Hi spinal2k "não há de quê" ;)

1. Yes, it's my phone. I don't have any idea why it shows only one net signal. By the way, the two SIMs are working.

2. Some apps are only chinese, but are crapware, so I removed with rootexplorer. All others, the important ones, are multilanguage or english.

3. Yes, rooted but no Play Store, only sync with google account. I just flashed it.

4. Humm, let's see... reebooter, fmradio (no transmitter), file explorer (nice app!), root explorer, LBESEC by miui (like original lenovoSEC), miui compass (useless), miui gallery, miui videoplayer, music, sound recorder (nice, emulates a cassete player). All others I installed after flashing ROM.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cybermaus:
you could try to install PlayStore by installing Google GMS. Usually if Play store is not installed, neither is network locations, so look into that too from the same post.

What I wanted to ask though: You say DATA and USB storage is merged? I was analyzing the installer (to see if I could make a P700i/A660 port), and I find no hints whatsoever that it re-partitions the memory. It just installs boot & system as usual. Please explain a bit more.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] spinal2k:
is it just me or the multitasking button switches off screen instead of showing the running apps?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] alissoncg:
Hum... I don't know what network locations does, but I simply flashed google apps from goo.im and everything is working.

It's my english... forgive me! :angel:

Well, after my fist posting here I looked in settings>storage. Actually, there is no more USB internal storage. I don't know what happened, but I don't have access to it (if exists now... maybe was erased?). I assumed that "data" and "usb storage" was merged resulting in a 2.5GB DATA, but I have only 792MB. And no USB Storage, only SD card. When connected to PC in storage mode, there is 2 storage devices detected, 1st is CD card and 2nd it's no mounted.

Please let me know if you want I test something to you.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] alissoncg:
Yes, it's a annoying thing. But we have a excellent app/function to swith beteen apps, just long press home button. Not only a switcher, but a memory cleaner.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] spinal2k:
tbh, i like this rom because off the costumization but i'm going back to cybermaus rom....

this one has loads of bug, i hate the root app that comes in stock!!!!

sometimes i get java errors ( after removing some of the "crapware" )
[Miscellaneous Android Development] alissoncg:
Here I installed SuperSU to bypass the stock one, and until now, no errors.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] spinal2k:
Things i liked in this rom:

1) customize every single piece of the UI ( themes, statusbar, more status bar information such as network speed, settings menus, new widget interactions )

2) i tried several themes, all beautiful and very interactive.

3) sms app no longer prompts for network, just click the send button of the network you want to use

4) loads of languages if you find the menu to change the language ( go to settings, click line with keyboard icon, and click first option )

5) some new options in the notification center which i like ( paging, add or remove toggles, etc )

6) <removed>

7) i love the messages in the lockscreen when you have emails, missing calls, unread sms, etc.

8) unlock screen with 4 options instead of two ( besides camera and unlock we have sms and another one i don't remember )

9) i like this main theme more than i like the original Lenovo theme ( i don't like the default dark and red UI and the default font of the default dialer on the original rom )

Things i found confusing in this rom:

1) one signal bar only, even though both networks are working fine but i like the information on both networks. I live in a very "network unstable" environment.

2) app drawer gone (too many apps is a mess, imo)

3) lots of java errors after removing some of the Chinese apps. Had to reinstall rom and wipe device several times to try and detect which was the app causing all those errors after removal.

4) the stock SU app is problematic (executing a "root needed" app asks for permissions, i allow it and then the app hangs... need to go to app to manually allow again and re-execute the app) and changing to the superSu one not so easy ( after 4 wipes i finnaly did it with out errors )

5) if there is more than one icon/network carrier in the upper LEFT corner, 3 dots appear instead. Don't know what's actually running or not.

6) LBE half chinese half english and if i remove it and install the full chinese one, loads of java errors.

7) Fourth button on the phone ( multitask access button ) does the same as the power button when phone is with screen on ( black screen and locks ). Pressing home button more than 2 or 3 seconds brings up the multitasking menu ( swipe up to remove from memory ).

