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;

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.

A 4.03 custom rom

Feel Free to add more, as will I. If you like this thread feel free to thank me if you really like it please DONATE thanks.

NICE
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..

i did everything in your post i still have the blurry image and to worsen the problem after reboot my phone language is in russian

google now
I've watched the "noob" video for posting - but not really sure if this is the right place to post. Please don't shout at me
I've watched a few videos about getting "google now" working on ICS - but I have little Android experiece and do not want to break the phone. Has anybody done it successfully on this ? can u point me at a failsafe utube video (or something else) to get this done without my loss of £120GBP ? Thx...

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.

Stock ROM
This is the stock ROM with nothing changed in it!
DOWNLOAD
Stock ROM + CWM + Root + 1GB apps memory
This is the stock ROM with the following changes:
- Rooted (SuperUser installed)
- ClockworkMod Recovery v5.5.0.4
- Apps memory resized to 1 GB & phone storage reduced to 1.55 GB (the original are: 500 MB memory for apps & 1.77 GB phone storage)
DOWNLOAD
H7100 Hardmaster ROM II (29.04.2013)
This one is much better and faster:
- Many build.prop optimizations and fixes (!shown in the screenshots!)
- BRAVIA 2 engine installed
- The stock launcher was replaced with ADWLauncher. The phone has much better performance with ADWLauncher and it is more customizable.
- All Chinese and Weather apps removed!
- Updated to latest version: Google Play Store, Google Search, Google Maps, GMail, DocsToGo
- new apps - MTK6577 CPU Governor Switcher v18.1, Mobileuncle Tools, SD Speed Increase, Root Explorer, GPS Test
Screens:
DOWNLOAD - files for Flash Tool
If you have already installed "Stock ROM + CWM + Root + 1GB apps memory" you don't need to flash with flash tool but you can use this NAND Backup via CWM recovery:
DOWNLOAD
Follow this steps:
- extract the files in a folder. Put the folder in sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/
- reboot in recovery
- whipe data, cache, dalvik cache and system. If you don't want to loose your apps don't whipe data (but do everything else) but I can't guarantee that everything will be alright.
- don't close the recovery and go to "backup and restore". Choose "restore" and select the folder that you have put in the sdcard earlier.
- wait for the process to finish and reboot your phone
- enjoy
if you don't know how to set up your ADW launcher here is backup of good settings I made: http://www19.zippyshare.com/v/42318800/file.html
Extract the archive in the sdcard root directory, go to the ADWLauncher settings -> restore and select the backup.
!!! Please don't mirror my files! If you need mirror just ask me to do it !!!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
!!! The ROMs are made to be flashed using SP Flash Tool! Here you can find good tutorial that explains how to flash ROMs: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1982587 . Note that before flashing you must turn off your phone, unplug USB, take off the battery and put it again! After that you just hit "Download" and plug the phone in the USB cable. It worked for me, it should work for you too (of course if you have successfully installed the drivers)!
MT65XX Preloader drivers (you need them if you want to flash anything on your phone): http://www57.zippyshare.com/v/12582529/file.html (if the link is dead please PM me and I will fix it)
This tutorial shows how to properly install the preloader drivers!
And don't forget to whipe the data and cache after flashing!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BACKUP / REMOVING PREINSTALLED STOCK CHINESE APPS
You can use MTK Droid Tools to remove the Chinese apps: MTKDroidTools 2.4.3
If some of the apps are still on the phone or you just want to remove another stock app you can use the RootExplorer which is in the phone to remove them from /system/app/ (of course don't forget to set the permissions to Read/Write).
If you want to use MTKDroidTools allow unknown sources and USB debugging on your phone! You will also need ADB driver:
Google ADB driver: http://www39.zippyshare.com/v/98470792/file.html
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Since 2 people have reported a phone brick after successful flashing (or after unsuccessful flashing) I would like to give you an advice:
Do not flash PRELOADER and DSP_BL. Just uncheck them and flash the rest images.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That's all you need! If you have any problems and questions don't hesitate to post them in this thread
Enjoy and don't forget to click "Thanks" if I helped you!

