ST – STABLE!!!
Works on Android 5.1!
include: GooglePlayStore, Lenovo Camera ver. 4.1, MaxAudio (not Dolby Atmos)…Unlike some other versions, I've tried, this version quickly charges the battery. GPS works great. Locate fast satellites(when GPS is set on device only). Double tap to wake. slide left or right to unlock, draw "v" or "o" for camera / google/firefox, or other apps you wish, and other features works , they are in Settings->Character settings !!! (not like in Indian version – in features). Mail Exchange Services works great with Email app, Led notification for unread mails works only with pre-installed Email app.
The original Chinese stock ROM for K3 Note (With Google Support).

or read below: 10.Sept.2015 How to install zip's (root, gaps, dolby atmos) – I suggest this way for installing on Lenovo K3 – It always works.
All applications ,drivers and flash you have here (on my links on the top of this page). You can find and some utility USBDeview – it helps in case pc does not recognize your phone. If your PC doesn't recognize your phone(after you connect phone, nothing happens), use USBDeview.exe, and uninstall devices like MTP…, Preloader…. (right click on device, uninstall…) After that, install drivers ,flash tool…You not need rooting, only do steps 1.2.3.4:
1.install USB driver from Drivers.zip -> Install drivers -> flash drivers–auto install -> InstallDriver.exe .AFTER INSTALLING CONNECT YOUR PHONE, WINDOWS WILL SHOW MESSAGE SEARCHING FOR DRIVERS….DRIVER IS INSTALLED. YOU MUST SEE THIS MESSAGE. AFTER, DISCONECT PHONE FROM PC.SHUTDOWN PHONE!
2.unzip AIO_Upgrade_Tools_v5.1436.00.000.zip . In extracted folders you will find flash_tool.exe
3.Unzip K50-T5_USR_ST2511_5.444.1_1503111505-Lang-PK4.zip, In extracted folders you will find file "MT6752_Android_scatter.txt".
4.RUN flash_tool.exe, select scatter file "MT6752_Android_scatter.txt"., click download, and connect your SWITCHED OFF phone. Progress bar (yellow color) will appear, wait until message dialog "Download OK". Disconect phone and that's all. Power on the phone, wait 5-10 min and here is your new firmware.
You have many videos…just search "SP FlashTool K3 NOTE" 
if nothing happens when you connect your phone, run USBDeview.exe, and uninstall devices like MTP…, Preloader…. Restart PC. Run steps 1,2,3,4 again.

NEW: Automatic updates: OTA UPDATE TO GET LATEST STABLE VERSION,
ALSO SUCCESSFUL FIX FOR INVALID IMEI AND "NVRAM WARNING ERR: = 0×10" ! ! (IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS WITH IMEI AND WIFI)
INVALID IMEI: Download file IMEI restore.zip. You can find pictures inside zip – to help you. Do That.
For me – it doesnt work 
. But DO THAT!. After 4 days trying to solve INVALID IMEI, and WIFI error "nvram warning err: = 0×10", finaly I have success! Just download LenovoOTA_v3.5.zip. UnRoute your phone. Install LENOVOOTA FOR OTA UPDATES. Run . Now your phone will use OTA and you will have latest STABLE version of vibeui (Stable – ST, not developer DEV)! Download updates and install them. Finnaly, SOLVED INVALID IMEI – IMEI IS OK, and WIFI ERROR message "nvram warning err: = 0×10" has gone too.. Everything is great ! Now I have STABLE VERSION VIBEUI_V2.8._1535_5.128.1_ST_K50-T5. After update, route phone again and install google play services (becouse they will lost while Automatic update (OTA update)). This gaps works: gapps-5.1-arm64-2015-07-17-15-08_OK.zip. (I tried many gaps, but with no success. This one is OK. Gaps install throught twrp.
PS. After AUTOMATIC OTA UPDATES YOU WILL ONLY HAVE ENGLISH AND CHINESE LANGUAGE, NOT MULTILANGUAGE!

