Some new roms can be found here. http://pan.baidu.com/share/home?uk=723111645#category/type=0

Dunno if it has been posted Before (couldnt find it myself).

Have a good weekend/time to flash new stuff :)
[K3 Note General] hackerpower:
Well i don't know, it just didn't feel smooth and trustworthy like 1604 ST, maybe it was greenify or some other app creating conflict, also antutu only gave me hardly 48K, but what i know is that with 1604ST everything works like it's supposed to especially in the sound department, i'm a bit of an audiophile.

If anyone that uses CM is interested i leave here my personalized Lenovo Boot Logo matching the boot animation and also a full size bootanimation (place it in system/media/ and give rw r r permissions) instead of the tiny one that comes with the cheshkin rom.

I leave here also my dark version of the stock Lenovo Boot logo.
[K3 Note General] br0wni3:
Since you seem to really like he AOSP look, have you ever tried the nexus v2 by dr.root ? It sounds pretty good with viper4android. :)

Btw I'm kinda sad that cm12.1 st3 is not as stable as it seems in the beginning.
[K3 Note General] 911-Future_Maker:
I tried the nexus v2 a long time before. While it may sounds good the base and the security patches of this rom are heavily outdated.

---------- Post added at 01:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:16 PM ----------

@hackerpower Thanks for the two new dark logos my friend! A nice set to pair with the purple one we already have.
[K3 Note General] br0wni3:
Yeah, you are right about that. I always kinda repress things like that because I see so many people still using samsung phones with Jelly Bean and stuff.

I also have a quick question. Is there a way to backup just my IMEIs ? I usually do a backup in TWPR so I'm not afraid of loosing something. But since a lot of people have to reenter them after flashing I'm wondering if there is a tool or something to do that.

(I know there is an app on the first page, which will let you reenter them. But how do I backup them properly in the first place?)

Edit: Another question, but I don't want to spam another Reply in this thread:

Has somebody found a way to make the "recent apps" look like they should(the vanilla caroussel) on Lillipop on the 1604 stable rom ?

I've tried an app called "fancy switcher" and a xposed module called "monsterui" which was sound promising but neitheir of these two worked out for me ? Please let me know if you know a way to achieve this! :)
[K3 Note General] damanrico:
I have weird sounds and crackles during playback using headphones as well, but I'm on 1603 DEV. The crackles and noises are most notable while listening to something on lower sound levels (sound levels 1 till 6) and especially if it's just audio of someone talking (and no, those noises aren't from the source audio, no such noises while listening on other devices). Tried turning all sound effects, max audio, etc. off, but the noises/crackles are still there.
[K3 Note General] hackerpower:
Nope, i actually don't.

Never had sound problems on official VibeUI roms.
[K3 Note General] karthikdeep:
I've been having this problem ever since I flashed VIBE 1604_ST. Never noticed it when I was on stock rom. Why is the cpu always in use when in standby? I think it's seriously reducing the battery life. Any suggestions?
[K3 Note General] arberthebarber:
Wow this rom is amazing. The smoothest rom I've ever used on this phone, it has double tap to wake, and haven't experienced a bug so far yet
[K3 Note General] autorage:
Well, for me there was this "button vibrating when screen-off" - bug, but that has been fixed with todays OTA-Update (cm_aio_otfp-ota-c156f7db01) !

But I agree this is an amazing rom!

I havent had a single spontaneous reboot. Sound is good for me ( not audiophile, but there is definitly no crackling).

Doubletap works perfect and the ability to update OTA is very convienient.

Will keep this as a daily driver.

Also, never thought I would care much, but having a rom in my language is actually really nice!

Im here to say a big thanks to Cuoco92. The MM_1610_3.210.1_ROW is nearly perfect. :highfive:

Very smooth, no errors and just working fine + Multilanguage.

The best thing: No NVRAM Error anymore, No Errors at all and just smooth.

