Good Day Sir. I'm wondering if you can port Xolo 8x 1000 with hive ui Rom to my Cherry Mobile Excalibur. Both device share the same physical features, the only difference is that xolo has 2gb ram 16 gb rom while cherry has only 1gb ram 8gb rom. Thanks in advance and more power.
I'm on Hive now.
Finally I found a way to flash Xolo-1000 to our Cherry Mobile Excalibur....
Need help
How did you flash hive? i also have cherry mobile excalibur.
Successfully Port XOLO-8x-1000 ROM to CM x150/EXCALIBUR
Good-day sir I soft brick my CM Excalibur because I messed up on the system.
I know I know you'll never gonna read all of this
So I decided to find an stock ROM for this CM x150 or known as Excalibur/XOLO-8x-1000 but yet I find nothing. Then I decided to take the risk. They say the CM Excalibur is a clone of XOLO-8x-1000 so I downloaded the ROM (link below):
Note: If your doing this you must take responsibility if anything might happen. But If you follow the step you have the higher chance of success. Backup first before anything!!!:good:
STEP - 1:
Link of the XOLO-8x-1000 ROM Media Fire
And the flashing tool:
SP-Flash-Tool-v5.1352.01 - Flashing tool
Note: Instead of using the in-zip flashing tools (in the Directory of "\Xolo 8x-1000 S020 21-07-2014\Flash Tool , the Sp splash tool will be used.
While you are downloading open this guide in a new tab:
STEP - 2:
Follow carefully Guide HERE :fingers-crossed:
Also:
MT6592_Android_scatter.txt is in the DIR of "\Xolo 8x-1000 S020 21-07-2014\Firmware"
Follow every steps using that guide.
After all downloads are done.
STEP - 3:
Extract both Zip Files to the Desktop or Anywhere else that you can easily access it. But I recommend Desktop Okay Okay it's up to you.
After extraction.
STEP - 4:
open the folder named SP Flash Tool v5.1352.01 their you can find the executable file named flash_tool.exe or just flash_tool run it as administrator so that it will gain a higher permission.
I assume that the flash_tool has been executed already.
STEP - 5:
Now -
READ ALL FIRST: Follow follow the link in Step - 2. The Image in the link I have provided might be different from the image above it's because they are using the older version than the image above. But no worry it functions the same, just the UI is different.
Now back to business. On the
click it and choose Firmware Upgrade.
The END.
Enjoy your Cherry XOLO-8x-1000-x150 hahaha
Hope this helps.
All I want is to help you not to destroy your phone. If you trust me then go on. But if not it's okay. :good:

Hi Joel1977!
I also own a CM Xcalibur and recently, i clean installed a stock ROM of Xolo's 8x-1000 with HIVE UI and it worked fine. The one thing I noticed is though is the internal memory after flashing 8x-1000's rom into Xcali, the user available phone memory was reduced from 6.7GB to 2.2GB. Maybe its because the ROM is to huge a file that it occupies a much larger space in your phone memory, but that's not a problem coz you can install a microSD card to expand the storage space.
I've been using it for about 3 days now and I don't see any problems at all. Another good thing here is that whenever you connect to the internet, you always receive updates from HIVE team. Since I installed HIVE on my Xcali I've already received 3 updates which improved a lot of things in my phone like the camera, 3G connection, touch sensitivity, battery life and a lot more. Here are some screen shoots...:laugh:
...and here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/rom-xolo-8x-1000-infinix-zero-clones-t2979668 in case you wanna try flashing HIVE into your phone, GOOD LUCK
Yup Good News to CM Exclibur Owners
I already flash Xolo 8x-1000 to my Excalibur successfully.HIVE rocks! Antutu result is 28k and I think it's much higher than my former Excalibur with only 26k.Though internal memory is reduced but it's still ok with me 'cause I got 16gb external that can be max capacity to 32gb just be sure it's class 10 for a much faster data transfer.Xolo always provides updates and waiting for a Lollipop that Xolo confirmed to arrive to Hive Users.:good:
infinix zero
Hi, I would like to know if I flash it to my infinix zero
Excalibur user here.

