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

[Guest slime00]

right now we have two: laek with a v2 released an baldos81 with a v1 ;)

laek speaks for his rom and baldos for his own, for other users yes, maybe it's better if they specify the rom they are talking about  :D

laek's first rom had the same issue with lagging lockscreen. flashed v2 a couple of hours, we'll see in a couple of days. hoping for the best. the one thing i can say is that the rom is perfectly clean and smooth. well done, sir :)

[Guest jakethedooggg]

I only need the led fix, also a fix for the storage, some apps don't use the "sdcard1" as default storage x-x

Currently using Laek rom.

[Guest dakok]

I agree with xeros, please name the rom you comment.

It is hard to understand sometimes.

Luckily we don't have more devs here,

it would be a 4.4 nut house: )

[Guest laek.17]

laek, how did you fix the 3g/wifi issue of v1? simply flashing v19 updates or some tweakings?

I have to ask you two things:

1)What do you prefer, a clean rom with no performance tweaks and scripts (for if you want to put it what you want) or with these? Or mtktweak translated?

2)Could someone enumerate the bugs that you found in my ROM v2?

THANKS!

Friend, tell me some apps that don't use sdcard1?

[Guest jakethedooggg]

Friend, tell me some apps that don't use sdcard1?

Atm only WeChat, it saves pictures in "/sdcard" and not in "/storage/sdcard1" I tried to change internal memory path with xposed, but doesn't work! Weird...

Edit: it worked, but in the toast it said that it was saved in "/sdcard" more weird lol

Btw: The xPosed module is named "XinternalSD" if someone needs it! It seems that 019 build have that bug!

1) as soon as everything major works, is the same for me! you might make two versions of the rom, so you solve the problem! develop a clean rom first and add scripts only at the end to a copy of the finished clean, so you won't lose much time and everyone is happy.

2) I can only talk about v1, but I think most of them are still in ,since I didn't find them mentioned in the description 1) some apps (like sygic) save data on internal storage even if sd is set, 2) sms don't wake the screen when arrived (in version 1 at least, don't know if the wifi patch solves this), 3)headset button doesn't work 4)some app crash (ex. metal slug defense, when you try to play online play store crashes, someone mentioned other apps in previous page but I dont remember now). those are the ones I remember

I solved it with archives of hls rom

[Guest jakethedooggg]

I solved it with archives of hls rom

I'll wait for a patch although I solved it! But the led problem bothers me much more... why they added toast notifications when charger is plugged and all? :/ if Gravity Box could disable them at least... but nope.

V2.1

 

1)Solved, i have extracted some archives from hls rom

2) I have solved the wake up problem (try to disable battery saving mode for now)

3) I haven't a headset with button, so i can't try to fix, i will find one.

4) I don't know why

 

I will thin about 2 versions, Thank you very much

See post #1196 it seems they made changes in the led config, if you could make a patch to revert the 017 config would be awesome. Perfect rom. Thanks for your work [emoji16]

Althrough having optimized version is very tempting, but I strongly agree - some bugs can start from tweaks (like for example with JasonOS), that could be harder to find source of them (pure ROM/Coolpad ROM base or tweaks).

[Guest dakok]

@laek.17

I would like to see MTKtweak translated if you can find some spare time

Pure rom is what I prefer, btw

Many thanks for your efforts and results! :)

 

 

To make things more complicated I added another guide on the first page :D

This time it's for Coolpad F1 absolute beginners - a short guide with basic tools and descriptions

[Guest borsosg]

I succesfully installed the new CoolUi 040 with YGDB tool :). You are right dakok: the Taiwanian version Himax and chinaise F1 are not the same...

[Guest dakok]

Perfect tool for factory roms and for saving phone from a soft brick - what do you think?

:D

[Guest borsosg]

Yes it is. Much better than coolpad download assistant. Very simple to use and fully english.

[Guest baldos81]

Guys, finally fixed all the bugs except 3g/g indicators of status bar that can be disabled in gravitybox. Sony walkman ok, battery charging animation Ok, mtktweak traduced. Please wait for the new version to be uploaded... I'm testing the last things

1) Definately as clean rom as possible. I would like only gapps included.

Personally, i dont wanna see not even viper4android/walkman/titanium/xposed or whatever. Someone can add what he wants.

 

You can add everything as flashable zips, if you would like.

[Guest trashbat]

why is the walkman app included, is there something good about that music app in particular?

please keep it clean and pure,no tweaks,no scripts,no extra apps!It is better to troubleshoot and test a rom without tweaks,if the user wants to he can tweak anything later with xposed modules and build prop manager!

 

Or if you are really into it create a tweaked version and a super clean version
