[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erdapa:
Hello,

I write a regularly published article for Intel's Android Hub (https://goo.gl/3zD3JC) and, I was wondering if there's any way I could get someone to read a rough draft of my latest article? It's not very long and, it's an easy Google Docs link!

Basically, it's a tutorial about what ADB is, how it works and how to install Android Studio's ADB binaries system wide on ubuntu. My hope is that it's simple to understand and readers are left with a much better understanding of ADB. I believe it to bell well written and informative.

But....

For some reason I feel compelled to double check my facts before I make an arse of myself 8^\

It's kinda silly really.... I know that I know what I know but, do I really know it?

Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thank You!

Here's the link:

Nothing works quite as well as stock in my opinion. So here is a stripped down version of the BOJ1 Nook Rom. It should work on any 710/810. So may I present to you for your flashing pleasure....

Neked Nook​

See post #2 for Permissive 710/810 kernels and other extras. Boot ani and BNN Stuff

Features:

710/810 PB1 version of Neked_Nook Both use Updater-script Based on XAR 3-26-16

710/810 version with NO BNN Stuff. Uses updater-script. 3-20-16

710/810 version with Xposed built in - 3-18-16

Choose to your liking

810 version of Nook

Almost all Samsung apps removed

Bloat removed

apps moved to data - Estrong explorer

Removed almost all downloadable apps from /system - give the Tab some wiggle room.

Permissive kernel

init.d support in kernel

init.d scripts

Permission fix for writing to Ext SD

build prop tweaks

zipalign /data apps on reboot

busybox

Probably other stuff I can't remember

Install: This must be a clean install to work as I made it. No restoring either from Tb or TWRP or...

In TWRP, wipe /system, /cache, /data, /dalvic

Flash ROM

Profit!!

Notes:

On first boot you can sign in to Samsung if you want. It'll give you an option to restore.

SU will need to be updated. Just do it through the Playstore.

******

Not in PB1 version If you DO NOT want the BNN interface/apps, you'll need to use a rooted explorer and delete /system/app/NookAMV. Then got to App Manager and uninstall Nook.app.

*******

Xposed versions can take up to 5min on first boot. Just be aware

******

Possible bugs

None that I know of.

I can't help you if its not a clean install

xposed- just not a fan. It affects performance

Restores from anything - not a fan of Tb either. It creates issues also.

Screenshots below:

1st one is if you remove the BNN apps this is what you're left with

2nd is the Home Page. BNN icon in bottom left

[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] ginryu:
Thx!! Gonna test it right away!!
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] ginryu:
Ok, installed it and it is almost perfect, just the detail that netflix is not working, you select a movie and stays in the loading screen, tried to search for the lib file you have to delete to fix it, but it's not there!! Any ideas??
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] engine95:
It should be. Unless there a change in OJ1. I don't use netflix on my tab so I can't really check into it.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] ginryu:
Well I did a system wide search and the file is nowhere to be found :/ tomorrow I will search for other solutions and will let you know :P
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] vshapke:
Ah it's arrived! Ty for your work!

Could someone please see if Amplify works? It's the only closed module I iuse on my current Canadian 5.1.1 stock ROM.

Also, does the nook do away with touchwiz? Can't seem to find any conclusions screenshots in Google...
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] engine95:
I'm not sure about Amplify as I don't use it.

I posted a couple screenshots in the OP now. Hopefully they answer your questions. Touchwizz is still there.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] ginryu:
Just to let you know that netflix works after this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2101525

Now everything is up and amazing!!

Thx again for your hard work.

Post #2 has 810 Permissive Kernel.

And .zip of removed apps. You'll need to manually install which ones you want and set permissions accordingly.

Edit: Also added an "Add apps flashable" zip to post #2 - just add the apps you want back in and flash
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] engine95:
Gonna need a tester or 2 for the 810 version. It's uploading now and should be available in about a half hour. We'll call it Beta but there should be no issues. Either post here or send a PM. [MENTION=3397853]danyvw[/MENTION] if your interested. ;)

Edit: Or look me up on AFH, dl it, and post if there's issues.

Edit #2: PULLED until I can figure out issues.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] ivanox1972:
Do you plan t715 build? I can test.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] engine95:
I don't. Not yet anyway. It depends if I can build your kernel from the same source as the 710/810. Then I would also need your build.prop so I could edit it. Maybe in a few weeks. We'll see.

