I don't have bad experience with VIBEUI_V2.5_1524, after I replaced the significant part of the system as usual and removed bloatware I feel that it is more stable than previous ones. I haven't notice larger consumption either. As I assumed TWRP (material one) from http://www.movilesdualsim.com/tema/twrp-espanol-2-8-6-0-para-k3.99361/ works better than CWM, if you accept Spanish, you can execute pretty much everything, including restore. Thank you Spanish devs, especially Xancin. Radio for you is attached. Just delete in system/apps/QuingTingRadio the original push lenovo one to that map and change permissions to rw-r-r and you're good to go.:D

No, VIBEUI_V2.5_1524_7.197.1_DEV_K50-T5 is development version. The latest stable version is: VIBEUI_V2.5_1522_5.882.1_ST_K50-T5_WCCD

Flash ROM then wipe userdata then boot directly without flashing gapps. When it's booted and ready reboot to recovery and install gapps with CWM/TWRP.

Hi guys, what do you think is there a chance Lenovo will bring a Lollipop 5.1.1 to K3 Note? I saw their timeline planning to update a bunch of phones/tablets, but only from KitKat 4.4 to Lollipop 5.0, no word for 5.1 yet.

Does anyone know if there's a way to fix the international prefix detection issue on AOSP V3?

The same issue existed also on stock...

[K3 Note General] rockuman_ex:
Can someone please list the apps/bloats that are safe to be removed from the official rom?

I lokelike the look of the official rom, bit don't like the bloatwarea that came with it.
[K3 Note General] _mfm_:
It doesn't exist on stock if you do Contacts -> Menu -> More features and settings -> More display features -> Number match bits (change this from 11 to 7).
[K3 Note General] aariss:
If u're on aosp rom, u can install "truecaller" frm play store...

Then go to settings :-

1) Preference > caller id > tick phone book contact

2) Search > auto search > off
[K3 Note General] netRAT:
That Number match bits option doesn't seem to be there on AOSP contacts app.

I'll give truecaller a go...but hoping this will get fixed on the firmware level in future updates...

In Sensation ROM LED notification for WhatsApp is working. I've tested it. Not sure but I think if you put in silent mode it doesn't work. Can anyone else confirm this? Also it seems a bit sluggish compared to AOSP but that might be just me being picky.
[K3 Note General] okahdidi:
Cwm too

Yup correct, just realized that i'm testing with silent mode...

Led for whatsapp is working now except for silent mode, no issuse with normal or vibrate mode...

Yup... AOSP more smooth n faster but i need these 2 functions :-

- screenshot n crop frm notif bar

- led for whatsapp

I can't even use my barclays banking app now either as it will only work on non rooted phones. I did unroot but you have to set it up each time and there is a 7 device limit so have to phone up to reset it. They must think I am strange as reset it 3 times this year already:D

Decided to not bother using that app now as just change phones and roms too often lol.

Only thing i don't like about the K3 is its build quality. Its not that solid and creaks etc but screen is lovely :)

mmm did you find AOSP to be smoother and faster than the stock VIBEUI?

trying to decide which rom i should stay with
[K3 Note General] waj1234:
Back on AOSP now as imo its the best so far. I prefer it to stock myself and battery is very good. Sticking with it for now as it just works.
[K3 Note General] rob4x4:
I've gone back to AOSP too.

I'm using Light Flow Lite app gives notification LED for email, and missed calls/msg.

To get it to work in the app settings you have to enable Direct Mode, Root Mode, and Run every command as root. You will only get the option of a solid green LED notification (no flashing) but its better than nothing.

Upgrade to the full version for Whatsapp notfiication etc (not tried it though.)

I plan to try xposed later and see if I can find a tap to wake or volume rocker wake that works.
[K3 Note General] blastoise91:
I think I will get back to AOSP too. Only problem is that soft keys are switched somehow. Recent apps are opend on one click to left key.

