Was following the two guides to install TWRP and flash the latest stock ROM. Even putting the UI.zip or ui files in the Theme folder, the TWRP is still in Chinese. How do I make the menu into English? Thanks.
[Android General] OrionBG:
Some people really don't like to read!

FIRST, you start the recovery in whatever language you found so that it can create the TWRP folder...

SECOND, reboot once and in that TWRP folder create a "theme" forlder. All lowercase (mandatory)

THIRD, put the "ui.zip" file inside the "theme" folder... Very important thing, "ui.zip" all lowercase or recovery won't see it...

If it doesn't work after that then you either downloaded a f..ked up recovery or something else...

All of this have been written maybe at least 10 times in this thread and in all other guides... READ.... :cool:

If for some god unknown reason you are still having problems, get the recovery from STEVE_MARS'es web site:

http://evolutionletvx900.blogspot.bg/2016/02/tutorial-leeco-x900-tutoriales-de.html

This one at least is in Spanish by default, not in chinese...

12S

Hey guys,

Here is something that I think you will like a lot!

The brand new Indian LeTV MAX 12S ROM !!! :)

It is completely stock with only one small mod. I changed the device identifier in the installer script as it was looking for "max1_in" and all the Chinese MAX phones have an "X900" identifier. This ROM will probably not install on an Indian MAX but you can always change the identifier back.

This ROM contains a lot less Chinese apps and it looks almost entirely translated in English. At least I haven't seen any Chinese yet...

It has Google's apps by default.

Supported languages: English US, English UK, three types of Chinese and Farsi...or at least I think it is Farsi...

LINK: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B6m-wM0vYiL8U0U4cUhUM2NlMGc

I've installed it on my Chinese X900+ and it works.

Once again this is not a custom ROM and as such it will most probably overwrite the recovery but you all know how to put it back... ;)
[Android General] jeniat:
I've read that the power drain is very bad, can you confirm?
[Android General] OrionBG:
For the time being I can't say anything as I've flashed it no more than 3 hours ago and since I did a complete wipe, I had to reinstall and re-set all of my apps (I don't like backups). Until I charge it tonight and use it normally tomorrow, I won't be able to say anything more about the battery consumption...

Yes it is still 5.0.2 and most probably will stay that way until 6.0 is released around August...

Mine booted reasonably fast the first time but I did a complete wipe including System and Internal Storage partitions...and yes the boot logo is a little different and has the mandatory (for the white world) "powered by Android" logo at the bottom...

Hi OrionBG

Thank you a lot for this.

I had downloaded that ROM but was unable to install as the device identifier was complaining for Max1 and Max1_IN.

Yes, I have Indian version Lemax and I'm not able to install your ROM with an error "Your device is X900 and this ROM is for Max1 "

So please help me how to change the device identifier.

BTW, How could you change the device identifier and in which file and how again repack the zip file?

---------- Post added at 03:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:21 AM ----------

Hi Steve,

I'm not even able to install your Indian version of 12s ROM in my LeMax X900, where as I don't have any problem installing Evolution 11s.

Seems there is lots of confusion with device ID ... X900, Max1, Max1_IN, etc ....

Note that it was a LeMax_IN phone but after rooting/TWRP/Evolution its became LeMax_CN

How to root?

There is a way to root letv max without p.c? I tried towelroot/vroot etc. And it dont work...please help.
[Android General] OrionBG:
You can get the original file (with the correct ID for Indian phones) from the link below:

http://forum.le.com/in/index.php?threads/superphone-offline-update-guideline.1968/

The file I changed is called "updater-script" and is located in META-INF\com\google\android inside the ZIP file. You just open the ZIP with 7ZIP and then open the file itself with Notepad++. search for every instance of "X900" and replace it with "Max1_in". just check the letters casing. Then you save the modded file to some place (Desktop for instance) and drag it inside the Opened ZIP file on the place of the original one. that's it... 7ZIP will repack it and then you flash.

But just in case, it will be easier to download the original file from the link above.
[Android General] Omerremo:
Or even with p.c
[Android General] MaunModi:
Thank you.

But before replay I did Google, and found the same "updater-script" location and removed the entire (first) line which has the check for device ID.

