if anybody has a copy of the old AndroidRevolution HD 1.1 for Samsung Galaxy note 2 , i would really appericate it. I've been pulling my hair out trying to get ver 3.0 to work, but with no success. I assumed it would be as easy as 1.1 , but i was wong. One of my mistake was not making a backup after the 1.1 installation. So i'm stuck with an old image that atleast has CWM. So if anybody has this.. Thank you in advance!
thats what my repository is for
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1926506
hope it helps bro
This is great,thank you! but the links for the 1.0,1.1, and 2.0 are dead. I really appreciate the effort though. Hoping someone out there has 1.1
then mike must have taken them off...
I have 2.0 and I can Share it via dropbox, but would it help ya?

I can give it a try :fingers-crossed: , but if anything i'll hold on to it for a few unless i can't get 1.1
Why not let us disagnose your problem with 3.0?
AFAIK, 3.0 is much more improved than 1.1.
Here it is, Hope you can get it working. http://db.tt/WBP5iUSZ

Results are in and it WORKS!
With a huge grin on my face: Thank you
as to troubleshooting why 3.0 dosn't work for me, i honestly don't know what to tell you. I spent a lot of time researching it and i'm just dumb founded. If i had a spare note 2 i would try to get to the bottom of it, but alas thats not the case (too scared to brick my phone).
<--- happy once again :victory:

If you go to the main thread, it'll be there. Btw i was able to install 4.0 with no problems at all. Makes me wonder whats so different about 3.0 that makes it fail to install. Anybody have any ideas?

Revolution HD 19.0
Hi all,
First post ! I'm not totally new on this forum, I've been consulting them since my very first Android and Smart phone about 3 years ago when I bought the HTC Desire. I did create account back then in order to communicate with you guys, but I never got the privileges for posting so... I just kept reading.
New account made just now because I wanted to share my experience and maybe post a couple of questions (even tips, who knows) - and it does work now, which is nice ! So... Hello !!
I was an HTC protagonist and hated Samsung for their phones made of Taiwanese plastic and their Apple-like designs and commercial strategies... until my employer introduced a new Android application and provided us with new Samsung Galaxy Note 2 devices. Well - let's just say I was amazed on one hand by the speed and capabilities of my new device and disappointed on the other hand by my beloved HTC One X. It's just that - everything works better ! The only annoying bit was the keyboard, which is far less practical than the one on Sense... but that was easily set right with the installation of AI Keyboard and its Gingerbread theme.
So - my phone had just completed its very first charge after I unpacked it when I decided to root it immediately, install CMW6 recovery and flash it with Revolution HD 19.0 - which worked like a charm !
I'm very happy with this ROM ! My battery lasts clearly longer than that of my colleague's stock devices (about 48h with normal use - including a bit of gaming during number 2's, use of Wifi most of the time and Bluetooth in the car). The response is slightly faster too - for instance that app we use for work works just a little bit faster on mine. Same thing for Youtube, Facebook, Despicable Me (cool game :cyclops: ) and so on...
During the flashing it suggests the installation of some apps - well a few of them weren't installed after flashing although I did select them (I remember Maps was not installed for instance... unfortunately I don't remember what else I had to install manually). That means I'm not entirely sure all the tweaks suggested during the flashing were indeed enabled. I couldn't find any Revolution HD specific section in the settings (like you'd have on a Cyanogen ROM) - and couldn't find any app either to test and play with those tweaks. So can someone tell me if there's a way to find/modify those specific options/tweaks ?
What I also can tell is that one of my colleagues, who received the Note 2 the same day as I did, followed me with the rooting and flashing with his device... He seems to have been less lucky than me - he tells me every once in a while, when waking up the phone, he has no reaction when trying to unlock it (he just uses the screen swipe). He has to put it back to sleep and wake it up again before he can unlock it... Is this something that happens to anyone ?
So there you go - my experience is nearly flawless ! I love this ROM and will continue using it !
By the way : does anyone know how updates work with this ROM ? Do I have to backup my apps and data whenever a new Revolution HD ROM comes out for my phone and restore that backup after upgrade ? Or is there some kind of OTA-like update available ?

