8.) Any change in battery life?

I am satisfied with kitkat and don't see any need in updating to lollipop at least not until it is confirmed that there are no downsides.
[Android General] _panter:
One day and few hour with the bigger batt. but i'm waking it up many time per day :)

---------- Post added at 09:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:08 AM ----------

btw is it normal that upon apply of the super su zip via twrp, i ended with factory reseted phone? i'm pretty sure i didn't reset it there myself.
[Android General] cryptonent:
I installed Kernel Adiutor on rooted new 5.1 rom and change governor to Powersave and I think the rom is better battery saver than 4.4.4.
[Android General] killeriq:
is the display issue fixed in the new 5.1 FW ?
[Android General] cryptonent:
Yes
[Android General] miljenko:
Do you feel any slowdowns on this governor?
[Android General] cryptonent:
No, not yet.

Anyone eles getting camera lag with new 5.1 update?
[Android General] _panter:
I experienced it even with 4.4. When I exchanged my sdcard, it seems a way better.
[Android General] Sn4kes:
Did anyone compare Kitkat and Lollipop GPS accuracy?

I am still on Kitkat and I've compared GPS navigation in Google maps with Nexus 5. On Nexus it was working perfectly, on Rock it was useless, every few minutes it changed my location in the meantime it was not moving or it was showing me going in random direction.

Is there anything to improve navigation?
[Android General] _panter:
this bug has been fixed. i've driven with it to work and it only did it once, guesing it lost some connectivity. otherwise it stays rock solid, in low speeds. maybe it's delayed by a second or two. In generall, no prob with it in 813 build.
[Android General] cryptonent:
I tried with iGO NextGen - working good.
[Android General] mrcasuli:
Hi, someone can run xposed successfully on 5.1?
[Android General] mmaaiinn:
Yes, you need to download "xposed-v71-sdk22-arm64-by-romracer-20150816.zip" from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/xposed/super-alpha-posted-permission-xposed-t3072979 and flash it using twrp, then install the original Xposed Installer.
[Android General] Sn4kes:
Since it was mentioned that GPS is working better and I also like powersave governor (I know it from Linux) I am thinking of switching to newest Rom. It is kind of hard, because I've just configured and installed everything needed and got used to original Kitkat...

I am not a kind of guy who is keep on switching and testing roms.

What I would like to know is if new rom is totally stock or does it include anything special? Does it have "pop up" menu if you drag from the bottom of the screen?

Is two sim cards management as good as in Kitkat?

Iocean should publish some kind of screenshots and update/bug fix report with roms.
[Android General] ThomasKIK:
Got mine!

Hi guys,

I got my M6752 about a week ago, do you want to see some tests?
[Android General] miljenko:
And what do you think? Opinion? Look?
[Android General] fchagnon:
Yes please.

What about battery life ?
[Android General] cthulhu79:
How about in call volume? can you hear who's calling you properly? Thanks in advance :)
[Android General] miljenko:
Could you please share your opinions and maybe some photos with us while we wait for our phones.
[Android General] miljenko:
I need some of the phone owners to check something for me. I you go into Setting > Security > is there SuperUser option to be enabled? I have TWRP ready and I will like to share it with you but I need to know is there factory root included.
[Android General] hanuma:
Where did you get this TWRP?
[Android General] miljenko:
I have made it :) with help of factory firmware posted on needrom yesterday. Do you need it? I don't understand your question.
[Android General] hanuma:
Yes I Am. I want. a link to the Needrom
[Android General] miljenko:
Here is a link to the latest TWRP 2.8.4.0 for iOCEAN m6752. You must understand that I don't have this phone and you will be testing something new, never used before. Be ready to flash factory firmware by FlashTool if phone is bricked

[Android General] miljenko:
Looks promising. I'm waiting for my to arrive, I hope in few days. Camera seems like average. What make you thinks it is only 8 MPx? Have you found what chip camera use? If I compare your photos to the ones made by Huawei P7 (13 MPx), they are a bit under-saturated but resolution looks nice.
[Android General] ColonelZap:
Hi :) I can only guess what the REAL megapixels are, usually they are interpolated, so my guess is 8MP. So far I wasn't able to find out which camera sensor this phone has :(
[Android General] mesang:
Hi all,

I got the phone for some time now and wrote an extensive review about it you can find here: http://chinese-smartphones.com/review-iocean-m6752-rock/

What I really like about the phone is that it feels good, solid build quality and it's blazing fast. The new 64-bit processor from Mediatek seems to be doing a really good job. The camera is fine during the day as well, but it gets worse then you get lesser lighting conditions. During the evening it was hard to get a normal picture with the smartphone. Going to see if it's something with the settings or just a bad camera module.

