[Galaxy Note 4 General] Apurtuce:
Hey everyone!

When I had purchased my Note 4 (SM-N9108v) in China, I had not realized that it would not include GAPPS. When I had received the phone, I had felt helpless because I was not able to find any threads anywhere which helped solve my problem. Recently, I figured out how to do this and successfully installed GAPPS. I thought I could help others with this problem.

Alright lets start!

Step 1: Rooting your device and installing CWM

Root your device! - This wont work without root. Don't expect to get GAPPS without root.

You must also install CWM - CWM will flash the GAPPS to your phone.

Here is a video tutorial on how to do both of these: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MC2iUtm6oVQ

Step 2: Installing the GAPPS

Now the easy part!

Download the GAPPS which correspond to your version -

4.4.4 Kitkat: http://highonandroid.com/android-apps/download-android-4-4-4-gapps/

5.x.x Lollipop: http://xdaforums.com/android/software/reborn-gapps-5-t3074660

DO NOT EXTRACT THE FILE

Put the unextracted file into your phone in a directory you can navigate to.

After this, boot your phone into recovery mode. To do this, you press and hold the home button, power button and volume button at the same time.

You will be presented with the CWM menu. Navigate to "Install zip from sd card". Select it and locate your GAPPS that you had previously put into your phone. Follow through within this menu and select install and press yes. After this, CWM will start to flash these GAPPS onto your phone. Once this is done, navigate to back on the CWM menu and return to the main CWM screen. Then select reboot phone. Your phone will now reboot and start optimizing apps. After this, the GAPPS should be installed! :D:D:D

I hope this guide helped you! If you were confused by the above, feel free to drop a reply :)

[LG G Pad 7 Questions & Answers] pwkim21:
I got a pad from Sprint some time ago and noticed it is v430 and Cyanogen is v410. Has anyone had any luck with installing a custom rom on it? The OOB G Pad is insanely slow.
[LG G Pad 7 Questions & Answers] AboveUnrefined:
I have the lk430 as well and there is nothing out there. I suspect that the 20 other siblings this tablets has (exaggeration) is why we might not ever see a way to put CM on this particular model. I'm upset about that but I guess all the lk430 owners are going to be without cm on their tablet.

It's silly too because you'd think that given the siblings of this thing has it you'd at least see _something_ but nope!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] br0k3nr00t:
Not sure what has happened. Rooted with Odin3.7/CF. Everything running great. Titanium Pro installed. Knox frozen.

Wanted to install CM ROM. Ran TWRP app to set custom recovery. Said nothing found. Ran install of latest image. Install unsuccessful. Only option after that was to reboot into download mode and reflash from the xda forum files linked above. Now it seems to be stuck as unrooted and I can't get SU/root back.

Is this thing trying to flash itself now? Anyone have a custom recovery image and settings to use with Odin? Or is this something else? Sorry for the n00b problems/questions. :'( Any help is greatly appreciated. I'm trying to get this set up for a friend, and obviously, Android/Linux is not my specialty.

Also:

Tried flashing to this and then tried running the CF-Root again. No root. No glory.

Not sure what else to do at this point. I had root before and then CM instructed to run a custom recovery before installing the ROM. So I tried that with TWRP and failed. Now it seems like it is unable to flash the CF-Root. It goes through the process then says restoring stock recovery before rebooting.

If anyone has any advice, that would be great. I'm sure it is something stupid, simple, and outside the scope of my knowledge. Thanks.

Also:

I booted into recovery mode after the TWRP failed. No custom recoveries were listed.

