Modding Lenovo K3 Note
I anticipate that I will, nor the forum will take responsibility 'of malfunctions and \ or damage!
Part One - CMW Install and Root command line
In this thread, I'll describe a simple, fast, and definitely safer than SPFTools.
SPFTools VCOM working on ports that are not always recognized, sometimes give problems also installing special drivers, they are almost always a problem for Windows because of the signatures on the driver.
Closed this little digression for information, we start with the drivers:
Driver Lenovo K3 Note + PDAnet+:
https://mega.co.nz/#!O4lmBaZa!jCUk1z0BB6wsBgP1P3e5BdoJQtBY_xi6TXuwcBOCv5k
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Install all drivers Lenovo inside. Once you finished enable the USB debugging and wait for Windows to complete its configuration.
When completed restart the PC and install the utility on the device:
PdaNet:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pdanet&hl=it
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Be sure to restart to have all the drivers installed correctly and stay in Debug USB.
Without this included in your terminal this .zip file to obtain permits Root later:
SuperSU:
https://mega.co.nz/#!b8tSiYZJ!yr3okwkxmoR8NqSN10PCEtxsLl25aZ3VUSALqTKszsM
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now download this Minimal ADB (with Recovery K3 notes included) from here:
Minimal ADB & Fastboot + K3 Note Recovery (CWM):
https://mega.co.nz/#!rs0lHZrI!hE3Ux99skP-q3RYsgb9KNwX2Dnji192uU0KJB3iQNdo
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now comes the fun part!
Unzip the zip file and open the file py_cmd.exe and quietly run these commands:
Code:
adb devices
To ensure that the PC recognizes the device, and if it should be unauthorized make sure that USB debugging is enabled.
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
This command will reboot the phone on a black screen, going in fastboot .
Code:
fastboot devices
This command will confirm the above.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
This command will install the much sought CWM, but it is not over yet!
Code:
fastboot reboot
This command will restart the device.
Perfect! now to get root permissions, there will be that off the device, wait a few seconds and turn it on using this key combination:
VOLUME UP - VOLUME DOWN - POWER
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Wait until the CWM is not playing, choose obviously the English language.
Subsequently searching
Code:
install zip
... and subsequently ...
Code:
choose zip from /sdcard
... looking for that zip file SuperUser inserted at the beginning.
Et voila! The device is unlocked and ready to receive new rom and functionality!
Part Two - Install new ROM from SPFTools CWM does not work when
Many with the above guide you tried to change the finding in eom stuck.
With this procedure you can go back, but before we move forward I want to give you a few details regarding the update of the rom:
*- The rom mounted on chinese devices with Play Service support and multilanguage already moddate the seller.
*- Given the above, download a rom 'official' (see NeedRom) carrying the phone in its native state.
*- If you need to download the latest versions from the site VibeUI not download the latest available, sometimes the downgrade is not possible (personal experience).
Let's start!
First, before you go ahead to make sure you have followed the guidance post 100% in the first part of the thread.
Follow the link:
SPFTools V5:
https://mega.co.nz/#!G0sVBK5A!M9DovhVgx_aCdXpySq0zmkKvrPbAFePtJgZRXyjtG7w
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now unpack everything and put it in a folder convenient for you.
I post the link of a rom in case I tried to see if this will work, even to you. To me it is working well.
In the third part if this rom works almost everyone will get all roms that I find around and decide what to do and what to do.
Rom 1949Deal:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/zep53n1j214ri45/lenovo k3 note rom.rar?dl=0
Password: 1949dealjoy
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Once downloaded, extract directory in a readily available and open flash_tool.exe .
Before we go on, first remove the battery and attach only the USB cable, then set the SPFTools this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Set in this way the program.
In step [1] look for the previously extracted folder and locate the file.
Give the program a few seconds to load the rom, and after leaving it in Download Only Click Download .
Obviously nothing will happen, to make sure that going forward, you can simply insert the battery and wait for the completion of the transaction.
Reinstall the back cover and turn on the device. Give it about 8/10 minutes for the first startup.
Et voila! We are again ready to modding this Lenovo K3 notes!
Part Three - Collection ROM
In update
You will not find in this type of tour guides, as is the link is driving are my own work, so excluding the Play app store are my property. If you have any problem with the link, do not hesitate to ask.
If you have been useful, it is needless to say that it is a thanks is appreciated!
PS: SORRY FOR MY BAD ENGLISH!
Works like a charm. Thanks
will get my lenovo in a week and will use this guide, Thanks!
just one question, when installing the driver's is phono connected to pc? and is it connected with battery inside it?

