[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] riverbird69:
Hi, I have Note Pro and would really like to update it's OS to Lineage....From your post you've already done this? is there a post or step-by-step that you used on how to do this somewhere that I could use? Also from what I've read, tripping Knox on Samsung Devices when rooting or messing with the OS will result in a brick etc....Would like to avoid that if at all possible!...Thanks
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] Kingsman1:
Which Note Pro do you have? Is it the SM-P900 (Wi-Fi only),SM-P905 (Verizon), or SM-P907 (AT&T)?

I have the SM-P907, which,I believe, has yet to be upgraded past Lollipop 5.1.1., but still runs circles around the latest iPad Pro and Microsoft Surface Pro. Just take advantage of your capabilities to use cloud storage, otherwise tansfer what you can to your SD card and also use something like DU Speed Booster to keep your memory clean and operating at peak efficiency.

Let me know, and I'll be glad to help you.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] andytiedye:
Tripping Knox voids the long-expired warrantee and prevents Samsung Pay from running (which it won't on this model anyway). Is there any real downside?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] riverbird69:
Flashing Lineage to SM-P900

Hi,

I have the Note Pro SM-P900 , the WiFi version only, and it's still stuck on Android 5.1.1. with no o.t.a upgrades in the last 3 years......Really frustrating!

So this is why I wanted to see if I could flash Lineage if the software of the SM-P900 can support it.

Can you assist on how to do this, or is there a guide somewhere that's reliable for the SM-P900?

Cheers!
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] thegoat:
Which note pro do you have and what Lineage OS did you use? I have the 12.2 Note Pro LTE and I can only find the 12.2 Note Pro Wireless version. I asked in the Lineage forum but nobody seemed to know if it would brick it.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] gcrutchr:
The international LTE is the SM-P905...if you have a letter after the 905, it may cellular service specific, i.e., 905V (Verizon)
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] thegoat:
Thanks so much--I have the SM-P905 (no letter after the 905). Do you think it will work with the LineageOS for Note Pro 12.2 Wi-Fi?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] gcrutchr:
You should use the Lineage for P905...wifi version has diiferent cpu
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] thegoat:
Thanks--is there a LineageOS P905 version? (I couldn't find it)
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] gcrutchr:
LineageOS-P905
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] thegoat:
Thanks!
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] fvig2001:
I still use mine though. It's again my current phone since my Note 4 decided to stop registering my sim card to my carrier. So anyone else still using theirs? I can't see any actual device replacing this. At the rate I'm going, I'll probably really just buy spare parts off the P905Vs off eBay.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] golfinggino:
I basically use my android tablets - the 12,2 and the tab s now just to watch tv when im out and to play candy crush. I like my gadgets but these don't use them much anymore. When I need to work I use my surface book and asus transformer pro 3. I still occasionally use my galaxy tab 7.7 when I can find the charger lol. All my androids are rooted I gave up doing that to my phones I use my s8 plus and lg v30 unrooted - never thought I would do that - the only advantage to rooting I see now is when your device doesn't get updated anymore
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] bigtexan99:
In my case, I want to upgrade Android on my device from 5.1 because apps that I want to use cannot be downloaded from the Play store. It says that the app will not work with my version of Android. Is there a way to get the app to work since I can't upgrade the Android version?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] vivelafrance:
Are we talking about the Note Pro here? Cause I have Android 6 on it and it's official, so 5.1 is not the latest. Update!

I'm surprised there are many apps that require a more recent firmware than 5.1 in the store! What kind of apps are they?

You could search if there is a custom ROM with a more recent firmware or try installing the app from the apk itself instead of the Store.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] Conundrum68:
My main issue is S-Pen, and, specifically, S-Note support. My Note 8 has the latest S-Note and I'm finding there are issues syncing with earlier version that my tablet runs. That's the only reason I want to upgrade to latest OS. Interoperability between phone and Note Pro.

I'm trying to find out how to support S-Note on, say a LineageOS ROM, but so far finding not much.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] NutsyUK:
Well ive been out the loop for a month or so. But a while back Xiaomi were making a big fuss about 8.2 about to come out... Redmi note 4 will get it by the end of feb....

I just got back and put my phone online.... and no new updates. Still running 8.1.4.0...

Was 8.2 pulled?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] Razor_96:
You have to check if you Rom is xiaomi official one, many shops put some fake miuis so that could be a reason. By the way miui 8.2 is what made me switch to lineage because in miui 8.2 there was a bug in fingerprint sensor where sometimes the unlock wouldn't work and led you to lock screen so you had to press 2 times the fingerprint sensor.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] Crowbar Asdfghjkl:
No 8.2 for MTK variant yet.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] NutsyUK:
ohh so its not actually out yet...

