Im not getting this trash at all.he never took credit for anything, he never say he built the kernel from source.it was available in luckAs ftp and was used(he would've given proper credits if luckAs had an account through the mention system).no one here knew anything about you paying money for it either. But credit must be given to andreidi he did compare a good amount of codes to make an emulated memory patch and fix vibration even before the luckAs kernel were even released.we at XDA never came and trash talked about any "stolen" (not the correct word but you're the one who started using it) ports any where else.

In short andreidi did a good amount of work before the kernel release,never made any claim nor did he request money.

So what exactly is your ****in problem? Kindly take your babyrage elsewhere

AND if it helps you feel any better:

You're awesome man,no words to describe your importance in this world.many thanks your thoughts are much appreciated.

Would somebody mind giving me a link to the twrp 3.0 with 3.10.103 core? Thanks.

And romario or whatever the hell your name is, you should do something useful with your life, other than turning oxygen into carbon dioxide. You are wasting our planet's air.

works fine enough for me :D i had noticed that luck@s kernel but never gave it a try however it did the job :highfive:

i flashed the boot.img havent noticed a bug yet except for audio.

Great work andreidi truely appreciate ur work.
[Android General] andreidi:
So you say my RR 5.7.4 no bugs zip, flashed over S030 is working? That's great, it seems I didn't screw it when I added all the patches in the zip.

The audio issue was there even before LuckAs. "vol_fix.zip" didn't fix it, unfortunately. I am currently looking all over the internet for a tip about where to look, because I have in mind to replace the corresponding files with the ones from RR 5.7.4 with kernel 3.4.67, because "vol_fix.zip" works with that version and it's the easiest way to fix it.
[Android General] romario_ne:
Whatever, I was one of the first tester of rollback kernel from Lucas and this kernel too. You get it for free and we have donated for it. Everything is ok...

Couple question for you:

1. Do you know why darklord kernel still not working proper? And no other version of his kernel?

2. Why didn't you find some developer to make a new kernel for you? May be he will do it for free?!

3. May be you should ask Lucas? He may tell you a story about this kernel...

And please don't ****in help me feel better.

Have a nice day! )
[Android General] Satoshii:
Is the new MI UI ver out?:eek: i tried looking in the pages but i got lost :eek: and BTW thanks for the answers...:D
[Android General] northwindtrades:
Yeah I know you're a tester(and a good one at that).I do read and know you're a real contributor,so there is respect.

1)I've read about it but never tried dark lord so honestly I don't know,sorry

2)the kernel was spoonfed here in the beginning by someone from 4pda so was there any need to find anybody else?

3)I've got no way of contacting lucas, so I'll rather take your word for it,just pm me

4)whatever you say

Like a said before ,I nor anyone here knew you guys were paying for it and it was available as free in ftp ,moreover it was shared here(was it you?,I know you're the one who shared recoveryv3 here).I'm sure you know there's a huge communication gap BTW XDA and 4pda.

But was there ever any need to come and rage like that?the lad used what he got and shared without demanding anything back.all people are not alike some are more sensitive and not everybody can pay.I'm sorry if you didn't like my reply and if Lucas doesn't like his kernel being used here(I think it will only give publicity), just let us know I will remove any of my shared files that has his kernel. We won't make a case for the ports that were taken from here.

I'll still stand on my point that andreidi didn't do anything wrong.but if you feel otherwise I'd like to apologize on behalf of this thread.

All Credit Is To Luck@S

Page 2, Post #29:

This is how far back people have been working with Luck@S' kernels and never once took credit. Not once.

No one ever took claim for Luck@S' work. Ever. Without Luck@S we wouldn't be anywhere near where we are today with Lenovo A5000. S/he is THE wo/man, they carried the custom kernel work for this phone and deserve all credit.

I am not familiar with DarkLord nor DarkLord's kernel.

[MENTION=5862131]andreidi[/MENTION] simply posted a TWRP flashable boot.img that contains a custom kernel, and also posted an already ported version of RR 5.7.4 but included that same boot.img, he gave all credit to Luck@S.

[MENTION=7290222]romario_ne[/MENTION] if you donated to Luck@S to have this kernel made specifically for you donators then I'm sorry that Luck@S made it public, all while they had a private folder on their ftp server which they could have made available to only donators by password or something.

