you made backup within "mobile uncle" or "mtk droid tools" it is
easy.Just restore within the programIf not, it is not so easy - but
not difficulta) If you have root in adb shell, just start mtk droid
tool and set new IMEIb) If not - go to engineering mode (via mobile
uncle tools or via *#*#3646633#*#*)Go to Connectivity --> CDS

you can repartition internal storage.Remember: All your data will
be gone!Battery bug: Install older lk.bin (older than april
2014)@robertron: I don't understand your post from yesterday.The
provided ZIP is for users, which no want to install within SPFT or
want to install another partition size and so on.This is no MIUI (I
don't like MIUI) this is also no LEWA.This is a modified original
ROM .. the modification is - rooting- lk.bin- switchable partition
size- Carliv Touch Recovery 2.5- some useful APK- without Wallpaper
bug.but it is a "near" original
ROM.http://service.elephone.hk/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=97&extra=&page=21#.U-h4Wfl_uIYhttp://service.elephone.hk/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=191#lastpostnunfre88
