Hi guys i need a little help over here.I bought this phone from AliExpress few days a go.Everything is ok,i think,with the phone itself.Checked it's CMIIT ID and it seems legit,not a counterfeit one.Only few problems i find are:
1. that it came with some chinese system apps which can't be removed without flashing new ROM.Version of ROM installed is VIBEUI_V2.5_1515_7.50.1_DEV_K50-T50 with multilanguage support (using Croatian atm. ).Is this Chinese ROM with multilang support?
2. it doesn't charge battery fast,it's pretty slow and battery life isn't best.No matter if i use original AC charger or charging it via USB port on my PC.
3. i don't have option to update phone in my phone/settings
I asked seller can i update to newer version but he responded that it wouldn't be a good idea because i will lose multilang support and warranty will be voided.I guess if i re-flash it back with currently ROM everything would be fine ?
Is there any official stable release with VIBEUI 2.8+multilang support +no Chinese apps+OTA for this phone i can use ?I saw the thread created by hackerpower but i couldn't find what i was looking for.Maybe someone facing the same problem as i am?
And would it make any difference,regarding battery life and overall performance,if i flash latest ROW rom ?
Thx
Nobody?..?

1. You can easily root with any of the methods. If you dont like using commands, try out the Lenovo K3 Note Manager. Its GUI. Once rooted, you can easily remove/disable/freeze the unwanted/chinese/bloatware apps.
2. You could use a different charger with higher power ratings. The charger which comes with the phone has a low power rating. I used my Samsung Tablet charger and it charges fast.
3. You could download the OTA update packages and flash it using SPF tool or via Recovery.
The official updates are Chinese and English only i believe.
There are many custom ROMs which has multi-lang support.

Hi
I have T-Mobile Galaxy Tab. Is there any way to make it support Arabic language?
THANX....
Yes just flash the middle eastern rom. either the jpjm4 or the jpjm5.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
I'm also looking for Arabic support. Mine is Galaxy Tab with stock rom
PDA : P1000ZHJK1
PHONE : P1000ZHJJ1
CSC : P1000ZZHJJ3
Is it ok if I flash an older ROM like P1000OJPJJ1 ? I heard that the newer rom has protected bootloader.
Thanks.
But then you can use the chainfire program to remove the bootloader files.
Use this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=933028&highlight=jpjm4
It’s fast and has no bootloader issues. The jpjm5 doesn't seem to have anything better really. Like you I am cautious about upgrading. I bought my tab in November and I used to change my rom like every dew days to try different things but since I installed the jpjm4 from @galaxer, I didn't change it because it’s super fast and everything works perfectly in it. Also have great Arabic fonts. I also flashed this kernel with it:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=924654
It works great and extends my battery life to at least 2 days, but this is optional you don't need to do this.
Another option you have is to flash the beta CM7 gingerbread (Android 2.3), it supports Arabic, but it has tons of issues because its beta. I don't recommend it to be your main working rom, you can flash it to play with and check it out.
I hope this helps
That is a freakin' awesome post!
Thank you very much I will try to flash the JPJM4 today.

I am on the same ROM AND Kernel the only thing i dont like about this ROM (And it is not an issue, really!) but i just dont like the few white lines that flashes when you boot your TAB. And regarding the kernel it doesn't enhance your battery performance unless you under-clock your CPU and you dont need that kernel just to do that, you can always get SetCPU and underclock. This kernel is for over clocking to 1.4Ghz and it does eat-up your battery EVEN though using SetCPU i have set the maximum to 1.4Ghz and minimum to 600Mhz
Just to let you know
Thanks every body
I install the rom mention above but i got two problmes
1- no market app in it. "easy i will find one"
2- i cant receive file through Bluetooth ??!! " I want solution for it if any one can?"
Yesterday i found Orange Rom which support Arabic but i couldn't change the arabic font ?!?!
My bluetooth and market arw working fine anare you sure you flashed everything correctly?
Regarding these lines in the begenning, I saw them in many other kernels before, they used to bather me too, but I dont care anymore . It lasts for like half a second and goes away. Also, this kernel allows you to change the battery voltage which is not an option with any kernel.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
After you flash the middle eastern rom flash the overcome kernal (2.01) and the ugly lines will go away and you will have your language.
Thanks Rangercabtain I wiped to factory rest then I flash overcome kernal (2.01)
now every thing OK
THANX every body

