[Q] What are the benefits of upgrading our Tab S T700 to Lollipop

kindly share your ideas

Much better overall smoothness, great new notification design

Ability for third party apps to write to sd card. More secure. However it also has its negatives. No xposed support.

Supposedly battery apps need root support to get battery data now, can anybody confirm this?
John.

xposed does work with 5.1 although not officially. Been using it successfully for a couple weeks now.

Much betteroveral smoothness? Really? I heard from many their tab s become more laggy
And beside notification design what else does it add?
I didn't upgrade becouse off compatibilty of xposed and ygly white interface of lollipop which use more battery on amoled devicees too
But I have battery issue with my tab s which many have here and i think upgrading wont change that...

Not on stock tw roms it doesn't. We don't have 5.1 yet

Nothing. Loss of features, HIDEOUS iOS color scheme. Notifications on the lockscreen can now be either Google Now style cards or nothing. Can't simply allow notification icons in the notification panel to be visible on the lock screen.
Custom launchers can no longer change the number if homescreens, apps like Tasker can no longer toggle connections. And the toggle for mobile data is now three menus deep.
I didn't want to upgrade to Lollipop but since AT&T pushed it OTA, I didn't have a choice. Several times throughout the day, I told it "no, I don't want to install the update." So it waited until I was asleep and did it anyway. Now I'm not only stuck with TouchWiz but I've lost the ability to use Tasker to make it bearable. Done with Samsung and done buying anything from the carrier.

Meaning that KITKAT is way better then LOLLIPOP on Tab S ?

"Way better" is (imo) a dramatic understatement. Until no, I've been absolutely in love with my Samsung devices. The TouchWiz version of Lollipop has solidly convinced me to never buy another. It'll be Nexus for me from now on and if Samsung does another round of Nexus, I'll skip it.

I saw this thread in Xposed subforum. Looks like they may have Xposed partially working for touchWiz lollipop. I didn't read the thread as it doesn't interest me, but ya'll can check it out to see if it helps you or not:

Wut??

For me, Lollipop is smoother/snappier. Games are running smoother and barely any lag. Web pages scrolling is smoother too on the built in browser.
Battery life seems to be the same. Some new features and animations are added and now you can pull down notification panel at the lock screen.

Oreo for s6e+ and note 5

This is not my creation, but it took me a long time to find this and it actually works, so I am going to post a link to the other XDA thread to make it easy to locate.
https://www.google.ca/amp/s/forum.x...neageos-15-1-note-5-android-8-1-t3737405/amp/
My WiFi and calls work. The camera was glitchy but if that bothers you, remove it with a system app uninstaller and replace it with one you prefer. I also did not care for lawnchair or trebuchet launcher so I replaced them with pixel launcher(also here on XDA).
I have not noticed any other bugs so far in the past 24 hours I've been using the ROM. Make sure you flash all the zips, there are a couple of zips with the ROM that fix things. Also take a moment to give the developer a thank you, its a fully functional oreo on s6 edge +!
Thanks for reading, enjoy the upgrade to Oreo
Zenlte moddified lineage 15.1/nexusOS for s6e+ done by myself. I did some stuff to get the camera going a bit better. Lower res to 1080p. The full thread is in the s6e+ t mobile forum under android development the original rom and kernel are in the link above at the top.

I fixed the battery life with kernel auditor and replaced the video/camera with s different one. Then I removed the init.d and reinstalled it to get proper access, also used a different super user then the one provided. I've got xposed running with busybox and amplify. I'm not a dev but I am in college studying computer programming. My take on this ROM is if you know your way around your droid well and can invest some time any bug in it is fixable. The battery could be improved more by using a different kernel or editing the one contained in this ROM to add more governor settings and tweeks. I reached out to the ROM developer on that subject, with any luck they will look into it.

Mine stutters a bit but not too bad. I removed the camera and then flashed the s6 edge camera instead of the s6 and it improved a fair bit. Luckily I do not use Bluetooth audio so in my case only recording videos has a bug still and its not a deal breaker as I walk around with my s6 e+ as my surfing and calls device and my s7 is my music and gaming device. So for me I just record with s7 if I need video while I try to fix it. Once I figure it out I will share the details.

If its your second device then it can be used, but as primary device rom is not stable enough.

Error logs for camera.

Logs

I'm not an expert but this seems to be a Java runtime error. I have to really get down to the core and look now. The only time I encounter an error with parsing an int is when the syntax is wrong, like trying to parse an invalid type to an int. I'm starting to believe I'm going to need to remove all traces of the camera from the droid 100% and try flashing zips from different models until it works. Or sit down with eclipse and go through line by line and solve the exceptions Java is throwing.

I got HD working for photos and videos but now the video frame freezes like its a photo and only audio records. Argh

OK I got it. If you edit the settings in the native app and drop video recording from 4k to 1080 it improves a lot. And open camera from the play store looks / sounds a bit better for video. I can now record videos in HD and its not choppy or laggy. VoIP is also working. Besides the Bluetooth issue that you mentioned which I can not test to troubleshoot I don't know of any remaining issues. Have you tried removing Bluetooth drives and files reinstalling it?

