Questions on Note 5

Hi,

I'm planning to buy a Note 5. I would really appreciate if I could get answers on my doubts :

1) Are there any technical issues in dual sim version compared to the single sim version?

2) Are both versions having the same specs apart from dual sim option?

3) Which is the best version (international) to buy among the two?

4) Is it true that dual sim version could cause potential health risks in the long run due to double reception power?

5) Is there going to be a version two or second production of current existing models with upgraded firmware and tweaks or rectifications?

6) Compared to other mobiles with 4GB Ram, how is the performance of Note 5?

Awaiting reply,

Thanks.

Questions about some features

Hi,
I want to know if some features exist or if it's possible to activate it.

I like to have a different color notification LED by applications (message, phone, twitter, messenger) How can I activate it. I found in "parametre" only for message, phone and voicemail.

On my older phone, I can switch music by long press on volume button. I love this feature. It's possible to activate it?

I use a lot lmt launcher, I think it's very fast way to launch application. But on Miui, LMT don't launch any application, only back,home,recent apps works. Someone use it?

Thanks for your answer.

Asus Zenfone 2 ZE500CL Information and questions?

So I made an account just for this as this seems to be the phone I'm gonna have to sit on for a while (sold my nexus 5 in a time of need.. regret now of course haha!).

Basically what I want to know is, is any development with the ZE500CL model in the progress or going to happen? I know this much

It can be rooted
xposed can be installled
Thats all i know.

A few questions I have are

Is it possible to switch the internal storage with the external sd on this device? Like using the external sd as internal storage default?

Will there be a custom rom for this model or is one being developed?

What will happen if you strip it of asus launcher and use stock android launcher or googles?

Sorry if this is the wrong forum or if I said something I shouldn't have, I've been lurkin since I was 14 but am just now making an account when I'm 18..

NOOB to Note 4, on OF5 with starter questions

Hello everyone, just picked up a note 4 and was wondering if i could get guided into the right direction.

Am hoping to install a custom rom, seeing as how my about me says that I am on OF5 I can root and install TWRP through ODIn via the instructions posted on galaxynote4root.com ?

If I want to use features such as S Note, sign pdfs, and have the thimbprint reader I assume I need to run a touchwiz custom rom? It was like that for the Note 2. Any guidance towards slimmed out roms? On my old S3 I was on darkslim and would love to find something of a fast and stable rom that can be themed entirely black while using the extra features of the note that are actually useful.

If I want to use viper audio does that lock me into aosp or touchwiz specifically?

From the little I have browsed so far, the NOTERIZED rom looks to be the one?
Other things that slightly stood out would be Hybrid-x, obar,SOKP?

What is the deal with 5.1.1? Something about a locked bootloader that forces use to run a custom kernel?Do I not have to worry about that because of OF5? Am I slightly screwed because I'm not on OB7? There's issues such as no wifi calling? Would this affect sprint spark? I'm in an area where this is available. ..

Any other suggestions? Are my desires too contradictory? Btw is there anything that allows me to have my wallpapers change everyday? I'm currently using AllianceRom for my note 2 and there is a feature in which the colors of my theme change everyday...



Would really appreciate any and all help.
Lastly,thanks again for reading this far.

OTA questions

Ok so I used a ruu and restored my phone back to stock. (Software status: Official) will I be able to receive ota updates now?

[Way too] Commonly asked questions

Commonly asked questions for the Note 4 N910A. I am seeing these same questions asked over and over and over and over and over again.


1) Is there root available?

There is NO permanent root available.
Temporary root is available ONLY if your phone hasn't updated past firmware OC4.


2) Can I install [this ROM] or [firmware from another Note 4 model]?

NO! We have a locked bootloader still. The only thing you can flash is firmware made for this phone by Samsung/ATT.


3) Will Kingroot or Klingo root work?

See #1. Kingroot is how you do the temp root mentioned in #1.


4) My OTA update won't install! HELP!

See my other thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=3226166


4) I'm not on ATT or not in the US, how do I update to the latest firmware?

See my other thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=3226166


5) Will this phone ever be rooted?

