Can someone give a review of Lineage 7x on the SM-P900 - Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I like my Note Pro. I use the pen and have quite a few pen apps.
Can someone who uses the tablet give a quick review og how it works, what's great and what's not so great?
I'll then be better prepared to decide if I want to flash the ROM
I'm particularly interested in how the SPEN works and if it's any different to the stock rom. I know I'll be missing the Samsung apps. Just want to see if the pen works the same way in 3rd party apps.
How fast/Slow is the ROM?
Thanks

I JUST flashed my tablet yesterday with OS 14.1 on my P900. It really runs great. Still haven't most things but I made a nandroid backup of my stock rom in TWRP and I can flash back any time I want.
It's fast and so far stable.

Maybe I just got really used to stock-based ROMs, but I'm not a fan of how Lineage runs on the P900. I mean..It's stable...Everything I need works. I use Lineage on other devices, and pretty much all of my old devices have CM on them. I just can't explain why I don't like it on this.
(I am currently using it on this...Probably going on two months)

I've been using it for 1 month and it works quite well. All the features are great and the system runs really fast. The problem is that some of the old features (floating windows, specific software for s-pen and quick access) are not available in Lineage OS 14 for sm-p900... so I ended up missing some of them. I will try the Touchwiz adapted to sm-p900 (based on android 6.0 marshmallow) which is still an upgrade for what I had at the beginning... I'll tell you about this when I try it.
PD: I've been using CM-Spen Add-on as a substitute for SPen software, but it doesen't feel the same.

That review would be really good thank you.
I have a few questions if anyone knows....
I assume the Nougat Split screen works OK - I don't really use floating windows much
And palm rejection when using the stylus? Is that a hardware feature and still working OK?
Is the stylus lag more or less noticeable?
I'm using MS OneNote for it's syncing features, and it's really quite good these days. Does this work do you know?
Does the stylus need to be calibrated? Or does it match what you touch on the screen 100%
Is there a continuous dot on screen, when the stylus is very close to the screen or touching?
Is the battery drain better or worse than touchwiz?
Thank you

[Q] Android port to the Pre 3

Hello everybody,
I was wondering something... If Android can be put on the touchpad, can it be also ported to the Pre 3 which is running WebOS too ?
Actually, I miss a GPS navigation app on WebOS like the one I used to have on my previous Android phone.
Thank you for your answers,
Simon.
It probably can (i think i heard somewhere that the bootloader was unlocked too, like the touchpad)
I have got HD2 since 20 months now, I am thinking about changing it to Pre3, because I like design of the phone, also WebOS looks sleek and decent, however I will miss android functionality. I would like to see Port similar to HD2 android then It would be PERFECT phone to me.
It would be nice to see ICS ported to the Pre 3. Since the Nexus Prime doesn't require hardware buttons it would share a similar layout as the Pre 3, same with the notification light.
In a dream world it would be nice to utilize the gesture area in the Pre 3 in Android as well.
What would be needed to start something like this? Create a bootloader? I'd imagine people would like to dual boot similar to the touchpad but idk if we would be able to use mboot on the Pre 3 as well as the TP.
Tim
I, too, an interested in this and will test anything when i have the time for any devs working on it
I was wondering this too. webOS is generally the same all around. I dont see why it couldnt. That would be awesome to have a phone that dual boots webOS and Android.
how about alien dalvik port, now that webos may live on.

Alternative to Nvidia's apps ?

Hey,
One of the reason I purchased a Shield Tablet was the AOSP-like software, which I hoped meant that I would never need Custom ROMS for it. Well, I couldn't anticipate Nvidia's poor firmwares performances : my tablet is slow and unresponsive considering its specs.
So, I'm considering flashing CM11 on it but that would mean I'll loose Nvidia's apps.
What are your suggestions to replace them ? Limelight, Sketchbook Pro ? Perhaps some Xposed Framework add-ons for Stylus functions ?
If suggestions are many, I'll put them all in a chart.
Thanks !

