I insatllaed this new updated ROM details are below,

pros

4g as LTE is back

both sims are working.

some cool features are added but of no use

Cons

same problem of play store (Annoying)

Storage same like before shows only 5 gb

Dialer gets stuck

very buggy

gets very hot when you open any application

My Suggestion don't install wait some time for more stable ROM
[Device Reviews and Information] danny30:
All done. I think thats it for me until someone suggests another very good app of course.

I am going to change both NipWakeLock and NipCollectorWakeLock to 600 seconds as you recommended in one of your previous posts. Please let me know if there are other settings that you would recommend to change. Thank you again for all your help. I would like to buy you a drink as a thank you for all the help over the last week?
[Device Reviews and Information] stapo101:
I don't make any other changes to amplify other than the NLP ones.

I'm terms of recommended apps, I use the following:

Camera: as well as the stock camera I use google camera, nice and simple, material design and I like the lens blur functionality.

Gallery: I like quickpic. Nice material design and it allows you to block directories so that your gallery doesn't get filled up with thumbnails.

photo editor: as well as the stock editor I like snapseed. It comes with some great pre-sets and quite a lot of customisation.

Music player: I really like "eleven" which is the new name for Apollo the cyanogenmod music player. Not available on play store but if you google you'll find the apk. Really nice material design, never had any issues.

There is also a really useful app called "SMS backup and restore". This allows you to quickly make a back up of all your SMS and MMS messages. It also allows you to back them up to XML and email them to yourself. You can then restore your messages from the email very easily. It works so much quicker than the other SMS backup tools I've used in the past. Really useful tool if you are swapping out ROMs often.

And then if course you have Greenify and wakelock detector which are very useful for keeping your battery usage under control.

No need for the beer. Just glad I can give something back. I have got so much use out of XDA in the past and have had very little to contribute. I know its frustrating when everything isn't in the one place so hopefully some of my posts have helped others. And anyway, I've not done the hard work, Simone from spacerom who modded the boot.img, userdata and recovery deserves the credit.

Now, how do we go about getting the ECOO e04 its own category in XDA?;)

Ecoo E04 HELP ME please!!

Hi everyone,

Sorry for the dramatic title but i wondered if anyone can help me?

I have the Ecoo E04 and i am having real trouble getting a new ROM on the device.

I have tried using a number of ways to get a custom recovery on the device but nothing works. I am rooted and have SuperSU installed. I have used Flashify to install a new custom recovery but this doesn't work. I have tried to use ADB and SP Flash Tool (will not even recognise my phone in this to download and flash) but no joy.

When i have used a file browser it does show that i have CWM folders in my phone but if i boot to recovery using Quick Boot it always takes me to stock recovery which is poo to say the least. Also when i get to the stock recovery it is the android robot fallen over with the triangle which seems to suggest something is broken.

Whenever i try and flash anything i get the error "partition recovery not support flash".

What am i doing wrong? Could anyone give me any pointers please?

Thank you in advance
[Device Reviews and Information] cdfa:
It worked! Thanks so much! I found out what my problem was too. You have to press the power on/off button when you are in recovery mode to make the gui visible. There you can select to install other zips, so I could have just rooted by flashing some of the other root.zip's on this thread: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2/orig-development/04-12-2012-universal-rooting-phones-rom-t1746794, but your method works great too. Thanks again for helping :)

btw. does anyone know when we can expect lollipop update?
[Device Reviews and Information] thewell:
Hi all, this was a phone I was looking at before I got seduced into the club1941 debacle! It's being updated to 3gb ram-what difference does it make? Also, on official ecoo publicity there is no mention , I think , of otg, glonass or gorilla glass- but I have seen all three ' confirmed 'in different places. So is this poor marketing or a case of mistaken assumptions? And there are all these 64bit phones being released, how to choose-are they essentially the same, so should I choose based on support/community?
[Device Reviews and Information] Danacy:
So, did you try it? Does it work? :)

Does the fingerprint scanner still work?
[Device Reviews and Information] Danacy:
Hi,

Can I ask you. Are you getting 3G/4G to work?

If yes, do you have a Chinese service provider?

I have a western mobile service provider but I cannot even search for 3G networks. Only 2G will come up.
[Device Reviews and Information] buca84:
Can do both SIM slot the 4G?
[Device Reviews and Information] s7yler:
No, you can only set 1 of them to 4G.
[Device Reviews and Information] rautasahamies:
Those zips work also in kitkat?

