When I go to the link the Jide page and files are not for B2016030801, still the first preview from January....my system says I am on it and calendar still not working here!
Sent from my REMIX SK1WG using Tapatalk
if ya are still on Jan update then try do update via setting then update it will lead ya to march package... Calendar is not working for me too cuz Jide did not add calendar storage module into /system folder. also chrome bookmark is dead too.. tried to sign in and nothing sync. i checked my account sync.. its missing for calender and chrome.. oh well its preview.. i wish they should toss an old working ROM in the case we would revert to non preview ROM.
Unable to update properly from RemixOS 2.0 *501 (Ultratablet)
As stated in the title, I am unable to use the updater to update from *501, to anything newer. I've tried letting the device sit for inordinate periods of time to let it finish, but to no avail. It just sits there on the "Remix" screen doing, as far as I can tell, nothing.
Do I need to force an install via adb? Am I understanding correctly that this is supposed to be an OTA update?
build 501 is when? my current build is 5.1.1.-B2016030801. new build is B2016031607 but sadly news cuz the package is bad now.. it cant install since i am getting getting an error during recovery mode...
did ya try to use ROM Installer app and use Jan build that Jide provide on their website on link at OP?

Apologies, I forgot the last 3 digits were 503 (5.1-B2016011503), not 501. In any case, it was the preview release that Jide provided on the website to install onto the UT. Unfortunately, I can find no updates to flash onto the device, and OTA refuses to update properly. If this keeps up, I'm tempted to go with a more standard ROM, and flush RemixOS altogether (assuming I can find a ROM that will work on the tablet). Any help would be very much appreciated
Also, to @RemixOS_Cameron, Is there any chance that you can update the links above to reflect the proper files? Thanks.
Remix OS 2.0
Downloaded from the web site today and went from 1.5 to 2.0. Took quite a while but all went well. 5 minutes later I got an OTA update to 5.1.1-B2016031604 which installed without affecting any of my apps or data.
My tablet arrived in the US after about 5 days. A case I ordered from Remix is now two weeks and just got an email it shipped. Took about 6 emails to get a response, so I guess they shipped and responded to shut me up.
Tablet build is excellent and I've had no issues.

I'm confused, I have had my Remix Ultratablet for about a month now, is this update for me?In your post you mentioned getting your tablet after downloading and upgrading? Should I try to do this or would it be better to wait? Also, my tablet's UI/Desktop looks different from the one Jide displays on their Ultratablet site, does this change it to look that way? Also I've tried to use the the notes sync with WeChat but everything from Jide in WeChat is in Mandarin and it says official account servies unavailable, any ideas? Overall this tablet is just what I needed to do web dev on Android, so I can't really complain. I noticed in the fixes it mentions pinning icons to the desktop, which is annoying, if I delete an app icon from the desktop it deletes the entire app.

This is my first work on Lenovo K910.
This 1st Rom doesn't have as many tweaks as i usually do on my previous works (Sony X10 & Samsung S3).
Check post 2 for major tweaks.
Important
Make sure that you use TWRP for this. I didn't try on any other recovery.
Go here if you don't have it and follow the step-by-step guide.
This rom is for K910 only so if you try to install on any other than K910 version it's your resposability (i.e. K910e, etc)
What to Expect From this?
Based on VIBEUI_V2.0_1437
Deodexed
Clean many apps as possible [check 2nd post if you want something back] - Only 482Mb!!!
Faster
Slightly tweaked build.prop file
English as default
Do not expect Multi Language for two reasons. 1st: VibeUI came out in in short periods. 2nd: Don't have time and/or patience.
To Do List
Make system faster
Change Kernel to support init files
OTA Updates
Super tweaked build.prop file
????
Step-by-Step Install procedure
Do a backup
On TWRP Wipe > Factory Reset
Through TWRP install VIBEUI_V2.0_1437_deodexed.zip
Wipe Cache & Dalvik Cache
Reboot
At this moment you have a very clean and stable rom. Now check 2nd post to build our own personal rom. Enjoy :good:
Mirrors
Android File Host
Bugs
When you finish the install procedure, you'll find some files related to system apps left behind on your launcher. You could delete them by long press
Due many system apps have been deleted and mostly KK had some bugs (i.e. check here) Play Google may cause you a bit a work.

