You have to install the Google Apps as a separate install when dealing with most non stock roms. Surely the guide you were looking at mentioned that...? Weird that you are having issues with Sms as it's rare roms have that trouble. Which messaging app are you using? Your contacts aren't there because you wiped your phone, installed a new operating system, and didn't install the Google apps to resync your account. I'm confused on why you're surprised by that... Kies doesn't work on non stock roms and is a much inferior tool vs Odin. Also, didn't you do a nandroid backup before installing Slim? If so, you could just restore that and you would be back to the previous version in like 10 minutes. If you didn't...well, you weren't looking at the right guides then. I think Slim is 10x better than stock, personally but depending on the phone and version, there can be some minor issues.
I think that Whatsapp doesn't recognize your phone because of the custom DPI. If you set that to stock value, it should work.

Boot to recovery, wipe caches, install.
hi guys! im new here and i have a big problem... i live in italy (sorry for my bad english) , so i was buyed an iuni u2 one week ago, and have a big problem , doesnt recognize the sim.. i put the sim cards of all the careers here in italy and doenst work, i was cancelled the wipe data, the cache in the recovery menu, i was erase all the data factory reset from settings menu and nothing, i was sended too many mails to the eshopè and they only says me that i have to do athe things that i was did.. and doesnt resolve my problem...
so i wanna try to istall a new rom, an original android rom and try this way, but i dont find nothing about iuni u2, i need a hand guys please :crying:
Hello.
I know that this was posted time ago but I have just received an IUNI U2 with the same problem so here it is what I have done to solve this problem:
First of all you gotta register in this french forum about IUNI´s products support and downloads http://iuni-france.fr/index.php?sid=2fea7ac7718c7c697f9e1f4e47b28f1b
After that, you need to download the following files:
-IUNI Toolkit http://iuni-france.fr/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=15 in order to install TWRP Recovery that will let us install the ROM with no problem as the stock recovery doesn´t let us do it.
-IUNI UNOFFICIAL ROM (English and Chinese as the official one.It is the same as the official one in all aspects,don´t mind about that).Choose according to your model and download the latest version.
http://iuni-france.fr/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=35 (for 16GB and 2GB version)
http://iuni-france.fr/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=36 (for 32GB and 3GB version)
-Gapps (if you want to get them) http://www.iuni-france.fr/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=13
Once you have done it, extract the Toolkit zip in a folder, get developer permissions in the phone (search it on Google), allow debugging mode and connect it to the computer until it installs all the drivers. Activate USB Storage mode in the status bar to copy the ROM and Gapps (if needed) zip files in the root of the phone. After this,disconnect and turn off the phone and restart it in fastboot mode (VOL - & Power for a seconds). Run Boot Recovery TWRP.bat (sometime it is called TWRP.bat) and connect the phone to the computer again (if you have not disconnected it before running the bat file, do it). If it recognises your IUNI U2, it will install TWRP Recovery and will restart the phone after completing it. If not you need to install the drivers (try Universal ADB Drivers or the official ones available in this page http://bbs.iunios.com/thread-45092-1-2.html (registration required for the download or if not,look for that file on Google,it is uploaded in a Baidu server like in this link you can try http://pan.baidu.com/wap/link?uk=2771805765&shareid=300825861&third=0 but it is not always active ))
Well,if the previous step is done, your phone will show the TWRP Recovery in the screen (sometimes in chinese letters but you only need to look some images of TWRP in English language in order to know what options are respectively). Now it is really simple, install the two zip files copied before. Start with the ROM, clear cache, install GAPPS, clear the cache again and restart. Done.
Now you have your IUNI U2 with the SIM problem solved and with an updated ROM and Gapps.
If you want root access,flash this as the other zip files in recovery http://iuni-france.fr/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=16
PD: If you have any problem there is a tutorial (in french language) available in the page http://iuni-france.fr/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=17
Sorry for my english.I am not native but Spanish.
I hope it helps

Hello javserher,
Thank you for the guide. I've downloaded all the files from iuni-france but the TWRP.img file it says is for IUNI U2 32G version. I have the U2 16G version and I can't find the another twrp.img for my model. Can I use the twrp.img for the U2 32G? What did you use?
Thanks

Not only,it supports English and Chinese,for now. We could see more languages in the future but it is not sure because of his small community.
I think the first language to be released would be french (as the forum of developers is formed by french people) but I have no idea about any more languages apart from english and chinese. I only tell my thoughts hahahah