8) USB Internal storage just dessapeared... "/mnt/sdcard/" is the only one that exists (on cybermays rom, at least on my device, /mnt/sdcard2/ is the sdcard partition and /mnt/sdcard/ is the usb internal partition) and is the sdcard one... you don't get the message "Preparing External Storage" at boot time, widgets work properly from sdcard.

---

There are probably more things i liked and disliked about this rom, i'm already on cybermaus rom. If i remember i'll say it later.

If you go to the "about this phone", you see that this ROM is marked as BETA1....I'll be checking the updates on this one because there are definitely things I liked in this ROM.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] alissoncg:
Strange... As I said, I really don't got any errors! I simply remove all chinese-only apps and everything is ok. In fact, all another problems you pointed really exists, but for me it's acceptable, because the whole ROM is simply beautiful... But it's a beta, so we could expect improvements.

If I understand the china guys (with a little help from google translate ;) ) there is a kind of schedule to do things like this port from ZTE to our A789. There is another phones being ported too, so seems there will be hope for us... :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] alissoncg:
I just discovered that USB internal storage wasn't erased or something else. Apparently it's just not mounted. Because of my "recovery battle", after flash cybermaus one, I looked in recovery and I could see USB internal storage there.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zonatar:
A660

WOW!

A miui rom!

It's possible to have it for the A660?:cyclops:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] spinal2k:
Atm, you cannot install this specific rom on another phone other than the A789...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cybermaus:
I can port to A660 for you, but I see some complains about stability. Are you sure you want me to?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] phatoothie:
Please, sir. Looking forward. Thank you in advance.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] alissoncg:
Seems that this MIUI rom it's really too immature for proper using. I'm coming back. I'm a heavy user of TuneIn Radio Pro (legit) and for some reason this app don't function anymore with this ROM. I has tried everything I know, but it's useless. Network Locations too. I tried cybermaus fix, but there's no option in Mobile Uncle to change settings! I discovered all this only yesterday, because I'm really busy with my work (I'm a musician and music teacher).

Really sad to say that, but this ROM needs a lot of patches to work properly. It's a beta, anyway. Sorry for waste of your time.

I'll try to follow original thread in chinese forum, so if would be a new version, I'll post here.

Thank you and sorry.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cybermaus:
Which means I will not (yet) try to port it to A660 and P700i

Lets try again when a more stable version is available.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] alissoncg:
Beta 3 released!

http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=140327&uk=470803843

Downloading...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] phatoothie:
P700i user here... jealous! :(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] alissoncg:
This ROM have too many bugs yet... :crying:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cybermaus:
If/When Alisson reports it is stable and usable (after proper testing) someone (maybe even me) will port it to P700i and A660
[Miscellaneous Android Development] alissoncg:
Yes, I'm watching the chinese forum (APKHOT) and testing all releases posted there. There is a poll to choose the bugs that can be solved, so there is hope for us :) . Visually, this rom is very very beautiful...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] alissoncg:
EDIT: Official version released! Get it here.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cybermaus:
Cool. But I am not doing any porting yet, I'll wait a bit.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] alissoncg:
I agree. It's a very young ROM yet... But I can see a brilliant future.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cybermaus:
How is the ROM? Ready for prime time and porting to A660 and P700i ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] alissoncg:
Hi cybermaus,

I think it's more stable, because there's no activity in original APKHOT thread. I flashed it and taked 1-2 days using, but now I'm using your rom. I can be wrong, but seems with your ROM the phone's responsiveness is better... But if you plan to port it, I can install and do a few tests for you. It's just let me know.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cybermaus:
Well... if even you as advocate of this ROM went back to the cleaned up factory ROM....

But then again, there is lots of people who wants languages. This one does have many languages, right?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] alissoncg:
Yes, I think it's like any other multilanguage ROM. But at least with portuguese (brazil), the configuration menu is not translated. But system messages and apps come in portuguese.

