Alright guys, I spent a whole night researching and reading all the comments and discussions in a lot of threads related to Lenovo K3 Note and I just registered myself. Now, I want to install a custom rom and I found that the roms build by daniel_hk are the most reliable. But the thing is I'm not sure which one to install. LineageOS or SlimRoms or CarbonROM?
Please let me know which one is the best regarding Battery Back up, Ram and least lag ?
Also please post some significant Screen Shots of each roms Home, Menu, Settings, Notification Bar, etc.
So that I can see which one looks better for my taste.
And lastly please post all the fixes available and the best karnel.
I'm sure everyone in the K3 Note community will be helped through this thread.
Also I'm a total noob in this department so please ignore any of my idiocy as I don't know everything.
Thank you very much.
As far as I'm concerned, there are no stable Android 7.1 ROMs for this device yet. They all suffer from a serious flaw in one way or another - either video recording not working properly, video playback not working properly, poor battery life, misconfigured buttons or just random glitches and bugs that shouldn't happen, even after flashing fixes. I tried both Carbon ROM and LineageOS but I had to return to stock. Then again, the Stock ROM has poor memory management so it lags a lot. It's a shame, I've probably tried around 15 ROMs and the only one that was moderately stable was AOSP Vibe 6.0 which was a remixed china dev ROM but that has problems with internal storage glitches which causes all the userdata to be moved to another folder randomly (don't ask me why this happens, I really don't know but it is frustrating and happened twice, had to move all my files over again).
If you know of a fully stable AOSP ROM, even if it is 6.0, I'd be very keen to try it.

Thanks for the helpful information, but I know k3 note is yet to receive a fully stable custom rom. Knowing that I still want to install a custom rom by daniel_hk cause firstly the stock rom is very laggy and I cannot work with it and to my knowledge those three roms has received almost all the necessary and essential fixes already. for example the YouTube zoom thingy and the snapchat thingy got fixed I heard and many others. I think I can live with minor bugs like gps navigation not being able to be correct and **** like that. That's why I'm asking which one should I go with between these three.
Fair enough, but the ROMs from daniel_hk, whilst good, are definitely still in beta. YouTube zoom isn't fully fixed even if you flash the patch. If you go from 1080p to 720p, or 720p to 480p, you will get a zoom bug. 1080p videos recorded on the device do not play back in the gallery app or MX player, and the flashlight turns off by itself if you turn the screen off. Otherwise performance is good.
Edit: Carbon ROM is the only one with the latest fixes so I'd go for that.

So does Carbon Rom gives the best battery back up and uses the least Ram ?

Probably not, but it's still pretty good

In the previous build of lineage, the hotspot issue still has not fixed. I've to configure hotspot fresh everytime if I want to connect it to my PC or other device otherwise it just shows connecting and never connects. Is there any specific fix for that?

Not at the moment. And there are still issues with video playback, flashlight and camera video focus.
Lineage OS 14.1 is the one I've been happiest with. There are niggles and glitches, with battery being the biggest. On the whole I accept it's still work in progress. Stick to stock if you need stability.

It depends on what you want, no custom nougat ROM has it all....
Having tested it all, I use Resurrection Remix 5.8.2 with March 5 security update.
Battery life is about 30 - 45 minutes less than Daniel's Rom but the smoothes of the performance is better.
#1 It has super fast charging (2180Mah)
#2 GPS locks in few seconds.
#3 Hotspot works once you on it off it and on it again.
#4 YouTube works perfectly
#5 Video recording does not crash at all, with or without flashlight. Footej camera works perfectly which is a plus for me, whatsapp, Facebook, Instagram, periscope works well with the camera.
#6 it works perfectly with three different custom kernels I've tried on it. (I currently use the latest Daniel_hk kernel with voltage tuning & OC)
It serves me well and since I have 2 spare batteries I don't bother however, tweaking the kernel to powersave gives me more juice.
So, it depends on what is a deal breaker for you.
I've used 2 AOSP Nougat that are very good but since all AOSP Nougat Audio recording level is low, which is a deal breaker for me, I switched to LineageOS before hitting RR Nougat.
FYI Footej Camera only works because it records in 720p by default. 1080p recording is the problem.
By the way - I got fed up with bugs so I created my own debloated VibeUI ROW ROM with a nexus feel - so far it seems to work well and no signs of lag so far. I think the lag isn't caused by the core ROM, but the add-ons that Lenovo insist on adding. If there are no major issues I'll upload it by the end of the week

So if you needed to compare between LineageOS and RR Nougat, which one would be better in terms of smooth user experience and which one do you think has the lowest issues?
Also I do really need the most battery backup I can get.

