Cm wont come to mtk6589 device yet because mediatek not yet release the source code to any vendor. Pray that it will so we can fully customize the system and kernel.

News. Just now surf and found the kernel source code .
Now wait for lenove to release their code. Then we can start
wait for a good developer to build it.

notworthy.gif thanks for the info... I didnt know that the SOC manufacture need to release the source code to the vendor only a CM rom can be made. Learn something new today biggrin.gif

my photos are shown in super gallery, videos are not coz they are rmvb files i guess, music are shown in play music, and all files are stored in external storage (memory card)

is play music app is the only bundled music player for this phone?

about galery. find other gallery apps. for p780 its will take sometime[5-10minutes] to appear in their gallery. no worries. your picture still there.
*
SOLVED, all pictures and videos in the SD card appears.
Need to wait a few hours to populate....it because I switch from "Build-in Storage" to "External Storage"

*not all photo album is detected rclxub.gif

This improve a bit for P770 GPS but i not think so P780 need it!! I try a few time on gps with data or wifi on it can lock less than 10sec

But this way still a bit slow to lock GPS for P770 the best way to lock it is install "GPS test" from play store then goto -> GPS test setting-> clear AGPS data -> update AGPS data

back to GPS test signal screen wait for less than 1mins the GPS will lock and you can press home screen and launch sygic or waze...

if using only google maps just make sure your wifi on then open maps app it will lock very fast coz it use google WPS (wifi position system)!!

hi all, anyone can suggest the solution for this problem :

1. RAM went too high
2. GPS lock failed
3. Easy access button (wifi, data, etc button missing ? )

so confuse  cry.gif  rclxub.gif
*
1. RAM went too high
- were there any FC while you were using your phone?
- you can try uninstall, disable(freeze) those apps in "RUNNING" that you aren't using.


2. GPS lock failed
- reboot phone
- tried Waze at other location(outdoors)? ; "Clear Data" Waze
- try this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?...rtcross.gpstest

Warning!!Do it at your own risk!!!

For those need to repartition their internal storage to total 3.58GB available 2.16GB

[attachmentid=3640489]

Please download the instruction here

The ROM I use is P780_ROW_S110_130629,
May I know the original ROM version that you all use (I mean the one that come with the system)?? coz i flash and test too many ROM, so forget is this the original ROM which come with the device sweat.gif

Hope you all success partition it and enjoy!! thumbup.gif

notworthy.gif THANK YOU for the guide!

MobileUncle CWM is chi base so far, you can try the recovery from needrom custom rom here for p780 http://www.needrom.com/phone-roms/lenovo/serial-p/p780/

In each custom room, most of them they come with recovery or flash tool, you can try out, i have not tested and not sure if it's in english,  because I m using nandroid from Mobileuncle)

http://www.needrom.com/wp-content/uploads/...covery-0626.zip
http://www.needrom.com/wp-content/uploads/...125_or_s132.rar

Hope it works well for you.

Btw, did you face any problem with factory reset not working after repartition with the garytanyh guide?

Thanks.
*
hmm then i think i'll stick to the not-funtioning-nandroid-backup CWM at the moment...

I couldn't try the factory reset as the CWM-Backup didnt do its job doh.gif
So far after repartitioning everything is stable, no hiccups encountered.

Sony's way of flashing kernel and rom is much more easier with "Flash Tools" compared to Lenovo's way.

Currently I'm running Hotlink sim1; DiGi sim2. no issues, just that battery drains a tiny bit faster. (which is acceptable since more juice needed)
