Ecoo Aurora Plus 3GB, MTK6753 (different processor) - Device Reviews and Information

Hi there,
This thread is to collect the thoughts for this particular device. It is an Ecoo Aurora Plus (3GB) model but is also the variant which has a different processor (MTK6753).
Sadly there aren't many roms for this device yet. I was able to use the following roms with success:
(I cannot yet post links, so here are the breadcrumbs to the exact pages on "needrom" dot com.
TWRP
Home » - OTHER » E-F-G-H » ECOO » E04 Lite MT6753 TWRP
Android 5.1
Home » - OTHER » E-F-G-H » ECOO » ECOO E04 3GB+ MT6753
All of the important stuff works (from my perspective). I prefer something leaner, so I am waiting for a different rom to be available, but so far this one is pretty good. It was especially handy since you can't find the stock rom anywhere, and also when I bricked my phone and just needed something that worked.
Do you have this device? What rom/apps are you running on it?
Note: There were annoying ads appearing, which I was able to remove by using a different Launcher. The Ecoo Launcher seemed to be the source of the ads.

Hi I'm waiting for it, it's at the custom office now and I should get it soon in about a week I hope.
I've heard on an Italian forum of another guy who got a bug, usual on mtk 6753, with whatsapp crashing the camera when used from within whatsapp. Did you find the same issue with that rom?
Let's keep this thread alive if any updated rom will hopefully come.

bugs bugs bugs
I got mine a couple of days ago, with the latest 5.1 update. I got some bugs that are really annoying. The screen locks by itself randomly, the dropdown settings tab 50% of the time doesnt dropdown and the 3d performance is poor. Antutu full score on mine is a little over 36000, but as i said 3d is terrible (7fps at marooned scene and 4fps at garden scene). Also battery life is terrible.....
I dont know if i just got a bad piece or if they are all rom related, but i am willing to try a few roms before i decide to send it on a 3 month warranty trip back to china...
If i didnt have these bugs, i would say that this is a truly great phone and not just for its price range.
All help would be appreciated guys.

Crashing Camera apps - YES. I have tried many camera apps from the app store. They ALL crash the camera when taking a photo. The preview/viewfinder works, but when i try to take the picture, the camera freezes. Now I am using the ROM mentioned in the original post, and the camera app that comes installed with that ROM works.
Man I REALLY hate the pictures this phone takes.

Hmm. I have bugs, certainly, but I don't have those bugs you mentioned. I BELIEVE I did have the random locking screen bug when the phone was brand new, but I have not had that since I switched ROM. I haven't tried a 3d game yet.
Did you switch Launcher? I highly recommend it. It may even clear up some bugs. Keep us posted.
Yes it is still a great phone. We will get a great ROM one day.

I tried the Miui Home launcher with no luck concerning the bugs. Beautiful launcher though, but didnt keep it because for some reason it didnt show my google contacts although it was synced..???
So back to stock, and waiting for a solution, if it ever comes along..

Where do you get the stock rom? did you do a backup?
About the launcher, I had to remove the "Ecoo Launcher" because of ads (not really bugs). I did this with "Titanium backup" after I rooted my phone. Maybe give Nova launcher a try? Not really for bugs, just for a smooth experience.

Yeah, me too. Being a developer, I was hoping to visit the subject of making an AOSP one myself. Haven't had the time. I read that for MTK processors it's not so easy as MediaTek did not release the chip's "source code" (or something like that). But I'm curious about how other MTK ROMs exist.
I was thinking maybe its worth PORTING a ROM from a different phone with the same proc? Say and Elephone P8000 (MTK6753).

Hi, nothing happening yet with this phone? It just arrived to me and I will be testing it after a full charge soon. In meanwhile as for the camera bug used from whatsapp, a workaround has been found by Enabling the flash led after you open it from wa; it should work.

Still no love on needrom com. I tried your flash workaround and it works! I tried it with what's app and open camera. Good job!

