At least ICS

I Wish someone can shed some light for lenovo K800 users. If Anyone can port razr-i ROMs & custom recovery to Lenovo K800 or from other medfield devices (ICS at least) that will be great . I Have an Engineering version of this Lenovo K800 which dont have "SD Update" Function in BSB Provisioning OS called Testmode (retail or newer version board have this) for upgrading to ICS through SD Internal. Mine cant even Upgrade to ICS throught USB phoneflashtool, everything LOCKED :(. At least can still root, push Play Store & Superuser - lefendotlenovodotcom

Good Processor, big 4.5" screen... but OLD OS, running GB2.3.7, some apk would not even install.

Intel announced its jelly bean ports are ready since september ... then it's up to manufacturers to do their wrapping and release job

sounds bad... can't use the "USB flashtool" at all ? how would the "engineers" do then, in engineering phases you flash it all the time... susect you may have aproblem with your USB driver. Have you read the previous pages?

If you are in China or can go there, bring it to Lenovo they can flash it for you in their service centers, then you have the right bootloader.

Don't dream of big efforts on porting or whatsoever on the K800, this phone was released to a very limited amount, if I understood the Lenovo forum right (its in chinese, translations are so so), so there aren't so many users (like a few K only or so).

Also, look at how many ppl come on this thread :(

Anway if you read page 6 & 7 you will see there is a release for a ICS image, I've been uploading a translated giude how to flash, with some troubleshooting. Been using it all the way since then, quite OK actually (and better than the GB, removing some of the annoying bugs like the camera startup, call drops...).

On the update side, I have been struggling for a while with WeChat, which does not run on more recent versions. Reverting to version 4.2 fixes the problem (Lenovo app store gives you access to older versions)

As for Gmaps, I installed it manually, by getting the app from a Gapps package from Cyanogen mods topics.
[Android General] CDNRower:
GMaps apk

I also have the China version of the K800, and am relatively happy with it. Big downside of ownership is the rejected apps in the Google Play store. Anyone know why that is? I have other Intel / Android products that have no problems with GPlay apps (Ramos W32).

On a positive note, I found an XDA thread with the GMaps apk:

[Android General] ManuLM:
thanks for the link...

For compatibility, as K800 was never officially launched outside of China, Google Play isn't well ported on this phone (I often face problems) and it is not well managed by Google Play, so the phone is often marked as non compatible. Other Intel based products do not face this problem (Motorola Razr-I for instance) as they have an international release and a proper Google Play handling.

With upcoming K900 it seems that there would be a release outside of China, so maybe we get Google Play right this time :)

Let's see what Lenovo does then on SW support / updates (K800 job has been very dissapointing... but I heard other China models are very well supported)

this was built in with elite 1.2 ics rom , this morning it is saying it has run out and when i try to update it via google play it errors on me

there is no option to delete it in app management only to disable it

anyone know of a workaround ?

regards :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hassanalip21:
if your mobile is rooted download root explorer then go to data\app then delete it from there .... and you didnt find it there you will find it in system\app and delete it from there and make a restart and you may re-install it :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zodiaxe66:
Or search in play store for root uninstaller,those apps can uninstall system apps.

But rootexplorer is the best file manager.also for modifying flashable zips like roms or theme where u want to delete or add apps in the rom.just extract and zip it up when u are finished modifying the rom.

If u delete the apps directly from system/apps then use "SDmaid"(app from play store) to clean out crap, leftovers from apps u delete.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diddledude:
thanks for quick reply , after getting root explorer on and changing permissions for solid explorer i finally managed to delete it :)

but now it will not install from Play...it says "error - incompatible update ?

shall i just stick with root explorer ?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hassanalip21:
dont update it . it works great
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diddledude:
i deleted it from system app like you advised

so went to play and had install option so i clicked install then that error came up

there was no update option to click

i wonder if reflashing the rom will fix it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hassanalip21:
reflashing is not the solution . try oi file manager it is awesome
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diddledude:
will do !

thx again for your time :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zodiaxe66:
Yeah, stick with rootexplorer, clearly the best, oi manager is also good, but in my opinion it lacks some of the features rootexplorer got.

If u want an innovative filemanager, then try androexplorer, there is a free version without root and zipping, but u get the idea what it's about with the free one and read on how to use it. I use it for moving files around.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diddledude:
haha guess wot..... elite 1.3 came out yesterday so i updated & flashed and OI is now the new file manager

sorted !! ;)

Do you have such stains? I hear this is normal among AMOLEDs.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LenAsh:
welcome to mass produced (aka economically viable) OLEDs...

Some patterning or colour patching is inevitable even from new. Blue or Grey backgrounds tend to show patches up more. Very low brightness shows a greenish cast on the left of the screen too.

It took more than a decade before LCDs could be produced in volume with a very low dead pixel yield.

We have a dozen GS2s at work and they all have minor screen issues. From new. They do get worse or even change position over time (many months) as the pixel level elements shift in luminosity.

Also note that if the phone is warm, the effect lessens.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Formhault:
Thank God I don't have dead pixels. At least this patch I got is visible only on dark-gray / medium-light (so-to-say, idk) brown. I'd rather have that than dead pixels :) .

