[K3 Note Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chococheesecake:
Alright guys, I spent a whole night researching and reading all the comments and discussions in a lot of threads related to Lenovo K3 Note and I just registered myself. Now, I want to install a custom rom and I found that the roms build by daniel_hk are the most reliable. But the thing is I'm not sure which one to install. LineageOS or SlimRoms or CarbonROM?

Please let me know which one is the best regarding Battery Back up, Ram and least lag ?

Also please post some significant Screen Shots of each roms Home, Menu, Settings, Notification Bar, etc.

So that I can see which one looks better for my taste.

And lastly please post all the fixes available and the best karnel.

I'm sure everyone in the K3 Note community will be helped through this thread.

Also I'm a total noob in this department so please ignore any of my idiocy as I don't know everything.

Thank you very much.
[K3 Note Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stephendt0:
As far as I'm concerned, there are no stable Android 7.1 ROMs for this device yet. They all suffer from a serious flaw in one way or another - either video recording not working properly, video playback not working properly, poor battery life, misconfigured buttons or just random glitches and bugs that shouldn't happen, even after flashing fixes. I tried both Carbon ROM and LineageOS but I had to return to stock. Then again, the Stock ROM has poor memory management so it lags a lot. It's a shame, I've probably tried around 15 ROMs and the only one that was moderately stable was AOSP Vibe 6.0 which was a remixed china dev ROM but that has problems with internal storage glitches which causes all the userdata to be moved to another folder randomly (don't ask me why this happens, I really don't know but it is frustrating and happened twice, had to move all my files over again).

If you know of a fully stable AOSP ROM, even if it is 6.0, I'd be very keen to try it.
[K3 Note Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chococheesecake:
Thanks for the helpful information, but I know k3 note is yet to receive a fully stable custom rom. Knowing that I still want to install a custom rom by daniel_hk cause firstly the stock rom is very laggy and I cannot work with it and to my knowledge those three roms has received almost all the necessary and essential fixes already. for example the YouTube zoom thingy and the snapchat thingy got fixed I heard and many others. I think I can live with minor bugs like gps navigation not being able to be correct and **** like that. That's why I'm asking which one should I go with between these three.
[K3 Note Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stephendt0:
Fair enough, but the ROMs from daniel_hk, whilst good, are definitely still in beta. YouTube zoom isn't fully fixed even if you flash the patch. If you go from 1080p to 720p, or 720p to 480p, you will get a zoom bug. 1080p videos recorded on the device do not play back in the gallery app or MX player, and the flashlight turns off by itself if you turn the screen off. Otherwise performance is good.

Edit: Carbon ROM is the only one with the latest fixes so I'd go for that.
[K3 Note Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chococheesecake:
So does Carbon Rom gives the best battery back up and uses the least Ram ?
[K3 Note Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stephendt0:
Probably not, but it's still pretty good
[K3 Note Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cpt.mactavish:
use latest AOSP STABLE2 AKA MADos........ this is by far the most stable NG rom

btw,daniel has built latest lineage...with hdr fixed...which makes everything fixed......as daniel fixd the hdr..... now....mugik04 will build Latest RR with fix.......wait for that rom.....
[K3 Note Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stephendt0:
Not at the moment. And there are still issues with video playback, flashlight and camera video focus.
[K3 Note Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrAAnderson:
Lineage OS 14.1 is the one I've been happiest with. There are niggles and glitches, with battery being the biggest. On the whole I accept it's still work in progress. Stick to stock if you need stability.
[K3 Note Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bolumstar:
It depends on what you want, no custom nougat ROM has it all....

Having tested it all, I use Resurrection Remix 5.8.2 with March 5 security update.

Battery life is about 30 - 45 minutes less than Daniel's Rom but the smoothes of the performance is better.

#1 It has super fast charging (2180Mah)

#2 GPS locks in few seconds.

#3 Hotspot works once you on it off it and on it again.

#4 YouTube works perfectly

#5 Video recording does not crash at all, with or without flashlight. Footej camera works perfectly which is a plus for me, whatsapp, Facebook, Instagram, periscope works well with the camera.

#6 it works perfectly with three different custom kernels I've tried on it. (I currently use the latest Daniel_hk kernel with voltage tuning & OC)

It serves me well and since I have 2 spare batteries I don't bother however, tweaking the kernel to powersave gives me more juice.

So, it depends on what is a deal breaker for you.

