this was today conversation ,,,the results of what you read is just a sorry and have a nice weekend
We are sorry that you seem to be unsatisfied with the speed of us rolling out updates. The reason for that is, that we want to make sure that our update is flawless. Releasing updates too quickly always carries the risk that the update itself makes problems. Please give us time to do our update properly before deciding to avoid ELEPHONE in the future. We are sure the waiting will be worth it.
Have a nice weekend

since you are the service time ,i must say that i have a bug with the keyboards ,on letter p and l sometimes when i press them its closes the keyboard
-Elephone Service
Dear ......, have you tried with other keyboards? I can recommend to you the SwiftKey or the Gboard keyboard. Those are great keyboards.
-me
seriously you are the servise of the elephone and you dont know that the gboard is the default ?tried the swift and the apachi keyboard ,all the same on p and l ,,,and telling cuistomer to try another keyboard is not a solution sorry ,,,
why dont you provide the source ,so some developers like xda can make a custom rom ,tha is fully fuctional ?
-Elephone Service
Dear
Yes, we are the service of ELEPHONE. We are sorry you still face the problem with the keyboard. Of course we want to help you out as fast as possible. Therefore we recommended those keyboards to rule out other reasons that might cause the problem beforehand. If you're still facing issues, please perform a factory reset on your phone. Please backup all your data first so you don't loose anything. Factory reset is a safe procedure when you have everything backed up, including the 2FA applications you might have stored on your phone, photos, contacts and everything else. If you need any further assistence, please contact [email protected]. Please understand, that we cannot give assistance on how to install custom ROMs, as they are third party software. They can brick your phone and we don't bear responsibility for that.
Again, we are sorry we couldn't resolve your problem
Have a nice weekend

hahah what ever ,,,i said just provide the source , so the cm make a custom rom for this rom ,if i brick it ,you should be the last one to blame ,i had over 50 phones in the past ,and all had custom roms ,and they were working perfect ,i just can understand why is so big deal to provide the source ,so a cyanomod gcould be build ,instead of leaving so many customers with a faulty rom ,and with no update ,,,there are a lot of custom rom builder that they can fix the issues in one week ,,just give the source ,,thats nice to get 230 euros from a customer and say to him that we are sorry that we cant solve the issue you have with one of our devices ?but thank you for the 230 euros ,,hahahha,
and its not only me facing problems
a lot of customers of s8
and its all software build problems
Just want to know about Elephone S8 4G
Are you using this? if yes then could suggest that one for me? as I want to try out a different smartphone, not so notable one but equally good.
im the one in a milion mate ,for me doesnt worth to pay the 2k screen ,and not have others,but you should ask others to
@nasios In my opinion you're quite rude to whoever was helping you. It's not their job, and is definitely not a guarantee, that they (or any other device manufacturer) will provide their sources. As far as the updates go, their answer sounded pretty darn reasonable. Why get an update ASAP fixing a few bugs, but in the long run giving you even more new ones, instead of waiting for a stable update that actually fixes the issues..? Personally I wouldn't suggest anyone base their choice off of your comment(s).
*I was told this phone will not receive Android 8.0 Oreo, but within the next week it will receive an update fixing known bugs.

I'd be more prompt to take you seriously if you reported actual issues and day to day use performance rather than petty complaints over lack of support over something almost no company would support (custom roms).. Not here for a fight, no need to get upset over my response. But rather, give some explanation and user experience for me. Maybe mine will be better, maybe not. I know what I paid for is all, I'm not expecting it to work with my carrier, I'm aware of the bugged camera, and I'm aware of their lack of support. Anything you'd like to add to it that's legitimate given the price? Thanks

i sold ele ,bought something else ,no bugs ,(cause if you google it ,a lot of people have bugs with s8 )everything is better ,even the camera ,no keyboards issues with the same programs)the only one is i dont have the screen of elephone which i dont care ..
i guess me and many other users that report bugs and expect from tha company that gave 220 to get it ,are same as me ,,
and i paid less fot the other one ...and im happy ,and i dont care rather if a custom rom will come out ...
my user experience advice since you have prompt the other not to follow is sell the elephone and never again buy elephone ,,,
bb...
Thank you for going into a bit of detail about the issues you had. I'll keep those specifically in mind as I use mine, if they're present and unbearable I'll refund it, otherwise I'll keep it. I'm more after the screen and specs, the build looks lovely and I feel there's a lot of work arounds to many issues. Again, thanks.

