Welcome to NoleKat for T211!

This rom is based on the T211 Italian KitKat firmware with stock kernel. It is Touchwiz based and somewhat debloated.

I do not have a T211 to test on, so make sure you have a backup before flashing. This is my first endeavour into a GSM rom, so you may have to fix your own connectivity issues since I don't have this device.

FEATURES

Based on T211 Italy firmware (NI1)

Deodexed

init.d

sqlite

Rooted

Busybox

App Ops enabled

4-Way Reboot

Most all apps that are available in the Play Store have been removed

Added secondary symbols to keyboard (see screenshot)

External sdcard fix for KitKat

Newer (T310) launcher and Weather Widget

Custom Boot Animation support

Removed annoying Safe Volume and Airplane Mode popups

INSTALLATION

Ensure you have updated to the KitKat firmware.

Download full rom zip and the v1.1 update zip from the link below.

Boot into your custom recovery (recommend Philz Touch)

Perform a factory reset / full wipe (rom install does not wipe data)

Flash full rom zip; then the update.

Reboot and enjoy

Report back any bugs you find

I recommend a full wipe, but you can always try a dirty flash. :cowboy:

NOTE ABOUT INTERNAL SDCARDS

Our 4.1.2 version roms use the /data/media directory as the "internal sdcard".

4.2+ versions of Android use the /data/media/0 directory due to support for multiple users.

If you switch to a different Android version, you need to be aware of this difference.

I recommend wiping "internal sdcard" also before switching from 4.1.2 to 4.4.2.

From a T-210 owner.

Even if i haven't got the T-211 model thank you for your efforts to give us the most stable roms & mods.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] pengpengback:
Thank you very much.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] andynroid:
Am on Malaysia based so far no issues so far, initially I had added entropy..it lagged playing Angry Birds Transformers But once I had removed it is running fine.

Some of kind of tweak you got there, care to share it's content :D

Connectivity...no problems so far...Well done :)
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] gr8nole:
I haven't added any performance tweaks. I've seen so many varying opinions on the entropy tweaks that I never bother with it.

Sent from my SM-N900V
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] andynroid:
Keep up the good work. On the very 1st day I got this Tab...was a bit frustrated but later when Kernels and good ROMs was released gave the Tab3 a new life.

FYI I am on WereWolf Kernel and so it's OC.....:banghead:

BTW good LMK embedded in the ROM :cool:

AM STICKING TO THIS ROM....HIGHLY RECOMMENDED YOU CAN NOW PLAY HUNGRY SHARK..ANGRY BIRDS TRANSFORMERS NO LAGS :eek:
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] plauto:
[MENTION=3034891]gr8nole[/MENTION], thanks for this ROM.

I've installed it on my T211 (italian).

So far it works well with werewolf kernel v6.

If possible, could you prepare two separate zip (one with original kernel, and the other with MODEM: T211XXBNI1 ) ?
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] gr8nole:
This rom has the original kernel. I only modified the ramdisk to allow insecure adb (helps during troubleshooting).

As for the modem, there are so many different regions that may have a slightly different modem that I can't provide one that will 100% work for everyone. This rom does not touch the modem that you currently have installed. I can provide the one from the Italian firmware, but you probably will want to keep using the one for your region.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] plauto:
Please if you can provide the one from the Italian firmware, it is ok-
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] gr8nole:
I can get it to you later today after work.

weather widget not working

weather widget not working on tab 3 7.0 sm-t211 after installing nolekat V1.0 & v1.1 update hlp
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] droiduzr2:
some help please

everything is working except I keep getting the error unfortunatly settings has stopped responding.

I wiped both caches still the same problem

I can only clear the cache for settings

any ideas?

thx
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] andynroid:
When does this occur ?
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] gr8nole:
I need you both to attach a logcat and I'll take a look.

Did either of you freeze or remove any apps at all?
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] droiduzr2:
thx Nole but I just reset the tablet and trying another rom out

I really don't have the time to spend sorting it out

I think it's an app I installed

It's hard to figure out which unless I installed 1 app at a time and check.

Your Rom worked great out of the box.

thx

btw- why not just make 1 new ROM instead of v1 and 2 update . Make it a 1 step install???
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] gr8nole:
Because it is much less data to download/upload if it is just a small update. Not everyone has fast internet.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] jloved:
This may be a dumb question, but can I flash this to a sprint tab 3? I have no need for the mobile connection only wifi.

