Thanks, wlll give that a try!

Also, is it possible to hide the network name from the status bar at the top? My old phone (Moto G) has the option in the settings but the Vodafone SU6 doesn't seem to have that option.

Thanks!

Soft Bricked my SU6

Hi guys i rooted my phone with kingroot and installed a custom recovery which is Team Win aka TWRP. When installing a rebooting a new root application it has gotten me stuck in a boot loop (phone is just stuck on boot logo), i am able to boot into the twrp recovery menu i have wiped all the data and caches but it does not seem to get me out of the loop, i do not have a back up and i am wondering if anyone has a solution for this. The one I am leaning towards at the moment is that of flashing a stock ROM onto the phone i could be completely wrong so i need your guys help !!!

[General Questions and Answers] parkoper:
I recently purchased a Vodafone Ultra 6 and I love it... but it kinda lags (it runs on 5.1.1). I just rooted it and did some tweaks but still no help. Can you guys suggest me a ROM or something to make my phone faster please?

Just so you understand the lag: basically, even the app drawer gets stuck for some milliseconds when scrolling.

Edit: I actually just figured out that the lag is mainly related to system stuff. Some examples of lagging:

- sliding from up to down to get the notifications & settings (wifi, bluetooth and everything)

- scrolling in app drawer (sometimes it is fine)

It is funny cause I played some pretty intensive games on it and there were no lags, only the phone got hot.

------------

The most annoying lag is definitely in the app drawer and notification drawer.

I also own this old android phone: gsmarena .com/allview_a4_duo-6021.php and it does not lag in the app drawer like the Vodafone SU6.
[General Questions and Answers] xtr3m3:
Try using GravityBox (Xposed) to disable translucent decor.

The lag is still there for my phone, but it is slightly faster in other areas, and a little more battery friendly.

Also, there is only one custom ROM, check on Modaco.
[General Questions and Answers] parkoper:
Thanks man, I disabled it from GravityBox and I don't know if it's placebo or not, for me it feels a little better. I also use Greenify and hibernate 95% of my apps. It just seems weird for me that such potent CPU can't handle basic system tasks, so it has to be some software related thingy I bet.

It still lags when I swipe down for notifications though arghhh. Should I install the cumstom Modaco ROM? WIll it help my phone run faster? Have you installed it?

---

Also, calling someone lags so bad. Like, I press to call someone (sometimes by mistake) and the screen just freezes for 3-4 seconds. I can still hear the tone ringing... so I can't even cancel a call. That is really really bad. Please tell me it is fixable or I will smash the phone.

Changing phone's resolution to 720p solves many things...

open usb debugging from developer options and open command line from your pc

720p HD values:

adb shell wm size 720x1280 && adb shell wm density 320 && adb reboot

This is your cure, but if you dont like it try this, this is for more resolution, leaser performance (but still better than stock value) 900p HD+ values:

adb shell wm size 900x1600 && adb shell wm density 400 && adb reboot

If you don't like any of these, here's your stock values which is 1080p FHD:

adb shell wm size 1080x1920 && adb shell wm density 480 && adb reboot

Did you edit build.prop after installing xposed? You need to otherwise you will have lag.

Yeah I still get the call lag and swipe down lag. You can also change animation timings in Settings > Developer Options to speed up the animation of it.
[General Questions and Answers] BlueMoonRising:
I've always been puzzled as to why some people report lag (notification swipe down or in the App drawer) and others (me for a start) have none whatsoever. I'm on the Turkish rom (patched up) and have never rooted this phone.
[General Questions and Answers] lxda:
Never rooted this might be the reason.. haha. Xposed in particular introduces a lot of lag and it's just the challenge of removing this added lag
[General Questions and Answers] movitum:
phone lags 100% stock too some people just choose not to notice it :) just use a better phone for a while and then come back to stock su6 and tell me it doesnt lag lol...

i never noticed any difference in lag from stock to root+xposed (with build.prop tweak to avoid that crazy lag), must be a real small difference if it really exists
[General Questions and Answers] BlueMoonRising:
I don't notice it because it's not there bud, not on mine anyway. As I said, some people have different experiences on it for some reason.
[General Questions and Answers] lxda:
I thought when people say lag they mean an unintentional stuttering or delay of some UI feature. What you described just sounds like you're expecting your budget phone to perform as well as a flagship which has better specs. Also, I can confirm that I had no "lag" on stock.

Can't data roam abroad - help!

I've not long had my Smart Ultra 6 and I love it. However, I am on holiday at the moment abroad in Portugal and can't use data for some reason. I am from UK and my phone is stock, unlocked and on O2 network. I have the O2 Travel enabled so it should just work. I have obviously turned on data roaming in the phones settings. Is there something I'm missing? I don't get any data notification at the top (like 3G 4G H+ etc)

I can make calls as my phone is successfully roaming for voice.

