[General Questions and Answers] Crusader2010:
Hello,

I bought a Lenovo S860 phone some time ago and I have several questions on how to get rid of some annoyances.

The phone has 2GB RAM, and Build Number = S860_ROW_S402_141108, Android v4.4.2

(I know there are some official updates, but I rooted the phone after I bought it, and I don't have enough free time nor patience to invest in a backup + unroot + update install + re-root + restore backup).

So here are my questions:

1. Every time I connect to WiFi or Data Connection, in the Apps section of the settings, under "Running" and "Cached Processes" there are always some which I don't use/want to be active. For example, google play services, hangouts etc. I always have to manually stop them but sometimes they get activated again even when there's no internet connection. So, is there any way to force the OS to disable caching of certain apps?

2. Sometimes the data connection on my first SIM card does not activate. I need to activate it for the second SIM, then for the first again. Known issue? Solvable?

3. Sometimes the signal for both of my SIM cards appears cut off (there's a small red X on both of the top right icons). Only way to fix it is to restart my phone (which takes forever), and the biggest problem is that it happens out of the blue (nothing else changes too, I keep the phone in the same place and suddenly I can't call anyone nor receive anything). Any ideas on what might be the problem?

4. After recharging the phone to 100% (and doing the calibration at the same time), the battery seems to drain a lot faster until I restart the phone. Another related issue (to recharging) is that the battery percent(%) is not always accurate. It happened many times that from 60-70% it got to 15% suddenly and started to give me warnings. Is there any way to make this batter sensor work properly?

5. How to speed up the time in which the GPS finds my current location? If I'm standing in one spot it takes even 5-6 minutes sometimes. After I start driving the car, it usually converges after 2-3 minutes. Other phones with the same Android do it in under 30 seconds (so I guess the OS is not really to blame).

6. How can I take a screenshot with this phone? I've tried like 5-6 apps and key combinations (like Power+VolumeDown) but nothing is working.

7. Is there any way to have the "flashlight" led open even when I lock the phone(i.e. Power button)? Again I've tried some flashlight apps but I have to keep the phone unlocked all the time or the led shuts off. I'm using a drawing pattern unlock with my phone.

8. There were some threads on these forums (but I can't find them anymore!) about Android 5.0 on Lenovo S860. Did it come out yet? or, at least, are there any stable 3rd-party versions of it?

9. Is there any custom OS that works well with Lenovo S860? (I'm thinking Cyanogen)

Thank you

Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. If it's truly hardbricked it won't even turn on. In which case you can't fix it without specialized hardware. If it still turns on and you can get into download mode then use Odin.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CavyS:
Is it possible to get the cyanogenmod style quick settings pulldown on a sense based rom? I love the look of cyanogenmod but I cant live without sense so I'm on a voyage to get a sense rom to look as close to cyanogenmod as possible.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josh.walker.9242:
The status bar (where quick settings is) is in the framework-res.apk. You could replace it with cyanogenmod framework-res.apk but you would more than likely have a lot of issues. There is a thread around here with a bunch of the sense apps that you can install on a cyanogenmod/gpe rom, like the camera and gallery and such. If you're brave you can backup your rom and then go to system/framework and replace the framework-res.apk with that of a cyanogen rom and set permissions then reboot and see where it gets you. I've never done it myself so I don't know what the outcome will be, but I don't recommend doing it lol could be highly detrimental.

AICP

Android Ice Cold Project

AICP is known by everyone as Ice Cold Project that started on Desire HD and since then evolved into a mature ROM with the BEST community you can find!!!

Until Lollipop, Rom has always been AOKP based. Unfortunately, since AOKP either stopped development or will make a comeback later this year, we changed our base to CM when it comes to hardware, drivers and some features.

If there are any bugs, either we will sort them or CM team if it concerns their modifications. This rom isn't CM supported so no need to report errors or bugs to them!!

In the beginning we would like to thank:

Community

ROMS should contain everything you need to enjoy Lollipop. You are not required to install any Add Ons, simply download the latest ROM, gapps, flash it, and go!

