upgraded in a dumb way

Hi,

I have installed this ROM but made the seemingly stupid mistake to install it from the device itself. The upgrade went without issues but upon boot, after the "upgrading applicaitons" panel I just see a black screen with the top bar and the clock. I am not able to do anything on this screen except for shutting down and restarting the device.

What is the good way to recover from this state?

Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] eousphoros:
Try doing a factory reset from the recovery

Is anyone having an issue playing back video? I'm trying to watch some videos stored on the SD card and the players I have tried(bs player and mx player) both blink the video very sporadically. It's like, a black blink every other second.

the sample video that I find on the device doesn't have blinking video(some mp4 video called wonder of nature). I'm gonna copy the mkv file from the sd card now and test to see if it blinks when the content is on the internal storage

That didn't help it. So I think the issue might be with the file type. Maybe it doesn't like 720p mkv files. These played perfectly on touchwiz with bs player. I'm not sure why the video is blinking on this CM12 build :(

the audio doesn't skip. just the video blinks. everything else seems to work though
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] eousphoros:
Dunno, 5 GHz is working here. Perhaps you are in a different region then me? If you send me a logcat I might be able to help further.
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] eousphoros:
I'm not surprised, media/picture decoding is on my list. If you can point me at a sample video that does it that might help.

Same here won't install on my T705 I think I'm getting same issues tbh

Same issues here for me with TWRP & CWM I have T705

---------- Post added at 10:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:25 AM ----------

Still had no luck I get errors towards end I have T705 but oddly CM11 flashes perfectly just CM12 doesn't also CM12 Gapps give error code 7 as well
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] eousphoros:
I'm unlikely to fix any issues for the t705. :( though if you come up with a fix I'll see what I can do to merge it in. ☺
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] danny19901:
OK oddly though CM11 T700 works fine on T705
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] DebauchedSloth:
Same here - don't really see video from Archos video or from MXPlayer until I rotate the screen, then I can see a frame, and then it goes back to black.

I also don't see my 5Ghz Wireless (could it be because it's AC?) and there's an occasional screen flicker.

Other than those three things, this ROM is literally flawless for me. I am extremely impressed - this is awesome work!
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] interfreak:
Some other issues I've noticed:

+ Dolphin Browser is very buggy, lots of lag

+ There's no way to turn off keyboard sounds

+ Swipe doesn't appear to be an option on the Android keyboard

That's about it, as mentioned, fantastic work so far. :D
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] suzook:
Great job!
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] win81-64:
Disabling HW overlay stops the blinking of the videos as a temporary fix until eousphoros fix's it. Noticed Dolphin browser was very laggy too but stock works fine.
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] win81-64:
Untick Dolphin Jetpack for temporary lag fix until proper fix is out. I was having problems saving downloads and accessing Titanium Backup download location on sdcard until I thought i would try applying the sdcard fix for kitkat and it worked. Still can't get Mobizen to see my files though where it was working in CM11.
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] Enddo:
Awesome. This definitely resolved the issue for me :)

Epic build [MENTION=2346758]eousphoros[/MENTION]. Thanks for all the work you have put into this tablet.
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] eousphoros:
I'm glad this is working mostly for people. Thank you all for the help and kind words.

Hw overlay strikes again eh? OK I'm doing a new build now with a potential fix but don't tell the wife. She thinks I'm doing acual work. ;)
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] DebauchedSloth:
Second that - disable hw_overlay fixed it for me too. Excellent!
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] :
Clean flash.
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] eousphoros:
That's probably due to using the open source gralloc instead of the sammy blob which requires some mods to the core framework in order to use which would make going official more painful. Once we get official I will probably continue an unofficial build fork that has some of these trickier optimizations

How do I get to recovery when not being able to boot into the OS properly? Tried holding voldown+power and voldown+power+home but cannot get into TWRP. :(

---------- Post added at 06:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:24 PM ----------

Thanks. Any way to do that without reverting to stock first?

