Help me again, why my signal phone not found after update ? is there something wrong ? :crying::crying:
[Zenfone 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kihope12:
-in first time i need to know if your phone load your sim

-go into dialer app and call *#06*, if you will get "null", you lost your IMEI, then go into imei lost/rewrite imei topic

- if you will get two simular lines if numbers, you are ok, try your sim on other mobile and other sims in your mobile, if signal will not work, go visit service center, they will repair it (if you have locked bootloader)

btw did you use stock rom?

Hi,

The mount_ext4_sdcard.sh script moves all apps to SD card on reboot?

Edit: did not read till the end. System apps are not move.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] jedld:
It won't by default for safety purposes, however you are welcome to edit the script and try to move them all :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] venomrat:
Thanks for your hard work. It's a pity this device is not as popular as their other models or more people would have already signed the petition. :(

I regret not doing more research before buying this tablet.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Nando14sunny:
Hello there :)

At first i want to thank you for your hard work so far :)

Then i've got a question,

I just built this Tablet (LTE version) in my car. Now i'm on to configure it with Tasker to "act more like a car radio". It was really hard, because of the non rooted device.. But i did it so far :)

I used a sound mod, called Dolby Atmos (i think it's from lenovo?) on allmost every of my rooted devices to improve its sound.

I'm wondering if it would be possible that you could build in this mod inside a rom for me?

Normally i flash it as a zip file via a custom recovery so it's in the system files. but maybe you could edit it in there before the rom get flashed via odin? I could give you the zip, if u dont find it. It would be really nice!

Greetings from germany :D
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] jedld:
we could try, could you point me to a rom that has the specified libraries for Dolby?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Nando14sunny:
Thank you, for the fast answer!

Here is the flashable zip of the Dolby Atmos, mod i used successfully on my other devices:

Mega

Greetings
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] jedld:
Ok, wish granted, updated the ROM to include Dolby ATMOs, just redownload the ROM from the link in the main post.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Nando14sunny:
Wow thank you! I'll test it right now :)

Edit:

It works like a charm! :) You really improved my devie with it!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] venomrat:
Hi,

If it's not too troublesome, perhaps the next version can symlink the host file to a r/w folder so that ads can be blocked.

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] jedld:
Possible, though the only r/w partition is data and cache, and it may potentially cause problems when you suddenly try to do a wipe. I'm working on deodexing and porting xposed framework for now. Either that if you've got some IP addresses that need to be blocked I can create an edition that has those entries. I'll see what I can do though there might be away to do it without breaking factory reset/wipe cache.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] venomrat:
No hurry. I can wait. What you are doing now is more important. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] jedld:
Wish Granted. As a bonus, the latest version of the ROM is now deodexed and Xposed, please refer to the main post for the updates.

Feedback is appreciated.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] jedld:
May need to modify build.prop, you may do this yourself here:

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-tab-a/how-to/guide-samsung-galaxy-tab-7-0-sm-t285-t3438296

Regarding xposed have you actually tested any other modules that need root?

I already built a rom with xposed but it was all but useless because pretty much all the modules I use need root.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] DragonMama:
Did you create a 2nd partition that is ext2 or ext4? If you didn't get that far before experiencing issues, that's not this ROM's fault and there are some good tutorials online about it, if you can't find them PM me and I'll dig up one of the links I've used in the past. If you did all the preliminary setup and are still getting that issue, try going into Link2SD and "linking" (not moving to SD in the app, it offers both options) an app that you don't have any particularly strong attachment to. After it links, exit Link2SD and make sure you still see the app in the app drawer. If so, then reboot and check to make sure the "linked" app doesn't disappear. If it's still there and opens/runs, Link2SD is working. If the app isn't in there, look to see if you got the "mount warning" notification I mentioned and if so, try the soft reboot option then look to see if the "linked" app shows up again. If so, you're in the same boat I am and if that's an acceptable situation for you then just do a soft reboot from the notification every time you fully power-off then on or reboot the tablet. If it doesn't work for you, or if that's too annoying, consider using the Foldermount app instead (someone said that's working without this work-around but I paid for Link2SD ages ago and am just being a bit of a cheapskate - I may wind up switching myself, I think it's like $2).
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] kannaiah:
Now with Quick Reboot its working, first time I tried Quick Reboot I had screen flicker so I thought it would not work.

For now I can live with Quick Reboot after a shutdown or a restart.

Was wondering if it is possible to edit fstab file to mount 2nd partition, I tried from init.rc but doesn't seem to work.

