Blu Life One X2/ Mini - Development - Miscellaneous Android 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?
Best daraabi

X2 is dead.
Guide to restore to stock and add TWRP/root is here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77932487&postcount=6

Do You Know Of Something That A Developer Has Not Yet Done? Tell/Request It Here!

The request that you make is intended to be for the purpose of having a collection of development ideas from the amazing XDA community, all in one place. This will give developers a single place to go to get ideas, see what people are wanting, and possibly get involved in helping to build something. I will soon be looking for small development projects myself, just to gain experience and knowledge before I move on to my bigger personal projects. Other members are looking for projects at this very moment, both big and small. I hope that this will be a place where developers and members can all join together and share their ideas and talents!
So if you would like to see your idea become a reality in the future, then please post your request today (custom kernels, recoveries, ROM's, apps, Xposed modules, tweaks, scripts, .zip files, root, bootloader unlock, themes, mods, tools, etc., or something completely new)! Some things could be very quick and easy to develop. A script, Xposed module, etc., could be developed with very little work involved (sometimes). Replies from developers are not anticipated and they are not standing by to fulfill your every request (especially if you have that random device with no developer support anywhere, as in some cases the developer would need to have the same device as you do). Please remember that there is no guarantee that anyone will be able to develop the request that you have, or that it is even possible. Any modifications done to your device is done at your own risk, so please make a nandroid backup prior to any changes.
Here are a couple example requests. Remember that if you want your post to even be looked at seriously you must include plenty of details. Feel free to follow these examples to keep this thread clean and informative...​
Device: Sprint Galaxy S3 (ND8)
ROM: Latest CM 12.1 nightly (Android 5.1.1)
Rooted: Yes
Recovery: TWRP 2.8.7.0
Request: Silent mode for ringer volume
Reason: Volume goes to vibrate, but not all the way to silent like when I was on android 4.4.2. When I am in a meeting, vibrate mode is still audible in a quiet room
Other: Willing to donate $10 to a developer for a solution to this
Device: Sprint Galaxy S8
ROM: Stock (Android 7.0)
Rooted: No
Recovery: Stock recovery
Request: Looking for root
Reason: Many people are looking for a way to root this device and no one has been able to do it yet
Other: I would be very thankful if someone could find a solution to this. I do not have this device, but my sister does

1st
att htc m8. rooted. unlocked bootloader. superCID. twrp 2.8.7.0. firmware 4.16.401.10. hboot 3.19. currently running slim 4.4.4.
i would like[]STRIKE][love to see more security-oriented-built-roms (for all devices really).
something along the lines of tails/anonymousOS , unaROM , omni , etc.
there is a "pure" AOSP lolli rom which i consider a step forward and thank you to the dev and maintainer. if interested can find here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3208859
:thumbup: @Alberto97 , @Soham jambhekar , [MENTION=6484426]yeshwanthvshenoy , & @srisurya95.
am certainly no developer myself but could potentially "guiena pig" a test build.
thanks for reading.
thanks for a great idea for a thread.
"all i can really do is stay out of my own way and let the will of heaven be done"
ok @ everyone_else , i'm the only person with a request/idea in this great big freakin xda community ?
i think not.

Device: Sprint Galaxy S3 (ND8)
ROM: Latest CM 12.1 nightly (Android 5.1.1)
Rooted: Yes
Recovery: TWRP 2.8.7.0
Request: another app like Xblast...http://http://forum.xda-developers....d-xblasttools-quiethours-centerclock-t2294419
Reason: this was coolest app for customization, but less and less works on cm nightlies and i cant go back to kk. only a couple things work now and i finally gave up on it.
Other: i would donate a couple bucks if it was similar enough
Device: All devices using tapatalk
Request: Xposed module or something that will display signatures on xda
Reason: Many people using tapatalk always say to others, "i cant see ur sig. im using tapatalk. i feel like this could be solved by a module or something that auto enters it as reg text at the bottom of each post u make. although gifs and img may not work, at least it would be most of a sig showing
Other: i dont use tapatalk but this or something similar would be a neat project and maybe easy
Device: Any
Request: program that will show u who is watching ur items on ebay
Reason: it would be awesome to know who is watching utems so u can message them or make them an offer they cant refuse to sell quick! idk if its possible but it would be cool!

Not good. Someone understand spanish and read this Forum?
You need a wireless mouse, because of the not working touch. Your files can only be loaded from OTG device, flashdrive or something like this. I have no wireless mouse, thats why I can not try
You have to like the post or reply, then you get the download link.