Indeed, I prefer your ROM now because I was travelling with my family and the worst thing what could happen would bugs in my phone. So I went back, but now I'm back and I have an internet connection and a computer for any emergencies... ;)

But I'm not a "advocate"... Otherwise I would the worst advocate ever. :D I'm just a "semi-hard" android user. If i have you experience and knowledge, for example, I would take this ROM seriously. This Lenovo phone (and I think the other models too) it's a beautiful piece of hardware and deserve other options to explore all its potentiality. Sad there is so few people that know it.

I have an Xperia X8. In its section here at XDA, the people there developed dozens of ROMs, kernels, etc, including JB thru a CM10 port. Can you believe that? It's a 600MHz single core CPU, ~200MB ROM, ~180 RAM and that guys could manage this old phone runs JB!!! I just wonder what could be done with our phones...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zonatar:
I found this on the official lenovo forum.

http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=226399&uk=2685123139

It's a MIUI rom for the A660?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cybermaus:
The biggest problem for Lenovo is the sources have not been published. If we (well, not me, others) have the kernel and driver sources a lot more would be possible.

Ok, so I do not need to do that port anymore....
[Miscellaneous Android Development] alissoncg:
Yes... If we contact Lenovo about this? I'll try to find an email to do that.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] alissoncg:
The chinese guys are busy... :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cybermaus:
Well, initial report for that A660 port are bad, so I made one based on the A789

I do not consider this a 'cybermaus' ROM. Just a blind port:

- moved over kernel/modules/radio from A660 S025

- added GAPPS/GMS

- seemed it was already rooted, but I put in Chainfire's SuperSU

- location stuff seemed to already be present

- set default locale to US-en

- crossing fingers and hope it works

- no idea if you need to wipe data and cache, but if you do wipe data, do it first, or otherwise re-apply the ROM, as the ROM puts some apps in /data during install.

- no idea on how Caller-ID works, and if not whether you need to re-index contacts.

I will not publish unless someone volunteers and provides feedback. I will provide the link via PM.

Please check:

- ..... well everything, really, but also pay attention to Caller-ID, whether location services work, whether play store works, and if there are any china apps to clean up. Also, I left the MIUI bootup animation in there, including sound, but I personally detest sound during bootup, so let me know how noisy or subtle the sound is.

Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zonatar:
I try the porting for the A660, the rom is similar to the one that i get on lenovohome, there's less chinese app and more english in that, btw the sim management doesn't work either, when i make a call the phone ask me wich sim will be use but no sign wich sim recieve a call or in the call log (in the other rom there's always a voice: via "simname", with the color.

And with the sms the phone doesn't ask nothing, send the sms with the sim1, and no sign wich sim receive the sms.

It's a shame, the MIUI rom really look very nice.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cybermaus:
@zonatar

Which ROM exactly do you try? The one linked above on beidu, or the one I just ported from the A789 to which I send you a private link?

Because I am still showing 0 (zero) downloads on that last one, so I wonder how you could have been testing it?

@allisson:

Is what zonatar states correct: Are there no indicators on what SIM the call arrives in call-answer or call-history. Or is there a confusion here.

If there is no proper indicator what SIM is being used at what time then I would have to agree that is a serious draw-back.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zonatar:
I try the rom that you send to me on a private link.

Apkhot_LenovoA660_MIUI_130106+.zip
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cybermaus:
Ok, so much for trusting the download count on dev-host. It really still shows 0

Anyway: then as far as I am concerned, the "MIUI experiment" is over. Thanks for testing, and I'll wait for confirmation, but with no proper Dual SIM UI, it is as far as I am concerned not really suited for a Dual SIM phone.