I'm 90% certain anything else you flash is going to have the same issues, if not more, since every project out there is using an NVidia device tree and kernel with next to no modifications. Nvidia seems to have really screwed up the graphics drivers in this device - Garmin Viago causes an EGL crash, and I'm guessing that most of the lag/stutter issues are due to graphics subsystem sync issues. (All the specs in the world won't fix a deep-down sync bug.)

[Q] Scrolling Lag

Hi,
I bought yesterday my galaxy s6. Everything was going fine, the new touchwiz looks really beaultifull, the screen was the best display I ever seen, the fingerprint sensor works great, etc.
Nevertheless, i noticed a stuttering/scrolling lag in almost every app. For example: scrolling up and down on whatsapp chats stutters every time. It is not smooth as my old iphone 5. On instagram, facebook, contacts, playstore, occurs the same problem... they are not heavy apps, I can not really understand why it is happening. It is bothering me and I will come back to apple if this problems persists.
Anyone have an idea about how to make it work perfectly as a gadget called "the next big thing" and that costs US$ 800 should?
I'm thinking in try to root and install a debloated room, but I will probably lost my warratie if I do this
Hey so while playing with some settings to try and prevent my apps from being killed so aggressively, I noticed that by limiting the amount of background process you can limit the amount of stutter. I have it set to "at most 4 processes" and I've noticed a vast improvement in the stuttering in apps. Just enable developer options and scroll all the way to the bottom and it should be there. Hope that helps!

1.Turn off power saving mode it causes glitches
2. Iphones have smoother scrolls than android becoz of optimisation of ui
Sent from my SM-G920I using XDA Free mobile app
in general, iphones are smoother in 3rd party apps, because of the optimization, and in facebook if you give it a couple of seconds to make it load everything then it wont lag or stutter, in twitter it does stutter......in contacts app there is no lag at all.....i am using the phone for about two and a half weeks.....
Hi everyone! I tried all the solutions that you mentioned... yesterday I tried many configurations and I realized that the main cause for the scrolling lag seems to be the google apps... I reset the phone 3 times and in my last try I installed whatsapp, configurated my e-mails, instagram and facebook was ok. But when I installed the play store, everything start to have lag/stutter.
Does anyone also noticed this?
It is important to mention that, even when the system was "good", when I was scrolling, I realized a slight stutter. It is really hard to accept that android will never be smooth as iOS. This galaxy s6 has a much much better specifications than apple's phone costs the same price.

I think this issue was discussed before here on XDA. If you do a search, you might be able to find a fix to your problem.

I tried to find a solution via xda and other forums and didn't the solution. I understood that this stutter is caused by the UI of Android, which loads the information different from in iOS. However, I didn't find any solution as you mentioned. Could you please post the link?

You should stop comparing android and ios, what ios does is loads everything first then displays and android does both at the same time, ios has too much optimisation to solve each and every smallest issue and they have enough time too as they have only 2 devices a year , though when you get a highly functional and customizable UI like android some stutter is understood in fact we users dont even notice it. Both ios and android are made differently they funtion differently and are made to please different types of customers android focuses more on funtions and features which are at much higher level than ios! Let me give you an example , even if you buy one of the best laptops you will still find stutter because the UI is too complex to work smoothly on the level of ios! If you know a little about coding you would have an idea that smaller the code smoother the program is and thats what ios does plus it has optimisation. My advice would be you would get used to it just ignore it and you will stop even noticing it plus you wpuld admire theore functional andrpid UI!

And they scroll much slower / more limited. Try to scroll through a long list or webpage with just one or two swipes - it's almost impossible on iOS because there seems to be a hard limit how far you can go with one swipe. This can be really annoying in daily usage if you want to get to the bottom of something, but also means that it has to load less content at once which makes it look smoother.

So the android will never be smooth as iOS? It's really hard to understand the reason. For example, windows phones is smooth as iOS and was made to work with several hardwares.
There is any way or app that could help the scrolling by slowing down as you told?

See stutter is only seen in 3rd party apps which are made by other developers and not google ,you wont see them in preloaded apps,so it would be wrong to blame android for that and there is no connection to hardware, windows again is less complicated than android and hence better smoothness so the best would be ignore it you wont even notice after a few days !

