How to determine if the phone is using GLONASS? I've read that it should get a satellite with an ID between 60 something and 90 something (and I supposed it should be russian, since glonass is a russian system), but apart from the American sats with ID's (under 30), I get a few Turkish ones with IDs 200 something via AndroiTS GPS Test app. No russians at all. Any thougts ?
[K3 Note General] snuffxxx:
I simply flash the supersu.zip via twrp as usual. It gets installed but root check fails. I'm considering moving to another rom but thats another problem. I'm quite happy with the current one but want to have root and xposed as well :)
[K3 Note General] ftechno:
this version https://download.chainfire.eu/743/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.52.zip ?
[K3 Note General] snuffxxx:
Yes, the same version. I tried every possible way but none of them worked so far. Any suggestions for an alternative rom? Lemonchello 5.1.1 from modest team looks pretty good.
[K3 Note General] thinkgadgetsme:
Try supersu 2.46 I have been using it and faced no problem. Rooted dev 1551 with 2.46 only. Try this.

[MENTION=5106992]hackerpower[/MENTION] here is 5Ghz patch. http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=652519&st=4480#entry42401480

Could you add it the first post?

Also the patch doesn't work on Chinese ROM but Lemonade(?).

Could make a patch for Chinese Dev Rom? Probably some WiFi files needed to update.
[K3 Note General] amatarp:
so ive installed a custom ROM on my phone

and the internal memory that detected in my phone is like the picture above

so what happened? is this a bug from the custom ROM or something else?

thanks
[K3 Note General] TheDarkKnight:
What's wrong with it??
[K3 Note General] amatarp:
it shown 11.14 GB not 16 GB

is it normal?
[K3 Note General] TheDarkKnight:
It shows 16 GB in Vibe ROMs but it is just wrong.. If you open ES File Explorer, you'll see it only has 11.14 GB

Does the latest VIBEUI_V3.0_1551_7.377.1_DEV_K50-T5 has bloatware? or any bugs?
[K3 Note General] surfistche:
Works fine so far, haven't found anything wrong. If you don't consider the Chinese Lenovo Music bloatware - then it's free of it. :)

[K3 Note General] ftechno:

[K3 Note General] ftechno:
no bug in backup and restore. but this recovery use different folder path .so it cant see you previous recovery done by 2.8.7.0 or 2.8.7.2
[K3 Note General] Armageddonn_mkd:
That is the only reinstalled app? No du battery booster or other stuff? Since the 1st stock chinese version of vibe had a lot of bloatware.
[K3 Note General] surfistche:
99% of the chinese bloatware is removed. With root access you can easily get rid of everything else you dislike. I think I got rid of 5-6 things totall, like the stock weather app which works only in/near china, lenovo music since it supports only simplified chinese (altho someone above gave a link for one that supports both chinese and english but I haven't tried it yet - using one from the play store atm) and stuff like that :) It is as clean as it can be; by far the best ROM I've used so far for this phone.
[K3 Note General] Djreedoo01:
But you can still move the whole directory to the new position using file manager.

[K3 Note General] jackgerald:
v10?
[K3 Note General] hackerpower:
Not working, which theme did you use? I've tried with darkplay and teamblackout.

Already knew this but it never worked for me.

I knew this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/android/themes/theme-twrp-materialised-dark-light-play-t2915584

that has themes for our screen resolution which is 1920x1080, you posted 480x800?
[K3 Note General] emptywordsss:
WHen u download the recovery u must unzip it first and they ll be 2 files u need to flash the one with Recovery.img inside the other one is with scatter (i think flashable throught SP flash tools)

Ohh..mistake :)) btw i did this with the themes it worked... just make sure u create folder Themes inside TWRP folder and reboot
[K3 Note General] TheDarkKnight:
Weird... It always worked for me. All you have to do is copy the ui.zip to /sdcard/TWRP/

All resolutions are same because starting version 2.8.6.0 TWRP scales themes to match our resolution.

