Hi all,

I follow Aditya Singh's article to port 3 twrp recoverys for Voyo i8 max.

Installing with SP Flash Tool, I can boot to each recovery of them.

You can choose one of them and I hope it works well on you pad.

* I'm not a pro. Thus, I may NOT provide help for your technical problems. I also NOT sure those recoverys won't damage your pad or data. If you have doubts about this, please do not download them.

Download link: (As a new guy, I can't post any link now. Open it by yourself)

drive.google.com/drive/folders/1DSPQWmFFQlDvPLZUKupo8TpU2dHTueYB

Note:

1. The original twrp recoverys are prepared for Xiaomi Redmi Note4_MTK by cofface and geoanto555.

2. Aditya Singh's article is "How to Port TWRP for MediaTek 64 bit MT67XX Devices!!"
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hs4842:
I have the i8 Plus framework file that Voyo has for an i8 reload image. I will try my hand at creating TWRP file and see how they differ. Really need to get my device rooted so I can get the CPU control optimised and to see just how much of the OS is faked by parms in the kernel.

Already had one Octa-Core pad that was actually a dual core hyped up. Lucky for me the guy was in the USA and filed for a refund on it. Only found out after I rooted it and reran tests to really see what was on the inside.

Even so, there are a lot of great reviews about my device. Perhaps I'll try my hand at porting Dirty Unicorn, Remix OS, or Android 8.x.

As is, I'll pay my review after I load the second SIM with my new number.

ADMINISTRATOR: Can we get our own forum group for our device?

Device: Voyo i8 Max

Device code: i8-max

Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jacky Lan:
Hi bro,

Honestly, I don't figure out what you mean 'cause my English is poor. I guess you wanna find a method to root your i8 plus. I port a twrp for i8 plus with the same method I mentioned.

Again, I don't guarantee that this recovery will not damage your device. You MUST take risk by yourself.

By the way, what do you mean about "ADMINISTRATOR: Can we..."?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hs4842:
The file on the Voyo site is for the i8-Plus. I have sent repeated emails to "VoyoJack" and have received no response. I have another email address for him and I will try that way. I have recently tried to review the files and found that the framework is the wrong one. I think Voyo made a mistake in posting it - but it is possible that the same framework loads on both devices. Voyo has yet to confirm this.

The actual .img file is a SP Tools recovery image with scatter. (If you don't know what that means, look up how the SP Tools program works).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skeltonh:
Actually the file is a scatter retrieved file that is an entire copy of the i8 Plus framework - that is loaded on i8 Plus and Max (not sure if loaded on PRO). The USA versions of the i8 Max have additional security measures to keep folks from modifying them. Although bootloader unlock programs for other Voyo products seem to work on this device as well.

The device may very well have fake IMEI numbers. The IMEI number does not pass validation. While they will work on most networks, they are still invalid IMEI numbers. Additionally, the serial numbers of these devices are 0123456789ABCDEF - which means they are common hack loads of Android on the device. Even though the device has great performance, the drawbacks of having them work on LTE networks, and overheating of the communications chip are common problems. The overheating causes the device to cut back on communications. Which pretty much sucks if you are trying to play an onlilne game with multiple users.

I have the Voyo i8 Max with two different carriers loaded. AT&T and T-Mobile respectively. It works. It does what I want it to do. However, the fact this has IMEI issues, is darn near almost impossible to root, and has a support system that sucks (zero communications and support from Voyo) should turn away users that are less daring.

Need rom dump of I8 Max

Hello,

I'm new to the I8 Max and have had no joy with Voyo, who do not really seem interested in the foreign markets.

I am very interested in your post and I tried to flash the TWRP recovery but now my I8 Max will not work - it is bricked. I need a rom dump of the system from SP Flash Tool or WwR_MTK_2.40 so I can restore the entire firmware including bootloader. If anybody out there can help, it would be appreciated. MediaTek chips are very robust and as long as I can obtain the original firmware, I should be able to flash back to a working state using SP Flash tool. If someone has the correct firmware from the manufacturer, that would be a blessing. I appreciate any and all help offered.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Justray:
Hi guys. I just boarded the Voyo i8 max ship so lets see what else we find out.

