iv updated from R05 to R09 (offered directly, not like the past from R02 to R05) via OTA (they fixed the OTA server couple of days ago). off course you also need to be completely stock to be able to update properly

about keeping apps in memory, you need xposed framework+ "AppSettings" module - 1.13 version (xposed doesn't work on stock rom though.. very problematic - try other ported roms like wolder wiam 34, ulefone tiger,RR...)

once you set up xposed working,open app settings module. find the app you want to keep in memory then check "resident in memory), save and try
[Device Reviews and Information] ilyadan:
I have old LCD on my HT17Pro that came with R02. The R09 update downloaded from HomTom site (flashed with SP) works fine. I have no screen problems or any other new issues.
[Device Reviews and Information] Reeztaa:
Not for me, i still have screen problem with R09... :(

Ported ROM work better for me, better performance and better screen... ??
[Device Reviews and Information] KyrXDA:
In sp flashtools connect it

without

battery.

BTW i've never had so many difficulties in rooting a phone - no bootloader at all.

Of course after flashing TWRP (remember- no battery) i had no trouble flashing SU.

R09 messed up settings, i do not see System UI Tuner anymore.
[Device Reviews and Information] OT-Xtreme:
no bootloader? you ment no fastboot. bootloader is off course there (uboot.img) like every device in the world that have operating system, something need to load it..
[Device Reviews and Information] Stefan_Eberle:
One more question: if I flash twrp - just imagine it works ;) - via spflashtool, will everything be deleted or will my apps and settings remain?

[Device Reviews and Information] OT-Xtreme:
flashing twrp alone doesn't touch any user data at all
[Device Reviews and Information] Stefan_Eberle:
OK, I´ll give it a try! Keep your fingers crossed!!

Edit:

I did it!! I just used the newer version of TWRP (3.0.3) and it worked in the first attempt!!

Thank you all!

Hi [MENTION=6826301]OT-Xtreme[/MENTION], which xposed framework do you recommand??
[Device Reviews and Information] vo-1:
http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=783210&view=findpost&p=57269752

lineage os 14.1
[Device Reviews and Information] OT-Xtreme:
either official by rovo89 or magisk

both cases select the newest (87+) arm64 and sdk23
[Device Reviews and Information] Mr.Ratio:
So xposed framework working on ours phone or not?
[Device Reviews and Information] UndyingX:
Working, but only with custom ROM.
[Device Reviews and Information] Reeztaa:
Hi, how to install xposed to ht17pro....? I'm using ulefone tiger ported rom.
[Device Reviews and Information] Stefan_Eberle:
Hmm, thats not so good, I wanted to stay on stock rom :(

BTW: if I decide to change into custom rom, which one should I try? And how do I flash it, via SP-Tool or via recovery??
[Device Reviews and Information] Mr.Ratio:
R09 still do not have encryption function. Why HomTom cut this?!
[Device Reviews and Information] TacoLoco:
This is really great, I tried to flash with TWRP 3.02 and 3.03 but it doesn't flash, allways says that the ROM is for another device! Also TWRP 3.02 and 3.03 give different model name? I think problem is the recovery and not the ROM.. Can someone a Recovery which has the correct device name?

Best Regards!
[Device Reviews and Information] OT-Xtreme:
for our ht17pro - except the stock rom, ANY other rom are full of bugs, are unstable at best, and feature-less, avoid
[Device Reviews and Information] Stefan_Eberle:
OK, so I'll stay at StockRom w/o xposed ;)

I want to use stock rom but i dont like it, it doesnt allow autostart for user apps, always kill/stop background process for user apps and bad screen.

Maybe just my HT17PRO...
[Device Reviews and Information] OT-Xtreme:
no here too.. there is a finally a CM 13 build in other forum, you welcome to try and tell us the results - although from my experience no other rom theb stock for our device is good enough

HT17 and HT 17 PRO are just a weak devices with a very average screen
[Device Reviews and Information] OT-Xtreme:
compared to the price,the ht17pro at 75usd if you find it - is a very good return-over-investment device.

there are some issues off course,like the slow charging, average speaker, not so optimized software, and lack of proper development (like MOST mtk based phones)
[Device Reviews and Information] jan177:
that is what I and many thought at pre-sale.