Hello,
I had received a Chinese Samsung Galaxy Edge+ G9280 as a gift but it is not preinstalled with Google Play Store. May I know if any one has successfully installed Google Play Services and Play Store in their Edge+？ I'm trying to stay away from rooting the phone as I am afraid of bricking the phone.
Many thanks in advance for your help.
Best regards
Alex
On past devices, you had to find a place to download the Google Services APK, root the device, then move the APK to system/app manually. I doubt it's different with the Edge+.
Thanks! May I know had anyone succeeded in rooting a G9280 or similar model yet? Any do or don't? I'd bricked a phone before.. You can imagine how nervous I'm now. Lol
Best regards

Thanks a bunch!!

Another thing you could try is flashing the firmware for the Hong Kong Edge+ if they are the same model#. It would have the full Google services framework and could be flashed using Odin without rooting or tripping Knox and losing your warranty.
G9280 Root and Play Store
Hi Alex
Did you end up getting your G9280 installed with Play Store and root I assume?
I already have root and play store (not done by me) but if I apply and updates from Samsung I will lose root and play store.
Thanks
Play Store not running
Hi
i have unlocked and rooted my device SM-G9280 , installed the google services, but still can not run google play store ,
does anyone have an advice how to get this run ?
Did anyone manage installing gapps on the G9280? Please help
Try this.
If you read Chinese, or if you can find somebody to help you, you can try the following:
Step 1: Please root your phone. Visit this page: http colon //daxiaamu dot com/?p=2055
Step 2: Download Root Explorer in Samsung APP store.
Step 3: Download Google Play Services APK, Google Play Store APK, Please visit: http colon //www dot androidapksfree dot com/apk/google-play-services-apk-latest-version-download/
If you download with your phone, it is stored at /data/media/0/download
Step 4: Use RE to move those two APKs to /system/app
Step 5: Use RE to change permissions from rw-rw-rw to rw-r-r
Step 6: restart your phone and the google play store should be OK. (please install Google Play Store first if you have not yet done so.)
It is not a perfect solution, but it works. Let me know if you cannot make it work.
hey i was looking for the same answer because i have same phone g9280 without any google service and some apps are impossible to get from Chinese store.
i have successfully rooted my device and then i have installed gapps. now it is working fine.
first you need to download the root file, is a xxx.tar , then install it with odin. Also you need to find the PHILZ software and install it in same way, that software allows you to install the gapps file (download it and copy in to the device internal memory as first).
if youre still in china, be aware that you need a VPN installed and working if you want google app works.
hope it helps.
Paid ROM service
I had the same problem and confusion like you guys after I got back from China. Searched a bunch but didn't get a satisfying solution, I emailed both Samsung CN(China) and CA(Canada). CA said it's none of their business since I bought the phone back in China, CN replied that 9280 and CA model have different specs, therefore they cannot provide the CA system I required. I was like wtf, so this Samsung flagship device is just gonna sit at home like a brick?
Did a little Baidu (like Google in China) and finally got an answer. I successfully rooted my 9280 from taobao.com (like ebay or amazon in China) for ￥188, or 30USD 40CAD (wtf with CAD nowadays, geez). The ROM is made by a famous Samsung rooting service company in China. I will put a link at the end of the post.
After a month of use, I will give the ROM an A.
- google services are for sure usable.
- OEM system look with lots of adds-on features in settings.
- a few bugs, not too noticeable.
- improved battery life.
You will see some interesting (but do you need it?) features in settings. Anyways, if you want to access Google Play Store and use Google Services, go for it.
Link below contains some screenshots I took before and after the ROM installation:

2. A mainland Chinese friend. Not just some random 2nd gens or HKs. No offense, but he/she will have to understand and follow all the Mandarin installation instructions. Plus, he/she needs a taobao account and a valid payment method accepted by taobao. (Don't worry, if your friend is a Mainlander, they will probably have all that.)
3. 30USD or 40CAD, + a McDonald's happy meal for your friend
Leave me a comment if you have any questions.