Better add a custom ROM for Lenovo K3 note in the thread has official Roms of lenovo k3 note are useless bcuz FDD 4G and VPN are not supported in k3 notes official ROM. It would be better if some one finds and updates the thread with k3 notes custom roms available :good:

Do you have it and know that FDD LTE is not supported? Sounds unlikely as China Unicom has FDD LTE in addition to TDD LTE (and the phone supports China Unicom).
Is there any ROM supporting dual SIMs?
Thanks.

Hi FeyoMx,
Can you please provide us a link to download the fixed CWM recovery ?
the actual recovery (CWM or TWRP) can not do a correct restore, the phone will only reboot to recovery after a restore
Thank you.

[REQ] SafeCenter
Dear Colleagues,
I have Lenovo Vibe Z2. It has got recently the Lollipop upgrade that works quite well. But Lenovo did not include the SafeCecter app into the upgrade and the old one, extracted from the 4.4 ROM, isn't compatible with the new ROM, it even cannot be installed.
So, my request: would someone be so kind and extract the SafeCecter app from the K3 Note firmware for me? Since the K3 also has Lollipop I hope that your SafeCecter would serve well on my Z2 too.
Thanks a lot in advance!

keeps saying fastboot is not recognized???
---------- Post added at 12:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:19 PM ----------
phone has to be in PTP usb mode not MTP usb mode and double click on themepush and then hit run don't run as administrator.
Has anyone managed to get Google apps installed on the CM 12.1 ROM for the Z9 Mini? If so, how?
edit: nm, figured it out, been a little while since I've used CM. You need to download the GApps zip from CM, make sure it's the 64bit version, than install it via Recovery.
Vijay. Have done exactly what you suggested. Changed USB debugging to PTP from MTP etc... Still shows error fastboot not recognized when I'm on #2. . Any thoughts or suggestions?
---------- Post added at 03:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:07 AM ----------
Appreciate some suggestions as I have done what you suggested.. PTP I instead of MTP etc...still get fast boot not recognized when I go to step 2. Gotta be missing something?
I see that on your download link for roms is a 12.1 cm rom, is that one working? I can't find anything about it on the Internet.

It's unofficial, comes from a Chinese forum. It does mostly work, however I've now removed it because it disables the backlighting for the back and menu capacitive keys and you lose access to a few features from the stock ROM, like the excellent camera app.
Any fully working Custom ROM?
I have tried many custom ROMS like CM 12.1, MIUI etc and finally have reverted to the latest factory V1.19(Chinese version) as the breathing lights and Nubia camera functions do not work on the custom ROM's . But even on the factory based ROM I have faced one major issue. I am using BSNL and iDEA sims. I am not able to enable 3G on my BSNL sim and the only combo where I can use 3G is when i use iDEA as the first sim. the 3G/2G changing does not seem to work fluently...It stubbornly stays on 2G and sometimes even when 3G is enabled on BSNL, I do not see any data even if I try to turn the data slider on. Has any one come across such issues? Everything started after I rooted my phone and tried to install custom ROM's. Now even when i flash the factory ROM these weird issues remain...
yeah cm has camera issue video recording does not work
You also have to checkmark the box on your phone! when USB debugging is turned on.
Go into setting about phone. tap build number like 7 times. then press back once the click more then you should see a new menu called developer options. click on the and scroll to usb debugging then once the slider is blue a window should pop up on your phone tick allow all the time and that wool should now work!
or try a different USB port in computer and a different cable. Make sure drivers are installed. and phone has to be connected to computer with you being able to access its root folder first.

