Download and place the image file into internal storage. 2. Rename the image file into "recovery.img". [Without quotes] 3. Install MTK MobileUncle Tool from Play Store and open and go to Recovery Updates option 4. Select the image file to install and let it be installed automatically. 5. It will reboot into recovery. |

SOLO LAUNCHER. __________________ Light, Swift, Smart. ______________________________ Those are the features that makes up Solo launcher. In the category of Apex, Nova, ADW and Solo launcher. Solo launcher tops them all followed by ADW. ______________________________ The interesting and astonishing part of this stunning launcher is the fact that with all its amazing features, its FREE. Yes free, no missing words, I can't say it all but here is it. ______________________________ I discovered it online while searching for another launcher like Adw launcher ex which allows folder in the app drawer. Boom, I landed on solo launcher version 1.7.2. I will admit that I was scared, I tested it on my tecno m3, and it Came with some widgets, fully aware of the predicaments that awaits trying to use widgets on Gionee m2 home screen on a downloaded launcher, I picked the worst scenario and feared the next epistle to the expected "UNFORTUNATELY, SETTINGS HAS GONE GAGA". But being fashioned with a gift to find solutions 'BIG THANKS TO THE AWESOME I AM THAT I AM', I swayed in and did a backup of the solo launcher settings on my tecno m3, then sent it to my Gionee m2. ______________________________ This is were it got interesting. After installing solo launcher on my gionee m2, I found out I had to start it first before I can even restore my sent back up file from my m3..... Sad and relinquished by this event. I reluctantly clicked "continue" to my very own amazement WIDGETS APPEARED ON MY GIONEE M2 HOME SCREEN and the sore sights of "UNFORTUNATELY SETTINGS HAS STOPPED" was no where to be seen. I must confess I was happy to see a widgets on my unrooted gionee m2 home screen and the fact that its on a downloaded launcher made me almost brought solo launcher from my phone to kiss it. Guessing how I felt? You can't, its just an awesomazing inexplicable feeling. ______________________________ But then came a depressing thought "What if only the solo widgets was possible to work on solo launcher?" Well I swiftly I skipped through my apps and "yes widgets" I Tried transparent weather widgets, gionee m2 analog clock widgets 2×2[which I really love, thanks to my unquenchable thirst for great analog clocks], Ez weather Widgets, Analog clock and wallpaper Widgets and playerpro music player.... they all worked without a single hustle, as if the amigo ui was on *welcome* break, so it's not conflicting the Widgets application. So I decided to try applying widgets on my apex, nova, ADW and Aviate launcher... Lo and behold, "UNFORTUNATELY SETTINGS HAS STOPPED" came back from holiday in a very short notice 'as if somebody call am say mtn dey browse free' ______________________________ Ran back to solo launcher and my widgets were working flawlessly, there was no other explanations to this act than its divine. Jesus heard me when I said I won't root my gionee m2, He just gave me more reasons not to root it. With tears of joy I decided to give Him a big hug of praises. Yes I did. ______________________________ Never rated an app five star on play store before, because they were either good but pricey or free and not appealing to what I wanted... But SOLO LAUNCHER? Nah... Was just perfected to perfection when it comes to a launcher. So off I went, play store I came. And eh... It got an update... 1.9.3, "why not?" I updated it... And yes, the updated was......Yes almost perfect till my widgets stopped working. I could revert back to 1.7.2 though, but 1.9.3 came with so much amazing features, like you can add up to 5 apps on your status bar. Yes, if you have used or heard of "BAR NOTIFICATION LAUNCHER" you would understand want I meant. Its better than bar notification launcher though, in ways like: Any icon pack applied to Solo launcher also changed the apps on the notification tray looks, "Damn it was beautiful" that torn me and grieved my belle to bits, I tell you, Reverted back to 1.7.2. But I was no longer happy, wanted the notification bar feature, how do I get it and keep my sweet widgets? ______________________________ So I rated the app and emailed the developer, then I understood the mind behind such an amazing launcher which was priceless and yet free-ad-less "anyone notice that even gmail don begin do adverts on inbox?" ______________________________ The only downside to m2 for me was the widgets issue, which I knew before buying it and still love the phone with that Achilles hill. Solo launcher fixed that. _____________________________ To cut it short, he(the developer) guided me through a way on how to maybe try to use a widgets on my gionee m2 again on the version 1.9.3. Despite his English not being really understandable, I was able to read his mind through his words and got his intended directives. ______________________________ So yes, instead of applying widgets through the shortcut like I did on the version 1.7.2. I went to app drawer, located widgets, clicked system widgets and 'Ze' I was able to use widgets again on my unrooted m2. Apart from being just 5mb, with amazing features like able to use icon packs of other launchers and its own icon packs which you can request for√ from the developer and he will make any design of the icon pack you request..... It had little or no effect on my ram, had inbuilt unread counts for messages, missed calls, gmail, Samsung and HTC mails; These features which you can only have on other launchers for a price and still have to download another app like Tesla, missed it and smart notifier. ______________________________ I have talked to the developer on what features I want added in his future update, will email him to add more unread counts for bbm, whatsapp and telegram if possible. ______________________________ Am not an app developer, but I have an unending desire to keep searching for the best apps and trying them out, then after making sure its not intrusive and buggy, I spread the news.... We all hate misbehaving, ram and battery hogging apps don't we? So if you want to keep up to date with apps that are less lethal to your phone, catch us on our telegram group zero8zero51453zero22. _____________________________ Screen shots of Solo launcher bellow (with flat2 icon pack from Material Design Developers, The background image is a live wallpaper "magic clock live wallpaper" which is just another amazing app I got through solo launcher [the live wallpaper is on play store]). The icons were edited to be small by me, you can make them bigger or smaller. ______________________________ Try solo launcher out, and do rate the app 5 star if you find it as amazing as I strongly suggested... Blessed day to you all in Jesus name. Written by Zesus.EOTM

Re: GIONEE M2 Discussion Thread. by Qunlexus4u(m): 6:00pm On Sep 17, 2014 |
ladokuntlad: Nooooo. There is an app to generate the stock recovery image, "stock not cwm recovery image" if that is what you are looking for download online nandroid backup that will generate recovery image for you but you may not actually need it hence the need for MTK droid tool There is no risk in using MTKdroid tools at all if you actually know what you are doing, that is the most commonly used method to generate both stock recovery image and clockworkmod recovery image |