Found it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/help/scrolling-performance-t3090271
I'll never stop comparing android with ios.
My old galaxy s4 (FlexOs rom) was as smooth as my girlfriends iphone 5, and faster opening apps.
unfortunately wifi and bluetooth stopped working after 2 years
So, what I did?
I bought the new galaxy s6 hopping it was smoother than galaxy s4.
Everything is really faster. But scrolling is driving me crazy.
I Don't care if both ios and android are made differently and function differently and are made to please different types of customers.
I could scroll with s4 and I can't anymore with s6.
Its not true that Android never became smooth as IOS.
I switched from Nexus 5 to S6 and its a Samsung Problem. My Nexus 5 ist smooth all the Time! On Play Store and Facebook.... I compared with Iphone 6 and its really Smooth. Xperia z3 ist near on Nexus 5 smoothnes. Try it by yourself you will see.
Maybe Samsung have to ask Sony how to make the you UI smooth as Xperia UI in my Opinion.
Totally agree, it's Samsung causing the stutter.
My girlfriend has Xperia Z3 Compact and it runs smooth.
S6 stutters a great deal compared to her Z3 and especially my Nexus 5.
I still use the Nexus 5 although the S6 has a better camera, display and sound.
Stock android fully optimized for S6 (option to use Samsung camera app) is what I'm looking for, any tips?

You should try this rom with Aroma Add-on Package: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...xtrestolite-deodexed-mod-edition-1-3-t3119968
It's really smooth to me, and all galaxy s6 features, like Samsung camera app. \o/

Which rom has the best S-pen functionality?

Hi! New user here. I just picked up a note 10.1 GT-N8013 off craigslist and am eager to update to the latest version of android.
All I really care about is s-pen functionality, and having the newest version of S-note, where I can convert handwriting to text, after I have written it. I am a grad student and want to start taking digital notes in all my classes.
Which rom is best suited for this? I have spent the past three hours searching google for answers, and I have been getting mixed reviews. Some say they lose S-pen functionality with CM roms, but then some say 12.1 allows the S-pen. And then I also read that samsung apps cannot be used with custom roms. Is this true? I want to be able to use the latest version of S-note.
Is omniROM, Gnabo ROM or CM ROM better for note taking?
Again, I apologize if these question seem completely noobish. I am new to the tablet world and rooting in general, but I am capable and a fast learner.
Thank you so much for any and all help / advice. I really, really appreciate it.

Thanks for the reply. Have you rooted your note? I rooted mine so I could upgrade Android, but I'm not sure which Rom is most ideal. Are you running the stock android?

Can anyone give advice on what stylus they're successfully using with this device? I'm a lefty with less than stellar handwriting, but the stylus seems terrible regardless. I would love to use this as a tablet to take notes and, in a perfect world, turn them into text. Any stylus that is compatible, I'd be willing to try if it gave me a shot at doing that.
OR- Maybe just helping me know what type of digitizer is used in the tablet so I can better shop for a stylus?
Anyone else facing laggy experience in windows 10?? eg when pressing chrome to execute, it takes almost 10 seconds for it to get ready.. Or when double taping an exe, almost 10 seconds to even start executing.. Any ideas??

I have been using the Hi10 Pro / HiPen H2 Active Stylus Pen. I bought it when I bought the tablet because they still arguing that Hi 10 Pro is compatible with active stylus but in fact it worked like a ****. In Android I am using INKredible app but stylus work pretty bad and in Windows I download an app specifically for stylus and the stylus still not work properly when I try to write. It only work to swipe down and up and recognizes touching buttons too.
So I think that this tablet don't have real compatibility with an active stylus pen. It quite sad but it's the truth.

Link for "Official Firware" does not work anymore. I found some downloads on this link instead:
https://forum.chuwi.com/t/hi10-pro-official-version-chuwi-hi10-pro-windows-android-bios-driver-tutorial-download/909
Before also those link won't work anymore, I downloaded all the things.
I modified my Chuwi Hi10 (HQ64), removed Android and installed Windows 10 only. Everything works but battery doesn't last long and lags badly. I assume if I change os to a custom android rom would eliminate both issues. Can anyone confirm? If so, which custom rom and how? Tha KS in advance.
