Okey, I have now spflash tool running and I have recovery img. What els I need to get recovery?
[K3 Note General] 1112567:
Hey could I change home screen style
[K3 Note General] TheDarkKnight:
You don't use much mobile data or WiFi, right??

I use mobile data quite a lot.. Should be around half an hour in 2 hours..

But 5-6 hours is still awesome.. Do you underclock or something?? There.. I just 4% in the last 5 minutes with only mobile data+Tapatalk+a page in chrome..

I think I have messed up my battery ? [emoji17]

Is just me or is CPU using this much battery for everyone in idle?? In the ROW ROM, there was some simple battery that seemed to limit CPU usage. Yes, this was the case even before the battery started acting weird..
[K3 Note General] zalskin:
What scatter file I need to use?
[K3 Note General] Toroze´:
can I flash the twrp recovery with cmw recovery without stress
[K3 Note General] mahdisalami:
Mine also has a 40% to 20% drop no matter what kind of Rom I'm using. battery calibration also doesn't help.

But surly it's false because from 20% to 0% it takes much longer than normal.

My current software is 5. Lollipop I want 6.0 marshmallow kindly provide me.for lenovo k3note k50a40
[K3 Note General] TheDarkKnight:
Marshmallow update is yet to be released. Most probably in March. Please search these kind of queries in Google first
[K3 Note General] hackerpower:
Yes of course, that's a normal procedure. If you're rooted you can even flash it in the OS using flashify.

Thanks.......Okay the vibe 3.0 1544 dev rom on your Google drive does it have any Chinese elements in it, does the led work and if I'm flashing the rom do i need to do any thing else other than just flash like update the script like it says on the first page
[K3 Note General] machak10:
I flashed that rom and everything works fine.LED notifications are working.You need to flash it through TWRP recovery (at least i did it that way).Only problem i face is that Google services sometimes stop to respond.
[K3 Note General] hackerpower:
Please don't confuse others!

There's 1544 Dev, 1544 ST and a TWRP backup of 1544 Dev made by me.

Which one are you referring to?

I advise you to flash latest Dev which is 1552.
[K3 Note General] Fexo:
Soon be time for the K4 Note thread!
[K3 Note General] Toroze´:
Okay is the 1552 on the drive
[K3 Note General] oldfold:
I don't know why many are complaining about battery.. I normally have around 5 hours on time before having less than 15% charge and putting the phone in a power source in the evening.. That is primarily using WiFi I only use mobile data when on the way home or to work maybe two hours a day and full day on Sundays when I am away from WiFi.. As you can see by the screen below. Since morning and now its 15.07

Why did you start using Modem: VIBEUI_V3.0_1544_7.303.1_DEV_K50-T5 and not the 1552 modem?
[K3 Note General] hackerpower:
Because sometimes i would get "process phone has ended" after a restart and i was tired of the R sign appearing sometimes after a restart.

[IMG="K4 Note"]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CXcR4vFU0AQtIea.jpg[/IMG]

It looks ugly to me, HTC One M9 evil brother?

All metal body

5.5'' FHD screen

4GB Ram

Fingerprint sensor in the back

NFC

3300 mAh battery

The one thing i am interested in knowing no one knows, what is the cpu?

BTW, good specs without good software aren't good for nothing, just look at my wife's ulefone be touch 2, all specs and no performance.
[K3 Note General] hackerpower:
Here are some SS i just took now, i disconnected my phone from the power source today at around 6:45am, i used a lot of data today coming to work, bluetooth always on in the car accepted many calls, wifi on many time, played 20-30 min of nfs no limits with wifi on, watch many hd clips on youtube and...

...with 3hrs of SOT i still have 36% left.

PS: And i have 2 SIM cards active which drain even more battery, instead of 1 SIM trying to get optimal signal, i have 2! which next to the screen is the thing that drains more battery.
[K3 Note General] TheDarkKnight:
WHAT?? [emoji33]

Tell me you are using some kinda mods/tricks.. BTW, I'm starting to have a bit more better battery life. Got over 5 hrs SOT and still about 10%.. I don't know what changed it. But you said you played games, used WiFi+mobile data a lot of time. I must try changing this ROM.

---------- Post added at 08:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:35 PM ----------

It isn't released (January 5 is the event date) and all those are wrong or rumours except NFC and fingerprint scanner.. The picture is of Vibe X3 (http://m.gsmarena.com/lenovo_vibe_x3_c78-7756.php) or Lenovo A7010 (http://m.gsmarena.com/lenovo_a7010-pictures-7802.php). It maybe the same but it is not known for certain. It will have 3 GB of RAM (see [MENTION=376228]lenovo[/MENTION]_in in twitter-the hastag you used is used by them) and not 4. And the rest are rumours too.

New to the thread - Request for brief step-by-step instructions.

