[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] eurodiesel:
well, if we are talking about the software side, then yes it does as any android which is API21+ and passed certification supports it. but on the hardware side, which is the first thing that comes to mind when talking about camera2, the manual control or raw capture wont work as it needs a more recent SoC.

bootloop after instaling probably incompatible kernel

i just installed AOSPExtended (android 8) upgrading from lineage os (android 7) once i installed everything worked great.

tried to install magisk but couldn't wipe dalvik (apparently because of partition format issues) it just made it crash. a bit later i realized it used a lot of battery , so i did the same that with lineage and downloaded the vegito kernel app from the play store and hit install. at this point it started to boot loop, i coulnd't even get into recovery (except from fastboot). once i was able to boot twrp, tried installing a lot of things (like other kernels, dirty flash and clean flash aopse and lineage, restore a backup i did before upgrading) but nothing, and wasn't able to wipe the system partition either . for all of this it either crashed while doing it, or wouldn't work at all. I don't know what else to do. does anyone have an idea?

Why notification panel is lagging on oreo ROMs for vibe k5 and also I need a drive link for official lineageos as the device is removed from official site please help me
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] adinechin:
If you want something stable, I would rather point to you these one :

- if you want to keep the ability to disable a SIM card, Lollipop builds are fine (I can suggest MIUI, the one I've ported ;)

- if you don't mind keeping both SIM active, I would advise Nougat ROMs (DotOS is nice, AEX too, and Lineage is not official but the only Nougat ROM maintained with security patches and sometimes fixes)

- I would avoid Oreo builds : you still might have some bugs and some battery shortage I think

I have rr 5.8.4 installed in my Lenovo vibe K5 plus. It has 2 minor problems like fluctuation of Jio 4g tower signal but that doesn't harm connectivity, camera sometimes captures black images at night even when the flash is on but using Google camera or camera fv5 this problems can be solved. I'm very happy with the ROM.

One XDA dev suggested me to flash rr 5.8.5 as it lets us root without pc and it has parallel space like feature. should I flash it or not? Will it be as stable as 5.8.4?

emmc erased bricked lenovo vibe k5 plus

i have a lenovo vibe k5 plus smartphone, which i erased accidentally, complete emmc erased. Now my phone won't start. It is neither booted into fastboot nor adb, not even recovery. When i plug it into my PC, red LED is on and it is automatically detected as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008. I have tried qfil, Tool studio, QDloader, and even Miflash,but nothing worked. Qfil says: QSahara error, Tool studio: MPRG.mbn download failed QDLoader: send result Miflash: Reached end packet, can not receive hello packet. if anyone can help me please tell me a proper way to recover/unbrick my phone Thanks in advance.

is there any hope? please reply..
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] Thespartann:
How the actual macaronni you erased the entire EMMC memory?

Also to fix this you probably have to take out the EMMC from your smartphone and "flash" the things that another EMMC from the same model of K5 had in it. Or I guess testpoint.
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] eurodiesel:
Try flashing with this: [url]https://mega.nz/#!rEpjgIYD!M4LZoI7EeHeqHAC9BVYyKk43-Z7HT5ow4uVAcahhoFs

depending how exactly did you wipe youre emmc... BTW how the F did you erase the emmc?

I believe there are no test points in the mobo, but I know someone who hardbricked his k5 and the service couldn't reflash it so they sent him a refund.

on the other side, did you install drivers correctly? did you boot windows into Test Mode? hint: run as admin: "bcdedit /set testsigning on" without quotes.

edit: try using Lenovo Moto Smart Assistant.

