[Lenovo K900] Spariant:
OTA update on rooted phone

Hi I used a method mentioned on a Russian lenovo forum site to root my k920.... The phone was rooted fine and I'm running some xposed apps nicely... But I could not install the ota update... Has anyone been able to install the ota update on rooted vibe z2 pro? And I too request for a separate k920 thread... .

1.Awesome size and premium feel:

Coming from note 1 i actually found it to be sleeker. the cold metal feel is just awesome. IN a day i got adapted to one hand usage.

2. Awesome sceen:

Kudos to lenovo for fitting a 6 inch screen in a less than note 1 wide sized phone! the IPS LTPS display is amazing. Very very sharp bright and accurate. I never knew i would like IPS over SAMOLED. and whites are truly nice compared to amoled. Some people reviw it as having yellowish tint. I dint note any. Overall the best display i ever used.

Awesome display.

3. Awesome performance:

No lag. compared to note 1 its almost 5 times faster. No lg in switching between apps, coming to homescreen or scrolling lists. Images and web pages load fast and zooming in and out on chrome and images is superfast and smooth. Not much of a mobile gamer but asphalt 8 ran smooth.

4. Rootable ;)

5.Camera

I am a doctor. wanted a camera replacement for taking high quality pics of pre and post procedures and surgeries. Honestly my note 1 was a trustee friend. wanted something better and i got it. BUT BUT BUT maybe i was expecting too much or maybe the camera is not as good as it could have been going by what Note 4 promises. It uses the same sensor AZ galaxy s5 but the optics are lenovo's. The text pictures are super super clear. But for some reason i am not getting good photos (the clarity and detail in macro and other distant shots is lacking). Have fiddled with settings a lot to no use. Dunno if its an issue in my piece or in all but in the smart mode camera the smart scene detection is permanent off. I am not able to switch it on Could someone pls check in their phone and tell me? The second gripe is with the protruding lens at the back . i am afraid i might scratch it when place on a table. Planning to stick some support just under it to lift it up off the surface when lying on its back. Third gripe is it heats up too much when using flash. 4th and the most important thing is that OIS is switched on only when in dark. Shold not it be active always? There is no option to keep it on.

I can do with the protruding lens and the heating up. But dunno why the shots are not coming detailed. Is it the software, some hardware fault or simply my photography skills. Also if someone can tell me how to keep OIS on. As it matters a lot to get sharo shots with a little shaky hands to avoid blur.

I really need some help regarding this camera issues. If the lenovo team is reading this review pls guide me.

6. Developer support is poor. No XDA thread for this phone.

7. Notification LED is not RGB but only three colors.

8. The power button is a bit wobbly.

9. Charges fast and beleive me its my third day today on the first charge and still 20% left. and i am a moderately heavy user with camera web browsing and reading. Not much calls or gaming though.

Conclusion: The best dual sim premium phone

The most Value for money phone currently.

Good camera. Could have been better. but ok for the price. Would like to lay my hands on note 4 and compare. If your budget is less than 35k and want a phablet with the best screen to body ratio.go for it without thinking twice. If you can throw in more then wait for nexus 6 or note 4.

Will update if find anything more interesting.
