In every game I have played its lagged, I decided to download some apps that showed fps and it shows applications keep varying from 60fps, then seemingly becoming locked at 50 moments later. Can anyone download an app called fps test, it has an orange circle and report back please.
This.is.normal!
It cannot be a locked 60 fps framerate. This is Android we are talking about, not iOS.
Its literally not normal though, I have a galaxy s6 and it is locked to a solid 60fps, its not an intensive app, its literally a 2d bouncing ball
Ultimately I decided that I was very dissatisfied with the performance of the HTC 10 due to this, so it's going back for a refund.
50fps FIX HERE!
Kudos to @ivicask , this issue is fixed in the latest PnP mod test build:

Problem solved.
It wasn't a particular game, it was any game I played. Especially noticeable in 2D games. I've never had this problem on the galaxy s6 or any other phone for that matter. If you want to check for me to see if its the same on all htc 10s, then download an app called fps test, it has an orange circle icon and report back what it says.

It was about 57-58 at start or with touch screen interaction(hold your finger on the screen). If you leave it be it will be throttled down to 50fps, seemingly a power saving feature(or a bug).

It seems like a very annoying power saving feature if that is truly what it is, it seems to accomplish making things feel less fluid.
Fps test app is clearly not optimised for HTC 10. Download 3DMark for more accurate results. Run on your S6 and HTC10, you'll soon leave your S6 behind. Or use your S6 to play games on the go and buy a PC/console for proper gaming.

I've just found out that enabling high performance mode in developer options can lift the 50fps lock. Give it a try

This is not the case I'm afraid. It seems that HTC used fps lock to preserve battery life. On the contrary, HTC "optimized" for famous benchmarks like 3dmarks by loosing throttling policies.
I consider locking GPU at 50fps on a 60hz refresh rate screen is kind of a bad move.
You might need to look at CleanSlate kernel, if you are rooted You will be amazed.
Thank you for your response, yeah enabling high performance mode does seem to remove the 50fps however there are still some stutters (none of gs6 although running custom rom), and high performance mode will eat my battery. Don't suppose you know if any custom roms fix this issue?

If you root a htc and install the custom kernel, is there a way to return to stock without htc knowing that it has been rooted or whatever?

They cannot discover that you have rooted your phone when you return fully to stock. But they can see that your bootloader was unlocked. You can always lock it, but it wont say "locked", it will say "relocked". That shouldnt be a problem for warranty purposes imo.
I have the same problem.my HTC 10 most of the time locked at 50 fps(when I release finger from screen) and it is very unusual in flagships such as gs7 or gs6.
Maybe HTC give an update to solve this issue
I also tried high performance option but it takes a lot of battery charge.
Is there anyone else have this problem?any suggestion? I don't wanna root my device for guarantee purposes
Someone please report this issue to HTC support.

You can disable PnPMgr if you don't want to use high performance mode to achieve the same effect. PnPMgr is HTC's proprietary power manager, disabling it may have an impact on battery life as well but looking at stats the difference isn't that huge in my case.
To disable pnpmgr, you'll need root and download a free app called "Kernel Toolkit". In the app there's a switch called "Pnpmgr" under the tab "Power", disable it.
@andy010101
long breath, here goes
HTC unlike all the previous, really put a leash on the HTC 10 SoC, remember "powerbotics" in their marketing? well it really means is Snapdragon 820 cripple, yet non of the s820 devices like G5/Mi5/OP3 suffer from this, HTC probably did this to squeeze some juice out of battery but don't we have powersaver modes for this? so why cheat...
this is whats going on stock HTC 10:
- The fourth BIG core, out of the two faster cores (which also benefit from bigger cache) will be disabled (via task migration) once battery is around 35c (which is the nominal operation temp anyway) so most of the time unless dead cold the device will be running without one of the big kryo cores, this is noticable in a multithreaded game like Dead Effect 2 which suddenly drops from 60fps range to 30 in 5 minutes
- The GPU governor is a lot more tolerant than it is on the OP3/G5/Mi5 s820 devices, its noticable in GPU loving game like Skyforce where it refuses to ramp up the GPU clocks and so the games runs at 30fps when it should be 60, also Suicide squad high graphics mode is another example
- HTC also locks to 50fps when they user is not interacting, which is discussed and sorted on this page, its a unique issue visible in games like Smash hit or games with offscreen controls
solutions for performance:
- Unlock, flash TWRP, flash EX kernel, the settings in EX are already tweaked to fix the CPU and GPU problems
- Even more you can flash the PNP mod and select performance profile (also i worked with the dev on this) to further unleash your 10 and even improve things like multitasking and standby battery life
just note if you decide to flash both EX and the mod you can set EX kernel min performance level to 0 in order for the pnp mod to take over (discussed here), otherwise without the pnp mod you need to leave EX min performance at the default 60
CleanSlate kernel is said to have the same fixes as well
happy modding the difference is day versus night in performance, Dead Effect 2, Skyforce and Suicide squad will all run in sweet 60 up to 30 minutes without a blink
If you are a stock only user and don't like what you just heard, then by all means take it to HTC, because they really deserve a nuke for this ****
HERE's THE FIX!
50fps FIX HERE!

