Well, to be fair, they also said, the Phone has OTG, didn't they? :D

Maybe their support team has some information discrepancies when it comes to technical details. Just like Amazon support, they will provide you with good information in many cases, but in most cases they will just tell you, what you wan't to hear, even if they don't know all the technical details.
[Elephone P8000] nikunj87:
Guys, slightly off-topic. Has anyone tried google cardboard with P8000? I am not sure it will work due to missing sensors but just wanted to confirm that. My kids saw it at my friend's place the other day and I was wondering if this will work?
[Elephone P8000] Autobahn91:
To be honest I haven't heard about OTG support at all so I don't know :D Maybe it's because I don't need/use it ^^

But you're right, if they stated something and the final version has not the announced features it's their fault.

DAMN YOU, ELEPHONE! :D

---------- Post added at 13:32 ---------- Previous post was at 13:29 ----------

Yes I tried it out. It wasn't working for me at all because I had the feeling the display is too huge for the cardboard. So you can't see the whole picture and moving around with your head - the picture did not move at all (only with with your fingers sliding on the screen to move around the picture) although I first use the cardboard app. Maybe it's because of a promotion cardboard from VW but they "work" all the same so I don't relly think it's because of 3rd party cardboard.
[Elephone P8000] Tycorc:
I tried didn't work. Seems like the g Sensor isn't recognized. You can see the 3d but u can't look around.
[Elephone P8000] Stefan Gündhör:
[MENTION=7197307]Autobahn91[/MENTION] I still think Elephone is on the right path. There are a few hickups of course, but nothing terrible that cannot be ignored or fixed in the future, in my opinion. They still deliver great value for low price. :good:

And, most importantly: in my opinion they are doing much better than LG, when they first entered the Android market :D

LG's Stock Android Gingerbread was nearly unusable (on the first dual core phone) - and they didn't even have to code for a fairly new platform like Mediatek!
[Elephone P8000] Autobahn91:
[MENTION=4311614]Stefan Gündhör[/MENTION] Totally agree! Looking forward to the P9000 (Edge/Light) and Vowney. Maybe I#ll get myself another one in the future when it's available in the EU without shipping from China :D

I might miss the essential but how to use Apps2sd ? Because i didn't find it anywhere on my phone and when i tried to install this app, well it doesn't recognize the phone and telling me is not compatible with v8.0.

What did i miss ?! I'd like to use my 32 GB SDcard =)
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
? in download section on first post , under -ROM- is the download link to app2sd.

flash it via recovery.

after reboot you can swap over data/apps to sdcard...(its in settings/apps)

[Elephone P8000] Stefan Gündhör:
Would like a Vowney too :good:

But I will skip this one, in favor of the P8000 which I want to use for at least one year.

I guess in early 2017 I will buy the next Elephone flagship, but this might already be the successor of the P9000 or the Vowney.

Hi I replied check inbox..
[Elephone P8000] scaltro:
Is there anyone else out there with issues with wifi?

I'm running v.8.0 on two different phones and they both have the same issue since 7.2

Basically the wifi connects normally, but sometimes even if there is signal on the phone it doesn't have internet connectivity.

On one phone switching off and on the wifi fixes the issue.

On the second phone the only way to get connectivity back is to reboot the phone...

Very strange, I'm wondering if there is anyone else out there with this issue?
[Elephone P8000] charliepie:
The WiFi issue has been much discussed but it is strange that you have to reboot one of your phones to reconnect... There is a separate thread for WiFi problems so it would probably be better to use that though I'm not sure there is going to be a simple solution to this issue.
[Elephone P8000] MikeJT:
Interesting that you mention that. I've experienced the same thing today, though only once or twice. There doesn't seem to be any pattern to it and I'd dismissed it.
[Elephone P8000] andreaspilo:
...perfect job Skeleton! but if i want disable the notification sound when i open or close the phone?
[Elephone P8000] PegHorse:
Actually yes, it happened on my phone.

