Sounds like a boot image, boot picture, but bootimg is applying to kernel which is boot.img, but I don't believe this line is about kernel. Let's hear from Vonuzu or HP :) I'm also interested in flashing new version. Hey thanks [MENTION=3639565]vonuzu[/MENTION] for FB messenger fix ?
[K3 Note General] mickey78:
I'm surprise you didnt try yourself... yet? :)
[K3 Note General] k@iserex:
Yeah well not yet but I'm thinking to do some dirty flashing tonight :)
[K3 Note General] vonuzu:
Hey guys.. This is what the updater script should look like in order to flash via TWRP:

show_progress(0.750000, 0);
ui_print("Patching system image unconditionally...");
block_image_update("system", package_extract_file("system.transfer.list"), "system.new.dat", "system.patch.dat");
show_progress(0.050000, 5);
assert(package_extract_file("boot.img", "/tmp/boot.img"),
write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img", "bootimg"),
delete("/tmp/boot.img"));
assert(run_program("/system/bin/dd", "if=/dev/zero", "of=/proc/driver/mtd_writeable", "bs=3", "count=1"));
assert(package_extract_file("logo.img", "/tmp/logo.img"),
write_raw_image("/tmp/logo.img", "logo"),
delete("/tmp/logo.img"));
assert(package_extract_file("uboot.img", "/tmp/uboot.img"),

Make lot of sense. I'm gonna try to jump from hacker's 1532 twrp backup to 1533 and see...
[K3 Note General] sa1105:
VIBEUI_V2.8_1533_7.172.1_DEV_K50-T5 NOT Install

i install

VIBEUI_V2.8_1533_7.172.1_DEV_K50-T5

twrp

Titanium Backup not work anymore, i cannot restore anything

a lot Apps are not compatible with device???? cannot install from store

with 1532 no Problem

i upgrad from 1532 to 1533

restore to 1532 and everythig is ok

No connection to PC

i tried twice
[K3 Note General] mickey78:
That statement may not be entirely true. At least not for me.

I went from hackerpower's TWRP backup of 1532 with gapps installed.

Then I flashed 1533 with the modified updater-script, reboot and let it do the upgrade

Then I flashed gapps (zero), reboot

Then I flashed root, reboot

Besides some crapware installed, All seems good will report a little later.
[K3 Note General] k@iserex:
I presume all your apps whit data are preserved right? Or is data erased?
[K3 Note General] mickey78:
All was preserved.. Unfortunately now my notifications seems off right now, not sure if it's the ROM or the transition between the 2 or my configs....

UPDATE: a few hours later and some more testing I was not able to get notification working, at least nbot for my INBOX/GMAIL. I revert back to my previous backup on 1532 all is good.

Anyone else experience same thing?
[K3 Note General] vonuzu:
Everything good here. Did you check here?
[K3 Note General] mickey78:
Yeah I had same thing exept keyguard.

currently on 1532 Keyguard is not ON either and everything works.
[K3 Note General] mickey78:
I hate to say this but I ended up going back to Limonchelo NovaMod which is my lifetime favorite as of now. Fight versus notification on 1532 and 1533 killed my patience.

I guess I'm also getting used to the AOSP experience and maybe I like it more than Vibe. I will wait and see what you guys end up with.
[K3 Note General] Bolumstar:
What is the most stable rom (offical) that has English

Language with little or no China language that I

Should flash. Just bought the phone for my and she liked

It but the China apps and bloat ware is annoying.

I bought through Aliexpress and my came with

VIBEUI_V2.5_1512_5.495.1_ST_K50 with no OTA update

I tried to download another rom and flash it successfully

With flash tool but unfortunately it was

VIBEUI_V2.5_151_5.444.1_ST_K50 still without OTA and

Worst bloatware

So please advice.
[K3 Note General] stephendt0:
Probably Limenchelo's Novamod 5.0 ROM. It's pretty good. I kinda wish it was updated to 5.1 though - I suspect they're waiting until 5.1 is stable.

