ICS on K1... Lenovo Launch Zone APK???

I really miss the Lenovo Launch Zone which we don't have on the ICS update. I've stumbled across at least one other person who was interested in an APK file for this widget as well, but being a noob I'm not too good at performing the necessary tasks to accomplish this. The 2nd link describes the necessary steps. Is anyone able to decipher this and find the correct APK for the Lenovo Launch Zone widget??? Would be a huge help!

I have done all the work described and created a standard zip file with ALL the apps. I do not know the name of the app you want. Download the zip. Put it on your external sdcard (however you chose). Sideload the app/apps you want. Hope this helps.

  • Launch Zone will not save settings after powering off/on

    Ok...noob here, but i just changed Zone 3: Read of the Launcher from Kindle to Zinio, but when I power off the unit (not put it to sleep) and turn it back on, Zone 3 of the launcher reverts back the Kindle app.  Anyone have this happen?  Am  I missing a setting some place?
    **FOLLOW UP**
    Got off the phone with Lenovo support, their K1 does not revert back to the factory settings when they change one of the "zones" in the Launch Zone application.  We even did a factory reset, made changes, turned off the K1, turned it back on and it still would not keep my changes.  Their only recommendation is to take it back to Best Buy (where I bought it and see if some there can re-install the Launch Zone application as it apparently has a bug.  So unles someone else has any ideas, looks like I am out of luck and have to return this puppy.

    Since I have 801, I guess that is why my tablet did not get an update out of the box when I went to go update it?  I saw people updating to 829, so I was perplexed why I could not get 829 when I was on 801, and naturally 801 being a lesser version number than 829 I was confused.  Anyhow, do you have an ETA when the LLW fix will be in (in a week?) and can I simply get it OTA?
    Thanks!
    I can't give a release date in case we find something last minute and end up with a delay.  I wouldn't be surprised to see it sometime next week, but I can't promise that will happen.  Once it's released, you'll be able to get it via OTA.
    As for the update to 0829, I imaged one of my tablets with the 0801_US manufacturing image and was able to update to 0829 without any issue.  Can you give it another shot?  When you do "check for new version" under System Updates, you will only get a message immediately if it doesn't find an update.  If an update is found, the download will begin immediately, indicated by a little down arrow by the clock.  You'll only be prompted to apply the update (or cancel) once the download is complete.  It won't fix the LLW persistence issue (I tested that again, just for fun), but it will get you to a more stable image.
    If you don't mind, give that a go and please let me know what happens.

    Hi there,
    Just want to share what I've found
    There is an update of lenovo launcher that can be found in here http://launcher.lenovo.com/launcher/portal.php
    But there are problems
    It is not good for persons who don't understand Chinese like me
    The site is in Chinese (I used Google translate to understand them so i can download it)
    Some of its parts, features and suggested apps are in Chinese
    Clover doesn't use Google Play. It uses different app that is written in Chinese
    What i like is there are several new features like
    Auto folders
    It is more responsive than before
    Uses more lower RAM
    In the weather settings, increasing weather city to county

  • Recover to Lenovo Android 3.2 for K1 Tablet

    Reinstalling Android 3.2 on an IdeaPad K1 Tablet
    This article contains instructions in the attached PDF, which can be used along with the code available in the included download link to re-image your K1 with the latest Lenovo provided Android 3.2 release including the Lenovo launcher and all pre-installed applications.
    This may be useful for customers who have tried the Lenovo Vanilla ICS 4.03 release, custom roms from the developer community, or to recover a K1 that is stuck in a loop boot situation in which the nVidia logo is displayed repeatedly without ever entering the Android OS.
    Please note that this proceedure will completely wipe the K1, and all data, including user installed data and applications will be erased.
    Please download and review the attached PDF and familiarize yourself with the APX mode, installation of the driver (if you have not done so previously), and the imaging process.   Use of a PC running Windows 7 is recommended.
    Once you are familiar with the instructions, download the 3.2 Honeycomb package here and follow the instructions to complete the re-imaging process.

    hey, i installed the ICS stock rom as mentioned in one of your posts and its working.. but i'm not satisfied with that.. i need to go back to Honeycomb.. I have the stock rom downloaded but when i try to run the "flash.bat" or any of the other .bat file, i get the error message "USB device not found".. and the command window exits in a fraction of a second. I don't know how to fix this..  I tried in two systems one on my laptop running Windows 7 Ultimate and on my Desktop running Windows 8.1 Enterprise edition.. It did not work on both... Please help me.. 

  • How can I correct time zone information

    Yesterday  Europe/Moscow zone was changet from  GMT+4 to GMT+3
    I've managed to adjust ical4j.jar library replacing Moscow.ics by this very simple zone file

    After init-config for both davserver and Convergence this jar file is deployed and I see It into
    /opt/glassfish3/glassfish/domains/domain1/applications/davserver/WEB-INF/lib/
    directory.
    Moreover I found modified zoneinfo file into
    opt/glassfish3/glassfish/domains/domain1/generated/jsp/davserver/loader_27469283/zoneinfo/Europe/Moscow.ics
    I see in the Convegence Options Time Zone Europe Moscow GMT+0300
    So far so good.
    Bad news when I export calendar via Convergence calendar interface  I see in  the head of ICS file the following time zone information

    BEGIN:VEVENT
    The offset +0400 is absolutely wrong!
    Since I see in convergence all events shifted by one hour back respect to lightning data.
    I found a lot of information about how to add time zone alias, but have no info about correction existing time zone.
    Any comments are welcome.
    Thank you, Monk.
    P.S.
    Operating system time zone information is right.
    Java time zone is updated too.

