Thanks in advance

[GiONEE Elife E7] Ali Abuzer:
Bro, I did exactly what you asked. Took a back up, did wipe factory data and tried installing but again error with updator binary :( Please help me

No unfortunately I have not found it.
[GiONEE Elife E7] Aaron Cruz:
I cant install it

I am on a blu life pure xl and I followed all the steps, but when I tried to install the zip, the recovery showed "set_perm: some changes failed". I tried to install with TWRP and CWM, but both recoveries returns me the same error. What can I do?
[GiONEE Elife E7] jompha:
the best form for gionee e7. was looking forward for clean aosp rom and this is the one.

bug: accelerometer and compass has calibration problems and thats why auto rotation and other related apps not working properly. how to fix?
[GiONEE Elife E7] jompha:
Please someone fix accelerometer sensor :(
[GiONEE Elife E7] OS2Tech:
I am experiencing the same problem with installing Clean-KAT ROM; I've tried the suggested solution [restoring the OS, then rebooting to recovery mode and just performing a factory reset wipe prior to installation. I didn't include a screen shot, since my screen shot would be identical to the ones which had already been submitted. The only difference I do see in the other people reporting this and my experience would be the version of TWRP [mine is 2.8.6.0, while the version that Ali Abuzer was running is 2.7.1.0. Hope someone can help me out with this one, thank you in advance.

Regards,

OS2Tech
[GiONEE Elife E7] sahu.prashant:
I have the exactly same problem, did you manage to fix it? I even tried swapping build.prop file with the stock file but it didn't help at all because I too thought that it was some problem with build.prop file. Such distortion occurs when you try to change Manufacturer name and your phone model to fool Play Store.

And while flashing it I get an error telling me some permissions couldn't be fixed or something like that. If you happen to find any solution, please do guide.

Thank you
[GiONEE Elife E7] mesunny85:
Can I flash this ROM over stock rom 4.2.2 ?
[GiONEE Elife E7] sahu.prashant:
Okay guys I somehow managed to fix the permission error while flashing zip. But that doesn't help much, occasional speaker distortion and microphone not working remain the same.

I have no clue why developers won't even respond, let alone fixing the bugs. I tried contacting some but there's absolutely no response, not even to say we're not interested in your device.

Anyone, who has fixed these problems of audio and mic, please respond.

P.S. I'm not a developer, just a noob tweaker. If I was a developer I'd have fixed the issues.
[GiONEE Elife E7] OS2Tech:
Sahu.Prashant:

What did you have to do to fix the permission error? Looking forward to hearing back from you.

Regards,

OS/2Tech
[GiONEE Elife E7] sahu.prashant:
Hello OS/2Tech :)

Well I found out that files from IUNI OS and Cleankat roms were quite similar and similar processes were carried out while flashing both roms however only Cleankat showed errors. I carefully studied updater-script of Cleankat and by adding a few parameters to that file, I was able to pinpoint the error.

There were a few files missing from Cleankat Rom and hence while setting permissions on those files, error was encountered.

Simply copying those missing files from IUNI OS Rom solved the problem.

I can't list all the missing files and replacing them for you wouldn't be easy either so tomorrow I'll upload the Rom which you can just flash.

I use TWRP 3.0.0 and after making Nanandroid, I did a full wipe except sdcard and flashed the Rom without any errors.

This should at least fix the 1% battery error and flashing MIUI rom prior to flashing Cleankat isn't necessary anymore.
[GiONEE Elife E7] OS2Tech:
Thank you ever so much! I do appreciate the assistance; it was really starting to get daunting, and I'm still learning about these particular phones [started with Samsung].
[GiONEE Elife E7] sahu.prashant:
Hello mates,

Please follow the link below. It's a Google Drive link to the Permission Fixed Cleankat Rom....

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8fvS_BFbJzNX29LV1ZxNHA4Y2M/view?usp=sharing

Please let me know if there's any problem with the link or any problems with flashing. :)

P.S. Please try to get some other developers' attention if you can on this rom as well as the few others we have.

Thank you!
[GiONEE Elife E7] jompha:
Anyone else having problem with accelerometer sensor problem like me? Its reverted and not working properly. Plz help me fix that. Im using 26gb variant.
[GiONEE Elife E7] sahu.prashant:
I did test the rom and I have a 32 gb variant but I didn't face any issues with any of the sensors. But if you mention it, I'll test them again.

Do you have any issues with speaker output and microphone?
[GiONEE Elife E7] MasterChief2:
Have this rom problem with Battery Drain?
[GiONEE Elife E7] sahu.prashant:
I don't think so but there are larger problems at hand then battery drain. The rom isn't completely stable yet.

