After a ton of hard work and determination Team Freeze is excited to post our first rom ever for the Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 (SM-T520)!

This rom is completely stock with the exception of being Rooted, DeOdexed, Debloated, Zipaligned, and lastly having removed all things related to KNOX.

  • Rooted
  • De-Odex’ed
  • ZipAlign’ed

How to Flash This Rom:
***Attention if you proceed your warranty is void. Do it at your own risk. We are not responsible for any broken or bricked devices.***
  • Install TWRP using Flashify (Must be rooted) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgollner.flashify
  • Wipe everything! Seriously, it will fail if you do not do this!
  • Flash the rom and enjoy!
  • Special Thanks To: @scrosler for providing an excellent guide for beginners like us to build a stock rom. This would not have been possible without him at all! Also very special thanks to Gunthermic from (Team Average Joes) for teaching us how to troubleshoot and fix problems with my rom. He got us started on this and showed us @scrosler’s guide to build a stock rom. He has helped us so much through this entire process especially by getting the updater scripts working for the rom. Before thanking us thank those two first! :)

Known Issues:
None as of right now!

Donations:
Well since sh0cksquatch is only 16 years old and I (ik4evr) am 14 I do not have a paypal. BUT is you really want to send us a donation how about getting us a Google Play Gift Card Online. (Send us the code in a PM or something) Again, donations are not required at all!

Requests:
If you have any requests please tell us and we will gladly address them!

Notes:
For some reason after installing you have all of the bloatware re installed make sure you wiped everything in TWRP! Also, make sure you are not checking the option to restore data in the OOBE setup.
Wi-Fi may experience a very slight hang only once when you first setup. However, it may not apply to all people.

Micro SD Cards

Does this rom do anything toward fixing the problems with MicroSD cards in Android 4.4 I am looking for a way to have full control over my 64gb card again on this tablet. If this rom does not do that and you know of something that does please let me know.

If I wipe everything using Advanced Wipe in TWRP that includes internal storage, where the rom is stored before installing it.. If internal storage is wiped how do I flash the rom with TWRP? I can't flash it from my PC, I guess I could ADB sideload it but that is a lot of hassle. Does internal storage really need wiping?

Confused noob. Bought my first android device a few days ago.

Edit: I have no external storage yet.

On the internal storage are a lot of samsung files stored.
So without wiping the internal storage you will get a LOT of samsung bloatware back...
But it should work, flashing without wiping internal storage.

The ideal situation is to have your ROM on the external card/storage so you can wipe your device completely and start with a clean fresh ROM.

Aight, I went to a friends house and borrowed his external sdcard so I can flash your rom and try it out. Thanks for the reply! Doing this mainly to get rid of the bloatware.
Working perfectly, only thing I've noticed is an odd graphical glitch now and then. Mainly when turning it on (during samsung model display) or when I take it out of sleep. Should one be concerned? Seems to work fine other than that. Also flashed cybertronics v5 kernel

download latest version of flashify app from playstore

Then load twrp recovery from in flashify. Then pick a rom ..I suggest GraveD rom for t520. The best so far IMO.
