Blu Pure XL alternate rom - Blu Pure XL

Hi folks, I was able to flash the Elephone Vowney rom into my Blu Pure XL.
Rom is running smoothly, just need to fix RIL and some other libs that I imagine can be copied from BLU PXL original rom or the V19 update.
Anyone willing to help, please reply to this thread as I was already fed with the excessive bloat on the original rom, I used the Allview X2Xtreme rom too but I really dislike all the ¨Amigo¨stuff that the rom includes and it consumes excessive quantity of RAM.
Things that work out of the box:
Wifi
Bluetooth
Touch
Display
on screen buttons
Broken:
Cameras work but back camera is blurry and front cam is greenish
hw buttons > back button and home work, multitasking doesn´t
sim cards are both read but no signal
Sound is broken
pictures attached

I would love to help but I'm not experienced in anything DEV

Why don't you try letv 1s custom roms ? its the same chipset.

Same chipset does not mean same bootloader or same libs, drivers, modem, etc. If the dev world were that easy then most Blu Pure XL owners would just use any rom available out there for Helio X10 aka mt6795 chipset.
I dont own the device anymore, I moved on from this...

Rooting chinese One X/S copy .. ?

Im able to get my hands on this:
http://android-sale.com/hdc-one-x-android-phone.html
And I pretty much have one question to determine the purchase - would it root .. ? I guess that Superoneclick would do the job, presuming that chinese people are giving USB drivers with the device, but I would like to hear from someone who maybe already tried it. Does anybody even have the device .. ?
Hi I got the other version MTK6577 dual sim 480*854 px 4GB ROM. It's already been root using the method shown here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1847136
Con:
- camera is 5MP (burst to 8MP), very cheap flash
- GPU is overclocked (eat battery a lot while playing games)
- battery quickly get hot and depleted (need to tweak juice defender for optimal use)
- no HD video recording
- digitizer is plastic
- low signal/wifi reception
Hey,
I think with these Chinese ripoffs, you are likely to have quite a few issues.
- Little support from XDA as not many would have it
- Not that reliable as it has to cut back somewhere
- No professional judgement seeing as no one has experience with it.
I would not recommend getting them.
Anyway, they usually run some sort of stock android with a pathetic overlay so I think that you will be able to root.
Thanks
Hit thanks if you found this useful.

[Q] Camera on Cyanogenmod 12 Unofficial beta 6

I´ve been testing CM12 beta 6 for 3 days and it´s great. Is the first time I install a custom ROM on a Sony Xperia device so everything is new for me in this device and the first complain about this is camera.. On stock the camara was ok for a 8MP device, very similar to my S4 Active(8mp). But now without the stock ROM the camera is terrible, very noisy in good light or low light. I´ve tried to improve the quality modifying the "build.prop" and "media_profiles" into system. But is not even near to stock. I know Sony has some drivers for the camera and some DRM in the TA partition, but by this moment my 5 years old HTC HD2 with 5MP is taking much better photos, the S4 Active I have also with CM12 is taking soo much better pictures and I think is the same or similar hardware 8MP.
Are some tricks for improve camera quality that I didn´t hear about Xperias devices?
Is this just with CM12 or with any Custom ROM?
Can I do something to improve my camera quality?

I know is just a beta yet, but before I Flashed that, I Flahsed LiquidSmooth 4.4.4 and the camera was the same, of course was more stable ROM but camera quality was the same. Too much blurry like if the lense was dirty compared to stock 4.2.2. I think it´s maybe because of the DRMs into the TA partition, same story with Xperia Z3 and others Xperias devices, so I want to know if there is any trick to improve camera quality to be similar to stock 4.2.2 o it´s imposible to do that.
someone says that varun is working on a new camera hal that maybe improve camera, we have a dead 4.2.2 device upgraded to 5.0.2 with near full completity (only need some fixes with framework, kernel modules like bluetooth modules and then the best part, battery improvements and performance, what at the moment without too much as kk have is a lot better than kk )
Camera stopped unexpectedly
Hi guys. I am really lost on what to do after flashing my C2105 with CM12 Beta 6. When i change the settings on Camera, everything can be done with the exception of when i try to change the resolution of the video from 720P to QVGA or the other one. I wanted to change to a smaller resolution so that the video won't be too large for sending through whatsapp. But when i press on QVGA, the camera has stopped unexpectedly. And i will have to clear data and cache and reset the settings again. Unluckily, the resolution still can't be changed :/ Ayone has the same problem or solution?

