I know it's been touched on here and there (I.E.), but I haven't found a dedicated thread to it, and I know I'm definitely not the only one who is plagued by the annoyance. It seems like some have been able to get around the issue with the international version of the phone, but the North American version appears to be quite the hurdle. Either that, or the devs for all our favorite SMS apps aren't from the good ol' US of A, and don't really care about that feature. Either way, It's annoying to have cutting-edge technology in the palm of my hand without any reliable and simple means to have something other than a solid red LED regardless of the notification it represents. On the thread linked above, I noted that some were able to get a blinking notification, I've had no such luck. Perhaps they weren't rooted. I do recall the day I got my phone, before anything had been modified whatsoever, that the LED would flash blue, but once I got GoSMS Pro installed, it changed my SMS to solid red, and has been such ever since. Nothing at all that I have tried will change it.
TLDR: Has anyone found a way to stay on a custom ROM and/or launcher, AND set different color LED for notifications (as well as blink intervals) within the realm of SMS?

I thought about doing CM9, but last I read it doesn't look to be a finished product? I kept up with the thread on it for a bit after its release, and it seemed there were still bugs.

Awesome, I will flash it tonight, and play around with it.
Still curious if anyone has found a workaround on any TW-based ROMs :good:
Lightflow seems to be actively trying to work on the problem.

I stopped by the other S4 forum (i9500/i9505) and noticed users reporting a new firmware update. Some mentioned faster transitions and camera updates as well as some other things.
Has anyone got a Ota of this? Or would we (T mobile) not get it?
Also wondering... if your rooted, would you even get a notification about it?
Thnx

The firmware of the international version is not the same as firmware released by carriers. Carriers add a lot of stuff to their firmware and they do their own testing on them. It may take months for a carrier to release an update after the international version got it.
Since this is a new phone, I am sure T-Mobile will eventually release an update (most likely several updates). Just be patient.

I found a website that has manual firmware updates for the different variations, but unfortunately I didn't save it. It's out there though, just Google it and I'm sure you'll run across it like I did, sorry couldn't be more assistance, if I find it again I'll post the link.
Edit: Okay I found it quicker than I thought I would, lol. Here's the link, hope it helps:

Thanks for the clarification and info guys.
Definitely patient.. I dont have many issues w my s4 except home key timing, so I was hoping for fix.
Maybe some one can take a look at new firmware and see if there is any info within that could benefit our (tmo) devices?
I would do it but im not as proficient and knowledgable as some of our other members.

I have the i9500 and got the update a few days ago. The description from the update manager was "improved stability" which means they are ironing out the kinks. Another thing that is going to be updated and will surely be on your variant is locked kernels. This is a kernel level that blocks superuser from even executing code. Workarounds will have to be found/kernels compiled.

if you're referring to the home button lag, then just disable s voice like everybody else did, even back in the days of the S3. go into the s voice app and hit the settings button on lower left of your phone, then tap settings, then un-check the 2nd option "open via the home key".
as far as updates, t-mo is usually the 1st or 2nd carrier to get it in the US, but nothing yet. i'm hoping they'd fix the camera shutter lag that i love from the old s3. sigh...
Hey guys, I recently found an SPH-P100 in a dumpster (score! :victory and I was quite disappointed to see that there's a terrible lack of development for these devices. As such, I've forked the newest device configuration available on github, and I'll be working to release a wider variety of ROMs and to complete hardware support as much as possible. Unfortunately, there is very little I can do to address the complete lack of 3G support, as I have no service whatsoever on my device.
Now, the ROM! This is a clean build of PAC-man 4.3 for p1c. I have removed the hardcoded verizon-specific properties and model identifiers as a first step towards proper support of both Verizon and Sprint models, but no functionality is changed from the newest CM10.1 builds.
I notice that there are not any PAC builds for p1(l|n) posted either, so if there is adequate interest I may begin builds for those devices as well.
TWRP 2.6.3.0 is the included recovery, and has full SELinux support. (Compatible with KitKat ROMs!)
Downloads
PAC 4.3.1 -- Build Date 1-17-2014:
p1c: Androidfilehost | Direct MD5: 5b817c6c94753f136e3fa7b98d6326c0

