Upgrade GB -> ICS

Dear all,

my Lenovo A750 was with GB, rooted with googleplay etc....

After flashing it with ICS from EtoTalk , i lost everything, including the root rights.

I was following all 48 Pages, tried different stuff without sucess and without to find an answer to one question :(

Is there any ICS Package in the net that i can download and FLASH it so that i have a rooted and nice working CYBERMAUS Version without chinese Bull****? :crying:

Thanks in Advance,

scuda

need info on rooting

@cybermaus/bgcngm -- noob here. I'm planning to buy Lenovo P700 here in the phils. It has MT6575. I'd like to ask for info on how to root this phone.. TIA
[Miscellaneous Android Development] oz42:
If you do not mind losing it all again: flash Cybermaus V0 (it's a full flash), then V1 (an update zip, put it on ext. SD and flash from recovery), then V1.3 (flash from recovery)

---------- Post added at 11:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:17 PM ----------

To me, it looks as if the P700 is a A750 with IPS display and nicer design. Yes, I love my A750, but I know it looks ugly. :silly:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bf360s:
@OZ42:

You mean flashing the "a750_s305_120514_cybermaus_ics_v0.rar" using the flash tool, then using the recovery mode from the flashed ICS to update to "a750_s306_120530_cybermaus_ics_v1.zip" and as a last step to use again the recovery mode for "a750_s306_120530_cybermaus_ics_v1.3.zip"......

Thanks in advance, :good:

nice greetings from germany.....

[Miscellaneous Android Development] oz42:
@bf360s: exactly. The phone will work fine then, only charging the phone when it is off will fail - crash when battery is at 100% => you'll need to remove the battery to reset the phone. Cybermaus told me in this thread how to get around it - you must flash UBOOT and PRELOADER from Cybermaus' A750_S148_120428_cybermaus_V1.rar
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cybermaus:
If you have a working recovery for it, very simple: Flash Chainfire's root package. (The CWM installable ZIP at the bottom)

So the trick is to get a working recovery image for the P700

PS: alternatively, try to get the complete flashable ROM from your vendor. That will also allow us to help you.

Going back to my post 436 still haven't found solution to run my sim card from Aero2 on A750 phone. Read lot of informations describing problems with other phones and found information about HTC Desire soft bug where user got an info that connection was not able to made, there is no signal indication but phone works with the network. Is there any options using mobileuncle tool (maybe in networkinfo) that could help with my problem.

I've tried other operator sim(working on 2100MHz freq) and it works well on this phone.

Thanks in advance for any hints.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mp00:
Than you should check if your device is able to operate data only HSPA/UMTS network connection in 900MHz band, since this is the frequency used by aero2.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] andrewkanan:
Michał

Unchecking UMTS 900 MHz freq using mobileuncle tool makes that sim card is not detected by phone, than I can be shure that phone is 900MHz comapatibile only:) don't want to conect to network.

@cybermaus: haha, even etotalk is using your ROM... http://www.etotalk.com/blog/?p=714
[Miscellaneous Android Development] miko88:
The cybermaus's rom are only English language? Why not multilanguage?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dzenk:
Cybermaus is improving the original ROM from Lenovo which is only China and English version.

There are some multilanguage ICS ROMs that one can find in the Internet such as one from Anton_Vrn (china-iphones.ru) and some from Smiley @ apkhot.

Myself I'm using the smiley version 707 based on the ICS 4.04 for a couple of days now. Additionaly I had to install the GAPPs and the Cybermaus 1.3 Pack to get it work properly. It is also just Chinese/English version, but it has some advantages in compare with the multilanguage ROMs:

- better camera

- low energy consumption in standby mode

- really nice background in menu options turning from black on the top to shiny dark blue on the bottom of the screen

- great unlocker

Unfortunately:

- I can't separate the notification volume from the ringtone volume allthough I use the Android Assistant which shoud make it possible...

- Once (in 4 days) my radio module went in failure, I had to restart the phone, hopefuly it was just one-time problem

- I find the Lenovo dialer really great, the one from smiley is just common one

I am probably keeping this ROM.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hash84:
guys, i'm having some troubles with my phone.

flashed in this order:

a750_s305_120514_cybermaus_ics_v0.rar

a750_s306_120530_cybermaus_ics_v1.zip

a750_s306_120530_cybermaus_ics_v1.3.zip

everything works great except one thing : randomly, if a try to make a phone call, after i select which sim should i make the call from, the phone hungs.

randomly, after ending a call, the phone hungs.

i can't use it like this. i tried to disable the proximity sensor. same result.

i put preloader and uboot from version 148. same.

everything else works.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cybermaus:
Sorry to hear.

Can you try the stock factory S306 ICS, and see if the problem persists?

Even if you do not want to use the stock, it will help you track down the problem. I am inclined to say it is related to either you phone hardware, or your SIM/provider, because I do not remember anyone else having those sort of issues.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hash84:
right now )for 2 hours) i am on your version 148. but the caller id problem is very annoying. for temporary fix i use prefixer.

