Here is a fix for the video recording not working. This fix works on my Stock Global ROM for the Helium. It may work on CM13 based roms but there may be bugs. This works on the 64/128gb Chinese Helium and the 32gb Chinese Hydrogen.

Thanks for trying. Just reporting... On CM13 third edition hydrogen fix doesn't work.The very first time it recorded video with no sound, then on second attempt it recorded just the first frame and no sound. Reboot doesn't help.

Try it on Resurrection Remix and let me know if it works on there. I don't have a Hydrogen so I can't test. There are also so many more options in Resurrection Remix that I don't even want to use plain CM13.
I try it in 2. Edition of CM13. Video work, but i have no Sound.
Tried it right now. RR V2 : Video works but playback seems to be 4x faster than normal. And no Sound.
I really hope you find the problem. It's simple the best phone I eher had.
I hope too, you can fix this. Big Thanks for your help and work.
Worked once twice in Remix. Now it only captures stills with sounds.
RR Mi Max Pro 128GB
Great job, working a treat - thank you.
I have researched/experimented with the video recording bug and I am pretty sure this is the problem.
That is exactly what happens on CM13 based ROMs on Mi Max. I have replicated it by rebooting with usb connected and recording works... dies after usb disconnect and device wakes from deep sleep. I even did dirty remux of brocken recording on my PC and it proved all video frames were there but with incorrect duration.
So looks like we have to wait and hope Xiaomi to fix the device firmware/kernel? part that causes the deep sleep problem on CM(very unlikely) or release source code.
As you probably know the list of all vendor files pulled from miui to build CM is based on the official CM device tree for Note 3 Pro(kenzo) which has very similar hardware... They even pull many of those files for kenzo from Mi Max miui base( android_device_xiaomi_kenzo/proprietary-files.txt). I compared the camera firmwares for both and it is exactly the same bit-by-bit. And yet kenzo CM13 don't have that problem. So it must be some other firmware part or kernel issue.
Also wondering why as far as I know miui doesn't have that problem using same firmware/kernel!? Must be something in the camera app or framework or something...

If I have time I will try to build xposed module to intercept the video and fix the first frame duration as dirty/temporary fix(as explained in the link).
EDIT: Ok... As prove of concept build xposed module for testing. It fixes recorded videos but needs some tuning... The first few audio samples are cut off in the repair process and audio gets out of sync. Have to figure out how to fix that...
Just install the attached apk, enable the module in xposed installer and reboot. That's it. Just record as usual. Works with CM and RR(not tested) build-in Camera apps only(for now...).

Seems to work on CM13 (3rd version) on my Hydrogen but only if the recorded videos are saved in internal storage (the camera apps non responsive if saving to sdcard). Thanks for putting this fix out, really appreciated.

I should've not called it a fix, it's just a dirty hack... I still can't find a way to sync audio/video properly. That sdcard problem is probably related to much lower write speeds.

Thanks for the explanation. Hopefully there will be a permanent fix to the video recording problem in due course. For now, your hack will come in handy.
Let's get back on-topic here thanks guys...
You may want to look at CPUAwake code. with CPUAwake enabled there is no problem with camera after deep sleep and overnight battery drain is still the same (0-1%). It will be great to make "dirty hack" independent from any app (xposed , cpuawake) as a piece of code (somewhere in boot.img inits?). Thank you. as for "no sound" in my patches/builds(some stock miui audio-related files files) I have no problem with it but in some cameras "mono" should be choosen as an audio source. or it could be only "mono" - never tried them separate.

Yep, my initial test confirms CPUAwake keeps video recording working after device wake up... Thank you for your discovery:good:
I tried a similar idea initiating wakelock before recording but it didn't work...
Is CPUAwake open source? Can't find any code...
I think if we open the hood (UI) there is a single line that tells to the system something like: "system, dont do this !"
somewhere in smalis. cant find it. even worse - dont understand smalis

I actually examined CPUAwake code and it uses android native wake lock acquire() call so nothing special there. And it doesn't release the wake lock till disabled. Don't like that... Trying to find better solution... We'll see...
Let me know if this fixes video recording on CM based ROMs...
Add these two lines to /system/build.prop:
Code:
media.camera.ts.monotonic=0
#[STRIKE]persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=true[/STRIKE]
... and do full reboot(not just soft). USB disconnected... Test video recording, if it works leave device with screen off for 5 minutes, test recording again. It should work(fixed)...
EDIT: I should've mentioned it will only work if video recording was working for you after fresh reboot but brakes when device wakes up from deep sleep... This means all early CM based ROMs are out... they didn't have any video recording working at all or no sound...
EDIT 2: Second line is not needed. Only first line keeps video recording working after deep sleep...

