.::JazzROM For Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 (5.1.1) [SM-T330NU]::.

(Fully Deodexed, KNOXless, Pre-rooted, Xposed ready, Stock Base 5.1.1 Touchwiz ROM)

"To all devs: you're not allowed to take files from my ROM without my permissions!"

.::IMPORTANT PLEASE READ THIS FIRST!::.

First: Before you start questioning and posting here, please do understand that you need to carefully read all these instruction below, not just first post (OP), but following several posts (#2,#3, #4, etc.) these posts are also part of this OP post. It is very very critical to read and have clear understanding how version of this ROM works, and how it can be customized, failure to not read all the instructions and not able to follow, you will get lost, most likely you will soft-brick your device.

Second: This is fully deodexed, pre-rooted with SuperSU included, KNOXless Stock Touchwiz ROM. If you looking for debloated 5.1.1 ROM, you may check [MENTION=5501022]Zaphodspeaks[/MENTION] 's ROM thread for debloated Stock Touchwiz 5.1.1 ROM if that's your thing. This ROM comes several ported apps from Galaxy Tab S2 and Galaxy Tab A. All these apps ported from their lollipop firmwares, ported, re-sized to fit our screen, and done many modifications all the way down to app smali files.

And lastly: Just because I put out a ROM here in Galaxy Tab 4 ROM thread, it does NOT mean I am your full-time tech support. Remember that this is provided as free of use, and if you are taking a custom ROM, Devs assume that you know what you are doing and have basic knowledge of doing so. Needless to say, if your tablet still under warranty, flashing custom ROMs voids your warranty. XDA is community driven forum, if you stuck, you can always ask here, and also using search box in XDA is your best friend.

Now the fun part:p

.::SCREENSHOTS::.

Here are some screenshots, these are just samples to give you an idea how this ROM looks and also to show you some new features.

, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

.::INSTALL INSTRUCTION (CLEAN INSTALL)::.

Even if you are on V2.1, For V3.X, Full Wipe is still OBLIGATORY for proper installation!

No dirty flash over v2.1!!

*Warning!: You need to follow these instruction step by step, if you do NOT, you will have problem!*

1. First thing first; Have you made full nandroid backup yet? if not, this is very good time to do it now.

2. Download JazzROM For Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 (5.1.1) [SM-T330NU] to your device's internal or microSD card that you can easily find it for flashing later on.

3. Reboot into PhilzTouch CWM Recovery

4. Do Factory Reset first in PhilzTouch recovery, and then also do the " install new ROM" option in PhilzTouch Recovery.

5. Go back and do Wipe Cache and also do Wipe Dalvik/Art too in PhilzTouch recovery - just to be safe side.

6. Flash JazzROM For Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 (5.1.1) [SM-T330NU] ROM, and once it is done, click back key in recovery, and select reboot your system.

8. This is lollipop - first reboot seems like taking forever, but be patient here, you have to wait 15 min to 20 mins.

9. After it finishes the reboot, you may go thru your normal tablet setup (wifi, google account, Samsung account, time setup, etc).

10. After you done with step 9, you can now jump to next posts (post#2, 3, etc) below for additional setup and customization of the JazzROM.

.::KNOWN ISSUES/LIMITATIONS::.

This ROM is quite stable for daily drive, but like all custom ROMs, there's always some small issues and limitations, which I am NOT considering as big showstoppers:

Smart Manager works perfectly fine, but when you check storage and ram detail button in the app, it FCs, the reason is that this is from Tab S2 port, which is still based on 5.0.2, thus looking for 5.0.2 settings activities and our device is 5.1.1. Once 5.1.1 firmware available for Tab S2/Tab A, I will back ported our device again. So expect a fix for it - Fixed.

ToolBox has 12 apps limitation, that's how many apps you can able to add, and it is limited. Do not try to add more than, that it will crash your tablet. This is NOT a bug, just limitation of ToolBox.

As mentioned above, some ported apps you may see some little cosmetic imperfection in these ported apps, but consider that ported apps has 4:3 aspect screen ratio (Tab S2 / Tab A), while this tablet has 16:9 aspect screen ratio, so every effort being made to make it fit our tablet screen.

TouchWiz Launcher's A-Z option sorting is not included in original app (go check it out on Galaxy Tab A's and you will see it does not have A-Z sorting), Samsung decided to enable A-Z sorting in some of newest TouchWiz Home launcher, while it disabled in some others. So I went ahead and modified launcher.smali file to enable it. A-Z option for sorting works fine, but if you keep trying several times, it may not sort it correctly on landscape. Before you start asking that, remember that even Samsung disabled this feature, so don't complain it, take it as it is.

.::WHAT NOT TO EXPECT::.

Frequent updates.

Fancy Aramo installations (who got time for it!?).

Bugs free experiences.

Problems will be solved quickly/ultimately.

Individual/feature requests (I will listen, but no promise).
