Demmm rm100 cheaper...
Fuuuu.. Lazada offering Maybank cardmembers additional 10+10% off for storewide purchases.. apparently this only happens somewhere in between 7-8pm (got a notification on my phone) or so.. I found it odd cause when I went to Lazada at 9pm it wasn't there anymore.

Same exact thing happened 2 days ago as well... There goes another additional 10% savings which could have been used for nice metal casing

I already planned to buy a 64GB microSD for this phone. The 32GB microSD is my spare card.

Same card type for both?

Nope, 32GB is Sandisk Ultra SDHC and 64GB is Toshiba SDXC.

Maybe that's why you solved the maps issue..

Aluminium bumper cover:

*drawback to this fullbody cover is that it conceals yellow color of the K3 Note which stands out apart from other phone.


Tempered glass:

RM579 sold by IDSmartphone at discounted price, one of the first distributors to bring in the phone originally priced at ~RM625. The other distributors have simply jacked up the price sky high. Just do a conversion from USD to RM also won't go so high - can check out other overseas online distributors' pricing (eg. gearbest.com, to2c.com etc.)

At the present IDSmartphone selling it at the cheapest price point. I have not dealt with them before in the past but a simple search on Google/Facebook/Lelong and you can judge if they are trustworthy/legit business or not.

If you buy from Lazada you can use 10% voucher.

And to answer your question on language, yes they do support Vietnames language - http://www.gearbest.com/cell-phones/pp_180346.html

This is weird.. I powered up my phone for the first time and it went straight to 'home' screen without going through the usual 'choose your language next, next next' settings.

After using it for some time, I shut down the phone, plugged in my charger (I wasn't up to anything, the sequence just happened), then rebooted it again. Once rebooted, it brings me to the 'next, next, next' settings screen. At the T&C page, I wasn't able to go next after checking the 'i agree' box and tapping 'next' doesn't do anything.

Any ideas what happened? Have not flashed or anything. There's no sim card inserted at the moment, other phone's still active.

Guys,
Android 5.1 or VibeUI 2.8 on 1526 Dev ROM
Download link: http://phonedl.ota.lenovomm.com/dls/v6/VIB...K50-T5_WC06.zip

Download link 2: http://pan.baidu.com/s/1GxtMm

Edit1: Seem like the link is broken
Edit2: added another link!
Edit3: Both links are up. First link very fast for me

Summoning mikelanding!

Bro, can you comment on the 1526 Dev ROM, any drawbacks seen as such in 1524 eg. whatsapp no LED notification? This is official ROM right? Cause I noticed sitescope only included 1524 as latest..

A. Yes... coz DEV is for testing & ST is for stable version...
I dun wan to test coz dun have an extra hp for testing... So I prefer stable version...
B. No idea coz yet to try
C. Yes
D. No coz ur recovery still custom.

I think people are confusing on OTA / ROOT / GAPPS

For stock rom (DEV & ST)
- if u want OTA, u will not be able to install GAPPS & ROOT.
Why ? Bcoz stock ROM doesn't coming with GAPPS & ROOT. So to have it, u need to install via recovery.
But ? U're unable to install GAPSS & ROOT via stock recovery coz stock recovery didn't recognize the zip format
So ? To solve this, u need to flash custom recovery (cwm/twrp) via flashtool
Then ? Once cwm/twrp installed, then u can install GAPPS & ROOTS
OTA ? OTA can be dloaded into the hp but when u wanna install, it'll detect that u don't have stock recovery. Hence, failed to install.
Solution ? If u wanna latest ST rom, u need to dload the whole rom (8++mb) and flash via cwm/twrp. Then flash GAPPS & ROOT again. Once ur hp booted, u need to restore all ur app via Titanium Backup.

Thanks sitescope for the clarification. Understanded liao

BTW, can we install GAPPS and ROM even without the use of the SDCard as mentioned in your guide?

Hey guys need some help..

Apparently I can't get TWRP into the phone.

12. Select "MT6752_Android_scatter" in "K3NOTE-TWRP-2.8.6.0-ENG" folder
13. Press "Ctrl + D"
14. Off HP until vibrate.
15. Wait around 10 secs
16. Connect hp (with battery attached) to usb PC via usb
17. Wait until completed --> nothing happens here..



I have already reinstalled LenovoUSBDriver but it still doesn't work.. nothing gets triggered.

Any ideas?

Try this :-
1.Install Mobile Uncle tool
2.Extract the TWRP folder and get the TWRP.img
3.Place the TWRP.img in your internal memory.
4.Go to Mobile uncle tool - back up your EFS to internal & external memory FIRST.
5.Choose Update the recovery file - youtube

I followed this guide, using CWM instead
