Sir [MENTION=4728673]Cuoco92[/MENTION] any plans on having custom rom based on 1617 release?
[K3 Note General] drakula1000:
Things are little bit better after couple full discharging and charging cycles. After every full charge I turn off the device and take out battery for a moment. Now I do not have so sudden drop from 40% to 20%. It is faster drain, but it is at least gradual.
[K3 Note General] 911-Future_Maker:
Thanks for the tip! I'll try that. :)
[K3 Note General] br0wni3:
Looks really good! I will flash it on the weekend.

I just have three questions, maybe you know the answers :)

Does it have this weird bug, that it will eat up the internal storage over time ? And do you know if xposed/viper4android are still working ? And how is the audio, do we need to boost the volume or is it fine ?

Thanks a lot for sharing.
[K3 Note General] Grigoris0r20r:
Hello! Otg function doesn't work anymore on the latest stable row rom?? I can't get it to work....

Edit:Fixed after restart.
[K3 Note General] mkos86:
I flashed this today and I can confirm that xposed and V4A works flawlessly [emoji106] I had to flash supersu 2.71 since V4A doesn't install on 2.65.

So far very fast and responsive rom. Sound seems loud enough for me at least...

When I check internal storage from setting it shows almost full but it seems that it mistakes internal from external memory, maybe that sd-card patch would help? But it doesn't seem to fill memory itself...
[K3 Note General] hackerpower:
You have my rooted and debloated TWRP backup in the 2nd page.
[K3 Note General] drakula1000:
Guys,

can latest MM ROMs (official after modification of updater script or the ones based on official) be flashed using TWRP 3.0.0-3 after patching with Dual boot tool (to be on SD card)?

Will it work, or I need to flash newer version of TWRP?

Thanks!

Edit: Updater scripts for official 1613ST and 1614ST are different from 1604ST. I think they will work after deleting lines untill "ui_print("Patching system image unconditionally...");", but also I think it will try to flash stock recovery also!
[K3 Note General] br0wni3:
Thanks a lot for your detailed answer mate !

And yes, the ROM probably takes your SD Card as internal storage. The Nexus v2 ROM by Dr.Root did the same thing.

Thanks for mentioning that, I will def flash the provided patch.
[K3 Note General] 911-Future_Maker:
I think this bug is only related to CM roms. Yes any sound mod will work, the rom is just cleaned from any of those. The audio without a sound mod seems good enough to me, but for listening music I'll definitely install V4A or MaxxAudio to boost the bass. ;)

I once had something similar happen to another phone after I changed a broken screen and it turned out to be the need for updated touchscreen driver since the manufacturer had also updated the latest batch. I'm at a loss, years of experience, but this one has got me stumped!
[K3 Note General] jaboneros:
i put a check on emmc checksum, but left the usb checksum unchecked.

and the boot time can be long, about 10 minutes, I waited it out.

summary of what I did on post #439.
[K3 Note General] sahalan:
Thanks for the reply, tried the DA checksum on emmc only, but no difference. There is the vibration at the beginning but the screen won't light up. Was working fine before the first flash.:crying::crying::crying:

OK, got it to work. Settings I used are as follows:

(connection setting)USB full speed, with battery (without battery, no benefit)

(Download setting) EMMC checksum marked only.

Download type: Firmware upgrade. Would not work for me with 'Download only'.

Hallelujah.

Sorry, but which version of sdk 22 did you flash? I Already tried with v71 and it doesn't enter the OS after that.

I only got it working on Android 5.0, never on 5.1 on VibeUI roms.

[K3 Note General] titouni:
Hello,

I have Lenovo K3 "K50-t3s"

First, I have installed the official rom K50a40_S112_150610_ROW and update it with online OTA update to Android 6.0

No problem with the phone, all was good.

Next, I tried to root the phone with TWRP Xancin and "UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip"

The recovery mode was successfully installed but now the phone just display "lenovo/android screen" on boot. Then I have a black screen that never ends

I don't know what to do now... Do you have any advice ?

Thank you
[K3 Note General] br0wni3:
Are you still able to boot into recovery ?

If yes, perform a wipe and reinstall the ROM. Or you could try to flash your old backup, if you have one.
[K3 Note General] 911-Future_Maker:
Yes, I forgot to mention that. Anyway to be honest it may work for LP too, but I didn't tried.

---------- Post added at 12:47 ---------- Previous post was at 12:46 ----------

Yes, it's correct. Just boot to TWRP and select flash "Image" instead of "ZIP"
[K3 Note General] br0wni3:
Thanks for the fast answer! :) I downloaded the image.

Just one more question: Do I have to flash the patch directly after I flashed the ROM. Or do I have to reboot and finish the setup first ?
[K3 Note General] 911-Future_Maker:
I can't 100% clarify this, but there is no reason it won't work if you just flash it no matter if it's after of before 1st boot. It will just swap the storage partitions.
[K3 Note General] emptywordsss:
Dont wipe anything just boot into recovery and Follow this Post That's easy :)

There are a few tuts on how to add multilanguage out there but don't use them. Not only do they replace your framework with another one not fit to your rom/system, they do not translate everything.

