This isn't a ROM issue but here's what's going on.

The only thing I could find from the log and some research is "not enough space" error.

I see that neko is getting downloaded and attempted to install.

Code -18 (looking thru Linux archives) is a storage space issue

It failed to install the first time and Android tried to install it again, but that failed as well.

It may also be an API issue (Android version) if an old version installs fine but the newer will not. I would contact the app developer.

Didn't worked, tried four times with two different SD cards. I guess my android likes to make a corrupt file over and over again. Will try with one extracted from my phone to see what happens. Definitely not a space issue, I tried to install it after the clean rom flash so there was almost 3GB of free space plus 32GB SD card. Over 70 apps install with no issue, even Yu Gi Oh! wooping 600mb+ game.

Thanks anyway :good:

Guess time to email the developer :cool: .

P.S. What the F... can't install in my Galaxy S5. Not even downloads, never seen an app bugged in the Google Play store. I guess its corrupted or some shiet.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] fen_nyc:
Cheers g_ding84, for the awesome rom! I installed your 2.1 version months ago & my 230TU tab functioned great- until today during a DigiCal & imgur app update where RIGHT afterwards, the dreaded "acore" dropped. :/

I didn't see or have forgotten about that bug (synch has been problem free since 2.1 flashing) & so coming back, I decided to clean flash your 2.3 release. Very smooth, gratitude for the update!

I have a question about the above- specifically the modem + BL firmwares & the kernel update; should I flash them after installing 2.3?

Again, many thanks for the superb rom!
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] thelous:
Does newest version of rom fix acore crashes? Im on like 6 month old version of this rom.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] g_ding84:
You can update with the firmware only .tar I like to keep my firmware and OS match but it's not a necessity.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] g_ding84:
I haven't had the issue since in the last 3 versions.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] thelous:
Okay, so i update by flashing zip, no wipes needed right? i hate making backup every 1 week just to be safe from acore crashes....
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] fen_nyc:
So in reference to those downloads, there isn't any performance/compatibility reason to install them if things are running smoothly? R
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] g_ding84:
Not really.

Edit: however if and/or when we ever do get lollipop, we will need to flash the bootloader and modem to match up with the OS. Samsung loves to do that. (KitKat bootloader may not boot up a lollipop kernel)
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] g_ding84:
You can do a dirty flash (wipe cache and dalvik)
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] emoboy (Official Name!):
I love this ROM <3

Great updates.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] Justray:
I strongly suggest you to format the SD card (not the external SD card). Just backup all into the removable SD card and format the internal SD. Why do I recommend this? I did a dirty flash from a stock rom and i only had like 1.5 gb of free space, filled up quickly and about 400mb or less the system doesn't let you install **** because of low space. Had to delete some apps.

I updated to the latest Acheron v2.3 and did a clean flash, now I got all the apps I had and still have 1.56 GB free. I even suggest to add a recommendation in the first post to do a clean flash if you coming from a vanilla stock.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] Justray:
Finally got the feared acore stopped working bug. The fix in the second post didn't worked for me. Going into settings, general, applications manager, cleaning data for contacts and contacts storage did it for me. Maybe this has been discussed before but I'm too lazy to search over 60 pages of an issue I fixed so I'm just posting just in case it helps someone else. [emoji6]
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] thelous:
good, because installing everything sucks ass :/ imma make backups and try updating it ^.^
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] Justray:
Well, I finally installed my app.

[emoji58] install with no sd card attached. For some reason my .android folder was always empty, no smdl2tmp1.asec inside, nothing, even the one from my phone has nothing. Yes, I checked the site hidden files checkmark. I also sometimes use winrar (specially browsing infected PCs) and nothing. Balls.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] stevejohnson42:
finally seem to have overcome the "feared acore stopped working"

Thanks so much - I have REALLY been wanting to run this ROM , but have always hit the bug -- been running Prism Barebone ROM pretty much since i have had the device ; but much rather have a version on the device that has an active developer and community. I keep looking for a custom ROM team to pick this up and get us into a newer version of Android ; but - understand this device has some very unique challenges and greatly appreciate the work done by this developer and the community participation
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] derekq:
Am I blind? It says ROM is based on APA but the device is still vulnerable to stagefright?:confused:

PS: This might sound odd but am I able to get Touchwiz Launcher back
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] g_ding84:
I'll have to check about the stage fright patch but yes this ROM base is updated to APA. Is the fully stock, no root patched? And there are many stage fright vulnerability. which one are you referring to?

