[Discussion] Open Touch v4.0 | WM 6.1 | T-Mobile Wing!

As always the following rules apply with all of my roms except for the game part since the lite version do not include them..
====================================
Goals
Create a rom that will offer the following to end users.
Faster
Any body can build a rom faster than the stock one, but will it be more stable?
Looks slick
A phone that will have an interface your proud to show off to your family and friends.
Storage
Extra storage space in case you were not able to buy a sd card.
Easy to use
Comes with apps already install so people do not have to waste too much time downloading extra apps and etc.
Stable
A rom that you will not have to soft reset daily. Fixing common issues found with the original rom.
Fun
A rom with extra games so when your stuck some where and there is nothing to do, you can always play games.
====================================
There will be two versions:
Open Touch v4.0 UC
This one will be like the lite but with the following options.
1. UC added but with a twist, meaning it will not auto load, you will have the option to run it yourself.
2. Open Touch Cab Center = I'm going to include some commanly used cabs with the rom, you choose which ones you want and need.
3. Voice speed dial and voice command have been added and working.
Specs:
6MB Pagepool
45MB+ Storage and 26MB+ Programs - Due to Voice command
Open Touch v4.0 Biggy

"2. Open Touch Cab Center = I'm going to include some commanly used cabs with the rom, you choose which ones you want and need."
Does this mean we can add any cab we want to the rom or we can only choose what cabs you have included? Keep up the good work.

Looking good. You may want to include the new radio in this rom.

I've included commanly used cabs with this rom. You will simply go to Cabs Center and click to install the ones you need or want.
There will also be another option within the Cab Center for you to install cabs from your sd card.

I'm trying to have the beta ready for the beta team to test tomorrow.
I'm currently working on adding more cabs to the rom.

Great!! I am done with finals, now have time to play!!

i know...
its been asked but i just read a thread and it confused me, i have the 3.0 biggy on my device and used USPL for the rom, but now am i goin to need to need HardSPL to install this new rom since its not clean 'out of the box'...i read tht as long as ur IPL and SPL were above 4.0 then u can still use USPL to install...or am i completly wrong?

That's wrong information...
I don't like to force people to use HARD-SPL unless they want to.
I mean I could include it as a package and have people just become HARD-SPL without knowing, but that would be the wrong thing to do.
I know that the current installation process is kind of old but it's made for folks that do not wish to have their devices become HARD-SPL.

Awesome, thanks for your quick response and great work, cant wait...

I am a little confused.
so if i understand correctly.
in UC version after the install it will give us option which cabs to install right?
if that is the case isn't that going to affect the size of the installed rom and space after install is done

You are correct, if you notice the program and storage space is less than the v3.0 lite, but not much..
There are two options, one is to install cabs already included in the rom, which will reduce some of the space.
Two install cabs from your own sd card to your sd card which will not effect the ram size.
In the original UC, you have to have your config file and cabs already on your sd card before flashing the rom. Since it will auto install after the flashing has completed. I've made it where you can use the UC option when your ready.

Looks good, i'm excited! i've been waiting to try and fix my phone till 4.0 was released.

Is there any way to have the theme the same color as the backround? It matches my wing PERFECTLY. I've been searching around for a navy blue-ish theme with no luck. Even if you can just provide a cab to have that nstead of the black htc theme would be great.

mabye i diddnt see the answer in the previous posts, but you said you are releasing a beta tonight? and when you do release beta, how long are you planing on keeping it beta untill you release the final version?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
No,
I'm going to release the beta version only to the beta team tomorrow for testing. This takes a day or two depending on how many issues come up.
Once everything looks good I will then release it.
Regards,

will bbconnect work with this rom?

I like that - so does this mean no more 5 - 7 hours installation process for me? That's about how long it takes for me to install from start to finish after flashing. I like the lite and slimeline versions btw.

i am waiting eagerly for this ROM.. if you are including voice speed dial, can you please make sure that registry entries and the voice command files are included ? secondly if possible can you please take care of the home screen not aligning correctly when switching from landscape to portrait

[ROM][Updated 25/01/11] Higgsy Modded v1.08 RC2 - Easy Installer!

