[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mumford and Dragons:
Hello all!

I am in dire need of assistance and unsure of what to do next :(

The tablet I have is a Samsung Galaxy Tab3 7.0<stands for 7 inches? Model number is: SM-T210 and the Android version is 4.2.2. I believe this is the 2013 version tablet.

Short Version:

:

I need some help and understanding of what order to do these things.

I read that installing a custom ROM helps with the performance a lot

Do I install the custom ROM first? Or do I need a custom recovery ( TWRP being the popular on)

Also, does my device need to be rooted?

A little confused at the order, what I do/do not need, and where to download all this from

Any more enlightnemt about what I should do next will be really helpful.

Otherwise I will just have to purchase a tablet :? (will installing a custom rom, rooting etc actually make my painfully slow tab3 faster? Or shall I just buy a new tablet?)

Long Version

Just some background info this current tablet:

The other day I 'foraged and found' the Samsug Galaxy Tab3 that my father was given for free with the purchase of his Samsung phone back in 2013. The tablet was hardly used, no files (photos or documents), some apps on there, basic use from him at work. I have used it for a few days and it is quite slow/performance etc. This is after the factory reset, but not sure if I will keep it as its still a bit sluggish and driving me nuts!. I have performed the standard and basic 'how to make your tablet faster', by turning animations to 0.5, downloading a differnt launcher, moving apps to microSD card etc but it doesnt help a lot.

So I was going to purchase another cheap(ish) tablet, but some wandering research has allowed me to stumble upon info about 'installing custom ROM's, flashing, backing up using TWRP custom recovery'.

Now I am no noob when it comes to tech. as 'I am a 90's kid who grew up with it' :D. But I am also no expert, however I come with open arms when learning about new techie methods/techniques.

And this installing custom ROM's sounds interesting, especially as my tablet is not really usable everyday, so I dont have anything to lose by tweaking it!

So I thought, lets start by watching a video 'How to Install A Custom ROM On Any Android Device (2018)'> But then it mentions that I need a custom recovery, TWRP being the popular one> But then that video tutorial says that I need my device to be rooted! So thats 3 different video tutorials that I need to follow. But I read that it does not need to be rooted, then I read that you dont need a PC for custom ROM's but some videos use it..oh God! As you can probably tell, this is really confusing for someone approaching this new area of 'rooting/custom rom'.

I would really like some help/advice about where I should start, what tutorials to use (I do like videos), what to download, what devices I need, softwares etc!

Hopefully the information I have provided helps

Thank you! :)

[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droehnemeier:
I m not familiar with your device, but steps are always the same: 1. Flash recovery with Odin (TWRP for example) 2. Copy Rom and Gapps to your device's SD 3. Boot to recovery 4. Follow ROM installation instructions. Happy Flashing, don't forget to enable USB debugging. Cheers A
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mumford and Dragons:
Hey! :)

So I do not need to root my tablet? Many people say you have to? Maybe its best I do that?

Also, many different tutorials show different orders of installing and using different methods?

And, can I just do everything on my tablet or do I have to use my PC?

Do I need to install any apps or just to to certain websites on the tablet and install things?

Any specific links and order of doing them would help a bunch! :)

P.S What do you mean by "copy Gaps"? Do you mean apps?
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droehnemeier:
Like I said I am not familiar with your device so I can't give you such a specific advice. You have to find out by yourself. Read threads, completely. Follow things being discussed already and find solutions for problems that's been already solved. This is what I do

I applied root to the phone.

How can i fix it

NOTE: I get " This Version Isn't Compatible With Your Device " error when my device is compatible with "Critical ops"

[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] n7of9:
Could someone let me know what the default Mediapad M3 apps are on Emui 5 (BTV-DL09)?

I just got the tablet yesterday and it was on Emui 4. There was no OTA so I used Firmware Finder to upgrade to Nougat and Emui 5. When I tried to change themes the default HWThemeManager is missing - I'm wondering what else might be missing?