I am not sure if sceenshots are needed.. this is just the original rom but rooted, CWM installed and the apps memory extended to 1GB. I am currently using it and there are no problems. But if you need I will post a few screenshots that would show you the changes in this rom

Can you post front and back pictures of your phone? They're a lot of H7100 phones (Feiteng, HDC, Start, etc..) out there . So people can compare.

The thread title clearly says that it is Feiteng. And I should also mention that the phone's RAM is 1GB (but i think that the rom should work on the 512MB version too). Anyway I will post a photo of the front and back of the phone and also the sticker under the battery. BTW screenshots are ready and updated in the main post

Little things like 1GB vs 512MB of Ram, could make a difference.

I am 100% sure that the ROM works on 1GB RAM devices, I have made it using 1GB model and it was tested on a few phones. That's the only thing that I can guarantee. I haven't mentioned anything about the 512GB RAM model so ff anyone who haves it and wants to try my custom ROM he would do it on it's own risk!

With this ROM, when you use root option like in sdcard speed increase (one of much app I've used) apply at reboot, automatically dont work. Like a not-permanent root.
And have a strange bluetooth issue: when i connect bluetooth headset, alla the audio of the device come in slowmotion! Sound, games,call-in, until i reboot the phone. Like if audio didnt return in normale mode after bluetooth! Please help me..

I don't experience you problems, so other people who used my rom. The only thing I can tell you to flash the rom again, boot the phone into recovery mode, whipe data, cache, dalvik cache and battery stats. After that reboot the phone and everything should work just fine. I have flashed the rom myself a few times and it works fine every time.
Probably you had this root problem because you haven't wiped the things I mentioned above. Before I made a backup of this ROM I personally tried root explorer and it successfully got the superuser rights

Sorry, perhaps I explained bad. ROOT works fine but on reboot the ROOTED startup apps do not apply the desired changes. For bluetooth, have you tried? should I send it in warranty?

Well I have MT6577 CPU governor and SD Speed Incrase and both apply successfully on every reboot, I don't know why you have such problem. About the bluetooth ,, I have trued only sanding files and it works, I haven't tried bluetooth speakers or any other devices.
Try flashing the rom again following the instructions I gave you.

Try something else. Run MTKDroidTools and reboot your phone in recovery mode.
Do this operation
actually this operation makes permanent root to your phone every time it reboots. I think that I did this when I was making the rom but try it. If it fixes your problem it looks like I forgot to do it and I will have to make another rom

ok I'll try and let you know, thanks. see that the users tips are always helpful?
we should populate this forum or create a tread for H7100. who knows if anyone helps us also to understand what happens to the bluetooth if you want I can make a video. is this dynamics. switch on bluetooth; I pair the headset; everything continues to work fine; make or receive the first call; all audio becomes very slow until you restart. Anyway I heard others on other forums have this problem. I hope both software. now I try to do the test your reverse: now I try to send any file with bluetooth and see if the sound problem reoccurs.
EDIT: Then, bluetooth issue is only with headset. i tried to send some files to another 2 devices and after worked fine.
FOR ROOT: during the period when we posting here, I installed the androida's rom and supersu (I like more). NB: both the ROMs were installed the same way. installation, wipe DATA, wipe CACHE and wipe DALVIK-CACHE. well, the androida's rom root work properly at reboot.

please read my last post edited. greetings and thanks.

I use a Bluetooth headphone to listen music very often and never have experienced any problem with my H7100, I make and receive calls with it too. (Note: I'm using androidia's ROM0
I have experienced once the problem that audio goes all "slow motion" when watching youtube a long time ago(I wasn't using my headphones).
Pretty much he only problem I experienced is when I have both GPS and WIFI enabled, WIFI tends to stop working and have to reboot the phone to get it working again.
Having GPS disabled fixes this problem (I don't really use the GPS anyways since it rarely locks to a satellite..)

how to download rom0?

