SiteScope ... thanks for the reply.

1. When i click on the thumbnail, i get a black box ( i am logged in ). Same results when i use another browser.
Chrome and Firefox
2. Under SETTINGS, I have;;

- WIRELESS & NETWORKS
- PERSONAL
- BASCI SETTINGS
- ACCOUNTS
- SYSTEM MANAGE

I dont seem to have "PREFERENCES"


Note my build number:

VIBEUI_V2.5_1512_5.495.1_ST_K50-T5


Is that the issue? What is your build number ?

3. With this build, I have rooted the phone with KingRoot. I have Google Apps ( Playstore ) but cant seem to locate
the OTA option ?

Just flashed this ROM (http://www.needrom.com/download/lenovo-k3-note-aosp-5-1/).

Caller ID issue not observed.

BT cannot be turned on. Tried via settings and also with ADB. Cannot turn on at all.

Also, if Sim is in slot 2, need to reboot a few times before data connection is working. Settings for SIM card change will pop up. After that, it will auto configure itself.

Ah, so in other words the phone has already been rooted
*
I dont think so. When i got mine , i installed the root checker software and ran it. It said no root until I used kingroot to root it.

It could be that the local dealers, rooted the phone to add their modifications and then unrooted it ?
The sifus here are welcome to comment on this ?

So which rom for me now?.. need BT and also can be root..
tq

Same question here bro ... There are nice instructions in the first page but vague in some area for newbies like us...

What am I looking for ?

- Something stable ( i dont want to flash roms every month or so and restore apps, messages ,etc )
( marked ST ? )
- English dialogue
- All Phone functionality must work - bluetooth / wifi / camera etc must work
- OTA must have
- Gapps must have
- Root too


So if we use a ST type rom, install gapps , remove bloatware, and then unroot it , can we get OTA ?
I prefer OTA instead of flashing entire ROM every time....

Could the sifus here clarify ...

I m using 1524 ST rom which u can find it on 1st page. Everything seem find for me. Rooted.
Battery friendly, camera good, BT good, wifi good etc. Thanks to sitescope for latest stable rom and method to flash it and root it.
Important.....if u rooted your phone, u can't do OTA update. Just keep this in mind for all rooted android phones.
*
Bro, Some questions ...

A. ST would be considered an official rom right ?
Any reason u did not want to try the rom of version:
VIBEUI_V2.8_1526_7.80.1_DEV_K50-T5 ( Developer version ) – Android 5.1 ?
B. Contact no +6 issue still exists ? or solved ?
C. English available ?
D. After unrooting a rooted phone , can we get back the OTA?


Thanx.

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..

Great reply .. .THANX !!!!!!

QUOTE(sitescope @ Jul 2 2015, 04:21 PM)
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.

Bro,  india will be releasing the phone tomorrow via flipkart.
That will have the "true blue" stock international lenovo ROM with OTA

So no more half baked  roms, annoying inconsistencies.... hopefully.

Just wait a 1wk - 2wks and someone will sure post on the web.

Be patient.

lots of info here ... wow ... thanx ...

greetings people. i bought this item at lazada and receive the item on last friday. priced at RM 579 and use the lazada RM 75 coupon code discount GETAPP75 (now the phone price already increase to 600+. the lazada link). quite a bargain i think. mine is white, with yellow-ish coating.

i believe mine was from china, with china charger pin and documentation.

things to highlight:
1. the 'factory' rom i suspect it was modified with numbers of malware, thus need to flash other rom
2. official vibe ui rom is also crap. i use google now launcher, and can't use most of the widget (settings force close error). same also with other launcher.
3. tried limeonchelo novamod, but not quite happy with it. now using aosp
4. 1st sim is 2g/3g/4g capable. 2nd sim only 2g
5. still monitoring on the battery performance

Bro , i agree that the speaker is just too faint ... u have to hold it to your ear to listen to the audio .. tested in a few scenarios also ...
