Device Info HW app by Andrey Efremov

We need to get a database for Elephone P8 3D because the components and drivers for the several revisions of this device may differ. Under-the-hood disparities may affect the behavior of ROMs.

A nice hardware diagnostics tool is the Device Info HW app by Andrey Efremov. Therefore, I request that you install the app and select Upload device information at the Info Center option in order to feed the Device Info HW database by Andrey Efremov. Then check the database for comparison with other Elephone P8 3D devices.

This is a great help for developers and will ensure that your device is supported too!

Install the app, give it the permissions that it asks for (INTERNET, CAMERA and ACCESS_WIFI_STATE ), and manually select "Use Root" at the Settings option. After applying root you need to restart the app. Then select Upload device information at the Info Center option in order to feed the Device Info HW database. Finally check the database for comparison with other Elephone P8 3D devices.

I have had the Elephone P8 3D for just over a week now. Bought off of Gearbest for around $170 US.

It will not play 3D via web or youtube but will if located on phone. The app on the phone is 3D Media by K3DX.

Unlike the HTC EVO 3D where you can play youtube 3D's and some online 3D service.

I have found a few online 3D movie streams that allow downloads and then you can playback the images.

I have tried locating any new roms, but luck as of yet.

In Display Settings, they have 2 settings, 3D Service settings (no idea what this does) and View point settings

I have T-mobile, so putting a sim card in only gave me 2G., but, the wifi is has both 2 and 5 g settings.

I own a LG V30, so I keep pressing the finger sensor to power on or off the device...

I would like to watch streaming 3D viewing and not to load it into memory cards.

I will try to do the above to have an extra phone added to the mix

Hi Yuri,

Thanks for your reaction. I will be happy to try to answer some of your questions in the coming weeks, but I have not been able to test it all. At the moment the 3D image app is all I tested so far. That looks very nice, but that's all it is. I had hopped the phone would support making your own 3D pictures, but that is not the case. The option to blur your foto is nice. Further, the memory size, the speed, the fingerscanner and the price is what made me decide to buy it.

So happy to test it further, but need some time to do it..

Best regards,

Paul

SnapTube and clones of Elephone P8 3D

SnapTube is an excellent app to locate and download 3D videos.

https://www.snaptubeapp.com/

There is missing information on LCM and Modem. However, the data that you provided on components and drivers is enough to identify suitable clones of Elephone P8 3D on the Device Info HW database. If there is a custom ROM of Android 7.1 or Android 8.1 for the best clone than it can be adjusted to Elephone P8 3D.

Nonetheless, a few more samples of Elephone P8 3D are needed for the Device Info HW database.

Hi Professor,

The partition with the system ROM on it is 61071360 1024byte blocks large. The userdata partition comes at the end and has 57237487 blocks. So I figured if I save 3833873 blocks, than I should have saved everything that matters. So I entered address 0 and address 3925885925 (converted to hex) in the SP tool and it gave me 3.8GB of data. Not that I needed it, because after I unlocked the bootloader, using TWRP (before flashing it), I was able to save all partitons again.

Best to save as much as you can, to prevent bricking of your device...

Good luck and sorry that I am not allowed to post the TWRP link yet, but I am sure you were able to get it anyway.

Best regards,

Paul

Partitions tab - Device Info HW

Paul, why can't we thank your posts? It is weird...

The easiest way to find the Partition Info in a very neat format is by installing the Device Info HW app. Then select the Partitions tab, take a screenshot and post it here, please.

AIDA64 is another good app but the info on Partitions is not so neat.

I bought it at the official Elephone store for 110 Euro. Had to pay a lot of import tax, which made it a lot less interesting price.

Dimenco is glad to see the test version of the WeShare3D Android app working on 3D smartphones! Many 3D videos can be downloaded from the website WeShare3D.

WeShare3D

https://www.weshare3d.com/

[MENTION=8990807]pdegraaf[/MENTION] do you know the dutch Dimenco 3D technology company? It is a spin-off from Philips Electronics. It was bought by K3DX in 2016.

Regarding ROM development for Elephone P8 3D, my suggestion is to enlist the help of [MENTION=5880620]Feligres[/MENTION]. He became an expert on MT6750T and developed many ROMs for Doogee Y6 Max from source. Feligres is now turning his attention to Bluboo S8 and UHANS Max 2 (both Android 7.0 and MT6750T clones). His profile and outstanding work can be found in the spanish forum MovilesDualSim. Check all four tabs of Feligres' profile.

