Thanks a lot Silesh as always....I´ll give it a shot.

Just one doubt I have; I currently run the much older Kiotu ROM, which is not VIBE.

Can I flash your ROM anyway or will I have a problem?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Silesh.Nair:
U shouldn't have any issues, but if you are flashing over a ROM other than vibe, data wipe is must.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Holandeserrante:
So I need to Back-Up then, otherwise I´ll loose all data no?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Silesh.Nair:
Yes, you will. Try without a wipe first. If it doesn't work, then wipe.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] oneheart1975:
Flashed without wipe and it works.. coming from your previous release. :) Thanks

Update:

I just realized that root was gone after flashing this update. cannot redo Framaroot, maybe related to the update in the LeSafe app. reverted to the previous release and still happy. Hoping to get KK 4.4.2 in this device.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nekromaniak:
Is there any huge difference between 1411 and 1418?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Silesh.Nair:
Flash the supersu zip file.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] oneheart1975:
where can i find it?

Update: got it form Chainfire site, flashed and it's good. :) thanks man.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vladog8:
1418 is officially last update for K860/i .
[Miscellaneous Android Development] LePrasad860:
News for KitKat

Even Samsung has announced that no KitKat Update for S3 - 1GB RAM version, but for 2GB RAM there is update.

so its clear for K860's case.

But, atleast 4.3 update was expected.

:crying:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vladog8:
Does any1 know is it possible to find 4.2.2 android for k860 without VIBE and all other stuff ? Like google edition ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] LePrasad860:
I think CM is the alternative. Its fast and stable. but no more development on the CM roms,

I have tried CM10.1 4C release, its quite stable, but I felt it reduces the signal strength, do we need flash any cpimage post that?

or can we flash the cpimage of VIBE over CM rom?

Anyone heard of CM11 for our device?

Or any CM ROM that you are using currently?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vladog8:
Whats the root method for latest vibe ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] LePrasad860:
Flash the latest SuperSu.zip file from official ChainFire site, or just google it

or use the FramaRoot.apk method, not sure about APK one, but that's easier.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] viveknaudiyal:
You cant flash the SuperSu.zip using the stock recovery and CWM recovery not getting installed on the 1418 ROM.

Any suggestions how to install CWM recoevry on this so that the phone can be rooted

Collection of ROMs for LenovoK860

Hi All,

Found this Chinese Website with collection of the ROMs, I have tried Sense 5.0 and S4 Uied Roms, they are good and working.

Try at your own risk, with usual precautions (Backup).

http://www.aijikong.com/rom/lenovo/lenovo_k860/rom_1.html

Open with Google Translate for English.

Dear Silesh,

Is it possible for you to make your version for these ROMs i.e with GApps, Location Fix, USSD fix.

though I have done it manually for my current ROM.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aaur4man:
hey guys,

does the latest 1418 viberom from Lenovo solve the screen blackout issue?

and the wonderful custom 1418 ROM from Silesh.Nair, i've tried it and play store is perfect etc, but google maps is unable to get a WLAN fix. is there a workaround on this?

thanks in advance.

Slim ROM K860

Hi Silesh,

There is a Slim ROM for K860 at http://bbs.lenovo.com/k860i/t378588/ Download Link --http://pan.baidu.com/s/1dDf7LAD

I have tried this. It looks good but the creator has has changed the system icons.

Is it possible for you to modify this with the stock icons and make it feel a stock rom with the latest features.

Also could you please change the name to K860 in the system settings

Thanks and Regards

Any New ROM base kitkat 4.4.2 for k860i

Hello Silesh Bro & All,

Hi everybody how you all doing ? Is been long time i did not update here any new ROM base kitkat 4.4.2 for Lenovo k860i ??
[Miscellaneous Android Development] viveknaudiyal:
Hi

Better than this and having a more stock feeling I found the last version for Slim Rom Build 8 for K860i.

http://bbs.loorin.net/thread-41941-1-1.html (Use google translate as this is in chinese).

