Hi all,
I noticed that the Google Edition Roms are starting to trickle in (Pulled from the Google Editions of our phone). Will we be able to flash it on our AT&T devices?
This will definitely make me flash instead of sticking with TW now. The Verge is reporting that they got a 3rd party remote app to work with their Google Edition S4!

Yes you should, just be sure to flash the att kernel and superuser zip before exiting recovery. Also, double check, but I've read you need the touchwiz version of our kernel not the aosp version which seems odd to me. From the reports I've read though, the google edition rom is very much a work iin progress. It's probably better to just wait a few days for the major s4 rom developers to incorporate the goodies into their roms.
I used the ROM that's going around for the i377m does not flash the Modem so those are both stock and the ROM runs perfectly from what i can tell so far (only been a few hours, still need to test LTE properly).
I think that the touchwize framework is still integrated deep in the ROM, it's just all the top level stuff has been removed. I've even heard reports of the touchwize camera, dialer and such working on the google edition.
Edit:
The ROM does flash the kernel, I'm using the [email protected] kernel and the phone is functioning properly.

Hey all, I've come here to ask these basic questions...since this is the place where gurus come.
I'm currently in possession of an a500 running stock 3.2 however I can not update it or even use the google play store to download apps as the a500 is no long supported. Are there any work arounds to get the play store to work on a stock rom (and how could I update it to ICS)? I think it's pretty ****ed up that by dropping support for it you can no longer download a thing from it.
I say this because the owner of this tablet is not at all good with technology and would greatly appreciate the vanilla experience of android compared to a custom rom.
And I'm not all that familiar with how the play store operates on custom roms so my next questions are:
1. If a custom rom was to be used which is the most stable?
2. If using a custom rom will the play store become usable again?
Thank you all!

Play store, as far as I know should work fine on a stock install. It has worked for me in every single ROM I have ever used, including stock roms.
Since you got it used - the prior owner may have screwed something up. Done a factory reset yet?
Google play store has always worked on all my ROM's, sounds like something else is wrong.
Probably best to make a nandroid backup and change or reinstall a Custom ROM after the correct WIPE method of that ROM.
Google play store will automatically update to newest version 3.10.10 or you could download a newer version, but i'm sure that will not fix ur problem...
Best to restart with a ROM u know is new to your tablet...This will be easier to troubleshoot in future
and before your install ROM, wipe everything (except External SDCARD)
at this point all will be fresh and only problems will be with ROM (unless you have hardware isues), but you won't know until you change ROM
I recomend TWRP Recovery 2.3.3.1, not CWM

The play store works fine, you have something borked on your tablet.
Sounds like you prefer to return to Acer stock Rom. If so, go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1816560 and dowload the 3.01 EUU for the A500, (not for the A501), flash it in APX mode, go to Play store, update (like, at least 4 times) and you will be on stock Acer ICS 4.03.
Your welcome (for clicking thanks!)
Hi All,
I use a banking app called easybanking from BNP fortis in Belgium. It works on Touchwiz based roms (Omega, Echo etc...) and CM 11 but I can't get it to work on Danvdh GE rom, which is unfortunately is my favorite.
What happens is the touch screen buttons are disabled, this happens both when I do a new install or from the TB backup from a work rom, the app launches but I can't interact with it. The support team for the bank simply says they don't support rooted phones, but since TW and CM roms work, I figure there must be something specific to the GE rom, Anyone have any ideas, similar issues?
I've tried Hide my root, rootcloak (plus) but no luck.
I'd ask in the rom specific forum, but I don't have access to post
Any ideas would be welcome
Thanks
Scott
Hi there everyone!
I've downloaded a lot of .apk files claiming to install the Google dialer on a non-rooted S4 but so far all have failed to install. Is it possible to get this dialer on a non-rooted S4 and if so, which one should I be downloading?
Thanks for your time!
The dialer only works on Pixel, Nexus, Android One, and Google Play Edition devices running Android 6 or higher. You're running Android 5.0.1, thus the dialer will always refuse to install.
Root, then install an AOSP ROM and GApps package to use the dialer.

