This rom is running great. The only issue I'm having is when I connect to my Bluetooth speaker Pandora sounds awful. It does fine for phone calls in my truck but not with music. Any ideas?

EDIT* SOLVED* - Solution in post #13 http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=57050358&postcount=13

Current ROM : KOT49H.G900FXXU1ANG9

Target ROM: G900FXXU1ANE2_G900FOXA1ANE2_BTU.zip

Model: SM-G900F

Reason for doing this:

I want root without tripping the KNOX bit, so I must use TowelRoot, but it's incompatible with my current ROM

I would like a ROM for my region (it's a grey import phone)

Can anyone confirm?

Will this flash trip the KNOX bit?

Will there be any issues arising from the fact the ROMs have different regions (one is Netherlands (I think?) target is UK)?

How can I verify that the kernel in "G900FXXU1ANE2_G900FOXA1ANE2_BTU.zip" is official and signed by Samsung before flashing? I downloaded it from here... http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/29315/G900FXXU1ANE2_G900FOXA1ANE2_BTU.zip/

I've looked around the forum and I'm confident it will be ok, but I rarely see people flashing different region ROMs. Any help and advice is much appreciated!

Thank you
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iNTER5LOve:
1- Flash newest rom for your region with odin

2- flash old kernel with odin and then root your phone using towel

3- flash latest kernel with odin

Check here for roms link

And the KNOX bit will remain 0x0 (valid warranty)?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iNTER5LOve:
Yes
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Admin0389:
Thank you, ok heres what I'll do

1. Download latest ROM for my region (UK) : BTU	G900FXXU1ANG2	Android	4.4.2	03.07.2014 (BTU-G900FXXU1ANE2-20140512140232.zip)

Edit* 1.5. Wait for 600 hours for rapidgator.net's download to finish :(

2. Flash with odin (version 3.09 from the link on this page http://www.galaxys5update.com/firmware-g900fxxu1ane2-4-4-2-galaxy-s5-sm-g900f/ )

3. Download BTU	G900FXXU1ANE2	Android	4.4.2	08.05.2014 (BTU-G900FXXU1ANCE-20140408194209.zip) (pre-June kernel donor ROM)

4. Flash kernel from 4.4.2	08.05.2014

5. TowelRoot

6. Flash kernel from 4.4.2	03.07.2014

7. Report back

I hope this works. I'm very concerned about the KNOX bit :(

Any good tutorials on only flashing the kernel from a ROM image?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iNTER5LOve:
You can open rom image with winrar and then extract kernel file (boot.img) and flash it with odin
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Admin0389:
Is there any way to make sure all the files are signed prior to flashing?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Admin0389:
Not mirrors, but these files have the same descriptions and the download is much faster.

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/34794/G900FXXU1ANG2_G900FVIR1ANG2_VIR.zip/

I assume there's nothing wrong with using the ones provided on sammobile.com with regards to tripping the KNOX bit?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Admin0389:
Hit a snag,

Not sure how to flash 'boot.img'.

Will I get away with just creating a *.tar containing only 'boot.img' using 7zip and then flash with odin?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Admin0389:
Anyone?

Finger is on the button :eek:
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Admin0389:
Update: Will gamble and proceed with the technique here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2446269

I read that 7-zip tars are *NOT* compatible with odin (can't confirm).
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Admin0389:
Ok, everything worked.

But I'm a tool, and as some of you may have noticed I installed the Virgin Mobile ROMs rather than a carrier-free BTU version.

So I'm going to repeat the process and pray that flashing over a rooted OS doesn't trip the KNOX. (Does anyone know if it does or not?)

It's getting late tonight but I'll try and get back tomorrow with a final step-by-step.

[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] volcolm:
See I'm not the only one comparing these two phones, great minds..

For audio, what I'd really like to know:

Is there any physical difference between the audio used in the Mate 2 vs Mate 7?

One thing that I liked with the M2 was that the headphones could be powered (if not overpowered) by the chipset without an external amp (and little distortion), most phones these days miss this entirely.

For me audio quality will be the final determining factor, does the AM7 use the same or better (than Mate 2) chipset in device?
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skezza:
Still 50/50. The thing that let's the OnePlus One down is the lack of MicroSD.
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] getmobilephone:

[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] volcolm:
I'll throw in an update since I was quoted twice :p (please don't quote this as it is slightly offtopic): Since relegated a decision to Huawei Nexus 6P or LG G5 :o ... The Mate 7 isn't easily as obtainable for me and would actually be too expensive compared to either, due having to import it (it doesn't make financial or hardware sense to me); but a Nexus device would be awesome because Huawei does a good job with hardware, not to mention XDA is awesome for releasing stable kernels; but on the other side, LG's ''friends'' attachments are appealing too (they're currently teasing more attachments for it on Facebook), am certain that XDA would work in either's favour here.
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scruffykid:
Comparing the Mate 7 to any of the devices you mentioned is pointless, and if you actually consider importing one... Well that's laughable. I really despise Huawei's software and lack off support. Go for the 6P, however the G5 does also look pretty sexy.