I have added some apk to this rom and did some modification . (All credit goes to developers of the ROM)

Gapps are loaded seperately as flashable zip file.

http://www.4shared.com/zip/LvRw4lH1ba/Slim-k860i-422build8_modified.html

http://www.4shared.com/zip/emGGZQtKce/Slim_Gapps422build8.html

To install the ROM

Boot in to recovery

Wipe Data; Wipe Cache;Mounts and Storage--format /system; Advanced--Wipe Dalvik Cache

Install zip from sdcard

Note: The Navigation buttons are hidden by default. So once you get in first thing enable the Navigation buttons (settings--Navigation--Navigation Bar--Enable Navigation Bar)

Uploading the files. Will post the download link as soon as the upload is completed
[Miscellaneous Android Development] viveknaudiyal:
Yes Bro I am using K860
[Miscellaneous Android Development] viveknaudiyal:
I don't use super camera only the stock camera. I find the RAM Usage around 700-800 with Facebook, whatspp, google services all working which is fine and comparable(better) to the latest vibe ROM usage. Also did not find any issues on the signal. I have not tweaked anything just added a few apks and any missing lib files to give it a good look and feel
[Miscellaneous Android Development] coolkillermax:
Thank you Bro :cool: i will look into it...:fingers-crossed:

Look like this slim rom is based from CM 10.1 no surprise ... :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Silesh.Nair:
Sorry guys, I am too busy with other projects to provide further support.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] oneheart1975:
So far, so good. Better than last release of VIBE. :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aaur4man:

Update: Faster than Vibe, Bluetooth on call is okay, 300 free RAM with just system apps. I am loving this.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] coolkillermax:
Sure good because this rom style same with mine & ROM maker is the same... :victory:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] wikowikowiko:
do google chrome work okay on this ROM?

Because as far as i tested 4.1.2 ROM, didnot find any rom that was able to use google chrome yet.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] oneheart1975:
Sorry man, I do not use Chrome since the stock browser syncs with my google account. I like the stock browser than Chrome.

Battery consumption is higher than the VIBE ROM, but I can live with it. It's not that bad for my usage.

I think the ROM is not capable of "deep sleep" I see activities even if the phone is not used and no wifi or bluetooth connected.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] coolkillermax:
Do u Always off Location access specially Wifi & Network Location？:confused:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aaur4man:
viberom has very good standby time haha..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] oneheart1975:
I have set it to not locate. Will see tomorrow how's the standby time.

Update: It make sense now. Battery consumption is acceptable. :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] coolkillermax:
See my CPU status today deep sleep about 5 hours,This Morning wechat about 25minute & i always underclock my cpu to 1.2mhz i just use 3% battery :cool::cool: u can try underclock too :cool:

Try the Market Helper App.

find it at this thread : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2146216

This ROM don't support hindi fonts also.

to deal with this, place hindi fonts files at /system/fonts give proper permissions and Reboot. :good:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] oneheart1975:
Update: The best ever K860 ROM so far. I have been to stock ICS, CM10s, Mokee, VIBE, etc. This is so far the best for my usage.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] LePrasad860:
Try the XPERIA 4.1 in same forum.

http://www.romzj.com/resources/defau...w=roms&cid=283

Its great looking, notification drawer is much better than s4 styled ROM.

though I am missing font size change feature and Volume rocker wake.

Any idea, how this can be added?:angel:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] wolf12:
Bluetooth not worked

I installed this ROM on the Vibe. Bluetooth not worked.

I copied libbt-vendor.so from /system/vendor/lib to /system/lib. After rebooted my phone. Bluetooth not worked.

Why?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vladog8:
Can u tell me about preformanse, bat. time, call quality, antutu ? Also whats the flash method ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] oneheart1975:
I flashed it over vibe via clean flash. Data wipe, system format, dalvik and cache wiped. I don't do games so I UC it to 1.2GHz. Call quality is the same as Vibe but overall smoothness is better. Due to the UC, Antutu is only 16k+.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vladog8:
Ok thanks, i guess baterry last a bit longer with UC... Anyway it doesnt lag like sometimes on vibe ? Like waiting for destkop or that crap ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] oneheart1975:
It doesn't lag like Vibe. I was with vibe for months until i found this. :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vladog8:
Great, thanks, flash via CWM ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] oneheart1975:
Yes, factory reset plus format system.

