Coolpad F1 8297w - Review / Info / Software / Custom Roms

Coolpad promised one major update,i don't have the link,don't ask me!So if the rebranded F1s came out with aosp 4.4 there is a big chance they get updated to L just like we did with kitkat.

 

The question is:Do you really want Android L? Xposed will not be available for ART as the dev clearly stated and L is ART only.Apart from that i don't even like KitKat and the whole new Apple like philosophy that google follows after jellybean.I mean come on,i have Kitkat and whenever i do something even remotely related to location services google busts my balls for allowing them to have control over my location at any time.The popup even fades away the ''don't show this again'' option when you choose ''don't allow''

 

I won't even start with the KitKat's sd card fiasco..

 

I think that i will completely uninstall any google component from my phone and go with alternative stores,email apps and maps.Google is becoming Apple

Yep, we are still trying to find some decent 3d performance for kk! I don't believe the rebranded phones will see any update, it's not Coolpad that has to update them, but both Himax and Micromax (and as I found they are not that fond on updating their devices). Our Coolpad will die with the 4.4.2, but I hope it will be at least well optimized when its final update will be released. The Google One thing could help improving portings towards mediatek devices, but if we still lack kernel and drivers it will be no use.

The only thing I want from lollipop is project Volta. Like kit Kat was supposedly good for ram. Anyway, I think I will see android 5 in my Sony Xperia neo v and my Huawei u8800 pro, but not in Coolpad f1. Shame really...

Jake did you find a fix for the SD in Mlais Rom?

Yes/no. XInternalSD works/doesn't work. It changes the default directory, but then gallery force closes (didn't happen with Laek 2.1 tho). When you delete it, the fc doesn't appear, but also the directory is still changed. So its "temporal".

Been trying to figure this out. Both of those links lead to the same page and ROM for me.

Am I missing something?

 

No you're not, the actual link for PURE AOSP is this: http://www.needrom.com/download/coolpad-f1-8297w-pure-aosp/

 

Yes - sorry - I posted the same link twice instead of:

 

jonzalvo AOSP: http://www.needrom.com/download/coolpad-f1-8297w-aosp

jonzalvo Pure AOSP: http://www.needrom.com/download/coolpad-f1-8297w-pure-aosp/

 

I've edited my original post but obviously can't edit those that quote it! :D

Its been some time since posted something...I'm using laeks v3 for some time and I must say that for me it's the most complete rom that I used..

And one question..could someone recommend some case for me that is practical and good for protection? Thanks

I'd suggest a silicon case like this http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Free-shipping-High-Quality-New-Style-Crystal-Clear-TPU-Silicone-Soft-Cover-Case-for-Coolpad-Dashen/2051524771.html  (possibly white or transparent, they are cooler :D) and this http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Clear-Transparent-TPU-soft-cover-case-shell-skin-for-coolpad-f1-8297/2027528246.html as the cheapest and most effective protection against almost every treat, at least if you don't mind to double the dimensions of your phone and go for those weird armored cases :D

To flash that you'll need YGDP Tool and lazy ones can flash 014 ATX custom Lite release in CWM/TWRP from 

here
