Just tried the new (Slim)Rom of today and everything works so far! (Wifi, Gapps)

Good job!

I did a full wipe with TWRP (Cache, Dalvik, System, Internal) and flashed the rom and the gapps package.

Pacman ROM -pac_matissewifi_KK.RC-3.dev_20141207-025035.zip

Hi,

Still considered a noob and can't reply to thread yet. Device = Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 (SM-t530[NU]). I just wanted to offer another test point of reference. In the latest build of Pacman ROM (pac_matissewifi_KK.RC-3.dev_20141207-025035.zip) which looked absolutely incredible and the boot animation is fantastic, many thanks to the hard working Developers, I noticed the following:

1) Galary & camera still crashes (known issue)

2) Sound works as expected (great job!)

3) WiFi connection was not connecting for my nearly brand new SM-t530(NU). It would show "connecting" really quickly and go back to a not connected state. I tried rebooting, cold shut down / restart, DHCP & setting static IP, nailed down 2.4 Ghtz & U.S. region, also prioritized my connection (which was only one in priority listing), manually tried clicking "connect" / forget / save again / connect again, also all after saving password; none of which seemed to change the "connecting" flash / blip and then back to idle / disconnected. All expected nearby WiFi APs showed in the listing.

No reply is necessarily needed unless there is something obvious I overlooked in testing / troubleshooting. I didn't have too much time to spend eariler today. This post is more to thank the Developers for an awesome job so far and to merely offer another test reference, a friendly assist.

Hi,

The best way is to download any SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) soft client app (Xlite is a good client only) that offers FREE originations & terminations and they do exist. The better apps allow you to even pick the DID (direct inward dial) of your choice. The quality may be somewhat compromised using FIFO (first-in-first-out packet prioritization) over the open internet. I read a while back that the internet would adopt priority for VoIP applications globally using the EF (expidited forwarding) bit in the future, which is what is used primarily on VoIP QOS (quality of service) managed Networks. Seach for "VoIP client" or "free calling" .apk in Google or in play store.

I hope this helps.

Kind Regards,

I loved cynogen on my tab 2. I was a bit disappointed to see it's not available on the tab 4. If this is working i might have to install it.

1. Is it good for daily use.

2. does the camera/gallary work if you install a third party app?

3. is wifi reliable?

FINALLY Figured out why WiFi wouldn't connect - Pac ROM

Hi,

Still less than 10 posts. Please pardon the format of my reply.

SM-t530(NU) - So I was testing the latest build of Pac ROM tonight and STILL couldn't connect to my home WiFi. I decided to test connecting to my Galaxy S4 Hotspot. It worked but wait...then I realized that it must be a setting on my router that was preventing the connection (not in stock ROM, only Pac ROM). After checking connection types (B, G, N allowed), I changed a WiFi related few configuration parameters and then realized that I have a MAC address filter on my router. Basically if the device MAC address isn't in the table, NO access allowed.

In conclusion, my stock ROM / MAC address was already in the router MAC address filter listing which indicates that Pac ROM alters the WiFi MAC address of the device. I added the new Pac based WiFi MAC address and my device connected NO PROBLEM.

My only question is why alter the device MAC? Every NIC has 6 character vendor identification and the remaining 6 character unique to NIC.

I hope this helps.

TWRP und Cyanogenmod für SM-T535 LTE

Hi there,

I would like to install TWRP recovery on my SM-T535 tablet, preferably with Odin. The devices 530 and 535 do not differ in any LTE.

So it must be possible right? Likewise, I would like to install CyanogenMod, sub77 you could help me with this? Or Metalica? My English is not very good so we would be very happy if I could get a manual in German:)? Would that be possible?

Best Regards

Hallo zusammen,

ich möchte gerne TWRP recovery auf mein SM-T535 Tablet installieren, am liebsten mit Odin. Die Geräte 530 und 535 unterscheiden sich nicht bis auf das LTE.

Also muss es doch möglich sein oder ? Genauso möchte ich cyanogenmod installieren, sub77 könntest Du mir dabei helfen ? Oder Metalica ? Mein Englisch ist nicht besonders gut deswegen würde mich sehr freuen wenn ich eine Anleitung auf Deutsch bekommen könnte :) ? Wäre das möglich ?

Love for SM-T235 anyone?

So... I know this may be slightly off topic but who am i supposed to contact in order to give my left arm (or, possibly, my first-born) for a working slimrom (/slimromish) for the galaxy tab 7.0 LTE (SM-T235)?

I can't seem to find even talk about anything along this line, but i do perceive it as a valid question anyway...

(I would have offered my right arm but i did get a great slimrom for the nexus 7 1st gen...)

I have noticed that many people ask us (that allready got the ROM) to provide download-links, and even mail it to you.

You have to understand that we cannot provide all new readers with that same info over and over.

If you read the two posts:

WM6 rom for wizard: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=289799

and

about the crossbow wwe leak: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=290277

you can easily figure out yourself how to get hold of it!

