Try it and see it for yourself :)

Make a Backup of your current ROM. If you don't like it revert back :D

MIUI V7 (5.8.2)

- https://yadi.sk/d/aMkuRtPgifAed by andrejchern

I don't know what is modded though on andrejchern's MIUI V7 (5.8.2)

You can get TWRP Recovery and flash Custom ROMs then make a backup to see what is suitable ROM for you. Test the ROM or Revert back from Backup.

Here's is what i believe the best ROM that suits me.

I'm Running the Custom Chinese FunTouch 2.0 6.13.2 (6.14.4 update just release so it might change)

With some of my preferred modification:

- Using Nova Launcher as my Default Launcher

- Using the True Phone Dialer & Contacts as my default phone dialer

- Disable and uninstall bloated apps

- Viper4Android install to get better Audio

- Xposed Installer for useful module

- Change gps.conf to your preferred country

To be honest the camera is my low priority so can't comment on the camera, as long it take good photo I'm all good. :D

The Audio is the reason i brought the Xshot so having Viper4Android is essential to me.
[Android General] guitarman61:
You can get TWRP Recovery [/QUOTE]

Which TWRP app or doesn't it really matter?
[Android General] WetsHD:
TWRP Recovery is a Custom Recovery.

- Turn off your phone.

- Hold and press the volume up key + power key together till you see the TWRP Logo.

The user Interface should look similar like this image below.

That mean you have TWRP Recovery. This will enable you to Install/Flash, Backup, Restore Custom ROMs and other useful things.

To install TWRP Recovery you need ROOT. Follow the guide in the first header page.

You need a TWRP.img compatible with the Xshot the first header page. is compatible.

Root access

Hi Experts,

I have been using xshot X710L for almost 1 year and very much enjoying the phone. Specially the Camera and Music enhancement. I don't have root access and is on Chinese ROM with English language.

So far Using Chinese ROM didn't hinder much of the good experience. However I want to have ROOT access and install Viper4Android for better audio experience.

Right now I am on Funtouch OS_2.0, PD1302_A_6.13.2.

So, In order to root my phone, do I have to go back to 1.18, then 1.16 and use one of the tool given on first page to root this and then install a custome recovery(Say TWRP) and install the ROM.

Kindly confirm if these steps are enough to get root access and install new ROM?

Also, will I get latest OTA and the update will not void my ROOT access?

Thanks in advance
[Android General] WetsHD:
Yep that pretty much sums it up.

You can't OTA update if you have a Custom Recovery. Unless you know what you're doing.

To get latest update you have to wait for someone creates the Full or Small zip package to enable to Flash/Install via TWRP Recovery.

6.14.4 Just release for the Chinese ROM. Right now I'm waiting patiently for 6.14.4 that is compatible with TWRP Recovery.
[Android General] tarun_funy:
Thanks WetsHD for the prompt response.

So what the best ROM which is compatible with TWRP?

Also, I guess to go back to Out of the box ROM, it's easy to do?

Thanks
[Android General] WetsHD:
All Custom ROMs in the First Page is compatible.

It's Seems like you want ROOT. So i would recommend the 6.13.2 which is the latest at the moment. (6.14.4 will soon release)

- FunTouch 2.0 v6.13.1 (Small Update file)

Having problems with the preservation of the root.

Setting relative 6.13.2 happens, all the files are stored. Modules of Xpozed is worked (and possibly Viper works too). I can put this update 6.14.4 for testing, but it has no root :(
[Android General] WetsHD:
Just take your time and figure it out. :)

Guess i'll try it for testing.
[Android General] bine64:

TWRP remains and can be used to access the system files
[Android General] WetsHD:
Yep, Viper4android and Xposed working.

But somehow can't write to system using ROOT explorer and also titanium backup can't get ROOT access.
[Android General] bine64:
Programmers Vivo specifically worked on the protection of the root. Apparently they did do it.
[Android General] WetsHD:
This is what concern me for latest Software update and future Vivo device. Ever since FunTouch 2.0 first release, Vivo have been Strict of being ROOT friendly. Which will make it hard for us to obtain ROOT.

Why Can't I just ROOT straight away like in FunTouch 1.2 v1.6 on any FunTouch 2.0? Well this is your answer from Vivo Technical Support.

