Unofficial LineageOS 14.1 / Android 7.1.2 - Lenovo A850​

This is a LineageOS 14.1 rom for our Lenovo A850. This is NOT MY WORK, I found it on this russian forum/post. All creadits to the developer. This is a pure android 7.1.2 and not a looklike rom.

Bugs:

- [not tested] Camera focus may be buggy.

- There is no system space for installing Gapps. I moved webview as user app and then installed pico.

- Magisk / SuperSu installation not working

- [not tested] Xposed libraried

- Can't always get into recovery using both volume and power buttons (go through the power menu)

- When in the recovery and rebooting into system the phone closes (unplug the batery and reboot it)

- Reboot just powers down the device

- [not tested] Grenify causes bootloops

- You can fix the IMEI with Tool Hero (the update of MobileUncle), after that uninstall it.

- I face mobile data problems (data work whenever they want)...

Instructions:

0. MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP! This ROM doesn't do well with you NVRAM... You will probably need to restore your IMEI, your Serial Number would be lost, your Mac Address etc. So... backup.

1. Make sure you are on ROW format. You can check this from your "Baseband version", it should contain/say ROW or CN. You can flash this ROM first to move to a ROW format (taken from this tutorial). You can always replace the "recovery.img" file with this recovery.img that i have cooked (English version). Can also be flashed over "[MM 6.0.1] Unofficial Cyanogenmod 13".

2. Download this file (LineageOS 14.1 rom), put it in your SD (source).

3. Boot into your TWRP recovery, wipe Dalvik / ART Cache / System / Cache / Data, and flash the zip from you SD. Installation takes a lot of time.

5. Boot phone and BOOM, Android 7.1.2!!!! (boot takes a little too)

6. To enable root access or reboot to recovery, open Settings->About->Tap "Build number" many times to unlock Developer Options->go back->Developer Options->Check "Advance reboot" and change "Root access"

IMEI Problems/Fixes:

You can fix the IMEI with:

- With MobileUncle (follow these steps)

- Tool Hero (the update of MobileUncle), after that uninstall it.

- Else... if you don't know that you can run IMEI&SN Writer V1.5.3, flash this ROM and try to run it (setup drivers etc). Then FORMAT the phone (with flashtool click format,auto), and flash (click download this time) this ROM(the same with the first link), and then change the IMEI etc with IMEI&SN Writer V1.5.3.

Anyone tried it ???
[Lenovo A850] GreatApo:
It worked fine and very smooth for one day until i started using Link2SD (since phone's space is way too small). After some failed linked apps (after changing a SDcard) i started having problems and many apps crashed (not the linked ones!). I am going to reinstall the rom and clean everything and i will report back.

But the first day was really really good. I was able to play StarWars Heroes, which i was not able to play with the CM 13 rom (was too laggy).

[Lenovo A850] markietut:
it's working but the bluetooth is an error occur... bluetooth not respnding...
[Lenovo A850] sooperior:
It might also be a problem with link2sd itself, I was using it without problem on this phone with cyanogenmod (android 6) and in one of the last updates it blocks the phone.

A quick solution when the phone is not booting (my case) rather that fully reinstall, is go into recovery, terminal, cd /data/apps/ and delete link2sd .apk. By doing that the phone booted normally, so I would blame a little link2sd. There have been some updates (of link2sd) afterwards, but haven't tried them.

Just a hint if system space is so limited: opengapps has the possibility to uninstall/replace system apps by custom script.

Check: https://github.com/opengapps/opengapps/wiki/Advanced-Features-and-Options

You can, for example, remove eleven, gallery, screen recorder... and then maybe there is space for a pico flashing
[Lenovo A850] GreatApo:
Yes probably. Anyway the biggest problems with this roms is that the IMEI is lost. Now I can't restore it. I have driver problems connecting it to the PC and not the time to fix it.
[Lenovo A850] Alk142:
Google Drive Link doesn't work... d'oh :(

Unfortunately, the google drive link no longer works. Does anybody have a direct link to the file?

Moreover, apparently there are several variants of A5500-F. There is not only CN and ROW, but also MT6582 and MT6735.

I have MT6582 ROW. Would the file match?

