I am having difficulty deciding where problems in my N7 originate.
I have been running Clean rom which seemed to be working fine except I couldn't get the tablet mode to work. I re-installed the latest version and was careful this time to select 'Tablet mode'. Everything was fine.
a day or two later I upgraded the launcher to Nova Prime and installed it mainly to support the developer and it worked fine as well.
Next a day later I upgraded Franco's kernel to R17 and things were fine till yesterday again a couple of days but then the label under my apps started to disappear occasionally. Since then Text+ and MX player have quit. I tried to re-install both but got an error saying insufficient storage although I actually have tons of space.
These problems did not happen right away after making a change, so now I need help in pinning down my issue, is it the kernel, the loader, or the rom?
I really enjoy trying out new things on this wonderful tablet and any help would be appreciated.
Good Afternoon guys... I update my M2 for CM 11 (android 4.4.2 Czechop 24.02.2014), this rom works fine, but this is consuming a lot of batery and the network 3G is very slow, in 5 minutes the use, this rom consumed 20% the batery... and the function daydream only works when inserted ind dockstation... even I selecting the option "both"... This is happened in the previous version too.
Sorry my english... this is not very good.
I can't confirm this problem.
On my device it works fine. The only problem are the spontaneous reboots. I think it happens when the MS2 is "overloaded". Too much progresses running at the same time. For example: i make updates at the Play Store, then check my mails and after that i switch to WhatsApp, Threema, etc.
Apart from this i'm really glad about czechop, sharing his work to us.
Thanks!
Hello all,
It appears my NFC sensor has quit working on my T-Mobile Galaxy S5. To provide some back story in hopes of finding a solution, here's what's going on:
A few days back, everything was running fine. I flashed an unofficial CM12 ROM (Albinoman887's) to my phone, which at the time had broken hotspot and no Netflix support. NFC worked for me at that point, as I used it to 'Tap n Go' when setting up my account to transfer everything to my S5 from my N7.
The next build that was released fixed Netflix for me, but since then I haven't been able to get any functionality out of NFC. According to the ROM developer, NFC works on his device, as it also does for several other T-Mobile S5 owners. I definitely believe that it works for them, but it's super frustrating to me that it won't for me -- even though I rarely use NFC. I'm just irritated at the thought that my sensor may have died and I have no idea why/how. The phone has never been dropped, so it shouldn't be shock damage.
It's also worth noting that I Odin'd back to my stock firmware, just to test NFC, and I couldn't get any NFC functions to work once I started fresh.
I'm not sure what my options are at this point, but I was hoping someone might have some input to help steer me in the right direction.
Quick update: I flashed a CM 11 ROM (Bliss Stalk, to be exact), and my NFC sensors now work like normal. I'm glad to see it's not dead, but I'm completely baffled as to why it doesn't work on CM 12, when the ROM developer is running the same device and it works for him.
Ahh, the perils of Android development. I'm still glad Lollipop is coming along so smoothly, and I apologize to @albinoman887 for being such a pain in his butt!
Heya,
So i experienced a lot of problems with the stock ROM on my S4 taking up way too much space and being kinda slow and crappy, so after hearing of CM and the speed increases and benefits it can have, i decided i'd give it a go, and for about a year now its been my daily driver.
However it has some issues, which are recently becoming more of a problem to me.
Now the first one might have seemed like a deal breaker to anyone else but honestly i wasnt too frustrated with it.
This issue is that the 3g connection with the device when im out and about straight up doesnt work. It shows red in the pull down menu and just doesnt work.
Next issue is that the camera has been severely downgraded in image quality.
Now recently i've been requiring the phone more than usual when out and about doing my job as tech support.
My issue is that i want these features to work correctly, but i dont want to run the stock ROM, can anyone advise how i can either fix these issue with CM or can you help me choose a different ROM which doesnt have these particular problems?
