Hi, to begin if this is not the subject my sincere apologies, as you will see, I am new.
I have two appointments.
1- What would happen if I put the firmware of the Samsung J120M in my J110M. I've searched everywhere for a rom for the J110M and I do not find it, it contains Android 5.1.1 lollipop (But **** haha, it's ugly) the J120M also contains 5.1.1 lollipop (very nice, updated apps, very smart.).
Like every member of the community (I suppose) I am very obsessive. I like that my android is extremely tidy and obviously I like it. So for this first point I want to know if at least the worst thing that could happen is that you have to install the J110M firmware via download mode. Because if I ***** I ****ed.
Now 2 !.
As I never found a rom for this cel, it took me to customize it on my own. I replaced the samsung browser (for a more recent version) I replaced the touchwiz launcher (for an s7 launcher with icons of this one) obviously replacing the apk of the system. I saw a subject right here, where a developer posted s6 apps for any samsung device with android 5.1 lollipop with touchwiz interfaces. But none served me !!. I replaced the default apk (obviously copying) from the gallery, added the samsung player, also from My files, etc. And each one when restarting the cell phone threw the error "Gallery has stopped" etc etc. I deleted the data and everything, even reset the cel several times and it did not work. So if someone tells me how I could make these applications compatible for this cell phone (j110m) I would be very grateful.

As the title suggests, I've seen plenty of documentation on the forums as to how to uninstall the Samsung bloat that comes with the Captivate, but what about those of us who want to install some of that "bloat" back onto a newly rooted/flashed phone?
One app I really liked for instance was the Samsung IM app (wasn't branded by carrier, was just a vanilla Samsung app - I believe it was part of the Social Hub) and I would love to get that put on my phone running Perception 10. I tried using Titanium to back it up and then restore it to the Perception ROM after flashing, but I just get either an error message saying that the Seven service is unavailable or FCs if I try any other ways.
Are there any links to apks or app dumps out there? Am I missing something? Forgive me if I am, I've been looking for a while but haven't managed to find any threads that actually have the apks/zips attached or go into great detail on how to do this.
Thanks!
I believe allot of the apps that are samsung are reliant on touch wiz. So if your rom does not have touch wiz, I do not think you bean use it.
Although I may be off here
I have an AT&T HTC ONE and I constantly switch roms. It's annoying because I lose everything but I get bored easily because none of the roms are perfect.
I tried CyanogenMod and I didn't like it because I thought it was suppose to be stock android but it's not.
I tried AOKP, Paranoid Android, and PACMAN ROM all of which killed my battery and made it hot.
I even tried Stock Sense roms such as AndroidRevolution which is probably the best rom but I'm getting tired of Sense kind of. ViperOne Rom killed my battery so I didn't like that.
Then I tried MIUI because I love iPhone and hoping to go back when my contract ends because of how easy it is to use. The problem with android in my eyes is that it doesn't come with much support. On IOS you have your texts come in easily and you see them on your lockscreen, IOS has all kinds of apps like Weather, Clock which some Android Versions don't even come with. on android when I get a text all I see is a green light and it's annoying. It doesn't even light up my phone when I get a text, Android always makes like 5 different duplicates of a contact. MIUI did almost everything right. It provided you with many pre installed apps that you can use such as Weather, Calculator, Security, Calender, notes, etc. MIUI also had micloud which allowed me to text from my computer. The one problem with MIUI is that it doesn't support Group Messaging. And I know what everyone is thinking you can just download apps such as heads-up notifications and certain apps to change your lockscreen, hangouts that has support for Group Messaging. But that's the problem Id on't want to install 3rd Party apps that most of the time is laggy and doesn't work right. MIUI did lmost everthing right except minor stuff that is making me change again.
Now I know my post sort of became a rant on android and I'm sorry for that. All I want is a custom ROM that is different. If it's Stock sense that's fine. If it's like MIUI/IOS that's fine preferably no AOSP because AOSP has the least support of apps. I want a ROM that comes with many pre installed apps that the ROM creator made or that he partnered with an app on google play. So that When I get a text like the old Sense 5 where texts would appear on lockscreen(but it only worked with the provided Messaging app which was extremely laggy and disgusting) What i'm trying to say is I want a ROM that makes android SIMPLER, SO i'm not forced to close an app to read a text message or have unlck my phone just to read some notifications.
MY BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH ANDROID is that constantly everyday it lose connection to data. It ****** me of so much. I have to restart my phone just to get data again. It says I have 5 bars but it doesn't say LTE or 4g, and LTE is extremely slow on my android vs my moms iPhone 5.
Again i'm sorry that I went off-topic a alot. If no ROM has that simplicity I guess I'm forced to go to Android Revolution and download 3rd party apps. What apps do you guys recommend? I don't want it to look like IOS. I just want some of the features. What apps look the best(preferably material design) Like messaging apps or alternatives for Twitter or other apps.
Did I post this in the wrong forum?
I probably have terrible English in this post and once again i'm truly sorry!
Thread moved and closed.
"Best ROM" topics are not allowed. This is for a number of reasons, including the obvious huge variation in subjective opinions, which can quickly become out of hand.
As always, since you in the midst of a variety of choices, we suggest you try various ROMs yourself until you find one that suits you.
Thanks, and good luck in your quest.
I also posted this in the ZVB MellowMallow thread, but no one was answering so I'm also posting it here.
The problem I'm having only exists on the MellowMallow ROM. Stock ZVB and ZVC seem to be working fine. Here's what the problem is : The language Korean doesn't display properly. It looks like this : ㅇㅏㄴㄴㅕㅇ, all disconnected and unreadable. The first 3 "letters" of that word SHOULD be combined into one "sub-letter", same goes for the last three.
This is how the letters SHOULD look like : 안녕. (I'll attach images in case the browser is unable to display korean, the first screenshot is how Korean SHOULD look like, second one is how it's displaying in MellowMallow right now, so incorrect.)
This bug can be partially solved by setting the system FONT to something else (settings,system apps and a few other things seem to be working fine with a different font, but Korean apps in the Play store, videos on youtube, Chrome, etc. still have problems displaying Korean properly.)
As for solutions, I tried resetting / wiping cache from recovery mode, going back to stock ZVB (Korean was displaying correctly when I did this, so it looks to be something exclusive to MM) and re-flashing, asking for advice from a local tech forum, and even going to an LG service center to see if they could work something out. Obviously, none of that worked.
I know the developer of the rom stopped development for this phone, but I just see no other way to solve this issue as I have no knowledge on editing build.prop files / things of that nature, so I was just hoping someone could help.

