Hey Guys,
I have a couple questions about this android box I purchased that's had me somewhat puzzled.
I have been an avid android user over the past many years. I am familiar with flashing tons of roms to all the phones I have had. Except my s6, it just sucks for roms. Anyways I have purchased the android box in this link (can't post links this new) I can't seem to fine a manufacturer website, I've Google a million things about the box and searched but I can't find anything. even in the instruction book there's no website or anything.
basically I'm looking to figure out how to at least update this box. there's no option in about device. also I don't like how the flash drive on the device is split into nand flash and regular storage. I would like to merge them all into one. I am also looking for custom roms that might enable me to achieve that, however nowhere I look has this box in their forums or anywhere. maybe it's a cloned box? there are other boxes that have the exact same components (or so they say) with custom firmware, however I don't want to chance it and rich bricking this device.
anyone that can offer any help or lead me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. thank you in advance!

I just picked up one of these about a week ago and found instructions to install TWRP and update SuperSU. The box had 'root' out of the box but it was some specialized root based on an old version of SuperSU (1.93 I believe).
I have successfully installed TWRP 2.8.7.0 and updated to SuperSU 2.46.
Since this is just an android tablet essentially, does anyone know if you can flash these ROMs through TWRP?
Not to my knowledge, just use above tool. It will go alive once you are in bootloader with usb otg cable connected to win (of course with driver pack etc. installed). Titanium or else can do that, instead of trying to press reset button while powering on. Of course recovery will go back to default.

Are you running liamstears custom ROM or the 12/22 factory firmware?
The split internal storage is something I would like to do without, but I was wondering if it was changed on the 12/22 factory firmware?
12/22 firmware. Fast and stable.
Havent tried liamstears yet. Feedback if you do please.
awesome thanks! thats what I suspected when I was going through the firmwares for these devices. I just wasn't sure if the z4 rk3368 device would work on this one. I've seen a few brands with z4 and as I know with phones.. wrong brand and you're bricked lol. anyways.. I ended up buying a tronsmart vega s95 telos.. but it didn't come rooted. so I rooted it and now I'm getting play services force close and all sorts of bugs and errors.. maybe I'll just keep the z4. it seems to work better.
what link did you follow to get twrp installed?? same thing I'm guessing, punch z4 twrp in google and eventually come upon the right place.
12/22 factory firmware? mines stuck at Nov 10 I think.. it won't let me update using the rk settings app.. which is why I was fed up with it in the first place lol.
12/22 firmware. Unified 16gb App storage. More available with microsd card. Fully functional Kodi with channels, etc. 4k HEVC x265 movies. Youtube 1080p.
Easiest method to update rom is to put extracted update.img from zip file
http://chinagadgetsreviews.blogspot.ro/2016/01/download-latest-android-lollipop-511.html?m=1
on a sdcard / usb and boot. After about a minute into the Android desktop, system will ask for update prompt. Only applicable to system still with default recovery.
If you have some stability issues or with different recovery, you can backup your apps / data with Titanium etc. and then use above Factory tool restore new rom.
These roms usually come with their own recovery, but some modded ones with TWRP/full root, supersu and all. But you dont really need them.
thanks a lot man! I'm downloading right now and will test it on my box tomorrow after work!
I've tried 100 times and it just keeps saying failed to mount /mnt/external_sd (no such device)
I'm using my USB flash drive.
this is becomming a huge pain in the just to update I'm starting to think why this company can make these products and not have any support or anything for it . and that flash tool is in mandarin and I can't even figure out how to work that. I put in the update.img and press go.. but whenever I try to boot to download mode like you mentioned in one of the posts it just turns off the box.. this thing is literally a piece of junk. and so is this tronsmart vega s95.. same thing. it's extremely frustrating. whoever developed this z4 box did a really chappy job on the firmware.. and I do not recommend it to anyone..
If you had gone through the instructions pdf, it clearly shows how to change into English by pressing the World icon. Remember in bootloader mode the tv screen would be black, if you are using the tool. The big red button will turn into green to show readiness.
For automatic update you dont even have to go into recovery as seen in attached image. Easiest.
Hi Roland,
love to see that there are already XDA-members looking at the Z4 TV box. I have just ordered one and hope to get it within a few weeks. Just some dumb questions, hoping you can provide me with some information:
- I see that there are several 'versions' of the Z4: for instance Acemax, but I have ordered the Andoer. Are those just different manufacturers?
- Are there any differences in model/content (installed app's) per manufacturer?
- If my Andoer turned out to have an older firmware than the 22/12, could I still use the Acemax 22/12 firmware you refered to in your link?
- Kodi will be preinstalled, I saw. I do not know what version of Kodi that will be, but can it just be updated to the most recent version in the Google Play Store?
- I do not know what other apps are installed, but is it possible to de-install apps you do not need, or are they part of the firmware and impossible to delete
I know, part of the answers I surely will discover once I got the Z4, but I just can't wait to start experimenting, even it is only in my mind
Thanks in advance!
Jos
hi Roland
I tried that batch tool first which is the one I couldn't change languages in lol. but the other tool with the red button I changed into English. however I did not know that it would remain blank when in download mode. I will have to give it one more go tonight with it. I figured that I loaded it into bootloader and the z4 box light turned red so I thought it was off and didn't load to bootloader.
I also did the USB update and it would just fail on me every time I used it. the update prompt did come up and I pressed install. perhaps I need to check if USB debugging is on. I think it is but it wouldn't hurt to check. but I think I will have to go through the factory tool to update way for sure.
thanks for your help roland, I will write back after I give it another go tonight!
i can't find the 22/12 update ! can anybody share the link direct to firmware ?
@DriftJos
l have got an Andoer too. Most of these brands come from the same hardware factory and thus have the same specs/apps.
Yes you will use the same firmware https://mega.nz/#!JBBXgDgC!VSra8Hc6KR77Pvdw67eDpjeT_ku-TXdYgYaInSAfyvU (direct link @prisim) or several user dev roms. Unified 16gb app storage etc and the works.
You can uninstall bundled Kodi (by Titanium free etc.) by official Kodi Jarvis 16.0 beta 5 & such with pass-through support test builds @ http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=252852
Again you will be able to uninstall useless apps directly or through Titanium.