I've used 2 AOSP Nougat that are very good but since all AOSP Nougat Audio recording level is low, which is a deal breaker for me, I switched to LineageOS before hitting RR Nougat.
[K3 Note Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stephendt0:
FYI Footej Camera only works because it records in 720p by default. 1080p recording is the problem.
[K3 Note Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stephendt0:
By the way - I got fed up with bugs so I created my own debloated VibeUI ROW ROM with a nexus feel - so far it seems to work well and no signs of lag so far. I think the lag isn't caused by the core ROM, but the add-ons that Lenovo insist on adding. If there are no major issues I'll upload it by the end of the week
[K3 Note Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chococheesecake:
So if you needed to compare between LineageOS and RR Nougat, which one would be better in terms of smooth user experience and which one do you think has the lowest issues?

Also I do really need the most battery backup I can get.
[K3 Note Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chococheesecake:
Please do, I'll check it out.
[K3 Note Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bolumstar:
Using premium footej camera on resurrection remix 5.8.2 March 5th security update Rom and it hasn't crashed over two weeks....
[K3 Note Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stephendt0:
It plays back 1080p recorded videos ok?
[K3 Note Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bolumstar:
Yeah, it does, smoothly without any glitch.

---------- Post added at 03:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:06 PM ----------

Both are the same core but RR has a little more customization and faster charging.

LineageOS by Daniel has the best battery backup time in CM based Roms. I've achieved 5hrs SOT with one AOSP nougat. It has low audio recording that's why I didn't continue.

You can achieve faster charging on Daniel's Rom with ultimate or Vince kernel. But it comes with dt2w and takes extra juice from the battery.

You should try flashing different Rom and check it out for yourself
[K3 Note Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raghuM:
Hdr has been fixed but with another hotspot bug replacing it
[K3 Note Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cpt.mactavish:
Did you face hotspot bug in RR 5.8.2?? Mugiks ?? Can you confirm? :/
[K3 Note Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lord AJ:
Use PixelUI Farewell Edition. That is what I ave been using for three days now, and so far... most things look good. Although there is green flicker when playing youtube videos but I am okay with that. The experience is smooth, substratum themes are supported and battery backup is fairly good. The absence of a Nougat kernel with d2w support is an issue though..

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] aLexzkter:
Hi,

I've been experiencing an issue since I've had this phone for a little more than 1 month.

If I'm wearing my wired earphones (don't have Bluetooth ones) and the phone makes use of the network (as when a video or a song starts to load) I can hear a buzzing distortion sound in the background as long as the download is in progress. In fact, I have a network speed meter on the status bar and when I'm not doing anything the phone jumps from OB/s to 1kB/s every once in a while (which is normal) also resulting in an audible hissing sound in the background through the earphones.

What the hell is this? It's pretty annoying especially when a YouTube video begins to play.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] front firing speakers:
Nothing here
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] iNaruX:
Yup, pretty normal when poor isolation of RF is done hardware-wise. There is probably nothing software that can be done about it except for better frequency filtering on hardware/driver side.

You pretty much have to live with it; back when I still had my Axon I barely noticed it and only when I was lying in bed right before sleep.

I doubt [MENTION=7967680]front firing speakers[/MENTION] does not have it on his phone.

You have to be in a very silent environment and set the volume to really really low to be able to notice it.

The Nexus 9 tablet is also very prominent in this regard, or the Nexus 7 2013 speakers (not headphones). A variety of devices have this issue.

What you could do to confirm it is hook up and oscilloscope to your 3.5mm input jack, play a video at exactly ZERO volume and look at the frequency of the signal you got there :)

I will stick this and close the thread in order to keep it clean!

If someone doesn´t understand it - even after reading this all - please start a new thread.

And again some hints:

1. Read ALL threads from the beginning!

2. Don´t ask in RomRelease threads how to "Hard-SPL" or "How to..."

-- Please keep Rom release threads clean for question related to the ROM.

