I'm probably right if I guess, that ROM-development has stopped (again)?
[Device Reviews and Information] YuriRM:
Validation of the "Takee1 3D Stock Player 2019 by Mich-C.apk"

I have met her only once a few years ago at a poetry event. My friend lives in another town. Therefore, I would need to drive 80 KM to fetch her Takee 1 phone. My car's fuel consumption is 8.0 liter/100 KM and petrol (gasoline) is €1.529 / liter. This trip to fetch Takee will cost nearly €10. Furthermore, the tiny increase of your offer is unlikely to be welcome by my friend. That is why I have not talked to her yet. My guess is that she expects a €40 minimum offer. Maybe you should deal with her directly.

If you are real tight on money maybe a small donation by [MENTION=9189065]kano3d[/MENTION], [MENTION=6026343]io2345[/MENTION] and [MENTION=7147494]YuriRM[/MENTION] will top up your offer, enabling the purchase of this second-hand Takee unit for development purposes.

The first step is validation on stock ROMs and latest custom ROM by Luckasfb (Release date: 26th December 2016) of the "Takee1 3D Stock Player 2019 by Mich-C.apk" .

[MENTION=6026343]io2345[/MENTION] you are an able and skillful tester of our Estar Takee 1 development team (three members). At the moment, you are the single one available to pull through this validation. Other Takee owners on XDA could help us but they are silent. Perhaps, [MENTION=5128870]Mich-C[/MENTION] should enlist more testers at the 4PDA forum.

Why not - I'll donate 10€, if that helps

...

Alright, don't need the phone on Weekends anyway. Got the 26th Dec. version of KK up and running. 3D Player is already installed there, so that I was wondering why to replace it. Anyway, deinstalled it with the help of Titanium Backup and tried to install the MichC-Version APK. Didn't install (just said "can not be installed" or similar). But I had a Titanium Backup of the Player - installed it before on Version 6, remember? - and simply installed that one. Now the Player is running again (fine, no problems). Not to sure if it is different from the original version, though. How to tell? At least under System Settings -> Apps it says "3d Video (Mich-C)", so I suppose it's the right version.
[Device Reviews and Information] Mik-el:
First of all, hello guys and thank you as always for your encouragements!

Yes, it stopped again for a while but the good news is that I don't have exams this month.

About the custom Rom I didn't continue my research since the problem is always the hardware damage of my device. The only things I can work are the 2 video players since I can test them on my current smartphone. (I'll talk about them in the next post)

Many thanks guys. You are very kind, I'll really appreciate it. :o

Yuri If your friends asks 40 euros, we should be able to reach the amount this way.

The only things that still worries me now are the gps and the sim problems.

Last month I discovered a website that tracks several italian websites that deal second hand items: I should recive a mail every time a new "takee 1" advertisement is published, the problem is that I recived 0 mails since then :(

This is a good idea. Maybe we could also find another used device there.

They're silent for some reason, but they're interested since the 3d players have been downloaded much more than 3 times. (:

---------- Post added at 10:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:27 PM ----------

A few week ago I started studying to add the url/youtube capability to the my JLplayer, but I stopped since it would be better to focus directly on my "3d Stock Player 2019" that supports eye-tracking and do the same for it. So yes YuriRM, first of all we must be completely sure if the 3d stock player actually works on the eye tracking enabled Roms!

Already done by our [MENTION=6026343]io2345[/MENTION] I see :) thanks for testing!

To be completely sure to having installed my "3d Stock Player 2019" use this instructions: (no need to use Titanium Backup)

0)phone needs to be rooted

1)install Total Commander (just 2 mb!)

