P.s. - as I understood, you cannot use 2 sims and microSD-card, you can use 2 sims withous microSD or 1 sim and microSD - right?

No, slot is 2in1, so 2 sims or 1 sim + micro SD

I originally rooted mine with kingroot and then changed to supersu with super-sume pro. The first time I used it, it put me in a bootloop but second time was very easy. It cleans up all the kingroot files too.

Hi!

Just wondering if Ulefone if aware of the existence of these threads so they can hear what the users are saying about their phones and any problems we may have?

I know they are working on releasing a new android version that will hopefully resolve some of the problems but it would be a nice idea if they know about this threads!

Needless to say how desperate I'm to receive that update! ;)
[Android General] Alberto96:
Yes, Ulefone knows about these threads (I'm in direct contact with them) :)

I made them to fix that bootloop issue I had, with Android 6.0 every minor issue should be fixed.

I am unable to change the ringtone

Every time I try to change my ringtone it never sticks. Heck. I can't even get it to play any tone that's not in the default ringtones.

When I'm playing a song in my music player and go to options>set as>ringtone it says that the song has successfully been set as ringtone but it doesn't work :( Annoyingly, every time I go to the settings for general audio profile, I find that the phone ringtone is still the default one (party). I've even converted my favorite song to .ogg format and copied it into \system\media\ringtones

When I do that, the songs appear in the system settings pop up for choosing a ringtone. Sadly, selecting any of them does not play the song. Instead, it plays the default ringtone (party) even though I've selected a song I added myself. If I choose another one from the default tones such as night, it accepts and the setting sticks.

Is anybody else having this problem and how did you fix it?

SOLVED :) I just needed to change permissions of the files to 644 (rw-r--r--)

There is a custom ROM, if anyone is interested. It`s MIUI 8 and it`s adapted by Russian developer lenovoved from 4pda. You can find it here. You have to be 4pda registered user to download, and it would be better if you carefully read all warnings and recomendations in that post. They are in Russian, of course. If anyone is interested, I will ask lenovoved to allow me to translate and post it here.

By the way, new TWRP 3.1.1-0 for Ulefone Vienna image is on 4pda as well.

[Android General] gaich:
MIUI 8 ported for Vienna by Lenovoved (4pda)​

Version 7.6.17

Phone support is over, firmware developer doesn`t own this device anymore.

The only custom ROM for Ulefone Vienna up to date.Updates come by ОТА.

Android: 6.0

MIUI: 8

Kernel: 3.18.19

Size: 833 MB

Developers: Xiaomi, MIUI Russia, Lenovoved

Screenshots

What you need to know

The	front-facing camera records video in HD only, thus you have to choose HD before front camera video recording. It`s not ROM deficiency, but	hardware limitation.

The protective magnetic case with window cannot make the phone sleep or wake it, although the magnetic sensor itself is fully functional.

To enable panorama shooting, you should edit build.prop and change the following:

ro.product.manufacturer=Ulefone

to

ro.product.manufacturer=Xiaomi

No other problems were detected a.t.m.

Patches

Patch for centering clock in status bar:

enable - clock is centered

disable - back to default location

Patch for third-party themes

Patches should correspond the ROM version

Installation

You should run the latest Android 6.0 stock version (F5B_GQ3028AF2_13E_MM_VIENNA_20160830)

1. Place the downloaded zip to SD card.

2. Open TWRP, make "wipe" of dalvick, cache, system, data

3. Return to the main menu and press "Install", choose the zip and confirm swiping to the right.

4. The flashing lasts 3-5 minutes. When completed, press "Reboot to system".

5. First startup is rather long, some 5-8 min.

Download ROM from here (press the version number)

Latest TWRP 3.1.1-0 for Ulefone Vienna

Flash it in your current recovery using "Install image" button or flash via SpFlashtool with this scatter.

broken screen? repair is easy

To anyone with a Vienna with a broken screen, I can recommend https://www.aliexpress.com/item/New...r-Ulefone-Vienna-smart-phone/32802532168.html - turned up in the UK within 10 days of ordering, was a fairly straightforward job (just follow the teardown instructions on youtube and then heat around the edges with a hairdryer and insert a flat card at the top between the screen and the plastic edge and slide the card around, it just comes away) and worked perfectly.

Only caveat is I need to get some replacement adhesive because the glue that's left behind isn't enough to hold the new screen in place.

first impressions of Lenovoved's MIUI 8 ROM for Vienna

I have it running now. There is (as usual) good and bad.

Can't set system language to English (UK). You can choose English(US) and then select voice, spelling etc as English(UK), so it's not a major hardship.

