I would definitely look into getting one, its a phone worth paying for!

---------- Post added at 05:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:05 PM ----------

Just in case you do not know this already, the majority of custom Roms being made for this phone will work on both variants of it. (Metro pos and Tmo, the Canadian variant won't work for some reason as we figured out on AF) Sometimes the devs will incorporate the APN and sometimes they won't so if they don't you'll have to add it and change it to the Metro APN.

SanDisk Extreme 64GB UHS-I/U3 Micro SDXC 60MB/s SDSDQXN-064G-G46A

Just an FYI on my experience with putting one of these SanDisk Extreme 64GB UHS-I/U3 Micro SDXC SDSDQXN-064G-G46A cards in the Galaxy Avant--

it's unstable in the Avant-- card periodically unmounts and sometimes automatically remounts and other times stays unmounted until a reboot. Occassionally receive the message that the "card is damaged. try reformatting..." which goes away on reboot and the card gets mounted again fine (until the next surprise unmount)

For contrast, the same card unaltered is put in a Note 4 and works perfectly for days on end without any spontaneous unmounts or damaged messages.

Unaware of what the top capacity and speed performance SDXC card is for the Avant, but it's certainly not this one.
[General Questions and Answers] Planterz:
There would have to be a significant reason for me to buy an Avant to replace my Light, like if I lost it or band 12 rolled out in Tucson. My Light is my home internet "mule", which the Avant would be as well. Fortunately, I'm not "stuck" with using the Light as my primary phone, since I also have a Nexus 4 and a OnePlus One.

One feature that the Avant has that the Light doesn't that I would really like though is the download booster. It'd be useful at work where my signal sucks, and although there's wifi, it's pretty slow. I wonder if this could be ported over...
[General Questions and Answers] Masterchief87:
I've got a 64GB card in mine too but I never have that problem. It could be because mine is a Samsung evo and not a sandisk, or because mine is formatted as fat32 instead of exfat (exfat is the default format for 64GB SD cards.)
[General Questions and Answers] Planterz:
I've got a Sandisk 64gb Class 10 in my Light, formatted ExFAT, and never have an problems with mount. But it's possible these phones use different controllers.
[General Questions and Answers] Top Nurse:
Supposed to be 64 Gb, but if I recall correctly you have to partition the card. I would have a store put your card in their phone and see what ya get. My personal opinion is I never believe phone companies about how big a card will go in their phones. I always get a card 1/2 the size of whatever they stated.
[General Questions and Answers] Masterchief87:
And I usually get a card twice the size they state. I've never seen an android device that couldn't handle a 64gb card. If it says its only compatible with cards up to 32gb that just means it can't read the default file system for cards that are 64gb and up. All you have to do is insert your empty 64gb card and format it. I'd try this with a 128gb card if they weren't so expensive.
[General Questions and Answers] Top Nurse:
Well I can tell I have been out of the game for too long. :crying:

So I got the stock Metro PCS rom done. I think that a problem I was having with Splash ID Safe was from jacking around with too much stuff and jacked the rom somehow. Most of the Google apps don't like to be merged into the rom with TB for some odd reason. Am I wasting my time discussing it with TB?

