Hi
Sorry to post in here but im so new i cant use development forum yet.
I have noticed when charging my GT with this rom my battery status is not showing in the middle of the screen when the GT is powered off.
Anyone else seen this ??
also what are your setcpu settings on this rom (mine are 216 - 1400 interactive)
Cheers

Mine works perfectly fine. Your setcpu settings should not matter in relation to your issue I don't think.
Im guessing will need to reflash the rom then to see if i get the battery icon when charging (gt powered off)
mine will display if for a bit, but shut off after a little while. It charges fine. This rom is awesome!
Hi
Ok, do you know the order for a clean install or a Rom that deletes all user folders and files as i seem to keep all my files when i do a wipe and reset ?
And list of things to do would be great
Paul
in Cwm, do:
- backup
- wipe data/factory reset (will wipe cache too)
- wipe dalvik cache
- flash new rom zip
- flash alternative kernel (if applicable)
- flash alternative themes, modded apps, etc (if applicable)
- reboot, set the tab down and go do something for 5 -10 min for it to do its first boot (mine is usually 7 min)

in order to start completely fresh is easy. you can be on any rom and to this. no need to go back to stock. just flash stock retail recovery here... (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22014441/stockretail.tar.md5) with Odin (put it in the PDA slot). Then go into recovery (it will be the old blue one now) and wipe data/factory reset. Clockworkmod Recovery wont delete everything like stock retail will. Then you can flash back to Clockworkmod Recovery and reflash the rom you want.

this method won't do what he is asking bro. cwm doesn't delete everything as he is suggesting he wants to do. stock retail recovery is needed in order to start fresh.
In other news.....This actually the correct forum to post this in.
The development section is strictly for releases.
To stay on topic, the battery symbol does show up when charging while off on my tab and my setcpu settings are 216-1000MHz ondemand. The tab is BLAZINGLY fast now and there's a noticeable difference between V5 and V4.
Off topic, I just wanted to say that I've never posted or replied to anything here before. I've been a quiet studious learner of alot of stuff on here and started playing around with my OG Droid, then Droid X2, and HTC Thunderbolt, and now my Galaxy Tab 10.1. I've never posted or replied to anything because I've never been blown away by any developer's work (no insult, just nothing that REALLY made me go, “Thank God for this developer and their ROM.”
But when I installed In Paris V5…I literally thanked God for Task and Phantom. Task’s ROMs have been my faves and have definitely made my GTab experience move from fair (stock from store) to OK (Task’s last solo ROM) to GOOD (In Paris V4). But In Paris V5 has just made my GTab experience EXCELLENT. It’s ridiculously fast with no over-clocking needed! And not to steal from Apple (we all know I might get sued) but the thing just works now! If I weren’t so broke, I’d flood Task and Phantom with donations.
But sincerely…thank you Task and Phantom for producing, hands down, THE BEST ROM for the Galaxy Tab 10.1. You guys are phenomenal and if Google, or Samsung, were smart…you’d be on their payrolls. Please keep up the excellent work…I’m excited to see just what more you can do.
Sorry for this dumb question, but how to begin all of this, looks like the instruction is install CWM using Odin, any noob instruction for that?
I had rooted my Galaxy Tab 7 before using Odin, but I didn't went thru CWM. Any help on this appreciated. I prefer to use this Paris5 ROM. Thanks.

Hey thunderbolt community!
Just got myself a thunderbolt and rooted it (s-off, busy box, super user). I flashed syenergy rom and after reboot it was terribly slow. Now I might of messed up so here I the process I took.
- Rooted (as stated above)
- Downloaded ROM
- Downloaded Kernel
- Booted into clockwork
- Wiped cache
- Wiped dalvik
- Flashed ROM
- Flashed Kernel
- Rebooted
Rom booted but was so slow and not usable. Was I supposed to do a full wipe because it was still stock rom? I am coming from a rooted CM7 incredible so I am quite experienced. Please help!
First off this is the wrong section
Second yea u need to always wipe everything when switching to a new ROM. I use Synergy and the first boot will always be laggy. Synergy let's your Google account download all the apps that u previously had which really slows the phone down. What I'd do is wipe EVERYTHING. Then flash the ROM again. During setup, only setup your Google account and leave for Facebook or whatever other accounts u set up for later as it may speed up things for the first boot. And then I'd just put the phone down n let it do what it needs to do. Synergy is a fast and smooth ROM. The first boot is always laggy on any ROM that allows Google to auto download previous apps. Hope this helps