More than 400 dw and nothing?!
This k910 community is asleep or something?!
Does this ROM support Google Voice direct dialing?
Thanks much for your work. I would like to give this a try. Before doing so, I have a quick question - does it support Google Voice direct dialing? I mean, after installing the Google Voice app and choose the option "Use Google Voice to make all calls," will a call then be dialed out using Google Voice?
I ask this question because Lenovo must have done something to break this desired behavior. What happens on the Lenovo official ROM is: an error message of "call not sent" is displayed, and the native dialer keeps dialing out, so the receiving party will see the phone number associated with the SIM card, but not the Google Voice number.

I'm sure that issue still remain in this version since i didn't change anything related with that.
That's s.th i don't use so...
If you try this rom and if that bug is present please report on "bug report" and i'll look into that in the next version
So does this ROM come with google services and root or do I need to install those after flashing the ROM?
This one is w/o both but tomorrow will be available a new version

This is the fastest and longest battery life for my K910.
My current config which is very stable is...
i install this version plus lenovo theme center from AROMA (need it for disable annoying bubble lockscreen)
i use Titanium backup to uninstall LeNote and Lenovo calendar.
i apply GPS patch from Tedulus.
i tried 2.5.1 but i believe that DPI config drain battery and i prefer to have stock font than custom font from author.

Latest & Greatest, Multilang Dev MIUI v7 ROM - v5.10.16 by Xiaomi.eu [With GApps!]
Edited October 16th: New ROM is out today.... http://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/5-10-15-16.28809/
For those wondering what the difference between ROM options for XRN2 (Hermes):
Chinese Developer: Only Chinese and English, no PlayStore, Official, Chinese Servers Download
Global Developer: Multilanguage, PlayStore, Official, only for some devices, Chinese Servers Download
Xiaomi.eu: Multilanguage, PlayStore, Based on Official ROM, European Servers Download (but also American)
Edited October 9: New Rom v5.10.8 is out: http://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/5-10-8.28692/
I have also just discovered that since Sept 20th, some cool software called WinDroid Universal Android Toolkit v2.5 now supports the Redmi Note 2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2499926
WinDroid Universal Android Toolkit takes many ADB and Fastboot commands and puts them into an easy to use toolkit that supports a ton of Android devices. It's goal is to simplify the process of unlocking a device's bootloader, flashing a custom recovery and gaining root for the newbies of the Android world.
This should make it easier for those not so familiar with Android!
Edited 25th Sept: The latest weekly just dropped v5.9.24 which you can get from here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347822062
ROM thread: http://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/5-9-24.28459/
For the new contestants to the show, this is the best ROM available for this device because it has no Chinese language at all, no bloatware apps and should have Google Apps baked in.
It is a chinese holiday for the whole first week of October so there won't be another ROM for a couple of weeks.
My updater app doesn't show any new versions, because it is unofficial I guess and doesn't work with the updater app.
I am still on v5.9.9 so I guess I will be wiping cache and dalvik cache and trying to do a "dirty flash" and crossing my fingers that it doesn't wipe my data.
Edited 19th Sept: There is now a new version v5.9.18 available here, thanks to the xiaomi.eu forum: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347818342
This fixes a critical bug in v5.9.17. However, one user on the xiaomi.eu forum has reported a wifi issue with v5.9.18, however this version is so new, and one user is not a big sample size.
http://xiaomi.eu/community/forums/miui-weekly-rom-releases.103/
However, I am not 100% sure that this isn't just the China DEV ROM. I am also unsure if this one has Google Apps baked in or you have to add it afterwards via TWRP.
I am still running 5.9.9 which is working great 99% of the time for me, however and I have a bug in which many programs that stream live video, after the video starts, 20 seconds into the steam the audio stops but the video keeps going. Can someone who installs the latest v5.9.18 please test and see if they have a problem with Livestation app, Al-Jazeera app, or NHK world app. Thanks!
This is the changelog for v5.9.17 which is the latest I could find. It is for the China ROM not multilanguage but I assume the bug fixes are the same.

