WHAT'S NEW
Regular/Debloated version 1.0:
Initial build, based on official KitKat 4.4.2 XXDNK1 firmware (Peru) from sammobile.
INSTALLATION
I tested all versions of the rom on my own device and everything works well, but you know the drill: This will trip Knox and void warranty. Flash at your own risk and always make a backup in recovery before flashing
Make a Backup!
Download the rom (links at the end of this post)
Reboot to recovery mode
Wipe data, cache, dalvik, and system
Install the rom
Wipe cache, dalvik again to be safe
Reboot
Post-installation notes:
If you have trouble obtaining root access, flash the latest SuperSu binary (.zip format) through recovery. You can get the .zip file here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23427715. Now reboot and install the SuperSu app from the Play Store (only if it's not already installed on your device). Next, start up the SuperSu app. You may be asked to update binaries at this point-- if so, make sure you select the "Normal" method instead of the "CWM/TWRP method". You can also try switching SuperSu's Default Access setting from "Prompt" to "Grant".

Just a few tips and tricks. I'll add more when there's time...
You know the drill: Any modifications or flashes to your device are done at your own risk. Keep a recent backup for extra safety
Changing your boot animation:
Search online or in XDA and download a new boot animation to your phone (Google is your friend). There should be two files, both in the .qmg format. Make sure they are named bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg (If not, rename them now).
Use Root Explorer to navigate to /system/media/ on your phone.
Rename bootsamsung.qmg to bootsamsung.qmg.bak (if prompted to remount as read-write, press "Yes").
Rename bootsamsungloop.qmg to bootsamsungloop.qmg.bak (if prompted to remount as read-write, press "Yes").
Use Root Explorer to move (or copy) your new boot animation to the /system/media/ folder
Use Root Explorer to change the permissions on the new system/media/bootsamsung.qmg file to 644 (rw-r--r--)
Use Root Explorer to change the permissions on the new system/media/bootsamsungloop.qmg file to 644 (rw-r--r--)
Reboot!
Changing your shutdown animation:
Search online or in XDA and download a new shutdown animation to your phone (Google is your friend). Your animation should be in the .qmg format. Make sure it is named shutdown.qmg (If not, rename it now).
Use Root Explorer to navigate to /system/media/ on your phone.
Rename shutdown.qmg to shutdown.qmg.bak (if prompted to remount as read-write, press "Yes").
Use Root Explorer to move (or copy) your new shutdown animation to the /system/media/ folder
Use Root Explorer to change the permissions on the new system/media/shutdown.qmg file to 644 (rw-r--r--)
Reboot!

I am running this build on one of my n5110's and it is a great build. It's smooth as can be. I like having a good stock build to work with sometimes and this rom is definitely that. Thank you for the rom.

Hey, just wanted to say that i really enjoy the your debloated version. I have it running with the boefla kernel and it works great. Since I only use my device for basic stuff (reading comics, searching something and such) I wanted something reliable and that's what it is - great!

Flashed this yesterday. Working well. Using the debloated version with boeffla kernel.
Xposed, Wanam, and XBlast working without issue. (Wanam & XBlast have an option that will give you 4-way reboot - also an Xposed module that might work)
Aircommand (thanks @jazzespresso) also works fine on this build. Just remember Chrome browser will crash since it has issues with Aircommand. Use Chrome Beta instead.

Updated my tablet with this and now I cannot use wifi. It will not switch on. Tried a second factory wipe/reset, even tried reinstalling again and it will just not turn on. Any idea's?

Hmm not sure... Only one other user reported this and there have been a few hundred downloads. I never heard back from them so I assumed they eventually resolved it. Check out my replies to that user from the Q&A thread, and then post back here if still no success

