This is a very difficult learning process. I seem to run into problems with everything I try. I don't want to risk anything so I might try and install CWM and it should overwrite the TWRP file I assume. On page 5 of this thread a member sent a link to download a CWM.rar file to use and flash with flashify, however it seems that flashify doesn't let me select this file to unzip. Can you not extract Rar files with flashify?

Would unzipping the TWRP file again but this time selecting one of the Wipe Data, delvik or cache options make a difference?
[Device Reviews and Information] fourzero0:
All you risk is just you'll have to setup the phone once again. I'm doing it every week almost :)

I don't know what you mean by unzipping with these options. Do you unzip it on the phone or PC?

I did all of that but when I select the 'recovery.img ' from the explorer folder it says 'file could not be loaded'. Unbelievable huh :(. The only thing that I have been successful in so far is rooting with the IROOT program.

Thank you Axelman and Strapo101. I can't tell you how much I appreciate all your and the other memebrs patience and the help. I have now installed CWM and backed up KitKat onto my SD Card. Strapo101, thank you for taking your time to explain the instructions very clearly and in such detail. I will follow them and hopefully get Lollipop installed successfully. I really like the TWRP method you used to create a folder for KitKat. Very clever.
[Device Reviews and Information] stapo101:
No probs. BTW, I'd be very surprised if you felt the need to go back to KitKat after trying out a stable version of Lollipop for a while. Once you have it up and running you may want to try xposed.
[Device Reviews and Information] fabus:
Stapo101, there is no stable lollipop for e04, no?
[Device Reviews and Information] stjames:
Hi stapo,

i follow your instruction and i succeeded install official lollipop ROM (with option "Format all + download").After that when i try(twice) to flash recovery.img, boot.img and userdata.img from the Spacerom v1.0 ROM but give a message "PMT changed for the ROM;it must be downloaded".You know what means that?Thank you
[Device Reviews and Information] stapo101:
Which model of the phone do you have? 3gb or 2gb? Did you download the correct version of spacerom v1.0 for your model? Did you use the scatter file from the recovery or from the official 5.0 ROM?

---------- Post added at 06:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:33 PM ----------

Well it's probably a matter of opinion but I found the official lollipop ROM dated 30th April and the one posted on this thread from 7th may to be very stable. As stable as the KitKat ROM in my experience.
[Device Reviews and Information] Jeric0:
Have this error because the partitions are change.

You have 2 possibility, or format all again or you can try to use the same scatter file that you had use with official lollipop rom
[Device Reviews and Information] stjames:
I have 3gb version and the scatter is from recovery
[Device Reviews and Information] stapo101:
And do you definitely down load the 3gb version of the spacerom v1.0? If you didn't then make sure you download the right version. If you did then use the scatter file from the official ROM and replace the boot, recovery and userdata files with the ones from spacerom.
[Device Reviews and Information] stjames:
I replace and works (space rom 3gb was correct).But i check with root checker and said that root access is not properly installed.In this case what I do?
[Device Reviews and Information] stapo101:
How did you root? Did you download the flashable SuperSU.zip from XDA or did you just let TWRP try and root on its own? You need to use the flashable SuperSU.zip and install via recovery.

Hi, I just wanted to go into cwm recovery a minute ago, but I pressed the wrong buttons (I don't go.into recovery that often so i pressed power and volume down). Instead of going into recovery it went into factory mode and I got a list of Chinese words in Chinese characters and had no idea how to get out, so i pressed the power button again and my phone began to all kinds of weird stuff (something with gps, all kinds of colored rectangles on the screen, a green screen with a terrible peep noise), but after that it thankfully booted up normally and everything was still there, except the date was reset (just like when you pull out the battery). Does anyone have any idea what I just did or can anyone give me some information about factory mode?

I'm still on the latest stock kitkat from the builtin ota app and rooted.

Regards cdfa
[Device Reviews and Information] danny30:
Well guys, I finally managed to install the official lollipop 5.0 version :D and I also flashed the files from spacerom to enable TWRP and fixed the IMEI numbers. I am so happy!

I am just not sure about the last step of rooting the phone. I tried IROOT but for some reason this didn't work.

"To root either ROMs (if that's what you want to do) then put the SuperSU flashable zip (found elsewhere on XDA) on the root directory of your built in SD card and install it through TWRP recovery."

Where can I find this SuperSU flashable zip and there is no 'root directory' that I can see in my phone storage files?

Thanks
[Device Reviews and Information] fourzero0:
Here's the link: https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip

Root directory means the top level, just put it on your SD card. Reboot into recovery (I think you know now how to do it), and flash the downloaded zip with TWRP. Reboot, you're rooted.

