Star K550 Review--Doogee DG2014 and Leagoo Lead 1 killer or clone

Recently, i found a very amazing smartphone from China, it's Star K550, when i see the look, i was attracted by the similar look to Doogee DG2014 or Leagoo lead 1. Maybe it looks more similar to the Leagoo lead 1, because they both have 5.5inch IPS screen. Most importantly, Star K550 is much cheaper than leagoo lead 1 and Doogee dg2014.

5.5 Inch 960 * 540 Pixel QHD IPS Screen
5.5inch IPS screen provided you the large viewing or better video watching , even when you play 3D games, you can also enjoy the large screen. QHD 960*540 Screen resolution is also enough for me to watch movies clearly. If it's higher screen resolution, it will be better.
1GB Ram 8GB Rom
In view of the internal memory, the RAM 1GB and ROM 8GB is the standard match for a mid-range smartphone, of course, you can also buy an external TF card to expand your storage. For me, i just install some useful apps in my phone. RAM 1GB is also good for me.
Latest Android4.4 kitkat OS
Latest Android 4.4 KitKat, makes the functions fully optimized and brings safe and convenient using experience. The latest android system is really nice, i must have to say! Run faster, operate much easier.
Dual Cameras with Flashlight
5.0MP front camera, 13.0MP back camera. Support HDR, Panorama, face beauty mode and smiling faces automatically detected.
2200mAh Battery
Star K550 has 2200mAh battery, it can be used for 7--8 hours if i always use it to watch videos. But if i just chat or read some news on it, the standy time is much optimistic. I guess I also can get a backup battery when i go to travel.
By the way, if anyone has got the ROM for it, please share with me. I also want to make my smartphone to update better!

It seems identical to Lead 1 (that I bought) except display model (lower resolution but same inches).
Dido you try to root it? Did you check if OTG works?

The UMi Iron is made out of metal, a 7.9mm-thin metal body. You’ll notice that the phone doesn’t sport any capacitive buttons on its body, you’ll use the on-screen software buttons which are a part of this package. The UMi Iron features a 5.5-inch 1080p (1920 x 1080) display along with 3GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage (expandable up to 64GB). This handset is powered by MediaTek’s MT6753 64-bit octa-core processor, and the device will ship with a 3,350mAh battery. The UMi Iron sport a 13-megapixel camera on its back (Sony’s IMX214 sensor), while the 8-megapixel snapper (OmniVision’s sensor) is available up front. Android 5.1 Lollipop comes pre-installed on this device, and 4G LTE connectivity is also available here.
The device also offers an LED notification (RGB LED) light at the very bottom of the phone. The device also ships with a heart rate monitor and UV sensor for health applications, and a Texas Instruments Hi-Fi audio is also a part of the package. Interesting enough, this device will also get an eye scanner capability with an OTA update. So, as you can see, this phone really packs in a lot in terms of specs and features, but doesn’t cost all that much. The device is priced at $179.99, and can be ordered via 1949deal one of Chinese resellers which can be found on UMi’s official webpage.

Hi. I've bought a used Umi Iron. The screen needs replacing. It seems they're difficult to find. There are however many Iron Pro screens. Specs wise they seem exactly the same. Would anyone know if they're compatiible with the Iron. Thanks

Ditched my Lenovo Phab Plus 6.8 for the P8Max. It's pretty good but camera and videos on the Phab is terrible.

Dual Hybrid Sim
Sim1 Micro Sim
Sim 2 nano sim or Microsd cards
So you can't have 2 sims plus an Sdcard
128 gb sim works

P8max Power Button
Hi,
After two months of usage my only complaints so far are:
1. The power button is in the wrong place for me as my LH forefinger sometimes presses it.
2. The "Where are you?" and Voice Phone call function no longer work after the upgrade to 5.1.1
Good stuff:
1. The Huawei keyboard with swipe.
2. The Huawei File Manager
ScottyJavea

so is this phone considered ARM or ARM64? gonna get the phone from a HK trip in Nov... and i'm gonna root it and install XPosed on it... gotta figure out the arm version..
based on what i saw on the wiki page, kirin 93x series has a 64 bit memory bus architecture...

Androidx86 7.1 Unidentified video number - HDMI from laptop to TV

Hi, I'm trying to set up a nice little android 7.1 system to attach to my TV using a HDMI cable though I'm having a bit of trouble with the resolution. I'm getting a black border around the screen - See the below image.

This is what the laptop screen looks like below.
I've plugged in another laptop that has windows installed and noted down the resolution which is 1280x768. I've also found the corresponding vga values both 16 and 32. 1280x768x16 = 888 and 1280x768x32 = 889
When I add either of these to the menu.lst file I get a message on boot stating that I'm using an undefined video number.
Like the below image:
I've typed scan to get the video modes available but there are no resolutions that match the aspect ratio of my screen. I've tested the ones listed but they still either don't take up the whole screen or match the aspect ratio.
The below image shows a list of codes that I have found.
The laptop I'm running this on is pretty old but with windows or any of the other Linux distros I've found I have no problem.
Specs:
Processor: Intel Celeron C900
Clock Speed: 2.2 GHz, 800MHz FSB, 1MB L2 Cache
Operating System: Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium
Memory: 3GB DDR2 RAM
Hard Drive: 250GB
Optical Drive: Lightscribe Super Multi DVD-RW
Display Screen: 15.6? High Definition HP Brightview Widescreen TFT LCD Display
Connectivity: Wireless enabled
Graphics: Intel GMA 4500MHD Graphics chipset
Graphics Memory: Up to 1309MB Graphics memory from shared resources
Camera: Built-in Webcam
Additional Features: HDMI connectivity, External display (VGA) port
Networking: Integrated 10/100Base-T Ethernet (LAN)
Audit: Altec Lansing integrated speakers
Connectivity: 3x USB ports, 5 in 1 integrated digital media card reader
Weight: 2.58kg
Battery Life: Up to 2 hours
Is there any way of getting around this? Or am I going about this the wrong way?
Many thanks!!!
Let me know if I need to provide more info!

OK I've managed to figure it out incase anyone was wondering.
Instead of booting with a vga=someNumber I used video=LVDS-1:d. This works a treat!
The only problem with this is would be that it doesn't use the laptop screen at all. But for me this is not a problem really.

I believe that the laptop resolution is not the same as the TV and the TV cannot resize to match the resolution (mirroring).
When you use video=LVDS-1:d you disable the laptop screen and it can use the TVs resolution just fine.
I am not sure that you can use the TV as an extended screen like xrandr would allow.
