Gionee elife e3

Hi. I have a Gionee Elife e3. In my country is rebranded as Allview V1 Viper. I have stock Android 4.4.2 on my phone. I want to root him, i have understand to only root solution is Kingoapp. I will use it, but i have understand to is not exist one good recovery backup solution. I want to use cwm recovery or twrp or philz.

Is ok if i root with Kingo and after that i install this app "rom manager(google play)" as recovery or is not for that? Is compatible? I only want root and custom recovery.

Tell me if i am doing something wrong because if i will block anywere i dont know to make it back.

THX and sorry for my english

Hi guys help me

I have Karbonn A2 it has Android 2.3.6 , 1Ghz processor, 256 mb ram 4" display.

and I have other Karbonn A2+ it has all things like A2

only deference is os it has 4.0.4 ics and I think display is ips.

I desided to upgrade my A2 to ics.

I flashed stock image of A2+ (system.img and boot.img.) to my A2.

when I boot my device it shows white screen, the rom is booted I hear sound but screen is white.

Question :

1-is this problem of kernel (boot.img) ? because

the kernel control the hardware.

or. 2- is this problem with display driver?

please help me thanks in advance:D

Rom manager can only install recovery to a device it knows and has a recovery made for it. On a search I found nothing for recovery for your device so you might have to do without. Of you gain root, you can look into using adb to do a ROM dump to save your ROMs current state?

---------- Post added at 06:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:35 AM ----------

Are you saying you flashed another devices images onto a "similar" device? Just because you think the only difference is the ROM doesn't mean that's the only difference. You're lucky it still boots. I would try to find the factory image for the a2 and flash it back on there.

---------- Post added at 06:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:40 AM ----------

Sounds like you bricked it. Where did you get that image? The name of your zip makes me think it wasn't an original stock image you were trying to flash.

Pros and cons of removing bloatware

Pros - seems fairly obvious, but creating space and reducing resource usage.

Cons - sometimes you can cause problems by removing the wrong stuff. I recommend Freezing bloat first, then delete it if there's no issues for a few days.

You've bricked your phone.

You can't just flash the system img of one phone to another.

To unbrick your phone, you need to look for a compatible ROM and flash it through recovery. Don't forget to wipe cache, dalvik and data before flashing.

It's always good to take a nandroid backup before, but flashing only the kernel shouldn't wipe your data.
[General Questions and Answers] Avtar.Singh:
Hii.... I always wanted to root my phone I finally did this weekend & have CWM +Super User Installed, first thing I tried was to change the fonts with Font Installer *Root* & iFont but these did not change my fonts completely it changed the fonts only for Roboto Regular & Light while the Roboto Bold & other fonts are still the same which I learnt later on through a post that also said if I replace the font file in System\Fonts with the one I want with the same name I could change it which obviously didn't work & my phone won't boot.. I Googled a little more to find out if there is a stock fonts zip (Oh I forgot to mention that before I started playing playing with my phone's fonts I did not take a backup of phone but did take a backup of the complete fonts folder) when I couldn't find a stock fonts zip I downloaded ICS Roboto Standard & JB Roboto Slim zip files from another post & tried to flash the files with no success then I decided to extract the files on my system & replaced the fonts folder with mine(which I took out from my phone itself by mounting the SD Card in recovery mode) leaving rest of the file/folders there only and created a new zip file & flashed it... by now I learnt to wipe partition cache & dalve cache, fixing permission's means and got my phone to boot & restored the fonts to original which I had backed up in iFont afterwards took a backup of the phone & since then I've been trying to change the fonts with the apps but NO SUCCESS every time I try modify the files manually It stops booting & I have reflash the file I created due to which fonts on my phone are not same at all the places(refer to the screenshot attached)

Now Noob Questions :

1. When I restored the fonts from iFonts & backed up my phone, does that mean my phone's stock ROM is backed up ?

2. How do I make that a Flashable ROM (if it still is) ?

3. How do I get my fonts changed the same way it does in Samsung phones ?

(Not a Fan of Samsung but I do really like the idea of fonts)

4. Could you or anyone give a link or file for a LATEST/STABLE/TESTED & of course a better ROM than the one I already have ???

(I just need to be able to change the UI of my phone in any way I want without of course reliable sources now..)

That's Why I've come to XDA, to learn, share if possible & have fun.

That's all for now I guess :)

Great post except we have no clue what your device is to offer any advice.

If you ran a backup in cwm, yes it backed up your current ROM and phone state. When the backup is made it's already in a flashable form that cwm can restore so no need to make it flashable.

Changing fonts internally requires modifying the ROM which I have to guess may be beyond your comfort level at this time. Not to sound insulting, just guessing based on this being your first root.
[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
It says it at the bottom of his post, even though he didn't post it. Noob. ;)

Back to the questions.

1. If you backed it up your phone with iFonts while it was still stock, it is a stock backup with the iFonts apk installed. If you wanted it fully stock, you should have backed it up before installing. But seriously, it doesn't matter.

2. You don't need a flashable ROM, and won't be able to make one out of a backup. Just restore your backup, and that's it. (You do have it saved to your external SD, or on your PC to keep it safe, right?)

3. Google is your friend. Search for it.

4. A better ROM than what? Your stock, or is it a ROM you are running that you forgot to tell us about? Being "better" is subjective. What is the most awesome ever for someone, might be very so so for someone else. This is where it is up to you.