I also noticed while playing around with that I was able to get the Device status to change from Custom to Official. Does anyone know why this is going on?
[General Questions and Answers] Exile1975:
I've noticed this with TB a well. What I've found is that Google updated apps that have updated libraries need to have the lib files moved into the system/lib directory and proper permissions set. This has worked for me with all but play store, and Google play services. Make a back up first, but I've currently done it myself and having no problems.
[General Questions and Answers] DroidJP:
Ok now the Avant is acting weird with the network. I no longer get LTE. When I see LTE, it only last a few seconds and then goes back to 4G. Now it stays that way, even out in the open. I get full signal but no LTE. And to rule things out, I have LTE enabled in the network settings. And my data plan does say unlimited 4GLTE. So what gives??
[General Questions and Answers] codyedmonson:
Maybe a restart would help it? Or if you have xposed installed download the module "LTE only mode for the S5" activate reboot and then change the network signal to LTE, be careful with this though as you can't make calls with LTE only network mode selected.
[General Questions and Answers] DroidJP:
Did a reboot, even removed the battery and sim card. Still not rooted yet. The weird part is before, rebooting usually forces to be LTE upon reboot. Now I see only 4G when the phone is booting up I have yet to see LTE at all. Another thing I keep getting is network timeouts to the point I am connected to wifi at a coffee shop to post this lol. I rarely use public wifi. I am starting to wonder if metro is having issues with the network?.
[General Questions and Answers] codyedmonson:
Its possible metro is doing work to their towers, they did that here a few weeks ago and I was getting little to no service, where as usually I get full bars LTE.
[General Questions and Answers] big_c:
is it me or is Metro blocking everything PlayStation including the app in my opinion this is messed up I should be able to use the app. feeling kinda angry about this one it's bad enough they're blocking me from tethering it but now I can't even use the app
[General Questions and Answers] jcl972:
I don't know what all you are trying to tether but there is a zip to flash that disables the tether provision on your phone then install a program Fiddler on your PC and follow the tutorial on it and boom you have tether to your PC. Using it now. if you're interested I'll try to find the links. As far as Playstation I have no idea about that.
[General Questions and Answers] big_c:
I've already done that and for some reason it doesn't work on the ps4

I have the same problem with SanDisk Extreme PLUS 32 GB Micro SDXC as well.
[General Questions and Answers] Cobra11Murderer:
I've learned SanDisk is a hit and miss in some devices, i went with a Sony 32gb class 10 and haven't had any issues, of course it's no 64 though which I'm starting to consider
[General Questions and Answers] Masterchief87:
I like the Samsung evo and pro series cards they seem to provide a little more bang for your buck
[General Questions and Answers] DroidJP:
Sandisk has no quality control these days. One day. The card stopped working. Their black Sandisk microsd are ok. But, too slow. I went with Samsung pro 64gb. Never looked back at Sandisk ever since. Plus, you get more for your buck.
[General Questions and Answers] D-FUSE:
I don't if any of or if anyone is working on a ROM for this phone but I got something going. I dropped my nexus 6 bad and fubared it up. Anyways I should have something ready soon
[General Questions and Answers] codyedmonson:
There is an almost finished cm11 over on android forums, I would say if your debloating the stock ROM and tweaking it be careful because some of the features are needed by touchwiz. I know you know more than me about all this stuff, just trying to give a friendly heads up so all your work is not wasted on a half working ROM :)

