WOW! Your V2.1 version is perfect! No bugs found so far. Extremely fast ROM. This one is a keeper. Good job!  :)

@laek.17 One word-excellent ! Good job :)

Only one thing bothers me,is there any way you could release normal camera app,this camera app is I dont know,not very good compared to Baidu or Coollife...

Also I tried Google Camera for 4.4 phones,I can only record video in 480p resolution ?

Is there any way to install Cyanogenmod camera or the one which comes with AOSP roms for LG ?

 

[Guest Maringer]

I have one last comparison as last possible competitor. How about the Jiayu S1 vs Coolpad F1?

 

 

(Single SIM is no issue for me, I don't use a second one)

 

Don't forget that the Jiayu S1 doesn't have a microSD card slot so you're stuck with your 32GB. Not an issue for some, but I personally need more storage space than this.

 

Also, is a 2300mAh battery enough for a 1080p screen? No idea about the battery life or ROM quality of the Jiayu but no support for KitKat is another negative. 4.1.2 is pretty old these days.

 

One thing to note is that I've seen reports that some of the Jiayu phones also support 900MHz WCDMA despite the fact this band being missing on the reported specs of the phone. However, I seem to recall that this was on a Mediatek Jiayu so it might not be the same situation with a Qualcomm SoC.

[Guest korekore1]

We have to find that rom first!I don't know where.Its some sort of modified aosp kitkat

[Guest trashbat]

See the previous page. I wrote about altering this in Mobileuncle Tools.

 

 

Many thanks! Set it to 145 and it made it so loud it nearly deafened me!! :) 

 

Problem fixed though!

[Guest laek.17]

Yes, I understood, seems pretty legit. Thank you again for your contribution :) but you made another account? I didn't realize it was you in the previous page!

Edit, found another bug: screen doesn't go on when sms is received (it was fixed in v2 if i remember right) , sms app also crash when opening notifications settings, so it's impossible to remove the displayed message window on homescreen.

No, he has been passed by me I'm not this user. I'm sorry I didn't see that message, yes I used things of hls, I don't know what pretends this user... Edited September 11, 2014 by laek.17

the previous version has more stars on needrom.com. I am still on stock rom and cant decide between Baidu and Leaks kitkat.

[Guest dakok]

@mouratti

It is the first stock release 015

There were at least seven after that one.

32GB is more than enough for me

 

About the battery, I don't know. There isn't much info to find about this phone. I do like the 1080p screen and the SoC. But I have no idea how it behaves with battery life and possible updates in future.

 

The Jiayu forum here seems to be empty? http://www.modaco.com/forum/709-jiayu/

On XDA there also isn't much info about this phone what makes me skeptical 

[Guest Mouratti]

Where do you see this info?

 

How can i know the version?! IS very smooth it is.

 

Edit: Sorry i didnt see that was not for me :)

Any rom better then this?

[Guest dakok]

@MrMarkos

Buy the Coolpad and join us here.

You won't regret it. :)

[Guest Mouratti]

Where i can see the stock roms. This rom will update by ota?

[Guest dakok]

No point in having a chinese stock rom that

can do OTA update.

You'll have to keep China apps and probably

loose root and gapps then.

Edited September 11, 2014 by dakok

[Guest Mouratti]

I test system update and no rom to download!

How to know if its fake or not?

Wich stable and smooth rom do you recomend?

Edited September 11, 2014 by Mouratti

[Guest xeros2]

Mouratti, these questions and answers come almost on every page since last few pages.

On first page (first two posts by dakok) you'll have all the information that you need.

[Guest martinoff]

[Guest slime00]

Im trying to make a ROM from backup of himax polymer of yusuv and it don't have priv-app folder, could you make a new backup ? Thank you very much

yes yuusuv, the backup unfortunately is corrupted can you make another one, so we can start modding your rom? :) 

If you are interested, I managed to open and extract the content of the cpb file of this rom (the polymer, 900 mb (500 compressed) ), but it seems unflashable from the soda tool... after the polymer boot screen, it goes into a factory mode with a blue square on the left, no way to go further... i also tried another cbp for 8297w, it's the same thing, so i assume those are not for flashing with that tool... it also gives an error when trying to restore with ygdp, it seems it lacks something despite their huge size!

if you want to try, open ygdp tools, select go into settings - select 8297w-s10 and load the cbp of polimer, then click apply and wait... when it finishes, you will find all the folder inside the root of the program, inside the folder downfiles!