2)create a new folder in your microSD and call it "backup"

3)starting from the root of your device move to the "system/app" directory and long press the 3d Stock Player apk file and cut it

4)paste this file in the "backup" folder you created before

5)go back to your device root, move to the "data/app" directory and check if another 3d stock player is present here. (it should not be present.) If it's present cut-paste it also to the "backup" folder

6)now don't install my player "Takee 1 Stock 3D Player 2019 by Mich-C" but simply copy it and paste it to "system/app" directory of your device

7)you are now using the 2019 stock 3d player​

5 tests of "3d Stock Player 2019"

[MENTION=5128870]Mich-C[/MENTION] My donation is to drive my car 80 KM to fetch Takee in another town (worth 10€ in gasoline costs). Or 10€ towards another device sourced from owners at 4PDA.

djalexxx200 has two Takee units for backup. He may have four Takee units in total (unless the translation is wrong).

"The battery can be bought). I have 2 phones lying as backup. On the fourth android, half the applications I need do not work. Outdated Although still people are surprised by 3D when I show."

[MENTION=6026343]io2345[/MENTION] Thanks for your report!

1- Can you test the new instructions, please? Check the feasibility to implement the latest copy/paste/delete procedure described by [MENTION=5128870]Mich-C[/MENTION].

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=79017273&postcount=1351

2- Performance of an Eye-tracking test on "3d Stock Player 2019"

3- Performance of an url/youtube capability test on "3d Stock Player 2019"

4- All the above in a stock ROM too (10 September 2015, 10 October 2015 and 9 November 2015).

5- Do not forget the hybrid firmware (latest 9 November 2015) with a ported kernel (previous 10 October 2015 boot) implemented by [MENTION=5667993]stas30[/MENTION] and [MENTION=6998813]Maxmydishe[/MENTION] to solve the clacking noise. Many people are using this hack because it is easy to implement (with SP Flash Tool).
[Device Reviews and Information] io2345:
[MENTION=7147494]YuriRM[/MENTION] I don't get the sense in driving to your friend in order to fetch the phone (besides the wish to meet him again, maybe). If he really sells it, it must be sent to Mich-C by mail anyway. So why not sending directly to him?

[MENTION=5128870]Mich-C[/MENTION] Thank you for your detailed description. No need to back up the original app, I'll just reinstall the whole ROM in case of need. The original 3D-Player obviously has the name "EST_Video.apk" (to tell from the icon). Could delete this APK. But when I tried to copy your APK into there it said "cannot copy". Had to update SuperSU and deactivate "mount namespace separation" - then it did work. Your 3D Player is working fine, don't know how to tell if eyetracking is working or not. When playing 3D-Videos it has small lags from time to time, sometimes even crashes. Maybe it's the ROM's fault, as there is a logger running by default (MTK Logger). Can you recommend an URL that would be worth testing? Note that the two files "HolographyProfile" and "matrix" have to be present in the /<storage>/android folder. After renaming or deleting them there is no longer a 3D effect in the Video.

The 26th Dec. ROM itself is working fine as well, in 3Doo VR 3D Videoplayer the directions are ok when playing VR Videos (were inverted in stock ROM), even IP calls are working (stock ROM had a microphone bug). So it is the recommended ROM for further development. Just without having the logger running from startup, of course.

I think it's senseless testing older KK custom ROMs, as there are known bugs. Maybe I'm going to test the latest stock ROM later.
[Device Reviews and Information] YuriRM:
3D apps for testing

Off course, Mich-C can ask her to mail this phone directly to him if she accepts to sell her Takee for 40€.

The problem that I foresee is two hours waiting time at the post office. She may be unwilling to reschedule her clients to another day.

Can you test these apps, please?

[MENTION=5128870]Mich-C[/MENTION] have you discovered the output method of 3D images and 3D videos on your "3d Stock Player 2019" ?
[Device Reviews and Information] Mik-el:
We had this idea since Yuri's friend was too busy (maybe lazy XD) to ship the phone from the post office.

At this point if YuriRM adds these 10 eur instead, maybe she'll decide to ship it personally.

Nice news! Yes I absolutely have to make a summary post in that thread.

