You will be very surprised by this cheap tablet. I couldn't believe how good it works for the price.
I stopped using my Samsung Galaxy Tab 8" 4 because it feels much slower than the Chinese tablet.

Hello, can anyone upload latest OTA update G708 Oc_SV1.02_KV1.0_20150122 rar file wich is 76 - 79 mb.
Thanks in advance

Hi, check your message please.

Thanks for the Kingo tip, worked fine here using the app from what looks like the official site : http://www.kingoapp.com/android-root.htm
One thing I'm struggling with is using the External SD Card. I've selected it as the "Default Write Disk" in /settings/storage but that doesn't seem to do anything, i.e. app are not using it to save data there. Am I missing something obvious ?

I now have a rooted colorfly g708. Kingo app works! For those who are desperately googling and not finding answers haha.

Yes, i have same problem with SD card . One of the Problem is the Kit Kat permission with SD cards (just Google it ) The guys from 4PDA forum working on solution. We need recovery and then replace internal/external cards.
---------- Post added at 05:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:33 AM ----------
The other problem we have so far is the OTA Update.
If you have EN ROM : G708 Oc_SV1.00_KV1.0_20150121_EN There is NO OTA Update.
But people who has ROM without EN in the end , They Got OTA Update to version G708 Oc_SV1.2_KV1.0_20150122 This OTA Update package is 74mb. and can be update from tablet. If some who download latest OTA Update package please share it.
Also i am looking forward to MIUI6 5.1.13 ROM for our tablet

Yes Memory/SD Card Management is a mess in Kit Kat but there's an additional bug on the G708 I believe because on my Moto G/4G I can choose the SD Card as a path for apps that use maps for instance. Hope some bright brains can figure that out in the future!
Any good enhancements to do once you're rooted? Like removing the useless screen capture "soft" button maybe? So far I've only used it for ClockSync for the NTP synching of the clock.

I contact with Colorfly support about OTA Update for EN Roms. I hope that they will assist us.
About the screenshot button, i read that cannot be remove, but will see.
For me The Best option for our tablet is MIUI6 ROM. So far I can't find upload of that MIUI ROM in any English site. May be i will make reg. Here to download the ROM http://bbs.colorful.cn/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=6488

Hopefully you will hear back from them quickly.
I used the "market helper" app to get access to all the "market" apps but I'm getting a "Missing shared library" error on quite a few apps. Some googling seems to indicate it might be Google Maps related but Maps is definitely available on the G708 so I'm not sure why. Anyone know if there is a workaround? Thanks!

I got a answer from Colorfly support.
They told me that so far, there is No Official sale in Europe, thats why there is No OTA Update for _EN ROM !
Also they Give me Download Tools MTK and Image: G708 Oc_SV1.02_KV1.0_20150122
Here is Download links : http://download.colorful.cn/shuma/Tools/MTK.rar
http://download.colorful.cn/shuma/G708%20%E5%85%AB%E6%A0%B8/G708%20Oc_SV1.02_KV1.0_20150122.rar
I instal Custom Recovery TWRP with Rashr - Flash Tool , also if you want to change your SD card to internal one use this image https://cloud.mail.ru/public/2c7a2f8b61bf/boot-new.img and flash your Kernel from Storage option in Rashr ( google Play Store )
Finally we got Two Roms from our China Friends: [ G708 Oc ] MIUI6_5.1.13. ( beta ) and [ G708 Oc ] YunOS_3.0.2
Download [ G708 Oc ] MIUI6_5.1.13. ( beta ) https://cloud.mail.ru/public/319702f55443/miui_g708_5.1.13_4.4.zip

Dont Forget to make Full Back up of your Tablet, before start to make experiments or flash. You are making everything on your own. I am Not responsible if any damage is done to your device

Hadn't seen your updated post, thanks for sharing! I'd be interested in switching "internal storage" with the SD Card at some point, this doesn't reset the device completely does it? Will download Rashr, can a full backup be done with it?
Any idea how we can fix the "missing shared library" problem and install apps like Garmin Connect or GPStrackerSMS? I think all the problematic apps rely on some Google Maps libraries...

hi,
thanks for this post and these shared !
i will try this rom.
if not, do you know if it is possible to extend the system partition ? 1 go i very small and with many apps installed, i have got only 53 mo on free. Maybe it is possible to regorup partition systeme and data on a 8gb partition ?
many thanks

1. With Rashr you install Custom Recovery ( TWRP ) and in the menu of recovery you make Full Backup.
2. No, Sorry

[Q] Any way to undelete?

hi i had pictures on my phone that i realy wanted to keep, an like an idiot i delted them from google plus album thinking it would just delete from instant upload album, but it deleted them from my phone. so does anyone know of a way to undelete, any software?
Same happened to me. You can try programs restoring files but you have to connect the phone to the computer and take it from there. PS none worked for me. I hope you have a better chance.

