hi, forgot something... you also need to download the xposed apk, from the xda xposed thread. the correct one for our phone is XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk.

So the order of things:

1. flash TWRP recovery if you don't have it already.

2. in recovery, install the xposed sdk zip file.

3. after reboot (which takes a while the first time, in upgrading phase) install the xposed installer apk.

4. install the "Fix Lollipop Memory Leak" apk from google play, the link you mentionned above, it should be the same.

5. in xposed manager app, enable the module

6. reboot and enjoy!

I don't know what happen but lemme tell you, I successfully installed TWRP on my phone, succesfully open TWRP but I didn't do anything just try to boot to recovery and then boot my phone to normal.. then when I'm trying to boot again to recovery to install the needed framework, it return to old previous lenovo recovery, now I'm lost.. Do I need to do it again everytime I want to boot to TWRP? :confused:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SO69:
What you have to do is this,

Flash again the TWRP.

Disconnect the phone from the PC.

DON'T TURN IT ON.

Press together volume up + volume down + power button.

Keep them pressed until you feel the vibration.

Release the power button but keep the volume up and down pressed.

After a while the phone will turn on in TWRP.

It is necessary to do this procedure when you flash TWRP in order not to change to Lenovo's recovery and you don't have to do it again.

After that you gen get into TWRP in the normal way.

May I ask what other modules you used in your phone to make it perform better? You used custom rom, any suggestion?

One more thing I rooted my device, can you please tell me what unwanted apps I can delete, thanks..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xshad3:
Sure :)

You can remove all programs you don't want. But before remove any of them first "force stop" them then you can use titanium backup.

I've removed almost all Google apps without play games, market, maps, Google+ and drive.

Remember, Don't remove Lenovo weather app because it's connected with clock and alarm. If you remove it you will get errors and you will need to re-flash your device.

You can remove lenovo file browser, mail, shareit, cloneit and syncit.

For xposed framework you can install 3C Toolbox, GravityBox. Both are for customizing Android.

Solution - Change USB-port and transfer the SP Flash Tool to the root of the C: drive

Also there is an option in the file download agent no information about the CPU / flash. Solution - upgrade flashers.

The problem could be hardware, such as the failed flash memory.

For sure is a mtk preloaded drivers problem, it's pretty hard to solve the problem without the right drivers. Search for MTK 6596 preloaded drivers. But you have to uninstall the wrong drivers in order to install the right one.

In my case, I solve the similar problem with drivers using this: http://www.4shared.com/zip/4xPX0XAiba/ADB_VCOM_PdaNetA4170.htm

I am hoping someone can shed some light. I have gotten to step 4 and am stuck. I have successfully downloaded the AP recovery image (X2-AP_ROW_S223 from Needrom) to my CU phone but the issue is when I try to boot into recovery mode. I hold down volume up + volume down + power until it vibrates. I release the power button and hold the two volume buttons and it just gets stuck in a boot loop where it doesn't enter recovery mode. The same happens if I hold all three buttons too. If I release the buttons it boots as per normal.

If I download the original CU recovery image again I can boot to recovery mode with no issues but I also get no option to back up my NVRAM partition.

I am currently using VIBEUI_V2.0_11443_5.5.1_ST_X2-CU that is a modified stock version that the phone came with. My aim an AP version of Lollipop onto my phone. Any idea on what I might be doing wrong or an idea of what I can do? (I am gradually learning what all this stuff does but am still a bit of a scrub.)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SO69:
If your phone works with a CU rom you can't install an AP TWRP recovery.

You need to find the CU TWRP recovery img.

Or better install an AP rom first and then the AP recovery you are trying to install now.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slash0r:
Thanks for that. The step did seem slightly odd to me or perhaps I was reading the instructions wrong. From what I understand the change from CU to AP can mess with the NVRAM partition which means I would want to back the CU partition before I install the AP ROM first. Am I worrying about that because it seems way simpler right now just to install the AP ROM and do as you suggest.

I really need advise and help about my Lenovo vibe x2 EU

This model appears to have sensitivity issue that makes single touch to interpret as 2 or 3 touches for every some of touches. It is most annoying in typing where characters get repeated often when I went to the agent to fix it he told me all vibe x2 are like that and it is not a problem, I spend 30 minutes try to convince him it is a problem but he does not and he tell me he can not do anything about it, lenovo only control its software that make this sensitive issue.!!

You can find many complaining here in the lenovo forum (search vibe x2 typing issue) but Lenovo does not care even to replay or promise any update.

Is it true all vibe x2 has repeat character when typing ? is there any way to reduce the sensitivity or fix this problem some how ?

