Installation problems

EDIT

Got everything working , thx cyabermaus for an excellent ROM and tutorial. I was missing the step with recovery flash and was trying to do everything from non CWM recovery without even realizing it.

Hi ,

I have a lenovo a789 for a few days and I am quite a neoob on the Android specifics.

I rooted my phone using MTK droid tools , installed superuser , mobile uncle and root explorer.

I have downloaded A789_ROW_S107_cybermaus_ICS_v3.2 and rebooted my phone to recovery , selected update from SD card and it Fails because of the signature and aborts the instalation. I have tried to install the APKH recovery that cybermouse provided using SP flash tool and after it downloads the recovery to my phone the phone refuses to reboot to recovery.

Can you please explain to me step by step how to do the wipe and how to install your ROM. I have read all of your main posts and loads of related ones and they just don't seem to do me any good. I have a feeling that I am missing something but I am all out of ideas.

P.S. Google Play crashes ( doesn't even load) after installing it.

Hi Cybermaus

I just brought lenovo A660.

Already root, have recovery but with Chinese character.

I want to change the recovery and use A660_ROW_S107_cybermaus_ICS_v3.21 ROM

So I must do:

- flash recovery (A660_recovery_cybermaus.7z)

- flash the ROM (A660_ROW_S107_cybermaus_ICS_v3.21)

Is it correct? Or do I miss something?

The ROM also gave 2GB for system (originally 512MB ???)

If I install this ROM (A660_ROW_S107_cybermaus_ICS_v3.21), it will change the storage for system or not?

Thanks

Very important question about custom rom of Cybermaus

Advance thanks to all . I have read the following post http://xdaforums.com/show....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 the post http://xdaforums.com/show....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_c alen dar" & "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?

A totally demoralised A660 new owner's plea for help

Good afternoon to one and all,

I have been trying for several days (literally) to flash my recovery, root and then install cybermaus' A660_ROW_S107_cybermaus_ICS_v3.21 ROM on my newly acquired A660, and have accomplished nothing so far. I have rarely felt so defeated by anything as this. I have read what I believe to be everything available on the net about this phone and have tried to follow all available tutorials to do what I want. It might be age because I'm sure that 25+ years ago I could have made out somehow ........

I was sure that I had found my holy grail in this tutorial, but I have gone no further than half of "Step 1". My PC (a dual boot Ubuntu/W7 setup) recognizes the phone OK but then I get this message while using Flash Tool.

Will any one be good enough to help me to the next step? I am about to start banging my head against the wall. I've exhausted all other avenues before asking you guys for help but now am begging ........
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bayustev:
From my experience.. When you want to flash custom recovery, you should included the whole rom then replace re overy stock file with custom recovery file. Then presh f9..(btw after pressing f9 you phone should off position and batt remove. Then put batt again as quickly as possible then connect usb data cable to your phone.)

blue tooth disconnecting problems

hi all.

something is really bother me. I have ask about that a few month ago and I didn't get an answer.

the blue tooth disconnecting after a few minuets and after a several time it connecting automatically it's disconnect and not connecting again.

that make me crazy because I use blue tooth car kit, and I want it.

I have checked that also on other A789 device that i bought for my brother and also the same problem. I've tried that with the originally

roms and also the cybermaus and andreas.

just for note, i removed the power battery management app that came with the rom that can get the phone into some sleep mode.

i saw there is a radio firmware updates maybe should i try those? maybe that's can help?

which version of radio FW there is in A789_ROW_S106_cybermaus_ICS_V3.21 ?

how can it be, its bother nobody?

Hi folks,

Are these roms flash or update based? It's a bit confusing from the initial post.

Buying a Lenovo A789, Screen Quality & Mobile Performace? & Sensors

Hello! I'm thinking of getting the Lenovo A789. I wanted to know a little bit more about the TFT screen. How are the viewing angles? Is the resolution nice or can pixels really visible? What other mobile would you compare the screen with? I currently have a Samsung Galaxy S i9000 to compare with :)

Second thing I would really like to know is the performance of the mobile. Is it lag free? Can it be used intensively for multi-tasking? How long does the battery life hold with wifi on during the day? Does the battery auto-stops charging once it is 100% (I read that somewhere)? :D

Finally I wanted to know the type of sensors the A789 has - does it have all of the following: Gravity Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Light Sensor?

Looks like a really cool phone! Cannot wait to have it :D

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myxal:
I have A789 and the TN (aka "TFT") screen's viewing angles are as bad as any TN screen. I wrongly assumend that TFT was simply unspecified IPS (I have a ZTE Blade and it also didn't have IPS mentioned in the specs).

If I had known the screen on A789 was TN, I'd never have bought it. I can hardly stand TN screens on desktop/laptop monitors, where I look at the screen from limited viewing positions and rarely rotate the screen. On a phone, the screen is "tolerable" in portrait mode, and downright terrible in landscape mode.

The pixel density is decent - you can see the pixels if you squint hard enough, but I can't imagine a scenario where it would be a limitation. I read a book and quite a few manga volumes on it in landscape mode, and didn't need to scroll horizontally.

I suggest you look at the P700i, it should be the same hardware except for the screen (P700i has IPS), and comes with "international" support (functioning location services, etc.) out of the box.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oz42:
It depends on what ROM version you are using. Anyway, if you have your ROM as update.zip, then open it, copy contacts.apk from /system/app to your PC.

On your phone, enable "USB debugging". Reboot to recovery, connect to PC, start adb.exe (available e.g. here) this way:

C:\>adb shell

enter "mount -o rw /system"

enter "exit"

enter

C:\>adb push \foo\bar\contacts.apk /system/app

enter

C:\>adb shell

enter

"chmod 0644 /system/app/contacts.apk"

go back to the phone, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache (not sure if that is necessary, but it won't hurt). reboot and tell us if it works.
