Works great thus thanks MAD86!! I don´t know how you figured this out, but indeed handy to get back after some playing with the iFive. I noticed that freezing - uninstalling the Google Play Service reduces the battery drain in standby mode enermous, but reinstalling - defrosting does not work, thus ...

Pour l'instant bloqué sur le init.d et en stand by de mon côté pour la semaine je suis en vacances :) You deserve it: have a nice trip and relax. Init.d will be resolved. In the mean time we can play with a special Chinese rooted firmware version: see : The long-awaited the ifive X \ 2 \ MX \ Mini ...

c'est con ... indeed, even the Chinese engineer was not able te measure the GPS-antenna size correctly: the actual size is 15x15x2 mm (did open my tablet). It's too small and i'm looking for a version of size 20X20x2 or 20X25X2 but the pin-position would not fit in this case. Keep you informed when...

Please be informed that the known issue of bad GPS-performance of the iFive 3G is caused by a hardware issue: the GPS ceramic antenna is non-sensitive according to the Chinese iFive-forum. It needs a replacement by another antenna to get "normal" reception, thus not a software pproblem. Pl...

Congratulations with your progress Mad86! If i'm understanding it correctly, your build will be similar to the Arctablet one, with possibly the lochscreen resolved. Most unfortunately, switching to any new firmware, we will have to configure all user-app's again. Sorry, i'm sorry that i did not help...

Hi Mad86, the installation of 3G was no issue with a dutch SIM-card (all was automatically configured). However, i cannot find an option to switch off the 3G modem power permanently (surviving a boot like Wifi) to save energy. Only when i need it, i like to switch it on. I thought something like thi...

also in the Netherlands: the Custom rom from ArcTablet.com works for the MX-3G. - all chinese app's removed - rooted - standard launcher - lockscreen is the only disturbing factor but . . . . . you can disable the lockscreen easily: settings / security / screen security / screenlock => none. So Chin...

I assume that the Rockchip_Batch_tool is also suited for installing the official firmware for iFive. Any advantage to do so (the official flash tool in in V1.5: FNF-Setup)? By the way: do you know the difference between "Upgrade" and "Restore" of these tools? - normal upgrade: ov...

to the lockscreen: i don't have a lockscreen active anymore and i like that. to the firmware version of MX-3G: - on the iFive forum still the latest is 1.20 (downloaded file however has 1.2.0 in its name). - on the iFive manufacturer product page, it looks like they have removed the firmware upgrade...

I do strongly recommand to use a download-manager to download the firmware from China (e.g. FlashGet).

Downloads goes many, many times faster due to 8-10 parallel download-threads and you are able to pause or recover if connection broken.
