PIXELIZED OS

Hey guys it's enzo2001 here, introducing you Pixelized OS. My aim on this ROM is to make the tab 4 smooth, up to date and with Pixel look and Android P which is latest android version. I make Pixelized OS for 3 devices which is SM-T231/T230/T230NU, the difference between SM-T231 and SM-T230/T230NU is the SM-T231 version include Dialer, Contacts and Messages for 3G users while the SM-T230/NU version i removed Dialer, Contacts and Messages for Wi-Fi users.

In this ROM i removed lot of Samsung and System bloatwares and added many mods and tweaks to boost the ROM performance to max and i replaced stock samsung app to Material Apps and Google Apps except Dialer (SM-T231) and Contacts (SM-T231)

For Pixel feel i added latest Google Product Sans fonts which is included in Pixel device, Pixel audio and Pixel bootanimation. I also add some Android P goodies and more to list here so try it yourself. Thank you guys for help me testing this rom, this ROM is now stable even though i don't have the device.

Thank you for this release. I have it installed on a T230nu and so far my initial impressions are pretty good, it's weird about the resolution...I kind of don't like it but in a way I do.. The font is soooooo tiny, I mean very, Very!!! Tiny, this can kind of be changed with the app settings xposed module, but honestly I think the factory resolution fits better, I use gboard swipe typing and it is kind of hard to do at this resolution. On the t230nu their is also a no service notification that is constantly there. On the recents menu the task manager and close all, is kind of cluttered and you cannot see what they really say. The ROM runs great though and I love how bare bones it is, I'll definitely keep track of this thread, and once again thank you for the work on this.

Thanks for the update. For anyone wondering this ROM really runs great and it's a nice balance between performance/battery. A thing to note though, some apps that will install on normal smt230 ROMs will not install, for example, Instagram. A easy way around that is too install yalp store , so no big deal.

Thanks for the feedback.. do u have any screenshot of the installing apps problem.. i think i can fix it

It's not a error, when you go to play store to install it, it says device is not compatible,on other roms it installs fine. If that problem was fixed and if you could turn off the no service thing, and disable more of the cell phone stuff I'd say this would be top pick of roms for this device.

Did you clean install or dirty flash the new rom? I had it happen to me a while back (maybe 10-12 versions ago of this rom) play store would not allow me to install basic apps that I had just installed before the flash. I would follow the directions, wipe & reinstall the rom. By the way Enzo2001, the version numbers are all screwed up again, making it very hard for a person to 1)download an update, because they are the same name, 2)during install of rom in TWRP, it shows a different name compared to the filename, 3)settings/about has different name than install name. It going to get confusing for all, including you

1.0 is the latest one for now as this is the new xda thread.. for new update ill just make it to 1.1

Enzo2001, you didn't read my post. The title of your thread is "pixelized Rom v1.0. the 1st download link, the room is called pixel_light v1.0. then someone complains of the text being to small, you give a link to a new version called pixel_ light v1.0 which is the same as the 1st version. Then in twrp it says you are installing a different name Rom, and finally the settings/about. Please clean it up so people don't install the wrong one. For example, I used a file mgr, I looked at download time and date to know which to use, but in twrp/install, it doesn't show the date & time

Okay for the next update i'll change to Pixelized ROM v1.1 on settings,thread and installation file.. sorry for confusing you, also on Pixelized ROM v1.0 can you help me search "Instagram" on play store and see if there is any message saying that is not compatible

rtarv321 · Jul 9, 2018 at 4:34 AM

Actually it will be very 1.3. You already have 2 downloads. 1) the original in the beginning of this thread. 2)the update to enlarge the screen font. Thanks, I'm only trying to help, I am not trying to be picky.

Haven't tried new build yet but was wondering is the standby cell process really draining that much battery?
