Please check THIS thread for new versions!!!
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

Please keep on update clean 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.
New version available today

Hello , to all.
I am an owner of Samsung Glaaxy S4 GT- I 9505 with Android 4.4.2 and Kernel 3.4.0-3423977. It's the official latest update here in Europe.
But Samsung has a lot of programms inside that i don't need and they run on the background.
I am using most for typing , viber, sms, calls, camera (A lot), and inserting files from computer to computer via the phone, and 1-2 games to pass my time,but inside has a lot of programms.
Which is a good room stable,without any problems and really light without all this unnecessary programs ?
I am waiting for suggestions.
I'm a big fan of CyanogenMod. Works great for me! It is fast, reliable, up-to-date. If you haven't already, give it a try....

Bloatware[edit]
The term "bloatware" may be applied to software that has become bloated through inefficiency or accretion of features as outlined above.[2] Confusingly, the same term bloatware is also commonly used to refer to preinstalled software on a device, usually included by the hardware manufacturer, that is mostly unwanted by the purchaser. This may account for up to 45% of pre-installed software on a new device.[4]
The term may also be applied to the accumulation of unwanted and unused software elements that remain after partial and incomplete uninstallation. These elements may include whole programs, libraries, associated configuration information or data. The impact over time may be resultant deterioration of performance as the unwanted software or software components occupy memory, waste processing time, add disk I/O, consume storage and cause delays at system startup and shutdown. In the worst cases, the leftover software may interfere with the correct operation of wanted software.[5]

So in conclusion you can say that bloatware is the "apps" that most companies use during the release of their phones and they are stock .Correct ?

I have already done it but as i said the download links in the section of IGNF100% is not working.
Hi,
if you want a clean and stable ROM, you definetely should take a look at this GPE:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2557353
Almost pure Android Experience, just with a few very useful tweaks, and amazing battery life! I'm using this ROM since a few days now and I'm fascinated, it's like I'd bought a completely new phone! Even better than Cyanogenmod in my opinion, because I've had a few bugs on CM12 (bad battery life, very bad microphone quality etc.). Camera is working fine, too.

Ι will try out later on.But i don't want 5.0 version because i have found some stuff that are not welcome to me.
I have already tried:
*Cyanogen
*Google Play 5.0
*(Few Minutes ago i installed the 4.4.4 Official Google)
And next is yours and after the Omega,and after the Albe95.
I will find the best one out.

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.

10th September - v5.9.9
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.
@mforce2
for TWRP & root looking here: [read the thread!] http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-2/general/root-t3193166
P.s. latest ROM is 5.9.10, but small changes (no need to flash) xiaomi.eu_multi_hermes_5.9.10_v7-5.0 (changelog)
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347812303
Is there anywhere to download TWRP and the stock recovery other than en.miui.com? I don't have a Mi Account yet and I don't want to create one at the moment.
Can we dirty flash over 5.9.2 global?

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.
For people who lost sim and wifi aftar updating to 5.1.1
all you have to do is installing this rom via odin then install the 5.1.1 and everything will work just fine

South Africa version KitKat.
It looks like it's the modem that affects the Wifi.
BTW, I flashed the India version.
I also debloated, removed close to 100 sammie rubbish. Rom is quick and smooth.