The screen is very good. Looks crisp and sharp, great colors and the full-HD resolution is really making the big 5.5" inch screen beautiful. The sandstone back cover feels good and the battery is okay.

Hope you enjoy reading the full review.
[Android General] Calugarar:
Got mine yesterday, it's pretty fast it doesn't stutter switches between apps without a hick-up. Once i turned on ART, seemed that it was a tad faster at loading apps. It has SU out of the box, just have to enable it.

Battery could be better, tho i had some problems with some apps (non-native) draining it, charges really fast IMO, which is nice, tho I would of loved it if it would came with an extra battery. Deff a custom kernel would make the world of a difference in this dept. Charging cable is thicker than normal and it's a bit short.

Both cameras are decent, they take good pictures/videos, can't really complain about it.

The in-call quality is pretty great, the microphone picks up the voice clearly and the ear-piece reproduces sound at a decent volume. The stereo speakers on the back sound nice but they don't really get too loud, maybe that could be fixed later on with SW. Signal quality is great, had reception where most phones would struggle or wouldn't have reception. WiFi speeds/signal is great.

Gets warm fast around the camera module. The phone all in all is made quite well, feels sturdy the sandstone (black in my case) feels good to the touch, tho i suspect it picks up grime and it'll get dirty fast. So far I just had one issue with it, the GPS/location wasn't that great. For example whilst trying out Ingress, i kept jumping back and forth, not being able to really play the game nicely, tho that could be the problem with the game itself, didn't had that much time to test GPS out.

Oh yeah almost forgot, the double-tap to wake or slide to unlock works decent, 8 out of 10 times it wakes the phone up, the other ones just sits there and does nothing until i push the power button.
[Android General] miljenko:
Is there anyone brave enough to try TWRP posted by me.
[Android General] Calugarar:
I'll give it a go in the weekend when I'll find some spare time.
[Android General] Megavolt2000:
Hi all,

got my M6752 on monday and I think I really like it.

MTK Engineer app says that the built in cameras are Omnivision 13850 and 5648. The 13850 is in fact just a 13,2mp sensor, not 14mp like iocean says.

Nevertheless I think it takes good pictures, unless in low light condition.
[Android General] miljenko:
Thank you for your info. I'm waiting for my phone. Expected it today but still nothing. I hope it will be soon in my hands
[Android General] Calugarar:
Did anyone flashed miljenko's TWRP yet?

I never used FlashTool before, isn't it just for Xperia phones? Can someone please post a link to the latest version of FlashTool?
[Android General] mmaaiinn:
Looks pretty stock to me, however it's my first Lollipop contact so i may be wrong. :p

No but the Google Now thingy is still here.

Yes, I think it's the same.

5.1 update

is it worth updating to 5.1?

is gps and camera working now .

is there anyway to update but keep my apps and data ?
[Android General] miljenko:
It is worth definitely. GPS is better than on KitKat, camera is same (a bit more interpolated). Since SP FlashTool is used there us no chance to keep apps and date. You can use Titanium Backup to backup all apps and data you need.
[Android General] alfon6:
Hi, I'm thinking of buying the iOcean m6752 ROCK, since I do not see anything better for this price.

It fixed the problem of the GPS 100% and solved the problems jumping from one position to another ghost? it can be used properly with google maps and TomTom?

Thanks and sorry for my English
[Android General] Pete.L:
I'm still on kk and it generally works fine for me imo, so from what others say 5.1 is even better.
[Android General] alfon6:
Ok, then it is not a widespread problem? Thought was happening to everyone.

According to the usage time you wear. you recommend buying the phone? I'm thinking about buying it if it has serious flaws as GPS, etc.

Sorry for my English and thanks for your time.
[Android General] texrex10:
GPS is all good now
[Android General] alfon6:
Ok, thanks for your reply.

Is anyone getting camera lag on new 5.1 update?

Its OK I've fixed it was an app slowing it down
[Android General] _PrEzi_:
You may try Viper4Android. The instruction should be generic :

http://freaktab.com/forum/tablet-su...-louder-on-android-devices-viper4android-root

I didn't tested it myself on 5.1 thou so make a nandroid backup just in case.
[Android General] nutellamarco:
thanks for your reply I will test it.

Best regards
[Android General] _PrEzi_:
And for the second problem (battery drain) I recommend :

Xposed + Greenify + Amplify + MobileRadioActiveFix (here on XDA) +MinMin guard for ADs.
[Android General] nutellamarco:
hello,

any body tried the lolipposensed rom like HTC mentionned some pages back? it is prerooted,

is-it better than the one on ocean site?