A noob here

I want to install a custom rom but don't know which one. Main reason for installing custom rom is that you can't play(fps is low and it lags) HEVC2 720p/HEVC 12bit 720p/ HEVC 10bit 1080p videos on the stock rom. Can anyone please test if these videos play smoothly on any custom roms?? More specifically please test it on RR oreo(as it seems to have less bugs than others)

Your help is greatly appreciated!!
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] eurodiesel:
Bugs are similar across most oreo roms, and I'd say all of them will behave the same. I will try to test but if you share the example video (via google drive or smth) over here or if you PM the link to me it'll be cool. Bye.:good:

Recently I came across this XDA article about increasing headphone volume in oneplus 6 by editing some mixer path lines.

https://www.xda-developers.com/increase-oneplus-6-headphone-jack-volume/

So can anyone help me to do the same in our device?
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] ridersam:
I've tried but it didn't work like it does in op6 but you must be knowing dolby atmos can do the same job.
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] Akash Raj1:
Even with Dolby Atmos, I feel like having very low volume especially when travelling (ambient noise is high). Anyway thanks for replying.

Edit: I found a file named mixer_paths_qrd_skuh.xml under vendor > ETC. There was some lines like RX1, RX2, RX3 Digital volume, all set to default value of 84 and I edited them to be 89. After a reboot, I notice slightly increased volume. So can somebody tell me whether I was correct or I am just under the placebo effect?

I flash new custom ROMs every now and then. But problem arises when I install needed apps from play store or Sd card because it takes much time to install and the process is tiresome. In twrp there is a backup option. Can I backup those apps and restore with without much effort after flashing a new Rom? Or there is another simpler way to get rid off the trouble of installing those much needed apps?
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] eurodiesel:
Titanium backup or Helium.
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] hsj51:
I personally found these roms useful:

Lineage OS

AOSP

Pixel experience

(Fixes for known issues in all roms )

For good battery life use : PBH

For good sound quality use :

Dolby Atmos or viper 4 android

(Search Google for links and installation process)
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] Akash Raj1:
I have a very noobish and unrelated question to our device. Sometimes due to manual error, I have encountered some bootloops or screen struck at lenovo logo. Since our device has removable battery, I just remove & place the battery again and press volume power button combinations to access recovery mode. But nowadays most devices come with sealed batteries, so what should one do in case there is any bootloop or screen struck issues after flashing?
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] adinechin:
The best way is to use the following combinations :

- press power and Vol+ and Vol - during more than 10 seconds. You should have first a black glowing screen, do it again and you'll reboot to recovery

- press power and Vol- during more than 10 seconds you should reboot to fastboot
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] eurodiesel:
No no, he didn't ask how to get into recovery, but thanks anyway.

---------- Post added at 04:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:11 PM ----------

The devices which come with a sealed battery *should* reset themselves by long pressing power button because this is a feature of an ACPI system. To this date I've never encountered devices with sealed batteries that won't reboot bu long pressing the power button.

The K5 doesn't reboot itself this way, probably bcoz of implementation.

Tl: Dr - device not waking up/showing notifications when is supposed to be

Hello guys, hopefully someone could give me some insight about it, I've just got this phone seconded handed from my brother, I've not installed TWRP or any rom yet. Just update to the latest stock firmware 6.0.1.

And the only issue that I have is that the device seems to be in deep sleep and will not wake up when is supposed to, for instance when the time in the morning come the alarm clock will not trigger or when some app receive a notification it will not actually make any sound, only when I wake it up by turning the screen on that it will show the delayed notification, is this a common issue and does someone knows how to fix/improve this?
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] ridersam:
in that case holding the power button for few seconds does the work.
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] ridersam:
no it doesn't seem like a common issue, may be kinda new firmware bug. I'd suggest you to flash a good custom rom along with a custom kernel if you're not good with the stock one.

prolly, custom roms are way better than vibe ui any day.

Instead of pointing particular rom, I'll explain how to properly test roms.

1) download most recent oreo roms you'd like to test

2) backup /data, /boot and /system from twrp.

3) do a factory reset (again in twrp)

4) flash roms one by one, make factory reset inbetween

Temporarily the problem was solved but after installing a custom room when I again entered twrp it shows the same problem of 0mb internal storage. Only after flashing twrp again, I can flash anything. But os is running properly.
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Questions & Answers] eurodiesel:
Well, i think that's a low level problem, but I'm unsure. If you're comfortable trying, backup everything, flash stock rom with qfil and flash twrp + roms again. Kinda starting from beginning. Guide can be found in Guides forum.

I think that'll solve the problem and flashing stock will take less time than searching for the problem.
