Hello all i saw many peoples have 4.4.4 or 5.0 on their phones and i wanna update my kernel and rom to newer, i have currently 4.4.2 N7100XUFNG3.
OTA
Hello and thank you for using Q&A,
you should be able to upgrade your Note 2 via OTA function in settings, if you did not install any custom kernels or custom recovery. If your phone is completly stock, check Settings - About Phone - SystemUpgrade. There you will find an update for Androıd 4.3. If you want a newer version of Android, you need to install a custom ROM like CyanogenMod. Then you will have Androıd 6.0.1 with newest security patches on your phone.
Check here for Androıd 6.0.1 ROMs:
Galaxy Note II Android Development
Kind regards

Unfortunately, there needs to be a touchwiz base for the device to make a custom rom from. So the only touchwiz custom roms for the i9195 are 4.4.2 kitkat or earlier.
Also it is nearly impossible to port a touchwiz rom from a different device unless they have very similar hardware

No i mean custom roms like V-rom ; Hopelite ....etc
If your looking for touchwiz UI just get a CM based Rom and get any old touchwiz theme off the playstore but if you want the awful fork of android that is touchwiz then no there is no MM version for the S4 mini
isn't there anything like SuperMan nor Electron Team for i9195?!?

if useful I found the following, google "Update Galaxy S4 Mini to Android 5.1.1 S6 Mini Lollipop Custom Firmware (by Saad Khan) ".
I tried to install it via CWM but haven't succeeded yet... let me know if anyone does in the meantime.
the other one I found is googling "Update Galaxy S4 Mini (All Variants) to Android 5.0 S5 Mini Lollipop Custom ROM (by adityapal, senior XDA member)"

i'd say it's better to keep the stock rom than installing those custom roms with those annoying bugs
Can anyone suggest what is the closest device from which it could be possible to port Touchwiz LP or MM for S4 mini?!?!?

It's more like 3.5 years old, released middle of 2013.
Unfortunately, old devices like this one you can have old touchwiz or newer custom roms. Luckily we still have a really good group of developers even now working on android 7.1.1
but i9195 is june 2015...

That's the S4 mini plus (i9195l)
I think it is possible to port TW LP to S4 mini. S3 neo and Grand 2 also had LP port from S5 mini(check motion rom on xda). And Grand 2 and S3 neo are about to get TW MM as well as S5 mini got update recently its WIP.
I don't own this device nor do i have much experience of port TW but if i get to know a device close to S4 mini and TW LP &/or MM updates available then please tell me
So please LMK if there is a device close to S4 mini
Hello everyone. Please forgive me but I am a super newbie in regards to rooting and terminologies. I have a Galaxy Note 8 N5100, wifi version. It has the original firmware 4.4.2 and I would like to upgrade it to Nougat 7.0. My son is having trouble playing new games on it so I theorized that it could be due to its age. Before I buy a brand new tablet I figured I would try to see if updating the N5100 would help.
I have googled and saw this link and it seems fairly easy.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2626778
Is that the correct thing to go through the process? And to update to Nougat I saw this:
http://www.android-nougat.tech/2017/03/samsung-galaxy-note-8-0-wi-fi-5253.html
Or if there is a better/easier way I would appreciate it. Thanks.
Wish I could help. I'm just getting back into this tablet myself.I'm sure someone will show up with info.

Hi! I was planning to do exactly the same thing -- upgrade my trusty Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 to Android Nougat -- and from scouring the XDA forums re this device, it seems to me that we have two popular options (based on the comments and thanks-ratings).
Here's the link to the more popular one, it's been renamed LineageOS 14.1 by the developer(s) but is based on Nougat 7.x:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...m-unofficial-lineageos-14-1-gt-n51xx-t3533329
And if for some reason you don't like the name of that one (or for any other reason, just to have an alternative), there's another popular one called RR (short for Resurrection Remix OS). It is based on Nougat 7.1.1_r25 and nightlies of LineageOS 14.1:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...t/rom-resurrection-remix-5-8-2-rel-1-t3571116
I'm about to upgrade to LineageOS now (wish me luck). The reason I'm choosing LineageOS is 'coz it seems to be more popular and is ported to more devices.
Hi I own the same device as you and I flashed the RR rom to my tablet it was really easy, you need to root your device first and then install TWRP (Team win recovery project) after that follow the instructions on the rom
do you lose touchwiz and spen?
Hi,
Do any custom roms offer touchwiz or spen?
Thx

If you are looking to use a more current rom with Marshmallow or Nougat, then yes you will lose touchwiz and probably most or all s-pen features. AOSP roms like Lineage and Resurrection Remix are based on stock android, but sometimes they're the only way to keep an old device current. Touchwiz roms are usually adapted from original firmware or ports from similar devices. Since this device stopped receiving updates at Kitkat, the most up-to-date touchwiz roms you'll find for the Galaxy Note 8.0 will be Kitkat.
I'm new to flashing ROMs... originally rooted my S5 in 2016, but am just now getting around to flashing a rom. My phone runs on Lollipop 5.0. I'm concerned that the hardware will no well support ROMs based on Android 10, 11 & 12 - which is what I'm seeing everywhere.
1. If I flash the newer versions on LineageOS, will they work correctly on my phone?
2. Can I still use ROMs based on Lollipop 5.0 - If so, where can I find them?
Thanks!
There have been many cases of newer versions of Android being ported from a device that can run it. For example, Android 8 has been ported to the Galaxy S6 from the A8, and Android 6 has been ported to the Galaxy Note 3 from the Note 7. In both of these examples, the ROMs have been a port of the Samsung firmware with all the UI but modified to work on the phone.
However, on the Galaxy S5, the only port ROMs I've seen are Marshmallow, even S8-based TouchWiz ROMs are still based on Marshmallow. Marshmallow is still a relatively new version, but there will come a time where eventually support will die out just like KitKat and soon Lollipop.
The question I am asking is whether it is possible to port a Samsung firmware of a newer Android version to the Galaxy S5. If so, what steps would need to be taken? If not, why?
