One thing though about the CM ROM (versus the OMNI)

If on call, the person at the other end will hear his echo

I tested this myself, knowing this issue from CM/AOSP/Resurrection etc from Tabpro 8.4 etc devices (all of this tablet phone types where the speaker/microphone arrangement placement I believe is different from regular smartphones)

on Tabpro and this was on 4.4 and 5.0.2, I had to adjust some values in an audio mixer file (not just the gains as lowering gain would reduce in-call volume too but actually turned one microphone off to use another) (top microphone versus the lower one but turn on gain so person at other end could hear..something like that if I recall correctly from early 2015..nothing was perfect though)

Here on Omni and CM I reported the speakerphone as not working. However, and this is more evident in the CM rom, the caller's voice at the other end is unusually loud and moreso does not sound like coming from the internal in-call speaker but from the external speaker, albeit at a very low volume. (like the Xperia Z3 Tablet compact that does not have a separate speaker for the call and uses the regular media speaker at a very low volume, though folks have said it is loud enough that other people can hear what is being said by the caller (to your phone). This sounds like that on the CM ROM...and therefore this is picked up by the microphone that then is heard as an echo for the caller (hearing his/her own voice). In the OMNI, this is not there i.e. I do not hear echo on my 'caller' phone (once I move suffiicient distance away from the device with my 'caller' phone)..on the CM it does not go away...when people are speaking rapidly they will not hear the echo usually but if they pause and say things slowly or say single words they could hear echo of their voice.

I am restoring the OMNI backup I had to check it again and copy out the system/etc/audio files to see if there is any difference with the CM

I think something can be changed in the audio files to make use of the speaker and microphones correctly (may also fix speakerphone issue)

This is a perennial issue on almost all CM/non-stock ROMs for Samsung tablet phones (think even the tab S had this issue with CM and so did the T235)...even OneplusOne (which used CM on some of its models) though there I am surprised the users had this issue

..although like on Note 1, Note 2 I never had this issue...suspect it is because of tablet phone differences in the speaker and microphone layout

maybe I am not wording or describing this properly or just that I could be wrong but thought I'd post this

EDIT: Yes tried the OMNI again and it works just fine..no echo

EDIT2: I swapped the OMNI etc folder audio files for the CM and now the echo has gone (so just like Omni...had 2 long calls today-one caller I know is very audio-sensitive and picks up the echo quickly-no complaints!) still trying to understand why this 'worked'
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] jedld:
Glad to see that someone is actually using this device for making calls, I use the SM-T285 as a secondary device so i don't use it for calls as much. I appreciate that you are taking the time to test this things. Interesting find on those etc files, I'll try to perform a diff to find out, unfortunately CM makes much more tweaks to stock android than OmniRom does and it makes it hard to figure out where the bugs are coming from.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] mac231us:
well...something else..on CM only not OMNI there is a quirk...say I put the phone on call forwarding it will show a call forwarding icon in the status bar which is what is expected...however on reboot that icon may disappear...I missed couple of calls having put the device on call forwarding to my work phone (as it gets a certain carrier coverage Verizon in some work areas where my personal provider ATT does not have)...then forgot about it, put it on mute, and was using the Tab not knowing it was on call forwarding (as sometime during the day I had rebooted and the icon had disappeared)

Further, this also happens like say I am on call forwarding on omni or stock and then went to twrp and restored a cm backup...when the phone comes back on restored with the cm backup the call forwarding icon may have disappeared (does not happen say with call forwarding established on cm, then restored omni backup..the icon remains in omni)

what is disconcerting is if I go into call forwarding it shows that I am not on it (although I am) and actually allows me to turn on call forwarding! (and then turn it off i.e actually disable it if I want to)

also it seems another 3 times I have missed calls on CM...seems the signal drops off more on CM (maybe a rendering thing on signal bars but in checking the signal db and band it does seem weaker)

so for now going back to Omni..although I miss the theme manager and the font changing with your own fonts (not like inbuilt in some font app like fontser) (manual replace of Roboto-regular.tff in system/fonts works to change the font in Omni)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] corzradio:
What file would I tweak to make this ROM louder?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] mac231us:
don't know about the volume increase just on removing the echo

I went back to the CM to try it again-this time on restoring the backup (without data) the call forwarding icon was there..however in going to call forwarding menu it said I was not on it (and the icon was gone)-then I turned it on again and then off..and it was actually off this time. Initially I thought it had to width maybe rendering in different dpi (was using a higher one) or a theme but this check showed the inconsistency is still there. Anyway willing to go back to Cm for now and try it out. (got a neat theme based off miui called Hight Life (Light) from Play Store)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] jedld:
I would try flashing Viper Audio or Dolby to see if it helps. Samsung had an audio boost lib that I saw though I'm not sure how that one worked.

