Hey OP any idea if GPS will be fixed? It doesn't lock in specially when using GPS apps like Waze and Maps. I don't be on much anymore but a glimpse of this issue will greatly help :).
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] creep138:
If he did, he did. I just hear a lot of demands in these threads. Seems like there's a a new thread or post daily about it someone demanding they want cm now. Maybe I'll just go back to the s3 forums.

All I'm saying if people want this so bad, they should develop it themselves and see if they can do it or just stop complaining and play with stock for once.
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] shakeelajmal:
hmmm yes now need to learn android development too as i want to see KK working in my tab like nexus 7 :D

[MENTION=839943]interloper[/MENTION] - do you plan on submitting your work to CyanogenMod so they will officially support our device?
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] interloper:
Once it's all working. There are already some device inclusions in the official cm msm8930-common tree for us. I'm really close to being able to submit into the kernel repo too.

And no, I haven't stopped developing, there just hasn't been much progress. GPS requires me to go somewhere else and I'm disabled so I don't go out much. I'd upload more builds but my internet is terrible and I can't really use it while builds are uploading. I understand about wanting everything to work and this is the general section so I'm not going to get all forum thread hitler for peoples comments, but keep these things in mind.
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] JohnCorleone:
So aside from camera and GPS this ROM has working WiFi, data, etc? Man an I glad I stumbled on this thread. Maybe if we spread the sword that Sprint is offering these at $5 (I was offered up to 5 of them) then MAYBE there can be a late development surge like on the OG Epic keyboard slide out phone. I honestly have taken 2 pictures and used the GPS once and just to see if it was accurate. I can't wait to flash this! Huge thanks to Interloper who has come through big before as well!

Oh man, am I happy right now! I was wondering what build those who have been flashing the available builds feel is the best. The only thing I noticed is a slight flicker in the most current CM build. I will try out the other ROM I read about as well but this is great progress!

I an doing some testing for Djdarkknight and KlearKat is coming first followed by his BlakKat aka Dark Jelly, Dark Ice, Dark Ginger. I love the dark look on Samsung devices! Thanks Interloper! I can double check but I believe I have around 30 gigs available for hosting on DevHost if help is needed there.... please keep bringing the great work if you have time:thumbup::thumbup:

Its just some graphical glitches but its livable. Use the last one posted cause one of them had a charging problem. If you haven't flashed a gapps or just wanna get it over with, use slimkats gapps, everything's black with stock Google apps.I can confirm working, but some text is black on black when you type in YouTube search or play store search.

Haven't really noticed a bug that made me wanna get off this yet, so it is a daily for me

Flash CWM via Odin like every other tablet right?

How do I go back to stock? Just make a backup I guess?
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] creep138:
Yea, make a backup, wipe system, data, and cache. Format and flash away. Just be careful not to hit format SD card
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] agentfazexx:
I need the .tar version of CWM from the download link in the OP for Odin, correct?
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] creep138:
I'm using twrp and its flashing things just fine. If your already rooted just try what you have now, if it fails just restore and get the cwm on the download page.
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] agentfazexx:
I am 100% stock and need to flash CWM via Odin to proceed installing this ROM. IIRC, the .tar is needed for that?
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] creep138:
Didn't know you were that kind of stock lol. Here's some info and DL links for you

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2514821
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] agentfazexx:
So it's the same as any other Samsung.

Backup is finished in recovery. Flashing this now. Looks like 4/8 is the latest version based on the link in the OP?

Okay so it seems to be working fine. I had LTE before switching to wifi.

Two things I noticed

1. Weird display issues, already reported before though.

2. I don't have a recent apps list when I hold the home button down...
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] JohnCorleone:
I agree and actually Carbon only has slight glitches at the very top of the screen...almost unnoticeable. Also if I use Magic Smoke wallpaper somehow everything seems perfect. I may try the same on the last CM build as well. WiFi, 3G, LTE, all work, Netflix works and the sound is nice and loud.. Oh and my music is loud as well so its way more polished than I expected. If you add Seeder app or flash Crossbreeder it adds some zip and smoothness as well...and I have 1 hour 10 minutes screen time and 89% battery so I am liking this so far! This is great for being an Alpha imo