As a act of gratitude if Luck@S THEMSELVES are upset

about non-donators using their kernel

then put me in touch with them (Luck@S) immediately, so that I can apologise to them, remove all links to their work, credit and thank them for all the work they have done. If Luck@S is upset

about someone taking credit for their work

then please show me where, but I apologise to Luck@S in advance that someone plagiarised their work.
[Android General] romario_ne:
I`ll try to show you what is a problem... We have a small group of people (about 7) on 4pda forum, who wanted to get a new custom kernel and was ready donate some men/people who can compile this kernel. And there was one teenager, lets call him "Anton", who didn`t want to spent money but wanted to get everything for free. Now he has a VK.com group A5000. By the way he take ROM`s from other phones (maiden by other guys) changing build.prop and sharing as his own.

First of all we found darklord4822 asked him to make a new kernel and about the price of his work. His kernel was available at december 2016 (sorry - I can`t remember correct date). And there was one only trouble - I think you all know it very well! Pink frontal camera. After that we asked darklord4822 to resolve this problem, because it was the problem of the kernel not the ROM, but he said he has a lot of problem and has not free time for this. "Anton" get this kernel for free and started to share new ROM`s, recovery with new kernel on 4pda and vk.com. The first version was shared here too. Try to burn the first version of boot.img you get and look information about your phone and kernel.

Then we ask Luc@s to make this kernel for us again - because he help us already many times (in January 2017). So we donated again to Luc@s and he made a new full-working kernel which was tested by our 4pda-group.

And there would be no problem if you just find this kernel and use it. "Anton" even didn`t know about our cooperation with Luc@s and his english so pure that XDA is not his level for understanding. But you shared this information on 4PDA and now "Anton" get what he wanted and he get it for free as well. Well now he started share new ugly ROM`s and screaming all around "I HAVE RESOLVE PINK CAMERA PROBLEM!!!"

So this is the main problem.

Sorry for my english.

PS. Sorry if my posts before was full of angry!
[Android General] northwindtrades:
You're talking about the guy that got banned from your 4pda group,right?

Andriedi told me he shared it in 4pda but In his defense he didn't know there were ever a guy like that. We're very sorry that it got into the wrong hands,if you are talking about antonproplus@4pda(the guy that got banned) I'm not a big fan of him either.now that we know the problem how can we rectify it?
[Android General] Villain16:
i didnt flash ur patch i just made a boot.img with luck@s kernel and flashed it tht worked for me
[Android General] romario_ne:
Yes! "Anton"=antonproplus@4pda

I think it would be ok to donate Luc@s if you can

And please, if you get some solution - share it just here. As I know many solutions come here from 4pda - no problem. Can you just don`t share on 4pda A5000 theme your achievements. Try to understand us: you put some files there or share some links and then disappear. And we stay there face to face to a hundred of schoolboys who even don`t know what is your patches, links for...

It`s very difficult to explain how to install ROM to a person who know only were is PC "Power" button placed! And we are doing this every day and it is a hard work.

PS. I will ask Luc@as if he want to share his info on XDA.
[Android General] northwindtrades:
I don't even have a 4pda account to share anything there but those who have one,will be asked to not share anything there.

Apologies For Kernel 3.10.103

We understand your English fine, and we want to say that we are sorry for the upset we caused by sharing a link to Luck@S' 3.10.103 custom kernel on 4PDA, it was not our intention to spread private work, we did not know. We only wanted help people fix some problems.

[MENTION=4886266]luckasfb[/MENTION] said:

As they said that they forgot to remove the kernel from FTP, we did not deliberately try to cause harm.

[MENTION=5862131]andreidi[/MENTION] has very kindly edited their Post #1799 and Post #1807 to remove links to Luck@S' 3.10.103 custom kernel. Much respect.

I've edited my post #1796 to mention that the kernel was not meant for public release and I've also edited my signature to include Luck@S' and darklord4822's donation links, so that people - including myself - can donate to them in the future, if they have not already done so.

Finally, I want to once again apologise: [MENTION=4886266]luckasfb[/MENTION], [MENTION=7290222]romario_ne[/MENTION], 4PDA, Мы приносим извинения, мы сожалеем.

MD5 Checksum

I downloaded it and opened it, even extracted it (with WinRAR > Extract Here), no problem. Compared with the one on my computer and its the same.

MD5 Checksum:

81cdb7123c4cc159812de8a467cfaf21 *A5000_S124_151118_ROW.7z

Also uploaded the .md5 checksum file to the Google Drive.

Great lightweight tool to create and calculate checksums from right-click menu: http://code.kliu.org/hashcheck/
[Android General] andreidi:
Thanks, guys. I redownloaded again on another drive and it's working.

