Best Note 5 port?

I see the Kyubi rom, de bloated Kyubi, light debloated Kyubi and others.
Which Note 5 ported Rom is the best right now? Most stable, less bugs etc. I see the Kyubi roms has bugs with the screen off memo app.
I also happen to like the Samsung apps and touchwiz so i would like to keep those too. Please like me to which one you think is best at the moment. My goal is to have a Note 5 experience that is as close to the original as possible. No custom skins features etc...
Thanks!

It's what i saw in the thread from people who installed the rom. I guess it doesn't affect everyone?

The rom is anazing, has the best of note 4 and note 5 so has more
stability and performance.
Saludos ?

Clearly normal, the kyubi V6, but if you want thrilled by customizing the kyubi Note5 V1 has the same stability and performance based stock

I dont know if it is available for Snapdragon verison.
I m using exynos

I´m using SIXPERIENCE Rom v2 and in my N910U and is AWESOME!!

Currently dn5 is only available for the N910C exynos variant. Best so far for the N910F is kyubi rom n5 v1. Bear in mind it is the first release so there may be a few small things to iron out with some updates but I've been running it and testing it all day and so far the only things I have found are very minor. It is smooth, has superb battery life and is a good solid rom. I do have the blue bars on the sides of the screen off memo however that doesn't bother me too much. It works as it should so why complain. Echoe rom is another option however I gave up using it after a day as there were too many bugs. Kyubi n5 v1 is the best I have found so far

I have n910w8. Looks like there is no rom compatible with this version. It's a Rogers phone and rogers hasn't updated past 5.0.1 and never will as per their page. All other Canadian carriers are on 5.1.1. I don't understand why samsung phone require 5.1.1 already installed to use a 5.1.1 rom... i thought the whole point of custom roms was to install version and updates outside the normal schedule. On my HTC One i was able to install the latest version of android even tho my carrier didnt have it yet.. why are samsung phones any different?
I looked everywhere online and cant find modem or bootloaders for 5.1.1 other than 910f which obviously failed to install on my devices. Im so bumed right now, i even voided my warranty by rooting just to find out my phone cant install any roms at all.

Flash with odin.

Been using kyubi since note 5 rom was uploaded and I have not found any bugs what so ever. No fc's. It's smooth and fast and very stable.
I see many moaning about many different problems but I can assure you there issues are on there side and not the rom.

I saw that already. My phone is N910w8 and it looks like the other carriers in Canada are also N910W8. That link you sent me is for Bell, you think it's safe to install on mine even tho its from a different carrier? I've also read that the N910T is the same phone too and has the exact same hardware version.

As long as it's the same phone, it should be safe to flash.

Manual Camera
in these roms, the note 5 camera allow to use it with pro features?
i want to use manual control with this camera
i know that stock camera apk haven't speed shutter, but with other app as "manual camera" or "Camera FV-5", it's possible to use all control (on samsung s6, s6 edge and i think note 5).
Thanks!

Yes it is safe to flash. All Canadian Note 4's are N910W8 and exactly the same except for carriers firmware is just a matter of the bloatware they individually pre-install, otherwise everything else is the same. I have a Rogers Note 4 now running the Bell 5.1.1 firmware and it works just fine. You can also change your phones CSC code to any of the other Canadian carriers no matter which firmware you have meaning they are all the same except for the bloatware.

I am also curious if the camera app has been ported. I could care less about the other stuff.
I actually going back to the note 4. I have a S6 now and can't stand the battery life. With the note 4 before I would get easy 4.5 hours screen on time and now with the s6 I get only 2.5 and that sucks.
But the camera app is much better.

how does bootloader and root work on samsung devices?

Hello, so i preordered a note 7 two months ago, and you clearly know what that ended up with. so they are offering me to get the S7edge instead (and i will get VR glasses for free) so i am planning on accepting the offer. So the S7E will be G935FZKANEE.
So i dont understand the samsung bootloader stuff, i come from sony phones and there its just simple, you unlock the bootloader with a code and then get on the custom roms and whatever u want. Soo can someone explain me how all this knox and samsung bootloaders work? I will ofcourse get a custom rom for the phone so is it much different than with sony? And do the roms come with root? (havent figured that out yet) So thank you all and i will be waiting for answers.

