Development
Treble Supported but A-System partition only
Phh 8.1 GSI is fully functional minus the camera you will also need to set a custom width to make the screen not super tiny or use my edited one below.
Phh 9.0 GSI works but with a few bugs primarily Bluetooth and camera. But also it has a wonky navbar and notification pulldown but those 2 are aosp bugs
I have edited the v25 phh 8.1 gsi and added ro.sf.lcd_density=320 to the build.prop which makes it so the screen isn't super zoomed in. I will work on doing something similar to vendor in the future so its persistent over all gsi's.
Here is the download
Twrp:
I have gotten twrp working on this device, currently, decryption is not supported due to the limited space on the recovery partition. But the keyboard and stylus do work in recovery.

Thanks for doing this, hope to see how other ROMs function. Can you also test a Pie GSI?

Thanks for this, I'm considering getting this tablet. Could you possibly do a video review? There hasn't been a good one in YouTube yet.

I'm going to assume that you are the only one doing any development with this tablet? Which is fine either way, it just let's me know once I get my tablet, how long the wait will be or expect for custom ROMs. Thanks again.

I don't plan on doing a review or anything i got it to do development on it. GSI's are working on it, i am planning on getting a device specific rom up and running soon. Working with the hi9 air and hi9 pro devs to see if we can make something that is compatible on all 3.

Thanks for the update. Can't wait to see all what you come up with!!

I asked them directly about buying the keyboard case separately.
It's not listed on their official Aliexpress store so you have to buy 35 units of "Extra Shipping"
https://www.aliexpress.com/store/pr...l?spm=2114.12010615.8148356.55.63bb4c05f2hzru
And tell them you want a keyboard case.
Oh and thanks for TWRP.

Anyone that hasn't flashed anything yet, can you tell me the current security patch level?
I could swear that I saw June, but after flashing the rom provided by Chuwi it's at February.
Also it seems far more sluggish than it was before flashing.

Yeah the firmware they provided is older, the one shipped on the device was june i have asked for updated firmware and was told they are working on it.

Oh good I'm not crazy.
I don't suppose you have a backup of the current one?

No sadly, i am in the same boat i assumed the firmware would match what was shipped so i didn't grab one.

Let's hope someone else out there reads this before they flash.
Or Chuwi releases whatever is current.

NA

GSI is apparently doing some amazing work and possibly working around the clock. It's crazy to see that there is a partially working 9.0 rom( or lastest Android version) so soon after device release!

For anyone interested, I found the keyboard for 17 dollars, however the pen still like 27 dollars no matter where you go.

The problem about the pen is that you can use the tablet for 2-3 years maybe, nut if you lost the pen is very pobrable that you won't find it online after just 6 month, if it is not a chuwi standard (and as far as I can see it's NOT a standard).
BTW I have problems checking out the keyboard site, are you sure it's a sure online shop?
Thank you!

I just try and everyting was ok, but $9 shipping fees are pretty high. Grandtotal is ok anyhow due to the very discounted price. This is another addon that you might buy as soon as you can since it's already hard to find.
The rablet is sold at nice price by [email protected] and you can buy the pen as addon for €17 (maybe $20, but you save A LOT on shipping fees!!!)

Mi Band: Xiaomi's fitness smart wristband

I'm not sure whether the right forum to post this thread.
Does anybody know about the new wristband that Xiaomi launched yesterday?

}
You won't see any screen on it, even no LED screen to show the time.
But it doesn't mean Mi Band is bland or worthless. I think it's quite powerful.:good:
- Unlock your phone via bluetooth without passcode (using BLE)
- Fitness monitor: track various health metrics and sync with your phone
- Sleep tracker and smart alarm: vibrate to wake you up during light sleep
- Notification: vibrate and flicker when you receive a new SMS or call
- Waterproof with the rating of IP67: you can wear it when showering
- 30 days standby when full charged
And the most awesome thing is, it's very cheap: only $13! It must be one of the cheapest smart band on the market.
But there are some cons:
No screen. However this makes the battery life longer.
It's only compatible with Mi 3 or Mi 4 with Android 4.4 based MIUI (It's the worst thing! )
Any ideas about Mi Band? Will you buy one if you had a Mi 3 or Mi 4?
Useful additions for Mi Band
Unlock and call reminder features are only for Xiaomi phones, is that right?
And how about whole wristband, does it work work on "normal" Android phone? My common sense telling me that it should - there is no restriction, it is just a bluetooth transmission. But maybe I'm wrong?
This looks brilliant. I was actually researching BLE technology and considering making something like this to unlock my phone. Seems I don't have to, at least if Xiaomi makes it support other devices.

