That's great to hear.. : )

I am running at 220 doi but 200 will also be OK. I played with the dpi too trying to get the best balance of screen usage but still being able to read what I was looking at..lol... For me 220 is perfect but for someone with younger eyes, lol, You can go smaller. I also tried going higher but found that by making the dpi much more than about 240 you start to lose icons in system and weird things elswhere.

This is the app I use to change it unless you are familiar with using Android termial and manually inputting the changes in that way, which also works well.

My attempts to debloat my rom any further has proven unstable, at least on my device, so I am not going to remove any more. I really want this rom to be stable and have no issues and so far it is that. I have looked into the Knox removal as well and even though Knox is removed, it is still in the settings menus. Knox is removed however I am looking into how to remove this from the settings menus as well.

I used SuperR's Kitchen right here on XDA.

Man I hope it is CM13.1 and not Nougat. I have had my fill of N... lol.... The only theming option with Nougat is OMS and I am a big fan of CMTE. But any development for this tablet is a step in the right direction. I also used that tool on Ubuntu Mate 16.04. It should work in a VM too but I actually have it installed as my OS on my PC so it runs much nicer than in a virtual machine.

Nope,, I couldn't get the zipped to flash, even after using the SuperSu uninstaller zip. I kept getting a fault saying that the updater script was unreadable. Hmmm..,

You have to remember, I am not a developer. My source code is Samsung stock firmware. All I did was use"SupperR's Kitchen" to make a TWRP flashable zip. This tool also allows for deodexing and Knox removal plus a whole lot more.

The only roms I build in the way you are referring are AOSP roms like Pure Nexus and SiX rom. And even that has come to a halt because my system keeps failing as soon as Jack server kicks into the build process.

Once the rom has been converted, then I can pull it apart and make the small custom changes that I make, which are very few. Eve. The kernel is fro. Another awesome dev. There is no way I could build that. "@ashyx" is an outstanding dev.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Themes, Apps, and Mods] glockman4519:
Don't worry about the asking questions. I am not like the others and you can ask what ever you like on this thread.

When building AOSP from source, during the actual build process, a tool/server starts. It is part of goggles end of the build and it is huge. This is where most builds fail, if they are going to, because of low memory. Well, no matter what I do it keeps failing as son as "Jack" starts to build.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Themes, Apps, and Mods] glockman4519:
Have you installed it yet? It is pretty easy in its use really. Once installed, you open the folder that it is installed in and open a terminal inside that folder. Then type ./superr to start the tool. All you have to do is pick the choices of what you want it to do for you. The choices are numbered. Anything it needs, it will inform you and tell you what to do too.

[Rom] Stock builds for SM-T350 6.0.1 Ghost Project
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Themes, Apps, and Mods] efrommel:
the capacitive buttons are turn off? is a feature of the ROM? can i enable them back? thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Themes, Apps, and Mods] t1Mg:
Hey Glockman,

First and foremost, let me say a BIG BIG thank you for all your awesome work and for creating this "Ghost Project" ROM for the T-350. Its been a while since I've messed around w/ rooting, flashing ROMS, etc, so it was very nice to find a little love for this tablet. So, thank you again.

When I first stumbled across this thread, I was already running MM build number T350XXU1BK2, so obviously, i flashed your Ghost Project v1.2 build. (without any problems I might add :))

The battery life is decent, but certainly not as noticeably "great" as i was expecting, or as promoted.

So......my question is this....

Was the battery life only better on the earlier builds running T350XXU1BPE3, and if so, can I flash that firmware over my current version using Odin, and then use TWRP to flash one of your earlier versions? Specifically Ghost_Project_v.1_6.0.1_t350-signed.zip?

Thank you in advance, and again, thank you again for the great work!!!!

Any hope that there will be a Nougat ROM update for this tab? I got two of these Tab's for my kids and want to be able to use the new Family Link app that frustratingly has a Nougat requirement.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Themes, Apps, and Mods] Thisguy129:
I subscribed to your YouTube channel very nice work by the way I'm probably going to flash this ROM tomorrow to try it out. I see you went with tradition root instead of systemless I couldn't agree with you more on that.