Hi XDA!
I am a recent convert to Android from many years of iPhone usage. I made the plunge by investing in what like among the best if not the best Android phone available, the Note 8. So far I am a very happy camper!
That is until today. This is my fault and not the phones fault however. I forgot the password to the phone which I had written down IN THE PHONE ITSELF (facepalm). I actually bought a notebook to write the password down in last night for this very reason. Lovely coincident happened: My phone discharged during the night so now I need the password to get in. To my question of the day then:
How would i go about opening an .SNM file on a PC?
I have such a file stored in a backup of the phone: C:\Users\**\Documents\samsung\SmartSwitch\backup\SM-N950F\SM-N950F_\SM-N950F_20171104133032\SamsungNotes\SamsungNote.snm.
I am assuming this file contains the notes. Stupidly the passwords were jotted down with the (wonderful) S-Pen so I cannot simply go through it with a hex editor/text editor and look for my files. I need a proper extraction tool/process of some kind to get the images/notes out.
All i have found on the internet refers to opening the (older?) .SNB files which apparently are simply .zip-archives.
Any help would be greatly appreciated indeed!
Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Andreas
Hi again!
Just wanted to share an update incase anyone else is googling after getting themselves into a similar situation or for any other reason need to open their samsung notes files.
What I ended up doing was restoring my backup using Smart Switch to another device I have access to. An S7 to be more precise. One problem that bogged me down however was that the Samsung Notes app on the S7 did not properly load or even recognize the notes it received from the backup, the notes originally made on the note 8. It turns out this was because the note 8 for some reason receives a newer version of samsung notes (2.XX instead of 1.4).
After fiddling around with the backup settings in the .xml files i managed to get it working by sideloading the newer version of Samsung Notes downloaded as an APK and installing that. Then the S7 would load the notes and I could access the info I needed
Silly me for getting into the issue but I am happy I managed to fix it!
Turns out that the stock Samsung Gallery has a secret menu, and it`s easy to enable it, take a look.

Best part is that it runs on One UI 3.1/3.0/2.5 and 2.1 so even earlier devices should benefit.
Test it for yourself and let us know here what you were able to activate or de-activate.
Doesn't do anything on my Note 10+ /Pie.
Damn! Which version are you using (Gallery & One UI)? It should work back to One UI 2.1 - can you try again - you have to aim for the last few digits - I myself did not get it the first time...

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Gallery 10.2.00.19/ One UI vers 10.0.40.6
No go with this version.
Samsung is fond of hidden secret menus. Who knows how many there really are?
I found one by accident over a year ago.
Really? Those goofballs would have you tapping on everything. It's more than just annoying.
Anymore I cringed at updating any Samsung apk other than Wearables. Last update on the Good Lock family of apps left it with dumb looking creepy dancing icons on the main menu and zero tangible functionality improvements.
Small wonder I'm still running Pie; don't need AT&T/Samsung and Google screwing up -my- N10+!
I found a few more in Bixby (allowing capsule test) and S Health (a bit more settings) - still testing them...
Agree - stick on Pie - unless you dont want to test next versions
I finally got it to work. You have to press on the version number several times not the word Gallery. Kind of interesting....
I tried and it did not work, but i tried harder, and being pixel perfect? It did work on A32 latest version.
Works on my S21+ (stock) with all the latest updates. Thanks!