hey guys, i remember i have spent a lot of time looking the root file in google. but then i realized that nobody cares about this model in particular but chinese people so i used baidu instead. then i have clicked every single chinese link until i found it.
im actually in China so i cant find a way to upload for you, due to firewalls. Im gonna keep trying and let you know soon.

here what you need to root your device sm-g9280:
mega.nz/#!kcNCWBiQ[/
contains:
gapps: complete google play services and app.
odin 10
philz_touch : bootloader for rooted device
root stock kernel : root file.
instructions: (all of it is necessary, and totally works if you do it well. im not responsible if your phone get damaged in the process, do it completely under your own responsability) note: if you follow the instructions, youre going to lose your warranty (samsung, vendor or whatever else). i strictly recommend you do backup your phone info and download the original software from .samsung-updates, in case something go wrong you will probably need it to recover your phone alive and restart the process.
step 1: download and unrar the file in the link. PASSWORD KEY IS : JuanC
step 2: copy the GAPPS file (zip file, do not uncompress it) into your device's memory (remember the directory adress)
step3: unblock your download mode in your device options. if you dont know how, just ask youtube.
step4: turn off your device and extract the sim card ( if you dont, you gonna lose your antenna drivers)
step5: start your device in download mode. ask youtube if you dont know how
step6: if the download mode is unblocked, you would be able to see the message "unblock". then you can connect your device via USB to your computer and open the ODIN program (included in the link). you also need to have the lastest SMARTSWITCH program installed in your PC for the phone drivers. If everything goes well this far , you would be able to see a green or yellow square in the upper corner with the word COM1 or COM2 depending of how many USB ports your PC has.
step7: press the AP button, look for the root kernel file and click OK or LOAD. and wait a few minutes depending on your pc configuration. when done, the message screen shows LEAVE CCS
step8: click load on the bottom. if goes well, after a few minutes you will see a green square with the message : PASS!!. if you have a problem in here just load the original software again.
step9: start the phone and let it update the changes. then turn it off and start it again in DOWNLOAD mode, same as before, restart odin in the AP button you look for the PHILZ_TOUCH file. it will change the bootloader of your device. load it!
step10: start the phone and let it update the changes. turn it off again, and start it in BOOTLOAD mode. ask youtube if you dont know how. click on install from sd card and look for the GAPPS file you have copied from beginning. install it. then push "restart"
step 11: enjoy!
hope it helps.

