System Partition Full

So next thing i wanted to do was install Xposed and Xprivacy, but i am coming up with some issues.

The biggest is that the system partition is full. I would normally use Titanium Backup to move apps from system, to user, but it hangs.

The doogee OS does not seem to have much in the way of app management, so How do i clean it up? should i do a reset? is there another mechanism to deal with it?

Is the 3D version being developed here too, or are they VERY different from the regular Y6 Max?

I've got the 3D version, peoples reactions are WOW! It might be a gimmick, but it's certainly impressive :)

[Android General] Alberto96:
Well Y6 Max ROMs should be compatible (maybe only the kernel needs to be replaced) with the Y6 Max 3D, but this 3D feature is proprietary so on Custom ROMs such as CyanogenMod/LineageOS or others you will lose it.
[Android General] YuriRM:
Unless you find a developer willing to try the available 3D drivers. TriDef 3D Gallery works fine in interlaced mode. Therefore, that is the way to go.
[Android General] Alberto96:
With no source code this is something hard to do. Proprietary Stuff can't be adapted so easily, it requires reverse engineering and much more.
[Android General] YuriRM:
The 4pda.ru team and XDA forum for the TAKEE 1 smartphone (JellyBean) have joined their efforts and hired a developer/programmer to port KitKat, Lollipop and Marshmallow. His name is [MENTION=4886266]luckasfb[/MENTION] from Ukraine. The KitKat custom ROM is based on CyanogenMod. It has already been delivered to us. He is now porting Lollipop.

The xda thread is no longer maintained by s7yler. Therefore, the initial page does not include several ROMs that have been developed by [MENTION=4546777]pogodancer[/MENTION], [MENTION=7409105]xTIMTIMx[/MENTION] , [MENTION=7838281]VladJocker[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4886266]luckasfb[/MENTION]

A similar initiative for Doogee Y6 Max 3D could be taken.
[Android General] YuriRM:
You can help the development of the 3D version by identifying and testing all available 3D apps (video players, 360° video players, cameras, photo galleries, etc.). Many apps have their own built-in 3D libraries but may rely on kernel support. However, a few of them do not rely on kernel 3D libraries. Do these 3D apps have a similar performance on Holographic-like effect to the native 3D videoplayer app of Doogee Y6 Max 3D? Then report back to us your list of approved apps. That will be very helpful to the developer/programmer of the custom ROM.

Congratulations! We have a winner. The first brick. :(

Afetr flashing

TWRP_303_DOOGEE_Y6_MAX_V3.07_20170118

my Y6 MAX successfully booted into perfect working TWRP. After reboot however it froze on splash.

I flashed it again and it didn't boot at all.

Complete brick.

Whenever I connect it to PC the sounds indicate looping connect/disconnect every few seconds. DAMN!

EDIT: Opening the phone and disconnecting the battery fix the issue, but took more than hour. Damn solid metal body!
[Android General] Palm Trees:
Did you forget to flash the stock recovery first/update to V3.07? Have you tried pressing whatever button combination boots it into the recovery from a cold power up?

Try giving the TWRP from movilesdualsim (by Feligres) a go if you succeed in booting the device.
[Android General] ZEMONTI:
Opening the phone and disconnecting the battery fix the issue, but took more than hour. Damn solid metal body!
[Android General] Palm Trees:
Great, did you manage to flash TWRP properly afterwards?
[Android General] ZEMONTI:
Still no time for that, but at least its not hard bricked. The rest is..........possible. :good:
[Android General] Feligres:
Did you install the SupeSU after installing the TWRP?

If you did not install it, the brick was for that...

Before opening the terminal, you tried to install a rom by flashtools...

I have brick the phone many times, and I've always recovered it with Flashtools

This is TWRP 3.1.0 the latest version:

I am trying to get this phone to operate properly in the US on att/cricket. It works fine most of the time but will randomly lose mobile data. What can be done to correct this?
[Android General] Palm Trees:
Try manually setting the APN settings according to your service provider (ATT/Cricket?). This is from Zi Reviews Tech's comments (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTj9Zhjlslw).

"I just sold mine, but if I'm correct you need to go into the "data usage" section of settings then click on the 3 dot settings on the top right to access "mobile networks""
[Android General] Ackms421:
That worked I think. Thank you. I can't believe there's not development happening for this phone. It is a beast at $150.

