Well like I said I switched back, mostly because of the resolution. I know there could be a way to change that but I really didn't feel like going hunting.

I very much want GravityBox and I'll be thrilled when my ROM is updated and I can install it,

Plus Google is correctly backing up my data and allows me to restore apps, I dunno it seems helpful.

No lag here on my k3 note.

Running the nexus rom found at needorms. Using mostly the following apps tinfoil twitter, tinfoil facebook, instagram, hangouts, whatsapp, openvpn, afwall+, stock music player.
[K3 Note General] SteveCoops:
The lag on the S121 ROW disappears as soon as you clear all the running apps. Once a couple hundred MB is in use though it's back.
[K3 Note General] xcen3x:
I can confirm , I'm on 1533 build no lag whatsoever. On a side note I see 1534 released , any significant changes worth upgrading [MENTION=5106992]hackerpower[/MENTION] ?

For those who tried FunTouch OS 1.17.10 for k50-T5 (best UI, much better than VibeUI)

- Xposed64 SDK21 WILL WORK with this ROM. You MUST Disabled Resource Hooks in order to be able use Xposed.

The cost is you can't use Xposed Module which is use it (resource hack), like Youtube AdAway.

- Vivo FunTouch OS has been known unfriendly with Google Play Service and Google PlayStore.

The working Google Play Service I have tried is this :

http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-services/google-play-services-7-8-99-2134222-448-android-apk-download/

The working Google Play Store I have tried is this :

http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-store/google-play-store-4-9-13-android-apk-download/

How to check whether Play Store is installed correctly is try to install any apk from Play Store. Most are will give you error 976.

- Bug of com.iqoo.EngineerMode is still present in this ROM.

- Battery drain seems to be a bit faster than VibeUI

- This is my cup of tea. I'll stick with this ROM for very long time. I really love the UI
[K3 Note General] Scorchgid:
Okay additionally there are some issues with the Nexus rom

Mysms is stated as not compatible however I found an APK and installed that manually

I cannot install the Amazon app even when I download manually it won't allow me to click install for some reason within the package installer. I can click cancel so it must be doing something.

Additionally I tried an application which stated it installed apps by root. While I was able to install the app again I wasn't able to grant it root permissions for some reason

1543 now installed and it's flying along compared to ROW S121! I need to get all my apps reinstalled but so far so good. It needs a bit of effort clearing Chinese stuff, and I don't really know what I can get rid of safely... anyone got a list?
[K3 Note General] carlo.edmon:
I'm currently using your build 1532 TWRP backup. It's very smooth and no lag at all, unlike some users complaining of lag, overheating, etc. My advice, stop configuring your device. K3 Note is a very powerful device so no need for further tweaks and too much configurations. I like what hackerpower is offering, slim and bugfree version.

Anyway, regarding my request earlier. I hope you could upload newer TWRP backup (1534 maybe?) for us to check and play with.

You're still on vacation so just enjoy and check it when you come back.

Is play store with 1534 ? Which gapps u use? Also please test facebook and messenger and give us feed back?
[K3 Note General] stephendt0:
I think for certain users, there's a memory leak. On the ROW ROM I was using 120 apps, paired with my LG G Watch R, multiple google accounts, using it for email/phone/messaging/contacts/google search and work related apps and it will chew up all the memory by 3pm. Clearing apps only helps temporarily, then it's laggy again. It was unbearable - however I switched to the Nexus 8 ROM and it is blazing quick and I have tonnes of RAM free (with the exact same setup).

My GF has no lag at all on hers though using the ROW ROM. It must be a memory leak somewhere in relation to how I use my device.
[K3 Note General] SteveCoops:
No, I had to install gapps. I'm using some gapps I found called BaNkS-dynamic-gapps-5.x.x-8-15-15.zip but it's not perfect. I've been told to use the one in the Index thread http://xdaforums.com/android/development/organized-thread-lenovo-k3-note-k50-t3158522 so I'm going to give that a go.

Facebook is fine (videos etc) - not tried Facebook's messenger, but WhatsApp is fine. The notifications LED doesn't work and I'm not convinced on notifications as a whole, but then I installed the Microsoft NEXT lock screen and it's great - the notifications work on there.

There are bits of Chinese text dotted around the phone which is annoying. I'm going to wipe and reinstall with this gapps tonight.

I should say though, not a single slow down - it's like a new phone!

edit - actually I'm giving this a go http://techolaty.net/lenovo-k3-note-vibe-ui-2-8-rooted-developer-edition/

Well that version really didn't work well - I couldn't get any google services to run without them crashing. I'll try the 'standard' 1534 after I get a few mins charge into the phone :)

Fixed it after a few flashes and reboots - 1534 and I think the slim_mini_gapps. Going back through all the application reinstall now.
[K3 Note General] AlexG7:
Im using the Cuoco DEV 1.9 and the only issue i have is that i am not getting notifications from messenger or facebook (and other apps too) and messenger is crashing if i update it (so i am using an older version and not updating it)

is there any other custom ROM like Cuoco's but with working notifications?
[K3 Note General] neverhood11:
Double tap to sleep works...maybe you just didn`t enable it..