You probably used "Flashtool" with your Xperia? There's a similar tool for Samsung phones called "Odin" that let you flash official Samsung firmwares and stuff like that, and is also used to flash TWRP and to update your baseband / modem drivers for example

Looks like that
If I'm not mistaken, the S7 edge variant you're getting comes with the Exynos 8890 SoC instead of the Snapdragon 820 SoC.
That's good news for you because:
1) You're getting the better S7 edge version, that offers the best battery life (and is slightly faster)
2) It's very easy to install TWRP on the Exynos variant of the S7: the bootloader isn't locked
TWRP installation guide for Exynos S7/S7 edge: http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/development/recovery-official-twrp-hero2lte-3-0-0-0-t3334084
And yes, most ROMS you'll find here on XDA are pre-rooted, so no need to flash SuperSu or stuff like that. It's already installed and working.

To answer your question about KNOX: There's what we could call an "e-fuse" in Galaxy phones. If I'm not mistaken, as soon as you modify your boot partition (when you install TWRP for example), that "e-fuse" is triggered (state 0x1) and that indicates your phone isn't running on the official Samsung software anymore.
Basically, you lose some KNOX features (Secure Folder for example), and the ability to use "Samsung Pay" (Android Pay isn't affected). At the moment, there's no solution to "un-trip" (Sorry I don't know if that work exists in English, that's not my primary language) that e-fuse (state 0x0) to regain the ability to use KNOX features + Samsung Pay, but it could happen in a near future (or never!)
Once it's done, your phone will work like it did before though (except for the KNOX stuff), and you'll also be able to restore the stock Samsung firmware if you need to. I don't know if the fact that the "e-fuse" was triggered can cause issues with the warranty, but I've seen reports in the past from XDA members saying that Samsung didn't even bother and honored the warranty anyway. In many coutries, it's perfectly legal to unlock/modify your phone, so Samsung (or any other manufacturer) can't deny you to fix/replace the phone even if its software was modified.

thank you very much for this informative text. Yes i know about the exynos being better and getting more developent. by the way i did not use flashtool on my xperia devices, i first flashed twrp through adb and fastboot and then i flashed the roms with twrp. So can i still use gear vr's if i custom rom? because on xperias, if you unlocked bootloader you lost all cool features like ps controller support and stuff. And what else do i lose with the knox? I dont really care about secure folder and i would never use samsung pay either.

I don't know for the Note 7, I never owned that phone, but I've used it a lot with my S7 edge (Exynos, like yours) to restore the default firmware, flash different modem drivers, etc. without any issue.
In fact, you'll probably only use Odin once, to install TWRP. Once TWRP is installed, unless you have to update your baseband / modem drivers or restore the stock Samsung firmware, you probably won't touch it again (or very rarely)

Warranty. If anything happens to the phone, whether it's related to root or custom ROMs, or just a hardware fault, you won't be covered.

Really depends on the country. Here in the Netherlands they will fix your phone 1 time. After that you're on your own.

G930U Firmware

Ok so I have been seeing a bunch of stuff about the G930U firmware and I am trying to understand what the benefits of this firmware is. Also does everything work on this firmware, like volte, WiFi calling, HD calling video chat all the good stuff that the stock Verizon firmware has. Anyone who is on this firmware or has tried this please help me out here and one last thing is the Android Nougat beta test available for the 930U firmware
Thanks for the help in advance
Tony

Anybody have any information on this,,, please help out
Thanks

No carrier bloat ware. I'm on sprint, but you will lose any carrier specific apps. For example, our sprint app and sprint visual voice-mail do not work
Sent from my SM-G930U using XDA-Developers mobile app

That's not the only difference, there are subtle changes throughout the UI that I've noticed. I'm loving it so far.

Is there anyway to get any carrier apps to work like use My Verizon to pay my bill and also use WiFi calling and video chat do these things work or can they be made to work anyway

To my knowledge you can get those features, but you would need to root and edit the CSC file. I read that it worked for other people, but I have not tried it.

i have a g930v rooted with xposed, i just got all the firmwaRE FILES AP, CSC, BL etc.for g930U and flashed my phone and viola. oh i also used the vzw pit file, important part i presume. no problems so far. running fast, not heating up like it was. ill post if any problems arise. but so far so good.

His question is that, are you getting all the Verizon features with the U firmware. I know that you don't get them, as I have the G930U phone and they don't work.

Yes because I have a vzw sim, I still can use vzw features.

They mean like wifi calling, advanced calling my Verizon apps etc.

Wifi calling, my vzw, and all security and cloud features work.