First build of PAC for this device
You are definately right. As of right now, there are no developers working on the p1c. The last one i remember was stimp0z, and his son broke his tab. So, all the developers are now gsm based. Terenceng does have a kit kat version for the p1c. I have it on my other tab. Anyway, the developers all went to kit kat.
If i can be of help, let me know.

first up - great to see someone working on development for the p1c - good score finding one in the bin!
to make things clearer - i was never a developer for the p1c, my old tablet (the p1 GSM version) was broken by my youngest son recently. my work on the p1c was purely guess work / diagnosed via my testers. p1c lost it's support from it's main developer (jt1134) before kernel 3.0 was released so without a developer to work on p1c related issues, it was hit and miss all the way. both humberos and myself had it booting, but it never worked with data (though attempts were made). now due to a generous donation from one of my CDMA testers, i will soon receive a Sprint tablet he has spare so i can continue developing - which means it will be a lot easier for me to work on issues facing the CDMA variants (but will never be able to test data myself as I live in Australia, not USA).
however - the more developers that work on the p1c the better, so please keep working on whatever you can - also working on something different to CM is definitely called for as i believe the users deserve a choice between custom ROMS for their SGT7.
if you wish to have a crack at data already - shoot me a pm and i'll give you some commits to look into that may help you on your way.
I am another P1C user, the last build around here that worked for me was alrodger's 4.1.2
Terenceng's does not work on my P1C, I am on verizon and it doesn't find the carrier and never activates.
P1C is only $75 on ebay these days for refurbished, great value.
I was kinda hoping to find a kitkat build for p1c that works but none exists and doesn't seem forthcoming by anyone.
I guess I will try 4.3.1
Does this have working usb and wifi tether? That's a biggie for me.
---------- Post added at 06:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:19 PM ----------
Okay I get the same failure trying to install this that I got with alrodger's final build.
using TWRP from the last kitkat flash, I wipe everything except the external sd card
then I try to install the rom and I get
assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") ==
and a long list of devices
does that mean I have a device not in that list?
it then says
"E:Error executing updater binary in zip"
Also on 4.1.2 on my Sprint tab 7. I'm downloading and will give it a run. I dont have 3G but I'll report back after install.
terenceng is working on 4.4 and has "Coming Soon" for the PC1 but been a while. so now one is working on 4.4.
thanks ultravioletnanokitty for giving the P100 some love.
Update : ROM installed with out issue also used PAC gapps. WiFi OK camera OK feels quicker than 4.1.2. So all good for last 30 minute of use. Thanks for this rom dude nice job.
Cheers
update: okay I remembered how to get back to basics and I used heimdall to sideload cwm bootloader recovery
very fun looking rom, however it suffers from the same problem as Terenceng's:
it does not find the verizon radio/carrier and crashes when I try to manually activate it

Hi again, as stated before I do not have 3G connection plan on my Sprint tab, So I cannot test connectivity to 3G. All other functionality I can test.
Rom working nicely, few issues with following apps:
Netflix: movie never starts playing
Youtube: video never starts playing, "There was a problem while playing, Touch to retry"
Pandora: Audio does not start
Google Play Music: Audio does not start
Timely alarm clock: The set time to ring caused app stop
Navigation in all these apps is OK just issue when playing something
Apps working well:
iHeartRadio: Working OK
Gmail: Ok
Camer: pictures OK
Ebay: seems to be working ok but have not tested placing a bid
Let me know what else I can check, weekdays have little time to test but should be able to get something done.
Let me know what you want me to check or report on?
Cheers