Flashed ROM with permissive kernel. It boots up but the touchscreen is messed up so can't get through first page of set up
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] siamchen:
Dear engine95,

I'm using your ROM on a T810. The system info says the battery capacity is 4K mAh which should be 5800 mAh. Will that impact the charge ability?

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] engine95:
I haven't heard of any issues with that. So I can't say for sure. But it shouldn't.

I haven't found where that's located yet but I think it's just info and not something required for charging.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] JustMeToo:
I have a t817W tablet. I wiped data, davlik, system and cache and installed the latest 810 ROM. Tablet works fine, everything seems to work. Didn't check the sim card but I don't/didn't care about it anyway. Of course, now it says that I have a t810 tablet but I know the truth. :D
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] Billy06010:
Having trouble flashing some of the Removed apps with the new rom. moved apps to the correct folder in the Add+apps+flashable zip and after flash getting a lot of force closes and apps no loading. any help??
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] ivanox1972:
[MENTION=1280108]engine95[/MENTION] I asked you just after rom release would you support t715 / t815, you said: for now not... Hay you changed mind? I have t715, this is great device, just crying for custom rom...
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] engine95:
Check permissions. Compare them to others.

Folders should be rwx-r-x-r-x. And the rest should be rw-r-r. I think.

Sorry, got busy with this latest update. I still need to update the kernel for it.

You might be able to use the ROM though as it's working for the 817 in the post above. But if you try it, use your kernel. So remove the one I have in the ROM. I'm not sure if you'd lose reception though. MAKE A BACKUP FIRST!

If you try this, let me know how it goes.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] ivanox1972:
[MENTION=1280108]engine95[/MENTION] [MENTION=3847895]JustMeToo[/MENTION] I like to try this on t715 even to kill phone capabilities of this device, but afraid to kill it. Also I need help about how to...
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] engine95:
Got to looking, and here's what I see.

You will lose reception as there's about 3 or 4 extra files that the wifi only doesn't have. And the build.prop is only looking at wifi, so it needs modified also.

But the Rom should flash just fine. In the zip, just delete the "boot.img" first. Then flash the ROM. MAKE A BACKUP FIRST!!! So you can restore. just in case.

The kernel, (boot.img) MAY work for you guys too. But again, you would lose reception.

JustMeToo should probably confirm all this.

I don't know how Odin works, but MAKE SURE you backup first in case it looks at the model. IF it's wrong, you may not be able to flash/use Odin.

I can add init.d support to any kernel. I just need the boot.img. Then you can run the scripts in the ROM.

Selinux "Permissive" needs to have source, and the only one with PB1 is the T-710 ( It just happens to work for the 810.)

As for a fully working Rom for you, I would need the system.img of OJ1-PB1 that you can make in TWRP. Like I said above, you have extra files that wifi doesn't.

Your bootloader would need to be ver2 also. So if your on 5.0.1, or pre OJ1, then this probably won't work for you.

For 810 wifi users

I went through the .tar for the 810 but i can't use it to build a ROM specific to it. (The tar doesn't unpack corrrectly. If someone wants/can upload the PB1 system.img from TWRP, I can modify it so everything shows correctly. ie battery mah. Use XAR as it's the most complete .tar.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] JustMeToo:
I did not try the sim card and have no plans to put one it and try it. I have a hotspot on my phone for when I need wifi on my tablet. Every thing else works fine. Wifi is as expected, camera is fine and any app I've tried worked with no problem. External SD card works fine too.

If there is anything else you'd like me to test, besides the sim card, let me know.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] Giuskiller:
Hi, sorry for the question (maybe inappropriate?) but...why there isn't avaible a version for sm-t715? The only difference from the 710 version is the lte i guess...
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] engine95:
Did you remove the kernel (boot.img) that's in it? Or did you leave my kernel in there? Just so others know too.

If its working for the 815, then the 715 should also. You lose reception though.

And read the last 2 pages. There's someone that's already tried it on 815. And in this post. And it works.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] JustMeToo:
I didn't make any changes to the ROM you've posted in post #1. Also, my tablet is the t817W and not the t815. I don't know if it makes a difference or not.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] ivanox1972:
[MENTION=1280108]engine95[/MENTION] - thanks boss for this. I am glad that we open story to unify your great rom for all 4 devices (in past I have tab s1 and main rom iron rom was for all 4 variants). I an not skilled enough for your level definitely, but, if I understand correctly,we need SAME 5.1.1 basis rom for T715 and you can make ALL functions working rom (with phone sms...), is it??