Link to cm11 thread on AF: http://androidforums.com/index.php?threads/897931/
[General Questions and Answers] D-FUSE:
Yeah this isn't my 1st rodeo. I normally have high and devices but I broke my Nexus 6 and had to get something cheap for the time being and saw that there isn't much dev going on so I figured I would hook something up. I know about touchwiz as I have had the s1 s2 s3 and the note 2 .
[General Questions and Answers] codyedmonson:
Oh hell man, cudos to you man! We appreciate anything you can throw our way
[General Questions and Answers] tylerholbrook:
Right on man. Likewise on high end devices. I'm waiting on the s6 and a little savings, don't really want to get into a contact. Would be nice for just a basic rom debloated with tethering workaround and sd fix. Xposed is causing me a lot of problems I don't know about anyone else. Anyways thanks for even trying to drop anything. Ya get spoiled with the high end phones and development.
[General Questions and Answers] codyedmonson:
I feel like my phone runs a bit slower with xposed installed.. Idk about anyone else, I don't really have too many bugs or problems just it being generally slower.
[General Questions and Answers] tylerholbrook:
I ran wanam, flashlight and greenify and a lot of apps force closed and I kept getting download failed trying to download anything and titanium said couldn't back up insufficient, but it would back up and instead of overwriting a back up like it should, it kept making more and more causing a headache. I cleared cache, dalvik, everything that was recommended on research. I finally just odined back to stock and Re rooted and haven't messed with anything since. Only thing i can't get to work now is the stock weather widget, no biggie but I'm just used to it. Has anyone worked a volume boost yet? I tried a few from other galaxy phones just to see and they all just made the phone silent. Viper doesn't really make the ring tone louder for alarms, I sleep right through them, plus headphones would be nice. Sorry for the long post, just stating my experience, not my first phone but I couldn't really find much for this phone
[General Questions and Answers] codyedmonson:
Honestly. I haven't really had any problems with force closing apps or the titanium backup bug, I'm running quite a bit of modules too.. As for the alarms, I would select one that is already loud like look up Buzzer alarm on Zedge and that's what I use.
[General Questions and Answers] D-FUSE:
I got some stuff coming man about another day or two been while since I messed with touch wiz and wanna seems to of freezed my phone,but I got hella mods going on. Like long press or swipe down the status bar lock for power menu short press status bar clock for screen off enable call record enable block calls and messages. Idk if I'm gonna theme anything due to the long process.

Oh and hella fonts and more
[General Questions and Answers] codyedmonson:
Do you think you could get lock screen widgets enabled? That would be amazing lol. I miss my lock screen widgets dearly
[General Questions and Answers] tylerholbrook:
Cool. Long press volume to skip I use a lot when it works with Google music. Sounds like you know your way around, wish I had the time, I'm just a flash a holic, I just don't know how long I'll hold out for the S6. Think I'm going for the non Edge as the Edge will have less dev, but over on tmobile and att they got some great development and I miss my peeps lol

Just a note to people on Metro PCS (Just saying metro because thats what I have, it could be the same for T-Mobile) If/When you flash this, It will reboot to a black screen, wait for a few seconds and the "Android is upgrading" screen will come up :) Happy modding, since you finally can mod the apps lol

EDIT: Also on Metro pcs, When the phone starts back up, It will say "Unfortunately, Application manager app has forced closed" Locate an application to uninstall apps and uninstall it. Problem solved.

I made a flashable stock ROM a while back from the T-Mobile stock ROM and kernel and everything worked fine. My avant is metro too. It worked the same whether I flashed it over the T-Mobile or MetroPCS firmware. I didn't even have to change the APN.

---------- Post added at 10:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:07 PM ----------

I never uploaded it cause I'm not able to code or theme apps. All I could really do is replace some apps like email, calendar, calculator, and a few others and change the icons for the rest of the apps along with the boot animations and most of the tones and ui sounds
[General Questions and Answers] codyedmonson:
A complete stock flashable zip would be nice for metro and T-Mobile variants, so if we do ever mess something up and want to go back to complete stock, we could do it easily without having to boot to download mode and all that nonsense lol. You should upload both variants or at least give a tutorial on how to do it for ourselves :) would be greatly appreciated my friend!

[General Questions and Answers] codyedmonson:
Its sad, this phone has a lot of potential.
[General Questions and Answers] Masterchief87:
Well we should be getting more development soon. Imo the Dev that I sent my first avant to will be the most experienced person this phone has seen so far when it comes to building custom ROMs and kernels.

If he can take a device that only has source for 4.1.2 and build a 4.4.4 ROM for it that's almost completely stable then I'm confident he can do even better with a phone that already gas kitkat. The only reason I haven't mentioned him by name is so he can have enough time to get something working without being rushed.

I won't be jumping ship any time soon. B)

I wouldn't give up on it just yet the devs that are working on this need time, they got lives to, even the Stock ROM dev, all thats wrong with that is hardware acceleration which any Dev can ultimately figure out it just takes time, I for one continue to mess with it, I'm far from being a Dev but hopefully I'll learn from it
