Hello to all

unfortunately I am also in the same situation, I'm looking for the original rom the HomTom HT7 pro but I can not even find it on the official site, perhaps by installing the official rom will solve the problem.

I followed the whole thread with google translate but I couldn't find the sources for the unofficial cm12.1.

It says it's derived from the ark benefit cm12.1 (a thread that I didn't follow so I don't know if the sources are there).

Do you know a link to the sources, github, etc.?

Or is it just a "cooked" rom?

Well, the problem is that without sources you can't keep it up to date by yourself (especially if it uses the stock kernel).

[General Topics] lipippo:
But google translate does a particularly bad job with the comments in that site :(

Do you know if any of the port uses a custom kernel or they just took the kernel from the stock rom?

I'm asking because I think that the GPS is grossly inaccurate because of a bad driver/calibration, not because of the hardware (it has good reception, at least that's it what it reports), so maybe a different kernel could make the GPS usable.

Camera performance

Hello there,

I'm using 1.0.4. Sometimes I have to take pictures of documents or newspaper pages. My old phone general mobile discovery (gionee elife e3) was not bad on this issue. Unfortunately the document photos I took with the ht7 pro are very bad. I reported it with a homtom email but I do not think they will work for a solution. Are there any friends who have experienced this problem and have a solution?

Thanks in advance

Merhaba,

1.0.4 rom kurulu telefonumdan Bazen belgelerin ya da gazete kitap sayfalarının fotoğrafını çekmem gerekiyor. Eski telefonum general mobile discovery (gionee elife e3) bu konuda fena değildi.

It's my sisters phone and this rom has a lot of problems with play store and all...:(
[General Topics] Kilua90:
Since you are on xp vc 1.0.2 , in my opinion you cannot flash the twrp that made for 1.0.4 and you must download the twrp that suited for your version. This is my suggestion for xp vc 1.0.2 :-

http://www.needrom.com/download/ht7_pro_miui_v8_7-2-16/

1. Download the file at the link above which suited for your 1.0

2 i think :D

2. Root your phone using kingoroot or wtvr root you can use as long as you can get root acces.

3. Unlock your bootloader at the development tool at setting>above about phone. (Important)

4. Install flashify or rashr

5. Flash the recovery that you have downloaded.

6. After that boot to twrp and full wipe and flash the custom rom that you have downloaded.

Well, you can also use the manual method by using the sp flashtool to flash the recovery. Goodluck!

-use mega apk to download the file

-miui is the best :D :D

Hi #fadzlan kun

I have a Ht7 pro with 1.0.2 v2 with TWRP 3.0.2 and rooted. I've spent all weekend trying to flash a new rom, following your guide. This one http://www.needrom.com/download/ht7_pro_miui_v8_7-2-16/ give me an error when I'm flashing with flashify. And this one https://yadi.sk/d/feA7bEiD3EENsk ), give me bootlooping. Also, I've tried this https://xdaforums.com/general/general/homtom-ht7-pro-t3354975/page55 neither works :(

:crying::crying::crying: I don't know what to do. I'm run out of ideas.

Actually, I need this for another reason. I haven't got Mac Address and Bluetooth address and I don't know why. It just suddenly stops working. So, I tried every possible solution I found on internet with failure result. So, I thought maybe with a different rom it will be solved.

By the way, I realised that when I used Mktdroidtools, the info says MT6725P

When you flash the https://yadi.sk/d/feA7bEiD3EENsk what bootlooping did you get? Are you stuck and reboot in the setup wizard on the startup? Or state your problem :)

Dear Customer,

Please open the back cover of the phone and open all the screws on it.

The motherboard is inside the phone.

Then take a picture of the motherboard.There are characters on it.

I need to see the version of the motherboard so that i can send you a corresponding upgrade link.

Thank you.

Best regards,

I installed the CPU-z and sent the information. But the homtom insisted that the screws be removed.

Hi,

no, apps are not movable to sd.

talking about 1.1.7 it seems that i solve awake problem.

I make a factory reset, disable wifi under standby, put a sim card and microsd (64Gb Samsung evo that is recognized without any issue) because in the past i never put the sim.

I put alternative launcher (Nova)

after Xposed, Gravity Box, Dolby Atmos (to improve audio quality) with TWRP

Everything seems to work correctly, also dialing without any FC issues.

My only concerns is about smart wake.. no double tap to wake available and the gestures works only 50% of time :crying:

Audio seems to be too loud (is very strange, never find mediatek smartphone so high.. i lower it by MTK Engineering)

Build quality and materiale are cheap.. the junction between lateral frame (metal i guess??) and upper/lower plastic is very bad.. ant you can find sharp edges up and down.. not so happy for this ..

BTW we are talking about 80$ device.. not really bad for the price!

Battery is about 46g.. so i expect not really 3000mAh but 2400mAh more or less...

Your signal problem will be solved with 1.1.7 and I recommend it.

Just download it from the link above and open flashtool.exe

Firstly select Download tab. Then use MTK_AllInOne_DA.bin for download agent (there is in spflash file) and MT6735M_Android_scatter.txt for Scatter-Loading file (there is in firmware's file). It will automatically load all the necessary files and then press download. After that connect your (turned off) phone without battery and wait for the installation. This is it.
