Last best ROM for this phone with most recent security fixes?

Given the age of this phone, I simply wanted to ask a question on the last, best ROM that brings this phone to the most recent Android version, and provides security fixes? The newest ROM I can find is the Carbon ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/myto...-2015-t3077527 based on 4.4.4, and is newer than the Virtuous ROM I have been using on this phone (4.0.3), as I believe that one of the most recent ROMS that supported TMobile wifi calling (although I'm now on Google FI). I don't use this phone as a daily driver, but I do try to keep it updated, and available as a spare.

Is the Note 4 the last great phone?

Ok, we all know that the Note 7 is coming out in a few days but does anyone actually have any desire to upgrade? I've owned my note 4 for over a year and a half and gone through several ROMs and now I've settled with tx's stock LP OK1 ROM. After debloating and applying some minor tweaks my phone is running great. Everything works. The IR blaster is an awesome tool. I use it to to control my TV's, fios boxes, AC's, etc. The FM radio is great and can use it to listen to my radio stations. I love having the removable battery and when my battery starts loosing juice I'll buy a new one. My phone is fast and does just about anything I need it to. My phone is always in a case with a screen protector, so there are no scratches on it and the screen is perfect.

Now that it's just about 2 years old does anyone have any real desire to upgrade, if your phone is working properly? To me it seems like the missing features such as the IR Blaster, FM radio and removable battery in the Note 7 are a deal breaker. I'm sure it will be a handsome and lightening fast phone. Yeah it will beat out my note 4 on every benchmark but is it worth the 0+ upgrade? I just don't see any reason to upgrade.

Please share your thoughts.

Samsung Official LED Case stopped working after last update ...

Both my wife and I got S7's from Verizon on release day. We ordered Samsung Smart LED Covers from Amazon shortly thereafter.

Both phones have been fine - cases been great (with minor feature issues based on apps - but that's another story).

There was a minor update a few weeks ago. Since then BOTH our phones' cases stopped working.

It still puts it to sleep, but the LED and the swipe detection on the LEDs are dead as a doorknob.

I searched and found a lot of people have had MATERIAL issues (using foil on the back, etc.) and Samsung wants to send me a new one.

BUT ... I'm simply POSITIVE that this has to do with the update; not a defect. Samsung says I should factory reset (I eventually did - didn't fix it).

Can ANYONE else confirm that they have this cover, took the update and had failure after? At this point, I'd be happy to hear that someone else's survived the update.

Appreciate it.

Is dirty install working with last M release?

Anyone tried it?
I mean, can I use my old data.img with this release?

Cheers...

Problems flashing last stock rom

Hello world, I have a problem with my phone, I'm gonna try to explain it exactly.

I had the 4.4 android version for almost two years, until yesterday (yep, I've been so lazy that I didn't touch my phone for that time). I was tired of being unupdated, so I took my phone and I connected it to the PC via USB. I downloaded the last spanish available version 'Spain (PHE) PDA. G900FXXU1CPEM CSC. G900FPHE1CPE3' because I'm from there, I did the essential wipes and I flashed it via Odin, and that was all. After that the phone wasn't working good (I don't remember exactly what happened after that) so I reflashed it again then I flashed both files: BL_G900FXXU1CPF3.tar.md5 & CP_G900FXXU1CPE8.tar.md5 because I thought I had to upload too the modem and the bootloader. After that the phone wasn't working well neither. I think I reflashed the last stock rom then a combo modem/bootloader I downloaded from the Phoenix ROM, then I flashed Chainfire's autoroot and last TWRP. When I restarted everything looked fine except the yellow message on top at the intro "SET WARRANTY BIT: KERNEL". I read about and the phone run every time, so I thought I had to be used to it, that's all. When I started to clean bloatware I deleted some apps (nothing special, just bloatware) and I removed every KNOX app, because I don't care about it, first day I got the phone I set KNOX to 1 because I didn't know about it and now I don't have any warranty anymore plus everytime I have a problem I solve it myself or with your help.

Now the phone is stuck at the boot, with the SET WARRANTY BIT: KERNEL" and it doesn't go further. Can you please help me to flash the last rom, the one I told you, with its proper bootloader, modem, etc? I just want a clean PHE 6.0.1 stock rom for the moment (rooted and with TWRP too, of course). Thank you.

:)

file last modified off by 8 hours on new SD card

Have a weird situation here. I have a Galaxy S7 Edge and I took my 64 gig memory card, moved all files to my MAC and then moved them to a 128 SD card.

Everything was fine on the original card but now all photos in my gallery and bumped up by 8 hours.

