[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ameva:
How's the battery usage compared to stock Kitkat?

I think I FINALLY understand what all these confusing terms like rom, recovery, stock rom, firmware, etc mean after I watched some videos of people demonstrating how to install custom recovery on their tab 3 thru odin (after putting the desired custom ROM on the ext sd card), then going to unzip to find it and flash it. If I'm missing some part of this, please correct me.

I realize now why the first time I tried to root my device, it rebooted but with a very dim screen and flickering colors. I was able to go into the Android recovery, but I couldn't find any desired custom rom because I didn't even put one in the sd card in the first place, nor did I install a custom recovery first. In my haste to get all the awesome features, I rushed into things instead of stopping and reading like EVERY mentioned link and caution and forum about this or that.

So, recently the developers of the custom recovery have updated their stuff so that it fixes the bootloader issue that happens if you have kitkat. This means that people should no longer have the whole getting stuck in custom recovery like before, correct? (Please verify)

Now my only question is, for those who have successfully installed NoleKat custom rom, is there any issues with battery usage? Since I upgraded to KK, I've noticed that my device chugs down battery WAY faster than JB, and it takes WAY longer to charge by even 1% (it literally takes half a day to charge by half, no joke).

Any feedback on this is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ameva:
Hi, I just installed NoleKat v2.0, and I did a dirty flash instead of a clean wipe because I wanted to use Titaniu Backup to backup my apps and data. I noticed upon the first reboot that things seem to be slower (like settings for example, and it took a lot longer to calculate how much space each storage takes). Is this because of the dirty flash?

Edit: Ok, here is my plan. I am currently backing up my apps through titanium onto my ext sdcard. Since I did not do a full wipe of the system (and I suspect that's what's causing some of the slowness), I am going to reboot to recovery (philz), then do a full wipe, and then flash/install NoleKat again.

Now, I know there are options under the wipe. Does anyone know which should be checked? I read in the thread that somebody wiped system and there was a mount system error. Should I leave that alone then?

Hey dude

Clean install!!!!

Backup YOUR DOWNLOADED APPS + anything highlighted in green to extSD then boot into recovery, unmount SD and remove it from device. Wipe EVERYTHING including delvic cache

Remount extSD and flash v2.0 m

Boot up, download titanium backup and restore your shot, done and device is better than new

support for my device p5110?

Thank you gr8nole for this fantastic ROM! its ideal for my little toddlers, especially the kids mode plug in.

I would like to ask if the kids mode plugin will work on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1? I currently have slimkat 4.4.4 installed on it, I tried your 'Kids Mode Add-On' on this ROM (slimkat 4.4.4) but unfortunately did not work (altho seemed to have installed fine). Does Kids Mode Add-On require a specific ROM for it to work? Would any of these ROMS on my 10.1 tab work with your Kids Mode Add-On http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-tab-2/10-inch-development ?

Any chance you can port the NoleKat rom to P5110?

Kids mode addon

I use the kids addon since I actually have the T2105 for my son but was sick of being told its out of storage space so ended up rooting it and putting this rom on instead. Which runs much smoother than stock kids edition.

Anyway, to get to the point, Kids mode limits you to only being able to have 30 apps accessible at a time. Which is very annoying when I have put more than 30 apps/games on it that my son will use.

Is there a way to remove or increase this limit and if not, is there any chance the developer would be willing to release a mod or an update that removes the limit?

Not exactly sure what you are asking here, but the rom does have the Contacts app and the notification bar is transparent, so you will see the background of whatever app you are using. I like it that way, so it will stay like that.

I mean if it's useful the pro version of busy box is on sale I guess ill download it...

[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gr8nole:
First, you will need this Kids Mode Installer app attached below. Put it in /system/app and reboot. That will give you a widget in the app drawer. When you click on the widget, it will prompt you to install the rest of the software, BUT, first it reads the build.prop to determine what device you have. Before clicking, you must edit the build.prop device info to reflect the info for a device that is the same size/dpi AND is allowed to install Kids Mode apps (S5, Tab4, etc...). To get an idea of the lib files that need to be installed, take a look at my addon zip.

I have no idea if this process will work for the 10in version.

My Unlock Effect Switcher app creates/edits an init.d script that runs on startup and sets the sqlite database entry to the previously selected value so that desired unlock effect sticks on reboot. So, init.d support and the sqlite binary is a must.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gr8nole:
I see that it is a little big. To fix that, the actual icon would need to found and replaced. It is probably in framework-res.apk.
