I was able to boot into rom.

But once it started i was getting FC "Voice Command" .

Then i cleared Dalvic Cache.But of no use.

Previously i was on Android 4.4.2 XOLO_Q3000_KK_S007_27052014 Build.

I am using CWM recovery

Avi can you help?
[Xolo Q3000] avi3230:
Ur using cwm 6028???

please try using philz or ctr 2.5

if still wont work flash boot.img and uboot provided with it.
[Xolo Q3000] indigo110:
Yes,I am using CWM V6.0.2.8
[Xolo Q3000] indigo110:
[MENTION=219731]avi[/MENTION] Thanks for the quick reply

I was finally able to boot in to ROM using Phil touch recovery and everything working flawlessly .:good:

As of now i have found one bug, 3 Capacitive Buttons did get light up when screen is off (They are non-functional) and get turned off momentary and if you start screen they light up again (Functional).

PS>Here Functional means i can use them to control the feature.
[Xolo Q3000] avi3230:
U can always hit the thanks button if u really want to thank:p

as for the issue i will see the cause but i never encountered the same issue anytime in any rom.

it may be related to lights for msg/miss call notifications.
[Xolo Q3000] rufus.reynolds:
I faced a similar issue Avi....on the LG G3 Rom...the button lights were still on even when the screen was locked....but then it only happened sometimes....not always....

Review of the ROM

:good: ( Thanks Again [MENTION=219731]avi[/MENTION])

ROM is really awesome ,rock solid and seems to be having good battery life.

APPS

1. Bundled Lenovo Camera is superb and has many interesting feature which were lacking in original default camera app.

2. Lenovo gallery is also nice and we can get 2 GB of cloud space for the photo upload. :)

3. Apollo is default music player app. (Missing DSP plugin)

Root and Ram consumption

As said by [MENTION=219731]avi[/MENTION] its pre-rooted, initial RAM consummation was around 544 MB on first boot.

BUGS

1. Capacitive buttons auto illumination

2. Lenovo Camera is battery drainer- It needs some optimization .

Things haven't tested yet.

1. GPS

2. USB OTG

1. GPS

2. USB OTG[/QUOTE]

Capacitive button auto illumination, is not a bug its a feature, common feature of most cm or aosp roms for the phone which lack notification light. These lights turn on n off if there is missed call or unread message. You can choose it to turn off in settings under notification lights. I prefer no light at all i these buttons, n can be done by gravity box.

GPS & OTG working fine for me...

Some bugs in Lenovo camera... focusing is not proper... especially in macro mode. But features like pano are too good. Editing effects in gallery are also good. But as the app says it will be improved in next update.

Finally thanx a ton to Avi for this amazing ROM.. best of all...

One req Avi can you make a blak/ Dark version of it.. having blacked out apps.(gmail, email, contacts, etc)

Avi,

Running this ROM from the day or was published.. As everyone here says, yet to find a glitch...

Don't what we would be doing without the stuff you cook up :)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I just want to know one thing from all of you here

1. lets say i have a recovery (ctr 2.5 or Philz)

I have JB/kitkat base rom (came with phone or u flashed)

I flashed a JB custom rom (like MIUI, color Os)

Modded it as i like

took a backup in recovery.

Now i want to try a custom kitkat rom (for eg Android L)

Now i went in recovery wipe all flashed android L rom

is everything is working now???

if suppose everything working fine

I modded rom as i like

went in recovery

took backup.

Now i want to go back to JB rom from my previous backup

so i restore that rom

Now everything is working here also or not??

So in simple words I want to test JB/Kitkat rom switching via recovery without flashing base rom with spflash tools.

i.e. a universal recovery for flashing JB and KK custom roms.

If anyone tested this before please comment.

u can comment even if u havnt tried :p (i am gonna try it this weekend)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. If at all the camera not working as reported previously

when u running kitkat and flashed a custom JB rom (here we were using cwm 6028 and not ctr or philz)

as per one post we need to flash uboot.bin and camera will work.

we need to test that also.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3. now what i tested till now

my phone came with stock JB

was using a custom JB rom with ctr 2.5

want to try/test a kitkat rom.

so

i flashed KK via flash tools

flashed philz.

tried that rom

everything is working

i want to switch back to jb rom

so i flash that rom in philz recovery (i havnt took backup which i can restore)

and that JB rom is working without any issues now.

now i will take backup of this JB rom in philz.

wipe data

flash custom kk rom

and see if all working

go back to JB rom with restoring the backup.

will post results.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Made a new PhilZ 6.57.9 based on cwm 6051

will add it soon

by the way i was testing this:o
[Xolo Q3000] baystallion:
Hit the thanks button :) - done

Will try out the stuff you wrote about recovery. But I read somewhere in XDA regarding an app that will maintain states across flashes.. In other words, what you were looking for.. Will try to find that as well

Minor Bugs of Android L rom

Hi avi,

i hav founded the bugs in this rom.