Sorry s7yler, just too sceptic about all those iroot, vroot, kingroot etc apps.
[Device Reviews and Information] cdfa:
Well I haven't actually tested them, but I think there's a reasonable chance they will. I'm not really an expert though.
[Device Reviews and Information] s7yler:
I have used these for over 1 year on more than 20 phones, never got any virus, trojan or any of my accounts hacked. So I am pretty calm using them. As long you just remove/uninstall the Chinese supersu / apps afterwards there's nothing to worry about.
[Device Reviews and Information] rautasahamies:
Tried installing those zips, got kinda rooted: just enough to make MTV Katsomo to not to work (it doesnt support rooted devices). Also 3/4 rootcheckers said that has root access, but tried to rename /system/media/bootaudio.mp3 with no success. That has something to do with supersu saying "binaries need to be updated" but fails everytime?

Will try that iroot today after work.

hi all , i can't activate the finguerprint , the button stay grayed.

does anybody have the same issues ? and how resolved it .

i try to re-flash rom , wipe etc without succes .
[Device Reviews and Information] rautasahamies:
Acquisition and something and delete fingerprint button, put your fingerprints there and it magigally starts working :) one finger is enough
[Device Reviews and Information] vikman53:
i can't delete fingerprint because i can't scan my finger, or i don't enderstand what you mean .
[Device Reviews and Information] rautasahamies:
That's the right place, just choose a finger, wipe and select what you want it to do, and that fingerprintunlockthingy becomes available
[Device Reviews and Information] vikman53:
i know that , at the beginning it work fine . but now i only can enter on the scan but he don't take my mark here. only the picture that show how switching the finger on the scan but when i swip my finger nothing appears .

1. It is bad I would say. At least with stock kk release before apr10. It lasts for 8h for me, but I use quite heavy apps.. And it its overheating with heavy games.

2. Display is excellent!!

3. Don't know about headphones, but speaker with music is OK but in my moto g is much better. Loudspeaker for calls is OK.

4. Stock kk is OK, but not ui is not do fluid as expected. No single lag in apps and overall performance is awesome!! :)

5. There are some different roms for it, just search in this thread.

6. Both yes:)

Cheers.

Hey goldieboy1980,

I was in the same boat as you just yesterday!

I was almost ready to give up on being able to flash using SP Flash Tool searching everywhere for a way to get SP Flash Tool to do something.

I tried a load of different things so i'm not too sure which of these it was that fixed my problem so i'm going to let you, or anyone else, to figure it out as i don't want to mess up my set up.

But before you try any of these place your SP Flash Tool folder on your desktop as well as the ROM folder you want to flash.

Now try to install PDAnet drivers. (mine was the A180 version).

now i'm not sure what PC OS you have (so this can change) but i have windows 8.1 (64bit) and i got a program called spinstall with an Inf folder containing usbvcom.cat, usbvcom.inf, usbvcom_brom.cat and usbvcom_brom.inf. I then ran the spinstall.exe in admin mode and it successfully install the inf files(from what i could tell in the install log).

If you want i could upload the spinstall and the files for you if you can't find them online for you to try to see if it'll help you.

After having done all of the above i managed to get SP Flash Tool to recognise my phone and flash a new ROM and custom recovery.

Hope this helps

[Device Reviews and Information] danny30:
Hi Guys, well I have just discovered a problem. All my photos have disapeared from my phone for some reason.

I've tried to test a few things to see what might be the issue. Firstly, I took some more photos and tried rebooting my phone and when I checked the gallery they disapeared again. I did this a few times and always the same result even with the Quickpic App. I checked my SD card with file manager and the photos folder is empty. I then took my sim card out and took some photos, I the rebooted again but this time the photos didn't disappear. Is this a problem with the phone settings or the SD card? I checked my KitKat and Lollipop backups on the SD card and they are still there so it seems it may only be the photos that are disappearing.
[Device Reviews and Information] stapo101:
When you say they disapeared do you mean after flashing a new ROM or just generally? Your photo storage will likely default to your phone storage so if you flash a new ROM then you will wipe them from the phone storage.

Are you using xposed with XinternalSD? This allows you to "overwrite" the default path to the internal SD card - so that you can redirect to the external SD card. You can do this for all apps or select which apps this is for. That way your photos will end up on the SD card and will be protected when you flash a new ROM.
[Device Reviews and Information] danny30:
Hi Stapo, it is happening generally. I installed the Rom a few days ago and this is happening just now. I removed the SD card to see what happens and all the photos have saved on the phone and not vanished. I thought it might be the SD card but my Rom backups are still there so I am not sure.

I have xinternalsd but don't know how to use it.
[Device Reviews and Information] stapo101:
Ok, make sure it is activated in the modules page of Xposed Installer app.