How to flash?
Best method is MTK FlashTool(download)
Grab uboot (This is for devices that have android 5.0 on them, should work for all models, tested on my H420 and works)
Grab TWRP 3.0
1. Unzip Flashtool.
2. Get recovery.img and uboot.img from recovery and uboot zips.
3. Open flash-tool.exe
4. Select scatter file. which is in the same folder as flash-tool.exe
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
5. Select your uboot and recovery.img click on the highlighted, it will open the file picker.
6. Turn off your phone, plug in usb cable in the computer.
7. Click the download button in flashtool, plug the usb cable.
8. Wait for it to say ok.
DONE!
To enter recovery:
1. Turn phone off.
2. Hold power and volume down
3. When screen turns on, let go of the buttons and quickly hold them again.
4. A menu should appear about factory reset. Don't worry, it won't since the recovery is custom.
5. Select yes using volume keys, you'll need to do it two times.
6. Voila!
To root stock 6.0, download this and place files in flashtool like in the guide above, just pick the files and flash. (recovery.emmc.win = recovery; logo.emmc.win = logo etc.) afterwards you can go ahead and get a magisk zip and flash it (it needs to be modified to be able to patch our device, thanks to the people @ 4pda for being so helpful) here

forget my last question (kinda stupid). i have a problem if you guys could help me would be great. after flashing everything succesfully on the phone, wich is a spirit H420, under phone info now i get H422. it wouldn't be a problem if only i could flash the marshmallow kdz meant for the H420, but the installation process via LGUP doesn't even start. i've seen interesting stuff on 4pda, maybe i could find H420 lollipop stock there? to start from scratch before updating?
can anyone help me to revert the phone info?

In my case, I tried to upgrade my H420 from LP to MM via lg Mobile support tool or lg pc suite, but neither does the trick, constantly getting error. I have the MM .kdz file that is named as "H42020C_00_0530" but I tried to flash it through lg flashtool 2014, this one in vain too. What I should do to get Marshmallow? Thanks!

apparently marshmallow can't be flashed using flashtool 2014, in 4pda there's a link to this video. the video is in russian, but to put it simply: go to lg site of your country, go to support, find your device, download drivers and "LG support tool" wich is a new version of the 2014 flash tool, install both of them, insert the phone turned on because the software needs to recognise the model of the phone. it will find the upgrade, "the phone may reboot, do not disconnect etc.", sadly it will go through the process of downloading the update from the internet, so no use of our kdz.
i've managed to get untill "upgrade available" step using a mobile connection, but since the firewall of my university is filtered (and beside the weight of the file, my phone would reboot, so no tethering) i can't update now. as soon as i get to a private connection i'll try. let me know if you succeed.

No way with lg support tool, it didn't pass over the download of the firmware, just give error. I resolved following (by google translate) this: http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=686154&st=2500#entry50284916, then the green colored link Прошивка android 6.0 с нуля через LG Flashtool, finally download the attachment named H422, about 1,1 Gb. But the guide assumes that you utilize a firmware with .dz extension, not .kdz...We need an extractor/converter, just get this http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3136613&stc=1&d=1422375946.
Then, if you have, like me, downloaded the v20c MM stock firmware from a site like this: http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=190, just extract the two files needed to flash our H420: "LGUPc.dll" and "H42020c00.dz". I hope I've explained myself well or almost....:silly:
If needed, just ask. I'm pretty happy with my solution.:victory:

DONE! thanks mate! owe you one
a clarification to anyone who might come here: the 2013 version of lg flash tool, wich is required for this guide is contained in the H422.rar of the russian guide. it took me a couple of minutes to understand. also i didn't understand the part of the green link, but i managed to update anyway, so i think your advice is pretty clear.
i'm not sure if this kind of update was needed for my device (didn't try upgrade tool), but since it was succesfull for you, i already posses the .kdz and i'm on a limited connection, i decided to give it a try...and SUCCESS!
already like marshmallow, hope memory leak doesn't affect our devices, and can't wait for root!

