If you have a custom recovery i would use a stock based rom, e.g. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2225784

Can you recommend a stock based rom to the 3g p3100 version or a custom ROM? I try many roms but I have the same problem sometimes random restarts, lag in basic things like watching videos and opening the pic gallery it happen when open the settings too, I tryed now the Resurrection Remix latest security patch and cant watch videos looks a problem in codecs or something, to work I need reboot but the videos runs so slow and browsing too its impossible (Not using chrome or another browser downloaded from playstore, thank you.
All flash that I do is FULL WIPE System, Data and Storage 100% clean.

Don't expect to much. It's an old tablet.
Make a backup of your ROM and maybe check some 4.4 or 6.0 ROMs. If you're still not happy, go back to stock or it's time for a new Tablet.

[Q] Custom 4.2.2 vs. Stock 4.2.2

Hi guys,
Well, after having my P5100 (Samsung G. Tab 2, 10.1) with a stock rom, I've decided to change it for a Cyanogen stable rom, dated of 2013-09-23 19:17:17. Stock rom (4.2.2) was very slow, with lots of lag on it.
I have done everything as the "manual" says, and installed the above mentioned rom. It became more fluid, and more simple. Perfect.
But i am having here an issue, that I don't know how to solve it.
The thing is that I usually read newspapers on my Tab. This works as it follows:
1. we download an app of the newspaper,
2. every time we have a new edition we receive a notification by email, saying that the new issue is available for download;
3. we open the app and start downloading;
4. after downloading, it starts installing the newspaper (since it is a bit interactive and not just a .pdf)
Since I changed to Cyanogen, with the same 4.2.2 as I had on stock rom, when the newspapper installation comes to end, the app simply closes with error. From that moment, I can't even open the app since it simply will close again with error.
Any ideas how to solve this that doesn't require getting back to stock rom?
Many thanks! :good:

Hi there,
I've tried what you suggested, the error still happens.
I really don't know why it runs on Android 4.2.2 stock, and don't on Android 4.2.2 cyanogen.
Thanks anyway. If you remember anything else to suggest, I would appreciate.

Is this normal?

Hello XDA!
I have some questions about my n8010. It is a tablet that I bought in Greece, in case that is necessary to know, and has an interesting background. It started late May. The tablet was unrooted and without any mods whatsoever. I was running the latest Jelly Bean update and had A TON of lag. I had replaced TouchWiz Launcher with Nova and a different gallery and music app with still a lot of lag. So I decided to flash CM11 since it would be lighter for the tablet. After some research I followed the root guide from Zedomax and everything was fine. I had root and so I proceeded doing a backup. This where everything got weird. The backup started but was stuck for long periods of time. After some time being stuck in a screen I decided I should force restart. After the Galaxy Note 10.1 logo appeared it just hanged there without booting into Jelly Bean. I checked recovery and download mode and they where all working fine so I flashed TWRP. It worked and so I took a backup and proceeded installing CM11. I had it already in my SD. I had followed the instructions in the XDA thread that said about removing a line to make it work on the n8010. The flash went great and after factory resetting I rebooted the tablet and everything was OK. At the first boot WiFi wouldn't work but after a reboot it was. The only thing that wasn't working was the video recording. It is a deal-breaker as I use it a lot. I had to switch ROMs. I tried CM10.2 and it still wouldn't. Same goes for Revolt. At lat I switched to a TouchWiz based ROM. Specifically Hyperdrive RLS8. Video was working so I stayed there. I was noticing that since I flashed CM11 my tablet showed up as an n8013 which was very weird but since these ROMs where designed for the n8013 I thought it was normal.
One ROM also had the front facing camera able to record. Upon further inspection I found that Download Mode had my tablet as an n8010 but with the flash count 0 and the status official! Now, I'm either super lucky or the completely opposite! It also says official under About Device! Fast forward a few months and I am now in a situation where the tablet lags once again like crazy. I uninstalled a couple of apps and also installed lighter alternatives and it's somewhat bearable. I was reading the Official OmniROM thread and saw that others also had issues, most of which had the new KitKat bootloader that I don't have, with YouTube and the Video Recording. The latest nightlies are said to have a fix. So I am thinking of installing OmniROM since I am lagging a lot and I would like Screen Mirroring to the Chromecast. My only concern is that I will either brick the tablet or the camcorder won't work. Many people have bricked their Notes and can't go back without the Samsung Service. Most have the new KitKat bootloader which I don't and I'm happy about. My tablet is in a weird situation, what should I do? Anybody else experiencing these issues? Any advice is appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Chris
Edit: Forgot to say that I flashed Carbon ROM in September and I got a status 7 while flashing with PhilzCWM that I had installed in order to flash Hyperdrive. I had to flash back to Hyperdrive as it wouldn't boot after the status 7. It probably happened because it didn't have SE Linux support. If I do anything I'll flash the latest TWRP.

