ROW means Rest of World. It comes with Google apps preinstalled. The latest one is 130726 which is android 4.0.4.

All JB ROMs are for China which means it will not have Google apps preinstalled. You can add Google apps on your own if you know how to do it. It involves rooting, then deleting some system apps to make space, installing a CWM recovery and then flashing gapps.

Or check out the k860 rom area on bbs.lephone.cc for prerooted roms with gapps that are available in szb format.

It's not clear whether this rom has the same bugs as cm or not. At least with google translate. Can someone help?

Install CM 10.1, start a file explorer (root explorer) -> System -> Back up and SCG_arm_hd.apk.

I'd hazard a guess that libraries needed for SuperCamera in 4.0.4 are not up to date for the 4.2.1 app. If you look at the /system folder you will find huge LeGa folder that goes with the app.

That's what I'm saying, he would need this folder with the app and then again it's a question of whether it would work at all.If Lenovo Store on his phone is not offering any update, there has to be some caveat.

The one i use just has one button for answering calls. I don't know which model is it. I got it from a local store. But i'm sure it's for Nokia phones.

    There are different custom ROM's & root methods for the K860 & K860i. Most of the root methods & ROM's are compatible with both the K860 and K860i. Read the full thread to be sure.
    I'll update this post regularly, if there are any changes needed please say so in the thread or PM me (still WIP for adding the latest stuff).
    Below you can find everything!

    - Root methods & stock ROM's + MOD's/fixes:

    There is an APK root method, linked below, or you can use the original not so easy root method:

    I did some research on how to root it.
    I found some steps on this Chinese website.

    What I understand from it is you have to do the following steps to root:

    - Set the phone to USB debugging in it's settings
    - Make sure drivers are installed and the phone is recognized well by the phone PC software
    - Close all the PC phone software applications
    - Make sure no other android or smart/USB-device is connected except for the phone itself
    - Download this file: root files, download link is also below in the attachment.
    - Unzip it and launch the .exe (executable file) with the Chinese characters (should be first .exe in directory)
    - The shell/CMD should start the root process
    - The phone will automatically restart, don't touch it or any button, don't interrupt the shell program!
    - Now after the reboot of the phone you should press any key on your keyboard when asked
    - The shell program should continue, the phone will restart again!
    - Again press any key to continue and wait for the shell program to reboot your phone for the third time (this can take some time, be patient!)
    - When rebooted the "Operation was successful" message should appear in the shell program
    - Now your K860 is rooted! Look for the root app in your phone to confirm. If rooting didn't work, try this process again
    - Also update the Superuser or superSU app & binaries

    USSD CODE Fix for Native Chinese JB ROMs

    Hi all, for all of you using Chinese native JB ROMs on your K860 or maybe also for K860i (I only have K860, thus can't do any testing), I have found a way to fix problem with USSD code not working. The solusion is pretty simple, you just need to replace the RIL (Radio Interface Layer) Library and Bin executable files using that of working ROM (in which obvious are only from ICS ROW ROM). I have tested it myself and it simply works so far.

    Files to be copied (replacing existing files) and their respective folder in your phone are:
    librapid-ril-core.so --> copy to "system\lib"
    librapid-ril-util.so --> copy to "system\lib"
    libreference-ril-so --> copy to "system\lib"
    libril.so --> copy to "system\lib"
    rild --> copy to "system\bin"
    Use any of your favorite Root Explorers and don't forget to change back permission of copied files as shown, then REBOOT your phone

    To keep it simple, I attached the extracted library and executable files (it's in rar, extract them first!); files' permission setting; and a screenshot of me running balance check USSD code on Lidroid 4.4

    Hope It Helps :angel:

    Custom ROM K860

    Updated my custom ROM to version 2.03, and sharing it just in case someone else outside my local forum is interested:
    THIS IS FOR K860 not sure if it's working for K860i (although i'm using K860i kernel source code)
    Features:
    - Working USSD and Market fix.
    - Base ROM: Latest 130424 Jelly Bean 4.1.2.
    - Swap uboot.bin from other version, (130424 uboot.bin broken recovery option through boot loader menu A)
    - Custom made kernel, modded & compiled from K860i JB source code.
    - Add i/o schedulers: ROW, SIO, & V(R).
    - Default i/o scheduler set to ROW instead of CFQ (standar stock K860).
    - Busybox installed.
    - Root-ed, Superuser manager using Koush's (creator of Clockworkmod), all credits goes to him.
    - Init.d support.
    - Playstore compatibility and USSD fix.
    - GApps (Google Apps) for JB 4.1.2 included, using package from Formula84
    - Apex launcher.
    - Set default language to English
    - Lots of Ringtones.
    - Added Cootek TouchPal keyboard.
    - Lenovo's app debloated
    - 4 way reboot, thanks to Kahvitahra of XDA-Developers.
    - Changes from my v2.02: some build.prop tweak for less UI glitch, Themed UI - BLACK - Quick Setting Toggler button from JB 4.2

