T800 here - it works! I did not have to use the gapps-mm-fix.zip with your new build. The Setup Wizard was definitely a bit wonky (kept getting a loop asking to restore my device from a different device), but I eventually got through. The internal browser is also no longer force closing. I still have the corrupt SD card but, like you said, this is likely due to it being the wrong formatted partition. I will format it with the device and edit this post in a bit.

Thanks so much for your hard work! I am currently downloading all my apps from the Google Play Store now. :good::good:

Edit: Confirmed I had my SD card formatted as exFat, hence the "corruption" notification. Copying my files off then will let the tablet re-format it. Will report back.

---------- Post added at 06:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:17 PM ----------

So, I let the Android OS format it and it still is saying it is corrupted. I connected the SD card to a windows machine, and it is saying it is formatted as FAT32 and having no issues. So yes, it seems like the SD card, at least on the T800, is still broken. :( FWIW, I have a 128GB SDXC in there.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] meamme123:
Here's how trying to flash on T700 went:

Wiped existing Android (System, Data, Cache and dalvik)

flashing the zip:

1st time: flashing went for a minute, then failed with: "E:Error executing updater binary in zip '/external_sd/flash/aosp-eng.ubuntu.20151102.203347.zip'

2nd time: fully flashed, no error, when given option to reboot, it says "No OS installed"

3rd time: same as second.

Hopefully this can be worked out

edit: when tried to reboot after flashing 3 times, it was stuck on the "Samsung" screen.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] BallCity:
The "Error executing updater binary" has happened a lot to me, and hasn't seemed to matter. If you get this, simply flash again, and you should be good. The "No OS installed" error also happens - you can ignore that and reboot anyway - there IS an OS that it doesn't see for some reason. You will also see this if you flash the GAPPS - first time it will say no OS, second time it will flash fine.

So yeah, just ignore the No OS prompt and it should boot anyway.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] meamme123:
The thing is, when i tried to reboot it was stuck on the samsung logo.

I can always try again, I just can't right now because I'm busy but I'll try in a few hours
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] jollywhitefoot:
I hate to be "that" guy, but how long should it take on the boot animation on first boot? I didn't get any installation errors but it's been on the animation for about 30 minutes now, which seems too long. T800. Thanks
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] BallCity:
Yeah that's wat too long. Should be like 5 minutes at most for first boot?
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] jollywhitefoot:
Figured. Just thought I'd check while I procrastinate going to fire up my laptop

T800: my experience with the newest build was pretty much same as yours. Camera & ext. SD card don't work. Other things seem to work fine.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] Bushcrafter:
+1 on the sd card. Im also using a 128GB scandisc micro sdcard. I also have tried lexar and samsung sd cards and they do not work either. :( FAT32 does not work.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] Laykun:
Similar experience. Although I restarted after step one and got to the boot loop animation. I had come from Blisspop 4.0, did wipe of data/system/caches and flashed this with no gapps or supersu. Now after any subsequent flash I get stuck on the samsung logo and TWRP tells me there's no OS installed. T800, TWRP 2.8.7.2.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] solidsnake02:
Same here. I was pretty excited when I first noticed this ROM being developed for the T805. I decided to dive in deep last night on my T800 and I thought I should share my experience so far. Also, I've noticed similar issues from other users.

Initially, I had all the needed zip files to get this going so I proceeded to my recovery and began the wiping process. I failed to remember that I had the f2fs file system in place from my SlimLP. I got stuck in boot at the Samsung Galaxy Tab S logo. I proceeded to reformat my system to ext4 and reflashed all files. From there the same thing occurred. Stuck on the boot logo. I couldn't get my tablet to boot into download, or recovery anymore. I then plugged it in to my computer and tried again and somehow it pulled up in download mode. Thinking maybe I ignored a step, I happened across one key component of this that will get you stuck if you don't pay attention. Even though I had LP 5.1 on my tablet, I had never updated the bootloader. I took the newest bootloader from the General area of the xda forum and flashed it in Odin. After that the new MM boot animation began and quickly I was at setup.

After setup got me onto my wifi, I got what everyone else did. Google Play FC. I did more digging on xda and found a Nexus 6 Rom where someone mentioned a fix for gapps. That didn't work either, same FC each time. I reflashed everything and then did both gapps, but still no way to get through setup.

