New nightly is up. Enjoy! Link
Feel free to donate via PayPal for my quality work!

Thanks for the fine work on the T900 CM12.1
Donated $30 for your work.
I hope this will help to buy a T900 or getting such a great work from you for CM13 :)
If you get CM13 running I will donate another $30
Hopefully all other users to donate too :)

BTW: the File from the 08/23/2016 is named CM-12.1-20160823-UNOFFICIAL-v2wifixx and the former files
where named CM-12.1.1-20160816-UNOFFICIAL-v2wifixx - so CM12.1 against CM12.1.1 - typo or why this backstep?


Keep on coding....

plz help how to resolve random freeze on samsung t900 using t900 cm12.1....all variants.... if i used the stock rom 5.1.1 no random freeze
I didnt got random freezes with TWRP 2.8.0.0 (updated to 2.8.7.0 via the App flashify - wont try 3.0) and the actual CM12.1 ROMs from ThomPatry....

A guess in the blue..... but could it be the wrong Gapps.zip or a bad GApps-Build?
@thompatry: Do you got a Link for GApps which do work for you (on your P900)?

The name of the GApps File I did use is
gapps-5.1-2015-06-02-15-19.zip - but I dont know where I did get it :)

What is the deal with this? Is there a Dev looking to get one of these tablets to bring CM updates to the device? Been away for a bit and just getting to get caught up on the thread.

Yes I am looking to get one of this tablet so I can develop and bring it up to date with CM and maybe other projects like AICP.

thompatry is the developer for the SM-P900 and he did also compile ROMs for the SM-T900...but without a T900 the compile ist just a guess :)

Yep. I just compile with the latest CM updates. I can't test anything since I don't have the device.

Any chance some one has a link for the last build of kitkat?
I'm old fashioned...

You can build it but I am not. My main focus is getting MM up and stable for both the v1awifi and the v2wifixx.


New build is up. Enjoy! Link

Shrek, please PM and we can sort the details out. Also, they are cheaper on eBay.

Samsung t900 nougat update possible?

Yes but not for a while. You don't even have MM yet let alone a working camera. Don't get too antsy. Plus it has only been out for a week.

Been running the 8/8/2015 build for quite a while now. It's been great but recently battery life has been suffering. Can I just flash the latest build or have there been new developments requiring additional flashing?

Thanks for all the hard work

New nightly is posted. Since you guys do not have MM yet, I will work on integrating the new LP kernel I have been working on into this rom. You should see a huge performance increase and battery life. I will try to have it done by next Monday. No promises.

Enjoy! Link

lp kernel in mm, so that we didnt need to completly reinstall our apps - like with a new CM-version?
( from CM11 to CM12)
İ didnt know that the kernels are "swapable" between Android-versions...

A lot of devices have older kernels that you can make work on new versions of android. You shouldn't need to wipe to flash it with the new kernel, unless it starts glitching, in which case you do.
Did that answer your question? I'm not entirely sure I grasped what you said, sorry

    CyanogenMod Rom for Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, SM-T900 (v2wifixx)

    NEW VERSION CyanogenMod 12.1, "Lollipop" version 5.1.1
    CM 12.1 compiled for the SM-T900 from source code

    These are unofficial releases of CyanogenMod for the Samsung Tab Pro 12.2 SM-T900 (v2wifixx). CyanogenMod is an aftermarket firmware for phones and tablets based on the open-source Android operating system. It offers features not found in the official Android based firmwares of vendors. These ROM's are compiled from CM sources, and based on CM ports by crpalmer for the Tab Pro 10.1 (SM-T520), he deserves the credit, this would not be possible without his work. I also want to thank Valera1978 for his work on our sister tablet, the SM-P900.

    WARNING: This is released without warranty of any kind. Use of this software could damage or destroy your tablet. Use at your own risk.

    How to install:

    1. Root device
    2. Download Rom and Gapps
    3. Install custom recovery, recommend TWRP Tab Pro 12.2 (v2wifixx), can be flashed with Odin or from existing recovery.
    You may also use Clockwork Recovery, a custom recovery img file can be installed using dd and Terminal Emulator. First download to /sdcard, and install to /dev/block/mmcblk0p10.
    Code:
    su
    dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p10

    4. Backup stock with custom recovery.
    5. Flash Rom and Gapps.
    6. Enjoy

    Source files for CyanogenMod for the Samsung Tab Pro 12.2 SM-T900 (v2wifixx) on Github

    Building CyanogenMod 12.1 for the SM-T900 from source is not too difficult. You do need basic computer knowledge especially with linux. CyanogenMod has wikis on how to compile for different devices. If you setup for picassowifi, just add the local manifest under .repo, then
    Code:
    repo sync
    and the kernel, vendor and device files will automatically download from Github. Then
    Code:
    source build/envsetup.sh
    and
    Code:
    brunch v2wifixx

    Good luck and have fun.

