Are you mistaking cybermaus (and other involved developers) with official Lenovo support? :rolleyes: It's pretty clear these ROMs are provided as-is, on a best-effort basis. If you don't like the ROM, revert to whatever ROM you had before it.

AFAIK, cybermaus is busy with other projects at the moment (I recall reading something vague about jellybean for P700i). There would be a reason to panic and pull his ROM from the forum if his ROM killed/damaged hardware - is this your case? I think not, since the front camera still works in the Camera app.

So just revert your ROM and get over it. And really - 3G video calls? The whole reason this problem wasn't spotted earlier is that almost nobody cares. I haven't made or received such a call, ever.

Don't get me wrong - testing and reporting problems with ROMs is useful, but broken 3G video calls are hardly a reason for users to ignore this ROM, and even less for forum moderators to pull it from distribution. At best, a list of "known issues" should be added to the post where users are downloading the ROM from.

[MENTION=5180059]smollah[/MENTION], how do make a video call in Lenovo's ROM? I don't see an option to start a video call in the dialer, do I need a special app?

---------- Post added at 11:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:06 AM ----------

Nevermind, found it already (Contacts -> long tap on a contact, menu appears -> Video call). Annoying that it doesn't seem to work from Call history or the Phone application :-\
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bucefal82:
Hey guys, We are going to try something new for our china phones - cyanogenmod.

But we need some more devs to get everything going.

For now we have:

-Github tree for Lenovo P700i(mediatek 6577, android 4.0.4, kernel 3.0.8)

-Lens_flare - original port author(may work with system folder and configs)

-some kernel source from other devices like liquid gallant

The main problem is getting adb to work that could help a lot on remaining development. For now even zygote not starting, but all partitions seems mounted successfully.

We need more devs (especially that could assemble working kernel for device), working with p700i may lead to following porting for other mtk devices, as sources are nearly the same.

I bought an A789 with A789_ROW_S107_cybermaus_ICS_v3.21 preinstalled.

I can't work out how to install Google Now though. GNow Handlebars 1.2 doesn't seem to do anything?

---------- Post added at 06:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:10 PM ----------

I don't have this option. Only edit, delete, copy, share, speed dial.

Which ROM does work with 3G video call on A789?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] myxal:
Sorry, that instruction was incorrect. Go to:

Contacts -> Select a contact -> long-tap on the number you wish to call, then select Video call there.

Does video call over 3G work correctly for you?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] myxal:
No, I get an error - something about failure to establish video connection. It may be caused by me not having the service enabled at my operator.

I don't know, or care - as I mentioned earlier, I 've never used 3G video calling on any phone, and don't really want to invest more time and effort just to test it. Sorry.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dulcificum:
Damn. The only reason I bought this phone is because it had front camera for video call. So far, I've found the following issues:

1. Autocorrect language is set to English but still highlights every English word.

2. Can't add UK English instead of US English

3. 3G video call doesn't work. Haven't tested with Skype yet.

4. Can't install Google Now for some reason? Is this ROM deodexed?

6. 3G on the 3G SIM seems really slow (like 100 Kb/s instead of my usual 2000 Kb/s)

What is the best way to prepare the A789 phone for sale after installing this ROM? If I press factory install will it go back to how I got it with this ROM installed or will it reinstall all the Chinese stuff?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] myxal:
AFAIK, "factory reset" just wipes /data - this is where android stores user-installed apps and settings to ALL apps. Unless the chinese apps are merely hidden, factory reset will not restore them.

For selling the phone, definitely have a look at USB storage and SDCARD partitions - factory reset will not touch these by default and may contain sensitive data - you'll have to manually delete/format these partitions yourself.

Radio Modem for A660??

Hi, I have a Lenovo A660 with the original ROM (A660_S025_121122) and it looks work fine, but the only trouble I found was a very high battery consumption.

Looking forward the origin I changed the radio firmware to one I found in this forum for a cybermaus ROM (A789_radio_firmware_S228.zip).

I tried it and the battery consumption is now more accurate, but instead the phone became a bit deaf, I mean, it do not connect to a 3G network easily. Only if the network signal is very high the phone shows 3G icon, else only shows G icon.

Can anybody tell me where I can download a better radiofirmware for my A660 to try?

Thank you in advance.

Lenovo A660 - Cant install this rom any way..

I have just bought this mobile. It came to me multilanguage and rooted. There was a chinese CWM on it and i have changed it to English (Cybernaus CWM). I can back up and restore the ROM no problem. But when i try to flash this through CWM i everytime ended with bootlop on start up after flashing. (Also tested the andrea_d86-lenovoa789-4.0.4-130211 same happened Endless Bootlop after Flashing)

- I tried first i made data/factory reset and then flash this ROM. I flashed normal i choosed instal zip from sdcard and flashed. Result:Endless Bootlop.

- I tried it without data/factory reset. I flashed normal i choosed install zip from sdcard and flashed. Result:Endless Bootlop.

- I tried first i made data/factory reset and rename the ROM zip file as update zip and then choosed apply update from sd card. Result:Endless bootlop.

And also tried data factory reset after flashing but resulted endless bootlop on startup screen.

I need fully working multilanguage ROM. Mine works OK but cant install some games its restarting itself. Example i could not install Game Loft games and F18 Carrier landing. But Temple Run 2 and Temple Run 3 installed succesfully. If i can fix my Rom to install these apps also OK for me.

So here any body help me to flash this custom ROM i will happy or show me how to fix these compatibility issues of some games and apps.

I have a problem with a bluetooth. I have paired my mobile with 4 devices which of two are headsets.

