5 tasks for Feligres

Thank you for showing up, [MENTION=5880620]Feligres[/MENTION]

I think that the priorities are:

1 - Removal of chinese malware in order to enable the safe use of banking apps.

2 - Installation of Xposed Framework to enable the use of Mobile Faker [Xposed], Device Faker [Xposed] or Market Helper [Root]. This will allow to fake Your Android Device Model and Brand Name, in order to run properly some very famous 3D apps.

3- Porting the Sony 3D Creator app to Mediatek MT6750T. A general port to Snapdragon 8xx has already been achieved by IgorEisberg.

https://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/app-sony-3d-creator-t3669576

4 - Playback 3D videos in SBS (Side-By-Side format) while streaming, instead of downloading to the phone storage. One device with this feature is the old HTC EVO 3D. The modern ZTE Axon 7 Max has an amazing Hub 3D streaming service. Another device that had this feature is Takee 1, until the Ulifang service in China closed down for Takee users. Ulifang may be operating for other brands and chinese customers. However, the new Streaming Settings for Ulifang services are unknown to western people.

5 - To build a scatter.txt file.

Could this work on Elephone P8 3D?

From the TWRP on PPTV King 7s Forum by the user fvdk...

"You definitively have the 3D version but apparently your seller forgot to include a 3D movie player and a 3D photo viewer.

3D Center is an interface to various (Chinese) web services that offer 3D content like and it will probably need to have the K3DX players installed. As far as I know, these are not available for download but I have extracted the apk's and I can send them to you if you let me know your email address.

You can download the 3D-BoBo app from here http://deepoon.com/3dbobo/en-wapindex.html this will enable you to stream the content from within 3D Center app.

Frans"

Therefore, my guess is that the Display services must be enabled by [MENTION=4358937]Oldpapa49[/MENTION]. Give us screenprints of the settings options and homescreen with all apps, please. A review of positive and negative features of Elephone P8 3D is welcome.

Feligres, is it possible for you to help with these preliminary five tasks, please?

Best regards,

YuriRM

To remove malware, you need root and TWRP.

Is there for this TWRP model?
[Other Tools & General Discussion] Oldpapa49:
Ok. Screen shots

i did get the 3D-BoBo apk, but it crashes on the phone.

The 3D Media version I have is 1.0.5 and was updated via the app after I got the phone.

I have found 3 3D streaming services, I have no idea if I should link, but they are called Cartoon HD, Movie HD, and Newest 3D Movies.

I have had the phone for just over a week and still poking around.

Like are 3D. The 3D Media and Eassee 3D seems to work well for me. Eassee 3D auto select or was it I made the settings from viewing posts.

Problem with Eassee 3D is that it does not stop sleep..

I have loaded all sizes of 3D movies and youtube 3D videos to try.

Eassee 3D requires little adjustment while 3D Media does need a few.

I have not put a sim card, because I have T-Mobile and it would only do 2G Edge. I use Wifi and tether from my cellphones or home/work wifi.

Battery seems to last long for when I'm playing.. And does charge fast enough for me.

This is not my primary phone.

I notice a slight distortion of small text. I take it that it could be the Parallax display doing this. My Evo 3D was to small to notice.

I have Spiderman 3D from wayback of the EVO days, installed it, did not notice 3D.. Need to try again..

But find some screen shots that I did. If you need more let me know.. You might need to repeat.. 69+ years plays a little confusion to the brain.

The stock ROM of Elephone P8 3D is not yet available at the official download page.

https://www.elephone.hk/downloads

[MENTION=8990807]pdegraaf[/MENTION] are you able to fully extract the stock ROM from your device, in a format usable by Flashtools, and deliver it to Feligres, please?

Many people are watching this thread, curious about it. They are willing to buy this device once a lead developer from MovilesDualSIM Foro gives support to 3D enthusiasts.

Would you like to join the Tridimensional chat in Telegram app?

c.f. scatter file: I'd recommend to use scatter file from P8 mini.

Memory layout fits with the partition information given in this thread respectively the information spit out by Device Info HW app and Disk Info app.

Any arguments against it?
[Other Tools & General Discussion] ProfessorKnox:
Update:

Used successfully P8 mini's scatter file and preloader_p389bf.bin file to flash Paul's TWRP and then via TWRP Magisk.zip.

I had to flash Magisk.zip from an USB stick, because /data partition isn't mounted by default and I also coudn't mount it in TWRP.

Therefore I had to do TWRP backup to USB stick too.

Maybe someone can find out why /data isn't accessible nor mountable in TWRP.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] YuriRM:
Thanks for this nice demonstration on the scatter file! Can you fully extract the ROM and send it to Feligres, please? Another request is a thorough review on Elephone P8 3D.

[Other Tools & General Discussion] ProfessorKnox:

[Other Tools & General Discussion] Feligres:
I already have the rom downloaded, thanks to ProfessorKnox.

I completely do not know this smartphone. I did not know there was a P8 3D

Is there a combination of keys to enter recovery?

For example, the Bluboo S8 had no combination. Only by ADB or QuickReboot type app.

For that reason, I sold the Bluboo S8. Complicated, very complicated to work like that with a Smartphone,

Now I'm working on several portroms for the Uhans Max 2 and time I do not have much.

Any news on a simpler way to root the P8 3D?

The first post is very detailed but I'm sure I will brick them it I do it that way. I bought 2 of them and just discovered Adware/trojan-like behavior coming from beautysnap.apk which is hidden vendor junk you can't get rid of. I think it's connected to com.android.snap which I was able to disable but can't say it feels safe.

