Cube T9 64bit octacore A53 4G beast.

[Edius]

...............
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...

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

Wow. That's an impresive post.
One little difference is the most of us here have this device for over six montht.
A few months in my opinion have no value since hardware meets all possible requirements for now in Android world.
Please do not tell me about Android M..
I have an OnePlus One phone, perhaps that's the most "software devlelopementsupported"phone with an impressive community/developers/modders.
CM/COS is just a shit when you are looking to device stability, with nightly releases who brokes what was fixed few days earlier.
CM's true value are developers like SultanXDA, Slim Saber, XenonHD, etc who are truely shining and CM stable/nightlies is just a base for them.
KitKat 4.4.4 was/is awesome regarding stability/battery life and in Oneplus world people are going from COS12/CM12 to CM11.
In Cube's world I'm pretty happy with 4.4.4 ...looking even at stragefright vulnerabilities I haven't stored any vital information on phone/tablet (that stays in an encrypted folder in my PC/Cloud).

Imo a bad update is still better than no updates at all.
T9 hardware is really good but its not used to its full potential. Its a 64bit system that needs lollipop to max its performance.

That is why i wanted lollipop. And let's face it the gui looks outdated too.
But where it gets reaaly bad is the lack of support for the device. Stagefright exploit is fully open on this tablet and i wonder what other exploits exist in kitkat that we are not aware. Cube failed to provide us a fix for this.
This tablet has other software problems that will never be solved because cube decided long time ago that this device is history.
I will not buy cube again and i will make sure that if i but from Chinese company again i will only buy from someone that provides long term support in the form of firmware updates like xiaomi.
sure the updates might break something or slow down the device but at least i know there will be an update to fix that.
These companies have to realize that they cant continue to sell devices and discontinue to provide updates after three months.
the technology has matured that it is powerfull enough for several major os updates.

Agree with you in most part of your thoughts, @hammerjoe.
In next 6 - 8 months my T9 will be replaced with a brand new one .... tablet.
In the meantime T9 is pretty good for my needs (with some customization).
I'll make some tutorials if someone is really interested about how to minimize default screen brightness, enlarge system partition (2GB is very tiny for me), have external SD card with full R/W rights, lower defult DPI for a better management on the actual screen, etc.
This thread is almost dead and will take some time from my part (and I'm not very convinced about these needs in Cube community).

Edius don't bother. This device is old news. Development has stopped and people that got it are probably thinking of moving to a newer device or not bother tinkering with it.
with android now being ahead two major revisions this device although with very and capable hardware is obsolete.

Anyone using the root booster app?
i just found it and installed it and used the personage settings. Let's see if it makes any difference.

[hammerjoe]

Governor changed to performace with cpu0 set to 1859mhz unless other cores wake up and it changes to 1600mhz. Don't know what other changes it makes.
no crashes so far. Well try to measure battery performance

Edius
let me know if you found a worthy tablet in ~6-8 months time.
Cheers

Today i used root booster again and changed to battery saving mode. The govrrnor is changed to interactive. Well see how it works. Antutu scores are very similar so we'll have to see on the battery usage. No crashes

[zenki]

anyone here know how to keep the on-screen/virtual buttons (back, home etc) on top of apps, instead of auto hiding (with some apps)?

thanks

If I were in you I would switch the governor to "ondemand". I think it's a better way to use a multicore SoC than Interactive governor...

All this talk about LP for the T9 has me looking to a new tab as well.

Any thoughts on the i6 Remix that is rolling out? Hopefully by the time it gets some legs, Lollipop (within Remix) will be a reailty.

[hammerjoe]

The i6 remix runs on intel processor. I don't think it can be ported to the T9.
but aren't there lollipop roms for the same CPU used by the t9?
why aren't they ported toT9?

Hi,

I broke touch screen just the upper oné. Do you know any tutorial how to change it?
I have new screen from Cube, no service in my town wants to repair it (they are suckers, they dont repair chinese shit, they say)

I was speaking to LP being used in the Remix OS, which it has. It would be neat if Remix could be ported to an MTK, but I haven't seen it anywhere.
