Hello,
I have a Lenovo K3 Note (Lemon) with Android 5.1. However, it is full of bloatware in Chinese. I would like to get rid of them but obviously I have to reinstall the OS. I know that here in this forum there are several better Android OS available.
Unfortunately I am an idiot when Android is concerned. I hope that someone would use some time to teach to me step-by-step how to install a good Android OS to my phone, preferably 6.0 or later. I have a PC (Win 10) in case it is needed.
Thanking everybody for trouble in advance!

You have a forum in Spanish with a full thread of how to install an Android 6 here:
https://www.movilesdualsim.com/index.php?threads/144350/
Or Android 7, here:

Sorry, bad Spanish

@Bundestank
if u r not a geek, your chances of bricking your phone r very high, my advise dun do it.
dun like chinese apps, simply disable them.
can't install google play store, install n use uptodown.apk ( http://en.uptodown.com/android ).
it can update your apps on your phone.
all custom roms r experiment roms, they have their unsolvable gitches.
stock rom is the most stable.
wats the point of having the latest roms tat r not running at optimum.
it probably run at base level due to hardware issue, even worst kill your phone.
ps:
all u can do is update rom from lollipop to marshmallow:
1) make u r connected to wifi (dun use data connection).
2) goto settings > about phone > system update
or use system update app.
3) done, simple even an idiot able to do it.
Increase performance by debloating your Android
Hi guys. So you're here to debloat your phone. That's OK.
Steps:
1: Root your phone.
2: Install Titanium Backup or Remove System Apps from play store.
3. Open any of the two apps>grant root access>with proper care and attention do the rest(never uninstall system module apps>debloated.
Merits: Will feel performance improvement.
Demerits: You tell me!
Hit thanks if helped!
Hi I'm looking for a way to modify the Android auto APK in order to allow for languages other than English.
An Xposed module would probably work, but no Xposed for Android 8 yet and I don't really like having to downgrade to 6.
Any ideas ?
Guys, you really can't imagine how much I'm nervous and frustrated. I tried almost all custom roms in last two months, but Android Car only works on stock MIUI or custom MIUI eu rom. Every AOSP rom has this issue.
Step to reproduce:
- Install Android Auto
- Grant permissions
- When the app will ask for "draw/display over other apps" permission, grant it.
- Android Car can't detect the permission granted and will never start. It keeps asking for the same permission
Multiple reboots, multiple cache/data deletions, multiple clean flash for multiple different roms, but the issue is still here.
Please help, I need Android Auto but I deeply hate MIUI. I don't know what else I can try, it's sad and frustrating. Help.
Update.
I've tried installing old versions of Android Auto. Nothing changed.

Ok, but every Oreo rom has this issue...
If you have Android Auto compatible vehicle, why still stuck with a $150 phone which can just make-do with custom rom setups?
The issue is still here. I hope some devs can look into this issue, sooner or later.

Congratulations, you've just won the "2018 dumbest answer" award!

Sell my award in a thrift store and get a better phone.

Nevermind sir. We're here discussing about a problem and your response isn't relatable and not professional.

Not only Android auto but also some other banking apps crash on custom roms. Magiskhide also not working for these.
What you can try make Android auto a system app and then give permission manually. See if works. Android auto supports very few countries so we can't test widely.

Hi, unfortunately I didn't find. Now I'm currently using official AEX Pie by @pyshydv but Android Auto doesn't work.

I tried with the system app stuff but it didn't work. I was having your exact issues but now banking, fingerprint and MagiskHide are perfectly working with latest official AEX Pie, currently the only issue is Android Auto.
I tried your idea with system app, and unforunatelly its not working.
What I've found out is that android auto works with nougat custom roms. this is a small workaround for me because I need Android Auto for car navigation very often.
Does anybody know if a fix for the problem is still in work? Or is AA not significatn enough and there might be no fix in the future?
Any news on this?
Works perfectly on Nougat, but anything newer I tried some time ago never worked. It's an absolutely critical feature, and I have no idea why more people aren't taking about it.
Do you know if it still doesn't work?

Sorry to ask, but... If you "deeply hate MIUI", why did you buy a Xiaomi phone ?
I mean, there are other good phones with equal ratio quality/price, you could have bought another kind of phone...
2 months have passed. Any news on this issue?
Same problem for me... Any news?
Same problem here. Tried Pixel Experience, Lineage OS, it never works if its not MIUI. Any News?
Android auto arm64 v5.4.502264

Hello, my Galaxy note 8 N950F with android 8 insistently asks me to install version 9 but I understood that my phone registration application will not work anymore and for my work I really got used to use for years.
Is it better to stay in 8 or is it possible to unlock this function in version 9 ?
If I have to stay in 8 how to prevent the update ? He asks me to install it several times a day and it will end up installing it all alone, and at the same time I have the impression that the battery is emptying much faster since there is this update waiting...
Is it possible to root version 9 knowing that I am in France on the Orange network and that I speak bad English (google translation) and I need clear explanation ! I understood that rooter version 9 would allow me to use the recording ...
Thank you
You don't need root .if you keep delaying the update promt up to 9 times then it will auto install.what I did was buy bk package disabler and disabled all updates that stopped my phone keep on promoting me to update to that ****ty one ui rubbish
exactly so
thanks, i found packagedisabler that looks the same and gives me a big list of application to uninstall. What is the name of the application that wants to force me to update android?

Here is a screen short of what I disabled to stop the b.s. pie update promt
Thank you !
I found the equivalent in French and this damn notification has disappeared ...
Do you know where is the file of the update, because there must be some GB blocked because of it.
I would update to Pie especially if you use any mobile banking apps on your device. As it will have all the latest security patches
if you use sbrowser it lost the on screen brightness and volume controls plus video scrubbing (ff & rew) is gone now it stops and skips

Naturally. i just doubt OP cares
I'm receiving pop-up notifications at least once a day from Samsung prompting me to update to Android 12 OneUI 4.0 which can't be disable in the Notification Panel. I have a few questions for user's who've installed the update.
1 Did the update lock your bootloader?
2 Did a Factory Reset enable you to restore to a stable version of Android 11 OneUI 3.1?
3 Did the update cause any number of new bugs?
4 Is there a workaround to disable the Update Notifications?
5 Is anyone's device bug free after updating?
6 After updating have you received any
Update Notifications to install OneUI 4.1?
Needless to say I'm very skeptical of the update since it's causing a wide variety of issues on different devices. Will appreciate any input you may have!
1. If you're rooted, it is safe to assume that your bootloader will be locked as this is an official ROM, it comes with updated bootloader.
2. I believe this is dependent if the current SW version is the same. Otherwise, if it's lower, you won't be able to.
3. Im on May Update G9980. No major bugs as per day to day usage.
4. Not sure.
5. I personally haven't had any bugs.
6. Yes

Thanks for your input, since it's the May update I'm assuming you've updated to 4.1?
