Hi all
A couple a weeks ago i've downloaded a rom ported from Note3 to W200s @ needrom.com [W200S_N3.zip].
It seemed to be a nice one, until i tested the Torch app. As i opened the app and on the flashlight, turned the back of the phone to me, i watched clearly the flashlight dimmed before my eyes.
At first i didn't care much about it, just thought that when i flashed my twrp backup it would all back to normal...
But no... The flashlight is dimmed since then, despite all my attemps....
Here you so, some of my fails
- Flashed StockROM - Still dimmed
- Flashed all the W200S ROMs available - Still dimmed
- Edit the scatter-file to include hidden partitions
misc.img, pro_info, seccfg, expdb, protect_f, protect_s
Got a hold at another w200s, backup those partitions and flashed them all... Still dimmed
Right now, i'm running out of ideas...
But, before i send my phone to replace the flashlight LED, i'm creating this thread as my last hope...
I know there's other users out there that happend this, i saw their reports on the site...
However, the user who posted the ROM, deleted it. So the issue was silenced....
Plz, lets gather here and try to find a fix for this issue... if there is one...
Thanks
Admins:
I apologize if the thread isn't on the right place...
If possible, move it to the thread to its right spot, thanks
same problem
Hello
I have the same problem with the same ROM(W200S_N3.zip).
I have done the same things
-Flashed StockROM - Still dimmed
-Flashed all the W200S ROM's available - Still dimmed
I have contacted with the site from which I have purchased the mobile but they only replied that I should try another programm for the flash. The only thing that I need is to find the specs of the flash ion order to find the same one and replace it.

after reading your post i've made some research and came up up with this:
Kevin TeslaCoil @ said:
stackoverflow.com
HTC has an alternative API that supports this, however it's only on HTC Sense devices, and as of Gingerbread they've changed the permissions so it's only for their Flashlight app, not third party ones (unless you use root).
But on 2.2 HTC devices you can use it by writing a string to /sys/devices/platform/flashlight.0/leds/flashlight/brightness. This controls if the LED is on and how bright it is. For maximum brightness write "128\n", half brightness write "64\n". Easy to test from adb shell:
echo "128" > /sys/devices/platform/flashlight.0/leds/flashlight/brightness
And finally turn it off by writing "0\n" there.

So it seems to be possible to change the brightness of the flashled.
Of course this info is for a competely diferent device with yet another android version...
But i'm pretty that we should have a similar folder and file on our phones that can allow this... maybe where the flashlight app itself changed the settings...
I need your help to find out this file...
I'm using a root file explorer and still didn't find anything similar...
Lets try this one last time before throw our phones against some wall...

I have the same issue but mine doesn't work at all.
There's a /sys/class/flashlightdrv/kd_camera_flashlight and a /sys/devices/platform/kd_camera_flashlight.0 (which might actually be the same directory) but it doesn't have a brightness entry. I'm going to return my W200S for one where the flash works

can someone help me, i cant get adobe flash to work on virusrom
have you fix permissions in rom manager? fixed flash for me
i tried it and nothing changed
I'm on virusrom and have no problems with flash.
On another note, where is the host file for virus rom? What folder has the file that lists all that ads that are blocked from apps and browsers. I can't seem to find it anywhere.

OK try this. Use root explorer or titanium backup and delete adobe flash. Then try downloading it again from the market.