Is not working for me (firmware on the phone--G9280ZCU2AOK6_G9280CHC2AOK6_CHC), in step 7, when I load "G9280-OJ9-Root-Stock-Kernel.tar" the the message "LEAVE CCS" is not showing up, and if I press start, it is flashing the kernel but the phone is stuck at start screen
Ok then go to samsung-updates.com and download the lastest firmware Q2QOJ9 and flash it in the phone. Next repeat the process
---------- Post added at 11:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:44 PM ----------
Or you can baidu the firmware you have and look for the root. Dont worry, when you flash a firmware it will run again. Just ensure the root file you use is same firmware you have inatalled
the firmware you have does not has a root file created yet.
download this firmware and flash it as first step, then do the rest.
samsung-updates.com/details/55960//SM-G9280/CHC/G9280ZCU2AOJ9.html
it is october released and last root file created until now. same as i have installed and running.
thanks, is working now, .... sadly if you update google play is not working anymore, ( tryed to instal youtube and promted me to updete google play ), I tryed "open gapps" and is not working
Somth is different then
I didnt install youtube, till you say it.
Just now i did it with my vpn and i had no problem Installing it and running it. I dont remember if i have updated google play, but just now i have checked and i have 6.0.0 version. And everything is fully working without any problem.
Maybe you can go to the app manager and unistall google and google services and reinstall it from bootloader again and see if the prob is solved. Or google GAPPS and get the last package updated to install.
However, now that you know how to make it works, my advice is you keep moving on next step, i mean maybe downloading the newest firmware from samsung-updates.com on your pc (once youre rooted, you will need to flash it manually) and spending sometime looking for the root file for that firmware.
I trust you let me know if you get it first.
I'm NOT the developer/creator of this app/method. Chenxiaolong is. Here's the link to the official thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2447534
Credits: @chenxiaolong - This guy is just great. Our device required many additional hacks and changes to work because of its crappy closed-source update-binary and closed-source Mediatek sources. This awesome dev had to work a lot to get this work fully on our device. Yes, he did. Debug builds, logs, debugging, reworking and all, and he never stopped. That's just amazing. So, I want to thank him wherever you see his post and if you can PLEASE donate as your token of appreciation. :good::fingers-crossed:
@911-Future_Maker Some help and tips in the initial stages.
@FeyoMx Initial helps since my phone wasn't rooted then.
Me. No I'm not exaggerating. I did my fair share of work in testing debug builds and providing logs and testing again. So, press thanks if this worked for you :victory:
Disclaimer:
Neither I nor the dev is responsible for any damage this app does to your device.
You MUST have a nandroid backup in case something bad happens.
Only do something after the whole thread a few times.
Yes, this is true multibooting. Install as many ROMs as our internal storage allows. I can't install more than 3 ROMs (on extsd-slot) as I have a lot of apps.
Here's the procedure:
1- Download the latest version of the app from https://snapshots.noobdev.io and the DualBootUtilities.zip (https://snapshots.noobdev.io/DualBootUtilities-8.0.0.r2162.gc717564.zip)
Note: Only version 8.0.0.r2157.g7d47ab8 and newer completely supports our device.
2- Select ROMs from the navigation drawer of the app on the left
3- Grant supersuser/root rights when it asks
4- Click "Set kernel" if it is asked.
5- Click the three-dot menu on the first ROM, which will be your current ROM.
6- Scroll down and click update ramdisk
7- Reboot
8- Select "Patch Zip file" from the navigation drawer
9- Press the + button and select the zip of the ROM you want to install.
10- Select the slot to which you want to install the ROM.
Take either a data-slot or an extsd-slot.
I recommend using an extsd-slot because the internal memory gets full very fast. Even if you install to extsd-slot, only /system/ is stored on the SD card because having data and cache as image files on the SD card shortens its lifespan by almost a week.
11- Patch the GApps, Xposed or any other zip you want to install to this ROM the same way giving the extsd-slot number you gave for the ROM.
12- Install the patched zip. There are two ways:
I) in recovery (highly recommended)
II) through the built-in zip flasher. Click on the circle in the ROMs page. Add the zips with the plus button. Click the tick.
13- Reboot. It'll automatically reboot the new ROM if it was installed successfully.
14- Voila!! You are now multibooting!
To switch between ROMs, you need the Dual Boot Patcher app on that ROM. Navigate to ROMs, and click you ROM you want to switch. A tick will appear.
Reboot.
EDIT: Forgot about app sharing. Here it is
App Sharing:
Yes, this feature allows you to share the data of your apps across the ROMs. That means you'll have your Chrome tabs open as you left it in the other ROM. Cool !
Instructions:
1- Navigate to App Sharing settings in the navigation drawer.
2- Select "Share individual apps" and reboot.
3- Select the apps you want to share in "Manage shared apps" and select "Use shared data".
4- Reboot to the same ROM. This is very important. If you switch ROMs, you'll lose your data and you will have uncheck "Use shared data" to get it back.
5- Reboot to the ROM with which you want to share data.
6- Install the app if it isn't installed.
7- Do the same as steps 2, 3 and 4 in that ROM. Yes, rebooting to another ROM there can also result in data loss.
8- You will now have the same data across all those ROMs :victory:
I've tried sharing WhatsApp, Google Chrome, a game and Tapatalk and all these work perfectly fine.
Bugs:
I haven't seen any (of the app, do NOT report ROM bugs here)
If you find any, provide logs. If it was while installing provide the recovery.log from TWRP>Settings>Copy logs to SD
If ROM not booting, flash GetLogs.zip from the website (link: https://snapshots.noobdev.io/misc/getlogs/GetLogs-20160120.zip)
If a ROM is not booting, don't worry, reboot to recovery, and flash the DualBootUtilities.zip and switch to primary ROM.
N.B.: The touch screen doesn't work in AROMA on our device. So, navigate using volume buttons. It's a bit weird, but you'll get you used to it.
Yes, it's risky. That's why you should have a nandroid backup.
I'll try to help you as much as I can, but I'm not a dev. So, if you provide logs, I'll see and if it is something new, I'll tell the dev. He is usually busy.
N.B.: This whole post was written on my phone, so it's bad, I know. I'll edit it when I get time.
Please press thanks if I have helped you.
Good guide but if the roms support sdcard as default storage then its worth dual booting

