Guys ...please provide a tutorial for moving apps to sd card om MM roms via XinternalSD ...all the tutorials i found on google only allows the apps to write files to external and do not move the apps to the SD card...i really want a MM rom but can't use one because i have too many apps :(
[Android General] Dark-Coder:
Here , try this app .. This app is much better regarding moving apps to SD card.. ( read app description carefully).. Working fine for me so far on MM ROM...

Is there any Android 6.0 or 7.0(Nougat) official firmware for my a5k??
[Android General] Dark-Coder:
Nops , Last Official Firmware for A5k is Lollipop 5.0.2 .... And their are Not gonna Any More Official Firmware , Because LENOVO don't care about their Low/Mid Range Devices ( Even they don't care about Most of their High-End Devices Too ,like ZUk Z1) ... So My Advice , STick with KitKat or Use Custom ROM...
[Android General] andydor:
Which rom is best between: cm12.1 v3 vs rr 5.5.9 v2 vs L prime?

Thanks.
[Android General] 9jabasewap:
For Me, I prefer L-Prime, Because it's stable and the bug is lower then the ROM so called bugless....

Here are some reasons why i L-Prime,

*No Network Drop like Some CM ROMs.

*No Overheating Issues like other lollipop base (124).

*Dual 3G

*No Data Issues

*GPS and VPN working perfectly without any patches.

*Battery Life is Bit Better than other Lollipop base ROM but I can't compare the battery with Low kernel version.

And lots more!!!!!
[Android General] northwindtrades:
Really? After that effed up lollipop update the last thing I want is another update from lenovo .I rather somehow install windows 98 on my phone.:silly:

[MENTION=6762092]FurqanHanif[/MENTION] I've heard some got the camera fixed by using camu app from play store ,install it do a normal reboot and see if you're getting it again.
[Android General] Dark-Coder:
Hmmm That's Good , Thanks... :good:But i Found another solution too on XDA , i Use this CameraFix App for this Camera Issue , Camera Working Fine So far , Yet .... (Using this Fix for 2 days)

if i encounter any Problem then i'll try this Camu App and let You Know if this Working Fine or Not .. :D

But indeed on MM actualy camera is unstable for our phone. I had problems with camera on other MM roms too..
[Android General] northwindtrades:
Most roms like RR frustrates me with some issues like being unstable and the bugs come just when you need your phone the most:mad:

Gold standard ROMs should be du,cm,omni but we don't have them yet.temasek is stable but slow ,the du I just made is fast and stable but it doesn't have stock file manager,music player,messaging and therefore these apps must be imported from cyanogen(or other ROMs) and I'm yet to test the gps:(.

Anybody know any ROM that prides in stability that we don't have yet that we could try to port ?
[Android General] babigabi:
I think miui rom is more stable than other roms. Even If is KitKat android. Another full stable rom I dont know.
[Android General] northwindtrades:
We already have miui so yeah.. The dirty unicorns I made have a GPS bug from source so can't be fixed by applying patches, but if ajith releases it I will be using it,du,omni,cm,have been around for sometime so we can expect stability from them.

Your travels coming up right? Good luck ... My college starts soon.
[Android General] Dark-Coder:
Well i Think MIUI is the Only STable Custom ROM , but it's Too Heavy for our Mobile and a Bit Complicated ..

No Doubt RR or any CM 13 Based ROM are Buggy but Most of them are Really Light Weight , Less Resource Hungry , Less Complicated and Fast in Performance ... ( That's WHy STill CM 13 is Most Popular Custom ROM) ..

And We never Gonna Get STable CM ROM anytime SOon for SUre ( because of MediaTek and their Fu**ing CLosed Source Policy)... :rolleyes:
[Android General] northwindtrades:
That sucks .dirty unicorns very good though I have yet to run into other bug(other than gps,vpn )after I replaced the cyanogen camera with camu.I also have a network drop patch for it but too bad the GPS can't be fixed. I have like 510+ ram even after installing all the apps ,hope ajith releases it soon so we can have a GPS fixed one.

