[Q] Vodafone Smart 4 Turbo topic

I have a Vodafone Smart 4 Turbo as much as i know this is made by yulong I managed to root this phone when it was 4.4.2 but then vodafone released an update that wouldn't install so i unrooted and still couldn't install the update now the update probably wouldn't install because i'd removed some apps so i thought right i'll reroot and put the apps back but the phone wouldn't reroot again now i'd tried the art runtime (the art runtime is fast but it takes up more internal and some apps stop working but it does run a lot quicker) so possibly it might have been this so anyway i then searched the internet and found the yulong site where i got hold of the coolpad 8865u rom which this phone is suppose to be, to reset the phone back to stock. I'd got hold of the YGDP flashing software and reflashed the phone but it then wouldn't start so I found that you needed to connect to adb and reboot in to recovery through the pc and the phone then booted up but the fone now while running glitches/stutters periodically during normal operation and during games plus the processor doesn't clock down to 300mhz anymore just 787mhz I'm thinking is this the right rom if not then what is? it has all the right branding or is this just a bad update? I did actually install the official vodafone update over the top of this rom so that probably points to the rom being offical. I've been searching for the original 4.4.2 stock rom but as yet havn't been able to locate it. I have found a coolpad 3601u rom that i vaguely remember had the same baseband/build number but have yet to properly identify this rom or find anything that will flash the phone with it. the difference between the 8865u and the 3601u roms is the 8865u is a snapdragon 400 with adreno 305 and the 3601u is a snapdragon 410 with adreno 306 both are suppose to be smart 4 turbo's but i'm not so sure about this as info is sketchy due to the yulong site being in chinese and the browser translator only translates some of the text so if anybody has any other info on this it would be helpful. I have also rooted this rom but haven't looked into custom recoveries yet. The main annoyance is the glitchy/stuttering if anybody knows what to do about this that would cool

[Q] Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo help topic

I know nothing about any of this so bare with me guys/gals please. Just need help once and ill remove my account. If any of you feel like im wasting your time then please tell me and ill remove my post. Thankyou and i hope someone will give me an idea of whats going on.
Friends ex girlfriend is remotely accessing his phone from her computer, she can lock him out and write text out of format on the lock screen. She has deleted everything on his phone 8 times in the past hour. The Verizon recovery app has been disabled, we went into the Verizon store and changed EVERYTHING, number, passwords, made sure if she ever called in wanting info she couldn't get it. There is no way she figured out any of the passwords, she doesn't have access to any of his accounts, gmails facebook etc... i thought for sure she was using the recovery app but that's impossible cause no account has been created to access to his phone. Idk guys like i said im not an expert one thing that has me most skeptical she can write whatever she wants, whatever color, on his phone on any spot on the screen. Its completely out of set text formations on the lock screen looks like doodles i guess. Just curious if you guys have have ever heard of anything like this happening before. Thanks and i apologize if this shouldn't be here just on a desperate attempt to figure this out. Verizon is completely stumped they have no idea how she does it, even the main tech guy at the store (idk his credentials) cant figure it out.

IPhone5s vs Droid Turbo Camera: Just the facts. topic

Besides my Turbo I also have a company provided IPhone5s so I decided to do a real world side by side comparison. Here is the setting: my truck is parked about 250' away from stop sign, I held each phone with both hands resting on the steering wheel. Both phones have all settings on AUTO the crossroad has a speed limit of 50 mph and no stoplights nearby so I am fairly certain the vehicles crossing in front of me are doing no less than 50 mph. My purpose is to catch the vehicles as close to the center of intersection as I possibly can, I took the Turbo pictures first and made every possible effort to capture the best picture possible with both phones. Observation: the shutter SOUND on the Iphone was instant, shutter SOUND on Turbo had an estimated full second delay. Look at the pictures and draw your own conclusions. :D

Motorola Droid Turbo XT1254 Dual Camera Video/Pics topic

Hey guys, was working on a personal project for fun, modified a droid turbo a bit to add a second camera to see what it would look like if it had dual cameras. The second camera doesn't work, just there for visual purposes. Would you guys go for a dual cam turbo or you think the single camera looks better?

[Q] Droid Turbo or Note 4? topic

Posting this thread in the Note 4 section and the Droid Turbo section to get fair, balanced opinions.

I currently have the VZW Note 4, and I'm thoroughly unimpressed. The camera quality is lacking, the phone isn't fast, though I keep reading how zippy it should be. I have 5 apps installed that didn't come with the phone, and have disabled the bloatware apps. With that said, I'm thinking of moving to the Droid Turbo and wanted some opinions.

I've read the comparison articles, and I'm hoping the community can help me make the best decision based on which phone is likely to root and/or unlock bootloader first, ROM availability, and longevity of update life (will I receive further updates beyond Lolli).

