That's what I thought, but it's difficult to argue with them :(

You could check if the avc codec (OMX.MTK.VIDEO.ENCODER.AVC) supports profile 4. I use hardware info to see detailed information for the codecs.

If it's so maybe the rom could be adapted to the ht7 pro, after all they share a lot of the same hardware (but then they could be using a different set of peripherals).

Will do, thank you.
[Device Reviews and Information] moriel5:
I'll do this later and report back.

And it'll be better to build from source (and while we're at it, perhaps use Nougat, perhaps even CM14).

There are kernel sources on SnowCat4PDA's GitHub page, as well as the GitHub page where he forked them from (to build a device tree for the Doogee X5 Pro).
[Device Reviews and Information] lipippo:
Thank you!

Oh, I'd love to, but while I'm an experienced linux user and sysadmin, I have zero knowledge of the android ecosystem, so I don't think I can pull it off :(

besides...

...homtom never released the kernel sources for any of its phones, so I don't know if/how I can build a suitable kernel/devicetree for my phone.
[Device Reviews and Information] moriel5:
My pleasure, I am also an avid computer freak.

From what I have read, it should be "relatively" simple, other than fixing bugs because of drivers and the like.

You could start by compiling TWRP, I think, I am an intermediate Linux user (although it's much easier than Windows, partially because it's easier to remember the names of the commands, but still, I have a horrible memory when it comes down to names and terms).

Doogee had never released any kernel sources either, this had apparently started out on a device codenamed "ark m7" (I haven't checked which device it is yet).

They have the same chipset, so the kernel sources are the same, it's just the compiling that is done against different device trees.
[Device Reviews and Information] Tzul:
It doesn't appear to be supported.

Well, the GPU core doesn't actually do video encoding/decoding. That's a common misconception. SoCs usually contain dedicated functional units (DSPs) for that. ARM has implemented their own video codec as "Mali video", but as far as I know, it has to be licensed separately, and Mediatek still uses their own codec implementation.
[Device Reviews and Information] lipippo:
Bummer :(

OK so maybe homtom is right when they say the phone is not compatible.

OTOH the mediatek page for the 6753 claims "video encoding and decoding up to 1080p at 30fps" and "video encoding h.264" (though the 6735p could be different).
[Device Reviews and Information] moriel5:
You'll be wanting this, it's about both the MT6735M and the MT6735P.

[Device Reviews and Information] lipippo:
Thank you. I'll try later, now mega always gives me a "decryption error"

Edit: found the advice about skipcheck=1

Edit2: I had a quick read and it claims "H.264 encoder: High profile 1080p @ 30fps", but it's for the M6735, not the P variant.
[Device Reviews and Information] moriel5:
Yeah, I had forgotten about the decryption thing.

And if so, then we'll need to verify this on the X5 Pro.

I'll be checking it in a few moments (I had been typing this entire time from a Nexus 4).
[Device Reviews and Information] moriel5:
And I can't seem to get the data, and Hardware Info just crashes on me.

I'll try using ES Task Manager.

Update: In the end, I had forgotten about ES Task Manger, since an old version of Hardware Info worked for me.

And no, it does not show, however it does show under the decoder.
[Device Reviews and Information] lipippo:
With SnowCat4PDA's kernel, stock 5.x or stock 6.0?

Maybe that's the difference between the MT6735 and MT6735P (the latter being less powerful and not able to encode h.264 at 1080p).
[Device Reviews and Information] moriel5:
As I had said, I still haven't had time to upgrade, so SnowCat4PDA's AOSP 6.0 ROM, therefore his 6.0 kernel.
[Device Reviews and Information] juancarloscuba:
so

I recently purchased a white/black Doogee X5 Pro and almost everything is fine with this telephone EXCEPT the battery. It seems it's failed or something because with a 85% charge level it only gives me 17 HOURS of work!!! and not the mentioned in this wonderful topic. And it discharges very fast when the phone is in use. I calibrate the battery and it improves a little but not for a 2400 mAh battery. Comparative the Moto E 2015 I also own has a 2390 mAh battery and it lasts 2 days with a 85% charge level.

