[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Willemoes:
Guys, I think we should make a petition at change.org asking for 2 new defy versions.

First, a perfect version (perfect relationship quality/price/size):

4"

Dual-Core 1.2 Ghz

1GB RAM

4GB internal storage

Android 4.2

IP67

8 mpx

NFC

Second a hardcore version (similar to Xperia Z, so this version is not necessary :P)

5"/4.7"

Quad-Core 1-5 Ghz

2GB RAM

8/16GB internal storage

Android 4.2/4.3

IP67

13 mpx

Both with batteries higher than 2200 mAh.

Are you with me?? This would be wonderfull! I would go for the first version as fast as I could.

(If not i think i'll have to go for this Lenovo S750)

Edited the phonenumberutil.smali

re-odex it and push it back

Phone rebooted fine - problem solved.... BUT out of curiosity I de-compiled again the new framework and found out that the whole structure was completely different. How? Why? and the phone works...!

Please help

Ok. Now, I am more of a techie than the average guy and I have not been able to use any of the roms I have found so far.

1. Phone is Lenovo s750 which came rooted from china and has MobileUncle, Root Explorer and Superuser – so I would assume the phone is ALREADY rooted.

2. My aim is simple – get rid of a. The Chinese characters under each call log b. remove chinese characters from the lecalendar c. install google play store d. KEEP ALL features of the telephone working while getting points a&b working

So, is there a way to do this? A Yes or No will be appreciate. If Yes, then I would really appreciate clear instructions as to how to do it. For example, reading the instructions supplied in these posts, is simply not enough, they are confusing, and everyone is positing links of different versions making things uber confusing.

I have downloaded drivers flash tools etc. But it will not port the ROM (maybe because it already was shipped with some other ROM?)

Please, please provide step by step as if for a 5 year old how to achieve the above points and stick on post 1 so everyone can just see it and follow the steps.

Thank you.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thekguy:
You could decompile the apk and probably remove the Chinese characters, but you could adjusts l always use 3rd party alternatives from the play store. For play store installation just get minimal gapps for your android version, manually add apks to respective directories from zip, wipe cache, and it should work

My solution to have Lenovo S750 100% working

HI!

After read the only two threads about this new Smartphone, Here and Here, i've concluded that to have GPS and Calendar working i had to:

1- Go to NeedROM S750 Etotalk FW, download the FW and Flash Tool.

2- Flash the FW with the flash Tool. To start you have to power off the phone and when the flash tool is waiting press Vol UP + Power buttons until it starts to show the colored bars with the flash progress.

3- With this ROM you already have root, calendar is working (install from play store the "Google Calendar") and GPS too.

To put the phone less chinese, with Titanium backup you can remove system apps like the chinese calendar.

I've installed Apex Launcher and someone suggested to replace the contacts manager with "Contacts+" app.

To help fix the GPS i use "GPS Status & Toolbox" (To help fix - Menu - Tools - A-GPS management - Restart and Download)

I Think it's everything you need to have a full 100% working Lenovo S750 in multilanguage.

Regards!

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Todoras:
Hi Guys...

Something I figured out last night...

Did anyone bothered to manually update the contacts and file manager application? Well I did. You just open the app and go to settings-about and upgrade....

Well for the file manager thing I really surprised with the current version and give it a 10. For the contacts its much faster its good but I think that the option of showing the contacts with order you want (first surname in my case) disappeared. Anyway it is much better.

Now something really nice....... another 10...

http://app.lenovo.com/app/12225314.html

This is the original app from lenovo for power management... download it and install it. It is really a must have thing. With nice widgets too...

And another one that I found over here...

http://forum.android.com.pl/f849/app-lenovo-pl-launcher-power-music-ideafriend-calendar-338962/

This is the Lenovo calendar with out any Chinese working fine and also can be updated same as above. However in order this app to work it has to be placed in the system/app and set the permissions.

NOTE - I tried to download the rest of the apps over there but my antivirus just had a party... But not for the calendar. In anyway be careful..

I am uploading these 2 apps for you convenience. Use 7zip to unzip the apps
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crises9000:

---------- Post added at 08:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:15 AM ----------

1) install somethingl like sshdroid and ssh into your S750

2) remount the /system as read/write - mount -o rw,remount /emmc@android /system

3) using vi edit your vold.fstab - its in /system/etc (not vold.conf as i called it!)

4) where you see the text sdcard0 and sdcard1 swap them!

reboot

hi ZiNoM, have finished downloading the kit and custom ROM from the link you posted, followed the instructions until #1f. once the driver is installed and i plugged the phone (turned off) into the usb drive, it tries to install the usb driver, and then says it does not successfully install. i tried it on two separate PCs, and it's the same result. i don't see any signs that the firmware is flashing, and so far i don't think any changes have been made since i turned on the phone after the first attempt to see whether i bricked it or not, and it's running normally. i don't think that the usb driver is supposed to fail installation, so can you please tell me what i'm doing wrong? :crying:

Will installing new ROM delete data?

Hi everyone, there's a new Andrea ROM out (yay!) but before I install it over the older version, I just want to know if this will delete all the data currently on my phone. I know it's always wise to do a back up first, but I just want to know how much data will be gone after installing this new ROM so I know specifically what to back up. Thanks! :D

So I got a bit tired of waiting for responses to my distress call and installed the new ROM anyway... for newbies like me out there, the new ROM won't delete any of your stuff unless you do a wipe/reset before reboot (last two steps of installation instructions).

[Android Apps and Games] sakisds:
Hello everyone!

Yesterday I released my first Android App called Icy Monitor, it helps you monitor your PC using your android device.

Features

Get graphs about your CPU (load, temperature, clock, power), GPU (load, clock, temperature, fan) and system (fans, temperature, voltages).

Customize graph colors to your liking.

Get information about each filesystem and each process running.

Save and monitor multiple computers effortlessly.

Clean, beautiful interface with tablet support.

The app is free, without advertisments and open source!

Downloads

Play Store

Windows Server

Github (for source)

Setup

Download the server application using the link above. Extract all files somewhere and run the application as administrator (otherwise, I am not allowed to read most sensors). An icon should appear at your system tray, right click it and select 'Open Firewall', this will open port 26822 which is used by the app (This only works with Window's Firewall, if you are using something else you must open port 26822 yourself). Now you can connect from the phone app by typing in your computer's IP address followed by ":26822". If you want to access the server through the Internet you will have to setup port forwarding, which is a different procedure for every router so I cannot help you.

If you don't know your IP, open a command line window and write "ipconfig". You should find your IPv4 address there.

More info

For more info, please visit my page or just ask here. Feel free to mail me at any time.

Thanks a lot for trying my app! Any feedback (positive/negative) is extremely appreciated!
