Hi, i just flash the A5000_S030_150713_ROW [Kitkat] ROM

anyone experienced with GMail and other Gapps Force Closed?

cuse i got my Gmail force closed
[Android General] northwindtrades:
I downloaded the update too and I'm gonna port for myself later and the critical errors I got in logcat were mostly related to the camera flash . just have to learn those stuff so I can fix the camera flash
[Android General] Pher-:
Good luck fixing it, I'm rooting for it to get fixed :) I don't know stuff and how to read logcats properly
[Android General] northwindtrades:
Any link other than mega , admin ?
[Android General] HarlequinUA:
Yes, dat ROM has the same problem

And i dont know how to fix it too :(

Waiting fo RR 5.6.8
[Android General] northwindtrades:
the aicp ROM uploaded by kemo has working camera on flash? Anyone tested it yet:rolleyes:
[Android General] HarlequinUA:
Hm... I can test it but, its a new ROM? Or its dat ROM what was uploaded earlier with bad kernel? If its new - i can

Its old ROM
[Android General] northwindtrades:
It's a dffrt one

Also know how to fix errors regarding libc ?

It's causing the camera flash error I think
[Android General] HarlequinUA:
Are you sure about "dffrt one"?

Cos... the same links
[Android General] northwindtrades:
Well the porters name is different ,that's why.

You don't have to bother yourself then.
[Android General] Pher-:
I dont know that much stuff with libs, but hey good news R Remix 5.6.8 is stable on our phone with LuckAs Kernel 3.4.67. The LuckAs Kernel doesnt work on AICP Thats why I used the stock, I'll be uploading the ROM later. Still the same flash bug.

My real name is Juspher Pedrozo, I posted it on Facebook and Kemo said he will post it here and used my real name.
[Android General] northwindtrades:
That's my bad :angel:

Sorry HarlequinA
[Android General] Pher-:
Anyway, I wonder why is the camera with flash is the only bug in the MM Roms for our phone. While everything else works fine, I guess we need to replace something in libs.
[Android General] HarlequinUA:
The same opinion

Qwerty@ np bro :D

And lol guys

My friend just tried Lukas kernel on AICP... Working :D

https://yadi.sk/d/sx1Vof2ppusWM

Its a boot with new kernel for AICP from my friend. Who can try it?
[Android General] babigabi:
I flashed AICP Rom tested, and along a some bugs, camera does`nt work at all. Than I tried with camera fix for RR by Byseby and after a few shots camera failed again. Gapps works. Also there is a lots a bugs I dont stayed to count them because I quickly uninstalled the rom

All we need to do now is fix Camera. Everything works perfectly on my RR 5.6.8 Port. Except for Camera that is :P

it was about AICP Rom that I tested not Resurrection Remix 5.6.8 :)

I know, that reply wasnt meant to your reply but AICP or RR camera is still broken :silly:

Latest LuckAs Kernel for AICP and RR 5.6.8, already replaced needed lines in the ramdisk of the Kernel so just flash it with SP Flash Tool just like I did and you're good to go.
[Android General] 9jabasewap:
I will be happy if someone can port Miui 7 base on MM for our phone.... Miui ROM is simple great n bugless to d call.
[Android General] Rom developer2022:
Guys what's the best stable ROM now, I have RR 5.1.1
[Android General] northwindtrades:
Failed to fix the camera ,sorry guys:(

Anyway the errors I found are

1)critical errors

libc unable to find page record - its there in every mm based ROM uploaded here,might or may not add to battery drain as it occurs frequently.

2)camera

A)Sensors report error when taking picture

B)Invalid preview resolution

Things I haven't tried

1)libcameraservice

2)libcamerametadata

3)libcmaeraclient

I thought editing the flashfocus permission in camera could help but it didn't work.

Above errors are out of my league ,maybe someone can make something out of it.
[Android General] Pher-:
Damn, I guess we have to live with dark photos. But hey atleast we tried (mostly Qwerty@ Kudos to him). Atleast the flashlight tile works, thats all I need since I'm not that much photogenic.
[Android General] northwindtrades:
Any kk/lp based ROM are stable but poor audio output

Mm based ROM have grt audio but camera crashes when flash is on

---------- Post added at 10:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:06 AM ----------

Haha sure you don't mean that ,but let's stop none of the errors in log are that directly linked to camera flash so its not our fault .let's hope it will get fixed with the weekly ota
[Android General] Rom developer2022:
So I should stick with RR 5.1.1 now right ?
[Android General] northwindtrades:
Yes until someone figure out the camera problem

Chances are high the GPS and camera will be fixed by the weekly ota updates by ajith from mtk for RR marshmallow.

And we can add the changes to other mm based ROM like aicp
[Android General] Rom developer2022:
OK but can I ask you a favor I want to make a ROM for a tablet And its not mtk any help ?

