Hi guys and girls,
short question, but important:
Is the G800F a good shot? What are your experiences? A family member wants to buy a new phone (a mini version, because its mini ), so I recommended the S5 Mini.
Please tell me some negs and pros, before we buy the wrong phone..
S5 is brilliant, so I hope the mini is it, too..
Thank you
Marcus

Yes, I am also a flash-o-holic, but if the russian fw runs correctly on the german phone is the question.. (baseband f.e., kernel...)
sasukesama: You have a different phone. freibergisch speaks about S5 Mini (G800F) but your is S5 Mini (G800H). 5.1.1 is not available on G800F yet so don't confuse him.

make a backup for the efs in case you lost the sim and restore it
all other things are the same no need to worry
The phone is not in my hands then, I can not flash it because of 600 kilometers between us so the phone gets lollipop when sammy released it.. Would it be mine, I would flash cm or similar one
We hope that sammy really pushes the update out.. Talking about marshmallow is a joy, just not more than a good joke, I believe...

I came from a desire hd to g800f (uk)
Run the software updates asap, fix quite a few issues.
Phone size is similar, but lighter.
Battery, providing you don't keep 4g/sync/gps on all the time you'll see 2-3 days normal use even more if you don't use it much. I've had 7 days so far.
Speed, well I had an old smart phone so this is incredible.
All apps I've used work well except sphere camera.
The only downsides, bundled Samsung crap and the emoticons in messages like to use mms over sms so watch out on that part.
The screen always turns on when receiving sms and I've accidentally gone through menus and called people from my pocket.
Depending which pocket you put it in, I find I press the screen on button in my right pocket so need to carry in my left.
Overall, it's good & well priced
G800f no good ?

Baterie no good
I come from S4 Mini. For me it was a big biiiig update: LED notification, larger screen, HD display, etc etc... S5 is by far better then the S4 in my eyes. BUT!
I am aswell a flash-o-holic - I always need to have the perfect rom for my uses - and the S4 Mini was in these terms godlike. My last flashings were a few month ago..
The S5 Mini especially the 800F isnt somehow... loved enough?.. to get some custom Roms. I am curently on CM12.1 by hennymcc (TY for your work!) and I am not really satisfied with this rom and it needs some improvements (photo quality, cant connect to my bt box..)
I really am thinking of turning back to stock...
Next consideration is: this device is forgotten by samsung.
5.1.1 will be released 2019! *jk
I am in sort of a pickle. I've had the S5 for a couple months now and I, too, come from a phone that had an amazing variety of choices when it came to ROMs. Unfortunately (I live in Germany), I have the G00F and there is only 1 ROM currently available (CM12.1) and it is still in beta development. The ROM was sort of useable but crashed quite a bit), but the bluetooth worked perfectly. I went back to the stock ROM and everything works great, but the bluetooth is terrible. The phone is pretty much unusable when the bluetooth is on and connected with headphones or something else. Other than bluetooth issues, the phone works perfectly.
how exactly is it unusable? did you try re-flashing your device or did you use any third party bluetooth apps?
Im curious cause I think I will really go back to stock.

HI!
I think it´s typical for gameloft to support Samsung Devices more than HTC.
I like this Game but it really looks ugly on the HTC One when i look at the Game on my Wife´s Glaxy S4 active.
Look:
HTC One:
Galaxy S4:
I would say it´s gamelofts fault not to support the HTC One right.
So my question is i someone knows how to modify the game to give the better graphics to our HTC One
THX, Michael

Click to collapse
So here is the Solution:
You need root and your System must be mounted as r/w (Reed/Write)
-for example in Viper Rom you can do it by activate it in Venom Tweaks -> Advanced -> Mount system r/w
Than you need to open a Root Explorer for example ES-File-Explorer and need to got to the Folder:
Device/system
than open the build.prop file with a text editing app like ES-Note-Editor
than hit MENU -> EDIT and change the red marked line from HTC ONE to GT-19500:
Save changes and reboot.
You can change the build prop back to normal now but sadly after next restart the better graphic are gone.
First time i had some bad lags in the game but it was solved after going to Venom Tweaks -> Misc -> Minfree setting
and changed it to stock (btw this solved some annoing lags in chrome browser too for me)
Recognized The Same .... Really weird
Gesendet von meinem HTC One mit Tapatalk 4
I noticed this too on real racing... The graphics are crap compared to when I played it on my iPhone 5.
Feels like I have 720p on a 50" TV as opposed to 1080p on a 40".
try editing your HTC One build.prop to the sgs4 model
Lol that really was tue deal.... But now its laggy as hell

That would be awesome how ?
Very true for Real Racing. It's smoother and cleaner on my brother's S3 than it is on my One. What would changing the model in build.prop even do?
It would make the play store think our phone is the gs4 and they will run better
Just change the HTC One in the build to GT-I9505

But the game runs really really bad
Gesendet von meinem HTC One mit Tapatalk 4
So... Pretty much all the raw horsepower in the one is useless for games that don't officially support it? Fragmentation might be the key to me switching back to iOS.
Hey Thx it Works, just edited the build.prop and reinstalled the game!
And now I found out what causes the lag issue: I'm jusing venom Rom and had to change minfree to stock (default was "multitasking") and now all lags are gone. Test it and feedback
I'm jusing elementalX kernel with overlooked gpu to 450mhz
Hello Can you give some informations about you have done to improves graphics ?

