Ultimate power is some kind of shortcut for Mode options in Lenovo power, but with the feature to have black screen with blue letters.

I like it, I hope that somebody will give us that app in standalone ver, but for now I can manage that state of phone manualy.

Anyone else think the Vibe x ROM looks a bit like MIUI?

ALSO, does it support themes and weather widget skinning?

Coded from a Clover Trail+ Machine!
[Lenovo K900] raymondtong94:
it is totally similar to MIUI.

as for the theme, the theme packs along with the weather widget skinning, changing all the icons too.

EDIT : anyone know how to uninstall those remaining bloatwares like Baidu Music? im using Vibe V6 Beta 2 and after flashed the rooted img, the Baidu Music isnt removed as well.

[Lenovo K900] MacGuy2006:
I finally received my K900 from JD :)

Two days shy of a month since I ordered, and only after I requested that the order be cancelled. Then they actually overnighted it! But I had paid for expedited shipping anyway, so....

But it is here (and another on the way, as I had placed an order with a different vendor as I expected to cancel the JD one).!

It arrived with the retail box opened, but otherwise everything looks O.K.. I would assume that it was done by customs. Or by JD, to make sure that the device boots, in which case I appreciate it

Now, I quick question: When I plug it in, it asks to run bootstrapper.exe. I didn't see anyone mention it here, so does anyone know what it is?
[Lenovo K900] ajftl:
Is it running the Chinese rom? Mine didn't do that
[Lenovo K900] MacGuy2006:
Yep. If I fired it up, it has Chinese buttons and it tries to install an unsigned driver....
[Lenovo K900] ajftl:
Wow no idea I know mine installed some Chinese language package but after booting up completely after a few install the international rom with all the Google apps
[Lenovo K900] zobbii:
Hi,

I have been following this thread since the beginning, i got my k900 3 weeks ago. This phone is the nuts!

I wanted to thank everyone contributing to this thread, I sadly don't have much experience yet with android/rooting/flashing etc. beside updating android on an old zenithink tablet.

So I'm quite happy that i didnt brick my phone by following the instructions posted by Cyman :good:

Now my questions are -

What do i gain by flashing the international 47 ROM posted by olegfusion :good:

I'm not sure what i can do with this files and what steps to follow could someone please give me any advice?

Do I have to follow all the instructions he posted?

Will this solve the issues i'm having with apps that are said to be not compatible with my device?

Anyone got whatsapp running on k900?

I'd like to do a tutorial with pictures might help guys like me :confused:

Any help is highly appreciated!
[Lenovo K900] Sw33t_Lov3r:
Clover Trail+ versus ARM, the results may surprise you.

Have you guys seen this already?

http://www.pcper.com/news/General-Tech/Clover-Trail-versus-ARM-results-may-surprise-you

What do you think about it? n.n

It doesn't surprise me that much. I knew the Intel powered K900 was going to make history, a second generation Intel processor beating several generations of processors makers.

The Razr i was just a little warning... Haha

I hope you enjoy the "news".

- L.

Pd: I hope this makes Lenovo hurry up and release the international version! No Snapdragon 800 will make me give up on this phone *-*
[Lenovo K900] MacGuy2006:
Yep, not sure what it was attempting to run, since I already had all the drivers installed in accordance with Cayman's instructions.

For curiosity, I am attaching a pic of the ROM version. It had not a trace of English on it :)

Anyway, after flashing Oleg's ROM based on his instructions, everything works and no more unsigned "bootstrapper.exe" rearing its head and trying to install itself on my PC.

Overall, I like the phone, although it's probably a little bigger in my hand than I actually imagined -- I'll probably be used to it soon.

I slapped a cheap Baseus case (http://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/235418903.html) and it works very well.

Installed GO Launcher with the Tersus theme (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kov.theme.tersus&hl=en) and it works well.

The camera is pretty good, most of the shots appear to be at 1.8, which presumably helps a bit with noise and jitter. The panorama feature is vertical, like on the iPhone, which is great, but it is much slower and more finicky -- plus it seems to have trouble if the scene has both bright and dark areas.

