[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emanuelparedes:
Hey guys,

I know that this kind of thread is not allowed here, but I really need your help.

My girlfriend has an i8190, stock (with Vodafone Portugal's firmware), but now the phone is getting really slow, and with some annoying bugs (sometimes the status bar stops working).

So I was thinking of installing a custom ROM on her phone. But the thing is... Right now, I'm with her only at weekends, so I can't install a custom ROM with bugs, lots of random reboots, etc.

My question is: should I install a custom ROM, or is it better to reinstall the stock ROM (maybe the debloated version)?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] STRATOS99KINGZ:
I'm not sure about that model, if it has NFC it won't work on any custom rom Samsung never released the driver, everything else is working at least for me I use pac rom because of customization but I would recommend Omni Rom or Cyanogenmod 11 because of stability in pac rom I have a bug that connects/disconnects the phone while plugged to the PC, and I haven't had reboots with custom rom in months,I prefer custom instead of stock mainly because I had reboots in stock and lag

i have a couple of bluetooth applications that require a "Ms bluetooth stack" how would i get Ms blue tooth stack on a device that does not have it? or at least trick an application into thinking it is the ms bluetooth stack so my applications will work

You can maybe disable it.

Go to Settings > Application Manager, then scroll all the way right to the ALL tab. Find WhatsApp and press on it. There may be a Disable button.

On my Note 4, WhatsApp was NOT pre-installed! ;)
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buell47:
Just disabling will not work, if you want install WA+

Here in Germany have Provider Branded devices no whatsapp pre-installed.

Just the free ones.

If you want protect your warranty, you can flash a provider firmware via Odin.

Knox stay at 0x0, if you use original samsung firmwares.

No root needed.

In case of warranty, you can flash original firmware back.

I have prolonged charging times and quick discharging times on rooted GS4 I337UCUFNB1. Can I flash any kernel on stock rom to correct this issue? Call quality also seems to be an issue.

Thanks in advance.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
I would agree that you should not get a US variant. For one thing, they will be SIM locked. Another thing, the Sprint and Verizon versions are CDMA. Different software, and possibly different hardware (although its been discussed here, and not clear - but I would err on the side of caution and assume the hardware is different). So if your area does not use CDMA I would stay away from those variants.

All GSM versions, be aware that they can all be converted to another carrier variant once bootloader unlocked and S-off. So as long as you avoid the CDMA versions, you are good for ROMs.

I would suggest the version that supports your local 3G and LTE bands out of the box. But again, as long as you are willing to s-off the phone, you can change that in software. So if that is the case, I would just go with the best deal.

From what I understand, the Asian version is the same as any other GSM version, just with a slight overclock.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] str8str:
Well if you do go with a us carrier Verizon has the best coverage and thier phones are :not: sim locked. You can use them with any carrier anywhere. My second choice would be t-mobile
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
The OP is from the Philippines. They aren't going to use a US carrier.

I would advise against CDMA variants for the reasons already mentioned.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Czai24:
Thanks guys, I just want to be clear, so if I use a Rom or RUU on a GSM variant, as long as Im'm on S-Off / Unlocked Bootloader and/ or on SuperCID. I could use any Rom ./ RUU from different GSM variants (I checked the rooting guide for the M8 and is similar to the M7, so as far as unlocking the bootloader / root that I have an idea).

Do they have different RUUs at all??
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Yes.

Aside from the CDMA RUUs, which I wouldn't try on a GSM version unless you read definitive advice elsewhere that its ok.

Only US versions have RUU, that I know of.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Czai24:
Yes you're right.

I thought all has ruus on it. But with supercid i could use any nandroid backup right? As long as its gsm

I think I will go for the Asian version (wwe right? Cause it has a higher clockspeed and updated s801) And go supercid and use international (gsm) roms. Will that work?

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
I believe that will work, yes.

WWE just means "world wide English". I think it refers to the Euro version.

[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tinpaul:
Soak test and actual public release is totally different, so yes I did do a little search and only found that Motorola is releasing 5.0 to the Droid Maxx so take your stupid little comments that no one really cares to read and am sure someone would of asked the same question.

