Thanks for testing

Well, I definitely did not mess with any of the 3G stuff. So if it is true that 3G is less sensitive, then I would claim it is true for the factory S227 vs factory S221, and not directly related to my cleanup of it.

But (sorry to say so) I have learned to take claims of improved or degraded radio sensitivity with a grain of salt, even for the factory ones.

Having said that: Restoring S221 radio into S227 firmware is easy. The radio is separate firmware file, and I can extract the S221, S223 and S227 firmware in a separate file, so you can test. Were you actually using factory S221, or some other?

As to whether it is using 2100, 900 or 850: I can probably figure out how to get that info, *BUT* reality is that your provider most likely has only one frequency anyway. Most, pretty much all, EU providers are on 2100. The phone could not get to 900, simply because your provider does not have that frequency in the air (not for 3G anyway). And 850 is not supported at all on this phone.

Anyway, inside MU utility, engineer mode, bandmode, you can check/set the frequencies that are supported.

But please run a proper test if 3G is really degraded. As stated. it is so often a empty claim, I am somewhat careful to follow it. You want me to extract the 3 versions of firmware files in update.zip files?

Also, what country/vendor are you? please list the MMC and MNC from inside the APN settings.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] basell:
Hi

If You will prepare this files I can test it tomorrow.

I'm from Poland and I have two frequency on data transfer - 2100 and 900. But I don't know if A789 use only one or change them. The place I'm test the signal is poor and I don't see if I work on 2100 or 900.

If You can, pleas tell me what kind of tests I can do to do that properly :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cybermaus:
Ok, here they are. update.zip type.

I only have S221 and S227, but the firmware files were indeed different, in more than just their timestamps. Of course, normally I would assume newer is better. So to make it clear: below files only replace the radio&dsp firmware, not the phone firmware.

Try to test honestly for yourself. Same conditions, same place, same time (because network load can make a difference)

It is possible that 3G really is degraded in S227, but as mentioned, I learned to not jump to conclusions just because the network is having a bad day.

WARNING: I retracted the two attachment, because I made a typo in the installer script. While the firmware is for the A789 (MT6577), the installer script is for the A750 (MT6575). Sorry. I will upload the correct ones in a moment.... Anyone that took a copy of these files before Oct 14, delete them!!!

I suspect the install would simply have failed, no harm done, but best to get rid of all copies anyway

BTW: basell, is that why you asked how to install? Really, if you ask for help, you should provide a bit more info. Anyway, I attached newer scripts, if you still want to try.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] basell:
sorry for My question but :

How to install this firmware? :confused:

Like any update.zip on android. Go into recovery (see post #3) and apply the update.zip
[Miscellaneous Android Development] guesswhoesis:
i have the problem that the netlocation doesn't work with google maps, i flashed the cyber update 1.3, nothing changed, what should I do now?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cybermaus:
And this is on what phone and ROM?

Anyway, to quote myself: "While you are in recovery, also wipe cache. And finally, go into MobileUncle tool, the MTK Engineer mode, and in location settings, change the NetLoc from MEDIATEK to GOOGLE. Now your location services should work."
[Miscellaneous Android Development] guesswhoesis:
many thanks, Cybermaus, netlocation works again after your instruction:)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mirceai:
Hi,

Thank you very much for building the ROM !!

I am using it for 3 days now and I am happy to report no problems with it. Everything works and most important: no more freezes !!!

my A789 came with the Etotalk by Dean ROM which was mostly OK, but was freezing from time to time (some days not at all, other days several times a day - most of the times when hanging up a call or, when trying to do wake it from standby: I was pressing the power button, but the screen would not light up).

