QuBex Vibe Rom v7

I just flashed the Vibe Rom V7 by Qubex on my K900. It looks great. But i was trying to locate a few features that existed in earlier non Vibe ROMs of K900

1) How do i unlock the screen using Volume button or any other means without involving the power button. The vol button setting was there in earlier ROMs but i cant find in this ROM. Vibe-X rom has an interesting way of swiping the bottom of the screen to switch on the screen. I couldnt find either of the ways to unlock the screen without a power button.

2) In the past, running applications could be accessed by long pressing he left button on the phone. In this ROM it has been changed to the middle button. I was using the Screen Off and Lock application to long press the middle button and lock the phone. Can i change the setting to see running applications by pressing the left most button. (i want to minimize the use of power button because of previous bad experience with power button on Nexus One).

3) The dialer application shows Chinese labels. Can i change them to English somehow.

Regards

Mandeep

damn, i accidentally dropped my phone, now the back cover scratched so bad.

search all over the net, there's no battery cover parts for sale.

the only thing that makes me proud using this phone is the shiny stainless steel, but now it's scratched. :(
[Lenovo K900] mydroidfren:
send it to a machine shop for buffing ... you can even sandblast the back if that's your thing.:good:

Can not increase internal memory. But we can increase the "available internal memory".

Move apps to SD (use Titanium for fastest solution).

Delete useless app (bloat ware, must have root),

Frosting apps through Titanium Backup will make the software lighter, faster, and not battery consuming.

I frost apps that I use only once in a while, especially those that consume much memory and auto-start. This makes my battery last longer. Already tried Lenovo's tweaks, Greenify, and ES task manager, but frosting looks to be the best long term solution.

To me, everything seems to work OK for VibeROM 4. Very stable. Root Explorer works

fine and I can get rid of the bloat wares, install stock browser, etc. Battery life so-so, With casual use, can last one day.

After trying a bit with Vibe 7 ROM, i decided to stick to the ROW official rom on my K900. But i was still curious if the following features from vibe can be installed on the ROW rom.

* The camera app which keeps on taking photo graphs quickly

* The video player which can play back videos in portrait mode too. Somehow the videos on the ROW rom always run in landscape mode on my phone, ie. even if i have taped them correctly.

* The contacts widget

Hi everybody, is there a solution to fix a K900 who absolutly don't boot at all ? :x
[Lenovo K900] msbrar:
Did you try out something or did it stop booting by itself. Does it go into droid boot by vol+ and power together? If yes, you my try out the fastboot thing after connecting it to a PC.

If it went by itself, I had a battery problem. My phone battery and charging port had to be changed recently under warranty (after around 9 months of use) because the earlier one charged slowly and then completely stopped charging and wouldnt boot at all.
[Lenovo K900] dragonjl:
Unfortunately it absolutly don't turn on, no droid boot accessible, and the battery where fully charged when the problem happend :/

Lenovo K900 DEAD

Hi to all! :)

The day before yesterday suddenly my K900 shut down while using it (in an app, but not a special/hacked one). Every attempt to turn it on failed.

The computer doesn't recognize the phone.

I've tried pressing the POWER+VOL UP and didn't work.

So then I tried to install the intel driver in order for me to flash the system using MFT. But I can't install it since during the installation it is required to shut the phone down and then turn it on!

I don't know what else I can do and it really is WEIRD for a phone to suddenly just die like this.

BTW, I didn't flash other rom nor root/costume recovery.

Everything was the original and no changes were made.

Any ideas?

Thank you.
[Lenovo K900] nugroho2:
Any custom recovery?

Still no custom recovery until today ? Just wondering... I wish I could do a nandroid backup.
[Lenovo K900] trungduc5151:
did you charge ?
[Lenovo K900] pelegm28:
Yes of course, I forgot to mention.

It was in charge for an entire night, and still DEAD.

Any ideas?

Basiclly if I had managed to install succesfully the driver I would fix it but the installation requires a working phone.

Is there any way to install the driver in a different way?

Thank you!
[Lenovo K900] X0LARIUM:
Just a thought..I could be wrong..but may be, the device isn't charging at all. Try a different charger. .a couple of them may be. Like someone here said the part that charges conked. .so may be..

[Lenovo K900] trungduc5151:
send it to service :) you can't help it if it doesn't boot
[Lenovo K900] pelegm28:
I tried many different chargers, still no luck /:

I tried to avoid it but I guess I can't.

I have to send it back to China for the repair service.

Thank you for your help guys.
[Lenovo K900] X0LARIUM:
Just wanted to know how long did you keep it for charging?

Coded from a Clover Trail+ Machine!
[Lenovo K900] pelegm28:
An entire night.

And after the frustration in the morning, I tried charging it again for about 5 hours.
[Lenovo K900] X0LARIUM:
Hmm...looks like something is messed up. I would suggest what others have suggested then. Take it to a service centre. Not necessarily China though. .

I can't fix it in my country. Lenovo's representative won't fix my device for sure. They won't take any responsibility for the phone.
[Lenovo K900] MacGuy2006:
Hm, it's Official Lenovo K900 Version: K900_1_S_2_009_0166_130527_DVT3_CPU.

