Hi,
I'm new on the forum and I hope I'm writing in the right section.
I'm going to be a new android user as well because my Lenovo Lephone is coming end of this week?
Unfortunately there is no section for it because I guess it is only available in China.
The phone is already rooted: XXX://androidforums.com/all-things-root-lephone/102624-root.html (I'm not permitted to link)
There are some neg points:
- the market is not installed
- there is no custom rom
I'm not at all a programmer or something close but I'm ready to learn, to try and to get my hands dirty. I will just need some paths and answers.
My questions:
- Is it very difficult to create (or adapt) a custom rom to a android-phone when it is rooted? What should I do?
- Is it possible to install the market to the initial rom? Or should I flash it? Should I add it to the initial rom when it is extracted.
- Does this tutorial to extract the rom work for any android phone? ([TUTORIAL] How to unpack Android ROMs on Windows)
Thanks in advance for replying,
Best regards

Hi all,
I'm a really noobie on android customization and I was looking for the RESURRECTİON REMİX İCS ROM v9.0 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436854&highlight=tutorial) and I read and searched over the dev thread and I saw the sequence and what I need to install, but the problem is: how to install those stuff? If anyone could help me on that I would appreciate that.
Thank you so much.
If you need to ask, you shouldn't for a moment consider trying. Wait for ICS to be officially released by Samsung for your device or do some reading yourself. Being a noob is a choice you make, not something you're born with.

Well, those files are needed to be added into your phone and then installed through CWM (Clockworkmod Recovery)
You'll want first root the phone with a kernel that has CWM as well. CF-Root would be the best one for beginners, you can find it on the Original Development thread and follow the steps there to root your device.
Afterwards, you'll want to reboot your device to CWM (Vol Up + Home + Power button when device is off) and install all the necessary files in sequence (using install zip from sdcard). First, make sure you do a nandroid backup incase you wanna go back to your old firmware if you regret it.
I'm pretty sure if you research more throughout the forums, you'll find out what you need to do (hell, it did for me, so it should for you as well)
Good luck!!
Read the sub forum stickys there's guides to rooting flashing etc.
XDA is a development site and a little leg work is needed.

Hello, this thread includes the steps to flash the official JB leak, to your GSM device:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2068716
It is not that simple because you need to mod the kernel in order to get a fully working device.
I suggest that if you don't know much about android, and are not willing to research a bit, you should wait a bit for an easier method to come, however if you still want to do it:
If you have safestrap, remove it. (Click on the app and hit uninstall)
Install Bootmenu: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2005187
Download the file, extract it, connect your phone with usb debugging on, and hit install.
Follow the instructions from the past post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2068716
Thank you

I have read a lot of guides on porting roms and now i knw that we can port rom to any device using stock rom for that device and tha rom we want to port bt they need to be of same version
Means base rom and port rom should have same android version
My question is how newer roms like kitkat (cyanogenmod, etc) are available for older devices like Galaxy S2? As per as i know Samsung didn't provide kitkat for GS2 so there is no base rom for porting kitkat to GS2 So how they did it?
Can you tell me how to do such cross version porting?
this method works very fine and could u please tell me how to mod status bars easily...i always get staus bar force closed

