That is actually an interesting remark. Maybe we should do a test where we flash back to the latest official ROM and then back to LOS15.1. Who has the time to do this test? :) (would do it myself but am in a very hectic period at work)

---------- Post added at 12:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:15 AM ----------

It would be great if you could use the gps for a longer time. I am curious if GPS is still working so well after reboots and for a longer period of time. My experience is that the GPS sometimes works well and other times does not work at all. If possible also try it using navigation software while driving. Let us know the outcomes :fingers-crossed:
[Wileyfox Swift] wkn000:
Hi,

have you tried to optimize your gps.conf for your country (Timeserver, Links to nearer location)? There could be some tutorials found for that and it is worth a try.

[Wileyfox Swift] aacprime:
You should use either latest official LOS14.1 rom or wait for LOS16 if you want stable gps, because it seems like every oreo rom for our device has problems with gps, but it's fixed on pie roms for whatever reason.

That said, there're unofficial builds of LOS16 by the same guy who maintains official LOS for our device, you can check them out here.
[Wileyfox Swift] ArmiDuctor:
I say Globosat BT359 FTW (for now) :cool:
[Wileyfox Swift] aacprime:
And now we have official LOS16.0. Congratulations, everyone.
[Wileyfox Swift] SpaceGooner:
Amazing stuff. Just saw this myself. Do we know if it's ok to install 16.0 directly over 15.1 without wiping using TWRP?

Only one way to find out I guess.
[Wileyfox Swift] jrior001:
It won't auto install via the updater. It forces you to do it manually because you need new gapps.
[Wileyfox Swift] SpaceGooner:
Thanks, gonna do it tomorrow when I get some time. I can't even remember which Android version the Swift was running out of the box when it launched, but it's pretty incredible that it has seen so many different versions from Cyanogen to LOS. I've been using mine for years as a useful option to give my kids when they want to borrow my main device to play games.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZeroAlee:
Hi!

I really love my phone and i need to know, if there is any ROM that doesn't has lag, bugs and some extra free RAM, i tried from KK roms to Oreo roms and i really didn't notice any difference (in every ROM i have at least 300mb ~ 280mb free RAM)

I prefer an Oreo ROM, but i know it's still at development and has bugs and is kinda laggy.

any recomendations?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koshikas:
if you need hassle free stable daily driver material stick to Noughat ROMs, not that Oreo ROMs are bad but they are still experimental.

I would recommend AOSPEx v4.6 as it was almost latest security updates (05/2018), or the latest greatest LOS 14.1

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZionistGT:
After I rooted my device running Android 7.0, it got stock in a bootloop once rebooted. I have tried to flash different stock ROMs on this device from Samsung so I can recover my phone. Each firmware is an official firmware from Samsung, but all gives the same error when flashing through ODIN.

I have spent over 8 hours on different forums and I haven't found a fix for this. At this time I believe my device is hard bricked, because I have found other issues with the boot.img fail, but this one is for sboot.bin for the Galaxy S6 Edge SM-925i.

I need help please, has anyone found a way to flash and find a workaround for that sboot.bin fail in ODIN?

I already tried to flash other firmwares for the model SM-G925F and for SM-G925A, and they aren't compatibles at all.

Below are the logs from ODIN, regardless of what version of ODIN I use when flashing.

[General Topics] Campbell:
Hi. I'm new to the forum and new to the world of PDA's.

I recently upgraded from a Nokia N73 to an O2 XDA Orbit 2. I've been looking around the forum and...1 question if I may:

1) What is Hard SPL and flashing and what are the benefits?

:confused::confused::confused:
[General Topics] maevro:
Don't be afraid to use the search functions.....

Flashing a new radio or ROM is 'upgrading' from the current ones you have on your phone now. There are a lot of highly talented people on xda who are very, very kind to create and rip OEM and cooked ROMS and other fun stuff for us. 99% of the time they are taking something and making it 1000% better.

SPL is basically a boot loader which allows you to flash a new ROM without turning your nice phone into a door stop.

Benefits? There are a lot, too many to list. You might want to flash a better ROM that will provide your phone with more available memory, maybe this new ROM will upgrade your phone to WM6, or even WM6.1, maybe this ROM will allow your to run your phone in a different language, and I can keep going.

Don't try any of this stuff without reading how to do it a lot, seriously. Also, you might just want to learn, but try not to ask stupid questions. If you ask a questions and the answer could have been found in the search, then it was stupid.

​

REQUIREMENTS​

​

A Galaxy S7/S7 Edge G930F / G930FD / G935F / G935FD / Device

TWRP Custom Recovery (Make sure you have atleast 3.2.1-1 installed)

Latest Bootloader and Modem. The easiest way to do this is to flash it via the ROM installer, alternatively you can flash it via an official ODIN Firmware.

MAKE SURE YOU FLASH THE CORRECT VARIANT !! Don't worry about the CSC as this can be changed then you install TGP.

You can grab the Bootloader and Modems from here:

Bootloader Files

Modem Files

​

INSTALL STEPS​

​

​

Copy the ROM over to your Internal Memory (not the external SD Card).

Restart your phone into TWRP Recovery, and make a backup beforehand if desired.

Do a FULL Wipe (Optional, but recommended and especially recommended if you are having issues)

Install the ROM, and restart your phone.