I bet dzo's Aurora is way better than any Official 4.0 Huawei could give us anyway...
more info here:
http://www.unwiredview.com/2012/06/29/huawei-ideos-x5-u8800-pro-gets-android-4-0-ice-cream-sandwich/
don't know how official it's
won't work with ours but its a starting point for devs.
theres many good devs that can easily port this for our device. I think....
Let's wait and see.
Meantime I took the opportunity to send them a message, once more:
"Hello,
Are you thinking in also updating the firmware for Huawei X5 U8800?
The last 3 beta gingerbread releases for our phone are one worst than the previous and more serious is the missing calls issue in all of them.
Well, present your clients with such work is already bad but abandon the developing and leaving it as it is, without even considering your clients, it’s a serious matter and will obviously contributes to scare future buyers and those that already bought.
Leave a phone with 3 bad firmware updates it’s just not a good and healthy company policy.
I hope you are kind enough to correct this and present a big community of Huawei X5 U8800 users with a new and fully operational firmware. Android V4.0 would be a great surprise. Think about it
Thank you very much.
Best regards,"
The auto-message says that this will get a reply soon, but I know they won't even read it.
If thousands send messages doing some pressure, might caught somebody's attention. We never know without trying
Could Dzo rip stuff from the official u8800pro ics to the Aurora release?
Stuff like completely working saunalahti-sim support. It's somewhat working right now but not perfect. The phone still looses connection regularly and requires reboots.

Hi all,
I do hope I am asking it in the right place (I didn't want to make a new thread at first, but the closest one I found was locked, so...).
I am willing to buy a Xiaomi MI2S phone. I already know it is only be sold in China (that isn't a problem, actually). I am mostly interested in the 32Gb version, it has really awesome specs.
I have been making a lot of research about this phone and, from what I've seen so far, feedback is positive. That is comforting, to me, but on the same page, I am directly addressing towards people who actually own this phone (or at least have tried it), what are its fails ? Is that phone as perfect as it looks ? Are there some serious flaws/inconveniences with it ?
Second, I also know that the device comes with a specific ROm (MIUI, available in both English and Chinese). I am totally fine with that, as I had a previous positive experience with MIUI roms. But I'd also like to know if, actually, it is possible to customize the phone ? I mean bootloader unlock, root ? Are there some custom roms (well I do mean Cyanogen support, or Cyanogen ports) for Xiaomi MI2S ? These aspects remains a bit unclear, and any piece of information would be much appreciated.
Thanks reading.
i'm willing to buy this phone too. When my good old LG O2x wil die (Can happen every minute ) So i also did some research.
In my langauge (Dutch) There is a lot of information about it. there is a topic on tweakers.net with lots of users who own the device. They are all very happy with it. Here you go... Ok, it's dutch.. But with the use of a translator.. I guess you can get some interesting things out of it. If not.. I could translate some pieces of text for you to english. Just PM me. Not the whole forum of course
About the ROM's. For as far as i know.. There are still no roms without MIUI.. But i'm not suprised if there are roms without MIUI. Maybe in china..
That's all i can help you with atm..
Good luck with researching
miui was modify from cm
and no other rom for mi2s now.
Hello,
I know is my first post here, but i own a MI2 (almost same specs as MI2S, last one using krait processor, better camera) since december this year.
So far nothing to complain about:
- with MIUI V5 battery last 2 full days (wi-fi on, push e-mail on, gps on)
- gps accurate about 2-3 meters
- no problem with gsm/3G signal
- display is very sharp, resistant to scratches, maybe some kind of ACG glass (drop it few times on the concrete, last time i forgot it on the top of my car and i go only plastic frame around display deform)
- sometimes it`s shut off by himself (dunno why, maybe i mess around with secondary recovery partition when it was on MIUI V4)
- no laggy at all (over 72 apps instaled)
- overall a good phone, and i like it
- i use it with the native rom and i get via OTA some updates at 2-3 weeks
sorry for my bad english, hope that helps
buy
Hi, on what website can you buy this phone, to make sure it's original an all?
I saw it on aliexpress, but there are so many sellers, I don;t know if it will be ok.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