When I want to connect it with Garmin Edge 510 to transfer activities in many cases it won't connect.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] cybermaus:
Additional request from me to you, A789 user:

On my A750, I never have freeze/hangups. My colleague however is complaining about many on his A789 with custom ROM, but also already 2 on the cleaned up factory ROM. Well, 2 freezes on a phone in a week is not bad, compared to any of my previous smartphones, but infinitely worse than my A750.

So I would like to take stock: Please report any freezes you have, and on which ROM, what situation, and how often.

Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] stealthdc:
I have flashed your V2 rom. All functions are ok, just one issue: cannot get data connection work on SIM2 (I have flashed the rom with clean userdata and empty fat and I have seen that the phone has been automatically updated to both sim's with network operators data settings).

Cheers
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cybermaus:
Well, I do not have the A789 myself, so we will have to ask others if they also face those problems.

But my guess is you simply have an incorrect APN for your SIM2. Even the automatic ones can sometimes be wrong. Can you check the APN? Or swap the SIM cards, and see if the SIM card that does work, also works in SIM2

And of course, you need to be aware SIM2 can only do GSM/EDGE. There are a few providers that simply do not support data at all on 2G
[Miscellaneous Android Development] stealthdc:
I know that the SIM 2 will not work on 3G. I use it only when I don't have signal on SIM 1. I have tried the sim on 3G slot and work perfect (APN is correct). On slot 2 doesn't work. I will try (probably at the end of next week) the 227 unmodified rom to see if it's a rom issue.

Cheers

LE: I have succesfuly connected on SIM 2 internet. I have played with different settings and I have found the right settings: before (on S221 firmware) at APN settings the APN type was set to default and the internet works; now (on S227) it's needed "default,supl,wap" to be checked. So, until now, I can say that your modified rom works very good (I wonder if you can provide a total clean rom - without any lenovo or chinese tool - just with the absolutely necessarly system tools).

Thanks

---------- Post added at 04:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:35 PM ----------

Well, with the V2 and with older S221 - lenovo rom - I don't experienced any freeze on device. It is possible that your friend use the excessive gaming (I have noticed that the phone became suspectly hot when playing games on it). :D

Cheers
[Miscellaneous Android Development] stealthdc:
BTW, I just reminded: it's there any way to unlock/create swap file on lenovo firmware?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cybermaus:
Probably yes, but is that needed?

I recall that on the very memory limited MT6516 (256MB) a swap file did work a little, but the 512MB of the A789, I think less important?

As to clean up even the last few China apps: Just use titanium or system app remover to uninstall them. Titanium is best, so you can make a backup, just in case.

There were a few that I indeed forgot (I did it blindly remember) and those will be removed on a next build, but I am not making a next build until I have a more things to do.

Stikk no luck with ROMzilla. Extracted ROM, decompiled it, recompiled it without changing anything. Installed it on the A789 after formatting /system.

Now the phone is stuck in a boot loop and vibrates several times instead of one time.

Conclusion: ROMzilla is unusable, even after updating smali/baksmali to 1.4.0. Any other nice decompiling tools out there?

If I had a working tool, I would try to convert a ROM to multilang, based on Buzzwaves A750 ROm which has a very nice German lang.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cybermaus:
Well, I use dsixda to deodex the ROM

A789_ROW_S105_cybermaus_ICS_v3

A new ROM release for the A789: A789_ROW_S105_cybermaus_ICS_v3.03

Based on factory ROM P700i_ROW_S105_120920, and located in my Dev-Host. It is an international ROM, ported from the P700i. It is as close to factory as possible, which I hope will be good for stability.

Base ROM features

- Android 4.0.4

- International (non-Chinese) edition

- CallerID works (no bug detected so far)

- Face detection unlock screen

- Changeable Lenovo Cloverleaf

- Normal Android Calender

- English, Chinese, Russian, Indonesian, Vietnamese

Summery of mods I made to it:

- Rooted the phone with Chainfire SuperSu

- Set to boot in US-english, changed name of ROM

- Added MoreLocale for extra languages in 3rd party apps

- Removed Chinese apps, incl Chinese keyboard, removed SmsReg.apk

- Added Lenovo Security (anti-malware) (you can remove it if you want)

- Updated Google GAPPS, Play Store, Maps, etc

- Added MobileUncle toolbox, SManager (root explorer).

- Added fix for location services

- Added Skype, Whatsapp, Titanium backup (free version) and some others, as auto-install upon userdata wipe / factory clean

- Prepared busybox (you need to run script /system/xbin/installbusybox as root if you want it)

- Replaced bootup animation with silent Lenovo butterfly

- Removed FaceBook and Google+. They were huge, /system was full, and they are autostart, so always consume a little resources. You can install them from play store if you need them. I was in doubt to do the same to Chrome, but I left it in there for now.

- Fixed WiFi to use all 14 channels rather than 11 US ones (may be undone when selecting new Locale)

- Fixed so the Debug-USB notification is no longer shown

Warning:

- Flashing this ROM will leave your Data intact, *except* the desktop and the calender. Those are cleared to deal with incompatibilities.

- I do not have a A789, so it is a blind build. It could be faulty.

Instructions:

- Put zip on SD card

- Reboot into recovery

- Apply the ZIP.

Edit: Sorry to all of you who wasted bandwidth on the broken zip's v3, v3.01, v3.02. You need v3.03.

BTW: As mentioned, Desktop and Calender are automatically cleared, but it may also be needed to clear Contacts, so that the Caller-ID's are newly indexed. Use any clear data tool, or these patches. If you do not wipe desktop, and you come from a Chinese based ROM, the cloverleaf stays locked and Chinese. You need to wipe desktop data to free up and 'westernize' the cloverleaf. If you do not re-index contacts, it could be the CallerID is 'whitespace' sensitive.
