Info on Mediatek
Right now my Mediatek seems to work just fine but I know that it is not working for most people. For some reason, when I go to the play store and search "Mediatek" and pick the app, it says that it is not installed yet and I can install it. I am not sure why this happens or how to fix it. I don't want to risk my watch connection and reinstall Mediatek but I am sure that if I did, I would have the same problem. I have found a few apps that look similar to Mediatek that I will post below. Please share if one of the apps worked.
The review
In the review, I included the APK that is working for me and a few other people.
Hopefully the APK works for you too and if you need any help, just leave a comment and I will usually respond within the next day or so.
APK Not available
Hi,
As I mentioned in your review, I just scanned the QR code, website opened succesfully, but links to download the APK are offline. Do you have the APK for me?
The Mediatek app on the playstore keeps saying "Connecting...". Tried everything, reinstall, reset of the watch, none of them worked.
Also, is there anyway to customize the firmware or install / program extra applications?
Thanks!

I can upload the apk that I am currently using to my review tonight and the only way to customize the firmware/apps that I know of are the 3 apps that you can download from the Mediatek app (Yahoo weather, Codoon, Digital watchface)

Thanks for uploading, too bad it's the same version as the one on Play Store. Application keeps saying "Connecting.." while the watch connects perfectly by bluetooth. Reset / reinstall nothing did the trick.
Guess MediaTek wasn't joking with their description:
Special Explanation：
This APK is not suitable for NO.1 G2 watch, please do not use it to connect the G2 watch. Please contact with the manufacturer or watch saler to get help.

Thanks for the quick response and help. Will try the APK as soon as I get home from work. I'll let you know if this one works, I think it will.
I saw another app at the playstore with the same version of the MTK apk u just uploaded, and that one connected directly to the watch. Only problem was that it was only in Spanish. So I hope the apk u just uploaded will work the same

Hello,
I tried to install the APK, but after the download when i try to open the application , it can not be opened.
The other APK, that has the massage "it may not work" is not working for me. I can install the app, but not connecting.
Can you please help me?

So it seems that the newest version of the APK (one with message "it may not work") does not seem to be working for anyone. the other APK has worked for me and a few others. If it can't be opened I would check that you can install APK from unknown sources in settings but, if you were able to install the other APK then that is not the problem. Try re-downloading the working APK and re-installing it.
Is there an error message or number when you try to install the APK? If so please tell me and I might be able to do some more research.

ned help with firmware upgrade
I just got my G2 today and tried to upgrade the firmware to the alternate version with Hebrew support. I followed the directions but get stuck on 0% . I think that the drivers were not installed correctly as when I ran the driver installation prog. (as admin) it gave me the message that XP drivers were installed sucessfully. I tried going into the vista/V7 folder and right clicking the .inf file to install but got the same message that you got in the other thread that this inf can't be installed this way. How did you get around this problem and install the correct drivers?

Neither of these helped. I still had driver problems. I finally solved the problem by installing the drivers on an old Windows 7 32bit system.. Once they were installed, everything went smoothly. Now I have a different problem. I found a language "C" ROM dated 04-10-2015 and flashed this. It is newer than the "C" ROM on No.1's site which is from 03-02-2015. Unfortunately, in both of these ROM's the Pedometer and the heart rate monitor don't work. Anyone have a newer ROM that they do work in?
BTW, I received the watch with a ROM dated 07-06-2015 and it had "motion" in the settings which allowed the watch to be turned on by wrist movement. also to answer calls and to turn off alarms. It worked very nicely, but it was a "A" language ROM so I overwrote it with the older ROM. I wish that No.1 would make it publicly available and also the "C" language version of it.
please help

These are problems that we have already met some Rom's also the black status bar , we had this worry on the Rom imperium , I recovered the TouchWiz an article and not a rom. The smart manager is one of origin but rather than put it into priv-app I place the smart manager in app where I have no worries in terms of the gallery is a file that a colleague us provides to address the concerns of gallery , it also works well for S5 or S6 gallery , it is not part of a specific rOM.
So these are files that I always keep aside in case ...

