Worwor: don't mind that calabar man called pa effiong, he expect his battery to last more than a day. Even galaxy s4 doesn't.
If i hear
My co-worker's SGS4 Bat3 last 2days on minimal usage.
I often play NFS btw 3-4hrs and just 10% bat3 drains off

Just finished porting clockwork mod into
brenda. Tested and working so I'm uploading it so
everyone can get a taste and also because you will need
it to flash my brenda v1.01.1 next week.
Steps:
1. Download mobile uncle from play store
2. Make sure your device is rooted and has debugging
enabled
3. Download recovery image from here: recovery.zip -
https://docs.google.com/file/
d/0B5j_NCLhSSvIX2hEeF9TMVRLTjg/edit?
usp=docslist_api
4. Unzip to the root of your mem card
5. Now open mobile uncle an recovery. Choose the
recovery.img u extracted and it will ask you for
permission to flash and the reboot.

Colin Adua: ACTUALLY, IN THE REAL SENSE, THIS PHONE IS NOT F7, TECNO RARELY CALLS THIS PHONE SO.

THE REAL NAME OF THIS PHONE IS PHANTOM A. NOT EVEN A1. I WONDER WERE THOSE NAMES CAME FROM.

AT THE BACK OF THE PHONE ITS WRITTEN; "Model: A"

I THINK "F7" IS NOT YET OUT.


@Worwor
What is the name of that digital clock widget on the screen of your n3? Where can I get it?

Peace!!!
no sir you are wrong,if you connect the device to your laptop it reads Tecno f7 and with Bluetooth connection to another phone it reads phantom A.....not A1 so you are right about that at least...I don't know where they got A1 from....

You sir, are quite observant; for I follow all things tecno and use all their touchscreen phones and have come to this same conclusion.

Let me explain, a mega phone make in Philippines is called CHERRYMOBILE and their android phones are like TECNO here, and their initial top offering is called OMEGA HD just like the PHANTOM A, and they have just gone OMEGA HD version 2 with 1.2Ghz quad processors which matches the promise bandied by tecno for their next phone after the N7. To cut a long story short, I'm waiting patiently for that quad phone.

And oh, here are the specs:
Cherry Mobile Omega HD 2.0 specs:

MediaTek MT6589 chipset
1.2GHz quad-core CPU
Imagination Technologies PowerVR SGX544 GPU
1GB RAM
4GB internal storage
microSD expansion (up to 32GB)
5-inch IPS-LCD display with Dragontrail glass (720 x 1,280 resolution; 294ppi)
12-megapixel rear camera with BSI technology and LED flash
2-megapixel front camera with BSI technology
2,100mAh battery
Android Jelly Bean

And a link to a video too....

Colin Adua: Who says Tecno Phantom A is over priced?

Let us be very reasonable. It true that in business we should remove sympathy and emotions, I dont mind being emotional because these Tecno guys have tried.

Which samsung, htc, lg, motorola, nexus, blackberry, smartphone comes with a power bank?

This phone goes as low as N32,500 with power bank of around N4,000.

That THL W8+ does it come with power bank?

Tecno guys know us very well with our NEPA issues and they moved to help. Tecno's reasonability is why I like them in the first place.

They are not only shipping out phones to us but they are looking for where we have problems with them and they are fixing them.

Remember, by selling this phone at as low as N32500, they are still taking money from it to pay salaries at their various carl care.

Haba people lets be reasonable now, these guys are trying, a beg.

Good morning all!!!

Also before go, hollasyd posted twrp. Dont compare dem as dey do the same thing... If this is the first time you are using recovery i suggest u use twrp because it has a user friendly ui.

Also if its only the recovery you flash you CANNOT BRICK YOUR PHONE... So please do just dat and make a backup before trying anything else. 08068081502. Contact me anytime nd i will answer your questions.

Read my instructions properly.
Mobile uncle is the easiest and safest way of flashing the recovery.img I dropped. After flashing, back up up your phone incase it crashes in future.
Re: Tecno F7 (Phantom A1) Discussion Thread by AdemolaGoc: 9:28am On Jun 16, 2013

Thanks. Seriously thinking of selling my iPhone4 now but I'm still not familiar with these android terms like Rooting, Mobile Uncle etc. Now my questions is, if I get this phone, must I do most of these thing b4 I start enjoying it cos I love games a lot. And is there FiFa 13 in the Android market?