Mine does have GPS. Google maps locks a location with hardware gps only. I don't use google location services and never will (in any of my devices).

No compass still. That's fine with me and I knew beforehand.

I think voyo does have interest in the overseas market as the device has keyboard and manuals in some kind of English but is not interested in having real customer support (as spected from a cheap China device). No suprises for me there.

Screen is a little unresponsive to touch probably because of the plastic screen protector or because of the 'palm rejection' from the pressure pen compatibility. I won't take the screen protector until the pen arrives... if it ever arrives (bought from Geekbuying).

Scroll is sluggish due to kernel tweaks or something but you can 'fix' it.

Awesome solution to the choppy scrolling: SuperTouch app from the play store. I'm amazed this really worked and no root needed to boot! Honesty don't know how that shlt works but it does. Set it to 500 smooth level because I didn't pay for the full app but damn, I might do as well because the recommended smooth level for this device's specs is more than triple! But you need to pay a few bucks.

Audio suck balls. Mono and as loud as a wishper. It almost makes the job done. I will try to hack the butt out of this device in a couple of monts and try to install real speakers and getting stereo might be a challenge depending of how stupid voyo 'engieneers' were.

Cameras are a joke (as spected).

Screen is nice (probably half the reason we bought this device) but spect bleeeding and quirks. Mine has shadow eyeliner at the right edge.

Keyboard is not worth buying unless at a discount or you really, really need a screen cover. I know I do. Plus point being bluetooth, bad point having the worse back shortcut ever. Home is esc, back is that mac flowr thingy + tiny ass backspace and recent apps...kinda shortcut is alt+tab. Alt+F4 is impossible to do with this keyboard.

The experience of the typing. Its usable, better than touch typing the screen while sitting on the desktop, but way worse than using swype, swiftkey or google board gliding. Still a pain because its like typing in a remote control.

It attaches to the device pretty poorly. It preffers to attach to the front of the device.

Unlike the voyo i8 pro this one has google play working out of the box.

Wifi is poor at medium range and unusable at long range. 2.4ghz. Haven't testet 5ghz.

4G is unavailable to me as my carriers only use B2 and B4 which this tablet doesn't support (haven't put a SIM yet but will in a couple weeks).

The pen... buttons don't work according to everyone. I can't tell, mine was never shipped.

That's all so far. I have had this device for almost an hour.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimapollo:
Hi, i received mine 2 days ago, what a mess.

First of all i received a used one - well, if it would work fine i would be able to figuere out a discount and i would be satisfied, but....

the frontfacing cam is build in upsidedown (how idiotic is that?), the back cam is not even recognized by the firmware, the pen they sendet me was not that silver thing, but a black one with a wipe button instead of two buttons - but not working on the tab, i ordered before a spare pen at ebay, the silver one - also no function. Means to me, that the display just not work as it should.

The Software has a patch from August 2017 ! Android 7.1 would be ok, but August 2017? - wtf.

It's a shame.

Sending it back, would take me months untill that came back from China, and i would have paid the amount worth the tab for shipping...

When will i ever learn it? Don't buy stuff like that in a chinese shop and even the Chinese can't build quality for no money.

Maybe with a custom Rom it is usable for something... don't know what for, but something :)

Jim

Btw. : Has anybody tried to install the OS-Download from Voyo Website? Should this be done by copying on a SD, and install from SD in the bootloader option?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Justray:
I don't really recommend those things. Normally I would but some reports from the voyo i8 plus reported factory reset froze the device and the first firmware available from voyo couldn't be flashed. I haven't followed that Reddit so I don't know if the second firmware worked.

