[Guest dakok]

Iz could be some stuff from SD card perhaps?

[Guest baldos81]

[Guest Mr.Markos]

Lenovo a806 is more expencive ~35 USD

It has 1 SIM card and it's not tested by comunity yet.

I'm sorry you're right, I didn't notice banggood changed the value back to euro instead of dollar

[Guest baldos81]

2.4.4

[Guest matejsolid]

Well I'm going to try installing via TWRP and we'll see ! :)

[Guest korekore1]

that micromax official rom seems to have an excellent stock camera app,check it out..!

 

[Guest slime00]

this official rom must be very bad..!In the video he talks about lag on games and 1,3-1.4gb of ram used by the system,leaving you with 600mb of free ram for the rest of your apps!Lets stay away from this rom!

 

The good news is that he said the phone does support otg!

edit:probably not..!

no, otg doesn't work, but rom for sure can be optimized... it's an official release, for sure a good base for modding!

[Guest yuusuv]

Baldos.. is this bug?

See the core.. its jumps from 0 to 7?

[Guest xeros2]

yuusuv, it's not a bug, it's a feature :-)

It's normal that unused cores are being stopped.

If there wouldn't be such feature then the battery wouldn't last more than few hours (even if phone wouldn't be used).

[Guest dakok]

Isn't it normal that first cores are active, for example

0

0&1

0&1&2 

etc.

 

not 0&6&7???

[Guest xeros2]

Not always - it depends on tasks that are running on each core and presentation by monitoring applications.

It's not efficient to do move running threads to lower numbered cores just because they are free.

I have mentioned presentation of monitoring applications as some apps can ignore which core is which just sorting by core usage - this could make feeling that threads & cores usage are like dakok said, but in reality they are not.

Hello,

I tried yesterday to put Baidu v54 ROM on my device but I had one wierd problem. Well.. When I put new rom on the device its okay, but after putting gapps on the device it starts to break when I reboot the phone. In this moment when it should recognize SIM card it says: Slot 2: No SIM card detected and it shows again intro picture ( like its rebooting again ). I can rapidly turn on Airplane mode and then its fine cause it doesn't need SIM card again... I played with this till 5 am yesterday and now I got some idea.. maybe its problem with SIM PIN, it never asks me for this, and in this moment when I need to put in, it crashes and shows boot screen.. Whats your opinion for resolving this problem?

 

Thanks

I suppose you changed the language to english and have a PIN code enabled. The key pad that pops up when it asks for the PIN code is bugged and causes a reboot when the language is set to english. Do a factory reset from TWRP/CWM, reboot, do the initial configuration again and remove the PIN code.

 

ps: if you used dakok's modded rom that has english enabled by default then you may have to flash a different rom or restore your backup to remove the PIN code (you do have a backup, right? :) )

That doesn't sound good. Try to make a screen recording, if you watch it on PC and the flickering is visible then it's caused by software, if not then hardware. You may try to flash a different rom to see if it's still present.

[Guest yuusuv]

Hi baldos, it seems your v1.1 rom is kinda buggy.. my antutu scores 17k ? then 18k, at max is only 25k.. is there something wrong?

Take out SIM, put it in another phone and remove SIM pin :D

There is a short warning about this at the first page.

Nice, I didn't know that.

I already removed pin code and I will try baidu. It seemed really fast.

Hopefully, no other bugs will come out.

Do Micromax Nitro A310 and Himax Polymer have something in common besides being Coolpad F1 rebrands? :D

 

 

Micromax Logo

 -> This logo looks like from some croatian brand :D

 

 

Himax Polymer official wallpaper:

 

P.S. I added few Baidu Drives with roms and stuff here

This one is fresh and it has a 4.4 F1 wcdma rom from today...

 

 

P.P.S.

Slyder and X_s did not release last week MIUI builds yet.

There is no much activity regarding new roms in Chinese forums

 

I belive that they are waiting for official Coolpad 4.4 release.

And MIUI v6, of course :D

I was thinking the same yesterday, It seems they like to throw punches! :D I like more the micromax, since it's left-handed :D

I discovered (maybe) because it's impossible to recover the twrp backup yuusuv posted some days ago, it appears to be corrupted in a file inside the system folder (the "iamcdrom" inside the mobile toolkit folder), so the only thing i could do with that backup is to extract the system folder minus that file, but it is possible to extract (and maybe use to fix 4.4 roms) the full lib, app, bin, data, etc, fonts, framework and some other folders. If you may find it useful, you can download the rar here: https://mega.co.nz/#!58xx2AgI!ElJoiaKf2cExPitUnvTBVqsOiquIi-6l5DdeNgrai78

Iamcdrom is a partition that acts like CD drive when you connect the phone to PC and it autoruns the coolpad driver in chinese

Isn't it?

[Guest slime00]

should be, since it pops out when connecting the device to the computer. So I don't think it's so important into building/porting parts of the rom, I assume the core of the system is there!

Yes, as I remember and understood correctly, there was info sometime ago from one of above MIUI developers in one of the last MIUI versions for F1 thread that he's stopping work on MIUI v5 for Coolpad F1 and he might catchup again with v6 sometime later if Android 4.4 will be released.

[Guest matejsolid]

For some reason,flickering disappeared when I returned to Baidu repack by dakok.

It was only noticeable in app MyFitnessPal.

 

I tried screen recording and it wasnt present in video.

 

Anyway,laek.17 notified he would release v2.1 version yesterday and two days almost passed and no info from him.

When can we expect v2.1 version,hopefully as he sad with fixed nofitications and sound issue ! :)

[Guest SeerJ]

she said today post the link of the v2...

he added the gesture sensing option and he takes so time because his phone lost the imei and he had to flash it