If not, does anybody have an idea where to get a recent Android for the A5500-F ROW MT6582 that can be downloaded without too many hoops to jump through? Why can't people post straight links? :(

Thanks,

Alain
[Lenovo A850] sooperior:
Sir, this thread is for Lenovo A850 (plain). It will not work on A5500 or anything other than A850.
[Lenovo A850] Alk142:
Are A8-50 and A5500-F the same or not?

Problem is, some posts (even on this site) say A8-50 and A5500-F are the same thing. Heck, even Amazon's bill from back when I bought it calls it an A8-50. A list of all A8-50 variants and how to tell them apart would be helpful.

When ever I get a video message I click download in the MMS window but then seconded later it says forbidden. I can't view any received videos, help me please!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] docvicki:
MMS forbidden notification

I have exactly the same problem. I have searched all over this site for fixes and have installed the newer version of Arcsoft MMS and my settings and all the other things I've found so far and it still won't send MMS. I am now about to sacrifice a lamb and see if that works. If anyone has any other ideas about a real fix, I'd appreciate the help. I don't send MMS all that much, but I would love to do so.

I'm currently running the new PC.Ultimate.V15 WWE that was just posted, but I was having this problem before that. I actually think it must be a simple settings problem, but I have messed with about everything so far and still not had any luck with it. As far as I can tell, everything else works great.

Thanks for any help in advance.

Anyone know of a way to get Google Home to play music from my local Subsonic server? I've searched for a few months and not been able to come up with anything. Any help or suggestions would be greatly welcomed!
[Google Home] ctrlaltca:
Short answer: nothing exists at the moment.

I just started working on an integration project using google actions + dialogflow + a php script + a plain subsonic installation.

By now I'm able to ask for a song by its title and artist, make a search on subsonic, make google home speech the song name and stream it.

It's very far from being something easy to setup and use, but if you're interested and want to get your hand dirty on some unfinished code, I can set up some instructions.
[Google Home] ShinikVeech:
I'd be interested to see what you've done, even if it's rough. Can you put it on github, by chance?

Thanks!

[MENTION=8118918]ctrlaltca[/MENTION] I set everything up (and even went so far as to set up ssl with letsencrypt, in case that was my issue) but after the welcome message, I am not getting very far.

Is there supposed to be anything set in the Responses section of the make_query intent? It seems that when that is blank, I get a "MalformedResponse: 'final_response' must be set." from the simulator and the integration crashes.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks for all that you have done! This looks great so far.

Mark

---------- Post added at 01:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:48 PM ----------

Sorry; one more thing. I am not seeing any traffic on my webserver, so I have a feeling I might be missing something on the fulfillment configuration.

Thanks again!

Mark
[Google Home] ctrlaltca:
The make_query intent should have no response set, but have the "Set this intent as end of the conversation" flag enabled.

Anyway, that error you receive is just a really developer-unfriendly way for the google server to tell you that it didn't receive a valid response from your server.

This can be a valid symptom of problems.

I'd first check if the php script is able to query the subsonic server; here's a short writeup: https://github.com/ctrlaltca/google-home-subsonic/wiki/Test-invocation

Once that is confirmed to work, try to open the full url to index.php using a browser and ensure it replies correctly with something like

{"source":"subsonic","fulfillmentText":"Problema nella richiesta: nessuna azione"}

.

Once you have the full url to index.php, enable the "Webhook" switch in the Fulfillment page and insert that url as the Fulfillment Webhook URL; if i remember correctly, a valid https certificate is needed (you should be fine with letsencrypt, i'm using it, too).
[Google Home] ShinikVeech:
Scratch that; I had some intermediate cert issues that I have now resolved. Looks good, thanks!

By the way, I've added English translation and I'm making some tweaks here: https://github.com/mavenius/google-home-subsonic
[Google Home] ctrlaltca:
Glad to know you got it to work!

I had a look at your commits, I've tried using search3 in the past but found out it to be more confusing when searching big libraries, as it tends to mix up artist and song names.

Eg. if i want to play "like a rolling stone" by Bob Dylan, sometimes i get a random song from the "Rolling Stones" band or a song from an album called "Rolling Stone Magazine's 500 Greatest Songs Of All Time".

But i have to admin that sometimes it's easier to just search on all fields.. maybe a different intent can be added.
[Google Home] ShinikVeech:
Yeah, I'm going back and forth on that. I think I'm going to add intents for some other use cases (shuffle {artist}, e.g.) but I'm still deciding how I want to do that.

