Hi all, just bought a Chuwi V88 Titanium Ice Green tablet and I was wondering if I can use V88/V88s roms for it?
Because for over 2 and a half years this is my first post, I can't post straight to the rom thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2310818
Found an answer elsewhere: Maybe.

Can someone confirm this please?
I've not tested any custom roms yet on mine. I'm still in the phase of growing a pair of balls because I'm too afraid of bricking it.
I'll give it a try right after someone confirms the roms made for classic v88 do work, or when I'm done waiting. Not sure if this little experiment with roms is worth £120.
The main problem is that like 3 people own this thing. Or at least the other ones do not post about it on the forums.
Haha, I understand what u mean.
There is the risk of bricking it, on youtube there is a vid showing how to unbrick a classic v88 shortening a couple pins on the pcb.
But again i'm not sure if this will work on the green version.
I dont know much about customizing firmware, but it would be great if a power optimised rom would work on it.
I will receive my new v88 at the end of this week and will see if i can root it to start with.
I was also hoping someone with more knowledge would have tried it. But like you say, seems like not many people own it yet.
It's starting to look like the custom roms might work after all! I'll wait for the latest CM10.1 rom before flashing.

Yeah, rom developer Oma confirmed that the hardware is the same and custom roms should work. Now it's just waiting until he releases that rom I've been waiting for.
It's now rooted, so atleast that worked. I had few problems when and after rooting and that's why I don't have that high hopes for a successful flashing.
Hello guys my first post in XDA although I kept track of Oma's thread for a while! Does anyone have any more news about the Titanium Ice model and custom roms? And one more question a little bit off topic but as you said very few people own it so maybe someone of them is around . I found the V88 in Music World seller from aliexpress claiming to have a black version of the V88 with OGS screen. Is this the Titanium Ice green model or something new? How can I know when I buy it?

I'm still waiting for Oma's CM10.1 Edition with phabletUI and multiuser support.
Just checked out that black OGS and it seems to be the same as the green one. At least specs are the same. Beware though, there seems to be some sort of problem with screen responsiveness at least with these Ice Green models. It's possible and even likely they've fixed that in newer models.
Somehow I managed to scratch my OGS screen. Actually there's three deep scratches. I don't know where or when this happened, but one thing's for sure: the screen does not exactly have Gorilla Glass' toughness.

I think the OGS is not gorilla glass its just a better screen than normal IPS but does not provide extra protection. I think I read somewjere about the problem with screen resposiveness...I think I'll just go with the V88S because there is not much info around for Titanium Ice. Thanks for the response!

Yeah, that's what I actually meant. It's far from Gorilla Glass' toughness. Although the screens do not have anything in common, I'd expect some sort of scratch protection these days. Maybe the extra layer in Classic V88/V88s protects the screen better, because I've not seen any similar complaints.
The "black" v88 from Music World seller on aliexpress is actually the Ice green version. I know because its the one i have.
bnhmmr, my screen has a screen-protector pre-applied. Its difficult to see, but there is a very thin plastic protector on top of the screen.
I think the scratches you made are on this plastic layer and not in the actual glass.
You can check by looking close to the border of the screen.

You're right, thanks for pointing this out! I thought I had peeled it off the first time I got my hands on it but that've must been the one with logos and some specs. Phew!
Responsiveness is still an issue even without screen protector applied.
Thank you guys. I think I'll go for the V88s then...seems there is more support for ROMs and less problems reported about the Wi-fi and screen responsiveness. I will have to sacrifice that 1 GB extra of RAM, better cameras and thinner design .

No probs! I think the rom support is the same for all v88(s)'s, but wifi and screen issues might be a deal breaker for someone. In daily use I rarely have any problems with neither one of those.
And the cameras are bad also in this OGS.
A new version of CM 10.1 with phabletUI is out . So you mean that all the OMA's ROMs work for the Titanium Ice green version? Has anyone tried that?

It's still an alpha version. I'm waiting for at least a beta with the few issues fixed the current version suffers. Someone confirmed that Oma's roms work and Oma himself confirmed they have the same hardware.
Can i install any CMW on a 2nd generation Chuwi v88?

Hi. I really am confused now... There is a film coming off from the main buttons (below the screen) I didn't put it there but it really seems similar to the screen protective shield. My question - is it replaceable part or is the device getting broken? If yes, is it a specific material (to let the touch to the buttons)? The point is I have a place to get custom screenshields and I'd surely make one for the lower part also
Thanks in advance.
InvisibleShield is the way to go
If you have the CDMA Version:

Well worth the money man! I swear by this product. (Especially as I have a bad habit of throwing my phone in the same pocket as my keys.
EDIT: They make the screenshields, along with the lower part, back part and sides!