AIM Of Thread: To Create Awarness About NetHunter And Discuss Over New Innovation Of Making OnePlus One A Better Device.
Hello Oneplus One Users && Everyone Else.
Glad To Be A Part Of XDA Community.
I'm new here,and i am a proud owner of Oneplus one which is a preferred Net Hunter Device By Offensive Security.
I Have Been using Oneplus One all most since One year. I use it mainly for pen-testing learning purpose.
The Kali Linux NetHunter project is the first Open Source Android penetration testing platform for Nexus devices, created as a joint effort between the Kali community member “BinkyBear” and Offensive Security. NetHunter supports Wireless 802.11 frame injection, one-click MANA Evil Access Point setups, HID keyboard (Teensy like attacks), as well as BadUSB MITM attacks – and is built upon the sturdy shoulders of the Kali Linux distribution and toolsets. Whether you have a Nexus 5, Nexus 6, Nexus 7, Nexus 9, Nexus 10 or OnePlus One we’ve got you covered. Our freely downloadable images come with easy to follow installation and setup instructions to get you up and running in no time at all.

You can check whether you adapter is functional with your device via the following steps/commands:
Step 1 : Connect you adapter using otg/y-cable.
Step 2: Open up NetHunter Terminal[Kali].
Step 3: Enter The command
Code:
ifconfig wlan1
If anything information show's up,then it means your adapter has been detected by the NetHunter system.
If you want to check it with something. Try it with Wifite.
For that,Do the following:
Step 1: Open up NetHunter Terminal[Kali].
Step 2: Enter The command
Code:
wifite
Step 3: On this screen it will show you 3 options if you have connected your adapter.
I) p2p0(used for linking local address)
II) wlan0(your mobile's internal wifi adapter)
III)wlan1(your external wifi adapter)
Step 4: Select III) option.
NOTE: When you select that option,wifite will try to put your adapter on monitor mode. At this moment you may notice that green blinking LED on your adapter.
Step 5: So if you see that LED,then your adapter is fully functional :good:.
So is this lollipop? And so we can crack passwords and hack with this rom? Im intrested in trying

Yes,this is lollipop. To be more specific it is cyanogen 12.1 snapshot. And the Nethunter Is flashed over it.
Pen-Test
Yes,you can pen-test your networks and check how strong you're passwords are by cracking.
Spoiler alert: Penetration testing is more than GUI-based softwares.You should have prior knowledge about basic programing,Networking and linux terminal.
If you Interested in this field, my advice is make your base knowledge perfect.

Cyanogenmod is not down, only changed the name to LineageOS
@Mr.Ak & FSadino
Thanks, but I'm afraid you misunderstood the question. I was just asking if there are reliable alternative sources for the old Cyanogen Mod stuff. A mirror site would be great but I could not find one.
This page doesn't provide the old images anymore, that's the problem (point b of the tutorial is useless now):
https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=bacon
No meta discussions needed, just another reliable source (and not for me but for this tutorial).
Bytheway this is a nice collection and one answer to my question:
https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/mirrors-for-official-cyanogen-roms-ota-updates.141825/
So this only works with cm12.1 snapshot or would it be possible to flash over lineage os?
You can flash it over lineage os if you want for any further questions you might have I recommend you go to the Kali nethunter github page

a few questions:
#1 How good sir, do you suggest I/we improve our base knowledge?
#2 For starting out, is a Nexus 5 better than a OnePlus One? i.e. why go with a $200 OnePlus One when you can go with a $75 Nexus 5 ??
#3 Is there any additional must have equipment you would need to do entry-level pen testing with the OnePlus One besides the phone? i.e. antennas?
#4 I am actively looking to buy a OnePlus One, used if possible, is there anything specific I need to inquire about? i.e. android version, boot loader locked?, ect, ect.
any and all advise is greatly appreciated!!

Answers-
1). You can do some ethical hacking course from YouTube.
2).Nexus 5 is no where compared to OPO.You can buy refurbished/second-hand OPO at much lower price, but,the question is why do you need only an OPO and nothing else? Nostalgia?
3).Check OP again,some must-have equipments are listed,however you'll find more when doing ethical hacking course.
4).You can find some some used OPO easily,no need to worry about boot loader, android version and stuff.

