Very true. Thats why I usually buy only second hand hardware, which is at least 2 years old and is supported by Cyanogen, which I put on them first thing after arrival. My average cost for a smartphone is ~ €60,-. + one or two evening(s) to customize them. My wife still uses HTC Sensation and I...

Didn't know that, thanks.

Hi, Which part of the Xposed framework is Samsung-specific? The installer APK or the ZIP? I ask this because my phone(SM-A510F) has patch level November2016 and the right Xposed version would be v87test1, but after installing Installer3.1.1. & the v87test1(via TWRP) the phone stays black after...

Yep, that worked., thanks. Just want a Google-(apps-)free Android phone. Normally I would use a CyanogenMod-ROM, but not available (yet) for this phone. Any other suggestion apart from just uninstalling all Googlebloatware with systemapp-uninstaller?

hmm, just locked myself out of my phone by performing a factory reset... Pressing "Setup Phone" just makes the messagescreen disappear for half a second. Can I just reflash stock ROM from TWRP whith option "install ZIP"? 1,3GB stockROM in ZIP is already on phone, or should I use Odin? Thanks in...

Thanks. It's actually an SM-A510F and has Cortex-A53 core(s). The only thing I don't understand is that in the specifications there's a lot of 64-bit talk. Maybe the usual marketing bla bla, but some site's go as far as calling it "64-bit architecture" Very confusing imho. I will try the...

Thanks for the fast response! Yes, I used v87 arm64, the Galaxy A5(2016) CPU is 64-bit isn't? The error message is "Wrong platform: arm, This file is for arm64"

What are my options? patch level is indeed November 2016.

Thanks Ashyx. Procedure followed and worked flawless on SM-A510F, Android 6.0.1, MMB29K.A510FXXU3BPK1, Kernel date: 31 oct 2016. Only took me about 1 hour to discover the download mode, somehow mixed that up with recoverymode :)

Very nice! Worked for me on rooted stock ROM (Android 4.0.3, Sense 3.6)! root explorer: ES File Explorer 4.0.2.3 SQL editor: DB Browser for SQLite 3.7.0 (x64 version, on PC, Windows7) I moved the file (mail.db) to SDcard, so I could edit the file on my PC. Changed owner back to "app_68" and...

Oh, and now some "custom-flag" or something is triggered, and the device won't update anymore, although the bootloader and the ROM are fully original! So it's more or less, "bricked", or at least lost "value". I never cared much about Samsung, being more HTC-minded and this is certainly not...

GT-I9195I is NOT GT-I9195 After 3 evenings of trying to get a custom recovery + CM on this GT-I9195I I discovered it's another, different S4 Mini.... It's is not even mentioned at CyanogenMod webpage... If you, like me, want a custom ROM (i.e. CyanogenMod) and your time is valuable, be sure to...

SOLVED Solved.... well in my case at least... After inserting my SIMcard channel 12 & 13 are visible. Yes the HTC original ROM gets this region-information from the SIMcard. This is aparently a normal procedure, but was unknown to me. I usually use some phones without SIMcard first, to setup...

Hi Is this issue still not resolved? Same problem here; my wifi not visible at all (channel 13) Original stock ROM, was never modified, rooted, etc. Android 4.0.3, software number 3.33.401.55, baseband 11.76C.3504.00U_11.29A3504.18_M Can't seem to find any setting which could affect usable...

Make it REAL clean Unlock / disable / crack every possible protection on it(boatloader, etc), root it, install a stable CyanogenMod, WITHOUT the Spy-apps Google-apps and then use it! (This process might take several evenings) It is ridiculous, how much effort one has to make to have a real...
