Can clarify, what do DEV and ST mean?

Also, any way to install GApps with official ROM while retaining OTA function?

DEV = developer rom (received rom updates every week or every fortnightly)
ST - stable rom (received updates may every 2 months)
Official rom you have to install the Gapps one by one via PlayStore

So, which is one to get? DEV or ST?

When you say to install GApps one by one, you mean after OTA playstore will be wiped and have to reinstall again?

Ok, to refine my question further.. is there a way to get Official ROM while retaining OTA function and at the same time allowing me to install GApps?

All official roms(for Android) comes with Gapps pre-install & OTA - no worries.

That is if I don't do it through root and CWM right? I just read a little on sitescope's guide.. excuse the barrage questions, have only rooted my phone once and a YouTube video served as my guide

Okay, purchased mine already at RM521

where? lazada?

No... that I know of...
To install GAPPS, u need to flash TWRP. Once u installed TWRP, u can dload OTA updates but u'll never able to install it due to OTA updates need to be installed via stock recovery...

Every time there's an OTA updates, it'll retain ur apk & data but I dunno why it remove GAPSS...
Maybe it's Lenovo China policy...

When MSia set will arrive, I believe it'll use INTL rom. However, INTL rom is always late in providing updates compare to VIBE_UI...
So if u want latest updates go for AP set, if u dun care about updates, go for MSia set...

I think Huawei also like that...
We can see that they normally roll-out major updates for China set before move it to INTL set (after 6-9mths, perhaps?)...

U also can see what happened to P70A... Due to P70A isn't for China market, their updates are very slow...

What's the shop name in LAZADA ?

IDSmartphone, I think that's where you also bought it from

I don't understand your 2nd line.. I thought you said to get Gapps need to flash, and once flash can't get OTA?

He mean Gapp will gone after each Rom flashed. So need to reflash gapps everytime you flash a new rom being Dev or Official.
Do take note some rom do have Gapp build it.

Stable 1524 rom doesnt come with gapps. Just updated my K3 Note to 1524 and successful installed gapps. Is rooting time....... . Thanks to sitescope for the steps and download links

Demmm rm100 cheaper...

Now u're not able to OTA until I found stock recovery for u to flash if wanna resume OTA...
For now, the only way for u to get latest updates is to dload full vibe_ui rom (around 8++mb) & flash via twrp...

Advantage for OTA is the updates are small in term of file size.
To upgrade from 1522 to 1524 might need only 50mb only compare to dload a whole 1524 rom which is around 8++mb.

Thannks for info. Normaly i prefer update via downloaded rom.
I upgraded my K3 Note note from 1512 straight to 1524 and tested stable. Much much better than older rom. Add new features and the most important is it can transfer apps to SDCard without using 3rd party apps cause 16GB (9GB usable) is not enough for games and apps.