Runs smoothly on my device :) thanks mate :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] ashyx:
I don't think that's correct, have you downloaded it?

I think it's actually 5.1.1.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] jedld:
I think its mislabeled though, it has the same build number as the 5.1.1 stock firmware from https://samsung-firmware.org/. I'll try to extract its system.img and see if it is what it is but I highly doubt that is the case.

See the original post (OP) by jedid at the start of this thread. Just search for that gapps package. I used one from October. It says to use an older package.

keep clicking previous at bottom of web page got from using the link below

https://github.com/opengapps/arm/releases?after=20161108

you need arm not arm64, 6.0 and anything 1109 or earlier

safe to go with October like 20161002 that I used

You can try posting though in the Cyanogenmod and OmniRom community groups in Google Plus for support for your device.

Just released a F2FS enabled and SELinux enforcing build. Unfortunately using F2FS requires a wipe. Feedback appreciated.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] mazmorbid:
All good with the updated F2FS version here.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] mac231us:
somehow could not get it to install (looping about needing reset and that encryption failed) using the latest twrp

EDIT...i need to format (forgot that)..try again
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] mazmorbid:
I was just going to say, did you format to F2FS after you did a wipe ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] ashyx:
You don't need to wipe, just format to f2fs.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] jedld:
Yeah just go to TWRP, Advance wipe and then change filesystem to F2FS for /data and it should be good to go. Note that since it reformats the partition you will lose data, so make sure make a backup. As [MENTION=4899305]ashyx[/MENTION] said, you can then copy the backup back to the F2FS partition after.

Can i flash the rom via TWRP or im forced to flash it via Odin? The same with gapps?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] jedld:
You have to flash the rom via Odin. For gapps flash using TWRP after.

There is or there will be a way to fix camera? On my device I can open it, but when I try to take a pic I rest stuck on it and camera doesn't save it.. thanks to everyone will answer me, and thanks to the developers that worked at this ROM:):D:D
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] jedld:
are you using the F2FS version?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] mac231us:
I think that has to do with write permissions on the sdcard? (recall having that issue once)..however I found the focus to be blurry and have used open camera since then

---------- Post added at 07:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:02 PM ----------

Hello jedid forgotten to ask one question about the cm13 (btw not had a chance to do the f2fs version installation yet)...the charging is super slow (like 4-5 hrs)-this is not how it is on the stock rom (don't recall omni though can try to check). Not sure why it does this (multiple installations since early December same issue)-this morning I found the Samsung charger has gone bad (rare for that to happen) and this is when it was sitting charging for the cm rom (same case if I charge in car etc or use another charger/outlet/cable-same result) Not sure if the super slow charging (high resistance? low EMF?) caused the charger adapter itself to stop functioning.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] jedld:
Interesting, though, if you have time try to get Ampere to work on stock or tinker edition and see the readings that you get. I do experience that myself from time to time. Meantime I'll check to see the kernel sources if there is anything related to it.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Kevinkuensken:
Hello

Work SD Card slot with ext4 SD Card?Or only fat32?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] jedld:
Haven't tried. I just usually set it to adoptable storage under 6.0.1 which is usually formatted to ext4 or f2fs depending on the build
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Kevinkuensken:
OK but adoptable storage works good right?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] jedld:
yeah, seems to work fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Anonymousxx:
Yes, I'm using the f2fs version
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] jedld:
I've just fixed the camera issue with the latest version, just download it again from the link or go to the DevDB download section.

So I have to reflash the latest version of f2fs ROM? Thanks a lot for replying

Can you send me the right link? I have difficulty to find it :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] jedld:
Yup. No need to wipe since you are already on f2fs. It also has the latest December security patches which is also a good thing.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Anonymousxx:
I don't wanna be boring, but can you send me the link of it? I wanna be sure of flash the right ROM.. another thing, I have to flash it through Odin, right? Without make a full wipe? Thanks a lot for the patience;):D

I will..checked with omni rom-no slow charging issue..will do a fresh installation of cm to check again
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] jedld:
It's also possible CM might be more verbose when describing charging speeds, in your experience how long does it usually take for the stock device to charge fully?

Hello

Can anyone Check in SD Card Work with ext4 Format pls?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] mac231us:
Sound

system/etc folder

tiny_hw.xml (can change volumes etc...though identical to stock and omni per my checks) (need to be careful changing the gains)

media_codecs.xml and media_profiles.xml different between omni and cm13 (do not understand these just reporting)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] jedld:
CM has FFMPEG built in and is used as a fallback codecs, also added spreadtrum hardware accelerated codecs, haven't verified if all of those work though, only the one used by Youtube is verified to work.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] mac231us:
hello Jedid...is the speakerphone issue something that can be fixed (basically speakerphone does not work) (issue on cm13/14 and the omni) Thanks

edit

one more thing but different topic-the omni rom for some reason latches on to 4g much faster than the cm13...somehow seems like a better more stable signal

anything in the system files in omni that give a better cellular radio? (seems that way)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Kevinkuensken:
Hello

I flashed your F2FS Cm13 but i get an mistake after Flashing.He said me encryption unsuccessful i must be reset my phone.If i make that i get the same mistake
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] mac231us:
You have to go back to recovery (force download mode and force recovery otherwise it will loop through wipe script and this encryption message)...and wipe... advanced wipe... select data partition and select change file system to f2fs.. It will format internal storage and then reboot successfully... Confirm with others
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Kevinkuensken:
ok it work.Ithougt if i flash via Odin it format automaticall.

Where can i find the gapps?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] mac231us:
Search in this thread gapps prior to November ...i had posted a link sometime back... Otherwise search on internet a.. Again has to be before November... October is safe to flash... Has to be arm not arm64

Edit

It might be in the other thread by jedid for the TW Tinker ROM

i have not had any bootloop issues - having switched back and forth from cm13 to omni to cm13 extreme to stock then back to cm13 extreme etc etc

especially since I do frequent TWRP backups and do tweaks to theme (have rebooted several several times)

one thing is on cm13 extreme I have stuck with ext4 and not changed that (formatted once and that is it) as I also go back to stock occasionally (gps, speakerphone)

have not tried to flash stock through odin for the longest time as have worked with twrp backup made back in December (but maybe ext4, full wipe, then odin? may work? - usual process?)

am not doing any kernel mods only changes I make are to get menu on the app switch recent apps hardware key, use omni audio files to remove echo during call (for caller) ...some font cganges and plenty of theming and some xposed modules like gravity, net strength

root is done by flashing root SU not using CM root

maybe jedid has a solution for you just reporting my experiences although am a simple user no games but do have many many apps (over 120)

hi, i am stuck at bootloop. I am using the stock firmware *APCN then I have encrypted my device. Decryptd and factory reset using TWRP 3.0.2.0. now I have download the xtreme version "CM13-XTRM-20170116-2-UNOFFICIAL-SMT285-BETA.zip". I am using GNU/Linux and tried to flash using Heimdall.

Commands executed:

$ tar -xvf CM13-XTRM-20170116-2-UNOFFICIAL-SMT285-BETA.zip

# Vol + Home + Pwr = DOwnload Mode

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

$ sudo heimdall flash --SYSTEM ./system.img

then the device is not boot looped showing the Marshmallow logo (animation). I don't know what triggered it. does the boot.img from the ZIP and tar.md5 corresponds to the partition KERNEL or BOOT ? Please help
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] jedld:
You heimdall commands are correct, the only problem I can think of is that you haven't wiped your data partition properly. I suggest that you go back to TWRP and try to reformat your /data or optionally your /cache partition (ext4 or f2fs). Also first boot up takes a while so you may have been impatient.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] jedld:
Don't touch the boot partition. From what I know you can't really touch it as it is read only. Only the KERNEL, SYSTEM and RECOVERY partitions (sometimes userdata) are available are used with regards to custom roms. If you continue to have problems I suggest you go back to stock 5.1.1 first and boot with it then proceed with CM builds (I recommend the less aggressive non-XTRM builds).
