I use Vibe 1631 v2 by VDT, and have no issues with calls.

To receive instantly notification from certain app, you must allow that app to autostart, to be in the background, allow background data (SecurityIt->Pure Backround) and to not to be power optimised (Settings->Power managed->Power optimization).

Vibe is my daily ROM, just because of battery life. I you don't mind slightly worse battery life, try SudaMod by LR Team or CM12.1 by LR Team. Those are 5.1.1 ROMs, has some Chinese apps (which are easily removed) but are most complete ROMs I tried (everything works). Some people complained about sound flickering issue September releases of those ROMs, so I suggest to try Jun one (I used them for 3-4 months as daily ROM and didn't notices issues at all).
[K3 Note General] locolyric:
hi All,

i try to flash some rom and it returns no such directory . What is going on ? recovery issue or ???

there is something like below

could not detect filesystem for /dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/by-name/system, assuming extension mount : failed to mount /dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/by-name/system at /system: No such file or directory unmount of /system failed; no such volume

updater process ended with signal : 11

Error installing zip file

======================

i re-flash a "latest" twrp and now i can install every rom i like, thanks alot.
[K3 Note General] Salvadorfreeman:
Thanks it worked.

It might be a good idea to add this into the tutorial.

But I still have the memory problem - but that's a separate issue/thread.
[K3 Note General] srinisan68:
Hi,

I was able to flash the Rom but got stuck at Initializing screen. Need your help to proceed further.

This is what I did....

1) Extracted system.img ( 1631_v2 - SP Flash tool version ) files into a systems folder

2) Took Boot.img file ( 1631_v2 - SP Flash tool version )

3) Took Meta-Inf folder ( 1631_v1 - TWRP flashable zip )

Zipped all the 3 files and flashed in TWRP Recovery

Flashed successfully but Initializing screen stuck at 5% and not moving further.

Pls help

TIA

Hi everyone, can someone point me to a download link for a 5.1 based Vibe rom that's flashable through TWRP? I can't seem to find a working download link and I want to see if a Lollipop Vibe ROM will work better than the AOSP one that I'm currently running and have problems with...
[K3 Note General] drakula1000:
Try this one https://cloud.mail.ru/public/5EQ3/8WicprBEZ It is 1604st

Or this one https://cloud.mail.ru/public/58vU/sZG45HpEx It is also 1604st but it is VDT version. Russians usually make things better... but with price of some Russian language in contact list or somewhere else...
[K3 Note General] livgrave:
Are you sure that these are Lollipop ROMs? I checked and 3.1 versions of Vibe are Marshmallow based....
[K3 Note General] drakula1000:
Yes, I am. Actually, Russians made 1604st with 6.0 kernel, but it is not the one I am suggesting in second link.

Hi guys, could anyone recommend the best custom rom for k 3 note that is stable with best battery performance and everything working and no bugs??? been searching all over the place for months :/ really getting headache with stock rom .. :/
[K3 Note General] drakula1000:
VibeUI 1631st by VDT (MM ROM) , Sudamod and CM12.1 by LR Team, both jun releases (LP ROMs)
[K3 Note General] rigerp:
thank you for prompt reply :)

---------- Post added at 12:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:06 PM ----------

umm sorry to bug you again. Could you plz link for VibeUI 1631st byy VDT MM rom? Im trying but unable to find the link :/
[K3 Note General] drakula1000:
No problem, here it is: 1631v1 by VDT

This is version 1 of the ROM and is flashable using TWRP (there is also SP Flash Tool version). V2 of the ROM is flashable only with SP Flash Tool, unless someone here make TWRP version (see post 6195)
[K3 Note General] 911-Future_Maker:
Oh crap! Unbelievable I checked the link before posting, it seems they removed the tutorial upon I posted here. :D

[K3 Note General] Shadpwness:
Been using Limonchelo for a year now, but it's really getting laggy, tons of apps crash out of the blue, was thinking of updating to 6.0, should be more stable probably. Anyone knows how to update without having to install the new ROM again? (using 5.0 - limonchelo novamod mdsteam)

