About CM

CyanogenMod is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts. CyanogenMod does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.

All the source code for CyanogenMod is available in the CyanogenMod Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to CyanogenMod, please visit out Gerrit Code Review. You can also view the Changelog for a full list of changes & features.

Important information

You need a recent TWRP version to flash this ROM.

Installation

First time installing or coming from another ROM

• Copy ROM to SDCard
• Copy Houdini to SDCard
• Copy GApps to SDCard
• Boot into recovery
• Backup EFS partition
• Wipe -> Advanced Wipe -> Dalvik Cache + System + Cache + Data
• Install ROM
• Install Houdini
• Install GApps
• Reboot
• First start takes a long time

Upgrading from earlier version of CyanogenMod 12.1

• Copy ROM to SDCard
• Boot into recovery
• Install ROM
• Reboot

[OPTIONAL] Converting filesystem to F2FS (thanks @michiil)

The ROM has F2FS support. You may want to use it instead of the default (EXT4).

This will delete ALL files/data from your tab.

What you will need: A working PC and a working USB cable.

1. Install the most recent Recovery
   Download the most recent Recovery from the second post. Flash the zip file in recovery. Back in the main menu press Reboot > Recovery
   
2. Format Data and Cache to F2FS
   Wipe > choose Cache > repair or change file system > change file system > F2FS > Swipe to Confirm
   Go back and repeat the same steps with Data. I got some error messages when formatting Data but they don't seem to be a problem.
   Back in the main menu press Reboot > Recovery
   
3. Install Rom + Houdini + Gapps
   Connect your tab to your PC and copy the zip files on the tab.
   Flash the files, reboot and enjoy :good:

How to get back to EXT4

You will again loose all files/data on the tab.
Just repeat Step 2 but use EXT4 instead of F2FS.

What's working

• RIL for P5200 (data, SMS/MMS, calls)
• GPS
• 2D/3D acceleration
• HW video encoding/decoding
• Screen cast (miracast)
• Sound
• InfraRed
• Camera
• Wifi
• Bluetooth
• Sensors (and automatic brightness)
• Smart cover lock/unlock
• Multiuser
• SDCard, USB OTG
• Tethering (USB, Bluetooth, Wifi)
• F2FS and exFAT

What's not working

• Chromecast
• RIL (for P5220)
• MHL
• Secure videos/DRM (Widevine, Google Play Movies...)
• HW audio decoding
• SELinux (disabled)
• You tell me

How to root

• Go to 'Settings/About tablet'
• Tap 7 times on 'Build number'
• Go back
• Go to 'Developer options'
• Tap on 'Root access'
• Select 'Apps only' ('Apps and ADB' if you plan to use it in adb shell)

How to help

When something is not working correctly, in addition to common informations, I may ask you to provide logs. There are different kind of logs and it's not always easy to get all of them. For this, you can use SysLog (available on F-Droid or Google Play.

There is currently a bug in the app. Download it from AndroidFileHost. Use this patch if you want to compile it yourself:

diff --git a/app/src/main/java/com/tortel/syslog/utils/Utils.java b/app/src/main/java/com/tortel/syslog/utils/Utils.java
index 40d41b8..80ae55c 100644
--- a/app/src/main/java/com/tortel/syslog/utils/Utils.java
+++ b/app/src/main/java/com/tortel/syslog/utils/Utils.java
@@ -144,7 +144,7 @@ public class Utils {
 
             Log.v(TAG, "Path: "+path);
             //Make the directory
-            if(!outPath.mkdirs() && !outPath.isDirectory()){
+            if(!outPath.mkdirs() || !outPath.isDirectory()){
                 throw new CreateFolderException();
             }

Make sure to root device before using this app.

To get the logs:

• Start SysLog
• Click on 'TAKE LOG'
• Once log is taken, SysLog will try to share the resulting file, just cancel
• Send me the file /sdcard/SysLog/[YYYY-MM-DD_HH.mm]/[YYYY-MM-DD_HH.mm].zip

If you left 'Scrub potentially personal information from the logs' checked, you should be safe.

Note
There is currently a bug with HW video decoding/encoding: you can't have both. By default, the ROM provides HW video encoding but partial HW video decoding.
If you want full HW video decoding, you can flash hw_decode.zip (you will however loose HW video encoding). Fixed in alpha 11.

A bug appeared in Alpha 13 causing voice calls (in P5200) to be muted. It will be fixed in Beta 2. In the meantime, you can flash audio_test3.zip after flashing the ROM. Fixed in beta 2.

Hi! Glad to see a new thread by you!
Just some Thoughts - in "/common-overlay/frameworks/base/core/res/res/xml/power_profile.xml"

<item name="battery.capacity">2100</item>
maybe 4000? 
and 
<array name="cpu.speeds">
max value for us is 16000000 and min value is 800000 i think like this:
<array name="cpu.speeds">
<value>800000</value>
<value>933000</value>
<value>1200000</value>
<value>1333000</value>
<value>1600000</value>
</array>

And for Intel platform we need 2 more files: thermal_throttle_config.xml
thermal_sensor_config.xml but i dunno how correctly it will be used by CM frameworks...
P.S. for open\close reaction on case we can try add <bool name="config_lidControlsSleep">true</bool>

Is there a way to make the button lights only light up when you touch them and not light up every time you touch the screen?

Hi! Glad to see a new thread by you!
Just some Thoughts - in "/common-overlay/frameworks/base/core/res/res/xml/power_profile.xml" ...

Thanks! Good catch, I never edited this file, just took the one from stock ROM...

And for Intel platform we need 2 more files: thermal_throttle_config.xml
thermal_sensor_config.xml but i dunno how correctly it will be used by CM frameworks...

I'll take a look. Thermal management is on my todo list.

P.S. for open\close reaction on case we can try add <bool name="config_lidControlsSleep">true</bool>

It won't work, these devices don't have lid

I don't think so. This would require CyanogenMod changes (if it is even possible).

 

[Holzi001]

Thank you for this great ROM.

Is it possible to make the magnetic Sensors work? If i open or close my Bookcover the Display doesn't turn on or off.

Thanks for the reports, I'll check this.

It seems we are not alone: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=166828 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59934854&postcount=5133
I noticed some bugs concerning fonts, it may be related.

+wifi hotspot not working
Not working Dialer(do not call)

These two are hard to try for me as I don't have a P5200 device (but I will investigate). Maybe @Angel_666 could take a look ?

This function is not included in CyanogenMod (afaik). You can try to calibrate the magnetic sensor and install Magnetic Lock from the Play Store.

 

[cpthornman]

Flashed this afternoon and I am loving it so far. Can really tell it's been liberated from TW as performance is vastly superior. Haven't really encountered new bugs or anything. Did try to mess with the magnetic lock apps but with zero success. Is it even possible to bake functionality like this into CM?

Thank you so much for putting this together!! Has breathed a lot of new life into this aging device.

 

[Restl3ss]

I had honestly given up on the tab 3 10.1 haha (as is obvious by lack of pimpdroid updates), I was about a day away from selling it. Good work my friend

 

[michiil]

Its really awsome to see something new here i will flash it as soon as i get home.
If you need someone to do some testing just ask me since i have a 5200.

EDIT: goddamn thats smooth. its like a whole new tablet

 

[klejs1973]

Thrilled

This is just amazing! I've been looking in the development thread almost every day this year. From the start of April it's been less often and I almost most hope.
So imagine my surprise and joy! It's like a brand newer tablet! Thanks :laugh::good:

@blits01 can you send\receive sms on your device?
