FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ).

  • Currently using Samsung Stock 5.0.2 Rom. Installed CyanogenMod 13 and it boot loops. Stuck on the Samsung logo what to do?
You have to Install Samsung Stock Firmware (Indian). The reason is because the older firmware causes Modem Crash due to which CM boot loops. You can download firmware from following link.

A700FDDDU1BPA2


  • I have heating issues with my device. What is the reason?
On CyanogenMod 13 there are no heating issues. The device does heat if you use your device aggressively, like if you are using WiFi, LTE, 3G, Data Services, Games continuously then it is normal that your device heats up. It is due to the load on the CPU. It will happen in stock too.

Same with Electroflux003. Can't risk my A700FD yet but the frustration is getting real because sammy can't even update it to 5.1.1 unlike others say J7 2015. Seeing someone working on cm 13 for the phone is a godsend. Thanks jackeagle!! ☺

will there ever be a cyanogenmod for this device with RIL?
Yes Jackeagle is gonna bring it as you can see.. As he'z working with Testers and doesnt own the device, it will be delayed probably or will take more time.
@jackeagle Thanks a lot for compiling cm13 for Galaxy A7. Much appreciation for your work. Hoping you get more time to work on fixing RIL in this build.

Like he said in the 2nd post, calls and sms aren't working along with recent key....
He also said that he's not having this device and he's working with testers.....
If calling and sms bother you so much, wait for a stable rom release.....
You can test this rom if you don't have any problem with the bugs....

first of all please read OP everything is written there what is working and what is not working there is always a reason why we write in OP.
Installing rom is your choice i cant say whether u should or should.
Android Custom Rom's are tested well before release and usually Developers dont release something which can brick a device. In usual circumstances its the user who do not read OP and do not follow what is written in OP and thus end up bricking device. if everyone reads OP carefully nothing will happen and ofcourse you should have backup of everything including EFS.
Regarding update kindly do not ask for updates or status. I will surely provide all status whenever i feel all members should know :)

Hi can you port or build ROM FOR GALAXY a800i
Please
Or can I port this cm ROM TO A800i

Samsung Galaxy A8 (a800I) is a Exynos based Device and I dont develop for Exynos based device.
No you cannot port this Rom to A800I because this rom is for Qualcomm based SOC which A700FD uses and your device uses Exynos which is different SOC. :)

P
I already know it will not work because of different SoC
Please can you suggest a cm13 or marshmallow rom which I can port to my A800i having same SOC