Got some love on needrom. A little. A user who has made some roms for the MTK6752 version asked someone for some information about his device. I stepped in and offered to help. He asked me to take screencaps of my device info using MobileUncle. I have done this and sent it to him, but that was in a PM. For everyone's sake, here is a link to the compiled screencap of the Ecoo E04 3gb MTK6753 Device Info.

Try to make "something" for Ecoo e04 mt6753
Hi to all
Lately I am trying to help the owners of the Ecoo e04 mt6753. Today I have built a twrp 3.0.0.0 for your device ... if everything will works well ... then I will try to build a rom for your device. I need someone to help me to do some test about twrp ... it is because I am a owner of an Ecoo e04 mt6752 ... so I can't test the twrp on my device. I am not sure that twrp will works well ... BUT ... if everything will be all right ... then I will start to work on the rom project. In case anyone's interested ... please give me a feedback ... so I will send you the link of my twrp test by private message.
Regards

Yes please, count me in for the twrp

I have one last favor I would ask to you : please reboot your device into TWRP 3.0.0.2 recovery and make a screenshot of the main menu. Then please send me that screenshot to me by private message. I need that screenshot to publish the twrp on Needrom.
Thanks in advance.

Hello Friend. Are you sure that you have a working recovery? I tested the recovery on your Ecoo E04 3GB + tried different ways of installation . No one returned no results .

Good luck with this. It's great to see that there are still some people who believe in a 2.2 sense rom for the hero
when the rom is tested a bit i will add it to my rom database
dude, you built a rom! congrats on being so bleeding edge bonesy!
I'm impressed with your guts
um, don't take this the wrong way, but I'm not about to try it just yet... ;-) It's just because I need my phone and it's camera etc for daily use. I have faith in you - you've been messing with this stuff longer than I have probably dude and your flashing instructions are VERY clear which is comforting.
I'm really impressed that you persevered like this though man!
cheers

Like I said gonna give it a try when at work. Great work man. And ill report back in here all my findings.

hi there!
I'm a bit puzzled how to revert to pre-MTD changes state.
I am willing to test this rom, but I would like to have an option to nandroid back without much of a problem. I read through the topic bonesy linked, but haven't found a simple answer/solution.
I hope I could help some more, at least confirm bugs or something.
Cheers!

EDIT:
Is it as simple, as flashing "remove" zip?
Nearly, you will need to re-flash recovery too, Through fastboot..
Im struggling at the moment as i have 2 different builds on 2 different computers.As soon as i can get to my work computer i can carry on with it all
Call me stupid but is CustomMTD really necessary ? This rom can't work as all roms do? I've flashed it without MTD method and I am stuck on first splash-screen (mine says HERO on black background).
BTW ty for working on a Froyo Sense port for Hero GSM
omg Ninpo is involved, <3 him (nogay)
I will try when it's a little bit better ^^ and can be used for 1 day at school

@bonesy. how are you hoping the development of this ROM will be community driven? Would you like us to simply try it and report bugs (no different to most other ROMS I think) or would you like us to get down and dirty with code wherever possible?
Im just a regular user but i'd like to help with the development of this rom. if i was pointed in the right direction I would even be willing to learn about how to develop this rom!
anyway good effort for starting on this (I expect, long) journey

Well took a quick look at this. Will try to devout some more time over the next few days and see if it'll get me anywhere.
What I got for now is:
a) There is quite a lot of "junk" on the system partition here, after a short cleanup it fits very nicely without the MTD patch .
b) libwebcore.so fixes the browser crashes and most likely the markets too.
If I have time tomorrow I'll try to give the microphone a shot, cause this is the most critical problem at this point - whats the point of having a telephone you even talk to...
Hopefully I'll also release something for testing tomorrow...
Thanks Erasmux, i would have gtalked you today but been at work and the boss was in...so no devvin on the work pc lol.Got market and browser fixed as you say and also rotate and i think light sensor.I removed nabservice.apk as it only FC'd.Would be great if we can arrange a time over the W/end to talk
Opened a new thread for "my" version of this port:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1026699
Please note, that the amount of effort I will be able on such a (closed source) ROM is limited. I mainly what to see how far I can get this, especially in terms of hardware support, with my past experience.
So its up to you if you want to continue to keep your version going in parallel. If you do (or anyone else), please feel free to reuse anything from "my" ROM....

