Well for starters this should have gone in the Q&A section because it's essentially a question.
Yes omega rom is quite good from most reviews and seems to be a good place to start.
Only way to preserve your apps is to create a backup either using MyBackupRoot or Titanium Backup (Or any other sort of backup software you want) then restore
But a full wipe is recommended because you are going from stock to custom (should be done between every rom change anyway)
i did request for a change , as i soon realize there is an q&a forum, do you know if omegarom preserves the usb audio functionality ? where you can stream audio through usb

So if I am understanding correctly. This is pretty much a ROM to keep the Samsung feel but with out all the bloat and apps that I don't want? Sorry my first time messing with a tablet so I want to make sure I know what I am getting into. Thank you.

Yes. I believe you can pick the apps you dont want or idk. It has all the samsung stuff too. I think you can install the apps backon if you wanted too. I a noob back in july and August about all this. And its best to backup ur rom with twrp. In case you get a boot loop, you can force a reboot by holding home, vol up and down buttons for 30 seconds, and it will reboot then you you have to hold home, power and vol up to boot into twrp recovery and restore your backup.
Screen mirror
Hello.. How to solve "Screen Mirroring hardware problem" with Smart TV?
Always that awkward first post.
Hey all!
First and foremost, many thanks to those who make this site possible. Great resource for us who lurk in the background and read-only.
Just picked up a TabS 8.4. Have been using a S4 stock for over a year and have a new one on the way in. This question is for the TabS
I haven't turned it on yet since the unpack, still charging it. Pretty excited.
My experience with bloat ware on my S4 makes me want to work on this TabS, but I haven't done such a thing before. Can any of you give me a quick idea of the pro's/cons for doing so? I know it will void my warranty which makes me nervous, but I also like the idea of ditching all the proprietary software which I will never use.
My TabS is SM-700NTSAXAC from Canada, unsure if it differs from US model
Thanks in advance

Depending on laws, sometimes tripping knox doesnt void your warrenty. You should be able to modify any device just like jailbreaking. Anyway, if yojr pc is bad, then you might have trouble with fixing bootloops. Is yours a 16gb model and wifi?
To gain root, you will need to flash cfautoroot to get that. It will void warrenty too. It may seem scary but it only takes a few seconds to do. Theres a thread on how to do so. But first you must wait a few weeks in order to see if your tablet is defective. If not then root.
After that install a custom recovery. Twrp custom recoviery can prevent bootloops, and restore your backup in a bootloop if you get any. It can also flash custom roms that can give you a whole new UI. You can install twrp from the google play store. Theres instructions on how to do so.
Pros: More safe from bootloops with custom recovery. Endless customization. Less lag when debloating. Better battery life. Able to make a whole nandroid backup of your current settings/apps to restore too. Bricking can be foxed by pc.
Cons/bad things: Potential of bricking which is really rare. Void warrenty. Manually have to flash updates from samsungz so you cant ota update,.
Battery life: i have flashed a custom kernel and i am rooted. Battery life increased without taking away performance as i tweaked cpu a bit to gain this. Pictures below show how much battery life i got with a custom kernel. I did this test by charging fully to a 100 percent and using my tablet for straight almost 10 hours.
Hope this helps!

Thanks for the help, much appreciated! So far it's been fun getting to know the TabS, definitely has some more pep to it than my S4. Didn't find that bloatware is as bad as the S4 and the TabS allows you to freeze apps internally. Or it seems that way. Regardless I was on it almost 6 hrs straight last night installing apps and getting the device set up. Hit 60% battery so pretty happy with it.
Will probably root it as I want to install an app to use Airplay with my home theater receiver.
This screen is AMAZING!
If you can help i would appreciate it a lot

Can you tell me what you installed exactly? Kernel, rom etc? I installed this after i read your post today about battery as well but i was losing 1% every 1minute of on screen time. If you can share your knowledge with me i would really appreciate it. There is also another thread with this rom ( i think is an updated version, i am not really sure ). Thanks a lot

I am running skyhigh kernel for the T800 and also running stock rom with some apps i removed. Auto brightness is off, and set to 1\4 brightness.
Since skyhigh kernel can control you cpu and gpu, it can also give you more battery with the synapse app. Ive set synapse to the battery settings that upintheair suggested. I also underclocked to 1.6 ghz. After doing all that, battery drains 5 minutes and 40 seconds every 1percent.
Also, to achieve that long of battery life, I watched a video on youtube, broswed the web, took pictures and took some notes. And I did that stright for 9 hours. I have been experiancing a bit lf drain during standby. I will try to fix those issues and share back. Anyway I hope this helped you gain more battery life. Also, resseting the fuel gauge once can help recalibrate the battery too.

