I currently have a Galaxy Note 4 and have been having some ridiculous issues with the device in terms of functionality. Any custom ROM has broken some combination of bluetooth, safetynet, mms, mobile data, and/or the camera. Stock ROMs have literally no hotspot option in the ROM, no matter which I flash. I'm getting tired of trying to play patchwork, so I want to jump ship.
I am interested in the V20, but can't find clear answers on what I'm looking for, so I figured I'd ask here.
For the LG V20 Sprint Variant [LS997] is there:
-A hotspot mod for unlimited tethering through mobile data for a stock ROM?
OR
-A custom ROM that is known to have full functionality (SMS/MMS/Bluetooth/Hotspot) all working (and the ROM is designed for/compatible with the Sprint variant)?
Either passing safetynet is a huge bonus, but not required.
Hate to say but this help area sucks

I've got the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" SGH-T779 T-Mobile edition, which I am rather quite enjoying, except there's no means to overclock, or do standard USB charging because the /sys for usb forced charging is not available.
I'm wondering if anyone's working on any kernel mods for this tablet that's compatible with the stock ROM, or if there's even a Stock-based ROM coming for it that'll be compatible with it.
I don't trust going with any of the GT-P#### ROMs because I'd most likely loose cellular service functionality which is why I specifically got the T-Mobile version for cellular support.
Try this ROM .. It is a stock based one

You can use OC kernel from AOKP ROM

Hmm, interesting. this is for the P5100, where-as I have the SGH-T779. The main concern I have with that is international version versus US version, T-Mobile support, LTE support (when it gets to my area).
I do have experience with rooting my devices, ROMing them, even hacking some pieces together to blend my own ROM as it were, but not a whole whole lot in cellular devices like this. This Tab 2 is the first cellular tab I've had, I got it so I didn't have to worry about where I was, I'd generally have internet access so long as I had WiFi or cellular data service.
I will try it after I insure I have good backups ready, and available on my microSD flashing card, if you still think that won't be an issue.
I have a Sprint Galaxy S4 and I've been combing these forums trying to look for a solutions.
I would like to handle three way calls better on my phone. Currently there is no stock option to do this on the Sprint version of the S4 like there is on the ATT and T-mobile versions.
I used to think that this was a limitation of CDMA but it turns out this this feature works perfectly on AOSP based roms that are on Sprint. It works on CM 10.2 PAC and the Google Edition roms. But those roms have other stability issues. Therefore I would like to remain stock.
I am coming to this forum to find out if it's possible to port the in call dialer or mainly the manage conference call feature from the stock ATT S4 rom and port it to Sprint.
Or is it possible to just create a swap button like there is on AOSP roms.
Please help.
You should ask a mod to move this to the sprint s4 forums...

Yes, please move it to where it needs to go, so we can continue the conversation properly.. as i'm also wondering the exact thing that OP has questioned....
To have such an advanced phone, that is not even capable of managing conference calling (merging, splitting, hanging up on specified #'s, etc)that a flip phone, or bar phone could is pathetic.... If I knew that this was a lacking area on the galaxy s4 on sprint, I would have held off purchasing this thing... as it is after all supposed to be a phone, and contain all of the "phone-like" features.. lol.
Please help.
Please forgive me, how do I get this moved to the Sprint S4 forums? I've never had to interact with any of the mods before.
So I live in NYC and signed a contract with Sprint last year only to regret it nearly instantly when I saw how crappy the service is around here. The only thing I love about having my Sprint S3 is the ease of rooting and flashing custom ROMs. Now I know the Note 3 is a brand new device, but it seems like Verizon is the only provider that locks their bootloader (Correct me if I'm wrong here) making it currently impossible to flash any kind of custom ROM on the device.
So I figured I'd come here and ask a few questions before taking the jump and cancelling my contract with Sprint and switching to Verizon.
1. Will the device/bootloader ever be unlocked? I notice the S4 on Verizon has a good amount of ROMs and I'm guessing the bootloader was also locked on that when it was first released.
2. How is service in the NYC area?
3. Anyone know if there's any plans to develop AOSP/CM ROMs for the Note 3? I know some of the features of the Note require TouchWiz, but I just like having the option of choosing a AOSP or TW ROM.
Thanks in advance for anyone who chimes in. Again, sorry for the stupid questions, but I don't want to dive in and then be stuck with a device that I can't update or flash something new when I get bored.

