Wileyfox Swift 2? - Wileyfox Swift 2 Questions & Answers

I was on https://cyngn.com/support looking for the Wileyfox Swift stock ROM, when I came across a new device, codenamed 'marmite': Wileyfox Swift 2/Swift 2 Plus. Could this be the next Wileyfox device?

Don't quote me on this but I believe it has better specs than the Swift. IE better camera. Just what I've been hearing around though. So nothing official as of yet

Yep seems to be true. Seen some teasers on their instagram page.

According to the model released in Russia it has a Snapdragon 430, fingerprint scanner and NFC. Looks good, don't know the pricing though.

Its up on their website today, pending an announcement, so certainly seems true...

I'm exited about this. Seems like a nice upgrade. From what I understand the new 430 chipset supports OTG which I really missed on the current model. For anyone interested, here is a comparisson of the specs https://tweakers.net/pricewatch/compare/468607;649493/

Too bad they keep making phones bigger, the current swift is already over the limit for me

You can't take out the battery which is not acceptable as well as the "option" to use a second SIM card or a mirco SD card. The first swift does not have these disadvantages.

Hai There, i have just bought de Swift 2+ and i want to root this device. I have already unlock the bootloader and flash the TWRP, but when i flash the latest SU, the device don't start up anymore.

I just rooted mine today using the version linked in the root-thread for the old swift. Worked fine.

As there is no thread for wileyfox swift 2 plus (yet) I thought I ask here.have any owner's of the swift 2 or swift 2 plus been able to use OTG? as all the adaptors I've bought haven't worked.anybody else had success with OTG? hope someone can answer. thanks.

I do... Swift 2 Plus, rooted and get the same on restarting every time, havent had time to look into getting rid of it yet as I seem to have other issues.

Yes, I've got it, too. It's called "verified boot" and is an annoying Android security feature implemented in official roms. I can't post links, but just google "android verified boot" and you'll find plenty to read about it. You'll either have to live with it or flash a custom rom like Cyanogenmod to get rid of it.

I can deal with it, but it's nicer to get rid of out. U talk about a rom but i can't find a rom for the Swift 2 Marmite.
The stock rom is already a CyanogemMod.
Can u find an rom for the Swift 2 Marmite???

The stock rom is CyanogenOS which is the commercial branch of Cyanogenmod. It is altered to match the Google guidelines. Even though I didn't try I'm pretty sure you won't get these messages after replacing the stock rom with Cyanogenmod.

Ok, u tell me flash the Cyanogenmod to get rid of the message. But i can't find a Cyanogenmod rom for the swift 2 (marmite)
I can only find this: https://cyngn.com/support and that is the Stock Rom...

So is have flashed de SU 2.46 several times now, but the swift2 won't start up, the only thing i see is the flashing word CYANOGEN. sometimes i have waited for 20 minutes, but it won't started.
What do i wrong here???
I have the SU on the internal memory, not on the external SD...Is that the fault i make???

[Think Tank] Flash 10.1 on Nexus One

So flash was already demo'd on the nexus one which means there has to be a way of installing it. Now you can download the Flash 10.1 for Linux on their site. and it has included 2 files. 1 is "flashplayer-install" and the other is "libflashplayer.so".
Can we push libflashplayer.so onto the phone and it'll pickup the library or is it more complicated than this... What can we do to make this work?
Its much more complicated than that, there are optimizations that they've done to even make it fast enough to use on a phone, plus the plug-in has to be compiled for the architecture on the phone (ARM) I do wish we could get a leak of the alpha plug-in though.
Ya, I think the only way this is happening is if someone leaks the version we've all been seeing. There's gotta be a leaky faucet somewhere.
We might not need to wait, the Desire (Nexus One minus the Google) has 10.1 Flash baked in...
Beyond me but it could be possible to, along with the Sense UI and whatever else is new and applicable, to port over Flash 10.1 if Google doesn't release it before then.
According to engadgdet the htc desire they demo'd had flash 10.1 so maybe when that rom leaks.
just a quick question : say the Flash 10.1 is released officially , in what form will it come?
an over the air update from google for OS? or just android Market app to be installed?
any ideas?
will it affect browser in any way?
OTA

something like this will have to be an os update because the browser will need to be able to access this lib/plugin along with other apps IMO unless someone can further my knowledge and tell me otherwise
I always thought flash would come as an upddate (perhaps 2.2 Froyo?)
as i've read, flash is already available for developers.
asking google....
Maybe it will be a OTA or it will come along with 2.2 as kyle said. Then again we will have it quicker once someone has a Desire rom leak.

