Guest KennyPowers2000 Posted October 14, 2014 Report Posted October 14, 2014 (edited) Just got my 8297W through the post from merimobiles, no customs charges! Took just over 2 weeks to get here (UK). Luckily I chose Singapore Post as there was a Chinese National Day week, which would have affected China Post. All came to £110, as I chose a silicone case and screen protector fitted (I always get bubbles when I do it myself) I haven't use my sim cutter yet, as I want to put a more 'english' rom on it. What is the best rom with least/no chinese on it? Can you get cyanogenmod or AOSP for it? Also, what is the best way to install CWM these days (I'm on a Linux machine at the moment) It has the rom with the sailing boat on it at the moment, the about phone menu says android 4.2.2, custom build version 136, if that means anything! Thanks, KP :D Edited October 14, 2014 by KennyPowers2000
Guest Arpione Posted October 14, 2014 Report Posted October 14, 2014 In short, we found out that pure v2 shows 0% at 3.6v and Micromax at 3.4v. Which would explain the increased battery duration since 1 hour screen on time seems to consume roughly 100mV. But we are not sure if it's ok for the battery to be discharged to 3.4v. We don't know what the real 0% for the F1 is. Some phones have a cut off at 3.2v and some even lower or higher. I can think of a way, but I doubt anyone would want to do it. When the phone turns off (from android) we turn it on again but enter recovery. Since recovery doesn't have a cut off, the phone will shut down when the battery is truly dead. So we take it out and measure the volts it has with a polymeter. Anyone brave enough? :) The circuitry in the battery isolates the cell when the voltage drops below the cutoff voltage to prevent further discharge, which means you probably won't be able to measure anything and it can only be revived by connecting a power source directly to it as dakok mentioned. It's not good for the battery if you squeeze every bit of juice out of it anyway.
Guest dakok Posted October 14, 2014 Report Posted October 14, 2014 If someone wants to play with it or use it for modding, here's the first AOSP release (probably older than Jonzalvo's) for Coolpad F1
Guest rista1 Posted October 14, 2014 Report Posted October 14, 2014 Coolpad8297W_4.4_MMX_Micromax_10.13_htfy.zip This version , which is?

Thanks, KP :D on first page you find some useful infos, Jonzalvo's 2.0 is an AOSP and performance-wise is the best rom right now. Arpione made some patches to improve some things about this rom, you find them here in the F1 forum! what about the last Coolpad's 010? Did someone find some improvements on 3d and sd and/or other things? Edited October 14, 2014 by slime00
Guest dakok Posted October 14, 2014 Report Posted October 14, 2014 (edited) Coolpad8297W_4.4_MMX_Micromax_10.13_htfy.zip This version , which is? That is the one mentioned yesterday in this topic. Chinese CWM v6.0.5.1 and windows CWM & Stock recovery installer Download - CWM img only You'll have to register for installer :) I guess installer can be easily converted and translated and used with the known 6.0.5.0 english version It is an installer that pushes a recovery (selectable: stock or custom) to the phone from windows *.bat file can be translated (comments in Chinese) P.S. It seems that this CWM supports sliding and touch :) Edited October 14, 2014 by dakok

Guest dakok Posted October 14, 2014 Report Posted October 14, 2014 Thanks! I think that it means it is the first port from Mlais phone (America Lai Shi)
Guest slime00 Posted October 14, 2014 Report Posted October 14, 2014 (edited) yep! don't know if the USB thing is referred to usb storage mode now working or as mtp fixed as default mode with debug enabled... the first able to try, please let us know your impressions! I can't test it until tomorrow! Edited October 14, 2014 by slime00
Guest KennyPowers2000 Posted October 14, 2014 Report Posted October 14, 2014 I can't seem to get vroot to root the phone properly. I've put the usb into developer usb debugging mode, then run vroot and connected the phone. Vroot detects it, but when I press the green button, it tries then comes up with a message in Chinese! Any ideas?
Guest dakok Posted October 14, 2014 Report Posted October 14, 2014 (edited) You should get a message about root on your phone then. It shows behind some ad screen (as I can remember)... Any feedback on ATX Micromax AOSP release from yesterday? Edited October 14, 2014 by dakok
Guest slime00 Posted October 14, 2014 Report Posted October 14, 2014 (edited) Any feedback on ATX Micromax AOSP release from yesterday? It seems it has all the known issues of the stock one, hope they continue developing it! Edited October 14, 2014 by slime00