It's in your own best interest.

Even people here are helpful, all the post like "wm6 for me too plzzzzz mail it to someone@provider.domain" is quite irritating.

So "noobs" - please read those above posts carefully, and you wil figure out how to download it yourself!

I guarantee you someone will come in here and ask for a link to it...

This is part of a big problem with mobile phone message boards I've seen across all makes and models.

Newbies come in asking hundreds of the same exacty question over and over and over again all because they're too lazy to figure it out for themselves like we all had to before them.

I don't mind helping people out, but when it's something simple, easy, or has been discussed to extreme length here, it is extremely frustrating.

guys be careful who you give the crossbow link to. remember that noobs rarely read threads and take the time to know what you have to do before flashing a rom. so to avoid the hundreds of threads about noobs bricking their phone lets just use our discretion on giving out those links.

I propose the opposite, give links willy nilly, let them brick, and then let them learn at cost.

Anyone who posts info about flashing Crossbow, please always pre-pend with a disclaimer to the effect that it will cause sterility and permanent flaccidity.

None of these roms are retail AFAIK. Side-effects

This post was never intended as a "****ing noobs" post, but they (yes YOU:-)) must understand that this takes up to much of our time, and we must use our precious time to set up our phones properly after we flashed the WM6 ROM;-)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] ptatlow:
Wow!

It took me a whopping 2 minutes to find the rom... Not that I actually downloaded it or anything...

But let's say that I did download the thing... And it were to happen to install just fine on my 8125... I think that I too, would rather spend time installing things like a camera proggie, and the odds and ends that a plain vanilla rom such as this probably doesn't contain... than to waste precious time responding to the non-existent requests for it's location...

I'd even bet that M$ might even put a "windows update" button in there somewhere just to tease us... Probably just tattles on ya tho... Anyone that HAS been brave enough to click on the "update" button capture what is going out? where the request goes? what the request contains? (I'll bet it just comes back with "no updates available" tho...)

Sure, it's easy to say "let the n00bs brick their phone"... Can't we all just get along? Don't be haters... Yeah, right... What the hell do I know... I'm just a n00b myself, but at least I'm a n00b that knows how to read, and tries to spend time actually reading the forums before making an @$$ out of myself...

Rumor has it that Microsoft secretly *WANTS* these ROMS to be leaked and tested by the phone geeks.

They allow Vista to be officially tested but it would be too difficult to go through any program like that - especially given the nature of how the OS is loaded.

Who better to test them, discover patches and fixes, and give pros and cons then the phone nerds. It also drums up interest for those who don't flash ROMS all the time. Do you realize how many major phone websites are already publishing Crossbow articles based on the leaked ROMS? You think Microsoft dislikes the publicity?

Apple went ape-**** because someone was using the pictures they provide on their website for free. Why do you think there has been ZERO comments from Microsoft when an OS is leaked 6 months early?

By the way, when you provide a link for a lossless photo of the icons on the homescreen of a yet to be released phone, people are going to download it:

http://images.apple.com/movies/us/pr/photos/iphone/iphone_home.tif.zip

I was able to turn that picture into all the icons needed in under 5 minutes. Thank God I hate Apple so much I'd never use them!

McHale:

That comment isn't correct. Microsoft has contacted this board and asked for the roms to be removed. Very politely I might add. I have every respect for them for that.

Regarding the rumour that Microsoft wants their roms to be leaked, well rumour has it that Kate Moss wants me to eat sushi off her naked body. As much as I would like to believe it to be true, it's unlikely and probably a self-serving reflection of my own inner desires. She probably wouldn't want me slobbering over her after enjoying Adonis, Pete Doherty, and likewise, I doubt Microsoft is short of beta testers when they have their entire body of employees to test for them.

We're just freeloaders... but resourceful and dedicated :)

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] McHale:
that's very cool. I got the rumor information from a couple Microsoft Reps who were at my company when we were discussing corporate licensing and the future of OS's (including mobile). Sales guys...

you know, I heard that second rumor as well but I could have sworn it was me and not you and it wasn't Sushi... it was sausage pizza. :)

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] vijay555:
Man if we'd known that, we could have "facilitated" a leak quite some time back! A lot of people have been sitting on the roms for a while AFAIK.

Chipolata or Cumberland?!

V
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] McHale:
I will say it again though. I think Microsoft has been very cool about us playing with the WM6 ROM and not getting Apple-sue happy. They've also been cool about us cooking custom ROMS with bits and pieces from all of them.

With as often as many of us upgrade Windows Mobile devices, this only encourages most of us to buy the next device that has it pre-installed. It won't keep many of us from upgrading because we have the new OS.

If it would make MS happy, I'm sure most of us would be happy to take part in a Beta program and report our findings as well as fixes (though they are all here on XDA if they take the time to read).

