Just purchased Tab S 10.5... Hyped

What's up fellas. Just picked up a 10.5 tab S (should be delivered tomorrow)
Had a few questions..
I am definitely going to root as I need my titanium backup among others.. Is xposed working on this device?
Mainly for YouTube ad block.
I will be using this as a movie watching device Mainly. Are there any stock based roms that are recommended? I don't want to lose features like multi window by flashing CM.
Also.. I would think a holo or aosp rom theme would be clutch on this device bc of the battery saving factors of an amoled screen, is there anything recommended?
Lastly, any battery saving tips? I usually watch my movies & shows with airplane mode on my Nexus 7, 10 and iPad. Seems to really make a huge difference..
Thanks and I look forward to helping out in this community.

Xposed does work on this device. Stock rooted should be fine for ya, you just need to remove some bloat to remove lag. To save battery, turn adaptative display off and set it to cimema because your watching movies and it would waste battery trying to adjust the tone all the time. Also turn off auto brightness and set it to one that is bright for you. And finally greenify is a good app to hibernate apps after you open them and will stay hibernative until you open it. I got a couple more but cant remeber them right now. Anyway hope you enjoy your tab s! You will see me around the q and a fourms and general fourms most times if you need anything. What version of the tab s did you get? Ex wifi, lte, etc

Thanks for the tips. I have a note 3 so I'm Sorta familiar with the touchwiz bs. I saw a thread on which apps are "safe" to freeze with titanium backup.
Usually someone makes a stock based rom with all the bloat removed but I haven't really seen one yet unless I'm missing it.
I purchased the Tab S 10.5 as I was upgrading my Nexus 7. I was not happy with the Nexus 9. It was built like garbage and had bad battery life and screen bleed. Very disappointed in HTC.
I also purchased the official S book cover which should look absolutely gorgeous.
Is the Chainfire CF auto root the way to go?
Again... Thanks.

Is it the wifi version? Sm-t800? There is a thread on safe apps to delete but someone said it bricked their tablet doing so. Just know what your deleting and it should be fine. There is one debloated rom but the developer has been really busy so he cant fix some bugs. If you have the supported version for cf auto root, then thats the way to root. Before rooting though, please wait till you root as it will viod your warrenty. Wait like a couple weeks incase you have a deffective device. Reports of bad battery happened on this tablet becuase of a loose battery connector. You should get about 8hours screen on time, so if you dont get that much battery life then it might be deffective. Anyway if everything is good root with cfautoroot. I cant wait till we get Andriod L though! And enjoy your tab s.!

Yes.. It is the wifi version.
I'm very familiar with root and rom. Been flashing roms since 2011. Everything from Samsung, Nexus, HTC and LG so I'm familiar with adb to Odin as well as wugfresh toolkit
I'll definitely run it through its paces before tripping Knox and voiding the warranty.. Good looks

Lol. I was a complete noob when i got my tab s in july. I knew nothing about andriod and only apple stuff. I never knew you could install custom recoveries and roms until i got my tab s. Anyway we do have a recovery, its twrp. Twrp 2.7.7.something or somesort is the most recommended build since the latest update has some bugs.

Can you link me to the twrp thread. I can't seem to find it..
Also.. Are we flashing that in Odin as well?

Nope just needs root! Just search twrp in the play store, and it the install, and your device should be chagalwifi if im correct. And done. Now you just have to boot in recovery and it should be there. Heres the thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2817100

That's crazy. I've never seen that before where you don't have to flash twrp in Odin on a Samsung device. Crazy.
Do you know if quick boot app works to reboot into recovery or download mode

For me I dont use quick boot. But i have a custom reboot menu and it should be the same. Rebooting into recovery works with an app but rebooting into download mode with the app doesnt work. You have to do it with the vol down, home, power buttons at the same time when your turning your tab s on. And yeah custom recoveries are easy to install now. As long you have root, it just replaces a recovery file and done.

Congrats on your new purchase. If your as happy as i am with my tab s you are in for a treat. The screen is awesome!

Thank you sir. Looking forward to it. Does this tablet suffer from the non reading sdcard bc of Kitkat? I read that there is an app fix for it? I'm currently looking for a good SanDisk card deal. I bought the 32gb version so a 32gb card should suffice

if your gonna but a tab s 10.5 soon see this. While its a semi loop hole and ymmv, I was the buyer and they had no problem reducing the price on a brand new tab

upgrade kitkat to lollipop, is it worth it, considering the problems.

Before i make the upgrade to lollipop i want to know the positives and the negatives, I dont want to flash my UK T800 and am considering doing the OTA upgrade to lollipop when it is released in the UK.
Can you add to the for and against list please., and i will update the list.
Only owners who have the official rom for their country please contribute.
For : third-party apps can write to the microSD.
Against : Battery does not last as long, lagginess, flash led problem, too much white in the settings, Touch Key duration bug
Thanks
John.