[Device Reviews and Information] Danacy:
Yeah sure. Always good to see new versions, but that could still be an issue.. on the official Ecoo download page they've posted a 'new Lolipop ROM' looking like a regular update, but it seemed to be a CM12 Alpha/Beta ROM which messed up some people's phones and in the best scenario just doesn't really work well.

So this 20150521 ROM could be anything. A new ROM, a CM12 ROM and/or a existing older ROM which is now re-posted and that's why it's now called 05_21 :eek:

Only way to find out is to try out :)

If it was for the 2GB version I would try it

[Device Reviews and Information] stapo101:
Obviously, one's tastes in terms of audio settings are completely subjective. They will also depend a great deal on the headphones that you use. If you haven't done so already you should increase the max volume of the headphone output via MTK Engineering Mode app.

With my Bose 5G7VR in-ear headphones I get pretty good results from the following settings in Viper4Android (these are all available via the "Expert" setting under "UI Setting"):

a.	Spectrum extension: strength 0.6

b.	Enable equalizer and max everything (this gives an extra bit of volume boost)

c.	Headphone sound+: level 3

d.	Dynamic system: unknown type IV, dynamic bass 12% (this will be competely dependant on your 'phones) try each of the headphone types from the menu until you get one that sounds good for you)

e. Viper bass: 40hz,6.0db

g.	Clarity: 8.0db

g.	Output gain 6.0db (this gives you a very healthy volume boost)
[Device Reviews and Information] Danacy:
Lisaquach,

What do you mean by that? It's not a well-known brand perhaps, but Ecoo is a brand. It's owned or supported by Elephone, a pretty known and big Chinese company.

CPU getting hot...

Hi guys,

I have noticed that CPU is getting really hot after playing Royal Revol 2 game (I suppose every graphic rich app can cause this).

After the game I checked cpu temperature and it was 80 Celcius! Quite hot and it almost burns my fingers... It gets hot below the camera (upper side of the phone).

I`m a little bit worrying about back cover plastics....

I tried limiting max cpu (to 1.4 Ghz) with Trickster mod and Performance controll apps, but without success. CPU monitor always shows 1.7 Ghz....

Any ideas how to limit overheating?
[Device Reviews and Information] stapo101:
Which ROM are you using? I believe that the temperature issue is something to do with the CPU governor in the kernel and is unlikely to be resolved until mediatek release a supported version of lollipop to the manufacturers (sometime in June?).

Have you tried Spacerom v1.0. That uses a custom kernel that is meant to address the heating issue. Would be good to know if it makes a difference.
[Device Reviews and Information] fabus:
I am using stock Kitkat from beginning of the April... Release before Apr 10 release...

BTW. Are there kernel sources released for e04 3gb? Maybe someone came across some custom kernel for stock rom?

Cheers.

No that doesn't look right. Have you clicked on "Install Driver" on the settings menu? During installation it will also prompt you to install BusyBox. Once the the driver is installed you will need to reboot.

Hey guys

Today, i worked with an app called TricksterMod. This app is free from the playstore.

I adjusted the tcp to "cubic", the governer to " Performance" and the sceduler to "CFQ". This is very good for the BatteryLife. I get 2 hoirs more onscreenrime than usual.

This was only today. I will check some more days, but this seems promissing.

Are you already not using Amplify?
[Device Reviews and Information] danny30:
Well I have had lollipop 5.0 installed for a couple of days and here are my observations so far.

- visually KitKat was better including the look of the apps and WiFi symbol. Also apps on screen seem bigger and more cramped.

- no battery number indicator or easy way to switch profiles on phone.

- much worse battery life in my opinion compared to KitKat. Draining much quicker.

- sound on phone speakers and through earphones is still terrible.

I am sure there are improvements but I am not sure what they are yet.

Flyme OS

I have been using this device for 5 weeks. i have been searching for stabe custom rom because this stock rom isnt really smooth as expected. I tried flyme, which was nicest but lacks SD card support. I switched to Color OS Beta 2 which was another alternative but has issues with Google server. Tried Jiayu ROM but not comfortable with the rom. I tried Lollipop but didnt trust it because it is not officially released by MEdiatek. For now, all i need is lagless rom. Jiayu MOBILE has upper hands here. Team Force is really helping the OEM in preparing ROMS for all Jiayu user.