Why? You can dualboot no matter what's your default write disk. You must just have enough free space. Using 4 roms currently, my default disk is internal storage and my primary rom has a tons of apps installed. Btw @sandeep.sethi I'm having problems trying to dualboot your latest AICP rom. :laugh: 5 fast vibrations and back to recovery.

Interestingly enough I'm same person with the guy who's using the niklabs username @needrom. lol Nice to meet you mate.:highfive:
To be honest 4 roms are overkill, 3 roms can serve me just fine.

Wait! That was an old shot my bad. The one attached below is representing my current usage. I'm using BlissPop, it's a monster.
Interestingly enough I'm same person with the guy who's using the niklabs username @needrom. lol Nice to meet you mate.:highfive:
To be honest 4 roms are overkill, 3 roms can serve me just fine.

Which is your ROM??
It's because of the ro.build.product of your build.prop

This is easy. I'll guess you're installing MIUI or CM right? Because these roms usually contains this limitation about "hermes" only devices. Just open the updater-script which can be found in META-INF/com/google/android path, open it as text via some root file manager and edit it removing the following lines:
Code:
getprop("ro.product.device") == "hermes" || abort("This package is for \"hermes\" devices; this is a \"" + getprop("ro.product.device") + "\".");
Success.
Hey @Salman A. bro I have a little update on your question about that can we install a VibeUI on extsd-slot or in any other slot different than primary. Good news - it works like a charm, screen attached from last night when I was again playing with flashing roms on my phone lol.
Installed VibeUI_1604_ST on extsd-slot all working, I just edited the updater-script to prevent boring errors like that one above removing these line:
Code:
getprop("ro.product.model") == "Lenovo K50-t5" || abort("This package is for \"Lenovo K50-t5\" devices; this is a \"" + getprop("ro.product.model") + "\".");
So now running VibeUI from my extsd card lol, I flashed it just to confirm it's possible, but I think I'll wipe it and flash it again as primary because I mostly play games on VibeUI and I don't want to run a heavy game from my extsd while the entire phone system is also running from the card. It will slow down the things.
Meanwhile I still can't make the AICP rom by sandeep a multiboot ready. Sometimes it hangs at the logo, sometimes vibrates 5 times and reboots back to recovery. I posted at the dualboot thread and really hope that Chen will help me.

Wait! I forgot to mention that I also tried VibeUI_1606 from needrom and it while it had instaled fine it doesn't boot! Got stucked at the logo... I don't know for the other MM roms, you may want to try 1605 as I already tried 1606 and as you can see without success. So may be no multiboot for MM for now...if you have enouh space on internal you may try and report. So the bottom line:
VIBEUI_1604_ST Android 5.1 is working
VIBEUI_1606_DEV Android 6.0 won't boot.
Phone: Lenovo K3 Note
ROM: 04_K3_NOTE_5.1_1604_STABLE_ROW_004_CUOCO92
Kenrnel fix successful but in primary ROM While updating ram disk it gave error
log file attached
Please help
Using the latest Dualboot 2162 build with the VibeUI_3.1_1606 - can't update the ramdisk and also not indicating that the primary rom is the currently running.
I still can switch to other rom via the utilities zip so for now it's a compromise that I chose to make.

