I use MX player for all my 16:9/10 video`s unless there is a playback problem, but when i watch 4:3 video`s i use Kodi as it has an non-linear stretch, if it works like my old Panasonic TV, it use to keep the centrer of the video normal un-streched as this is usually focused on the main character and then only stretches the edges.

I will have to try that I or i later.

[Galaxy Tab S General] mrdunn:
are these zip files flashable with TWRP? or do I unzip and flash a different way?
[Galaxy Tab S General] Tinderbox (UK):
You cannot install the stock rom with TWRP as the zip has been be modded first, maybe the boot loader needs removing, I don't know i don't know enough myself, so i use odin.

Flash the MM rom with Odin, then flash TWRP with Odin and then Install supersu for root with TWRP if you want root.

You might be able to flash the rom with Flash Fire and keep root and twrp as odin wipes them but i have not tried it myself.

I used Skipsoft's universal toolbox to install 6.0.1, worked fine until I flashed supersu with TWRP. and it bootlooped. I then used the toolbox to unroot and then rooted with the toolbox and all works fine now. For more times I can count, flashing many ROM;s on many devices, Skipsoft saved the day for me
[Galaxy Tab S General] jfmessier:
Is there a root procedure for the SM-T800 under 6.0.1 ?

I would like to have the proper files names to download for rooting my Tab S. It's already been rooted several times under previous installs of Android.

I already installed 6.0.1 on my TAB S, but I was looking at rooting it in order to remove all the crapware on the tablet, to release more space. Especially since Android does not support expanding internal storage to the microSD card, unlike other implementations of Android.

All you need is twrp and supersu.

[Galaxy Tab S General] Frunktz:
Do you download the firmware from here (of course T800 in your case)?

Samsung Firmware T805
[Galaxy Tab S General] Eddie Hicks:
Before the U.S. firmware for the T800 was available, I used the New Zealand firmware which was the first one available. I switched to the U.S. version a couple of days ago. Unless I'm missing something, I haven't noticed any differences between the 2 versions except I think the New Zealand version had more language choices.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Tinderbox (UK):
The T705 and T805 are a little different as they have a cell phone transceiver, other countries might use different frequencies

So you are better off asking T705 and T805 owners from your country about compatibility with other countries rom`s

Does not seem to work on 6.0.1

I got the program, installed and running. But when choosing the tablet model and version of Android, It goes only up til 5.0.2, or *ANY* for the Pro. I go Pro, but when choosing the "Any" again, it does not seem to properly download the CWM file, with a generic error message. I found the TWRP for the TAB S, installed finw through ODIN, but then I do not remember where to get SuperSU to install via ODIN. Any link I can use, by any chance ?
[Galaxy Tab S General] pastroccetto:
You are right

I have the DE MM firmware on my ITV T805 and it works fine
[Galaxy Tab S General] :
Slightly off Topic i know , but If your looking for odin beware of fakes , you could end up giving your PC a nasty little virus . I normally download it as part of chainfires CF Autoroot , had no trouble yet :D

here is Odin 3.12.3 is sonmeone is scare of viruses... This is the one i use. You can scan it after downloading if you're scared.
[Galaxy Tab S General] zigonneux:
the ODIN that I posted is the latest one, as to supersu, it has to be installed with TWRP, which mean that you will not be able to receive the updates from samsung anymore, you will have to install TWRP with odin, root the tablet with super su, then do whatever you want with your rooted tablet !

here is the link for the latest supersu http://xdaforums.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133

Still no sign of OTA for T700 in the UK. If I flash a downloaded version with Odin will I trip knox?
[Galaxy Tab S General] jfmessier:
5.0.2 only

Checked in the link, and for my tabled (Galaxy Tab S SM-T800) ), it supports only up to 5.0.2.

---------- Post added at 01:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:36 PM ----------

The SuperSU in the ZIP file below, I understand I can flash it directly (through TWRP, AP option), or do I have to extract something from it first ?

Rooting the Samsung devices is always waymore complex than rooting the Nexus ones, especially considering I use Linux most of the time, and getting back to Windows is a torture, to me.

[Galaxy Tab S General] mrdunn:
I first downloaded 6.0.1, chose 5.0.2, and picked the file I had downloaded, then booted and set up. I then picked the option to root and install twrp and it all worked just fine.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Tombias:
No, you only trip knox by flashing SU.

Send from my phone.
[Galaxy Tab S General] jfmessier:
"downloaded 6.0.1", you mean the stock image for the SM-T800, version 6.0.1 ? How do you pick this file, when choosing 5.0.2 ? I assume that the option to root is presented after the image is installed. Not sure I catch it. Are we talking about the same toolbox ?
[Galaxy Tab S General] zigonneux:
your question doesn't make sense and what do you want to do anyway ... ? you don't root with the same tool as you use to install the stock firmware.

Stock firmware 6.0.1 get installed with odin,

TWRP get installed with Odin and you use TWRP to gain root with super su

If you root the stock samsung 6,0,1, you'll trip knox and won't be getting any O.T.A updates.
[Galaxy Tab S General] DaWeav:
Well, Samsung fragmentation is frustrating. On my another Samsung marshmallow device, they give me the option of choosing my backup lock screen option when choosing fingerprint (see below), but on the Tab S they default to password only which means entering the password at after every reboot and every 24hr of inactivity. Bummer...
[Galaxy Tab S General] :
I got sick of waiting for the UK version so flashed T700XXU1CPI1 ( XEO ) from samsung-updates.com via odin . Only the second day on it , but give the tablet a good workout and so far no problems .