:rolleyes: Then again it would be nice for someone to bite the bullet and report if those aren't problems for the i8 max.

The camera is upside down probably because your device is "refurbished"... and not by voyo (geekbuying does that). So the monkey who assembled your device put the camera backwards and the back camera is unplugged. Might as well disassemble the tablet and post pictures of, I want to replace the speakers.

The pen should work, here's how:

Put the aaaa battery, if is too expensive buy an energizer 9v (those squared ones) and open it. It should have several aaaa inside.

Once the pen has battery get it close to the device and reboot the device. This should pair them.... Or so I was told in a YouTube video. I can't test it because my pen never arrived and replacement was sent thru cheap Singapore post, so it takes one or two months to arrive if it ever arrives (my local post office employees like to steal stuff time to time).

I suggest you to test both pens and share with us your results.

Found a really awesome solution to the choppy scrolling: SuperTouch app from the play store. I'm amazed this really worked and no root needed to boot! Honesty don't know how that shlt works but it does. Set it to 500 smooth level because I didn't pay for the full app but damn, I might do as well because the recommended smooth level for this device's specs is more than triple! But you need to pay a few bucks.

Next I recommend: Simple Pie app, gives you pie controls at the edges (back, home, recent) so when you use this 10" behemoth in portrait mode you don't need to slowly and painfully move your fingers all the way to the bottom of the device. I suggest to change hold back button setting to switch to recent app. You just hold it and switches to your previous app (like a quick alt-tab). Change the recent apps button hold to multi window. Finally the color scheme to black because that blue sucks.

Lastly, has anyone tear this suckers apart? Because I might be the first but I don't have a good camera with me (my phone's back camera is busted). I really want to fix/replace those pathetic mono speakers we got. My instinct tells me is not a software issue.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimapollo:
recovery mode - yes - , but where to store the files that came from the Voyo Website? In the "early days" :) it was usual to store the files on a SD card an turn the phone/tablet in bootloader mode on, then selected something like "install from SD" in a menue - and done... But...

the bootmenue on the i8 Max only shows:

[Recovery Mode 1]

[Fastboot Mode 2]

[Normal Mode 3] <<==

If i choose Recovery, there will only be the Robot saying "No command"

so where do i have to store the files to recover with the new files?

The Pen: Nope, even with the mentioned method there is no response from the pen on the tablet. So my hope was, that with the "new" firmware from Voyo Website, i would at least get the pen working, cause to be honest, i don't care about the cam on a tablet.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Justray:
Alright, more updates--

Don't use both bluetooth and wifi at the same time. Wifi will drop and youtube struggles with the bluetooth/wifi interference. Chinese man, can't test their ****.

---------- Post added at 12:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:26 PM ----------

I found the instructions at the Chinese site (English contains no help whatso, haven't tried the Rus site but can't read moonrunes).

http://www.myvoyo.com/xiazai/anzhou/i8_Max/jiaocheng/1053.html

Now the firmware says its for a battery issue or more like it didn't showed the battery at 100% charge when finished. If your battery does reach 100% then I don't suggest to flash anything as there's an inherent risk involved. If you have the latest firmware I suggest only do a factory reset.

But like I said before someone might bite the bullet first.

My pen has yet to arrive probably because I messed up and didn't ask geekbuying support to send me the pen thru DHL, even if I had to pay extra for shipping. DHL takes 5 days, Singapore post takes two months if it ever arrives. Geekbuying sent the stylus back in nov 3, supposedly arriving nov 9. Exactly a month latter and no news.

If I don't see that stupid pen by the end of this month I will buy another one.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Justray:
Another month and the pen FINALLY ARRIVED!!!

Works with the device. No pressure so far.

Apps tested, Autodesk Sketchbook and MediBang.

Pros: Came with battery, magnetically sticks to the bottom even with the awful cover keyboard.

Cons: Buttons and pressure don't work.

5 stars! out of 10.

