Cube T9 64bit octacore A53 4G beast.

[BamaPanda]

Just flash TWRP (from here _ T9_Recovery_TWRP_ 2840_ New.rar with install instructions from here )and flash/Install SuperSu .zip file(download zip file here) from recovery (TWRP) and you'll be rooted.
Also note that iRoot will mess with some "System" partition files and System integrity check test will not pass. Rooting through TWRP with SuperSU is the safest way to go.
And pls. just make a full backup including all partitions right after TWRP install.

Thanks. I had not seen this.

Hi Edius. Just downloaded your TWRP image files so I can root my T9, but they are recovery.img files and cant gey them to load. Any help appriciated.
I asume they are run from the T9 and no need to connect to PC.

You need to use spflashtool for recovery.img then from twrp install supersu

Thanks hocuspocus69. I have the SP Flashtool folder on my PC but there is no excute to run it.

Thanks hocuspocus69. I have the SP Flashtool folder on my PC but there is no excute to run it.

Look here under FAQ at point 3 you'll find some instructions and link from my GDrive for SP Flash Tool.
Extract archive on your desktop and you'll see that

Looking here you'll find two more SP Flash Tool's posted by @devilz-woolit
Maybe is a good ideea to read before anything else these posts..... 1 and 2

Thanks Edius but the .exe is missing. It may have been removed automatically by my antivirus. I will try a again.

Hi everyone, I am thinking about buying this tablet but have a few questions. What is the Audio quality like with headphones and is it possible to connect external keyboard?

I'm trying to decide between this one and teclast P98 4G. Hope you can help.

[giouncino]

If I were in you I would go for the teclast P98 4G, even if cube have a superb build quality.

[londonl]

Do you know what the main differences are between them?

[giouncino]

Only minor differences between them:

Cube has a 10.000mAh battery, Teclast a 8000mAh, cube weight a little bit more.
Battery lasts practically the same due to the good optimization of teclast and use of LPDDR3 RAM (instead of DDR3L of the cube).

The main difference is that Teclast P98 4G already has lollipop, while Cube unfortunately not.

Cube have had some touch screen issues, on Teclast P98 touch screen works perfectly.

I've had the possibility to test the P98 4G, ad if you remove the "Tui" launcher is a very good device.

[londonl]

thank you, how difficult would it be to remove that for someone with limited knowledge?

sorry for taking the thread a bit off topic.

[giouncino]

It's very easy, you need to install google stock laucher from play store, then at boot Android asks you which launcher to be used as default, if you set Google launcher, everything is done!

People should not be so gun-ho and hinging all their impressions on the Antutu results. I made that mistake when I first get my "feeling" from a trashy RCA Maven Pro. I scored a paltry 22k something. The Nextbook, a direct competitor, scored 32k something. So the RCA "felt" inferior. But then I started to run the benchmark side my side, such that I see the 3D animation stuff at the same time. Both showed about the same "jerkiness" when the animation becomes heavy. In fact the RCA looks "slightly" less choppy. And what do you know, looking at the details of the benchmark, while the integer/floating point speed of the Nextbook is about DOUBLE that of the RCA, the 2D and 3D, all that opengl stuff, is *FASTER* on the RCA. The end result is what counts! Not an Antutu score!
When I look on Youtube a full video of the Antutu running on this 9.7 Cube tablet, I am not seeing a majorly more smoother result than from my pedestrian RCA.
So you might have 8 CPU cores, great. What are those cores actually doing when running software? Right, all those cores are picking their nose, while all they have to do is hand off instructions to the GPU. Ok, that isn't *always* the case, but more often than not, it is ! ! !
When a developer makes an app, and wants that app to be as successful as possible, that developer is NOT going to overload the CPU with calculations. No. The game logic runs without too much demand on the CPU. The GPU in the meantime, does a best job it can to provide the best framerate it can.
People should run OTHER benchmarks, like Nenamark and whatnot. Not saying that that particular benchmark is good, but my point is that this entire Antutu religion is totally misleading !
It's so bad, in fact, that Chinese manufacturers can increase their sales by throwing more CPU cores at it, resulting in higher Antutu scores.
If the benchmark religion was weighing opengl performance more so, then those same manufacturers would be beefing up the 3D performance.
All this results in people thinking they're getting more performance, while in fact, you can view an "inferior" product side by side, not looking choppier at all.

