My first post here. I have got the P780 since October and all this while had been using the
P780_S135_130917 ROM believe to be for the Chinese market. At first was confused with
all these ROM version S135, S306, S119 and later after some read up I understand that
S306 for Unicom and S119 for International. A quick question to ask the expert here if
I flash to S116 then to S119, will it solve my contact issue (unknown city) as shown:

Yes, it should be.
Just curious.. how u could 'tahan' using Unicom flavored rom for all this while without going bonkers?
Anyway.. bright side is nearby ady. nod.gif
Flash to S116.

Thank you for the reply. My current S135 is not Unicom rom, S306 supposed to be.
All this while I don't encounter any issue and working just fine except the above contact
listing minor issue. Will do the necessary backup and flash to the International ROM later.

Looks great with the percentage battery status but stability and usability wise need users report.

Less than 1 day old phone, now rooted, flashed CWM recovery, flashed SLXROM.

Now on Nexus-like ROM, no more clunky stock rom. All was so easy to flash without fuss. biggrin.gif

yup, so far so good but yet to explore more, missing some feature that I used to have in Galaxy Nexus Cataclysm rom tho.. Now finding a way to not have that many toggle on my notification bar.

Can I ask which English CWM to use? I am on S119 official ROM and my guess it won't flash this ROM
from sdcard with the current recovery mode.

Alright will try flash to this SLXROM coming weekend. Hope it perform better than S119 in all department.
I actually like the battery status as percentage indicator instead of the old fashion type of battery level.

If it is just the battery percentage indicator u r looking for than u just need install GSam from Playstore.

Openn GSam Battery Monitor > Menu > More > Battery Use - Built In > Battery Percentage.

There u go.. Easy solution.

Thanks bro, have installed the apps and showing percentage level now.
Flashing to SLXROM not just for the % indicator, actually wanted to see whether it perform even better than S119.

anyone here on Lewa OS5 or Miui?

After reading around on custom ROMs suitable for P780, besides the stock S119 ROM I am using right now,
I also like to know which custom ROM actually is good to have in terms of stability and usability:
MIUI V5 JB 4.2
VIBE ROM
LeWa OS
SLXROM based GravityMod2
LiFe v0.3/v0.4/v0.5

Saw this yesterday also, Lenovo P780 to 4.4 KitKat hmm.gif
But only 3 users posted so I doubt the ROM actually kitkat and furthermore I hate download from
adf.ly, need provide email/HP and plenty of question to answer so far never successful to get past.

Tried all except for MIUI...

3) SLX ROM is my favourite so far, battery handles well, UI is Holo based on vanilla android, which is much better than the white theme from Lenovo stock. Updates from Russia is quite fast also. Highly recommend this ROM!

Thanks for the detail description so you are on SLXROM at the moment?
True that SLXROM updates quite fast from Russia, but that also means we got to keep applying those patches often.

Btw can check with those on S119 Official ROM current or past users, do you encounter own echo during calls?
I sometimes can hear my own echo during call although it doesn't occur every time. At first I thought was the
other party phone problem but now I confirmed the issue was from my side.

Good news!

Google "Lenovo Super Camera 3.5.5 apk" (aka Lenovo K900 default camera) to "replace"  the stock 3.1.1 camera.

You need root and Titanium Backup to back-up, uninstall the stock 3.1.1 and reboot BEFORE installing 3.5.5.

New funky features:
+ 1080P EIS (digital/electronic image stabilization for vids)!!!
+ Eraser for static image
+ Magic GIF
+ more....

Suggestion to TS to pin this....

Hmmmm....  Let's see what other apps from K900 that can be ported to our unit....
*
Can I ask how can I uninstall the Camera in SLXROM. I used CleanMaster and look through user
and system apps but never see any name with Camera to uninstall.
Thanks.

Thanks for all the above reply.
Btw, does anyone know of any app that can backup/restore
individual sim card contacts? I have personal contacts in SIM 1 and
company customer contacts in SIM 2. In case when need to perform
restore contacts to a particular sim card, I will not have ALL contacts
gone into the sim and need to go through the trouble in deleting
unrelated contacts.
Thanks.

if you are using stock rom you can always copy your contact to internal or external storage by hold any contact detail in contact manager

[attachmentid=3758709]

Then choose copy to <storage u want>. It will be copied as *.vcf format
*
Thanks but that will require me to do that one by one .... there are 100 over contacts in each sim card.
There is another way will be with just one sim card in the phone, backup then removed and put in the
other sim card and backup. However if there is an app that perform this task will be good, I will try to
search for it.

Is it possible to put in GravityBox in stock ROM S119?
Now using SLXROM (with Gravitybox in there ) but as some said, stock ROM still the best
but I like the Gravitybox customization features. However I find the Radiomodule S820.V51
in SLXROM much better than S119 V20 in terms of signal strength.

-remove 3G/G network mode icon from status bar permanently

-remove the warning sign of second simcard not inserted

-show battery % next to the battery bar

GravityBox can do all these. That is why I asked the expert here whether can I install GravityBox
on S119 ROM and the answer is yes. I am using SLXROM with GravityBox and the above 3 already
is the default settings. As for how to put GravityBox onto S119 ROM I have not really try that out
yet so maybe someone here can post the instruction.

You are right but only two out of the three you mentioned works using Gravity Box i. e 3G/G network mode icon removal doesn't work, at least not on my S119 stock Rom.
*
Alright I didn't know that as I was using the SLXROM probably they already done the modification
as the status bar never show the 3G/G icon, only two network signal strength were shown.

Does anyone know how to replace the ICS Dialer to JB Dialer?
Using SLXROM at the moment but the dialer appearance is like
the older ICS version. Prefer the original JB dialer/contacts from
S119 ROM, anyway to port over? Thks.
