Guest slime00 Posted June 4, 2014 Report Posted June 4, 2014 the 1.0 version does it, the 2.0 no more, it's fixed
Guest goodfella123 Posted June 4, 2014 Report Posted June 4, 2014 I was using MIUI v02 by emjot, but have now installed Pure AOSP v2.0. Thanks for the recommendation slime00. I was happy enough with MIUI and Nova launcher on top. Unfortunately with the MIUI rom, i always felt there was a 2-step app management type thing going on i.e. if i changed a setting i wondered if it would need changing again somewhere else. Now on Pure AOSP v02 i have only enabled developer options and let play store install my apps and i'm more or less back to what i'm used to. The menu's seem slick, it's rooted and g-apps is pre-installed. Nova launcher is also pre-installed and the whole rom generally has a more familiar feel to it for me personally. Also, my service provider (GiffGaff) is recognised on Pure v02 rom, but on MIUI only the parent network (O2) was recognised. With regards to the bricking, the warning about formatting the memory card using the phone is still there, unless the note is still there from v01 ? Also, reading previous comments about battery life, i think it is good However, does anyone think the battery takes a long time to charge (not that this is a bad thing)?
Guest slime00 Posted June 4, 2014 Report Posted June 4, 2014 one user of the italian forum told me he formatted the sd and nothing wrong happened, so the warning is only for 1.0, but I didn't test it personally, i always use the PC to format the SD with every rom and mobile. SuperSU needs to be updated as one of the first things, otherwise it may close some apps like root explorer. Everything else is perfect.
Guest goodfella123 Posted June 4, 2014 Report Posted June 4, 2014 That's ok, yes i'd say a full charge takes approx 3hrs too. Is this better for the battery long term? The reason i ask is my Huawei G300 could charge fully in approx 40mins. Would this have had a special setting in the rom. It was 4.4 Ultra if i remember correctly.
Guest goodfella123 Posted June 4, 2014 Report Posted June 4, 2014 (edited) slime00, just gone into superSU and have chosen to update by CWM. I am now in CWM and at the top it states 'rom may flash stock recovery on boot. Fix?' I think i am being asked to select 'yes- disable recovery flash'. Is this correct? Edited June 4, 2014 by goodfella123
Guest goodfella123 Posted June 4, 2014 Report Posted June 4, 2014 (edited) I chose yes... it's still ok. Edited June 4, 2014 by goodfella123
Guest slime00 Posted June 4, 2014 Report Posted June 4, 2014 I updated directly from play store, it didn't require reboot into recovery mode. Hope you solved it without problems
Guest bryfly Posted June 5, 2014 Report Posted June 5, 2014 It's better from the other AOSP and now has also correct memories and libs updated... I think it's the best Rom right now, light and snappy!I agree re the ROM really good, just come across one hiccup, google maps updates itself, the maps icon disappears and you have to reboot to make it reappear in app's, it then malfunctions , it appears to start twice one on top of the other then it stops working, without the update it works fine, anybody else noticed this prob?
Guest dakok Posted June 5, 2014 Report Posted June 5, 2014 This happens when you flash a new rom with a recovery inside. I saw that in many chinese roms when the rom installation wants to flash it's own recovery. If you chose YES, it should mean that you want to keep your old recovery. That's ok, yes i'd say a full charge takes approx 3hrs too. Is this better for the battery long term? The reason i ask is my Huawei G300 could charge fully in approx 40mins. Would this have had a special setting in the rom. It was 4.4 Ultra if i remember correctly. Slower charging is better for battery. Another advice is to charge it before it drops to 15%.
Guest goodfella123 Posted June 5, 2014 Report Posted June 5, 2014 Thanks dakok, i did choose yes, but CWM has asked me this twice more when i've been in CWM to make a backup. Good news about battery life, should last a while due to slower charging. I think the charging reminder is approx 15% so that makes sense not to let it drop any lower. Will check the google maps thing tonight.