That's awesome, so basically to achieve that all i need is to put the skyhigh kernel, follow up his configurations and then flash this rom? I hope i can manage to get that much time because right now is unusable to me ( question, do you have installed the 1.0.3 version with aroma or the 1.0.1 of this build? )
Thanks again!

Flash the rom first, set it up and everything. Then follow the skyhigh kernel installation. And no i vaent tried any of these builds as I lwn the T800. But there are skyhigh kernels for both devices.

Brazil Version, Kernel and OTA updates
Hi,
this is my first post so pardon me if I say something inappropriate os just stupid.
I got my Tab S 8.4 SM-T700 a few months ago and I´ve been reading about ROMS, etc, here in XDA. I didn't root my tablet yet 'cause I was waiting to see if there was something wrongwith it, in case I had to rely on warranty.
But as everything seems ok, I think I'll root it, install TWRP and flash this ROM. But before I do that, I have a few questions, if you don't mind:
1) Does this ROM use stock kernel?
2) Will it work on my brazilian version (I actually think I got an international version, cause it says SM-T700)? My Tab S already runs on NF9.
3) Will I ever be able to get OTA updates again (I mean, if I go back to stock) or will that be permanently void?
So these are my doubts before I go about flashing the ROM.
And, one last thing. Thanks for the hard work. So you know, this rom is exactly what I´ve been loking for.

No worries to feel stupid or inappropriate. All here work together to make something good, BETTER!
I am a new memeber too and actually the T700 is my first android device aswell. I was a huge apple fan boy before
I also got my tab 2 months ago and i rooted it. By the time you root it you lose warranty from what i understood. This rom which i was using it as my first rom after root is basically the same as stock without all the bloat. I used the v1.0.1 first and then i used the v1.0.3 with the aroma installer which makes the flash even nicer. Be careful when u root as i got a soft brick cause of wrong twrp version. This rom actually is pretty snappy with a nice battery life. The only reason i changed it is cause i wanted to try the CM11 and see how different it is to stock. So far everything is fine with either ROM. Used both with their stock kernels and again everything was fine. Also from what i understood once you root u don't get OTA from samsung but i believe you can update manually by downloading their newer version ( if ever released) and flash them via ODIN which is the program you will use either way to flash your twrp too, at least that's how i did it!
Hope i helped. You also might want to check my story about my soft brick and what to avoid here .
Hope i helped you
Yeah, u helped. Some of my doubts are gone But I'm still wondering if this ROM uses stock kernel, if it will work on my device and if its possible to get OTA if I go back to flashing stock firmware. Thans for replying.

Hey, Everything on this ROM has worked great for me apart from the fact that the fingerprint scanner keeps giving me the error:
Attention
An error has occurred with the fingerprint sensor. If this message appears repeatedly restart you device.
I have wiped the internal storage dalvik and cache with no success. I am also running on the skyhigh kernel and xposed.
Thanks
Hi guys, I'm thinking of buying an LG G4 because it's gotten very cheap now and I want to use it as my daily driver.
I'll be getting the international version and I want to root my phone before properly setting it up. The reason for this is that I want xposed to make some ui changes as I feel the G4's ui is horrible (no offence). I've heard I'll need a custom kernel, twrp recovery, unlocked bootloader and root access.
I've also heard that with custom roms you lose functionality to things such as the IR blaster and the amazing camera app and all its settings. Is that true? If that is the case, I'd rather keep on stock rom with xposed helping me make the UI bearable.
My question is what would I exactly need to do? (with kernels, recovery, bootloaders etc I have only rooted a device once and it was 4 years ago so I have forgotten the basics plus it seems the whole process has become very tough now) The only end product I want is to run the xposed while retaining the IR blaster functionality and the camera app etc.
I have tried going through some videos on youtube but I found them vague, a little different from what I wanted or I saw a few comments talking about how the phone was bricked or stuck in bootloop.

Hi buddy , if your phone comes and it's on lollipop the type in Google " root lg g4 lollipop xda " but if it arrives on marshmallow then type " root lg g4 marshmallow xda " as for losing functions like the IR blaster and camera , I'm using latest Genisys ROM marshmallow version with the Imperium kernel and I have all my features still working they will only stop working if you flash a ROM which isn't based on LG for example Cyanogen or blisspop things like that....
If I have helped please leave a thumbs up!

Hi, thanks for the reply! How is the performance compared to the stock rom? What other benefits does a g4 based rom give?
Also, I still find the process a little confusing. Am I supposed to root first, unlock bootloader or install a recovery. Also what are the chances of bricking my phone?

