Will flashing a different ROM solve compatibility issues?

I have a T-mobile Samsung On5 (G550T) that I've carrier unlocked. I brought it to Taiwan to use on the T-star network (which uses 900, 2100 and 2600 MHz frequencies), but it doesn't work. Will flashing to a different ROM let me use my On5 on the T-star network?

I saw on frequencycheck.com that

Samsung SM-G550F/DS Galaxy On5 2017 Duos TD-LTE

and

Samsung SM-G5500 Galaxy On5 LTE

are compatible with T-star, but don't know if it's a simple ROM flash, or whether the hardware itself is different.

Thanks!

That is just the label on the download site. check that the filename contains G550FY and you'll be sure its the right file

You link for G5500 is not for G5500. It for G550T and it is not 6.1 Android, instead 5.1. I know this is an older post but thought you might want to know.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dash Riprock:
While I am here looking at this. Does anyone know what the latest Android OS version you can find and install on On5 G5500? Would like anthing 8.0 or higher and don't care if it is stock or custom firmware. I can't seem to find anything above 5.1 and 6.1 doesn't seem available on the sites they say there are. A lot of dead links. I appreciate any help. Thanks

It seems you can't expect much from the 9502 - it doesn't have working drivers either - see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=351788&page=8

You could give CorePlayer a try, though

[General Topics] Menneisyys:

Did you try optimizing (bo Cabac etc?)
[General Topics] azfar:
I am using core player latest build but I dont know about "optimizing (bo Cabac etc?)"

Can you explain me?
[General Topics] azfar:
btw I convert the video from xilisoft in 320 res
[General Topics] Menneisyys:
I've explained this all in the H.264 Bible... there're a lot of areas of optimization.

BTW, the Wizard is VERY slow. Therefore, I recommend not only goig for CorePlayer, but also sticking to DivX if the increased storage requirements aren't a problem.
[General Topics] azfar:
you mean divx codec, not player right?
[General Topics] Menneisyys:
Both. You need to encode your stuff with DivX and play back preferably with TCPMP or, even better, CorePlayer.
[General Topics] mike freegan:
I switched my 9502's coreplayer setings to RawFramebuffer and now it plays QVGA video at an acceptable 24fps / 500kbps no problem. Still seems to hate VGA video though, but I guess that's a non-issue until they bring out the SDHC patch.
[General Topics] azfar:
any other core player video settings for better performance?
[General Topics] trueg:
The H.264 codec is not a good choice for playback on slower devices. If you flip though the h.264 bible (linked below) you'll see that even a 330 MHz OMAP (N95) isn't able to handle a h.264 video 100% without disabling features. You haven't got a chance with a 200 MHz OMAP and your going to have high CPU utilization with a 400 MHz CPU.

http://www.aximsite.com/boards/applications/222389-h-264-k-mpeg-4-part-10-avc-bible.html

If size is not a factor, then you're not gaining anything by using h.264. The main benefit of h.264 over XviD is better quality at the same size or same quality at a lower size. XviD/DivX has much lower compression complexity and requires less CPU power/utilization to decode but ends up taking more space.

If you have a fast processor and you want the best quality at the smallest size, go with h.264/AVC. If size is not a factor, stick with XviD/DivX(ASP). Even with a fast processor, you will have lower CPU utilization and longer battery life (assuming you are using CPU scaling).

Check out my guide if you want some help converting to XviD.

[General Topics] azfar:
unfortunately the software you refer doesnt support wmv conversion.
[General Topics] trueg:
Well, honestly I've never needed to convert a wmv(ASF) video before. I never would have thought it would not accept WMV files, but I downloaded a music video to test and indeed, even when forced, PocketDivxEncoder wouldn't accept it. I then tried AutoGK which is another high quality converter/front end and it also would not accept WMV files (I would assume the same for Gordon Knot).

To aid you in your quest, I went on a search for tools to help you in your task.

