The major difference is that you have the ROM in zip file and the ROM is deodexed, zipaligned and the /system/app folder has been moved to /data/app and it supports init.d script support.
Majority of the difference is behind the User Interface. In terms of user interface they both look alike.
Have you restored your phone to Factory settings considering your problem?

Flashed your ROM, everything working fine with great speed and also the battery life got improved dramatically. Very nice work.
Yes, I restored to the factory settings but no success, looks like hardware fault. Tried wifix manager app from play store but still the wifi and mobile data disconnect while screen turns off.

Thanks for your positive feedback
Have you tried this?
Goto System Settings > Under Wireless and Networks Tap WLAN > press menu key and tap advanced > Tap Keep WLAN on during sleep and select always.
Now your phone won't disconnect, if this is the case.

Thank you for your suggestion. This is the first thing I have done, but wifi and mobile data sleeps automatically. I have tried stock roms from different devices like saadusmani's ROM and your ROM but nothing improved in wifi and mobile data connection. I should claim warranty.
But before that I need to unroot the phone and change the stock splash screen (screen before boot animation). Do you know how to change the splash screen to stock Qmobile screen?

Restore to stock firmware by downloading it from www.ehtisham.com or www.labandroid.com

Google is removing user facilities from android one by one

Android 4.1.2 - Not much restriction
Android 4.3 - Access to the flight mode by third party profile switching apps (like profile scheduler +) was blocked.
Android 4.4 onwards - Access to the memory card by third party apps (like app backup and restore, bookmarksb pro, x-plore, es file explorer etc) was also blocked
(I have witnessed the above in Samsung Note 2 N7100)
Then in android 6.0 onwards - Access to the bookmarks of stock browser by third party apps (like bookmarksb pro, ability to import the stock browser bookmarks from android firefox etc) was also blocked.
My problem :
1) I am using Samsung Note 4 SM-910G running unrooted android 6.0.1. I am facing the restriction of android 6.0 as mentioned above. Is there any way to break this limitation (like all the file browsing apps today broke the SD card access restriction in android 4.4 for unrooted phones itself)?.
2) I am using profile scheduler +. I have set profile 1 (full silent without vibrations) and profile 2 (normal ringing profile without vibration).
I have profile 1 to be activated at night and profile 2 at the morning on daily basis under 1 rule. The problem is my phone vibrates for 2 seconds only when switching from profile 2 to profile 1. But the vibration settings are disabled in both the profiles. Does anyone know the reason?.

sdcard was only blocked on 4.4.
on later versions of android it's no longer blocked, but apps need to request permission from the user the first time they try to access the sdcard.

For full sd access in MM...
Working on TW and AOSP...Install apps first then flash..

Ok. But I don't want to flash and brick my 910G phone as my LG G3 D855 got IMEI null just for choosing restore upgrade errors in LG mobile support tool.

Hi Guys!,

i bricked it once while figuring this out so thought id save anyone else who has this phone the trouble! (this should work with 4GB + 64GB model also)
all this info is from the Nubia forum which is in Chinese, with the help of some mates we were able to create an account on their and save the files, it was not easy as to create an account you need a Chinese mobile number for verification purposes so don't bother trying to create an account,
all credit goes to the following forum and creators. - http://bbs.nubia.cn/thread-690478-1-1.html
i will monitor it for any updates/custom roms/kernels/mods and provide them here as there is no English support for our device!

Google Account Manager
Google Backup Transport
GoogleServicesFramework
Google Play Store
Google play services
then restart device and you should have the ability to add a google account and download apps from the play store,

XNubiaUI Mod v1.0.3
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_5JyLpmnOLKMGF5UkdPSUk1Sms/view?usp=drivesdk
NUBIA RECOVERY TOOL
so my understanding is this tool is for restoring stock firmware on devices, unfortunately the Z11 is not on the list so it will not automatically download it for you so you will need to manually obtain the stock firmware and can either then flash through this tool or just flash it in stock recovery on the device
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B2...EZBNGF3U1VIQWs - Nubia Recovery Tool
STOCK ROMS
These are flashable via recovery tool above or in settings > system update > local update. OR via stock recovery OR TWRP
NOTE: PLEASE UNROOT BEFORE UPDATING,
These are also FULL STOCK ROMS, so you can wipe system + data and reflash any of these to go back to clean stock
There are sourced directly from nubia website and are unmodified in anyway by myself

Smart Select Edge from S8?

hi guys i wonder if anyone has or know a way to install the smart select edge panel from S8 to the S7 edge?