[ROM] MIUI Port

This ROM is in no way suitable for daily use and is only shared so that other fellow developers can take a look and maybe provide fixes to one or multiple things on the "not working" list.
Take it as a very early proof of concept.
ROM DOWNLOAD: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358554238
What I did to get this far...
1. I took the MI3W miui-germany ROM
2. I unpacked the MI3W's ROM
3. I unpacked the boot.img of the MI3W ROM (zImage, dt.img, ramdisk)
4. I patched the fstab.qcom and init*.rc files to match the Find 7a
5. I unpacked the latest OmniROM for Find7a
6. I unpacked the boot.img of OmniROM (zImage, dt.img, ramdisk)
7. I copied zImage and dt.img from OmniROM's extracted boot.img into MI3W's extracted boot.img
8. I repacked the MI3W boot.img
9. I bundled the MI3W system partition with the modified MI3W boot.img and uploaded it onto the internet for someone else to iron out the remaining bugs
What seems to work...
*) Basic Operation (MIUI apps, status bar, well what you would expect really)
*) Bluetooth
*) Wired Headset / Bluetooth Audio
*) RIL / Mobile Data
*) GPS
What doesn't work... yet...
*) WiFi (there seems to be some issues with wcnss / pronto / prima, this one is bad...)
*) Random Reboots / Blackscreen Glitches (from what kmsg tells me it seems to be related to wcnss, aka. WiFi drivers causing a critical error in kernel every once in a while, fix WiFi and this error will fix itself)
*) Speaker Audio
*) Rotation Sensor (and probably others)
*) Vibration
*) Skyline Notification Light
*) NFC

Great work
hey there mrcoldbird,
great work so far...keep it up..will definately help support you on this when it is up and running..i am not a dev but if you need someone to just bug report i am there for you,will keep my eyes n ears peeled on the thread and as soon as it's near ready i will flash and help you anyway i can...thank you for all your hard work so far
Right now we need developers involved in this. We know the countless obvious bugs.
Just have to fix them.
Awesome work. Thanks bird. Any chance you want to try lewa os while you're at it. I personally think it is better. I imagine just how busy you are but just wanted to throw it out there
Porting really should only be done when there is no source available for said ROM.
For unicorn a source rebuild might be better.

Lewa OS is extremely similar to MIUI and that is why I even bothered to mention it. I know the developer is having some trouble with MIUI so I thought it would be useful and helpful to mention Lewa as it might be a project that will help the development of either or rom.
Please don't take a blunt tone with me (if that's what it was) as it only makes you look arrogant. Taking in to account our post and thanks scores it is quite clear who has contributed in a more positive way towards XDA. On that note; you might also want to thank MrColdbird in the OP for his contribution, which you have not done as of yet but you seem to be poking your nose in to the thread
That is all
Edit* I apologise MrColdbird if my suggestion was unwarranted.

Actually I've got 99% of the issues resolved already by using a different port-rom in conjunction with a few OmniROM injects.
At the moment only the proximity sensor (screen off on holding the phone to your ear) and nfc are broken, lte works, but needs to be reselected every time the phone reboots via the service menu (dialer code).
Sadly, I'm not allowed to share that (quite nicely working) ROM just yet as I switched port-bases to a unreleased chinese one in favor of the MI3W port-base.
Until that chinese author releases his first public port base-rom I'm kinda bound by the promise I gave not to unveil things early.
Just hang in there, it shouldn't be long until you guys have MIUI on Find7a... all I can tell you is that it works nicely and without any critical flaws I can see except those mentioned above (which we will get fixed too eventually).

Android O - LOS 15 - for our Moto G5+ !

