so, on cm 13 i don't get 3g signal and it shows no sim card
[Android General] leonidas13131313:
Please help!

So, I finally installed CM Bugless, it looks fine. The thing is, I cant login to my google account. It gives me the "COuldnt establish a reliable connection to the servers" problem. I looked for solutions, changed some ip's at the hosts file, installed a different version of gapps. Nothing worked and now I dont have my contacts, no working play store etc... Any ideas?
[Android General] northwindtrades:
Please don't update to lollipop ,it sucks and battery drain like hell ,everyone want to rollback but you wanna update? Flash cm 12.1 instead it's lollipop based and has lot of new features

Flashing gapps 6 worked for me and wipe dalvik cache after

---------- Post added at 02:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:34 AM ----------

Its because google can't identity your phone

1) enable root for file manager

2) open file manager again and open system -> open built.prop

3) delete the spaces between lenovo and a5000

Hey I have a problem with resurrection remix the settings is force closing I downloaded the fix but it didn't work atall so I need help :confused:
[Android General] GrenadeSpamr:
Do you have two browsers? Try to disable the stock browser if you have installed another.
[Android General] Rom developer2022:
Thanks a lot it worked I don't know what's the relation between the browser and settings but thanks anyways
[Android General] byseby:
still not working, how do i get logs? and up there, first unlock screen it shows my network every time after, it shows no service
[Android General] northwindtrades:
Think there's an app for that called alogcat

Or you can 1)enable debugmode 2)get an adb executable if don't have it already 3)open it in cmd(windows) or terminal(Linux) 4) type adb devices to ensure your device is connected or recognized 5)type adb logcat

That should do it

Is there a way i can get it witouth a pc? I found an app but it isn't anything good. My laptop failed me today so i can'd do anythimg related to adb. Anyway, thanks for the info

Is it ported for Lenovo a5000? :confused:
[Android General] Kamaye:
Here's is the link http://www.mtkroms.com/?m=1
[Android General] babigabi:
i think you must first port them for lenovo a5000 not just flash directly from twrp.

this is what I whish to do kemo12533 for us. [MENTION=6088166]kemo12533[/MENTION] can you ?

I already installed RRv2 on my phone. It works so fine. However, otg is not working, but in recovery mode it is working. Bug??

What custom rom supports otg? T_T
[Android General] kemo12533:
I ported every rom here and before uplouding i am testing it for one day and see if i can port it or not

And seeing the issues in it.

porting mean that u relasing some files and change some of system file. This what we are doing ? But u are asking for build from source (full bugless) it is harder than port x10000%

if any rom didnt work u can say that i am just copy
[Android General] iachimo011:
Okay, I flashed CM12.1 bugless to see if it supports otg, and it does. flashed back to RRv2, no otg (boo). It will be really nice if RRv2 supports otg. RR is cool rom. kinda disappointed now.

I'll enjoy CM12.1 bugless for now. haha

I would like to flash CM 13 but I want to do it through TWRP and not to pass through all the porting process. Can I ?

Personally I use the resurrection remix on my A5000.I also used twrp recovery and its good but there is a bug in it when I press on reboot system now it just lags so I have to force shutdown then reboot,for the time it took me about 20 minutes to get everything up and running.

I hope you can fix the GPS too I think its going to be an awesome ROM I already have the lollipop version

I noticed something from RR Remix 5.5.9 V2, when I move apps to my SD card, whether it's from the Settings Move to SD option or App2SD, after a while the app I just moved disappears from my app drawer, loses its icon in the settings, and the icon is greyed out from the shortcut in my home screen. When I try to run the app, it says app is not installed. Anybody encountered this issue? If so kindly tell me the way to prevent it or fix it. TIA.

Try force closing the launcher as it starts before the media scanner probabbly( i don't have an sd card installed so i can't experiment whith this.)
[Android General] Pher-:
Thank you byseby

But thing is I saw that I can format my SD Card to internal storage in this ROM, but when I try to do it it says Corrupted after formatting, but when I format it as Portable Storage it works flawlessly. Anybody knows a fix for this?

thanks for the camera fix but there is bug too if you tutn on with flash in camera it womt take photos ... and in new rremix i have the aave prob with scout my syd corrupted when formatting it to internal

If you Try an Third Party Camera App Like GooGle Camera App or any Other Selfie Camera App or Something then it Broke ... Give a Try and See... And Let me KNow if GooGle Camera App working for You or Not..

[Android General] byseby:
As i said, i don't own an sd card to try but it's bugging me, how would you format sd card as internal storage? I mean, that's the ideea of removable memory, once you unmount it you will be left with 0 internal(sd) and a 5Gb sd(internal). That is how i see it. But, annyway, the thing is that it is made to work this way, i mean, wouldn't the developers or lenovo tell you to do this if it would be better?
[Android General] Pher-:
Its in Android 6.0, a new feature that can use a external SD Card as internal storage for low memory phone like ours. I guess I'll just use this as portable and give up on using that internal feature haha.

---------- Post added at 11:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:12 AM ----------

If it breaks when using third-party cameras, then you're better off using the stock. I just use the stock camera since I dont need that much effects and I can do it in the computer using Photoshop or something similar.
[Android General] byseby:
Here are 6 screenshots from different camera apps that work. That camera app that you posted an apk for is faulty by itself... Didn't you think that if you can't find google camera in play store it means it is probabbly not going to work?

