I've tried just about every rom on the internet with my S5, and not a single one will get past the "Android is booting, starting apps" screen.
I have:
- Factory reset in TWRP (with system checked)
- Fixed permissions
- tried with/without gapps
- just about everything else
Any hope for my S5? I have had CM 13 running on it before, but recently went back to stock ROM because of some issues.

First of all what version are you running? 5.0 or 6.0.1? You need a 5.0 base firmware to run asop rom as having 6.0.1 will cause problems

[Q] OTA update 5.1 unsuccessful

Hi guys, I am using rooted nexus 5 with TWRP recovery.
Today I've got 5.1 OTA update notification and then downloaded
It and clicked to install. it rebooted but gone to recovery mode
and nothing happened. I rebooted into system and it still 5.0.1 and says
Your system is up to date. Don't know what happened. Is it because my
phone is rooted and for custom recovery or anything else.
And how do I install 5.1 right now? Please help me as I am not
a very expert android user.
And another thing I want to know is which is the best custom rom for nexus 5.
Thanks
Yes, it's because you're rooted/twrp. See OTA helpdesk thread - it's a sticky on General forum.
Okay..its moved to the proper forum...now I just want to know the solution....how can I update

Hi folks
I am using ressurection remix v5.4 android 5.1 based custom ROM on my N5 for a couple of days and facing some bugs which are
1. When I change app drawer animation sometimes app icons don't show on the whole page.
2. When screen rotate sometimes notification keys don't appears.
3. Facebook messenger doesn't popup. I can't use when I am using another app.
4. Most of the time when I restart the phone, 'android is optimizing the apps xx of xx' appears.
And some other bugs those I can't remember right now.
So I decided to change the ROM but confused which one to choose.
My need is a stable custom ROM with some beneficial changes and most importantly with no bugs.
I really need your help folks.
Thanks

Android Pay

So I downloaded the new Android Pay app last night, but it doesn't seem to work if you have a custom ROM installed. I have a T-Mobile phone and I'm currently on Resurrection Lollipop (CM 12.1 based) and it gives me the error "Google is unable to verify that your device or the software running on it is Android compatible".
This needs to change.
UPDATE - I found a workaround that *may* help out. Go into SuperSU and disable root (or disable however you want), try adding your cards again, and then go re-enable root. This has worked for many people on other phones with this error, but it didn't help on my T-Mobile S4
Let me know if you get it to work on another ROM (or even if it works at all on stock right now) or if you have a workaround for this.

Does it give the same error?

I can't keep KitKat using CyanogenMod

Good morning guys, sorry about the english. So, a while back I installed the 12.1 cm in my GT I9515L (Galaxy S4 VE), the rom was running normally, but i had some problems in some applications that were not compatible with the version BOJ1 (Lollipop). I performed the downgrade of the same for AJN1 (KitKat) to reinstall the CyanogenMod above, the problem is that whenever I go into recovery mode, time to flash the GAPPS, one error appears saying that the version isn't compatible. I performed the test of reset the machine without installing any version of gapps, and the cell was automatically updated to version Lollipop. I would like to ask for your help because I am unable to keep KitKat version in Cyano. I think that it's a litte mine mistake on wipes or in version of cyano, but I googled a lot and found nothing. Thank you guys.

How far can I upgrade my GT-N8013?

If the following table is correct then I have a GT-N8013. I'm running KitKat 4.4.2 on it: (N8010XXUDNE4_N8010BTUDNF1_BTU_N8013.tar.md5).
How close can one get to the latest version of Android and still have a working GT-N8013?
GT-N8000 - Wifi+3G+calling
GT-N8005 - Wifi+3G
GT-N8010 - Wifi (Except USA)

I've just picked up a used 10.1 (first edition) and am hoping to get it onto 5.1.1 or 6.01.
I see a custom CM ROM from Cyanogen, that states it's 6.0 official, but when I go to the site the release is really old for the 8013, and I'm not sure if it's been grouped in with the more recent beta group that is linked in the thread or if it's not.
I also see an older Cyanogen thread for 12, but that's pre 6.0 and appears to be somewhat abandoned.
My Note 3 is on phronesis 6.0.1, and I would like to get the Note 10.1 to as close to that as possible, without dealing with any major bugs.
Thank you for your assistance.
Some progress.
I managed to update mine to Marshmallow 6.0.1 (cm-13.0-20160523-UNOFFICIAL-n8013.zip) via CWM v6.0.3.6 but Google Apps keeps crashing.
I've tried both open_gapps-arm-6.0-nano-20160721.zip (Open GApps) and gapps-600-base-20151107-1-signed.zip. Both take hours to install and just keep crashing whenever you try to do anything.
Anyone have any luck getting cm-13.0-20160523-UNOFFICIAL-n8013.zip / and GApps.zip working?

I had it crashing initially too, with CM-13.
I reinstalled the ROM, root, twrp, everything. I also made sure to install the latest "Stock" Gapps, before rebooting once the ROM was in place. Since then I have not had any issues.
I did however have some issues using the nano package. Hope that helps.
Still no joy
I still can't get CM-13 to work. I use CWM. I made sure I was using the latest CWM 6.0.4.6.
I booted into CWM, factory reset and cleared cache. Flashed cm-13.0-20160523-UNOFFICIAL-n8013.zip.
I then factory reset and cleared cache again and flashed gapps-600-base-20151107-1-signed.zip.
I then factory reset and cleared cache again and rebooted.
No joy.
What actual gApps and CM-13 did you use? Maybe I need to use the same version of TWRP as you used?
I'm stumped.