"It'll be done when it's done"

First of all, THANK YOU! Secondly, while I notice that 5.1 is mentioned as being released "soon" for the SM-T280, I wanted to know if soon means a few weeks, or several months? I ask because the GPS is broken on older stock firmware, and I'm wondering if I should upgrade to latest stock, or latest Tinker Edition.

I can't seem to get the SD card mounted on my sm-t280 after the v5 install. Everything else is working flawlessly, and I can access the memory on the SD through the root file explorer, but since it won't mount in the system settings, I can't move apps to SD storage. Any ideas?

So after reading the entire thread and making a fat32 8gb partition and using exfat for the rest of 200gb with Link2SD (totally worth the $2.50), I am able to fully utilize the microSD.

Thanks jedld for all of your work on this!! And thanks to the rest of the main contributors on the forum for helping a novice get exactly what I was looking for!!

Im having some strange problems with wifi connection on sm-t285

I used stati ip for wifi connection.

I recently changed my internet provider, with old router download from Here maps was resetting the router. Before I downloaded router lost internet connection at least 10 times.

With new router from new ISP, even though device is connected to wifi there is no internet connection.

Please suggest if there is a solution.

Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] ashyx:
Are you still using static ip or dhcp?

I suggest using dhcp again. If using static make sure you're on the same subnet as the router and that dns settings are correct.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] kannaiah:
Thank you :good:

I tried to use dhcp but no luck.

My gateway setting was wrong.

Is there a guide to help make custom ROMs for this device?

I'm not a newbie, but a simple guide would be invaluable for someone wanting to try their hand at making a custom ROM for these devices.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] marcelser:
Guess what, I did read all the 21 pages before and there were various discussions about restoring original vold, apps like foldermount, special scripts on github, etc. without a clear indication which of the stuff really solved the problem in the end.

So I thought I'd rather give another +1 for the 5.1 Rom for TM-280 instead of messing up my device completely having to start from scratch until I find the right combination of what needs to be done to make it work.

So, if you could give clear instructions of what needs to be done in order to get card working (without Link2SD instructions since I'n using it since years) it would be really helpful to me and maybe others too. Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] ZeroZorro:
What I did:

1.Install ROM from OP

2.Install Foldermount from PlayStore

3.Run Foldermount, it will come up with comment about script error regarding writing on EXT-SD or something like that. Let it do the repair and reboot device.

4.Install Aparted and format 2 partitions (I ended up with 1st partition Exfat 64000 and 2nd partition Ext4 64000), reboot again.

5. Install Link2SD, run it and let it create the right mounting scripts (ext4 on 2nd partition in my case).

After each reboot you have to start Link2SD and it will ask you to Quick reboot in order to make the mount-scripts work.

Working fine for weeks now and only have to watch battery so no restart is required at all.

Hopefully this mini-guide will be enough to get you all started, good luck!

am not into link2sd etc and all credit to jedid here who paved the way for root with TWRP from ashyx (without recovery we would not be here either)....

and not trying to get folks necessarily to do something else here but...

initially after using ROMs here and having fiddled around with trying to root (unsuccessfully or even deodex) (w/ great guidance from ashyx in June-July) I then just installed stock odin, did the recovery,,,did the root like jedid has in his guides...then deodexed myself using lordroid, the system app, framework and priv-app folders,,flashed it myself through twrp

then removed unneeded apps did some xposed stuff (not much works anyway)

theming these new TW is close to impossible for me (whatever fragments I could like in status bar in older 5.0.2 etc) in these new 5.1.1 and higher (old 5.1.1 and 5.0.2 were ok) Samsung ROMs ever since they moved to qmg (no backconvert from png to qmg)

Ediit...and I did not even know this...Jedid does not even put up a donate to me like some do (even if just reposting other people's work)..it is there in his profile...donated!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] random4t4x14:
I'm sure jedld is working on this, but really, it's not a deal breaker using Link2SD as it is currently. While I didn't have to use "Folder Mount", Link2SD has been working fine. Also, if you're finding that Link2SD is annoying, or that you're having to reboot a lot, another option to consider is "Obb on SD" which is an xposed module for larger apps that have big ass OBB files. This will allow them to load from SD card, and updates even work as expected without having to reboot. Failing that, we just have to be patient. I am still looking into debloating the latest ROM for the SM-T280, but considering the issues asphyx and jedld have had, we'll see.