Subjective - the battery life is better/no different for a large number of people, especially if you factory reset.

The finger reader works much better. Otherwise, I don't see a lot of difference personally.

LED FLASH
well since i upgraded my device the LED flash became a problem. I need to reboot the device in order for it to work, after a day or two it'll stop working and i need to reboot the device again for it to work. its not the camera app as i tried it with many flashlight apps and the problem still persist. Other than that, Lollipop is ok on the t700. no problem whatsover just the LED flash.

So is it really the lollipop upgrade that is causing the problem, or is it just a coincidence and it`s a hardware fault really, we need some other people who have upgrade to lollipop to confirm the problem if there is one.

ok, i just read an old blog about this same problem on the samsung galaxy s4, unfortunately there are no replies on that blog. Anyways, im willing to consider that its a hardware problem but im 100% sure that when im on 4.4.2 kitkat everything works fine. when i updated my device on 5.0.2, thats when my LED flash became messed up but still works and will stop and then needs a reboot. Hopefully its just a software bug or something.

I have the same problem with flash led.Also there are lot of new problems which werent there in kit kat.
Random reboots
No service at network,ie networks disconnects as soon as I lift a call
Random green lines
Call audio drops incall
My phone is tab S SMT-705

Anymore reasons to upgrade to lollipop? it`s 1 for an 4 against at the moment.

For me I was having terrible lad problems especially in web browsing to the point that I thought of getting rid of it (SM-T800) but after I updated to the Canadian version of lollipop it got much better. I also did a clean install by the way but I was still having the odd lag but I then did a compleat wipe again and installed the German version of lollipop and it is even better. Still way behind my ipad air 2 though.
On a down side the battery has taken a bit of a hit but maybe after a few charges it might get better. My first charge after the install got me 8 hours of screen on time at 9%
As a matter of interest how is the best way to go from lollipop to kitkat? I tried to between the two lollipop installs but it was stuck on the Samsung for ages so I just flashed the German one.

Well if i can root my T800 without tripping knox i will stay on kitkat until lollipop is sorted out, as i have had no problems with it at all in 7 months, I just need root so i can write to my microsd, I tried that kingroot both the apk and the pc version neither worked.
John.

WRETCHED, WRETCHED, WRETCHED! If you have the ability to stay on KitKat, do it. I don't know if it's Lollipop itself or the new rev of TouchWiz but since I was forced to update I can't stand this device. It's just a huge turd. Notifications on the lock screen: all or nothing. you can either have Google Now style notification cards or nothing. You can't just allow the notification panel to be visible on the lock screen (it is, but it doesn't show notification icons). SD card? Forget you ever had one. I don't know what everyone's talking about with "3rd-party apps can use the SD card now" but I can't even get a file browser to create a folder on the card. Forget about using it as a default storage location (no problem before the update). The new blinding-white color scheme is both hideous and obnoxious. I don't care how much battery it conserves on the new AMOLED display; its fugly and its harsh. Like turning your 4g radio on and off? Get ready to click through THREE LAYERS of menu to get to it, and forget about using Tasker (or any other app) to automate that. In fact, you should pretty much give up on Tasker (or similar) automation entirely unless you manage to root your device.

If i have auto update not checked in the settings in kitkat, will i still get an lollipop notification when it is eventually release for my uk t800 if it still has all the problems, I dont want any update messages that i cannot remove on my taskbar.

John, looking in the general section for a guide to rooting without tripping knox. I used it successfully on my SM-T800. Pay particular attention to the version of KitKat you require to get kingroot working in the OP. I suspect you are on a later version. Make sure to read the full guide and thread. Even though the guide gets you to Lollipop you can skip the last steps and remain on kitkat then disable updates in the settings.

Why don't your just refresh KitKat with Odin? The downgrade will not trip Knox assuming it is not already tripped for some other reason. Once flashed you immediately need to boot into recovery and wipe user data or you will go into a boot loop. The default in Odin is to boot the device once a flash is completed and that must be disabled.
I made that mistake and got stuck in a boot loop. It was tricky to use the key combination to reboot the immediately switch to the recovery key combo so I could wipe user data. For a few minutes I though I had bricked but all was well. I downgraded so I could root it hour tripping Knox following the guide in the general section. The first few steps in that guide and other posts in that thread may be of benefit if you choose to downgrade.

I dont really want to flash, just to get root while i still have warranty on my T800, I will wait for an root that does not require a flash.
Thanks.

How? What guide did you use? It seems I need firmware specific to the t807a. Do yo know where I can find that?