I didnt really want to go with a third party rom like lineage as much as im sure its great, simply because I use banking apps... and my one actively blocks root phones.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] Crowbar Asdfghjkl:
Lineage OS is for Snapdragon varient, just saying. If you have the Snapdragon varient, they might already have 8.2.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] JohnTheFarm3r:
Where did you read that 8.2 will be relased by end of the februar?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] NutsyUK:
Sadly no im on MTK...

And i read it on the MIUI forums when they announced it... They cant be dropping support the MTK already? (though i guess it wouldnt surprise me) Android security patches are... well theres been a few since feb...

Is there any work for lineage to be ported to mtk?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] Dovidhalevi:
I only rooted my old LG P500 dinosaur because it never go upgraded. Came with Froyo. Before it died, I was running Kitkat omnirom, apps that were not supposed to be on it, quite well. Xposed, of course.

I have gotten two upgrades already on my Note 4. Have 8.1.7. So I am staying stock for now. Want to see Nougat running on this thing, though the UX will not change so much.

BTW, certain setup features that seem to be missing on Miui are still there. One can get them using QuickShortcutMaker. Goodies like app management and setting home launcher, many more listed!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] NutsyUK:
your on 8.1.7? im still on 8.1.4 and the updater still says no new updates... what is going on?

Am i missing something?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] gsmyth:
Still not sure what's going on with the official updates, as the version available for download from the miui site is 8.0.4.0. There have been a few subsequent versions that went up but were taken down again, due to stability issues (i think). I've seen the official China ROM had an update to 8.2 (still based off marshmallow), but it seems like it needs some further work as it's a bit buggy.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] kennypow3rs:
Anyone else phone just not smooth at all? I'm on latest 7.0 and my phone is so slow for a phone with these internals. I don't get it. Is there something I'm doing wrong. This phone all around has severally disappointed me. My edge is so slow that it makes the iPhone seem fast. What do I do? Seems like memory management is still poor and this processor was weak, I would have been happier with an 8 core exynos vs 4 core snap 821
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] brandoncheney05:
It's a Samsung with Samsung bloatware.. It's going to always have lag unfortunately. I've had almost every major Android phone since the HTC Hero that includes iPhone as well and Samsung is constantly the laggiest although my S7 edge has been pretty good still no where near an iPhone or pixel

---------- Post added at 03:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:33 PM ----------

Try downloading package disabler pro and disabling some crapware
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] kennypow3rs:
Thanks for reply and suggestions! I've disabled a ton of stuff and it doesn't matter lol. I may trade this one in for an s8 or iPhone 7 plus. I really hate iPhones as I've had several of them and a ton of Android phones. The fact that we can't really mod this phone and run different ROMs made it dead on arrival. I guess I could try a different launcher again and maybe turn off all animations.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] brandoncheney05:
That's what I did! Nova and 0 animations is a huge improvement. I'm considering trading my S7 Edge for a Moto G5 Plus next Friday just to ditch bloatware
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] kennypow3rs:
That wouldn't be a bad idea. I was trying to hold off to see what new phones sprint gets in a month or 2 but it's driving me nuts with this phone. Google really killed my dreams by not getting the pixel and XL to all carriers.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] brandoncheney05:
I'm on Sprint as well and know what you mean but you can still use the unlocked pixel on Sprint at least but hopefully next one won't be a Verizon exclusive
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] nosympathy:
If the S8 is anything like the Note 7, I'll gladly move to it. I'll pay the fee to get rid of the S7E and move to the S8Plus.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] kennypow3rs:
Supposedly Samsung is going to sell 4.3 million refurbished Note 7s in the USA that has slight smaller battery capacity at a discounted price. if sprint gets their hands on some to lease out that would be dope. I'd either get that or just move to the s8. I hate the 4 core snapdragon 821 it's so ass...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] nosympathy:
Hadn't heard about that, looked it up, sadly it appears we're not going to get it in the US.

https://www.technobuffalo.com/2017/03/28/samsung-wont-release-a-refurbished-galaxy-note-7-in-the-us/

