In 3minit battery you can uncheck show battery to hide it. Then in custom settings the custom carrier label and battery bar (if you were talking about that one )can be hidden.

Is there a way to modify the rom through a computer/ convert the img file to a zip file?
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] RealWelder:
Possibly, but be careful. The reason that I use .img is because a couple of different kitchen's I tried to use to make flashable and odin-flashable zips had a small issue. They would flash just fine, but somehow the drivers for mtp get lost in the process and then it won't connect to the pc anymore.

If you do it manually it will probably work just fine, can't say for sure though.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] arjankessels:
I've flashed the latest rom today, but the problem still exists. When the tablet is completely off and i plug in the cable, first i see the battery-symbol, fut after a few seconds the tablet is booting.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] RealWelder:
I'm not to sure why you are having this issue. I'd probably flash stock firmware and then reflash. The ROM only contains boot and system images, so I am wondering if one of your other partitions is missing or corrupted. I can't say for sure, but It's worth a shot.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] beastobadness:
No issues here either, have you flashed another custom kernel other than the one supplied with the rom or changed any existing kernel settings?
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] RealWelder:
I may be able to do this after all... Gotta do a few tests, but if it works I will definitely add it to make it easier/better for everyone!
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] goralpm:
What version of TWRP I needed for install this ROM?

I got 2.8

And, can anybody test GPS?
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] RealWelder:
It should install through either one... However I'm using 3.0. You can test with 2.8 and let me know. Also, GPS functions normally as far as I can tell.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] goralpm:
Yes is OK with TWRP 2.8.7.0

I feel tablet is very lagy, maybe I should make factory reset.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] RealWelder:
Also, use the root booster app on speed setting. It helps alot and adds to the init.d and build.prop tweaks that I have set to help fix the lag.

[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] :
In the screenshots you included it looks like the statusbar is coloured based off what app your in, but I can't find this option :/ How do I enable this?
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] RealWelder:
My apologies, that is one of the few xposed modules I still use. I forgot to turn it off before the screenshots.

The goal was to add as many of them into the system as I could, and I've widdled them down a bit... But I still use a few.

-PerfectColorBar KitKat (this is the one you want)

-Adblocker Reborn (works really well!)

-ScreenOffAnimation

-HeadsUpNotifications

-Xtoast

Do you have xposed? If not I can share a copy.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] :
Well, I don't have Xposed on my Tab currently ;) Also, isn't it possible to include a few of these Xposed modules by default?
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] RealWelder:
I could. Give me about 15 mins and I'll create a flashable zip for you and go into more detail on how to set it up.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3XczzpnAnvwSHJCdUdDcW1laVk/view?usp=drivesdk

So flash this zip with TWRP. Then when you boot back up open up the Xposed Installer. This is basically the control app and repository for the modules. (there are hundreds)

First thing you want to do is click on Framework and click Install Framework. You can choose to do it via twrp or just regular it will work either way. Then you have to reboot. Then go back into Xposed Installed and click Modules. There you will see the 5 included ones. Check them all to activate them and then reboot again. Now you can use them how you like.

Also, in the Xposed Installer the Download section is where you get others to try. It takes a minute or five to load all of them. Lol

The main thing is remembering to check it on in the Modules section after you download and install one.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] :
Thank you! Works perfectly :good: :laugh:
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] Capnwalker:
I like it! It is super fast and I installed the Xposed from the above post too! Thank you for working on this great tab and bringing new life into it!
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] RealWelder:
Glad you like it. Still more to come. Here is what I'm working on currently.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] gr8nole:
The old Jellybean (4.1.2) bootloader does not properly work with offline charging in KitKat roms. If you plug your tablet in to charge while powered off, it will power on and boot into the OS. The touchscreen may not work (requiring a reboot) depending on which kernel version you have. It requires a customized kernel to work properly.

To fix this, you need to install the KitKat firmware to get the KK bootloader.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] RealWelder:
That's good info right there. Thanks. Mine came with KK so I never have had JB on it.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] RealWelder:
The choice is yours, my friend. This ROM has a lot of extra features and customization...without using xposed. Then you can install xposed and further customize your experience. It has built in screen-off music control, (like CM ROMs) and many other features from various devs.

The best thing it has going for it though, is that it is up to date and still a work in progress. So what you see now is only a fraction of what I will do if I have the free time.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] arjankessels:
Any tips what to flash to fix this? And can i backup my installed apps? Any suggestions?
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] RealWelder:
Go to www.sammobile.com/firmwares and search for the firmware by model number. Download 4.4.2 firmware and flash with Odin. This will upgrade your bootloader and fix your problem.

-Flash stock firmware

-Reflash TWRP

-Flash my ROM in TWRP
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] vldesco:
Finally I have installed this rom in my father's Tab 3. Running amazing, very stable, although i have the sense it is a little bit slower than stock rom.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] arjankessels:
I've followed these steps. The tab is running your rom again, but the problem is still there. The tab is charging fine, but only when it's on.

Am I able to flash GApps, or do the Google apps already come preinstalled?

Thanks!

:)
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] RealWelder:
They are preinstalled, but it's only the stuff necessary for the playstore and google search to work.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] dMaN24:
Would this be considered a faster rom than my current Nolekat rom?
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] RealWelder:
I've never compared them side by side, but there's not much lag at all. I've got init.d scripts, build.prop tweaks, kernel tweaks, and the root booster app on the speed setting all working to combat the sluggishness.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] beastobadness:
This ROM has absolutely no issues...it is as lag free as the spec of the t210 will allow. I have tried Nolekat, Supernova,.. the list goes on and they are all comparable for general speed, but the difference is the fresh ongoing support.

Just make a backup and give it a go. I have no complaints about it and more to the point, my wife has never complained once about her bloody candy crush lagging...what witchcraft is this ??
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] TrendingTech:
I just installed this and it runs great. I was just wondering how to get rid of that annoying boot animation and the boot animation startup sound. Is there a way to do that?

Thanks!

:)
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] RealWelder:
For the sound, check post #5. For the boot animation use whatever one you'd like. Just use root browser to copy it to /system/media and rename it bootanimation.zip. Then change permissions to 0644. Reboot and enjoy.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] TrendingTech:
Thank you so much. One last question. In those screenshots at the beginning, the settings app is a different color. Am I able to change that? Or was that a thing that got removed?

Thanks!

:)
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] RealWelder:
Do you mean the blue title bar? (actionbar)

It is actually set to a gradient, but if you install the xposed addon one of the modules is called PerfectColorBar. It makes the statusbar background match the title bar and as part of that process it also removes the darker shade in the gradient.

If this isn't what you're talking about, let me know and I'll try to help you figure everything out. For instructions on setting up the xposed stuff look at post #52.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] RealWelder:
The 210R IR update is just for 210R users. It gives them IR functionality. (tv remote)

As for the xposed, currently I'm only using the five in the addon. You can go to the download section in Xposed Installer and try as many as you'd like, though. Gravitybox (KK) is what your looking for, I think. I used to use it for a couple of features, until I built them into the ROM. (Which was really the plan from the start, I wanted to weed out a lot of the Xposed modules I was using, I started out with about 14 modules but now I only use 5.) It should still be there for you to download, though. Unless it got moved to the playstore.

I'm glad your daughter likes it, I have 3 daughters as well. Keep checking back here, my next update will give her the ability to almost totally theme the ROM on the fly. I'm running "Holo Orange." Lol
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] vldesco:
It is just a sense, I can't confirm that by two reasons:

1. There are more applications installed now just the basic, FB, Whatsapp, Messenger, Netflix, Skype plus some tools like Root Explorer, Greenify, Quickpick,

2. It is my father's tablet, not my daily use. and compared with his previous tablet, this is amazingly faster, so He is very happy ;)
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] InfernoShark:
Bout to try this out right quick. :)
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] RealWelder:
Flash the full ROM first and then the latest update. It starts out as kind of a holo shell, until you use the colorpickers to theme it. (Most of which are in the ROM control app, but for the notification panel it is in the notification panel settings.)

I think you'll like it once you get it setup the way you want it.?
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] InfernoShark:
Welp I wiped everything and I mean everything and installed this. Looks great and works great but this thing just seems to want to hang now. Didn't used to be like this. I think it might be going. Like it's running out of memory or something. I've even got Ram Expander running on it and it seems to lag like crazy anymore. :\
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] RealWelder:
That's odd, mine runs pretty-much lag free. Did you use root booster and set it to speed setting and then press the blue button with the arrow? It configures the kernel and also hibernates apps' background processes that use a lot of RAM. I also have this app called Fast Optimizer. It is just a simple click on the icon and it clears app caches. I have it set on my home screen and click it about everytime I go home. Hope that helps.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] InfernoShark:
Think I'm gonna start fresh tomorrow. Like I said it used to be just fine. Then it just kinda started getting goofy. I do use a ton of social medias apps. Maybe that puts a strain on it because of all the multimedia?
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] Capnwalker:
Quick newbie question: on the browser this ROM has, how. Do you use private/ incognito browsing? I'm Just not finding it!!
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] RealWelder:

Can i flash custom boot animation zip? Is this rom support flashable boot animations?
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] RealWelder:
If the .zip file puts them in /system/media/ and changes the file permissions to 0644 it will. You could also do it manually with root browser.

About something else I have a drawback with the installation of several programs like torque pro that I have not been able to install, it says that it is being installed and then it tells me that it is not installed, that it could be thanks...
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] RealWelder:
If you can link me one of the apks in question I can take a look. It might be a signature issue...There is a mod I could do to disable signature checking if that is the problem.

Hi [MENTION=6036537]RealWelder[/MENTION],

Is that possible to make statusbar transparent? If yes, could you please add this to the next update :D
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] RealWelder:
It already is transparent, but the status bar gradient is black by default go to RealWelder ROM Controls/User Interface/Status bar gradient and select 2 color then use the 2 colorpickers to make it #00000000 for transparent.