[Galaxy Tab 3 General] agentfazexx:
Great indeed minus a few flaky areas.
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] JohnCorleone:
Yeah but that is the definition of an Alpha. I have seen "beta" builds that are nowhere near this functional. Do me a favor though, if you restore your stock nandroid let me know how it works out for you. I flashed one other TW ROM and my great modified stock TW based backups are not booting , not because of these ROMs but I think I am here for the long haul. Let me check if my SmartRemote I bought works. IheartRadio, Tune In and Netflix run great. The graphical issues are similar to the early 4.4.2 KitKat builds on the Sprint GNex but one tiny code change fixed it all. I will have to do some thread reading because the devs were looking deep in the code and it was right up front and suddenly the old Sprint GNex has some great KitKat ROMs. It feels reborn...fast and smooth

Sent from my SM-T217S using Xparent Gray Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] agentfazexx:
I'll try and remember to do so, if I ever flash back to stock. TW is garbage and legitimately pisses me off to use.
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] JohnCorleone:
Yeah I hear you. I know it was one line of code that solved the little screen glitches on the GNex. I will dig in here shortly....time for some coffee:eek:

What about the recent apps menu? I get nothing when holding down the home button.
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] rjwboys:
home button

in settings, under buttons ,click long press action, under home button, and set as recent apps switcher
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] JohnCorleone:
Like I said in an earlier post, great for an Alpha! I am looking for that screen issue fix. It was a single post in one thread that basically pinpointed the issue and led to multiple KitKat ROM choices for the good old GNex....but back to this device..and I have been using all of my screen time watching Netflix

Sent from my SM-T217S using Xparent Gray Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] agentfazexx:
I hate to post this but when are we getting an update? It's been almost a month. Just curious!
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] JohnCorleone:
I added the build.prop line I mentioned fixed the issue on the GNex but no luck. I just use one of two live wallpapers and the battery bar and it helps a lot. One is custom from my ET4G days but battery is fine even using the live wallpapers which I never do... I think I may need to pick up one or two more (I got offered 5) and hound some devs but also entice them with a device but.....I plan on grabbing the HTC M8 Harman/Kardon edition thats Sprint only, comes with low end H/K headphones, is getting great reviews and is $230 on 2 year upgrade. I am glad I waited. They added some other stuff as well but it supposedly blows away the stock version and previous Beats versions........ But back to this device, it seems a lot of devs are done with Samsung unless its a Note or unlocked International Version. I hope not though. 5 of my 7 hours of screen time was Netflix so hopefully this device gets picked up and gets official support

There are always add ons to experiment with although I have to find the best Xperia Walkman version to try. This is the newest Z2 and the live wallpapers I use. If anyone wants the second one, PM me

[Galaxy Tab 3 General] interloper:
I see people complaining of graphics glitches, but I don't have them. Also, I haven't abandoned the device at all. I've been drafted into the m8 bringup and it keeps me busy. I don't mean to make ya'll feel like 2nd class citizens, but I assure you all, this device will be official ASAP. The kernel is nearly ready to merge and I'm chatting with nardholio and invisiblek regularly about this and other devices I work on. We're all very busy. The only thing that will stop that from happening is if I have to cut my rather expensive internet service to pay other bills.
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] creep138:
Its just minor glitches, not much to complain on my end but I'll let you k ow what I've seen.

Raising the volume the on screen notification thing shows where it was originally.

Some games like flick home run (maybe others) will have a black line when its fast paced.

When you type the blinking line to show where your at become 3, or just one fat line.

Nothing major at all. I still use it as my daily.
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] Kevin cracolici:
I know that I have not experienced any graphical issues, only issue I have is the camera not working, (besides being a crappy camera) lol
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] agentfazexx:
Weird. My time jumped ahead by 4 hours. It's a little after 10am now and it thinks it's after 2pm.
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] JohnCorleone:
So let me get some opinions here....so I finally figured out why Odin flashing the UANB8 firmware didn't work. I was stuck on the Sprint Splash screen

I tried to get tricky and sideload the boot loader/CWM SuperSU zip by renaming it "update.zip" and side loading with ADB but of course the signature check failed. Soooo, I was in stock recovery and I just assumed the Odin stock firmware would wipe everything but I did a factory reset and cache wipe and it booted again.

OK, now here's my problem, I have another OTA already! Does anyone know if its 4.3 or possibly KitKat (I highly doubt that)? I suppose I can update and if I can't get root and recovery I can drop back down Should I just do it?!

can i flash this with twrp and what if any are the vers. of gapps recommended? only really using this device to read comics and clash of clans ans some light browsing of the interwebs....... think ill run into any issues?
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] shawn718:
Go date and time uncheck automatic time zone.

"walk by Faith, not by sight"
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] agentfazexx:
Rebooting fixed it. Weird
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] Robisgnarly:
also getting the screen glitches on both cm11(latest vers.) and on carbon.... its weird though that when i went to screen record it...... the glitches didn't show up on the finished video, however they were present during the recording?

