Best to get used to the new method for KK, rather than try to keep the old ICS functions.

We are very lucky to still have a MENU button, most new phones have had it replaced with the task switching button.

I use Nova launcher which lets you set custom HOME and MENU button actions, you can make them perform a variety of functions.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lin_ux:
Sorry to bring the private message you sent to me in here, but I get quite a few questions asked via private messages that could also help others too if they were put in a public thread. I prefer to keep these questions visible for everyone to read (there is nothing private in them), so no need for me to repeat things in the open forum if something that might be useful to others is discussed...

Hope this doesn't upset you :D

One of the members on Whirlpool (Ozzy forum) posted a clean stock ROM for the L02 model yesterday, so you are lucky!

There is also an OTA update from Vodafone for which a download link has been posted on the thread too, but the guy who created the stock ROM has just done a version which includes the OTA update as well, this saves a lot of hassles of needing to do the sotck one first, then the update afterwards.

So if I were you I'd install the stock ROM + update version, that way you'll get a new kernel and have all the fixes for the device, it doesn't get a lot better than that!

Most of the people in this XDA thread own the L01 model, and by the look of it they haven't got an update like the one just released for our L02 model yet, so we are quite lucky!

You can find a link to the L02 stock ROM with included OTA update here http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=2334900&p=41#r804

I strongly suggest you read the last few pages of that thread before you do anything, everything you need to know about flashing the ROM and update is in there!

*The kind person who created the ROM is named happychappy and I suspect it will make you a very "happy chappy" too if his ROM fixes your problem :D

Your memory is fine :D

I think you are a few years younger than me, so your age is still young! :highfive:

Anyway, let's get back on topic!

There are some useful recovery files in my post above,

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=60001375&postcount=753

they include the latest kernel which was in the Australian Vodafone released OTA update for the L02 model, might be good to try flashing in the future. Should work OK on the L01 model because the L01 runs fine on the L02.

Perhaps you could host these new files in your very helpful Y550 file store...??
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klaidone:
:cool: Yes, of course :) But specify, please, needed those three files - in picture below?

I can put them in a separate folder? They are only for Australian (my dream land) L02, right?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lin_ux:
Yes, those are the 3 files. Maybe you can put them in a folder called "L02_Stock_Recovery" or something like that? What do you think?

The files will probably work OK on the L01 model as well, but nobody has tried yet.

The L01 stock rom works on the L02 model, so I imagine they should be fine if used on the L01.

Thank you!

It is good that we now have a good selection of recovery files to help fix our phones...

OK, I checked with a chinese friend. The menu options are:

1) Backup to external SD

2) [ordinary] restore from external SD

3) delete backup from external SD

4) [advanced] restore from external SD

Lines 5,6,7,8 are just repeats of 1-4.

Note that the backup does NOT go to the external SD card, and I don't know how to change that. Backups go into the 1.6 GB or so of free internal storage.

I think gzip compression must be enabled in CWM settings otherwise the backup image won't fit in the limited space. With this option I made a backup which appeared to work - 700 MB in size. Backup files are in "/data/media/clockworkmod/backup". You will need a file manager with root enabled to see this.
