I have bought this phone and the look is great. but I feel the tough not super responsive and fingerprint just does a decent job. I wanted to know whether it supports Volte? and if yes how do I turn it on. bcoz if I open the phone information it has the option - " turn off Volte provisioned flag". or do i have to install a new rom ?

Do you still have the phone?
I have few roms (cm13, Resurrection Remix, EMUI, Nubia, Aerom etc.)
Mine is busted for the time being.

CynogenMod 13 (yup, still CM, we can't get Leanage OS yet)

I have ported CyanogenMod 13.0 from P9000.
It's usable but two major bugs probably need to be fixed:

1. Camera HDR mode
2. Bluetooth (it can't seem to connect to some BT devices like BT Headsets)

Download link: cm13_Y6.zip (MEGA)

I was not able to fix these bugs as my doogee y6 touchscreen is no longer working after I have wrongly flashed a kernel to it. I am trying to revive it but I'm not sure it will ever be recovered, so maybe someone else can try to fix the remaining bugs.
I also would like to ask Y6 owners to share a file called gt1x_debug which I believe can help me recover my touchscreen. You can get it using cat proc/gt1x_debug from either adb or Terminal Emulator app.

Nice job on the port!
As for gt1x_debug, here's a direct copy-paste from my terminal to Pastebin.
Just in case there's any form of binary data that's needed, here's the file itself (created by # cp /proc/gt1x_debug /sdcard/gt1x_debug).

Thank you for the file!
I hope I can recover it.

When you fix the battery drain?

 

[Nonta72]

When you fix the battery drain?

Probably not gonna be fixed ...

 

[DepressedHedgehog]

Nonta72, your port of CM 13.0 works great for me, it only lags for a few seconds on boot-up (which is pretty much expected).
The only issues I seem to have noticed is the HDR functionality not working and the battery being recognized as 3,000 mAh instead of 3,200 mAh, which may be causing the battery drain issues other people seem to be experiencing. Other than those few problems though, the port works great!

I had succeeded to make an improved version before the phone got screwed.
I will upload it soon. And how did you know that the battery is recognized as 3200 mAh ?
My phone used to drain battery even in my stock rom. And the battery drivers are mostly inside the kernel I believe.
I hope Nougat update will fix the battery drain with a new kernel. I heard they will update the Piano Black version. So maybe the normal version too.

Hi,
You seemed to have pulled the configs while the screen was off. That's probably why the second raw of data are 0x00 (which means EMPTY). Try to pull it with screen turned on and phone unlocked. Thanks.

Ah, my bad. https://hastebin.com/fifuhisomu Here you go!

Hi - would this work with the Y6 piano black (DOOGEE Y6 Piano Black 5.5 Inch Fingerprint 4GB RAM 64GB ROM MTK6750 Octa Core 4G Smartphone - from Banggood) ?
I bought it a couple of weeks ago and I need to restart it twice daily as the screen becomes unresponsive.

Should I flash the stock rom first? Does it come already with the stock rom from Banggood, or has it been bloated on the way from the factory?

Thanks for any help.
MR

Yes, it should normally work on Y6 Piano Black because it has the same kernel as the Y6 normal version. But I suggest you port the kernel first. If you can't do that, upload the boot.img from your stock rom. I'll do it for you and you'll test.

Android 7.0 (apparently)

Hi,
While posting my last ROM (FlymeOS 5) for the Y6 on needrom, I stumbled upon this ROM.
Apparently it is Android 7.0 for the Y6.
I'm not sure whether it works or not. But I assume it works as it is Official.
I haven't tested it,
I don't have the Y6 anymore,
I don't know what works and what doesn't,
I don't know if it works on Y6 Piano Black too.
But I'm sure it doesn't work on Y6 Max/Max 3D.

Thanks to [email protected] at needrom.

@Alberto96 Can you please update the INDEX with the recent roms? Thanks!
