Benchmarks

I have used 3DMark, AndroBench, Antutu Benchmark, Epic Citadel, GeekBench 4, GFXBench, PCMark (Work 2.0, Computer Vision, Storage & Work 1.0) and Vellamo to stress the device to the limit. I won’t test Games or Video Playback because there are already some related tests included in these Benchmark suites.

3DMark – Decent 3D Performance considering the low-end GPU.

AndroBench – eMMC Performance is slighly unbalanced, with good read speed and a bit too low write speed.

Antutu Benchmark – I won’t say anything about this benchmark, this isn’t as reliable as others. I’m providing this just for benchmarks lovers.

Epic Citadel – Unexpectedly with the HD+ resolution this GPU seem to handle the benchmark pretty well.

GeekBench – It isn't possible to expect something better from this CPU (4x Cortex-A53), average score.

CPU

Compute

GFXBench – Just like what happened with Epic Citadel, also this one provides some unexpected high results.

PCMark – A bit low storage score, but everything else is just fine.

Work 2.0

Computer Vision

Storage

Work 1.0

Vellamo – For some unknown reasons, the device is recognized as an "iRulu" (what?) X18, even though this should be GMS certified thus properly recognized. Weird.

Conclusions

Being the second device i review with this type of screen, i can already say that its implementation might result a bit confusing if you consider the original Galaxy S8 target: providing a larger screen in a smaller body. This time, with the CUBOT X18, the smaller body isn't here unfortunately since bezels have been kept and not even limited.

Anyway, the device itself is actually pretty good, one of the few available with a removable battery and decent performance. I hope CUBOT improves the camera department because it CAN work better.

So, do I recommend it? If you are looking for a pretty cheap device with a sort of "Infinity Display", yes.

Pros:

Excellent Screen Quality

Removable Battery

Solid Performance

Notification LED

Cons:

No Magnetometer and/or Gyroscope

Disappointing Camera Quality (both)

Bezels are still here

How to root this X18 ?

Hello, and thanks for the review !

I bought a X18 for 70 $ at Cybermonday, and it's a very good phone in its class, espacially for this price.

Just for the fun (and to be able to install adaway) I would like to root it but didn't find a way to do it.

I managed to unlock the bootloader and to create a boot.img, but when I try to patch the boot.img with magisk (latest version 14.0) Magisk crashes and force close each time (found no solution for this in the magisk threads)

As far as I saw there is no TWRP recovery for this model, and I don't feel comfortable enough to port an existing TWRP.

So, with the (little) knowledge I have I'm stuck.

If somebody has a clue ??

[LineageOS Questions & Answers] Lorenzopapi99:
It's possible to reduce the phone idle consumption?
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] D4ND310:
Switch to Efficiency or Power Save mode, your phone will still run beautifully. Use the "Battery Optimisation" feature in the options menu, too, which puts apps to sleep after some time unused.

And/or, manually disable background data/sync etc. for any apps you don't explicitly need running.

Close(or limit) any open, unused networks and disable location services when not in use and especially when the screen is off.

If your running the base LineageOS that doesn't support those features there are various lightweight apps to do the same.

You might consider switching ROMs to a custom LineageOS build, such as AOKP, Resurrection Remix, among others, which all have built in functionality to control many extra settings from the UI that isn't immediately accessible on the default LineageOS.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] zzz2002:
I installed an app called ForceDoze. Depending upon the day and how busy I am, but it has approx triple my battery life. An extreme example is my Tab 3 which left unused over a week end had an estimated battery life of 6 days, before install it I would expect 18 hrs. YMMV of course.

I'm currently running RR 7.1.2 (Nougat) which failed when trying to install Xposed Framework and I really want to give Xposed a full-fledged go so I'm wondering what marshmallow rom is the most compatible with Xposed with my xt1607 g4. Any help is greatly appreciated. I did some digging and I'm leaning towards CM13, which I understand is no longer supported, but please express your opinions. Thanks!
[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] DB126:
Stock - works great with Xposed. Why mess around with a custom ROM if going w/Xposed which gives you complete control over everything except (arguably) theming.
[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] dave31g:
I first rooted and flashed this phone months ago and have lost the stock rom since (rookie mistake, I know). Is it possible to find it online/is there a repository somewhere? I tried the cyanogenmod 13 and xposed which seemed to work flawlessly until I realized I couldn't make or receive phone calls. Just now got it all figured out and it was most definitely a doozy haha. Still not 100% on what went wrong but ya.

Edit: Just found a debloated/odexed version here on XDA. About to flash it and jump back into this nonsense that I enjoy so much hahaah. Thanks for the suggestion I'm excited to see where Xposed goes on a bare bones rom!

[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] thePanz:
Thanks Avamander! I'll test your ROM asap! Thank you again for your efforts!

ps: is the new build including the WiFi CRAK fix?

ps2: do you have any resource where to find any guide to compile it?
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] Avamander:
About CRACK, haven't checked, not sure a patch has been released for LOS11, if it has after the build date, let me know and I'll rebuild it.

