I tried to disable zram directly from kernel auditor but its a no go. If I slide the slider all the way to the left so that I have 0MB in zram, phone Freeze's and get back to default setting which is 510MB if I'm not mistaken. So I guess is hardcoded in kernel somehow.

THanks for the patch. Unfortunately WAAS support is not enabled.

Previous granted apps working. But new apps doesn't play with root. You have to set "grant for all" setting. :/

Why is recomended to change region code and what user get or lose with changing region code ? Is OK for average EU user to not change any ?

Is the k3 note Stagefright vulnerable :confused:

Info : Stagefright is a critical Android vulnerability. It allows hackers to get system or media privileges of your device when your device is processing an MMS, without need of any end-user action. To make matters worse, MMS can delete itself before you open it.

Download from google play store this app : Stagefright Detector App

and share with us the different results of different roms;)
[K3 Note General] mickey78:
Logically they should all be vulnerable considering this bug was just discovered. ?

I've installed the cuoco rom, it works very good. Got only two problems maybe someone can give his/her thoughts about it:

I get the error com.android.settings has stopped while adding widgets and sometimes when clicking settings items.

Whatsapp needs to be open/ running to receive messages.

For now I haven't did a factory reset or cache removal. I've setup everything for my wife and it's her business phone. Resets are my last resort at the moment. So if any other suggestions (or confirmation from other users), they are welcome :)
[K3 Note General] surfthesummer:
Could you share the modified ROM with us please? Or a patch to flash under recovery would be even better :)

I also cannot remove some preinstalled apps like du battery, beautiful widgets, nova launcher etc. I can freeze them with titanium but cannot uninstall them completely. For example, i have purchased Titanium backup but cannot install the one from the play store, because of the preinstalled version. I googled it and it seems that the problem is the multi user account feature in Lollipop - seems like I can uninstall the app just for the user account i'm logged in, but it still stays somewhere deep in the system for other users :). Obviously there is a way to remove those preinstalled apps completely - using adb, but i don't feel comfortable using those adb commands. There should be an easier way to do this within the phone only...
[K3 Note General] meangreenie:
I wouldn't know how to make rom.. Could prob do a twrp backup, not sure if it would work properly though, and getting the phone from my son isn't easy for any length of time.

You can grab the 1529 st boot.img from that rom and flash it with the flashify app. It's very easy as long as you have root. Then replace the thermal files with root explorer, u can also use root explorer to disable apps in the system too, like du battery, i just renamed them .apa to stop them after a reboot.

As for the L speed tweaks, there's an uninstall zip in its thread here on xda.. xdaforums.com/android/software-hacking/tweak-l-speed-v1-0-02-02-2015-t3020138 .. After you can check the etc/init.d folder for any left over scripts, though leave the supersu one there. Wether it's best to leave these scripts i don't know, but i like to run a clean as possible rom.

Last i installed 'trickster' app and disabled the zram there, it appears to work. You can have it set to turn off on boot with that app too.

Sorry i can't make an easy zip, i just don't know how.
[K3 Note General] cegevara:
Very strange, I think is better ROW s112 (with ota upgrade it would be s114) then last ROW s 117.

After ROW s117 installation I have just 8gb free space (on ROW s112/s114 it is cca 10gb) and get much more pre installed aplication and much for Russian region while I did not change any...also antutu is better on s112 compared with s117.

How to explain all of this ?
[K3 Note General] dmnrmr:
You can't get russian applications if your region is not RU. And I can't comment on performance.
[K3 Note General] surfthesummer:
Thanks a lot for the quick reply. Well, I did a search from Root explorer for one of the preinstalled apps - in this case Titanium backup - and deleted all traces of the app, but I still couldn't install the Play store version - it gives me an error that an incompatible version of the app already exists on the phone...

As of the 1529 kernel I'd really appreciate if you could share just the file with us or if you email it to surfthesummer@gmail.com
[K3 Note General] cegevara:
I installed with flash tool this last ROW s117 from this https://cloud.mail.ru/public/Gtnz/Q8mvWURNH

Nothing changed, I have much Russian app preinstalled on first turn on.

Just look, this ROM is almost 2X bigger then ROW s112 from same site.

I compared antutu results it is higher on s112.

If You have some other ROW s117 or newer, please post link here.
[K3 Note General] dmnrmr:
I assume you downloaded the build of s117 which is by default with RU region and some tweaks. If you install s112 ROW and then upgrade to 117 via OTA you won't see those apps.
[K3 Note General] cegevara:
No, it is not with RU region, it is official ROW s117.

@ kasvet-efza is uploaded this link http://akilli.be/forum/konu-k3-note-root-multilanguage-rom-google-play-cwm-recovery-imei-repair

where You can see that have 2 ROW official versions, s112 and s117 and both have same content (written in brackets).

I would be very happy to return to the ROV s112 but it can not be updated online to S117, it can just be updated on s114. After finished updating on s114 then published a message that I have the latest version. Only if the code change makes it possible ...?
[K3 Note General] dmnrmr:
I don't know exactly what you want from me, but if you flash this initial 112 version via flash tool: https://cloud.mail.ru/public/7RTL/N474YBKte, and don't root and don't flash recovery, you should be able to update via ota to 117 version.
[K3 Note General] cegevara:
Friend I don't want anything from You, this is community forum and we write about all.