- The only app that doesn't work for me is Omega Status Bar (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.calsto.omega.statusbar.pro&hl=en -- I never learned to like the stock Android status bar). If anyone knows of a good alternative, please let us know. For now, I am simply hiding the bar.

- The Auto Brightness seems to have a mind of its own and it doesn't adjust the brightness very well - mostly stays on the rather dim side. Anyone else with this problem?

- The compass seems to be consistently off by about 20 degrees. Air-painting "8s" doesn't seem to help all that much.

Now, kind of a lame question: I've never been had a great need to root, normally had to do it on problem-prone phones (like two old Samsung Galaxies). Never really needed it on my old Galaxy Nexus.

So far, this phone seems fine with the stock ROM from Oleg's post, I am wondering if there is any specific compelling reason that I am missing for rooting it. Any thoughts?

P.S. Just in case anyone else is interested, there is no FM Transmitter, like for example on the HTC One. I was hoping for this feature, so that I don't have to deal with plugs when streaming through my car audio system, but nope. Strange that it doesn't since the chip can most likely do it and I doubt that most cars in Chana have A2DP capable audio systems.
[Lenovo K900] upcompu:
Hi I have Lenovo K900 2 days. Its great phone ;). It is normal that the phone is really by using warm?

ok will do with the stock chinese rom...

[update] 1080p played flawlessly.
[Lenovo K900] MacGuy2006:
OK, I've set new K900 (sort of) to my liking.

I was able to find a status bar solution: Super Status Bar (https://play.google.com/store/apps/...nk.ssb&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd) with the iStatusbar iOS 7 theme (https://play.google.com/store/apps/...yLDEsInNzYi5hZGRvbi5qbmRldmouaXN0YXR1c2JhciJd) did the trick. You can see the result in the attached screengrab :)

Couple of questions:

- I tried transferring my SMS and MMS from my old Galaxy Nexus (using stock Google Android 4.2.2 messages app) to the K900. The problem is that it did not import in threaded format, but pretty much all of my SMS/MMS are in one looong conversation :( Can't tell who is who. Any suggestions how to fix this? --- [UPDATE: I was successful exporting my SMS/MMS as XML with Titanium Backup and it imported into the Lenovo app threaded! (Got the idea to try it from http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=33329151&postcount=8)]

- One outstanding issue: Has anyone figured out how to do push email with the email app that comes with the K900? All I see in the settings is to check from every 5 minutes to every hour, no push :(
[Lenovo K900] bobr76:
For me push works perfectly with Gmail account and my business account. Which email account are you trying to enable with push?
[Lenovo K900] mac231us:

[Lenovo K900] amoyan:
other way around. Lenovo bought IBM's PC business ... They also sold this mobile business for a song before buying it back a year later for a whole lot more
[Lenovo K900] MacGuy2006:
I am using the stock Email client which came with the stock international ROM linked by Oleg earlier. Not even rooted.

Using a couple of GMail accounts, as well as a couple of regular IMAP ones.

Is there a specific "Push" setting that you guys have?

On another note, how is the voice quality for everyone? I got a couple of people telling me that I sound muffled (just switched to the "brighter" microphone setting, so we'll see).

Also, when I answer a call, it shows that Speaker is on, but it's not, and I can't turn it on by toggling the "Speaker" button. I can turn the speaker on when making calls, though (although the speaker seems pretty quiet). Anyone else experiencing this?
[Lenovo K900] ransagy:
I'm considering replacing my Note II with this device as well. Nice to see that there is some info on the general usage of things and that flash tools and root is already available.

Does anyone have any idea what is Intel/Lenovo's stance on open source? If they published the kernel sources as per GPL? I'd expect an average chinese maker to dodge this, But not Intel/Lenovo. Maybe because its only for certain markets right now.

EDIT: saw that there's a new ROM from 10/06/2013 on the needrom site (http://www.needrom.com/phone-roms/lenovo/k900/). Anyone tested that?
