Thanks man!

what do i have to go for first? recovery?

how i perform backup?
[Device Reviews and Information] Axelman8:
Hey dude

Yes, first get the recovery :D You will need it to root Ur device.

In the recovery, you will be able to make a ROM backup (NAND) on your interval or external SD (ext recommanded)

For Root i suggest you Find SuperSU.zip from chainfire. This is the most easy and safe way to root. You can flash it from the recovery by "installing .zip" feature.

Replying to myself but I got MIUI V7 working.

I can't determine why but I had to swap from stock 4.4.4 to stock 5.0 rom. Then do a full wipe in TWRP, and flash the .zip. (obviously after backup)

I've only been using it for a couple of days, but so far had no problems with over heating or lag of any sorts. I'n fact the Rom is pretty speedy. The battery life isn't as good as stock 4.4.4, but I haven't installed and xposed modules for the battery yet.

All other features seem to be working well, apart from the finger print reader which I don't use, and the flip case clock window which I do.

I'm not a massive fan of Miui normally, and I'll probably go back to stock rom after a week or so, however the rom is pretty stable and looks quite nice.

Unable to install Google Now Launcher

Hi all.

Did anyone manage to install Google Now Launcher on Ecoo e04 ?

Just received my unit yesterday, installed with Lollipop 5.1

Overall I am impressed by the quality but dislike the integrate Ecoo Launcher (no app drawer and I suspect it is generating random ads from time to time).

Anyway, after installing Google Now Launcher, I want to select it as the default app - It is missing in the "Home" selection - only Ecoo Launcher is presented...

Tried looking around the web, Making sure Google (search) is installed, but still cannot select Now Launcher.

I also cannot seem to find the "Default App" selection in My device settings (not under "Apps").

Some suggested making sure google is configured in "Auto-Start" permissions but it is missing from there as well...

Did anyone manage to install it ?

You help appreciated !
[Device Reviews and Information] Axelman8:

I guess you install your apps on the SD?

Install it on internal memory... I guess this should do the trick

[Device Reviews and Information] Axelman8:
Hi

Yes i did... But i thought this had to do with the int. Ext. App installation.

I guess i manager to install the launcher bij using Titanium backup...

I now use HTC launcher with BlinkFeed.. Never want anything else anymore... This BlinkFeed feature is much more efficiënt than Google now launcher for sure.

Dude, the original Home app was a huge ad maker. Especially if using different launcher. I'm using Nova (since... ever). Uninstalled the original one thru titanium backup and have no ads ever since.

But why I came here tonight is... Well, I sorta can't play embedded videos... For example on Facebook or (adult content ones) although youtube in browser works just fine. - if I tap the play button it thinks for a moment then resets without starting to load. Using Chrome, but tried other browsers and original works just fine ... apps work fine as well (therefore no nuPlayer problems. Any ideas?

Anyway, how did the android update work (from the backup I provided) does it work?

Peace

But which recovery is the best , and where can i find it?
[Device Reviews and Information] Axelman8:
Hey dude

First rule on XDA: Search!

If you use the search..you wil Find Ur answer quicker... Everyone in this thread has the recovery, and how they got it, is written in this very same threat :D

Search for "SpaceRom" and / or "recovery" and you will be fine.

Keep reading the tutorial written to the letter. You must follow every step to the detail.

Keep searching, if you need additional info, cause it is all here!

Good luck dude

This model phone has two variants: one with mtk6752 processor, and one with mtk6753 processor.

There are several custom Roms for the older mtk6752 model, but there are none for the newer one (mtk6753).

Question: why? I read that mtk do not release the source code for their processors and this makes it hard (impossible?) to make custom ROMs for mtk phones. But in this specific case, how is it that even the mtk6752 model has custom Roms available?

I am a developer (not for Android) and would love to know why this case exists.

Please and thanks.

Thank you,

But I was asking about the situation for this specific phone and it's Roms.

I'll rephrase: do kernel sources exist for the mtk6752 and not the mtk6753 version?
[Device Reviews and Information] Axelman8:
I can only speak about the 6752 SpaceRom 5.0 that is available on NeedRom.com

This is a custom rom, because they have created a Recovery and root on a 5.0 origional rom and build a new ROM from that.

