[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gruuvin:
I'm new to the tab s, and I hope there is a stable and relatively bug free ROM that is not lollipop. Marshmallow is too new, so I hope for kitkat. I really like Cyanogenmod, but it looks like the earliest CM ROM is 12.x which, I believe, is android 5. Yuk. Not interested in terrible battery life. Any suggestion for a real solid, fast, debugged ROM for the SM-T700? I'm getting my new tablet tomorrow, and I'll be ready to root, backup and reROM right away. Hate the bloat! Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
Not quite sure what you mean about terrible battery life. How is that related to lollipop?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gruuvin:
Since a few days have passed, and I've done a lot more reading than the average person wants to do to answer these questions, and I've flashed a new ROM, I'll answer my own questions for others looking into similar questions.

It looks like many devices out there have suffered from the Android 4 to Android 5 updates, especially those forced by manufacturers. The biggest undesirable symptom being painfully reduced battery life. This is debated all over, especially since your mileage may vary. Since you can find these complaints much more frequently than with other Android upgrades, and since Google quickly released Android 6, it's safe to say there are legitimate issues here. Often people claim no such issues if upgrading to Android 5.1 (instead of Android 5.0) and/or if upgrading via a full wipe then clean flash. And since this is not explicitly the conventional update method for most users (again, mfg pushes update) then it's reasonable to assume updates from Android 4 to Android 5 may really just flat out "SUCK". Whether it's Google's fault or phone MFGs fault, it makes no difference to the end user; they will avoid the version of Android if they can't trust it.

As far as a better, stable, debloated KitKat (Android 4.4.x) ROM goes ...... sorry, too late. Pretty much all focus has been on getting Android 5 working properly. There are CyanogenMod 11 ROMs for the T700, but don't hold your breath for anything "official". I am now running CyanogenMod 12.1 (Android 5.1) and it seems stable with no issues so far and the battery life doesn't seem much worse than it was when running stock the TouchWiz KitKat, which was nice but heavily bloated. This is after root, TWRP, backup, full wipe, then flash CM12.1 and gapps.

My first choice ROM would have been LiquidSmooth, because a lot of praise was given it for being stable and bug-free, but all the download links are dead, the website(s) are pretty lame, and the last builds are almost a year old, so I gave CM a shot, since there are still recent nightly builds, and it is working well.

On a side note: Android 6 (M) third party ROMS are still yet to be stable on all sorts of devices out there, and Google is about to release Android N, possibly as Android 7.

Cmon Google, get it together. Slow down and do things right, and quit making things worse, like the exSDcard restrictions.

Hello everyone,

I'm new to the site, and I have a problem with my tablet.

I formatted the ESP (from cwm) in my Lenovo yoga tablet 2-1015L, after it's been soft bricked after an update.

The BIOS version is: Blade_21.x64.0005.R00.1504101447 FFD8_X64_R_2015_04_10_1448

Now I only can access the BIOS and the DnX Mode (Volum up+down).

I tried the Phone Flash tool lite, but it failed.

So, I appreciate any help.

Thanks

Is there a list anywhere of common apps or websites that aren't compatible with AdGuard? I've found a few that are broken when using AdGuard, and was able to whitelist those apps and sites, but curious if anyone has to put together a list of common ones.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] liquidguru:
Which apps are you having problems with? I found that the latest version, 2.5, breaks a lot of apps that were working under then previous version, 2.1.

I reinstalled 2.1 and now I'm happy again.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] avatar_adg:
Which apps exactly? It would be great if you report such apps to us.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] liquidguru:
I did.

If you use apps like BBC Sport you now get a blank black screen when exciting ('X' in top left corner to close). Insomdroid news reader now has in app ad bar on the bottom of the page. It's blank, but it's there. When reverting to 2.1 all these problems go away
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] avatar_adg:
I suppose this has something to do with the "empty placehodlers" issue:

https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardForAndroid/issues/402

When https filtering is turned on, AG blocks ads in a more "gentle" way returning an empty response instead of dropping the connection. It seems that sometimes instead of blocking ads you may see an empty placeholder.