Follow these procedures:
- Normally you'd perform a nandroid first after flashing into clockwork recovery, but I don't know that you'd want to do that since the ROM is running poorly; your call (I would anyway)
- Wipe Data I always do this, no matter what. That might sound extreme, but I've never had one issue with any of the three android phones I've owned.
- Wipe Cache
- Wipe Dalvik
- Flash Rom
- Flash Radio (if necessary)
- Reboot
Play with the ROM for a while before you flash a different kernel. You might find one of two things: 1) The kernel that came with the ROM is plenty fast and does everything you need, which leads to 2) The kernel you flashed originally could be the cause of the slowness.
Ir's possible the ROM is the issue, so following the above procedure will rule everything else out. Let us know how it goes.
Hi,
I tried 10-15 diffrent custom roms and maybe 5 kernels. On everyone, except Sensation, SGS2 reboots very often. Sometimes is 2 times in hour, on CheckROM reboots after 1-2min after SGS2 is on. I tried diffrent base and still the same issue. For now I back to stock KI4 and for three days it hasn't restart even once. Anyone got idea how to fix it? SGS2 is brand new, I can send it for warranty repair, but what I tell him? It restarts if I install custom rom? I don't think so
Of course I did full wipes before install new one, install two-three times same rom and even don't install any apps. Still rebooting, except stock and sensation I don't use external SD card.
So I must stick with stock rom or sensation? No way, I love to flash new roms
Cheers
You're missing some key info like did you try to wipe the phone/data/cache did you undervolt/underclock... and the list goes on.
Ok, here is the list what have I done, from the begining:
- stock rom was KE7, I instal proper CFroot on it
- next I install Sensation via CWM
It was good, but little slow, quite laggy, slower then my SGS (i9000)
- install CheckROM v4 via CWM
Great speed, but reboots
- install speedmod from kitchen, nothing improves, keeps rebooting
- from now I can't remember, I check various roms and kernels, nothing improves
- back to sensation, great speed (same version than on the begining, but a lot faster), no reboots
- install stock KI3, change PC to XEO, upgrade via KIES to KI4 and everything is ok
- I don't change clock speed or anything else, just change roms and kernels
Please state more of your phone info... current android version etc... country of origin that kind of normal stuff - about phone etc
Edit - before you do the below - make sure you have the right version phone etc...
Maybe post up your phone details to be sure...
As a test please dl the rom in my sig - top one - illusion
Check md5 sum as always you should
Reboot to CWM
Wipe data
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvik
Install zip from memory
Reboot
- set up the basics but not wifi etc ( I say this so that apps don't auto download which slows phone down loads at first ) ... leave 10 - 15 mins just sat on the side not touching a thing...
Reboot again and finish setting up your phone... Tell me if you have lag etc...
If you do then start completely from scratch - flash your original firmware ... return completely stock - and start fresh
SGS2 was brand new, bought about 10 days ago in polish GSM operator PlusGSM. Stock rom was 2.3.4 (?) XXKE7 branded by Plus. Now it is 2.3.5 XXKI4, without root and CWM, just clean stock XXKI4.
I'll try with Illusion and give you a feedback how it goes.

Why???? Sounds like backup coprruption to me - all was fine until then
I tried CheckROM v6 at day when it was released and I get reboots. So far I'm happy with Illusion, so I stick with it for few days and see how it works.
Maybe something went wrong when I install CFroot first time, and after flashing stock again it back to normal. I hope so...
@BigMrB, it wasn't backup, only fresh install from market, but using appbrain fast install. Maybe too many downloads in background casue freeze.