I don't know if seller ships to other countries than India.
There has been quite a bit of development on the full smartwatch front recently; notably the OpenWatch project that is in full swing and pretty much covered all the main manufactures and variants that are available.
Hopefully a new OS will be available shortly; however in the meantime Id like to offer this ported Resurrection Remix to the community as I have been asked a number of times to release it for testing.
I have been using this for about a fortnight now and so far am very pleased with the results. Battery life has been tripled with hibernation, and root access provides more potential.
Please note that the UI has not been optimized for round screens however anything awkward can be done via PC and a screen cast app. Im using Vysor.
Installation:
Install .zip via TWPR in the usual fashion. Factory reset wipe is recommended.
As always please process a full backup of your existing software inc. all partitions you have available (NVRAM etc) before flashing so you have a safe return point.
Details:
Resurrection Remix ROM 5.5.9 for MTK6580
Android Version: 5.1.1
Kernel: 3.10.72+
Ported for: Finox X5 AIR / LEMFO LEM5 Pro
Known Bugs:
Bluetooth - file transferring is 50/50
Display not optimised
No clock engine - please use Ricktops Universal Launcher to regain this function.
Palm brightness - use home button to turn screen on and off.
Suggestions:
Please allow 5+ minutes for OS for intial loading after flash.
Kernel editor - reduce max CPU frequency to 600Mhz
Install Xposed framework for Lollipop 5.1.1
Greenify (and enable framework in Xposed)
Change DPI to 200 - play around with this to see what suits you best
Enable expanded desktop for all apps
Use Battery Saving Mode and Airplane Mode when possible.
Once you have set up everything do a further backup to save you setting everything up again.
All credits to the Resurrection Team for their ROM. I have not altered any aspect of the original, simply ported this over to my device.
This should work on any 5.1.1 smartwatch if properly ported using your stock files. Please see ported folder in download link to see which file I have corrected. Replacing these files with your own stock resources should work.

Here is the ported Resurrection ROM for the Thor Pro - I honestly have no idea if this will work as I cant test it, but in theory it should?
You mentioned that you have a full backup already, I would suggest copying the BACKUP folder from the TWRP folder on your SD card to your PC so you can transfer it back in the event you need to do a full wipe if this bootloops. If you are using SPFT then chances are you will return back to stock recovery unless you modify the stock fw. From experience, its easier to just do a fresh flash when these thing dont work.
If you see the RR logo, wait a good 5-10 minutes for it to load. If it doesnt, chances are the port failed. In which case Im sorry.
Id also grab the Universal Launcher from an apk mirror so you can get the watch functions back and also using Vysor to set it up makes it much easier. Suggestions are in post above.
With regards to the connect phone app, it should work - Im using watchdroid to ping notifications over and it works with no issues.
Good luck! And let us know how you get on. Fortune favours the bold.

Awesome man, thanks a lot! I will test it tomorrow because it is 23:30 here in Portugal so its late. But tomorrow once I get back from work I will test it. Btw does it include the "connect phone" app to be able to use with wiiwatch? Or do I have to install later as system app or something?

I hope it works for you; would open it up for more people to hopefully improve it.
Im sorry Im not familiar with connect phone or wiiwatch? If its a app that came with the watch you could maybe look for it on the manufactors website? However WiiWatch - Watch Assistant is available on the app store (or an apk mirror) if this is what you mean? Could try that.
Keep us posted.

The connect phone app comes pre installed on the stock rom and that's what makes it able for the wiiwatch app to find the phone...and I have no other alternative because I have an iPhone:/. Anyway I will try the rom!
It didn't work...some errors like "error 7" and some "symlinks missing". I think I am going to sell it because it simply does not work properly with the iphone, it causes major battery drain on my phone because of the wiiwatch app to connect=/
But thanks a lot for your help!

Damn error 7 - i removed the asserts from the updater script - so it could be a number of other things.
Im sorry it didnt work mate. I would be up for trouble shooting it with you but would be so hard pin pointing the problem without a device to test it on here. Best just wait for OpenWatch to be released, or as you said sell it. I wonder what the delivery would be from Portugal to UK? : )
I appreciate you giving it a shot, ill remove the link so no-one else tries.
All the best.