Now more than often it is in 85USD range but even buying lower I would see the problems which everyone agrees with you it has. Mediocre screen, weak speakers, weak GPS, not optimized software.

For a better phone I gladly add 15USD

For a better price at 65USD one can choose faster, better screen/ speaker units
[Device Reviews and Information] OT-Xtreme:
yes, iv bought it cause my lg g2 got screen jitters (most lg phones have serious Quality Control issues... ), and to fix it will cost more then cheap "good" china phone,so its a temporary device until il have enough money to buy OP3T or PixelXL etc.

development is picking up slowly, although in the ht17 (non-pro) it have more development for some reason
[Device Reviews and Information] bruce024:
do you resolve problem for your ht17
[Device Reviews and Information] OT-Xtreme:
anyone knows how to make xposed framework works for stock rom of ht17pro? tried a lot of of methods (also magisk systemless), nothing works

please any advice
[Device Reviews and Information] Labrence:
Yes, I do.

I have set up two devices (HT17 Pro) with R09 rom. Both have last seen issues.

WhatsApp last seen does not work anymore after the device has been screen locked for about a minute or longer. It can be reactivated again by pressing home screen long, swiping away whatsapp and reopening it again, but with next screen lock for a short while, the problem resurfaces. Rebooting does not fix it, only swiping it away and restarting it.

I have tried switching back and forth last seen in WhatsApp in privacy settings from everyone to nobody and back several times, have background intelligent power saving off and WhatsApp excluded from battery optimization

WiFi is always on (problem happens on mobile data, too, anyway), background data is not restricted.

I never had a device before running Android 6.0, so I have to ask: Is this a problem, which is related to this particular model of phone (this rom)? Or maybe related to Android 6.0?

Anyone can help?

HT17 Pro issues

[MENTION=8063532]Labrence[/MENTION] :

Whatsapp is a minor problem.

Xposed Framework is the most serious problem.

Xposed Framework works only on my Ulefone Tiger ported rom for HT17 Pro.

You will have to give up to the fingerprint.

But if it is a choice between fingerprint or Xposed Framework,

I choose Xposed Framework without a moment's hesitation.

[Device Reviews and Information] Labrence:
[MENTION=7332068]Cleopatra Bianchi[/MENTION]: So your rom has the WhatsApp last seen issue, too? Or did I read that wrong?

[MENTION=464840]other[/MENTION] custom rom users: Do your roms have the issue?

btw: I read in this thread that at least one person had trouble with getting WhatsApp notifications. I do not have this problem, even when device is locked for a few hours. With Whatsapp I only have the last seen problem.

Any stock rom users not having the last seen issue?
[Device Reviews and Information] Reeztaa:
For now, I think the most stable custom rom for HT17PRO is LineageOS 13, fingerprint scanner work, xposed work too. Gestures not work.

[MENTION=7743459]Reeztaa[/MENTION]:

Thank you!

Would you be so kind to give me a pointer, where I can download it?

Also, do you know, whether WhatsApp last seen works on that rom?
[Device Reviews and Information] Cleopatra Bianchi:
@Reeztaa :

A video inside your phone, or a YouTube video ?

@Labrence :

Is there the Engineer Mode into Lineage OS 13 ?
[Device Reviews and Information] Labrence:
I don't know, I haven't tried LineageOS 13 yet, would still appreciate a pointer to where I can find it.

Stock R09 has access to engineering menu via dialing *#*#3646633#*#*
[Device Reviews and Information] Cleopatra Bianchi:
Before to tell to the community that the Lineage OS 13 is the most stable, please run several tests on it.