I've never had a single reboot / fc for 2 months using illusion
I edited previos post, maybe too many download in background cause freeze. And after that, everything runs smooth without any problems

Just a quick note. You didn't state if you wiped the phone before flashing a new rom. Do that and then see if there are any problems. Most rom problems IMHO are usually a result of flashing a new rom and not wiping first.

Yes, I do wipes (data, cache, dalvik) before every flash, sometimes I tried even after, or after first boot, no luck. I've got some experience after few years with flashable devices and year and a half with I9000 Problems comes with I9100...
Ok, after one day with Illusion XT:
- normal use (using for 2-5min continuously, make call, send text, fast check www or email) - everything is ok
- extended use (using for 15-30min continuously, browsing web, tapatalk, wrote emails etc) - one freeze
- heavy use (using 30min and more continuously, web, some YT movies, playing Dead Zone) - freezes, restarts, freeze and restart, generaly everything was falling apart. I have no FC's, but some apps starts and close after few seconds. I must left phone for some time and then everything back to normal. One more thing. Before playing Dead Zone, battery was 60%. I played maybe 5min, then freeze, restart and battery was 25%. What the hell??!!
So, my only thought is overheating CPU/memory. I read that S2 getting hot is normal, but maybe my CPU/memory is less tolerant. It's my only idea, and I say this again, I don't ever change frequency of CPU or memory. Governor is set by default to lag free. Of course I can lower frequency or change governer to slower, but it's pointless.
I'm so much closer to send it to warranty with note that is restarting at heavy use. My only hope is that they don't just upgrade FV like they used to do.
I will do it on next week, so maybe during the weekend someone will post an idea what else could it be. But please, don't tell me to flash other rom or kernel, I check douzens of them, it's something else.
Hi all, I flashed today Paranoid Android 3.99 - 29.08.2013 (I come from Vanilla RootBox) on my Samsung Galaxy SII, and I noticed that except for gapps everytime I flash something else the phone stuck on the bootscreen.
I flashed Dorimanx 9.39 and it worked at first but after a reboot it got stucked, after I kept the stock kernel of the ROM and try to flash PurePerformanceX and it got stucked again.
Procedure before and after flashing ROM and everything else:
1. Nandroid Backup
2. Wipe Data
3. Wipe Cache&Davlik
4. Flash PA 3.99
5. Wipe cache (just for safety )
6. Flash Gapps
(6.1. Flash PurePerformanceX the second time without installing the Dorimanx)
7. Flash GS2KernelWIpe2.09
8. Flash Dorimanx 9.39
I tried also to do point 7&8 before the 6, but it's the same.
Anyone else having this kind of problem?
Cheers!

Nope, I haven't tried that version of PA yet, it's on my to-flash list but testing something else right now. You mentioned using hawkerpaul's kernel wipe script...
What I would do (and personally follow every flash) is:
Flash ROMNuke script by hawkerpaul
Flash PA
Flash Gapps
Flash dorimanx
No other wipes other than the ROMNuke script. Then, see if it boots (& reboots). If it does, then flash your performance mod. If that causes bootloops, my guess is that the performance mod isn't updated for 4.3 yet. Either find a new performance mod, or tune dorimanx so you don't need one
See how you go.
Sent from a galaxy far, far away
at first I tried without PurePerformanceX, just PA+Gapps+Dorimanx. I actually use to flash the kernel before flashing gapps, 'cause a lot time flashing gapps before the kernel gave me some problem.
to answer to the other question, yes, I used the GS2KernelWipe by hawkerpaul
By the way, there is a guide for a good tuning of Dorimanx kernel?
Ok so have you tried his ROMNuke script? Never had an issue if I flash that before a ROM /kernel /gapps.
Hmm. Depends on what you want it for. I tune mine for battery, but not to the point of any lag. Someone else doesn't care about battery, and just wants s3 speed on a 2 year old phone. See what I mean? In saying that, read the last 5-10 pages of the Dorimanx discussion thread. That'll give you a pretty good idea of what works for performance. Obviously a god step is the 'performance' profile in Stweaks
Sent from a galaxy far, far away
I'm doing backups before trying . Let you know how it will go.
I'm actually looking for a good battery life but avoiding lags , anyway thanks for the tips
it seems working properly now! thx for all