well, just to let u know when i tried that route it got a bit tricky...make the app folder full R/W and then go to Titanium Backup and delete it, u will need to reboot so the R/W takes effect and then download Flash Player off the market, should install no problem
Edit: The reason u R/W is because when u delete it and try to reinstall it seems to always be unsuccessful on the install...this method fixed it for me
a couple other q's
1) My font color in the notification pulldown is black, with the dark colored pulldown it's really hard to see (especially if i'm outside) .... can I change that text color to white, or a brighter color? ....or did I do something wrong?
2) My keyboard is still the standard keyboard and not the black and blue keyboard from the screenshot ... I really want that keyboard! ....what did I miss??
3) I really like that twitter widget that is in the screenshot on VR page....but I don't have that....how do I get it???
....I probably have more q's, but I can't think of them right now....I couldn't post this in the VR page because I'm a new member and xda won't allow it yet :/
anyone out there??
unfortunately I can't post this to the actual VR forum since I'm a new member with under 10 posts...
...so I'll get my reply, or 10 posts, either way ... it's all good!
thought of another issue...don't think it's the rom because I was having the same issue with tesla coil....my bluetooth headphones disconnect all the time .... never had this problem before tbolt; dx stayed connected, so I don't know what it is about the bolt that would make that happen...
Thought of another issue, ..this thread is dead...
the good news is ...i'm almost at 10 posts
looks like I can't delete these posts...
I am sorry, I know this is annoying...I would just like to be able to post in the other threads...
number 10 .
didn't work ...so now I guess i have another question ....why can't I post in the VR thread!!!???!!!!!!!!!!!

Kernel :- 3.0.8
I want to root it.
Can someone suggect me any tool for it?
It does not have play me whereas it has it own market by the name hclme.
If i try to manually install using apk file. It does not work after installtion if i try to make it work it says application not resposnding.

Follow this link to get the rooting instructions
http://crazyfreakgamers.com/hclme/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=62
can suggest me something?
Hey
Hello sachin, I have a similar problem. I would recommend you please do not install non-hcl market apps in the tablet. I am just back from the service center. Deposited the tablet today. The internal memory has a write problem & no matter how much i tried, the settings & the non-market apps i installed are not removing/changing. The tablet is good but i am responsible for screwing it up. Have patience & let the developers release a custom rom or mod for the U1.

It was the 4th day after the purchase. i installed everything i could in it through apk files. I once connected a 3g tata docomo stick in it & bamm!! It was blank! I read the manual & pressed the reset switch with a pin & it worked. The tab booted up & to my surprise no matter how much i tried i could not uninstall any of the applications, change any of the settings. As if it got write protected. Whenever i rebooted the tab it came back in the same state, read-only. The service center people are saying it maybe replaced. What do you think i should do? Does this have to do something with the root? I tried to install the 4 apk file google play setup (one by one install). I even connected it to the pc & formatted the inbuilt memory but it all came back astonishingly!

Hmm,
Have you tried to factory data reset?
Tried that a lot of times. no luck! Its a lemon now. Lets see if HCL replaces it. I know it could be my fault. Do you think installing the apps has done this? I think the 3g dongle has something to do with this? or maybe it was a defective piece. I am waiting for their call. Lets see what happens

Well i have 40+ apps downloaded but i have not faced this issue..
I have not tried dongle yet..
Hmm thats a sad situation.
Can you tell me what all you tried putting and removing since u bought this tab??
Like rooting. and apps and what kind of mods u tried does not matter they passed or failed.
Let me know .
Yes i was surprised it got screwed. things like these dont happen in androids. Anyways i am thinking it was a defective piece.
I installed the step by step four apk android market installer, another normal google play .apk file, all sorts of apps from apktops.com etc. It was working fine. It just got hanged once when i plugged in the stick & after resetting it from that position everything went wrong after that. as if the tab went into read-only mode. I could not change the settings or remove/install any apps. After every reboot it went back into that state. I think it has something to do with encrypt. Check you tab settings & tell me what do you think about encrypt??
The service center people are yet to call me. I hope they replace it.
Once it also gave me an error like "key chain not responding" or something. After that is got screwed.

