answer

@javitolopez69 :

Hi !

It is well known that Apollo X25 has a under-performing battery.

TWO SOLUTIONS :

1) Install Xposed Framework and "Greenify" module.
Do not forget to install the "Greenify (Donation Package)".
"Greenify (Donation Package)" is essential for system apps.

2) Install the "Second modded stock rom" (low power consumption) :

UPDATE – NEW STOCK ROM – REBUILT

Please see the first post of this thread.

I've searched for it on Needrom but it has only the old stock firmware for Apollo updated on 22.02.2017. Am I missing something?

@stronge :

Of course you left something behind

I replaced the old rar with the "Apollo X25-NEW 20170116.rar".

SuperSU

Did you modded the SuperSU or is it just the same .zip from the original site?

@Mathero11 :

Always the same original version (SuperSU-v2.79-SR3.zip).

 

[Crazy_Oni]

It does not seem to me to be a good idea.

Ah ok, didn't know.
But you have made a custom TWRP for it, right?
How did you do it?

AICP 12.1 Nougat 7.1.1 – Unofficial Beta

Android Ice Cold Project 12.1 Nougat 7.1.1 – Unofficial - Beta

based on Verevka project

- Added SuperSU-v2.79-SR3
- Added Busybox.v1.26.2
- Added Open Camera_v1.37
- Removed MagiskManager apk & zip

Charger icon bug half-fixed : beautiful icon when it is plugged in an electrical outlet

BETA edition because there are the next issues :

1) Fingerprint bug.
2) Battery consumption can be improved.

THE ROM ZIP ON NEEDROM

I STRONGLY RECOMMEND YOU A CLEAN INSTALLATION !

What do I mean by "clean installation" ?
Before to install AICP,
you have to flash (by SP Flash Tool) the next stock firmware :

apollo-x25-stock-rom-2017-01-16 (on Needrom).

Be sure to choose "Firmware Upgrade" option.
Then, unlock the bootloader.

I noticed that without "clean installation", the icon of microSD (up left) does not appear.

INSTALLATION STEPS :

1) Reboot (fastboot boot recovery.img) into twrp.
2) Make a backup of Boot, System and Data into microSD.
3) Make a backup of NVRAM separately into microSD.
4) Tap on "Wipe" (main screen of twrp).
5) Tap on "Advanced Wipe".
6) Select Dalvik/System/Cache/Data/Internal Storage BUT NOT Micro SDCard.
7) Swipe to Wipe.
8) Return to the main screen of twrp.
9) Tap on "Install".
10) Tap on "Select Storage" and tap on "Micro SDCard".
11) Tap on "Apo_X25-AICP_12.1.zip".
12) Swipe to confirm Flash.
13) When finished - reboot.
14) Be patient.
15) Tap on icon of SuperSU to activate it.
16) Enable Data onto SIM
17) Setting–>SIM cards-->SIM 1 settings.
18) Disable Data roaming
19) Developer options-->enable Android debugging.
20) Turn on Wi-Fi.
21) Flash Carliv custom recovery.
22) Install Gapps by Carliv custom recovery.


- Considerations about the default camera apk :
Unfortunately, most people have had problems with the default camera apk.
It looks like that camera apk is NOT stable in any rom based on Nougat (LineageOS, RR and AICP for example).
And that is the reason why I have added "Open Camera_v1.37".

LineageOS 14.1 - Nougat 7.1.2

LineageOS 14.1 - Nougat 7.1.2 - First Release

based on Verevka project

- Fingerprint bug.


THE ROM ZIP ON NEEDROM


FIXED THE BATTERY DRAINING !

The Apollo Helio X25 seems to have the same issue of Apollo Lite.
The wakelock does not let the device fall onto deep sleep.
Then the CPU never turns off.
And therefore, there is a considerable consumption of battery during the standby.
DerTeufel1980 (world-renowned Recognized Developer) has found a solution to this.
However, this solution involved a manual follow-up procedure to start the process.

DerTeufel1980 solution :
"Install terminal emulator and do:
cat /dev/spm
Maybe needs root. Device should be going into deep sleep afterwards
Needs to be done after each boot"

My solution :
I have made his procedure totally automated, without any manual intervention.