But, this is not story in the moment, we stack at 5.02 for both 8/ 9.7 LTE devices, so biggest we can have with your rom is working device WITHOUT phone functions, is it?

thanks again for rolling this thing, Tab S2 LTE is great device, just no enough developers...
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] Giuskiller:
I've read, i know. But i tought that 815 and 715 were different ins something...that's because i've asked. Just to know. So ipotetically i could install 815 rom in my 715 and everything should work fine except for LTE, right?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] engine95:
Here's what I know so far:

1. There's 3 files that can turn the 710 ROM into an 810 ROM. But the battery will show wrong. I can't find that still. And as far as I know, that's the only issue.

2. All of our tablets are the same 710, 715 and 810, 815, 817. The difference is the radio and it's reception/bands it uses in the *15, and *17. So you should be able to use the same Rom, but you will lose radio reception.

The gray area:

3. The bootloader revision needs to be "revision 2" which we all have according to samsung source. And should be 5.1.1

So the 715 and 815 have 2AOJ1, the 817 has 2AOK3 or higher. So if you are running these, then you SHOULD be able to flash this ROM. The "2" in the build is the bootloader.

(Just noticed the 815 is showing a 2APC3 on Samsung firmware. and the 810 has 2APB2) What's interesting is that these numbers are for both 5.0.1 AND 5.1.1. Hmmmm

I'm blaming all of this on [MENTION=3847895]JustMeToo[/MENTION] as he's the one that has tried this on the 817. :D :good:

He's flash the complete ROM, including the kernel, and says everything is fine except battery shows 4000Mah. And it shows as an 810 now. But that's easily fixed.

Obviously I can't recommend doing this. But so far it seems to be working. If you try this, MAKE A BACKUP FIRST!!!!

For me to make this work with the radio, I would need a system.img and boot.img. Both of which can be made in TWRP with your original 5.1.1. ROM.

I know there are files in the *15, *17 ROM that need to be added to be able to have reception. And using your specific kernel.

I'm not sure if this answers your questions. I don't have your Tabs.

But it is working for JustMeToo.

Edit: You need the 710 ROM for 715. 810 Rom for 815, 817. Obviously the displays are different, and you won't be able to use the sceen.

Only if you try this. Again, I can't recommend it. But....

Edit #2 Edited this post to go with the post below. JustMeToo confirming things.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] JustMeToo:
[MENTION=1280108]engine95[/MENTION], two clarifications.

1. I never said that the sim card doesn't work. I said I never checked it and never used it, nor plan on checking it, and therefore I don't know if it works and I don't care if it works since I'll never planed on using that option. It came with the tablet, which I bought second hand. :)

2. The tablet came with Android 5.1.1 and it still shows 5.1.1. The only things that show wrong are the battery, 4000, and the tablet type, t810, but both these things are inconsequential.

I hope the above will avoid confusions. :D
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] engine95:
My bad. Sorry bout that. I've understood all along that reception was not an issue for you. But I'm pretty sure it's not gonna work. So I said it like that.

Interesting on the 5.1.1. Samsung firmware has you listed as 5.0.2 only.

Again, my bad. It depends which letter you have. I just looked again.

Thanks for clarifying things. Hope you don't mind me using you as my guinea pig. Seeing as how your the one that got this ball rolling. :good:;)

Guess I need to edit my post above.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] ivanox1972:
[MENTION=3847895]JustMeToo[/MENTION] can you try it with sim?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] DroidIt!:
Just for more Info's :) On t810 I flashed the PB1 03/26 (I believe that's the date, it's the latest at any rate), with open gapps nano 03/30, NNJ kernel, SuperSU 2.67 systemless binaries, permissive hack from flar2 (elementalx), and Wanam xposed for Sammy and booted up first try and working perfectly. After two days no errors anywhere, no reboots, very smooth and great battery...just for more feedbacks ;)
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] JustMeToo:
Not at all, just pile the requests and I'll try to do them when I'm back from two weeks in the tropics. :D
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] engine95:
You don't need gapps, SuperSu, or permissive fix to flash the ROM. They're all built in.

But again, if it's working all the better.

And, because you flashed SU, it probably got rid of the "kernel is not selinux". I found that out also.

Glad you got xposed working also. I'm sure there's others interested.

