Do we need to do factory reset, wipe dalvik cache and cache partition for this 1524 if done via CWM?

-

Edit: all's good, everyone recommends clearing all the above before flashing.

Nola bro, you've been of great help to the thread. However I wasn't able to mount TWRP, so I went with CWM.

I got 1524 installed, then realized that CWM was gone when I tried to go into recovery. Then I tried to re-mount CWM via the guide here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3TQH-zHvwo - couldn't work. Then I used the flashtool baru can mount it.

Weird.

Actually right on the contrary I did 'reboot system' and then only it went away. But when I re-installed the 2nd time and then do 'reboot recovery' it reappeared on the next full system bootup.

Anyways it's damn bloody hard to take out the battery for this phone.. it's the major turn off for the phone really.

I have a white back. Anyhow it's going with a black Nikklin case (I thought it would be a soft silicone case but it's hard..) and it will be always with the case so I feel that the cover color isn't any important

Yellow looks good though - comes from the iconic K3 Lemon look

Just follow the steps, Sitescope has already spoonfed all of us here haha (thanks!)

Anyways if bump into problems can always refer online or to this forum. Always got people here to help

I heard somewhere AliExpress quite notorious wor, a lot of scams going on.. is this true?

I think I will look for a yellow cover when I'm in China, should be very cheap.. every time I look at it it just catches my eye

Some additional info for spyware/malware/bloatware (how to/what to remove):

**do this at your own risk, use your judgement as to what's a system essential software and what is not. if you are not sure it's always better to use a service disabler app rather than removing it entirely.

Others, if you have any info on bloat/spywares do contribute as well

Try Root App Delete? Or DisableService

peet, maybe you can wait for Meizu M2 Note

http://www.ibtimes.co.in/lenovo-k3-note-vs...ow-price-637895

Or maybe you can get straight from official Lenovo, then tell us if it comes with bloatware out of the box or not cause I'm really interested in finding out

Wow.. that's even cheaper than the price I got it at (RM521). Was that voucher only useable at certain time periods?

Bro, you didn't buy? If so, wait for Meizu M2 Note lor

Boss, update liao boss

Any better comments than this? Hehe, lai lai share share

Hmm.. I just realized that K3N doesn't have wifi direct and dual band support..

Thanks, I'll try looking at 3rd party wifi direct apps.

Anyways anyone has any problems with Ultimate Power Saver mode? When I press on calls/contacts/sms and then back the whole thing seems to freeze on its own. Have to reboot baru okay.

1524 ST lor

Take note that the price from Lenovo China is original set in China. L3N ori in Malaysia is not out yet and don't know when will it be out, so it's not surprising to see fluctuations in AP sets pricing. My advise is: if you see it at a price you think it's good, just go ahead and get it (I waited 3 months before getting this phone)

Anyways I had sorta asked a question before.. on whether ori China set acquired directly from Lenovo itself would contain bloat/spy/malwares.

Not sure if anyone has read this post on LYN : http://www.lowyat.net/2015/07/china-sues-s...tware-concerns/

While we don't know if they (ori sets direct from manufacturer) contain mal/spywares or them embeded as a part of bloatwares, we can be damn sure that they do have tons of bloatwares.

Bro, where did you get that Singaporean quote? Can give source? Also, shipping included?

Also, I don't think one should wait more than 3 months after its release to get the phone. There's no point anyway as more powerful phones are coming out with the same/cheaper price. I have done extensive research and this phone from March - June was the best phone I could find among all the others at its price range & specs, not to mention it's a brand that people recognize (not some unknown Chinese/HK start up). Recently, I believe, the Meizu M2 Note has taken over with only slightly better specs at a slightly more cheaper price.

You want to wait till RM400 then this phone would be overshadowed by then already..

Bro, bought from China how you know Lenovo battery is original?

Anyways can you tell us the pricing of the items you bought in RM?

Guys, what colors have you seen flashing for the LED notification? So far I've only seen red and green, have not seen any other colors..