(SELinux is set to permissive for Viper4Android to work)

For the stock TW Launcher :

You can but I have to pull it from the stock IMG and deodex it for this ROM.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] derekq:
It will be awesome if you can do that during your free time :) There are reasons for some people to like the Touchwiz launcher, I think :confused:

Yes, the latest frimware for my tablet SM-T230NU (Canadian Variant) has all stagefright vulnerability patched and the reason I am asking is because that is also APA. (ROM date was Feb, 15 of 2016) PDA:	T230NUUEU0APA1 CSC:	T230NUXAC0APA1. After I flashed your ROM I noticed a bunch of known patched vulnerabilities that's why I found it strange (or maybe I am really blind).

Other than that, ROM is smooth and well optimized :) Awesome Job :)

Edit : May I also ask what do you mean by "fully stock, no root patched?" I also don't see XXU0APA1 in SamMobile list.

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-T230/ and http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-T230NU/ (To make sure that I am looking at two different model (the IR blaster one and the non IR blaster one)
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] g_ding84:
I'll see what I can do. [emoji3]

For the firmware.....I can see if I missed something.....but my ROM does not flash the protected partitions. (Bootloader, modem and hidden partitions) I'll have to make a full firmware only .tar to patch then.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] ecrepeau:
Sorry for such a newb post

Never mind. Found the answer.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] Justray:
Nice, welcome to the best T230 Rom in the world.

One last issue. In stock and Acheron v2.1 I could rotate the device upside down (home button at the top) and the screen would rotate just fine.

With the newest v2.3 I can't. Is there something I can do like mess in wanam or something? Normal settings don't allow such option unlike CM roms.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] g_ding84:
I just checked. It won't rotate 360* only 270*. Not sure.....I didn't change any tweaks. Just a new base.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] g_ding84:
FYI

I'm doing a small update. V2.3.1

I'm checking on the stage fright patches and will try to add the stock TW Launcher to the ROM.

?
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] Fyredragon:
Small update being 5.1.1? LOL Heya G. am still here and waiting on those morons @ Samsung for a upgrade so you would be forced back to work :D

[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] g_ding84:

[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] Fyredragon:
Yea me too. Been watching youmobile and other places and absolutely nothing from Samsung on this device. I watch other places just hoping someone has a miracle breakthrough and can get this to at least 5.1 LOL

Pretty frustrating to have to buy on budget and find out we are forgotten over the mega dollar devices :)

Dragon
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] derekq:
Wish they at least release the drivers if they don't want to update. Developers just need the drivers to create a custom lollipop update... I think... They all have the device tree and... "stuff" I think :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] gaog77:
what does od1 and apa1 means? also to update the kermel do i use odin or flash it? thank you everyone.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] kecsap:
Does anybody know why Android is so stupid on this tablet that 400MB is not enough to install (or update) an app? I wondered all the time if some other partition or temp folder gets full.

(This is not a critic to the ROM developer. As I could google the issue, there is similar problem with the vanilla stock rom.)
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] g_ding84:
OD1 and APA1 are builds (official from Samsung - patches and fixes) I use to remember how to read them. APA1 was built by Samsung on January 6 2016. I forget the date on OD1 but I know it was build back in 2015.

OD1 was an older build from last year

APA1 is the newest build.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] Justray:
Don't worry it's an android problem. I guess it reserves some % If the internal storage for cache and storage for the apps. Maybe back in the day when we had 1-4gb of storage this percent was barely enough but with 8gb and up looks somewhat retarded I know.

Or maybe it's reserved for the os updates, who knows. The fact is you need more than 400mb to install a 20mb app
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] AwlsomeAlex:
Hello, could I use TWRP 2.8.0.1 to install the ROM?

Also If I can't, how do I update my current version of TWRP?
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] g_ding84:
Download the TWRP zip file you need (US version or European version)

Reboot to TWRP recovery and flash zip. The reboot recovery. You have TWRP 2.8.7.0
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] g_ding84:
BTW guys. My tablet died. Not sure if it's hardware or battery. (No download mod, recovery mode or regular boot) it's a nice paper weight. :(

I set it down yesterday afternoon and went to go charge it last night and nothing. And of course my warranty is up.

I do have a ROM update (don't be scared that didn't brick my tablet) just a minor one.

I'll post the update tomorrow morning for you guys.

I'll still try to build updates as they come along. (Not the first time I built a ROM without the device[emoji14])
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] g_ding84:
Double post
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] Fyredragon:
EEK!!! :)

Mine did same thing awhile back and found a battery on Amazon for about 12 bucks that fixed my problem. I know yours goes through more terror than mine does but may be all it is.

All your work is appreciated my friend and hopefully you will continue or find the miracle 5.1.1 or god forbid the 6.0! LOL

Dragon
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] snibe:
When I installed 2.3 it brought back the software menu/recent keys so I used an old mod to remove them but it looks like it reverted the build back to 2.1.1_AOD1 is that normal because of that mod?
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] g_ding84:
I'll investigate. Might have left the old build.prop in the zip.

I'll have a new build up this weekend for sure.

[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] g_ding84:
I don't know. I think you would need to flash the full APA1 .tar.md5 to patch stage fright. (To patch the hidden partition, bootloader and modem)

Also, maybe due to to mods I have baked it. Viper4Android requires SELinux to be permissive.

No, my tablet is shot. It works as an awesome paperweight though. [emoji12]

I have a galaxy S4 and basically the way they patched it is to use those stage fright libraries and replace the old ones and execute a line of code from update-script/update-binary. I tried to overwrite the new libraries myself but is still vulnerable, assuming that kind of code is what really patches it.

[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] stevejohnson42:
Slightly off topic - Nice tablet ; but ..

Again .. much thanks to developer that has improved on stock .. at least we have that . Really a shame ; partly my fault - I bought the Tab 4 as a very satisfied user of the Tab 2 ; only reason quit using that as daily driver was the power switch is hit and miss to wake the device up. -- I just "assumed" the 4 would be similar , but with upgrades - not some unique chip set and basically developed and abandoned.

Still use my Tab 2 as a streaming music device -- I hadn't looked in awhile and had been running SlimKat on it ; today - I put OmniROM on it - running MM on my Tab 2.

I understand - would not have expected Samsung to keep updating the Tab 2 ; the community of developers did that -- but it would be really nice if Samsung would provide the tools so developers could pick up the development of the Tab 4 ; it is pretty obvious Samsung is going to do nothing with it.

Determined to never buy another device without extensive research first to see if it is custom ROM "friendly"

Sounds like a bad download. Did you check the MD5 Sum before you flashed it?
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] Afuta:
But this is only just the wipe, not even the flash.

It is using ext4 as file system is that correct?

The MD5 checksum is okay btw
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] g_ding84:
There might be an issue with that recovery. Try 2.8.7.0 and see if that solves the issue.

Yes our partition is ext4
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] Afuta:
Could you give me some guidance?

At the moment I am only able to start the TWRP recovery :crying:

Not sure how I should proceed.

I'm unable to load the TWRP zip file that is in this thread with ODIN. That is not excepting zip files.

---------- Post added at 02:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:13 PM ----------

Was able to flash it finally, the problem was that TWRP did not actual mount the partitions so I needed to do that manually first.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] g_ding84:
That's a problem. TWRP won't mount system and data partitions when you wipe?

Did you try advanced wipe or factory reset?

What TWRP version are you using again?

Can you post /cache/recovery/last_log (lastlog)?
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] Afuta:
I used the 3.0.0 and the 3.0.2 but both did not mount the partitions during the boot of TRWP.

After I went into the mount menu and mounted all the partitions I was able to do the Advanced wipe as described in the opening post as well as the installation of the ROM.

Thank you.

Bring this up with the recovery maintainer. TWRP first looked at block 14 for /system but corrected itself to look in block 15. But gave a "cannot probe" error. What I don't get is all the partitions are labeled correctly when TWRP boots. (FSTab file).

When you flashed TWRP for the first time, did you allow TWRP to modify the /system folder?

But like I said earlier, show that log to the TWRP maintainer and describe your issue. [emoji4]

(Thank you for providing logs and describing you issue. That's how things get resolved.)
