Needs some additional work though especially around how to configure for a specific type/brand of modem.
Thanks
FINALLY a AdHoc that works, many thanks for the file and the instructions. I tried some of the others several times with no luck.
pretty cool thanks for making it easy to find the good work the devs are doing.
Thanks for the how to's
First off, let me say thanks to all you developers and all the hard work you put in.
I am a complete noob to Android, rooting, and custom ROMS. I bought the A500 to travel with to complete simple paperwork, internet, emails, and watch movies while in the plane. I travel a lot so this makes it more compact than my laptop.
I have been following dc13's ROM thread and have to admit I am quite interested. It seems he has managed to greatly improve the battery life which is very nice for me.
My question, any chance to get an A500 Noob section for the stuff we noobs are new to? I have tried reading various threads and write ups from searches but even though itvseems like rooting shares some similar techniques, there is a bit of device specific steps also. I am interested in being able to do simple things like remove apps, try out ROM's, and even do backups. Today I downloaded apps; Titanium Backup, ROM Manager, and Busy Box because it seems those come up a lot. After reading the warnings for BusyBox I decided not to mess with it. I did try to run a simple ROM backup today on ROM Manager and got the !triangle.
I have rooted, using the directions on here. I guess it worked, but when I went into settings and tried to delete Social Jogger using the file manager app, it said I did not have permission.
So as you guys can see, it would be nice to find device specific support for us boneheads who want a bit more freedom, without needing to know all you Devs know.
Any help would be great. I am just not sure which steps to take in which orders and also which apps are required to do what I would like to do.
PS: any idea if these A5's are able to get Swype?
Sorry so long. Thanks again for any and all help guys!
Thanks for this thread ...
I am still unrooted due to the fact that we have no easy way to revert back to stock ( revert to stock for dummies ) ... and the locked bootloader.
this is due to Acer making too many different versions of Build# and Kernel # for various countries of the world ...etc
Why can't we just have 2 versions like the Asus TF do ?? 1 for US region and 1 for WW region... sheesh !!
Could you please add a link to an easy way to restore to stock ( once that becomes available ? )

You have to mount the file system as rw... If you are using EStrong File explorer for example, you have to give it ROOT access before it can write to your /system files. Go to the settings and scroll down to the root portion. enable that... then go to the folder where you have the file you want to delete... and... delete it...
BE CAREFUL DELETING THINGS FROM YOUR /SYSTEM/APP FOLDER AS THIS HAS BEEN KNOWN TO BRICK THE DEVICE... Good hunting! jejeje

Do we have a moderator?????????????
This seems very odd
Hi,
I have looked but not been able to find one specific for the Vega.
Is there any where that explains all of the accronyms that every one uses and what is best for the tablet?
I have the vega completly stock... I keep reading about rooting and ROM's this and ROMs that... is thre some where that explains what all of this means so I can figure out what I can do with mine and how to do it?
Sorry if this is a silly Q... im learning... well trying to.
Hi there and welcome to xda developers.
There is all the info you need here on this site. You just need to spend some time reading. If you have a completely stock vega, we need to change that. I would recommend starting with my rom-add on. It is just that, it adds the google parts. Have a play with that to get you started. It does not require any additional software to install, so its great for beginners.
As for rooting, this is to gain access to the protected android system. This is used by some applications such as button Saviour (a must for the vega) There is a full guide and my rom add-on here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=931337
After that have a read up on clockwork mod. This is a recovery/flash app that is used to flash custom roms on the vega.
After you are all happy with that try out some of the great ROMS from corvus and Zebwen.
If you have ant specific questions feel free to fire them at me, i will help out best i can. Just remember the "search button is your friend"
Good Luck
O_G
Thank you mate, that has helped a lot.
Hey guys,
can you say me if there will be custom roms for this tablet in the future?
would be very nice, cause i love flashing all my devices
I would like to know too. Lenovo has crippled this version of Android.

They absolutely have. I was able to "semi-root" with framaroot, so thankfully su is added BUT I still can't uninstall bloatware...although there isn't much it still bugs me. full root and ROM still needed.
Custom ROM for S6000 would be very nice. Searching for it every day.
KitKat
Hopefully someone will add a KitKat ROM when possible, don't see lenovo upgrading us to it when it becomes available. Don't think the tablet is popular enough unfortunately though.
Just use titanium back up to remove bloat.... Work great for me
Sent from my IdeaTab S6000-F using xda app-developers app
Yea, I wish there was a custom ROM too. I just got my S6000-H yesterday, rooted it right away and used TiBu to remove some of the bloatware (I froze some more that I wasn't sure of). But it's missing simple things I'm used to from my N7000, like the advanced options in the shutdown menu.
I read in another thread that we do have a type of recovery built in - could someone tell me where to find it?
Never mind, found it ... and finally installed CWM today too. Now all I need is a nice custom ROM, but it doesn't look like any devs have that tablet
Use xposed to add modules. .. reboot, multi Window, floating, etc...etc... my S6000 tab works great. .. Still not good as my note 3 but...almost! My wife is jealous of all my tab can do... She think it stock that way. .. And her weird little Ellipses 7 Verizon gave hercan't do half of it. ... Guess I'll have to pimp her tab up for her! ! Look up x posed installer on xda, or Google it, then just follow where it leads. ... Easy

