Yes, but the thing is that if this rom is not compatible with the LeTV MAX, i don't want to kill my phone !!

Anyway, i'm flashing it right now, i will see what's happening...

---------- Post added at 01:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:28 PM ----------

So here's my feedback :

The rom multilingual is base on 0003S (Stable), there's french language and many more but not everything is translate...

Besides, it's not possible to update as they removed the update setting from LeTV... So it's useless at the moment...

Eventually, it will be good to know how to backup the "multilingual setting" but it's beyon my knowledge, so i'm gonna stick with the english rom for the moment and go back to the 23E version firmware....
[Android General] wetgepard:
I had the same rom after receiving my phone from china. It is based on 003S and is update-less. But it contains a modified launcher, that perfectly works now with 005S and a multilanguage settings app.

About hidden settings - i have installed a "Quick Shortcut Maker" app from playmarket. With it i can create shortcuts to any advanced settings, including a "priority interruptions" page, on which i can set a night mode with calls/messages/notifications filtering.
[Android General] gregou:
The only one thing i would like to know, is how Honorbuy succeed to put multilingual in this rom ? As i doubt that it's LeTV Company themself.... Is it something to modify on the system ? like a file (Build.prop for example) or something to unblocked all languages ?

If someone knows how to do it, not sure that it's very complicated though...
[Android General] Yaka2manD:
Maybe (maybe) this could help: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2488588
[Android General] gregou:
Thanks, i will take a look at it and try but i'm a noob in apk decompilation :-/

I'll let you know :)
[Android General] wetgepard:
This modified rom creation was sponsored by the sellers from aliexpress. I dont know, what amount of money was spent to this project... And will someone repeat all of this work to update this to a newer version.

You can extract a settings app from this modified multilang 003S and put it into 005S if needed. Then install morelocale and choose your language, after this the settings menu will be in your selected language.

Many other apps in this modified ROM have ONLY english and chinese language, so that rom is not completely multilanguage.

To manually translate all apps in the rom using apk recompiling, you need to spend very very long time. Every string message in every app needs to be manually translated to many languages and replaced. This is very hard work!
[Android General] how_1:
I reported the Nova Launcher problem before. It definitely crashes when you launch Nova Settings in 005S ROM.
[Android General] gpx:
Hi wetgepard,

Can you post extracted multilaquage settings app from modified 003S and let us know exactly which file to replace in the system using root explorer?

Thanks

---------- Post added at 05:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:53 AM ----------

You can install apex launcher. It's working perfectly as a permanent launcher so with it no need to install any modified launcher . You can also hide all Chinese apps from the settings.

New stable 006S firmware available.
[Android General] gregou:
What's new in this update ?

They also just release the 24E experience firmware, the update is only 34,4mo so we don't need to expect much from this firmware...

I think i'm gonna try the stable 006S version as it's seems there's a lot of new stuffs...
[Android General] wetgepard:
I see, that in OTA app this 006S update is only 121Mb - it is not a full reflash. But it cant be applied automatically using TWRP. So we can download this via OTA app, then manually flash using TWRP, it that is possible. Do this will let us to have untouched supersu, google and other modifications from the old rom.
[Android General] gregou:
I just tried to do that and it didn't work.... TWRP told me that there's an error...

So i'm guessing we have to flash the entire download, but if we don't wipe before flashing, all the apps should stay, but maybe we loose root and TWRP.... I'm gonna try anyway...
[Android General] wetgepard:
We can try to flash this using stock recovery and after flashing return back to TWRP. Or manually to boot stock recovery image using fastboot and update from it.
[Android General] gentillo:
Still 5.0.2:(
[Android General] tbatliner:
Stable vs. Experimental

Hi!

I assume that every change/fix in the stable is also in the experimental? And of course in the weekly releases there is more "stuff" added?
[Android General] wetgepard:
This error in flashing update seems to be from incorrect build fingerprint. I try to change it.
[Android General] mikejasonsmith:
Do I need to unroot to download the update as I've just tried to install and it boots to twrp then says failed to update?
[Android General] gregou:
So i made the update for the experimental version, here it is how to do it and keeping root/TWRP and all the GAPPS :

- Download the last firmware version

- Put it on your SD Card

- Reboot into recovery (make no wipes !!) Then flash it !

- Reboot and here you go, your rom updated and all your apps/Gapps should be still here !

It worked for me ;)
[Android General] matsamas:

I had that link. But on me it still says 005S and 22E - 23E.

There is nowhere 24E and 006S
[Android General] gregou:
That's weird... :-/

Here is the direct link to download :

Firmware 24E : http://g3.letv.cn/151/15/92/letv-hd...1E-5.0.024E.zip?b=123456&platid=5&splatid=500

Tell me if it's working :)
[Android General] matsamas:
My point of view about this phone is:

Beautiful, bazzeless is a must from now on. Excelently and rock solid build.

