[General Questions and Answers] Nathan971:
now it works but the screen of the photos is strangely dark while in the videos it's normal. Unable to change the settings in the settings because the app crashes and I need to delete the data to restart it.

I believe that a concrete software update from Vernee is essential but I fear it will never come and videos are always jerky due to exposure compensation problems.

At this point I believe I will sell it too

I had great results during daylight with google camera. I really forgot settings, but i told you it is bad for low light.

Buy redmi note 5 or even redmi 5 and forget vernee ;)
[General Questions and Answers] Nathan971:
in fact I'm waiting for the availability of Note 5 on Gearbest. Yesterday they gave the Redmi 5 plus to € 139, another good choice, but Note is much better.

Anyway thanks for what you did, if Vernee hadn't told lies about the sensors and the Ois of Mix 2 it would have been a good phone

internet problems

I have some issues with the mix 2. Internet pages won't load, movieclips on facebook or IMDB for example. I think it is some buffering problem. The first couple of seconds of a clip play and internet pages start at first. I don't know where or if it's possible, but i hope there is a way to increase the buffer.

A review of the Vernee Mix 2

When i first recieved this phone, i was really happy at the overall look and performance of the device. I had made the decision of buying it after my S4 broke. For about a week i was happy with the device, but i started noticing the phone being really slow, and that some of my apps would crash and that the camera was crap (Based on my experience, the camera was quite a lot worse than my s4 camera). After this i decided to go down the rooting / flashing path. I thought it would be pretty simple, as i had successfully managed to root my Tab A and my previous phone, S4, but it turned out to be such a pain in the ass. At first i didnt know how to do it, then i learnt how to do it but missed out a crucial step, which temporarily bricked the device.

I did finally manage to flash TWRP, but then ran into problems of data being encrypted, which i did manage to overcome, but then had issues with installing magisk modules, as it said that the data partition wasnt mounted (or something similar). I have not been able to fix this problem, or even find someone who had the same problem or a solution.

After having the phone flashed and rooted for about 4 months ( and it was still on the stock ROM ), i started experiencing a lot more problems. The WiFi started to drop out, bluetooth had a really crap range and would drop out, the vibration motor was sporadic, the mobile signal kept dropping out completely frequently and the performance of the device was very slow. I tried resetting the device, unrooting the device, uninstalling TWRP ECT, but nothing worked. This was really annoying as it became basically un-usable ( as a phone at least ) and was the only phone i had at the time.

After all of this, and spending around £170 on the device, i gave up and decided to just go and purchase a different phone, a 2nd hand s7 edge for £185 ( which is basically a steal ). So much faster, better camera ect. Much better quality.

Overall, i wouldnt buy the Vernee mix 2, it may look good, but really isn't. My advice is to save a bit more money and buy a phone from a reputable, well-known company, even if it is 2nd hand.

Also, does anyone actually know how to fix the magisk module error that i keep recieving? As i am just going to keep the Vernee Mix 2 for experimental purposes and for music ect.
[General Questions and Answers] Jetteroh:
Did you follow the thread Vernee Mix2 (4/6gb) [Modding Thread] - page 1. steps? I had not any problem with TWRP/Magisk. In that thread you can read several guy's own experience and writings the steps they used.

Only thoose had problems on update the ROM who had firmware earlier than 2017/10/30.
[General Questions and Answers] BassMobile2018:
I think i followed it correctly, but once i am at home ill restart and try it all again. Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] Jetteroh:
I made a little experiment, just about screentime:

Full battery and switched on a pdf reader and I read for 2 hours. The light intensity was enough for a room, daytime about 5% between minimum and full light.

Now it is on 91% and telling 19 hours is remain. Screen using is 9% percent. So I could read for 14 hours beside it is not draining out of my battery.

I think the screen time greatly depends on how intensive you use.
[General Questions and Answers] BassMobile2018:
I have tried re-flashing everything, but still end up with the same error when flashing a magisk module in TWRP:

Updater process ended with ERROR: 1

Error installing zip file

And an error when flashing a magisk module in magisk:

Creating /data/adb/magisk_merge.img with size 64mb

!/data/adb/magisk_merge.img mount failed

! Installation Failed

I went and updated TWRP and still had the same error, but this TWRP didn't have the weird encryption thing.

Does anyone else know or have any other suggestions?
[General Questions and Answers] Jetteroh:
I do not remember anything like 'Creating /data/adb/magisk_merge.img'. That was long time ago.

