Don't worry I fixed it myself but thanks for your help!
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] safariking:
Pretty funny the most of the system apps of the galaxy tab 3 8inch are working on the T210

tested so far:

- SecBrowser

- SecSettings/provider

- SystemUI

- Secwallpaperchooser

Not working:

- Framework-res.apk

- TWframework-res.apk

EDIT:

lucky for use these apps are now themeable because they don't use the .qmg files anymore only .png files :good:

As far as i know it doesnt
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] konsti:
Thanks for your reply [MENTION=3034891]gr8nole[/MENTION]. Pardon my ignorance, guys…

I had rooted the tab when I bought it (had 4.1.x) and then install custom recovery and RocketTab 3.1. After that, upon your 1.8 release, I rebooted into Philz recovery, made factory defaults and wiped for new ROM option, then installed yours. Does that qualify "full KK firmware"?

I have not touched or downloaded anything from Sammy at all… Still got the kernel that came with your v1.8 ROM i.e. 3.4.5werewolf+ Cheers!
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] DevMyAndroid:
No, this rom doesnt cound as full kk because the official kk firmware comes with a new bootloader.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] gr8nole:
Any interest in 4 way multiwindow???
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] DevMyAndroid:
Heck yes!!

[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] Ripshock:
Yeah if possible.....
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] MaXim.ArHein:
For me no need for 4x multiwindow :) I hardly using 2 window.

Its a good rom,little more modification and that it...w8 for u to get back from holiday,and build 1.9 :) :) :)
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
Sammy replied back with new kernel source for t210r :) going to see what changed gr8nole and report back
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] gr8nole:
Only 3 files are different than the T210 source. Will update on next kernel build.

Edit: Updates can be found HERE.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] jboyed1999:
YES!!! And Floating window would be nice but not needed immediately. :laugh:
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] gr8nole:
Ok folks....I need a little feedback from you.

Give this launcher a try and report back your results. It is the same T310 launcher with some modded values for faster page scrolling.

Let me know if it seems faster to you.

ps. Don't try this launcher if you chose to keep the old style launcher/weather during install.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] Sock12345:
Will givr it a try at home :)

[MENTION=3034891]gr8nole[/MENTION] it's tottaly much better, everything is faster now and in-apps also but idk if it's the same sped as the original launcher of sm-t210/r but for now i am happy also ram is now less than 700 mb :happy: the keyboadd also has noticed faster also boot-up, scrolling is fine for me as it's now. Also what ks very noticable to me when using an app (anyone) after i long press home button it takes a while but now it's not p.s it's been an hour testing, opened many apps and still fast so thank you v.m but idk what this one differ from the other launcher?! O.o
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] safariking:
[MENTION=3034891]gr8nole[/MENTION] do you have any idea how we can solve that annoying reboot to recovery thing? i am getting tired of flashing twrp then flashing stock fire up odin again flashing twrp etc...

this is because of the new bootloader right?
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] gr8nole:
Only use the 3-button method to boot into custom recovery. I haven't had to install stock recovery since I started using that method.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] safariking:
okay gonna try that
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] ndg_2000:
Seems faster to me :)
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] DevMyAndroid:
Can we just mod the stock recovery to be able to flash unsighned files?
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] gr8nole:
We don't have source code for stock recovery.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] Ripshock:
So guys, the reboot to recovery issue is creadted after you have flash the stock rom because it installs the new bootloader?
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] gr8nole:
You are confusing roms and firmware. Roms do not come with bootloaders. Firmware is normally flashed with Odin and may (or may not) come with a new bootloader.

Now, to answer your question. Yes, the new bootloader seems to be causing the recovery issues. I suspect that some people have had this new bootloader (or similar one) for some time now. I have seen many people report issues about getting stuck in custom recoveries where the stock recovery is the only option to get the system to boot.

None of the previous firmware updates have had a bootloader in them until the 4.4.2 firmware updates. I believe some people may have bought there device with the newer bootloader already installed from Samsung.

One last thing, even if you do install the new firmware, you can still use custom recoveries as normal just as long as you always use the 3-button method to boot into recovery.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] Ripshock:
I have saide because of its new bootloader i meant the stock rom not 4.4 custom roms, anyways thanks for telling me but is a bootloader a hardware or is it just a software?
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] svicenty:
Wow new launcher much faster
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] Estevão Antolin:
I just have to flash this on recovery? hahaha
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] DevMyAndroid:
yes. Just flash. [MENTION=3034891]gr8nole[/MENTION] ole, this new launcher is amazing.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] RockasKane:
Again... Wouldnt it be wiser to remove the reboot into recovery option from the power menu?

---------- Post added at 11:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:16 PM ----------

Anyone usually using Nova Premium can give an opinion how the new launcher compares to it?
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] DevMyAndroid:
I have used nova premium, any launcher i have ever used cannot even compare to the new one. I love the new launcher.

