Need Serious Suggestion

Hi everyone....

I bought this device couple of months back(Not Rooted Yet)...when i bought the phone it had wifi connectivity issues...

so upgraded to the latest firmaware s144...wifi issue solved but the firmware introduced the touch issues ...i had to tap hard to get a response....and furthermore the the keyboard is my worst nghtmare...overall the touch is a problem...went to lenovo forums on their support page and saw many having the same and couple of other issues....and the worst thing is they r nt acknowledging the issues...dnt know if they gonna release the patches

So my question is would like to root my phone as i had previously a rooted phone (Samsung S2) which has been damaged.

so people here who have rooted and installed the customs roms form this forum...does any one have the same touch issues like me...

or any other issues....jus wanted to make sure if it is worth to root and install custom rom...does they solve the major issues facing on sock rom.....Please guys give me your valuable suggestions.

AOSP ROM users;)....Can You explain me the method to install apps to External SD card :(..!!

Any help is appreciated :):)

---------- Post added at 03:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:13 PM ----------

Hello Friend....

I'm using AOSP ROM for my A7000 !!

There's no touch lag and this ROM works awesome !! Just follow the forum instructions and flash this ROM...

You'll love it !! It will increase battery performance and fixes lot of bugs !

The only bug in this ROM is default storage is internal(this is not an issue b.coz flashing this ROM gives u 4.8GB of internal storage).
[Lenovo A7000 Questions & Answers] Bala_2668:
so its not showing the option to install to sd card like in stock....
[Lenovo A7000 Questions & Answers] Yashu1012:
Yeah....but it gives u 4.82 GB internal space !!

Bro....the downloaded firmware is in .7z format & my recovery CWM is not detecting the firmware ?? How do I flash stock ??
[Lenovo A7000 Questions & Answers] AjaySan:
Flash It This Way...... ;)

Brother You Need To Extract .7z first.. ( Use WinRar To Extract Downloaded .7z) Right Click On Downloaded Firmware And Click Extract Here

Install All Important Drivers..You Have Flashed ASOP It Means All Drivers Are Already Installed On Your Laptop/Pc

then Skip This Step

1.) Extract Downloaded Content

You Will Get The Folder(A7000-a_S136_150519_ROW) Its S134 here But You Will Get S136

2.) Open Extracted Folder And Extract Target Bin in It ( Right Click And Extract Here)

3.)Extract Upgrade Tool

4.) Open Upgrade Tool Folder And Run Flash Tool As Administrator

5.) Select Scatter File From (Target Bin Folder )

6.) Select Upgrade Frimware From Dropdown Menu

7.) Go To Option->Download->DA DL all checksum Ticked And Come back to main Screen

Now Switch Of Your Phone And Remove Battery

Come Back To The Flashing Tool

8.) Click On Download Button And Wait For 30sec..

9.) Now Connect Your Phone via USB cable Without Battery

After Few Seconds Insert Battery

Then Immediately Flash Tool Will Detect Your Phone and Flashing Will Start It Will Take About 15-20 Minutes

After Then GREEN OK button Will Appear Disconnect Everything And Restart The Phone It will Take About 10 Min For First Boot So Dont Panic.

Done

Hope It Will Help You...

Imei issue

Ajay bro ............ i have flashed stock rom,,,,, and root my device again, through CWM recovery .... and then install the chamelephon apk.....( THIS METHOD ALSO FAILS)

I also tried Fixing imei through Maui Meta 3G V6 software ........................that also doesn't work.

More than that i tried fixing imei through Droid tools method,,,,replacing MP0B_001 file in the root directory,,,,,,,,through Imei and sn changer,,,,,,through write imei software,,,,, Also through Android Language Project method ...........but none of them work.

Then i install Xposed framework in my device and use (xposed imei changer pro.apk)...................... This method also fails.

Conclusion: (THERE IS NO SUCCESSFUL METHOD FOR FIXING IMEI ON THIS DEVICE TILL NOW). Therefore it is advisable that everyone please take backup before flashing rom or formatting the device through CWM recovery.

finally after trying all possible method i give up and handover my phone to service centre ......hope they will fix it soon.

Thank you so much Ajay bro and all other CHAMPS for helping me. ;)

Hi guys,

I have updated my device to S149 stock rom. I want to go back to one of an older stock rom, but don't know which one to choose.

In the first comment there's a link to S136, is it a good rom? After S140 ROMs, my display's touch is less responsive, unfortunately...

Thank you in advance
[Lenovo A7000 Questions & Answers] archz2:
What is the perfect way to get a Lenovo a7000 firmware updates on a rooted phone? I recently unrooted my Lenovo a7000 which had a maxritz cwm recovery installed. I installed stock recovery on it. Then while installing update my phone rebooted and I got the following error.

I messed up my phone big time when I fetched the update using OTA snatcher and tried to force install it using TWRP and bricked my device. However things are normal now after I wiped off my phone and installed stock ROM. I am getting update alerts now and want a fool proof way to install OTA updates. Please advise. I have xposed installed too with gravity box and youtube adaway modules.
[Lenovo A7000 Questions & Answers] YoGieZ:
try stock rom 137 (flash rom 136 first, and then update 137 via OTA. done)

The game problem

I have read each and every post to find the solution for the gameloft games installation error. Does anyone knows any method in which we don't have to install custom roms. Does anyone has any script or flashable files. Please it's very important..... :(:(:(:(
[Lenovo A7000 Questions & Answers] Duplicated:
Wait, so which one actually fixes the display's unresponsiveness? The old S137 or the newest S149?

It's been annoying me to no end when I can't type fluidly, and especially when I play games and can't select something on the screen.
[Lenovo A7000 Questions & Answers] AjaySan:
S137 and S149 Are the Most Stable

And Functional Updates Released Till Now

If You Want To Be Up to Date...

Flash S149 TOUCH response Fixed...

But S137 Is Good One Too..

You Deciede...

But All Updates Have Batery draining Problems..

Battery Drains much Faster In S149
[Lenovo A7000 Questions & Answers] Duplicated:
I was lingering on S137 and testing the keyboard out a bit. For my phone, the touch response was still pretty bad on S137. Now that I'm on S149, there are literally no bad spots on my screen now.

I haven't had any problem with the battery life so far (compare to my stock Nexus 5, that is).

My Lenovo A7000-a (international version) works bad on all of S140-S149 ROMs. Touch sometimes loses responsiveness...Battery is draining fast. I think I will go back to S136 ROM.

It's not just the keyboard lol. I was playing a game with virtual pads, and it would randomly unregister my control while my thumbs were still firmly pressed on the screen. Happened when I was trying to click the search box in my browser, as well.

Thanks puchupechu & team for the excellent work. I'm now able to root my phone & take TWRP backup.

Has anyone tried to restore the TWRP backup successfully?

Asking this because size of this backup is extremely large 2.4 GB (compressed mode) & I am doubtful if TWRP backup is fine or not.

I've only installed 2-3 new programs like Antutu , mobileuncle tool & Titanium Backup.

Also which all bloatware I can safely remove from this rooted phone to get more free space & better performance?

Thanks,

How to download OTA updates and possibly stock ROMs from Lenovo's OTA server

For anyone interested in getting the official stock (user) ROM from Lenovo's servers, if you can figure this out, you shall be able to download it: http://xdaforums.com/android/help/how-download-stock-roms-lenovos-ota-t3109507

http://fus.lenovomm.com/firmware/3.1/updateservlet?devicemodel=LenovoA7000_A_ROW&curfirmwarever=A7000-a_S129_150324_ROW&action=querynewfirmware&locale=en

http://fus.lenovomm.com/firmware/3.1/updateservlet?devicemodel=<INSERT_PHONE_MODEL>&curfirmwarever=<INSERT_FIRMWARE_BUILD>&action=querynewfirmware&locale=en

That's basically how Lenovo queries for OTA firmware updates on the phone and downloads them when available. Lenovo may very well store a copy of the stock ROM for the phone on their OTA server (they've done so for other phone models) but I can't figure out how to get at it. Check it out and if you are able to decipher it, there's a very good chance you'll get the stock ROM off their servers.

I recommend you read this article to get started: http://www.cantoni.org/2013/11/06/capture-android-web-traffic-fiddler

doesn't a7000 have magnetometer and e compass?? anyway to calibrate it??

how's the camera after the recent update? how is new mtk's gps performance?

hope the stock rom would be uploaded soon!!
[Lenovo A7000 Questions & Answers] xyberz09:
It's already been uploaded. Check this link: http://xdaforums.com/chef-central/a...ovo-a7000a-t3102588/post60588846#post60588846

I hadn't taken any pictures before the recent camera performance OTA update (http://fus.lenovomm.com/firmware/3...._150324_ROW&action=querynewfirmware&locale=en) but I can say that the camera performance is very poor after the update.

I can't seem to take macro shots at all from Lenovo's stock Camera app. I can barely manage it using other camera apps, but focusing is quite slow and the picture quality is terrible. All the details (after zooming in) are smudged, for any picture I take on Auto or Manual modes at any resolution.

It may just be my device that's acting up, which is why I'm hoping you could upload a few photos taken from your A7000-a that I could compare to shots taken from my device and see if this is a problem with all A7000s or just my device.

Also, on average I get a 3D GPS lock in about a minute (tested using GPS Test).
