So replacing the framework-res.apk with the attachment will incude the calling option, right? I plan to flash this firmware because I want to have the SuperSU as my root tool rather than the Chinese I have now. Though I cannot find any flaw for this Chinese ROM I currently have.

Here is the link by the way

lenovo-forums.ru/files/file/524-rom-s5000-a422-004-089-140324-ww-sms/
[Thinkpad Tablet General] carlozzzz:
Yes try to flash the stock ROM then update it, root permission and replace the file in /system /framework with mine . Do a backup first !
[Thinkpad Tablet General] jayayuyang:
:good::good: Thanks a lot man! I am downloading now the stock firmware of my S5000 and try your way. I hope I can get it (cross finger). I will let you know. :):)
[Thinkpad Tablet General] jayayuyang:
UPDATE: I've just tried out your suggestion and I got it successfully in less than 30 minutes, means it is so easy and lot easier than installing the Chinese ROM plus I got now the SuperSU root tool! Thanks a lot man!!
[Thinkpad Tablet General] carlozzzz:
Does it works everything OK?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] jayayuyang:
I think it is perfect..The only issue I see as of now is the the push notification(s) of Facebook that is not coming in.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] carlozzzz:
I haven 't founded problems , the only thing I've seen is that something appear in English ,but only little things like the power off menu.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] omar adam:
i see new way to get call , can you write it down in steps :good:
[Thinkpad Tablet General] carlozzzz:
this is a very simple and fast way to get the call option with the stock rom on your lenovo s5000 tablet. :laugh:

do this at your own risk!

requirements:

stock lenovo s5000 rom. if you have not, you can download it from here: http://lenovo-forums.ru/files/file/524-rom-s5000-a422-004-089-140324-ww-sms/ and update by OTA update.

how to do:

1. get root permission using framaroot ( http://xdaforums.com/apps/framaroot/root-framaroot-one-click-apk-to-root-t2130276 ) , you have just to install this app and click on Barahir exploit.

2. Do a backup of your device !!

3. put the file framework-res.apk in your device's memory (the file is in the attachment)

4. with a root file Explorer copy that file in the directory /system/framework replacing the file already existing (cut and paste)

5. probably your device will stops to work. If it happens wait for a minute and then reboot it holding for a few seconds the three lateral buttons, if it don't happens reboot it normally.

when your device turns on you should see the dialer app :good: :good:

sorry for my bad english

Sorry to interrupt this thread.

I'm just curious how to do a Screenshot in this device. Because I cant find it in the setting menu etc.

Thx
[Thinkpad Tablet General] angelshie:
....can you share a separate download link for the firmware, need to registed

....cannot understand the site

....any mirror link will be appreciated.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] angelshie:
...Calling function enabled :good:

...SRoot is chinese so its guessing game what to press, but rooted successfully :cyclops:

...Gapps push manually as instruction in post#11 :highfive:
[Thinkpad Tablet General] jayayuyang:
There is an easier way to enable the call option of S5000 which was discussed in the previous posts. You will be having the SuperSU tool instead of the Chinese one. And GApps will be installed automatically.

Press (and hold about 2 seconds) the VOLUME DOWN button and POWER button at the same time.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] angelshie:
...yes done this one, i have downloaded the stock rom and flashed.

...rooted with framawork, select barahair and wait..reboot

...replace framework-res.apk, then device hangs but no worries.

...Press VOLUME UP +VOLUME DOWN button and POWER button at the same time until option appears. Press Power Button to enter recovery. Select System Reboot, press Power again and then Press Volume UP. Done

..DONE in less than 10 mins with a big smile "CALL FUNCTION ENABLED" :D:highfive:
[Thinkpad Tablet General] omar adam:
hi friend

can you tell me how did you replace framework-res.apk ,by delete it or just past new one
[Thinkpad Tablet General] angelshie:
...with root explorer, back up first stock sms framework-res.apk and save

...then copy copy paste, device hangs

...press the combo, :highfive:
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Elm3alem:
I've just updated the Chinese rom to 4.4.2, it was OTA ?, THE ISSUE is that i lost the root & Gapps, so can i root with the same app, and plus to that i need Gapps for kitkat as the one in here was for jelly bean..

Wait ur kind replay
[Thinkpad Tablet General] jayayuyang:
I don't know if that will work as I stay away from this update until I find legit root for this version. Why don't you try and let us know. Give a try also for the Towelroot by Geohot.

