Installation Guide

1. First, power off your tablet and then hold down Home+Power+VolumeUp to boot into recovery (CWM, TWRP, Philz Touch, etc.)
2. Wipe/Factory Reset your tablet. WARNING: THIS WILL ERASE ALL DATA, SO MAKE A BACKUP.
3. When that's done, go ahead and flash the .zip you downloaded from your SD card.
4. When that's done, reboot your tablet.
5. Everything should go well, but it might take a bit of time to boot at first. Don't worry. This happens with every ROM. But when you're done, you should see the Samsung setup wizard. Done!

Screenshots

Ignore the Helvetica Neue font and "DIDNEY WORL" on the lock screen. I set those for myself, which means when this ROM is first flashed, you will have the Roboto font and no personal message on the lockscreen, although you can set it yourself. Also these screenshots are from version 1.0.

Special thanks to:

• Google, for making Android.

• And finally, @dsixda, for making Android Kitchen, the tool I used to create this ROM.

NOTE: The attached SuperSU zip was to fix lost root access when flashing version 2.0.

Nice will be trying this

 

[DB225]

after flashing the ROM, and I reboot it just sits on a black screen.

 

[Four2zero]

+1 I also have the same blank screen. Once flashed successfully then reboot. Will get samsung tab 3 boot up logo but then will go blank screen for a long period.

Update....

Now, since I have updated TWRP to the latest edition. This ROM has installed successfully. Hence, the blank screen issue. Thanks for the Rom.

 

[Four2zero]

tried to swap out Default kernel to Blackhawk kernel and it hangs on boot logo. Any suggestions.

I'm loving this rom off the bat after only two days using it. However, I keep getting a notification for a google sign in request.how can i clear it

 

[nkewk]

Works good? Worth getting this or Tranchidkat?? PPP

 

[bADiTCH]

Downloading now. Ill let you know if any issues, but looks good!

Ok I have installed it and WOW! Very nice clean ROM, and exactly what I was looking for.

 

[mvanderr]

I tried installing this ROM on my t210.

When booting after install I see the samsung logo. After a while it reboots again and I see the logo again and it launches the recovery mode.

What can I do?

 

[goralpm]

Can anybody check GPS? Thanks.

Hi I installed your ROM last week and have to say so far it has proved to be the smoothest and most stable custom ROM I have tried on this tablet. I have tweaked the DPI as some items appeared to large but the ROM took it well and seems to be even smoother after the change.

Thank you for your work

 

[Jctatis]

looks like all other roms

By a good ROM I mean unlike some others I have used so far it has remained fast and smooth across a number of days. Touchwiz based ROMS I have installed in the past seem to bog down and eventually grind to a halt. So this one I really like so far I'll give it a couple of weeks to see if I still like it! And then report back.

?

 

[jeremeel2015]

i'm getting blackscreen on bootanimation
already have the latest TWRP & modem

 

[rabies876]

How is the battery life is it better than stock?

 

[LeighR]

It's a smooth ROM but I get random shutdowns

 

[TheRuan]

Solved:I'm getting blankscreen too, I'm using TWRP to install, also sometimes after installing or during rom installing the system can't be mounted and there is a "not valid command" message during install.
Gonna try with PhilZ next.
Edit: No luck with PhilZ either.
Edit2: There was no problem in the rom, after a few attempts I found out that when I applied the pit file in Odin to restore the partition table it didn't work, so I created another script to restore the partition table with 1.5GB system instead of 800MB.
Btw, that didn't happen only in your rom installation, all roms I attempted, that didn't install, never show an error saying that system partition was not big enough.
Testing it now

How did you tweak the DPI? (I just got the ROM and I also see that some items appear to large

I killed the tab a while back, but I edited the build prop and change the DPI in there. The smaller you set the number the smaller stuff appears only do it in small increments though. Edit it via something like es file explorer save your changes reboot see if you like what you see
