Hi [MENTION=535343]all[/MENTION],

I already bothered joygram. I have a Yotaphone 2 and a Hisense A2. Hisense is new and was delivered with Software Version L1261.6.03.09.00, Kernel 3.18.24. To me e-ink is inferior to the Yotaphone. Joygram told me it was possible to activate "smooth" mode. I am to dumb, did not manage it by now. Pressing the home button longer? Maybe someone can give me a hint. My phone is not rooted. Developer mode and experd mode in e-ink is enabled.

Does anyone kow if there are any other wingets for the e-ink. Unfortunately i do not understand chinese (which might be a problem in the future). Otherwise the phone seems to work fine in Germany using O2/E-Plus, thanks Jens
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] joygram:
6.03 not support smooth mode

you must use higher version.

so I made new system.img using this thread's system.img and new firmware files.

Hello

Huge Thanks to you all

---------- Post added at 10:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:43 AM ----------

I had the same problem because I had to add a keyboard!

before switching to the E-INK you have to change the keyboard

1: open SMS or INTERNET the keyboard is displayed

2: bottom right in the corner of the screen you have a small keyboard you press it is you choose "Android Keyboard (AOSP)

3: you leave SMS or INTERNET

4: you switch to the E-INK screen and the keyboard works !!

Hi friends. I have a problem: my HISENSE A2 not found infrared sensor. I have install 06.03.09.00.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] TheDreamOfSurf:
hello

try with the application :

- IR Universal TV Remote

or

-ASmart Remote IR

I tested on my ROM L1261.6.09.03.00 and it does not work on mine either !
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ubbyxda:
OK. a question: what has ROM L1261.6.09.03.00 more than the ROM L1261.6.03.09.00?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] TheDreamOfSurf:
she is much more evolved

you can put wallpapers on E-INK key

when you listen to music on the screen amoled -> the E-INK displays drawings, when you listen to videos, when you take pictures and many other improvements!

the ROM is in English and Chinese!

on the other hand the playstore works very well you do not turn off your phone!

from the moment that you turned off your phone the "Google Play Services" plant !!

Ducout you have to be very vigilant to never fall out of battery and not to put it off if all the application that works with the "Google Play Services" (youtube, play store, gmail, etc ...) does not work anymore!

we are unable to delete the account xxxxxxx@gmail.com and "aware" empties the battery quickly!

I think it should root the phone and add Google Play Service and Play Store!

but I do not know how to sit for root on HISENSE!

I would like to find a charitable soul that could help me carry a Rom Stock 6.0 from Google and add on Driver and E-Ink!

or take the ROM of the HISENSE A2PRO 7.0 Nougat and modify it for the Hisense A2 because unless I'm mistaken there is not much different between the 2 Telephone!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ubbyxda:
OK thanks, you were very kind to answer me. I'm not very practical of modding. I'll wait for a ROM with android 7 and maybe with working Infrared Sensor.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] TheDreamOfSurf:
Good evening

after several attempts I managed to use it !

Here is how I proceeded for SAMSUNG

it must be a little fast because after a while a pub appear at the bottom and covers the 3 buttons

me -> SAMSUNG

is you can add more then it will register in list

is if that still does not work check the application version

Hello all,

Merry Christmas!

I read here about a Multilingual update of the A2 phone, yet it sounds as if it is not very stable.

Which ROM do you think is the most stable one and where I can get it from? (I need English only)

Currently my phone has: L1261.6.03.09.00,

Regs
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] TheDreamOfSurf:
Hello

you are from what country ?

before changing ROM think to save yours !

if you want English only that you install the version: L1261.6.10.20.00 and if you want the playstore you have to install Yalp Store.apk

if you have any questions do not hesitate
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mrightstuff:
Does anyone know if it's possible to flash the A2 Pro ver. (Android 7) to the A2?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] TheDreamOfSurf:
not to test!

it seems to me that it's not the same processor!

but you should try renaming their files to A2.bin
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mrightstuff:
More curious if it's possible. I don't have access to the a2 Rom though. The snapdragon 430 of the a2 is supported by Android 7, but not sure if HiSense made it capable of using it.

I just got my HiSense and it has a custom rom of 6.03. Is it worth updating to 6.09 or 6.10? I'm only interested if it gives e-ink lockscreen notifications or e-ink picture preview with the camera (using the color screen camera and e-ink camera at the same time) like what's on the Yotaphone 2.

I think they haven't made such updates yet right?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] TheDreamOfSurf:
ok no problem, do you have facebook?

if so search the Group: Hisense A2 and A2 Pro Owners

Remember to save your ROM before putting another one!

your rom and multilingual and she has the Play Store!

all other ROMs are in English and Chinese only and without PalyStore!

what country are you from ?

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] IMinoI:
Hi, I got the A2 Pro and it was delivered and already flashed with " Official Global Firmware , Support Multi Languages.

Support Google Play Store Pre-Installed and Support Multi-language ". (It's from Aliexpress Shen Zhen Frank Technology Store).