It seems like that you encrypted your tab first and then during reset it might have changed the file settings to read only mode.
Dont worry its a software issue, they will fix it.
May be its a glitch with their software only. May be they have not done the proper testing before releasing the tab out in the market.
What i would suggest dont think its ur mistake tell them its their mistake.
Dont tell them you downloaded apps from different source.
Hopefully everything should be fine.
Can you tell me
1)Were you able to use google play market properly?
2)Did u face this issue that if you run some apps the screen goes upside down. I mean to say we have ME written at the top and when i run some apps the screen needs to be rotated 180 degrees to make it run properly.
I dont think the service center people have enough knowledge about the new tablet. I had a talk with their technician & he said it might be replaced. I was expecting it as its a new launch & its ICS. actually i saved a few apk files on the internal memory & as you know no matter how much i tired i cannot delete them. So that is worrying me as they will find out & confront me for the same.
Google play did worked but whenever i tried to install any app from it, it crashed & then didnt run again (until reinstall) & i got the error message "stopped unexpectedly" or something. I guess it needed root access because the tab was not permitting any non-hcl market apps to run on it.
And for your 2nd question, maybe that did happen but i didnt realize it because i used the tab just for 3 days & its hard to recall what i did.

Thanks! It means google play never worked. Actually in order to make it work it needs to be installed using the rom installation and some files needs to be changed as well to make it work.
As far as hcl support is concerned , all i can say they are horrible , i spoke to a tech support guy and he said i can install any app using google he wanted to say if the app is not there in the market i can download it from google with the extension apk and i can use it . he also confirmed it would not void the warranty .
I asked him for pc software and guess what he said. Sir you find the software on google. Then i told him to share the link then he gave some sendspace link which was not working. As i am working and i dont have access to the tablet right now. They were insisting on the serial number of the tablet which i was not carrying while i was calling them up.
Dont worry about your tab , it willl be fine.
I am looking for someone who can help me in rooting this device. it seems like this tab is not rooted yet. I have an app root check it says device is rooted but when i go to cache folder its all empty and when i try to go there using shell it says access denied.
ANY developer here who is willing to help us???
I can give Team viewer access along with tab connected and a a coffee or beer anything the developer likes.
can`t root this devica. plz help
I`m also having same kind of problems. Can`t run google play on it. I have tried to root with z4root, and with some other tools. But nothing worked. plz help.
Guys,
I have contacted one of the developers to make root software for this.
I have told them i will pay them 10 dollars, if you want to contribute something to that developer then let me know. I will pass your message to him.
As far as the progress is concerned. i have given him the dump of my tab.
Lets see
Thats great sachin. Am still waiting for my tab. Didnt get any call from HCL. They told me it will take about a week for replacement. Lets standby & wait for my one to arrive.
Guys,
Good news!!
I have got a reply from the dev team and they are saying it would be relatively easy to root it.
I have given them system dump + system.txt file
They working on it.

Hello every one,
This is my first post here but I was trying to search Google in general and especially xda-developers but didn't find answer.
Ok, so I have new Galaxy S 3 from Polish provider Plus GSM. I rooted it and changed ROM at the beginning. I started with ENERGY HD 2.0 because it looks nice - and it's actually very good ROM imo, well done DakiX.
But one thing - why I can't find radio in it? I know, this might sound strange, but there is no radio. Yesterday I tried to change ROM, this time to MIUI Rayglobe. As you may probably know it has plenty of options before installation and there is one to install radio. I did it and it was working as charm so there is no problem with my device (as I hard some phones in US doesn't have this function at all).
Is it just my, I'm doing something wrong?
Thank you for any help and understanding.
Regards from Poland and best in 2013!,
Bartosz.

That "lol" is because it was obvious and I should know it?
Everything is working great, thank you very much!
So, apparently not everything is OK
Like you said, I directly copied FmRadio.apk to system/app using root explorer. And Radio FM icon appeared in application screen.
I turn turn it on easily - no prob. Please check the attachments.
But after turning it on with a button - after couple of sec it's closing and I got notification "Radio FM application was stopped":
Strange fact - I can still hear noise in headphones, even after this error!
So I tried to reopen radio, but all I get is black screen and same notify after 5 sec.
I know this is weird, but maybe there is "another" RadioFM app? I really don't know what is going on here and why it doesn't want to work.
I'm the only one with such strange issue?

