I have sold my last Vibrant and moved onto other devices. Since I find myself reposting links and instructions, I will just go ahead and leave these links that other might find useful, especially those who plan to start rooting and flashing the Vibrant for the first time.
(Technically these links can be easily found using the search function and/or Google, but sometimes searching does not prevail.)
Remember you make these modifications to your phone at your own risk so make back up of you data. If you flash any ClockworkMod (CWM) packages, make sure you create a Nandroid backup just in case anything goes wrong. You can use ODIN images to restore your phone to stock.

If it's flashed via CWM it's not really a *hardware* fix, now is it?

I put it together quick, mixed it up it with the hardware fix guide.
What surprised me is after performing the fixes and patching, the Vibrant gets better GPS signal than my Galaxy Nexus and the Xperia Play which has GLONASS support.

Great post,what are U aiming at(for device)since vibrant is coming to me?

I was going to get the Nexus 4, but I bought a Galaxy Nexus for $200 instead. I am reading on the Nexus 4 feedbacks to see any issues, it probably was the right thing to not get it right away, there seems to be build issues with the glass, breaking due to pressure while in pockets, similar to the S3. Also there are proprietary drivers especially by Qualcomm, I guess without them custom roms won't get the best performance, so I'll see about that also.
The Galaxy Nexus is so fast once you customize it anyway, so its good enough for now. I feel like I'm spoiled on small screen size, it felt strange going back to these giant screens.
Hi Everyone,
I have a Galaxy note 10.1 (N8010 wifi only), and I was wondering if anyone has been able to find a good Jelly Bean firmware for this device.
I have installed the Stock N8000 (3G version) on my N8010 using Odin, and while the software works great as long as the screen is unlocked, random reboots occur when the screen is locked.
I don't really want to give up Jelly Bean on my tablet as the Samsung apps (S Note, multi-tasking, etc) are much improved, the improved usability has led me to the decision to deal with the random reboots for the time being.
Is there any way to port over the upgraded Samsung application software (improved S Pen functionality, updated TouchWiz sustem) to the ICS stock firmware? If not, is there a firmware/ROM out there for Jelly Bean that is made to operate on the wifi only version?
I could flash a custom ROM, though I haven't found one with the Samsung apps included - would this be accessible by flashing gapps or something similar (probably not gapps since it's Samsung software).
I would happily stick with the JB ROM I have now if there was any way to address the random rebooting issue, I've tried uninstalling any phone/SMS/mobile network related software using a utility called Link2SD but the random rebooting persists.
I have also tried (per the advice of another thread) enabling airplane mode to that it stops seeking mobile networks, though I have enabled wifi from here to make my tablet useful...rebooting still occurs, though it may be less frequent.
I'm rooted, so if there's anything I can do as root to address the rebooting issue, advice would be much appreciated. I just want to take an axe to all things mobile data/3G related. I'm sure I'm not the only one suffering with this issue here!
Cheers,
Nick
If you read here for about 15 min, you will find all that is needed for your problem. Get setcpu app and set to on demand and no more reboots, flash the n8010 fix to eliminate the phone framework.

Missing Toolbar
Thank you very much for this info, much appreciated!
I have overcome the random rebooting issue, though my toolbar seems to have gone missing! I wiped the dalvik cache, not sure if that's what cleared it out? Anyway, I'll wipe my tab and set it up again to see if the toolbar returns. Thanks again!
Cheers,

The fix for 8010 worked for me, I used the German deodexed Rom. After you flash the jb Rom, boot in it and set-up your stuff, only after that get in cwm and flash the fix.

