Thanks! Is the modem and boot loader firmware even necessary?
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] g_ding84:
No it's not necessary. I saw a bit of improvement but each tablet is different. Worst case on updating the Modem and bootloader is you don't see any difference.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] g_ding84:
Re-download the TWRP zip and flash it again. Worst case use ODIN to flash TWRP.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] kiwikh87:
Hello I cant install some apps with this ROM. If i use an apk i got this error: "App was not Installed"

If i would like to load the same app from the Playstore is called: "No memory space available" but it is more than enough free.

Can someone help?

Regards

Edit:

It works with APK Editor.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] iansspare2:
Do i need to update the kernel and firmware to the PA1 before installing the rom? if so do i do the firmware in odin and then just flash the kernel in twrp?
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] kiwikh87:
Just flash Twrp and Boot that Recovery. Then install the Rom just as in the first post has already been said. Very Easy ;)
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] g_ding84:
Flash this with ODIN to update the Modem firmware.

Thanks for the ROM!

I installed the ROM and it appears to be working fine. I selected English (US) language at config wizard, but if I try to change the language via Settings afterwards, a window appears: "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped". So, I can't change the language !

Any ideas?

Great rom but I have 1 problem:

Gallery app doesn't work after using the debloaters.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] Steve_Goral:
Hi, I'm having a similar problem to the others where TWRP just returns to the homescreen when I try and flash the ROM. Should I have rooted it before I wiped the stock firmware?

Edit -

Got it sorted, it turns out that in my case the Zip files had to be on internal storage rather than the SD Card. Worth noting for anyone else that might be struggling.

rom is installed but android.process.acore keeps stopping continually
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] CTXCI:
This is caused by a Sync issue with Google and SecContacts - Fix, Go to settings>account>google>sync settings (only allow app data, pictures, sound search and gmail to sync - turn the rest off)

I always disable Picsa Albums too, but that’s just me.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] danerrickcuba@gmail.com:
Good day:

I'm writing here out of desperation, and total respect to anyone who gets to read this:

1.I have a galaxy tab active 8" LTE, perfectly similar to the galaxy tab 4 (7" & 10.1") except for battery and screen size.

2.I managed to create a TWRP-3.1.1-0 using sources, no developer is supporting the tab active anywhere

3.I tried following this guide to create a kernel but not succeeding,I tried flashing superSU to the created kernel using Samsung sources, but still not winning, mostly due to no experience and poor knowledge.

4.I'm looking for anyone with time to spare, to help create a device tree for my tablet, or help creating a custom rom, or port one of the roms from the device at the top...I'll pay for the troubles and I'll test and provide logs as needed!!!!

5.please help or input constructively!!!

I inherited the "Nook" version of an SM-T230NU, and so I went in search of a ROM to rid myself of all the Nook stuff (and the Samsung stuff, for that matter) and settled on this one. This tablet doesn't have the speed or the beautiful screen of my trusty old 7" Kindle Fire HDX, but it should serve nicely as a backup. I successfully installed Acheron and so far, so good! Thanks for all the effort that went into this.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] SnakeByte:
[MENTION=4644109]g_ding84[/MENTION] THANK YOU, I just installed, i'll give it a try... Looks neat ;)
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] g_ding84:
Hope you enjoy. I don't have this tablet anymore so I did stop working on this ROM. Plus I haven't seen if there has been a firmware update.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] SnakeByte:
Yes, works great so far, as for right now we got no official upgrades for this. Love the xposed preinstalled, rooted, along with xprivacy makes it way safer. I'm a permissions freak :o

Everything works, no errors. Once again thanks for taking the time to make this.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] ashven288:
Yeah, I love this rom as well. Had it for about a year now :o. Mainly use my tablet as a comic book reader and its battery is phenomenal. With everything disable (background sync, wifi, bluetooth, location, etc) I get about 6-7hrs SOT with max brightness. Also standby time is amazing (2% per 24 hrs). Thanks once again.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] Adzkii:
i flashed the remove navbar, now menu and back keys arent working?
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] g_ding84:
Have you tried a data/factory reset? I noticed when I had my tablet that I would need to do that once and a while to get them to work. Now they don't light up either which is confusing.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] Adzkii:
aw i wish i could but i have so much of my data on the tablet. is there navbar restore zip?