media playback is flat-out broken in all p1x 4.3+ roms, i believe... also, i've never found charging while the device is on to work at all... if i leave it plugged into my laptop with the screen off overnight, it gets up to 99%. if i want to fully charge it the only option i've found is to power it off and plug it in. i don't have the original samsung charger or cable, though, so that could be it. regarding the keyboard, are you using gapps? i am on my tab, and i don't have any issues... it could be an issue with the aosp keyboard, though.
I just also recently picked up one of these guys, my actual intentions for mine is to get it on verizon prepaid using a extravert as a donor phone and tethering the 3g. I seen a guy offering a service to flash them but I am a bit unsure I would rather do it myself. Have you ever looked into this yet. You might get more bars with verizon than you do with sprint. Plus at like 10 bux a month unlimited internet isn't tp bad ( if you buy a $30 card good for 3 monthes IE $10 a month)
Let me know if I can be of assitance, Looking to flash a light weight rom.

It is my understanding (but not firsthand experience) that verizon can detect this within a couple of months and kill the imei, so be careful.
Instead I got onto a friend's family plan for $10 a month legit (but data cap of course)
Do I install this in recovery?

Lets say I work for Verizon in a department that has privy info and tools at my disposal and I will tell you we have a tool called MVD it is a Mobile Virtual Diagnostic it can detect root and will show if the tool is run. The thing is it is only loaded for tools that have the most current version of My Verizon application installed 10.0 or higher. Anything prior to that it won't load your info so root can't be seen with general tech tools. Just FYI... I am happy you all are working on SCH-I800 But I can't seem to find the the Root and Tar files to load... Any image files link?

Well, that explains the lack of sound and the fact that all video apps crash.
Seriously though, this ROM is a significant improvement for me compared to Cyanogenmod 9.1 (4.0.4). My Tab is far more stable than it was, and has only crashed on me once, forcing me to do a factory reset.
Can I flash back to an earlier ROM, say 4.2.2 or 4.0.4, without bricking my Tab? I have seen on the AT&T Galaxy S 3 (SGH-i747) board that S 3s that updated OTA to 4.3 will hard brick if flashed to an older ROM, so I am concerned.
Also, how close in hardware is the p1c to the Galaxy S GT-i9000? I have several i9000 ROMs on my computer, and if it is close enough, I might be able to get media working on mine. Worth a try. :fingers-crossed:
Since the official ROM thread is closed for the foreseeable future, I figured those of us who are running, not running away from, the AOSP Android 7 ROM by @Schischu need a place to discuss bugs, find solutions, etc.
Of course, given the situation, we can't officially recommend the ROM, no matter how much we might love it. So we assume that if you are posting here, you already have the ROM installed, and have read all of the original thread.
Schischu will probably not be helping out with this thread. I haven't even asked him about starting it. I have had no part in the ROM's development, so this is strictly UNOFFICIAL. Think of it as a twelve-step program for those who have been left hanging by this situation. Hopefully some of the guys from the original thread who are real devs will be nice enough to chime in. And, hopefully we will inspire Schischu to return to the development of the ROM and resolution of whatever underlying issues that led to the suspension of the old thread.
I think we should start with a known bug list, and I'll come back a little later and post a few that I am aware of.
My personal bug list:
T-700
·Graphics glitches when changing screen orientation or swapping between apps
·Certain streaming apps (USA Now, Syfy Now in my case) won't stream video
·Slow charging while the tablet is on
·Camera Apps freeze (Stock, better camera) when trying to record video, don't access full camera resolution
·I'll add more if I find/think of any
T-800
·YouTube videos stutter while playing
I may try to keep this as a comprehensive list, but I won't always be able to, so no promises.
What we're the issues that caused the thread to be closed? I'm running it on a T800 and it's been fine. Was it security issues or legal/admin issues?