I would have fixed the original lag issues first. I would get it back to factory stock 100 percent, once back to factory I would do A factory reset and start all over. Get the system running stock as it should then reinstall apps one at a time. if it can't run stock for whatever reason other roms not going to fix the problem.
at least with factory stock you know what should be working. Instead of guessing if the problem is part of the new ROM

Thanks for the response!
Good idea! I was thinking of going back to stock and repeating everything. It should fix all my issues. It's too bad that I don't have a working stock backup and I will have to flash through Odin. The reason that I am not doing this is because I am afraid of making it even worse from the official status state that I have in Download Mode and my device is an n8013 under About Device. A flash back to stock through Odin would probably flash most of the system parts which would be kinda dangerous. But on the other hand that would mean that I could give it a brand new try with better luck possibly! It's not that TouchWiz ROMs don't work, it's AOSP that doesn't. I played a lot with Hyperdrive and seems like it's doing better from the lag prospective. But that's only gonna last 15 days. I am sure! So, I'll have your response in mind! Might try it out when I have some free time. Unfortunately, that will probably be Christmas.
Thanks,
Chris
Going back to stock is good advice.Should certainly fix the video problem which you said was important.

I don't have any video playback issues. It's just the camcorder that doesn't work in AOSP ROMs.
Yes.My use of the word "video" should have been "video recording".
The time has come!
Hello everyone, happy holidays!
The time has come that I follow your instructions. I've done my research and here's how I'll do it. Do you agree? Do you have any other suggestions?
Take full backups with my current configuration (Hyperdrive RLS8, PhilzCWM)
Factory reset the device and clean it up so that there is a lot of space
Install Samsung Drivers
Flash Stock Greek 4.1.2 Frimware (N8010XXUCMK2_N8010OXXCMK2_HOME.tar.md5) through ODIN v3 1.85
Let it boot up and do a factory reset from stock recovery
Flash TWRP 2.8.1.0 for the GT-N8010 (openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.0-gt-n8010) (I chose this version since it has the most downloads)
Make a full backup once again
Flash Omni ROM 4.4.4 (omni-4.4.4-20141222-n801x-NIGHTLY)
Flash SuperSU (UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.40)
Flash PA GApps (pa_gapps-modular-mini-4.4.4-20141214-signed.zip)
Factory reset
REBOOT!
Check everything (Video, model, download mode, bugs, etc.)
REPORT!
If everything goes correctly I believe I should be OK! Hope my issues will be over since the tablet is slow once again. Kinda scared, so that's why I'm asking you. Will I be (mostly) brick safe? Hope so!
Thank you very much for your support,
Chris
P.S.: Should I root before leaving stock? I mean through TWRP.

I did it! It worked. Everything went OK but:
- Flash count is 0 and status official
- Back camera records in slow-mo
- Chromecast mirroring does not work
However:
-My device is an N8010
-I use the front camera instead
-Mirroring was not really needed
-LAG IS HISTORY!!! [emoji50] [emoji2] [emoji2] [emoji2]
I am so impressed by the performance, still doesn't best my nexus 4 with KK 4.4.4 but it's a GIGANTIC IMPROVEMENT! Veeery happy! Thank you for your support, I wouldn't be here without you!
Merry Christmas and happy holidays!