I have tried Eassee 3D and seems to work well. All the others not so good. No 3D selection for glass free.

A question, in the Display settings, they have 2 choices for 3D. The one I question is 3D Service Settings(ON). The other I think I know is View Point Settings which seems to be 1

Can you submit the formal request to TWRP Builder and test it afterwards, please? Their new app must be downloaded first.

Paul told me by private message that his device has a locked bootloader again for safety reasons.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] KP@2016:
My advice is without actually building TWRP from source use this https://twrpbuilder.github.io as suggested by [MENTION=7147494]YuriRM[/MENTION]

Download there app sign in with your Google account and request for a TWRP recovery. All the info is within app check it for sure! :o
[Other Tools & General Discussion] ProfessorKnox:
Is it necessary to go this route?

I just right now ported Jemmini's working P8 Mini 3.1.1. TWRP (https://www.needrom.com/download/twrp-elephone-p8-mini/) to P8 3D.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] KP@2016:
That's great if your port version works then no problem. But building a recovery from device wouldn't be bad idea, depends on you what's in your mind. I gave this idea since its free and works on Mom's Xiaomi device, received recovery within 24hrs
[Other Tools & General Discussion] YuriRM:
TWRP with data decryption

I agree with KP@2016. The source code of the recovery for Elephone P8 3D will be released by TWRPBUILDER if it is not rejected after testing. That is a valuable asset for future TWRP upgrades. Porting is prone to errors.

However, both recoveries should be tested by [MENTION=5990523]ProfessorKnox[/MENTION] in order to be validated.

Both should be included in post #1 if approved but their requirements differ technically.

Look at this example:

TWRP with data decryption now available for the Honor View 10 & Huawei P20/P20 Pro

"The start of all custom ROM development on Android usually begins with a custom recovery like TWRP. Without a custom recovery, it’s usually impossible to flash a ROM. Stock recovery checks to see if the software you’re installing is official, by way of signature verification. A custom recovery usually disables this, allowing you to just install whatever zip file you throw at it. Oftentimes there are issues at first, and on the Honor View 10 and Huawei P20/P20 Pro custom recoveries like TWRP couldn’t decrypt the data partition on the device. This meant if you wanted to make any modifications to /data you had to format your entire phone to remove the encryption and flash a modified Magisk. Thanks to XDA Senior Member Pretoriano80, users of both devices will be able to keep their phones encrypted if they want to modify /data with a custom recovery. You can check out the download links below for your device!

It is important to give a new layout to the initial page of this thread. Elephone will develop the eye tracking module if more prospective buyers are attracted to this device.

Yes, sorry, has been really hectic at work. Rooted P8_3D has been very stable, happy with it. But if we could have a working TWRP version for the P8_3D with data decryption, that would be wonderful....

[Other Tools & General Discussion] pdegraaf:
Please explain what is still working and what is not working. Apparently, you can still run TWRP on the phone, which is good, that maybe your way out. Do you have a boot-loop if you try to start your phone? A backup copy of the boot rom from TWRP might help you (in most cases that will work). Or did I misunderstand your problems?

Hello [MENTION=8990807]pdegraaf[/MENTION] thank you for the rooting instructions.

Well, it worked for my Elepone P8_3D.

I achieved root access while at step 8.

I'm kinda new to rooting so I carefully followed your steps but skipped

1. Back up with SP Flash Tool: I was unable to extract a scatter file from device to use with SP Flash tool so I downloaded the Stock ROM and Stock Recovery uploaded to mega.nz by [MENTION=5990523]ProfessorKnox[/MENTION] as a failsafe.

3. Backup user data: After booting to recovery it simply showed 'no command'. I must've been in a hurry So I backed up all my installed apps with [MENTION=7424515]KP@2016[/MENTION] 's Coolpad Toolkit and exported my internal SD card to a PC. I think you should include in your post the commands for backing up with the built-in recovery rom.

6. Test TWRP by switching off your phone and then reboot into recovery: TWRP launched fine but the user data backup was not successful. Ah, my guess is this partition is encrypted.

could not mount /data and unable to find crypto footer.

Failed to mount /data (invalid argument)

Unable to recreate /data/media folder

unable to mount storage.

After doing a google search, I resolved the encryption issue by typing 'yes' which formatted all user data.

