Right on temp! I try to show my appreciation as loud as possible ;)
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] kwood129:
I'm also having the problem with the black screen. With the exception of the stock rom I've never been able to see a boot animation with any other rom. I've tried every root method mentioned, CWM and philz both will come up fine but twrp will also show the black screen till it times out and goes to sleep. After that i can see the twrp screen. Rooting isn't the problem because the stock rooted rom works fine. One thing that I should mention is that if I do a hot reboot then I get the boot animation just fine. It's a little frustrating because when its rebuilding the dalvik you have no way of knowing if the rom actually works or you're just sitting there for nothing. Hope this info is helpful.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] tempdroid:
Thank you for the additional info. Crash provided me with some video, I'll have a look and maybe find a solution. I'll provide a zip later, which restores the standard Sammy bootanimation. Maybe this helps using RocketTab convenient without blank screen and you can still use the RocketTab logo as wallpaper, if you like ;) It is included in the basic wallpapers...
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] tempdroid:
Hi [MENTION=1991104]Crash1014[/MENTION] and [MENTION=248965]kwood129[/MENTION],

I've uploaded a MOD with the original Sammy bootanimation files. Please flash this and report back, if it works now.

You can find the MOD in the [MOD section].

If not, the following might be worth trying:

1) Try v1 of PhilZ recovery, it was a little slow, but working all the time for me. Go [here]

2) Try to flash a non touch recovery, maybe CWM Recovery v6.0.4.5 [Unofficial]

If everything fails we have to investigate further. I never ran into such an issue, sorry to say...

[MENTION=5598412]tempdroid[/MENTION]

I've tried everything you recommended and still have the issue. I've never seen anything like this either. If it's a boot loader issue it's usually all devices or no devices having the issues. I'm still going to use the rom. The blank screen doesn't really bother me. If there is anything else I can give you to help fix it though just let me know. :silly:

[MENTION=1991104]Crash1014[/MENTION] Without "ioncarv" parameter, it's mean you have the old bootloader version. Should be fixed by blackhawk kernel, have no idea why it does not work in your case.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] Crash1014:
I'm not sure why it doesn't work either. I don't know if this helps at all, but there's the kernel info from my tablet. I doubt there is a way to update the boot loader.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] tempdroid:
Thanks for trying to help...

I can upload latest rooted Sammy kernel, which I actually use for RocketTab 3.0 alpha testing, if you wanna give it a try... It's made for T210 though, but should generally work.

SM-T210, using Philz as recovery. Any news to fix this annoying issue?

Great job btw.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] ketut.kumajaya:

I'll test anything you need me to test.

I've all ready done that multiple times. Thanks for the suggestion though.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] tempdroid:
Thanks, check your pm.

Check your pm...
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] lahegry:
I'll test if you need me.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] tempdroid:
Have you encountered a blank bootscreen as well?
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] lahegry:
No, I got around that by completely erasing reformatting unrooting going back to stock, then rerooting. Worked like a charm, but if you need a tester as a blank I'll be happy to help.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] tempdroid:
Thanks mate, if I reach beta stage, I'll send you a pm...

[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] tempdroid:
I'm currently working to prepare a kernel for all T210R users who suffered a blank screen recently. This seems to be related to the bootloader of some variants, let's hope that this will fix your problem and give you the full RocketTab experience :)

Stay tuned...

Thank you for every donation...

Hello [MENTION=5615157]polly2013[/MENTION], thank you for supporting my effort in bringing you the best ROM for your Tab 3 7.0. This is highly appreciated. Go check your pm and don't forget to look at the Hall of Donors :) :good:

Can't get sdcard to work
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] tempdroid:
Could you be a little more precise? App2SD is currently not supported on that device (even if the option shows up), if you meant that...
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] Upstreammiami:
Says it's full when its not
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] tempdroid:
Yes, sad to say, the problem is known, but no solution up to now... Samsung just disabled the whole functionality :(
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] Upstreammiami:
Is there any rom that has that working? Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] tempdroid:
Not that I know of... There are already question topics on XDA. I someone knows a real solution, he can post here or drop me a pm so I can implement as well...

Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] Upstreammiami:
So your saying staying not rooted was a better option? Cause it worked before
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] tempdroid:
Can someone confirm this working before? Please tell me, are you on T210R and which original firmware did you use before [so I can have a look at it]

I did not left anything out [trust me :)], just enabled the option to move, it was not there before, but as you say it did not work...
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] Upstreammiami:
Yes 210r and I haven't changed any firmware or should I?
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] tempdroid:
Mate, I'm just preparing an optimized kernel for T210R users, since some users on T210R experience a blank screen while booting on every custom ROM, I'll have a look at that US ROM, if I find App2SD working as well, I'll start investigating which part might be missing in T210 firmware...

