SM-T825 TWEAKED 5.1 ***** PIE ***** 20JUN2020

T825_CTD1_TWEAKED_5.1_DB4_by_rorymc928

Based on latest stock CTD1 firmware
Tweaked, stable, zip aligned. SU/D
Forced encryption disabled
Deknoxed
Debloated
(GPU driver updated to latest adreno 313 rev 23.... returning soon)
Busybox
*****
Magisk updated 20.4
Matched edxposed version can be installed, or not, if preferred via magisk
(note that edxposed is the new framework replacing xposed to allow use with pie, it requires a number of steps, but fairly simple, guide to follow )
Edxposed installer
Gravity box PIE pre installed

Can be dirty flashed over CSH9 , or factory reset both will work. Recommend straight flash over PIE rom / CSH9, negligible benefit from wipe
Requires bootloader update to a pie bootloader if not on pie already.
(it will work without, but experience shows the bootloader update is required for the fingerprint reader to function )

For edxposed......
Xposed does not support android pie.
However, we now have edxposed, a magisk module which does basically the same thing.
Requirements are,
1. Riru core. Go to magisk downloads and type in the search bar "riru" , near the top you'll see riru core, click the download and it will install and offer a reboot.
2. Riru edxposed. Same search and you'll see riru edxposed further down 2 versions I chose sandhook, no reason but it works for me, same thing download it, it installs and offers reboot.
3. Edxposed installer , almost identical to the xposed installer, already installed in the Rom, open it and you should find gravitybox pie version in the modules section it may require switching on.

Advantage of edxposed is it passes safety net,..... I'm told.

Gravity box pie is still in early development, so whilst it has quite a bit there it's still a way off being complete, some selections didn't function for me, but a lot did.

Gravity box will still need to be switched on in edxposed modules.

More mods to follow...

Let me know how it goes

Best flashed over updated firmware, should dirty flash but tested with factory reset, so do your backups.
Follow instructions below....


1. If you have xposed installed,either select it off in the app or uninstall, I only selected it off.
2. Boot to TWRP
3. Go to wipe,and select factory data reset.
4. Install ROM
5. Long boot........,
6. Ignore the xposed force close
7. Do your normal startup load.
8. Magisk, if that version flashed, will function at this point.
9. If you wish to operate xposed as well,go to the xposed installer app(matched version preinstalled),open it and install the framework,which will be systemless/system. Non recovery installation works fine. It will require reboot.
10. On Magisk version it will pass safetynet check whilst xposed is selected off by its switch,otherwise it indicates fail. So you can swap, as needed by work perhaps, with one reboot.
11. Use gravity box module to switch off stock battery icon.

Let's do this!!

 

[HACK3DANDR0ID]

Good job bro! You did it! I remember reading your post about sh*t not working or you having problems, or something to that effect... I hope you stick around for Lineage 15. You did a really good job on the T820 build....

Thanks, have some appointments today but should get it in line with the T-820 ROM soon. Make sure you get back with anything you find.

Anyone can test if Netflix si working using magiskHide? and If you can get HD content?

 

[ww100100101]

First of all @rorymc928 thank you so much for this Rom..
Can someone please tell me what is "tweaked" in this Rom? I went to T820 thread, but there it says "Tweaks similar to version 1.6, re benchmark tested and adjusted to tune performance.".
Is it debloated?
Thanks once again

If it's the same as T820, main user tweaks are pre-installed Magisk, Xposed and gravity box. Almost all tweaks for gbox work including battery bar and center clock. There's a lot of UI tweaks you can make in gbox so you just have to give it a try. I do run his tweaked build on the T820 and I just gotta say it runs really nice. I can't recall what all is on stock as far as bloatware, but seems pretty lite and easy enough to remove more if you want.

You have to use this Magisk module:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/module-netflix-enabler-enable-netflix-t3708126

You can also do it manually.

HDR works too.

Gravity box is a great resource there's a lot that works but it can be trial and error for the mods that don't, I included it in the T-820 ROM, just forgot this time, but it is simple to install through the xposed installer anyway.

No debloating as yet, next step I'll get 3 minit battery in, which will bring it in line with the T-820.
I'll need to look at my notes for the list of tweaks.
Debloating can be a bit contentious, everything you take out someone else wants. Kainanmaki suggested aroma for it, so that may be the best way.

Please try to set download quality to "high" and download "Bright".

The movie size should be 1.7GB in hd.

Without libcryptoem is usually in SD with a file size of 500MB.

Mmm interesting. I haven't used the feature on Android but I'll try it later and compare it with stock.

You're absolutely right about this. Tried both ways and yes, there's a 3 to 1 difference in Size

I wonder if there's any way to force the HD download with the libcrypto modification.

if you check using DRM info (download it from playstore) is the tablet without libcrypt oem at windevine L1 or L3? on stock rom is L1. Device in L3 can access only SD content.

Try to use the following apk that should force the HD:

Using this app the streaming quality is better? And the download size?!?

There is a permissive kernel available,here https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...nt/kernel-galaxy-tab-s3-sm-t820-t825-t3603094
Not sure if its what you need

Let me clarify:

If I modify the libcrypt oem, the Google Play Netflix app streams HDR perfectly.
The DRM check states L3, but still streams HDR. The only stuff that's broken is the offline download.
There the L3 kicks in and the quality of every donwload is SD. It's the only problem.

I tried the apk you posted but it's exactly the same as the original.
Streams in HDR, downloads in SD.
