[Lenovo P780] bauuuuu:
Indeed they are in flashable zip and those should be also fine for aosp roms. It may always not be straightforward
[Lenovo P780] dkuku:
The only thing i have problem with is low space on sd card -Im not shure if its because wrong path or because this rom wants to save to my internal sd card which is 5mb. My previous rom had a possibility to swap internal and external sd,could you do the same if there would be any next build?
[Lenovo P780] kishanjith:
Change preferred install location to sd card and default writing disk to sd card . Rom is working perfect .
[Lenovo P780] shailuk301:
This ROM already has both option (internal memory or SD card) for selecting install location and also for media storage.
[Lenovo P780] dkuku:
My bad, better camera was set up for writing to phone memory and titanium-backup had also wrong path in setup. Also xposed installer has problems writing to sd(error sd card:null). It all made me think its something with sd mount points .

Thanks
[Lenovo P780] shailuk301:
Just make sure to restart the phone everytime you change preferred install location or media storage.

Best configuration is setting preferred install location to internal and media storage to SD card. As apps perform well from internal memory.
[Lenovo P780] Eeess:
Loving the rom! Awesome work! Thank you!

So far i get lags (acceptable lags ? - which sure will be gone after an update!) at only the recent apps screen and also the pull down notification status. And russian characters at ram usage in apps menu.
[Lenovo P780] shailuk301:
Just hope for an update from bauuu.

[Lenovo P780] kishanjith:
Systemui is android 4.4.2 kikat
[Lenovo P780] bauuuuu:
Please try to use Seeder that should help you in removing lags.
[Lenovo P780] elol:
Okay ..thanks..then i should stay with miui rom..
[Lenovo P780] shailuk301:
Hello,

All this roms made for lenovo p780 are based on SDK 19 version only ( limited to kk base ).

After all its our choice to which ROM to stick with.

Actually I am waiting for something new based on real lollipop (SDK 22) , its features it's performance, etc
[Lenovo P780] elol:
We need have source lolipop for this phone if we need to bulid/port the lolipop version,i just search on google that this phone will no upgread to lolipop.hope fully dev will bulid kernal for lolipop version..
[Lenovo P780] bauuuuu:

[Lenovo P780] kishanjith:
I feeel this rom is better than miui .
[Lenovo P780] shailuk301:
All ROMs have some unique features in it. Lastly it depends on which type of user u r.
[Lenovo P780] rintomr:
This is Awesome !!!

Coming all the way from S119 -> S124 -> S228 -> MIUI -> S124 -> SLX ->S124.

Before Installing this ROM

ROM: Stock S124

Recovery: TWRP 2.7

Lenovo P780 8GB ROW (India, Bangalore)

Wiped everything except Preloader & SD

Tried installing, showed an error, don't remember what it was, cleaned the Dalvik/Cache, tried again, installed successfully.

Faced small lag in the beginning, flashed Pure Graphics tweak and installed Seeder, also changed to ART(Missing Xposed though).

There was no network in the beginning, installed P780_V23_S226_ROW modem from stympy's thread and network's a charm now.

Didn't like the preinstalled M Launcher, installed Google Now Launcher, also QuickPic, A Better Camera (Didn't like the UI though).

Everything looks so good and smooth, totally satisfied.
[Lenovo P780] dkuku:
Is there any way to edit the scripts in root folder ?

I have all the time some problems with sd path - flashed everything a couple of times, even the different emmc layout and I think that I'm close to the solution ;)

So I want to export somewhere the INTERNAL_STORAGE but can't get /etc/init.d scripts to work (broken ?)

and also can't edit the scripts in main folder - after reboot my changes disapear
[Lenovo P780] shailuk301:
What exactly do you want ?

What are you trying to achieve ?
[Lenovo P780] dkuku:
I want to edit the scripts in root folder-with names starting init.

on my phone the symlinks in /storage/emulated are pointing to /mnt/shell/emulated/0 which is not mounted and some apps have this path hardcoded or use some exported values

whey you point your file manager to /storage/emulated/0 is is opening the sd card ?

ok nvm

found the files inside ramdisk packed in boot.img, I think that now I can solve it
[Lenovo P780] kishanjith:
In kernel wakelock its showing file couldn't be read . How to solve this ??

Thanks
[Lenovo P780] shailuk301:
Betterbatterystats app is needed to be installed twice. On first install it install as system app and on 2nd install it takes support of system app to read file.
[Lenovo P780] osan441:
The rom is great, especially the battery life. But i have a problem. I am not able to set live wallpapers. Tried many live wallpapers, but the wallpaper setting tells me "app isn't installed". And the live wallpaper apps crash. Also tried it on different launchers, same result. Any idea whats causing this. I was previously on bauuuuu's AOSP Android 4.4.4.
[Lenovo P780] wokwitme:
i want to try this rom coz i love lollipop ui

hope this rom can fix my issues with notification that no show up when a message arrive in my whatsapp

back to my JB again

coz this rom still have the same issue with whatsapp notification for my phone

and the most, cannot play my minion rush, it say "unfortunately, Minion Rush has stopped"
[Lenovo P780] shailuk301:
Try floatify app for heads up notifications with advanced options.

