FAQ

​

I flashed this "xxxx" ROM and now its not booting past the lenovo logo

There's thing called the kernel which basically talks with the phones hardwares ,the lenovo a5k has two kernel versions 3.4.67 and 3.10.54.ROMs made for a certain kernel will not work on other kernel version.you either have to upgrade/downgrade to lollipop(3.10.54)/KitKat(3.4.67) respectively

I'm trying to flash this "xxx" but im getting error 7

Don't wipe everything before flashing a custom ROM,just do a normal factory reset i,e clear data,dalvik and cache

should the lucky kernel be flashed again after flashing a custom ROM

If you've downgraded to KitKat and is experiencing touch lag go ahead and flash it.

The kernel is already embedded in the custom roms shared here(exept for aicp11),so why should you flash it yet again

7awliets porting script

*If you want to use it simply follow the instructions provided

*can you use it for porting other ROMs directly?

Nop you can't ,it's only for the ROM its meant to port, you'll have to modify it before it can be used for porting ROMs

please ask for permission and give credits to the original devs,stealing others work and then taking credit for it is the number one reason why so many devs stopped developing

*can the files inside of it be used to port other ROMs?

Yes ,if the camera is not working as its meant to then replace the files from the original RR 5.6.8 camera fix by Wac Perang.

can the modded boot.IMG of other ROM be used for porting other ROMs

The answer is mostly yes. Some aosp ROMs(eg validus...) may have different ramdisk files though ,so this case you may get a bootloop.but if you're trying to port a cyanogen based eg(RR,Temasek,cyanogen"xx"etc...)ROM you won't be getting this problem.

which ROM or which version of it is better

A very subjective question so I can't answer it completely most users here use RR 5.7.4 ,cm13,cm12.1,RR 5.5.9, miui7 and miui8 you'll have to try and choose for yourself

are we working on android N

Eek:eek: sounds like work. Theres already an android N build for our device out with kernel version 3.10.54

Ril is unstable and so is vedio decoding so wait for a stable build

I flashed this "XXX" ROM and now I'm getting boot animation in loop

Use twrp version 3 or twrp 2.8.7.stay from other twrp like 2.8.1 ,2.8.5 etc...

otg

Our device started getting otg from the s029 updates onwards officially.

Otg is accessible via es file explorer in our custom toms as well.

More will be added soon

Camera

Everyone here who uses marshmallow ROMs know that despite the camera being fixed its still buggy and crashes occasionally ,I've found the problem to be the sound. I've taken a lot of photos and the camera hasn't crashed not even once:cowboy:

To turn off the sound

Enable root in file manager

Go to system folder->media->audio->ui

Now rename the files like cameraclick.ogg to cameraclick.ogg.bak(alternative is to delete it but this way you can restore by renaming it back)

Files needed to be renamed is a)cameraclick.ogg b)camera focus.ogg c)vediorecord.ogg d) vediostop.ogg

Good luck

I don't know if this has been posted before: RR 5.7.4 for A5000 - Security Patch Level 5th October 2016: http://mega.nz/#!9xUWBYDQ!Hu6fuDD-isAIYhl_lwetoTd_mEq3gg2H3ulmIELeeqY

Tested it myself, no bugs at all: GPS, 3G, Camera working with no need to patch anything.

This ROM also has the plain Android Browser, which is very fast and neat. Why stock ROMs didn't ever contain this for a long time? It has been there on my S6312 stock JellyBean, but never saw it on newer phones/stock ROMs...

One question about camera patch for older RR versions: what does it fix (stock camera not working at all without this patch or it fixes crashes or other stuff)? Thanks.

Also, has anyone tried this to set SD card as default memory: http://unitsolution.blogspot.ro/2016/04/use-sd-card-as-default-storage-in-cm-13.html? I saw RR 5.7.4 has support for setting sd card as internal memory, but this formats the card and you cannot use it for music, pictures anymore...

Gapps

Ive tried this rom and works perfectly fine! But when it comes to gapps that i used it crashes. Can you share the gapps you used? Or anybody here where can i get gapps that is compatible to this rom? Thank you very much!
[Android General] andreidi:
I used A-GAPPS for 6.0.1 latest from here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24591000424961929.

I did the following:

1) flash official S030 with touchpad lag bug, then right away flash latest luckas kernel with sp flash tool

2) boot normally wait until finish, copy rr.zip and a-gapps zip to card and power off.

3) flashed twrp 3.0 with sp flash tool

4) booted in twrp, wipe data/cache/dalvik

5) install rr.zip then install a-gapps zip then immediately wipe dalvik/cache and reboot.

I tried flashing s030 with fixed touch lag instead of stock and flashing luckas kernel afterwards, but i get bootloop when flashing rr and g-apps.