Or perhaps any suggestion(s) on what ROM should I be using, which is considered stable? (currently, (fb) messenger crashes like every 5 minutes, phone's lagging real hard, my mom's using the same configuration as I am, and she's having the same problems with her phone, I noticed it since I've updated the fb messenger, but oddly enough, asked couple of friends, no one seems to be having any troubles with it like I am, so I guess it must be the incompatibility with this outdated ROM)
[K3 Note General] Sam spancer:
rom

well same question i am also asking,

it is wise to use vibe 1629 as of now , its only not perfect but better than others in stability, and i can trust no other custom rom for stability till now
[K3 Note General] drakula1000:
If you don't like 1631v2 by VDT, then original 1629 is probably the solution for you...
[K3 Note General] Kujo2020:
I'm having a weird charging issue with my K3 Note. It will not charge once booted into the OS. I can only charge with phone off, and it's very picky with what chargers and cables will work. I thought it might be an issue with the ROM I had been using as it was acting strange in general, so I wiped (data,system,cache dalvik,internal) and flashed with another ROM (initially tried the new Swift ROM found on needrom.com, then I tried 1631 vdt v1, no change, currently back to Swift ROM).

Any idea's? Not sure if there is some rooted tool I can use to tweak some setting or something. Phone just refuses to charge once fully booted. It won't charge when connected to PC either, no USB detected. Don't think it's a hardware issue, but could be wrong.
[K3 Note General] Not_James_Bond:
Try any row or dev build rom ( I am on vibe ui 1631 dev) and debloat it yourself and Install any good kernel than u r good to go. Have a good day

had any one tried flashtool version of vdt v2 rom from needrom , is it proper working ?
[K3 Note General] drakula1000:
I am using it since it is released. But, I downloaded it from 4pda.

Didn't noted any bug. Best battery life of all ROMs I tried
[K3 Note General] zelendel:
Warning to all. Do not mention 4pda. That site is banned here as are all refs to it.
[K3 Note General] olgutza34:
I understand banning links, but banning mentions??? Are we in Dark Age or something? Most prolific russian developpers are posting in pda.ru. And this is a fact, not an elucubration. As long there isn't a updated ROM database related to latest developpments in this forum, people should know about other resources.
[K3 Note General] varadinum:
It is a pity! But, there are also great developers there. They are not worse than the others. :(

[K3 Note General] zelendel:
XDA doesn't support any site that violates the GPL. Being human has nothing to do with it. The site does things that are illegal in different countries and as such is banned. It is treated as a Warez site.
[K3 Note General] varadinum:
OK! I respect it. Thanks.
[K3 Note General] olgutza34:
As far as I know, when using Android we agree with GPL lines and the fact that we have to use Google framework and Google services as pay for Android OS. Can you punish a whole country, who agreed to support Android development without Google stuff? Especially when we are talking about China here. They install Google package for selling their phones outside their country. In China mainland almost no one uses this services, they have their own.

What I want to underline is that we don't have to go to extremes. Agree that pda.ru are hacking a lot of proprietary software without developer or proprietary consent, but this doesn't mean to punish forum users who dare to mention about. You can't learn the path of light without studying a bit the dark side of the things.
[K3 Note General] zelendel:
This has nothing to do with Google. You are wrong about the gpl. There are very simple rules to it.

Either way. This is not open for debate. The rules are simple. You can talk about them all you want. Just not on this site.
[K3 Note General] drakula1000:
OK, sorry for that. I know the rules, but I was in rush...

Since there are posts not related to the topic (initiated by my mistake), I suggest to moderator to delete them.

Guys.. What ROM are you using right now? I am having the 1622ST and not really satisfied with it especially the MM 6.0 stuffs (not being able to move apps to SD, long boot times after installing Xposed, etc.). So, I have decided to go back to 5.1. Can any of you please tell me which was the last 5.1 build (DEV or ST) that was stable, good battery life and, most importantly, has the Vibe UI (not the AOSP mix Vibe UI)?

Thanks

I need help on using SYTEMLESS ROOT SR5-SuperSU-v2.78 on stock rom S327 on K50a40.

Whenever i flash the SR5-SuperSU-v2.78 file it ends in

ERROR :

Ramdisk compression failure - Aborting.