I wrote You very clear that when I installed ROW S112 and update it, I had S114, after that NO any updates ! It can not be upgraded to S117 from some reason. Which ?

I do not know and because it I write here. And if someone from colleagues have clear ROW s117 version, please post it here because version from link which I posted above is not clear ( 1,8 GB !) and have much additional apps, specially Ru.
[K3 Note General] dmnrmr:
Sorry, I don't know why you have this problem. You can try and flash this cmw/twrp flashable 117 build https://yadi.sk/d/Vv22C6Ifhzpzz
[K3 Note General] cegevara:
It is RUS version if I look well in describe. However, thanks for try.
[K3 Note General] belmethos:
This should be clean version of s117. I have NOT tried it , i updated from 112 to 117 with ota. and downloaded 112 from the same topic.

[K3 Note General] jerasimo:
S117 is canceled!

The reason why you cant update to s117 is becouse lenovo canceled the update, after so many indian users reported bugs in it and even started to return phones to flipkart for replacement. So be patient for some days, as they are talking about some a new and this time nice update.

quick question, how do you flash the DEV rom found from vibeui.com ?

I'm wanting to try the chinese rom.
[K3 Note General] k@iserex:
Whit SP flash tool for pure stock Lenovo ROM, or trough CWM/TWRP, for this method you have to be rooted and have custom recovery installed. Then head over to index thread and download latest dev ROM and flash it. In both cases you should really know what you are doing.
[K3 Note General] aariss:
Use cwm/twrp...
[K3 Note General] rockuman_ex:
Downloaded the rom from vibeui.com unzipped it, open flashtool and selected the scatter file found in the rom.

But got error.

I'm pretty sure you can't flash the official rom using twrp or cwr, no?
[K3 Note General] surfthesummer:
Thanks, I managed to download 1529st rom and extract the boot.img last night. I flashed it with flashify but the kernel version is still the same. Was it supposed to change at all? I uninstalled the LSpeed mode using the Terminal Emulator and so far so good. Phone is definitely running no worse than before. Gone are the occasional lags/touch screen problems while browsing with Opera (I usually keep 20+ tabs open). Btw anyone knows a better browser with text reflow?

I"ll try now to change the attached tp files as well.

I found the preinstalled apps and deleted them, but unfortunately that wasn't enough - there are still traces of them buried somewhere deep in the rom :).

Let's see now how battery life goes - I was consistently getting close to 6hrs screen on time (web browsing with auto brightness) with the LSpeed mode installed.
[K3 Note General] k@iserex:
Cant help you whit SPflash tool as I have never used it myself, I always use custom recovery. That said you could go to index thread and download some of the prepacked zips, including 1529 ROM so that you can flash it whit custom recovery like TWRP which you can find in the same index thread. As for your question, no you can't flash official stock ROM downloaded directly from Lenovo using CWM/TWRP as this is only possible whit stock recovery and that recovery is provided whit unrooted vannila ROMs. You could flash stock recovery but you will not be able to use it I traditional way, you have to use SPflash tool, maybe thats the course of your errors, in the sence that SPtool can't do the actual flash cos there is no stock recovery on your phone. Do yourself a favore and just download prepacked zip of ROM you like and flash away if you have custom recovery in the first place.
[K3 Note General] ftechno:
hi friends , after trying the Vibe UI 1529 ST Rom . i want try a AOSP Rom. so what is the most stable AOSP custom rom with minimum bugs ?

thanks
[K3 Note General] rockuman_ex:
Yes, I know that, and if I do that, I wouldn't be able to get any OTA, thus preventing me from testing the latest DEV ROM.

And yes, I also know that. That's the reason why I asked, how to flash the stock chinese rom with spflash tool.

I have stock at the moment (Indian ROW ROM), unrooted etc.

And this is where you are wrong. You use SPFlash tool to flash roms or recoveries that are made for SPFlash tool. This includes the stock ROW rom (and others). It doesn't matter if you have custom recoveries or not. If you choose to overwrite your current recoveries, you can.

This is why I asked here. I don't want to use custom roms or recoveries. I wanted to test the chinese rom.

Anyone know how to go back to official chinese rom? Basically, I want to go back to STOCK chinese.

Thank you

Now you have chinese official rom.

how to enable it plss some one solve this
[K3 Note General] hackerpower:
try the new 5.1 lemonade, it's super fast!

So many wrong things you just wrote.

The official vibeui roms are all to be flashed via recovery, you just have to edit updater-script to flash them via custom recovery. Then inside the rom you can choose to update to the latest stable release or switch to development release. The custom/official indian sort of row roms, those are the only one's that are to be flashed via spflash tool. Of course there are many sp flash tool chinese roms out there, but they were all tampered with, like the one's that came originally in our phones.

BTW all my twrp backups have fully working ota.

