i have a weird problem, while in call the screen turns off when i hold the phone close to my ear and turns back on when i hold it away from my ear, but if i take a long time in the call like more than 3 or 4 minutes, and i put the phone away from my ears it doesn't turn back on, any help?
[Android General] nomadman:
anyone tried out v1.5 1417_2 yet? Any changes?

---------- Post added at 06:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:55 AM ----------

have you tried manually powering off the lock screen and powering it back on?
[Android General] 7OOKA:
just found out that it wont turn back on automatically in call after the screen timeout, if i set it to 30 seconds the screen wont turn back on in call automatically if i pull the phone away from my ears after 30 seconds, but if i extended the screen timeout to 30 mins it turns back on automatically in call like normal

anyone knows whats happening?
[Android General] nomadman:
I think another user posted the issue. Not sure it's in this thread, but I did read about screen not turning back on during calls. I have mine set to 2min. so I didn't notice the issue. I wonder if the update resolved it?

how to downgrade from 4.4.2 to S119 version.

I install this directly from sowtfware update on phone but have many chinesse program and havent google apps.
[Android General] nomadman:
I was curious about the dif between the official release and the custom rooted ROM. Right off the bat on the official, browsing places in system, force closes system. I have never encountered an official rom that has a root enabler. I ran it without issues, then proceeded to install twrp. The official ROM has A LOT of Chinese apps preinstalled. I'm assuming the ROW will be the same, I don't why they force S H I T apps the rest of the world will never use! Anyway, since I rooted it already, a quick root explorer install and i gutted out all the useless apps. The only thing I haven't been able to figure out is how to remove secureIT without causing residual affects on the system.
[Android General] nakTT:
Mine works just fine with SecureIT freezed.

Sent from my ST26i
[Android General] bluerichblue:
The rooted one is the KitKat version of the old 1419 multilanguage, the main difference other than languages, is the Chinese apps have been stripped and a different camera used !

There are bugs on this rom, camera which has been mentioned ( just swap it with the stock lenovo camera app, it is better anyway ), still Chinese characters in call screen and if anyone needs right to left language, it flips the whole UI back to front ( the toggles show green for off and blank for on ! )

The official rom is now on stable release, i just strip the apps from the zip file before flashing !! If you don't strip the apps there is no room for GAPPS anyway, i also adjust the build prop file to show English / US as default language and time zone as my own, so that on startup it is in English !!

After using it since it was released the other day, i had no issues at all but still odd characters in Chinese but nothing preventing me from understanding or using the phone to its fullest !!

See here for stripping guide: http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-P...ght/true#M5233

With regards to SecureIT, i actually leave it and use it as is without problems, with it removed the antutu scores went down by average of 500 points and with it left installed i am getting nearly 18000 points from the phone !!!

Plus there is the message at the bottom and an android at the top to tell you about security issue if you do remove it, i only wish they had the option to remove notifications, otherwise no issues for me !!!
[Android General] nomadman:
Yes I use your guide as my bible for new installs. :)

I ended up with the official VibeUI ROM. The uploader should have pointed out that there was a root enabler included. Otherwise wouldn't have wasted my time on the pre-rooted ROM LOL

nakTT posted that maybe freezing the SecureIT might work. Honestly, my gf does not install anything without my permission and all that is installed on her phone is GApps. So there has to be a way to disable SecureIT. It's just uses memory and proc the phone can use on other services.
[Android General] LarryMusa:
Freezing SecireIT and other Chinese bloatware apps really works and saves a lot of memory and space on the desktop. Titanium Backup does it extremely fine. But somehow the apps became unfreezed after Titanium has been updated to the latest version.
[Android General] 7OOKA:
then backup and remove
[Android General] nomadman:
Ti backup also takes a lot of memory. I wonder if I can freeze and remove the bloat, then uninstall Ti.
[Android General] nomadman:
Yea so I got carried away and froze too many apps, the phone went to a boot loop. TWRP restore saves the day once again.
[Android General] aariss:
Why u need to uninstall Ti ?

Just freeze the bloat (no need to remove), then restart ur hp.

Ti will nvr resides in ur memory after that unless u re-open it again...
[Android General] bluerichblue:
General info on the new 1419 ST release :

I went back to the 1417 dev version due to the dock bar icons not working most of the time, i would unlock to make a call, click on the phone icon and it would not work, same with messages and contacts icons !!! I even tried to swap icons and use different apps in the dock bar and they do not work !! When i reboot they do work but only once and after that not again !

I actually feel the 1417 version is more stable, everything is working and the graphic performance seems smoother. I am also getting an average of around 18000 on Antutu scores but with the 1419 version it dropped to an average 17200 !! So apart from the issue with the dockbar, the performance is slightly lower too !!

