Validus Lollipop 8.0

SM-T310

[lt01wifi] ONLY!!!

Welcome to the OFFICIAL thread of Validus Lollipop for the SM T310 better known as lt01wifi, Build's are usually updated on a weekly or wheneverwefeellikely basis. I am NOT the Developer of this ROM, I am just a graphics guy on Team Ground Zero. All credit goes to Team Ground Zero and all our hardworking Devs. Team Ground Zero is built upon the willingness to learn, create and socialize on Android. Creators of Validus, a custom AOSP ROM with many features created in house as well as pulled from CyanogenMod, SlimROMs, Paranoid Android and others. Members are also dev/maintainers for other popular ROMs. Enjoy your stay! Also, unofficial builds from source will not be supported. You assume all responsibility for anything that may happen and Team Validus cannot and will not be held responsible for anything that may happen to your device as a result of flashing a rom.

*FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK*

NOT WORKING:

-Netflix

-HBO

-Stock CM camera

(Please install your favourite 3rd party camera app)

I use this one - https://www.dropbox.com/s/0plljcutwn02lq7/CameraNext.apk?dl=0

It takes Very Nice pictures (for a tablet camera)...Video is choppy similar to the cm12 build.

-You tell us

Official:

06/04/15

-DPI is set to 222 Going any lower may cause rotation FC.... IF YOU WANT A SMALLER KEYBOARD INSTALL TBO SUPER SWIFTKEY.

-YOU MUST INSTALL A THIRD PARTY CAMERA ON THIS BUILD... VIDEO CAM AND FRONT CAM WORK FOR SKYPE ETC... BUT VIDEO RECORDING IS VERY CHOPPY... DO NOT TRY THE CM CAMERA AS YOUR TABLET WILL JUST REBOOT.

BaNKs Gapps 5.1.x (06/13/15)

http://fitsnugly.euroskank.com/?rom=banks&device=gapps

Make sure you have the latest TWRP or Philz Recovery for the SM t310 [lt01wifi] (I prefer Philz as TWRP 2.8.3.0 gave me some backup issues)

Wipe data/Factory Reset

Flash Validus

Flash Gapps (I prefer BaNKs gapps)

Reboot...

Enjoy!

Here's a good place to start for CM12 themes. https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/112270486113315228704

****Please Undertand that the CM12 Theme Engine is in its early stages and some things may not work or function as they should. Use at your own risk and don't complain about themes in this thread. Using any part of the theme engine may cause System Ui FC. Our Team has worked really hard to theme this ROM the way we like it....The CM team has to get their theme engine bugs worked out, we are just happy to have it in there to play around with for now.....

Keyboard

We can now change keyboard, you could not before.
[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] Ariesdroid:
You mean from the built in choices or 3rd party? I could change the built in ones on the first build too..
[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] Naruto37:
In the previous version could not change SwiftKey, in this versión Yes.

---------- Post added at 05:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:37 PM ----------

I could not in options, neither could with their own app SwiftKey, in this construction I can Yes. Sorry for my English.
[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] Micheal86:
Sir,

Would you please make this excellent rom for our T311, so that we also can taste android L on our T311?
[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] Ariesdroid:
Sorry, but no one on our team has the 311...We only build for devices we own and can test....I am just a graphics guy on the team...I don't build ROMs....The only reason the 310 gets built, is because i have one....If you can find someone that has the 311 and builds, they are more than welcome to build and maintain Validus though...
[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] Ariesdroid:
OP has been updated...new build is up with working camera,

I also recommend installing "next camera" as it works great on the t310 ...

enjoy!

wifi / data issues

I have a sm-t310 and looking to do a clean/wipe internal install.

I have loaded it up and done a wipe but i'm having connection issues.

Data comes through but no consistantly.

On wifi the play store does not work most of the time or i can't get netflix to work at all. youtube works but rarely get the info through.

