What do you think about this project?

Looks pretty cool
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

Well..Downloading it for almost a half hour..the speed is low
Don't know if I should flash it through recovery or odin like the instructions said.

Looks like an uglier version of MIUI ^^

It flashes just fine through cwm. Runs great if a little slow. The animations when opening and closing apps are nice.
Before you flash however be sure to set your sim pin lock as off in the settings of your current ROM. As once you boot in to smartisan it will not ask you for a pin and you will have no phone connection and you sim will remain locked .
I like this ROM but there appears to be no way to change wall paper on home screen and it also appears not to be compatible with widgets.

chinese and english. Rom is 4.2.2, you don't have the "desktop" , just the icon mesh, most parts that should be fast are slow^slow^slow
For example, opening dialer is turbo fast, closing it is ultra slow
either cm based or just cm apps in it. Wiped it just now.

Better than MIUI, looks like iOS <3

Can I get all languages with Languags Enabler ?

Interessante
I downloaded the rom, installed, not as changing the edioma being English or Chinese, after all is not rooted, not the root supote, versdão beta, but future versions will support the root, is a bit slow, but it promises to be a rom interesting, will not desktop because the icons on the screen is not large distributed in bars, version 4.2.2 even being a pre-alpha cool, maybe I will follow this journey. Hugs!!

Everyone is trying to revolutionise the Android UI, but they all seem to lack something and end up appearing restricted.

The rom seems to be based upon cyanogenmod (Uses cm kernel and stuff like CMFileManagerThemes.apk present).
I installed the launcher to my phone and it seems to work fine.

I installed it, and I must admit: I´m amazed, it is a very cool rom! I first thought via the videos: Oh, ok, just a luncher and boring... but wow. I was wrong. Really, it is amazing. And for a pre alpha it is very imprssive! Whoever codes this must a be a genius to get something like that with that stability and performance (Antutu 15800) and call it pre alpha. Others would call it beta. :good:

Root Smartisan OS
For those like me, do test in Chinese rom Smartisan OS, and want to root, use this link, and flash in recovery, go to the icon Su and run it, it worked for me in 90%, reinstalled my APPs by Titatiun Backup just can not acessoa the backup folder Titaniun that is on the card, but transfer this folder to the internal memory and I could install 90% of my apps.
I used this link:

Can someone please help a noob out?

Now that I have a gs2 I really don't know what to do with android. Can someone please just post 3 to 5 things I should do with my phone to best improve my experience and Instructions on how to do them? That would be rally helpful as I do know my way around phones but I'm completely clueless when it comes to rooting and development
I don't to come off rude, but please search before starting a thread like this.

I was new to Android too with this phone about a month ago.. I would suggest playing around with it first, figuring out how you like your widgets laid out, what your settings for all your apps should be, etc, before you consider rooting/flashing.. Initially the battery may seem weak, but give it time to stabilize (and also your usage will go down once the newness wears out).. Through various posts you will figure out what apps are good, which ones drain your battery, and which ROM fits your need.. I'm on unnamed ROM and love it.. Let me know if I can help with anything in specific!

Check out the terms and acronyms link in my signature, so you have some basic level of understanding the terminology in the posts.
Look for some apps that interest you in the Android Market, just to start getting a feel for all the things your phone can do with applications...
Decide where to start - such as getting apps that need root level permissions (like Titanium Backup), and how to root on your phone. Or do you want to customize how your phone looks? See what you have available on your phone first, see what you like (or what annoys you!) and then how to change it. Basically get some starting goals.
Start looking up applicable posts, such as how to flash a custom ROM using Odin, customizations such as ADW.Launcher, etc. Be prepared for a lot of reading, and following instructions to the letter!
...(?)
Profit!
Seriously though, the phone has a huge amount of potential ... you have to figure out what you want to do. Chances are someone has posted a guide to do it (or someone helpful will reply) -- but it's up to you to decide what you want.
Your best bet is to read...a lot. Start here and here. And if you have questions about things, I suggest asking via IRC. People get pissed when the forum gets cluttered up. Best of luck to you.