Hello,

Could Hackerpower or someone provide a brief step-by-step protocol of how to install a custom ROM on this device. I just obtained this device here in the USA and have the stock VibeUI system. I see elsewhere in XDA-dev a windows program to root the device - is this the best way to go with the goal to install the custom ROM?

I see that H-power likes the VibeUI ROM that he maintains. I could install it, if it is the best option. Will it have the lenovo bloatware? Will it keep killing communication apps and running app installation scripts like the current stock?

Thanks in advance!
[K3 Note General] Armageddonn_mkd:
Hey mate, i will install the vibe ui 1552 also, i got row now but sometimes this rom hangs.It was ok at start but now it hangs a bit.

As for bloatware i have no idea, people said lenovo removed the bloatware in later vibe ui roms, there are just few apps(like every other phone besides nexus) and not much bloatware.

[MENTION=5106992]hackerpower[/MENTION]

Do i need to first in install the vibe ui 3.0 1552 and than again enter recovery and install the modem based on 1544?

And also to everyone else that wants links, just click on hackerpower signature and get the rom and twrp.
[K3 Note General] Hitman:
Did google copies all marshmallow features from lenovo, because some of the maie features of android marshmallow 6.0 are already provided by lenove in lollipop rom i.e 1. App permission control 2. Long press home to launch Google now 3. Deep sleep etc.?
[K3 Note General] thinkgadgetsme:
All these features are not Lenovo exclusives. Other OEMs has also implemented these features in their ROMs. App permission control is also present in Xiaomi ROMs as well as long press home key to google now.
[K3 Note General] salami.mahdi:
In ROW s205 after first boot it pop ups that Google play service is not supported by your device!.I dont know why this device has so much problem with Google play both in this and in Chines Rom! aslo after upgrading the google app it says Google play has stopped and then nothing works correctly. why would lenovo put some google app that doesnt work in its official Rom?

anyone faced such problem?!

I would ask the author of the topic to be able to share screenshots of power menager from different versions of rom's to evaluate and most appropriate options.

Yes, the roaming R sign is still there. When i installed 1552 and super Su on top of that this roaming R sign went away. don't know why that happened. anyways i am just ignoring that sign.

Okay peeps I flashed Xposed and there's nothing on my phone the app isn't there

It still hasn't appeared here in mine, everything OK and i've restarted a bunch of times.

I don't understand what you mean or want to say, but i don't use any features of the stock power manager, everything is off.

You mean you flashed Xposed framework, now you have to install the apk and then the modules you want.

Finally managed to get the dev rom working. I have tried 1544, 1552 and the recent 1553 versions. Invariably each one of these crap out after installing gapps. The home screen would just go blank but the lock screen would show up fine. I pulled down the status bar from the lock screen, chose settings - apps - lenovo launcher and clear cache. Bingo! The home screen showed up. Just posting this if anyone else is facing this issue.

Brilliant rom I must say. Love the vibe touches to the vanilla Android. No issues so far other than a roaming R symbol but it does not bother me.
[K3 Note General] thinkgadgetsme:
I am facing some issues with gravitybox for LL after installing Dev 1553. It is crashing again & again.

Anybody else facing this problem?
[K3 Note General] kpkeerthi:
Works fine here with 1553
[K3 Note General] thinkgadgetsme:
I have cleared the dalvic cache and cache also but still it is closing with same message. Not sure what's the issue.
[K3 Note General] jackgerald:
Its nothing to worry about, its common on vibeui, that after flashing gapps you're homescreen would turn blank for a while, its just common, dont worry xD. [emoji111]️[emoji3]

---------- Post added at 02:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:49 PM ----------

Did you flash xposed?

If not, you need to flash xposed framework, to get all the modules working :)
[K3 Note General] TheDarkKnight:
You are sure you flashed xposed after update and toggled GB in modules menu??

'cause this message comes in that case..
[K3 Note General] sachin.gokhale:
I am using VibeUI ROM 1552 since many days. Perfectly working. Today I thought lets flash Xposed. I flashed the same version mentioned in Signature of Hackerpower. But Phone got stuck in boot logo. I have to flash VIBEUI1553. To get back normal working phone.

Any idea what might have happened ?
[K3 Note General] Armageddonn_mkd:
[MENTION=5106992]hackerpower[/MENTION]

How are you finding the 1553 rom, better than 1552? No roaming sign, battery backup is good?
[K3 Note General] oldfold:
You have to give it time.. It's not stuck on bootloop. Sometimes xposed may take up to an hour to setup depending on how you have configured your phone. The longest I have waited was 45 minutes.
[K3 Note General] sachin.gokhale:
okay, that helps. Just to confirm, first Flash to flash SDK with recovery, wait for however it may take, and Then to install Alpha APK right ?
[K3 Note General] anonymous nandi:
how to update
[K3 Note General] sachin.gokhale:
Installed successfully just by showing enough PATIENCE.

