hi
i am new to this forum so if i posted in wrong forum then kindly move it to proper section, dont trash it
i just purchased lenovo ideapad a1 from lenovo outlet here in china, now the problem is it is not having market place, i tried downloading the apk off the net and placed it in sd card and install from their, the app installed but it goes to home when it says a gmail account signin needed.
ps: my lenovo info:
model number a1_07
android version: 2.3.4
product name: lepad_a1_07
kernel version: 2.6.35.7
keeping in mind i am a newbie so help with some beginers info links will be greatly appreciated. also mention which process will void its warranty ?
thanks
any one ?
no one here to help me root and load custom rom to lepad
no one to help sad
I think I have the same lenovo, also bought in China. I just updated it to a version with the google apps like gmail and market
mine buildnumber started with A107W0_A234_001 and I found the update on a lenovo download site. Because I'm a new user I cannot post the link.
but google for A107W0_A234_001_999_2210_ROW.zip
Download the zip, put it on your sdcard and rename to update.zip
Power off the tab and then hold volume down and power button together and wait till the recovery mode starts.
Hope this helps!
Thanks for the reply mate, i got the file from the google, i will try and let you know, thanks alot.
also have you rooted the a1 ?
If it is not working, try to use proxy

Rooting the A1
Hi,
I'm a noob too and looking to buy the A1 in China. But the Chinese UI and blocking of Android Marketplace is stopping me from buying it. If anyone has rooted this device, please post the steps. Thanks!

i can help you in getting the rom which is open for google services on your a1, but i dnt know if the device is still rooted yet, if you know the way from some source of rooting lenovo a1 then do let me know as well.
As far as I know rooting isn't possible jet. There is no simple way of rooting android 2.3.4 only with replacing the firmware.
But as I posted before there is an update available with the google apps and market. It is also possible to put the tablet in english so no chinise GUI.

Try to use hidemyass.com and get your gmail apps. Sign it in. Then use online market with proxy to install the apps you need.
If it is not working, I don't know what to do anymore.

i have successfully rooted the a1 as well, can you please direct me what can i do now ? like any tweaks i can do to this device? also another question what can i do to install every app to MY EXTERNAL SD CARD (which currently is a class 5 2gb card).
thanks
@predator_b4u - which A1 do you have? the 2GB one or the 16GB one?
---------- Post added at 10:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:30 PM ----------
I'm kinda confused on whether to buy the 2GB version or whether to go for the 16GB one which costs almost 400 RMB more...coz one can buy an SD card for cheap separately...

i have the 2gb version which was i think the last one piece on the outlet as they are pulling off this model (2gb) from sale, so let me ask you are you tight in budget? if yes then yes go for 2gb and get class 5 atleast card (as i have bought a card on which class 4 is mentioned and it came out to be a class 1 so my 70 rmbs are pretty much wasted, so you have to decide if you have money then get off this hassle and buy a 16 gigz else 2gb work great as well
hope this reply helped, if yes hit thanks

china phones did not provide google services
but if you want to use google services in that then you need to flash gapps package using custom recovery like cwm

Hi!
Please, I wish to know if someone have some tip to get working the screen wakeup with the volume key for the Huawei Ascend G700!!
I recently aquired a this cellphone (Mediatek Quadcore 1,3 ghz 5" IPS screen), in my opinion a nice device for the bucks.
I come from a Huawei Ascend Y300, with the volume key wakeup mod in it (i must to thank the great help i received from the user VavanL in the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44264908#post44264908 about the volume beep in the screen unlock.
If someone can help me in this i will thank him a lot, cause is very annoying for me always unlocking the device with this little and weak power on button...I remember the key of the thing was this 3 system files
system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl
system/usr/keylayout/querty.kl
system/framework/android.policy.jar
Thanks everyone!
Ok, first of all - what OS version you have(4.2 perhaps)
And second - where file links, man... Maybe I know how to help you

