[ROM][7.0][T810][ABANDONED] CyanogenMod 14.1 for Tab S2 9.7 wifi

[T_I]

As Cyanogen pulled the plug on CyanogenMod, this project will continue under Lineage OS​

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

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 :

• @RaymanFX
• @CTXz

I used @RaymanFX's T815 image to base my cm 13.0 build on, which in turn is the base of this cm-14.1.

Before you start

THIS ROM IS ONLY FOR THE SM-T810

 *
 * 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.

Special Thanks to @RaymanFX for releasing his Exynos 5433 source, and already patching the common sources to cm-14.0, without him this ROM would most likely not be possible!

Nice! Thank your very much for this early build!
I will try it as soon as I am able.

Sent from my SM-T810 using XDA-Developers mobile app

 

[camdadeye291]

GO hard brother, thanks for all your efforts!

I've been using cm-14 since the 20-9 build, it's running pretty stable, although it's even more stable with selinux in permissive. Looks like some contexts have changed a bit in cm-14. (or the camera and some other routines ignore them)

I found 1 game not playing nicely with Nougat, CSR Classics, but the racing set from CSR work nicely, so I think that's a CSR related bug.

 

[NalNalas]

I've had this flashed since last night, and the battery so far has been great. Thanks a ton for this.

 

[T_I]

Fixed camera so it'll work in selinux enforcing (not yet activated) and front facing camera is able to save images.

Updated OP.

 

[ayziaa]

Awesome thank you!

@T_I Thought you might like 2 comments re your really great adaptation of CM14. Have been using your CM13 nightly downloads for about the last 5 weeks on my T810 and was so pleased with the result that I was slightly hesitant about trying CM14, however this afternoon I took the plunge and installed it as per your instructions. First impression is that I can hardly believe how problem free the installation of the Rom and the Open Gapps 7.0 pico proved to be.
I don't have a huge number of apps installed, about 30, but with one exception they are all performing as scheduled and I couldn't be more pleased, the one app that doesn't work is "Set CPU", there is no "forced closure", no error message, it just doesn't work. There are no forced closures of any other app including the Google Play & Services.
One point which might interest you as you mentioned it in your "OP" notes. I play mp4 movies using the app "MX Player Pro" with the Arm 7 codec installed and they play using the HW+ codec perfectly,
Was initially disappointed that "Theme Chooser" was missing from "Settings" but I can live with that considering how well everything else performs.
Once more congratulations on a really superb "port".

EDIT on 09.27.... @T_I I know this point is insignificant and pure "eye candy" but I love the touch ..... I'm talking about when one connects a usb connection from PC to S2 then the "icon" displayed at top left is now "N" (for Nougat ?) instead of the normal CM icon.

 

[samsung_xoom]

planning to attempt with the t710 again?lol

I've had this flashed since last night, and the battery so far has been great. Thanks a ton for this.

How much better would you say the battery life has been?

Would also appreciate input from anyone else whos noticed a difference (good or bad) with the battery life.

 

[crowlaw]

This ROM is working great so far!!

 

[T_I]

planning to attempt with the t710 again?lol

I can run a cm-14 build for T710 to see if that one boots.

 

[samsung_xoom]

I can test it and let you know , in my limited time I have lol

 

[Daruniafx]

This rom is very stable, fast and reliable. The battery life is excelent. I use it as my daily driver since sept. 22!!! (Now i have a sept. 27 update)

Thanks T_I for your hard work!!!

 

[T_I]

Uploaded new image. @RaymanFX got bluetooth working on his device and the fix works on T810 as well. Also CM switched cm-14.0 from staging to release. There is still work to be done, but build shows working bluetooth (at least I can connect a keyboard and that one works).

I noticed crashing phone app and saw one ExchangeServices crash. (don't use both) Updates OP.

 

[lainscerealexpe]

Latest build works wonders after I deleted from /system/app and /system/priv-app all the apks related to telephony/SMS/MMS/etc. for my T810.

EDIT: After some time, it all came crashing down, Play Services didn't like the removal of the packages, and some apps auto-removed themselves. Better wait until dev ships out another build.

Just tried to install the Oct 3 version of this ROM and as soon as it boots a box appears saying "com.android.phone has stopped". No matter how many times I click OK, the message just reappears and I can't get past it. Even have to use the power-home-vol- button combination to power off. This is on a T810 after full wipe, install ROM and install 7pico gapps. Tried the install three times. Coming from cellular south 6 ROM.

 

[nostupidthing]

Please don't forget T710....

I got the same message, but can mute. Don't know where it comes from. I was working on the staging version of cm-14 and switched to the release version. Looks like there are some bugs left. (it's now less stable then with the staging cm-14)

Just by clicking the OK button? Message just pop right back up when I do that.