Well it was the first thread when searching for Revolution HD on this particular device - for one. And I wasn't allowed replying on the thread from the developer about Revolution HD 19.0.
Had I made a new thread about this, you'd have told me to look up other threads on the same topic before creating a new one...
Anyway, I sincerely apologize if I made your day worse somehow with my irrelevant post in such an old thread... I hope you will forgive me

Here is pictures showing proof of root and recovery
Found root w/o pc
Took the the plunge and tried framaroot,towelroot, then tried Kingroot version 3.5.0.
Its in Chinese so what I did was just hit the green button till it showed a check mark then a blue bar popped up then I hit that then restarted my watch.
Then I saw an app called kinguser so I installed root explorer.
In addition to deleting apps from the system/app using root explorer you have to start in
R/O then delete any app you want , It will ask you if you want to change to r/w and delete say "yes"obviously :good:
Battery removal
The battery is removal, which is good, it would be good if spare batteries were available, I'll let you know if I come across any.
Here's a good video (long vid) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQR6lQR1EbM
WHERE TO BUY? guys (& girls) if you find a good seller, please share the details, as more people buy this watch, we get more support and hacks
I don't about the cheapest** site to buy, but DX.com seems like a safe place to buy and not too expensive, they accepts returns if a fault occurs.
** On AliExpress most sellers are selling clones as iMacwear M7, they are not iMacwear, be aware! However one can argue they are all clones, if you look in DX and GearBest they have similar ones, some are described as 1.3 Ghz, but these sites are not to be trusted.
Recovery?
Has anyone tried to put truesmart twrp 2.8.6.0 on their imacwear m7 using twrp manager?
iMacwear clone comparison
I know this thread is for the iMacwear, but just wanted to make sure people make an informed decision before buying. I found some interesting comparison with other clones on this thread from Jan 2015.
Also there are other clones which people have purchased:
Z01 which is 1.3 GHz, faster clock speed, and Android 4.2. $122 at the moment from DealsMachine. Z01 thread
AOKE Z15 - Android 4.0, but cheaper, but $112 from DX
There are loads more but these two have a thread or mention in XDA. The questions is why would you say that iMacwear M7 is better?. Here are the specs.
Updated
Update with how to for recovery and added pictures:good:
Hi, i'm thinking to buy this smartwatch but stilo struggling to understand in xda threads if it was updated to android 4.4 by the vendor or if One of the 4.4 omate TS firmwares available are supporter on it.
Moreover i'm intersted in smartphone companion app such ad SWAPp link ti get phone notifications on smartwatch, is it or any similar good app working on imacwear m7 on either the 4.2 or 4.4 versione?
And, furthermore, various specs are cinflicting in regards to sensors, FM radio and camera resolution: has it got proximity, compass, accelerometer, gravity and lightvsensors? FM radio yes or not? Is camera 5 or 3 MP interpolated? Is it possibile to unlock the screen with wirst movement if it has accelerometer/gravity sensor?
Thanks for any info or confirmation.

When buying ANY new watch battery, be very very careful of the the thickness of the battery.
1. Some sellers sell any generic battery to make money
2. If it's too thick even by few mm then it will damage the screen and watch.
Best to measure your current battery thickness very precisely (using a digital caliper if you have one) and after you have asked them to double check the thickness, measure it again when you have it before installing it.
Ok, very useful advise. I'll do so before installing any replacement battery in the watch.
My only issue at that time will be to find a caliper
Many thanks again simple1i.