Since the userdata was formatted there wasn't any need to backup again. I went ahead with side loading Magisk and testing if rooting was successful.

And the remaining steps were successful.

Anyway phone is rooted and works fine.

I haven't tested rooting with [MENTION=7424515]KP@2016[/MENTION] 's Coolpad Toolkit though.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] pdegraaf:
Hi,

Glad to hear you got it working., though I can only admit my instructions are not easy and simple to follow. Strictly the dump with the flashtool is not necessary, but I once killed a phone by skipping this step. These days I do not change anything until I made a full backup (saved my new Phone recently when I accidentally bricked it)..

Enjoy your rooted phone, it gives you more control !

Greetings, Paul
[Other Tools & General Discussion] olakunal:
I agree with you on backing up everything before making any changes. The flashtool is indeed a phone saver when things go wrong which is why I made a ROM backup with the flashtool afterwards.

Titanium backup now works flawlessly.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] Blop1759:
Hello,

What a shame I never saw this thread before ...

As far as I know and I can see in the rom and hardware info posted here : p8 mini and p8 3d have exactly the same hardware except the battery and the screen ...

So all I know about p8 mini should apply to p8 3d.

I have already worked on a custom rom for the p8 mini, but was stuck with the iniatialisation of the cameras in the kernel drivers (but manage to make one bootable kernel usable for twrp as it doesn't need cameras : https://github.com/Blop1759/android_kernel_elephone_p8_mini )

The sources from where I started are a mess regarding the initilisation of a sub back camera ... (if someone knows working kernel sources for a mediatek double back camera phone ? )

Stock rom can boot with this kernel but the second back camera won't work (so no 3D ...)

But for p8 mini users, as the cameras are the same - regarding the results on hardware info - a port of the p8 3d stock rom should really be easy and they will gain the ability to use 3D ;)

I really don't know if I will have time to have a look again (I also stopped because I burned the ncp1854 during my kernel tests, writing in the wrong address is not good :-" ) but I have managed to repair it, so I can give a new chance to this phone to have a custom rom (lineageos 14.1 was my starting point, but with all the treble things nowadays why not try to trebleise this phone ?) and so also to the p8 3d as the hardware is the same (I just hope screen drivers won't be an issue)

Phereo 3D instructions

Better ask for support on Display settings at the Elephone website. Those setings may be relevant for interaction with other apps.

Have you explored the settings of all 3D apps?

I am going to repost the instructions that I wrote for Phereo 3D on the Takee 1 thread:

Phereo is a cross-technology 3D photo-sharing platform. Go there to download Phereo TV and Android apps. Browse through the biggest collection of 3D photos. :o

http://phereo.com/

Phereo 3D Photo app does not have native 3D support for TAKEE 1. Only for well-known brands like HTC and LG. Therefore, TAKEE will be assigned with Anaglyph 3D viewing mode by Phereo´s automatic detection mechanism. Do not worry!

Go to Phereo Settings and switch 3D view mode from Anaglyph to Side-by-Side. Do not forget to switch Content from Only Safe to All. Then go back to the Main menu and click Explore. A galery opens with lots of 3D image thumbnails. Click to open a Side-by-Side image. At the bottom left there is the author and title. Click there to open Comments and Photo Info. A red button for Save Photo is available after Photo Info tab is selected.

Click in Save Photo to download an image to your storage/sdcard0/DCIM/Phereo/

Do you have a Micro-SD card? The image will be stored there with a JPS File Extension. To retrieve it use File Manager. Click on the file and complete the action with 3D Gallery. Wait a few seconds for the auto-stereoscopic photo to come in focus. Voilá! :o

Some 3D images have narrow viewing angles and may take up to 30 seconds to adjust to your inter-pupilary distance.

If for any reason there is a need to edit the 3D image with auto-alignment buy the 3DSteroid Pro version or do it manually in the free app. An alternative is to use Phereoshop software.

http://phereoshop.com/

You can also try the QuickPic app.

Have fun!

MediaTek processors are notorious for an inverted Gyroscope bug. Fortunately, it can be fixed in the kernel by the ROM developer. Third party apps are not able to solve this bug.

They run on Android 7.0 currently and are Parallax type phones.

The one item I would like if possible is to playback SBS while streaming instead of downloading to the phone storage. Kind of like to old HTC EVO 3D that I still have :)