And then I successfully installed the ROM :)
[Android General] gherbert:
In the Chinese verison ( Evolution ), the Music App had a option to access the Music Online Library of LeTV ( I think so ), and download the desire music. In this Music App ( Indian Version ), I can't do it.

Someone know how can I restore it?
[Android General] InjUrIng:
I have the same issue as Dom. I did fix it by changing the script to max1, but after attempting to install, it now just throws an error unable to install the zip. I am still using TWRP 2.8. Could that be the cause of the problem? Should I use TWRP 3?
[Android General] Spixe1:
Is there a 12s non-indian version out? Or does it now matter? My phone is from China, so from what I read, it would have a different ID, and I don't wanna mess with that. Any new Evolution or Cuoco normal 12s yet?
[Android General] STEVE_MARS:
Hi, Evolution 12s Indian version has been developed to install on Chinese X900, and with TWRP 3.0 (don´t work with 2.8.70, binary are differents).

I recommended try it, It´s a very good ROM ;)

Ah, good to know, thanx steve. Another stupid question if u don't mind (i've been monitoring the forums when I have time and didn't see it asked but i may have missed it). I have letv x900 twrp v2.8.7.0 (cuoco92) from ur previous roms. What's the best way to go about updating to english 3.0?
[Android General] Ysabelkid:
What is a good app to freeze the Chinese apps? I have heard of Titanium Backup Pro but heard negative things about needing data to unlock, etc. :)
[Android General] STEVE_MARS:
First, you must install TWRP 3.0. After that, you can backup your DATA partition and after a clean installation of Evolution 12s, you can restore it. But in this ROM, I recommend that install all yours app´s again and don´t restore DATA partition.
[Android General] Spixe1:
Ha, thanks, but i meant the best way to install twrp 3.0. Reboot into recovery (twrp 2.8) and flash 3.0 over itself? :confused:

Nevermind, as i read back to find a twrp 3.0 to use i found that u had already informed us that we can just flash it over itself. Sorry to ask a dup question. All is well then, will flash 3.0 and 12s soon. Thanx and awesome work!
[Android General] Spixe1:

After what I assumed was a succesful install, upon first boot, I'm stuck at "Checking info". I added my wifi password at the previous screen, clicked next, and now it just says checking info, the progress bar is moving (like it's thinking) but it just stays on this. It's already been over 20 minutes. I can click the "back" button, and it takes me back to the wifi screen, but after clicking next, same thing, just checking again. Any ideas? :(
[Android General] STEVE_MARS:
Press power button for five seconds and reboot phone, it´s strange...
[Android General] Spixe1:

Edit: First time i did it with wiping after. Just now i did it again without wiping after. Same problem, just stuck on checking info... :(

Hi

I'm new on this site, and I'm in a rush, and have no time for searching for the subject, and maybe it's a freak question, but I've bought Le Max X900 from a local seller (without any warranty), and I've realized that there is no external memory card support for this phone, after buying... He may not accept to take the phone back, so I wonder if there is a possibility to invrease the memory for this phone or not (without using OTG and flash memory) (mine is 32 GB, and it is so insufficient for my needs) (there is 2 sim card slots, maybe we can use one of them???)

Finally got the Indian 12s working, and working great might I add. And yet, I just had to do something stupid. I decided not to restore any data and start from scratch. But then I just really wanted to get my SwiftKey predictions back, so I used Titanium Backup to restore it's data. That didn't work, so I used it to restore App+Data. That didn't work, so I reinstalled the App itself, and then the app just starting crashing. I rebooted, and now, everytime the system starts, it says:

System UIDs Inconsistent

UIDS on the system are inconsistent, you need to wipe your data partition or your device will be unstable. (Button: I'm Feeling Lucky)

Everything works fine except after clicking I'm feeling lucky except that there is no swiftkey and it won't let me uninstall it or reinstall it at all. It doesn't show up in the app manager anymore, and everytime I try to install it from an apk (regardless of the source) it says it's corrupt and unable to be installed. Installing directly from Google Play says the same thing, uanble to be installed. I did a file search and deleted everything pointing to swiftkey, hoping that would solve it, but same errors.

Any way I can fix this problem without wiping out the data partition? I just spent days reinstalling and setting up everything manually, I'd hate to have to start from scratch again. Thanks for any advice.

