Just downloaded the update 48 ΜΒ. I believe the phone phone is one of the best value for money. camera fixed by the way.

Has anyone any problem with the headphone Jack? I do not use it but it seems that it does not work properly
[Miscellaneous Android Development] timboi44:
Can someone help me how to install the rom v18 for the U13 from needrom because I have never installed a rom on any device before. I searched how to do it and the one here says use something called TWRP but the instructions on needrom don't say anything about that. Can some please clarify because I'm confused.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Gyre8:
My headphone jack does seem to work OK. I did have doubts as my headphone jack plug didn't seem to 'click' firmly into the port, but even so, it does work.

***UPDATE*** I have just tried a different set of headphones and they did not work correctly. It seems that some headphones don't push into the jack port fully and click into place - they keep popping out slightly. This results in the sound coming from the device speaker not the headset.

This is very annoying and a very basic design fault. Oukitel have got to get their design, and Q&A right if they want to be known as a dependable and reputable company. Just because the phones are good value doesn't excuse them being faulty.

You will need to try different headsets to see if one set fits into the jack port correctly, or use a bluetooth headset.

You only need to worry about TWRP (or GAPPS) if you're flashing a 3rd Party ROM, like the MADos rom as mentioned early in this thread. If you're intending to flash a stock rom (as found on Needrom for instance), just use the Flashtool kit at the bottom of the U13 rom versions list.

You will need to install the correct drivers, but they are included in the flash tool kit package.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] timboi44:
Thanks, that helps a ton but I have couple more questions of you don't mind. Do I need root t flash a stock rom and do I select download only or firmware upgrade on flashtool? Thank you so much because if you couldn't tell I am such a noob at this type of stuff.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Gyre8:
No. You do not need to root the U13 to flash a stock rom.

Use 'Download only' on flashtool.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DerTeufel1980:
Please stop talking about stock rom. This thread is about madOS... And besides that camera/focus thing, I don't even see a reason why one would use stock rom at all. It's less secure, has less features, less performance and a ugly ui [emoji14]
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Gyre8:
Fix the U13 camera focus in madOS and we'll all be very happy to install it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] timboi44:
Do I need a rooted device for madOS?

Can I install madOS on rom toolbox?

What features will madOS add to my device compared to stock rom?

What exactly is madOS?

Sorry for all these questions. I'm new to ROMs and stuff like that and I'm trying to get as knowledgeable as possible.

NEED HELP. Installed MADOS, rebooted normally, installed GAPS, rebooted normally. Connected to wifi and while i was viewing my device, I decided to restore from settings my phone. It is stuck in TWRP recovery. I can not get into system. while i choose reboot to system it goes back to recovery.

ANY HELP????

solved after help from MADOS team on FB
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Gyre8:
Perhaps you could outline how you resolved this issue for the sake of anyone else that has the same problem? Many thanks.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DerTeufel1980:
It's caused by the recovery. Going to upload a fixed one later
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Gyre8:
Thank you.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nikolaos.l:
I installed stock rom back from needrom, let it sit for a while, charged my phone to full. Then I installed the MAD O.S. again following the instructions. I just did not factory reset the phone from settings. waiting for the update that will fix it.

---------- Post added at 11:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:55 PM ----------

I will use the ROM this week and report back with my impressionts. So far LOVE how it sows.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Gyre8:
Great, thank you. I look forward to your report.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Marcelobalonas:
I instaled the rom yesterday and so far so good!

The camera "problem" on the stock rom is fixed (at least for me) and i even think the camera is faster to take shots and don't have that annoying thing of becoming slow and "draggy" in low light situations..

The problem that most annoys me, and i hope gets fixed, is when you are watching a 1080p 60fps video on youtube, the video freezes but keeps playing the sound... Rotating the phone or minimizing the video makes it normal again but for a few seconds... (Yes, i wiped everything on install, cleared cache, installed & unistalled youtube...) any ideas what is causing that?

But for the rest, everything looks on point! :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DerTeufel1980:
We already noticed that YouTube bug... We're looking into this
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Marcelobalonas:
Thank you very much! Keep the good work! :)

Re-designed and re-named MAD Extras --> madOS Extras

Rom performance optimizations

Update pre-built ‘blobs’ from latest stock rom (V18), to enhance camera for example

New translations from Github merged
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nikolaos.l:
I Installed the latest version and I have problem with wifi. It disconnects all the time and loses internet. It shows that I am connected some times but with no internet access.

Restarted rooter and phone several times. No success
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DerTeufel1980:
Please try removing your known connections and add back.

There's no logical possibility for this.

The only thing which could cause this, are the updated blobs from stock rom... But this would be weird as well
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nikolaos.l:
First thing I tried. Keeps disconnecting after I leave my phone for more than 10 minutes. I will make a clean install to check again.

PS the same thing happens with 2 different networks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] arp2012:
Location issues when "Battery saving" mode is ON in Location.

I am using Beautiful Weather App for weather and it only works (locate and update weather) only in "High Accurancy" mode. It looks like location data are not shared to insatelled app when phone is in "Battery only" location mode. On stock ROM there is no such a problem.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] nikolaos.l:
I Installed the update and have to say that th connection problems are gone. Left my phone for more than one hour and did not disconnect from wifi. I had problems with internet connection when changing from wifi to 4g but for now everything is OK.