(the italian traslation in even worse than the english one XD)

Yes, it's better to test the players on the stock roms!

Was the stock 3d player included in the rom slow too?

I can give instruction to disable it so we'll see if the performances improve

Never heard about these files. So it's better to not touch them XD

Since I couldn't test the Stock Player on my smartphone I forgot that it already has the url capability. If the Stock Player can display any local 2d video in 3d mode, it should be able to display any online 2d video in 3d mode too.

My advice is to search any "720p 30fps sample video" online, maybe the stock player is slow because it loads videos with the best quality by default (4k or 60fps)

Thanks for the advice about the rom. Did I understood correctly? The only bug present in 3Doo is the orientation of the screen? Because if it's so we can solve this just leaving a review on the PlayStore for the developer (easy fix)
[Device Reviews and Information] io2345:
---> The same with the stock player, maybe it crashes even more often. So probably the ROMs fault.

---> Look in your Android-Folder (mine is on the sd-card), you'll find them there. They are necessary for the Takee. No files there, no 3D effect. But they don't work in the Android-6 ROM

---> Ah, now I understand what the hazzle is all about: With this player you can play 2D-files with a 3D-effect. Tried two files from YouTube and two from Vimeo under the "Play URL" section, but none of them could be played...

---> No, orientation is fine. There is no bug present. The Bugs were present in the previous ROM versions. Left and right were mixed up there.
[Device Reviews and Information] YuriRM:
"3D stereoscopic" or "3D SBS 1080p 30fps"

Eye-tracking test

Move your head slowly.... to the left and right (Horizontally)... also up and down (Vertically). Does the mechanism adjust the 3D image to keep the 3D effect, regardless of your position?

[MENTION=6026343]io2345[/MENTION] two versions of the same video (30fps and 60fps) are required to test the issue "small lags from time to time".

Estar Takee 1 has a FHD 1080p display. My experience with 3D videos on Takee 1 is that 720p has an utterly depressing shallow depth. Only 1080p gives an accurate sense of depth. Therefore, the best of Estar Takee 1 requires any "3D stereoscopic" or "3D SBS 1080p 30fps sample video" and "3D SBS 1080p 60fps sample video" online for a meaningful comparison test.

I love this 3:40m underwater 3D video from Mozambique "3D Мозамбик. 3D Mocambique underwater". Do you know that I lived in there for many years? This awesome manta ray is swimming in nutrient rich waters with a lot of plankton (first 2:20 minutes). Then the water clears up and incredible animals show up in great 3D. I recommend this for testing at 1080p.

You can download it to internal storage (98.5 MB) with [MENTION=4244449]utube[/MENTION]bot on Telegram app and choose resolution. However, it does not indicate the framerate (30fps or 60fps).

Says app not compatible with your phone

No 3D effect (I think this app is supposed to be used with TVs)

app installs, but keeps crashing again and again

As far as I understand, this is an app for viewing models from different angles. It is not supposed to use a 3D-Display feature
[Device Reviews and Information] YuriRM:
Thanks! Now I remember that some of these apps are for Android 6.
[Device Reviews and Information] io2345:
Just found out, that the 26 Dec. ROM already has the camera bug (didn't try the camera so far). That means, that - in order to use the main camera - you will have to wait around 10 minutes after phone boot, until the selfie cam starts and after that do a hot reboot, to get the main camera working as well. Sad situation, as this means, that this Version has the same bug as the Android 6 Version. You think you can fix that, Mich-C?
[Device Reviews and Information] YuriRM:
Bug in power for cameras GPIO pins in codegen

Sorry, but Eye-Tracking test results are valid after the hot reboot only... when the whole KitKat system is stabilized. You must discard all your previous test results on 3D video and cameras... even those on the requested instalation of 3D apps. The mechanism was not working for sure, detection errors can arise!

Is it possible to fix the camera troubles of LuckasFB ROMs? Is there a bug in power for cameras GPIO pins in codegen? [MENTION=5128870]Mich-C[/MENTION], I have prepared a summary on that subject. You may need to read LuckasFB's posts on 4PDA too.