hi
yes ur right thats exactly what needs to be done it also worked for me
Didn't work for me. Now on Cherry Magnum HD Update 3. Smooth and very responsive. Everything works!
Stay off from CSL Spice 2.3.4 FB0-318D-0-5012-A03
I own a spice Mi-410. The A03 update seems to have greatly improved battery life (just over 3 days with limited calls, occasional fruit ninja, and data always on in 2G mode)
I started suffering from wake up lag issues on the official spice Gingerbread update FB0-318D-0-5012-A03 all of a sudden. An additional problem is that bluetooth support is very limited to receiving files on the stock Spice GB rom.
Since I had a good experience with the stock Cherry Magnum GB ROM A01 version (except for the lower battery life), I tried the more recent version (update 3) which is also an A03 release. I feel this is the best stock GB ROM currently for the Spice Mi-410. Of course removing some unnecessary bloatware also helps. For example I really do not see the need for nero sync. Also restored back the splash image and bootup animation/sounds from the Spice ROM. Having no issues for the last few weeks.

WellcoM A99's Gingerbread ROM is the most stable one (latest also) available, it's based on 3.18E build
ZERO software bug I've found so far... (assuming touch screen axis inversion & weak GPS signal are hardware problems)

IIRC I used SUT to flash that ROM
Sorry for the confusing statements. The A03 update is pretty good, but I had three issues with it.
1. Limited bluetooth support (try sending files from your phone with bluetooth). Have to use a third party app to deal with this problem.
2. GPS is quite poor. Takes a long time to get a lock.
3. Camera color balance does not work well.
4. Missing Android Gingerbread keyboard. In my opinion touchpal keyboard though better than the Froyo keyboard is not as good as the GB keyboard.
The A01 update which I tried caused issues with the wakeup lag but atleast had a working GPS and proper color balance.
For the reasons listed above I prefer the Cherry MagnumHD FB0-318D-0-5019-A03 ROM to the Spice FB0-318D-0-5012-A03 ROM.

Not sure what you mean by weak GPS signal and touch screen axis inversion. I get a GPS lock (outdoors) within 30s most of the time and within 60s all the time, with AGPS.

yeah, with A-GPS it sure is very fast... it is supposed to
I was talking about the vanilla offline GPS, slow & painful as hell 99% of the time
The vanilla offline GPS can take as much as 10-15minutes before it gets a GPS lock and this I mean outdoors. This is especially true if the GPS is offline for sometime as it has to download the ephemeris data again. For more information you can read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPS_signals.
Since Ideos X6 variants all use the Quacomm Snapdragon 8255 SoC there should be no difference in the performance of the system compared to say the HTC Desire HD or Desire-S. Any issues (and I have not found any GPS issues with the Desire-S which I tested for two weeks and neither found any with the Spice Mi-410) is likely to be firmware related. I did have GPS issues with the Spice Mi-410 GB A03 firmware which was very stable otherwise.
So likely a firmware issue.
You can also try the GPS Test app from the android market https://market.android.com/details?id=com.chartcross.gpstest&hl=en

MI410 Cancer with CHerry A03
Hi,
I have upgraded to Cherry Magnum HD A01, and it was all fine.
Upgraded to A03 (update 3), Battery Life has increased, and Touch felt as good, all was great till last week. Thats when issues started.
Problems:
1) Very slow response on trying to unlock screen
2) Very slow performance
3) Lag in ringtone (As if there are scratches while running a CD)
4) Call answers after 5 seconds
5) ....... Overall runs as if its struggling to survive with Cancer.
I Tried:
1) Cleared Cache (Helped for an hour)
2) Factory Rest (Helped for a day)
3) Reinstalled Firmware Removed Google Account running with new Google Account (Helping so far, aint sure when it start stuggling with Cancer again)
4)Tried to flash with Spice CSL A03 (dint work)
Any help in this regards will help many ambitious impatient users of MI410 like me who rushed to flash by re branding.
Any Body has update to V20E in Hong Kong ? anything change ?
I found the previous V20D was quite buggy, quite a few unexplained issues during normal use. I flashed CM7 and happy with it, not interest on stock rom anymore.
I don't want to give up stock rom coz want to know can update to ICS in one day
( Fairy Tail only )
me2, I've updated to 20e, it seems to be a little bit better than 20d.
The Update was disable !!!