For example a picture with a 2PM last modified is now 10pm.

What is even stranger is the SD card shows correct values in OSX, Windows and a different HTC Phone.

Is the Windows modified label not the same on Android?
Any idea what is going on?

[Tutorial] Switch to last Stock Rom (with gaps) from a Retailer Rom

Dear All,

Please find my first tutorial for this phone that I received today.
I took information from different site and from discussion of this forum.
The goal is to help new user and get them quicker to the result.
The idea is no to root in order to keep OTA update from leeco
I will explain how to :

• Install last stock rom (in order to get future OTA update)


• Install Google play store and others google apps


• Make google contacts appears in "phone" menu


• Install Morelocale 2 to switch in other languages than English

So Let's begin,

• Install last stock rom (in order to get future OTA update)

First of all, download here the last rom :
http://bbs.le.com//zt/eui/le_max2.html
While create a leeco account following these instructions :
http://in.lemall.com/in/help/help-pid-5-id-375.html
You might find your activation link into your spams.
When the download is finished, rename the file in update.zip
Put it at the root of the phone
shut down the phone.
press the power button + volume up key to enter the upgrade interface, according to the following specific operating procedures.
Select "Use update.zip Update System" -> "Update" and "clear cache", reboot into the system

• Install Google play store and others google apps

Google play is avalaible form the LeStore, you need to download from there. Type google in the search bar of leStore and you will find it :
Attachment 3810024
After you have google play, you can install gmail, calender, maps, youtube...

• Make google contacts appears in "phone" menu

I had the same issue than others, with the google contact inside the phone.
To make work, download and install this APK :
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-...-apk-download/
After that, go to settings, App management, look for "Google contacts Sync", Permissions, and "tick" Contacts
Now it should work.

• Install Morelocale 2 to switch in other languages than English

If you want other language than English, you can download morelocale from play store.
To make it your without root :
switch into developper mode :
settings, about the phone, click severals time on build number
Install Adb drivers on your computer from there : http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2317790
connect your phone in usb debug mode.
into the command line C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot\ send this adb shell pm grant jp.co.c_lis.ccl.morelocale android.permission.CHANGE_CONFIGURATION
You will be able to change to you language.

• Tips

If you need to read some chinese, use Google translate app from your previous phone, you can take picture to translate some chinese.

I hope it will help some guys.

Battery Drain under mobile network with last MM build

Since update 23.5.A.0.575 my phone is heating and suffers of fast battery drain only under mobile data network, no problems using wi-fi. I don't know if, in this case, is necessary to try a reset using Xperia Companion, it seems more a problem of the updated radio module with this firmware. Any suggestions?

No luck restoring water boarded edge, last rites?

I'd love some advice if there is anything left to try to restore my t-mobile s6 edge (g925t). It was submerged in water for only a few seconds. Took it to the Tekdry machine inside Staples, which dried it out completely. Still not booting up.

I can get into download mode. I've tried reflashing the stock rom (epf1) with both Odin 3.10.6 and 3.10.7, and tried the repartition option with the original pit file. It always hangs at NAND writing. I've tried the smart switch emergency recovery, but it doesn't recognize the phone. I've tried reinstalling Samsung drivers, and rebooting.

I've attached a photo of where the write stops. I've heard of jtag repair. Is that a real option at this point? Thanks.

Last app switch assign to nav bar key

This can easily accomplish through xposed. but somehow xposed causes serious performance issues with lags to my G3. I tried it twice, yet xposed is not gonna work well. Does anyone know a way to assign last app switch to a nav bar key. (like, long press on notification pull key or back key)
Can we do this by editing "usr/keylayout" files(root)
I tried paid apps for app switching but non of them are productive.
If anyone know a way to do this without xposed please help me out! Thank you!

Lg g4 last update

Hi everyone
I just recieved the update for my lg g4 lollipop to v20h-may-16-2016 my Q is that the android Nougat update or MM update please help and thanks

service unavailable. my E2306 randomly just dropped off the network last night

I was out last night and suddenly my phone has no service. Get home try to restart, gets stuck in boot sequence. Trying all the resets I can finally boot the phone. Reset it, same problem. I doubt it's my service provider.

3rd time I've had a major problem with this phone in less than a year. It feels like I might have to RMA it again.

Any other suggestions before I do that? When I restart the phone it just gets stuck in the boot loop and I need to use volume up + power to turn it on fully.

I've never had so many problems with a phone. As much as I try to like this phone, it's an absolute turd. Can't wait for my free upgrade in November.
