[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] Gatsrom:
Original Stock and Debloated Stock Variants for the Samsung Note 12.2 Pro Wi-Fi Version

​

These roms are simple flashable zips that you can flash from your custom boot manager. It does not use an aroma installer. Instead I made two versions. This should avoid almost all the problems people were having because there are not modifying options in the installer before running it. It is based on the latest software out officially for this model: P900UEU1BNK1

YOU NEED TO HAVE A CUSTOM BOOT LOADER.

i.e. you will need to have tripped your knox counter. There is no way for the P900 currently to have a custom bootloader and not trip knox to 0x01. Some of the non-wifi variants using the snapdragon setup can do this with TowerlRoot. We cannot :(

Custom Bootloader:

I use TWRP version 2.8.0 - INSTALL WITH ODIN NOT THE MANAGER.

It can be found here: Download TWRP

Once you have installed the custom bootloader you can now load roms and make and restore backups for your device. The first thing you should do at this point is boot into TWRP and immediately MAKE A FULL SYSTEM BACKUP. First, before anything else. Do this to be safe.

Next you need to choose which version you of the rom you want to flash. Both of these were built mostly from ArchiKitchen and then I did some modifying after but I need to thank JustArchi for making this easier to put together for you guys, take a look at it here. Most will probably go for the debloated version, but some people like an untouched setup.

Steps to Install:

1. Copy this version onto your device, I use my SDcard.

2. In TWRP, go to wipe, advanced wipe and check Cache, Dalvik, Data and then wipe. This seems like it takes a good 5 minutes so don’t think it’s locked up. Let it do it’s thing.

3. Go to Install, select the flashable zip. Flash.

4. You can reboot the system at this point.

5. Startup should bring you to the 4 dots google splash screen. First load takes a few minutes let it do its thing.

6. Setup your device, done. Enjoy.

APKS Users May Want Back Individually

Samsung App Store thing: Samsung Store Apk

If you use the air command function with the S-pen and want back sfinder or the clipboard function.

Use Root Explorer or a similar app and browse to /system/priv-app/ rename both Sfinder.apk.bak and Pinboard.apk.bak to Sfinder.apk and Pinboard.apk (remove the .bak extensions). Reboot your tablet.

Disclaimer:

Your warranty is most likely already void if you have completed the steps to actually flash this ROM, I am not responsible for anything you do with your own device, if you can't follow directions or read that is not my problem. Follow Directions as they are listed and you should be fine.

Knowing all this you do this AT YOUR OWN RISK!

Things that will make your tablet even better:

The Xposed Framework

The Xposed Framework is a custom framework using a hook that works on top of stock android systems that have root access. It is made by Rovo89 and the general thread can be read about here: Click Me!.

The Xposed Framework uses components called modules, which can be loaded on the device in various combinations to achieve many of the functions that used to only be provided by fully customized roms. I use several on my device and will list each below.

Recommended Xposed Framework Modules:

Activity Force New Task

App Settings

Boot Manager

Burnt Toast

Cool Tool

CrappaLinks

Disable Clear Dialogues Default

Disable Batter Full Alert

DitheredHoloBackground

KitKat SD Card Full Access

Remove USB Storage Warning

Samsung Keyboard Short Delay