Temporary solution: turn "filter dns requests" on.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] liquidguru:
Thanks. That seems to be working better now

Does anyone have issues with sending and receiving MMS messages when AdGuard is activated. I have been using AdGuard on both my Verizon and now my T-Mobile phones and while at my office, I have always had trouble send MMS messages from my office. It dawned on me that AdGuard may be causing problems so I disabled it yesterday and all of the sudden now I can send and receive MMS messages from my office. I'm curious if anyone else has had this issue.

Hi,

New user of S7 G930FD Dual SIM.

Old user of S4 i9505.

When using S4, I can change network mode. In other words, I force my S4 to connect to 4G/LTE only or LTE/WCDMA ONLY (it won't dropped to 2G), by using Samsung secret code *#2263#

But seems on S7, I can't force it using the same Samsung secret code even though the code is still there and accessible.

Somehow Samsung always force it to Automatic.

Any idea on to force S7 to force to 4G/LTE ONLY?

My 4G coverage in my country is good enough, I don't mind whereby I go to a location where there's no 4G Coverage at all.

Thanks in Advance.

[OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shamaji:
Hey guys currently I'm using Cyanogenmod 13 official! Few days back I flashed this ROM with TWRP 3.0.0.1 Recovery! The ROM is quite good but the main problem with this ROM is I can't root it! Whenever I flash the SuperSU zip from the recovery it flashes successfully but when my mobile boots up, my mobile stucks into the boot logo! And it keeps booting forever! How can I get rid of this problem!

Sorry for my Bad English! I hope you guys understood my problem!

Thanks in advance
[OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nasif69:
Which version of SuperSU did you flash?

Try flashing v2.71 beta.

Are you using custom kernel?
[OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shamaji:
Nope I'm not using any custom kernel! I flashed SuperSU 2.46 zip!
[OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nasif69:
Use the rom's inbuild root from developer options.

Or flash SuperSU v2.71 beta
[OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Firefly1337:
2.46 is pre Marshmallow, so bootloop is not only expected but certain.

Try using something that is actually for the version of your ROM.

Hey XDA fam, i'm pretty new to rooting, never really needed to or wanted to on my phone but my previous projects are over and im looking for something new to do with my old note 4 instead of trading it in for pennies to my carrier.

so pretty much looking to find some cool things I can do or some suggestions maybe. :D
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NWKENT:
First thing..if you are on Sprint, as your profile lists..then you probably have a CDMA device, maybe a SM-N910P..?

Do research on your variant, is there Root and a custom recovery available for your variant.?

Sprint and Verizon lock thier devices (usually) and they use CDMA devices, which aren't as up to have as much development as the GSM variant, which is what most all other carriers use..AT&T, Cricket, T-Mobile just to name a few..I think Page Plus uses CDMA, sister company to Verizon, and whom ever is to Sprint..

After you determine the fact mentioned above, then would determine your next step(s)..

I don't know what "that Odin build" means..Odin3 is the PC software used to flash Samsung devices of firmware and other modifications..

2. Extract it so you will have a bin file.

3. Get a SD card reader and your micro sd and connect it to your computer.

4. Use windisk32imager to image the .BIN file to your microSD.

5. Insert the microSD on your phone.

6. Put your battery in and hold DOWN + HOME + press PWR. This should get you into download mode.

Samsung SM-N910V BPA1 (no MBN)

7. Download the ODIN file.

9 & 10. NEVER DO WHATEVER YOU DID TO BRICK IT AGAIN.

This should get you back up and going and still converted to DEVELOPER mode. You will also be safely upgraded to BPA1. If you want root again.... just put TWRP back on you phone, flash supersu.zip and Multisystem kernel.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For those of you who really muffed things up, you will need to use these files and go all the way back to stock retail.