Well I'm kind of in the mood after getting some good feeback from my Defy ROM, so seen as though v1.08 has been released by Advent - I thought I would try and get a release based on this out - try and liven up the vega section on XDA!
As I've said before - I aint no Dev and don't profess to be. I know a fair bit about Android, but I don't compile, what I can do, is put things together that make it easy for others.
As you can see I've marked this as a release candidate, so I'm open to suggestions of what else could be included/improved on, although this is meant to be an unbloated blank canvas for people to build on.
ROM Includes:
Advent v1.08 base
Flash (You may need to reinstall by browsing to /system/etc/shuttle_priv and reinstalling the app in there)
Launcherpro
Gapps (No Gmail - I don't use the app - download from the market if you want it)
High Res Gallery
Moduleap screen calibration app
ES File manager
New for RC2:
Included small notification bar
Custom Boot screen
Modaco USB Switcher (Host/Slave)
Optional Clockworkmod Recovery
Added stock taskmanager back in (even though I think its fairly poor)
My favourite part of this is the installer - I don't think you can get much simpler than this. I'm sorry to Mac and Linux users, but this is a windows installer package, I've never owned a mac (and probably never will) and have limited linux experience.
Install process:
This assumes you have already have the Vega nvflash/adb drivers installed.
1) Download Higgsy_Modded_v1.08_Vega_RC2.exe here
2) Make a backup of your current ROM using clockworkmod recovery (If you use it).
3) I Also advise a backup of your apps/app data via Titanium Backup.
4) Boot into nvflash recovery using the following method:
Disconnect power cable if connected
Power the Vega off
Reconnect the power cable
Hold the back button for 2 seconds
Keeping the back button held down, press and hold the power button for 2 secs
You should hear a "bing bong" from the PC - if so release the buttons
If you don't get a bing bong, disconnect power for 10 secs then reconnect and try the process again.
5)Once you are in nvflash mode execute the Higgsy_Modded_Vega_v1.08_RC1.exe you downloaded, once complete hit enter when the DOS window prompts you.
6)Wait 10 secs and then power on the device as normal.
Installation for Clockworkmod Package:
1)Download the Clockworkmod_Install.exe from here
2)Make sure your Vega is connected to your PC and you have USB debugging enabled on the device
3)Double click the Clockworkmod_Install.exe program and let it do its bit
4)Once the DOS window disappears then it all done.
5)I recommend a standard shutdown/cold boot after install (prob don't need this, but I like to do it anyways.
I had previously posted earlier that clockworkmod was giving black screen, I can now confirm that installing via the above method, has stopped this for me- I have done 3 reflashes/install clockwork/boot into clockwork/flash a zip/reboot/cold boot and it hasn't black screened me, I was probably trying to be a bit clever trying to integrate things I didn't need to, and to be fair its better as an optional extra anyway.
Further note from me on clockwork mod after someone reported BSOD:
Clockworkmod is hit and miss, I spent best part of a day testing/reflashing and in the end I got it to work without any issues, i.e. the usual BSOD after first cold boot after using clockworkmod. What I found prevented it earlier was after using clockwork mod to backup/restore/flash zip etc, was to reboot back into clockworkmod straight away and then just hit reboot in clockworkmod as soon as it loaded up, then if you cold boot after this it loaded up ok. I think the key thing if you are going to use clockwork, is take a recovery straight after setting everything up, then its not so much of a biggy if it does black screen.
Enjoy the ROM
Thanks go to the following:
[email protected] for all my hosting
[email protected] for the Recovery.img/app for the vega. and USB switcher (And indeed kicking of the whole vega scene) At the end of the day Modaco got me into android and for that I'm grateful.
[email protected] for High Res Gallery3D
Fede Carnales for Launcherpro, that is included in the rom.
Estrongs team for a great file explorer.
Advent for making the technology available at an affordable price/original firmware.
Anyone else who thinks they should be thanked.
Please don't post this on other forums without asking me first

in my opinion very nice, I will be completely honest - I have compared this and it is mostly advent adding the newer tegra drivers in, there are other differences and additions too though.
would like some feedback from others on the installer and if its working sweet for them (it is for me)