I can see VibeUI 2.8 1533 DEV ROM is out now. [MENTION=5106992]hackerpower[/MENTION] which one of these would you consider to be better?
[K3 Note General] anonymous nandi:
Can I dirty flash vibe ui 3.0 1602 on 1553 without any wipes?
[K3 Note General] emptywordsss:
Yes you can mate
[K3 Note General] Armageddonn_mkd:
So i just download the OTA package 1553 to 1602 and install it via twrp and that is that? Do i need to reinstall gapps afterwards?
[K3 Note General] jackgerald:
Didn't i tell you, NOT OTA, download the full package and dirty flash it over your current 1553 dev, and then reboot to system and again reboot to recovery and flash gapps.
[K3 Note General] vonuzu:
You can OTA update only if you have the stock recovery.

With custom twrp flash full rom, and after that gapps and everything else that you want.
[K3 Note General] ran011:
You must download full package 1602, dirty flash, reboot, gapps install, reboot, supersu flash, reboot and xposed install if you use xposed
[K3 Note General] Armageddonn_mkd:
Alright and if i want clean install i just wipe everything besides internal storage and sd storage correct?
[K3 Note General] ran011:
Correct and all others is in order describe above [emoji4] and you are free to wipe internal storage also if rom file is on sd card
[K3 Note General] Armageddonn_mkd:
Well if its not needed to wipe internal storage than i dont see the point of wiping it and loosing all photos and everything and than spending time copying everything back.
[K3 Note General] ran011:
You are right but I save all photos and documents on sd card [emoji4]
[K3 Note General] ftechno:
hi is the latest micro opengapps crash on 1602 dev rom ?
[K3 Note General] jackgerald:
Hey, Nope it doesn't, I'm using the latest one :)
[K3 Note General] EpicSauce:
It would be great if you are able to contribute to development of this ROM. I've been using it since beta 1 and generally happy with it, about to flash the latest beta which hopefully addresses some issues I've noticed.

I'm sure the source information needed is out there somewhere. XDA member helnandez visits here from time to time and is in contact with Kaka who has done the recent work on CM for the K3 note. He would be a good person to contact to get a conversation going.
[K3 Note General] hackerpower:
Sometimes i dirty flash and flash gapps and everything is ok, other times it doesn't work. I need to do a clean flash in order for gapps to work. This time i had to do a clean flash.
[K3 Note General] TheDarkKnight:
All the ROMs I know of are ported. [MENTION=5957948]helnandez[/MENTION] Can you please see if there's any source built ROM on the Chinese forums?? Google Translate is very unreliable. :(
[K3 Note General] Armageddonn_mkd:
I am using the 1553 vibe ui and how come the acu weather lock screen notification and also all notifications are lost when i close the app in the tasks, on the row rom they still stayed on the lockscreen and also on the status bar but on the vibe ui 3.0 1553 they disappear once i close the app in the task,any way this can be fixed?

So does led notifications work on 1602? Since on 1553 they don't work, they don't work for facebook and viber.
[K3 Note General] GeekyDroid:
That's actually a pretty good idea. We do not have a custom kernel for our device. Unfortunately was never into kernel development, but I guess I can find my way into it. Thank you for the great idea.

Thanks for the helpful post!
[K3 Note General] TheDarkKnight:
Thanks :victory: Glad to help :o

Here's a kernel for Yu Yureka (codename: tomato), which has similar specs but different SOC (Snapdragon, so I don't think this will of any help, but still): http://xdaforums.com/yureka/orig-development/kernel-thunderzap-2-0-custom-gestures-t3035780

Nicw kernel. Source is available.

P.S.: If only I could learn how to develop :rolleyes: Can you tell me where I can start if I want to be a dev?? :cyclops: I only know VERY basic C++. That makes everything worse.
[K3 Note General] GeekyDroid:
You should look for some Tutorials. Here is one as an example: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1748297. Of course there are many more tutorials regarding this. But you should get used to work with linux distros. There are many out there so install a distro you think it fits your benefits on a partiton, hard drive or VM. Good luck, friend.