1. I tried a few languages, but nothing changes. It simply returns to the option to change the language. I wouldn't mind having the phone in English, but even the English version has mistakes. Like no space between a few words, wrong translation like "block" but its to "enable" the function instead of blocking it,... And Sophos Antivir found a PUA I can't decipher because it's in Chinese. Oh and somehow I have google play store 2 times installed, but just one of them can find my apps on the phone (I suspect, it's because I somehow got a work account and a personal account with the same google account on my phone? Through a game perhaps which wanted to install google play service (clash of clans)? Funny fact, the original one is the one which doesn't work anymore.

I hope there is no real Malware on it. Can I check it, fix the issues or is it possible to get a better ROM? I wouldn't mind if it's just in English.

By the way, Software version is: L1413.6.05.04.00.00, Android Version 7.1.2 but the Android security patch level is from August 1, 2017 (Not up to date, is it?).

2. The most problematic issue is that I can't get a mobile internet connection. I live in Germany and have win sim (network of Telefonica/o2/Eplus). I can get SMS and it states it has a 2g or 4g connection (upper lefter corner), but I still don't get a connection and the SIM status says, "Cellular network state: Disconnected"

I tried a few different APN settings, but nothing seems to work. Current settings are:

Name: o2 internet

APN: internet

Proxy: Not set

Port: Not set

Username: Not set

Password: Not set

Server: Not set

MMSC: 10.81.0.7:8002

MMS proxy: 82.113.100.5

MMS port: 8080

MCC: 262

MNC: 07

Authentication type: None

APN type: default,supl,mms

APN protocol: IPv4/IPv6

APN roaming protocol IPv4

Bearer: Unspecified

MVNO type: None

MVNO value: Not set

3. Another issue is, i thought the battery of the phone would last longer, especially if i use the e-ink display. But most of the battery is drained by the "Android System". How long can you phones function with a single charge?

4. Whatsapp sometimes doesn't show that I got new messages. I have to open the app to see, that i got new messages. I use web.whatsapp and can see if whatsapp doesn't show messages because it states, that whatsapp on the phone isn't connected to the internet. Does/did anyone has the same problem and a fix for it?

Many thanks in advance! :)

Hello! Can you please specify - so you get notifications even in deep sleep mode with lion screen on? Or just on panel screen? And do you only see notification badge or full text? Because I just can not get notifications to be displayed on e-ink screen during deep sleep. I had to download an app that disables sleep in order to see notifications without turning on the phone. Thanks for the answer. Jan
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] veroweed:
Hello Jan,

What do you mean with "Lion"- and "Panel"-Screen? This terms I don't know.

With my method, the display stays off, but the notifications are received and I get the sounds, I have assigned to the notifications. If I switch on my smartphone then, I'll get the notification as text in the Mainscreen and in the notification-bar. This has not work before closing the lock-symbol in the task-manager.

The E-Ink-Screen, I only use for reading eBooks and switch while using the phone from the active Mainscreen onto this and back.

Won't get notifications visible on Off-Screen, if smartphone is in Standby.

Hope, could help.

Hi Guys, th for this post as it did help me to kinda fix my phn, the steps are spot on.

How ever my sim 2 isnt working, and i see a lot of people are struggling with the same issue.

Has anyone gotten the sim 2 option open ?

Thanks shaun
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jaybee01:
Thanks for the answer, that is what I thought. For notifications to be displayed, the phone must be awaken. No notification display while the phone is in standby/sleep mode. I tried numerous ways. It is not possible to wake the phone from sleep and refresh the e-ink display by macro or other app, I tried that. There would have to be an application that explicitly refreshes e-ink screen every few seconds. Yotaphone2 has that. It would have to be programmed by Hisense.

Other possibility would be to keep the phone alive, but extremely slow down CPU to save power. However, for that the phone must be rooted and I have not found any method to root it.

Hey all, just looking for a bit of clarification. I want to get rid of SuperSU and go with magisk. Been reading a few guides and just want to make sure I have all my affairs in order.

It seems I can just unroot in the SuperSU settings and flash magisk. Do i absolutely NEED to flash a stock boot image and do I need to download that from a website or is it on my phone? I've used xposed framework but I uninstalled everything related to that.

Exynos and it already has root and twrp
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] NamelessFragger:
Rooting a locked bootloader phone is much like running homebrew or a flat-out custom firmware on a game console.

Determined individuals will find a way, but it'll take quite some time and rely on security exploits that could just as easily be used for nefarious purposes, so don't be surprised if they get patched out in future updates.

Meanwhile, you could just get a device with an unlocked bootloader and be on your merry way, but that only applies to Exynos variants and maybe the Snapdragon variant sold in Hong Kong. Needless to say, that makes things a pain for North American buyers for a litany of reasons - doubly so if you're on Sprint or Verizon due to lack of CDMA support on Exynos.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] funcritter:
This is all true. There really isn't a reason to root the Snapdragon variant unless you absolutely need it for an app that requires root. You can't run any custom ROMs on a phone with a locked bootloader, even if it is rooted.

Just like with the S7/Edge Snapdragons, they had root but it was so unreliable I could never really keep my phone rooted. There were severe battery drain issues, lag and more and these issues remain today for people still trying to root that phone.

I still have my old reliable Note 5 rooted and I still it today even though I have a Note 8 now.

---------- Post added at 10:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:33 AM ----------

This. Sure snapdragons will get root but it won't be for months and it will limit battery to 80%. Plus no twrp or custom roms. Not worth it imho. That's why if root and roms are important to you, Exynos is your only real option.