Hi javserher,
I used the twrp.img for U2 32G and everything was fine. I now have the English version of IUNI OS v2.0 for my model and everything is working great! I also installed the gapps and the SuperSU.
Cheers

Cool!
Now I am who has a problem.
My IUNI U2 does not autosync any app. No Gmail push notifications neither Facebook or Twitter´s ones. Even I have been receiving some Whatsapp messages 10 minutes after they were sent and also I received a comment on facebook and while in my previous smartphone appeared on the status bar 2 seconds after it was posted, in the IUNI never appeared (as well as direct messages on Twitter)
I have installed an app about forcing autosync but I have only get Gmail syncing every 5 minutes so I would have to wait that time to see an email while on my previous smartphones as any other it would appear instantly.
It is not a problem related to checking "Sync" option on Gmail/Twitter/Facebook app or in the menu (account section or status bar configuration) cause I have tried all that things (even freezing some apps that could be related to this problem). All in all, I have tried all but with no result.
I am really desperated about this. If you could tell me if you have this problem I would appreciate it. Also if you know how to fix it.
While I receive an answer I will continue looking on the IUNI chinese forum.

I am having the same issue :/
What version of IUNI OS are you using? I am on U2-32G-BetaV1.8-20141027
I have noticed I have problems for notifications for pretty much all apps that don't force a sticky notification
Would really like to see some development for this phone... Cyanogenmod? but it doesn't seem like there's a huge amount of interest yet

Konstantinos, where did you find the 2.0 english version? latest i can find is V1.8 on here: http://www.iuni-france.fr/iunios/index.html
I would like to try and create our own unofficial port, but I have never done one before so it probably won't go well xD

You have the 2.0 for the 32GB version here http://iuni-france.fr/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=36 and the 16GB here http://iuni-france.fr/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=35 (although the page says it is the 1.7v, actually is 2.0 when you go to download it)
About the notification problem I got Gmail notifications thank to Synker app (needs Synker Unlock Key to let you access the function I a gonna talk about,it is about 1,5 euros).In the app there is a section called Accounts and Sync Inspector.There you can set the periodic sync time of every component of every account at the end (not only Gmaill but also other app accounts).For example,choose Chrome or Gmail component in the list,go to the end and there you can set it.
It is not a push notification cause it doesn´t alert you instantly but you can choose an every minute refresh.Now I am trying to know why push notifications don´t work well in our system.
I will post any possible fix for this issue

I installed the 2.1 version of the iuni OS official chinese forum but it didn´t solved the problem. I´ll give this a try (I think it is the same ROM I downloaded from iuni forum but anyway I will install it tomorrow) and I will check before posting here the result.
Have you tried it to see if this fix the problem? I mean,if you have posted it because it fixes it or because you think it could solve it.

It doesn´t work because not all conversations in Gmail are priority. Although I change my config to yours,it doesn´t work setting it to priority.
But it is not only a problem about Gmail push notifications,it is about Twitter,Facebook and many other apps.For me receiving mails as soon as possible is so important but the problem is with a lot of apps.
I thinks it works in your phone cause it is not a real IUNI U2 but an ALLVIEW X1 XTREME MINI with another OS,not IUNI OS that is what is giving us problems.
I will wait for @karellang answer about my question in mine above post until flashing a new ROM (fourth time)

Hey @javserher, any news on the syncing problems ? I was planing to get this phone but the syncing issues i read about in Your posts put me a bit off. If the IUNI OS is so bugged, can I use a standard clean android rom on this phone?
did anybody find any roms for the allview x1 xtreme mini?
i asked allview support about it, and got the following answer:
" Dear customer,
Unfortunately our company policy doesn't allow us to offer the initial ROM files to our customers. In case you encounter any issues with it you will need to take contact with one of our service partners.
Thank you for the interest manifested for Allview products and for understanding.
Best Regards,"
now that's pretty disappointing.