Any feedback on ATX Micromax AOSP release from yesterday? Seems that data doesn't work with it, or at least with me. Needs gapps and the wipe of Chinese apps tho.
Guest KennyPowers2000 Posted October 14, 2014 Report Posted October 14, 2014 Never mind, managed to root phone using RootGenius
Guest jakethedooggg Posted October 14, 2014 Report Posted October 14, 2014 It seems it has all the known issues of the stock one, hope they continue developing it! Did the data work for you? That ROM seemed nice!
Guest KennyPowers2000 Posted October 14, 2014 Report Posted October 14, 2014 Had to do things the awkward way! Rooted via RootGenius, and CWM via the flashrecovery.apk, as MobileUncle wouldn't do it! Anyway, managed to install Jonzalvo's 2.0 AOSP rom. It asked or a launcher, giving 2 options, I chose Nova, but is the other one better? Jus got to pluck the courage to put my sim in the cheap sim cutter I got off ebay now, wish me luck... :unsure:

AOSP: http://www.needrom.com/download/coolpad-f1-8297w-aosp/ "Pure" AOSP: http://www.needrom.com/download/coolpad-f1-8297w-pure-aosp/ (Don't ask me what the difference between AOSP and "Pure" AOSP is though,,,,). Note that I think that the poll refers to the "pure" version and Arpione's mods definitely do. Edited October 16, 2014 by dalyer
Guest dakok Posted October 14, 2014 Report Posted October 14, 2014 (edited) Anyone interested in latest CoolUI 4.2.2 repack (cleaned, EN UI + Gapps)? :) Had to do things the awkward way!

Find SuperSU (latest release) for flashing (in zip format) and flash it thru CWM Edited October 14, 2014 by dakok
Guest KennyPowers2000 Posted October 14, 2014 Report Posted October 14, 2014 (edited) Didn't RootGenius give me full root? It put that Kinguser app on the phone. I did see the rom with 'Pure' in the title on his NeedROM page, might give that a try I suppose... Edit: am I supposed to apply those patches at the same time I flash the 'Pure' rom? Edited October 14, 2014 by KennyPowers2000
Guest jakethedooggg Posted October 14, 2014 Report Posted October 14, 2014 I'm downloading 4.4.3 AOSP from "Color Crayon" it's so light, only 319mb I hope it works well until Laek V5 or something better... As Micromax AOSP have that data bug.

As Micromax AOSP have that data bug. cool,make a review please! Micromax doesn't have a data bug,it just doesn't have your provider's apn settings pre-installed.You have to enter apns manually,i'm using it this way some days now and it works without problems

At the moment I couldn't flash the 4.4.3 ROM cause TWRP gave me an error, first error mounting /data, and then after recovery restart, an error that it couldn't open /data/media idk maybe I need to format data. Any help? D: PD: I had the same problem when restoring the backup, at least it worked... :( Edited October 14, 2014 by jakethedooggg
Guest Arpione Posted October 14, 2014 Report Posted October 14, 2014 (edited) Edit: am I supposed to apply those patches at the same time I flash the 'Pure' rom? You can install them anytime you want, inlcuding install time, just make sure you pick the rom first. jakethedooggg: I had a similar problem with restoring in TWRP 2.7, I installed a stock rom with YGDP and I couldn't restore my backup until I booted the stock rom at least once. Edited October 14, 2014 by Arpione
Guest jakethedooggg Posted October 14, 2014 Report Posted October 14, 2014 @Arpione well I had 2.7 but after wiping with it to install Micromax AOSP, the recovery button changed (???) and now I need to use vol+ also after that I flashed 2.4.4 and then I couldn't recover the backup with 2.7 what a party. I had to restore an old backup to flash 2.7 again. Now I'm using 2.4.4
