hello world , new note 10.1

Hello there guys nice to meet you :silly: , i ve neen with you for a while , reading some of your threads , but today i got my note 10.1 .
i have some questions though(i did some reasearch first )
1) how long for initial charge ? there is no indicator ,is it?
2) should i update jelly bean imediatly (through kies) i guess i will get a longer battery life , correct?
3)regarding rooting , i guess all guides are updated for rooting jellybean, right? or should i root on 4.0 and then update ?
i ve read that some methods increase binary number count wich will void my warranty ,
and some others won't.
So i would like to point me out some directions if possible . cheers !

So Mr. Trademarked Naturegod.
I don't think anyone will make that kind of decisions for you.
1. Charge it and you will see.
2. Some say so, others don't. Maybe a new ROM can max the battery life as well.
3. There is somewhere an app to decrease that back to zero.
4. You should read some more threads, write down your questions on paper and then search the forum first to find an answer.
5. Watch the registration video. I liked it.
edit: Oh, instead of writing down your questions on paper, use ure new note 10.1.

haha thank you very much , kind sir
btw i dont see any back up option on kies , correct?
any guide i follow here . on how to back up , will be updated ? or i should pay attention to some details?

I really do not know.
The first thing I have made was to install cwm via odin. Maybe an older one because the newest clockwork mod (touch) have some errors in graphic installations of some roms. So I installed a cwm that seemed to work on other notes too.
After that I installed via cwm (pay attention to bootmode) the root-zip and then a good ROM (or vice versa).
Now I can install anything I want. If I install that app to set the modification counter to zero, I can flash the original stock image back to the device and nothing ever happens. (Maybe other people tried and I forgot something.)
Via cwm you can backup. Otherwise you have to use an App like titanium backup.
Before you install any ROM or flash your device... you should install any app you want and you want to test. Play around and the best apps and things you install after a fresh rom flashing.
If you do it step by step, there isn't much you can do wrong. But still pay attention and read everything in those interesting threads. Sometimes the newest information isn't on first site.
Update to newest version, watch out for the exynos exploit (use search, but should be patched with newest samsung update) and maybe - eh, whatever. Use it like other noobs use a new tablet.
If you don't need the pen, maybe you should change to nexus 10 (?)
Normally, most member in here don't write that much. I do because I am new too. Read the Stickies in each thread. Should answer most questions.

HP Slate 7 Extreme kitkat update official

First of, DISCLAIMER, I'm not responsible for bricked devices, dead unicorns, rainbows with missing colors, world war, nose bleed, void warranty (you know that already, don't you? your warranty is void now and it's your fault ) or any other harm happening to your device, you or people around you!
i realised that there isn't any official thread for the HP S7E running kitkat so i thought of starting this.
For those of us who have not received the ota update, it can be downloaded from the HP website. The direct link to the file is as follows:
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software12/COL53023/ob-134625-1/update.zip
Just download the file, put it in the external storage and flash via the stock recovery. Personally i noticed that the tablet got much smoother on stock launcher even on power saving mode.
For rooted users, after flashing you'll lose root. It can be rooted using towelroot v1. vroot worked for 4.3 and before but didnt work for me while running kitkat.
This is pretty much all the info i have regarding our tablets. Hope it helps

Thanks for the tip.... just updated to KitKat

for those interested, this is the benchmark results i get on my tablet running kitkat, rooted. i didn't have a screenshot of it when it was running jellybean so i have nothing to compare with.

for the benefit of those who have difficulties rooting the S7E on kitkat, you can find towelroot at the following link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=54534802
just be sure to use the version 1 apk. Have fun unleashing the potential of your tab!

Hello I'm new here, i have the tegra 3 variant (slate 7 plus) i can't find any info about this tablet, hp only release the Kit Kat Update for the Tegra 4 version?

I had this tablet too. Now it's my wife's tablet.
No no news about anything from HP. Very poor suport from them. That's a shame since it was a very interesting tablet in that time. Hopefully I was able to root and mod it by using missing xPosed modules.
There's some threads on XDA talking about it but they are not very usefull (try a global search). Sorry.
Now for my own needs I bought a Tegra Note 7 Tablet.

will there be Lp for this tablet? I can't see any developer interested in this one as well, it's just 115 so I'm really interested in buying it

I wonder if this can be flashed to a regular Tegra Note 7?