Will I need to do a complete wipe before restoring a back-up through twrp?
[K3 Note General] hackerpower:
When i say OTA (Over the air update) works, i mean you can download the update through the built in app. Now to be able to flash it you'll have to edit updater script on VibeUI roms or be unrooted and have stock recovery on row rom.

You already know this guys, come on...

Which one you like better, depending on what you have you'll have to edit or not the updater-script.

There isn't any yet.

No need when you restore a backup the recovery automatically wipes and formats the partitions. Just read the log when you restore.

[K3 Note General] rockuman_ex:
... they way you said it, you were implying that you can OTA with custom recovery.... :rolleyes:

And which part of my statement was wrong? You can't flash official rom (not TWRP backup or other recovery backup) WITH custom recovery, period, unless you can prove me otherwise.

Link please.
[K3 Note General] mickey78:
Yeah sorry we may not be going at the same speed. So just to be clear what you are saying is that if we use your 1529 or 1532 Twrp backups the built in Ota will work and you will be able to update without losing all your stuff over and over as long as we edit the update script inside the Ota download?

Hey guys,

My phone has kind of scrolling lag at times, like I try to scroll and it registers a touch. Sometimes there's aisi a lag with the Google keyboard. The phone occasionally hangs too even with lots of free RAM and at times it won't provide push notifications. Should I get a replacement?
[K3 Note General] k@iserex:
That is exactly what he says, and you have done it your self if you ever flashed stock ROM trough let's say TWRP. Now I don't know in what form does OTA delivers the files, in a .zip or else.
[K3 Note General] mickey78:
Also, usually when you get an OTA you only get a few MB depending, you don't get the whole ROM again.

What bugs me is where will those file be so we can edit them (and re-zip them?) then flash with TWRP.
[K3 Note General] k@iserex:
I'm not sure if its incremental or the whole ROM, never did OTA, I'll rather wait for a prepacked .zip or twrp backup and flash it the usual way. I prefer .zip file. Those updater script lines are the ones needed to be removed cos they are the ones that wnats to find the device and what not so TWRP will output errors cos custom recovery works a little different then stock one. If OTA files have scatter file in it I presume SPflash tool will be needed to flash OTA, but then again it could have stick recovery in it so it will overwrite custom one. I don't know if my logic is correct so I'm Rather wait for prepacked .zip file.
[K3 Note General] alexkit14:
If rooting and voiding warranty worries you, flashing your phone with SPFTool should worry you more.
[K3 Note General] hackerpower:
That seems to be a rom issue. Change it.

That is only the case in indian row rom in vibeui there are no tiny incremental updates. You can find those OTA .zips in my Index thread, no need to download them through OTA and then search for them. Updates never mess with your data.

BTW everyone is saying that S112 is better than the other 2 ota updates, although i don't like any of them.

Guys! I am getting totally sick of S117 ROW ROM. The push notifications are gone totally absurd and missing a lot of notifications on whatsapp, gmail etc etc.. And one more thing the lag while initial swiping is there and getting sick of it too.. Anyway i know there's gonna be an update soon on the ROW ROM and hope they fix these issues and improve the performance like Vibe UI 1529.. But I don't have any idea when they are gonna give the updates and i am losing patience on this ROW ROM.

SO! Which ROM has literally no bugs and smooth? If i am gonna flash it i dont want any notification issue.. and i dont want any lags in interface too.. Limonchelo 5.0 or 5.1 OR Vibe UI 1529 or anything else????
[K3 Note General] k@iserex:
Why are you beeing so worked out? Everything is on the table, you just have to take the cards and play it. No need to be fuzzed about. Read couple of pages back on each thread, flash the ROMs you consider right for you on founded information and test it out. Take matters in your own hands and be cool about it. That's the point when your on custom android system. Don't be that guy that just sits around, doing nothing and complain about everything. Do it, do it, go forward :) ?
[K3 Note General] shrihari123:
Dude what the hell man? I am never being worked out about anything.. I just told my opinion about a ROM.. Look back the previous posts and check out what I had to say about the ROM. After using it for a month I found certain bugs and that's all what I am saying.. I never fuzzed out or anything.. How could you take it like that? Yes I looked back previous posts to find out what people are saying and everyone has their own opinions right? So I just gave out a message asking what people had to say what ROM they feel is good for now so I could try it out when I am free.. I don't have that much time to take out all the ROMs here and try it out 1 by 1 to test it out week by week using it.. Sorry no offence. But I just wanted to know what people had to say that's it.

And I had to mention few issues in the ROM am using so people can know how the ROW ROM behaves and so they don't flash it nothing but to find issues.. That ain't complaining at all to me to be honest.

Ok i get that now.. Alright.. So to flash Vibe UI 1533 or any other ones which is getting released in future, i need to edit the updater script then flash it through twrp recovery.. Alright!

Update: Alright I got it now. Thanks. So i am able to find the updater script file here. After unzipping the folder --> META-INF-->com-->google--> android-->'updater-script'. So to flash the dev ROM i need to edit this script and then zip the folder again and flash it through twrp.. Right? This is how you do it?