Well if the others working good for you then just stay with that, this is just another option

If this had a small notifications bar I would be flashing it now. I think I will wait (unless you can add this )

I couldn't decide which way to go with that, I always used the small notification before, some like it some don't. I'll make an update.zip add on. easily done.
Edit: I want to compile it myself too (framework-res) and not use the other one thats available, gives me more experience if I do it myself.

Genius, thanks (I could do it but am incredibly lazy tonight + lets you keep the credit for doing it )

Very nice indeed
Waiting for the small notification bar as well though

Oh and Higsy, please don't tell me you own an android phone and don't use Gmail???!!! if so why the hell not?

Thanks Higgsy, will give this a go tomorrow. If you are going to modify this yourself, would it be possible to have a semi-transparent small notification bar as an optional update.zip? Or if you know of a good n00b guide to do so, it would be appreciated.
Cheers

Hi Higgsy,
Thanks for making this easy for us that are not so well informed and those that can't be bothered
Mine crashed tonight, Nothing to do with your update, but would it be ok to use your update to bring it back to life

Nope don't use it never have, don't like it. If I had the choice I would include the motorola blur email app - coz I like that the best.

Great work Higgsy.
I would like to see button savior installed as default, its a must for the vega. Also would like the small taskbar. Also does this contain flash?
Thanks mate

Small notification bar patch added to the OP, changes something else too, spot the difference.

Again button saviour is a must, I agree, my aim here was to provide a blank canvas with only the basics. To be honest there aint a great deal of space in /system. If people agree then I'll include it in the next release.
Flash included and works, you may need to reinstall it by going into /system/etc/shuttle_priv/selecting the app to install. I'll update the OP coz I forgot about that.

I notice in the screenshot that the kernel version is v1.06 is that a mistake. i have flashed the official firmware and it says v1.08.

MTK 6575 STAR N8000 GUIDE AND BEST CUSTOM ROM INSTALLATION GUIDE.
<ul>
<li>First off I started this thread to seperate the current thread for this phone that is riddled with question and answeres and it is super difficult to find what you need to find in the thread. I am writing this guide and thread to give back to the forum for the many days and hours I spent finding everything I needed to find, to root, flash and mod this phone properly. My hopes are with my knowledge on the subject you wont have to spend hours of fruitless searching like I did to find what you need. I'd like this thread to stay uncluddered with multitude of questions if you have them, message me or go to this thread here and post please: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695210&page=96
<li>I would like for anyone finding new ROMS, making custom firmwares for this phone to please add them here to begin a nice list of ROMS custom or official for people to be able to find them in one place.
<li>First off i'd like to give credit were credit is due. Shout outs to;