Please suggest some ways to get past this error because I need systemless root for playing Pokemon GO by using SU-Hide v0.55 and Xposed 86.2(SYSTEMLESS).
[K3 Note General] drakula1000:
I use 1631v2 by VDT, just because of battery life. I didn't try to move apps to SD. Booting after instalation of Xposed is longer, but I think that was the case with all ROMs I tried.

I think 1604st was ROM some people was using and was satisfied with battery life (try searching the thread). There is also VDT version of the same ROM. Russians usually make thing better, but I didn't try this one.
[K3 Note General] hackerpower:
Hey guys!

Has anyone found a solution for the rapid drop from 40% to 20% in our battery percentage yet?

Always had this issue with all the roms i've tried until now...:(
[K3 Note General] greekfragma:
Hey [MENTION=5106992]hackerpower[/MENTION]

You may have a faulty cell on your battery and you see this drop with all the roms.

The software only measures what the hardware provides and recalibrates when you flash a new rom with a clean flash wiping all the written data.

Most of the times as also seen on laptop batteries the problem is a faulty cell on the battery pack that's why I am suggesting you the same for your K3.

If you can find a spare battery you will know for sure.
[K3 Note General] drakula1000:
Drop is the least noticeable on 1631 by VDT, in my opinion. Faster discharge begins with 30%, but it is not dropdown like on other ROMs, and it stops at 20%. That is the main reason why I use that ROM. Of course, this depend on apps you are using and how intensively you use them, so it may be different. I don't play games or use any hardware demanding app, and I use Greenify for most apps, so in memory is just what must be.

Edit: Someone may think I advertise VDT, but the true is that ROM I mention is best compromise that I can get, to have all things I need on the phone with decent battery life (meaning, battery lasting for one whole day with intensive usage and not asking myself where to plug in the phone)
[K3 Note General] Sam spancer:
still remains a question 1629 or 1631?

hackerpower as suggested 1629 as a best stable and i can say i have not found any bug yet but battery is not much batter
[K3 Note General] drakula1000:
After I install some ROM and set up all apps I plan to use, I always wipe cache and dalvik cache, and also turn off phone and take off battery for couple of minutes (after first boot after wiping). Then I do full charge, after which it is possible to compare battery life with some other ROM.
[K3 Note General] POQDavid:
Sorry for asking this but i am really confused because A7000 plus is really similar to K3 Note and scatter file from the A7000 forum is not working for that phone so i was wondering if the scatter files and patched boot image from K3 Note going to work on A7000 Plus or not

[K3 Note General] greekfragma:
You should get a micro-sd to sd adapter and check your card on a card reader. it's not unusual to just have a faulty card.
[K3 Note General] drakula1000:
It might be up to the SD card. I am using third card at the moment. When died, the second one, has shown similar behavior. But it might be coincidence.
[K3 Note General] greekfragma:
After testing all Nougat roms publishedI must say there are a lot of problems. Battery life is bad (40-50% less than Marshmallow roms) and there are also bugs with radio/calls even after flashing the universal modem patch. . If you want daily driver and steady rom you should stay with 6.0.1 roms and avoid those 7.1.1 ones. They are not ready yet.
[K3 Note General] drakula1000:
But, is it really good that there are people working on ROMs for our device. Results will eventually come...
[K3 Note General] greekfragma:

there has been lot of updates on needrom and k3note development in xda.

many of you test those roms and if ufind better you use as daily driver.

I request you all to please share only your best experiences and besttests which are about cm13 and you find can be a substitute after vibe marshmellow.

Hi.

I've been using the indian row for a while but decided to try the ViBEUI 3.5 for a change.

I'd like to do clean installation and that's why I didn't use a TWRP from needrom etc.

Tried to do the trick:

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

and drag the file out (same as copy/paste)

- Use Notepad++ to open it and edit the updater-script.

- Delete all the lines until:

show_progress(0.750000, 0);

ui_print("Patching system image unconditionally...");"

It actually flash the rom, but it won't boot.

If I install a custom boot.img it woks but I really want a stock rom atm.

Is it possible to have a full unmodded VIBEUI 3.5 or I do really need to use a custom boot.img?