I used the this https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/d855/build but replaced d855 in commands with d605 and manually downloaded the sources to the according folders.
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] thePanz:
[MENTION=4717674]Avamander[/MENTION]: I tried to install your LineageOS ROM on top of a CM11 (by Varchain, the v11 release), but I get a "Status 7" error.

The error reports "set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed"

Checked the MD5 of the ZIP file and it is correct, both on my PC and on the SD.

Can you help me with the installation?
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] Avamander:
Did you wipe /system (and /cache) and are you using TWRP v2.6.3.0 (that's what I use)?
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] thePanz:
I was using a CWM version 2, and I had to update to the latest v3 (from Varchain, :

https://mega.nz/#!QXZUnbwQ!BRI3ENa-53StAjr2Tq1R-hmyIJ9ZDERWIAxXpx9Hye4) and it is now installing. Or do you suggest to update to TWRP?

I'll test it now.
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] Avamander:
Let me know if the latest works. If it doesn't, let me know if TWRP works :D
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] thePanz:
Ok, CWM v3 installed and Lineage-v11 installed, too.

The install went OK. Few issues encountered so far:

1. looks like the phone WiFi is configured for US area (thus, only channels 1-11 are working, but not mine, as it was configured on channel 13. I had to use https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1982149 to properly fix it. Would be great if the ROM comes with the 1-13 set of channels.

2. Installing TitaniumBackup: install ok, but it did not run, ADB reported "libtitanium.so not found". Looks like the v8.1.0 is not able to extract the ARM library. I had to extract it from the APK (found here https://www.androidapksfree.com/apk/titanium-backup-apk-latest-version-download/download/) and manually push the library with "adb push libtitanium.so /data/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup/files/"

Couldn't find anywhere else why those errors are caused. Do you have the same behaviour?

btw: thanks for your effort in keeping the D605 alive :)
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] Avamander:
I will investigate the WiFi issue... The TiBu issue, sounds weird, though a lot of old exploits have been patched and some apps might be expecting they exist. Though in my case I could install TiBu without issues from Google Play. I updated the planned task list.
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] thePanz:
Thank you!

As a side note: CWM v3 is also able to lokify the ROM after flashing :) Varchain added it "because I am lazy" (cit.)
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] Avamander:
That means it would still break the signature if I would release a signed image. :(
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] thePanz:
Quick update: the offline-charging is not working.

Switching off the phone and connecting the charger will boot up the phone in the default mode, not "only charging".
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] cikeZ00:
I know this might be a minor bug but auto brightness doesn't work.
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] Avamander:
Never has, never will, there's no brightness sensor hardware.

Oh. Thanks for clearing that up. All in all its mostly stable. :good:
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] cikeZ00:
Another thing i noticed is that some system processes crash at random times. And if I have my own wallpaper set if that happens and I reboot the device it resets.
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] Avamander:

It's more work to create the file for the recovery to verify it. The space is part of the link.

Nope

> Is there really a reason to clean Internal storage and sdcard?

Internal storage? If you mean /data, yes, but /sdcard doesn't need to be wiped.

As a sidenote, I've been rebuilding the entire system today, will see if that brings back the WiFi.

Dorch - Dual Torch​

Its been a while that some newer devices devices now have both Front and Back flash for capturing photos so there but be an app for toggling both of them as torch.​

Features:

Toggle Front & Back Flashlights

Notification Panel Control

Simple & Clean UI

Note:App behaves differently on different devices. On Some devices, both front and back flashlights can be turned on at same time while on some, its not possible due to restrictions by manufacturers. So if on your device, you cannot enable both lights at same time, its not an App bug, its restrictions by OEMs.​

All of a sudden I noticed that my virtual keyboard was not coming on screen at all, no matter what app or things requiring an input.

I wiped the cache and that did not fix the problem. I then uninstalled Gboard update, and that had solved the problem.

Has anyone else experienced the problem? I do want to update Gboard as the update has features that I do like using, but am afraid it will not work again.

Should I contact Google support?

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] aweedman:
Hi all. I have a challenge with my Galaxy S8. I used it on H2O Wireless (AT&T network) for a few months. I then switched over to Total Wireless (Verizon network) for a month. I've switched back over to H2O and data/texts are working fine. However, I can't make or receive phone calls. When I go into the Network Mode settings, the CDMA options still seem to be stuck in there, with none of the GSM options showing. I've spoken to both H2O and Samsung support and neither have an answer - pointing their fingers in the other's direction.

Does anyone have any suggestions other than doing a factory reset? Thanks in advance.

Factory reset with your h2o sim card in the phone. If this doesnt solve the issue download and re flash the H2O csc

Have your H2O sim in your phone, then go to settings>general management>reset and reset network settings, at least try that first.
