hello [MENTION=5994621]MacArthur67[/MENTION] !

what makes you believe that these phones are the same?

I managed to get a device which looks like the pics that [MENTION=6110429]turbletone[/MENTION] posted, but it's branded as an Lenovo s8+ !

Of course that device never existed :P

what makes you believe that this device is the same with the JIAYU G5S+ or the ELEPHONE P6i?

from what i can see on the outside, they don't have the same home key, the power button isn't in the same position and the same goes for the cameras.

I'm trying to get the original specs of the phone and will report back. :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MacArthur67:
All these no name, copy and fake phones are mostly made in the same OEM factory, a company that is usually referred to as "Alps". You can see that Alps fingerprint in firmware version names/numberings and many other device settings deep down in the software. Also many "brands" like Elephone, iOcean, THL, JiaYu and so on are made partly or entirely by "Alps". The apk's needed to fake AnTuTu and other benchmark app scores are widely spread and easy to get for any fake-phone business owner. All they have to do is buing the hardware base from "Alps" and assemble the fake phones with that and parts from the parts industry, with any brand labelling they want. Therefor very little is different between these different phones. Small variations in the outer appearance and batteries and sometimes the screens is all the difference there really is. Usually all these fake phones and copy phones, including "copy brands" like Goophone, build their devices around standard cicuit boards from "Alps" based on MT6572 and in best case MT6582. Then the fake phone makers also include the apk's to fake the specs to MT6592 usually. The worst I have seen was a seller on AliExpress who sold a "Samsung" phone which they claimed had a MT6592 with 4GB RAM and 4G and a FHD screen. Samsung never made a phone with MT6592 as far as I know and that SoC can only take 2GB RAM and has no 4G modem on-board. They obviously photoshopped the device specs screen dumps from AnTuTu in the product page on AliExpress but it was clear because they used another font in the edited text and forgot to change renderer data (GPU). It said Mali 400 MP1 which is MT6572! :D It means that the device can't have more than a 960x540 screen and 1 GB RAM but I bet that it has the apk's to fake score/specs. It means that if you can identify what real SoC it is in your fake phone (most likely MT6572 or MT6582) and what the real screen resolution is, then most likely the firmware for the equivalent Elephone model will work in your fake phone. If it fails it will most likely be the display driver that is wrong. I would suggest to back up your original fw and then flash the new fw without the preloader (and perhaps recovery) for as long as the preloader is working you can't hard-brick it. You will always be able to flash back your original fw or test another fw. If you flash an incompatible preloader your phone will become completely dead (can’t be powered on, it will not charge and won’t be detected by the computer anymore) and there is no way to recover it.

nice info there [MENTION=5994621]MacArthur67[/MENTION] !

with the reference to alps i found this thread!

I managed to gain root access on the phone and froze some of the below apps that seemed suspicious.

please tell me the names of the apks that show the fake device info in order to freeze it and see the actual specs of the device.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MacArthur67:
Sorry for late reply but I've been away on holiday for quite a while.

Wow, that's a whole bunch of suspicious looking software you show there. I don't know the exact names of the apks that handle the fake device info in your phone. The code is basically the same but the names are different. GuardService 1. ... for example must be some fake software. It would be interesting to open your firmware in a Linux environment and take a closer look. I honestly think this is funny. Unfortunately I'm no expert and have very little time at the moment. Otherwise I would like to have a look at it. Did you sort it out anyway by trial and error? I mean by freezing one by one?

About ROM development

friend, i havent developed any ROM yet...but i saw the thread about ROM you are developing in the Moto G 2014 -> Android Development section. The discussion tells that its a bootloop issue and bootscript issue too..So what i want to suggest is cant we use the same bootscript that is being used in stock ROM ? It may not work but we can modify it a little bit and continue with it. i would really love to try your ROM for our Moto G - XT1068. And sincere thanks for thework you are doing yaar...

CR ROM for Moto G Titan, variant xt1064?

Hello...

I am in the US, and wondering if the CR ROM will function properly on the xt1064 (single SIM) variant of the Moto G (2nd Gen)?

I am rooted, bootloader unlocked, have Philz Recovery (CWM 6.0.4.7) and looking forward to a KitKat based custom ROM.

