Hello guys, I am just back from holidays - hope you all had a brilliant Christmas and enjoying the festive season and making the most of it while it lasts.

On the development side, seems a lot of releases have been made whilst I was away for 3 weeks, [MENTION=4626501]skeleton1911[/MENTION] you're a star. I have just gone through the last few pages and trying to establish which is the most stable version I should move on to (currently I am on 6.5), I see version 7.3 as latest but the OTA message I get is for 7.0. So which one to go for? I am planning to do a Dirty flash and see if there are any issues and if there are, I will do a clean flash.

I have Philz recovery, do I need to update to the latest version?

Thanks guys.
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
Thanks.

On first page download v7.2 flash it and you will get a OTA v7.3
[Elephone P8000] itstheunsub:
Nope I dont have any backups on my phone storage
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
I dont know. Something must be there for you? Maybe some hidden backups or stuff?

Because it can not be the Rom.
[Elephone P8000] itstheunsub:
Isn't everything deleted when I wipe everything and do a clean flash?
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
Not your storage or backups or other things..

The system partition and data partition are deleted after a clean flash, because of the system and data wipe in a fullwipe , but nothing more
[Elephone P8000] itstheunsub:
I tried searching for some files via ES File Explorer but I didn't find anything... Is there some app to find 'hidden' files?
[Elephone P8000] sboh247:
Try the app DiskUsagehttps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.diskusage which should show you exactly what occupies your disk space
[Elephone P8000] itstheunsub:
Found a few things. Thank you
[Elephone P8000] kivulallo:
you can turn on show hidden files in ES in the side menu, tools section and scroll down to the bottom. there will be the switch. but i'm also using diskusage for control my storage
[Elephone P8000] vladoots:
My wish list:

- screenshot dedicated option in power menu (right next to ”reboot to recovery”)

- normal call screens (no more gimmicks to overcome the faults in Visionary kernel).

- long-press (back soft button) to kill the active app.

- a ”dark” version of everything (especially for texting apps; some messages are a pain to read, especially if they contain numbers and regardless of the font size).

Should I talk to Santa Skeleton? :)

May you all have a Happy New Year!
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:

[Elephone P8000] timax69:
A ”dark” version (black background, white text - optimized for reading) would be great (system menu and if possible for apps).
[Elephone P8000] P4ll1n01:
the problem is in the partition of the P8000 it is locate in two different partition when flash it

u can see in the Philz Recovery : Advanced functions /Sdcard target:/data/media/0 or Advanced fuctions/Sdcard target:/data/media

u change it and reboot u can see the backup in clockworkmod folder

warning : the partition dryning the memory capacity

I recommend once you find the partition with the backup to clear through the factory reset the empty partition

happy new year to all :highfive::highfive::highfive::highfive:

[Elephone P8000] Stefan Gündhör:
Dear skeleton,

here in Austria I seem to have a problem using your ROM that did not occur on the stock ROM.

I am using the provider "HoT", which in fact is a fairly new one and does use the infrastructure of T-Mobile Austria.

Using your ROM the phone identifies as "Tele.Ring" Austria (Tele.Ring is owned by T-Mobile Austria, and HoT, Tele.Ring and T-Mobile all use the same net).

This results in a permanently visible roaming-icon, though I am in my home net. In stock ROM I did not have the roaming symbol.

I have already set the correct APN settings for HoT, but the problem persists. It seems this can be solved by a ROM update (Android needs to be able to identify the HoT-net-code as belonging to Austria / non-roaming).

A german thread on this topic can be found here: http://www.tarifecheck.at/forum/viewtopic.php?p=81959#p81959

And I also attach a screenshot of the german HoT website, covering a related topic.

Maybe you could take a look at this and compare the net settings to those of the stock ROM, because there I did not have any roaming symbol.

I'd appreciate your help - thank you in advance!

Regards,

Stefan
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
Will do next week

You are talking from 03/12 stock rom?

