SM-T350 Users!

[ParadoXGodzillA]

As you may know, I'm still learning and this project will be my primary one in order to keep the SM-T350 users happy with their device.

Your device will need to have these same specs (If not, I may support your device in the near future. If your device is the same as the device I'm creating a custom rom for but not the same Android version, Kernel Version, Build Number, etc. please update it through ODIN/Heimdall/Samsung Kies/Samsung Smart Switch to the latest version. If you have to use ODIN or Heimdall, please get your Samsung firmware at https://updato.com).

Prerequisite specs:
Model Number: SM-T350
Android Version: 6.0.1
Android Security Patch Level: April 1, 2017
Build Number: MMB29M.T350XXU1BQD1
SE for Android Status: Enforcing
Security Software Version: ASKS v1.2_161011
KNOX Version: KNOX 2.6 // Standard SDK 5.6.0 // Premium SDK 2.6.0 // Customization SDK 2.6.0 // Container 2.6.0 // CEP 2.0.1 // OTP 2.6.0 // SE for Android 2.4.0 // SSO 2.5.0 // Shared Devices 2.6.0 // TIMA 3.2.005 // VPN 2.2.5

I highly recommend you to have these same exact modifications, use the same Build Number that is listed from Updato.

I might have to get some sources from @ashyx to create a newer TWRP for this device (I know, Build Numbers don't matter for TWRP, but this will be important as this will be a large project).

I will update this again so please make sure to turn on subscription. I will need testers soon after it works on my device.

MORE TO BE ADDED! I will only add more features if you request me! (Not DM but posting with my name attached to it).

Hope you guys can give me some guides to use to create a custom rom and some requests too! Thanks!

Will be updated from time to time!

How is it turning out?

 

[Niropa]

Still been kinda busy with nexus 6p devlopment but really hope I can help jump-start development over here for our device.

If you can link me to the device sources on github and kernel (if you have them) it'll be a piece of cake.

Also did our device ever have lollipop?

is this it?

although this is evervolv's .... idk. I Google searched this cuz I'd love to see my tablet not be bulky

we never got lollipop. tbh I don't even know if Samsung cares at this point for any device not in the S series

I'm so happy that someone is porting Lineage OS to this device. I was on the verge of doing it myself but I saw that you were doing it, and you way have more experience than me. Could you deodex the rom?
Thank you!

Good luck with this not a developer but willing to help out in other ways.

Our device did have Lollipop. To be exact it was 5.0.2. There was no such thing as 5.1.1.

We did get Lollipop, it came with my tablet in late 2015 (5.0.2) and then in 2016, it updated to 6.0.1. It is still updating heavily. The latest update was made in December of 2016.

I'd almost given up hope of someone developing a custom rom for the t350! Seeing this news makes me very happy. I love my little tablet but I do truly despise the touchwiz ui, and never understood why this device wasn't more widely adopted by the community. Granted it doesn't have the best specs in the world, but it's by far not junk ether.

I think I've tweaked and modded mine as much as humanly possible in an effort to change the stock os look and feel, but its a samsung os, so there's only so much you can do to help it.

A fresh RR build is exactly what the Dr. ordered to breath new life into this thing. So excited!

would you be abe to point me in the right direction to download it? ill do a bit of searching myself to

EDIT: actually think i found it pretty quick lol thanks anyways

 

[Jacobwitt]

I've got a t350 with those exact specs! Leme know if you need testers

 

[untimateandroid1]

it's been a while since this project was posted. Just to ask, how much of it is finished?


Edit: How can I sign up to be a tester?

Will this work on the t355?

I can be a beta tester. Same device, and i can just flash the required firmware version

dead?

Well, according to his reply in the SM-T350 updated to Android 7.1.1 and rooted thread, he hasn't had the chance to start on the custom rom. Still, in that thread, it sounds like you can use the same process for Android 6.X with 7.X to gain root. Not sure to what extent. I may look into trying it myself but, for now, my SM-350 with Nougat does what I need for the moment but, yeah, miss having root.

Are you going to be working on updating this ROM for the latest update? (T350XXU1CQJ5)

Prerequisite specs:
Model Number: SM-T350
Android Version: 7.1.1
Android Security Patch Level: August 1, 2017
Build Number: NMF26X.T350XXU1CQJ5
SE for Android Status: Enforcing
Security Software Version: ASKS v1.4 Release 161228
KNOX Version: KNOX 2.8 // Standard SDK 5.8.0 // Premium SDK 2.8.0 // Customization SDK 2.8.0 // Container 2.8.0 // CEP 2.2.0 // OTP 2.6.0 // SE for Android 2.4.3 // Shared Devices 2.8.0 // TIMA 3.3.005 // VPN 2.4.0

I understand it will be hard, considering the old TWRP doesn't work for any Android 7.1.1 build on the T350, I am eager to find a working custom ROM for this version, or even just a working custom recovery.

 

[Delgoth]

I just picked this tablet up yesterday and it has the same build. I already did a quick dive into the model number, and if you're trying to port Lineage I'm about trying to help with that. As that was at least part of my goal with getting a new device.

Yes I can confirm the SM-T350 has the same rooting procedure in 7.1.1 used the same chainfire supersu flash .zip via TWRP recovery [emoji4]