Flash has been on Sense UI as early as the HTC Magic & Hero and when my youtube app stopped playing videos I resorted to playing them in the browser with flash, how come HTC seem to have no problem releasing it? Flash 10.1 must be a lot faster

HTC leans its devices more to the media oriented.

I posted screenshots of flash (Hulu focused) in the apps section. Wasn't sure where to put it... If this place is more relevant then we can just delete my other post (if there are any mods reading =))
Here is the recap:
So I can get Hulu web page to start, and it says "loading" the video but it gets an error message.

Is anyone more informed of why? I know flash != shockwave, not sure if that is the issue. Or is the browser telling Hulu what kind of browser it is. I know that is spoofable. The last thing I can think of some sort of cache issue with the browser? In the settings the max I can set it is 6mb so maybe Hulu won't stream it. If we can get Hulu working on our N1's it would be a huge win. =)

Help Needed!

Hi guys, I've bought a 2 day old archos 101 G9 8gb with 3.2 on it.
my questions are....
1- once i receive it, whats the process of updating it to the 4.0.4?
2- do you think its worth doing the update? or am i safer on 3.2?
3- is there lots of problems with 4.0.4 at the moment?
4- i'll eventually want to root the tablet so that i can put custom roms onto it, whats the best custom rom at the moment? and whats the process to rooting it and getting the rom?
5- I'm based in london, UK but i bought the tablet off someone in Ireland which is also UK, would there be a difference in the english and irish versions?
cheers in advance guys.
1. Just goto Settings > About > Software Update.
2. ICS is working fine, WiFi etc.
3. Same as above.
4. Best ROM at the moment would be [email protected] and the rooting procedure is fairly easy.
Quinny898 made a guide. You can find it in Archos G9 Development
5. They're the same.
Although there is the Archos 101S and 101H. Don't think theres any differences
Sent from my X8 using Tapatalk
cheers for the reply, so... your saying the 4.0.4 is stable enough to use now? because i recently see a few threads of people complaining about all sorts of stuff.
when you say there is 101H and a 101S, would there be a way of me finding out which 1 i have? and also, there must be some kind of difference between the 2
And also, the reason i mentioned rooting, was because i used to own a motorola xoom and once that was rooted, there was loads of amazing roms to use, I aint managed to find any nice roms for the archos yet, so apart from the changing rom, is it really worth rooting? what benefits will i get from rooting?

It's worth rooting your tablet just for the apps that need root alone (titanium backup,add removers etc).
Then there's also the advantage of custom rooms.
Also use set CPU or something similar to change the governor as this makes the device a lot more stable (performance works good for me).

A lot of those topics were from people who had loads of apps and updated to ICS.
Since your tablet is quite new and you probably don't have too many apps yet, now would be ideal to
update to ICS.
Shano56 made a guide to most things for the A101G9 so you may want to check that too.
Sent using XDA Premium HD from my ICS Powered tablet
Here is Shano56' guide : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1542058
Also, to find what Archos Model you have go to Settings > About > Board Version.
There you'll see A101S or A101H. I've got the S. AFAIK, nothing is different.
Attached you'll find a screenshot of my About.

Actually, I was under the impression that the letter on the end denoted the storage type. H for the 250Gb HDD, and S for the solid state flash drive.
Gnudoll said:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
whats solid state flash drive?
In the S models, the data storage is on a memory chip inside the tablet that is similar to a SDcard. In that it has no moving parts, it is called "solid state". I called it a flash drive because the flash drives (or thumb drives, or USB drives) that you plug into the USB port of your computer are made the same way. I named it that way in particular way to tie it into the S on the end of the model number. The S units are the ones that are 8Gb or 16Gb.

Thank you. Anyone here can translate? my russian is not sooo good
What is this ROM based on CM12.1? CM13? Other? Ok let me take the chance, and take a more direct question.
On which version of Android is this work based on? Kitkat? Lollipop? Or Marshmallow?
*Edit*
Pouring over the Zip File from Google Drive...
Seems to indicate that this is a Modded Stock Samsung ROM... So very likely a KitKat 4.4.2 ROM...
Not sure if want. Since what I really want is OmniROM on this Device. Barring that CyanogenMod.
@StilleWaesser
Wouldn't ya know I think Google has a Browser App for that.... Just feed Google Translate the URL, and it should translate the entire Site for you.
It's the stock ROM just debloated. At least the screenshots look like stock, so no android 5,6.
Yeah I tried... if Google'd translate correct, I might understand somehting. But the translation is not usable.
Already been that far on my own....

