Post #1 now also updated with a full video review and camera samples!

Looks nice, Im waiting for my copy of this phone will be fun to try it out.

I got one pretty good realization of the phone, but metal frame is not around a phone but only the sides. And Battery has 2800 mAh not 2100mAh but it's good. Will see how it gonna perform

Yeah, it writes 2800 mAh, but many people say its fake and in fact just a 2100 mAh.

After using the phone for about 3-4 months the speaker died the small one for calling. I can only speak on big speaker or headphones can someone tell me please what kind of speaker inside so I can change it. Is there a speaker from another phone that's fits to the Wico. Thanks for help people.
Have a nice day.

Thanks a lot.But I can't find the parts only phones and case and battery for this phone I looked on aliexpress and alibaba. Can you help me? I do my research on phone so it's little bit harder then on PC

Phone is very good, but I'm going to buy Elephone P8000.

Speaker
Speaker from Sony Ericson is good to replace in Wico.

IOCEAN M6752 "ROCK" 4G/LTE 64bit MT6752 Octa Core, 3GB RAM, Full HD

Hi out there, The IOCEAN M6752 is using the 64bit MT6752 Octa Core chipset. It has some really good specs, like 3GB RAM and support for LTE/4G. What are your thoughts about this? Below here you can see some pictures & videos of the phone and the specs.
It is a close competitor to for example the ZOPO ZP920 or Jiayu S3 which are running with very similar specs. But the IOCEAN is cheaper than these.

Very quick, just go to phone Settings > Security > Superuser (enable this) and you have ROOT enabled
There is also now a new update, if you check under Wireless Update in About.
But after the update the "Variety Unlock" has disappeared. So the custom unlock screens are not available anymore. I hope IOCEAN fix this with the next update, as I am missing the waterdrop unlockscreen now.

Hi s7yler.
did you manage a geekbench battery test for this phone or at least can you tell us about battery life ?
seem camera is not so bad though.
what about GPS sensitivity when driving ?
if you had choice, did you prefer this one over Ulefone Be touch or umi eMax ?
best regards

Question
Hello s7yler! Thanks you very much for deep review of Blackwiew Alife P1 Pro! :good:
How did you enter to the engineer mode on this phone to see names of camera modules?
Which special code did you use?

Can this thing be rooted and run xposed?

For engineer mode, paste:
*#*#3646633#*#*
into the dialer.
Any tip on how to tweak it?

Blackview forum & OTA
Sorry I can answer the last question but just wanted to contribute that I understand Blackview have recently opened the sourcecode for this phone and have a forum also on their website for questions..seems like a new OTA update is being prepared.

Another (written) review online here: Blackview Alife P1 Pro review

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1ItEpI2ezwJaXo2eUpQWW5BNTg/view
source code for the kernel can be found there.

FYI I just ordered one for fun and to port CM 12.1 and 13 onto it

Update: The CPU clocks at 1.0 GHz in reality. Blackview tried to screw us over there
See: https://github.com/visi0nary/androi...087#diff-9cb8d0039fb739eef0bd6253de2acdd9L464

Actually if you watch my video in post #1 and go to time 20:45
You see that it says Possible CPU types: 988Mhz
Declared cpu type 1300Mhz
So I'm not surprised

Aight, CM 12.1 runs Everything works except fingerprint. Once I got that implemented, I will release the build

Homtom will release Homtom HT7 Pro smartphone to the cheapest 4G pro one at $89.99

I have read the latest tech news about Homtom smartphone, it will release Homtom HT7 Pro smartphone at $89.99 which is likely to the cheapest 4G mobile. When we see this kind of price, it will be much attractive for the latest 4G smartphone.
What’s more, it comes with MTK6735 SOC chipset , will have 5.5inch HD IPS screen with 1280*720p screen resolution, the other outstanding feature is that it has 3000mAh battery and it has metal design. I guess in view of this kind specs, the overall performance will be the most attractive thing of course including the metal design and the tempting price.
Therefore, what do you think of it? Which smartphone will it kill according to the Chinese smartphones mtk6735 4G now?

HOMTOM HT7 Pro specs: Mod Edit by @Darth - Link to site promoting sales removed. No more please.

Hi,
Is there any possibilities to root the device or recovery like cwm or twrp? Thanks...

Isn't HOMTOM a spinoff of another company? Can't remember which though.

I am not sure if it belongs to Doogee.

I think HT7 Pro will be a best buy...I've bought HT7 "standard" and I'm happy but 1 GB of RAM is very little

Really good specs for the money. Has anybody have had any expirience with this brand?

Yes! I believe you're correct.

very nice
89$ in Geek ?
very good price .

I bought this phone for 70$. Are there any other users of this phone on XDA?
I hope that there will be option to root this phone.
EDIT: I founf HT7 Pro thread ona XDA:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/general/homtom-ht7-pro-t3354975

Well I bought the HT7 Pro.
At first it seemed to work well although the battery life was quite limited and just a little web browsing would quickly reduce battery charge to less than 50%.
I hate to think of the battery life if I did much calling.
But DISASTER! after just 10 days the phone has locked up with a reboot menu and the cursor flicking across all three possibilities. It does not respond to any keys.
I have tried a hard reset, power + Volume up buttons but it does not reset at all. So the phone is now useless!

yeah, you are right, but it confirms it doesn't have fingerprint scanner.

I know the fingerprint scanners are pretty big these days, but to be honest, I dont really need 1. I think that more goes into the functioning of the phone itself. But I for 1 would love to know how this stacks up in operability.

Works in America?
Carrier bands are just for Asian countries? Wondering if they work with 3G and Lte network from America.

This work in europe but not in America, sorry

I got mine yesterday. The MEIZU m3s 5 inch Fingerprint 3GB RAM 32GB ROM MT6750 Octa-core 4G and the standard Flyme ROM sucks sooooooo hard. Cant wait for a good build.. Too many settings are not there. There is an international build of this Flyme-thing. So dont worry about Chinese.

Meizu m3s have a lot of problems in connection with mTouch button factory defect. In all Meizu M3s smartphones (after 1-6 months). Don't recommend to buy
