Hey secretwolf, will the beast kernel work on this rom?
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] secretwolf98:
You can give it a try.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] tonyduane:
IR Blaster

I didn't see anyone else mention this... Admittedly I only read through 30 pages of this 50 page thread, but is anyone else having trouble with the IR blaster on this ROM? The apps think they are sending a signal but my camera does not see the IR being emitted from the device.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] Adzkii:
are there any custom kernels for this?
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] PurifyPioneer:
Hey. I'm running into bootloops with this rom. I tried the "fastest" version aswell as a version from 31.01.2018 and 16.07.2018(beta) and all had the same issue.

I'm on a SM-T230 which should work as the title lists it or am i wrong ?
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] secretwolf98:
People claim it works on that model, but I am unsure.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] PurifyPioneer:
Yeah, as far as i know this tablet (wifi version) was available with two different soc's. So thats maybe why it won't work.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] Archeronn:
Hi, first off i would like to say great work but unfortunately i cant.

I flashed CM14 on my SM-T230 using TWRP 3.0.0.0 and have done cache, dalvik/art resets before and after flashing but the damn thing just got stuck at the booting screen, waited for 10 minutes, nothing happened. Will try out waiting more and FastestRomV3. Also, which Android version is the FastestRomV3 using? Thanks in advance, need your help :)

Update: Installed FastestRomV3, slept, 9 hours later it was still booting, removed the V3, installed CM11, waited for 2 hours. I am PRETTY certain that this does not work for SM-T230. That is not to blame you of course, it's my fathers device and i have never used a samsung, never will. Awful devices in every thinkable way.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] jubal2644:
Hi guys. I broke the "home button" in my Galaxy Tab 4 T231 (LTE). I just install Assistive touch to go to home. Is it still possible to install costume ROM? I cant press (obviously) POWER+VOL+HOME BUTTON. Is there any other way. Thanks. ^_^
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] elwhiteboy01:
If I were you, I'd look up ADB commands. I don't use ADB too often, but I know you can enter recovery through it. Also, you can use Android terminal app to enter recovery. You need to be rooted already. You just type reboot recovery and it will boot the device into recovery. You have to have granted superuser access already. For ADB I believe it's similar, fastboot boot recovery, for example. You can find the correct commands here on XDA. You don't need the home button once you have your device connected through a USB cable and ADB showing your device under the list of devices. I've used ADB successfully before on a device with a broken vol+ button for example. I'd thoroughly look into ADB if I had your problem. Hope this is helpful to you, take care!
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] rdijkmans:
Unclear if the "booting screen" you're pointing to is the CyanogenMod logo or the Samsung boot logo. In case it's the CyanogenMod logo, please know that after a fresh install it was booting first (stuck at CyanogenMod logo). Hard Powered-Off (5 seconds power button) and Powered-on. After that it booted as normal.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] fidoedidoe:
Hi there

I'm wondering if someone can give some advice regarding this Rom. I'm currently running stock 4.4.2 (rooted) and use app2sd (with two partitions on the sd card: ext4 and fat32) which allows me to run/install apps from the sd card (as my internal storage is maxed out).

Can I ask, does this rom mitigate the need to use apps like app2sd (i.e. does it have native capability to install and run apps directly from the SD card), or will I have to continue to use app2sd (or similar?) once the Rom is installed?

Many thanks!!
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] secretwolf98:
You need Android 6.0.1 or above to run apps off of SD cards. But the tab 4 doesn't have any of those versions.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] X2pacXX:
i have sm t 230 https://workupload.com/file/u6fgMmWG is there a room for that?
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] !jj!:
Hi I just installed the "fastest rom" version and Im stuck on the Spinning Cyanogenmod boot logo. Its been there for about an hour. I have done a hard reboot and it comes right back .

Anyone else have this issue?
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] jms801:
Can it be installed with TWRP or just with odin?

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] !jj!:
Not sure if it means anything but I installed with TWRP 3.2.3 and im stuck in the Cyanogenmod Boot logo
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] secretwolf98:
What model? I recommend TWRP 3.1.1.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] !jj!:
Its the T230NU
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] jms801:
I have the T230NU.

What ROM do you recommend for those who are here? I found the C11 and the C14.1. Which is better, Which do you recommend? I'm a rookie, please, I need your help.