You have to change ro.build.product to aio_otfp without _m in your build.prop. If you are still trying that zip, you will still have to edit the updater-script. My advice, don't use it. That's very old. Try the new CM 12.1 Beta 3

Link: http://bbs.phoenixstudio.org/en/showthread.php?tid=7470
Any chance this version would fix video playback issues I was having across multiple apps?
For people who like to auto generate a grub entry to run from same HD as linux, you can try my script: 50_PhoenixOS
Disclaimer: I have not tried this latest Phoenix OS v2.5.0 yet, but im going to download it now. (I just saw this thread)
*edit*
Ok downloaded and tried to install this version (PhoenixOSInstaller_v2.5.0.267_x86_x64.iso) in a Debian9's VM (Virtual Machine Manager), and it failed to install !
I can't login on their forum due to an incompatibility with Firefox Nightly, so can't inform them about it.
I will extract the needed files for the script like i did for previous version and see if it works at all...

Mouse Problem
I am using Phoenix OS on VMware. Version 2.2.1.247 works fine on VM. But I am having problem in 2.5.0. I am unable to use mouse in phoenix os. Can any one help me why this is happening.
@pietras83
Download gms latest for x86_64 from apkmirror .now reboot pos with DEBUG=1 kernel flag and replace it with orig one inside /system/priv-app/gms**/*.apk .be sure to move downloaded apk to move into root partition in which you have installed pos.
Or
Simply if rooted (guide by meanhacker) ,using es file explorer, replace it. Or
Just use alt+f1 ,mv and overwrite gms apk files as expected .

Guys, I want to install either phoenix or remix os (dual boot along with windows 10), but I cannot resize my partition to 16384 MB even though I've got about 25 GB free space on that disk. Is it the windows files that take up that much space or..? Anyway - does the partition have to be exactly 16384 MB or can it be less, for example 8 gigs?
Does this version work on NVIDIA GTX 970?

Alright, so I can create a new partition out of my C: Drive and I can resize it to 4096 MB or 8192 MB without any problems? Are you sure it is going to work for dual boot? Every tutorial on youtube always says to put 16384 MB, so I don't know now.
@pannicz Think Technically ,It will surely work but that 2gb Data img will not be enough if you are going to install a lot apps or big games .
Do it like this .
First of all create a dedicated partition for This OS.Now format it into ext2 or fat32 (if you willing to use max 4gb data parttition).now copy iso files in this .And download grub2win and open it ,install grub bootloader through it and add android-x86 entry but change the lines
Like
Code:
/Android/kernel to /kernel
By using custom boot lines or
Simply copy iso files from root to /Android/* in the partition .
Now boot with grub2 win by choosing it in boot menu by pressing F12 or whatever .
Use ext2 file explorer to create /data/ folder like /Android/data/ in the new ext2 partition.
Tip:-
No need to create seperate partition if you want data.img using rmxtools .u can just use installer tool.
Use ext2 formatted partition if you are willing to use data folder since it will preserve file perms.
this build breaks my sound and ethernet is not working anymore,.
I m on a HP 8470p

The one thing I hate more than anything; one could easily say the Grand Master of them all; is when people perpetuate the "truth" by saying [something along the lines of] "You can't do it."; that just makes my blood boil with rage, because while they may, or may not know the "answer", they already have the "solution" well within their grasp. Well, I know the solution, not answer, the solution; just find the (or, even code, if necessary) file, or set of files that allows the older kernel to communicate with you mouse, and replace/insert the corresponding code/file/files in the new kernel, with that of the old kernel. Simple lodgic; it's not that complicated.
So, I was permabanned from the Phoenix OS forums for asking the same question I asked at the beginning of this thread regarding video playback issues I was having, marked apparently as "spam"? Care to explain that?
Hi mates, sry to interrupt other discussions anyway do you think there's any chance to get some newer version of android on PCs equipped with cpu that don't support SSE4? I have a 64bit machine but for now I have to run the 32bit version (older kernel and android) and it would be nicer to run the newer versions.
Just wanted to put this question in the thread, I'm sorry but for now I can't help with any video playback issue
