[K3 Note General] emptywordsss:
A new update is on the Air today for the ROW version try to update it maybe your problem will be gone

Here is a screenshot of it:
[K3 Note General] emptywordsss:
The Difference between these 2 Versions is:

S121 Row 5.0 Row(Now updated to s324 6.0) is the Indian ROW version

S205Row 5.0 Row(Now updated to s424 6.0) is the Russian ROW version

The difference is that if u buy the phone in Russia It will be branded S205(s424) and from India s121(s205)

A little explanation

What is this boot.img that everyone is talking about, is it the one that is needed to root the phone after the official update to MM, or is it something else, I am currently downloading this ROM, has anyone tried it http://www.needrom.com/download/slick-1613-row/.

Are VIBE UI ROMs official ROMs from Lenovo or as they released by some group like CM.

When I 1st updated the device to MM via OTA(after fully unrooting & flashing the stock recovery), I was not able to flash any superSu versions, the error was always decompressing ram disk failed, aborting.

Read in some post that S422 was updated to S424, please could anyone point me to a link to download the update, what is the last ROW ROM that can be downloaded, is it K50-a40_s117_15.06.07_ROW.

Please someone give an answer, I am confused with all these ROM versions.
[K3 Note General] emptywordsss:

A simple question once again, What is the difference between the various 16xx versions and the 42x versions floating around, are they simply territorial, ie Russian, ROW etc.
[K3 Note General] stone_henge:
Precisely. 16xx versions are meant for china.

"s3xx/s4xx" etc are ROW roms meant for outside of china.

I tried flashing "VIBEUI_V3.5_1613_7.17.1_DEV_K50-T5_WC5CBB18DB" over 1610 after a quick wipe cache, dalvik cache & system. Flashing was successful and flashed "K3_NOTE_PATCHED_BOOT_1608+_2.67.zip" immediately after flashing the ROM. Rebooted successfully.

Flashed "UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip" successfully.

Tried flashing Open Gapps "open_gapps-arm64-6.0-pico-20160226.zip" but when rebooted after flashing, caught into boot loop at the Lenovo logo and remain their for a long time (precisely till the battery dropped to 0%).

Any suggestions how to avoid the boot loop after flashing Gapps? Any other working Gapps for Dev 1613?

First post - so Hi All,

Just did OTA upgrade of S322 to S324. So now mobile data doesn't start with power on - Good!

But now, keep WAN on during sleep doesn't work. Anybody else have that problem? What about S424, does that have the same problem? Any suggestions?

Cheers
[K3 Note General] samsungandriod:
i have S422 then OTA to S424. i have found one bug: when taking photo, i cannot view the photo from the camera. i have to use other photo app to view the photo. just wondering if anyone has experience the same issue? what the fix? so i have to install another 3rd party camera? FYI, i have tried few cameras from the play store. but found no of them can save photo to SD card......Any suggestions?

by the way, this rom is very good, with excellent battery life and very smooth. if can fix the camera issue, will be the best rom i have used so far.

Just open the stock Gallery app, allow all permissions, and close it.

Your problem will be solved.

First of all, welcome to XDA!

...I don't think 424 has that problem. Huge downloads complete for me even while the screen is off for hours.

Looks like we're not getting 1616 and 1618. 2 updates in 4 weeks like the last month.

Stone_henge always includes step by step instructions which are very easy to follow.

I would recommend using one of his backups for the s424 ROW.

Otherwise you have to unroot your phone and flash the stock recovery to be able to install OTA updates. But just search this thread, it has been explained a few times here.

[K3 Note General] freegame619:
I was able to root s424 with the boot.img and superuser2.46 you provided, but when I tried to use superuser 2.71 beta or 2.65 final, its giving me the error decompressing RAM disk failed, when I tried to update su from 2.46 to 2.71 via apk, the error occurs when updating binaries process is carried out.

So I have to use only 2.46 Su or is there any other way.

