custom stock ROM

Hello.

Link for custom stock ROM.

I only tweaked the stock ROM 1.0.6 for more space for apps and build.prop file for better performance and battery.

https://mega.nz/#!JJdg0YbY!PyxN1Lev3zOyJ_RKDodR9lJSmnHbtClXptmGeTpCq-8

I am not responsible for any damage.
[Android General] karishbhr:
A few questions about this:

1. Do I install this custom rom with the official installer or the custom recovery?

2. Is this rom rooted?

3. Does it enable multi-window?

4. How significant are the improvements?
[Android General] TkMelter:
Hello.

1. Official installer

2. No

3. No

4. I didn't measure that, but it waste less in standby or in switched off state.

Thx.
[Android General] RVA84:
To install it must be done by connecting the tablet to the computer??
[Android General] TkMelter:
Yes it is.
[Android General] RVA84:
When I install it will erase everything I have ??
[Android General] karishbhr:
I believe yes. I installed the custom firmware and it's great! Not sure what battery life on this thing usually is, because I installed it straight away, but my battery life seems better than what others have said in reviews. Great tablet for the price!
[Android General] RVA84:
I just installed it right now. I will comment how he behaves. Greetings and thank you.
[Android General] TkMelter:
Format

Hello.

Yes, it will format everything as the stock firmware does.

Thx.

Hi folks,

may I ask you if anybody of you has bought an iFive mini 4s from Gearbest in the last month? What were your experiences? Did you eventually get the tablet? What did you pay for it?

Cheers!
[Android General] UnknownDK:
My mother bought her tablet from Gearbest. It came within a month, but was caught in customs. I think she ended up paying a total of around 150$. Keep in mind, that this is in Denmark and that 45$ of the total 150$ is due to our high customs rate.
[Android General] dfahren:
Hi UnknownDK,

interesting! So your mother bought this tablet from GearWORST in May and received it. Very, very interesting. I also bought the same tablet from the same seller in May and did not receive it. They say they have it on back order due to high demand. My impression is, there is not so big demand ... but I paid just 98€ for it because I used a coupon. My impression is, they don't want to sell this tablet at this price any more. They ship all their stock to customers who paid more than what I paid for it and in the meantime they write emails to me that they want to refund me with the money transferred into my GearWORST wallet. :eek::rolleyes::silly:

I deem this sort of behavior disreputable ....
[Android General] Hoka-Hey:
Can I Use "apply update from sd card" from the standard recovery for this ROM?

if not can you put together a small tutorial for dummies like me?
[Android General] julioforo:
Hi guys.

I just received the tablet.

It came with firmware 1.0.8b (??????)

It was surprising because in the official web, the last one is 1.0.6...

but it was working well until I was watching a h265 video in Kodi and suddenly restarted... and it was impossible to stop the bootloop.

So i had to install some firmware and the only one I found was the 1.0.6 and the custom rom from one guy here...

So, since then I'm not able even to start reproducing an H265 video...

Any thought?
[Android General] schrdlu:
I also received it with 1.0.8b and downgraded it to 1.0.6 (not that I had any problem with 1.0.8b : just testing :)).

Anyway, 1.0.8b has been published a few hours ago :

- http://bbs.5-fnf.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=3463&extra=page=1)

- https://1drv.ms/u/s!AsL9lwe0qKlsgQxTqAvvWkJt9z_u

Be careful, it seems to be for only some recent variants of the ifive mini 4S (those with serial number beginning with the letter "B").

Not flashed yet. I'll do that next week-end.
[Android General] RVA84:
My serial number is CM10BFB00262

1.0.8b dont w0rk??
[Android General] dfahren:
Hi there,

I also received my ifive mini 4s a couple of days ago. Is a very nice tablet and works as designed.

Rooting with this method also works. So thanks for the instructions. Well written! I like them.

Unfortunately I have some major problems. Right out of the box the software on the tablet is pretty old and once Google Play Store updates Services and other Apps. The tablet starts to crash as hell. More often than not I start an app, it runs for a couple of seconds and then it is killed by Android or EVEN BETTER the whole tablet reboots. Now I can't even start the tablet normally, it keeps booting and booting and some time in the future it says "Optimizing Apps ...". Sorry [MENTION=613502]fnf[/MENTION], you can't be serious with this and you cannot ship such an unfinished product to the masses!

Do you guys have the same problems? Could you do something about it?