Dear Experts,
I (have to be) using the ROM of artas182, because it's the only ROM which working encryption (that I could find till now).
But it is a port from Galaxy S5, so everything there looks huge. I have downloaded a program to reduce the DPI. The icons
got smaller, but there is a huge border of wasted space around everything and the grid of the home screen and the apps
is still 4x5.
Can please anyone kindly provide a modded TouchWizHome.apk for Marshmallow with a 5x5 or 5x6 grid ?
I found a few others, but when I tried them by replacing my original TouchWizHome, it simply says TouchWizHome has
stopped working. I even tried to wipe Dalvik cache once, but it didn't help
I have also tried installing S Launcher, but sorting the icons is quite cumbersome and I think it made my phone slower.
PLEASE help me with this, I will be very very thankful!

Hello and many thanks for your reply. Yes, I would like to give it a try !! Can you please post a download link ? Why is it not smooth ? Do you think that it won't be crashing with TouchWizHome has stopped ?
I have changed the DPI with an app from 480 (which was default of the artas ROM) to 400. The original TouchWizHome from the ROM isn't crashing, but it leaves a big frame of wasted space around it. Will your TouchWizHome match my DPI setting of 400 ?
Till now I have tried S Launcher and Next Launcher. Both are cool and working fine, but unfortunately they are not comfortable to use, as it's not possible to add screens in the app drawer - for example, I keep the apps which come with the ROM on a separate screen, games as well and here I don't have this possibility.
Many thanks!

Thank you! I will try to do that, but you'll really save me a LOT of time, if you could paste the direct link here.
Do you think that this won't be crashing ? I downloaded quite a few TouchWizHome.apk files and they all are crashing... Could that be caused by my setting of 400 DPI ? But TouchWizHome.apk that comes with artas' ROM is not crashing...
Next Launcher and S Launcher aren't crashing either...

Sorry, I am not sure that I fully understand you. Is there ONLY TouchWizHome .apk posted ? And what is Grace UX ? I went a little bit through the topics and I have come to the conclusion, that Grace UX is a whole ROM. So you probably mean, that I should download that whole ROM and exctract TouchWizHome.apk and replace that in my ROM ? Is that correct please ?
Thank you!

Do you think that this won't be crashing ? I downloaded quite a few TouchWizHome.apk files and they all are crashing... Could that be caused by my setting of 400 DPI ? But TouchWizHome.apk that comes with artas' ROM is not crashing...
Next Launcher and S Launcher aren't crashing either...

OK, due to some weird reason, this won't work. I've reset my phone and restored a backup (which is with the old DPI settings). Now I've put your file, set the permissions and rebooted - I found myself in the so called easy screen, where the icons are even much bigger than before
Android 6 is the most frustrating phone experience I ever had!
Isn't there an Android 4.3 ROM for this phone ? I found one on google, but unfortunatly it didn't boot Thank you!
Yes sammobile etc .

Anyway if U want to flash stock firmware of samsung always use this site than sammobile. Sammobile doesnot provide 4files firmware so it may create issues after boot. Choose your galaxy note 3 model number and download any android version u want. But backup everything on internal storage. Best of luck

Hello and many thanks for your reply. Yes, I would like to give it a try !! Can you please post a download link ? Why is it not smooth ? Do you think that it won't be crashing with TouchWizHome has stopped ?
I have changed the DPI with an app from 480 (which was default of the artas ROM) to 400. The original TouchWizHome from the ROM isn't crashing, but it leaves a big frame of wasted space around it. Will your TouchWizHome match my DPI setting of 400 ?
Till now I have tried S Launcher and Next Launcher. Both are cool and working fine, but unfortunately they are not comfortable to use, as it's not possible to add screens in the app drawer - for example, I keep the apps which come with the ROM on a separate screen, games as well and here I don't have this possibility.
Many thanks!

