Turning off camera sound

use "Camera Sound off! (root)" app from play

note: for rooted phones only

---------- Post added at 06:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:45 PM ----------

Hi cybermaus,

I recently got my first android phone Lenovo A660 with rooted multi-language rom

Android ver: 4.0.4

Build number: A660_S019_120824

It had google play preinstalled, booting animation is some wierd orange circle symbol(maybe lenovo butterfly).

I have spotted tons of bugs:

1) setting crashes when I want to backup to SD card

2) phone reboots whenever I install app that "prefers external storage" or

3) whenever I try to move apps to SD card

4) phone often gets "system UI" has stopped error and even turning phone off and on sometimes doesn't help

5) my contacts sometimes disappear

6) messages sometimes doesn't work

So I started to search for some other rom and find yours.

But I have few questions:

Is the 4th button bug fixed? I have read some comments complaining about it.

What is ID caller bug?

Are there any other bugs in your rom? Is your rom "safe" for A660?

Thanks for any help

I would have liked this too but in the end simply flashed the recovery scatter file and installed v3 through recovery.

I have an issue with calls whereby I can hear everyone clearly but everyone I speak to suggests I'm ringing from inside a bubble :(

I've had a good rummage round and cannot see anyone else with a similar problem which suggests to me I have have a hardware issue?

That said, video and music playback together with sound and video recording are all excellent :confused:

I have rooted my Lenovo A600E using Framaroot and it is successfully rooted. I have also found fastboot working with my Lenovo A600E. For this I have installed LeTools_MultiLang_x86_x64_Full_setup_20320.exe (Googled it) and used fastboot available with tool. Other fastboot exe won't see Lenovo phones.

D:\Tools\Lenovo>adb reboot bootloader

I didn't found a recovery for my specific model so I picked up other Lenovo recoveries and tried to flash it. after running fastboot flash recovery recovery.img:

but it didn't work and I have lost stock recovery. If someone can help me with recovery I will be very thankful.

My phone is still working fine with normal boot. Only I can't boot into recovery.

Problem p700i with sim2 not connecting with network

Hi I am facing a very strange problem with my p700i.

I have it for over ten months without a thing (cybermaus rom v3.2 from the first boot). Yesterday I tried to make a call and I couldn't. The signal was 3 to 4 bars but when I tried to make a call the phone went to the screen of calling but there was not any tone and after fifteen seconds went to the previus screen. Today I tried to flash again the same rom and wipe from recovery everything and I managed to have a working sim1 (3G) but the second does the same. After I flashed the untested rom v3.21 to see if anything changes, but without any luck.

I installed some apps like sim card manager and the network state is: in service.

The signal at sim2 is 3/4 or 4/4 but I cannot make any call or receive any. When I try from the setting/networks to search for the network operator it finds the provider. But when I choose it loses the signal and appears restricted access and no service, while trying to register on the provider. After a while stops and the signal comes back but again I cannot call.

The sim reader says that sim is ready, current cell id and location area code fffffff and service state powered off (why? how can I turn it on?).

I made some research and some said about the imei, /efs and modem.bin but I dont know what to do.

The imei has not deleted for sim1 is the same as the box but for the sim2 is the same number plus 8 (that look odd I thought was one).

Thank you for the help!!!

Are you rooted? Download and install No-frills CPU Control. Set the following:

Max clock freq. = 1Ghz
Min clock freq. = 250mhz
Governor = Ondemand
I/O scheduler = Deadline or Noop

Check "Apply on boot".

In preferences/settings, check also, "disable safety valve", "prevent changes from other...", and "include deep sleep".

This is how I got it to load the VCOM drivers in Virtualbox Win7-64bit in Debian Wheezy but probably works also for Ubuntu/KUbuntu/etc. I dont know if there are other issues I will run into later but finally got step one, the VCOM USB drivers recognized.....

NOTE: you must have installed "VirtualBox Extension Pack" otherwise you cannot pass the USB to the VM in Virtualbox.

1.) remove phone, shutdown, remove battery (do not connect until later)

2.) get MT65xx USB VCOM driver (for me usb2ser_Win764.inf), startup Win7 VM and add the driver to "c:\windows\inf" folder. Shutdown Win 7 VM.

3.) use "lsusb" to see what USB devices you have attached

4.) attach phone (do not turn on) and spam "lsusb"

5.) a new entry will be there, for me it was: "Bus 003 Device 010: ID 0e8d:2000 MediaTek Inc."