Antutu results shows that it is able to play such big games. Try to play similar big game and you will find the difference.
[Lenovo P780] wokwitme:
i`ve used Push Notification Fixer n that issue still exist

i`ll give a try for floatify but seem it has the same result

not a gamer geek, only play one game n i love minion, play it since

several times i try another custom rom lollipop before from 4pda.ru n had the same problem, unfortunately minion rush has stopped
[Lenovo P780] anujyadava:
With this rom u can use gravity box for notification.also u can use GL tools for playing heavy games on this phone.
[Lenovo P780] wokwitme:
i dont think it all about setting in notification area, coz if i use mobile data it works fine only if i use wifi the issue comeback

and only with my whatsapp notification, like it kills when i dont open the apk, not kill the apk but only the access to internet service

its all show since i flash s228, already try several custom rom too based on kitkat have the same issue

i think its has relative to google play service, in JB if i update my google play service, i`ve got the same issue too

so in JB i cannot do an update for my google play service and google mail, still used the old version and all work fine
[Lenovo P780] Malik25499:

To activate 3G on sim 2, simply go to Settings >> More >> Mobile Networks >> Network Mode >> Enable 3G

Audio Problem

Thanks for this ROM! Totally wiped-out my S226 ROW (except for the preloader and sdcard) last night using TWRP 2.7.1.1. Initial installation produced an error. Rebooted and the installation was a success. However, I encountered an audio problem. The internal speaker is working fine but there is no sound coming out of the loud speaker. Could someone share a fix?
[Lenovo P780] kartik@xda:
Can u please explain the difference between internal speaker and loudspeaker.
[Lenovo P780] stympy:
Internal - at the top of and the front the phone!

Loud Speacker - at the back and bottom of the phone !
[Lenovo P780] kartik@xda:
There is no problem like that in my rom.ever speaker is working fine.

I think you should install the rom again by following all the steps correctly.

Hi, I have installed Whatsapp but I can't write my name during the first use. I can't click on Next because I can't see the field to write my name. Do anyone know how to solve this problem? Thanks.
[Lenovo P780] akkypaul:
Yes there is!

I did search for it and was able to do so. The ROW uses M Launcher as the default home launcher app. If you go to settings of the Drawer in the M Setting, you will find an option to change the background colour of the App Drawer. You will have to change the font colour accordingly too :p. Plus there are also options for changing the transparency settings there. The Drawer settings are the one which has a symbol of 9 dots. :cowboy:

I don't now why but the Google Keyboard seems to be disabled at first. Enable that from the settings menu under Input and Language tab. then go to Input and turn the Google Keyboard thing to right to enable it. Then select it as the default keyboard.

Can you tell me how did you completely wipe out the ROM?

How much space was left after you installed the M ROW?

I have only 0.98 GB left as internal memory on my 8GB P780. Something does not feels right!

---------- Post added at 10:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:48 AM ----------

Can you please tell me that how much internal space are you left with?

I am asking this because I am left with only 0.98 GB of internal space and out of that, I can use only 126 MB. Can you please help?

DO I need to install the ROM again? Or did I not do a good Wipe while preparing to install the ROM?

Is there something wrong with the partition system?:eek:
[Lenovo P780] kishanjith:
Can you please attach the screenshot of storage page?
[Lenovo P780] akkypaul:
I am sorry but the phone's memory is so less that I can't even click a screenshot or download any more app on the phone!

The ROM seems highly unstable as sometimes when I open the phone, it says that: Unfortunately, android has stopped working. And there is nothing that I can do that switch off the phone!
[Lenovo P780] kishanjith:
I got 1gb as system storage

Nearly 6.5 gb as internal storage .
[Lenovo P780] akkypaul:
Thank you so much for replying!

Now, I need to know something from you....

This SD Card that you talk about... is this the Internal Memory Partition of the device which is called as SD Card or is this the external memory card's memory?

I am asking this because I read online that the phones have two partitions:

1) Internal Storage: Where the OS/Text Messages/Call logs are stored

2) SD Card: a.ka. sdcard0 (as it should be called) This is where the apps and its data is stored.

:confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused:

Now the problem with my device is that the second partition is not showing up at all!

If I do not insert my external SD Card, the phone just shows an Internal Storage whose Capacity is 0.98 GB

The SD Card thing shows up ONLY when I put my external sd card in the slot. Luckily the ROM is programmed to save the apps on SD card. because of which I am able to install some basic apps. But I am guessing that I did not do a proper wipe of the data before installing the ROM.

Below is the list that I get before wiping:-

1) Dalvik Cache

2) Cache

3) Data

4) Internal Storage

5) System

6) Preload

Out of the above ones.... Can somebody please tell me what all should I wipe?

There is also another thing called "Format Data" in the Wipe Data section. Should I do that too?

