Great work dev team! It's so relieving to get all the bloat off a device

I'm really new to this type of ROM and wanted to know if my assumptions are correct...

I'm currently on 8.0 Base and 8.2 Module. Since 9.0 had been released and I want to update, should I flash 9.0 Base in recovery then 9.0 module in Magisk?

If flashing the new base and module is the way to go, I've seen some strange things happen on other ROMs when you don't unhide Magisk before updating. Does anyone know if that's an issue on this ROM?

After hiding Magisk, is it normal to see both icons:

EDIT: Strange... un-hidden icon is always out of date and when you Restore Magisk Manager, there's only 1 icon till you hide again. This isn't the behavior in Lineage OS. How is it done here?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] abun880007:
Its because we add the Magisk Manager as a system app just disable it

I have a stock rooted S6 and I want to use your ROM, but I am a little confused and I am hoping you can help. I want to use the google edition, as I want as close to stock android as possible, BUT looking at the google drive, I see many folders, but I am unclear which file(s) I need to grab. Per the last post I believe I need the files in the directory from my screenshot

but I see no files there.

I also do have twrp installed
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] abun880007:
We are currently working on V11.0. This version of the Rom is a major update and has a new install procedure. More details will be added once released.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] jdmst77:
Glad to hear. I came from 8.2 and after updating base and module to 10.0, I found it strange that I had to flash the module a few times before getting it to take. I'm not sure why but the module installation would abort and fail if I didn't select an option within 2-3 second after being prompted. I have 2 devices and experienced this on both.

Either way, I love being able to take the ax to some of Samsung's bloat and keep this tablet snappy. Looking forward to 11.0. great job devs

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] DrSeussFreak:
This is fantastic, thank-you. First time installing this ROM but watching all the samsung bs apps go away gives my heart warmth!

Only question I have is after I perform an install, I chose yes for 3minit, but changed my mind. How can I remove it now?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] abun880007:
thanks for the feedback, the easiest way would be to remove the Google edition module from magisk, only the module and then reboot. then reinstall the google module in magisk located in sdcard/420rom/Rom_Module_Flash-second_in_MAGISK/
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] valentino90:
Hello

Thanks for the work. I have one question. I m coming from v10 and trying ti install v11. In the instructions u r talking about odin files to install. Where are the files, i couldn t find them. It s not so clear for my understanding.

Thanks again
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] DrSeussFreak:
Excellent, that was the way I had done it while playing around, worked like a charm!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] abun880007:
great to hear, hope you enjoy using the rom
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] abun880007:
yeah sorry we are in the process of creating them for the Tab S6. For now if you remove the v10 Rom Module in magisk. and reboot as you are already rooted you can skip the Odin files.. Download the new Mother Module and then follow the instructions from that point
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] valentino90:
Hello, thanks for the information. After installation, il seems to have a but. Maybe you can help. I m trying to install Disney+ app from the store but it i have the answer that the tablet is not compatible with the app. Thanks for your help.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] waldosmiles:
Thank you so much for all your hard work! I just installed ROM 11.0 and it's so nice and smooth!!! I do have one request however, I have chemo brain, and during the secondary install using magisk, it takes me a little while to read the yes/no questions and the install will time out before I'm able to do it. Is there a way you can extend the time out for the questions so the install does not fail?

Again thank you so much for all your work!

Cheers

+1, this is where i failed installing it the first time
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] exocetdj:
Hi all i have been working on a major update (in addition to the last one!!) where i have moved the rom module to convertor instead of the Mother Module

This will help with install process.

I have also added a rom module backup function whereby your initial rom module choices are saved automatically and you have the option of restoring these choices on the next install should you wish to.

I have this pretty much ready for release but if there are issues with the choices flashing by too quick, ill check that before updating this thread
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] exocetdj:
CHANGELOG V11-V12

- NEW ROM MODULE SETUP BACKUP AND RESTORE - I have created a new Rom Module backup and restore function which will read the setup of the last rom module install (v12 onwards only) and ask you if you want to restore your previous install options. It will also backup any CSC features choices you make. This was not easy due to the complexity of my other function :ROFLMAO:

- THE MODULE BASE CONVERTOR - this will now send the Rom Module to internal instead of the mother module.