Review (Part 1)
Introduction
This is the CUBOT Cheetah 2.
Hardware
Just like the previous model, Cheetah (not 2), this successor is powered by a Mediatek MT6753 SOC clocked at 1.3GHz, with the same Samsung 13MP Rear Camera and Sony 8MP Front Camera. Also the Storage Configuration hasn't been changed, 3GB of RAM and 32GB of RAM are still there. Maybe a SOC upgrade (MT6753 to MT6750) would have been appreciated.
Unboxing
Packaging comes with some accessories: 1x Type-C USB Cable, 1x 5V/1A USB Charger, 1x Quick Start Guide, 1x Compliance Regulation booklet, 1x TPU Cover and the Smartphone (of course). A screen protector is already applied. Unlike previous CUBOT devices, this doesn't come with a Glass Screen Protector.
Based on the CUBOT website, this is the third MT6753 device launched by the company. Compared to the previous CheetahPhone, this one hasn't been made in collaboration with CheetahMobile (luckily), and doesn't use anymore an Unibody Metal Chassis (this is a downgrade). As you can see below, they kept the Metal Chassis though. It is solid, with Antenna Bands matching the device color.
It is 15.37x7.50x0.93cm, with thin bezels. It weights 194g, slightly heavy but not too much. It is still comfortable to use and the included TPU cover makes the weight even more uniform.
On the front side there is the common 2.5D Curved Display and the upper front side of the device features the standard set of things: an Huge Front-Facing Camera (Sony IMX219, consider that most low-end devices use this as a Rear Camera sensor, impressive), an Earpiece, and the Sensors hole that includes Light, Proximity and Gesture Sensors. The Notification LED is here, but supports only two colors. (Red and Green)
I won't talk about the Notification LED in the Software paragraph because it isn't customizable at all. Here you can see some real-life photos.
On the lower front side there is the Touch Keys area, with Menu, and Back touch buttons, together with the Fingerprint Sensor, positioned on the Home Physical Button. No Backlight is here.
On the back side there is the Removable Rear Cover, made of Plastic and similar to those used by Samsung on the Galaxy S3 & S4.
The upper rear side of the device features the Camera Sensor supported by a Dual-LED Flashlight (not Dual-Tone) and the CUBOT logo.
On the lower rear side there are some Logos and Words about the Device's Certifications, nothing else. The Speaker is positioned on the lower side of the device.
Device
Screen
Something that deserves a medal for this device is the Screen. It is perfect, providing one the best Color Accuracy i have ever seen on a FHD IPS screen while keeping the Brightness super-high. Well Done CUBOT!
Light Sensor supports smooth light changes, this is its maximum brightness. This is the brightest 5.5" FHD IPS screen i have ever tested.
Viewing Angles are as good as you would expect from an IPS screen, even a bit better thanks to the high brightness.
Camera
Featuring a Samsung 3L8 13MP sensor, with PDAF, the Photos Quality is unfortunately average. The amount of noise is too high to get a sharp photo, but there is something positive though. Colors are not washed-out or inaccurate, they are Natural without any over-sharpening.
"HDR off" on the left and "HDR on" on the right. HDR photos seems to be a bit better, but the amount of noise is also higher.
Photos taken on medium light conditions are decent.
Macro Photos are not so great, it seems that there are some focus issues with near objects.
The Dual-LED Flashlight provides enough light to take some nice shots, bright and warm enough to not damage any color.
As regards Video Recording, 1080p videos are average, still noisy just like Photos. I hope to see some improvements with upcoming OTA updates.
Front Camera is a Wide-Angle Sony IMX219 (Native 8MP, interpolated to 13MP), something rare to find. Consider that this sensor is used by many devices as a Rear Camera sensor, so expect some high quality photos here. Maybe this is the cheapest Selfie-Camera Device? It might be.
Audio
Speaker's Quality could have been better, at maximum volume the sound gets distorced, maybe this is a bit too much high for the Speaker. No issues with the Earpiece though, perfect while in-call and to play Whatsapp Voice Messages.
As regards the Microphone, it is calibrated for any kind of usage, everyone was able to hear me correctly. There is no Secondary Microphone for Noise Suppression though.
GPS
The MT6753 SOC is pretty known to have good GPS reception, with no issues that are present on newer SOCs such as MT6750/MT6755, and this test confirms its glory. GPS Signal is high, with no accuracy issues. I won't test it indoors this time because it is pretty clear that the Antenna is great enough to get some GPS signal even in difficult conditions.