6.) Unplug phone.

7.) go to Virtualbox, right-click your win7 VM: settings -> USB -> add empty filter

8.) fill in manufacturer field that you found with "lsusb" refresh, for me "Manufacturer: MediaTek"

9.) startup Win7 box and when system has loaded up and everything is at rest, attach phone (still off). You should see Windows search and load drivers VBOX USB etc. etc.

SD card mounting problems

Hi all,

so I have Lenovo p700i with Cybermaus ROM ICS 3.3. I followed the instructions from myxal and bgccgm from post 556 onwards (at http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=36407241&postcount=556) to remove internal SD and join its size with phone storage. It was difficult to follow, but in the end it worked well - big phone storage, no internal SD and SD card mounted at /mnt/sdcard (wonderful work guys).

Then much later my power button broke down, which I did not suspect - I suspected SW problem (it just did not react and I could not turn it off). Therefore I tried to flash different versions of recoveries that I had stored. After getting the power button repaired, I managed to repair almost all SW damage I did with flashing those unfinished versions.

My current situation is, that /mnt/sdcard is not mounted, /dev/block/vold/179:97 is mounted on /mnt/sdcard2 (SD card), even though in vold.fstab is as only uncommented line dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard auto /device/platform/goldfish_mmc.1 /devices/platform/mtk-sd.1/mmc_host

I don't care if sdcard is mounted under /mnt/sdcard or /mnt/sdcard2, but pocket and evernote (two apps that I most use) seem not able to find the sdcard. And bind-mount /mnt/sdcard2 on /mnt/sdcard didn't seem to help, but recovery has no problem with sdcard, it gets mounted and I can install zip files.

I am not afraid to work with adb/fastboot/whatever, please help. What info about the phone do you need?

MT6582 (Lenovo A536) with IMEI but no Signal

Hello, I have a Lenovo A536 and it bricked. So I initally flashed this ROM Lenovo A536_USR_S120_1409181715_MP1V2.10_BMAIN_ROW using SP Flash Tool and back-up using MTK Droid Tools. It worked fine (Sim card is detected with network signal) but when I flashed a new ROM Vibe2_euro_linarmaximum to update my phone, I started to encounter the following problems:

Sim Cards not detected ( Sim slot 1 & 2)

No Signal

IMEI=null

Now, I reverted back to the first ROM I used but it was the same. I downloaded another ROM A536_S147_140910_ROW hoping things will change. I managed to retrieve the IMEI number at the back of my phone and add it using MTK droid tools. It was recorded as expected but still no network signal. I thought the IMEI problem will fix the network signal. I have tried a lot of things now and I'm desperate to fix this.

Can somebody please help me :crying:

Rom for Lenovo a789

I don't want to necroBump a dead thread, but I recently unearthed an old Lenovo a789. The firmware is Android 4.0.4 which means half of the Apps I need will not install. Is there a more up-to-date rom that I can flash onto it?

What was the chipset in A789? MT6577, I think? I haven't had my A789 for 4 years, so I haven't followed developments since, but I'm unaware of any ready-made ROMs for the Lenovo phones that would actually upgrade the Android release.

However, here's a thread that's supposedly a how-to for porting lollipop/marshmallow to many of the MT65xx devices (may not work for A789, as the guide assumes 4.4 stock ROM, from a quick glance): https://xdaforums.com/android/development/guide-how-to-port-lollipop-based-roms-t3223938

@ cybermaus

Very patient, or very slow to react. :)

I also came to your conclusion to try the apkhot recovery. I searched through the net for the word 'Nandroid', but it's hard to select the appropriate info for such a beginner like me. :o

Could you please tell me what's the main difference between Nandroid version ROM (as it seems my phone has) and the other one (like yours)? How can I decide which one I have?

And before I forget: thanks for your quick answer. :good:

Cheers,

Peter
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cybermaus:
Your phone does not 'have' a 'nandroid ROM'. Nandroid is merely a backup program. Your question sounds as if you are asking what the difference is between MS-Windows when you make a backup to tape, vs when you make a backup to disk. The question *does not compute* (also tape is old fashioned)

Remains the question what you have for ROM: I have no idea what your vendor gave you.

But here is what you want to check: Does Play store work? Do network based location services work. Does your Caller-ID and Calender work. If not, then you should consider my ROM. However, my ROM will only be in English, so if your like your ROM, and you like it in your own language, you may want to stick with it, and only use the DIY root guide.