and anyone else I may be forgeting I appologize
The Guide
<li>Follow Bruno Martins guide for setting up sp flasher here: http://bm-smartphone-reviews.blogspot.it/2012/05/mt6575-flashing-tutorial.html#comment-form
<li>​Just some notes and observations that were not mentioned in his guide that will help. In order to install the drivers try right clicking the driver for your system and selecting install. If that doesn't work here is what you do. Turn off your phone, take the battery out, put it back in (if you don't do this it will just show a charging symbol) now plug it in, it should attempt to install the drivers and fail, at this point go to your start button, search programs and files and type device manager, when it comes up select the one with an exclamation point and right click it, select update drivers, point it to the driver folder and then your operating system folder, i.e. vista, windows 7. If the attempt to install does not work download http://narod.ru/disk/57204199001.bb08022cc3658b67af84bc83bd330b0c/20120705_e1808_v75_jbl1.zip.html extract the folder.
<li>Download http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?htx4lkktne1jmzg recovery image and place and replace the recovery in the folder above.
<li>Do not have your phone connected to your computer, open sp flashtool downloaded from Bruno martins guide select scatter-loading on the right select the scatter file in the extracted folder, deselect everything but the recovery i.e. only have recovery selected! Click the download button.
<li>Turn off your phone, remove the battery, put the battery back in plug in your phone, it should now attempt to install drivers, again it will fail, start, search programs and files, device manager, right click the one with the exclamation mark, select update, select driver folder, select your windows version, yes on any warnings, now installed.
<li>NOTE: I recommend never plugging in your phone until you hit the download button and it says searching with sp flashtool. It doesn't react if it's plugged in before then.
<li>O.K. So at this point you should have your drivers installed and recovery as well. Almost there.
So next download http://www.sendspace.com/file/oj1fv2 2 gb internal memmory and 500 mb external. Essentially what this zip does is make your phone have 2 gigs of internal space and 500 mb external instead of 500 mb internal and 2 gigs external, super cool.
Don't do anything yet though.
<li>Next download http://www.sendspace.com/file/uj3jqx This is the ultimate rom I spent some time on for our phones, it's android 4.06 while it's not orriginally mine I fixed a lot of issues and made it much, much, better and pre-rooted with buisy box.
<li>Next download http://www.sendspace.com/file/7yfizd That's right GOOGLE NOW fully working, really cool, works perfect you'll love it!
<li>Now that you have them downloaded put them on your SD card. Here is were people kept telling me if your external doesn't work you can just put it on your internal Sd card. DON”T DO IT! If your external doesn't work you put a smaller one in a 2 gig works nicely, I had a 16 gig and it wouldn't read, had an old 2 gigger laying around and read it just fine. Heres why you don't use the internal, your flashing the internal memmory!! It will mess everything up!
<li>That said, files on the sd card put it in your phone.
<li>Press power while holding the up or + volume, release power continue to hold the volume and you'll eventually go into recovery menu.
<li>Use volume to navigate power to select.
<li>Select wipe data/factory reset, confirm.
<li>Select wipe cache partition, confirm
<li>select advanced, select wipe dalvik cache, confirm.
<li>Now select install zip from sd card, choose zip from sd card and select the custom rom file, confirm.
<li>Go back and reboot, let the phone reboot to system, as a side note screen will be moving white, its just the wallpaper. After full boot up let system settle then hold power and select recovery.
<li>Once back in recovery select install zip from sdcard, choose zip from sdcard and select the 2 gig zip, install.
<li>Select choose zip from sd card and select the google now zip and install, now reboot your phone, and love the awesomeness. By the way it's just google in your app dawer or choosable when you select the microphone on your home screen.
FLASHING OTHER ROMS
<li>There are two different types of ROMS you can flash.
<li>Official-These are official builds and releases made for your phone. These will be flashed by using sp flashtool. Now our phones also have unique hadware sometimes different from phone to phone. Chinese are pretty infamous for mixing and matching hardware. That being said you need to have software settings set for your particular hardware. You do this by using a particular software called SP MDT which you can download here: http://www.sendspace.com/file/6kee8d When you download the file run it. Select your scatter file, then select the button with the question marks, select unlock, the first one on the left is for your rear camera, middle is for front and finally right is for your screen setting which most people have trouble with and think they bricked their phone. The only way to truly test this is trial and error, if your screens normal you''ve selected the right screen setting, if your cameras work they are also on the right setting. Now close SP MDT and it auto saves the settings for you and use sp flashtool as normal.
<li>Custom-These are modded and themed developer ROMS, these are installed by flashing from recovery and generally do not effect your screen and camera settings because the do not contain uboot data.
Troubleshooting
<li>Don't flash NVRAM and UBOOT if your phone already works fine with cameras and LCD screen!
<li>My phone will not connect to install drivers- Many methods have been mentioned, but the one that works is-power your phone off, take out the battery wait 5 sec, put battery back in, now plug in your phone to the pc, it should attempt to install drivers and fail, go to start then type in the search box device manager, select it, right click the one with the exclamation mark, choose update. If that doesn't work, run sp flashtool select your scatter file choose what you want to install, select download button, now follow the steps provided above and plug in your phone. Also The cord that you use to pluggin to your computer may be the issue, if it does not transfere files when you plug it in normally then it wont work for the drivers, some of them are charge only I found that out myself when two of mine didn't work.
<li>My sd card can't mount in recovery-Most likely cause SD card is incompatible i.e. too big, use a smaller 2 gig card, do not use internal memmory as others suggest, it can mess things up and I advise against it.
<li>SCREEN PROBLEMS! Psychedelic colors, black, white, gray and others. CAMERA PROBLEMS! No camera, wont focus etc. Etc.... You need two programs spflashtool found here: http://www.sendspace.com/file/bh81se and SP_MDT found here: http://www.sendspace.com/file/6kee8d You also need an official firmware. Open SP_MDT go to the box that says scatter file, point it to your official firmware scatter file, then click the box with all the question marks, press unlock, the first option is your rear camera, the second option is your front facing camera, the last option is your lcd settings which make it look normal (not phsychedelic and wacky). Now these settings vary from phone to phone so you just have to trial and error them, basically if your screen is right, the seting is right, if your camera works the setting is correct. Now you can close the SP_MDT don't worry it saves your settings for you even though you just close it. Go into SP Flash tool Now you can flash the whole ROM but you don't have too, you only need to select UBOOT it will give you a warning it's perfectly fine, thats all you need to flash to fix your settings, and it wont mess up your current ROM.
Official Roms
<li>Flash With SP Flash tool, Do Not Check UBOOT or NVRAM Unless you have already messed up camera and LCD settings in which case you need to follow the troubleshooting section.