According to the people i refered to in my previous post..www.ibuygou.com is the best shop for the Xiaomi Mi2S device, when it comes to shipping. Some people in holland say that it takes only 1 day to ship, others complain that it takes more than 3 weeks. It depends on the amount of devices they have in stock.
The prices are great btw, 300 euro / 400 dollar for the 16gb, 350 euro / 450 dollar for the 32gb variant. And max 20 dollars for import
They also have accesoires like back covers, cases, batteries etc.
How fast is the GPS locking on the Mi2S?
This is really the perfect phone, with the exception it doesnt have LTE (does it?)
I had a mi 2
Its the best smartphone in 4.3" formfactor
Fast, stable
Very good camera
Long lasting akku on (gps wlan,edge)
Out of the box fast and stable no need for custom rom
Beside miui there is a stockandroid rom with english and chinese language
Cons
3g akku drain
Thick and high weight in comparison to s3, htc one
Bad support in fact of defect or something
Sometimes bad reception
Sometimes microphone issues ( mayve only my device)

Hi all,
First of all, thanks for the positive feedback.
Well, Ibuygou seems to be a popular (and good) choice as a way to purchase the phone.
I'll consider that. Thanks for the tip.
Well, I still don't have much information about the second part of the question though. I am looking for information in the actual state-of-art on modding the phone : is there some safe ways for bootloader unlock, phone rooting ? Are there custom roms actually for Xiaomi devices, or at least, devs working on that ?
These aspects still remain a bit unclear to me, and i'd like to be enlighten on this.
Thanks in advance.
PS: Well it seems i missed natoleon's answer on that:
miui was modify from cm
and no other rom for mi2s now.

There is no developers support due to lack of source code for the kernel as they refuse to follow the GPL laws. Also. Ok real development team has any respect for the MIUI crew as it is well known they take code from others and don't give anything back. For the these reasons this device will not see any development or forums here.
Wayne Tech Nexus
You can find a AOSP for Xiaomi Mi2/Mi2S here. It uses the same kernel though.

It's a spanish forum, but the rom is multilanguage. You can use Google Translator to get an idea of it's said.

simple answer, get MI2S 32GB, it's better in every way
I have ordered this Friday Mi2S 16GB because of "crazy discount" on ibuygou: http://www.ibuygou.com/crazy-discount/
I am really looking forward for this phone, I love MIUI
Hi, thanks for your prompt reply....
i heard a rumor that Mi3 is getting launched by august 16th... is that true ? also with full HD & octa core CPU ?
above all it is priced at 320$ !!!
I am very excited & i am kind of lets wait no matter even if the earthquake happens.... what should i do man ???
Hi,
I it's up to you.
The question is, do you want BIG and heavy phone (MI3, 5" screen, fullHD) or relatively small but still veeery fast (Mi2S, 4,3" screen, 720p).
Both phones are so fast that rest of parameters doesn't matter, you don't feel the difference....
I am very happy that MI2S have only 4,3" screen, not 4,5" or bigger because I want "compact" but fast phone with 2GB ram.
So I don't care about MI3.

