This thread is for those who own the Galaxy Grand from the Philippines.
Mine has been updated to 4.2.2 XTC. So far these are my expwriences:
1. it has better memory management.
2. battery life is about the same as 4.1.2
3. google play now recognizes some games like subway surf as compatible.
Please comment if you are from the Philippines.
Nice one... a dedicated thread...
Same here Grand owner from the PH.
Still on stock.. waiting for the right FW for phone..and unrooted...
Will be rooting soon too...there are so many mods to try
FYI the firmware marked "XTC" on sammobile and samsung-updates.com are Vietnam CSC. I have not tried the other fw. I had to root then used csc chaner app to change to sun csc. It us not reallt of utmost importance but then it is good feeling to have the proper csc.

did you factory reset and wipe cache after updating? You lose data and settings but you start fresh in doing so.
Right there seems to be worst lag in XTC fw. Might get back to SER Russian rom or Gennxt SER. Indian fw also showing lags according to users.
Hi guys, from Davao here. Running the INU firmware, rooted and some apps frozen via Titanium Backup.
Hi kabayans!
I might make available/share for download the "rooted deodexed zipaligned" and cwm flashable XTC 4.2.2 I cooked using kitchen. I am reluctant to do so because I may not be able to support it. I am not a dev.
What do you all think!

stock 4.2 malaysia
I'm currently using the stock malaysian 4.2. Updated using odin without wiping and factory reset. It started out fine for a week. Now, the lag is getting worse. Do someone know of a better region to choose without this lag problem?
Try the latest Russian SER update.

How are your galaxy grand doing guys? My grand has a broken usb port. It can charge but is not recognized by the pc. So i cant update nor root my galaxy grand. Im just waiting for someone to post an update or a root tutorial capable of flashing through stock recovery and not using odin and cwm. In technicalities i would rate myself 9 from 1-10.. so i pretty much know what im doing. And btw for what its worth, using the philippine update is actually ok.. all updates are fluid and good but u need to make sure first that before u update to a new firmware that your device is reset to factory default. And before you install an update, make sure to clear cache and factory reset the device first for effecient and smooth update. How i wish i could update and root my grand.. looks like i need to spend 2k-3k more just to have it fixed. But anyway, if you guys need my help, just reply to this thread.
And for faster and more efficient usage of your sd cards, make sure to use CLASS 10 SD CARDS ONLY.
BNB2 stock rom here. so far no lag issues.
for those of you who are experiencing lag on any stock rom you might wanna try this:
format /sys
format /data /media /sdcard
flash AMF7 4.1
flash BNB2(which ever stock rom you prefer)
I've been using BNB2 for less than a week now. the only issue that i've encountered is the color turning negative. i dont know if it has something to do with the rom or the system apps that i've uninstalled using nobloat app. anyways, it only happened once and the fix is just turning the screen off then on again.

Since the very first week, Grand has this screen issue, for me atleast... The screen's colors become faded... the saturation drops!! and after the BNB2 update... it started becoming negative... God know after next update what will be happening! Switching to Note 2 now

@venom621: Do you have the link for the ROMs you used? I have my grand rooted but still on stock 4.2.2. Very laggy and I would like to try your version :laugh:. Is it still based from a stock ROM that can support dual SIM? Salamat ng marami (Thanks)

i just updated to this I9082XXUBNC1 >> http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9082
stock 4.1 - AMF7 4.1
again no lag issue. you can also try changing launchers. Touchwiz is really laggy on previous stock roms. Although touchwiz is pretty decent on the new rom, I still prefer nova launcher, much faster.
here is a video on the new rom(I9082XXUBNC1). nova launcher vs touchwiz
Video is a litlle bit slower while using screen recorder.

If I flash stock kitkat my Samsung keyboard won't work (force closes over and over).. I've no problems with any custom roms, on sweetrom now with no problem.. It's not a massive issue but it's annoying me! Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to fix it?
P. S- installing SwiftKey etc isn't fixing it..

You may need to do a full wipe when you flash stock, it's possible something has corrupted somewhere along the line.
Yeah I've tried all the usual tricks, re - downloaded stock from several places with no luck.. It's baffling me..

Format all your data in system via CWM - then reinstall your ROM from scratch, it'll fix any coruption issues. ->>> Important >>> Make sure you make/get a PIT file for your device before you change anything in case you need to sort your partitions out for a reflash
I'll give it a try thank_you...
Nope still got the same problem.. Must be some weird conflict with my phone that I can't pin down.. Like I say I'm on a custom rom anyway but it irritates me because I know it's still there...

How bizarre , I'd stick with the custom ROM for now just in case something else gets crazy corrupted - This Kitkat stuff atm is causing havoc all around.
Yeah I think you're right, maybe different batches of phones and buggy kitkat are causing problems for a few of us? It'll all get ironed out in the end hopefully..

I got the same problem. KitKat update failed in the end and had to CF_Root in order to boot up.
Action Memo (with pen) are not working for me as well. It is all linked with Handwiting somehow.
Is your Action Memo broken also ?
The only thing that I didn't do is Wipe Data/Factory Reset in Recovery mode.
Did you try that ?

got the same problem as yours, no idea why though, after the update samsung keyboard and action memo stopped working.
I think I will wipe it tomorrow but it seems it's not working either
I'm checking around and they say that problem probably lies in the application S Pen Keep, there is no data on this one ... I guess as you said it's linked to the handwriting recognition. tried to do that using Snote transform into text as well and it immediately stopped working as well..
For time being I'm using different keyboard and I like it better than stock one. I really don't want to wipe a phone. Takes so much time to install everything back.