Help choosing ROM and Recovery

Hi everyone.
I rooted my Note Pro 12.2 (wifi) a while back and installed a basic rooted ROM, not CW12.
I honestly don't remember which ROM I flashed. I believe it was just a stock de-bloated ROM, and if it's the one I think it is, in the thread it says that ROM was faulty and dev has stopped for it. I see the kernel version and build in the "about" section under settings but I'm not sure if that number would tell me which ROM it is, or just the ROM and kernal that it was built on top of.
I basically wanted a stock style ROM with the ability to change things as I wanted. I'm still noticing a TON of lag. Scrolling on pages, loading apps, screen lag between touch and actual input of characters when using on screen keyboard, etc etc. I've frozen a bunch of bloatware and other things and it helped a little, but it's still pretty bad.
Audio latency with recording and MIDI apps is very bad, but I know that's improved with lollipop.
Aside from lag, it seems that GPS won't lock on no matter how long Iet it look for a signal (hard to tell if it's the ROM, but my Note 4 has found GPS very easily). Also, my Note 4 (unrooted and stock at this point) is waaaaay smoother and faster than this tablet. I realize we're talking about lollipop vs kitkat, and that the Note 4 version I have is the snapdragon one. But it still seems like performance should be better on this tablet.
So I'm wondering if anyone can suggest a good ROM for me to flash until lollipop comes out for the wifi version of this tablet. I want the stock multi-window functions (4 at a time plus floating windows), so CW12 is not an option. I want to use some of the Samsung apps like s note and Hancom office. I use the s-pen from time to time with the pen apps like write-on-screen.
The "rooted" features I want to access are turning off the camera sound (adding the switch to the settings menu in the camera app, not just replacing the sound file with a dummy file) Changing PPI of apps (xposed module) and full access read/write on micro SD cards and really important is the ability to add any app to the multi-window apps list and force orientation. I've been able to do all this with xposed modules.
Other than that, stock would be fine if it wasn't so laggy. The main reason I want to try another ROM is the lag. On screen keyboard has a lot of lag, but even my Logitech k810 bluetooth keyboard is laggy.
I'm also currently travelling and don't have a PC with me. So I'm hoping I can flash the ROM without ODIN, or perhaps I can use one of the ODIN-for-android type things on my Note 4 to flash a ROM to the Note Pro 12.2. Also I have the stock recovey, and would like suggestions on which recovery to use instead. Again, no computer with me to flash a new recovery. Ido have an OTG cable and USB flash drive so Ican back up my files before flashing the new ROM, as well as a miscro SD card.
Any recommendations for a smooth, fast ROM? Any tips on flashing it without a PC? I know I can copy the ZIP to the tablet and flash it from recovery...but it is the stock recovery...is this going to be sufficient?
THANKS!
The hyperdrive rom by sbreen (in the dev section) works great. Isnt there an internet cafe in the vicinity? Ask them for assistance flashing the beast. I love twrp. Good luck!
I tried to find an easy root apk thingy so you dont need a computer, couldnt find anything (but maybe kinguser or something like it will work)
Link to twrp with explanation
https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxynotepro122exynoswifi.html
Thanks! TWRP is I think what's on my Note II back home. My tablet is rooted already of course. For the Hyperdrive ROM, one thing I'm a little confused about is if I have to FIRST install a stock ROM and THEN flash the custom ROM. I'm a little confused about why exactly but I see that in the forums from time to time. It's recommended for certain ROMs. I don't know if flashing the stock ROM updates some other firmware/hardware driver type stuff that's needed for the new kernal to work or what.
There might be an internet cafe. I'm flying from Vienna to Lithuania today. Trying to explain to them that I want them to download and install ODIN might be tough knowing only English and Spanish haha.
Sorry for the noob question but is clicking the thumbs-up icon what generates "thanks" or do I do that somewhere else?

If its rooted you can install twrp without computer (see my link) use twrp manager fromthe play store for that
You only have to flash the custom rom
(Make sure you backup on an ext sd or something, then delete everything in twrp, install custom rom, restart and done) I also always backup the launcher settings, if you backup the apps with titanium restoring is very easy afterwards)
Lemme know if this works for you!

