[Q] New Tab S 10.5 Wifi Only 16gb Owner...Old Android Nut LF Recommended Recovery - Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've been around the block...it seems my last runs have all included devices that required safestrap (kill me). I'm wondering what the recommended method for root and recovery is.
So far all 8 verify seen is the CF autoroot port and the unified toolkit. I've had bad experiences in the past with UTK s. Can anyone tell me if it will root and offer to install recovery? And will it be successfull?
Just as well...8 or 10 models sharing a xda section? Also new...I've been looking for a few hours and I can't seem to find the idiosyncrasies. Can someone point me in the right direction? I.E. Do all the devices shares roms? Do all non wifis share roms? What's the best stock-based rom for the 10.5 wifi only 16gb device right now and what's the best non stock based rom In your opinion.
Sorry if I havennot found my way around yet. I consider myself a veteran and soon I'll be caught up to speed and participating and helping out.

[Q] help me choose a ROM

I'm pretty new to all of this and still a bit tentative. I have searched quite a bit and learned a lot but I still generally feel overwhelmed when I try to read threads specific to certain ROMS.
I recently got a Tab 3.7 (SM-T210R) and have managed to root it and install PhilzTouch.
I also installed RocketTab Lite which was good but I realise what I want is all the Samsung stuff gone, so it feels more like a simple android device.
So, I'm trying to figure out what ROM would suit me best.
Also, it is only 8GB and even with almost no apps (or media) it seems to be almost a third full. So far I haven't got Link2SD to work. Will another ROM allow me to move apps to the SD like I could in my phone?
Thanks for any advice anyone can give.

Thanks. Can you flash a Kit Kat ROM on a tab that has jellybean, or do you have to upgrade first?
Also, that says it is for a Tab 3.10, would it work with the Tab 3.7?

CAGrom is made only for the Tab 3 10. You can find roms for the 7 here http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-3/development-7
I don't know anything about the roms for that device. though, XDA generally prohibits suggestions as it is all about experiencing and experimenting finding the right fit that you want. I suggest looking at the roms at the link above and see if any might interest you there. good luck.

[Q] Looking for the right 4.3 and/or 4.4 ROM

Hi, a nearly noob question.
I have Galaxy S33 T999L with SlimKat, android 4.4.4, baseband AMB7, but I believe it doesn't have Wifi calling. I use Teamwin v2.8.4.0 recovery.
I am looking for any good stable ROMs that are:
1. Android 4.3 or 4.4 with 4.4 preferred
2. Wifi calling build-in
3. App Ops provided, OPTIONAL, (for permission control on apps)
4. As lean as possible, but useful features are welcome
Some of the threads are over 3 pages here I did jump thru a few, still kind of lost since these threads started in 2012.
This is my back up phone returning from a loan to a friend. I am not using it now (no SIM inside), just trying to UP this phone before I can reuse it again (Been using Avant for a few months now).
I would appreciate anyone can post a link, or share some advice on which ROMs you would recommend. Many thanks,

For wifi calling to work you will need to stick to stock based ROMs so eliminate all others and then try out a couple of those to see if they have what you are looking for.

Can anyone enlighten my view on this phone?

Hello, name's Mike, have been in the android side for a while and it's my first time actually owning an US version of a phone, the N900T (T-Mobile Note 3) running 5.0 stock TW. (I don't live in the US)
So please, enlighten me!
ROOT AND RECOVERY
I have tried to root it and did it successfully, however when I tried to get a custom recovery on it, I only got boot loops so far, tried various tutorials, none of them have yet worked out for me.
CUSTOM ROMS
Are there any current custom rom development for this phone? I've seen lots of KK roms but I was looking to get a stable lollipop AOSP like rom like CM12 but without crashes or battery drain. Does anyone know any good roms that are stable?
PORTING
Also! How do you port a N9005 rom to a 900T? I've seen some methods by flashing a BT+Wifi fix or something like that but it seems outdated and I don't want to brick my phone just yet.
Please, please help me out, I am really out of it. Used to Custom rom on a Huawei U8650, Galaxy S2 and on my G2, but this is harder due to it being a carrier phone.
Thanks for your comprehension.
Did you download the right TWRP? Get the tar file and odin it.
https://dl.twrp.me/hltetmo/
Did you check the N900T development forum? There is quite a few to select from. I.E. Slim

Sorry can't help you with porting.

Wished for stock rooted ROM 4 Verizon Note 4 retail nail Dev converted.

