why on earth u want jelly belly Rom,,u ve ICS its orignal firmware,,plus Q mobile vent yet given u the driver,i wonder if they ll even give this Rom on internet..
Kindly stick to this Rom..this is the best
Q mobile with such low price...Rocks

Please remove NQ Mobile Security & Antivirus after rooting,,your mobile will even work faster..
You may know which system apps are safe to remove
Do not fiddle with system files as we are still waiting for official Rom for A8
So don't take risks else you will ve to contact service provider afterwards.
Play safe guys...This mobile is too good..

Need Help with Qmobile Noir A8
I recently bought a Noir A8 and am pretty happy with what I did. This is an amazing phone and easily beats the Samsung Galaxy Nexus or at times, the SII. Not being very well versed with rooting and stuff, I downloaded the root software and successfully rooted the A8. Accidently I deleted the QAPPS icon and all the apps in it i.e. Facebook, Maps, Latitude and Local disappeared. Now everytime I download the FB app, it can be seen nowhere and to use Maps, I have to search for the app. This is making it tough for me so I needed valuable advice from the gurus out here. Any and all help would be highly appreciated.

Agreed dear, but I've seen on the brochure which says its upgradeable. ICS and Qmobile really rocks but if it really upgrades then why not move a step further with this beauty beast :fingers-crossed:

Hahahaha....Dont worry man..
I did exactly the same thing.....:laugh:
trick just download new launcher,Nova prime is the best with SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 theme ,and you ll see all ur hidden apps
In-fact try editing the launcher setting...Q launcher has Q apps as its folder,and all apps were draged in it..so by just removing Q apps folder,,al apps are there but not showing,,just use new launcher and try to edit this one too..
what i did wrong was i accidently removed original launcher and then cldnt install it back...just leave old launcher

[Q] official 4.3 from sammobile

Hi all
do you know if the version deployed by samsug in the different countries is the same one ?
What I wonder is do I need to wait for the real french version of the ROM or can I download the one that is written here of any country and it will be the same ?

Just the modem and bloatware will be different.. however I think you can also flash your country's stock rom when it reaches ur country.. it wont raise your knox counter to 1

You can flash any rom from any country just make sure you have the correct phone model number.

Bonjour Nico,

I really wonder why you would want to upgrade to official 4.3...
But if you insist... If you want, we could exchange our phones

Hi Surfinette !
Nice to see a girl here !
Actually, I don't have my device rooted anymore since I bought my Samsung Note II,
- because I need it to be stock in order to get my business mails,
- because I understood I did not need it really... what for ? I can install all of the apps I want, I can develop my own apps with AIDE
- because I don't need my device to be running on a custom ROM as stock Samsung ROM already contains all options I need
...
So yes, I still would like to install this new 4.3 SAMMY's ROM, which I am waiting for so long...
However, I share your disappointment, regarding you needs and wishes

You can ofcourse revert back to 4.1.2 or any other version - you will just loose the ability to run KNOX ever again.

Even if I didn't care for a custom Rom, I would want to be rooted, in order to use truly battery-saving apps, add-killing apps, kill some useless system bloatware, use a more efficient kernel, use a firewall to prevent many apps to connect to the internet against my will (and sending whatever data to whatever server without me knowing what they are sending behind my back),...

First you follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2160671 to get custom recovery installed.
After finishing the above said process You can download this https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23610159112651924 recovery and flash. Or U may flash TWRP from here https://s.basketbuild.com/filedl/dev....1.0_i9082.zip
Both have SELinux support so you can flash any latest ROM.

But in spanish forums are marked as working for i9080 and i9080L :/ Then there's no 4.4 ROM for i9080L ? Is kinda stupid cuz Both are galaxy grand, i9080 and 82..

See below post.

4.4 ROMs work flawlessly with I9080L. @tutibreaker successfully used every custom 4.4.x ROM.

Yes, all 4.4 custom roms for grand 9082 works in 9080L ( tested by my own )

[Q] Android 5.0 Lollipop on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S

Will we ever realistically see Android 5.0 Lollipop on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S?

I hope so, this tab is more than capable of running it. Last years entry level xperias are getting lolipop and even the moto defy. I think aosp will come out about december then we'll see a touchwiz version Feb or something. Tbf there aren't many devs for the tab s

Early 2015 or at least in march is the latest.

My best guess. I read in an article somewhere about it.

I have read several times samsung will update flagship models to lollipop, so since the tab s series is their top of the line models atm they will get it like the other guy said early 2015. Now my question, if you have rooted and tripped knox will it be possible to get the update or will have to wait for a rom to flash?

I think we should get together a bounty/donation for eousphoros for a succesful port of CM12 (lollipop) to the Tab S 8.4 inch. It would be nice because it will help with his baby costs too! (that's the reason he's been busy)
hes the only hope we got,
eousphoros, let me know if you want me to start a thread or you can start one of those donate/pledge pages that keeps track of total, much easier. I'll spread it around good.

Hello everyone, I have a problem with my Galaxy Grand Duos. In practice, it is the Chinese version and therefore has not been updated to Android 4.2.2, with the result that all roms that require Android 4.2.2 can not be put. I have already tried to put the international version of odin but does not go. How do I upgrade?