Do this rom battery icon can show percentage？

Your Phone is K860i or not ？
[Miscellaneous Android Development] AshRoller:
anyone had successfully build custom kernel to K860 using K860i 4.2 kernel source code?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] LePrasad860:
Do this rom battery icon can show percentage？

You can do this by modifying the systemUI.apk, tutorial and file is present in the Silesh's post at Page no.126.

U can even try using systemUI.apk from the ROM with battery percentage.

Do with CWM backup. :good:

---------- Post added at 05:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:35 AM ----------

This is accomplished using AwesomeScreenOn application on Play Store, it uses the g or p sensor of phone to wake up screen.

Little tilt while picking up phone and screen wakes up, no need to press power button.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] coolkillermax:
Need Modify systemUI.apk that's need more time for me is waste time even i know how to do that before :p :D ... My S4 style ROM default already have battery status style just select & bingo have the %%% :cool: :cool:

Anyone know when CM 11 can create because from link here no update :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] oneheart1975:
Did anyone test this already? What's the performance?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] viveknaudiyal:
Can you suggest what are the features of this and can this be used on any rom on k860
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vladog8:
For any1 who want to clear lag on last VIBE, just install nova launcher prime ( you can download it from pirate bay torrent) since i'v done that , phone works like charm, and ram is less occupied, always have 220+ free ram.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] LePrasad860:
thanks but, Nova Prime is Paid App, instead of that you can try Solo Launcher with Kitkat 4.4 theme, which gives exact replica of nexus 5 theme.

but VIBE system itself is very heavy.

If you add FB, WhatsApp, 2-3 google accounts + root, then it will start lagging.

for this, best suited to k860 is 4.1.2, u can try any xperia/s4 theme with it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vladog8:
U can get nova prime from torrent for free.

What is best CM for 860
[Miscellaneous Android Development] LePrasad860:
Best CM found till date is:

http://www.romzj.com/resources/default.html?view=rom&id=11637

It has aroma installer, which provides facility to install Awesome Beats, Bravia Engine.

but aroma is in Chinese language, though u can come to know what to input.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] oneheart1975:
How's the overall performance and the Bluetooth?

Update: Tried this ROM and didn't like it. It's to heavy and leaves only <100MB RAM. Bluetooth for call is also not working. Had to revert to 4.1.2.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] viveknaudiyal:
Updated RC8 version of Mokee ROM released.

http://bbs.lenovo.com/k860i/t381220/

But there are some important files missing.

1. Launcher

2. Email & Exchange

3. Keyboard

4. File Browser

5. Apollo & DSP Manager.

Add these to the zip file before installing or else you wont be able to use as it doesnt have a launcher present in it
[Miscellaneous Android Development] LePrasad860:
Is this compatible with k860, will try to translate the chinese page later.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] viveknaudiyal:
Yes this is compatible with K860. I am using this on my K860 only. But dont forget to add a launcher atleast to the ROM
[Miscellaneous Android Development] oneheart1975:
Flashed this ROM and so far so good. Will update after a couple of days.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Holandeserrante:
So how did you proceed to flash the missing files?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] LePrasad860:
We can create update.zip for the missing application, mainly the launcher as other apks you can install once you gets the file browser.

Find the application ZipMe on playStore, create apk of any existing launcher (I used Solo) using AppBackUpAndResore (from playSore).

Input the apk to ZipMe, and follow the instructions, it will create the update.zip

then after flashing the rom in recovery, install this Zip also, and then Reboot.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vladog8:
It would be great if some1 can add all those files that r missing , and than make a SDK file :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Holandeserrante:
Thanks for your quick reply, appreciate it.

One more thing I wanted to know; does this Updated RC8 version of Mokee ROM include Google Play etc.? Or do you have to flash it seperately?

And what languages does this ROM have?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] oneheart1975:
1) unzip

2) add launcher and keyboard apk to sys/app

3) zip

4) flash
[Miscellaneous Android Development] LePrasad860:
Flash the Gappsfor4..2.2 package separately.

The ROM I downloaded from the link had NOVA launcher.

it looks good, more reviews coming.