Originally, I tried this and rooting failed. I still ran the custom recovery with that package. Then I ran the files linked in the first paragraph above and got root. Those instructions never mentioned running a recovery after flashing to root. Is this where things got messed-up? Should I have run a recovery after that? Or was the recovery from the first attempt at getting root still on the partition? I'm so confused. :(

Hello i have just bought a EE rook 4g well from EE and was wondering

If someone could correct me on this the rook has some decent specs for a sub £50 device

But the things that stand out the most is the quadcore 1ghz 64bit cpu and the 1gb ram

Now whats boggling me is theres no root method for this device yet but i have activated

The developer options to turn off animations etc but becase this device has a 64bit chip should i use the force gpu rendering as the gpu on this is a mali 400 wich is old now but it has a 64bit cpu??? So should i use it or what not i havnt activated it yet but just would like peoples thoughts on this

OK, I have looked all over for this cab, I think it was by Xtera or something very close that had slider controls for bass and treble. I had it on my Wizard, and had it saved on my backup drive forever until I deleted the stuff for my BueAngel and Wizard since I never thought I would go back to a windows based machine after getting hooked on my Moto EZX phones, (A1200 and Rokr E6). So now I am with a Hermes waiting on a Kaiser and missing the tone controls for audio playback.

Any help would be appreciated.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mjmplus:
Has anyone ever heard of when plugging in a battery or power source to this note 2 of having the camera flash turning on and staying on all the time? have check for blown resisters and such and seen no damage. Do not know if there was any water damage or not, but have cleaned the main board just in case. Phone turns on almost normally. sometimes if will show as if the battery is charging when only the battery is inserted without the charger plugged in. Anywise it turns on and acts normally. But camera flash stays on.

thanks
[XDA Assist] sheepishchrist:
OK... so I know better, but I totally screwed up my Core Prime by trying to root it and install a custom recovery. And I thought it would be no big deal, right? I figured I would just flash it back to stock and carry on. WRONG. I have been all over the internet looking for the stock ROM, a rooting solution that works, and I can't find anything.

The problem is, the specific model I have is SM-G360T1- which is the GSM / MetroPCS piggybacked on Tmobile version. And I can't find ANYTHING on it besides other people like me crying in the wilderness about the lack of root methods, custom ROMs, inability to flash it back to stock, etc.

So, I have a huge favor to ask- would one of you XDA badasses be willing to maybe cobble together and upload a stock Odin file for me, if you happen to have one of these Galaxy phones sitting around in an unbroken state? Or, failing that, tell me what I can do to fix it? I can't get the phone into anything but download mode- it won't boot, won't go into recovery. Kies is blissfully unaware of it. I can't even connect it as an ADB device- download mode is it. I have traveled the internet for the past eight or so hours trying to get a clue as to how to fix this, and nothing.

Please help me, if you can find the time and inclination. Thank you.
[T-Mobile LG G3] hungry_finch:
First let me just list my setup for reference: LGG3 d851 (t-mobile) running cloudy g3 2.5. I just flashed cloudy g3 yesterday and i'm having some trouble with group texts. When I send a group text it gets sent to the recipients individually and not as a group. Same thing happens when my friends send a group text to me (I get the message separately but not in the group.) I saw this post on reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/LGG3/comments/39mmat/group_messaging_not_working/ that said to edit some things in the build.prop file but i'm not sure if its the same for the t-mobile version. I would like to know for sure before I go messing around in there.
[T-Mobile LG G3] bofiana:
I'm not running Cloudy currently but when I did, I had no issues with group mms and I performed the exact same changes to build.prop but instead of ATT, I obviously had TMO. I say give it a try. U can always save a backup copy of ur original build.prop just in case u need to revert back. Plus, with these changes, ur data icons will actually show as LTE and not as HS or whatever it shows with Cloudy's settings.
[T-Mobile LG G3] hungry_finch:
I made the changes to build.prop and I got the LTE icon to show up but the mms still doesn't work properly. I tried different texting apps like textra but still no luck.

the volume slider is at max, but it still seems kind of low. trying to find something simple that doesn't require root to help boost the call volume of the s5
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adam_ky:
Lookup mixer_profiles.xml

There are many guides around.

I'm pretty sure in order to boost call volume, you would need to adjust "handset".

When boosting volumes in mixer_profiles.xml only raise the number by like 2 at a time. A small amount increases the volume by a good amount and too much will cause distortion
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rakuu:
Almost 100% certain you need root to edit that.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adam_ky:
Oh yes I'm sorry, root is required. I read the thread wrong.

