@sluny

I will not do that, sorry..

Also, you probably mean P700i. I do not remember making a P770i yet.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaotis:
It's not a real issue, but anyway since you're getting rid of all the Chineese language at the ROM, I'm reporting it: :)

- With a phone turned off and when you plug it to the wall charger, it displays an image with a big battery icon on the screen and at the top left corner there is a Chineese word "*#*$%^*@)|..." and below an English word "Charging....".

Best wishes and greetings for your work!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bgcngm:
In that case logo.bin has to be unpacked in order to edit the image. Once it's done it needs to be repacked and flashed back into the phone. ;)

Someties apps won't open , only the front opened app works and I have to restart to fix. On stock and cybermaus v 2.1 Why? Fix? Anyone else? On A789
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myxal:
As mentioned many times before:

Cybermaus ROM is update.zip-style package for use inside the phone's recovery, not with SPFlashtool. Using SPFlashtool without knowing what you're doing CAN brick you phone.

Boot into recovery and flash the ROM from there.

If you don't have a CWM-style recovery that can flash the zip, refer to the first post. You'll need the SP flash tool to flash the RECOVERY, and only the RECOVERY image.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oz42:
Please try this:

- boot to recovery

- wipe data/factory reset

- install ROM

- reboot

Does that help?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cybermaus:
Wow, busy all of a sudden

Like Bruno said, a simple logo. I am not an artist, and I do not really mind the chinese on the charging logo (after all, when is the phone powered off)

But I will look into it and see if I can make a update.zip style logo update.

Are you on v2.1, seriously? Well, my first advise is to upgrade to v3.21 and wipe cache and data. If for any reason you want to stay on V2.1, please inform me why. But the advise would still be to wipe data and cache, especially since without a more detailed report what apps do this under what conditions, there is not much I can do.

Well, as long as it worked in the end.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cybermaus:
Which ones, exactly?

I agree with you on principle. Which is why I thrown out FB, Chrome, Plus, Skype, etc. Next time, I will also leave out SystemCleanup, that was a mistake from when I was experimenting with deodexing.

However, I feel the ROM should come with *a* explorer utility, and SManager is free (unlike RootExplorer others often use, which would be illegal software). And I put Titanium in there as it is logical you would like that to be able to restore backup's immediately after a flash.

Which other apps do you object to?

As to the rounded icons and red bar: I like them, and more importantly, they are Lenovo house style.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tzincbg:
Well it doesn't matter what app is it, sometimes, I try to open another app- the icon reacts, but the app dooesn't open . The apps which are already opened may be used but no others , until restart. happens once in two weeks, usually after heavy multitasking.

Interesting why have you based newer rom on older s227 firmware? Older rom is on s228. I hear s230 is available.

Have you tested Andrea rom or Lewa os? In the russian forum of china-iphone.ru they seem to worship that Lewa os for this Lenovo, it even has OTA updates...every two weeks

Another note - on a Chinese forum they say Android 4.1- for A789- motherboard drivers work, screen drivers work...but many other things don't work yet...maybe we'll see android 4.1, maybe not...(google translate)

Anyway- only wiped cache and dalvik cache, to keep apps and flashed the v3.21... for now it is just a liiittle bit faster and smoother, no problems, but it is rare problem anyway- will report in the following weeks if happens again.

Oh and btw- This bravia engine -that you can download from Pimp my rom - pretty much makes the screen brighter and clearer. Also search for beats audio mod on xda if you want deep bass-on good headphones. It is controlled by dsp manager. search dsp cm9 flashable zip....

Wow i just put too much diverse info in one post but...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] motherninja:
I already tried various firmware for my P700i, from factory stock ROW 106, SemiAOSP, and now the latest version of Cybermaus for P700i. But I always experienced the over sensitive touchscreen, so it sometimes mistranslate swipe/scroll to tap, it is very annoying, imagine when you scroll through your contacts list and then suddenly the touchscreen will randomly tap on one of your random contacts, it sometimes happened too when I scrolled through my contacts list in Whatsapp and when I scrolling in Settings menu.

Did everybody here experienced the same things? I wonder if my P700i had a touchscreen defect.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cybermaus:
Did I write somewhere I based v3.21 on S227? If so that was a writing mistake, I combined S228 kernel with P700i ROM. If there is a S230, I should have used that, if you have a link please. strike that, I just checked the build files, and I was already using S230's kernel. Also I did not write anywhere that it uses a S227, why did you think that?

I use the P700i ROM because it is the factory official international ROM. On the whole, I want a ROM to be stable, reliable, robust, and never loose any calls, ever. And I found the Lenovo ROM's to be like that. Looking nice is not near the top of my criteria, and to be honest, I sort of like the no-nonsense IU of Lenovo anyway. I am the sort of guy who removes the desktop background to have nice uniform black.

Well as mentioned before, I do not actually have a A789, only a A750, so I cannot try those. I only started to make the A789 for a friend, at a time no other ROM's were available. But today there is indeed choice.

And while I do take a certain pride in people using my ROM, I do understand if you want to use Andrea's. From comments it seems a good ROM, especially if you favor local languages. Especially if you consider your phone as much a showthing as a phone, I can understand you want to shop around for something with more 'sexyness' than the factory UI.

Well, that goes back to my remark above about a ROM to be stable, reliable, robust, and never loose any calls, ever. So even if I had a A789, I would not put that on it yet, maybe later when people worked out all the kinks.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spinal2k:
Yes, i dont like this too... But its not cybermaus fault, he worked on an existing rom that already had those round icons and red bar in menus.

This issue doesnt happen on andreas rom and UI looks just line the Nexus 4 (but on 4.0.4 obviously)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myxal:
I recall from using your 3.11 ROM that there was a theme manager, or some similiar setting, which would, among other things, change the icons for the system apps. One of the pre-installed themes had square-ish icons.

Can anyone check that out? I think it was a setting available only through the IdeaDesktop, and since I've switched to ADW EX, I can't get to it. Alternatively, is there a way to access IdeaDesktop without uninstalling ADW (some adb command, maybe)?

EDIT: Nevermind, I got it to launch. On IdeaDesktop, it's right under <menu> > Theme
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cybermaus:
I created a port of the TWRP graphical/touch recovery for the A750, the A660, the A789 and the P700i

The recoveries zip files above were made in such a way they can be applied with the flash tool (scatter file included) or with another recovery (update.zip style)

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.

BRAVIA engine. Please add this to the rom. The screen becomes much brighter and clearer at the same brightness settings. Andrea wrote he will do it.

Credit goes to the author of the app Pimp my rom, here on xda . The flashaMany other bravia engines simply don't work. This does. You can download it from within the app.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sk1rge:
I updated by picking the new APK with a file manager from the SD card, replacing IdeaDesktop, worked fine.

Additional info for the ones not so pro, like me: Any Titanium Backup of the old Idea Desktop will be gone. The new app is named "Lenovo Launcher", you see "Idea Desktop" as a Restore option there (in Titanium Backup). This is where you can also wipe Idea Desktop user data, which I had to do to solve a non-fatal error message (Launcher stopped working EDIT: obviously this is the force close message mentioned above) that appeared when clicking menu hard-key and then Preferences (coming from home screen).

EDIT 2: When playing with the settings the Launcher crashed again, going back to default settings, removing my complete desktop settings (wallpaper, apps, widgets all gone, some Chinese stuff there instead). Went back to old Idea Desktop.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amresh:
Hmmm, strange that it didn't work for you. I am on version 2.0 and works like a charm. All I had to do is wipe data, change theme to default and then customize the way you want.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sk1rge:
Well, maybe it's because I have an A660, or because I have messed with the old Idea Desktop before (accidentally uninstalled it when removing unwanted apps from the ROM; had to flash the complete ROM again though to fix that), whatever. Just hope it works for everyone else.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amresh:
I confirm that this definitely works. Images becomes more crispier after applying BRAVIA patch from "Pimp my rom" tool.

I've been using these ROMs for months and they are my favorite (and I've tried others)

Thank you very much for your hard and good work!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cybermaus:
You're welcome. As mentioned before, I simply try to avoid doing anything that may damage the ROM, keeping the ROM boring but stable.

So I will not use the pimp-my-rom tool to put in all these 'tweaks'. Also because I do not want to steal the pleasure away from those that like such thing of running the pimp tool themselves.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sk1rge:
I really like your philosophy, and I like your ROM as much.

Regarding the pleasure of running Pimp My ROM: The BRAVIA tweak is nice. However, Pimp My ROM has a CPU tweaking functionality that is rather simple and collides with the app CPU Tuner that I really like. Guess I will deinstall Pimp My ROM for that reason, as the other tweaks are nothing more than nice to haves, at least in my eyes.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arzakem:
Sir cybermaus any way to port this rom to our newest device the Lenovo A60+? I understand they share the same processor but not similar memory. The specs are ver similar but the A60+ comes with only Gingerbread. :( And a very small internal mem. I hope we can also port CM7s or better to make use of s2e. :) A lot would be grateful.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cybermaus:
The 256MB of RAM and 512MB of ROM is already not very promising if it will even fit. But it also has a totally different screen resolution. And a GB kernel that will not fit a ICS ROM.

