dont forget you have to root your device FIRST; then you install a custom recovery like TWRP, then you do a backup of your original rom, THEN you can start experimenting with other roms..

so its ROOT, Install a Custom RECOVERY, BACKUP, using the TWRP recovery you flashed, then you can flash other stuff

thread on rooting, in case you dont know how

Why root first? Can't odin flash the recovery without it?
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Original Android De] wase4711:
because once you are rooted, it makes doing everything else alot easier

for example, if you are rooted, you can install an app from the app store called flashify, which allows you to install install a custom recovery, kernel, and other things..

and, on many devices, you can not flash a custom recovery in Odin if you arent rooted first, so might as well do it right away, and every thing else will just work
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Original Android De] KarlDag:
OK, but you don't need it first if you use Odin... Let's not confuse the guy more than he already is lol
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Original Android De] Ulieq:
Just to be clear, am I putting the twrp recovery files on a SD card or on the device?
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Original Android De] wase4711:
TWRP install itself on your device, but you can store your backups on the external card..they will be pretty large, so I prefer them on the external card

---------- Post added at 10:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:30 AM ----------

you dont need root to use Odin, but you may not be able to install twrp if you aren't rooted first, thats why I ALWAYS root first, just to make sure
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Original Android De] nk33:
You dont have to root to get custom recovery… odin will push it to your device.

The most you have to do is unlock bootloader if it comes locked on your device
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Original Android De] wase4711:
so, why would you even want an unlocked bootloader, and a custom recovery, without root?
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Original Android De] KarlDag:
Because you'll lose root when you wipe and reflash anyway... And your new rom probably comes pre rooted... There is just no need to root first
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Original Android De] wase4711:
HUH?

I wipe every time between flashing roms and NEVER lose root by wiping...
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Original Android De] KarlDag:
Because roms come prerooted

Plus, that's exactly what I said. Doesn't matter if you root first, it will be rooted when you flash
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Original Android De] nk33:
This argument is so hillarious because it all depends on what you do first.

If you have just bought a device and want CM… it goes

Unlock bootloader (if necessary for your device

Flash recovery

Wipe

Install cm from recovery

Install gapps from recovery

Cm prerooted. Job done
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Original Android De] wase4711:
well, maybe some versions of cm come that way, but not EVERY version does, and, there are 100's of other roms out there that do not come pre rooted, so, if you arent rooted and try to flash a rom that is not "pre rooted" its a no go. So to me, getting root done first thing, is the key to long term, successful flashing. Not being rooted, and flashing something that requires root, can cause big trouble, especially for N00bs, which the guy asking about this most definately is..
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Original Android De] nk33:
Ok… good point… but a bit of a useless point when you look at the forum we are on… have you read the tite?

I did not have a microSD with me so everything was installed on the internal sd. I don't think that can be the cause.

Anyway, i installed temasek unofficial ROM and the responsiveness during installation increase greatly. But rich content on Quora and Facebook and boat browser cause mich more lag and the cpu temp was much higher.

During a normal browsing session the thing was freezed and for a few hour i thought i have officially acquired hard brick achievement after only 1 week. Really get me scared. Any advice for a stable rom would be much appreciated.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Original Android De] razholio:
No, it's not a good point. It's a moot point because your 'root' lives on the system partition which will be wiped completely when you install a new rom of any kind, thus losing that root. All cm Roms allow root. The only reason to root the stock rom is if you plan to back it up prior to flashing a new rom. This way your stock rom is already rooted when you restore that backup. The only other reason to root first is to use Flashify to flash the recovery instead of Odin.