[Android General] Daz3n:
Waiting for IT. ;)
[Android General] northwindtrades:
Most minor bugs(WiFi,settings not savings,camera fc etc.. are not the problem with the ROM but the recovery(we won't be getting a bugless recovery as well:)) and the way you flash:p

How to swap internal storage with externel storage on CM12.1/13 but not using any app?
[Android General] northwindtrades:
Nah not your fault ,blame the recovery or the ROM .

Besides ,I've already said cyanogen theme engine+aosp ram management=hopeless. This sort of combination will only increase the bugs .which is why I called this a "validus2.0"

If you're porting a ROM with aosp ram management port the one which supports layers and not cmte
[Android General] Hazem Mostafa:
[MENTION=7387201]northwindtrades[/MENTION] : Thanks for feedback , but I got to say though this rom has some bugs like these but it's sure very smooth and stable (almost). I want to port an AOSP rom which is smooth like it and without any themeing like tipsy's os or validus , something that is almost vanilla android , which is smoothest to be ported ? (Tried Slimrom but it's not quite smooth)
[Android General] northwindtrades:
Yep its smooth because of aosp ram management but the cmte and aosp codes don't go hand in hand so the bugs ,anyway as of now dirty unicorns will be my first choice to port(I'llchoose du with layers over cmte)

BTW can you upload this ROM for others cuz i can't

Also Paranoid android is very good which is pretty close to stock Android.
[Android General] Hazem Mostafa:

Lenovo A5000 MiUI 4PDA Patches

Here, have fun: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B1Ee0JPRAllUaF9sWkVPYkdQeG8&usp=sharing#list

I downloaded and uploaded in the same order on 4pda but Google doesn't let you sort by Last Modified when you click the link.

Quick way to download is click the first file, then in the bottom left click 1 of 21 to bring up the carousel, then just select whichever file and click the Download arrow at the top.
[Android General] Dark-Coder:
Thanks ... :D

Wondering WHy Not make an 4pda Account and Make it's Login Credentials Public so anyone can Login and Download whatever We Want ...!! :confused:
[Android General] 7awliet:
Trusting Online Accounts With Others

Download whatever

s

/he wants*.

Sharing the credentials of a 4PDA account or whatever other account? It doesn't work because there is always someone who what the account for themselves for whatever reason and decides to change the password. Also, it can get banned very quickly because I think it violates 4PDA's rules and if they see that it's being shared then they'll put a stop to it.

A noble idea, but one that rarely ever works on the Internet. It's like finding a jailbreak and the only way to release it to the public is by..... releasing it to the public. Meaning the product manufacturer can download it too and see what vulnerability was taken advantage of to do the jailbreak, allowing them to patch it (if it is not a root/hardware exploit).

The idea of sharing publicly while trying not to let whatever it is you shared get into the hands of those that you don't want to get hold of it, is a hopeless one as you are handicapped at from the get-go. Key phrase: sharing publicly.
[Android General] Dark-Coder:

[Android General] northwindtrades:
Its one of 4pda rules to keep everything Russian.

Dunno about racism and all but I guess there's a reason why 4pda and talks of it are banned in XDA but as for development needs there are few forums with better resources;)

If I can't find something in XDA my second stop would be 4pda. As for making an account and sharing it with public...:silly:and for some arguments you raised you have a point but that should be directed at the 4pda forum admin and not at poor 7awliet:angel:

Anyway if you want an account get help from 7awliet/ CIS residents (we do get visitors from 4pda here eg harlequinua,romario ne etc) in making an account just for you ,good luck:good:

Lenovo A5000 Open Source Code | MT6582 Vendor Trees and Device Trees

I downloaded them both before I ever came to this place. I'm sure this source code has already been talked about in this thread, e.g. page 65, earlier, and later too.

Yes, it's possible to get things from the KK 4.4 SC in the MediaTek folder (Kernel folder is self explanatory), but not from the LP 5.0 SC as that only has the Kernel folder.