For some reasons, when i turned on the WIFI, it was connected but no internet connectivity and the icon "top right" wasn't enabled while i could see it was under the profil, on the shortcuts.

I had to reboot the phone to make it work again.
[Elephone P8000] Rizera:
I have had numerous issues with WiFi with this phone, not only on Eragon 8.0 but also on many older Eragon versions without a proper logic that I could understand. Can't remember if I used to have these with stock, but when that happens, I just turn WiFi off and on again and it works. Not a big hassle to me.
[Elephone P8000] Gerrit507:
So finally I gave it another try...

First I had the stock rom from 2015/12/03 with supersu installed

went into cwm

wiped cache/dalvik/system/data manually

installed the rom from internal storage

same old story, won't boot up even after 15 minutes of waiting

flashed stock rom from 2015/11/05 via sp flashtool

booted it, copied eragon rom into internal storage

went into cwm

wiped cache/dalvik/system/data manually

installed the rom from internal storage

and FINALLY it booted

So long story short, for some reason your rom can't be installed over the latest stock rom...

edit: Well there is a new problem, google play won't let me install any apps or updates. I get an error message everytime. It says: "Fehler beim Abrufen von Information vom Server."

edit2: Fixed by reinstalling google play services from here http://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/app-google-play-services-t2795911

You should check that. What I do not like is that the rom does not have stock Browser and File Explorer :( But that's easy to fix...
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
Will checked it. Thx.

BTW stock browser and file explorer are crap. That's why I use.mixplorer etc..

I don't know if it helps,but I've successfully flashed eragon from the December stock rom with SuperSU an twrp (not cwm) recovery....

As for the battery percentage , still I cannot go up to 100, I've tried everything to calibrate battery, changed charger with a better quality one, but no luck. I'll try to come back to stock and see what happens.
[Elephone P8000] kivulallo:
try deleting the batterystats.bin in /data/system. then drain it to zero

(when it shut down for low battery, turn it back on. it will shut down again. then press power +vol.up. it will load the preloader menu. let the lcd drain the battery until it "dies")

then charge it to full without turning it on!

note: after plugging in, the phone wont react to charge for a few minutes because of the very low battery level. dont panic :D

maybe this will help i dont know...
[Elephone P8000] Autobahn91:
That's exactly what the mentioned calibration program is doing (deleting batterystats.bin).

I am curious if CPU-Z at least shows 100% -maybe it differs from the actual battery symbol?
[Elephone P8000] aaron.hossain75:
HI Did you get my message ? :) , and I'm having a problem with the OS now I think its a bug or something nothing to freak out but when it has under 15% of charge it shuts down automatically lol I have no idea why is that ?
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
That's no bug from my rom. It's an source bug of elephone.. It's there since the the beginning. .

i don't know because i don't have such problem. but i often recalibrate manually. i don't use apps for it... who knows what it does and if it really deletes the .bin :D
[Elephone P8000] Autobahn91:
A random question: If Elephone provides Android 6 will there be an update within Eragon to use Android 6 with skeleton's and Stefan's (and everyone who is involved) tweaks? :) That would be pretty neat. I am waiting a long time now and hopefully I don't have to go back to stock rom because I like this one here the most!
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
If there will be android 6.

OF COURSE I WILL DEVELOPE MY ROM!!

I've used push notification tester and it goes thru the first three steps ok but the last step which is connection to server fails...

Any ideas?
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:

Wipe cache and dalvik.

And check if it is WiFi related or not.

I don't know if this is kernel or ROM but when I press power button to turn off screen I try to press it again to turn on screen it won't work sometimes I have to hold vol up and power to restart phone and sometime it turns on screen why is this
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
i dont think its rom related. i never had it or anybody.

but try this:

in settings/kernel tools . disable dt2w, pocket mod and dynamic sync..

then reboot
[Elephone P8000] mn31pro:
i installed this rom. but it is laggy in some light game like crossy road. and antutu benchmark is same to stock rom.
[Elephone P8000] Gerrit507:
I tested the rom now for some hours and I can say that it's way better than stock rom. 4G and wifi speed has very much improved. Battery life has improved and also performance seems to be a little bit better. The camera is a lot better, in stock rom it focuses so slowly.
[Elephone P8000] kivulallo:
skeleton, or Stefan!