---------- Post added at 04:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:24 PM ----------

Well mates I did happen to solve microphone and speaker issue too but when I did, I had terrible issues with Google Play Services and Supersu. If anyone has any knowledge regarding porting roms, please look into Cleankat and IUNI roms, the key lies there.

I'll keep looking too and keep you all updated

Thanks!
[GiONEE Elife E7] MasterChief2:
What doesn't work? :)

Can I use it for Messaging, Phoning, Camera and Facebook?
[GiONEE Elife E7] sahu.prashant:
You can install and use any app you like, rom is almost stable but not completely stable.

Camera, sensors and almost everything else works.

However there is a problem with speaker output and microphone and if that doesn't get fixed this rom can't be used on a daily basis.

I was tweaking with rom files today and somehow managed to fix both speaker and mic but in return messing up Play Services and Supersu badly.

I'll see if I can fix them all somehow.

:)
[GiONEE Elife E7] MasterChief2:
Yeah, microphone doesn't work..

Can you post download link for that rom because I don't use Play Store or any Google apps? (Rom in Microphone Work)

Thanks! :)
[GiONEE Elife E7] sahu.prashant:
Well I haven't uploaded the rom in which sound and microphone are fixed yet but I'll surely do so in a day or two.
[GiONEE Elife E7] MasterChief2:
https://mega.nz/#!XMtiAaST!qQn2_I2xDVQ_FYqo3Gdw63yUcLqqPcpYNrafUHUAyRw

Do you use this ROM (from Page 3;link above) or ROM (from Page 1) to compare with IUNI V2 ROM?

Because, I have install your ROM from previous page and tested Microphone with Z - Device Test and it didn't work..

Hovever, I install ROM from Page 3 ( also CleanKitKat by Candar777) and Microphone is working without problem..

But, problem with ROM from page 3 is in huge Battery Drain.. :)
[GiONEE Elife E7] sahu.prashant:
I think I've been using rom from page 1 all along. :silly:

I'll try the rom from the above link and see if it can be helped in any way. However if you'd like to, you can use Wake Lock Detector and Autostarts from Play Store to detect and stop the battery draining services manually.

Thanks a lot! :o
[GiONEE Elife E7] OS2Tech:
Hello again, Sahu.Prashant:

I installed your fixed version of CleanKat ROM over the weekend; for some odd reason, the phone portion does not seem to be enabled. When I look in the mobile network settings, there are no APN's listed under Access Point Names; creating one and saving it does not give you one. When you look at the services list, it shows "No services available"; preferred network types only show 2G/3G [currently set to 3G/2G(Auto)]. I've tried wiping and reinstalling, with no better response. Any ideas? TIA
[GiONEE Elife E7] sahu.prashant:
Thanks for your response OS2TECH,

I did use the rom and test it but I didn't find any such anomalies but I'll look into it again and keep you informed. :)
[GiONEE Elife E7] OS2Tech:
Thank you for that; I really liked what I saw, even without all the functionality; it had a very clean look and feel that reminded me of CyanogenMod.
[GiONEE Elife E7] sahu.prashant:
I agree with you, the reason why I'm so hellbent on making this rom work is because it's Stock Kitkat and Xposed is completely compatible with it and we can do so much with this rom.

Let's see how it all goes. :)
[GiONEE Elife E7] 1manshow:
@ sahu.prashant

Mate, did you happen to test the updated version from Page 3? As you mentioned earlier, you were using the Rom from page 1, but page 3 version is a bit more stable one. So if you begin with it, maybe you can fix remaining bugs far easier than initial version of ROM. I wish you all the best and good luck for trying to make it a better ROM. Thanks for your efforts.
[GiONEE Elife E7] INFERNO777:
What you fix in this ROM?

You added a few lines "ui_print("Success...");" to META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script file? or i'm wrong?

Look at the attached picture. Left original, right from your zip.
[GiONEE Elife E7] sahu.prashant:
Yes you're very right but that's not the complete story.

I'd been using the zip file from Page 1 which produced an error like...

set_perm failed error 7

Or something like that.

To pinpoint what is causing that error, I had to use ui_print after every permission setting statement which lead to me find out that some files from xbin folder were missing which generated the error. Hence replacing those files solved the error.

I'm not trying to get recognition or appreciation and certainly not for fooling around.

---------- Post added at 02:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:31 AM ----------

Yes my friend, first of all I'm really sorry, I've been using rom from Page 1 all along.

I used the ROM from Page 3 for about a day now and didn't find any bugs to be honest.

I didn't find battery drain either although I've installed many apps and Instant Messengers and the ROM works normally.

However you might encounter problems with root permissions initially and perhaps with camera too, in that case please let me know and I'll happy to help.

