[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] Oatswesow:
Hi thompatry, or anyone else who can help. It's been a VERY long time since I've rooted and flashed ROMs - so unfortunately I'm going to sound like a BIG noob. I've read the entire OP multiple times. I found and old sm-900 in my storage, I rooted it and installed TWRP WAY back 5 or 6 years ago when I got it when I was heavily into rooting/moding and Samsung didn't lock their bootloaders (a$$ wipes! - excuse my language)

Since it's currently on 4.4.2 that means it's not running the Lollipop BL. I would like to confirm (before I noobishly brick this thing) that I indeed need to flash the Lollipop BL.

Also - I noticed the following in the instructions "--I have built a new version of TWRP with the MM kernel. MTP, Vibations, ADB now work and there are performance increases. Link". I'm currently on TWRP version 3.3.1 directly from TWRP. For me to flash this ROM I will need to download & flash the OP's version of TWRP... correct?

Thanks in advance

sad re-noob
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] bmwdroid:
Afaik it won't work without the Lollipop BL.

As this is available separately it might not be necessary to flash Stock Lollipop but just BL in Odin without touching TWRP.

Mine is on TWRP 3.3.1. as well, which works fine.

If it doesn't work that way just flash the Stock ROM (3 parts best) and then start again with flashing TWRP and so on.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] dcarvil:
[MENTION=259731]bwm[/MENTION]droid is correct, you will need the Lollipop bootloader and you can flash only the bootloader without flashing the complete ROM. TWRP 3.3.1 works fine, you don't need the older version.

Hi, I am thinking about flashing this ROM. I have one question though. Last time I had a LineageOS based ROM and I have connected a Bluetooth mouse, the cursor on the screen was just a small dot, barely visible for my eyes. How is it with this ROM? Thanks.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] dcarvil:
It's about the size and shape of a lower case "o". However, there is a "Large Mouse Pointer" option under Accessibility. It's a huge black arrow about 1/2" high - no problem seeing it. I took screenshots, but they did not show the cursor.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] joluke:
[MENTION=4817899]thompatry[/MENTION] you said you were working on getting the new version booting and never said anything else. Did you gave up on it? Seems like it
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] thompatry:
Actually I am looking for a couple of developers to help. I have been still beyond busy and unable to work on the bugs preventing the release. Please send me a PM if you can develop and have the knowledge. I do not have time to teach people at the moment.

I would like to get this working and can try helping out. Though somebody with more recent rom developing knowledge would be nice too.

I used to do Roms like 5 years ago.

Any more developers here?

Getting into TWRP P900 from 5.0.2

Tom,

Thanks so much for this development; new life to my P900 - UK version WiFi onl.

Wasn't sure it would work, or remember how to do it, and admit it did take a few attempts; Last time to did a Root/Flash was on a Moto-Xoom about 5 years ago!

That said thought I'd mention that I had to change the install process in order for it to work.

I could not get into TWRP with the back up, but then found an article from Underlines.

Essentially I had to unselect the auto reboot in ODIN - then into TWRP, then all went to plan.

So now I'm running 7.1.2 LineageOS Version 14.1 20200509-Unofficial-v1awifi

Only run it for 24hrs so far, but appears all to work very well; few nice new features compared to 5.0.2 that It was stuck on previously .

thanks again - will keep an eye on future developments.

How To Install TWRP + ROOT On Lollipop

(Tripping Knox)

Due To different bootloaders On Lollipop, installing TWRP is slightly different:

Download the twrp.tar (https://dl.twrp.me/v1awifi/twrp-2.8....i.img.tar.html) on your pc and supersu.zip (http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu) on your device. Also, download odin on your pc

Open odin on your pc.

Put device into download mode by turning off the tablet first. Then hold power,home, volume down button all at the same time till download mode comes up.

Hit volume up to continue

Connect tablet to pc.

Hit the ap or AP button in odin.

Select the twrp recovery tar.

Untick auto reboot in odin

Hit start and let it flash all the way

Now force reboot by holding power,home, volume up buttons at the same time till it reboots.

Hit install button in twrp.

Select the supersu zip you downloaded

Swipe to install and reboot.

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] prahsper:
I have successfully install Lineage 14.1 on my Galaxy Note Pro SM-P900. I just don't have root yet. My only problem is the volume is real low. Lower than what it was before I flashed it. I could barely hear the games sounds with volume all the up. Is anyone else experiencing this? Is there a fix to raise the volume level higher on this tablet? Thanks.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] bmwdroid:
Just flash Magisk in TWRP to get root.