I bet any money the UK version will be released next week now lol :laugh:
[Galaxy Tab S General] Eddie Hicks:
What other MM device do you have? I have a S7 Edge and I have to use my pin after rebooting or 24 hours of inactivity. After using the pin once, I can use my fingerprint from that point on. So my S7 is no different than my Tab S.
[Galaxy Tab S General] DaWeav:
I have the S6 with marshmallow which prompts for which backup option I'd like to use.

Really? On the XAR marshmallow version of the Tab S, the Tab S only asks for a backup password and nothing else. So, I have to enter the backup password after every reboot. Although, I just noticed that the password complexity only has to be 6 characters long with just one character having to be a letter. Hummm...

SM-T705

No MM update for my Tab S 8.4 LTE (SM-T705). Why Samsung is delaying it so much???

Also ROM development seems very slow for this variant, perhaps for the lack of MM sources for it.

What's happening?
[Galaxy Tab S General] stopa10:
Well, leaving aside AOSP, development seems to be slow for all variants. I would have expected a few stock-based MM ROMs at this point, but there seems to be none.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Tinderbox (UK):
We need a few oled friendly rom`s kitkat at least had dark settings, lollipop was back to white, marshmallow still white, what is wrong with Samsung all their flagship devices have oled displays, at least give us an option of a dark or light theme.

And when will the Google Play store offer a dark theme, most android apps offer a dark theme these day`s

[Galaxy Tab S General] maplebank:
That might explain why I've received the update in the UK then as my unit is region XAR?
[Galaxy Tab S General] Tinderbox (UK):
You have an XAR= "Cellular South" which is an American T800, It make no difference in which country you use your T800 in.

If you Root your T800 you will no longer revived OTA updates, though the T800 will not receive any more updates anyway, unless there is an security update.

John
[Galaxy Tab S General] maplebank:
Ok, but why I have received the update, here in the UK, apparently ahead of just about everyone else?

Strange :confused:
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
Because as said you have received the US XAR update not the UK BTU update.

It's irrelevant where you are in the world, you will get the update based on your device region code not the country you live in.

[Galaxy Tab S General] Tinderbox (UK):
UK T800 BTU - OTA Update is now available, Since i could not find it available yet on any of the rom download sites and Samfirm downloader app was saying that lollipop was the latest.

I was running an New Zealand version of MM, so i flashed back to Lollipop so i could check for the UK T800 BTU OTA Update and it was their.

The UK T800 BTU version of MM seems a bit buggy, I had setting freeze and crash, and just now got a multicolored screen when waking my T800 but only for like 1/2 second.

[Galaxy Tab S General] PFC Hudson:

[Galaxy Tab S General] Tinderbox (UK):
I downgraded from NZ MM to lollipop yesterday using odin, as the UK MM was released yesterday, I did an OTA update to MM. but on rebooting i was stuck in the Samsung logo, I waited 10min, then i booted into recovery and wiped the cache, it did not work, I then did a reset from recovery, it did not seem to work, then i booted to the bootloader from recovery and MM booted fine then, maybe my T800 was stuck in quick boot, and it needed a full boot, I don't know but i have UK MM on my T800 now.

John
[Galaxy Tab S General] flhthemi:
YES - Kodi 17 Krypton will make my audio POP each time it starts or begins playing a video or MP3 and sometimes just moving around in Kodi. Kodi 16.1 Jarvis - NO problems.

Before I did the OTA I did a full reset. I have done one since the OTA because I saw what tinderbox saw

A) Looked like multi colored snow, like no antenna on a TV set, for a second when coming back from a screen timeout a couple of times.

B) When trying to to boot from wiping the cache I wiped cache and then powered off. It wouldn't boot, just sat there with Samsung on screen for a long long time. So I booted back to recovery and let it boot from there and it's been fine since.

Boat Browser for tablet is horrific when you are looking at pages of graphics, like listings on ebay. It totally locks up the tablet, I think it's problem with buffering the data, and just freezes up the tablet to the point you can't even turn it off! So you just have to wait for it to run it's course and force close Boat Browser. I have switched to Lightening browser. This is a GREAT browser and I even gave up the 1.50US fee for it because it will do things that NO other browsers (Chrome, Boat, Opra, Dolphin et al.) have been able to do successfully for me. Like surf through Facebook feeds with no issues, look through pages and pages of pictures from google image search, post messages on this forum and other forums I use. It even works better than Firefox or IE does on my PC! I hope the dev doesn't hose it up one day with some updates....

So...I have considered going back to Lollipop...but I'm hoping there might be a slight chance of Samsung doing a few bug fixes, yeah right.

Does anyone know if Xposed works on MM Sam firmware yet?
[Galaxy Tab S General] stopa10:
Xposed works on basically all variants of Android, except N. TouchWiz based ROMs require special versions of Xposed, so be sure to find the one you need.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Tinderbox (UK):
I saw a review of android browsers last year and "UC Browser" got the highest score, It has an night mode which is great for oled screens though i though it was too dark, should be a way to lighten it a bit, it has addblock, built in flash, ect.

I normally just use chrome but i keep my browsing to a minimum as all that white is a battery killer.

Just what happened to me with the UK version of MM, when the NW version was fine, I hope it does not return.

I had stock kitkat running for over 300 days continually, i only ever put my tab to sleep no shutdowns, crashes or reboots, now that was a stable rom.

I already rooted on Kitkat and upgraded to Lollipop long time ago. I need to make a change recently as the tab s is ridiculously slow and I have no idea what the reason is.

I guess the official MM based Rom will not trigger Knox so I did not jump on the TWRP method. Even though I probably will not use the warrenty, I will wait a little bit if the official MM is close.
