Android Koolkit V2.0.0 Tab3 SM-T217A/T

YOU MUST HAVE ROOT In order to use these tweaks.
I have had reports that it works for the Sprint Variant as well but I am leaving that up to your judgement as I cannot verify without the device in hand.

Instructions for customizing the bloatware removal and build.prop tweaks:
Located in "/files/bloat/nobloat.txt" is a text file named nobloat.txt, Choose "File" - Edit Bloat Removal and make your changes.
To add your customizations simply add the file name of the apk (Case Sensitive), if the apk also has a coresponding odex
file you will need to add the path to that as well following all case sensitive patterns. Be careful when adding apks to this list if you
add an apk that is required by the system to boot you will be required to flash the stock rom and start over from scratch.

To edit the build.prop tweaks use the "File" - Edit Build.prop Settings, make your changes and save the file.
To Edit the sysctl settings use the "File" - Edit sysctl Configuration, make your changes and save the file.
Once you are comfortable that you have your configurations correct you can move on to applying the features
of this toolkit to your device.

Thanks
@oldbbman - for his absolute willingness to test anything and everything under the sun.
and for not running away screaming when he had to reflash his Tab3 multiple times.

Huh. This actually worked for me. These things never work for me. There is a noticeable difference in speed.

Thanks!

Why not make it flashable?

Just a question, I see this lots of things to install and manually run why not make it flashable via CWM or TWRP???

this was designed to work with the three main 217 models since the AT&T model is the one I own i needed to create this package to work for that model.so rather than create two different packages that do the same thing i created it as a script manager based install that will work on all three devices.

Worked liked a charm! One tangible dfference I noticed right off the bat is that I can now record at higher resolution with the dashcam app I use autoboy. Before the script it would freeze when I selected 720p even though when using the regular camera it can record at 720P for autoboy it would freeze. Can't wait for other tweaks to imrpove this tablet. Thanks again for your hard work.

This worked on the T-Mobile version 217T

Ran this script last night on mine "Sprint" version and it seems to have installed but I was unable to locate the files you posted to look for.

    I'm actually working on Version 3, it will also allow removal of all Samsung Knox notification components, I would be open to suggestions on anything you want to see included.