Support and feedback from Elephone don't respond so I doubt there will be Oreo or even security updates..
[Other Tools & General Discussion] YuriRM:
This is a clean method to root. Other methods will introduce malware in your device.

Which security apps have you installed on your device?
[Other Tools & General Discussion] TheMarchHare:
I know but I was talking about something via Odin and a zip or similar. At least something that doesn't cause a full reset to get root and is slightly more idiot proof ?.

Might be outdated but I upgraded from a Samsung S4 and S5 so it might not be as simple anymore.

Dr. Web flags it as AdwareHidden.201 I think as of today, it was clean yesterday.

Malwarebytes finds nothing yet, neither does ESET, haven't tried the rest yet.

Other then that I just monitored outgoing traffic.

The thing is brand new, this is even one of the first things I used a browser for so any outgoing traffic isn't caused by me.

It could be an FP but not likely if you check it's past in Chinese phones and the virustotal reports.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] YuriRM:
AdwareHidden.201 - beautysnap.apk

Your ROM has been tampered with. Who is the seller?

Have you tried to install a NoRoot Firewall by Grey Shirts or similar? It will cut access to adverts.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] TheMarchHare:
The Geek or The Geeks something like that on AliExpress as a pre-sale thing.

I don't notice any ads but I run all WiFi through a VPN so it gets blocked by hosts files. The rest gets blocked by ad blockers.

I have 2 P8 3D's Both with com.gangyun.beautysnap on them in the vendor sys directory. Com.android.snap doesn't get flagged. Just beautysnap.

The phones did not look tampered with.

If I check wireless update this is my build Elephone_P8_3D_20180126_150244

Also factory reset installed it again because I used that on one phone already.

Lol I'm just now noticing the "Sent from my take 1" ?

I did notice both you and Feligres mention Chinese malware so I just assumed you had one.

Python is more native for me so that might be helpful in the future. I just hope someone is able to build an easy root zip or something. I had so little luck with this thing that I'll surely brick it.

I made a screenshot of the service and program running underneath it, can't upload it here so I'll just type what it says from Malwarebytes' program list.

Com.android.snap

Com.gangyun.beautysnap

Package size: N/A

Installed: December, 31, 2008

Source: System

Last Update: December, 31, 2008

Version: 1.2.1_161230

Foreground Time: 0s

Last Used: N/A

Cache Size: N/A

Note that I cleaned program and cache data.

Also note that most system programs are set to 12/31/2008.

It looks like it never ran before.

It kind of looks like the same issue the Doogee and a few other chinaphones had.

Also note that I do have the k3Dx 3D Media program installed (just needed an update) but no 3D photo program. I also have the same "allow doesn't work" bug when programs ask for permission.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] Oldpapa49:
Ok, I have checked my p8 3d and came up with the same 2 files scanned with the same program.

So you have the same with deny. Allow issue. Nice to know.

You can allow in apps settings.

Could this be a false positive?

[Other Tools & General Discussion] TheMarchHare:
The malware in Doogee's and clones is way worse then what we are dealing with. The Doogee ROM discussions have literal quotes of "which firmware version is less malicious 0801 or 1105". People sent them back to their resellers getting a "fixed" version back which removed one issue but introduced 10 others. It's kind of a horror story.

Circling back to our issue at hand. As far as I can see right now rooting is the best option, but, it's pretty complex to do/you can, and will, brick it if you make a mistake. It's not "Newbie Friendly" download Odin, download a zip, connect your phone and flash YET.

Another issue with rooting right now is that most people started using their phones right away so a forced file deletion is not ideal for everyone, especially if you take into account that it takes 20-30 minutes alone to change all settings to "no thank you Google you don't have to document every move I make" now a days ?.

Then having everything backed up, most people won't bother.

Come to think of it I don't even have an empty microSD.

What I did notice in Dev mode was that you can slide unlock the bootloader! Just hit the OEM unlock switch and done. This is most likely because we are running some sort of version of eleOS and if you check the topic about flashing Elephone wants to make it easier to load 3rd party ROMs.

Another possibly useful thing I found is in the wireless update. It allows you to "use other file". That might be exploitable.

And finally the com.gangyun.beautysnap. It's not good but it's not nasty. For now go to settings > apps and show system files. Force close and disable com.android.snap, clean the program data and cache then it seems to be dormant and as far as I can tell it doesn't restart itself on reboot.

It isn't a fix but a band-aid until rooting is more beginner friendly.

Also beautysnap is known adware (not a virus but not something you want) so everyone use the feedback eleOS thing to tell them to remove it.

Will they remove it? Unlikely since support ignores all emails but we might as well fill their inbox with complaints just like we all got free adware on our phones.

Custom ROMs with Trojans in it is just sad.

Then again people also add great looking programs in their builds without reading the privacy policy. Nova launcher is a great example of it. Looks great, works smooth but unless you firewall it completely it also functions as a complete keylogger, well documented in the privacy policy.

As for the EleOS running on the P8 3D. All I can find hidden away seems to be beauty snap which in terms of Chinese malware is a minor form and would be better classified as bloatware/adware.

To be certain I run daily scans with multiple programs to see if I missed something just to be sure.

[MENTION=4358937]Oldpapa49[/MENTION] did you do a full root or disable it like I did for now?

A bit off topic but I noticed people asked how to make 3D photos, while it should be possible with a photo app (haven't found one yet) you can convert any picture you make to 3D by clicking 2D in the gallery app (or 3D Media app) it will then show a 3D icon and the picture will be "kind of" 3D.