There you go, thanks for helping me....
now i will go ahead & book Mi2S 32GB version & i will get it from a person who has been shipping this from china to europe since long time.. many have voted him as one of the best....
so i will be placing an order by tomorrow or day after maximum once the chinese boat festival is over....
will update once i get progress regarding this... can i see ur Mi2S ? & which ROM r u using currently ? what r all the must have apps to be installed & what crap wares to be uninstalled ? it is better we chat through PMs.... what do u say ?
I mean, it still packs some decent specs under that beautiful design, regardless of performance. I mean, try to buy it from their site, it won't be highlighted or something, but op2 and op3 are. Try to find some oneplus x guides, op2 guide will show up, and this goes forever, you get it. MAY I MENTION IT's august 2016, the phone came in late 2015 and we still didn't get a 6.0 update ? I bet they gave up on oneplus x and we're never gonna get a 6.0 update actually. Some shameful shi.t right here. MORE MONEY, MORE PROBLEMS I SUPPOSE. They are blinded by the tremendous success of op2 and op3 phones so they dropped oneplus x "for good". That's how i'll never stick to oneplus again.
there is no need of this anxiety, CyanogenMod already has been released marshmallow of OPX and there are many developers ROM available you can try them i would like to prefer Sultan's ROM because i am using and it is really very good and battery backup is great SoT is unbelievable 4 to 5 hours. don't worry man there is always a hope..by the way oxygen os is no so good..... sorry if my narration is not make you happy

yes there is need for this anxiety, cyanogenmod has been released but there is no stable version out yet, yes there are many rom's available but everyone of them has one bug or the other, i would prefer stock rom because they have almost minor to no bugs because casual users like me dont go testing every feature of the rom after flashing. why would this matter you ask then lemme give you an example from a casual user's point of view, i'm chilling with my friends & they show me some content (might be any personal song or video) & i ask them to transfer it to me via bluetooth like any casual user & i find out that the bluetooth function is broken & that would be an embarassing situation i wouldn't wanna be in.
Pls dont get me wrong im not slandering the hard work of custom rom developers, im jus stating my point as a casual user whose not interested in SoT but just wants to feel safe knowing all the features of my phone are working well.
Many of you will say stick to oxygen 2.2 if you want to feel safe but i would say my one plus x is not that old and 7.0 is about to release im not asking for the latest but atleast give me 6.0 which even cheap & crappy chinese phones come with now a days.

give a try to Sultan's ROM you will be not disappointed, because there is no bugs everything is working fine. you can use it like casual user or if you need root access then you have to flash superSU above than 2.6 version. how it will help you else upto you

never gonna buy OnePlus sh*t again...
Well im not talking about particular rom developers, they are in no way linked to the company itself. They develop custom roms for plenty of devices. As far as these goes, i tried paranoid, which is incredibly nice looking but it drains my battery pretty fast with wi-fi on all the time, and i can't connect to mobile data on either of sim cards. Sultan's xda is not any different from official cm13 rom, as far as i could tell, and any other cm13 roms for different devices. It's just the same interface im fed up with it. Oxygen os is a big dissapointment, i dont like it at all. ON THE OTHER HAND, H2os is perfect for me, perfect design, incredibly long battery life, but not quite good performances. Anyway, i bought the phone mostly cause of it's very nice looking design so i got to stick with lags in google play store.
Anyway, my point still stands. They been blinded by the success of oneplus 3 so they decided to forget about oneplus x. I bet we won't get android 6.0 at all.

Lad spoke for me! :good:
i've been saying the same shiet, just more gently. This right here is just a consequence.
no offense, but i would like to say i love my phone with custom ROM and i would suggest you guys should purchase google nexus phone if you really need latest Android and i am also thinking about but i have two sim that's why i purchased OnePlus x phone because of their commitment that they will provide latest Android but they betrayed us. Unfortunately we can't do anything despite shouting...is there any options? by the way i am happy by rooting my device and i like custom ROM.

Many of you will say stick to oxygen 2.2 if you want to feel safe but i would say my one plus x is not that old and 7.0 is about to release im not asking for the latest but atleast give me 6.0 which even cheap & crappy chinese phones come with now a days.

well, we got lollipop with MM-like features xD
Coldfear I can't agree more with you, that's why I stick to OOS after have tested around 5 custom roms in my phone. Simply for the rock solid signal reception, the Super fast 4G, the unbeatable photo quality (yes I've tried sultans hal, but apart from fps, nothing comes close to stock camera image quality) and the fact that as a casual user all the every day features of the Rom are readily available to me when I need them. On the other hand all devs put their best efforts to provide a features rich roms and should continue doing so, in order satisfy all kind of users. Rom choice It's really a personal matter. Everyone keep up the good work.