Please help :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
[Lenovo P780] kishanjith:
Always wipe dalvik cache ,cache ,data and system before flashing new custom rom .

---------- Post added at 05:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:34 AM ----------

akkypaul

If you have stock rom backup then restore that and check your storage space ,if it is okay then reboot to recovery and go to advanced wipe then wipe dalvik cache,cache,data and system . After wiping install the custom rom . Hope it will work .

Always make a backup of your working rom before flashing a new custom rom .
[Lenovo P780] akkypaul:
What about the internal storage?

Can I delete that too if I don't care about my personal data!?:cool:
[Lenovo P780] kishanjith:
I never tried to wipe internal storage.
[Lenovo P780] akkypaul:
I read that it stores the personal information like contacts and messages (SMS) and other stuff.... I don't need that as of now. So, what do you say.... is it safe to experiment on it?
[Lenovo P780] kishanjith:
Always make a backup of your rom before experimenting .?
[Lenovo P780] akkypaul:
Thank you for all the guidance. I was trying to wipe the data but I kept on getting one error that says: "Unable to mount Preload"

This was in the command prompt where you see the details of the steps being executed. I am using TWRP v2.8

Just wanted to know that is preload protected so as not to be mounted by default or is there something wrong with my preload partition?
[Lenovo P780] akkypaul:
Screenshot Attached as requested

PFA the screenshot of the total internal memory and the space that is available to me:-

The 30/32 GB is the External SD card memory.
[Lenovo P780] kishanjith:
If you getting mount error then restore your stock rom backup hope it will be okay .

Ask stympy if its not working .
[Lenovo P780] xysen0:
hello

if that rom is stable? Now I have MIUI and there are few problems, if that ROM will be better and faster it would be great :)
[Lenovo P780] kishanjith:
No custom rom is stable . Just try the rom and see you like or not .

Battery backup is good in android m preview but ram management is not that good .
[Lenovo P780] kartik@xda:
It has been about 3 months for me using this ROM but till now the ROM is working great. There is no crashes, lag and any big problem.

But there are yet some issues like the recent menu is very very clumsy, full of problems like no app display in recents some times only this is an issue can any one repair it....

I've tried this rom and it's really raw. Seems like author just tried to create something that looks like M, but totaly forgot to make good working base. This firmware not for those, who want to setup it and be happy.

You need to tune it from the beginning (no default ringtones are set).

There is no menu item Accessibility. You dont have it at all. I've found it with Quick Shortcut and when i tried to go there - got Settings Force closed.

Recent apps interface:

- lag lag lag

- in most cases you can not control it, it's just don't listen to your gestures.

Ram. Where did you see much free ram? Maximun i've seen - 250 MB with no additional programs running.

Just try AOSP 4.4.4 by bauuuuu for stability and speed
[Lenovo P780] Digitus 90:
I'm using this rom since two weeks and it's great!

First I installed it over S136 Jelly Bean (which had become buggy), and I had several problems like reboots and bootloops.

After that I made a clean installation of VIBEUI_V1.5_1419_5_DEV_P780_rooted_twrp_gapps.7z via Flashtool and installed M preview.

I still had some problems (Boot stuck at Lenovo powered by Android screen) while using Seeder and/or deleting Google Camera.

I'm not sure which one (or both?) caused this, but after another installation of M without deleting Camera (still using A better camera as system app, it's great) and without using Seeder, I'm able to shut down and reboot my phone without any trouble.

My phone works better than before! I'm very happy. In my opinion it's the best rom on our phone. Thank you very much bauuuuu!!!

I still have a few questions:

Is it somehow possible to use Live Wallpapers?

How can I get Lenovo Power manager working on this rom? I tried several ones I found on xda but wasn't able to get them work properly. Right now I'm using Go Power master but it's not as good as the lenovo one. Maybe someone knows a good alternativ?
[Lenovo P780] lemyx:
Don't you think that it's to much head ache to setup a rom? IMO, when you're creating and posting the rom, and saying that it's stable, this rom must be tested by you (or other testers) at least for two weeks.

So, this rom is not good tested and it's not ready for daily use.
[Lenovo P780] Digitus 90:
Well, because I like to personalize my phone I don't see it as an issue. I think most people change some settings and other stuff when they get a new ROM/phone.

Except the issue I mentioned before, the phone works great and is highly stable, at least for me. I use it as my daily phone. Of course I had some problems after the first installation but I think this was mostly due to my own laziness.

For now I can say that the ROM works much better and stabler as my previous S136 and has a great battery life as you can see in the attachments.

Maybe you had a problem while installation.

My phone works flawlessly since I did what I wrote in my last post. And I can only recommend this ROM.

[Lenovo P780] stympy:
Hi.

Once you have rooted this firmware and installed TWRP, OTA updates are excluded.

You must reinstall stock recovery to OTA update.

Or you can flash directly stock firmware JellyBean S124 and then OTA update to KitKat S228.

Link: http://xdaforums.com/lenovo-p780/development/p780-stock-rom-links-t2842399

After OTA update, install TWRP and install any ROW custom firmware you want.