@mikekuel25
Always mention the firmware version you are having and which recovery? The automatic update should work if you still have the factory recovery.
Check the FactoryTool process in attached images.
I'm trying to flash the firmware that I downloaded from that China gadgets site that was mentioned on this thread. I think it's the stock 12/22 for the device. and I have stock recovery.
I extracted the update.exe file and saved it to my USB drive plugged it in and restarted. relieved the update prompt. chose install update and it rebooted into recovery and tried to apply the update but it fails. I'm not ready to give up yet with this device lol. it's just another platform I have to learn. it took me a bit with smartphones to figure it out back in the day.. perhaps it's the same thing now..
and I'm updated to 12/22.. awesome. those pictures really helped me man thanks.
now as for installing twrp and all that. you mentioned that it's not really needed? I'm assuming I can flash any rom given they are in .img format using factory tool. however the benefit of twrp would be an easier interface for creating nandroid backups and clearing cache/factory reset. perhaps I will install it. i might give leamstears rom a try. I will let you know how it is if I do.
thanks again!
so I updated to the new 12/22.. everything works fine except with Google play store.. I keep getting a can't retrieve source error with everything I try to download. I've refreshed and factory reset the firmware 5 times now and kept trying.
so I got fed up with the stock so I tried leamstears rom and it works great.. except sometimes it just becomes completely unresponsive. I'm starting to think there is something wrong with this box. even on stock firmware from the box I've been having issues with unresponsive freezing.
what do you think of the nvidia shield?

The PlayStore error you were seeing is because the 12/22 firmware comes with a *very* old version (5.2.x). The PlayStore will eventually update everything to the latest version by itself but if you don't want to wait, go over to apkmirror.com and download PlayStore 6.0.5 and install it manually. Once you do, it should also update the Play Services to 8.4.x and your should be good to go. I had this issue as well but I had seen it before and knew I needed to update.
So far the 12/22 version has been great, and having the unified internal storage is a huge plus.
If you feel so inclined, knowing that some of the custom builds of Kodi take up a large amount of space... there is this trick that was introduced in Helix:
http://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Change data location for Android
This will allow you to have only the Kodi app on internal storage (~125 MB) and any data from addons/programs etc. in another location (such as an external SD).
I often
1. Install Kodi on internal storage
2. Zip up the contents of org.xbmc.com directory
3. Copy it to external storage
4. Unzip it in /external_sd/kodi_data
5. Create the xbmc_env.properties file that references my Kodi data location.
6. Delete the contents of /sdcard/Android/data/org.xbmc.com/
Voila! You have freed up internal storage.... You can also persist a Kodi setup this way or run multiple custom installs. If you re-image your media box, you can re-install Kodi and as long as the xbmc_env.properties points to your external_sd with your Kodi data, it will start right up back into your setup... :good:
[ROOT] [MAGISK] Google Dialer (v31.0) & Google Contacts (v2.4.6) - March 27th, 2019
last update Oct 27, 2018
last updated in LG-V30 apps section Mar 27, 2019
OCTOBER 1ST 2018
hey guys, I'm moving this to the V30 apps section, and will continue to keep it updated.
All future releases will work on your V20, and most likely any other android phone as well.
There are magisk modules (safer) and arm versions (for older devices) are there now too!
~syndre
Link to continued thread in LG-V30 apps forum
My shared drive folder url will not change, so you can bookmark it or import it into your own google drive "shared with me"
Change log:
This should work on any phone running android 7.0+ (and maybe marshmallow too). I have a V20 and only test on that, so i'm posting this here. This post is the one Ill keep updated.
OK,
If you havent noticed, the Play Store page for the Nougat version of Google Dialer says "Your device isn't compatible with this version." And even trying to manually install the apk gives a similar error.
In short, if you flash the app into your system partition in TWRP recovery, it works just fine. I have packed a flashable zip that does just that.
This does not remove anything you have, like the LG dialer or contacts app. It only adds Google's Phone app as a separate "Phone"
September 28th, 2018
Updated APK's to Phone v24 and Contacts v3.0.7
regular /system flashable zip HERE

