Notice to experts:

If you are currently using either of build versions S105 or S106, kindly please compile an express port similar to the ones above. Alternatively, you can message me then I will be requesting a copy of some files required to compile an express port. These build versions receive no support from the developers community and this could really help people who are using these build versions who are not able to move to other versions.

How to Flash Stock Rom in your Lenovo A369i

Video tutorial: WATCH

This is a tutorial on how to install stock ROM using SP Flash tool. It can be used to fix your device usually when the phone won't boot properly or when you want to upgrade/downgrade your firmware. SP Flash tool is a PC software that can restore all partitions in your Android device like recovery, boot, system and such. Another good thing about it is that you can you restore even a bricked (won't turn on at all) device. I will, however, give no guarantee as this is just based on my own experience. Before doing tutorial I would also like to tell you that I will not be responsible if anything bad happens to your Android device through this guide. :)

Firmware download links

Here are the download links for the firmware versions of Lenovo A369i. SP Flash Tool and the drivers comes with each of them but if you like to download them without the firmware, I have also provided a download link for both.

Alternative version for SP Flash Tool, you don't need this if the the flash tool bundled in the firmware is working fine.

SP Flash Tool v5.1352

Before we use SP Flash tool, we must first install the drivers for it to detect your device.

Installing drivers

1. Launch Device Manager on your PC. You can do this by typing "device manager" on your PC's search textbox or in Control Panel→Hardware and Sound→Device and Printers then click Device Manager.

2. In Device Manager, add a legacy hardware. Do this by clicking Action then Add legacy hardware or right-clicking the -PC then click Add legacy hardware there. Add Hardware Wizard will pop up, click Next.

3. Choose "Install the hardware that I manually select from a list (Advanced)" then click Next. Wizard will ask you what the category of hardware you will install, make sure Show All Devices is selected then click Next.

4. Wizard will now ask you to select the manufacturer and model of your hardware device. Click Have Disk, then click Browse. Select usb2ser_Win764.inf from the files you have downloaded then click Open. Click OK, the select MediaTek DA USB VCOM Port.

5. Click Next, then Next again to start installing the drivers. Once finished, click Finish.

6. You know have to repeat steps 2 to 3 but you have install MediaTek PreLoader USB VCOM Port instead of MediaTek DA VCOM Port.

Flashing through SP Flash tool

1. Run Flash_tool.exe then in Download tab, click Scatter loading. Windows will ask you to select the scatter file. Select the MT6572_Android_scatter.txt which will be on the folder where files like boot.img and system.img are stored. Click open and wait for scatter file to finish loading (older versions of SP Flash tool do not load the scatter file).

2. Click Download and wait for the partitions to finish loading. Once their finished, turn off your device and remove battery. Connect the device to the PC and SP Flash tool should start installing. Wait for SP Flash tool to finish installing.

3. Once SP Flash tool is done flashing, a green circle or a green check mark should appear. If they come in a different color, you will have to repeat the flashing process. You can now disconnect your device and put the battery.

4. Turn on your device. First boot usually lasts 5 minutes or greater.

5. Once your device finishes booting, flashing process is successful. You can now use your device.

Tired of Using the normal emoji? Well here's how to uncover the cool ones hiding on your iPhone

Photo Crd: Shutterstock

Emoji are generally fun to use being as they convey a message through visual representation and it's why memes and gifs are such a big hit nowadays.

Whatsapp has this new gif thing it does that is pretty cool, but Apple also have their own weapon to get ahead of the queue. The company is rushing to be the first major smartphone maker to support Unicode 9.0. 

Also with the upcoming release of iOS 10.2, Apple will add more than 70 new emoji to iPhones and iPads around the world. Included among them are some hotly anticipated additions such as the face palm, shrug, selfie, lying face, clown, dancing man and plenty more. 

What the iPhone has is a secret keyboard that’s already on your phone, and it lets you send all sorts of fun text-based emoticons. They're called kaomoji.

or you know...these guys...  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Enabling the hidden kaomoji keyboard in your iPhone really couldn’t be easier. In fact, you already went through all the steps the first time you enabled the emoji keyboard all those years ago. Here’s how it works:

• Open the Settings app
• Tap General
• Scroll down and tap Keyboard
• Tap Keyboards at the top of the screen
• Now select Add New Keyboard…
• From the list of languages, choose Japanese and then Kana

That’s it. Now you can access the new emoticon keyboard the same way you switch from Apple’s standard text keyboard to the emoji keyboard. Just select the Kana keyboard and press the ^_^ button in the bottom row to access all the kaomoji. 

So if you want to switch it up when chatting and commenting, you have something to help with that now.

Why Motorola might be giving up on Smartwatches

Motorola might be giving up on the idea of making smartwatches as it seems we might never see a successor to the 2015 Moto 360. 

Lenovo, who are Motorola's parent company have said that they will not be working on a new smartwatch to be released in time for Android Wear 2's launch next year according to The Verge. 

The company's head of global product development Shakil Barkat is of the opinion that smartwatches just don't do well enough in the market and it would not be justifiable to develop a new smartwatch at this point in time.

Based on Barkat's statements, smartwatches and other wearable devices aren't doing too well and haven't been able to attract enough audience to make a regular refresh viable.  

Barkat did say though that Moto believes that the "wrist still has value," which means that we can never say never, but in the interim it's definitely not going to happen.

So if you're a fan of their earlier smartwatches or you own one, cherish it, it might be the last produced.