I'm trying to figure out why mobile data connection doesn't work on S124 using neither international roaming, nor local network SIM. Sometimes, I've encountered this issue even when not abroad, but after some reboots it eventually worked. APNs are set correctly for both cards, data roaming is on in settings, but when I activate mobile data, there is no H+/3G/E/G on top of the signal icon and, of course, pages do not load in browser. Also, for the local card, when I first insert the SIM, it says mobile network configuration will be sent, please accept it, but there is no accept prompt either, so I had to manually set APN settings. Of course, upgrading to custom ROM might solve the issue, but it's not possible at this time.

Ideas?
[Android General] Eazart:
Somebody should answer me is there Bluetooth and GPS FIX for the Cm13 already? I need the Rom
[Android General] 7awliet:
Network Issues

Nicely done. For extracting stock ROM files (S030, S124, etc.) I use MTK_Extractor_V2.6.3. Works great.

See the second hidden box in my sig: post the first 6 characters of your Wi-Fi Mac Address and first 6 characters of Bluetooth Mac Address. I know these are 3 different radios we're talking about here but - going out on a limb - something tells me that this may also be a NVRAM issue that screws up when flashing ROMs. I hope that you've been making backups of your NVRAM at least, even if you don't backup your ROM itself. Also I hope you've been noting down your Wi-Fi address and BT address everytime you flash a new ROM.

...if backing all that up is a hastle and you just don't care, then at least note down the Wi-Fi address and the BT address of every ROM you flash because those 2 original ones cannot be found written on the Lenovo A5000 box that it came in, where as your original two IMEIs are written on the box.

I did quite a bit of research into this stuff about losing the IMEI and more than half of the people flashing custom ROMs have the same IMEI. Not because these factories in China don't bother to follow protocol (which is a real problem) but because these custom ROMs also overwrite the NVRAM, where the IMEI is stored. I just get the feeling that something else is replaced in the system as well by the custom ROM that isn't restored by flashing the stock ROM. Or that even after flashing the stock ROM the thing that was replaced/newly-added by the custom ROM causes some network issues. A similar example is when flashing stock ROM again with stock kernel and inheriting a touch lag issue that wasn't present in the stock ROM nor stock kernel when you first took the phone out of the box brand new.

Also try comparing every file got to do with networks from S030 and S124, to a custom ROM and try to see what may be configured differently other just APN files. Even if seeing if some files are present/missing/in the wrong places, etc.
[Android General] andreidi:
For the moment, I can't get those numbers, as it's not the case of my personal phone. Also, that phone never had any custom roms on it, only OTA update to S124. Last but not the least, mobile data worked with no issues with the local sim from the mother country, which now is on international roaming. That local card from the mother country always automatically set up APN settings and I saw on my phone that apn-settings.xml contains the settings for this SIM card. But it doesn't contain settings for the local SIM card from the foreign country, so I had them manually set-up.
[Android General] northwindtrades:
Somebody should? ...........

Saw your question before and didn't want to answer it.

That cm13(beta) was uploaded ages ago,GPS fixes came out since then but never a Bluetooth fix since it got fixed with newer ROMs, and I'm sure there are newer cm13 for this device in which GPS and Bluetooth works well,why you're so interested in a beta build I don't know.

And I'm pretty sure camera doesn't work well in it either

[Android General] andreidi:
I am still trying to figure out what to do in order to disable volume boosting as it distorts like hell on my phone speaker. Also, in-call audio on earpiece is very low (lower than stock) and it's driving me crazy: RR 5.7.4 with 3.4.67 kernel was so loud and clear and vol_fix.zip fixed the distortion. But I have no damn idea what's the file responsible for all this in RR 5.7.4 with 3.10.103 kernel. vol_fix.zip doesn't do any change and I don't know why. It modifies some files in NVRAM. I also tried to use the NVRAM from RR 5.7.4 with kernel 3.10.103 but didn't work either. It's driving me crazy because I can't even have a normal conversation on phone without asking the other person to constantly repeat or talk louder.

Most guides say to find "mixerpath.xml" in system, "system/etc/sound" folder etc. but none of these are present on our RR 5.7.4 doesn't matter the kernel as it's absent on all versions.

Should I look in the kernel itself for clues or what?