I haven´t get it fixed but today has been released the 2.2v on IUNI OS Official Forum (check http://download.iunios.com/ to download it and http://bbs.iunios.com/thread-54098-1-1.html to read the info) so I will probably test it tomorrow
Some features are official IUNI weather app, real time mails (it could fix our problem but I´m not sure cause I need to translate the chinese text wiht google translator in Chrome) and some others I think they are not really important.
" Update notice:
one, the new e-mail module;
Support for multiple accounts simultaneously log, company / private messages simultaneously manage;
support mainstream IMAP / POP3 mail protocol standards, important messages in real time;
IUNI classic style, simple interface Smart, efficient and smooth operation slippery.
Second, the new weather module
(currently only supports U3, U2, one plus two mobile phones and millet telecommunications edition, being adapted in other models) provides real-time weather information, four days forecast; multi-city weather preview, always switch management; fine animation, fresh Smart.
Great. I wait for Your feedback then, before I decide to buy or not. How do you like the phone so far?
Hello! So, I have been waiting for this device to come from Italy allthough I could have bought it from Romania (x1 xtreme mini) but I have wanted the 32 GB version. So, it came after 3 weeks of wondering. It had gaapps installed but the system told me it was an update available (the 4.4.2 kitkat). So, I have updated istantly, of course. I don't know if it is because of this update but in stadby over night it consumed 37 % of battery (cause of consumption - wifi and celular), no apps running in background... So I had it reset but the gapps aren't working anymore. It has installed its ”Iuni app store” an this tells that I can update google play services and google play. It does update them but they crash/do not launch...
I will try the versions form the french forum but this is extemely dissapointing... So, my questions are:
1. Did you experienced any problems with the battery? (before and after updating to kitkat beta)
2. Is it a way to have a full english rom with only gapps in it and get rid of all the chinese files?
Thank you!
Hi guys
I am having a HUGE problem. I guess I've messed it up really good... I was having the same issue like it was mentioned in the first post, but I was dumb enough to act before searching for informations. I accidently formated the system (stupid chinese letters) and the phone is left without an OS onboard... So now it just keeps booting with the IUNI logo and I can't even turn it off. I was trying to connect it to my PC but it doesn't allow to enter the SD card. I've downloaded the drivers and all, also tried to mount USB storage to to insert the new OS into it but still the PC does not recognize the phone.
I know you answered to this kind of post already, but I am desperate... Could you please give me some advise, how can I solve this problem?
Many thanks for your help.