A CM nightly with broken features can happen anytime, but then you flash a release from another date that corrected the casual bug. That's how its supposed to work. If you find a good build you stay with that for a month at least then update. If you are not happy with the new update you go back to the rom you were using. And with twrp everything is easy, and finish in few minutes. And lets not forget that OOS 5.1 has released many updates and users are still complaining about bugs there too. Anyway I think that OPX team has done a good job with OOS, they are still updating it in a time when everyone is focused one OP3.
OP3 is the flagship, it has just been released and has attracted a huge fan base already. Its normal it has overshadowed OPX which now is a mid-range budget phone. I think that after some months, they will put some effort on bringing a full working MM on OPX. And then , start working on OP4
I remember, when OnePlus were asked why they haveused an older chipset in OnePlus X , they said that it'll help the device to have more (unofficial) development support. I think they indirectly implied ,"OnePlus X users, we won't be updating your software since we have provided you with a chip set that is going to have a great amount of (unofficial) developer support. So, don't bother us by asking for updates and let us concentrate on our "Flagship killers" ".

I have to disagree with you here.
1. Picture quality is better on SulatanXDA roms. It can be subjective, but it seems so. Even my friend semi-pro photographers said so. I don't care about 4K recording/FPS much
2. There are no bugs.
3. I get 50 Mbit/s on LTE outside of the building. It differes depending on time of the day and location obviously.
Anyway I do recommend SultanXDA rom to anyone who is looking to replace buggy (yes it is buggy and never updated!!!) OOS. Love this phone.... The only thing I hate is lack of 5GHz band for wifi (it isn't even the band as the support is there, One+ was lazy enough not to put an antenna in)
I have been thinking about buying this phone but am unsure when i read so many ppl have problems with the Oreo update. Is the 7.12 that comes with the phone at least stable enough so I wont have any real issues? I dont mind staying on 7.1.2 as long as there are no problems with it, but I wouldnt want to buy this new phone and already have problems with it to make me want to return it...
Thanks for ur advice!
ive got no problems at all with mine mate, the camera is a bit rubbish, its not horrible but not great but everything is great and im n the latest oreo build
^^ What he said.
Everything is perfect fine here too.
I listen to music, play Clash of Clan, Clash Royale etc and have no issue so far. Some ppl have hissing issue while some not (I'm one of them, maybe I dun have perfect hearing). If you like low light photography probably not recommended.
The reason I chose this phone over Meizu M6 Note bcoz I reckon there is room for improvement(just gotta be patience) and it's much cheaper with the same specs during 11.11 Sale. If you like photography, maybe can consider Meizu M6 Note as the price has lowered, and the downside is that you may not get any customized ROM and frequent updates.
Flagship mobiles dun mean the best too - http://www.androidpolice.com/2018/02/08/google-sued-2016-pixels-microphone-problems/ ...
P/s: I'm still on 7.1.2 ... I'll never be the first to update nor buy new gadget, I'd rather wait and read reviews =P

thanks for ur feedbacks peeps! I guess ill probably buy the A1 and stick with 7.1.2 until Oreo gets more stable in the coming months. i dont wanna rush it and mess up my phone, possibly brick it, only thing im worried about cuz then thats $230 down the drain..
how is Mi's support? are they good and trustworthy? seems like Oreo is taking them some time to get some critical bugs fixed like the battery drain etc. Cant be that hard/long to fix these things..??
btw to update to Oreo do i need to do such things as unlocking bootloader, rooting, etc. things that void my warrant, JUST so i can update the phone? or is this only necessary if i want to install a custom rom? I forgot androids cuz ive been using a Windows phone for the last 4 years but its time to go back as Windows mobile is dead.

