Hello XDA Community,
long time not see..., anyway, i just learned how to root, customized my phone with PussyFap2.5 (Custom Rom) to look like the Android Lollipop 5.0.1 Update. And there one little problem starts to begin. I have the exact same phone, you can call it Mircomax A104 or just Canvas Fire 2. My Android Version was 4.4.2 since i got the Phone. The only problem was, that it had NEVER any Android Update. So i just googled a little bid and found this Custom ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/rom-*****-fap-v2-5-fire-2-t3104349).
My Questions
1. When i go to Setting --> Android Version it say's "5.0.1" and on Model Number "Android One", so my question is, is my Version now still the same (4.4.2) or is it really 5.0.1, cause I don't think so (just a Custom ROM). About the Model Number we dont need to talk :laugh: it's still the one and only A104.
2. On the Original ROM, so when i got the phone fresh out of the package, Vanilla Android 4.4.2. It had on Settings --> Keyboard and Input --> an Application where there was 20 Indian Languages. But ufortunately I dont know it's name or anything about it. I want only this App and no other like Swiftkey, or a cheap App on the PlayStore, because this Keyboard was so good.
3. I found a lilttle "HINT" on question 3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5g9WihZf0Y This guy uses this Keyboard, whats it's name please?
Sincerely
Los Kirat
Use Xperia keyboard its simple and easy to use and also has various features in it

i have a LG G PRO LITE DUAL ( lg g pro lite D686 ) that doesn't have FRENCH as one of the system language ( when you go to settings....>language & input .....> .... there is no option for french, and as a result, i CANNOT change the phone system language to french. i've tried all sort of apps ( locale text, morelocale2, text and locale, etc etc etc ) the only thing that happened was that part of the phone was changed to french, but not the system language. the majority of it is still in english.
I was told that the ONLY way i would be able to add/install/get french as a language on the phone is to either
1- CHANGE THE OPERATING SYSYTEM. the one on my phone is android 4.1.2. i was told that some operating systems like 4.2.2, or 4.4, and even 4.0.2, which i currently have on my htc phone come with french as part of the system language.
or
2- install some kind of custom ROM.
I would really appreciate it if someone out there could help me with either one of those options since I have no clue how to go about accomplishIng any of these things, or if there is another way i can get french on my phone, please let me know as well.
I would even consider making a small donation, if you have paypal to thank you for your time.
some basic info about the phone:
its brand new, unlocked and unused, so i dont have to worry about backing up any data whatsoever.. i plan on shipping it to a french speaking country, which is why i absolutely MUST change it to french.
its an LG G PRO LITE DUAL phone
android version 4.1.2
and its already been rooted.
please help.
G pro lite is Mediatek 6577

i don't know much about any of that stuff. i dont know what a custom ROM is, or how to get one, or how to install it. i mean, i did a bit of research so i can navigate through installation and stuff.
can you tell me a bit more about that Mediatek 6577 thing? will that solve my dilemna?
thanks bud!
Mediatek=No source code
No source code=no custom roms like cyanogenmod
The only method to get custom roms and recovery is via porting
Root and get ctr recovery based on cwm (search crt recovery porting tool)
Then find a MTK6577 device with same resolution and near same specs and port it
You can use the porting guide from @rishab...(forgot user name)
If you want to port then I can help

Use the guide here http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p780/development/lenovo-p780-guide-t2658144
If you decide to flash the phone, be careful. The rule is, if it's not broke, don't try to fix it
However, in case you still decide to go for it :
Watch out when you're using SP Flash on a recent model, it might (almost) brick your phone.
In addition to the thread mentioned above, also read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p780/help/p780-bricked-flashing-wrong-rom-doesnt-t2749683
This phone is quite nice, and flashing different ROMs is easy if you know what you're doing. Please read as much info on this forum from other users first if you're not experienced in doing these things.
One point of attention is the modem in the phone. It's a bit problematic. Flashing a new rom might knock out your second sim card or give you bad reception.
Please refer to http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p780/help/test-radios-4-row-t2761568 for tips.
thanks guys thats great, i have managed to put English cmw im just looking to be able to flash a new rom on it through cmw as all my computers run ubuntu or other linux.
any links would be great, thanks

