Working fine, just one bug that has been here since i first installed cm13 from this author

When the tablet is off and i insert the charger it turns on and shows a battery on screen. This will stay on even if i disconnect the power and it will be on until the battery is drained.

Only way to start the tablet (or turn it off to prevent the battery bring drained) is to press power for 10 seconds until the screen goes black and then release the power and if i want to turn it on, then press power for 2 seconds to turn it on.

How to flash Zip with ODIN

Hi guys,
I guess I wiped too much. Now I can only access download mode and TWRP but since I wiped all data from the 12.2 LTE and TWRP does not work with my SD card I am looking for a way on how to flash the ZIP onto my device.
I thought that ODIN might work but I can not upload ZIP files with ODIN. Any suggestions on how to solve this problem? I have been searching for several hours but with no luck...but I am not very experienced in this so probably I just did not understand what I had to do :(
Any suggestions are highly welcomed!
Cheers
Johannes

Update: when in TWRP I could not access the SD Card which I had used in my short success of installing the Rom before my retry but an newly formated 8gb worked meaning while TWRP was running I changed the SD Card and tata I could install from SD Card.

Play Movies and TV

Content that I have purchased from Play movies and TV will not play from the app its'self, YouTube or any browser. This is a problem on an Android device hopefully you have a fix in the works. Thank you for your work also there are the problems with MS already mentioned by others and Bluetooth during calls of any kind including voip. Thanks so much for making me love my note pro again.

The volume of callers in the phone app is very quiet.

The volume of callers in the phone app is very quiet. I can hardly hear my conversation partners, although the volume has turned fully. Does anyone have an idea, whether and how to make it louder

Blocking notifications

I'm using the latest build (#13) and still can't block any app's notifications that are put on the lock screen.
I've upgraded since the first build.

Have just gone from the @Valera1978 12.1 to the new 14.1 and it looks very nice so far (on SM-P905).
However, when I originally went to 12.1 I got the simcard issue that some people have raised. No SIM card is recognised.
I though that maybe doing full wipe and going to 14.1 would solve it, since 14.1 apparently does not have the issue. But still the same problem.
Any suggestions on what to do to recover modem use from this point?

Me too. Is there a solution for this? Have already done 2 times a clean reinstallation.

When I need to turn it off I need remove the charger then press the power-button 10 sec until it goes blank then continue pressing until bootloader shows. When the screen goes blank again after 1-2 seconds I release the power button. Alternatively removing the charger and executing power off from the OS seems to turn off the screen too. It seems to be a bug or intentional behaviour in the bootloader. It does only seem to happen when the bootloader detects a modified kernel or selinux is not enforcing. Someone would have to find a way to fool the bootloader or write it's own. Both not quite likely, especially since the P905 is more of an exotic device. Thanks Samsung.

Other general issues not related to this rom:
- I hoped the split-screen issue (paused screen updates when not focused, seen on video and natigation apps) is fixed when Google put it in the OS but it's still there. Google seems to have picked the CM-Splitscreen approach, which is crap. Or said better, works less good with non split-screen updated apps than the Samsung approach. Thanks Google.
- Losing SPen Hardware support sucks, I cling my hopes to SPenCommand but that app costs and it needs to tamper with SELinux. Currently there is no CM14 support in the latest release. Must use soft-emu in Lecture Notes to have at least some usable pen experience. Thanks Samsung.
- After using Titanium Backup I just saw (again) how much Samsung bloatware is installed when running Samsung stock. No wonder they had to use 3Gigs of RAM. Thanks Samsung.
- Why is there no tablet version of twitter that is not locked to a vendor? Thanks twitter.

On the positive side - related to this rom:
I can confirm that compared to oder CM13 Roms Internet over Bluetooth seems to work. I use that when on the road since it's a lot less resource-consuming than a hotspot.

I'm not responsible for any damage to your device of any sort.
By flashing this you take responsibility of anything that happens.
Process at your own risk!


Nougat now is in the active develope. It's still buggy.
If you want to check firmware - please make backup. Better to store all partitions, at least efs and may be modem.
I'm using nano gapps.

Instructions
1. Install custom recovery
2. Download the zip(s) - firmware and Google Apps additional package (optional)
3. Backup all partitions (it least efs) and store somewhere - it need to do - because you can loose imei
4. Full wipe all
5. Flash firmware and gapps

Root
Settings -> About tablet -> press 7 times "Build number"
Then Settings -> Developer options -> Root access

Work
Almost all work: calls, mobile data, wifi, bluetooth, sound, vibra, camera (photo), sdcard, mtp, otg, pen, gps, ir

Known Issues
1. Sound issues: volume during a calls, microphone in the skype
2. Camera (video recording) - great comment about this problem from this tread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...m-cyanogenmod-14-0-galaxy-s5-android-t3476433): Google made architectural changes with how cameraserver and mediaserver work, placing them into different processes. Unfortunately, the way things were passed around for encoding for HAL1 (what we have in our blobs) included passing virtual addresses as metadata, and a virtual address only makes sense for one process. Fortunately, this impacts about 80+% of devices, so a lot of good people are working on the issue.

About crash in the dialer
If you upgrade with the old firmware (7 version or less), most likely you will get a crash in the dialer, at least I got it.
There are 2 options to solve the problem:
1. clean install the latest version
2. in any file manager (es explorer, solid explorer or other) as root go to the folder data\data\com.android.dialer\databases and delete both files (dialer.db and dialer.db-jornal). It will be recreated on next dialer launch.