I think that is load of rubbish at least have an friendly option to do so. Not one of these issue I have experience this problem.

As a result, It's up to the user to take responsibility and we want easy friendly ROOT option like in FunTouch 1.2 v1.6 or older for future software update and devices.
[Android General] tarun_funy:
So is it worth to stay on Chinese ROM? rather than International one. Anyhow OTA won't be there which was the plus point for Chinese ROM?
[Android General] WetsHD:
Your choice

For FunTouch 2.0

International ROM don't have ROOT.

Chinese ROM have ROOT.

Custom 6.14.4 is available for testing now for TWRP Recovery users. So it already have the latest update.
[Android General] WetsHD:
Reverting back to 6.13.2 now. I don't see any difference from 6.13.2 and 6.14.4.
[Android General] hvung1982:

[Android General] WetsHD:

I have make various hard resets and all follow same.
[Android General] chester810:
I have a very strange annoyance with my Xshot, which started to show up with the recent 4-5 updates of the chinese Funtouch 2.0. I have since rooted it, but no change in that glitch:

Whenever I look at the battery profile, it shows that "WLAN" is activated 100% of the time 24/7. The thing is that I hardly ever use WIFI at all, just mobile data, therefore it is actually switched off in the settings and also all icons etc. which indicate WLAN are off. I am not sure if this is just a display bug or if it really somehow still is on (without being connected to an AP)? Betterbatterystats etc. also report that WLAN is on 100% of the time.

Anyone else came across this or knows if there is some root application out there which can force WLAN off? It does not seem to affect my battery life or any functionality, but it just really bugs me.
[Android General] hvung1982:
Are you use custom ROM of [MENTION=5572120]bine64[/MENTION]?
[Android General] chester810:
I do now, but I had the same problem with stock as well. So whatever is causing this issue in my Xshot, it survived the factory reset I did before flashing the custom ROM. I think I noticed this first somewhere around the update to 6.10.x or 6.11.x and it did stay persistent since then.
[Android General] bine64:
It was possible to get Root to 6.14.4

Titanium BackUp and Root Explorer work.

Install with CWM or TWRP

[Android General] WetsHD:
Thank you, it's working now. I have Full Root for 6.14.4.

I can confirm Titanium Backup and Root Explorer is working.

*sorry for bad english by the way :D
[Android General] WetsHD:
As of now. The only way to get Root For FunTOuch 2.0 (KitKat) is to install TWRP Recovery to Flash any Custom ROMs with Root pre-installed.
[Android General] Ruziqu's:
So if i install custom rom funtouch 2.0 international version via twrp,so the root is pre-installed? Or must use china ver? My phone already twrp installed by the way
[Android General] WetsHD:
no.

Only the Chinese Version have full Root for FunTouch 2.0 at the moment.

International Version is incomplete Root.
[Android General] Ruziqu's:
So i must install the cinese ver to get the root? Is there any special instruction? To install it via twrp?
[Android General] WetsHD:
Backup your ROM and Wipe/Factory Reset if coming from International ROM.

Yes, you can install it directly without rebooting your device if you have all the file required in your Internal Storage.

Backup your ROM.

Wipe/Factory Reset if on International ROM.

- Edit the Updater-Script in the 6.13.1 Zip package to delete "assert(getprop("ro.hardware.bbk") == "PD1302MA");"

Keep in mind i didn't even edit the Updater-Script. 6.13.1 works fine to me without editing the Script.

MIUI 6 Storage Issue [RESOLVED]

So I went ahead and flashed MIUI 6 yesterday and began restoring my apps using Titanium Backup until I ran out of space half way through. I had a look at my Xshot's storage usage and noticed that everything was being installed on "system storage", however I cannot find an option anywhere that will allow me to change the install location to " internal storage" like I was able to with Funtouch 1.2.

Does anybody know a way to do this?

[EDIT]

Just after I sent this I went back into settings and found it! It's really hidden in some odd menu for some reason. So if anyone else needs to know follow these steps:

Go to Settings -> under the "Accounts" section tap on Settings -> tap on Applications. Then change the preferred install location to phone storage.

I've been using Miui 6 for about a week now and I think I might go back to Funtouch; Miui feels a little slow at times and I don't like the way it handles RAM usage. While multitasking, sometimes when I switch from one app to another the app refreshes which is very annoying.
