FINAL-[ROM][4.4.4r2]p6200/p6210/t869(6Jan2015 BTpatch2)SlimKat build 8.20 Unofficial

daniel_hk · Mar 1, 2014

With a few requests from tab-plus owners, I started building ROMs for tab-plus. I don't want to ignor anyone so built for all models.
I can't reply all post because I don't have the tab to test. However, I tried to answer all PMs as detail as possible. Once a while in these few months, I received a few hostile PMs, calling me names, etc. I might have asked too many questions. I don't have the ability to guess what model or which ROM if they are not mentioned. I don't know why asking for a screen shot, a video or details would be too much for someone.
Anyway, I over estimated myself to support a device I don't have. I have spent too much resource and I don't think I can do this any more. Bye.

*** Lollipop is out so my development for Kitkat is done. As a closure, I included all tab-plus models in this final build ***

Latest patch reported can't turn off. Flash the new View attachment bluetooth-patch2.zip in recovery with fix it. Good luck!

SlimKat was one of the first few released right after the Official Kitkat released. As its name implied, it has the smallest footprint and yet it has some of the cool stuff. I plan to port it for a long time. Although there are still issues in my Kitkat roms, I want to add this to our list. Enjoy!
*** Slimrom is rooted, in any case if root is lost, follow this ***
*** To disable media scanning: Settings > Advanced Options ***

goo.im is up again!
Release Note:
2014/7/8
Just before the WC Semi-final, I updated SlimKat to 4.4.4r1. SlimKat behaves slim and stable as always.

2014/5/16
Slimrom is persistance. It is version 5.1 now! I was thinking about 4.4.3 but seems a bit far now..
In this build, I fixed the Dashclock from Slim. IR is working. Can't find any material for IR support in platform but Smart IR Remote is working. Smart IR Remote is a great app. It deserve a few dollars!

Recovery requirement
** CWM6, TWRP 2.3.1 or above is OK.
Most of the 4.4 Roms require the latest reovery with file_contexts and set_metadata support.I have patch the update-binary to work with old recoveries.

I am so happy that the rotation glitch was fixed at last. Thank you so much for your amazing work. I wish I could donate to you, I was thinking about it for a long time but unfortunately PayPal doesn't include Egypt :/
Let me know if I can help in any way.

hi daniel_hk,

thank you very much for your effort. this is a very good version for this tab.

but there is a problem with google maps. if i start google maps, i get a black screen. the map isn't show. i only see the search bar from maps. i hope, you can fix this.

exists a workaround for the orientation problem with the dialer ? i looked into the other threads, but found nothing.

best regards,

tobacco40

Great work as ever Daniel. It seems the best kitkat rom for our tab. For now the biggest issue I noticed is the default camera app not working. Camera works in Instagram or other camera apps.

rfok · Apr 9, 2014

Thank you so much dear Daniel for your nice job

I just want to use Titanium Backup and restore some of my old apps+data.
But I've got that my device is not rooted anymore, would you help me to know how to root it once again?

Thanks

juniorhxcx · Apr 10, 2014

Go to Settings>advanced options and check your superuser settings. I had to change mine to use TB.

Dear Daniel
I'm experiencing a low performance (sometimes very very low as the device looks like it's halted) on my P6200 and especially lag on page scrolling or switching between apps

Is it something normal?

Your work is awesome at all :good: :victory:
Thanks

Wifi tethering has been there for sometime. Work for my p6800. Probably work for p6200 too.
These kind of things is better trying than asking. With a proper backup, there is no risk.
Good luck!

If it is just after boot, there are many background process in Kitkat. It might take a few minutes to finish, especially those on-line process. Even if you haven't install apks yet, gapps (g+, handout,..etc.) will try to logon to the server.

If everything is settle down and done, it should not like that. If problem persist, check your startup process (disable some if possible).

Good luck!
