samsung galaxy avant

Has anyone with this phone noticed that this phones display seems dim and is hard to see especially outdoors. I just got this phone for metropcs because it had good specs. The phone has a TFT lcd screen, which seems like an outdated technology. I'm wondering if I should exchange my phone for a...

I have the MetroPCS variant of the Avant, SM-G386T1. It's rooted, but otherwise stock, haven't changed ROM's just disabled some apps. On the latest K3 firmware w/4.4.2. Having an issue where the phone sensors (accelerometer and proximity) will suddenly stop working, and a phone restart is...

Okay, so I want to start this thread and get everyone to share how they have their phone setup. Case, launcher, mods, xposed apps, maybe even favorite root apps? I'll start off with mine. My case: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=400792396476&alt=web Launcher: Nova Prime Mods: I...

Reading about this phone. Wondering if it is worth it? I now have the LG optimus f6. Should I upgrade?

Does anyone have a backup of the stock MMS apk? I screwed up and accidentally uninstalled mine through titanium backup, restored it via titanium backup and now it force closes everytime I open it

Hey guys! My name is crutchcorn. @codyedmonson has recently asked me to try to bring CM or any really type of rom to the device. While I cannot make promises, I can say that I will try my best. Not sure if this is something that has been found before but here is y'all's source code for the...

But I want to know is there a base ROM or anybody build a flash ota update so I can download the latest firmware to flash a ROM over at XDA

Is there a good call recorder for the Avant or from Xposed Framework? Need one that records my voice and the callers.

Read some threads here on improving battery life, and followed what could be understood. There's chatter about excessive bloatware, but could not find a list of apps which are safe to delete using Root App Del. 1. Which apps are safe to delete on this MetroPCS phone ? 2. What can be done...

I have a Samsung Galaxy Avant running KitKat 4.4.2 with T-Mobile that has been randomly restarting. Per T-Mobile support I've tried wiping the cache partition multiple times, tried a master reset then immediately connected the phone to my Google account, syncing apps, mail, etc. but the phone...

Like the fellow in another thread I could not resist the $99.99 price at BB especially because I got a $50 BB giftcard for Xmas. (I have Metro PCS.) I have an LG F6 which is a nice phone for $79 except for its woefully lacking storage space. The Avant has way more storage space, but the screen...

This is the download screen mode as it comes from the factory before any flashing.

Hello, I have a Metro PCS Samsung Galaxy Avant (SM-G386T1) and was wondering if it is possible to flash the T-Mobile firware (SM-G386T) to my device? If so, will I still be able to use the device with my Metro PCS service? Thanks for any and all help!

This is an upgrade from the LG L9, which I've had for almost 2 years. The L9 served me well. Fortunately it had a thriving forum section and there was an easy one click root for it so I was able to app to SD (the L9's internal space is terribly small) I am moderately keen on how to get the most...

Lucky I find this article in XDA how to get tether to work so here it goes One way to make it possible to use the native hotspot is to install Xposed framework and then install the Wanam Xposed app. Afterwards go to the system tab inside the app and there should be an option to disable the...

T-Mobile just recently released an ota update for the Avant (software version G386TUVU1ANK3) and after I installed it, TWRP wouldn't install and and CF auto root wouldn't work either. My only way to get root access again was to flash the older firmware (G386TUVU1ANHA) through Odin then flash...

I have already posted this over at XDA but since they do not have an official channel for this I did not bother to create a new thread. I have attached a flashable file that you can use TWRP on to add the bluetooth toggle switch to your menu and give your device the needed bluetooth bnep profile...

I can't find any setting to turn on haptic feedback for the back button or recent app button. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks

Since there is no alternative ROMs available, I searched forums and tried to remove some bloatware apps. Below are some apps that have been frozen or removed. These snaps were taken in Sep 2014, since then some apps may have been reactivated (Youtube etc.) Just post it here to share. I assume...

What busybox version should I use for the Avant?

Now I dont have any developer experience, basically what I am saying is just what I believe would be common knowledge. Anyways, I saw that the Galaxy Avant has nearly the same exact specs as the Moto G (1st edition) as in the same exact chipset, same CPU and GPU. How hard would it be to use a...

Team Win Recovery Project 2.x, or twrp2 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. Its a fully touch driven user interface no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just...

Is there anyone working on unlocking the bootloader? If not how can we ask if a developer will try?