1. Extremely unlikely the bootloader will ever be unlocked. Hashcode is developing/testing safestrap for our device which will allow us to flash tw based roms but more than likely no kernels. In the future software updates may be tied to bootloader updates which could render root and or safestrap useless. If flashing different roms is a priority buy the dev edition when it comes back in stock.
2. Verizons coverage is the best hands down. I live in S Jersey and recently switched from Sprint myself. It's a night and day difference.
3. From what i understand safestrap only allows tw based roms to be flashed. If aosp is important, again buy the dev edition.
Verizons coverage in ny is fine. And to be honest I dont think the bootloader may ever be unlocked or atleast anytime soon

Definitely sad to hear that
Bought a S7 (935F) to replace my failing Nexus 6 (great phone, great ROMs and development, but not so great camera)
It looks like as far as volume the Superman gets a lot of attention ..... And then I see a loyal following for a few others.
Could any of you (mainly AT&T users, since that sometime effects these international phone ROMs) that have a few minutes could you please share which ROM you use and very briefly why. The setup is a bit complicated especially with N and new CSC issues ( VoLTE and I wish WiFi calling)
Thanks
I have a 935F running on Straight Talk ATT, using Superman or King of Nougat, custom kernel is Apollo with max CPU and GPU overclocking. Completely stable.
The reason those two ROMs are my favorites is because they provide all the features I want for free. Other roms may require you to buy a Playstore app to unlock features.
Since my MVNO doesn't support VoLTE, I can't comment on it. As for WiFi calling, I use Google Voice via WiFi or 4g with no issues, though I suspect you're wanting a more carrier-specific answer that I can't provide because of the MVNO thing.
As for CSC, just use the Nougat default of Great Britain and you should be OK (again, VoLTE and WiFi calling may require carrier-specific CSC)

Does super man rom support double tap to wake?

None of the custom roms support double tap to wake.
There are apps at the play store that can do it if you
find a compatible one, there are many you can try.
Read the last update dates before trying one so you
won't be wasting your time on a 2-3 year old app
which is not compatible to newer android versions.
Good luck, have a great day!
Hello,
I'm considering picking up a used Verizon GS7 (or GS7 Edge) until the Pixel 2 comes out. I absolutely need root (I use WiFi Hotspot Tethering, Xposed, AdAway, Titanium Backup, and several other root-required apps heavily.)
I have not been keeping up with the Verizon Galaxy S7 / S7 Edge rooting threads recently, but I just looked through the OP in this thread --- rooting, flashing the optimizations / fixes, and flashing Xposed all look quite simple compared to some of the other phones I've experienced.
Questions:
1) Is the method in the thread linked (above) still the process to root and optimize the Verizon variant, or are there preferable ways that will get the phone working better?
2) How much does the performance and battery life to stock after rooting, flashing the fixes and Xposed? (Please try to be as objective as possible - I know owning a you naturally are inclined to oversell it, but I need to know how much my performance and battery life will suffer from rooting, etc, because I use my phone almost constantly.
3) Besides Samsung Pay / Android Pay, does rooting break or negatively affect anything material? (Bluetooth, wifi, radios, sms, mms, calling/dialer, camera, sensors, software functionality, fast charge, fingerprint reader, or anything else?)
I figured you guys are probably the most knowledgeable about this subject, so I wanted to ask as many questions as I could before picking up a used Verizon S7 / S7 Edge.
Thanks!
I just bought an S7 for my mom, but she needs tethering also, so I am still reading and trying to figure out if I made a mistake buying it. So I feel ya man. Like to know also.

IMHO, performance and battery life on the S7 with root are abysmal. I've been rooting my phones since 09 and I can't believe I actually use stock, unrooted Android on my S7. Root is that bad. The fixes made it slightly better, but it was still awful.
Buy an unlocked version or pass on this phone. I can speak for others but the lag and quirks on this phone after root suck.
The hybrid rom unrooted provides tethering and a clean rom base without a lot of bloat. You are SOL if you're wanting to run xposed and such unless you try to take all the steps from the tips and tricks to make a rooted s7 usable.
