Thanks for providing a different build for the SM-T350.

Two bugs so far after some quick testing.

1. Like evervolv, I can't load Clash Royale as it says device not compatible. I can't see Clash of Clans in playstore either. This is not surprising if you are using evervolv as base code.

2. The recent button, doesn't bring up all the open apps. Hitting the button takes me to the home screen. Since this is the first time, I'm using cDroid, perhaps I'm doing something wrong? I changed recents style to AOSP and now it works as I expect it.

Will test some more later on.

PS. In post #1, you write it is using the 4.x kernel. The kernel is 3.10.108 according to the tablet.

 

[nubianprince]

@retiredtab the issues with CoC and Clash Royal could be related to google play services and not the ROM itself, see if updating google play services makes a difference. I will continue to check into it.

Using the no sound LineageOS 16.0 build with the exact same tablet, same userid and same open pico gapps (just downloaded yesterday), Clash Royale and Clash of Clans works with LineageOS 16.0 (but with no sound).

Using the exact same tablet, same userid, same open gapps, I get "device not compatible" for Clash Royale with crDroid and evervolv.

All tests done with clean flash (wipe dalvik, cache, system, data, factory reset, etc).

Playstore version 14.0.33-all

Google Play Services version 15.1.78

Everything is up to date as Updates in google play store show "no updates available".

Question: Can you install Clash Royale on your tablet?

Not sure what you mean, it isnt playing mp3 files?

@nubianprince, does your evervolv 7 build work with google chrome, clash royale and Coc?

I can't past that bluetooth bug in the evervolv 7 build to configure or setup anything myself to test.

@retiredtab chrome, clash Royale and CoC works on evervolv 7.1

Best way to avoid the BT errors

Flash file + GApps, before you reboot ...

mount system.. advanced... file manager.. system.. app ... Bluetooth ...delete Bluetooth.apk then reboot.

It works for sm-t595n to?

 

[retiredtab]

@retiredtab chrome, clash Royale and CoC works on evervolv 7.1

Thanks for testing that. Okay, so it looks like it is just evervolv 9 then that has this problem.

 

[nubianprince]

No it will not.

 

[kimo9hero]

No it will not.

Hi thanks for the answer, is there a way to root and install recovery and roms on this device?

 

[alin919]

Just clean reinstalled again and still no Chrome , Facebook Messenger ( just light one ) or Instagram working .

nubianprince's build utilizes evervolv 9 for its base. Since evervolv 9 doesn't work with google chrome and other popular apps, this build won't either.

We have to wait for evervolv team to look at their build fingerprint to see what is wrong.

What are you guys doing to get apps installed? I can't run without chrome and others obviously

Try apkmirror.com download and install the apps from there, let me know if you can install apps that way.

I am currently doing an Oreo build to see if that also has issues with playstore.
