I don't think the problem come from the ROM, more probably from the CWM recovery.. Its behavior is strange. For example:, it takes several minutes to clear the cache instead a few second with TWRP.
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] eousphoros:
CWM formats the cache partition, I am not sure what twrp is doing. Maybe just a rm -rf /cache/*.

And wow, over 100 downloads of release 10 already. Sorry about any slowness. But go go t1.micro!
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] Kholargol:
I finally was able to have a CWM Recovery stable, so I installed the last ROM. Everything is fine except that there is no root access. I know it's disabled by default on CM11 but root settings should be visible in developer option, right?
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] eousphoros:
hrmm weird, it does look like superuser got nuked. Oh well, just install it thru cwm.
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] SS2006:
Where can I find change logs (like for release 10)
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] eousphoros:
Would you like some cheese with that change log? Only change was I went back to my hwcomposer 1.1 code base to fix the HW overlay issue so people would stop complaining. I mentioned this in the working thread.

It also looks like superuser might have been left out but is easy enough to install if you need it.

Reinstalling the SkyHigh kernel from UpInTheAir reenabled superuser. Not sure why, but I'm not complaining.

Unfortunately the new hwcomposer fix may have broken some video playback. At first it seemed random; some YouTube videos would play and others wouldn't. The same with videos on Facebook in my browser. I finally figured out that videos 720p and higher were failing to play. I switched back to the 9/10 ROM and video playback went back to normal.
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] Kholargol:
Right, installing Skyhigh kernel added the root access in developper mode! Don't feel the need to use a custom kernel but if it makes things work...
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] UpInTheAir:
The original kernel packed with this ROM is actually custom...... ;) So you're just flashing a different custom kernel :)
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] eousphoros:
Though to be fair, mine is just a couple config tweaks and a bit of tweaking with dhd.. Yours is quite the amazing beast.

As for the videos, do you have a YouTube link to one that's broken? I haven't encountered that but if it's what I think it is, it will probably be a quick fix. Then I will stop working on this. Please people stop finding bugs, you are too good at it. ;)

Never mind, I found one. I'll take a look in the morning.
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] Kholargol:
Yeah, by "custom" I means different than the one provided with the ROM. So, I maybe have a custom custom kernel but this one brang back root access so my device is fully functional now. :)
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] CrashTestDroid:
Looks like this commit did it.
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] skawtnyc:
All of Wil Wheaton's Tabletop videos on YouTube default to 720p and fail. Switch to 360p and they play fine.

Sorry I keep finding bugs; I don't mean to. They just happen. Probably because I really push the envelope on what my devices can do, and my normal usage exposes them fairly quickly. After this, I promise I will try really hard not to find any bugs. ;)
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] campbellc1052:
Is it possible to get the fingerprint reader working on CWM? I just flashed it and I do not see any option for it. One of the main selling points of this tablet was the fingerprint unlock so if not I guess i'm stuck on TW :/
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] jodvova:
No, it's not possible right now.
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] Kholargol:
Fingerprint doesn't even working (correctly) on stock ! :D
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] UpInTheAir:
Works correctly 9/10 x on my official Samsung ROM. Just got to swipe correctly. .... The 1 x is my own fault for not swiping as per instructions
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] campbellc1052:
Yes it works correctly on stock when you do it correctly lol. The problem is doing it right, I'm either too fast, not on center, or got a sweaty finger.
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] Kholargol:
It's exactly what I'm talking about ! If you must swipe at a certain angle, at a specific speed and only during days of full moon, it does not work properly !! On my laptop, except if my finger is full of peanut butter, I just swipe without thinking and it's work !

Hi guys!

I want to flash this CM port on my Tab S 8.4 (705), but I got some questions:

- Where do I find the CWM for the 705 (as I see that TWRP doesn't work with this port)?

- Which version of the port should I download? 700 or 800? I'd say 700 but I want to be sure..
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] texaspledge:
Can't download the T-800 version. Only allows view access. I'd love to try it out if anyone has a working link.

Forget it. I've caught up now and see why it isn't working now. I'll just patiently wait for a version for 10.5...
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] Turbojugend:
I have the last working version if you wanted it.
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] texaspledge:
That would be awesome. Could you pm me a link?
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] Kwbmm:
Anyone?
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] UpInTheAir:
This is the way I did it. ..

1. Full backup of user apps with Titanium Backup Pro saved to external sdcard (you will need the sdcard kitkat fix from Google Play to write to external sdcard)

2. Installed TWRP recovery

3. Made full backup saved to external sdcard

4. Save CM ROM to external sdcard

5. Full wipe format: system, data, cache

6. Flash CM ROM from external sdcard

I did not restore any apps with Titanium, only flashed for the purpose to test my kernel. :)

WiFi works, but obviously no mobile network connectivity.

Note: restoring your original TW ROM backup via TWRP recovery will have a bug (unable to write to INTERNAL sdcard - fixed by flashing my kernel).