I'm already having trouble installing TWRP. I can't do it from the app, as my device isn't listed. I downloaded the zip file of the correct version of TWRP and tried to flash it using the stock recovery. But when I boot into recovery mode, it still just goes to the stock recovery. Then I downloaded and installed ROM manager from the play store and it shows TWRP as being installed, but whenever I boot into recovery I just get the stock recovery.
I'm back home now and I guess I'll just try to do all this with ODIN.
Is there any reason I can't just install the custom ROM using the stock recovery? That's what I did last time.
Ok So I got TWRP installed via ODIN then I used it to clean wipe and flash Hyperdrive ROM but gmail app won't even open, just crashes immediately, and it's one of the main apps I need so...probably gonna look for another ROM...or most likely gonna flash the stock ROM, unroot and sell the tablet and get a Dell Venue 11 Pro. Might wait till the end of July though, the supposed release date for lollipop on this device.
Had the same problem. Install hyperdrive without the gmail app option. Afterwards install itmvia the play store.
And if you want lollipop give cyanogen a try. I love it (but its a personal thing).
Ad make sure to read the Venue reviews, they are not very positive.

I wanted to try lollipop because I use it for music, and latency is much better with lollipop. My Note 4 is running lollipop and I get way better performance from MIDI keyboards and guitar amp modelling. I really like the multi window functions on the stock and hyperdrive ROMs though, 4 at once, floating, etc. I'm sure as soon as lollipop is officially out for this device, someone will release a rooted version.
Thanks for the tip on gmail, fortunately I read it before getting too deep and just reflashed without gmail it and then installed the gmail app as you suggested and it does work. There still seems to be a bit of delay when using the on screen keyboard, not as fast as I had hoped. But it's up and running.
I was considering the Dell after trying a bunch of different audio and video editing apps for android and realizing that I just need full photoshop, premiere, and Reaper with all my VST plugins, so I need windows. Perhaps Surface Pro is a better choice but I like the Venue's chassis better, fanless, rounded corners. Also new tablets might be coming out with Windows 10 so another reason to wait...
My laptop is great but it's really big and I like a touch interface for on screen mixers and instruments. So I figured a tablet PC might work best for me. But the problem is GUI scaling. with the Windows legacy apps like Premiere and Photoshop, the buttons and menus don't scale, and on an 11" 1080 display they are quite small.
Just wait for win 10 and while waiting fine tune your 12" beast did you try system tuner pro already? You should be able to get less latency from that.
(And did someone mention "buy a Mac" already?
I am surprised, because after testing dozen ROMs I found stock ROM fastest one. Just root and debloat it.
Not so any lag or problems, but with custom ROMS I had a lot of problems.

Indeed, cyanogen requires a lot of tuning (but its what I like about Android, I am more tinkering with it than actually using it I believe

I checked out system tuner pro (didn't buy it yet just read the description) What exactly would I adjust to get lower audio latency? Just clock the CPU higher? OR does it have audio-specific settings not mentioned in the description?

Looks like Samsung official lollipop (I read that it has way better latency) is finally coming to your tablet.

WHAAAAAAAT?!?!?!?!?!!? I've been checking sammobile EVERY day for the lost couple weeks waiting for this! OMG OMG I'm hoping I'll be able to use the Samsung Audio stuff with this, their DAW and amplitube and all that...plus I'll get Hancom office back...Thanks for the heads-up. I'm glad I've been using CM12.1 though So I can compare the experience.
Looking forward to the rooted version of stock lollipop making its way to xda as well! Now... to figure out the best way to back up my current installation...

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)
GT-N8013 - Wifi (Only USA)
GT-N8020 - Wifi+LTE
KK 4.4.2 is the last release from Samsung .
Android then see your models custom rom section .

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.

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)
GT-N8013 - Wifi (Only USA)
GT-N8020 - Wifi+LTE

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.