[Android General] MithunSanthikumar:
Hi Qwerty@ , For every single rom listed here needs the phone to be downgraded to Kitkat, Can you please tell me

I cant download that much size file, even if i did it would stop automatically at some time and the zip file will be unusable,

Which newly listed roms can be flashed by completely wiping the phone from Stock Lollipop

Q : Does backup also contains IMEI , so that i can restore it ?

Q : Which options should i wipe So my IMEI no. wont be lost ?
[Android General] northwindtrades:
1)You won't lose your imei if you wipe

2) phone usually don't boot if you install from stock lollipop but try ur luck(any stable ROM say cm12.1 ,octos,..etc)

3)you only need to wipe data,cache and dalvik wiping others is not required

Edit: you do normal wipe(data,cache ,dalvik) and flash from stock lp chances are low you will experience problems
[Android General] MithunSanthikumar:
What about RR 5.5.9 and 5.6.7, are they good. This is my primary device i use it regularly
[Android General] northwindtrades:
I barely know porting from mtk.

RR 5.6.7 has bugs especially with camera but the other versions good
[Android General] Pher-:
Well I use my RR 5.6.8 in the previous comments, its all good just flash the LuckAs Kernel in my previous comment too if you want it to become more stable. No bugs so far except for the camera and flash (but the flashlight tile works so no problem for me).
[Android General] MithunSanthikumar:
So Camera fix for RR 5.6.7 listed in the post doesn't work ?
[Android General] Pher-:
Also taking pic with no flash and video recording with no flash works perfectly, Camera with flash is the problem. Flashlight works in the notifications drawer.

---------- Post added at 11:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:42 AM ----------

It works but taking a pic or vid with flash makes the camera crash like my 5.6.8 Port.
[Android General] northwindtrades:
Partly ,the camera crashes when you take a picture with flash on[/QUOTE]

---------- Post added at 10:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:43 AM ----------

We'll leave that to the mtk guys to fix
[Android General] MithunSanthikumar:
Other than the Camera bug is there anything else like the device slowing down or lags .. etc in RR 5.6.* ?
[Android General] northwindtrades:
nop but the GPS won't work till the update which maybe weeks away

Best stick to lp/kk based ROMs if you use your phone as a daily driver
[Android General] Pher-:
Nah, MM Is smoother than KK/LP but it doesnt support Vids/Pics with flash and GPS yet. Ill update if theres an OTA that fixes the issues.
[Android General] MithunSanthikumar:
What about sound, is there any problems with loudspeaker during call ( low volume ..etc) ?

Do i need to flash Dolby Atmos ?
[Android General] northwindtrades:
If your talking about RR 5.6.x nop

.the sound is amplified.
[Android General] Pher-:
Sound is good and leveled, Loud but doesn't distort the sound. Headset/Headphones are loud too. Which is pretty good since I like listening to loud music.
[Android General] arjanh05:
I thought the thread starter mr. kemo said that we can request roms here??

We need a portable mode for android n for mtk6582 released first. Or we need to download the source code of cm14 and port from source(don't know how ,but memo is learning how to do it)

[Android General] Rom developer2022:
Oh ok
[Android General] MithunSanthikumar:
So how should i flash it, is it possible to use the recovery to flash kitkat (stock) ?
[Android General] northwindtrades:
Nop you flash stock rom through sp flash tool

1) download and install sp flash tool for pc

2)open the tool and select scatter loading

3)browse through the extracted ROM file and select the scatter.txt

4)now click download

5)now power off your phone and plug it through usb

6)wait for the success notification

Also flash custom luck@s kernel to solve the slow touch problem
[Android General] MithunSanthikumar:
So while flashing i should not select recovery right, is that ok ?

So after flashing it with the tool i can directly boot into recovery and flash RR.

And where can i get that kernal, any links ?
[Android General] GrenadeSpamr:
Wait, "weekly OTA updates?"

Does that mean I don't have to flash a ROM for updates, for that custom ROM?

Also, does the MM external as storage work properly?
[Android General] northwindtrades:
You check for updates and download delta zip(small size updates) and flash them in recovery .this may contain bug fixes ,new improvement, new features etc

You check for updates in configuration menu in setting

And yes everything works
[Android General] Pher-:
As of now there's still no OTA Updates since Ajit is busy compiling OctOs 6.0.1, which I won't be porting since RR 5.6.8 is the most stable I have ever ported, which is the first bugless MM Rom on our phone. Except for VPN but who uses that anyways (VPN bug is from the source, not porting problem like the camera)
[Android General] northwindtrades:
The kernel is provided in the thread.

And your device must completely powered off .

PS flashing stock firmware means you will lose all your data ,recovery etc...