I definitely hope that [MENTION=467286]crew[/MENTION]RKTablets is able to compile LOS 14.1 for us maybe in a couple of weeks or months.

Cheers, DFahren
[Android General] dfahren:
Very likely, yes, it won't work on your version of the tablet. But you can try. If the tablet does not boot normally, you can always revert to 1.0.6. Rockchip-based tablets are pretty hard to brick.
[Android General] Seanichigo:
Sucks for you to receive that lemon or so. I got it from Banggood early last week for 155$ CAD. Only the battery seems to be the negative point, about 2.5 to 3 hours of SOT. when i play Clash of Clans and CATS. Maybe i can squeeze more if i only browse the net and youtube without gaming. But i got no problem that you described. maybe you can try to restore back to the lowest firmware... which is 1.04, then upgrade your way to 1.06... instead of doing a restore... just giving an idea.
[Android General] bsoplinger:
I received mine today, ordered July 1, paid $117 with DHL shipping.
[Android General] dfahren:
Yeah, that it is .. a lemon ... btw, I installed 1.0.6 and the device keeps crashing even if I let it lay around! Suddenly the screen lits up and I see the FNF iFive logo and it reboots. Noooo sorry, dear seller, that can't be true ... I opend an RMA with them because I think I have a faulty DRAM module. Keep your fingers crossed that the whole send-it-to-them-repair-get-it-back-from-them does not take months ...

Cheers, DFahren
[Android General] dfahren:
Oh, that's nice. Frankly speaking, I like this tablet a lot. It has all it needs and nothing more and nothing less. Just right.

BTW, do you see any App being forced closed? Or do you encounter any spurios random boots?

:good: for you and your tablet!
[Android General] bsoplinger:
I haven't updated to the latest firmware but so far no real problems. Crashed Crashlands, a game, a few times but everything else has been running fine.
[Android General] bsoplinger:
Has anyone tried using this recovery tool to flash Xposed?
[Android General] elmofpv:
Hi guys,

I got my ifive days ago.

I also bought Bluetooth Keyboard Touchpad from AliEx.

Overall happy with the tablet and the keyboard.

However there is one issue.

When I press the keyboard's enter key in google box/ browser box, it left-click the mouse pointer instead of GO for search.

I've also tried typing in notes, when I press enter button, it does both type in new row and left-click where the mouse pointer located.

I don't think this is keyboard problem because it work normal with my Mi4i android 5.

It is incompatible with either android 6 or the rockchip chipset.

I've googled anywhere but haven't find the solution.
[Android General] nickel911:
So does this open the door to custom ROMS?

hey guys what about the wifi of this tablet? I'm reading into the official forum that many users have problems on both band and latest firmware updates did not solve for everyone.. what coul you say please?

also average battery life? I usually use tablets at home so brightness not further 50% and many times -30% using some screen filter to read at night
[Android General] UnknownDK:
The wifi problem only seems to be a problem on version 1.0.8B, which the newer devices ship with. You can fix this by downgrading to 1.0.6. I get 4-5 hours of screen on time, but it doesn't have the greatest stand by time.
[Android General] bab1c:
Install 1.08w firmware

Works great on my model (B S/N)

Only thinks is that i can't root it...
[Android General] UnknownDK:
Why can't you root? I haven't tried yet. What goes wrong?
[Android General] bab1c:
i'd install CWM like i didi with 1.06 and no problems

But when i tried to install Superuser.zip with CWM it can't extract ramdisk and failed to install !!
[Android General] UnknownDK:
Have you tried using another superuser?
[Android General] bab1c:
Yes i'd tried magisk and there is an error to...

But the tablet seems more responsive with this firmware...
[Android General] UnknownDK:
Agreed on the responsiveness. I will try rooting myself and write my solution here within a few days tops.
[Android General] bab1c:
Thanks,

Waiting for your solution.

hio there guys just received my unit and it has 1.1 firmware.. I searched the official forum and there's no firmware there I would like to download one to have as plan B in case something goes wrong. do you know where I can download it?

Also, does someone tested this guide with 1.1 and can confirm root & recovery are working?

thanks a lot ;)
[Android General] brainvision:
hi there guys, want to report that I successfully rooted with 1.1.1C firmware. Unfortunately this is not available for download at the moment, so please spam on the official forum http://bbs.5-fnf.com/forum.php (I already created the thread). The OTA seems to be a joke on this tablet, so we always need full firmware to update.