MMS not working

Hello all! Long time lurker and user of LOS 14.1 on my osprey. COM13 before that. I'm not a tech wizard like most of you, but I'd say I'm fairly good at navigating this stuff. Hope someone out there can help me out with MMS issues.
I'm on 14.1-20190220-Nightly with squid's kernel and my service provider is T-mobile. I can't pinpoint exactly when but at some point in the last month, I stopped receiving MMS messages. I can send them, but when I try to receive, I get the "check your APN settings" message. APN settings have not changed and I have confirmed they are correct. I've wiped the cache partition and that did nothing. I don't know what else to try.
A possible related issue: sometimes SMS doesn't come through either until I turn off WiFi, or reboot. This is a difficult thing to reproduce, it seems intermittent.
Any direction or advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
In the settings find the option to reset the Network settings.This section can get munged.I'm not on the Stock rom on my 2015 X1541(Osprey) I've recently installed Lineage's 16.1,"Pie" .Absolute dream rom.I didn't think anyone would bother making PIE for such and old phone but Lineage have done it proud

How long ago did you install 16.1? Any issues at all with it? I might just go that route
I recently did the Network Settings Refresh to try and solve an issue with constant dropped Bluetooth connections. But I will give it another try! Thanks!
I installed PIE a few days ago.Not had one single problem with it.
I got it from here,
http://www.droidthunder.com/android-9-0-pie-on-moto-g3/
and I think it's compatible with your phone if.....
This Android 9.0 Pie based Lineage OS 16 ROM is compatible only with Motorola Moto G3 (Moto G 2015) with model numbers XT1540, XT1541, XT1542, XT1543, XT1544, XT1548 and XT1550. So do not try to flash this unofficial custom ROM on any other phone as it may cause permanent damage or even brick your phone. So its always better to confirm your device before moving ahead.
I made and kept a Nandroid backup of the Stock rom on my Laptop just in case.I now keep a Nandroid backup the PIE install with all my apps installed and the phone setup on my Laptop as well.
So many great features in PIE.I've even been able to swap my Return and Recent apps buttons from Left-to-Right as I'm right handed and hated having the Return button on the left
Tip:
If you do install any Custom rom wait for it's first boot to normal screen(Usually takes quite a while) then reboot to Recovery and do a Factory reset before you set up the phone.I've done this with every Custom rom I've installed on Android phones and it seems to prevent many problems.
I think some people also do a Factory reset before installing Custom roms as well.I can't remember if I did but most likely did .

Interesting. Have you tested MMS and Bluetooth? If those are working, I might just do this.
Thanks for the tips, I keep full nandroid backups too, just in case. I hadn't heard about performing the factory resets during the process but I will do that this time. Is the sequence: factory reset, then boot the ROM, then reboot back into TWRP, then wipe and flash as normal, then boot into new ROM, then reboot into TWRP, factory reset, then finally boot the ROM and setup as normal?
It seems strange that droidthunder instructs you to copy the zip file to internal memory, then wipe the internal memory and then try to flash the zip. Doesn't seem like that would work. Why not just copy the zip to the SD card and flash from there?
Cheers!
I think I just copied mine to the SD card.
I don't use MMS much as WhatsApp etc is way better and normal phone calls/Networks are getting old now but I've just tested MMS and working fine.
I don't use Bluetooth much but it works between my Moto G3 and my DooGee Chinaphone running Android Mokee custom rom.
PIE rocks!!!!!!!
Better battery management.Super slick and as said great features.I don't use the new Gesture system as I've always used,"Holo Launcher" instead of stock launchers and use it's Gesture options but PIE has loads of features but they have been moved around a bit just a bit of a new learning curve but nothing too hard.

Cool! Thanks for the feedback! I'll assume I have the factory reset sequence correct. I dig Holo Launcher too. Been using it for many years now

One word of warning.If you do a Factory reset after installing the Custom Rom it unroots the phone but I wanted that as one of my Banking apps won't run on a Rooted phone.I could just leave it rooted and use the Banking web page but the apps are more convenient

Ah yes, good point. I do like some rooted apps like Titanium and Greenify. :good:

You don't need Titanium as TWRP Nandroid backup saves everything on the internal memory and everything else I want to keep is on the cloud or copied via USB to my PC/Latop.
As for Greenify those kind of apps are useless.You don't need battery savers in Android and even less since Marshamallow.PIE has awesome Battery management and even learns your usage.
FYI. I tried so many different things and nothing worked. Factory reset, no. Clean wipe and reflashed 14.1, no. Called service provider and they refreshed my connection, no. Then I installed squid2's 15.1 beta and it is working very well. Solved a lot of different annoying issues I was having. Hope it keeps working!!

So far, so good. Loving this ROM. It is as close to perfectly functional as any I have ever tried.
