Hi Alex,
ah, so after all it *was* a 32/64 bit issue.
Still very strange in these days to put a 32bit OS on a 64bit phone ...
Glad you cracked it.
In the mean time I succesfully installed pilbox on:
- Asus tablet
- Oukitel U11 Plus smartphone
Now going to try it out. Haven't had time to play yet :)
By the way: if you're interested in *great* smartphones for very cheap,
you'd better look at Gearbest, Aliexpress etc.
Recently I bought a similar Oukitel U11 Plus for €95 incl. shipping from
China ...
Some disadvantages:
- if package is intercepted by customs you have to pay BTW (in German: MWS)
but no import duties (at least not in Holland)
otherwise the price mentioned.
- takes about 3 weeks
- prices vary daily. So pick the best moment.
Advantages:
- fast smartphone
64GB memory
4GB RAM
Rest of specs you can find on websites. If you'd like to buy this way e.g.
on Aliexpress, beware that you check all offers. These offers are often
from individual sellers in China and prices often vary with 5 to 30 or more
dollars!
Best regards,
Arie