Please advise me which one,

i would like to pass to 5.1 because battery charges very slowly with 4.4.4 and drained very fast.

Thanks for all for your advise
[Android General] miljenko:
I have made that firmware and it is based on latest official from iOcean. Yes it is prerooted, but you have to install official by SP FlashTool and than Sensed firmware.
[Android General] nutellamarco:
hello and thank you very much for your reply.

on the site of iocean there are 2 firmwares with 5.1., which one? please, can you tell me

I am afraid to flash the phone, I don't know how to use flashtools and I saw there are many versions. in the forum they talk about scatter txt where I can find it.

another question, if i do a backup with twrp before passing to 5.1. can I put it again with twrp after flashing 5.1. and your firmware or I will lost all?

thanks a lot for your help.
[Android General] miljenko:
I will try to answer your questions.

Download official firmware, version 1308 https://mega.nz/#!6x4BWJzJ!shedxupsMlNsoENvk1157uAbhnAg_fqQ7nLQs0Ob5YA

Use latest SP FlashTool V5 from here http://www.needrom.com/download/sp-flash-tool-v5-1424-00/

You need to install drivers from here http://www.needrom.com/download/mtk-driver-auto-installer-v5-1453-03/

Scatter file is included with the firmware.

TWRP backups can be done only if you backup whole system, you will not achieve nothing with TWRP in your case. Use Titanium backup and restore your apps, but fresh start could be good thing.

NOTE: Use SP Flash Tool as Firmware upgrade, you will loose everything on your phone, backup photos and needed files from internal memory. Check youtube for some how to use FlashTools videos.
[Android General] nutellamarco:
thank you again

I will do as you say, I will backup with titanium and restore applications.

I will see how to use flashtools on the forum to avoid any problem.

It is very kind of you to help me

best regards
[Android General] MacArthur67:
Easiest way is Engineer mode -> Engineer Mode MTK -> swipe to Hardware Testing -> Audio -> Loudspeaker Mode -> Cahange Max Vol to 145.

Don't go above 150 as it might destroy the speaker.

Then you can do the same for the headphone output if it's too low also.

Your phone is pre-rooted on stock 4.4.4 so it's no problem to use engineer mode. Settings -> Security -> Superuser gives you root access.

Use the dialer to reach engineer mode (code: *#*#3646633#*#*) or install an engineer mode app.

Thanks for your efforts! I saw you did some work before on another device I own (THL W200S).

What else did you do with the stock rom except the launcher, rooting and some cleaning? Did you do anything about the overheating? Any changes in the thermal policy for example?

I guess it's up to the owners of this device to fix the firmware for it now since iOcean seems to be out of business.
[Android General] miljenko:
It is imposible to set governors by kernel, but this latest firmware from iOcean have disabled turbo-boost and max frequency is limited to 1690 MHz. Governors can be changed by using some 3rd party software. I have deodexed version on my laptop, just to pack everything and firmware will be uploaded. To be honest I play games from time to time on my "Rock" and it is working properly. Only my glass have unglued, like somo of you have reported already.
[Android General] MacArthur67:
You probably know this better than me but I wasn't talking about the CPU clock governors. I mean the Thermal Policy Setting in Engineer Mode --> Others --> Thermal. The default policy which is called "default" seems to do nothing with the clock no matter what temperature it measures anywhere in the phone. There are 3 Thermal Policy Files: 1 - default, 2 -thermal protection only, 3 - hight temp 120deg C. Switching to #2 seems to help a bit but in order to be able to do that you must edit the build.prop first.

/device/system/build.prop change ro.build.type=user --> ro.buildtype=eng

eng = engineer

Ideally the default thermal policy should be edited so that the max CPU clock and CPU governor is changed automatically step by step at set temperature values.

What do you think?
[Android General] alfon6:
The glass is unglued? Although it has not reached my smartphone and I'm reading a lot of bad things. I have not done good buy? It is a bad smartphone?

Best regards.
[Android General] MacArthur67:
It's fast and have a rather good camera but it overheats a lot and the firmware is buggy. For many users it overhweats to the point where the front pops out, digitizers die or they can't hold it because it gets so hot. At present it's also uncertain if the company still exists. The rumour has it that they went bankrupt a couple of months ago. If they can reconstruct the company it's probably uncertain if they will support the M6752 and other previous models with updates in the future.

Make sure you flash the latest KK firmware or the latest LP Beta or a mod in this thread or from some other source you can trust.