Since removing ads from browser and apps was one of the main reasons to root my DX I decided to make this tutorial. Problem is you can't just install AdAway (link) and run it because after a reboot you'll have to do it again. This method is keeping the ads away even after a reboot. Remember that you'll have to update AdAway-hosts files regularly.
All credits go to Yasir Javed Ansari. I only finetuned the method he described a little bit. Because his post is somewhere in another thread it seemed right to make a tutorial for it in the themes and apps section.
First of all you'll need a properly rooted DX with superuser 3.1.3 installed. See here for a zip to install superuser and busybox or here to download a pre-rooted 1.18 stock deodexed rom with superuser and busybux installed provided by infernal77. I'm using this rom on my DX and removed a lot of bloatware with Aroma (link) right after flashing the rom. Credits go to merovig for sharing info about flashable superuser/busybox-zip and Aroma and of course to infernal77 for providing his deodexed stock rom. Although it seems that this method shouldn't be necessary when using a deodexed rom I couldn't get it to work without using the command lines, so I decided to share it anyway.
In settings - power, uncheck 'fast boot'.
Install AdAway from Play Store. Run AdAway (don't download hosts files yet) and go to settings - preferences. Check 'allow redirections' and under 'target hosts file' select '/data/data/hosts'.
Reboot to recovery and then mount /system and mount /data.
While in recovery-mode connect the device to a PC and open a command prompt.
Type:
adb shell
cd system/etc
rm hosts
ln -s /data/data/hosts hosts
Disconnect the device from PC and reboot.
Now you can run AdAway: download files and apply ad blocking.
Done!
Nice one, added to Index.
@op, Good job.
Although my tutorial was word by word the same, apart from maybe few spelling mistakes. ;p
Above is required for Stock Rom which is rooted.
On custom and rooted Rom , you don't need to perform above steps as system is write permitted so running ad away normally works fine.
Regards
Yasir

Hehe I know, the only thing I added was the /etc
Problem is that when I install for example infernals rooted stock deodexed rom, and then I install AdAway and hosts files, they don't survive a reboot. When I redirect the hosts file to /data/data/hosts AdAway states it can't create the symlink. That's why I still use your method even on a pre-rooted rom.

This symlink method(not mine) is present in ad away FAQs. So credit to the app team.

Nice guide, first time I'm adfree, even after a reboot
did anyone get it working on desire x... mine still shows ads in apps...
I don't know, after all I'm an amateur, but the problem nightcrow described about how stuff goes back to stock after a reboot is something that happens a lot with the DX's - same thing with the bloatware. I had to remove the bloat apps from a rom.zip and flash that to avoid the problem. Seems to me there is some kind of security built in that goes beyond the norm. Otherwise I don't see why apps like Titanium work to remove apps (even after reboot) for example on most other phones, but not the DX.
Meherzad, I followed the instructions posted by nightcrow and it works for me ... try again, reboot and open an app you know normally has ads to check if it works.
Failed first time (forgot to uncheck fast boot:banghead. Reinstalled and did everything again, now works flawlesly.
ok.. working great......

Might be but I'm not sure. I'm on 3.1.3 and it works fine. Although getting ADB to work in twrp recovery is a bit of a struggle for now.
What exactly doesn't work for you?

Why do you need ADB when you have TERMINAL in twrp. Just wondering

Thanks for the tutorial works great with Superuser 3.2. Just to clarify something, should I leave "fast boot" mode off now?

benz, i've installed the rom...unfortunately, the nfc failed to load....dialog box keep popping up with message "unfortunately nfc service had stopped"....had to restore nandroid backup.....hopefully this can be resolved..
Go to root explorer, navigate to /system/app or /system/framework and delete any .odex files you can find in there, but first give me the names of all .odex files in there.
Edit: I think I've found a solution.
Flash Odex-remove_I8190N.zip attached below and report back.

Any advice for that?

try follow this sequence :
1-install the rom from cwm
2-install the odex zip file
3-reboot and set up phone
4-reboot recovery flash the cwm setting....
mine got stuck several time in the samsung initial setting.....the select language to be exact....
You don't have to flash Odex-remove anymore because the script now deletes /system/app and /system/framework directories.
Wait I'll update the ROM again