I've read somewhere on xda that you'll also need to download the new AOD along with smart select apk, but personally I didn't have that issue nor do I understand why one would need the other to work...
But I downloaded the apk from apkmirrior, installed, then swiped open the edge panel tab, click the tiny settings gear once panel is open so you can enable/disable /download other edge tabs, and enabled smart select for one of your edge tabs. Viola
Sorry i tried to upload screenshots but xda network error...

I'm actually starting to run into the same issue with package conflict on certain apps trying to install from unknown sources.. I know that the options others have tried don't work.. As far as smart select goes, have you tried downloading the apk from XDA? Some are having success that way..
https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7...galaxy-s7-edge-sm-g935f-t3584881/post71741190
Also there are many people having success with installing apks that run into package conflict, and it has to do with putting a shortcut of the apk on homescreen, turning off all security sign in features for lock screen so you can access your apk shortcut as fast as possible.. Then reboot your phone and as soon as you can, try to install the shortcut.. Also make sure to enable installation from unknown sources before reboot.
I haven't been able to get that to work for my conflicts, but lots of people have..
EDIT: I recently did an update from Verizon for the April security patch and whatever the bloatware they added and that's when I started running into conflicting packages

Without doing a factory reset, I honestly have no clue. There are so many mixed reports that say worked for their package conflicts, but the only way that continually is working is doing a backup and factory reset, then download and install the previous package conflicticted apks before going back through and backing up old apps/data.
I know it's a pain to do all that, and that's why I haven't gone through with doing a factory reset yet but I'm getting to that point if someone doesn't find out a solution soon..

I just tried to get smart select working .
So I installed the smart select apk, it installed successfully without any errors and it did show up as one of the default panel just like it should.
But when trying to use any of the smart select features on the panel my phone freezes for about 20 seconds.
The only option in smart select that works for me is "pin to top".
I am using a S7 edge rom, not a ported s8 rom.
Any suggestions?

Have you downloaded the latest optical Reader app from Samsung? I just came across this article that states you need the optical reader to make it work properly?
https://www.sammobile.com/2017/05/0...s-and-gifs-using-the-smart-select-edge-panel/

I tried all methods. None of them works

I'm our of options myself, I'm also in a position where I'm getting package conflicts but thankfully have been able to get some before I did my last update from Verizon, which is when I started getting package conflicts.. I wish you luck though and hopefully we can come up with something

Just wanted to quickly say that the apk from this link (found above):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7...e-sm-g935f-t3584881/post71741190#post71741190
works.
Using a non-rooted tmo S7E
Rectangle and Circle screenshot can be fixed by installing S8's AOD

I get conflicts with that apk too. But i appreciate your sharing.
Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

I received the same conflict. But I tried the following: create a new folder in root system/app , rename the new folder 'SmartClipEdgeService'. Then download the apk from http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsung-electronics-co-ltd/smart-select-2/smart-select-2-1-0-42-release/smart-select-1-0-42-android-apk-download/ , rename it 'SmartClipEdgeService.apk' and put it in the folder. Restart the device and you should be able to select it in the edge panel.
Unfortunately, I can't use the rectangle or oval either, the app just crashes when I try. If anyone knows how to fix this, it would be much appreciated!
I'm on G935F btw.
---------- Post added at 05:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:26 PM ----------
Update: Could get the rectangle and oval to work by downloading S8's AOD apk and replacing it in the root system/priv-app/AODService_v20 folder (also renaming the apk as 'AODService_v20.apk') BUT I lose AOD and I keep getting an error message saying AOD keeps stopping when I restart the phone as well as when I try to use the smart select features. The smart select hangs for abit but will work eventually.

