[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] gooberdude:
I have been solidly using Gnabo V8 versions along with modded Boeffla kernels for stock touchwiz. During my experiances with mixing the two to get the best performance and usability, I have found some tricks to make a solid and very usable custom ROM that most WIFI only tablet users may find overall the best out there.

He key is what packages to use and how to configure.

Step one is removing unconfigureable or hidden settings that you cannot wipe. This makes sure what ever customizations you have done are gone and will not mess with how the installs function.

My way was to perform a clean for new ROM in Philz, and install a stock 4.4.2 ROM. When rebooting, power off by holding down the power key, and when powered off remove the back cover and disconnect the battery connector for 2 minutes. Reconnect and allow the stock ROM to finish installation setup. Make sure Bluetooth, wifi, miracast and other functions operate as they should. Once verified everything is functional, reboot into recovery and perform a full wipe for new ROM install, clear both caches, and install the Gnabo V8 version you have picked. DO NOT... Repeat do not install any other patches or additions outside of applying SU from Philz recovery and loading a SUupdate.zip. Reboot and perform the installation setup and let the tablet set for 15 minutes once the setup has placed you at the home screen.

You now have a clean base to start with further updating to Boeffla 2.6 Kernel and other minor patches to the apps that have been placed into the system.

Reboot into recovery and apply the Boeffla 2.6 kernel, and TiBackup.zip.

Once booted, remove the old Civato kernel utility and what ever apps you find useless. To add to your list of app removal for replacement... Video, Video Player, Music Sharing, Voice Note, Multimedia Service Layer, S Voice, and S Finder.

I will post all the apps and priv-apps in zipped folders for manual installation. They will fix some issues that were left uncorrected. Plus add features lost in Video playback, like play next, and sharing.

As for applying patches and Civato odexing tool, they cannot be installed through the recovery installer as they apply improper permissions and framework gets broken. Boeffla kernel doesn't work well with the framework.jar patch. Plus the 2.6 kernel has the Bluetooth fix built in. I will also include zipped folders of the patches to manually apply.

Along with the patch apks, I will include a zipped lib file collection to add further inhancements. One is to allow cropping in Photo Studio and a nicer way to clip videos.

Optional zipped folders to allow odexing, and fixed power off charging images.

Sounds like a lot, but with the zips being easy to place in a manually created system folder, all you need to do is run a few shell commands to allow 644 permissions and root users and owners. Then cut and paste into their respective folders.

Only TwFramework, Bluetooth.apk and Settings Provider will need to be copied over. The TwFramework is to remove the black bar on top, and Bluetooth.apk and secsettings.apk which fixes wallpaper functionality. Studdering is fixed by the kernel, and may not need bluetooth.apk replacement.

Right now i am messing with a few different Video.apk files for their stability and function, in wanting as many enhanced options as possible without FC issues.

Will start posting my zip files and instructions for permissions and using the odexing tool.
