[Q] Importance of flash - Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl

Hi guys,
I'm reading a lot about this tablet recently, and i'm trying to understand how the abscence of flash will affect the tablet abilities.
Which option will be lock?
I just want to mention that i'm planning to use it as my primary machine so I want it will be able to do everything.
Thanks a lot for your help...

Flash is working without issues on the Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition with it's current firmware based on android 4.3. Well it's not as smooth as on desktop PCs but that was always the case with android flash, although the S-Pen makes things alot more accurate...
I hear with Android 4.4. Kitkat there is only a handful of browsers left that support flash. Which is a shame. But as of now with 4.3 it's as good as ever. You just have to download and install the .apk yourself, because it doesnt come preinstalled.

Next browser does not work with flash, however Firefox does.
Didn't test standard and chrome.

[Q] CM on Note 8 - stable?

Just curious if anyone is running Cyanogenmod (n5100) on their Note 8. couple quick questions....
1. Is it stable?
2. Anything not work? Any bugs?
3. People talk about the sPen stuff or whatever on the Note 8. Is it worth keeping the stock ROM for some of that Samsung stuff?

Only for the sPen and the double window thing. I dont care about the bloatware that comes included. In fact I just bought it for the sPen feature.

I donno what peeps here are calling bloat ware... Samsung apps are some the the finest available on Android. Google apps are just about needed for secondary apps and extras.
Out of the many apps I removed or disabled, I personally could not find much improvement with storage or RAM consumption.
The only issue that I found from an app is Googles Music Player, and 4.2.2 and earlier OS not able to fully categorize RAM used with over 45GB of MP3 files. I think it has to do with how many folders and mp3 files are stored. Any way Music Player will consume battery power not what peeps call bloat ware.
Too many developers and so called know it alls will point out bloat ware as an issue, when the issue is how things are configured and used.
I have tried custom ROMs and found nothing better than a properly setup Stock ROM. Sad to say for the Note 8.0.
If need be safe root and install TI backup pro and Xposed framework with plugins, to have the power of most custom ROMs and to remove all you want. If you need to send in for repair, just do a factory reset and be done with it. Simple and effective without need to jump though hoops in flashing and dealing with Triangle away and looking for proper OEM firmware. Plus you can always update through Kies or Settings as if nothing was touched. )
Sorry for the long rant, just tired of peeps pointing at bloatware being an issue with devices. The issue is proper implementation and usage. Take it from me, having an engineering degree in applied science in technology. I find it easier to pick at the problems people create than to deal with the limitations of pushing out new tech without proper testing. That is why I never applied for Google, MS, or many other big named companies. Samsung tablets seem to have less issues with what they load than many other competitors. Google may complain about customizations, but as long as they work that is all I care about. So many who do complain about bloatware are probably Google biased.

I put CM 11 on my note 8.0 n5110 (not the n5100) as I love CM11 on my note 2. However, although the CM 11 on my note 2 seems like a polished final product with no issues whatsoever (although it's only a nightly), definitely CM11 on my note 8.0 seemed like it was still a work in progress.
1. Yes, it is stable for everyday things.
2. Often (about once every other day) an app would disappear from the homepage. I would then have to put them back. I could not remove unwanted preinstalled apps from my homepage (like the camera app for example). Usually you would grab the app and bring it to the top of the screen and it would be removed. For some reason there was no way to remove them. Usually there is a simple way to "close all" the opened apps by going to the pull-down menu. This was missing my nightly.
3. The pen works perfectly on CM11. Of course, there is no "air gestures" like on stock. For me, I just use the spen as a pen: for drawing, sketching, and taking notes (like using my favorite app LectureNotes). For such things, the pen works fine. In my opinion, it's well worth getting CM11 --- besides for the things mentioned in 2 (and other small things) the note 8.0 runs amazingly smooth, like the dream tablet I always wanted.
BTW, later I moved to Omnirom on my note 8.0 and I'm still using it and I am liking Omnirom even better than CM11 (which in my personal opinion is much better than the stock rom).

[Q] Rendering images: memory or display problem?