How to install zip's (root, gaps, dolby atmos)
Download "Lenovo K3 NOTE CWM Recovery.zip" . You also need SP FlashTool (in AIO_Upgrade_Tools_v5.1436.00.000).
1. Shut down phone. (remove battery for 3-4 sec and put in phone). Don't power on phone.
2.Run USBDeview.exe and delete all rows wich contain Preloader.
3. Run InstallDriver.exe ( from Drivers.zip -> Install drivers -> flash drivers–auto install -> InstallDriver.exe )
4.Run SP Flash Tool. (unzip AIO_Upgrade_Tools_v5.1436.00.000.zip . In extracted folders you will find flash_tool.exe)
5. In FlashTool select scatter file from Lenovo K3 NOTE CWM Recovery.zip (Unzip first file: Lenovo K3 NOTE CWM Recovery.zip, inside are two files : recovery.img and scatter file)
6. Click on download.
7. Connect your phone to PC (phone is SWITCHED OFF). Progress bar (yellow color) will appear, wait until message dialog "Download OK". Disconect phone and that's all. Power on the phone presssing power, vol+ and vol- until you see new black screen – Select english (another is chinese). Go trought menu with vol+ and vol-. Select install zip from sdcard. Select file "gapps-5.1-arm64-2015-07-17-15-08_OK.zip'. After that, go to restart . Now you will have Google play services. On the same way, you can install many zip's. To root your phone, install zip: "UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip". To install Dolby Atmos , install "DA_R6.5_FIX_RU_UK (DOLBY ATMOS).zip"…..:)
If you install Dolby, turn off " Use NuPlayer (experimental)" , in your Developer options.
You can do every install one by one, without restarting. If you route your phone, you will be able to remove system application on chinese! You have many apps on google play store for removing system apps. Enjoy.
Once you have installed spflashtools and drivers, just run steps 1 , 4, 5..(skip step 2 and 3). But sometimes, your PC does not recognize your phone when you connect to pc. Then, run all steps 1,2,3…..IT ALWAYS WORKS!
Before OTA Updates, remove ROOT, download updates, install them, and, again :run FlashTool and "Lenovo K3 NOTE CWM Recovery.zip"…To root again.
※Please make a backup of your device before installing or updating ROM
@tbmiso, how do you know your proximity sensor is working? Did you run a Sensor app which showed this? If so, which one. Thanks.
I know where the touble-tap setting is in (character settings). It does not work on my phone.
Some of the other "character settings" work and some do not.
"flip screen to turn off" and "wide touch" and "Quick snap" and "One-handed Micro Screen" all of those work OK.
"black screen unlock" does not work – none of them. And "double tap screen on" does not work.
On every rom I have tested, during a call, screen always turns off.
actually "flip screen to turn off" does not work. It worked a few times but 99% of the time it does not work on my phone.
Also, I know the the problem with the proximity sensor is this ROM not my phone because when I tried the Cyenogenmod 12.1 ROM it worked – I tested it with the apps "Sensor Box" and "Sensors".
please help…an error came up while downloading via flash tool…error 5007..
You have not selected right folder! Look my replay on 09/10/2015 @ 9:13 am
will this procedure work on win 10?
I have tested on win7 (64bit), but I think it will work on Win10 with no problems.
its all done….working perfectly….just swiping and removing the notifications from left to right isnt happening at all…is it a bug??
No, it's new feature on the left side of notifications:) Here you can save your events.If you don't like it, go to 'Notification center' and TURN OFF 'Open the instant information page'.
The LenovoOTA.zip we extract it and install the apk as normal or do we flash it through TWRP?
Yes! Normal install
But before installing new versions, unroute your phone (if it is routed). After installation of a new version, if you want, route your phone again.(run FlashTool and "Lenovo K3 NOTE CWM Recovery.zip"…To root again.)
may i know from experience users …
what difference between st / dev / row / roms / ota ?
-rom: just like PC, you can run winXP, 98, …windows7, windows 10 , linux,…. every day something new is added on rom. this rom is dev – development. it can have some bugs. when the version is ok, the stable (ST-STable) version goes on.
OTA is automatic updating of your rom.If you install OTA, when the new version of rom realised – your phone will inform you and, if you click ok, the new rom will be automatic download and install on your phone – nice
thanks tbmiso for your replay
my device is v2.5_1512_5.495.1_ST_K50-T5
what your advice to me
should i install OTA last one which is VIBEUI_V2.8_1538_7.241.1_DEV_K50-T5 in my device ? to slove heating and battery drain issue and fix more bugs ?
OTA will be install by downlad the zip file on SDcard right ?
or install rom with flashtools ?
just install OTA as usual (like other apk files). no flashtools. sd card or main memory, it does not matter – as usual, like every apk.
how can i install this update ? it can't open by file explorer
and the recovery mod is chinees language …
and there isn't system update option
can you help me
First: Unzip It.
First: Unzip LenovoOTA_v3.5.zip. After installing OTA, you will see system update option (and system update application too)!