The Lineage OS is the successor of the CyanogenMod.

There was not any Engineer Mode onto CyanogenMod.

I hope that they have been included the Engineer Mode onto Lineage OS.

:)
[Device Reviews and Information] Labrence:
It wasn't me who said so, it was Reeztaa.
[Device Reviews and Information] Cleopatra Bianchi:
Do not worry. The aim is not to find a scapegoat.

We are sharing points of view to improve the HT17 Pro.

[Device Reviews and Information] OT-Xtreme:
so what can be done to make xposed framework work on stock roms? what's the problem on the stock exactly that makes xposed bootloop/hang on startup
[Device Reviews and Information] Cleopatra Bianchi:
Xposed experiment

One possible solution might be the next :

1) Copy all Xposed folders/files onto Ulefone Tiger ported rom for HT17 Pro (where Xposed works well).

2) Paste all Xposed folders/files onto the same path on HT17 Pro stock firmware.

But it is not so easy ... and the success is not guaranteed.
[Device Reviews and Information] Reeztaa:
[MENTION=7332068]Cleopatra Bianchi[/MENTION]

Both offline and online, phone reboot only if i rotate while playing the video.

No engineer mode in Lineage OS.

Gallery app sometime slow,

Cant use the camera in panorama mode.

Not sure about Whatsapp i dont use it.

But fingerprint and exposed work. :)

GPS problems HT17

Does anyone else also experience GPS problems with the HT17? I have two of these phones and both are not getting a GPS fix. I tried about all stock roms between version 03 and 13. Apps like google maps only seem to find an approximate location via wifi signals and tools like 'GPS Status' and 'GPS Test' are showing me the satellites are 'in view' (I think that means AGPS knows the sat locations from the net) but no signal or fix at all (zero)...

I checked with other phones without problems (like qualcomm based Z5C and RN3, also MTK based Doogee X5S) but the two HT17 phones are simply not giving me a fix. Tested it outside with a clear view of the sky. Any clue what may be wrong here?

It's a HT17 (not Pro) and the build number string is HOMTOM-HT17-Android_6.0-R13-20161227. What's the difference besides amounts of RAM/ROM anyway? Are the firmwares not compatible between HT17 / HT17Pro?

Homtom Ht17 pro Stop Charging

I need help: My homtom ht17 pro since yesterday stop charging.

I plugged in and it charged only 5 % ( 25% to 30%) then there was no notification light, not green or red. This morning I turned off the phone, remove the battery and It charged ok until 100 % when turned off.

Now I have tried charge and the same happens again: when it is turned on just charge 5%, then stop and no charger plugged in notification. I have this phone since 6 months and everything was fine until now. What could happened? Sorry for my bad English, but isn´t my native language, as you can see.
[Device Reviews and Information] N10A:
Maybe it's the USB port not working properly.
[Device Reviews and Information] Lauramkt:
Maybe is the USB port, but I don´t think so. But the funny part is that now, after restart into safe mode, remove/inserts SIM cards, uninstall/install many apps( I even though that could be Greenify) the phone just charge until 100% when turned on and won´t charge when turned off. After charged, it goes down until 80% and then stay at this value, reboot by himself, and only after reboot I got the real value . When fully charged phone goes to Deep Sleep, but after some time I see that something kept my phone awake, even with Greenify running. And I can´t calibrate the battery , because it won´t charge when turned off. Some bug, I will wait to see if it disappears after some charges and reboots.
[Device Reviews and Information] luattic:
Hi,

I also had a similar problem with my HT17Pro, it was 80% charged and remained at this charge for a few hours, after a while, I turned off the phone, removed the battery for 1 minute, and Once handed the charge was 100%, I started the device, I let it empty to turn off alone and then I was able to recharge it to 100%. I think the problem came from the fact that I was testing between different roms (using TWRP) and the battery to get lost in its load accounts. For some days I have not had this problem.

