Q&A ​

Installation:

You can run this rom on JB bootloader but you will have to install a older kernel from this thread to have full wifi working. but I will not support it

First time you install KitKat rom follow the instructions. After that there is no way back to JellyBean

BOOTLOADER

and your warranty is void as the KNOX is tripped in bootloader. You can still install JellyBean Rom compaired with JB kernel on the new bootloader

Download the rom from this thread for your device

and place it on your Note8.0

Install the latest PhilzTouch recovery for your device (I'm running philz_touch_6.41.6-n5110).

Full WIPE if you install this rom for the first time.

Install the rom

and reboot

Aircommand

Bugs with Aircommand:

Chrome won't work = you need to install Chrome beta

Activating reader mode will cause a reboot when opening a app that supports reader mod

Aircommand terminal command and tips:

Remember when installing the Aircommand that you will disable some features of your note.

Like some quick command options and Spen gestures.

Why this option:

That is the reason why I build in a command that makes it possible to disable Aircommand or enable it, this way you don't need to reinstall the rom to get rid of Aircommand, with this command you only need to reboot your tablet to enable/disable it.

When you disable the Aircommand all normal features of the Note8.0 will work for 95% again. Best is to reinstall the rom.

Open terminal emulator

su (enter) airoff (enter)

su (enter) airon (enter)

Tip to pop up the Aircommand :

Go to Xblasted modules - Statusbar - Gestures and select a gesture to pop-up the Aircommand trigger app.

I did long press in statusbar. Now you can open the Aircommand in any app by long presing the statusbar area

If you are looking for the Spen window manager

only

(no aircommand) support I suggest you install this app (best but you need to pay for it) or this , it can only makes pen window short cuts. where the paid app allows much more options .

With one of these apps you don't need Aircommand to have the pen windows.​

Stock battery or change battery icon

Use the 3minit battery app to select your favorite battery icon, the stock kk icon can be found in one of the online download sections of the app.
​

Kernel Q&A

Note on CIFS:

Example on what you enter, but your IP and share, if that wasn't clear. The option section is very important

Note on NTFS

You need to use Paragon!

You need to set your mount point yourself.

Example and recommended is:

/mnt/extSdCard/paragon

Miracast/Allshare support

If it doesn't work install Triangle away from the playstore and reset your counter and select the reset at reboot.

The custom kernel support it, I tested it and I have no problems.

Black screen with miracast= ask your miracast device (TV or player) manufactor to solve it, this is not a kernel rom problem.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] cheryanne:
I don't want to hound you but I just wanted to ask if you'll be adapting the kernel for the 5120. I just don't want to get my hopes up :o

Galaxy Note 8.0 Xposed Build N5120XXDNE4 Kernel SphereKat-Rev5.4 on Telstra LTE
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] k9time:
Don't blame you. It's running like butter on my 5110. But then again so have all Civato's roms.. I really hope all of you get a chance to run it..
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] civato:
Yes the 5100 and 5120 will get support but as I'm building the kernel for every device separate from the official source for your device I have to do it 3 times. 5110/5100/5120.

The older kernel was all based on one source but as I want it to be bug free and smooth I want to make a clean start for every device.

Patience as I don't have much time.

Smoothness and stability is the reason why not every special feature is in the new kernel. I tested it a long time and it is compiled now in release mode. Meaning all debugging stuff is removed so the footprint is as small as possible.

I hope this answers your questions and that you are not forgotten.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] ramjet73:
Chromecast casting!

I can confirm that Chromecast casting works with the 3.0 ROM and the Mirror Enabler app. :good:

Miracast connects to my dongle, which it didn't before, but the image doesn't appear on the remote screen. I believe that's the fault of the cheap dongle I bought but it would be great if someone with a reliable Miracast device can confirm that.

I've flashed many times since I last ran Triangle Away but didn't have to run it to get Chromecast casting working with this ROM.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] faceN:
Coming from Flexnote kk Rev.2.1 do I need to wipe for the new version?

Btw, thanks for your great work. I just discovered and flashed Flexnote kk last week and it is working very well ��

Edit: I am aware of your instructions to wipe if installing the ROM for the first time but I was wondering whether Rev 2.1 is considered the same ROM and is therefore updateable to the new version or not. Tx

Edit 2: OK, I might not be the smartest peg, but I think I finally got it: by wiping and flashing the Rev 3 we are also flashing the recommended KK bootloader which is needed to run the new kernel included in the ROM. I was wrong! We need to flash the kitkat bootloader separately through Odin. Find instructions and links to the bootloader files here and here

I did it per instructions in Q&A post and all I can say is - WOW! The wipe was totally worth it. Haven't tried all the features as I don't need them (Miracast/Allshare cast/Google chromecast, Air Commands) but all the basic stuff, S pen included, works, flies! The UI and scrolling are very fast and much smoother then in Rev 2.1 which I thought was great as it was. Embedded YouTube also works now. Your beer is on its way!
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] civato:
It is possible bu don't complain if wifi or some other stuff don't work. And for this rom/kernel you need to be on KK bootloader.

