[Q] Acer Liquid S1 - General Questions and Answers

Hi all,
Since there is still no device specific forum for the Acer Liquid S1.
Me and probably many other people who own this budget 5.7" phablet beast consider this phone as a device that certainly deserves his own forum
Until there is a device specific forum I created this thread so every S1 owner can share tips and questions regarding the Acer Liquid S1 (=S510).
I didn't see any request for a device specific forum, so make sure to request it here:

Haven't seen anyone try it yet - but I'd guess it's done through the standard MTK-procedures? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2160490
Possibly even motochopper that works for the Liquid E2? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40747604

Hope there will be some dev around this phone too

Agreed and now looking at the details of new Acer Liquid S2 - I feel it definitely deserves it's own section - especially when I compare the specs to the likes of Ultra and Note III a worthy competitor and would like to see some development and discussion on this model.
ps: added a request to create forum - in the new devices section - hope someone does create one and we can see some new development on this

Trying to root it, but this device seems to be well locked. :/

Thats bad news, this is what is holding me off getting it at the moment. I did find a link when searching for a solution that led here :http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=2798984876&uk=2318828147 (it is in chinese).
Don't know if it works though, been searching for confirmation of the device rooted but with no luck though.

Hi spanner44, that tool failed to root the S1

Thats a shame.
The main reason I need to root initially, is to be able to transfer my files from existing phone. Does anyone know if Helium would enable this ?
If this works, then I don't mind going for this phone, and as long as I can transfer my data, I can hold out for root until hopefully more developers get on board.

Helium could be enough yes. What files exactly do you need to transfer?
Envoyé depuis mon S510

Mainly my game files, well Subway surfers for definite. My apps I can download again from the play store. Of course some games are now connected via G+ sign in, so they are alright, it is just a shame that this feature isn't compulsory on all apps/games. It would make the transition to a new phone easier.

The camera is just of average
Just bought Acer Liquid S1 a couple of weeks ago. Everything works fine except for the camera. With 8MP camera fitted on it, the quality of the picture is just mediocre. The front camera (2MP) is also disappointing, full of noise when it is used indoors. There's no visible notification when the display is off. Therefore, we need to turn on the display to check whether there's a miscall or incoming email or text message.
Is there any way in which I can have root access for this phablet? I have ODIN software installed in my laptop, and I just need a *.tar file special for this product to root it.

We manage to have root working on the Acer S510 (S1)
Check out our French Forum : http://acer-club.fr/viewtopic.php?f=210&t=9323
@gbas4nie don't use Odin, it's only for Samsung devices....
Edit : And tools are also available on my website : http://acer.shreps.fr

Just moved over from Samsung Note to this phone as it's Dual Sim. Brilliant, as I no longer have to carry two phones with me. Works great. and less than half the price of a Note. I miss the stylus, but apparently a dual sim Note may be coming soon!

Hello, is there any root-guide in english available?

Hi that's strange as the app that flashes will check the ROM version and won't flash if your system is not as expected. Did you use the app ?

[Q] "A9 NEC RENESAS EMMA V2 Dual Core Android 2.2 Tablet" review anyone?

Hi guys!
Since I didn't find any review to the "A9 NEC RENESAS EMMA V2 Dual Core Android 2.2 Tablet" offered in the (german) cect-shop, I was wondering whether someone already bought and tried it. Specs are quite nice, IMHO and videos on youtube look promising. Can someone share his experience with that tablet?
Thanks in advance.
Rena3 Reply
Hi,
I personally have the device and the experience so far has been good using the device.
There is a whole bunch of information over at slatedroid page where there is a group of active users.
Sorry but my post is very little so you have to head over at slatedroidpage, please replace the dots with "."
www dot statedroid dot com/forum/204-rena/
Perhaps someone wants to start a thread over at this page? Hopefully some XDA developer over here owns the device and we can get things started
overall the device has received 3 firmware upgrades so far and the community is hopeful for gingerbread to be released for this. We do have the kernel source codes for this product but do not have any developers to help us out with getting gingerbread out yet for this.
also replace statedroid with "slatedroid"
I also don't purchase this tablet, but i purchase flytouch 3 from a china site,called mcbub.com,i find they have the A9 NEC renesas tablet, here is some review in their site:
http://www.mcbub.com/customer-revie...GB-Bluetooth-HDMI-MID-black-CN101769--136318/
hope this can help you.

full root for Rena 3
Greetings, comrades!
All the usual, lazy engine of progress. Tired of doing manually as rooting and rebuild the firmware for Rena, i am wrote a script that works like a flash, but flash itself is not working, just do it root! =)
Thus, the universal root for any firmware Rena 3:
Install:
Unzip all the files and qroot directory to root SD card.
Turn off the device.
Turn on, hold VOL+ POWER.
Wait until the message "Well done. Root complete."
Reboot device, enjoy.
The necessary files and directories:
install.sh
uImage4
ff4
cramfs4
sdboot.bin
uboot-sd.bin
and directory /qroot
NOTE!
The update does not repartition and reformat the partitions do not.

anyone tried out the riley ROM 4.2.2 for the 3G version and could post his experiences. What are the advantages you get through this custom ROM?