[Android General] andreidi:
Tried it now, not working. Nothing changed even if I delete the whole "nvram" folder from "root/data". I think it's the "libcustom_nvram.so" that doesn't take those files into account when setting up volume. But whatever "libcustom_nvram.so" I put instead of the stock one (S030, S124, RR 5.7.4 3.4.67), after reboot, there is no more sound/network. It would have been damn easy just to copy all the files from RR 5.7.4 3.4.67 to the RR 5.7.4 3.10.103, because in RR 3.4.67:

1) sound into earpiece during call is loud and clear

2) vol_fix.zip works like a charm to disable volume gain.

Unless someone can tell me how can I edit an .so file, I don't think it will be possible to fix the volume. I will try some reverse engineering, as the .so files are binary.

Wow wow wow looks like ive been gone for a long time

I figured that there is some misunderstanding about luckas kernal being free or not

But can someone please explain if there is a rom fixed from following bugs with latest kernal:

-Front cam

-Sd or internal not showing up

-No sim card

And sorry for LuckAs if we took a kernal we shouldn't

[MENTION=7523876]7awliet[/MENTION], [MENTION=7387201]northwindtrades[/MENTION]: Any new ideas what to look for in order to fix high volume on speaker and low volume in earpiece when calling? The existent fixes (vol_fix.zip, Spiker_volume_patch.zip) don't make any difference under 3.10.103. Is there any possibility that the bootimg itself may be responsible for this? Or I shouldn't even bother trying to look in bootimg for this.

[MENTION=7387201]northwindtrades[/MENTION] the VK group has released today CM 14.1 with android 7.1.1 for our device.have you tested it and is it stable or have a lot if bugs

PS: do you have a link for front camera fix for RR 4.5.7

New kernel for CM14 is ugly. It is darklord kernel and camera bugs is a trademark of his kernels. Don't even try to fix it. Don't waste your time.

PS. There is no stable CM14 version yet. So if you want godd and stable - use CM13.

4.5.7? No idea, click show content in my signature,click the link and find yourself complete camera fix by WAC perang. And no I haven't tested it,take romario_ne's word for it,besides I would stay way from that vk group.
[MENTION=5862131]andreidi[/MENTION] not a clue ,besides aren't editable audio files in system folder only for Qualcomm devices?

about sim card not showing isn't fixed for me

i tried the above method which is

roll to 4.4 from 5 then put recovery with last kernel which i got from vk then flash what rom you want with last kernel

but still no sim

sd and internal fixed

front cam still pink ish
[Android General] northwindtrades:
Edit: never mind ..... Got rash
[Android General] andreidi:
Yes, our devices don't have mixerpaths.xml, but I looked upon vol_fix and spiker_patch to see what are they doing: they are replacing files in NVRAM, but they are binary files so no direct editing possible. I tried to replace the files from various ROMs, but to no extent. I also tried replacing system/lib libaudioxxx...xxx.so files and files from system/lib/hw and system/lib/soundfx, but either it doesn't work, or I lose any audio functionality of the phone...

I mostly wanted to replace the files from RR 5.7.4 kernel 3.4.67 because sound was awesome on that build after applying vol_fix.zip (speaker volume was normal, no amplification, lock/unlock sounds were normal, which is silent than ringtones for example and earpiece volume was higher than stock, I could hear the other person very good). But I couldn't find a way to do it.

But still the Rom is Smooth Cool.....

I want to make a link request.. Patch for Laggy Touch screen for Ur ( K.K)

THANKS TO THE WHOLE TEAM WORKING ON THIS WONDERFUL FIRMWAREs God Bless You All
[Android General] andreidi:
Is this the ROM you tried: https://vk.com/lenovo_a5k?w=wall-111995812_3247/all ? If not, try it, as I think it has gapps integrated and contacts working. For vibration fix of capacitive buttons, see previous pages, I made a patch for this. For the internal memory and sd card at the same time with default apps for internal memory, also see the same pages.

But I truly recommend RR over CM.
[Android General] Villain16:
Make a backup of your nvram through mtk droidtools and then copy the .bin file in ur mtkrools>nvram backup folder to the stock kitkat firmware directory and rename the .bin file to nvram.bin. Edit your scatter file with notepad++. Search for nvram there will be line like:

" partition_index: SYS4

partition_name: NVRAM

file_name: NONE

is_download: false''

change false to true and flash through sp flash tool. Just load scatter file uncheck every option except nvram and chose the nvram.bin(the backup you created) in sp flash tool and download it through sp flash tool this will fix things hopefully also first upgrade to lollipop firmware then roll back to kitkat and the rest procedure you know:good:
