Hi,
I'd like to ask you, if is there someone who knows, how to make Lenovo S5000 3G (with SIM slot) calling?
Could it be similar like on >Lenovo A 3000< ??? Bcs I really hope so.. :angel:
Thanks to all for your answers!!!!!
:fingers-crossed:
pls help me..........
i need call option for lenovo S5000
The Chinese version has call option. but it doesn't have Google Apps and you can't install one. the international version on the other hand has gapps but only supports SMS and data connection.
Is there any workaround to add in the Gapps to Chinese ROM or add in the calling function from China ROM to international ROM?
IMO i think the baseband is the key point in this case.

I followed and tried the instructions and it WORKED! Now I have the call feature of my Lenovo S5000 but I have hard time with the root or SUperuser in the S5000 since it is chinese. I checked my root (thru Root Checker) and it is rooted. If somebody knows the name or can change the language of the "Superuser" in the Screenshot, I really appreciate.

USB driver you need for your Lenovo S5000
www(dot)dropbox(dot)com/s/ker4lntmk2pyhvy/USB_Drivers.rar
Steps in Updating USB driver of your Lenovo in your Windows PC:
1. Turn off your S5000, making sure that the USB Debugging is swith on in Developer Options in Settings.
2. Open Device Manager (you can type Device Manager in Search in Start Menu of your PC)
3. Plug to USB of your PC
4. In Device Manager Window, watch carefully the "Lenovo" to appear, it only appears for few seconds and it disappears. Right Click it and Update driver, then locate the file that you previously downloaded according to your PC version.

All the links provided are active and alive. There's no problem in downloading.
The ROM is not rooted hence you need to root using the SRoot. SRoot is in chinese so just open the exe file, plug your device and click "ROOT". Just wait for the "confirmation" before unplugging your device. You can verify by Root Checker. The "SuperUser" used in the root is in chinese language, see my previous post and screenshots.
I can help you in adding Gapps.
1.Download and extract the GApps rar file.
2. After extracting you can see these: 2 folders and one file
Folder 1: META-INF
Folder 2: System
File: install-optional.sh
3. In your device, browse files using any File Explorer supporting Root, Let say "Root Explorer". Mount the "System" folder to RW so that you can copy the files in Step#2.
4. In copying the Files in Step#2, the "Root Explorer" app is very easy in doing these.
4.1 Copy the "META-INF" folder and paste directly to the "System" folder in your device.
4.2 Copy the "install-optional.sh" file and paste directly to the "System" folder in your device.
4.3 Open the folder "System" 5 subfolders namely: add-on, app, etc, framework, lib
4.3.1 Copy the "add-on" folder directly to the "System" folder in your device.
4.3.2 Copy the all the files from "app" folder and paste directly to the existing "app" subfolder in the "System" folder in your device.
4.3.3 Copy the all the files from "etc" folder and paste directly to the existing "etc" subfolder in the "System" folder in your device.
4.3.4 Copy the all the files from "framework" folder and paste directly to the existing "framework" subfolder in the "System" folder in your device.
4.3.5 Copy the all the files from "lib" folder and paste directly to the existing "lib" subfolder in the "System" folder in your device.
5. Reboot your device. You have now GApps.

The ROM is almost perfect. The only bug I found (or maybe not) is the poor reception of GPS signal when I installed the Sygic Navi, but I found solution to that. My battery lasts longer and a very heavy usage of the Tab, 3G data is on as well, about 60% left after the end of each day. Regular call functions also very clear especially when I updated the dialer. I applied the Galaxy Launcher and I really love it more that my Samsung GS4. Radio was also included (I don't know if the SMS-only ROM includes radio)

This is the screenshot of SRoot. All you have to do is click "ROOT"and leave our device until a popup will come.
After doing this, install to your S5000 the Root Checker app to verify your root. Good luck.

DO NOT USE THE NEW METHOD UNTIL I WORK OUT WHERE THE PROBLEM IS. HAD 3 BAD REPORTS *NEW METHOD PLEASE READ* *OLD METHOD IS DOWN THE BOTTOM AND MIGHT BE USEFUL IF NEW METHOD FAILS*
WORKING ON GINGERBREAD AND FROYO
Hello guys. There are other methods of doing this that might seem complicated for new users so I thought I would write this simple, easy and FAST guide to help people that would like to have their correct country CSC file after installing a custom ROM or if they have simply lost the settings. The benefits of this would be to have correct APN settings MMS / Internet etc. also KIES will recognise it as your Country.
Step 1. Make sure phone is rooted and you have disabled your lagfix if you are currently using one.
Visit this thread here and download your CSC folder:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=787163
This link also has examples of how to change CSC but some might not be as confident using these methods which is why I made this guide
Step 2. Unzip your CSC file using winzip, winrar or 7zip <---- recommended. If you don't have one of these they are free so google it
This next part is recommended by me but it is (optional) Take out the bloatware / boot animations
For example I am with Vodafone Australia so I go into the folder I have just unzipped mine is named VAU then into the system folder and I delete the apk folder as I don't need any of the stock vodafone applications. I also delete the media folder as I do not want the Vodafone boot animation
All I am left with is:
CSC folder
CSCFiles.txt
CSCVersion.txt
SW_Configuration.xml
Step 3. Connect your phone to your computer then copy and paste the complete folder over to your sdcard. Open root explorer and go to the folder and long press on it and then click on copy, now you will need to navigate and paste your folder in to this directory: system/csc *NOTE* It might not paste unless you click up the top mount R/W
Step 4. Make sure you have NITRALITY from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1067857 *NOTE* there is a premium app so if you like the app please buy premium and remember to rate and comment. I have mentioned NITRALITY Because the CSCChanger.apk I have attached in this thread is quite outdated but use the old method found at the bottom of this thread ONLY if you experience problems with NITRALITY
Now Open NITRALITY then navigate to tools > Change CSC *should be down the bottom* select the desired folder and install
Your phone will reboot and it might take slightly longer than usual to boot up. You have now applied your country CSC. I hope this helps some people and don't forget all I expect is a thanks.
*****ONLY IF NITRALITY IS NOT WORKING THEN USE THIS METHOD AFTER STEP 3 ------> Download CSCChanger.apk that I have attached in this thread and copy it to your phone then install it with root explorer. Navigate in root explorer back to you sdcard where you have CSCChanger.apk and click on the file and install it. After it has installed it will be in your app draw named Test2 open this app and click on Start the CSC changer, select the folder you have just copied to system/csc then click install then you're done.
With this method you are it is best done as soon as you flash a ROM as it does a partial factory reset to change over *You will lose personal settings such as ringtone selection etc and it also wipes any apps you have installed *AFTER* you flash your ROM *You will not lose any apps that come with your ROM* so don't worry *****
I am not responsible if something goes wrong!
Special thanks:
Bloodrider for his methods and for the CSC Files
Nitr8 for his fantastic ROM and Nitrality tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=843019
thanks for the above!
very nice!

Tried this on 2.2.1 unfortunately does not work.
Keeps going back to KOR code. The HUT code is there, I install it but still no go.
Anyone had success on 2.2.1?
Edit: Works now. I had one extra path in the folder structure i.e HUT/HUT/system.
Just erased the first HUT and now have HUT product code. Thanks. Although still can't get MMS to work.
I installed the apk. But at Preconfig step, I have to enter the Sales Code(I suppose). I click on the text box but I don't get the Keyboard). On the text box it is written KOR. If I click on Install button I get the following message: "Must be THREE chars."
I followed the steps you mentioned.
Please help.

Dont know if this thread will be use to you depends upon what CSC you need .
bdl1969 has put a rom together with CPW, DBT, KOR, XEO and XEU CSCs
Other route would be via the rom kitchen and choose CSC build a rom and flash it .

You don't need the CSCchanger .apk to change the code.
If you have already saved the CSC folder to your phone type in
*#272*imei#* to your keypad (you can get your imei with *#06#)
and from there you will see the available product codes. Choose the one
you want and click install.
What is my 3 letter CSC and how do I get it? The phone tells me:
CSC: I9000OLBJPA
ProductCode: GT-I9000HKDSIN
Singapore, Singtel, 8GB version
Thanks.

Strange. Contact your carrier and they will give you the settings.
I have used this method on 2.2 2.2.1
So long as you are using the correct CSC from the site supplied it should work

Can you please post a screenshot. I have never needed to manually enter the code. However if you have your CSC folder in the correct location you should just enter the 3 digits that is your product code. Mine is VAU

When files paste but don't show up in root explorer it usually means you haven't paid for root explorer and are using a dodge copy of it. Be sure to support the dev and get the paid version if so. These are the only 2 things I can think of

Sounds like ftf file is not in the right format, or you put the ftf somewhere other than firmware folder. Heard some people saying that some of the links download a zip file. If it's a zip file rename it ftf, or if you have more than one flash tool saved on your computer, did you accidentally put it and older flash tool/firmware folder?

Root Explorer is the most useful app on my phone, and if you like to play with your phone it is well worth it. However, you can do it for free with adb commands. You need SDK set up on your computer, or use the app terminal emulator. I suggest using terminal emulator, because setting up SDK TOOLS can be pretty involved if you've never done anything like this before. For the correct commands, check My_immortal's guide to making dualtouch work on stock apps in the development section. It's in the middle of the thread somewhere. My advice, if time is money to you, spend the 2 bucks on Root Explorer and support the developers. You'll use it all the time with a rooted phone.

thanks for the reply, i spent like 1-2 days trying to get it to work and cant find any free apps, tried some but doesnt work. i end up buying root exlorer and its damn so easy to copy files across and set the permissions where as other apps give me a big headache.
i dont no wats adb, but i think in future i will use the app again when there is more good stuff like dual touch and i need to copy files and set permission.

You can also use it to uninstall system apps that you don't use but are eating up all your RAM and space, like Timescape, SE sync, SE backup & restore. Chinese keyboard, moxier, play now. Another useful app you should get is titanium backup (free version in the market). Then get xRecovery and enable JIT, and watch your X10 fly. There are all kinds of things you can do now that you're rooted. Search xda Xperia forum for guides for noobs.

After that just flash and reboot =)
If the Rom is capable of Dual-/Multitouch you will have it now.

How?
Press BACK button few times right after white SE label appears.
Controls:
Use VOLUME-UP and VOLUME-DOWN to browse, HOME to select, BACK to go back.
Features:
ADB root shell
Reboot
Install update.zip from SD Card
Factory reset (full wipe)
Wipe cache partition
Install custom zip
Backup and Restore
Partition tools
Mount/unmount partitions
Format partitions
Mount as USB Storage
Advanced options
Wipe Dalvik cache
Wipe battery stats
Fix permissions for apps (FC fix)
Automatic Installation (recommended):
Open xRecovery installer app and tap "Install xRecovery"
Manual Installation:
- Download the apk, rename it to xRecovery-0.2-release.ZIP
- Unpack the file, find ./res/raw folder inside. It should contain 3 files (chargemon, busybox, xrecovery.tar)
- copy these 3 files into /system/bin using root explorer (remember to remount /system rw
Notes:
Please bear in mind that it's not the regular android recovery (we cannot replace recovery image without cracked bootloader). Instead, the boot hijacking is used to start recovery mode. You still need basic files on your /system partition to use this. NEVER use the "format /system" option alone (without flashing another system image thereafter).
This recovery is NOT compatibile with Dual Booting for custom roms (for now you can't have both).
This recovery WILL be used to flash custom roms easily.
DO NOT reinstall busybox. Recovery depends on it's particular busybox version.
Requirements:
1. Phone must be rooted
2. Busybox from the market installed
Changelog:
0.2-release: fixed installation issues for those with trashed mtd0 partition
0.1-release: xRecovery installer app - thanks zoz33!
0.0.1-beta: Initial release (for testers)
Download:
xRecovery 0.2-release
WARNING! IF YOU HAVE X10 HD (PRE-INSTALLED ANDROID 2.1) AND CANNOT BOOT INTO RECOVERY
USING REGULAR RELEASE (E.G. STUCK AT SE LABEL), YOU MAY TRY TO USE THE APK BELOW:

I don't know what "i got flah it in flash mod from phone.. and nothing happen!" means.
As for root explorer, I thought I clearly stated the options. What part did you not understand?

No offense to XperiaX10iUser because he is basically one of the Godfathers of xda Xperia forum, but the xRecovery explanation he sited may sound Greek or scare off a noob. It did for me, however I've learned that you don't have to understand everything first in order to use it. I think of it like this... xRecovery is a noobs best friend, that will allow you to do most of the cool things on xda, and enabling JIT is your X10's best friend. Basically xRecovery allows you to select from a menu a lot of the things you used to need your computer and a lot of know-how to do. It's a lot like a drop down menu you use on Windows. Click on the option and it does the work for you. No need to know everything it does, as each time you use it you will learn more about it.
I don't technically understand JIT, but enabling JIT in simple terms does something with how you phone uses your sdcard and RAM. It speeds up the visual component, so the screen reacts smoothly. For one thing, when you scroll through your app tray it does not tick or lag.
I'm on my phone so I can't provide a link.
You can also improve performance and battery life by using root explorer or titanium backup to uninstall unused or heavy resource using system apps. I have removed Timescape, Play Now, SE sync, SE backup & restore, moxier mall, Chinese & Korean keyboards, PC Companion, Social Networking Service, Face Recognition, and more. Timescape is the big one if you are not using it. Search this forum for a full list of safe apps to remove.

These are confirmed working ONLY on the Android version listed below on the SOFTBANK network in JAPAN and requires ROOT ACCESS unless you are already on stock Android
SMS's and MMS's in Japan are called S'Mail. The main difference is this: You can either enter the phone number or the email of your recipient and any length of text or attachments can be sent (Works like emails, but it also uses phone numbers as an address). The problem is that unless your Rom or phone comes from Japan, you will be limited to SMS functionality only, if you are lucky.
The main problem is that the company requires a specific useragent to be specidied by the messaging app. I use Softbank here in Tokyo so I have made some tweaks get the apps to work for a few versions of Android that I have been using. I thought I would share them in the hopes of helping others out too.

HTC Sense Instructions
I have finally found a way to get the stock Sense messaging app to work. It actually works much better than the stock android once you get it going. There is no app to install. Sense copies the UserAgent information from a default file into it's internal database the first time you boot your phone after a factory reset or new installation (data wiped). The Stock app reads the database to get the UserAgent. I created a recovery flash-able file to make it easier.
Flash View attachment SoftbankSenseUserAgent.zip (Taken from ARHD 4.1.1) or View attachment SoftbankSenseJBUserAgent31.zip (Taken from ARHD 31-4.2.2) after a full data wipe or after fresh install (FLASH BEFORE FIRST BOOT) - (Updated 4 Sep 2012)
After flash, boot device for first time.
Don't forget to add your Softbank APN details.
DONE
You can do this on your phone before you do a factory reset or edit a ROM.zip before you flash it. The IMPORTANT thing is that it's a factory reset or completely fresh (data-wipe) install. Once booted and your APN is entered the stock app should work nicely.
USEFUL TIP: Once you get this working once. Use Titanium Backup App to backup "Customization Settings Provider". Restore this on any sense ROM after this and your messages will work. This is handy if flash often and don't have time to unzip each new ROM.

HTC Sense Instructions
Exactly the same instructions as the above Sense Ice Cream Sandwich instructions, except please use this file: View attachment 1458044
INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLING THE APPS:
Try this first - just download and install the apk. If the install has no errors this is the easiest way. Your good to go.
If you get an error message - (Your phone MUST have root access from here)
1. Delete the Message app from your /system/app folder (Could be Mms.apk or something different with other providers)
2. Copy and paste the downloaded MMS.apk into the system/app folder and change permissions to match the other apps in that folder
OR
2. Restart your phone and install the downloaded app as usual.
OMG, I have tried so many times with adb and apktool but just couldn't get it done!
Thanks!

Yeah it took many tries, but it worked when I changed the URL in the res/xml/config as well as the useragent.

Do you have a silver or black sim card? Which APN are you using? I can only vouch for the silver sim card with the "open.softbank.ne.jp" APN. This downloads pictures.
I don't think the MMS app was designed to be able to download other types of attachments like gmail. I'll look into it though.
Edit: looked into it. Only pictures as far as I can tell.
Here's my Mms.apk for ICS - I modified one that has Emoji support (and changed the UserAgent and URL for Softbank compatibility). Have tested receiving and sending MMS and it works fine.
It is styled after Sense and so has avatars and speech bubbles:

Brilliant thanks! I was going to do this for my new One X that arrives tomorrow. I'll put it into the first post with credits to you. Just let me know if this isn't ok.
That's fine by me. I can't take the credit for actually making the app, I got it from here, and modified the config files to use the correct user agent strings. I hope people find it useful.
I have unlocked and rooted the HTC One X (International) by All-in-One Root Tool. Still with stock ROM/Kernel, SuperSU v0.90 and CWM recovery v5.8.4.0.
But would you mind providing an instruction how to install the MmsEmoji.apk?
First rename it into Mms.apk, then use ES file explorer to install the downloaded apk, it says "an existing package by the same name with a conflicting signature is already installed".
Then try to mount system/app into R/W with the mount/system app from Google Play. Still cant copy the mms.apk into system/app folder.
PS. Watching Thunder vs Heat in the same time is not very productive

Changes?
What changes did you make to the source code?
I'd like to keep building this myself when versions get changed.
I did change the User Agent to iPhoneOS, but you are talking about some URL as well. What file is this, and what do i change it to?
Thanks!
@BrianInfo,
Sure. Your phone does need to be rooted, so you can remount /system/app read/write. I always do it from the bootloader, where my desire's system partition security is off. Then you can just
adb push EmojiMms.apk /system/app/Mms.apk and reboot.
You can probably do it from Android if your system partition is not security protected (S-OFF), by going to a shell, remount /system rw, and then deleting Mms.apk and putting the modified one in its place. You will need to reboot after that, though.
@viddy,
I used apktool to unpack the source code. The file you need to edit is res/xml/mms_config.xml.
Change the userAgent entry to
Code:
<string name="userAgent">iPhoneOS/3.0 (7A341)</string>
and then change the uaProfUrl to
Code:
<string name="uaProfUrl">http://www.google.com/oha/rdf/ua-profile-kila.xml</string>
I also had a problem where I could receive but not send due to the maxMessageSize being set too high. It's currently set at 307200, which is working fine. maxImageHeight is 768 and maxImageWidth is 1024, but you could probably play around with those if you wanted to see what the maximum allowed image dimensions/message size is according to Softbank. I pinched those values from dombayo's Mms.apk, and they work fine.
Then just rebuild it using apktool, and sign using jarsigner, after doing a zipalign. You're good to go!
With this it let's you be able to see emojis from iPhones? Or just allows you to send
Sent from my MB855 using XDA
Jaemo, it does both. You can also use emoji in your messages.

Go to the HTC MMS app with you root explorer. Rename to MMS.bak or delete the file. Then do either of these 2 steps:
Copy and paste the new MMS.apk into the system/app folder and change permissions to match the others in that folder OR
Restart your phone. After this just click MMS.apk and it should install normally.
will this work for Sprint?
none of these are working for me?!
Jaemo, what specifically isn't working? Emoji? Sending mms? These apks are made specifically for Softbank's network, and while they may work on sprint, we can't test that. You're probably better off getting one of the emoji-enabled mms.apk files linked from one of my posts on the first page, which is not modified to work with Softbank. But we'll need more info if we are to help you effectively. What have you tried?

it seems as if iPhone users still can't see the emoji i've sent.. I'm using jokersax's ics rom cm9 and i was able to send emoji but iPhone users still can't see it they say it gives them the box symbol.

hi
i m in 14?4.A.0.108 second edition on z1 compact and root and cwm and xposed instaled
j ever do my update with ota but at this time after update my phone says " could not verified" and the new firmware 14.4.A.0.157 is not installed
my bootlooder is locked and j didnt understant what is the propleme !!!!!
can you please help
thank you
You need to go back to stock before the OTA will install.. That means no xposed and any apps that you've uninstalled that came with the ROM need to be installed again..
A factory reset could do it, but if you do that then you will lose all your user data.. So make backups of everything you want to save before you do that.
If that doesn't work then you'll have to completely reflash the stock ROM, then try to download the OTA.. But that would be senseless as you'd be saving yourself time and downloads by just flashing the updated stock ROM
did you deodexed your rom? i have xposed, SU, recovery installed, but got no problem update to 157 via OTA...
I had the same problem, just install the new update via PC companion, you won't loose any data. One thing you'll loose is root

I recently had drama of a similar nature - used PC companion successfully as a workaround.
If is here someone, who still has this problem, look into /cache/recovery/fota/ and open "report" file. If you are not able to open this - it ends with error, just copy it into internal storage or SD Card.
First of all, you need to find a lines which looks like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The important part is rb_file_open[4]. If this line ends with "could not stat file" or someting like this, you need to download this zip https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-79RLdvfasJMV9ZM2dfVEZtRnM/view?usp=sharing and copy/paste the missing file into your system. Don't forget to change permissions RW+R+R
If this won't help, you probably also have installed 4k mod and your "report" file looks exactly the same like the what I post above.
So, if yes, than download this zip https://mega.co.nz/#!QZYkGZZR!BL9dkTpPzPcClEz8our776jpXpia827mYEd5lCM3OvI and replace all files in your system with the files in this zip. Again, don't forget to change permissions RW+R+R and reboot your phone.
Now you should be able to update your phone with/over OTA. Thanks pcpepik from xperia.cz
Thanks play3man.
just by going through your post i was directed in the right way for resolve this issue. Though i did not follow the exact steps that you mentioned, but, the "rb_file_open[4]" really helped. Here is what i did:
1. Using ES File Explorer i navigated to /cache/recovery/fota/ and opened "report" file
2. Went all the way down (actually somewhere almost 3/4th down) and located the line rb_file_open[4]
3. This line actually said it is trying to open the Build.Prop file and mentions the size of that file in the end of that line.
4. I suddenly remembered that i had edited my Build.Prop file a few weeks back for some testing (ro.ril.enable.dtm=1) Like i said i was doing some testing. Though this setting does not work with my Mobile Service Provider (Airtel) here in India for 2G Networks. But I had kept the setting as it is and never bothered reverting it.
5. So what i did was, edited my build.prop file again and reverted that setting by deleting this line which i had added a few days back.
6. Rebooted my phone
7. Downloaded the OTA again, and tried installing it.
8. And it was a great success . LOL It Worked!!!!
So basically, this error, "Could not verify", could also simply mean that the System files are missing/corrupt or as simple as modified by the user and hence the verification could not complete. So people who have their Build.Prop file modified by one means or other (Manually, Scripted, or by Xposed) You may face this issue and may want to try this method and then make all those settings in build.prop file after installing the update. You could also temporarily revert the old build.prop file which you may have backed up somewhere before modifying it.
Hope this helps!!!