Flash a few custom ROMs and find one that fits what you want. It's really easy to switch from one to the other. Try a few. Find one you love.

NOOB QUESTION - Battery Related

[General Questions and Answers] jdnandroid:
Really basic question - how to load custom ROM

Hi,

I've rooted and loaded a custom ROM on an old phone years ago, but I'm still not sure what exactly is needed to be done to set up the phone to allow this. I can thank the great instructions I had to get me through the process without necessarily knowing what I was doing for success that time. But I think I need a little more help this time, so just a couple of quick questions. I'm not looking for how to do it, just the very simple basics of what is needed.

The 2 phrases i see most often when reading out this in 'to root' and 'unlock bootloader'. I am at least a little familiar with the concept of root, since I actually run Linux at home. But I'm not sure if I actually need to root my phone to replace the ROM with a custom one. So, is rooting needed?

If not, then I am guessing that 'unlocking the bootloader' is necessary. If I am not mistaken, actually installing the new ROM happens by using the bootloader (or some other piece of software that runs _before_ the actual Android OS boots), and unlocking it is necessary to do this. Is this correct?

If neither of these guesses is right, can you point me towards a faq that can help? I have read some of the sticky pages here trying to follow this. But even the ones that are supposed to keep it simple loose me pretty quickly.

Thanks,

Jon

Do the hours really matter? The important part is where your power is getting used. And that's what you get.

You could get the Better Battery Stats app, and that will tell you everything you will ever need to know about what is going on with your battery. I think hours may be included as well? Not sure.

[MENTION=6179253]Celesica[/MENTION], if you would please restate the question, perhaps I might be able to understand it better and answer it. EDIT - Check out [MENTION=4987085]xunholyx[/MENTION]'s reply above [^] for a good answer.

[MENTION=2850409]jdnandroid[/MENTION], both of your assumptions are correct - root access and an unlocked bootloader are necessary for ROM flashing. EDIT - See [MENTION=4987085]xunholyx[/MENTION]'s reply below [v] for more information.

:good:
[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
Yes root is needed to run a custom ROM.

Your bootloader got unlocked before you were able to root. That is the first step. No FAQ needed. This is as basic as it gets.
[General Questions and Answers] Celesica:
[MENTION=4987085]xunholyx[/MENTION] Yes, I have that. I just want to know about this. When you click the battery icon, you will see "22h 28m 13s on battery". Below there says some percentage. Screen 31%, Android System 15%. What does these mean? Does this mean 31% of 22hrs for Screen? How do you convert this to hours?

That's my question. Sometimes I just check battery right away, then turn the screen off rather than analyze stuff on BBS.

31% of 16 hours is 4.96 hours.

31% of 22hrs and 28mins is 6.96466667 hours.

It depends. there is probably an option for battery usage, and time usage. 22 1/2 hours on one charge and still going. Why is this even a relevant question? That is excellent battery life. Unless we are talking about a tablet. And even then if it is in constant use......

22hrs with your 6hrs of on screen time is excellent.

If you really care about what all of the stats mean (if you had really tried better battery stats like you said you did , this conversation would be over) Google it.

Seriously. I'm not here to hold your hand to figure out stuff you can answer yourself with a search.

Thanks for your reply though, I wasn't expecting one.

I have the OnePlus One with Cyanogenmod 11. In the Themes Showcase app, I have seen multiple themes (such as Ltimized) showing off 7 shortcuts at the bottom (e.g. calls, messages, the ones that are always at the bottom on the homescreens). I only have 5 shortcuts and my homescreen does not allow me to drag any additional ones into the bottom row. With a screen this big, you would think it allowed more. Is there any way around this?

P.S. What I really want is to use the space on my screen more effectively. As shown in the screenshots of the Ltimized theme, the settings screen displays more than half of all buttons within the frame, which means a minimal need for scrolling. Thanks for the help!
[General Questions and Answers] MotoDefier:
I don't know for sure about your ROM, however the ROM I am running is a CM Variant so it should be pretty similar, go into your system settings, and take a look around for the dock bar or home bar, its been a while since I had to deal with it since I backup my launcher settings once I have them set. There should be an option to change the number of apps allowed on the bar, if not you can download nova launcher as I know the settings are definitely there. Sorry for the generalization, I am at work and haven't been active in the forums for a while, I've been working on learning java and app development, not much time for anything else. Hope that helps, you should also be able to specify columns and rows for the home screen and the app drawer, this will as you say "manage the space" on that giant screen you have. If those options are not in your launcher, I would suggest downloading nova launcher and if you like it definitely buy the pro version, those guys have obviously worked really hard to make it an awesome one, so many options! Again hope this general info helps.

Got an issue maybe someone can help me with, it's really got me stumped and puzzled.

Phone: SPH-L720T sprint Samsung s4 - rooted - ng5 latest update.

Problem:

Anything above android 4.4.2 , that includes both 4.4.3 and 4.4.4. Any thing on that version of android my GPS just does not work. I show no satellites visible at all, not even one. This is of course aosp type roms., I've tested multiple of each, same result.

I cannot flash back my bootloader version so its stuck in the latest ng5, but I can and have tried flashing to nc6 modem with no luck, as well as different kernels.

Solution: no clue as of yet that's why I'm here.

So in curious does anyone have any clue why GPS just doesn't work on anything higher than 4.4.2 android? It works flawless on 4.4.2 but above that it just doesn't work at all. The rest of the ROM works just not GPS.