Bluetooth-audio doesn't work on my SM-G928F. NFC, WiFi-Direct and AndroidBeam are also not working.

Have you tried not removing the NFC and seeing if it boots?

So the pre installed camera works on and off due to runtime errors and conflicts stemming from Exynos camera3. The files are named camera 2 but logcat shows camera 3. I tried cyanogen but I get the error that it can't find media recorder. I'm going to try installing media recorder and seeing if it works with the cyanogen camera. Fingers crossed

I'm hearing camera 2 API is not fully supported on the s6 devices. This could be the issue. However if I am correct that sucks. Because I can not just swap API. I would have to talk to the dev and he or I would have to reduild the ROM using media recorder API if that's possible in Oreo. I assume it would still work despite being depreciated by Google and it's java.

Reasons you switched back to Oreo

It's just been 30hrs I'm on PIE and i already miss xposed lol and wondering whether i can't survive without it or not, given that animations are really smooth and i like them and battery life for me has improved since no ' Xposed ', so I'm still in a doubt what to do
Why did you guys switched back to oreo?

I didn't yet, but basically i hate two things:
Chrome cannot be downgraded to version 65 and so I'm unable to use address bar on the bottom;
Recent apps view. That thing makes me wanna smash the phone into a wall around 5 times per day. This is by far the most annoying so called feature ever. I hate it. Hate it.
The Split screen was also ruined by ****ing recent apps view.
What i like is the magnifying cursor and the new screenshots editing function, which is really cool.
And the sound controls I don't mind.
By the way, is there any chance to have the latest security patches if i go back to Oreo?

If you go back to July 8.1, your security patches are likely done since google is now on 9.0. As are the kernel and rom developers.

Oh you will most definitely have to do a clean install and wipe to downgrade my friend. Hahahahahaha...I bet you'll be backing your device up once a week after what happened the other day. That's not a bad habit to have though :good:

I try not to flash backwards Plus a like the taste of Pie!

Just to add, I've not yet decided to upgrade to Pie as I just love RR at the moment too much to want to give up this rom, with all its features and my current setup! I've got it running so smooth, doing all the things I like, with all the little features I need, with a battery life that keeps up with my demands. So given I'd only but lose out with some features, it ain't worth the upgrade for me right now.
Plus indeed this new recents app sounds horrible! Can it be reverted back to the old one, is it compulsory??
When RR Pie gets released, with all the current Oreo features and fully working apps/theme etc. THEN I may be temped to try it out...

My 8.1 OS had trouble booting, bootloops, and messages of corruption. So I upgraded to 9.0 and things have been pretty good except for a WiFi tethering bug with my PS4, other devices connect properly but multiple PS4s either drop connection and get just a few kbps. Probably going to downgrade because of that

I switched because I need to have Viper with Dolby

so many complaints

So in the Samsung official s9 forum there are thread after threads of people complaining about the new 'downgrade' to Pie One Ui mainly about the camera features being removed,
Shutter button zoom removed
Separate Video and shutter buttons removed
Pro video settings removed
Selective focus is now useless (s9)
Selfie Camera default view is too close so effects all apps that use selfie camera.
The ugly iPhone look of the overall camera software.
Battery life is down quite a bit although I've been told that the may update fixes this at last.
There are a few other features missing or changed that i personally don't use.
I personally love the new ONEui especially combined with Samsungs one handed operation + app using gestures.
The weird thing is I'm not hearing any complaints in the s9 xda forums about the upgrade/downgrade to Pie.
Are you all happy with your phone's from Oreo to Pie ?
Personally I think they have lowered the quality of the camera to make their S10 phones look superior but that probs me having a tin hat moment

I had my S9 for all of about 2 hours - about the time it took to transfer from a screen-busted S8 to the replacement S9 a couple months ago - before the update to Pie occurred.
I've had no problems or issues with it. And I've had the S8 for just under a year and half so I went through its update from Nougat to Oreo.
I don't know what issues there are with "selective focus". It seems to work fine for me.
Now, I have disabled as much of Bixby as I can (deleted the Google app and removed that search bar too - completely useless for me). Changed the launcher to Nova Launcher which can remove those goofy rounded icon frames, using the BlackBerry Hub Suite of apps for all the IM stuff, even using the BlackBerry Virtual keyboard which I like better than the stock or any SwiftKey keyboard.
I honestly don't understand the complaints towards Pie. It's not all that different from Oreo, and I love the native dark theme.

I personally don't like the update to pie. Battery life is definitely worse, the wifi signal is worse (I tested it between the S5 and S7 and the S9 was the worst). I don't like the UI at all, reminds me of an iPhone. About the only thing I do like is the My files app. It's cleaner and easier to use and navigate.

You have nothing to compare it to then, Oreo was 100x better which is why people are a bit disappointed. And I have to say your setup sounds absolutely awful ?