I think it should work on other Android phones, but it couldn't, Even the older Xiaomi phone's like Mi 2S is not compatible.
Xiaomi is too "closed" now. Xiaomi will lose many potential customers if they keep doing that.

Yeah...I hope the next generation (Mi Band 2?) can support more devices.
Xiaomi is following Sammy's footstep, trying to get new customers by releasing phone specific gadgets. The only difference with Gear - that one got rooted, but with something as simple as smartband - most likely it will be locked to their phone. The same as they announced before about release of MI pressy-clones. Also, you have to realize that $13 is heavily subsidized price, they are giving it away at the cost or maybe below the cost, just so they can get new MI customers. Similar to what Amazon does with their tablets (hoping to get more Amazon shopping customers) or Google did with Nexus 7 (trying to jump start Android tablet business to take away share from iOS).

I heard a rumor that the cost of Mi Band is only CN¥ 49 (about $8.5)
i think in europe it will cost triple
where have people pre-ordered this from?
It starting to show up on websites that sell xiaomi and even aliexpress (although the price is higher than announced, but still a good deal considering).
Im just wondering, this does work with other android phones or just with xiaomi? Anyone knows yet? Its still new, so there probably isn't much info on that yet

It is supposed to work only with mi3 and 4 but I guess it shouldn't be difficult to make it work with any Android gadget as it works with bluetooth

HTCMania discussed in that it can be used with any Android, a user has been tested with a Nexus5 ... I have installed the apk without problems, but this in Chino, hopefully soon be translated into Spanish or English.
They have the apk file, but being new I can not put link.
Good to know!
We will probably start seeing more development on these as they start to get to more people.
But the function that it was to unlock/remove pin or pattern when you grab the phone/close to the hand with the bracelet probably won't work, right? Unless someone comes out with an android mod that will allow that.
Still, as a fitness tracker you can't beat the price
When in stock?
Hi!
This is the official link of the MiBand app -> http://m.app.mi.com/#page=detail&id=68548
And here is the apk modified by myself, I only changed a word so now the app will show you in english (if not, it will show in chinese by default). There are only a few sentences in english but Im going to try to translate more.

I ordered 2 of them. i seriously hope someone will make an android version of the app
Is it possible tho ? I can't read the content of htcmania but apparently peeps talk about it.
Still got time to figure it out !

Elephone G7, 5.5" IPS HD, MTK6592M Octa Core, Metalframe design

Hi I just got my hands on the Elephone G7 in white/silver from Geekbuying which is quite beautiful. The specs are not the highest (good for the price) but the design is very nice. It comes with the MTK6592M Octa-core clocked at 1.4GHz, 5.5 inch IPS HD and 1GB RAM + 8GB ROM which should be enough for most daily tasks.
First impressions
My first impressions are "wow, very nice device", good slim design and solid quality. The white/silver version reminds a little bit of an iPhone, but of course with completely different design. The frame is made of real metal, and feels cold in the beginning, but gives it a premium feel in the hand.
The display is very big, pretty thin bezels, good sharp picture with vivid colours. But because it is 5.5 inch, is may not be for everyone's taste. But for users who like a big screen it is super. What do you think about it?

Update, here also now some camera samples / tests I have made:

The flash does work better on the G7 than on for example the P3000S.
And it scores about: 28.500 in Antutu v.5.6 - an okay score for the MT6592M I would say.
Battery life
How is the battery life ?

I can only give you a Geekbench 3 battery test
http://browser.primatelabs.com/battery3/15580
We must remember that this phone is really thin also, so not the biggest battery, but it is fine for one whole day.
I put my phone to the charger every night when I go to bed, so it's no problem.
I've put in an order for the black version of this phone after seeing your video. I don't play games on my phones so the specs should be fine for me. Are these phones really limited to 32GB micro sd cards? What happens if you stick a 64GB card in there?

I have just tested a Sandisk microSDXC UHS-I 64GB card, it works in the phone. The phone will the first time just ask you to format it. After that it will be formated to FAT32, and it will be found by the phone with the full space.

3D games actually run fine on a 6592M Octa core even with 1GB. So not really a problem.
The phone arrived today. It's the biggest phone I've ever owned but it's so damn thin and light! Only negative thing is a bit of light bleed noticable on the bottom when using black wallpaper but it's not a showstopper.
Thank you for opening the thread.I have now received my G7 and there are many differences with my Nexus 5.But I'm happy overall.
I'll wait a few days to root.