(PS: also my ROM does not have a battery indicator in percentages, but merely a coarse indicator. People tell me that is also a very important problem with my ROM :p)

Lenovo P700i

Hello, I've seen you cooked up a port for the A789 of the latest P700i ROW image... a couple of questions?

1. Is it compatible with the P700i? being mostly the same hw (bigger battery ?)

2. What about the FM Transmitter ? I've seen the post with just the fm radio & transmitter but unfortunately the transmitter doesn't work on my P700i.

And finally a request. Could you please cook a rom for that phone also (P700i).

TIA
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cybermaus:
No, you cannot put a A789 ROM onto a P700o phone. Just put the original P700i_ROW_S105 on it. I'll make a recovery image for the P700i, after that you can use post #2 in this thread to root it. A warning: I cannot test anything, so if you decide to use my recovery, it is at your own risk.

Image linked in post #2. Read the rest of that post too!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sic2:
Oh I see, thank you. I misunderstood your words about the broken nandroid backup function. I thought this is a function to backup, not the backup function itself. :o

Well, I don't know what kind of ROM I have, just what I see in the About menu: A789_221_120724

Play store doesn't work (I use SnapPea and Lenovo store instead, and thinking of learning Chinese ;) ), nor network based location (although GPS works with iGO). I've never experienced the caller ID bug, instead I have an own call bug: when I call a busy number then my phone locks the screen. So I have to enter the screen lock code. Every busy call after - a bit annoying feature. :)

Calendar is mostly Chinese so I use Touchdown instead. Is your ROM really English? I'm happy when I see latine letters. ;)

Telling the truth my friend bought this phone to me in Hongkong, he recommended just to keep the original ROM in case of a failure.

Battery indicator: it is one of the most important features. I know many battery widgets are exist, but isn't it possible to install an apk version of the original Lenovo battery indicator?

Meanwhile I replied the APKHOT recovery did its work in 5 minutes, produced an 1.6 GB directory (1.2 GB zipped). Great!

Thanks for the help twice: one for the recovery image and one in the forum. :good:

Cheers,

Peter
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cybermaus:
A789_221_120724 is the factory rom for chinese market. And a rather old one too. You will be very happy with 'my' ROM, though in honesty, 'my' ROM is simply the factory ROM for the international market from a different Lenovo phone, with a few minor tweaks. And yes, it really is fully English.

PS: The battery is one of the most important features. Battery charging is also one of the most important features. The battery indicator however is less important, and having it on a percentage scale is not only indicative of an obsession, but also not applicable, due to the rather odd behavioral characteristics that Lithium batteries have. Your battery manager lies to you, and it makes no sense forcing it to lie in greater precision.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oz42:
I found a bug that is in another P700i ported ROM also: when I select factory reset, the phone enters recovery.as usual for wiping, but is stuck then. It wipes, reboots, wipes again, reboots and so on.

Another bug perhaps: wifi seems to lose the connection every now and then. At least play store said "no connection" several times now.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cybermaus:
Ok. Solution to the factory reset is very simple: Don't! Wipe data using recovery instead.

Its probably an incompatibility with the recovery anyway, I suspect if you would have the official recovery it would work fine, but we do not want the official recovery, do we.

As to the connection: If wifi works, but play store complains about connection, it could mean your account is damaged. Go into settings and delete/recreate your google account.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oz42:
About resetting: I did that through recovery after the "normal" way had failed.

About the connection: I think it is too early for me to tell about real bugs. My SIM cards left my A750 about an hour ago and went into the A789. Before I had no ROM that I would like to use. Thank you! :good:

Are the Gapps the gapps-ics-20120429-signed ones?

I will sell one of my phones. The reason for buing the A789 simply was a very nice rebate. I am still happy with the A750, but I thing chances are better to get ICS 4.1 one day for the A789. But I want a good battery life also, and so far the A750 is very, very good in that way, even compared to Samsung or others. I still have to test the A789 for two weeks or so.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cybermaus:
Of course. There will probably never be a newer package, seeing how focus is on JB now.

If you do sell the A750, give me a PM. My nephew is asking me when I am going to buy a new phone so he can get my old one, but I am planning to stick it out all to way till a MT6588 with ROW rom is availible. Maybe even MT6599. I will not pay a good price though, I am very frugal.

EDIT: hmm, now you make me think it over, I probably should have checked if Lenovo did not have newer GAPPS, before I overwrote them without looking. Quite possible that the manufacturers are still getting updates.