Ok. here is the easy way to start your i777 SGS2 adventure
If you plan on flashing a custom rom you will not need to root your phone because all of the custom
roms here in XDA forums are pre-rooted.
Here is the best and easiest way to flash/install a custom rom and backup your original stock rom.
First you need to install the Samsung USB drivers into windows.
(Be sure to use the original Samsung USB cable for trouble-free operation)
Here is the link for the Samsung Unified USB Driver: http://api.viglink.com/api/click?for...13196871580881
After installing the usb driver above restart windows.
Now is a good time to download a custom rom of your choice, there are about 5 or 6 you can choose from.
I would suggest to download the "UnNamed" custom rom which can be found here: update-unnamed-v1.1.0-full.zip
It is currently the best and most reliable full featured custom rom you can find for our i777 phone.
After you have downloaded a custom rom you need to copy it to your phone's internal sdcard.
To copy the rom zipfile to your phone you need to go into the settings of the phone:
settings>applications>development>usb debugging and make sure that the "USB debugging" is disabled.
Connect the usb cable from computer to the phone and open "Computer" from the start menu in windows &
there you will find a "SGH-I777" drive icon.
Open it and you will see 2 icons, PHONE and CARD, copy the custom rom zipfile you downloaded into the
PHONE drive. (you will only see CARD if you have an external micro sdcard in the phone)
Now you need to download these two files below.
SGH-I777_ClockworkMod-Recovery_5.0.2.3.tar kernel: http://www.multiupload.com/QQKN7NJAFT
Odin3_v1.83.exe Windows Executable: http://hotfile.com/get/116095613/4ea...din3_v1.83.exe
Copy both of these files into a new folder on your desktop.
Open Odin3 in your new folder & select the PDA button & select the "SGH-I777_ClockworkMod-Recovery_5.0.2.3.tar" file.
Once this is done press the volume up & volume down buttons at the same time & hold them pressed
until you plug the usb cable from computer to the phone & you see the triangle on the phone's screen
and the "COM:XX" box in Odin3 light up yellow.
Then click the START button in Odin3 to start the kernel flash.
After successfully flashing you will see the blue CWM Recovery menu of options.
Select "Reboot System" from the menu.
After the phone reboots go back to settings and enable the usb debugging & power down the phone.
Now press & hold both volume buttons & press and hold the power button at the same time until you
see the SAMSUNG text on screen then let go of power button first then let go of the volume buttons.
Wait for the blue CWM menu then select "backup/recovery" then select "backup".
The phone will start backing up your stock rom at this point.
Once it gets done backing up your stock rom you can flash the custom rom.
To flash your custom rom select "Wipe data/Factory reset" from the menu.
Then select "Install zip from sdcard" & select the custom rom zipfile which
you have copied to your phone.
Once it gets done flashing & installing select "reboot system".
Using the blue clockworkmod recovery menu:
HOME softkey = selects.
BACK softkey = go back.
Volume Up/Volume Down = scroll up & down.
Now you are ready to use the phone. (at last!!!)

P.S. The reason I made these instructions so detailed is so even a NOOB can understand it!
Remember if a NOOB can understand this then ANYONE can! - (that means you!)
Read, read, and re-read. Everyone was a noob at one time or another. +1 to this site, so much support. Have a problem, do a search first. Chances are you're not the first with the issue.

[ROM] [N900PVPUEOC5] [100% Stock, Pre-Rooted, Busybox, Deodexed, No KNOX] [6/11/2015]

I bring to you 100% stock fully deodexed builds of Lollipop 5.0 (N900PVPUEOC5) for the Sprint Galaxy Note 3. The ROM is built from the official Samsung tar. It will self root upon flash and has init.d/busybox support. Knox has been removed completely. There are two versions of the stock deodexed ROM. The difference is one uses a normal edify recovery script and the other uses aroma installer. Both ROMS are identical otherwise. The purpose of the aroma installer is for future rom chefs to customize their rom builds using aroma installer if they so choose. This stock ROM includes all pre-installed Google & Sprint apps. Nothing has been removed or modified from stock. Also included is the OC5 kernel and modem & HLOS patch to ensure you have the latest kernel and modem with this ROM upon flash.
The ROMs are stock and will stay that way. Please don't ask for mods, changes, etc in this thread. These roms are intended for those people who want the stock ROM in it's original form with the addition of root and removal of Knox as well as other dev's/chefs who need a good solid base for their own ROM project. I give permission for other dev's to use this rom as your base and I highly recommend that you do so because it is bug-free and built from the official Samsung .tar. However, I do expect credit if you use this rom for any other project. If you appreciate my work please press that Thanks button and consider making a kind donation. using the link under my profile pic. Enjoy!
Important Note: Before flashing ANY Lollipop ROM. including this one, you MUST first have done one of the following: Taken the Lollipop ota update OR odin flashed the stock N900PVPUEOC5_N900PSPTEOC5_N900PVPUEOC5_HOME.tar. If you are still on a KK based rom (including any KK AOSP/CM based roms) then you MUST first update to Lollipop by one of the two methods I mentioned BEFORE flashing this ROM.
Flashing instructions: ***Before beginning the flash/setup process MAKE SURE your battery has at least 50% charge and/or connected to the charger!!!***
1. Backup anything you don't want to lose off your internal storage to another location.
2. Download the ROM using your pc. (downloading with your phone has a much higher risk of file corruption. Not recommended with large files).
3. VERIFY the md5!!! Once the download has finished, compare the AFH md5 using a md5 tool on your pc. (Google is your friend).
4. Put the downloaded ROM onto your internal storage or external micro sd card.
5. With phone powered off, reboot into recovery by pressing and holding volume up, power and the home button until you see the samsusung logo then release all buttons.
6. Once in recovery choose the wipe button and do a factory reset three times. Optional but recommended is to do a "Data" wipe. This will wipe all of your internal storage so MAKE SURE you backed up first like i said in step #1 above! Then go to "advanced wipe" and select all of the partitions EXCEPT micro-sd card and internal storage. Internal storage is optional but recommended on first time flashing Lollipop.
7. Choose the "Install" option and select the ROM "STOCK_DEODEXED_N900PVPUEOC5" from either your internal or external micro-sd card. It will flash the rom and give a confirmation once completed.
8. Press "Reboot" then "reboot system".
9. Initial rom setup will take several minutes and remain on the yellow Sprint Spark screen for several minutes (definately much longer than what you are used to). Let the phone setup/optimizes and the screen WILL eventually turn off once it finishes or show the setup wizard.
10. When you see the screen turn off or the setup wizard, you can begin setting up your phone for first boot.. Once finished with setup wizard wait a few moments and the phone will automatically install the sprint apps. You must either "accept" or "disagree" with each and every google prompt for these apps or else the installs pause untill you do so.. Also you will be prompted for the "connections optimizer". Quickly set it to what you want and close it. That's it! You're done!
flashing anything on your device is done at your own risk. There is no way myself or any other developer can guarantee that flashing this ROM or any other file will not brick your device or otherwise cause some other type of damage. This is just a standard warning. I am not responsible for anything that you do to your device. However I do my best to ensure all of my roms, mods, etc are 100% safe and fully tested before allowing public access.

