For those that ask if there is lag
This is still an ALPHA build so please do not be to critical, it needs alot of themeing to be done and there is more i need to put on but i think everyone will be happy with the direction this is going with. This is inludes everything Striked off the list of things to include above.
After flashing it will boot right into clockwork, press power to reboot. Clearing cache partition and Dalvik is not a bad idea but if you dont it wont hurt anything.
[tip]If you do not already have voodoo installed boot time should be 5-7 mins do not panic just be patient.[/tip]

Extracting a compressed file (ex. zip or rar)
1.) Download and install Winrar HERE
2.) Locate the compressed file you would like to extract
3.)Right mouse click on the file icon a drop down menu will appear , select Extract Here
4.) You will then see a progress pop up window that will appear then when completed will close itself
5.)This will leave an extracted file in the destination folder
Congrats you have successfully extracted the compressed file it is now ready for use

To install ODIN packages on your device
1.Download and install drivers on your computer HERE
2. Next you will need to download the Altered Beast zip file from post #1 which will be extracted and placed in the PDA section of ODIN:
3.) You will need to download the ODIN application tool found here ODIN or ODIN MIRROR
4) Extract the Altered Beast zip file to get the .tar.md5 file
5.) If your phone is plugged into your computer, unplug it now.
6.) If your phone is not powered down, power it down now.
7.) Remove battery from phone.
8.) Launch ODIN on PC.
9.) Plug USB cable into phone.
10.) Plug your Droid Charge into the PC via the USB cable that came with your phone.
11.) Press and hold the volume down key until (approx 3 secs) you see a gigantic yellow triangle on your phone, and your phone will be in download mode. The first thin rectangle in the upper left of the ODIN applicate should also turn yellow and identify a com port. You can now release the volume key.
12.) Click on the PDA button in ODIN
Triple check that you pushed the PDA button. Do NOT click the Phone button prior to continuing to step 13. If you choose Phone, you will have bought your Fascinate a one-way ticket to hell.
13.) Find and double click on the Altered Beast .tar.md5 file you downloaded & click the Start button. (This should take approx 3 to 6mins)
14.) Phone will power down when finished.
15.) Close ODIN, remove USB cable from phone, reinsert battery, power on phone and let ROM fully load.
[TIP]It may boot into stock recovery simply Press the home button to reboot
It is also advised to wipe cache partition while you are in recovery [/TIP]
******************************************************************************************************************************************
[INFO]Visual Instructions [/INFO]
First you must download
Odin v1.3
Once odin is downloaded open it, its an executable file so when you open it you will see the following :
Once this is up, do the following
-Remove the battery from your Device
-Plug in the USB cord
-Hold down the Volume Down button until you see a big bright triangle on your screen , underneath it will say Downloading and beneath that it will say Do not turn off target
At this point you will see one of the boxes in the corner turn yellow, letting you know there is a connection, it will look like this
after you are connected you want to hit the PDA button, NEVER PHONE, phone will erase your modem and you will have trouble connecting after that at all.
when you click the PDA button a pop up will appear and you will need to select the file you would like to flash and then click open
now you will see the file appear in the PDA window ,, with connection made and the file in the PDA window, you may now hit Start
Once you hit start this process Should take approx. 5 mins if you are returning to stock . shouldnt take any less time than that and not much more. So dont start freaking out at min 2...(wait till min 7) lol
If you are flashing a Clockworkmod file it should take approx 7seconds.
once it is completed you should see the following window:
Once you have reached this screen it is safe to unplug , put your battery in and boot up..

Resolution
90% of problems associated with Odin are due to communication between phone and computer
Reboot your computer
Redownload the odin package
Use USB ports in the back of the computer, if you already are use a different port
Make sure you did not forget to remove battery from phone (Should be out the ENTIRE process)
make sure Odin is the only application running and Antivirus is DISABLED
If you are using a laptop make sure its plugged in also find the nearest desktop and try from there
****************************************************************************
After failed flash with odin upon power up the following is depicted on the screen
SOFT BRICK
Resolution
First off DO NOT PANIC. there is a simple solution, just remove the battery , plug the phone into the computer, press and hold volume down and it will enter download mode. Please review all the steps oulined in this thread and try and flash again

no i honestly i am not sure how to make it in zip flashable form yet hopefully a developer will show mercy upon me lol and show me how its done

I'm game!
Downloading now.
Just wanted to give y'all a big "THANKS" for all you do!
This is the first time I've flashed a ROM in a long time. SO far, it's been fun - let's see what this one does!
EDIT #1
WooHoo!
After rebooting, it booted into recovery mode (Red Text), so I just rebooted, and it went to the "Red Eye", and about 2 minutes later, we're golden!
BTW, the boot animation is still 'glitchy'. Could this be from my original flashing of v4 Kernel?
EDIT #2
Looks like email is missing....no ability to add either POP email or Exchange email, unless I'm missing something.