Wow, thanks for putting the time into making a comprehensible thread. Cant wait to get some free time to root my n8000. How's the battery life in the ROM and are there any bugs? will report back if i run into any issues.

Hello
what is the point of having two threads for the same device.?
why did you not just post this there in the correct place?
surly it is much better to have one place to go to for all the answers and to ask, the N8000 thread has developed as the device has
you will just be adding to others confusion
good luck.

If you visit any of the other threads Of different phones they actually contain multiple threads which keep things uncluttered, so that people can find what they need that was my goal with this thread. They don't just contain one huge single thread.

thanks for your work!one question: your rom is good with battery? is it ondemand or performance dispatcher?

Incompatible apps
Thanks for the guide I've now got the 4.0.6 Rom on my phone. one problem, the play store says a lot of apps aren't compatible with my phone. I'm assuming this is because its a 4.0.6 Rom is there anyway to make the play store think you have 4.0.4 so it will let you download them or any other way to download these supposedly incompatible apps?

there is no android 4.0.6 this rom is based on android 4.0.3

Okay I've now tried a 4.0.4 Rom and its still saying loads of apps are not compatible when downloading from google play? These apps worked fine when I was on the stock 4.0.3 Rom.

sendspace.com/file/uj3jqx was 4.0.6 is a moded version of android 4.0.3 the build.prop file has been edited 4.0.6 there is a build.prop file somewhere that lets google play compatible with all apps.

I have tried all of the moded roms from the Russian and Chinese sites where all these roms come from if the dpi is set to anything over than 240 google play most apps are not compatible check your build.prop file /system there will be something like this ro.sf.lcd_density=190 delete it then try google play again if you want a different dpi you need a moded google play apk

This is really important to note. Newer phones have JBL2, and the JBL1 stuff at worst soft-bricks them and at best takes away auto-focus from the camera (still working on this, but seems permanent for now).

waiting

Actually the rom was created by alexey arsenev, will work on jbl2 but need to flash with jbl2 boot image.. But autofocus will not function..