Edit: wondering if there may be a HW difference in our devices, on those having the screen issue and those whom do not.

my HW vers. is .04. Possibly they switched the touch panel or something out for something different or cheaper?
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] JohnCorleone:
They disappear with Magic Smoke wallpaper as well. Let me check out my HW version.....brb
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] Robisgnarly:
Completely disapear? Will have to try that, wanted this tablet as a comic reader but cant read the comics with the amount of glitching going on. Other than that loVe having aosp on here
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] JohnCorleone:
Well you may see a little flicker where the screen meets the top edge but if you add a battery bar (an option in Carbon) then its good. I actually got back to stock working and everything but I need to flash CM11 because Djdarkknight just finished his first BlakKat alpha theme (aka....Dark Jelly, Dark Ice, Dark Ginger. He's the original inverted themer
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] Robisgnarly:
Unfortunately it has not been just a small flicker, it happens in all apps cannot read comics this way :(
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] agentfazexx:
Wonder when we're getting an update?
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] JohnCorleone:
If you are on the latest firmware you should Odin flash back to stock and try the XThemer5 module for Xposed. The themes aren't as complete because of the Knox and still being odexed but I am stock with that and Gravity Box for status bar mods and extended power menu and Pie. Don't expect much as far as the settings except some icons

Here's the Xposed theme module.... https://www.dropbox.com/s/acnx0d5u0jgx5ab/XThemeEngine_beta5.apk

And here's the thread with all of the modified CM themes, I am using Elegant Dusk I think...

2 things:

1- you realize that asking about ETA's and updates is I believe against XDA policy, these guys all volunteer their time and don't get paid for this and..

2- I can assure you that almost 99% of the time that you ask a question like that you are not going to get the response you are looking for..

Just saying.
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] creep138:
Well, he could go the route of Samsung and never update again if that's what your asking
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] Robisgnarly:
so after a bit of curiosity, for those with screen issues what is your recovery? i switched to cwm from twrp and after i flashed the latest carbon rom, would like to say that it made the screen a lot less of a headache..... not nearly as bad as it was previously.
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] creep138:
Running twrp and yes I run into some glitches, but nothing like what some are saying. Only when when a game goes to fast is the best way to explain. Just a black line.
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] JohnCorleone:
I wouldn't be surprised if only a few devs try to tackle this project I didn't get external SD recognized but stock is so bloated I can guarantee that Carbon gets better battery overall. Plus they are burying jnox all over the place

Is there a more current CM build than what was posted thevlast time I asked? I have their new theme engine and an theme to twstvas well but maybe I should stick with my GNex?
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] agentfazexx:
I was just asking the question if this ROM was still supported by the dev as I have not seen much from him. Don't get all bent out of shape, I know the "rules" of CM.
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] sharkboy0901:
What's up guys, kinda new to the Samsung scene but if there is any way I could help let me know. I just got on summer break so I'll have some to on my hands and I hate touchwiz lol
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] JohnCorleone:
The sad part is there wil be more and more Knox interwoven throughout the stock ROMs. I guess they don't worry about losing the development community but all revolutions start building quietly and when people realize how much info is being saved on each one of us, There was a special on CNN last night and it took 20 seconds for those who collect the info to locate a person by triangulation of a text. I am either grabbing the H/K M8, Nexus 5 or G2on the eigth
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] creep138:
Why worry? The thing that I don't get is why would anyone worry about someone watching them like a soap opera if they're not doing anything wrong? Don't you think these people developing the ROMs we flash aren't watching us? We rooted our stuff, we're probably being laughed at at the development community with all the things we do lol. Just think.

We watch celebrities and all up in they're business so what's the difference? If you don't want people watching you, don't watch them.
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] JohnCorleone:
Well I am not worried about that part. I am worried because I have been hearing from some good developers that soon it is going to be MUCH more difficult to root and deodex a Samsung device. I have every paid app including abdb remount, which gives stock kernels adb remount ability. Now where Knox is at if you turn on USB debugging and have a kernel with adb remount ability, Developer options just toggles off. I flashed the stock firmware and everything was not tampered and I still couldn't take the new OTA. I think they are coding it in the kernel, bootloader and in several system apps. Samsung hasn't switched up their white orange and green stock look since before I even knew what root was.