Otherwise you can't access mixer_path.xml you might have to change.

Which version did you flash?

Mine has no probs with Vanilla 20200505.

But I used the deathly versions before that which had no probs neither.

Edit: just made a test with mine.

Max. volume is to loud for me.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] prahsper:
I flashed mine with Lineage 14.1 20200523 Unofficial-v1awifi, Open gapps-arm-7.1-full-20200523 and just rooted it last night with CF-Auto-Root-v1awifixx-smp900. All is working fine so far.

I don't have any idea how to work the mixer_path.xml so I installed the Deathly and got the volume to a nice high level that satisfied me.

If there is more I need to know or do, please feel free to assist. Thanks.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] bmwdroid:
No help needed I presume.

Just as a matter of interest what did you flash before that your volume was that low?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] prahsper:
Lineage 14.1 20200523 Unofficial-v1awifi, Open gapps-arm-7.1-full-20200523. It what I used and the volume was extremely low. Before flashing it was on Android 5.0.2-decent volume.

But after rooting it and installing Deathly, the volume is outrageous. Setting it too high in Deathly yeah the speakers rattled but I brought the db to 13 and it's great.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] curtixman:
I forgot the password to my SM-T700. I managed to bypass and eliminate that however, I used the same password to lock Deathly Aduitor and now I am locked out of it.

Can anyone tell me how I can bypass or remove that password?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] bmwdroid:
Made a dirty flash of the latest lineage-14.1-20200609-NIGHTLY-v1awifi and all is working fine.

Thanks again [MENTION=4817899]thompatry[/MENTION] to keep our device up-to-date.

Hi, I'm running the stock 4.4.2 rom on my P900 and use it mostly to watch movies (with VLC) and for a bit of browsing. I don't really need any new features, but a speed up would be really nice. Would there be a noticeable difference in speed if I upgraded to this latest LineageOS 14.1 ?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] bmwdroid:
Well I don't really know for I've never made a benchmark test yet.

I've switched to 14.1 because of latest safety patches.

Bought mine with 5.0.2 which was out of time at that time already.

For you go online with yours I'd recommend switching to LOS anyhow.

Afaik LOS will reduce RAM load because of much less loaded apps after starting than with stock.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] stsilver:
Thank you, security is not a big concern for me, I don't do or keep anything remotely sensitive on it and it's always behind a firewall too. Speed would pretty much be the only incentive for me to upgrade.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] bmwdroid:
Just for you I've inspected that with AnTuTu 8.3.4.

36940 points with energy saving options set to highest speed.. Now you can test yours and tell us.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] stsilver:
Thank you, I tried AnTuTu 8.3.4. and 8.4.2. but both freeze on "Image Processing Fisheye" at 16% GPU test. :( It seems that the average score for this device when it was released was about 34500, so there may be a bit of a boost, although people report scores to differ by more that 20% on the same device depending on ambient temperature... I guess I'll just keep it as it is.

Wow awesome! My tablet is alive again thanks kind sir. [emoji7]
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] prahsper:
Guys! I messed up!

I had my Samsung Galaxy Note Pro SM-P900 going well. I have another tab and wanted to sell this one but I had to bring it back to stock. I downloaded a few roms hoping to find the right one that is for this model tablet. A US rom, which I couldn't not find anywhere. I heard about this cellular south rom that is US but couldn't find it.

Anyway, I accidently flashed the wrong rom (P900KXUBOG6_P900KOOBOG6_HOME.tar) over (CF-Auto-Root-v1awifi-v1awifixx-smp900). It turns out to be the wrong rom and it's Korean. I tried to re-flash CF-Auto-Root-v1awifi-v1awifixx-smp900 over it but for some reason it won't work. The Korean rom still stays.

Does anyone know how to remove the Korean rom so that the CF-Auto-Root-v1awifi-v1awifixx-smp900 rom could flash back? Or even better, does anyone have the original stock rom for this tablet so I could get it back to it's original state? Thanks.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] bmwdroid:
Download the desired stock with samfirm tool.

Make sure to get the multiple (binary) part version and flash it with Odin.

Or download at sammobile.com that might give it as well but I'm not sure.

https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-note-pro/firmware/#SM-P900

But funny enough there is no specific version for US cellular south is there.