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=78816655&postcount=1337

LuckasFB claimed to have tried by hand hundreds of combinations for GPIO pins. Automatic testing of GPIO pins (fast generation and testing of sequencial combinations) is needed. Can you write a program module to do this iteration by a mathematical subroutine at run time?

Traditional tools

[Device Reviews and Information] io2345:
At least one good news: No crashes with Mich-C player and no significant lags now.

Did not change behaviour when installing/using the requested apps, though. Just the same than before.

Tried the 24 Dec version of LuckasFBs KK-ROM meanwhile, hoping that the camera was still working there, but sadly that's not the case. Have to use the same procedure to get it working.
[Device Reviews and Information] Mik-el:
[MENTION=7147494]YuriRM[/MENTION] The steps for the rom are:

1) Develop a new Nougat rom that can boot

2) I'll use those tools to dump the information related to the gpio pins

3) I'll post everything I get also on the general Rom Development Forum Section. Someone will surely help us

P.S. Yesteray I posted a summary of what we are doing on the 4pda forum, I also left the link to this thread and I asked for a used Takee. We only got 1 reply and according to the translator it doesn't seem flattering https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=589200&st=3720
[Device Reviews and Information] YuriRM:
The PDA user [MENTION=7246285]dimonik[/MENTION]od is right... your text is a just a mess in all languages! Neither could I understand your message in a translation into three languages. Let us draft a new summary to post there. A well thought text is required to gain credibility at the PDA forum. My advice is to delete your two posts at PDA forum immediately to control damages! Or to edit them in order to copy/paste an immaculate summary, including correct links to our XDA thread and your profile. Otherwise, your project will never gain the trust of our russian partners. First impressions are crucial. The three members of the development team should agree on the content and style of our publications in the PDA forum. Russians do not like foreigners in their forum. For example, they thrashed, rejected and ignored the french language guy that discovered the hot reboot solution for the rear camera bug of LuckasFB ROM. They were really hostile to him and never gave him credit for his discovery. Therefore, we must thread cautiously.
[Device Reviews and Information] Mik-el:
[MENTION=7147494]YuriRM[/MENTION] That's what I've done:

1)I tryed to write in a simple way

2)I used google translate that is better than many other translators

3)I originally wrote my message in italian instead of english, since italian has lot more words and it's much more accurate than english. Writing my original message in english would have been much worse, trust me

EDIT

At this point the only idea I have is to write a quick summary in english and then ask some russian user on xda to translate it
[Device Reviews and Information] Mik-el:
[MENTION=9049073]Nαi[/MENTION] is a russian friend who helped me complete completing the 4pda registration captcha last month. He was very kind :) Nαi, would you like to help us in the translation of our text after we decide its definitive form? (you could also just fix the automatic translation instead to speedup the process)

[MENTION=7147494]YuriRM[/MENTION] Here's my message in Italian, I think I described the situation in an endearing way. I think I just need to add infos about you and [MENTION=6026343]io2345[/MENTION], since you absolutely deserve it, and 4pda users will be more convinced seeing more people involved in the project

[Interessanti novità per il nostro Takee1] :)
Salve a tutti ragazzi.
Mi chiamo Mich-C.
Sono un ragazzo italiano che studia ingegneria informatica e nel tempo libero mi dedico al mondo android.
Chiedo scusa per il mio russo ma sto utilizzando Google traduttore. (Se ci sono problemi posso lasciare una copia dei miei post anche in inglese.)

Circa 2 anni fa ho iniziato a sviluppare una nuova rom per il takee1 basata sul firmware stock, ci sono stati problemi ma ultimamente ho ripreso lo sviluppo grazie agli incoraggiamenti di altri due utenti.
Se vi fa piacere potete unirvi a noi sul nostro thread di xda-developers.
Fino ad adesso ho già rilasciato 2 nuovi video player per il takee1!