Hi,

I got my A750 etotalk...firmware build number is: A750 S306 4.0icsV1.2 MODby dean@etotalk.com

If understand it correctly I directly update to a750_s306_120530_cybermaus_ics_v1.3? Or do I have to go via a750_s305_120514_cybermaus_ics_v0 to get a clean version?

Thx for your help!

kind regards

Floris
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cybermaus:
Well, at least there is a workaround. So, still stability problems?

Also, comparing with another modded ROM may not be as definitive as using a factory ROM.

If you do V1.3, you will keep the etotalk ROM, but re-write the play store and location services. If you want the full Cybermaus, you should do V1, then V1.3.

However, maybe you want to stay on Etotalk and check its quality? I heard good and bad reviews, maybe you want to report? Is it truly multilang? Is there anything particularly good or bad about it?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] metzner:
Hi cybermaus,

Thx for your reply! I already discovered it own my own :) First I did cybermaus 1.3 only but nothing really changed...so I did a full V 1.0 update and then V 1.3 again...now I understand how it works :)

Rom differences etotalk (1.2 and 1.3) and cybermaus V1.3:

I asked etotalk if they can send me their 1.3 rom but day say that their 1.2 and 1.3 do not differ (“we just added some apps in 1.3”). So generally speaking the etotalk rom is okay but I had big trouble with my exchange account because the phone could not make a connection with the incoming server (shows an error after a while). Now with cybermaus V1.3 I did not have any problem at all with my exchange. But there are no big differences between the etotalk rom and the cybermaus 1.3. I think the etotalk rom is not really multilanguage (btw: can you define multilanguage?)…it is maybe a little bit faster/smoother but this may be influenced by the ADW launcher but I like the Lenovo IdeaDesktop, too…so I will give it a try…otherwise I will switch to ADW (should be no problem, right?).I have not tested my phone fully but everything seems to work…earlier I had a HD958…the Lenovo is really a great dualsim phone…

BTW: the calendar still suffers from Chinese week days…any idea how to fix this or how to use an alternative calendar?

Is there any way to donate so I can give you back something in return of your hard work?

Kind regards,

Floris
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cybermaus:
Well, I would say that multilingual means the build in functions (phone dialer, settings, sms, contacts etc) is in multiple languages other than English and Chinese. So at least French, German, Spanish, but probably even more like Italian, Polish, Russian. The more the better, but the thing is, it is about the phone internals that should be properly displayed in those languages.

"Fake" multilingual is if you can set the phone's locale in those languages, but only 3rd party apps react to it, and internal apps stay at English.

"True" multilingual would probably be if those extra languages can even be selected from the internal settings itself, so no need for a "locale" selection program. But personally, if you need a locale program, but internals still react to it, it is good enough, so I would still call that multilingual.

But other people may have other definitions.

There was a alternate calender app in this thread 5 pages or so back.

Yesterday after a weeks with Cybermause ICS rom I want to test smilevvv rom and CM ginger ROM.

My problem where with both roms I only have my sd card, the internal sd of 2Gb dissapear with a750cm7.2v1.3 a 2.3.6 version and with Apkhot_lenovo750_4.0.4_0707_Smilevvv.

I have to install another rom like anton_rvn ICS v3.01 to detect again my internal sd memory but not it change and the principal memory es my sd and the internal don't use.

Can anyone tell me how to install the smilevvv or the CM ginger and recognize the internal SD memory?

And another question how to change the sd internal memory became the main memory.

Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hash84:

@cybermaus...ok..I got the calader fixed...just added the original andoid calender with root explorer and renamed the lenovocalendar apk..it works!

I think the etotalk rom is fake multilingual...you can internally set different languages (e.g. German) but the internal apps stay English....I got the A750_S306_4.0icsV1.3_Dean@etotalk rom now but I´m not allowed to spread it :-/

Kind regards,

[Miscellaneous Android Development] oz42:
I tried to modify Apkhot_lenovo750_4.0.4_0623_YS_V3_Smilevvv today using Custom Rom Creator Studio, deodexed LatinIME.apk from Cybermaus' ICS ROM using AutoDEOTool1.0.3 and added it (the Smileyww ROM only has baidu input), removed Chinese stuff and built an update package.

Result: nice boot logo, but not more.

I guess I am too much of a n00b here... :confused:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jehusaunders:
has anyone used their microsd as the primary storage? also, how do you change it, so that pictures are saved on the memory card?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] oz42:
Yesterday I tried Apkhot_lenovo750_4.0.4_0623_YS_V3_Smilevvv with added Android keyboard. Nice ROM, but why do autostart apps not start automatically?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] newbie_vlc:
Anyone try Smilevvv 150 ginger version? I prefer ginger because is more quickly.

This rom uses an couverage icons very nice and I want to use them información another ginger rom because This Smilevvv rom came without gapps and the only recognize the internacional memory and no the external sd card.

Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] leFloyd:
I have used both the GB version, that came with the phone and the ICS version from Cybermaus. I didn't find a difference in speed, but a huge difference in usability...