I don't know. Let me use my crystal ball to look into the future. Oh wait! NO ONE CAN TELL THE FUTURE!!!


6) What? This phone isn't rooted yet or has had the bootloader unlocked? It's been a year since this phone has been released!

GTFO... NOW! Run as fast as you can. We will be in hot pursuit with pitchforks and torches.

Got a new alpha and I have a few questions

So I got a new galaxy alpha (850F) which is an amazing phone by the way :) but i have a few questions
1) I noticed that sometimes the signal drops to 0 bars for a few seconds then comes back again, is that normal because of the metal frame or what ?
2)How much does the battery take to charge ?
3) I am still on Kitkat 4.4.4 and the lollipop OTA hasn't arrived where I live yet (I don't think it's coming anytime soon) so what's the best course of action, should I stay on kitkat ? Which official rom can I flash using ODIN ? Is there a toolkit for rooting and installing a custom recovery ?
If there are tutorials for these things I'll be thankful.

Very basic questions about rooting Kindle Fire

I'd like to root my Kindle Fire (2nd gen, I think - system version is 6.3.4_user4120720). I can't post a link to the method I'm planning to use, but a google search for "techhive how to root your kindle fire pcworld" will take you right to it.

My questions: Which version of the Android OS will I end up with when this process is done? Once the Kindle is rooted, is it then possible to install later (or the latest) versions of the OS, or does the device itself limit what can be installed?

The reason I want to root is that as certain web sites have become more complicated, the Silk browser has become pretty much useless. It's almost impossible to read the news any more. Pages bounce all over the place, or the browser crashes as pages load their nonsensical graphics and animations. I'm hoping that rooting will open up options for installing a better browser. In addition, my Kindle is no longer able to run the current version of Dropbox, which is important to me. And finally, it'll be refreshing to get rid of the stupid carousel!

Some Questions on Tab 4 7.0 SM-T237P

Greetings everyone.

I recently acquired a preowned Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 SM-T237P For a really good price off ebay. I have used Kingroot to root it and have installed have managed to install Phillz Clockwork Mod 6 touch. What I want to know If there are any custom roms that allow the colors of the settings and other menus or at least have the background of the menus be black and the text white. Is there a module that does this on Xposed Framework? Also what version of the GAPPS do I need and how do I install them. I also want to get all Sprint and Samsung apps off as I'm on AT&T and dont care about the 3g features. The reason behind the need for color mod is I am visually impaired and have trouble seeing anything on a bright background. I all ready know about the negative color feature in settings, the problem with that it inverts colors on everything. This tablet is going be used for gaming and videos mostly so thats all I'm interested in. I don't particularly care about what version of Android I have as long as it runs the apps and I can use wifi and bluetooth. Any help I can get would be greatly appreciated.

tmobile flex 2 questions

There's just so many threads with so many different providers around the world, i am really confused on a to-do list
Here's what I've gathered so far

In order to make the phone function properly, i.e. 5.1.1, it needs to be updated. Two ways:
1. install 5.1.1 PR
2. OTA via ATT via go phone sim ( sim + data fee)
there are no other viable solutions

Then once updated,
1. if on 5.1.1 PR, http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-fl...1-1pr-t3206091 needs to be performed in order for it to be functional
2. if on ATT, then http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-fl...lte-h-t3119001. after that, bloatware needs to be removed via rooting

am i missing anything? I am coming from a nexus 5, where everything was good out of the box....at least IMO

Samsung S5 G900F ROMS Questions

Hi everyone I need your opinion and suggestions regarding ROMS on this device.
I have Samsung S5 (SM-G900F ) and still confused on what ROMS should I get.
Therefore I need your suggestions and ideas my knox was 0x1 without doing anything.

My questions are:
• For STOCK ROM + Custom Kernel which is a good combination of stock ROM and custom kernel?
• For CUSTOM ROM + Custom Kernel which is the most stable and smooth one?

Currently using Sixperience V7 + Hispasian v7 but it is kinda laggy and buggy as of now.
I am a big fan of doubletap2wake so I want those custom kernel and compatible ROMs that support it.