It worked fine on my old HTC M8 using the same sim so I know it's nothing to do with O2.

Any help greatly appreciated.
[General Questions and Answers] BlueMoonRising:
The only thing I can see from the O2 FAQ's that jumps out is:-

'Accidental roaming and how to prevent it

Accidental roaming might occur if you're in an area close to national borders and your phone picks up the network across the border. If this happens, you may be charged as though you were roaming in the country across the border.

You can prevent this by setting your handset to do a manual network selection as opposed to an automatic network selection and select the O2 network. This way if you lose the O2 network, your handset won't try to connect you to a different network.'

http://www.o2.co.uk/help/pay-and-go/using-your-phone-abroad

Have you got it on automatic network selection?
[General Questions and Answers] BritishBeefUK:
I did originally have it on auto but I've manually tried the only 3 networks available to me. They are all Portuguese and still don't work.

---------- Post added at 11:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:43 AM ----------

Got it working! After reading advice on the O2 forum I reset the APN settings to default and now it works. I hadn't changed them so not sure what had happened.

Thanks for helping BMR.

I've been enjoying this ROM for 48 hours. Not sure if I should install Xposed, but I'll try it anyaway.
[General Questions and Answers] negentropy:
Sorry were you asking me? If so, no i don't think so - i certainly haven't partitioned it anyway.

The problem, it turns out, is still there, but intermittent - sometimes it boots, other times it gets stuck on that progress indicator. I'm just playing around with it now trying to see what's what - unrooted again, running Malwarebytes which detects a Kingroot component as malicious... still only halfway through the scan so i'll let it finish, see if the problem still occurs and update here as appropriate.
[General Questions and Answers] Nagasaky2x:
Whoops, I suppose my question was in the middle of something. I was just asking if the memory was partitioned as I'm acquiring this phone soon, and I can't find anyone talking about how the internal memory is partitioned.
[General Questions and Answers] negentropy:
Oops sorry, i honestly wouldn't know. Seems contiguous to me but i'm a complete Android virgin here...
[General Questions and Answers] negentropy:
OK after running Malwarebytes and Avast! (i think the Kingroot detection was probably a false positive) i still have the intermittent boot problem, so can only assume Kingroot has left some permanent modification that's causing the issue.

Not gonna bother with a factory reset unless future updates from Vodafone fail... hopefully the 5.1 patch will iron out the problem whenever they finally release it. But something to be aware of if you're considering using Kingroot - FWIW the app does say this phone isn't explicitly supported; it uses a general exploit instead..

The only other problem i have is constant interuptions from the Voice Search app whenever i'm listening to music. It's been doing this since i bought it. I have the phone amped up to a car hifi, and whenever i turn the volume up Voice Search randomly activates - it turns the music volume down to zero, plays its 'bing bong' noise and says "Sorry i didn't catch that?". I then have to pull over to exit Voice Search, put the music back on and turn the volume back up. 10 minutes later it'll do it again. Utterly infuriating!

Things i've tried:

- soldered up a 4-pole headphone plug, leaving the mic terminal disconnected, but the phone just listens through the built-in mic instead

- disabled the "OK Google!" setting in Google Settings

- disabled every related function i could find, and blocked all notifications for all available apps

- used Nova Launcher to remove the Search Bar from the Homescreen

None of this has helped at all. There's no option to uninstall or disable Voice Search (or Google Now, the app i suspect it's launching from) so i'm out of ideas...

How can i disable Voice Search or prevent it from launching?

For root, just install a fresh stock ROM then Run MobileGO by Wondershare. He installs SuperSU and works 100%.

Don't use malware or avast on phone.. Just be careful and you don't get virus.

Neither Rootking or Mobilego works on my SU6 for one reason or another. Fews others have the same issue.

Hi everybody, Im new here!

I've read this topic all the way from the beggining. I just came to say that Vodafone Tech Portugal contacted me and they referred that they do not have plans to release a 5.1 to Smart Ultra 6. They say it's not impossible, but they do not have plans to release it.

Sad news
[General Questions and Answers] RevengeFNF:
I think Vodafone never made major versions updates to their smartphones. So i think its expected.

But this one, have everything to be the most successful Vodafone phone, so we might see updates from the community.

We have root, custom recovery, source kernel and source rom. So it's just a question of time if someone is interested.

[General Questions and Answers] LiNe1771:
I hope we get custom rom like 5.1 or maybe (who knows) 6.. 5.0.2 is horrible.. And makes this awesome phone a bit slower.. But is faster anyway, super fluid, no lags, breaks, nothing. But maybe could be better with 5.1 or 6.
