build # Acer_A500_3.019.04_com_EGN1
basedband version unknown
i really appreciate your help guys .
You really should have searched the forum... Yes, it is possible, of course (though it might be tricky to undo due to changes in Acer's bootloader). Better still: install an up-to-date rooted stock ROM and save yourself the hassle, as surprisingly many apps need root to work anyway (like Juniper VPN, which is used in a lot of corporate and university networks & Titanium Backup, which might just save your bacon if you screw up)...
You'll figure out the rest if you do due diligence searching this forum & the web (and you'd probably have found the information above if you already had done so before).
Dear All,
Im a brand new user. Can somebody help me out...I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 wiffi...
I managed to rooted my device successfully ..now I’m looking for a stable android 4.XX with the capability to charge the tablet when connect on pc or laptop via usb. It it possible to install android 4.XX without losing all my installed apps?
I t would be even great with a good instruction how to install it on the tablet.
Can somebody guide me in the right direction..
King regards,
Gevonden
You should really do some searching - the search function will be your best friend. Assuming you are rooted and have a custom recovery installed, I would recommend installing AOKP from this thread and giving it a try.
Again, I would do some searching and READ A LOT. Not everyone is kind when it comes to random posts spamming up the forums.
:laugh:
Well aokp it's a really good rom but you should take into account the fack that the camera it's not working on any ics rom at the moment.
As for your question about the apps i find out that the best way it's to make a cwm back up and then using titanium back up pro (you have to spare some bucks) restore the apps + data that i want from the back up. Also you can make the back up using the free version before flashing the new rom.
Cheers!
Hey there, I've recently bought a Nexus 7 with the latest os already installed on it, which has made it run slower with every passing day.
I did a bit of googling and found that a lot of people had issues with their Nexus 7s after they upgraded to the latest os.
So now I'm wanting to downgrade to the previous os and I read in an article on Androidcentral that said getting a custom rom would be the best way to go to (I'm guessing) either get a previous os or get a streamlined version of the one I already have.
So I need help finding the best rom for my purposes, I'm very new to this sort of thing, in terms of roms,flashing and downgrading os and such so any help would be greatly appreciated, as I'd love to be able to use this tablet St something other than the speed of smell lol.
@EddieHades welcome to the community. First of all it's always the best method using a custom ROM, but make sure you have unlocked bootloader. If you don't have unlock bootloader then you've to do it first, make sure you've backed up all your data. Second choice if you want to stick with stock rom. Then just go to this link and download your preffered stock ROM as per your device, make sure you've downloaded proper images. Then download Nexus Root Toolkit and flash that image and you're good to go.
Hello peoples!
First, allow me to kick myself for buying a Chinese phone. OUCH. There, moving on.
I have the Note 4 model SM-N9108V, Android v5.1.1, and it's been a complete nightmare to deal with it. (IT DOES NOT HAVE GOOGLE PLAY!) It seems this is the least common model out there on the internet. I have been able to find guides for all versions of the Note4, but for my version is very difficult.
After some brick scares, I was finally able to root my phone, install ClockworkMod Recovery and Open GApps. While it's "usable" now, some things still don't work. For example, The automatic Google Sync just does not work for some reason. I have to go on Settings and automatically click on everything to sync (calendar, contacts, etc).
So, I'm guessing my only option is to flash a custom ROM. But I can't find ROMs specifically for this device....
What are my options here? Can I install CyanogenMod made for the international version? Is there a Android 5/6 Stock ROM out there in the wild that I'm not aware of?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
TL ; DR Which custom ROMs are there for the SM-N9108V? Is there a Android 5/6 Stock ROM available? Can I install the CyanogenMod for another Note4 version?

Hello.
Allow me also to kick myself since i bought also this stupid version of Note 4. And imagine i exchange it with a S5. What a deal!
Anyway, there is a very nice MIUI ROM (xiaomi style) for this phone, see my post here where i collected all the posts explaining how to do it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66904680&postcount=2
Also you can root it and install also google play and everything is working fine.
Except the 3G and 4G! in my case they are not working well, i have drop calls, no data connection etc..
Can you tell me, do you operate the phone outside China? is it working ok on 3G?

Chinese galaxy note 4 gapps that work!!
Hi. It's been.a while since I've seen this post, looking for a solution for this phone. I finally got it working properly with all the Google apps.
After installing TWERP, I have tried many different gapps packages but always had the same result. Google apps crashing over and over again. I have finally found the right one and made my phone fully functional.
baNkS’s Dynamic*Gapps for Marshmallow*(279 MB)
This being my first ever post on this forum, I am bot allowed to post any outside links. But you should be able to Google it.
In the description, it says that the built-in script detects the chipset and installs the correct set.
Upon installation and restart, the Google services still crashed every couple of seconds but I was able to sign into my Google account. And, after an update, everything was fine.
I hope you find this useful, since it's an old post
Hey guys,
I have a LG d802 phone which a relative asked me to update (i.e install a custom ROM) because his version of Android, 4.4.2 is having its support dropped for different, important applications he uses and he would need to throw this perfectly healthy phone away otherwise.
I am no expert at Android rooting, but I know the basic idea anyway. However, when I look up this device on TWRP.me (as well as their official app), it gives no results. I find it strange that the international variant of this phone would be unsupported; especially since I have seen threards on XDA as well as YouTube videos posted about running TWRP on this device. I am reluctant to try flashing files from random Dropbox (or similar) links however, especially if they are a few years old.
Could someone please provide an explanation how I go about to flash TWRP on this device, and if there is any special rules regarding installing a custom ROM (in my case, ResurrectionRemix) and GApps?
Also, I understood I need something called "loki", what is this and how do I use it?
Running Android 4.4.2, everything in stock except I enabled USB debugging.
Thanks a lot for any assistance!