Since this issue has resolved this thread has no use anymore.
To OP next time be sure to create a question thread HERE
Thanks and thread closed.
Who NEeds Help To get to KitKat?
If you are already Rooted..... Go here to Civ.'s thread and you can flash his rom and get the Kernel while you are there.
All of the instructions are in the threads. They are as close to perfect as we can get.
**as of 6/18/2014 after flashing I would keep checking back until you see that the issues are all resolved and pay attention tothe threads and read, read read, read them and make a back up before you do anything....
Good Luck With Kit Kat!!!
If you are not currently rooted, please send me a note or make a post and we can figure out where you are and what you can do to get rooted.
Please Make Sure that you know what your firmware is BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING LISTED BELOW!! basically, you need to know what you are doing before you start.
We have KitKat OTA out there so if you use any of the Jelly Bean Stuff you can BRICK your device.. Take HEED!!!!
First and foremost I take No responsibility for anything that happens to your Tablet, Phone. Rooting will invalidate you warranty, so do so at your own Risk. If you make a brick, paper weight or anything else out of your phone, Tablet, Phablet, I take NO responsibility.
I take NO credit for anything that has been developed, I am simply putting things in one place for all of us to find easier.
Jelly Bean Stuff Only Below!!!! Make sure that you know what version Rom you are on!!!!
(Have you taken Heed?)
Take a Stock ROM and Make it Customized...!:silly:
If you are new here, This is a nice Glossary of Terms put up by droidstyle and created by Jawman27 , Big thanks to them for setting this up...
Most everything I have found is pretty east to do for even the most novice of users. There are a few things that will cause anxiety, but what I have found it that most of the dev's are really good at listing instructions on how to use the magic they have so freely given. Read, Read and Read again till you understand the instructions...!
If you don't understand ask questions in the OP's thread and I am sure that the dev or others in the thread will give you sound advice and clear up any misconceptions. If you ask your questions here I will do my best to answer, but you are always going to find the most relevant information in the Thread of the OP. This is a Thread for you to see what is available out in the world...
With that being said I am setting up this thread here in this forum because there are slim pickins around here and we have a ton of stuff available to use that most are not aware of in the Galaxy Note 8 world. Some of what I have found that works here on the Note 8 (5110) I found in Other forums for other devices. Lot's of things are Compatible, some are not. Remember to choose wisely if you did not see it here in this thread and you don't know if it works.
I can only speak to the GT-N5110 because I own this device. Once others with Other Devices post with success stories then I can say that this will work with them.
If you found something that works that didn't come from the Galaxy Note 8 Forum, Post it and give a little instruction on what you have done that might differ from the OP from which it came. If it does come from this neck of the woods then post it with a link to the op and I will incorporate it in the the OP if it makes since.
Please don't rewrite the instructions here, If you are not the developer then let them speak for themselves. Post a link to the OP
Everything I post here in the OP I have tried and have succeeded in doing... Please if you succeed then post we want to here about success and if you have a failure so we can look at what happened and make sure that I/we all understand what is going on...
And we're off! ( Please note that these lists are never complete. this is a work in progress, so if you find something add it so we all can benefit from it. )
ROOT
How to Root your new device.
This is what I used initially...
I used Chainfire's thread located here in the Galaxy Note 8 Original Android Development Section. Chainfire is the Man, many props for all of his hard work. Buy his apps if you use them and like them... I did!
We also have mskip Galaxy Note 8 Toolbox. I use this applicaiton. I paid for the premium version because it is a way to give back to these guys for their hard work. If you use it and love it pay for it... (I did.)
Take a look, read the OP, re-read the OP and when you get back let us know how you did, what you did when you did it...
**New Update 8/6 Here is a New Root Process for the GT-N5120. This was put together by Slipurson. Check out his post. This was done with a Windows 8.1 PC with out running in compatibility mode, so keep that in mind if you are using a different version. This will be for GT-N5120 the LTE version only. Big thanks to Slipurson for your work on this!
Follow Directions carefully and you will come out with a rooted device!
UNROOT
I found out a few things about the process when you UNroot. I just had to unroot my Note 8 and put it back to bone stock...
Now If you have to do this, I would suggest going to SuperSU > Settings > Uninstall for UNRoot. If you do not do this and use Odin to flash back to a completely stock Rom. you might get your self into a bootloop... Not a tasty cereal, just a frustrating issue that will cause some slight irritation...
If you find yourself in a boot loop after doing what I just suggested not to do then You will want to flash Chainfire's CF AutoRoot. If you have any questions, please hit me up first before you make a brick!
Here is the only method that I have found so far. Big thanks to janjannsen99 for getting this together. THis will take you back to the original version 4.1.2. As soon as we get the next release 4.2.2 I will post a link to it.
** Note** If you need help above and beyond what is in janjannsen99 thread, post it up and I will see what we can accomplish...
Recoveries I back up after I back up and then I back up twice! (credit 2 Sublime)
Look in the Original Android Development you have a few to choose from.