Hi all,

I have a Galaxy Note Edge, model SM-N915FY. It has some weird issue, that is that it freezes (I need to remove the battery, hold power+volume down, reinsert the battery and power on to get it working again):

-At random times when put into sleep mode

-20 seconds after I plug it into the charger and put it in sleep mode

-When I'm using it (happens very rarely, but it does happen)

I already reflashed the ROM, and factory reset it. When reflashing, it gave me an error saying "flash write failure" (phone) and "complete write operation failed" (Odin).

How can this be solved?

Ive owned some great devices for cyanogenmod/lineageos, and ive owned some terrible ones. Nexus phone ans oneplus have been the absolute best - recently the LG G6 (US997 version) has been terrible.

Looking at devices out now - the only phones that have official support for 15.1 that are new(ish) are:

Oneplus devices

nexus devices

xiaomi mi 5, 5s and 5 plus

LeEco Lepro3

Is that right, only those phones?

Which devices are officially supported? Especially interested in cheaper ones - I wish something like the moto E4 was supported better, because imo for most - something like that is more than enough.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] Twodordan:
I also came to this LineageOS forum in hopes of finding a specific thread of newly supported devices.

Because the list on the official wiki https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/ seems to be outdated by this article from April 26th: https://www.getdroidtips.com/lineage-os-15-1-android-8-1-oreo/.

But since that's an article, it's also probably outdated.

So is the community updating anywhere what new phones they got LOS to run on?

[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] yoallen78:
As the title suggests, I'm curious as to a way to increase the DPI for the camera app to increase the quality of photos taken (when zooming in on a crop of a photo). I remember from my Note 3 that there used to be a way to change the quality of the photo (best, better, etc.) which was a way of changing the DPI for the photo taken.

Even if there's a way to do it with root (say by modifying the build.prop file), any advice would be great! ;)

As an alternative, is there a camera app that allows for you to change the DPI and fully utlize the camera hardware? I used to use Camera Zoom FX (Premium) but it didn't play nicely with some of the phones (namely Motorola) that I have used that app on.

Thanks for the tips, help, guideance, etc.! :D
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] 0alfred0:
Not sure what you mean, you can set up to 20mp in the settings. Thats even more than the rgb sensor is capable of. I guess this upscales the rgb sensors color info to the 20mp picture the monochrome sensor is taking. I cant think of anything that Would utilize the hardware more

[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] yoallen78:
I saw the 20MP option but that's not what I'm referring to :D Some camera apps or phone makers allow for you to change the quality of the picture taken in the form of changing the DPI. The higher the number, the higher the quality of the picture when looking at a 100% crop of a photo (but also the file size tends to be larger too). I know it's not common, but it is there for some camera/OEMs.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] 0alfred0:
I dont quite understand what that means though from a technical viewpoint. I am not an expert but i roughly know how cameras work and what parts they are made of (keywords: sensor/pixel size, sensor resolution, bayer matrix, etc.). I never came across something called DPI. I also do not know what should be happening when increasing this DPI.

Maybe you can enlighten me. Although this does not seem to be a feature for the Mate 10 i am very much interested in learning about cameras, especially in mobile devices.

[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] dan mc:
I had a note 2 and a note 4 until just recently. I know the setting your talking about. Its got nothing to do with DPI - its more a compression setting/sharpening setting affects how big the filesize is from your camera as it affects how much each photo is compressed (was listed as "quality" modes? from memory)
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] arctophile:
Yep that's my understanding too - it's basically like 'fine' or 'superfine' settings on point n shoot cameras - dictates how much the JPG file is compressed. FWIW my Note 4 on Marshmallow seems to have dropped the setting, along with most other phones in the last few years. You just get the default compression for photos and bitrate for videos. As [MENTION=1769914]madman_cro[/MENTION] noted, you can make sure you're getting 100% of what the sensor is capable of by shooting RAW and doing the JPG processing yourself. Gotta love it when they remove settings so as not to confuse the average user....