Did u guys intentionally or unintentionally uninstalled Samsung apps? From what I've understand, certain Samsung apps needs to be either freeze thru TB or disable it...
Haven't touched it. I've upgraded to KitKat without updating a bootloader and it happened.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
same here, got the OTA update, after that it simply stopped working.. I don't need the keyboard .. I need the action memo more
Mine still isn't working, I'm on omega rom now so it doesn't affect me, but it still does it if I flash stock... Strange..
try to download another stock rom? maybe that will fix it.. if it did .. let us know... try to download the newest one that came up in Poland..
mine got fixed by formatting and wiping, re-download another stock rom I guess yours has some form of data missing ..
@Colide , just go back to factory settings , will resolve the issue, do it from the recovery of course.
I kinda hate it to wipe data. Lot of apps to reinstall. Thanks for a tip. ?

My daughter's G2 (AT&T) is not working right after OTA to Lollipop. The typical issue is battery drain, next is the Google calendar sync and Contact sync issue and then the apps startup lagging. She did try factory reset, but that did not fix any issues at all.
Is there any way to revert back to KitKat or work around to all these issues ? She is very frustrated for the update.
Thanks,
Ching-Ho Cheng
Flash back to Kit-Kat

Is there no other solution aside from flashing back to Kitkat? I'm also getting the same issue after upgrading to Lollipop... already did a reset twice and it only works for 1-2 weeks till I get the same issue again

Well, you could try to see or there might be a newer lollipop version available for the g2 else you could always try some custom roms or only flash dorimanx kernel as lollipop went much better when I flashed that kernel. but I suggest to disable root on your daughters phone.
If these 3 things don't solve it well, then she has to go back to kitkat.

Hi, i really have big problem.
my phone has random reboots after trying to turn the screen on when its locked.
I can use the lockscreen around 30 times until i get a reboot. The screen doesnt even turn on. The phone vibrates and reboots.
On Lollipop everything worked fine,no random reboots or else.
I've got the newest BL and modem,otherwise i wouldnt have the chance to use the rom correctly.
I'm currently using Alexandrs rom , v3.2.
Can anyone help me?
Greets
Does this also happens on stock rom?

For me it works great with the same rom.
I also tried the ported version of MM on my G900F (G900M Marshmallow) and had the same problems.
Currently i am using alexandrs rom v3.2. I didnt try another MM rom.
Isnt there anyone who could help me? :'(

Hi,
I also have the problem. There is one thing that looks like related: It only happens if you have the fingerprint reader enabled for unlocking. Is this the same for others?
I also tried latest CPEA ROM by alexandr -> no change. I did not update TWRP because this should be unrelated to lockscreen.

Do you have fingerprint unlocking enabled? For me it only happens when it is enabled (e.g., when I am not at home). At home my phone unlocks automatically and I can unlock it as often as I want. When I need to use the fingerprint reader it reboots every 10 to 30 times.
I had random reboots on my device after updating from kitkat to marshmallow (stock, no root, over ota)
I didn't wipe after updating (I would suggest to wipe as the first step)
I came back to kitkat because I didn't like the new marshmallow ui (especially the white settings menu!) and because of the reboots. however after reverting to kk I don't have any reboots anymore. so i would suggest just to wipe everything and if it doesn't work go back to kitkat

For me stock ROM has the same problem! This is why I went back to Alexndr ROM.
I just checked CPF3 release today. I was able to make it reboot on lockscreen again, but only when fingerprint reader is enabled. Does never happen without!

Stock firmware on unbranded fone is no option for me, because it does not have enabled VOLTE in Germany. The one with right CSC is still on Android 5.
I just tested stock ROM for a day, but gave up after doing a loop of "lock - unlock - fingerprint - lock- unlock - fingerprint - ...". Very easy to reproduce, you just need to do it about 20 times. So it has nothing to do with Alexndr.
The firmware version you mentioned is the same kernel and changelist as the recent Alexndr one.
Interestingly the reboots were slightly different with CPF3: Instead of just rebooting with only the button lights on but dark screen, in CPF3 it woke up partially, but screen stayed black, button lights on. But it did not reboot. To make it reboot you had to try to wake it up again. Before that it was rebooting after 2 seconds automatically.
All the roms whose developers dont have a thread on XDA. Mention them here.

That BRX Nougat s8+ ROM is excellent, anyone know will there be a new version that incorporates Magisk v13.*?

Two ways :
1 flash firmware via odin
2 use smart switch
Always have recovery and nandroid backup before playing with ROOT.

how is that not that good battery?
how long for the screen on time ?
does it better that the original nougat rom?
i also tested RR not bad only problem i experienced is SimTool Kit doesn't send requests to service provider which is a big deal for me
I dont know if its just my experience, but in the new RR builds does fingerprint work more reliably than in stock
Awesome!
First working 100% on 925i .
Thank you so much.
Are either of these roms compatible with pf4 firmware? Would flash pg3 but all the downloads are throttled. 925p
I'm currently using BRX S8+ with NOGK33 RC6 kernel and works fine. i'm going to make it settle for few cycles to see if it is good for a daily driver..

There is no option to use navbar in the rom. when i use the home button, my phone gets black with a flash, wich one will come back several times while the phone still keeps black but working.

No need to report this. After flashing the zip file for the rom, flash the kernel found in the same folder in MegaUpload. You can use TWRP. When at it, select at the bottom "flash image" so you can see the kernel image then flash it into boot. That will fix the problems of the buttons not working and the screen not turning on after being gone to sleep. However, the backlight for the recent and back buttons is till not working.