Amazing camera, both rear and front.

A silent beast. It runs a powerfull processor capable of outperforming any app/game for years. Can multitask flawlessly demanding apps. Lag free.

But: there is lack of Android development. With any other basic android lollipop rom(without all this Chinese bloatware apps) it would be at least x2 faster.

So its rom is slowing it down.

About battery everyone else is satisfied. I am not. I tried lot of clean rom re flash and nothing fixed my problem. My battery with wifi on always can't make it 24hours. Probably my max is 18 hours. Another good thing is that it might such but it charges from below 20‰ to 100% in less than 2 hours. That's pretty cool.

I am not gonna change this phone for long time. Definitely worth but I can't say I 100% reccomend it to others.

---------- Post added at 08:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:06 PM ----------

Anyone got a link to a working Google installer? Looks like the firmware upgrade has broken root and Google play no longer works...will have to reset I think..
[Android General] gregou:
I explained how to update the firmware without loosing root and recovery (TWRP) few posts earlier...

As for the feedback about the phone, the only one thing missing for me is a custom rom ! I really hope that someone will try to cook a rom for this amazing phone !

Is it possible to ask Cyanogen team if they planned to make a rom for this phone ?

LeTV Company is going to sell their phones at the end of the year in the USA, so maybe there will be some devs starting to work on custom roms... I think they sold this phone pretty well so far in China, but also in others countries...

I'm sure that a custom rom will be make soon enough ! ;)

And by the way, firmwares are still on android 5.0.2, so maybe people are waiting from LeTV to update to android 5.1 or even andoird 6.0 before to start custom roms...

Which Chinese applications can be safely removed?
[Android General] gregou:
I removed lot of chineses apps and everything is still working great :

- SuperLive

- LeTV Weather

- LeTV Account (all the LeTV account apps, there's three but i forgot their exact names)

- LeTV Shop

- LeTV Store

- BaiduInput

- SogouInput

- Browser

And others apps but i don"t remember the exact name :-/

I tried to find but I couldn't. I have no idea how to make it work. Maybe in China is something common,or something they product.
[Android General] gregou:
How can you think that to make almost 63000 in Antutu Benchmark is "disappointing" ??

It's really enough to get all apps and stuffs working without any lag !!

This "who's-best-benchmark-score" race is stupid as people wants always more power but it's useless at a point...

[Android General] matsamas:
Is commonly adopted that scores make us feel nice. :) we all love those numbers! Admit it! Yea of course they are useless! I was completely satisfied with my mi4 scoring 35k in balanced mode. Could reach 45+k in performance mode but I never, ever enable it. It's just a number for some people but it also show an optimization improvement of system./ram etc. So you get an idea how things evale. Mi note pro scored 53k on miui v6 and then it scored 64k on miui v7 while both roms are android 4.4.4.

You misunderstood my intentions.
[Android General] mikejasonsmith:
Got mine working again - thanks to everyone for all your help.

Can you tell me how to remove all the Chinese apps???

Thanks.

I have a strange situation related to twrp. After installing twrp it is available. But after a reset twrp disappears. If I want to once again enter into twrp I have to reflash again.
[Android General] wetgepard:
gentillo

After installing TWRP, without rebooting to the system - mount /system in TWRP, use TWRP file manager, navigate to /system/bin, find the file "install-recovery.sh" and rename it. Reboot. This file contains a script to check and update recovery during system boot.
[Android General] matsamas:
Hi. I used rom toolbox. Perfect app, I found all Chinese processes and apps and I froze them. That mean they are completely inactive. There are a few other options worth giving a try. I now have a lighter device,easiest multitasking. Available ram increased to 2.7gbs. So far so good.

[Android General] DarkSki:
I received my Letv max 3 days ago and it is a great experience.

Perfect for the gamer on the go and is really a great all around device.

It's good to see they will be selling it direct so everyone can buy it.

Battery life is great and I'm loving the adjustable color profiles and amazingly clear audio. I am a heavy user and I can get about 5 hours of constant screen on time while gaming. The note 4 only got about 2/3rds of that running the same game.

I find myself downloading games that I have already beaten just to experience them on this bright detailed screen.

It's like having a colourful magazine you can put in your pocket.

Pictures bring out some amazing details in low light or in direct sun and can take hundreds without any noticeable delay.

The only negative points I have is about the default launcher which you can simply replace and fully integrate in the settings.

I was worried about the Snapdragon 810 chipset but there is no throttling even after an hour of gameplay with the most demanding games.