Hey, i just found this with google!
I am not responsible for anything good or bad that happens, i just share what i found.
http://cloud.vache-android.com/Moto/tmp/o/
I tested it as second rom with multirom. it boots but its not a daily driver. but its nice for trying out android o.
sooo as the sh#t storm began. i share this for those who want to test android 8. nothing more.
THIS IS A TEMP BUILD, so dont expect anything work nice and smooth! its not a daily driver
Here a screenshot
I just found camera not working. what else, have no idea. justtry yourself
Tempted to try this with MULTIROM...
Hopefully it will be stable enough soon as it seems to be already by what you're saying.
Also, I was just joking, it's cool that people got to find the builds. Earlier testing
Please remember, if what you have to say is rude or disrespectful, don't post it in Xda, leave that junk on FaceBook or other social media.
If you don't like or agree with what was posted, or you believe something violated Xda rules, report it, and let Moderation Staff take care of it, or simply move on.
Posting rude comments places you in violation of the rules.
Thanks for your cooperation.
Booted it up just a bit ago
not usable at all. No Sim Card, bunch of FC, no connection to camera. about what you would expect for a early nightly. OS looks nice though, and it suns smooth from what it can run. Looks promising!
These results were with the 29-Aug-2017 13:14 build. it's the latest that I can see.

yeah its realy not useable but nice to try just for seeing what android o looks like.
can recommend to install it as second rom with multirom.
I'm going to try the builds every few days and report back here.
Going to start comparing files between as an unofficial changelog :V
EDIT:
Alright, Today's build seems to have extra files for Sensors and RIL.

Is there a ROM that just works?

I used to be on Pure Nexus and obviously that hasn't been updated in a long time. I went on two different new ROM's that supposedly have no bugs and I had tons of bugs after following the instructions explicitly.
Is there a custom rom that actually is bug free the widgets work, the screen turns on without lag, and Google Assistant works???
I have tried a few roms, but personally I feel that non other rom has a better battery life and overall smoothness than the stock rom, just root it with Magisk and enjoy.
Loving Resurrection Remix with EXnoshadez Kernel and Xposed Greenify. Great battery life. I've tried Firehound, Benzo, Pixeldust, and Lineage. I'm preferring RR then Lineage as a close second.

Why do you prefer RR over Firehound?
I'm using Firehound and I find it solid and has all the extras I need. I was thinking of trying RR, but there seems to be a lot of bugs mentioned on the XDA thread.
Been using RR for a few days and doesn't have any major issues at all. Everything's been working fine.

I used to be on Pure Nexus and obviously that hasn't been updated in a long time. I went on two different new ROM's that supposedly have no bugs and I had tons of bugs after following the instructions explicitly.
Is there a custom rom that actually is bug free the widgets work, the screen turns on without lag, and Google Assistant works???

RR has INSANE battery life, barely drains even if there are 3 audio mods installed, I would suggest using that. There is only one bug that is going to be fixed
Anything wrong with stock in particular? The monthly updates are prompt and basically effortless without needing to flash vendors or wait for the ROM developer to update. If you're not on stock (nonroot, locked BL), you run the risk of one day not being able to use apps that utilitize SafetyNet in case you use financial apps. Magisk has worked well in providing ways to circumvent it in a timely manner, but it is not guaranteed to always be able to bypass every update to SafetyNet, which the developer has mentioned.
ROMs aren't going to change the chipset magically to a newer one and increase performance substantially or add mAhs of battery to double the battery life. Android has matured since the days of using ChevyNo1 or P3Droid kernels on Sholes.
This is the conversation I am seeking. I am not going to say what ones I have used but Maps, widgets, WiFi calling, black screen when turning on. I want to avoid those situations.

Not sure, don't use it, the mod is releasing an update fixing this today or tmrw, just stay on the rom you're on until he updates

I just decided to try all the publicly released ROMs. I was on Firehound before i switched to RR. I still have my TWRP backup of it. RR just hasn't given me a reason to go back.

