New version of Magisk is out! Is it safe to update through Magisk or do we need to wait for the OP to make a patch?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] luattic:
Hi,

You can update throug Magisk without any problem. But you don't get init.d support (if you don't know what is it or you don't need it, feel free to update from Magisk directly).

I juste reading the upgrade process from Magisk dev thread and finally, i don't know if it's safe to do, cause it say "Via Magisk Manager (Only support v14.0+):" and the version is 13.x ... so i don't know if it's ok via Magisk itself.

anyway you can simply uninstall via TWRP with Magisk uninstaller and install the new version (14.x). I'm sure that will be ok.

I'm limited in time actually but as soon as possible, i'll update the patch for Extremly with init.d support.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] dubedollars:
Don't do it it breaks safety net. It was still working on 13.3 until about 20 mins ago.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] soaringowl2145:
Try enabling core only mode and see if that fixes it.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] dubedollars:
Didn't help. I'm still on 13.3 on my Nexus 6p and safety net is working fine. I'll do a fresh install of extremely rom on my sm-t580 tomorrow and flash the 13.3 mod with it and see if safety net works. Don't really need it on the tablet because I don't use any apps that require passing it, but my ocd won't allow me to see red where green should be ??
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] RedNas74:
No problem here. My tablet still passes safety net. Did the upgrade from magisk manager and rebooted.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] BaconQ:
same here! I have no probems so far and everything works fine like always after upgrade to v.14
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Kapsville:
hey there, is it possible to install this rom without a microsd?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] lewmur:
Not unless you have already installed another custom ROM and formatted the data partition to get rid of the encryption. The data partition has to be formatted to turn off Sansung's encryption and that would wipe any ROM you had downloaded internally.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Kapsville:
I installed TWRP, formated the data partition and did a reboot into system. is samsung encryption now ON again?

Edit: i came from stock
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] lewmur:
Easiest way to tell is to reboot into TWRP and choose "Backup/Select Storage". If it is encrypted, the "Internal Storage" will show 0mb.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] AlbertCamus69:
Thanks!

I've been using this ROM for a few weeks now, and it's rock solid! Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] hunter12:
Hi, i just installed this Rom on my SM T580 and tried to activate "okay google" voice search to work from any screen, but under google settings -voice- "ok google" detection i can only select "from the Google app".

I have been on stock before and had the possibility to choose "from any screen" there.

Are there any things i can do to get this settings back?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Vol4Ever:
I am extremely (pun intended) interested in this ROM, but I have the SM-P580 model with pen. I'm assuming the "T" and "P" ROM's are not interchangeable, maybe for additional coding required for the pen. Is there going to be a port of this ROM to the equivalent P tabs? I am successfully rooted, but looking for good ROM with 2 main features:

1 - Since Sammy chooses to give so little onboard storage & then load that with bloat, I want something as slim as humanly possible. Tablet gaming eats up GB in a hurry.

2 - Ability to use SD card as adoptable storage. I know the caveats & dangers of doing that, but it's still the way I prefer to go. My critical stuff stays backed up, so emergency data loss isn't the end of the world if something crashes down the road.

Thanks!

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] luattic:
Hi,

You are rooted, then you can try Package disabler (Samsung auto-debloating) it's not a free version but ...

otherwise you can can use the free version of this app (i include it in my package) and disable all package as you wish (but you need to know the names and uses of them). In these posts you can find a list of disabled/deleted packages used to make Extremely rom you can use it as start point.

Concerning adoptable storage, sorry i think Samsung didn't permit this.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Sage:
loving this rom. though does anyone know how to add the Navbar softkeys back to the screen (and ideally disable the hardware ones?). It's the only thing i dont like about the tablet..
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] luattic:
Hi, thank for your feedback.

Before all, i assume you know what is a system file and how to edit/save it via a root explorer

To enable navbar (onscreen navigation):

Edit: /system/build.prop

add to the end of file: qemu.hw.mainkeys=0

save en reboot.

Ensure the Navbar is enabled and working after reboot before following next step.

To Disable Softkeys:

open "system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl"

Put a "#" before these keys, like this:

# key 158 BACK

# key 172 HOME

# key 254 APP_SWITCH

Then reboot.

On our device, navbar shown as dark icons, non usable for me with a dark background picture, ensure you have a light background to correctly show it.

Attention, if you disable soft keys navigation control before enabling navbar you can't navigate anymore in android system ^^.

Have fun.

So my old T580 had problems with sound having like cracking noises or something bad like that coming out of the speakers and i would also see for like a second the screen would display almost like a different screen. I was using this rom.

