Yep for now is 5.0.2, we will update to 5.1.1 as soon as we can :)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] JoaoPaulo:
OTA files will came in the next version, after u flash the next build, you can use slimOTA to download and check updates :)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] SacredDeviL666:
thanks buddy for the clarification :D
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ekowanz:
Its been a week using this caf rom... All is fluid and smooth. Using custom kernel chaos
[Nexus 5 Android Development] JoaoPaulo:
Good to know that u enjoy it :)

I am using my stock kernel, but it will be heavily modded from now on. Get ready :p
[Nexus 5 Android Development] sloniupl:
for me install of SlimSabre can't pass through MD5 check :(
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ekowanz:
are you using twrp hammerheadcaf? or maybe just bad download if you cant pass through md5 check
[Nexus 5 Android Development] sloniupl:
Hi ekowanz, i'm using TRWP v2.8.5.2. How can i check if it's CAF compatible?

Or should i flash this as recovery https://dl.twrp.me/hammerheadcaf/ ?

I've downloaded fiel few times to be sure that file is not damaged during the download (from different source servers).
[Nexus 5 Android Development] smalss:
Need to download the 2.8.5.3 caf version. The link you posted is the one.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] JoaoPaulo:
I warned in OP that u need that recovery to flash SlimSaber :)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] sloniupl:
unfortunately still MD5 check error (downloaded few times image again) and using suggested TWRP.

Can someone do a check and compare checksum ot this image from 2015-05-04?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] JoaoPaulo:
U dont need md5check sum, its unnecessary. I dont use it while flashing roms.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] sloniupl:
It's working thanks a lot :D
[Nexus 5 Android Development] JoaoPaulo:
Updates will came once for a week all wednesdays :D

Maybe one more per week but only if weekly build is buggy :)

Cheers

[Nexus 5 Android Development] JoaoPaulo:
Can you send me a logcat?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] lambdaplus:
Google play services stopped

I installed the ROM with mini GAPPS (LP 5.0). But, I'm unable to add google account as I get a message that Google play services stopped.

I tried restarting, reinstalling but no change! Any hints?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] JoaoPaulo:
Lets revive this thread. Something will happen day 27 (my finals are over after that), and as i have a new ssd i finally can make new buidls, not only for this rom but to Chroma Kernel too, stay tuned guys. SlimSaber 5.1.1 is coming ! :)

Cheers
[Nexus 5 Android Development] SteveMurphy:
This is fantastic news! I've been missing SS, and have slowly started coming around to CAF and its benefits, so I'm really looking forward to the re-birth.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] VindalooVidya:
Good news everyone!

Good luck on your finals good sir. I'm sure you're going to smash them!

REALLY looking forward to your 5.1.1 release. My conversion to CAF has been phenominal.

Patch to fix Known Bugs just flash them through recovery

for MiUi V6 5.4.2
[Lenovo P780] stympy:
Did they fixed magnetic lock and unlock of the screen?

Sent from my Lenovo P780
[Lenovo P780] NISHANTJ_2K:
magnetic lock... you mean compass? I didt checked it but I guess there is an patch for the same

Unlock is working fine. can you explain exactly what issue you are asking for
[Lenovo P780] stympy:
Magnetic case. Original case of Lenovo P780 has a small magnet incorporated in to the flip cover. That small magnet activate the magnetic sensor of the phone, when you flip the cover and lock or unlock the screen. You dont have to use the hardware buttons witch is good for the phone. :D

[Lenovo P780] nishadh:
So, i am back on stock ROW_8GB_S228, as i was having network issues with CN Miui. Just to confirm, To flash this one, i do not need to flash any CN stock firmware first, correct? I can directly flash this one on my stock rom??

Thanks for your help.

Did you use this, having any issues with network or other things that were there on the CN miui firmware??
[Lenovo P780] NISHANTJ_2K:
its completely meant for ROW devices. just flash it followed by two patches (#2 post) and you are done, check that about device screen shot thats of my own device just after flash
[Lenovo P780] jd.21:
how's the battery performance. is it way better than official KK s228?
[Lenovo P780] NISHANTJ_2K:
I cant comment on battery performance cause I never used official KK

How is the speed of the ROM & transitions smoothness?

How is it partitioned by default? Does anyone know if it's possible to change it?

