Installed A10710_A404_001_007_0091_US w CWM

Installed A10710_A404_001_007_0091_US

from lenovo FTP site with CWM with no problems. Only issue I have found so far is

wifi does not reconnect if

"Keep Wi-Fi on durring sleep" is set to "always";

then Wi-Fi does connect/work when waking from sleep; works fine and connects quickly

if set to never.

Computer Connection

I have flashed OTA ICS and have had it running for the last three days. It is operating flawlessly. Several apps won't load, but I have replaced them with ones that will.

To be very honest, I am not to sure which version I am running. The system will update every time. I assume that I have the latest and greatest, but I need to correct the version number. The one thing that needs to be supplied by Lenovo is a new set of drivers so we can mount the cards from our computers. Rooted like a champ with A1. I also got Bluetooth file transfer working.

Thanks to all for the great information on this thread.

OK, I did exactly as shown below, but when I try to load the ics_edited.zip file from CWM, it fails with:

Error in /sdcard/ICS1.2edited.zip

Status 7

Installation aborted.

What is going on?

I've also previously looked at post #91 and tried that. I can get back to 2643 fine but nothing I'm doing seems to get me to ICS.

I've spent 4 hours reading and re-reading many of these posts but somehow I must be missing something.

Any suggestions or link to a comprehensive update instructions would be very appreciated.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jpisini:
If you are going to use cwm use slimdroid v4. Otherwise you will have to reinstall stock recovery
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nccruz:
again... did you do a factory reset prior to installing ics_edited.zip????

what is the md5sum of your ics_edited.zip.... mine is 71db056d7c52ed71db713a9d6e92a45b... if different, download ics_edited again...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] half normal:
update issues

I have been playing around trying to update my A1 for a few days.

I have tried all the tricks that are on the boards.

I am getting the error 7 problem when trying to install.

I am able to go back to the stock OS without a problem. I have used CWM to format and remove all trace of any previous installs and have tried to update after a fresh reinstall of stock OS.

I have tried the install with and without CWM.

The install log claims that it is running out of disk space and that is why it is aborting. I have verified that I have 8 gigs available on the external SD card I am using and that I have 12 gigs internal to the A1. Internal SD is blank and has 8 gigs available.

I have not tried the slim version nor do I want to due to the fact that I should be able to use the OTA ICS version.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Updated ICS Using CWM

You cannot update to ICS using CWM unless you have ICS loaded and root. Go back to Lenovo's stock ROM without CWM installed. Boot to update screen, on and volume buttons simultaneously, clear everything, reboot and shut down. Using a clean external SD card, load ICS1.2edited.zip on to it and rename it to update.zip.

Check out this link http://gleescape.com/?p=554

A little foot note. The first time I downloaded ICS1.2, it was or got corrupted. I downloaded it a again and it was fine.

After you do a OTA update, I did mine twice, it appears that the version number is not updating, you can load CWM on and root using A1 rooter. Your good to go. Don't forget to rename or delete your update.zip files.

The one problem is you do not have the ability to use your USB to access your SD cards.

Updated ICS using CWM with OTA update. The second part is to boot to CWM and update. It worked without a hitch and I did not loose root. Now if I can figure out how to communicate with my notebook, I'm good to go.:good:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jpisini:
Not entirely true if you use the Slimdroid v4 you can indeed install ICS with CWM that is how I did it. Official firmware no it won't install unless you use stock.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] a1ics:
I had a problem where the A1 would not switch on, even holding power and volume down was not working. When trying to recharge the battery the orange light was not lighting up. I think that the cwm mod power off caused this problem.

So I left it for 4 days and then plugged it back in and charged up to 50% and now I can switch on again. If anyone has this problem - dont panic, just be patient.

---------- Post added at 10:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:07 AM ----------

I have a problem where I am in a continual boot screen. I see the lenovo logo, the screen goes black and I see the lenovo logo again. :(

I tried to follow this tutorial and installed the file A1_ICS_SD-Card.zip which I think was corrupted.