Ignore me, found it. VolUp+Home+Power. Did a factory reset and now I get the welcome wizard. Thanks for the help!
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] eousphoros:
Glad that fixed it. Let me know if you encounter any other oddities and I'll do my best to help. :D
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] mfly9:
Seems quite unstable though. Will do a clean flash and see if that helps.
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] eousphoros:
If you continue to experience instability after the clean install let me know what you are seeing. I've been using this as a daily driver and haven't seen anything major broken.

[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] kipue:
Strangely, I have noticed that the sluggishness is alleviated by using a live wallpaper.

Try this and tell me. On a static wallpaper, I usually get some slow animation right after unlocking, for a few times as you describe. With a lwp, it's still there sometimes but much better.

Go figure :silly:

[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] minieod:
Need to ask another question....is there anything built into the ROM that prevents rwx permissions for sdcard universally?

For example...I store my comic cbr files on my sd...and use a comic reader and from that app you can delete files (like removing from a shelf after finished with it)

Using blissrom I had no issue with this.. Since switching, multiple apps fail upon trying to delete the files...I couldn't even delete files from my SD until o gave fx and es file explorers permissions

This leads me to believe the app needs w access to the card, or its not universally set for the ROM

Any thoughts?
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] hhairplane:
Sweet worked for me, great thing to add to OP.
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] kipue:
Hey, check a few pages back, I (and others) commented on this.

Use a "SD card fix" app (find one on the market, I used "nextApp sd fix"). It's meant for Kitkat, but will fix your problem here on Lollipop too :)

---------- Post added at 03:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:13 PM ----------

Glad that my trick with the LWP helped :) I think I read about it elsewhere but can't remember where (so can't take all credit on this).

Now the question is does it have a side-effect on the battery?

From my observation, I think not, but maybe the processing involved on displaying the live wallpaper keeps the CPU at a higher rate faster after unlock?

Someone with better technical knowledge might be able to help better ^^
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] TheBashar:
Thanks for the great ROM. Has been very stable. I only ran into two issues so far. Apologies if they are already known; I might have skipped about 20 pages.

1) Cannot unpin program. I pinned Chrome and then was not able to unpin it. Nothing but rebooting worked. I tried: long hold recents, recents and home, back, back and home.

2) Cannot unselect "CyanogenMod Account" as Device Administrator. Tablet hard locked. Had to hard power off to recover. I don't have a cyanogenmod account linked to the tablet if that makes a difference.
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] revendel:
Acknowledged, BUT I have a t705 with the Exynos chipset, or a t700 with LTE if you prefer.
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] AxMaster007:
My apologies if I've missed it, but I've kept up with this project as best I can over the last few months and the one show stopper for using this as my daily driver is the ability to store apps on SD (App2SD). Had to finally revert back to TW a month ago, but as this appears close to official status wanted to give it a try if it's been resolved.
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] Kholargol:
Just to report that I've got some (rare) random freeze with the tab. And I can't swithc off with power, I must reboot by holding up, home and power buttons. It started only since the release before cm-12-20150219-UNOFFICIAL-klimtwifi.zip (I don't remember the number) that I had dirty flashed.

Because of the freeze, I installed cm-12-20150219-UNOFFICIAL-klimtwifi.zip with a full Wipe (system, data, cache, dalvik) but they are still here.

It's not annoying for me but if someone else has the same problem, perhaps that I could help..
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] rcuswalk:
I also get random freezes — usually shortly after a full charge. When it happens, the screen goes completely blank except for the status bar. It happens whether I dirty flash or wipe everything beforehand. It’s kind of frustrating, but so far hasn’t been a big problem. Otherwise, this rom rocks! Thanks so much for making it available.

[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] Seph32:
Since this ROM is going official does this mean we can apply update through update in Android instead flashing manually? :)
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] Enddo:
CM12 does have an update manager, but all it does is download it and reboot you into TWRP to flash it. So it's the exact same flashing process. just remember to create a backup before you start it because all you're doing is a dirty flash
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] Seph32:
Yeah, I always make backups, on another note when you normally update in CM11, isn't that a dirty flash as well?
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] Enddo:
You are correct, when you install one update on top of another, it is called a dirty flash. Clean flash means that you wiped the partitions before installing

Sorry for the late reply. I am using a Pyramid Bluetooth speaker. I connected it to my Note 4 with CM12 and volume was fine and when I connected it back to my Tab S sound was fine this time. So I am not sure what happened here.

How do u guys flash the cyanogen-recovery (CWM) in the first page? have managed to soft-brick my t700 2 times now, cwm recovery says there is no recovery available for t700, so ive tried flashing through twrp, since that just complains the zip's are corrupt.. but everytime it flashes, and on reboot it ends up in download-mode loop...
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] :
Open a shell and get root access (terminal or adb; su)

/system/bin/dd if=/path/to/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/dw_mmc.0/by-name/RECOVERY
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] kipue:
Hey, I've never ever used the CM recovery linked in the OP, but always TWRP.

Make sure you are using the very latest TWRP (or at least 2.8.4.0), and make sure that the zip file for the rom is not broken. Easy way to know that is to try to unrar it on the computer. If the unrar (or unzip or whatever) process works, then the file is correctly downloaded :)
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] :
Yes. Be patiened and wait. The dd command writes zeros in blockas of 1 megabyte to the whole system partition - that takes some time.
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] bono82:
It was actually the zip-file, had to move it like 3 times to tablet, eventually it worked from the internal memory, not the sdcard :eek:

Now iam struggling with getting root working lol, the CF autoroot i used before doesnt wanna work, flashed via Odin, but still aint rooted for some reason..
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
Cfautoroot sometimes doesnt work on newer firmwares. Happens sometimes. Simply just flash twrp recovery, and flash this http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu in twrp. Then your rooted
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] eousphoros:
You don't need supersu for root. Just go into developer options and enable root for .

An update on official. Just got gerrit access which means I can push changes to the official repos. Need to finish reading the wiki pages but we are one commit away from the first nightly build.
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] amrmorsy:

[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] bono82:
Ohh cool, was not aware of that option :) had some strange issues with it though, twrp manager and SuperSU not launching, but root is working fine now after SuperSU flash via twrp :)

another strange thing i noticed is that enabling OSD buttons wont disable HW buttons..but perhaps that is not possible to do yet?
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] Kholargol:
Installed the last version. I didn't launch the script in recovery because I didn't know how to do but I wipe caches, data, system, boot end internal sd before install. This version is good for. Usable and fast. My tab still continue to freeze sometimes. I discovered that it happebs only when battery is low (under 20%).

It's freeze at 20%, then I hard reboot and just after battery lose 10%! Very weird..

Waiting for the official version now for the last (I hope) full wipe.. :)
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] eousphoros:
Disabling the hw buttons broke I believe when I enabled selinux. It will be fixed after I finish doing the final bits for official.
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] kev0153:
Does enabling selinux break xposed? Thought I read somewhere it might.
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] asferreira:
Yes, it does. Disable SELinux is a requirement to use Xposed in any ROM.
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] :
I'm not using exposed, so this is third hand knowledge, but users in the chagallwifi cm12 thread have repprted xposed working - and I'm quite sure the rom has selinux set to enforcing (to be honest: I'm absolutley sure - 'cause I made it).
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] kev0153:
I just tried installing xposed with selinux enforced and it does not work. Modules will not activate after a reboot. I've been searching all morning on how to disable selinux but so fat all techniques have failed. I've used used a root app in the play store and a couple of command line techniques.
[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] :
The procedure described in t800 cm12 thread does not work? Sure?

[Galaxy Tab S Original Android Development] Enddo:
You need to download the SELinux mode changer app from the Google Play Store. Grant it root access and then switch it to permissive.

From here, each time you reboot the device, you need to do a soft reboot. This soft reboot button is in the Xposed Installer app, but if you enable the 'power menu' from the Developer Options of CM12, then when you tap on the reboot option you will have the option to do a soft reboot

Doing a soft reboot, after a full(normal) reboot, will allow Xposed to work with any AOSP ROM(eg CM12)