Thank you for those who will notice and answer my questions.

A couple of questions about flashing

I flashed my phone first with stock 2.3.6 ROM using Odin 1.85 (with re-partition). Now I'd like to install CM11.

The problem is that CM11 requires CWM 6.0.4.5 and all CF-root kernels come with CWM 3.0.x.x. Is there any way I can root stock ROM with Odin and get the latest CWM immediately?

The way I came around this problem was to first root it with CF-Root-XX_OXA_JW4-v4.4-CWM3RFS, then install stable CM 10.2.1 which comes with the right version of CWM, then data wipe/factory reset + cache wipe, then installed CM11. Next came gapps, Semaphore 3.4.3s and KK44_BigMem_18-nov-13.

I'm thinking that something could have gone wrong because the install wasn't clean enough (the clock once showed 4 different time values, depending on which clock I was looking at on my screen - main clock, upper right or from the drop down menu). That was with bigmem enabled in Semaphore.

1) To perform a 100% clean install do I have to re-partition it with Odin? Or can I perform 'complete format' from within CWM that's important when installing new ROM?

2) If I'd like to switch kernel from Sema 3.4.3s to 3.4.3, what should I do? Is it enough to just install it with CWM recovery? Are wipes necessary? I think kernels are installed on 'Kernel' hidden partition, so there's nothing I can do to clear it somehow. Or do they put alter the boot partition as well?

Motorola style return questions

Hi
Today I received my style but I want to return the device , just a couple of questions that I can't find on the website.

1, I made the phone on the moto maker website with personal preferences so will this affect my return?

2, I haven't open the packaging, will this invalidate my return if I try out the phone?

Thanks in advance:good:

Some questions about Kernel and ROM

Hi there, I have some questions for you all... I hope that you can help me in a way or another because I don't really know what to do else.

I was looking for a way to maximise the battery life of my Note 3 LTE, so I found a good ROM and I thought it would get better at least a bit, but it didn't. It has only worsened. So I reinstalled the original firmware (Lollipop 5.0) and I rooted it, installing some apps like Greenify, Wakelock Director, Titanium Backup, Kernel Auditor, trying to configure them all in a good way, but the battery didn't get better, but it's like it was before (or maybe a bit worse).
So I found a tutorial here, on XDA (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2579075) but it is for Note 3 N9000 and it doesn't advise me a good kernel to use. I used the arter97 kernel using the original firmare with Nova Launcher but I got some issues (since the first time I turn on the phone, an error message appears saying "Phone is not working") so I wasn't able to use the phone with it and I didn't know how to solve that problem so I put back the stock kernel and now here we are.
Now:
-I can change the kernel, using another one, but I don't know which one. Can you advise me a good kernel for Lollipop 5.0 which improves battery and performance?
-Does anyone know how to solve that problem with the arter97 kernel?
-I saw a lot of tests with CAF Kernel and CM12.1 with other phones and the battery life is really amazing. Is it possible to install CAF Kernel with CM12.1 on my Note 3? It would solve all my problems, I guess...

I'll wait for your answers, thank you in advance... and sorry for my English, I'm italian, after all... >.<

Gt-S5570 questions

I have had a galaxy mini for a while and its just been gathering dust since I got an s5 so I decided to see what it can do. First I'm trying to install cwm but no matter where I look people always seem to brick their phones trying to install it. Does anyone know one that actually works? Also on the cm official website there is cm 7 for the mini but it does not specify whether it is for the gt-s5570 or just the s5570 .The last thing is can you use "apply update from sdcard" in the stock recovery to flash a ROM? It seems like it does the same thing so I'm wondering whether I need cwm at all.

AT&T HTC One M8 Questions and Problems Rooting...Help!