It's too laggy... for now.. but very promising ROM, looking forward to it. If u need any help for the new builds just pm me.
Hi. I like the miui, it's beautiful but we can do something for ram memory because i have 120mb after 10 minutes. We can use a swap partition or a tweak for this ram? When i use nexushd2 cm 10 i have 200mb all time. I would like the miui version

Guys, I released it only after using for a week nearly. It works fabulously well after that step 5 of increasing space. What is the speed of your SD card? Mine is class 10 and it's responding superfast. If you follow that step of increasing space, you will get lots of space and won't have to worry about the memory issue really. It works like a charm!
EuSufferMe, thanks for offering help. Yes, let's work on the new build later on.

[Updated English Version]Working dual-boot aroma installer

[2015/02/15] The author released 1.3 update with English language support on weibo. Post on miui forum did not updated yet but maybe you need instructions there to try it.
Original post: http://www.miui.com/thread-2248022-1-1.html (including a video)
The dev's weibo: http://www.weibo.com/u/1048297887
It's an very early version so the install procedure looks a little bit complex, and the data is not shared between two systems. But I tried it half an hour ago and it really works, so I'm a mokee +miui 6 user now.
Unfortunately it's all in Chinese so most of you guys are unable to use it right now, but at least it proved dual boot is technically possible. So you should hope a dev who does not speak only Chinese is interest in dual boot and working on it.

Okay I talked him he is ready to convert his firmware Chinese to English but needs some time. Its really helps to world wide users if he translate it.

It is simple first have to brush(flash) hm1s sysrec.zip and then hm1s sysmenu.zip ...which is a kind of aroma installer ...there comes a bit confusion ..so follow this pattern: press blue highlighted button and tick chech box, press 1st opt , again 1st opt, again 1st opt until it shows a blue highlited button ..press it ..then recovery gets rebooted ..indicating dual system partitions made...now flash mk+miui.zip...ur done! Now switch btwn os using system changer app..
Caution:using dual system wipes ur internal memory!!!
multirom is ported to moto e, wish we have also this goodness , love to have miui and cm in multirom format.

Hi.
First of all I want to thank everyone for their effort.
I just installed Android Kitkat 4.4 on my Samsung Wave 2 phone from this thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2800014 , and I was wondering if it is possible to get a couple of apps installed or even Google Play itself since it's missing from the OS or I don't know how to enable it?

Just install google apps, it makes phone laggy but add playstore.
All infos are in OP.
Other method is to install apk manually with adb or a file explorer.

Has anyone installed this using twrp?
If so what was your procedure? Is it a straight forward flash?
Also has the ROM got Google apps included?
Thanks in advance.

Hello. This is the old 5.0.2 BGXNAOP5501103071S without malwares ( according Letv ).
To install this old rom -( the CM 12.1 V.3 is better in my opinion ) - with out fault, you must change the updater script. How? without unzip the update.zip file though winrar or 7zip go on
ROM.zip\META-INF\com\google\android\ updater script (inside the update zip file)
open it with notepad++ and change- delete the all first line from:
getprop("ro.product.device") == "msm8994" || getprop("ro.product.device") == "x1_na" || abort("This package is for "x1_na" devices; this is a "" + getprop("ro.product.device") + "".");
to this : package_extract_file("splash.img", "/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/splash"); package_extract_file("bootvideo.img", "/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/bootvideo");
than saved as: 'All types (*.*) and drop it again back to ROM.zip\META-INF\com\google\android\ updater script and replace it.
Done. Save the update.zip with winrar or 7zip and flash it through TWRP. Don't forget to take a full backup first.

Thanks man, I appreciate the reply. I'm thinking I might just go with Cm 12.1 at this stage. If I'm flashing anyway I might as well.
I've read there are issues with sim slot 2 so I might need a nano sim first.
Yes, better not to bother with the official one, because it is useless.
However, maybe there still is hope for us, according to user @willngg.

1) download file update.zip as is into the root directory of the phone storage (root directory means not in any folders)
2) power off phone
3) hold power and volume+up button at the same time to boot into recovery
4) select update
5) the update should take about a minute and the phone will reboot, and you're done.
After the update, you'll find your downloaded apps, photos, contacts, wi-fi, blue tooth and other settings untouched. However, the malware like "Ant Keyboard" and "Search Service" will be gone. In fact my licensed Kaspersky reports no threats. All the Google apps are still there. Now, the Youtube app can be updated. OTA updates are also now possible from an app icon and in settings. Everything seems to work fine except for Color Mode (which is no big deal). So, I don't know what 'bugs' people are talking about. I would be more worried about installing a third party rom that someone has tinkered with.

It should be the original official LeEco rom for the Le 1 Pro. The link to it came from LeEco technical support on Le forum/US. Also, I believe only the official roms can be installed in the way I described above. All third party roms require TWRP and root.
That ROM have updates?

I also had some mallware in the US rom, virusscanner didn't like it ....
Just flashed official us version this morning. And it works great, and the mallware apps are gone.
Normaly I would go voor cm12 but cant find a 100% solid tut to flash it to my phone, so till that time I will keep running this official update without the mallware.

Not having any malware, it was put in by the people who shipped the phones outside China (shops). This clean rom was provided to help out the people who bought a 1 pro outside China.