Yes -- it works! I've done it.
I'm sorry that you're not going to find one step-by-step guide for this phone, but all the info is here.
This is a very hard phone to "break" in a permanent sense, but I'd read as much as you could stand before you began to avoid headaches that others have had before you. Between the two threads here, there are 150 or so pages of info. Especially important things to note: Make sure you have the right phone (not quite as easy it sounds) and make sure you note all the current details of your software before you get under the hood.
In order to use Google Now, you'll first need to root your phone and install a custom recovery (if those don't make sense, use the Google to search for an overview).
For our phone, I'd start with the first page of this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695210
So, the question becomes: Do you have root and a custom recovery?
FWIW, Google Now is interesting but has yet to seem revolutionary to me. Seems like something that will be amazing three or four generations from now.

Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-i9300 MT6575​
Hello Everybody!
I own a Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-i9300 CLONE, the MT6575.
It is possible to put Android on this phone, and there are different versions which you can put on your phone, however, not all of them work fully. I am not responsible if you brick your phone, or any damage done to it, but hopefully, there shouldn't be much damage done.
Not sure this is your phone?​
If you have any doubts that this is not your phone, please do not download or use the roms linked here, This can destroy your phone!
As I only have the MT6575, I do not know the differences between this and other phones, but this phone should have 2 Sim card slots (Covered with silver foil to start off with), and a battery which reads SUNSANG (Not SAMSUNG).
Some Images:​
Sorry that some are pretty bad quality, I was using a temp. webcam when I took them and the webcam had a bad resolution.
UPDATE: I now have a galaxy ace so im not going to be using this phone much. I found a replacement charging port as mine broke. Any problems reply here and somebody will try to help! I dont check back often here, but i know some users do. Not many people have this phone so i thinnk this thread is kinda dead! If anybody wants to update the roms and stuff, feel free. I dont host the roms, its Pappiedappie, so pm him if you cant get the links! Have fun with this fun, its a decent phone for the price! Good luck![/URL]​

Downloads
** IF SOME LINKS DON'T WORK, PLEASE PM HOPELESS_GUY103. IF YOU WANT YOUR LINK HERE, PM ME ASWELL **
** THE RAPIDSHARE LINKS HAVE STOPPED WORKING, I've tried to PM Pappiedappie as they are his links, but otherwise you can find all of the files HERE **
The Factory (Original) Rom which came on my phone when I bought it can be found HERE
The Modified Recovery for the mt6575 can be found HERE
Andriod 4.1.1 OS With camera fix can be found HERE
A signed version of " Gapps-ics-20120429 " Can be found HERE

There is a link that I have found HERE, and also HERE but I have not tried downloading any of the ROM's and therefore do not know if they work, and they could be for a 1 sim phone, I don't know.
Most of these links come from pappiedappie's signature, which contains some very useful links! Thank you!

