[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Android Development] arcadia2uk:
I have been running the 12.2 version for a few days and I was mostly satisfied with the result. However, I noticed one major flaw with the SD card media_rw card fix, where a few of the programs I'm dependent upon does not work, and the software announces no external SD card available, Ankidroid being one of them. On my previous system the external XD card was mounted as rwxrwxrwx, while in the AndroWook version it is mounted as rwxrwx---, other than that it has been working great.

Further, there is still lots of bloatware, I froze some 80 apps just to get rid of the major part, but that could also be my preference, notably as I work with Xposed, and enjoy a minimalist system.

Additionally, I had to switch the camera to Google Camera, as the Samsung one was non-reactive after launch, a problem I also had with my self-modded base-ROM.

I did not look into the SD issue by trying to solve it, but I assume modifying the platform.xml will take care of it.

What-so-ever, all in all it seems to generally work great, and I really appreciate your work.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Android Development] mrwookie6379:
Aha thanks for the feedback I may have forgotten to add the SD Fix into the zip for the 12.2 so I will look in a bit, as at work at the moment, and let you know.

As for the bloatware as i built this ROM blind, I dont have a 12.2, so I wa not sure what was or what was not safe to remove on this. If you couyld provide a list of what you froze that would be most helpful.

Another happy customer. Running smooth and currently installing apps.

Can I make a suggestion for the next version? Can you completely debloat the ROM?

LOL @ Him.......the names Ed by the way.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Android Development] mrwookie6379:
What i'll do is I'll rebuild the ROM with Aroma and that way it will give you the option to install each of the apps on an individual basis. I know the apps that can be removed on a 10.1 but i believe there are more on a 12.2 hence the request.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Android Development] ultim:
Surely debloated rom means removing everything that Samsung added
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Android Development] mrwookie6379:
If you removed everything Samsung added sadly it would not work.

I have removed apps that are forced on the user, but are available in the play store as the thing that frustrates the hell out of me with these apps is that Samsung install them into the system/app folder then almost as soon as you start your new Tab PRO up for the first time there is an update to these apps which then installs itself in to the data/app folder but then just disables the original in system/app folder rather than removing it so therefore it takes up space with an app not even being used.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Android Development] TweakerL:
wOOt wOOt.

Hi there MrWookie. I used your ROMs on the TF-201 for quite some time. Most stable ROM back then, no surprise you were the one to get it working on the SM-T900. Good work sir, and thanks for working on this otherwise rather unloved device :)
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Android Development] haruyukisama:
Will this Rom work with the 8.4?
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Android Development] mrwookie6379:
I wondered when someone from the TF-201 days would show up.....:D Nice to have you here.

No it won't work on the 8.4 but if there is a demand for an 8.4 version I'll happily put one together. Let me know if you want one.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Android Development] ECrispy:
Debloating can be tricky because there are a lot of services/apps, and many dependencies. So you have to freeze/stop an app, and then you can't be sure things are ok unless you test a lot of other apps. IMO once you have rooted, users can easily delete apps/services they don't need and post here if everything works out, that way the dev and other users will have a good idea what's safe to remove.

I'm a little more concerned with the camera not working as someone reported. I will be testing this rom when my tablet comes, thanks for all your hard work !!
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Android Development] arcadia2uk:
Well, my stock camera was already broke before I tested the ROM. I don't know if the problem is my de-bloating, or the ROM. But, it's most likely my own issue. However, I run perfectly fine with the Google Camera.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Android Development] nickster1:
I just tested my camera and it's working just fine on the T900.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Android Development] ianrobbie:
Camera working fine here, too.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Android Development] haruyukisama:
Please do, i would love this Rom for my 8.4 if that's not too much trouble for you
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Android Development] mrwookie6379:
Shouldn't cause me too much trouble so I'll set a stock image downloading from Samsung now.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Android Development] Rootuser3.0:
There's an app that if you freeze it causes the screen not to rotate properly couldn't figure what app it was because I froze so many but when I unfroze them it rotated correctly

Finally a rom for the 12.2 and Andro YES! I used Andro versions on the Tf201, 700, and Note 2 I think.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Android Development] mrwookie6379:
Yes for TF201 and TF700 but I've never built for a Note 2 before. :D

Is it possible to make a version for the 10.1 LTE as there are only two custom ROMs for it (CyanogenMod, proplus (broken))

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Android Development] arcadia2uk:
12.2 version

I finally got my camera back and it was not due to the ROM, more likely it was a dirty trial to improve it. However, I now have it working in stock as well as in AndroWook (AW).

