new device – terrible touch sensitivity OR no wifi

[Bill Christiansen]

You probably have a later version where they changed the gsensor.

The best Android for Hi12 is CM12.1

First you will need TWRP recovery. There are different ways to do that but one is replacing recovery.img and boot.img  in the stock ROM folder before flashing.

Thanks for answering, Bill!

Yes, I guess I have a very recent model. Serial number is higher than any I have read about: Q64G451611XXXXX. Has there been a change since 451609XXXXX? That’s what I can get a CM12.1 for.

I have not read anything about a changed gsensor. Anything I need to know about that? I can find a “g-sensor rom firmware pack” online but there is absolutely no information with it. These COULD be the files to replace but how can i KNOW?

Do certain recoveries/BIOS/ROMs not work with this new sensor?

I had stumbled across the CM12.1 page you linked before, but got stuck at installing TWRP. Where can I find a recovery & boot image suitable for my CPU (Z8350)? Did you find any? Or can I use any as long as it’s Cherry Trail? I can find files for Hi10, but that’s a very different machine, isn’t it?

And I can find the CM12.1 files for Hi10 and the patch to Hi12. They contain a recovery-from-boot.p Pascal script but no image. I can’t flash those zips, can I?

Can you help me a step further? Thanks!

The TWRP I’m using I got from this thread:

Tethered TWRP / Clean Root / Android exFAT+NTFS support for Hi12 Dual Boot

but I have an older Hi12 so not sure of it’s compatibility with latest version. If Remix was working except for screen rotation then it’s probably just the change in g-sensor which TWRP doesn’t use so should be ok.

I had a look on the Chuwi forum but it wasn’t really clear what stock firmware to use for Z8350 cpu. Hopefully they will correct that.