That is still not true! I have the Verizon sim (you cannot have anything else!) and on my G930U those features don't exist.

Do I have to root my G930V device to put on G930U or can I just ODIN the G930U firmware onto the V firmware?

No root needed. The U firmware just needs to be the same bootloader or newer.

I recently flashed the G930U firmware and I am very happy with it. No carrier bloat. The battery life is much better and it does not get as hot.
The G930U firmware, unrooted, does have a setting to enable volte calling, but if it's working it's not quite as clear as the HD calling on VZW firmware.
The G93OU firmware, unrooted, does NOT support WiFi calling, Visual Voicemail, or HD video calling.
You can download My Verizon from Google Play and it will work just fine for data measurement/billing/support/whatever on the G930U.
I do not believe Nougat is available for the G930U firmware yet.
You do not need to root in order to flash G930U. You flash it via Odin.
From what I understand, you can root your phone after flashing the G930U using the same method as you would on the VZW firmware. If you root on G930U firmware you'll still end up with the same cruddy engineering kernel you would have if you were on the VZW firmware, so you'll still need to apply the "fix" files after rooting, but just use the one for generic firmwares. I'm not sure if root on G930U performs any better than on VZW firmware but my guess is it doesn't (and root performance on this phone is terrible).
I hope this helps clarify some things.
If jbevins9988 has actually figured a way to get wifi calling to work on the G93OU firmware without rooting it certainly would be nice if he'd share the details of how he enabled it.

7hrs 51minutes.
I was on the the phone almost the entire time (as you can see)
Was testing what I could get. If I had not have been on it the entire time it would have stretched and would have lost minimal screen on time.
This was also with terrible radio reception, at one bar.
That would have raised battery time aswell. Decently I would assume.

[Guide] Cricket - Get Marshmallow! (6.0.1) - HTC 626s

Unfortunately, Cricket has apparently decided that our phone isn't worth an update. However, with a little knowledge, you can get it up and working in no time.
Thanks to @nightbreed813 for the original debloated MM ROM. Thanks also to @noaone for his tips. Without them, I'd still be on Lollipop.

Prerequisites:
You MUST have a custom recovery (preferably TWRP) installed. No ifs, ands or buts. If you don't currently meet this requirement, see this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/desire-626/help/complete-detailed-step-step-root-t3217505
Easy method:
Download the modified zip from this post
Copy it to your device's internal storage
BACKUP YOUR CURRENT DATA. This should work, but you don't want to be caught off-guard. DO IT!
Remove the SIM card. Keep it removed until you have completed the setup process. Replacing it before then will screw Android up, and you'll have to reflash.
Wipe System, Data, DALVIK & Cache
Flash the file you downloaded from this post.
Reboot your phone and wait for it to start the setup process.
Bypassed hands-free activation. Tap 'Done' in Self Service and accept that there wasn't a network to register to.
You can reinsert your SD Card at this point. Cricket will now set the network up for you.
.
You should be done now. Enjoy Marshmallow.
Manual method (Long):
Download a zip from nightbreed813's post.
Open the zip (preferably with Windows File Explorer), and, without extracting, navigate to \META-INF\com\google\android\
Open updater-script with a text editor, preferably Notepad++
Change the first 2 lines to
HTML:
#ASSERT
unmount("/system");
, replacing what's there.
Save, and let Windows recompile the zip
This zip should now flash on your phone. Follow the Easy Method instructions (excluding step 1) to install.

Hi, thank you for providing the instuctions. I flashed the rom to my 626. Unfortunately I'm not able to connect to LTE on GSM band. I guess this is because it is a Sprint Rom that's designed for CDMA network technology ?

I see no reason why it shouldn't; Cricket is on AT&T's network. Still, make a TWRP backup just in case it doesn't work out, for whatever reason.

No, as long as you have a 626s on Cricket, it should work. (Besides, I think Cricket is running on CDMA anyhow, though I might be mistaken.)

It's actually a 625 from Cricket that I'm using but it's considered to be the same as the 626. Cricket is using ATT's GSM network. I really hope I can enable LTE connectivity.

Well, that's probably what your problem is. After following the instruction outlined in the post (on my HTC Desire 626s), I've not encountered this. If everything else is the same beyond that, it's the only option.
PLEASE check that you've followed the instructions perfectly, especially steps 4 &8.
If you're 100% sure that you have, it may just be that the 625 on Cricket is somehow incompatible here.
At any rate, I can only help with what I have, and I have a 626s. If the exact same methods that work with my 626s aren't working on your 625, I can't do too much. Sorry...
If I can help anyway otherwise, let me know.