So, my short answer is: You can't add multilanguage.
[K3 Note General] drakula1000:
In the process of debloating of 1604ST I uninstalled something that is needed for VibeUI app manager to work. As a result, I do not have Apps item in settings. Anyone knows what I should left installed (to no repeat the same mistake again)?
[K3 Note General] greeshan:
Yes, you right. For translating ROM, some APK files(for example Settings.apk, Calculator.apk and other) should contain folders with translation(values-ru(ru - RUSSAIN), values-it(it - ITALIAN), and other languages). If this APK don't contain this folders(values-xx) - he stay without translation and framework-res.apk dont help you....
[K3 Note General] :
hi, here is the creator of the original NEXUS ROM, dr.root. i will create a new version of the rom with many bug fixes, better battery life, working LED and DT2W and better performance. stay tuned, i will release it here on XDA. i hope i can get this ready on next monday :D i didn't thought that my ROM, which was created in less then 24h, would be so famous for the K3 Note. i thought there would be some other devs, who have more time, to create a better rom. i will also release the jiayu RC5 port for the K3 Note. you can test it here

https://www.reddit.com/r/lenovok3note/comments/4ga1az/jiayude_s3_rc5_test_nexus_v3_base_maybe/

the only thing that dont work right is the camera, but i will fix it.
[K3 Note General] emptywordsss:
And mate one thing more about the camera,make posible option where we can choose to store(internal and external) the pictures/videos(internal was the only option in your latest Rom) so thumbs up for your work and hope you ll resolve this Camera issue

[K3 Note General] greekfragma:
Hello mate and thanks for your efforts. You give another breath on the life of our K3.

I will point out some things most people want to see on a rom.

-Full Pre-rooted

-Multilanguage 100%

-Full debloated of Chinese things

-More than 1.2gb of free RAM

-Double tap functions

-notification led and messages popup on lock screen.

-Camera improvements on fast focusing, option to adjust quality from 13mpx and lower (or higher if possible) along with SD card storage

-Dolby Atmos and loudspeaker volume adjustment to a higher setting

-Battery perfomance

-Proximity and light sensor corrections

-Fast charge option

-ad-spam-blocker

Most of the above are solved on 1613 ROW from Cuoco92 that I am using for about a month.

But I can say that RAM management is not that good and averages at about 900mb of free ram. we need a bit more.

You can read all other feedback on whats missing from people using the K3 but I think I have included a good list.

I am not sure if your pure Vanilla means Lollipop but I think its outdated and we want a pure Marshmallow one.

Thanks again for your efforts. Hope to have good news soon :) :good:
[K3 Note General] zelendel:
You do know that free ram is wasted ram on a linux based system right? That is part of the reason ram amounts have not jumped a whole lot in devices. There really is no need for free ram unlike windows.
[K3 Note General] greekfragma:
I don't understand your point. Ram in usage for basic functions is really important. There are applications that are RAM hungry and when your phone is left with 800MB of ram free has a huge impact whereas a clean rom that offers 300-400MB extra free ram will make the phone run smoother and with no delays or lags.
[K3 Note General] zelendel:
My point is that when android needs ram it will close out old apps. I normally only have about 160mb of free ram on my nexus 6 and not a studder to be found. If you are seeing this then it is due to the distro not the base OS. Free ram is wasted on a linux based system. Just look around and read a bit.
[K3 Note General] greekfragma:
So the one responsible for the lags is only the developer's work?

On my K3 if I am running at the same time facebook/ messenger/viber and google maps...if i get an incoming call or need to search for a contact name, the phone starts to slow down.

When you close all apps and free ram is above 1gb then whatever I start to use will run smooth and like a charm.
[K3 Note General] zelendel:
Then yes it is an issue with the what the OEM did to it. As I said I can run down to just baout no free ram and never see a slow down.
[K3 Note General] varadinum:
Here is the solution: do not use all the same. [emoji2]

[K3 Note General] oldfold:
On vibe UI free RAM is important. Just compare the performance of ROW ROMs vs DEV/ST ROMs that's when you will realize. The latter is exceptional because the extra available RAM is the reason for the better performance. ROW is laggy and closes down background applications more aggressively
[K3 Note General] buddy127:
You are facing problems because of processor not because of RAM..apps you mentioned like fb Viber gmaps etc are heavy apps and require full CPU usage and that's why such a issue since Mt 6752 is midrange SOC you face performance issue , Nexus 6 on the other hand uses top of the line SOC ..so long story short do not bother about your free RAM ...I was once a believer on more free RAM the better and use to tweek alot so as to get max free RAM but result were always bad performance ...as in Linux based system like Android free RAM is not as useful as it is in Windows..