Good luck :)
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] Kwbmm:
So there's no way to restore the original stock rom after flashing this CM? Or can I use odin?
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] UpInTheAir:
Yes, but best to full wipe (different ecosystem) before flashing with Odin.
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] Turbojugend:
Done and done. I hope someone picks up t800 dev for this. Seems to be completely dead.
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] Kholargol:

Gửi từ SM-T705 của tôi bằng cách sử dụng Tapatalk
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] Kwbmm:
I think you should flash the 700 version. But be aware that there's no 3G/4G connectivity
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] eousphoros:
There is very untested art support I inherited from CyanogenMod. There are probably dragons over there.

Sorry about the delay with the YouTube (and twitch) fix. (Browser youtube works but the apps fail.) My guess is due to missing openmax dependencies. Things got unexpectedly put on hold as my baby came to this world early Tuesday and both my wife and I are still in the hospital.
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] Kholargol:
Damn, I don't want to take the risk of facing dragons, just for gaining a few milliseconds ! I'll stay in dalvik, thanks..
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] Klaus20:
Is there any CM rom for T805 ?

Regards Klaus
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] Kwbmm:
I was going through the explanation again on how to do this.. Suppose my tab s breaks and I have to return it for repair, I need to flash the stock tw. Since you said restoring a backup with TWRP of the stock tw won't work, isn't it useless making a backup of it in first place?

If I get it right, from what you said it would be enough to full wipe and flash with odin a stock tw taken from sammobile, right?
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] UpInTheAir:
Look, please don't misquote me. I never said that. I just have my successful method. ...

I have a solution to the bug, take it or leave it.
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] killall:
I've been using this CM11 rom on my T700 as a daily driver for quite a while now. Every now and then I return to stock for a day or so.

I installed CM11 using TWRP, with no problems.

I have backed up both CM and stock using TWRP and routinely restore both with TWRP and so far have had no problems with either.

I would suggest that if you were going to return your tab for repair, you would be better to re-flash stock through Odin, rather than flashing a nandroid backup, just my two cents of course...
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] Kwbmm:
Just out of curiosity, how come if I make a nandroid backup and restore it after flashing CM I can't use stock kernel but have to flash the one provided by you? Shouldn't a nandroid backup make an exact clone of the rom and all its stuff?

Yeah that's what I'm saying, I was misunderstood :laugh:

However I have a T705 and this rom is for T700, that's why I'm trying to be accurate on the procedure so that in case something goes wrong I can flash a stock tw.
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] UpInTheAir:
You don't have to do anything.

Please re-read my posts more carefully, all the answers are there. ...

Again. .....You can restore with TWRP recovery, except there is a KNOWN BUG where you cannot write to INTERNAL sdcard. If you use my kernel, you won't have a problem. You can also use Odin to flash back to complete stock to. The choice is yours.

Anyway, this had been all covered before and this is OT and spamming the thread.
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] Kwbmm:
Finally did the procedure and everything went fine.

Just a note to the other not-so-skilled users like me: this CM version is not rooted so you have to root it yourself if you need.

EDIT: You also need to install gapps. PA-gapps are fine.
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] Pallavgarg10:
Will you be porting it to sm t705?????????????????

[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] UpInTheAir:
Let's take a wild stab in the dark. ...

1. His wife just had a baby.

2. He has suspended development for at least a couple months (apart from a couple bug fixes)

3. He doesn't own a T705 to test and debug
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] Pallavgarg10:
Then Anyone else perhaps
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] Kholargol:
Not beeing able to see HD Youtube videos is annoying. So I would like to downgrade. Do someone got a link to the previous version of the ROM ? Or, better, a fix for the last version...
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] Kwbmm:

Flashing your kernel results in "unfortunately com.androId.phone has stopped" loop.

Edit, disregard. I didn't flash your CM kernel. Trying that now.
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] headlearning:
OK after many days of trial an error here is the best method I have discovered to install this unofficial Cyanogenmod 11 port onto a Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 from stock. I realize a lot of people out there are looking for step by step directions to accomplish this. I'm going to outline a skeleton here and re-do this whole process again right now to make sure I document it even for myself for the future. I'll come back to this post often and flesh out each step in more detail as I do it. Right now I'm trying to remember what I did from memory.

Messing any of these steps up will cost you a day of work to get your device back to where you had it working. Be prepared to soft-brick and read up on how to fix that: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-tab-s/help/to-event-soft-brick-disaster-t2838473/post54618555

Step one is to back everything up and find a stock rom to revert back to, like a blank slate. The stock ROM I've been flashing when I completely fry the whole thing is here: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/firmware-update-samsung-galaxy-tab-s-8-t2823929

After I get everything up and running I like to also make a working backup. The best way to do this is to root the tablet and then install TWRP from the play store. Once you have everything up and running and customized to how you like, reboot into recovery and choose "backup". The only things you have to worry about selecting are "Data", "System" and "Boot". Everything else can remain unchecked. This will take a while and make a backup to data/media/0/TWRP/BACKUPS/**randomnumber**/**date**

This backup along with your stock ROM backup will be your gospel. Download the stock firmware of your choice and have them both handy at all times.

