Use instructions step 8,

Here's a link to my folder on my google drive just use the most recent files.

You can use any ROM that is ktle. Im currently using cm 14 in the unified android thread. If you want something more stable but like cyanogenmod then go with the cm 13 in the albinoman thread. I use the smaller version of gapps like nano.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rodigal:
Thanks but I figured it out why I was getting that error.

I had to go to settings>security>reactivation lock and unchecked reactivation lock...

Okay guys

What's the catch with this xposed installer?

I am on mokee and is it safe to install xposed

If yes ...thanks

if no? Why?

Thanks guys

Probably going to buy the Shield later today, but would be interested in thoughts and input from this board. Thanks
[Shield Tablet General] uuang:
My wife has a tab pro 8.4, which has a great screen and decent processor. The tab s is obviously a step up from that but I can't imagine its better than the shield. The main benefits for the tab s are the screen (best in class) and it probably gets better battery life.

The shields console mode, grid, shield controller and speakers are much bigger benefits to me. Coupled with decent battery life and nice screen its a better buy to me.
[Shield Tablet General] nrage23:
I have both and I am selling the Tab S 8.4. They are about equal in battery life. The Tab S has a great screen but it is Samsung and will get very few updates. The Shield Tablet is way more flexible with more frequent updates.
[Shield Tablet General] Nintonito:
Get the shield. Tab S is just another of the 50 tablet they put out a year. The screen is attractive but horribly inaccurate. Battery life is better but you pay for it with a slower chipset and touchwiz. Plus the price is higher.
[Shield Tablet General] NZtechfreak:
Tab S - slower SoC driving a higher resolution. God only knows when it might get Lollipop. Easily the Shield.
[Shield Tablet General] Arun01:
Hate to hijack this thread but is Wi-Fi better with the current updates now?
[Shield Tablet General] Nintonito:
I have no issues on 2.4GHz wifi, or WPA corporate WiFi either. Signal is pretty reasonable.
[Shield Tablet General] nocaldawg:
I went with the Shield. The screen is not quite as good as the Galaxy S, but the screen still looks fabulous. Performance is off the hook and Lollipop is quite nice. Had I opted for the S, I am sure I would have enjoyed it as well.<br/>
[Shield Tablet General] Nintonito:
Good choice. Although on a side note I think the Tab S display is really misunderstood. Sure it pops out nicely, but color accuracy is completely off and generally speaking the content is not displaying accurately. The shield has the advantage with an sRGB style calibration.
[Shield Tablet General] bipoler:
The shield is the obvious choice
[Shield Tablet General] kenkiller:
I have both, and I have to say - STAY AWAY FROM THE TAB S. It's an epic lagfest once you start installing your apps. Right now it's relegated to my wife, and even she can't stand it. :(
[Shield Tablet General] BlackDave:
I came from a Note 8.0 and I have a Galaxy S5. While the Shield's srcreen isn't has bright and colorful as the amoled on my phone, it's a definite step up from my Note 8.0. The note tablets don't use the Amoled display and have a much lower resolution. I was surprised to find out my girlfriend's Note 10.1 had a lower screen resolution than the note 8.0. I enjoy my 1920x1200 display.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] yahknow1:
I see tons of case threads but never a thread on holsters. ;) I always find myself coming back to using a holster and so far the best (by far IMHO) is Seidio.

I would love to see a holster made for the Ringke SLIM Case or the Spigen Thin Fit. Anyone know of a great slim-fitting case/holster combo please post it here :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Noxious Ninja:
I have this holster/kickstand case combo for the S3 and am hoping to find something similar for the Note 4. Seidio Surface/Surface Holster looks pretty nice, but way pricier than what I have now. My main concern is I've read a couple of reviews saying that the metal kickstand blocks NFC.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] WizeGuyDezignz:
Wow, so I see Seidio hasn't dropped their prices in the several years since I actually bought a case from them. Companies like them have huge balls to keep their prices this high in this day and age where people have more of a clue what phone cases should actually cost.

I'm shocked that companies like this are still in business for selling a piece of plastic for over $30. But someone must be buying them. :what:
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Noxious Ninja:
Yeah, for that price I could get the ZeroLemon extended battery which comes with a case and holster!
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mty msi:
Seidio is expensive but purchasing through Amazon or right now using their 25% off code to buy from their website helps out.

Good through Monday code is NOVEMBER25
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] yahknow1:
I know I help keep them afloat! ...But like others have said, if you wait a month that $50 dollar combo can be had on Amazon for $25-$30
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] nytmare1:
Thanks for bringing this topic up. I've been doing a little research on this myself as there are a couple cases currently available for our N4s that I like, but unfortunately most of them don't have holsters available. When I had my GS3, I used a Seidio case/holster combo and really liked their product, but I particularly liked the holster. The case I settled on for my N4 is the one produced by Caseology (see link below so you know which one I'm talking about), so the search began to find a Seidio holster that might fit it. I contacted both Caseology and Seidio to get dimensions for their respective cases. Below are the dimensions they sent (in inches):

Caseology: 6.19 (L) x 3.31 (W) x 0.44 (H)

Seidio Dilex: 6.23 (L) x 3.35 (W) x 0.57 (H)

Seidio Surface: 6.15 (L) x 3.23 (W) x 0.52 (H)

Seidio Capsa: 6.20 (L) x 3.40 (W) x 0.60 (H)