Edit: Someone else confirmed: Nice looking ROM, but bad Dual SIM management. I guess there may be a few people who bought the Lenovo as a 'cheap phone' rather then a 'dual phone' who may be happy with this better looking ROM. But not for me, I will stick to the ROW series boring but reliable ROM's. I retract my offer to port it, sorry.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] alissoncg:
Well, in A789, the SIM management is similar to the other ROMs. We can choose easily between SIM1 or SIM2, with the "plus" of assign 3G to any of them.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cybermaus:
Probably not, as I suspect the programs refer to other files and routines in the framework, and there will probably be missing routines. But if you really want to, try this:

Take the A789 ROM, unpack it on your PC, and deodex it, for example using dsixda's kitchen. I believe the MUIU ROM is already deodexed, so you are OK there.

Now you can install copy/replace the stk.apk. I think you best do that with a recovery update.zip, but maybe you can also use rootexplorer or adb if you first put your phone in flightmode.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nayton:
Other ROM.

Hi, I have instaled this ROM in my a789. I liked very much.

I would like to know if you can help me to get the ROM custom for a lenovo a820, because I want to change from a789 to a820.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] alissoncg:
Hi,

If I see any rom to your Phone, I'll let you know.

But now I'm using another very beautiful rom: LewaOS - http://bbs.lewaos.com - and there is full support to A789, not ony a ported bugged version.

Alisson
[Miscellaneous Android Development] faust.deaconu:
how did you install this rom?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] alissoncg:
Hummm... Usual way:

1. Get rom from lewa site;

2. Delete all chinese crapware

3. Edit updater script (delete some lines - don't update recovery)

4. Add googleplay and my personal ringtone

5. Sign ROM

6. Put into phone's sdcard

7. Flash with recovery

Until now, 1-2 months of daily use. This rom it's amazing... No bugs until now. Just fun!

Every saturday we have a new version. Strongly recomended for everyone!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] faust.deaconu:
I strongly want to install it but it seems bit complicated. I tried flashing through recovery but didn t work

. If you can point me some forum/thread where i can learn how to do what you said it would be very useful for me. Thx in advance
[Miscellaneous Android Development] smollah:
How can Install the rom?

I use lenovo A789 rom now how I install it?

How Can I install this ROM?

[MENTION=4621943]alissoncg[/MENTION] , boss I use Lenovo A789 s228 120903 rom.(ICS 4.0.4). I try to install your suggested rom by flash with recovery mode (TWRP) .but its shows failed. . Now how can I install it.

[/B]It is noted that how can you done serial no of 2 (Delete all chinese crapware) , 3 (Edit updater script (delete some lines - don't update recovery))and 5 (Sign ROM) without flash .
[Miscellaneous Android Development] faust.deaconu:
I have flashed your modded zip but stuck on lewa logo. How do i boot in recovery?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] alissoncg:
1. Is really stucked? First boot is pretty much longer then normal boot.

2. Did you wiped both cache and data?

Well, to enter recovery is tricky but very easy when you succeed first time. I'll not write again, as you can find the "howto" in cybermaus' a789 thread here in XDA. Is very very well explained there.

Good luck
[Miscellaneous Android Development] smollah:
How can I make Video Call?

[MENTION=4621943]alissoncg[/MENTION]; I have install your modded Rom. It nice but how can I make 3g video call. I can received 3g video call. Please help me.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] faust.deaconu:
How did you get into recovery? I ve been trying for 2 hours now. Finaly booted into recovery.

Finaly booted and now testing the rom. Very nice work except chinese crapware, chinese speak engine, system notifications in chinese, recent apps doesn t work.

But a lot of other cool features.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] smollah:
How can I make Video Call?

[MENTION=4142091]faust.deaconu[/MENTION]; My mobile was rooted and I am using TWRP recovery.

Can you use 3g video call with this rom? then pls help me.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] faust.deaconu:
I can not see the option for video calls
[Miscellaneous Android Development] smollah:
How can I make Video Call?

[MENTION=4142091]faust.deaconu[/MENTION] ; then how can i make 3g video call?