Thanks again for putting this together!

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Exelios:
So I just confirmed with Phhusson Treble ROMs working on our Taimen.

Taimen was long time the only device that supported Treble but could not benefit from Treble based ROMs becuase of verified boot, but a way around it has just been confirmed working.

See https://android.googlesource.com/platform/build/+/master/target/board/treble_common.mk#52 for the code behind it

And this vbmeta.img from Phhusson allows bypassing verified boot https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=890129502657591211 this image is to be flashed to vbimage partition right after flashing treble system image

Credits to Phhusson for the code and work on Treble

Credits to me for all the testing and debugging

Credits to MishaalRahman for the idea

So what does any of this mean? Pixels run stock android as stock rom anyway?

True, currently it doesn't make much sense to use Phh rom over stock, but Treble might make things much easier for custom ROM devs and future ROMs once support from Google ends.

Cheers

Cool! Does this potentially mean that possibly custom ROMs would be able to be flashed on locked bootloaders

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] TheNightman:
I mean yea this is all well and good but until we have an img we can flash with fastboot to give us access to all (samsung, htc, lge, MIUI) custom spins of android this really won't attract much attention. I'm looking forward to it as much as you, since we can poke and prod at these vendor images to find a way to simplify ROM creation. However I have yet to encounter such images. I guess I'm pretty new to this stuff so maybe there's someone out there with access to the latest samsung vendor images.

The concept of flashing a single vendor.img to the bootloader to switch android 'spins' is in itself an extrEMELY attrActive one. I hope the android gods bless us with such a revalation.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Punraz_:
i tried it with rr treble but does not work for me.

i clean flashed all , do a factory reset . After that i flash system image to system . And now? vbmeta flash in twrp to boot or vendor?

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gunshots911:
So this is a bit of an odd situation my friend is having. He bought his Note 4 off eBay over a year ago, and it was (and still is) a rooted mess. And I mean a big mess. Now I'm trying to help him fix it, because he can't update his phone at all whatsoever from 5.1.1. So I send him 6.0.1 firmware for O2U and have him go into Download mode, odin, all that fun stuff. Download mode says SM-N910T. Settings says SM-N910F. Anyway, he tries flashing the firmware via odin, fails, I have him try multiple things (I'm pretty tech savvy when it comes to this type of stuff) but it always failed. Also, "Current Binary" and "System Status" are both custom, and the KNOX counter is 0x1.

So what I'm asking is, how to fix this problem for him? What steps should he take (or should I help him take)? Is this actually a T-Mobile phone from the USA, but rooted to work with O2 sim cards? The hell is going on here?

Thanks for any replies, and all suggestions will be taken seriously and addressed. :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] w41ru5:
Install the Phone INFO Samsung APK by vndnguyen and see what it's written there.

Get the serial number - example: mine is a 910C with serial RF8H70D.... and so on (obviously I can't write it all here)

With this serial number try with Samsung Smart Switch on the PC and see what info you get. Also you have the possibility to get the latest original firmware installed on the phone.

Good luck.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trex888:
Looks like its an refurbished note 4 original motherboard is N910T and faked with N910F software cuz N910F has more value in Market.

So the bottom line is you have N910T Tmobile note 4 and you have to flash N910T firmware but after flash firmware from odin you have to immediately boot into stock recovery by pressing 3 button combo and do factory reset to get clean fresh opreating system otherwise it will get stuck in a bootloop at samsung logo.

First boot after flash and factory reset can take upto 10 minutes.

You can get firmware from www.sammobiles.com/firmwares

Or from link below for faster download.

https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=890129502657581810

Remember once you flash this latest marshmalow firmware there is no way you can ever downgrade to 5.1.1 again.

Good luck

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Accessories] rlatjs17:
Just purchased the Pursuit for the s9+ and I've used it for about a day. I tried both the defender and the pursuit before going with the pursuit.

The reasons on why I chose the pursuit are the size, durabilty and tempered glass fitment.

The pursuit is slightly thinner thickness wise and width wise but slightly taller height wise. Thickness we're talking a couple(2-3) millimeters. Width wise it was much more noticeable because I had an easier time holding the phone with one hand.