You have to install the recovery again

Check everything including recovery
[Android General] MithunSanthikumar:
Where, I cant find the kernal in the thread,

TWRP 2.8.7 also works with kitkat right?
[Android General] northwindtrades:
Yes twrp 2.8.7 works with every version.

ftp://185.86.77.191/LuckAs-kernels/A5000/LuckAs-A5000-kernel-3.4.67-20160225-17-07-boot.zip
[Android General] GrenadeSpamr:
What's the procedure? Wipe, Flash ROM then Kernel? Or Wipe, Flash Kernel then ROM?
[Android General] northwindtrades:
Wipe ,ROM,kernel

Wait this is for KitKat remeber

PS you only need to flash custom kernel after you flash stock ROM, and there's no need to wipe if your flashing stock through sp flash tool
[Android General] GrenadeSpamr:
Just flashed RR 5.6.8, WiFi is unstable like CM13, is there anything I missed? Halp pls
[Android General] northwindtrades:
WiFi unstable how ? ,I'm not getting it.

And no you didn't miss anything. But minor bugs like this would be fixed with the ota
[Android General] GrenadeSpamr:
The WiFi disconnects and reconnects randomly, if I remember correctly, CM13 also had this and was fixed through build.prop, though I'm not sure if that's it, it seems isolated. Can you guys send me your build.prop in a flash zip?
[Android General] northwindtrades:
I could but all of has the same built.prop ,it's why the ota works. Ediing the built.prop will violate the ota updates as well.the built.prop editing was done in cm 13 because of connection to google servers

Still want it?
[Android General] GrenadeSpamr:
Yeah sure, at least I'd know if that's the reason, lol
[Android General] northwindtrades:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-CJc5WWY-roR3FPNjJOTGY0UVk/view?usp=drivesdk
[Android General] GrenadeSpamr:
It didn't work :(

Guess I need to wait if there's other people experiencing it for fix, lol
[Android General] northwindtrades:
Yep .built.prop has no connection to WiFi at all.

Anyone else having this problem?
[Android General] GrenadeSpamr:
Btw, did you also wipe your internal (full wipe?), just wondering, cus I didn't
[Android General] northwindtrades:
Nop. Just a normal wipe .

And wiping has no relation to this prob.

Wiping just for removing the files if older system so they won't hinder the functioning of the new os. For this only the data ,cache and dalvik are required to be removed
[Android General] Pher-:
I dont encounter that issue, a guy on the LA5K group was experiencing that too and was consulting me. When I wiped I wiped System, Data, Cache, Dalvik-Cache and Internal. But as Qwerty@ said wiping is not related to isolated problems.
[Android General] MithunSanthikumar:
Can you upload the stock kitkat to google drive. Download stops after some time, i tried multiple times
[Android General] northwindtrades:
Nah,don't have that much data so I can't upload something that big. If your having trouble with link check this site.

http://firmwarefile.com/lenovo-a5000

BTW our stock is the s025
[Android General] Rom developer2022:
I have RR 5.5.9 How can I update it ? And what's OTA ( it's over the air) update right ?
[Android General] northwindtrades:
Download the 5.6.8 RR ROM and flash .

As for ota you check for update in the configuration menu of settings and if there is an update you download the zip file(this will be minor sized update may include boot animation change ,bug fixes ,new features etc) and flash it in recovery .that's about as ota gets for a custom ROM.

We can't update the main Android version through this though.
[Android General] MithunSanthikumar:
One more question, After flashing kitkat, Is it possible to restore a backup from my sd (Stock lollipop) if i flash the same recovery that i used to create the backup, and everything would work without any issues ? :confused:
[Android General] northwindtrades:
Yes,recovery will work without issues.as for restoring if you have backed up photos ,music like that you can restore

But doing a normal restore means you're heading back into lollipop
[Android General] Rom developer2022:
Is this normal ?
[Android General] hamed7724:
Hi

i bought my lenovo a5000 tab with custom rom last year

so can you give me a link to download the driver of the Lenovo a5000 to install it on my win 7 64 ?

What to do?

SORRYY IT HAS BOOTED UP NOW

So now i'am going to flash twrp, do i also have to flash supersu. ?
[Android General] northwindtrades:
First boot take a long time .

If this goes on too long do a normal reboot and if it's not fixed yet do a reflash

Give it 10-15 (or 20) minutes though
[Android General] MithunSanthikumar:
I flashed recovery but i cant access it
[Android General] northwindtrades:
Yes you can ,just be patient .

You have to flash su to get root
[Android General] MithunSanthikumar:
No, i couldn't by using key combination.

It brings a three options but pressing volume down key to select recovery mode didn't do anything

But i accessed it by selecting recovery option in toolkit in the system update though.
[Android General] northwindtrades:
That combination won't work cuz you already replaced the stock recovery. Standard way is to press power button and vol button at same time when the phone boots.
[Android General] MithunSanthikumar:
Volume + and power button takes me to factory mode