Both are the same core but RR has a little more customization and faster charging.
LineageOS by Daniel has the best battery backup time in CM based Roms. I've achieved 5hrs SOT with one AOSP nougat. It has low audio recording that's why I didn't continue.
You can achieve faster charging on Daniel's Rom with ultimate or Vince kernel. But it comes with dt2w and takes extra juice from the battery.
You should try flashing different Rom and check it out for yourself

Hdr has been fixed but with another hotspot bug replacing it
Did you face hotspot bug in RR 5.8.2?? Mugiks ?? Can you confirm? :/
Hi,
I have a Xiaomi mi5. And i would like to find a ROM who match with me !
Before I was on Miui.eu then mi-Globe and now i use LineageOS 15.1 but on Lineage i have some Bug, sometimes Rebooting alone, Camera don't boot and i have a black screen, when i take the subway the xiaomi take 4-5 Min to take the 4g and stay on 2g during this time, SOT are sometime 2h30 an othertimes 4h30 with the same utilisation.
Before i followed the actually on the xiaomi mI5 but now i have not the time and i find with diffulties the good information and now i am drown with all Different ROM . I'm French and my english are not amazing as you can see so Sorry.
So I ask your help to find a ROM suitable with my utilisation.
I need a ROM stable (i don't want absolutely the latest feature)
With a good gestion of battery
With a good gestion of Camera
With a good gestion of GPS for EUROPE
A simple ROM, on Lineage i am 75% of times on a mode "balanced" to save my battery, i don't need of all the power of the snap820 (I regret my choice my girlfriend have the redmi4x and it is perfectly balanced for me just the camera is not on the top !)
Thank you for your help ! :silly:
I'd go with JDCTeam Nougat rom. I've been trying to find an Oreo rom for myself, too, but couldn't find one working as it's supposed to. Lineage 15.1 is actually good, but battery isn't great for my usage, with JDCTeam I can almost get 4 hours of SoT and everything is working great, GPS, GCam, Magisk modules and so on.. so, if you want a stable ROM on Nougat, I'd go for it.
Has anyone tried their ROMs?
As far as I know, the Honor Note 8 is based on the same Kirin 955 (Hi3650) platform as the:
Honor V8, P9, P9 Plus
and the Kirin 950s (also Hi3650) - Honor 8, Honor V8, Mate 8.
HN8 isn't listed as supported, and I imagine that's probably because it's a rare device outside China as it never launched internationally. Hopefully rather than some kind of strange hardware difference that SNAFUs everything.
The Android 8 / EMUI 8 kernel source is available at http://download-c1.huawei.com/downl...oadId=99970&version=425799&siteCode=worldwide so if it does need something added to make their ROMs compatible, is it possible that it's going to happen?
I bought one due to it being the very last of the big screen 16:9 devices. The camera I don't really care about, as I've decided the best solution is a big screen and big battery, and a Sony RX100 with Wifi / NFC / BT. Selling my P20 Pro as the screen's too small and narrow, and development has been killed stone dead due to the no more bootloader unlocks.
Anyway, can anyone shed some light?
I have not tried it, but i read some feedback from other people that have installed it on their Honor Note 8.
It works, but it is slower. Especially when scrolling, there is noticeable lag and it is not smooth compared to stock rom. I wish there was a better rom, but it seems stock is still the best.
I searched the threads and couldn't find any mention. Do you remember where or when? It may be that optimisation for the 955 has been improved significantly since then. Though I suppose by the same token it could be total lack of HN8 optimisation that's the issue.
I haven't uninstalled the stock system apps and Google Play Services framework yet, but I have disabled them all, revoked all permissions and installed lightweight alternatives. It's a lot better, but still quite a way off LOS / AOSP based ROMs that I'm used to. General speed is decent, but there are quite frequent stutters and slow responses.
How does the latest versions of Kang compare? Much quicker?
Have the updates (application only) past B528 sped things up significantly? Chinese forums seem to indicate that B533 or later will go full release in the next week or two.