Hi there,
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition (SM-P600) as well as the earlier model (N8000).
When I browse to certain websites that are using changing background images (like http://www.belvicci.com/) the background is changing very smoothly on the N8000 ("old" Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1), while on the "new" Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition (SM-P600) the background is changing with "blocks", not smooth at all.
I tested this on more than one device and in all kind of browsers, with Chrome I still have an "acceptable" result, but all others (stock browser, Dolphin, ...) the reults are always the same: ugly blocked background-change on the 2014 model, nice and smooth background-change on the older model...
Does anyone has an explenation for this phenomenon? And what's more: does anybody know how to solve it?
I'm running stock Android on all models by the way, 4.1.2 on the older tablets and 4.3 on the 2014 model.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I just tested the website you gave. You are right, Dolphin is not smooth but I found Chrome to be very smooth when changing images, not sure why though. Try doing this in chrome browser:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/themes-apps/speed-chrome-android-tweak-t2706830
That may help
I have just visited the site with my p600 and UC Browser and the background images are super smooth changing

Chrome and stock browser changing bg image very smoothly, running mk1 europe (no multi-user)
Almost only in Dolphin on P6 P600
In Chrome the transition effect in between the changing images is smooth on all devices, no problem there. In stock browser, there is almost no transition, the images are just changing almost instantly from one to another. In Dolphin the screen shows some "ugly jumping blocks" between the images, almost as if the device has not enough memory to render everything as it's supposed to.
First I thought this problem was Dolphin-related since Chrome did well on the same device, but then I started testing a bit further. On my "old" Note (N 8000) there was no problem at all with this websites background, in any of the browsers. So I took my son's Note (N 8010) with same result: everything went very smooth, also in Dolphin browser.
So l could only conclude it was related to the device : in stock browser on the P600 the transition effect is not shown 100% as it should and in Dolphin it's screwed up completely.
Problem is I like Dolphin very much, besides it has very nice features its the only browser that allows me to browse full screen without there's any bar (toolbar, addressbar,...) on top. So it would be a bummer if I have to change browser, depending on the website l plan to visit...

[Q] lg gpad wifi

I like this tablet over the gaalxy tab3 for the specs and screen. What o want to know is I'm getting this for my elderly mom so I would like a google play edition rom for this tablet. I know when I had a m7 before they had a rom that was set up just like the google play edition. I don't want cm or aokp I just want stock google. Where can I get this? Also how do I root and install recovery for this thing. I know thus has been asked before but I work alot and I'm trying to get this done on the fly (at work and on break)
Thank you
You can't get a stock google rom. The devs have tried and failed.

If you're getting this tablet for your mom, then you shouldn't root it or install any other roms, just update the tablet to the latest LG kitkat update and it will feel good.

If you want the Google Play experience for her why don't you buy the GPE version (V510)?

Because they didn't have a used one on swappa. Thought there might be a rom there. Buckaroo
The original 4.4.2 Stock ROM is just great and very, very easy to use even though it has so many cool features (Infrared, knock on,...).
e.g. For the LG G2 it's quite some work to get the IR blaster to work with other ROMs and i think it's the same here.
I wouldn't install any other ROM! (Not hear this from me often!) It's perfect and just works! I installed the xposed modules, which makes it even better.

I wish I could agree with this. Where KK runs great, the SD card issue blows big time.

LineageOS 14.1 and s-pen compatibility

Hi.
I intend to flash my girlfriend's N5110 to LineageOS. However, she is just very fond of the S-Pen, it is also very useful since she uses a lot of Japanese input (she uses MyScript Stylus Beta).
Now, will the S-Pen still work with the most recent release? I've spent quite some time searching on the net but couldn't find a definite answer. I understand that all the Samsung apps, which are based on TouchWiz, will not work. But the question remains, will the S-Pen input itself work with less options available, with less "comfort" so to speak, or will it not work at all?
Some hints would be greatly appreciated!
Would like to know too. I did find an app that works well in the Play Store.. search for "Squid" - Take Notes & Markup PDFs...

Spen works very well with LOS 14.1
If you use stylus beta you can easily switch between keyboard input and stylus based handwriting input. Sketchbook, lecture notes or similar apps also work fine with direct stylus input.