Apps: facebook messenger, whatsapp stock camera, open camera, snapchat, selfie cam
[Android General] Dark-Coder:
:crying::crying: Don't Know what am i Doing Wrong.. , Even Stock Camera App Stopped Working After Sometime... :( Don't know how this Working for you , i applied the Camera Patch many Times But no use.. :crying:

I'm using rr marshmallow but before i was on rr lollipop. They are the best at performance to date but i bet we'll get something better soon
[Android General] Pher-:
Yup, very soon. What version of RR Lollipop were you using? V2 by Opiz or DRT's version?
[Android General] byseby:
There is no error about camera in that log

Was using v2
[Android General] Pher-:
Thank you byseby for all the answers! :D Time to wipe my phone again and use the V2 Version.

Whoever's planning to flash RR Remix 5.5.9 use Version 2, DRT's Version has low audio problem.
[Android General] byseby:
I hope you're not going back to kitkat every time. You can just wipe system data and caches and you're good to go
[Android General] Pher-:
Yup! That's what I've been doing. I wipe the internal storage too so I could remove my old apps data since I back them up with Titanium Backup on my SD Card. :D

Guys I have a problem with the video output on RR Marshmallow it just gives me a green screen when I try to record my screen with any app
[Android General] northwindtrades:
Think the problem is actually phone unable to store the taken photo . and when you open it again you get can't connect cuz your camera is still busy trying to store the taken photo.

Try clearing the folder where camera stores photo or the gallery "camera " then go to recovery and flash the fix and directly reboot system .this is what I did .

Also turn off auto flash

[MENTION=597355]Kemo[/MENTION] ,any chance you could upload a paranoid android ROM?
[Android General] Pher-:
I migrated back to CM 12.1 Stable Edition and no bugs so far (FM Radio doesnt work on loudspeaker though) I also noticed that the reason why my apps are disappearing when I move them to SD on this rom before its because my Kingston SD Card was faulty, I went out to get a Sandisk SD Card and its working flawlessly.
[Android General] northwindtrades:
I'm migrating to cm 12 as well. It's best if we stick to lollipop and KitKat based ROM Our kernel can barely run marshmallow based ROM
[Android General] Pher-:
Yup, and a lot of apps are having trouble with the new permissions in Marshmallow, like Titanium Backup cant write to External SD Cards anymore.
[Android General] Rom developer2022:
Guys do you think I should go back from RR marshmallow to RR lollipop
[Android General] northwindtrades:
our kernel can just run mm ROMs and not run it completly buglessly so ,it's best you stick to previous version that worked well for you and wait for stable releases of new ROMs
[Android General] MithunSanthikumar:
Can CM 12.1 be flashed on A5000 with Lollipop 5.0.2 directly without downgrading

:confused:
[Android General] northwindtrades:

Yes I can but it's not smooth tho it will just cut the animation, and what about the audio quality dude? I tried to tweak the mixerpath.xml but I couldn't find it in system/etc/ can you help me? Though RR remix marshmallow has no problem for me, only the audio quality and recent apps scrolling :)
[Android General] macranjoh:

[Android General] MithunSanthikumar:
Is downgrading must for flashing CM 13 too?

:(
[Android General] northwindtrades:
Well I haven't tried flashing from lollipop with cm 13 because I already roll backed to KitKat and flashed cm 12.1 before cm 13 was uploaded

Anyway I've heard the lollipop kernel is faulty so it's best you downgrade first ,also I don't get the fuzz about downgrading it's not hard at all .on a sidenote cm 13 has a handfull of bugs
[Android General] stefpro7942:
Could somebody of you Write me in detail of the things i need to do to flash recovery(with what app or computer program) ,if i need to mount anything in it, and what ROM (with both best looks and performance), and also how to install it safely without bricking the device or bootlooping it... TIA ??

Using CM 12.1 bugless, at first the audio was great but the sound gets looooowwwweeerrrr... Is there anyways we can adjust it? kernel/build.prop?

The file you need to edit is mixerpath.XML .it helps to increase volume and reduce creaky noise but I can't find it

The std location is system/etc/mixerpath but it's not there .

Update : I've searched everything to do with audio but I couldn't find the two files that can edit the output volume

Can i flash recovery via Flashify app, is it also safe, and without bugs???

And should i also wipe system with all those other things or not???

P.S. Last time, i flashed TWRP v3.0. with flashify and it worked OK, but with minor bugs, so i decided to install CM12.1. Stable edition but it took to long and nothing was happening so I cancelled the install and got myself a bricked device that looked something like this...

---------- Post added at 02:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:50 PM ----------

I wasn't able to do anything but thank God I had warranty so I took my phone there, and they fixed it...
[Android General] northwindtrades:
Wiping after installing other stuff is pretty much optional .

And no flashify isn't bugfree ,why is why they keep it updating.best do flashing by your self

P.S your the second person to have got the same result By installing like this.the other guy sent it into warranty too. Also give the installation time it takes a bit long sometimes

For further rank you have to be nominated for your work by others or apply for it and the dev community might accept .
