Hello XDA-Devs,
Long time lurker, first time poster.
You guys have been a great resource in getting my Nexus 4 rooted, and flashed with CWM + CM11 + Franco Kernel (Which has made a huge difference in usability, and battery life).
However, my boss has some questions for me since he now knows I am a "phone head".
He used to have a note 3, and loved the Samsung Mail App. He said it was the best mail app you could get, and it had a lot of similar functionality to outlook. He is wondering if it's possible to install the Stock SAMSUNG mail app to his Huawei Ascend Note 2. He also asked if he could flash the Samsung 4.4.4 release to his Huawei without getting all the AT&T bloatware attached. I've done an extensive amount of googling between yesterday and this morning and could not find a clear answer.
From what I understand, you cannot flash the stock Samsung S4 / Note 3 / S3 ROMs because the phones do not have the same hardware, but can I get the APKs from the Samsung stock apps?
Would be a huge help if anyone has an answer for me. Or if anyone has the APKs for the Samsung email app, please send a link!
Each Samsung Device firmware is based around what is called Touchwiz Framework. This is propriatory to Samsung device and hence most of the Samsung apps will not function without it. Some of the Samsung Apps do function without the Touchwiz framework but there are additional steps necessary.
Please post in Galaxy Note 3 General so that the right experts for that device may be of help.

Hi everyone
I was checking the differences between the Note Pro and the Tab Pro 12.2 ^^
Those 2 devices looks very similar...
I'm wondering if we could get some Galaxy Tab Pro's rom for our device
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-pro-12-10-8/development/sm-t320-source-build-cyanogenmod-11-t2818841
I think in time we'll see them come, but the thing to remember is that our beloved 12.2 is still very much a niche market due to cost. As the price falls, we'll see more users, and with that we'll see some ports. Until then, I'd suggest rooting it and checking out the Xposed repos; you'll get many of the features of a custom rom.
This is my first Note device . . . How is the active stylus handled in CM on other Note devices? Is one able to sideload samsung apps and other active stylus enabled applications back on without issues?
I don't really care for the samsung apps really but I do like the shell integration of the S-Pen with regards to taking screen captures of parts of the screen or doing Pen-Windows.

Typically if you use a ROM that's based from a Samsung source ( like a touchwiz ROM ) , you'll have the ability to use most of the Samsung apps w/o a lot of hassle. there are non-Samsung apps that will perform similar functions though, so poke around in the forums a bit. CM is very robust and has a ginormous user community, so odds are good someone can point you in the right direction if you want to go with a CM rom.
Can someone make a s5 style rom for the sprint galaxy s4 sph_l720t that has things like the system ui and the ultra power saving mode i know those features and many others can work on the s4 because ive seen many s4 roms for verizon like that i just want one that is for sprint because i dont want to mess up my phone by installing a rom i know you can install verizon rom on the sprint s4 but i dont like it that you have to go to all this trouble including getting a aftermarket sms app i want a rom that works for the sprint s4 without all the trouble
Hi,
Then perhaps you should take the initiative and create your own rom? Anyone can do it with a little homework first. This section has many guides and tutorials that will help you from beginning to end,

Then you'll not be inconvenienced like you are now.
Good luck! ?
This is not a development thread for this Great Tab... this is merely a Q&A for everyone that wants to be involved and share their experience with the Tablet. I personally concider this tab one of the best on the market at its price point and beyond. The reason I've decided to open this thread is the fact that not much info floating around for this device so everything I've done from rooting it, installing custom recovery, installing xposed framework (which took me few attempts to find the right files), partial port of the Theme Store (couldn't find one so used Theme Store apk from my S6Edge+) and tweaking build.prop file to get the best result possible wasn't exhausting but not as fast as to find any of the mentioned for other Samsung devices. So welcome to the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 T715 on MM world!!!
In no way I'm a developer but consider myself an advanced user and maybe even a Themer (beginner). At first I thought of making my first TouchWiz Custom ROM for this tab based on the latest MM update but to be honest I don't have time for it but I can definitely improve your User Experience by suggesting few things since there is no custom roms for our Tab (for those that prefer TouchWiz and not CyanogenMod). I guarantee that even odexed it can be customized, tweaked and purely made great.
Talk about Screen on time, Stanby time, Xposed, Recovery, Root, Your opinion, Your thoughts, Your ideas.
Welcome!!!

There is no full Theme Store port but you can have Icons, Wallpaper, Folder image and it's bg applied.

Too bad there is no real TouchWiz development for this great Tab. if anyone hears anything, plz let me know. but at this point I'm completely satisfied with the tweaks I applied. Stanby is great, SOT is great, customized it and enjoying it very much... fast, fluid, stable!

so can you point me to a great TW MM rom for tab s2 T715 ?! following the link I don't see any. 2 roms, one abandoned, the other don't seem stable. I'm running odexed, rooted, busy box, xposed, theme store partially ported, with build.prop edited. did it all without the link you provided, just from the info gathered over the years. no issues whatsoever, great battery, fast, smooth, but thanx for the info. (and thanx for your input in development for this tab).

I have a Samsung Note 3 (SM-N900P) on Android 5.1.1. I removed the stock OS that the phone came with and installed CM 12.1 (CM12.1-20160807-NIGHTLY-hltespr) Ever since I installed CM, I started having a lot of issues with my GPS both with google maps and with other apps that require usage of GPS services like PokemonGo for example. On this particular issue the carrier is a bit irrelevant, because the Note 3 I own used to be with Sprint, but then I switched to AT&T and I use a Moto E to tether the Note 3 (plus I didn't have money at the time to get the same phone but from AT&T). I've tried looking for relevant topics on how to "configure" the GPS, but i havent seen anyone so far with a similar situation as mine.

Hello,
today I got a new Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos).
Since today I always had a Galaxy S2 with Cyanogenmod installed. I never ever used the original Samsung ROM.
Sadly there is no Cyanogenmod for Galaxy S7.
I am looking for a ROM with these features:
- as much AOSP/Cyanogenmod like as possible, I don't need touchwiz, I'm fine with e.g. NovaLauncher (*but I heard there are battery drain issues on S7??*)
- no preinstalled apps, no google play store, a really "clean" android (of course camera, sensors etc should work)
- possibility to encrypt device, root, xprivacy
- a nice dark theme
1) Is there a ROM that suits my needs?
2) Or should I take the newest official ROM and debloat it with the tutorials here on the board.
Thank you for your suggestions! There are so many ROMs here, it is hard to choose.

1: No. There are no AOSP/CM roms for the S7 due to lack of sources for the kernel. The best you can do is to run some "custom" touchwiz rom where most samsung apps (such as dialer, contacts, clock etc) have been removed and replaced with their google counterparts, but in the end of the day, it's still a touchwiz rom.
2: Since the last phone you owned was the S2, I suggest you give stock touchwiz a real chance, a lot has changed since the S2 stock days so who knows, you might get used to it. The Android 7.0 Beta rom is quite good looking and quite fast, not stock android fast but still pretty good. Give it a shot and see how you feel about it.
