Clone Phone FAQ

[WuddaWaste]

Hey @mengel . Happy belated Birthday.

Short version: I recommend against flashing a ROM unless you know it'll work. If you choose to go this route, make sure you back up your current ROM correctly because there's a super high probability you'll end up going back to it.

Do everything you can to verify your hardware on your phone. Even though the phone is reporting having an MT6592, your GPS problems make me think that your specs are being faked. Unfortunately, the older MediaTek SoC have known issues with weaksauce GPS. It's a hardware issue and cannot be overcome with software. The good news is that the MT6592 era of processors really do have decent GPS, but the bad news is that I'm skeptical your phone actually has an MT6592 processor. Did you install Antutu yourself, or did it come pre-installed on the phone? What was your overall Antutu score?

Also, as a paranoid-precaution, I urge you to scribble out the IMEI on the picture you posted. It's a good idea to just keep that number to yourself.

Have you tried any third-party camera apps? I side-loaded Lenovo's camera (Snap It, See It) onto my last several phones and have really enjoyed it. Surely there are others out there which offer more flexibility.
