[HowTo] Root without a computer!

Ok, so for whatever reason you don't have access to a computer or you forgot your usb cable, like I did.
Here is how you root with just your phone.
Download Astro Filemanager from the market.
Open Astro and goto, menu > more > preferences, scroll down to the helper apps section at the bottom. Check "Enable Browser Download".
Open up the browser and download this file (QR-Codes at the bottom)

Mirrors:

Open up Astro, browse to /sdcard/downloads, move update.zip to /sdcard
Power off your phone, enter recovery mode (vol keys + power)
select "reinstall packages"
reboot, enjoy root
Once you are done with this you can grab the rom manager from the market, install a custom recovery and restore your nandroid backup. Worked great for me!

Download the file with an alternate browser such as XScope. It will download to your sdcard/xscope/downloads directory. Hope that helps. Stock browsers have issues sometimes downloading zip files.

Seems to have worked for me...
-e

i managed to dl the file but i get an error when i try to install it recovery mode that says its bad. I used the second link as it works for dolphin. i guess ill have to DL this Xscope and see if it lets me DL from the first link and give that a go
Edit: i managed to DL the first file with the default browser but when i tried to install it i got the same error saying the file is bad
The file in the first link is 90kb and the one in the second is 6kb. Is one of these files the right size or is the DL bad
Edit: My last question was retarded. Its supposed to be 633kb. dont know why its only DLin part of the file
Final Edit: Got it to DL poperly with Xscope. Thanks

Rooting does not enable sideloading.

Auto update with wifi on combined with cm7 hboot causes a restart if you have much apps that is going to be updated. Probably because of high data write velocity and small cache.

-> Features similar, if not better, to Swype Beta
-> Bilingual word suggestion (2 Languages support)
-> Multi-languages
-> Excellent word and phrase prediction
-> 3 in app themes
-> Customizable keyboard layout
Tested and working on my LG P500 running AOKP Milestone 6 ROM but the screenshots are took from idareyoutoclickthis thread cuz i didnt had time to take some screenshots
DOWNLOAD HERE
Mirror HERE Only ENG
Installation:
1. Reboot to Recovery
2. Mount System
3. Flash zip file
If the for some reason the CWM zip didn't work for you or the Keyboard doesn't appear in settings do this:
1. Decompress the zip file.
2. Ignore the META-INF folder
3. In the app folder, you'll find textinput-chn.apk (Mandarin Chinese keyboard) and textinput-tng.apk (English keyboard).
4. You can move one or both into /system/app folder with ES File Manager/root explorer/etc. (or adb)
5. Move lib/libXT9Engine into /system/lib
6. Move usr/xt9 into /system/usr
7. Reboot. If you still don't see the keyboard in your settings, install the apk with your file manager which should work with the libraries installed.

[Tutorial] Switch to last Stock Rom (with gaps) from a Retailer Rom

Dear All,
Please find my first tutorial for this phone that I received today.
I took information from different site and from discussion of this forum.
The goal is to help new user and get them quicker to the result.
The idea is no to root in order to keep OTA update from leeco
I will explain how to :
Install last stock rom (in order to get future OTA update)
Install Google play store and others google apps
Make google contacts appears in "phone" menu
Install Morelocale 2 to switch in other languages than English
So Let's begin,
Install last stock rom (in order to get future OTA update)
First of all, download here the last rom :
http://bbs.le.com//zt/eui/le_max2.html
While create a leeco account following these instructions :
http://in.lemall.com/in/help/help-pid-5-id-375.html
You might find your activation link into your spams.
When the download is finished, rename the file in update.zip
Put it at the root of the phone
shut down the phone.
press the power button + volume up key to enter the upgrade interface, according to the following specific operating procedures.
Select "Use update.zip Update System" -> "Update" and "clear cache", reboot into the system
Install Google play store and others google apps
Google play is avalaible form the LeStore, you need to download from there. Type google in the search bar of leStore and you will find it :

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
After you have google play, you can install gmail, calender, maps, youtube...
Make google contacts appears in "phone" menu
I had the same issue than others, with the google contact inside the phone.
To make work, download and install this APK :
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-contacts-sync/google-contacts-sync-6-0-1-release/google-contacts-sync-6-0-1-android-apk-download/
After that, go to settings, App management, look for "Google contacts Sync", Permissions, and "tick" Contacts
Now it should work.
Install Morelocale 2 to switch in other languages than English
If you want other language than English, you can download morelocale from play store.
To make it your without root :
switch into developper mode :
settings, about the phone, click severals time on build number
Install Adb drivers on your computer from there : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
connect your phone in usb debug mode.
into the command line C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot\ send this adb shell pm grant jp.co.c_lis.ccl.morelocale android.permission.CHANGE_CONFIGURATION
You will be able to change to you language.
Tips
If you need to read some chinese, use Google translate app from your previous phone, you can take picture to translate some chinese.
I hope it will help some guys.