I am successfully using this rom without any issue since May 2016. The file I installed rom from was ACHERON_ROM_V2.3_SM_T230_NU.zip.

The only problem I am having is, I am running out of storage. I only have hardly 600mb space left on the tablet. Not to mention, I have no documents, songs, pictures or movies on the device.

here are my few questions,

1.) is there any newer update on this ROM?

2.) can I get an external SD card and have applications installed directly on the external sd card?

Please guide me in right direction,

Thanks,
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] secretwolf98:
1) no

2) not possible on kitkat
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] g_ding84:
As stated before for

#1 - no, since there isn't an update to the stock firmware there is no real reason to update. Also, I no longer have this tablet and I hate doing an update "blind". (I have no way to test it)

#2 yes there is an app in the play store to force install apps on the SD Card however, most games you can move most of the app over to the SD Card.

I would try an app like SD Maid. It will go thru and look for orphaned data and files on your internal and external storage and clean up left over for previous ROMs.

I also use Google photos to back up all my pics and videos and remove them from my phone. I have the Nexus 6 and there isn't an SD slot to my space is limited too.

Just a few tips I've done to keep my storage at minimum.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] theteju:
Thank you for your hard work and support. Your support and respond is highly appreciated specially since you no longer work on the ROM. Unlike other developers you dont left us alone!!

Again,

Thank you very much.

Any word on the black background theme? Been running v1.4.5 since released and pretty trouble free. I did notice on doing a clean install (full wipe), it would say google launcher needed an update but then Google play kept throwing an update error. I decided to see what happened if I tried again, and had the same problem. I ended up restoring Google services, framework, and play store from Titanium backup and then it worked as normal. Went back yesterday and tried again with a full wipe, and everything went normal. The only difference was being connected to WiFi during install the only time it went problem free. Not sure why. Even with the previous trouble, it remained problem free after restoring Google services from TB

Can this be flashed on the Galaxy Tab 4 SM-T237P?? :confused:
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] g_ding84:
Yes sir...I'm still working on it. Between kid's B-Day, mandatory over time at work and general stuff around the house progress has been slow. (I do apologize.....But family and work first ;) )

Not sure why it took a bit to have the google play services update.

Glad you got everything working.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] g_ding84:
No.....different Firmware. This is for the WiFi only 230 and 230NU.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] Custodian:
Will you be making a ROM for Sprint Galaxy Tab 4 SM-T237P?? Seems like there's 0 roms for it :crying:
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] g_ding84:
one time deal.

I can. I need the Partition layout for the updater-script for the SM-T237P. you can get these from terminal emulator.

su
mount

Then let me know the correct partition layout....Since I don't have the device, me making an updater-script willie-nellie will cause bricks. I need the info to move forward.

Odexed and possible Deodexed versions. Root, Busybox and init.d support.

ie...the SM-T230/NU system, data and boot are these :

/dev/block/platform/soc.2/by-name/SYSTEM

is the /system partition

/dev/block/platform/soc.2/by-name/USER

is the /data partition

/dev/block/platform/soc.2/by-name/KERNEL

is the boot.img/kernel partition
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] g_ding84:
The kernel partition I'm taking is

/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/kernel (boot)

correct? need to know the correct path.

you can use a file browser to check. and TY for the help
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] Custodian:
I just checked now, that path is not there at all.....

here's a list of what's in the directory:

/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/

aboot

apnhlos

backup

boot

cache

carrier

dbi

ddr

efs

fota

fsc

fsg

modem

modemst1

modemst2

pad

param

persdata

persist

recovery

rpm

sbl1

ssd

system

tz

userdata

and that's all located in that directory
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] g_ding84:
(Boot) is what I need. Thank you sir.

Boot is the kernel

System is just that

Userdata is the data partition.

I think I got it all set......I'll have a test version uploaded tonight. I'll PM you the link.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] Custodian:
Alright bingo! If possible, could you make it Odin flashable, since the 237P Sprint Variation doesn't have a custom recovery atm...
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] decimetar:
hey man, great job on the rom. it's pretty cool!

I started getting android.process.acore notification when I installed and run skype. and now it's popping every few seconds. I tried clearing cache of contacts but it didn't work. can you help?

and one question, why this tablet only has 4Gb of storage if it says it's 8Gb?

Thanks!! :)
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] g_ding84:
That changes the game......I have a flashable zip made up. :/ No promises but I'll see what I can do. There isn't a TWRP varient for the SM-T237P?
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] the_dealer:
I haven't followed closely the last page or so, but I've been getting that issue as well, but don't know what it's from. It just randomly started and gets where I can't do anything. I got to contact storage and clear data and it goes stops. It's pretty random, so I just got everything back to normal after a new clean install. I thought it was all the porn I downloaded lmao, so maybe we go to the same site. BTW clearing the cache doesn't help with the acore, you have to clear the data. It has something to do with corrupted data cache

[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] decimetar:

hey man whats going on. picked up a nu version and was looking through and found good ol [MENTION=4644109]g_ding84[/MENTION] in the list of ROMs. and ofcourse i endorse everything you touch man. great seeing you still active in the forums. about to root and flash this bad boy. any chance of getting it like supers4? mind blown if you already have. will report back with anything i find for you as usual
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] g_ding84:
What's going on? :) I'm slowly working on this ROM. Working on some theming....as usual (always takes me the longest). I think you'll be happy with this ROM. There is a desperate need of work and theming to go but its stable. Yeah staying active. I'm an addict for ROMs and improving things. Working on a Lollipop Version of my S5 ROM......so this update on SM-T230/NU is going kinda slow. Can't wait for this tablet to get the lollipop update....or even CM11/12. Hit me up any time.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] pontif:
Sweet action in that ROM man. Booted right up no problems what so ever. Is there a way to over clock this bad boy? It's already snappier than stock but want to push for demanding games. LP would be awesome. Been running sacs Phoenix rom but LP source just dropped he is close to a working version with the s6 ui. And of course if you need me to test I'm your flashaholic.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] g_ding84:
No way to over-clock it yet. We need a custom kernel. Since this is a marvel chip set. The kernel is different and we need a different kernel decomplie and compile tool. (Trying to learn how to make a custom kernel) over clock and voltage per step would be nice.

As soon as I get the next ROM version going I'll PM you. :)

Hi buddy

Do you think that we can use T231 ROM on WiFi model ?

Because i see that only 3G model gets updates :(
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] g_ding84:
I have the odexed T231 ROM and kernel. The partitions are exactly the same. (No difference at all) kernel is about the same size...T230/NU 9.23MB and T231 9.1MB...it might work. Only difference is the 3g support....from what I can see.

Did you tried mic with 231 ROM for me it completely stopped i tried to fix it but it didn't work also ?
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] g_ding84:
No I haven't tried yet. I usually don't use it.

I wonder if you pulled the sound recorder apk from your last update and use that. It might fix it. (Go backwards to go forwards lol)

[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] g_ding84:
I haven't been able to find a .PIT file for this yet. Usually there is one when the initial firmware is released. Have you checked the Samsung firmware site?
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] ahat:
hi. thanks for developing rom for t230nu. rom is quite responsive and fast and better than stock rom but after 12 hours of use i have started ecountering process.android.acore error. i tried to search thread for this error and i cleared contact, contact storage and phone data and cache ans also wiped cache and delvik cache , frequency has reduced but still error is coming and also SNS service is giving unable to login error. and logcat is showing alot of errors. just 3000+ lines in 5 mins.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] pontif:
Could you tell us how you installed the ROM?

A full wipe them restart recovery install super user if asked them install ROM. Just going over basics before actual errors. It is suggested not to dirty flash.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] hotshot2:
Works good keep up the good work :good:
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] ahat:
Well I did a clean install, did factory reset, then to be on safe side wipe cache, devil cache, system and data manually from recovery and then installed rom. Using customers roms since the age of qtek2020i :)

and I always give weight to instructions of developer about installation of custom rom mentioned on first page.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] pontif:
Lol same here years of flashing experience I only go as far ad the HTC hero. The sgs2 was my big stepping stone. Didn't mean to offend just covering the basics. I flashed it on an NU version and have had no force closes my kids play on it daily. Did you do a data restore from titanium or anything that might conflict with the update?
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] ahat:
i dont mind bro. cuz a person who spends his precious time to bring a rom for us deserve alot of respect. well i just reinstalled rom without and this time i have avoided titanium backup. so waiting for error to show. by the way this rom is a hugeeeeeeeeeeeeee improvement over stock rom. made my tab alot faster and responsive than stock rom.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] pontif:
Ya [MENTION=4644109]g_ding84[/MENTION] has done huge things in the community. I call him the mad scientist a lot lol. His ROMs for all his variants have been of the highest standard and I love how he never over crowds with gimmicky mods.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] g_ding84:
The errors are caused by sec contacts and SecPhone apks. And also SNS apk.

I delete those apks after the first flash. "You" can use hangouts dailer if "you" need a phone app.

You can also get rid of SNS.apk. its terrible to begin with. Download Facebook and greenify it....;)

(I say "you" but that is directed at everyone)

Lastly,

[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
Most times you don't need a base ROM. You just need a firmware and yeah. Making it look like lollipop is the hard part. You would need to know how to theme and editing xmls.

[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] the_dealer:
I was having the acore issue a few times on more than one rom(safariking's stockrom & version 1.3+ of this rom. It's was so bad I couldn't do anything and it took multiple times clicking "ok" to get to the app list. I would clear data under contact storage and all would be good for awhile. Every rom I wipe everything(internal, data, cache, dalvik, & system), so I know it wasn't that. I haven't had that issue lately because I changed 2 things: I stopped restoring system data(email accounts, wallpaper, settings, etc.) from TB, and I started using app2zip instead. Haven't had an issue so far. I like the v1.5 so far, but any word on dark menu backgrounds? Something like dark halo would be cool.

I'm getting something odd: installed from twrp, wiped, and booted all okay. Click on Play Store, says Google Play Services isn't installed and needs this to run... Okay. (Why remove that, I'll never know lol.) Hangs on white screen for a minute, then asks me to chose my gmail or add a new one. Click my gmail, hit ok, same window pops up indefinitely. Reboot. Try clicking on Gmail, same things. Reboot. Try Play Store again, same popup, this time tried "add new account", goes to the big account screen, input my existing gmail credintials, "unable to communicate with servers at this time" something something "try again later". Checked wifi, ok, keep hitting retry to no avail. Reboot. Try Google Play Store yet again, this time just hangs indefinitely at a white screen.

I'll try reinstalling the ROM again :) I have faith. Just wanted to share my wierd experience.

---------- Post added at 06:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:13 PM ----------

Update: I'm making progress now lol. Went back out to twrp and did "Factory Reset" AND "Advanced Wipe" of everything! Then reinstalled rom, and so far so good. Perhaps it was simply my inexperience with twrp, I'm used to cwm and that other old touch one from years ago. This explained how my wifi and credintials were left over into this new rom after flash.

So I guess note to fellow twrp noobs lol: just clicking "wipe" isn't apparently enough anymore. After your initial backup, do "factory reset" then "advanced wipe" then install rom, and should be good. :)