See if it is the same with stock kernel, my guess is it will.

Thanks civato. I'm sure this is another excellent build. Will be flashing it soon. :highfive::D
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] ramjet73:
In previous testing with the stock ROM it would connect and then drop the connection almost immediately, which is why I think the problem is with the dongle. With this ROM it connects and stays connected but no image appears on the screen.

I'm planning to pick up this dongle once it is released. That manufacturer has support forums and frequent firmware updates so I'm hoping to have better luck with that.

I am one of the many that enjoyed the plethora of battery icons to choose from in your last build so I think I'm going to stick with the last update. I followed the link in the OP and the instructions on how to obtain what i had before was a little over my head. We all appreciate your time and effort that was put into this awsome rom and kernel. Thank you again.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] gcgspain:
When plugging on the charger the Samsung song starts playing on a never ending loop, I can't stop it, only rebooting fixes it.

This had already happened to me on some other civato's previous ROM release and it got fixed when updating.

Can anyone please tell me if there is way to stop the music without re starting? Or at least where is the sound file so that I can delete it?

Just installed this rom without the kernel, after a full wipe. Everything is fine. Except I ca't shutdown.

Every time I shut down it reboots instead.

Has this happened to anyone else?

edit: forgot to mention this only happens when i have plugged it into ac power to charge.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] memooffon:
This ROM included new kernel.

You need to update bootloader to KitKat bootloader with ODIN.

REV1.1 update

Update rom and kernel.

Also the bootloader and modem packages for the 5100 & 5120 are updated.

FULL wipe is needed before installing this rom the first time.

For the 5110 users that are on Rev1.0 a full wipe is not needed.

If you go to the CivZ Mall (OP) to download for your device and the rom is not yet available that means it is uploading.

Try again in a hour.

Hey, can someone give me clear instructions on how to flash this rom? I have a n5100 & have flashed the rom then it reboot the device & it bring me to recovery again. Am i missing something here?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] sisterchick:
What recovery do you have installed? PhilZ is recommended. Go here for latest: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2552657

Which bootloader? You must be on KitKat. Go here for help with that: http://xdaforums.com/gala...ernel-t2890334

Assuming you have the right bootloader and recovery for a n5100. You should be able to "prepare for a new rom" in recovery to wipe everything and install with Aroma, just answering the questions as you go.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] TarKin:
Asking me the same. I also have a n5100 and i´m coming from Flexnote 2.1.

Do i also (if so: in which order) have to flash kernel/modem/bootloader?

Would be nice if someone could give me a helping hand on this one.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] Mr.201:

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] Mr.201:
I am, i just click prepare for new rom and just flash the rom . But it still boot to recovery no matter what.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] uapyro:
I'm about to do the bootloader update for mine.

I'm still having battery issues, and one other issue is the Note8 "overheating".

It'll popup that warning, but I've felt all over it and it's not the least bit even warm to the touch when it displays the warning. I'll try to post another reply once I try the latest version with the bootloader updated to KK.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] Megamind08:
Any one having success with n5100?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] pik1:
nope, same issue here. N5100 rom not working... (kk bootloader check, philz touch check, prepare for new rom check, still only booting into recovery)

when installing a previous rom (flexnote 1.8) no issues.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] civato:
Fix for boot problems on 5100 & 5120

People having boot problems on the 5100 and 5120 please install the B version of the KK-Runner-Rev1.1 kernel.

See the "CivZ Mall" for your device and install this kernel right after you installed the rom.

As no one is giving a proper log it is just guess work for me so I hope this will work.

I only have the 5110 so I can't test for the other devices.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] Mr.201:
Done that and it doesnt boot to recovery but it just show black screen after galaxy note 8.0 logo .

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] TarKin:
Same Problem here (also with logcat)
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] prscott1:
I am on a 5110 and having it reboot directly to recovery also.

Edit: I wiped for new ROM, Did installation again (noticed this time that after Creating symlinks it gave error set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed), press next then finish for a reboot. And it comes back to recovery. I tried several times and did all the suggestions here but nothing seems to work. Also, can't flash back to my stock rooted rom. Get some strange errors.

In recovery, when I click Show Log, It shows a lot of the properties setup from the build.prop file and then at the bottom it shows: Skipping execution of extendedcommand, file not found

and Skipping execution of OpenRecoveryScript file not found.