Woo man thanks BIG time. This is really worth the money. But as I mentioned I have friends who have the precise tools to produce the shield. It is called "rock/stone-proof" if you translate from estonian. Just wondering if it wont block the touch capability of buttons (they are touch responsive, not pressure responsive like the screen)
you can also get the ones from Bodyguardz which is just as good.
OK. Great replys.
And now the big question:
Was there supposed to be a film AT FIRST on the buttons? I never put it there. It seems a bit fatter than the notorious screenshield. But the surface below it is smooth and the homekey "house" also doesn't seem affected so i think it is separate part. I haven't dared to rip it entirely off yet. But I want to know if I can replace it because the open corner is really ugly for noe
youre talking about the laminate coming up on the navipad buttons. its a common problem and there are many threads about it. http://www.fuzemobility.com/keys-peeling/ if you have att they will replace you with a new "fixed" phone. if you dont then htc probably wont do anything for you. you can pull it up but you may have a problem getting the glue residue off.

Thank you big time. This was the best reply. Of course the situation is making me a bit nervous... Well I have decided to pull it off anyway and am going to replace it with the shield I mentioned before.
Thanks. End of thread I think.
SOLVED!
The custom shield is working. Made with Adobe Illustrator. Based on scanning. Just put the raph into a scanner and redraw the outlines. The output came from Roland plotter/printer/slicer/whatever it is. For free.
Hello guys...
After too much confusion I finally decided to purchase XPS. Just few questions:
1) I read it has plastic body, does that plastic body get scratches too easily after all its main advantage is its design ? Because every now and then my phone fell down from the bed
2) What about its dev community ? Are the new games like asphalt 6, modern combat 3, shadowgun available for the xps ?
3) and yes, what about the Yellow tint issue ? Is it resolved by the sony or still I am in luck to find a good phone ?
4) What you suggest, should I wait for HTC One X price to drop so I can buy it ... Because I would love Quad core, will my xps dual core lag if I play games too much ?
Guys.. I am thinking to change the decision just bcoz of yellow tint issue
talk.sonymobile.com/thread/34135?start=645&tstart=0 45 pages !!! too many users having this problem
Do you still want answers to your questions since you're thinking of not getting it? What device are you planning to get in that case?

I am confused again When I first got to knw abt yellow tint I thought it must be on very few phones.. but I guess I am wrong ?
I really like xperia, got xperia active right now. Don't want to get something else than xperia s but I don't want to take risk !
If you "don't want to take the risk" then choose a different device. Otherwise, get it (It's your choice).

Do you have xperia s? or if any of the reader has it.. can I ask what "good thoughts" you have so u purchased it regardless of its yellow tint issue... ?
the case on SEs don't get scratches easy, I dropped mine about 12 times, no scratches on the case or cracks on the screen, only thing is when I used my foot to bring it back to me - bad idea.

Some people report not having it, treating it by pressing down on the screen, it fading away overtime or when the battery temperature is low, it staying forever, etc, so I don't know.
I think S2 or Sensation XE would be my choice if I don't buy XPS because SIII and HTC One X is out of my budget. These would be my first time purchasing any non sony ericsson mobile. I had W302, then X10 mini pro, then Active and now it would be XPS if there had been NO yellow tint issue ... But I would search on internet more on this and tell you guys which mobile I go with.
Any other choice than XPS, S2, XE with same budget?
Guys.. Even for yellow tint issue I am going for XPS I will try to purchase the phone from latest batch and will tell you how it goes !!! I hope I won't get the yellow tint issue :good:
if ever u get the yellow tint, you can get it replaced.
about scratches, mine just got its first bigtime,. fell about 2 feet on street and top corner border for the back cover easyly got dented! was thinking of melting it back to position but it may just look worse.,
soft matte finish = bigtime scratch magnet

I've had my Xperia S since initial release in the UK so I will answer these questions as best I can for you.
1. You'll be fine with not getting scratches too easily because I've only got a few scratches on my back cover and I've dropped it loads when I've been drunk.
2. Yes, those games you mentioned are available but the 3 newest ones to become available are Asphalt 7, The Amazing Spiderman and Sonic 4 Episode II and they all run perfectly without lag. I confirm that myself.
3. I believe I'm right in saying that you won't have the yellow tint issue because that was only on the earlier releases, like mine. AFAIK, all models made since then haven't had this issue. But even if you do, as mentioned you can send it to Sony and they will send you a replacement.
Not gonna answer question 4 because you've already bought this phone. I hope this has helped you

Hey all,
Quick question here... Firstly, yes, I am a noob. I have an HTC One X on AT&T. My brother actually helped me root it and I'm running the Xi40 ROM I found in these developer forums.
Anyway, about 2 weeks ago, I dropped my precious One X, and cracked the screen. The LCD underneath was fine. I was considering replacing the screen/ digitizer myself, but after plenty of reading, it was just too much for me. So I had a local repair shop replace it. When they replaced the screen/ digitizer, they broke my original LCD, so they replaced the the whole combo (being screen/ digitizer/ and LCD). Well they actually put a international version of the digitizer in my device, and I know, because instead of saying "AT&T" at the top, it says "HTC"...
The replacement doesn't sit totally flush to the device, but I can push it in and it seems like there's space for the screen to fit it. Basically was the repair done wrong, or is the international screen actually different from the US version that's disallowing it to fit flush to the device?
I'll try and get pictures up later if anyone is interested.
Cheers.
I dont think the screens have any differences between the international version and the ATT version so maybe they just did the procedure wrong

Thanks for the insight. Currently I'm just trying to push it into place or something, hoping it will snap in. Any cases you guys would recommended that wraps over the sides to maybe help the screen stay flush?