Magisk Module I put together HERE
sorry it took so long
using either of these methods will allow you to download updates from the play store
June 15th, 2018
I was offered 4 different new updates from the Play Store today, and this post deserves an update, so here it is.
arm64 version of the dialer for our V20 and other arm64 phones (majority of you will want this one), the exact version of the apk's in the zip are:
Phone-com.google.android.dialer-2733912-v21.0.200268810.apk
Contacts-com.google.android.contacts-2115124-v2.8.4.199714199.apk
Download Link
arm version for your older phones still being used, I dont know why the contacts version is slightly different, but the apk's included are:
Phone-com.google.android.dialer-2733910-v21.0.200268810.apk
Contacts-com.google.android.contacts-2115123-v2.8.4.199714199.apk
Download Link
These apks are all (nodpi) in case anyone was wondering.
Finally, again, I update my zip files 3-4 times more often than this post gets updated. I upload everything else not seen here to a shared Google Drive folder which is available using this link, so if you're expecting an update that isn't noted here, theres a good chance that it'll be in there.
Have a good summer!

Contacts-com.google.android.contacts-2.3.7.175176256-2059755
I still havent had a chance to thoroughly test the video calling or screen sharing features with this version of the Dialer and Google Duo, but I know its active. You'll need Duo installed (get from play store) to have access to that stuff. I'm interested in if/how well itcom.google.android.contacts_2.5.4.186070557-2083760_minAPI21(nodpi) works or if theres any hiccups with those new things.
You can download from my shared Google Drive folder here [url]https://goo.gl/67uQN9[/URL]
the file is named Google_Phone.v14.0-arm64_Contacts.v2.3.7_(nodpi)-NOV282017-flashable.zip
Clicking the file name here is a direct link to it.
You should be able to just flash this new zip over any previous versions that were from this thread without any problems. If you do that and something isn't working, try wiping the data from both phone and contacts apps, then do a dalvik/cache wipe if problem persists. If something is still wrong after that, let me know. I dirty flashed without wiping anything and my dialer seems to function as it should.
Questions, comments, problems? Leave a reply and I'll get back to you soon.
November 4th, 2017
Today I was offered an update to the Google Phone app through the Play Store and it caught me off guard, because the version I was running was only 3 days old at the time. I accepted of course and immediately noticed that the APK file was a little bit over twice the file size as what I've been working with previously, interest was piqued. I started it up and it started saying stuff about integrated video calling with Google Duo, I went through the steps and it seems to be working but haven't really called anybody and tried it for real.
So that is why I am asking for you guys is help and feedback with this version in particular, if you want to test it out and see if everything works please get back to me as soon as it's convenient. I don't know at this point if I got this because everybody is getting it and it's a new release from them or if it's because of some other tweak that I have done on my phone and activated something different somehow. I'm pretty exhausted, coming down, and need a 2-day nap.
The file size for the zip is too big to keep posting on XDA, unfortunately, so I will provide a link to a shared folder on my Google Drive where are will start keeping all over releases from now on (theylll still be here to when possible)
The link to that folder I mentioned is here https://goo.gl/fQphzb file named Google_Phone.v13.0[Duo.Integration].arm64_Contacts.v2.2.3_(nodpi)-nov042017-flashable.zip
I feel like some kind of warning should come with this one because like I said I don't know if it is something I did on my phone that made this happen or if it's going out to everybody. So let me know!
October 31st, 2017
Ive been planning on making this into a Magisk module for awhile and got around to it finally. The magisk version is exactly the same as the latest non-magisk zip posted here, except its systemless. If you would like to switch from a previous install to the magisk version, just flash the remove zip (also new) and install the magisk module. You can to that without losing anything as far as app data goes by installing the magisk mod FIRST from magisk manager, then immediately rebooting into recovery and flash the remove zip.
Updated Dialer to v13.0.171616398

August 9th 2017
Updated Dialer to v11.0.164102751-arm64
and Contacts to v2.1.2.163775758-all
Framework is included.
Everything appears to be working without any issues for me after flashing the zip attached below.
July 9th 2017
I am positive "Nearby Places" is working on my V-20 using this (different from everything Ive used before today) framework file.
Instead of putting new zips of everything from my last July 4th update, I am just attaching that different framework separately.
If you are experiencing broken "Nearby Places", try flashing any of the below attached v9 or below zips 1st,
Then flash UPDATE-google_dialer_framework_only-2017-07-01.zip 2nd and see if this works for you.
July 4th 2017
I added a few new zip files with different versions of the Dialer app. I hope anyone having problems like what I have read from your posts in this thread can find one that works the way you're expecting. All of the apks are directly from apkmirror, no mods.
There are zips with version 8 and 9 and 10 of the Phone app. They are the same except for the dialer.
UPDATED June10th 2017
Phone .v10.0.155920708
and
Contacts.v2.0.9-200091
both of these apks are from apkmirror
flashable zip is attached to this post
sort of UPDATED June 4th 2017
no zip yet but you can upgrade to Phone v10 using instructions I posted here
I will provide a one step flashable zip attached here as soon as I can get (the patience to get) one working. It will be a week or so before I can play with a clean ROM.
If anyone out there figures it out and can provide a tested, working zip file, Id be happy to post and give you credit.

Side note when installing there will be an update for the dialer in the play store but it will install just fine as normal
Thanks for posting this OP
It keeps foreclosing ?
Yeah unfortunately on my H910 it crashes pretty often. I just decided to remove it because it was much more of a hassle than convenience.
It seems like some that have the T-Mobile H918 don't have much of an issue with it, but I can't confirm that.

Thanks for sharing! Ive been using just the dialer app going back to my G3, usually on AOSP (so there was never an issue getting google contacts from the play store).
I hope you dont mind and by all means let me know if you do, I modified your zip with the newest versions of both the Dialer and Contacts apps that will work properly on 7.0 Nougat. I have flashed the attached zip in TWRP on my V20 and tested everything without any issues. I can only assume these 2 apps wont be able to be upgraded on our device until we have 7.1.
Anyways, thanks again, the updated zip is attached, inside is:
com.google.android.contacts_1.6.20-106201_minAPI21(nodpi)
com.google.android.dialer_5.1.131226882-405721_minAPI23(nodpi)
nicely done guys going to try with my s7 edge on nougat.
works great.
Gonna give this a shot now as well, thanks OP and others who've contributed..!

If you havent noticed, the Play Store page for the Nougat version of Google Dialer says "Your device isn't compatible with this version." And even trying to manually install the apk gives a similar error.
In short, if you flash the app into your system partition in TWRP recovery, it works just fine. I have packed a flashable zip that does just that.
apk version = GoogleDialer_5.1.131226882-405721_minAPI23(nodpi)
download the zip from MEGA
This does not remove anything you have, like the LG dialer or contacts app. It only adds Google's Phone app as a separate "Phone"

So everything works just fine, except for the voice mail part of the dialer.. When I click "settings" i get a force close.. Any fix for that..?? I just had removed the VVM.apk from the WETA rom in an attempt to use a newer VVM.apk, and ended up losing the app all together.. I even extracted the VVM folder from the WETA rom zip file and moved that over, and still doesn't work so I dont know what happened there.. So I just set up Google Voice, but I'd rather stick with a native voice mail if I could..
Thanks..!
edit - ok so while in the pixel phone app, and on the voicemail tab, instead of clicking "settings" and getting a FC, i clicked "ok" and it closed that pop up message, and in an effort to test it out i sent myself a voicemail from another phone and it actually seemed like my phone reinstalled the factory voice mail app that i managed to delete yesterday on accident.. Now the only thing here is that my phone now sends voicemail's to that factory voice mail app and not the pixel xl voicemail tab.. Anyone else have this issue..??
actually missed call notification is not working on s7 edge on nougat...
Also noticed another lil bug..
When I put my phone to my face, it doesn't turn the screen off anymore..

this is all related to the zip deleting important call info,
after testing it for a few hours i removed it due to it being broken fundementally.
Its removing your call apps that handle proximity sensors etc,
this would need to be changed.
if you open the zip, take the apks themselves and merge them to your system folder in their perspective spots,
DONT DELETE ANYTHING. If you already flashed this then re-flash your rom 1st.
After moving the apps to their spots, use Titanium backup or other similar app to freeze the 2 or 3 apps the updater zip deletes.
this way the connections to the sensors wont break, notifications etc should work, if you want to use stock you can just unfreeze the stock apps and remove or freeze the google ones.
i was going to post a updated method but after the hack i caught over testing it ill just refrain from that.

Ohhhh, so it's awesome, but has it's set backs at the same time lol..
Thanks for the detailed info on how to "fix" it, I'll give it a shot.. I did already flash the zip, but I'm testing out some diff roms today so once I find one I wanna play with for a week or so, I'll follow these instructions and hopefully be back in business..!
Thanks again!
Installed it on my Tmobile LG G4. Works likes a charm.
So I flashed it. Dialer opens. But once I grant it phone permissions the app opens and immediately crashed. I don't get a FC message. But the app opens up and then immediately closes itself. Anyone else have this issue? It was working fine on the last Rom I was using. Now I'm using NSS 5.5 which its not working on.
This is a port of LineageOS 14.1 for the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 7.0 (2016) LTE SM-T285. LineageOS needs no introduction, it essentially a rename from CyanogenMod due to naming issues.
5.1.1 is the best that you can get from samsung right now and it is not known if they plan to do any upgrades. I have absolutely no idea why samsung chose to stay with the outdated 5.1.1 mid 2016 when we already got 7.1 coming out. This custom rom is probably the best you can get if you want an upgrade from Lollipop. Performance on the latest build is also better, you be the judge.
I don't recommend you use this as a daily driver, but it should be good enough for some. Make sure you read the pending issues below and decide if this is acceptable to you before you flash this rom.
Based off on LineageOS 14.1 sources which is based on Nougat 7.1.2

- There is a bug where pattern unlock won't show up even when you swipe up in the lockscreen. As a workaround make sure you select "Directly show pattern view" in the "pattern unlock settings" page (Click on the settings knob besides the Screen Lock option). If you somehow forget to do this, you can click on a notification to force pattern unlock to show up, if you don't have notifications, connect your device to USB and the charing notification should show up.
Update Feb 11, 2017
===============
- Improved graphics, HW composer, gralloc built from source and updated Mali drivers
- F2FS support for data partition
Update Jan 31, 2017

- MTP
- Camera (Stills capture works with 3rd party apps)
- Bluetooth
- Wifi Hotspot
Does not work:
- video recording (sometimes works with 3rd party apps like open camera)
- GPS (no fix)
Issues
* Stability issues and some boot loops (Try to disable hardware GPS, or location services which may solve it)
* Wifi and network performance issues when both bluetooth and wifi is on and vice versa (needs confirmation from testers). I'm not sure if this problem also happens under stock. So if someone can give me feedback that would be appreciated.
* Setting alarms using the stock clock app will crash your tablet, use third party apps instead (this is a bug in upstream LineageOS and not related to this device)
Not essential but still needs to worked on
- HW encoders (06/26/2017 hw decoders now supported)
Other Notes:
- selinux permissive
Most of the issues are fixable, I just need more time and encouragement
SM-T280 Users: Unfortunately this rom would probably not work on it since the SM-T285 and SM-T280 have different kernels and slightly different hardware. I don't have access to this device so it would be hard for me to port it over. However I believe there are a lot of similiarities in the device tree that can be shared. If a dev with the SM-T280 is interested I can probably help.
Download
========
Remember flashing an unofficial ROM on your samsung device will probably void your warranty, Samsung representatives will probably not be able to help you as they are still stuck at 5.1.1 land as of now and have no idea how to handle a SM-T285 that is running 7.1.
As always flash this at your own risk. Make sure you have a copy of the stock ROM so that you have something to fall back to, which is highly the case when using an experimental rom.
See DevDB download section. Or get the latest version LINEAGE-OMS-14.1-20181117-UNOFFICIAL-SMT285-ALPHA.zip
For Older Versions/OMS builds see downloads sections:
All Downloads
Note that this rom is pure stock and does not come with the Play Store or any Gapps, I suggest you download a micro gapps package separately and install it via recovery.
There have been reports that recent versions of open gapps don't work properly, it is advised to use older versions instead (e.g. open_gapps-arm-7.1-nano-20161109.zip)
Installation Instructions
==================
Perform a backup of all of your important files. This ROM is experimental and I will not be responsible for your loss of data.
Download the zip file and extract the tar.
Use Odin/Heimdall to flash the tar file to your device. If you are coming from stock or another rom make sure you wipe first using TWRP. DO NOT USE twrp to flash these zip files, they are not configured for that.
Root and customization/ Build Guide
===================
LineageOS unlike Cyanogenmod does not come with root. However you can easily root it by using TWRP to install the latest version of SuperSU.
If you want to customize this ROM and/or repackage it you may use this guide as a reference.