Update : here's the answer to the question I posed below. Apparently the AOSP MM will not get further develop either. The issues all surround a GPL compliance complaint which the Dev denies. See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=68673187
I agree and that the thread's close message was rather vague. Is the Dev continuing to support his aosp MM ROM? I may just return to that one (nandroid backup) as the YouTube stutter is too annoying if it won't be fixed for a very long time. I liked the Nexus feel of this tablet over going the Samsung stock route.

Sounds like he's not doing any development on either of them for the time being. I'm sticking with the N ROM for now, even with the problems. YouTube has been fine for me, fwiw.
It's pure speculation, but I have to guess that someone is accusing him of using code from their version of the kernel. If there are usability or stability issues with the kernel, then that's what I'm hoping we can figure out with this thread, and if Schischu does not return to working on it, then maybe we can install an N-friendly kernel from another dev when one comes available.

The MM6 is very stable but multiwindows that any mods can't add on marshmallow is very useful on a tab. I use N7 on my t800 with the bugs (yt bug too ) but for me when I update to a new Android version and use it for a while, downgrade is very hard I will continue use N7 anyway and hope to see schischu coming back for a simple reason is that he's roms are very popular.. future will tell us
So you gotta love this, I have tried twice to send the dev a PM regarding the closing of the other thread, once with the app on my Tab S, and once just now on the web. Neither message shows up in my sent items. Is this normal?
On my T-800, I have the following minor issues which I have not really tried to troubleshoot (with the exception of #3):
1) graphical glitches on rotate and power off
2) not able to see all widgets provided by one app - specifically BeautifulWidgets - I can scroll through their widgets, but it stops half way through one icon and doesn't scroll to the rest
3) I was experiencing about 25% less battery life relative to 5.0.2 (I didn't try MM), but this seems to have settled down now and I'm getting close to what I saw on 5.0.2
4) GPS appears to get location, but GPS Status App seems limited to 4 satellites and does not indicate a fix has been obtained
5) I have a hard time getting into Recovery mode - the power option built in the ROM and Quick Boot app - both reboot to recovery goes to black screen and frozen tab - have to do Vol Down - Home - Power combo to get it to come back alive, but it comes to the Download mode screen. If I cancel out of Download mode, it sometimes goes to Recovery, but more often goes to black screen and frozen again. If I try Vol Up-Home-Power combo nothing happens.
EDIT: for #5 - i waited a bit longer on the black screen and hit power - recovery popped up. This may be related to a historical screen time out issue which has already been identified elsewhere
EDIT 2: for #5 - I seem to be stuck - I made it into recovery after a number of tries and turned off the screen timeout option. Now it won't boot into either recovery or system - just goes to black screen again. I can still get into Download mode so I'll have to wait until I can plug into a PC at home and try ADB fastboot - does anyone have any other suggestions?

schishu went ballistic over the fact that a lot of people were sending money to get their devices on nougat which led to a half bake ROM with a lot of problems, schishu being who he is, never give any support and just let everyone deal with their problems.. Therefore the moderator said enough is enough and just closed the thread until schishu get his sh** together... And it's not me who've made a complaint..... Schischu did a very good job on the MM6 , it's only a good guess.......

schishu went ballistic over the fact that a lot of people were sending money to get their devices on nougat which led to a half bake ROM with a lot of problems, schishu being who he is, never give any support and just let everyone deal with their problems.. Therefore the moderator said enough is enough and just closed the thread until schishu get his sh** together... And it's not me who've made a complaint..... Schischu did a very good job on the MM6 , it's only a good guess.......

I'am a person who donated to Schichu after his efforts with Nougat so quickly created while Samsung at that point still had not made Marshmallow readily available. I did that not as much for his Nougat ROM but because I'd been using his mature AOSP Marshmallow ROM for months already at that point. I find it difficult to see the words "half baked" and "get his act together" on a ROM clearly marked as ALPHA. That is simply not fair as this developer put out monthly security updates which again is better than Samsung manages. I do not regret my donation as I reverted to his AOSP MM from a nandroid backup just hours ago. Samsung stock Marshmallow does not support Substratum theming which I find manditory and is slower than the Nexus like AOSP build..