I know there has been many threads giving explicit instructions on how to unlock bootloader, gain s-off, and install TWRP recovery. But I am having problems/questions that no one (at least of what I've read) has encountered. I will try and make this clear for y'all but bear with me. Before I start just let it be known that I DO HAVE my bootloader unlocked. I ended up going to a cell phone repair place and paying a small fee to get my bootloader unlocked.
1. Do I need to gain s-off to be able to root and install TWRP recovery?
I say this because the I have tried the has00n application to unlock bootloader, gain s-off, root, and install TWRP recovery, but I ran into problems with my computer recognizing my device. I had all the necessary files downloaded (at least to my knowledge) but it honestly just wouldn't recognize my device.
2. If I do not need to gain s-off to install TWRP recovery and install a custom ROM (I'm going to be installing Cyanogenmod), how do I go about doing that?
Honestly I'm so fed up with this that I just want to sell this phone and get another one, all I want to do is get Cyanogenmod on this phone but it's so immensely difficult.

Please help me! I have been trying to get this accomplished for so long but I feel like because this phone is older all the info about how to root and gain s-off is outdated.....
All of your help is greatly appreciated!!

Stupid questions regarding getting a new Samsung Galaxy S5 G900A (AT&T)

If I were to right now get the Samsung Galaxy S5 AT&T ( http://www.att.com/cellphones/samsun...sku=sku7120234 ), is it known whether it will have a rootable version or not?

If I am unable to root the phone and keep it rooted, I'll most likely have to go with another phone. (Which would be a shame.)

I've read up some on the situation, and it seems as long as it is version 4.4.4 I would be fine.
And I would be able to update while keeping root if I follow this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-...proot-t3149146

So, I suppose the real question is how sure is it that you'll get the 4.4.4 (rootable) version of android?

And are there any downsides to doing so right now?

(I have a rooted phone now: An HTC First. The failed "Facebook" phone. It was very easy to root and receives no updates, so it's been hassle free, but it'd be nice to finally update.)

Potential convert with some questions...

Sup 'droids...

It's time for a new phone and I'm on the hunt doing research. Such a hard choice! I've had a Galaxy S1, S3 and S5 and loved them all so I went and got the S6 the other day without ever reading about it. When I went to install my ROM of choice I found out that Samsung is now officially releasing only the douche ROM...so I returned it 3 days later.

I read that the 5X was going to be released soon and also read some stuff on the Moto X Play (which is what it's called here in Canada, available at Telus). The 5X seems ok...I could potentially wait a month for that delivery (if Telus even carries it), or I could go get the Play or the G4 today--which seems to be the forerunner at this point due to it having slightly better specs than the Play.

My questions relate to custom ROM experiences. I like to have AOSP support with all the fancy settings available to me! I especially like hardware keys. My S3 was able to turn the flashlight on by holding the home key. I know the G4 doesn't have hardware buttons anymore so I'm not even sure if that's a thing. Maybe volume keys instead? That might create problems with track seeking though. Whatever...as long as there are options lol.

So...what kind of experiences--good and bad--have you guys had with this phone? Is there good ROM support? It seems like M will be out soon...does that mean the code will also be available for developers? I see a few ROM's available but unfortunately I can't test them out because I don't actually have the phone.

I'm sure I'll have more questions but thought I'd get a discussion going for those interested in sharing their experiences.

Thanks.

Couple questions before I sell my Note2 on Swappa.

Hey guys. It's been a while since I've poked around the Note 2 sub-forum. A year or so ago I picked up a pair of 2013 Moto X's for my wife and I to make my life a little easier. I had a note 2, she had a s3. Playing admin for two devices, and keeping up with their individual quirks was proving to take up too much of my time, so, we decided to stream line. I wouldn't say the Motos are better by any standard, but, making the switch has made my life easier.

Recently, we've decided to move. We started going through our drawers cleaning things out and found these devices and thought we should sell them. They're both bootloader unlocked, so, they can run the latest and greatest CM builds. The thing is though, I've pretty much forgot what I'm doing with them.

I don't want to odin the device back to 4.1 and re-unlock it all, but I do want to clean up the device so none of our information is on it before shipping it off to it's new owner.

Can anyone offer any advice on how to wipe on the Note 2? Any changes that I should be made aware of that's happened with the device in the last year or so? I was gonna flash the unofficial CM12 build with gapps but if there's any other recommendations I'd love to hear them.

Thanks in advance.