Thanks

[About XDA developers] kuzibri:
Hi All Dear XDA Members,

As most of you will know, I'm XDA addict and active member who started a lot of threads in order to try to keep XDA as organized as possible (see: the Q&A/T thread template: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=46281795&postcount=4, which also contains the links to the Index project and the Ask Away help thread). Yet, I noticed that XDA has become so huge that it's grown out of it's "jacket". It became a forum which looks like a "forest which can not been seen because of all the trees". Newcomers can hardly find their way in this forest, ( They still keep registering to our forum but hardly post anything, let alone that they will start a thread) even more experienced users have difficulties or stop develeloping new ROM's and/or Threads. The layout of XDA is, speaking in modern terms, old fashioned at this very moment and if there will be no facelift within a short while, XDA is IMHO doomed to follow certain social media, who are loosing a lot of followers at this very moment. If you are familiar with social media, you know exactly which media I'm referring too. So, that's the reason I started this thread: How can we resuscitate XDA, cause that's what's needed, to be and stay future proof? IMHO, XDA is one of the, if not the, most important Smartphone forum and it should stay that forever, but changes are needed to achieve this. One of the changes could be a chat function, but most of all there needs to become a new a structure of how XDA is build up untill now. I'm convinced that the XDA staff is aware of this and working very hard to keep XDA future-proof. As it is now, it will be very hard to compete with the modern social media applications. I'm a diehard fan of XDA and that's why I started this thread. Making XDA future proof will be a hell of a job and therefore the staff of XDA can use IMO input from members, like you and me. Just plain and simple: I ask you all to come with information, suggestions and ideas how to make XDA future proof. Help the staff of XDA in this huge project of keeping it alive , kicking and well. Vbulletin is not the most ideal platform anymore, we need something else (see Reddit, etc).

kindest reards, kuzibri

BTW1: I do not suggest that XDA should use the Reddit platform or something the like

BTW2: A more social media approach would and could benefit XDA in the near future.

BTW3: I'm a great fan of the XDA Labs app for Android. Maybe an idea as a starting point?
[About XDA developers] MishaalRahman:
Can you give some ideas on what can be done in terms of the layout?
[About XDA developers] the_scotsman:
This forum has grown MASSIVELY since it was first started back in 2002. I think we now have over 6.6 million members. The vbulletin forum platform was never really intended to handle such a large amount of content or userbase.

We've been on the vbulletin forum platform for a long time now. We've made a large amount of custom modifications, plugins, and tweaks, in order to add a lot of what you see in the forums today. A lot of it is the things you don't see behind the scenes. The massive amounts of custom coding that has been done, that cannot be easily transferred to other systems.

Of course we are aware that the forums are at breaking point in terms of capacity of both content and users. And of course other platform configurations are becoming more popular, with sites such as Reddit. But making a switch to another platform would be a massive massive undertaking. It's not like we can just copy and paste the database.

We are aware that this type of platform is aging, and needs to be kept a little more up to date. And I know the owners are well aware of all of this. It's not that they don't care. They do, more than anything. XDA is their baby, they are heavily invested in it, and they want it to keep growing and to remain the world's premier Smartphone development forums.

I don't know much personally, but I do know there are long term plans to look at updating or switching platforms, to better accommodate the sheer amount of users, and the large amount of valuable content. it will come, but due to the sheer scale of the task, it's going to be a very long term project for the owners I'd say.
[About XDA developers] kuzibri:
I have some ideas which are not ready yet to be posted/published, that's why I started this thread, hoping to get some usefull information and ideas.

[About XDA developers] Webern:
Search could be better. It's hard to find stuff. The way forums are arranged is a mess too; one for questions, and one with a sticky marked "no questions" right above all the questions! Note: nobody reads stickies, and policing of questions is poor so they stick around long enough to make it look like perhaps questions are welcome after all! On a thread the navigation choices are bizarre to say the least: a button for page 1,2,3,11,> (whatever that is) and last. Well...it's going to be last every time, isn't it? So you can get to the latest posts on a thread you're interested in. Really, this is a pre-Stack Exchange site; possibly learn from them in terms of allowing users to vote threads/comments up/down to give moderators less work (ie they can just skim the worst offenders).

(Apologies if you were just talking about tweaking a css file to change hover colours or something)
[About XDA developers] Darth:
We welcome reports about anything violating rules, but also threads out of place. You don't even need to report every question in a general thread, if there's a lot, you can report one and make a note in the report that the whole subsection needs some cleaning. Or, report them all, up to you. :good:

We really rely on members to point stuff out to us, cause we do have a limited sized volunteer mod staff, so we can't see everything out there. :)

[About XDA developers] kuzibri:
Hi my dear friend,

You're absolutely right. There is a lot of mess going around on XDA and I can understand that you cannot see everything due to limited mod staff. A suggestion might be to make the process to become a Mod easier than it is now. Active and good RC's can become a Mod, IMHO, without the process they have to go through now, which in a lot of cases leads to RC's not appointing for the Mod's status. Instead of going to the Mod's process, I would suggest that you give and explain to RC's what they have to do what a Mod needs to do to become a Mod, just my 2 cents. Of course there is a limitation in this suggestion: the minimum time for an RC to become a Mod more or less automatically should be, IMO, at least two years in which he/she proved his/hers additional value to XDA judged by the Mod's staff. In this way, you will get far more Mod's and XDA will be cleaner than ever.

kindest regards, kuzibri

BTW, It's obvious IMO that the Mod's staff decides which RC is fit to become a Mod without going to the whole process or not, let that be clear.