Thanks for that tip ... I just installed xposed and 3 modules, going to have a look through that huge list these days to see if I find more.
I installed the one to show the temperature in the status bar, the advanced reboot one and the one that shows RAM used/free in the task switcher. Pretty neat so far - if you know of any other "must-have" modules feel free to let me know
And sorry criszz, but no idea if that'll work on your tablet too

Thanks for that update!
I won't hold my breath for anything official seeing as Lenovo didn't even bump up to 4.3,
and zero ROMS out there? Or am I rubbish at searching?
I read in an other Forum that there is no Custom ROM yet because Mediatek isn't releasing Source Code of their ROMs. After Browsing Lenovo Site of the S6000 I have found this:
mobilesupport.lenovo.com/us/en/products/s6000_tablet?tabname=manuals
You get linked to Manuals, click on Downloads section and then there is:
Open Source Code - S6000 Tablet 10/12/2013 - 320MB
Don't know if it's the right thing, just wanted to mention it here.
And other News on KitKat:
news.softpedia.com/news/Android-4-4-KitKat-Update-for-Lenovo-Yoga-8-Inch-and-10-Inch-Tablets-Coming-in-June-438474.shtml
It's getting closer now, first 4.4 mediatek tablet ( lenovo yoga ) get's update in June. Let's hope for a compatible version / port for the S6000.
In am wondering if the Updates for the Yoga Tablets are compatible with the S6000, cause they use same processor and overall same specs.
Greetings JanDr0id
ps: i erased the httttttp in front of the links cause its my 1st post and xda isnt allowing me to post links yet.
I saw that mediatek released their source for kitkat. All the parts are there. Just need a Dev with one of these to assemble it.

BRACE YOURSELVES,LONG POST COMING!!
So,this phone is my very first one since 2013,and because i LOVE to tinker every software(even on pc) i decided to tinker my very first smartphone to the best performance possible !
I Learned a lot about this phone and 2 years later i decided to help others reach this point of optimization for this phone..
MY choice for android version for this phone is Jellybean(4.3) and i can explain why.
I choose this version because we want to operate our phone without A-N-Y bugs or FC's...
I choose this version because we want to get the best out of our camera....
i chose this version because I think(please dont sent hate posts) its the lightest software WHILE maintaning stability :fingers-crossed:
Well lets get started then!!
ROM:The best jellybean rom in terms of performance PLUS stability (my personal opinion again) is Just archi'shttp://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...m-justarchis-sammy-stock-deodex-root-t2855613, (IMHO The best developer for this phone ).
this rom use very little resources and it is as close to stock as possible with the basics (in terms of flexibility) baked in :good:
Also we all hate to admit that Sammy stock ROM is the most optimized because their sources is closed (so in sammies 4.4.2 -4.4.4 that developers port is laggy after some long term use so we cant blame them).
KERNEL: I chose this kernel because WHILE having enough stability,it delivers MASSIVE performance boost-And this is Boeffla's in synergy with zanezam's boeffla kernel with uber toolchain http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/kernel-boeffla-kernel-linaro-zzmoove-t2629184 http://boeffla.df-kunde.de/zanezam/linaro/i9300/samsung/jb43/stable/. THUMBS UP TO THESE DEVELOPERS :good: !!!
OPTIMIZATIONS: I'D like to share my boeffla kernel profile.this profile is aimed just a bit to performance while having good Sot's (4 hours+)...
Use Greenify!!! Its the best app available capable of hibernate you apps of CHOICE,freeing RAM to make the device snappy
i'd recomment to use it with XPOSED as you have more options to hibernate even system apps! :good:
ADBLOCK: use Adaway.It saves you from these ads that not only they are irritating,but you save a LOT of cpy cycles,which means cooler phone,still snappy while browsing etc.
Xposed modules:the only frustration about this rom for me is that it has no advanced reboot.. But its obvious because rom is as close to stock as possible). so if you want this you must install APM+ module found in download section inside xposed installer or by this link: http://repo.xposed.info/module/hk.kennethso168.xposed.apmplus.
SOUND:After a lot of scripts and mods about sound in our phone,i decided to settle to [/FONT]V4A app and their drivers because it has INSANE volume boost WHILE maintaining quality :good: .
music application of choice is "Music" by SONY because i find it to work best with V4A. just move the apk to system app to work.normal install dont work!
SYSTEM APPS REMOVAL: I removed those system apps,freeing a good chunk of storage AND RAM, WHILE maintaining stability and no FC'S or bugs or anything.
there is the following:
ChocoEUKor
RoseEUKor
SNS
PanningtryActually.apk
Best face
My Files
Adapt sound(needed to install V4A)
Capability manager service
simcardpermission
CoolEUkor
DirectConnectManager
Direct ShareManager
DroidSerifitalic
Enterprise permissions
Multimedia ui service layer
Page buddy noti svc
Remote controls
Samsung link connectivity
SyncmlDS
daydreams
Live wallpaper support
contacts sync Google
Nfc
Internet(stock browser,replace w ith chrome)
Music FX
vpn dialogs
deep sea
voice record
FWDupgrade
music sto ck app
Cloud agent
bcservice
enterprise sim pinservice
Flashbar service
syscope service
vpn services
factory mode
factory mode
factory test
ims framework
indiservicemanager
MDMApp
OMACP
pickup tutorial
ultracfg
And with all that, i achieved very little Ram consumption and less Cpu cycles :good:
I hope you find this useful!
see attachments for my RAM usage without pressing clear all, and boeffla kernel profile of my own.give it a try!
sorry for long post!
cheers!