From 5.1.1 to 4.4 so you can root

You do not need root to do this. This will wipe your device, back it up if you care. When I truly thought about it, I really didn't give a hoot about a backup. Contacts are stored on my SIM.
This is a guide to help you get from 5.1.1 on a g900t to 4.4 so you can get your root on. It is important to note that you have to downgrade and it is even more important to note that you can brick your device and you assume all responsibility for actions you take.
(If you truly like 5.1.1 and custom kernels, be sure to stop here and go to this post instead -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=61877146 )
I wanted to root my S5 and had no idea how to do that. Well duh, you pull up youtube and look for the guy with the most trusting voice, good instructions, and more likes than dislikes and root your 5.1.1 right? Nah, that bricked my phone. Then I actually had to learn about my device, others like it and spent a good 4 hours meticulously fixing my device.
Now, installing root will trigger knox but I believe downgrading to 4.4 from 5.1.1 may not, but I cannot be 100% sure since I already triggered knox thanks to Mr Youtube bricking my phone.
Once you are on 4.4 you can root your phone using a ton of guides all over the place. For someone new to rooting a samsung device your google searches may be something like "S5 root" and eventually evolve to "S5 root g900t lollipop 5.1.1" and you will get nothing, spam or people asking the same thing with others saying "You can't do that". I didn't care about 5.1.1, I hated it in fact, so these comments saying "no you can't" kinda pissed me off.
Items you will need that I will link you to ->
Odin
Android 4.4 image
Optional: Android 5.1.1 image (in case things get scary and you want to revert)
Let's Start ::
1. Download odin from your favorite source (Sorry, there seems to be too many weird links on google for this, but here is a forum post on this website -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2711451 ) and I am not comfortable hosting it.
2. Download Android 4.4 image, sources for this ->
Sammobile http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G900T/
Alternative: http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-G900T
These sites are so damn slow. I got the image uploading to Mega atm and will update this post with a Mega link when they finish.
Optional: Download Android 5.1.1 image (ending in FOG6) so you can revert if needed, sources for this ->
Sammobile http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G900T/
Alternative: http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-G900T
These sites are so damn slow. I got the image uploading to Mega atm and will update this post with a Mega link when they finish.
3. Grab your phone and turn it off.
4. Hold in the Volume Down button, the Home button and then hold down the Power button until you see a message telling you that you are going to break your phone and void your warranty. Confirm you wish to break all the things by pressing the Volume Up button.
5. Plug in your phone to your computer and open up Odin. In Odin you will see a bunch of blank boxes and hopefully one of them on the ID:COM section is blue which indicates your device is plugged in. If you see the blue box showing connected, you can continue.
6. Click Options and make sure the only 2 boxes checked are Auto-Reboot and F. Reset Time. In the section to the right (Files [Downloaded]), check the second checkbox next to "AP". Click the text labeled "AP" and select the 4.4 android image you downloaded already. The program may sort of freeze up but just wait for a few seconds and let it clear up.
(You should read the rest of these steps entirely before continuing to follow).
7. Click the start button at the bottom and wait for it to finish. You want to catch the next reboot fast so you can enter into recovery otherwise you have a sweet softbrick boot loop. If so it is no big deal, yank out the battery because you need to clear some cache and factory reset.
8. When the reboot is coming back up, quickly hold in Volume Up, Home Button and Power Button to get into androids default recovery. Once you see blue letters at the top left "Recovery Booting" you can let go of the button combination.

