Hey there fellow Polaris users!
As the development is pretty slow or nearly not existent for this device, I wanted to know, if there´s any devs out there that can make a working Android Pie Pixel Experience rom for our device?
I and I guess many others would be willing to donate for the effort. I`m using the Pie GSI for now that works pretty good, but there are some issues that need to be fixed.
bluetooth hands free - no sound from the cars speakers so it´s pretty much useless
Camera - I use the BSG Mod by now and many features are working fine and the picture quality is decent, but there´s no 4k video and no slow motion video. I can live without this for now, but if the device supports it, it would sure be nice if it would work
some more minor flaws that we could work out in the process of making this really happen
Would be really nice to see this happening. The base is already there so maybe this device specific issues can be adressed fairly easy. I´m no dev by the way, otherwise I´d do it myself. But I´m ready to support you in any way possible. Even if its with some money for a pizza and some cold drinks!
All the best

PE rom
Could you tell me how to find PE rom for Polaris，Please！
You can access slowmotion with Manual Camera DSLR app
Just use the PE GSI Rom with latest global dev baserom ? Bluetooth can be fixed if you change the config xml and there are no other bugs ?

Hi. Today I'm asking you something that doen't even seem realistic for me I'm an undergrad. Electrical Enginnering student and I like playing with electronic hardware. I made some projects with CMOS cameras and Arduino. Although I know Java and a little about Android programming, I don't know the inside of the Android ROM (Kernel etc.). Now, here is my question:
Is it possible to replace my 3.15 MP camera with 8 MP camera?
Hardware can be done, but what about software, will it be too hard to change the software for 8 MP? I'm asking just because of curiosity, and hope somebody will help me It will be very exciting to me to try it
Thanks
I can't tell you how much trouble I've seen with cameras... for any rom I've used on HTC phones, it seems to be the last thing working on any development ROM. Even when they do get it working, it's much longer until the full resolution is supported.
When the HTC hero was ported to 2.1, it seemed like eons before damage got the camera working; and a lot of talented devs had already spent a lot of time working on it.
Now for the EVO, with HW003/4 changing cameras/screens in the middle of the game, it's given the cyanogen mod team one hell of job to do.
Personally, I'd stay the hell away from it. The kernel support for the camera looks like too much work...
This is not a good news Thank you so much for warning me.
Hello, after a while of browsing the forums i feel like i miss something on my oneplus, something other phones (atleast some) offer..and i just wanted to know if there are any custom roms that offer those features or if there is any port of those roms, like i've seen yunOS and iunia and so on
so i used a very stable cm12 build now jsut to see how L looks like and while i love it actually i'm more into a more basic and functional design ~
@ 5:41
http://youtu.be/E-UQoMqL-Dg?t=5m41s
here for example that onehanded use and multiwindow feature ~
is there any like port of the nubia thingy or something like emotionui? ~
i found miui ports and yunOS, iunia and so on, why is it that there is no emotionui3 or nubia? ~ are those roms so.. unpopular?
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
Hello all. I bought this phone in 2018 and kept it for half a year. All that time I used ROMS and stuff. Since camera was my most important thing I always used stock roms. Now I got it out of a drawer to make it a retro android emulation device. So the only thing that I care for is to have the best possible speed and performance. What do you have to recommend for this kind of use?
No opinions?

Can only suggest to go with stock oos11. If you want to go with Custom ROMS , my view of best roms with a balance of speed and performance is as below
1. Lineage OS -- If you are not worried about Photography and sheer performance. This will be the best choice.
2. Dot OS or Palladium OS : I am using DOT OS and i love it's customisations and performance. For photography i have uninstalled Gcam 7.3 and installed 8.1 . Palladium on the other hand has few glitches but fairly neat and clean experience of Android similar to DOT.
The choice is yours, but these are my personal favorites. Some would recommend using Pixel experience or Paranoid. Personally out of all ROMS used , DOT os hasn't let me down with my tests or performance.
Thanks for the answer. I don't care about customization or about photography. I will setup this device just as a gaming platform. So I only care about the best performance.
Something similar to LineageOS, with minimal bloat and lag. I'm thinking of buying this, but seeing people having issues with performance just from switching apps and rotating orientations, which shouldn't really be happening considering the specs on this thing.
Sorry to not quite answer your question, but as a P11 Plus owner I'd advise against purchasing it.
Software support is atrocious. It should be much smoother with the hardware it has, but feels overall laggy. We're still stuck on A11 and they should only begin to roll A12 soon(TM) now that A13 is already out, and that's probably the end for this device's support. Not even 12L.
There's very little in the way of custom ROMs or I'd already have flashed mine.
I'd pick whatever I could afford from Samsung if I were shopping for a tablet today. Even the A8 seems better.
It's THAT bad? would it really be worse than my 2015 Nvidia Shield K1?
Does the P11 Plus not have any stock roms at all?
Does the A8 have stock roms?
I mean all I want to do on it is watch video files, streaming, basic web browsing, read comics... just absolute bare bones stuff. how bad could it be for that stuff?

It's ok for watching videos and reading comics. I use Mx Player and Tachiyomi.
Browsing is overall sluggish. I tried using a bluetooth mouse to help but it feels laggy. It's just better to browse on whatever smartphone you have.
Flashing custom ROMs is a bad idea if you want to stream anything as you'd lose widevine L1.

If you care about software, it's bad. Not worthless bad, but annoyingly bad.
Video decoding and rendering works well. Network, storage, audio, bluetooth works good.
There's nothing too wrong with it that makes it unusable. It's just slower than it should be for the hardware it has and software is outdated despite being a relatively new device.
Not sure about the situation of roms on the A8. Samsungs are bad for flashing in general. I wouldn't flash it anyway as losing Widevine L1 is a big no on a tablet used for watching videos.
I checked now and it also seems to still be on A11, so it's also bad over there.
Eh, Android tablet landscape looks ugly.
If you want it go for it, but be mindful software support (either official or custom) isn't great, is all.
I wasn't and ended up a bit disappointed.

Uh, there are definitely custom roms with Widevine L1 support
As a p11 plus owner .I think it's a great tablet..does everything I need from it..just received android 12..
Aß a Xiaoxin pad plus owner I can say ZUI Rom (Chinese version) is much more fluent then international rom
If English is just fine for you, then go with that xiaoxin, it's a subbrand of Lenovo. Yes it has playstore. But don't buy the one that has a global rom preinstalled, the are ****ty according to some posts here
Hmm. Lenovo has a 1 month return policy. And there's this tool: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...mate-app-manager-debloat-tool-tweaks.4147837/
I'll see how it is.
Are there no really no roms for the US Plus version?