Sorry that it wasn't useful, I know its [Translate] kind of crap at translating Russian. Mores the pity that this isn't more of a custom ROM.
What with all the known open vulns that Kitkat, and Lollipop have. Stagefright, and now this new Dogspectus-android-ransomware it's not a good time to be running such an old OS, unless you have to... For reasons.
Though I guess AdAway would at least help with the latter. By blocking such crap from getting anywhere near the Device, but still...
Do i need to flash the ROM using CM or just using the build in ?
i really want to use this rom as my T325 keep lagging sometime freezes.

I have Android Pay working on the official LVY48F image, but I'm pretty sure the DPI change that was done with this will not work with it. Also had to hold off on rooting until after it was set up.
Sorry guys. I didn't mean to change it in the rom. I just wanted it set to 460 on my phone. I can give you a different build.prop file or correct it and upload again. Give me a second and I'll upload a correct build and a 2nd flashable zip to correct dpi only.
EDIT: Attached is the flashable zip to set the density to 560 which is stock. I am uploading the full ROM with it corrected and I will post the link here when it's done.
P.S. If someone tries the attached zip, please post and confirm that it fixed your DPI. Thanks!

You shouldn't be receiving an update message is you're running this build. Check your settings about and make sure that your build number is LVY48F. The update will fail if you try to accept it.
I got the update notification when I first booted but have not seen it since.

If you ever get another one, don't update. It'll fail if you have a custom recovery. Even if you had stock recovery, you'll then lose root and be encrypted again. Wait for a ROM update.

#WhiteUIsMustDie, #EndDarkAppOppression
Hello everyone,
I'm running into an issue here, I flashed this ROM so I could activate my Project Fi invite. Unfortunately, I am getting the same message as I've gotten on every other ROM. First, I will get error T301 and cannot do anything I'm the app. Eventually I get around it by attempting to choose network operators in the settings but get stuck at the part where I am trying to transfer my number. After typing in all the account info and selecting next, I get a notification at the bottom of the screen that reads "something went wrong".
I've been wondering, do I need to flash any of the radios, base (baseband?), or any other of the things that are linked in the OP? If so, which ones?
P.S. I have never flashed a different radio or bootloader etc. on this phone since I purchased in May.
If that's not the case does anyone have any idea what could be the issue? Any help is highly appreciated and I thank you in advance!

Need a guide for buying V10 [ver/roms]

Hi guys,
I need a guide on which ver of V10 should I buy?
I found the H990VS Verizon ( appears to be the best of all versions on bands coverage based on Gsmarena) and it seems that the only difference between all versions.
Anyway I found it for 200$ new unlocked, which seems a good deal, while I found the global ver for 300$.
I came from G3 and last time flashed ROM was in 2014 so bear with me please ( that G3 kept me happy all that time and still)
The first thing I do when buying a phone is installing custom ROM, so my questions are:
- If I get the H990VS can I install any custom ROM regardless of the versions? Or must be ROM built specially for the H990VS?
- Looks like there aren't much ROMs for the V10? Which made reconsider buying it, or might go with stock rooted.
Suggestions and advices are welcome.
I liked V10 design more than V20 and specially the back volume buttons, I'll be using it for my business replacing my S5, so I don't care about performance or future proof.
Will fix the CPU/board thermal to avoid heat=boot loop, I'm a computer modifier/builder so this will be easy
Thanks.
@black_horse_i8
Hi
As far as I am aware the Verizon V10 as well as the AT&T model are not boot loader unlockable and cannot be rooted. The only one at present (apart from the International version) that is boot loader unlockable and rootable is the T-Mobile H901.

Oh thank you, you saved my life there.
Still, will a custom ROM work on any V10 or must be same ver?

As far as I know there are no custom Roms for any V10s except the H901 T-Mobile version and what is available depends on whether the V10 is on Lollipop or Marshmallow. I am currently running a debloated version of H90120L, and as far as I know this is the only Rom available on MM.

Ok Thanks Stransky.
I might get the H901 and root stock, but one last question.
Is Arabic language supported by OS?
Much appreciated if you can check for me

Hi
Sorry I don't know if Arabic is supported on the H901 as it is the US version of the phone.

Can you check for the me in your language setting?
Or it's different because of the custom ROM?

Hi
It does not specifically say Arabic in English but the Arabic language is included towards the end of the language list, at least I assume it is Arabic judging by the characters. Sorry I cannot be more specific.

But looking at V20, looks more popular than V10 and has more options with ROMs, and mods.
So maybe I will use my G3 for business and get me a V20.
Tho I don't like the phone design, now that I'm used to the back buttons. Seems LG dropped the idea of back button while ago, and it appears that I'm the only one liked it lol.
Need to think this thoroughly.
Thank you Stranksy