I used a Cricket 625 with the 626 ROM. Worked fine with the AT&T (StraightTalk) SIM.
A word of caution: this phone has very little room for much of anything. The stock ROM completely fills up the phone after all of the updates download (under Lollipop). This ROM gives you a bit of extra room, but not much.
I'm very happy with my no-ad Moto G5+ from Amazon. At $219, it's an incredible value. The bootloader is unlockable, and it's fairly "current" with nougat on the phone. Oreo is already in the pipe, and you can always switch to more custom ROMs after the Oreo updates quit coming.
With all of security issues plaguing phone users, old phones that can't keep reasonably current need to gracefully fade away.

Exactly the reason why I would like to run Android 6 on this phone so I can use adoptive storage
I also have trouble opening the APN settings after flashing this rom. Most of the times the phone shows me this "Select your carrier" screen. When I select my carrier (Telfort), internet works but after a reboot I have to choose my APN again. Anyone knows how to get rid of these preset apn settings ? (I tried these instructions for editing the build.prop to get full access to the APN settings. All suggestions are welcome, thank in advance !

I think I used a ROM called "AdvancedStock626_V5.zip". It's a bare-bones ROM, and I was able to manually set the APN.
You have unlocked your phone, right?

Whoops! I was wrong on which I flashed. My apologies....
I couldn't get the Advanced stock to "recover" with TWRP. Instead, I installed the debloated Sprint_Stock_MMDB from this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/de...-flashable-stock-htc-626s-debloated-t3293602/
I had LTE, or at least I thought I did. Everything seemed to work with my StraightTalk (AT&T) SIM.

Maybe this Sprint Rom doesn't support European LTE frequencie, I bought this 625 phone from Cricket last year when I was in the States. I see that I'm 3.5G now which is fine by me. One thing that concerns me is that the data roaming icon is greyed out. I'm flying to another EU country next week, does this mean I don't have internet abroad? I modified ro.com.android.dataroaming=false in build.prop into true, still can't select data roaming. Anyone know how to fix this ? Appreciate all the help!

LG-H873 (Canada) G6

Does anyone know if the TWRP (international) version works on this (Canada) version of the G6? What I would like to do is install TWRP and Lineage OS, however, neither TWRP or Lineage have a LG-H873 version of their downloads.
As far as Lineage OS is concerned, the G6 versions they have are for the EU and the US. TWRP only has an International version listed, whatever that is? International as far as the US is concerned, or South Korea?
The technical specifications for LG-H873 are identical to the LG-US997, however, does anyone have any further knowledge about any differences between the two models?
Hope someone can help. Thanks to those who try.

Your version of the G6 (Canadian) cannot officially have it's bootloader unlocked and subsequently (unfortunately) there are no options at all for you.. as far as installing TWRP, root or custom ROMS goes..

Clarify the LG-H873 Status and possible future please

I know there was no exploit for the lg-h873 bootloader unlock as of yet, but based on the above, is this saying that our handset is unlikely to ever be unlocked due to some technical reason? I am quite nervous when I see most posts about this are from last spring, and here we are 2018, with no sign of any work or progress or anything. Just the seemingly resigned line that it's not possible. Can someone clarify this? I just got this phone right before christmas, and I am freaking livid at finding this out. Anyone have any advice if this is a likely permanent problem on how to approach getting the handset switched or exchanged with the carrier or other due to this "gotcha" bullSh it?

Obviously, not meaning calling them up and saying "HEY, you blocked my hacking/rooting". In case that wasn't clear. I'm not above misrepresenting myself on THIS issue if the outcome is positive. Just returning the favor. By the way, the carrier is Telus if that matters

The bootloader is locked and that is final. Unless someone finds a massive exploit, there will be no root or ROM's for phones that have locked bootloader. I have the H873 on Koodo and it sucks but LG's stock rom is good enough.

I also have the Canadian variant and tbh I feel that (for me at least) rooting is not necessary.
Don't get me wrong, every other android phones that I owned were rooted and I loved it!
But with the G6, the stock ROM is not bad at all! The two main things I was "afraid" of at first were bloatware and ads (missing adaway) but you can debloat with the ADB method and I'm using blokada for blocking ads and I must say I'm very happy with this phone!
Other thing is, root means no android pay and that's something I'm planning to try very soon!
So no root is not as bad as I thought at first!