I also talked about this in detail:

The name of the thread in the last link in that quote is "Cyanogenmod for mediatek devices", with 518+ pages and 5180+ posts, currently active daily - it is the 4PDA of XDA. They work directly with the source, MM 6.0.1 with kernel 3.4.XX, 3.10.XX, and 3.18.XX, all of it. Do they share? If you're in their group then maybe.

From the quote above though (I added the formatting just now for emphasis), where I pointed out from the device name in the build.prop that Ajit uses generic MT6582 VTs and DTs, it finally clicked on me... that he USES GENERIC MT6582 VTs AND DTs! I mean, how else would he be able to make the multi-device, single-chip, ROMs? DUH! :silly:

Look in the current build.prop:

ro.product.manufacturer=mediatek
ro.product.model=mt6582
ro.product.name=cm_mt6582
ro.rr.device=mt6582

So I stopped searching for Lenovo A5000 VTs and DTs, 'cause we can make those in seconds, we already have everything we need. So instead on GitHub I started searching for "mt6582" instead... and guess what? :cool:

I've a surprise for you ;) (I've so many bookmarks and downloads and patches SMH... I sit on all the solutions to my problems)

Vendor Tree for MediaTek MT6582

Device Tree for MediaTek MT6582

I think it's the same one Ajit uses. That said, I dunno how much I'm going to work on it.

P.S.: I don't see many people talking about the two links that you posted, they always say "Lenovo/MediaTek doesn't/hasn't released the source code", even on 4PDA - which is true, but you can still get some stuff from those links. People are relying on source code leaked by someone (forgot their name) that's mentioned in that hardcore MTK thread.
[Android General] 7awliet:
Always Read Instructions | Build.props

I ought to update my script and instructions so that people don't have to fiddle with it to adapt it for porting something other than RR 5.7.1..... but as always I dunno when I'll get onto that :D :o

Please create backups and read the instructions properly until I get round to that xD

Build.prop is one thing that makes it unique and I dunno how much the META-INF folder does too. Speaking of build.prop, here's a fun thing to do:

Make a backup copy of your build.prop, open it in Notepad++, then delete all the credit & comment lines (ones starting with #) and blank lines. Now put the cursor at the beginning of the file and click [Edit] > [Line Operations] > [Sort Lines Lexicographically Ascending].

Again with the cursor at the beginning, press [Ctrl]+[H] or click [Search] > [Replace...] to bring up the find/replace window. In the first box put:

^(.*?)$\s+?^(?=.*^\1$)

(credit: stema and Mr. Polywhirl)

Leave the second box blank and make sure "Regular expression" and ". matches new line" and selected/ticked at the bottom, then click [Find Next]. Did you find a duplicate line? :cowboy: If so, copy it into an new file to remember it, then click again [Find Next] till it's searched the whole file. For now manually delete the duplicate lines so there's only unique lines left in the file.

Now download my stripped build.prop (attached, save you time) into some other folder and delete 'stripped' from the file name, now open this too with Notepad++. Now you should have both build.props open in Notepad++, click [Plugins] > [Compare] > [Compare]. If you don't have the Compare plugin, install it from the last option in the Plugins menu.

Alternatively, you can save both files to your Desktop or wherever and open them both in WinMerge to compare them.

My standard build.prop is attached too (I always edit my build.prop).
[Android General] northwindtrades:
[MENTION=7523876]7awliet[/MENTION] have you tried porting ROMs with 3.10.54 kernel ?.the marshmallow ones are a dead end for me but the lollipop ones(cm12.1,rr5.5.9 are the ones I've tried) are good except for the storage bug .the storage gets swapped/corrupted:eek:

The usual workaround is decompiling framework-res.apk of and replacing storage list XML from stock to port(one would have to setup apktool for this) but after I've done this I'm getting bootloop(could be a problem with my compiling :silly:)

1)if I've signed the recompiled apk I cannot make it pass the bootlogo:mad:

2)if didn't signed I get boot animation in loop:( (as said above I'll need to check my recompiling again)