I could not get this link to work, take you to a generic page to pick your couontry cannot find where to download it, or the lollipop update either.

No Longer Available from HP...Kit Kat ROM
HP has removed the KIT KAT ROM from their support site. I guess it was just causing them too much problems. Only JB ROM is available at the moment.
Maybe they are waiting for nVidia to finalized their Lollipop ROM.

Just picked up a HP Slate S7-4400US (NEW) for $99 on Amazon, wish HP did not pull the KitKat update for their site. For $99 it is worth the wait for the update...fun..fun..fun

I also recently picked up the hp s7e. I am very impressed with this thing. Unfortunately, I am totally disappointed at the lack of support from both the awesome xda developers community as well as 3rd party accessories. Both are terrible and something I have apparently taken for granted with my previous devices. I mean when I do searches for this s7e I mean wow the results are non existant or slim pickings! I hope to see more support here and even CM, but I am not holding my breath. Good tablet though, but needs a user community to make it great.

I am used to rooting my devices, so I am struggling with how to identify what wakelock are randomly keeping my HP slate 7 extreme awake. Some days I return to the tablet days between sessions of using and it's dropped very little battery because it has been properly sleeping... Other times it is almost dead because something is keeping it awake. Normally I would use bbs or wld to discover the problem...any suggestions?

Upgrading Nexus 10 running Lollipop

This is my first post, hope you can help me :- Hope its in the right place
I have just acquired a nice nexus 10 and managed to upgrade it to android to 5.1.1.
I am a complete novice when it comes to anything to do with rooting or custom ROMs and have always been scared to tackle anything like this, but it seems a pity that I am stuck with Lollipop when my phone is showing me the benefits of the latest nougat upgrade.
So do I chicken out again or do I ask for advice from the experts in this forum to hold my hand while i upgrade to nougat ?
I see a post by Trafalgar Square "how to install android 6.0.1 marshmallow" and although I don't understand much ( at the moment ) about what the developer is telling me to do I think that if i could have my hand held with a similar GUIDE for Nougat then I think i would have the guts to have a go. I see a posts by Sooti who is advocating using AOSP [7.1.1_r4] ( Again I am unsure what he is telling me to do ) and without an absolute basic guide I dare not consider that.
So what do your experts recommend that I do ? Can I be helped ? or must I allow the general fear of "bricking" my device to stop me again as it always did before .
Must I be so afraid of bricking it or could I be helped to recover from a bricked device should the worst happen ?

Download the Nexus Root Toolkit by wugfresh. It makes rooting and flashing custom ROMs as well as custom recovery a breeze! Plus if you brick it, it's most likely going to be a soft brick (bootloop) and the Nexus Root Toolkit will easily fix it. (Trust me, I've been there a few times.)
If you'd like Android Marshmallow, I might recommend OmniROM, unless Lineage has fixed the battery drain issue. (CyanogenMod 13 was terrible on battery.)
Lineage 14 can be found around here which is based on Android Nougat. It's supposedly really fast and battery efficient. Though it has some bugs, most notably the camera is disabled because the camera server keeps crashing and kills the battery otherwise from what I understand. So if you don't care about a camera, Nougat is available, otherwise stick with Marshmallow.
Since I use my Nexus 10 for Skyping on occasion, I'm stuck with Marshmallow. If Lineage 13 has fixed the battery drain issues, I'd definitely be interested to know.

Thank You Rochester. As I type this post I have followed your recommendations and managed to root the nexus and installed busybox. I will now follow the next section and decide whether to choose nougat

Sorry Agent orange I am new to forums :laugh:

Aye, no problem! I'm glad I could help, and welcome to the forums!

AgentOrange96,
I Chose the OmniROM route like you. Wugfresh has done a marvellous job with his Toolkit, and I will be saying thanks to him too !!!
I am all up and running now and my experiences with your forum has removed my fear of Custom ROM flashing and Rooting, so much so that my nexus 6P will be rooted and customised next.
Many thanks to you ( and Brandon your Chief Admin ) for welcoming me as a member !!!

2 years, now i think i should root & use a custom rom...

