adoptable storage with Marshmallow - Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
Tomorrow I am buying a galaxy s2 9.7 tab (t813). However I just read on the internets that adoptable storage is not standard available for us with the new marshmallow update. I did find a work-a-round for the galaxy S7: http://wccftech.com/how-to-get-adoptable-storage-on-galaxy-s7-or-s7-edge/
However I also read this doesn't work on the s2 9.7 tab!!!! Can someone please tell me if this works or not? I will be buying a second hand one tomorrow so I can't return it if this trick doesn't work. I am looking to use this tab in combination with MovieBox so I like to stick in a 128gb microsd card for lots of movies.
Thanks

No one?

The procedure done on the S7 works fine on the T813. I did it this morning on my new T813. The advantage of this method is root isn't required.

So what happens when we get a nougat update to this procedure?

Once its set adoptable it stays adoptable. I'm also surprised the previous poster said it worked by using just adb commands. According to others it doesn't work and needs the adoptable storage patch.

[Q] What should i do first ?

Hello.
My Galaxy Tab arrives tomorow and i read here at XDA that the stock rom isn`t that good as some Rom`s cocked here.
So i`m new to this.
Can someone help me with a few links and steps of what shoud i do to try XDA rom`s?
I`ve seen that it`s 1st post on development "How to root" but what are the steps.
I`m mean whats the next step after root and if i`m not wrong i`ve seenthat you coud flash roms via recovery and via a program Odin. Can you give me a link on how to in both cases ?
Thank you very much and hope in good roms for Galaxy Tab

How about a little more info: What kind of tab is it? 7" 8.9" 10.1"? GSM or CDMA. Unbranded wifi only? Or carrier fixed like T mobile or AT&T?
Also before rooting or flashing you need to know if your tab has a locked bootloader or not. If it is you need to apply a certain patch.
Give us some info and links will be on the way.

Well the choice of going custom or remaining on stock ROM is totally up to the user. IF you feel fullfilled by your device. then no need for a custom ROM otherwise use it.

few noob questions

sorry about these noob questions...but let start:
1. i got an att&t 8.9 3.2 honeycomb os. what is the latest os (official or unofficial) out there now that works smoothly with my device meaning everything works, front and back camera, sound etc. links would be great.
2. i'm getting ipc communication popup error every once in awhile. what does this error mean? how do i get rid of this error. i assume if i update to latest os, the error will be gone? btw, i dont have a sim card inserted in my device, so i don't really know if its matter?
3. my device sometime auto dim. how do i turn off auto dim if i want it to stop?
4. how do i get kies? do i install it on both my device and pc? if on my pc, where is the install file?
thx in advance.

Not familiar with your device but I'll give it a try anyway.
3: Press the time in lower right corner and then set a fixed brightness.
4: Kies for windows is avalable on Samsung webpage. Search for your device on support and then select software.
Kies for wifi is awailable on google play and is only needed if you want to syncronize over the air.
Did a search for ROM's but just came up with a custom here on xda. Hopefully someone else will help you.

i did a search on android market for kies and all it came up was kies air from samsung. it is basically for sharing files between your tab 8.9 device with any devices on your wifi network. is that it? if yes, i thought kies allow you to update your os to the latest os if there are any from samsung via wifi. if no, where is the actual kies on android market? thx in advance.

Kies air (app) is for syncronizing your tab (files/contacts/music...) by wifi via Kies installed in your computer. It's not a wifi sharing tool.
Kies for PC is downloaded from Samsung webpage to your computer, not on to yor tab via market
If you install Kies in your computer and then plugin your tab (via cable) to it you can update the tab's system aswell as syncronize files (faster than wifi)
I dont think it's possible to update system via Kies air.

I suspect your tab isn't rooted. Then you should download Kies.
Go to the Samsung webpage, select support and then manuals and downloads.
Choose your device (you can choose the 7310, it makes no differens when downloading Kies)
When Kies is installed just plug in your tab and choose "update firmware"
Look for my post about flashing the us version o your P7310. If cant find out i'll help u.

And here's the link to the ODIN ICS http://www.hotfile.com/dl/169458139/5cca4ab/P7310UELPB_P7310XARLPB_XAR.zip.html
A step by step guide for odin you'll find in the 7310 development department. Good luck
So for a beginner, which one is easier for me to do? Go to samsung website download kies and update my firmware to ics or do odin?
Also I read on some threads after some ppl upgrading their os, they had charging problem. What kind of problems are these and what are the steps to take to get rid of these problems? What do you need to do before you upgrade your os?
Thx in advance.

The charging problem relates to people who updated their P73x0 with an image ported from the Tab 10.1.
I am not sure which Tab you have. Is it an 8.9 3G or an 8.9 LTE?
If it's an 8.9 3G model, and you don't mind not having support for a SIM card, then the modded / rooted image from the 7310 will work for you. If you ahve the LTE version then this image is definitely not suited for your device. So be careful!
I have a 3G model myself, currently without sim card. I decided not to wait anymore and flashed the modified 7310 ICS image onto it. I am completely happy. Everything works, except the sim card (because the image is for the wifi-only tab) and it is a lot smoother and faster than the honeycomb image.
Image is found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1858251
You'll need to root your device and flash CWM. All is explained in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1406137

This is based on the assumption that your'e not rooted and using a stock ROM.
The easiest way is to update via Kies:
No need for root
Coming from stock ROM most apps will continue to work
You wont void warranty
No special effort required from you
The battery issues some have had is best avoided by upgrading with a full battery (no garanties though)
I did my upgrade via CWM. I did a full wipe and then formatted system, cache and data folders before updating (all apps and settings are lost)
I haven't had any problem, actually my tab has better stamina now.

not sure but as far as I understood from reading elsewhere, the AT&T tab is an LTE version, with wholly different hardware. if so, stay away from Odin flashing p7300/7310 ROMs !
Yes in the back of my 8.9. It does say 4g lte. So I guess I got the lte version. If I got the lte version, I guess none official ics update yet? If not, are there any unofficial version of it anywhere? If yes, is the unofficial bug free and can someone provide a direct link plz? Tia.

That's right. Besides, the Rom for the LTE are all Honeycomb so there's nothing to gain.
Kies works just like ota updates. Samsung is responsible for them.
Odin you are the one responsible and u must do all the work.
I did it by odin.

A bit more zippy than the stock ROM due to the reasons listed on that thread. Otherwise, it's Samsung's honeycomb image.
Yes, android native tethering, both WiFi and USB, is enabled.
If you still think it's slow, get a new launcher, twlauncher (touchwiz) is kind of a beast...
You can overclock it to 1.7ghz or so and it'll still be reliable, at least that's my experience.
The ATT ICS ROM is in test with the carrier. It'll probably be out in a month or two. Samsung should also release the ICS kernel source around then, after which you'll likely see some custom ICS images -- Nobody wants to bother making custom HC images OR trying to get an ICS kernel working on this device before Samsung releases a proper one -- Several have tried and found it quite a task.

i rather not go thru all the hassle just for honeycomb mods.
but something does seems to interest me. it said about overclock to 1.7 ghz. how do i find out on my current 8.9 how many ghz is it running right now. and how do i overclock to 1.7 ghz? i assume you need to get some kinda apps from android market? if so what apps is it and is it free?
and what is touchwiz (twlauncher)? where can i get it? is it on the android market also?
thx for everyone help.

Custom ROMs for my Active?

Hey XDA!
I recently purchased an AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4 Active. It has MF3 and is rooted (obviously). I installed SafeStrap earlier this morning and was looking for custom roms to put onto my phone. However, I was unable to find any for the Active version. I have seen plenty for the regular s4, but none for mine. Do you guys know of any that I could use? Or a better question would be is it even possible? I dont think I can put the roms for the regular s4 on but correct me if im wrong.
Thanks in advance.

Hey @br0adband did you read that we can flash stock based 4.2.2 gs4 Roms for our actives? Its only a matter of adding the two physical menu and back buttons. I am anxiously awaiting more people to try and verify. If I get brave I will attempt it after work today.

Not yet. I'm a sucker for touchwiz though, so I'll give it a try in a couple of days. aosp has too much black and blue coloring for me. I tried shostock first because that's what I had on my s2, and I loved it.

as I think that
OPPO kind of ruined color rom and I do not want to use it anymore because of it not being ready for daily use, I would like to ask you folks which custom rom is the best in your opinion. Therefore I would like to know what the most positive and most negative aspects of each custom rom are so that I can compare them.

You won't be able to find DULK1. for your model Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830V. At least, I've not been able to find it. You can find DULK2 at Tsar3000: tsar3000.com/Joomla/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=542:samsung,s5830-b-c-d-i-l-m-t-v-z-s5839i-galaxy-ace-firmwares&catid=55:samsung&Itemid=82 - scroll 'til you find V model. If you're with Vodaphone then I guess you get that one. I'm not so I use the other.
You can also go to sammobile: sammobile.com/firmwares/to get DULK2 (plus another version) - though that site you must sign up (for free) to download. Just do a search for your model in the search box.
You could also try updating your firmware through Samsung Kies, though I've always had some problem with that BUT what's really handy, is whether you can successfully update or not through Kies, it WILL tell you what your next/updated firmware specs are.
Edit: After researching, DULK2 IS definitely the correct update to do up from DULK1.... so you should be fine to use that.

Soft bricked tablet, looking for firmware

Hey guys, soft bricked my Galaxy Tab S2 SM-T813 this evening and I'm struggling to find a place where I can download the firmware to restore it. Every site I go to requires me to sign up or pay. I am able to restore it via Odin and with the firmware correct? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
did you try samfirmware.com? I believe if you're in the US, use the "Cellular South" version. I don't think it costs anything to register and download but it will be at a slower download speed, but free nonetheless.
Got it all sorted, thanks for the heads up though. Anyone able to link me to a up-to-date root guide?
