[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] gooberdude:
Welcome to the Tab A6 (T280) Xmas Samsung Experience Edition.

Sorry no special Xmas theme, to make it festive this time. Just did not have enough storage space in the system, once I got done. HA!

It is stuffed to the gills, with both Samsung and Google apps. This factory firmware has been fixed with full set of options given on phones and higher end tablets.

Links to download will be added in my 2nd post to this thread, on the 15th of this month. Tic toc, tic toc... will add screen shots soon, to the bottom of this page.

○ All tweaks are done by adding removed Android and Samsung configs & components with the OEM build

○ Most all popular and usefull apps are loaded into ROM, to give the most usable internal SD space for system speed and application use.

○ Reset Settings option to clear system ui settings back to default, if corruption occurs

○ Integrated full featured Photo Studio Editor in Gallery (Phone portage mode), with finger Spen drawing functions

○ Full Samsung keyboard experiance

○ Added lock options, with Face lock in Tablet settings UI, and Google Smart Lock and Samsung Signature lock on phone settings UI. (Note: to revert to non secure lock mechanism, you must clear security credentials 1st).

○ Updated some system packages to allow external app compatibility, such as Click and Go (Tested fully functional) and other apps that run on phones.

○ Cleaned up wee bugs with sorting out the system library, which made the user experience clean and smooth.

○ Notification panel shows full style messages

○ Media Audio is now default on volume keys, using a small system app

○ Hands Free mode, now is functional, as part of the Car Mode feature

○ Original Tablet settings UI is intact, and has no FC bugs, just Themes is broken by Samsung.

○ Updated SManager script menu items

○ All apps but Maps are updated as of build date. Newer Maps is too bloaty, this one works well with both older Drive Link and Newest Android Auto.

If you liked my previous releases, then this one should be one you'll want to upgrade to. You can flash dirty or clean. Just be sure to wipe your caches.

Note, when flashing with apps installed to SD and data is intact... let the tablet sit without user activity for 10 minutes after lock screen is shown, after initial flash. Once you have unlocked the tablet, be aware the tablet may reboot. It will if oat/odex is required to multi dex . It may take 5 minutes to show the lock screen, so be patient.

If you have a Themes Store on your existing launcher from my past builds, then you may want to do a ti backup of the Touchwiz launcher data, and have it for restoring after flashing. You can also create a shortcut on the home screen, which may show it as available when flashed dirty, while the launcher will not show it after flashing.

Yes, I kept the Themes option still active in this build, but... the stock tablet settings UI does not allow it to function for installing any themes. If one wants to use themes, they would need to flash dirty over any one of my past builds, in order to capture a short cut.

This build has some corrected theme support, which fixes most theme issues. But beware, not all themes are friendly, and may mess up your over all look on the system.