Guest slime00 Posted June 5, 2014 Report Posted June 5, 2014 Had this chat with someone inside (or at least, very close to) Coolpad. Yesterday got inside information, the current version of F1 is in the development of an overseas-based 4.4 system, but sold in some country, is not easy to reveal 2014-6-4 08:37 You So are they planning to release an overseas release of the F1 (Unicom?) With 4.4? 2014-6-4 09:57 Yes, but I do not know the specific time to market, it belongs to company's secrets 2014-6-4 14:09

Same thing happens to me - with update it crash - without run smooth
Guest dakok Posted June 5, 2014 Report Posted June 5, 2014 (edited) Plus, I managed to extract, file to file, that mtktweak app for 6592. This app is very popular in China roms, it seems able to change the clock of our cpu, and also ram usage to save battery consumption. but it's in chinese. If there is someone able to understand and translate this, i could upload the flashable zip I made! Yes, there is someone that translated this. It is Prince Paul K from MIUI forum. MTKTweak Tool v14 Info source Download Installation: Copy to /system/app/ [You should know how to do it properly :)] Edited June 5, 2014 by dakok
Guest slime00 Posted June 5, 2014 Report Posted June 5, 2014 That one seems to be mt6589t-optimized (it also shows it when you open the app), I have one for our mt6592 and managed to do a flashable zip to have it as system app, but everything is in chinese! If someone could translate it, i would be happy to share this (otherwhise unusable) zip pack!
Guest dakok Posted June 5, 2014 Report Posted June 5, 2014 (edited) Which version it that one? Maybe we could ask Paul to translate that one, too :) Edited June 5, 2014 by dakok
Guest slime00 Posted June 5, 2014 Report Posted June 5, 2014 it would be cool if he can do it! We could pass to him and see if he can do the job! mtktweak6592.zip
Guest slime00 Posted June 5, 2014 Report Posted June 5, 2014 hey dakok! I tried coloros and it's a great rom! Unfortunately, whatsapp seems to not work with this rom, have you tried it?
Guest dakok Posted June 5, 2014 Report Posted June 5, 2014 No. I use viber. Color OS is a bit laggy now, but I know now that it is a very interesting rom and the guy who made it knows what he is doing. It is worth remembering and flashing when it becomes more mature...
Guest slime00 Posted June 5, 2014 Report Posted June 5, 2014 yes, an user told me this is still a beta version and a porting from a snapdragon phone, when mtk versions will be out, for sure we'll have better portings! It's nice but whatsapp is very very important for a lot of users here, so it's a no for now!
Guest dalyer Posted June 5, 2014 Report Posted June 5, 2014 No. I use viber. Color OS is a bit laggy now, but I know now that it is a very interesting rom and the guy who made it knows what he is doing. It is worth remembering and flashing when it becomes more mature... Are you going to stick with it for now or try something else?
Guest dakok Posted June 5, 2014 Report Posted June 5, 2014 I will probably replace it tomorrow with a fresh 081 stock version or Baidu.
Guest dalyer Posted June 5, 2014 Report Posted June 5, 2014 I will probably replace it tomorrow with a fresh 081 stock version or Baidu. I thought you tried 081 already (presumably the TD-SCMA version with the relevant WCDMA files overlaid?) and it had too many Chinese apps etc.? http://www.modaco.com/topic/371968-coolpad-f1-8297w/?view=findpost&p=2213023
Guest dakok Posted June 6, 2014 Report Posted June 6, 2014 (edited) :) :) :D That is right, I completely forgot about it. I will have to pick another one... Thanks I'll pick one of these: Baidu, Lewa or Mogu OS (it looks like pure android, slimmed down to 150 MB) Flashing Mogu Nice - CM boot animation :) It has root... Multilanguage Čeština Deutch English Espanol Filipino Francais Italiano Magyar Nederlands Portugues Romana Viet Nam Turkce Russian Greek Thai, Arabian, Hebrew (I am guessing this ones :)) It throws some errors with Google play, but it is solvable by visiting apps - google play and google services and delete cache and data there. Prepare Kii keyboard or another, EDIT: No good, this one - google play does not work - I tried few things, but can't make it work. Pitty, since the rom is fast and smooth :( Edited June 6, 2014 by dakok
Guest dalyer Posted June 6, 2014 Report Posted June 6, 2014 So is Jonzalvo's AOSP Pure v2.0 considered the best of the lot right now? (I'm trying carefully NOT to ask "what is the best ROM?" :D).