The HW apps I have are:

calculator

camera

contacts

dialler

email

files

gallery

hicare

higame

messaging

system update

tablet manager

videos

weather

And Bluetooth isn't working, I've seen a few posts online where it's the same for some, but no real 'fix'. I'm considering downgrading to Android 6, but the 10 mins i was on Emui 4 I don't think i liked it

[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] numzie:
After upgrading (non-root), I have several apps (Snapchat, Tidio, Shopify just to name some) where notifications don't work anymore.

I've been in contact with both Huawei and the app providers - but noone can solve the problem - accusing each other for causing the problem.

I've tried a bunch of thing including letting these apps override battery saver mode, launch them in background, never go hibernate etc - but nothing worked.

Does anyone have a solution to this?

[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] CadillacMike:
i was having problems with my regular Mate 9 and notifications.

i tried a bunch of stuff, probably messed some settings up. But I went to

Settings > Battery > Launch

and changed it to "Manage all automatically"

then clicked on "Manage batch manually"

and checked all 3 boxes for All

and I think that fixed it. However it might be overkill, and I'm not sure what impact it has had on my battery yet
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] numzie:
Thanks for writing. I did try that together with the other tweaks in the first place, but it didn't have any impact.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] CadillacMike:
Well I am probably getting 90% of my notifications now, where as before I was getting like 10%.

So i am still trying to figure out what settings I need to adjust
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] numzie:
Agree. I'm also down to around 10% now, I guess - mainly Shopify an Snapchat problems - but I hope they'll be sorted out with future updates.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lister Of Smeg:
Hi [MENTION=1680113]Exorcist74[/MENTION],

I'm with you, generally on this... if it aint broke, dont fix it. That said, most of the more updated roms are rather mature on our device now. And anything is an improvement over ICS 4.0.4. Even if ya only go upto KitKat on 4.4.4

That said, there is only 2x outcomes with this....

Downgrade the App via APKMirror and look for an older version of the App, before it refuses to run on ICS 4.0.4. And if the nag is Server side, and not built into the App...

... Then ya either gonna have to upgrade the OS on our Note... or find another device?

Hope that helps, Lister
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exorcist74:
Thanks Lister Of Smeg,

fearmongering sell's that is the bottom line..

I'm not spending large amount of money for the sake of a free app

nor take the chance of Bricking for the same app

I have been thinking of updating my android (Galaxy Note N70000 with Brickbug) but every time I research the Rom it always end up defective in some way or other, so back to why fix it if its not broken...

Thanks again Lister for the good advice...

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funkypitt:
Unfortunately, some important apps, like Amazon Kindle, were not working anymore for me as well. I did update my android system, and in case you're willing to try the updating route, I can testify that retired developer bauner has made a fantastic job on our good old N7000. I installed Phil's recovery, then installed his 7.1 (!) rom and the appropriate gapps, and I am very satisfied with the result so far. He also made and maintained 5.X and 6.X versions which are maybe even safer. He's bravely fighting planned obsolescence, and competently so. I did have to resize my partitions following his guide so that there would be enough space for the upgraded OS before installing it.

I find that it's also easy to find parts for the phone at a very cheap price on aliexpress, so I see no reason why I should stop using it in the next few years.

twrp showing 0mb

Well , I rebooted twrp and just realized that when it first loads it has a lock pattern on the screen, and at the top it says, Mount Decrypt Data. Did not pay attention to that because when I tried to do the pattern it didnt work so I just hit cancel on the bottom and it takes right into twrp, maybe that's why it does not show anything. Now the cancel does not work either, the screen is froze now, I'll try and reboot, Thanks for the speedy reply...

TWRP 0mb

Yes, it's the same...
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] msn100dc:
I figure you're asking this because twrp has problems decrypting as far as I've been reading in the twrp thread. In order to get a handle on whats going on, its best if the op can state the version of twrp, the rom and date, and the password form, along with any specific quirks they found in decrypting.

Ive been decrypted for the longest time because of the twrp decryption issues, and i didnt really want to try and fail, spending hours recovering. But if op can shed some light, im sure it would be helpful for those that want to try.