FLASHING GUIDE
What's needed:
USB data cable
MediaTek USB VCOM drivers
SP Flash Tool ( Latest version SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1224.01)
First of all, make sure that you have MediaTek DA USB VCOM drivers installed.
Flashing the whole ROM​
First of all open SP Flash Tool, then click Scatter-loading button to load the correct scatter file
(MT6575_Android_scatter_emmc.txt or MT6577_Android_scatter_emmc.txt, depending on which phone you have) for your device and ignore any message that may appear.
Turn off your phone, remove the battery and replace it after some seconds (and don't turn on the phone).
Press F9 (or hit Download button) and connect your phone into the computer via USB data cable.
The process will start and a red progress bar will appear.
After the red progress bar is complete, there will appear a purple progress bar.
Right after the purple progress bar is complete, a message will appear underneath it:
“Please insert USB cable in x seconds” and then the download will start right away (you will see the yellow progress bar filling up).
When the yellow bar is complete, you'll get a popup with a green circle and Download OK message,
which means that the process has been successfully terminated.
You can now safely disconnect your phone and turn it on. The process ends here.
Flashing only part of the ROM​
In case you want to flash just one part of the ROM, that is also possible. In the shown example, only recovery image will be flashed.
Deselect all parts except the one(s) you want to flash and then press F9 (or hit Download button).
The tool will immediately show a warning because not all parts are selected, but you should continue anyway. Safely press Yes to continue.
The download of the chosen partition image will start and after the yellow bar is complete, the popup with the green circle should appear.
Please note that, even though it isn't mandatory to select it on the list of images to flash,
preloader file must be present in the same folder as the other partition(s) that you want to flash, or else phone will not be able to enter into download mode.
Attention: Please follow the instructions carefully. I will not take any responsibility on whatever may happen with your phone.
Very important warning: Always make sure that you trust the sources of the ROM you download and know that it is meant for your phone.
After flashing a wrong preloader, your phone will be completely dead (can't be powered on, it will not charge and won't be detected anymore by the computer) and there is no way to recover it.

Hi,
In this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1921178), if you read through it, I believe there is also somebody else who has a 1 sim phone.
If you take off the back cover, above the battery, there may be a CONCEALED 2nd sim slot, under some foil. If there is, You should have the right phone as the one in this forum, if not, check the other thread.

Cool. I will follow. I have this phone but my battery does indeed say samsung. I have two and they both say samsung.

Nice..good luck with this thread. As long as I own such phone I'll follow this thread and will help when possible. Keep on this work.

if possible op please upload the 4.1 rom on dev host

Hiya,
I don't actually know how to make the roms, they have been created by others. If you have a link, please PM me it, so i can put it on the main page. However, I think the last link in PappieDappie's sig. is 4.1.1 Dekdee?
I thought that seeming as the other old thread never got updated, I should make a new one, as it would help new people find their way.
Also, if you see a samsung galaxy sIII theme for andriod, please let me know, as normal andriod looks a lil different from samsung andriod
thanks

Hi...
Wonderful Thread......and very informative.......Just couple of suggestions........
1) If you could ask / request all users and posters in this thread to include 2 Pics of their Phone....front and Back (with back cover removed, showing battery, SIM(s)and Memory Card) .....this so everyone can figure out what phone He or She is using and would seek any help from the User of same phone.
2) If you could attach the Pics of the ROM (s) that are posted here.......along with the About System Pic.
I think it would be very helpful to you.....and to all the Users of this thread.....Everyone will know exactly what they are looking for.
Also.....if these ROMS's can be flashed via CWM or Custom Recovery.......that information can also be provided....
these are just suggestions......
Thanxxx

You have to change the home screen background too. On your launcher, press the left menu button, then System Settings, Display, Wallpaper and pick a option from there.
Then again, it depends what rom you are using.

Tips
Hey! I have some tips!! I have a camera.apk that works for our phone. You have to push it to system though. It has camera, video, and panroma (sorry I don't know how to spell it) works perfectly it's not upside down!!! I also have svoice if you want it.I also suggest you guys use xposed if youre rooted and then use tweakbox if you want to change your status bar and clock color! It's so easy!!
Also, I tweaked my 4.1.9 rom, but I'm not sure how to put it together like a zip so others can use it! There are some pics of my rom using nova launcher!