Today at work just prior to getting off I looked at the thread again to see a new build. I got home and immediately flashed it with both the gapps and the thing is working! I'm going to test it over the next couple days and see how it operates. So far I'm noticing some sluggishness, where SlimLP was the fastest ROM I've used so far on this device. SD does not work, like Dnorris55 and BallCity have mentioned. Shows corrupt and after attempting to format you get the same notification. Camera also not working. I'll keep checking more, but I'll give it a chance to improve over the next few days prior to going on vacation. If I don't at least have SD card support by then I'll have to go back to SlimLP for a bit until these things get fixed.

Overall, really pleased that 6.0 is getting implemented and since this is still in alpha I'm sure it will be much better with a bit of time. Most important was just getting it up and running at this point. I can't wait to see how this progresses. Thanks for the hard work on this!
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] Dnorris55:
Got today's T800 build working. StageFright test fails all but one.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] sushiguy732:
For the T700 - The prerequisites say to flash the stock 5.1 but there is no 5.1 for this model. What do I flash instead, the 5.0.2. before I update to this 6.0 rom?
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] jollywhitefoot:
This is my problem too. Can you link to the post with the bootloader you used? I found this thread in general, but the files in the OP seem old. http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/t800-t805-lollipop-bootloaders-t3099362

[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] ¿GotJazz?:
Feeling kinda sporty today ... If I wanted to try F2FS with this ROM, which partitions should I be converting (or, not converting)? Does the External uSD card get F2FS as well?

Will I be facing any incompatibility issues if I convert to F2FS?

Thanks,

¿GJ?
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] gscollier:
If you format SD as internal it is already f2fs, no choice in the matter. I tried f2fs when I was on IronRom, there really is no noticeable speed gain. You would do cache, on other ROMs internal as well - not sure a with this one.

People say they notice a difference but I think they are fooling themselves. This ROM is so smooth you will not get any benefit. But don't take my word for it!

[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] touchee:
Been running this for several weeks on a T800 and very pleased with it. But I find the volume won't go loud enough on many YouTube videos. Is there some hack (eg alter some values in mixerpaths) that can be done to increase the speaker volume please?
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] :
I'm really happy to read this! Performance gain by f2fs is mainly placebo. A trimmed ext4 is as fast as f2fs on write. There's no difference on read. If an ext4 is used by 90% or more and trim can't free whole blocks any longer the performace is droping dramatically - this performance decrease on f2fs kicks in much later. Theorethicaly f2fs should use less battery, 'cause the trimming is done on the fly, while ext4 uses an external program (fstrim). But it's so marginal, that I don't belive someone is able to notice. I don't know, if wearing of flashmemory (and therfore lifetime) is different.

---------- Post added at 10:46 ---------- Previous post was at 10:41 ----------

You can play with mixer_paths.xml: https://github.com/nvertigo/android...mmit/5afbd1e2a0babf8905ec7c4500b35784cdfdf3a4

But be carefull: I'm sure you can break speakers, when pushing too far!!!!
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] touchee:
Yep that seems to do it. Used the following, and that seems much better. Thanks. :-

<ctl name="Speaker Digital Volume" value="145" />

<ctl name="SPKOUTL Input 1 Volume" value="45" />

<ctl name="SPKOUTR Input 1 Volume" value="45" />
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] borice91:
Thanks for all this work and this thread guys.

I successfully flashed this rom on my Tab S.

But I have a problem. Whatever I do, I end with the Play Store service unusable ("Unfortunately Google Play Services Has Stopped" message).

I tried serveral times the whole flashing process. I tried with differents Gapps (OpenGapps : ARM / 6.0) nano & mini & full. Same issue. I tried with the Gapps from the OP link (the one marked "GApps for Marshmallow (deprecated)").

I saw people said on this thread that the issue was linked to SuperSu. So I tried multiple times. Flashing ther one bundled with TWRP, flashing the 2.50 Beta provided from Op post via TWRP and I also tried to not flash / install SuperSu. Always end with the Play Store problem...

Fortunetly, you can skip the android setup wizard (If you are "stuck" in the setup wizard, after you set your wifi and have the Play Store message, you can just "forget" your wifi network, go back then you can skip the setup again).

