Hello guys,
After reading lot of reviews I have changed my mind from buying Htc 816 to gionee mobiles. Around my budget and requirement I found gionee e7 mini a best suitable for me.
What I need to ask is about it's 1gb RAM. According to me it should be enough. I am not a hard core gamer. Infact my current phone don't have enough memory to run any of most games so I have been away from gaming since last couple of years. What I mostly use it for surfing, calling, watsapp,etc.
So is e 7 mini sufficient for these activities?
Also what is overall feedback about Gionee as a so called "Chinese" company. When Micromax's Canvas series was out, I read lot of god reviews but after few months it was turn table. So I don't want to regret by going after a Chinese brand. Your suggestions are more valuable!
Finally my baby is in my hands now!!! Took a long while to make this decision and Just hope it will not disappoint me!!
1st impression: wow! whatta master piece!! Looks a lot premium and once can hardly guess it's a Chinese mobile. I guess they are redefining the "Chinese mobile tag".
Most impressive thing to mention, they have service centers in almost each district on Maharashtra and I never expected this! Just fingers crossed and I will update my experience on this thread with my elife e7 mini
if you are into flashing custom roms or want updates, dont expect any. good luck.

Updates for S5.5 is coming later this month or early next month, so to say don't expect updates is not correct.

They have been coming for 3 months now.. It's almost time for the next Android version and we are still stuck on a version 2 and a half years old..
Not to mention all the custom roms and kernels that we have.. Thanks to them releasing the kernel sources..
Moreover they just released 4.3 for the lte version of e7 now. When they promised 4.4..

OK. I wasn't aware of the updates or promised updates for E7 but I have heard from a very reliable source that update for 5.5 is coming on 27th. He gave me a very specific date but I still take 2 weeks plus/minus.

You gotta start understanding sarcasm mate!
And no.. It was quite useless.. It has the msm8974pro.. I don't think we can use it.. It did boot up once though.. But nothing much was working.. Extremely laggy. Probably it was clocked at 2.5GHz.. Not sure.. Needs more work nonetheless..

Hi ,I have updated my e7 mini to kitkat too..But the weather app doesn't update the temp for me.
Also sometimes I receive a message and when I open it from notification it's gone.
I also feel the battery back up has decreased a bit after kitkat update.Have u faced any of the issues.
It's surprising for such a great phone there are almost no users/developers on xda
Thanks

Hi,
Have you checked weather app settings? There is an option you need to turn on called "automatic update". it's working fine with me.
Also I have noticed improved battery backup. I am not sure what is wrong with your device.
Well yes, I too have the notification bug. It shows "unread count" even if there are no new unread SMSs. I asked to their service center and they said it's "operator's issue. not ours" lolz! dumbass!!
Anyways I am working on a custom ROM and soon it will be available here.

Yea I turned on the automatic update..Now it's updating.But compared to other weather apps it really shows different temp..Anyway it doesn't matter..I think for a few days my battery drain was kinda unpredictable or sometimes it would come down rapily all of a sudden..But now I think it's way better ..No compaints [email protected] issue..It's definitely a bug.Even Gionee India tweeted they were aware of this issue..It's a great phone.Really sad to see almost no developers on XDA...At least we have you ..Also are you able to root after Kitkat update?
Hi,
I found a temporary solution for the message bug.
1.Go to settings>> apps
2.Roll over to "All apps" tab
3.Find Novi launcher>> clear data
4.Find messaging app>> clear data
5.Reboot your device.
##########Caution ##########
By clearing the data of Novi launcher, all folders you have created will be gone and you will see all of your apps scattered. So you have to take the pain to re categories them.
By clearing data of messaging app, all settings will be restored. You have to again customize them according to you.
###########################
Though this is not a permanent solution, still you can get rid off that irritating message count notification.

Adwait

omg awesome
Try it. You will be blown away. Videos On youtube do it no justice.
Latest version, and official ROM is so good. Why don't you guys try it
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Or-9T44Bt7M
Shouldn't this be in the general forum if you're not actually developing it?
Yeah Im just posting the news. Never been to the general forum part sorry and I didnt know.
Just wanted to fill people in!
So yes it should be moved to the SGS2 General forum
The link to the ROM you posted was from July 9th...
Anyways, moving this to General.
The link is to the miuiandroid build, from the 21st, and that is not official?? I don't believe they are releasing the official until another 2 hours or so?