Because my rom based on that ! All files are merged with that stock base..

It could be my rom baseband that Cause that.. We will see
[Elephone P8000] Stefan Gündhör:
Thank you.

Well, unfortunately I switched to custom ROM without looking at the version info of the stock ROM.

I received my P8000 today and as with my last Android phone the first thing I did was installing a custom ROM.

But the one and only time I booted into the stock ROM I noticed that the 3G symbol was displayed without any roaming icon.

It has no other side effects, but it's a bit annoying, having the permament roaming icon.
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
Please.flash the 03/12 stock rom. To see if it is the same there. It would be good to know..

I can send you a different baseband soon too
[Elephone P8000] Stefan Gündhör:
I might try switching only baseband first - this should prevent me from needing to set up the phone again, right?

If the baseband change does not help, I'll switch back to stock and report to you, if the problem persists.
[Elephone P8000] Stefan Gündhör:
Possible bug report: touch not working in touch recovery

Procedure:

coming from stock, install latest touch recovery v3

touch is working in touch recovery

install your rom (7.2), load OTA update

touch no longer working in touch recovery

install latest touch recovery v3 again

touch working again in touch recovery

Permanent roaming icon problem solved

Well, i found the thread http://xdaforums.com/elephone-p8000/development/mod-remove-roaming-home-network-t3206004

As described there, I altered the framework-res.apk and added the codes for my network carrier HoT / T-Mobile Austria.

Additionally I had to wipe cache/dalvik cache.

Now the roaming icon is gone.

If someone else is on Eragon v7.3 and using HoT, he might use the attached framework-res.apk

I will also attach the folders I added/modified inside the 'res' folder of the framework-res.apk, so you (skeleton) might add these things as well in your next ROM build.

Might be worth a look in framework-res.apk of stock ROM, if the known codes there differ from the ones of your ROM.
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
Did not thought it was the known "fake" roaming for you. Lol.

That's fine then..

Will add the hit/T-Mobile Austria bands into next version

I have just received my new router today and was setting up the WiFi. I created two wifis, one with 2,4ghz and one with 5ghz. My phone is only finding the 2,4ghz. Does the p8000 not support 5ghz wifi? The WiFi performance overall is pretty poor
[Elephone P8000] Nachtwesen2:
P8000 supports only 2,4 :(
[Elephone P8000] MacLaughlin:
Already looked it up. Thanks
[Elephone P8000] kivulallo:
i dont understand this either because mtk6753 has 5ghz controller. maybe elephone didnt put 5ghz antenna in the phone. pity...
[Elephone P8000] silentdude:
Doesn't matter, because the general coverage at 5Ghz is much poorer.

(lower freq's reach longer)

Happy new year to you all and thank you [MENTION=4626501]skeleton1911[/MENTION]

But still depens on usage.
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
Its better. But not possible to say anything related to it. Because its up to how users use the phone. More games or youtube. more battery drain. Etc.. Just try it out and you will see :)

one short Question, i searched the Thread, but i cant find the answer.

Is it possible to save the Photos to external SD Card in the stock Camera App?

I cant find any Option.

yes you can set the default write disk to sd card in settings/storage menu. this is only with the stock camera.

Is there anything new in the ringtone setting in v7.3?

I did a clean install and can't add my favorit sounds anymore.

Under v5.6, i used before, i just copied the mp3s in the system\media\audio\ringtone folder and was able to choose them in the settigs.

Now the files were not shown by the Medienspeicher App in the settings.

The permissions of the mp3s are identical to the other files in the folder.

Has someone an idea how to solve it?

[MENTION=267840]Skeleton[/MENTION] i need some help.

Just noticed when i setup a new customised ringtone, i can't find it in the list with the multimedia stock but it works anyway, just can't find it in the list.

That ringtone is an .OGG file and has been stored on the "ringtones" folder.

I used application "Doctor Who Ringtones" to get my ringtones.