[Q] Some questions about my Lenovo A850

I have quite a lot of questions regarding my rooted Lenovo A850 since I googled it and found no answer so I need answers from all of you professional devs.
Briefly, I bought the phone (stock non-root) at my country at a very cheap price (RM320 if not mistaken, equivalent to $97 since it's an offer) and when I first boot up my phone, I mostly saw chinese apps (including the dialpad app). So I didn't really care about that at first.
Then I faced storage problem, at that time I don't know the cause so I just moved on, till the day that I cannot install any games in it.
At that time, I don't know what fills system storage, maybe WhatsApps media, maybe pre-loaded apps.
So at this time these questions poped up my head (you can answer this Q's):
1. Why are some of this system apps are unpractical (really, it's no use having them)?
2. Why Shen Ma Game ( Google it if you don't know) appeared as an undeletable GAME (it's a GAME, yet rated system app, neither uninstall nor disable work), I mean why that useless game rated as system app?
3. Players Tutorial is not working, ANR popped up when try to launch. Is there a way to fix that?
After probs and probs I resorted to root................ aaaaaaaand softbricked (lol my fault) and recovered.
After phone is repaired, I noticed something odd. The serviceman said to me that I actually rooted my phone successfully, with his face seems shocked (like I'm the only one can do that). It is because my phone is an AP set (made by manufacturer other than Lenovo itself) and theoretically impossible to mod that type of phone.
BUT I DID IT.
Oh back to odd thing, anybody know this type of Superuser?

It's also chinese in stock, but thankfully I can change the language with help from somebody.
With that said I have a happy time MODDING my phone.
List of Xposed mods:
Fonter
GravityBox
Greenify
HKThemeManager (i have a Q about this)
Holo Themer (this also)
Phab7
Smooth System ProgressBars
XBlast
XuiMod
Youtube AdAway
My questions about these are:
1. HKThemeManager doesn't seem to detect themes I downloaded (CM10 theme)
2. After applying Holo Themer, that circle loading anim doesn't show up, even the stock anim is not showing up
3. Is it safe to change my bootup screen? [if not i'll change it back to stock right away]
4. How to theme my stock rom, safely, entirely including Settings, dialpad app, drag-down menu and more?
Then another odd thing I notice, my stock rom is not ROW. (see pic)
You know what, I have a strong feel that this is CN rom , not ROW(it's because I previously tried to install TWRP ROW in it and the recovery is not booting up), and my rom is S203 (what is that?).
The build number is also strange, it shows [probably] the source of the rom came. So I kinda locked to stock rite now and still looking for ways to further mod my device
Kindly please answer my Q's and some recommendations about modding
Thanks!

The app was installed as a system app. It doesn't matter if it is a game. You can uninstall it with a Root Uninstaller from the store.

Chinese devs have developed a lot of "unknown" for the rest world Superuser apps,. If you have no problems with it leave it as it is, else search how to replace a Superuser app. I believe that the best superuser app right now is SuperSU.

Since your ROM is full Chinese, it must be CN. It is not odd not to write it on the firmware.

Official lenovo apps has a version number (ex. s121, s123, s203) and this numbers shows on which official firmware your custom ROM is based on.

Some of my schoolmates are techies (the one having jailbreaked iPhone 5c, another having an unknown brand of phone (srsly, i never seen it anywhere around) that can boot multiple ROMs in one phone and some more) so seeing modded phone is a routine for me, but if we're talking about an AP set phone, it's rare actually cuz very few had any trust on AP set phones (state-of-the-art the experience sucked) and modding it? You're likely falling into a trap.

I am completely fine with that type of Superuser cause' it's MUCH MUCH simpler to use though. The UI is super straightforward and doesn't nag too much.

mm...ok
But honestly, I do not want to be the first person to flash recovery on CN rom, I want to hear thoughts from somebody had done it so if you or anybody, can get the AP set of Lenovo A850 with such baseband ver. or that exact ROM, try flashing custom recovery on it and tell me how it performs? Is it safe to do? via USB or Mobileuncle?
ONE THING, I DO NOT WANT MY PHONE TO EXPERIENCE BOOTLOOP, BRICK OR SUCH CRAP, CUZ I DO NOT WANT TO INVEST ON REFLASHING IT AGAIN, BOU AT THE SAME TIME, I WANT TO DO MORE ON MY PHONE, SAFELY...