IDK man, I see all that troubleshooting you're going through trying to get the device to run normally through the Pixel section. Is it really worth all that just to be able to change some cosmetics?
Stock will give you zero issues and save you the headache of what you're going through. Wouldn't it be nice to never have to worry about plugging into a computer to update, formatting or data, or spend so much time trying to get a device working? While at the same time, you get the updates as soon as they are available.

I wish mods would get rid of this guy. All of your "questions" are absurd and its annoying to see your profile pic spammed throughout all the threads.

OK folks. I want to apologize for my flooding of the forums attempting to repair my situation last week. Yes, I have been flashing for a long time without real complications. I haven't been on my ADHD meds for a while and that did not help me with the drama last week. Unfortunately my world like most of you is in my phone, I was panicked. Sorry about that.
Needless to say I needed other eyes on what I was doing for perspective sake. I went to my PC tech, luckily had personal flashing experiences with Android, Pixel even. We worked on it for about 6 hours in total. He couldn't get RR to work.
The issue was this after following the OP instructions. Once in the system I couldn't get the WiFi to connect with the phone, not being able to download whatever the phone was looking for. Google play services kept FC'ing. Google TTS kept FC'ing as well. I don't know if there is a fix or a forthcoming fix for this abnormal issue. I deleted data from the apps that were FC'ing and other Google that might be related. PS: not a RR issue I had this same issue with Benzo)
Unfortunately, we didn't save anything from the old RR setup because I couldn't be without a phone for another day. Any constructive thoughts would be welcomed.
I shall attempt to reinstall RR at some point to see if it works, or to get data to help the devs understand what might have happened or might had happened.
I am back on stock, not loving it that is for sure.

Question oos cam for lineageos

Hi there,
Have installed crdroid and was loving it until I realized there is no way to run Authenticator by google on my phone (without gapps nor nothing of ****ty bloatware), only reliable apps.
So decided to install lineage as in my previous op7t pro, but the cam is a garbage... so searched for gcam and downloaded 2 apps without success on running any of them.
So there is a way to have stock camera on lineage os?
Appreciate your help! Thanks in advance
Hi there, I'm facing the same problem. So far I found this version works GCam_8.1.101_Wichaya_V1.4 (Source: https://www.getdroidtips.com/google-camera-oneplus-9-pro/) and the 7 Pro Stock version (you need the Gallery App as well) that I found on this forum: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/apk-oneplus-camera-for-any-a11-custom-rom.4350205/

thanks for your help, however on the last link it shows the apk is functional for any android 11 custom rom
but what about android 12 roms?
thanks in advance
Well from what I've learned, you can read this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/oos-cam-in-lineage-os.4001895/ or this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-app-on-lineageos-18-1.4414821/#post-86567423 - in this thread there are links to others too or you install a different ROM that comes with [OOS Cam], people suggested StagOS.
Maybe this helps too: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-app-on-lineageos-18-1.4414821/#post-86567423 but there's people complaining about the Camera too - just read or use the search fuction, it's a long thread Good luck!

hahha u almost read my mind, I decided finally to install stagos and even considering this is beta android 13 yet, it runs smooth and no big problems so far
the only problem I've seen in this rom is that ivoox (podcast app) crashed a bit after I open it but then runs without problem
Nice! I'd be interested in your general experience with it (and with the Cam especially) as I think about doing the same

morning!
results after first night: went to bed with 100% battery, after 8 hr sleeping with my phone on airplane mode the battery still is at 100%
this is a great step imo because my op7t pro with same conditions usually was 95-96%, so weird for me
That's great! And the camera runs smoothly?

of course!!
3 hr ago I ran out of battery, after 40 hr of last full charge and around 4 hr screen 120 hz auto brightness
Great, thanks for keeping me updated! I just try to think about my last charge before this one today to get a reference with my de-bloated Oxygen OS. I think it was also about that amount of time ago but I don't remember perfectly. I will pay attention to it now. And I guess I will just try StagOS eventually as I'm very curious!