Thanks for this, I had no idea that this was the case. I'm going to guess that the locked bootloader must be the difference between the Canadian and US versions.

I'm using Android pay, no problems and it works very well. It's a shame that only a few Canadian banks are accepting it. However, you can put your Canadian Tire money card on it, along with Air Miles, Aeroplan and Scene rewards cards.

At the risk of sounding stupid or slow.....| The above is clear, but I was seeking clarification as to the status. As in, is the bootloader being locked something that is permanent? or reversible? Something that could be unlocked by LG if they so desired (like if they decided "hey, we should open the bootloader like we do for other countries) as some point). Not saying they ever would do so. But I was curious if this was the kind of thing where technical reasons or architecture made it impossible with the existing model. Or if LG could technically roll out a software patch that allowed it to unlock. Forgive me for sounding stupid here. I have been rooting every samsung phone and tablet I've come across going back to the s2 (roughly 7 devices). Each one of those, whatever the case or obstruction, eventually that root was available. So here is my very first LG device, and I'm so used to it being a given that access was possible...eventually, that I can't figure out why this fairly popular handset is basically a write off. Yes, no need to repeat, because the bootloader is locked. But of all the devices with root access possible, have none of them had locked bootloaders? Is there something structurally harder to get around with LG vs others? Please indulge me a little more detail as to why this is so unlikely. Thanks in advance

Yes, if LG wanted to, they could set up a system for you to unlock your bootloader, no update required, it's all done via their website.
You pop in your IMEI, and it's supposed to spit out your bootloader unlock code. This has only been done in a few countries.
There is going to be little development on this device though because it is NOT popular at all. Too expensive at launch, and price only came down when the S8 came out. Since it only has the 821, the type of enthusiast that would work on that type of unlock didn't even bother.
Even LG seems to have abandoned it already.

OEM Unlock Option

Can you please explain or direct me to info on how to debloat using adb in LG G6? I have a LG G6 from Fido.

Yes . That would be nice to know , how to debloat using ADB
Also , how would I go about making UI as close as possible to stock Android ?

Found this on another xda thread (credit to AM Radio)
1. get latest LG Universal Mobile Drivers (currently v4.2.0)
http://www.lg.com/us/support/software-firmware-drivers
- click on "LG Mobile Drivers" and click on "Windows"
- right-click, run/install as Admin
2. grab latest ADB binary, link provided on XDA
https://www.xda-developers.com/googl...ary-downloads/
- extract the "platform-tools" folder
3. install Package Name Viewer 2.0 from the Playstore
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...om.csdroid.pkg
- probably lots of apps that do the same thing, but i grabbed this one first. allows you to inspect all User and System apps on your phone, and select the ones you want into a list, and then copy that list to Keep or a text file or whatever
4. turn on USB debugging on your G6
- go to Settings > About Phone > tap Build Number until you're a developer
- go up a menu level, click on Developer Options (which should now be just above Above Phone)
- find "USB debugging' and turn it on
5. get hooked up:
- connect your G6 to your PC via USB
- on G6, change the mode to "File transfer"
- back on Windows, open the "platform-tools" folder, shift+right-click somewhere in the folder, select "Open command window here"
- type command (without quotes): "adb devices"
- in the command window, you will see confirmation that the daemon is started, and the name of your device
- if you get a dialogue box on the G6 re: USB debugging, just click "ok"
- type command (without quotes): "adb shell"
- in the command window, you will now see the "lucye:/ $" prompt
6. time to get cooking
- at the prompt, type (without quotes):
"pm uninstall -k --user 0 [PackageNameOfTheAppYouWannaRemove]"
- example:
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.lge.bnr
- hit Enter, and kaboom: LG Mobile Switch is gone.
- repeat as necessary, referencing that handy list you prepared in Step 3

H873 unlock bootloader need help
Hi guys,I bought a LS993 carrier unlocked with flashed firmware of H873 and I read on the internet that the bootloader cant be unlocked.I tried to go in ADB before but I didnt get a positive result but with the latest update I tried again and this time it was successful.Maybe someone of you people will tell me what to do to unlock the bootloader because I have access to ADB reboot bootloader command and so on.I really want a custom rom for our device and can help with everything I can.If someone can help maybe our device will be unlocked and possible to root.Reply in this thread or by PM.