Is there any way to get full external SD card access for all apps in MM, ie with some xposed mods or something of that sort, our device features double tap to turn on, but is there a way to add the feature to turn off with a double tap.

[K3 Note General] freegame619:

2. Flashed Stock Lenovo Recovery.

3. I tried OTA update but in Lenovo recovery it says install failed.

You need to flash the correct version of boot.img and recovery.img too.

S322 or S422

Or edit updater-script and update with TWRP.

[K3 Note General] jackgerald:
Those screenshots are old, from the stock rom... Don't mind it.
[K3 Note General] chaona:
Thanks [MENTION=6026840]stone_henge[/MENTION]. I might give Slick's S424 ROM a try in a day or two (I want root anyway).

You said that you get uninterrupted data transfers during sleep. Can you confirm that's with WAN always on during sleep, or are you using smart mode (which seems able to recover)? This was never a problem in the Lollipop stock ROM.

WLAN always on versus WLAN smart mode:

I'm listening to Tunein Radio and turn the phone screen off with the power button:

Case 1 - WAN set always on during sleep: After some minutes (e.g. 2, 5, 10) wifi drops, musics stops, and doesn't recover. After pressing power on, I can see in the lock screen that wifi icon is missing, but it comes back on almost immediately.

Case 2 - WAN set to smart during sleep: After some time wifi drops. music stops, but then will usually, but not always, recover after some time (probably dependent on buffering in Tunein and time to make data request).

If screen is always on there are no WLAN dropouts.

Another thing. I wonder if anybody has noticed that location services gets turned off after a long sleep period (deep sleep, I guess)? This was a problem in Lollipos stock ROM as well.

Thanks again.

---------- Post added at 12:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:46 AM ----------

Did you find an answer to this? This SD card protection is a feature, first seen in Kit Kat 4.4, called Storage Access Framework. Apps which require write access to the external SD card are supposed to use it. There were ways around it in Kit Kat and Lollipop if the device was rooted and involved making a change to a permissions xml file.

If you want a camera app that can save pics to the external SD then you probably need to find one that uses the storage access framework. One such is Open Camera, which works for me.

Also, if you don't like the stock file manager, I've found that ES File Manager works using the framework to write to external SD. It didn't seem to work in S322 (for me anyway) but does in S324. Other file managers may also work, but I've been using ES for years and it's OK for me.

Hope this helps (a bit anyway).

Just found a hidden shortcut by accident on the 1604 ST, maybe some of you already knew this but:

When you're in the recents apps screen if you hold the brush/clean icon you are taken to the running apps screen within the app manager ;)

[MENTION=7279355]chaona[/MENTION] try FX File Explorer
[K3 Note General] chaona:
:good: Agreed. FXFE is really nice and has a great UI. It also uses SAF to get write access to the SD card.

Anyone, full Ext SD Card access for all apps in MM, double tap to turn off the screen, can't find any apps or xposed modules to do these actions.
[K3 Note General] stone_henge:
There is a veeeeeeery easy solution. And that is: The stock camera app CAN save photos to sd card.

Open camera app > Press settings icon (top-left) > press three dots tab > set "Storage Location" to sd card.

*Also, if you want a 3rd party camera app to make it able to save photos to sd card without any hastle, just make it a system app with Lucky Patcher

And sorry [MENTION=4789989]samsungandriod[/MENTION], i somehow overlooked that portion of your query.

I did the following:

- Set WLAN "always on during sleep"

- Cancelled optimization of the app i want to keep running during sleep mode (Settings > Power Manager > Battery Optimization > Select "all apps" from the list on top)

- Made sure the app is checked green on Settings > Power Manager > Background app management

Really thanks for this! I found a hidden feature in MM by following your trick!

If you press and hold the brush/clean icon on recent apps panel in MM (on s424 right now), the "PIN APP" icon (pin symbol) appears on every app, which helps to exclude an app from auto cleaning. It helps a loooot when you need to clean the RAM but keep the foreground app/game running.