WHAT'S NEW
Spoiler
Regular/Debloated v3.21:
Added CSC folder back into the rom (LTE icon is back).
Removed multiple apks that weren't being properly debloated in a few of the previous rom versions -- see list of removed apps in OP.
Regular/Debloated v3.2:
Updated to latest official N910W8 base from sammobile.com
Updated SuperSu to v2.62.
Different build method -- used "sparse_dat" instead of "set_metadata" to avoid bootloops.
A few apks that I normally remove from the Debloated version were left untouched this time (Dropbox, Flipboard, ChocoEUKor, CoolEUKor). Just remove them manually if needed
Rom now boots with Selinux Enforcing stock kernel!
Regular/Debloated v3.1:
Fixed to allow boot with modded stock kernel (used "set_perm" instead of "set_metadata". Big thank you to Raziel2k6 for all his help with the kernel boot issue!).
Rom now includes modified stock Selinux Enforcing COI4 5.1.1 kernel from OP2. Note: new kernel seems to cause issues with the camera. If your camera force closes, or if you get bootloops due to latest Samsung policy security update, then use a custom 5.1.1 kernel for now until these issues can be resolved.
Updated SuperSu to v2.50 beta.
Note that after booting up you will see a black screen for 5-10 seconds. I'm not exactly sure what the cause is, but I'll continue working on it. For now it doesn't seem to affect anything beyond that.
Removed several more apks in the debloated version that were missed in v3.0 (Bridge, ChocoEUKor, CoolEUKor, Drive, Dropbox, Flipboard, Hangouts, UniversalMDMClient, YouTube).
Regular/Debloated v3.0:
Updated to latest official Samsung 5.1.1 Lollipop COI4 base (Bell Mobility Canada).
The rom's included stock kernel will not boot because the rom is rooted (new 5.1.1 security...yay). Be sure to flash a custom 5.1.1 kernel like Emotion or AEL after installing the rom in TWRP! I'm working to find another solution regarding the stock kernel for a subsequent update, but if no success then I will at least look into including a custom 5.1.1 kernel so the rom boots without needing to flash another kernel afterwards.
SuperSu seems to allow us to use "Prompt" instead of "Grant" again. If you have any problems though, just switch to back to "Grant".
Removed as many Knox files as possible from the Debloated version, but left everything intact for the Regular version to keep it as close to possible to stock (since some might use this base for further development). Either way, you may get KNOX-related FCs after the initial boot, especially on Regular. Recommend you run Titanium Backup at this point, and search for any apps containing the word "knox". Freeze all the apps that appear and you should be good to go from there.
Regular/Debloated v2.5:
Updated to latest official 5.0.1 Lollipop BOE2 base (Bell Mobility Canada) from sammobile.
Stagefright patch.
Regular/Debloated v2.4:
Based on new BOF2 firmware released for the N910W8 (Puerto Rico). Not clear what changes are in this build compared to BOE1 firmware, but hey it's here if anyone is curious .
ROM is based for Puerto Rico, so it's not in English by default. During initial setup you can change the language to English. You'll also want to change the language to English in the keyboard settings menu, as well as in the Handwriting Recognition settings (under Settings/Language and Input).
More carrier bloatware in this firmware release (compared to what we usually get from Bell, Telus, etc.). The "Regular" version of my rom is always kept as close to stock as possible, so Regular v2.4 includes the "Claro" boot animation, shutdown animation, .ogg sound files, wallpapers, and related apks. All of these have been removed in Debloated v2.4 though (well, all except for one pesky apk I couldn't find...just disable/freeze claro.apk after rom installation and first boot).
Regular/Debloated v2.3:
Updated to latest official 5.0.1 Lollipop BOE1 base (Telus) from sammobile.
Debloated v2.2:
Used a new debloat process and also fixed FC when using the front-facing camera.
Regular/Debloated v2.1:
Updated to latest official 5.0.1 Lollipop BOC4 base (Bell Mobility Canada) from sammobile.
Securestorage and read/write permissions are unchanged from stock in these latest builds. This provides a clean base for everyone. See post #2 for instructions on tweaking these settings if you prefer.
Regular/Debloated version 1.1:
Restored external SD card write permissions
Disabled securestorage support (improved compatibility with Xposed)
Regular/Debloated version 1.0:
Initial build, based on official KitKat 4.4.4 AOA1 firmware (Bell Mobility Canada) from sammobile.
ROM INSTALLATION
I tested all versions of the rom on my own device and everything works well, but you know the drill: This will trip Knox and void warranty. Flash at your own risk and always make a backup in recovery before flashing
Make a Backup!
Make sure you are on the correct base firmware (e.g. COI4, AOA1, BOC4, etc). If not then download it through sammobile.com and flash it through Odin.
Make sure you have twrp installed. If not, download it on xda and install it through odin.
Download the rom (links at the end of this post).
Reboot to recovery mode.
Wipe data, cache, dalvik, and system
Install the rom.
Note: As of Regular/Debloated v3.2, you do not need to install a custom kernel to boot! For Regular v3.0 and v3.1 though, you will need to flash a Selinux permissive custom kernel (e.g. Emotion, AEL, Beastmode) at this point in the process or you will get stuck in a boot loop.
Reboot (if prompted, do NOT allow TWRP to install supersu. It says it's not installed but it is).
Phone may bootloop once but then will boot fine after that (normal effect of using supersu 2.62). Enjoy!
Post-installation notes:
Known bugs (as of latest builds): Action memo not working on Regular/Debloated builds. Will fix as soon as I can figure it out or as soon as someone lets me know the cause!
For 5.0.1 roms only: Open the SuperSu app to see if you're prompted to update binaries. If so, update them using the "Normal" method and not the "CWM/TWRP" method. If you are on 5.0.1, make sure to also change the SuperSu app's "Default Prompt" from "Prompt" to "Grant".
For 5.1.1 only: If you get any Knox-related FCs after initial boot-up, particularly if you're on Regular v3.0 or v3.1. Just freeze any remaining Knox apks through TitaniumBackup. If you encounter any other FCs (such as Google Maps or Samsung Link Platform), just make sure to update the problematic app from the Play Store/Samsung's Galaxy Apps Store or disable the app altogether.

