S5 Mini (G800H) Permissive Kernel anyone? - Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I need a custom *permissive* kernel that works with Android Marshmallow Stock Rom on a Galaxy S5 Mini DuoS (G800H) - G800HXXU1CQC1 ...
I've searched the internet since weeks now, and found NOTHING, and compiling one myself is way too complicated for a Windows user like me.
Can ANYBODY *PLEASE* help me with this & tell me where I can download or get such a kernel? Or maybe... compile one for me? Enforcing mode seems to be hard-coded in the Samsung Marshmallow version, so this is the only way to get around it.
Or if you know any other options I could use to change to permissive mode, please let me know. IMPORTANT: please only in the form, "Yes, I own a G800H with Marshmallow on it, have tested it, and it works, and here is how to do it: ...". I've tried out enough by myself already, including all 'Permissive Switcher' apps, and nothing worked, so please no 'guessing' or 'suggestions'.
Also, are there any custom ROMs for the G800H (*NOT the F version!) available with a version newer than Marshmallow? (Nougat and up) Why is there so horribly little stuff for the G800H available?? I can't find anything (maybe I'm just too dumb, can anybody support links?)

[Q] T-Mobile Galaxy Tab - Few Questions

Hi guys, just this week I got a new Galaxy Tab from T-Mobile, so far so good, but I have a few questions about it.
1-) This is my first time using Android, is there a better version or ROM for this particular tab (or another that is fully compatible) which I should flash into it which is better or gives me more functionality than the default Android installation that T-Mobile puts on it?
2-) How are upgrades of Android OS obtained? I heard 3.0 is out, any ideas if Samsung or T-Mobile will make it available on these devices?
3-) Can "Line2" be used with it? I noticed when I'm connected to Wi-Fi at home Line2 works, but when I'm connected to 3G it wont work.
4-) Is it easy to install Themes on the Galaxy Tab, any tutorials?
5-) Any specific tricks/tweaks or apps, that are a must have for Galaxy Tab owners?
Thanks in advance!

I also just got my SGT T-mobile. What is the model number of your tablet? What is the Baseband version of your tablet? Have you rooted yours?
Mine's model is SGH-T849, Baseband T849UVJJB, and yes, I downloaded a program from this board which supposedly roots it, after installing and running the commands it said it had successfully rooted my device, now how do I know if it is really rooted?
Also what's the Baseband? lol sorry but I'm lost, this is my first ever tablet and also first ever Android OS device.

We both have the same model and baseband. I'm not sure what baseband is. You can check to see if your tablet is rooted by going to Applications and look around to see if you can find a Superuser icon.
If it's rooted, I guess your next step is to find a custom ROM and flash it.
Do you remember what you used to root your tablet? Was it SuperOneClick?
Yes, it was the SuperOneClick one from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=812367
Baseband is the modem you have. The modem controls the phone, wirelass data, wifi, and bluetooth. Yours is JJB.

Well, I'm not an expert but here is my experience:
1. You should flash the new Overcome experience Hermes:
http://overcome.mimzo.com/
There is also the unofficial cyanogenmod beta, but as you said the overcome is fully compatible and it will not change the feel of the Tab, just adds to the functionality.
2. The updates are two types:
# Official, these are over the air and you will find notifications in the notification area to tell you that there is a new update, or may be through kies for Samsung.
# Unofficial, which is basically flashing other ROMs whether official or custom.
# As for Android 3.0 (which is called honeycomb), it is not officially coming to the Tab. May be after the 3.2 announced a couple of days ago, but I still don't think so. Still, you might want to follow this thread as there are trials to get it fully working on the Tab:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1122959
3. I don't have any idea about this, as I got mine used and then I rooted and flashed it the day I got it.
4. Of course there are themes for the Android. This Overcome I was telling you about has a Gold theme. There are a lot of ways to get themes on the Tab. I myself use different home launchers with different themes. You don't need to flash anything if you are just looking to change the looks of your device. Check this out and let me know if you like it:
Go Launcher EX https://market.android.com/details?id=com.gau.go.launcherex&feature=search_result
There are a lot other but this is my favorite. You can even change the fonts of the display.
5. The most common used tips and tweaks that you should use is over-clocking/ under-volting which gives you more speed and less battery drainage.
As for the apps, these are my favorites:
Tango, Photfunia, ezPDF reader, Movies (or IMDB), Springpad (or Catch), File Expert, Go Launcher, Go weather, Google Goggles, Google Shopper, Just reader, Splashtop, Plex, GrooveIP. I guess there are more on my device but these are the ones that I found more functional and fun to use.
Hope this helps...
Thanks rangercaptain,
Hey ahmadshawki, thanks so much, I will check out all of your suggestions, does overcome comes with Gingerbread?

Any 2.2 rom is froyo (frozen yogurt).
Any 2.3 rom is gingerbread.
You can have either "flavor". They are both in the development section. Both are highly recommended.
Hi guys,
I've been visiting this forum for more than 6 months now, but I think this is my first post. I have a T-Mobile SGH-T849 GT-P1000.
Last year I unlocked it and changed it to a Gingerbread Euro. Below is the current setup:
Firmware version 2.3.3
Baseband version P1000XXJPZ
Kernel version 2.6.35.7 [email protected] #2
Build number GINGERBREAD.XXJQ1
Tab has been working fine, with the exception of:
- often does not remember wi-fi hotspots automatically, need to switch off/on wi-fi to do this
- 3G & phone works erratically. I don't use it as a phone, but those times that I tried I noticed the phone would loose connectivity to the mobile network and needed a reboot in order to fix it.
I'd like to upgrade it to Ginger 2.3.6, but which rom should I use? I checked on the forum, but I'm not sure if I should use this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1380595&page=3
or any other.
Is my modem correct or should I use this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=902323&page=4
to install JL5 modem?
Sorry for the noob questions.
I have a galaxy tab 7+ sgh-t869 I need to chance my build prop in order to play order and chaos online it doesn't support operating system I have no idea how to chance it or what to change it to please help thanks

[Q] Enable init.d for P1010

Hi guys,
I found this superb script and I'd love to apply it to my P1010 but I failed at enabling init.d for my current rom (Stock Froyo ZTKC2)
I tried this method but failed.
Is there anyone succeeded in enabling init.d for Galaxy Tab P1010 (Wifi only)?
Please guide me if you did!
Regards,
Hans
30 views but no answer yet.
P1010 really doesn't have much options to tweak
As of now there seems to be no development for the device, maybe after gingerbread (if there is and update) some dev will look for some goodies.
For what I know there is a metod to enable script loading at boot for stock ROMs with no init.d, but I'm still waiting for a way to backup my stock ROM to try. My ROM is no were to be found for a restore if some thing goes wrong.
If you feel brave here it is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1017291
Just remember it's at your own risk and it was tested on a motorola phone.
Thanks, Solaris. But I already tried that method and it didn't work.
Have to wait for the new Gingerbread (if it has) then

[Q] IR blaster in lollipop?

Hello I looked and didn't see any posts about this so forgive me if I'm mistaken. Has anyone figured out a way to get the IR blaster working on the newer 5.0.1 ROMs or will it possibly be addressed in the newer versions? If anyone has a fix please comment. This is a wonderful feature of our phone that I would hate to see go to waste! If I can help (test) anyone working on devolping a fix please let me know.
I don't know about the custom roms but I tried it earlier today on the Developer Edition rom (Lollipop 5.0.2) and it worked fine. I never tested it on 5.0.2 GPE either even when I had it installed.
Thank you. I noticed the file in sysfs (irdc I believe) it is set to disabled (no way to enable). Can you point me in the direction of the ROM you have?

Roll back Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 T719 T719XXU1BRA1 from 7->6 - correct firmware advice

Roll back Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 T719 T719XXU1BRA1 from 7->6 - correct firmware advice
Hi,
Sorry for a noob question, just want to make sure I don't get this wrong as I've not reflashed a tablet before and I can't find an answer that specifically addresses this question.
My Samsung Galaxy TAB S2 8.0 T719 4G 32GB Qualcomm 3072 MB is running Android 7.0 and I have a must-use app that won't get along with anything above Android 6, so I need to downgrade.
The Baseband version of the tablet is T719XXU1BRA1.
I'm in the UK, the tablet has LTE, which I need, and it should be unlocked to all networks. It was supplied by Amazon UK but I suspect it's not a UK specific model.
I've searched for 6.x ROMs for this specific version, but cannot find one that exactly matches the model number and I'm not sure if any T719 version will do (eg I think some are network-specific or aren't for LTE-equipped versions).
I'd be happy using an official Samsung 6.x ROM if it'll retain app functions that are blocked by a rooted phone (my bank's app wont work on a rooted phone, for instance) but I'd really like one that gave me control to remove the bloatware and keep things clean, even if that meant sacrificing the bank app functionality.
Can anyone point me towards the specific ROM I should use for either route?
Thanks very much.
J
You can use any T719 rom,only old 6.0.1. available.
Choose from here,slow download but it works https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-tab-s2/SM-T719/
It will be unbranded,all languages available for European roms( e.g Romania)
The only problem that can occur is the bootloader.
On newer Samsung devices it doesn't allow to downgrade.
You can try with Odin.

Shouldn't need to downgrade the bootloader as they are usually backwards compatible with the previous OS version.
Just flash AP.
As for root and apps refusing to work, Magisk hide can handle most of them.

My Samsung J7 Prime doesn't have the update - Can anyone suggest how can we update it to new OS.?
Currently, I had Kitkat OS.

The J7 Prime was launched with Android 6 (marshmallow) - how can it be on KitKat 4.4 ???
Are u sure about your phone is original? U are from Pakistan? This should be G610F or G610DD.
Download this app - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo&hl=en
Make a screenshot of your specs and upload it here.

Download the firmware for your phone model from here - http://live.samsung-updates.com/
For example here is the model F list - http://live.samsung-updates.com/index.php?device=SM-G610F
Search how to use Odin and flash the most recent.
You don't need root to do this.

1. You can try any region you want. Better install TWRP first, as described below. Choose language from settings. Region gives only some CSC (Google it) features.
2. To flash custom kernel you need custom recover, like TWRP.
3. I don't know.
4. Depends on what you want: stock with Odin, custom kernel and ROM with TWRP.
As an advice - read a lot to learn before you do anything, to be sure you understand what you're about to do. It's on your responsibility of your own actions. Every phone is unique, what works for me may give you issues. It can be the other way around too.
Best thing to be sure is to have TWRP installed, backup the EFS and the system at least. If you read about this, you'll understand why it's very important.
Then you can try to flash another ROM custom or official.
Then you can test the new ROM, see if you like it. Leave it for a few days so that the adjustment of the kernel is OK. If you don't like it, you can always go back and flash the backup ROM from TWRP.
Also you may use the Smart Switch for PC to downland the original latest firmware for your phone. Search on how to use this program.
Good luck.
thanks man. i appreciate your help.