u have broke your ROM.. Lenovo A916 is a medium LTE/4G phablet.. did you root your phone?
i think XDA members like modder don't like Lenovo A916.. all comment like a drowner to A916 owner..
so, just go to NeedROM (www-dot-needrom-dot-com) replaced '-dot-' with '.'
- click Categories
- select Lenovo
- in Sub Categories, select Serial A (it's open another Sub Categories)
- select Serial A900 (it's open another Sub Categories)
- select A916 (right now only 3 available ROM)
- select your ROM (for me, i select the most people select )
- read that post and procedure
- if you like that ROM, just download all file given (must register before you can download)..
- flash your phone (make sure you have backup all your file include your contact.. it wipe all your data)
so.. don't wasting your time ask here about Lenovo A916 problem..
Share firmware's backup (of a custom rekaveri of your image) with a modem or a scatter file with markings for the modem, somehow miraculously disappeared modem, tried all the firmware, the modem (radio module) does not, the phone does not catch network, I can not bear to register .... need someone's image, ie of a custom backup of rekaveri ...
Hi!
I'm new on XDA, so I'm sorry if the thread is placed in wrong subforum - if it is, I'm asking mod to move it in more proper place.
I bought Lenovo Lemon 3 - it was advertised as Vibe K5 Plus, but apparently the seller wasn't that reliable as I thought. As far as I know, the differences beetwen these models are little or none, but I have pretty big problems with the phone.
First of all it has some preinstalled software, which isn't in Play Store and some of them I can't even find in the net. The apps I would like to get rid off are KingRoot, MaxxAudio and SecurityIT. I successfully managed to disable MiBrowser - with help of KingRoot tool Purify actually. I tried to disable SecurityIT also, but if I do that I can't enter Settings->Apps. When I try the com.android.settings is stopped and it's not working till i enable SecurityIT again.
Second of all is that process com.android.phone is stopping randomly. Sometimes I click "ok" and I it starts working again. But sometimes it keeps crashing until I restart the phone. Since it's a dual sim phone and I'm using only one sim I thought that maybe this is causing a problem, but inserting second card wouldn't work, so currently I have no idea what is causing the problem. I tried cleaning cache and appdata with no effect. If the process is crashing and somebody will call - the phone restarts itself when I try to answer.
Thirdly it's hot. Even if I'm not doing anything and all apps are off and Im charging the phone it sometimes says that it can't be charged because of too high temperature on battery. Sometimes it works fine, but sometimes it's too hot too touch and I don't know why.
Oh, and one more thing. Something is installing random software. It looks like every time I open Chrome something is opening new tab and redirecting to PlayStore. I am trying to close these tabs while they're loading, but sometimes it loads too fast. Every morning I uninstall some new app, which is apparently installed by night. And those apps aren't added to my Play Store Account. I have disabled unknown sources, but I can see that phone is checking for updates around 2 a.m - so maybe those apps are from there - but I can't see any possibility to disable auto-updates. I have disabled auto updates in Play Store and I have "Lenovo Enhanced Experience" unchecked. Most of apps I installed from Play Store are games I had on the previous phone so I am sure they're not dangerous. Any ideas to prevent the installation of this unwanted software will be appreciated.
Since I used KingRoot to disable MiBrowser I apparently rooted it, but I was reading that this works only with KingRoot installed and with internet connection. And it's sending some data to China, which is not nice. RootChecker says it's rooted.
Lenovo Launcher it's not great either, I downloaded Lollipop Launcher from store and it works fine, but I had to block Lenovo Launcher from autostart, because it was very irritating and was enabling few times.
I am living in Europe so I was thinking is it possible to put on this phone Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Stock ROM? Or is it this "trashy" like the one I have? I really like specs of the phone and I don't wanna return it, but I don't like the software behavior. Can you tell me what I can do to improve this? I don't care about warranty and I would like to have pure, non trashy Lollipop, so if it is possible somehow I would be glad for any help.
Thank you in advance for any help!
Lenovo Lemon 3 K32C36 > Cyanogenmod 14 - 7.1.1: SUCCESS
Hi
Did not know where to post this, I was not allowed to post in developer forums:
For those unlucky enough to have bought a Lenovo Lemon 3, I offer hope. My daugther's 'Lemon' now runs cyanogenmod 14 near flawlessly.
Here's what finally did it.
1st you have to unlock the bootloader. I found this page, google translated it,
http://4pda.ru/forum/lofiversion/index.php?t717648-420.html
and near the bottom is this link to a 'one-click bootloader unlocker'
http://lenovo-forums.ru/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=56376
[All this is similar to the Lenovo unbricking described here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/k5-plus/how-to/unbrick-vibe-k5-plus-qfil-qpst-method-t3467830
but a lot of that is not what you need now.]
You have to install and run QPST from this on a Windows machine, and the Lenovo and Qualcomm USB drivers and the Visual C thing too to set it up.
I fiddled for a while but eventually got QFIL to recognize the Lemon. Keep in mind Win is pickier about USB cables than Linux.
Following instructions carefully, that one click then worked!
I moved back to Linux and adb and did the second part (pasting instructions from the Win .bat file into a root terminal). Sure enough, when I booted into recovery I had TWRP! But it showed no files on the Lemon and said there was no OS there! Nevertheless I was able to boot back into the awful K32C36 system with no problem.