Should ROMs be installed with TWRP 3.1.1?
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] !jj!:
I would wait for the dev to respond it seems like neither one of the Roms is working
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] secretwolf98:
What do you mean, they won't work?
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] secretwolf98:
Yes, use TWRP 3.1.1. I recommend CM 11.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] jms801:
Thank you very much for your answer. I install that recovery and then I flash the zip (ROM) with the recovery.

In a few words what differences do you have with the stock rom?

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] !jj!:
Like I said above all three versions of this rom, V1. V2. and V3 all sit at the Cyanogenmod boot screen for hours.

I have t230nu. I was able to install the ROM cm-11-20180312-UNOFFICIAL-degaswifi with twrp 3.1.1

After booting, it freezes in the logo.

What do I do?
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] secretwolf98:
Yes.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] Deejaydark:
I think its time to report you for false advertising your non working roms. instead of testing them yourself for daily use, you upload non working roms instead. So whats the problem now? I see people installed the TWRP you asked them to install after complaints and still your roms don't work... smh. You sir have failed once again. Stop looking for testers and test your work if you want any props for your work first. Once again I rest my case.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] secretwolf98:
Every time I plan to make a update and release it to the ***PUBLIC***, I test it on my device for at least a hour, and if I need to remove/add/change something, I sure will before I release it. Sorry to burst your bubble. And FYI, I tested the latest update for this ROM. I had it on my device for 2 months. It booted perfectly, I played games perfectly, I browsed Facebook perfectly. Only build I made was last month or 2 months ago (I didn't release it) was broken, due to some changes within the system, that it didn't like, so I scratched that update, and discontinued this ROM. I only build now for the Nook HD (Hummingbird) and the Nook HD+ (Ovation), if that is alright with you.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] elwhiteboy01:
I'm using this ROM and it works fine!
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] elwhiteboy01:
I just want to say, on a personal note, I downloaded and installed all the ROMs available for this device prior to this ROM. And all the other ROMs were laggy and had bugs. This ROM doesn't lag or have any bugs. A perfect ROM for my SM-T230NU I can't thank you enough secretwolf98. If someone is having a problem installing this ROM, might I suggest looking up how to install a custom ROM on XDA! They're very helpful and will guide you through it if you have any problems. ???
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] secretwolf98:
Your welcome.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] insomnia_1098:
also no IR support

Over all it runs smooth, slightly snappier too but the IR stopped working after I installed this ROM.. I was using a SamsungTV app that uses WIFI to control the tv and it would use the IR just to turn the TV on. The TV apps still controls the tv but now I have to turn the TV on manually because of the killed IR in the rom. My stock rom was 4.2.2 on my T230NU.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] jaff29771:
Great rom just downloaded and installed on my SM T230 Nice N Smooth

Thank you so much
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] mixednuts:
Flashed the cm-14.1 ROM from the OP. Runs well. Thank you secretwolf98.

Noticed FastestROM_V3 and cm-11-20180312-UNOFFICIAL-degaswifi on your android file host. Hmm, which one to flash next... decisions, decisions, decisions. :)
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] Yakia:
Do you think we will one day have Android Nougat on Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 ?
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] secretwolf98:
No. I moved on from the Tab 4. I recommend a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 Wifi (2012 edition) (GT-N8013/GT-N8010). It is WAY faster than the Tab 4. It has Android Nougat custom ROMs. I build LineageOS 14.1 for that device, with active development. Here is the same one I have. I recommend looking at this. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Ga...h=item1cbbb355b0:g:WNIAAOSw8zNa8zzp:rk:3:pf:0

It has 16GB internal space. And 2GB of RAM.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] jcinco:
compatibility

i have a galaxy tab 4 with the model number sm-t239

any chance that this is compatible?
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] secretwolf98:
No
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] Raynelfss:
I'm glad you did it. The Tab 4 7.0 was a mistake that could have been avoided if Samsung focused on making a solid successor to the Tab 3, not just another tablet they can sell. And it would have been impossible for you to update the software.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] secretwolf98:
I totally agree.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] mazmorbid:
Just installed CM 14.1 Based - Android 7.1.2, a little confused though, in settings it does say it is Android 7.1.2 but when I went to install Xposed module it wouldn't install, I needed to find an older version for Andriod 4.4 SDK19, so even though it says it's Android 7.1.2 it's just a hack and it's actually Android 4.4 with nothing to do with CM14 other than the launcher ? I find it misleading, having said that though it installed fine via TWRP 3.0.0 with only a few hickups with logging in to my google account and some PageBuddy app crashing on boot (easily fixed by uninstalling the app) it runs fine with everything working as it should, seems a little faster than CM11 (still Android 4.4) so far the best ROM for this device imo, so for that I give thanks to the developer.

For those interested his was for the SM T230NU device.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] mazmorbid:
secretwolf98 how do I change the boot animation ? I have changed heaps before but cant get it to work with this ROM ☹
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] secretwolf98:
Try looking on YouTube. It has been 2 years since I did this, so I forgot.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] TipTopGamer:
Hey There!

I was wondering.. are there any known issues about this ROM? For example does the camera work?

Thanks in advance :p
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] rdijkmans:
To answer some of the most recent questions in this thread:

Correct, this is Android 4.4.4 with some CM14 apps, including its launcher.

Just place a new "bootanimation.zip" in /system/media and (as necessary) set the permissions to rw-r--r-- (chmod 644).

I'm usings the SecretWolf98 ROMs for many months now, and have not come across any issue. Camera works...

[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] mazmorbid:
Yes I did that no joy.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] TipTopGamer:
Thanks :)
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] rdijkmans:
That's strange. It works for me: I didn't like the CyanogenMod bootanimation and overwrote with the stock Android 6 / Marshmallow bootanimation, exactly as I noted in my post above. Do you still see the original bootanimation or no bootanimation at all?
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] secretwolf98:
New build up!

Clean install REQUIRED.

***EDIT***

Make sure to download this by December 25, 2018, and archive it! Because on that day, I will be removing all of my builds.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] Thaur250:
What changes did you make?

I will probably test this rom tomorrow. I let you know how it works.

Thanks for this new build

Best
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] secretwolf98:
Your welcome.

New wallpaper

Updated apps

Removed some apps that wasn't needed

Updated the security patch

Updated the webviews
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] Pix12:
So, the title is styled like a CM port to the T230, with NO mention that it's just a stock mod, it's poor advertising, and it's sad that the only actual port is left to someone who just edits /system/apps/
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] secretwolf98:
Have you read the WHOLE thread? I have also stated about this in PAST comments. I have stated it is JUST stock with CHANGES. So, do you have anymore complaints about ANYTHING that I have stated PREVIOUSLY? So, it is NOT "poor advertising".
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] zitronenmelissa:
Thank You for keeping this up! People with old devices like me are grateful to have an updated rom and some flashing fun apart from mainstream devices and roms :)

About This Rom

Hi Everyone i want to know that does this rom have xposed because on stock you cant install it and does this rom have fm radio?
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] JackIsaac:
First thanks for your supporting us

Then I have sm-t230nu "tap 4 7.0 wifi" android version is 4.4.2 so how to get this tablet up to date with your rom and must I do please ?
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] sherlyghee:
it would be better if sm t231 user get higher version custom rom because of day by day android updats news apps support only from android version 5.0 and smt231 or smt230nu is still in 4.4.4 and there is no any lollipop updates from Samsung i think these tabs are dead now. everything is good with this tab but not any lollipop roms so far, neither official update nor custom rom. i m using this phone since 4 years but bettry backup is stil awesome.?
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] RedWirePlatinum:
Making a name to personalize apps in the startup of the ROM

When I typed in a name in a name for "First" and "Last" and tried to go on, I got a message saying "Unfortunately, Google Account Manager has stopped", but when I didnt type anything for a name, It let me go on.

Nearly thought I couldnt use my tablet because of the error that you can get past lol
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] secretwolf98:
Thanks for the feedback! I'll look into this.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] CaganSeven25:
Hey,

I need to flash this. So,

1: Does it works on SM-T230 ? (Not NU)

2: Does it have any problems ?

3: Which rom should I use in this thread, there is 2 roms??? (please give link if u answer)

4: Do I need to wipe system , dalvik cache, cache, data, storage (I have sd card) and flash normally?

5: Can I install magisk in that?

:confused:
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] Tea Ghost:
I can't download ROM from the provided link.

File: cm-11-20181216-UNOFFICIAL-degaswifi.zip

Then I click "Download", the following message appears:

"OOPS!

no mirrors found."

Any help?
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] slap happy gas pedal:
That link wors fine when i downloaded and clean installed it yesterday and just tried that link again and it seems fine.

>>>> EDIT: sorry, i thought you were referring to the original cm-14.1-20180131-UNOFFICIAL-degaswifi.zip but i see im now attempting to download the newer 20181216 one which is downloading just from a mirror in Quebec.

This (the older 20180131) ROM however some issues on my SM-T230NU, its nice that it is quite fast and those samsung built-in navigation buttons work out of the box so there's no redundant onscreen nav set needed (as occurs the Pixelized OS rom). however the big problem is i cannot edit any desktop widgets, OpenLauncher simply wont enable any edit handles to resize or move anything except icons. OpenLauncher crashes any time i click on the "...miscellaneous" item in its Settings panel.

i will try the newer CM11 to see if its any better (i cant post links so its broken up with spaces):

Looking for a rom to install...

Did you have any luck? I dusted off my old tab 4 and put a new battery in it and want to find a rom that will make it run better. Plan to use it as an e-reader and to surf the web.

Let me know if you got CM11 workding.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] NightmareN8:
Might be dumb question but stupid questions are the ones unasked or so they say. I bought a tab4 today to find its rooted. I would like to try this rom to update it. But don't know the steps to do so. Please someone walk me thru it. Btw it was rooted with king root from what i can tell. Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] fossils-n-dents:
I finally decided to put a rom on my stock rooted Tab 4 (SM-T230nu), and was amazed at the amount of debloat (No Samsung/ Google/ apps).

Using the yearly update in the OP, I lamented not having the final update (I'm using cm-11-20181216), and crossed my fingers after reading many were having installation problems.

I wiped everything, and flashed through TWRP 3.3.1. Flashed/ Booted perfectly the first time with no problem.

The first photo displays the rom stats, the second photo shows the date. Installed yesterday and is running fine alongside Xposed (3rd photo). The extra bonus is my security patch moved up two years...hooray?

The rom is great given the age/ unpopularity of the device. Very light on resources and snappy in response to touch input.

Thank You Secretwolf wherever you are!
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] secretwolf98:
I moved the builds to another team member of mine. He will be starting on it next week.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] Texas_Ace:
Howdy, I am confused. Is this android 4.4.4 or 7.1.2?

I just picked up a T230nu from a garage sale for $10 and would like to update it to be usable as a wifi tablet for the kids but a lot of things won't run on kitkat anymore. All my other devices run lineageos 7.1.2 so I would love for this to match.

Is this the best / latest rom for this device?

It is really hard to dig through the roms in this section since there are so many different model numbers that fall under the tab 4 it seems.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] elwhiteboy01:
This ROM is a design of 7.1.2 but basically still 4.4.4. Even with this ROM, you still won't be able to run certain apps. Samsung has never released 5.0 for this device. And despite speculation, I doubt they ever will. I have been able to use mobdro on it. That's about it. No other streaming apps. The settings menu is the same as 4.4.4. Just an example. Even with all that, I found this to be the best ROM for this obsolete device.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] Texas_Ace:
Thanks for the info, so basically it is a glorified mp3 player at this point. Sucks but oh well for the price I paid.

Too bad lineage doesn't work on this device.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] elwhiteboy01:
You're welcome. I use it for more than music though. I find it downloads torrents just fine lol.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] Texas_Ace:
lol, yeah I suppose it could dot hat as well.

I wanted to run signal on it (it is what my family uses texts) so that it could be a "home phone" of sorts but they stopped supporting kitkat earlier this year.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] fbarcenas:
Has there been a fix for this problem found yet?
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] SKYSHPY:
Helps

ello sir, have a nice day and apologize if I disturb the day right now.

Yes, I have a Samsung tablet tab 4 T231. Now I want to upgrade to the operating system you provide, I should choose which is best for my computer and if you don't mind, can you help me specify how to install the original SS T231 child room as Operating System The act he is providing is not. Because my English is not good, if you can hope you can help me.

[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] joshworx:

TWRP just restarts when I try to flash your rom...
[Galaxy Tab 4 Android Development] retiredtab:
See post #21. Try changing the updater-script from /temp to /tmp.

Almost every *nix I have used uses /tmp and not /temp. Weird why it works from some people with /temp when I'm assuming busybox comes with /tmp.

The ROM comes with busybox.
