Blu Life One X2/ Mini - Development

Welcome.
Very short about me: Most of you know me as ieatgravity, I ported TWRP Recovery a little less than a year ago and was able to achieve root on the Life One X2. Since then I have developed guides, auto rooting tools, roms, and I maintain BLOX2.com a dedicated site for all Life One X2 and Mini Development. I apologize for the long absence. However it seems as if this community has really bloomed from where I left off. I want to thank EVERYONE who has supported this development for our phone over the last year, whether it be financially, simple encouragement, thanks, prayers, or you even helping develop something new. I tried my best to credit everyone involved, though many have come and gone we hope YOU will take an interest and try your hand at developing!
As of now we have all been using the first thread we had for our device as a catch all for development, apps, support, general q&a's. Though it has worked for us up until now, a few of us have decided that we should have a dedicated thread to development ideas, topics and questions to keep everything organized.
For now this thread will support both the X2 & Mini. So when you post, please specify the device.
Table of contents:
List of current development to date
Great "How To's" and Guides

Personally I haven't tried. As I'm still running on marshmallow, but from what I gathered from the wiko thread i started months ago the auto root tools were not successful. So for the time being there is no root for 7.1.1

I confirm we can't flash anything in fastboot mode on ufeel prime 7.1.1.
We are looking for since September. Impossible to root.

Has anyone attempted using Kingroot.apk (NOT KINGOROOT) to root then use a root flasher like flashify, rashr, official twrp app, to flash the custom recovery. From there root using magisk manager patch the boot.img, reboot into twrp then flash the patched_boot.img to boot partition. While still in TWRP, navigate to the kingroot.apk location within /system/app. Delete the kingroot.apk and reboot. At this point you should have a working systemless root without the sketchiness of using kingroot.
If anyone has the time to test this out let me know the results please.

Hi ieatgravity ? about yours drax rom, does it work on wiko U Feel Prime? Maybe it's a dummy question but I have my doubts so it's better to ask you (OP) I think ? thanks in advance

Hi guys. I tried another thing in my Ufeel. One week now I have it with Red Wolf custom recovery and Viper_garlic rom 7.1.2 both for Yureka Black running. Everything works fine only with the recovery not. It's working but not 100%? I'm not a developer and I don't have the knowledge and tools for see what can do to better working. I thing sharing this with you guys it's important. And maybe someone with the knowledge (and time) want to see it. I try to get logs from the problems.
ps. Sorry for the bad English ?

New OTA update in France this morning. Version V39, always android 7.1.1. No bugs anymore with delay for unlock phone at reboot. Now fastboot devices is detected but always impossible to unlock. All commands says "unknown command"

Hi guys ? I found one thread for another wiko and it have the same problem but they found a way. I think maybe works for we to but I have no time ( work and new family member ?) maybe someone want to try
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/root-how-to-root-wiko-view-t3740005
Ps- I tried the "Tinno" code in another wiko in nougat and it worked. Hope this is useful

Hello everybody, I just got the BLOX2 Mini and wanted to start working with it. I can see this thread hasn't been updated and that the blox2.com web is down. Can anyone direct me to the best resource available in order to unlock, install TWRP, root, etc. in the Mini, either in XDA or elsewhere? I noticed there's a long thread on the regular sized BLOX2 but I am not completely sure if what is available there will work in the mini.
Thanks!

Lineage 16 for Blu Life One X2 Mini?
Hi ieatgravity,
Are you still out there?
I'm wondering if Lineage 15 or 16 is also available for the Blu Life One X2 Mini?

Do these ROMs have the slight but constant micro-stuttering that the stock ROM has?

I guess all these ROMs are loaded with Google's stuff?
With the exception of Play Store I'd like to be free of the Google fleet of useless apps.
It's great that you've been able to port these ROMs. I hope a lot of people use them. I just have different needs! Tx.

Yes, all of them. You can "freeze" or delete unwanted Google apps. Do it manually or try to find scripts which can do this automatically.

Hi, I was thinking to buy this tablet.
Can these ROMs fix the issue of too high brightness even at the lowest level?
If not can you recommend a free application to solve the problem?
Better this or teclast m89 pro? Thanks.

To solved this brightness issue I use the sFilter app or any other blue light filter app.
But to tell the truth, I wouldn't recommend to buy any Teclast tablet. I have a problem where he doesn't accept the installation of Instagram or Facebook app. I saw that many people have the same problem.
Anyone else with this problem or know how to solve?

I added solution, check it and let me know if it works for u
It's possible to change brightness limits manually by editing firmware files, If there's a big problem for u and other users I can change its' range sometime. Just let me know what firmware u are using.

Hello dev!
Are you still working on this device firmware? I bought it this month and not even on official site could find updates for, so I don't know if there is any firmware that I should update before using these that you made...
I'm using Pixel Experience and found it great. But I had problems with the initial setup, which always had trouble trying to recover the configuration of another device. When I checked to set up as a new device it work fine.
I could not open Magisk too, but i wanted to disable it and remove, but always shows error when trying. I'll try MIUI in sequence to see if I can.
Another question: The modified Stock has gapps included? (and can I remove root?)
Thank you so much for your work, I was happy to know that have other firmware for this tablet.
PS.: sorry for the "google translator english", my english is poor. lol

I used the modified rom too and liked a lot, but I couldn't install some apps through the playstore and had problems to remove root (Magisk). So I installed ASUS ROM and it is very stable and everything is working great. I'll leave it and see what happens!
Thanks!

