Sorry i don't have any heat issue, just i tried to help others resolving most common way.

but i think in my experience of lenovo vibe k5 plus (after disable blots apps and background app) there is nothing remain to boost, i using 360 security app, at boosting it say 1% boosted as expected.

---------- Post added at 02:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:36 PM ----------

It is Aluminium cover, cover is divided in 3 pies, top and bottom is plastic and middle is Aluminium and also device specification say aluminium back cover,

for that i tried not to use/charge phone for an hour, and that aluminium part get metallic cold at room temperature and also back cover is heavier then normal plastic covers.

well!! but i don't know how pure it is or may be just a little layer of aluminium.

If helps, I tested it on S042 ROM for A46, and S032 ROM for L36.
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] sullivan781:
Is not necessary a unlock code, just run "fastboot oem unlock" command. Every single time I tried this command, it failed, so I'm supposing that bootloader is unlocked when you check "OEM unlocking" on Developer Options. I installed sucessfully TWRP even not knowing if my bootloader was unlocked or not.

I don't understand much what you mean, but you can give these commands a try.

The root method don't affect the phone, only if you permanently flash the recovery. And, if you flashed the recovery for root or something else, you can try flash the ENTIRE ROM for you model (L36 or A46). You will findo links and instructions some posts above.

You have Qualcomm drivers installed

Xposed installation guide needed,

i did twrp+root of course, and followed official xposed installation guide for lollipop on xda,

tried v85, v80 and v72 of arm64 framework zip files

but this device left me two choice, either use xposed or other all apps (ANR dialogs as open any apps also every time popup of play service) (look, here no issue with xposed apk v3 alfa, but framework as flashed), thankfully i downloaded uninstall zip too so get system normal.

i tried arm (32bit) version zip , but twrp error me.

idk if this issue already been asked and solved, apologize for this if..

thankyou

Sorry, but I don't understand anything
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] jwchen119:
Since many user asked me how to install xposed, I believe I've been posted last few pages, but there's the detail:

1. Flash any pre-root firmware or you can flash TWRP then get root by flash SuperSU.

2. Install Flashfire from Play (big thanks to Chainfire).

3. You can download any version of xposed version but I suggest the latest(go for sdk22/arm64)

4. Open up the app, first press "+" on the right bottom and chose "Flash ZIP or OTA"

5. "Uncheck" mount /system read/write and "check" Auto-mount option then press tick and FLASH.

6. Be patient when booting, it will take long time optimizing the system.

7. Done.

sorry to disappoint you, but your method gone worse,

when flashing with twrp, some app are capable to run like ui , launcher , settings, etc, just i think user app and system updated apps could not be able to run.

but with flashfire , Android started and no bootloop, but after black screen with just ANR (app not responding) popups endlessly.

something need to be edited in this,

how many of you have installed xposed without problem and which exact version and from where.
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] jwchen119:
This method is working perfectly for me without any problem at all, maybe there's some difference between K32c36 and a6020l40/a6020a40

I can't flash TWRP, I'm curious why you guys can bypass the bootloader detection, any custom kernel/recovery can't be flash when bootloader is still locked.

Every time I try to flash recovery, bootloader just block me, when flash by Flashfire, I cannot enter the recovery, just black screen.

Anyway, this method works for me without TWRP.

because a6020 having option to unlocking OEM
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] jwchen119:
I believe you are just kidding, every locked device have that option in developer option tab.

It just a option enabled on system, you also have to do "fastboot oem unlock" to get the "real" unlock.

guys what about overclocking

need overclock support kernel
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] bittooshubham:
The device is running without lag. Then why you need overclocked kernel? Want your device to get burnt?
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] romulocarlos:
The kernel idea is somehow valid. Cyanogen can use this. Not only for overclock, but to have more control about speed and cores.