9. Go down to the option to "wipe cache partition" using the volume keys and use the power button to select it.
10. Go down to the selection "wipe data/factory reset" using the volume keys and use the power button to select it..
11. Check the section at the top "reboot system now" using the volume keys and use the power button to select it.
12. Give it a little bit of time (2 minutes max) to get passed the tmobile carrier screen and you should see the new device setup screen. YAY you downgraded to 4.4 and now all those wonderful guides on rooting your S5 become relevant to you at last!
If you get nervous and want to chop back to 5.1.1 follow the exact same instructions but select the 5.1.1 android image instead of the 4.4 one.
I hope this helps someone new to this that is on 5.1.1 and seeing a lack of resources on getting to root and not caring about 5.1.1 in general. I actually think you can get all the features of 5.1.1 through custom roms once you get back to 4.4.
If I am missing something, left something out or mistyped something please let me know.
Rooting the S5 is really up to you. Some people swear by it, but if I can be honest, once I had it done on my phone I was severely disappointed (and felt regret) in the lackluster apps and things you can do. The best reason to root for me was to control permissions (which is a paranoia game you start to play with your apps) and freeze system apps that came with my device. Freezing the silly ass software update that kept bugging me to update was fantastic as well as the oogle of google apps I will never ever use like Google Music and TV, My Magazine, etc.

That is a pretty cool article, but seems really geared towards people who already know what to do a little bit though right? This definitely did not pop up on any google search, but if it did at the time when I knew zero about rooting, I would have clicked away if I can be honest. Sorry man.
Not really. Just about an hour quicker and not losing everything.

No, Don't do that! this can be risky! yours is Metropcs version of Samsung Galaxy Core Prime.
My Zipped file contains Stock ROM OS "G360TUVU1APG2" and it is for T-Mobile version of Samsung Galaxy Core Prime. (just beside the Recovery image, which is compatable with both T-Mobile and Metropcs)
Be sure to match both the Baseband code of your Phone and the Stock file.
Go to About Phone and search for your exactly baseband code number, it's better to download from the official sites.

That's what I thought. Just wanted to make sure before doing something stupid and brick in my phone as this is my daily driver. I appreciate your help and all the hard work you and all the other devs put in to give the android community the know how and ability to run their devices the way they were meant to be ran. Keep up the hard work. I'm sure I speak for more than myself when I say that your work and dedication is greatly appreciated.

I don't know when will it be released. I don't use long time, so I can not compare. But design is better so far for me
Hello, thanks for your work, I want to install this Rom but the step 6 is a little confusing, cause I don't know which Rom should install, link of download has a lot of files.
Can you please update this step with names of files to install?

What about the music player? Same or different
I really hope that version 5.0 only comes to Asian phones (if at all and at most) because that's what typically people from there like. But in my opinion, the new style just moves further away from stock Android look and closer to iOS. The skin looks "heavy" and "bloat -ish". The notification toggles UI got worse and the rounded notifications is not useful. It's like a bit more childish theme. Would be nicer if ZTE actually let us and not them customize the notification toggles. They literally removed one of Android Nougat's offered feature here: customized toggles and hidden menu.
this method is working on G model too.
Installed and followed the instructions to the tee. I have the U variant. Phone is not booting into system, recovery or EDL mode. When trying to power on the phone it vibrates and light blinks twice. Same when trying to boot into recovery.
EDIT: I fixed my problem. It just isnt booting after following the steps tho.

Yeah, guess we'll have to wait and hope MiFavor 5 officially comes to the U version. After many months of using custom ROMs, I came back to plain stock + root and realized how much I missed it. Stock ROM with Nova Launcher isn't that bad. I mean without Xposed, not THAT much you can do on custom ROMs anyway, with the exception of a few minor tweaks here and there. At least not with what I want.
@WesTD do me a favor, please. Create another backup and include system, data and boot. I'm going to make a flashable zip.

That is good news! In this case I welcome functions over style as long as the style doesn't restrict them.

It worked on my 2017U. Instead of installing the Google Play Services linked in the OP, I installed it from apkmirror, along with Google Play Store. Worked perfectly. One thing I would like to add, if you are being prompted for a password upon startup, go to TWRP and perform a factory reset. I was and that's what worked for me.
Does Magisk work on this?
It looks like an update came out