So, I think my battery is bad, or similar, another fact is when I check in the Setting - Battery it doesn't show the apps using battery since last full charge, it put "Using data not available" and nothing more.

I decided to buy a 3100 mAh replacement battery from the same provider... and praying in order to it works perfectly :)
[Device Reviews and Information] deton24:
Maybe try to charge battery with lower voltage with different charger.

You can also plug USB into computer to get around 500 mA. Eg. 1600 mA deteriorates battery, if it not have any quick/fast charge technology with adjusting voltage in fly. Still, it's worse for battery then normal 500 mA charging.
[Device Reviews and Information] juancarloscuba:
I use the Doogee charger with 700 mA output. The other chargers I have at home have a similar rate, from 500 mA to 1000 mA output. I also have charged the phone using the laptop USB port and the result was the same, a fast battery discharge... also I uninstall a lot of apps and don't use wifi/bluetoth all day. This weekend I will try using a 500 mA charger in order to compare. Thanks my friend
[Device Reviews and Information] moriel5:
Try using one of SnowCat4PDA's AOSP ROMs, you should get better performance, better battery life, and without any spyware and adware (unlike the stock ROM).

Plus, you could update to 6.0, 7.0, or even 7.1.1.

I personally use either my ASUS 1.3A, my Sony 1.5A, my 1.2 LG, my 1.8A LG, or my 1.0 Samsung chargers (the ASUS and Sony chargers were bought on Ebay), as they bring similiar results for me on my Doogee X5 Pro (~0.85A on the ASUS and Samsung chargers, ~0.8A on the LG chargers, and ~0.70 on my Sony chargers), which are much better than my Doogee charger's performance (~0.55A (equal to my 0.8A Phicomm charger), even my mother's 0.8A charger brings about ~0.7A on my Doogee X5 Pro).

But that is probably due to the kernel, try posting your results on the stock ROM.

And there is no 3010mAh battery for the Doogee X5 Pro, take of the fake sticker, and you'll find out that it is actually 2400mAh (hopefully it will still have life in it).

And 17 hours is nothing to sneeze at, especially on the stock ROM (I run a noGAPPS setup, so my battery life is better, around 12SOT, otherwise at least 2.5 days of battery life, and now that I use it without cellular (due to my acciddentaly breaking the antennae), it is even longer.

Meanwhile, my daily driver is a Nexus 4, on CRDroid 2.4 (Android 7.1.2) (again, noGAPPS), and the SINAI-Kernel (with the "bioshock" governor, and the CPU underclocked to ~1.0GHz (about 50MHz faster than the Doogee X5 Pro's default clock though), and I get a SOT of only around 6-8 hours (after replacing the battery (2100mAh), before it was about 1-2 hours), however lately there had appeared a battery leak, so my SOT had dropped to about 3-5 hours of SOT.
[Device Reviews and Information] juancarloscuba:
Thank you for your comments my friend. I don't like to install new ROMs because it's a process I don't feel good because I really didn't in a past... about the fake battery maybe you're right I will tell you as soon as I receive it, remember I live in Cuba and it's very difficult to buy anything. Maybe the Doogee Kernel has some problem with battery use and it drains the charge; meanwhile I will buy a power bank to supply energy because the phone works fine (unless the battery).

For now it seems the battery has improved something because I charged today and it gives me 1 day and 7 hours left... a big jump comparing with the beginning. I'm thinking about a kernel malfunction instead of battery problem... if you could help me about rooting and installing the new ROM I will appreciate very much.

Thank you

Juan Carlos
[Device Reviews and Information] moriel5:
I'll be glad to help out, especially since rooting and flashing new ROMs is really easy once you get hang of it (which does not take too much time).

Only one word of warning, though, avoid all "one-click root solutions", even if they will work, as they do more damage than they are worth (installing spyware, for example).

From your experience with the fake battery, I am pretty convinced that it is the official 2400mAh battery, wrapped in a misleading sticker.