Thanks for this, just what I needed, I just got this phone.. upgraded from galaxy s1 =) .. looking for a close to stock experience with some adds, without any bugs, ( on s1 we had "SauROM" ) .. I hope theres something similar for this device. Maybe ill try archis , is there any other alternatives?

well, I must say that you should use the rom in the link first to see if you like sammy stock but a bit modded.there are many roms but ported Roms e.g Blekotas roms are indeed beautiful BUT due time eventually it starts to lag, which is not developers fault, its just a port.

I have a issue, When I tried to install the zip, my CWM has no options to do so. All I have done so far is install CF-root. Do I need to install a recovery separately? how and what recovery should I install? Should I get boeffla kernel first?
And is there anything I should be worried about, do I need to update bootloader or anything like that. my current version is: i9300XXUGNA5 , with CF root.
Just flash TWRP not cwm its not compatible

Go to playstore and install supersu, it will say that root binary must be updated.it will ask you to reboot if it is successful. Then go to playstorw again and install twrp manager.and install twrp.it should be quick!

Uber 600 is a toolchain and it should be the best kernel for this phone because its faster than other toolchains, but is just a tad less stable.it worth flashing though!!

I keep getting software update notifications, but I have installed a newer firmware (archis) than what I think the phone want to download (the latest version for my region, sweden is older than archis firmware in his thread).
going into settings I do not really see a option to disable to search for these updates.
Do you also get this?
You need to edit this post, you should not be advertising warez ...
The developer of the app in question is also a member of these forums and I wouldn't like him seeing other members pointing to his software being cracked...

From my experience some things are connected to other ... and uninstalling things I think are not important might not be a good idea!
Has anyone made a "safe to remove" list? (assuming "normal usage" and not needing obscure features)
Because qkx suggested the removal of the bloatware, I want to share the experiences I made with removing bloatware:
I can say that removing all those "S-Apps" (e. g. S-Health and so on) will work fine - at least it worked completely fine for me. You might get some error messages popping up after you uninstalled bloatware apps, telling you that this and that stopped, but tap on "OK" once and they won't appear again most likely.
But I defenitely won't recommend removing Google apps like Google Books etc. After I did so, my phone started to get laggy and unresponsive.

Welcome to XDA, the search function works wonders. Here is a link to one, it has a list and a flashable script(s) http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/themes-apps/cwm-bloatware-removal-script-t3067501 . In my experience it is better to take the list then open the ROM that you want to flash and manually delete the files (most bloatware is in system/app and priv-app) that you don't want. After removing the files close the ROM and flash. This way you have a lightrom with only what you want. The list is only a guide, you may choose to keep features that the script creator did not want. There are more results in the search function you may want to read on the other results.

The list with the script are provided as a guideline. The creator makes it for his own use and kindly shares it. No one can make a script that suits your exact needs but you. Most of samsung bloatware is the same from 5.xx LP to 6.xx MM. Most ROMs are custom and some have been lighten pretty good even when they include S7/S8/N5/N8 features or apps. It will be up to you to get knowledgeable on what you don't need and remove it manually. Again if they are on the list of the scripts it is almost 100% it will not break anything. But as always make sure you have a backup of your ROM/files before you do anything with system files as a caution.GL