So it is very unlikely that this is possible, and without an actual device in my hands it is even impossible to play with it and see what happens

So no, sorry, I cannot do that.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tzincbg:
WELL, AT THIS POINT I NEED TO SHOUT TO BE HEARD. I AM NOT SUGGESTING TO INSTALL ANYTHING FROM PIMP MY ROM. I JUST TOLD YOU TO DOWNLOAD THE BRAVIA FLASHABLE ZIP FROM THERE BECAUSE I STILL DON'T HAVE RIGHTS TO POST THE DIRECT LINK TO THE ZIP.

HOWEVER, USE IT TO DOWNLOAD AND FLASH THE BRAVIA ENGINE, CYBERMAUS, PLEASE! TRY IT FOR YOURSELF.

THE DIFFERENCE IN IMAGE QUALITY IS

H U G E !

For just a moment , let go of your belief that all tweaks are worthless. YOU ARE RIGHT FOR MOST

But, please, make an exclusion and

include in this wonderful rom the only wonderful tweak that works really really well. TO MAKE YOUR ROM EVEN GREATER.

P.S. I would not write if I was not 100% that this is one of the mods that make this phone look and feel twice more expensive, together with the beats audio mod +dsp manager(which however is tricky to be set up) and with the Lenovo butterfly bootimage, logo and boot sound replacement from 4pda .

P.S. Sorry, I hate to shout like that, I will not repeat it
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alissoncg:
Well, In 1st place, I think you could be less offensive with your "shout" :p. In 2nd place, if I understood cybermaus, this kind of tweak (or all of them) infringes what him want to make his ROMs: a mostly 100% stock ROM with a few improvements or add ons, only to make a "boring" but stable ROM.

Finnally, your BRAVIA engine defense (or could be a attack? ;;) ) it's only a subjective observation. I can surely say that in my A789 this mod

DON'T

changes anything that I could easily see from myself...

So man, take it easy. :D

EDIT: Oooops... My mistake. I forgot the red word! :D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tzincbg:
Mmm not really. Actually that is the only mod that doesn't interfere with performance, takez zero ram, all apps continue to work and makes pictures cleare, sharper, with more contrast. So it actually is a tweak that is with perfect allignment with the vision of Cybermaus for a clean clear , bloatware- free rom. However I do agree that it stops it from being boring. Bravia engine makes it bright. :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cybermaus:
Well, shouting ignored, I am pleased tzincbg makes this remark: "your belief that all tweaks are worthless. YOU ARE RIGHT FOR MOST"

At least we understand each other there. Somewhat (it's not the fact that many do not work that worries me, that would be OK, it the fact that they may behave unpredictable on different hardware, which is worse, especially since I do not have the hardware to test it out myself)

As to the Bravia Engine, you may recall I gave two reasons why I will not include it. The above is one, but "Also because I do not want to steal the pleasure away from those that like such thing of running the pimp tool themselves."

There seems to be a nice tool to do this yourself for anyone who wishes to, so we can have it both ways. With, for people that like this, and without, for people who do not see the need. Why would I take away that choice?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tzincbg:
Well at least , please, do what other rom developers do - put a link to the flashable bravia zip somewhere in the first 3 posts- unter a bolded title:

User suggested tweaks

which users have the choice to use it or not.

Thank you very much . Lenovo users deserve to have EASY access to something so valuable and found through trial and error, flashing and reflashing.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cybermaus:
Reserving space for such "user endorsed tweaks" actually sounds like a good idea.

But if so, some guidelines seem logical. Like it would mean I need at least

two users

vouching for it to have benefit and be without issues, after they used it

themselves

on the

actual hardware

for at

least a week

without issues, and no users with negative experiences.

For the Bravia tweak, the counter is at 1:0 (Alisson does not count, because a) she is using the wrong ROM, and b) she has no negative experience, she simply did not see any positive ones)

This is reasonable, yes?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sk1rge:
If you think you as a Lenovo user deserve something, well, go to Lenovo. ROM developers here on XDA are free to do with their ROMs whatever they like, at least that's how I understand people here do their work for free.

I was not saying "don't use BRAVIA" because Pimp My ROM is not good. I was just saying Pimp My ROM is not good for me personally and giving some reasons.

If Cybermaus is willing to take the effort and provide a BRAVIA update for this small community of Lenovo users, I'd be thankful, just in my mind BRAVIA is not really a must have (so no vouch from me). But different people have different needs, so here's the place to collect opinions.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alissoncg:

Oops, sorry.

Actually, now I think about it, the feminine form is Alise even in my own country (or Alice in English). And 'son' clearly indicate masculine. Its just that I never encountered the masculine form ever, so apparently without thinking about it my brain associated with the closest thing it did know, which are the various Alise's I know or know of. Which makes my mistake even more silly and unthinking. Again, sorry.