Cooking for Galaxy Note 4 SM-N910W8
Hello All,
Thanks for the great job done and for keeping this thread alive. I have gone through all the important posts, and before I will start doing anything on my phone, I would like anybody who has the knowledge to clear me on specific topics that were not exclusively discussed:
I have Galaxy Note 4 SM-N910W8. I am with Rogers Wireless Canada and my device is unlocked.
One of the things that annoys users of Samsung phones is the delays of firmware updates and upgrades. If you remember, T-Mobile did not get Lollipop before the end of April 2015. One possible solution to this kind of delays is for every individual to become knowledgeable on how to “cook” his or her own custom ROM.
1. I would like to use the official firmware as my base Rom to add or remove programs before flashing it on my phone.
2. Rooting is not yet an option; If I root my device, I can no longer get OTA updates. Without rooting, how can I modify the stock Rom (before flashing) in order to de-brand it and install generic CSC codes so that I can get updates directly from Samsung?
3. Can I use an International official firmware or any Canadian stock firmware, cook it (make changes with e.g. Android Kitchen), then flash it, so that I can receive updates from Samsung directly through any country as soon as upgrade wave begins? This means making my Cell Phone software region unlock.
4. My current Rogers Lollipop only has English, French, Korean and one more Asian language. None of all the Canadian cell phones that I had in the past has Spanish and European languages pre-loaded, which annoys me always. I know that all languages can be activated by customizing the stock software without installing a third party software to do the job. Can anybody tell me how best to do this?
5. I do not know the reason why Rogers removed the Data Toggle button from the Notification Panel. To make people spend money on data? For me, it is an easy access that makes me save money whenever I do not need to use Rogers’ data. I want it back and I know that it can be reactivated by customizing the software before flashing. Can someone tell me how to do that?
6. I understood that so long as I continue to flash my device with stock (factory) “Recovery.img”, my KNOX Warranty will not be tripped (void). But can this stock “Recovery.img” be customized without voiding the KNOX warranty?
I appreciate all your attention drawn unto this.
Sunny.

CM10.2 lg prada 3.0 (p940)
Can someone reupload cm 10.2 because it not available on milaq.net and i can't find any mirror for it
fixed the call reject bug
I flashed this rom on my wife's p940 and had the call reject bug.
Googling on the subject I came across another rom for another device (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2438223) with the info "[fixed] Can reject call (Thanks mateo1111 and AntonX)".
Digging a bit deeper and found the commit on github with the fix https://github.com/mateo1111/android_device_lge_p760/commit/c77382b2cf8ce697356b677336a63c861e8fc3b7.
It looked simple enough to try it on the p940, after all it was "just" changing a value... I am a programmer/software developer but never did anything in rom's
I was reading some xda tutorials on how to create and compile rom's and still thinking that would be an overkill for a simple fix... and then I found a xda tutorial on [TUT] Implementing EPRJ RIL in Custom Roms by Yoursel and the very helpful Android Multitool for decompiling/compiling.
I didn't want to change the entire RIL but just to change that specific value in that specific place...
I decompiled the system/framework/telephony-common.jar from the rom and found the .smali file with the wrong value and simply changed it.... compile, and put the .jar back in the rom's zip.
smali is a low level language, not so easy to read as java... in a text editor, search for the string "0xce"... I found it twice, only one needs changed for the correct value "0xb7".
Flashed it and tested ok, call reject works fine now.
So, if anyone interested, just replace the system/framework/telephony-common.jar from the rom's zip with the telephony-common.jar from the attached zip and flash it.
or, follow the guide lines and do it yourself like I did.
(Sorry I can't be more specific and show some pictures but I did this on another computer).
No Keyboard
So I've rooted, installed, and have cynagenmod 10.2 working on my p940....sort of
Everytime I boot the keyboard (AOSP) crashes....I've downloaded the gapps from the main page too. Done the normal cleaning of cache, reboots etc etc. Any ideas?
EDIT: I FIX
The gapps that are linked on the first page is 20130301-signed, which is broken. Managed to find latest version for jellybean (20130813-signed) and keyboard working, looks like you need to update your link mate
EDIT 2.0: Wait, you do have the right link....no idea where I got 20130301 from then, apologies

Stock rom for LG p940 ICS
Hi
I have made a really dumb mistake: I've deleted my backup of the stock Android ICS rom / installation for the LG P940 aka Prada 3.0. Is there anybody who would be so nice, as to send me a backup of this rom to install / flash with Clockworkmod Recovery.
I don't know if it's important, my latest stock rom was the v20d kdz eu version.
Thanks in advance

ICS backup for Clockwork
Hi
Could I be so lucky that somebody could send me a backup of the original ICS for the LG p940 to use with Clockworkmod recovery. I've been so epically stupid as to delete my own copy. And unfortunately using this ROM I loose my signal at least once a day.
Alternatively does anybody know a relatively ease method of re-flashing the original ICS software from LG.
Huge thanks in advance