My brother bought a Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 and miui has a feature that if you swipe through the touch buttons from the middle to left or right, the screen content is resized to preset size (e.x. 4") and it goes to bottom left or right corner, so you can reach the whole screen with your thumb if needed.

It's weird writing it down but if you want i can make screenshots or video.

Is it possible to port that feature to Eragon? Maybe it can be a kernel thing because of the buttons i don't know, but i can help you sending files if you need.
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
Thank you.

Its kernel related, because the buttons are involved. But i dont think it can be done.

I know very well that folks says that battery calibration is supposed to be a placebo effect. I never, never had to calibrate none of my tons of Android ,especially nexus ones, after rom flashing sometimes twice a day. But this time, I had a strange 93% limit of battery charging and I've tried everything with no success till the discovery of the (old) Die-Hard Battery Calibrator created by zeppelinrox.

No app or strange technics, just a script.

Now i'm happy again with my 100% of charge on this weird p8000, with your very very nice eragon.
[Elephone P8000] ShootistUK:
Eragon V8.0 makes the P8000 perform like the phone it was supposed to be on release. Always loved my 2 x P8000 but it is much better now than on release. Without doubt the best phone I have owned and at a cost of £110 a real bargain in my eyes. I steadfastly refuse to buy a phone without micro sd storage nor £500/600 for the latest model. Thanks again for the updating of the rom and thx to the kernel guy also :)
[Elephone P8000] MikeJT:
Well said!

Huge thanks to Skeleton for the Rom and Stefan for the kernel.

It can be that your battery is faulty and needs to be replaced. It can also be a faulty controller that keeps reading the battery values wrong. And it can be that Die-Hard Battery Calibrator only made it look right, and you still have a problem.

But if you're happy now, that's all that matters! :)
[Elephone P8000] Kamaal:
It's very important that everything looks OK in a Smartphone, no matter if it's true . I'm happy because yesterday battery percentage wasn't OK like the day before, and now it's OK again like two days ago.

Anybody tested the adapter from aliexpress?

I fear there will be no chance to get otg running on our device. @ skeleton : any chance to improve Bluetooth? Running music on a xerox Bluetooth box music is getting louder or lower or even music semes to become faster or slower...

Anyway thanks for brilliant V8!!
[Elephone P8000] Stefan Gündhör:
Possible: maybe :fingers-crossed:

Probable: definitely not :silly:

Redmi Note 2 doesn't even have custom kernels, as there are no official kernel sources (at least no complete ones) and it is a different platform etc. pp.

So no chance. (also this can't be only a kernel feature, there must be ROM support as well, I suppose)

Stop buying OTG adapters, it can be safely assumed, that this is pointless. :crying:

There are no Note 4 kernel sources?
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:

Because the button options (like s2w or other things with buttons)

[MENTION=4626501]skeleton1911[/MENTION]

In order to honor your efforts for making this beautiful ROM happen, here's a list for more work. for you! :D Let's make it even better!

- change the name of ”eragon update” app to ”eragon”;

- change its icon (and color) to match the ”e” in ”eragon” under the rainbow dragon;

- integrate a hub/repository directly în the eragon app (there was a separate one, I know);

- place ”read me”'s for each item in the hub/repository - with installation instructions, pro's and con's - and I will help with the text;

- keep the ”system apps” (that cannot be deleted by the average n00b user) to a bare minimum;

- do place in the hub several alternate kernels and alternate recovery methods - the more, the merrier; all flashable via recovery;

- ENCRYPTION!;

- take out the limit on number of fingerprints - I used to have 8, so don't tell me that 5 is the ”stock” limit, for it is/was not;

I have more, but let's go along with those for the time being, make us happy! :)
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
Hahahaha... Let me see what I can do [emoji14]

[Elephone P8000] Stefan Gündhör:
waking a phone in kernel is one thing

but resizing the screen?

well, if you do it without animation I guess it can be done in kernel.

