[ROM]Neked_Maker_ROM-N-All S2's-3-3-18

[engine95]

This is the continuation of Neked-Nook but for Nougat. This should work with ALL S2's. So may I present to you for your flashing pleasure....

Neked_Maker_ROM

This is NOT A FULL ROM. This will modify your existing STOCK ROM. So DO NOT wipe /system in TWRP!!!!​

You Flash this at your own risk!!!!! I am not responsible if your Tab breaks!!!!
MAKE A BACKUP IN TWRP FIRST!!!!!!

Snapdragon S2 Owners. Please read post #2 to confirm your mount points
ONLY FOR V1 AND V2!!!!​

Features:
Based on T710XXU2DRB1 - for V3 ONLY FOR 2015 EXYNOS S'2s
Based on T710XXU2DQCL - But SHOULD work for ALL S2's

DO NOT FLASH V1 THEN V2!!!! FLASH ONE OR THE OTHER - These zips modify your build.prop so you will end up with extra lines in it.
All S2's
V1 will remove Google apps - Drive, Gmail2, GoogleTTS, Hangouts, Maps, Music2, Photos, Videos, Youtube - These are all downloadable
V2 will remove almost ALL Bloat - as above plus Microsoft, Samsung, stuff - you can look at the updater script to see specifics.
2015 Exynos S2's 2DRB1 ONLY
V3 removes as much as possible to make room for DualbootPatcher installed in /system and still keep all functionality

Wifi fix - thanks to @Ather V3 modifies it more for All regions
Smart view fix so you can watch tab on TV
Probably a couple other things.

Install:
You MUST ODIN N FIRST if you want to use this!!! (May work for "M" also) For V3, you must Odin 2DRB1
MAKE A BACKUP SECOND!!!!!
DO NOT TAKE ANY PLAYSTORE UPDATES
*If you wanna be lazy, you MAY be able to use this without Odin'ing first. But the apps will still be there in data. Which you SHOULD be able to uninstall. *No promises this way will work properly though.
This is NOT A FULL ROM. So DO NOT wipe /system in TWRP!!!
Flash Maker in TWRP
(Everything is automatic but wiping cache and dalvic can't hurt)
Profit!!

Possible bugs
DO NOT FLASH V1 THEN V2!!!! FLASH ONE OR THE OTHER - These zips modify your build.prop so you will end up with extra lines in it
V3 is for 2DRB1 ONLY!!! 2015 EXYNOS S2's

Let me know if there are other apps to be removed from countries other than USA

The updater-scripts are all inclusive. Meaning you can flash /data and kernels, all in one zip. But you'll need to modify the script.

Snapdragon S2 owners: Use this app, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.kuder.diskinfo&hl=en to ensure your /system and /boot are:
/system - /dev/block/mmcblk0p19,
/boot - /dev/block/mmcblk0p9.

Use 819 zips if:
/system - /dev/block/mmcblk0p36,
/boot - /dev/block/mmcblk0p18.

So let me be extra cautious and ask for confirmation that this ROm will work on the Galaxy Tab S2 SM-T819 variant? I see in the OP the statement that this may work on all Snapdragon S2s?

 

[Dariusdd]

It worked properly. I see that in the future you plan on adding your custom kernel here. Will test the screen mirroring with my TV when I get back home next Friday.

It has worked in the past. But there are new variants since then. Just use that app from post #2. If it matches, then you're good to go.

It works just fine on the 710, so it should work for all.
Hopefully, on the kernel. But I'm not sure on all the variants for Exynos yet

 

[bavmouse]

is it also für T819?
thanks!

 

[engine95]

@Moe5508 and @bavmouse
You both asked the same question. So have either of you done as I asked in the OP, post #2, and your questions?
It's a very simple app and I'd like to know also.

/system should be 19
and
/boot should be 9

If they are, then you're good to go

Edit: Or any other Snapdragon S2 owner for that matter. They are all the same.

