Slim Tab V6 [ARK4] [T835/T830]

[davschm]

@dr460nf1r3 I'd really really appreciate it if you could provide a close to stock rom with all the knox, security apps taken out. I'm still getting reboots with v6

I am actually not seeing any freeze or reboot anymore on mine. I deleted the android folder as mentioned in this thread, and I had to undo my disable on the samsung apps that remain on this image. But so far its been very stable. I also think i cleaned both cache's right after I finished install but before the first boot.

cool cool. Here are some issues I've found with V6

* At setup stage tab hangs at "checking info" with spinning circle, happened multiple times
* reboot when switching between chrome & gmail
* Magisk doesn't pass safety net. Roll back to v18 stable produces the same. My stock image works ok on v18

I've figured out how to make a stock rom without knox and some bloat via SuperR kitchen. So far no reboots so I'm good.

Im glad you figured this out. This is also what I do apart from adding a few mods.
Does your version work with safety net?

Safety net is passed on my version, yes. V18 Stable

 

[dr460nf1r3]

Safety net is passed on my version, yes. V18 Stable

Then this is caused by my added apps/mods. Ill provide a less altered version of the ark4 firmware for everyone else wishing to pass safety net soon.
In fact, most of my modifications can be added by magisk modules such as the google play store doze or fonts etc. So thats also a way.

Do you happen to have a list of the removed stock apps?

Who knows if it supports Korean version 6G RAM?

 

[littlebro]

Any chance to add a quick installation guide? I have done many flashes and know things could go terribly wrong with just a tiny mis-step.

 

[airmaxx23]

I installed this a little while ago and everything seems to be working fine except the camera does nothing when I open it. As a result of the camera not working I can't get Duo working. Any suggestions?

Installed and running great on my T835 with latest Modesty Kernel 0.99.17. Thanks

Bluetooth keyboard

Hello, I'm trying to connect an external bluetooth keypad. Pairing will be fine. The keyboard reports that it is connected as an input device. But when I type on the keyboard, no characters are displayed. The previous version of the stock was in the works. Any solution?

Ah huh...walked down this path already and I have the solution for you...at least what worked for me. Please check post #140 in this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s4/development/kernel-modesty-0-99-4-t3856088/page3

Whilst I appreciate that returning to the stock kernel was an acceptable solution for you, I would still be interested in troubleshooting the problem with you if you can supply me with some logs. The same goes for anyone else experiencing Bluetooth issues.

If you can provide some logs, I would be happy to look into this for you.

How do I get the protocols?

OK, how do we do that? I have my device all nicely set up and am reluctant to start testing and flashing stuff but I think its nice to try out this custom kernel finally...

Thanks for the rom.

Start from fresh and delete one at a time, it's time consuming but normally is a combination of apps, to figure out which ones not to delete

Hello,
Just get a bluetooth mouse (Logitech M557 and no way to see the pointer on the tab screen.
Mouse is paired correctly and works fine with my Pixel 3
Have installed the libsecure bluetooth fix in Magisk already.

Is it related to this rom?
Thanks

I'm also experiencing this issue. I have a Logitech MX Ergo Plus and it's connecting but I can't get a pointer on the screen. It worked before I had this ROM installed. Is there a fix? I really love this ROM with Google Sans and everything but I would really love to get a mouse working. I'm using a T830 with 64gb. While I'm here, I'm having a (less important) issue where I can't update Magisk without the boot hanging. I can just flash a version from earlier this month, so it's no big deal.

It's probably related to the Modesty kernel. Several users have reported that Bluetooth input devices are not working. Unfortunately, I don't have such a device to test with.

I need an affected user to try some older versions of the kernel to determine when the issue was introduced.
