Hello Hussein. Aniket here
[Android General] northwindtrades:
[MENTION=5862131]andreidi[/MENTION] to answer your other question kemo(op) is busy to edit them and I can't just ask a moderator to edit someone else's post just like that;)
[Android General] andreidi:
OK. I understand.

Any information about newest RR Remix 5.7.4 for A5000? I read there are ports for other Lenovo units...
[Android General] bronozoj:
no matter what i try here, gps never works on resurrection remix. Everything else works in this good rom except that ****ing gps! I am at a loss and ive done everything on this thread yet the gps never responds. Is there any other way to do it? The automated script was cool stuff though. Ive been trying to port myself to no avail until ive found your script. Though my stock rom version was a bit different than stock because of mobile carrier customizations. Would that affect the gps in any way? Should I flash generic stock first before flashing rr?
[Android General] northwindtrades:
I have a portable RR 5.7.4 in hand but I'm not gonna be able to do it anytime soon. androidowl54 said he ported it ,ask him to share and if doesn't I'll do it in the weekend when I can get my hands on my pc:)

---------- Post added at 12:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:54 PM ----------

That's surprising, GPS works fine for me ,download that app called GPS test and see if you can get any 3-d fix .no need for flashing stock unless you were on another kernel version.
[Android General] bronozoj:
Well, trying again. I do have a "clear view of the sky" as it can lock when on stock but when i try flashing it, it suddenly stays unable to get a fix even if i refresh agps data. Don't i need to copy any additional files from my stock to get the gps working?
[Android General] northwindtrades:
Not really as they are embedded in the ROM .first lock did take like 5-11 seconds for me.
[Android General] bronozoj:
Tried not running patch-script.. now gps works! first signal lock took 3 seconds!

But since I didn't patch for camera, its not working (as expected)

I've seen the xposed solution.. and i would like it if it weren't for pokemon go which requires me to remove xposed and hide my root. Could i just simply copy the files from the patch or do i also have to flash boot too?
[Android General] northwindtrades:
Copy and replace the files for the fix and no need for boot again,the xposed only works as a stabilizer once the camera is fixed
[Android General] rookiesan23:
what do you mean by flash tool(is in the archive)? sorry new here...I'm here to hard reset my phone A5000 as I can't factory reset it using the settings only. I'm planning to reinstall the official firmware.

What to do first? please help me.:crying::crying:
[Android General] northwindtrades:
Its an exe file used to flash official firmware by PC.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=67619328&postcount=1029 read this ,you need to follow this "if you're on lp " tab
[Android General] bronozoj:
tried simply copying the files from the camera fix included in the porting scripts. camera still doesn't work though..

am i missing other files, or should i flash boot.img included in the camera fix folder?
[Android General] northwindtrades:
Simply copying files do work ,but copy files from RR 5.6.8. Cam fix instead,the cam fix in porting script has less files .
[Android General] bronozoj:
Camera is now working :) thank you very much

Is it just me or does it really take time to connect to mobile networks? (though text and call works fine)
[Android General] andydor:
I have a link of minimal os v3 with kernel 3.10.54. Can anybody port it?
[Android General] 7awliet:
Cam Fix Bundled With Porting Scripts

The reason the provided Cam & OTG fix files (provided with the porting script) are less than the original fix files is because the original fix had files that would "replace" files that were identical to them. They didn't fix nor replace anything. They made no sense whatsoever to include them. They just took up space. In fact including them would take me over the 20Mb attachment limit and make the porting scripts zip about 21Mb.

The problem some people face is that they don't wipe cache and dalvik cache before & after applying the fixes.
[Android General] DanielMStef:
Torch problem

I found another problem, torch from notification don't work and i installed a application for flashlight but say "your device don't support flashlight" or something like that. Just on camera app flash work.
[Android General] spirto82:
I am sorry, but I am a bit lost here. I have my brother's in law A5000 and I want to revert it to KK. Does the phone have to be rooted? I 've read on the first post, that I have to flash the KK rom via flashtool. Is there any guide for the flashTool? I have never used it ....

there might be

Thanks in Advnace!
[Android General] northwindtrades:
I used files from the other fix on a new substratum ROM "zephyr" and got bootloop but I used the one in yours and it booted fine but camera don't work even after cache wiping (before and after):confused:.I think there's one or two files like camera service.so for the camera to work,in here the camera opens and then closes ,replacing more files caused bootloop,I'll look more into it next weekend:highfive:

That's a bug in cm12.1, third party worked for me so I've never tried to fix it.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=67619328&postcount=1029

Again you'll need to follow the "if youre on lp tab"

This was posted in the previous page ,surprised you didn't see it:p
[Android General] spirto82:
Thanks. I saw it, but I got confused with the Recovery tutorial part in the end. As I do not own this phone, I am unfamiliar with all these ....