I have made new ROM and I updated the link in the main post. I tested it and I am 100% sure that the root works and also applies on every reboot! All features remain the same - CWM, 1GB apps memory and 1.55GB phone storage.
You can try it if you want. Personally I experience no problems at all using it, I can't tell how it would work on another phones. The problem with the Chinese phones is that even with the same model they still can be different. They can make them with different kernels. For example my phone Kernel is 3.4.0, some different H7100 models are with 3.0.31. Probably that's why androidia's rom works for some people and my rom works for others. I think that we should make one topic that includes our both ROMs

4.4 Kit Kate WammyZ ROM for XOLO Q 3000

Dear XOLO Q3000 Users,
I am porting today the Kit Kat 4.4 for our device. It is based on the ROM of Wammyz 4.4. I just mode that by copy and paste of some files from other ROMS and made it work for this devise. It is just a copy and past one and nothing is created by me.
I have added some more application and improved the audio and video features.
Like the other initial 4.4 kitkat ROMs, there was a problem with blue tooth. To make blue tooth to work. Follow the steps below:
Method 1:
1. Put off the wifi.
2. put on the blue tooth
3. Immediately just put one the blue tooth. For me it worked.
Method 2:
1. Go to Apps , go to all and choose Blue tooth button
2. Clear Cache and clear data
3. Restart the phone in safe mode and this will disable the 3rd party applications
4. Now repeat the step one and two
5. Now go to settings and put off wifi
6. Put on blue tooth and immediately put on wifi
7. The blue blue tooth will start working.
In case of again some problem with blue tooth, kindly repeat the above step.
Down load the ROM from Google Drive in the url below:
url: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bz8Fgu4wkBnqOE1SRF9vMUlFMVU/edit?usp=sharing
Follow the following steps:
1. Download the ROM and put into a folder in your sd card and take it to your sdcard without extracting it
2. Go to CWM or touch recovery. I have incorporated the Carlive touch recovery 2.2 based on CWM 6.0.4.4 in the ROM itself and you will open the recovery in the same.
3. Carry out the WIPE all
4. Select install zip and select the just download rom and flash it.
5. Please wait for some time and it will boot up in about a minute or 1.5 minute.
6. Wait for the Carrier signal to come.
7. After choosing the carrier please put off the phone and wait for one or 2 minute and restart the phone.
8. Enjoy.
This ROM has not erased my carrier signal one several booting up exercises. But in case if it happens. Then to safe card your nvram and “IMEI” I have built in in the ROM to save your nvram and IMEI. Please use them to re-activate yout IMEI
Below are some of the Screen shots:
Please notice the Internal storage. Mine is 2 GB. To make the internal storage as 2 GB, you may have to flash the attached E1 and E2 files replacing your files available in the stock flash ROM.

Hello, first of all i want to thank you for the kit-kat rom :good: although i didnt try it yet..I have a question.. can we flash this rom without changing our internal storage? is it necessary to change our internal storage to 2 gb? if yes can you please explain the steps to do it..And does the phone work well after flashing the rom i mean are there any lags/bugs in the phone after flashing it..

You need not increase the storage. You can flash it as it is.
If you need more internal storage you can accommodate most needed things. Like different codecs for videos flashes games etc. I am trying how we can increase Ram though it is in the hardware part. It may be possible to some extant if we can get virtual Rams through software.
I am just learning.

To my experience and tests in my phone there is no lack better than the stock Rom still we can improve the functions we can accommodate Sony sound system etc. I am already succeeded to some extant Soon you will get more.
Note3 Rom I am just have attending to solve camera function. Soon you will get.
Thanks for your interest

Regarding charging Animation of battery signal on the status bar,
Go to settings, go to display, search at the bottom line, there you find Charging Style.
Open it and you will what all you wanted and more. Just patiently do the exercise and choose to your taste.
Play store to me did not cause the same error but it was little delayed. You should do a through and clean wipe may be twice.
The delay may be due to the old play store apk that has come with the base ROM.
Any how I am porting a zip file that has the recent play store which will over write and update the current one Kindly extract the apk file from the zip folder and take to your sd card.
Through file manager or file explorer, select this apk and flash it,
I hope it will upgrade the current one.
If the problem still persists, then, I am yet to revamp this rom and please wait till tonight and I will port a revamped afresh ROM