You don't have to worry about that, you can flash back to stock rom at anytime. I did it few times without any problem.
The thread below described how to a flash stock rom file (.kdz):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1327929
It's recommended to download your current kdz rom file from LG web site:
1. open a browser and type this in address bar: http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=XXX...XXX
replace XXX...XXX with IMEI number of your phone;
2. it will return a long string contained a URL of a kdz file ('http://csmg.lgmobile.com.....kdz')
3. copy that URL and download that kdz file to your HDD.
i.e. URL for V20D: http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/LGP990/AHKGBK/V20d_00/V20D_00.kdz;
In my case, I was using other custom rom before, when LG release GB I flashed my phone back to V10F followed the method above, and then used LG tools on-line upgraded to V20D.
Hi Eric and hkkp,
My experience is CM7 give me a smoother experience and better battery life:
http://bbs.hiapk.com/thread-2931011-1-1.html
However, you need to update the latest CM7 kernel in order to fix the "sleep death" problem:
http://www.4shared.com/folder/9Y9RYzQA/_online.html
Advantage of stock rom is better screen and photo quality.
Someone have modified and improve the stock rom, I have tried and it is better than the stock one. If you really care about the camera and video quality more than smoothness and performance, you should use this:
http://www.angeeks.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=1848884&extra=page%3D1%26filter%3Dtypeid%26typeid%3D14%26typeid%3D14
I am look forward to the ICS. CM9 will come up very soon. It will release before the formal LG one.
Our india got same v20e at same nearby date of hong kong.
Its somewhat better and had heridetry proxy settings in wifi. I dint use it long but it was less battery eater. May be it was optimized for asian sim providers.
Sent from my LG-P990 using Tapatalk
switched to MIUI rom now, it has a bit more functions which is useful for me. MIUI + ironKernel + Go Launcher, sounds like a perfect combination.
I believe when LG release ICS, there must be CM9 and/or some other better custom rom out there. I won't go back to stock rom unless I need to bring my phone back to LG repairing centre.
Hi,
Many countries ROM are now available on SAM Mobile.
Can anyone suggest which one is best on battery and performance.
I tried GERMANY firmware and it ain't good. It hangs a lot and battery is very poor.
Currently using SER , Russia firmware and it also not stable. It is slow and battery is again an issue.
Please advice which one should i flash in order to have best battery and performance ?
Regards,
Kaps
You'll ge the most support for the German one: XXLSZ
They will all have the same battery life and performance one you remove the bloat that comes with it. Make sure you do a factory reset before flashing JB (on condition that you are on a safe kernel, if you are not then flash a safe kernel like Philz first).
I did flash Germany version thinking the same, but found it a little sluggish.
Also my phone starting rebooting on its own.
yesterday i have flashed UAE version and so far it is good. It is fast and smooth.
Battery :
I charged to 100% today 6:00 AM
With moderate use and data always on, smart stay, and full brightness, it is currently at 80% (current time is 12:02)
I think it would provide good battery results. Will keep you posted.
Hello guys,
A few months ago I bought my MI3 and now I want to install MIUI v6.
I've tried anything to get the newest OS for my phone but it just won't work.
When I ask someone what I'd do they say to follow this. thread-11047-1-1(can't post outside link but its on the official miui site)
But the flashing tool doesn't recognise my phone, and when I try to update it through recovery mode the update fails.
Although I think I do now the problem...
When I bought my phone from To2c.com I checked that they'd install the multilanguage ROM, so they did.
I don't know but I read somewhere that it has to do whit that dealers install multilanguage ROMS on it, am I right?
Because when I just want to open the updater app it force closes.
Another problem I have is that my phone sometimes randomly restarts and it sometimes takes longer than 10min.
Are these 2 problems in common and can I fix them?
I hope someone could tell me what to do about it because I'm tired of it.
PS: MIUI v6 would be fine but if it's possible I want to install android l stock, is there a STABLE version?
Install cpu-z, run it, get a screenshot of the results and post them up.
Thanks.
Wow, so much questions in a single question. Keep calm bro.
