Yes - it has one. Settings > Accessibility > Vision > High contrast screen It doesn't affect as much of the UI as Samsung's official Dark Mode, but it gets close. Enjoy!

I questioned if I could keep this device knowing other phones have it and this one doesn't. Until I found this... Settings > Accessibility > Vision > High contrast screen And this mode doesn't simply invert colors like the iPhone or other poorly implemented high contrast modes do. It's...

Lmao... I had to check again earlier today to make sure I wasn't crazy when the backup wouldn't boot. Yes, has a Sprint sticker under the battery and says "Model : SPH-L710" UPDATE: Also said "Target: samsung/d2spr/d2spr:4.4.2/KOT49H/L710VPUDNJ2:user/release-keys" when installing. Everything...

Well, I certainly wasn't going to stop trying, but I figured it was time to let you move on to other wayward users. :D Any idea what is different about that d2lte build that would make it boot when no d2spr ROM released before or after it will?

Thanks for sharing this so quickly. The restore was successful, but can't get passed the boot animation. :crying: Held down power to reboot after about 10 minutes with no luck the second time. If you think of anything else, please let me know. For now, I'll assume the phone will die with ol'...

Thank you. No rush - whenever you have time. I don't get it either. I waited a long time to post about it because I assumed there was something simple I was overlooking that I would eventually figure out. Not sure this will work if nothing else has, but I can't wait to give it a shot.

Downloaded, verified and copied all these files to a freshly formatted SD card, inserted into the phone, booted TWRP 3.1.1-0 and wiped Dalvik / ART Cache, System, Data, Internal Storage, and Cache before each install: B140-commotio-d2spr-10-17-2017.zip...

I did not try Lineage or Vanir again like I did Commotio and CarbonROM to verify the md5s. I will try them and some older builds of each. I sincerely appreciate the offer. I would certainly be willing to download a large backup if you would be willing to take the time to clean install and...

I downloaded Commotio and CarbonROM again and verified the md5s. All good there. I wiped everything except OTG again and tried installing from the SD card (formatted as well before the ROMs were copied over). Still stuck on boot animations. I attempt a power button restart after about 10mins a...

I have tried with 7.0 and 7.1 opengapps arm pico but I haven't been doing so during troubleshooting so as to isolate the issue. I tried once with Commotio and once with CarbonROM in case they needed it for some reason, but since no luck, I figure I'll wait to flash gapps once I get a successful...

Yes - I have wiped everything, including internal storage and used the "format data" option. I have tried ADB sideloading each of the ROMs mentioned with everything wiped. I've also tried removing the external SD card, copying the ROMs to it from a PC, reinserting into the phone and attempting...

Tried flashing Commotio again and held down power to reboot after about 5min on boot screen. Waited over 10 mins the second time and still no luck. Just reboot again and will give it until the battery dies. Let me know if you have any other suggestions. Thanks again. UPDATE: Tried with latest...

Sorry for the delay. I had some issues restoring stock with one PC and was too stubborn to try on a different PC until yesterday. Was able to get stock working, rooted and I installed TWRP 2.7.x and then updated to the latest (3.1.x). I then wiped all partitions from TWRP and sideload installed...

That was a first for me too. TWRP has always been fairly easy to install and update. Not sure if this is the triband but I assume that is more expensive and that it is not the standard model Sprint was pushing, so I doubt it. Is there a way for me to check? Yes I was wiping data, cache, system...

It is definitely the sprint model. And I don't search for d2lte - I know that was a very short term thing for CM. Nothing else will flash and then boot though. Even tried using d2spr nightlies that were released after the 8/31/2015 d2lte snapshot. I was using TWRP v3+ already but I used their...

I can flash back to stock via the SkipSoft Unified Android Toolkit, but not matter how far back I go, the only 3rd party ROM that will not get stuck on a never-ending bootscreen after install is CM 11-20150831-SNAPSHOT-XNG3CAO3FN-d2lte. Not even the CM nightlies that came immediately before or...

Where were you able to find a download? And were you able to upgrade using Flashify or a similar app?

No, I didn't. I meant Moon Pie. ☺

I saw an Android 6.0 Marshmallow alpha port for the D850 on there too. Links to come! ?

No luck with this method.

Anyone else have Chrome and Chrome Beta opening up in mini windows? Wondering how to disable this.

Mine is showing 3GB in total there too. Thanks for the tip.

You are correct and that is good advice. Most of the functionality is lost on G3TB when running PA, but I was interested in seeing if a few features like the RAM bar and status bar sliding would still work. Can anyone confirm that their D850 is picking up all 3GB of RAM?

Flashed the file and so far so good. BUT, I enabled the RAM bar in the recent apps window using G3 TweaksBox, and it only detects 2gb of RAM in total. Is that all the ROM supports or is the RAM bar mod incompatible?

I too was amazed by the speed compared to all of the stock ROMs. Took a couple hours to get a kernel panic as well and the first time thought, "It's worth it." But more apps installed/configured, the worse it got (up to one or two every ten minutes). So excited to see where this goes, but not...

Simply updating Google Play Services didn't work for me, but it worked after installing the latest Play Store apk from gappsearly.com Issue I had was switching to Nova launcher as my default launcher (I know, defeats the purpose of the ROM but figured I'd report anyway). I could do it in...

I too am using Cloudy and find that the top half of the phone doesn't heat up as much. There's an eco mode you can turn on as well. Not sure it that's what's going the trick, but I've kept it on because the battery life is great now. As for the lag, have you tried flashing Pure Performance X...

That's what everyone said about Windows XP when it first game out. We could have people holding onto their lollipop devices for over a decade.

I've removed QuickMemo from the notification panel but after every reboot it's reenabled and takes the first seat. Aside from that, good ROM

I'm boring, but the more black, the better. Easier on the eyes and the battery.

Any other mods installed? I'm running Cloudy 1.1 with latest Pure Performance X Stock using ART and couldn't get my benchmark over 37500. Still happy with the performance, though.

Has anyone tried going a bit further with their bloatware removal? I have removed a few additional APKs (Gmail for example after installing Inbox), but I'm wondering how stripped down some others have gotten their devices without losing basic functionality. ---------- Post added at 11:47 PM...

thanks Again, thank you to neverends for a great guide. Worked perfectly. I feel much safer tweaking around now knowing I have a viable restore option.

thanks Took me awhile get used to the Android Tuner GUI, but great guide. Scans are showing that I am clean. Thank you!

Thank you, neverends I was a little intimidated by this just because of the number of steps and the long list of items, but I realize that neverends just took the time to be very thorough in his directions. Just download his backup file and this really could not be any easier. I did this using...

Anyone else have trouble activating the pro features after paying for the "hot" deal? I tried to recover the license with my email and the built in browser takes me to this page but nothing is clickable. Rebooted and had same issue.

..

Add me to the list. Never needed my third battery until yesterday. No out of the ordinary modifications.

mickey4mice same issue here.

kvl19 I actually just downloaded it to test for you. Download finished for me. Do you have the Mega app installed on your phone? If not, try that and download directly to your phone. neverends Going back to post #1, and I apologize if this has already been covered, but is it the root...

Thanks to everyone for all the information, and thank you especially for sharing the link. I am staying with my parents short-term in a very rural area with awful internet and I was dreading downloading the 2+GB stock firmware file just to get recovery back. This is perfect. Thanks again!

Possible to restore stock recovery? So after (stupidly) assuming that I knew what I was doing since I have been rooting/flashing/breaking/fixing my S3 for two years now that I would be able to easily install CM11 on my dad's S4 since he is always complaining about AT&T bloatware. He is running...

Was my question not stupid enough :D? Just wondering if there's no real answer to my problem, if it was missed because a new thread page was generated before anyone saw it (it's near the bottom of page 300), or if I should move it to it's own thread. Not in any way implying that my issue is more...

No Notification Sounds Hello again, everyone. After spending some time on the forums, I learned that for those experiencing issues with 3rd party ROMs and have not flashed back to a TouchWiz-based ROM for an extended amount of time, it is wise to use Odin to restore back to 4.1.1 stock, do the...

I actually did not use Odin at all. I was able to find a thread that posted a 4.1.1 stock .zip, a .zip to keep root, and a .zip to keep custom recovery. (I have tried searching for the thread to share with you but am unable to find it). I was definitely over-thinking it. Just install the .zips...

For some reason all of my notification sounds and ringtones stopped working. I can go through settings and play the sounds, but none of the messages/emails/calls that come in have any sound to go with the notifications. I noticed this almost immediately after flashing CM11 Nightly 4/20 over...

Thanks for your help. I was able to flash stock 4.1.1 and then reinstall CM11. So far, looks like the mobile data issue has been resoled.

First of all, thank you for explaining. I've spent hours trying to find answers but clearly have only found bits and pieces of the answers until now. Next, I am not too concerned about the 4.3 bootloader because I don't see a reason to downgrade any lower than 4.3 (am I missing something?) ...