1:- wifi stuck "ON" sumtimes when switch on via notification pannel & need restart to work properly.

2:- unable to see or go in call screen when calling a number from contacts & need restart to work properly.

3:- no proper pure Black color in camera & in over all image viewing screen, it feel like little saturated effects in screen.
[Xolo Q3000] avi3230:
Thanks for ur review.

the issue no 1 &2 are common on mtk6589 chipsets.

i have iris 504q and sometimes it happened to me:p even on custom/stock rom.

for camera try using other camera app and see if ur problems are resolved.
[Xolo Q3000] Icone24:
Well i've tried to flash this ROM in my Bq Aquaris 5.7 and I lost my baseband and imei, even when restoring the backup that I have I couldn't get my imei back, then I flashed stock KK trying to get back imei and once more not worked. After one day without phone I was able to restore my imei through MTK Droid Root and Tools.

How?

1- Although no imei and baseband in my phone I've made a backup of nvram with droid tools (where imei and baseband are stored)

2- It created a .tar file and a .bin file, then I opened .tar file and inside was a folder saying data and inside of data was nvram folder (that has absolutely nothing of course).

3- I went to my backup and inside data.ext4.tar I've found data folder, just needed to find nvram folder inside.

4- copy nvram folder and created a .tar file with the same name of the nvram .tar generated by MTK Droid Tools.

5- replaced the .tar file created by Droid Tools with .tar file created by me with correct nvram and flashed nvram with Droid Tools.

6- Eated a gummy bear for my hard work as consolation prize and got my imei and baseband back ;)

Why I've posted this?

Stays the advise to always made a backup of your nvram, you never know when you can loose your imei and I've seen so many cases like this on XDA that I'll probably create a tutorial in how to restore imei in MTK devices.

Regarding the ROM I really wanted to try it but since the flash procedure went wrong and lost imei I probably will skip it.

Sent from my smooth, Stock KK Rooted, BQ Aquaris 5.7 ;)
[Xolo Q3000] mcd_legend:
had a similar problem on my girlfriend's MMX Canvas A120 (MTK 6582) , spent a full day and night trying to restore it.

tried even droid tools but to no effect

finally had to just resort to stock firmware via flash tools and then restore the imei through AT+ command method

so i'd say that better to keep full rom as backup or download it, just in case
[Xolo Q3000] avi3230:
[MENTION=4761509]Icone24[/MENTION]

which recovery u used to flash the rom thats important.

recovery causes erasing the nvram.

there are plenty of threads for restoring imei on mtk devices.

one of them already posted by me here.:laugh:

U can restore imei simply by following method

just download imei windows.zip attachment

read the readme file inside zip.

U can also make an recovery flash bale file using IMEI_FLASHABLE.zip

just copy MP0B_001 file inside the zip //data/nvram/md/NVRAM/NVD_IMEI/

Even if u using a clone of xolo Q3000 u cant directly flash roms of xolo on ur BQ.

there is kernel difference.

If u want to try xolo roms just flash stock xolo sp tool flash files. (this is already been done by nuno

[MENTION=3825330]mcd_legend[/MENTION]

no need to keep backup of anything except ur imei no. which are written below battery:laugh:

this method is universal for mtk devices.
[Xolo Q3000] Icone24:
Thanks for all the info provided avi, I'll keep this post as a reference for future problems that I might encounter :D

Well for now I'll stay in stock KK, later I'll try a second time to flash this ROM because I simply love this UI, the settings are so awesome, colored :p

EDIT: I want to thank you but it says thanks action deny -.-'

EDIT 2: Thanks done! :D

[MENTION=4790877]avi3230[/MENTION]

normally its not needed but a few people like me are totally dependent on phone for internet, it imei goes corrupt we are done :(

however the method listed is pretty soft, MPOB replacement doesnt work if nvram is lost or Radio is off, as far as i have experienced
[Xolo Q3000] avi3230:
Yeah if ur nvram is corrupt totally ur phone wont boot - its almost like a soft brick.