Dear XOLO Q3000 friends,
I am porting today some files to increase the internal phone storage to 1.93 GB or to 2.46 GB or to 2. 7 GB or 7 GB size. There are many short cuts also. But to be on the safe side and trouble free one, I am providing with the smartphone tool to install the stock rom and respective files loaded in the same stock rom.
I have also provided the Carliv Touch recovery that you can change afterwards. We can flash the Carliv touch recovery in the first go. It is advisable to opt for stock recovery flash first.
Please download the Smart Phone Flash Tool SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1328.0.183a provided here. You can also use the your own SPFT that you have been using to handle your Q 3000.
If you have not installed the drivers, to ease your process I am providing the driver files also. In all there are 8 drivers and please try to install all the 8 drivers.
Please down load the base ROM file that is provided in the .7z format file and down load it , open it and take to your desk top where you might already have your SPFT tool also.
Click opens the flash tool .exe file and waits for the tool to open up.
Then click the Scatter file and take your curser the scatter file provided in the XOLO_Q3000_S003_15102013
This wll automatically open all the required files for the successful flash of the rom, the stock boot, stock recovery, stock EBR1 and EBR2 (EBRo and EBR2o in my folder) will be loaded.
Now chose your storage requirement, 193,246 or 273 or 7z which corresponds to 1.93, 2.46, 2.73 and 7 GB internal space. Both and respective EBR1 and EBR2 has to loaded and please take care.
After loading either you click Firmware upgrade or download to flash the rom.
Please note while uploading the SPTF stock Rom 2.73 GB ebr was not loaded and it is given here and take it and use as you please.
Wait for the yellow bar to pass and green circle to pop up.
Enjoy the increase storage.

Once you flash this rom with the storage you chose. next step is to change the recovery to the CARLIV touch one, which is provided inside the flah rom. After flashing this as usual you can flash the custom rom which ever you want. It is advisable to reboot twice or thrice with the gap of 2 minutes and carryout your operation.
Please note when i flashed the 7 gb partician the secong imei was notg shown and after 2 reboots the sim worked. May be for other roms it may happen. Also it is advisable to format factory data reset using the phone settings to confirm your storage capacity.
Please write here for any problems or difficulties I shall try to provide if feasible the solutions.

[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

Make a nandroid backup, and then follow an Lenovo a850 flash tutorial to flash a new ROW ROM.

There are ways to install apps in your SD. Look it up.

Why are some of this system apps are unpractical (really, it's no use having them)?

The man behind your ROM though they will be practically or he didn't want you to delete them.

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).

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.

Have you seen a lot of people from your social cycle having a rooted device? None of my friends have a rooted phone. I will also be surprised knowing that one of my friends rooted its phone.

Oh back to odd thing, anybody know this type of Superuser?

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.

Then another odd thing I notice, my stock rom is not ROW. I have a strong feel that this is CN rom , not ROW

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

it's because I previously tried to install TWRP ROW in it and the recovery is not booting up

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.

Multi quote eh? I did the same, now eyes down to what I write (lol)

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...

【E1】Porting ROMs for Xperia E1 Tutorial

BEFORE DOING ANY OF THESE, KEEP IT IN MIND THAT IF YOU BRICK YOUR PHONE I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR IT!!
Hi guys this is a tutorial on how to port roms for Xperia E1
Search for a phone that has the same motherboard, as the Xperia E1 MSM8210(MSM8610)
In this case, I downloaded an Andromax C2 CarbonROM
Phones with MSM8210/8610 chipset: Motorola Moto E, Andromax C2, ZTE Open C, ZTE Concord II
First you have to backup your current ROM using nandroid in the Recovery.
Without this step you won't be able to access the files which are needed to port
Not necessary to backup your ROM, but It is recommended, just in case If your E1 bootloops.
If you somehow bricked your phone, use XperiFirm to download the Stock rom and flash It.
1. Go to the PORT Rom and navigate to /system/framework/
2. Find and drop framework-res.apk to the Desktop
3. Rename the framework-res.apk to framework-res.rar (or framework-res.zip If you don't have WinRaR)
4. Open the framework-res and navigate to /res/xml/
5. Copy and paste the storage_list.xml you downloaded from here
6. Close the rar/zip and rename it to framework-res.apk and put it back to /system/framework/
7. Go tohttp://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-j-e/general/philz-touch-recovery-xperia-e1-t2941831 and download the Recovery (If you already have it skip this step)
8. Put the boot.img in the root of the port's directory

