To clarify, What I have installed is the Sense 7 Blinkfeed home Launcher. This includes the Sense 7 clock, weather app, widgets, app drawer etc as well as Blinkfeed itself. It doesn't include stuff like the HTC music player or camera. If you google there are ports of these apps that are meant to work. I did a quick test this morning with a fresh install of the stock ROM, installed recovery and root and then flashed the HTC M9 App zip file from recovery and all I could see was the launcher and "Direct" which I didn't test. It was meant to include the Music and Video players but I couldn't see them. It was just a quick test and I didn't have the patience for it this morning so restored my backup.

Personally I was always a big fan of Apollo (the Cyanogenmod music player). It always seems very light on resource and works like a dream with larger sd cards (128gb) whereas I often have issues with other music players freezing with very high capacity cards. You can easily install the latest lollipop version of Apollo (which I think is now called "Eleven") either via a zip/apk or using the "CM Apps" app found on the playstore. Unfortunately, the latest version falls short compared with previous ones IMO, it looks pretty with it's material design but it no longer downloads artwork and doesn't allow you to access your "recents". I also have installed a version of Apollo itself that someone applied material design to that I found somewhere on XDA. That works well too.

tbh I don't miss the HTC music player myself but if you do some digging and experimenting you may be able to get it to work...I only spent 10 minutes on it. Let me know if you do.

That's the beauty of Android anyway, the customisation. I wasn't trying to make the phone look and feel like an HTC, I like material design, I use the stock keyboard, google messenger, quickpic etc but the stock launcher doesn't do anything for me. I find the combination of Blinkfeed and the Google Now full screen widget works great in terms of giving me the information I want on my launcher screens.

Good luck.

Hi [MENTION=5917082]SimoneGuarrera[/MENTION]

Great work you're doing over there. I have a quick question about the latest Spacerom for the 3GB E04...Am I right in thinking you are running a custom kernel with that? If so, what does the custom kernel address/fix? At the moment I am happy with the rooted and Xposed stock ROM from 30th April but I am keeping a very close eye on the progress you are making.

Hi Axelman,

- In my device manager under Ports (COM & LPT) it shows MediaTek DA USB VCOM Port (COM3). There is a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark.

When I have connected it through COM6 it shows MediaTek DA USB VCOM Port (COM6) this time without the yellow triangle.

The problems seem to be when I press the download button. Some versions of the SP Flash Tool will come out with an error message and some other versions won't but will just stay at 0%. When I connect the phone I can see that the phone has been detected but nothing happens.

- I downloaded the Android 5.0 from the Ecoo official download section.

- I have no idea what flash the spacerom means. I guess that is part of my problem. I am not that knowledgeable at doing this kind of stuff and I can just about follow step by step instructions.

Hello :)

Does anybody know why the phone is charging so slow? I dont think that the battery uses the full 1A from the power supply! Does anyone know how to charge it faster? I have tried several chargers. I think thats a software problem?

SpaceROM brick

Thank you for your work but I cannot install it. I checked if I have the right version and I have. (2GB version, 2GB phone)

SP Flashtool: Format all + download option. Works all good, flashed the ROM. After that: totally bricked. Couldn't even use the wall-charger any-more.

Luckily I could flash the normal 4.4.4. ROM back so I am happy I still have a phone. But I don't know what I did wrong :(

Still: tnx for your great work! :)
[Device Reviews and Information] stapo101:
That sounds to me like it is a pre-loader issue. Same thing happened to me with the first spacerom. When you flash it you will need to replace the preloaded file with one from a e04 3G ROM.
[Device Reviews and Information] Danacy:
Thank you or your replay. Do you mean the "preloader_bird6752_lwt_a_cu" ?

So I download the 3GB version as well and transfer the preloader_bird6752_lwt_a_cu from that ROM into the 2GB version? (I have the 2GB version)

*Edit: I tried multiple preloader_bird6752_lwt_a_cu.bin files. from 2GB and from 3GB ROM's but everything SP Flash Tool tells me the file doesn't match with the scatter fiel or something. :(
[Device Reviews and Information] stapo101:
Ok, I didn't see that you mentioned it was the 2G model you are using. You need a pre-loader file and scatter file that matches your model phone and version of Android. So if you are having bricking issues withe the 2gb version of Spacerom you could download the 2G Lollipop ROM from the ecoo.hk webpage and use the preloader from that.
[Device Reviews and Information] Bullguy:
After updating to L my wifi is not connecting it gives message "authentication problem' I HAVE 3GB version.

Spacerom v1.0

So, is anyone here running Spacerom v1.0?

I am still running the official 30th April ROM modded with recovery, root and xposed and am happy with it, but wanted to know of anyone's experience with Spacerom v1.0. In particular, I notice from needrom that it says the overheating issue has been resolved. Can anyone confirm this? Any drawbacks?
[Device Reviews and Information] lildwell:
I had the same issue. Do you have the correct drivers on your computer? Download and install the correct driver then fire up spflash tool. Make sure it is set to firmware upgrade. Load the scatter file from the ROM then hit download. Then plug the phone into laptop with the SD card removed and it turned off. I used this guide to download the correct driver.

http://thebroodle.com/windows/how-to-install-mtk65xx-preloader-usb-vcom-drivers-in-windows/

I used the version of flash tools found here as well. If you read the comments you can find an easier way to update the drivers needed on your PC.