No problem :) Actually, there is development for this phone:

Hello, i cant instal Lineage OS or Aosp from needrom. I have the error Could not detect file system for dev/block/platform/mtk........ Assuming ext4. And it cant be Mount.

What is wrong here?
[Android General] Ackms421:
FYI, I never got this phone to work properly on cricket (att) here in the US. Mobile download would consistently but randomly not be available no matter what I did to the apn settings. Restarting the phone fixed it each time.

However I switched to Tmobile and apn settings updated automatically and the phone works great. Speeds are very comparable to actual 4G sometimes topping 7 or 8 mb per second. Fyi for anyone trying to use this phone in the US.

Hi. I'm not sure if it's ok to post this here, but im look for a complete, plain and simple process to get twrp and root on the y6 max. I've checked everywhere and nothing is clear for me. I'm looking for something in english(few sites/videos are in spanish and indian) and easy to understand, and clear. I just dont want to brick this phone that I just received today. I don't have money to ruin it by guessing my way through the process. I've rooted before, many other devices but zero experience with the sp flash tool. Can anyone help us out with this? It would be nice to have a clear, plain and simple, complete write up in english from start to finish for this. I tried to understand what a few sites have up about rooting and twrp with sp tools but I just don't want to make a mistake, seeing as I'm having trouble understanding what they mean in a few steps. I would very much appreciate any help. please and thank you.

****EDIT

Nevermind. I seen a few videos and sites showing some of things involved and felt that I might be able to make it through the process. I tried a few times to run the sp flash tool and plugging in the phone but nothing was working. It could have been because I was running the program as admin. on win7 before or probably just the drivers. I installed a couple of drivers before, but Maybe they weren't what was needed. I happened to try some other driver install that I ran across online right before I was gonna quit, and along with Not running the program as admin worked.

I ran the flash tool and plugged in the phone, sent twrp 3.0.3 in. Flashed supersu, then surprised at it all happening so easily, was kinda at a loss at what to do.

I just ended up doing a full backup of the phone, then advance wiping system, data, cache...for some reason. Thats what I read someone said to do for this. Booted, stuck on doogee flash(makes sense). Then I went back(twrp), advanced wiped system, data, cache, internal(I believe this is what I wiped..cant remember clearly but I can verify later if needed), installed a RR rom and booted system......worked perfectly.

Only issue is now....the phone is recognized as an elephone p9000 (i think)... I'll need to look into how to change that later, if possible and If needed. I just don't want that to cause any problems anywhere. already seen that the y7 max is an arm processor and the elephone the rom was ported from was a arm64, so....I guess we'll see

never ran into this before either.
[Android General] DarkShoken:
Hehe yes you're doing well :highfive:

Generally I also install Xposed SDK and Moaab zips.

Works like a charm !!

By the way, would anyone have information about a possible port of Nougat ?! They promised that several months ago, and still no news.

Aaaand if someone was able to correct the awful GPS of this phone, how did he manages it ?? I have tried some methods, but none is effective.

:silly:
[Android General] kadett 1:
For better GPS try Aerom-v5-aosp-stable-for-y6-max on needrom.

For me now it is better than the other crap.
[Android General] NoMarkAsp:
I need some help

I am now facing a very strange behavior.

My problem is:

My battery indicator is stuck. It shows the same value the whole time. I would think its a hardware problem but everytime I flash something the indicator gets the

actual battery value and then stuck again. If the phone gets out of power it just gets off without warning. The battery indicator also shows a wrong value in TWRP.

How Problem was caused:

The Problem is caused by installing ASOP ROM, and then switching back to Stock Rom using SP_flash_tool. (All Roms have the problem now)

What I have already tried to solve the Problem

- some battery tools

- full data wipe including all user and system data

- flashing diverent ROMs, including Stock Rom and my own full backup I created at the beginning.

- calibrating battery (run out of power and fully charging again)

Iam completely clueless. Has anyone an helpful idea.

Thank you in advance.
[Android General] J&G:
well, someone here a few pages back had an issue with the phone getting stuck on boot and then not turning on at all....he opened it with a razor blade and disconnected the battery to help him out. did it for a different reason, although, seeing as you tried a lot already, I think thats the last thing I could think of as possible solution. Unless you modified something deep in the phone, or something became corrupted and it is causing that problem. maybe also try to reflash twrp and start all over again? These are just ideas, I dont have great knowledge of what is going on deep inside these devices . I would probably try reflashing twrp, then adding my rom of choice and going from there. if that doesn't work, perhaps the battery disconnect is the last thing I could think of. Wish you luck and keep us updated.