Working on my end without freezing.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/themes/root-s8-apk-collection-bypass-package-t3617590

I have figured out a way to get the Smart Select Edge fully functional on the S7 Edge after some trial and error. You will need root. (I don't know if all the steps are necessary but that's just what I did.)
1. Create a new folder in root system/app , rename the new folder 'SmartClipEdgeService'. Then download the apk here , rename it 'SmartClipEdgeService.apk' and put it in the folder.
2. Download S8's AOD apk here and replace it in the root system/priv-app/AODService_v20 folder (also renaming the apk 'AODService_v20.apk'). Backup the original apk just in case,
3. Set the AOD apk permission to 0755 (rwx-rx-rx), folder permission should be the same.
4. Clear AOD cache and data (if you can't find it in applications, use titanium backup to 'open system details' and clear data, also use it to 'clear cache'.
5. Restart and it should work! You will have both AOD and the smart select edge fully working, just go to settings on the edge panel and select 'smart select' as one of your panels.
When the new AOD is installed it will have a 'learn how to use aod' notification on the AOD screen that you might not be able to get rid off. Just tap next very close to the bottom of you screen if it doesn't register.

8) OBTAIN GOOGLE MOBILE SERVICES (GMS) CERTIFICATION
Google now restricts Google Play and Google apps access to certificated devices. Since you have a custom ROM, you are banned.
We now need to subscribe for the Google Play Certification.
Download Device ID (by Evozi) app from Play Store.
Launch app.
Tap on the Google Service Framework (GSF) line, then tap on the COPY button.
In your Android webbrowser, go to: https://www.google.com/android/uncertified/
Connect to Google using your Google/Android account.
In the input field of the page, paste the 16 digits code.
Click on the Save button, a success message confirms your device is Certified.
Then go to Settings > Apps > Google Play Store > Storage > Clear storage
Do I need to re-certify it ?
"Your device’s GSF ID is reset every time your device is factory reset (or when you wipe the GSF app itself) since it is stored in your data partition, so you must re-register your GSF ID every time you perform either of these actions."

Force Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 to restart
Hold Power + Volume down for 10-20 seconds

I have just followed this to update my T719 tablet. All seems to work other than the camera, when you try to open the camera app it freezes before eventually saying 'unable to connect to camera', then closes. Have tried another camera app but still get the same issue. Is this a known error?
Thanks

Hi @smarty79 , yes camera doesn't work.
I will be more precise about it.
Thx for reporting

Hi,

Do you mean that RIL does not work either (no 4G)?
Are you working on a fix for the camera and mobile network?

Hi, you have to be careful and download ROM according to your model.
EDIT: yes Data and camera are not working.
Sadly you won't find a ROM with these. Or tell me which one.
You may try this Oreo for camera: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-resurrection-remix-os-6-2-x-discont.3865882/

I haven't downloaded any custom ROM yet since I need the Radio Interface Layer funcionality as well as the camera.
I have the T819 (LTE variant) but I would like to have a newer Android version than 7 because some apps are not supported anymore.

LineageOS 16 has RIL working, at least on the T719.

succefully installed. Thnak you !

Tutorial updated for Netflix and Disney+

sorry for this but i failed and i need help
i did every thing until wipe but afterwards my PC unable to see device folders so i can load the files
side note: didn't backup also so stuck on recovery screen
help please!!!

Thanks for this, works exactly as stated...
However I misread it, "### Camera doesn't work, 3G/Data network doesn't work" - I thought oh I don't care about 3G, I'm always connected to LTE without my brain acknowledging that it's all cellular connectivity not just 3G. DOH.

Is there anything available for SM-T817V? Looking desperate help to update Android 10.
Thanks

any particular build? there are multiple versions Thanks

When I boot, I end up back in the TWRP main menu. I've tried:
"Reboot System and on Install TWRP App? menu, tap on button Do Not Install" after:
"Then tap on Install > choose los*.zip,
then Add more zips and select opengapps*.zip,"
(advice given in another forum) but it makes no difference: LineageOS animation continued for several minutes, then I get into RECOVERY REBOOT and back to TWRP menu.

Hi @Tetenterre,
first boot leads to bootloop.
Flash > boot > force reboot and wait

Thanks for your reply, djibe89 - when I do that (ie Power & Volume down), I end up back in TWRP.

Installed successfully by following your guide to a T (although I used the latest TWRP). I know support for this old girl has probably reached it's limit, but it was tough to find the ROM file (most links in the thread are dead - had to use one from archive.org)
Thanks a lot for putting this together!

Hi, sorry for that.
Thanks for telling me. It's hard to keep up with all the models I support.
I'll try to fetch all files and backup these on Androidfilehost.
Thx for archive.org, didn't know it.