Is the Samsung stock video player any different in lollipop, As in kitkat it does not support ac3 or dts when previous Samsung tablets did, saved some money on the licenses. :crying:

Anyone who does not want to update to lollipop have a look at the link below, you can even remove the OTA notice.

That's the guide I'm trying to use. Unfortunately, that website seems to have firmware for every variant of the T805 except the T807a. I'm hesitant to try it with firmware from a similar variant because I know there are subtle (and sometimes not-so-subtle) differences in the actual hardware.

I feel your caution is wise and I would not personally flash any ROM that was not specific to your devices model stock or custom. I feel your pain, hopefully someone will post a link to the firmware. Why Samsung does not do that itself like Google does for Nexus devices I have no idea.

Install Via the app. After reboot I suggest a force restart. If you still cant boot, clear cache in recovery. You should be able to boot up fine. It can take 5 to 10 minutes, so don't panic.
If you gained from this, I'd appreciate a hit from the thanx button. I just started here on xda. Would make me feel good

I'll try this method one of these days and see what happens. Btw: You posted about the Edge in the Flat forum.

My s7 edge is now fully rooted with Ufirmware and I reflashed the stock BL as Arse18 suggested. I am very happy with the performance of the phone while rooted! It is super snappy! I did a benchmark test before I obtained root on this device. I will post these scores along with the newly rooted scores soon for comparison after I install all my apps on the phone.
The only issue that I have is loss of the fingerprint sensor. When using JKRuse's root.bat, I chose to use the finger print fix when obtaining root through the program. However, the fingerprint sensor does not work now.
Can somebody direct me to a fix for the finger print sensor? In the meantime, I will go back and read through the entire thread to see if I can fix the issue myself.

Not sure, I'll check.

Fingersprint sensor works just fine. I had chosen to not install the fingerprint fix by accident the first time I rooted the phone. I have since rerooted the phone and made the correct choice this time.
Yes, I'm an idiot!

I tried this yesterday and yes, the lag is completely gone. I have yet to see any issues doing it this way. For whatever it's worth, I downloaded the latest G935U firmware: G935UUEU4BRD1. I had no issues making that work. Unfortunately, I didn't take screenshots of Antutu, so take this with a grain of salt:
before: 104948
after: 151326
I have all cores underclocked the same in the before and after. If you leave the clocks at stock speeds, you should see better results. Just wanted to say thanks! This should give a lot more life to my S7 Edge.

I agree 100 percent that there is better results with speed and battery without CPU governers.
Honestly though, this phone still can't beat my g900v s5 running crdroid ROM. Speed and and battery is insane.

Yep, I recently had to wipe one of my S5's and return it for credit, so I could get in on a Note 8 deal from Samsung. Was still quick, by any standard, even on TouchWiz. Certainly even better with a custom ROM.
The battery life with G935U firmware is marginally better with the bootloader reflash, but I have not even debloated yet or tweaked anything beyond the basics with L Speed & Kernel Adiutor. Looking forward to getting this fully tweaked up with all of my previous battery savings. Still, it's so much smoother than just with the EngBoot, that even if it didn't get any better, it's still miles smoother and more enjoyable as a daily driver.

So am I correct to assume this root method is root without the actually engboot file in the phone...is the battery life the same with stock or just slightly better than the previous root method...im already on bra1 u firmware...do I have to flash anything prior to rooting this...can I flash Roms and still maintain better battery life or will I lose root

Does this work on the flat 930T T-Mobile S7?

So, does it work for s7 flat? or just s7 edge?
I'm asking because of the link to the ufirmware part.
Thansk in advance.

Doubt
By following this method to root my Samsung G935V from Verizon would I lose the latest update Android 8.0? Can you confirm if everyting works?

Hi @ROMAD27. I do own a SM G935V S7 Edge from Verizon. I am looking forward to do this process to gain root access on my device however I don´t quite understad all the steps I need to follow. Can you guide me through. Thanks By the way Android 8.0 is now installed on the device. Would there be any conflict?

Does it trip safetynet?

Will this work for the S7 Flat?

I'm sorry, but could you explain the part with the Nougat_S7_Edge_EngBoot.tar.md5 file, how do I use it with Odin?? I´m kind of a noob, but I've flashed my phone before, but it gets hot and laggy sometimes.... Thanks

Phone shuts down abnormally.