Creating a ROM that can be flashed isnt that hard to do. There is enough threats on MTK that can help you.

What is your goal? You just want Recovery and Root?

Im pretty sure you can use the SpaceRom recovery from the 6752 ROM and flash this on Ur device. Then you can flash a.zip root and Ur customized urself.

Hope this helps

Installation performs full wipe (including getting back wrong IMEI) and turns on encryption, so take care of it.

Flashing

Hey guys

I've got a E04 Plus an since the OTA update is not working i've tryed to flash the ROM manually but it doesn't seem to work as well... Everything i've tryed on the flash tools gives me an error message on the scatter file. I'm using the v5.1452.00.000 and i've already used the v5.1408.00 (i've also tryed with an older ROM from 15/02 and the scatter file gives me an error too).

I've got it rooted with iroot, and CMW installed so i'm out of ideas on how to get it working.

Can anyone give me a little help on a more detailed tutorial on how to do this?

BTW there's a new OTA update available but it seems "My system is broken..." on this too so i can only manually upgrade it.
[Device Reviews and Information] fourzero0:
You can try the 5.15.12: yadi.sk/d/v8vFd2fSgFUrD or try the official version from needrom.com/category/others/e-f-g-h/ecoo/

I had that problem before with previous official 5.0 version, but the current 20150430 was installing without problems.
[Device Reviews and Information] Axelman8:
The problem is when you select "Download" . you need to select "Firmware/Upgrade.... But do not FORMAT your system...just firmware upgrade.

The official Rom is on the ecoo site... This one works.

If you select the picture of the E04plus in a desktop browser (product page), you will get another page... On this page, select ROM (right corner) and you will get the latest 4.4.4 ROM available.

Goodluck

Okey, so i updated my 3gb version to Android 5.0_20150430 yesterday after more than 3 hours of hardwork. at some point my device does not even start ... so i would not recommended anyone to flash his device with SP Flash Tool, because you need:

- the right usb driver

- installed manually, and even Windows 7 say: "this driver does not work", when you plug the phone: "MT65xx Preloader does not work" ............

but SP Flash Tool successfully flash my device !

and again, the right version of SPFT, i tried 3 versions, only once worked ...

So now i deleted everything and hope to do the next update OTA, or with the recovery.

So far, no issue with Android 5.0_20150430, only one stupid app: 流量宝 alias: com.oupeng.max

i can't remove it nor desactive it :(

I've done all of that and it did not worked... The problem i'm facing is to get to Flash Kit to read the scatter file witch he does not do.

This is my main problem:

[IMG="Scatter error"]http://i60.tinypic.com/29cnnfr.png[/IMG]

I've tryed with all the Flash tools that i could find even the version on the needrom thread v5.1516.00 and an older one that i've got on an older computer v5.1348.00

I have an Zopo ZP998 and if i open the scatter that i have for it it works, if i open the one for ZOPO and then try to open the one for the Aurora no problems there, but if i open the one for the Aurora first this error appears all the time.

I'm looking to buy a Ecoo E04 Aurora Plus, any problems regarding the heating in the back? My last one a VKWorld VK700 over-heated a lot with little use.

And another question, i use a lot data stream, youtube, online browser game and skype, does the battery holds on well to this kind of demands? And if not is it possible to buy a better battery?
[Device Reviews and Information] Crishien:
To the heating. - I have had no issues with overheating while running games with high graphics (although it gets a little warmer). Doing everything else doesn't heat it at all.

Battery - I have everything on (data, GPS, WiFi, adaptive back light... Everything) many apps running in background as well and this battery lasts the whole day even with hard use (only one time it didn't, but it was caused by game update - they updated again later that day and it's all fine now). Also the phone has this battery saving mode, which might also help. ;) hope I answered your questions, if you got some more, go nuts ;D

Hi to all :)

I would like to urge you to test the next custom rom (porting). Unfortunately I am not able to post the links because I am a newbie here.

You will find it on Needrom. The title is the following : "ECOO E04 Plus-VIBE Lenovo K3 Note porting".