Thanks. Dunno why search function didn't pick that up ... I'm not very keen on its implementation on XDA forums.
Anyway, sounds positive. If official HN8 and Hi3650 support came only with the last (August) update, then I think there's considerable hope for improvement.
AOSP / LOS / RR really should be a lot faster and smoother than EMUI 8 for HN8 in its stock form ... there's so much crap on it, and some of the stock apps are really bulky.
On that note, I'd strongly recommend that anyone who's on stock disables and revokes permissions from the Huawei Gallery app and installs an open, lightweight alternative. I'm using the Gallery from Simple Tools and have it set as default. Massive improvement in speed and lack of lag. The Huawei one slows things down seemingly even when open in the app drawer but not focused.
i tried it ... issue is mainly, that only sim slot 2 works - which also serves as sdcard-slot for me a no-go but if you don't use an sdcard, try it out.
Also, camera didn't work at all
Going to wait until the next OK release of LOS / RR.
https://openkirin.net/download/
New Resurrection Remix version is out, including network switch fix and screen tearing fix (the scrolling performance issue) on Hi3650 (HN8 is Hi3650) devices.
Assume new LOS version will be forthcoming very soon too.
Will probably wait for that, but if anyone tries the RR, do post your experience. Particularly those who've tried the much better (than 528) 535 stock.
Notes:
fixed in-call mute (Thanks to Flex1911)
fixed ussd codes (Thanks to Flex1911)
fixed network switch on hi3650 based devices
added the option to disable fast charging (Settings -> About -> OpenKirin)
september 2018 security patches
based on final rr 6.2.0 sources
REUPLOAD: fixed screen tearing on hi3650
Have you tried this new version?
Is the problem with sim and with camera solved?
Hi guys
I flashed RROS and OmniROM yesterday. Quite fluid experience, camera works.
Sim1 still not working (my main focus)
If you don't use an SD card, try it out, i think it will be fun
I would really like to use it but I need the SD!
However I'm glad the camera works.
I hope that in the future the problem of the sim will be solved too.
Really!
Let's see what the new version of LOS brings when that's released. Usually it's a bit ahead of the RR build (which got released first this time).
Also, for those of you who are reporting non-functionality of certain features, or bugs, you should report it to the devs on their Telegram Channel. Remember to specify the device.

Deep Sleep appears to be broken on Hi3650 and Hi3660 on all the ROMs. They're looking into the issue.

Hi,
i used RR Beta 3 on honor 9. Front com.huawei.camera can take pictures, but files are not saved.
Dear All,
I want to switch to AOSP from MIUI if possible. Are there any ROM's for Mi9 which doesn't have any bugs/functionality broken in AOSP. For me the camera, bluetooth, fingerprint, batterylife are very important.
AOSP based ROMs tend to be buggier than MIUI, you can either try yourself or browse each ROM's thread and see for yourself what issues people are reporting. Achieving 100% bug free is near impossible, today's OSes are too complex to be tested thoroughly with limitless configurations from one person to another. At least MIUI gives guarantee for conditions they test, most AOSP based ROMs only state "you tell me" in the bug section, showing that the ROM is lightly tested only.
Sadly there is no Bug free aosp rom and i think there will never be one. The Best you can do is using stock rom or xiaomi.eu rom and debloat it if you dont want/need miui stuff, there are two or three threads related to debloat.
I'm on extendedui everything looks functional so fare. Only have few problems with automatic brightness and stuttering Bluetooth streaming but didn't take time to try to fix this issue.

what about FOD?
It's working fine.
Hello, I own a Mi A2 device (jasmine_sprout) (6/128 Variant)
There is a very weird issue with my device. Basically, my display has weird and different glitches everytime I use a ROM that is not based on Android 11
Even the stock ROM has these glitches.
If I use the Stock ROM (Android 10) or any other rom below Android 10
I have a very weird double tap issue on my touchscreen. Wherever I touch, the touch is registered twice or more some time
It doesn't bother much on normal use but typing experience is worse and video games are almost unplayable as I cant hold the buttons.
[ I have tried the stock rom and resurrection remix ]
But If I use any other ROM that is Android 12 or above,
There are horizontal gray lines that flicker on the edge of the screen and they are very visible.
I read an article online which said that setting my rgb values to all 90% in color calibration will fix this issue but it did not.
But android 12+ doesnt have the double tap glitch though
[ I have tried arrow os, pixel experience, crDroid (all android 12)
The only ones that dont have this issue of display are basically android 11 roms.
I tried ROMs like Corvus OS, Arrow OS and crDroid and they all had none of these issues listed above.
I want to know why this happens and if there is a fix for it because I want to install an Android 12 based ROM.
**I should also mention that I had my phone's display changed by a local repair shop**
**I thought it could be a faulty display but then I'm confused why it works on Android 11 and no other versions**
I am currently running crDroid 7.12 (Android 11) Official and it is running stable without any issues mentioned above
Even if there is no fix for it, I would atleast want to know the reason of this.
Thanks!!
I have managed to solve this issue by changing all values in LiveDisplay > Color Calibration to 90%. I am still not sure what caused this issue but it is now fixed atleast. I am currently running Pixel Experience (Android 12).