Thanks for the info. I'll post here, if I found out...
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] Upstreammiami:
Awesome thanks... And Yea i get that screen also
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] tempdroid:
Hello T210R users,

if you've encountered that blank screen while booting [not all are affected, depends on bootloader, but you will know :)], there might be a fix for this. I've uploaded the latest rooted T210R kernel, please have a look in the MOD section and report back, if this solves your problem and gives you the full RocketTab experience...

Do a nandroid backup just in case [should be best practice anyway ;)]

I'm looking forward for your comments.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] Crash1014:
It boots and displays the animation! It crashed on me the first time. It just restarted my tablet about three minutes after the first boot. It booted back up and so far so good! Great job and thank you! I'll have a donation for you next week. It sucks getting paid biweekly!

*Edit* My WiFi is acting strange now. This may just be my wireless, but only certain apps will connect. WiFi shows as connected. TapaTalk App works, but Playstore doesn't. It's half and half on which ones work and don't work. Again, this could be my WiFi. My S4 works on everything though. Can anyone confirm or deny if it's the new kernel? Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] tempdroid:
Hi mate, thanks for the info. Can you go into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache. This should be done before flashing new kernel...

Tell me if this fixes your Wi-Fi problem.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] Crash1014:
I just did a fresh clean install with the new kernel and everything seems great now!
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] tempdroid:
That's great news. Thanks for testing. If everything stays well and other users which had this problem can confirm this as well, I'll consider it done :)

Now Christmas can come... :)
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] Crash1014:
Thank you again for all your help tempdroid. You have a great Christmas snd a happy New Year. :sly:
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] cdndroid:
Thanks tempdroid! RocketTab is probably the most stable and snappiest custom rom I've tried lately!

Thank you for reviving my GT3.7 T210R, infrared works, no black screen.

Am on lite version with the kernel packed. Tried blackhawk but seemed to be slowing my tab down a bit, is it only me or others have the same experience? I reverted back to the one that came with the rom.

Great work! Looking forward to the next update.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] kwood129:
Everything seems to be working great now. The blackhawk kernal was definitely causing problems but your new kernal is making everything nice and smooth. Seeing the boot animation is great to see again. Cant wait to see what you come up with next!
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] Crash1014:
I almost forgot to say thank you to tempdroid for Neil (I don't know his XDA handle). He can't reply to the forum, but has been emailing me about the blank screen. It's fixed now and he thanks you tempdroid.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] tempdroid:
Thank you, mate. You did help a lot as well :)

Thanks for testing IR. Great...

Good to see this work on T210 devices with old bootloader as well :) Thanks.

Fine, blank bootscreen topic is solved, all users affected should flash my new kernel from the MOD section in Post #2...
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] Crash1014:
Anytime you need help just ask! I for one would like to see this rom keep moving forward. If I can contribute by testing then I'll test. :D
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] kwood129:
One other thing that ive noticed by using the new kernel is that my screen jitter is gone. There is another post about this issue and of course some people right away say there is something wrong with the hardware. The kernel was the problem and once again im grateful. My tab seems to be running quite well and responsive now. Great work!
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] tempdroid:
Thanks mate for this additional info. This sounds great!!! I've posted this in the Q&A threads, maybe we can reach some more users and finally get their Tabs usable ;) :good:

[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] tempdroid:
Thanks, mates. Yes you can spread the word... :p

And we need new video reviews as well, but this can wait until 3.0...

Are you into theming? You can drop me a pm and we can try adding some more magic... :thumbup::)
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] Crash1014:
Let me know... I will give you screen shots, Screen records and maybe video reviews. LoL. :cool:
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] tempdroid:
Thanks man, I can post screenshots, I'll have to test my ROM in any way :) But if 3.0 is ready, which will still take some time, then I would be glad, if you could do a new video review, we currently only have for RocketTab v1.0...

My wifi started acting up again. Only letting some apps connect and other say no connection. I did a clean install and I'm going to run it for a few days with just the included apps on it. This way I'll know if it's one of my apps causing the issue. I'll keep everyone posted. :D

T210R users - try latest MK1 kernel MOD!!!

Hi Crash,

now this problem is finally solved, please flash the new kernel MOD from Post #2....

Some tweaks were not compatible with the kernel. After flashing everything should work as expected, I had the problems with PlayStore for myself and could reproduce...

All T210 users can try this as well, I tested successfully on mine :)

Have a Merry Christmas now...
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] BRIMS7ON3:
I flashed the rom, and it shows the samsung screen, then goes black. It stays black(though you can see the backlight is lit), and then after a few minutes I can hit the power button twice, and the lockscreen appears. It seems to run fine after that, but rebooting gets the same thing.

Any suggestions?