I haven't yet found a way to flash the Cyanogenmod rom file on top of existing ROMs or rooted devices. If you try to root your existing device and simply fhasl the Cyanogenmod rom using recovery, you'll get an error message and it will fail. (Can't install this package on top of incompatible data). So what we'll do is erase everything, flash Cyanogenmod, and then attempt to restore everything back.

Set the device up and go through the motions of logging in to google if you so choose.

Root the device using Odin3-v1.85_3 and the CF root found here: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-tab-s/development/root-cf-autoroot-t700-t2805366

Install a recovery method, I prefer TWRP: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/238

Download the Cyanogenmod zip file from the first post in this thread

Download this custom kernel to make sure USB support works: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-tab-s/orig-development/kernel-skyhigh-kernel-t2870143

Reboot into recovery and flash everything in this order: Cyanogenmod, reboot, gapps, reboot, skyhigh's custom kernel, reboot

Hope this helps others. Also note that people will say they have had success using CWM but there doesn't exist any official support for this tablet yet. The closest you'll get is through the Flashify app in the app store.
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] Kwbmm:
I'd like to add that at least for me flashing UpInTheAir kernel (for mtp support nainly) required a clean flash of the rom, not rooted. Also using the procedure provided by UpInTheAir didn't work for me (removing busybox, installing synapse) as I ended up with a non rooted device and unable to root it again.

EDIT: Moreover offline charging isn't working
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] UpInTheAir:
That procedure was what worked for me using the ROM provided at the time..... There have been other releases since with root removed !

I cannot advise (edit: for sure) on any method using firmware I haven't used.

Edit 2: of you meant removing the ROM busybox, maybe I can remove that from the kernel install instructions. Probably not needed because I've made adjustments to synapse files to use exclusively the kernel busybox provided in /sbin
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] headlearning:
OK I've tried this out as a daily driver and given up on that. It's a fun proof of concept but essentially breaks the device in many ways:

USB doesn't work out of the box

IR blaster doesn't work

Front facing webcam doesn't appear to work

UI elements often crash and cause "Unfortunately xyz has crashed" messages over and over again. The only way out of that is to force reboot the device

Many games and apps such as XBMC are unresponsive to touch inputs

Many other elements don't work or crash the device

I would personally recommend avoiding this rom until another more stable port comes along. Thanks to OP for the work though, it was a fun weekend project but not very functional.

Edit:

YMMV.
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] Kwbmm:
I reflashed your kernel without installing synapse and withouth removing busybox. USB MTP started to work and that was enough for me! :good:

I then installed synapse but honestly I don't really know how to tweak the settings without harming my devices, so I'd say it's optional (suggested but optional :) ).

That is true, out of the box many things don't work. I found many of the bugs on your list as unimportant: the only real issue for me right now is usb MTP. This bug can be solved by using UpInTheAir kernel.

Unfortunately I'm forced to used this ROM as my daily driver because I mainly bought this tablet for taking notes exploiting palm rejection: turns out that all TW roms have a bug that makes touchscreen gestures "crash" as you rest your palm on the screen (and the screen becomes unresponsive).

Now as we wait for further development for this tablet, I'd suggest, if the OP is willing (but more importantly has time), to add to the first post a list of what's working and what's not and maybe a procedure on how to flash correctly so that who comes next will have an overview of the bugs and can easily decide if it's worth flashing.

EDIT: Or even a mod could edit the first post I think
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] killall:
I've been using this for a while now and it is definitely stable enough for a daily driver.

1 USB (I take it you mean MTP) is easily fixed with a custom kernel.

2 Not tried as I don't need it.

3 Working here.

4 Only app I have come across with this problem is xposed installer, easily fixed by HW overlay. de=selection. Games are fine no issues.

5 Have not had any crashes or reboots apart from mentioned above with xposed installer.

The point is just because you have not had a good experience doesn't mean you tell everyone to avoid the rom.

[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] UpInTheAir:
The whole point of the kernel I built is to have kernel features and parameters easily tweakable by user.

Synapse compatability is a HUGE part of that, whereas this CM kernel and any "fixes" it might provide are just a side effect of a favour I'm doing for users. It's a kernel DEVELOPMENT thread, where Synapse implementation will remain part of it.

I have thought about having the kernel auto-install synapse as I have done with other device kernels.
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] killall:
I think it would help some users if you did implement auto-install.

[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] CrashTestDroid:
If ppl can't figure out how/why to install Synapse they should be kept far away from it.
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] Kholargol:
I agree but this kernel is more than a toy for tweakers, it's also a fix for this discontinued ROM!