I just quick flashed it over my 1608 and everything worked, had to clear the camera app data (thx 4 update) and except that the phone is using a little bit more Battery everything is just fine, on the other hand its at all smoother than on the Official ROW but i think if you turn on the battery saver on you get a bit more battery life. If someone cares, you have to test it by yourself but for me its ok and i will stay on this Rom. :)

[K3 Note General] emptywordsss:
That's the official VIBEUI_V3.0_1604_7.209.1_ST_K50-T5 You can download it but to flash it on your phone through custom recovery you need to edit the updater script inside the zip file that you will download.

To be honest this question has been answered at least 100 times

All you need to do is to jump in #2 post you ll find all your answers there

How to flash official VibeUI ST/DEV roms through custom recovery:

- You will need to edit the updater-script file inside the .zip

- Use winrar/7zip to open the zip and go to \META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script

- Use Notepad++ or other to open and edit the updater-script

[COLOR="Red"]mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p3", "/data", "");
get_lenovo_custom1("1442822409") == "OK" || abort("Can't install this package (Mon Sep 21 16:00:09 CST 2015) over newer build (" + getprop("ro.build.data") + "). Or lenovo can't allow to rollback.");
unmount("/data");
getprop("ro.product.device") == "aio_otfp" || abort("This package is for "aio_otfp" devices; this is a "" + getprop("ro.product.device") + "".");
[/COLOR]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"),
write_raw_image("/tmp/uboot.img", "uboot"),
delete("/tmp/uboot.img"));
assert(package_extract_file("mobicore.bin", "/tmp/tee1.img"),
write_raw_image("/tmp/tee1.img", "tee1"),
delete("/tmp/tee1.img"));
show_progress(0.200000, 10);
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p3", "/data", "");
delete_recursive("/data/data/com.android.providers.media/databases");
delete_recursive("/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db");

unmount("/data");
apply_sig(package_extract_file("sig/boot.sig"), "bootimg");

- Delete the text in red, save and replace the updater-script with the one you've just edited.

- Ignore errors.
[K3 Note General] br0wni3:
Thanks a lot for your answer!

However I basicly know how to edit the updater script and flash it since I read a lot here on XDA.

My question was about the source where I can download it!

And with complicated method I was talking about this thread here with the proxy sniffer method: http://xdaforums.com/k3-note/general/official-firmware-lenovo-k3-note-direct-t3326424

I was just wondering that nobody has linked my given source anywhere.
[K3 Note General] emptywordsss:
Thats pretty much easy as i said before all you need to READ carefully and to dont be shy to try it out cuz no harm can be done :D

I ll put this to you very clear buddy no worries :) it's simple copy/paste situation

So basicly this mate explained this very clearly

To download firmwares, just add prefix with http://phonedl.ota.lenovomm.com/dls/v6/

You need to paste it in a new tab in your browser

all you need to do is add the prefix to the main link above.

Per example in your case the prefix is under K50-T5 - Full ROM - ST model section.

Copy http://phonedl.ota.lenovomm.com/dls/v6/ paste it in a new tab + copy the prefix of your desired Rom(in your case st 1604) VIBEUI_V3.0_1604_7.209.1_ST_K50-T5_WC58CB6441.zip and paste it.

Thats equal to http://phonedl.ota.lenovomm.com/dls/v6/VIBEUI_V3.0_1604_7.209.1_ST_K50-T5_WC58CB6441.zip

Good luck!!

:good:
[K3 Note General] hackerpower:
Another one out?

Do you know what the changelog is?

Yeah i know what you meant, i was just messing with you.

I guess it depends on the camera app.

No one posts official vibeui link site because it stopped being updated a long time ago (check the latest dev posted on that site). However the download links are official and the same, if you don't understand what is posted on that thread then i can't help you. The proxy sniffer is an option to try and discover the next download link before it's out.

I posted this problem some time ago.

Hackerpower suggested: " Do a full wipe and install everything from scratch. It's obvious you have something corrupted."