Does anyone have any experience with vkworld phones?
I ask because I have ordered Ulefone Be Touch 2 three weeks ago and have many concerns about it, the biggest being cheating about the android version.
Since my phone is not yet shipped I was thinking to maybe cancel the order and buy this phone instead. There is a 2GB RAM version, the screen is 720p, it has no fingerprint sensor but the battery is supposedly extremely good (6050 mAh), it claims to have Android 5.1, both SIM slots are 4G-capable and the manufacturer seems to be more serious and established, at least that's the impression I've got.
Has anyone else on this forum ever had a phone from this company and if so, would you recommend it?
Thanks.
I have one on order (the S model). Looking forward to it. It looks very similar to the Bluboo x550 and the iNew L4. I have experience with both.
First thoughts
Ok. I have mine now and have been using it for the last 24 hours.
Background: I have the following chinese phone:
Ecoo E04 3GB
iOcean M6752
Ulefone Be Touch 2
In addition to the above, my teenage son has had the Bluboo X550 which had to be sent back as the sd card reader stopped working. This was replaced with the iNew L4 and the sd card reader just started to display intermittent problems.
The VK6050s looks to be a very similar build to the Bluboo and the iNew with a few cosmetic differences. The configuration of the Sim cards and the SD card are exactly the same - as is the look of the battery albeit the VK6050s claims to be 6050mah, the Bluboo 5300mah and the iNew 5000mah. The vk6050s has 2GB memory compared with the iNew which only has 1GB of ram.
The vk6050s has partitioned it's internal storage into 2 whereas both the other phones make all of the storage available in a single partition.
I have been very impressed with the phone so far. The display is excellent and coming from 5.5" displays with 1080p my eyes can not tell the difference between them and the 720p display on the vk6050s. The ROM is smooth and appears fast (probably helped by the 2GB memory).
I have been able to root the phone. I used the same trick that I had on the Bluboo and the iNew: use KingRoot apk and then use the Replace_Kinguser_with_SuperSU-v1.8 script.
The phone also accepts my 128gb external SD with no issues.
The really good news is that the firmware for the phone can be downloaded from vkworld's website so you can have a play with root etc and still know that you can always go back to the original firmware if it all goes wrong. iNew have yet to publish their firmware.
I have also been able to successfully install the TWRP recovery that was made for the Bluboo (and is available over at needrom.com). It has let me make a backup (although I have not yet tried restoring it). It also let me flash the viper4android zip.
I do worry that it may end up suffering from the same SD card issues that the other 2 phones have. This issue appeared after a week or so. I am keeping everything crossed.
I hope this may be useful to somebody.
i think i will buy this phone insteat of bluboo x550
could anyone test its battery if its real 6050 mah or its just around 5000 like Bluebo ???
i want to buy innos d6000 but its a bit expensive. i only care about battery. if vk6050s has the same battery performance i could buy it.
10 days later and it is still going strong. This is my favourite china phone so far and I have had
Ecoo E04
iOcean M6752
Bluboo X550
iNew L4
Mlais MX Base
Ulefone Be Touch 2
Can you post some camera samples?
Is it any good?
8mpx interpolated to 13mpx?

Nice
From video reviews, seems like enabling the gesture features warns that it will consume more batteries
Does it really effect the battery life by much?
I'm interested too.

I will try and take some decent photo samples and post. I have no way of telling whether the camera is interpolated or not. I googled and couldn't find anything that tells you how to identify the sensor. If you know of how to do this then I am happy to try. I know it is an Omnivison which is pretty typical for this price point. from my experience so far I am very happy with the results.

I don't bother using the gestures. I can tell that they work as I have tested them. You've got to think that it will have an effect on the battery as I imagine there is a wakelock at play when using gestures so that the phone is looking out for them, but to be honest, isn't that the beauty of having a phone with a massive battery? You don't have to worry so much about all of the little tweaks like switching off notifications, location settings etc just to squeeze every last bit of power out of it. You can just use th ephone as it' smeant to be used without over worrying about whether it's going to last you the day or not.