[K3 Note General] MMeirolas:
hello guys,

i need to buy a new phone this week and i'm keen on buying a china phone for the first time

the lenovo k3 note is one of the options but i heard the software is a bit sketchy, with lot of bloatware, etc etc

with the rom 1550 (as i've read it seems to be more stable than 1551) will i have a good smartphone experience?

it seems like its a bit harder to set everything up on this phone, in comparison with other phones where you just have to root, recovery and flash rom..... here i need to uninstall some leftovers of china apps....

how's battery life, camera and speaker sound?

i hope you can make my choice easier :):good:

cheers and thx for all the effort you put into this
[K3 Note General] hackerpower:
That TWRP is already posted on the 2nd post of this thread, recoveries folder.

Then no need to create a theme dir?

Yea my bad, i should have posted resolutions that match our screen, will edit it :)

---------- Post added at 10:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 PM ----------

You need to create a theme dir without the capital t, it should look like this 'theme' and 'ui.zip', i just tried it now, and it works.
[K3 Note General] Scorchgid:
I'm finding that phoenix rom is doing the behaving as a phone function very poorly, taking several seconds to respond to incoming calls. Now I can't work out if this is due to the number of apps I have installed (which I have tried to greenify) or if it's the ROM?

If anyone has ideas about this I would be greatful.

If it is the ROM does anyone have any suggestions for a long term stable rom with xposed (gravitybox) support (I'd rather avoid VIBEUI)?

I've seen on needrom that there is a CM release but looking at the comments it appears unstable.
[K3 Note General] greekfragma:
I am using Sense V4.2 and I am pretty happy overall after 2 weeks with it.

I am always looking for the MIUI updates and I think the latest 5.12.17 is starting to get better and better when you read how many fixes they achieve.

On Phoenix and CM there are still lots of complaints.

If you are not a power user I suggest you try the Sense V4.2

I ll try to get some free time on christmas vacations and check the MIUI also.
[K3 Note General] TheDarkKnight:
Yes, you should make folder named theme/ in TWRP without caps but it shows all fine in your log. [emoji15]

Did you try in other TWRP versions?? I don't like these Chinese versions
[K3 Note General] sachin.gokhale:
Few questions/ need help:

1. I was trying to take full backup with TWRP Recovery v2.8.7.4, it got stuck at "Protect" and never completed. After 2 hours I cancelled the full backup. Regular backup was successful.

2.Why this recover is better than TWRP 2.8.7.0 by AtlonX2?

3. Since VIBEUI ROM V1551 I face difficulty in flashing GAPPS. Finally I have succeeded to flash VIBEUI DEV V1552. But Roaming signal are still there. Do I have to flash 1544 Modem or is there any new trick.

4.Just an observation earlier Dev roms ( Before 1551) use to over write Contacts and GAAPS but from 1551 , after flashing both Exist. Still have to flash GAPPS for perfect working.
[K3 Note General] TheDarkKnight:
Converting the system.new.dat to /system/ is easy, but editing the updater-script is the hard part. Can you tell me if you know any app that can do it easily?

P.S.: You don't need Linux, by using the System Extractor you can do it in Windows itself.
[K3 Note General] panchalgl:
I am also facing same problem as per point 3 & 4
[K3 Note General] thinkgadgetsme:
3) I have been using open_gapps-arm64-5.1-micro-20151124.zip on Dev 1551 and it is working without any issues.

4) Yes, i have also observed that 1551 does not overwrite the GAPPS and contacts but Google Play Store doesn't work i flashed the open gapps micro and after flashing Play Store worked properly.
[K3 Note General] sachin.gokhale:
I used latest GAAPs PACO-20151220. Worked fine.

Is Roaming issue common for every one for DEV 1552?
[K3 Note General] jackgerald:
Yes the latest GAPPS, work fine with the latest dev, and about the Roaming issue, its common, you can just ignore it, it does not do any harm, if you really want to get rid of it, you can use the link from hackerpower,

here: (Choose 1544Dev Modem, just download it and flash it through your recovery)

[K3 Note General] hackerpower:
That's exactly what i did and nothing. Strange, we have the same TWRP.

So after you create that dir and copy the renamed ui.zip when you reboot to recovery it already appears with the new theme?

Or do you have to do something to apply it?

EDIT: Just tried now to reboot to recovery and it toom a while more on the splash screen and it's finally working!

Maybe you need to reboot to system after you make the change and then reboot to recovery, don't know, strange. Well it's working.