Your welcome.
Once you have the new battery you should be able to compare the approx thickness using your fingers or by using a spirit-level, making sure the surface is level first.
I bought mine about a week ago and it came with 4.4 which is awesome, I like this watch so far. The only issue I guess I have is that I can't seem to get it rooted. I've tried kingroot and towelroot. Every time I trying it ends up restarting my watch. Are there any other root methods?

Did the specs on the site where you bought it from say 4.2? Nice to know that, cause I also could expect mine to arrive with 4.4 despite all the descriptions on shops say 4.2.

Just in case someone messes up their Rom (like me), here is how you flash the original:
Download the newest version from here
You now have the update.zip, now connect your Meizu with your PC
Copy the update.zip to the main folder (internal) of your Meizu
Optional: you might want to do a factory reset, otherwise your gonna flash over your old install. To do a factory reset, go to settings -> about phone -> memory/storage
Reboot and press Vol+ & Power at the same time.
Choose System upgrade and press Start
Wait for it to install, you're done!
In case you're wondering how i messed it up:
i rooted and uninstalled some apps that i thought were not necessary. I somehow managed to mess up the Dialer and a few other things So be careful, you might break something by uninstalling random system apps.
A normal factory reset will not save you, i tried! The uninstalled apps are gone, you have to re-flash the rom.

I now have this phone,I really like it.
But the firmware is very buggy,I hope a fw update is soon.
Notifications seem to stop once an app is not used for a while,for example if you open up Outlook to check your emails it will notify you once you get a new email,the LED notification light will flash,but if you leave it for about 12 hours then it will not notify you of any new emails,even the notification bar will not show your email.
Same with Facebook and Skype.
The phone is very light and I really like Flyme .
Also another thing I found is that scrolling up and down on a webpage is sluggush and slow,just like an Apple phone.
I have owned 3 other Meizu model phones and they all had lightening fast scrolling.
Hi i'm waiting for m2 note,it will arrive next week for sure ..someone tested xposed ?

3rd Party Launcher
Have you tried installing other launchers on the phone (Nova Launcher, Google Now Launcher etc)??? PLease also try and put widgets using the custom launcher and see if it works.. I've found out that the Lenovo K3 Note does not accept widgets using custom launchers.. some users have also reported those launcher crashing

Hello friend.
Did You try to install google installer apk through Meizu App Center?
Install this app and You will have google services and play store. After that You can install google apps through google play.
I have same version (Flyme 4.A) and i did it that way.
I hope You can fix it.
Super!
I'll tell her about it

International version (I) only for international Meizus.
Universal version (A) You can install on both, International and chinesse Meizus. It is the version that is updated more frequently.
Chinesse version (U, C). From chinesse operators.
Have a good day.
And how can I know if the device is international or chinese one?
Only thing I know at moment is the firmware version (4.5A) and the origin (China web shop)
On the 4.5A there is a huge amount of chinese stuff, like google voice and many labels and guide text.
These features were not translated selecting Italian language.. Any solution?
Also, is there a repository to look for the international firmware version and is there some tool to flash it?

I think your version its like mine, you cant install International. I bought mine on china web shop too. Dont try to intall (I) firmware, follow with (A), its ok.
You can uninstall easilly all apps that remains on chinesse. There some features not translated to Spanish too.
Take a look on Spanish forums: Movilesdualsim and Htcmania. Theres lot of information about, some guides too.
I got my Meizu m2 note the other day. Living in Sweden. I'm happy about the phone overall, but one thing that bothers me is that you need to use the "security" app once in a while. Why? If I turn off the security app functions, the phone gets really slow after a while, app drawer lags, etc. Why do we need to use a security app when stock android remains fast even without it?
I really don't want this security app to kill applications etc, apps are not meant to be killed. This is a stupid feature of the phone and it seems I have to live with it, otherwise the phone gets sloooooow.
I can't wait to get it. I bought meizu phone,it's very good
I have problem with this phone and instagram/facebook. So when i wan't to uplad an video to fb or instagram it says it is not supported format. Sent that same video to my tab z and i can upload it. Tried few videos, all the same. Did latest update, hard reset, again.

