My thoughts exactly.

I'm still researching, but looks like I can use "mkimage" to add headers.

mkimage kernel KERNEL > kernel_with_meditek_header

removing, with DD

dd if=kernel of=kernel_without_header bs=1 skip=512

Manually packing after adding headers, with mkbootimg

mkbootimg --kernel zImage_with_header --ramdisk ramdisk_with_header.img -o new_boot.img

Came across mtk-tools :laugh: , and I have these notes jotted down, not sure who to credit. But I believe I found these instructions on XDA .

Only if I had more free time, I'd like to start compiling / testing a kernel of my own :cool:. At the moment I'm gathering some governors & other MODs to add-in to the project. that are already available on XDA.

I'm a huge fan of under-clocking my phones, as doing so makes awesome battery life ( for most part) ! I don't believe I have seen that feature on any of the kernels I've came across...

On another note , regarding governors. I foundthis MOD https://xdaforums.com/android/software-hacking/mod-gov-tuner-project-29th-june-2016-t3407828, I believe it has made my phone more smooth so far :D ! Check it out ( If you haven't already came across:good: ) .

[Lenovo A7000 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] tanish2k09:
I think you are worthy enough of being added into the official development groups of a7k. You gave me fb detail once but I couldn't find your id.

The new ROM isn't ready for daily use. Uploaded as alpha build though. That ROM fails to detect IMEI and cam doesn't connect. I tried many ways to fix but couldn't.aybe I can fix it later sometime.

Pm me your more specific details so I can add you into dev groups. :D
[Lenovo A7000 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] hightech316:
Hmm is it also failing to detect Baseband, RIL, WiFi MAC, BT MAC ?

PMing :D
[Lenovo A7000 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] tanish2k09:
No. Wifi is working and Sims are detected too. But since IMEI isn't detected, the ril process reports the system to stop detection of signal.

However, I would like everyone now to stop replying to the new ROM post. It was just for knowledge that development isn't over yet.

There is another ROM coming this way. A nougat rom. With minor bugs like offline charging only.

Don't ask me about it. You'll know shortly anyways.

Actually those video errors are related to flashing bug.

[Lenovo A7000 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] hightech316:
Have you tried another .apk and experience same results? Perhaps check MD5 checksum to make sure it is in fact corrupt.

When you had flashed the ROM are you formating Dalvik/Cache, Sys , Data ? I'm use to formatting 3x as my driod incredible required it back in the day :eek: Yeah a little OCD I guess...

[Lenovo A7000 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Ray_Green:
Use Substratum from Play store, layer manager has been deprecated. To move the date and time to the left there should be some sort of option in the setting itself (I haven't tried out the ROM myself, sorry). If there isn't, use gravity box after flashing xposed and change it from there. Battery bar option should be there in gravity box too.

I had a problem flashing this rom, after i flashed the rom zip and the gapps, the rom did boot, but in setup wizard, it crashed, and after that everything began crashing, system ui, settings, everything crashed. I tried reflashing the rom again, but again, everything crashed. I'm downgrading from Nougat(MadOS) to Marshmallow. I don't know if that's what is causing the problem. Any help?
[Lenovo A7000 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] tanish2k09:
Gapps might be the cause. Downgrading won't affect as long as you wiped nicely.

A reflash should fix it. If it doesn't, change gapps. Make sure it is the same package that I have linked in op.

If it doesn't get fixed, do a logcat and send me. Don't ask me about logcatting until you try the above methods first.

You can try button mapper.
[Lenovo A7000 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] mirzi_:
It could work, but it requires a pro version. I also tried enabling navbar using gravitybox but that doesn't do a thing.
[Lenovo A7000 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] mirzi_:
I found a solution. Go to root/system/usr/keylayout/generic.kl, open it as a text file, scroll to the bottom and find key 580 MENU. Just replace MENU with APP_SWITCH. Save it and reboot your phone. It works just like on the stock rom, only the vibration doesn't work for some reason.

EDIT: Installing xposed additions fixes the vibrations.

Please tell what steps you did to flash.
[Lenovo A7000 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] osama farag:
first wiped dalvic cache data system and internal storage

then flashed the rom then the gapps (the one in the post) and rebooted

it comes to the setup and says setup wizard crashed and begin booting again with no end
[Lenovo A7000 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] tanish2k09:
The gapps in the link are obsolete.

Try using latest gapps nano package or bigger (don't use pico) from opengapps.org

Select arm64, Android 6.0, and the package of choice (bigger than pico)

The flashing steps seem fine. If you want to give a try, you can try to reflash the same way. Please don't wipe internal storage, no need to wipe it.

[Lenovo A7000 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] tanish2k09:
ROM discontinued.

Yes you are more than welcome to use venom kernel. It works flawlessly with this ROM, but simply flashing the zip might cause a bootloop. What you might need to do is to use Android Image studio from play store, or Carliv image kitchen on windows pc to unpack the boot.img from the ROM zip and replace the kernel file of boot.img with the Image.gz-dtb file from the kernel zip.

It sounds difficult but it is very easy and takes hardly 2 minutes. You can search Google for how to unpack boot.img using Carliv image kitchen. I can't personally spoonfeed every newbie. Remember xda is a place to learn stuff yourself, it is not a place just for asking for support to other devs.