---------- Post added at 11:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:27 PM ----------

I need someone to upload the stock recovery.img, i think i might mess around with it a bit...
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] HerroYou:
Just download stock SM-T210R firmware then unpack it yourself then take the recovery.img and place it onto your sdcard

Then open the terminal and type

flash_image recoveryonly /sdcard/recovery.img
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] chinosmt:
It doesn't work for me :( I tried it too many times, I had to get back to stock firmware (I was using Samsung kitkat before installing the custom recovery and your rom)
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] gr8nole:
There is a flashable stock recovery zip in the addons of post #2.

Anyone else interested in phone style wifi indecator? Like when you have 4 bars of wifi it says 4GLTE, and when you have 3 bars it says 4G, 2 bars and it says 3G, 1 bar and it says (i dont know what to put as this one.)
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] Estevão Antolin:
I also use Nova, and this is the best launcher so far!

have you wiped data and cache?
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] RockasKane:
Yes it works, but the three button method is not to fix the problem just to prevent it.

Just turn off the tablet... boot into recovery with 3 buttons method.

Flash V1.8

And from now on (at least until the problem is fixed... if it will ever be) never reebot into recovery!

When you need to flash something... turn of the Tab... use always 3 buttons.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] safariking:
Here the 4 way reboot menu with the option to reboot to recovery removed.

i have no idea if it is working so please give me feedback

https://s.basketbuild.com/devs/safariking/test things/

paste this file in system/framework and reboot
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] bukog25:
How to add the feature, that kills an open app when long pressing the menu?:)
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] gr8nole:
v1.9.update is up!!!

This is just a small update so it does require that you have a previously installed version of the full 1.8 rom.

CHANGELOG

Removed Recovery option from the Reboot menu. (only use 3-button method to boot into recovery).

Tweaked launcher for faster page scrolling

Black themed Settings

New kerNole.1.04 kernel (includes T210R KK source updates)

4-way multiwindow
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] Ripshock:
*Removed*
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] Ripshock:
But reboot to recovery is working with me, just add it as an optin to aroma installer please
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] gr8nole:
To keep things simple, I recommend everyone always use the 3-button method.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] Ripshock:
Ok could you just upload all the updates without the removal of reboot to recovery, i would be greatful
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] gr8nole:
No, you can just remove the android.policy.jar from the zip before flashing. All future versions will include this (unless we find a fix).

Sent from my SCH-I605
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] Ripshock:
ok, but did you make any other changes to android.policy.jar other than the removal of reboot to recover?
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] gr8nole:
No other changes. :good:
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] Ripshock:
Ok. Look i think i have found the fix for reboot to recover problem, since the new bootloader is doin the issue and also it comes with the stock rom, why don't you guys just flash the old sm-t210r 4.1.2 android and it will install with the old bootloader and then flash your nolekat 1.8 rom only.

Btw i have deleted framework folder from your update 1.9 and flashed it successfully and the results are way much better as the new modified launcher is very fast and i liked the black themed settings besides it's not that big deal but thanks anyhow's. I love it!!!!!!
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] gr8nole:
None of the 4.1.2 firmware releases have a bootloader included.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] Ripshock:
Then contact sammy for the old bootloader

Or since my tab still has the old bootloader just tell me how to get it out of the system and i will upload it
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] integraletotale:
Hi gr8nole,

I'd like to start by thanking you for all the time and effort you are putting into this device.

I've got a little request to make if possible, could you please look at the op message highlighted in red in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/hardware-hacking/chromecast/experimental-enable-mirroring-device-t2812193

This seems to be the missing ingredient required to enable screen mirroring with the Google Chromecast app.

Right now I am getting Google services crash. FYI
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] gr8nole:
The mentioned lib\hw file is included in the rom. You can give that app a try and report if it works. I don't any way to test it.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] konsti:
Dear gr8nole, many thanks for your update and hard-work. I am extremely happy you can keep working on this ROM after your device got bricked.

However, I completely agree with [MENTION=5620856]Ripshock[/MENTION], let us others with older Tab 3's and not the new crappy bootloader, to use that feature! It's been useful so much.

Thank you for your consideration! :good:
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] Strizay:
I use an app called Quickboot Pro, it has a boot to recovery option that works everytime.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] konsti:
OK... so please help me out there as I am a n00b... gr8nole says we can just remove the android.policy.jar file from the v1.9 zip before flashing (all future versions will include this unless we find a fix).