Not very usefull this twrp but for root it is OK. Can someone load this File here or Link it? I have wireless mouse.
Hello...
This recovery is for the Y6 Max. Works only with the rom of December (needrom)
The TWRP is functional only with mouse. The touchscreen does not work, But otherwise it is fully functional.
With that you can already be root Installing the SuperSU zip
I also have a CyanogenMod rom, but the sound does not work through the speaker. I'm trying to fix it.
I understand Spanish. The recovery by Feligres(NAT) was ported from Doogee Y6. It was updated on Saturday 14th January.
Update- sorry, I see now that Feligres himself has just answered the question!

Is it possible to get touch working twrp from you ? It works for root and backup at home, but **** happens most when we are outside and dont have otg cabel and wireless mouse in the pocket...
There is a new Cyanogenmod recovery for Y6 Max in needrom.com. Has anybody tried it?
Yes, perfectly working :thumbup:

So I recently got this phone and my first concern with is that the stock rom that came with the phone is very meh. Also I am wondering if the phone will get any android upgrades?
The 7th release of android is a huge leap in both performance, memory management and more.
It does appear DOOGEE is fairly active in rolling out ROM updates and fixes for the y6 max
We need to convince them of the merits of providing hardware running AOSP with TWRP
Most critically they need to update Thier ROM with settings access to customize APN

Interesting.
Reading through here, they "claim" they will provide android 7 for the phone. I would be very happy with that.
Also they need to seriously give out driver info and so on about the hardware we have. The CPU and GPU on this phone is decent enough but there needs some improvement and I am sure the community can help if they just provide info.

Well , if it's working, that would be a big news! You should open a dedicated thread here if you are the porter:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mediapad-x2/development
describing the source used, the install ways, the known bugs, and the test needed (in english)
thanks
My English is very bad. I can briefly describe how I did it. I took CM13 from Honor 7. Installed on my device.
Works: communication, wifi , gps , bluetooth
The camera is not working . Double tap
Installation requirements:
1 on the phone should stand 6 android no matter what location
2 installed twrp
Installation
1 will be loaded into twrp
2 make backup of your firmware
3 in twrp make wipe date factori reset
4 Flash the archive with firmware
5 if you need gappsy then we sew an archive with them
6 Root is getting a firmware file with super su
7 Loading in the system and going through the initial settings
8 Play market will offer to update super su to the current versionWe update at will and after updating also update binary files
Download
Unofficial_CM13_Port for X2.zip
open_gapps-arm64-6.0-pico-20170309.zip
SuperSU_v2_71.zip
video
thanks for quick reply. So the known bugs are:
- Camera does not work
- double tap does not work
that's it?
Hope other people here will test!
Nice idea to port it anyway, thanks again
once again you should open up a dedicated thread in X2 android developement forum.:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mediapad-x2/development
(do you want me to open it?)
you might have a lot of people interested!

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.

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.

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.

[CHAT] HD10 (2017) - custom ROM brainstorming:

With HD10 (2017) unlock/TWRP available - link (thanks to @k4y0z!!!), the next natural question is a custom ROM. The subject may turn out to be slightly trickier than what appears at first sight.
Let's have a discussion thread to brainstorm on this and not wonder off-topic in other places.
I had seen @DragonFire1024 & @Rortiz2 tried to work on that, so feel free to chime in as necessary.
What we have:
HD10 (2017) chipset - MT8173 (2+2 cores), there is an beefier brother to it, MT8176 (2+4 cores). For most practical purposes both chipsets seem almost identical software-wise.
MT8173 was introduced in March 2015 (time of Lollipop domination - Android 5). MT8176 was introduced in October 2016 (getting toward Nougat - Android 7).
The efforts up to date on a custom ROM for this chipset appear to be by @Goayandi, who is still active on XDA, so his work could be used a starting point. I believe @Goayandi was working on Android 7 (Nougat). Here are some of the original links:
XDA : Mediatek MT8173 & MT8176 development
Reddit: Mediatek MT8173 & MT8176 development
Stuff from Amazon for MT8173 (both HD10 2017 and FireTV2) is Lollipop-vintage (Android 5), other devices with these chipsets seem to have reached Nougat (Android 7). It does not appear that there is any known MT8173/MT8176 device with Android 8, or 9 (or is there?). It seems that @diplomatic has an Asus like this with Nougat.
At the moment, it feels a a Nougat custom ROM might be the ceiling for the device, given the difficulties of finding proprietary pieces for MTK chipsets to get Android 8 or 9 going. Now, even Android 7 is still a bit of a challenge, given limited prior success.
More thoughts/ideas? Feel free to fill this thread with random thoughts as much as you want - that's what it's for!!!
I'm really looking forward to an AOSP experience on this tablet, to be honest. Can't wait to see what they come up with!