Better don't since the system of these 2 are different, if you want to have the effect of Stereo mod v15 on v12, you can move the mixer_paths.xml from v15's zip (/system/etc) and overwrite it to v12's mixer_paths.xml :)

thanks for your liking ;)

When on the v15 Stereo mod is it possible to just flash the SoNiCo v12 with the changed mixer_path? Or do I have to first change back to stock?

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fekish:
After having passed from brands as Sony Ericsson, Motorola, Nokia in last 15 years, i decided to depart a bit from them. In 15 years just 3 brands you can understand that i like to be loyal to a specific brand...

I decided to go to LG, and oh boy it was a disaster.

After 3-4 months of use i started becoming a lover of LG G2 and i was gathering a list for my next big purchases from Amazon: LG 48" tv, LG phone for my wife and LG sound bar.

However suddenly i noticed a glitch to my L:G G2, a glitch on the feature that i originally selected LG G2: the camera. All photos were blurry. i searched a bit on the internet, and noticed that a lot of users complained about the scratched camera that made the photos blurry.

I tried to fix the lens by myself but with no success... the camera was probably the most important feature on my phone - since i have two little twins to take all day photos!

I sent my phone for repair to a company that LG sent me to, that is their official repair shop: www.fonemaster.com.cy

I told them that this is something that hundreds of people have the same problems from a search online, and gave them numerous links, in order to show that this should have been under warranty.

They came back, not accepting that it was under warranty and i had to pay the repair!

Of course my answer would be f*ck off, and just wanted to throw the phone in the garbage! Fortunately Amazon accepted to send the phone back.

And fortunately i didn't buy all the other products that i wanted to buy from LG, i wouldn't want to deal with their horrible customer service!

After numerous emails to LG, i never got a reply back from them, and they just left a customer alone - and all these: for a replacement accessory costing about 15$ !!

Now we are extremely happy owners of Huawei P7, Sony Xperia, Samsung HwF550 soundbar, and we are going to buy a Samsung TV.

Adios LG, you will get zero from me in the future! NEVER AGAIN LG

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wajahebat:
I dont see other users complaining like this. Maybe its not particular nowadays. Me too had a bad experience with Samsung Service Centre but thats normal. I dont bash like this in Samsung threads.

To me all brands seems the same, if its your luck happen to get a faulty unit and a not-customer-friendly service, swallow it. This Q&A section is for people to share their technical experience and problems with G2 but not the problems with Service Centre, infact the one you've proceeded is not LG's owned service centre.

Okay im gonna stop here, chill out dude this problem like you faced is not uncommon anymore, all brands are like this. ;)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fekish:
ok understood.

What frustrates me is that simple things that are so common problems for users, and through google you could easily be aware of it, LG should have known and be able to fix them...
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] votinh:
First, I'm having a hard time understand how a scratch lens could cause the image blurry. 99.99% blurry images are user problem but I don't rule out that you are the 0.01% left.

Second, my rule of thumb, if it is really a hardware issue, w/i the first 30 days, I would return to seller for an exchange or refund w/o bothering the mfg. After that, I would contact LG for repair, if it still under warranty, they should do it for free, if not, walk away from them. However, if it isn't under warranty for some reason such physical abusing, hacking, rooting, ...... you should expect to pay.

Third, if you're not happy with one mfg., you can try another. Good luck with Huawei.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fekish:
Ok,

First: please Google blurry images due to scratched lens. You will understand that the problem is 99.9% a malfunction due to the manufacturer.

Second: i tried to solve my problem with Lg but they didn't want to fix a 3 months old phone

Third: i already decided that i won't buy another lg product

Fourth: what's wrong in expressive my opinion? I should just praise a manufacturer or contribute in ROM development?

i had the same sh*t customer service to, i tried to explain to them about the camera lens being scratched and they also gave me the link you got and i would be charged, but i told them to f*ck off as it should be under warranty, i then fixed the lens myself with some atonish polishing paste, i then got a phone call asking about the phone and i said its fine ive fixed it myself and he asked how so i told him and he said your warranty is now void so i just laughed and told if it breaks mate i will throw it straight in the f*cking bin your warranty is a joke.
