G900A: Downdgrade [Question] - Keyboard - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5

Hi everyone, new to the forums, thanks for having me here!!!
Okay question... I had to downgrade my G900A to the March 14th KST kernal to have root access since I had July's patch which was protected so couldn't use towelroot or any other method's etc..
Anyways... Now that i am downgraded, the samesung keyboard was corrupted somehow and was very strange acting, currently on the Google KB but I truly did LOVE the new samsung keyboard updates when i wasn't rooted.
Can I get my old keyboard back on the March 14th KST Kernel?? I don't like any other third party keyboards, i tried them all.
Thanks for any help in advance!

[rom][p7500][wifi+3g]stock 3.2 brazil vivo (from kies)

::: I WILL NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR DEVICE :::
Hi everyone! Today my Galaxy Tab 10.1 (3G) has been updated to Honeycomb 3.2 via Samsung Kies.
During the update, i saved the Kies download folder containing the firmware.
I've uploaded to 4shared on this link:
http://www.4shared.com/file/IvMsjSLY/P7500ZVVKL1_P7500UBKL1_P7500VI.html
- Its about 727MB.
- You need Odim to flash (I cant help you with that).
- Is a Brazilian VIVO 3G version, and "i think" will work on any 3G Galaxy TAB 10.1.
- I've updated this morning so, not tested enough.
- Is more fast than the original 3.1 but, not fast enough We really need ICS.
Great job tonywalker!
Samsung released updates from gt-p7500 but vivo doesn't offer support.
Many people uses task650's roms, and look very awesome, but most of task650 updates and others works only in "gt wifi only". Is there any way to use these roms and apply 3g support on gt-p7500 from vivo?
Probably not. Developers would have to create a ROM specifically for gt-7500.
After a few days of use I can say that I really liked this update to 3.2. The most annoying problem was resolved, and now just the slowness of the tablet bothers me.
I think you should try.
Thanks a lot.
Searching an restock way for a looooong time, thank you.
which problems and apps?

I´d like to know what kind of problem did you find on 3.2 stock? Is it slowest than 3.1? Yesterday i rooted the tablet (3.1 os) and also overclocked, after these mods i realized that honeycomb are more fast and flow now. Honestly i dont want to create new problems that now.
Some apps are very usefull and cant miss on this tablet like:
- Folder Organize (u can use lite version)
- HD Widgets (improve time and weather with a excelent widget)
- Hide bar (the propose is: hide system bar every time you want, but bottom restore didnt work as the program promess)
- wifi ad hoc enabler (this app are really getting me nervous!!! I´m looking for a app that enable ad-hoc network and share files between pc and tablets (option locked by samsung). This is a new app and most os people are leaving messages saying that its perfect. After follow all the instructions i cant share my files.
** I tried to download 3.2 stock but i think that only 4shared users are allowed to download big files. Please, split the rom in two small files and reupload
Denis Costa
Just to confirm, I flash this by putting my tablet into download mode, then selecting PDA in odin and then search for the .tar.md5 file of the ROM right?

[ROM] Stock Archos Firmware 4.0.28 (file version of 2nd Mach 2013) | Root version !

Hi all,
This is the rooted version of the stock firmware 4.0.28 published the 2nd Mach 2013 on Archos website.
As you know, Archos release 3 versions of the last firmware 4.0.28:
Feb. 25 -- Listed on site: 210,030 Kb -- Actual size: 215,070,152 bytes
Feb. 28 -- Listed on site: 210,040 Kb -- Actual size: 215,080,008 bytes
Mar. 02 -- Listed on site: 210,046 Kb -- Actual size: 215,086,104 bytes
surdu_petru rooted the first file version and had no time to root the last file version.
With this version, there was a bug during the boot: black screen and boot logo Archos for 3 sec just before the loock screen.
This issue is corrected in the firmware of the 2nd March.
So, with surdu_petru help, and with letama's scripts, i built a rooted firmware based on the 2nd March file.
Download :
please download from here all necessary files :
archos.ext4.update
zImage
initramfs.cpio.lzo
Archos_4.0.28_20130302.zip
Mirror:
Archos_4.0.28_20130302.zip
Installation :
connect USB cable ;
unzip Archos_4.0.28_20130302.zip into Archos_4.0.28_20130302 directory
copy archos.ext4.update in your device, or > adb push archos.ext4.update /mnt/storage
go to recovery SDE and Remove android kernel if you have already installed any official firmware !
go to Flash kernel & Initramfs and copy here zImage and initramfs.cpio.lzo from ( Archos_4.0.28_20130302)
Ok ! ... & wait to boot !
Now you have rooted the last Archos Firmware 4.0.28 - Android 4.0.4 !!!
Important :
1)Busybox 1.20.2r2 from linusyang is installed in /system/bin/
2)I used SuperSU from Chainfire for this release instead of Superuser.
So, after the first boot, you need to launch SuperSU in order to complete its installation.
The application will popup "SuperSU need to be upgraded. Continue?"
Click YES
On the new window, choose "NORMAL", and then click "YES" when the installation is succeed.
Best Regards.

firmware 4.0.28 / Mar. 02 fixes for me
- boot animation work again
- wifi is stable again - random disconnects are gone
- indexing of files during start up is much shorter
use 4.0.28 / Mar. 02 instead of 4.0.28 / Feb. 25 if you have the same problems from above :good:
in general it's nearly by my favorite 4.0.7.