I remember, my jurassic Xperia X2 was powered by Cyanogen. I was able to control CPU speed in 'settings' as app basis (for, example, when playing Angry Birds, the device gets more speed. when I exit game, or device is idle/contacts/others, CPU set at slower speed). For K5, I think we can have a similar app or setting to control speed and/or enable/disable cores as needed!
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] samuro625:
You (probably) can use this recovery at your phone, because theorically it's the same device. But, I readed about slightly differences with our models. I recomend you use the recovery on temporal functionality ("fastboot boot recovery.img") and test your phone without damage it.

PD: Don't flash the boot or modem/radio files. You will lose GSM signal!

---------- Post added at 06:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:26 PM ----------

Idk, but hard reset (TWRP) is a problem thing here for this device, or may be a big advantage, that is internal memory don't get wiped, and it's read-only for third party file mgr, read-only I mean not fully read-only, you can put files in internal memory but can't delete (well, built in file mgr can do and third party apps can modify with permission of built in file mgr) , but what about app data that is hidden and fragmented after reset and you need to delete that too of course, well nothing but may be factory reset from settings might helpful.

Second thing, may be because, TWRP actually cannot detect internal storage location on root, and make its own internal location, if it want to save backup or browse that for restore/instll.
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] romulocarlos:
Strange. I tried again here, and same issue: Force closing Play Services! Even with hard reset, the error appears. Maybe don't work on our device yet.

About Kernel dev, any help is welcome here. We're trying to build a device tree for CM.

About TWRP and internal memory, FYI, TWRP uses "emulated" Internal Storage, meaning /data/media/0

Instead of Lenovo OS/Rom, which uses /data/media/

That means, in TWRP you don't see files (which are in the parent directory), but making a backup is workging fine, and TWRP backups are available in OS Mode, in the "0" directory of your internal storage.

About that, the only thing I can recommend is :

- Make a backup of your system partition

- Trying do upgrade or downgrade the Google Service & Google Play APKs in system (maybe with a ultra minimal Gapps package, like Pico BanKs)

- Factory reset, and check if Xposed is working better

Cheers,

[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] bik95122:
the thing is , its not matter I got any notification or not, it just appear from nowhere. may me its happening by any app or something (kidding way of talk, something is starts blinking and forgetting to stop it), but i don't want to care about this, just patiently waiting for CM

---------- Post added at 11:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:44 AM ----------

thankyou, i found that "0" folder and my backup files in it on internal storage.

About Xposed, all user apps even xposed app stops working as installed, so as according to guidance on official Xposed thread i wiped cache/dalvik cache and all user and xposed start working normally except gapp, may be no one has tried factory reset method, as data lose risk just for 'hope' that 'may be' work, but again i don't want to care about it, patiently waiting for CM, may be CM don't require to be xposed, as its already fully loaded with features.
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] romulocarlos:

[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] EverLost123:
I've experienced some lagging too, but it's usually related to graphical-related tasks, this adreno 405 sucks for 1080p. but otherwise there isn't too much to expect from the cpu, it's not a top tier
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] romulocarlos:
Here in Brazil we have detected various units with flash memory with poor performance. A lot of them, in fact. Read speeds are about 100Mb/s, but WRITE speeds are about 12Mb/s. Is too little.

My unit don't heat and don't have lags, but it have these poor numbers. I'll send back to Lenovo and reclaim another unit, because these numbers are maybe related with poor battery life, too.

Check yours with Disk Speed Test, maybe is the problem.
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] EverLost123:
I didn't knew about these r/w problems, i will check mine for this

btw, i'm kinda disappointed with the device. Ok the screen is nice, sound, build quality is ok but i've expected Galaxy-S4 like user experience, which has similar specs, but honestly it seems way worse. besides CPU-RAM related things, my iPod 5th has better user experience than my Vibe. I wish i could find an iPhone 5+ with 32GB+ and Jailbreak-able OS version, finance-able for less than R$100 a month but i couldn't.

EDIT: Oh god

btw, isn't it because the system limits the performance to SD-levels to not throttle? idk