Hello!
1) There is no more firmwares to port for our device. Also I don't know much about modding firmwares, so Pixel was my first successful experiment.
2) Latest official firmware for our device is TOS v2.1 which can be found in appropriative thread here. Seems no more updates will be released for our device.
3) Restoring function is bad idea esp on custom ROM. You should always make clean installation.
4) Custom ROMs can only boot with root access (e.g. Magisk). You cant uninstall it. In other case your device wont boot (Android 7.0 classical issue). P.S Magisk is not like "classic" root, so you can "hide" it for apps that don't work on rooted device.
5) Of course stock ROM includes Gapps. All made changes are listed in topic. Root can'f be removed on any custom ROM (see p.4).

Thank you!
I gave the tablet to my son, the Stock ROM that came on it is'nt good and so I put the ASUS ZenUI ROM. (After testing all others)
I hide Magisk and the ROM is working perfectly.
Thank you so much for the great work.
Happy 2020.

Your device is old, even if ROMs were built for that device at someone point, those ROMs would have been built years ago and probably would not be available anymore because the download locations/links have not been maintained, no one keeps stuff around that long.
First, to flash custom ROMs, you need a custom recovery.
I suggest you do a Google search for:
"TWRP for (your specific model number)"
If it exists" that will find it, if it doesn't exist, you'll have to give up the idea of using ROMs or you can build TWRP for yourself.
If you find or build TWRP, then so some Google searches for:
"Custom ROMs for (your specific model number here)"
Or
"Kit Kat for (your specific model number)"
Or
"Lollipop for (your specific model number)"
Or
"Marshmallow for (your specific model number)
If those searches don't find anything, that means there is nothing for your device. If you still want some kind of ROM, you'll have to build it yourself.

Lenovo Tab 2 A7-20 Development Thread

I bought this tab in mid 2015 and it is showing its age. Wanted to see whats available for the device but couldn't find anything on this device although there is thread for A7-30 variant here.
These Lenovo Tabs have many variants with minor differences such as A7-10, A7-20, A7-30 all 7' ones and the 8" ones have A8 in their names. I have the A7-20F (F stands for Wifi only version, there is another with SIM facility whose identifier I don't remember right now) so most of the testing I will do with be applicable to this one.
I'm collating all available resources here since info on this old device is hard to come by. Ff there is anyone else who would like to join and may find useful later on. I'm new to android hacking so this may be slow on progress.
P.S: Links may contain software which is not tested/not working/unofficial/unstable software. Do not flash them without any backup plans for recovery if something goes wrong. This is a work-in-progress thread.
Known Issues:
1. The tab is reported to have ghost touch issues. Many have reported on the official forums. I myself am facing the same problem. Ghost touches are reported around the top edges where I also am seeing on my tab. People have reported updating drivers resolve it. I use the Partial Screen app as a workaround for the time being.
2. Some people have reported that the stock Lollipop ROM for this device is buggy. Will stay with stock Kitkit for the time being.

Reserved for future use

Needed to upgrade my T2 A7 20f to Lollipop to continue running a specific app and tried a few different approaches with varying success. The CM12.1 ROM is under-done and full of problems and so is the T2 A7 10f stock ROM. There are screen rendering issues (poor quality) and battery charging issues. Seems that we really need to stick to a ROM based on the 20f to get decent functionality. After a lot of looking, found this link from Lenovo support:
A7-20F_USR_S000024_1605111428_MP1V1_BMAIN_ROW.rar
drive.google.com
This is version T2-A7-20F_USR_S000024_1605111428_MP1V1_BMAIN_ROW
ROW in China speak means Rest Of World i.e. not China version.
It downloads O.K and installs O.K using the included SPFlash tool.
Maybe useful to those still running this clunker?
Best if someone provides a more permanent home for this ROM before it disappears

Moto E22 - LineageOS20 vs Lineage

I just bought a Motorola Moto E22 and want to install a custom ROM to get rid of google stuff.
It seems Lineage does not support this phone yet, but I found this LineageOS22 guide which I have no idea it is reliable or if it has anything to do with the official Lineage project.
Any clarification or suggestions for alternative privacy respecting ROMs that work on Moto E22 would be much appreciated.

First of all, don't do these before completing 1 year of buying. You will lose warranty for unlocking bootloader.
Second thing is, if any official rom is not supported, you can definitely use unofficial version from xda. Developers try their best to fix issues with unofficial roms. If you don’t know if it’s reliable or not, read the comments to learn about bugs, issues and positive sides.
Don't be afraid of trying roms built for your model. Because by chance if you don’t find the rom good, you can revert back to stock rom using rescue & smart assistant tool (official software from lenovo/moto)
And before getting started, take note of your model number. Also you have to install device info hw app & click on system there. There you have to find what is your device called in developments. The name will be written beside "device" title (not sure). For example, my moto e5 is called nora in development.
N.B. Dont use any unofficial rom from outside of xda!

Privacy is a greater concern than warranty, so much so that I would have got the PinePhone if I could, but the best I can do is try to mitigate the damage made by stock android spyware and Motorola bloatware.
I'm more than willing to test unofficial roms, the problem is that there doesn't seem to be any available for my model here on xda, not even an official thread yet.
The LineageOS20 for Moto E22 link I found does seems a bit suspicious as there is nothing about it here on the forum.