That seems odd that it would be shut down for being half-baked! The 1st page of the ROM thread clearly states it is "Alpha". For an alpha, it certainly ran well - others clearly had unreasonable expectations for an alpha status ROM.

On my T-800, I have the following minor issues which I have not really tried to troubleshoot (with the exception of #3):
1) graphical glitches on rotate and power off
2) not able to see all widgets provided by one app - specifically BeautifulWidgets - I can scroll through their widgets, but it stops half way through one icon and doesn't scroll to the rest
3) I was experiencing about 25% less battery life relative to 5.0.2 (I didn't try MM), but this seems to have settled down now and I'm getting close to what I saw on 5.0.2
4) GPS appears to get location, but GPS Status App seems limited to 4 satellites and does not indicate a fix has been obtained
5) I have a hard time getting into Recovery mode - the power option built in the ROM and Quick Boot app - both reboot to recovery goes to black screen and frozen tab - have to do Vol Down - Home - Power combo to get it to come back alive, but it comes to the Download mode screen. If I cancel out of Download mode, it sometimes goes to Recovery, but more often goes to black screen and frozen again. If I try Vol Up-Home-Power combo nothing happens.
EDIT: for #5 - i waited a bit longer on the black screen and hit power - recovery popped up. This may be related to a historical screen time out issue which has already been identified elsewhere
EDIT 2: for #5 - I seem to be stuck - I made it into recovery after a number of tries and turned off the screen timeout option. Now it won't boot into either recovery or system - just goes to black screen again. I can still get into Download mode so I'll have to wait until I can plug into a PC at home and try ADB fastboot - does anyone have any other suggestions?

I hope that works out. Please give an update when you can. I will add yours to the list after we hear back.

Access to recovery is very inconsistent - I don't know much about this - maybe I have a corrupt bootloader or something.
I kept rebooting to Download mode with Power-VolDn-Home combo and then cancelling it - finally it went into Recovery and I could reboot from there to System.
I'm kicking myself- I should have turned screen timeout back on in TWRP as it seemed I could get into recovery more frequently (but still inconsistently) after cancelling out of download mode.

I've never been good at getting those button combinations to work. I always use the power reboot menu, the reboot menu in either TWRP Manager or Titanium, or use adb commands. I guess I'm just not coordinated enough. =) Hopefully you'll get it figured out.

Thanks - I'll have to try a quicker finger. Hopefully it's that simple, but because of the issues I'm having I am not going to try to boot to recovery any time soon unless I absolutely need to!

maybe it's coz your nickname
This device may be a few years old, but its still great. Support for it has almost disappeared, but there are still people out there like me that are on this device that can't/won't upgrade for one reason or another. Sure, Superstock is a great ROM, but lollipop is outdated, and having the features of custom ROMS but on a newer base would be freaking great. I am right?
I may have missed them, but as far as I could find on XDA, I couldnt find any nougat custom ROMs for this device. I would super excited to petition for one of the awesome developers out there to make a new ROM, even if it might be the last for this phone. Or maybe there is one, and I have just been much to dense to see it. Let this thread be for all posts related to the development of a custom Nougat rom, or sharing of one that already exists. Thanks everyone for reading and participating! :laugh:
EDIT: SM-G928T is the model number, just in case it isn't implied
"petition for one of the awesome developers out there to make a new ROM"
Wow... no need to do that buddy..
I'll save you the headache, hassle and lynching..
Check this out.. https://forum.xda-developers.com/s6-edge-plus
Heads up, read thru the thread carefully, many of these ROMs will require the "T-Mobile audio fix" to get in call audio, that is if you have the T-Mobile variant (G928T). You can search for the fix..
We can run Note 5 ROMs too, check out the TMo N5 or the Int'l forums, like I mentioned, above.

