i already updated the post, using root.zip provided by chainfire (link provided) solved the issue, it will also delete the previous root files that failed. I tested it myself and worked, the root manager do take time to show at first root request.

Ow, sorry I've no such problem here, have u also replaced the framework-res.apk and set the correct permission for both file? And of course rebooting afterwards.

Edit: forgot to ask, but which rom did u use? the framework and systemui was pulled from 130531
[Miscellaneous Android Development] viveknaudiyal:
Yeah Replaced the framework-res.apk also. The phone booted after both the files were moved.

I am using the K860_1_S_2_003_0007_130524.zip update as I am not able to download the new rom due to very slow download speed.

Chrome is working fine now.

How did you reduce the size of the homepage icons. I looks really great. It is excellent
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Arne_B:
Hi all!

It's been a while since I've written here.

As you can see I updated my first original post a little bit :p I gave it some color and tried to make it a bit more clear :D

It's still allot of work, so WIP!

But if you know any post here in the thread I should link to in the first post please let me know or PM me!

Thanks!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vikrant82:
Ah! Another build : http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=1560792765&uk=3742258675

Thankfully a zip! Have not been able to download it yet (slow speed n all), but it might be a szb.

I will try to debloat, apply various fixes (including gapps) and post updated SZB later tonight. i.e. If I am able to download it.

waiting for your 4.2.1 rom
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Holandeserrante:
Obviously Viveknaudiyal and Kiotu were able to install everything correctly and making their phones work perfectly, but I´m sure lots of K860/K860i owners weren´t able to, like myself, mostly due to the lack of knowledge.

So I´m wondering if there´s anyone willing to make a step-by-step tutorial on how to flash ROM, Root, flash CWM, change USSD etc. for dummies.

There´s loads of info on the K860 phones, but it´s on 50.000 websites and posts etc. and it can take you forever to scroll through all that info and it´s quite confusing, also since a lot of it is in Chinese.

If there´s anyone who can make 1 single up-to-date step-by-step post here including links to all necessary software, it would sure make life a hell of a lot easier.

I would definitely appreciate that.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Holandeserrante:
1.) I´ve successfully flashed the ROM (K860i_1_S_2_003_0031_130530_szb)

2.) I´ve successfully flashed the recovery (using Link_cwm_recoveryV1.szb file)

3.) I´ve successfully rooted the phone (using Superuser_Dhiiyka.zip file + UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.30.zip file)

4.) I´ve replaced librapid-ril-core.so + librapid-ril-util.so + libreference-ril.so + libril.so files in system/lib and rild file in system/bin (using rillibrary.zip file + Root Explorer as Superuser) as to fix the USSD codes

5.) And finally I´ve flashed the Gapps through Recovery (using gapps-jb-20121212-signed.zip file), apparently successfull too.

So why don´t I have Google Play, Google Maps etc. on my phone now?

The only icon I have now is the one from Google Mail, but not the rest.

What did I do wrong?

Can anyone help me out here please?

Repackaged/Debloated supercharged final JB 4.2.1 (K860_1_S_2_003_0020_130605)

As promised, here's the latest version released yesterday - K860_1_S_2_003_0020_130605, repackaged with all fixes, gapps, root etc for everyone struggling here.

The changes are:

1. Debloated - Around 125MB free on system partition (before Gapps and my apps)

2. Cleared preload partition

3. Gapps latest pre-installed (Updated Google apps as on 6th June i.e.) - Google Music App, Gmail (the new version 4.5), Maps, Google Now, Search, Calendar etc. Everything on system partition to save space.

4. Rooted out-of-the-box along with latest SuperUser apk.

5. Added light weight GB keyboard (For basic setup purposes, to save space)

6. USSD fix included

7. Google Location fix included

8. Market fix included

9. Replaced default recovery with CWM (Meaning, you can directly go to CWM from option 3 in Mode A menu)

10. Host file updated from ad-away (No ads)

11. GPS.conf tweaks

12. Browser and a cleanup utility put in (Boat browser, SystemCleanup_Intek)

13. Replaced lenovo launcher with the newer version - 3.2.2

14. Replaced Email and Exchange APKs with hacked version (which won't enforce PIN lock on corporate exchange network)

Lenovo apps left are - LeUpgrade, Phone Manager (Not sure what its use) and LenovoStore

How to flash:

Come on; its a SZB, you know how to do that. Just brush (read flash ;)) it.

What else to do

Well, nothing!

Please note that this will format data partition.

