Hi
i am barely new to this and my first question is: is a ROM the same as a TFT file (which includes .sin)?
my problem is that i installed ICS on my Xperia Arc and just fully configurated it without making a backup after the clean install. i wanted to make a backup after my full configuration. during configurating my phone, i installed ICS Browser+. I didnt realize that this is just an extension to the existing Browser.apk and removed Browser.apk. Now my browser does not work anymore. Before i set everything back, i wanted to ask you, community, if its possible to extract this single APK from the TFT file i have used (finding here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1598072)
if so, i could save me some hours of configuration what would be very very nice :/
any help is very appreciated. greetings cetrick

You can reflash your FTF without wiping data. Should do it.

thank you for this answer K900.
it worked. i had to change some things back again (deleting branded apps, activating go launcher ..) but that was easier todo then set the whole device up again. now i made a backup
cheers cetrick
True.. that's a good method, but if i want to extract specific apk, how shell i proceed?
Based on my experiences with Lenovo P770, I have prepared shrinked ROM based on 124_maomi_rom mod, so far the best custom ROM for this phone I have found.
Warning: DO NOT DO ANYTHING, UNLESS YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE DOING
You can easily BRICK your phone, please understand that I keep no warranty on my work.
Use this ROM ONLY if you have an "asian" version of ROM in your phone. For more complex understanding, please see:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2220275
Note: I am not programer, or highly sophisticated geek. I am just playing with the stuff I have.
Lenovo_S124_maomi_MOD_pu
- is based on S124 Maomi, root is included, main goal was to shrink down a ROM size, wipe bloatware. From the original 400 Mb the size was shrinked to 188 Mb.
- More Locale for additional languages added.
- original launchers (Nova and Xperia Launcher) replaced by newest version of Xperia Launcher
- removed Lenovo Apps, chinesse Baidu keyboard, News and Weather + some more programs.
ROM ready for flashing by CMW:

Google Apps ready for flashing by CMW:

Note! As there is mistake in Android 4.1.1, commercial widgets dissapears after reboot. Its a mistake of Android, not ROM and can be easily solved by Titanium Backup. (App with widget you want to use has to be backuped by TB, then uninstalled and recovered from backup (all by TB). Problem shall be solved in next release of Android:
Package including Winflash, drivers and recovery with english CMW:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/25344416/P770/P770_update_utility.zip
Note: the key combination for accesing CMW is different than usual one: turn off the phone, hold "Power" for two seconds, release it and hold altogether both + and - volume control.
Please dont blame if anything is not working. Either there is some mistake in my guide, or you have done something wrong.
Hope this helps.
Anyone who is willing to improve my work is heartily welcomed.

Note: to keep a funcionality of calendar notification, a LeCalendar (Lenovo Calendar) has to be kept in ROM, even when not used. Do not dele it. You can use other calendar app, but not all of them has working notificatio. I have tested Calendar Pad, so it is included in rom.
reserved for future use
Just a question. Will this work using twrp? By the way, there's no cmw recovery. Only cwm

Hi, thanks for sharing. Can you please help check below question? Thanks.
I have 3 questions to this ROM, the size of data partition, 768MB or bigger? Do you have issue to use GPS and wifi position in google map or FB? How about VPN function in this ROM? (Most of P770 Chinese ROMs can't disconnect from VPN server normally)

Knives: have no knowledge of TWRP, sorry.
I use "recovery" as a term for image containing a flashable part of memory where CMW storage is stored. Term "cwm recovery" you notice is used nowhere in my post.

Data partition shows 756.8 MB.
The Google locations shows OK to me, but some people reports problem. So far, we are unable to determine where the problem is accross the comunity.
I am not familiar with VPN on mobile, I will try to test, but so far I have no answer yet.
Will this work on non rooted stock ROM P770_ROW_S110_130204?
Hi!
I'm not a techie myself and wanted to ask you if this will work for my non rooted phone with stock ROM P770_ROW_S110_130204?
Edit: Since you mention a different recovery for S110, I presume that this will work with the stock ROM mentioned above. But could you please confirm if this CWM is in English and not in Chinese (...some of the other postings on rooting Lenovo p770 seem to suggest that CWM that works is in Chinese.
Thanks,
RK

Hi. You should not combine S124 and S110 firmware. For deeper explanation please see:

LeCalendar
Can anybody please extract the LeCalendar APK. or Please suggest any other similar application.
Thanks.
LeCalendar.apk - please, for me too
calendar reminder that works
A working calendar with a working reminder function is Business Calendar Pro (buy 4,75 Euro)
The buisiness app has an own reminder function.
I tried so many different ways, but this works.
Synchronization with Myphoneexplorer and Outlook-XP works.

Hi,
I've done a full flash of my XZP (all files). It has resulted in a loss of the original HDR samples files (e.g. HDR sample, 960fps sample, Spiderman trailer). I've tried resetting my device but with no luck- the files are lost. Could someone kindly reupload them?
Thanks in advance
I didn't even know there were any samples on the phone, where do I find them?
Try album or video app
Here you have them
Thanks
Thanks man. Would you also be able to upload all the stock soundtracks?, please
Strange, they weren't on my XZP even though I havent deleted them, flashed any other firmware or reset the phone. I did restore from backup from my Z3+ though. Thanks for the download link.

Dear community, i would like to update the firmware of my stock tablet 3 8.0.
I would like to install a recent android version. I use tablet for reading, watching tv via official apps, surfing, twitch, youtube gmail and similiar.. is a very standard usage.
I ve found plenty of not updated topic, forums and guides.
Since is an old device, there are a lot of missing informations, links, and much more.
I would like to find someone that could suggest me the better rom (usage, performance etch) and helps me in the entire procedure.
We could start from this ?

1. Make sure you have backed up everything you care about from the device before you begin.
2. Charge your device to 75% or more before you start.
3. Install the proper drivers before you start. Usually, installation of Kies will take care of this.

for example, how to backup the entire "image" of tablet?
Which driver and where to find them?
Hope to find someone
Thanks friend