    Yes I know about time zone information into VEVENT Object.
    Can You provide me URL where I can download plugin you are talking about?
    Plugin can be for Firefox or Chrome.
    Till now I can only use export calendar button of Convergence Calendar interface.
    Here you can find two event
    th-17 and th-19 created by Lightning
    th-17 - started 17-00
    th-19 - started 19-00
    According to the Convergence them start at 16-00 and 18-00 respectively.
    By the way .Lightning show them correct but fire alarm one hour earlier.
    15-45
    17-45
    Seams that Lightning took wrong time zone information from the server with +4 offset.

  • Lenovo K900 review with problems...! Please help...!

    Hi guys.. I am Chethan
    History:-
    I used to have a Samsung galaxy note1(gt n7000) for about 18 Months
    A good phone but a sluggish one.. Especially with the android 4.1.2..
    So it was time for an upgrade...
    I dint find a elegant phone than the LENOVO K900 in the 5+" segment.. note3 feels a little dull in front OF K900(MY OPINION)
    At last got the k900
    THE USER INTERFACE(Lenovo launcher)
    minor comparison to the touchWIZ(NOTE1)
    CONS
    it was hard.. But fast
    lot of options missed out..(clammed to be heavily customized my lenovo.. but why..?)
    very few widgets.. Difficult to add them too.. :-(
    no widget for FM Radio
    NO task manager
    no clipboard and swipe option in the keyboard..
    cudn't change system font.
    Limitation on number of widgets per page
    only 1 theam and dint let me add any...
    About 9.5GB out of 16GB for the user is less but manageable.. (come on its not a PC)
    Battery is a little weird.. It not consistent.. may be an issue with the program
    PROS
    Display is awesome
    Lock screen is better(I liked it)
    2GB of ram a delight for multitasking.. i don't know about high end games as i m not interested
    Page transition Effects(lot of them) can be changed which looks gr8..
    Camera is grate (but 13MP cam heats up and doesn't auto focus after 50 continuous shots)
    the front facing is also decent for a video chat
    Music through earphones and the phone speaker is good
    web pages lodes faster even with multiple tabs open..
    an app called lenovo power.. a very good one theoretically..! but doesn't really atand up to what it shows..
    Issues i could fix (i am a mechanical engineer not a software guy.. but managed a little by digging around)
    1.  TEXTING(very important stuff)
    -swipe option from touchpal X(an app)
    2. User interface(Partly fixed for my requirement)
    -Nova launcher(its highly customizable)
    it let me change and customize my user interface..
    ISSUES I HAVE FOR WHICH I NEED HELP
    1. the region around the camera(13mp shouter) heats with a continuous use for about 5min.. and keeps on increasing further.... it affects the camera.. I.e.., the camera's auto focus looses focus(by this time the surrounding region is very hot to hold)..
    2. the battery is not consistent..
    3.there is no power saving mode to reduce the power consumption when idel.. 
    Is there a way to underclock the processor to reduce power consumtion without rooting..?