Can someone point me to a rooted stock ROM for lollipop or better yet marshmallow for the Note 4 with the retail to Dev conversion? I did have the retail converted it to dev using dr.cool's very well written post.now I have some emotion nightly ROM. My dream is to have a fully functional rooted marshmallow ROM. If such thing exists and can be flashed via Odin,adb, Twrp or any other method with the tutorial for dummies please point me to that ROM for download. Thank you in advance. By the way this is the smn910v Qualcomm processor. Alternatively I would like to get the ROM for lollipop 5.1.1 that is rooted or either or of them they can't be read it on the day of or either or of them if they can be rooted on this now DE ed phone that previously was a Verizon retail. I have looked at Chainfire Auto roots and somehow they do not seem to be sufficient in size to be a complete OS. I'm sure my naivety disallowed me to understand the process completely but every time I've tried to use the CF auto root I seem to come up short of enough components for a full operating system. I do not know where to get the CF root ROMs that I have heard spoken of but I have seen the CF auto root and yet that's far I have not been able to use any of those effectively. So to be clear if anyone can help me to understand and learn where are not it is possible to get a stock ROM and lollipop 5-1 1 or marshmallow 6x and either rooted or find a pre rooted stock ROM with either of these to get a stock wrong and lollipop 511 or marshmallow sick six and either route it or find a prayer it stock ROM with either these biulds, I would be grateful for the knowledge. I know the concept here is to search and read but quite honestly my low IQ and poor reading comprehension skills disallows need to find any valuable help in my quest. So I reach out and asking one that would 2 please teach me and/or point me in the right direction.
Thank you in advance for your kind anticipated responses.

First Time Flash

My Note 2 is still my only phone since it was purchased many years ago and have stayed with android 4.3. Unfortunately, hardly any apps are compatible anymore so flashing is the only way to continue using my phone. I want to avoid bricking my phone so I would appreciate answers to some questions.
I have model sgh-i317. It appears from what I've read that N7105 roms are compatible, but N7100 roms are not? Also, there are roms which state tolteatt. Which roms are compatible with my device?
It seems a lot of roms are also now EOL. I need suggestions for a nougat rom that is stable and preferably based on touchwiz as I guess it is the only way the s pen continues to work? Or compatible with add-on apps, GMD etc? If possible, I would really like to continue using my
s pen.
Are there any other integral issues that do not work/disappear when you flash/upgrade from 4.3 to nougat? I know there is variability depending on the rom, but I just need to know if any other major thing is going to change. I have been unable to find this information.
Is there a way to continue to use Samsung calendar as I'm assuming gapps is going to replace it with Google calendar?
I just want to be able to continue using my note 2 for as long as possible. Obviously no one can know for sure, but those who have been doing this for a while would be more likely to know which roms/developers are more likely to continue to be supported.
I know people are apprehensive about suggesting roms, because it's based on personal preference, but I would really appreciate suggestions just so I can continue to use my phone, and if possible keep the features as close as possible to 4.3 though I realize many features will be changed/different. If that's not possible, I understand.
Just recommendations for the top 3 most stable/popular roms that have the least amount of battery drainage compatible with my device would be really helpful.
Can someone please just confirm the correct roms for my sgh-i317 device. N7100, N7105, and/or tolteatt?
Rom help!
Can someone please help me to be able to continue to use my Note 2? It is extremely difficult to find information as everything is being abandoned and I can't even view certain things on xda even with desktop mode. Just need a link to 1 rom for sgh-i317, tolte/N7105, that a person has used and knows is stable based on touchwiz/probably marshmallow so s-pen works. I would really appreciate it.
Tolte roms are what you want. TouchWiz roms only go up to kit Kat 4.4.4. If you need a newer version of Android, you will have to give up TouchWiz. You will lose some spen functions and mhl tv-out.
Need a link
Do you know where I can find a marshmallow rom that is stable and has any spen functionality?

I too am searching for a rom for my device as well and everything is pretty abandoned... I found a few when I used google search but their download link dont work.
I also have the I317 and didnt care to upgrade the OS to a custom ROM cos everything worked fine on it b4 but now some apps are not just compatible any more so a ROM upgrade will be better to give it more life time.
I'll let you know (with links) once I find one that works.
Take care.
Cheers.
Thanks!
I would really appreciate that!

I found the Resurrection Remix OS 5.8.5 based on Lineage OS 14.1/Android 7.1.1. it's pretty smooth and I've found no bugs for now.
It's for Galaxy Note 2 N7105 but works fine on my At&t Note 2. Below is the link to it's XDA page then you can download from there.