Awesome work!
wow! Thanks jedid!
EDIT 2 amazing...wifi, cellular data for internet, sms, mms, calls all work (and no echo!)
as you wrote...mms (data) and internet (data) work after the 1st reboot
not yet installed gapps
slower than cm13 but an incredible start! (compare with tab s, s2 that even have official marshmallow and even nougat coming or already there for the tab s2 that have all call and data issues...this one is simply a great feat!)
only thing for some reason it will not automatically get the time and day from the cellular network
EDIT 3
a TWRP backup would not restore properly-android.phone.com errors (no root no gapps just basic setup)
strange thing when I flashed gapps (full not pico from Oct for 7.1) had all kinds of google apps force-closes and the network would not connect easily-it did but the errors never ended so I ended up trying to go back to the twrp backup which is when I got the android. phone.com stopped error (repeatedly coming)
am redoing the installation now (maybe was a bad twrp backup cannot know for sure)

Also happened to me. What I did was to rewipe after Gapps and it worked OK after that. Also set GPS to power saving
issues just reporting...updates
by rewipe do you mean wipe dalvik and cache? thx
edit
for time i just unchecked the auto time zone and manually selected my time zone...the time and day are now correct (but it is an issue..understand way early)
few things
the file manager seems to be missing the root option in general settings and prompts to add root permissions when the option does not show up (maybe because it has no CM root? and that an SU root is secondary? even if cm root is not set?)
the clock has the similar type of error as in cm13 (extreme only?)..try setting up alarm and it freezes when tapping OK to set alarm and then reboots (bootloops just as getting to android is starting message) (need to delete clock data in twrp)
no speakerphone but that has been absent anyway in cm13 and omni as well and the previous cm14
also problem connecting to the computer choosing mtp protocol the usb debugging and the connection option notifications vanish (even if set to always show) (think it does not do anything and remains in charge mode) through dev menu in settings it appears picture transfer may be set
the above are minor irritants given all the other things that are working! thanks
EDIT3
gapps 7.1 pico 20161024 worked no need for dalvik and cache wipe
Hello
Can you fix GPS? The Rom is nice but i really Hard ned GPS. Or give IT nö Chance to fix GPS?

I did a full data wipe after gapps, then it worked. Flashing gapps after going through a first boot seems to cause problems.
@jedid
Ok i hope IT give a fix for GPS. Then ist Use it as Daily.

the gapps 7.1 pico 20161024 worked without any dalvik wipe (not sure what happened earlier but suspect it was because i used a full stock although of the recommended timeframe of oct 2016 (7.1 only goes back to that month anyway)
Used it the whole day..calls text mms browsing
root explorer would not work (blank screen upon opening)-am using Fx explorer (root which does a great job anyway especially if pasting entire folders into system app/priv-app folders-sets the permissions automatically and correctly)
camera does not work known anyway (was not coming up on 2nd/3rd try)
lte signal similar to cm13 (omni is still fastest to get on and stick)
but at times happened at least 5 times and in static position that the internet signal would drop and then come back (so somewhat finicky there)
lag is there when opening certain apps-just sits there
happens at times when pressing ok button in say some app where you have to accept or reject
but alpha...known and/or expected
don't about bluetooth headset, netflix, audio sophisticated stuff..not into these/kept up with the times
youtube works no issues
odd thing if some app or function fails for some reason it says browser stopped...will have to note down which ones gave that error that had nothing to do with the internet browser (opera beta that I use works no issues as does the built-in browser...unless the data signal drops for some reason-then have to turn off and on the data/or even toggle airplane mode to restart the radio)
Just like your other alpha builds, this is really good; great work! Subjectively, the ROM feels quite fast.
The bugs I noticed were:
1. MTP is not working for me
2. Scrolling was smooth, but slow, and eventually got jerky over time
3. The tablet can be detected by other devices when Bluetooth is on, but it cannot receive any files
4. For some reason, CM Transfer - I did not test other apps that use the same approach to transfer files - is not working

Was this device made with Android 7.1 in mind? Some time last year, when I was trying to install a ROM using Flashfire, I noticed that this device seems to have two data partitions. After installing this ROM, the tablet reported that the total 'shared' internal memory was around 8GB, rather than the usual five-or-so gigabytes. I was very surprised

Didn't notice MTP wasn't working will take a look at it.
As for bluetooth it is still essentially broken in this build.

