[ROM][6.0.1][T710][UNOFFICIAL] CyanogenMod 13.0 for Tab S2 8.0 [EXPERIMENTAL]

[T_I]

As CyanogenMod is no more, this project is abandoned and continues as​

LineageOS 14.1.​

This ROM is EXPERIMENTAL and not ready for daily use at the moment​

Marked as EXPERIMENTAL, as all uploaded images are untested by compiler, as I don't own the device. (Donations to fix this are welcome :fingers-crossed: :laugh: )

CyanogenMod is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community

First I would like to thank the following developers :

• @CTXz
• @RaymanFX

I used @CTXz his T710 work and @RaymanFX's T815 image to base this cm 13.0 build on.

Before you start

THIS ROM IS ONLY FOR THE SM-T710 AND UNTESTED BY DEVELOPER

 * Your warranty will be voided !

 * I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
 * thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
 * do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
 * before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
 * you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.

Instructions

How to install CM13.0

• If you haven't run stock Android 6.x, flash that first with odin. (image won't boot without this step)
• If you don't have TWRP yet, get it from here : TWRP by ashyx
• Download the ROM and the Gapps that are located below to your device
• Reboot into TWRP by holding VOL UP + POWER + HOME on boot
• In case things go wrong make a backup
• After the backup has completed return to home and select Wipe and then Advanced Wipe
• Now ONLY tick Dalvik Cache, System, Data and Cache
• After ticking those, Swipe below to wipe
• Once the wipe has completed return to home and select the ROM
• After you selected the ROM swipe below to install it
• After the ROM has installed flash the Gapps
• When all of this is done, reboot into system, wait, and enjoy CM12.1

How to recover from issues

Looks like the reset to recovery (<HOME><VOL-UP><POWER>) is still broken on some or all T810 devices with this build.

• Press and hold <HOME><VOL-DOWN><POWER> to enter 'download' screen.
• Select cancel <VOL-DOWN>
• Immediately press and hold <HOME><VOL-UP><POWER> to enter TWRP
• Restore back-up made during installation phase

How to ROOT

• In CM 13.0 Enable the developer options
• Select Root access
• Select Apps Only
• Done

Questions and bug reporting

The following questions will be ignored

• Inappropriate questions
• Forced orders, EX. : "PLS FIX!!!!!!"
• ETA's
• Often repeated questions usually by the same user
• Requests that are out of CM's framework (Ex. Adding Samsung Apps)

How to report a bug/issue

Experimental

I can't state this enough, this build is highly experimental. Don't start with these images unless you know exactly how to recover a device.

I've taken the sources of @CTXz, added the proprietary-files.txt I use (used the blobs from T710 stock image... these differ from T815), took the dtb.img from the image I have (test, don't know what the difference is with the one in git, diff reports they differ) and adapted our (T810/T815) kernel config for T710. (enough I hope)

I'm very curious if this image boots. When it does (and hoping for a small miracle, works as expected), I can try the same method for T715.

Downloading right now!! I tested CTXz cm13 first release it was nice despite few bugs especially with tv's apps (in france) hope this one gets success and People join the thread

Sadly it won't boot but i only performed a factory reset and dalvick, cache wipe(no data,system wipe) this was enough for my nexus 7 2013 maybe it's different with Samsung. Notice that it did the same process for cm 12.1 and CTXz cm13 and had no problem.
I have a bootloop on the first screen "Samsung galaxy tab s2 powered by android "

Thanks, then I probably know what went wrong, will do a recompile tomorrow.

I've uploaded the new build with what I expect that gone wrong fixed. (had same issues with T810, after repo sync the common blobs weren't included, resulting in a Samsung logo stuck on display) Updated OP with new link.

Would be nice if you can test as well. I think I'll make an experimental file section tomorrow and upload the gts28wifi images there until we know they boot.

 

[samsung_xoom]

Ill get right on it

 

[mysa50]

Still that same bootloop on latest build

 

[samsung_xoom]

error 7

 

[T_I]

Ah, ok, new try tomorrow, other dtb.img. It's either that or the kernel, will check the kernel config that CTXz used.

I went through tried to change a few things but didnt get far (midnight pushups in the rain suck)

 

[T_I]

Was messing around a bit with my new Moto G4 (no cm yet, want one, so I need to build ) Did a recompile with the kernel config I could find and just the prop blobs that differ from T815 build taken from stock image. When someone feels lucky...

 

[samsung_xoom]

Still same error

 

[T_I]

Still same error

Ok, found the kernel config, or to be precise, asked @CTXz where he placed it in our combined github. Will compile a run with it tomorrow.

 

[samsung_xoom]

Well, thats good i couldnt pinpoint what went wrong on it. Had some time was doing some peeking lol

 

[T_I]

Looks like selinux was disabled in the kernel config @CTXz was using. Build with that kernel is on-line. When this one boots we'll need to have a look at the selinux settings. (As T810/815 use the same selinux policies and those images boot)

Nice, it's good to read that we have something to start with. Issues reported by @CTXz were mic, and camera, nothing more.

Indeed they don't work. Except a few lags it runs nice and has the same issue i had on CTXz build i.e live TV won't work with the applications i use (orange TV and canal+) .
You're on the good way keep going!!!
YouTube app is also really laggy and vidéos don't load well