Yes, installed the version 1.2 a few days ago. Installation worked, no problem at all. Just follow the instructions in the readme file.
- Use the recovery.img form the 1.1 version zip.
- One more thing, the deleting (cant remember the correct name) did not count to 16384 as in the manual. It finishes at 4096. Had contact with the author and he agreed, the readme is not exact in this case.
Now, with the new image, I have full root, all Chinese apps are removed and all works really well.
Hope this helps

So far, if you want multi user you have to do it manually.
Check what the script does and the you have to copy your current user to the new user folder as the apk to create user is not there.
/system/data/users
./0 == Current User
./10 == New User (could be any number)

I can recommend www.pipomall.com. 1st bought a M8PRO from them and then a M6 and really great service with honest advice via online chat on their site. Got great deals as well and shipping via DHL was like 5 days from Hong Kong to New Zealand.
Both are great tablets - If you're keen on using it mostly for gaming you may have more issues with the M6 and game compatibility due to its high resolution - its no fault of the Pipo but the game devs still catering for the more popular resolutions.
Good value for money these little beauties
Any chance to have a custom recovery such CWM or TWRP?
Anyone does know if are already out?
Thanks

What do you mean by check what the script does, which script?
Found the user dirs and can copy them, but i could find no script or anything resembling in my searches.
Really would like to add multi user support.
20-07 - I found something:
Add:
fw.max_users=5
to build.prop, then rebooting, enables the feature. This allows up to 5 users, change the number as desired.
This did actually add user section into settings menu and allowed to add user. However when log in with second user it hangs on com.android.provision.DefaultActivity. Original user still works fine.
I'll keep searching

I might tend to agree with you. An example of the fakeness is that its got the same processor as the one x yet scores far lesser than the one x.If this continues to hold true might have to go for an xperia L

Already tried a week ago no reply.
I think someone should try customer service number and ask.
Also should mention that if they refuse it is a violation of the gpl licensing terms and a complaint will be filed with the gnu.
any one already with the device can you check wether its got a fastboot bootloader or a custom one.
read some where its got a standard fastboot one.
EDIT : to go into fastboot mode ...
power off the device
press volume up and power key wait till a menu appears.
alternative press power + volume up key for 3 sec then leave power and keep volume pressed till menu appears.
if this works try this command for bootloader unlock.
Code:
fastboot oem unlock

I want to purchase this phone.. can anyone already having it could tell me about the pros and cons.. any problems facing with the OS.. Any lag or hang issues?
and what about the battery life.. If anyone can do a quick review, it will be very helpful for me..
I know its specs are impressive but like most domestic companies don't optimize the OS which causes many performance related issues..
Any reply would be appreciated...
Thanks in advance

EDIT 2: Stock android recovery works. Unable to find a cwm that will boot. sending successful, booting fails. note that i have not flashed cwm but sending. fastboot boot cwm.img
Pro's: Tegra 3 games run awesome. Bechmark awesome. 12k on antutu. Repeated benchmark will reduce score as nvidia chips have a mechanism to reduce heat, overload, it reduces ghz if too much heat/ repeated usage. Good gaming.
Con's: Weaker signal (2g) havent tried 3g. also might be cuz of rain here past few days. Only problem indoor. Outdoor signal is good. GPS locking is bad. Might be also because of rain. not sure. Not FCC certified meaning the radiation levels not tested. Most companies have approved certificates for safe radiation levels. Not sure about XOLO. If 16k is your budget, this would be the only QUALITY handset out there. Rest are all mediatek POOP.
Xolo Plat T1000
Is it safe to assume that this device will ultimately be supported here at XDA (since it is so awesome )? I really want to buy this phone but won't buy unless it can be rooted and custom ROMS are available.

No one can guarantee that buddy. Get a nexus if u want that guarantee. All we can do is hope.

