After trying multiple TouchWiz-based roms (namely Naked TouchWiz and the debloated TouchWiz ported over from T-Mobile), I can't seem to get the IR blaster to work. It seems to work on the stock ROM that came with the phone, but it's trying to force me into the 5.0 OTA update so I'd like to stay away from that if possible. Has anyone else experienced this issue?
Greetings all. Just a quick question....I just got my new S2 Tab (TMobile) and it's on 5.0.x.
I'm reluctant to update it to 5.1.1 if it doesn't need to. From what I've seen so far there are ROM's only for the 9.7" on 5.1.1.
Are we able to roll back to 5.0.x with ease or is it a one way ticket to 5.1.1?
Is there a firmware version to avoid, where it would lock the bootloader to only being able to use 5.1.1 and up from that point on after the flash?
* I'm not a fan of LP to begin with, but am having to live with it like we all are on the Tab S2. The closer to KK the better, for me....as things are getting more and more locked down stripping us from our Android freedom, I'd like to stay as far back on 5.0.x as possible.
I must be able to run xposed, xprivacy and other work apps without issues or doing gymnastics just to get it to work, hence why I want to stay as close to 5.0.x as possible. Even though I may be able to run such apps on 5.1.1 as well.... I'm trying to stay away from 5.1.1 unless there are some doubtful advantages over 5.0.x.
Thanks.
I'd say no real advantage to 5.1.1 if you have a stable 5.0.2.
Rolling back shouldn't be an issue as long you don't flash a revision 2 Firmware.
No reason to be on either now, upgrade to MM 6.0.1 , more responsive all around.

Thanks. I've just got another 9.7" Tab S2 (64GB) and it is on BOJ1 (Released: 8/10/2015)
The ROM's for the 9.7" S2 are for BOH7 (Released: 8/31/2015)
I am wanting to roll back to 5.0.2, however, I actually do not see any ROM's (9.7") for it. I must have confused the 5.0.2 ROM specifically for the 8" S2, being for the 9.7" as well...oops...
Okay so for now it looks like I have to odin (BOH7) to run one of the few 5.1.1 ROM's available for the 9.7" ...
I am downloading the BOH7 firmware from here. This is the right one yes? Also, this is free of revision 2?
Also, how do I make sure to avoid the revision 2 firmwares?
Thanks.
So I recently made an update from Android 7.1.1 to Android 9, but Samsung One UI is total garbage. But downgrading to Android 7.1.1 is not a good alternative due to security patches you can only get with newer Android version apparently. I don't really want to use a Custom ROM as the stock ROM is good for everyday use. My question is, is it possible to get an older design layout like Samsung Experience 8.5 (Android 7.1.1 UI) or TouchWiz Nature 4.0 UX ( S5 UI, as this is my most favourite design). I guess you can't uninstall One UI and install a different UI. Nova Launcher would be an option but it doesn't give the exact same layout from Experience 8.5 or TouchWiz. My Google search wasn't really successful as there are no real good ways to get this UI. Are there other possibilities to get it or am I stuck and can't do anything about it?
My phone's baseband version is : N920CXXU5CRL1
I cant find myself a suitable rom for me. I want it to close to stock android rom as possible but higher version of it since samsung gave up on releasing more updates on note5.
I want to find android 9.0 but no root or extra features sole android 9.0 because I play a game called Fate grand order which is nightmare of all rooting and custom roms.
Also is it possible to install higher version of android without changing kernel on it?
Hello! I've got a Galaxy Tab SCH-I800 and I've been trying to upgrade it to Lollipop or higher. It seems the last working ROM I can find is CM10 (which I currently have running on my device). Most custom ROMs I see aren't for P1C, unfortunately. LineageOS also does not seem to have any builds that support P1C.
Does anyone know if there's a ROM out there for it? Or are there any resources someone could point me to in order to modify a ROM in order to have it work with P1C? I'm pretty experienced in the field of programming, but I'm not super knowledgeable regarding what goes into making or modifying a ROM.
Thanks so much!