Now, I know there are lot of other factors that can help the confirmation bias, like a long battery life and whatnot. But deep down, what people really want, is performance. Much of the other things help confirm the buying making decision.
Personally, I put more weight on the pure hardcore 3D performance. Does 3D animation look smoother if I throw more money at it.
I'm also skeptical about higher resolution. More pixels means having to move more pixels around. I don't understand devices with insane resolution, like 2500 x 1600 or something like that. It's ridiculous. Yes, it looks a little sharper. But a 10 inch tablet, say, is perfectly sharp enough with a 1920x1080 resolution. For companies like Samsung and Apple, that isn't good enough, because people are basing their decisions on more is better. Cameras are like that too. Oh, look at all those mega pixels. Yeah right, and each pixel is actually recording more detail? (not). Some cameras upscale to fool the customer. Customer happy, manufacturer happy. Some tablets have a 14 mega pixel camera. Rriigghhttt....

I am not trashing or saying that this Cube is a bad product. Not at all. In fact, I don't even know that product. I'm just frustrated that performance isn't measured right half the time. I used to always do, very first thing, do the Antutu thing, and then dismiss or praise based on just that. I know that was just plain wrong. But I think that many if not most, are doing the exact same thing. I can even see manufacturers play in to that by tuning their hardware to it...

I have to add another thing. A while ago, I got an ECOO E04 Aurora 3GB phone. 5.5" screen. Full HD. 44k Antutu (I know I know). It's *AWESOME*. It really is. It's been my trusty phone. But one thing that annoyed the crap out of me, is how there is absolutely NO software or firmware support!!! They *only* reason why they ONCE provided an upgrade from Android KitKit to Lollipop (and 5.0 only), was because they promised it in the presses when they were advertising it. There was a FAKE attempt one time where someone showed a beta of Cyanogenmod running on it. That effort produced one single iteration and nothing was fixed after that. That one is totally unusable. Yet people thought that before buying "oh, look, you can even run CM on it, I want it".
Then the Kitkat to Lollipop upgrade from ECOO turned out to cause all kinds of problems, like bugs, and short battery life. I *think* there might have been another "fix" but it didn't fix the problems. The geeks are running all kinds of software on it as workarounds to the Lollipop problems. ECOO can't be bothered to properly support it. The hardware of the ECOO is simply stunningly absolutely AWESOME! Still on the very best pockets devices ever conceived on this planet - for the money for sure. Yet the software is pegging it stuck in time. IT is what is going to make this phone outdated.
For instance... and this is a BIG one: STAGEFRIGHT! What an unbelievably massive bug and security hole that is. Think about it. All you have to do is receive a text (mms) message with a malicious payload, and a hacker can install a backdoor on your phone 100% invisibly. You don't even have to press a single button for that malicious payload to execute instructions on your phone. And it gets worse, it is possible that that same malicious payload built into a MP4 video files! That means you MUST not browse videos of ladys performing stuff without clothes on. Those providers might be tagging all kinds of hack attempts.
There is an app on the Play Store that lets you test to see if your device is capable of resisting against Stagefright. Almost every device out there, is vulnerable. Just like that! STILL too many still don't even know about this!
ECOO? Can't be bothered to fix it. You need something like Android 5.1.1.1.1 or whatnot to actually get the fix.
So now this Cube. It comes with 4.4.4 something like that. Did they "promise" Android 5.0? 5.0 won't cut it.
Will they provide anything beyond that? I almost guarantee, no they won't. They won't, because it would be like providing free labor, and software is what is going to make a device "old".
Buying a device now with 4.4.4 feels old to me now.

Personally, I am going to try to avoid buying anything that doesn't have CM for it, and then also an *ACTIVE* CM on it. I would demand being able to build it from source, so I can hack it further myself.
So, does CM work on Cube? Or perhaps there were false promises, like that was for ECOO...

I wish there was a business model where I could *pay* the manufacturer for continuous firmware updates. I would be happy to pay something like $50 per year to keep my phone nicely up to snuff. My phone costs $200. Over 4 years it would cost me $400. I'd rather have that, rather than being "up to date" only at the time of purchase - and even THEN, it's outdated when it arrives.

Perhaps a Nexus 9 might be better purely from a firmware / software perspective.