    Am into the 4th month of using K900.
    Further to the battery problems that everyone is talking of there is a process that needs to be followed with this phone.
    Plus contrary to popular beleif, there IS a difference between lithium-ion & lithium-polymer batteries. Marry it to a power intensive Intel processor along with 2GB of RAM & you have yourself a battery guzzler.
    Steps to improve battery life
    1. Firstlly, the 5.2v charger provided with your K900 better be your best friend. I messed my battery up for a week by using my wife's Samsung Galaxy S4 charger (5.1v charger - close enough, right? WRONG!!!). Battery began portraying commonly mentioned issues of complete battery drain within 7 - 10 hours, phone switching off @ 15% battery indication & after a few more (incorrect) charging @ 22%, etc.
    2. Treat this phone like a laptop. Laptop batteries need priming. The better you prime, the more you would be increasing the battery life (Both for per charge & number of successful charges). So what is priming? Simply follow diligently the instructions that the "Lenovo Power" app mentions under the "Charging" tab. Please ensure 100% charging at every charging cycle as much as you can (However, 100% charging on every alternate charging cycle is a MUST). FYI, Quick Charge feature is useless. It'll only cause dissonance. Also, let the battery discharge to 15% or so & then charge it back to 100%. Furthermore, it would be beneficial for the battery if you would leave the phone connected to the charger upto 0.5 - 1.0 hour after reaching the 100% mark.
    3. Some apps will EAT THROUGH your battery & heat the hell out of your phone if used continuously for long durations such as Candy Crush, CSR Racing, Fruit Ninja, etc. So don't blame the phone or battery, it's just the way the app is built.
    4. This is a 1080p 5.5-inch super LCD screen. It will consume battery & significant amounts of it too. Also, your Accelerometer, GPS, etc. sensors also consume a lot of battery. So the next time you have your "Auto Rotate" feature on, it will consume your battery 15% - 20% faster than when it is disabled.
    However, there are some glaring troubles that Lenovo seems to be facing with product development. Straight-up, the 16GB non-expandable internal storage is a gross mistake. Fine, so you came up with a 32GB version too in late November. Where is this replacement option for existing users of the 16GB version? I don't want to use the cluncky OTG feature!!
    The battery capacity is definitely lower than what it should have been. Lithium-Polymers cannot hold charge for extended periods of time, however are great for operating in widely varying temperatures and for the flexible form-factors. My 1 day old Lenovo P780 (for Work) has a 4,000 mAh Lithium-Polymer battery with a smaller & lower resolution screen, obviously it will last 3 days with heavy usage. Did you guys mean to place THIS battery in the K900 originally & realized that the product design would not be ready for the mass marketing in time, at your newly acquired Lithium-Polymer battery supplier? Lenovo.....I seriously would not have minded a slightly thicker K900 with more battery say 3,500 mAh or even 4,000 mAh.
    Plus, the latter versions of my second phone (i.e. the 8GB version of P780) have a lot of things ironed out in the Android 4.2.1 version that it is running. Would you beleive it, the phone actually offers me a bunch of themes to choose from, Auto Rotate feature for a few native apps too, interface problems have been dissipated, plus there is BATTERY CALIBRATION option in it (How cool !!).
    Lenovo really really needs to give us everything that they have developed for their latest phones in their flagship K900. Dell makes Intel phones, so does Asus & now Acer has also ventured into it. Everyone faces issues because of the seamless integration of software & the alien Intel hardware required, but not available (& therefore needs to be developed, tested, tested & tested by these computer giants). You guys have the infrastructure & ppl to do it!! So do it!! Blue Ocean Strategy ppl......c'mon !!!
    Also, Lenovo needs to do some buyer research. Most of the loyal users of K900 (Worldwide) are previous Intel processor users (Phonewise). We Intel-users have a habit of keeping these phones for a good 2 - 3 years. With this kind of a battery & the tedious process of taking care of it, my dreams of long & solid use have gone POOF!! But you still have to make good the money you have spent on this phone, right? So therefore Im trying to look at the positives..............MOSTLY!!
    I personally don't care about upgraded OS version numbers. I don't mind everyone running the 4.4 Kit Kat, while I'm still running the MOST STABLE & the FASTEST available version of 4.2.1 in the entire market.
    Last words........Lenovo......A sincere request.......Please give me something I can be proud of.......Usage-wise & not just Looks-wise.
    Thanks & Regards,
    A Concerned Loyalist

  • K1 - AOSP ICS - Bug List

    Here is the list of "bugs" I have found with the AOSP ICS rooted version.  They are all minor issues, and the upgrade to ICS is still well worth it.
    - Screen lock switch does not work, but software lock does
    - the setting/notification screen is missing a few things  (no toggle button for wifi, nothing for bluetooth)  Obviously, you can just hit the settings button and go one screen deeper for these options
    - under Wi-Fi then advanced settings:  if I try to change my settings on "keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" to anything other than "always" - the tablet will not wake up from a "sleep".  Requires a forced reboot to awaken it.
    - Auto brightness does not work (it did work on the first rooted ICS release from Lenovo/Khanning)
    - home button functionality was fixed with the zip file from Khanning
    - no 3G support
    - Alarm clock app pops up when plugging in a USB drive with the host cable.
    IMO, these are all minor issues.  Being able to simply add updates via CWM and zip files is awesome.

    Poor market compatibility....

    Missing Lenovo Third party apps...
    ...I've got the original Thirdpartyapps.zip, it was CWM flashable with HC (not sure if it'll play nice with ICS).  I've thought about flashing it to get back Angry Birds HD and D2G but I don't want the Lenovo toolbar back.

  • Lenovo S650 - default (factory) desktop view

    Hello everybody. Happy New Year! My calendar and power panels disappeared today. It still works fine.
    I tried to return default view of "calendar+power panels on 1 desktop" but can put only one of it, smartphone reports that row is full. So, do you have any idea ho to do this? Maybe it's possible to remove row at the bottom of the screen? But as I see it always active in any desctop and can't be removed (there are Contacts, Photo etc.)

    Ok...If the same widgets(exact same calendar widget,there's more then one) had space before my guess is that something happened with the Lenovo Launcher.
    First try this: go to Settings>Apps>All>find the Lenovo Launcher and ''Force stop'' it.A phone restart should have the same result.
    If that dosen't work and you are willing to rearrange the desktop screens all over again(App icons/folders &widgets) you can go to Settings>Apps>All> find the Lenovo Launcher and ''Clear data/cache''.
    Isn't a factory reset(you won't lose any of your currently installed apps and data).....just a launcher reset.
    Let me know how it goes.
