You have P901 model
so you have to extract zip archive, replace in updater-script "v1awifi" to "v1a3gxx", make new zip archive and flash it.
Dont edit it in windows notepad. download notepad++ for example.

I got it working. I changed recovery to the correct one. All is good. Thanks everyone.

Successfully ported to T900 v2wifixx.
It's really nice and smooth. However, it's a pity that Xposed is not yet compatible with Lollipop (ART), why I will most likely stay with a 4.4.4 ROM.

Can this be installed on ATT version

Can this be installed on the ATT LTE version.

No.

I'm having an issue. When putting the tablet to sleep it sometimes switches off completely. I have to long press the power button for it to start up again. I haven't had this issue before using this Rom. Otherwise everything is working smooth, thanks for your great Rom.

Quick/temporary fix to get rid of the mouse pointer

If you don't use a mouse with your tablet then here is a quick fix to get rid of the mouse pointer:
You just have to replace the mouse pointer with an invisible/transparent one.

1. The arrow icon is located in framework-res.apk which can be found in /system/framework
2. Make a copy of the the file, name it framework-res.apk.bak and leave it in system/framework. This makes it a lot easier to restore if you run into problems.
3. Copy framework-res.apk to your pc and open it up with 7zip
4. Locate the arrow icon. For our device it is res\drawable-xxhdpi-v4\pointer_arrow.png.
5. Extract it and open with your favorite image editing program. I use gimp.
6. You can modify the mouse pointer to your liking. I just erased everything.
7. Copy the png back into the zip file overwriting the original

Copying framework to your device:

1. Put your modded framework-res.apk into /system/framework and name it framework-res.apk.new
2. Assuming you have TWRP, boot into twrp
3. In mount menu mount system
4. Go to the advanced tab and choose terminal
5. Navigate to /system/framework
6. Type the following:
7. cp framework-res.apk.new framework-res.apk
8. This will copy the new framework overwriting the old one

Restoring framework:
Do the same as when you installed the new framework just replace the names.
cp framework-res.apk.bak framework-res.apk

It is important that system files have the correct permissions otherwise your tablet might not boot. build.prop and framework-res.apk both use rw-r--r-- or short 644. If your tablet doesn't boot you might try setting the permissions for the framework. Open twrp and the terminal. Type: chmod 644 framework-res.apk

I attached my modded framework for build #3

This is literally the only reason I'm not using this because otherwise I find it pretty fantastic. I'm not getting that huge a performance difference from kitkat with custom kernel, but it's smooth and I find the overall system ui feels very natural on this device. It runs like it was designed on it specifically to me.

Looking good so far - but there are still some odd issues...

Mainly:
- Enabling "helper" applications like Tasker or Locale within the "Accessibility" menu doesn't seem to be possible (the "OK" button does not permit a click, though "Cancel" works)
- On passworded WiFi points (i.e. "Guest" or coffee shop type networks), the "Sign in to..." notification item pops a screen that stays blank. Login is possible through the browser, etc., but it's a niggle that the built-in system seems to have lost its mind.
- Encryption fails with a reboot (and no logs that I can find - is there a replacement for BootLog Uptime?)
- Recents is a bit bizarre, if I have a single app as a recent, it will pull sequentially smaller "Application Manager" windows, until I have a full stack of "Recent recents" that I can navigate through back to the bottom of the stack with my lone app running.

Xposed would be nice, but the developer has stated that it'll probably never make it to v5 Android. Anyone have a good substitute for XPrivacy and Downloads2SD (which were the primary modules I used)?

Ok, I gotta say that this is one of the smoothest & fastest ROMs out there for the SM-P900 Wifi. Hands down, ABSOLUTELY ALMOST PERFECT. A lot of the samsung functionality is not there, but this is CyanogenMod 12 not TouchCrap, lol, I mean TouchWiz. I personally installed this ROM and am currently running it on several of my devices and I must say it is better than any other mentioned daily driver. It does not include the Samsung properties. However, if the developers and or the OP would allow me, I'm about 99% sure I could strip off all of the Spen(s) functionality from the TouchWiz Stock ROM, and have it fully implemented, installed, and completely working with this beast of a ROM. And yes I'm pretty sure that it can be done. That is of course if the developers and or the OP ALLOWED me the opportunity to assist. As of for this ROM. I have bench tested it several times and the numbers are better than any other ROM out there today for this model. Please don't anticipate that I'm implying other developers ROM's are not all there or are not good ROM's. It's just my honest opinion, from some 25+ years of advanced software and hardware development that this ROM is the most stable, best battery consumption, has a better and far superior benchmark, clears the RAM faster, reads and writes better with this particular hardware, produce better results, even without the Spen functionality, than anything else currently available. If you were to add the Spen full functions and missing software. This would devastate anything else out there, and would totally show the full power capabilities of what this hardware can properly do with the right provisioned software and or ROM.

Basically put. I've developed for 3 of the top companies in the US and this would absolutely be my daily driver, if the missing Spens functions were to be added. Without the functions added. It is by far the most stable and rock solid ROM out there.

If you're looking to fix that crack flashing addiction, one time and for all, then look no further, this is it. PERIOD.

This sounds a lot like the sleep of death (SoD) issue from CM11 on the P900 - can you guys verify if you can fix this?

 

[bonuzzz]

I think you want impossible from new android and early builds. If you want something stable, wait 2-3 months

In my tablet was fixed with the last version, (3: first cm12 build 20141214: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-...U3M&authuser=0 (md5: 771381e1990dc02ce25356b5c0d52f1f, sha1: 0dd8da9b6086cc5ae113640354c6d0cbf87c9bb1))

Build 4 works nice, but if it is possible, can u remove completelythe cursor?

Thanks for ur work ^^

 

[blackric]

Just installed build 4 and wanted to say that its incredibly stable and fast, great work. Haven't encountered any issues except a visual glitch when you view the 'cards' when you switch between apps.

If you guys can integrate the s-pen functions and somehow bring back multi-windows in a future build that would be amazing.

Cheers.

Lol I didn't try too long I had other stuff I had I had to get done, but my few quick ideas to see if I could do it the "easy way" failed in beautiful crash loop crescendos and popups. Also didn't learn this until I opened it up lollipop installs stuff very differently because of art.

 

[rgolnazarian]

Ya I was having the sleep of death too, but the new build fixed it up, thanks for the righteous work! I just can't wait for the theme engine to finally get here!

 

[k000]

Wow.. Would love to use it as long as I can use S Pen.. One thing that I am hooked on to is the fact that SPEn does auto Samsung sync. Can this too? Or i will just do a drop sync or something