PLEASE NOTE: Oreo seems to be a little funny with Deodexed ROMs, so you will need to restart your device a couple of times in order for the deodexed system to be properly optimized.

After the setup wizard is complete, it's always a good idea to give your phone a restart afterwards as well.

Enjoy your new ROM.

​

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS​

​

​

Do I need a rooted device to install this?

No.

You do however need your data partition to be formatted after having installed some kind of dm-verity or encryption removal patch.

Does this ROM support K, L, S and W8 Variants?

No.

Oreo hasn't been released for these devices yet, so unfortaunetly until their bootloaders and modems are released, TGP can not support these device.

My phone keeps restarting while doing the setup wizard...

This is normal at the moment for Oreo.

Hopefully it can be something that can be patched later on, but for now it's something we have to put up with.

Should I select r22p0 or r15p0 GPU Drivers?

Originally, r15p0 GPU Driver support was included due to the buggy initial release of the r22p0 drivers in the initial Oreo release.

TGP 2.1.0 and will have the r22p0 driver issue sorted, but both options will still be available.

Magisk or SuperSU?

Personally I perfer Magisk.

It allows passing of Safetynet without any issues, and is still supported, unlike SuperSU where development has now been stopped.

I do have two issues though:

It appears that mails, (whatsapp) messages come through sporadically, or only when I check the phone. I wonder if this is due to this specific kernel?

And secondly, I can't use Vysor as I never get the prompt to approve the USB Connection to my PC. After some digging I found that similar issues arose with hacked kernels, but not with official kernels... Soo is there another kernel for this rom?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] LodeUnknown:
the samsung device maintenance system app worked alright in the past, but I've been seeing a few people not liking the new update since it apparently targets more than what it should; I aimed to not update it at all, but while I was updating apps before I went to sleep yesterday, that app updated as well. I didn't know it did so I've been trying to downgrade it to an earlier version. I downloaded an apk file from apkmirror, made sure to uninstall the updates to it and set it to factory version, but it won't let me install, saying it conflicts with the same app already present. I then used the adb command-line tool to "uninstall" it (pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.samsung.android.lool ), hoping it would work then, but it says "nope, this app doesn't exist on this phone, plus this apk file is corrupted". I can "re-install" it by installing it from the google play store

I'm at a loss on how I can get this done without root (I don't plan on rooting my phone unless the situation is perfect for it), using the adb tool or any tool that won't kill my phone. Any help
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] *Detection*:
Uninstalling updates and reverting it back to the factory version is downgrading it as far as it will downgrade, and if it worked before you let it update, then you are running the version (factory) that was working previously, therefore something else is wrong if it still doesn't work

So at this point, my only option is to switch to a new phone that can be used by Odin, or just standard root my phone and flash a custom rom of a different type, right?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] *Detection*:
You cannot flash a custom ROM to a snapdragon phone using any method, it has a locked bootloader

ODIN is for stock ROMs only (and TWRP recovery which you cannot use on snapdragon either)

You can use ODIN on any S7 for stock ROMs
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] LodeUnknown:
To sum it all up, you're saying that I have to get an exynos/international version of any Android phone if I want to root and or flash a custom ROM, correct? And if I do, could I still use it with a US phone carrier, like AT&T or MetroPCS afterwards?

And even if I could use it with a US phone carrier, would I still be eligible for any technical support / repair service they would offer, or would I have to use a non-affiliated repair service?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] *Detection*:
Yes, only Exynos has an unlocked bootloader (See the snapdragon vs exynos custom ROM dev forums)

Yes you could still use a US carrier as long as the phone is SIM unlocked (carphone warehouse phones are all unlocked), I have no idea of the limitations / implications, but some people here already do that, and the G930W8 (Canada) is Exynos

No idea about warranty, but if you bought it from say the UK and had it shipped, you'd have to discuss with Samsung if they would accept it into a US service centre or if you'd have to ship it back to the UK, no idea about that, no doubt there are places in the US that you could buy a Exynos from

[Thinkpad Tablet General] wildchill:
...I was helping a friend recover a Lenovo Yoga Tab 3, and thought this tutorial might help someone else out there

For example, if you attempted an OTA update on your (STOCK) Yoga Tab 3 but it now only boots to the RECOVERY menu, then read on!

- Make sure your tablet is fully Charged before proceeding.

- Download a stock ROM that matches your tablet (some questionable links below).

- Copy the ROM ZIP file to the root of an SD card (formatted FAT32 typically)

- Make sure the ZIP is named *factory_update.zip

Eg YT3-X50F_USR_S000015_1509171725_Q1241_PRC_CN_otafull_factory_update.zip

- Make sure your tablet is Powered OFF

- Insert the SD card into your tablet

- Hold POWER and VOL+ buttons until it vibrates and boots (release the POWER button when you see the Lenovo logo)

The tablet should automatically do a factory reset, update from the ZIP, and then reboot subsequently.

Please be PATIENT, if the tablet looks like its hung, give it at least 20mins !!!

Also, after it boots up for the first time give the tablet at least 10mins to settle down (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED).

ROM for YT3-X50F (WiFi model):

https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862686844

ROM for YT3-X50M (4G model):

https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298925858

If required, RAR extraction password is "ask.lenovomobile.com"

Unfortunately these are Chinese ROMs, but they were the only working ones we could find.

And I guess having a Chinese ROM is better than having a bricked device at least.

If you can find better ROMs, let me know and I'll add them here.