Guys I don't know if there's something wrong with my phone or not. Whichever rom or kernel I try, there is an abnormal shut down of my device. Like I'm using it and I leave it for a few minutes or so and it shuts down. I'm not sure if it had something to do with deep sleep or anything, but I need help. Please guys anyone

on custom kernel, random reboots may happend when
1. trying disconnecting whatsapp call
2. trying disconnecting gsm call
can you plug in audio jack to earphone and notice the device? (a strange excersize but worth trying)

Yes, When audio jack is plugged in I did notice a reboot, however, noticed a reboot without it being plugged as well.
Nothing with calls.
I just let my phone sit for a while and it shuts down. I have to power it up again. When I'm using it continuously it doesn't do that. That is why I'm skeptical if it is related to deep sleep somehow.

lets step back for a moment
if you are on MIUI10, or Miui 9.6.x
do you experience the same with your phone? if yes then you should take it up to the dealer and have it replaced. if such doesnt happen on MIUI then its some APP conflicting with your rom or kernel. try to list / think all such apps which may have given root access indefinately.
whatsapp on custom rom makes device act funny ( I experienced it many time) so does few repost apps (instagram)

Actually I'm not using miui since I unlocked my BL and it had been months since I've been using custom non miui roms. This just started recently. I get what you're hinting at, but I don't think there's something wrong w the hardware but I can't be too sure.
Anyway, yes about the apps, it did occur to me that this might be the case. So I simple wiped my device internal(don't use sd card) and wiped all system, data and everything to install a new custom rom. After setting it up, I left it for a few moments and it shut down again (had not yet installed any of my personal apps, just the regular gapps

Has been an entire day since it happened again, I've turned on 'Always on display' to just keep a lil activity on device so that it does not shut off, maybe that did it. I'll try one entire day without always on display

Thanks for all your effort, the problem seems to have resolved on its own. I'm not sure what it was.

now it's happening to me but it's much more severe. First it started slowly now it's so frequent that the phone might shut down even on boot. This is really frustrating.

I had the same problem with my redmi note 7, flashed stock rom with MI flash tool, fixed everything for me

Question Mobile data disconnects every 25 seconds

Hello
I have a issue on my phone
I rooted my phone with magisk a few days ago and now it has a large issue.
Every 25 seconds, the mobile data shows a cross with a circle. This issue happens about 10 seconds. Then it returns to normal. And then the same thing happens.
It showed IMEI unavailable in my phone settings. Then I typed "chmod 550 NVD_IMEI" and then the issue began.
How do I fix it
Video is down below:
I use the SM-A325F with Android 11
Can I just fix it by flashing the pit file?
Your browser is not able to display this video.

i am apparently facing the same problem on the newest firmware which is A325FXXU2BVG3. I switched to a GSI because this problem was getting on my nerves. this problem doesnt exist in GSI so its a bug with samsung's own firmware.

Is the 25 seconds mobile data issue also happening to you? Or does it happen permanently?

my mobile data only dies when i hit it with a load e.g. a speed test. and sometimes it dies randomly. its not permanent. calling works fine. when i hit it with a load like loading images the service just goes away permanently for 5 seconds and then comes back. and this keeps repeating.

i am sorry i have no such expirience. i dont know what will happen. i am currently just using crdroid 8.8 bgN since that fixes my issue. i have accidently erased my imei before but i restored it by deleting my efs partition then factory resetting (WONT RECOMMEND AT ALL. IF YOU DO THIS DO AT YOUR OWN RISK AND BACKUP THE EFS PARTITION)

Nand erase also didnt work, idk what i should do to fix the issue. The thing is if i call someone, i only can call them for 25 seconds before the mobile data disconnects which is stupid.

Hey I just noticed gaming performance on crdroid is terrible for this phone. I switched to arrow OS. And God demn.. ITS SMOOTH. THE UI ITSELF IS SMOOTH I have yet to check gaming performance. The customization feature ain't that much but this is amazing. If you want to get a lil bit smoother expirience then switch to this GSi. The download link is same as above Just go to files tab AUG-v415 arrow os.

Oh yeah I am downloading a very heavy game. It will probs take a lot of time (thanks internet) so I'll update here once I test it out. otherwise I'll go back since crdroid had more customization and it also had a game centre that showed fps, changed performance mode and more.

Hey I am back. Sorry for the wait. I didn't test the big game it didn't download yet. But I did test COD Mobile and it works great. Since my phone is rooted I installed gl tools and faked my device unlocking alot of graphics settings. I set all of em to high and the performance is good. I haven't tested with genshin tho. The only thing that makes me sad is that this GSi doesn't come with game space which is included in crdroid. Even tho it's supposed to come with latest versions of arrow os. Although I guess you could install a port and get away with it. Anywho I guess you can test It out for yourself. I'll install a fps counter to check for fps lag too. also I don't know about fingerprint. MY PHONE'S SENSOR IS PHYSICALLY BROKEN so I can't tell since in Samsung stock firmware it doesn't work sooo. Another thing again that this ROM doesn't come with face recognition although I installed LSposed and then installed a module to fix it. Works just like crdroid. Soooooo if you want it tell me and I'll post the links along with instructions.