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 ?

use latest AOSP STABLE2 AKA MADos........ this is by far the most stable NG rom
btw,daniel has built latest lineage...with hdr fixed...which makes everything fixed......as daniel fixd the hdr..... now....mugik04 will build Latest RR with fix.......wait for that rom.....

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

https://openkirin.net/ the first asop rom is here! i just installed it and seems very fast , you need the stock recovery and an unlocked bootloader. uses the emui camera so will still take great photos.
edit: i can not make or receive calls so far. maybe i am doing something wrong. will play around some more and see if there is a fix.

Thanks for bringing this out , would like to try it , but first I need to make sure I can be able to make and receive calls !
would you mind keeping us updated with your discoveries using the rom please ?
The rom is blazing fast, no issue so far but i'll keep on testing it for a while. I have no problem with callings, make sure that you flash the correct recovery_ramdis.img for your model. I also got the latest magisk installed no problem. My only concerns would be no more AI camera, and no 3D face ID.
Update:
Some stuffs I have notice:
-USB-C earbuds doesn't work, USB-C adapter + normal earbuds works.
-The phone run a bit warmer than stock.
-It seems like the auto brightness sucks, it almost always put the phone at full brightness. I toned it down manually and the phone seems to cool off a bit.
-Safety net passed but google pay still doesn't work.
-No stereo speakers.
-Fingerprint sensor works but no indicator on screen of where to place the finger.
-No idea how to change screen resolution
Updated one day battery from 9am to 10:30pm.

Any chance you can share the file ( if you have it ) to flash the stock recovery , for a single sim global mate 20 pro ( LYA-L09 ) ?
I've been "google browsing" without luck !
edit : nevermind , I managed to extract it from a full update (.228)
Gonna try the ROM now
Cheers !
After some reboot and adjust, the phone run alot cooler now as close as stock I would say. The battery is not as good as stock because it is running at 2k compare to 1080p like I normally use on stock and there is no option to change resolution natively. I wish we have official support for this rom soon.
Try to install gcam if it's work?
Why are there no screenshots / videos / etc. of the OS on the webpage?

Hello, I just want to know if mate 20 pro will be officially supported for this rom. I love this rom, it is so fast and smooth with decent battery life.
Thank you!
ROM is amazing so far. Calls work and other than the fingerprint scanner, everything works great.

Fingerprint actually works, just no indicator on screen of where to place it. U have to max ur brightness for the fingerprint sensor to pick it up tho. So not really as imposible to implement as 3d facial.
Great ROM , superfast , runs really nice and smooth in my mate 20 pro (hardware)
I hope the developer post it here at xda , so we can all make it better together ( I mean with feedback , findings , tips , etc )

Hi guys, I am aware that Phh makes one of the best GSI period but the problem is that lad aint got time to fix for each and every devices.
So if anyone is capable, please make a gsi optimised specifically for M20.
Thanks in advance.
The problem I've faced:
1.Fingerprint sensor doesn't work ( wasn't smart enough to implement the fix provided)
2.After two or three reboots the devices bootloops but the strange part is it boot upto lockscreen and keeps looping.
3.Wide angle camera will be gone entirely which is a shame as it is one of the best part of the phone.
is there one or what? ever since I bought this phone it has not been fixed. I already know the temporary fixes and it's just annoying to keep turning **** off every time it lags.
Update your phone to miui 14. The problem is not fixed completely, but it is better
Wait, what is the issue?
I installed crdroid rom and 90hz mode is fine!
don't know about miui14.

how fine is it? do you still get the 90hz bug or not at all? I installed Pixel so this problem would be fixed but unfortunately, it's not fixed in it.
As we discussed Here, unfortunately there's no fix, since it maybe a hardware issue, and appears to related with the energy management at processor level or mobile (5g/4g) modem of this processor.