I'm also struggling to find the answer on if the Spen will still work with PEN.up (Stock Samsung App) if I update gf's Note 8.0 to LineageOS?
Anyone know for sure?
can anyone post a link to lineageOS so I can flash please?

Fully stable and functional OS/ROM for P600 (Note 10.1 2014 Edition)?

Hello all
I'm a newbie here (so excuse me if I used a wrong term or for not being an expert/dev)
I own a (note 10.1 2014 Edition wifi) for like 3 years now. It feels slower and the battery life is not great compared to its newer versions. I've always thought, for such a high spec device, its illogical to just throw it away or purchase a newer model just for what feels like software limitations (please correct me if I'm wrong). So, I signed up here, in xda dev forum, looking for a way to install a fully functional OS (preferably newer and stable stock android). Most of the roms that I've found were in-complete or still underdevelopment (Which is great news) but I was wondering if I missed a thread with a fully functional Android for my device that I can just upgrade to.
I've tried alot of tips to speed up the tab, reducing animation duration, clearing cache, un-used apps, etc. but it still feels much slower compared to newer models with similar specs. I use my tab for browsing, movies, gaming, drawing, a little graphics design work and taking notes.
My device is not rooted (I tried, but I failed for some reason, I was trying to lower the display resolution and ppi) so I'm still running touchwiz - lolipop 5.1.1
Is there any thread to a fully functional stock Android for P600?
Thank you for your patience and for reading this,
I really appreciate it.
It's funny because I have had my Note 2014 since they were new, and I can't seem to find anything worth replacing it with. Where else can you find a tablet with >8000mAh battery?
I am running LineageOS (Android 7.1) on mine, with root, and I find it quick enough. I would love to get something with current generation specs but I can't find much that I like.
I mainly use mine for work (editing Word documents primarily) or web browsing. I honestly feel it holds up much better than it should compared with newer devices; that's a testament to how mediocre all the current tablet offerings are.

Exactly my thoughts! Thanks for your reply, I though for a sec there that it was all in my head lol.
So if you dont mind, I've some questions about the LineageOS (Android 7.1), how do you feel about it? Is there any issues with it? Anything that you came across that is not working or like software limitations? Is the pen working? Does it use something like a play store? Is all apps compatible with the OS with no issues (did you come across any app that failed to install or use coz of the OS)? How is the Battery life? How do you find games on it?
Sorry for the machinegun of questions ? I'm just excited that someone thinks similarly after what felt like a long silence lol. Again I thank you so much for your reply, I really appreciate it!

I can answer a few of those.
I'm using the RessurectionRemix ROM which is the same thing as Lineage but with additional features.
All of the hardware features actually work fine (IR blaster, SPen, etc.).
The only thing is you can't use Samsung's apps like S-Note but there are a few alternatives (Onenote, Evernote, papyrus, sketchbook). And SPenCommand (Paid App that requires Root) is what most people use to replace Air command.
Most custom ROMs have you flash GAPPS after the ROM which gives you access to the play store so you can get your apps/games from there.
Battery life is excellent compared to touchwiz, since there's no Samsung bloat installed.
If you wanted to compromise somewhere in the middle there's also a modified touchwiz marshmallow ROM which should have full samsung app/pen support and better battery life than lollipop (but still not as good as Lineage or RR).

Awesome! that sounds great and really comforting! how is the process of installing the rom, is it too difficult? what do you feel that is missing or not working properly, if there is any?
Thanks so much for your reply! I really appreciate it!

Well, the beginning is sort of complicated if you're starting from scratch but after that, it gets easier.
First, you have to get Odin so you can put TWRP on your device. You can find latest Odin here. And latest TWRP on this thread (get only the TWRP .tar file here).
Now put your device in download mode (turn it off then press Power+Volume Down).
Open up Odin then plug in the tablet and one of the top right boxes should turn blue. If it doesn't you might need to install the Samsung drivers from here.
Now click the options tab and uncheck Auto Reboot, click the AP button and choose the TWRP .tar file you downloaded, and press start. It should finish pretty fast.
When it's done hold down Power+Volume Up until you see the Samsung logo, and TWRP should show up. That's where you can finally install the ROM.
