Well. Since most of the roms are build on a certain version.

Would it jack everything up to try to update ?

The goal for me being just having whatever is considered the latest & greatest version available for the tablet itself.

While still having root & xposed

Would updating essentially take away everything the rom had too & make it kinda pointless ?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] glockman4519:
Yes it may "Jack things up"

No, you will just have the latest stock rom and recovery, a pure stock experience, Thats all.

I've tried the latest update and there was nothing in it that made the system any better in my opinion. If you need to have the latest update you are more than welcome to download and install it with odin. You can even use the the tools that I used to try and get root and Xposed. But I already tried tbe latest update and made a flashable zip of it and had severe lag and battery drain. So I will try again on the next update.

I don't update my rom to keep up with the other roms in this forum, just to say that its the latest and greatest. The rom update must have something that makes it better than the rom I am currently on or why bother? Why update to be on the latest if you loose key functional features? No,I am happy with the way Ghost Project runs the way it is. When another update is released I will try again and if it tests to be up to my standards I will release it for public use. Until then though, there are other roms out for this device that I'm sure are updated as you want and you are free to use any of them. My goal for Ghost Project was to have a rom that really gave me the best performance while extending the battery life substantially and I have done that with my roms. The latest security update is not my #1 concern. That is why there are more than just my rom, because people like different things in there roms.. : )

Thank you for posting.

No Wifi 2nd Attempt

First try, no wifi. Second try, still no wifi.

This is a Galaxy Tab A SM-T350

Build number: Ghost.Project.V1.2.T350XXU1BPK2

Help, guys! How do I fix this?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] c_86:
By reading the instructions. You have to be on STOCK bpk2 before flash BPK2 ghost project....

I checked the files I downloaded and it looks like I picked the wrong one out of the 3 different ones there. We'll see though. I'll update this reply with the results, assuming they're favorable and I won't need to bump the topic.

Update: Success! I must've accidentally picked the wrong stock firmware of the three provided.

I think he's asking if this rom will work on T-355. I'm curious to know the same thing. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] imatool:
Not sure if software related or my battery is just dying; however when playing battery heavy games my tab is now restarting with 70% battery remaining.

I've tried doing a full drain and charge, also a battery reset.

From 20% down it can get stuck in a boot loop once it tries to reset. However once charged it will work fine again.

Any ideas? Is the battery already dying?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] glockman4519:
Sorry but that answer would be no. This only works on the SM-T350.

Thank you for clearing up his Post for me... Much appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] glockman4519:
I have no idea why you are having battery issues like that. I am not having any of those issue and have had no other posts commenting on severe battery drain like that. Are you running Xposed? And if so, what mods? What apps do you run that eat battery like Google apps? The force shut down and reboots are also nothing that I it anyone else has had so I have no idea why that would be happening either.

You mentioned that you were gaming very heavy when this happens. Which games were they? Did you change any kennel settings? I don't use this tablet for graphic ingestive games because I realize the limits of this device. It didn't have the processor power, ram or even GPU for have graphic kind of games. The most graphic intensive game I play is Minecraft and several Solitary games.

This tablet was meant for media consuming, social media and basic surfing. It was never intended to be a contender in the gaming tablet market like my Huawei Media pad or my Nexus 9. I know those limitations and don't push the boundaries too much last that.

I would try a clean install before doing anything else. If that doesn't work than I would install one of the other couple of roms in this forum and run the same games and apps and see what the difference is. I have always said that no 2 devices are the same. What works on my device or even several other of the same devices may not work on yours.

Good luck and let me know how it works out.

Quick question my bro has tab A but the build number says MM-T350 is that the same as SM-T350?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] glockman4519:
No clue. It has to either be a bad download or the TWRP version you are using.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] glockman4519:
That is the build number and not the model number. Have him look under settings/about device/model number and as long as it says sm-t350 it's good to go.

I did everything but it's not actually Permissive.

Why is my SElinux still set to enforcing? I can't use Tincore Keymapper without Permissive! What did I do wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] glockman4519:
Check your messages, I just answered your PM.

But for anyone else, here is a bit of information regarding permissive kernel in Ghost Project ROM. As stated in the OP, only my builds that have [MENTION=4899305]ashyx[/MENTION] custom kernel in it will have a permissive kernel. That would be the first couple builds posted. This is copied from the OP and is what you need for a permissive kernel build....

-Since this is a stock rom build, gapps are included so no need to flash any gapps.

#####Flashing instructions#######

###MUST BE ON MARSHMALLOW BUILD ****T350XXU1BPE3******#######

So, if you are on a lollipop build (5.0.1) you need to update to 6.0.1 and have TWRP installed........

1. Make a backup onto your external SD card or on a PC using TWRP recovery. This is a very important step as things do go wrong. You have been warned.

