[Q] Samsung S Relay 4G OK but Tmobile crap

Dear Experienced Users,
I have rooted my Samsung S Relay 4G SGH-T699 (previously unlocked and can use any sim) - I used CWM recovery, etc.
I love this phone.
The only problem is I want to get rid of all the T-Mobile branding crap, especially the Wifi Tethering Problem.
My experience: I use ODIN to flash, I also use ADB and SU. I also love experimenting
Is there some modified stock rom which has a tethering fix? The splash screens I can get rid of using other means.
I would really value some advice - I know you guys are all geniuses!!!
Best regards,
theartistisblue

There are threads with debloated Stock images. There's also some custom image alternatives (Such as CyanogenMod 10.2, and new betas of CyanogenMod 11.0) Just have a look through the forums here, they're not hard to find.

Thanks

Please, Please - could you point me in the right direction? I find Cyanogen a bit alien... I'd prefer a debloated thing.
I really need help. I will even pay

[Completed] Sprint Galaxy S4 - Lost Usage of Stock and 3rd Party Equalizers

Hello, new member to the forum here. I've just been through an ordeal trying to get Viper4Android working on my Sprint Galaxy S4 SPH-L720 running stock Lollipop 5.0.1. I've finally given up on V4A (enforcing kernel). Anyway, my problem is that somewhere during the course of trying to get V4A to work, I lost usage of the stock music player and equalizer. I'm getting a quick pop message that states the equalizer is "occupied" when trying to run the stock music player (it just crashes after this message). V4A has been uninstalled. The phone is still rooted with Busybox and SELinux installed. I don't really need the stock music player, however, Spotify now will not run any type of equalizer (one is not even listed in settings).
Any help would be appreciated. I've tried searching XDA as well as the internet to no avail.

Hi, thank you for issued XDA Assist. I see you already know where your device's specific forum is so I won't link you to it. It's difficult to tell what you might have changed while trying to install viber4android so the best I can suggest is to flash the stock firmware or a custom Rom and start over again.

Hey thanks. I've searched through everything on this site. Anyway, I'm strongly thinking about CM. Little confused about which version to choose. CM 11 is the latest "stable/snapshot" build for the S4. However, I was advised that there is very little to no risk running a CM 12.1 nightly build on it. So, should I just go to the CM 12.1 download page for my model phone and download the latest one? Or would it be safer to go back to a snapshot CM 11 build? Everyone seems to love 12.

Give cm12 a shot. I've rarely had problems with nightlies.

Advice Please regarding Marshmallow on Note 3

Hello.
I have a Galaxy Note 3 currently running the Vodafone official Lollipop ROM. I find it very sluggish and would like to speed it up.
Would I see any benefit in rooting my phone and going to CM13 or an alternative Marshmallow ROM ?
I have 2 apps that I use constantly - IBM Verse and VPNCilla, both of which I use for work. Would both of these apps work
on a custom ROM, as this would be a deal breaker if they did not.
If all of the answers to the above were yes, where would be the best place to download the necessary ROM etc, as it has been a while since I have done this.
Many thanks,
Simon

Yes marshmallow is more smooth relative to lollipop.
As for your apps it depends on the ROM, if the ROM you are using has a VPN bug it means you won't be able to use vpncilla properly ,just check known issues of the ROM before flashing to make sure
XDA is the good place to find development
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development/rom-unofficial-cyanogenmod-13-0-t3238064 try any other if you don't like it ,lots of marshmallow based ROMs out there nowadays

Rom gpro2 lollipop_end d838/f350slk

I am not responsible for flash this ROM, do it at your own risk!!
Hi, I found this LP ROM on vietnam web site if you are interested. I did not make the Rom, all credits go to the developer.
It got some nice features like theme G5, S7, LG home. UI is mix G4+G5, Audio come with Viper4AndroidFX + ExtremeMusic AudioFx. The web site is in vietnamese if you want to read you can use Google translate.
Vietnamese Tread link, you should look under section: A. LOLLIPOP_END, I think the rom based on D83820c firmware.

Sorry I re-posted it under General tread as it's not my work.
Link is ok I think, try different browser Chrome or Maxthon I am using them.

The Vietnam ROM is not reliable, it has phone hanged problem.
The phone just hanged, you need to take out battery and re-start.

This ROM feels good. I used it for 1 complete day. Wifi seems weak. There are some settings which are strictly for korean/viet telecom carriers.
Call quality , music , sound , smoothness , boot time -- really good
Cant comment on battery - just one day of usage.
Ringtones should be a mix of g pro 2 stock ringtones.
Camera - not tested completely. But seems like deprived of some stock g pro 2 features.
If someone fixes these issues , then it can be a daily driver.

Salam dear!
The ROM appreared to be fast in the start. That was probably because I just opened up a few options to see the looks. And posted the comment.
However, I used it for over a month and got very much irritated by it's lagging performance while multitasking. And since multitasking is what everyone always does, the phone because overall very slow and unresponsive. So I reverted back to the default 10Y kitkat firmware which is faster than even the default LP firmware. Because speed and responsiveness is my most major concern. Now I'm comfortable with 10Y on my F350L. 10Y is the final/latest firmware among the KitKat.

LG default ROM of 10Y firmware is best for 350L. 10Y is not available. Just download any KitKat and it will update many a times to finally settle on 10Y.
And just dial 5457#*350# in it for the hidden service menu and select "Global+LTE" option instead of the default WCDMA option in order to enable LTE.

Yes. All LPs were laggy on my F350L during multitasking, even the default LG LP firmwares. So I reverted to KK. And life is good after that
But if you are not feeling lags during multitasking, you should go ahead with LP.

do u know of any AOSP oreo/pie rom for Gpro 2 ... i have a G2 also and it already has pie roms out ... ever tried flashing G2 oreo rom on gpro2 since both are very similar phones

I searched a lot but couldn't find a ROM later than LP for Gpro2. If G2 is a similar phone, that seems to be a good idea to try it's ROM in Gpro2. U can try if possible and inform me so that I may also try if successful.

I had tried only modified LP roms in my F350L which were laggy. Tried pure stock LP roms and they were fast.
I also found ROMs upto 7.1.2 for GPro2: Lineage, RR, Mokee and FlymeOS. But all had speaker issues.
Right now I am using Sudamod 2.0 android 6.0 rom which is perfect in all senses. Only issue was poo mic during call which got resolved by modifying build.prop as proposed here. No others bugs whatsoever. And no need to install Xposed in it. All features are inbuilt to this ROM including root (as Privacy Guard).

Debloated Rom with Wifi Calling enabled

I've had the LG G5 for a couple of weeks now and while Resurrection Remix, Lineage and Fulmics are all cool in their own ways, I really just want a stock debloated rom that is rooted and still has wifi calling. I've looked over all the forums and I can't seem to find one. While I know I can just root and freeze apps on my own, I was kinda hoping someone already did all the work. Micromod was the master of doing it for the LG G4 but it seems this is an area that is lacking for the G5. Obviously, this is for the H830. If you know of one, point me in the right direction. Thanks!

There are no such rom unfortunately. Your best option, which I am also doing, is use to stock deodexed rom and do the debloating yourself by using titanium backup. Just freeze the apps you don't need.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-g5/development/jan-17-2017-20c-deodexed-kernels-t3539611

Thanks! If you have the time, I'd love to see your list of apps that are safe to freeze.

Found one -
The ultra lite rom from the thread below is exactly what i was looking for.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-g5/development/dec-24-2016-h830-20a-deodexed-t3524804

Try it
I have not LG G5 , but you can try the tool to enable wifi calling -