Download Link (Google Drive): http://goo.gl/Lpo3Y

Some intentional debloating (If you wish to use those features):

- I had removed liblenovo_liveeffect_library.so from /system/lib/ as it was around 8 mb. It was necessary to have all latest google apps in system partition. It's used for special effects through the magic wand icon in the bundled camera app. If you wish to have those effects, extract this file into /system/lib with permissions rw-r--r--

- Of course if there's not enough space on system partition for that file, Replace the autorun.iso in /system/media/ with the one attached, it will save you around 10-11mb in the system parition as it contains LeDrivers.msi (also attached), which you can keep instead in SD card (All files attached)

- There's also an issue with adding APNs in some regions (which is an issue with chinese ROMs in general). To be able to add APNs, replace the attached telephony.db into /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases with permissions rw-rw-rw-

You are welcome.

k860 english ROM

I can not believe thatsomeone has this modell with google play and in normal englis rom

I was so stupid to buy from the chinabuye.com and for me it is only available to download apps (mostly not working) from the lenovo store

dissapointing and unbeliveable why it is logical for the creators to setup a lenovo store besides the google play

I will read this forum carefully and try to setup english rom like the other REALLY android phones has

P.

Do you thing that I can try this rom chaning into my new lenovo ?

thanks a lot ...

I have to tell I'am fearing from the complications and I do not want to drop this phone away after 3 weeks...

But the chinese lenovo store and rom is really dissapointing..

thanks : Peter
[Miscellaneous Android Development] k1llerm:

Hi !

That is true and I can offer for anybody. For beginners as well. The new english rom setup was really easy and I could easily follow the instructions that I was downloaded from the 56th post link.

So the creator was really do a complete work. All the apps working perfectly and I could not tell it about the chinese preset apps neither the lenovo market apps in the past.

Thanks for all !

any bugs on this rom ?

Known Bug

I have not experienced any bugs after using for a day or so.

Only bug as stated by the author is : It is not stable during charging.

Headphone bug fixed. Map is not installed. (see attached)

One of the Best ROM I have used for K860 so far.

It is worth to try it out.:)

P.S. You need to unzip after downloading. The ROM extension should be .szb.

Flashing method please refer to post #39

Enjoy!:highfive:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] viveknaudiyal:
Does format data partition mean that it would remove all the apps that are already installed on my phone
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vikrant82:
Yes since most of apps by-default installed in /data/app, they will be deleted. You can take backup of /data/app and /data/app-lib folders to your SD card. Install this ROM and copy those folders back using the built in Root explorer app. You don't have to worry about permissions etc as the root explorer will automatically take care of them.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] wikowikowiko:
wow........ I'll try it immediately!!:laugh::laugh:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] highbud:
thats fast.

in point 9 your post, does it mean Mode A will disappear? pure CWM? can we still install the szb format after Mode A disappears? if we can, how?

thank you.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vikrant82:
Sorry for the confusion. Nope, Mode A won't disappear. But you can choose option 3 in Mode A menu and go into CWM directly. In some bootloaders, you couldn't enter CWM by clicking option 3 (i.e. Recovery). So rebooting into recovery using a rebooter tool was only option.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Holandeserrante:
Repackaged/Debloated supercharged final JB 4.2.1 (K860_1_S_2_003_0020_130605)

Jeezzzz vikrant82,

It´s incredible you´ve launched this rom so fast. Thanks for all the work.

Just one question; I suppose this rom for the K860, but will it also work on the K860i?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vikrant82:
Well I have been installing K860i roms on K860 without any issues. As also reported here, it has been known to work other way as well. So you can try.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Holandeserrante:
Well, thinking logically it should work since the phones are basically the same.

The K860i is a pimped K860 having a 1.6 GHz clock (K860 has 1.4 GHz), 2GB RAM (K860 has 1GB RAM) and 16GB of internal memory (K860 has 8GB).

And the K860i has an electronic compass which the K860 does not have.

Suppose that installing a K860 rom on the K860i will not affect any of these upgrades no?

It will still work at 1.6 GHz and the electronic compass will also still work?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vikrant82:
Not sure buddy! I guess, you will have to find out the hard way.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bluerabb:
I have tested this ROM on K860i and everything seems to work properly. Later I will try to test all features like sharing WLAN, personal hotspot etc.

BUT, system is saying that I have only 1,4 GHz and only 1G RAM.

I will try to see if other aplication will detect hardware in a right way.

THANK YOU for good work and for sharing.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] viveknaudiyal:
The reason for this can be no space in the system folder. Before installing Gapps you will need to debloat and free system space so that this can be installed.