SOAK TEST.....
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johnny Wong:
If you are signed up to be a tester then you will get it. Or wait a few hours and a kind gentleman who violates the user agreement will post it in XDA developers.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tinpaul:
I signed up for when they released 4.4.4, I just was wondering if the Maxx will get the test just like the x,g.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kcipopnevets:
No we're not gonna get a soak test, we're not getting Lollipop either because i didn't do my research!!!! ;)
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doogald:
Motorola has already said that the Maxx is getting 5.0. Motorola always does a soak test before release, but you may not get chosen to be a soak tester. Either way, by the end of about a week or two after you start reading rumors of a soak test, you'll have lollipop on your phone.

And, as already posted, there hasn't been a soak test yet that hasn't leaked within a day so you can manually run the update yourself.

I suppose it's possible that Motorola and Verizon will update the phone without a soak test, but they never have before.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tinpaul:
Thanks for the response, I really appreciated.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 335Deezl:

They told me that the soak test rollout will begin tomorrow night, 9 pm sharp. ;)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] kamycrs:
So i know AT&T and Verizon users are not able to root their devices at this point! Has it ever been like this for devices Like S4,S5,Note 3 etc?.... If so, did they take a long time to get rooted too?....

it seems AT&T and Verizon pay more to their software developers to make this harder for everyone!!!!....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] soraxd:
in short; no.

bootloaders have started to be locked down more over time on att/vzn but nothing major till of late. the s5 is actually rooted already, so only the note 4 is left. if the note 4 never gets root it'll be the first major flagship to go rootless.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] greekunit690:
I remember the s4 was out for about 2 months before we got root by having a bootloader patch tricking it (loki) but shortly after it was updated over for the later of bootloader phones...now they use run safestrap and still can't get any non TouchWiz rom :( I was one of the lucky ones who froze the updater apps before they automatically pushed it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] soraxd:
I think you may be confusing root with unlocked bootloader. root was achieved before the phone even came out, the bootloader wasnt unlocked till a week or two after, but wasn't released so Verizon couldn't patch it yet. that way verizon ppl could have an unlocked bootloader on their phone as well.

root has ALWAYS been something we had.

I dislike locked bootloaders, but can get over it, root is just so **** necessary for BASIC functionality..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] nyydynasty:
what I dont get is why more manufacturers wont take a page out of HTC's (or was it Moto?) book and allow people to unlock the bootloader from a website. If you agree to void the warranty, why not allow people to do that...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] con_ritmo:
this. i've been holding off on the note4 to see when root arrives. if root doesn't come out before nex6 release i'm going to have to jump ship...which is too bad...would lose functionality going that route but lack of root trumps all else...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] ok2nvnexus:
Idk...I've rooted every phone I've had and for the first time I don't necessarily need it as of right now
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] lebertian:
Same here. Of course I would prefer being able to root it, but I think I could deal with the scenario of that not happening ever, I really like this phone that much!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] JuannTwo3:
It's been great even without root, but there are just a couple things I'd like to change. For example I hate the emojis on here (prefer the standard hangouts emoji) and I could easily fix that with root. Other than that I can live with the phone as is. I do miss some Xposed modules though
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Kyuta Syuko:
The things I'm missing that require root:

Titanium Backup

AdAway

Being able to modify my DPI

Avast Anti-Theft

Pretty sure there's more but those are what I can think of off the top of my head...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] b3asty:
I'd like to have those options as well but, like the others have stated, I like this phone so much that I could easily get used to not having root. I pledged and hope someone finds an exploit but I am loving this phone as is.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] shigeo:
ug deal breaker... for now...

yea im in the same boat as a lot of people who need root for Ti Backup so all my game saves and what not... kinda a bummer.... I guess ill have to wait a bit longer for the upgrade... or maybe pick up a S5 instead...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Kyuta Syuko:
Yeah I'm loving this phone, but if root is unachievable I might have to sell it and get a T-Mobile version...

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] floats:
I had something similiar happen a little while back. What I did was pull the battery out and leave it out for a while, maybe a few minutes. I then put the battery back in and held the two side buttons and hit the reset button to put me into bootloader mode. I then cabled it to my computer and flashed a new OS via mutty. That got my phone back and operational.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] supern001:
@float. Nuh, it didn't work on my brick. Prob i will have to take it back to Tmobile if they kind enough to repair the no warranty phone i bought on ebay.

how exactly did you try to update the radio using mtty?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] supern001:
I download the 1.27 shipped radio rom. P.S. It seemed to be a german version, not sure whether that caused the disaster.