Still bricking the 2GB

I tried everything I could think off but I cannot seem to get any of these two ROM's to work:

- Android 5.0 2GB beta (http://www.needrom.com/download/ecoo-e04-2g-5-0/)

They flash all good, not errors but when finished the device is just a brick. Is doesn't respond to a wall charger anymore or anything. I am able to revive the device when I 'format all + download' the stock 4.4.4.

I already tried to install the new firmware as a 'firmware upgrade' in SP Flashtool but that doesn't work. I tried to chance preloader files as some people told me but then the ROM won't even flash. I tried fice different SP Flashtool versions and all with and without battery..

Does anymore have one more idea? :D

Hi, can you tell us where this ROM is from? You said that it is official but I don't see it on the ecoo website.

I can confirm that it does load when flashed (I flashed as firmware update and unchecked the preloader). In settings>>about phone it states:

Android version: 5.0

Kernel version 3.10.61 Fri May 1

Build number ECOO_E04_20150507

It has also let me install TWRP (with the modded boot.img and userdata from Spacerom).

It could be my imagination but it doesnt feel as if it is heating up as much at this point.

Hi Axelman, I took a break due to frustration but will try and sort it again. I spent too much time to give up and with the help from this forum I think I can finally get it to work eventually.
[Device Reviews and Information] danny30:
I have just noticed that the drivers on the link you provided does not include the MediaTek MT6752 drivers. It has the MTK6582 /MTK6592 /MTK6589 / MTK6577 or any other MTK65XX drivers. I think I may have used the same link previously. Could that be the problem as they don't look like the correct drivers. Also do I need to de-select and untick the preloader USB option on the SP Flash player before I attempt the download? Another thing I noticed is that when I installed those drivers previously it said ' installed drivers for windows XP' but I don't have XP, I have Windows 7. I apologize for all the questions and thank you for your continued patience.
[Device Reviews and Information] stapo101:
Ok. I have successfully installed the rom with:

- TWRP recovery (spacerom 1.0)

- ROOT access (supersu.zip)

- Viper4Android

-Xposed running:

Amplify - improves battery

Gravitybox - several lockscreen, status bar and "recents" tweaks

XinternalSD - fixes access to SD card from certain apps

- Blinkfeed

Everything seems to be running fine. I can't see any difference between this ROM and the 30th April ROM from the ecoo.hk web page.

- wireless update still freezes and doesn't work

Can you explain in detail so that i can flash this ROM with root
[Device Reviews and Information] Axelman8:
Dude

When you run SPflashtools, do you run it as Administrator? Could be the issue.

Other thing, when you select firmware upgrade, it will select all the boxes automaticly, if you uncheck one, then the option firmware upgrade will change instantly.

Which is better? I have read on the comments that using the ROM on the first link kindly provided by Lildwel means that the fingerprint scanner may not work.

I also found another version of the ROM on the following link.

http://www.needrom.com/download/ecoo-e04-3gb-spacerom-1-0-0-android-5-0-0/

Which one is better. I assumed that the update would be the same wherever you download it but obviously I am mistaken.

---------- Post added at 01:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:33 PM ----------

HI Axelman, Yes I do run the SP Flashtool as administrator. Should I not be running as administrator? I am a bit confused though by there being different versions of Lollipop. In the one that Lidwell provided for example users are saying that you cannot get root permissions and some say that the fingerprint scanner stops working in that particular ROM version.
[Device Reviews and Information] stapo101:
The first link above is I believe the official ROM that is still available on the ecoo.hk download page. The second link is for a custom ROM (Spacerom) put together by a developer. There may be several differences between the 2 ROMs but the most obvious ones are:

Spacerom has a custom splashscreen and logo

Spacerom comes already rooted

Spacerom comes with the TWRP recovery built in

Spacerom has a custom kernel that I understand addresses the heating issue, although I have not used it enough to test this

The official ROM doesn't come rooted or with TWRP recovery

You can still install the custom recovery on the official ROM by downloading the Spacerom v1.0 and flashing the boot, recovery and userdata files from Spacerom over the official ROM. You can then flash the latest SuperSU flashable zip from recovery to root the phone. You can find this on xda.

As to which is better? I couldn't comment.

---------- Post added at 02:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:36 PM ----------

It's exactly the same method as my post #162 in this thread.
[Device Reviews and Information] danny30:
Thank you for the explanation. It seems from what you said that the Spacerom may be better but I would be lying if I said I understood anything from the last paragraph. Can't I just install install the spacerom 1.0 without doing the things you mention in the last paragraph? That is way over my head.
[Device Reviews and Information] stapo101:
Sure. But you still have to be comfortable with falshing using SP Flash Tool and realise that it will likely wipe your IMEI numbers so you will need to know what to do to key them back in.
[Device Reviews and Information] danny30:
I am not comfortable using the SP Flash tool but as far as I know all I have to do is

1) select the scatter file

2) Then select the dp download button above and select the appropriate file (forgot its name now)

3) Press firmware upgrade then download for oficial version or Format + Download all for the spacerom version

4) Plug my phone in and insert the battery?

If I am mistaken please let me know.

For the IMEI numbers can I follow these steps provided by Viyaka a few pages back after installation?