Hello there friends
This is my first proper Indian phone, been using it since past 2 year, pure stock just the gcam.
I wish to root it now and use a custom rom.
Can you great guys point me to the latest unlocking and rooting procedure as i am on latest firmware now and not sure if older methods will work or not.
Secondly could you please point me yo a stable, custom rom that is very smooth to operate, battery efficient, without any bugs and can handle all banking apps and stuff.
I am okay if its Android 9 or 10 just a thoroughly stable rom.
Thank you in advance

Hello,
Just did it two days ago, follow this thread (and the linked thread when necessary, like the TWRP one) :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/as...w-to/discussion-unlocking-bootloader-t3786698
Three things to remember for the script to work :
1/ You need to enable USB debugging in developrs options
2/ You need to install the Windows drivers for your phone, that is, when connected through USB, you shouldn't see a yellow exclamation mark in your Windows Device Manager
3/ It doesn't work with Rizen CPU on USB 3.0 port
Once you know that it's pretty straightforward. Oh, one thing that happened to me right after unlocking bootloader is that it asked for password to access Data partition, I had to restart to recovery and wipe Data partition once more.
Don't forget to backup everything before starting, and have fun, this device has a lot of nice ROMs to try

Thanks mate
Can you confirm if b Kong apps re working fine upon unlock and root with the custom roms
That's my biggest concern now
I am ok with unlocking and rooting but bank apps not working owing to rooted device is my next biggest concern.

Followed this method on pie few months back and it works. Follow the instructions and you are good.

I've been using Pixel Experience Plus ROM as my daily driver for the past 3 months and I never look back to any other ROMs!

I'm using Havoc 2.9 Pie, Bootlegger rom is also a nice option, both of these roms provide multiple customizations.

Thanks a lot guys for the replies
Sorry got stuck with some stuff hence could thank you folks and couldnt even visits
If there are anymore newer roms then please do let me know
Thanks again

Just wanted to update
That more tha. 2 years after buying the m1 i have unlocked and installed a custom rom.
I can see encryption thing has come into play now and to root magisk is the drug of choice ?
So i have unlocked the bootloader flashed the twrp wiped all and now using PIXEL EXPERIENCE PLUS ROM but without root as i dont need root atm.
The rom is awesome prior to this i had flashed havoc but this is far better way too smooth utterly battery efficient and no issues whatsoever.
Need a couple of things sorted though
1 how to te remove that persistent search bar at the bottom without changing the launcher
2. How to remove the date and weather widget upto on home screen
Thanks

Anyway, I'm getting used to those widgets and they both are useful for me :laugh:

MIUI 12 slow as ...

Hello everyone,
I have my redmi note 7 with which I've kept using MIUI since I bought it. But now the android system weights for 9 go. I think it is insane for a phone, correct me if I'm wrong.
The phone is slow and when I try to erase everything et reinstall it. The system is faster but the system is still heavy.
Do you think rooting it can help solve the issue ? Or may those 9 go of system be caused by some viruses ?
Thanksnin advance,

Unlock the bootloader and flash a customer without root. You have a big choice, the most one are very fast and stable

Thank you for your answer.
0) what is the weight of a normal custom system once installed ?
1) Do you mean to flash a rom and still using the original kernel ?
The last time I flashed a system, it was on a Galaxy S2.... Did the things changed ? At that time we had an important risk to brick the phone under gingerbread version of Android (that version had some kind of bug) .
2) Are the risks still high today ?
I looked a bit through the list or roms on xda and the lineageOS seems to come out as the lightest rom.
3) Is there a room that is more stable than the others ?
4) Is there a rom that is kept updated more than the others ?
5) What about the android security updates once a custom rom is installed ?
Sorry that is a lot of questions but I need an update since my galaxy S2
Thanks in advance,

First, when you unlock your bootloader your phone make a factory reset. Then you have the choice which ROM. lingeos, havoc, pixel os are stable and have the last security patch. Then you have the choice with or without gapps (Google apps). In every thread is a how to and the recommend gapps. Orange fox is a very good recovery. And brick risk is small. Sometimes I had a softbrick with testing around kernel and modules, but it easy to fix. Make a backup with the customer recovery before. The weight I don't know in the moment. My daughter change the pattern . In the forum is a old how to unlock and under development is the recovery. You will find it. Have fun

I'll post the comparison of the weight of the system once I'll have installed it.