If I do that, will the flashing ZIP file still be accepted? Is there some MD5 checksum being confirmed? Or is this android.policy.jar file not in some list of installed files, that might make Aroma Installer stop/present an error?
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] Ripshock:
Yes, just remove the folder which has android.policy.jar then flash successfully as i did
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] integraletotale:
Ok thanks. Could you please confirm what version ROM included these files for the first time? I'll try to find differences and post back.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] Estevão Antolin:
I never know if I have to wipe data and cache in a update like this

after flashing the recovery ask if I want to wipe data and davlik cache, what I have to do?
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] gr8nole:
It has always been in this rom.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] gr8nole:
Can't hurt to wipe cache and dalvik.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] Estevão Antolin:
I know hahaha, but I don't want to have to reinstall all my apps and lost some app data.

PS: I prefer the white settings menu.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] gr8nole:
The black settings still has a few things that need fixing, but nothing major.

I will probably make the white settings an Aroma option on next full release.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] gr8nole:
Hey guys, I apologize for this, but,

If you downloaded the v1.9 update before the time of this post, please download again.

I initially forgot to add the 4-way multiwindow.

Thanks, sorry about that.

This post probably doesn't belong in this thread but just wanted to get some insight. After updating to 4.4.2 through kies all system apps and apps installed from the play store randomly started force closing to the point where I couldn't really do anything. Not to mention random reboots when an app freezes. I installed philz touch after updating and did a complete wipe to install this rom to see if it would fix it but for some reason apps were still force closing. Anybody got an idea of what's going on?
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] Silvers91:
Working on 1.9 now, my tab works perfectly, so smooth, gaming is better (15544 as a score on Antutu Benchmark), love 4 way multiwindow, all good except for some stuff:

I don't understand why the settings are in black and not white as usual

Google search bar is not working (I click on it but nothing happens)

All in all it's great, can't wait for the final release, thank you gr8nole :)
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] HerroYou:
Install "Google" from the play store to get the google search bar
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] gr8nole:
You are right, it doesn't belong in this thread. Back up anything on your internal sd, then boot into recovery and format data partition. Not wipe, you need a full format of the partition.

I cant install any ROM. It boots to recovery every time. I tried everything from wipe to reinstall official Kitkat ROM from samsung for T210R via Odin. I have this problem with philz touch and TWRP. I think the Aroma Installer is conflicting the ROM INstallation
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] gr8nole:
This has been covered numerous times in this thread. Do not use any software methods to boot into recovery. Only use the 3 button method.

First you will have to reinstall stock recovery to get the OS to boot. Then, install your custom recovery. After that, only boot to recovery with the 3 button method.

[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] konsti:
Dear [MENTION=3034891]gr8nole[/MENTION], as you will most likely make new Aroma options, why don't you consider also making the Recovery Reboot an option as well? You can keep default OFF for most users (to be on safe side) and we will just enable it when installing the new v1.9 (full or update) or any subsequent ROM you kindly create for us…

I never expected to have this device still selling, so that the boot loader causes so much trouble… I thought this device was abandoned by Sammy… anyway.

Many thanks again for listening to our requests all this time! :good:

Hi [MENTION=3034891]gr8nole[/MENTION], on the issue of the World Clock crashing when we select to add a city, I wanted to ask you a question and submit my finding.

Q: Your v1.8 ROM is based on the official release of Kit Kat, right? So this app should behave normally as it hasn't been modified, correct?

NB: I did a (silly) test and installed the 4.1.x version from tempdroid found in the RocketTab thread as separate installation (via recovery). Guess what… the apps crash (both Alarm and World Clock). Just eager in my attempt to see if it's working properly due to some file missing or executable not liking my ROM anymore…

If you have time, do you mind downloading tempdroid's this separate installer and just investigate the contents/permissions etc. of that app? It was working in RocketTab 3.1 so it's not a device incompatibility :D

(long shot, I know, so perhaps people that had KK officially running on Tab III 7-inch perhaps can tell us if they remember this app working properly? unless we are chasing a ghost… so might as well remove that app from your next major release!)

Thanks again.

UPDATE: Same issue with PolarisOffice that was also taken by tempdroid's posts. It crashes upon start. Seems no 4.1.x application is welcome here…

OK, I haven't looked at the tab 3 forum in months. But I see now it got a KK update. There has been a lot of catching. I've read a lot of pages, I want to see if I understand this right, ;

My kids tab 3 came with 4.1 (t-210r) and is still on 4.1.2 custom ROM. Never updated (I never do OEM updates with android). Is it OK to just update recovery and flash this ROM, or is some firmware update necessary? It sounds like not. In fact, it sounds like official FW update borks the bootloader/recovery.

Can I just flash the ROM over current custom ROM after wiping, or must something be done in Odin first (I hope not, I'm totally unfamiliar with Odin, HTC user, myself). ?

Lastly, you are a machine [MENTION=3034891]gr8nole[/MENTION]! What you have contributed to this device and community singlehandedly almost, is beyond belief.
