Hey guys, an urgent question. My friend has a p8000 with eragon 9.9 and his OS is dead now. he says it boots, optimizes, then reboots to bootloader(?) screen (android logo) and then again to normal, optimizes, and so on... We tried to clean cache/dalvik but didn't help.

We want to fullwipe and reinstall now. But his phone is an everyday device and a workphone. he has important data.

SO, if we nandroid backup /data then fullwipe, install, and restore /data, is it a reliable progress? will it work? Or it is just enough to start the phone, make a backup and do a complete fullwipe?

Thank you!!
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
This works. But it seems to be a user problem. So after a fullwipe and restore of the data. The issue is there again.. Its strongly recommended to make a fullwipe

we will try then. just to start the phone and backup. if not, then we will try to extract the nandroid or something i don't know... thank you anyway

Hi Skeleton, so I got a P8000 for my wife too and I have flashed Eragon v9.9 on it. However, the Virgin UK SIM is not found but O2 UK SIM works. I also use Virgin UK too on my P8000 but I'm still on v9.2 on mine. Will the custom.img in the post quoted above work with v9.9 or should I downgrade to v9.8 first? Seems the Virgin UK SIM is not friendly with the Eragon ROM, I've had this problem before on a previous version of Eragon ROM but you were able to fix it. I trust you will come through again. Thanks.
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
No this will not works with v9.9.

Flash v9.9 rom and you will See. If it don't work. I can provide you another one.

Just for information I'm on Virgin UK sim and 9.9 with no issues. Don't know if that helps anything but there you go.
[Elephone P8000] sboh247:
It's been a long night for me. This is what I have done:

v9.9 + custom.img = Virgin SIM still not found but O2 SIM okay.

Clean install v9.8 = Virgin SIM still not found but O2 SIM okay.

v9.8 + custom.img = Virgin SIM still not found but O2 SIM okay.

Clean install v9.5 = Virgin SIM still not found but O2 SIM okay.

Clean install v9.2 = Virgin SIM still not found but O2 SIM okay. Surprised because I have v9.2 installed in the other P8000 with Virgin SIM okay. So I swapped the Virgin SIM from SIM slot 1 to SIM slot 2 and it was found with v9.2

So I clean install v9.9 again with Virgin SIM in slot 2 and it was found. But the Virgin SIM is still not found if it is SIM slot 1.
[Elephone P8000] Satbeginner:
Maybe it is a contact issue that has developed?

Is it an original micro-sim, or is it a cut version?

Try to clean the SIM contacts with one of these old red 'school erasers gums'.

This trick will perfectly clean the contacts without scratching or other damage.

Good luck,

Here in the news from Elephone http://www.elephone.hk/readNews/10220.html but is not so clear...
[Elephone P8000] misterright1:
I wanted to buy this device but I am wondering when the device will be released with 6.0 and improved features.
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
i think in 2 month we will have android 6.0
[Elephone P8000] kivulallo:
yes here it is. the first sentence.

"By the way, the old edition will update to Android 6.0 in May but not confirmed yet. Any good news will update in this website and our forum at the first time."
[Elephone P8000] thku:
What are the advantages of Android 6.0?
[Elephone P8000] charliepie:
Personally, there isn't much to get excited about except perhaps for the improved fingerprint unlocking feature(I don't really use FP now) - additional app permissions security(again I'm not too bothered by this) - Doze power saving mode which by all accounts doesn't really work that well(yet) - Google now on tap(I don't use google now either).

I actually believe that Android has gone downhill ever since jelly bean(4.1,4.2,4.3), KitKat disabled access to battery stats and writing to external sd card, lollipop gave us those horrible new soft button design and volta which doesn't work well and I'm sure other things of which I am not a fan...
[Elephone P8000] xzyk:
One feature in MM which I found useful on other devices has been the ability to use the micro SD as part of the overall internal file system. In effect this turns your 16GB device into 16gb+sdcard capacity without requiring apss like link2sd, so much so that it actually complains if it considers your sdcard too slow because now you're in effect trying to create one filesystem from two disparite memory types, your internal emmc and your external SD.

Hello skeleton, I just dirty flashed your rom and I really like what I'm seeing, but there's one little thing I don't like at all. When I lock and unlock my phone these notification sounds annoy me a bit. Is there any way to get back to the stock rom sounds?
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
Turn them of in settings/sounds.

They annoy me too :D haha

I have embed them in system.. If you use a root explorer , go to system/media/audio/ui

There are the lock and unlock sounds ;)

Change then to whatever you want. Or wait for v3.5 . then they are stock again

[Elephone P8000] adyana:
hi skeleton....very happy with the updates that you've done to the ROM....looking forward to v3.5 and its features.

i have to dirty flashed v3.0 several times, because i feel that the phone tends to heats up more, compare to v2.0.

am i the only one that experience this ? do i need to do factory reset in order to reduce in heat ?
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
Our device is a octacore. I don't care if it gets very warm for me it don't matter. its ok.

Only reflashing the Rom can not fix it.

Maybe take a look what cause that? Locations in with GPS/modile data? Or an app you use?

You can use "better battery stats" to figure it out.

When the battery reaches at 15% and the battery saving mode appears on the notifications, the led turns on and it doesn't go off unless you activate this mode. Is there any way to prevent the led turns on without activating this mode?

Turn on when power saver is active?

Or do you mean they are off?

I will look into that

Gesendet von meinem Elephone P8000 mit Tapatalk
[Elephone P8000] Cilorf:
Nono, I mean when the battery reaches at 15%, the led notification turns on as a way to warn us that our phone is going to die and it keeps on unless you activate power saver. But it has no sense because I think the led will consume more battery, so I would want it doesn't turn on.
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
true and i confirm.

seems like a stock feature. loool

Thanks in advanced

I will make a guide soon. Because you are not the only one who ask.

1. Be rooted and cwm recovery is installed

2.place ROM.zip into sdcard

4. Perform a factory reset.

5. Browse to the ROM.zip and install it

6. Reboot

Hi, just moved from 8.0 to 9.9 and found a strange issue with wifi, my BT HomeHub 5 (38 meg) is only providing around 3 meg on a speed test app. I have 2 other routers (an old netgear and an asus rtn16) wired to the same hub acting as access points and they still get roughly what I had before I moved to Eragon 9.9 - anyone else found similar problems?

Thanks in advance
[Elephone P8000] Satbeginner:
I temporarily went back to v9.8.0 because I experienced weird behaviour connecting to 3G/4G data and back to WiFi.

Sometimes it would not connect to data, and I also did not get some calls.

Switching to Flight Mode and back would solve this.

Will test v9.9.0 again soon, it could have been caused by my provider.

Anyway, I am happy with Eragon!

Hi, I hadn't but now I've wiped data and re-wiped cache and dalvik but I'm in 2 minds whether or not it's better, if anything I'd say it's more intermittent. What does seem to make more of a difference than before is proximity to the access points, could some of the power saving tweaks have dropped the wifi power output and if so is there any way for the end user to tweak it?

Thanks

Hi Skeleton!

Big fan of the ROM, been using it on my p8000 for ages now!

I just bought I new one for my girlfriend for a welcome present moving out to me in Germany! Problem is, for the new one I bought, when I flash your ROM I get the issue with the inverted front camera, and no back camera! It all works OK on the stock ROM.

I see there is talk of this issue on the elephone bbs, but the site is currently down with some sort of database error! (seems quite typical of their customer support - the first p8000 I got straight up didnt work on 3G/4G so I've had my fair share of dealing with it)

The clock will appear if you put a magnet close to the proximity sensor area. That's how I first discovered it.

You could use them if you glued a small magnet to them.