Telephony, Mobile Network & WiFi
CUBOT, like some other brands, provides full european bands support, with 4G Band 20 (some other Chinese Smartphones don’t have it). 4G Signal Reception doesn't seem to have any issue, stable and with decent speed.
3G Signal Reception is excellent, actually I never managed to get connected to the 2G Network of my Mobile Operator because there was always some 3G Signal available. (luckily there are no coverage issues here)
As already said, 4G Network Speed is decent, even though it highly depends on your Mobile Operator and mine isn’t pretty good, the result is equal with other properly working devices i have reviewed. 3G Network Speed is, as always, pretty low even on H+, not a Device Fault though.
WiFi 5GHz is supported here, working sufficiently well with my 802.11n Dual-Band Connection. It isn't able to get full speed (100/20), but it is still a bit higher than 2.4GHz speed. Connected to 150MBps, i might have expected some higher speeds.
Battery Life
I have measured the real battery capacity using my USB Tester, and it seems that the real battery capacity a bit lower than the declared one. (declared 3000mAh, real ~2850mAh).
This is the Geekbench Battery Test, the battery runtime is pretty negative for a 3000mAh battery, i hope to see some improvements here.
https://browser.primatelabs.com/battery3/391930
As regards battery charging times, the 5V/1A charger isn't a good choice to handle 3000mAh batteries so expect more than 2 hours of Charging Time. It took, more or less, 2 hours and 45 minutes here.
Software
Unlike the previous CheetahPhone that was full of, let's say, crap from CheetahMobile, this Cheetah 2 is completely clean. Running Android 6.0, with some usual Mediatek Additions, it runs smooth enough to handle basic tasks but due to its Full HD screen, some occasional lags are here. That's why an MT6753 isn't sufficient this time, Mediatek claims that only the MT6753T is made to be used with 1080p screens.
Something different from the other last-gen Mediatek Devices is the software, only the Scheduled Power On/Off feature is present here. Even though the Double-Tap to Wake would have been useful, this is a nice step forward to not use Mediatek Crap.
Almost all Sensors are present, Magnetometer/Compass and Gyroscope, with no Barometer. Well Done CUBOT!
As already said before, even though there is a Notification LED, it isn't customizable at all.
The Fingerprint Scanner is probably the best one i have ever tried, no accuracy issues found. I managed to unlock the screen everytime, perfect. As regards the unlock speed, it is almost instant, not lightning fast.
Review (Part 2)
Benchmarks
I have used 3DMark, AndroBench, Antutu Benchmark, Epic Citadel, GeekBench 4, GFXBench, PCMark (Work 2.0, Computer Vision, Storage & Work 1.0) and Vellamo to stress the device to the limit. I won’t test Games or Video Playback because there are already some related tests included in these Benchmark suites.
3DMark – GPU Performance is mediocre, the Full HD doesn't help here.
AndroBench – eMMC Performance is great as regards the Reading Speed, decent for the Writing Speed.
Antutu Benchmark – I won’t say a lot about this benchmark, this isn’t as reliable as others. I’m providing this just for benchmarks lovers.
Epic Citadel – 3D performance isn't so good, the Mali-720MP3 struggles to handle 1080p Games.
GeekBench – CPU Performance is nearly as good as other CPUs with the same configuration (8x Cortex-A53).
CPU
Compute
GFXBench – There are no chances to see good results here, overkill for the device.
PCMark – Standard MT6753 Performance here, with some decreased scores due to the 1080p screen.
Work 2.0
Computer Vision
Storage
Work 1.0
Vellamo – Nothing to say about it, decent.
Well, even though i am happy to see that CUBOT used a Full HD screen on this device, i would have expected a better SOC because, as you can clearly see, the old MT6753 GPU is just not enough to handle this screen resolution.
Conclusions
I'm happy to see that CUBOT doesn't cooperate anymore with CheetahMobile, providing the best Android Experience even though the Performance isn't great. Except this issue, everything else is just fine. Great Screen, Fantastic Fingerprint Scanner and Solid Build Quality.
I hope to see some improvements with the next OTA updates to improve Battery Life and Camera Quality.
So, do I recommend it? Yes, unless you manage to find something better at the same price.
Pros:
Superb Screen Brightness
Excellent Fingerprint Sensor
Solid Metal Chassis
WiFi 5GHz Support
Notification LED (even though a bit limited)
Gyroscope & Magnetometer Sensors
Cons:
Camera Quality needs to be improved
Low GPU Performance
Slow Charging Times (1A maximum, no Quick Charge)