For a time I was going to buy the Note 5 and I am really glad I didn't.

My next phone is also going to be an Letv device if they keep this up.
[Android General] matsamas:
Comparing your experience with mine, yes the camera is awesome. The bezelless screen is awesome too and very outstanding. Gaming flawlessly is also a great thing so is heavy multitasking. Zero over heating. No matter what the device is not throttling or overheating.

But I can argue on battery life, mine sucks, I will post a screen below. Can't make it a day even after calibration.

Also every system program show my cpu at 1.5ghz and not 2 GHz at max frequency. That's bothers my a lot since my antutu scores averages at 60k,max 62.5k while others hit 64.5k....can you compare the above info?
[Android General] DarkSki:
Battery life was not great for me until I upgraded to the 24E software upgrade.

Also a helpful hint be sure to use the internal email app instead of gmail/outlook as there is currently an issue with constant download of mail which eats through battery like crazy. I had to delete both outlook and gmail before this stopped ( the internal mail app is actually very nice)

Don't worry about the 1.5 Ghz reading this will happen when the device has switched to its small cores which max at 1.56Ghz or something like that.

Let me know if any of this helps
[Android General] matsamas:
Sounds like tomorrow morning I will be into 24E since is the only thing i never tried.

I will definitely give it a try... Kind of boring to re download all stuff but I guess that's fine if battery life improve. I love the device. There is lack of Android development but stock launcher etc is fine for me since I can delete all Chinese apps and free up some more ram and space.

In 2 days my session work finish and I will have free afternoon everyday, I am going to tweak the media profile xml to increase photo and video bit rate so we can capture a much more detailed photos/videos.

I will upload it for everyone.
[Android General] gstar854:
After installing 06S i lost root. I tried re-flashing root but still not rooted. I also flashed TWRP again (which was not deleted but it was worth a try) and the re-rooted but still no root access.

Has someone a different root to flash rather then "BETA-SuperSU-v2.49.zip"?
[Android General] matsamas:
I had a similar problem. If you have a working Twrp the boot into it, wipe cache, Dalvik cache and then flash supersu zip. After flash do no wipes. Just reboot. That way worked for me.

Speakers

Is only one speaker functional ? I note that music is only coming out of the right speaker....
[Android General] wetgepard:
There is no stereo speakers :( One set of openings is a speaker, another one - the microphone.

To all, who want to have a full multilanguage support on this device.

First - there is a modified launcher and settings app, extracted from the old aliexpress-modified ROM 003S. And no more.

Second - using Morelocale app, modifying configuration settings directly via root explorer or via adb commands will add desired language ONLY to these apps, that ALREADY have an ML resources inside of the app. The built-in apps have ONLY english and chinese resources and there is NO WAY to get it in multilanguage, except of manually open it .apk file and load the XML files with translated messages and icons.

Old ROM 003S have ONLY the launcher and settings apps translated, all other preinstalled apps and deep settings menus is only in english or chinese.

But if the system language was changed in anyway, after installing a third-party app from market and it contains the selected language support - it automatically appears in right language. Most apps from market supporting this. All google services also is multilanguage.
[Android General] DarkSki:
Check Fastcardtech.com its listed as $469 for the 32Gb version and is the absolute cheapest reseller
[Android General] :
Thank you wetgepard. The music coming out of this speaker sounds truly awful. I've used the native player and also poweramp which sounds great on my Samsung phone. I've tried all the settings in the Equalizer but nothing makes it sound any better... :rolleyes:

I tried to get this thing to record 1080P@60fps but it only records @30fps. When i edit media_profiles.xml to 60fps the camera crashes or does not record.

This is very disappointing. :(
[Android General] wetgepard:
This speaker is not intended for music listening. It is only for call ringtone and, usual, for watching movies during travel.

To get excellent music quality you should use a good quality headphones or external HiFi amplifier with appropriate acoustic system speakers.

I never use any equalizers in my sound equipment. It should sounds best without it, with absolutely flat FRC. If not - some components of audio tract is connected incorrectly or is incompatible with the other equipment in audio system.

And the music content itself may be a poor quality, when listening such content on a high quality audio system, it "amplifies" its poor quality, so the resulting sound can be so poor as hell.
[Android General] :
So many folks on the net were talking about the great audio on this device......guess they were all listening thru their headphones...... :eek:

Not expecting hi-fidelity, but the speaker quality is definitely below that of other current premium smartphones.
[Android General] wetgepard:
Try to get music from PC speaker(which located inside of the system case) on your computer. Its quality is comparable to ringtone speaker in the phone. All people, talking about audio in any smartphone, mostly mean the using of headphones or external amplifier/speaker.