There are some problems with Google apps integration:

I can't set Google Now Launcher as my home screen (not matter which method of the various ones on the internet I try) (if anyone fixes this, please let me know, I hate having no app drawer) - this is now working, not sure which hack it was that enabled it...

Downloading Offline Voice Recognition crashes the app, although it does now appear to have downloaded.

I wasn't given the option to restore my google apps at startup (a pain, but just means you have to install your apps yourself)​

On the good side:

It's a newer base, so we have Android v6.0MRA58K, with security patch level 2017-06-05.

As a result it also fixes the Bluetooth issues that I had with the stock 6.0, so the car navigation no longer cuts off three seconds early (losing the most important part of the instruction, usually :)).

Everything basically seems to work, except the things mentioned above and those mentioned in the "What you need to know" section of the post.

It's pretty quick. There seems to be less of the occasional lags than I was getting on stock.

Fingerprint auth seems slightly more reliable than it was before, although that may be wishful thinking.

I'll be keeping this as a daily driver, even with the negatives, mainly because of the bluetooth fix, which has been driving me mad on stock for the last year :)

one caveat: I think I messed up the lineup of the proximity grommit when I replaced the screen, so it wasn't working on the stock version, so I can't confirm whether or not it works on this ROM. edit: fixed my hardware, proximity works fine :)

Any questions about the ROM, feel free to ask, I'll answer if I can :)

Edit: Google Assistant appears to be enabled, judging from the settings screen. I haven't had a chance to try it though (sat in the office!)

Edit2: I'm having some trouble with my cheap bluetooth headphones: they seem to be dropping packets, which they weren't doing yesterday, so it may be reasonable to blame the ROM (processor related?). Will have to investigate.

[Android General] Marsbar:
Not noticeably worse, I would say. First day of a new flash is impossible to judge, because there's so much setting up and downloading and installing.

Did you mean battery screenshots? I've attached what I can get. As you can see I plugged In a few times just so I'd still have juice now, I don't normally get more than a day's use from it.

Please help me.

How do you get into recovery mode?

I can not.
[Android General] Marsbar:
Assuming you have stock 6.0, turn off. Then keep "up volume" button pressed, and press power button until buzzer, then release power button while still holding "up volume" button until a 3-line text appears, with a selection ">". move the ">" with the "up volume" key until it points to "recovery" then press "down volume" button.

You can press download link for the latest version, but, as far as I know, it is very unlikely to be fixed.

Did you root your Vienna?
[Android General] Marsbar:
Download the stock Marshmallow ROM from the ulefone site, then use spflashtool to flash. You don't need to get into recovery for that, just follow the spflashtool instructions - you'll just need to power off the phone and connect it to USB.
[Android General] xn0live:

[Android General] FbHunter:

Thanks a lot for the help. It worked, I could do it.

The rom is already installed. I was sad about one thing, the rom is not supported in Brazilian Portuguese ????

How can I get it?
[Android General] drevel123:
If the language isn't pre-installed, it is impossible to add it, I am sorry.

But you can change the locale so that all apps will be in your language. The rom itself won't be translated this way, but at least you can use the apps the way you want.

Edit: You could use this app for example: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wanam

[Android General] Blasrboom Strice:
I tried to root it, but I failed. The steps in the guide for drivers installation were a little not exact, so that's probably what caused the fail. I retried today to root my phone, but I found out that I couldn't get into the page with the rooting steps. Can you, please, repost the guide for drivers installation link? As far as I remember, cuz much time has passsed since I last tried to root my phone, I had a question; On what windows version should I download these drivers?

---------- Post added at 02:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:25 PM ----------

Oh, I found out that there is a problem and ulefone blog cant be seen (at least in my country). I would also like to ask, whether another way of rooting the ulefone vienna 6.0 has come up.
[Android General] gaich:
Sorry, cannot understand what I have to repost exactly. No other way to root, as far as I know.
[Android General] Blasrboom Strice:
OK, I will try update you again when I retry (in a few days), 'cause the blog website is now able to load. I dont want to say much because I dont think this post is relevant with development of Ulefone Vienna.

[Android General] gaich:
Yes, something is wrong. Are you sure phone is turned off?
[Android General] Blasrboom Strice:
Yes! (I have turned it off, but maybr should I have it in recovery mode and choose the adb option from there?)I dont know what's the problem tho. The only thing was out of the ordinary was that when I installed the drivers (MTK usb cable etc.) it only showed me the MTK usb cable drive and not the rest drivers.(I mean step 16, which I have attached a pic. Also, when I plugged the phone to the pc, it was saying that it was downloading the drivers for 3 mins. Could this be the problem? I used windows 10, cuz the windows 7 pc has a problem with internet connection.