This application place ringtones on "Notifications" folder but it doesn't find it anyway so i placed it myself on Ringtones, but still the phone can't find it.

But with Mixplorer i can set the ringtone directly and it works.
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
Wipe cache
[Elephone P8000] bluiis48:
I wondered if anyone else would have this issue or if it was just me because it has not been raised before. My notification sound quit working with 7.3 and I noticed the notification sounds included in the rom had changed and my favorite was no longer in the list so I reverted back to 6.7, saved the sounds to external SD, went back to 7.3 and copied them back to system with no changes to permissions. At that point I had some sounds appearing twice, I guess because I left them on the external SD. But.... I would not get a notification sound at all on new SMS no matter what sound I chose. I cleaned for new rom using Philz and went back to version 6.7 which fixed the silent SMS problem and gave me my favorite sounds back, and the only strange thing now is that both ringtone and notification revert back to the stock android sounds occasionally, which I have not been able to figure out, and a reboot occasionally calls up the android is optimizing routine, which I can live with.
[Elephone P8000] DeeKay773:
There is a little workaround i used (since i have been really noob in this). Open random music player (i have seen it in Poweramp, for sure), find the song you want and set it as a ringtone. Then go and set another song as a ringtone. Both of them will now appear in the "ringtone select" window. Hope it helps. :)

Edit: Not sure about 7.3, cause i have 7.2

A belated Happy New Year.

I've searched the thread but can't seem to find the same issue or a solution.

I have a Smartband 2 - I can't update the firmware via my P8000 on any of the last few versions of Eragon as it fails every time (I have to revert to my Nexus 5 after which it will re-pair with my P8000) however it regularly tells me that it is disconnected. If I open the app and click the button on the Smartband it reconnects immediately. Is there anything I can do to get it to maintain the connection properly. I'm more than happy to beta test if that would help?

Thank you
[Elephone P8000] aprovis83:
have you deleted the connection (BT and all) from the smartband. ?

did you performed a fullwipe?

i think this will fix it.
[Elephone P8000] akirainblack:
Yes, deleted pairing from the smartband (factory reset as it's the only way to pair with a new device) and from the P8000.

Yes, full wipe was done when the ROM was installed.

I think the easiest way would be dirty flashing the rom again^^

but pls wait until [MENTION=4626501]skeleton1911[/MENTION] confirms that ;) With our HTC M7 this was a good solution for resetting something to factory defaults^^

[Elephone P8000] Rizera:
Dear Skeleton and all P8000 users, I haven't heard about these subjects anymore, but two controversial points of this phone: the Bluetooth and the Fingerprint sensor. My impressions/solutions:

a) Bluetooth is strange. It works in general, but there is something I can't understand about it when it comes to audio. When I pair it with my car, for example, it takes a few minutes for it to play properly. Long story short, if I try to play something as soon as it pairs, it tends to skip the audio frequently, making the listening experience unacceptable. It is always like that. However, if I pair the phone's bluetooth with my car and wait for around 5 minutes before starting playing something, the audio works just fine. It is hard for an average user like me to understand why this happens, but this workaround seems to solve the problem. Looks like a buffer problem? I do not know. Maybe Skeleton, Blueflame, tiltkoko, dr_root or someone else could help with this.

b) The fingerprint sensor. It used to be excellent to me on Eragon v6.7 (~95% success rate), but after I flashed v7.0 it started failing a bit, and got even worse on v7.3. It was probably related to dirty flashing, but again, I know nothing about technical aspects. I did, though, tried to flash the kernel ROM, and it got better again. I did reflash visi0nary kernel above it, and it started working normally again. Hard to understand what happens, but at least things work perfectly after these workarounds.

In time, sorry for the long posts, I just wanted to give my overviews about these topics.
[Elephone P8000] thundermuppet:
Fingerprint is improved in latest version, works every time. Usual trick is to scan finger a few times.

Also, it is always a good idea to do a clean install and not dirty one if you don't want any problems.
