2. No vibration(don't care about this)

3. Phone doesn't charge the normal way when i shut down, it shows just the Lenovo screen and stays like that!

4. Also the phone doesn't charge while i am using the phone! only when the screen is off!

Others things are great! THE ROM is superb! THANK YOU!

i will be glad if you have some of these fixes, THANKS AGAIN BRO!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JasmanShah:
Im sorry for late replying.

Unfortunately I can't fix the issue because I didn't own the device anymore. But you can try other rom that I had ported CM13 and Slim6. I had use them before I bought a new device(J3).I had uploaded CM13 and Slim6.

As for the issues, I only had experienced the 2nd and 3rd that you mentioned.Sorry for the inconvinience and my incompetent in fixing the issues.

Thanks to you too for using my rom.

any guide to how to install the cm 12.1 rom please? [MENTION=7251950]JasmanShah[/MENTION]
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JasmanShah:
It's easy

1.make sure you have ROW android version and put the custom rom in your phone(but I'm not sure it will be compatible or not with other ROW version that I used).

2. Flash custom recovery. You can use mobileuncle tool if your phone is rooted but remember don't put the recovery.img in any folder if you use this method.

4. Make a backup using TWRP and on PC(you can skip this) just to be cautious.

5. Boot in to TWRP and Wipe data/factory reset.

WARNING THIS WILL WIPE ALL YOUR DATA IN YOUR PHONE.

6. Flash custom rom and gapps. You can download gapps from opengapps(choose pico and arm version of gapps it's the smallest one)

7.Reboot and enjoy your new custom rom.The first boot will take about 5 minutes.

8. If you're stuck in boot animation try wiping cache and dalvik cache.

CM12 on LG G2
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] frugirune:
Hey,

Had tried to upgrade from CM11 2014-08-01 to CM11 2014-12-10 (the version not (!) having the changed partition layout).

Configuration before upgrad was:

CM11 2014-08-01, CWM v6.x

What I did:

-) Used ROM Manager to do Backup of existing ROM -> failed (not enough memory on SD card/internal), tried again after changing ROM Manager settings to write backups onto external SD -> failed again (i.e. didn't even start; extenal SD has ~5GB free, so no space issue there).

-) Then I noticed that suddenly ROM Manager said it was running on v5.x (but I had v6.x installed). Did upgrade to v6.0.5.1. Worked.

-) Then used CWM to boot into recovery and install CM11 build 2014-12-10 (file: cm-11-20141210-UNOFFICIAL-ancora.zip in external SD and MD5 checked to be OK). Then in CWM did the following:

-) install zip from external SD -> started OK but stopped once installing from zip (progress bar did not start to show anything and did not appear even after 30min). Phone did no longer boot (Samsung logo apears then Sampsung Galaxy logo but w/o CyanogenMod logo then black screen...)

-) took battery out, back in and into CWM recovery (still v6.0.5.1)

-) wipe data

-) wipe cache

-) wipe dalvik cache (in advanced)

-) format system

-) format cache

-) mount USB and download the and then downloaded cm-11-20141210-UNOFFICIAL-ancora.zip again onto external SD

-) interestingly, only the external but not (!) the internal/SDcard is visible in Windows explorer ?!?

-) tried again to instal from external SD -> failed again with same issue as stated above.

Please help me getting my Galaxy W back to working order!

Many thanks in advance,

Frugi
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] ilusi0n_:
For what I have read probably you have the wrong recovery. the recovery on the cm11 thread, if I'm not wrong) is not compatible to the version you are trying to install.

Try to flash the last recovery in the thread and the last version of cm11 which is from 23-12.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vladomij91:
Hello everyone,

I have noticed some strange behavior of my s3. I saw that, on battery graph, even when my wifi is turned off for a longer time, it displays as it is on. The other one problem that disturb me is that sometimes, when i read something or play games, back button and menu button lights up, like i touched it. And, ive noticed also, when I turn off and wifi and mobile data, on screen shows up "failure in downloading data" (something like this, ive translated this from my language to english), which (i think)

causes fast battery consumption. Here is the screenshot of battery graph. View attachment 3133323 where you can see wifi usage and that from full battery to 20% it takes only 5 hours (battery is new one). Should i change the rom, kernel etc, or something else? Any suggestion will be good.

P.S. My s3 is rooted and riding on factory sw 4.3.

Thanks to all, and sorry for opening a new thread, found this as best solution.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cucolino:
Hi there.

I recently (2 days ago) ran into issues with my 17 months old Htc One M7. The issue was something a bit different and unusual: First thing was that charging stopped working somewhere between the charge itselt. I noticed that I got reports that "Charging is disabled in USB host mode", even without any cable inserted into micro USB connector. Next thing that was really annoying was that the screen suddenly got orientation changes available even for calls and desktop, including on-the-head rotation (180°), basically it could go in any of the 4 orientations. The most anoying thing however was, the speaker was automatically turned on when call started.

At that time, I still had installed app Dayframe, which supports to run at Car mode, so all I noticed along with the upper issues was the prompt to "Choose which app you want to use to run" dialog every now and then.

After removing Dayframe, stock app started automatically, so I finally knew what was it - it was the CAR MODE!!! -.-

So, this explained a bit where the issue could be, and unfortunatelly, I can confirm that it's my worst fear: the usb connector has gone bad!

Since kernel doesn't support usb charging in otg mode, I couldn't charge my phone anymore - unless it was turned off. So wsaid, It detects otg / car mode randomly - mot of the time, so I ahave quite a big issue hereh

The big problem though is that I have had my phone rooted last year, using TWRP recovery (still have S-ON and stock rom 4.3, all I've done was gain root access in order to run some apps that needed it. Never tweaked the ROM itself...) . Now, since TWRP supports OTG mode, I can't connect my phone to the computer in any way, as, again, the usb connection is dropped as soon as I get into recovery.

One more issue at the moment is that I did the wipe all command, and haven't noticed that I marked "system" as well, so I currently don't have any OS installed at all^^.

Anyway, 3 big questions at the moment are:

1) Is there any way to get TWRP recovery or any other recovery with OTG disabled, so that I could connect it to the computer in order to proceed with unrooting before I send it for repair? I'm willing to donate/pay to someone to mod the TWRP(or any other) and recompile it for me, if that's an option...

2) Is it even possible to install another recovery from the current one, since I can't do ADB...?

Note: I still can get files onto the phone right now (ironic: thanks to the OTG) via my microUSB stick, so I can read zips. The question is, if the install is even possible at all...?

3) Is there any other way / what's your suggestion to do in my case???

I did check the usb connector from the outside and cleared it with a needle and compression, and don't see any corrosion, so have no idea how/why this happened....

Any help is more than appreciated!!

Sorry, but your post makes no sense. First: I already gave TWRP. Second: I don't have OS installed anymore. Third: How would your suggestion help with my case? I'm afraid you misunderstood my problem... :/
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seanie280672:
quite a long post, but I justy have a couple of questions for you, first of all, which version of twrp are you using ?

when your phone is in the bootloader and plugged into the computer, does it say fastbootUSB on the screen or something like fastboot host, are you still able to issue fastboot commands ?

when the phone is in recovery and you plug into the computer, check device manager, see if you can see the phone in their anywhere, ive noticed a lot of people loosing the device in recovery lately, me for one, if it says one with a yellow exclamation mark in device manager then you need to force the driver.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cucolino:
Thank you for your reply. Yeah, I have this thing for writting too much :/

I'm using twrp 2.6.3.0 if I read the version correctly.

When the phone is in the bootloader and plugged into the computer, it says nothing. Same as if I pull the cable out. The computer doesn't even recognize it. Sometimes I can hear the sound of new device connected, but only for a second or so., and this only happens during entering the recovery, not in the bootloader...

With ADB or Fastboot tool, I get no devices connected anytime I try to list them....

Unfortunatelly for me, here it's not the driver issue itself. It used to work with no issues - note that I have the same PC as I used for rooting it in the first place...
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seanie280672:
but then you say the USB otg cable is working from within recovery ?

your recovery is a bit too old for flashing a rom, you really need 2.6.3.3, have you tried a different cable ?

I have seen this issue before, it was an option in a kernel that someone selected by mistake but for a different device, a HTC One SV, just going back 2 years so I cant remember the cure, however as you say your device is seeing the OTG cable and still charging even though it requires you to power off to do it, id say the USB port is fine, you could try flashing a custom rom which will replace the kernel on their now.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cucolino:
Yes. I can see the OTG partition in the recovery present...

Tried a few cables, even took a brand new one out of the packet. It's not the cable issue...

But I can't understand how would I "select an option" in the kernel. Note, that I had stock ROM 4.3 with Sense 5.5, only root access gained, and have this firmware for over a year on now. Not a single app was installed/uninstalled within the last month, nor updated (I do all updates manually, and mostly don't except if I need them...), and this started to happen all of a sudden, out of nowhere.

I've read that someone had this issue (Found only one single thread about similar issue on some other forum, with no further info provided, but the guy described the exact same issues that I have), and that after taking it to the Sprint service, his warranty was revoked as they found corrosion on the usb connector...

Also, if I move a little bit up/down/left/right the cable, every 100 try I did lose the sign of the OTG host present in the system, but as soon as I released it, or took the cable back out, the message reappeared in the notification dialog...

Also, from what I know about OTG, I don't really see if you could be correct with the "usb port is fine" based on the fact that it does see OTG and charge. Note that the only difference between having otg and not having otg is linking the fifth (5th) pin to the ground.

By that, the system detects it as OTG host port instead of regular USB port, and switches charging off (as it redirects the current draw from inputing to outputing into the otg device, my guess is this is to avoid possible drawbacks and to control the actual current that the phone is outputing - otherwise you could damage the battery,...? ), , as well as turns the data pins to read OTG device instead present the phone itself as the device.

From that perspective, I believe that if the usb port is defective in such a way that it triggers the OTG, the charging will work only in powered off mode (as it does), and when powered on disable it as it "sees" otg device...

Do you have different info about OTG and disagree at any point with me? (I'd actually be glad to hear you do, if you do... :( )

The fact is that currently I can't do anything with the PC, as I can't see the phone at all. So, if my recovery is too old to flash rom, can I reflash new recovery from the current one, or do I explicitly need fastboot / adb for doing so?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clsA:
Is your phone Sprint ? 2.6.3.0 was very popular on Sprint.

their are still old roms you can flash with that recovery look for insertcoin-m7-5.0-3 it will work on Sprint
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seanie280672:
you could of flashed a new recovery if you still had a rom on your phone, all I can suggest is that you try and flash an old'ish rom now from your OTG and current recovery.

The reason I think it was the kernel is because of all the strange orientation changes you were getting and the USB host problems, maybe an app messed it up or its just got corrupt or something, the rom has gotta be worth a try.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cucolino:
No. Its Unlocked, if Im not mistaken. (Bought in Central EU, no carrier locked, not Google Play edition,.... ?)

I should go and find an old rom somewhere, I'm sure its there on the net. But what do I gain with it anyway? If its kernel issue for sure, does the rom flash (stock one) reinstall the kernel as well..?

Still though, if I don't get the usb connection back, I guess theres no way to remove the flags and put it back on S-On for repairas, is it...?

Well, I assumed that the orientation "issues" were enabled since the Car dock mode supports that. Was I wrong on this one..?

Note: Only 2 apps on my phone had SU access. File browser (ES file manager), and MyBackupPro. So only these two were actually able to mess with the kernel, if I'm not mistaken..?