2. Wipe. I recommend a clean install with all 4 major wipes done (system, Cache, Dalvik Cache and Data)

3. Flash "Ghost Project v.1 6.0.1 t350" rom zip.(or which ever one you decide from the list)

4. Wipe both Cache and Dalvik Cache

5. Reboot to system and profit.

The first boot will take a long time to boot. Put the device down and walk away until it boots (could take up to 15 minutes ) but most likely around 7 to 10 minutes. That is because all files are deodexed

Also I'd you are on a newer build you will have to Odin back to the build posted in the quote above.

I wanted to make mention to the Microsoft apps that I take out of this ROM can all three be reinstalled by going to the PlayStore and looking for Microsoft apps.

Sent from my uncustumizable LG-V10 VS990
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] glockman4519:
The reason I brought up he Microsoft Apps is because it was brought up to me in a post on one of my videos that I should leave these apps in my ROM since they come pre-installed with the stock version (firmware) from Samsung.

I have a couple responses to this, first being that this ISNA stripped version of the stock ROM. All apps that can be removed and not effect functionality gets taken out so you can make the ROM your own. Hence the reason we root our devices to begin with. This not only makes for a very light weight rom but also let's you battery breath better because you have controls over the apps that you install as apposed to supplied or system apps.

The other reason is because this is my rom, that I built for me, the way I want and think a ROM should be. After testing for several days (actually more like 2 weeks) I decided to share my rom, as is, to the public. So it's my rom. I am not going to add in to system any app that you can get from Google Play Store.

As for updates, I am keeping a close eye on any update thrown out there by Samsung and each one I have applied my Ghost Project treatment to them and then tested. But the latest one released back in the spring would hardly run. Running stock, with alterations it was a battery hog. Scrolling and overall smoothness was lackluster too and even in some cases were forcing apps to shut down. So I stopped development on it. It was a stinker. So I will wait for the next update and when or if another one drops, I will again attempt this all over. So we will see.

Hi, after flashing newer \twrp_3.1.0-1_sm-t350_18317.tar when I tried to bootup in recovery mode for some reason its going in to black screen I dont know if there is a bug, there are other uses having same issues with that newer twrp, so I went back to older one which has bad TWRP reboot loop, but it at least it wont boot up in black screen, I was trying to find the answer which I couldn't find one, looks like ashyx, isn't active on this anymore.

Okay folks, be easy on me.... I haven't flashed/rooted Samsung devices in years (since the S3 in fact !!). My wife is handing her T350 down to our daughter to replace her finicky Lenovo tablet and I'd like to root this Samsung. I've downloaded ODIN v3.12, TWRP v3.1, and am reading as much as I can. The tablet currently is build MMB29M.T350XXU1BQD1 and looks newer than builds referred to in this thread (?). I do have XAR-T350XXU1BQD1-20170502134233.zip (from the OP/links above) as a back-up. This is the stock Samsung ROM, if I'm not mistaken.

If I read correctly, the different Ghost builds have prerequisites based on the existing build on the tablet ?

I am going to re-read the OP to try and decide which version to go with. My preference is stock performance (or better) with improved battery life. Open to suggestions, of course ! Are there versions that I CAN'T use ?

Thanks in advance !

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] SlothlyDX:
Usually that means you aren't on the latest firmware/kernel. You need to be on BPK2 or wifi fails.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] hallstevenson:
Anyone? Any feedback on which build I can/should use?

I did get the tablet set up with TWRP and then flashed SuperSU. After that, I de-bloated it to some degree but not sure what all I can remove vs what I should leave.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] glockman4519:
That all depends on the firmware you are in right now. If you don't want to fkash another stock firmware first than you need to match the firmware you are on with the builds that I have posted.

Personally, I run v.1, my very first build. It seems to have the best battery life for me.

As for debloating it even further, if you Google debloating Google, the are thread out there that have some common apks that you can safely remove. I would freeze them, one at a time in TB first and if you have no idea them you should be able to uninstall it completely in either TWRP,a good root file explorer or even a good system apk uninstaller.

I hope this helps. If you read the OP, I have listed which firmwares go with which build too.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] glockman4519:
I just wanted to mention that I do try to pop in from time to time. I have been very busy with builds fit my Nexus 6, 6p and now the OnePlus 5. I am still going to try to keep this tablet up to date but as mentioned before, if the update didn't run to my satisfaction after modding it I will not continue with that update. I am currently waiting for the next update that Samsung drops for this tablet and as soon as one is dropped, I will start to work on it.

You can always reach me in a PM too or go to my Google Plus community and leave a post.

I am seriously considering moving my rom to my Google Plus community too. I will give you all a heads up if I do. XDA is not like it used to be. This thread gets left alone for the most part but there are those that like to not follow the rules and it seems they get away with it a lot. I can fully understand why developers are leaving XDA in favor of Google Plus or even Telegram.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] hallstevenson:
Thanks for the feedback. It appears that the firmware I have is newer than those listed so in that case, I could use any ? I just can't use one that may be built on a newer firmware, if that were the case...

Max battery life is probably my main preference so I'll likely go with the same as you. Thanks again!

Booted, but not quite running properly.

I got this to install and boot up, but I can't enable WiFi connectivity. I have a Tab A - Model#SM-T350. When prepping it for mods I was not able to find the OEM Unlock in developer options, it simply was not there. Could this be causing my problem?

Read earlier post about Wi-Fi issue. Sorry I missed it before.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] glockman4519:
You installed the wrong Rom then if your WiFi isn't working. You have to have the same firmware already installed on your tablet before you install the Rom of choice. That is a Samsung thing with this tablet. OEM unlock isn't there because this tablet does not have a locked bootloader. All you have to do to install a custom recovery on this device is to install it with Odin. No unlocking of a bootloader is required, hence the not finding any reference to OEM unlock in System/settings/developer options.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] glockman4519:
I have moved all further development to the "Ghost Project Roms" Google Plus Community. I can answer any questions you may have there. It will be a "Noob Friendly" community where any and all questions can be posted. Also, since I get notifications upon any post, I will be able to get back to you all a lot quicker.

I rarely visit this thread much lately and since I am going to try to update this rom I want it to be done in that community.

Thank you all who run this rom and I assure you that as long as I have this tablet, I will continue to support it, but not here in this forum. Nothing against XDA either as they have been a great source of information for me for a long time.

Hey man thanks for ur build. Im in u.s.a. and running stock latest nougat build then i flashed ur rom. I dont have wifi. I already know the issue lol. I dont have windows or mac im running straight linux. Heimdall dosent work and im trying to get wifi back on any help on what i should do would be appreciated. I flashed jazz rom before this no wifi then evervolv and wifi was working My goal is to stay stock but running a debloated rom. Its weird that evervolv will run even though its marshmallow on latest nougat. However other roms will work but no wifi any help would be appreciated. Is it possible to take the latest stock img debloat and make a flashable twrp zip
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] glockman4519:
Edited:

Ok, I was looking on the Jazzrom thread and see done of the issues you are facing. I never flashed the latest release from samsung that has the WiFi issues. The one I posted and flashed via Odin works fine. The issue is my build with Magisk included are causing Wi-Fi to lose its saved passwords and you have to manually add in the password on each reboot. So I stopped trying to fix it and just recommend using GhostProject v5.0 if you want to stay on marshmallow. But if you flashed the firmware, that is causing wifi to crash, with Odin then the only way to fix this is to flash the older firmware with Odin. You will need to find a friend with a Windows PC.

Earlier response:

My 5.0 build has working WiFi. The later builds with Magisk included does not. Flash v5.0 and if you want root, flash Magisk lastest build. Adding it in with the build using superR kitchen was breaking the wifi remembered password input so you would have to manually reconnect to your WiFi on every boot. That's one of the reasons I gave up on the latest update from Samsung. But GhostProject v5.0 is stock and debloated with out root. Adding root after the flash will not break WiFi either.

But like my other posts, I highly recommend using [MENTION=2333118]jazzes[/MENTION]pesso build "jazzrom"... It is an outstanding rom and does not have any WiFi issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] glockman4519:
What I found was that the latest update from Samobile.com , when flashed via Odin is not backwards compatible. The other nougat roms were. So if you updated to the latest T350XXU1CQJ5 XAR and didn't like it for any reason and decided to go back, you have to flash that firmware before that wish is T350XXU1CQJ1 or earlier. That will get your WiFi back. And you must flash that via Odin.

I have a couple builds out already on the latest firmware but am still having issues with the device remembering the Wi-Fi password on a reboot. So until I can figure it out, I am done building. It is either am issue with superR kitchen or something in the debloat process.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] blakwolf:
I have had WiFi password issues for at least a year now. I suspect it was a debloating issue, but haven't been able to find any clues where to start looking.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] glockman4519:
I'm going to build one tonight with no debloating at all in it and see what happens

Then if the WiFi works I will manually debloat instead of using the debloat ROM option in the SuperR Kitchen
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] blakwolf:
Awesome, keep us updated! I just thought I had been overly zealous disabling system services.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] glockman4519:
Nope, it's in the debloting somewhere. I have tomorrow and Thursday off so I will be testing then. Until then I highly recommend [MENTION=4758472]jazzespresso[/MENTION] Jazzrom. You will have to flash the older firmware with odin first, if you updated to my latest build our you will have no Wi-Fi at all...lol...
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] glockman4519:
Fixed.. Finally figured out that it was the auto debloat script in the superR Kitchen that was causing the issues with the Wi-Fi remembering the password to the default Wi-Fi. What that means is, once you set up your default Wi-Fi, if you reboot it get disconnected, it will reconnect without you having to put the password back in. My last several builds were plagued with this issue.

As soon as I finish testing, I will post the rom on my Google plus community. I do not want to pull any attention away from Jazzrom. I still think that Jazzrom is a superior rom and I highly recommend that you all use that rom. He knows what he is doing. I am learning this and am going to make mistakes on the way.