Allow me to show you my solution.
To avoid to saturate the forum with too many screenshots,
I have made a video-tutorial composed of all my screenshots.
There will be instructions/remarks under the video-tutorial.

VIDEO-TUTORIAL :

https://vimeo.com/218357134

Instructions/Remarks :

- Twrp installation screenshot.
- Home screen screenshot.
- Phone status screenshot.
- Boot Shell apk icon (tap on it).
- Tap on SCRIPT FILES.
- Tap on the three lines (left corner).
- Tap on New script.
- Type the script name.
- I have chosen to call it "deepsleep".
- Tap on SAVE.
- And now the most important part of the tale :
Please write the command correctly ! There is a space between cat and /dev
- Tap on SAVE AND EXIT.
- Now you can see the deepsleep.sh onto SCRIPT FILES.
- Tap on it and tap on Execute & show output.
- Superuser request, Grant full access.
- VITAL STEP : turn off, then turn on your phone !
- You can see the next message : Boot Shell 1 scripts executed at boot.
- I have successfully tested the ability of the deep sleep.


INSTALLATION STEPS :

1) Reboot (fastboot boot recovery.img) into twrp.
2) Make a backup of Boot, System and Data into microSD.
3) Make a backup of NVRAM separately into microSD.
4) Tap on "Wipe" (main screen of twrp).
5) Tap on "Advanced Wipe".
6) Select Dalvik/System/Cache/Data/Internal Storage BUT NOT Micro SDCard.
7) Swipe to Wipe.
8) Return to the main screen of twrp.
9) Tap on "Install".
10) Tap on "Select Storage" and tap on "Micro SDCard".
11) Tap on "Apo_X25-LineageOS_NEW.zip".
12) Swipe to confirm Flash.
13) When finished - reboot.
14) Be patient.
15) Tap on icon of SuperSU to activate it.
16) FOLLOW CAREFULLY the steps to configure Boot Shell !

Suggestions :
I suggest you to restart the phone at least twice in one day.

Hi Cleopatra, does this battery drain fix also work for stock rom or is it not affected? and is the new stock rom (updated post 1 of this thread) better than stock rom number 2 or is it the same? i need a full stable version (no developer beta like lineage or something) with the best improvements.. so first or second rom? thanks, kai

Hi kailohre1991,

Actually the developer beta custom roms are the only way to run Nougat onto Vernee Apollo X25.
However, I am working to make a third modded stock rom (Marshmallow).
Lately I am working very hard for the Apollo (X25 and X) community.
In order to give them a fair chance (considering the lack of support of the official brand).
Please be patient.

Regards

I am the first one to thank you because I have this phone and it is a great machine and I think you can get a lot of ...

thanks for being there...

Hello, Cleopatra! Thanks for the work!

I somehow stopped working touch in TWRP 3.0.2, so I installed Carliv Recovery.

Then I installed LineageOS 14.1 - Nougat 7.1.2 - First Release (Apo_X25-LineageOS_NEW.zip)

The phone rebooted and the OS does not boot. Already an hour hangs boot logo

What can you say about this?

Hello,

Unfortunately, all my jobs require TWRP to be installed.
Carliv recovery is good ONLY to backup, to restore, for SuperSU, for BusyBox and for Gapps.

Now you have two different strategies :

1) Flash (with SP Flash Tool) the TWRP 3.0.3 and use an OTG-USB adapter with mouse.
2) Flash once again the stock rom, unlock the bootloader and boot the TWRP by fastboot.

That's terrific news! And if the bug with the constantly disconnecting/reconnecting bluetooth headset goes away I will be absolutely happy!

Hello.

Constantly disconnecting/reconnecting of bluetooth headset ???
Do you have tried to change headset ? And see what happens ?
I had no problem with my smartwatch and my television.
Just out of curiosity, please install an apk to record your screen.
For example "ADV Screen Recorder".
Then, please show me that constantly disconnecting/reconnecting of bluetooth.

Thank you in advance