XPosed Framework and Gravity Box(LP) on AOSP v3

Getting Xposed Framework and Gravity Box to work on AOSP V3 http://www.movilesdualsim.com/tema/custom-rom-aosp-v2-anadida-revision-v3.101635/

all credit to Yulius and the rest at http://www.movilesdualsim.com/tema/f-a-q-puede-que-tu-duda-este-resuelta-aqui.103331/

and to the devs at XDA who have created it.

Theses are the steps I took (translated from the above site).

1. Download this APK to your phone and install it. (you will need to allow installation from unknown sources)

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3200857&d=1425849071

2. Download this .zip to your phone (don't run it yet)

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3292041&d=1430517906

2. Reboot phone into custom recovery

3. Flash the .zip you just downloaded in the custom recovery . Don't do any wipes before or after.

4. Reboot phone. Wait, it can take a few minutes to boot up.

5. Open Xposed framework app and install Gravity Box (LP) and tweak away!

I've only tried a few things so far like volume rocker wake, percentage battery icon, center clock, expanded volumes . All seems to work ok.

Hope this helps!

[K3 Note General] sinapcs:
Guys I couldn't post here because my posts number were under 10 and I was wondering why in this topic no one tells nothing about LiMoNcHeLo Rom?! I suggest you this rom! it's better than AOSP V3 which is using 50% of ram all time, games like GTA San Andreas have graphic issue on it, lower data signal compared to other roms and etc .

I tried 1523,1524,1525 stock roms , VibeUi abroad version , AOSP3, and now LiMoNcHeLo Rom.

I can say the last one is the best. It's smooth.no chinese app installed.and the best thing about this rom is it's ram usage.with 360 security app and enabling it's lock screen power saver it's using just 12% to 32% of rom. other roms I tested were used more than 40%. GAPPS is installed and it is rooted.

it's antutu benchmark is 45871.

notification led is works for whatsapp and telegram too.

I tried games like asphalt 8 and gta san andreas on this rom and they work without any problem.

and here is download link:

https://mega.co.nz/#!GtZGjaoL!9ZsUcb...r_gQ5njMNZhfHE

here is details translated by google translate :

Build restructured and added region for the time and LED notifications.

Walkman player to the music.

Video player changed.

Root 100%

Added Gapps 64bit (100% functional)

I was messing around with Amplify (I couldn't get it to work, since no wakelocks were being blocked) and I noticed that "com.system.analytics.cpa" was waking up the device at insane rate. (I'm talking about 3000 wakeup triggers in just 2 hours.) Also, I've never seen "com.system.analytics.cpa" in any AOSP rom. So I did not some googling and found out that it was some spyware that is loaded into many Chinese AOSP roms. The Spanish AOSP v3 rom was built from a Chinese AOSP v3 rom, so this makes sense.

You might want to install Xposed and Amplify and lookout for unusual behavior. While Amplify's blocking ability is not working, it still logs the wakelocks/wakeups/services.

Side note: anyone having issues with Amplify as well?

---------- Post added at 02:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:20 AM ----------

I didn't spend much time on lemonchelo ROM, but I do miss double tap to awake now that I'm on AOSP.

Quick question: does the Lenovo camera app on lemonchelo record videos correctly? I tried to flash the Lenovo camera on AOSP and there were tons of issues:

1) Front camera mode not consistent, crashes occasionally

2) Videos were recorded in 3gp format, not mp4

3) Videos using front camera was not in widescreen format, but instead 4:3 aspect ratio.
[K3 Note General] waj1234:
On Lemonchelo the front camera is in widescreen. It does not crash and does record in mp4 so all seems fine. I have been on AOSP for a week and this is so much better, can't believe I did not try it sooner! Its just smoother even though AOSP seemed so too. Led works and double tap and its just a good mix.
[K3 Note General] okahdidi:
Which led application can I install that will work perfectly with this aosp ROM?
