[Miscellaneous Android Development] gerstavros:
it 's probably due to bad quality or problematic charger
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cybermaus:
It's *absolutely* due to a bad quality charger.

I have the exact same thing: If I use my dell original laptop charger, and then also USB-charge the phone, no problem. If I use a cheap Chinese Laptop charger, screen goes nuts. If I pick up the phone, I need to remember to unplug the cable first.

It's the leaked electric static, it confuses the capacitive touch screen, which is also based on small electric currents.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gerstavros:
Is that dangerous for the device?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cybermaus:
Good question. My guess is that if the problem is only some 'leaked' static it is probably just annoying, but if the charger also had other bad items, like pulsed voltage, high voltage, it could be dangerous. So some bad chargers are dangerous, others are just annoying.

Your charger is probably OK (otherwise the phone was already broken), so don't be too scared by this example of 'bad chinese' stuff.

You need to be a bit of a electrical engineer/hobbyist to fully understand that link, but basically this cheap 'charger' would blow out your phone immediately, as it puts 12V directly on the USB bus.

Edit: While on the subject: This cheap Chinese SSD is also hilarious (meaning, if someone else then yourself bought it)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] theknic:
thank you, that did the trick :)) about the weird bug while charging.

I guess no one experienced problems with copied text messages. Also sometimes it does a loop while i;m trying to exit the message application.

Ex: I have a conversation open with one of my contacts, i hit back and it goes back on a list with my recently used contacts for texting, i touch again back button, it show a processing icon ( small circle) and shows the same list. No matter how many times i hit the return button while it displays that list, it's the same screen.

Of course i can exit the loop by touching the "show desktop" button.

No one has encountered this one either? :))

Thank you!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] myxal:
Hm, just noticed this on your previous ROM (S106):

Have a phone-only contact with multiple numbers (I don't use any other type of contacts).

Go into the phone app, contact list, and dial a number that is not first (2nd, 3rd…). Nevermind, it seems all dialling is affected on my phone. :(

Observe the dialing screen: It shows "Unknown contact".

After the call, go back into Phone app -> Call history and observe the list. The call you just made is also listed with "unknown contact."

Anyone else having this problem?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cybermaus:
Well, I should probably wait for others to respond, but the S106 is soo old, I am sure if this was a common problem, it would have been observed before. By yourself even.

You did not have this before you resized your partitions? How did you rebuild /data after your resize it? Restored using Titanium or something?

If so (and this is just a wild guess), could it be the contact search & sort index is somehow damaged because it is now on a different partition? I am not sure how, unless if the index has direct pointers to inodes or something. But I think you should sync your contact with gmail or exchange or whatever you use, clear contact data, and sync them back in, so the search and sort index is rebuild.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] myxal:
I don't actually remember, because I make and take very few calls. After being done with the resize yesterday, I restored some system apps (launchers, mostly, and a "Lessons" app, which I never found out what did, so I removed it) from a Ti-Backup folder I made on the etotalk ROM. Looks like it made the phone app brainfart. Now, after using your delete-contacts zip patch in recovery and re-importing the contacts from a vcf file, everything seems to work normally.

Okay, regarding your 3.2:

Got a boot loop after applying the zip and erasing /cache :(

After restoring /system from a previous backup, boot loop persists.

Restored /boot from a previous backup, phone works (with old /system).

The "previous backup" is from before the /data resize, so it shouldn't matter. I'll now re-apply the 3.2 zip and just wipe cache and restore /boot from my old backup.

---------- Post added at 01:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:30 AM ----------

After advanced-restoring just /boot from my ald backup, the 3.2 ROM boots and runs fine.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] oz42:
Same here. Boot loop, even after doing a wipe data. Seems to be a kernel problem.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] myxal:
Also of note regarding 3.2 ROM:

The music app was replaced with one that is Lenovo-themed. Due to the massive (1-2) lag before displaying a list and non-working "folders" list. I consider it inferior to the original.

The FM transmitter app is missing.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cybermaus:
Ok, I locked the download. 10 people have it so far, please do not apply.

Funny. /boot is the easy part. I did notice the init binary had changed.

This V3.2 is using the A789_S230 kernel with the P700i boot. I can do a few things:

- 1) rebuild it the same way, to see if I made a typo before

- 2) rebuild it using the A789_S230 init binary too

- 3) simply use the A789_S228 kernel again, like in V3.1

- 4) use the P700_S107 boot verbatim (this one should fail, wrong screen driver. But if we are testing anyway....)