But without Play Store, I can't install anything, can't update anything and a lot of Google apps require to setup/login via Play Store so you can't use them...

Looking forward for a solution.

Thanks guys.

Thanks I will try it now.

By the way I'm on T800.

What Open Gapps is correct by the way (just to be sure). Is that correct : ARM & 6.0 ? Then whatever variant I choose, all should work, right ? I used ARM, 6.0, mini.

---------- Post added at 02:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:47 PM ----------

Nice Kholargol ! I don't know why but it worked ! (I was pretty sure it wouldn't since your steps are just twice the same thing... but I tried and it worked this time.)

Note : At the second boot, I got the message/process of "Optimizing apps x on y" when you first start an Android device (after wiping dalvik+cache ?). Maybe this process did the trick with the Play Store app...

Thanks a lot Kholargol.

Also, anyone knows if it's normal to have the backlight of the apps/back buttons ALWAYS switched on ? It's kind of annoying, I would like to disable it. How can I do it ?
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] 3DSammy:
Install Viper4Android for increased gain (volume) and much more. It works well under Marshmallow. As far as I'm concerned it is the number one reason I need to root my android devices. I'm fairly sure I've seen V4A mentioned in this thread.

[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] Killa357:
I hope I'm not adding some excessive redundancy here, but I thought I'd share my problems and solutions in case anyone else had a similar issue. This is with the T800.

Initially, I did not flash the new bootloader as I assumed that because I was running Lollipop stock that it would work. It didn't. If you made this mistake and get stuck on a boot screen, press home volume down and power until the screen goes off. Now, you have two options here. Allow the device to go into download mode and use Odin to flash the new bootloader, which worked for me, install a stock rom, or very quickly as soon as the screen goes black press home volume up and power to go into your recovery to restore your previous backup. Your timing has to be precise to do this.

Second problem. Google force closes as soon as I try to pass the account screen. You can skip adding WiFi and setting up an account, but as soon as you try to enter you account later on it will FC again. Some people had luck rebooting and clearing cache and dalvik. This didn't work for me. I had to clear dalvik and cache in between each zip file, while otherwise following the original instructions (including rebooting recovery after flashing the rom to make sure gapps works.)

After this it all worked out for me. Sorry about the long winded post, hopefully it helps someone though.

[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] Snow000man:
I installed it just after the release of the 12/12 version. I had noticed this issue a few weeks ago. I was trying to search for other networks in my area because I am considering to change service provider. Steps mentioned in OP were followed. [I had installed previous versions of Schichu's rom, so I came from 08/12 version. I have benzo gapps installed and they work with occassional error popups but I have no issues with that as I dont use gapps. I am planning to do a clean install.

I also have heating issues with 12/12 rom. Heating occurs around the camera on back and front.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] hexavoodoomal:
Is the radio connecting to your provider?
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] Snow000man:
Yes it is [sorry, forgot to mention that]. Mobile data is working as well. only search for other networks turns empty. There are four other networks around [my phone can see all of them and I have an unofficial MM rom on it].
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] hexavoodoomal:
OK, that's new to me tbh. I have had to wait upwards of 3 or 4 mins sometimes for the search to return results before, but I presume you've waited longer than that in this case. The only think I can think of, and again I'm not experienced with this problem, is that the ROM may have used the Korean CSC and the networks aren't seeing you as a result. Check to see if your CSC is good, and if not you can change it with this apphttps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.manniakk.cscselector . I think I've used it before with this ROM on my 705w to do the same thing, although I had lost my imei and was trying to fix that. If you do find a solution please post it, I'd love to hear what happened and what works. Sorry I can't do more, best of luck.

also, if i search for networks, it gives no result (none found), although the sim is registered and data go over 2G just fine.

This has nothing to do with what I was explaining. People have been using USB DACs for a while. In which Google never had any support for them. Lots worked. When Android 5 was released google inputted Native drivers for USB DACs. But in doing so, it crippled a lot of devices that were working. Mainly high end DACs. They just stopped working. Cheap DACs still work but nobody wants to run a cheap DAC when they are big audiophiles. So we've been looking to a fix for this. I even downgraded to Android 4.4 to get mine to work once more.