I have installed Magisk-v15.2(1520).zip file (size 5.8Mb) from TWRP. Now, how I see, there is a Magisk-v16.7.zip (size 4,0Mb)

Maybe you should try with that old version.

Edited: I just checked on my phone: there is the file /data/adb/magisk.img but nothing like magisk_merge.img! There are other files and map also for Magisk.
[General Questions and Answers] BassMobile2018:
Just tried magisk 15.2 but got the same results, but when i tried the magisk uninstaller, it said:

!Cannot access /data, please uninstall with magisk manager

Not sure what else i can try...

Oreo update

Hey guys,

I'm just wondering if vernee mix 2 will get Oreo update? I see that there are some unofficial updates available and some website says towards end of August but not sure if it is true or not.

Personally, i cant see it coming, the only thing vernee has ever done is releasing the source code for vernee thor & the unofficial update only works for pre oct 2016 devices

with the lies & odd stuff vernee managed to load to the official device specs, id be suprised if they released any major update

[General Questions and Answers] blur.png:
one thing that irritates me to no end apart from no major update (for now) is the oddities, try using terminal emulator & do cat /proc/cpuinfo , you'll see at the end it says MT6757CD which is P25, but do getprop ro.board.platform and you'll see MT6757 which is P20 so i have no clue which one is right

another annoying thing is that if you look up wikichips or wikipedia, helio P20/25 does support vulkan, however on aida64 or any other software it says "no vulkan devices found"

the worst bit is when i ask their online store about vulkan support, they said "they dont support it" and when i ask about oreo update they wont reply

but on the system/lib64 (or lib) libvulkan.so does exist so i will make a tutorial enabling it (oh and it works flawlessly *tested on PPSSPP)

and to add to the "curiosity" if you bothered digging inside their vendor folder, you can actually find sony IMX drivers (ironic since they used onsemi)

so... if vernee representative is reading this:

WHAT THE F***

also i'll post the instruction on enalbling VULKAN at the modding thread, since this one is Q & A thread

I got my Vernee Mix 2 a week ago. I'm very excited, I had the Elephone P9000 before. The camera I think not worse than the p9000. I bought two Mix 2 (for me and my wife).

One thing bothers me:

Both phones have a folder "gangyun" in the main directory. If I delete that, reboot will generate this folder again. My virus scanner has not found a virus. According to Google, gangyun stands for a full-screen ad virus. Do you have that too? Where does the directory come from? How do you get that away? Rooting does not seem to be going yet. Thank you.

Antivirus is not suitable in this situation as it is A PuP you are looking for NOT a virus.

Hey guys.

Got my Mix 2 from Gearbest. I'm very disappointed on battery, all software finds that is 3000 mah. I thought Vernee is serious manufacturer, providing high build quality and legit specs. Also camera is a disaster. Gps is decent, 8-12 sattelites, 3d fix relatively fast. Wifi is very weak, 5ghz unusable. Didn't have issues with bluetooth. I had one total freeze and restart, I hope is software problem. Screen is gorgeous. Phone is kinda heavy, but I will get used to it. I got 2 plastic films and silicone case in package. The films are transport type, they are not of good quality, I removed the back one, because of bubbles and poor margins. Until I can find tempered glass I will use the front one. Battery life is poor, less than 20hrs, with some gaming and normal use.

We got the vernee mix 2 one week ago:

No WLAN Problems

GPS fix inside our home in 5-10 seconds, about 15 satellites

Camera is a bit poor...only daylight-picture look nice...

Battery: shown as 3000mAh in ervery software, the phone is used by my wife, she has to charge it after 3 days of use (most whatsapp...less surfing)

I have the feeling, the phone has a bigger battery than the shown 3000mAh.

No reboots

Not tested yet: Navigation in my car, and there the connection to android auto. I will test in the next days.
[General Questions and Answers] Wollik:
Curious. So is my experience: WLAN is great, especially with 5GHz, I achieve quite high and reliable data transmission (photos) - with 5MByte/s. Only at distance, the WIFI quality decreases more than usual. GPS also fixs inhouse immediately. The compass reacts immediately and correctly. Battery lasts 3 days with WIFI - without WIFI 4 days. Also, my battery is fully charged after 1 hour 35 minutes. By contrast, nothing in the testreport is written about bloatware and the weird gangyun directory. Contrary to the report, a nice silicone case was enclosed. Whether there are different devices?