Has anyone else had these sort of problems with this rom or was it truly a defective tablet?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Sage:
Do a TWRP backup and try a different ROM. Crackling noises can happen when you blow the speaker by turning it up too load or the speaker gets wet. Not sure what you are saying about the display..
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] luattic:
Hi,

A simply test with headphone can give you some informations about issue.

If at a reasonable volume in the headphone, ther is no crackling, then maybe your speakers don't work well.

I don't understand what you mean about screen ...

as said previously, a backup and testing other roms could be a good solution too.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] tennessee_titan:
My TWRP backup has stopped working. Worked fine until a few days ago. Getting a Backup failed with that "TAR Fork" 255 error code
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] luattic:
Hi,

You can check TWRP's log file to show which "file/dir" make this issue and then, you will manually deleting file/dir before trying backing up again.

log file: -> /cache/recovery/last_log
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Ramihyn:
Just want to let you know that your ROM works like a charm on my T580. Great work.

And for all users who have switched to Magisk (like me): currently it seems to be safe to run the proposed update to 14.0.

Safetynet is still intact on my device, root still works, and it as well worked to install the Magisk Busybox.

Netflix is visible in Google Play, and "UPC Horizon Go" as well works.

Another important hint: if you want to install and use Adaway, remember to activate "systemless hosts" in Magisk Manager and reboot before you install and configure Adaway. Otherwise it is likely to break Safetynet.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] soaringowl2145:
So today I woke up and turned my tablet on and found that it would not boot; it just stayed on a black screen after displaying the Samsung powered by android screen. I managed to get into TWRP and do a wipe and reinstall the firmware. I was using Magisk 14 and am now using SuperSU.

Does anyone have any idea as to what happened?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] tennessee_titan:
My basic problem was an SD card issue. I can back up now, but the backup I just did has taken 16 hours to complete. Still trying to figure out what is going on.....
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] WeiKaiTsai:
I followed all the steps and stuff but I get "updater process ended with ERROR: 7" Can someone help me, please?

Edit: After wiping data system dalvik-cache cache internal-storage and rebooting back into recovery, the issue was gone. Maybe this may help others who encounter the same problem.

Extremely rom's update (T580-T585, Samapps, bootim_patch)

Informations:

Extremely_v2.0bT580 update [T580XXU2BQI9] security patch 20170801

Extremely_v5.0bT585 update [T585XXU2BQI9] security patch 20170801

SamApps update with newer version of photoEditor from samsung and Youtube modded app from [MENTION=3279788]ZaneZam[/MENTION] (thanks to him) .

Magisk patch not supported anymore, instead i've made a simple patch (all rom's versions) to put back the stock boot.img file to permit proper apply of Magisk application and rooting system.

Installation / Upgrade:

Install extremely rom corresponding to your device following the OP instructions (first page).

Upgrading, simply apply installation from TWRP, no wipe needed. If you're a Magisk's user, you need AFTER the FIRST boot, enter TWRP and following steps described below (Installing MAGISK)

Why using SuperSU 2.82 instead 2.82SR4

Simply because when i use others latest versions (SR2, SR3, SR4), i have a big lag on login screen (schema) and i don't like this.

You can install latest version of SuperSu without any other issue ... (if you don't use lockscreen).

Installing MAGISK v14.x

Install Extremely rom like always following OP and let the device rebooting normally at least 1 time before next step.

You must use "Exmely_bT580_bT585_OffBootFile.zip" (download section) with TWRP and ( WITHOUT REBOOTING ! ) install latest version of MAGISK followed by Busybox if needed (choose *ARM.zip file). So, you must put all needed files in your extSdCard before starting operation !

Notices:

What "Exmely_bT580_bT585_OffBootFile.zip" do ?. This patch simply put back the original boot.img file (stock) that permit a correct installation of Magisk, don't forget to not reboot between steps, if not, your data's partition will be erased and partition will be encrypted again. In this case, you need to format it in TWRP.

Each update erase apps installed with SamApps, it's a normal thing, you just need to put them back with it, your generated data with these apps still present except if you delete "data" directory in TWRP.

If multi-users, was previously enabled, it will back to disabled, you'll need to apply the patch again, your others accounts remain present with their owns preferences.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] lewmur:
I must be misunderstanding the instructions. The way I read them, if all I was doing was upgrading from the previous Extremely, all I had to do was a normal dirty flash via TWRP. I tried that and it failed with an error 7. So I tried wiping and then flashing. Still the same error. I do have Magisk 14 installed.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] luattic:
Hi,

I've tried , v2.0t580 install over 1.2t580/Magisk 14, just now without error. but i've need to install magisk 14 again after this (because boot.img was changed).

Which version of device ? maybe an upload issue, can you unpack your zip rom's file to check if it's error free ?

if there is a problem with uploaded version, let me know, i will upload it again.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] lewmur:

EDIT: after lot of try, no way found to clear the famous "1", but like previous installation, it disappear alone after some times, really i don't know if it's a cause of my manipulations or simply a time out system but no more "1" on top right corner. Wait and see ...

As i saw the App Draw, i had a big smile on my face because there are only a few apps :)

But i have a problem with the Play Store. If i click "install" it is force closing...

And then i thought "OK, lets install opengapps ARM/7.0 nano". But same issue too...

If i want to use Google App, search for something and press Enter, the app is Force Closing too :(

I can't use any Google app.

I hope you can help me.

Hi,

The first time I built this rom several months ago, I had tried to completely remove the official google apps and replace them with openGapps.

And I had exactly the same problem, so I finally opted to keep the google apps of origin and dropped openGapps.

I suggest you use the original google apps and therefore reinstall the ROM on top, it should work, otherwise a re-installation after a full wipe would be the last resort.

I hope this will solve the problem.

Is it safe to flash Xposed for this ROM or should we wait for the OP to make a patch for us?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] bigzdog:
I flashed Xposed without issue. However I wanted to use MinMinGuard, but after activating it, the tab would forget all bluetooth devices after a few hours. Not sure if that is a deal breaker for you

Hi,

Sorry, i haven't enough time to completely test Xposed framework, and to be honest i don't use it ...

i've just tested the installation via TWRP and with latest Magisk installation (not tried with SuperSu but there is no reason to does not work)

I've used this version (latest at this time for our device) for security i've made a backup so, i've clean dalvik art cache like always:

Xposed_ARM_skd24

Informations, How to, Why using it

I haven't got any problem to install framework.

But, GravityBox doesn't want to work.

I'm not familiar with Xposed, and i can't help you more than that.

+1

Happened to me twice this week with version 'Extremely_v2.0bT580 update'. Had to force a reboot with the key combo, one time this reboot was enough and one time I had to clear dalvik cache + cache :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] luattic:
Hi,

That depend on apps used, when i play with some of these close to the system, i got that behavior but never along a classic usage, the last time a got this boot issue, i was testing Xposed, Magisk an SuperSU in trying some combinations to trying to make GravityBox working, or when using some plugins from Magisk.

It would be interesting to know what kind of apps you use and if you use magisk or SuperSU and the manipulations done before issue.

Internal mount SD card

I was wondering. Will this rom help me to mount an SD card for internal use? Samsung seems to have blocked this feature, but I need it desperately. The T580 is a great device, but I don't understand why Samsung wants to limit the user to its internal 16 GB space

Offtopic: Or is there a different way to get SD card mounted in my T580?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] hansxl:
It's my wife's tablet and it happened once to her. I always ask what she did before and she always says 'nothing, it just happened':D

One time I had the same after doing my usual stuff like making backup with TB, cleanup with SD Maid and updating app via GPS. Btw, I do use magisk.

I guess I have to wait till it happens again and see what happened before that. :)

Hi, a classic clean up with sdmaid cannot produce this, same with classic backup using TB, (i want to mean no specific system components wipe or others like that, i use these too currently).

Hi all,

I think i've softbricked my tab :(

i tried to remove magisk with uninstaller zip through twrp.

I forgot to first flash the zip to restore original boot image

and since come the troubles:

- the tab says integrity can't be verified and asked me to reinitialize ==> it failed to reinitialize after booting twrp, twrp can't mount data

- i've tried to boot to twrp, it fails because it can't mount data...

i'm a bit stuck:)

Any idea?

Thanks for your ideas/replies/etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] luattic:
Hi,

1st of all, your data partition is formated with encryption on, your old datas where deleted now ...

caused by a boot using original "boot.img" from official samsung stock rom, certainely it was puted back by Magisk during uninstall process ...

Now, you just need to format your data partition with twrp (Wipe/Format data/type "yes") and without any reboot, then install custom rom, this will install superSU and disable encryption. Then your device will boot correctly
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] luattic:
Hi,

You can try this Extremely rom or UL rom from The Flash (link in the top of the OP) as you want.

There is no issue rooting sm-t580 or sm-t585 using SuperSU or Magisk latest version, just some precautions to have as always.

Please to avoid any issue, follow correctly the OP steps ...

If not, install Stock rom then you can restart all from "zero" ...