- 5) use the A789_S230 boot verbatim (should be identical to 2, unless if there is an error in the build tools)

If I build all 3 boot's, would either of you be willing to test them?

PS: Ok, so put back the old 3.1 music app. As to FM transmitter: are you sure? I am pretty sure I put that in there. Oh wait, I see it: FMTransmitter is one of the odexed apps. I forgot, so I copied over an nearly empty apk.

Edit: Were you talking about internal Music Google Play Music app?

The internal Music app's apk has doubled from 1MB to 2MB. Must be packed with nieuw goodies. Are you sure you want the old 1MB version back?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] oz42:
I could test that. Can you provide A789_S230 init+kernel as update.zip?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cybermaus:
I will, but this afternoon only. Need to do some real work first ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] oz42:
Me too. Time to earn some money now. :cowboy:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cybermaus:
There are 5 patch files in Dev-Host, matching the 5 cases described in the above post. Please test and let me know. Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] myxal:
I'm talking about the plain "Music" app (not Play Music)

As to which better - tough call. On the one hand, the new music app has a much better widget (large buttons, which actually work). On the other hand, the white screen with is not only laggy, but feels completely out of place with the rest of the app. Also, it's missing the in-app menu entry to launch FM transmitter.

Now, for the test result for patch 1:

it boots

old music app is back, but is missing the link to FM transmitter

FM transmitter is present, but doesn't work. ("Unfortunately, FM transmitter has stopped")
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cybermaus:
Hmm, so I made a typo first time round when making the boot.img, all is normal.

Good, thanks for testing. I am removing the other patches.

For the FM transmittor: Please remove FMTransmitter.odex from /system/app, reboot and try again. And if that fails, please try the old FMTransmitter that was already in this post.'

Easiest way to install is to start ADB terminal from MTK Droid tools, and run command "adb push FMTransmitter.apk /system/app/"

As to the Music.apk, from the sound of it, stuff will be best if we simply add in the old one, or wait if we cannot get an even newer one in a month or so.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] myxal:
Patch 2: Same results as #1.

Patch 3: Same results.

Patch 4: Yup, bootloop.

Patch 5: Same as #2

---------- Post added at 07:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:58 PM ----------

Yes, that fixed it - no need to put in the old one.

I see what you did there :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cybermaus:
LOL. Nope, was an accident. I am not that clever or witty.

Anyway, thanks again for your feedback. I'll make and upload V3.21 asap.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cybermaus:
Ok, v3.21 was uploaded with the build problems fixed.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gl01bxg2003:
Is this ROM compatible with Lenovo P700 without "i"
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cybermaus:
No. For the P700 (no i) I advise to either flash the latest factory official international edition P700_ROW_S114_120903, or search for custom ROM, but always for the P700 specifically, and definitely never the P700i.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cybermaus:
I have had 28 more downloads since uploading v3.21

Surely one or two of you can confirm basic correctness of the ROM, so I can remove the warning label?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] osoer4:
Hello,

I am tasting since 2 hour. It is work, but I do not find the TTS setting, where coud set the svox tts!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cybermaus:
There is no tts settings on the Lenovo ROM's.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] osoer4:
That OK!

The new ROM are working well till now!

It is great work, many thanks!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] icedeocampo:
Hi Cybermaus,

Sorry if I seem to ask a dumb question, I just want to make sure (I did brick my phone last time, if you remember).

I have a P700i and would like to update to rooted firmware (I am on your P700i_ROW_S106_cybermaus_ICS_V3.1), is there an updated version which came up later than the V3.11.

Thanks in Advance
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cybermaus:
Not sure what you mean with "rooted firmware"

If you are on the P700i v3.1, then you are 'rooted'

I am working on a new v3.2 based on official S107, however there may not be much difference with the v3.1 based on official S106. The only difference someone found was a new music player, and he did not like that, so the music player was downgraded before.

But I will post the v3.2 one of these days anyway. Maybe there are 'hidden' bug fixes.

Edit: P700i v3.21 is posted on Dev-Host too.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sandrofm:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] amresh:
Any comparison result on battery (this ROM vs stock ROM)?

Any comparison result on battery (this ROM vs stock ROM)?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cybermaus:
Its just a cleanup, other than that, the ROM is still stock, so I would expect battery to be identical. Maybe a little better because I remove some autostart apps, but it will not be much.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sandrofm:
Ok, when you release this ROM please test touch buttons. My A660 have four touch buttons (menu, home, back and app switcher). The app switcher does not work on v.3.1 ROM. Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cybermaus:
And alas, it will not work on v3.2 also.