Well first of all the performance depends there are options when installing different kernels which will give you better speed or better battery life the choices will be written in the kernel or ROMs description , the other benefits are debloated ROMs which means the software on the phone has been reduced to free up space and get rid of useless stuff and other little UI tweaks it just depends which ROM you choose as for the process you unlock your bootloader first via lg devs official site then depending on how you root will depend when you root it I'll explain , if your phone arrives and its on lollipop then use low effort root but if it comes and its on marshmallow then you use systemless root method and I won't bull**** ya pal the chances of messing your phone up is about 30 percent just make sure you follow every single step very carefully , the reason I said 30 percent is because if you're on lollipop then it's easier in my opinion to restore your phone by flashing the .kdz stock file for your phone ( the .kdz will make your phone like you bought it)

What are the advantages of the rom that you're using?
30 percent sounds like a lot, but are you saying that I can restore my phone even if I mess up the process?
Also can you link me to the methods?
The advantages of the ROM I'm using is good battery life with a good balanced performance also it has the LG G5 apps built in to it , and yes you can restore your phone as for the links to the methods I'm chatting to you on my tablet so gathering all the links would be quite hard they are easily found though for example if you are searching for low effort root then just type it in Google followed by xda so it looks like low effort root method xda , if you really want the links then I'll boot up my PC in the morning and I'll find them all for you , it's night time where I am so I'm going to bed soon I'll check your post though in the morning in case you have any more questions and as always please leave a thumbs up I greatly appreciate it , thanks buddy....

No problem mate, I found the link to the low effort btw.
So I'll have to unlock bootloader via the lg website first? then I'll have to install a custom recovery and then root? (or root and then install custom recovery?)
Also I was going through the thread of the rom you're using, and I saw the screenshots and they were pretty much the same as the lg ui (which I'm trying to run away from). Basically what I want is a stock android ui without losing the core functionality like the IR blaster and the camera app, knock code etc.
A question I have is do I have to change the kernel etc while rooting my device or can I just use the stock kernel?
I just did all of these things this morning. I posted my steps here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/howto-complete-guide-to-unlock-twrp-t3370003
I personally stopped installing custom ROMs since Xposed. It lets use keep the phone as it is out of the box but add in just the changes we want. With many custom ROMs, there are always bugs so you'll have to update them and that can mean resetting your device. You then have to install all your apps and settings again.
I tried to make the above guide as noob friendly as possible and it hopefully shouldn't require any reading outside of the thread.
Whats up Guys its been while since I last posted and used my Nexus.
I Iam now using it for Uber eats all day.
I have seen there is several roms running 8.1 Oreo. I wanted to know what would everyone say is the best one that would feel and perform as fast as my Galaxy 8 running 8.0 Oreo.
I am Currently not rooted yet on the Nexus 7 so I know you will tell me to get Team win recovery and root first.
Also its been years since I have rooted lol with team win.
I just want the Tablet to feel extremely fast and be able to customize it as much as the rom lets me. I wanted your opinon on how much faster and snapier it will be after 8.1 Oreo. I really could not tell how fast my S8 was running until I started using the Nexus 7 again for comparison lol.
One thing I want to add as well is there way to make a complete backup of my entire device before unlocking the bootloader as in this video I found he says you have copy all filed on your computer.
Is there not a way to backup or complete a Mirror back up before unlocking and installing the boot loader again sorry guys I have not done a root in years so forgot the entire process from what I remember there was always a way to create a entire mirror backup before rooting or installing the boot loader.
Is there any other way to do this is faster way or more efficient proof since this video was filmed in 2013. So any way to root without factory resetting?
Here is the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6k4rCaMPSQ8
I did find this as well from wug fresh one click rooot with twrp but still how would I make mirror save of my entire device before I root and install the recovery?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9CPMG6yIA4
Thanks guys
Hello guys not one answer yet? Please anyone that help me with tjhis it would be apreciated.
https://lineageos.wickenberg.nu/builds/full/flo/
Can't guarantee best/fastest but I have been having good luck with the UNOFFICIAL lineage builds at that link. They aren't necessarily 100% bug free but work very well for my usage (mostly browser, a few apps).
I used wugs unlock way back when and assume it would still work. I don't believe he still keeps it up so you may want to verify or check with other options.
This thread has way more than you will want about the rom and related issues;
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ne...ment/rom-lineageos-15-0-nexus-7-2013-t3673103
A few key things to pay attention to:
- Find the updated twrp(s)
- Read about repartitioning so that system is large enough for the ever-expanding gapps
- most use magisk for root now rather than su
All I can think of right now. I'm far from expert. Hopefully someone with more knowledge will chime in
Thanks man I just read your message now. I do have a question what about the oreo version?
I also have my asus prime running kitkat and it is just slow laggy and buggy as hell it not running like a smooth tablet at all. On the prime I have it rooted with team win 3.0.0
I just want both to be running as fast as my galaxy S8 or as close to it as possible. It seems crazy that Prime feels so slow in comparison when it has quad core processor.
Link and thread I linked are both Oreo
This is an unofficial oreo rom