Okay.
Firstly, I give you a copy of a post by a great Dev @xXx who created a tool called Barebone Cleaner.
I downloaded zip and placed in SD card.
Went into recovery and install zip which takes you to an Aroma installation.
Be careful. Do not go for Barebone cleaning.
You have lots of choices, just read so that you don't delete important applications.
As always, make a Nandroid backup before and I would suggest that you install Nova because touchwizz is deleted.
Let me know how it goes.
I have copied the Devs post which was posted on S5 thread.
Ps, I own S5 and my wife has S5 mini.
Download latest 5.96a version.
URWsoft BareBone Cleaner
Features & Benefits
* Free Rom choice: Choose any Samsung Touchwiz Lollipop Rom and cleans it down to a core level. This way you can choose a Rom which fits your personal liking and requirements and clean it down to your comfort level.
* Reduced to the Max: Reduce Rom A full blown Samsung Rom comes with about 300 apps which can be brought down to about 75 core apps
* Faster Rom: After a full clean you will have about 1.1 GB free RAM available which is about 300-400 MB more compared to a full blown Samsung Rom. This increase the performance.
* Individual Cleaning Definitions: The BareBone Cleaner provides you with plenty of options to customize the cleaning process and make sure you prevent apps you want to keep from cleaning.
* Compatible: Several user feedbacks confirm that the BareBone Cleaner works with odexed and deodexed as well as Samsung based Lollipop and KitKat roms on all kind of S5 variants.
* Saved Profiles:
鈥�* Ones you have defined your individual profile it will be saved as an editable text file on your SDcard (URWsoft folder) and next time you flash a Rom you can run this profile with the exact same settings with no additional effort.
* You will have predefined profiles for one click cleaning available. One save Default Profile and an Extrem BareBone Cleaning Profile.
* You can reset your profile to default setting anytime and start to define a new profile.
* You have a Bypass option available which will keep you defined profile and just present you with a complete unselected profile. This will help you to just select one or more apps for addition cleaning or select one of the Install options
鈥�Multi Window Operation: On the first customization window you can select which further menus you want to enable. Only these windows will be presented.
鈥�Alternative Apps and Tweaks: You might want to get rid of the S5 stock keyboard, or the TouchWiz Launcher. As an alternative you can select the S6 keyboard or Nova Launcher etc. from the Install Apps menu and be able to remove the stock apps without being left with an unusable rom.
鈥�Rom Specifics Menu: Most of the rom chefs implement different kind of apps to their roms which are additional to the Samsung standard Rom content. In order to give you the opportunity to get rid of specific unwanted apps which I started this new section. This will grow on the go and you tell me what you would like to see here as additional cleaning options.
鈥�Users Selection Menu: Some users requested me to clean even more content which I either didn’t test sufficiently yet or might remove rom functionality which is required for a seamless rom operation. These requests can be found in the Users Menu. If you tested these selections please let us know your experience is with it. If everything works fine for daily use these cleanings could be easily shifted into the standard cleaning options.
鈥�Additional Features: The BareBone Cleaner will further grow on the go and you tell me what you would like to see here as additional cleaning options. The profiles will help already to combine a feature rich utility with ease of use and fast track profile executions.
URWsoft BareBone Cleaner Project
I’m not a developer but I’m flashing ROMs since quite some years and today I’m experienced enough for this project.
The BareBone Cleaner is an Aroma Installer based tool which will debloat your TouchWiz Lollipop rom up to a core minimum in order to increase available ram and get rid of performance wasting apps and services which are not mandatory.
So get rid of all the Samsung crap, bloatware, the annoying “check cover” warning or other apps which you could easily add again to your personal liking from the Google Playstore.
I’m sure many of you was looking for this kind of solution in order to choose any rom fitting your personal liking.
Background of this Project
The original kick-off for this project was a longer temporary absence of Edgarf28 who provides us with his awesome XtreStoLite rom. I used his rom since the very first day on my S5 and even I tried tons of other roms, for some reasons I always returned to XtreStoLite.
Therefore I started to develop the BareBone Cleaner to be able to choose any TouchWiz Lollipop rom and clean it down to the same level as Edgar is doing with his rom. Short after I decided to share my BareBone Cleaner in this thread Edgar returned and provided an updated rom version.
As I enjoy this project and got several motivating feedbacks from users who would like to clean the rom of their choice, I decided to continue the development of my BareBone Cleaner and bring it to the next level by porting the cleaner logic to a user friendly Aroma Installer. Now users can individually choose what they would like to clean and I will step by step add more options now.
The most important factors for me, beside the combination of performance and battery life is the fact the I’m able to run the original TouchWiz rom but maximum debloated to a core minimum in order to increase available ram and get rid of performance wasting apps and services which are not mandatory.
So what happens if you use my script?
The script deletes all kind of apps from your installed rom based on your selections down to a core level what is required for a stable operation. From that level you can add any desired app from the Google Playstore to satisfy your personal requirements and style.
Important notes
The BareBone Cleaner is designed to clean TouchWiz Lollipop 5.0.x roms running on the S5 G900F which are either odexed or deodexed.
Currently I’m not planning to support other rom types. I’m happy to get your feedback if you tried it successfully on other roms as well so other users can benefit from that information as well.
Best use is running the BareBone Cleaner from recovery right after flashing a new rom but you can also make use of it if you want to clean your existing installation. In this case you might experience that apps like Google maps, Youtube etc. will be gone. In this case just load them again from Google Playstore.
! Flash this Script at your own Risk !
!! - I don't take any responsibility for any Damage - !!
Create a Nandroid-Backup before flashing the script!

I hope everybody else enjoys this tool as I do.

I answered the PM and provided permission.
Regarding Android RAM management there are plenty of knowledge articles available explaining about that.
Essentially, after loading the OS, services etc. into RAM, Android will load as many apps into RAM as possible until a certain threshold. This way these apps are starting much faster when required. So if you remove bloatware which used RAM before the cleaning the free RAM is used now for other apps which are most probably the ones you frequently use. This way for you as a user everything is more responsive and faster after cleaning.
So as you know our S5 mini isnt loved by devs and no custom roms are available for it
so how about we mod the stock rom by our selfs !!!
@xXx made a script for his Galaxy S5 that will clean your rom the way you like it and fortunately its working on the S5 mini as well
so i will copy his thread nothing more i asked him to do so and he said its ok
so lets get started
URWsoft BareBone Cleaner

