[ROM][5.0.2][SM-T705] SimplerStock

[GuestK00332]

Version 6.0.1 here

A simple Stock-Based custom ROM. Perfect if you just want a small stock ROM.

Features

• Stock ROM, but simpler.
• Multiwindow working
• Only ~500MB download
• Based on T705XXU1BOL2, latest Asia 5.0.2 ROM
• No modification besides the removal of built-in Samsung apps and languages.

Tester from different region wanted.
Suggestions or requests are also welcomed.
Feel free to use this ROM as base, just a simple credit is enough.

Requirements
Lollipop bootloader. If you're on a Lollipop ROM before then you're good.
TWRP

Install Instructions
1) Fulfill the requirements above
2) Wipe data (might work if you're already on Stock)
3) Flash zip file.

Download
XDA
Owncloud

Post-Install
For root, flash SuperSU or su of your choice.
For Play Store, flash openGapps for ARM 5.0.
For Xposed, use arter97's here. Select xposed-v75-sdk21-arm-arter97-exynos_requestConcurrentGC.zip
To remove the S-Finder bar, or 4 way reboot menu, consider installing Wanam Xposed.

Some features such as Task Manager and Ultra Power Saving Mode doesn't work anymore since the required files were removed. This is not a big deal, since most power user will not depend on those, or have better alternatives.

Screenshots

It's just a smaller Stock ROM, so yea...

Changelog
v1.1

• Removed unused CSC folder
• Remove Gapps - Flash openGapps for play store. Or use fdroid

Have been using this since its release. Nearly 500MB of free RAM on idle compared to the next closest de-bloated ROM. Anticipating gallery nags picassa by replacing it with another gallery app, as well as replacing default home and keyboard with lightest substitutes around (mine are Mini Desktop/ap15 Launcher and Multiling O Keyboard). GApps were replaced by Pico OpenGApps without any problem. Iron kernel also works seamlessly on this. A minor glitch (edited: even on stock kernel) is VOIP on WhatsApp, the other party sounded loud and clear but my voice was muted on the other end. Thanks @iddeen

heya, thanks for the review.
I tried testing WhatsApp call , but I can't reproduce the issue. Can you try the updated ROM and let me know how it goes?

It could be one of those isolated VOIP bugs. I've checked my mic on regular phone call and it worked fine, but I haven't tried other VOIP services.
I assume you haven't uploaded the 1.1. version, because I didn't see any file on the owncloud link and a similarly dated and sized file on the xda link.

Confirmed, WhatsApp calls came through fine on both sides with the 1.1 version. Thanks again, @iddeen:good:

 

[gajgmajna]

fingerprint work?

 

[fariez]

fingerprint work?

I guess it does. The setting is there, but I didn't bother to try, coz I never use it.

 

[mm_scammer]

Can't use playstore plz help, already flash pico 5.0

 

[majdnem]

Dear @iddeen , it is perfectly working for me ... but I am looking for a version, where I can set the screen dpi to420

I can do it on the AOSP -schischu- roms .. unfortunately they have issues I do not like: audio, battery, glitches ..

do you know the solutin?

thanks

 

[ivanox1972]

No solution for total dpi increase. I done it on note 5 and work perfect. But on t70x on 5 and unfortunately android 6 got few app among main fc. So as I know you must work with xposed module app settings which eork perfect but ui is somehow inconsistent and needs bigger work..

 

[ivanox1972]

@iddeen Rom is very good, best I seen for t705 in twz category...
Now t705 official 6.0.1 is out!!!
I hope you will make same rom. thanks

Also have few remarks for current version, to maybe more improve:
1. using app settings module, I got bigger doi on all needed apps, is there any way now to delete somehow middle line on some apps (settings, sms, file manager...) and get more natural (phone) layout on this bigger dpi. And less important, which app is android installer: I got bigger dpi on many apps, but when installing some new one it is terrible small (of course it is not important as installing is very rare, just curious)
2. debloat is done great- just few ideas:
a) you can delete live wallpappers and additional fonts
b) not sure here- maybe all tests (or some) bluetooth, camera, device...etc can be deleted without problem; and stock browser..
c) you left exchange service and deleted e- mail, suggest to leave better both (or delete both)...
And most important please continue with this rom work on 6.0.1!