Using NBHextract to get the single GSM.NB file, then in MTTY, typed

USB> task 32

USB> lnb GSM.NB

Before flashing, just had it upgraded to the HTC AKU3.3 OS rom only. The old version radio rom version before flashing was 1.18.

Maybe the order i flash is wrong. I flashed OS first then the radio rom.

just guessing:(
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Sleuth255:
ok, you loaded the radio rom code where os.nb should go. That may have caused mega bad blocks in flash. Can you even get bootloader mode if you reset using Wiki directions to obtain Tri-color bootloader?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] supern001:
Yes. I have tried many ways wiki suggests. Such as removing the battery leaving it more than half an hour and plugging it to the usb cable without battery. still can't get to the tri-color bootloader mode. Basically, I just can't turn on the phone.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] patmannyc:
If you connect it to the computer, can it communicate w/the PC? If you hear the windows tones try opening up mtty and see if you can communicate.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] connorm:
i'm stuck in the same place

for me it happened during extrom flash
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] floats:
Try removing the battery for a bit (a few minutes, maybe half an hour). Then, put the battery back in but don't plug the usb cable in. After that, hold the two side buttons as if you're trying to get it to go into the bootloader. Hit the reset button a few times with your stylus and see if that gets you to the bootloader. That's what worked for me.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] connorm:
tried that

tried removing battery and connecting usb

nothing helps

devs, anyone please tell me how convert mako kernel to geeb ?

what changes we need to do ?

what are all differences in both kernels ?

do we need compile or just repacking will be enough ?

.

I read the tutorial, but that was only for rom, for kernel, we need copied kernel of geeb..

.

please guys. share you views, after getting all info, I will make AIO Tutotrial for this..

I would love to help, but m not kernel dev .. m also struggling in that part ... i'll give this a go after my exams :)
[AT&T LG Optimus G] jollaman999:
Mako to gee needs various patches.

(Find xboxfanj's commit commented with Optimus G squash. Or check my commits.)

Gee to geeb needs...

1. SDcard : Add some of lines related with sdcard to init.*.rc. And activate sdcard related option in kernel config.

(CONFIG_MMC_MSM_SDC3_SUPPORT)

2. Camera : Fix some of options related with camera in kernel config options. (See gee_defconfig & geeb_defconfig and what are diffrences in camera options).

Most of cases are working. But it seems 2nd method is not working with stock based camera driver.

Also if you build with stock based roms, you must fix vibrator options in kernel config and patch gpu, video, wifi, power, led, iommu, camera.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] MikeEx:

[AT&T LG Optimus G] ShoaibAhmed:
If it's Zip then it will soft brick but diff kernel has chances to hardbrick phone.

Technically it's same phone with Sd card so it will boot with funky colors.

Just don't flash anything in fastboot mod like New nexus factory images. I never tried this on LG optimus G but i have experience of same thing with other phone.

And at Last it's better to wait then brick a good phone.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] RohanAJoshi:
nah, I am not thinking about fastboot rom, but zips, such a like stock cm zip..

just want to quote out diff / errors from geeb to mako..

.

so if I flash stock mako cm zip with inbuilt boot.img will it brick or not ? it will boot or not ?

what I expect is, sd card will not work and some other stuff.

.

please help me in this, just want find out way to convert n4 rom geeb..

If we get this, then geeb will immortal..

with this tutorial, I think rom will boot fine, he only did not covered kernel part, says directly take other kenel..

Isn't there some deal about install scripts flashing each partition either by name or by number? IIRC both are ok on N4, but one will hard brick the e970. Maybe I'm way off base, but I recall warnings off this sort back in the days when N4 conversion was a somewhat viable option...

From online research, It's just to fix some bugs and a slight performance increase. I don't know if it will break root because I'm not rooted
[Xperia Z1 General] mariussilverwolf:
I do have root, so I can report. I just installed it and am going through the rebooting process now. Notes:

* My custom boot animation did not change. This looks promising so far.

* "Android is upgrading..." message. Now to sit and wait as 139 apps get optimized.

* None of my XPosed modules kicked in, nor did DashClock load as my lockscreen widget. Hmm. That's less promising.

* SuperSU launches. Auto-start items are triggering Toast for being enabled with elevated permissions. This looks better.

* Checking XPosed. Says inactive. Updating and rebooting.

* Everything looks good. All my XPosed modules trigger. Root still active.

I can't find anything immediately apparent as present in the update, but the fact that it doesn't break root is good enough for me right now.