This is my first post here so please excuse any violation of rules.
So, I was running CWM recovery + Siyah kernel + CM10.1 + Touchwiz 4.1.2 (dual boot setup) perfectly fine on my Galaxy s 3 for almost a year. But yesterday I decided to update all of those and updated to latest CWM using ROM manager, then changed the kernel to googy max2 and installed CM11. Everything worked properly except that my phone would freeze or hang up randomly at any time(whether swiping through homescreens or updating apps or even during standby). So I changed my ROM to S4 Revoution ROM (tried with both googy max2 and devil kernel). However, even this ROM gave me same hangup problems. So I moved onto TWRP recovery+ OmniRom but still encountered the same problem multiple times. After getting tired of wasting so much time, I came back to my original setup of CWM+Siyah kernel+CM10.1 thinking I wouldn't face this problem again, but to my aghast, the phone would still freeze randomly. Only a power button reboot would help. Please help, I have no idea what might be causing the problem as I have successfully tried every combination of recovery, kernel and ROM but to no avail. And no, I never manually tinkered with any CPU/GPU frequencies or voltages. Your time and help is greatly appreciated, Thank you.
PS: One more very important thing I forgot to mention, CPU-Z shows most of the time all 4 cores of the CPU stay at 1400MHz even though minimum speed is 200MHz. I have noticed this in S4 revolution ROM with googy max2 kernel and pegasusq governor(currently using this setup on my phone). Also, the "devil kernel" app on this ROM shows CPU either stays in deep sleep mode or 1300-1400MHz frequency.
Can't take screenshot for some reason in this ROM otherwise I would have uploaded those too. Thank you.

Did you do a complete wipe before installing all these roms? Wipe Dalvik Cache and Cache partition. I am running WanamLite 7.3 with stock kernel and Wanam Xposed. Here is the link to the rom - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1705866
Reboot into custom recovery. Do a full wipe, even though this rom says that it is not necessary but it is always a good idea to do a full wipe before flashing. Try this out and let's try to fix your problem.

Yes, and not just once, but every time I flashed a new ROM. I'm thinking my only option now is to unroot and go back to stock but i am unable to find my country's rom. (found one on sammobile but the download speed refuses to go beyond 2-3kbps).

Thank you for the suggestion but i'm afraid that would not help as i have already tried 4 different roms, one of which i used for a year without any problem, but still facing the hangup only since yesterday. plus, I have gone through enough trouble restoring my accounts/apps/contacts and all (especially whatsapp) again and again for the whole of yesterday every time i flashed a new rom. the problem is not related to the rom. thank you, again.

See, most of the things in your phone are software related. It is very very rare that you might have damaged the hardware. I see mismanagement of the resources by the ROM or kernel in your phone. What are the steps you are doing when installing a new ROM and which custom recovery are you using?

I did a full wipe, flashed everything again, did the emmc check as well as the dummy file generator thing....the hangups have reduced to 2-3 per day from 2-3 per hour but are still there. Should I downgrade my cwm recovery?
If you are rooted try the COMPLETE unrooting procedure mentioned at various places by flashing the latest stock firmware available from sammobile. This is to make sure your device software is like brand new. Test it for at least a day. Do a mega wipe (erasing everything even on internal SD card) before which can fix it in some cases.
When rooting again make sure you have the most bug free version of the recovery. CWM 6.0.4.4 is known to have minor problems here and there but nothing concerning to this topic.

Hi guys, I experience the same problems: I'm in any app and I press home to go back to the home menu => my phone's freezing for 5 seconds and then I see all my icons/folders/widgets slowly appearing. I would like to know how to complete format my internal SD card like you said. Thanks in advance.
by pressing the powerkey+homebutton+volume up for about 8-10 seconds you are taken to a recovery menu. You can choose to factory reset over there. That fixed problems in most cases. The only way to wipe the internal partition as well would be to install stock firmware which is a part of unrooting, this will erase everything and put a original rom in your phone.. You can follow the unrooting processes written in many posts in xda
Ok thanks for this quick answer ! So the only way to erase the internal SD card is the unrooting method?