Just wanted to add, I don't really think reflashing twrp will do anything but I've seen strange things work for problems on devices before. I'm hopeful someone with knowledge can help you out quick..the battery disconnect is the only thing I think might have a chance at helping any. But do that at your own risk, be careful. I would leave it disconnected for a while as well. If not, maybe you'll need a new battery? Could be that..
[Android General] NoMarkAsp:
Thank you. Flashing TWRP I tried before. I also flashed an backup image created with SD-Flash Tool in the beginning. Removing the battery is a mess with this phone, I get the thing out removed all cabels and plugged them back in. Nothing. I'll try to let the thing out over night.

It think its a software problem because if I do a flash with SD_Flash_Tool the indicator works just once. There must be a partion not include in the firmeware Scatter File that has become corrupted.

Did anyone know something like this.

Thanks in advance
[Android General] ZEMONTI:
Flashing to version 3.08 fixed this problem
[Android General] NoMarkAsp:
Thank you for your reply. As I mentioned before I flashed v3.08 from needrom. My Phone has also been delivered with version v3.08 so my SP_Flash_Tool Backup from my Stock Rom has v3.08.

I also tried to downgrade to v3.06 Stock Rom, and using OTA Updates to go to v3.08.

Thank you for all the replys, I have the feeling it is hopeless.

Edit: I will give a new battery a try.
[Android General] ZEMONTI:
I have a serious Bluetooth problem, which trying with 3 different firmwares and 2 custom ROMs didn't solve.

Every second call I have through Bluetooth the other party hears me chunky with bad interference. Rebooting the headsets usually helps, but this is unpleasant option during important call. I changed 3 headsets, but still useless. I tried with the GPS and WiFi off without result.
[Android General] ZEMONTI:
Bluetooth problem half-solved.

After flashing all ROMs I found on needrom.com I found that the Bluetooth works perfectly on all Resurrection ROMs. On everything else (stock included) I have to re-connect the headsets every third call. The other party was hearing me chunky.

The question is can the stock room be fixed? The radio? No voice dialing on Resurrection ROM, so no big advantage from he Bluetooth.
[Android General] nasosecco:
Hello,

thank you for this very useful thread. Just want to add some information on installing the recovery image on the Doogee Y6 Max via fastboot in Ubuntu Linux

I've followed this instructions with some minor (but important)*changes.

First useful information:*to enter in the fastboot mode of the Y6 max do the follow:

- power off your phone

- push togheter Volume up and Power button

now you will see a menu with three options. Move the arrow with Volume up and select "fastboot". Then press Volume down.

You are now in fastboot mode.

Connect your phone via USB to the computer.

Open a terminal and:

- unlock OEM as described in the tutorial linked above.

- install your recovery.img as described in the tutorial linked above

- re-lock the OEM with this command:

sudo fastboot oem lock

otherwise your phone won't boot.

Then power off your phone and enter in the menu described above pressing toghether Volume up and Power.

Now select "Recovery" and you are done.

HI,

I have a question, I have a magisk rooted phone, with twrp. I tried to use the over the air rom update, but it failed on the restart.

What's the best approach to upgrading to the latest (March 2017?) stock rom with twrp (3.03 i think).

Or are there recommendations for another rom?
[Android General] Palm Trees:
This is the latest rom ported to Y6 Max, HaierUI: https://www.movilesdualsim.com/tema/doogee-y6-max-haierui-by-feligres-nat.173366/. I don't own the device, but if I did probably would have flashed that and tested the other roms available -> check needrom for more https://www.needrom.com/category/doogee/serial-y/y6-max/
[Android General] NoMarkAsp:
BEFORE DOING ANYTHING MAKE A BACKUP ON AN EXTERNAL DEVICE SD_CARD OR USB !!!!

The best way may be downloading and flashing Version 3.08 Rom from -- https://www.needrom.com/download/doogee-y6-max-2/ -- (it is the last version)

The problem is to restore the Userdata from the phone, it might be impossible. If you have no problem with losing/reinstall all userdata on your phone, just flash stock rom 3.08 from needrom and install TWRP like described in the first post.

Iam not sure how you can restore your userdata, but if magisk uses nandroid backups you can just copy them to /twrp/BACKUPS/Y6_Max/BackupName/ on your sd_card.

Another idea do recover your data may be to go back to 3.03 stock recovery, then backup your data with the stock rom recovery.

Now you flash 3.08 stock rom, then recover your data with 3.08 stock rom and flash twrp.

Make a Backup of anything, this is a risky task ... may be you lose the data on the Phone.
[Android General] bolehan:
Hi guys,

Why is the latest official stock rom from Doogee (http://www.doogee.cc/bbs/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=25) is only 3.06,

While needrom has a later version 3.08?

Isn't it strange that the official source (doogee.cc) isn't listing version 3.08? Are we sure the one from needrom is safe to use?
[Android General] J&G:
I have a question, asking for a little help, please, if possible. I've been using the Resurrection Remix 5.7.4 for Y6 MAX port from Nonta72 on needrom - really like it. the thing is, I have noticed that the device information is not correct on this rom. It shows Elephone information because that was the rom it was ported from.

I wanted to know If there is an easy way to change this info to match the doogee y6 max information. I want to change the build prop information but i have never done this and I am worried about changing something and breaking functionality. I have noticed a few things, in kernel adiutor some information is not showing(main, overall tab - cpu frequencies failed to load) or things not able to be adjusted properly(entropy). Would that be from the incorrect build information? I know I can change the buildprop info easily, I just want to be safe and change things the right way, and change all that needs to be changed. Also in settings, storage is showing 64gb rom installed. If I change buildprop, will things actually change in the device and apps, or is it not really going to make much difference(just cosmetic to reflect the actual device being used)?

anyone know?
[Android General] DarkShoken:
Hello,

You can edit informations with Notepad++, it's really easy. You just need to search and replace "Elephone" & "P9000" with "Doogee" & "Y6 Max" (for ex.) and more.

You could also use "BuildProp Editor" on PlayStore and change that directly on your phone.
[Android General] J&G:
Thanks for the response.

I believe I also saw in kernel adiutor a way to edit build prop.

I guess my biggest hold up and questions - is it just a cosmetic change and just a name/model change? Can I change other things and will those changes actually do something? for instance, like i mentioned, seeing in my phones settings that storage is 64gb when it's really only 32gb...is there anything I could change that would correct that? what about entropy not being able to be set at its max?(it changes back to a lower number every time I set it). kernel adiutor is also showing a problem on the main screen, not being able to load frequencies.

something I can do within buildprop to correct those issues? or again, just a name/model change?

thanks again
[Android General] t1moc:
Thanks!, the first thing i did was do a full system backup.

So, it was not as bad as i first thought, the issue was that the over the air update failed when it tried to schedule an update install via the OTA. Now the OTA software thinks it has updated the stock rom to the latest release, but is actually the old stock rom release: 20170118

So now i feel the need to perform a rom update regardless. All of the little ticks and issues (ringtone and language reset on reboot, bt headset cuts out in windy situations etc) i still have are irritating me again now that i know they may be fixed in this update :)

I guess my question is now, how do i:

- update the stock rom to the latest release with TWRP

or

- Is there a better than stock rom worth installing instead.
[Android General] J&G:
For me, from what's available for the y6 max - I would give Resurrection Remix a try 1st, then maybe Aerom V5(I've never tried any Aerom before) or PacRom. I use Resurrection Remix on a few devices. Very stable, usually, and is pretty good for customization, if that matters for you. The Resurrection Remix port for the y6 max is great, I only have a couple of complaints but can't bring myself to try something else just yet - enjoying it too much.

I haven't tried Aerom or PacRom for the Y6, but I'm definitely interested. PacRom usually makes great stuff, as well.

There was another Rom just listed not long ago - MIUI 8 beta. Not at all familiar with MIUI, but could be worth looking into.

I liked a couple of things when I glanced through the Dido os on the y6 Max when I first got it, but I just felt like it was missing a good amount of what I have grown accustomed to with custom roms - customization in particular, the look and feeling too.

Though, I didnt really test drive dido. I usually never give stock roms a chance..

If you're looking for something more basic and reliable, maybe also take a look at what people are saying about the LinageOS or AOSP roms for the y6 max.

Hopeful this helps you some, at least. Goodluck
