[Galaxy Tab S General] Armpowered:
Just to add some feedback (SM-T700), apart from the issues/not yet working already mentioned, I've noticed a few problems.

1 Screen brightness can't be lowered as much as the stock Samsung (so too bright in dark room).

2 Battery life under load (*) isn't great, I've been letting "Beach Buggy Blitz" run in demo mode to test battery life when playing games (initially to compare with my LG G Pad 8.3 - over 5 hours of continuous play). With stock Samsung a little over 4 hours use but with build 5 CM 11 about 2.5 hours. I'm assuming it's a throttling thing as the tablet also gets much warmer (quite hot) - and the game feels/looks smoother.

* Battery life in sleep seems very good though, still 100% after 2.5 hours, haven't tried leaving it longer.

3 When rebooting I'm losing wifi passwords, no idea why or if it's the ROM causing this.

Anyway, apart from the above, CM 11 feels so much smoother/snappier in general use than the stock rom and I much prefer the feel of (near) stock Android - I can't cope with Samsung tabbed settings area - where is battery, sounds like device, oh no it's...somewhere else and things like the ability to set system-wide dpi which would crash the stock Samsung.

Oh, for anyone else considering this, I successfully installed using TWRP 2.7.1.1 (although had it freeze/reboot once before properly installing) and have done backups of stock Samsung and CM11 and able to restore to switch between them.

PS, forgot to say, thanks eousphoros for all of your effort on this, hopefully you'll be able to get it to an official release.

Latest build is smooth. Wondering how to get playstore working as installing manually through CWM a gapp.zip did not work so good. Google play kept crashing and would not work.
[Galaxy Tab S General] diegosolor:
Cyanogen's gapps are ok for me:

My only issue is that sometimes appear the mensage "google play services closes unexpected"....a little annoying, but everything keep working fine

Thanks again eousphoros!
[Galaxy Tab S General] win81-64:
Tried the top version of gapps for CM11 from the same link you posted but google play crashed for me.

Why you no buy tab s 10.5 :(
[Galaxy Tab S General] suzook:
He's working on it. I'm sure once he has it working good on the 8.4, he will get it going for the 10.5. If not, I'm sure with his permission, someone will port it over for us.
[Galaxy Tab S General] eousphoros:
Anyone is welcome to contribute. The more the marrier. Sorry about not getting the 10.5 build last night. I was attempting to migrate the gralloc code to the kitkat code base instead of the jelly bean. Unfortunately in the process I broke my build environment. Once I get a good build on the 8.4 Ill kick off the 10.5.

As for why I didn't get the 10.5, it all comes down to money.
[Galaxy Tab S General] suzook:
No apologies needed. While im dying for a build with WiFi, I know you are very busy getting the 8.4 done. I'm sure you will give us 10.5ers something in the future. I wish I had some skills to make a build, but its way over my head. Thanks for everything, and I will be impatiently waiting... Lol.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Armpowered:
Having said that, I've noticed a problem with the restored Samsung install, Flipboard won't download images, I've tried uninstall/reinstall but it still won't do it. Doing a factory reset then reinstall Flipboard does get it working again, it might be a permissions issue or totally unrelated, anybody any ideas?
[Galaxy Tab S General] eousphoros:
Moar good news. I have bluetooth up and running. Jamming out to some google music in stereo now. Uploading release 6. There might be some regressions in this build though. There was quite a bit of code turmoil between release 5 and release 6.
[Galaxy Tab S General] win81-64:
This rom is coming on well. One thing I noticed when using release 5 was I could not access any folders or transfer files using the usb cable and windows. Is that fixed in release 6? Also wondering if you have playstore working automatically without having to manually install it. Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab S General] suzook:
Wow...that's awesome. I happy, but very jealous.. I need me some cm..lol. Keep up the great work. Your really are doing an amazing job. BTW, this might sound like a stupid question...what would happen if I flash the 8.4 on my 10.5??? Am I crazy thinking about doing this.
[Galaxy Tab S General] eousphoros:
If you change out the boot.img it MIGHT work. Unfortunately the kernel for the 8.4 wont boot on the 10.
[Galaxy Tab S General] suzook:
So take the boot.IMG from your release for 10.5 and replace it with that? The WiFi and other issues are ROM related? Or kernel related?
[Galaxy Tab S General] Armpowered:
It's something to do with (Flipboard) having its cache on the micro SD card, making it use internal memory brings images back. Trying a different, formatted in tablet, card still prevents image download, something in the backup/restore process or running CM I presume is changing how the SD card is seen, anyone know of a fix? Oddly Flipboard does/can create the cache directory but then fails to put any files in there?
[Galaxy Tab S General] eousphoros:
They look rom related. Give it a shot and let me know how it works. You know how to recover a soft brick right?
[Galaxy Tab S General] suzook:
NO good. Wifi still broke!!!! UGHHHH But blutooth and sound are fine...WTF??????
[Galaxy Tab S General] eousphoros:
Progress!