my 50 cents:
Review Cubot Cheetah 2 5.5 "FHD MT6753 1.3 GHz 3 / 32Gb - Fingerprint- 3000mAh
Packaging, Content, Aesthetics:
The packaging is a classic from a year now for Cubot, on the back there is a label with the model and on the low side of the IMEI numbers.
Box contents: Smartphone incorporated in its transparent silicone cover, further covered with a plastic seat cover with double-sided adhesive, 1 Power Adapter with USB 5V 1A White EU socket, 1 USB cable Type-C, an instruction manual and the "Compliance Certification Regulatory ".
- External dimensions of the smartphone average of 5.5inches ChinaPhone "; it measures 153.6 x 75 x 8.5mm for a little over weight 189g.
- High quality construction, the materials return a good feeling to the touch, the metallic finish of the side frame gives strength and elegance, the back cover plastic still fulfills its purpose well although it is very smooth and slippery (and in blue version retains much fingerprints).
- On the right side we find the volume rocker on the top and the power button slightly lower.
- On the upper side we find the only audio jack; on the underside there is the Type-C USB jack, the microphone in the left grid and the speaker in the right one.
- In the back top center there is the 16-megapixel camera from Samsung S5k3l8 13Mpixel f / 2.2 (16Mpixel interpolated), slightly to the side of the double LED flash (not dual tone).
- On the front we find at the top the capsule headset, 8Mpixel camera Sony IMX219 f / 2.8, the brightness / proximity sensors, the notification LED (colors red and green); down the central physical key features of footprints and the soft outer side touch buttons to the screen reader, but not backlit ..
- Outer pane with pre-applied film; It has a rounded 2.5D machining but the film does not have a good oleophobic treatment and thus holds the fingerprints and is quite reflective.
- Display brightness and excellent viewing angles; LCD FHD IPS OGS screen with good color fidelity, excellent sharpness for the category, good white balance and possibility of adjustment through Miravision menu.
- Touch sensitive and equipped with multi-touch 5-touch, quick writing and with swipe feature that you type with two fingers (used SwiftKey / google keyboard); with film applied to the sensitivity it tends to decrease slightly due to the excessive thickness, so if you use its silicone cover, you can also remove it.
- Fingerprint performs well, always recommend to store many times the same finger in additional memory locations after the first (5 memory locations and you might as well use them all to have a recognition reliability, for example the right thumb, close to 100 %.
- Two sim slots: 2 slot Micro + Nano Sim (dynamic 4G from software menu) and slot for MicroSD tested up to 128Gb.
- Battery is not removable 3000mAh declared, to the test with ammeter we found about 2800mAh, which can cover the average day with about 4 hours of heated screen (more if alternate data sim with wifi)
- Android 6 without any customization and usually launcher with 3 standard now obsolete icons (there are no unwanted apps or as it was for his brother Cheetah of Cheetah Mobile bloatware that slowed down the system unnecessarily and could not be uninstalled)
- Open app and switch between apps quickly .. browser stock enough usable but we recommend Chrome that makes it quick and enjoyable navigation.
- Excellent management of internal rom 32Gb which are available in a 25GB partition for apps and data.
- Good management ram 3Gb by Android .. more than 1.6 GB of RAM left over after loading some apps into memory at startup.
connectivity:
WiFi b / g with no problem, stable coupling, good power, the presence of the 5Ghz band.
BT 4 tested pairing with headsets, car and other smartphones without problems
OTG: Properly functioning.
GPS: very good, the outside is cold fixato in 20 seconds, 13 satellites, with an accuracy of a few meters; Glonass compatibility!
camera:
- Main camera from Samsung 35k3l8 13Mpixel f / 2.2 that produces good confiscated in daylight; pretty fast focus; mediatek camera interface; the good power flash.
In low light conditions, the cove sharpness and focus limps, the iso with the stock app does not rise above 600, the result is slightly moved shots without flash and a tendency to knead.
- Good performance with FullHD video files but with some critical issues in focus
- Second Camera for Selfies 8Mpixel Sony IMX219 with face detection function, and video shots higher than the category average (just think that this sensor is used by many other brands to the main camera)
.
Bench:
Antutu 6 more than 37000 punti..risultato in line with the other MT6753 CPU 1.3Ghz.
Geekbench with 2470 points in the multi-core test and 600 in the single core test.
https://browser.primatelabs.com/v4/cpu/1214302
Audio:
Audio without infamy and without praise, good the speaker volume and earbud (even slightly too low and tend to distort a bit at the most), good microphone, the other party has no problem and feel the voice is free from noise or interference or metallic effect.
Good vibrations and sound in very good quality headphone.
of Fingerprint Reader
The fingerprint has a menu that allows the storage of different fingerprints, up to 5; the memorization stage is driven (although parts of the menus are in English, without translation into our language) and allows you to complete the stage in no time (access the fingerprint of the security menu).
The front print reader position is easy to reach by inches and indexes and makes it definitely more secure smartphone.
conclusions:
PROs:
- Aggressive price from about 140 to about 160 € according to the store; good for a terminal with medium level specs, 3Gb RAM / 32GB ROM and fingerprint reader.
- Screen 5.5 "FULL HD showing good brightness, color and viewing angle of the display; 2.5D glass and the metallic finish of the frame lend elegance and style.
- Led Notification Green / Red.
- Great assembling, the materials used, consistent with the class of the device.
- Good reception and above average audio.
- MicroSD card support with separate slot (support up to 128GB tested).
- Two Sim Slot (Micro and Nano) with the switch via software 4G traffic between a slot one and the other.
- WIFI with 5Ghz band
- Ability to select a different ring tone for the two sim directly from the audio menu.
- 4G supported in 1,3,7,20 bands to the advantage of compatibility with European regions.
- Pretty much stock Android 6 dated October 2016.
- Fast and accurate GPS, fix also inside home where others failed.
- Compass and Gyroscope implemented.
- OTG supported.
- Transparent silicon case in bundle.
- Fingerprint reader which further increases the security of your data if entitled to do so.
- Certification and Declaration of Conformity:
UL + SAR http://www.cubot.net/pdf/ce/CHEETAH2-ce.pdf
Safety: http://www.cubot.net/pdf/doc/CHEETAH_2_DOC_Form.pdf
RoHS: http://www.cubot.net/pdf/rohs/cheetah2-rohs.rar
- Modding (Root) possible via the TWRP compiled by me
CONs:
- Charger Standard 1A with a charging time of about 2h and 50 minutes.
- Soft Touch NOT Backlighted.
- Heavy, 190g for a device with a plastic cover and battery 3000mAh, are objectively too much.
- NON Removable Battery.
- Black frames and even asymmetrical as seen in previous Cubot (fortunately not so visible since the dark blue of my sample)
- Notification LED that although present, has no settings in the menu, no double tap for unlocking (even if we have the middle button which is also physical).
- Main Camera sensor from Samsung, that in the face of a good specs, fails to realize its potential because of the usual mediatek software and drivers poorly optimized (common evil to the vast majority of devices Camera).