P.S. I put the the recovery image and the scatter file in the sp flash tool file, as you told me to do.
[Android General] Blasrboom Strice:
OK, I installed tge twrp. It was tge drivers. I followed the steps, but tgey didnt work. I nothiced though, that when I pliggeg the phone, for a moment the system said that they were installed. So I ran tge flashtool and I plugged the phone. The the system recognised it for a few moments, but the flashtool did its job.(Reached 100% at the bottom of the window, the time started recoring ,not 0.00, and the OK square appeared.)After this, installed the supersu file. Now I lm encountering another problem; I cant get to the recovery mode. I searched a little in this thread and I found out that I probably have to flash the 6.0 rom again. Any ideas how to do it without losing any of my apps data?
[Android General] gaich:
Use this to get to recovery.
[Android General] Blasrboom Strice:
I checked it before, it says that it isnt available in my country. Thanks anyways for your time. But, can I ask something? Whenever Ill try to get in recovery mode only the twrp mode will come up, not default one (unless I delete it), right?
[Android General] gaich:
TWRP replaces the default one when you flash it.
[Android General] Blasrboom Strice:
OK. I managed to get in recovery mode via adb after watching a vid in YT (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVvsDO_pef0). You said that the twrp recovery replaces the old one, but the default came up. So, I tried to flash the twrp a few times again ( OK square showed up) and get to recovery, but the default only came up. I guess the problem must be either the phone drivers or the fact that I have to factory reset the phone. To conclude, I probably have to wait till Kingroot makes a strategy to root my phone, since I dont think Im able to solve the problems my phone has by myself. Thanks for your support and your time.
[Android General] gaich:
Please do not use kingroot, it cannot root our phone at the moment. You should just follow the guide I have posted.I`ve got two Vienna phones, everything goes right with both of them. Root comes in 10 minutes.
[Android General] Blasrboom Strice:
How did this slipped my mind?!! I can use helium to backup all the data from the apps I want and be able to factory reset the phone, in order to successfully use your strategy, Gaich!!!!

Edit; In windows 10 and windows 7 PCs, the helium app couldn't find the phone.
[Android General] Blasrboom Strice:
Hello, I'm back. I recently saw a video about flashing a recovery img through adb commands. I was wondering if this could work on our phone (on 6.0 OS). Do you know if my data will be deleted? I will probably not use that method, since It think my phone will be stuck on bootloader or something like this, but I would just like to know. The video is this; [youtube]YfWYKREeQeQ[/youtube]
[Android General] drevel123:
I don't know whether there is a custom recovery for this phone, but if there is, there should be no problem flashing it. Do a backup of the stock recovery though ;)

And NEVER flash an recovery image of another phone!

Your data will not be delted by flashing a recovery. But the bootlloader has to be unlocked first and unlocking the bootlloader WILL wipe all of your data.
[Android General] Duper User:
Hi people. Bad news. Flashed a wrong TWRP recovery via adb (not actually wrong, but older version) and it can't finish doing its job. Phone boots into recovery, then it says "Done processing script file. Renamed stock recovery in..." then it reboots again into recovery and then again and again... And it never stops. Please help! :crying:

I can't even turn off the phone.

Oh, wow... I think I fixed it! Pressed all buttons (vol +, vol -, power and the "recorder" button), which somehow prevented the phone from booting into TWRP (it was just vibrating), then managed to flash the stock recovery via flash tool while holding them all with one hand... LOL.

Definitely fixed. All data is wiped but who cares after such a dramatic resurrection.
[Android General] Duper User:
ROOT Granted! Woohoo!
[Android General] Blasrboom Strice:
Otto, I've been trying to find a way to get into recovery after I upgraded the phone to 6.0 (very long ago), but I think the only way I've found is through adb. That's not very helpful for the twrp (it has to boot into twrp once it's flashed otherwise it'll probably be overwritten by the default one). Your method seems to be good. Could you please tell me exactly which rom version you have? (I think there re some variants of the 6.0 versions, like the one of 30/8/2016, which I use.) If that doesn't work, then I might have to re-install the rom to make it work (as I think some others have said), but this kinda cancels the purpose of trying to flash the twrp, as I also want to ~fully back my phone. Btw, my phone takes ~10minutes to boot up normally, so it's a bit hard to know if the phone is trying to boot upin normal mode or in recovery (or if it's stuck in bootloop). This probably happens because I have ~500 apps and I have almost filled up its space.
