Hi,
I've got a strange problem: i've tried to install severla Sense ROMs (sensevolution, revolution 4.0, now RunnymedeMod007) and each time phone crashes. It's going perfectly fine until i type PIN code. Than in some cases ROM works, until i press off button. While i want to wake phone again, there's nothing on the screen, except wallpaper. No upper bar, no menu bar. And the fone freezes - every time i have to take the battery off. what might it be? I've changed the radio, but nothing changed.

Depending on what recovery you use, the options might change. But:
Mounts & Storage
> format boot
> format system
> format data
> format cache
Advanced
> Wipe dalvic cache
Flash ROM again.
Worked perfectly, thanks a lot!

ROM EviLocity 1.0 Android 2.2 Rabid ROM ----- Elocity A7+ ONLY!!!!!!!!!!!!
Main features:
- Fully rooted with proper edit to boot.img for ro.secure+0 in the default.prop
- Based on last official 3.0022 firmware ( All A7+ no old A7 components).
- Edited proper default prop to 0,1,1,1 instead of 1,0,0,0
- Removed bloat apps
- Added EStrong Suite - Task, Security, and File Manager, and Rootexplorer.
- WiFi tweaks.
- Build.prop edits for performance, ram consumption (360MB free, varies).
- 1% Battery MOD
- Some graphics and font changes
- Duplicated libraries deleted.
- Some build.prop tweaks to improve performance, wifi responsiveness, and better ram consumption, etc
- Use UOT screen transitions
- New boot animation. "Zombies" ( unfortunately the system boots so fast now, you only get to see the whole thing the first boot. LOL)
- As far a testing goes everything works
Issues - None it did not have already(so far). Still has the SOD (sleep of death) issue. I have found that utilities that can set WiFi to "sleep never" help and I used Overclock widget to set the minimum power to 500MHZ. The system by default drops to about 150-200MHZ and when it drops that low it seems to hang. I have also found having something plugged into the USB can be removed and replaced quickly and the remount causes it to let you take it out of sleep. Perhaps other overclock tool can do the same and work better?
Download EviLocityV1.0
When installing an 8GB or smaller microsd works well.
Install Instructions:
This runs like a normal update so you should still have your apps, but the following is the best way to flash this ROM. Either way backup your files before using.
If by using this mod the world comes to and end, or you are suddenly sucked back in time only to accidentally kill your grandfather leaving your future uncertain, I take no responsibility for the consequences. Oh yeah. same thing if it screws up your tablet.
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. REMEMBER TO BACKUP ANY THING YOU WANT SAVE BEFORE FOLLOWING THESE INSTRUCTIONS. THIS WILL WIPE YOUR TABLET TO A CLEAN FACTORY-ISH STATE.
I have not tried using the built in update process in the system settings, feel free to give it a shot first, but this is the best way in MHO. Always have at least 50% battery but better still be plugged into power.
1. Copy the the update.zip file to a microsd either directly on your PC or through USB to the tablet external drive. In this case /sdcard/sdcard-disk0. Make sure it is the only update file on the card.
NEVER INSTALL ANY UPDATE FROM THE INTERNAL STORAGE. If something should go wrong you could be stuck with that same image reloading every time you try to go into recovery and you may never have a way to remove or get past it.
2. With the tablet powered off power on by holding down power button for two seconds, then release and press again and hold until you see the message " Hold power for 5 sec...."
3. Release power after the message "booting recovery kernel".
4. Wait until the Android with the triangle and exclamation over it's head pops up.
5. Press the home button to bring up the recovery menu. Use back to move down, and menu to select
6. Scroll down and select Wipe data & cache, then select Yes delete all user data . The tablet will reboot, just press and hold power until you see the recovery loading message again.
7. When complete select Wipe cache partition and wait until complete.
8. Select Apply update from external sdcard.
9. Scroll to the update.zip file and select it.
10. Wait for it to complete then select Reboot system now when prompted. Device will go through a few screen changes just sit back and wait for the boot animation.
The first boot will be slow as it has to rebuild the cache.
Thank you for the custom rom, everything functions well. However, visually, it's atrocious.
thank you. can't wait to try this rom out. im getting my A7+ in 3 weeks.

The mic no longer works and when you have to enter a date, the dails always reset to 2014. Is this just me? Do you have any suggestions?