BTW2, I'm personally do not have the intention to become a Mod in this way (unless your Mod's staff decides so), but I have two suggestions/recommandation regarding two persons of whom I think they are very capable of doing this: [MENTION=3629322]Robbie P[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4267571]sd_shadow[/MENTION]. They are both very critical and XDA adepts.

[About XDA developers] kuzibri:
Hi my dearest friend,

I realy think that you are perfectly fit to be a moderator, but it's of course up to you. I just suggested a new way of appointing Mod's and recommended you and Robbie'for the job. I really think that good and active RC's can become a Mod without going to the whole XDA process that's needed to become one. They are very short of Mod's, so make the process easier for active RC's.

BTW, I have all the time in the world since I retired a few months ago!!

kindest regards, kuzibri
[About XDA developers] Robbie P:
Hi kuzibri, great to see you are still around:). Are you suggesting that certain RCs should be given minor moderating powers?

With respect to me, I have not been very active at all lately on XDA, been sort of expecting a PM from JJD every time I log on;):D
[About XDA developers] Darth:
Hi!

I'll respond to a couple things you've mentioned. :)

- There's no such thing as a fast track to becoming a mod. There's multiple rounds of questionnaires for a very good reason. We need to get a feel for a person's instincts based on how they answer. And it doesn't matter a person's title on xda, or history here, everyone goes through the same process. Of course history matters with the decision though, we obviously only look at upstanding members who are a definite asset to the site.

- No one becomes a Moderator based on length on Xda alone, there's many factors looked at. And not everyone will become a mod, based on many possible factors too.

- If there are messes out there, hopefully they get reported, because that's the best way to get it addressed. It's a massive site, and yes we do patrol and try to keep things tidy, but we don't see all. We really rely on members reporting issues.

- And the gentlemen you mention need to apply like everyone else. Cause again, no, we don't just appoint anyone. All members interested need to apply and go through the same process.

We encourage anyone interested to apply of course. And best of luck to anyone who does. :highfive:

Hope that helps clear some things up. :good:

Cheers,

Darth
[About XDA developers] kuzibri:
Hi,

thanks for the lenghty explanation, all clear. Was just a suggestion to solve the shortage of Mod's in an easy and fast way.

kindest regards, kuzibri
[About XDA developers] kuzibri:
Yes my very dear friend, I'm still around. Due to the shortage of Mod's [MENTION=4036181]Darth[/MENTION] mentioned, I proposed to make the most active and valuable RC's a Mod without going to the entire XDA process that's needed for that. But as you can read by the answer of [MENTION=4036181]Darth[/MENTION] this is no possibility at all. IMHO, they missed the "train" in that by staying to their rules (which of course I can understand fully), cause, also IMHO, very good RC's (they are not appointed as Recognized Contributors for nothing and this title is closely related to and in line with the work of Mod's, e.g. helping people to find the right way or reacting on wrong posts by reporting them, only Mod's have much more power) are also capable of becoming good Mod's with a newly developed guidance/manual from the Mod's committee what are the demands for an RC to become a Mod in this new way. Maybe this idea is too revolutenary at this very moment, but the saying is: "when you do not shoot, you can also not miss". Of course, when this suggestion would be accepted, the Mod's committee should keep a close eye on these RC's and look if they are fit to be a Mod or not, if not, they will be an RC again. Seems logical to me,

kindest regards, kuzibri
[About XDA developers] kuzibri:
Suggestions

Hi all,

any other suggestions to make XDA future proof?? Cause at this very moment XDA is, certainly for new members, a labyrinth. In general, even despite the introduction of XDA Assist, they cannot find their way to what they are looking for, so XDA needs to become more accessible and easier to navigate. In fact the entire site should be redesigned, but due to the massiveness of this site, this is an unrealistic task, unfortunately.

kindest regards, kuzibri
[About XDA developers] zelendel:
I personally think making more social is a mistake. Well at least on the devs side. Most don't like dealing with users to begin with and already block pms and mentions. So adding a chat function I see is just wasting resources. I recall the last time it was brought up with a resounding no.

As for staying sutures proof that will be hard. With the push for tighter security on our devices it is only a matter of time before the majority of devices can't be unlocked and leaves users only looking for apps.
[About XDA developers] kuzibri:
Hi,

many thanks for your valuable feedback. With this thread I tried to stir up some things to see whatever is possible. What do you mean with "Dev's do not like dealing with users", cause that's what XDA stands for? This amazes me a bit. Regarding the future proof remark, you may be right in the near future.