Hrmm could you send me another dmesg/logcat after boot.
[Galaxy Tab S General] jo139:
I think your code is a good start to port cm for my Galaxy tab pro 10.1 (sm-t520). Is the code on hithub the latest ?

I want tot try it because i bate the touchwiz stuff.
[Galaxy Tab S General] eousphoros:
Everything but the vendor stuff. That directory is a mess. Need to move a lot of it into the device repo.
[Galaxy Tab S General] suzook:
Well the logcat is never ending!!!! It wont stop
[Galaxy Tab S General] eousphoros:
I am really just interested in logcat | grep -i "wifi\|wpa" and probably after 5 minutes it will have captured any of the relevant bits.
[Galaxy Tab S General] jo139:
Thanks, I will look in a couple of days.
[Galaxy Tab S General] suzook:
Im running a windows machine. i think im a bit over my head.Im so pissed right now. The ONLY thing i really want working is the damn wifi! GRRRR
[Galaxy Tab S General] jeffreycentex:
You run that from the phone in a terminal or adb shell session...
[Galaxy Tab S General] eousphoros:
I'm sorry. But more to the point. If you have the adb tools installed

adb shell

su

logcat | grep "wifi\|wpa" > /sdcard/logcat.out # Press ctrl + c after 2 minutes

dmesg > /sdcard/dmesg.out

exit

adb pull
[Galaxy Tab S General] eousphoros:

[Galaxy Tab S General] Enddo:
and from all of them, we say thank you for all the hard work you have put into this port :highfive:
[Galaxy Tab S General] Laykun:
I have the 10.5 so I can definitely test for you. I'm also a full time software developer so I may be able to help maintain the 10.5 project. I've just never done any rom programming before.

I work a lot with Linux though so I'm intimately familiar with it.
[Galaxy Tab S General] sku||:
omg , god sent you here :good:
[Galaxy Tab S General] suzook:
I give up. I guess the SD card is not mounting as I get a directory not found. We need someone with more knowledge than me to figure things out. I hope you don't give up on us 10.5 users. Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab S General] xda0996:
Firstly a massive thanks to eousphoros for all his work, i signed up here for this alone! CM might just save this tablet for me.

After reading this I took your current 8.4 rom, changed over the boot.img from the 10.5 version as suggested and modified the updater-script and it installs and boots okay.

Working: Bluetooth, Screen rotation/brightness, sound

Not Working: SD Internal/external mount and Wifi

Thought that might be useful info for you when you get around to another 10.5 build

If your looking for someone to test or try any modifications i'm more than happy to help - I'm pretty comfortable with patching files/bricking the device etc

also i recall someone asking if it will flash with TWRP, the short answer is yes it works but im not sure if it could cause any other issues.
[Galaxy Tab S General] suzook:
I did the same....I'm thinking the broken WiFi could be kernel related.
[Galaxy Tab S General] xda0996:
I got around this by writing the files to a different path, dmesg works fine but the logcat file is always empty. I tried afew times and also tried just outputting the command to the screen and there's nothing showing. (Logcat does work fine without the wifi parameters)
[Galaxy Tab S General] eousphoros:
Its too bad the t700 kernel won't boot on the t800. I wonder what the difference is. Thank you guys for trying that out. If someone can hook me up with the stock kernel I can try doing a build using that instead of the one from the open source.
[Galaxy Tab S General] suzook:
I will be pm'ing you in a few with a link to the factory boot.img

---------- Post added at 12:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:48 AM ----------

Pm sent with link to boot.img
[Galaxy Tab S General] acasserole:
Hope you haven't slowed it down :P was wondering if there was anyway to do a test to show the speed increase from TW to CM?
[Galaxy Tab S General] eousphoros:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.futuremark.dmandroid.application&hl=en

I've been meaning to give this a try. I have spent some time working on the graphics pipeline for this port. Don't have any data to back it up yet but it definitely seems faster.
[Galaxy Tab S General] mitchellvii:
Well, Antutu benchmark on the Tab S should run around 33,500 to 34,500 running TW if that helps as a base. Shaheer's new 10.5 rom turned in a 35,300. Since yours has a custom kernel and is CM my guess is it should beat those numbers handily.

I'll also run a 3DMark on my T800 and let you know.

...