I'm using pa gapps 5.0.1rc2 20150125a

and LP-v7.0-2015-01-21

and philz 6 touch recovery

pls help.

ps this is my kids tab and thought i was doing a good thing but now kid can't play....
[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] Ariesdroid:
Sorry you are having these issues. First of all, which tablet do you have? The Lt01wifi does not have DATA. This build is for the SM-t310 WIFI ONLY tablet. Did you create a nandroid backup of whatever you were running before flashing Validus? If you did you can simply go to recovery, wipe and restore. As for your issues you speak of, I'm kind of lost as my tablet is running great and WIFI is working as good as it ever has. If you read the thread before flashing you would of read that Netflix and HBOgo or whatever are still broken. Google movies and Youtube and pretty much everything else does work. If your WIFI isn't working properly i would check your modem at home and restart it. I use my tablet both at home and at my place of business and Wifi works great at both locations.

I also don't ever use pa gapps....I use Banks.....there is a link to the banks gapps in the OP.....The latest are 1/19/15 i believe.

You are also on a older build....the latest build with working camera etc is dated 1/26/15 .....It was just added last night....
[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] argorito:
Hi... just installed this rom and works flawlessly so far. Also new user on this roms, always used stock roms mostly. One question, is it possible to add different users to the tablet? I can't find the place, but for sure it's possible. I'll keep on digging on menu's. Thanks in advance for cooperation.

Enviado desde mi SM-T520 mediante Tapatalk
[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] Ariesdroid:
You shouldn't have to dig... go to settings menu/users ...

*EDIT....sorry i was looking at validus on my phone which has it....gr8nole just added multiuser support to cm12 so the next Validus build will have it....
[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] jrv331:
I don't see it mentioned in the install instructions but do we flash supersu as well?
[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] dparrothead1:
No, it's built in!
[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] Ariesdroid:
OP has been updated with the new build....This build adds multiuser support, lock screen shortcuts, Notification panel tile options and more....As far as i know netflix and hbo are still broken...

If you are coming from the 1/26/15 build you should be able to dirty flash....but if you have issues afterwards, please clean flash first to see if problems persist....

enjoy!
[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] gfraizer:
Impressive

running this as my daily build the last few and having no real problems . netflix signs in but takes forever to load, everything else working fine All Lollipop apps and goodies ( ART only, right?) running stable-fast. Had an issue with FC in settings on first install ( Dirty upgrade over CM ROM). After CLEAN install and Banks Gapps all is good . No Googie Camera; but the included works fine until u try video...more on that later. Really quite impressed with how quickly u guys bring this stuff out.

How to activate double tap to wake on this ROM?
[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] Ariesdroid:
There isnt double tap to wake on the Tab... sorry, its a device specific feature....you can enable double tap to sleep though. Use the screen off app mapped to the double tap gesture in nova launcher ...
[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] mr.itsme:
White UI?

Is it possible to switch to white ui? Thx for reply.

Rom so far is awesome!!
[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] Ariesdroid:
No, sorry....It most likely will be down the road once CM gets the theme engine working properly. But for now, enjoy the darkness. Our devs spent hours and hours theming Validus this time around....So we aren't to worried about themes...
[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] mr.itsme:
Tanks for the fast answer! yes the dark theme does look really good. just wondering ;)
[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] Ariesdroid:
Edit, Build Pulled....I don't want people flashing a tablet build with no screen rotation.....New build COMING SOON!! hang tight.
[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] Ariesdroid:
Ok, I put the build back up as i figured out a work around for the screen rotation fc.... use the validus lcd density changer in the The Void/Display settings and change dpi to 234 for now.... If you want a smaller keyboard install tbo super swiftkey or swiftkey and size your kb smaller.

Please read the whole OP before flashing test builds as im not going to answer questions that are already answered.... We are at work trying to find the solution to the dpi/screen rotation issue as its happening on all our supported tablets... Hopefully it will get resolved sooner than later but for now this build is running nice...

enjoy!
[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] dparrothead1:
Very nice! Being an old man, I like the larger keyboard!!:))). The Theme Engine seems to be working better than it has been.
[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] Ariesdroid:
Yea this build is running amazing...no issues for me...
[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] Ariesdroid:
ON IS UPDATED... new official build 02/26/15

Please the whole OP before flashing....

Enjoy!!
[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] manu12345:
plz make 5.0 available for T311 model also pleaseeeeeee
[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] Ariesdroid:
FInd someone that has it.... to build it and maintain it...we have nobody that can....
[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] kos25k:
Hello and a big thanks for your awesome effort!!I want firstly to ask:Can i flash this rom with full wipe of course,coming from bindroid one 4.2.2 (JB) ? Or will i have to flash a kitkat rom first?

And second: Does screen mirror works??After i rooted my tab i never managed to get it back to work :( If anyone has a wireless stick to test it i would be very thankfull.
[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] Ariesdroid:
Yes you can flash from any android version... The only thing i would make sure you do, is update your recovery to the latest philz touch or twrp as you need a recovery that is capable of flashing lollipop ROMs... they are available in this same development section... I had issues with newer twrp so i am still using Philz from Kk (last summer) and it seems to work fine for me...

as for cast screen /mirroring... I don't think it works, but have never used it on my tab period so I really don't know... I think someone said it does work with chromecast only... but don't quote me on that...

As always, just be sure to run a full nandroid backup in case you need to restore your current setup...
[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] kos25k:
Thank you a lot my friend!Generally the rom goes smoothly?I think from time to time xposed framework will support android 5.0!And also how about battery life???
[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] surf1:
Hmmm not sure whats going on, so redoing it for a 3rd time lol. Couldn't get Banks Apps to show in recovery even though it shows when mounted. But in the rom can't really do anything, keyboard doesn't work (clicking google search bar won't even open it), browser crashes immediately upon opening and says it has stopped. It rebooted a few times. Tried a different clean install with a new download and same issue. See if I can figure this out...., be nice to get this running as this tablet was getting sooooooo slow.

Otherwise the rom seems snappy as hell, way way snappier then stock TW KK which was so laggy and slow

Edit - Ok got it working. Disabled browser as it still crashes every single time. Chrome has crashed a few times and just did when typing this edit. ROM is really smooth and snappy. But battery life is pretty bad vs stock. I also travel a lot and use this to watch movies on. I may have to flash a KK ROM but I'll give it a few days and see.

Thanks for your work!
[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] Ariesdroid:
nothing crashes for me...are you doing a full wipe including system before flashing??

Also banks is just 1 zip...and it only installs google play...you have manually install other gapps once booted....

Also which recovery are you using?? Twrp gave me a bunch of issues...I am still on philz touch from last summer...and all is well..
[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] surf1:
Yeah full wipe and dalvik wipe, Philz as well. Ended up getting Apps to show in folder in recovery, that was weird. Tried a couple fresh downloads and same issues over and over, browser crashing the second it was clicked, the launchers a couple times "stopped working"., and would give other errors like "google apps stopped" etc. I disabled browser and used Chrome and it worked better, though Chrome still crashed a few times. Streamed Pandora for 2 hours and it dropped 25%. The battery drain was really bad, wasn't any different on fresh installs and wipes but that seems to be a Lollipop issues on multiple 5.0 builds on all devices so far.

Had to switch to SlimKat. I liked Validus and the vids I saw on it, but for whatever reason it won't play nice with my Tab
[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] Ariesdroid:
I don't think you understand what i said. You should never see "apps" in recovery period? You just go into philz, do a full wipe (make sure to go into advanced and wipe system as well) then flash ROM zip and FLash Banks Zip......there are no folders to see in recovery except whichever folder you have the rom zip and banks zip in.....flash both zips and reboot....simple as that. I know about 15 people running Validus on the sm t310 and all is well for everyone....I also average about about 7 hours screen on time with over 24 hours use....Battery life is excellent....even better than on my G3 which also runs validus.....
[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] surf1:
No with "Apps" I meant the Google Apps pack (Banks zip). The Banks Zip showed when mounted but in recovery only showed the Rom Zip, but fixed that with a fresh download of each and Banks Zip showed, that was odd lol. Not sure whats up, been rooting and roming for years and you always hear how some run a rom flawlessly and others don't no matter what they try and would always think "well I have no idea what you did mine works fine", but I guess it's finally my turn to have a device that won't co-mingle with a rom for whatever reason lol :p

So far on Slim no issues or drain, weird...... Either way glad theres some stuff for this Tab, gave up on it long ago, couldn't even get it to root on my Mac even through terminal/Heimdal, wouldn't work through virtual system where I run Win7, wouldn't work through bootcamp. Said f' it and gave up, fast forward and finally other day was like let me just see whats going on. Took two tries with Odin but it worked finally on my wifes work laptop. I was ready to chuck it as it was getting so slow and laggy, totally smooth and fast now. No other tablets interest me right now, so waiting to see what gets released maybe around summer.
[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] dparrothead1:
I don't mean to insult you, but I have to ask. Your device is the lt01wifi, is it not?

If it is, I really don't understand because NO one else is experiencing these problems. BTW, did you try gr8nole's CM12? If you did, did you have the same problems?
[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] surf1:
Yeah its the 310 wifi, was going to try his but didn't has honestly not a big cyan fan guy after trying it multiple times over the years on phones and always went back to other roms. I may flash it and see, don't really want to now as I just got the tablet set back up how I want and all my apps lol.

No clue why this wouldn't play well with my tablet even after new downloads and wipes as it seemed smooth and slick and liked what I saw from the vids of this rom on other devices. Just chalk it up to Android quirks lol
[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] surf1:
Ok take that back lol, standby seems to be excellent, but more I used this tablet last few days, the extreme drain is showing on Slimkat as well (maybe even worse). Like this morning I was at 15% and checked facebook and browsed online a bit and it went to 2% in a matter of minutes (but similar drops even when fully charged). Went back to the stock backup, although slow and laggy, no drain in heavy use. I've even left the screen setting for 30 minutes and keep tapping it to wake it up to test, no problem. Went back to slimkat, did same thing and it super drained.

I guess my tab doesn't like roms, blehhh :p
[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] Ariesdroid:
If you do indeed have the sm 310, I have no idea what to tell you... I just had 35h full usage with just under 8 hours screen time on my last run.... All i do for battery stuff is set location to battery saving, i use free greenify and greenify all my apps that can be greenified, I also keep heads up notifications off and most app notifications off.... I'm getting better battery life on this tab build than on my g3 by a long shot

.. wish i could help... there's gotta be something up.... have you ever went back to stock unrooted and redid everything from scratch? or ran an app like sd maid to clean up duplicated files and whatever else.... I would recommend that first and foremost.... sometimes its necessary to get your device running properly again...
[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] surf1:
Yeah its the 310. BBS isn't showing any unusual issues/wakelocks either as in sleep its fine. Like retyping this as Chrome crashed again. Didn't restore from Tibu either, been redownloading apps directly from playstore. But ROMs with nothing downloaded were doing same issues. Never heard of sd maid I'll check that out. Going to reformat the micro as maybe something is corrupt there. Just typing this reply it dropped 5%

Stock TW is fine in regards to battery life, but so laggy and not smooth
[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] xmanz:
Installed this build its almost without issues just a few things. Is there anyway to get tablet to switch on off with cover open/close and maybe battery slow to charge on mains. Thanx. Excellent
[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] Ariesdroid:
No that feature only exists on touchwiz....and yea the charging thing is a known issue that we are looking into but haven't found a fix for yet...
[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] uwannabananababy:
I have had a massive battery drain before on my youngest sons Tab 3 8'" Wifi . It's why I ended up trying pretty well every available ROM-kernel combination at the time it was taking place. The battery would go from 100 to 50 to 15 within a matter of a blink of an eye, if I remember vaguely, I kid not though. Comparible to an Apple, per say, LOL. Worst than those, embarassing I know, since his brothers identical tab3 8 was marathoner. The fix, are you ready for this? Was to remove the back of the tablet and disconnect the battery and reconnect. That's it, instant cure. Mind you it chews up the bezel very slightly and is totally a scary operation. I tried EVERYTHING and also thought for sure it was the Ext-SD or bad USB port or combo of just plain bad apps that kids are lured to. No, it was whatever it was with the battery, I promise you this is your fix you are looking for. P.S. SM-T310 model, been running Team Validus v6.1 and earlier every since, rock solid!
[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] Ariesdroid:
My battery life itself is great....its the charging time that is the issue...my tab lasts 4-5 days on validus lollipop with anywhere from 4 to 7h screentime...
[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] uwannabananababy:
Totally agree with you, I guess this was directed more toward --surf1-- and the battle he seems to be having, so been there, done that.

A fantastic device these are indeed (I maintain 2 of them), when they are healthy and well. Especially when sporting some scary to say the least clown theming. Gave me chills but my 5 year old loved them. Or werewolves.

What I'm saying is I'd get a ROM all nicely set up and running nice and swift, then BAM force close this, force close that. Then the battery Vampires show up and I'm charging more often then a San Diego footballer for the poor lil guy. And not that it was slow to re-energize. I'm serious when I say it dropped 50 percent in front of your eyes, then beep beep 15% warning.

It was the first and nearly brand new device that I thought I had monkeyed enough to have ruined it to the point of scrap. Or like --surf1-- is thinking, just got a dud. I fought the temptation of rooting (not that it was the cause) for like the first 3 days when it was brand new from Santa. I gave in though, who could resist it. But I've never returned or warranty claimed anything ever. The whole voided part wasn't about to help either. So after I near gave up all hope (weeks of battling with it) I took the notion to do as I said, from some video I seen somewhere, may have even been for a Tab3 7" to disconnect the battery and it solved all my woes. Hopefully he reads this and is enough to persuade him to give this a shot, certainly woked for me.

Here possibly.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIi__P86hyA Same basic principle. It was sometime ago now and literally dozens of devices have passed through my hands since. I fix a lot of peoples phones. Call it my curse. ;)
[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] jasvncnt1:
Are you talking about when you open your cover the screen turns on and when you close your cover it shuts off? If so I'm on Slim and that option works fine.
[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] xmanz:
Yes I was. Also does your gps work for you?
[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] jasvncnt1:
Honestly I don't use GPS on my tab. But I can test tonight when I get home.

Edit: yes GPS works for me.
[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] saj2001ind:
how to enable on screen soft navigational bar on this rom ?
[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] :
Add this CODE to system/build.prop and reboot

qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] saj2001ind:
i am running cm11 rom (4.4.4) now on t310...do I need to update some firmware etc to flash this rom or can just do a super wipe and install this rom ?
[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] :
Just do a clean wipe and install ROM+ gapps
[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] saj2001ind:
okay which gapps to flash, I flashed this one (http://fitsnugly.euroskank.com/?rom=banks&device=gapps) and am getting play services stoped all the time.....
[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] :
Use lastest PA gapps
[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] saj2001ind:
Thanks and does this ROM have SD card support

Also can I change back the theme to stock and get rid of black default theme
[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] xmanz:
Thank you. Mine doesn't just doesn't get sats?
[Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Android Development] Ariesdroid:
Yes, it has sd card support.... flash latest pagapps (Op has been updated) as the newest banks have the play services error.... no you cant turn off the stock theme...you can try other themes though but most of the lighter ones wont theme properly because of our dark ui...
