I did some more research and found out that it can't be done so maybe it's the issue with shims ask the rom Dev to fix this and btw gyroscope is not the only one who does not work but magnetometer also doesn't work in some models like mine (Lenovo Vibe K5 A40 with sd616) tell me if anyone else also doesn't work. Gravity and game rotation vector sensors also don't work in my device. Is anyone else facing these issues?

Edit: I just found a xposed module to fix this issue it's gyroscope noise filter try it if it helps.

Pls suggest any solution for A6020a46 camera..

My camera shows rainbow strips.. what to do pls help..

I have got a temporary solution anyhow...

Solution - First of all i hd turned off my phone and then disconnected the rear Camera module (hardware), after disconnecting it i turned on my phone when the (lenovo) logo came at the same time i reconnected the Camera module (hardware). When my phone turned on rear camera was working fine.

But problem remains the same when i restart my device...:( Pls suggest if anyone hv any idea, instead going to service centre as now my phone is out of warranty...
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] eurodiesel:
WHY did you mess with hardware? Is that worth doing?

Well, try installing Open Camera. Might solve if you are on custom rom

And pls post a screenshot with rainbow strips, cuz i never saw such things.

I've tried for a while but I see no difference. I can't figure out how to set it or if it is enabled even. Tried all I could
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] sameer12dhi:
I also did tried this but nothing happened.

The vr drift (term for the issue) can be caused either due to sensor or app itself.

The reason for such absurd values can be lack of magnetometer as device orientation is determined by combining data of accelerometer , gyroscope and magnetometer for better accuracy and magnetometer is not working in my Device check if it's working in your device.

Try flashing firmware backup if not flash stock ROM vai qfil the issue seems to be in software. If your camera works after you do the above thing then it should work after flashing stock.

Hi, I think I tried almost all MIUI rims for Lenovo Vibe K5/K5 plus.

I have a K5 Plus (a6020a46 2Gb variant) and I'm currently using MiuiPro 9 by yankit. It is very nice and smooth. For me the others have the following bugs :

- I cannot disable SIM cards on some

- I cannot record video on some (the camera app works correctly but no film is present on my gallery or file explorer after)

I advise you to test yourself and make your own idea ;)
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] Akash Raj1:
I tried it. Beside having some tricky ways to install it, it was very buggy to be used as daily driver. WIFI,mobile data, camera weren't working. It also lacks active developer, security patches were very old belonging to Jan17. I again flashed my old ROM just after 1 Hr of installing it. Now I am trying DotOS. looks good enough
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] eurodiesel:
Geez, install aex4.6, its stable enough to be a daily driver. No bugs so far on my k5, everythings working.

You seem to be new here. It was the issue present before in which volte needed to be turned on-off-on whenever mobile data was switched on or off . Its fixed now , after spending many months to fix the issue it turns out it needed only 2 lines in the build.prop to make it work properly.

Hi,

Im facing this issue from quite a few days. The sim card is not getting any signals and it always shows "No Sim Card". I have tried it in both slots and with many sim cards. I have also performed recovery options like wiping the cache and resetting factory settings.

IMEI no. is showing for both the SIM slots and also the network bar on the notification bar appears to be blank for the specific slot in which the sim is inserted. All other things are working fine like WIFI, Bluetooth.

Please help in resolving this issue.:crying::crying::crying:

I want to ask why is that this phone vibe k5 plus have so many developers developing custom roms, kernels, mods.etc compared to other phone of this type on same price range?
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] blantek:
I guess it was very popular in India in it's time. It's not just the price, it's also availability and the fact Lenovo has done nothing to update the phone since it's release.
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] Akash Raj1:
Our phone has Qualcomm processor but most of the other Lenovo phones now comes with MTK processors. Also this phone never received any official OS upgrade which may have pushed developers to create custom ROMS, mods and kernels.
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] eurodiesel:
qualcomm snapdragon = kernel sources = custom roms

mtk or exynos = no sources to build a rom

this applies to any android device. ofc popularity is also a factor
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] Akash Raj1:
I recently read that Samsung released kernel source for S8 and S8+. Do they release kernel source for only top and mid range phones?
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] eurodiesel:
i dont know, maybe. GPL requires to release full sources for every device. what Scamsung does is locking bootloaders as hard as possible to prevent innocent users from replacing Touchwiz... my pardon, its Crapwiz, with smth better. i think i'm lucky to be able to use my phone as i like.

