How to install the ROM of 9 November 2015 (attached ReadMe2.pdf instructions also included in .rar)

Nearly everything works in Stock firmware, with the following exceptions:

- GPS (release of 10 September 2015... but 3D and AirTouch are great!)

- VoIP-Calls (by Whatsapp, Facetime, Hangouts) are buggy - when the display is switched off, it simultaneously disconnects the microphone from the call.

- Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality have Left and Right sensors messed up. If you move the phone to the right, the image moves to the left. Gyroscope is buggy.

Perfect GSM calls (kernel patch, switch Boot Image file on original R0M)

The best update for now is 20151109. And the BOOT image file from 20151010 flashed upon it with SP Flash Tool. Almost everyting works fine.

Afterwards there is no need to perform a factory reset! A cache wipe in recovery is enough. The advantage is to keep all your data intact.

It is very easily done! GSM calls are fine with no annoying noises. The microphone keeps working even when the screen is off. The TOC-TOC sounds or Click-Click sounds of the 2015.11.09 firmware due to the Proximity Sensor are gone forever.

Two reviews by @io2345 :D

After getting some experience with the latest KitKat-ROM (4.4.2) developed by LuckasFB, I can tell you all that it's useable. VoIP calls work as well as GPS, Gyro, 3D. Not sure if LuckasFB is still working on better/newer firmware, so currently it is probably the best choice. All of the hints and links are posted "somewhere" in this thread with more than 100 pages and over 1000 entries, so let me sum it up (YuriRM already did that several times before):

First, install TRWP recovery: Flash the file inside this archive (you have to extract it)

https://mega.nz/#!hgYCwIYb!BYlmRnTVzWribPKlQDkmCR5ggT5GCkflIFbjeawg5Jk

as recovery-file using SPFlash-Tool.

Place this two files (without extracting them) in the phones memory or the root of your phones SD-Card (if you use one):

KK custom ROM

Connect phone to a charger, switch it off, and when restarting it, hold "Vol up" pressed, until TRWP-Menu shows. Use "Wipe"-Function, after that "Install" and select the two ZIP-Files, install them and reboot.

Install from play store any power manager app that can do a "hot reboot" (example: "Power Manager" by Guiseppe Montuoro).

After boot wait some time (like 10 minutes), then try to open camera. When the selfie camera is started, make a hot reboot using the power manager app. Start camera again, both cameras will work now (note: as long as "unable to open camera" or "gallery error" shows up or camera just doesn't start, hot reboot is useless).

Getting 3D-Effect (only necessary if you use SD-Card): Copy the two files "HolographyProfile" and "matrix" from the phones folder "Android" into the folder "Android" on the sd-card. The (already preinstalled) App "3D Video" contains four 3D Movies. Hint: If 3D-Effect is ghosty (doubled elements in the picture) try to tilt the phone just a few degrees to the right instead of looking in the very middle of the screen.

Rather than switching off the phone at night, only put it in airplane mode. Saves energy for the battery and you from doing a camera restart the next day...

App that makes use of the gyro effect and has appropriate videos: Install DiscoveryVR from play store. Open a video (like: Shark Storm), move the phone up/down/left/right to change the viewing angle.

Besides from saying, that leaving the screen on when charging is no option for me, I am quite pleased with the current firmware (don't have any clicks either). I told you, that I do not switch off the phone but put it into airplane at night, where battery drops by 1% or even stays at the same value until the morning. Once I had an issue with the card in SIM1 not willing to work when leaving airplane mode, but that occured only once in ten days now and can be solved by a normal reboot. Battery of the phone isn't too strong, but takes me through the day with normal usage of a man (really doubt, if a woman can do one day without recharging). Usually I end up at night with about 30% left. Screen is the greatest consumer, so if you watch a movie on the phone, you will have a drop of 10% of the battery every 15-20 minutes. WiFi and mobile radio also consume some greater part of the energy, so you might do a good while longer if you watch movies in airplane mode. WiFi reception and GPS are just so-so, maybe due to the metal frame of the Takee. For me it is good enough, and I just love the smooth finish of the phone.

3 - custom ROM Android 6.0.1 by VladJocker (Release date: 18th November 2016) (no support for 3D)

Latest alpha version of Android 6.0.1 by VladJocker CM13.0.4

How to install Android 6.0.1/CM 13.0.4 on Takee 1

This ROM is installed from TRWP-Recovery-Mode. As already pointed out, you have to install twice, as the first install will give you some error messages. Just reboot into recovery again. Second install runs fine. You can install gapps directly after that. (I'm using the open_gapps-arm-6.0-mini) I always clear DATA, SYSTEM and CACHE before installing (all from within TRWP Recovery, of course), but maybe that's not mandatory. There is no stock- or custom-recovery in this Installation, which means that you will have the same recovery after installing.

How to enable root access in CyanogenMod

First you have to Enable the developer option on your android device.To do so Go to Settings » About phone » Tap seven times on Build number. Now return back to Settings main menu and now you can see Developer options from there. Now open Developer options Look for Root access setting, and set Apps only. Now CM 13 has full root access.

Review by @io2345

Wait 10 minutes for optimisation of the rear camera, until it starts.

Camera Autofocus is working as well as GPS. Gyro left and right inverted (tried with App LittleStar, as DiscoveryVR says it is not suitable for this phone). WiFi reception quite poor.

The KitKat 4.4 kernel used in Android 6.0.1 is obsolete and buggy. It ought to be replaced by the latest kernel of LuckasFB (Release date: 26th December 2016).
