[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
Flash the tar version of TWRP for your phone using Odin. You can root by flashing supersu from TWRP.

CWM is very outdated and cannot be used to flash current custom ROMSs.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hclassic:
Many thanks, I've moved over to TWRP and it seems much better.

I also tried to find a more "suitable" (reliable) ROM and chose Resolution Remix, especially as services kept stopping on Slim6.

So now I can get to recovery mode, but still I have issues. Mainly...

a) I've so far failed to flash a compatible Gapps file

b) I've flashed supersu and busybox (Root_SuperSU.0.98-Busybox.1.20.2-signed.zip) but root is still not available. Sometimes I see a "Grant" prompt but it hangs for ages when I grant. The SuperSU app can be seen, but is not responsive. Titanium Backup responds eventually to confirm that Root is not available.

c) Downloading from the Playstore is problematic (sometime very slow to download, usually extremely slow to install - go for a walk type of slow!)

d) Typically the pre-installed applications "stop" shortly/immediately after trying to start them (for example, "Browser", "Clock",...), but then appear after "OK"ing the Close infor box

e) Is my choice of ROM reasonable? And/or is there a ROM which has ROOT "baked in"? (Or, should I go back to JellyBean as being more suitable for a Note2?)

f) Is there some "fine tuning" to the flash process that I need to learn about?

Any hints/tips would be welcome, and many thanks for your initial suggestion to move to TWRP
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
Is the ROM pre-rooted? If yes, don't flash supersu.

You performed a full wipe, including data, before flashing the ROM?

Phone is running these latest bootloader and modem?

Various versions of gapps are here and flash there version that matches your ROM and processor: http://opengapps.org
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hclassic:
Many thanks for your further questions/prompts...

a) Yes, I believe I had done a full wipe before flashing, but haven't touched bootloader and modem so they may well be "old"

b) More reading suggests that Cyanogenmod 13 is a very popular ROM, so flashed this with TWRP

c) Found that with this ROM there were no issues when flahsing openGapps

d) Eventually discovered/realised that CM13 is pre-rooted (but has to be enabled in Settings) and that flashing supersu was causing problems

So, with the benefit of hindsight, if I'd used TWRP/CM13/OpenGapps without flashing supersu, it would have been straightforward! I've certainly learned a lot and you supporting questions have led me to what seems to be a nice, stable implementation of Marshmallow - thanks again.

I'm still looking for a quick/easy way to take a screenshot (just used a palm-swipe before), and a free "real" FM radio, but pretty much everything else works.

Great!!!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
Glad you got the phone working on CM. We're all here to help and learn from each other.

Last time I looked, which was a while ago, there was no custom AOSP or CM rom that supported radio functions. If you want the FM radio, look into custom ROMs based on a stock Samsung kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] Aloupha:
I just got an SM-T350, and I notice that there are no light indicator while the device is charging. In fact, I see no light indicator at all for notices (i.e. you got a new email, text message, etc...)

Is there something wrong with the tablet, or is this by design?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] toro143:
Hey Folks,

First timer here. I'm a refugee from the cyanogenmod boards. I'm a novice at this but did manage to root and install twrp and use the cm nightlies for a couple of years. I own the S3 t999 and have been using d2tmo on Metropcs (NYC) ever since cm10. I know the d2tmo is the tmobile but it has always worked for metro pcs.

Anyway, sometime in mid December, I foolishly updated to cm14.1 from 13.0-20161118-nightly-d2tmo without realizing I was actually upgrading the android version. As you can imagine, without upgrading the gapps, my phone went bonkers. I was barely able to get it back to working order. It has not been the same since and as others have noted, all the cm13 nightlies for d2tmo from cyanogenmod are no longer there and obviously there will be no more further improvements of cm14 . Those last nightlies are too buggy for me, even with the correct gapps.

So my question is, what are my options now ? Are there alternate projects that work like the cm builds ?

So SlimRoms has some builds. Would these work like the CM builds? Would I just install it from twrp , does it matter that I'm going from a CMbuild to a SlimRom ?

I'm looking for something that will continue to improve, easy to update.

Thank you any feedback, sorry I could not post links

[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gidzdlcrz:
Its nice to be back posting again. Anyway i do have a problem. I recently purchased tab s2 t713. I found out that the stockrom was based in china. So i download a stock rom based in UK (BTU)

Now im flashing the stock rom to my brandnew t713 then after a while it says fail due to the FRP lock. So i soft bricked my device. I google everything about FRP lock but on how to turn it off. But my next step actually requires to use the tab and remove my google account. Now i cant use my tab. Tried installing smart switch but its not supported.

What else can i do to turn it off? So i can install fresh stock rom.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gidzdlcrz:
Can someone help me?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjupille:
I did the same thing. Finally fixed after trying a lot of things but alas I didn't take notes. What I *think* worked was to reboot into recovery:

- hold power/vol-down/home until screen shuts off then slide my finger over to vol-up (while still pressing power & home) until it reboots.