By the way, are there any improvements for this firmware version? I read some bad comments regarding this firmware that makes their S5000 lag and slow. https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Idea-A...ag-slow-system-wide-don-t-update/td-p/1605286

[Thinkpad Tablet General] jayayuyang:
What I have is s5000_a442_102_081_140609_WW_SMS. This is the worldwide firmware but I didn't update yet because I might not find a rooting tool for this. Had you rooted yours already?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Elm3alem:
I've tried twice now with sroot, but it didn't work :(
[Thinkpad Tablet General] jayayuyang:
Try Towelroot maybe this will work.

http://towelroot.com/

If you cannot find GApps for your chinese Kitkat ROM, then try to download and flash this worldwide SMS-only rom, http://lenovo-forums.ru/files/file/524-rom-s5000-a422-004-089-140324-ww-sms/. Then make an OTA into Kitkat then root it by Framaroot or Towelroot for you to include the call-feature. But if Framaroot and Towelroot cannot root your Kitkat ROM then revert back to Jellybean and wait for a while til root for the Kitkat is out. Follow post #58 for the installation of call-feature (I dunnow if the attached framework-res.apk in post #58 is compatible with Kitkat)

---------- Post added at 02:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:08 PM ----------

I think Framaroot or Towelroot cannot root your device under the Kitkat hence try Vroot. You may read this: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Idea-A...ossible-to-root-the-S5000/td-p/1489638/page/2.

Is it real the the entire system went laggy on this Kitkat ROM?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] leurne:
I used Vroot to root my lenovo S5000 bought in China... But Im wondering if now I could use a international room in order to have google play and french language...
[Thinkpad Tablet General] jayayuyang:
Try to flash the SMS-only ROM that can be downloaded from my previous post then if you want to update it to Kitkat then you may do it via OTA, there you have original GApps and French language, and maybe you can root by Vroot to replace the framework-res.apk for you to have the call features, you can check post#58 in adding call features. BUT BE WARNED THAT SOME REPORTS THAT THE ENTIRE SYSTEM OF S5000 WILL BECOME LAGGY/SLOW WITH THE KITKAT UPDATE.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] angelshie:
...hi can you extract framework-res.apk from the latest chinese kitkat version .

...share it so that we can try if it will enable call function in kitkat intl version.

...that is after we find out what root method works.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] jayayuyang:
Yes, maybe that framework will work to SMS-only ROM.

[MENTION=4589667]angelshie[/MENTION], did u update to Kitkat already? How is it? Any improvement?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Elm3alem:
I'm not an expert to extract framwork-res out of the KitKat Chinese version, regarding the lagging of the KitKat rom, i got to say that in contrary, it never been that stable or smooth performer unless when updated from jb to KitKat
[Thinkpad Tablet General] jayayuyang:
Using any root file explorer, go to System folder, then Framework, then look for the framework-res.apk. Mount the folder as R/W, then copy and paste it somewhere outside the System folder (in the Document folder perhaps).

Had you managed to root it already? I am afraid you cannot copy the framework-res if you are not rooted.

-uhhmmm. nice to know that Kitkat works fine in your Tab.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] angelshie:
..got OTA update notif already but not yet downloaded at the moment still reading reviews and waiting for a successful root.

..but someone had managed to root using vroot chinese version, then update supersu

..maybe after that framework-res.apk chinese kitkat version shared available i will try kitkat intl.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] jayayuyang:
I hold on updating to Kitkat too, waiting for legit root. But I was thinking to flash the Chinese Kitkat then extract its framework-res then flash back the Int'l JB then I will OTA update it to Kitkat then try Vroot so that I can integrate the framework-res extracted from Chinese Kitkat. But my question is if I fail, is it possible to downgrade to JB?

Ahhh! people cannot be contended! :eek::eek::eek:
[Thinkpad Tablet General] angelshie:
..i guess its always possible using Flash Tool, as long as a ready stock rom is available for flashing.

..i used to play with samsung via odin, and just tried this lenovo and same feeling flashaholic :D:D:D
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Elm3alem:
?? when u succeed in flashing all these, just tell me ur conclusion and which way to root properly and bring a gapps 4.4.2 source plz

---------- Post added at 11:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:19 AM ----------

Sorry for asking this silly question as i already said that I'm not an expert, what's the importance of "framework-res.apk" to anyone? Is there a way to implement Google apps to the Chinese KitKat that may be automated??
[Thinkpad Tablet General] jayayuyang:
As the International firmware has NO call feature (only SMS), the framework-res.apk (that comes from firmware that has call feature) if copied to the system folder of the international firmware, it will give call feature to S5000. The International firmware has original Google Apps already that is why we are asking you to extract the framework-res of your chinese Kitkat and maybe we can try to copy it in our International Kitkat so that we will have Google Apps and call feature as well.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Elm3alem:
That maybe so helpful, so would u try to gave me option to use to root the Chinese KitKat version to get u the framework-res.apk, but i got to ask couple of questions, 1- did the int'l version received KitKat update? 2- can we then root the int'l KitKat version to apply the framework that enables call function and enjoy the Google apps??
[Thinkpad Tablet General] jayayuyang:
I look forward to download and flash the Chinese Kitkat and try to root so that I can get the framework.res of it and apply to Int'l Kitkat. But since you already have, maybe you can try to root by Vroot since that is the only tool that I read in Lenovo forum that can root the Kitkat.

