Hi, everybody --
I have an SM-P900 (WiFi) that I'd like to root. Coming over from DOS/Windows (and the PDP/VAX [!] world before that -- yep, I'm a geezer), I've been lurking for quite a while, trying to figure out exactly what's going on with the whole rooting process. Given that, there are a lot of things I'm still not sure about, but one big one in particular.
My SM-P900 is running 5.0.2, build P900UES1CPL1. I was looking into going with CF-root, but the latest version of CF-autoroot is for build P900UBU0BOI1. Will the BOI1 version of CF-root work with build CPL1, or would I have to flash back to BOI1 first?
Any advice or info about this -- particularly if any of you have been successful in working through this particular combination -- would be very welcome. And if you might think that another rooting method would be more appropriate, I'd certainly like to hear that, too!
Thanks for reading this --

Mark, you're not alone
Hi,
I have the same Tab, love it, and I just (3 weeks ago) used TWRP and installed Android 7.1.1 Nougat ROM onto my Tablet. I love it and it is running well. It gets hot from time to time if I'm on chrome too long, or on Bhootie app for boot animations. But it is running very good and I can't complain a bit. I am just sitting and waiting for the Oreo update to come out. I think it was called "lineage-14.1-20170110-UNOFFICIAL-v1awifi" look for that first. Marshmallow was fun, but it didn't seem correctly ROMed. I am 52 years old and I still love this stuff. I must stop now to go to work. Have fun Mark.
Help me

I bought a couple Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 tablets to develop native ARM Linux applications with. One is stock and updating fine. The other was rooted with the CleanRom image. (4.03) Samsung has image updated my unrooted tablet twice since I got them. There doesn't seem to be any activity or response to messages as to the status of an updated CleanRom.
All I'm after is a rooting method so I can compile native on the device and run a chroot Ubuntu image. I would like my Android updates to remain current but still remain rooted. What would be the best rooting method for me and my SGT2_10.1?
Thanks for any advice or comments!
I was wondering if anyone might have an idea on the best direction to take keeping a SGT2_10.1 rooted tablet current with Samsung's latest release.
Thanks in advance for any help or comments on this topic!

I can not figure out how to upgrade to kit kit on my blu studio 5.5. I'm rooted already. Any help would be great thanks.

Today I read on some post found on a g+ page that the studio, and some other Blu lines, are getting kitkat on May 1st, 2014. No ROMs anywhere around that I can find for this device, just sites that are scam sites trying to infect you. Was hoping CyanogenMod, aokp, or paranoid android would have a ROM available, but nope.
I'm actually trying to build my own ROM for the Blu Studio 5.0S (my family all have the same phone now, and I previously had us on Concur One, but there's so much bloatware in there that isn't neccessary it's absurd -- these things have 1GB of RAM, and yet we have less than 1/3 of that to work with once the phone has been running for a few hours, not to mention that they dressed it up as 4.3.1 when it isn't..).
I've actually tried assembling 4.3.1_r1 manually from AOSP and loading the drivers in -- it causes a bootloop. As far as I can tell, nothing beyond 4.1.2 works on these devices thusfar (though I'd love to be proven wrong); all the ROMs that look like they're 4.2 or 4.3 aren't; they just edited the build.prop and other values so it reported being 4.3.1, and looked like it, but wasn't actually. Bit annoying actually.
I've not tried KitKat yet, as I can't seem to build it in any form, and I don't much like the idea of porting another ROM; I'd honestly rather maintain my own for my family based off the Karbonn S5 Stock ROM.
If Karbonn/BLU does come out with a KitKat stock though, I'd love to know that, and I'll likely be watching for it & will share it if I come across something working, would be awesome to build off that instead for my ROM.
Hey im still running Android 4.4.2 CleanRom and its been a while since ive been around. I feel a bit outdate and was wondering what i should upgrade to. Not looking to do nightly's as i do not have the time, just looking for something new and stable. Let me know what you think. Thanks.

Hi, here on xda we dont compare roms, sorry. its just taboo of the worst kind. Also please post questions in the question and answers portion of the forum, thanks and cheers.
I'll go ahead and reply with respect to the split between KitKat and Lollipop. You'll note a bunch of Lollipop-based ROMs appearing. Some have chosen to flash those, to be on the cutting edge. However, the Xposed Framework - one of the most useful customization tooks in the Android world - has not been updated to work with the "ART" (Android Run Time) and instead is only still compatible with Dalvik-based system. The developer of Xposed has indicated that he may work on updating XPosed at some point, but there is no firm commitment or timeline.
I personally will not be upgrading to Lollipop as I find that the tweaks made available by the Xposed Framework and the plethora of modules built for it, are simply too important me to lose by upgrading to what isn't all that radically different of an Android update.
But to each his own. Thought I'd give you a bit of the background.
P.S. Anything by Santod is quality work (NuSenseSix, UnSenseSix, etc). He really knows Android.
Nothing beats stock as far as stability. For newest, well, the newest official software is stock as well until VZW releases Lollipop.
Sacred cows make extra tasty steaks. That said, I'll make recommendations. I think Fluent is as reliable as the stock 4.4.4 and more so than some of the more radically tweaked 4.4.4 ROMs out there built from non-Verizon sources. NuSense is solid as well, but hasn't been updated in a while, is minimally modified, and is based on the oldest of the lollipop releases. if 4.4.4 is all you want, Clean ROM 3.0 was a solid runner for me.
If you can do your own mods then I would go with Lollipop as you don't need xposed if your looking for stable stick to 4.4.4 for now.. Make sure you upgrade your firmware before if you haven't as you r still on 4.4.2 ROM I'm taking a guess your haven't updated firmware.

What do you mean by doing your own mods? Short of coding them, I'm not sure how one would go about getting Samsung Milk to work, or cleaning up the Notification menu, or a bunch of other things that just aren't commonly built into customized ROMs. If you do know of a way to get such things working in Lollipop, do let me know - I'd then be able to make the switch!

I was just saying if you know how to decompile apks an make code changes an recompile your make your own mods.
Hey guys, I've been searching for ROMS that are for the SM-G925P (I have found some but they're not being maintained anymore). There is a specific one I'm looking for, which goes by the following guidelines:
Deodexed for Xposed (Systemless)
Debloated
Multi-User Support
Using Android 6.0.1
Works with a SM-G925P
That's pretty much what I'm looking for in a ROM.. the only one that's pretty close is Renegade HD, but like I said, its not being maintained anymore
I'd say your best bet is AlexisROM, so far its quite good for me, twisted kernel is also great for Android OS drains (If you do get them with this rom which I use to). I dont think most of the good 6.0.1 Roms are being maintained anymore as theyre getting ready for Android N, they're all quite stable though.
Does that rom run on the SM-G925P? I'm really curious since the last time I tried flashing firmware that wasn't compatible with my phone, it COMPLETELY bricked my phone. Even to the point I couldn't get it repaired. I got lucky the fact that it died and decided to start up again.

I have an old OnePlus One that still works, and I'd like to repurpose it for a child. Which stable ROM do you guys recommend? I see a Lineage 18 out there with Android 11 for the OnePlus. My only requirement is that I'm able to get updated Google apps so I can install Family Link. It currently has the old stock OS. It's been a long time since I've messed with TWRP or flashing a ROM on a phone (like 7 years). I remember some of the basics but I need some real hand holding to remember how to get through the whole process. I found https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/bacon/install which seems to be pretty helpful.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