Anyone tried on model made after 03.2014? Does camera and everything work?
[Lenovo P780] NISHANTJ_2K:
ROM is smooth enough no lags so far or hang no random reboot

internal partition is not is not visible but I had already made root folder of 5.5GB and internal of 350mb so I don't mind it

and what is the issue on device made after 03.2014? this ROM itself is Kit Kat based
[Lenovo P780] jukooz:
On this forum I saw an opinion that some things (like camera) on most customs ROMs don't work on model made after 03.2014. Didn't have this problem myself yet, but have tried only 2 ROMs.

Does it mean that there is only one system partition? That would be my preference as I use SD card for my files (don't need internal SD at all) and too small system partition was only a problem. I have 4 GB version, so it can be different. It would be great if someone with 4GB version could say how is it partition with this ROM.

Thanks
[Lenovo P780] NISHANTJ_2K:
I think that is for non Kit Kat ROMs, not sure though

whats your device current partition sizes? you can increase the root drive by flashing some file via Flash tool. I did it on my 8gb version ROM some time don't read partition but it wont change partition
[Lenovo P780] jukooz:
My partition sizes are 1gb and 1,5gb at the moment. But it's really great if this ROM doesn't touch partition sizes. I'll make sizes that I want with Aroma on different ROM first and then install this one.

Which of the ROMs from this russian website do you use? There are three - made by evg0672, saxyuzhny and usnkreal (at least that's how Google Translate calls them :) - all at 5.4.10 now). Do you know if there are any differences or if any one is any better than the others?

Can you update it without loosing data and anything - ie update you 5.4.3 to one of those 5.4.10?
[Lenovo P780] NISHANTJ_2K:
this rom is of usnkreal

and yes this rom didnt touched the partition
[Lenovo P780] jd.21:
first time am trying to install a custom ROM in my p780. before i used to use only official roms like JB, KK, VIBEUI x.x.

my bad luck, i can't install any of these custom roms(miui, slx, alice project, xperia z3, color os 2.x, etc.,). to install acustom rom am trying for three days continuously changing and changing the roms and recoveries also(carliv touch 2.2, twrp 2.6.3.0, 2.7.1.0, 2.7.1.1, 2.8.4.0, etc., and cwm).

all failed till now not succeeded......

whenever i try to install any roms from any recovery i got one or two of these errors,

symlink some symlinks failed,

status 7

E:Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/xxxxxx.zip'

Error flashing zip '/sdcard/xxxxxxxx.zip'

e: unable to mount '/emmc'

anyone know any solution?. what's the root cause of these errors?. kindly do some needful. now am really frustrated about this phone. tried and tried in so many ways still going but not success.

how you all installing custom roms without any errors?. i can install only the official roms through any recoveries. even i installed CN based roms via flashtool before installing these custom roms but still the same errors.

my phone is 8gb manufactured date march 2014.
[Lenovo P780] NISHANTJ_2K:
why are you installing diffrent recoveries?

reply with current recovery and rom
[Lenovo P780] jd.21:
coz, while searching about these errors in web someone recommend to change the recovery also to install custom roms in other forums. so only tried with other recoveries for installing the same roms one by one.

current recovery - twrp v2.7.1.1

rom - official stock KK s228 rooted.
[Lenovo P780] NISHANTJ_2K:
try flashing this recovery from mobile uncle tool
[Lenovo P780] Supermatt01:
Not working

I installed this rom last night but it's not working right. The power button wont turn on or off the device so I have to reset it every time it sleeps. The play store won't work without wifi.

Edit: I fixed it. I had to reinstall the ROM.

Now I'm trying to figure out how to rename folders and how to download from xposed without wifi.
[Lenovo P780] NISHANTJ_2K:
I am using it right now, try to do a fresh install
[Lenovo P780] jd.21:
thanq for the recovery. now i can only flash this miui6. while trying other roms still i get this error - e: unable to mount '/emmc'. i don't know why this error comes in all recoveries. while trying to mount internal memory is not possible in any recovery and the file filesystem is shown as vfat and the size is zero mb.

is the internal memory filesystem is in correct format or have to change the format?.
[Lenovo P780] NISHANTJ_2K:
You can refer HERE

backup your data first
[Lenovo P780] stympy:
Do not touch your partitions. The recovery has a problem. Your system is CN based or ROW?

