It's prolly not the latest because as soon as i connected to the internet an update popped up. But i didn't install it because i've read somewhere (can't remember where) that the update installs the chinesse software version...and we don't want that, do we? :laugh:

Anyways, got the CWM backup... I guess I could upload it somewhere if you guys want it :P What is audi rom based on?

Lucky that you didn't accept the update, it really installs a useless chinese version with no google play etc. I know what I'm talking about, I did it:cyclops:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] feartheanonymity:
So I went ahead and instated the audi based rom, I must admit it is really impressive. I haven't stumbled across anything Chinese yet. It's simple to install just flash through cwm recovery and that's it.

It's smooth and efficient, lots of the bloatware removed but all the good stuff is kept and translated.

cwm backup to ext sd

hello Folks, the CWM recovery version 6.0.3.2 that i have found for my a760 can only save the backup to the internal memory of the phone, saving to the external SD card is not available unfortunately. It would be great though, if this option was available, because the internal memory has a maximum size 1.2 GB, and in case the backup would be greater than this size, the CWM runs into error. Do you know of a CWM recovery for this phone that can save the backup to the external SD? Can be in Chinese too, English is not that important. Thanks

CWM and English ROM for Lenovo a760

Guys, until I get the rom on my phone in a flashable format, I have decided to write a short tutorial on how to flash Audi ROM, made by a Russian user named Lens_Flare.

DISCLAIMER: I am not responsible for whatever happens to your phone, shall this process fail. A fair knowledge of ADB and ROM flashing might be needed before you embark yourself on this perilous journey. Nuclear winter or other extreme effects are on your head, got it?

Now....You will need:

1) Platform Tools (Attached)

2) ADB drivers + CWM Recovery from HERE

4) Audi ROM from HERE

STEPS:

1) On the phone go into Settings -> Developer Options -> check USB Debugging

2) Unpack the Platform Tools attached to this post in a folder of your choosing

3) Follow the tutorial to install CWM Recovery (from the given link... It's for the A706 but the drivers and CWM Recovery are compatible)

4) After you flash CWM, turn on your phone, make sure everything works, then connect it via USB and copy AudiROM.zip on it

5) Turn off the phone, HOLD down BOTH volume button and the power button until it boots into recovery (Don't release the buttons until you see CWM recovery on the screen!)

6) Using the volume buttons, go to Install Zip from SD card -> Choose zip from SD card -> select AudiROM.zip and then select YES to flash, press POWER to select

Reboot!

Congratz! Your phone now has a full english rom, with play store access :)

Credits go to Lens_Flare from lenovo-forums.ru for the ROM and to gr8techie from XDA for CWM and the guide to install it

Hi, How do you rate the phone? I am thinking of buying it off a chinese dealer on ebay who says it will be rooted and gapps compatible. But will probably flash this rom
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] feartheanonymity:
I rate it very well, for the price it is a fantastic device which outperforms many of the current 'named' brands.

The processors maybe last years tech but they certainly pack a punch and I have experienced very little lag when playing intense games.

The resolution is good, not as great as the modern HD LED ones but look at the cost difference!

Memory isn't great, if you are an application hoarder like me you will run out of space very quickly, but if you have a large SD card this isn't a problem.. I'd recommend 16gb minimum.

It's build quality is great, much better than other phones I've had (most recent being the Galaxy Note) this phone feels sturdy and solid to hold.

Haven't used GPS much but the default configuration will need to be edited to your region for more accuracy, many apps can do this in a few seconds, it will also require internet connection for best results.

Sounds quality is okay, if you tweak the EQ then headphone quality is great, loud speaker can be distorted on Max volume.

Touch screen can some times be too sensitive, this may be down to me and my fat fingers pressing wrong thing, hopefully someone will confirm.

Finally the touch screen isn't capacitive, meaning you can operate it without skin contact such as a pen or plastic stylus, This frequently results in various things being pressed whilst in my pocket. But a pattern or pin lock stops it becoming a nuisance.

UI and overall layout is fantastic, it has some very nice eye candy combined with some cool default apps and features.

I would recommend it to anyone wanting a budget smart phone. My honest opinion would rate it a 7 out of 10.