5. Select fastboot
6. Install - flash the downloaded patched boot zip
7. Install Magisk manager and v14.2 magisk (or up)
Excuse maybe not working without flashfire (additional tool /adb)
No data lose, no additional pc tools
For recovery it is good to install flashfire (else) and make full backup.
If you come from rooted API23 you can flash a stock recovery via TWRP to get OTA update
If xposed is present better uninstall installer first.
old tutorial:

My note:
Do not flash whole firmware just select patched boot.img or flash patched file via adb
instead of
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img use fastboot flash boot boot.img
For recovery use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.mkrtchyan.recoverytools or https://flashfire.chainfire.eu/
Keep in mind getting latest firmware atm v15
Instead of mauimeta tool use mobil uncel apk befor flashing to backup IMEI
Firmware and note about update:
the API24 full Nougat v14 update here http://forum.cubot.net/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=1475
or OTA https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73007684&postcount=11
Some older API23 Marshmallow updates:
V07 Sadly i do not have a propper V08 link. If TWRP is present you have to install a recovery (v07) to get latest firmware via OTA.
CUBOT_6143C_CHEETAH_2_V02_20161027.zip (flash tool inside)
With TWRP you can not install OTA update, so install latest firmware befor flashing TWRP! If you like to update firmware with TWRP installed, make a full backup for example with Titanium backup. Copy backup to a save location (pc^^ do not leave it on a plugged external sd)! Backup any user related floder (DCIM, Bluetooth, Download and any additional floder) copy them manuel to another storage TWRP or Titanium never restored them.
Then you can recover all data, apps and files if update is done.
If you now go to recover apps with Titanium backup, do not restore old system apps just data!
Flashing a orginal stock rom = factory reset
Flashing TWRP = factory reset if you have to unlook bootloader
To recover system apps or sound you maybe use my aroma installer base on V08 Android 6 API23 (see next reply).
With V14 maybe use the nougat aroma i provide
Me unlocked bootloader & flashed TWRP like that MTK6753 tut
Maybe install last Superuser version https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133.
Backup all files if you start TWRP!!!
For security you maybe set password to your TWRP with
lockable-twrp-recovery
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/lockable-twrp-recovery-t3150750/
More useful apps - custom notifcation led, etc. :
You can simple install most following apps even more via my aroma installer (see next reply)
Latest Es Explorer support root access now or Fx explorer &root add-on
xposed API23 /sdk arm64
some xposed modul besides firewall:
MTP as Default USB Connection
Android N-ify Led-control but better -->
Led blinker works well for me. To use power led as notification light (red/green) but only if blinker app is not activ
More xposed modul i use: AppsOps, CameraNotify, BootManager, CleanLockscreen, Marshmallow SD fix
Roaming on national network? It can be fixed with https://forum.xda-developers.com/xp... can flash most of thoses apps via recovery
For simple imei r/w i used a mod of Mobileuncle Tools-com.mobileuncle.toolbox but offical final version do not work.
A TWRP flashable bootanimation 1080p - landscape from https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/themes/bootanimation-android-marshmallow-t3180984
A video of stock recovery
https://youtu.be/wqXhLF_WOKI
To start into recovery reboot
Press and hold Volume + (hold befor and till boot!.)
or shut down system
hold Volume +
Press again Power
Now the boot menu pop up :good:
Volume - is "enter/ok" in bootloader
additional note related to positioning / location / gps /
(save last system setting)
This happend as i block some system apps with firewallIf location (gps) is toggled on and you reboot it also seems to save state of Wifi, mobil date, etc. setup as it was set befor toggle location on.
By doing so you can choise if you like to have enabled wifi etc. while boot that may also take effect to sound-volume other system settings! - )
If you set location service (gps) off while boot you maybe get similar network connection issue as me!! Whenever i switched location on, some apps e.g. email or weather did not connect to net, other apps e.g. browser worked.
So my advice to you toggle gps on while boot if you like to use it often
Now my own thread