Thank you for the ROM ...loaded up perfectly. Are you planning on keeping the background image for the notification pull down or going with a solid color/transparent?

Rom is amazing.

UPDATE: nevermind, found the solution in the thread on androidcentral.
Thanks!
Ok, the rom booted up great. But I'm having calendar problems. I downloaded both the .apks. The calendarsync installed fine, but my accounts say sync is experiencing problems and will be back shortly. So I tried to install the calendarprovider and it won't install.
Help??
Thanks!

I think in the ROM imnuts created, he removed the stock samsung email app. Unless you're talking about something different entirely.

Wow, this ROM looks amazing! Seriously cannot wait to see how it progresses.

Keep up the great work! Followed your instructions and everything is going great. I'm about to download those apks and put them in the place to fix calendar.

anyone on that has the calendar problem?

Im using this rom and dont have the calender bug. Only.bug ive seen so far is when deleting a contact it erases it then force closes on me. But it still does its job so its all good

For some reason, I can't even access the Calendar on my phone. It's not even in the app launcher or anything like that. The widget still works, but even from the widget, I can't open the calendar. Any ideas?

The U0 "u-boot-nand.bin" in the archive "4325" is U-Boot 2009.08-svn733 (Jun 29 2011 - 14:11:58).

I suggest you load barsuk_CWMRecovery first, its down in the 2nd post..and do the usual wipes that you should do before flashing a rom..
Just a quick note, hopefully will save others some time too..
I think if you just went ahead and flashed the zip from the sdcard..
and now got 'android' loading with blinking cursor and no further..
For the hell of it, I did the same and got the same result..
The download is not a flash-able zip straight from the sdcard..
read further down for instructions
Then I went ahead and used the USB method..
[GUIDE] :: SuperPad/FlyTouch2/WWE10 Android 2.2 Froyo USB Flashing ::
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074251
No drama.. flashed and working fine.. just no camera at the moment.. I might play with some of the uboot's to see if it makes a difference.. but for now if you want your pad back.. I suggest go the USB route..
if you need a cable.. I use the same cable that comes with the usb cooling fans,
that power the cooling boards that people use under laptops.. Make sure you load the drivers or your computer will not recognize the pad.
Follow SmaRkieS thread and you should be fine..
If you cant burn the main android image using USB method.
You can try the MicroSD card method, but this is only applicable if your tablet will display the right uboot versions under the InfoTMIC start up logo.
@dyfren What does file zSYS.img?
I would say this is recovery.. I flashed it into this section..
hope this helps..
Will play over the weekend with it..
but at this stage running real smooth..

i had a go following the guide and it was fine until i got to flashing the actual Android image, (number 19 in the Guide). PC does its bit, then tablet comes up with "flashing/updating linux" (first bit tablet does) or something like that but the progress bar always stays empty, left it for 10-15 mins and still hadnt moved. tried the version in the guide and the version here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1067746
also tried SD card method, comes up with "Updating image hRamdisk" and a dead progress bar.
Which version of Android did you use at step 19?
Thanks for your help so far, seems to be getting there

Yes.. I recommend it.. makes it feel just that bit more snappy..
Once I get time this weekend will try the root methods..then load in the V6 scripts and see how it goes..
sent from yet another MikG HTC Evo

which u-boot are you using?
mines still getting stuck at "Updating image linux-2.6.32.9"

MS
mine is Uboot - V 0.6.1.2(587)
Try the usual.. plug unplug and reboot computer..
as IUW can be a bit painful..

anybody test this FW ? i wanna try that new 4325 .

rooting
Working root using universal androot 1.6.2beta5
@hunterx: 4325 is working very fast. IT won't shutdown when in standby but drains battery faster.

Someone can explain how to modify the firmware to support the 3G _Barsuk_ as he had done?

Thanks for the new ROM, just installed USB method, works fine.
Generaly looks very "snappy" for a Pad with only 256mb of RAM.
Camera "force closes"; Youtube works fine, and Wifi also.
I'll keep posting as long as i play with it.
Sheers

anyone got USB1 or USB2 readable?
when I plug them in I am getting "preparing memory device" then "memory device ready for remove"
To me, this is saying that it see's it.. but for some reason is calling to unmount it straight away..
I would say it is fixable as we had a similar problem on other Roms.. its just setting up the right command..
I have loaded a mix of drivers in to the system/lib/modules...but no success..
Then tried to use terminal but not getting access in to the root..
I kinda need to learn a few more commands in terminal..
(Back to DOS days..)
is there a cheat sheet around for the basic commands?
was playing with the aps2sd.. got the sdcard formatted with a sd2ext
But its a no go at the moment.. as even with TB backup
This Rom is not mounting into it..
As said before, I can't even get script manager to load up so can't load V6 scripts..
Maybe someone will have better luck then me..

question about the flash
Last time I flashed is a while ago so dont know if im doing things right.
So ive got a few questions before I will flash
On startup my pad shows 0.6.1.2. (587) at the right bottom
So can I skip the uboot part of the SMarkies guide?
The folder of 4325 contains more files than mentioned in the guide if i'm correct I only have to use : Kernal, user, system and ramdisk? Please confirm?
Do i have to use ramdisk in 4325 folder or the one mentioned in the Smarkies guide?
Your advice please have to use my pad on christmastrip for my kids so I cant risk to brick it

It's not a problem with this Rom, I also faced the same with previous versions and stock Rom, any of you guys face accelerometer axels inverted when playing games like Raging Thunder or Labyrinth? When bending down turns right and bending up turns left.
Strange, it happens with all games and still can’t find a solution.
Any suggestions are welcome.

Try this patched lib.
View attachment libreference_ril.Universal.zip
Is new solution for 3g. It is much easier. Who want may create update.zip for CWM.
Just replace original lib and set permissions to 644 (owner root).
EDIT
Some patched binaries and libs: View attachment patched_binaries.zip
Include wpa_supplicant with ad-hoc (not tested), vold with ntfs support (need to load kernel module first), ril libs with disabled check for modem model (for gsm only, not for cdma).

Flash all the files as per no:18 of the guide.. but use the ramdisk that comes with this package - dont use sMarkies at this stage - I flashed it to see if any difference but it only was for reading of the USBports.. the one with this package is stable enough

If you follow the guide, you should be right.
as usually people only brick on the U-boot flashing.
just take your time.
make sure you got the right files setup in IUW before you boot the pad..
then...boot-connect-flash...

best rom so far 4325
I am posting from this right now.

Anyone have advice on overclocking?
Thanks for the rom it is bad-ass.

[HOW TO] Root Nextbook8 Premium (and install market app) [UPDATED 1-17-12]

PLEASE BE ADVISED: THE AUTHOR OF THIS POST NO LONGER PROVIDES SUPPORT FOR THIS THREAD. HOWEVER YOU ARE MORE THAN WELCOMED TO CONTINUE USING THE FILES AND METHODS AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION. GOOD LUCK!!
INTRO: For all those searching the internet trying to find answers as to how to gain root on your Nextbook8 Premium and also gain access to the wonderful android market from which we were greatly deprived (as is the case with many low-priced tablets these days), the wait is over thanks to a certain someone who goes by the name of DEVMONKEY. Of course I take absolutely NO CREDIT for this and only took the liberty to re-write it thus adding a little more detail to the process. Enjoy!!!
DISCLAIMER​***I HAVE NOT TESTED THIS PARTICULAR ROM WITH MY N8 WHEN I HAD IT BUT AS THE PROCEDURE TO FLASH IS STILL THE SAME ALL SHOULD GO WELL. HOWEVER, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT MAY OR MAY NOT HAPPEN IF YOU USE THIS AND DAMAGE YOUR DEVICE. PLEASE FOLLOW ALL STEPS CAREFULLY***​

UPDATE: This is post has been updated with a new rom to replace old one. Method of flashing is still the same so no worries. All those who want to upgrade to this rom from the one I previously posted in this guide when I first wrote it can just repeat the steps over again with the new rom package.​
This rom is based on Samhain's release: SamDroid v1.13
Modifications (mostly GUI / cosmetic tweaks):
1.) cifs.ko / slow-work.ko / nls_utf8.ko are in /system/lib/modules and can be loaded using Mount Manager app from the market. This will let you mount CIFS/SMB shares to the device.
2.) Honeycomb-like launcher and updated GUI icons. (you can change it to any Launcher you want)
A couple of things to note once you have installed the rom:
- It starts up in Italian, so open Android settings "Impostazioni" and go to the "Lingua e tastiera" setting, and change the "Seleziona lingua" to your preffered language.
- I've put a few wallpapers in /system/media that you can set full screen by going into Live Wallpapers and using the "Multipicture Live Wallpaper" set them to the screen.
- There are a few things (widgets) on the homescreen that don't work after initial boot, just remove them and add back whatever you want to the homescreen.
- Sleep of death issues seem to be fixed, and the camera works (Camera app works, but Skype and Fring don't work yet...).
- You can also grab Adobe Flash 11 from the market and it'll work correctly.
- This release boots MUCH faster, and is even more responsive than before.
- There is a cell standby issue that drains the battery more in theory so if you feel like that is happening with you just delete the Phone.apk and TelephonyProvider.apk from /system/app. You can use ADB or you can use Root Explorer to do so. You will likely have to force a reboot because you'll start getting repetitive force closes once you do so, but it won't hurt anything. Once you reboot, all is well.
VERY IMPORTANT: After installing custom roms that also flash a custom recovery your N8 may reboot into the custom recovery. If this happens hit reboot system and only reboot system.
​Download new rom from HERE and extract (using winRAR preferably) to your desktop or anywhere you choose. Location doesn't really matter for this guide to work.
NOTE: If you have anything you care about (like apps, notes etc.) on your N8 make sure you back it up now.
Step 1: Turn your N8 off.
Step 2: Press both Volume buttons down and plug the USB cord into the N8.
NOTE: On your screen you should see a bubble pop up in the lower-right corner saying "Installing drivers". Most likely it will say it can't find the drivers. This is normal. Continue following the steps to install the missing drivers.
Step 3: Open the Device manager by typing mmc devmgmt.msc into your "Run" box on XP or search box in start menu on Windows 7 and hitting enter (you can also find Device Manager in your Control Panel options in Windows 7).
Step 4: With your N8 still in an off state and plugged in via USB you should see a yellow exclamation symbol somewhere next to "Unknown Device" in the list of devices in the Device Manager. Right click on it and select "Update driver software".
Step 5: Now it will prompt you to choose how you want to search for it. Select "Browse my computer for driver software" and it will bring up a window for you to navigate manually to the driver location which is in the "drivers" sub-folder in the NEXTBOOK8ROOT folder. Select which ever system you have (32bit or 64bit) and then hit "OK". You might go thru one or two prompts before it actually installs. Just "OK" everything and you should be fine.
Step 6: Once the drivers are installed you are ready to flash. Go into the root of the NEXTBOOK8ROOT folder and select RK29update.exe (right-click for Win7 users and Run as Admin).
Step 7: Now you should be at the interface of the program and at the bottom in bold words it should say "FOUND RKAndroid rock usb" (if it doesn't then it mean the drivers probably weren't installed correctly). This part is VERY IMPORTANT!! Make sure all of the boxes on the left are checked (should look like the pic below). The one at top is the one usually missing a check and would need to be checked by you.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Step 8: Once all boxes on the left are checked you are going to click on "EraseIDB" at the bottom and let it complete. Once that finishes click on "Run" and you will see a series of commands running in the right window pane (see pics below). Give it some time as it will probably take a few minutes. When it's done it should look like the second pic below.
Once the process is finished your NEXTBOOK should reboot into the recovery and reflash the OS. Congratulations!!! You now have an affordable rooted tablet with access to the Android Market!!
OTHER ROMS YOU CAN FLASH INSTEAD OF THE ONE IN THE ABOVE GUIDE:
Pisteone - [SDK 2.1] EXT4 Bluetooth 3G Root [Basic FW 1.0.21] ICS Style - LINK
Fintadroid - [FULL ROOT & EXT4] [BT & 3G] [FW.1.0.21 PRESTIGE] - LINK
ALL ROMS FOR NEXTBOOK8 - LINK (Be very careful and read before you flash)

Thanks! worked great.

I signed up, so i can say thank you. this worked perfectly.. i was skeptical and scared i'd ruin this tablet, as i got it as a gift, and was obviously disappointed to see no market on it, but this worked. thank you.

How about Nextbook Premium 7?

Thank you!
This worked great, I was able to get the android market installed and working.

Android version?
What version of Android does this install?
Cheers, Greg.

It's work, your are wonderful,thank you Sunnyboy167

Great job! Good to have root and Market working. But anyone else get FC when opening Camera app?

Perfect! I have rooted many Android devices and this is one of the easiest ones. Just read the directions carefully and you'll do fine.
Hopefully someone will release an ICS update for this device soon..after using my Galaxy Nexus, Gingerbread seems so...obsolete.

I'm glad you enjoyed this info just as much as i did
To everyone YOU ARE WELCOME but please....the best way to thank me is by hitting the thank button at the bottom right of my post. Thanks!
@xxProphecyxx - here is a link for the nextbook7 http://gunnersbarn.wordpress.com/2011/11/04/how-to-install-android-market-to-nextbook-premium-7/ I don't see any root method listed on the site but im sure there is one out there if you want to root it too. Or you can even take a chance if youre brave and use a one click root based on the android version you have.
@ghi07 - All this method does is re-install the OS (which is Gingerbread to answer your question) with market and superuser.
@dalerious - I'm sorry but I don't have a Nextbook anymore but if I did I would definitely try my best to help you. Try doing the entire process over and see if that works. Good luck!

THANK YOU!!!!
I was about to throw this tablet out the window!!! Followed the instructions and it works perfectly!!!! Thanks SO SO much!!!

Thanks to you I had a very Merry Christmas haha thank button has been pushed repeatedly!

I have already been to this website and successfully added the market to my Next7. I do want to root it and flash a custom ROM, but I have not found anything useful. Thanks though.

Rooted fine, thx a mil. Installed GOLAUNCHER EX and the icons were too big. Dl'd LCD resolution from market and decreased res from 160 to 140. To apply changes app reboots tablet. When it came back up, nextbook stuck on launch screen and I can't even turn it off!! This was my gf's xmas present from her parents!!! Any suggestions??

Karbonn A1+ Stock rom and Stock rom rooted

Hei friends this my second post on chinies karbonn A1+
Today im gonna show u show go back Stock rom
or
unbrick Karbonn A1+
And i hve made 2 parts Here 1. stock rom 2.stock rom rooted
So 1st how to get back to stock rom
lets start
fashing software: http://dc391.4shared.com/download/j...Tool_Latest.rar?tsid=20130515-043612-6c2b7d49
S/w link for New H/W version : 2.0.2 : http://www.sendspace.com/file/2b5snn
S/w link for Old H/W version : 2.0.3: http://www.sendspace.com/file/qch6va
How to flash:
select flashfile in flasher
power off set
stat ...connect cable.....and press power on
PART 2
So, let me try to explain the outcome of my work and how to flash the ROM into this device.
First of all, I want to say thanks to pogodancer for his help in my investigation and for providing me the software for flashing the device, as I couldn't get any version to work.
So, getting to the point, I have created 2 versions of the firmware:
Standard Stock ROM - Rooted
This is mostly a copy of the stock rom of the device with the following changes:
- SU binaries included
- SuperUser app added
As the ROM is rooted, you can now mount as RW the /system folder and change anything you want.
Link to the firmware:http://199.91.152.132/78ww1kb2rncg/4x9ra4y3e53isjf/6820_2.3.5_c910_hteng_s5_en_4.0_v01_Root.zip
Modded Stock ROM - Rooted
This is a modified version of the rom I have done to clean the device from unwanted and chinese software and to add some missing apps. Details are:
- SU binaries included
- SuperUser app added
- Ayu_Sales.apk (CAIVS) application removed
- Go Keyboard (and all its language plugins) removed
- Default Launchers (there were 2) and theme removed.
- ADW Launcher added
- GMail added
- Google Talk added
- Gallery3D substituted by Cool 3D Gallery
And that should be all.
Link to firmware:http://199.91.152.49/yseacg4cwdkg/8i3soi585vjvyfh/6820_2.3.5_c910_hteng_s5_en_4.0_v01_Mod.zip
Now, for the flashing software, the link to get it is: http://www.mediafire.com/?o9km8vl287ev24j
Instructions for flashing, from pogodancer, are:
Quote:
0. Be sure to have installed the correct drivers. For my SC6820-device I see 5 items in Win7-32bit-device-manager (ADB-Composite, 2 x COM-ports, 2 x USB devices: all without exclamation marks). You can use the drivers from the package folder "SCI-android-usb-driver-jungo-v4-.rar".
1. Disable just in case your Win7 firewall.
2. Launch "ChannelServer.exe" from package folder "CHANNELSERVER" and allow firewall if asked.
3. Start "ResearchDownload.exe" from package folder "ResearchDownload".
4. In ResearchDownload-application chose firmware with first button (for me: 6820_2.3.5_c910_hteng_s5_en_4.0_v01.pac).
5. Be sure that the Baudrate from Win7-Device-Manager-Comports-Settings in CHANNELSERVER equals the Baudrate-settings in ResearchDownload-Settings (second button). I recommend 115.200.
6. Press the Start (Play) button in ResearchDownload-application (third button).
7. Turn off the phone.
8. Keep holding the "- volume" key.
9. Without releasing the button "- volume" plug the usb-cord from phone to Win7 (install the driver if not done before in step 0).
10. The process of firmware-burning should start now in ResearchDownload-application and take approximately 1 Minute. You can release the Vol.Button once it starts.
11. Wait until the firmware-flashing has been finished (A green sign appeares + "Passed" is written in ResearchDownload-application).
12. Remove the battery, wait 20 seconds. Put battery back and turn on the phone (first boot may take a while but not more than 5 minutes).
Please note that I have flashed the phone it in a Windows XP virtualbox machine and I realized I didn't need the CHANNELSERVER application, so I went directly to step 3.
Cheers.

Hi mellomade,
Thanks for this ... I'm using another phone now running Lollipop, but still have the A760 running unofficial CM11.0. as a backup, I've downloaded all files, and will give it a go at a later date ... I'm between cataracts eye operations right one fixed, left should be done soon, I can't get new reading glasses until then, so I'm struggling with anything close-up right now. ...Jack

mellomade ... The A760 has always worked well for me, I wouldn't scrap it, I only have the newer one because it came as a present ( so far it's been equally as good).
I've been studying the instructions, and guess steps 1-9 install the new TWRP recovery, the new ROM installation is then normal TWRP procedure.
I do have TWRP recovery v.2.6.3.0 already installed, but I'm sure it isn't compatible with latest android versions, so no chance of an install via that
It will be interesting to see if others from the old thread pick up your link.Thanks again. .. Jack

Great! Actually, Starting from lollipop, rom installs require larger internal space. Since we barely have sufficient space for system on our A760, the internal storage needs to be repartition (done by HDD Raw copy tool). Luckily the provided image 'Lenovo_A760.imgc' will automatically install the updated recovery TWRP 2.8.7 (compatible for the rom install) so we dont have to.
I do think others from the old thread already shifted to other phones

The QPST link given is no more. Any chance you have another download link? Preferably one without malware, as there seems to be some of them floating around.
Thanks

I have updated with new download link (now its working). Sorry for the ads. You can click the 'Skip the ad' button after waiting for 5 seconds, or you can Google Qualcomm QPST if you prefer not to click it.

GM mellomade,
I have CM13 flashed OK now + the updated recovery, I'm finding heavy it on battery consumption,
mine loses 25% overnight with no additional apps installed as yet.
This is much higher than the unofficial CM11 Rom I have been using,
I've restricted some of google services in Privacy guard, this has helped a little
but I see no other way of reducing battery drain.
How do you find yours ?, and any suggestions please ?. ... J.

I was having the same experience too. I use Greenify App from play store, and put ALL apps into hibernation, except the one I required their notification to be alive (e.g; WhatsApp). That helps too. I guess that is one of disadvantages having an unofficial build, because it is not natively supported for our phone. Hence the high battery drain issue. On the bright side, we get to experience the latest (even though not updated) ROM :victory:

OK, Thought I may have a problem with ROM download, I did try a reflash which didn't help any. I'll try Greenify later, one thing I like about this ROM is the minimal system apps used (no bloatware).
My present phone (X-BO 06) running Lollipop, has a setting which allows the phone to switch off/on automatically overnight which is great for battery saving, I must see if i can find an app that does the same. Thanks again for the info. ... J. :highfive:

aah.. we do have that auto start & shutdown setting on our official rom (4.1.2). Im guessing you want that functionality without installing any new apps right? If not, you may look into Phone Schedule from play store. It support android 6.0. No prob

mellomade,
Are you saying that we do have the Off/On option with this lollipop ROM ?, if so I haven't found that it in settings, I will take another look, it does make a big difference to battery saving. ... J.

No no no. I think you may have misinterpreted my message there. I did mention, on our official rom, which is 4.1.2, the A760_1_A_2_0057_130828 updates from Lenovo. Sadly not on this unofficial cm build. However you can check out greenify, it does makes a lot difference if you hibernate unused apps. Hence, if this is your secondary phone, you may even hibernate all apps (which can significantly reduce battery consumption) without have to worry about any incoming notifications, am I right.