Run one of the Google Play Edition ROMs. Fewer problems will be had as these ROMs are versions of Android untouched by Samsung except for the inclusion of the libs needed to properly run the phone.
Another alternative is to go back to stock, but with the addition of some time spent in debloating the ROM, and with the addition of a new launcher to replace the stock version.
Excellent, thanks for the advice, i've now installed JFLTE after a bit of research and it's so far a very pleasant experience, ill report back if i have further problems with the mobile data connection but so far it appears to work.
Hi guys,
My LG V20 is my main, and also my work phone. My goal is to have the lightest ROM available while still having a stable feature set (speaker, bluetooth, wifi, etc all working normally)
After a bit of trouble, I finally got 14.1 Lineage OS loaded up and it's definitely lighter but I've been running into issues. People do not hear me well on speaker, bluetooth music play "skips", and now the bluetooth is no longer connecting to devices I've connected it to before.
I'd love to have something that removes all bloatware, but still has the stability of stock. Any recommendations?
I have a H910 AT&T Variant,
My job requires my phone. I mainly use my phone for Skype, WhatsApp, Email, Google Maps + Navigation, Playing FLAC music using High Impedance headphones and Car 3.5mm input, FM Radio, RockRadio.com app/Galaxie Radio(RadioKing) app and 4G LTE data.
I tried AOKP, RR, LOS, Alpha and Super...both ver. 7(Nougat) and 8(Oreo).
This took me a very long time to decide, I also tried older stuff like WETA, etc...
Alpharom Oreo works best for me, everything I listed works fine.
I use the mk2000 kernel, great battery life, with heavy use you need to fast charge sometime in the day.
The only problem I have, the wifi seems to go off when phone is inactive because whatsapp on pc keep saying not connected until you unlock/wake up phone.
But it is so awesome, I love it...
AOSP based roms have problems with audio and dac, it works but not loud and clean, I tried playing with mixer file but no luck.
They are much faster and LOS15 based roms have the second screen working with custom kernel...
Don't worry, it is work in progress...
This is just my opinion, and it suits my lifestyle, you need to try some different ones and see for yourself.
It's funny you mentioned Alpha being the one you like most. I was going through the roms yesterday, and couldn't install some of the Oreo based roms (I'd get an error that the kernel wasn't the correct one, I guess since I was coming from 14.1)
After looking through some, I ended up installing the alpha omega oreo rom with mk2 kernel and it is working great so far (I just haven't tested bluetooth yet).
I've lost all the sluggishness I saw before, especially when using "Ok, Google" to add calendar appointments, etc.
I have the second screen which is also a nice little bonus. Battery life seems to be as good as it's been, as well.
One question : I tried using Magisik to check all the bloatware I wanna hide, but it doesn't seem to do anything? Is there a way I can remove LG and ATT bloatware completely?
i am still using wetarom with weta kernel... since it was well developed and a stock base rom, i found no problem whatsoever while using it... even tho is outdated, no one has successfully hacked my phone yet lol
The alpha install lets you choose what bloatware you want to remove...
Flash the magisk zip right after before reboot, thats what I do...
You can disable whatever apps remain like uber, etc....
I just keep LG Smartworld for themes, LG Health, FM Radio and LG Music app.
I've been trying to get the LG AirDrive to work, it worked some time with older alpha build but it now keeps crashing.

WETA was/is a great rom but something about running the latest android appeals to me. Great performance/battery life and audio stuff.
So far alpha rom has been working well (still trying to find a safe list of bloatware that I can remove via ADB, or some other way.)
Only issue I'm having, which I also had before, is that bluetooth play (especially in the car, but no exclusively), will sometimes stutter like it's a 90's cd player. Not sure if it could be related to the case I have on the phone at all? I'll have to test it both ways and see what happens
Just run BluReset app included with the ROM (I think you have to select it) it helps but need to do it ever so often, I just use Bluetooth for calls in the car and 3.5mm for audio.