Plus, the Mate 7 was announced in 2014, meaning it is nearly two years old at this stage. Considering it above the current, top-of-the-line flagships is a little silly.

Take the advice from someone using a Mate 7 and stay far, far away. Like you said, Huawei does a fantastic job hardware wise, it really is great (bar the camera, which is mediocre at best), but what really kills the entire experience to me is the bastardized Android. If you have the money to buy a current flagship don't buy the mate 7.
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] volcolm:
That wasn't meant as a comparison, and (lol) I meant to use "wasn't" not "isn't" (oops!). Also for some strange reason this notification remains at the top of the "recent notifications" in the control panel, so due to poor eyes I thought this was new, even though, logically, it should be shuffled down instead of being on top.

So that's clarified, please stop bumping this :laugh:

Cool! I think it was a nice device, but the lack of microphone, GPS, camera or even an ambient light sensor made it a little limited in what it could do. The lack of hardware volume controls didn't help either. I'm hoping that the N9 gets better battery life than my fire used to get.

Hey guys,

I bought one of these tabs and the specs are pretty good but i hate UX. Its enough for me to return it.

I'd rather not flash to CyanogenMod and instead use a regualr plain ole KitKat or Lollipop AOSP stock Rom.

Does such a beast exist? I've looked everywhere.

Cheers.... Shane
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] redpoint73:
"Stock" is a really confusing term to use. Stock for this device means TouchWiz. I think you mean something like GPE (Google Play Edition) or Nexus type ROM, without any manufacturer customization. Some may consider this "stock Google" in a sense. But as very few actual devices have come with such a thing out of the box, its hard for me to consider this "stock".

Even calling CM and the like "AOSP" is a stretch. CM and many other "AOSP" ROMs have so many customizations at this point, its hard to see any relation to the original Android OS as it comes from Google.

Ok, rant over.

I haven't seen anything like that (Nexus or GPE ROM for this device), unfortunately. I'd say just bite it and flash either CM11 or Slimkat, as they are IMO much less laggy and bloated then TouchWiz.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] locutusx:
Have you guys tried Lollipop yet? I have (Nexus) and OMG it's actually quite a few steps backward and definitely not ready for prime-time. In fact, I heard it's even worse on Tablets compared to Phones.

I'm GLAD this tablet is only on 4.4.2 -- I would love a 4.4.4 upgrade, but that's it. I do not want Lollipop to hit the Galaxy Tab Pro series until at least Android v5.1 or 5.2 so that some of the horrible design decisions have been reversed, or at least adjusted.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] tjupille:
I agree that Lollipop is not ready for prime time. I installed from the factory images on both a Nexus 7 and a Nexus 10 -- and the rolled back to KitKat. Biggest issue for me was unavailability of Xposed Framework.

Virgin mobile version is only single Sim. Did you flash the plain one from the website, then change it with a file manager after you originally flashed? When you you download the original ROM (from a computer) unzip, go to system-build.prop, delete, drag the downloaded build.prop into the system folder. Zip back up and make sure you are using the nodded version. Try this again, and if it doesn't work pm me and I can try to just send you a nandroid backup of it.

The OnePlus One really impresses me with there cm11s and cm12 roms, I like the stock Android feel with customization. The G3 stock feels a bit to slow and laggy to me. So the question is, how does the G3 holds up in the stable roms department against the OnePlus? Is there any stabel CM11 or CM12 roms? And is it as simple to install as on the OnePlus?

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stanley78:
Depending on the LG G3 you have, if it's a 2GB or 3GB, the experience is pretty much the same.

I have a one plus one and an LG G3 and i find the LG G3 software to be more colourfull, which is great on the screen.

The customization that the LG G3 offers without being rooted is huge, you can change almost everything.

In terms of speed, i have the 2GB. My LG doesn't seem so slow, I'm using a Custom Rom (AndroidNow) and it feels great.

Overall, i prefer the LG because the phone is more customizable and the quality of the product is a little bit better.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SnowJim:
Sounds easy, how will my version of phone hold up with custom roms(see version below)? What you are saying is really that there is not a big diffrence between the scene of custom roms for OnePlus One and the G3?

The version I got is LG-D855 32 GB. The software is Android 4.4.2, Kernel 3.4, Versionnumber : KVT49L.A1412000029, Softwareversion : V10I-EUR-XX, will this be a problem for the custom rom scene?

I haven´t used the G3 much yet but I have heard that the battery life are really bad? like a day or less of "normal" use and there is random restarts that probably depends on the hardware!? If thay only went with a regular 1080p screen :)

Im on the fenc about the OnePlus One, have a friend that got it with custom Lollipop rom and its REALLY smooth and fast! Much like the Nexus 5. But Im not so sure about the suport and the missing wireless chargin. The LTE are also not adapten to the Swedish LTE from what I read so problem with reception outside big cities will probably be a fact.