Can anybody suggest list of usually required modules, I already have Greenify and Gravitybox.
[K3 Note General] tejaskid:
Help!!

Greetings All!

Just before Christmas I bought a Lenovo K3 NOTE off Aliexpress.com, a very good

price. Through trial and error and a couple of websites later, I came to XDA and

finally got root and flashed several different ROM's sucessfully (I think?).

Here is what I have so far:

Kenovo K50-T5

Android 5.1.1

Baseband K50T5.MR1.LWG.V4,2015/07/22 21:01

Phoenix ROM

modem_VIBEUI_V3.0_1544_7.303.1_DEV

I am missing something? Everything works except connecting to my carrier and adding or editing an APN?

“Access Point Name settings not available for this user”

Is there something I can do to get this phone to work here in the US (Straight Talk)? I live in Texas if that makes any difference.

Tejaskid

Resolved by getting a new SIM card from Straight Talk, working good on the T-Mobile network here in Texas!

Tejaskid:D
[K3 Note General] oldfold:
Those are the ones I use too. I don't think there's any other really useful one
[K3 Note General] stone_henge:
Can you please tell me from where you acquired the download links, as in your source of K3 NOTE Rom updates?

Thanks...
[K3 Note General] desteseu:
For the record, the CM 12.1 beta 2 ROM is excellent!!

Thanks to those who produced it! They should report to CM and have it listed among the unofficial ports.

Uninstall Gravity Box and reinstall it again, enable and reboot, then it will work! :cyclops:

[K3 Note General] oldfold:
I have a few questions about the modules you use.

Blurred UI is seemingly useless since the vibe UI naturally blurs the background whenever the notification panel comes over it.

Lollipop memory leak - I thought that was only useful in the ROW ROM cuz memory seems fine in the ViBe ROMs

YouTube Adaway - doesn't AdAway do the same job? Or the module takes away even the autoplay ads within YouTube videos?

And the other module I see about physical music button.. how useful is it?
[K3 Note General] TheDarkKnight:
I think that module allow playing next song by pressing volume up and previous by volume down. No, AdAway doesn't. YouTube AdAway removes ads that sometimes come before videos.

But about the other two modules, I was thinking the same thing.. Why are you using them hackerpower?
[K3 Note General] Armageddonn_mkd:
Anyone can provide me with the 1544 modem? Since the 1553 vibe ui still shows the R sign.

And also how come the recovery TWRP+2.8.7.2 doesn't have scatter file, how can i install it with sp flash tools?
[K3 Note General] jackgerald:
1:- Modem

2:- You dont need sp flash tools, just flash the zip in your current recovery.

[K3 Note General] blastoise91:
Wll that sign is not affect anything in particular? I also have 1553 and R sign.
[K3 Note General] Armageddonn_mkd:
Yeah but when i go near my country border and see the R sign i won't know if roaming is activated or not.
[K3 Note General] blastoise91:
Yeah, I understand. I won't go in near future. I hope they will fix this. 1553 is good, I only don't have led notifications, but that is not problem for me.

---------- Post added at 06:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:48 PM ----------

Which xposed version I need to choose from linked thread?

Too much download links :D

I have 1553 rom version and I want to install xposed through twrp.
[K3 Note General] Armageddonn_mkd:
Wait what? Led notification is not working in 1553?
[K3 Note General] blastoise91:
Not for me ?

Only red notification while charging. But not working with Whatsapp for example. Do I need to set up something?
[K3 Note General] hackerpower:
Blurred ui also blurs notifications and headers, plus you can choose how much blur, transparency, etc.

Memory leak module was only useful for 5.0.x versions, i left it there and forgot.

Physical button music control is the best thing ever for audiophiles like me. Never look at the screen, control all using hardware buttons assigned as you like with haptic feedback. next track, previous, play pause, volume, etc.

I have 1553 with stock modem and never had until now R roaming sign pop up.

BTW i always change in the build. prop the language and region values.

[K3 Note General] Armageddonn_mkd:
I think the R sign might be appearing if you flash gapps right after flashing rom, a person told me to install the rom, and connect to wifi, after i do that than to flash gapps, not sure if that is the reason for R showing.

And what are this for:

Product.locale.language=en

ro.product.locale.region=IN

And where do i change them?

I like it. (and why does every single thread become a tech support forum? This isnt "how do I root/get xposed work/etc.")
[K3 Note General] jackgerald:
Those are just for changing the region and language, you can easily change them by downloading build.prop editor from play store, or if you like to do it the manual way, redirect to /system/build.prop and search the lines and edit them :)
[K3 Note General] Armageddonn_mkd:
I see but can that be done before flashing new rom? I am from Macedonia and i want English language, what do i put?
[K3 Note General] jackgerald:
Nope you can't, you can only do it after flashing any ROM, Mmm, i think for your region you should type in FYROM and for language just type in en