I used to wonder the same myself. To me it just looked like Android with an iPhone interface.
However I tried it and found things like...
toggles in the notification screen (configurable)
battery stats that go into a LOT of detail (configurable)
full skinning that allows you to mix and match theme elements on the fly (configurable)
built in call/sms firewall (configurable)
built in application security w/password (configurable)
They're just off the top of my head. There's so much more that it does above and beyond regular Android. Other than the configurable toggles in the notification screen (swipe left/right from notifications to get to a full screen of toggles) I've not seen anything that you can't do with apps, but it's all there and all works together.
Also, in my opinion it has the best browser available for Android.
There's more, but I guess you're getting that it's very configurable

this is the link to the download. but MIUI said on their fb they are uploading one by one and as of now the rom for s2 is still not up... =) fortunately i know a bit of chinese.
its been there since coupla weeks if am not wrong. and yeah they have weekly releases.
as far the MIUI port and builds out for SGS2 , I have tried a few and the general thing is battery life is not as good as sammy ROMs, battery stats are totally wrong (its a known issue). FM and Bluetooth work now.

You just got thanked! (accidentally)
The official rom is being released as we speak on the Chinese miui website... But that's in Chinese so we will all have to wait a day or 2 until miuiandroid translate it into english... But yes this is official support, and hopefully fixes alot compared to the .21 release...
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
The webiste is showing the S2 development rom for download. Only problem is, it doesnt give any info on installing this rom!
Does it have to be flashed via Odin?
ZIP placed on SD and Installed via CWM?
Do we Wipe any of the cache's?
Is data stored or everything deleted?
Anybody got the answer to these questions?

Write again in new thread,maybe this time they will add Mike to CM 7 team,and our device to official CM7 list.
i updated my thread, also everyone, please share that thread everywhere you can, we need as much support as possible, we need to get attention
BUMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
on cm forum some moderator asked to call some dev's to leave replay i asked mike and he sad :
Michał Gapinski
I don't want to do it
TBH, CyanogenMOD team seems to be a bunch of HTC fanboys.
I have contacted them via CM forums a year ago and none of the admins replied
Im kinda agree with what the mod said, our phone is kinda oldie, most of us are thinking on changin our phones this year! or anything! + we got plenty of stable roms that we can actually use as daily and main ones, all we need is developers, not the CM team support as well! And im not saying I disagree, cause i'd love the CM support, more complete roms or anything, but its a waste of time and maybe resources for a phone thats obsolete, plus, we're actually thinking on changing (must of us) even if we love it (I do love it)! Instead of asking CM support we should find dev's or learn and practice with it
not to burst ur bubble but they already said no to mike

yes p500 got it because they have more users & devs and official 2.3
Really, GT540 will be dead soon I think. Mike got new Xperia NeoV, pcfighter don't release anything now too, Mur4ik left long time ago, Wingrime is still active, but releases are just from time to time, something still need to be done. DevSwift has Desire S, so Swift is his 2nd phone, which he don't care about that much.
Many others also changed phone, swift became less active than like 2-3 months ago.
Well, I'm currently trying to develop, and if I can get my fastboot to work, I'm going to make ROM's, so there is hope I'm trying to port a ROM from the p500, you may guess which one!

Hi guys,
Just a little refresher in case people didn't know about my HTC Desire HD ROMs list.
It has been going for over 2 years now and I've noticed recently that there's still quite a bit of development, so some of you who don't know about it might find it useful.
It's regularly updated.
In case it helps.
Thanks

nice work on the list. thanks!
tried a few of them. i can say taktik 4.4.2 is the most stable in my personal opinion and experience.
sony xperia kat ui is so buggy.
running cm11s one plus edition m9 now. can report bug on the es file manager so far. everything else seem to work ok.
is there an updated version of CWM recovery touch? cos im running the philz version rite now...

update your recovery to 4EXT (4ext Recovery) or TWRP ([URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2780164" ]TWRP[/URL]) and you will able to flash kitkat rom.
sorry for posting again. would it be a good or bad idea to include the year as well, together with the day and month for each of the releases. easier to track or sort them up by release date in my opinion. cheers

That's a good idea. Depending on the length of the ROM names, if I shorten them a little - I can add the year.
You're right, it will make it easier now. I'll give it a shot this weekend..