My next update will be soon though, I've fixed the bug with checkboxes not being displayed in stock settings and am wanting to do a long-press back button to kill app mod.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] RealWelder:
I went ahead and uploaded an update. Enjoy. Sorry for making you all flash again, but there was too much going on to do a simple update.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] Z0R:
[MENTION=6036537]RealWelder[/MENTION] many thanks for your amazing work with the ROM. It's really much appreciated to see that somebody taking care on this device. Please keep a good work and update it further. I am testing it for the moment being. It's working so far so good. I will calibrate a battery level to see the consuming on daily basis. It seems that the consuming is higher than expected even with "hybernetic tweaks" but I will monitor it further.

Thanks again for the wonderful work.

---------- Post added at 07:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:55 PM ----------

Additionally to say. Maybe you can add instructions for dirty update and first installing in OP ? I can't imagine do a full wipe for the ROM to install a last upgrade.

Please advise as it's very important for me. To be honest I have removed Holo launcher and replace it with Nova launcher and would like to keep it. :D

Thank you.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] beastobadness:
I don't know if it's a placebo effect but the latest rom update definitely seems to have given it a kick up the butt 'speed wise'. Big thumbs up [MENTION=6036537]RealWelder[/MENTION]
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] RealWelder:
No need to wipe, ever! Lol. That's the reason I use this method of flashing raw images... there no need for data loss. When the updates are small I will do a small update package, but when quite a few things have been updated or modified it is easier to re-image the system.

In your case I would download zipme by jrummy apps, and use it to make a flashable zip of Nova so after the update you can flash your launcher back on easily.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] CreeperPVP:
Do you think this will ever get to maybe 5.0? Just curious..
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] RealWelder:
Unfortunately, it's unlikely. The company that makes the chip for the device won't release source code. Without it you can't compile a new kernel, which you would have to do because of ART runtime.

Change lock screen wallpaper

Hi I'm really loving this rom, but can't find a way to change the lock screen wallpaper from the stupid default that makes it impossible to see the keypad in anything but optimal viewing conditions.

Can someone advise how to change it? The only way I know is with the TouchWiz launcher, but that's been removed. I know someone wouldn't release a rom with such a basic feature as changing the lock screen permanently removed unless they had brain damage.

Hi there,

Thank you for this ROM, I'll will test it to revive my old SM-T210.

But please, long time ago I have not installed an alternative firmware and I can't find exact process to do that : can someone help me quickly please ?

I have this SM-T210 in Android 4.4.x (French version), official Samsung firmware, neither rooted nor modded at all.

What should I do and in which order please ?

Is it :

1) Boot into recovery and install TWRP (I have downloaded the T210 3.0.0) via Odin,

2) reboot

3) Going into recovery again

4) Installing this ROM via Odin

There is nothing more to do (rooting or something else) ?

Thank you :)
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] RealWelder:
Sounds about right. ROM already has root, you can flash the xposed addon if you want to have xposed framework, though.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] LMQT:

[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] LMQT:

But a little slow, as original one :(

Do you think this mod "SGTSMT210xPerformanceUpgradePack.7z" (from here : https://.xda-.com/showthread.php?t=2704300) is a good thing to flash ?

If yes, does someone as a better link please, because the one posted is full of jerk and I'm a totally enable to obtain the good 7z package.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] RealWelder:
I'm really not sure the link is broken. You could always make a backup and then flash it to see. Also are you running with root booster on speed setting? Basically, the ROM is about as fast as is possible with these tabs and dalvik runtime. I'm pretty sure that even if a newer OS does come out, it still won't be any faster.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] LMQT:
You're right, I don't need this patch because everything is in your ROM, but I haven't seen this menu :)

I just switched to "speed mode", I'll test now ...

Thank you ;)

Finally a good-looking fast stable stock based ROM. Even Google Now is working unlike in other ROMs. New "recent apps" screen is awesome​.

I noticed that sometimes screen may "flashing/blinking" (I don't know how to call it). It's most noticable on white color.

Why this ROM have ~ 20mb free space in /system partition?
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] RealWelder:
Someone else reported some kind of flickering also, I don't experience this so I'm not sure what the cause is. How do you have your brightness set? All the way up? Auto? What screens does it happen on?

Also, I'm not sure what you were asking about the space in the system partition, but I added and removed many things and then updated apps. It's basically just extra space for apps... You can use link2sd to make downloaded apps become system apps, if you want. The only problem is the system partition changes with every update.

[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] RealWelder:
You have to launch them both from the multiwindow tray. I'm working on a modification to allow you to add any app to the tray, but for now it is limited.
[Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Android Development] RealWelder:
I just completed the mod to add any app to multiwindow. I will upload a small update addon shortly. If you don't see an app that you want to use in multiwindow, in /system/ect/ there is a file called mw_blacklist.txt. This is a list of apps for multiwindow to ignore. Find the package name in mw_blacklist.txt and delete it, then reboot and it should show up in the multiwindow add screen.

Please to say that after 1 night of pretty heavy use it seems faster and smoother than the others and my search for a new tablet is now on hold.

Good job !!