Some like TWRP some like CWM. It is wise to have access to both, some roms or other flashables may be dependent on which recovery that you use. So remember to read the OP and the thread of what you are about to flash and see if there is a mention about it. If no mention then I wouldn't worry to much about it. Just as a rule of thumb make sure you have a nandroid back up before you flash anything...
1. here is a link for TWRP. Thank you to emwno for his work on bringing this together. Please read the OP in his thread... I use this and have had no issues...
2. Go Here for CWM. Thank you to emwno for his work on bringing this together as well...
Stock ROMs~~
TW ROMs
1. JellyBeans from beanstown106 here For JB 4.2.2 N110 wifi only... CMG2..
This is a great solid stock ROM. I have found it to be very stable and it has taken well to the MODs that I have used on it. I have been follow beans on my other devices and I trust and can depend on the quality of his work. Now go grab it and read the OP so you know what you are getting...
2. JellyBeans Stock 4.1.2 ROM Here EMF1. I have not used this ROM, but if your into 4.1.2 then I would suggest giving this one a try...
CM 10.2 JB 4.3
I was able to get this installed on the GT-N5110 Using the TWRP recovery and with my 64gb card with exFat.
**Sorry about any confusion... You can try and use the CWM recovery, however if it does not work flash TWRP and try it. Have a copy of each Recovery (CWM and TWRP) on your internal storage just in case you have to flash your way out of there.
**Note, cm10.2 works good, however it is still a little buggy... so not suggested as a DD. Yet, Stay Tuned! The ROm recognized my 64gb exFat card, however it was acting wonkey with some apps so Be Advised! Just use your 32gb Fat32 sdcard and you will be jammin...
Goo.im just dropped a new version of Gapps for JB 4.3 You will need this for the CM 10.2 ROMS!!!!
1. CM 10.2 Jelly Bean 4.3... BIG Thanks to sbrissen for getting this up for us over here in Note 8 Land. This is a build for GT-N5110. Remember if you want to use any other of the apps mods or tweaks with it, Go to the OP for the MOD or thingy and make sure that it is compatible with JB 4.3
Kernels
I am on Stock for now. I am running JB 4.2.2 and I have not heard of any other than stock that do support exFat. (microSD 64gb native formatting)
MODS Don't Forget to Back Up
1. xposed framework This works well for this ROM.
** Go to the Downloads section from within the Xposed app and look through them for the Mods that are designed for TouchWiz Roms...
example, you open up app settings go to gmail, set the dpi to 160 & screen (dp): 1000x1600
I did this for System settings as well and they look nice. Play around with it and we can build on it...
** Note I have attached a disabler for the Xposed framework in case you get into a boot loop or something else that is awful... Just flash via Recovery and you should be well again...
1a. Within the xposed frame work, you can go to the download section. Look for XBlast tools and or Wanam Xposed mods. These will give you all of the freedom to tweak the UI with out having to flash any mods. I have this running on several devices and they are excellent.
2. Audio Mods
Go here for Viper Audio. this is sweet and it really pumps up the sound on your device... Read the instructions carefully and you will be fine... I installed the "XHiFi version v2.1.0.2:" version.. This is your processor option ("CortexA9/15 with NEON") when installing, I am not saying that my option is optimal, but it works well for me. Let me know if you give it a shot... update 8/4... I just added FX version as well. The 2 together are very nice... I highly suggest this if you like your music..
3.Floating Windows Note 8 Mode Switcher I love this little app. It is great, it give you Floating windows & a easy way to switch between tablet mode and phablet mode. It works very well and is super easy to install and get going. I highly recommend this application. jump on over and read the OP and get the floating multiwindows going!
--addons for this I highly recommend
3a. Multi-Window Manager so you can add all of the application you want to multi-window. If you like the application buy the Pro version. I did and I love it...
You also going to want to get a different launcher,look around the Play store and find one that you like. Most have a free version to try before you buy. I personally use Nova Pro... Go check it out, It is really smooth with the higher dpi setting you get from the Note 8 Mode switcher
We've Got PIE!!!
4. LMT Launcher (PIE Controls) Thanks to noname81 for developing this awesome app for us to use. I have successfully installed v 1.9.1.2. Just grab the apk, install and you're off! no rebooting just install and PIE, PIE, PIE!!!!
You get PIE controls, ISAS & Gesture controls.. Very Nice... Read the OP all of the info for the goodness you want with a Stock ROM...
Apps or APKS
1. Link to the Google Edition 4.3 Camera This works I have it installed. and it is pretty sweet. (even on a 5mp Camera)
2. If you need a 3-way reboot menu, there is an excellent app here for that... [Holo Reboot]
3. AirDroid find it on Google Play: Here is a cool little app that let you connect to your PC wireless. You can do all kinds of stuff with this app, transfer files, rip apk's from your device, screen shots, activate camera remotely, explore it and let me know your findings. There is a paid subscription or free version.
Must Have Apps for a Rooted Device... As Always, if you like the app, buy the Pro version and show support to the dev!
0. SuperSU https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.supersu&hl=en, Buy the Pro version...
1. Busy Box https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox&hl=en
2. Titanium Backup https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup&hl=en
The Next 2 apps I find are essential if you like to have frequent back ups but don't like to boot into recovery often. Check them out!
3. Online Nandroid Back up https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.h3r3t1c.onnandbup&hl=en
4. Nandroid Manager https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.h3r3t1c.bkrestore&hl=en