I would also use a tool app like 3C Toolbox to lower the maximum CPU frequency to 1.41 GHz (or lower if needed) and change the governor from Hotplug to something less CPU intense. The performance drop is negligible as the GPU is still at 700 MHz but it helps a lot against the overheating. Install CPU-Z to monitor the various temperatures in your device before and after any change. If it goes above maybe 55°C anywhere you're in danger. Many M6752 reaches 70°C after some gaming or YouTube and the latest LP Beta don't seem to fix that problem for every user. As a comparison my MT6592 devices don't reach over 40°C.
[Android General] nutellamarco:
hello

I download the firmware in the link (official) and the lolilosens also

please can you confirm to me that I have first to flash the official rom and after doing that beforce installing applications, i have to flash the Lolilopsense firmware,

it means I have to flash two firmeware or I did not understand.

thanks for your reply
[Android General] alfon6:
[/COLOR]

Thank you very much for your extensive explanation. Then it is safer to limit the cores at 1.41 GHz to avoid heat problems? Some recommended improvements rom improve this problem? Why do not all have the same problem mtk6752?

Thanks again.
[Android General] miljenko:
Yes, firstly flash official firmware and after that Lolipopsense firmware. Flash official firmware is to go up to Lollipop from KitKat.
[Android General] miljenko:
All MTK6752 have this overheating problem but some phone pruducers have better tuned power profile in the kernel. If this processor can be undervoltaged and underclocked, it wouold be cooler. Also graphics are heated a bit because of our phone resolution.
[Android General] nutellamarco:
thanks a lot for your answer

I am sorry to ask a lot of questions, but I don't knwo very well and don't want to brick the phone

I saw that I have to put the scatter file for the official rom, but after flashing the rom

I use again sp flashtools to put the loliposens, how I have to do? there is not a scatter file in the zip folder. If I use the same of the official, it will be flashed the same rom, isn't it?

Do I have to unzip both of the roms: official and loliposens

I am very sorry for these questions, all is ready I do a backup of the rom, of the data and with titanium only applications backup.

Thanks for your reply
[Android General] _PrEzi_:
For the modified ROM from miljenko you need to have (Custom Recovery) TWRP. He has published it -- look a few pages back for a lollipop-compatible TWRP. Then you need to flash it with SP Flashing Tools (untick everything but the recovery, use the same scatter file that came with the Lollipop ROM, click on the path to the right from recovery and point to the recovery image. Then Flash in Download mode).

Copy the whole zip image (don't unpack it!) of miljenko's modified ROM into internal / or external storage then --

Boot into recovery (Volume Up + Power) - select Recovery (volume up) and confirm with volume down. Wait. Then in TWRP recovery - perform a factory reset (not mandatory but recommended) and flash the ROM/zip via Install.

Reboot. Done.
[Android General] nutellamarco:
thank you for your answer

I will try it this night after working

I will flash the official rom and after flash the recovery lolipo and with twrp install the loliposensed rom.

I hope that It is will be ok

hello everyone

a return about flashing 5.1.1 and Lilop Senso.

with SP flashtools, I flashed the official rom

Immediatly, with p tools, I flashed twrp 2.8.6

I power on phone, I had a bootloop. I reflashed all and take off sd card

phone worked and twrp is ok

I install with twrp LilopSen Zip

Installation was done, they were errors at the end, I did not note them

I reboot phone and I have now HTC icons. Some changes with the stock rom Lilop

The major problem is that when I launch an application, it tooks about one minute to work. the screen is freezed. After one minute the application opens

it happened with all applications on the phone: I have to launch the application and to wait until the application appears?

Some body have encountred this problem? How I can reseolve it please?

If there is no solution? Do you think it arrives because I put Lolilopsens. If yes, how I can desinstall it and keep 5.1.1 with root?

Thanks for advance for your help
[Android General] nutellamarco:
please anyone can help me about this problem the applications take long time to be launched after updating to 5.1.1?

The screen seems sometimes freezing and when I touch button there is a blanck rectangle. nothing happens, i have to wait at least one minute.

thanks for your help

best regards
[Android General] _PrEzi_:
I don't have such a problem (but I am on Stock 5.1.1 that I modded by myself).

Go back to Stock and check if the same happens...

And in case you want to go with the modded one -- after flashing Stock ROM let it boot, ten let it settle for a few mins. Then flash TWRP, boot into recovery, perform a factory reset from recovery and install the modded ROM-zip.

In case any errors note them down this time around ;)
[Android General] alfon6:
Nobody knows modify the kernel to make undervolting the m6752 or router table volts per frequency to be and to prevent overheating? someone might say modified kernel modifications to flash?