Morning Folks,

Just curious, did the benchmarks change with the change to Lollipop? What geekbench scores are you getting on CM 12.1 Galaxy Pro 8.4 wifi? Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Original Android De] razholio:
I'm sorry to hear that and appreciate your report. I'm on CM11 M12 and very happy with performance. I was considering an upgrade to Cm12.1, but will wait a bit longer for things to develop. Thanks
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Original Android De] palmbeach05:
Regular CM12.1 is developed and ok to upgrade to. The member you quoted was referring to a combo'd CM12.1 from a team that is new to releasing and building ROMs. Stick with a well k own team for that or stay with the official builds from CM and you'll be fine.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Original Android De] razholio:
Well, thanks even more, then. I didn't realize it was a different rom. I'll probably upgrade at the first milestone.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Original Android De] rholm:

[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Original Android De] llapao:
So you are suggesting another rom naming it "better" without even trying this one? a BIG LOL to you.

So you are trying new roms to "fix" [...] facebook issues? a even BIGGER LOL !

This is by far the most stable and most dedicated and most performant rom for Tab Pro 8.4. After you flash it thank the DEV by donating, maybe our beloved DEV would cook a rom with Android M ;)

Thanks [MENTION=3857343]crpalmer[/MENTION] :)
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Original Android De] Ulieq:
It's unclear.

Open up TWRP Manager

Click Classic Backup (lick backup now within)

It reboots into recover, and gives a list of options, none of which is CREATE BACKUP.

options:

-Reboot System

-Apply Update from ADB

-Apply Update from External Storage

-Wipe Data/Factory Reset

-Wipe Cache Partition

-Apply Update from Cache.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Original Android De] KarlDag:
I'm sorry, I don't use twrp manager, but clearly you're doing something wrong/unlike me. Just reboot into recovery (there is an easy button for the inside flashify app, or rom manager app). On the first screen inside the recovery there should be an install button, a backup one, a restore one, and others (going off the top of your head). If you don't see this, try pressing the home button at the bottom maybe?

Keep it up guys

Can i install this on Samsung tab pro 12.2?
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Original Android De] arrrghhh:
No!

That is a very different SoC. If you have the wifi version, this is the SM-T900. The LTE variant is the 905. I assume you have the wifi version, which uses an Exynos 5420 instead of the Qcom chip used in the 320.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Original Android De] moophat:
For the record, i have used their ROM when upgrading for a couple of my friend's device. tab and phone included before. So i suggest you read a little bit more before trying to show off.

Then again, the reason i tried it out was because the original in this very thread seem not stable enough for me, as reported in the previous posts. Again, i suggest you read other's post a little bit more carefully before trying to make your claim.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Original Android De] KarlDag:
This rom is very very stable. Might be bugs here and there in the nightlies, but that's going to be in any rom based on those nightlies, nothing that can be blamed on the dev.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Original Android De] moophat:
It strange you can think that I, or anyone else reporting their problem here equal "blaming the dev". That mindset is just unnecessary fear ,I'm afraid.

People try something which was supposed to be stable and suit their taste. If it work and meet my needs, my appreciation goes to the creator (most of the time i just click the button)- if it do NOT, which turn out to be the case right here, an average user simply need a fix, a work around or simply another options that might just work, period. Not many people would desperately try to find out whose fault is that, if it's a junior in the team making some mistake somewhere or a problem with the design, or sometime really just their own silly error. And as you see, i did reported my installation step briefly when asked, in case someone can point out it was my own fault somewhere, thus i can fix it myself.

From my experience, most of the people i know who handled me their device for upgrading/tweaking couldn't care less about what is CyanogenMod or what is root and kernel. I myself simply addressing my own problems from a non-geek user's perspective. Nobody really have the time to blaming these thing on anyone or making things up, so please don't worry about that..

Reboot directly into TWRP, dont use the Manager
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Original Android De] KarlDag:
Well that's exactly what I'm saying. Don't come here and say that this rom is unstable if you're a self proclaimed non geek and don't know about the differences between the main cyanogenmod team, the dev of this rom, the other possible versions of CM12.1 put together by another team, etc.

I don't want to sound like an arrogant ass, but I'm sure that's how it will read out on your end. All I'm trying to say is that commenting like you did on stuff you admit you don't understand and/or care about is... Non productive.

That said, no point in arguing this further. Have a good evening (or day).
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Original Android De] palmbeach05:
Thats how it came across to me too. Yes, CM12.1 is stable with a bug or two that pops up in the nightlies (an M release has not been made yet (M13 maybe?)). So this is straight from CM. As stated, the other build is made by a team. It takes CM and other big name team's work and merges it into one. Do i support this thinking? Yes, but the dev should have linked up with one of the big name teams for better building (i.e. Carbon, LiquidSmooth, etc). The reason i say that is those teams have been around for a bit, they have experience on multiple android versions. I fully support anyone who goes out and builds a ROM successfully for a device, so i'm not trying to shoot down the dev's of the other ROM at all by saying what i'm saying.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Original Android De] rholm:
I am seeing the same massive slowdowns with this ROM as with every other cm 12.1 based ROM. I'm not doing anything too different than what I imagine others are doing. I use Feedly and Facebook to share links to Chrome/Dolphin and Pocket. When I do this, the tablet becomes unusable. It just seems to lock up. If I press the hardware home button or turn it off, it will usually respond minutes later, sometimes with all or the app I was using killed. I have a few logs and will post them shortly.

Does anyone else see this? When this is not happening the tablet is flawless.

I am currently back to using Temasek from 06/04 as the problem exists there but to a much lesser extent on that ROM.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I can sent my logs soon.

Rich
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Original Android De] neodata686:
I had the exact same problem and tracked it down to a memory leak / bug in Lux Auto Brightness. It was causing all sorts of freezes and stuff. I think a lot of the problems people run into in here can be attributed to app bugs and not necessarily issues with the rom. My suggestion is to install the rom vanilla and see if the problem persists then start installing programs to track down your specific issue.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Original Android De] llapao:
Are you using multiple profiles? Are you using some kind of ram management app? Have you already made a full wipe and installed just Feedly and facebook for testing purposes?

I use all the mentioned apps with no issues at all. Sometimes if Facebook isn't' already loaded it will take longer to post from feedly to facebook, but just that...
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Original Android De] Ulieq:
Two more questions:

What is recovery? Is it a program?

What does unlock bootloader mean? I rooted, is that the same thing?

What does wipe mean and how do I do it?
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Original Android De] KarlDag:
Long story short, recovery is a bit like the bios on your computer. That's where you'll load your phone to wipe it and install a new rom.

Wiping is sort of like a fast format on your PCs hard drive.

Unlock bootloader isn't like root. Root allows you to run more "low level" apps. Sort of like "run as administrator" in windows. Unlocked bootloader allows you to flash a new rom. If it's locked, you can't... (except certain workarounds on certain phones).
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Original Android De] Ulieq:
What do I need to do to unlock the Galaxy tab pro 8.4 bootloader?
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Original Android De] KarlDag:
Because otherwise you can't flash a rom :) some sort of control manufacturers like to keep, not sure why... Just the way it is.

---------- Post added at 11:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:22 PM ----------

Edit just re-read your post... Can't help you with this one, first time I did that and it was a while ago... I think it's through Odin, or adb. Search the forums. Probably you'll find it at the beginning of the thread for cm11.

Sorry.

Ok so you're complaining over a backup? Typical phone backups are 1.5 GB and up. My stock backup is about that size too.

Step 1 - root

Step 2 - install custom recovery (twrp)

Step 3 - backup current ROM

Step 4 - wipe data, cache

Step 5 - flash ROM

Step 6 - flash gapps

Step 7 - reboot

Step 8 - enjoy!

These are the basic steps since android 2.3 and have been outlined in their corresponding threads (rooting, flashing custom recovery, flashing ROM). Why are you having such a hard time?
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Original Android De] KarlDag:
Move the backup to a computer when you're done flashing... Or your sd card.