I installed 4.2.2 (N5120XXCMG7) with the help of Mobile Odin,
But if you are on 4.1.2 and no Root this is how you get 4.2.2 and Root in just 34 easy steps
This will be for GT-N5120 the LTE version only.
READ THE WHOLE THING ONCE BEFORE YOU START!
Also thanks to Chainfire, Sammobile and Clockworkmod
All this was done with Windows 8.1, no compatibility-mode for Odin or anything like that
If you are already on a rooted 4.1.2, you could start at step 14. (or step 22 if you dont need to do a nand-backup)
00. Firstly download the firmware from Sammobile, this takes some time if you do not have an hotfileaccount so do this first
01. Download Chainfire's CF-Auto-Root-konalte-konaltexx-gtn5120.zip with included Odin (Here)
02. Download Clockworkmod's CWM Recovery (here) This will be used to make a backup of your Note 8.0
03. Download Odin 3.07 (from here)
04. Install Samsungs USB-drivers (found here)
05. Unpack the CF-Auto-Root-konalte-konaltexx-gtn5120.zip-file somewhere on your computer, so that you can find the files easily.
06. Turn off your Note 8 and start it with holding volume down and power to get to download mode.
07. Press Volume Up to get start download mode, and connect the USB-Cable to your computer, let the drivers install
08. Start Odin 1.85 from the folder where you extraced the CF-Auto-Root-konalte-konaltexx-gtn5120.zip.
09. When the Square at ID:COM say something like 0:[COM7] on a yellow background and Messagebox says ADDED!! you are good to go.
10. Click on the PDA button and browse for the file 5. CF-Auto-Root-konalte-konaltexx-gtn5120.tar.md5 (.md5 might not be visible to you)
11. Now click Start and wait for Odin to flash rooted kernel and reboot your device.
12. You now have a rooted 4.1.2-device
13. Close Odin on your computer
14. Shut down and start the Note in Download mode again (volume down and power, then volume up)
15. Unpack Odin3.07.zip to some good place on your computer
16. Start Odin 3.07 and connect your Note to the computer
17. Click the PDA button and choose the RecoveryCWM6.03.2-GT-N5120.tar-file you downloaded earlier.
18. Click Start and wait for Odin to flash recovery, then reboot your Note 8.0
19. Shut down and unplug the Note.
20. Start the Note into recoverymode by holding Volume Up and then pressing power until it boots,
21. Once in recovery, choose backup and restore and then backup to external SD-Card (if possible, else backup to internal)
22. When backup is done (might take some time), reboot the Note, go to playstore and buy Odin (there is a free version here on XDA)
23. Plug in the Note to the computer and unpack and copy the 4.2.2 firmware to SD-Card.
24. Optionally you could here install Titanium Backup or Helium to backup your apps and games since i suggest you wipe your data later. If you dont have any progress you want to save then you could skip this step.
25. Start Mobile Odin, accept root-permission and let it download the flashkernel.
26. When Mobile Odin is done downloading, select Open file..
27. Select external, browse to and select the 4.2.2 frimware (N5120XXCMG7)
28. I suggest that, if you do not live in the UK, touch the Modem-selection in Mobile Odin and choose Clear to not flash the new modem (for me LTE didnt work when i flashed the new modem)
29. Make sure Enable Everroot, Inject SuperUser and Inject Mobile odin are selected.
30. I suggest you also check Wipe Data/Cache and Wipe Dalvik also (this deletes all your data on the device)
31. Touch Flash and to make sure the downloaded file is correct, let it do the MD5-check
32. Let Mobile Odin work (will reboot twice) and you should soon be booted and get to do the setup of your new and improved Note 8.0 with 4.2.2 in all its Samsungy Glory
33. If you do not like the bloatware from samsung, just install Titanium Backup and Freeze any unwanted applications.
The backup we did earlier with CWM Recovery, needs a Working CWM for 4.2.2 incase you want to revert back to 4.1.2. I am not sure if the CWM-Recovery we downloaded earlier works with 4.2.2 as i havnt tested (i havnt done any backup even tho i tell everyone to do so).
Great idea and it will be very useful to me as I just got a new Note 8. Thanks very much.

