[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] Skulldron:
Hello Galaxy Tab s2 Users! Welcome to my thread. For the past few days I have been building a fully modified and upgraded tab s2 ROM. These upgrades include taking apps from the s8 and Note 8 and putting and optimizing them for the Tab S2.

Please follow my install instructions carefully as the ZIP is not flashable.

Requirements:

Android 7.0 Stock Nougat ROM

This ROM is based of the latest UK version of the 7.0 15 December. It's taken me quite a while to make this so please push that like button!

ROM DOES NOT COME PRE ROOTED.

Now what's in this ROM?

Well... Everything you could possibly imagine!

Updated Touchwiz Home to 9.0.xxx (don't remember the full version number!)

Updated Dream Calculator

Updated Dream Calendar

Updated Camera to Tab S3 icon

Updated Dream Clock

Updated Dream Contacts

Updated to newest Gallery (looks amazing [emoji16])

Updated Game Launcher to newest Rendition!

Added Game tuner as system app for further HW Control

Added Kernel Adiutor Mod as Kernel tuner (Synapse wasn't working[emoji24]. Feel free to try it though!)

Updated Dream Messages

Updated to Latest in callui (Basically the phone app)

Updated Quick Connect to Samsung Connect

Updated to Dream Music

Updated Memo to Samsung Notes (So much better [emoji106])

Updated Video List,editor and trimmer to Latest version

ADDED ALWAYS ON DISPLAY

This ROM also uses the N4N kernel by engine95 (Thank you so much for this kernel. You ROCK dude!)

I've also removed a lot of the Google apps to reduce size and further enhance the experience

BUGS:

Well I don't like talking about this but I'll admit there are a few bugs left over.[emoji22]

1.Samsung Account-FIXED

2.Samsung Connect- FIXED

3.Touchwiz Home: Can crash sometimes. FIX-Coming Soon

4.AOD: FIXED

Install Instructions: This is NOT a FLASHABLE ZIP. FOLLOW INSTRUCTION PROPERLY: DO NOT WIPE!!!!

1. Go to TWRP recovery and make a backup of your boot.

2.Then reboot to your original ROM

3. Now with the downloaded ZIP copy the full folder into the directory where you kept the boot backup (NOT in the boot folder. Outside of it) (see pictures). Also download Superuser 2.82. Also copy the folder , not it's contents.

4.Make sure it is in the correct place

5.Now charge your tab and get ready.

6. Make a backup of your current ROM or carry around a copy of lineage OS as a backup in case things go wrong so you can flash and get back in.

7. Reboot to recovery again.

8.if you've done the steps PROPERLY you should see a new file in the restore section of TWRP.

9. If step 8 is fulfilled then now WIPE system,dalvik cache, data and cache

10. Go to the restore option and restore the Dream.T715 folder. (Do not restore the boot you made earlier. That's just a reference point)

11. After the restore is completed install supersu and WIPE dalvik cache and then reboot!

Success. Sorry for the tedious install process. I'm not a very good dev and so don't or probably can't make a flashable ZIP.

Thank you and hopefully you enjoy my ROM!!!!!

Kernel Source:

N4N

https://github.com/engine95

Changelog v1.2

1. Added Google play Games (I felt it was annoying to keep going to the play store to download it.

2. Updated all of the remaining google apps.

3.Added app called 'backlight'. If your HW lights for recents and back fail after a long time of AOD then go to this app and click reset to 1.5 seconds.

4.Debloated a little more.

5.Shortened ROM size. Removed 500 megabytes

6. MAJOR: ALWAYS ON DISPLAY Backlight issues FIXED.

Enjoy everyone!

Changelog 1.4

1. ROM rebuilt using latest U.K sources and every mod rewritten and optimized. This means ROM size has reduced by around 100 - 200 MB and more ROM runs a lot faster.

2. Updated kernel (more of went down to 1.3). This kernel appears to run faster and is more stable. Update to 3.57 manually.

3. Updated some more google apps and made the ROM magisk compatible. This allows install of Audio mods such as Dolby Atmos. DO NOT INSTALL AM3D. IT WILL BOOTLOOP THE ROM DUE TO SAMSUNGS CUSTOM EXYNOS SOUND CHIP. After installing Dolby atmos you should create a blank file and replace audioeffects.config in /system/etc and replace it.

4. Various under the hood changes and bug fixes.

5. New optimal kernel adiutor mod settings will be released soon.

Enjoy another release!!!! (Last one for a while coz of exams) [emoji23]
