Device and Project Presentation
In 2015 the Chinese company EStar launches on the market the Takee 1. An octa-core smartphone with an astonishing Holographic 3D technology developed by the german Seereal.
Despite the cutting-edge hardware, a low price and the big innovations in the field of 3D and AirTouch... the phone does not receive the big success it deserved, Estar closes down and the last official software update dates back to 2015, leaving the whole system stuck to Android 4.2.
But today, 5 years after the last update and the closure of the company, I continue what the far-sighted EStar was doing, studying 3D technologies and releasing a new Android 7 Software Update.
I had to face many difficulties but...
making an Android 7 ROM from just an Android 4.2 base is now possible!
Let's go guys!

Mik-el fixes to extend the life of your device

- system doesn't write on the phone memory over and over again (The original Takee 1 stock rom is based on Android 4.2 and trimming was introduced starting from Android 4.3 only)
- you can install apps directly on external SD card - starting from v. 1.2