I used the ARM 6.0 Stock version for CM 13. http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps#Downloads
I ended up swapping to the 2014 model because I got a good deal on a Verizon version (which is locked but oh well), so I don't recall the TWRP that I ran. It sounds like that sometimes gives people issues.
I do recall that using the nano version of gapps was not working for me. Could be a coincidence, but I had constant crashes when I tried using it.
This is the thread I used to grab the ROM and TWRP: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-10-1/development/rom-lollipop-t3269375
It helps to read the installation notes properly
The problem(s) I was having were resolved by using twrp-2.8.7.0-gt-n8013 instead of N8013-CWM-Touch-6.04.6. I also used open_gapps-arm-6.0-stock-20160803 instead of nano but I really think it was TWRP that made everything work.
I'm now running cm-13.0-20160523-UNOFFICIAL-n8013 without any problems.
I consider this thread closed.

How did you get KitKat on n8013. It was never released and no one successfully flashed 4.4 n8010 to n8013. Odin keeps giving an error. Please I've been trying for years now since it's been 2 years since update was released and doesn't look like it'll ever release (**** yoi Samsung with your update **** and regions)
Anyone have any luck? I've had this tablet since 2013 and I stopped using it because it has always been such a laggy sluggish experience. I thought I would try putting an AOSP ROM on it to see if that helped. Everything is so old for this device that it's nearly impossible to find the old files, ROMs, recoverys, etc. I can't even get TWRP or CWM to work on it. Maybe it's not worth the trouble anymore.

Well official only kitkat if you are international (Samsung decided not to release a lot of device updates in the us for kit kat including the s3, galaxy light, and this one). However I think you can get CM 13.1, idk about anything more recent but there is a (slightly) active community for it still left. Its a shame that this flagship tablet was neglected. I hope it doesn't happen with future Samsung ones but I've avoided buying any. I still use mine on jellybean for basic internet browsing and games

Not sure if you're still looking but I just installed Android Nougat v7.1.2 using the instructions provided here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2185119
I have a N8010 that topped out at 4.1.2. I flashed to a N8013 kernel/rom about 2 years ago which maxed out at 4.2.2 . I just recently found that link to the LineageOS build (Formerly Cyanogenmod) when I was contemplating buying a new tablet. The tablet was getting a bit sluggish so I decided to go ahead and blast it out and see what happened. I was VERY pleasantly surprised! Had some issues getting the Recovery flashed but once I did, it was pretty smooth from there. I had backed up all the apps so once I got it booted and restored all the apps, I was surprised how responsive it is. Oh, and you can say goodbye to all those SD card issues that the Note 10.1 had since this version of Android integrates the external SD with the internal SD so everything gets installed on the external card. No need for apps like folder mount, etc.
I highly recommend it. The only issue is that you lose the integrated S-Pen functionality but you can reinstall some of those apps from the play store and bring back a lot of those features. Some 3rd party apps actually work better.
Good luck!
7.1.2 on GT-N80013
I am currently running an unoffical build I picked up here on xda it is an unofficial Lineage OS build. I haven't currently found any bugs... camera works, bluetooth works, wifi works... at least for me. The build number is 14.1-20170810-unnofficial-n8013

I'd appreciate a link to the rom you installed. Thx.
I'm interested as well I'm still running original os. Also wondering if the rom update works well on these tablets since they are older. As Android matures the os gets bigger which can impact performance on older CPUs.

I recently installed Lineage OS 14 and it is working great.
Tablet is stable, everything works, great battery life.
All devices work gps, etc...
The s-pen will not work like it did stock but there are apps you can get that seem to work better
Squid and Sketch for drawing....squid seems cool if you write with stylus
Install Magisk instead of supersu.

[Completed] Samsung A3 (SM-A300FU) Cyanogenmod 13 not working but 12.1

I have been running Cryogenmod 12.1 for my Samsung SM-A300FU but its UNOFFICIAL and a preview the webpage i got it off says 'Wifi and Camera NOT WORKING'. I guess thats what i get for following my mates advice.
Because of this, i looked at CM13 (Android 6) which i got off the XDA site and i have made sure it is for my phone and model, the SM-A300FU. Of course, being my luck it didnt work. I get the error of 'Executing updater binary in zip' and i have wiped my phone then tried to install it and i have also tried to completly remove all OS and files then install it which apparently fixed it for people, but not me of course. In a desperate measure i even bluetoothed the ROM to another phone then back into my SM-A300FU to get it onto the internal storage but that obviously didnt change anything.
Finally, i gave up and tried to downgrade back to Android 5.0.2 although this isnt a CM zip. Once again, this ROM doesnt work. It just gives me an error saying it failed, no reason in particular.
I have a few issues for a whole range of files. Any help in fixing any or all of these would be much appreciated.
Links to the files I sites i downloaded the files from:
CM 12.1 UNOFFICIAL (Not meant to work fully) - https://forum.xda-developers.com/samsung-a-series/orig-development/rom-cyanogenmod-12-1-samsung-galaxy-a3-t3273323
CM 13 (Doesnt install) - https://forum.xda-developers.com/samsung-a-series/orig-development/rom-cyanogenmod-13-0-unofficial-samsung-t3326297
Android 5.0.2 ROM (Doesnt install) - http://www.youmobile.org/blogs/entry/-Firmware-Download-Samsung-Galaxy-A3-SM-A300FU-Official-Android-5-0-2-Lollipop-update-Rolling-out
So to reitterate: I installed the CM 12.1 ROM without issues but it turns out to be a mod that doesnt work fully meaning its unsuitable for me. I downloaded CM 13 but this gets an error. I downloaded a Android 5.0.2 ROM which has an error it doesnt even tell me about.