You learn the most if you try. Good luck ;)

[General Questions and Answers] Matt1355:
So guys, the thing is: I haven't found a way to root nor to unlock the bootloader in this phone.

Focusing on the bootloader, there is an option in the Developer options which says "OEM unlocking", that supposedly allows the bootloader to be unlocked. Plugging the phone on the pc USB and using adb to get into fastboot works fine, but after typing "fastboot flashing unlock" the command prompt keeps on waiting with "..." for the next phone's action, that's where the problem begins: on the cellphone screen, right after the warnings about the consequences of unlocking the bootloader, appears: "Press the Volume UP/Down buttons to select Yes or No." If Volume_Down is pressed, it returns to fastboot, but if Volume_UP is pressed nothing happens, literally nothing, Power button also does nothing, the only one who works is Volume_Down, making it unable to unlock the bootloader via this method.

I tried to use "adb shell input keyevent 24" (knowing it wouldn't work) to try to send the Volume_Up command from the pc.

So I wanna know if there is a way that, through that fastboot waiting instance (the three dots "..."), I can send the Volume_Up command from the pc, enabling the Bootloader to be unlocked, making the root easy or even possible.

Thanks in advance!
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Just because you have the "OEM unlock" option in settings doesn't necessarily mean you can unlock bootloader, the manufacturer or your carrier may have disabled that option in fastboot. Not all devices can be unlocked.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Google isn't the the one that has control of that, that's controlled by the device manufacturers and/or each mobile carrier. In this case, it's controlled by Lenovo

The only devices that Google has control over whether they're rootable or not is only the Nexus and Pixel devices, not any of the others.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
I think it is saying that the connection between PC and your device was interrupted for some reason. I was probably a problem with your cable being loose and losing connection where it plugs into your device.

It is not very likely but it could also be an unstable electrical supply grid in your area, the power in the building where you are could have dropped momentarily, I doubt this was the cause though, but it is one possibility.

Use a different cable or find a way to make sure it connects and stays connected, then try flashing again.

[Honor 4x Questions & Answers] jana1991:
I bought a used honor 4x phone emui 4, updated , after enter my gmail account updated apps and I got 345mb in internal storage I heard about adopted sd system , can I use it with emui 4 ,my phone non rooted
[Honor 4x Questions & Answers] Bob1900:
Yes, you can use it. The short answer is that adopted storage is not an optimal solution, but it can work just fine if you set it up the right way. Which Honor 4x variant do you have, btw? What I write now is valid for the Che2-L11.

Many people think that adopted storage is the same as mounting an extra partition which Android will then use in the most rational way. This is not correct. Developers of Android decided to not use the card for essential files, so when you add adopted storage, Android will still install some parts of each app on your internal storage. Also, some developers of apps have not made their apps ready for adopted storage, and they will install on internal.

For this reason, your internal storage will continue to be filled up with new files even after you have added adopted storage, and might approach 100%, so your phone will tell you there is no more space left for installing new apps. All the while your card still has plenty of space.

But don't worry, you can avoid such a scenario if you do prepare your phone a little.

To get the best possible result, I recommend that you wipe your phone and do a fresh install of EMUI. You need to unlock the bootloader, set the USB developer option, install TWRP, and then flash the firmware the normal way. (This is quite complicated procedure, you should study how to do this yourself.) After that, put an SD card into the phone, and it should be a card that doesn't contain anything important so you can format it. Follow the instructions for adopted storage, which will format your SD card. EMUI will have problems if you use all 100% of the card as adopted, so choose the option mixed 50. The SD card must be minimum class 10 speed for apps to work normally.

Then you should root your phone, and install Root Essentials. Then set the option for "install apps on SD card". After that, your phone will try to install all new apps on the SD card on the adopted storage. You will probably be using around 75% of your internal storage, and might reach 85%, but you can continue adding a lot of apps before you get a problem. I have installed 30+ apps and am using 82% of internal storage. Good luck. :good:

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reconfigure:
Hello XDA, I'm having a problem with my grandmother's phone, and I'm in a hurry to get this fixed because she needs it for business. Her phone is an AT&T Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900A unlocked to T-Mobile. It was running Android 4.4.2 KitKat, and I tried to update the phone as I did with my grandpa's, who has the same exact phone before we switched to T-Mobile. Because it was unlocked, the phone couldn't receive the OTA Lollipop update due to the SIM card not being AT&T.

After spending 4 hours searching and trying solutions, I came down to one thread on XDA Forums here. I saw it and I ended up using Odin 3.09 to flash the All-In-one/Non-Wipe Tar file onto it, now my phone is stuck in a boot-loop. Strangely, the Lollipop update seems to be installed as when I plug her phone into my PC/charge it, the battery screen is different than the old one which looked shiny and not flat and material like the Lollipop one. Knox has not been tripped, system status is OFFICIAL, and every time I turn on the phone, it proceeds to boot until the AT&T logo screen, where it freezes mid-way vibrates 2 times and boots the same way over and over again.

Is there anything I can do aside from doing a wipe or factory reset, as I mentioned before she has to use the phone for a business she works for and she had somewhat important work on the phone. The worst part of it all is I was stupid and ignored the warning to back my data up first in the firmware thread. Please help, I'm in a very big hurry to solve this and finish the updating/problem. :(

P.S If it's not a boot loop and it's called something else, whatever. xD
