So Reliance Jio recently announced their "Jio Note Series Offer" and I was wondering if it is possible to temporarily change my device model id to Redmi Note 7 and avail this offer. Can anyone guide me in this by directly explaining or sharing some relevant links? I am using Redmi Note 4x (3gb/32gb) and on Pixel Experience {Pie CAF} and rooted using Magisk.

Because you are on pie, Maybe you need to flash edXposed on your device! Just googling "edxposed on github", download it n flash! Its just like with xposed installer/framework! After installed it, search the " device changer" on edxposed manager, i dont know if its available on there, because i dont try edxposed yet. "Device changer is available on xposed installer so i can argue if it available on the edxposed repo too.
Okay I'll give that a try. Thanks
I have the China variant of S6 Edge. Which probably has the exact same specs as the other variants. I found an interesting custom rom that was originally for Note 8, ported for all the variants of S6 Edge EXCEPT MINE, THE CHINA ONE :'( So I was able to install the port successfully. The phone also boots properly. But once the lock/home screen appears, I can't do anything because the touch doesn't work. My question is, Is there any tweak I can do to the rom.zip file so that I can make the touch work on my device? Like take some attributes from the stock rom and modify it on the custom one?

That's pretty obvious. This is NOT what I'm looking for. I'm asking what change do I have to make to the custom rom so that I can make it compatible with my device. Because it's like the rom is tested for G925F/I/AND_ALMOST_ALL_THE_REST. The official thread doesn't say its tested on G9250 (CHN, TGY, BRI variants). So it's obvious it should not work. But the specs of those variants are very close. So I believe it can be easily ported for my device. Can anyone help me with this?
I am brand new to XDA and the Android mod world. I am looking into the possibility of purchasing, rooting, unlocking the Bootloader and installing either a Custom ROM or AOSP on a SM-N950U T-Mobile US/Snapdragon Samsung Galaxy Note 8. The goal is privacy and the hope is that these elements can be included:
+Latest Android OS possible
+MicroG (no GAPPS)
+SPenCommand* App
+XPosed Framework (for more advanced SPenCommand features)
+F-Droid
+Retain or add back in as much T-Mobile functionality as possible.
*Unless a Samsung based ROM exists retaining S-Pen functionality with no GAPPS.
There will be other Apps/Utilities I am sure, however, this is the main bundle I am desiring. Since I am just starting out, I do have some questions:
+Is all of this possible on the “SM-N950U” Note 8 Model?
+If so, what ROM options are available?
+Is there a LineageOS with MicroG ROM for this phone?
+Does the Note 8’s 80% Battery situation exist using a ROM?
+I’ve read of TWRP and Magisk, do these have any relevance to this process?
+Do you know what “XPosed Framework” Module(s) I would need?
+If all of this needs to be pieced together to work, do you know what files I would need?
+Are there any other apps/files you would suggest?
+Any newbie Tutorials you would recommend?
+Would a Note 4, Note 9 or Note 10+ be better options?
What I have been reading so far is a lot to take in and I appreciate any help received.

Not going to happen. You'll need to do some research because the N950U has a locked bootloader and there is currently NO WAY to unlock the bootloader so you can't flash custom roms like that.. However if you buy the international version which is N950F you'll be able to do that..

Thanks MrMike!
Do you know if the N950F Model can be setup to retain all T-Mobile features like VoLTE, WiFi Calling, etc? Is there a better International Model Note (9 or 10?) that retains or can be configured to work mostly or fully with T-Mobile's Network? I appreciate your time.
The only way you will get those features on International version is if a developer were to include multi csc in the rom you flash

THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH for getting and keeping this device going... IN SPITE OF Samsung's crap!!!

Can I just say, before I even install this, how fantastically awesome it was to see jkruses profile photo when I checked the boards today! It's been since the s7 since I've had the pleasure. F-in A!
Thank you jrkruse, your work is appreciated

If you are flashing U1 firmware you must use the force wipe. There is no way around this unless you want to repackage the AP file of the U1 firmware and remove the userdata.img thats in there.
This is probably a dumb question but after installation of the tar file does it force a reboot of the phone or does auto-reboot need to be checked in Odin?
Thanks

Thanks for the reply. I just bootloader unlocked my Note20 SM-N986U1. I currently have Android 10 installed and would like to stay there for awhile. Is the file USERDATA_AIO_N986_FORCE_WIPE_NO_BL.tar.md5 the one I should used to install TWRP/Root?
OP... I unlocked BL yesterday and did a fresh set-up with your USERDATA_AIO_N986_FORCE_WIPE.tar.md5 for my N20U1... SWEET having everything loaded for us all at once!!!
This morning, after setup and restoring files from Samsung SD (Smart Switch), I attempted to TWRP back-up but got an error each time and no back-up... Has anyone else here gotten errors with TWRP back-up after flash and setup???
Update: Looks like I can back-up Data and Super... Fine enough for right now I guess... I also have TWRP logs as well...
This is failing in ODIN with the following details:
<snip>
This is with the N986U1, and using the USERDATA_AIO_N986_FORCE_WIPE.tar file.
Scratch that. Apparently it was an issue with my USB port. I changed to a different port and was able to flash this. Thanks!

Just wanted to say thank you again and again. Just used your AIO for the first time. I used the first link with 3.0 bootloader for U1, and it worked perfect for flashing from 3.0 U1 XAA fw to an updated 3.0 fw for U TMB. Amazing work jrkruse

I love the tablet, bought two of the 4GB/64GB for $149 each directly from Samsung site.
Well worth the money, I got them for gaming and watching videos, web surfing, really great tablets.

Bought this thinking it was an upgrade from my Galaxy tab a 8.0 but since it's one ui core it's missing many features. Trying to trade it in now but it's past the 15 days. There's no smart view to mirror to any tv easily, theres no network file manager in my files (can't access G drive or any others).
Just make sure you know what you're buying. It's not lite because of being smaller than A7, it's a stripped down OS and the features can't be installed afterwards (have tried many apks). I didn't want a big tablet, wanted a mid size tablet with upgraded CPU.

I agree with that. If you are sure you know what you're buying, the experience of the A7 Lite isn't bad. One UI Core is the same stripped down OS in the regular A7 (Snapdragon 662) and in the A7 Lite. CPU works very fluid if you tweak some settings (default One UI animations are awfully slow). Battery lasts A LOT (8,5-9 hours SOT). Smart View was removed and changed in all One UI devices with the upgrade to Android 11/One UI 3.0 (regular and Core), and it was replaced with Google Cast native screen mirroring (ergo Chromecast).
Use Solid Explorer or Amaze if you want to access network file places. It works well on my side.
Despite being a Mediatek tablet, you wont't find anything MTK-related in the tablet. Samsung has its software very well masked. And I think that, in Helio P22T, Mediatek vulnerabilities have been fixed with security monthly patches.

Just wanted to chime in here and say that I successfully rooted the tablet using the same method for the Lite as the regular A7 using THIS GUIDE. Obviously it tripped Knox but I needed it rooted for my use case. One note is that when you download the stock firmware with an application like Samsung Firmware Downloader, make sure you choose the correct Model and Region. These can be found in the settings on the tablet.
Is it possible to enable Google Discover for default launcher?
I bought Galaxy Tab A7 Lite LTE SM-T225 3/32GB and it works quite nice. Small and good device. Would be cool to see on it clean Android or LineageOS (fingers crossed). There is not too many ~8 inch tablets today with the latest Android version.

I've been working on porting TWRP for AOSP Android 11 to this device but have run into some roadblocks.
I currently have TWRP running but touch is not working and I can't seem to get Data R/W with the current tools available. It's possible it's an error in my build or maybe a workflow problem.
If anyone out there with more experience is doing the same or wants to help me sort some things out, please let me know.
I purchased the SM-T225 LTE 4/64GB model, a good device, but there was a problem on the latest T225XXU1AUH5 & UI3 firmware, specifically with a modem... after the end of the call, the mobile network disappears, and after rebooting Baseband Unknown Flashing does not help, only resetting the data helps, but before the next call... The device had Root rights, but is now installed stock firmware and blocked the bootloader, but the problem remains... At the same time, if you install the old modem UDA,UE3,UF2 , it works without problems... Has anyone encountered anything like this?
My only disappointment is that knox is included. I came from tab A 8.0 2019 which has no knox
