[Elephone P8000] Brewn:
Regarding WiFi: It's been the same on all stock ROMs so far. The wifi connection is stable, but there is just no data throughput after a certain time. Switching wifi off/on solves the issue for a while. This leads me to the conclusion that the hardware is working properly and something hangs in the driver module or the IP stack. Could be that different P8000s use different wifi chips though... this would explain why it's working for some and not working for others. Anyways, it's extremely annoying.

So the fingerprint option is related to the kernel - OK, I will simply wait for the next version and hope the option will return. ;)

Hey there...

i try to flash eragon 5.5 via philz recovery... now my p8000 is about 10 minutes stuck in recovery .

screen says: installing update... eragon rom

"guts" in the little android still do move... but very very slow.

is this normal?

how long does it take for the rom to install?

kids phone

unfortunately p8000 is not a device I can trust, with all its software problems and missing essential features like full phone encryption

all the future owners of this crappy phone must know, that it does not suit for serious work, it lags, heats, crashes, and you even can not keep your sensitive data safe. Elephone sux a lot, I (my wife) have also p7000, which is even more crappy - it needs 4-5 hours to full charge the battery, encryption does not work here either, but my wife does not need it anyway...

ELEphone is a closed page for me, it does not worth all the headaches and lost time, it just does not do the job right! This devices are only suitable for kids playing games, but not for work! Typical Chinese crap

my little 8 years old niece will be happy about elephone p8000, but not me, for me this phone is a shiny brick on my desk...

This has nothing to do with Eragon Rom.

I've had none of your problems with the phone, only Bluetooth stability/quality is worse.
[Elephone P8000] rbt07:
Skeleton1911,

can you please exactly write me, what tweaks did you make to reduce battery consumption? I tried Eragon ROM, thank you for your work, but by graphically and by content I prefer the original ROM. I would like to extend battery life in the original ROM. I use latest version 20151014 + Gravity Box, before that 20150909. In my use of the phone I have not find any mistake, for me all works well, but I would like to extend battery life. Now my battery lasts maximum two days, it could be better, I think.

Or can you please make a little patch (Install ZIP for CWM Recovery) for the original ROM to extend battery life?

Many thanks
[Elephone P8000] themitaka:
yes Eragon is the best that can happen to Elephone p8000

I just wanted to share my desperation, but this is nothing against Eragon
[Elephone P8000] Damoedge:
You are entitled to your opinion....

Here is mine...it's one of the best phones I ever had...and I have had all the top brands! ...and with the hard work that Skeleton does for this phone it only makes it better...

All the problems you mention...I have none of them...I think it's a hardy phone with the amount of testing I've done on it in the past few weeks and it's only getting better....to be honest I think you just got a bad phone in which case you should have sent it back...

Slan...

[Elephone P8000] -Tiz-:
Except for the missing encryption, I have none of the issues you mentioned. The phone never crashed and does not become hot. Battery lasts forever. In any case, the P8000 has successfully replaced my Nexus 5 (which few people would consider a bad phone).

As regards device encryption, I am hopeful that a kind developer will help us out. I agree that this is a serious shortcoming of the Elephone stock ROM. (I am not sure whether they did it intentionally. Maybe encryption is prohibited in China?)

We should also keep in mind that the P8000 is a rather new phone. Many new phones (even the most expensive ones) are plagued by issues and it takes some time to resolve them. What would have happened if you had bought an overheating Snapdragon 810 phone, or a Galaxy S6 Edge that faces 11 serious security flaws BECAUSE of the pre-installed Samsung apps, or an issue-plagued iphone 6?
[Elephone P8000] themitaka:
I can say you are right, I was just heavily frustrated when I wrote this, but in fact there is some truth in it...

encryption is prohibited in China, but this phone is also sold in Europe (maybe not official retailers though), I am ready to help to enable it, unfortunately I have no deep knowledge of Android, earlier in this thread I reported a successful unlock of the menu "Encryption" under "Security", with the help of Skeleton of course :)

it seems that for p7000 some guys have found a way...

[Elephone P8000] Damoedge:
Patience my friend... if you build it they will come....the phone is new it will come :)
[Elephone P8000] CodeParadise:
Really? I have used devices across the board and I can tell you that the P8000 is the best device I have had to date. For me, it doesn't lag or crash. The only time it heats up is when it finishes optimizing apps after a dalvik wipe which is expected probably because it is running full on all cores but after I get to the desktop, it cools. My Samsung Galaxy S4 kept heating even during normal operation, unlike this phone.

Battery lasts longer than any other phone I have ever owned so I can depend on this phone to keep me online for work related issues for longer. Yes, no encryption but I hope it will be enabled in the upcoming Marshmallow 6. All the same, this phone works so well that I am using it as my main device over supposedly better brand devices I own.

[Elephone P8000] royjonesjr:
Hi , do i need root to install this custom rom. I dont found a instuction
[Elephone P8000] jknarf:
You need a custom recovery, like Phillz Touch recovery, that you can install with SPFlash tool.

After this you can flash the ROM. And don't forget to full wipe your phone before.

And also do a backup, its better to be safe than sorry.;)

I tried CWM and PhiZ. But with both backups are not complete. If I try to flash a backup of a stock firmware the Eragon boot animation is still shown during startup and the build version in system menu is Eragon instead of the stock one. How can I do complete backups?
[Elephone P8000] CodeParadise:
Great. Anyway, I managed to free some space in internal storage. I had made a Nandroid backup with PhilZ recovery to internal storage but I couldn't find it with file managers. Fortunately, I was able to delete it with PhilZ recovery after I rebooted into recovery. Free internal storage space is 7.5GB up from 3GB so I'm not pressed to have App2sd.