Ok, ran 3DMark under Shaheer's TW rom and turned in a 13,816 on Ice Storm Unlimited on first pass. The Note Pro 12.2 turned in a 13,500. That should be a decent basis for comparison.
[Galaxy Tab S General] win81-64:
Your rom is very smooth and fast but when I tested it in Antutu benchmark it scored approx 30000 compared to 36000 on the stock. I was surprised that it did not score higher on that benchmark as everything felt smoother/faster. Might be different on other tests though. One other thing I noticed was hardware acceleration for 4k video files was working on one video while on stock it reverted to software mode. Other 4k files also worked in hardware mode but stuttered but that one video was smooth. Stock is always stuttering in 4k video as it reverts to software mode for all 4k video files.
[Galaxy Tab S General] eousphoros:
Release 6 has been uploaded for the t800. Give it a go
[Galaxy Tab S General] eousphoros:
I'll load this up soon. It might just be the device is getting hot enough it needs to throttle the cpu/gpu.
[Galaxy Tab S General] win81-64:
Funny enough it felt like the device was not as hot when running the benchmark compared to stock rom's.
[Galaxy Tab S General] mitchellvii:
Awesome! Did we determine this could be safely flashed using TWRP?
[Galaxy Tab S General] eousphoros:
Sorry I am a CWM fan boy. TWRP is unsupported from me.
[Galaxy Tab S General] eousphoros:
After release 7 I'll spend some time digging into that benchmark. Thank you for the heads up.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stanza70:
Hello, I have an old samsung galaxy s gt-i9000 and the power button is broken. Now the phone is switched on and in charge, but if it goes off I can not turn it on without power button

There are two applications that automatically turn on the phone when you connect the charging cable:

NoMoarPowah (Chainfire)

Autoboot - Boot on charge

This app only works with the stock samsung rom but I have CyanogenMod 11.

The solution is to change the command of the battery animation (image of the battery that appears when the phone is off and charging) in system / bin with a command of boot.

someone can give me a step by step guide to solve the problem.

I'm sorry for my english.

Thank you

Gianluca

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] kyleliamharris:
I'm sorry if this has been asked before, and if so i haven't been able to find it. This may seem like a stupid question, but I'm still pretty new to unlocking and rooting, ect. Now my question is, since the Sprint Galaxy S5 already has gsm network capabilities, why wouldn't it be possible to just download a different radio, and install that to unlock it for domestic gsm networks? I am asking because i have a Sprint S5 that i would like to use with T-mobile.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] fffft:
It might be that way if such an universal radio existed. But it doesn't. So moot point.

Interestingly, the S5 hardware is almost certainly capable of operating on all GSM and LTE bands. But artificial firmware limitations restrict your handset to only the frequencies that Sprint uses, plus a bare minimum of the most popular roaming bands.

Moreover, the Sprint version of the S5 is arguably the most restrictive variant. It simply isn't going to work on most TMB bands. You might find a NV hack to add a single AWS band. But in practical terms it won't work well on TMB.

Samsung and carriers structure it this way deliberately to discourge you from changing carriers. And to make it more likely that you need to buy a new phone if you do.

.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] kyleliamharris:
Ok, I was really mainly just curious, like I said I am new to this kind of thing, thanks for your response. I guess I will just wait to see if someone manages to domestically unlock it and post it, and then Ill give it a shot and see how well it works. I mainly use wifi at home for anything with the internet and downloads, I just need to get it to work for calls and texts.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ecs87:
It used to be that easy. Things have become quite more difficult with secured bootloaders and verification checks. I think a lot of the international unlock voodoo lies in the NV items for Sprint devices. Unlocking it domestically can be done almost the exact same way as the L720 HOWEVER you will ONLY be domestically unlocked AFTER you internationally unlock it. If you domestic unlock first you'll have wasted your time.

Hi all,

My Universal (XDA Exec) power connector is on its way out.. started off with intermittently not being able to charge/sync, tried waggling the cable around worked for a while, but now it's to no avail.. :(

Typically it's happened exactly 1 month after the 1 year warranty has run out.

So, can anyone recommend a repair shop in the UK to fix said problem ?

many thanks!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] xiasma:
Don't be fobbed off that you only have a 1 year warranty. By UK and EU law, you have at least 2 years and under English law you have a warranty for as long as one should expect such an item to last. Indeed, the law is balanced in the consumer's favour for the first SIX years where the onus is to prove it *wasn't* a fault in the unit. After that, you have to prove it was.

Take a look at open.gov.uk and read up on the Sales of Goods Act.