Only thing about the S8+ I won't like is the lack of a stylus. Tomorrows the revealing IIRC so I'll be anxious to see if that changes. I really wish it would and the bigger phone gets a stylus.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] kennypow3rs:
So no Note 7 refurb in the US? Wow that's weak. That article I saw was a bit misleading I guess. It made it seem like world wide they would sell. I'm sure the refurbs will probably land on eBay but that's a full price phone is rather lease. Well, here's to hoping the s8 and s8+ live up to the hype since other Android​ OEMs aren't technically iPhone killers. Samsung is but they definitely suck in everything but hardware...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] piscesjoey:
S7 Edge has the 820, not the 821, even though the only difference between the 2 is like a 10% increase in performance due to slightly higher clock speeds in the cores & gpu. What you are experiencing man is typical Samsung lag due to all of the damn bloat on the device. I've been using a HTC 10 the past couple weeks that I bought from someone on Let Go for only $200 due to the misses breaking her Moto X Pure. I gave her my S7 Edge to use until she upgrades to the S8+ next month & was going to resume using my Edge then but nope not now! The 820 is very smooth & efficient on here with virtually no lag at all & also I'm fully rooted. Only thing I miss is using Samsung Pay & earning reward points but that's only a small sacrifice, besides I can still use Android Pay & while rooted too thanks to Magisk & if I need to return to stock for any reason I don't have to worry about no stupid KNOX crippling core features on the phone & driving down its resale value. My S7 Edge will be going up for sale!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] godpowerrr:
Have you tried turning 2 of your cores off? I'm sure that would significantly help you with your extensive battery drainage.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] kennypow3rs:
Turn off 2 of 4 cores? That would make the lag even worse. With 4 cores this phones lag is horrible I couldn't imagine only using 2 cores ie power save etc lol.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] godpowerrr:
Wow. You're mistaken. Try rooting and applying govtuner or you can continue to suffer haha
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] kennypow3rs:
Nah, I'm not rooting this phone unless I can run stock Android over Samsung's laggy POS rom. No point. I won't be suffering for long, I'll probably just give sprint this one back when s8 launches. This phone sucks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] godpowerrr:
If you put forth the effort to eliminate the constant issues you're having, because its possible, then you wouldn't be so stressed and irritated. If you're holding on to it for a while, why not tweak it instead of doing absolutely nothing. :cyclops:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Ramer:
Have you gone through and checked which apps could be causing the lag? (Facebook comes to mind)! I haven't rooted either and my phone has no lag. It's almost always some app that's draining resources.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] promega:
The lag culprit has been found!!!

Just as I expected, the lag is do to thermal throttling. I get extremely low benchmark scores, like a little over half what I should be getting. Ran the benchmark programs with my phone in a cup of icewater.. My scores doubled.

I am on a S7 Edge 7.0 rooted android. How can I change my thermal throttling settings? Is there a script or a program to address this?

3D Mark Sling Shot Extreme Android benchmark test results:

No ice: 1549 (I got around this number every time without ice)

With ice: 2627

Developer option to fix laggggg.

I found an option in developer options that seems to help a lot. It is called do not keep activities. These seems to help keep the ui from clogging up with old worthless data which seems to slow android or at least samsung phones down to the point you have to reset them. I am typing right now like it's an iPhone. I have a galaxy s6 currently but I doubt it has changed. The developer options has to be enabled and if memory serves you tap 7 times on the software info so.ew here in the settings. I am sure it's easily found on the net. Hope this helps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Cooljb:
Try the unlocked firmware for this phone. You can still use it on Sprint, or any carrier. It has NO sprint bloatware, and just a little samsung bloatware. But it's MUCH better than Sprint's Nougat. They just released the unlocked Nougat too. Another bonus is you can activate hotspot without rooting. I would also recommend purchasing Package Disabler Pro and disabling the remaining Samsung crap. Well worth the $0.99. I'm running it and it's smooth as silk. Coming from Sprint firmware, you'll have to do a full reset but it's worth it. Just back up your phone with Smart Switch and you can restore it after you flash the unlocked firmware.

Here's the link for the unlocked S7 Edge Nougat:

https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s7-edge/SM-G935U/SPR/download/G935UUEU4BQD2/129923/

P.S. - If you haven't already, try clearing your cache, both from the settings/storage menu and also preferably from recovery.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] jnadke:
The Sprint bloatware in Nougat has gotten really bad.

I've been having stuttering issues. Installed Package Disabler and disabled everything in com.sprint and it's much better.

The Sprint Hub app is horrific. I noticed it in Running Processes in developer settings. I disabled it there and my lag improved greatly.

Tl;dr: Unlock Developer Options and go to Running Services. Disable all the crap you don't use.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Cooljb:
Unlocked firmware FTW

Or even better try the unlocked firmware. Unlocked Nougat for this phone is out now and it's WAY better than the Sprint Nougat. You can download it here:

How is the battery after installing the u version? Cause my battery doesn't last even half a day of moderate use
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] chefy2k4m:
I'd like to know the same.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Nrod0784:
Unlocked Nougat is the way to go. Battery life is much better. 5 hrs screen on time average.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Robalboa:
My S7 edge runs so fast its ridiculous. i have no root (and ive rooted every other phone ive had) Im on QH1 , i get over 2 days battery life easy (see screenshot)

what i did way back was first of all :

1. most bloatware CAN be disabled or uninstalled directly from the app drawer (long press) or right from the app settings.