I have been carefully reading through app data, deleting as much bloat as possible and I flashed Crossbreeder which tweaked some settings and suddenly I was able to theme my pulldown toggles. I am going to take a chance with deleting the odex file and see if I can do something with the settings menu. It does actually have an invert color option in Display but its not exactly art.

I know what you mean, my favorite root apps are root explorer and titanium backup, both paid. I don't really mind tw, just the lag and size of the DPI. Why have a large screen if your just gonna make your icons bigger lol.

There will always be a way around these things. No one can make security perfect, not even NSA themselves. Look what happened with windows 7 and they helped micro$oft with it lol
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] JohnCorleone:
I had 6 straight Samsung devices before I picked up the HTC One M7. The Note 2 was on AT&T as was my M7 but I unlocked the SIM and I get unlimited everything for $70 a month. Now I have 2 Sprint upgrades 3 months apart. I am leaning towards the Harmon/Kardan M8 but the Nexus 5 is great as is the LG G2 and LG Flex. It has to be tri band ready because look at this map. I am in the exact center. Can't wait to see LTE on Sprint because T-Mobile is bringing the HEAT plus WiFi calling and text for free. But the International one X, the Note 2 and this M7 are my all time favorite devices.

Sent from my HTC One using Xparent Gray Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] creep138:
Personally I'd go with the g2 or n5, the flex seems OK at first but then once its in your pocket its awkward. The m8 is actually good, but my stand point is I never get insurance on anything and you can't repair the m8 yourself without tearing it up. The g2 is really nice, its surprising to see lg kicking a lot of ass lately. I owned the original g, and that never lagged with the specs it had and the stock lg firmware.
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] JohnCorleone:
Oh I was told its the same quad core chip as the S5 and M8 and the Nexus 5 is very nice. I was struggling between these same 4 devices the Harmon/Kardan edition has me curious because my M7 was my best device ever with a screen 5 inches and under. On May 9 I am going into my Sprint store and I am going to evaluate all of them. Before I SIM unlocked my M7 I ran Speedtests side by side with my Note 2 and the speed and speeds were double. The M7 had a deep bass but was kind of murky or mid-rangey so Team Venom put the multiple option Beats Enhancer and after a bit it worked without headphones. Coming from Sprint and AT&T briefly I knew Team Venom (ViperROM) is so solid. I had it on a previous International One X and I honestly never had a freeze, sleep of death or any problem except a cheap SIM from T-Mobile. I kept this theme alive (for myself...lol) from 4.2 all the way up to KitKat so its a front runner but I love the new Xperia Zi I think but it's on T-Mobile. Now that being said, I still have a working NS4G rolled back to 4.1 for WiMax tethering and you wouldn't believe my Galaxy Nexus. . I need some strong opinions but Spark is a must. I am under a huge Spark umbrella. These are some extend numbers but I got 2 days + with over 5 hours screen time everyday no matter the use. One min for my Nexus argument...,.lol

[Galaxy Tab 3 General] creep138:
Idk, I never really liked any themed stock ROMs, I think they look to clunky. Beats mods don't do it for me either cause I use power amp. I flashed a few from venom when he developed for the og evo 4g when no one really knew of cyanogenmod.

The g2 has more pluses in my opinion. The volume buttons on the back is a nice touch. If speed is your thing, the n5 being stock to begin with will always be the fastest.
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] Robisgnarly:
i have the g2 and i love it most the time, i wish i would have gone with the n5....... the only pluses in the vs front between the g2 and n5 is the g2 has a better camera, i hate the button layout.

[Galaxy Tab 3 General] interloper:
Hi. So I've been real busy with the M8, but last night I took some time to make a new build with some more small changes in the kernel and some missing bins. Also, there's an updated CWMR with working sideload. Overall not anything major, but USB should be more stable, FFMPEG decoding, sideload and the camera is a bit closer, though still not working. I've been learning a lot from the other guys on the M8 so I will bring everything I can back here. Logs are clean for sure. Cameras init properly as shown by the kmsg. It'll be a couple hours before the links are good though. Also, I've opened the repo's bacl up and if anyone wants to help let me know and I'll add as contributors or maybe start a new github account to work with those who are able.

Recap:

Better init

Better USB

Better recovery

Closer camera

Possible worse GPS :(

FFMPEG media decoding

Upload ready in two hours.

I like coffee.

Cheers.

I got about 8hrs screen time yesterday with ~30% battery left on 3g with the M8 CM. I've been really impressed with it overall. The Snapdragon 801 is not the same as the 800 in that regard. Also, the 801 is coupled with Adreno400+ and has a much better audio situation. I'm sure the OnePlusOne will be even better.
