I think we need to wait for the rooted version of Vibe 4.3 to get Google Playstore normally China version doesn't have. It would be nice if it came with Google Playstore though.

i always flash firmware with fastboot/ adb/ dos prompt commands.

never a single fail to me.

in 4.3 firmware, got over 7000 marks in 3D antutu, while the 4.2 and earlier firmwares only got 4000-5000 marks. huge improvement.

hi guys , i already install 4.3 and it's working fine , just my skype , oovoo, tangoo , viber , don't have any sound for incoming and outgoing calls !! i did reset factory default too but still same :( plz help
[Lenovo K900] yohannrjm:
It took a couple of downloading tries, but I'm now updated to 4.3. Got the system to work in English, but Chinese keeps popping up, so I'll have to figure that out.

Antutu score is 22000+, so it's an improvement over 4.2.2.

No root is irritating, but not fatal.

Be patient. It will be a few days before a rooted 4.3 ROM is available.

I've got mine to work pretty well, even without it being rooted. A few apps don't load, for some reason. If you're totally dependent on Google apps, you'll have a problem.

Updated again from the original V7 and no luck with the SIM. Still can't recognize the SIM and says "SIM card is urnready".

Is there someone without this problem ? Can someone help me ?? Thanks guys..
[Lenovo K900] yohannrjm:
Yep, I have a few items too that I paid for that are not accessible.

I installed the 1mobile and the Amazon app store, and that provides a couple of stores in English for me to download from. Still can't access apps that you paid for in the Play store though.

I keep hoping that QuBeX will release an updated rooted 4.3 ROM in English. Until then, I'm fine with this one.
[Lenovo K900] PassingThruLife:
will the lenovo k900 get 4.4 with the ROW rom ?
[Lenovo K900] yohannrjm:
I updated using the exact instructions from post #3142 in this thread. That worked. Everything is working that is expected to (no root and no Play services).

I did have to download the 4.3 zip twice, as the first one wouldn't install.

The ROM file is .INB so the regular sdfuse method and the GAPPS you need to copy to the system folder, give premissions and reboot.

Audio Quality Issue

Hi all,

I'm frustrated by a issue that may be individual case or a defect of K900, please spend a few moment to try and let me know does it happen on your device too, thanks concern.

After received or made a call during listening music with official player or other players, the music playback quality is suppressed radically which the vocal is still clear but several parts of rhythm are missing. This issue appeared every time i made or received a call and there's no way to correct the problem, the only way is to reboot the device. I've double checked the audio files on Samsung Note and PC to make sure the sources are perfect.

I wonder if the background noise reduction function couldn't turn off automatically after call ended or any defects related to the audio chipset.

Please find a familiar and high quality music and try on your K900, see wether this issue happen.

Thanks again
[Lenovo K900] MacGuy2006:
So, what do you think of the June 14 Chinese ROM, compared to the international one? Do you mean that you would get OTA updates outside of China with that one?

Does it have all the Chinese bloatware and social media stuff, like on the updated camera apk posted earlier?
[Lenovo K900] bobr76:
Wrong, mine was unrooted stock International, Oleg's was rooted International.
[Lenovo K900] MacGuy2006:
But both are the same version of the International ROM, right?

I am curious as to what are the improvements in the June 14 Chinese ROM (I am leery of flashing it, since I am not thrilled by having local Chinese stuff built-in, like the Chinese social networks being forced in the Super Camera apk.
[Lenovo K900] bobr76:
Yes both are from same 603 version of international ROM. I don't like chinese rom for exactly same reasons and because it does not have google apps.
[Lenovo K900] amoyan:
ROW Supergallery please ... we don't weibo ...

will i lose all the google services and applications with this update?

thanks!
[Lenovo K900] MacGuy2006:
I am hoping that an updated version of the international ROM appears soon, to take care of the little issues with the camera, push email, etc..

BTW, I noticed that the updated Chinese version of Super Gallery always sends out the same animated GIF by email, regardless of which photo I select to send. Weird :)
[Lenovo K900] amoyan:
if you having noticed already, the version string without the "_ROW" is the Lenovo Service version (lenovo app store, baidu location etc. the ROW version is compiled with Google services (for location, app, etc)

i have both and I can tell you that the non-ROW works well in China but location services are poor when the device is outside of China. The only way to use the China release to tweak a few files in the system *after* adding Google services.

The main difference is the fused location services which has wifi LBS and CellID. The China release does that poorly outside of China, for obvious reasons (i.e. those services needs a server which I suspect Lenovo is unwilling to pay for, and does not have one in-house)

The advantage of using Lenovostore is ... they are gratis ... :)

K900_row_1_s_2_009_0081_130620

Hurray, there is a new International ROM update to K900_ROW_1_S_2_009_0081_130620 posted at http://bbs.lenovomobile.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=147770&extra=page=1 (use Google Translate).

The direct download link is at: http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=2820680510&uk=2335146322

To flash, follow Cayman's instructions (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=42018562&postcount=60).

It is really the international version (screenshot attached).

Languages: English, French, Spanish, Chinese, Vietnamese, Russian, Ukrainian, Bahasa Indonesia, Bahasa Melayu and a couple of others, which I cannot guess - see attached screenshot.

No major differences from the 603 international ROM that I that I can see. The Super Camera app is the same as before, not like the Chinese apk posted above. Same with the Super Gallery (I actually think the Chinese apk may be a beta, since it does have some improvements, like better panorama, but also some issues).

In panorama mode, the camera is still nowhere nearly as smooth as the iPhone 5 camera, and it does not adjust across shots, so if you start the panorama in a darker area and pan to a lighter area, the lighter area will be blasted out (the Chinese apk was the same).

Having said that, the K900 camera is still better than any other Android I've owed or played with - it's hard to beat the 1.8 aperture on this thing.

All in all, this ROM seems to work well, but so far I can't tell any differences from the earlier 603 version.
[Lenovo K900] josealbacete:

[Lenovo K900] Sw33t_Lov3r:
Spanish?

Why do they release an update with a language spoken in countries where the device hasn't even been announced for nor arrived yet? (I live in one; Peru. And want the K900! Xperia ZU is probably too big!)

Can this be a "base" for the upcoming more-improved International ROM?

Can this mean they are working on an international version which will be different from the Chinese one? O.o

It's annoying not to have even an official announcement so to know what to expect!

Btw, does this new update has Google Play (Gapps) "out of the box"?

Thanks!

Hello, everybody, the Forum released yesterday version 4.3, poor compatibility, Sorry for the inconvenience everyone.

We are currently working to improve the version 4.3, but will also provide VIBE ROM ST1403_7 today's OTA card brush package, there is a need to brush back 4.2 music powder used.

Third-party applications based on the latest Google NDK application written, x86 support third-party applications on the market has been relatively weak;

K900 is the Intel x86 architecture platform, so there will be some part of ARM applications running on x86 architecture issues,

The main solution is to improve and optimize intel with the middle layer, continuing to patch the system to solve,

Version 4.2 has been gradually improving, but just out of 4.3 version also requires continuous improvement, we are now fully solve these problems, let everyone spend handy version 4.3 as soon as possible.

5 A; p1 O 'Q # _7 q2 l + F + n% t

If you want to brush back the 4.3 version 4.2, you can use ST1403 stable version of the package, the version number (VIBEROM_V1.0_1403_7_ST_K90), brother of the knife postings can be found