Modified N910W8 COI4 5.1.1 Stock Kernel (beta)
If anyone is interested I have a beta kernel available for download/testing/feedback!
I modified the 5.1.1 stock COI4 kernel to allow it to boot COI4-based 5.1.1 roms rooted with supersu beta v2.50-v2.52. Kernel is otherwise pure stock, and boots in Selinux Enforcing mode (yes, rooted). Big thank you to Chainfire for figuring this one out and sharing with XDA.
As always, I never share anything without testing it first...but it's still beta so make a backup please and flash at your own risk
KNOWN BUGS:
Camera force closes on custom 5.1.1 roms, but works fine on rooted stock 5.1.1. If using a custom 5.1.1 rom, please use a custom 5.1.1 kernel.
UPDATE #1: Latest Samsung security policy update seems to have killed root and cause bootloops when using the modded Selinux enforcing kernel on 5.1.1 roms. For now you will need a selinux permissive custom kernel unless chainfire can identify another solution.
UPDATE #2: Chainfire has released SuperSu beta v2.62 which now modifies the stock kernel directly on your device (without having to manually modify it first). This means that for the newer COK3 firmware a separate modified kernel is no longer necessary to run root on stock. Will leave this kernel here anyways, in case someone wants to use it to run a system-based root on stock COI4. Otherwise I suggest using the newer SuperSu methods like systemless 2.62 and beyond as Chainfire released new updates for us.
KERNEL INSTALLATION:
Boot to TWRP recovery
Flash a COI4-based rom (skip this step if you already have a compatible rom installed)
Flash SuperSu beta 2.50 (skip this step if your rom already has supersu 2.50-2.52 installed)
Flash modified COI4 kernel (see download link below)
Reboot
KERNEL DOWNLOAD:
SelEnforce COI4 v0.1: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347832210
Just a few tips and tricks. I'll add more when there's time...
You know the drill: Any modifications or flashes to your device are done at your own risk. Keep a recent backup for extra safety
Restoring debloated apps (for Debloated rom only):
HWModuleTest: Restores the ability to enter the Samsung diagnostic menu system code (*#0*#) through the dialer. To install, begin by downloading the apk to your phone. Then use Root Explorer to create a new folder named "HwModuleTest" (without the quotes) in your phone's /system/priv-app/ folder. Change the new folder's permissions to rwxr-xr-x and then copy the apk you downloaded to this new folder you just created. Change permissions on the file to rw-r--r-- and reboot! The code should now work properly and allow you to access the diagnostic menu. Thank you to Larkstarr for identifying the apk's functionality and testing the apk!
TaskManager: Restores the TaskManager functionality. To install, begin by downloading the apk to your phone. Then use Root Explorer to create a new folder named "TaskManager" (without the quotes) in your phone's /system/app/ folder. Change the new folder's permissions to rwxr-xr-x and then copy the apk you downloaded to this new folder you just created. Change permissions on the file to rw-r--r-- and reboot! The code should now work properly and allow you to access the diagnostic menu. Thank you to Cryingmoose for leading me in the right direction to figure this out out!
Changing your boot animation:
Search online or in XDA and download a new boot animation to your phone (Google is your friend). There should be two files, both in the .qmg format. Make sure they are named bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg (If not, rename them now).
Use Root Explorer to navigate to /system/media/ on your phone.
Rename bootsamsung.qmg to bootsamsung.qmg.bak (if prompted to remount as read-write, press "Yes").
Rename bootsamsungloop.qmg to bootsamsungloop.qmg.bak (if prompted to remount as read-write, press "Yes").
Use Root Explorer to move (or copy) your new boot animation to the /system/media/ folder
Use Root Explorer to change the permissions on the new system/media/bootsamsung.qmg file to 644 (rw-r--r--)
Use Root Explorer to change the permissions on the new system/media/bootsamsungloop.qmg file to 644 (rw-r--r--)
Reboot!
Changing your shutdown animation:
Search online or in XDA and download a new shutdown animation to your phone (Google is your friend). Your animation should be in the .qmg format. Make sure it is named shutdown.qmg (If not, rename it now).
Use Root Explorer to navigate to /system/media/ on your phone.
Rename shutdown.qmg to shutdown.qmg.bak (if prompted to remount as read-write, press "Yes").
Use Root Explorer to move (or copy) your new shutdown animation to the /system/media/ folder
Use Root Explorer to change the permissions on the new system/media/shutdown.qmg file to 644 (rw-r--r--)
Reboot!