I am now waiting for the battery to run out because I don't know the combination to boot into twrp xD. Also, unlike cellphones, forcing the power button doesn't turn it off, it just keeps rebooting. Thanks a lot for your help. I contacted zeblaze and they said they would look into the issues. First they sent me a firmware to try (which was older than the one you based the rom on, which was the same that came with my watch lol). Zeblaze seems to be very unorganized, even their site does not have firmware available to download...its a shame really, I wish i had bought a lemfo or kingwear!

If you want to speed it up remove the backplate and follow the battery ribbon to the motherboard. If you use something pointy but rounded you can just pop the contact up (disconnecting the battery) then push it back on. But you will most likely need to reflash with SPFT unless you have a way of booting into TWRP from power off.
It is ashame they arent more on the ball with updates etc, ive heard this alot with zeblaze. definetely go LEMFO or KW next - ive been told these have a very secure future and support is now officially by the RASC community from what I know.
Yeah that’s bad they don’t want to support the Thor pro is a really good budget device with big screen and outside readable, we still have the original firmware and not updated, yeah I have an IPhone to and the Bluetooth connection is not so good but it works the Bluetooth calling works too good and I have to install an app Volume booster because is so low and for the position of the hardware is really bad this device has potential. I am waiting for my Lemfo LemX
Good work on the port. Im trying to get RR on my Microwear H2 (1gb 16gb) I have a working TWRP recovery. Could you point me in the direction of the port guide you followed for your watch so i can try and port it myself. Thanks
Also, have you managed to port any higher versions of android for your watch? I am aware of the Openwatch project, which brought me to your post.
EDIT: Just read the last few lines of your 1st post. Will have a go as you have suggested. Thanks

All credits to the Resurrection Team for their ROM. I have not altered any aspect of the original, simply ported this over to my device.
This should work on any 5.1.1 smartwatch if properly ported using your stock files. Please see ported folder in download link to see which file I have corrected. Replacing these files with your own stock resources should work.

I have been collecting files for the a500 for a while now and I finally decided to release them since Tegraowners seems to officially be down. I have most of the roms from Tegraowners as well as some files to unlock the bootloader.

Do you think you can post a tutorial on how to install custom roms for this tablet? I've been trying to figure this out ever since I got one of these and I find it way too confusing. I want to get 5.1.1 up and running.

I just updated the thread, the tutorial is up.
I was able to successfully install some of these roms on my tablet. I was wondering what version of gapps should I download? I have a version of gapps from a different forum site that I've been using. Which version of gapps from their website would I use on the omnirom (5.1.1)?

I can help but first a need a bit of info.
What version of Android is your tablet on?
Is it rooted?
What did you get as your cpuid?
And also I think you have the wrong files because this guide doesn't use a500 flash tool. In the a500-bootloader-nvflash zip just click a501.bat and follow the instructions.
Thanks for fast response

sorry for late reply. ive been trying to do the rooting by using the ICS root blackthundr ONLY, and press the button at the bottom with check marks of what it is going to install, but the info at the bottom says "loading file info" and nothing is happening. usb debugging is on, and tab is on while on its homepage, so what i did i just click the button part to do the process, until it says done. but when i check the tablet nothing happened. no new apps was install. can we do a live chat, like in whatsapp or viber so i can also take photos of what im doing and what is going on, so you can track down everything?

Gapps for Omnirom 4.4.4
Hi, many thanks for gathering all here.
I've tried CM12, but found it unusable due to slowness.
Then I put Omnirom 4.4.4 which runs fine, but I'm having trouble with the gapps.
I tried OpenGapps ARM 4.4 pico, and my /data is formatted as f2fs, but Play is showing a black screen and play service stops all the time.
Which gapps version do you use ? I need a stable version.
Thank you

From what I've tested omnirom 5.1.1 seems to run a little better than cm 12 so you could try that. When you overclock it to about 1.5 GHz it runs pretty good. As for the Google play bug idk how to fix that I haven't tried KitKat on my device in a while.

Thing is i don't understand this
"Suggest you extract to the same folder you used for your adb files,
USBDeview will only work when you have previously plugged your tab into the PC WHILE
you were running HC Rom and BL"
specifically adb files ad i also didnt plug it in previously running those things