I've got Lineage OS 14.1 + nethunter + gapps as my Primary ROM. EFIDroid to manage the multiboot. TWRP 3.0.0.0 as recovery. No problem in running Primary OS.

I am able to create the secondary OS partitions. I am successfully able to flash the secondary OS. It boots successfully. However, whenever I try to flash open gapps (nano or pico) the system reboots and gives the message "Previous Boot Failed cant allocate child memory -9 0xffffff7".

I've tried this with two roms now, [ROM][OFFICIAL][7.1.2_r29][BACON][OPTIMIZED]RESURRECTION REMIX [5.8.5][OMS] and [ROM][8.1.0_r7] AOSP Oreo for OnePlus One [Stable] and the error is the same. Further, I've tried flashing the same OS+gapps as primary and it works. Gapps flashing is not working only on secondary OS. This tells me its not ROM related?

One more thing, I must mount the system partition before flashing gapps or I get "updater process ended with error: 139". I've also tried increasing the size of the system partition of secondary os from 1GB to 2GB but the result is the same.

Kindly help.

Hi at all,

my Nook went out of power during a holiday and when I wanted to start again it stays at the caynoboot screen. I´ve tried to access the recovery to mak e a factory reset but this is also not possible. So I tried to use an image on SD card with CWM and TWRP on to get into recovery but still no success. When trying to Boot to TWRP the screen stay at Teamwin Recovery Project 3.0.1-0.

Any ideas how to get my Nook back to life?

Would be great to get some help.

Chances are your emmc is bricked, in which case you can try running off sdcard the CM11 ROM build specially made for bricked/no-emmc available at https://iamafanof.wordpress.com/201...-4-4-4-for-bricked-no-emmc-nook-hd-04nov2014/.

Hi digixmax,

thank´s for your reply. I´ve tried to follow the instructions on the page you posted but at one point it there is a problem to go on.

I have burned the image to sd and the result is that I have got a boot CD, an ext4 (system) partition and some unallocated space. Theinstalltion guide says that I have to copy the Image (zip file) onto the sd card. So i copied the file to the first and active partition. When I boot up the TWRP I press mount and select boot (changes to blue color). TheI press the home (n) button and the process will lead me back to the menu. After that I select install and navigate to boot but I can not see the zip file to install. I have serched all the other files also but could not find the file.

Any idea?

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] kanej2006:
The only thing ruining the look of this device are the ugly soft keys/navbar below the screen using and wasting the available screen area as well as a distraction.

Is it possible to hide or remove the navbar? I would like to make full use of the 5.5'' screen. Should this be possible could someone share a picture of the phone with the navbar hidden/removed?

Every phone I've had I have hidden or removed the soft keys below the screen and if possible used an alternative way or an invisible navbar.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] raystef66:
LoL, it's the day of the nav bar :D

If your rooted (ohtherwise pull and push..) check system/build.prop and find these lines :

ro.config.navkeys=0 and/or qemu.hw.mainkeys=0

Change values to 1

But you can always uncheck this in settings and swype down the nav bar.

Anyway, to completely remove you'll have to change values though to 1 where needed ;)
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] kanej2006:
Cheers bro, so glad it can be hidden. I should have the phone Sunday or Monday. I'll do the above & let you know how it goes.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
Anyways a) only the Chinese phones without capacitive keys come with the navbar, and b) if you get it after flashing a modded stock ROM or something you can just use the arrow that points downwards on one of the sides (to avoid rooting, if you're not into it). Check the photo of the 8.0 beta that's on the guides section, on TEXASMADE's post. You'll see the arrow.

If you ever want to pop it up for some reason just swipe from the bottom, use it, then hide again
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] kanej2006:
You are right. My previous phone was the Xiaomi Mi Mix. However, by default you could also swipe the navbar down to hide it, if only others did the same! Otherwise for other phones I use GMD AutoHideSoftKeys, however, it is only supported upto Android 6 Marshmallow. :(

I will check the Beta 8.0 photos on the guide section! Cheers for the input.