There are changes to how /data is structured but it is still one partition from what I know. It is still a mystery to me how it computes storage especially if you set your external sd card as adoptable, it could probably combine the size of both system and data in that report.

.now on a 2nd installation..TWRP backup restore runs into issues (twice now) (only on lineage not cm14.1/13.1/omni) get android.phone stopped issue.
mtp issues..yes in #4 "also problem connecting to the computer choosing mtp protocol the usb debugging and the connection option notifications vanish (even if set to always show) (think it does not do anything and remains in charge mode) through dev menu in settings it appears picture transfer may be set"
it shows up for selection but does not work (sits in charge mode)...I think the picture transfer appears to get set...will check again and try to restore the backup without data

anyone here having issues restoring from twrp backup (tried 3 times now each time it fails with looping android.phone crashes-muting the app then toggling airplane mode to restart the radio does not work) basically have to set it up and use it (the rom) but cannot try anything else (or have a backup that can be used in case things go wrong)...ran into the same clock issue as on cm13 (extreme only?) ...could not get out of the rebooting loop (tried deleting data for the desk clock) and then twrp backup would not work either
thanks
edit
I am able to restore without data (so have to set up again including supersu but at least it avoids the odin flashing part)
Seems the alarm clock issue happens on all LineageOS roms and not just mine. Their advice is to just get another app from the app store while they are fixing it.
Hi, thanks for continuing to work on this device.
Sadly, I have (or rather my granny does) a SM-T280... In the last thread there was someone who wanted to try to port to the T280, is there still work going on?
Also can I help? I am not really a developer, but a tinkerer; and I am fed up enough by the Samsung nonsense to try and help (as long as I can be reasonably certain to be able to restore the tablet to a working state even if I mess up, it's not mine after all^^)
SM-T285
:crying:
Just bought SM-T285 yesterday.
Last night I look in youtube on how to root my Samsung Tab A 7.0.
Me, as the stupid human followed the tutorial installing the img then poof! BOOTLOOP.
(looking for stock rom to flash it tru Odin)
Newbie here guys!
I know you can find ways to fix it.
We can wait..
Hello, can you port this for the T580? I kinda really hate CrapWiz

jedid, it seems the ftp issue is still there? as before checking or selecting the ftp option simply removes the toggle from the notification (does not show up until next reboot) and does not connect the drives to the computer
also not sure if you were looking at this issue but need to manually select the network time zone (does not automatically detect)
automatic takes it to GMT
Hello, I have problems with no audio and microphone activity when making calls or using Google Now/Assistant with a Bluetooth headset/car head unit.
The problem have persisted for some time now when making calls made via Bluetooth. At first it was limited to bad quality for recipients of my calls, and I blamed this on a new update to an unofficial Oreo ROM (Something PixelExperience).
However it has worsened, and now I cannot hear anything when making calls via Bluetooth, the microphone also seems to be cut off entirely, and the same is the case with Google Assistant.
Music and system audio seems to work just fine.
What I have tried without any luck so far:
A multitude of Oreo ROMS
Stock 26S chinese ROM (had to reinstall TWRP and everything)
Custom EUI 5.9 roms, based om 26S and 28S
A couple of different kernels
I am backup at running Resurrection Remix official Oreo atm.
I hope someone might have a clue at what to try.
If you need logs please let me know, however I am not an avid user of logcat/busybox(/others?) but should probably be able to use them og pointed in the right direction.

Maybe the mic is broken. If you tried with so much ROMs that's definitely a hardware problem.

Thank you for the answer, the microphone is not the problem. I have tested the bluetooth headset using another smartphone with no issues.
The issue also persists with my car head unit, it might be a faulty bluetooth unit, however it works just fine when transfering data and listening to music.
I only experience the problems when trying to use microphone or call using the bluetooth headset.

I did the following:
Reset and begin from scratch....
-Install TWRP latest version if you have not.
-Make backup external of your data, media, etc.
-Wipe everything cach, system, dalvik, data, internal.
-Restart in recovery.
-Download a EUI 19s rom on PC and transfer to your TWRP map on your phone.
-Install trough TWRP the EUI Rom and let it boot.
-Make the minimalist settings, so the rom is installed on your phone.
-After that go to recovery, choose format your phone.
-Restart recovery.
-Transfer the modem firmware 26S, your choise Oreo rom, and Gapps arm 64, 8.1, nano to your phone.
( Advice: infrag AICP unofficial 20032018 version, bugless)
-install those together without reboot in between.
-After that Reboot system.
When making settings in the rom CHOOSE NEW PHONE, DO NOT DOWNLOAD YOUR SETTINGS TROUGH GOOGLE ACCOUNT and do not install other backups.
Then you will have a total clear phone.
Very much work but it helped me with camera and audio problems.
I hope it does for you too.
Thank you, I will try that when I have some time at the computer, I did All og the above except for installing 19S beforehand.
I have read about another who had similar problems to med, and Foxes them by replacing a systems file. Is there any way of optaining this file without flashing the rom and extracting it? Can I open the rom file directly to extract the file? (Filename was Bluetooth-***.so or something)

It is the Bluetooth file of 15S....That's a very long time ago.
I'm not sure with compatibility.
Very much so, however a similar approach might work with say 19S.
But I don't know how to get the .so file without flashing the rom and copying it from the system directory...
I have now tried installing both Chinese 15S and Indian 19S without any luck, I am still not able to use bluetooth for calling. No sound or microphone what so ever using the bluetooth headset.

Does your bluetooth status says connected (no phone)
in the same post https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-max-2/help/issues-bt-16s-t3543635/page2 pn #12 there is bluetooth so file
try that... it works on every EUI version... to verify .. try EUI 16s (Indian ver) and check your bluetooth device
Thank you for pointing that out!
I have tried with a clean install of the entire 15S ROM without any help.
I tried the .so file with my Oreo system, and now I cannot event turn bluetooth on...
Regarding bluetooth status it just says "connected" followed by battery percentage.
I can turn phone audio on or off without problem, but when turned on there is simply no sound in calls...
I'm trying to upgrade my Samsung p7510 10.1 tablet from Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.4 to either Marshmallow or Nougat, or better. I've installed TWRP 3.1.1 and rooted with SuperSu. I've had to assume root has worked as can't download root checker onto my tablet.
So, far I've managed to find a version of Marshmallow "ROM-STOCK_MMB29K-seed.zip" on androidfilehost.com. But when I try installing I keep getting error message "Updater process ended with signal: 4". I've wiped the Data, cleared the Cache and Dalvik Cache. Also searched the internet for info on the signal 4 problem but not found much other than to remove the "assert" line from the updater-script file in the OS zip.; that did nothing.
So, a few questions:
- Anyone know where I can get OS zips from for a Samsung P7510?
- And any ideas on resolving the signal 4 issue?
- Any other ideas?
P.S. The only reason I'm updating is I want to use it for Kindle but can only reach HTTP sites, not HTTPS. Assumed that is because it's so old that everything is out of date. And that stops me from downloading anything from just about anywhere, including Google Play.
P.P.S I have searched the forums but couldn't find anything helpful or with links that worked.
Thanks in anticipation
Might I suggest the stabelest ROM I've ever run on my P7510. I've had this installed on mine for over a year now. There are of course some minor bugs.
The signal 4 issue is most likely a Binary issue and should no longer be relevant since you should reset the device to factory and start over. Another thing is once you Root it you can't download from Google play because you now have an unverified device, it has something to do with Google Pay. You'll want to look for APKs. Although SuperSu is usable, you're going to want Majisk insted. I hear of some problems using SuperSu.
I have these files here in my PC if any of the links no longer work but you'll want to know how to flash it so you'll need the video. I'll check back soon and drop a link to my files. if you need them. I'd need to upload them to my Google Drive first.
If you have any other difficulties I'm usually here about once every week.
P.S. Your tab is better than a Kindle and I would not suggest using it as such, it runs pretty crappy that way . Amazon does have an app you can use. And I see that you have been having difficulties finding Operating Systems for your tab and yes it's because the P7510 first hit the market in March of 2011 there aren't many people doing much with it anymore. There's about 3 or 4 of us left.
Firstly, thanks for your help @Casper Young .
In particular the video was brilliant. I did have a few runs at the update, however, the process was very straightforward. The key issue was the TWRP version I was using. It was supposed to be for the P7510, but realised it was actually for the P7500, consequently the aosp files weren't loading. I think that was also the cause of the errors I was getting. And although none of the links were working I managed to get the file names from the video and sourced them from androidfilehost.com:
twrp2870-20150814-p4wifi.tar.md5
aosp-7.1-p4wifi-20170506.zip
Once I had those it was simple and the update worked smoothly.
I've also added the app from apkpure.com as Google play was a complete pain trying to get the tablet recognised. Now very pleased with the build and apps, all running very smooth.
thanks again
Glad you had no problems. There are some minor bugs. Flash doesn't work for the camera. And check your memory capacity. I use Apex Launcher for my home screen which organizes better for me.