There is actually a DEV version of the 1419 too but so far each time i tried to download it failed ( it is telling me 17 hours to download and fails after 1 mb of data received )

If anyone succeeded with the DEV version1419, can you please upload a mirror !!
[Android General] yiannism01:
I have been using 1419 stable a few days.. nothing strange. I have also the feeling that 1417 was faster, but 1419 scored 17900 in antutu. I didn't experience any problems..
[Android General] bluerichblue:
At first i thought it was something i did wrong but i went back and did exactly the same using my own stripping guide. added gapps booted and exactly the same again !!

i don't even move the default icons in the dock normally ( only for testing this issue ) , i even tested without gapps, just the rom as it is and still with the same issue and lower Antutu scores !!!

I just want to get hold of the DEV 1419 version and see if the problem is still there, i just can't get it to download !!!
[Android General] aariss:
List of apps that I froze... After restart, I got 440mb free memory...
[Android General] yiannism01:
the same here..
[Android General] nomadman:
I had an issue with Lenovo Launcher when it started to get erratic during any touch operation. I went c=and cleared it's cache from setting and I started to settle down. I use Nova Launcher because I really hated the Levovo Launcher and no issue with the dock apps or any icons in the the Drawer.

Where is that dev rom located? because the russian are known to throttle bandwidth if you dont have a RU IP.

Great! Will try it out. Glad you already did your trial and error. Thanks

edit: most of those I already gutted using bluerichblue's guide. I tried to freeze some not in your list and got stuck in a boot loop last time. I think this time i'll only freeze secureit.
[Android General] bluerichblue:
I actually just got hold of it, by pure luck downloaded fine, i will upload it to Google drive and share later !!

It seems to have the same problem with Lenovo launcher also in the dev version, i am getting better scores on Antutu now though. I just stripped out theme center and Lenovo launcher, including Lenovo theme in system / etc folder and anything else attached to them, it does run a lot better, I put KK launcher in priv-apps so it is set to system and it works great !!

The only downside is the theme center in settings menu does not work and force closes settings, I know it's a framework res adjustment but don't know how to do it yet, just figuring out now !!

change lockscreen picture ?

hi everyone,

i installed this rom >>>VIBEUI_V1.5_1417_2_DEV_S650_NK_W_B215<<< from needrom

how can i change the lockscreen picture to a personal?

i think i have to copy the file to a special place to have the possibility to use it for lockscreen?!
[Android General] bluerichblue:
You can do it by changing the default_lock screen_wallpaper.png in system/etc folder, it must be exactly the same size and in png format and change permissions to rw-r-r !!

OR if you are using Lenovo launcher and theme center, put your picture in DOWNLOADS / PICTURES file in phone storage, then go to theme center click on the star at the bottom left, click on wallpaper and when you choose a picture you have 2 spaces at the top to check , just make sure you tick the lockscreen one !!
[Android General] steffsb:
thx now it works.

copy the file to DOWNLOADS / PICTURES

than i can choose it for wallpaper and lockscreen

[Android General] nakTT:

[Android General] nomadman:
Not only the x. There are a handful for devices that support it on the kernel level.
[Android General] nakTT:

Sent from my ST26i
[Android General] nomadman:
The apps use the proximity sensor. It's not really reliable on our device and a hit and miss. Our device goes to deep sleep and proximity is disabled to save battery. On the kernel level, it senses the pressure on the screen. It will not turn on unless you tap twice exactly the same place preventing accidentally unlocking the device.
[Android General] nakTT:
I see. I wonder why proximity sensor based apps has not really work on Lenovo (or perhaps MTK SoC) device as it works 100% almost all the time with my Xperia J.

uncertainty about flash tool buttons

In the guide where it explains how to flash the scatter file it says to hit Download/F8 but in the flash tool it shows that the Download button is F9 and Firmware->Upgrade button is F8.

which one should I click?

also in point 10 it says : "Press F9 and answer YES (Don't press F8)". again , which button should I click?

thank you.
[Android General] baluuu:
Soo you press F8 when flashing scater (repartitioning from ROW to CN partition) and press F9 when flashing recovery that will just write the recovery to the recovery partition
[Android General] hanimlat:
F8/F9

OK,

so just to be certain F8 is "Firmware->Upgrade" and F9 is "Download"?

because if so , than the guide has a mistake.

Porting to S660 possible?

Hello,

and sorry for questioning a little "of topic".

But by studying this article, and comparing the specs of Lenovos S650 and the newer S660, the "only" significant difference is the MT6582 in S650 and the MT6582M in the S660. So would it theoretically be possible to port it to S660 also...?

Thanks in advance