So I looked at this post (thanks nicknc) and using cwm-5.0.2.7-rev3-ideapad-a1.zip I tried to install A107W0_A234_001_015_2643_US.zip and A107I0_A404_001_012_0091_US.zip but not having any success.

Im not sure where I have gone wrong here, should I try the steps again or have I missed something?

Stereo bluetooth (A2DP) is broken on ICS build. I am pairing and testing with i.Tech clip radio. Sound is both lagging and choppy. Hopefully, Lenovo will get this fixed in the offical ICS release.

Bluetooth PAN is working flawlessly though. There is no need to root and install NC Tether to get bluetooth PAN support.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] clubtech:
Now that ICS has been released i have a few questions for current Mediapad owners that hopefully will help me decide if want to get one :)

1) I know that the mediapad is not the benchmark leader, do games like "temple run" and "wind up knight" run smoothly on it?

2) Is the native android SIP (internet calling) enabled in the final ICS version?

3) I read a lot of complaint out the touchscreen sensitivity. Has it been fixed in the latest ICS build?

4) How the web browser?

5) When you connect your mediapad through the HDMI out, how is the picture quality?

Any information you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] rurou:
1) yes.

2) no. At least it isn't exposed in the Huawei native phone app.

3) still the same, at least compared to the last beta build. Not really a problem though. But the jitter is more pronounced in high resolution setting (basically it will set the dpi to low, thus would look like 10" tablet scaled to 7"... Everything is smaller).

4) never encountered any problem. You can also use other browser like Dolphin and it would also be accelerated (basically Dolphin runs very smooth in ICS vs laggish in Galaxy Note).

5) looks low resolution (unless for portrait apps). So basically the same as previous build. I haven't use HC, so I don't know how much better it supposed to be, but compared to Galaxy Note, the note have better image quality but everything run more sluggish when using HDMI compared to mediapad which run very smooth but at lower resolution (and probably lower color depth also?).
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] PabloXIII:
1. Never mind the benchmarks, everything I've thrown at it runs smoothly (the likes of GTA III, DeadSpace, Shadowgun, Six Guns, and so on).

2. The client is not included.

3. I'm using hi-res mode and don't have any problems or annoyances.

4. I'm using Opera and it works great. Stock one is not causing any trouble either.

5. Not tested yet. Sorry.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] clubtech:
Thanks guys!

For the screen issue, does it mean yo sometimes have to tap twice on items when using high res mode?

I also read on some forum that there are issued with Skype video on the latest release. Con someone confirm?

I will download the system files and see how to enable the native SIP client. It is normally a setting in the framework-Res.apk file.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] rurou:
As long as you have steady hand/finger while tapping and light touch then it shouldn't be a problem. The biggest annoyance is when you play something that need steady aim like angry birds and shooting games (contract killer or other games that you basically need to hold your finger at the screen steadily) because it will be jittery. It isn't that you can't play it, but it definitely add an extra challenge to the game. Skype issue is mostly on the skype itself. I haven't tested it yet (on the official build), but I read in skype forum that some other ICS devices also have this green video problem.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] PabloXIII:
Not at all. However, everything is about half (two thirds maybe) the size when in hi-res, so if you have (very) large hands it might be a problem. Like rurou said "like 10" tablet scaled to 7""...

copy aapt.exe from the link i gave to apktool directory, INSTALL FRAMEWORKS AGAIN and try normally
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] reaper61616:
Phonebook.apk is hard to edit. You need to change some others 'strings' in many files in decompiled apk and probably it's not all... SemcMusic.apk is easier to edit.

I edit my SemcMusic.apk, but in phone I can't run it.:(

For now I'm on stock so I do not test and make changes in any apps.

I've got the solution. Go to http://www.sonymobile.com/us/tools/update-service/ and download the phone update tool. Install it and then update your smartwatch unless it says it has the newest firmware. Then the watch that before only showed 00:00 will connect via Bluetooth as it should and ask for the code that you must accept or decline. Accept it on phone and press the green symbol on the lower left corner of the smartwatch and you're done.