On the other hand I still have an issue with saving, both to internal as well as to the external SD. I have verified the settings and they are the same for both stock and AW, go figure... Anyway, this might be my problem as well, but going back and forth between the ROM's is a struggle in itself, since a restore takes at least 30- 40 min... compared with my HTC One m8, it's like 5x...

edit/I found a temporary solution, described in post 100/edit

On the other hand, I have de-bloated my stock-ROM to the maximum, maybe even too much... overall I took out roughly 125 files... knox, wallpapers, cloud back-up, wi-fi direct, mobile-print, remote devices, and of course the s-apps, and I could most likely find 10- 15 more... The difference is that with the de-bloating applied, I'm running smooth and fast, except for the back-up/restore's. This is a huge opportunity, even though I run about 150 apps of my own, de-bloating makes a substantial time saving. 150 apps? Ah, that's where my pocket money goes... Unfortunately, the month of August budget for beer sponsoring has run out:).

No you havent missed the Aroma version yet im just in the middle of trying to land a new job so all my spare time has been taken up researching and preparing for the final interview on Friday.

Hopefully come Friday evening things should be back on track and I can then hopefully get something out shortly after.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Android Development] TweakerL:
Good luck on the job interview, though I doubt you'll need luck.

Btw, there's a new base available for the SM-T900 (T900OXAANF1). I'm uploading to my cloud now, will post the link if you'd like mrwookie.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Android Development] mrwookie6379:
Thanks for the vote of confidence. :D

Is the new base US? Doesn't matter if is/isn't im just curious that's all (and can't be bothered to Google).
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Android Development] arcadia2uk:
I used an app called CCSWE App Manager to freeze them, but you can also use the freeze option in Titanium and I'm sure there are more options.

I would love to share the list of removed apps. However, can anyone come up with a clever idea of how I can export a list of frozen system apps? As I mentioned I froze about 125 apps, which is a list too long to write down...

[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Android Development] TweakerL:
It appears to be the UK version. Which is interesting considering I'm in the US. Though I think I remember flashing a tar on it at some point that may have been the UK version. Anyway. I might try to look around for a US tar, even if it's the older version, then I can just pull the current US one during Kies update.

Here's the link.

[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Android Development] mrwookie6379:
Ok interesting.......

Ive just looked and the version I used for the T900 version is PDA T900XXUANF1 with CSC T900OXAANF1 so possibly the same as what I have already used.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Android Development] JCA666:
What about t520 australian firmware T520XXUANG1? , it is the latest?
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Android Development] arcadia2uk:
K, here we go. These are the screenshots of the roughly 120 files I froze in order to de-bloat the ROM. Altogether, there are about 8- 9 screenshots, note that final two are overlapping, dropbox folder

P.S. Only the colored files are System Files, the whites are Play Store apps.

Good luck,

I'm sorry, I forgot to mention that these freezings are from my base ROM, T900UEUAND4, and not mrwookies version, as I could not get AndroWook to write on my external SD. However, I have since then found a solution, see post 100 below.

External SD Card

Hello,

Just installed the ROM, also reformatted my SD card, but I am unable to write to it. I tried writing to the card via PC connection over USB, also from the JW Library app which can download videos to it. Both give an error as if the card is still write protected. Is there anything you can suggest I try to get it working? Thanks

[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Android Development] TweakerL:
Just an update.

Yes, seems like you're using the same base as the latest update that I pulled. However, something seems to be wrong with mine as I'm getting random reboots since the update (I'm running on stock rooted at the moment until AW update). I'll proceed to flash the full tar > root > install recovery.

Once again, good luck tomorrow.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Android Development] rdcrds:
Be VERY careful doing this. I froze the ones in his screen shots and my tablet would not boot back up. I finally got it into recovery and re falshed beware
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Android Development] arcadia2uk:
Issues and Solutions

I'm sorry about your troubles following my directions, but it is what worked for me.

However, as I mentioned this was done from the Stock ROM, T900UEUAND4 and not from AndroWook. The settings might be somewhat different. I can't tell, but what I have seen from other ROM's, not SM-T900, is that the "Themes" and "Themes Provider" have caused me re-boots. But, as what was said, be careful about taking out too much. Start with what your sure of, like a series of programs containing the word knox, reboot and try and so on, but be sure of having a back-up for each step. This is a trial and error solution.

Anyway what worked for me might not work for you as it depends on what other apps you have installed that can cover up for the ones you freeze. Obviously, you don't freeze the launcher unless you have another launcher installed, else-wise you will definitely have boot-loops.

