Thank you,Is cyanogenmod available for k900?. Is there Binary counter on k900 and what's the best way to backup the stock ROM before rooting?

---------- Post added at 07:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:29 PM ----------

Great news,thank you and android pester me with ads. I Installed ABP but still ads can be seen in apps and browser. Is there anyway to stop this ad annoyance?
[Lenovo K900] emptystackexn:
I don't think there exists one yet but if you want so, you can make a request to the Cyanogen team.

What do you mean by "binary counter"? ROM version number? If so, you can have a look at you can fetch it in Settings -> All Settings -> About the phone -> Information about the version.

I don't know how to save the initial ROM. Maybe it is already definitely saved and you can reuse it with the factory reset BUT i'm not quite sure about that.

K900 battery performance

Hi All,

Today I installed rooted 922 rom with sdupdate method, and its running fine.

The main issue i found is the home screen swipe issue, the movement a little sluggish. However it does not happen for application list.

I tried helium 2.1.2, the gaming performance is really good, despicable me is running smooth, which was earlier doing not so well, but does not improve the home screen performance.

Currently I am concerned a little about the standby battery drainage.

Could u give me some estimate on the battery performance like how many minutes for 1% in standby mode. By standby i mean, doing nothing, and wlan, data, gps are all turned off.

Thanks in advance.

reflashed back my phone still on 903 rooted so far still holding up as the best. 927 burns up phone and hate the new supercamera update made my photos looks crap especially low lighting even took longer to focus but what i like was the addition option to use volume button as zoom. heck went back to old version no choice but miss the zoom button. lets hope 4.3 will come out for this K900 babe!

actually its ok with games just darn developers don't bother to optimize for x86 just like Real Racing 3 pre v1.2 works fine with K900 but by v1.3 it stutters but still managed to run the whole racing then by v1.4 its drop off playstore saying game not compatible for this phone ! a working game suddenly became off limits .... :confused:
[Lenovo K900] charming.arpit:
Custom Russian ROM based on official 927 ROM is the best one... It has inbuilt playstore and other google apps.

With official lenovo launcher it just easts up 800 MB RAM which is huge improvement over other ROMs,... but install only the custom russian ROM... it also has English support!

Hi Chris, 1010 is not even close. Have you tried using Russian custom 927 ROM? It has many additional features like:

Hi All,

Last week I installed 922 rooted rom, and it was doing fine. However the Barclays app v 1.6.1 was giving 00002 error, may be due to it was rooted. I followed the post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2360142 to install the app.

4. Download "SuperSU" from PlayStore

5. Find "Full Unroot" in the settings. And do it.

5. Flash this file ( http://puu.sh/372bd.zip ) using CWM or TWRP Recovery

6. Reboot once file is flashed

7. Download "SuperSU" from PlayStore AGAIN!

8. Load SuperSu "update binary" (Do not move app to system)

9. Download "Barclays Mobile Banking v1.3.3" (Thanks to gazza1988)

10. Setup mobile banking (Do not update)

11. Congrats your done

Now I did the step 5, and supersu successfully get uninstalled, but step 5 got failed.

I tried from the droid bot menu, using the recovery option, and selecting the zip file http://puu.sh/372bd.zip, but it was unsuccessful. Actually I don't know how to do the CWM or TWRP Recovery.

Then I installed Barclay 1.3.3 successfully from the link in step 9, and could do the setup properly.

Now again I tried to install supersu, it got installed, but when I open the app, it says "there is not SU binay installed, and SuperSU cant install it. This is a problem". I am afraid that I lost my root. However I did a backup of the root using ART.

Please help me to get back the root.

Thanks in advance.

[Lenovo K900] Rdmkr:
I think the reason why the K900 now scores so much worse on antutu than before is because xiaomi took over antutu and they know Lenovo is their biggest competitor. there is something fishy about the performance of snapdragon processors and adreno GPUs since the last update. Haier W910, a phone with a dual core snapdragon and old adreno 225 gpu now scores almost as high as the quad core version of samsung s3. it used to get about 66% of its score. 3D performance got a massive boost. fishy doesn't begin to describe it.

between this and the fact that the K900 is pretty much the only phone that gets a WORSE score rather than better after the update, I'd say xiaomi is gaming this benchmark.

I mean, to see how much faster Intel Atom is than a snapdragon, just look at the youtube video "Intel CloverTrail+ vs Snapdragon APQ8064:How Big Is The Difference"... It compares the app opening times of a quad-core 1.5Ghz snapdragon s4 pro to the 1.6!!! ghz version of clover trail. clover trail beats the snapdragon by a wide, wide margin. and that's just the low clocked version.

!!!root is lost: need cwm recovery image!!!

Hi,

As I see I lost my root, I understand I can't get it back without installing a rooted rom.

I was no idea of the cwm and twrp recovery, and now I understood that in order to install custom update zip (mentioned in the above process) , I need a cwm recovery already installed using rom manager, that again requires root access to update the stock recovery image.

So my question is: Is there any cwm/twrp recovery image exist for Lenovo k900. I don't see any discussion regarding this in this forum. Also I think if such module exists we can integrate it into the rooted rom, so that during installation only we get it.

Also let me know if there exist any such method to get back the root after doing a full unroot using supersu.

Thanks in advance.

I just bought the 32GB phone off ebay.in

Some 75.8 Mb download and reboot later, I have

INTERNAL VERSION NUMBER: K900_ROW_1_S_2_009_0206_131010

Q1) Is it the latest FW?

Q2) Even if it is, IS IT ANY GOOD? (PS: Is it just me or is the 26.6 Gb , I had initially suddenly vanish to 24.80 Gb after the update?, Again if its a dead rubber FORGIVE ME FOR MY NOOBNESS)

Q3) I notice it has a power hungry launcher. Accepted. BUT, why does it not have any themes? Nor does it support download of any of them.

Q4) How do I root my device? Post me a link, because the whole "K900" segment has too many posts. UNCATEGORIZED Posts.(OCD!!!:D:p)

[Lenovo K900] :
The boot.img file here should probably be called boot.bin; flashing it on my phone failed with the message "could not find boot.bin", and renaming it fixed that.

And on that note: if you ever brick your phone such that you can still reach recovery (but factory reset doesn't help), you can fix it without any MFT tomfoolery. If you've got ADB installed, you can just download one of the updates on AOTA Poller, boot your phone in recovery mode, pick "apply update from ADB" and run "adb sideload update-file-name-here.zip" on your computer. Saved me from having to temporarily install Windows.
