it have the FM radio app but isn´t working
problem with the file explorer and the sd card (installing other FX works)January 23, 2017 at 9:09 PM #11731Linux UserParticipantHi, thanks very much for the rom, I try out the version lineage-14.1-20170121-UNOFFICIAL-A6020 on my K5 A6020l37 and it works very well, only a few bugs I have found, such at the sound when the device starts that it leaves when reproducing a sound, the notification sound that sounds a little bit bad, like if they have some kind of rare noise on the beginin of it, also the notification LED don’t turn on when you recib a notification and finally the galery that doesn’t allow you to edit an image, othen than that, it’s a nice rom!
March 15, 2017 at 1:32 PM #15022Linux UserParticipantHello, i followed all the steps, but the phone refuses to boot now.
Normally (factory state), when you press the vol+/power to go to recovery menu, some kind of Lenovo menu appears. There are several buttons (MMItest,PCBA test, HW info,…) and one of them is “recovery”.
After i flashed the TWRP thru adb, everything was fine, Lenovo menu appeared, after pressing the recovery button it went to TWRP.Then i made the factory reset, flashed the Lineagerom zip and gapps zip.
After the reboot, phone shows Lenovo logo, than goes black screen (or maybe power off).
If i press vol+/power to go to recovery menu, nothing happens.
What am i doing wrong?I was able to boot into recovery again thru adb and restore the original rom from backup and tried all the steps again but the result is still the same.
Thanks for your help.March 16, 2017 at 1:21 PM #15090Linux UserParticipantI confirm the problems were caused by older version of TWRP. I flashed 3.1 version and latest build of Lineage and it boots OK after restart. Just the Lenovo boot menu is not accesible, when you press vol+/power, nothing happens. To get to recovery menu you have to press vol+/vol-/power.
