[ROM][OFFICIAL]CandyKat 4.4.4 - [T217S] - 8/12/14[WIP]

[BMP7777]

THIS IS A PRELIMINARY BUILD; CURRENTLY, WIFI AND BLUETOOTH ARE NOT FUNCTIONAL. THIS BUILD IS FOR TESTING PURPOSES ONLY. I WOULD LIKE SOME FEEDBACK ON FUNCTIONALITY OF OTHER ASPECTS OF THIS ROM, AND SOME ASSISTANCE IN GETTING PAST THE WIFI AND BT ISSUES.

This is CandyKat. Built straight from SlimRom source with commits from a variety of different Sources/ROMS. We wanted to give the users a fun, fully customizable ROM.We aim to add more features as this project progresses. We have also come up with the Candy Sweetener Pack. This is an Aroma installer that is full of delicious treats. Inspired by the CandyShop thread on XDA it has everything from glow dots to halo mods.

---Changelog in post #3---

The Sweetner Pack is an ALL IN ONE aroma installer for your CandyKat Rom. It's meant to theme various aspects of UI and Lockscreen. This style of theming was hatched in the Candy Shop threads on XDA developers. It is the foundation of the vision and concept of the Rom. For more mods please visit your devices' Candy Shop thread. The Sweetener Packs will contain exclusive themes and mods just for CandyKat Rom. We will be updating libs and adding themes regularly!

This is the best ROM ever!!!!!!!!!!

 

[dsilx]

hi

I know this is a testing build and not done but i was wondering if u could maybe port it for t210/r from this if u dont mind me asking

 

[BMP7777]

I'll definitely try once I get this one stable.

 

[cronikman84]

This rom should also be ported to the SM-T217T :fingers-crossed: that would be awesome...It's nice to see CandyKat on the T217S tho, awesome work

 

[Trialsoul]

Oh my god! Finally a Rom for Sprint grab 3. I hope you get everything working. I'm so sic of stock. There's really no options. Do you know will this work with latest baseband NE7 once you get bugs worked out?

Can't thank you enough for your effort. This tab has been treated like a leper of the tab 3s for such a long time. This rom installed fine and seemed to work as it should. I've had the chance to try CM11 by eloper. The only thing that didn't work was the camera. Maybe he can chip in as to what stops wifi and BT from running here. I've also noticed a slight flickering which also existed in CM11, which has never been figured out by the dev. That, however, is nothing more than a minor annoyance and hence shouldn't be a priority of any kind. Would love to contribute except I'm totally out of my depth in this department. The only thing I can do is test.​

I'll just tell everybody now; I don't do ports. I build from source. Not trying to sound like a jag, just sayin'. If you can get me device, kernel, and other repo files, or a local_manifest from git, I can try builds for other tabs. But, porting is tough and the success rate is low. I'm better at doing it this way.

I don't believe that the baseband version will be an issue, because the ROM is 4.4.4. You don't need to worry about whether you are 4.2.2 or 4.4.2. I could be wrong.

Kinda feeling that way myself. But, after I build Candykat, Beanstalk, and maybe slim for this badboy, I will share the wealth.

Keep in touch then, because as I move forward with this and hopefully another ROM or two, I will definitely need a tester to help with debugging and such. Thanks for your support.


I'll be working on this ROM over the next couple days and the weekend. If anyone has ideas, tips, help to offer, or any other kind of assistance, I am all ears. Hopefully I'll be able to work out some issues and get this ROM to daily driver status very soon. I HATE STOCK!

Stay tuned.....

Always back up your rom

I think it's worth mentioning that you should make a backup of whatever you're running before you flash this. This is a 4.4.4 ROM, and I have read that users running a later ROM version have experienced bricks trying to flash back to an earlier version(for example, flashing back to 4.2.2). DON'T LET THIS BE YOU. Your backup from an earlier version will cause you no problems. Trying to 'downflash' can be a huge problem apparently. ALWAYS BACKUP BEFORE FLASHING NEW... and restore your former ROMs....don't attempt to downgrade....just sayin'....:highfive:

Building and working on fixes....

Yes I got my device files from interloper. I am currently running that build on my tablet. Carbon had no WiFi when I flashed it. I have compared the CM build and my own and have not yet found the problem.

Is cam working ?

 

[BMP7777]

Is cam working ?

No. As of last nights build and test; still no WiFi, Bluetooth, camera, or storage access. Hopefully I can make some progress over the weekend.

 

[chandrakant_b]

Best of luck, Please keep posting the change log, Donations will keep coming

 

[GAPO]

Excited to see this! Will flash tonight! Thanks Dev!

Edit: can't find the download link....?

Edit 2: got it

 

[GAPO]

Flashed and lost root....? I installed superuser but no luck. That always seems to happen to me with AOSP/AOKP ROMs, what am I doing wrong?

 

[shizzel1211]
