There is a bug in Lenovos Firmware. You cannot search for addresses in an App, when the App is using the Geocoder class (for example Geocaching Apps c:geo, Columbus, some weather widgets and many others). There are two wrong lines in framework-res.apk
I decompiled the framework-res.apk, changed the two lines, recompiled and signed it for the A1
There are different framework-res.apk depending on your ROM (US, GR, ROW)
This files are for the 2643 ROM only – do not use it with other versions!

How to use it:
Select the file for your ROM (US, GR or ROW) and rename it to framework-res.apk
If you have a rooted device, just copy the new framework-res.apk with the ES File Explorer (root mode, and /system should be mount as writeable! ) into /system/framework folder
Your Device will boot immediately. If not switch it off and on again.
If anything is going wrong and the device will not boot again, you can flash the original ROM from Lenovo’s FTP-Server.
If you have an unrooted device, download your ROM File from Lenovo’s FTP Server and replace the framework-res.apk in the ROM-ZIP File and flash your device with the modified ROM.
Using this files are on your own risk!
If you like to modify the framework-res.apk by yourself :
Required Tools : winzip/winrar or similar and APKTOOLS
1. Extract framework-res.apk from ROM Image
2. Decompile : apktool d framework-res.apk
3. Change the follwing lines in framework-res/res/values/strings.xml
· <string name="config_networkLocationProvider">@null</string>
· replace @null with com.google.android.location.NetworkLocationProvider
·
· <string name="config_geocodeProvider">@null</string>
· replace @null with com.google.android.location.GeocodeProvider
4. Compile : apktool b framework-res framework-res-new.apk
5. Extract resources.arsc from framework-res-new.apk and copy this file to the original framework-res.apk (with winzip/winrar).