Tools tested....

AllToAVI - http://www.videohelp.com/tools/alltoavi - easy to install, fairly intuitive, fast encoding, no option for cropping or rotation, limited audio options.

--I ran a quick test on my wmv music video using AllToAVI. The original WMV did not play very well (worse than a slide show) on my HTC Touch (Elfin - 201Mhz OMAP). The resulting XVID was actually the same size, but played perfectly.

WinFF - http://www.videohelp.com/tools/WinFF - easy to install, minimalist interface (very limited), fast encoding. Unlike AllToAVI, WinFF did not analyze the source or make suggestions on video frame rate or aspect ratio. It worked well enough and the resulting XVID looked as good and played as well as the file created by AllToAVI.

MediaCoder - http://www.videohelp.com/tools/MediaCoder - wow, this program is pretty amazing. Easy to install, tons of options, fast encoding. This program is much more customizable than PocketDivXEncoder, but this is to be expected. This program can convert from pretty much any codec to pretty much any codec. There are options for pretty much every aspect of the conversion process (which may be too much for some people). The resultant video was again the same size, but quality was a bit higher since I was able to crop the black bars.

Basically, if you can use PocketDivXEncoder (i.e. your video is supported) stick with it since it is fast, high quality and easy to use. If you want the ability to customize every single aspect of the conversion, use Media Coder. If you can't use PocketDivXEncoder and you want something very simply to convert your unsupported video, give AllToAVI a shot.

[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] zgfg:
To which country/operator your cust c106 corresponds?

It's strange, I just checked on Firmware Finder, there is no newer firmware for c106 than your b190 which is still stuck on Marshmallow - hence you never received OTA for Nougat (and probably you never will)

Below is a post about rebranding from c900 (also stuck on Marshmallow) to eg pan European c432, where Nougat firmwares were available since the end of 2016

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=72153575&postcount=2

However, your c106b190 requires a different start, you may ask [MENTION=6870018]Tecalote[/MENTION] in the thread as above how to proceed in your case
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] zizou_cr:
Ok, thanks.

These phone are in Latin America, Costa Rica, the operador it's called Ice-kolbi, thats a problem
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] zgfg:
Pan European c432 includes all languages, incl. Spain, it's up to Nougat, b505 latest buiild

People in Spain and Latin America rebrand to c432 because of updates (custom ROMs, etc), IMO you should consider rebranding, too

As a preparation, you will need to buy (if you didn't ask and obtain for free from Huawei, when it was possible) code to unlock Bootloader - DC Unlocker, 4 Euros credit

Sorry I can't be much help, but I will say that if you turn off your phone at night like I do, before you turn it on plug it in to be charged then turn it on. I have found that if I charge it to 100% before going to bed then plug it in in the morning it still says 100%. On both Arrow or Liquid Remix. Also there is a stable ROM for Liquid Remix, seek and you shall find, grasshopper.

[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] Minotaur:
Hi there.

I currently have a Galaxy S7 Edge (rooted) and am moving to a Mate 20 Pro, which will not have root (at least initially)

What's the best solution to copy app data across from the S7? Will Huawei's Phone Clone app copy all app data?

If not, is there a better solution?

Also, does the Phone Clone app transfer data locally via wifi, or does it bounce everything to an external server?

Cheers.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] beta199:
In Android there is limited option to copy over the apps data unless the phone is rooted. Generally speaking you need to set up your apps again on the M20 Pro.

I have used Huawei's own backup and restore all to migrate over apps from my old Sony phone, they worked but some apps had some issues, so I finally ended up wiping the phone and start fresh, and the problems disappeared.

So probably is best to bite the bullet and set up all your apps from scratch. I know it's not ideal, all my previous phones were rooted and used Titanium Backup to restore apps and data, which without root is not possible.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] Minotaur:
Thanks, yeah I ended up not using Phone Clone as it crashed on my S7 when trying to connect to my new M20P.