After applying the theme TWRP doesn't remember my settings like center clock, show cpu temp and button layout, after i restart it's back to default. Does it also happen to you?
[K3 Note General] Shadpwness:
Hey guys!

Just got this phone a few days ago, with a chinese ROM (think it was called VIBEUI). Anyhow, it pretty much sucked balls, so decided to get a new custom ROM for it, installed limonchelo (also listed above, the MDST version I believe it was).

It works quite OK, however, I've encountered a few bugs in just a day, as in:

- attempted to restart it, it actually shut down itself, and didn't respond to the power-on/off button, had to remove battery and put it back in order to power it up

- phone didn't wake up while receiving a call, had to press the power button to see the caller

- google now launcher froze after killing apps from the "settings" button of the ROM (didn't kill google launcher tho)

So I was wondering the following, could anyone recommend a really stable custom ROM along with this device?

I was thinking about the ROW/stock lenovo k3 note 5.0 lollipop that's listed above, but just wanted to ask if it's working all right before installing it.

Or the Nexus 5.1, not sure how compatible the device is with that tho.

Could anyone help me with this matter?

Thanks in advance!

Yea same with me, it doesn't remember the settings, as u said :/
[K3 Note General] vonuzu:
Vibeui are the most stable roms for me. Even the dev versions, what I'm currently using. The row version is very memory intensive,and lagging for me.

Cm based roms lack some functions like double touch to wake and lock, led light not working and some else, so i wouldn't go with them.

Best for you is try and see.

[K3 Note General] thinkgadgetsme:
in order to use location services for weather widgets you need to change the build.prop values. Hope you know the proper values. If no, somebody has listed values in previous posts.

one interesting observation about Roaming icon issue. Even i could see the roaming icon when i first fleshed the Dev 1552 ROM but it went away when i fleshed supersu v 2.46. i am not sure if supersu has anything to do with roaming R icon but it went away.
[K3 Note General] jackgerald:
Lol :good:
[K3 Note General] Shadpwness:
Hey and thanks for your reply!

The problem with my VibeUI was that it was full with bloatware.

Like literally, there were 13 apps that I had no use of and couldn't install (browser, baidu browser, like 3-4 boosters and battery savers etc.). Even after rooting the phone, they still appeared as "sys apps", and couldn't be deleted.. Also, the other thing that I disliked was the launcher, I like using launchers that have a "menu", where you can store your apps, instead of the desktop, which the default ROM didn't have, nor did it even let me use a custom launcher, like Nova or Google Now Launcher, it just didn't let me set those to default, or even launch them (some error message appeared, where it said that I should disable launcher X from being my default launcher, but it didn't really let me do it, the option was unavailable).

I'm currently running Limonchelli 5.0 MSDT team if I recall right, so far had some minor problems the first day as I've mentioned in my post earlier (phone didn't wanna restart, screen didn't lighten up upon receiving a call), but besides those, haven't encountered anything else. Only 1 thing that I've noticed, I'm missing like 100 mb of RAM that's not displayed in the Apps/Running tab, so if I add them up, I get 1.9GB instead of 2.0GB, which is quite odd. It's also a bit unconvinient that the system is using around 700 MB of RAM, while my brother's Nexus 5.1 uses around 300-400.

Could you tell me if the ROM you're using is consuming just as much of RAM as this one? Also, how's your battery's life? Mine survives about a day and a half with medium usage atm, which is odd as well, since my last phone had a 1.9k mAH battery, and did survive around the same(well maybe a bit less, but the 1.1k mAH sould make more difference I think).

Thanks in advance and have a merry christmas!

Regards,

Shadpwness
[K3 Note General] vonuzu:
Im using vibeui 1550 Dev at the moment. Quite satisfied with the dev roms. I always disable or uninstall the bloathware, don't know why you can't disable or uninstall these apps..

For the ram, when i kill all the background apps i end up with around 1.1gb of free ram..

For the default launcher, go to settings/apps and find the lenovo launvher and clear the defaults

After that press the home button and it will asc you what launcher you want to use.

Are the Vibe UI ROMs linked in the OP Chinese ROMs. I mean do they have English as option or not?

Most of the stuff for Lenovo K3 Note, including the More Info links in the OP seem to be coming from China. Has the source code been released only there or is it something else?