EDIT: To be honest I know basic C, C# and nothing more. C# and C++ as nearly the same but still I have to learn many things until I can call myself as a developer. I think I haven't built anything for about a year or so, so I need to get used to all this stuff again. I'm almost a beginner. :)

Yes, but they're very easy to uninstall.

You can't, just use swiftkey, google keyboard or other.

[K3 Note General] stone_henge:
The LED notification does WORK on 1553. I can assure you as I'm on 1553 right now and using it for almost a week. But like all previous roms, the notification LED does not support facebook or other apps than some default ones.

And I intend to flash 1602 today. I am quite certain the LED notification is gonna work on that too.

Official roms always retain the hardware functions. If you have trouble with something in official roms, it's very likely that you uninstalled some necessary system app by mistake.

Hello sorry for the dumb question but how can I select a silent notification in vibe ui? I want only vibrate in notification and sms. Tks
[K3 Note General] jackgerald:
Hey there,

Np, just pull down the notification bar and tap on ringer, it then turns to silent, which is vibrate mode :)
[K3 Note General] zbrix:
Thanks buddy but i don't want to silence everything i want only to have no sound on notifications and sms.
[K3 Note General] jackgerald:
Silence everything except calls, messages :)
[K3 Note General] stone_henge:
Pull down the quick settings over notification tray and:

Make the ringer to silent,

And enable vibration.

See the attached screenshot. The two white icons are the settings what you need to set.

Also, if any of these two icon is missing, press on 'more' and add them.
[K3 Note General] zbrix:
Ok but just what i want is to silence notifications and sms[emoji20]

---------- Post added at 12:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:22 PM ----------

Ok tks but isnt realy that what i want like said in previous posts.
[K3 Note General] stone_henge:
Okay, if you wanna silent ONLY and ONLY sms and notifications, just set a blank audio clip as sms alert and notification alert. If you are not sure how to aquire a blank audio clip, search google for one, or just record one second of nothing but silence.
[K3 Note General] zbrix:
Ok my friend thanks for the tip. Problem solved. [emoji106]
[K3 Note General] Armageddonn_mkd:
Yeah they do work but sadly not for facebook,viber since the chinese apparently don't give a **** about facebook or viber, the thing that bothers me is that they can make it work, since they made it work with the row rom but decided not to make it work for the dev roms because apparently they don't think people outside of china can flash and use that rom....
[K3 Note General] AdamDevlopper:
Well, last time i compiled the Kernel and got also everything clean and good but the kernel didn't booted on any Android ROM the kernel is for 5.0.2 that lenovo provided us from there page. I installed it and it was lie freezed and got reboot reboot at the boot splash NOT the BootAnimation i dont know what i did wrong i got " Image " file not zImage so i was quite worried "make zImage" didnt help a bit. I renamed it to zImage and flashed it via Fastboot but ended with Kernel Freezing.

EDIT:

also our Camera has biiiiiiiig things that Lenovo didn't work on it. Like for example our Camera can record at 120FPS Slow Motion. Our camera can record at 60FPS in Full HD also our camera can record at 4K. Here you see : http://www.ovt.com/download_document.php?type=sensor&sensorid=176 And here is the proof that what the OV13850 Lens : http://www.devicespecifications.com/de/model/06dd3354 Scroll to Camera Section.
[K3 Note General] jordandroid64:
Yes, that will ne good if someone could try to speak with lenovo to API camera 2 .

And else anyone as try to add fonction at the camera with mod I have seen that on idol 3

Édit: I hope you will success with your custom kernel !
[K3 Note General] stephendt0:
It's a shame there are still no good ROMs for this device. They all have one fatal flaw or another - lag, bluetooth issues, Wi-Fi issues, cell reception issues, spyware/bloatware, or major features missing (Ie. quick settings on lockscreen of Androium).