    Local Manifest
    https://github.com/Pentahex/android_repo_local_manifests_v2wifixx

    Device source:
    https://github.com/Pentahex/android_device_samsung_v2wifixx.git

    Vendor source:
    https://github.com/Pentahex/android_vendor_samsung_v2wifixx.git

    Kernel source:
    https://github.com/Pentahex/android_kernel_samsung_v2wifixx.git

    Again, source files are a fork from crpalmer and Valera1978, many thanks for their efforts.

    New Version CyanogenMod 12.1 compiled from source for the Samsung Tab Pro 12.2, SM-T900 posted in the OP, enjoy!

    Thank you chhaggerty. This CM11 built directly from the cyanogen source code is very smooth and reactive. It's runs better than the predecessors, as it is created directly from cm11 source code and adapted to the SM-T900 instead of being a direct port from another device. I have fortunate to run this version in beta for 5 or 6 days now and I have not seen any issues in this release, but from the screen rotation that only seem to react if the app has a default setting. You can use the Set Orientation, or the Ultimate Rotation Control app to pick the rotation you desire.

    This list of functions, based on weaknesses in other builds and ports for the Tab/Note family, have been tested without any issues:
    - mtp - to activate go to Settings/About tablet/ and tap 8 times on Build number - The menu will now have Settings/{ } Developer options/ activated. Check mark USB debugging notify.
    - adb
    - External SD - I used JRummy's SD KitKat Fixer to allow my apps to write to the removable card (common w. all cm ROM's)
    - USB OTG including USB storage
    - Off-mode charging
    -----------------------------------------
    - Lid sensor is working, and no SOD's has been observed
    - IR blaster is working, i've used IR2.0
    - OC settings - located in Settings/Performance/
    - Advanced reboot - to activate go to Settings/About tablet/ and tap 8 times on Build number - The menu will now have Settings/{ } Developer options/ activated. Check mark Advanced reboot.
    -----------------------------------------
    - Play Store
    - Google Play movies download and playback
    - Google Play streaming Movies & TV
    - DRM - tested with Audible, Google Books and Amazon Kindle
    -----------------------------------------
    - Zona
    - Popcorn Time - need upgrade to latest version 2.3 beta, includes built-in VPN and Chromecast support with subtitles, earlier version timed out
    - YouTube 720p playback - 1020p possible with small hack, 1440p will work w. v5.9.0.12
    - Netflix
    -----------------------------------------
    - Chromecast with #MirrorEnabler hack, allowing for screen cast
    - MHL connector
    - Miracast
    -----------------------------------------
    - Capacitive lights - I assume this is the backlights for the capacitive buttons
    - Capacitive keys
    - Home button - correct function performed
    - Brightness manual + auto
    - Vibrator
    -----------------------------------------
    - GPS lock and voice directed navigation
    - WiFi both 2.4 GHz & 5 GHz are working
    - Bluetooth
    - Microphone
    - Audio on both speakers
    - Headphones
    -----------------------------------------
    - Camera
    - Torch
    - Camera Sensors
    -----------------------------------------
    - Xposed Framework and modules - need re-initialization after each boot (common to all cm ROM's)
    - Superuser
    - Hangouts Dialer phone calls via Hangouts
    -----------------------------------------
    The following are standard limitations and options for cm11:
    If you need write access to your external SD-card i suggest to d/l JRummy's SD KitKat Fixer and if you need init.d support d/l Uni-init by Ryuinferno. If you think to much heat is building up use Performance/Profile set to Power save, Performance/Processor/CPU governor/ set to ondemand, in addition to increase battery time you can set Wi-Fi/Advanced/Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep/ to Only when plugged in and make sure the Wi-Fi/Advanced/Wi-Fi optimization/ is checked and reduce Display/Sleep/ to below 1 minute. You can also use some apps to improve battery eg Easy Battery Saver, or the more sophisticated AutoCon+ Save Battery & Data and and to put hanging apps to hibernation Greenify that I believe require Xposed Installer. To improve charging time, you can use an app eg Faster Charger. Finally, I have also used PurePerformances in order to further improve the performances and VIPER4AndroidFX to allow for louder speaker sound and enhanced listening experience.

    I would love to see someone building an AOSP kernel containing eg fast charge, and OC, cifs etc. as these will never be part of a true cm11 kernel.
    bonuzzz has an overclocked kernel with source code for the P-900 TouchWiz, but it runs just as well on the T-900, that could be used as a base for conversion into AOSP, if someone is willing to give it a try.
