Foxtrot v100 is the most stable and with "Deutsch" language, voice calling feature (both SIMs), FM Radio and custom TTS support...It has many other improvements as well...On top, you can further increase the device performance by running "V6 super charger script" suggested by garringm...

The ROM is ported from Lenovo A750 phone, it is CWM flashable and you can restore your back-up thru CWM...Just be sure that the mount point for "/system" in your current ROM is "mmcblk0p6"...If it is "mmcblk0p7", then you would need to build a .zip ROM in Android kitchen with the correct mount point to restore your current back-up !!!

You can find Foxtrot v100 here :-

Sorry...no idea !!!
[Android General] thunder141:
Thank you. I would try Foxtrot, but as a beginner I have those problems:

- Can't find the link to a cwm flashable version, only cwm backup, which directs me to a non bootable device again. What have I done wrong? Google translate isn't as good to understand the russiona page for me.

- Where can I find out, what mount point i have for /system ?
[Android General] makbro:
The googledocs D/L link for Foxtrot v100.rar is :- https://docs.google.com/open?id=0By3a11Z9icECVUp5NHlIbWMxQnM

If what you mean to say is when you flash this ROM, your device becomes un-bootable, the reason is your "/system" is not mounted at "mmcblk0p6" which the new "boot.img" flashed with the Foxtrot ROM searches for...In this case, you need to modify this ROM in Android Kitchen and change the "updater-script" to format the existing "/system" at "mmcblk0p7", mount and write the new "/system" at "mmcblk0p6", only then it will boot !!!

Also remember that once you do this, you'll need to cook a .zip in Android Kitchen for your current ROM also so that it does the reverse (write the /system again at mmcblk0p7)

If you have made a back-up of your stock ROM with Gscript Lite or a Nandroid back-up with any method, the file "firmware.info" or the "MT6575 scatter.txt" generated within the back-up can tell you all the mount points...The one for "/android" is your "/system"...

The other (easier) way is to open "terminal" and type "cat /proc/emmc" and press enter, all mount points would be displayed :)
[Android General] thunder141:
Thx for the info. Android terminal Emulator gives me emmc_p6 for android, so I assume this is the "wrong" mountpoint for system that should be p7?

Other things sound quite complicated. Isn't there any easier way thatn using a kitchen tool?

The downloaded rar is a cwm backup not a cwm flashable rom, right?
[Android General] manwithmanypiercings:
Has anyone tried to install TWRP by using Goo manager on this device? I know i've seen someone say they were running TWRP but they flashed it after they had installed CW.
[Android General] xclaw:
Rooted and ran the "V6" supercharger scripts but I'm still having issues with the youtube app playing properly. Which is odd since I can use other apps to stream up to so called 720p just fine. Are there any other tweaks that can be applied or is this mainly an issue with the youtube app itself?
[Android General] makbro:
It is curious that your android mount point is _p6 and the Foxtrot ROM still doesn't work, it should since it uses the same mount point for android...The stock actually uses _p7 after updates, that creates a problem, but you don't have that issue !!!

The downloaded .rar is a flashable ROM as it includes "boot.img" and "recovery.img", you can call it a back-up since it is created as one...The normal CWM back-ups include the system, data, cache only...The other format of the CWM flashable ROMs is a .zip, No custom ROM is available as a .zip yet (to the best of my knowledge)...But it can be easily cooked in Android Kitchen...

The other way of flashing custom ROMs is thru SP Flash Tool, but that you should not attempt it till you have the full Nandroid back-up, created preferably thru Gscript Lite as described in step 2 here :- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2044496

Moreover, some members have found it troublesome to revert to stock ROM due to incomplete Nandroid back-ups...

Once you have the full Nandroid back-up, you can install the "SP_FT_Foxtrot_100" using the flash tool provided in the same post of Foxtrot...As he says, the ROM is for 16 GB device, don't flash the "fat" image if you have 4GB device...Don't worry, just use the scatter file he provides for 4GB model which ensures "fat" is not flashed...

[Android General] thunder141:
Could be that i Made mistake in restoring the Images of Foxtrot in CWM thus my device does Not Boot?

My device by the way is 16gb
[Android General] makbro:
Possible, did you perform all three wipes (data/factory reset, cache parition and dalvik cahe) before flashing and used "Restore" option for Flashing under CWM ???
[Android General] mmis:
Hi, may I know if this will be applicable for the stock ROM (Erasing the USB storage)?! BTW, for me sd card is the external sd and sdcard2 is the internal storage (USB storage), I wonder why it is different, I am not sure whats going on because my device was 4 GB then it is showing 16 GB after repair, is there any tool could determine the actual storage space by itself without using system information which might be wrong. Thanks.
[Android General] thunder141:
Made a second try after repairing some issues on my external sd card and now the rom is booting.

Something to take care of? Some patch that I have to use having 16GB internal SD?

Is ist now possible for me without any further adaptions to make a backup of the new rom with my apps with CWM Recovery ?

Thx again for your help.
[Android General] makbro:
Well, if your sdcard2 is internal storage, it means the memory patch "patch main to SD2" has been installed that makes the external sdcard as sd...No need to worry, you can run the patch "patch main to SD" from CWM to get back to original if you want...Otherwise, it doesn't make a difference...The patch main to SD2 was developed for people like me who have 4GB internal memory (less) so that we can use external sdcard (upto 32GB) as the main memory :)

There's no tool (as far as I know) that would show you the correct memory capacity except (may be) Gparted under Linux...And yes, you can back-up your data from SD, then format it as I described to show actual capacity and then recopy the data back for stock ROM also !!!