tbh i dont know what keeps OEMs from releasing the sources.

oh, and incase exynos, actually they do have custom roms, sorry for misinformation?
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] sameer12dhi:
Android is open source and is licensed under Apache 2.0 while Android's kernel is based on Linux kernel with some modifications to support arm processors and Linux kernel is licensed under GPL which allows anyone to freely make modifications to it till they provide the source code so every oem is supposed to release source code for their device which some Don't which is a clear violation of GPL law that makes building custom ROMs difficult for developers.

The availability of custom ROMs for a device depends on the

(i) popularity of the device , if it's really popular device then devs will buy it and they will develop ROMs for it

(ii) availability of kernel sources (explained above)

Support for custom ROMs has nothing to do with mtk or sd as 1st gen Android one devices recently got Android oreo while having mtk processors and xiaomi devices has sd processors but sometimes they don't release the kernel sources or It is delayed by months causing the development to suffer.

[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] sameer12dhi:
Lineage os 14.1 is getting updates , Available on shreps website , other than that I don't think so any other nougat Rom is being updated dot os nougat was the last among them to get an update. However even if dev's provide update there won't be any changes other than security patch.

Edit :- AOKP is also getting nightly builds
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] eurodiesel:
thanks for answer mate. actually i meant security patches. also, its not right to discontinue nougat roms in favor of not-so-stable oreo roms imho.
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] sameer12dhi:
Well actually majority of users don't care about security of their device (sad truth) so that's why devs are not updating the nougat roms , I think most of the Rom development teams have stopped merging security patches to their rom as they want to focus on Oreo .
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] eurodiesel:
yes, sad truth. if i wouldn't been caring about security i would stick with stock lollipop with xposed + gravitybox.

on verge of brick

used

device: lenovo A6020a46

recovery: TWRP 3.1.1 sherps

ROM:AospExtended-v5.3-A6020-20180312-0439-OFFICIAL

Gapps:open_gapps-arm64-8.1-aroma-20180311

Root:SuperSU-v2.82-201705271822

other: titanium backup from playstore

what i did:

clean flashed

rooted

restored titanium backup

prepared to move on

now when i went back to TWRP to revert back, on wiping cache/data/system it just rebooted back to system(successful to home), i said fair-point, restored the twrp backup of stock rom, but it got stuck on boot. tried wiping and restoring muliple times to no avail. i can still boot in recovery and bootloader

so i thought this is good time to get help

what i plan to do:

try to ADB sideload via TWRP. Quick Question: do i need to wipe data before doing so? if yes, How?(googling didnt help much) adb wont work until i boot to system which i cant, any suggestions? . also tried directly booting newer version of recovery via

fastboot boot recovery.img

but still cant boot cant wipe partitions or make nadroid restore work

try to push QPST rescue via lenovo moto smart assistant. although have little hope hope for this having said that i have custom recovery installed

try to fastboot flash. NOW this will be my last option so now is the good time to stop me from doing something idiotic or suggesting options

suggestions where i messed up or what to do will be highly appreciated
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] eurodiesel:
i suspect a broken recovey

download lastest twrp and copy to platform tools folder (optional: rename it to recovery.img). get your device into bootloader mode. flash the recovery.

it has worked for aex5.2, bootleggers, RROS6.0 all based on android8.1, also i did boot into TWRP 3.2.1(latest) via

I suspect supersu or rom has messed a really low level code that a recovery doesnt touch in normal flashing process, if that were the case what should be the debugging approach