OK Boys and girls, if you have this device, have TWRP installed, then backup all your data and install this new ROM, it is awesome.
When I first got my device, it was chinese keyboard, no Google Apps and even after updating to MIUI v7, I still had issues with contacts not syncing.
I downloaded and installed this ROM which just came out today or yesterday: (I uploaded the file, hosted in my google drive as it disappeared from Android File Host): http://gdurl.com/Ww2J/download
I went into TWRP, wiped data, cache and dalvik cache to start from scratch.
After rebooting, I find this multi-language ROM is great, no chinese keyboard and it asked me for my google account details. The contact that would not sync to my phone is in there straight away.
Under settings -> Accounts -> All -> Google -> Contacts is slow to sync and most of the time just says "syncing now" but I did see it also say it was successful, "last sync 9/10/2015"
There is no Chinese bloatware at all, no chinese ANYWHERE which is good because on the China Dev ROM from last week, the Theme store was all chinese. Now my theme store is in English
Because I am signed up to a Mi Account, it actually restored an SMS I had just sent before I wiped my device, also very nice. Unfortunately still no easy backup for Whatsapp and Viber I assume.
Incidentally, even with an X10 processor and wifi, telling your phone to install 76 apps at the same time still takes a while.....
Again, incidentally, it tells you when you install Aptoide that it contains a virus and even gives it a name, something.expense.aptoide which is probably the payment gateway but anyway, in the older China Dev ROM, this didn't happen, and but it would see Aptoide as a security threat when you did a manual scan of your device, with a "fix" button that doesn't actually tell you what it is fixing so I had to install Aptoide again after I pressed it. Anyway, now I actually like this feature, I mean besides Aptoide, if I install something that might have a virus, MIUI will warn me before I even install it, nice.
Has it improved battery life at all?
What makes you think I can tell if battery life has improved on a ROM I installed 15 minutes ago?
Thanks for this , could you please post a link to the TWRP you used ( and if possible instructions to install it ) ? I'm sure this can be found online but I'd rather have one that worked and which I know is in English.

Sup guys,
So if I understand it correctly the stable version for Redmi Note 2 is MIUI 6.7.5. and if you're prepared to go a bit more beta MIUI 7.9.10/11 is also an option, right?
If I would install the multi-version from Xiaomi.eu (7.9.10) would I be able to install updates from the ROM itself, like OTA? Or do I need do manually download and use recovery every time?

The correct stable version is MIUI 6, which came on the device. The beta is MIUI 7, chinese edition, on the official site. The version number for these start with v5.x.x
This thread is regards to the un-official multi-language ROMs which are floating around now. This one is v5.9.9. There is a v5.9.11 around, however the changelog just says something about supporting a tiny change to xiaomi headphones.
I just used updater to check and it said no new updates, it just says I am running v5.9.9, and that it is a weekly development cycle. I think since the updater fully recognizes this is a MIUI ROM, the OTA would work, however I am fearful the OTA might switch it back to Chinese, so I intend to stay on this ROM until they release an official Multi-language version. I don't know if TWRP did anything to prevent OTA, however I made sure that I didn't modify the setting when TWRP was telling me that it could affect OTA updates if i enable a certain setting.
It is confusing because the file name is telling you it is running ON Android 5.0, using v7 of MIUI, and the codename of the device is Hermes, and the ROM version is 5.9.9
....
I'm going to flash this beta ROM because I want to have MIUI V7 so my question is whether this beta ROM is stable enough since the phone is going to be a present and I don't want it crashing all over the place.
Thanks.

I have the Xiaomi.eu version (which has the updated weather app I've been waiting for, so it's based off this release) with Xmister's CPU handling app and there were no surprises with this update, battery-wise or performance.
Through OTA i got 940MB update for this 6.1.8. It is not incremental update size, more like full rom size. How about you guys? I still didn't update it yet.

If you have the xiaomi.eu rom it's normal. Xiaomi.eu release only full roms as OTA updates, even if nothing has changed

Beta ROM does get full ROM update. Incremental updates are available with Stable ROM only as of now.

Can you please tell which Stable version are you using and what is your Screen on Time and with what kind of usage. I was only getting 2 hours of Screen on time with MIUI7 7.0.12.0, so I installed Custom ROM Angel's and Demons and it gives me nearly 4-5 hours SOT.

Beta ROMs have root access.
Global Roms don't have root access because they contain google services..

I had the same problem after installing magisk on beta 1. the phone began restarting itself until it couldnt boot to desktop. i searched then but nobody was reporting the same issue so i gave up and reinstalled pie.
no issues here, i had to flash both booth partitions manually. been running beautiful
I figured out the problem. İf you use system in English everything perfect. For me changing system language to Turkish starts Bootloop when restarting.