I installed Xposed Framework too and I'm currently using many modules and they all work fine. I'll be happy to list some good modules if you'd want me to. :)

Although I must admit, some apps might incorrectly show some thumbnails and pictures but I think we can live with that. :o
[GiONEE Elife E7] 1manshow:
Thanks for the reply. Last time I tried this ROM, it had bugs with microphone and sound volume quite lower than normal, to an extent that many times other parties cannot hear me properly. When I returned back to stock Kitkat rom, all worked fine. Not sure, but I believe it was ROM issue, can you please try it and let me know if you face any issues with low microphone and sound output than normal KK rom? Even my recorded voice notes on Whatsapp were having low volume and my friends/family complained about it many times. Also IMO video app had issue of sending no voice over video call from my phone, it worked again fine in KK rom.

I would be glad to know which modules you found useful which can be used to enhance the performance of the ROM. Also please post about the battery backup as well which you are getting in this. Any other bugs which you encounter that can prevent us to use this ROM as daily driver?
[GiONEE Elife E7] sahu.prashant:
Just like [MENTION=7159167]MasterChief2[/MENTION] pointed out, please try the ROM from the link above and it should work just fine. Just a clean flash required and it'll be right as rain. No bugs regarding speaker or microphone whatsoever. :)

I'll write about Xposed modules and other related stuff soon.
[GiONEE Elife E7] 1manshow:
Yes mate, but I have read the comments about low speaker and microphone volume with the updated version as well. Can you please confirm if volume levels are same as Stock KK? As I'm using this phone as daily driver, would prefer to confirm first before trying it out as I'll have to backup lots of data beforehand before switching ROMs. May I know what messenger apps are you using? Using whatsapp and imo in it?
[GiONEE Elife E7] MasterChief2:
I tested the ROM (from page 3) and results are follows:

I think the sound and microphone work well. I didn't directly compared it with Stock ROM, but for me there are good..

Camera in "Normal" mod work very well, but when I changed it to Panorama it crashes.. (I don't use this mod, and for me it doesn't matter).

And Biggest problem with ROM is Battery Drain..

When my battery have about 20%, the phone is switched off at the time of 2-3 minutes.. , so there are definitly problem with Battery Drain.. (Screen Time was 3 hours and about 45 minutes)

I used program above in the post to see wath is eating my battery but i didn't find anything...

Some users from page 3 and page 4 are reported Battery Drain with ROM from page 3 so I think I'm definitly right...

If someone can fix this Battery Drain this ROM will be best for Elife E7..

:)
[GiONEE Elife E7] sahu.prashant:
First of all apologies for the delay in writing back.

I've been using this ROM for about more than two days now and these were my observations....

#1 Sound and microphone work fine, more or less same as the stock.

#2 There is some battery drain.

However I noticed no battery drain while screen is off but while using the phone I did notice that device tends to get warm to hot and really hot and battery drain is huge while using any camera app. I'll try to present detailed battery stats soon but I think stock lasted easily an hour longer than Cleankat.

#3 Abnormal icons.

In many apps, I've noticed that some icons and thumbnails are out of proportion and look kinda ugly. Unfortunately I don't know any way to fix this although I've tried changing DPI.

Rest all works fine...

Now there's a very important choice to make...

Better battery life+better camera app vs. Stock Kitkat which is highly customizable
[GiONEE Elife E7] sahu.prashant:
And also the Google Camera app which comes with the ROM looks kinda broken as it FCs when tried switching to Panorama mode.

Also some might have noticed problems with root permissions too...

For fixing that, try rooting the device with Kingoroot apk.

Once rooted, download System App Remover and remove the camera app.

Now you might search Google Play for Google Camera but you won't find it. So download an Google Camera apk externally and install it... And everything will be good again.

And I know Kingoroot sucks so for switching from Kingoroot to Supersu please follow this guide...

http://www.w0lfdroid.com/2015/05/How-to-Remove-Replace-KingUser-KingRoot-with-SuperSU.html?m=1

And here are some Xposed modules which I find useful....
[GiONEE Elife E7] 1manshow:
Thanks sahu.prashant for detailed feedback on this ROM. Though for root issues, I think you can simply remove Kinguser.apk from /system/app from installation ZIP itself and then proceed with installing ROM and superSU 2.46 zip one after another and it should work fine. This solution was already posted some pages ago and it works fine since conflicting root app is not installed in first place if removed from installation zip itself.

I think I'll wait for battery backup fix and storage only using/showing 16 GB out of my 32 GB bug before trying to use this ROM as daily driver. Also loosing NFC is a bit tough choice too if you make good use of it.
[GiONEE Elife E7] sahu.prashant:
Can't agree more with you mate... Can't handle this very short battery life so well either. I'll try a few things and if I manage to get battery life anywhere near to stock, I'll stay with this one. Otherwise I'll have to revert back.