It is a known issue: the A660 kernel issues a signal for the 4th button that the P700i ROM does not understand. I am not expecting that to change with the latest ROM version.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] stealthdc:
Works well. No issues. Thanks

Everything else, works perfect on my device. Thank you for the update. :good:

Thanks for the feedback.

Please note the P700i v3.21has been up for a while already, and just now I also put up the A660 v3.21, using the latest A660 S025 kernel/radio/modules, thanks to user pudil who provided me with the latest OTA.

FM Transmitter not work

Hello,

I use A789_ROW_S107_cybermaus_ICS_V3.2 on my phone, but FM Transmitter doesn't work.

I cant found any station on my radio, did anybody tried FM Transmitter?

Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] myxal:
Yes, and it works. Are you trying this in a car, or inside, with a tabletop radio/sound system? Inside, the range is VERY short (beyond 1 m it's useless due to the interference, and I have to be <20 cm away from the sound system to get stereo reception. In a car, the reception was good (stereo tuned) regardless of position.

With a cheap kitchen radio I had to basically wrap the antenna wire around the phone to get any useful reception.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] amresh:
Can you work on CWM touch recovery for p700i?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cybermaus:
There are 3 recoveries for the P700i here. I think the one I created myself is touch based.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] amresh:
I tried all of them and non are touch based.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cybermaus:
Ok, how about these, they are touch and graphical, but but TWRP rather than CWMT

Idea Desktop v2.0.0

Anyone interested in idea desktop v2.0.0? Grab it from here.

Features which I liked the most:

Very close but rich in feature in comparison of default 1.?? installed in system by default

Icons are slick but can be set to small if like old look (different than 1.2.4 & 1.3.4)

Message, missed calls and mail count notifications

If you get force close message while clicking on preferences, use Titanium Backup to wipe data. You can also integrate the update using Titanium Backup.

Enjoy :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] lukedan:
Please give more details on this:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] amresh:
If you mean to ask more details on fixing FC then there are two ways you can wipe the data.

1. Open Titanium Backup, filter system apps, click on ideadesktop and finally click on wipe data or

2. Go to settings->apps, click on ideadesktop app and wipe data

A660

Hi, I've tried the A660 cybermaus rom and it works pretty good, thanks cybermaus.

But there are three little issues:

//edit: "Known issue for the A660: 4th recent apps button does not work. Use 'button savior' app as workaround." [1. I can't use the button on the right bottom anymore (for the list of recent apps...)]

2. Ok, not really an issue, but how can I change the color of the app title bar? (At the moment it's red)

3. I want to change the "stock"/standard camera to a silent one and wanted to change the language strings in the framework-res.apk - but I can't recompile it, guess it's the same error...

//edit: camera sounds found in /system/media/audio/ui/ - thanks oz42!

[Miscellaneous Android Development] oz42:
For a silent camera, remove the camera sound file in /system/media/ui.

A660 ROW v3.21

Hi everyone,

Everything seem to work well so far (except the previous apps button, it was working when I just flashed the recovery).

I wondered why the ice cream sandwich theme is gone and I can't put it back ...

Lenovo desktop is a pain also, any idea how to kill it?

I've seen some launchers which can be nice but these are just running on top of everything else? making the whole phone slower I guess?

Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
For that button to work there's already a workaround, just search the thread.

If you want to replace IdeaDesktop you can simply install another launcher from Play Store. Once you switch to the other launcher (by pressing Home button) you can choose to set it always as default and you're done. ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cybermaus:
@Pierrotlcf;

What ROM were you on before? I remember you were on this thread before, were you running v3.1 before, or a completely different ROM?

If you were running v3.1 before, then the recent app button should be no surprise. Nor should the Lenovo Desktop be new. Though I have to admit, I am porting these P700i ROM's blindly, so I would not know if Lenovo made a big visual change, unless people tell me.

If you really do not like the Launcher, you can install a different one. I am not even sure what the 'default ICS' Launcher would be, but you can install any you like. And if you make it default for all Launcher intentions, then it should not make your phone slower or take memory, because it would never be started. I will only take ROM space.

Edit: Oh, Bruno already replied. I should really turn the page and read all post before I answer one.....
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Pierrotlcf:
Thank you guys for the answers.

Before flashing v3.21 I had the very first recovery you did (in october) and applied different fixes like Gapps and location. But I had all these chinese apps, LeSec and Lenovo Store.

For the 4th button I'll read all the thread properly when I'll have time (working 7 days a week now ...).

For the overall look both are icecream sandwich. Here are 2 screenshots of the P700i and A660. Slighltly different.