---------- Post added at 11:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:55 AM ----------

Are you flashing with SP Flash tool or are you restoring a backup you made with CWM/PhilZ? If it is the latter, were you restoring a stock ROM backup made by CWM/PhilZ over a resident Eragon ROM? Did you try a full wipe before that? If flashing stock ROM with SP flash tool, did you have all necessary files loaded?
[Elephone P8000] thku:
I tried to restore with CWM/PhilZ a backup of stock firmware over a resident Eragon ROM. I didn't do a full wipe before that. Flashing with SP flash tool is no problem. But i tried to recover exactly the status before the backup. I will try to do a full wipe but it could occur that the phone will not start if some parts are not contained in the backup.

Recovery of CWM backup of stock FW with full wipe: Still Eragon boot and build number in system

Recovery of PhilZ backup of stock FW with full wipe: Still Eragon boot and build number in system

Differences between CWM und PhilZ backup are that PhilZ contain boot.img and recovery.img. PhilZ backup can't write to external SD card. Its space is wrongly detected.

Possible recovery strategy:

1. Flash the original FW

2. Restore the backup

1 + 2 must fit each other
[Elephone P8000] xzyk:
The first Philz didn't detect external sdcard (storage/sdcard1) but v2 does. All my philz nandroid backups go to my external sdcard and restore from there works also. I have had rare times where Philz v2 didn't properly mount sdcard1 but usually a reboot to recovery from within recovery itself fixes it.
[Elephone P8000] thku:
I also use PhilZ v2 from here: http://xdaforums.com/elephone-p8000/development/recovery-philz-touch-6-59-0-port-p8000-t3224478

Nevertheless backup to sdcard1 is not possible. Its size is wrongly detected during backup. Recovery from sdcard1 works.

What is the size of your sdcard? I am using 64GB.
[Elephone P8000] alfredxyz:
sure it works!

1. Boot to recovery

2. Go to Backup and restore

3. Go to misc nandroid settings

4. Go to ors backup path and change to sdcard1

5. Go to power options and select reboot recovery now it should work!
[Elephone P8000] thku:
PhilZ can't use external SD card because its space is wrongly detected with just about 1.5 GB even more than 40 GB are free. Changing the default backup path to sdcard1 didn't help.
[Elephone P8000] kivulallo:
it was my problem too. but i found a solution and it worked for me.

boot into recovery.

very first go to mounts and storage

mount sdcard1 manually

then go to backup and restore and try to backup to sdcard1

this solved me the wrong size detection because the backup system mounts the sdcard1 somewhere else to the internal
[Elephone P8000] alfredxyz:
I have 3 different backups at my external sd card each is about 2.5 gb!

Did you try to reflash philz recovery?

It must work for you too

I use a sandisk 32GB extreme pro. I went for speed rather than capacity and mine is detected fine.
[Elephone P8000] thku:
Yes, this works. Thank you.
[Elephone P8000] RoterHugo:
That's my way: Boot into recovery. Go to install zip from sdcard1. If you see the folder of sdcard1 go back to the start menu of philz and go to backup to sdcard1. This works for me. At the very first check if you have set the backup path to sdcard1 under backup nandroid misc.

[MENTION=5895776]skellet[/MENTION]on1911, since using 5.6 I no longer get quick settings on the lock screen. This used to happen in stock 0909 rom too.

To repeat:

- set up fingerprint lock screen

- lock phone

- press power button to wake screen

- slide 1 or 2 fingers down from the top of the lock screen

What happens is that everything on the screen slides down to make room for the quick settings panel, but the space at the top of the screen is blank.

It was working in Eragon 3.0 - 4.0. I have been away for a frew weeks, so missed 4.5-5.5, so not sure if it worked on them.

It is worth noting I am using visionary kernel 1.4(.1). Not sure if that would make a difference.

Hopefully something you can fix?

Thanks as always.
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
Its no bug. Cant fix . Its a feature for security that you can not slide done the qs /status bar in lockscreen..

Its the same in the stock Rom.

I could use the old systemui . then it would work again. But then we don't have the extra data mobile qs etc and it would be an older ui version..

I don't know how this thing is working, but if it really patching the apks, then you should try to dirty flash the ROM, to fix your problem.

What is the advance from Lucky Patcher versus Xposed framework?

Modification you do with Xposed are not permanent and Xposed Apps like Grafity Box and Minminguard doing a great job and they are, biggest advance, reversable.

Yes, it's ... This function does not patch any app. So I think it is kind of system setting. It can only be done once for all apps and afterwards this option is not available anymore. I don't know what this option really does. I can only recover it by wiping the data partition.

Hi Skeleton1911

Really appreciate your work on this ROM, its wonderful and really releases the potential of this phone.

Just flashed 5.8 and it seemed like a snappy ROM, but it stopped the fingerprint scanner from working on screen unlock.

The location button in the swipe-down settings refused to turn off.

It was a dirty flash but I did make sure I cleared cache and dalvik beforehand. Also rebooted a few times but still fingerprint didn't work.

Works great in 5.6 though

Matt
[Elephone P8000] CodeParadise:
Scenario one did heat the phone (I had flash on for the entire period) but the heating wasn't much different from after the phone optimizes apps after a dalvik cache wipe. In all fairness though, taking a video full HD for 10 min will heat the phone. It's not unique to Elephone P8000 and a Google Search will confirm that.

I haven't tried scenario two yet (streaming). Scenario three (charging) warms the phone. No red flags there. For scenario four, I have both stock camera and gallery and Google camera. No heating whatsoever while taking pictures or using the gallery app.

Hi skeleton1911,

As the other one mention, in 5.8 the location button not work, but location will activate if you using an app that needs location like 'GPS test' and Ingress.