I've used the defender series before for my s4, s5 and s7 edge. The defender comes in 3 separate pieces(excluding holster) and the pursuit is 2 pieces but no holster. The two pieces for the pursuit are a back piece with the 4 walls and a thin plastic "outer" piece that holds the phone around the outer edges to the bottom piece. The back piece is made of hard plastic on the back with the 4 walls(top bottom sides) made of hard rubber. The rubber is the slippery kind of rubber and the plastic is extra slippery.

The defender is slightly different. It has 2 inner plastic pieces that secure the phone and a thick rubber outer shell that goes around the plastic shell. The defenders I've used for previous galaxies the rubber would always start loosening up after you put on/remove the case several times. You won't have that issue with the pursuit.

Both cases have similar coverage over the edges so size wise any glass screen protector that fits either one should fit the other. But I feel the pursuit will be able to fit larger glass screen protectors by tucking them under the plastic outer cover. The defender has small latches on the the plastic inner shell that needs to be latched.

I'll be buying a glass screen protector this week for my s9+ this week so I'll know for sure if it fits on the pursuit.

I'll upload pics of the pursuit when I get home.

You can Google galaxy s9 pursuit and there should be a 1 min video from otterbox themselves to get the jist of the case.

The defender is $60 and the pursuit is $80.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Accessories] millertyme1990:
Screen Protector

I just upgraded from the Galaxy S6 Active to the S9+. I found your post right after I received my new phone and have been waiting for your update. I'm trying to decide on a screen protector that is compatible with the pursuit. I'm very particular on screen protectors and don't want to waste money on one I'm not happy with.

My only concern with the pursuit is the compatibility of screen protectors. Otterbox advertises the alpha glass as it is made to work with their cases and with some research I've done reading in other forums it seems that some screen protectors will break when putting the pursuit case on. I'm not sure if I want the alpha glass because it has been reviewed poorly and there is no mention that alpha glass has an oleophobic coating.

Just curious on what screen protector you go with and how it fits with your pursuit case.

Also thanks for your first post! It helped me decide on getting the pursuit myself. I was worried it wasn't worth the steep price but I'm very happy with it.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Accessories] rlatjs17:
I'm waiting for a $20 generic whitestone clone to come in the mail. As of right now I just have a plastic screen protector i bought from Ebay for $10 for a pack of 4.

I was hoping for a full coverage glass screen protector so i can tuck it under the plastic lip since I can fit my finger nail under around the whole phone.

I wish otterbox made the defender with the plastic screen. I took out the plastic screen protector on the s7 edge defender and was able to fit a full coverage glass protector under it without any issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Accessories] Hero77:
I just swapped my defender out for the clear pursuit. Defender was too bulky. It was annoying.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Accessories] shook187:
$80 case seems just a bit to steep for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Accessories] bamfsig45:
I too bought the clear pursuit case.

Pros:

works with Whitestone dome.

The clear back allows your skin to show.

great protection, not too bulky, good grip.

The bottom speaker is directed forward with the built in Port.

The flaps that cover the charging port are not stiff like my past experience with these types of cases.

Cons:

Price, it's too steep imo but it's a quality case.

Tough to put on and take off very often.

neither con or pro:

buttons are stiffer than I like but there won't be any accidental presses.

With this case and the whitestone dome I really feel like I can drop this phone and not worry. Piece of mind is worth the price of the screen protector and case as I don't carry insurance on my phone's.

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m3nt:
Hi, phone from my friend is in a bootloop, stuck on google logo. Phone is in the service now but I have a question, I was searching different guides for a fix and they all require unlocked bootloader but phone is locked and you need to Enable OEM Unlock in developer settings which is not possible atm.

But my question is this, why does nexus 5x requires unlocked bootloader if I want to reflash factory image ? Isn't locked bootloader only if you want to flash custom software, did I miss something with nexus 5x ? I am using Oneplus One so i am not sure what's the thing with nexus. I found basic guide to reflash factory image and in one of the steps it says bootloader needs to be unlocked.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] herofmm:
Because the factory image cannot fix the problem. You will need a custom kernel which disable the big cores.

In order to unlock bootloader, you can heat up your phone (using a hairdrier) to boot temporarily. Google with "nexus 5x bootloop hair dryer".