Sent from my Lenovo P780
[Lenovo P780] jd.21:
ROW based.

only the latest miui 6 v5.4.10 i can install. other than this any custom roms cannot install. i don't know why am getting this error in every custom roms

E:Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/xxxxxx.zip'

Error flashing zip '/sdcard/xxxxxxxx.zip'

---------- Post added at 12:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:08 AM ----------

i think these errors are with only recoveries. is there any perfect recovery for ROW P780 8GB manufactured after march 2014. do the needful.
[Lenovo P780] NISHANTJ_2K:
can you post links of the ROM's you are trying to install
[Lenovo P780] Supermatt01:
I use TWRP 2.7.1.1. It works well, but over the air updates don't install using this recovery. You could try to reflash back to s 124 using the phone flashing tool. I have fixed phone errors that way before. I have noticed this kind of error after wiping the preload partition in recovery mode.
[Lenovo P780] jd.21:
these are the roms i tried till now. but, none of them can't install or worked for me. as i already mentioned in my previous posts that whenever i try to install custom roms i get all those errors(1 or 2 or combined)

---------- Post added at 11:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:02 PM ----------

while wiping in any recovery i can't see preload to wipe.
[Lenovo P780] NISHANTJ_2K:
This one is for S920 not P780 and the one I found for P780 was for CN version

These are for CN version

for this I dont know what went wrong for you

These are based on JB (you can try installing JB ROW original ROM then try this ROM)

pre load is a file which is used to define the partition configuration but it is used in SP Flash tool not in recoveries. both are qite diffrent
[Lenovo P780] jd.21:
HOOORRRAYYYY........ now my problem solved.

thanq you all guys(nishantj, stympy, supermatt) for help and suggestions.

yesterday i tried again to install these custom roms but before installation i tried a way as suggested by a member in another forum,

steps followed yesterday before installation,

in twrp 2.7.1.1 wiped everything one by one including preload for 3 times,

connected my phone to laptop and formatted with spftool 5.1352.01 and installed chinese rom(P780_S135_130917_rooted_twrp_gapps)

then booted once to replace the IMEIs with mobileuncle

and then changed the twrp version from 2.7.1.1 to 2.6.3.0

finally now i can install any custom roms without any errors.

now am trying evry roms one by one(miui, xperia, sld, nexus, emui, color os and alice). all these roms were installed in my phone and booted atleast once for testing. currently my phone is on EMUI 3.0. but, in this rom i face a strange problem that i can't change the ext. memory as int. memory even after installing the patch. other than this prob. rom is very nice and fast. more free ram.

emui 3.0 for p780 correct link is here,

http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=576986&st=5380#entry38681544

[Lenovo P780] Supermatt01:
Is there any way to get the over the air updates to work?
[Lenovo P780] stympy:
I do not think MIUI for Lenovo P780 will get OTA updates because this rom is ported! I is a custom ROM.

Here is the link for official site!
[Lenovo P780] Supermatt01:
Thanks, I have seen the link. It is only for v 5 and it is chinese only, no ROW. And also I have found usb otg is not working. Anyone else?
[Lenovo P780] jukooz:
I'm on this ROM (5.4.10) and I love it and hate it:

1. Love MIUI interface, look, animations, details and some features like one-handed mode, guest mode etc. Most likely it's the most beautiful android ROM. Didn't expect that it may make such an impression on me. I would love to have smooth MIUI launcher and will try MIUI launcher on next ROM I'll try.

2. Hate:

- slowness - it's quite slow in comparison to Nexus 5 ROM - you sometimes have to wait few seconds after clicking home button (mostly when a lots of apps or tabs are opened);

- quite short battery life - definitely the worst of the few ROMs I tried (could live with that though);

- loosing signal every now and then when using 3g for about 10 - 15 s out of the blue - it seems like some modem reset to me; Does anyone know how to fix it?

- Chinese crapware - yellow pages, video app that was sending me some notifications every day (turned those notifications off) and others (will try to freeze or delete some of it with Titanium Backup);

- many Xposed / WSM modules not working, even Mi-Tools unfortuanately (but contrary to some rumors Xprivacy works - you just need to disable MIUI permission manager first and allow it to autostart);

- stupid problems - some images from gmail app that can't be downloaded on 3g (I have download size limit for 3g set to unlimited), emails from gmail in my phone contacts and others that I don't remember now;

- some things working differently than in your typical Android ROM, not necessary favorably - 20MB download limit on 3g (may be changed), for some apps to work properly you need to allow them to Autostart in security app, I don't think you could not have default browser for example (I would prefer to use Chrome sometimes and Firefox other times for links from gmail) and other things I don't remember now;

All in all I hate this ROM, but love it's interface (and some solutions) - it's really beautiful.

EDIT: This post was written when I was pissed off. I love hte interface so much, that I now decided to stay with this ROM for little longer and try to deal with stuff that can be dealt with and I toned down this post little bit + added some specifics.
[Lenovo P780] Supermatt01:
You can set default browser but not default store. If I remember correctly go to apps in settings and click the settings menu on the second or third screen. Some of the issues that you described I have not noticed. Some crap ware sure. My trouble is that usb otg isn't working, I just plunged into my laptop and found that the usb will only charge my device and won't find the file system. Also I hate the 3g issue. I can't run on Wi-Fi all day.

---------- Post added at 02:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:43 AM ----------

In my case, yes. On the stock rom I started having horrible battery drain without being able to find the cause. This one is working much better for battery life. I'm back up to 2 days of use. Before I was down to one day of up time. Very frustrating for a device with such a deep battery to be recharging every day.

Edit: found workaround for usb otg. Usb otg helper on play store works to mount usb sticks.
[Lenovo P780] jukooz:
What I wanted to say is that you have to have default browser. On this ROM you can't not have it chosen. For browser, I would prefer to be asked which browser to use every single time when I click a link ie in gmail (I like Chrome more, but I have extensions like lastpass in Firefox only).

I've set default store to Play. It asked me the first time I clicked store link in browser (I would like to have that notification with browser). I probably didn't even open Mi store before that.

You can have it recognized in MTP mode, but you need to disable debugging - another stupid thing. I somehow guessed to try to disable debugging when I couldn't connect it.

EDIT: I edited my previous post, toned it out little bit and added more specifics. I decided to stay with this ROM for little longer and try to deal with what can be dealt with :) I love this interface so much :D
[Lenovo P780] jukooz:
I have frozen bunch of apps with Titanium Backup without noticing any problems (you can do the same with App Manager premium and few other apps probably). Apps that I've frozen:

- HTML Viewer;

- Xiaomi Assistant;

- Yellow Pages (tab in contacts disappeared :) );

- UniPlay Service;

- Mi Cloud;

- VpnDialogs (I don't use VPN);

- com.android.provision;

- Photo Screensavers;

- Updater;

- Live Wallpaper Picker;

- CloudAppBackup;

- Mail;

- Google One Time Init;

- Mi Account;

- Mi Wallet;

- App Store (freezing it makes Play Store default appstore);

- Basic Daydreams;

- Android Live Wallpapers;

- Mi Credit;

If you know others that can be frozen/deleted safely, share it here please. There are few I would like to try to freeze but being to afraid :)

Battery life seems to be significantly better now. Free RAM after cleaning is between 320 - 395 now (usually closer to 390) so it's better (EDIT: wow, after Greenifying Weather Provider and Chrome, restricting internet access for some apps and adding AdAway it's 415 - 450 now).

I also turned off notifications I didn't like in Settings > Notifications. The only one left that I don't know how to turn off is "Your SIM card is unactivated" from Cloud Backup/Mi Messenger after turning on phone (luckily only then).

I don't know how to manage root access in this ROM. It seems every app gets it by default without me knowing. Security>Permissions>Root access is empty. I don't like that. Does any of you know how to fix it?

As I said above, freezing App Store makes Play Store default.

What kind of 3g issue do you have? Did you disabled Xunlei download engine and set download size limit to unlimited in Downloads>Settings? Also in Security>Data>Restrict check if app that is bothering you isn't restricted (it's a handy tool).

I don't have any more 3g data available now, so for some time I won't know if signal problems persist. That's the issue that's bothering me the most now (along with emails in contacts but I will find a way to fix it for sure). Does any of you have the same problem (loosing signal every now and then for 10 - 15 s when using 3g with signal indicator disappearing completely)? I'm curious if changing modem would fix it.