Phone problem
Hi!
According to the topic. if you can, please help me with this phone.... It arrived yesterday, and I cannot use it:
My problem is the next: I put my micro sim card into the phone. The phone recognize my sim card, ask for my pin code. After the successfully pin code, i am able to reach the normal android menu. But when I try to make a phone call, NOTHING happens. The calling screen is on, I can give the numbers for calling. After I initiate the call, nothing happens, just only the phone thinking, but it cannot make any calls. I realised, that the phone recognize the sim card (I see it on the sim menu), but the phone cannot join my provider's (Vodafone) network. After 1 minute, I see the 3G or G sign on the top of the phone, but when I try to make a call, nothing happens again. Very frustrating. Inside the phone menu, there is an option, that you can choose the network provider manually or automatically. I tried both two version, all the time the phone said: unable to join network. I think this can be a hardware problem. Or can it be software? I had a lot phone before, and i have never ever met such a problem. There is not any scratch or injury on the phone, it is definetively brand new. I tried with other sim cards, but the same result happened. I tried both sim slot (micro and normal slot as well), but the same problem occur. Is is possible, thet this is a software problem?

That depends on the provider, in USA the providers don't all use the same network bands. That vary from provider to provider making it very hard to answer that question. The THL 2015 supports 2100/1800/2600/800 MHz on 4G/LTE. Better ask your provider if they support these bands or not.
Good, I am buyer of a phone, it thl 2015 or this jiayu s3, ...
can tell me how is this phone .. it has can put some thoughts on it, bugs ... costum roms, ... and lollipop, update .... thanks
Interesting.
I'm going to be in Europe for part of this summer and while I was leaning towards the Elephone P7000, I was concerned that it would not be available in time. I have settled with this phone, and it should be in my possession shortly. I'm somewhat disappointed it ships with Android 4.4, but I'm hopeful it will receive Lollipop soon.
Does anyone know how heavily skinned this phone is? I'm wondering how close we are to AOSP.
Got one this morning after pre-release ordering at coolicool, with DHL +£15 tax to the UK, seems good so far, expect they'll give us 5.1 from 4.4.4 soon, noticed quite a lot of their stuff here http://www.needrom.com/category/thl/thl-2015 think I'll use Nova launcher for now, just under 41,000 in Antutu, keep us posted if they can be rooted if it's later required.

It can be rooted by VRoot_1.8.2.13135.
I already done that at the weekend.
I tried to create custom recovery by autocreate TWRP with no success.
Gravity box also not compatible with the latest xposed framework yet
Is this any use? http://playfuldroid.com/how-to-root-thl-2015-in-less-than-an-hour
Would there be any version of CyanogenMod available to us if it does start working rooted?

Just root it with iRoot in 20 seconds, after that replace the chinese SuperSU with the normal SuperSU from the Play Store.
See in this video here how to root KitKat, from time 4:44 in the video (must be seen on a PC, not mobile device)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1WGNan1p88
There will only be CyanogenMod if someone makes it for the phone, so far I haven't heard or seen any working on a port for the phone.
Put Bounty On Device?
Does anyone know of any websites that I can use to place a "bounty" on a device? I'd like a 5.0 ROM, and I'd be willing to put money into a pot that is awarded to the first person to complete this task. Does XDA support this?
wifi

Thl2015 can "ac" wi-fi?
What is the exact size of the phone?

Thanks for the info. Not good news.
Guys, do you also have a very low picture + camera quality? Any advice if I can change that?
Could someone check for me if the display is amoled? Please turn on black background on some lcd test app and check inside dark room if the display give some light or is completly dark.

Check post #1 I already show it in the full Review Video there, under LCD test/backbleeding test! The phone has no AMOLED. That is wrong info by some webshops.
Hi
thl2015 supports GLONASS? has gorilla glass 2 or 3?
Regards
Compass and Gyroscope
Hi guys, what about compass and gyroscope? Is Google Skymaps working properly. Thank you!
hello! whether on this phone to upgrade to Android 5.0?
No Android 5 update from the manufacturers yet, have had one OTA update from THL but not sure what it did. Does anyone know why some apps find this phone as rooted even without rooting it? I'm trying to get SkyGo to work (they are strict for DRM tv viewing) and also Trustable by Bluebox lists it as rooted out of the box - with some issues that THL should probably be working on too. Is there any way using it rooted to remove all the files that makes these apps think it is rooted then use the unroot option so aps like SkyGo would then work?
Also noticed Recovery TWRP over on needrom if this is any better than iRoot method?

I's so excited for the new Oneplus! Can't wait for the full specs!
Someone have "new" news of this?
Are they finally going to let people order without the invite system? Looking to replace my phone, but was never able to get the One or Two as I never got an invite.

oh, i am so sorry to hear that, it is said it will not need to invite in some stores. you can inquire others.
Right now i have read the news about Oneplus 3 possible specs from the Oneplus fans. According to the meeting with Oneplus fans in India, Pete Lau expressed that they will let the fans say what’s the ideal hardware it will be about Oneplus 3.
During the talk Pete offered the phone with either RAM 4GB and 128GB rom or 6GB RAM, 64GB rom,
Possible OP3 specifications;
Full HD AMOLED screen
Thinner phone size
HDMI connectivity
128 GB internal memory
A 16-megapixel camera
24-hour battery life on full charge
Curved screen like in Samsung Galaxy S6
Stereo speakers in front
Near field communication (NFC)
It’s said Oneplus 3 will be released in July. I hope most of specs are right, especially ROM 128GB. So what do you think of these specs? Will it come with these kind of specs?
they will be happy their fans?
i don't know... i think the specs will be change
seen the same specs appear here:
Mod Edit by @Darth : Selling site link removed. Spam not welcome here thanks! Last chance member.
so i guess it will probably be the final specs. sounds very good. hope the pricing will be low
It does look good though, clever marketing or not. Wait and see i GUESS

The invitation system is past.
After some test OnePlus 3 is a big surprise. Finally a high-end phone with a snapdragon and 6GB of RAM. No worries screen calibration.
Some site speaks yellow problem, but its failure would be a qualibrage. I greatly recommend this smartphone
A camera very powerful, despite the limited functionality available currently.
The fingerprint sensor is very responsive compared to competitor phone.
I've had word from oneplus that you need to have the dash charge charger for that feature to work, but they never said whether you need the dash charge cable or not (is it just a standard type-c cable?)
Anyone got any info yet?

Meiigoo S8 6.1'' 18:9 full display dual-sided 3D | 4+64GB | 13+5MP Dual | Android 7.1

The Meiigoo S8 has now been announced and along with that introduction comes confirmation of the full specs on offer with this smartphone. What is likely to be one of the main points to note is that this is a device that follows in the footsteps of a number of high profile 2017 smartphones by utilizing an 18:9 aspect ratio. The inclusion of this edge-to-edge design allows the Meiigoo S8 to make use of a smaller physical footprint compared to what would be encountered with a device adopting a more traditional bezel level. As a result, the Meiigoo S8 features a larger than usual 6.1-inch display, but within the body of a smartphone more often associated with a smaller display. A design aspect which not only looks to add a premium touch to this smartphone, but one which is also designed to offer a more comfortable holding experience.

}
The highlight features of the S8 are that it sports a 6.1-inch HD+ display with 18:9 aspect ratio which takes up 83% of the whole front panel and coated in dual-sided 3D curved glass. Spec wise, the S8 is equipped with a powerful MTK6750T octa-core processor clocked at 1.5GHz, 4GB RAM, 64GB of storage, expandable up to 256GB, dual rear cameras (13.0MP + 5.0MP combo), rear fingerprint scanner, 5.0MP front-facing shooter, USB TYPE-C, 3300mAh battery and Android 7.1 Nougat as the OS.
Stay Tuned for New updates and Review.
I'm not seing much Meiigoo on XDA and wonder if this phone will get rooted. It would be nice to have a "utility phone" to play with. Assume it will be pretty bare bones Nougat (but at least 7.1)
I doubt XDA will have any development, i just got the phone yesterday and an testing it out.
Can't compare it to other phones, since I don't have any, but mine is behaving surprisingly well. It's my secondary phone, so obviously it's not under a lot of stress, but I can honestly say I notice no bugs or problems some YouTubers are having. In fact I am quite happy with it. I only wish the camera was better, but for such a low price the phone is a steal. I'd love to see some cusom ROMs developed for it.
Who knows how to upgrade from Android 7.0 to Android 7.1? In menu: "settings -> about phone -> phone status -> Wireless update" it says that my device's software is up to date...
The photo of Meiigoo S8 in first post is not realistic. The display is not borderless. In attach the real one.

You can delete the systemapps with a Tool.
Even you can delete the launcher and use one of your choice.

How?
Download this tool …
https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=19002#downloads
it is for Huawei phones but works with all phones i tested even not Huawei.
Install it and turn USB Debugging on, on your phone.
Then go to modifications klick Show and then you can see all installed apps.
Delete the ones you do not Need. If you delete the launcher, you must install another one before, otherwise you Need to factory reset your phone.

The program tool is not working. It close by itself after see what is the phone connected.
I did it here with the meigoo S8 without any Problems. I tried it at home and there it doesn´t work ! Must be some Kind of Driver or missing .dll files or so.
Try another PC and look if this works then.

I have tried it on 3 different PC (WD 10, WD 8.1, WD 7) . I suspect it for Huawei phone, cause every time it connected to phone then close the app by itself. But I can uninstall sys-apps by used adb shell command.
Hello,
Mobile data doesn't work on 3G and 4G (frequencies are ok).
I tried write on email ([email protected]) but is undelivered.
With hard reset nothing changed...
Does anyone have the stock rom?
