[ROM] Stock Jelly Bean, Rooted, Deodexed, Crapware Removed

[mcl630]

I've updated my ROM for the A2109 to Jelly Bean.

File: A2109A_MCL0201.zip
Link: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B1j...jRIcGUtbl81UGs
MD5: b979e686a5845f64a4e76d53724cbb70


Features:

• Based on Lenovo's stock Jelly Bean 4.1.1 ROM
• Rooted
• Deodexed (allows modding/theming)
• Zipaligned (for memory optimization)
• Busybox preinstalled
• Crapware removed: Accuweather, Documents to Go, Evernote, News Republic, Norton Security, ooVoo, Memo, Sugar Sync, Zinio, and Go Keyboard

Changelog:

Version 0201

• Updated to Jelly Bean, based on Lenovo's A2109A_A411_03_13_121126 firmware

Version 0103

• Updated with the changes in Lenovo's A2109A_A404_02_07_121018 firmware
• Updated to Busybox to 1.20.2

Version 0102

• Original release based on Lenovo's A2109A_A404_02_05_120918 firmware

Upgrading from MCL0102 or MCL0103

1. Reboot into ClockworkMod recovery (either with 'adb reboot recovery' or powering on and tapping Vol+ immediately)
2. Wipe the Dalvik Cache (under the Advanced options in CWM)
3. Install the zip with CWM
4. Reboot (you'll be running Jelly Bean)
5. After this first run in Jelly Bean, you'll need to update CWM to 4.0.1.9d (see Warning: The stock jelly bean update breaks clockworkmod recovery)

Installing if you're running the Stock ROM

I highly recommend backing up your apps and data with Titanium Backup beforehand as you'll need to do a factory reset to install. A Nandroid backup in ClockworkMod recovery would be a good idea too, if you want an easy way to get back to stock.

1. Make sure you have your bootloader unlocked and you have ClockworkMod recovery installed.
2. Download the ROM install zip from the above link and place either on your Internal SD Card or External SD Card.
3. Reboot into ClockworkMod recovery (either with 'adb reboot recovery' or by powering on and tapping Vol+ immediately)
4. In CWM, perform a 'wipe data/factory reset'
5. In CWM, choose 'install zip from sdcard'
6. Choose either 'choose zip from sdcard' or 'choose zip from external sd card' depending on where you placed the ROM zip.
7. Navigate to where you placed the zip file and select it. Choose 'Yes' when asked to confirm install.
8. When the install is finished, go back to CWM's main menu and choose 'reboot system now'.
9. The first boot up may take longer than usual, up to a few minutes... this is normal.
10. Go through the initial setup.
11. If you backup up your apps with Titanium Backup, grap Titanium Backup from the Play Store.
12. Restore your user apps and data with Titanium Backup (you can also restore data-only for IdeaDesktop, this will restore your desktop to the way you had it before), then reboot once more.
13. After it finishes rebooting, open Titanium Backup again... if it complains about the Android ID changing, choose to restore it (this may cause another reboot).
14. Enjoy!

Notes:

Don't try to install an OTA from Lenovo over this, it won't work. If/when Lenovo releases an update, I'll update the ROM accordingly.
Let me know here if you have any issues/questions/comments/requests.

These are only for my MCL0201 ROM!!! They will not work with any other ROM.

Big thanks to mcl, who worked through the night to get out clockworkmod and the ROM.

FYI: I started Titanium Backup without enabling ADB debugging. Even after setting that option, I got the same message. I had to reinstall TB in order to avoid that warning (and access my external sdcard).

You mean you got the message that need to enable ADB debugging, even after enabling it? If that's what you meant, using choosing 'Restart Application' in TB's setting menu will fix it.

Probably . I restarted the app by using Force Stop in Settings. Strange that that didn't work...

I've added a Circular 1% Battery Mod. See the 2nd post.

Aren't you trying to flash JB/4.1.1? Then you must be on 4.0.4. You have to use cwm .9c with 4.0.4, not .9d. So flash that version, then apply the 4.1.1 ROM update. Then when you are on 4.1.1, flash .9d.
