    Post How is your TAB S doing?, How old is it?

    I love mine and see no reason to upgrade at all. The new aspect ratio is better for reading in portrait mode but that's it. The speed is really not that much faster (except for the GPU which I don't care much about since I don't game on my tablet). The color gamut is also worse as is the...

    Post Official 6.0.1 firmware for Tab S T800 with Wifi (New Zeland version)

    Thanks for everyone who commented with constructive advice. Always takes forever to leave my tablet around backing up roms and updating my apps and then backing and restoring everything with Titanium Backup. My tablet is noticeably smoother. GSam battery monitor says about 7 and a half hours...

    Post New Tab S 10.5 Owner..

    I got mine for $200 flat off ebay. It looked beat up on the sides and back in pictures, but the owner told me the screen was perfect with no dead pixels or tinting and that everything worked perfectly. He also told me that the battery had been cycled a lot of times, probably every day for over...

    Post Finally Galaxy tab S will receive Marshmallow.

    Roller coaster for tab S owners last few weeks. First sammobile says we'll get MM and then they take it back and say we won't and then it's front page that we do. All I know is, I get to keep this baby for a long while longer. Samsung is sticking to its guns with the ipad wannabe S2 design...

    Post Finally Galaxy tab S will receive Marshmallow.

    I'll stick to my tab S just for the 16:10 aspect ratio alone. Does anyone actually do work on a tab s2? A 4:3 ratio is terrible for media consumption. Yes. They were awesome when they were first starting out. The galaxy note 10.1 tablets were great and the 12.2 tablet was nice too. They...

    7.4 seems way more stable than 7.2. Better battery too I think. Thanks again to the creator for making the best note 4 rom out there. Sent from my SM-N910T3 using Tapatalk

    Post All Bets Are Off

    How is the screen crappy? It is well-reviewed. The Galaxy Note 12.2 Pro has a pentile screen which has only 20% more subpixels than an equivalent size 1080p normal RGB submatrix screen ... As for the windows tablet, whatever; I wouldn't buy it simply because they only have 4 gb of ram which...

    I did this and it solved all my freezes and unreliable performance. I had issues with both beast and emotion until I clean wiped with this process. People who have anomalous performance should try this method. Sent from my SM-N910T3 using Tapatalk

    This ROM didn't play nice with beast for me. Lots and lots of freezes. Emotion r23 and Nightmare are doing a lot better. Still a few freezes here and there but otherwise good.

    Post [Q] root Dell Venue 10 5000 Series

    Can we get confirmation that you can update the small stagefright security update and still be able to root? If I can't root, I have to return this thing even if it runs basically stock lollipop.

    Post If the Tab S1 does not get v6 Marshmallow, will you buy another Samsung tablet/phone?

    I would simply for the fact that there aren't any other options in the android space. Name a better manufacturer? I jumped in earlier on the Asus Transformer line and was burned twice by their god-awful emmc. They supported their device well but the hardware had a huge flaw. And a lot of...

    The solution suggested by Lude did not work for me. I feel that it's probably a kernel issue since I was on stock 5.1 before and other 5.1 roms as well.

    Yeah you were right. I did like 5 clean installs in a row trying to install xposed framework before even the first system boot, after first boot, and with 3 different versions of SDK 22 for ARM. It turns out that for some reason my 128gb Sandisk microsd Card did not copy files correctly from...

    I tried flashing all the wanam ones that were relevant for version 22 and the official ones. No bueno, fails to execute update binary. Upgraded TWRP to latest version too. If anyone else on this rom can tell me which xposed version works, it'd be much appreciated.

    This device isn't being sold though and they didn't release a successor. I was really hoping they would release an OLED version but alas, no bueno. You should always expect Samsung to abandon their products. They have a locust-like mentality to producing products. I just wish the development...

    Rom is good but crashes quite a bit for me (once every few days freezing the phone). Not sure why. Also would like to have it so that 4-way rotation was not on or there was an option to turn it off. It makes reading on the note 4 a chore and is vastly inferior to default rotation (where it...

    Just saw it on Amazon yesterday. 60 bucks. Pretty penny but it looks sweet. What's really annoying is that I had ot use my note in only a tpu case for so long, partially defeats the purpose of that much protection when I want it from the very start of buying a new Note 3.

    Got the Poetic Case. I am happy with it. It is extremely similar to the Samsung case but costs much, much less. It is better functionally because there is a magnet in the case that helps hold the fabric cover in place when the tablet is not in use. It is not very strong so if you shake it...

    Not quite tempered glass but Green Onions finally released a screen protector for the Note 10.1 2014. I use the same type of oleophobic screen protector on my note 3 and it really helps with grease. My Note 10.1 2014 sees way more constant touching from my fingers so I grabbed it asap.