I'm aware of that, just interested to know if it has some minimal effect to the battery life.
On oneplus one I only enabled gesture option for double to wake and camera while the rest are disabled and battery life is still nice with no noticeable battery drain.

Hi, were you able to use xposed tweaks on this?
Since you'll need a custom recovery like TWRP to flash the xposed zip file.
Couldn't find an exposed that would install. The 5.1 is actually a 32bit version even though the soc is 64bit.

I wonder how does that work.
So the problem is similar to bluboo x550 then with some users reporting flashing xposed file resulting in bootloop?
Based on this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/super-alpha-posted-permission-xposed-t3072979
Should we flash the arm zip file or arm64?

No /system/lib64 folder or /system/bin/linker64??
Is this ROM uploaded any where?
Anyway - zip to resize userdata/intsd can be found here - if someone with a VK6050S wants to test.

Correct. Neither of those folders or files are present.
Funnily enough I used that same zip to resize the internal partition on another phone the other day and it worked very well. I'm not keen to test it out on the vk6050s yet as I have everything set up as I want it and don't 100% trust the twrp recovery as it was made for the bluboo. I know it works for flashing a zip and have made a backup but have not tried to restore yet.
Also, from what I understand, once the internal partition. Has been resized then you can't do OTA updates. I would rather wait a while to see whether there are any to come.
Besides, I still have over 1gb of internal storage left AND under storage settings it let's you state where you would like new apps to be installed: internal storage, phone storage or SD card.
On a side note, the 2gb of RAM is showing as having 1.3gb still free (with no apps open other than the chrome). Compare this with the ulefone be touch 2 wherr approx 1.9 GB of the 3gb RAM was taken up by the operating system alone. This give you some indication of how well the firmware has been optimised.

Not a problem - I had forgotten about OTA's I'm not 100% sure how they work in terms of the stock recovery but I think the scatter.txt in the OTA's are important - changing this to the new layout should let them install..
Are you sure you can choose where apps are installed directly? It's not just the /sdcard (Android/data; Android/obb etc.) that you are choosing.
Yea 1.3GB free out of 2GB is what I get with 5.0 ROMs (64bit) - Ulefone must be doing something wierd to be usig 1.9GB (swap/zram perhaps??)

Yea, I have that as well - on mine that is just the /sdcard - I still need to manually move apps to external sdcard.
If it is automatic to external then I think typically it's installed to internal first then moved to external so you might find that when you get to ~400MB free internal space you won't be able to install anything else.

hello, i'm alex from italy. i ordered the bluboo.... did i make the wrong choice?
i compared other phones...but i thought the bluboo own the best features..... for example ulefone be touch 2 has BUG BEZELS and higher price, inew only 1gb...
The only one competitor was the VK6050s ( S variant with 2gb) but i thought that the claimed 6000mah was fake and similar to bluboo 5300mah, bluboo calims that they used a BRANDED battery from "amprius". so i would trust more in the true 5300mah instead the 6000mah not sure to be true.
just to say... i've found a new phone, the NEXODUS ZEN which has 2gb ram, 6 inch hd display........ it's really low priced but it uses MTK6589T and android 4.2 but maybe it's more STABLE than a new release 5.1 still not fully known by chinese manufacturer.......

[Completed] LG G4 with CM14 | 7.1 - Camera is way to slow on normal exposure

Hey guys,
I have a problem with my camera on the LG G4. Note: The Snapdragon Camera is flashed on the device but I tested different apps too. The camera was pretty good on stock and worked well. The internal/selfie camera is still fast and works fine but the external camera / back camera is way to sloppy. While trying to take a photo with apps like Instagram, the Google Photo Scanner or Google Camera / Snapdragon Camera it seems to use the wrong exposure times.
Even while taking a photo of a person in front of a white wall being in room light it's lagging pretty hard and everything is sloppy and slow. Taking good photos is really hard this way. Only when I focus on a TV / Computer Screen it's running fine since the exposure and ISO timing is automatically changed to the correct values. When I move away from the Screen again, it's getting slow and sloppy again.
Anyone had something similar with Cynanogen Mod? I also had the issue with my Nexus 6 before which was really annoying. I don't know if I do something wrong while flashing, but I can't find out whats wrong. I tested the same enviroments with my girlfriends unflashed Huawai P9 and her phone is just running fine without problems. I would use stock software but I really hate all the bloatware and modified Android versions they bring in.
Everything else works fine and the phone overall has a good performance. The issue was already existing with CM13 too. Maybe some driver being installed wrong?
Thank you very much. If you need more informations just tell me so I can give you more infos.