2. Clearing Cache can be a big factor also in phone speed etc. (hold power, volume up, and home key simultaneously) after it goes through about a 40 sec deal youll see stock recovery

select clear cache and do it at least 2 times then reboot.

3. in developer options (go to settings find build number and tapp it ten times (maybe 7 lol) and it will say ("ur 3 steps/or taps from being a developer) once thats enabled

go to animations and set them from 1.0x to .5x

also make sure you have the device maintenance app installed. USE IT

you only have to use it about every 3 days but it works well.

also if you have a U1 sd card (need a U3) and you move apps to the U1 Sd card it will slow down your phone alot.

when i bought the 4k U3 sd card (read write speeds 100MB/sec, but its really about 50/sec write and 80 read) i move the apps over that could be moved and my phone is lightning fast.

good luck

Yeah I am kinda annoyed with everyone for ignoring my observation.. I also put it another thread. No one seems to care about the truth. Whatever.. Maybe I will get murdered over this.. I will never roll samsung again.. It's always something.. weak wifi radios on their older gens, this heat pipe issue with s7 edge -the over heating and throttling down...

to all you kids out there:

UR PHONE IS LAGGING BECAUSE IT IS HOT, UR CPU IS THROTTLING DOWN.

cheers big ears.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] seh6183:
Have you tried the Note 8? They fixed everything with software. When the s8 gets Oreo, the new Samsung software will fix all it's lag too. The s8 was significantly better than the s7 out of the box but was nothing compared to the Note 8, nothing at all, no comparison. I still can't believe the performance of the Note 8, it's not like any other Samsung device ever released.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] promega:
Too late, my iphone X arrives today. Didnt try the note 8. the S7 edge is a hardware issue, bad heat-sink (has nothing to do with software). My issue is with samsung, is this is a giant QA failure. I work in the QA field, I would have never ever let this defect get past me. Very shameful on their part, they clearly rushed it out the door with little testing. I have had the samsung: Epic, S3, S5, and S7 edge... They all have the same glichy stuff with the the back button with txt message app and what not. Horrible wifi radios in the older stuff.. again bad QA testing on their part, very shameful. I have had 2 S3's, 2 S5's, and 3 S7 edge's.

to anyone with a s7 edge, ur phone is water proof. run benchmarks in ice water.. it will blow your mind.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] seh6183:
Well that doesn't explain why the other devices with the 820 SOC run excellent, while the Samsung stuff chugs. I think it's their DVFS setup in the software which is gimping the CPU. It's at the kernel level I believe.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] promega:
listen believe what you want. put your phone in ice water for the truth.

This is the last time I am going to comment to you weirdos about this phone. Why would you jump to that conclusion? I never said it was the SOC did I, I said it was the heat sink. it is garbage and causes overheating.. you sir are not worth my fingers, and good day.

Hi all

My WF Swift (which has CM-13 on it) is stuck in a boot loop; keeps going to the TWRP 2.8 recovery screen even when I use TWRP to reboot the handset for normal startup. I've seen the Boot Loop guide (https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2426426) which is very useful however if I follow it I will end up wiping the data on the phone which I still need.

My question is, before I follow the Boot Loop guide (steps 1-3), how do I grab all the data of the phone?

Thank you in advance.

EDIT: I do know *nix, and have adb ready. If you have concise instructions that would be great! The phone should already trust my machine so that shouldn't be an issue.

Hey there! I am new to this forum, if this thread breaks a rule, I'm completely sorry

I use a Acer B1-730(not HD), it has a completely locked bootloader, but I rooted it using the Intel FBRL method (the one that involves adb/fastboot to flash a temporary custom recovery)

I rooted it so I could use App2SD and similars (KitKat user here :p ), but it didn't worked.......Edited build.prop.....Didn't worked, but didn't stop working after one restart...So I got tempted to edit the vold.fstab....But I didn't find any resource with a file similiar to mine...So I just picked a generic one and pushed into my device :D Apparently, that just made me stuck in bootloop....I am trying to fix it for hours, discovering that it somehow responds to adb commands and that I am able to use the Intel FBRL to go to custom recovery and revert my changes (no backup or stock rom for me :D :D :D And I prefer to continue with my files)

But It denies the permission to push files into it(I think that it is because it is only partially turned on), refuses to accept the licenses for my custom zips and is only responding to adb sometimes,most of the time, my PC don't find it, what can I do? I have the changed files, original files, and licensed zip,how do I send them with this post? Can someone help me?