-FIRMWARE CHECK - this means that the Rom will not install unless the matching firmware to the Rom is detected (there should be no reason to mix firmwares as this causes issues)

- VOLUME BUTTON CHOICES - I have managed to increase the timeout from 3 to 9 seconds

-some script optimisations and tidy ups

-CTS fix working perfectly and is included as an install option

-everything should hopefully tidy up after itself (eg the convertor deletes itself from internal storage mid flash) but let me know if anything is out of place

INSTALL PROCEDURE - PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOU ARE ON ROOTED STOCK BUA1 FIRMWARE

-REBOOT TO SYSTEM AND FLASH THE MOTHER MODULE (MM) - THIS WILL PLACE THE CONVERTOR IN INTERNAL/420ROM

(TIP!!- IF YOU WANT THE CONVERTOR TO AUTO UNINSTALL THIS, PLEASE REBOOT SYSTEM AFTER INITIALLY FLASHING THE MM - THIS WILL PROPERLY APPLY IT SO THE CONVERTOR CAN KILL IT)

-IN TWRP, FLASH THE CONVERTOR FROM INTERNAL/420ROM - THIS WILL DEBLOAT AND PREPARE THE TABLET FOR THE ROM MODULE - THE ROM MODULE WILL ALSO BE SENT TO INTERNAL/420ROM BY THE CONVERTOR.

-REBOOT TO SYSTEM AND FLASH THE ROM MODULE IN MAGISK. - THATS IT!!! :)

Thank you for this update! Do you have an alternate link? Getting error "Too many users have viewed or downloaded this file recently." when trying to DL.

Edit: Disregard, it's working now.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] exocetdj:
Glad to hear it is working

I have another update coming shortly too - we are now going to patch system files instead of swapping them - no end result difference whatsoever - just a neat trick and a tonne of space saved.

I am just about to release N20U with this new install method in and the zip is over 50% smaller
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] BROSIF:
Nice! I will keep a look out for the next update. How does the App Lock feature work? I’m having issues with is force closing when trying to open it.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] exocetdj:
Hi mate

Thanks for the report and I'll look into that. Not too sure as personally I don't use it but I think it secures individual apps etc
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] BROSIF:
That’s what I thought. I wasn’t sure if something other than enabling it in magisk was needed though.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] valentino90:
Hello, this update includes new march security patch and one ui 3.1?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] exocetdj:

Well it's all happening this week! we will bring you version 13 based on oneui 3.1 and Android 11 as quickly as we can!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] exocetdj:
Rebase to CUA7 is going well and it's a lovely firmware update - the new OneUI suits this tablet to the ground - release to follow shortly (after debugging and testing lol)

The rom zip will be considerably smaller now too as the rom module will patch system files that the convertor copies from the device for systemUI (3minit), wallpaper-res (wallpapers) and SecSettings (logo in settings), instead of replacing them with a modded version

Looking for help, thx
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] nastyneighbor:
Same with both my s6's.

I am grateful for your rom but it has not worked very well since v10 and now I believe you've made it impossible for me to update my tablet to the latest, due to no odin flashable firmware, etc.

PLEASE try and make sure these will install before releasing them and also allow us to download legacy versions with legacy instructions.

Thank you for your work and happy 420
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] waldosmiles:
Thanks for all hard work!! IIm having issues install v12. The install of the MM.zip I'm Magisk works, reboot into skyhawk and flash of converter.zip shows successful completion and reboots to system. When flashing the ROM module with Magisk the install fails saying converter hasn't been installed. Go back to TWRP and install converter. I have done this 3times with the same results. I'm on v11 and trying to move to v12. Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] exocetdj:
" you've made it impossible for me to update my tablet to the latest, due to no odin flashable firmware, etc."

this isnt on mate......................

FIRST OFF THE REQUIREMENT IS ROOTED STOCK TO INSTALL THIS ROM IN MAGISK

I have and only will provide odin files as a courtesy if i have time

IT IS THE END USERS' RESPONSIBILITY TO KNOW HOW TO UPDATE A ROOTED STOCK DEVICE

i'm sorry but we also do test these before release mate - it's normally users who don't know what they are doing with thier devices and don't read the developments in the threads causing issues

i missed out on three hours of development time last night due to this exact f###ing thing lol

everyone has an opinion on what should be provided but my connection does not allow me to upload 6gb files in less than 3 hours so this is why we have moved to the current setup.

It is not my responsibility to update user's devices each month - they can do this themselves by EASILY preparing rooted odin files

1 unpack stock odin firmware

2 copy AP file to tablet and patch with magisk - copy the resulting "magisk_patched.tar" to your firmware folder when patching finishes

3 get your TWRP file of choice and load it onto this website https://cruelkernel.org/tools/bootimg/ - patch it to the date matching your firmware's security patch date - March 2021 in the case of CUB7 - v13 will be based on this

4 Open magisk_patched.tar with 7zip and delete recovery.img.lz4. You then need to rename the TWRP file you date patched "recovery.img"

5 Drop this recovery.img into the magisk_patched.tar you have opened with 7zip

6 extract the vbmeta.img in magisk_patched.tar and set this aside

7 extract the BL file to a folder, delete the vbmeta.img.lz4 which is there and replace that with the vbmeta.img from Magisk_patched.tar from step 6

8 re-zip the bl folder using 7zip.

you now have the stock rooted odin files you can flash in odin for a seamless and data safe update
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] exocetdj:
which device?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] exocetdj:
Also listing

-your firmware

-providing an install log and if you don't know how to - google it

-a screen shot of the installation would be handy too

What am i meant to do with this post otherwise?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] exocetdj:
All this said - the instructions above will be transferred over to the first post as part of the installation procedure which is admittedly in-inclusive of this information.

I stand by my rant though as updating a rooted device should be common knowledge. if not, why are you messing with such an expensive device?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] abun880007:
Hi All just an update V13 based on CUB7 OneUI 3.1 will be released soon, it has a Install procedure and has been thoroughly tested. I have already uploaded the Rooted Stock Odin files which will give you a rooted base to start from with the new rom. If you are already on CUB7 and rooted then you do not need to reflash the Odin files.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] exocetdj:
Thanks for getting those sorted,

And for taking the time out from looking after your newborn son to do so mate!

To All - if there are no odin files with future releases, please make your own! I am considering pulling this project completely if we get any more issues where users exercise opinion over initiative. You have the guide above and have obviously been able to root devices previously so there are no excuses for what i have seen in this thread going forward

Like I said, happy 420!

I admit, my post was part general suggestion but it's still user feedback which always has some value for a Dev and I'm no noob here, but no Dev either. Anyway, I thought the CSC was relevant here, which is why i was hoping for the odin flashable, but i think that was my misunderstanding.

As far as pulling the plug on the project, I do not understand this but it sounds like a personal decision. I suggest you do so if it is best for you but in the meantime I am still appreciative of your work.

Yep i was a little stressed the other day! 😂 weve had people spamming telegram with help requests for operating odin (this is really bad lol). So saw your post at the wrong time tbh.

Still i need people to just think outside the box a bit.

Hopefully the guides i have provided will help going forward where in the situation we cant or dont have time to provide supplementary parts to the main rom project.

This happened to me last nite. I'm still on 9. Drove me cray untill I rebooted. Now I have some random app stop pop-ups, but sharing is fine.
[LG V35 Questions & Answers] wizardofwoz:
I had a similar issue. I had to disable the "direct share" and "nearby devices" under settings > network > sharing panel.

Oddly enough after verifying this fixed my issue I was able to re-enable them and sharing was still working.
[LG V35 Questions & Answers] cjbarth:
This absolutely worked. I'll continue watching to see if the problem returns as GroupMe contacts work their way back into my Direct Share list. I do find it strange this came up after the upgrade. It seems that the upgrade process didn't reset/flush something related to the list of contacts related to GroupMe.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] TJ72:
So just wondering.

Seeing as the MDACompact 3 had Wifi disabled with Tmobile in the UK.

Does anyone know what changes there where to the MDA4 other than the rear of the case?

(and why they do this anyway?)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Markus_Th:
I have a MDA Compact IV from T-Mobile Germany. Its exactly the same as a HTC, beside of changes in back and front cover and branding of cause.

But there are no ther nerfs.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] TJ72:
Aye but with the UK MDAiii they removed the Wifi, so its really the UK version I was wondering about.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Deleted member 368662:
They haven't removed Wifi. The rom has Youtube and Messenger removed but I flashed it straight away. The device is lighter than the diamond and it sits flat on a table.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] suicidal.banana:
it has no sd card slot like the other touch diamonds out there, and it indeed has the fugly grey back.

I still love mine tho :P
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Deleted member 368662:
Touch Diamonds dont have a memory card slot either. And i personally quite like the back, it isnt a fingerprint magnet and its slightly rubberised for better grip and it sits flat on a desk.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] imranbashir_uk:
Definitely not does not have a rubberised back, it’s more of a matt finish then a shiny gloss hence the back is fingerprint resistant.

I was shocked at how much pressure needs to be applied to get the gestures to work. I tend to use the nail as it’s more effective.

Also similar problem to my orbit is that the edge of the screen to the edge of the casing has the tiniest of gaps, but if you get a bit of grit in there, it’s never coming back out!

All in all a great upgrade, I just wished they (HTC) didn’t make so many sacrifices. Think about it, if we had a slightly bigger battery, they could have probably fitted in a micro sd card reader as well. HTC have gone on record saying that adding a micro sd card reader would have added 2 mm to the thickness. Well that 2 mm might have also ment a larger capacity battery!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Deleted member 368662:
If you scratch the back with your nail you can feel its rubberised in some way, not like a car tyre rubber, but ever so slightly. Also if you title it to the side and drag it on the desk you can feel it sticks.

Compromises always have to be made, some people prefer a thiner phone, some people prefer a thicker phone with more features.

I thought it was 4mm?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] TJ72:
So in Conclusion:

Positives are the back gets no fingerprint marks.

Negatives

No SD card slot

Easy ingress of Dirt around screen

No Youtube

No Messenger

doesnt look great for T-mobile customers then really.

..or am i missing something?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] imranbashir_uk:
I think you are missing something.

The SD card slot issue is with all Diamonds (and variants) not just the T-Mobile version

The grit around the edge of the screen is again with all Diamonds (and variants) not just the T-Mobile version

The You Tube and Messenger apps are available through custom ROMs or standalone CAB files so can be effectively ignored.

Personally I prefer the look of the T-Mobile version to the HTC version, and as got got it for pocket change, I like it even more!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Deleted member 368662:
The Compact IV is also something like 10-15g lighter.

So

Positives:

- Sits flat on a desk

- Has a rubberised back that gets no fingerprints

- Is 10-15g lighter than the diamond

- Camera cover doesnt get all cloudy and blurry

Negatives:

- Requires some work to get youtube/messenger and remove pink branding like installing cabs or flashing the rom
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] tim_allewijn:
The T-Mobile MDA Compact IV is in fact the HTC TOUCH VICTOR!!!!

Not the HTC TOUCH DIAMOND!!!

(MDA COMPACT IV AND HTC TOUCH VICTOR both have 192mb ram, Diamond had 256mb ram)

Rest of specs is the same!

See: http://www.slashphone.com/htc-p3702-victor-unboxing-photo-gallery-13880
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] imranbashir_uk:
Yes it is also known as the Victor, but to be honest there is no difference.

FYI both the Diamond and Victor have 192MB ram, the touch pro has 256MB ram.