Other things I like about this ROM:

- all phone functions work great

- Google Play works perfectly

- is rooted

- it has the Lenovo battery app, which is great! I am not 100% sure if this is the reason, but the battery life went from 1 day to 2 days

- I had no issues flashing it

- CWMT recovery works

Also, so far, I did not experience any 3G issues
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cybermaus:
Well, that is actually an easy change to perform, just change the /etc/fstab.vold

However, if you go into settings->storage, the first option is default write disk. Change it from USB storage(the internal SD) to SD (the external SD)

So no hacking is needed at all.....
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jman0:
I've been running your rom for around 6 hours now. Everything runs fine. The 3G connection worked without much trouble. The only thing I haven't been able to do is performing a backup with the CWM Touch Recovery. So, I've just flashed the recovery I had on the apkhot rom I was using, using Mobileuncle tools, and now I've been able to create a backup.

So far, so good, and I've noticed a slight performance increase, too.

P700i_S109_ROW_130131

A new firmware P700i_S109_ROW_130131 can be downloaded from here.

Link to source​

Warning! There is some problem with boot.img (boot image). If you apply this update, you will not be able to enter into custom recovery. Use boot.img from S107 and remove recovery update step from update.zip. It will install happily after then. Enjoy :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] insanrizal:
Lenovo p700i have 4 firmware for global. S105, S106, S107, and now S109. But still ics.. Why didn't upgrade to jelly bean. If upgrade to jelly bean it would be nice. Hehe..

But i am waiting for custom rom from this firmware .. :)

[Miscellaneous Android Development] cybermaus:
You probably should not update, but you can download (and then not apply)

Then you can check the OTA folder on the SD card, and tell me what it wanted to update with. Probably it was to P700i_ROW_S109_130131, which I already have, and indeed you should not apply. Instead wait for me to prepare a new build based on this. If it proposed any other version, let me know.

PS: On a related note: I have had 15 or so downloads on the new build, and no feedback yet.

Come on guys, is it working or not, and how is the audio app in the S109 version?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] thebestvip84:
Hi cybermaus, i have tested P700i_ROW_S109_cybermaus_ICS_v3.3 for 1 day and it seems to be a perfect ROM for P700i. I did not find any problem with your new ROM and very were very happy with it . The battery life was improved and Audio app works fine. Just one thing that the system app " TTSProve" "forces close" when i click the TTS Settings or TTS Manager button.And Gmail app stucks at " Waiting for sync"

Thanks a lot for your hard work Cybernaus!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] myxal:
I'd certainly be willing to test and report, but I've only got A789. *nudge, nudge* ;)

BTW, doesn't Lenovo usually release update for all MT6577 at once or in quick succession? Should there be an update for A789's stock ROM?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cybermaus:
Well, TTSProve is not really a system app. Just a 3rd party app that I throw in to check if TTS works or not. The Lenovo phone are not provided with a full TTS.

As to the Google app: Maybe it works if you delete and recreate your google account in the phone? And make sure you try disabling/enabling WiFi and/or 3G.

Nudge all you want, I want at least one model stable before I put effort in mass-building the other models. But if the Google issue goes away I will indeed build the A660 and A789 and maybe even A800 and S560 if people ask.

As to Lenovo providing bulk builds: No, they don't, and more importantly, they never provided any international ROM (ROW = Rest of World) ROM for any A-model.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] lukedan:
I put yesterday your 109 ROM on a 700i - works as 107, that means very well. i'm not feel any changes. Thanks for your work.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cybermaus:
Well, you should at least notice the new Music app. It was reported 'slow' on S107, so I put back the S106, but this S109 should be different than the v3.21 one. Please play with it, advise if I should also take it out or not.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] lukedan:
Sorry, I never use Music app and I cannot compare versions...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] amresh:
I don't see any problem in music app of S109 firmware. Strange that ppl reported problem in it. Probably wiping data of music app will fix problems (if any). Overall, battery consumption seems to be better in this version. My battery decreases by 2-3 % overnight (similar to S106) while it was 4-5 % in earlier versions (S107). Resource consumption in background apps seems to be much improved. Overall difference that I can tell is

Pros

Less battery consumption in idle mode

Quick WCDMA network connection

Less resource consumption in background apps

No lags in video play

Cons

Less attractive title bar

Hope this helps :).