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
9. Go to recovery and wipe cache, dalvik, media, data (everything)
10. Flash the zip
If you did it correctly, by now you should see the CM/AOSP logo
Enjoy! Hit Thanks If it was helpful!
Video tutorial: <work in progress>
Note: If the ROM won't boot, It is because the PNGs are too big for the phone, so you either need to resize them, or give up.
Or you messed something up. Re-check everything before flashing the .zip.
What's not working:
Bluetooth, GPS, Wi-Fi, VPN, everything releated to Internet; Sound
Xperia E1 Spec:
CPU: Cortex-A7 1,19GHz r0p3 (2 core)
GPU: Adreno 305 400MHz (300MHz by default)
Chipset: Qualcomm MSM8210/MSM8610
DPI: 240
Total RAM: 423mb (Physically 512mb)

You chose CM for porting ?
Where is the base ? MODIFIED RAMDISK FOR KERNEL, HAL(S), ETC !
Cm has to be build on a Linux system with source as a base.
:/

Simple Tutorial..

Yep, but If you found a phone that has similar motherboard to your device, it is easy to port stuff, but not 100% guraanted to work

Building from source is much better .. !

Without the source files it is impossible
Also, I'm a noob compared to you, I don't know how to begin

Oh please sir don't say like that.

wtf

Unexperienced user will brick E1 ofc
If there is any nandroid backup in the SD Card then there is no problems

@Kizoky
As far as I know, there is no nadroid available for the E1.
Also, I really think that we should make like a "dev team" and focus on working on CM11 (CM12?) for the E1.
It's not impossible, but WILL take a lot of time and work.
Hell, I'm in.

There is Nandroid for the Xperia E1, it's the part of CWM. And it is working, it just needs more than 2 GB available space on SD card. Also, none of the developers have this phone and I don't think they will ever consider buying it just to develop CyanogenMod for it. If we could get a display driver for the E1 that works (Adreno 305 or whatever the E1 has) we could compile CM, according to Kizoky. Or maybe if we could get drivers working on the ROM that has been ported from the Andromax C2's CM. We tried, I managed to get sound working, but no WiFi or Service or anything. Otherwise, it was waaaay more smoother than stock... If we could get CyanogenMod 12 even if it's broken I'm sure I would get it even without WiFi or Service, I don't care. If I will get an 8GB SD card I will attempt to get things working on this CM11, as I found new files that may be able to get WiFi working. Also an interesting note, the stock kernel that comes with the stock firmware is working with this CyanogenMod, which also means that it's possible to get CM on Locked Bootloader and it may also be possible on other devices. It's really handy, especially because I cannot unlock my BL because it is from a career. Oh my that's a long message lol

That was a fast reply
So the thing is that the E1 uses the Adreno 302, exactly the same as the Moto E. Which means there are drivers floating around in the CM11 builds for the Moto E. It uses the same connection boards, too - DRIVERS EVERYWHERE.
Only if I had the knowledge to do all this alone, the thing is that I can't
EDIT: Could you give me a link for CWM? I only found Philz Touch and I don't really like that, I prefer CWM

There is. There's already a recovery for E1, which has built-in Nandroid backup, available to use.

@Kizoky
I'm going to dig around in Moto E CM11 files, maybe I can extract some display drivers.

@Kizoky
I managed to get some Qualcomm-made .APK-s from various ROMs. Does that help at all?

I don't think they would, but maybe they do. (maybe one of them manages WiFI connectivity) Try to install them onto CM and see what happens (reboot too)

I managed to get GPS / Location services up and running. There are still tons of .APK-s that I haven't tried yet.
EDIT: I think I found the WiFi driver.
EDIT 2: @Kizoky Did you check the ROM made by @ramdanzs ? It probably contains the display drivers you needed.
EDIT 3: I managed to get telephony working but now it doesn't function.

I just found this tool called FTF Extractor can be used to decompress .FTF firmware files of Sony Xperia phones, just as listed in this article/tutorial on how to decompile .FTF files.
Is it possible to grab some drivers from the stock firmware and port it to CM11? Just askin'.
AFAIK .FTF files are just "renamed" flashable .zips so, their structure is the same.