So I gave that up sometime ago

Anyway I've found another cm12.1 for 3.10.54 kernel in the above link you posted(the mtk thread)and I'm gonna give it another go once I get my hands on my PC:D

As for the source code links I posted ,I looked that up when you first asked for vt/dt in this thread for the first time but couldn't make sense of what it was and wasn't interested but funny when you finally have lots to do in college ,the things that you didn't care about earlier are the ones you're interested in the most:cowboy:

Guys...how can i turn off DoubleTap2Wake on RR 5.7.1 .... i tried to turn it off through the kernel auditor but it's still on ...??
[Android General] northwindtrades:
That's a forced kernel feature that can't disabled jut like that.
[Android General] 7awliet:
No, I haven't ported any kernel 3.10.54 ROMs, but I'm thinking of porting MM 6.0.1 kernel 3.4.67 from S124, instead of S030.

I've heard of the decompiling the framework method and something along the lines of 2 separate apk decompiling tools come to mind: 1 specificity for signed APKs and another for unsigned.

Same here, when we become busy, everything wants your attention all of a sudden haha.

The issue of storage itself is not so big to me. We can't store the app on the SD card but we can already store app data on the SD card, and any media produced via the apps can be stored on the SD card too. I don't think anyone's gonna have anything close to 8 or even 6 GBs of apps. I doubt they could fill the phone store with just apps.

As for the surprises:

I.. I err... I guess I should have worded that better. Err... what the surprise was/is, is that I finally found the VTs and DT (the two links I posted). :o

Tried the same, you can't... :( extract boot.img, then maybe edit \initrd\init.mt6582_common.rc or even \initrd\init.rc, I dunno. If it's in the kernel itself then... welp, sorry.

[Android General] northwindtrades:
Signing recompiled apks

1)you should not sign system apks like framework- res.apk as system apps are signed in a certain way and the compiled apk will end up being rejected which is why the 3.10.54 cm12.1 didn't make it pass the bootlogo but made it pass when not signed.

2)all other apps should be signed.

As for the tool I use apktool

Need gps fix

Greetings,

I just flashed (clean install) SlimROM 6.0.1 from 4pda.

The only issue I encounter is the gps, the rom or kernel (i don't know which one) doesn't provide information from sensor. Tested with GPS Status & Toolbox: "Magnetic field" and "Orientation" doesn't give any information.

I tried gps fix provided by Daz3n on post #1155, but without any result. Also in google maps I don't get any direction (the arrow not move).

Let me know if you need any other details about phone, rom or anything else.

Edit: I forgot to say that I can't disable 2-tap-to-wake or swipe-to-wake. I tried to disable using Kernel Auditor.

Edit2: I'm not interested anymore, I downgraded to stock kitkat. I had some issues with seeing the contacts from sims on slimrom and other roms. I'll wait for a rom with following features: a working gps, flashlight, camera, working network (sim, data, wifi) and better as performance then stock, preferable aosp stock design.

Hi. I'm trying to flash CM12.1 and Resurrection Remix rom, but I wiped the System Data. I thought I should wipe that too because I wipe it all the time with my other phones in flashing custom roms. But now I know that I shouldn't in the case of a5000. Now, I'm getting the error 7 and I can't flash the rom. I've searched this forum for solutions and got no luck. I did not make a nandroid backup as well (I know, I'm a moron, sorry). Can anyone help me?

This is what I'm planning to do... I am downloading the kitkat stock rom and I'm gonna flash it. But does the stock rom for this can be flash through twrp 3.0 (I saw that it is a zip file) ? Or should I flash it with SP Flash tool?
[Android General] northwindtrades:
Stock ROM can only be flashed through sp flash tool or stock recovery(if its an update.zip)

But you could just flash another ROM that don't give error 7 and then do a normal wipe and then flash over it
[Android General] potcholo:
How do I know if a certain ROM does not give error 7? Can you give a rom that does not give the error 7? And what do you mean by normal wipe? Is it the dalvik, cache, and data (system not included)?