Drink a few for me! Enjoy. :)
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] sportyfortyeight:
Noob question I'm sure but just flashed and I am not seeing the "my files" just the es app. Any way of getting the stock file Explorer back?

Yep, no issues at all here either. I like an active thread but sometimes a quiet one just means everything is working good. Sooooo, agreed...great rom :)
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] GoldSolitude:
Don't know if anyone has said this but when charging while the t810 is powered off the charging animation is landscape, it doesn't effect anything but I guess it's a funny bug.

[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] lakingslayer:
I was loving this ROM until I found that my microphone wasn't working. I did a full factory stock ROM flash and the microphone was working again. I rooted again and it was still working. When I did a full erase and flashed this ROM again the microphone quit working again.

I'm on the T-810 tablet and I tried Google voice input, snapchat, and my keyboard voice input. None worked on this ROM.

It's not a huge deal for me as I don't call people very often from this tablet. I thought I'd just share my experience.

[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] GoldSolitude:
Install galaxy apps from apps.samsung.com/mars/mw/apk_en.as?COUNTRY_CODE=USA it worked for me :)
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] engine95:
Battery/Charging for the 810 is off for some reason. I haven't figured out where to fix it yet.

Source for the 810 is way lagging. It's still only OH7. No word from Sammy if/when they'll update it.

This is the first I've heard on this one.

What kernel are you using with the working Rom and the broken Rom?

Looks like GoldSolitude gotcha already. Pretty much anything Samsung that you add will need extra files. You just have to figue out which ones.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] DroidIt!:
I did read a leak that said 6.0 is on the roadmap and apparently it'll be in April...hopefully :)
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] lakingslayer:
The working ROM is the 3.10.9-7374220 stock kernel on the stock pb1 build. I was using the stock kernel that came with your build when the mic didn't work.

I've seen some posts with a similar issue on other custom roms with this device but didn't see any resolutions. It doesn't seem to be a wide spread problem with these devices as far as I can tell. Maybe the microphone isn't widely used on this device.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] lewmur:
I'll believe it when I see it. I just read an article from Computer World rating the different manufacturers on their time to rollout MM. Guess which major one was last.

I love Samsung products but their tech support stinks. They promised the Tab Pro line was going to get lollipop in the third quarter of 2015. Only the 12" SM-T900 ever got it.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] bobcntsa:
thks it worked, been looking for it for ages :))
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] GoldSolitude:
can confirm doesn't work for me either on the t810, inbuilt mic and headphone mic which worked on stock doesn't work on this rom.

Nnpb1 v1 kernel
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] Fis2:
Same issue here. T810 with Neked Nook PB1 original kernel.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] engine95:
Thanks. At least this points me to the ROM.

As I've said before, 810 source is behind the 710 but I'll keep looking. I think I'm using 710 and modifying it for the 810. And the using the .tar isn't unpacking right. But I have a base, maybe it can find and switch some files. We'll see.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] engine95:
810 users try this and test for Battery and Mic. I think those are the only issues.

Edit. Removed link as it didn't work
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] DroidIt!:
Hey [MENTION=1280108]engine95[/MENTION]. :) If you remember I have an 810. I've got a little time today for a change, so just getting ready to download and flash. I'll let ya know in a bit. Thanks for the update as always. :)

Oh, I see you released a PB1 kernel version yesterday. I can't remember off the top of my head, what's the difference between the PB1 and the NNJ versions?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] DroidIt!:
Hmm. Just tried flashing and got an error message in TWRP "Updater process ended with error: 6, error installing blah blah blah (the ROM)" :)
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] engine95:
I think, it still flashed even with that error. Check "about" and see if it says Neked_Nook_V2. That shouldn't have happened though.

All of the NN kernels are just updated to current source. NN is OH7, NNJ is oj1, NNPB1 is pb1.

Edit: Theres been 6 DL's so far. Are you all having the same flashing issue? And/or did it flash?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] GoldSolitude:
Got this when installing it.

I'll flash it again and I'll see if it installed or not.

Sorry about my dodgy camera I was in science class (and using a ipod) :)

[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] DroidIt!:
Hmm, that's a different error than I got. I am flashing from an external SD, but when I flashed the latest official from my SD it flashes fine. I got the error before it even skipped the md5 check, so definitely no flash. I will have some time today and tomorrow though, so if you want me to try something else feel free to fire away [MENTION=1280108]engine95[/MENTION] ;)