The best K860 ROM/Kernel - based on my daily usage

I have this phone as back-up and usually is used for social media (FB, IG, Viber, Tweeter, LinkedIn, etc.) and work (Lync and Touchdown). I am not a gamer but I do some multimedia (videos and photos).

For me this is the best combination so far under JB 4.2.2:

ROM: http://www.romzj.com/resources/default.html?view=rom&id=11637

Kernel: http://pan.baidu.com/s/1bnrhyOn

Optimization App: Android Tweaker 2 (by BAM)

The ROM is a bit heavy and leaves only 70-90MB with all my apps at sync mode.

Flashing the kernel enables zRAM and ZIpalign.

Use AT2 to optimize at your own desire.

I get ~150MB free after tweaking and everything is smooth.. not as smooth as Galaxy S4 (my prime phone) but smooth enough for a 4.2.2.

GPS locks fast... data is also fast...

Known limitations:

1) Bluetooth on phone call and audio stream is not working. - i use headphone

2) Redraw of the wallpaper when accessing recent apps window. - minor

I tried the following ROMs:

1) Mokeee, both RC6 and RC8

2) VIBE release 1403, 1411, and 1418

3) SLIMROM build8

Must try, worth the download.

Help needed

Can someone help me with my friend's K860 problem?

I'd to explain the error of the phone first...

It didn't have a signal bar. when i check the menu in settings,the phone doesn't have a cellular setting too.

then after doing some googling,i decided to flashing a official rom (K860_1_S_2_003_0056_130702) through SD-Update.

everything's went "OK" but after rebooting,the screen showing lenovo then it blank/black.

i've wait it for about an hour but nothing shows except that blank/black screen.

i'd flashing with many roms including custom but the result is the same.

fyi,the screen on (dim) if i check it without lights on condition.

can someone guide me to solve this problem???

i would deeply appreciated

ps : sorry for my bad english
[Miscellaneous Android Development] LePrasad860:
Go to Recovery mode and clear the davik cache from advanced.

If that doesn't help, try to load 1403 VIBE rom.szb through SD Update.

If no for this also, then u ll have to take it to Lenovo Customer Care, for the firmware restore.

Best luck. :good:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] LePrasad860:
hi Vivek,

You can flash this 1418 with Root, and over it just do the CWM SD update, hope you might have got it till now.

But this is really refreshing to have VIBE UI back after CM.

Some features I liked.

1.Very decent Layout for the settings and all notifications (toasts or bar)

2.Galaxy like swipe calling in contact list (swipe right on the contact name to call, left for message)

3.24 dpi virtual key size.

4. super camera built in.

http://www.romzj.com/resources/default.html?view=rom&id=18351

I am using XPERIA launcher over this and rooted again with FramaRoot to get SuperSU and updated Binary.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] the.raven:
clear dalvik cache doesn't help... will try flashing vibe rom. downloading now...

will update after flashing the vibe rom

the thing is my friend didn't buy this k860 in our country.

so i guess the warranty doesn't apply.

EDIT :

1403 VIBE ROM does the same result as last one (black/blank screen with dim light)

thx anyway le prasad...

does any member know how to solve my problem???

i would deeply appreciate
[Miscellaneous Android Development] viveknaudiyal:
I rather acheived it the other way round. On the previous 1351 Rom i upgarded the official 1418 rom by changing the updater-binary script as mentioned by someone in bbs.lenovo.com forum using CWM recovery
[Miscellaneous Android Development] the.raven:
done that,nothing's different.

I even do format the system,data,cache,preload and reflashing.

still the result is same as i mention above (dim blank screen after the "lenovo" letters).

but if i do the formating without reflashing the rom,the screen only shows "lenovo" letters.

maybe is the hardware problem???

:rolleyes:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] the.raven:
already do it with many different ROM including custom too. I even try flashing the K860i ROM but nothing's change still dimmed screen after "lenovo"

selling it is not my call because is not mine,besides who will buy unusable phone,right???

yeah with that kind of specs,the RAM is sh*t.

thanks anyway,i keep my finger cross. hope that one day,someone know how to fix this problem.