Other question: Is there a possibility to modify the camera app in ICS, so that it uses the DCIM folder instead of "My Pictures" and "My Videos"?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cybermaus:
Not sure if you can modify the camera app, but what you could do is create a symbolic link or bind mount, so that "My Pictures" and DCIM are actually the same.

Example:

mount -o bind /mnt/sdcard2/DCIM "/mnt/sdcard/My Pictures"

This would ensure that the (empty) My Pictures directory would appear to hold all the content of DCIM, and also if you write a new image, it would really be created in DCIM.

You could put this in a script in SManager, like I suggest for iGO here, to do this more automatically.

reinstall a fresh rom

Hi, i am noob , i have a lenovo a750 ,it comes with 2.3.6 after I install ICS 4 but i have all kind of chineze thinks(wheather, calendar, caller id...) what can i do ?

Help me please.

How can I delete this ics (something like FORMAT in windows if existi in ANDROID) and reinstall a fresh english ICS 4.03.

Thank you.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] oz42:
Just install Cybermaus' V1 and the V1.3 patch afterwards. Then do a factory reset.

Hmm. Can you format /system from recovery before flashing V1 ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mdgtall:
-I wipe data -delete all users

-I wipe dalvik cache

-i reinstall V1

-I patch v1.3

and i have the lovely chineze :(

i need a clean English (only english) install

Please help me !!

Thank you !!!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cybermaus:
Actually, memory starts to fade, but I think it is /data that needs to be cleared for an ICS, because stock ICS installs into data. And my V1, unlike V0, does not clear data.

However, you should simply be able to uninstall them. Maybe what you mean is not so much that the apps are still there, but that the Lenovo Cloverleaf still refers to them? Do you see them from the app drawer, or only from the Cloberleaf? Did you try a regular uninstall?

Edit: for some reason that last post did not show up yesterday. Anyway, I still have the same question: Are you talking about the cloverleaf, and did you try simply uninstalling?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] oz42:
When you do not format /system and flash a de-chinesed ROM, the ROM will find the left over Chinese apps in /system/vendor or /system/app at the 1st reboot. So formatting /system is a must if the update zip does not do that automatically. This is the way how to integrate other apps like the native Android keyboard LatinIME.apk. Just copy it to /system/app, set file permissions to -rw-r-r and reboot. The ROM will find it and integrate it.

Yesterday I hat a look at "CPU Spy". Did you know that the CPU runs at 1 GHz or at "deep sleep"? So I installed AnTuTu CPU Master free and set the kernel governor to ondmand. After that the CPU run at the other frequencies (500, 250 and 166 MHz), but I got an autoreboot (kernel panic perhaps) every now and then. Any ideas why?

Help me ask the following problem.

I recently purchased a Lenovo A750 phone with ICS 4.0.3 ROM. I think the gravity sensor (accelerometer) is not appropriate calibration solutions. Rotate the phone when the screen is not always rotate. Most often do not want return to the upright position. I downloaded several leveling applications. They also show that another position is calibrated. When rotating (moving) the phone is also moving bubble. So the gravity sensor looks good, but I could not find a solution to the calibration option.

I tried the next ROM:

A750_S148_120428_cybermaus_V1

and A750_S306_120530_cybermaus_ICS_V1 (with V1.3)

Thank you in advance for your help.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mdgtall:
Thank You

I uninstall it manualy, i have in chineze just the callendar, but it is ok it' not disturb me.

Now I have problem with flash player.

You know how to fix it ?

i download from google play but at the configuration I am noob :o
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Cuoco92:
Hi,

You have to decompress (with 7zip or winrar) the flash player apk and extract the lib files. Then put them im to system\lib and set all to rw-r-r with root explorer. Now you have to install the flash player as system apk or just copy it into system\app and set it to rw-r-r. Reboot and anjoi ;)

Thanks, it worked

Just got my A750 last Friday.

Happy-happy, joy-joy, I love it, such a beautiful toy for grown-ups! Cheap, powerful, beautiful and frugal [for a 4-inches dual-sim smartphone].

Since the delivery took ~3weeks I had all the time to read this topic, even if I was hoping I wont need it...

I got the Lenovo official ROM, 2.3.6 [v150] partially in English, partially in Chinese. I decided to put Cybermaus's GB v148 ROM.

BUT FIRST, I decided to 'restore to factory defaults'. Dont ask why...I just did it. And ended up with a 100% Chinese language. Nevertheless I managed to click the right buttons and changed the ROM.

Thank you Cybermaus!

awaiting for your next ICS release:highfive:

Mobile data problem

Hello everyone,

I am using Apkhot_lenovo750_4.0.4_0623_YS_V2_Smilevvv rom and, sometimes, the phone freezes and I cannot do anything to worm it back again.

This morning freezed when the alarm was ringing and I had to take out the battery to stop the alarm :)

The most annoying thing after such a forced shutdown is that the mobile data connection is not working any more. The wifi is ok.

What I'm doing is restoring a previous backup and then the mobile data is working.

Can anyone help me with that? Do I have to delete some cache or something in order ti fix the mobile data without restoring the backup?