If it matters, I used the recovery you recommended..Philz..
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] cdndroid:
I flashed black hawk 1.8 back and after a while seems like I'm liking it more than the T210r kernel.

Maybe it's just my own personal feeling.

I don't do a whole lot on my T210R anyways, just casually bedside browsing, little bit of youtubing, and some clash of clans.

Thanks again tempdroid, well looking forward to your Rocket Tab 3.0
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] Crash1014:

[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] Svenskaslynan:
Just got this tab. Satisfied with rockettab so long, running blackhawn kernel and everything runs fine. Satisfied that all the bloatware is removed. Hate it! keep up the good work!
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] xsycox:
Hi guys,

I am using a T210 with the newest version of this ROM

and I also flashed the new kernel from the second post,

but for some reason I can go online with the browser, but

not with the Play store. Logging in does not work or so.

Also, syncing calender and such stuff are not working.

On the other hand Facebook or other apps do get data

from the internet.

Does anyone know, what is wrong here?
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] Crash1014:
How long ago did you flash the kernel? It was updated yesterday with a fix for this issue. Also, it has to be the stock modded kernel. Not Blackhawk.

---------- Post added at 05:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:04 PM ----------

I use it and I haven't had any issues yet.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] xsycox:
Actually, yesterday around 11 pm and again 5 minutes ago. This file:

- RocketTab2.0_MOD_T210R_Kernel.zip
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] Crash1014:
Did you wipe cache and dalvik cache? I had the same issue and that kernel fixed it.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] xsycox:
Yeah, before and after. I am very thorough about that. :)

It gets even worse: I thought, maybe the kernel does not

work on my device very good, so I should go back to the

standard Mk9 or Blackhawk.

The (not so) funny thing is, the Play store, calender, ...

is still not working.

Looks like something is messed up now, but everything

was working before ... and most other apps are still doing

fine. I mean, getting data from the net.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] Crash1014:
I have no idea then. I did a clean install with the new kernel just to make sure everything was right. That might be your best bet unless someone else has any ideas.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] xsycox:
Btw, is there something like a uninstall zip for that FULL package?

I was just installing to check, if that fits the Play store problem, but

now I am really annoyed by the overwhelming amount of useless

apps. :)
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] gr8nole:
Factory reset should restore access to play store.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] xsycox:
Maybe it does, maybe it does not, but I am losing

everything I had installed and configured.

That should be the very last step to go, I think.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] Crash1014:
Have you tried going into your app manager and clearing the data for the the play store?
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] Ripshock:
This is a very nice rom, I emphasize you, good job!

But just one question, is there a performance difference between he lite and the full addon package
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] Crash1014:
I doubt it. I believe it is just all the bloat added when you flash the full version. I could be wrong though. :sly:
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] tempdroid:
Mate, did you do a full wipe, when first installing RocketTab?

Which version do you have exactly? T210 or T210R?

Which region code do you have?

Did you take a full nandroid backup before?
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] tempdroid:
You can use a root file explorer like Ghost Commander to delete all unwanted apps from system/apps, there's a complete list in post no. 3...
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] tempdroid:
Thanks, mate.

There is a big performance difference because of all those apps running in the background, taking memory, listening to events etc.

I would not go for full package unless you want all apps. As written in post no. 3, you can use this as template to create your own full package with just everything you need...
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] Crash1014:
Well, I figured that fact was a given... :sly: I meant any mods you did separate between the two.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] tempdroid:
:) Yes, there are further modifications, but that would remain with full as well...
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] Ripshock:
Ok, I do 't want all apps I just wanted my tmemo back because there is a snb file and I want to view it, any suggestion?
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] xsycox:
The exact story:

The device is a T210, bought in Germany. On December, 04th I installed RocketTab 2.0 with Blackhawk 1.8. Everything was working, even, if not so well (WiFi sucks on Tab 3).Of course, full wipe before installing, but no Nandroid backup afterwards. :(

Three days ago I flashed the new kernel (in second post), because everyone was loving it. So, internet is still working for some apps, but not for all, e.g. Play store, calender, ... etc. It seems, the google account is not recognised properly or so.

So, I tried to flash the Mk9 kernel or even flashed RocketTab 2.0 (with Full package) again and still the problems with the Play store exists.

That saying, I really do not know, where to go from here (without doing a factory reset and losing everything). I even installed another market app, because I thought, it went corrupt.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] tempdroid:
I'll try to help you today in the evening, if my time allows...
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] bierma32:
Delete your google account,boot your Tab into recovery mode and wipe cache and wipe dalvik

Update for all v2.0 users

Hi RocketTab fans,

all v2.0 users don't have to download the whole package and flash again, there's a little update file for flashing.

No FULL WIPE neccessary... Wipe cache and dalvik cache is a good practice...