I read a lot about you guys having Nvram error...I flashed many roms and never had this problem..maybe I`m just lucky.. :P

My only problem now is mobile data on every restart...it took my all money first time when I didn`t know about it :/ I hope they`ll fix it tomorrow.

CyanogenMod 12.1 by Cheshkin

HI

It works perfectly.I have not made clean installation. I have flashed ST to ST2, ST2 to DEV3 and DEV3 to ST3. Always wipe cache and Dalvik. For me there is no "freeze" or "sudden reboot". GPS,WIFI,Mobile Data und BT works at first attempt. Several camera app installed without problems. It is use for Daily suited.

Thanks

Hi, really have no idea what to try. I want to flash a Custom ROM for a K3 Note, K50-T5 version.

It's important that it is a stable ROM and doesn't have major flaws (poor battery, random freezes etc). Is there a best-all rounder here?

I'm pretty familiar with what installing a custom ROM means, it's just that I hate the part about searching for one, when there are tens of ROMS out there
[K3 Note General] k@iserex:
A couple of posts back I'm recommending a ROM and mentioning other one, so your statement about being hateful about searching for ROMs is well stated, but then again this could be hardly called searching [emoji6]
[K3 Note General] i.rradu:
Swear to God I read the last 7 pages and didn't realize you were talking about a ROM there.

Gotta stop doing stuff like this while at work :(

So the last one is the one from 08.03; will try that one. Now on to find a good CustomRecovery install tutorial
[K3 Note General] hackerpower:
On par with 1604 ST? CM roms tend to be much lighter, nimble and therefore more battery friendly. Will try it asap, thanks mate ;

PS: It's CM 12 or 13?

[K3 Note General] emptywordsss:
If you're not familiar with the "flashing" procedures for custom ROMS feel free to search youtube.com.Here is a tip *lenovo k3 note custom rom* :) you can find your answers there cheers ?
[K3 Note General] k@iserex:
Do try it, maybe you'll like it, its good enough for me for now and I'm all into stable releases that are truly stable. Its CM 12.1, no CM 13 for now but I believe Cheshkin is into it, we will see what future holds [emoji2]

As for battery it seems good for now, I'm into 11 hours from initial full charge, all relevant modems are active all the time (WiFi, GPS, data connection), SOT is 2 hours, and 1,5 hours of calls, many notifications all the time (email, tapatalk, Facebook) and I'm on 50% right now. So for me if I can get trough the day its good and it seems that way.

Has anybody been using google now launcher?

Any suggestions?

I was answering a guy on that matter. I don't use FM radio app at all. But I guess dev fix it in st3 as there is a FM radio app in the ROM.

Did you edit the updater script? i took a look into it and it seems it has a lot of lines that will generate conflict.

It's one day I have installed Cm st3

Till now smooth and stable, glad to see double tap to wake in a custom rom:D

Battery is good. Very feature rich. (u can modify every piece of the phone in settings) ?

Network is fine.

The only problem I encountered is the ram consumption that is higher than ROW rom I had. as much as miui roms I say.

I think I gonna stay on it until the stable MM releases .
[K3 Note General] zbrix:
Yes now I'm on that one too. If someone could fix fm radio, than it would be superb [emoji121]

Enviado do meu Lenovo K50-t5 através de Tapatalk
[K3 Note General] k@iserex:
High RAM consumption could mean 2 things in my opinion:

1. System is adequately and optimally using its resources (RAM memory in this case) therefore system is fluid, apps behave reasonably fast and responsive and multitasking is optimized whit available physical onboard memory capacity. In this scenario seeing high RAM usage or low free RAM is a good thing. RAM memory is there to be filled whit date for fast access and I would rather see high RAM usage/low free RAM and have a fast system then high free RAM and sub par performance.

2. Malicious software is active, or system has memory overflow bug/problems or apps misbehave

So to recap, on letv x600 which has 3GB available RAM I see the same amount of free RAM as in K3 note and system is super fluid and responsive. Same thing was whit my late lg g3. So when I read all those posts from users demanding free RAM on ROMs I just go meh, they don't understand basic things. ST3 is smooth and responsive meaning RAM consumption/management is good. Bigger problems are wakelocks and high CPU state usage which will drain battery fast but that is another topic altogether. This is just my opinion , take it as you like [emoji6] [emoji2]

Well this is a nice piece of rom! No complaints until now, almost didn't had to install gravitybox due to all the stock CM goodies!

Just one thing/bug, i experienced a few freezes/phone not responding during a few seconds, maybe it was a RAM thing.

Right now, apart from less free RAM which isn't a bad thing, just remember that free RAM is unused ram, the rom is quicker than 1604 ST, and gaming is also faster and of course you have the plus of multilanguage!

