If stock camera wont allow you to disable shutter sound download another camera app from play store that will.

On stock camera on dev I have the option its snapit 4.1, maybe you missed it. Root doesn't have anything to do whit it, its an option of an app.
[K3 Note General] Armageddonn_mkd:
Root has to do with it since i can rename the audio file in the internal memory that is used for shutter sound and i wont have sound but i dont wana root since ill use my guarantee and i use the row rom.
[K3 Note General] k@iserex:
Well if you want to change system files than yeahh root is required. Did you check in snapit app for the option to disable shutter sound? As I have stated before I have the option on snapit 4.1 app in DEV ROM. Dont know which version is on your specific ROW ROM?! If you are afraid of braking warranty terms you can always unroot, but that's up to you.

Or you can try this app it requires no root - give it a go:

Highlighting the important text

Hi [MENTION=5106992]hackerpower[/MENTION] - Is it possible for you to kindly put in the TWRP backup of the latest vibe version that you're happy with. The latest one currently you have posted is 1539. Is 1542 notably better?

Thanks for the umpty useful thread and postings. I found it very very handy.

Just one suggestion - May be you could add

-

"The button combination to boot recovery on Lenovo K3 Note K50a40 - volume up + volume down + power"

I came across many sites claiming volume up + power only.

So, even after successfully flashing the recovery, when I tried to boot into recovery by pressing - volume up + power - I was unknowingly allowing the phone to boot and to restore the stock recovery. I ended up spending a lot of time at this and may be others are doing so as well.

Hence, it you could just as much text to your opening post - it will surely help a lot of people - I think.
[K3 Note General] oldfold:
For me 1543 worked with the gapps posted on Android file host. I had it saved on my machine I don't have the link. But you can search. Initially it was taking more than 10 minutes for initial setup. Let me try 1544
[K3 Note General] hackerpower:
I don't have much free time these days.

And every week there's a new dev version out, so basically i post new backups everytime there's a new stable release.

To enter recovery there are 2 situations:

1. When the phone is turned off:

Hold power + vol up + vol down until the phone vibrates, then release power and keep holding both vol buttons until you enter recovery.

2. When the phone is turned on and you're doing a restart:

Press restart, ok, after the screen goes off/black hold both vol buttons until you enter recovery.

Hope i help someone.

I confirm. 1544 works with latest gapps and two google accounts. But it takes quite some time to initialize the first time I wonder why. Something has definitively changed.

It always takes very long on the 1st boot because it is building up cache for all the apps, it's normal.

I'm not sure what dirty flashing means. I installed the 1544 via TWRP then fished the last slim zero gapps, then superuser 2.52 then xposed v.75 via the same recovery method. And it took a good 10-15 minutes but is booted alright. Everything is improved (interface, fluidity and battery) it seems the changelog is big.

Dirty flash is when you don't wipe data in order to keep apps etc

Oooh, thanks. Now I know. So after performing the above procedure, I restored data from the nandroid backup of my DEV 1542 via TWRP.

[K3 Note General] oldfold:
Hey, just follow my last 2 posts .. You start by backing up your current setup as a TWRP nandroid backup so that you can restore data and apps to the new base or restore the same setup in case something goes wrong.
[K3 Note General] jordandroid64:
Thank, you , so we can't update juste normaly without backup to flash ?(just download the zip of the ota rename it and flash ? ) and with your method I need to flash 1544 dev rom ? No an update ?

And for the root, I flash the rom and wipe cache ant it's good ?

Thank you and sorry for your precedent post, like m'y english is not excellent, I prefer ask people
[K3 Note General] oldfold:
I do not believe it's possible to update via OTA since when you check under system update, there is no new release meaning you have to flash (I think it's called dirty flash) it via TWRP. And then you can proceed to add the extras such as gapps, SU and Xposed.

Yes, so far I think 1544 is the latest and most improved.
[K3 Note General] jordandroid64:
Ok thank you, the 1544 rom and 1543 add something important ?

They all add important things but for me 1544 is a better update. There are changes everywhere

Which supersu did you flash on 1544? I tried a few versions and while apps work that were already allowed in the supersu app, I don't get the pop up to give new apps access.