Well, then I will wait for at least a month before I buy a new phone. Right now my HTC One V is doing pretty well with Slim Bean . T1000 is much cheaper than the Nexus.

well you see a developer post here saying Im buying this device and will get a custom rom soon. then you can be assured.
so far from what I see maybe the sp tools(used by all mtd devices) might just not work but thats my guess.
so we need cwm first and then flash any root packages.but so far its all speculations and guess work.

[Completed] [HELP] How to Root ALCATEL FLASH 2

Hi,
First i would like to give thanks to all the information on this site, so i decided to create an account here to try and share too.
It just happened that I've bought a cool smartphone and tried to Root it, Luckily it went not successful haha my bad.
I've tried using almost all the One Click Rooting Apps (apk) available on here. So I Guess after what I've done with my powers I should ask for a SOS.
infos:
Released on September 2015
Android OS, v5.1, 16GB storage,
5.0", 720x1280 pixels
13MP, 1080p
2GB RAM ; MT6753
3000mAh Battery.
Is it because of the Lollipop v5.1 why I can't root it?? and if i use a computer base rooting will i hurt my Phone?
Thanks for those who will help.
Already done that sir

Hey thanks for the response, yeah but as I have said,
"I've tried using almost all the One Click Rooting Apps (apk) available on here. So I Guess after what I've done with my powers I should ask for a SOS."
I've used Kingroots latest Version so far, Until Kingroot updates its database I guess we have to wait.
Anyway I will keep on trying to gain something too and to Help Others that meets same problem as mine.

Hi sir, Thanks for the link, I've found a Rooting process there but i can't post a Link in here (yet). I'm just afraid to try it because of complicated process, it might cause a Bootloop if done anything wrong.

OffTopic, seems like other reply for this thread is not posting. XDA emailed me that someone is replying on this thread but I can't see it hehehe.
This is taking far too much long, so thread closed.

Vkworld VK700x Review - A $60 Smartphone

The VKWorld VK700 is a super cheap device costing just about $59.99 but with specs that are quite good for this price tag.
The phone looks quite good, has a CNC metal frame and a 6.9mm thin body.
It features the MT6580a quad-core chipset clocked at 1.5GHz, with 1GB RAM and 8GB of storage. This is further expandable up to 64GB via MicroSD. There’s a 5-inch display with 720p resolution, which is quite impressive given the price tag.
At the back, there’s an 5mp camera intrapolated to 8mp while up front, there is a 2mp sensor intrapolated to 5mp. Both cameras do a decent job in bright conditions, however any pictures taken in low light look pretty bad. This was to be expected for such a cheap device.
The device is running Android 5.1 Lollipop OS. Unfortunately the manufacturer decided to use their own launcher so it can add a few "features" to the device. That doesn't work that well; the phone becomes laggy and the offered features are useless. Installing nova launcher makes wonders and the phone becomes quite fast and snappy.
Another disappointing thing about this device is the 2200mah battery. It seems quite impossible to get more than 2h of screen time on. Of course, not everyone uses their phone that much, and it js quite possible that the phone will make it through an entire day with moderate usage.
Most apps and games work really well on this device even with the 1gb of ram. The phone does get quite hot while playing games. Luckily the heat dissipates quick enough thru the metal frame.
This phone doesn't have a notification light and the 3 buttons at the bottom of the device don't light up.
Overall, for $60usd you get a good looking phone that cuts some corners in order to keep that low price.
Check out the review video for more detailed information about this device.

Last question: how can I have recovery in English? Thanks for your work, Kywrosaki!
I can´t download the official firmware + recovery.
The download failed all times.
could somebody upload the files again?
Thanks,
Edit: I got it now. Thanks
OTA update to v11 firmware now available. But I don't want to loose root and the custom recovery, so I did not install it yet. The update.zip contains a lot of checks and probably also checks the bootloader and recovery.
Somebody already updated to v11? On the vkworld site, you can only download v08 firmware.
Thanks

You have to put recovery. After that in recovery you have to install "UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip" and ready. (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bxh2gs7XEYrYa3RDNUJWam02WGs/view?usp=sharing)
Getting the SPFlash Tool to work with the right drivers and timing is not always easy.
So is it possible to flash the custom TWRP through fastboot? Did somebody try that?
I own the VK700, paid around $65. Nice entry level phone, happy with it. Just some freezes sometimes probably because of the 1GB ram, and a lazy GPS. Except those minor issues, works great.

I rooted a VK700 a few months ago using RootGenius 2.2.6. More recently I wanted to root another VK700 but RootGenius was unable to do it, telling the VK700 was not in the list of rootable devices. I found it weird but then I used VRoot 1.8.6 and it worked fine.
Maybe you can try using these tools to root the VK700x?