Not even concerned about MM dev releases, will be just fine with this small/quick/feature rich CM, thanks to our russian pal Cheshkin from 4PDA.

Please guys, can anyone install here maps for few seconds, and tell me if is working, is one of my daily apps. Thank you. Just install and open the app, or maybe, anyone can tell me if I need to do something to work on this version on cuoco92's ROM!
[K3 Note General] k@iserex:
Yeeah I don't use gravity on pure CM ROM as it have all what I need already baked in [emoji2] As for the hiccups I guess everybody has their different setup and set of apps on top of the usage habits, so I didn't notice hiccups but can understand if you have them in one form or another. I had one spontaneous soft reboot while in YouTube app but from then it has been updated so I guess it was a app problem. I'll have my eyes on stock MM ROMs for sure but right now I think this CM port is superb and stable for daily driver material. Just hope [MENTION=5538504]Cheshkin[/MENTION] will put an effort in porting CM 13 to k3n which would be really great. The only thing I dislike is a stock cm cam app as it produces sub par photos to lenovo stock cam app. I mentioned once that flyme stock cam app produced the best photos of all ROMs/apps I have tried, so I'll try to find flashble or installable flyme cam app to nigiate cm stock cam app [emoji2] Cheers m8

Quick question guys... If I install using this ROM VIBEUI_V3.0_1604_7.209.1_ST_K50-T5_WC7438FA91 do I still need to install gapps?

I'm not sure if i am doing the right process, that I still need to Unzip the rom edit the updater-script and compress it again before flashing. Any advise and help would do..

Thanks a lot!
[K3 Note General] emptywordsss:
Yes You need to flash gapps separately(from http://opengapps.org/ ARM64/5.1.1 pico/nano) after your first boot,In order to change/edit the updater script just navigate into \META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script adn ofcourse Use winrar/7zip to open the zip.

Once you are in just delete everything till "show_progress(0.750000, 0);" and than save it it will process about 30 sec and that's it you are ready to flash it

VibeUI_1611

The bad:

-Nvram err again (after dirty flash over 1610 at least)

-Ugly new Battery icon and percent text

-Bug screenshot it seems! (See the last screen)

The good:

-Sim Settings are back

Sadly my personal opinion is that VibeUI based on MM has become worse than what it was in the beginning!

[K3 Note General] k@iserex:
Truthfully I don't understand what are they (devs) doing whit this hybrid ROM in design compartment?

Either you stick whit yours truly skin that users are a custom of or implement new, better, improved one skin which follows basically same raw design language. I don't like the way this new stock MM ROM is going to, in terms of UI. Its most important stuff in Android eco system to be able to differentiate yourself from another "manufacturer" trough UI. Its like Samsung would suddenly out of the bloom in new android iteration offer completely different UI then before, or worst, a not so shaggy hybrid of aosp and touchwiz, guess what, not gonna happen and this is exactly what we have whit this new lenovo vibe/aosp UI interface - I don't like it one bit. Dont get me wrong I'm all for a big switch but not in a way lenovo is doing. They could just go Motorola way (which they own/if I'm not mistaken) and offer pure Google experience whit subtile touches. But then again beauty is in the eye of the beholder , so that's that.
[K3 Note General] 911-Future_Maker:
I agree. You said it all. We must raise our voice and show them that we really need the old VibeUI look back! Heck I was loving Vibe before, but now I almost hate it! :( Thankfully we have the choice to choose from many different ROMs and we have an alternative.

So, how much time till we get to have Android 7 Dev Prev on K3 Note?
[K3 Note General] 911-Future_Maker:
Dude..are you serious?? Even getting the MM update was something like a reverence to K3 Note users, because this phone was a big hit last year and Lenovo wanted to show some love to all these users all over the planet who bought the phone. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is the first Lenovo phone in the whole history that was continuously updated to 2 newer Android versions over the initial original Android version it comes with. Not even a chance to smell the Android 7 flavour for us.
[K3 Note General] thisisNiK:
This just makes me sad... :(

I really really liked its split screen feature...although I don't think it will be supported by K3 note... or am I wrong?
[K3 Note General] stone_henge:
Bugs in 1611 found so far:

- Mobile data auto switching on; still not fixed

- NVRAM Error is still there

- AOSP Keyboard crashes. You can't use it.

- The "Show Password Lock Screen Interface" inside Security settings is not working anymore. I always use this option as i don't like the VIBE Lockscreen, so it's now a disappointment for me.

But they fixed:

- Double tap to sleep on default launcher (was not working for me on 1610)

- removed some options inside settings which was not working on 1610 (Like twist camera, Double tap on power for camera etc)

- Sound in back on FM Radio.

Anyway, I dont like the new VibeUI 3.5. In my opinion 3.1 was better. Like now the "clean" button in recent apps menu cleans everything. But i liked the previous method better where you could keep the current app and clean others in the background like before. Also, there was app pinning.