From a letter I recently wrote to a vendor refusing to honour my statutory rights:

Not only that, if you bought it mail order, you shouldn't even be out of pocket for the return of the faulty goods. From the Sale of Goods Act:

"the business is not entitled to charge for recovery of the goods if the consumer has a statutory right to cancel the contract under other legislation, (for example because they are defective)"

That said, don't go in all guns blazing. Ask politely and most retailers will take the goods back for repair/replacement. My rule of thumb is ask nicely once, firmly but politely once and read them my rights the third time.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] xiasma:
Also, don't be fooled into believing the warranty is with the manufacturer. Your contract is with the company who sold the (new) unit to you and it is their responsibility to honour it. So when they say "you'll have to send it to the manufacturer" you can reply "I'll make it available for collection by you or your agents and how you proceed with a replacement or repair is not of my concern, as long as I'm not without a comparable unit for an unreasonable time."

HTH
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] gaspx:
Thanks for your reply..

I just got off the phone to o2 and they said..

"It's out of Warranty.. the Warranty lasts as long as your Contract, i.e. 12/18 month contract = 12/18 month Warranty. After that, you can just get a free upgrade to a new phone (or the same phone).."

Mentioning your above facts of being at least 2 years Warranty by law didn't sway him in the slightest, he just re-iterated that I could get an upgrade..

However, It's slightly more complicated in that i've just left o2 and changed to t-mobile for a better data tariff.. so it doesn't appear as though i have a lot of leverage. :(
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] xiasma:
Don't let that deter you. When on the telephone, always ask for the name (first and last. If they say "we can't give out last names" ask if they are the only Debbie/Malcom/whatever there and how to be sure of speaking to them next time you call), office and extension number of the person to whom you are speaking, always note it down. If they'll give it, get their email address and follow up the conversation with an email saying "Following on from my call to you at 15:30 this afternoon (8th Nov 2006), this is my understanding of conversation. You stated that the warranty supplied by O2 on telephones is limited only to the period of the contract even if this is against my statutory rights, as laid out in the Sale of Goods act and other relevant laws."

If you don't get satisfaction from the person on the telephone, insist on speaking to their supervisor. If they are no better, go the next step up. Always be firm, polite and stick to your guns. If you get nowhere, ask for the postal address of the highest person you spoke to and the name and address of their manager. Right a letter, sent recorded delivery, to the them both, sent signed-for delivery, similar to the one I posted earlier. Give them a reasonable period to resolve the issue (10 working days / 14 calendar days from the date of receipt of the letter for refund, 20 working days / 28 calendar days for repair is ample). If that doesn't work, your second letter (if possible, going to the next person up the chain too) should state that you'll proceed to take them to court (small claims track) as you are within your statutory rights. State if if go to court, you will also seek expenses including but not limited to time off work to attend court and for meetings with solicitors, any solicitor and court fees that may be incurred, travel to and from solicitors and court, but you are will accept your replacement, repair or refund if the matter is resolved in the next 14 days. Next step is trading standards and CAB. After that, it's court (you'll win).

Don't let people push you around. These are you LEGAL rights. Big companies try it on all the time. So far, I've not had to get past the written letter stage, but I've been up against Virgin Internet, T Mobile, NTL, the AA and other big companies. When they know you won't give up and they know that you're fully aware of your rights, they will resolve the matter.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] xiasma:
And on the subject of O2, they have been utterly hopeless.

considering I'm supposed to have 24 business support, it's taken them almost a week to replace my handset (which I've had less than 2 weeks) and then they've sent me out one that's clearly been used (albeit not much: it had 9 seconds of outgoing calls on it. Probably one a salesman has played with/demonstrated).
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] gaspx:
Success

What can I say, except thank you xiasma! :)

After a nicely crafted email quoting the statutory rights info you mentioned below to O2 careline, they informed me that O2 actually offer a full 2 year warranty for XDA's. Even though I've since moved to T-Mobile, it matters not, I just had to take the unit to an O2 store along with proof of purchase.

No hassle at all from O2 shop, they just took my details and phone and told me to wait 7-10 days.

2 weeks later (hence no update till now) I am now the proud owner of a new (ok, refurbed) XDA Exec and a further year warranty. :D

As a bonus for my trouble, they actually gave me a fully boxed unit, so I now have a spare charger, styluses (stylee ?), case, battery, cables, etc..

Power to the people. or something. :P
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] GeoNo1:
By reading this topic im furious, ive had the exact same problem, went to o2 with the battery connector completely loose, they said that it was at my own fault that this occured and its not covered under warranty, now ive tried fixing it myself and probably f****ed it up more and still doesnt work. I dont know what to do now
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] gaspx:
Sorry to hear my good news has pee'd you off!

The only thing I can think is that the connector on mine wasn't actually loose or anything, just that it wouldn't take power from the connector. Because yours sounds like physical damage, they (O2) could argue that it may have been dropped or abused in some way.

Don't know what you can do really except try emailing O2 Care and see what they can do for you..