No chinese smartphone vendor releases their source..only big brands releases their sources...like samsung,sony...it will take some time for gionee to make up their mind..i hop otherwise the E7 is great device..sure it has changed the thought of china device of some ppl atleast me
wht chng ur mind?
bro e7 hs a very imprsv hardware...
bt without devlopers support why we need that?
do u think we will hv a lot developers support for e7?
will gionee release kernel ?
My opinion
Brother, if gionee keeps it secret of kernels. Then how can we develop the custom roms it's having great hardware but poor software, the kit Kat is lot smoother than 4.2.2 everyone wants to have their hands on new versions . on the other hand many cheaper phones than e7 are having 4.4.2. Whose interface is far more better than the stupid amigo in which you can't even arrange the icons according to the name. No home button, laggy ui it's better to go for a small device with kit Kat which has smooth interface cod people rearly use cam and ram for games. I wish to see kit Kat on this device, I Adm planning to get one plus from Dubai by seeking this device
This device is like a Ferrari at the speed of 60 kmph , max speed
so there is no possibility to get kernel from gionee?

It looks grim right now.. And it's quite impossible to build a working kernel without proper sources.
Update: I just contacted the pr of Gionee and he replied with a far better attitude than I had expected! He was more than willing to help. He said he will talk to the China team and get back to me. Well, considering the little email exchange that we had, I am pretty sure we have good stuff coming..

Kinda disappointed in buying this phone looking at the hardware i thought reglardless of companies ****ty update policy i would atleast get custom roms which seems not tbe be the case any more.
When i can source a O+O im jumping ship and dumping this piece of ****.

just to make it a little clear here, it not for them to decide to whether to release the kernel source or not. It comes under the GPL license and they MUST release it. and I am pretty sure whoever you talked to simply has no idea what kernel is or what we are talking about. its quite hopeless to talk to them. they are like pre configured answering machines. they know nothing, they understand nothing, they just have standard replies.
I know its mandatory for them to release.
But they don't do it not sure who can enforce it, in all honestly i have no idea why google give licences to ****ty oem's who dont follow the 18 month update policy and not release kernel sources.

I don't know if they change their plans about the update of xperia z3 and z2 (they will be update first...according by Sony ) but i think we have a good information now link here:http://www.androidworld.it/2015/01/30/sony-italia-conferma-aggiornamento-lollipop-270760/ sorry for the english

Someone have seen any builds for Z and Z1?

That sounds great! Thanks for the glad tidings
So, this means very soon, good news!
Sadly it looks like we are getting the 5.0 version which had some bugs & glitches instead of 5.0.1 or 5.0.2

That doesn't mean that it won't get updated to 5.0.2
Also, if that is true, im surprised because wouldn't it be easier for sony to release 5.0.2 straight away instead of going to 5.0 first?
We should get 5.0.2. So, if we wouldn't wait longer, we had 5.0 allready.

No, we probably getting 5.0.2(or 5.0.1)... infact in official site of sony , they don't say we have android 4.4.4 in xperia z2 or z3...but android 4.4 kitkat(and the differecence between 4.4 and 4.4.4 are important). They put a generic version... but the update is probably last And if it is really android 5.0...they're always work hard to make a very stable firmware..they can make a really good firmware with 5.0 base too..it explains the lot of time to roll out the firmware and android lollipop from the base is very buggy.... samsung galaxy s5 for example have android 5.0 base for the last firmware...but is more bugless than a nexus flagship with android 5.0.1

Well no way, always full of bugs if they bring always as 1st the update and if i want to have a Samsung then i go to the toyshop and buy a phone for babies what is similar to Samsung

Again a comparison against 2 different devices, a good friend of mine had an S4 and update and that phone was totally dead and wont start anymore, she had mine in hands (my Z2) and she sold her S4 immidiatly and buyed a Sony and she is very happy now.. Enough said

Crapsung, I used to own an XPERIA x10, I upgraded to and S3 after a long while of owning that phone. I must say, it was an upgrade in speed and battery, but everyone with a decent brain should udnerstand that. I was not really happy with the phone, alot of problems, not only me, alot of others too. After my S3 I bought a Sony again, the XPERIA z2. Not even ONE problem with my phone anymore. No lags, nothing, everything is perfect. Never buying a Samsung again, overrated plastic. But my S3 is not out of service by the way. It still works, not smooth and perfect though as my Z2, my mom is using it with sometimes complaints.