Please read carefully all the steps in "UPDATE 01 – STRONGLY RECOMMENDED" (red) & "3C TOOLBOX PRO – RIGHT VALUES – STRONGLY RECOMMENDED" (yellow) under "DESCRIPTION".

I need to ask these : 1/ Can you turn off the backlight button on stock rom & also on CF roms? Xposed Framework supported?

2/ Will there be enough juice to power up a WD Passport using regular OTG cable (Galaxy phones can do so AFAIK)?

3/ Seems that there aren't much CF for the 3GB version, why..? Did someone try to install the CM12.1 rom (for 2GB) on the 3GB?

4/ Heard that battery's acting funny, like.. When it reach 30%, it'll go down to zero extremely quickly.. Fixed or not?

5/ I currently use Elephone P6000 which issues are : bad GPS, HORRIBLE camera, poor microphone. All these seems ok on the Ecoo, confirm?

6/ There's no regular silicone case AFAIK, only flip covers, which i dislike.. Is there an alternative? For P6000 i used Acer E700 case..

COLOR! I highly hesitate between white & black : the black back cover looks really bad to me, however with white version it's the front i dislike (due to borders).. What do you think?
[Device Reviews and Information] copperge:
Hi Cleo, Good to see you on XDA :)

I have been using your ROM for a couple of weeks and safe to say I love it at the moment. I've not run the recent updates as of yet, still using your initial upload, but I have a couple of observations.

Firstly from my experiences the battery runs better on stock 5.0. I've noticed that once it gets down to around 30% or so, it drains incredibly fast, and before you know it the phones off.

Secondly it does overheat occasionally, mainly when under heavy use. Casual use there's no problem so it's not a huge issue for myself. . That being said I haven't tried reducing anything, nor have I tried your recent updates.

Other than Busybox and 3C Toolbox, has anything else been changed?

Overall the performance is great, I'd just like to see a slightly better battery life. If you can suggest any tweaks you have done to improve that it would be appreciated!

Thanks and keep up the good work Cleo!
[Device Reviews and Information] GoJo ^^:
Please take a minute to reply my questions ;)
[Device Reviews and Information] copperge:
1. As in torch? Most ROMs have a torch supported. My torch has unfortunately broken and I'm unsure why, doesn't seem to work with any ROM at this moment in time but I'm working on that.

Most ROMs I have used support Xposed Framework, the only exception being the MIUI V7 ROM which results in boot loops.

2. I can't provide a valid yes or no answer to this. However, this phone does have a 3000mAh battery, where as the most recent Galaxy S6 has 2550mAh. So on paper, I would say yes. But as I do not use a WD Passport hard drive, I cant be sure.

3. I'm not sure what you mean by "CF" but if you search through this thread for discussions on ROMs, you will come across plenty of comparisons with advice on which is best. The ROMs that are available are mainly focused at the 3GB version of this phone.

There are two CM12.1 roms available over at NeedRom, however from the reviews, they are not the most stable and I myself would be reluctant to test them.

4. The battery life varies a lot based on the ROM you are using. I found it to be fine when using stock 5.0 and stock 4.4.4. Other ROMs don't seem to perform as well. It would be workth scanning the thread for comparisons between ROMs battery life.

5. Camera is fine for my use. But I rarely use it as I have an actual camera. Sufficient for a phone camera.

I've just tested the GPS on my current ROM (VIBE) and it is very inaccurate (+50m or so), with my location shooting all over the place. I cant recall what is is like on other ROMs. The speakers are a little tinny and quiet, they can be boosted in Engineering Mode, but they're not the best.

6. I have it in black with a flip case, with the clock window. I haven't come across and silicon cases or alternatives.

I have this phone in black. The back of the phone is actually a dark navy blue, with a pink trim around the camera. I myself like the appearance.

At the end of the day, this is a budget phone, which performs remarkably well for the price. You would be hard pushed to find one which performs better at the price. If you want all of the above to be perfect, you should be looking at spending a little more I reckon.

I like this phone, it meets my needs perfectly, however it's true that its not the best performer all around and may not be for you.