After restarting the phone the better graphics are gone
So I changed the build.prop back to Galaxy S4 Mode, restarted the phone and right the better graphics are back.
So it seems we just have a tempsolution..
So, Just got a tab S2 with 5.02 on it. It's the SM-T815 model. According to the play store, all of the MS office apps are "incompatible" with this device (ie, word, excel). Is this due to the tablet model or the version of android? They run on my nexus 7 with kitkat just fine.

They should work, I don't see the reason why it shouldn't, my came pre installed, so I'm not sure why it's not available for download.
Could the S2 4:3 aspect ratio be incomparable with the apps? or at least throwing the comaptibilty checker.

Why sideload, you can just download direct to the tablet and install?

Thanks all. Ended up side loading them, and as expected they work fine. Not sure why they are listed as not supported.
One note has never worked with my tablet. I have tested to uninstall and reinstall without success.
I've just tested mine, it works ok, although I don't really use it.
I never had any problems with the microsoft apps on my tab s2. (9.7 LTE) In Germany on the unbranded Version, they`re preinstalled. But you can install them with Galaxy Apps from samsung, and keeping them updated. Google Playstore often beeing strange with it`s "incompatible" message......Often you can download it by changing DPI or faking a Phone , and them run fine as they should. Think, it´s a thing of the account owners settings. If he set the wrong android Version, or else.....maybe at this case, It`s about the license, if Samsung paid for the exclusive License to offer MS Apps over their App Store to the Tab S2, Google isn`t allowed to offer it to this device. But I´m not sure.......
I have 'word' pre-installed on my tab s2, however when I try to type anything the keyboard does not popup so I cannot type anything, but it does when using other MS apps like excel. Does anyone have any idea why this happens in word only? (btw, it has been updated to latest version)
About these microsoft word, excel, and powerpoint apps... i tried them, but do i need to buy them or subscribe for me to edit a document? Because right now it only aĺlows me to read... whenever i try to edit, it states... i need to subscribe, etc...

Thanks for your work I just installed last night and I have noticed I'm not seeing my 5ghz WiFi network. I herd of this problem on the newer cm13 as well but stayed on an older nightly. Is there a work around?
Edit:
And now I'm getting terrible audio outbursts of loud ticking. I'm running without mods(xposed or kernel) and minimal root apps(and only baked in root/privacy guard) right now. Also no restores of any kind.
About 5ghz can anyone confirm this, could not test it cause use the old 2,4ghz.
What did you mean with audio outbursts? In which situation meaning what did you do befor you faced it?
Gesendet von meinem Nexus 5
I was using a set of Bluetooth headphones but already turned them off. I went to my recents then randomly the speaker just got loud and started making noise(best way to describe it was a clicking). Since I rebooted the phone I haven't noticed it but I'll be listening to music via Bluetooth today so I'll see if it happens again.
I tried installing this on a kltevzw and it wouldn't install (figured that since this was posted in the unified ROM forum that it would work on any SG5...whoops). Any chance you could make a kltevzw version or point me in the direction of an updated CM12.1 kltevzw ROM? Thanks!
@AddictedToB3er will try to repruduce this little problem as soon as i find time.
@Clevinger this is just for klte variants, kltevzw isn't supported. Will see how many people are interested in, to get it also for kltevwz... If there are at least 5 people interested, then i'll build also for this vatiant.

I have not been able to reproduce my audio bug so unless it resurfaces I will act as if it never happened.
Also I got my 5ghz network showing up now. I went and played around with my router settings and changed the channel a few times and it's back. I also disabled and re enabled the wifi. Sorry for the false alarms.

This rom won't be developed any further. Like you I was also unhappy with cm13 and with marshmallow generally, but now tried and am really happy with Blisspop v6.4, that runs smooth and has got some more cool additional features compared to cm13.. Battery's performing great too. Maybe you should give it a try.

Kid's edition can be handled the same manner as any other 5th gen Fire. There are plenty of instructions throughout this forum that address your questions. Start with the index and keep reading. You will likely find the SuperTool quite helpful. If the details seem overwhelming you should reconsider your options.
I used this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/amazon-fire/orig-development/rom-fire-nexus-rom-lmy49f-t3300714 A while back I tried other ROMs and they had sound issues (not sure it was fixed or not)

I believe sound issues in CM 12.1 were addressed in a subsequent build. That said, Fire Nexus is solid choice. Can't go wrong with either.

According to this website, Samsung may be actually testing its own Android software, based on Nougat 7.1.1 for the Note 4, the Snapdragon variant of the device is listed on GFXBench.

Why would Samsung update the OS on a phone over two years old, potentially stopping people from upgrading to an newer device?
Don't get me wrong I think the Note4 is still a freaking amazing phone. I just don't want to create some sort of false hope when to me I don't see any real benefit Samsung has in updating this wonderful phone.