Note about firmware update:
Release date: 2017-1-3 OTA update:
CUBOT_6143C_CHEETAH_2_V0820161230_103516
http://forum.cubot.net/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=1218
Contain some new apps:
Smart Wake, gesture to turn on/off display by tap on it or to start apps etc.
News,
Youtube,
Duo, (google video chat)
TalkBack,
more...
Security improve by update a little if password is used, request is now befor pin of sim.
If you like to install TWRP, run OTA update first or you have to flash stock-rom befor you can upate to V8.
edit:
Direct update from V2 to V8 did not work. First i had to install V7 to get OTA V8 update...
This maybe trigger V8 is not a full stock rom
Since i packed an aroma installer for a Lollipop device i decided to build one for the cubot cheetah:
Cubot+Cheetah+2+toBsucht+aroma+1.1.part1.rar
Cubot+Cheetah+2+toBsucht+aroma+1.1.part2.rar
The new download contain all system app, including the entire priv-app system, sounds (system/media/) < all taken from stock-rom v08
3 bootanimation, launcher / keyboard mod xperia, all applications from the previous publication
.....more
It should be useful for restoring deleted system applications. It should be useful to set up a Cubot cheetah after installing TWRP.
previous publication
You can flash those app:
FileExplorer_v5.1.3.0
FileExplorerRootAddOn_v1.0.2