1. As I have an International firmware (that has call-feature because of "modified" framework-res) I already have notification that Kitkat version is available but I didn't download and update yet because maybe I cannot root and apply the framework-res that enables me to have call-feature.

2. I am not sure if there is root tool that can do the job for this International Kitkat for us to enable the call functions. Google Apps are already there in Int'l firmware, whether rooted or not, only the call-feature will be missing.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Elm3alem:
this is the link from lenovo forum that says it help rooting yoga 8 with kitkat that sould work with s5000, but take a look at the below notes, seems bad, man

read it and tell me ur opinion

http://www.patchworkoftips.com/root-lenovo-yoga-8-android-kitkat/3727/

This root method unfortunately doesn’t allow for the activation of SuperUser app. Instead vRoot, which has been automatically installed on your device, handles all root access permissions. I tried all I could to replace the app with SuperUser but failed.

Unfortunately I’m having issues getting Titanium Backup Pro to work with it. The app just stays stuck at Checking for root elevation.

Personally, I’ve decided to go without root access on my device as I don’t trust vRoot enough most especially after reading this article.

http://mobility.ng/star-n9500-a-samsung-galaxy-s4-knock-off-ships-with-spyware/

The Chinese are to be feared. Lol.

I’ll just sit back, relax and wait for a trusted root method from the XDA guys.

P.S: Once you’re rooted the tablet, make sure you install SDFix to fix the SD card issues as I noticed apps are not allowed to write to SD card on Android 4.4. Don’t forget to share this tip by clicking the buttons below. Thanks"

I just did it, i rooted it via Vroot, now give me direction to copy the Framework-res.apk ... plz

and be ready with the source to download the inernational version kitkat to flash and root with vroot that already worked for the chinease and then to try to apply framwork of the chinease with the call option to the internation with the google apps

Hope it work , hurry hurry , so excited :)
[Thinkpad Tablet General] jayayuyang:
Install Root Explorer app then go to System folder then Framework, mount it as R/W, this requires root permission, then copy the framework-res.apk. paste it outside the System folder let say on Document or Download folder. Plug your tab to PC for you to copy and save in your PC and you can upload later. The Int'l version can be downloaded here http://lenovo-forums.ru/files/file/524-rom-s5000-a422-004-089-140324-ww-sms/. This is Jelly Bean but you can update it to Kitkat via OTA.

This is the International firmware version: s5000_a442_102_081_140609_ww_sms but I cannot find any link that can lead me to download and flash so our only option is to flash the Jelly Bean then OTA update it to Kitkat.

Thanks for ur attention, but as u know i'm not quite an expert, in ur suggested source of Gapps said "Installation:

Just flash it through recovery, TWRP or CWM " ??? i do know how to enter into recovery in my SGS4 but i don't know how in S5000 + I don't know TWRP or know how to install using CWM as I'm already didn't manage to apply CWM as i even can't access stock Recovery :fingers-crossed::crying: help plz my friend :confused::(
[Thinkpad Tablet General] jayayuyang:
These are the steps I did when I put Gapps on my Chinese JB rom.

1.Download and extract the GApps rar file.

2. After extracting maybe you can see these:

META-INF, System, install-optional.sh

3. In your device, browse files using any File Explorer supporting Root, Let say "Root Explorer". Mount the "System" folder to RW so that you can copy the files in Step#2.

4. In copying the Files in Step#2, the "Root Explorer" app is very easy in doing these.

4.1 Copy the "META-INF" folder and paste directly to the "System" folder in your device.

4.2 Copy the "install-optional.sh" file and paste directly to the "System" folder in your device.

4.3 Open the folder "System" 5 subfolders namely: add-on, app, etc, framework, lib

4.3.1 Copy the "add-on" folder directly to the "System" folder in your device.

4.3.2 Copy the all the files from "app" folder and paste directly to the existing "app" subfolder in the "System" folder in your device.

4.3.3 Copy the all the files from "etc" folder and paste directly to the existing "etc" subfolder in the "System" folder in your device.

4.3.4 Copy the all the files from "framework" folder and paste directly to the existing "framework" subfolder in the "System" folder in your device.

4.3.5 Copy the all the files from "lib" folder and paste directly to the existing "lib" subfolder in the "System" folder in your device.

5. Reboot your device.