Last edit: looks like I need to upgrade my PhilZ to 6.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] detted:
On my N5110, I installed over the 1.0 directly without additional actions that was installed over Flexnote 2.1 with a full wipe. They didn't encounter any issue with installations. One minor issue for me is with Chrome. Sometime, when going back to the background Chrome, it displays a blank screen since 2.1. Clicking the setting and out, the display back to normal. Not a big deal.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] Megamind08:
I installed 1.1 over 2.1 and then installed 1.1B kernel. Getting blank screen after n5100 logo. I did a full wipe.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] memooffon:

Back from Flexburst to Flexnote then inatalled 1.1b kernrl it's work fine.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] lautunno:
Confirmed on 5120 too:

1.1B Kernel on Flexnote --> working

5100 & 5120 users

No official support and no more releases

for the 5100 & 5120 as the kernel source for H3 isn't released by samsung and it seems a lot of users experience boot problems with the custom kernel cuased by "Verify_Binary_Signature: failed". I need the H3 source to make it work.

If you really want to run this rom on the 5100 or 5120 I suggest you download the stock H3 kernel and install that. Re-Root with philz recovery to gain root.

Second option is to stick to the FlexNote KitKat rom for the 5100 & 5120
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] ramjet73:
Is the stock H3 kernel likely to vary by region (CSC)?

I can download and extract one stock H3 image for each model (5100 and 5120) and setup the zip files to flash the boot.img as long as it doesn't have to be done for each region. I have a 5110 but am willing to do that if it helps the 5100 and 5120 users.

Would that mean there would be just one FlexBurst ROM zip file and that 5100 and 5120 users would flash the stock kernel over the default kernel in that ROM and root it? In other words, aren't there things in the ROM like settings options and dialer apps that are unique to each model?

ramjet73
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] TarKin:
Thanks for the headsup.

Now - do i have to flash the stock rom to get the kernel? or can anyone help me out with a link to it to flash it with philz?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] ramjet73:
You need to download a ROM image file for your device that ends in "H3" and then extract the boot.img from that file. Once you have the boot.img it can be placed in a zip file to flash it from recovery, or you can flash it using Odin or Heimdall immediately after flashing the ROM.

ramjet73
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] lautunno:
Thank you, appreciated.

If I'm not wrong, the CSC is in the modem file.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] prscott1:
Hi, could anyone tell me if this KK kernel has dock support? I ask because my dock is only charging now - and not recognizing the USB ports or HDMI port.

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] civato:
No every user needs to download according his/her device. Never install a 5120 rom/kernel on a 5100 or 5110. And never install a 5100 or 5110 rom/kernel on a 5120 = this will hardbrick the device.

The partitions are totally different.

I got every official rom update files for every device so that is no problem. The stock kernel for the 5100 and 5120 can be found in the link in the OP (link of the rom 5110)

The problem is sasmung changed something in the H3 update for the 5100 and 5120 roms and I don't have the source for that.

On earlier rom versions like E4 for the 5120 there is no problem.

The 5110 is still on the F1 version and I believe it will stay there.

I could make a 5100 and 5120 version based on the older updates of samsung but it is pointless, Users can then use the flexnote roms and flash the KK Runner kernel on that rom.

You find the stock H3 kernels here.

Look in your device section, 5100 or 5120.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] TarKin:

rom on 5120

Thanks Civato,

I had already downloaded an H3 rom from Sammobile and taken the boot.img from there. I put it in a Kernel zip (your Sphere release!) and flashed it after FlexBurst. I then re-rooted using Philz recovery.

It works. But if you try to flash the Air tool it hangs up, so I suggest to avoid it.

I'm going to offer you a beer, thanks for your efforts.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] uapyro:
Flashed it, and this device is amazing now! I no longer get the huge battery drops starting at 30%, which I usually had about 15 to 25 minutes of battery life left at that point, max. And I'm no longer getting the device is overheating messages. It's felt warm once when I was doing a lot, but I didn't get a popup about it. Now at 30% battery to 10%, I got a little over an hours constant use, and was too tired to make it all the way down.

Hi,

I have N5100 and still on JB. Previously I flashed Civato's kernel for JB (CivZ SphereXtreme Rev3.2) and I managed to swap the internal storage with SD Card using script execution through ROM Toolbox. This is impossible if I used the stock kernel.

Because from what I heard that SD card access is a little bit restricted for Samsung devices with KitKat, I haven't upgraded my N5100 to KitKat. Can I do the same swap SDcard method if I flashed Civato's KitKat kernel ? Anyone tried this ?

Thanks.

EDIT:

I'm actually a little bit surprised that not so many users talk about swapping the SDCard. I'm struggling with 16GB of storage, especially with all the e-books, magazines, and games' data