How to install v1.1 separately

Dear gr8nole,

Thanks for this custom ROM - it was created a long time ago, but I just updated my ROM yesterday and this is the first time I am rooting any phone or tablet - so you can understand my situation. :o

I installed it in Indian retail version of SM -T211 and it is running fantastically without any issue so far. I have just one question, while installing I chose "Update custom ROM from zip" and my installed version is nolekatV1 now. Can you please tell me how to upgrade it to V1.1 now.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] gr8nole:
just download the v1.1 update zip and flash it in recovery. No need to wipe anything. (I think I forgot to update the build.prop, so it will probably still show v1.0 for the version).
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] antonini44354:
Hello gr8nole and XDA community. I am enjoying your ROM too much. I am Very Grateful for Your Work. Thanks for removing the annoying popups when enabling and disabling "Airplane mode"...

But there is something I detest. I am referring to the loathsome lowest screen-brightness when the battery is under 6%. It's hateful when the battery is low, I cannot adjust the brightness anymore (at least I connect the device), it means, sometimes I cannot use the device when I am in an illuminated place.You know it is annoying, so, is it possible you can correct this defect?

Hoping for your help with this issue, I give you my nticipated thanks.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] binhminhluc9h:
It's good and stable, many tks
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] bosse1979:
thanks for this :) hoping to see lollipop in the future.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] irvinehooi:
Hi mate, just want to check with you which CPU Governor and also which I/O Scheduler that you apply with this kernel ??

Another question, WereWolf v6 better or v8 better ?

Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] anascsk:
I'm using this ROM for last 1 year... It's a nice rom.. Nice battery backup, No lag.. I love it... Now we need a Lollipop version for this ROM... We're waiting for it.. ?
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] irvinehooi:
There will be no lollipop for this device. I agreed with you this rom is really perform very nice especially with Werewolf kernel.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] anascsk:
Can I ask why there is no lollipop for t211? :(
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] bierma32:
Read the CM 11 Thread, and you now why we have no CM11, CM12.x or Lollipop Version.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] wavempty:
good day Sir.

Please can you help me as this is my very first time to install a custom rom on my tablet, i meet all the requirements but when i open the Odin and chose to install the rom i see there is no .md5 to install the room, so i dont know what to do, should i move the .rar with the update to my sdcard and install it by the Philz Touch ?
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] bierma32:
To flash a file with Odin just have a *.tar or * .gar.md5 extension.

The nolekat Rom must have a *.ZIP extension , and is only flashable by TWRP or CWM Recovery.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] sscsps:
CWM and Philz will work wile a charm.:p

TWRP, not so much...:silly:
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] irvinehooi:
Hi, since you've confirmed yout device is rooted. Then just copy the rom zip file to your memory card then boot your device to recovery mode then flash it. There is instruction at OP.

For custom recovery which is preferred to use either CWM or PhilzTouch custom recovery to flash this rom.

Again, please remember to backup all your important things before flashing any rom.

Thanks.

If I came from the jellybean version do i need to flash via odin the kitkat stock firmware first? Cant i just flash it right away the kitkat rom?
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] slasherkev:
hi, i'm having problem installing this in my sm-t211, I flashed Philz via ODIN and tried installing this ROM via Philz recovery but the installation is so fast it finished 10 secs after I tap the install button. Tried pressing the reboot system now after the installation, but it's not booting up and directing me back to recovery again.

I am having kitkat firmware 4.4.2 philippine based before I install this ROM, I also use the Clean to Install new ROM instead of just a factory reset because I want my device to be fresh. Did I make any mistake or missed any step in installing this ROM? any help is much appreciated, thank you very much
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] gainram:
1. Maybe the file you downloaded was corrupted, redownload the file and try again.

2. After you flashed the ROM, did you also flash the update?

3. Is it still not booting up and redirecting to recovery? Flash the original firmware via odin.

4. Though it is recommend to use Philz recovery, i used CWM and had no problems.

Goodluck! :)
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] xWhiskey:
Took a risk and flashed it with TWRP. Encountered no problems. However, I did not use the latest version - instead I followed some root/recovery guide and the version attached was 2.7.1.0.

Compared with stock this ROM runs amazingly, virtually bugless so far.

Did anyone use the Werewolf kernel with it for a prolonged time period? Any experiences?
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] andynroid:
Nope it is the bootloader that has been locked by Sammy in the KKat stock ROM.

So do this as far I can remember....flash stock ROM again....flash TWRP (Odin version) then flash SuperUser to get root then you can flash this build.

But thìs build is dated 2015.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] slasherkev:
Sorry for being noob. I forgot to test the ROM I downloaded before I flash it. I tested it and found out it is corrupted indeed. I'll re-download it. Thank you very much
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] rapozaum:

Nope not working too the clear default has been locked. NVM no big deal :p

#Updates = issue is only with Google Launcher others seems fine....MyBad ! :banghead:
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] gr8nole:
Do you have Google Now (search) installed? I think it needs to be installed also (and then a reboot). A couple people with the T210 had the same issue with Google Launcher.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] andynroid:
After a reboot and reading this post Google Launcher appeared as an option :D
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] sscsps:
If you have Google now launcher, then you need Google search and Google play services to be updated

Then you can set it as default, if you have already set it as default, then you need to clear defaults of "Google search" instead of "Google now launcher" to remove it as default launcher, [MENTION=2534296]andynroid[/MENTION]

Hope this helps :)
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] gr8nole:
As of now, there have been 119 downloads. Not a lot of thread activity, so you guys are either not using the rom OR there aren't any problems to report. Hopefully it is the latter.

[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] andynroid:
Nope still using this build since December 8th. So happened to be I had a few hours back formatted my Tab3 (housekeeping) and re-flashed this build.

OK shall try my level best in reporting any errors or finding but so far can't seem to find anything minor :laugh:

Suggestions have a few which I will share later, looks like I need to be on web-based not the XDA Developer.apk (the tab is only visible on web version)

To be honest not many users are out there for the Tab3 because it came out a few months earlier before the Tab4 was launched. :confused:

With this ROM plus TWRP, thanks to you [MENTION=3034891]gr8nole[/MENTION] plus WereWolf Kernel by [MENTION=4716493]laufersteppenwolf[/MENTION] makes the device a perfect combination :cool:

Keep Up the Good Work to All !
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] Rampoo:

US radio

Good Rom but no data connection, anyway to get a US radio attached?
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] gr8nole:
I don't have a copy of the US firmware.

If you already had the US radio, this did not change it. Radios don't get flashed with roms.

You probably need to edit the APNs.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] ethical ricado:
Finally, i was expecting you to do something for t211 and you did

luckily i was just browsing over the tab 3 forum(Trust me, i stopped doing it a long time ago because i was lazy)

and i found this thread

so trying it out now

and will report if any error is there

cheers bro and thank you so much for your time and effort \m/

Two days of heavy usage and coming from stock Indian firmware

this is a win

its fast and light...had a lot of lags and hangs at first but they eventually went away as i set the tab and let it calm down aha :P

the only thing i would want for now is a bit of theming

i am actually trying to do, but seriously my luck is always bad and i am not experienced enough

but will try it anyway :D

and again, thanks for this gr8nole \m/

I apologize for taking so long to fix this problem. I must have initially overlooked your post.

Flash the attached zip to fix the weather widget. I'm pretty confident that it will work, but please let me know since I don't have this device to test.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] gr8nole:
Please re-flash the rom to re-install the stock kernel. No wipes needed. Let me know if that fixes your issues. If not, I can look into it more.

I had rooted and flashed a custom recovery onto my Tab 3, few months back... and recently Odin flashed 4.4 kitkat,

BUT after that it doesn't boot into Custom recovery.. nor does it show it to be rooted, when I checked through 'root checker' app.

1) How to boot into custom recovery to flash NoleKat ROM, or can I replace the previous custom recovery by installing the PhilzTouch recovery now?

2) ..and Is Root access necessary? If yes, then how to root it again?
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] gr8nole:
When you Odin flashed the stock KitKat firmware, you replaced your previous custom recovery with the stock recovery and overwrote any system root files.

Just re-install the custom recovery that you wish to use (with Odin); then use it to install this rom.

[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] gr8nole:
The same way you use regular multi-window. Just drag another app from the MW sidebar onto the screen.

This is not a rom issue (at least no other reports of it). It is most likely a problem on your end (device/pc/cable/drivers??).