I guess I won't flash I got the wrong build.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Themes, Apps, and Mods] glockman4519:
That all depends on Samsung. If they do a nougat update then I will grab the firmware and true it into my kitchen and try to build a debloated, rooted rom. I will keep my fingers crossed.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Themes, Apps, and Mods] glockman4519:
I'm not sure why you aren't getting stellar battery life. My tablet and several others have had nothing but outstanding battery life. But the big thing to remember is that each device is different and will run differently. What may work on my device may not work that week on yours. Not only do devices behave differently but depending on what apps you have installed will also have a drastic effect on battery life. I do not use Facebook and if I need to go to that dreadful site, I use my browser as apposed to their app (is a battery vampire). I also use Xposed and a few battery helping apps like greenify.. Thank you for giving it a try but I completely understand if you move on to something else. As stated in the OP, I am not a developer. I am learning more and more about building from source each day. So I don't promise anything. I only share what I use, and this is the only rom I run on my SM-T350. ?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Themes, Apps, and Mods] glockman4519:
What do you mean you got the wing build? I have roms for 2 different builds for the SM-T350. Check my thread on the android development thread. The link to both firmware builds can be found there. But if not than the is another good rom out for this device too so mine isn't your only choose ?

Thank you sir. And I hate systemless root. I just don't get why anyone would want a custom rom and not want root. If you want Android pay and Samsung pay and a few if those games out there that require you not be rooted, then why even flash a custom recovery and Rom? That's just how I feel about it and to each his own...lol... But this systemless root and all the safety net crap had really got under my skin lately.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Themes, Apps, and Mods] Thisguy129:
I just downloaded the right build I seen you moved the page im on my phone flashing a ROM right now so I I didn't have time to edit. I don't know to much of safety net thing I'm guessing you can't use Android pay or something like that.

I like the way you think you mean Pokemon go right kids they want root and to play there games but yes I feel the same way.

Anyway it doesn't ever get a signal response i rooted my dad's tablet and gave him my old phone rooted he loves it. I wish there was a way to make more people come around.

Hi

Just bought this phone in the past you had to unlock bootloader to install custom recovery.

I may be willing to build for this phone if 100℅ root is found.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skritch:
I am very interested in rooting the Blu Studio XL2. Can you let me know how you accomplished it?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mchlbenner:
Root

You need to get adb drivers.

You need to unlock bootloader.

Make sure you backup your apps etc.

Unlocking bootloader will wipe user data.

After all USB stuff is in installed.

Adb reboot bootloader this will take you to fastboot next put fastboot oem unlock.

On your phone it will give a choice to unlock bootloader volume up unlocks volume down will keep it locked.

Just pressure you this is not hard to do.

I have two work able recoveries at the time they can bootloop you if you install I was told so here is my solution to this.

Adb reboot bootloader then do this fastboot boot recovery img.

Works like a charm after recovery boots up do a backup.

I will try to drop some links to recoveries for you.

The garlic touch recovery can be flashed and it works.

Twrp can used only temporary by fastboot boot recovery.img.

Update the other recovery can't find SD card don't use it.

Hello,

I have successfully used ADB to unlock the bootloader, but i am running into issues on the root. I can't get a custom recovery to stick. After unlocking bootloader, i haven't enabled root just yet. How do i accomplish this?

EDIT: Using the ADB, I initialized a manual push to force install the recovery (typing the directory by hand). Once it stuck i installed SuperSU from a zip. Worked like a charm.

Looking for nougat for Blu Studio xl2
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karl0755x:
Blu Studio XL2 has new patch fixing some bugs

Blu Studio XL2 (S0270UU) has a new OTA patch that fixes the wireless update bug ( root check - rooted error) and HTMLviewer malware issue that shows up on security scan (with Malware Bytes or Lookout Security & AV for mobile). It will uninstall the Starter app and I believe the games that came as bloatware - I disabled those games /uninstalled those games. Patch removes the APK files.

Version is dated June 05, 2017 and is available OTA.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zaxscd01:
Any suggestions on how to bypass that wireless update bug? It keeps giving me root check - rooted error, so I can't actually apply the update. The phone is definitely not rooted though, so I don't know what to do. I see it's a common issue on Amazon reviews, but no one has listed a solution.

Maybe someone could supply the OTA update file so I can just update via recovery?

Thanks in advance for any help.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karl0755x:
No it is not rooted; I applied the OTA via wireless update panel. But I did have BluHTMLviewer file disabled along with the HTMLviewer file too at the time. The games that came with the phone were also removed with uninstallation procedure on phone. In fact; I do disable quite a bit of the bloatware on the phone (on any android phone I do this automaticly). And you can do all that without rooting anything with android 5.0 and above. Bottom line is my phone is fixed. If you do apply the patch; the start program also will be removed. That and all of the games that came with the phone will be removed. Since the bloatware games were uninstalled beforehand I do recommend you remove them before hand too before starting the process.

The phone flies now with battery living up to manufacturer's claims. Typically charge only 2 (sometimes 3) times a week! And I installed BIG Launcher Pro and Big Keyboard Deluxe to "senior enable" this phone. The file on OTA patch my not be viewable with existing file viewer. Nor can I say it can be found with recovery boot. This was a conventional patch upgrade via download and execution. Did not boot into recovery.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zaxscd01:
I appreciate your response, but what I mean is I can't apply the OTA via the wireless update program because it keeps claiming the phone is rooted when it is in fact not rooted, nor have I tried to root it. At first I thought it was because I disabled a few of their programs, but based on Amazon reviews and reddit comments, I see this error is a common problem. I already ordered a replacement phone for my mom (insanely she wants an even bigger phone) so once she's fully transferred over I'll happily do a reset and try the update again. In the meantime though, I was hoping there was a workaround.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karl0755x:
Well I did. Disable blu_Htmlviewer & htmlviewer apps in apps. You have show system app files to see these two files. Uninstall the games that came on phone. That will disable malware. Eventually system will show patch June 2017 file. Blu hasn't released ROMs on this phone as all the manufacturers are not lately either. This is the way to fix the phone - gets rid of malware & fixes root check error message with wireless update.

anyone tried xposed installer yet? what file did you use?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flex_or_fleece:
Yes I have tried the installer with v87 sdk 23 (the sdk23 is for Android 6.0) it works for me using SuperSU zip flashed through TWRP.

I then rebooted and installed Xposed apk.

Again I then rebooted back into TWRP and flashed the framework. zip.

I had an issues with a few modules complaining they were not activated when they were and decided to do a wipe then restore back to fresh out of the box pre root nandroid backup I made.

I am now certain it was due to the Flashable SuperSU zip. It created a directory in / called /su

In it went /xbin and /bin which is where su binary and BusyBox and all her applets went. Couple that with the Studio XL 2 having toybox and me deciding to replace and symlink all applets not realizing toybox was on this phone and some worked most did not. Rom Toolbox, luckypatcher, adaway, and others......

Magisk 14.0 installed via recovery and then use(d) sdk 23 in the modules download list. All's well that ends well and the above now work perfectly. But wait....remember the toybox issue? Well thanks to a clever and generous developer we have a Flashable script that properly handles BusyBox and toybox applets symlinking. Using systemless BusyBox and/or jrummys even the paid & free Stericson versions all do this and will cause Xposed to claim it is installed and even ask you to activate or activate & reboot after module downloads. Until you do so... Then open any module and it barks at you saying please enable and reboot or randomly claims it is not in fact installed, etc..

tl;Dr

1. Magisk manager install

2. Open Magisk Manager and download the Magisk 14 zip for flashing. Not installing within the manager And flash it in TWRP.

3. Reboot, open Magisk Manager and under downloads tap the one titled Xposed V.87.3 Sdk 23 systemless.... An overlay pops up with a link for the instructions and most importantly the modfied Xposed Installer app. So click the link download and install the installer in the thread.

4. Reopen Magisk Manager and under downloads; download not install Xposed V.87.3 Sdk 23 systemless.... Zip and flash that through TWRP.

5. Lastly & most importantly this phone comes with Toybox installed and it causes issues and many many apps like Xposed to not work because BusyBox installers for now don't properly handle the symlinking. Here is an easy as it gets zip file and tutorial w/explanations to fix that issue. https://xdaforums.com/android/software-hacking/zip-busybox-v1-26-2-flashable-binary-t3581875