What was the ROM it came with?

Perhaps the serial number can give a hint.

I wonder what's the difference anyway for it's the wifi model and these frequencies are worldwide the same.

English should be selectable in settings when starting or isn't it?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] prahsper:
Thanks for the assist. I manage thru trial and error to get the language changed to English. So now this rom is all set and working fine as if it was right out of the box. It's at Android 5.0.2. Doing a system update as f right now. Thanks again.

Your TWRP is too new. You need to downgrade to 3.2.1.0, at least was that the recovery i used last time I was on 14.1. But why not stay on 17.1 ? It's an up-to-date ROM that is going to be a great one as soon as the bugs are straightened out. It's already working as a daily driver.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] kpino1991:

Silly question... its been a while since I've done this...

Can I dirty flash the latest nightly "lineage-14.1-20201009-UNOFFICIAL-v1awifi.zip (2020-10-09 01:34)"

over my current build: 14.1-20190622-unofficial-v1awifi ?

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] thools60:
In theory you could, but since so long time has passed between the builds, i would go for a clean install. I always wipe it totally clean once in a while when following a builds progress. I have Google backing up EVERYTHING in the cloud, so when I start fresh i get all the apps and even my personal settings back in a whiff.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] bmwdroid:
I do it a bit differently.

First backup Data, then do a full wipe plus "data format", then a clean install plus BiTGapps and Magisk, let it start once and then restore the backup of the older version.

Usually this is successful.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] mexigga:
Awesome....great point and reminder to start with a fresh install. I haven't used the cloud to do a restore, so I will have to try that instead of Titanium Backup (my go to).

Cheers!
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] bmwdroid:
FYI

TWRP 3.4.0-0 gave me Error 7 when flashing lineage-14.1-20201020-NIGHTLY-v1awifi.

3.3.1-0 worked.

With lineage-14.1-20201027-NIGHTLY-v1awifi as well.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] westwallpoma:
TWRP 3.4 actually works fine if you remember to reboot to recovery after wiping the various partitions.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] bmwdroid:
That's not true for me as 3.4.0 was installed already and backing up worked fine.

After that I tried to flash onto wiped system (Dalvik+cache as well of course) partitions.

Or do you mean first wiping and then reboot to recovery?

That would be peculiar as it's not necessary on any other device.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] westwallpoma:

Having done a quick search through this thread I see there's lots of posts about Google play store, I've read a few but not seen anyone mentioning the issue I'm having, which is the play store is asking me to pay for apps I've already purchased.

Have carried out the fixes I've found online etc, nothings working, anyone experiencing something similar with this rom?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] bmwdroid:
Afaik nothing to do with the ROM as it's working on mine.

Read something similar somewhere else.

That helped there: delete Playstore cache and data in app settings and let it rebuild its database.

Which "fixes..found.. online"? That as well?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] Smartie36:
Feels like I cleared the data & cache of the play store app a million times, along with Google play services & anything else including removing my Google account from the device & adding it again but nothing fixed it so after all afternoon trying to sort this out I decided to download the Google play store apk, the exact same version that was already installed & installed that, after which I cleared data & cache of the app yet again, rebooted & thank god that fixed it!

Hi.

New to running ROMS.

Got 14.1 on my P900 and enjoying the new life on an old machine?

But I'm missing the sPen functions.

Read somewhere that CM sPen + some apps can cover this.

Installed and installed and still could not get it to work.

Appreciate the help.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] bvbsoccer:
Where did you find that play store apk? Because I have the same problem
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] bmwdroid:
Somewhere in one of the several Note forums I read that it's an app you have to buy. Wasn't interested so I don't know its name.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] RyG5:
Steered away from that as well.

I did this one

https://xdaforums.com/t/tips-to-enable-s-pen-features-on-cm-aosp-roms.3504865/

Tried following the steps but couldn't find the superSU app so I had to use root checker instead.

The link of the CM Spen is dead too so I searched for the apk.

I installed these, followed steps but nothing.

I also browsed for other ways (and tried them) still nothing.

Hoping to be directed.

Thanks in advance.

Hi mates

I've just instales the latest nightlies (I thought there was no more updates) and the camera now works!!!

Thanks

By the way. I've just realized that there is 2 versions, Vanilla and Deadhly.

Is there any place to find out the diferences?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] bmwdroid:
It's quite easy as the Deathly variant has the "Deathly Adiutor" built in with which you can set CPU max frequencies and many other things.

A description on page one has been written by the dev of this LOS @thompatry whom I will always be thankful.

Vanilla refers imo to the plain google android system which I use on mine.

If you rooted with Magisk, and have the latest version of Magisk Manager, tap the shield icon at the bottom of the Magisk Manager screen. Turn on the switch for Deathly Auditor.

Hi, I have an old P900 around and now I've decided to flash a custom ROM in order to make it snappier!

Do yo recommend me this ROM, or is it better to flash a new one?

Also, is there a very well detailed tutorial on how to flash it? I'll be flashing from stock 5.0.2, and this will be my first ROM flashing, so I actually don't know very well what I'm doing.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] dcarvil:
I prefer this one over the Android 10 ROM you can find elsewhere on XDA because this one gets regular security updates and is more secure (selinux enforcing). The instructions in post 1 of this thread still apply. It is pretty much just a matter of flashing TWRP, then flashing the ROM zip from TRWP. Once TWRP is installed, take a TWRP backup before flashing the new ROM so you can restore if things go wrong.

Instructions for flashing TWRP are at https://twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxynotepro122exynoswifi.html

Since you are already on stock Lollipop, you have the required Lollipop bootloader.

Hello everyone,

I just installed the vanilla version of the lineage os for my SM-P600 (Galaxy note 10.1 2014 WI-FI), seems it's all working fine, but I can't find how to show the recent apps menu.

I've tried tapping, double tapping and holding every button, but I can't find a way to display the recent apps menu.

Can someone tell me what button I should use for recent apps, just to double check that I'm not loosing anything?

Thanks in advice.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] dcarvil:
On a P900, recent apps is the button to the left of the home button. No idea about a P600. This is a P900 thread.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] jamego:
Thank you so much! I just managed to flash TWRP without a problem, now I'm wondering, would it be a problem if I used TWRP 3.5.0 for this flash? And also, seeing the downloads on the first post, I need to download one of the device builds (Exynos o Lineage) but not both, and also the GDrive device builds and opengapps, and install the three of them. Am I missing something?

Also, which build do you recommend me? I'm looking forward to use the tablet mainly to take notes during classes
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] dcarvil:
If you need to use the S-pen to take notes, you might be better off remaining on the stock ROM. I believe you will loose some S-pen functionality with this ROM. I don't use the S-pen so I haven't paid much attention to how it works with this ROM. Search this thread for posts on S-pen functionality.

TWRP 3.5.0 is probably ok to use, but I haven't tried it. I am currently on 3.4.0. The Exynos build is the one I use. I just installed the latest version from https://download.exynos5420.com/LineageOS-14.1-Deathly/v1awifi/ and have had no problems with it.

You don't need the GDrive builds. They are very old, earlier versions of this ROM.

I use the pico variant of opengapps. You can install any needed Google apps not included in pico from the Play Store. Pico includes fewer apps than the other variants, so there is a lesser chance of encountering problems.

If you want to root, you'll need Magisk from https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk Go to the Downloads section, and click on Magisk 21.4. I have not tried 21.4 on this tablet - still on Magisk 20.4. 21.4 should be fine, but if you want to use 20.4 instead it is at https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/v20.4/Magisk-v20.4.zip

The flashing method I use is:

1. Take a full TWRP backup so you can restore if things go wrong.

2. Flash the Exynos build.

3. Wipe (Cache/Dalvik). Probably not necessary, but can't hurt anything.

4. Flash opengapps.

5. Wipe (Cache/Dalvik). Probably not necessary, but can't hurt anything.

6. Flash Magisk, if you want to root.

7. Wipe (Cache/Dalvik).

8. Reboot.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] jamego:
Thanks so much, I have some final doubts, do I need to download the .md5sum file for the OS? Also, for the gapps, is the platform ARM64? And, is there a difference between 9.0 and 10.0?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] dcarvil:
The md5sum file is to verify the integrity of the download. You don't have to use it, but it ensures you don't flash a corrupted file. If you use it, copy it to the tablet along with the zip file, and select the "Zip signature verification" option in TWRP. You might have to rename it from .md5sum to .md5. I've always verified the file on my PC before copying it to the tablet, so I haven't verified in TWRP.

Use the 7.1 and Arm options when downloading opengapps. The tablet is 32 bit, and this ROM is Android 7.1. You can also download the MD5 CHECKSUM file if you want to verify file integrity.