Thanks for the deodexed A1. Not sure why but when I flash I lose modem no wifi or signal. It says no sim I am on Rogers I know it says bmc but with the csc removed it shouldn't make a difference. I tried flashing the modem through odin, no go had to flash whole rom through odin . Also get a direct pen error as well not sure what app deals with that

Had you ever upgraded to AOA1 through Odin before? If not then your experience makes sense. You need to odin flash the new base at least once before flashing new AOA1 roms through recovery. Now that you have, you should be ok moving forward.

Ok thanks for the feedback. Hmm, is it possible the APNs were reset to Bell instead of Rogers by flashing this? Not sure if that would cause your issue but just a thought... If so you would need to enter your own APN info after flashing this. If not, well I could always build a version based off the Rogers firmware and add it to the first post if you're willing to try it out. For the s-pen issue I'll need to flash the debloated version tonight and see if I get the same error. Might be one of the removed apps because the regular version works fine for me, although from looking at the list of removed apps I dont immediately see anything that would cause a problem.
OK so the the full version has no issues just the debloated version if that helps narrow it down

I had the same issue when i flashed the de-bloated version of your rom, probably the csc you removed because when i flash the firmware you pm'd me it works just fine
Ok, looks like it's all sorted out now. After a lot of digging and testing it seems like it was simply a bad build with the Debloated version and nothing to do with any of the theories I mentioned lol. I had the same issues as everyone else with the previous debloated version, but this new one works fine for me now (finally!).
I have re-uploaded the fixed Debloated version and updated the link/md5 in OP. Let me know if you run into any issues with the new build. If you happen to get an S_Planner Force Close error, just click ok and reboot. I only got it once but it seems to disappear for good after that first time.
Also, I'm assuming that since the Regular version seems to be working on Rogers then it should also work for other supported Canadian carriers like Telus, Fido, etc... Anyone else not with Bell who can confirm?
Working for me. Thanks
The debloated version didn't work for me. It downloads fine but I get an "unexpected end of archive" error when I try to open it up on my PC. Also it doesn't want to copy to the phone over USB. It seems to be an archiving issue. I'll try to download it again, maybe over a different mirror link. I'll post updates...