These apps just get blocked and I don't get a notification from SU
[K3 Note General] oldfold:
I flashed the version 2.52 SU but for me that problem was there even on DEV 1542. I don't know what changed. I tried all versions of SU from 2.46 to the BETA but it only worked sometimes then failed. I have yet to figure out what the issue is.

[K3 Note General] hackerpower:
Everytime i've tried to flash open gapps i get an error that says that i can only flash open gapps on top of open gapps or in a rom that doesn't have gapps package yet.

So the bottom line is: No dirty flash allowed since 1542 in order to get gapps working properly, amongst other bugs.
[K3 Note General] jordandroid64:
someone can give to me the link to the supersu which we can root the dev 1544, I've search but I don't want flash something bad
[K3 Note General] xxlakis:
As I read to bbs ota updater doesn't find newer developer versions no more cause needs some kind of registration.

If you want to update these are the steps I follow.

-download latest full pack

-unroot

-flash stock recovery

-install pack through updater app

-flash twrp again

-flash root,gapps,xposed again

I dirty flash every newer version and never had problem.You can do it with twrp and bypass stock recovery but since from the beginning it works for me I use this way.

All the links to the correct files you should flash according to rom are on the 1st post.

Don't have any of those problems on the same rom. You can't expect that different phones with different software have the same battery life.

Don't no what you did to your phone after you flashed that rom or how did you flashed it, but no poor battery life here.
[K3 Note General] vonuzu:
Well I didn't do nothing. After the rom I flashed the gapps then I rooted it using the supersu zip, and in the end freezed the bloathware. And that is it.

You mentioned that you Will upload twrp backup for this rom, is it ready?

Hey Hackerpower, did you happen to make a back up of the de-bloated, rooted etc. 1529 that you mentioned in the cwm thread? Also, will I need to use TWRP or can I use CWM to install it?

If I need to use TWRP, will I still need to flash the new recovery through flash tool?

You'll have to flash the twrp recovery via recovery or through flashify.

Well you dont need to wait you can install it yourself trough TWRP and afterwards just debloat the chines apps you won't be using trough titanium app or similar, you have to be rooted. Download the ROM, gapps and superSU in index thread. Flash ROM first, go trough the Lenovo initial setup, reboot to recovery, flash superSU and gapps, setup google account. Install titanium backup and uninstall or freeze chines apps you won't be using and there you go, you have the same setup as hackerpower has minus xposed which you can flash additionally, its in the index thread. Hackerpower can give you the list of modules he is using or you can try the ones you like. Rock ON :) ?

Hey do you think CWM is acceptable? I'm not willing to replace it yet.

Basically you are saying we CAN install the original ROM through the custom recovery?
[K3 Note General] k@iserex:
Well if you have CWM then you'll not be able to flash hackerpower TWRP backup in the first place that he will post when he find the time, cos that's the recovery that he uses. On the other hand I didn't try CWM cos I prefer TWRP touch ability, stability and ease of use. That said you can flash TWRP trough CWM, you can find it in index thread. If not you can try CWM, make a backup before. That said if you'll take that route you'll have to modify updater scrip inside .zip file cos it will error out on flashing progress. Now hackerpower was able to end the flash process in TWRP even Whit errors, I for one wasn't able to do that. In that case you have to delete couple of lines whit common text editor in updater script. Hackerpower has already posted what needs to be deleted I one of the thereads, after that just update .zip file and you are good to go. Even I can give you the info what's needs to be deleted and where but I'm on mobile now. Just search it in threads couple of pages back on those threads. ?

Thanks k@iserex. Just to make sure, this whole file editing thing is for what purpose?

Is it needed so that I replace CWM with TWRP or is it needed to flash the ROM with either CWM ou TWRP?
[K3 Note General] k@iserex:
Its needed for successfully flashing the ROM. Its got nothing to do whit replacing recovery whit different one, for that purpose you just need to do basic flashing of proper new recovery trough existing recovery, in your case flashing TWRP in CWM recovery. Those lines of code are seeking for your device type and structure in the very beginning of flashing and when doesn't find it it will error out and stop the flashing procedure even dough you have the proper device in your hand. I'm not technical but something in the line what I said.