---------- Post added at 04:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:30 AM ----------

As I earlier mentioned I had issues with my system recognizing the external-SD, something that is crucial for me. But, I finally got it up and running! In order to get this to work I had to reformat my internal-SD and then restore my software w/o pushing them to the external-SD (Apps2SD), reformat cache and dalvik-cache, run the updated "SuperSU 2.02" as root was lost, and use "SD KitKat Fixer" to correct the r/w issue. Not only I got AndroWook up and running, I also got the ProPlus v1 to work. However, as I mentioned in an earlier post: the base for AndroWook is the british version T900XXUANF1, while the latest US release is T900UEUAND4. On the other hand, I have no idea how this might influence things, if at all...

The problem is that I use applications heavily relying on the presence of an external SD-card, (video classes and lectures) that are sizable, > 1Gb ea, that also eat too much space on the internal card for those that can be installed there. To give you an idea my backup file is 6.1 Gb. This mean I need to push them by an apps2sd application, the apps2sd links are not compatible in between ROM's which create additional space issues. But, at least for now, I have everything up and running, over three different ROM's; Stock, AndroWook and ProPlus. I will now start pushing through apps2sd, and will most likely break something, or at a minimum multiply the disk space used. I will probably wait for AndroWook's new version before adventuring myself into a struggle of this kind again...

update: new issues discovered, see the following post.

Best of luck,
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Android Development] arcadia2uk:
When I thought all of my issues with the AndroWook ROM was resolved, I just ran into another issue... The Exposed Framework won't load claiming "Could not extract Xposed-Disabler-Recovery.zip". I have, for the moment no idea how to resolve this one....

Actually, the problem is not there, instead it's a question that I have not the correct reading/writing rights to the internal SD, I'm still looking into the issue.

When uninstalling an app and trying to re-install it I get a message saying "Unknown error code during application install: "-110""

This is the same type of messages I kept receiving after having installed the now retracted GigaWatts 12.2 version.

I'm more and more inclined to believe all these random issues had to do with using the british core T900XXUANF1, rather than the latest US core T900UEUAND4.

Another funny this is that the F1 core has a footprint, with all my private apps installed, of 5.3Gb, while my stock core, comparative, has a footprint of 6.1Gb. If I understood things correctly, the 12.2 ROM is supposed to be un-bloated at this point of time.

My take is: go back to the latest US core xxxD4, to replace the xxxF1 version as this seems to be a home-cooked hybrid, e.g. when you start the ROM from scratch the default on the first screen is proposing; English (UK) as base language.

Also, see my post of bloat-ware in post #93, pg 10.

For now I will hold off my testing until the new release is available.

See my updated post#107 - apparently these were issues linked to my own device - After reset/update everything works.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Android Development] mrwookie6379:
Could the issues that you are experiencing being due to the apps you have disabled?

Are you able to replicate the fault with a straight flash of AndroWook without disabling anything?

Finally no this is not a home baked version as you suggested but rather the official UK release as that is where I am from.

Also please bear in mind I am doing these T900 builds blind as I do not have one only a T520.

Could I finally ask anyone that is reporting bugs please ensure the bug is able to be replicated on the last version I have released without anything additional being disabled or tinkered with otherwise I can't be sure that it is a bug with what I have released and not something you have changed.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Android Development] nickster1:

Thanks for the update. I have no used the tablet much but from what i see so far here in the U.S no problems. It would be nice to get rid of some of the bloat but after the one issue with TB freeze of apps i am not getting rid of any.

[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Android Development] arcadia2uk:
I appreciate all you work, mrwookie. The issues must have been on my side, and the ROM is very sensitive. When I started from scratch again, I finally have everything working. I also used all de-bloats I suggested earlier and everything seems to work, finally. I've seen an FC, or two during the evening, but I have pushed the functionalities to a max, so I wasn't surprised.

You can actually get rid of every one of the Samsung bloats, but there is some cautions to take. Make sure that all options are turned off in the system settings, such as screen mirroring, cloud etc. and don't try to use these options later on, also make sure that you have alternative apps installed e.g. Google Camera, Keyboard, Text-to-speech... I still haven't deleted all the apps, but just frozen the, but that will be my next step, once I'm certain that nothing will go wrong. At least I have a backup of a de-bloated version to go back to.

update - I went a step further and deleted all frozen system apps, which scaled off approx 1Gb of my backup size, and still no issues what-so-ever.

And back to the drawing-board, I keep loosing the external SD-card rights, probably by going back and forth between different ROM's, it has been reported in other forums. The only way to get the rights back is by wiping the internal SD, and re-install it from the external card. No change if I use the full ROM, or a de-bloated version.

Instead I started to test-run the cm11 port by Shaheer, but no real advancements up to now as the boot.img need to be modified to recognize both SD-cards, but if there is a will... maybe we'll get there.