Tonight I did that and the problem is still here.

Could it just be my provider or is something wrong with my phone ? I really don't think so since it is working when I am toggling flight mode. :/
[K3 Note General] karthikdeep:
No dude... It ain't as simple as changing the app. I tried 'manual camera' on playstore and it showed this: "your phone doesn't support manual camera controls, ask your phone manufacturer to include support".

So I thought one of you awesome guys on xda would have done something to get it to work.

Can you port that camera app to any other ROM? Maybe just post it's apk or something?

I also posted a solution to your problem, seems like you missed my post. Try installing the Radio from 1544 ROM. The problem should go away, else enable Data while in roaming and your data should connect again.

As said earlier so is LSpeed a great tool combine with our device :) Now its on play store it should hopefully be more used (it was a pain to use it before when it was a pdf and such).

1611/vibe 3.5 is after two days of use a great update for my daily use (d2w, d2s and the theme "store" works and no wifi error message). Its a shame that the snapit app is still 4.1 and not updated to 5.3 (that is a bit snappier camera)

Feedback latest CM 12.1

Hi,

Just some feedback.

Installed CM 12.1 (11.03.2016)cm_aio_otfp-ota-c156f7db01, after running Stock 1604 VIBEUI rom for a while.

Installed it with first advanced full wipe/format of VIBUI 1604 and used TWRP 3.0.0.2

Impressive Rom I must say, small in size.

Finally have green led notification for WhatsApp, Gmail etc!!! and most for all no external SD card problems when I use Foldermount for 6 GB Navigation maps!!. In stock VIBEUI was not able to manage Foldermount to work without modifications on my phone that goes beyond my knowledge.

Overall very pleased with CM 12.1 and couldn't find any bug yet. :cyclops:

Sound problems, only hear clicks/cracks when I type on screen, not during playback.

AudioFX seems to be not working when I play YouTube, MaxxAudio in VIBEUI did.

Shame FM radio not working and crashes the phone when you try to use it.

Somebody already tried to flash MaxxAudio without problems on CM12.1???

The only thing I have with all the roms I tried so far is that I can't install OpenGapps 64, 5.1 Nano or Pico, results in boot problems.

Used gapps-du-flounder-arm64-20150331-signed for GMail/ YouTube etc. and works like a charm.
[K3 Note General] emptywordsss:
Seems Impossible though but we never know what's going to happen in near future bro ...Maybe it will come spontaneously as the past 2 MM AOSP/VIBEUI Hybrids updates :highfive:

You never know what our Lenovo Group Ltd is up to :D

For me enabling audio fx resulted in a worse and lower sound than without nothing.

Tried maxxaudio but it screwed the sound a little. Will try dirty flashing the 11.03 over my cm 08.03 backup and see if there are any improvements.

Yes you can use both together, i used them in the past, but lspeed drains your battery faster.

Installed Marshmellow 1611 Cuoco92 ROM, and trere are some changes in VIBE UI appearence, this mix between AOSP and VIBE is really strange. After a standard wipe in recovery no issues except NVRAM error in wifi field, but that can be ignored. Tested GPS and flashed in recovery GLONASS patch and ... surprise, phone remain in bootloop. So, be avare, do not flash GLONASS GPS fix over 1611 build, it remains stuck in boot logo. Came back to thrustworthy 1604, mastered by cuoco92 also...

Sadly I don't think the FM radio works, I tried it but it doesn't crash my phone. If youre not on the latest build try the OTA update, it might fix it

---------- Post added at 05:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:16 PM ----------

You can use both if you want. For me personally I don't really find a use for Greenify as my battery last the whole day with 3-4 hours screen on time and dual sim enabled (sim 1 on lte, sim 2 on 2g)

[K3 Note General] Meteordust:
Tried to flash MaxxAudio but that results in first small screen of installing the two apps (maxxaudio and maxx service) and than hangs in starting android.:crying:

Solution was to remove/delete MaxxAudio from System/App folder with TWRP and flash CM 11.03 version without any wipe. Phone started again but needed to uninstall the downloaded Gapps (google service unfortunately stopped working), uninstalled updated superSU 2.65 and foldermount and flashed superSU 2.46 and gapps again two prevent a complete new install of all my stuff.