If you want best performance n multitask install blisspop or cm by cheskin great Roms but downside no CPU throttling so while multitasking CPU temperature reaches upto 60 °c max ...if u want balance of performance vs temp u can check out cyberui 2.0 based on vibeui 1617 ..great ROM ..currently my daily , supports xposed and all modules like gravity box , multiwindow etc...hope it helps u :)

[K3 Note General] :
i just want to add, that ram has nothing to do with performance. sure, if you don't have many apps running in the background (which consume also CPU power) you phone will be faster and you will think its because of the free ram. but free ram is "WASTED" ram. because if the data which is need for an app start is not in the ram, then in need to be loaded from the much slower internal memory, but if the data is already in your ram, then the app can be loaded so much faster. and as soon as you "clear up" the ram with task killer apps, android load the needed data automaticly again in to the ram. and while android load the data again in the ram, you cpu, ram and internal memory get used, and you notice lags, because the system is already working in the background and need also react to you actions like app-use. so basically it makes only sense to close the apps which you don't use again in the next minutes or hours. and apps, that you use all the day long, should not be closed, because as i said, this will make the phone slower, every time you open the app again. i hope some understand my crappy english xD

so sure, you will see that my rom will consume less ram then other roms, but only because my rom is "ripped to the bone" - lite. just forget the ram, and focus on the real performance of the phone. also forget the benchmarks. the real-world performance is what you should care about.

most people think, that the hardware alone makes the phone fast. but i will tell you something. my very first smartphone, the htc wildfire S (one core, 600MHz, overclocked to 780 :D ) has performed better then my 2nd smartphone, which was a "china-phone" with a dualcore with 1GHz.

and perfect example would be also the samsung S6 and also the S7 i think. they have one of the best hardware specs you can find, but the cant run so many apps in the background like my 160€ Elephone P8000. both have the same amount of ram, 3GB, but i can have 17 apps opened in the same time, the S6 only 8 or so. and samsung is much, much bigger then elephone.

so please don't always look at the hardware, think about the software which runs on that device ;)

Yes initial setup is tricky but once you setup it's a breeze no issues at all...flash cyberui then FC fix zip then xposed then gapps reboot...in marshmallow by default apps do not get all permission so all FC so follow instructions in needrom page...I did same ...also give Google all permissions and also to system apps like contact sync calendar sync etc...that way u will be able to sync all of your data without issues...and it works fine..

Serial Number

Hi Mr. Hackerpower or others,

Posted this first in Q&A.

One more try, can't find anywhere an answer after searching around a long time.

After a mistake, not knowing what I did, I lost my nvram and serial number by format all/ download in SP Flash.

On India stock ROW rom's I can flash imei's, wifi & bt address, barcode (p/n) and serial number back on the phone using Maui Meta and SP Meta tool and showing correct on the "about phone/status" screen.

Only wondering around why only my serial totally changes to another one, from 8 digit to 16 digit number, when I flash from India ROW to a CN Vibe UI rom or Cm 12.1.

Imei etc. stays like it was and never had 0x01 nvram errors anymore in the many rom's I tried.

With stock Vibe UI LP versions serial changes to a KZAQ************ and with stock Vibe UI MM it changes to a SGAU************ number and p/n number totally disappeared. in LP & MM

I guess that the original (behind battery) serial is, mine has sticker with HA0***AH serial, or on my phone was, also stored somewhere else than the CUSTOM_SN where SP meta it writes in nvram and only readable/ used in India ROW rom's ??

Diiference between India Row and Vibe UI is another custom_sn file stored in system/bin/ in Vibe UI that looks related to this....??

Can somebody confirm that K50-T5 phones that came with official stock VibeUi rom really had the 8 digit serial, like shown behind battery, on " about phone/status" screen. Otherwise I can stop worry about it, it's not an issue only annoying

Just trying to find out where the serial comes from in Vibe UI stock roms.

Many thanks for an answer.
[K3 Note General] buddy127:
I m using latest vibe ui 1617 modded version named cyberui and my serial number is 16 digits..hope it helps

[MENTION=5704613]Meteordust[/MENTION]

Did same mistake seven months ago, when flashed a ROW ROM with delete all. Restored IMEI's with CHAMELEPHON app and never bothered about SN and other miscellaneous values. Not sure, but I think you can edit build.prop file to get original values back. As the romans says, QUI PRODEST? Phone worked well all this time.

ROM functionality doesn't hang on a petty serial number, unless you took the phone from a shop you can afford to send it back for repairs in case of failure. Mine was bought from a infamous chinese shop, and even it breaks I will not send it back, I will simply order another one.
[K3 Note General] Meteordust:
Okay many thanks, then I know that India ROW show 8 digits from custom_sn in nvram and others 16 digits (hardware related??).

Writing Imei's with Chamelephon I also used before but needed to use it everytime after flashing a rom.

Using build.prop I tried (ro.serialno= I believe) but not working, don't bother myself also about warranty, just want i right.

Maui Meta and SP-meta is permanent, Imei's etc get stored in Nvram (you need APDB & BPGLU files) so no need to use Chamelephon or Chamelemac anymore to write Imei's and Bluetooth/Wifi addresses each time after flashing new rom.

Many thanks.