So I went back to adb and did it again, but this time from the info and links on this page - but I did not at that time see the need to root.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/k5-plus/development/recovery-twrp-3-0-2-0-lenovo-vibe-k5-t3391100
Beyond all expectation TWRP then booted and all was visible.
I then picked this ROM page because someone had wrote that they had it working on K32C36
https://forum.xda-developers.com/k5-plus/development/unofficial-cm14-lenovo-k5-k5-plus-t3478288
to get this
http://moto.shreps.fr/Lenovo Vibe K...cm-14.x/cm-14.1-20161213-UNOFFICIAL-A6020.zip
Then onto SD card with it and pico 7.1.1 gapps
Install with TWRP (after backing up lame old ROM and wiping system, data, cache, as advised).
Long wait during 1st new system boot (I thought it was defeat) -- but comes the little blue man bringing very good Nougat.
Hope someone gets helped here .
I registered my account on this website just to share my awesome experience with Nokia 1.
I am very much thankful to XDA and many other sites whose text assisted me in recovering my mobile.
WARNING: VERY LARGE TEXT BELOW AND ITS JUST MY EXPERIENCE, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF SOMEONE TRY TO GET ANY IDEAS FROM IT AND BRICK HIS PHONE
I purchased Nokia 1 (TA-1047). My only objective was to automatically record sound from 8AM to 2 PM. So I started root process (Devmode: OK, boot loader unlock: OK, TWRP flashing and running: OK)
BUT WHAT? TWRP is asking for a password... this was not provided in the guide. I tried blank password... not OK. Then I searched the Internet and learned that if I cancel on password screen and then Wipe data then it will be fine. I did that, then made full backup (ADB), and flashed Magisk (ADB)..OK. Restarted the phone and "bump": Phone told me it failed to decrypt and then it went into TWRP boot-loop.
Then I searched again and found TA-1060 recovery bin (from this site) and stock images. I flashed TA-1060 recovery (at that time I did not know that I could go to Boot-loader from TWRP and wasted like an hour to do it using buttons - Correct method is: power off the phone, connect the usb cable, press power and volume down till you see android logo). After flashing 1060 recovery I was able to reset phone and "voila" Magisk was also there.
Now I installed Schedule Voice Recorder, Team-Viewer Host (to transfer big files remotely), App locker (to lock settings and play store), Autostart and Stay (because recorder was getting closed), Dropbox and Dropsync --- and you can guess what would have happened. My mobile kept closing them randomly even if I made Recorder and AutoStart system app and whitelisted in developer setting and set to NOT optimized battery. So I tried to disable Nokia bloat-wares and damaged the system again. This happened for a few iterations before I realized that the Nokia 1 RAM is not sufficient to handle all these apps and I got an idea to upload earlier android version (Spoiler! Hard-brick is coming).
I searched on internet for similar mobile and found Huawei Y3 2017 with same chipset and configuration, Y5 with same chipset but higher configuration. Downloaded stock rom for both. First tried flashing boot and system from TWRP but failed saying that size was different? Downloaded SP flash tool, somehow passed through drivers issue (this would require another thread ). Tried flashing (with formatting) both Y3 2017 UO00 (which was different chipset but i altered scatter file) and Y5 but it failed on some check error. After that my phone was hard bricked!
Then I downloaded nokia 1 stock firmware but it was bad scatter file (only nvram and nvdata was showing), altered it, format+flash: failed again. Searched on internet and found that if I flash wrong preloader then I am done. I was not sure if I had already done it. I altered the scatter file again to include only preloader and thankfully it showed success but any other rom after it, it failed to flash. Found something like Nokia 3 DA and tried it but also failed.
FINALLY: I found nokia 1 nb0 rom and nb0 extractor, extracted rom using that, flash it and "voila" my phone was back alive. Tried to root but failed (because serial number was not same as before and new number did not work). Then I started iterations by mixing roms from my backup and using my "proinfo.bin" and stock rom my phone revived with my own serial number. BUT, then I flashed stock preloader and lk but everything else from Huawei, it failed with check error and then also refused to format for stock rom. Searched on internet about manual formatting, did that (WARNING: starting from address where preloader ends otherwise you would format your preloader as well) then it was back okay.
Rooted again, copied scheduler in sys-priv, whitelisted, not optimize battery. Also team viewer host (normal settings) and dropbox and sync (normal settings). As a work around I have now scheduled the app to record 24 hours instead of 8AM to 2PM so that it always remain as foreground app. 11 hour testing so far so good.
QUESTION: Can I not upload lesser android version (e.g. 4.4 or 5 or 6)? If I can then how.?
UPDATE: The Recorder is killed by OS again as well as team viewer host (even when recorder apk was in system/priv-app)
Is there any way to keep it always ON?
Or is there any way to installed some previous version of android?

Every Nokia 1 user is facing background app crash problem. Infact Nokia 5 users also. It simply crashes background apps like pressing force close and as of now there is no solution. we have to wait until nokia releases a fix.
By the way which build number are you using?

Maybe you have so many apps in the background, I had Instagram, YouTube and Facebook life in the background and I get rare force closes or I might be lucky I have a Nokia 1 TA-1060

No its an os bug from nokia side. It fails to work as it should after a particular update. Maybe u r not facing coz u have only 3 apps that too light ones from good app makers, google and fb. But if u add some more like any call recorder ( as mentioned by op)u would also face same problem i believe. It doesnt thows a FC but simple kills the app in background and u dont get notified.
UPDATE :- Here is the solution