Let's clarify things here... "as you know" is bogus crap... **I AM THE PERSON** that first posted any info about there being 3 different versions with the SAME firmware number (both here and over on archosfans.com). Very few people would actually know about it otherwise.
Second, you are also wrong about the boot screen fix. That WAS already in the Feb. 28 Archos firmware. I really do not know what the heck they changed between that one and the last release (I could not find anything at all that worked different other than the file size).
As such, the ONLY thing you got right is the fact that surdu_petru (as always) rushed out a firmware far to quickly and (since he no longer even has an Archos G9, can't even test it).
I DO appreciate your effort in making a more 'current' rooted version available for those people that 'think' it is worth having though. So, one thumb up, and one thumb down LOL.

Hmm, nobody said that surdu_petru did a bad job.
Maybe you could not find differences between the first and the third version of firmware, but the result is different (for me).
The firmware of 2nd march fixes 2 issues on my Archos 101 G9 that comes with the 1st rev. and i never had before and 1 older problem :
- Bootanimation,
- WiFi-Disconnections (faced up with 1st revision, always stable in the past),
- Endless file indexing after reboot since 4.0.26 (decreases from about 4 minutes to few seconds) and my tablet is now much faster ready to work.
I had/have no pictures, videos, music or other media files on my tablet.
I'm happy now to have my tablet back without (small) issues.
regards and thanks to all for the work

Thanks for posting this rom. I went from the latest stock to the rooted 4.0.7, than to this rooted 4.0.28.
I will now see how things run rooted. Thanks again. :good:

I did not say, nor did I ever mean to imply that surdu_petru did a bad job (with any firmware he has released). What I WAS saying though is that he rushes out new releases within hours of any official Archos firmware release WITHOUT knowing what flaws are in the official firmware first. And, now he no longer even has a G9, so he can not even check problems in the official firmware anymore.
Just never made much sense to be spitting out new rooted versions BEFORE people even had a chance to report the flaws and problems with the official stock Archo version first. Anyway...

I did not say between the 1st and the 3rd. What I did say is that the 2nd one fixed the boot animation and I could not find anything else that worked any differently between the 2nd and the 3rd (other than the file size being different).
If anyone knows what else Archos changed/fixed in the 3rd one I'd love to hear about it? Of course, it WOULD be much nicer if Archos would be more honest and actually post that information in their change log to start with.
I am having some issues with this rom. Wi-fi is unable to connect if I used my Inet at work unless I did a reboot. When I returned home, it auto connected just fine. Some apps are dropping out unexpectedly like Asphalt 6 and Nook. I will have to keep playing with it and see what else happens.

Oh cheese I'm really sorry to hear that... NOT. I may come off sounding rude and obnoxious, but the fact of the matter is that ANY firmware after 4.0.7 is just horrible GARBAGE. Many people do not notice all the very little tiny flaws in the newer 4.0.2x firmware versions, but if you are seriously using you device for MANY things, well....
Various games do not run correctly, or the graphics do not display correctly... or the sound sometimes works, sometimes it doesn't, other times just quits somewhere in the middle.
Sometimes, even playing a video file is messed up... plays slightly faster than it should. There ARE a number of other things, but I won't list them all here... anyway...
I will not say that 4.0.7 was ever 100% perfect, but it did NOT have all the little idiot annoying flaws that are in the 4.0.2x firmware. Guess SOME PEOPLE don't do much more than web surffing, e-mail, or reading e-books. For those of us that do OTHER THINGS the flaws start showing up rather quickly.
I assume at some point the MOD's here will just start deleting my posts, but until they do I am going to keep repeating what I have said... any firmware above 4.0.7 is just PURE GARBAGE! Don't know why anyone would want it (official or rooted versions).
back to 4.0.7
i'm back on 4.0.7!
tired with nightly reboots, reboots during work. reboot within anywhere. my next tablet comes from anywhere but not from archos.i agree with @55mls and 4.0.7 should be the last firmware for my archos until it dies.
a disapointed customer
The problem with these devices is said to be that there are many hardware revisions. So some people see bugs that others do not. It's probably something to with hardware drivers not behaving identically across all revisions, or that some revisions simply have hardware problems. I've been on 4.0.28 for months and have been fine with it. 4.0.7 has annoying wifi problems on my 80 G9.
I would give Archos another chance but only after carefully reading the forums for the device. My 80G9 experience really hasn't been that bad, but that's mostly because I just got it 4 months ago and so didn't have to deal with the initial year of total **** firmware releases. I waited because 1) I had a Nook Color 2) I had read the forums early in 80G9 release days and saw it was a disaster.