As far as i know yes. Its not any trouble at all, wont take much time, except the firmware you would have to download. Its not needed in most cases. As i said before you may only need a factory reset so try that before! And just hit the thanks button

Before posting, please use the forum search and read through the discussion thread for [Index Thread] Lenovo K3 Note (K50-t5). If you can't find an answer, post it here, being sure to give as much information as possible (firmware version, steps to reproduce, logcat if available) so that you can get help.
Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy!
Awesome and Thanks
I am grateful someone with experience is stepping up. I am still pretty new to customizing my phones. This K3 Note is the first Mediatek mobile device I have had. I must say the flashing method is way better then qualcomm, despite the support being far more limited. I have only one request, and I would be happy to contribute where and when I can. That request is to unlock basebands 2 and 4. I live in the US and my network connection is the worst I have ever seen. I am limited to a tertiary channel band support from ALL US service providers. It really sucks, I am lucky when the connection exceeds 80kbs, I haven't had a connection this slow since dial-up. Most apps like maps and weather do not even sync on the mobile network I can only use them on wifi. Please help.

This K3 Note is the first Mediatek mobile device and I must say the flashing method is way better then qualcomm. Despite the support being far more limited in my region. I have only one request, and I would be happy to contribute where and when I can. That request is to unlock basebands 2 and 4. I live in the US and my network connection is the worst I have ever seen. I am limited to a tertiary channel band support from ALL US service providers. It really sucks, I am lucky when the connection exceeds 80kbs, I haven't had a connection this slow since dial-up. Most apps like maps and weather do not even sync on the mobile network I can only use them on wifi. Please help.
Help

Hi Hackerpower, I have problem with notification of Viber app(other not tested), when is Viber open in background notification works OK but when I clear background app(pressing the 'broom' to free memory), I don't
recive notification at all, notification come when I open app.
In other ROM like Xancin V3 everything work's great! Any solutions for this issue?
I do dirty install(flash) of this ROM over previously installed v.1527.

I don't think anyone has figured out how to unlock mediatek lte bands yet.
I searched and found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note/general/unlock-lte-bands-step-step-xiaomi-mi-t3084774

Good luck.

Is this the rom that it came with when you bought it?
Have you tried flashing a stock rom through SP Flash Tool? It sounds like a bug from your rom, if it's 6752 it has to be octa core, 6732 is quad core.

Yes, but you have to have a custom recovery to flash most of them.
Lenovo K3 Note "CWM/TWRP" ROM Install
Forgive me if this is not the place to ask, but ..... I found "Stock ROMs - Downloads and Tutorials" on reddit.com and the CWM/TWRP installation instructions are a bit different :
Extract the downloaded zip file.
Transfer extracted files onto your device/sdcard.
Boot into Custom Recovery mode.
Use the "Restore Backup" function with the extracted files.
Wipe you Data and Dalvik Cache partition.
Reboot.
..... comared to this (for example) :
Download the custom ROM copied to an external SD card root directory
While holding down:
– Power button + volume button up, to enter the recovery mode.
– Wipe Data / Factory Reset -> delete all user data
– Wipe Cache Partition -> Wipe cache
– Advanced -> Wipe Dalvik Cache
Return to recovery main interface Install zip from sdcard --> choose zip from sdcard --> Select your ROM
The "Restore Backup vs Install zip from sdcard" & "Wipe you Data and Dalvik Cache partition vs Wipe Data / Factory Reset, Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik Cache"
Is there a difference and why or is it just me? I just want to do it right. Thanks!
Which one is the best ?
I already flashed my Indian ROM using the SP Flash tool and have TWRP custom recovery installed and its working fine.....due to which I was able to change the screen density to 320 from the default by editing the built.prop.....but I am still not able to use xposed framework and viper4android fx...Can you suggest the rom which has these features along with the default ones ? Also the Dolby atmos does not work with any other music player than Google play music...I hope you can throw some light on this
Hello,
I would like to install this rom LiMoNcHeLo NovAMoD MDSTeam VibeAosP, which hackerpower himself is using atm.
But first I have a question about CWM recovery. Yesterday I flashed the CWM from kangel (official thread on k3 note), but I would like to flash the CWM by rootjunky. Can I just flash it via ADB fastboot like I did before or could I get problems flashing CWM over an existing CWM?
Another question that just came up, cause I just read about it in hackerpowers profile - xposed mod/framework - do I have to flash it at the same time I flash the rom or can I use the rom for a few weeks and then decide to flash xposed onto it?
Thank you very much!
And thank you hackerpower for the great work!
Daniel

Dolby atmos works universally with any app. If you are speaking about poweramp, disable the Direct Volume control (DVC) under Audio settings of poweramp

Just to try and explain the methods you've listed:
#1 Someone has installed a ROM; and perhaps rooted it and added some scripts, mods etc. and then they have backed up this ROM in custom recovery and they've packed up and uploaded this backup (you will need to use the same recovery - and the files will need to be added to the same folder on the sdcard (TWRP/backup/ for example).
#2 Is a zipped ROM with a META-INF folder that tells the recovery what to do with the included files (system, boot (data) etc.)
#2 is preferred as it isn't dependant on a specific type of recovery...

Xposed works on 5.0, links in my sig.
Never liked viper4android.
Dolby works with everything, maybe you uninstalled something you shouldn't have.

You can flash any recovery over another one, no problem. There are many recoveries that don't backup/restore properly be careful, and use the one's posted.
You can install/uninstall xposed framework whenever you want, after the first boot will take a long time.
Hi
Iam using this phone from 2 weeks.I flashed the indian Rom but i still have battery draining problem . I lose the full charge after 10 hours of normal use. The battery draining in this phone is very strange and i have never seen like it.
Well i am asking if there is a Rom that manages the battery backup in the best way.And Also the free Ram i am gotting in opening this phone is about 800 mb wich is strange also.

Install cpu spy plus and monitor the frequency. I believe your device is not going to deep sleep mode.
Also if no deep sleep install another app better battery stat and check the partial and kernel wakelock when not using the device. Try airplane mode and repeat above process. Finally if it doesn't figured, it is hardware problem, get it replaced

Thanks for the reply hackerpower!
So just to make sure I'm goint to do the right steps in the right order:
After I installed the CWM recovery like rootjunky did in the video you linked in your description, I will do the follwing:
1. Make sure battery is fully charged and boot into recovery
2. backup and restore - backup
3. wipe cache partition
4. advanced - wipe dalvik cache
5. wipe data/factory reset
6. install zip from sdcard (LiMoNcHeLo NovAMoD MDSTeam VibeAosP - gapps already included, so there's no need to flash any gapps.zip)
7. the rom description says root 100%, do I need to flash SuperSU.zip at this point then?
8. restart - enjoy
Lenove K3 note Model K50a40 GPS not working properly
Last month I brought Lenove k3 note in india from Flipkart.
Following is my device information.
Model Number : Lenove K50a40
BaseBand Version :K50a40.LWG.V37,2015/05/21 09:44,2015/05/21 09:44
BuildNumber: K50a40_S117_150706_row
I am facing issue with GPS of this device. GPS is very inaccurate. GPS is quite slow to lock on, and seems to "try too hard" to maintain the lock. GPS position easily "dislocates" to the adjacent or another nearby road. With My old phone I was using Runtastic app and it was capturing distance correctly. Now it shows my location at random places and end up showing totally wrong map of my run session and distance estimates. I am highly disappointed from this phone due to this issue. Is there any fix for this issue?

1. Doesn't need to be fully charged, just don't have little like <20%
2. backup (boot, nvram, system, data)
3.4.5. advanced wipe (select everything except internal storage and sd card)
6.7.8 just flash rom, everything is already there, first boot takes a while.

No, you have K3, not K3 note. This thread is for K50 not K30.

No battery drain here, it must be because of the apps you have running or because of your usage.