Just received my Meizu M2 Note last week. One of the best phones I've used. Moving from a Moto x 2013, and definitely liking the upgrade so far. The system seems snappy and there was an OS update waiting for download out of the box. Using with a single Nano SIM and a 32GB Micro SD. The camera is absolutely fantastic, too. Totally smokes the Moto X's (and the Moto's OV sensor is brilliant).
FYI, if you install Google Play using the 'Google Play Installer' from the Meizu App Center you need to over write the Google Play Services with a 64bit version. You have to do this manually with a '448' version. You then need to disable auto updates from within the Meizu App Center otherwise it will overwrite this 64bit version with the previous incorrect version.
So, yeah, really happy so far
Due to the recent price drop for the MCM there has been some renewed interest on fb in the MCM. It took many hours to collect the files and figure out how to get it going right so to save others some time I put an instruction PDF together along with all the files you need.
It's located in a public google drive folder located at:

Thnx Phoenix, yes i bought one today (wednesday delivery) and was surfing around clipping and downloading stuff. about the MOJO. This looks easy enough to use. Thank you for your work already done !
Still in doubt if i want android TV installed or CM as i bought also a android TV remote with it (not even sure if these work but i costs only $4). Love the shields laucher/desktop.
Got one also start play with it now .....look cool and fast.
thanks a lot OP. very helpful.
Excellent work and thanks, @Phoenix4848! Don't forget that there are alternative methods of flashing, and also other ROMs out there. I recommend setting up Fastboot just as a safety net; it can save your bacon if something goes wrong with Flashify. This XDA section is a gold mine of info on the MOJO, but you don't need that link, do you?

Thank you for the feedback. Yes I want to install Remix OS on a different mojo; I won't attempt that until I have Fastboot up.
I created the folder/link for a kodi box support group on fb. The procedure is simple enough for the average user and it's important mojo owners get rooted and SuperSU installed - there is a piece of ransomware that is targeting Android 4 devices. CM 12.1 is stable and user friendly - and it's android 5.1 which will run the newer versions of Kodi.
Adding it here was an afterthought.

Good thought, even if it was after. You don't need fastboot to install RemixOS, or any other one, but if your MOJO is soft-bricked and you can't get into TWRP recovery you can fastboot boot the recovery and flash from that. You can also fastboot flash the recovery. And BTW you do not necessarily need MoDaCo's fastboot, if you're set up for other Droids like I was you can use your existing fastboot setup. I find it easiest to do from Linux.
Yes, I like the Lollipop ROMs myself, a huge advance over KitKat (IMHO they shouldn't have bothered to release KK). And Marshmallow is even better, much to my amazement. I wish I had the extra time to learn to port ROMs myself, there'd be a MM ROM out for the MOJO about now!
Fastboot set up?

How do you set up Fastboot on the MOJO?
Thanks

Due to the recent price drop for the MCM there has been some renewed interest on fb in the MCM. It took many hours to collect the files and figure out how to get it going right so to save others some time I put an instruction PDF together along with all the files you need.
It's located in a public google drive folder located at:

Not a clue. But here's a couple things to try:
1) Call or e-mail Amazon tech support
2) Try a different ROM on the MOJO
Remix maybe?

Probably not a problem with the Mad Catz device probably a problem with the OS. Stock is Android 4.2, CM doesn't seem to work with every player. Remix works with more players but I don't know if it will work with Prime. I'll try later.