You are STRONGLY recommended to fully wipe your device before flashing, and if possible avoid restoring system apps and system data with Titanium Backup - these can cause stability issues that are very hard to debug. If you believe you know what you're doing - then fine, go ahead, but please don't complain if you experience strange behavior.

How to flash:

Don't do it if you don't know it

Full wipe, flash rom, flash gapps, boot

ROM has gapps persistance in between dirty flashes

Seriously: BEST ROM for Z3 Thus Far

I've toyed with CarbonROM for a wk, Validus (good but buggy), BlissPop & Euphoria Ninja OS (Best OS prior to this AiP Gem) all over the cours of two wks flashing and playing with different variables (xPosed, GravityBox & xBlast) & this ROM (AIP) is for me the best ROM. totally complete, no need for GravityBox anymore (goodwork) xBlast is useful for its build.prop hacks but you have covered everything with the options for customisation.

Thanks Alot!

All works for me, calls, WiFi, Bluetooth, rebooting, TWRP, MultiROM its quick and i've managed via the fantastic SYSTEM APP REMOVER (ROOT) (not included) to reduce the system down to 47 system apps, so quick couldn't get any other ROM down to such a minimal.

Nice One!

---------- Post added at 09:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:55 PM ----------

GravityBOX probably wont be included in any ROM as it is not a FREE application (48 reboots before one must purchase)

Z3's Best ROM right here, I've flashed copius ROMs of which many I've flashed multiple times in my opinion This will develop into a fantastic ROM

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
first off question go into the q&a section, not into general, so I'll ask a mod to move it there.

secondly, when you are not talking on the phone, you dont turn off the radio, so the radio is on and just hanging out waiting for a call. this uses battery. and depending on the quality of your phone/data signal, it could drain even more battery if your cell quality is worse.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slider112:
See here:

http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/help/signal-signal-t2959050

In a nutshell: everything I've read points to it being a bug. You actually never lose signal, but for some reason when switching LTE bands/towers the signal changes to 99 asu (with good dBm) and android is reading that as "no signal", even though there clearly is one. Annoying, but explains the inflated 51% bogus time without signal reading.

Search that thread for "asu" and you'll see more info.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Belial:
Hi all,

I'm sure this is the right place to ask, but i'm using xamarin to do some dev, been using it for years and love it, have no problems debugging at all. However with the G4, despite me having USB debugging enabled, it never prompts me to authorize my computer and therefore the G4 never appears in my list of devices which I can debug with. When I connect USB the phone shows the icon to say it's in USB Debugging mode but still makes no difference.

a call to adb devices doesn't list it at all.

Can anyone offer any advice as to why I can't use it for debugging?

Click OK, ran "adb devices" and the device is listed.

Is there an easier way to explain this - Sorry i'm quite good working with my PC, but this was a bit greek:

All you need to do is:

1. Remove your SD card

2. Do a hard reset or clean storage (some programs like battery status block full access to your device)

3. Connect your mobile to PC and make sure that activsync connection is established

4. Start to flash your device with USPL, when DOS part end and your mobile switch to bootloader mode vista will find new device and start instaling new drivers.

5. Wait till vista finish installing new drivers and unplug your device, do a soft reset

6. Next step is to change vista drivers to xp, to do this you need to fallow this instruction:

http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=23&Itemi d=27

7. After switching the drivers plug your artemis again and install USPL, there should be no more problems with connection lost (errors 260, 270)

8. When USPL instalation will finish you can flash any rom you want to your arte

The new Photos app does not auto-enhance photos, and I really liked that feature. I tried looking for an old Photos apk but this new one seems to be the first one. So I figured it was part of the Google+ package. I uninstalled Photos and cleared all updates from Google+, but still no old Photos app. Am I missing something?

I have a T-Mo Galaxy S6.
[General Questions and Answers] GODSPD:
Ran into your problem yesterday, there are 2 ways:

restore your phone to factory lol or,

uninstall google+ (as photos.apk is part of it) and install an older version <5.6 so 5.5 will do the trick, and do not allow updates of your google+ or photos.apk :)

It looks like the option to uninstall updates from google + is no longer available, which is what I relied on in the past. Now with no root on a note 4 att model, I'm screwed and stuck with the new crappy photos app unless I restore. Ugh!
