Third party apps? U meant apps like Whatsapp, Facebook, Messenger, and etc?

i get mine from kl but i'm staying in ipoh.

I can't remember which one, It's either Lightflow or LED manager something. Nope, the LED won't respond with the settings in whatsapp, fb messenger etc.

Rooting won't change ur launcher GUI - if that what concerns u. If only gives u access to root so u may do things otherwise not possible w/o it.

One click root as 'zerohunter' guide earlier was what I used and it really easy and most important it works! U will get rooted in no time and install ur TB to restore our apps / data.

My main goal to root is get TB other than few nicks rooting features.

Just an advice.. Once root flash TWRP recovery and do nandroid backup and u r practically safe to move fwd.
Mike, i know CWM got issues but TWRP recovery works perfectly. Im on twrp and able to nandroid and even partition w/o sweat. It even came with SuperSU - with One Click UnRoot! option. This not tested but my finger itching wanting to press it.. duno why?

Now I believe gave enuf reason 4 u to proceed rooting ur phone. W/o root access, ur phone considered not fully utilized lar.. Let me know if u need more convincing.. Ha.ha.

FYI, just like my prev A830, my daughter also use this phone to play games etc. So she needed her games data backup and restored. Now she really have a hard time draining juice from this phone as compared A830.. Ha.ha..

kl where

I see. I've tried with Light Manager just now and it's the same, not blinking at all.hmm.. I am wondering is't smtg wrong with the phone now before I start rooting.

Btw, I've saw ppl saying just root with the One Click Root (which i'm about to do later) and press the Red Button at the back case there. But that red button is just like restarting your phone in case the phone hang, so how we actually reset back to the original ROM? I'm still looking way to backup the Ori Rom before I do rooting, any idea?
I'm just curious, so we shall root flash with TWRP recovery then only able to do ROM backup right? Then only do the One Click Root and Repartition, correct?

One Click Root > Flash TWRP via Mobileuncle > Do backup via TWRP > RePart
Follow guide by ZeroHunter (OneClickRoot) and Garytanyh (RePart). They posted these guide on early page 10-15 of this thread.
TWRP search for Life v05 (can't remember but sure u find asking pakcik Google..)

Just an advice.. Don't simply flash any ROM w/o 1st reading thoroughly. Take time knowing what I'll be flashing. Rush² and u might end up like me.. Ha.ha. 

From what I've seen on the 8GB S820, it's 2GB ( internal ) USB storage for Media and 4GB for internal Storage (for softwares etc ) the other 2GB is for Android OS like other Lenovo phones

warranty claim status still not complete yet .. since oct 9th .. damn slow lol ..

Nice... So mediatek chipset inside p780 are not much difference compared to Nexus 4's Snapdragon chipset? I read that GPS inside this phone is also good. Can anyone confirm this? Since I used GPS a lot.

BTW, which seller can give me the best price? Is it in garage sales or somewhere with physical location? I'm in Klang/Shah Alam area.

What I mean is snapdragon is more efficient, about the p780 gps, no doubt it's good, it can lock the satellite within 1 or 2 seconds.

For best price, u need to do some homework to check around, few popular shops that sell lenovo phone are directd, satu gadget, seven mobile, all of them have physical shop

Can you explain a little bit more about the efficiency of the snapdragon compared to the mediatek? why everybody damning mediatek, and the price also got quite a difference there. there must be something 'not so good' about mediatek, right....