It is a good thing that at least you got one in good condition.
[Device Reviews and Information] juancarloscuba:
Thanks my friend and if you have an easy method to root and install new ROM in my Doogee X5 Pro I will appreciate very much because I'm new in this topic and it's not the same as to installing a PC or Laptop new OS... I review the needrom website and there're some new ROMs for Doogee X5 Pro... so I don't know if it's better to install a new ROM or a better ROM. Waiting for your advice, thanks
[Device Reviews and Information] moriel5:
Sorry for the late post, I did not have time to post earlier today.

The only way I recommend to root, is by flashing TWRP with SP Flash Tool, and then flashing SuperSU from TWRP.

Flashing ROMs is just as straightforward, just flash them through SP Flash Tools.

You just have to make sure that the Recovery/ROM are compatible with the current firmware you have right now.
[Device Reviews and Information] juancarloscuba:
Don't be sorry, I'm downloading the Stock ROM from the DOOGEE community and I already have SP Flash Tool for the MT67xxx and so.... thank you
[Device Reviews and Information] moriel5:
You are most welcome, however you should know, that SP Flash Tool is for all MTK phones (it is developed by MediaTek, after all).

What is important is that you have a scatter file that matches your phone's CPU, as well as the drivers required for Windows to be able to access the phone's COM ports (unless, like me, you are running Linux, then you have no need for drivers).

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mountainfisher:
Im talking about when making a phone call, the screen goes off and does not return until 10 seconds after the call is ended. For it to work properly the screen should go off when around your ear or head, and when it is not it comes back on. The proximity sensor on the phone is to blame., Hopefully a software update will fix it.
[XDA Assist] gusget:
Being my first post on this huge place, I wanna thank all of the people that stands here and provide help support and wisdom for all of us who are new on the site, AND in the scene.

That said, my need:

I have a Tablet PC running 4.4.4 kitkat android device, with 312x rockchip processor, 1 gb ram, 8 gb rom, usb and micro usb, mini hdmi, bluetooth and wifi connectivity. I wanted to change the internal storage capacity, since like all chinese tablets, haas a 1 gb (0.98 gb to be precisely) and 6 gb of nand storage (5,28 aprox, i cant remember now, you will see next why). I wanted to change the parameter file so i can gain more space on the main storage (where apps are installed, as you may know), but there was no change. Suddenly, after a few tries, when it finished the booting process, now running the kitkat, in settings appear that the nand storage cannot mount, and every time i try to do it, it fails as it says "the nand storage can be safely removed". Now then, i have a 0.98 storage in the system, but no nand storage, so i cannot install nothing to the nand storage. I installed TWRP generic rom but for recovery only, and it works, but since the nand seems to be corrupted, i cannot modify at all nothing.

To modify the parameter file i dumped the entire rom of every single part of the tablet: system, kernel, cache, etc. With parameter file in hand, i used an hex calculator to modify values and gain the storage i needed (3 gb in internal, whatever it left to the nand storage) but nothing happened. Could the nand be corrupted? i still have the roms and the parameter as it was installed, tried to reinstall via batchtool 1.37 but there was no change.

Any help will be welcome and support will be thankful.

Thank you for reading this.

When i was shutting down some programs.

My MDA COMPACT III froze.

The last program i closes was device.exe :(

Now its hanging,

It goes through he O2 screen, the next screen stays on.

Back light keeps burning.

what am i supposed to do now?
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] Decaf:
I've had this a few times now. The latest was after I installed Opera and did a soft reset. I left the PDA for over an hour but it never came back responsive. After several soft resets I had to do a Hard Reset. (Hold down both Soft-Keys and Press the reset button in the hole on the side with the stylus). This WILL wipe all your data though.
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] Tha:
i already left it on for 5 hours, no changes where made.

i also left it laying on my desk with the battery removed.

no changes

In bootloader it doesn't get connected to my pc, so i can't flash any rom into it

[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] Tha:
when i do a hard reset, it goes into bootloader.

i press the soft-keys on side of the MDA (voice & power) put the stylus in.

it goes direct into bootloader when i pull out my stylus
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] soardiac:
that is not how a hard reset is done. dont press the buttons on the sides of the device. what you do is starting bootloader.

to do a hard reset do as described here in the wiki.
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] Shand359:
That's bootloader mode NOT a hard reset.