Gli sviluppatori della Estar stavano lavorando ad una nuova versione del video player 3d ma hanno interrotto lo sviluppo quando l' azienda è purtroppo fallita. Per fortuna uno degli sviluppatori ha rilasciato l'ultimo codice sorgente, io l'ho ripreso in mano e lavorando su di esso ho rilasciato il nuovo player.
L' altro player su cui lavorato è una versione modificata del player stock, un mio tester l' ha provato ed anche esso è risultato funzionante :)

Il mio prossimo progetto include una App Youtube 3D per il nostro takee e una nuova Rom: Android Nougat per Takee1!!!
Ecco qui il nostro thread su xda: [link] ed ecco il mio profilo: [link]

Ho detto "un mio tester" dato che il mio takee è praticamente distrutto. (allego fotografie :( )
Ho bisogno di un nuovo device per proseguire nello sviluppo. In Italia quasi nessuno ne possiede uno. Se avete un vecchio takee che volete donare per lo sviluppo (anche tramite compenso) fatemi sapere.

Saluti a tutti.

[Device Reviews and Information] YuriRM:
Thanks for the original text in italian language!

I have amended my text on "credits of the developer" to include direct links for each of your Top 5 achievements. Now is much easier to check your work and download it for testing. The guys at 4PDA will appreciate that.

We should ask [MENTION=2105197]s7yler[/MENTION] for permission to include all stock firmware, custom ROMs and eye-tracking apps at the front page.

NOTE - I have also amended my text on "Credits of my support team at XDA"

NOTE 2 - The reputation of dimonikod was cut in half to level 3, today. He may have been punished for his offensive comment to your post. No one else replied. They may be waiting for a better version of your proposal, for improved reading.

Translation back into the original language (russian into italian)

This is the retroversion (translation back into the original language) of your text from russian into italian. This way you can detect your errors.

[Notizie interessanti per il nostro Takee1!] :)

Ciao a tutti i ragazzi.

Mi chiamo Mich-C.

Sono un ragazzo italiano che studia ingegneria informatica e nel tempo libero mi dedico al mondo di Android.

Mi scuso per il mio russo, ma io uso il traduttore di Google. (Se ci sono problemi, posso lasciare una copia dei miei messaggi anche in inglese.)

Circa 2 anni fa ho iniziato a sviluppare una nuova ROM per Takee1 basata sul firmware di serie, c'erano problemi, ma alla fine ho ripreso lo sviluppo grazie al supporto di altri due utenti.

Se vuoi, puoi unirti a noi nella nostra filiale xda-sviluppatori.

Finora, ho già rilasciato 2 nuovi lettori video per Takee1!

Gli sviluppatori di estar hanno lavorato a una nuova versione di un riproduttore video tridimensionale, ma hanno smesso di svilupparsi quando la società, sfortunatamente, ha fallito. Fortunatamente, uno degli sviluppatori ha rilasciato l'ultimo codice sorgente, l'ho preso e, lavorando su di esso, ha rilasciato un nuovo giocatore.

L'altro giocatore a cui stai lavorando è una versione modificata del giocatore di riserva, uno dei miei tester lo ha provato e ha funzionato bene anche :)

Il mio prossimo progetto include un'applicazione Youtube 3D per il nostro utente e un nuovo Rom: Android Nougat per Takee1 !!!

Ecco il nostro thread xda: http: // link non valido / 2tL9Mvh, ed ecco il mio profilo: http: // link non valido / 2NBnhqB

Ho detto "il mio tester" perché il mio destinatario è stato quasi distrutto. (Allego foto :()

Ho bisogno di un nuovo dispositivo per continuare lo sviluppo. In Italia, quasi nessuno. Se hai un vecchio destinatario che vuoi donare allo sviluppo (anche attraverso un compenso), fammi sapere.

Un saluto a tutti
