Here you will find the stock KitKat ROW Firmware!

And here is the best CN custom firmware! Stock CN Firmware is full of bloatware!

Now you will decide the way! CN or ROW.

Both of the firmware are flashed with flash tool! Here are the reccomendet flash tool software!

Here is the tutorial by how to install custom firmware and how to root your phone! Use the same flash tool software. Not optional.

which MIUI version for ROW still has Lite Mode?

Hello all,

Currently, I am struggling to find MIUI ROM that still has Lite Mode to be flashed to my father's P780, I have tried MIUI V7 5.8.27 by Wes ROW.zip on this link: http://xdaforums.com/lenovo-p780/development/miui-lenovo-p780-t2976347 but have no luck.

Since I am using unreliable internet connection with limited quota, so i have to wise choosing the correct one now, and to download it one by one will be pain for me personally..

Could you please tell me which one is it?

Many thanks in advance..
[Lenovo P780] stympy:
Hi. The MIUI firmware is in beta state because is ported for this phone. So, you must be careful to choose. My personal opinion is to download and install the last update 5.8.27.

In this case the last release is with the most problem solved.

Can you tell us what is the problem you encounter? Internet problem or firmware problem.

Good luck.

[Lenovo P780] aditya.rizqi:
Hi stympy,

Thanks for your response.

I have no issue at all actually, i am only finding for MIUI rom for P780 which has 'Lite Mode' aka 'Senior Mode'..

I've used such rom before on my Lenovo S860, and it's really helping my father using the phone (simple interface). Now i want to install it on his phone (P780)

Thanks!
[Lenovo P780] anujyadava:
Hi I have tried miui 5.8.6 CN version which had lite mode,though never used it.u can try that but u need to flash it over Chinese kikat ROM only.
[Lenovo P780] aditya.rizqi:
Hi anujydava,

Thanks for the info, then i think i will try miui 5.8.6 ROW first, hopefully it's there as CN version.. It will be a long road to download this ROM due to my internet speed.. :D I will revert for the result later..

Need Guidance

Hi,

I have a Lenovo P780 8gb purchased in India ROW version. I am facing a lot of signal strength problem. Currently i am on stock jelly bean. Could you guys recommend that i install this rom??? And is it that i need to be on kitkat to flash this with TWRP????
[Lenovo P780] stympy:
Hi. First you must be on KITKAT CN based ROM for you, i mean 8 GB ROM with TWRP installed.
[Lenovo P780] yokunal:
So i need to upgrade to kitkat first, then install TWRP, & then flash this rom...?

No alternate rom for jellybean then?

Hi stympy

First of all Thanks a lot for miui 7 for p780(India, Row based) its working fine in my phone but I have 1 question

Today is 2nd day of using miui7 and I got an update from an updator of miui. Should I update it from there? Is it safe?

Looking forward for your reply

Thank you again for the custom rom. :)
[Lenovo P780] stympy:
Hi. Do not update by air (OTA). The update is not for our phone. You will softbrick the phone.

Dear Stympy and all, first of all thanks for the guidances given in this thread. I've managed to root my phone recently. Currently, I'm using Lenovo P780 4GB ROW version. Android 4.4.2 rooted. Bought on September 2013.

Today, I'm planning to try to flash the latest ROM MIUI 5.10.8 ROW, for the first time. I've already have "TWRP_v2.7.1.1_P780_ROW_KK_Corrected" installed from another thread. Below is my plan:

1. Reboot into recovery

2. Wipe cache and dalvik

3. Install the ROM mentioned above from SD card

4. Reboot to installed ROM

Could you please let me know, if there is anything not right to my plan? Is there anything else I should do before reflashing the new ROM? I'm sorry for many questions asked. This will be my first attempt to flash my phone. :D I want to do it right from the first try. Thank you in advance. ;)
[Lenovo P780] stympy:
Hi. Your plan is right ! Nevertheless you must update your recovery from 2.7.1.1 to 2.8.4.0 rev 2.

You will find here your needed recovery.