I also noticed that the default gapps were really old and they all need to be updated, so to not waste space (old apk in /system, new in /data) I downloaded open gapps package and flashed it. Works amazing. System partition have 600 MB free so I prefer to install gapps that way.

Substratum works nice too but you need to download the Marshmallow apk from apkmirror.com (only legit apk there).

The cwm version we have really sucks, it cannot even mount external sd and OTG and the keys are inverted, yu press Volume Up it goes down, hope to have TWRP soon but I don't count on it..

Last but not least I have an issue flashing the latest SuperSu flashable zip. Older 2.46 works nice but then you need to update via Play Store. I tried to flash directly the very latest version 2.82 but it fails complaining about boot ramdisk problem, I'm going to ask into chainfire thread, hope to find a way to solve..

Xposed too works great. Love this cheap tablet, it's a shame the audio noises it has. I thought it was only with earphones but nope, I hear it trough the speaker too when pressing Home, when using google audio recognition and so on.. :(

TWRP doesn't respond

Hi

I have installed TWRP but when I boot into TWRP, it doesn't recognised any touch. I chose option 8, 2048x1536.

I can't seem to find anyway of restoring the original bootloader.

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance
[Android General] RVA84:
you have to install option 12
[Android General] trader1959:
Thanks for the reply.

When I boot to recovery, TRWP is loaded and touch doesn't work. The windows recovery tool doesn't

see my ifive mini 4s and so I can't use option 12 or any other option.

I presume I need to restore the stock bootloader, replacing TWRP for me to reattempt with option 12.

Is there anyway of replacing TWRP by restoring the stock bootloader?

TIA

hmm, I have the RePad version of this tablet. Everything goes well until the step, "Install from ZIP" With the recovery that is installed through this process, I don't have that in the recovery menu. The closest is "Apply update from SD card." But selecting that gets me "E:unknown volume for path [/sdcard]"

I've tried numerous external SD cards, formatted different ways but I never see the ZIP option. Any ideas? Thanks.

my firmware is 1.06
[Android General] conduisant:
You must have again the stock recovery, try to flash again with the tutorial of this thread
[Android General] eelpout:
yeah, think you're right, I'm still on stock.

The AndroidTool goes through all the motions, enclosed a pic of the tool showing successful flashing, but it actually doesn't really happen on my RePad 8 with 1.06. Not sure where the problem is, I can use the tool to get info off the RePad so it is communicating OK.

I take it using fastboot isn't an option for recovery flashing with these?

Edit: while the pic says "Found one ADB device" it does correctly say "Found one Loader" during flashing. This screen is from after the flash and the tablet has booted into the OS and adb is running.

[Android General] daemion1712:
I have received my IFive with the following Specs.

Build Number iFive_mini_4S_1.1.6C.

Rooting with the Method on First Page was not possible. Found Loader , but no structure and Message: Device not supported.

Please use it with your own Risk !!!!

Extract from Folder the File CWM_CrewRKTablets_v1.1.img and Flash it with Linux (Arch) on Recovery partition. Download the Rockchip linux upgrade tool and extract, then open

Terminal-Command Line ::: su ./upgrade_tool di -r CWM_CrewRKTablets_v1.1.img

After that, reboot in CWM and make Backup of your DEVICE !!!!!!!!!! Leave the Backup on the Internal Storage if something goes wrong. Flash Supersu 2.46.

No Problems so far.

My Asus Zenfone 2 Laser soft reboots while playing Clash of clans and while watching videos online in Google chrome or YouTube.

Firstly I thought that my gpu couldn't handle the games. So I used kernel auditor and kept the Gpu in powersaving mode. But still the problem presists. I underclocked the Gpu from 550Mhz to 200Mhz.

And suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ACFH:
Hard to say what causes randomly restarting. It could be 3rd party apps, custom rom, disable system app, hardware brick. Even if it only restart in specific place, it could be your carrier's tower that you're connected to.

If you disabled system app, enable it. Some required to run the OS.

Try restart in Safe mode: Hold power button. Phone ask you want Turn off, restart, fly mode. Hold Turn off option, then it will ask you restart in safe mode. Keep using safe mode. If it not auto restart, 3rd party apps is problem, try unistall some or factory reset your phone. If it keep ramdomly restart, then it is rom issue or hardware.

Update rom, using another rom. If it not work, the last answer is hardware brick.