Install NoBloat & SystemCleanup. Run system cleanup. It will show system space available on the top.

Using No Bloat remove the apps you dont require to free system space. If you are not able to decide which to remove run systemcleanup and move apps to data which show only system or safe to remove. Once you have enough system space install Gapps

Hope this helps
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Holandeserrante:
Thanks viveknaudiyal for your advice, will try as you describe.

However, don´t know if it´s not more interesting for me to install the new K860_1_S_2_003_0020_130605 ROM offered by vikrant82.

It depends on whether someone can confirm me if the K860i will finally run on 1.6 GHZ and with 2GB RAM with this ROM.

Bluerabb, did you have any luck finding out?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] diquan2001:
K860i not booting

I have this problem my K860i is not booting anymore .

It was running fine one moment and the next the screen just turned darker .

I thought the battery was low and it went to energy safe mode .

But now when i try too reboot with a new fresh battery in the phone i just see the Lenovo logo appear and then the screen turns black again.

I can see that the backlight is on though .

Anyone have a idea what is wrong ??

Update : did a CWM Reset .Lost everything but phone is now working again ..

Any of you guys have a better working ROM im using this one K860_1_S_2_003_0020_130605_szb.zip

[Miscellaneous Android Development] kiotu:
Greaaat, will try this one instead of the stock zip, oh and is the system apks & the framework jars been deodexed & zipalign in this package?

Edit: flashed the rom, the apps and jar is still odex, but I already have it deodexed and zipalign (don't know if it's placebo effect, but the free ram seemed better afterwards), so no big deal, it's a nice slim package. But one thing do bugging me, i think u'll be in trouble here in xda if u include any licensed app in a custom rom. Maybe u better do something about it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vikrant82:
Sorry buddy, just repackaged the stock with all your fixes and removed the bloat.

EDIT: Thanks, I was worried about it. Removed those apps.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] diquan2001:
Where can i find this new ROM Vikrant82 ??
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vikrant82:
Updated original post with new download link - http://goo.gl/Lpo3Y
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Holandeserrante:
Vikrant; I´ve been going through the Chinese Lenovo blog and there are in fact 2 different official Lenovo ROM versions released:

* K860 - K860_1_S_2_003_0020_130605 for the K860 ( which is the one you used for your repacked / improved version)

* K860i - K860i_1_S_2_003_0038_130605 for the K860i

So even though it´s possible to use the K860 ROM on the K860i, there´s obviously a difference between the 2 ROMS, otherwise I suppose Lenovo wouldn´t bother in creating 2 different releases.

I guess this has to do with the fact the K860i has 1GB more RAM and 8GB more ROM than the K860 and it clocks at 1.6GHz instead of 1.4Ghz so in order to make this work correctly both phones need their own adapted ROMS.

So, to make a long story short: would you be able / willing to create a repacked ROM like you did for the K860 but for the K860i phone based on the official K860i_1_S_2_003_0038_130605 ROM?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vladog8:

so i can´t use it:(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vikrant82:
Ya I know about that issue. You just replace the telephone.db from a working rom to /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/

I can attach that if you'd like..

I guess the issue is specifically for folks out of the ROM's targeted region. I have this issue in India.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] milululu:
please up attach for me, thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vikrant82:

Replace telephony.db into /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Holandeserrante:
Vikrant;

Could you create a repacked/debloated ROM like you did for the K860 but for the K860i phone based on the official K860i_1_S_2_003_0038_130605 ROM (downloadable here: http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=1555710652&uk=3742258675)

Hi

thanks for your work, but i still can´t set my APN, the menú dosen´t allow me to set it..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vikrant82:
What happens when you click "Access Point Names" ? You sure, you overwrote the existing telephony.db file and set the required permissions? Well doing this worked for me. Else I am not sure!

Sorry buddy! I created that package for personal use and shared it here. I can try doing it for 860i, but may be in a day or two.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] canteo:
it says "APN list is not completed, please wait and have a new try."
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vikrant82:
Well, that's the same error I would get before replacing that file. You sure you replaced the db file correctly ? What's the size and permissions of telephony.db file in that folder ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] canteo:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] marius_for_you:
Somebody can put SystemUI.apk with transparent status bar for k860 ,but for last rom 4.2.1 ?Thank you!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vikrant82:
Right! That probably means your carrier APN information is not present in that db file. May be you can try picking that db file from a setup where adding APNs worked for you (may be from ICS ROW rom, if you happened to keep a backup).

What's your apn information btw ? You can also probably try edit that db file offline using a sqlitebrowser to insert your APN information.