And something more if you or anyone else can help. Is the final step mandatory (Recovery tutorial)? Do I have to install TWRP (If I select all files there should be a RECOVERY - I guess the official one by lenovo)?
[Android General] robkumag:
RR GPS

I've been in the same situation as you man. Tried all kinds of stuff to make GPS work. Only GPS not working and the minor bug were you need to put it on airplane mode to get 3g to work.

End result. Reverted to Original Lollipop version. GPS working great again.

I'm looking forward for the day when I can install RR in my A5000 and GPS is working.
[Android General] northwindtrades:
The thing is the updated touch drivers of lollipop just stays there so when you're on KitKat you'll have touch lag. so you'll need to flash custom recovery and a custom kernel .this unfornutaly comes with enforced dtw(can't be turned off)

So completely flash stock ,then flash twrp and then custom kernel luck@s 3.4.67
[Android General] spirto82:
So, to get this straight. I need to follow most of the steps:

Firstly, the step for lollipop.

Then, Install TWRP, Root the device and flash a Kernel, in order to have the flashed KK rom operational. Am I right?

If this is the case, then I have one more question.... which kernel is most supported for the official KK rom?

Thanks again.

edit: found this LuckAs-kernel. Hopefully it will work
[Android General] Maesanity:
Hello, i downloaded and installed RR 5.5.9 v2 on my phone, work fine but with my last reboot, i can access settings, it force closes. I downloaded the settings fix on the first page but still no succes. Any other fixes for this problem? Thank you very much for your time:D:D
[Android General] willy90:
It same like my case before,,but the problem is solved,you have to download setting fix from this link http://www.mtkroms.com/2016/03/final-resurrection-remix-bugless-mt6582.html?m=1 and then marger(not replace) with your framework folder in flashable RR 5.5.9 v2.zip,,reflash your RR 5.5.9 v2.zip done,, :)

Thanks to elbana10 someone who helped me for it,
[Android General] jkjones:
I am using RR 5.7.4 with working GPS, OTG is accessible by using ES file explorer. I got it from Lenovoa5000 philippines Facebook group.
[Android General] Maesanity:
Any bugs so far dude? Would you mind sharing the link?
[Android General] iachimo011:
I don't know what happened on my phone. I tried to flashed magisk and now it's not opening. I tried to go recovery and it just vibrate and not showing anything. What can I do to fix it. T_T
[Android General] northwindtrades:
Didn't think it was this easy,I found this earlier at mtkroms when you asked for a fix but I thought this was supposed to be integrated into the framework-res.apk by decompiling it(apktool) which is what I usually do , and I didn't wanna make you go through that tedious process.anyway glad that you've found a workaround for this and thanks for sharing it in the thread.

At least it vibrates,flash stock ROM using sp flash tool.

---------- Post added at 03:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:45 PM ----------

We've narrowed down the main bugs to VPN and sometimes 2g/3g switch .look at 7awliets last post :p,it's got link for two RR 5.7.4 ROMs ,the one in x7customroms will be the same as the one in the lenovo Facebook group .
[Android General] Maesanity:
Thank you so much :D no problems so far, but i cant change my ringtone. even if i pick anything else, its always the same ringtone
[Android General] northwindtrades:
Haven't tried it yet. But if you're dead set on changing it

Enable root on file manager and edit build.prop located in system folder.

Replace these

ro.config.notification_sound=xx.ogg

ro.config.alarm_alert=xx.ogg

ro.config.ringtone=xx.ogg

Replace these "xx" with your desired tone name

And again no need to say thanks ,just click on the thanks button/thumbs up icon at the bottom of my post instead

Now the followings at everyone

camera in marshmallow roms

Camera crash while shooting pictures can be significantly reduced if camera sound is disabled,also speed of taking pics is increased.

app installation

There a few complaints about this.

Something's (I didn't care to find out exactly what) is wrong with the build.prop of some roms thereby making some apps/gapps package incompatible with our device.

