[ROM][SM-T520][10.1 WiFi][4.4.2] GraveD's ROM V3.0

[.:GraveD:.]

GraveD ROM V3.0

Custom ROM only for the Galaxy Tab PRO 10.1 WiFi (SM-T520)!

What's this ROM about?
This is a cleaned and slimmed down stock ROM!

Why?
I like my ROM's clean, small and fast.

So what exactly did I do?
- Removed MOST Samsung/bloatware/KNOX/Google apps (~380 .apk's/files where deleted)
- De-Odexed.
- Rooted.
- ZipAligned.

- Greatly increases speed with NITROX (by k1ks)

- Added LibidinosoSC kernel v1.1 (by LibiSC)

- Added Dolphin Browser / Ad Blocker for Dolphin Browser.
- Added Nova Launcher.
- Added Apollo music player.
- Added AOSP Calculator.
- Added Xposed framework.
- Added WPS Office

Is this a ROM for me?
Depends, This is a very clean and slim ROM.
This is a great base to start from! It offers a plain and simple base.
A good and fast browser/Office and some standard apps (calculator, email client, camera)

Hugh speed improvements vs the stock ROM.

How to install? - Attention if you proceed your warranty is void.
Copy the zip to an SDCard.
Have a custom recovery, Like TWRP!
Make sure you do ADVANCED WIPE!!!
From the TWRP main menu go to "Wipe" > "Advanced Wipe" > here select everything except the external storage!

Flash it like you usually do.

V2.0 (older): SMT520_GraveD_V2 (641MB)
V1.0 (older): SMT520_GraveD_V1 (605MB)


Extra:
Since this is my first ROM that I share, ALL ideas/requests are welcome!

For an even better result, I've added the LibidinosoSC kernel v1.1!
With this new kernel your able to OC your CPU/GPU if you want.
Check out his topic for more info on the goodies you'll get from this.

Known issues:
The Google search widget should be removed, since it's not working (Google search is removed(can be re-downloaded trough the play store)).
For some reason the first few minutes you might get a "android.process.acore stopped" This will fix itself after a few minutes of stabilizing.

As @mupet0000 mentioned, When the Home button is pressed it waits a little to make sure you aren't going to double tap the home button to open S-Voice.
This causes slight lag, It's something that is present in all Samsung devices with S-Voice.
This is easily fixed by flashing the S-voice zip, going into it's settings and enabling then disabling open with double press of the home button.

Hi,

You won't get the knox warning at boot, at least I don't

I'm already working on providing some of the apps separately, I'll add the email client to the list

Samsung email has been added to my third post

Whit the Cybertronic kernel you get better ram management, and some improvement in smoothness

 

[SomeGuyDude]

Only oddity: live wallpapers don't work for some reason?

That's because that service is not included, I've added it to the third post, Live wallpaper picker,
Haven't tested it, but it should work

 

[comabanana]

i'm using your rom with Cybertronic kernel, running a lot better then stock!

Thanks for the development. Weirdly, this thing doesn't install for me. It goes into Odin mode when I try to boot system after flashing it. I thought it might have been a bad flash, but after a retry I get the same result.

Any ideas?

Hi,

Weird thats the first I here, put it can always happen
Try re-download the ROM it's possible it got corrupted during download.

Make sure you wipe everything, in TWRP go to advanced wipe and select everything (except external storage! )

Another possibility:
I've noticed it says Tab PRO 8.4 in you sig, this is a ROM for the tab PRO 10.1

You sir, are absolutely right. I'm not sure what threw me off, but I am mistaken. Thanks for pointing that out.

I think I need to learn which apps I can safely remove myself. I'd like to create a ROM, but I wouldn't know where to start.

 

[maximus96]

title says T-520 but body says

Hi,

No this will not work on the 12.2,

The "Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4" part is a error in the xda:devdb, it says that for all Tab PRO devices

I've sent a message to the moderators, who are forwarding it onto the admins... We'll get this fixed :good:

(I am intentionally not using DevDB for this reason...)

Does this rom restore MicroSD permission to the Pre Android 4.4 mess? Or if not is there one out that that does?

My BOX and VGB Emu app are able to write/modify files on my MicroSD card without probs, so this should work for all other apps as well