I recommend this thread be stickied. fullllllll of great info and would be a shame for it to go to the depths of the xda abyss
I installed 4.2.2 (N5120XXCMG7) with the help of Mobile Odin,
But if you are on 4.1.2 and no Root this is how you get 4.2.2 and Root in just 34 easy steps
This will be for GT-N5120 the LTE version only.

Awesome thread. Just got Note 8 on Sunday and I am already on 4.2.2 rooted with multi Window enabled.
Thanks

Hi all
I can't get a Mobil/cell connection when using roms like pa or catalysm. I also don't get a pin request. On stock everything works fine, carbon Rom was also fine.
Any ideas?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
same here, with a Samsung Galaxy Note 2.
It happened with several Android 4.3 & 4.2.2 ROM (my fav is PA).
Finally I gave up und went back to stock and then to a slimmed near-stock 4.1.2 ROM (Thunder Lite).
Suddenly and ever since there are no call in/out problems anymore.
Conclusion: for my Samsung device I suspect driver/or radio incompatibilities. I'll wait for Sammy to release a proper 4.3 stock ROM.
But that shouldn't be a problem for Nexus 4.
ok i finally made it.
The Problem was the Recovery!! The latest teamwin recovery was installed. Now i changed to clockworkmod and everything is fine.
Mayby the recovery was the problem or something went wrong on install.
but now its working:victory:
I always use CWM and PhilZ Touch (based on CWM), and had never problems with the Recovery.
Screen Mirror fixed!!
Thanks to a few guys in the 2014 threads I have finally found a fix for screen mirroring. It is simple and easy to do. simply boot into download mode, hook up to odin and reflash the stock recovery and your done! Using my screen beam pro while posting this right now. If you need the stock recovery it can be found here

Do you know if Screen Mirroring works with WiDi devices? I have a stock, unrooted SM-P900 and have not been able to get it to connect to the WiDi device on my TV.
Originally my S4 worked but now even it will not connect. Since I don't use this very often i am unsure of when it quit. Probably linked to one of the updates.

I do a lot of traveling and this is a great solution for watching movies, when it works. My WiDi device is fairly small and connects to the TV with HDMI. Since WiDi is a direct connect between divices and doesn't depend on the local wifi it works much better than Google ChromeCast.
I just wish I could get it to work again with my Samsung devices.

root is unaffected. However you cannot have custom recovery

Flashed the stock recovery and miracast is working again. So this means we can't load up TWRP?
That is correct. If we can get support for mobile odin then it might be possible to quick swap between the two on the go. As it is I would reccomend making a backup in twrp then reflashing stock recovery. Then if you need to restore just plug up to odin and flash twrp again. They did mention that whatever it was should be fixable to work with twrp. So if they get a fix it should be easy to port over to ours.

This is great news. I held off of rooting because I use screen mirroring every week. Now I have some question, what will happen to my installed apps if I root now? Will i have to re install all of my apps?