I decided on the holster that can be purchased with the Dilex case based on the dimensions. It arrived today and I'm very happy to find that it works very well with the Caseology case! The fit is snug, but certainly not overly so and the spring clip of the holster closes on the case and keeps it quite secure. I'll have to see how things go over the next few days to get some practical use out of each, but I don't anticipate being disappointed in the case, holster, or how they work together.

http://www.amazon.com/Caseology-Sam...d=1417812636&sr=8-3&keywords=caseology+note+4

Edit: Just noticed that Caseology hasn't figured out that Verizon is special and has to have their bottom left mic hole in a different location than the other carriers. A Dremel with a very small diamond sanding bit fixed it quite nicely. It looks like it came that way.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] yahknow1:
Yea, I've done the same thing in the past, use Seidio holster with Ringke case. I had to file the inside of the spring clip to get it the correct shape, but other than that it worked good. I just can't figure out why no other companies fab a good holster!
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] norbarb:
I love mine : http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OGU9HZY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] xeks:
Can you post some pics if possible? I'm getting the ringke slim armor and am semi interested in the spring clip from seidio. Thanks!
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] nytmare1:
I won't be able to tonight, but will try to get some pics posted tomorrow night. I've been carting around my N4 in the Caseology case using the Seidio Dilex holster for three days and it's work very well so far. It's bit of a snug fit at the base of the holster, but not overly so. Actually, I like the fact that it's held in there a little on the tight side. It keeps from wiggling around.

If the dimensions of the Ringke case you're looking to get is anything close to the Dilex or the Caseology cases... you should be good with the Dilex holster.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] xeks:
According to the site, it adds 1.5mm thickness. Not sure if that's all the way around or not.
[Networking] tsumi83:
hey guys, just wanted to know if anyone else is having a problem connecting to the internet. moreso through GPRS

I reset my phone and I know I have all the settings correct but I CANNOT browse pages. I am connected and have 4 bars but I cannot use IE to surf (or firefox for that matter) I cannot use my gmail settings on Poutlook either.

Any ideas? I had it working a few nights ago but now nothing....

its the prepaid svc so maybe they found a way to fix the tzones=free internet thing... hope not

anyhoo, thanks guys
[Networking] tleader:
Same problem

I too have the same problem with T-Mobile. I can no longer surf the web on my 8125. Worked great last week ,but will no longer work this week. I have tried to reset and reinstall the setting, but to no avail. Maybe T-Mobile has finally closed that loophole or the system is under repair. My phone shows full signal and the "E" symbol for edge, but will not work.

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuwari316:
The Tab s (8.4) is a great tablet in my opinion when it comes to build quality and the great screen however with the shield tablet you will most likely get a lighter software offering and especially where i live (Qatar) you won't be able to easily get it with lte.

I think the speakers on the shield are louder even though the one on the tab s is good quality just not very loud. Gaming and battery life is also of course going to be better in the shield tablet (i think).

What ever you choose both options are very good in my opinion.

Good luck
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moirae:
I was going through this over the last few days. It's really hard not to choose the shield. It has better hardware and price hands down. I think the only real pro the tab s has over the shield is the screen and res. It's actually pretty depressing that samsung is charging so much for it. With that said, you can get brand new tab s 8.4's for 350 now which is only 50$ more than the shield. It really comes down to what you want to do with your tablet. I realized I don't really game on my tablet and I use it largely for videos/web/reading. Tab s is better for those things because of the screen.

I do think the shield is the overall better tablet though. I just really wanted that amoled screen and I found refurb 10.5's for 330 with 1 year warranty from a good ebay seller.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aldrighi:
I strongly recommend you go to a store and check both screens personally.

You will easily decide wich one to pick despite all reviews you had seen.

go... now! the 10'' for sure.

if you already has a galaxy note or s4 s5 sidesync is a must have.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AMoosa:
The stylus on the shield should also be a consideration if it matters to you.

But remember - the screen is the one part of the device that you always use whenever you use the device. And the screen on the tab s really is unbeatable

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frostmore:
had the tab s and sold it off.

if u are getting the 8 inch model.forget it as its uses an exynos chip.so no cm lovin for the t705...in fact the only cm available now is for the wifi models.the rest are all tw roms.and chefs are not plenty either.

if u wan similar hardware,look at sony z3 tablet.or if u got the cash,get the qualcom dev tablets which qualcom is selling.

the shield is as good as the tab s.

The whole process is a bit over simplified for a dummy of my kind. I have and HTC One e8 but i can use other sim cards(non 4G) but i cannot have mobile data connection using my 4G sim and every other thing works. Booting to bootloader shows that my phone is locked. How do i change that to "unlocked"??

Plus the terms used in the Steps above have me confused as am new to this android and rooting and flashing. Is there any way to make the steps a bit easier to follow. If any one has tried this process and it worked could try and post a detailed description of what they did.

Thanks in advance
[HTC One E8] OMJ:
bootloader being locked is different than SIM locked, which I assume you're talking about...

this method is kinda outdated....there are newer methods that are much easier:

even though these methods are posted in HTC 10 & M9, they will still work for M8/E8

[HTC One E8] OMJ:
since u flashed the full firmware, the stock boot & recover was overwritten, if u were rooted & made any changes to /system, including mounting /system in twrp, then a stock boot would prevent u from booting.

hold power + volume down until screen turns off, then let go & hold vol up

once in bootloader, you'll need to flash twrp, then boot to twrp & flash supersu or magisk