As long as I can set up everything properly I'm ready to go. I've managed to get past script issues I think. I can get it to flash and it boots to the orange fire logo and sits for eternity. This was the same result pre and post TWRP. So at this point it's probably the installation and improper setup of the tree and files. If someone can point me to a guide or give me instructions on how to add support to my AOSP working directory, that would be great. This bit of the leg work is hard as there really aren't any guides that are detailed enough or that work anymore.
Secondly, I think if we are going to use a kernel, we either use the 7.0 source, or just use the kit I have to build our own. Amazon cherry picked the crap out of the kernel practically to the bare bones, so I think expanding from it is just a waste of time, especially since we have the kit that does a lot of the work for us, including providing signatures and the tools to sign etc.

I wouldn't mind even if the best ROM available is a 6.0 Marshmallow one. Anything that gives AOSP on a stable base for the Fire HD10 is going to be awesome.

So did you end up successfully unbricking your device?
I did share working amazon kernel sources in the HD-10 Unlock thread.
They worked well in my tree to compile TWRP.

Sorry for being out of the loop - were those kernel sources for Lollipop? Or does it even matter at all - meaning they would be good to go with newer Android versions as well.
Could you link to those posts in here?

They will likely need some patches to work with newer versions, but it's a good start I'd say.
It's the most recent version amazon has published.

I am working on it as we speak. I downloaded the zip from the second post in this thread, 1.1. extracted and ran sudo ./bootrom-step.sh. said it can't find build/payload directory it doesn't exist. So I assume I use that folder from the other unbricking thread copy it to yours? Assuming its a yes to that question, I keep getting the serial port errors. I also had to delete a setting in udev (this was my own addition to it) and rebooted PC. Now I am having a cigarette. When I do it again, if I still get serial port errors, time to try each of the 8 or 10 other ports on the PC.

Hi bibikalka,
Very good idea this thread.
What you can do, is to port a port a ROM of another MT8173 tablet to the FIRE HD10 2017.
This works and I have tested it on my BQ Aquaris M8 (MT8163) it has a similar MTK so I guess it will work. I have ported for example a ROM of an asus zenpad that uses MT8163 and at least the rom boots.
BTW: Oreo on MT8176: https://www.xda-developers.com/alldocube-x-10-5-inch-android-8-1-oreo/

But these aren't amazon sources are they?
They probably are missing some drivers then.
But if they are for mt8173 they could be used as a source to patch the amazon-sources.

Excellent find! Here is a review link:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ge...ldocube-x-review-media-playback-king-t3902539
Alldocube X kind of has 2x of everything compared to HD10 2017, but at 2x price I wonder how fast Oreo would be on HD10 and if 2Gb of RAM would cut it. But this is definitely the device to copy if one wants latest and greatest!

I will try to port lineage 15.1 but the safest thing is that it will not work.
I have also ported an AOSP Rom for anyone who wants to try it. Tomorrow I will give more info.

Alright, we have both an eager developer, and a tester!!! Just remember, avoid bricking !
Very recently (March 2019) @wangyiling seems to have put together a LineageOS 15.1 ROM for MT8173/8176 - link, so hopefully we can re-purpose that for HD10. It's great to have an active developer elsewhere looking at the same thing!
It feels that if there is at least something that boots the kernel, it'd be a huge step forward.

If my testing on ROMs caused my brick, we have to be careful. I've been testing and flashing test ROMs for months now and never bricked like this. I think I may know what happened and if I'm right, I'm not sure what effect if any this will have on flashing a rom. According to the fstab.mt8173 file in the root directory, the partitions we flash for a rom, aren't part of the EMMC: data, system, cache are all ext4. All other partitions are however EMMC. So if I recall correctly, I did list the system as EMMC in the build script, but did intend to remove it. I made a last minute adjustment to the script and didn't change that part though.

AOSP ROM TEST 1 (suez)
Ok guys so here's the first test for the AOSP ROM.
First of all, I am not responsible for bricked devices. It is you who decides to try the ROM without knowing if it will work because it is a TEST.
DOWNLOAD: Removed
INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS:
- Boot TWRP
- Make NANDROID BACKUP
- Make wipes
- Format data
- Install ROM
- Reboot
Please. If the installation fails, send the errors and if the ROM starts, comment on the bugs.
Regards!

Which AOSP version is this? Could you try that Oreo Lineage stuff from @wangyiling at some point as well?
One of these days we'll have a ROM developer and a tester within the same person Too bad we've lost @DragonFire1024 since his tablet got bricked