hi guys.
sorry im posting this here and not in the official thread but because im new i cant post there.
i have a BIG problem. yesterday i had a problem with files on my DCIM library on my device storage. i could see them with the built in file explorer but when i connected the device to my pc - the files wasnt there!
i looked for a solution and when i didnt found one i tried upgraing my ron to the last one available (10.1-20130107-NIGHTLY-I9100). sincs then my gmail acount jas been erased on the device! when i try to add it under "+add acount" i only have an option to add CORPORATE, EMAIL, FACEBOOK or SKYDRIVE - no GMAIL option.
what can i do? please help, all my contacts are on the gmail account :crying:
btw - the files issue didnt resolve itself and i found another issue. i tried to make a screenshot, the device took it (made the animation and sound) but couldnt find the file itself in the device storage.
after flashed rom, did you flashed latest gapps (20121212)? for gallery issue, did you clear data of gallery and media storage under setting-application? dont forget to reboot after clear data
thanks for the reply. yes, i just realized that the nighly update changed my android version from 4.1.2 to 4.2
im installing this now, hoping it will work.
will update after the install - thanks again :good:
update - ne gapps solved the problem - thanks!
omg we have an outbreak!
the cm10.1 noobs overcome the borders of their thread and will now spread across the whole forum...
...we are all doomed :fingers-crossed:
sry mate i dont really like bashing but sometimes there is no other way:
- people please READ the instructions in the op of the rom you are installing!
(not installing gaps is NOT a serious problem... its a standard procedure with every cm installation and mentioned in the instructions...)
- read some stickies about your device and android!
- do not play arround with nightlies if you dont know what you are doing!
(man this is every-day changing code far from stable)
its just a pitty to see the forum loosing quality every day because 90% of people having problems wich could be solved by reading the instructions of the OpeningPost of the threads...
sry again if i sound rude, it is nothing personal but i'm hating the idea how xda-developers looses his "developers" level
personaly i wish you all best and much fun learning here but please start with the theory, by reading, then jump in the deep waters, by flashing. :good:
regards and peace :angel:

About file issue exactly the same thing happened with me today, I lost all my images and videos from both the storage and can't see them in any file explorer or at PC
I don't know what to do I have changed several roms.
Must be a virus or something I don't really know what happened, will try to recover files.

Hallo,
as a Lenovo A660 owner, I have downloaded and backed up new ROM via CMW + I have made some modification.
Warning: DO NOT DO ANYTHING, UNLESS YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE DOING
You can easily BRICK your phone, please understand that I keep no warranty on my work.
Note: I am not programer, or highly sophisticated geek. I am just playing with the stuff I have.
NOTE (JULY 2013) - I dont have A660 for more than 4 month. The guide is fully working, but I am unable to help you with a hints as I am unable to test them, please as other users instead me, sorry.
So what can be found here:
1) CMW backup of original Lenovo A660 ROM S025_121122 including all the Chinese rubbish
2) CMW backup of a moded ROM I made. I wanted to slim down it a bit so I:
- removed all the Chinese programs
- added a HOLO launcher instead a Lenovo one
- added support for Google stuff like gmail, playstore
- replaced Lenovo Calendar with a Google one
- removed some waste apps like video player, weather, Lenovo store, Lenovo security, some demo videos
- changed a boot animation
- added MoreLocale to extend a language support.
Overall, the ROM size was shrinked for about 200 Mb
3) flash_tool.zip with SP Flash Tool, flash_tool.zip, and Win7 driver
The FLASH process is a bit tricky, I am working to create a easier process, but I am still newbie.
Please note: If you have some Custom Recovery installed, this will overwrite it. The CMW I work with is temporary and working just to next reboot.
Backup your current ROM before you do anything!
Step by step:
1) download flash_tool.zip including SpFlashTool + Recovery + Driver
2) download zip with ROM you want and unpack it to root of your SD. Full path has to be kept, so correct location is /clockworkmod/backup/20..........
3) turn off your phone
4) run SPFlash Tool, load "Scatter-loading file" MT6577_scatter_emmc_LA50.0.019.01 from directory Recovery_CMW (located in flash_tool.zip)
5) make sure that only "Recovery" part is checked and hit download, confirm executing even through warning "download warning"
6) connect a phone wia cable (phone has to be off). First time you do this, you have to install a driver (also in located in flash_tool.ziip. You can do this either on notification manager, or in hw device manager in control panels.
7) if everything is OK a flashtool will upload CMW and process ends by window with green circle.
8) turn off the phone. turn it on while holding a volume up to start to CMW
9) while in CMW, do the wipe of the memory and cache.
10) choose "restore" in CMW and choose a directory on your card. The process might end with error log, but dont worry.
11) Reboot the phone and hope it will boot up.
After a bootup, the phone is in Chinese and startup guide will start. Skip the first step (low left button) and on next screen switch language to English. Then I reccomend to skip all the other steps and reboot a phone (until you do so, phone remains partialy in chinese). After a reboot, you can change your locale by MoreLocale. Anyway a change of the language will be only partial.
Please dont blame if anything is not working. Either there is some mistake in my guide, or you have done something wrong.
My next try will be a release with fully working rooted CMW. But as I wrote, I am not pro.
Hope this helps.
Anyone who is willing to improve my work is heartily welcomed.
CMW Recovery is from Cybermaus, credit goes to him.

