I am having issues with installing custom roms on my phone.. Which roms are you Canadians able to install without much issue ? Thanks
So I was able to install GF version 8 and but then I wasn't able to use WIfi.. I went back to reinstall and during the setup and selected the canadian version but this lead to the phone not booting up after installation.. This phone is the most problematic to use so far in my experience with custom roms.
Gold finger works and I find it awesome and fast
Goldeneye works very well latest version is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2313469

Installing cyanogenmod 12.1 for the 1st time so pls help
Hello I'm going to flash custom rom for the 1st time so I have some doubts........ If in future I want to change the rom then again do I need to flash the stock rom or I can directly install any other rom...... N after installing the rom, will my phone n SD card data lost?
Thanks in advance......
Hi anuj, if you want to change the ROM in future you can flash it without going back to stock ROM, but remember you can only flash same android versions, if you are on KK and want to flash a Lollipop ROM then you must be on stock lollipop for the first time, after that you can flash any lollipop ROM and also Marshmallow ROMs . If you are on stock KK then you can only flash KK ROMs.
Your SD card data will be safe, unless you format it. As you are going to install custom ROM for the first time, I will advice you to backup your SD card data and internal data too. Prevention is better than cure.
Let me know if you have any doubt
Hit thanks if you find it helpful
Downgrade from naugot to stock rom

Hi People
Unfortunately not had any replies to my 1st post about what bloatware and preinstalled apps that I am able to remove from the device after rooting it.
Could I try from another Angle could anyone provide a link for a custom rom that I could try and install which would remove it by installing a custom rom?
Sorry guys but I'm desperate to get the crap off and free up the device storage!
Thanks
Paul

If you goal is to free up space just removing preinstalled apps won't help that much since you are only modifying the system partition which is fixed and readonly. As for custom ROMs, since you are a T285 user you have the benefit of a wide range of ROMs to choose from, for 5.1.1 you have the tinker edition roms, on the other hand the 6.0.1 (CM, Omnirom) and 7.1.1 (Lineage, Omnirom) based roms allow adoptable storage, of course the 6.0.1 and 7.1.1 roms have problems just take note of the issues and problems each build has and see if it works for you. Just take a look at the ROMs and custom kernel section of this forum.
Thanks Jedid, would these roms remove bloatware upon installation? Which would you say is the most stable? Are they installed using Odin?

when you "install" these ROMs they actually replace the entire system and boot partition of your device, so they don't remove anything they replace it. In theory the Tinker Edition variant is the most "stable" as it is just stock with some apps removed. For non-stock based firmware (CM, LineageOS, Omnirom) I guess CM-13 has the most hardware support. Yes you use Odin to install these.
You wouldn't have clear step by step instructions to follow would you please? New to this it is rooted twrp and supersu.
Also could you provide the Rom on the tablet as it is now incase ever what to return it to normal.
Hi Guys I managed to install the Tinker Edition 5.1.1, it's still got kids mode Hancom, Samsung smart manager still on there? I don't seem to be able to move to SD card I thought you could on this rom? If not could anyone assist please?

Only 6.0.1 and 7.1.1 based roms like CM, Lineage and OmniRom support adoptable storage. For Tinker Edition use root apps like Link2SD to move to SD card.
With links2sd can you move any apps on the device to SD card? Are there any that do need to be left on the device?
After turning on the device today I don't seem to be connect to my wifi. Saying failed to obtain IP address also won't connect using tether from my phone either. All other devices in the household are connected fine, and there were no issues prior to installing Tinker edition rom last night. Can anyone help please? How to rectify? I've switched off router rebooted I've switched off device and still won't connect?
Sorted problem, the IP address needed changing!
If I have now installed custom rom after rooting my SM -T285 how do I put it back to how it was from new with no root or custom rom, none of the apps like sky sports mobile virgin media anywhere will work on a rooted device!

you can download the stock rom from sammobile, updato and then flash using odin
Would that over ride any custom rom then? Or would have to unroot after installing stock rom

hello every one
I updated my phone (xt 1572 dual sim) to android N official then I decided to install a custom rom
I installed a twrp recovery and rooted my phone. then I installed lineages 14.1 but the rom recognized only one simcard without any signal.
I have the same problem with other custom ROMs like lineages and resurrection
I tried to flash stock android MM but it didn't work.
what should i do now to have both sim cards on custom roms?
I really love lineage and Resurrection.
I'm waiting for your help.

Find a Rom that supports dual Sim cards, the ones that do will say so.

AICP . lineages and Resurrection all support dual sim card but in my phone they can't recognize simcard
i flash the stock MM 6.0.1 using fastboot and surprisingly my stock rom can't recognize simcards anymore, just like custom roms
what should i do?
is it because of system file changes?