Yeah you right AudioFX is not doing a good job, can't hear any sound improvement/ difference at all like the deep bass you can generate with MaxxAudio.

FM radio is crashing and causing reboot, not when you open it but when you tap some functions in the app that not working.

For the rest CM 12.1 date 11.03 working perfect.
[K3 Note General] k@iserex:
[MENTION=5106992]hackerpower[/MENTION] and all others for better noticeable audio experience try v4a as it gives boost in db and in clearness, it does for me. Speaker Audio on k3n note is nothing to write about but better then some other phones so I'm not giving CM minuses on that matter.

If anybody wants a better cam app then CM one and For me it even produces better pictures then snapit, then try this installable flyme cam app: https://mega.nz/#!xxQQgRDQ!k7IjupKK0kvomcBXPDknMbCvTIGN7nLHHqMQ8hqxoKk

Only thing I think is not working is front facing camera and maybe other features but main cam is working good.

My K3 Note seems to have just zapped my SD card. While connected to my PC as a media device an upload to the SD card hanged, so I was forced to cancel. After this the phone no longer recognized it, it cannot be reformatted, etc. Maybe I was just unlucky and it died on its own. Not worried since it comes with a 10 year warranty. It is a bit unusual, considering I was using it for less than six months. Just logging this here to see whether it is a common occurence. The card is a Transcend TS32GUSDU1, happened under Win7, with Phoenix v1 ROM, while uploading Cheshkin's CM12 ROM zip linked by k@iserex and the TWRP 3.0.0.3 zip in hackerpower's repo (I doubt any of this matters, but you never know).

[K3 Note General] TheDarkKnight:
He meant the ROW version.

I've also felt the same. In ROW, there was some CPU limiting battery saving settings that's not there in the Chinese Vibe.

I will give V4a a try, but not for power/bass/sound, i just wished a cleaner smoother sound than the one that come's out on CM. IT has a punch on high and mids and the low mids and bass is not very smooth.

As for the difference in the 2 cam apps i just noticed a filter in Meizu cam app that makes the colors more vivid/clearer, apart from that didn't noticed any improvement in quality, i leave here 2 photos i just took with the 2 apps.
[K3 Note General] k@iserex:
Try v4a and hear it, its not ground braking but its making a difference in sound. You be the judge if you like it [emoji2] As for the cam app, for me it makes just that, more sharp and clearer pictures than cm or even snapit, and also native cam app in flyme os makes even better ones, form me at least [emoji2]

Your sd card died on its own. I had 3 microSD cards dead over past 3 years in different 5 phones. Last one died in 8 days, lucky me I did not throw the bill and had change it. Two of them were kingston, one kingmax. Looks like quality of sd cards producer has gone down a lot of. I still own a toshiba microSD, 6 years old and still working, slow but working...
[K3 Note General] preditcon:
Yes. That's the most likely scenario. Posted that just in case, since malicious code could have been the cause, but that has been ruled out by now. I'm not going to return this one to the shop, however. It contains sensitive information such as TB backups, password safe backups, etc. (worth way more than the 12€ I paid for the card), and I cannot wipe it. This annoying "security feature" seems to explain the 10 year warranty on it.

hi friends today i will post my solution to wifi nvram error . and this is how

I copied the two file WIFI and WIFI_CUSTOM from 1604 ST Rom (android 5.1) where exist in /data/nvram/APCFG/APRDEB directory then replace the same filesin the same path on 1611 cuoco rom. and voila the nvram error was resolved ;)

i think there a bug with snapshot in 16011:)