Must be Mr Baralabgi who normally asked payment for his modified ROM.Most other modders seldom ask for payment ( myself included) .Please use the SPFlashTool that is included with the ROM because , you don't simply use any SOTool version because if you notice the " scatter.txt" file are not actually generic ,in it there are such reference to "project: hq8382_TB_b2b_1" which belongs to a specific model , although this is an MT6582/8382 compatible SPFlashTool but this FlashTool will not be able to flash another MT6582 device with the accompanying "MT6582" scatter. e.g on another MT6582 the " project : lcsh82_wet_jb5" no matter what version SPFlash you use ( as an example on this 2 MT6582) checked the scatter file for " project" statement before blindly using it as with some users who ask " I need MT6582 scatter file" request.

To get drivers " loaded" properly just before flashing if you are using SPFlashTool by MTK version "5.1x.yz. " please choose option " with battery" NOT auto ( default) ,switch off phone >>run SPFlash Tool on PC >>select scatter>> download>> connect USB cable to PC and ( phone in OFF condition) and if there is any incorrectly/ missing drivers Win will install them >> if Win successfully installs drivers usually VCOM last >> then the SP FlashTool will start flashing process. Remember during all this time DO NOT DETACH USB Cable while driver is being installed and the phone should remain in OFF condition throughout.This is the correct way of starting MTK flashing process , Drivers that are floating around the web for your MTK SiC will do its job alrite without having to hunt for the " latest" drivers , it is common sense to use a newer driver version but not critical.

You can delete lines started with getprop.

I've write down S223 to S224 check current version scripts.

S224 to S228 have similar entry, just base version is different.

Simple, update script checks, does your rom is available to update with correct base version. Also prevents to reupdate in same version.

Still, to update corretly, your rom should be stock as posible.

Rooted devices are not important. Script does not check that part. Root will remain. Still you can install supersu also.

But if you installed exposed framework, update will fail, because of exposed changes some base/important files.

Also i have uploaded files to

getprop("ro.build.fingerprint") == "Lenovo/x2ap/X2-AP:5.0/LRX21M/RX2-AP_S223_150528_ROW.05281732:user/release-keys" ||

EU and AP ota update files are tottaly different. If your rom is eu, you have to use ue ota files.

But still these getprop lines are identical. You have to delete those lines to install ota updates over twrp.

Xposed frameworks installed roms will allways fail to update. Runtime files replace/renamed by xposed.

Return back to stock rom. You can flash only system partition via sp flash tool. Update with ota files. Root and install xposed afterward.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BOPOH'Ok:
As a developer this TWRP, certify to all 100%.

What’s new in 2.8.7.0:

Initial ground work for software drawn keyboard (_that)

Fix handling of wiping internal storage on datamedia devices (xuefer)

Allow DataManager to set and read values from the system properties (xuefer)

Fix crash when taking screenshots on arm64 devices

Fix error message after an ORS script completes (Dees_Troy)

Fix crashes / error when creating encrypted backups (_that, Dees_Troy)

Add system read only option – more details below (Dees_Troy)

Add resize2fs and GUI option to run resize2fs (Dees_Troy)

Fix crash loop caused by empty lines in AOSP recovery command file (_that)

Prevent duplicate page overlays such as multiple lock screens (mdmower)

System read only option: Devices that ship with 5.0 and higher as their initial OS are using block level OTA updates. With this style of OTA update, the update script checks to see if the system partition has ever been mounted read/write. Further, the script also usually runs an SHA sum of the entire system partition to detect if any changes have been made. If any changes have been made, the OTA update will refuse to install. Since not all OEMs and devices have factory images available, we have created a new feature in TWRP that detects if the system partition has ever been mounted read/write. If not, you will be prompted asking if you want TWRP to mount system as read/write. If you choose not to allow TWRP to mount as read/write, TWRP won’t prompt to install SuperSU and TWRP won’t try to patch the stock ROM to prevent TWRP from being replaced by stock recovery. The goal of this option is to hopefully allow the user to make a raw system image backup that they can use to get back to a state where they can take OTA updates again.

resize2fs feature: On some devices like the Nexus 6, the factory images include a userdata image that is the proper size only for the 32GB units. If you flash the factory image to a 64GB Nexus 6, the data partition will appear as if it only has the free space of a 32GB device. Using the resize2fs option, TWRP can resize your data partition to take up the full space available. The resize2fs may also be useful to resize system partitions on devices where custom ROM system images don’t take up the full partition space. Lastly, resize2fs may be useful in some cases to reserve the proper space at the end of a data partition for a full disk encryption key, should your partition be formatted incorrectly for some reason.

This new version also marks our first set of full builds using our new jenkins build server. You can track the progress of builds at https://jenkins.twrp.me and we have taken additional steps to make it easier for device maintainers to step up and submit patches to our gerrit server at https://gerrit.twrp.me to help us keep devices up to date and working.