    Tweaks:
    - Default governor (pegasusq) tweaks for more responsive CPU.
    - GPU rendering for UI (may cause small glitch).
    - Tweaks for better battery life (sleep mode; disable normalize and new fair sleeper;dll).
    - Low memory killer (Minfree) tweaks.
    - Increase eMMC readahead buffer size.
    - Some minor VM tweaks for better performance.
    - Navbar size set to 25dpi (default 40dpi).
    - SQLite database and auto Zipalign optimized (set on timely event, not at every boot).
    - GPS localized (to Asia, mind you...for other region should tweak GPS.conf file)

    Not Working:
    - Google Chrome browser (due to surface_flinger service been disabled by default, if enabled through init boot chrome will work but also cause off-power battery charging error).

    Bugfix:
    - How to set Alarm: go to clock, add alarm, set ringtone first prior to checking the "turn alarm on checkbox", original ringtones were removed due to chinese filenaming, therefore setting alarm by directly checking the turn alarm on checkbox will cause FC.

    Disclaimer and notes:
    - As always DIYOR (Do It on Your Own Risk)...
    - Warranty Void.
    - DO NOT OTA UPDATE.
    - This ROM does not erase current data and apps, therefore wiping data and cache prior to flashing is recommended especially when upgrading from ICS, failure to do so will often lead to app FC. Restoring apps using any backup application should also restore apps only not apps+data.

    Download link:
    Warning: this is my local file-sharing, contains lots of a*d*f*l*y banner and those are not my doing, i'm taking no advantage of my sharing.
    Please set language to english just in case.

    I've successfully built CWM recovery in English for the K860. My sources are here: https://github.com/angelsl/cm-android_device_lenovo_stuttgart

    Rename the attached zip to update.zip and place it in /sdcard, and then install it using the stock recovery. You can also extract the recovery.img from the zip and flash it using fastboot.

    Repackaged/Debloated supercharged final JB 4.2.1 (K860_1_S_2_003_0020_130605)

    As promised, here's the latest version released yesterday - K860_1_S_2_003_0020_130605, repackaged with all fixes, gapps, root etc for everyone struggling here.

    The changes are:

    1. Debloated - Around 125MB free on system partition (before Gapps and my apps)
    2. Cleared preload partition
    3. Gapps latest pre-installed (Updated Google apps as on 6th June i.e.) - Google Music App, Gmail (the new version 4.5), Maps, Google Now, Search, Calendar etc. Everything on system partition to save space.
    4. Rooted out-of-the-box along with latest SuperUser apk.
    5. Added light weight GB keyboard (For basic setup purposes, to save space)
    6. USSD fix included
    7. Google Location fix included
    8. Market fix included
    9. Replaced default recovery with CWM (Meaning, you can directly go to CWM from option 3 in Mode A menu)
    10. Host file updated from ad-away (No ads)
    11. GPS.conf tweaks
    12. Browser and a cleanup utility put in (Boat browser, SystemCleanup_Intek)
    13. Replaced lenovo launcher with the newer version - 3.2.2
    14. Replaced Email and Exchange APKs with hacked version (which won't enforce PIN lock on corporate exchange network)

    Lenovo apps left are - LeUpgrade, Phone Manager (Not sure what its use) and LenovoStore

    How to flash:
    Come on; its a SZB, you know how to do that. Just brush (read flash ;)) it.

    What else to do
    Well, nothing!

    Please note that this will format data partition.

    Download Link (Google Drive): http://goo.gl/Lpo3Y

    Some intentional debloating (If you wish to use those features):
    - I had removed liblenovo_liveeffect_library.so from /system/lib/ as it was around 8 mb. It was necessary to have all latest google apps in system partition. It's used for special effects through the magic wand icon in the bundled camera app. If you wish to have those effects, extract this file into /system/lib with permissions rw-r--r--
    - Of course if there's not enough space on system partition for that file, Replace the autorun.iso in /system/media/ with the one attached, it will save you around 10-11mb in the system parition as it contains LeDrivers.msi (also attached), which you can keep instead in SD card (All files attached)
    - There's also an issue with adding APNs in some regions (which is an issue with chinese ROMs in general). To be able to add APNs, replace the attached telephony.db into /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases with permissions rw-rw-rw-

    You are welcome.