So, if someone finds an example for this feature in a similar device's kernel sources, then please send a link to the sources or the specific commit to me and I can try to port the feature. but I won't spend time on trying to implement this feature myself - that's not what I signed up for :D (consumes too much leisure time)
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
Animations? Resizing? Oh I didn't read that.

Then I revert my last answer! Of course then its also rom side..

sounds a bit tricky and not only like a kernel feature :silly:

I said a few posts ago that the Galaxy Note 4 has this feature.. xD

https://www.mediafire.com/folder/rvxdm018fdm1o/EMOTION_KERNELS_NOTE4

I dont know if thats only the kernel or the source...

so i found this:

https://bitbucket.org/arter97/android_kernel_samsung_exynos7420
[Elephone P8000] vladoots:
Sure it ain't exclusively a kernel feature. It's a combo (kernel+ROM), but heavily relying on kernel, that was implemented by a heap of Chinese manufacturers (UMI, Xiaomi, Doogee - off the top of my head) called the ”gestures suite” that originally aimed to control the device via their pictograms. This specific suite can theoretically be adapted to any MTK device/chip. And this is where most devs screwed it up by integrating dt2w ONLY. Bamboozling the core functionality of the phone along with it - and introducing the dreaded and completely unnecessary black screen fixer.

The best ”fix” for a fork-up ain't patching it (with another app or worse), but correcting it.
[Elephone P8000] Gerrit507:
BTW: I get 40k points in antutu that's freaking amazing! Some pages ago somebody said that performance did not improof, that's totally wrong. I think stock was about 33k.
[Elephone P8000] vladoots:
If you live by Antutu scores, good for you. But they're mostly irrelevant.
[Elephone P8000] Gerrit507:
No they're not. How do you justify your thesis? It's a quite wide-ranging benchmark which makes performance of different phones or roms really good comparable.
[Elephone P8000] valascus:
Stefan, btw, can u make the sweep to wake?

Maybe with this? https://github.com/fhasovic/LG-G2-D802-Kernel/blob/master/drivers/input/touchscreen/sweep2wake.c
[Elephone P8000] vladoots:
They are. And it's not my thesis. Antutu scores are not reflecting in any way (shape or form) the user experience, which is the most important factor. One can have staggering Antutu scores, yet a lousy end-user experience. It's something I've learned over and over since Android 1.6. Seamless functionality is what matters most, and for that there is no other benchmark than the end-user feel. :)
[Elephone P8000] kivulallo:
omg what have i done with that question :D anyway this thing probably has an apk because my brother can set the "shortened" screen size like 4" or 4.5". and yes it has animation. but that's unnecessary for me.
[Elephone P8000] Gerrit507:
Yes but the user experience is much about the look and feel of the rom. If it comes to gaming it doesn't matter how smooth or laggy your homescreen is, antutu is a gaming(!) benchmark and therefore it's really good. The same goes for PCs, well I can have the same experience when it comes to office, surfing and watching movies with a poor atom cpu and the best i7 with a high end gpu but(!) you can't game with the atom nor do some high end video rendering stuff. For some users that's important, for some not, but saying antutu or benchmarks in general are useless is just ridiculous. Sorry.

I also don't know why you're complaining. I mean from 33k to 40k points, that's an overall performance increase of 21%, for me that's quite impressive, even if you don't "feel" it in everyday usage.
[Elephone P8000] Rizera:
Really? That much? Why would you need such gigantic amount of fingerprints?! I have only two registered, left index finger and right index finger. That is more than enough, and it reads right 95% of the time!

Regarding the rest of your suggestions, to me, that's nitpicking, but that's absolutely fine and I agree, specially with the "not possible to delete" system apps!

And Skeleton, please if you can, don't forget the requests I have made long ago :)

I could be wrong, but you have made the screen lock dim time higher, no? As for the rest, those would be awesome to have!