Hi. You need to do this:
1. go to Contacts - press menu button - fum menu press more features and settings - go to more contacts and feature - merge duplicate contacts.
2. After that you must do one thing that is hard iff you have to many contacts: edit contacts and put your country prefix in front of all contacts.
Tell me if this helped you.
Hi, thanks for reply. I had an update and its sorted it thanks.
Still want to know how to flash rom from recovery (without pc) cheers
Sent from my Lenovo P780 using XDA Free mobile app
I hear you, also on Ubuntu, and although the latest version of SP Flash is supposed to work on Linux, didn't figure out how that would work, I guess it's command line messing.
So I got a Windows PC from somebody, sorry but that's the easiest way.
Unfortunately, P780 (and all MTK devices), are easy to flash so everyone is using that method.
Installing from recovery is not that popular, but there are exceptions.
Most of the time, you start out from a stock version, which you have now and backup, backup, backup that one. You'll probably need it if you want to install another ROM.
As far as I have learnt, there are a couple of ROMs you can install given that you have a stock ROM already running.
Either you stay on this forum, and you can try Life or Vibe, or you go to www.needrom.com/phone-roms/lenovo/serial-p/p780/ . Most ROMs there are recovery installable, and so suitable for your situation. So far, had no problems using ROW base with one of these.
vibeui.com (in Chinese, but apparently the 'official' Lenovo daughter site), offers Vibe 1.0 and 1.5 as recovery installable.
I've installed and played around with SLX, Vibe 1.0 and Vibe 1.5 (KitKat), all installable from recovery.
Although I tried to stay with Vibe 1.5 (because KitKat), I reverted back, mainly because:
- signal was worse than other ROMs
- I have a magnetic case working fine on stock but not at all on Vibe 1.5
- Battery drain problems, especially because of location services
- Location services not working for applications
- All in all, just a bit too buggy
SLX was the most pure Android I installed, but I missed the Lenovo specific additions.
In all honesty, I like the stock ROM after all, the Lenovo apps ans launcher, and settings are actually pretty good. I in fact like the Chinese stock rom more than the ROW (more settings, security app has more options,...), but a lot of stuff is Chinese, so no
One tip : on a stock version, install Xposed and the Gravitybox module, it's almost as good as installing another ROM. So much tweaking and modding, that I can customize whatever I want.
Hi.
I'm not a programer or developer, but an Android enthusiast. I am looking for someone to help me (even payed help) to mode a stock firmware (Orange Hiro - Alcatel One Touch 6012 that run Android 4.2.2 ) in a very special and unusual way.
All I want is to block installing any other apk file on the phone, other than the app I will already install as system app into the modded firmware. I know that is possible since some carriers are already doing this (some US based carriers). There are a few ways you can do this, but I think that simply removing "Applications" part from firmware (or making it invisible or unresponsive) will be the easiest way. Sure, ROM stability is a must.
I hope that I have posted this thread on the right section.
Thank you.
Hello everyone!
I put myself in a problem here, my mum wanted a new phone and I suggest led Lenovo Z5 as her best option.
I put my money into my alipocket and I was about to buy it when I noticed that there isn't any official international ver of it.
I wouldn't mind the Chinese room if it means I get updates, but I don't know if I can actually install Google play on it..I can't see any info on Zmui
Also if I bought the Chinese ver,will I be able to flash a official international stock rom on it and receive OTA update?
Or will the same idea work if I bought the rooted ver they offer?
about z5
i am a chinese and i bought a Z5 about 3 weeks ago.
The most attractive part of the phone is the 1080P LED screen after using a AMOLED for a long time (worried about my eyesight)
I've never used a ZUI before (i've MI 3 && OP3T). Before buying the phone, my friend tell me about the bad impact of ZUI to his Z2 (AnTuTu Tester remark is lower a lot than a aosp and some roms ) which means the optimization of ZUI may be bad.
After getting the phone, the ZUI annoy me ... Though the ZUI 3.9Ver is based on 8.1 with GAPPS in it, the settings is too poor and the gesture is not well enough. Although with a 6G size RAM, it killed app even you lock it (the utilization is low means most of ram is useless ....). I dislike the ZUI default launcher(ZUI launcher) and replace it with Pixel launcher.
About Root: the phone do not support root or you Warranty is go, but you still have way to root it
About OTA: the rom support OTA if it is not rooted
hmmm last i cannot find any rom like los to flash (that's really shame)
I am really satisfied with the screen ( it must be the best in screen in this price )
Hi
I just bought the phone and it will arrive next week.
I have been really attracted by the looks.
I think I can leave with ZUI.
But tell me how is the performance of the camera both in good but also low light conditions?
Hi i'm from Spain and i love the desing of this phone levono z5 but i want to know if it comes with ZUI i could change it to android, is this posible?