If you like to mod the aroma feel free to share :fingers-crossed:
Hi guys, I just got the Cheetah 2 a couple of days ago, updated to Nougat 7 and wanted to root. I followed the Unlock Bootloader (this bit worked) and flash TWRP but the TWRP won't open. When I flashed it the CMD window confirmed it had tranferred and the device confirmed in tiny text also but the device will only boot to stock recovery.
I'm guessing this version of TWRP won't work on Cheetah2 with Nougat 7, so if anyone finds one that does can you please let us know here. I will do the same if I find one. Thanks guys!
RoastPorkDinner i got same and no root permission. ..
However still no xposed for Nougat. Now i swipe to my Marshmallow v08 backup which already seems to have Nougat features by modding as shown.
1. edit:
Guessing it´s our fault. We forgotten to unlock to bootloader twice..kind of tricky. At the moment i´m still on v07 since i do not unlock bootloader (2x) befor flashing TWRP img.
2. edit:
Finally i am back on v08 but lost all files and pictures from internal standard floders: download, DCIM, bluetooth, etc.
I do not know how to recover them with TWRP or Titanium backup. If i use twrp to restore data partion only i am not able to get files back.
So if someone like to recover that i suggest to backup those folders manuel.
Yesterday i liked to replace superSU with Magisk but installation failed on a boot.img error. Maybe someone else got Magisk as superSU replacement?

I think I'll wait, I can't be bothered to roll back to Marshmallow, takes to long to set my damned phone up how I like it!
Something will come along soon to provide root access, I'm sure
Just install TWRP to get root access, should work with Nougat but you have to setup your phone again after unlock bootloader.
You can backup with stock recovery but that only works if you fail on TWRP installation ..stock backups can not loaded with twrp.
If you got TWRP (root) you can restore any app with titanium backup
Yeah wait some days i´m going to build a flashable* rom from the Nougat stock. As i said, i stay on Marshmallow for xposed modules.
*most likely for TWRP

I already mentioned I unlocked bootloader successfully, but TWRP wont flash. Fastboot says it has transferred to phone successfully but only stock recovery will open, no sign of TWRP
I think a new TWRP for Nougat on the Cheetah 2 is required. I even tried to temporary flash the TWRP you provided with "fastboot boot recovery recovery.img" no joy for this either.
That happend to me if i unlock bootloader only once or false. Yes, i also transfered recovery.img and got an success message if i unlocked bootloader just once or flase!
By the way the Nougat aroma rom is fully re-uploaded
https://www.mediafire.com/folder/zfc9h5x8nfty8/Nougat
Ok, I want to try and port TWRP for Cheetah 2 Nougat... any idea how I can get the Stock Recovery.img from Nougat??
I'm new to this kind of procedure and the stuggle is real lol !
Cann´t find a recovery inside Nougat v14 update. I unpacked whole files to get system floder for the aroma. Only the boot.img i did not unpack but boot.img do not contain recovery. Sorry i´m little lazy to reinstall Nougat again for testing.
To enable my device update from V08 Marshmallow to Nougat, i flashed V07 recovery via adb. Maybe not needed anymore if i flash Nougat aroma.
Maybe try a little spanish at MDS twrp thread
You maybe saw MegaTheBest account is disabled so you maybe try contact at needrom.

Yes, I did the same. I have your V14 ROM which only contains a Boot image and I have your Aroma nougat ROM which has neither Boot or Stock Recovery image. I did unpack the Boot image and of course, nothing to be found there.
If there's no Stock Recovery image in the Nougat Roms, they must still be using the original one!

Yes :good:
I was going to try and port the new Nougat Stock Recovery, but if it's the same Stock Recovery as Marshmallow then theoretically MegTheBest's port should work. As we know, it doesn't, which means I need to use the latest TWRP, 3.1.1 (or whatever it is). I just need to locate the damned Stock Recovery image!! Not so easy without root and I can't root without it... bah!