Thank you very much for your help!
I was told on another forum that I could not root or replace the ROM on this phone, as Verizon prevented it with the last OTA update. Is this not true?
@schwim: The fact you have a Verizon device and have taken an OTA means you can't change ROMs to a newer version. Such information would have been more helpful if placed in your initial post, but no matter. The upshot here is that there is nothing you can do that will allow you to install the Google dialer.
I'm looking to use the NFC Card Emulator app with an S8 to emulate my apartment's NFC access card.
I've already done this on my Pixel with no issues--all it really needs is root. But with Samsung phones it's a bit more complicated since apparently Samsung stock doesn't allow you to write to the NFC configuration file, even with root. Supposedly it is possible with a non-stock ROM.
So, before I go on a possible trial-and-error ROM flashing spree, I'm wondering if anyone is aware of any S8 ROMs here that would work for this (or if anyone is actually emulating NFC now and if so, what ROM are you using to do so). Many of the ROMs are stock based, and I'm not sure if that would entail the same limitations on NFC writing.
Cheers

The Xposed one? I hope your have an exynos cause it doesn't work with any snapdragon rom as they are all based off stock

No, it's standalone on the Play store. It can use Xposed to broadcast NFC with screen off, but doesn't need Xposed to work. My Pixel is on stock 8.2 beta 2 and obviously not running Xposed, and the app works just fine so long as the screen is on (even without unlocking). I have my elevator access card written to it so I just tap my phone to use the elevator.
The S8 that I'm trying to replicate this on is one of the Exynos chip models, it's the G950FD. On the app itself, it warns that Samsung devices on stock ROMs won't be able to use the app because Samsung locks the NFC config file, but that any non-stock ROM (and they give Aurora ROM as a specific example) will work fine. Aurora ROM says that it's based on "Samsung Experience 8.1" which I assume means that it's stock based. What I'm wondering is, does that mean I should be able to use any stock based ROM (as long as it isn't actually just stock) and have this work.

Really, I was thinking of that specific app as I installed it from play store. When it didn't work I apparently mistakenly assumed it was due to Xposed when it sounds like it was due to the stock s8 ROMs NFC bits. Good to know! Thanks for the info.
Did it work after all?
Is there no way to do this?
I really want it
I'm trying to use my tablet more, which I haven't because it gets hot in the back and the charger is slow to charge the battery... I thought of seeing if there's a decent alternative ROM.
Currently I'm on LOS 14.1 (2018-12-23) - any suggestions?
https://download.exynos5420.com/LineageOS-14.1-Deathly/n1awifi/
Charging is fast as long as you use the original charging adapter...
On the deathly build you can set the charging current with the included app "Deathly Auditor" (customized Kernel Auditor).
it drains the battery very fast! is there another better Rom that you recommend?
Here is a highly regarded custom ROM for the Note 10.1 2014: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...om-resurrection-remix-n-sm-p600-wifi-t3606313
I been flashing my sm-600 wifi for 5 years now, here is what I experienced. I have tried all roms for my device and it seems no custom rom charges as fast as the lastest stock roms even though it's 5.1. the nougat roms and the couple marshmallow roms all charge very slowly. I have tried different cables and chargers and even a new battery only to find out that it was the roms. I used Accu battery to finally figure that out. So stick with stock, all apps and Samsung browser work just fine and it will charge in half the time with a 2.0 charger. I also removed all Google apps and download and upgrade my apps though apkmirror and all work just fine with stock rom, I hope this helps.

There’s LineageOS 14.1, 17.1, and 18.1, all available in the device forums.
My SM-P600 is currently running an old version of LOS (14.1-20200411). It seems stable, but I'm wondering if it's still worth an update - would I likely see any improvement? Or, am I better sticking with the old; if it ain't broke, don't fix it?
What would be the most stable rom and build? Looking through the Dev threads, it looks like some of the LOS 18.1 aren't too stable, but I'd rather stability and battery life over more recent Android.

In 2023, if someone is still using this tablet like me, I recommend the Android 10 version. It works best when very few apps are installed and can run most apps in the playstore.

Hey body, how were you able to install the android 10 in this piece of art of tablet. I'm still using it and it´s amaze. But I'm using the 7.1 .
I've been using LineageOS 14 for a while, and it has pros and cons:
Pros: better battery performance, Android 11 with updated features and apk versions, no more forced to keep installed ****ty OEM's software.
Cons: at least 1 random crash per day, S-Pen didn't work as smooth as with the original firmware (probably due to some Samsung S-Pen framework), I only managed to take notes on PDFs buying Squid (no Write on PDF available) and palm rejection didn't work anyway.
Since last Sunday (June 11th) WiFi and Home button had stopped working, so I decided to go back to the official 5.1.1 firmware. Now everything works again, and I can again edit PDFs with S-Pen and its palm rejection (which I missed so much).
I will continue using 5.1.1 unless somebody can guarantee that there is any Lineage build in which S-Pen works with as much quality as in the official firmware.