This imei restore method is useful when u press *#06# in dialpad and u get invalid imei.

So what was ur experience - can u tel in details.
[Xolo Q3000] m0han:
i should've remembered the above.

but, i didn't and i relied upon the following (since it is

more recent

and pertinent since it

was in reply to my specific query

):

i flashed tiktak rom from cwm v6.0.2.8. result: no imei. tried both the above methods. no go. :mad:

although i'd made 2 full nandroid backups before flashing the rom, both don't serve any purpose w.r.t. imei restoring.

everything else restores fine. :laugh: [MENTION=4790877]avi3230[/MENTION], do you have any advice to help me get out of this mess asap?
[Xolo Q3000] ashuchem:
Solved

I've the same problem but now i'm habituated with Invalid IMEI it can be easily solved by IMEI writer which is available on net...if you find any difficulty please let me know i'll share the link as well as method & the files for flashing
[Xolo Q3000] m0han:
invalid link in that post. please check.

edit

: [MENTION=3156584]ashuchem[/MENTION], please share the method, files & link for imei writer that you successfully used. thanks.

[Xolo Q3000] avi3230:
Sir already we discussed this here.

This happens with mtk phone when flashing custom roms.

No one knows the exact reason of loosing imei:(

it happens sometimes not always.

thanks [MENTION=3156584]ashuchem[/MENTION] for the answer.:good::good:
[Xolo Q3000] m0han:
well, i've got my own take on these aspects. i hope you or anyone else won't get me wrong when i put forth my thoughts....

firstly, not all links on that page are valid. i'd posted about that. i hope you'll check them out.

i know you're gonna feel disturbed, but, believe me, losing imei while flashing custom roms across various devices was hitherto unknown to me till i started trying your roms. i'm being honest here. you can check my posts, if you wish to.

next, you haven't chosen to clear the air about flashing custom kk roms

from any recovery

. if you stand by that, i'd suggest that you edit the op of your numerous releases accordingly.

i'd like to think you were busy the whole day; otherwise an earlier response from you was expected, considering the fact that the problem began when one of your custom roms was flashed and imei was lost.

from what i've seen, trying out your roms requires specific (almost rigid) procedures to be followed. i'd love to see your work more easier to deploy. please do something about that, especially since you have a thread dedicated to various recoveries, including the newer twrp.

like i've posted earlier, i'm looking for roms that can run gravitybox and, most importantly, onb app. till date, no one has found time to test it. i guess i should leave it at that.

lastly, i'm not the only one who lost imei while trying to flash your rom. but, let nothing take anything away from the tremendous amount of work you're doing for the xolo q3000 phone community. i wish you well.

thank you ashuchem and avi3230.
[Xolo Q3000] avi3230:
Hello Sir,

I dont feel disturbed dont worry, my profession wont allow me that.:good:

I was busy all day so late for reply, sorry for that.

Firstly if u read my numerous OP, it is clearly mention that

When u use any custom recovery there is chance of losing imei always.

Beside i flash my recovery with philz

rufus with ctr 2.5

sachin with cwm 6.0.2.8

I am in contact with them on whatsapp.

I personally came across imei loss issue on 7th july to be precise when i was trying to get kitkat for the phone when it was not released.

After that i made almost 15-20 roms flashed them on my phone with cwm 6028/philz/ctr 2.5.

but never came across this issue.

Also i tested JB/KK rom switching - but no imei issue till now.

Still as u suggested i will try to make the roms more easier to deploy.

U earlier said ur using clone rom.

If u flashed my rom (which is made for xolo Q3000) after that then this is the reason u got the imei issue.