And as I stated days ago, let's not do anything that jeopardizes this fine forum or any of us on here. If MS says stop, we should take it someplace else.

-Mc
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] vijay555:
I entirely agree with you.

I was doing some work with some obscure Microsoft APIs yesterday, and as much as people love to shoot them down and whatever, we reap the rewards of the incredible amount of work that goes into supporting functions that we may never even get to use!

I specifically chose to use the phone I do because I can rip it apart software/ROM wise.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KingsGambit:
Hi all, I just received my new handset, a Sony Xperia Z3 Compact as an upgrade to my Samsung Galaxy S4. I'm not a noob per se, but these are noob questions I have, any answers for which I would be most grateful. My otherwise stellar google-fu has failed me these past two days and some clearer, direct advice and answers would be immensely helpful.

- A general question re: the Play Store. If I purchase a paid app, does it remain available to me to re-download and update forever after? Does it last between multiple/new devices? I want to buy Navigon Europe, but wanted to know if it's a once-only deal or remains available to me to download permanently.

- Contact syncing. On my past android phones, I've always somehow managed to import all my contacts from various online accts (eg. FB, GMail, etc). I have all my contacts (up-to-date) in Outlook on my PC and ideally want them, and only them, on my device contact list. I don't want the phone to synch anything with anything except my Outlook contacts but don't know what steps I can take to avoid that.

- Battery: I've had mixed messages about the first charge (currently in-progress at the time of writing!). Do Li-Ion batteries need to be charged for 16hrs or just until they're full?

- Converting the SIM Card: My S4 uses a MicroSIM, the Z3 Compact a NanoSIM. I heard they can be cut manually...is it safe to do that, or should I wait 3 days for TMobile (UK) to send me one?

I have two last questions that are more general advice than anything, but answers still appreciated!

- What apps/services are best to transfer my data over from my old handset to the new one? I can figure this out, but any recommendations from experience in doing the same would be welcome. I can figure out how to use them, just a general idea of apps/services to make sure I don't miss anything (texts, calendar, apps). Presumably I can download an app, *export* a file to my SD card, install the app and SD card on the new phone and "import" the file?

- This is a tough one...I have Barclays Mobile Banking app and kept my S4 stock since it apparently stopped working on rooted phones. I'd like to root my Z3 Compact but would have to stay stock for the Barclays app alone. Is there a good way to like trick the phone to believe it's not rooted, or stealth it, etc?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KingsGambit:
Any advice would be most gratefully received. I think I've answered the battery question but am still concerned about the rest. Many thanks in advance.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Paid apps are transferrable between devices, assuming you use the same Google account that it is linked to.

When you sign into Google (and your other accounts) it will ask if you want to Backup and Restore. Just leave it unchecked and then when finished importing Outlook contacts, you can go into your Google account and just make sure to only sync the options you're interested in by checking/unchecking whatever boxes you need.

I find a good way to transfer texts, call logs, apps, etc from device to device is by using an app like Go Backup. You were on the right path with the idea of backing up on the phone, transferring to PC, and switching it to a new phone. If you don't have access to a PC at the time, you can use something like Wifi File Explorer Pro to connect to it, assuming you have access to wifi or can wifi tether between the 2.

Cutting of the SIM is possible manually, but if you don't have access to a good SIM card cutter tool (obviously you don't have one in your possession, but any respectable repair shop or cell phone provider will have one. It only takes 5 seconds, but still there is a slight risk of damaging the card. It is best to get a new one. It is possible to cut with a sharp Exacto knife or something of the sort, but when going to nano, the margin of error is so small that I don't recommend.

As far as root and Barclay's, I don't believe it is an option. There have been attempts to bypass this restriction, but I believe that it has been without success. See:

http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.devadvance.rootcloak
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KingsGambit:
Thank you for your helpful reply! I've moved most of my data over successfully, installed/copied most apps and setup most accounts. I did however ruin my MicroSIM in my attempts at converting it to Nano size. Have ordered a replacement but currently unable to call or text. Ah well!

I took the plunge and blew some money on the Play Store. I have the apps working now, and hope that they will remain available to me hereafter.

Thanks for the info on the Barclays App. I think I will skip rooting again *sigh* It's very annoying. There's a bunch of bloat I cannot freeze/quarantine, the ability to move apps to the SD card isn't available...all for one app :( If I found an APK of an old version, from back when it worked on a rooted phone, that might be an option?

Only issue I now have (apart from getting used to a few changes!) is with Email. On the S4, I set up my email as follows: Email: Forwarding Address - Incoming Server: BT Internet - Outgoing: Gmail (Set to send using my forwarding address). It worked fine. Now on the Z3C, I no longer have a box to enter my "Email address". Only "Username" and "Password". I can get my Emails from BT, can send via Gmail but it comes with "On behalf of..." in the sender field which is driving me mad! These are the little things that reallyget aggravating. Spent 2 hours already trying to work it out :(