Maybe you are right, but 4.0.7 was the best for my 101G9 (first Generation, delivered with HC). Torture starts with 4.0.25 and 4.0.28 was much better, but it's not STABLE on my device. Unusable for me.

The 101G9 was'nt my first device. I had a 101G8 before and changed 3 times(!) because the USB-Connector did not work. Allways broken after view weeks and the second device did not charge properly. Bad hardware design i guess and I hoped the G9 was better, but it is not really! GPS did not work from the first day on until now, WiFi was problematic too (with Honeycomb) and the firmware? Some problems seems fixed, but i got new trouble every time with other things. I can accept small glitches but not reboot orgies even the device is untouched or is charging over night. My G9 lives a life of its own.
That's my experience. I surrender after 4 years. Archos, take my money and run.
Cyanogenmod 10.1 is looking really good. There are a few bugs left yet though. It could turn out to be the best firmware available. It's ridiculous that Archos said 4.2 on G9 was impossible.

Root?

Hi, i was wondering if its possible (and if you haven't updated to LMY47X.G900AUCU4CPA1) to root using the StageFright exploit (CVE-2015-3876) or maybe Metasploit (cause that still works with remote code execution). Anyways, thanks for reading. Hope i get a nice juicy answer lol
Edit: Just switched phones with my sister, now i have some nicer vulnerabilities.
I tried CVE-2015-7888 and it actually worked.. I just don't know how to use smali!

[ROM][NIGHTLY][KK] Cyanogenmod 11 [ASB: August 2016]

Hi everyone,
I got my mako in apr 2013. Apparently, on cm12/13 it seems to be affeected by this bug. So, to clear any doubt about it, I wondered if downgrading to kitkat might help in general.
Even if the battery gain was to be dramatically high, security is my first corcern. The last
Android security bulletins (ASB) contain a lot of critical bugs; anyway from them I discovered that kitkat still get security updates from google and from CMxLog that someone still add to about page that cm11 is updated to respect the "MM YYYY ASB". I trust cyanogenmod in that.
So since I never tried to compile aosp and as this rom wasn't updated in a while, I synced cyanogenmod repos and I compiled it with the instructions on cyanogen wiki.
The rom is good and stable.
As you can see from the screenshot below, without gapps, with major instant messengers (whatsapp, telegram-foss with smart push disabled) and email push notifications (k9 mail), battery drain on idle is basically non-existent:
I wanted to share this build with you because I think this is an amazing community.
I plan to update this rom every time an ASB comes out (once in a month, as long as google keeps supporting kitkat).
Zio Guiduccio
NB: If you can't open Messages, flash first june rom, then august one.
26/08/2016
I made available a second build (FOSS) with some little differences. Here they are:
- Replaced Browser with getChromium app, because zero-day exploits in kitkat webviews (use only updated chromium!);
- Replaced Email with K9-mail, because kitkat webview and zero-day exploits;
- Removed Exchange2 because zero-day exploits (don't know alternatives othen than normal gmail);
- Added F-Droid;
- Added Offline Calendar, otherwise standard calendar is useless;
- Added Adaway;
- Added Document Viewer (many formats reader);
- Added Kolab Notes;
- Added Yaab (Minimum brightness on-demand).

/system/framework/webview
/system/framework/webviewchromium.jar
/system/lib/libchromium_net.so
/system/lib/libwebviewchromium.so
/system/lib/libwebviewchromium_plat_support.so
with ones from cm-m12-official because logcat tells me that the webview i compiled goes segfault when I try to open messages in mms.apk, k9 mail and settings in rar and amaze. In general, the code is untouched.

Hi,
Is there any chance you've updated this for the July ASB? Might give it a shot if you haven't
(And thank you, this is freaking awesome!)
Just a quick question, but can you download Pokemon GO from Play Store when using this ROM?

Sorry. The day cyanogenmod mantainer approved the patches (31th july) I went away from home (and the building machine.) I will come back next week at minimum. I'll publish next build for 15th August at maximum.
EDIT: Still no july patches merged to cm11 branch.

In your OP, you mention running this ROM "without gapps." Is the ROM designed to be run only in a state that is without any gapps package, or is it OK to use a gapps package if we want? I would use Open GApps for KK 4.4.
Of course you flash KK gapps.

Verizon Note 9 OTA N960USQS1CSF3 June Security Patch rolling out now.

Verizon is pushing out the June 1 security patch to the Note 9. The camera does not include night mode yet.
Received, don't notice any changes except security patch and perhaps the boot loader is upgraded as that designation is "S1" instead of "U1" .
Perhaps one of our more knowledgeable members will advise....