Can someone point me to an AOSP that is clean, fully functional and stable? Starting to think it's impossible. So many ROMs and none of them are quite right :(

noob here :) need help please

i have now the VIBEUI V2.5 1524 rotted with gapps but also some chinese staff i cant delete , if i install the VIBEUI V3.0 1602 rom do i need to install the gapps ?. and if yes which of all those you have listed there? i see also a lot that are in beta , are those better ? for example

Slim_ADD-ON-5.1-MULTI_DPI-20151228.zip

Slim_mini_gapps.BETA.5.1.build.0.x-20151104.zip

thank you very much for your time friends.

Yes. Flash the ROM, boot in to the OS, reboot into custom recovery, then flash gapps

Default Lock Screen

Hello guys,

I'm using 1552_DEV with xposed, and I'm wondering if it would be possible to have official Android lockscreen instead of VIBEUI's. (widgets don't work)

Any ideas?
[K3 Note General] TheDarkKnight:
The third default theme's (as in ST 1544... It has a Chinese name, so can't name it) lock screen is close to Stock LP's.. But it doesn't support widgets either. Lollipop has removed widget support in lockscreen, unless I'm mistaken.
[K3 Note General] vonuzu:
Try to install a third party lockscreen from the play store. It works but I didn't like it.
[K3 Note General] DanielDEV:
Janury Vibeui 3.0 (android 5.1)

April Vibeui 3.0(or newer | android 6.0)
[K3 Note General] vonuzu:
That's for the stable version, the dev versions will be sooner.
[K3 Note General] stone_henge:
You read my mind. Was also thinking that dev version should come with Android6 sooner...
[K3 Note General] sachin.gokhale:
Facing strange problem on VIBE Dev 1602 with Modem of 1544. After receiving a call and once call is complete, E /H+ signs of internet goes missing even internet speed also goes missing. Interesting all net based application still do have internet connectivity. If I switch on and off Airplane mode then everything is back to normal. Not sure why it is happening ? It never happened with any earlier Dev ROM with modem of 1544.
[K3 Note General] stone_henge:
Actually that's the very idea of a DEV rom - you have to expect that there should be bugs. Moreover, as you are using modem from a different rom version, it's very likely that the rom will act weird.

Anyway, I think the 1602 DEV rom has some huge technical changes, for which reason, they jumped from 1553 to 1602.
[K3 Note General] hackerpower:
1602 here with original modem and no R signs.
[K3 Note General] sachin.gokhale:
Without modem of 1544 it does show R sign for me. I even tried Build.prop edit of en and IN. Still there was R sign after reboot.

Hence flashed 1544 modem. But it has started giving this hiding E / H+ and connection speed hiding error.

---------- Post added at 06:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:44 PM ----------

Is it possible to hid R sign with use of Xposed ?

and how can re-install 1602 modem without flashing whole ROM?
[K3 Note General] eSiAm:
Hi im Use 1602 to ... and Make a fix Package for This Problem ...

for Download Link PM ME ...
[K3 Note General] hackerpower:
Yes it's possible to hide the R sign with gravity box module in xposed but the problem is that when you have the R sign you won't be able to use data on that sim as reported by other users.

The R sign appeared to me one time on the 2nd sim GSM, i went to sim settings, disabled the sim, enabled it and gone! It never appeared again since.
[K3 Note General] sachin.gokhale:
"Make a fix package" Means ?
[K3 Note General] robterza:
Dial keyboard input within #### 9535 # open a key "feedback", use the drop-down quick setting icons, you can use the bug and you experience problems encountered during the appeal submitted by two forms, it will be better to solve your problem! :silly:

---------- Post added at 10:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:02 PM ----------

It is not a big skip! They gave the rom after a week.

It works like this: example 1553: 15 is the year, and 53 is the last week of the year.

So 1602: 16 is the year and 02 is the week. Now they jumped 01, that was the first week of January(04-10) and they released the rom 1602.