Also i have a question. I have tempered glass on my screen and sometimes my 3 bottom capacitive buttons stop working. Because rr lacks mtk engineering mode, i found the tpd_em_pressure_threshold with root explorer and edited manually from 0 to 100 and now the issue is fixed. But when i reboot, the file gets overwritten with default 0 value so the problem still occurs. Does anyone have any idea how to prevent this file from being overwritten at boot? Setting it to read only doesn't help at all. Or maybe there is a solution to automatically reedit the file at each boot with the desired value...

Unfortunately google play services stopped always pops up. Thats the same problem i encountered in the two gapps i flased so i asked about your gapps but still it pops up and it irritates me. What should i do?

[Android General] northwindtrades:
Leave the phone alone for a couple of hours and trying flashing again. The alternative is to remove the battery and put it back but we have a non removable battery so try the latter.

Tell me how it goes if its still bricked we can manually connect in meta mode and flash our firmware.this phone can unbricked in any case
[Android General] metalgodz:
Phone is already ok. Battery Removal is effective.

when i Powered on the device it boot up. Rom is Flash. Don't Know what Happen why i encountered that Problem.
[Android General] andreidi:
I am sorry, I didn't know about it. Anyway, I've managed to fix this by reflashing everything again, guess there was an unknown cause.

Also, when I reflashed, I flashed S030 with LuckAs kernel over the existing RR and this got me with no mobile network carrier name, just numbers. I will reflash stock Lollipop then restore Lollipop backup with full original NVRAM, then start from scratch because there is something wrong with NVRAM or else.

You have 10+ posts, type screen recorder in the search bar on the right or click http://xdaforums.com/search/thread/3316677?query=screen recorder

---------- Post added at 08:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:10 PM ----------

Many people see the numbers. It's their network's ID number. There can be problems with NVRAM but I don't think this is solely because of that, or even due to that at all.

It's got to do with adding your network's name in the list of network ID's. Cannot remember which file you have to edit.

[Android General] northwindtrades:
What's the error being printed and what version of twrp are using? What did you wipe before flashing?
[Android General] Villain02:
In TWRP before flashing a rom unmount your system, data and cache. That will be probably fix it if its error 7 otherwise you should check mount points in updater-script..
[Android General] Eazart:
I used V2.8.7.0 errors was having something like Sym/ink..... Cnt remember will use version 3 to try
[Android General] northwindtrades:
Twrp 3 clears data much faster than 2.8.7 I got symlink error when I did a full wipe before flashing.I got it fixed by flashing stock(or other ROM that didn't give this error ) and only doing a factory reset before flashing.Only wipe data,cache and dalvik before flashing older ROMs like cm12.1.

[Android General] andreidi:
Did anyone encountered the missing carrier name issue after flashing a custom ROM? It only shows numbers and this can be seen in notification drawer in the subtext of data connection icon. My RR 5.7.4 shows "22605" instead of "Digi.Mobil". I read about "spn-conf.xml", but I couldn't find it in "system/etc" of the RR 5.7.4, but it's there in stock LL. I also tried copying it from stock LL ROM, but I get error with Root Explorer (even with mount R/W) and also in TWRP File Manager with System mounted as RW... Any ideas?
[Android General] 7awliet:
Again, I'm sure this one fixed by someone. Google for "spn-conf.xml" got me some interesting results. Anyway, I think you already have the fix but it's a problem of placing the file into the \system\etc\ folder.

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2/general/how-to-fix-instead-network-carriers-t1370437

In my RR 5.7.3 Porting Script, I added some extra files that I believed many others had left out mistakenly or by intention (also by mistake :p), but I also overlooked \system\etc\ like they did and didn't include a spn-conf.xml file - which can have override parameters.

Seeing some other porting methods for Lollipop I can see that this .xml file would be needed.

I've attached the spn-conf.xml (zipped) files from both stock KitKat (S030) and stock Lollipop (S124). This simply needs to be placed in \system\etc\ and chmod 777 or even 755 would be enough I think, and then just reboot.

Now, I know you're getting some mount error but I haven't got time to look into that right now (sorry), so instead I included flashable zips (...patch.zip) that include Lenovo's SPN v0.5 (S030) and Lenovo's SPN v1.9 (S124).

BUT I copied a update-binary from one of the cam fixes and used that..... SO unless [MENTION=7387201]northwindtrades[/MENTION] can confirm whether the size of the update-binary matters then all should be good to go. Also you may wanna inspect the updater-script to make sure haven't overlooked anything in my edit.

WARNING: I'm not taking ANY blame if you brick your stuff.
[Android General] 7awliet:
Also [MENTION=5862131]andreidi[/MENTION], your network (22605) in v0.5 (S030) is named as "Digi" and in v1.9 (S124) it's named as "Digi.Mobil.".