Launch XinternalSD and check the box "Custom path to Internal SD card"

Change the path to internal SD card so that it reads "/storage/sdcard1/" this is your external sd card

check teh box "include system apps"

check the box "full access to external SC card"

Now click on "Enable for apps" and select the apps that you want to take advantage of using your external sd card for storage. For example, I have Amazon Music, Camera,Gallery,Gmail,Podcast Republic,Snapseed checked.

To test it, take a photo, look it in your gallery of choice (eg Quickpic) and view the details, this should show you the storage path to your photo.
[Device Reviews and Information] AliAzizi97:
Just a quick question stapo101

did you get xposed working on the stock 4.4.4 ROM? cause it says that theres a known issue with Aliyun OS and i was wondering if you've got it to work on the stock ROM and if not, do you know of any way to get it to work?

Many thanks
[Device Reviews and Information] goldieboy1980:
Thanks

Thanks so much AliAzizi97. I want to try this. Is it possible to post the links to the download pls?

Thanks again an fingers crossed
[Device Reviews and Information] AliAzizi97:
do you have a 64 bit or 32bit computer?
[Device Reviews and Information] goldieboy1980:
64b bit Ali

---------- Post added at 06:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:37 PM ----------

windows 7 by the way if that makes any difference
[Device Reviews and Information] danny30:
Thanks for those instructions. I followed your steps and activated it on xposed, checked all the boxes and typed in /storage/sdcard1/ and the photos are still saving on the internal sdcard1. What's worse is I am getting a message popping up every few seconds saying 'Android. Process. Media has stopped working'. As soon as I unticked all the boxes the message no longer popped up. Maybe I should just let the photos upload to the phone and see if they start disappearing. These problems are starting to drive me crazy :-/.
[Device Reviews and Information] stapo101:
Yes it works fine on the stock 4.4.4. You can safely ignore the "Aliyin OS" warning, it is incorrect - I had the same.
[Device Reviews and Information] fourzero0:
Of course it's that simple. I have used that app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...und&pcampaignid=APPU_1_DxJiVcjwFOH7ywPtnYPICg

Now I set airplane mode and turn off the phone when going to sleep, then it starts quietly at 6:50 and the alarm app wakes me up 1 minute later.

Now the only thing I miss is support of CM12.1 themes.
[Device Reviews and Information] stapo101:
Did you try rebooting?

---------- Post added at 07:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:11 PM ----------

which camera are you using?
[Device Reviews and Information] danny30:
I've rebooted several times and I'm I'm using the camera that came with the phone. Is there a better camera that you would recommend?
[Device Reviews and Information] stapo101:
The stock camera should be fine.

Just to double check,

You have XinternalSD activated on the modules page in Xposed installer?

In XinternalSD, you have "Custom Path to internal SD card" checked?

under "path to internal SD card it says /storage/sdcard1/ no inverted commas, no capital letters, slash after sdcard1?

"enable for all apps" is not checked

Enable for apps: you have camera checked?

Disable for apps is left alone

"Include system apps" you have checked?

"full access to external sd card" you have checked?

The only other thing I would ask is whether your sdcard is actually called something else other than "sdcard1". You can check this by going in to file manager.

All that XinternalSD is doing is tricking the apps into believing the sdcard (or rather the emulated sd card on the phone internal storage) is actually at /storage/sdcard1/
[Device Reviews and Information] goldieboy1980:
Thanks

Hi AliAzizi,

Is it still possible to get those files please?

I really appreciate your help on this.

Thanks
[Device Reviews and Information] danny30:
Yes, I did all of that but I only selected 'gallery' and 'quickcam' options from the app list on Xinternalsd as I can't see camera listed. Could that be the problem
[Device Reviews and Information] AliAzizi97:
.filedropper .com /smartphonedriver

just delete the spaces to get the link

just unzip the file and open the x64 file and run spinstall.exe as admin. It should successfully install the .inf files.

You can find the PDAnet file with a quick google search. remeber A180
[Device Reviews and Information] stapo101:
Ok, one more thing to try, and it may seem obvious, but have you checked how you are set up under Settings>>Storage? You want to be set up to use the sd card under "default write disk" not Phone Storage. The stock camera is a built in system app so shouldn't have the same problems that 3rd party camera apps may have in terms of native access to your sd card (which is what XinternalSD fixes).

I am betting you have the default write disk set to Phone Storage and that is your problem.
[Device Reviews and Information] danny30:
Haha, you are right. I changed it and now it's working perfectly. I will need to keep an eye and hope that my pictures don't just disappear again. Thanks Stapo
[Device Reviews and Information] danny30:
Hi all, just want to say a big thank you to all the contributors in this forum. it's been a huge learning experience for me here over the last week and a half. I didn't even know what flashing or rooting meant when I came in here at first and thanks to the help from the people in here I have managed to use and apply these successfully to my device. Thanks again.

On a side note, I have just purchased the greenify full package so if anyone has any recommendations on what system apps to greenify to improve battery performance please let me know.
[Device Reviews and Information] goldieboy1980:
Genius!!

AliAzizi thanks so much man.

You are a genius...it worked
[Device Reviews and Information] AliAzizi97:
Perfect! Thats what i like to hear! :D

No problem. I'm just glad I managed to help someone on this forum just like how others have given so much of their own knowledge in this forum.

Hope everything else goes to plan!
[Device Reviews and Information] danny30:
Well my photos have disappeared again. Infact even the 'camera' folder itself in the DCIM folder of my SD Crd is disappearing. I have greenify, amplify and the trickster Mod enabled so am wondering if these could be interfering or is it just the SD card itself
[Device Reviews and Information] svdhorst:
Hey everyone.

Does anyone else have touchscreen issues with this phone?

Every couple of days my back and menu buttons (temporary) stop functioning.

I installed pie controls with Gravitybox for this. After a while my touchscreen seems

to register random touches and I have to take out the battery to fix it.

I had this on the stock 4.4 rom and now also on lollipop spacerom.

Any ideas on how to fix this? Could it be a software issue (because the first day after

taking out the battery everything works fine).
[Device Reviews and Information] AliAzizi97:
Thank you. There wasnt any problems with it.
[Device Reviews and Information] danny30:
Regarding the photo issue, I am going to buy and try a new SD card. I just wanted to know how is everyone's battery life here on their ecoo? I am wondering what amount of screen time I should expect on average. I have about 2.5 hours of screen time and am on 28%. This is with my brightness set on low and my location switched off. I have the GSam Battery App, Amplify, greenify pro and the trickster mod, so quite a few battery savings apps.

Upon checking GSam to see what is using the battery I can see that android system and Google app have between them used about 20% of my battery alone. This is despite me setting Wakelock to every 600 seconds. I also tried to greenify Google play services but it doesn't seem to work. I am assuming that most of you must be getting a far better battery life than this. What am I doing wrong?
[Device Reviews and Information] Bullguy:
Danny i am also facing the same problem when you select SD card as default write disk the photos vanish from sd card but if you select Phone storage then there is no problem photos are safe.
[Device Reviews and Information] danny30:
Hi Bullguy, have you tried swapping your SD card and checking if the problem still persists? I think it may be a faulty or corrupted SD card.
[Device Reviews and Information] Danacy:
Yes, I've tried them all as well but non of them worked really well. I've got my hopes up for the SpaceROM development although I can't seem to install it (bricks my device but can be unbricked with stock ROM). If we all donate some coffee to the dev maybe it will go faster! :D I gave him two coffee's (4 euro's)

And as a user here said before; maybe Ecoo has different priorities right now concerning the development of new firmware. I do believe the developer of Ecoo ROM's is connected/working for Elephone. Next to all the rumours of Ecoo and Elephone being the same company I've noticed the same error's and programming approach in the Ecoo and some Elephone ROM's. Example: if you search for error's with scatter files in Ecoo ROM's, your will also get results from Elephone ROM's. Next to that; Elephone was the first to get CM12 'to work' on a MediaTek device. Two weeks later we see a version for the Ecoo showing up. The dev was even so proud of it that it uploaded the CM12 ROM as an official ROM on the ecoo.hk official download page. *Note: do not install the CM12 ROM, it's not working really well. Now, I say all this because Elephone is busy with the P7000 launch and the upcoming P8000 as well. Now, those devices are promised to have Android 5.1 installed out-of-the-box and as far as I read everywhere; the optimization of Android 5 for MediaTek is not going so well. So, I think the priority of the Ecoo/Elephone dev is not with the E04 at the moment and there-for we'll have to wait (if upgrades are coming at all) or we have to support custom ROM dev's :) I think the latter is the quickest way to get improvements. So hurry and help us out 'SpaceROM' Simone :laugh:
[Device Reviews and Information] Bullguy:
Well i will try out and see
[Device Reviews and Information] lildwell:
Well said. I'm using Spacerom right now and its pretty good. Easiest ROM to install and haven't had any problems with it so far.
[Device Reviews and Information] danny30:
Does anyone know a good app to curb the wakelocks and use of Google Play Services and Google App? I think that these are contributing to the battery drain that I am experiencing. Greenify, Amplify and Ds batter saver don't seem to be working. I can see *alarm* "is one of the worst culprits. I have already:

- set my phone on low brightness

- used greenify pro, Amplify and Ds Battery saver

- turned off location

- disabled Google now and auto-sync

I have seen an app named 'disable app' does anyone have experience with this? At the moment I would be lucky to get over 2 hours of on screen time currently.