---------- Post added at 12:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:30 PM ----------

You can back-up your new ROM from CWM "Backup" option as well as "Gscript Lite" OR "onandroid"...Any way you like !!!

For using "onandroid", you can follow the "Installation through Manual Method" of this guide to make a full Nandroid back-up of any installed ROM without booting into recovery :-

http://tips4droid.com/make-nandroid-backups-on-android-without-booting-into-recovery/

EDIT : In case of onandroid, if you use the "onandroid -s" command, you can enter the path of back-up as "/mnt/sdcard2" so that the back-up is stored directly to your external SD
[Android General] mmis:
do you think that the internal memory size problem will be solved if I flashed the update.zip from the post below using the stock recovery as described? and is it safe to do so? thanks again.

[Android General] thunder141:
I have on little thing with the foxtrot rom, perhaps you know: The internal sd is shown as Massenspeicher, the external as "SD Karter". Any chance to get this displayed as normal sdcard and sdcard2 in File Managers?
[Android General] mmis:
it might be something in the language settings.
[Android General] thunder141:
No, my sdcard for example is labeled as LENOVO32GB. In Windows it shows this label when connected, while the internal sdcard in windows has no label.

But the android filemanager shows "MASSENSPEICHER" and "SD KARTER"

In stock rom it shows "sdcard" and "sdcard2" like the mountpoints I think
[Android General] makbro:
Does the problem stay if you select English language as well ??? I don't remember facing this problem when I changed the language to English, bu then again, I cooked a modified version of Foxtrot ROM pretty quickly (just after 2-3 days) changing many things including "build.prop" to make a full English version and Apps of my preference :)

EDIT : I can upload the Foxtrot ROM I cooked for English version if you want, it doesn't have such a problem !!!

---------- Post added at 05:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:02 PM ----------

Most probably not, cause it needs formatting to show the correct capacity...It's really not risky at all, just save all contents of your internal sd somewhere (PC may be or your external sd), format using "Erase USB storage" option in "settings" and then copy the data again :)
[Android General] thunder141:
I think I can live with that. The bad thing is, that both external sd and internal sd shows wrong amount of space. Does your rom has this issue? And is it still multilanguage?
[Android General] makbro:
No, it does not have wrong memory display in case of external SD, the internal SD may be shown as 11.5GB, but you can correct that as well by formatting before you install your own apps/ data...And yes, it is still multilingual...It installs with English as default but has same language support as Foxtrot ROM...As I said, it is Foxtrot v100 with language, apps and a few settings personalization :)

Give it a try if you want, it installs from the option "Install zip from sdcard" within CWM (of course the sdcard here means the root of your external sdcard)...Here it is :-

[Android General] thunder141:
Thx for providing me your rom.

it is much more smaller than the foxtrot_v101 zip I found in the 4pda forum. Is it an update.zip or must I install as normal (wipe, etc.) ?

And is ist just as min (system as p6)?
[Android General] makbro:
It is like update.zip and installed thru "Install Zip from sdcard" in CWM...You need to do all 3 wipes before install...The /system is at mmcblk0p6 :)

It is smaller since it only includes "boot.img" and "/system", so that you can personalize the /data as preferred :)

You can restore any back-up or install any CWM Flashable ROM later if you don't like this as well ;)
[Android General] thunder141:
I will give it a try. Thank you
[Android General] thunder141:
Have you any experience with the Gui Online Nandroid Backup?

I have installed onnandroid but when I try to use it with the GUI, it tolds me I have to update the skript, downloads the update, installs it but then again tells me I have to update thus never giving the chance to make a backup.

I know, I can do it with Terminal, but GUI is better ;)

Concering your modified rom: It works for me, seems to run bit faster but still has the issue with sdcards shown in file manager as "Massenspeicher" and "SD Karter".

And I can not Erase USB Storage from Menu. Always says me "Try later"
[Android General] makbro:
Sorry, no experience with onandroid GUI...

As unlikely as it may sound, believe me, I don't face these issues (neither sdcard, nor Erase USB), I am using exactly the same ROM !!!

One question though, what labels are displayed in "ES File Explorer" and "Root Explorer" for your sdcards ???

EDIT : I think I may have found a clue to your problem...Isn't "Massenspeicher" German for "Mass Storage Device" and "SD Karter" for "SD Card" ??? Since File Manager is a system app, it changes language as you change the system language :)
[Android General] thunder141:
ES File Explorer shows Linux like file structure and thus sdcard or /mnt/sdcard2

Massenspeicher is german for Mass Storage Device but the other should be "SD Karte" without the r ;)

But this is only a small issue. I like your modified rom, cause it has much more free space than stock ;)

---------- Post added at 09:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:16 PM ----------

I presume the pemergency ROM is for the -H model not -F...If you have a rooted device and CWM, try to do factory reset...In case that doesn't work, you can restore any ROM thru CWM...

If device was not rooted and without CWM, then you need to flash a ROM using SP Flash Tool...I think garringm has posted images of his stock ROM Nandroid back-up in this thread, you can use those images to flash the stock ROM trough SP Flash Tool

---------- Post added at 09:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:23 PM ----------

Did u run "root.bat" script to get root or MTK Droid Tools ??? If the rooting is complete, you should have Root Explorer installed as well and you should see all contents including /system