Only for custom ROM man. Otherwise just update it from N to O without problems.
And if you want Google Cam you'll need to root your phone. But first look what pictures you have with stock camera and decide later if you want Google cam. I'm fine with stock camera but I don't take pro pictures with a phone. For that I have a camera.
Guys... I have no idea why this phone doesn't have any custom rom already.
The phone is good the processor is famous and already has many roms for it google cam is also supported.
I request if anyone by any chance can contact a developer for a rom. By telegram, WhatsApp or any social media. And if none of those agrees to make it because they doesn't have this phone, then I and I know many of you will be willing to test the rom for improvement.
I bought this phone 2 weeks ago at very cheaper rate but now I think I should have taken any other phone.
Previously I owned Moto droid turbo and Asus zenfone 2.
Both phones have great development till now.
It's a humble request. Please find someone.
The problem with this phone is that not so many people bought it despite the great specs. I think people gave up since Zf5 is already released.. Look at Zf2, so many roms!

I am surprised as well that there's no custom stuff available either.
However, this is the first device I've had where I haven't put a custom ROM on it or even rooted and I'm finding I'm not missing a whole lot. My needs are probably pretty modest but I find that stock it's doing everything I want already.
I used to at least root to get Adaway installed but with browsers that have ad-blocking built-in and the rest of my apps generally being paid ad-less versions I don't even miss that. There's always Blokada/DNS66/etc. if I need to.
We're even on Oreo too now.
So, honest question - what features do you want from a custom ROM for our phones?

Well first of all I love the vanilla look of android.
I know I can get that by rooting but that's not what I want. I want a fresh raw android with some features like built in root support, good battery(vanilla android can get more out of this 5000mah), full pixel master and google camera support, splendid support, a little loud speaker(after oreo I think it sound low), ambient display(gotta use that amoled), and customisable options like in RR.
And there is one mod which can make your earpiece the secondary speaker to give stereo effect... That would be pretty dope.

All cool things, I especially miss ambient display (had it on my Moto X Play and on some other devices with CM/Lineage) - using KinScreen/Gravity to try and simulate it but yes, full-blown ambient display is awesome. Not sure why ASUS didn't implement this.

The built in "stock" ambient display in this thing is unlike the others. It gives out COLORS, not black and white. I tried with ambient display enabler for xposed and... got really disappointed.
Like, what a waste for an AMOLED
Also, is your panel bleeding some grey in the middle when it's full black?

Hey, I am here to find way to bring you Lineage OS. If you really want it just collect a donation to pay an used/ a new zenfone 3 zoom. Then a dev can work on it.
If you wish I can do this job and participate to the coast of the device.
Up to you guys
Battery drain
Doesn't feel like 5000 mah battery.
To much buggy rom.
Need custom rom badly.
Developers pls help
Developpers are busy making lineage OS for Bourgeois devices they dont care for broke people.
Because thats the true spirit of modding: Making Lineage for Samsung 12
Yes, we do need a custom ROM for this, badly. I can't imagine this to require a lot of effort to just port a Zenfone 3 ROM and fix the camera (correct me if I'm wrong).

I definitely agree to you sir.
You can get the help of @codeworkx guys. :laugh:
If some developers manage to work LineageOS for 3 Zoom I believe that custom roms will be more possible to be created.
Common developers
Pls develop some custom rom for this device having awesome hardware.
GCmod camera photos shot on this device come better than iPhone 7.
It's an highly capable device which needs AOSP/RR roms
Android Pie officially launched this Monday August 6th by the floor of the carriage will have to buy another device to be able to take advantage of the new ones of the system Artificial intelligence.

Why not I am interested by a new phone to work on, no no, as student I don't earn money, so such hint could help me to have a new phone and bring lineage for you guys, I am ok if you guys are ready, I can try as soon I am less busy Because of summer to make a build.
Regards
@McFy, is your offer still valid?
guys, seriously, this zenfone 3 zoom is for ~140$ on banggood.
it needs just ~14 ppl x 10$ or 28 ppl x 5$ to deliver it to the developer.
i'm first one in the line but doing this by myself will not be enough.
after we have some serious comittments here we can think of some social campaign or -- as you can see from McFy profile -- donating him directly through paypal.
who would like to participate? please add your nick and amount you're ready to participate.
1. geos_ - up to 10$

This sound as a nice idea to me, I am ready to pay 10$

I'd be maybe 3rd then. But for now I've noticed white noise in right earphone when sound is played, and I'm not 100% sure is that software or hardware issue.
How long It would take to build a LineageOs?