It looks like Chinese version, dated May 27. Isn't that older than the international ROM Oleg linked to earlier?

SMS Questions

In addition to the push mail issue, I am finding a couple of problems with the dialer/sms app:

1. I can send texts to multiple recipients, but then the app display the same message that I sent to four people four separate times on screen.

2. When they respond, I get each individual's texts in their own conversation, which breaks the common SMS conversation.

Unfortunately, I am finding out that four people cannot easily communicate in one SMS conversation about dinner, at least from the point of view of the K900 owner .... I feel like the odd man out, lol.

I hope I am simply missing something and there is a simple setting to fix this.

---

The speaker issue has disappeared, maybe a temporary glitch.

Also, I turned off the "Smart Sound" noise cancelation feature and it seems to make the recipients of my voice calls happier.

i like this phone, i know it is available in china now.but i do not know how to buy this phone online.
[Lenovo K900] ransagy:
I'm pretty sure that's the standard behavior for SMS - At least, That's what i always had on my Android phones since the HTC Desire and up to my current Note II. That's why i used things like WhatsApp/Hangouts to do multiple-people conversations.

Anyway, I'm trying to get one from china via some friends that are visiting. I hope to have one soonish and see what we can do with it.

eBAY search for K900

I found about a dozen for sale on eBAY and even a craig's list posting for one in my area. Pretty sure I would pay $500 USD but so far all completed listings have ended higher than that.

[Lenovo K900] MacGuy2006:
Duh, I think you are right and I was confused with my iPhone.... :(

I kind of like the unified app, even if the UI is on the tacky side, particularly for SMS. But really hope that they update it to have group SMS conversation ability.

Also, quick question on the battery life. I know it varies according to each user's habits, but how does the battery life of the K900 compare to past phones you've had? So far for me it seems to eat juice like there is no tomorrow (literally, since I don't think it can get even through today). Maybe I am still playing with it too much :)
[Lenovo K900] ajftl:
Not sure. Buy it now option maybe 500

[Lenovo K900] mac231us:
so much complaining about k900...will not sell and certainly

extremely pleased with the phone...

i got new for 480 from en.jd.com

anyway

has features mentioned before that needed mods and silly custom cm roms to run stuff on

screen much better than note 1 and note 2 both of which have not got time to sell and literally collecting dust

sound is great

everything works that i need..internet wifi auto mms data on off locksreen keeps status bar out (this started w miui now on magic locker, go locker, mihome locker/launcher), backup/restore built in like miui, lots of apps i use work nothing special or fancy but they work and work reliably..voice call sound great..camera speaker great...looks and feels great..battery life..so could have had 3100battery but big deal..all dependent on user...call record built in..yes ext sd card would ne nice...keeping it till the next version comes out..lol

[Lenovo K900] Sw33t_Lov3r:
Please try not to sound too "it's only single core".

You might like to check out the Motorola Razr i.

The single core one you referred at is probably the Razr i, (there might more ones) and this has been enough to match the performance of the likes of Note 2, Galaxy S3, LG 4X, iPhone 4S, and iPhone 5. (You can check out videos)

So, what we have here is a first generation Intel smartphones processor that can easily equal performance to the top current devices and a second gen that practically can double its power which means out of theory it can outperform any of the top devices from the competitors. Even be an equal for the new Snapdragon 800.

All this in just 2 generations.

This makes the K900 very appealing for me, besides its size and design. And I bought the Razr i without knowing much of this despite it was/is single core. It was a winning bet.

- L.
[Lenovo K900] ransagy:
Haven't been able to find info about kernel sources.. Need to contact Lenovo/Intel perhaps. Anyone knows if any 2nd gen Atom device has its kernel source available?

I'm trying to think of ways to get developers interested in porting CM to this device. Maybe a bounty?

Feed back vibe v7

just found out lenovo bumped up the processor power for the phone its zapping battery due to this bump & its HOT! even real racing 3 is faster and in full hi res. that's the drawback of power vs battery life. camera autofocus was much faster and sharper as well.

managed to get most google apps in via xiaomi installer but google play store still wont work as no root to change permission.

Qubex can you change the root version to have better camera speed & sharpness like original? also reduce power consumption? other than that vibe 7 is good.

Lenovo K900 has the power & good camera even battery life if the firmware is well tuned. its a waste that its still not yet there....

Hello !

I'm new on this forum, actually I've been roaming through the threads for few months but it is my first post !

I would like to thank Qubex for his tremendous work and also all the members that propose nice and clear tutorials.

I bought the K900 on to2c.com and I had absolutely no problem with either the payement and the delivery.

I'm from France, I used DHL fast delivery system and I paid with Paypal, it costed me 270€.

I'm really satisfied with this phone, in terms of design, screen quality, performances, and even battery life.

Actually, the user's interface was the only thing that I had to complain about, and the VIBEROM is a perfect substitute.

I wonder if any other ROM custom exist, I would like to try several in order to choose the best one.

Could any of you give me a list of the existing ROMs custom ?

Thank you !