Hi, i am assuming you dont like ZUI and want to change to stock android,
Well the phone is still new to the market, i have not seen any developer working on a rom yet, as of now there are no other options then using the stock operating system.
FYI, i am using Zuk z2 pro with custom rom from mokeedev which is also stock android. I got my Lenovo Z5 last week, there is lot of chinese bloatware in there, so i havent switched yet, i am also waiting for a different android operating system. hope this helps.
I bought one from DX.com
You can switch the language to English, but there will be a few Chinese elements (eg. on the keyboard)
These can be easily fixed by installing a 3rd party keyboard, for example.
Mine didn't come with any Google apps but I was able to install the Google Play Store from this APK:

It supports project treble. Some users flashed the stock rom through that. But I think official engineers never try hard in bug fix.
Thanks everyone about the information! If only Lenovo used Stock android like Umidigi Z2! It would have been excellent to use
But is Lenovo z5 going to have a Android P update? If so then wouldn't that optime the phone in the future?
Or is it possible to wait for a working stock android rom for Lenovo z5 ?
Another thing, my mum loves the super bright screen on Lenovo and it's big, she says she wants a lot of her apps running in the background and she needs USB C
I don't trust Umidigi phones, Oppo A5 is over priced with no fingerprint sensor and low ram, vivo phones don't have USB C and xiaomi phones are just darn ugly.
is there any twrp in our lenovo z5?

Lenovo Z5 ROM problem
:crying:Good afternoon, I bought a lenovo z5 arrived yesterday, when I called it I noticed that there was no software of the ZUI, ie, it has a rom that is not for this phone, does not match the notifications with the notch, has navigation bar etc. nothing matches, what do I do? Does anyone know where I can download the appropriate ROM for it?
i bought it at geekbuying
I'm in the same exact situation as Paulacfmsimoes, bought the z5 from geekbuying and it came preinstalled with a butchered frankestein version of the stock rom. Its bootloader is unlocked as well. I'm desperately trying to find a way to install the normal stock rom version, so if anyone has an idea, please help!
Please HELP!!!
I Deleted some important system files on the phone and now it does not torn on.
i did managed to install the TWRP recovery so if one of you guys hes this phone and you can upload me a system backup with TWRP you will save my ass!!
i bought this phone to my girlfriends birthday and now its dead
pleaseee replay and help me
This would be the absolute perfect time for one of you guys to help us out. (both us idiots that bought the phone from geekbuying with that beaten down custom rom and cohavio as well). I anyone with ZUI 3.9 that has the chinese and english version of the rom could make a back-up, that would be awesome!

I don't have the phone yet. But its possible that I will have it for a short time. If you tell me exactly how did you install TWRP (steps and the image of TWRP you used) and a proof that it works I may be able to help you.
If anyone knows chinese, I think I found the solution to all our problems. I stumbled across this forum where the guys have a tool originally designed to unbrick / and or return the phone back to stock.

Hi,
I have a Micromax Dual 5 (E4820) smartphone. The phone hardware is actually good. However, there are certain software things in it that I am concerned about. It will be great if someone could provide some solutions/details.
The thing is, this phone is actually a rebranded version of a Chinese smartphone "Qiku 360 Q5" and it has an Android Chinese OS (Marshmallow 6.0.1) version which is called as 360 OS. It seems that this OS has been developed by Qihoo 360.
I came to know that this OS has a malware but I am not 100% sure. Here is the link to the actual post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...inge-ad-system-application-on-mt6735.4208933/
Now the things I need help with:
Does this OS really have a malware?
When I connect this device to the PlayStore, the app automatically updates itself. In normal Android version there is an option to uninstall PlayStore updates by going to App Info section. However, the 360 OS doesn't show the three "..." dots at the top right corner. Is there any way to uninstall the PlayStore updates?
I actually did not like the 360 OS and its UI at all. Hence I thought to replace it with a custom ROM which is closer to normal Android OS. I searched for it on the XDA forum but couldn't find any that can be installed on this device. Is there any Custom ROM available for this device?
If there is no Custom ROM, is there any way to replace the default Settings app that (comes with the 360 OS) so that I have more control on the APPs and their settings and permission ?
Can this phone be Rooted safely to have more control on this device and apps?
It will be great if someone could shed some light on the above mentioned things/issues.
Thanks in advance.