Greetings and welcome to assist. You really need to ask this in the rom thread, it is quite a common issue when using cm based roms for there to be camera issues.

General Opinion about (Unofficial) Pixel Experience Plus for Veux/Peux

This is my first time using a pixel experience rom infact it's also my first time using any Android 12 rom and it's also my first time using an AOSP based rom, so please bare with me if I look absolutely stupid (i already apologize for that)
Just flashed the unofficial pixel experience plus on my poco X4 pro
here are some stuff i like and don't like about the rom
I flashed it using adb sideload with lineage unoffical recovery for the device
Before anyone asks yes it also works for the Redmi Note 11 Pro+ 5G (Since when did naming phones become similiar to writing a dictionary?)
This build of pixel experience plus uses the perf kernel which is somewhat okay for performance
Rooting - Rooting a pixel experience rom or any GSI rom is harder than rooting Miui roms but i guess for you guys it's not that hard...
Performance - I'm sorry but for some reason I could not get Antutu Bench Mark to run on the device with pixel experience installed
Everytime I tried to install the Antutu benchmark 3d apk it would give me an apk parsing error I've tried rebooting several times but cannot find a solution yet
Miui Eu used to give me around 360k - 390k
Though I could not get Antutu Benchmark to run on the device i can definitely feel it being much smoother and by using an fps meter in high demanding games such as cod mobile i can see a difference in fps
For some reason no fps unlocker could unlock 120 fps for cod mobile on miui but somehow it works on the pixel experience plus
Also with pixel experience plus you can set CPU Freq and GPU Freq to max without it reverting back just like Miui (I do not recommend doing this as it is not good for the processor)
UI - This is obvious but Pixel Experience Plus is much much better, the animations are smooth the full screen gestures have no problems
Battery Backup - Yeah unfortunately it's worser than Miui but not by a crazy margin
Fast Charging - This is where pixel experience plus lags behind the fast charging isn't as fast as it was on Miui
Touch Issues - This is a very rare occurance but there are ghost touches occuring especially when the phone is left in idle state with screen on for some time
Sound Quality - Noticeably worser than Miui sadly...
Bloatware - very few like chrome (some people like chrome being installed though but i personally use brave browser) but you can easily remove it by the several methods u can find on the forum or through YouTube
Camera - it comes installed with Gcam Go and the photo quality is good but you should probably use Gcam itself
Proximity Sensor - Broken, phone screen stays on during calls
Bluetooth calling: Broken, causes phone to crash
Data/Wifi Connectivity - I can feel my wifi being a little bit slower on this device compared to my other but it could just be a me thing
SafetyNet - Passes by default
Overall - Great if you don't like heavy customisations, raw performance, a little bit slower charging (which is actually good for your battery) and material you theming
What do I miss from Miui?
Game Turbo - Although Pixel Experience Plus has a game mode inbuilt it's no way as good as Miui Game Turbo
Floating Windows - I guess there is no beating Miui when it comes to Floating Windows...
Would appreciate if anyone knows any kind of fixes to my problems mentioned above...

Oh yeah was unable to test those but I'm gonna add them thanks
How is the camera resolution in gcam /pixel expirience ? In miui I never get more then 12mp, never the 108mp like with the original cam
I'm using Pixel Experience 13, and the camera takes 12.0MP 3000x4000 resolution.
Is the proximity sensor still broken even now in 2023?
@BR4UTAL do you plan any further releases, as the official ROM has still no updates yet? I think many of us users of this phone are desperate for a stable release plan. Maybe you can connect to the official maintainer and share your work via the PE offical channels.
For now great work so far....