Oh and, I didn't have to use "Folder Mount" because I manually changed what was needed, here's how ->

Launch your favorite file manager, like Root Explorer

Navigate to /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml* (Remember to backup “platform.xml” to a safe place)

Open platform.xml by long pressing on it and then select EDIT

Find "android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" and "android.permission.WRITE_MEDIA_STORAGE" lines

Add the below code lines to those headers or simply make WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE and WRITE_MEDIA_STORAGE blocks look exactly the same and then save the file, finally, reboot.

<permission name=”android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE” >

<group gid=”sdcard_r” />

<group gid=”sdcard_rw” />

<group gid=”media_rw” />

</permission>

<permission name=”android.permission.WRITE_MEDIA_STORAGE” >

<group gid=”sdcard_rw” />

<group gid=”media_rw” />

</permission>

yes which is what the apps do...recall would use an app by jrummy - think it is now in their Rom toolbox app from the kitkat days and still does the job - manual method is best though the apps like root explorer or even explorer or backup apps like mybackup pro ask once to enable write permission to the sd (and not again once granted-maybe need an automatic one for link2sd and convenient as well if automatic)

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] random4t4x14:
Thanks!

I currently have a very customized ROM installed, what I was wondering is if there was a handy guide on making debloated stock ROMs that I can then flash as usual (rather than doing a TWRP restore).
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] mac231us:
for debloating all I did was flash a zip file with a delete script in there...of course mine was not so selective in a sense..since I was deodexing it basically wiped out the entire app, framework and priv-app folders and then wrote new ones over those (and I took out before hand what I did not need in the overwriting folders)-maybe can do the same and just write selective new ones and delete selectively ones not needed by going to the updater script itself-uploading what I used and will post the link once it is up (goes without saying but keep in mind it is a guide as my device is a SM-t285M)

lines like this in updater-script

otherwise you can use system uninstaller root (works well imo) and remove unneeded apps

run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/data");

run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");

package_extract_file("delete.sh", "/data/local/tmp/delete.sh");

set_perm(0, 0, 0777, "/data/local//tmp/delete.sh");

run_program("/data/local//tmp/delete.sh");

ui_print(" ");

ui_print("Putting deodexed apks file back to system ");

ui_print(" ");

package_extract_dir("system", "/system");

ui_print(" ");

ui_print(" Fixing Permissions ");

ui_print(" ");

set_perm_recursive(0, 0, 0755, 0644, "/system/app");

set_perm_recursive(0, 0, 0755, 0644, "/system/framework");

set_perm_recursive(0, 0, 0755, 0644, "/system/priv-app");

ui_print(" ");

ui_print(" Unmounting System ");

ui_print(" ");

unmount("/system");

unmount("/data");

Disable Smart Manager?

Hi all, I have root, TWRP and have flashed this rom all without a problem on my T280. Everything is working great. However, I would really like to be able to disable Smart Manager without breaking anything. I kind of hoped that flashing this rom might take care of that, but it keeps popping up ram "optimization" windows with advertising. I've read that using a package disabler can break all kinds of other, necessary things on the tablet. Can anyone tell me how I might shut Smart Manager down, permanently??
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] jedld:
I opted not to remove smart manager in the 5.1.1 roms since it helps with freeing up space on the device which is currently a pain point for all of the users of both the T280 and T285. It's a little better for the T285 devices since we can use adoptable storage for the 6.0+ based custom roms. You can try to remove the app itself under /system/apps, I don't believe it does anything critical to the functioning of the device.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] afkisok:
Thanks Jedid for the quick reply. I'll try removing the app directly and see what happens. If it's that simple, that would be awesome. I haven't read much nice about SM, and having it pop up with an ad any time it wants really bugs me.

Would I just be deleting the folder(s) of the app and rebooting to remove it? It seems to reside in /system/priv-app rather than /system/apps, and there are 2 folders: SmartManager_XGA and SmartManagerSDK.

Also: by adoptable storage, do you mean an sdcard? I'm using a 16gb card on my T280 with your rom, and I'm able to move some of my larger downloaded apps to it as well.

So this rom does work for the SM-T280?

Thanks in advance for any help, and all your time.

I think this ROM may work on SM-T280 proof in the title of the thread, but still get a stock rom incase of emergency.About Odin i've used it long ago so I can't remember I am using Heimdall to flash since I am using a GNU/Linux PC.

In heimdall you just need to specify which partition you want to flash the IMG file. Ex.

$ sudo heimdall flash --RECOVERY ./recovery.img