Sorry for not getting back sooner but the mic works for me. I will have to check, but my date is showing correct right now.
After having the UI crashes which resulted from the M6 upgrade I reinstalled to the previous nightly build which worked well on my device. Now I am having multiple problems with the status bar, notifications, home button and the power button menu.
1. Notifications do not show up in the notification bar. The notification sound plays, but the notifications do not show up in the pull down
2. The Quick Settings Panel no longer is accessible from the status bar
3. The additional Power Button menu settings for reboot options, profiles etc are lost and are not resettable via the settings. Only the default power button menu is available. I've seen a thread about another device that suggested taking a picture somehow restored the menu settings after an install which obviously isn't an option here.
4. The Home button is non-functional now. I tried a reset on the navigation buttons but that didn't restore them.
When I performed the reinstall, I did not do a full device wipe first, but I did do a cache wipe after the install. Can anyone provide any insight on how I can recover this functionality without having to perform a full device wipe and reinstall?
Never mind. Much more just was not functional at all so I ended up doing a full device wipe and reinstall and now I am reinstalling and reconfiguring everything. So far, all the issues I had before have been resolved after the device wipe.
I must say that the M6 update was a real disaster for me.
You are still on M6 or the older ROM ???
I flash this ROM M6 a week ago with full wipe..data,cache, dalvik, system .notice no problem on my part
Hey Everybody
I have troubles since i clicked a button in my status bar. I removed EVERYTHING from my home and lock screen (i cant even tell witch one i see). There are no Icons at all. only my desktop background is visible and working (animated bubbles). there is no button working except from power button (and its menu to restart). a friend of mine was able to get a screenshot with some button-combination (vol+ + home?)
first: i am not an expert with android, but have a lot of experience in working with Linux shells.
what i have done:
maybe it has something to do with it or not, i don’t know:
i enabled multi view / multi window or extended desktop (sorry i don’t know the name, and as there is nothing shown...)
i opened my status bar and there were some new icons (next to the small watch in the right corner), witch i haven’t seen so far and clicked it. than it opened a "new" screen with only my background.
as i thought it is maybe only a "dead" app i tried to restart my phone. but: there is only that screen working. no PIN question, or something.
i tried to reset dalvic and normal cache. -> no change.
i use RESURRECTION REMIX 5.7.3. on N7100
Recovery TWRP 3.0.2-0 is still working and
i hope somebody can help me to solve my problem without factory resetting. i wont reinstall everything.
thanks a lot
Are you able to restore a TWRP back up? You could try flashing the ROM again without wiping.
theoretically, yes, but i did not have on. so i cannot flash it.
i am searching for an commandline option to change the settings. but i have no clue where to search, and in what files the configuration lies...
Hi!
I've made a post in the Asus forum, with no luck and I found this page where you seem more technical :
Two days ago I downloaded the Android MM 6.0 update from the Asus Homepage downloading the version WW-4.21.40.144 , since I live in Brazil and the phone was bought here. I followed all the steps one by one till it got updated.
The problem is, since then my GPS is not working (Waze, Googlemaps ans several apps).
I tryed:
1. Giving all permissions of location to the apps
2. Puting the settings in High Accuracy
3. Restarting the phone several times.
4. Switch on and off Airplane mode and 2G 3G ands 4G (I read sometimes its interference from that)
5. Waiting almost an hour with the phone outside (sunny day) to see if it detects the satellites.
6. Every app inthe appstore that promise GPS Fixing (reseting, A-GPS and all kind of tests. Funny thing, the sensor IS working acording to those apps.
7. Factory Reset
8. Factory Reset and Erase Cache from the bootmenu. (as indicated in the Asus Forum)
9. Downgraded to Lolipop again. WW-52.20.40.196
10. Again every app to reset the GPS.
Nothing worked.
To my surprise, now I have Lolipop and no GPS. So back to basics but, worst.
The Asus forum told me to Update to the latest version, which I did:
1. Updated my phone with the latest MM version. 4.21.40.223.
2. Put the location options in "High Accuracy" and permissions needed for the apps.
3. As the old software was installed after that, I tried Waze. No GPS Signal was found.
4. Did a factory reset.
5. Put the location options in "High Accuracy" and permissions needed for the apps
6. Installed the apps GPS Toolbox and Waze again, the both can't find a GPS signal. I left the phone outside for 10 minutes.
7. Tried to install the version UL-Z00A-WW-2.20.40.198-user by bootloader, but it says it cannot update to an older version, which sounds about right. (I had to try)
What else can I do? I don't mind going back to Lolipop, but when I did GPS didn't work.
Is there any chance the new Update wrote something apart from software in the chipset that cannot be undone?
Help please, I really need the GPS!
Phone not rooted.
Thanks!
Juan
After long hours of searching, reading and trying I got it fix. How?
0. Have a full charged battery or have your phone plugged to the wall (except for the USB stuff on step number 2, obviously)
0.1. Make backups of all the info in the phone, because everything is going to be erased.
1. Download the version WW-52.20.40.196 from Asus website.(unless you need the other like CN, JK, etc, see Asus site to be sure)
2. Copy it to the internal storage of your phone in the root of it (not in any folder), via USB.
3. Get to the boot loader (Turn off phone and once is off, push the power button with the Up volume one until it vibrates 2 times. Release only the power button until the menu appears) - Search the forum for more details.
4. Select "Recovery Boot" with the volume buttons and press the power button to confirm.
The next steps are all in the Recovery Menu (once it finishes every step it goes back to the original menu, no alerts, sounds or nothing. So check every now and then)
5. Make a Wipe/factory reset, and wait, it takes some time. (use the volume buttons and press the power button to confirm)
6. Make a Wipe of the cache. (use the volume buttons and press the power button to confirm)
7. Install update from Internal storage selecting the name of file you copied on step number 2 (use the volume buttons and press the power button to confirm). It will take a while.
8. Reboot the system (use the volume buttons and press the power button to confirm)
It will restart with the phone in the Lolipop version and the GPS working fine. Even after the Lolipop updates.
Marshmallow update has a bug, that at least with my phone the GPS doesn't work. Tried reinstalling marshmallow latest version after the GPS got fix, just to prove the point, and in fact, it stopped working again.
Then I did all the steps above again and went back to normal again.
I STRONGLY RECOMMEND NOT TO UPDATE TO MARSHMALLOW WITH THE ACTUAL FIRMWARE VERSIONS AVAILABLE.
I also had this problem with Marshmallow ROM, as the GPS is not working in terms of unable to locate any signal from satellites.
However, I also solved the problem with a method sounds very silly.
I turn on my GPS overnight using an application called GPS Status.
The night I turn it on, it was locating 0 satellite (it will write 0/0 SAT). However in the morning, I found that the GPS is now working, locking on 8 out of 24 discovered satellite (it wrote 8/24 SAT).
Now my GPS is working seamlessly.
Thanks! I will try it next weekend. I need my phone this week. Hahaha
I ll post when I do so.
Do you know other similar cases of people who did that and worked?
The thing is, now I have Lollipop again an I noticed how slow the system is running with applications. I d love to have the update, but not sacrificing the GPS
I decided I won't make the test because it doesn't justify the risk and time.
I'll wait for a newer update or just stay with Lollipop.
Just to let you guys know in case someone was waiting for this
I downloaded GPS Status as suggested by SleepingAran and ran it once. Now my Waze is working seamlessly. Thanks!
There's another simple solution that works:
Follow exact steps:
1. Turn on location and set high accuracy mode
2. Open google maps
3. Move your phone several times in the shape of 8 (8-10 times should be enough)
4. Close google maps and clear it from recents screen
5. Start google maps again. Profit