Yes, it may have been a bad download. I downloaded it again and it worked just fine. A few observations though!
1. If this is a Bell base why is it that the LTE symbol in the status bar was replaced by a 4G symbol? I've been with Bell for as long as I know and I've never seen the 4G symbol in
the status bar for LTE networks?
2. I would suggest including the modified platform.xml in the ROM - for full access to the external SD (adding media_rw)
3. While on stock (rooted) I was never able to mount media_rw at boot by automatically running a script for a shell command (made a new userinit.sh file and placed it under data/local/). Normally, the file userinit.sh should be automatically executed at boot but it never did work. The userinit.sh would be:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
busybox mount -o remount,rw /
chmod 770 /mnt/media_rw
I always assumed it was due to not having init.d support, however I just tried it on this ROM and it still doesn't execute it. I've also tried using the same script with ROM Toolbox'
scripter and set the script to run at boot but it doesn't do anything at all. Any idea, suggestions?
Ota with these apps installed is impossible ! Full flash stock rom before ota

5) (es file explorer users only) you may experience app crashes. Don't worry about them and reboot to twrp
6) flash c-apps package
7) (aroma file manager users only) mount system read-write in twrp options and disable the mount system read-only checkbox, then flash aroma file manager again and rename /system/app/incalluix -> /system/app/incallui (remove the x) and do the same to /system/priv-app/dialerx -> /system/priv-app/dialer (remove the x, do not change the case of the letters ! )
8) (aroma file manager users only) exit it and reboot to system
9) (es file explorer users only) follow step 7 after booting into android
10) (es file explorer users only) reboot your phone
11) now, disable these apps after booting into android (they do not work)
(I couldn't find the time to upload screenshots, coming soon !)
Edit :- screenshots added, check attachments
Truedialer works (partially, incallui doesn't work, dualsim works) but I prefer stock that is why I disabled it
Only use 1 dialer app or they may conflict !
Working :-
Cm account
Gallery
Email
Calendar
True caller service
Cm anti-theft
Screencast screen recorder
Etc etc

1. I couldn't find "disable only mount system read-only" in TWRP. Anyway, I flashed Aroma File Manager,
2. renamed said files, exited Aroma,
3. flashed C-Apps package,
4. again flashed Aroma, went inside /system to rename files, they were replaced by DailerNext and InCallUiNext, exited Aroma,
5. rebooted to system.
6. Found that stock apps have been replaced(Nevermind, I'm not fan of them anyway).
I followed TWRP procedure.

Early Build of TWRP for the T285 (see post by @ashyx will update this if an official version is released. The T280 version should be available not far behind I believe
Update 09/21/2016
-----------------------
V5 now out (root, deodexed, xposed) for the SM-T280/T285, still working on the SM-T280
Update 09/20/2016
------------------------
Turns out this device is not as locked as we all thought it too be. See thread below for my ordeal and more details:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-a/help/resources-samsung-galaxy-tab-7-0-2016-t3431022
Modifications:
===========
* Based on LMY47V.T285XXU0APCN

* Removed Touchwiz launcher and redundant samsung apps (Hancom office, Kidzone), replaced with Trebuchet
* Enabled r/w to the external SD Card
* Dolby Atmos mod (09/11/2016) (thanks to @Nando14sunny)
* Deodexed/Xposed (09/13/2016) (thanks to @wanam and @rovo89)

* V5: root chainfire's SuperSu 2.78 (09/21/2016) (thanks to @Chainfire)
* stock boot animation
Special thanks also to @ashyx for initially taking a look at this device , I haven't given up on rooting this device yet.
Special thanks to @klemen241 for helping me try out the SM-T280 build
Haven't done extensive testing on Xposed modules, but the pokemon go iv mod/hacked worked and that was good enough for me (Before pokemon Go was patched). If you use this ROM feedback is highly appreciated
NOTES: To be safe, perform a cache wipe using recovery. I didn't need to do this personally but I haven't tested all use cases
NOTES: Since this rom is deodexed, the first boot will take quite a while, so please be patient .
NOTES: if you are coming from V2 and are using the mount_ext4 apps2sd scripts please update it for additional support for the V3 ROM HERE:
https://github.com/jedld/smt285_data_scripts
NOTES: (09/13/2016) Unfortunately, the V3 build fails the Google SafetyNet check, will be a problem if you play Pokemon Go
Other Notes: Removed support for zygote.init scripts in V3 as I am now using the app_process32_xposed binary, will work to get this back soon. I haven't had a need for zygote scripts though. The vold.init scripts shoud still work as before if you are using the apps2sd script
Installation Instructions:
Odin or Heimdall Required. I you are coming from the Stock Rom please wipe/factory reset to be sure. If you are upgrading from V1 or V2 you are not required to wipe unless there are problems. If you are upgrading to V3 cache wipe is recommended using recovery.
--FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK--
1. Make sure to backup of your data and have a copy of your stock Rom in case something goes wrong.
2. Make sure your device is OEM unlocked. (Enable Developer settings and Enable the OEM unlock settings)
3. Extract ZIP file below and flash the tar.md5 file using ODIN, for details on this kindly look for instructions in the xda site.
4. For Heimdall you can use 7zip to extract the system.img from the tar.md5 and just flash the system.img itself.
Choose the appropriate download for the model (wifi only T280/ lte T285) that you have:

If you have suggestions, send me a PM.
Other Notes (So people don't have to ask):
* I've tried to run superuser daemonsu, but unfortunately the sepolicy scopes for vold and zygote are too narrow in this device for supersu to use despite being root. In theory a version of daemonsu can be made specifically to run on this device with a somewhat castrated functionality though I don't have access to the source code to figure it out. Navigating the sepolicy landmine is hard.
WIFI ISSUES
=========
There are reports of wifi problems with the latest build due to wrong permissions with dhcp hooks, if so you can do the following (big thanks to @_mone):
Using adb shell:
Code:
su
mount -o rw,remount,rw /system
chmod 755 /system/etc/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-run-hooks
mount -o ro,remount,ro /system
/system is readonly by default, which is why you need the remount commands. Reboot your device after just to make sure.
Hi,
The mount_ext4_sdcard.sh script moves all apps to SD card on reboot?
Edit: did not read till the end. System apps are not move.

It won't by default for safety purposes, however you are welcome to edit the script and try to move them all

Thanks for your hard work. It's a pity this device is not as popular as their other models or more people would have already signed the petition.
I regret not doing more research before buying this tablet.
Hello there
At first i want to thank you for your hard work so far
Then i've got a question,
I just built this Tablet (LTE version) in my car. Now i'm on to configure it with Tasker to "act more like a car radio". It was really hard, because of the non rooted device.. But i did it so far
I used a sound mod, called Dolby Atmos (i think it's from lenovo?) on allmost every of my rooted devices to improve its sound.
I'm wondering if it would be possible that you could build in this mod inside a rom for me?
Normally i flash it as a zip file via a custom recovery so it's in the system files. but maybe you could edit it in there before the rom get flashed via odin? I could give you the zip, if u dont find it. It would be really nice!
Greetings from germany

we could try, could you point me to a rom that has the specified libraries for Dolby?
Thank you, for the fast answer!
Here is the flashable zip of the Dolby Atmos, mod i used successfully on my other devices:

Wow thank you! I'll test it right now
Edit:
It works like a charm! You really improved my devie with it!
Hi,
If it's not too troublesome, perhaps the next version can symlink the host file to a r/w folder so that ads can be blocked.
Thanks.

Possible, though the only r/w partition is data and cache, and it may potentially cause problems when you suddenly try to do a wipe. I'm working on deodexing and porting xposed framework for now. Either that if you've got some IP addresses that need to be blocked I can create an edition that has those entries. I'll see what I can do though there might be away to do it without breaking factory reset/wipe cache.

No hurry. I can wait. What you are doing now is more important. :good:

Wish Granted. As a bonus, the latest version of the ROM is now deodexed and Xposed, please refer to the main post for the updates.
Feedback is appreciated.

May need to modify build.prop, you may do this yourself here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-a/how-to/guide-samsung-galaxy-tab-7-0-sm-t285-t3438296
Also there may be an Xposed framework modules that do that. Not sure though since I'm ok with the stock DPI

Thanks. Will need to find time to re-flash this weekend.
Regarding xposed have you actually tested any other modules that need root?
I already built a rom with xposed but it was all but useless because pretty much all the modules I use need root.
most of those I tried don't need root so far (youtube adaway, pokemon go iv). Haven't tried those that need root but I suppose those wouldn't work.
I use app settings and it works for dpi change, and you are welcome. I am glad to test stuff, its fun haha. If anyone has questions about t280 you can ask me
how can i boost the volume? since its not rooted i cant find the mixer.xml