Hi VavanL!!!!!!
Long time i see you!
Sadly the G700 (great device by the way) is stuck in android 4.2.1 (waiting to mediatek free the code for the soc).
I see in the mod for the Y300 some devs add the line "WAKE" on the volume key.....but, im stuck with the android_policies.jar, i dont know how to modify them.
s
I add my untouched files!! Friend, i hope u can do your magic with it. (i have to add generik and qwerty as a rar cause dont let me to upload normally, decompress please).
Hi, pal!
Sry, but You have odexed rom - need to deodex it for future editing

There and there also guides how-to deodex stock rom, but it's a bit risky, you do all changes to your own responsibility!!!

The android 4.2.1 from my cellphone is untouched and i just copy the files, i remember to send u the Y300 files in the same way..
I dont have this kind of knowledge to do what the guide says...
Anyway pal, many thanks for all your responses, u are great!
I guess my G700 stays as it is.
...it's the way to edit android.policy file...Also you may flash already-deodexed custom rom for your phone

So the best way would be to put a "custom rom" and so this way i can send to you the correct files dont you?
Uffff..... i read is dangerous the deodexing, but im unable to find custom rom for the G700.....
Hey pal, u are the one, then i try to locate first some custom recovery and a proper custom rom.

Well....i just started to do step by step of the guide, but it turns incomprensible in some parts (due lack the bad translation done by google)...
Can i ask u a favor? Could you do some little guide when do you have some free time?
I gladly wait for it all the time you need..
I see they solved the "bootlop error" who many people has when they put the custom recovery.
Would be great if you can help us (there is so much people in the Htcmania.com forum waiting for a clear guide to install some Custom Firmware in there) and nobody do it until now as we can find.

Hi, diving in the web i find this..
http://customizegadget.blogspot.com.es/2014/05/huawei-g700-u10-how-to-install-cwm.html
What do you think?
Is so weird, this blog is the only translated method i was able to find....but im a little doubtfull.
It's very similar to that one i found in russian forum.
But they insist, that you must flash stock rom from official site first.
WARNING! For owners of the U10 and U20!!! Before you install a custom recovery compulsory flash stock firmware through "three keys"(Push both volume up (+) and volume down (+) plus Power Switch)!
Otherwise you will get bootloop!!!

It will be a few months since the j6 came out but we still have no news about customs roms on this phone. Would anyone have any information about this, and is it possible to flash j7 (2016) roms on j6 since they have the same processors? Thank you in advance for answers .
(Sorry if my english may not be clear , I'm french)
No, it is not possible. The J6 uses different display drivers.
I am currently working on porting a ROM from the J5 Pro with great features, but I am still trying to eliminate some bugs.
I may share a BETA soon, but I don't know yet.
So far I don't think any other recognized developer will pick this device up. It offers nothing new to previous phones, some would say it is just a waste of a phone lol
(I got it for free)
So yeah.

Hello H820 mates!
After a lot of searching, waiting and struggling, I managed to successfully upgrade from 6.0.1 (v10h) to 7.0 (v20t) and then 8.0 (v30a) with the help of a friend by OTA method.
I have TOT firmwares for H820.
1. H82010h (6.0.1)
2. H82020t (Last update of 7.0)
3. H82030a (8.0)
Which firmware you want?
If I got some positive response, I will be posting them on XDA for free for everyone.
Note: All 3 files have been read from my own phone by myself with a professional tool.
So, are you ready?? :good:
You really are the king of kings.
I'm more than ready, the moment finally arrived.
It would be great if you could share it with the community.
If I had to choose I would put oreo for being the last version, although with nougat it would fly.
One question I ask you is, with the system updates was the low volume solved when recording voice messages in whatsapp?
Please upload all the files, some of our comrades has been stuck at different version. Thank you

I can't confirm if H820 allows to write firmware readed from other phone as some new LG phones allows to flash only LG signed firmwares.
I don't wanna make problem to anyone's device.
I've checked on my own phone and that is working but I can't guarantee to anyone.