[Android General] pjd64:
Hi,

I have a Chinese Max with the original 11S firmware, no custom recovery, no root. I tried to install this ROM through LeEco recovery, the update starts and then I get an error message "Failed to update, Cause: corrupted".

Does this mean I have to install a custom recovery to be able to install this ROM?

Regards.
[Android General] STEVE_MARS:
Yes, if you want install Custom ROM´s you must install TWRP 3.0 Recovery before.
[Android General] OrionBG:
As STEVE_MARS already mentioned: Yes, you need a TWRP Installed to install this as the original recovery checks some file check-sums that are different now because of the ID modification I did. Just put TWRP 3.0 on your phone and then flash the ROM.

[Android General] Spixe1:
Oh, 13s Chinese? I'm looking forward to that one, the 12s Indian is nice but a lot of my apps are being killed (automatically, and there's no way I can disable this as far as I know) once they go into the background, and live wallpapers and beautiful widgets keep crashing. Then again, I've had these last two problems since 5s, so I guess it's a LeEco system problem in general (or maybe Evolution? I've also only been using Evolution ROMs from the start, but till this day no one has verified if these apps work or not on their Evolution install, hint hint...;) )
[Android General] PetaX8:

[Android General] STEVE_MARS:

Indian. Original ROM. To flash it on CN Max you need to replace device id "max_in" to "max1" in the updater script.

Go to settings > Battery > Smart battery for apps and disable auto killing for your apps, that should not be killed in background.

Install Evolution 13s with Gapps as usual, boot up and configure SetupWizard, reboot into TWRP and restore DATA partition.

Don´t wipe after, always before.

stock indian or chinese rom ?

hello

I can't go back to stock chinese or indian firmwares. how to do this? I'm on Evolution 13S and twrp 3.0

When i try to flash any rom theres a message:

This package is for "max1" devices; this is a "x900"

how to go back to stock firmware ?
[Android General] STEVE_MARS:
Open stock zip ROM (not unzip, only open) and find this file: META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script. Edit it and change the line "max1" to "x900". Then saved it and refresh zip.

Or delete all line: getprop("ro.product.device") == "max1" || getprop("ro.product.device") == "max1" || abort("This package is for "max1" devices; this is a "" + getprop("ro.product.device") + "".");

This assert it´s a security that check you id phone and prevent that you flash one ROM from other phone.

hi! I've received my x900 for exactly a week now. This is my second China made phone, last one was Meizu Pro.

regarding Nova Launcher

Apparantly Nova Launcher isn't working on x900. I always been using Nova Launcher but had to switch to another launcher and wait for Nova to be updated to work with x900. (maybe feedback to Nova developers?)

firmware versions, root & google

I bought my x900 from Letv official Chinese online mall and so it came installed with stable 004S firmware (firmware version ending with 'S' for stable) It does not have google play store installed as I bought it directly from China.

immediately tried OTA to 005S, then root and installed google framework.

conclusion with 005S: Root works but google apps is not synchronising. battery life is good which lasted more than a day.

went on to installed 0021E, root and install google framework.

conclusion with 0021E: able to flash TWRP but not rooted after reboot. Google apps sync works flawlessly. no comments on battery life as I immediately flashed 0019E which has the same result as 0021E.

went on to flash 0017E.

conclusion with 0017E: Root and google framework is working great! Battery life seems good too. on 0017E for three days now, battery can usually last me throughout the day before I'm home with basic use. (emails, music, browsing web)

I suggest always have Location turned off and have Align Wake turned on for better battery life.

---------- Post added at 02:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:20 AM ----------

just sharing on how to set your custom launcher, no root required.

first, install your favorite launcher.

go to settings - apps.

right at the bottom, tap 'Default apps'.

right on top, you'll see 'launcher' and there you can set the launcher of your choice. pressing home button will bring you to the default launcher you've just set.

side note: Nova launcher does not work on x900 now. it crashing when you go to Nova setting. I've tried L Launcher and Smart Launcher, both ate working fine on x900. ;)

Hi cryzies,

Both gregou and jazzypit, here on this thread say they activated their LTE 20 band. Look back this thread around post #117.

But none of them is able to positively verify they actually are on band 20 with whatever app appropriate.

It makes me hesitate to buy this phone too, for I definitely need band 20 to work. Apart from possible issue with thermal throttleing stalling charging when using device for navigation while charging in car.