I'll share it when I figure it out.

Boot logos

There are some neat bootlogo which replaces the powered by android ,lenovo screen

With miui,cyanogenmod etc.. In 4pda
[Android General] northwindtrades:
Miui 8.0.1.0

This ROM has android version 6.0.1 marshammlow instead of the usual 4.4.x

You can get many good upgrades for this ROM in lenovo a5k patches shared by 7awliet

Edit: just downloaded this and took a look at the built.prop and the SDK no. Is 19 so it isn't mm it only looks like its based on marshmallow.
[Android General] macranjoh:
So... does it work?
[Android General] northwindtrades:
Yes it does although i dont get why you would ask that, and the patch link is in previous page:o
[Android General] metalgodz:
I tried this on my Lollipop base a5000. Haha Thought it will work. It didn't.

it's for kitkat only right?
[Android General] northwindtrades:
Only for KitKat kernel 3.4.67
[Android General] macranjoh:
Guys i need your help my pc is now not recognizing my phone. i tried different cables but it still does not work :( :( :(
[Android General] northwindtrades:
How did you his happen? Pls be more specific does it chargr does it vibrates etc .... and no need to worry this phones can be unbricked;)
[Android General] macranjoh:
I don't know how it happened though... But I think it is after I flashed back to RR 5.7.1 from RR 5.7.3 (or MIUI 8 idk)

The phone is still working. My only concern is it doesn't connect to any pc/laptop even using different cables. It just charges itself. :crying::crying::crying:
[Android General] northwindtrades:
Confused here,so your problem is a bricked phone that won't turn on or just that everything's working fine you're not able to connect to PC/laptop?

Your phones drivers installed correctly?

Os the USB mode in charging only ?
[Android General] macranjoh:
Okay here's the thing (sorry for the confusion)

My phone's working fine

i'm pretty sure the phone's drivers are installed correctly

The USB mode thingy doesn't even pop up when I connect to the PC and it just charges itself

Thanks for the help though ;u;
[Android General] northwindtrades:
Mmm ,well there's your problem sometimes when connected via USB it's default is set at charge only and the option to change it doesn't show up.

You've got get to get that thing to show up somehow try any of these

1)try clearing the settings app data/cache

2)turn off then turn on USB debugging then try again

3)clear data /cache in recovery mode

4)flash the firmware again and start from scratch

Good luck

Edit: forgot to say sometimes a normal reboot fixes this.
[Android General] metalgodz:
Any other solution to no command error when flashing to twrp recovery mode?
[Android General] metalgodz:
Solution solve by me. Hahaha.
[Android General] engrga:
hey! you guys got a lot of threads here so pardon me if im lazy to read all those. :) I am interested which custom rom is the most stable? (stable and supports OTG :)) And how to flash it safely and correctly. Thank you very much! :) (ive read your past convos but theres a bug in every custom rom i would like to know which one is the most stable thank you)
[Android General] northwindtrades:
Everything you need is listed in this

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=69044609&postcount=1540

And we only got one thread here :p

Check the proper guide link and for roms you have to try on your own to see what fits you best most users use RR 5.7.x

Miui 8,cm12.1,rr5.5.9

Edit: every custom ROM has a couple of bugs which can't be fixed ,Android 6 roms have VPN bugs and sometimes 3g/2g switch and the Android 5 versions has the VPN bug

too , if you don't like bugs stick with the official firmware or roms with 3.10.54 kernel roms like LP prime since they have least bugs (keep in mind that Roms with 3.10.54 drain battery much faster)
[Android General] engrga:
Thank you for the quick response! :)

Conversations i mean. :) which rom are you using? which rom supports otg, longer battery life, w/ gps and camera these are what i am looking in a rom. :) and sorry if i dont understand the link that you shared it says here that cam fixes most fixes what does that mean? thank you! :)
[Android General] northwindtrades:
Cam fix- includes more files that fixes the camera

Most fixes - other fixes like GPS,audio,YouTube quality etc...

Battery is pretty good for all roms with kernel 3.4.67 which is shared more here

I'm using miui 8.0.1.0 ,been using cm13,RR 5.7.3 before .all are pretty good and supports what you need.