This way you can choose a Rom which fits your personal liking and requirements and clean it down to your comfort level.Reduced to the Max:*Reduce Rom A full blown Samsung Rom comes with about 300 apps which can be brought down to about 75 core appsFaster Rom:*After a full clean you will have about 1.1 GB free RAM available which is about 300-400 MB more compared to a full blown Samsung Rom. This increase the performance.Individual Cleaning Definitions:*The BareBone Cleaner provides you with plenty of options to customize the cleaning process and make sure you prevent apps you want to keep from cleaning.Compatible:*Several user feedbacks confirm that the BareBone Cleaner works with odexed and deodexed as well as Samsung based Lollipop and KitKat roms on all kind of S5 variants.Saved Profilesnes you have defined your individual profile it will be saved as an editable text file on your SDcard (URWsoft folder) and next time you flash a Rom you can run this profile with the exact same settings with no additional effort.You will have predefined profiles for one click cleaning available. One save Default Profile and an Extrem BareBone Cleaning Profile.You can reset your profile to default setting anytime and start to define a new profile.You have a Bypass option available which will keep you defined profile and just present you with a complete unselected profile. This will help you to just select one or more apps for addition cleaning or select one of the Install optionsMulti Window Operation:*On the first customization window you can select which further menus you want to enable. Only these windows will be presented.Alternative Apps and Tweaks:*You might want to get rid of the S5 stock keyboard, or the TouchWiz Launcher. As an alternative you can select the S6 keyboard or Nova Launcher etc. from the Install Apps menu and be able to remove the stock apps without being left with an unusable rom.Rom Specifics Menu:*Most of the rom chefs implement different kind of apps to their roms which are additional to the Samsung standard Rom content. In order to give you the opportunity to get rid of specific unwanted apps which I started this new section. This will grow on the go and you tell me what you would like to see here as additional cleaning options.Users Selection Menu:*Some users requested me to clean even more content which I either didn’t test sufficiently yet or might remove rom functionality which is required for a seamless rom operation. These requests can be found in the Users Menu. If you tested these selections please let us know your experience is with it. If everything works fine for daily use these cleanings could be easily shifted into the standard cleaning options.Additional Features:*The BareBone Cleaner will further grow on the go and you tell me what you would like to see here as additional cleaning options. The profiles will help already to combine a feature rich utility with ease of use and fast track profile executions.
URWsoft BareBone Cleaner Project
I’m not a developer but I’m flashing ROMs since quite some years and today I’m experienced enough for this project.
The BareBone Cleaner is an Aroma Installer based tool which will debloat your TouchWiz Lollipop rom up to a core minimum in order to increase available ram and get rid of performance wasting apps and services which are not mandatory.
So get rid of all the Samsung crap, bloatware, the annoying “check cover” warning or other apps which you could easily add again to your personal liking from the Google Playstore.
I’m sure many of you was looking for this kind of solution in order to choose any rom fitting your personal liking.
Background of this Project
The original kick-off for this project was a longer temporary absence of*Edgarf28*who provides us with his awesome*XtreStoLite*rom. I used his rom since the very first day on my S5 and even I tried tons of other roms, for some reasons I always returned to XtreStoLite.
Therefore I started to develop the BareBone Cleaner to be able to choose any TouchWiz Lollipop rom and clean it down to the same level as Edgar is doing with his rom. Short after I decided to share my BareBone Cleaner in this thread Edgar returned and provided an updated rom version.
As I enjoy this project and got several motivating feedbacks from users who would like to clean the rom of their choice, I decided to continue the development of my BareBone Cleaner and bring it to the next level by porting the cleaner logic to a user friendly Aroma Installer. Now users can individually choose what they would like to clean and I will step by step add more options now.
The most important factors for me, beside the combination of performance and battery life is the fact the I’m able to run the original TouchWiz rom but maximum debloated to a core minimum in order to increase available ram and get rid of performance wasting apps and services which are not mandatory.
So what happens if you use my script?
The script deletes all kind of apps from your installed rom based on your selections down to a core level what is required for a stable operation. From that level you can add any desired app from the Google Playstore to satisfy your personal requirements and style.
Important notes
The BareBone Cleaner is designed to clean TouchWiz Lollipop 5.0.x roms running on the S5 G900F which are either odexed or deodexed.
Currently I’m not planning to support other rom types. I’m happy to get your feedback if you tried it successfully on other roms as well so other users can benefit from that information as well.
Best use is running the BareBone Cleaner from recovery right after flashing a new rom but you can also make use of it if you want to clean your existing installation. In this case you might experience that apps like Google maps, Youtube etc. will be gone. In this case just load them again from Google Playstore.*
! Flash this Script at your own Risk !

yup i used it on my s5 mini and ive removed 83 Samsung system apps
the device is very fast now and smooth
as for installation download the ZIP and flash it via recovery
it will open a window with an aroma installer
follow the instructions that will show
and just in case make a backup for your current rom so you can restore it if you removed something you need
So I can flash any S5 ROM on my S5 Mini (g800f) ? And then I have to flash this Mod, and ROM should work, right ?

Can you post a comment in his thread of twrp with the problem so he will see it just in case he didnt noticed your message
I think the problem is related to hardware overlays and not handled correctly for this build. There is a workaround in the r4 build of the same TWRP source rev. for the Moto X Play. Aroma hangs when the zip has loaded and the splash screen should be displayed on top of the TWRP interface. It just hangs and all you can do is reboot. Just run this installer from the latest TWRP. It won't change anything until after you have made all these choices. So it should be safe to try.