You missed my line about having the S8 for almost a year and a half, during which time it updated from Nougat to Oreo. So, yes, I can definitely compare with Oreo, since I had it for about a year.
And, except for some shifting around of elements, I find it to be basically the same. I had no problems finding what I need anywhere within the revamped UI.
And, my setup works perfect for me and is absolutely wonderful. You can't say otherwise without trying it yourself

I know that features in camera like pro video, zoom using the shutter button, taking 3 pictures when setting a timer, motion panorama... are removed, but the ui isn't ugly, I actually liked it better than oreo.
Selective focus is a bit improved after software updates, but the blur effect isn't as stong as in oreo.
Battery life isn't too much worse, I think the first month I upgraded to one UI, it was very bad, but it has improved after learning my usage patterns...
Heat is noticeably improved since when I was on oreo my phone was a little too warm all the time, but now it's normal, even available RAM is higher, I have 1.4~1.6 GB free now, compared to 1~1.2 GB in oreo.
When it comes to animations, I find less frame drops with one UI. And I didn't experience any kind of major lag since I got the phone so no worries here.
The whole UI looks better for me, it's cleaner and easier to use, I've not changed any launcher, keyboard, or even themes, everything is stock. And I can safely say that one UI is overall better than oreo, unless you care about the missing camera features.

I am absolutely gutted about the camera software, but I do love the one UI and I just got the May update which is supposed to fix the battery problems.

I hate it that they removed the recent long press to multitask, i mean why would samsung remove such simple usefull feature?

Just go to settings>display>adaptive brightness and reset usage patterns. Then adjust it the way you want in each situation so it adapts to your adjustments...

This is the problem, it keeps cocking up, I reset usage and it's alright for a bit then it's drops to 0 brighteners so I move it to how I would like it and it'll be ok but then I go outside and the brightness doesn't increase so I adjust again for that and on we go because now auto brightness isn't doing anything and I'm constantly changing the brightness in the same brightness I've already set up, I reset again and all is ok for a while and then it starts again.
I'm going to wipe cache partition and reset brightness patterns and see how it goes.

Yes wiping cache might help, I personally enabled show control on top so I can quickly adjust the brightness manually to my liking.

Just Got My Red Magic 5 - Software Limitations

This is the Global version that just came out a couple of days ago. Some minor annoyances that was hoping to get some help on:
1. There seems to be no way to display the battery percentage.
Does anyone know of a system app that I need to disable to get this to work? None of the solutions online work with the Red Magic 5G overlay with Android 10, and I don't want to install a third party widget to get this done.
2. As far as I know, I can't customize the lock screen outside of a wallpaper.
Just shows a general date and time but I would like to put widgets or additional information if possible. If anyone has any insight let me know.
I know the phone just came out, but these two issues are EXTREMELY annoying. I honestly might have to flash this when a method becomes available because I'm definitely not liking the lack of customization Nubia has put on with their Android 10 overlay.

May i ask of yours is passing safety net?

Regarding #1, you are screwed. I've seen this mentioned a few times on different YouTube reviews. Regarding #2, you are correct. But even more surprising and ridiculous is #3, which I'll add here. It appears Nubia is forcing you to use the stock launcher! Yes, that's right, it's currently IMPOSSIBLE to use ANY launcher other than the one that comes out of the box. Nubia has said that this is INTENTIONAL! CRAZY!

I have battery percentage on mine.
Settings > power management > electricity percentage.

There is no settings > power management

Yeah same don't have those options.

Also can't figure out how to access APN settings

I've read that the only way to see % battery is to activate AOD, and the % will be displayed.
Best regards.

You have the latest firmware. My god the launcher is so buggy and bad. They really should let you use whichever launcher you want. Also no setting to change screen dpi or size and it doesn't even have the android 10 notifications. You can't expand or delete or reply from notification drawer. This is really really poor

What versions does everyone have.
I am NX659J_ENCommon_V4.05
Pulse version of phone.
I have no power management options.
I can reply in line to notification in the notification tray.
How is your Wifi speed? I have tried mine on 2Ghz and 5Ghz and I only get about 30MB down, whereas my Honor View 20 gets 100MB.
Launcher is fine once you have it all setup, but kept saying shortcut already exists. If you rebooted you see they are there.
Now I have it all as want it, thats not really an issue now, but not a great setup experience.

Hmm that's interesting.
Here is my screenshot.

Was up to date when I got it.

That's so weird no updates available for mine also

Battery Meter Overlay was the only app that I found to be able to show the battery % (choose the "Overlap the Statusbar" option). You have to buy the paid version if you want to hide it in full screen mode. It is not perfect, but it is better than nothing. You can choose from different kind of themes and change the colours, scale and position so it is pretty customizable
I already new about Nubia blocking the use of custom launchers (saw a review where it was mentioned) before buying the phone and wrote them about it and asked them to revert this bad decision (and I also told them to fix the missing battery %). I hope you all write them about it as well, so they know that they have to fix these issues. And if they don't allow the use of custom launchers they have to give us a better stock launcher with much better customizability.

Do different models have different firmware?
Have they ever pushed an update in previous versions?

Anyone getting poor WiFi speeds?
Mine is just about 30mb down on 5ghz WiFi when my other phone pushes 100mb.
Tried 2ghz even worse.
Thanks
