Yes, 12.5 is normal for a 16 gig device. The difference is used by Android.

Thanks! Waiting for 4.1.1 too!
Does anyone know if you flash this does it clear the entire memory or just the os partition. I have flashed many Roms before on other android devices but all those had an SD card and with the unlocking process I know the entire data was erased.

Ah OK I'll have a look into it tonight for you, its probably the updater script if you want you can try use the META folder from another ROM (nexus 7 ROM) and see if it flashes until I fix it later

It appears it not just your downloads I can't seem to flash any Roms. I tried to flash other ROM and it keeps giving me same error. It almost seems like it can find the zip files on SD card to flash and then it goes to flash and can no longer find the file. Anyone have any insight into this?
first off seems D/L is not working but I dint think there were so many issues with ROM. We definetly need a solid Stock ROM with ROOT (4.1.1), Hope its works when I flash
is this completely stock? no tablet UI dpi build.prop changes? (that's what i'm after)

You can install the slimdroid port using CWM if you want to install the full version from Lenovo you will need to make sure you have the stock recovery installed. It is tricky but it works. Do a quick search and make sure you understand how the bootable sdcards work. The A1 is almost unbrickable but it can get scary at times as long as you have a boot sdcard you will be fine.
I have been running it for a couple of days it works well the battery drains a bit faster but much better than stock. CM7 is very nice too you can't go wrong with either one.

SlimDroid v7.20 ONLY STOCK RECOVERY
CWM=brick
Good to know the other versions all worked on CWM looks like you will need to install the stock recovery before continuing.

Well, I flash someone's rom with cwm and its very unstable it doesn't have wifi , gapps, and usb mass storage but it has usb debugging, I was thinking to change the files of the recovery to cwm using adb and do a fresh install of gb, is that ok?
The first thing you are going to want to do if you want to go back to stock and that is probably best and then go from there is download the following.
http://download.lenovo.com/slates/a1/OTA/A107W0_A234_001_015_2643_US.zip

If you have a 16gb device grab
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23471133&postcount=409
First flash CWM 5.0.2.7 (you can use the newer one later if you want to but use this one for this)
Then if you have the 16GB model flash stock-mbr.zip and reboot into CWM. (if you have a 2GB device this will hose it the device don't do it)
Then flash the ram disk followed by the 2643 OTA.
If you have an issue installing CWM grab a bootable sdcard there are instructions in the ICS threads and use that to flash CWM.
The A1 is almost unbrickable unless you have a hardware problem you should be able to get it working again.
I inatall the alimdroid but the space for install apps is very reduce and the apps can't move tp th sd card is there any form to change that?

Are you in the stock recovery or a custom recovery like TWRP, ClockWorkMod, or Philz? Do you see an option that says "Install Zip" or something similar?

silly me I just notice the one I put on my sd card is for the 7 inch not the 10 inch lol maybe that's why?
Let me guess at the error, is it Status 7? After reading the link you provided you installed an old version of Philz that won't allow you to flash cm11 (which I'm assuming us what you're trying to flash). If this is the case you need to update that bad boy. Look for Android-Andi and in his signature are up to date recoveries. Philz is great but I recommend the cwm swipe, it's a beast and has all the options we need for a tablet.

That's totally why. You're lucky you didn't brick it trying to flash that. DL a ROM for the 10 inch and I would look into upgrading the recovery of you're going to KitKat.

ok well i cant get no OS installed even with Philz updated with philz touch 6 im still stuck with no OS I cant install cm9 or 10 or is it 11?
well I had better luck with TWRP it work great i now i have a custom rom thanks guys

Moto G flashing custom roms

I have a rooted Moto G with stock rom, do I need to partition the phone storage with gparted or similar before I flash a rom such as carbon rom or omnirom etc, or is the partition already allocated in the freespace in the phone storage at the time of flashing? Thanks

No. Your phone already has the suited partitions and you can keep storage the way it is. Just make sure the custom rom you flash is suitable for XT1032.
Thanks, been a while since I flashed a custom rom, last one was to my old htc desire.

Lollipop 5.0.1 home screen bug - Ram consumption

Hi everyone,
I have a Nexus 5 working under lollipop 5.0.1 ( not rooted )and, just like the 5.0.0, my phone bug a little bit after working a lot on the phone.
The Ram turns to + 70% of consummption and the phone bugs whenever I try to get to the home screen until I restart the phone ( almost everyday )
I use Cleaner to clean my phone.
I thought about going a full reset to the phone and try if this problem will be fixed ( I'll need ur suggestions for the best app backup )
If it doesn't work, I'll try to root my phone ( my last option )
So what you think guys ??!
PS : I can upload a video showing the issue I have if necessary.
Thanks.

I thought the 5.0.1 fixed the bug ..
Anyone ?
Try one of the AOSP 5.0.2 ROMs which has the fix. Optipop is pretty good. Cataclysm is good but it doesn't have the fixes in AOSP last I checked.

Is your bootloader unlocked? If it is flash twrp with fastboot. Then flash the rom of your choice and see if it fixes your bug

Alternatively you can also reboot your phone as a temporary fix.