I need help rooting

Can someone help me root my HT17Pro? I don't have a computer I could use for it and king root and other one click root apps don't work on my phone.
[Device Reviews and Information] luattic:
You need a computer to do this,

"one click root" is dangerous in terms of security.

Anyway a pc must be used to flash through ADB the recovery (TWRP) and then be able to use a "supersu.zip" update (it grant root access).
[Device Reviews and Information] SFNickPL:
Thanks, is there any video I could follow to help me root my phone using a PC ?
[Device Reviews and Information] luattic:
For the video I can not do anything,

But for the procedure, there is @Cleopatra Bianchi which made the necessary by producing a "TWRP" and a tutorial to put it in place, once done, you will have to install superSU.zip from the "TWRP" freshly installed.

Can i ask your impression about ht17 PRO? Is it a good phone? Does it manifest problems? How good is its display?

Thanks! :P
[Device Reviews and Information] luattic:
Hi,

All in all it is a good product, screen, touchscreen, gps, LTE, finishes, fingerprint, everything works perfectly and is of good quality.

The value for money is excellent for me.

-With the official stockrom (R09) the only worry in my case is that almost all apps having to launch automatically when the device boots (on boot completed) do not do it, I have to use macrodroid (or other to automate the launch).

-In my case, I use the phone as a 4g modem, so my others devices are connected to the access point of the HT17Pro, and I have to enter the DNS manually because in my case they are not automatically transmitted by DHCP.

These are the only two negatives points I have encountered.

I have tried many versions of non-official rom and the problems of automatic startup and DNS transmission do not exist with it, but I have encountered some others problems with the fingerprint, the camera, the audio volume (very low) and sometimes the degraded display or access point issues due to rom porting effect.

Actually i use my own debloated version of (R09) stockrom rooted.

I'am currently testing the version of 'lineage OS 14.x' (android 7.1.1) available on a Russian site for the past few days and for now seems to be fine, but it takes time to be sure.

(Sorry for the language I am helped by google translate for but it is not perfect.)
[Device Reviews and Information] aiaco:
Do you mean installed app cannot be set to start automatically at boot?

Isn't available the "auto-start management" menu option in Settings->Security, where you can set/unset auto-start for the apps?

Too bad...

Have you already reported the above issues to homtom?

Last: what about screen brightness and colors? Are them good in your opinion?

Regards
[Device Reviews and Information] luattic:
-"auto-start management" menu option in Settings->Security doesn't exist in stock (R09).

i tried "autostarts" but don't work.

I think the problem come from the ways used by apps to get it. In fact, 'BootCompleted' intent does not seem to be handled by OS. It's what i Think but I am not a developper and my knowledge is limited. The problem is more strange cause some apps like 'macrodroid' start right after bootcompleted. i don't really know why one app can do it and another do not do ...

-DNS problem occure only when HT17Pro's access point is used, and is not really a big problem because i can define it myself on attached devices using "google dns".

-no, i haven't reported the above issues to homtom because i can't find the way to do it (no address to feedback).

-screen brightness and colors are good, if you use "auto lighting adapter in setting (R09)" you can always control intensity as you need, you can use "Miravision in setting (R09)" to adjust "colors tone, RGB, Contrast, HDR style (dynamic contrast), saturation, color temp., sharpness" at you convenience. Camera and audio component are really correct. I do not have tested Bluetooth yet (i haven't any device using it).

To put it simply, despite the small inconveniences, I do not regret my purchase at all.

Custom ROM issues

For all considering flashing resurrection remix 5.7.4, please don't. The ROM works with xposed and fingerprint but I sometimes get bootloop with xposed after downloading a module and I'll have to uninstall and reinstall thr framework.

Apart from these problems, the ROM is so laggy and RAM management is sooo poor, Bluetooth doesn't work too, and battery drains too fast

I'm gonna restore my backup of my stock ROM in the mean time but I'm willing to try any other custom ROM that works with xposed and the fingerprint. Any ideas anyone

Somebody please reply