Thx for the fix post. I am going to do it this weekend when i have sometime encase of an unforeseen issues.... But just so i am clear. I am rooted already and when i flash this will anything be lost-such as settings or any of the Xposed modules etc. If so, any suggestions on a backup method...
We had similiar story on Note 10.1 2012 (N80xx).
No AllShare Cast (old name sammy was using for today's Screen Mirroring...) when custom recovery OR KERNEL (there isn't any yet on NP12s but surely - when it arrives - it will fed up all the users of mirroring... kernel OR mirroring...). Well, getting into technical details, coz I think here we'll hava similiar history:
- tablet - to work with Mirroring - had needed a flash counter reset to zero (using Triangle Away - did u try this one out? I borrowed my dongle to a friend so for a while can't test it...). The reason is that sammy's forced the software to require HDCP to every content possible, even my own screen... - and using HDCP was available only with use of Trusted Zone (mysterious tz.bin partition in sammy's devices...). When flash counter was zero, device had an access to tz and all was working. But...
- standard bootloader was very unkind for modders - if detected custom kernel OR custom recovery, it automatically triggered the counter every boot, so there was no way to effectively reset the counter with custom recovery or kernel. There was some ideas of avoiding this limitation like creating shortcuts to scripts that were flashing kernels and recoveries on the fly, etc, but it still required to reset the counter with Triangle Away (which was and still is performed NOT on-the-fly on the stock kernel, but requires flashing chainfire's custom "kernel + something" and rebooting into the custom boot screen with big danger sign and asterisk etc etc - takes time and sounds dangerous...)
- finally someone found out that flashing the oldest bootloader possible (dunno if it wasn't even a ICS one?) is a brilliant fix for this situation - this bootloader didn't have flash counter auto-trigger mechanism when non-stock recovery or kernel. I use it since today in that device - that is why I do worry flashing last-week kitkat leak, which requires new bootloader... anyway...
- ...Note Pros won't have ICS bootloaders, of course, BUT there was another fix floating around for other devices like s3 and note 2 (never been ported to N80xx, tho..) - a modded libWFD.so library in /system/lib to force turning off HDCP once and for all. It started from Android 4.2+, required disassembling the lib and messing with some assembly code at first (!), however, after difficult beginnings, further mods for different systems and roms were possible more easily, by editing similiar hex patterns in similiar way in the library binary content (and it was not extremely tiring as it required ediiting only three bytes IN TOTAL!).
Hope the last solution will be brought to our devices in the nearest future as it solves the problem in an ultimate way (eh... at least until there comes an update with major changes, causing lib not to work...).
This was a pain, until someone figured out that

Sadly our device does not have the wfdengine.lib. None of the kitkat devices appear to. I do know from reading on the 2014 Forum that hdcp was the Culprit. Hopefully work can be done to twrp to allow its use without breaking this feature

Please advise, I will have to convert the recovery.img file to a recovery.tar.md5 file in order to flash using odin, correct?
I am about to buy a Miracast receiver (probably a Netgear PTV3000) but both my Note II and Note Pro 12.2 are rooted.
I run stock Touchwiz ROMs with stock recoveries, so will Miracast work?
This thread has confused me a bit because I thought that even though you have root, as long as you are running a stock ROM and the stock recovery you would be able to use Miracast.
BTW I have seen mentioned elsewhere that with Samsung Allshare Cast you ALSO have to have "Flash Binary" at zero (which at the moment I have on the Note II thanks to Triangle Away but I haven't on the Note Pro since AFAIK I can't run Triangle Away on it nor I will be able to use Triangle Away on my Note II once I update it to 4.3 or KitKat) and that's why I am going with the Netgear or with the Asus dongle.
Anybody can shed some (definitive) light on these issues..? TNX

I have written it two posts above.
As far as I can see at the moment, TA works fine with Note Pro 12.2 (at least on a Qualcomm one...).
EDIT:
Here's libwfds.so for Note Pro 12.2 LTE P905, modified by me (based on XXUANC3 stock firmware, can't guarantee it will work on any other firmware than this one..), it seems to work with custom recovery (repacked, not-yet-fully-working TWRP).
Just put it in /system/vendor/lib and replace previous one (also, make sure permissions are 644, root:root).
http://www28.zippyshare.com/v/17510448/file.html
IT WILL PROBABLY NOT WORK ON EXYNOS DEVICES (P900 etc).

:highfive:
I can confirm that this in fact DOES work...not only only that but it SHOULD be good to go for ANY device with a snapdragon 800 running 4.4.2. I'm actually using it on the LTE variant of the tab pro 8.4 and everything is ok...i tested it for a full 2 hours the other night with TWRP installed & didnt have any problems besides an occassional hiccup when trying to connect. For anybody reading this...i'm not sure if the order is important but i replaced the above file BEFORE i flashed the custom recovery although that shouldnt matter. Also...u MAY need to wipe both caches after u install

Btw I replaced it after flashing TWRP, so it should work both ways.
Feel free to post it in the other devices' forums if you find it helpful.

Really thanks for being so helpful man, but there lies the problem, I can't get a Miracast setup and be at the constant risk that an update breaks it..