It's a pity that our device doesn't have ample support, neither from GiONEE nor from any developers. I was very hopeful about OmniRom but it has been abandoned too. I wish we could do something about it but my inadequate knowledge always gets in way.

I wish we could get some developers to fix OmniRom
[GiONEE Elife E7] 1manshow:
Yes, I wish the same mate. But too bad everyone (devs) have already abandoned this device. All this due to Gionee's stupid policy of not sharing kernel sources on time and not helping devs at all the time device was new. Now I'm unable to sell off this device too and don't want to sell it at 1/4 of price just to get rid of this beautiful hardware. Only option seems left is to learn Android development ourselves to fix it but is quite daunting task already. Let's see if any other dev is interested to fix Omnirom...
[GiONEE Elife E7] sahu.prashant:
That's true mate,

People are already taking about Android N and we're still stuck with Kitkat, such a shame despite of running on such good hardware. I can't seem to sell this device either since it has negligible resale value.

I don't think we have any developers which can help us but I'll keep trying to get attention of some who can help us out.

I was planning on starting Android Development myself but I have no clue where to start and it isn't a child's play that's for sure and most of the guides on the internet are outdated. I'd be happy to work if someone could even point to the right direction.

feroxxx had brought us very close and even Omnirom 6 needs a few fixes and it'll be right as rain.

Anyhow mate if you happen to stumble upon any kind of information that could be useful for us for fixing Omnirom up, kindly share. Who knows we might be able to make it work after all.
[GiONEE Elife E7] 1manshow:
Sure, my wife is using the phone right now, she loves it despite facing some bugs on stock KK. What happened to other devs like Ravikirancg, mukul etc. who had this device? Maybe they can guide or fix it, but possibly lacking the motivation/time needed to fix it. I'm even willing to pay a bounty or amount for motivation as donation if someone can deliver a bugfree stock LP or MM Rom. Let's see, I even called out in that Omnirom thread to other devs, hope someone can notice or respond to that call. Thanks.
[GiONEE Elife E7] sahu.prashant:
Thank you so very much for your efforts, I did see your post on Omnirom thread. :)

I sent private messages to some developers who were involved in development of Omnirom, I'm just awaiting their response now.

Well as for bounty, I'm just a college student currently but I'll happily give away some of the savings I have to see a working lollipop or marshmallow rom on our device.

It's funny how everyone sorta left all of a sudden.

Anyhow, till then I'll be scavenging the internet for some information about fixing camera bugs.

But thank you again for your efforts, I really hope we succeed in getting attention.
[GiONEE Elife E7] INFERNO777:
Does anyone know which device this ROM has been ported to E7?
[GiONEE Elife E7] 蝴蝶剑:
my phone is iuni u2,which is much similiar to gionee e7.we chinese users are also trying to contact with good devs to help port omni5.1.How do we wish to have a perfect lollipop rom:o
[GiONEE Elife E7] sahu.prashant:
Thank you so very much mate, please do keep us updated if you can get some developers working on your devices. And I believe our devices are very much similar since IUNI OS was among the very first practically stable roms. Some developers on Omnirom thread have confirmed that they're still working on fixing it but they say that their progress will be slow. Anyhow let's see how it goes.

Good Luck :good:
[GiONEE Elife E7] 蝴蝶剑:
yeah.I am looking forward to a perfect rom.i will keep updated as long as my device could work.;)
[GiONEE Elife E7] INFERNO777:
I found in this ROM a system service sys.com.analytics.cpa that is constantly awakens CPU. And most likely it bloatware - sysntem.apk - i del this apk and everything was OK. I think this is spyware and not system apk. IMHO.
[GiONEE Elife E7] sahu.prashant:
That's an interesting discovery. Did removal of this apk enhance the battery life in any way? I noticed almost no battery drain while the screen was off but while using the device, battery drain was quite significant.
[GiONEE Elife E7] INFERNO777:
Battery stats very bad in this ROM, not really. So when the screen is ON , quickly discharged battery.
[GiONEE Elife E7] sahu.prashant:
Yes that's one major issue. I'm completely clueless how to fix it. With customizations, stock Kitkat is so much better than what we're using right now but battery is a major issue.

Stuck in Stock Recovery WITHOUT use of power button

Recently went about flashing custom rom to phone and ended up in the Stock recovery menu, of coarse without the use of buttons i cant get anywhere... also as battery is internal cannot remove. so at the moment is essentially a brick. I recall being able to use a ADB command or something to reboot from recovery but cannot recall what i was or from where it came... any help would be appreciated.

Also on a side note: is TWRP compatible with P7?? or alternatives???