Once in recovery I restored the original ROM, turned OEM Unlock on and was able to use Odin to put the new ROM in successfully.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gidzdlcrz:
Tried that already but no to avail. The recovery mode somewhat missing.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gidzdlcrz:
Nevermind. I returned it to the store. Maybe it was a sign to wait for Tab S2? Lol.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Bl00dRunzC0ld:
Haven't done anything like this in a while, not up it, so figured I'd ask here.

I have a G930R US Cellular S7 that I'm using on T-Mobile, I'd like to get rid of the US Cellular splash screen, the little bit of bloat, and actually have signal bars (since for some reason they're blank). Can I flash the unlocked G930U firmware to this phone. If yes, which firmware would I download from SamMobile since there's quite a few on there?

My current baseband number is G930R4TYS4APK1 if that matters. On November security patch.

Edit: disregard. I was able to flash the G930U firmware.

Sitting at school, no data plan or Wi-Fi and desire to text with your mates? Try WiFON!

It may sound hard to believe but it really works without the Internet. You can chat, share statuses, send files, ...

With internet connectivity it will be a bit faster but you still have the option to write to someone in your neighbourhood who only has our app but no Internet at all.

Take a look at http://www.wifon.sk or download the app from the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.croconaut.ratemebuddy

It works great also on dormitories, cut off cottages or on a concert with heavy signal drops.

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flhthemi:
So I did a little digging and found some part numbers for the battery in an SM-T700 US version XAR?

This site http://www.batterybay.net/Battery-for-Samsung-Galaxy-Tab-S-8-4-p/samsung-cs-smt700sl.htm shows a black battery and if you scroll the page to the part numbers listed these appear to be Samsung's part numbers :

Part number: Samsung EB-BT705FBC, Samsung EB-BT705FBE, Samsung EB-BT705FBU

This site shows the same part numbers but no photo: http://www.samsungparts.com/Products/Parts_and_Accessories/PID-GH43-04211A.aspx?model=SM-T700NTSSXAR

And yet another site: http://bigupgadgets.com/battery-eb-...t700-sm-t705-01-007625.html?fee=18&fep=183624

Also shows the battery as being black not white...

I opened up my case and intended to replace the battery with one of the suggestions I've found here, but upon inspecting my cables directly connected to the battery I found one was not fully inside the plastic adapter that locks into the tablet's male connection. I reinserted it fully and reconnected the battery to the tablet, put it on the charger, and it's been two full days without any issues. No extreme battery level fluctuations, sudden power downs, green lines, or black screens. I ordered the second battery just in case, but it looks like it won't be necessary for some time.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Dear people at xda,

I've been using OmegaDroid ROM (see omegadroid DOT co ) for more than five years now on different phones. First I want to say thank you to all (you?) developers for creating and improving this great operating system! I bought all the apps to support you, e.g. OmegaDroid Pro.

Here is my question:

Android 5 comes with two power saving modes, the (normal) "Power saving mode" and the "Ultra power saving mode". When the normal Power saving mode is turned on, a notification bar is always shown on the wipe down menu as you can see in the attached screenshot: http://xdaforums.com/wiki/File:Screenshot-android-5-notification-bar-power-saving-mode.png

Do you know how to hide or deactivate the notification bar while keeping (normal) power saving mode turned on?

Phone: Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900F

Android version: 5.0

Kernel version: 3.4.0-Omega-1.0 root@indie #1

Build number: Omega v18 -XXU1POFA
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I found the solution!

It is actually pretty simple. Here are the steps:

1. Wipe down the menu so you can see the notification

2. Click and hold the notification until it becomes grey and a little "i" in a circle is shown

3. Click the i

4. You should now see app information for the app "Settings"

5. Uncheck the box "Show notifications"

6. Notification for "Power saving mode" is gone

I don't know if there are any important notifications the Settings app is now unable to show you. Does someone know?

So, the 2016 GearVR (black one) supposedly supports OTG storage through its external USB Type-C port.

But I guess it was only possible when using the now terminated Note 7.

then I use [AiCloud] from ASUS - I have an Asus router. This allows me to access my USB drive plugged into Router securely. There are other apps that can do this. Even if you do a share from PC on the network. That is a different discussion and you can find it easily online.

I brows my files on the NAS and click it using AiCloud. It asks what player I want to use, I use [VRTV] (The best looking one for watching videos on GearVR . You can name you files with key words to launch it in a specific format, so you don't have to select it everytime in 2D mode.

I use a bluetooth game controller Moga. I reassigned the buttons to exit, back button, play , go forward , etc..

Now I kick back and can back out to AiCloud when done , WITH GEARVR ON , close right eye and select another movie with controller.

[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] chereko:
I just bought a new R1 HD Prime version. It's on 6.1, and the wireless update is showing that no updates are available. So I've tried manually downloading the OTA updates and applying them from local storage using the wireless update app, but I get an error message when attempting to do so (Signature verification failed). How am I supposed to update this phone? It's completely stock.

The only thing I've noticed is that the build time of what's on my phone is slightly different than what the 6.4 OTA says it's supposed to be updated from:

My build - BLU_R0010UU_V6.1_GENERIC 17-06-2016 14:53

OTA build - BLU_R0010UU_V6.1_GENERIC_6.0_20160617-1456