Thank you. Just I have Android 4.3 on my old phone (SGS3) and it's just perfect. Everything works. This is why I'd like to have it on my Note 3 as well. The model is SM-N9005. I tried at least 10 custom ROMs and it's such a scan - encryption simply doesn't work nowhere !!! Terrible !!!
This website you sent me - what format are the ROMs ? I have TWRP and I don't plan on flashing stock recovery, as it's soooo lame. I downloaded once a stock ROM but it wasn't a .zip and I somehow couldn't flash it.
Many thanks!

Which S5 port ? Do you mean the one by artas ? I don't know what I did wrong either. But it's the same with all TouchWizHome.apk files I tried. I am renaming it to exactly that name and I am making the permissions 664, just as the original ROM and then baaaaaang, stopped working once I reboot!
Anyway, I think I'll stay with my current setup - 400 DPI and Next launcher. I'll just live with the fact that I can't have the games on a separate screen :-/

Hi, I download a 4.3 ROM from this website but I cannot deploy it with TWRP. It says can't find /META/.... whatsoever. PLEASE HELP...
Finally, today my G870F arrives. I have mixed feelings at the moment, but please do confirm me if I know well.
- I can use any Galaxy S5 G900F roms, if rooted and has TWRP installed.
- The active button will not work (I don't care)
My other question is, that will the hardware buttons work (home, menu... )?
Thanks a lot!
Old topic, but I build my own LineageOS 14.1.
I've been using it for a week now and no known bugs, except Activity button does not work.

You'll need opengapps or similar and I rooted with Magisk right after:
- factory reset / dalvik cache
- flash rom
- flash opengapps
- flash magisk.

I can't take credit for ROM, I just compiled it from source.
Credit go to javelinanddart: https://github.com/LineageOS/android_device_samsung_klteactivexx
before i begin, this is my 1st thread for anything like this. i have had this info for quite some time now. the following is for those who want louder volumes and or dual speaker for any type of media. louder volumes will be louder everything! Spen, calls, notifications, etc.
ONLY FOR THE NOTE 9. ROOT ONLY
Additionally i have some custom Spen sounds. see the post 1 for more info on that! now without further hesitation.
YOU CAN FLASH THESE VIA TWRP OR YOU CAN MANUALLY INSTALL VIA VENDOR/ETC/ REPLACE THE GAINS AND SUCH AS IT SHOWS AND MAKE EVERYTHING YOU REPLACE RW-R-R OR 0644
View attachment 4615416
View attachment OREO_MAGISK_S9_S9+_DualSpeaker.zip
View attachment OREO_TWRP_S9_S9+_DualSpeaker.zip
Follow instructions as described and you will have success.
#1 download
#2 flash via magisk twrp or manual install
#3 reboot and profit!
TO INSTALL THE SPEN SOUNDS READ READ READ THE INSTRUCTIONS INCLUDED!
Donations are not needed but are welcomed and help keep me going. i do this as a hobby and would like to make a job of it someday if able.
THIS IS FOR ROOT ONLY AND ONLY FOR THE EXYNOS VERSION OF THE NOTE 9. THE 9600 VERSION COULD WORK BUT I DO NOT OWN ONE TO TEST.
Is this method must root or not?

exactly. i made the thread because i am tired of having to search n search for stuff id want and require on my devices and more often than not, coming up empty handed so i made a thread for those who are like me in that regard. yes the xml fiels i have listed are for the s9. yes they work for thre note 9 and note 8 and pretty much any device running oreo. however, the spen stuff is pretty unfamiliar and thought id share since not even the note 8 threads make mention of it. your welcome

@this.guy.lol Is the manual installation and magisk installation any different? I think the magisk installation only gives you louder speakers but the manual installation also gives you louder headphone volume.. I could be wrong though
