QUOTE(zerohunter @ Nov 13 2013, 03:24 PM) IMO that is not necessary, after u buy the phone, first thing u do is put in sd card, go to setting, storage, select write on external storage, restart, install all the apps u want without any worry, that's what i did to my dad's p780 and my ex p780 It's just that I want all the built in storage capity be absorbed fully to /data partition. and yes I do own the phone and I love it so far. There's quite a number of bug in the official rom that I'll think I'll change to any other rom. almost bricked my phone when repartitioning the eMMC few days ago If u wanna play with the repartition things, make sure u do enough readings, know what u are doing and bear the risk |

QUOTE(fitzhex @ Nov 18 2013, 07:37 PM) pure aosp rom ported from micromax A116. Can tell me the RAM usage on first install? and after install all apps on normal usage?for those who hate using lenovo ui. white. euuu. Thread (in bm)-http://lepakspot.com/forum/index.php?topic=592.0 DOWNLOAD LINK flash using cwm. any bugs leave in the thread or here NOTE: if during flashing the zip, it say error on setting permisssion, and installation aborted, just ignore it. this is due im using other rom meta-inf. should be no effect to the rom. Also the screen time from 100% to 1% if possible on a single charge. I've tested so many rom so far and none that satisfy my needs |

It's been a month my phone is naked. only screen protector. the back plate is very dirty or can get easily dirty by sweating fingers. dislike that. other than that, if you did not scratch it, I would say it can tahan everyday use. put in poket(jeans) or handbang(my gf) still no scratches on the back plate. only kotor. still waiting for our casing to arrive :3

QUOTE(ahtom82 @ Nov 26 2013, 05:38 PM) http://lenovo-forums.ru/topic/2073-miui-v5...ersion/?p=44620Install version 3.11.16, and the installed OTA p780 fix, and then installed the 3.11.23 OTA zip and flashed. I'm having issue with s850 modem so i change with stock v20 modem(s116 row build). Note: If you dont use V6 supercharge i wouldnt recomend much to use miui. its such a ram hog. 800-900 initial boot. after you installed everything, configured everything then use v6 supercharger. your ram usage will be about 600mb with lots of apps running. tested. p/s : use google translate over that forum |

QUOTE(techfreak17 @ Nov 26 2013, 06:06 PM) I saw from this site http://en.miui.com/download-91.html is only Version: 3.10.18. Not sure is't official site. Anyway, Miui makan ram huh? I'm jst thinking to flash my S115 to S116 then upgrade to S119 tonight..hehe weekly build. you cannot use miui rom straight from miui source if you coming from ROW. you'll brick your phone. you need a MIUI ROW version to use over your ROW P780. ROW use different partition |

QUOTE(ahtom82 @ Nov 26 2013, 06:11 PM) doesn't matter if 8gb or 4gb. whats matter is your previous rom or which rom you coming from. If you were on stock chinese, you can use directly on needrom.com . If you're coming from row based rom (s116/s119) you should use only row based rom.there are other way without twrp(using flashtool) to convert from row to chinese stock or chinese stock to row. from there you can chose wether you wan row based rom or not |

QUOTE(ahtom82 @ Nov 27 2013, 03:00 PM) For the MIUI, what tools do you use to do the flashing? I see from the russion forum, it's a whole totally different way of flashing. I can't seem to update it using the normal CWM. Or maybe the recovery CWM doesn't seem to be able to flash any roms. Can you share... I flashed over Life Rom via flashtool. Then using life repartition to increase built in storage to 2.5gb. from there using the pre-installed TWRP recovery i install MIUI, MIUI OTA FIX, and MIUI latest OTA ZIP. from there I restore my backups. and the I installe V6 Supercharger from my comp. done QUOTE(techfreak17 @ Nov 27 2013, 05:10 PM) Nope, I'm using Windows 7. I've already installed the ADB and the USB driver for the phone (since it comes together with the phone so I need not to download other drivers). I even disabled the Driver Signature as the video shown. I've switch off and click Download/Firmware->Upgrade, nothing happen after the purple percentage bar ran. Tips. Turn off your phone completely(press the re button under the microSD.Hmm...Anyone knows how to get this done? Next, Open your flash tool, with the configured/recomended setting, press the Download/Upgrade Firmwire first Wait until it finish load(if the file has checksum) or until the bar is white. From then, just connect your phone to your computer. without turning it on. just do nothing and connect it should work |

QUOTE(techfreak17 @ Nov 27 2013, 05:33 PM) I've done that (press the red button) and do exactly as what you've mentioned, but only white bar shown after the purple bar ran and 'Searching' is shown beside the EMMC at the bottom (as file attached). seems like a driver issue. try on another pc. or uninstall the driver, reinstall the correct one. I dont remember how to uninstall usb driver. It wont show on device manager, you have to use another tools, and remove any MTK-ish driver. and reinstall the correct driver via the correct inf for your deviceThe charging bar will shown after I plugged in the usb cable, is that consider off completely? |

QUOTE(ahtom82 @ Nov 27 2013, 11:59 PM) Got a question, since my lenovo is a ROW based P780, as long as I flash a CWM that is chinese based, then i can flash any MIUI or LEWA which is chinese based, is it correct? AFAIK, no. different EBR1,EBR2, MBR being used on ROW based rom and chinese based rom. If you want to use chinese based rom, you have to flash unto a chinese stock rom first.these 4 partition has different block being addressed in ROW and chinese based /system /data /cache /emmc (built in sd card i think?) EDIT: just noticed the world flash. lol. If those CWM recoveries do include these partition tables then you could try. the partition table is EBR1, EBR2, and MBR i think.

QUOTE(ahtom82 @ Nov 28 2013, 08:49 AM) Thanks a lot. happened to me before. I delete battery calibration manually via twrp and charge the phone via twrp for about 1 minutes. then i boot up to phone and restart few times until the battery reset it's percentageI'm facing a new problem now. I'm not sure if anyone of you face it before. After several of flashing to different ROMS, Now I'm having problems with the battery. When I charge from about 15%, just in a span of 1 hour it goes up to almost full, but then after than, when i plug it off, it drop down like crazy. This morning I remember I have charged it to 100% full, but just a span of less than 2 hours, the percentage is now showing just 20%!!! Anyone facing the similar problem? Is it that my battery spoilt already? Can't be right? QUOTE(ahtom82 @ Nov 28 2013, 09:26 AM) Hey I have also just flashed to MIUI but facing a few issues, not sure if you face the same problem a) I used V20 modem with umobile no issuea) Unable to download any apps from playstore via 3G, even after I unclick the Download only via wifi b) Battery percentage suddenly up suddenly down, not stable c) Unable to download anything via Aptoid d) HDR function in camera not working e) Unable to disable lock screen how do you solve those problems? b) never occured to me, see above post c) thats probably a bug, i don't know how to solve this too. the aptoide extension .myapk is not recognised in miui. idk how to manually open it under aptoide. d) a bug to, HDR func will dc the camera, lets wait for an OTA update that might fix this e) you could try an alternative apps(I read on xda about it but forgot what its name +more , the LED notification didn't work as intended on my phone. hoping for a weekly build that will fix this issue. |