I thought they removed this feature from MM but now found it!

What is with all the XXXXXXXX in the OTA ROM 'VIBEUI_V3.0_1604_7.209.1_ST_K50-T5_TO_VIBEUI_V3.1_1613_5.252.1_ST_K50-T5_WCXXXXXXXX.zip'
[K3 Note General] chaona:
Camera - Seems like the Lucky Patcher solution might be the way to go if you're rooted. I just checked stock camera on my phone. Setting storage location to SD Card in settings saves photos to phone memory (emulated/0/DCIM/Camera). Setting it to save to Phone - it now saves to the external SD card! (Yes, I do know how to use radio buttons.) Only saves to DCIM/Camera in both cases though, you can't specify another folder.

WLAN and Battery Optimization-Tried it and it works. :good::good:Many, many thanks for that. (What a way to make phones easy for the average user!)
[K3 Note General] zelendel:
Just a reminder. That lucky patcher is a warez app and is banned on the site. So let's not mention it or its usage.
[K3 Note General] preditcon:
[MENTION=6026840]stone_henge[/MENTION], this happened again (no second snooze alarm). I remember increasing the volume of the alarm clock prior to the issue via Volume Up/Down then the down arrow ( ˇ ) to expand the volume options. Still unable to reproduce. Also, I had the (repeating) alarm disabled on Monday - re-activated it in the evening. I think this might be what causes it since it manifested on Tuesday (today).

I did zero modding on s422 slick backup, btw. No exposed, etc. Just installed/restored a couple of apps. The only ones with root access are Quick Reboot, SD Maid, Sophos Security and Titanium Backup.

I'll update to s424 and hope for the best, though changelog of the OTA doesn't mention alarm clock at all.

Again, I'm asking for people to test the alarm clock on 6.0 ROWs, so we can report this to Lenovo.

I prefer Titanium Backup far better to turn user apps into system apps and vice versa.

Hey guys, short question.

I downloaded a theme from the stock themecenter (1604_st ROM). It's kinda a vanilla looking icon theme. You can see it in the first screenshot. It works fine with the "Lenovo Launcher".

I would like to use these icons on my Nova Launcher. If I go to "Look & feel" -> "Icon Theme" in Nova and I select "System" it doesn't work.

What is odd about that is even if I use the default "Marshmallow" Icon Pack which is included in Nova, icons like the Dialer, Contact, SMS and SnapIt don't change. In the Lenovo Launcher however they change.

I hope you can understand what I'm trying to say :)

Is this due to old scatter file used with sp_flash tool or it is normal for CM?
[K3 Note General] srgudhka:

"Updater process ended with ERROR: 7"
[K3 Note General] br0wni3:
The update is only possible in a native (pure) system which was not previously changed. For example rooted, patched, TWRP...

Install like this(you need to unroot/flash stock recovery before):

1 Download the .zip you need

2 Rename to update.zip

3 Copy to sdcard

4 Restart phone in stock recovery (hold volume buttons up and down + power)

5 Install upgrade pack

6 Yes

[K3 Note General] hackerpower:
What you downloaded was just a skin that only works with the stock launcher.

Only the stock launcher can use that skin over the default icons that you get/appear to choose on Nova. i'm also on Nova BTW.

There are lots of icon packs in the play store that you can use with Nova...

But the problem is that when you for example enter the recent apps screen, it always shows the defauly icon to identify the app and not the one you're using that's why i don't change them.
[K3 Note General] ftechno:
A new stable rom show up in my phone
[K3 Note General] br0wni3:
Thanks for answering!

However there is still one thing I don't understand:

I installed a popular icon pack for Nova Launcher(Moonshine). Apps like instagram, playstore, twitter etc got the new icon. But the dialer, sms, contacts did all stay the same. Anyway I can change that ?

(I know the icons in the "recent apps" panel will be unchanged, thanks for clearing that up!)
