I already installed VIBE ROM for K860 and finally came to decision that i will move back to kiotu 2.03 + patch v.4.

The vibe rom is very good when it came to the design and system UI.

But, really consumed a lot RAM space. I was only able to score around 60MB of RAM space compared to 150MB space when i was on Kiotu's.

My real concern is when i was playing 720p video using MX Player, the video was lagging.

And also because the low RAM, bbm apps was not working good.

is there any good 4.2.1 / 4.2.2 rom that is really recommended when it comes to performance matters?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Holandeserrante:
Hi Silesh,

One more question; If I update the VIBE ROM through OTA (or flash my phone with the latest VIBE ROM version), will the framework created by you still work?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Silesh.Nair:
Depends on what is getting updated via OTA. If either of the files that have been modded by me are affected, OTA will fail.

You will then have to flash the stock ROM, get the OTA flashed and then send me the framework-res.apk again to be modded.

Or

Flash the updated szb on your phone. Try flashing my mod. If it doesn't work, then send me the framework-res.apk from the updated ROM.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] viveknaudiyal:
Thanks Silesh. WIll definitely give this a try
[Miscellaneous Android Development] wikowikowiko:
Kiotu 2.03 didnt not flash user data after installing. so, if you moved from 4.2 to 4.1.2 Kiotu's version, you need to wipe user data using CWM riht after installation. Or, you can flash kiotu 2.02, then flash 2.03.

is there any valid link for stock 4.04 international version?

tried to search it but did not find.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Silesh.Nair:
http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=2265359533&uk=2100050544

There is a OTA update K860_1_s_2_03_0183_130726 ( 245 MB )

Flash the rom from the link and you should get the OTA on your phone. I am presuming that you are using the k860. There is no international rom for k860i.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] wikowikowiko:
Hi silesh, yes, I'm using k860.

AOKP JB 4.1.2 for K860

Here is another ROM for K860, AOKP JB 4.1.2 By Bro Fly :good:

http://a.it168.com/thread-343442-1-1.html

You can view the descriptions/screenshot in the above link.

ROM Download (220+MB) :

https://www.dropbox.com/s/s444i3qdag4d63i/k860_fly_aokp-4.1.2.szb

Support Multi-Languge, Full Market, Android Camera, Rooted. 3rd party Chinese Recovery included.

But there is a lot to touch up (depends on individual) as there are quite a lot of Chinese app embeded.

Google services need to load up separately.

Fixed previous Headphone problem.

I have just tried out for a day, no major problem so far.

Not recommended for ppl who look for off-the-shelf product.

Just sharing for anyone who interested to try it out (at your own risk)

Flashing method refer to post # 39.

Enjoy!

As I think You will not setup separataly Google applications when You still have the chinese original rom..

First download the 4.04 enlish factory clear rom that works perfectly on the k860. You can find it in this forum number 56 th post.

I was tryed the lindroind rom before christmas but it is full with bugs, application stopps or froozens so I can not offer for anybody.

And it is very slow...

In this time the best is the 4.0.4 enlglish rom

But can anybody help where can I buy display glass for this mobile ?

Peter[/QUOTE]

actually, i managed to get google framework running with the original chinese rom... but it was difficult and involved copying a lot of apk's and framework files individually into the system folders and altering linux write/run permissions manually... and when i got the google play store working, it STILL said that the handset was 'not compatible' with about 60 or 70% of the apps i tried to download. i did NOT have this compatibility problem with the ROW lenovo rom, which i am currently using (and is very stable and has built in FULL support for all google play things and google services! much easier to use that rom, if you prefer to keep things stock but retain full use of google.)

---------- Post added at 04:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:46 PM ----------

this phone seems to require special szb roms. unless the samsung phones also use these, and unless all the components are the same.. i doubt this is possible. camera, cell radio etc are probably going to be different? maybe try and let us know :)

Umts frequency

I'm very interested by this phone. I've read that it only supports 2100 MHZ frequency for umts.

Is it confirmed ?

Is there a notification/status led ?