I installed on t719, no problem at all. It is small debloat, but wifi fix is very significant and working @engine95 thanks , I also suggest much stronger debloat

You should have went with V2. Everything extra is gone. You could still flash V2, but there would be extra repeated lines in the build.prop that should be edited out.

Edit. Or tell me the extras so I can add them. I'd need the full name in sys app or priv app

 

[ivanox1972]

Thanks boss.
Actually I applied v2. I was already done even bigger debloat but wifi fix was highly needed.
I don't understand statement about build. prop?
About bigger debloat I have followed this thread and until now no problem. Of course O not deleted most of gsm functions apps

The script writes to the build.prop each time it's flashed. I added 3 lines to the build.prop, so it'll keep adding those 3 lines each time it's flashed. Then you'll have repeat lines that aren't needed.
On the stronger debloat, I can't remove too much as this is for any S2. It's not build specific. So I just keep it basic for those that want to just flash and go. Not everyone is comfortable removing apps or editing build.props.
If I remove too much, it'll work for the WiFi variants, but not the LTE variants. Or vice/versa

after flashing this, system is lost.

There's only 2 reasons I can think of that that could happen.
You wiped /system in TWRP by accident
Don't do any wipes, when and if, you install this again. Let the script do all the work
or
Your /system is different from everybody else's.
Did you confirm that /system is at /dev/block/mmcblk0p19 ? While this is very rare, it's possible that the script over-wrote that block and that's why /system is gone. It got moved. But that shouldn't happen because the script also looks to the name of the block.

Do you have any more info that I could use to help you out? There have been over 18 DL's so far, and the original "Maker" has over 300 Dl's and this is the first time I have heard of this happening.

Edit: I guess you could also have a bad download. Make sure to compare the md5sum. AFH gives that with every DL.

i think it is a twrp problem. i did a system backup with twrp and afterwards system was gone again.

You might have to use Odin to fix it. Then you can restore your backup. Just remember that Odin will wipe your internal SD. External SD won't be touched.
Also, and I hadn't thought of this, this is not a full ROM. This modifies your existing stock ROM. So if you wipe /system in TWRP, then it will be gone. I will update the OP.

I am still on Neked Nook 5.1.1. Will this work if I install it, or do I have to install marshmallow first?

 

[bavmouse]

Install:
You MUST ODIN N first if you want to use this!!! (May work for "M" also)
MAKE A BACKUP FIRST!!!!!
This is NOT A FULL ROM. So DO NOT wipe /system in TWRP!!!
Flash Maker in TWRP

what means: You MUST ODIN N first if you want to use this!!!

Thanks!

Snapdragon S2 owners I comfirmed this earlier, but it's nagging at me. Use this app, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.kuder.diskinfo&hl=en to ensure your /system and /boot are:
/system /dev/block/mmcblk0p19,
/boot /dev/block/mmcblk0p9.
Let me know if its different. It shouldn't be.

It may? But it's 2 iterations behind, so you might as well Odin to Nougat. Updato is what most people are using to get the Odin .tar to upgrade.

Now we have a problem. Your /system is blk039, not blk019 like everyone else. You will have to use Odin to fix your tablet. N is Android OS Nougat.
Odin is what the factory uses to upgrade and fix Samsung Tablets and phones. It's not difficult to use, and there are a lot of helpful posts on how to use it.
These posts have links to many things to help you out. https://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-s2/general/index-samsung-tab-s2-one-index-t3544310 and here https://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-s2/general/guide-root-tab-s2-t3205019

While I can change the script to install on the 819, you don't have a /system or working backup to restore it.
In "Disk info" app, go to settings and check the first 5 boxes. Then go back to the app and find out what blk039 is. And also what number /system and /boot are. Your /system shows blk039.

But if your using Disk info, and your tablet has no /system. How are you showing me that picture? Did you get it fixed? If so, give the info above so I can fix the script to work for the 819.

I flashed the Firmware with Odin, now look the Screenshots:

"You will have to use Odin to fix your tablet. " How can i fix it?