Minor drawback is limited support. But stay tuned to this thread and we can help solve each others problems

EDIT: I'd just like to add that battery life for me is great, I play a lot of games and spend lots of time online and I easily get a full day out of it.

A drawback is that it's not easy to get accessories for the phone, such as spare / extended battery or case and screen protectors. Can anyone recommend a place that sells them? Ebay is hit n miss, some accessories are available but the postage rates from china to UK make it bad value for money.

Thanks

Guys, can you see 1080p .mov videos without lag? :(

I can answer this. I live in Brazil, GPS works as well as the GPS from Galaxy S3 and S4. I tested some days, because I use too much while i'm pedaling, and the loss of signal compared other 2 smartphones is minimal. Accuracy is almost the same too. In sometimes, using the GPS from Lenovo to get the final distance of ride was basically the same than speedometer of the bike, even better than galaxy smartphones. :victory: :good: :cool:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryouza:
touch screen is capacitive ips, and it's major drawback, at least for me... i can use it, but for writing it's not perfect, even with swiftkey keyboard installed i miss some keys when i write sms... comparing it with previous phone, a samsung galaxy scl, i think there is something in touch sesibility, in screen's corners it's bad. i suspect that may depend on a partially bugged software... i've purchased phone from antelife, and it came with an heavily customised rom, with root, google play, apex launcher... and all languages, even if it has chinese in some screens...

I think that flashing lenovo stock rom (the last one, 130828, may solve most bugs,including the buggy screen, but it require a full reset, and a lot of work to have root, market, and all apk working as now.

if i succed, i'll post results and if it's useful, a tiny guide to make this terminal a good one with at least all of lenovo upgrades...

i can't live with root, and market helper, this apps make all apps in the market available for this model, even copilot gps is fully working, and gps is instant, no lags, thaks to qualcomm platform .. mediatek is good for all, except for gps. my thoughs

sorry for my english, it's a mess, and i know it,

---------- Post added at 07:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:37 PM ----------

for those who have downloaded stock rom via pc.

I found a spanish guide to do it...

download latest lenovo official rom, I'm not sure i can post an external link from another forum, i suggest to search google

Rom stock Lenovo A760 0133_130828

first, reset phone, cancel all user data, etc

put rom file (extension is qsb, i don't know what it is, compressed or not, i think it's lenovo standard, maybe) in sd card, in directory

/sdfuse

start phone with power button + vol down, to enter console..

select upgrade from sd..

update phone...

i wil try it as soon as possible

Hi,

Unfortunately, there's no Czech language.

You can find English, Spanish, Bahasa Indonesia, Bahasa Melayu, French, Viet, Russian, Ukrainian, Arab Thai and Chinese.

And it seems that there's a tts problem, I didn't have any settings in my android panel.

When I try to install an app like Ivona, or Svox I have an error because app can't find tts settings....

Good luck!

If someone have the solution about TTS, it will be very appreciable.

in order this rom to work properly you have to go to recovery and install tha gapps and if you want the root.I suppose now that you have the default recovery

you must push the cwm recovery in order to install the gapps.

You will need adb commands : https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/56586895/adb.zip

And replace the above recovery with this one..https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/56586895/A760_SDBackup.zip

Google Play works for me on the latest Chinese ROM (but the first time it started to force close Google Play services and I had to factory reset).

The latest contact manager force closed on every startup so I removed that. And the latest version of the Lenovo Launcher is very crappy, they changed lots of things that is not good, also it has a programmed lag for the launcher button which is very strange (you can see that the button activates by changing color but nothing happens if you don't press it for a long time). But uninstalling the updated launcher for the original launcher it's fast and nice.

Also the "English" version is quite the joke, some programs are entirely or mostly in Chinese. Localization by morelocale2 doesn't work either.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jachol:
Hi Roman

I'm no expert ... this worked for me.

1. On the phone go to Settings/developer options and enable USB debugging

2. Download unzip and install Lenovo A760 drivers, reboot is always a good idea after installation of any drivers.

3. Navigate to the platform - tools folder in ADB (wherever you installed to)

4. Hold down shift, and right click on the platorm - tools folder, and select "Open command window here"

5. Once in the command window type ... ADB devices if your successful you should see your Phone ID displayed (see attachment)

Once you know your phone is recognised you can follow drbrainsols post on page 4.

Hope this helps. ... J.