Look for RR 5.7.4 it supports otg accessible through es file explorer (you can find it in x7customroms ,I also gave the link for that)

And I'm sorry for the confusion I'll keep on editing it so it can be comprehensive
[Android General] ongandrew2:
i have installed rr 5.7.4 but i have no contacts app, and when downloading on the app store it take some time sometimes but sometimes its fast is that normal sorry just new to this
[Android General] filderge:
Link to stock 4.4 is dead

Stock 5.0 is corrupted, scatter file is not recognized by flashtool. Please fix this, thank you!
[Android General] northwindtrades:
Contact app missing is surprising ,try to extract a cm13/RR 5.7.x ROM and get the app from it or you could Google for a flashable cm13 contact app zip that can be flashed from twrp.

Slow download is normal for the first time but not later on.

Added official builds

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=69044609&postcount=1540
[Android General] ongandrew2:
should i install everything like xposed and supersu for the rom to work properly? cause i always install gapps only and sometimes camera fix to fix the cam and thats all. your right theres a contact app but it didn't install i don't know why i have checked it in the zip its there but it didn't install anyway to make it work so that i could reflash it on my other phone?
[Android General] northwindtrades:
No, just gapps fine ,did you go ahead and tried to install that extracted apk?if no the try it or look for a flash able file for the app.

Edit: minor bug,we have problem switching sim and 3g/2g connection ,you may have to toggle airplane mode on or off or even may have to reboot for it to work

As for the carrier logo ,I'll see if I can find a the stock carrier logo ,did you check SP flash tool and see if it can be used to flash stock bootlogo,it's sometime I opened up spft and don't remember much
[Android General] ongandrew2:
i just reflashed my phone will see if its there if not then i'm gonna install the contacts.apk file, but its weird why didn't it install by itself? it should be automatic right? another question i have a carrier logo apearing before the rr boot animation is there a way to remove the carrier logo? i just want the original lenovo boot up and don't want the carrier logo thnx

PS. it worked.(the contacts i just installed its apk) and another question i don't know if my provider is the problem or what i can't seem to use my data to browse the internet its taking so long to be able to get 3g on sim1 but on sim2 when i click it then i'm on 3g is it sim related or just a minor bug
[Android General] ongandrew2:
i have been reading threads after thread on how to increase ram would it really increase it and would apps run smoothly?

How do you flash official rom? just like the custom rom use twrp? wipe all?
[Android General] northwindtrades:
1) virtual RAM do work ,it's speed and efficiency dedpend on the swapfile created and write speed of the storage ,but andrpid's RAM management is already well organised and has no need for a swap file ,if you have a storage with good write speed try it does make games run smoothly

2)no, you flash official firmware through SP flash tool

About RR 5.7.4,I didn'tunderstand a few things:

1) Do I need to flash KK S030 first then TWRP 3.0 then install 5.7.4 zip? If yes, should I use official S030 with touch lag or the ffixed S030? Also flashing LuckAs kernel is a must?

2) Which version of 5.7.4 is better: the one from 4pda or the other?
[Android General] northwindtrades:
1) all you need to know is that you need to be on 3.4.67 kernel for successful flashing of 3.4.67 ROMs

2)haven't tried both to be sure but I'm thinking both are pretty much the same
[Android General] andreidi:
Thanks for your answer. It's great they chose to use the old KK kernel because, from what I've read, it doesn't take up as much battery as the LL one and seems to be more stable.

I tested RR 5.7.4 a little and seems great but:

1) I didn't find the noise reduction option in call settings, it may be activated by default but I couldn't tell for sure.

2) Sound in internal ear speaker is a little bit weird and distorted, especially when at max volume.
[Android General] northwindtrades:
The lp kernel is more stable and faster but you're right about the battery problem,that along with the messed up lp google play services update drains up your battery big time:mad: of we're using the lp kernel with another android version say marshmallow it will be more bearable.

The sound in the ROM and particularly cyanogen's eleven music is made to be like that so as to give more sound output ,so its only natural for the sound to start distorting at higher levels.I'm not sure about the noise reduction in calls ,sorry
[Android General] bronozoj:
can the files in the porting script or rr 5.7.3 be used to port the latest cm13? Im going for low ram usage so im not using rr or temasek (on marshmallow)

or do i have to modify boot.img differently for it?
[Android General] Boompane:
Which resurrection remix is best?

There are many versions of rr are here in the thread so i wonder which is best to use. And what are the things i should do to flash it coreectly? And i also wonder about those kernels, should i also flash those? Hehe sorry for that question. ?