PS I did not make a clean install.

---------- Post added at 07:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:57 PM ----------

If your are reffering to the headphone jack, the solution for me was to trim the head of the jack so it would go a little more inside. that worked for me.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DerTeufel1980:
Great. I suppose camera focus is working as good as on stock rom as well now?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] CepoSK:
Aloha guys, how do I update from previous mad version?

I flashed it from twrp, wiped caches, but then some google aps were missing dependencies, so I reflashed the new version again and also gaps(w/o reboot), wiped caches, but then some apps were missing permissions and even after confirming them it didn't help.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DerTeufel1980:
Sounds weird. Normally it should be enough to just flash new rom and gapps over previous build.

Maybe your issue is caused by not flashing gapps previously.

I'd just try again. If it still does not work, I'd try to uninstall and reinstall the problematic apps
[Miscellaneous Android Development] CepoSK:
So no need to wipe the caches after flashing the new rom and gapps?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DerTeufel1980:
It does not hurt... But I never do
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nikolaos.l:
Unfortunatelly thw connection problems came back.

I love this rom but losing connectivity to wifi and 4g and having to restart the phone 2 times a day to regain it, is a deal breaker for me.

I will return to stock for now.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DerTeufel1980:
Someone on fb said he got those issues on stock V18, but not stock v17.

I do not get those issues at all.... Can you confirm V18 problem?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nikolaos.l:
I used v18 for a week before coming to this ROM and I did not have any issues at all.

I did not have any issues (except memory leak) with this ROM version 20170301

Things started with 20170309.

PS This version has a bigger battery drain than before. 50-60 % more.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Palm Trees:
How about the camera focus problem?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nikolaos.l:
No problem for me with camera. (its crap but it works fine)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Palm Trees:
I thought the camera was one of the major selling points for this phone aside from the cloned OnePlus design.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nikolaos.l:
Coming from LG G 4 every camera is going to be crazy for me. The selling point of this phone is the price and the storage.

That's it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nikolaos.l:
I promised that I would post my thoughts about MAD OS.

The good

1.	Super smooth performance. I only had a force close facebook 2-3 times a week.

2.	Loved the additional buttons in the navigation bar (reminded me LG G4)

3.	Loved the implication of dual screen

4.	The camera app could be better, but it is OK.

5.	Very good storage saver installation.

The bad

1.	Only one problem for me. The connectivity issues. Wifi drops connection 3-4 times a day. Leaving office and home does not connect me to 4g or 3g even though it seems to be connected. Had to keep an eye on my phone all the time because I need all the time internet connection for Voip and emails.

Again a big THANK you for the efforts. I am sure that they will fix this problem and I will come back from stock ROM running....
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DerTeufel1980:
To get things right, those disconnects did not happen on first build, right?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nikolaos.l:
On build 20170301 I did not see any disconnects. Only the memmory drain that was fixed an the next build
[Miscellaneous Android Development] timboi44:
What do you mean by trim the head of the jack? Because I want to fix my headphone jack.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] apogen:
i ordered also this phone for a friend of mine due to M.a.d. support... As i can read there are connections drops on wifi and 4g?? can anybody except [MENTION=465084]nikolaos.I[/MENTION] confirm this?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] JacquesClio:
Im in the first-time installation of MadOS, but the links in the instructions doesnt work (usb-driver and flashtool). Please help me out.

EDIT: When i copy the link it works fine, sorry ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DerTeufel1980:
We could not reproduce this... But it has to be caused by updated blobs from latest stock rom... No other changes were made which could cause this.

I'll revert those partially next time
[Miscellaneous Android Development] apogen:
thanks man.. waiting for next release to flash
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nikolaos.l:
In the headphone jack there is a small head that prevents jack from going all the way in and destroying the socket.

I trimmed that small head with my multitool just a little bit, so it can go a little more inside.

My LG headphones had a metal head, the xiaomi was plastic sa it was more easy.

Poderiam colocar Screenshots android 7.1 ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DerTeufel1980:
I don't understand
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Gyre8:
It's possibly Portuguese, but I can't get a sensible translation out of Google translate.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] laiongyn:
Prints

Could they put screen prints with android 7.1?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Palm Trees:
MadOS screenshots, is what's being requested.

Don't be rude guys, c'mon.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] JacquesClio:
MadOS works just fine for me (stable 4), i had one day a little issue with LTE, but after reboot everything was fine again. Good job guys!

Just one thing: The camera-pictures in the gallery are first very blurry, and it takes very long to get a clear image. That was no issue at the stock-rom.

And one little question: I never rooted a device before, where can i find a manual? I have a little wakelock-problem, and wakelock-detector requires a rooted device ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Gyre8:
No-one is being rude. 'Poderiam' is a Portuguese word as is 'colorcar'. I was simply stating that Google Translate for Portuguese to English didn't give a meaningful result - it came out as 'could color', which I didn't understand.

So, 'c'mon guy', don't accuse people without careful consideration.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Palm Trees:
You seem a little sensitive, that's okay. I didn't accuse anyone - without carefully considering the sentence he wrote, I understood he was asking for screenshots of MadOS. Don't be petty, it's a waste of energy really.

Now. Back on topic :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Gyre8:
Thank you for your concern as to my sensitivity. Some might conclude that you are a tad touchy and sensitive with your use of the word 'petty'. It's commonly used by those on the defensive; i.e. those who have realised they have made a mistake but cannot admit it.

BTW I have plenty of energy to waste where false accusations are made. Is English your first language? Only I am concerned that you might be missing the nuances of the language.

'Petty' enough for you?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Palm Trees:
Keep ranting. I'm sure "some" are entertained by you.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] arp2012:
Any further updates scheduled/planed/foreseen?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MioCZ:
Grrr, IMEIs lost. Which tool use to set/recover IMEIs? PLS. Phone is not possible to get to metamode.

I did it step by step. Not supposed to loose IMEIs and MAC adresses.

Do it without wipeing in TWRP, better is do factory reset in factory recovery, after it flash TWRP, DO FULL BACKUP, and continue without wipeing in TWRP.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Gyre8:
I used a Windows program called 'SN Writer' to re-enter my IMEI numbers when the same thing happened to me. You need to enter the IMEI numbers manually from the U13 box sticker.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MioCZ:
Hmm, i have tryied BirdA SN Writer version 3.7, but phone try to boot, writer register it when i connec it powered off, shows Start searching kernel com port and handshake and nothing.

Phone reboot itself twice and boot up normaly without switching to metamode :(

Can be problem with root in boot? I have flashed SuperSU into boot.

Or where to get MD1_DB and AP_DB files for this ROM for normal SN Writer?:

EDIT3: Flashed back original latest ROM and IMEIs etc are back, probably new nvram format in latest update is incompatible with madOS ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DerTeufel1980:
Maybe/probably just bad luck. If you don't mind, please install madOS again and report back.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Djembe168:
link MD5

hi everybody....

pleace where must copy and put link of MD5 madOS :confused:

i ave try yesterday with our istructions but come a error file broken :confused:

after i will restore and come error 255 :(

this mornig i solved with a original room V18 and don't know were is the problem or were MD5 to be linked to can installed madOs :rolleyes:

same help ?

tanks :good:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MioCZ:
I have not used MD5 checksum, simple do not check it in twrp and instalation will go.

You can check file integrity simply in PC, extraxt the zip using any archiver. If no error, file is ok.

Back on topic, why in madOS missing android engineer mode and MTK engineer mode? All relevant setting now could be accessible only in nvram editor, but only if metamode working (still not for me).
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Djembe168:
Tanks

Thanks for your advice, I'll try hoping to succeed ... or are still some hours hacking :p

tomorrow I try on your PC ... If it goes well Wednesday I test ...

Thank you again :fingers-crossed:

Please help

Hey guys, really appreciate your work.

I have an Oukitel U13 and would love to install madOS on it.

I am very new to this and would love a step by step guide, please can you help.

Thanks in advance.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MioCZ:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] timboi44:
What do you mean by a small head? I'm unfamiliar with this terminology sorry.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Gyre8:
I think what is meant is the metal 'collar' at the top of the metal portion of the jack plug itself. On some headphones the jack plug terminates directly into the plastic part of the plug, and sometimes there is a slightly larger diameter metal 'collar' before the plastic part.

Hi.

I have followed several tutorials to install TWRP, and although everything goes well when I turn on recovery I only get the icon of Andy gutted but I can not access TWRP. What am I doing wrong?

Is there any tutorial you can follow to install TWRP?

Thanks!!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] El greco:
+1 about not entering TWRP with volume up + power, then selecting recovery it brings out the "Dead Android Robot" and nothing happens.

While waiting for the possible fix, wifi drops have been solved in latest release? mtk engineer mode can be accessed in some way?

There's also a guide on using adb.

Basically, I need this file, after a crash has happened and device booted up again: /proc/last_kmsg

If you are rooted, you can just copy it and upload.

Else you can use: adb pull /proc/last_kmsg .

To get the file to your pc

How or for what is that configure. I switch to ondemad, just to also not drain a battery and left phone to setup himselves.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] DerTeufel1980:
The crash probably was caused, by having 'sched' built into the kernel. It is supposed to be faster and to save energy... But it's not perfectly fine...

Did you ever get a crash, before switching away from sched?

If you did not, you should switch back to sched for now

No I never used sched. When I install madOS, I went through all settings and found this CPU option and set to sched.

I will test more setups and inform later about situation.

Im still very happy with madOS stable 4, there are only 2 problems:

1. pics in the gallery are first very blurry and unsharp and it takes very long till the phone sharpen up.

2. Sometimes my mobile data doesnt work, i cant figure out why, it happens absolutly random. There is no Problem with the Provider (Vodafone Ger. LTE), works just fine with every other smartphone. Only thing that fix this problem sometimes is a complete restart of the device, its very embarrasing...

Both problems are not found on stock rom, mobile data works just fine.

Maybe you guys can fix this :good:
