I'm not sure where I'm going wrong. When I include the original update-binary from 2.4.1, the tablet actually locks up as soon as it boots into the flashfire flashing screen. When I include update-binary from [MENTION=4899305]ashyx[/MENTION] 's 2.3.5, flashfire doesn't flash anything (but reinjects SuperSu), and reboots. In either event, when I finally get back to my OS, I'm still on 2.3.5.

Do I need to compile my own binary?

This is a known xposed bug. So if you don't need the xposed app you should not select it in aroma. Because this is causing that error.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] databoy2k:
Shoot. Wanted both xposed and e-mail. Maybe I'll move to a different e-mail client entirely. Thanks for the update.

--Edit-- Got it. Explanation is at http://xdaforums.com/xposed/unofficial-xposed-samsung-lollipop-t3113463/post62640200#post62640200 (as is a fix). Question then: Which core-libart.jar are you using in this rom? #1, 2, or 3? I'll try replacing it in your flash and see if that fixes the issue.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
I have my Microsoft account set up on exchange with the stock email and have no issues at all with Xposed.

However I'm not actually using this rom.

I'm using xposed v65 and 3.0 alpha4
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] databoy2k:
So just in case anyone else has the same issue, yes, there's been a fix for the xposed implementation at the link above. core-libart2.jar is the one that IronRom uses. You can probably implement it as described in that thread (pushing it to the right folder and changing r/w permissions) or update the xposed.zip in the flash for IronRom 2.4.1 (all that you need to do is copy the core-libart2.jar into the correct folder). Apparently the xposed dev won't have time to work on the update until later this month, so if you're like me and need both that's the fix. I can attest that it works.

Smooth rom but with some issues.

A brief review of IromRom v.2.4.1 for T805

Firstly, thank you for the rom. One of the very few working roms available for T805.

Here are some of the issues I am facing while using this rom. I did a clean install. I chose all S2 apps.

1. Phone: Phone app crashes after dialing number. Call goes through but immediately gives error "Unfortunately, Phone has stopped". On clicking "Ok" Call is disconnected. Same for incoming call.

1a. Phone dialer log shows that incoming call rejected.

1b. Get "number busy" when called in and call is disconnected after Phone app crashes.

1c. Phone dialer ocupies dispproportinate amount of space on screen. Nearly 65% screen occupied

2. Contacts: Contacts crashes from Settings menu. (but Settings in Contacts appmis Ok).

3. RAM use is higher than original stock rom (it seems). Dont have figures for comparison.

4. Music: Sounflive crashes on making equilizer settings, using presets.

4a. "Sounflive has stopped" message on evey boot. This happed after the first time Soundlive crashed.

5. Memo app crashes on clicking "Create Memo".

6. Audio volume is too low, almost 50% of original stock rom even at top volume (15).

COMMENTS:

7. Data network is working fine.

8. Speed and smoothness is fine.

9. Love the ability to choose theme during installation.

10. Too many steps for choosing each app during installation.

11. Love Appops integration. However, cannot see or modify "send sms without user authentication" permission.

12. Love Smart Manager integration.

13. Battery usage seems fine. At par with stock rom. Not sure if it is better. Need to test.

14. Inuilt adblock does not work. Popups not blocked. Ads not blocked. I had to install adaway.

15. Like that xposed is finally working here.

16. Finally, installation was a breeze and fun.

THANK YOU again for this wonderful working tweaked rom.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tkkg1994:
Nice review!

For your 1 and 2 point: if you choose tab s contacts/phone you wont get any of this mentionend errors. Contacts will open in settings, call will work etc. I did not know that call does not work (never made a single call) can you give me a logcat with the error? Thanks!

3. Higher ram = better. Linux based operating systems are better with lot of ram used. Means the tablet will work faster

4. You mean sound alive in the music app? Because this works floweless for me.

5. Also noticed that

6. Kernel settings: make it louder.

10. If I don't do this, all people complain about that they can't choose...

11. This is googles app ops. I did just unlock it. The settings are given by google

14. I did not enable it in V2.4.1 but will add it back in next releases

Does IronRom allow you to encrypt your system partition and SD card, as the stock ROM does?

Not 100% sure, but I don't think any deodexed rom will allow encryption.

Problem with keyboard

Hey everybody.

First of all i want to say congratulations to the developer of this amazing rom- kernel package. After the lollipop update i experienced some big lags in the performance so really thanks.

I have only one problem so if you can help me i will own you one.

So.. after flashing the new rom the predictive text is not working at all. Not a single word. I tried to sync it with fb, gmail and twitter but no luck. Also i downloaded another keyboard app from the market and worked great but i dont like the feeling. As you can understand i preffer the stock experience.

Is there anything else that i could do?

I tried also the stock, note and the s2 keyboard during the installation.

Thank you in advance.

Huge respect on your work from Greece

Thank you for you fast response! As i mentioned before i went with the swype sollution but in my opinion it feels cheap. To be honest though the swype keyboard is a very good app and comes with a lot of benefits as you already said.

This is kind of a dumb question, but I don't have a lot of experience flashing new bootloaders. I assume I need the new bootloader with the new version of IronRom? I assume I flash it first in Odin? Does flashing a bootloader wipe everything?

Today I have updated to Kernel v.2.5. Will report if any issues. Otherwise the rom has been smooth and no issues from my previous review. Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dgmorland:
Here are the instructions on the OP. In step 2 it asks if you are on Lollipop - if not, flash stock firmware with Odin. I already have stock lollipop firmware.

In step 3, it only says to install TWRP recovery if you dont have recovery. Booting into recovery mode in stock ROM I had the option to install from External SD card.

Are these instructions wrong? ie is it mandatory to install TWRP or other non-standard recovery?

1. Download the rom and put it on your tab/sd card

2. Are you already on lollipop? If yes, no need to do anything here, if no:

- Flash stock firmware with odin, follow the instructions here:XDA Lollipop Link

- If Odin fails, flash TWRP recovery from here: TWRP Recovery

- This steps are important, to get the lollipop bootloader!

3. NEXT STEP FOR ALL USERS: Enter your recovery (if you don't have one, it is time now to install this one here: TWRP)

4. Make a nandroid backup/backup of your apps

5. Wipe everything off your tab

6. Install the new IronRom

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
The basic problem here is, as is ALWAYS the problem, is lack of knowledge AND research.

You cannot flash anything custom with stock recovery.

Stock recovery requires the files to be signed by Samsung.

Unsigned custom files simply will NOT flash.

Its pointless even harping on about it.

It is a golden rule that BEFORE undertaking ANY operation, that will modify your device, that you install a CUSTOM recovery and make a full backup first.

Basically you need to install TWRP.

Iron ROM and Corporate 365 Account Sync Problem

Symptom is that I can get email from my corporate office 365 account but I cant see my calendar or contact information. I dont fully understand yet if this is a Lollipop problem, a Samsung problem, an IronROM problem, a poor choice of apps on my part, or incorrect setup; any pointers or good questions that will help me figure out just where my problem is appreciated. Or very happy to hear of a configuration that “just worked”.

I am running IR 2.4.1 on an SM T800 and selected these options during install:

Iron kernel, Smart manager, Xposed, Stock keyboard, No weather, No music app, Smartmanager, Normal gallery, Normal File manager, Normal clock, No browser, No video player, Stock theme, Stock calculator, Stock calendar, Stock contacts, No email, Normal launcher, normal wallpaper, No Samsung Apps, Google Maps & Movies.

The email client I am using is an ASUS app and I have set that up in two different ways -

1. Settings > Accounts > Email > Exchange etc, tick the boxes for syncing smail, calendar, contacts. Setting up to recieve email from both corporate (365) and personal (imap) acounts seems to work fine. However, none of my 365 calendar or contacts information appears and there is no corresponding account added to the list in Settings > General > Accounts - only my Google account shows.

2. Settings > Accounts > Corporate, then all as 1 above and symptoms seem identical.

Attempts to understand / fix have included looking at several things:

1. External threads suggests that the problem is not caused by Lollipop:

2.There seems to be a mixed experience with Samsung, Lollipop and email clients, but I have not actually tried changing clients yet (external threads omitted)

All replies appreciated.

Handwriting Issues Anyone? - [SOLVED]

Really enjoying this ROM now, and the tab s, but seem to be having a couple of keyboard issues. Symptoms are that a) the T[pen] icon used to select the handwriting keyboard mode is missing b) the swype / swiftkey mode selected through settings also doesn't work (the snail trail appears but no text is generated). Current setup is IR 2.4.5; the handwriting function

did

work on my earlier 2.4.1 install; didn't try swiftkey.

Configuration details:

Regular install on SM T800, of IR 2.4.5 (from IR 2.4.1)

AROMA Options: Iron kernel, Xposed, Stock keyboard, No weather, No music app, No Smartmanager, Normal gallery, Normal File manager, Normal clock, No browser, No video player, Black theme, Stock calculator, Stock calendar, Stock contacts, Stock email, Normal launcher, normal wallpaper, No Samsung Apps, Google Maps & Movies

Searching around, I have found a copy of the keyboard apk from a tab s (8.4) but installing system apps and figuring out if there are library requirements is beyond my comfort zone - if there isnt another way forward I will probably just go back to IR 2.4.1

I would be very interested to hear from anybody who has handwriting or swiftkey keyboard modes working on 2.4.5 and if some fix was needed to do that.

All questions and comments appreciated.

Chris

EDIT

I was still looking for a possible fix for this issue when, for whatever reason, I pressed the keyboard mode selection button and up came the handwriting option :confused: Honestly, I had tried this before posting and it just wasnt there, yet now it is. A few apps have been updated since posting but I dont think anything new was installed so "the fix" seems to be about the passage of time.

I need to know the next steps to successfully install ironrom from here. The things i have tried are:

run flashfire

installed "T800XXU1BOE3_T800XAR1BOC5_HOME.tar.md5" firmware using it and rebooted in download mode.

opened Odin and installed the bootloader: "BL_T800XXU1BOE3_CL4993066_QB5086590_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5"

download t800 ironrom 2.4.5

replace android folder in this location "IronRom V2.4.5 T800.zip\META-INF\com\google\android" as per (http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-tab-s/development/prerooted-stock-touchwiz-rom-t2973107)

So my folder now only has these two files in it: update-binary and updater-script

remove boot. ini from this location "IronRom V2.4.5 T800.zip\Iron\Kernel\IronKernel"

and this location "IronRom V2.4.5 T800.zip\Iron\Kernel\Stock"

copied this to the sd card on the device

opened flashfire and flashed ironrom using the ZIP/ota option

when the tab reboots it gets stuck at the animated samsung logo. I cant get it to work. I have read all the forums and cant find an answer. I have never used android before.

I have also tried the above with the latest stock firmware: T800XXU1BOJ1_T800XAR1BOJ1_HOME.tar.md5 and the bootloader "BL_T800XXU1BOE3_CL4993066_QB5086590_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5" but the result is no different.
