Hello All!
I'm back to bring out a new Galaxy Tab S Stock Lollipop ROM. As before, I don't have this device so I will need testers who are willing to help out!

If you decide to flash and help out, remember that this is a beta! I take no responsiblity for any broken devices or anything of the sort.

Hey shaeer I would love to test your rom and help out cheers Reuben

I am running the new bootloader from the the lollipop update so I would like to help to.

 

[Shaheer]

Alright, so if I am not mistaken to install these new lollipop custom roms, users need to have already installed stock lollipop? Am I correct?

I am asking so that I may add this to the OP because I can not test this myself as I don't have the tablet.

PS: Beta 1 will have basic small things that I will need to test such first such as root, as I would not like to move forward with bigger things until I tackle the bigger things such as Aroma and debloating.

I can confirm you need lollipop bootloader. Can do this by flashing stock firmware through odin, re rooting then can flash new rom on twrp

Uploading Beta 1 right now. Fingers crossed that it flashes and boots up

Things to check for:
-See if it flashes
-Check for root (See if a root app works)
-Check for working Wi-Fi
-Check for Google Play Store downloading/updating apps
Please let me know of any errors

Running now. Boots fine. Wi-Fi works. No errors on play store after installing couple things. But supersu isn't working. Doesn't come up with promt screen. Same problem as ironrom

Shaheer, heres the fix for root problems. Its something with the superuser app not responding. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=59730789

 

[reubenskelly1992]

More of a workaround than an actual fix

Thanks for the info dude! I'm integrating into the next beta and hoping it works. (Beta 3 that is)

PS: Beta 2 is upcoming with a slightly different fix for root. It may or may not work (May not even flash properly lets see)

ETA for beta 2: Uploading ~15-20mins remaining

I had found a strange thing I flashed the rom with gapps then flashed Super Su and set up my tab as normal. I then opened SuperSu which seemed normal, tested T-backup which showed I had root then I used root checker which said I didn't. Look forward to testing beta 2

Wow, that's something you got there. So T-Backup is showing root is fine but root check isn't

UPDATE: Beta 2 is uploaded and link is added to the OP.

 

[Shaheer]

Beta 2 What to look for:
Check to make sure it flashes properly
Check for root
Check for working wi-fi
Any issues, please report

 

[Shaheer]

So at the same time beta 3 is out as well. It has implemented @DUHAsianSKILLZ fix for root in it. I hope it flashes alright

Same things to check for as in beta 2

Check for root
Check for working wi-fi
Any issues, please report

Ok just dirty flashed over beta 1 and beta 2 flashes ok I opened Supersu and was directed to flash update via twrp which I did and once my tab restarted I checked root and root is present and wifi works just fine.

Awesome!!! If you don't mind, just to confirm if clean flashing beta 2 does the same result, could you please try clean flashing it as well? I'd really appreciate that

Ok, clean flashed went well exactly the same as a dirty flash, root and wifi working just fine.

Perfect!! Now, I can move onto the bigger parts such as Aroma and debloating. Beta 4 should be uploaded by tomorrow or so, possibly today

Ok I will skip beta 3 and wait for beta 4 as root is working fine.