It really is isn't it? Once you get over the hurdle of flashing a decent ROM, you're set. Fantastic little gadget. I was very lucky to get it for £60 here in the UK. I don't think I've ever had emulation play so well on anything before.
thank you ...for reply and advice now I will try to flash the new ROM I have to read more instruction.... again thanks

I'm a Prime member but it'll be a couple weeks before I get a real chance to fiddle with it, so if nothing more comes up to prevent it, maybe I'll try it on CM12.1 then. Too many irons in the fire now...
Last year, there was a workaround to play Prime videos via the Dolphin Browser with flash activated. However, ever since Amazon Prime Video dropped Flash support, it's no longer working.
Prime was the reason I bought my first MOJO, ended up selling it when the the workaround stopped working. As of now, I use the (second) MOJO for Kodi and the Youtube App only.
It's truly a shame we can't use it for a service we pay for, especially when they claim on their website that all android systems (>4.0) are supported.
I haven't tried any other custom ROMS since the stock meets my needs for now(minus Prime Video). But please do let us know if it works on the custom ROM you try.

I just got Amazon Video working on the Remix ROM. No tricks, it just works.
Additional note Xposed also works on that ROM. And Paragon should offer NTFS support. I like Remix - next step get a HDD working.
Hear me out, I want to stop being addicted to social media and other crap that is too easy to access on recent phones. So I wanted to go back to some ancient phone that I had in the past and that I liked. My favourite old phone is the Xperia Ray, which is basically the same stuff as the Xperia Arc but much smaller. This phone is not too hard to find refurbished for a decent price, such as on Aliexpress.
The only features I need are mp3 playing, bluetooth streaming (IIRC this phone supports SBC and AD2P so it should work just fine), SD Card for music storage, and calls+sms. I would also like to use Whatsapp or Wire or Signal, but I don't think those support Android 4 anymore.
Anyone still using it as a basic feature phone? Can you use Whatsapp, Wire or Signal on it and does Bluetooth work well with recent headsets?
Let me reply to my own question. I bought the Xperia Ray refurbed on Aliexpress and it actually arrived in excellent conditions, it was almost as good as new. On its stock firmware, it's barely usable, but on 4.4 CyanogenMod it's fully usable. Whatsapp works well, and you can watch youtube videos with NewPipe legacy in 144p, not very appealing but if you are reading this you probably want to cure your social addiction. Other social media crap doesn't even work but then again I used youtube 99% of the time. Most apps don't work well, for example, the phone is unusable as GPS nav, so I have to keep a modern phone in the car in case of emergency (and swap the sim). The built in mail app from CM works well, and so does the music player, but I wanted to install the old Walkman ported from the Xperia S, which also works decently. Bluetooth in the car works for basic streaming with no metadata, but on CM it works like on a normal phone with metadata and everything.
The screen is a bit yellowed but I don't mind. The battery looks original and lasts around a day, but then again you will not be using it too much because it's not compatible with most apps.
Hello!
I just had the same idea that you had and wanted to rescue my old Xperia Ray, a phone that I loved, and make it usable too (Whatsapp is enough for me). The problem is that I am finding it hard to upload to Android 4 as most links and webs are now broken, and I don't even know how to run CyanogenMod... Could you please tell me if you followed any available tutorial or have the files needed for this?
Thank you very much!

If you've never run a custom rom on the Ray before, you'll need to unlock the bootloader first. Some instructions can be found here: https://github.com/LegacyXperia/Wiki/wiki/Installing-LegacyXperia-for-Dummies
You can find CyanogenMod and LineageOS roms for the Ray here: https://archive.org/download/LegacyXperia_SEMC_2011. Look for roms with "urushi" in the filename.
If you're going to install a Marshmalllow or Nougat rom, you'll need to follow this guide: https://github.com/LegacyXperia/Wiki/wiki/Installing-Marshmallow
I decided to use the LineageOS Nougat rom and posted some thoughts over here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...cyanogenmod-13-0-builds.3323975/post-85992081
Hope that helps!

Thank you very much! The problem is that I've seen that my Ray says "Bootloader Unlock Allowed: No". So I guess that I will have to find some other phone on aliexpress or second hand.

Unfortunately, it looks like you would need to unlock the bootloader with a paid service. See:
