[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] vmod32:
Just to clarify, from what I've been reading if you are on a VZW legacy plan with a 2 year contract you can stick with it and get contract upgrades like normal going forward. I have not seen anything official from VZW on this, but that's the word on the street and I really hope it proves to be true. I still have unlimited data on 4 of my 5 family plan lines and if they steal the contract upgrade subsidies from me I'll be f*#king pissed since it's a value of around $20/month per line.

On a side note I'm looking for a DE Note 4. If anyone has any leads let me know. Those things are like leprechauns these days.

If someone here with a DE wants to move to a different phone I have a contract upgrade available with Verizon so I can trade you any new phone for a DE Note 4.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] burbank:
Not to repeat what you just said but are you saying that if I get an unlocked phone designed for T-Mobile that I can run it on the Verizon network as long as I put the Verizon sim card in? That would be awesome as I want to buy a note 4 developer edition but can't find one.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] wy1d:
No - this doesn't work as Verizon has to white list the device for it to work on their network.

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rinoymacwan:
Hello

I have a Sony Xperia SP.

C5302

Android Version 4.3

Build Number 12.1.A.1.205

I have not rooted or unlocked bootloader or anything.

Its been over a year now since i bought it so the warranty is over.

My phone lags a lot although i have just a couple of apps in it.

I want to try a new rom with better ram management ,better battery performance and it should be smooth.

I dont have any experience in rooting or roms or any other stuff.

Please suggest some roms for my phone also guide to the basic rooting and unlocking bootloader article or thread.

I also read something about losing Bravia Engine ,DRM keys, Gracenote integration if i root or unlock my bootloader.I'd like to know more about it.

Requirements for a rom:

Smooth performance

Better battery

Better ram management

Also I prefer a clean rom,stock android like a nexus maybe.

I posted in XDA Assist and someone there told me to write it here.

Thanks in advance.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phoenix854:
Okay follow these steps(dont miss any!!!)

1. Rooting your device

a.Install towel root app (google it you will get it easy)

b.Install super user from play store and open it.Now install the binaries.

c.Go to developer options and enable Debugging mode.

d.Install recoveries.

2.Unlocking bootloader

a.Use TA Partition tool to backup TA partition.

b.Flashtools->Unlock bootloader.

Flash any lollipop ROM through Philz recovery.

Btw I used temasek and I assure you it is good in terms of performance,battery,ram management.

Good luck;)

[Nexus 10 General] case-sensitive:
I would like to flash this latest image on my rooted stock 4.3, with the latest twrp 2.8.7 installed. It's a long time since I flashed an image so I'd like to double check:

From twrp, do I first wipe everything and then flash

image-mantaray-lmy48i.zip

followed by UPDATE-SuperSU? In particular, do I need to flash the bootloader.imag that comes with the new image?

THANKS!
[Nexus 10 General] tathagatab:
Don't unpack the zip. Just point twrp at the zip file and ask to install. And you don't need to wipe, because the installation wipes everything anyway.

Lollipop takes a long time booting the first time, so be patient and give it 30 minutes at least.

Cheers!
[Nexus 10 General] 3DSammy:
I used the factory image yesterday to update but installed it using the Flashfire app instead of TWRP. I only flashed boot (not bootloader) and system images then cleared Dalvik (all in one sequence). Flashfire automatically reinstalls SuperSU. I did was on both a Nexus 5 and 10.

I did not flash recovery as the TWRP I had installed was already the latest version. Using this method I preserved my user data and all my settings. All I needed to do was reapply anything I'd previously modified in the /system partition (remove/freeze bloat ware, install busybox, V4A, SuperSU policies ... Etc). I was up and running in no time. Hardly a blip in my day.

I still used TWRP when I really mess up (device soft bricked) but Flashfire has become my goto system update tool on all my Android devices including my Samsung one which has a locked boot loader. It is developed by Chainfire the creator of SuperSU.

Hi!

I have the same problem, ever since i think when upgrading from kitkat to lollipop.

My model XT1033 - Bootloader 41.18 - Rom 12.1-20150815-NIGHTLY-falcon (latest official nightly)

I had the Galaxy S6 for about a month, and when I got it the phone was already on the latest firmware unfortunately. I started to get the purple dots on my front facing camera about two weeks ago. I talked to Samsung and they said I could ship my phone in and then they would ship it back (4 days) so I talked to a Verizon rep online. They said they were replacing these phones free of charge. They overnighted my a Galaxy S6 on OE2! Was able to root and install Clean Rom just fine. If any of you have the purple dot issue tell Verizon! Might get a rootable phone :p

Ever since I put in a 2gig memory card my 8525 has gotten very slow to wake up. Without the card it comes out of sleep almost instantly. With the card installed it takes 2-3 seconds. Any ideas on what might be causing this issue?

I'm running the vp3G v2.0 WM6 ROM and the memory card is a SanDisk 2.0gb MicroSD.

Also I have to reboot the 8525 after inserting the card to get it to recognize it. Is this normal?

Clear Skies,

Dave
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ThaiM:
Seems like something you have installed needs to access it on the card first. Check what programs you have that is most likely to run in the background and it's probably installed on the card and not the device.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] AZGhosthawk:

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] colinkhalid:
Same problem (solved)

I had the same problem and found that the advice of ThaiM was correct.

The offending application in my case was Garmin Q that seem to need to access the micro SD before allowing the phone to wake up.

Now wake up is quick but the unistalled Garmin Q is complaining that it can't find the garmin.exe. probably something in the startup folder of registry, should be able to sort that out.

Thanks for the solution

Battery life however has been what I liked most about flashing this rom (naturally ?). My Edge has been off the charger for nearly 20 hours with Bluetooth on the entire time for Android Wear and a weird snapchat wakelock that maintained a network connection for 5 hours.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] smoosani97:
Unlocked Phones: If you have unlocked your phone, you might run into problems with 5.1.1. There have been reports of phones stuck in a boot-loop when upgrading from 5.0.2 -> 5.1.1 when the phone has been unlocked or EFS/IMEI has been tampered with. Combine this with the new "FRP LOCK" (Factory Reset Protection) in 5.1.1, and you might find yourself with a complete brick with no warranty. This issue may or may not have anything to do with rooting or custom firmware

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] DarkZal:
Don't leave us hanging man! Were you getting better results using 2.1 vs 2.3? Also is this ROM even still relevant for 2016? I also have to ask if any of you guys are using Greenify/Amplify/Xposed modules while on this ROM? Would those even be necessary to improve the battery life or are all your screenshot samples taken without any of the aforementioned apps installed? Just really curious about this ROM since I am stock and rooted with xposed and greenify installed on 5.1.1 G920T and I believe my firmware is up to date at OJC. I am only getting about 2 to 3 hours of SOT max with auto brightness and the phone lasts me 14 hours on standby. Looking to see if this will up my SOT as well as my standby time. :)

I'm new to Android have also a iPhone 6 Plus 64GB and just got the Galaxy S5 which I was able to unlock.

The first thing I did was to search Google how to block any OTA updates and I did set the settings in Google Play ->Settings->General->Auto update apps=Do not aoto-update apps and on the Galaxy S5 -> Settings on the phone.

Other Settings: Unknown sources = On Developer Options -> USB debugging = ON, No other locks

The Lollipop upgrade was installed anyways, what the f@5k is that?!!! Now I'm real mad as the phone was on 4.4.4 and could be rooted.

Now my question is there a way to downgrade or root this phone or do I have to sleep a looooong time?

Hmm just don't get it what's the difference of klte.tar vs. gt-klte.tar

Anyways on my phone I get an error message that it can not write that file, seems to be that that area is write protected by this FW.

Well, the whole point of the EPD screen is that it is always on. If your goal is to just hide the information on the EPD, you should use one of the (Yota)covers. You can place them from Yotahub by adding a new page and choosing one from the "Covers" tab.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] difto:
Since Lollipop 5.1, Android optimize the apps at every reboot (359 apps), it takes around 20 minutes each time. My phone is encrypted and it does that with or without SD card. Did anyone notice a similar behavior?

1) Tried to remove SD

2) Tried to clear Dalvik

No changes.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Charkatak:
On my phone a window shows up on a reboot that Android is optimizing apps, but it takes 3 sec. Your seems like you have just upgraded Android OS and it prepares apps for that. It could be that update didn't really go well. I have never encrypted my phone, so that could be something... If nothing helps, factory reset could work, but make sure that your sd card is decrypted before reset(if you have it encrypted too)

I did not have xposed when it began... I have root though
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] difto:
The issue with encryption is that the recovery cannot access the data partition and so cannot fix file permissions which could be an explanation for the issue.

Though rarely it only optimize 1 app usually it's all of them...
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Pyres:
Slightly different (and worse) here, phone encrypted and everytime I reboot it hangs, reboots itself and then optimizes each and every app.. rebooting has become an agony
