Update US 8.4 Pro To Non-US ROM? - Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble

Hey guys,
I bought a GTP 8.4 (SM-T320) at Best Buy with ROM version T320UEU1ANAI. I noticed that there are newer ROMs like T320XXU1ANB6 that have been released for other countries. I'd like to try a newer ROM to see if it helps with battery and wifi issues I have. Is there any harm in using a different country's ROM on my SM-T320? Thanks.

[Q] Why is there limited support for the p601

Hello xda
I have a P601 and I want to know why there isn't even a single instance of Lollipop for the P601, is it more difficult as compared to the LTE versions due to the different SoCs? Many of us have P601s but from all the Note's I believe it's the most badly managed when it comes to support :crying: , if someone can link me to how to build a fairly working Lollipop Rom than I'd really appreciate it or if one of the LTE developers could spend some time porting it to us poor P601 owners I'd be even happier
I'm hoping some of the developers would read this and consider supporting the P601 :fingers-crossed:
In germany we only get the p605 or p600. With limited availability fewer developers have the p601 and I can totally understand developers not wanting to brick other peoples devices because they can't test on their own device first.

I agree that this is the reason mostly but since P600 and p601 has same hardware except 3g modem i highly doubt that even flashing p600 rom would brick a p601. Therefore after having a properly working p600 rom sources, it shouldn't be that hard to add a 3g modem to it.

Nothing avaliable for SM-T905 ?

Is there any reason why there is no avaliable custom ROMs for the Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro, SM-T905? As far as I can see there is only some avaliable for T900.
Did I buy the wrong pad? :crying:

Does any custom recoveries work on the T900?

TWRP works on the T-900.
I've never heard of a T-905, but Googling it seems to be a T-900 with LTE, is that right?
I'd say the Tab Pro of any kind is a poor choice if you like custom ROMs. Development is relaly limited. The 12.2 especially.

I'm not sure. I know that for the tab S the WiFi version on twrp works on the late devices. As long you have twrp working, custom ROMs will come

Thinking about buying a Zenfone 2, worth it?

Guys I wanna know how are the custom roms and how the phone works. I have a S3 with an Exynos CPU and devs have a hardtime to make AOSP roms to my phone. Does this happens on Zenphone 2?
Ditto Im on N7100, Im seeing x86 as potential to exynos, except if the source is leaked to developer someday developer will stopped updating or facing problems when Asus stop updating their flagship arround 2016
Im considering it with Redmi Note 2 Prime... it has Octacore but lack of NFC and only 2G ram
I might still happy with my N7100 (the also canceled Lollipop yeah,,, rite done with samsung, no need waste money for flagship anymore or buy Iphone if you want flagship) untill Prime arrives in my country or ZE551ML fix the battery issue, then Ill upgrade to one of them
above 1.8Ghz processor eats battery like a pro without good software
Btw this is general section I dunno if this question can be here or not
I'm currently running a 5.1.1 AOSP ROM, with the developer looking at 6.0. The ROM runs flawlessly; this phone really shines with lightweight Android on it.

Great
I have played around with all the custom roms on here - they all work great but when news of ASUS working on 6.0 came out I went back to stock so I would be ready for it. Just do yourself a favor and get it from ASUS. Too many people on here have found out the hard way they overpayed for a CN model with WW firmware flashed on it. Get the right model and you will love it for a long time

I got the ze551ml - 4gb/64gb version. The problem people have been having is going to ebay or amazon or some dinky shop hoping to save a few bucks and wind up with a chinese phone with the global software flashed on it. The chinese model has lte bands that are not used in places like the United States and Canada. Just get it from asus on their website. They will ensure you get the right phone for your area.

If I buy will be this one: Asus Zenfone 2 32GB Preto (ZE551ML-6A208WW)
I just went to ASUS website and did not see that model. I am in the United States so it might not be meant for me

So ZE551ML is good?
yup, it's good. the 32gb/4 gb versión is the Chinese version, you would have to flash the ww rom to get gapps. also I think it doesn't have some of the lte bands used on the states. go for the 64/4, 16/4 or 16/2 that sell on amazon at 299,229 and 199 respectively, they are all the 551 ML

Be aware of te limitations though (talking about ZE551ML/ZE550ML). Sim2 is only 2G and has no data support. Check the LTE band support of the version you get. CN, TW and WW have different LTE support.
All other ZenFone 2 variants that are not x86 (any other than ZE551ML/ZE550ML) may have poor third party dev support, and probably less attention from ASUS too going forward, as the x86 version is the flagship.
So guys, should I buy it or not? I don't wanna make another mistake like I did with the S3 on which I didn't have custom roms of AOSP with quality
Considering between Zenfone 2 and Moto G 2015 tho...
I switched from the S5 and couldn't be happier. Best phone switch I have ever done. If you do go with the Zenfone 2 I would recommend the 4gig version, it is well worth it
While I haven't used any CM or AOSP based ROM, some people say it's good for everyday use. I like the stock ROM, I only use a custom kernel (project T) and have the phone rooted and with TWRP. There are also some stock based ROMs, mostly to remove bloat.
The only advantage of getting the Moto G would be better battery life, but in everything else the ZF2 leaves it in the dust.

Xiaomi redmi note3 is a better choice now, about 200$

8.4 wifi / TM320 - most stable custom firmware?

So the hardware on my 8.4 is still amazing, but Kitkat is getting really really old. I see many custom firmwares available, and most of them say the camera doesn't work.
So first of all, which custom ROMs better than Kitkat are stable enough to be daily drivers? And second, do any of them have the cameras working?
Thanks!

I think you'll find it's just the versions based on Nougat that the camera doesn't work on.

Hmm I see. Maybe I was looking at Marshmallow threads in which people were also talking about Nougat builds.
Any recommendations?
No reply I see...
Did you try some different firmwares? I am also looking for a good working firmware. Can you perhaps share which one works good for every day use?
Thx in advance!
Just give any you like the look of a go. I like Lineage and 14.1 is available for the SM-T320 thanks to the dedication of members here. I can't imagine being on KitKat in 2018. Even LOS 14.1 (Nougat) is a bit of a throwback these days although it remains a popular version.
Hello.
I also bought a used t320 because the Hardware is better than modern lowcost tablets and 1 h after delivery it was already rooted and twrp ed. ?
I choose vanilla unicorns which is based in Marshmallow 6.0.1 . I am quite happy with it so far.? Cameras working , pretty mich all is running fine. I found no bugs so far.
