But when no computer is around, or adb not available? No battery access on device, how to turn if off physically

Thanks will try it.

Xposed is reason why i came to this thread, installing framework make bootloop 100%, it does not work with stock eather....
After xposed install i ended up in bootloop with no access to computer so i had to waith for battery to drain so i can access stock recovery to reset phone. After that i installed cwm and made backup...

Hey man, please I need help with this... I just installed the xposed installer, then reboot and my phone is in bootloop... I did this trick
Connect the phone to the charger
Switch it off
Disconnect it
Now try to boot the recovery (as always power + volume up )
And it doesn´t start in recovery either...
Can you explain me how can I start my phone again... Getting out of bootloop, some instructions please... Thanks a lot!

You can boot into the recovery with fastboot;

adb reboot recovery

Or shutdown the device with;

adb reboot -p

The Lewa roms are full working and for some people more stable then the stock ones.

No, you can flash the feese on inside CWM, reboot your phone and CWM is still there.

PS: Xposed framework isn't working here with Feese 01007 (bootloop), more people with this problem?

Hey, Can you help me with instructions to get into adb recovery?? My phone just don´t turn on, don't go to recovery... Just stay in the operator logo, I'm worried... Thanks for the help

To use ADB you need to enable USB Debugging, when the option is off (And you can't change them) you're screwed I Think. You can try to get in the recovery with the volume rockers.

Otherwise you can use the updater from the TCL website, then you're phone will be completely stock with the original software incl. recovery.

Well that explains it, thank you! :highfive:
What makes "mega ROM 08" different "need ROM 08"? One and the same?

Install and u will see difference

This is how i did it...turn off phone (u will need to do it several times because it turns it on by itself) and when u manage to get it off plug in charger just to see idol x logo for few seconds, then remove charger, w8 a bit and then press and hold first volume up then power button and keep holding them together until it switch on. When u see idol x logo w8 another 1 second and release power button (continue holding volume up) and phone should boot into recovery.

Thanks! This worked but later when I restart my phone!

My GF is running feese 01008 and she has no issues. The apex launcher is a bit laggy for my taste but she doesn't seem to care.

Only thing that does not work is the x-Axis of the gyroskope (the one when the phone lies flat, the one that is needed for the compass to work) and GPS fixes do take a very long time. But other than that, she didnt report any bugs to me.

Ofc, but there are some problems. I allready had 01004 without the TCL skin but cant get the skin out of 01012. Still working on it and maybe later this week the first release!

My GF is running feese 01008 and she has no issues. The apex launcher is a bit laggy for my taste but she doesn't seem to care.

The 01008 from feese has an older version of Apex, update this one to the latest and you will notice the difference.

Overclock MTK6589/T

Here is an app to underclock/overclock MTK6589/T Mediatek devices same as Idol X
It has to be flashed with CWM.

I wonder if someone can translate it from Chinese to English, mainly the MTKTweak.apk app inside?

Thanks

Compatibility report for Alcatel with 01002 firmware.

XPosed 2.3.1 with latest GravityBox works perfectly. Even experimental SmartRadio function works.

XPosed 2.4 & 2.4.1 cause infinite and almost unstoppable boot loops. Don't use these versions of XPosed.