How can I understand the location service has fixed and others?

First of all thanks to for your post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1874403 . I am new user of android .I have learned a lots of things for your post. I have some question to if you don't mind.

1.I use Lenovo A789 mobile from china. I have updated location service by your "ics_mtk_locationfix_v1.4 " with TWRP recovery method.

Now How I can prove that my location service has fixed up. and I am not founding theNetLoc from MEDIATEK to GOOGLE in my moblie by Mobileuncle toos. .How can I found it?

2. I have update my recovery by your "A789_S22x_recovery_cybermaus" but there is problem. When I try to backup by your recovery, the recovery shows a message "Backing up boot image...." for a long time and with without replacing the battery the message continue (http://www.mediafire.com/view/?iq6hl906eurqy8i). But after opening the mobile there is back up in sd card under clockworkmod folder named"boot img" . It is noted that i have try to take back three times But backup file size different sze(238mb,276mb and 616 mb) .Now how can finished my I back up by your recovery image?

3. I have also update my recovery by your "A789_S22x_recovery_apkhot" but there is problem. When I try to backup or others works by this recovery, the recovery shows a message "can't mount backup path.." So iI can not do any things byA789_S22x_recovery_apkhot recovery

4. In your post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1874403, you have told that "Both of them you will have to flash using the flash tool, using bgcngm's excellent manual, and the V3.1222 of the flash utilities and drivers, also in my Dev-Host. If you flashed my V2 ROM, you do not need to do this, as the recovery is already part of that."

What you mean by this? Can able to flash recovery with two deference recovery by A789_S22x_recovery_cybermaus and ]A789_S22x_recovery_apkhot at a time?

5. I have updated "Lenovo_ICS_clear_desktop","Lenovo_ICS_clear_calendar" & "Lenovo_ICS_clear_contacts" by recovery mode but i did found any change in my mobile (Lenovo A789) .Then why this need.

7. Now I am using your "TWRP_recovery_v2.3.1.1_for_A789 image" . It working find . but can not able to make Nandroid backup my mobile. How can I able to make Nandroid backup for making stock rom of my android.

8. Can I able to use your" A789_ROW_S107_cybermaus_ICS_v3.21 for my Lenovo A789(A789.S228_120913). What is the procedure to install your custom rom. Do i need to format my internal storage.or wipe data or factory reset?.

9. Last question do you have any boot image for Lenovo A789(A789.S228_120913 with out china booting image original lenovo boot image?

Best regards

Can anyone explain how to get in recovery?

I bought this phone from the very crappy etotalk rom bakers.

this is the 3rd phone that boot loops after a factory reset, man it sucks BIG TIME!

That said, it had Dutch language. Does anyone have a seperate pack for that?

I can get in factory mode, but not in recovery, so the phone (A660) is useless now.

How to obtain that scatter file?

I can't get the phone recognised, so i can't really do anything.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

[Miscellaneous Android Development] oz42:
Power off the phone and wait several seconds. Power it on and wait 1.5 to 2 Seconds, then press both volume up and volume down until recovery starts. I assume that this works for your phone, it does on the A789.

If your recovery does not have a "install zip from SD card" menu, then the phone must be rooted before.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] OpenMinded:
unfortunately it does not for my A660.

The phone was in a boot loop and for some reason it was rid of that after flashing part of A660 rom I found.

Those e-to-talk roms are crap, try a factory reset and see.

Well it boots now and I have Dutch language so that is ok.

Does anyone know how to do that manually?

No!! P700i_S109_ROW_130131 firmware is only for P700i and I am almost sure it won't work on your A789.

I've found another solution for the "recent apps-button"-problem.

Open /system/usr/Generic.kl /system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl and

add:

key 194 RECENT_APP // Isn't tested yet - I found it in the Stockrom

or (!)

add:

key 194 APP_SWITCH // Works, but it's not the "real" recent app view

When you've changed it, you don't need an app or workaround for this key anymore.