No dude megathebest TWRP and MDS TWRP should work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Again! My suggestion to you retry bootloader unlock!!!
If you have a believe it only work with a MarshMallow firmware downgrade and check how to install TWRP propper. Then you know how to. If you see what you made wrong on installing twrp maybe then you like to retry on Nougat.
But feel free to port a new version of TWRP. Use v02 or v07 recovery to port it if needed.
Again no v14 stock recovery i had the v07 installed as i made a direct upgrade to v14. The kernel is in boot.img
I'm sure Bootloader is unlocked. It says bootloader unlocked=YES and also Warranty=NO.
However, I'm going to take your advice and try unlocking it again. I hate having to set my phone up after a wipe so much though...
Be back soon with a good result i hope!
Hello Everyone.
Well, I am coming from Samsung galaxy S7 edge (custom OneUI 2.1). This phone lasted for a long while by my side. So basically I am mostly used to interact with Samsung UI. I know the things that require root to make my phone's performance better.
I bought a POCO F3 (8/256) few weeks ago. just few days before it reaches me.
SO MY QUESTION IS:
This phone is a top-notch when it comes to performance. what I wanna know is, what are the things I can make use of in "Xiaomi eu" ?
I have no idea what are the major or must-have root-only mods that a Xiaomi SD 780 phone user should get ?
this is in no particular order ...but this are all apps that i use all listed here require root
SMSBomber-v1.1 ~ send 500 sms in just 10 secs ( can permanently brick old Nokia phone xD )
Lucky Patchr ~ remove in-app purchase of apps from Play Store
Game Guardian ~ hack android games
Arcai NetCut ~ disconnect other from WIFI ( yes i'm selfish and i hate lag )
GL Tools ~ GFX optimizer tool
Magisk ~ if you are not rooted via Magisk you are missing alot
Xposed Framework~ LSPosed or EdXposed
also i forgot to say Universal Remote since POCO F3 has IR Blaster you can use it as remote great for trolling too ...
you can turn off McDonald's television with it

thanks a lot dude
So basically the same apps, except the the SmSBomber.
I actually depend a lot on EdXposed. I hope it doesn't cause any problems to the phone system. I wanna use "Xposed Edge" that allows me to do so many cool stuff using the edges of the phone. it also has even more "triggers".

but why would Universal Remote need root? .. or you just wanted to mention it for its good use!
and whether it's better than Mi remote? controller.

Main reason I root is for ad blocking and battery charge rate limiting
if you don't mind me asking, why would you limit battery charge rate ?

Li-ion batteries last longer when (over the course of its life) charged to around 80 percent then stopped charging... also they last longer when not fully discharged and re-charged at say... 25-30 percent.
There's a fair bit more to it, but that's the basics... i might be wrong on the exact preferred values for charging.
So by using Advanced Charging Controller (magisk module) you could set it to those values - where it stops charging at 80% etc
Also, you could limit the charge rate. Fast charging, generally the faster it is the quicker it'll degrade your battery
however.... pretty sure i read some phones are utilizing 2 effective batteries. So, although it (the device) may be drawing a lot of amps to charge, it may be that those amps are split between the 2 batteries. So although the device can indeed charge to full in super quick time, it doesn't neccesarily mean battery damage....
I'm quite limited in my knowledge though, perhaps somone else would chip in and clarify!!!

I'm interested in konabess but on the GitHub page, SD 870 is not listed, it's compatible? (Even if I know SD 870 is just 865 overclocked, I prefer to be sure)
Thx !
Konabess works, I've tried it.
However, you need root permissions.
You can adjust the voltage and overclock/underclock the GPU.

I'm rooted so it's ok. Can you change voltage and the speed clock on the go or do you need to restart the phone everytime you change these parameters? Sorry for my English, it's not my fluent language!
Restart needed to apply the settings.
Try undervolting the maximum clock speed by one step lower volt.
It seems very stable on the latest firmware, runs cooler and consumes less power when gaming.
Depending on your chip lottery, you can probably lower the voltage down by one step on each and every clock speed stepping.
Test with Antutu (multiple runs), 3DMark (both stress and stability test, multiple runs) and playing games is the ultimate test.