Hello,
I have a weird problem with my phone. Few days ago I've drained my battery and swapped it to the fresh one. But after phone booted up everything is broken.
My wallpaper changed to the one i don't know, it even doesn't look like stock one (Screenshot 1).
Notifications doesn't show up. Probably because upper drawer doesn't work now as well (i can slide it down only once, to show me date. But can't slide it down further to change sound profile, wi-fi etc. Screenshot 2).
Home button doesn't work, square button (the one for switching between applications) doesn't work either.
Half of the settings got reset to factory, some of them stayed unchanged but doesn't work anymore. For example, I've had my lock screen protected by pin. It still shows in the settings that I've set pin code, but there is no actual pin lock when I'm locking my phone (Screenshot 3).
Developer options menu says that they "are not available for this user" (Screenshot 4).
Even my QuickCircle case doesn't work anymore.
I have F400L one with Fulmics ROM 7.6 (6.0 Android).
I've tried to dirty flash it (i was on Fulmics 7.5 before). But after flashing new version of ROM everything still the same.
I've tried to wipe Dalvik + Cache, no luck either.
I don't want to do a full wipe, it will be a huge pain it the ass to reinstall and reconfigure all of my apps. Especially ones like Google Authenticator.
Dear community, do you have any suggestions what happened and how i may fix it?
UPDATE:
Found same problem: https://plus.google.com/u/0/+PaulOBrien/posts/8EGNvpY9jQa
Solution is to type this command (through adb or terminal):
am start -n com.google.android.setupwizard/.SetupWizardTestActivity
At this moment, this command resolved probably all of issues occured.