Thanks for the response. I had no idea we could run international ROMs on variant devices. I am having the issue you mentioned, though, with the call audio. So far ive tried two roms, flashed the fix, without any change. Ideas as to how i might get that working?
There is a audio fix on the T mobile Galaxy Note 5 page, it worked for me using Dr Ketan's rom

I do know that theres a few different "audio fixes" available. Im thinking they differ bcuz of the Android version? Just a guess, but what I'll do, is, I'll use only Roms that another 928T user already reported their success using it. I dont want to waste my time and effort being the guinea pig and then, for it not to work. Usually, whomever confirmed compatibility, will also list anything thats needed additionally to get it running, like the audio fix, along with link(s) to get it. If it doesn't work, they'll usually state the issues they found. Someone else's issue with it, might not be relevant to another person so they may decide to run it.
The best way to do this is to simply go to the OP of the Rom thread, in the upper right corner, you'll see a "search" option/box, (depending on browser or app, might see 3 dots instead, its a drop down list) click on it and enter our phone model, "928T, 928-T" or "T-Mobile, Tmobile, TMO " I try to cover the different variations, others here use to identify the phone. Seems like the search function, searches only the exact characters, as entered in the box, doubting it can identify and include similar known ones, so rather be thorough and not miss something. It searches your entry only in that particular thread and lists the results.
If you're braver than I, and dont mind going where no other TMO'rs have gone before and found only the in call audio isnt working, then its likely, flashing the audio fix is all thats needed.
The best way to solve this is, again, with a simple search. This time I'd recommend, a broader search using Google's search engine, type "XDA T-Mobile audio fix," bcuz this will search all XDA forums, more importantly, both S6 E+ and N5, carrier and int'l forums all at once. Then just go down the list if results, making sure that youre in either of the 4 forums, above, locating the download. Last I checked there was 3 or so fixes available, this was many months ago though. Anyway, having more isnt a bad thing, less would mean needing to go back and finding the one you missed. Once you have them, flash each one seperately, in recovery, reboot, confirm whether you're issue is fixed or not. If not, then continue these steps till it works. Flashing the audio fix won't mess your phone up. No need to reset, clear cache or anything of the sort, between each audio fix, just flash only the audio fix and rebooting is necessary. If you want to be organized, you can cross reference the dates of each audio fix, with the current firmware available at the time. That way you can flash any Rom you desire and will already have the fix ready.
Wow, my apologies, talk about rambling on about nothing more than finding correct file, flash your device, confirm its fixed, if not then repeat till its fixed. If no fix is found then, Rom isnt compatible...
Sorry, one last thing, Im sure that you'll help many others like yourself, if you had minute to post your experience with whichever Rom(s), you chose.
For example, "Rom works great, needed this (link to audio fix) for in call audio on the TMO variant"
It seems like you're the first 928T to try the Rom you have so,
report your experience, posts are permanent, its there forever, for any curious new comers, you'd be their hero! It'd most def get a "thx" from me.. :good:
Any updates on your experience here?

Found a few ROMs that work without fixes and run nougat. Khongloi's s8 port works and has some of the best features I've ever had on this phone, but is heavy on the battery. AndroidSword's NFuel XL runs fast and light, but doesn't have edge features. The original NFuel also has full support for 928T, but I haven't tried it yet. I'm also working on my own custom ROM now since every ROM I tried was missing something I wanted.

Thanks for the info. My S8 has kicked the bucket, and so I'm back on my S6 for the time being and want to give it a bit of a refresh. I'll look up those NFUEL ROMs.

I've just finished cooking a second version of my custom rom. Haven't had any issues so far. It's Called TrueStockN.
Here's a list of ROMs I was able to get working for the G928T:
Khongloi's s8 Port
Nemesis s7 Port
N-Fuel
TrueStockN
These are just Nougat roms I that worked for me off the bat, no additional audio fix required. Of course, there may be more, but these are the ones I know of and have used extensively.