Thanks for ur suggestions.:good::good:
[Xolo Q3000] chinasa:
Yes i used to use cwm 6.0.2.8 &6.0.3.0.. for flashing.. (my device with kk out of the box) with no issues. Now using philz 6.5.6.2 without issues.
[Xolo Q3000] m0han:
well, in that case, your op should include these lines, imho:

1. these roms are made for use on

xolo q3000 phones

that have

stock rom base

. they could produce issues on

bases of clone devices

. if the latter is your case, you're on your own. :D

2. when you flash these roms from any custom recovery other than the recommended philz one, there is chance of losing imei always. :p

or, edit your op suitably.

edit

: forgot to add: i've flashed quite a few 'clone roms' back and forth many times on my earlier devices. never faced any imei issues. also did not face imei issues when i went to clone from stock on this device. :laugh:

[Xolo Q3000] m0han:
something i'd pm'ed you about sometime back. posting as a mere suggestion...

the build.prop of your custom roms seem bloated and require a bit of cleaning, what say?
[Xolo Q3000] Icone24:
Well but [MENTION=4620757]m0han[/MENTION] you still have no imei on your phone?
[Xolo Q3000] m0han:
managed to get it back, albeit, after a harrowing episode. appreciate your concern. :good:

back on 'the clone rom'. :laugh: doing fine. many thanks. :highfive:
[Xolo Q3000] Icone24:
Yeah I've also had a tough time trying to restore my imei but I also managed to get it back :D Staying on stock rooted and cleaned ROM :P Glad you made it :thumbup:;)
[Xolo Q3000] avi3230:
u got ur imei back - thats great:good::good:

some users also lost their imei on flashing stock rom also.

I found this link and this video for solution.

yes agreed

I got this first time when i was flashing KK official update

[Android General] salilsurendran:
Hello,

I had a Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 2 that had recently developed bootlooping problems and I used USPS to send out to a store. The store called me today and told me that they had received the package but there was no phone inside. I am ready to give up and buy another phone. I liked the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and don't want to pay for any of the latest models. Unfortunately Verizon has discontinued Note 2 and I was wondering as to which phone would come closest to the Note 2 in specs. Most important for me is the 5.5" display. My phone was unlocked and I am not in contract with Verizon so if I find a phone that matches the Note 2 specs I might even switch carriers.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VonAmmo:
So when I go to set a wallpaper from the gallery or google photos it just shows a loading screen forever. Ocassionally it'll crash when I choose to set homescreen wallpaper. I cleared the home and lockscreen cache and data but still no luck except for the crashing and totally resetting my home screen icons and widgets back to stock. :(

Also in google photos I was getting greyed out thumbnails and a loading screen forever but I think I fixed that by clearing cache and data but why did it happen in the first place? So annoying. Still love the phone though. :)

I don't know if trying to flash a rom had anything to do with it even though doing so did nothing. Still on stock rom for some reason. So many questions but i'll stop there.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] mumbles202:
Finally tried gaining s-off with Firewater last night and got the whelp message so figure sunshine is only option. Just a quick question with respect to getting up to date. Should this be the order I proceed in:

1. Sunshine

2. Take OTA to get current firmware/radios

3. Flash TWRP via adb.

4. Install new ROM

Downloaded the new CleanROM last night but might wait a bit before going with it as daily. Oh, and does the OTA just do an update without a full wipe?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] brholt6:
If you're going s-off there's no need to take the OTA...flash TWRP, flash the latest firmware and then flash a new rom and you're good to go. It's best to get in the habit of never taking an OTA.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] mumbles202:
Thanks. Don't think I've ever taken one other than on my work phone, just wasn't sure when I would be changing Rom to one with new base and firmware. Thought there might be some improvements with new radios and firmware until I switched.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] The Stig 04:
You could flipflop 1 and 2 and let the OTA take care of the firmware for you then run sunshine since it works on 4.4.3
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] mumbles202:
Should I uninstall sunshine after running it and gaining s-off?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] The Stig 04:
I've never used sunshine so I couldn't tell you for sure. But I don't think you need it anymore so I don't see the harm in removing it. You don't need it to get root back if you ever lose it, and if you were to lose S-OFF for whatever reason you'd still have to pay $25 regardless of you having it installed or not...so yeah lol
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] mumbles202:
Makes sense. Btw, thought sunshine required root? If Weaksauce doesn't work in 4.4.3 how does sunshine gain root?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] rajesh8991:
Will custom rom works in all countries or they available to all countries. .....unlike official roms
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] mumbles202:
Ok , so plan to run through this tomorrow, just want to triple check I have the steps right(currently on 4.4.2 with Weaksauce)

1. Run Sunshine, obtain s-off

2. Take OTA (I know I could just flash firmware)

3. Flash TWRP via fastboot

4. Reboot into recovery, flash SuperSU

5. Run like this for a few days

6. When ready flash new ROM via TWRP