Hi,
Can we use it directly on an already Cybermaus' rom flashed A660 ?
Cheers
volodiaja: i have tried and it should work
Thanks Pudil !
Your rom is a blast.
2 small weak points :
CMW Recovery is erased and Rom is not rooted.
By the way, no big deal.
One more thing : with french silly accentuated file names ( for songs ), it displays some chinese letter. Any tip on that ?
Many thanks !
thanks to pudil
my lenovo a660 can get a google play and aplication google it works :laugh:
now this ROM is root with bin4ry v17
and adb.exe i use from superoneclick lastest version
Chinese applications have I delete all, like a lesave, lenovo cloud, sogou, lenovo store
thanks a lot pudil
sorry my english is bad
guys - thank you for testing.
1) Permanent root and CMW will be a next step. As I wrote I am a newbie and I will do my best in upcoming days.
2) Chinese letters in Music play is a pain, but I have so far no idea where to change it. As my native Czech Language is having some special characters, I can see this rubbish too, but only in MP3 player. I have spend a lot of time with this, but I have not even a track where to start. I will see if I can do anything, but I dont take it as serial issue.
Please, if you can, do a bit promotion for this MOD, the more testers, the better intputs for my effort.

Hi, I just received my A660. Unfortunately, the display has a dead pixel, so I sent it back for repair. Anyway, it came with Etotalk ROM, with original Lenovo Calendar, so after repair, I will be ready for testing.
I am from Prague, so probably will be easier to share our experiences. I am totally newbie in Android world, but hope I will able to help you with testing.
Bluetooth pairing issue
Thanks a lot for your effort!
One more issue that I came accross - I'm unable to pair my bluetooth devices, specifically Sony Ericcsson handsfree is not even visible during initialization procedure. Can anybody confirm?

xkobi, I have tested bluetooth with two devices - Creative D200 speakers and handsfree in Citroen C4 Picasso and both working flawlessly. So unfortunatelly I have no idea where problem might be.
guys, sorry for not bringing you an updated version with a permanent CMW, but I have some rush time in my work. As I wrote I am not hardcore geek so the work has low priority, hope you understand.
brilliant
Clear and simple. I know almost nothing and managed to
, install your ROM which worns very well. Thanks
Thanks! Waiting on phone but I'm onto this.
Bad news guys, my A660 was stolen on friday. I am not yet sure wheter I get back to in, or whether I move to P770. Long baterry life seems to be a nice feature.

volodiaja, no problem, but anyway I have no more dev files than those in first post, please continue the work at your will.
Good news, due to the good job of the police, my A660 is back. Anyway I will most probably keep a newly purchased P770, as the battery live is simply awesome.

Totally surprised. Nice!!!
Yes, I agree that the battery is the weakest part of A660, but it is general problem for smartphones. I solved it with external battery pack for 20 Eur (6600 mAh, from Amazon.de).