I don't know of a non root way to do this.

Is root not possible for you?

I used to have a g900a that had the dreaded ota.. Sucked. But if your phone wasn't updated like mine and can be rooted, I would do that
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x000x:
I haven't found anything for non root either, but haven't given up just yet. Maybe there is a calling app that might could do something.

I did find a setting while you are on a call with someone to boost the call volume, but it is not a permanent toggle. you have to do it manually for every call, which is irksome.

Hi guys (and gals),

I'm looking for an app that will let me see images in mms threads on my phone. The reason is I want to delete a few of these to save space, but also because I have an app that automatically downloads mms images - and even if I delete the image it will just redownload it until I remove it from the thread.

Any good suggestions?

Cheers :)

I use stock kernel due to stability for me personally but have decided to go ahead and tinker with just a few clock, governor and other settings. Anyone do this as well? I use Trickster Mod and kept everything stock outside of putting Max/Min to 300/1036800, putting Governor to Conservative, disabling MP Decision and lowering the GPU clock to one lower which is believe is 389. Doesn't really seem to lag but EVER so slightly more if I am looking for it. Disabling MP decision is DEFINITELY a must for my personal setup or I'd get a much lesser increase in batter life. Anyone have any suggestion or insight? To answer the question beforehand, yes. . . I want to stay stock kernel due to stability and not having to worry about running into unknown issues on another when I can just revert stock back to stock settings and everything will work again IF I run into any issues.

flash stock firmware.

go to sammobile.com

Search for grand 2 firmware

then download it.

The firmware must base on your country.

after that flash using odin.

after complete. Remove battery then insert it again.

go to recovery

wipe everything

then reboot system

wait about 10 minutes

congrats your phone is normal again
[Galaxy Grand 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shane_Picardo:
Solution to your problem:

You will need to download the NK1 version of kitkat 4.4.2 stock firmware.

1) install samsung kies or samsung usb drivers so that your PC will detect your phone.

2) Switchoff your phone first and put it in download mode by pressing volume down and home button and power button at the same time.

3) connect your phone to your PC through the usb cable and start odin. (The com port turns blue in odin which means phone is detected).

4) In odin, check the "Nand erase all" in the checkbox and then click on "AP" buttion and select the "G7102DDUBNK1_G7102ODDBNK1_G7102DDUBNK1_HOME.tar" file.

5) Click the start button and wait for 5 mins till the OS is installed.

6) After installation, on your phone it might show 'memory damaged' and 'erase memory'. Don't worry, nothing is damaged or serious, just click to reset and everything will be fine.

7) Done! :)

I have provided the NK1 version link to you from my google drive account:

Hi guys.

I decided to open up this thread to share with you my experience of how to pair samsung galaxy gear 1 SM-V700 with your Samsung device after updating your watch to Tizen OS and your device to Lollipop.

I experienced massive battery drain on the watch like 10% every hour. So:

1. Factory resetted the watch.

2. Tried to connect to Gear manager. Failed on waiting for confirmation from gear manager. Many times and many trials.

How to:

1. Uninstall gear manager completely from your Samsung phone.

2. Unpair your watch from bluetooth settings in phone.

3. Reboot your phone.

4. Open up samsung galaxy apps and download gear manager again.

5. Open up gear manager. It will tell you you have to update the software and it starts installing modules.

Once done:

6. Reboot your phone. Reboot your watch.

7. Open bluetooth settings in phone device and make bluetooth visible. Tick the option.

8. Open gear manager (while bluetooth is visible) and it will search for gear.

9. The setup then will guide you to complete the pairing.

10. Done.

Now. For the battery drain issue I noticed it is because of Tizen apps I installed from Samsung apps such as (fleksy keyboard, watch styler , look behind, etc...). So keep your watch with as less apps as possible.

And manage your notification apps to have only the ones you need.

Results :

For the past 2 hours, watch battery dropped only 1% in two hours.

Good luck.

How do you completely uninstall the Gear Manager?