I have the same error on a stock Z1C, only rooted. I think if we could get the file from somewhere we could drop it on and the OTA would complete, and we'd probably keep root ?
Thank you for the /cache/recovery/fota/report trick. It seems my phone was missing /system/app/SonyEntrance.odex and .apk - I am not sure how this happened or what those files are for.

if u don't know your app package name, fx shows the app icon in android/data right on the folder just copy the name.
add these lines in the file.
<mw_app package_name="com.facebook.katana"

don't forget, that file shoud be in /data/cust/xml .. so u must mount read-write in FX
change the value between the quotes in the code above to the package name of the app you want.
the above one is that of facebook.
///mw_app = multiwindow app.
add the line under any line like this

now after you are done adding your apps
go to settings > manage apps > all > chose Hwdualwindowlauncher
and clear its data.
Now try multiwindow and see
It wi work if u do it from the homescreen , if u open the app and try it won't. that's because you should reboot

Hey, do you have root access? This a required part...
If you are rooted and cannot create a folder try a different root explorer. I've had it with a couple of these apps where you are unable to add / edit folders or files in root (most surprisingly I got this with ES File Explorer, which was my go-to app for years) I just recently discovered FX (just search those two letters in the Play Store) and it works like an absolute charm, and looks great at the same time! You'll have to install a root plugin, though it is linked in the app and it's free as well. :good:
[EDIT]: I see you are already using FX, sorry about that. I don't think you have the root plugin installed. Search for "File Explorer (root add-on)" on the Play Store and install it, you should then be able to create the folders once you granted the app access in SuperSU.
But besides that, yes, the cust folder in /data does not exist by default (at least it didn't on my device either), but once you create it it works a treat.

I just happened to notice that in /data was a symlink named cust, I don't know what it was supposed to link to because it can't be opened. I renamed it to free the name and was then able to create the path and move the xml file there. Added my apps to the xml like chrome and whatsapp, cleared the data for hwdualwindow app and rebooted, still not working for dual window though, either I've done something stupid or those 2 apps don't support dual window. Ah well....

Anyone know if this works on B331 MT7-TL10? I've tried the instruction but /data/cust/xml does not exist and can't be created.

Screenshot attached. Note I managed to get the file into the right path, just can't seem to get the feature to work.

Not sure on that synlink, it's nowhere to be found on my device. Just make sure that you create or have the following directory: /data/cust/xml. There is a cust folder in the root folder, however putting the xml files in there does not work.
I can confirm that Whatsapp and Chrome are both functioning well in MW on my device.

Do we know if any other launcher is compatible with multi window? I'm just not a fan of the stock launcher

After rolling back to B326 it seems to finally be working! Maybe something wrong with my previous install. Looks good now. Attached screenshot with Chrome and ES File Explorer running split screen.
Tried adding my launcher (Nova) to the list and it shows up on the dual screen selection menu but sadly just minimizes all apps and goes to home screen. Guess it's not ideal for 3rd party launchers.
Anyways, thanks for the tutorial mate!

so basically, create 3 folders which are data( if not already there) then create cust inside it and then create XML folder inside cust. inside XML folder, you will create a file and name it whatever you want and end it with .xml and write inside it. then go to setting and clear data and reboot.
I did this and its not working at all. I can open the multiwindow but I cant add the chrome app.

Which firmware are you running? I got mine to work in the path /data/cust/xml/multiwindow_whitelist_apps.xml
I have a feeling that the path may be different on some firmwares as I could not get this to work on B331, but works perfect on B326.
I see you don't have the complete xml file, download the one I've attached here and try with that, its the one I'm using on my phone.
By the way, I use ES File Explorer with the root access setting enabled. Found it better than the explorer suggested by the OP (personal preference though, use what you like)

okay I did this and it didnt work. first question,
I must name the file the same name you have ? " multiwindow_whitelist_apps.xml"
my phone info:
model: MT7-TL10
Android Version: 5.1.1
EMUI version: 3.1
I attached a pic showing the folders and there is a cust folder and a data folder when I access the #system (root) folder and when I make a file inside the XML folder
I will write this inside it:
(<mw_app package_name="com.facebook.katana"
default_visibility="1"/>
///mw_app = multiwindow app.)
right ?
I downlouded ES explorer and I founded two local and there is two data folders, which folder you guys talking about. ?