I wish God will send someone to cook a stable rom for us. Just 1
[Device Reviews and Information] stapo101:
Seriously guys, I wouldn't hold your breath for Ecoo to deliver on many more updates. In terms of stability, in my experience of running the 7th May lollipop ROM for several days, and the 30th April Lollipop ROM for several days before that, both these ROMs are what I would call stable. They give me no issues at all. The only thing they might be accused of is overheating when under a heavy load for a while, but by all accounts someone on this thread complained of the same thing running the stock 4.4.4 ROM.

Surely running an official ROM from the manufacturer is preferable over running a ROM designed for different phone all together? Each to their own though.

---------- Post added at 05:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:53 PM ----------

Interesting observations. Whether you prefer KitKat over Lollipop visuals is a matter of taste. Personally I really like the fresh look of material design over the black menus of kitkat. I find the combination of the lollipop ROM with sense7/blinkfeed very pleasing visually.

Battery % can be achieved using xposed + gravitybox.

In my experience, the lollipop ROM is slightly kinder to my battery than kitkat was - particularly when you combine it with xposed + amplify and set the nlp wakelock settings to 600, and also use Greenify for apps such as facebook and facebook messenger.

I am not a heavy user, and today is quite a light day today but as of right now (5pm) my battery is at 91%having been running all day and has an estimated 1 day and 22 hours left. Now, as I said, that is a light day, but I usually comfortably get to the end of the day (11pm) with plenty of charge left (30-40%), and that includes running bluetooth all day to connect to my smartwatch.

I think one thing we're probably all guilty of is playing with a new ROM that we have installed. This results in significant screen on time and there is no getting away from it, a 5.5 inch screen requires plenty of juice. That is what will kill your battery quicker than anything.

I frequently check what is going on with wakelocks and alarm triggers using wakelock detector and in my experience there are far less troublesome apps causing wakelocks in lollipop than kitkat and I know that is one of the key areas that the android developers focussed on when creating lollipop.

Personally, I would say persevere with lollipop if you can, give it a couple of days and see what it's like for you under normal use.

Thanks, I will try Amplify. Can I download Xposed from the playstore or do I need to flash it again? I did download it from the playstore but it says 'xposed is not (yet) compatible with Android SDK version 21' so I am worried to press the install button.

[Device Reviews and Information] fourzero0:

Thanks fourzero.

I can see that installing xposed can cause bootloader problems so don't want to go to the hassle unless it really does help with the battery. Please does anyone know how to fix the Viper4android issue. Improving the sound of this phone is my highest priority. Listening to music and the loudspeaker on the phone are unusable at the moment.
[Device Reviews and Information] lildwell:
I have Xposed and it works well. I'm not running amplify though.
[Device Reviews and Information] stapo101:
I've been running xposed using the method linked to above. It works fine and doesn't give me any bootloader issues. The one thing I have noticed is it can do some funny things to the transparant backgrounds of some of the widget buttons and status bar icons but I can live with that for the benefits it gives on the battery. If you are worried about trying it just make a backup of your system using TWRP first.

Not sure what else to say about Viper4ANdroid. As long as you use the method linked to in one of my previous posts then it should work fine. I have installed it several times on Ecoo E04 roms with no issue. If you really have trouble then why not try a completely fresh install of the ROM first.

You are rooted are you? You have to be rooted for Viper4Android.
[Device Reviews and Information] fourzero0:
I have been using Greenify for years. Yesterday I have installed xposed and amplify on default settings. No problems with xposed and amplify looks really promising - after 7 hours since charging I have 83% battery.

The sound is really good too, little quiet on headphones but I didn't raised the max level with MTK app yet.

I have installed Viper, but the speakers sound was good even before.

Actually I found it too loud :) Do you know any way to lower the volume of the booting sound? I find the boot up schedule (don't know the exact name) very useful, bout this sound gives me heart attack almost :)

[Device Reviews and Information] stapo101:
Dude, you really should give Amplify a go. It's on playstore. It is really simple to use. I use it to change the settimgs for NlpWakeLock and NlpCollectorWakeLock. These are 2 of the most annoying bits of android ever created. Basically, their sole purpose is for you phone to contact Google every 3 or 4 minutes to let it know of any wifi hotspots etc close by. This is all so Google can improve on it's location mapping etc. It gives you no direct benefit at all and kills your battery. No thanks Google. I set both of these to the maximum recommended by Amplify (600 seconds) and it makes a real difference to battery usage.

Make sure you download the one for 5.0, not 5.1

Once you have xposed installed, here is the link for GravityBox for Lollipop. This has all sorts of useful tweaks including adding the battery percentage.

Amplify you can install from playstore.