Thanks in advance ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] karLcx:
i can confirm it supports 2100mhz. not sure how you'd confirm it doesn't support other frequencies unless you buy it to try with a carrier you already know requires an unsupported frequency. different sources of specs all seem to say the same thing, so chances are it's true - 2100 only for umts. kind of annoying, really as it would be good for use in the US if it supported 850mhz, and probably get better service in australia with 850 and 900mhz (though 2100 is enough to get you working in most areas of aust).

also, no notification led. would be nice, but no.

[need help asap] bricked :(

Excuse me, my K860 is bricked. And I don't know where I can ask for help other than this thread

So, I flashed wrong bootloader by fastboot. And now it won't turn on. The screen just stays blank. It doesn't even show the Lenovo logo.

Tried Vol up/Vol down + power but it won't even vibrate.

I tried charging it for half an hour, it still won't boot. But it's getting warmer so I know that the electricity flows, maybe it does charge.

Can anyone help me please?

If you need more information please just ask

Thanks

Lenovo has released the new updated vibe ROM yesterday in szb format.

The ROM has new virtual keys same like full nexus 4.

Hi Silesh, Can you come to my rescue again. I have installed the latest vibe rom released yesterday , but again not able to amend the framework-res.apk.

Can you please do the same as you did last time for me,

I want to add the below mentioned for the location fix

decompile framework-res.apk,

search /res/values/arrays.xml search for "config_locationProviderPackageNames", it should look like this:

++ <string-array name="config_locationProviderPackageNames">

+++++ <item>com.google.android.location</item> <-- add this line for fix

[Miscellaneous Android Development] nekromaniak:
Hi Silesh.Nair, i just flashed the latest vibe rom via sdfuse method and managed to retrieve the framework-res.apk via adb pull. Then i decompiled, added the google location line fix and recompiled it by referring to this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1805408

After that, im lost.. is it a must to sign and zipalign it? how can i achieve that? Appreciate if you can provide a guide or something for future updates as Im pretty sure this will not be the last time we need a modded framework-res.apk

I tried looking at your guide about modifying the szb but its way too compilcated for me. So i just went with the easier sdfuse method->mod/replace framework-res.. Ussd code is still fixable by replacing librapid-ril-core.so, its just that Location Service within framework-res.apk..........:confused:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Silesh.Nair:
How can u replace an apk using sdfuse method?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Silesh.Nair:
Procedure for decompiling/compiling apk

Download this apktool by connor and extract it.

Copy your roms framework files( Usually only framework-res.apk, but are different for different phones ) and the apk that you want to decompile to apktool folder.

Extract resources using the command given below.

apktool if framework-res.apk

If there are more, then extract them too using the format

Decompile the apk you want to mod using the command

apktool d apkname.apk

This will create a folder with the contents of the extracted apk. The folder will have the same name as the apk.

Make changes. Compile the changes using the command

apktool b foldername

If all goes well, your new apk will be created. Copy the META-INF folder from the original apk to the new apk. Done.

Guess i put my words wrongly... here's what i did:

1. Flash ROM via sdfuse

2. Link CMW recovery via sdfuse

3. getspace and superuser via CMW recovery

4. replace librapid-ril-core.so

5. adb pull framework-res

6. apk if framework-res.apk and lenovo-res.apk

7. apk d framework-res.apk

8. add google location line fix at array.xml

9. apk b framework-res

10. Pulled META-INF folder from original framework-res.apk and added into the modded apk

11. Overwrote the phone's apk inside /system/framework with Root Explorer

12. Rebooted instantly but stuck at "For those who do" screen

I also noticed in your previous mod for Holandeserrante, you added in this:

android.hardware.location.xml

May i know what is this for?

As early k860 user I think you should look elsewhere, lenovo support on software development is umm... almost non existence :eek: for international user. The problem is in the local market they making it more and more incompatible for google apps, not to mention lots of preload app with chinese without english translation. I think for now, xiaomi could be a better bet than lenovo and I might swicth soon. Xiomi device is hard to get outside china, but there is some local seller who sold it overseas. Just google around to know which one have good reputation, I know there is one but you better look around yourself.

My last effort was to flash miui 4.13 but google account manager always force closed. My workaround is to install miui v3.9x sign to google accound and flash miui 4.13. Gapps works, but then wifi stuck on "turning on wifi." I gave up and use earlier viberom in this thread. Been using Kiotu for few months, but I think viberom 4.2.1 more stable overall.