---------- Post added at 05:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:42 PM ----------

[MENTION=4621943]alissoncg[/MENTION] ; I have install your modded Rom. It nice but how can I make 3g video call. I can received 3g video call. Please help me
[Miscellaneous Android Development] faust.deaconu:
I i think this feature isn t implemented yet. The rom is awsome although i miss recent apps button.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] alissoncg:
Yeap, 3g video call is a thing that very few people use. About last app button, if you long press home button, you can have that function.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] smollah:
Is there any way to use to 3G video Call?

[MENTION=4621943]alissoncg[/MENTION] : I am using modder rom , its cool, Now I want use 3g video call with this rom. Is there any way to use 3g Video call?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] alissoncg:
As I said, no.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] faust.deaconu:
Srry for saying again and again. Very nice features and contact app and messaging app and all rest of them. I found some bugs though. Light sensor is unstable outside, recent apps button doesn t work and i really use this buton, audio drivers are not so sharp. Can someone contact lewa and ask him to open a thread on xda with his beautiful rom?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] alissoncg:
Dude, seriously? Do you want SOMEONE contact lewa do open a thread (e.g. support) HERE?!?! Ridiculous. Three advices:

1. If you want so deady a dedicated recent apps button (instead a super-ultra-easy way to get the very same function, as I said before), install another ROM OR learn android system and language to do it youself OR paid someone to make it.

2. Common sense states that if you want anything from one person (or company) you contact them IN THEIR SITE, not complaining elseware.

3. Please remember that Lewa is a chinese company, with chinese employees, and chinese forums. Chinese guys seems don't like share information in another languages.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] faust.deaconu:
Got it
[Miscellaneous Android Development] faust.deaconu:
Alissoncg i decided to learn android system but till then how can i get the updates for lewaos? I changed recovery with cybermaus s recovery and i still get error when tried to update. Can you pls help with this? Hope i didn t get you mad again.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] alissoncg:
Ok, let's talk ;)

First of all, tell me what exactly you did and what error you got. But before you say, note: updates from lewa did not work. The only way I found to update ROM is downloading full ROM package and flashing it (after repeating the entire process I described). There will be some tricks to do that with partial package, or it is only possible using lewa chinese recovery.

Cheers
[Miscellaneous Android Development] faust.deaconu:
It is the same error i got when i first tried to install lewarom from lewaos site trough TWRP recovery.

It s about some line"ro.bulid.product. A789 icsII" installation aborted
[Miscellaneous Android Development] alissoncg:
All you have to do is follow my instructions. For this particular error you have to edit "updater-script" file, as I wrote.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] faust.deaconu:
Where should i find this particular file?

Alisson i know i might seem stupid but believe me i regret every day because i didn t have the chance to learn about computers and language programing and all other computer related stuff. In this very moment i try to find a way to get highschool books in order to understand how things works, including android operating system, java, html etc.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] alissoncg:
In ROM's flashable zip file. Open it and follow this:

META-INF ==> com ==> google ==> android

In there you will find two files, update-binary and

updater-script

. Unzip and edit it, following my instructions. If you are using Windows, don't use notepad, since it is a unix/linux file and if you do that you'll get another error. I use Notepad++, it's much better and have a lot of tools. Put your edited "updater-script" back to ROM's zip file and so on.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] faust.deaconu:
Thx man. I use ubuntu on my pc. Srry for bothering and thank you for being patient.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] alissoncg:
You are welcome ;)

Good luck :highfive:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] faust.deaconu:
I finaly found recent apps function. Long tap home button.

Btw, alissoncg, do you have this issue, when phone is in the bright sun screen is turning into lowest brightness level and can t see a thing on it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] alissoncg:
I already said that... :)

Perhaps is automatic bright on? If it's off, I never notice... I'm aways in my studio, so I barely see the sunshine. :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] faust.deaconu:
Yes is automatic brightness on. But in powerfull outside light screen should be on highest level of brightness. Perhaps i should set it to max level.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] alissoncg:
Indeed... But I don't have any idea to fix that.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] lubo777:
Thanks for this info! :)