Actually, if I start Screen Test, the patch is visible on ALL colors. On blue/red/green, it is less visible. On white, it is most visible. Also, when displaying full whites, the color is not homogeneous. Vertical and horizontal lines seem to be present ALL ACROSS the screen. These lines are visible on white, yellow and such colors.

At least I don't have ghosting effect :) and the whites are actually white, not yellow - as it was on Gingerbread (yeah, software problem, eh?).

So... the patch appeared to have vanished after running the fix (which rapidly ****s four colors) for half an hour, because the screen was a bit warmer... and as it cooled down, the patch has shown its face again. Oh well...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graemeg:
the galaxy note and s2 super amoled screens are prone to burn ins, very common, you need to eliminate risks involved.

Turn off auto brightness, lower the brightness level, shorten the time youre screen stays awake for, and if youre using themes, avid the blue themed ics ones, although they look nice, the blue themes are one of the biggest culprits of the burn in issue and before ya know it youve got a battery image burnt in.

i notice it looks like you have a blue theme or something, my mate had same issue, what can ya do, its a pain and well probably all suffer it, whereas htcs dont have the issue, they just suffer dead pixels a lot, but hey, id soone have slight burn in than dead pixels i guess
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Formhault:
F*** !

MIUI uses white & orange. Are those colors dangerous, too?

I mean... what colors should I avoid the most? Besides blue - I get it, it's bad (again, F***).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LenAsh:
Anything that turns the RGB elements hard on (!). So high brightness only and white is worst as this is RGB full on, then pure red, pure blue, pure green. Cyan, yellow and magenta are less risky. In theory.

In practice and the real world, just keep the brightness down a little and you'll get years out of it. And save battery - the screen is THE major power consumer...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graemeg:
+1 absolutely right, follow these simple rules and all should be good.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Formhault:
White requires all three elements (RGB), right? Blue = B. Which one should I stick to...? My logics tell me blue, but I hear AMOLED's blue color is so pure because of a compound from algae (rofl) and it wears off more quickly (if any of that makes sense).

Cyan, magenta, yellow... Yeah, I don't have that on AOKP, lol. And neither would I want a yellow theme. Magenta would be nice, though.

RGB... hell, those are the primary colors. How about we use black, with polarised glasses? That'd be a good deal, since I wear glasses, lol.

Seriously, guys, what do YOU do to make sure the screen doesn't get damaged over time? Don't tell me you're using a yellow-black theme. And setting the screen brightness to 50% or more is required outdoors, so...

-----

I just went to a showroom today. Seen the Galaxy Nexus there. It's on, with the brightness set to maximum, 12 hours a day, and it's been like that ever since they put it there - more than 3 months. Seeing anything strange here? :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graemeg:
well, as a rule i dont have wallpapers that have bright vibrant colours, i find it annoying and painful on the eyes, and if you have shortcuts on the homescreen it gets to looking messy, so i stick with dark colours, to be honest most of my wallpapers are black or almost black and my brightness is set at around 20%, and i dont struggle to see it outside in sunlight or anything, but this is just my prefernce, im sure everyone has different tastes, i think you should just enjoy your phone and use it how you wish, but try to avoid having it too bright, it should be ok.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Formhault:
I'll stick to the stock AOKP theme (blue, that is); but I will be careful not to raise the brightness above the point of 50%. And even if I do, I guess setting it to the maximum point for a few minutes (when the sunlight is very strong) wouldn't hurt...

Oh and mind archiving your black and dark wallpapers and sending them over to me? Please :D (I'm always happy to pile up such wallpapers)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graemeg:
Hello

I was curious, having come over from a galaxy note, i have had experience using cfroot flasher which we frequently used as a way to ROOT and push CWM cfrrot kernel to our beloved notes on GB.

Being new to the s2 forum i was hunting for ways to flash and root the s2 and suprisingly found quite a few ways which were totally un-neccesary and only increased the binary counter, i couldnt understand why anyone would flash a custom kernel in odin and increase the counter, creating a problem for the warranty.

Despite various people offering this solution i set out to find various methods of rooting the s2 without doing the above mentioned, i found 3 methods, the most interesting one being my 12 hour non stop experiment with cfroot flasher, back and forth i went from ics to gb and back to ics, 4 times, now although i had limited joy with cfroot flasher on ics, it didnt want to root ics when it came to the GB side, it happily ROOTED and pushed CFROOT kernel to the s2, no questions asked, giving full root access and CWM recovery.

I wondered if their was anyone reason why this tool isnt being used on the s2 forum, it certainly makes life a whole lot easier for noobs thats for sure, after all, if cwm can be gained with root, then stock firmware can be copied to a firmware folder on the sd card and prerooted and flashed to get rooted ICS, it works fine, and surely this tool could be worked on to further improve its capability if it isnt yet capable of directly rooting ics via zergrush methods.

Im not sure who the creator was, i think it was the man they call God, chainey himself, i may be wrong, but i think its his work so all credit as usual goes to him, this isnt my discovery or creation, just his work i experimented with, so i know chainey has lots going on and a whole list of projects, maybe he doesnt have time to do anything with it, but it would certainly be interesting if it could be utilised as a safe method of root and recovery.

If anyone has come across it on this forum then please do let me know, id be interested to read what previous results were had using cfroot.