He didn't do the best job putting it in, then again a lot of us got our phones with the screen not sitting flush as well.
and it isn't necessarily the T3 international version, the Rogers version (which is the same S4 variant) also says Htc on top. Either way though, you're fine.

That may not be true. The Teg3 One X uses panels from Acer and Sharp whereas the XL uses Sony panels exclusively. It seemed kind of odd but if they are actually sized differently it makes sense.

Hi, i just ask about screen protector size in your writen review. I ask because i want to know if a termpered glass from a xiaomi note or other models could fit the entire screen. I dont know the size in MM, so it could be very helpful for many buyers to get this measures.
thank you very much.

Oh I see, I'll measure my screen and get back to you.
Does anyone know if and where I could find M52's ROM? I'm afraid I've already broken mine.
How you did it? Try a factory reset?

My screen measurements including the bezel (or the part where you would put a screen protector or tempered glass over) is almost exactly:
150.5mm Tall
74.8mm Wide
Rounded edges on all 4 corners of the screen with radius 1.5mm.
Hope this helps.

What happened? Currently I don't know, but I'll post here when I find it. NeedRom doesn't have it yet.

I rooted mine using Kingo (nothing wrong until this point), but then I removed some system apps (Gallery/Browser/etc, since I had alternatives to them), and on the next restart, System UI crashed. Factory reset did not solve the problem, hence my need for the ROM. I've checked NeedRom, already, but thank you, anyway.

By the way, do you know any case that will fit the M52, I'm not talking about the OEM flip case, just a normal back cover? Thanks.

Aren't they the type where the phone is held by adhesive? Are they any good -can phone be removed and replaced, does adhesive mark the phone? I've gone with the flipcover, not too keen on the window ( no protection ), but as the m52 looks pretty bulky already, it looks about as slim as it's going to get. One of the aliexpress sellers (not sunsky )has the flipcover , and their product code is DG2014, so you might be able to check cases for that, though it doesn't make complete sense as DG2014 isn't as thick as m52

About size, its almost the same as alcatel pop c9, my girlfriend has it, with a flip cover also. The c9 without a flipcase is fine, but is bulky with it,
I had read some rumors, about the screen res. Not being hd but qhd. Is there a way to cheat about it? Pls check this vídeo https://youtu.be/yR5jhT08jXI

Hey guys, my unboxing video is up!
Thanks for the video, looking forward to the full review. I've got one on (pre-)order from Gearbest. Please include some (graphics) benchmarks, a GPS test, and check the maximum cpu frequency as there seem to be a lot of poor perfoming 1Ghz MT6735 Socs out there. Allthough your preliminary Antutu score of 27.000 seems to indicate the MX Base is running at the full 1.3Ghz.

Thanks for the review, looks like a solid phone. Too bad about the IR Blaster and the mediocre camera. But no deal breakers for me.
I hope Gearbest get off their *ss and ship my phone out. Yesterday they told me it would be at least two more weeks, today they said one or two days. Fingers crossed it will be the latter.
Is it preordered item? And it's real shipping content without TPU case? As we know Mlais promised to add Glass screen protector AND TPU case, which isn't presented in latest video.

Yeah all depends on your luck. It can be shipped out in a day or 7 business days, and that's after they have stock.

Hi they also shipped me a TPU case, but I just didn't show it in the video, just the glass. It is in the unboxing video though.
There is an updated rom on the Mlais website, not much info on what has been addressed though;

I'm not power in chineese, but if you check file releasenote.xls inside of archive - there is some minor changes in camera settings (zero timeout, camera interpolation) and visual changes (wallpapers, encryption).
---------- Post added at 10:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:04 AM ----------
And another question - where gifts was placed - inside of Mlais box or simply attached in shipping package?
Well Gearbest kept their word for a change. My Mlais MX Base is on its way. Shipped via Netherlands Post, which has been pretty quick for me in the past (but then again, I live in the Netherlands, which might help).
Curious to find out if the screen protector and tpu case are included.

I think preorders have a much higher chance of getting it. Let us know whether you do get it, but I guess you can wile away the time eating butterkook and planting tulips
How do you pronounce this brand's name?
Someone know's mabye what is the battery life? How much screen hours is can reach for real?
And the camera is so bad or it is fine?
Root?
Has anyone managed to figure out a root method or custom recovery yet?

I got 5 hours of SOT, 1:45 was gaming and I was at 40% left after the phone was off the charger for 16 hours.
How is the charge time?

The IR-port without problems works. It is checked for TV LG, Philips, Samsung.