Kingzone K1 Turbo Tweaks & Fixes topic

Hi guys,
I wanted to post this here in case it helps anyone else enjoy their device while we wait for kitkat for our device :silly:
There are a few things that I had issues with with the K1T to start off with:

1. ROOT!


2. Install Custom Recovery


3. Slow and inaccurate GPS


4. Inability to install Xposed Framework


5. Lack of useful Cyanogenmod features like advanced reboot menu


6. Expandable volume settings


7. Volume too loud at lowest setting


8. Gyroscope not working


9. GPS being constantly on!


10. Navigation buttons going dark while screen is on


11. Auto brightness too bright in dark

OK so to start off with I'm going to assume that you have adb tools installed on your PC and has some idea of how to use it.
I have tested this for the Kingzone K1 Turbo only. Regardless use this guide at your own risk.
All these changes were made on Stock ROM (0502L009_20140815)

1. Root:
This is quite straightforward. Download the attached RootGenius program and follow the simple instructions HERE

2. Install Custom Recovery:
Download my TWRP-based recovery HERE and place it on the root of your SD-Card.
Install MobileUncle from Play Store and choose Recovery Update in the menu after accepting root prompt.
Select the recovery.img file that you have on your SD-Card and follow the prompts.
Done.

3. First of all, depending on were you live, you should change the NTP values and additional server values in the gps.conf file since they are set up for China(unless you live in China of course)
Since I live in Europe, I chose the European NTP entries.
I would suggest that you find the entries for your region HERE
This is what my gps.conf looks like(/system/etc/gps.conf):

Code:

---

NTP_SERVER=europe.pool.ntp.org
XTRA_SERVER_1=0.europe.pool.ntp.org
XTRA_SERVER_2=1.europe.pool.ntp.org
XTRA_SERVER_3=2.europe.pool.ntp.org
DEFAULT_AGPS_ENABLE=TRUE
INTERMEDIATE_POS=1
ACCURACY_THRES=4000
SUPL_PORT=7276
SUPL_HOST=supl.google.com

---

To you see yours type in adb shell:

Code:

---

cat /system/etc/gps.conf

---

To edit yours use something like ES File Explorer and only edit the first 4 lines to match the servers for your region.
Then delete files /data/misc/mtkgps.dat & /data/misc/EPO.DAT
Reboot your device and go outside.
With internet access and some maps application or something open... wait until it gets a fix. It can take a few minutes this first time because it has to regenerate the files that was deleted.
From now on your GPS fix should be quicker but your accuracy still might not be 100% this will be much improved once you DeOdex your ROM in a later step below which I HIGHLY recommend doing.

4. Inability to install Xposed Framework:
The reason for this is that you need to DeOdex the stock ROM before this would work.
I found an excellent article HERE by @superstone to deodex our device.
I've slightly simplified the steps though since they are not all required.
DO A FULL BACKUP in recovery ...... just in case... :)
Ensure you are able to use adb. If not google for a guide that shows you how to install adb tools.
Download the attached customized MTK deodex tool from the Unreal Odexer guys as can be seen in THIS thread and extract onto your PC.
Use the tool as per the included instructions to extract and deodex the files from your phone.
Then copy the files from the app and framework folders on your PC to your SD-CARD to /sdcard/done_app & /sdcard/done_frame
Next in command prompt on your PC:

Code:

---

adb remount
adb shell
stop
cp /sdcard/done_app/* /system/app/
rm /system/app/*.odex
rm /system/app/*.jex
cp /sdcard/done_frame/* /system/framework/
rm /system/framework/*.odex
rm /system/framework/*.jex
echo dalvik.vm.execution-mode=int:fast >> /system/build.prop
reboot recovery

---

In recovery wipe Cache and Dalvik-Cache.
Reboot and wait for the first boot to complete. It will take some extra time while recreating the cache.
After this you should be able to install Xposed framework without issues AND much improved GPS accuracy and fix time.

5, 6, 10, 11:
Install the Gravitybox xposed module after you installed the framework as described above and you will be able to customize ALL of these items so that it is very Cyanogenmod-like.
Go through the options in Gravitybox to find what you would like, I promise you you will like the stock ROM much more after :P

7. Media volume to high on lowest setting through loudspeaker.
in mobileuncle tools go to the Engineering Mode(MTK)>Hardware>Audio>LoudSpeaker Mode
Choose Type = Media & Level = 0
Then set the value to something lower.... I chose 120 but this is up to you... you can change the other volume steps here as well but I left it.

8. Gyroscope not working.
This needs to be fixed in the source... I'm still hoping that I'll be able to do this one day :P
9. GPS constantly being on.
Under the All Apps menu, force-close and disable the weather apps that came with the phone, they are hogging the GPS.


Anyway I hope this helps someone. If you have any questions then please feel free to ask. :good::good:
