I have about 15 ROMs here testing them and writing this overview but I cannot edit this post any more
Hi folks,
I like to do an overview of Lenovo A750 ROMs that are available on the web. Basically I am interested in Android 4 ROMs but we could list up 2.3 ROMs as well to have a complete list.
For that purpose I will update and extend this posting, that will be quite empty for the next hours. But I hope to get it filled this evening and with your help even more in the next couple of days.
I really hope that some people here speak Russian or Chinese and are able to post links found in foreign forums.
I found two topics in a Russian forum about A750 ROMs. One of them seems to be an overview:
http://www.forum.china-iphone.ru/viewtopic.php?f=53&t=20815&start=380
http://forum.china-iphone.ru/viewtopic.php?p=640831#p640831
I already tried some ROMs like Anton and apkhot but not sure if I found the most recent version. And I did not find them by Russian forums.
BTW setting language to English in build.prop before you flash is not a big thing.
So I'm going to collect everything I got now and it would be great if you could provide more links and maybe a translation of the Russian and Chinese ROM overviews.
Please let me know if you find any invalid links.

Rooting/Flashing Instructions
Set boot language
(Boot language might be set to Chinese (cn) or Russian (ru) so for being able to even find the settings menu you might like to set boot language to English (en) or whatever (we) ^^)

ROMs for Android 2.3 Gingerbread
Cybermaus S148 V1 (2012-04-28) Android 2.3.6
This ROM is not installed by loading a zip file from recovery. It will directly be flashed by USB cable. As the user data will not be overwritten, it had my German language selected. But the ROM only supports English and Chinese. Only some apps support German. So I had a mixture of English and German in my test. It has the GoLocker for Lenovo and the Idea Widget. That is how the launcher is called. So happy I found it.
It has some nice apps such as Car Mode or Lenovo Task Manager. Playstore is installed.
(Download a750_s148_120428_cybermaus_v1.rar from cybermaus' 4shared repository.)
BaderMQ S148 Multilang+Arabic Fix (2012-05-15) Android 2.3.6
This ROM is very nice. Its located to en/UK by default. Supports Multilanguage - at least German is supported quite good. Keyboard is only in QWERTY. It has two launchers installed and the nice lenovo lock screen. It has GoLauncher Ex but seems not to have a Widget. Lenovo Task Manager is a nice tool on that ROM. Playstore is installed but no File Explorer. I guess it's not rooted. Better link to discussion site appreciated if anyone knows.
Download Lenovo_A750_v1_BaderMQ.zip on 4shared.
ROMs for Android 4 ICS
Cybermaus S306 V1.3 (2012-06-18) Android 4.0.3
This ROM is mainly English and Chinese but has also some poor support of other languages (many items are still in English).
It has a Lenovo Magic Launcher with a buggy background, that may be fixed after changing the wallpaper a couple of times and rebooting.
Keyboard did not work until I installed the stock application ICS-keyboard.apk from here (German).
For installation first apply v1 and then update v1.3. Versions between can be skipped.
Download a750_s306_120530_cybermaus_ics_v1.zip and a750_s306_120530_cybermaus_ics_v1.3.zip from cybermaus' 4 shared repository.
ROMs that did not work for me
bgcngm S143 Hebrew fixed by BN (2012-03-29)
build.prop says it would be a S306 from 2012-05-30 and Android 4.03. Boot language is set to zh (Zhongwen - simplified Chinese). It also has a lot of Chinese apps in its system/app folder. To install I removed the assert from updater-script but then just got "installation aborted". Better link to discussion site appreciated if anyone knows.

The time has come to start separating the various Exynos 5410 devices that are appearing on the market. This thread has been created to cater for the users of the Teamgee Super8 E1, so we can keep up to date with firmware development, share our experiences, our customisations and rooted roms.
The link below will be updated to take you to latest rooted firmware posting on release ::
Latest Rooted Rom
Please remember to give thanks to anyone who helps... a pat on the back goes a long way :highfive:
Rooted Super8 Rom 20131112
Have added a few tweaks into the build.prop which may help, and have put the TeamGee boot animation back.
Have also added the lockscreen rotation override to prop, as this is something TeamGee have not fixed themselves.
After update from Play Store Google+ will behave.
Download Rooted Rom here::
TG-E1_Rooted_20131127.7z
Reminder on how to install:
1) Extract all files to the root of your SD-Card.
2) Backup all your files with any backup software (so after the installation you can restore them).
3) Insert your SD-Card into your device.
4) With the volume "-" pressed, press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
5) The installation will start automatically. Sit back and wait until it is finished.
6) Device will then reboot and you are ready to restore your apps,contacts,photos,videos,etc...
WARNING: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOUR DEVICE BRICKS. ALL I DID WAS JUST PRE-ROOT THE OFFICIAL ROM FROM TEAMGEE! YOU ARE USING THIS ROM AT YOUR OWN RISK!
cheers @datagr for install notes and warning
with thanks to @diquan2001 for having a dialogue with the Teamgee developers
ROOTED TG_S8_E1 build dated 20131122
I'm pretty happy with the previous Firmware, so have not tested this myself..
Lockscreen rotation override added to prop.
various prop tweaks, which may help with power consumption, wifi and 3g performance.
Have also removed various bloat-ware from the rom.

Kernel Develop
Dear all:
We need the source code to develop the kernel. And according to the GPL ,the kernel should be open-source. Can anybody contact the factory to ask for the source code? I found that TG Super 8 is designed by "UrBetter".

I think that problem has to do with your Ip range .BBC can see that you are not in the UK thru your ip adres .
Maybe you can try to use tunnelbear to download the iplayer app .
But you might still have the problem of viewing the programs while your not in the UK.
Tunnelbear will change your IP to UK based range i think .
Here is the Link .

Hi, i have the e1 super8. Bad connection to 3G, only connects in EDGE mode and too too slow. Any ideas? firmware 20131122. Argentina, Claro carrier.
Teamgee adventure ended
Hello friends ,
I have sold my Super8 Tablet .
I was just not seeing any improvements coming from the last ROMS we received from TeamGee.
The poor batterylife of the Tablet was just not acceptable for me .
So that's why i sold it .
I also tried to contact the TeamGee Team for the last 2 weeks sending mails almost every other day.
They just don't answer me anymore .
So with that im sorry to say i will not be providing you guys here with new ROMS anymore.
My TeamGee Super8 adventure has ended .
Regards
Diquan.
that is wright, teamgee support area never respond... I sent them several emails too...

Hello to all,
I've also followed suit, and with a big sigh, have also parted with my Super8 in the last couple of days for the same reasons as Diquan as well as not having enough time any more to devote to it.
This little tablet could really be brilliant, it is one of the smoothest I have used, but also the most battery hungry I have had.
There's a something I've been meaning to do for the users of this thread before going, so look out for a tutorial, in the next week, on how to decompile/recompile the system image so you can continue to create updated rooted firmware to share.
I've learnt quite a few lessons from doing this..
cheers to all, and may 2014 bring better things for the Super8 users
KEgg
does anybody connected this tablet to 3G? i can not do it, only connects in 2G (EDGE), tried all the configurations and Personal and Claro carriers (argentina 850/1900MHZ). Never connects to 3G
Any update??

Hello All,
Long time lurker but finally I have not been able to find a solution to my problem.
I made the mistake of purchasing a Y511-T00 on a recent trip to china after quickly reading the box which said WCDMA. There was a sticker on the side however that said TD-SCDMA. Anyway finally home I realise no 3G. Which I can live with 90% of my time online is via wifi and mobile wifi device.
The issue has come now where I need to get a better ROM for the phone. I have some half baked english rom that is laggy and does not save credentials for facebook etc. In fact I am at a point where I would not mind getting the Huawei stock with emotion UI. The details of the phone are as follows
Model Number : HUAWEI Y511-T00 (China Mobile)
Android version : 4.2.2
Baseband version MOLY.WR8.W1319.MD.TG.MP.V4.P18 , 2013/07/31 15:37
Kernel Version 3.4.5
Build Number : Y511-U30V100R001C328B120
Hardware version : VER.A
If anyone can assist with a guide on how to change the rom and maybe confirm if i can use the y511-u00 roms as I need something in english I would greatly appreciate it. Also any directions to a forum for support for this phone with other users in English would be great
Thanks so much
Hi,
Sorry, but I don't find anything related to your device, so you must post this question in general Q&A forum from here:
> General discussion > Questions and Answers
Good luck
Thread closed and completed. Thank You.

You shouln't have bought Chinese devices like this. They don't provide necessary guide for their things out of their country. They do things in their own forums and own language.
Okay, I didn't find any ROMS for Kitkat for your device.
I just came to know that you can upgrade to Jellybean. I just saw this:

4.1.2 update was released today. Here's the direct link for download:
http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=3082485858&uk=3442944625
It's recommended to update first from B03 to B04 and then do the 4.1.2 update. Here's the link for 4.0.4 B04:
http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=3921007642&uk=3945654451
How to do 4.1 update. Remember to backup first!:
1. Download V985_update_4.1.2.7z upgrade package file and unzip the file. Under the folders there's update.zip.
2. Copy update.zip to the external SD card root directory
3. Enter the "Settings" -> "System Software Updates" -> "Storage card upgrade." and uncheck "retain user data upgrade". If this is checked, it will cause some issues and the phone might not boot.
4.Click the OK button to upgrade. Upgrade process starts automatically after a few seconds.

I believe ZTE has not released kitkat or lollipop updates, but there should be Cyanogenmod available. I quickly searched from Chinese sites and I found these:
CyanogenMod 10.2(Android 4.3.1) For ZTE U985
http://bbs.flydev.cc/thread-5719-1-1.html
[Live Team] [update fix2] CM11 For ZTE U985 special edition release
http://bbs.flydev.cc/thread-6748-1-1.html
Download links should be available on those threads but you need to login first and post comment to the thread so that the link will be visible. Chrome with Google translator is needed When I downloaded roms from Chinese sites they required posts in Chinese, all english posts was removed and they can ban user who posts in english. So just copy paste something clever from earlier posts. Good luck!
can I ?

can I install the CyanogenMod 10.2 through different forums, or through YT ? cause I am afraid that if I install the CyanogenMod 10.2 in that site, my android's language will turn in to chinese which I cannot understand. Thanks in advance.