To perform a hard reset, press and hold two keys on FRONT of phone next to Red and Green call buttons while pressing reset button with stylus. Keep these TWO buttons held until text appears on screen asking you to "Confirm to Format". Press the GREEN call button and then sit back until the phone re-boots.

Then you have the good job of re-installing everything again.................at least the phone will now work though.

Anyway, very fine piece of Rom, even nicer when buggs fixed. :)
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] Furbious:
If you guys can post what you have installed, whether you have anything added in traylauncher, and if you overclock with batterystatus, that would be really helpful - It would be good to nail this problem down, as people have been having this kind of issue since v3.7, and I've yet to find anything in common.

As it stands, after I've disabled traylauncher, I've not had to hard reset for nearly a week now.
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] jorbi:
The first time my Orbit stuck just after installing Battery-Status as first Program after installing the new Rom to my Orbit. (I did not overclock at this time!)

I do not know what was second, but my device stuck after necessary soft-reset just after installing.

I installed B&B 4 again after the second hard-reset and it worked fine with dynamic overclocking from 143 to 247 MHz for 4 - 5 days. I felt as a lucky Guy :)

Yesterday I had to switched off the phone (not the device). As i wanted to switch on the phone some hours later it stuck. After waiting some Minutes and nothing happened, I did a soft reset and my Orbit hung in B&B-screen. A few soft-resets later I did a hardreset to get it back to work.
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] Furbious:
For those still having trouble with freezes on soft reset - have any of you still got the 6 tab home plugin?

Gullum posted this in the Dev forum, and that could be whats causing it - I'd gone back to 5 tabs, as it'd always set the phone to vibrate with appointments.

I'd forgotten that I'd done that, and that could well be whats fixing the issue.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M4riusz8:
Hi,

I just noticed strange thing when prowling in ESFile Explorer. My LOST.dir folder "takes" whole 143GB of data. I noticed that when I was cleaning my phone with SD Maid - when scanning it shows "only" 15GB ready to delete, but it finally fail every time. In Disk Usage it also shows so gigantic LOST.dir folder. Nor CCleaner help too. I rebooted my phone twice, but it gave no result.

The last few days I was playing N4S:NL, today it failed a couple times during the loading screen, so I decided to reinstall it. Suprisingly during the uninstallation process it didn't ask me if I want to uninstall data folder of the app too.

I can connect the phone to a PC with no issues, I thought that deleting LOST.dir in Windows Explorer can help, but I was mistaken.

Does any one have some advice what should I do? I would rather not to reflash the ROM or wipe it in recovery.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M4riusz8:

Anyone? :confused:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saber:
Can't you delete lost.dir folder manually using some file manager? Have you tried formatting the internal storage (Yes you will need to backup your files before doing this)? If this doesn't work, I recommend using a pit file to reconfigure all partitions on your phone, just make sure to

backup

!

Regards, gsstudios
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M4riusz8:
No, it is impossible to delete it in i.e. ESFile, it fails everytime. Now it became even worse, I got permanent notification, which says that i'm running low on memory and some system functions may don't work. In fact they don't, I can't take a screenshot, some apps fails to run.

Last time I updated CM with this built-in function, it replaced CWM with some CM Recovery. It is poor with its few options. There is no option to backup or flash rom. It's a shame because I have a backup taken just after flashing fresh LP.

I tried to format data/factory reset in there - no result.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M4riusz8:
After all I decided to switch back to CM11, this time with 4GB pit file. I remember it to be better optimized (it was running smoother on my phone) than CM12.1.

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crowsnestitsupport:
HI there!

Looks like the razor xt925 does support HDMI out:) You will need an HDMI cable with a standard Type A connector at one end and the Type D connector at the other (note that although it is visually similar, this is not compatible with micro-USB). Turn off the TV and the phone, connect the cable and then switch on your TV. Use your TV remote to switch to the HDMI channel, and then make sure your phone is switched on, the screen is on and the device unlocked. You should be good to go!