Small tutorial:

1. download from link above this recovery: openrecovery-twrp-2.8.4.0rev2-p780row.zip. NOT OPTIONAL. :D

2. copy the archive on the root of sd card or internal memory.

3. reboot to TWRP 2.7.1.1.

4. Go to install and select your archive, swipe to install.

5. go to reboot and reboot to recovery.

6. from new installed recovery flash your rom.

7. Good Luck
[Lenovo P780] dobbod:
Hi Stympy, thanks for your guidance. I've managed to flash the MIUI 5.10.8. Yeay! :laugh:

One question, I noticed that this ROM is already rooted. Am I right?
[Lenovo P780] stympy:
yes you are right!
[Lenovo P780] dobbod:
I do not know what happened. I managed to use ROM MIUI 5.10.8 ROW for about 12 hours yesterday. :( Then the phone was shutdown by itself. When I tried to reboot, only the logo of MI - mi.com with "powered with android" appeared at the bottom of the boot screen (if not mistaken).

After a few tries, I fed up. Then I re-installed the same ROM, but it could be used for only a few hours before the same issue happened. Maybe there is something wrong with my phone, or with the ROM?

Now, I'm using another ROM which is MIUI PRO V7 5.9.26 by Wes ROW. Looks okay for now. It's been about 12 hours. :D

Do anyone else having this problem? Please kindly share with me anything that I should know. Thanks.
[Lenovo P780] stympy:
This is interesting....

Never happent to me...

I am using CN rom. I use it for about... dont know now... since it wass released.

Same problem with MIUI 5.10.15

I flashed for the first time before two months. I flashed miui from the same thread. But i had two issues 1. SD card shown as internal storage and internal storage not shown at all. 2. Buttons backlight couldn't be switched off.

Now i flashed 5.10.15 ROW in the hope that these issues would've been resolved. But even in this update the SD card is shown as internal storage and internal storage is not accessible. The button blacklight issue has been resolved though

I absolutely love this flash. It's beautiful. It's smooth. It's slick.

But the one issue of storage is not allowing me to use this as my regular ROM.

Please tell me the fix so that i can enjoy this permanently.

Headphones

I've successfully flashed miui 2.10.22 cn version. And have been using it for a week.

Absolutely loving the experience.

I have one problem. Sometimes when i have headset on, the phone notifications sound as if there's no headset i.e very loud inside my headset.

It's very difficult. I watch a video and if i get a call my eardrums burst.

Is there a patch for this?

No there is no patch for that. Try to update your MIUI to 5.10.29 and see if this happent again.

How to update to 5.10.29 without losing data? Without having to set up phone again?
[Lenovo P780] stympy:
Hi. Look what i use and do:

1. I install Titanium Backup and Super Backup.

2. I do a full backup at my installed app and accounts with TitaniumBackup, not system app and then my call history, contacts and sms with Super Backup. After that i reboot in TWRP and do a full backup witch i delete after all goes well with the new system.

3. After flash i restore all and voila, after half an hour i have all back.

4. Settings in your new system you must do by hand.

Which version is fast, stable and less bloated

Hi

Which of these MIUI versions in your opinion works fast (including the screen transitions), stable and less bloated (which makes it look like Native MIUI)?

Has anyone tested MIUI V.7 5.11.15?

Regards

GxxA
[Lenovo P780] stympy:
I have tested and found some bugs! I reverted back to 5.10.29.

For the first bug the one with buttons ilumination: you must change one line in build.prop: from ro.product.device=HM2013023 to ro.product.device=lcsh92_wet_jb9, and the option will appear in settings/additional settings/buttons/button lights duration...

For the seccond bug the one in that some app icons from the start page on reboot are moved automaticaly on seccond or third page still asking. Hope developers are telling me something.

Screen record

How to screen record in this custom rom? I mean how to record screen cast in 5.10.22…?
[Lenovo P780] dobbod:
I have tried to use MIUI V7 5.10.29 ROW, but it stuck at locale after reboot. Once rebooted, selected English as the language, then screen moved to locale, only 'China' is listed. I guess there should be other countries listed. Once locale China is selected, choose Next, then phone will reboot and shown boot logo of Lenovo and Mi.Com - non stop. :(

Now, I'm using the earlier stable ROM which is MIUI PRO V7 5.9.26 by Wes ROW. Anyone else facing this problem?
[Lenovo P780] dobbod:
Hi all. I like this ROM very much and I need help.

I've tried to install a few ROW ROMs that were released after "MIUI PRO V7 5.9.26 by Wes ROW" but I'm facing a bootloop.

The flash/install went well, I can reboot, istalled my apps using Titanium Backup, but after a few reboots, it stuck at bootloop.

I don't have other choice. I then wiped cache, dalvik etc and flashed the stable ROM above. Please give me some hints and tips. Thanks.

BTW, I'm using P780 4GB ROW version.

Never incountered this kind of error !

Yes, it's strange Stympy. For MIUI, I've tried to flash about 4 or 5 different ROMs. I can only use until now the one that mentioned above. The other ROMs giving me bootloop, included the one that you put in the Google Drive mirror 5 on 20th Nov.

Phone not detected in computer

Hi. I flashed MIUI v5.10.15 and have been using it for a month happily. It's so much better than my sticky slow buggy stock rom

Dear all, I have flashed to the latest ROM - MIUIv7 5.11.26 Full ST ROW and I need help as below.

1. The names in the list of contacts are shown wrongly now. In earlier version of ROMs, the names are listed correctly. Example, the contact name Mr. John Travolta is shown as it is earlier, but now it is shown as John Mr. Travolta. This change of names has messed the names shown in my apps such as WhatsApp. I've tried to configure the setting in the display options, it's not helped. How to get the default list of names again?

2. There is now a calendar shown in notification shade, above of other notifications of other apps. I can't find a way to disable/remove it.

Please kindly let me know if you know tips and tricks to handle those 2 problems of mine. Thank you in advance.

Question on MIUI V7 5.12.31 by Usnkreal

Hi! Just want to ask for help regarding MIUI V7 5.12.31 by Usnkreal. I perform a full wipe of dalvik, cache, internal, system and data and then I flashed the MIUI V7 5.12.31 by Usnkreal. One thing I noticed was that after I flash was that my phone is already not rooted. Any ideas on how I can root again? I tried using Framaroot but no luck.

Also, just want to ask if I do need to flash all the files (3 zip files and 1 APK file) on the path below or just the 'Addon_5.12.31' zip file:

'https://drive.google.com/folderview?...FE&usp=sharing'

Thank you in advance for those who will answer my query. :)
[Lenovo P780] stympy:
Hi. Your MIUI is rooted. You will find the default MIUI manager in Security/Permitions/Root access. From therevyou will manage root access.

Addons are optional filles. You can install if you want them. Dont forget to do a full backup. Just in case...

Good luck.
[Lenovo P780] kishanjith:
You can flash update supersu 2.46 zip file after flashing miui .
[Lenovo P780] sniperzone24:
Hi stympy!

Apologies for the late response. After I followed your guide, I was able to find out that it is already rooted. You just need to install an app that requires root access to make it visible on the menu. Again thank you for your assistance! :)
[Lenovo P780] pakarbu:
Then what happened to default root manager?does it still appear on security? Any conflict on rooted app? Tq ya.

May i asked what differents between both of them?
[Lenovo P780] stympy:
1. Usnkreal - got OTA - Andrey dont have OTA(IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENT AREA)

2. Usnkreal is clean MIUI - Andrey uses some patches by default(like WSM Tools plugins)

3. Usnkreal uses most of MIUI options like default Root Manager - Andrey use SuperUser

4. Usnkreal dont have the option with back buttons light - Allways on - Andrey have option back buttons light - Allways on

5. Usnkreal weather widget dont find small towns - Andrey weather widget finds small towns

6. UNKREAL MIUI is developed by the russian developers team - Andrey is developed by turks developers team for other phones

7. Usnkreal MIUI dont have in Additional settings tab icons on options - Andrey have...

8. probably more... but dont checked yet... :D