So i think next week (11-17) they will not realese or they will release 1603, that is not the right week (chinese are strange :D)How do i knows this? Because I've been watching, and with the help of a chinese forum I understand the mechanism. I also did a program to download the update DEV, and OTA in a easy way. I posted the video here, on some page back, but I think I made a mistake, because the chinese read this forum, and some after they added 6 variables at the end of the zip file for a total of 8. Now its impossibile to calculate anymore. :(
[K3 Note General] eSiAm:
I made fix package & Send Download Link to you :fingers-crossed:
[K3 Note General] sachin.gokhale:
Fix package was cool, I have flashed it. till now no issues. :) Also there is no sign of 'R' sign. :)

Thank you again.
[K3 Note General] eSiAm:
YW ;)
[K3 Note General] panchalgl:
Please post the link of fixed package.
[K3 Note General] stone_henge:
That's soo much helpful, buddy! Thanks!

And about the 6 variable part... I think that's just a security key for every rom, so that anyone who doesn't know the very exact download link, won't be able to download the rom at all. They also stopped uploading the dev roms to this site a quite while ago: http://www.vibeui.com/vibeui/rom?key=K50

But anyway, when you mention "chinese forum", do you refer to this ? : http://bbs.ydss.cn/forum.php?mod=forumdisplay&fid=664&page=1&filter=author&orderby=dateline

Cause I've been watching it too! But due to google translate for chinese to english is a bit crappy, I need to take help from my guessing power a lot...

---------- Post added at 11:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:26 AM ----------

I just wanted to take a moment here to say that I've never experienced any 'R' sign at all from the beginning of using my K3 note. Not to mention that I flashed almost every stable and dev roms as soon as they come out, sometimes wiping entire memory before doing that, sometimes not. Flashed the roms sometimes using the official recovery, but most of the times using CWM or TWRP.

But one thing is that I've not installed xposed in my K3 note ever. Is there any connection between them?

And also, Robterza, could you please explain what exactly is the "feedback-switch" option as you mentioned here?:
[K3 Note General] eSiAm:
Send 2 U ;)
[K3 Note General] stone_henge:

default apps

hi guys , anyone knows how to find the default apps ? i want to make my ringopro the default sound app.

thank you in advance.
[K3 Note General] hackerpower:
I already had R sign without Xposed so no connection there, it must be from the country we are in.

But i just go to sim settings and disable/enable sim and the R sign is gone! Also i think it's worse if you use only 1 sim, i use 2 and the R sign when it appears it only appears on the 2nd sim. But after that fix it never appeared again.

K5 Note???

http://www.gizchina.com/2016/01/13/lenovo-k5-note-vs-xiaomi-redmi-note-3/
[K3 Note General] stone_henge:
Just search for "K5 note" in google. You will see tons of posts all about k5 note. But the fact is, all of them are just rumors and moreover, the rumors started around June-July 2015. :p So that is quite a while ago. And no official announcements about K5 note yet... at least not that I know of.

---------- Post added at 05:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:33 PM ----------

Hmm, that sounds about right. :good: Guess the "R" sign problem won't happen as long as I am in this country. But what about the ####9535# dial code? What does "feedback-switch" means? :confused:
[K3 Note General] TheDarkKnight:
That's just foolish!! Even more, they seem to be completely unaware of the existence of a K4 Note!!

http://www.gizchina.com/2016/01/13/lenovo-k5-note-tenaa/

QUOTE: The phone in these photos is believed to be the successor to the Lenovo K3 Note. In the official TENAA documents the phone is called the ‘Lenovo K52t38’ so the ‘Lenovo K5 Note’ sounds like a likely official name once it launches.

Don't know if they are pulling a prank on everyone or if it's just a mistake. [emoji23] gizchina.com used to be a reliable tech site.

So, i guess the bottom line is:

Lenovo K4 note is announced to be released within the next week, officially.

On the other hand, another smartphone prototype of lenovo is rumored to have the code model 'k52t38', which people are calling as Lelnovo K5, or Lenovo K5 note. Also, it is very identical to xiaomi redmi 3.
