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.

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

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.

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
Haven't seen anyone else discussing this particular solution yet so figured I'd share that we can boot multiple roms using dual boot patcher by @chenxiaolong.
*The only things I'd recommend are the following:
*MAKING A BACKUP FIRST IN RECOVERY. Especially if you've never used the app, this helps in case you misunderstood something or didn't read enough or didn't think enough or the dog ate your homework.
*I recommend using TWRP version 3.0.3-0 which can be found here - https://dl.twrp.me/angler/
* I have not tried this with f2fs only ext4 so naturally I'd only recommend using ext4 partitioning on your device.
* If your device is encrypted in any way booting multiple roms will not work, which should be obvious but I'll state that anyways. Thanks @JKforUA for helping us figure this out.
*If you want to boot more than just two roms, that you use the data slot options for your roms which can be named anything you'd like and they will be stored on the phones internal storage.
* Make sure you're on the latest Radio and Bootloader for the nexus 6p, I flashed this and it works fine and is backwards compatible with Marshmallow roms.
Radio & Bootloader link -
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/nexus-6p-radio-bootloader-recovery-t3433637
* Use the patcher app to update the ramdisk and set your primary rom's kernel as Primary before patching or flashing anything.
*If you use the fingerprint scanner you'll have to delete the file /data/system/locksettings.db in each multi boot directory, this disables getting an incorrect pin error when switching roms.
*If using a marshmallow and nougat rom you'll need to flash the appropriate vendor image in recovery before boot.
*Vendor images should not be patched.
This process is fairly simple to me because I've been using it for years but if you have any questions feel free to ask in this thread and hit thanks if I helped ya.
* Before reporting errors I would suggest you try the following steps-
1. Make sure you're using this version of the patcher app because it is the one I have been using without issue -
Version 9.1.0r80-
https://dbp.noobdev.io/files/9.1.0....atcherAndroid-9.1.0.r80.gd5920b2-snapshot.apk
2. Make sure you have enough free space to have two of the zips you want to use because that is what you will have after you patch.
3. Make sure your path to the zip is correct when browsing for the zip, go through internal storage to the directory where the zip is.
4. If you get any error patching, uninstall the patcher app, re-download it, and reinstall it.
5. There is also a Windows version you can try if you prefer.
*If you are still having issues we can discuss it here, and if nobody can seem to come up with a fix in this thread then errors can further be reported by following instructions here - https://dbp.noobdev.io/downloads/

Thanks for sharing, I've never heard of this before. A few questions;
How similar/dissimilar to multirom is this?
Do I need a specific kernel, or will it with with any kernel?
I briefly read through the original thread, am I creating a zip that flashes two Roms, or is the zip something that flashes alongside the ROM I currently have?
Thanks for sharing. Used this on my further G4. Didn't know that our device is supported. So no need to wait until multirom is working on 7.1.1. Gonna play around now.
Where do we report errors? I was about to patch several files and the app crashed. I have a couple log files.

I actually prefer it because it's what I'm used to, you can patch whatever kernel you choose and flash it in recovery, reboot into that rom, open the patcher app, set kernel, profit.
Basically you patch the rom zip you want to flash as secondary, or in my case data slot, naming them 2 and 3 because the Multislot options won't flash anything for me but using data slots works fine. Patch rom, patch gapps, patch whatever kernel, flash all in the whatever succession recommended by the rom op, and you'll automatically boot into the newly flashed rom when you reboot.

Hmmm I found this
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64727670&postcount=8259
I would try re-downloading the app because I haven't had it crash in any roms I've used yet, I just grabbed the latest build, installed, opened, granted root when prompted, updated the ramdisk if needed which is indicated the app, rebooted when prompted, set kernel, and done.
If it's still crashing for you there's the usual force closing the app from your roms settings and clearing the apps cache and data but you probably already tried that?

I'm gonna play with this over the weekend, I like new stuff!
So whatever fkashable zip I patch will be designated during the flash as secondary (or whatever) and won't overwrite my current ROM allowing it to exist along side it?

Correct, so long as you don't patch it as Primary. It will tell you where it's flashing to in recovery. You can also use the dual boot patcher recovery zip for things like switching roms from recovery and wiping roms, wiping multiboot files will get rid of a rom in its entirety if you wanted to replace it with something else. I've always installed the patcher app in my other roms after first boot and used it to set the kernel for that rom too.

If I'm patching for the data partition, am I correct in making all zips (ROM, Gapps, and su) to the same name? (Ex. I named the ROM zip slot "rom2", and then used the same name for the other zips)

Edit: it worked! It's a little more involved than multirom, but it seems to be fine! Easier than I thought.
I've not yet switched between the two, but the app on the secondary (data slot) recognizes the primary
Wow great. Running great on data-slot. Even magisk is supported. Good to have a new playground. Happy to have the 128 GB variant. Gonna do some test with Viper.
How do I switch roms
All perfect. Viper running with magisk. Every rom i tried booting without any problem. So atm the perfect tool to test other rom!

Cortex also flashes the vendor. Maybe this gives the error because in dualboot all roms use the same vendor partition (could be a problem to flash vendor through dualpatcher...). All other roms i tried vendor was not included to flash (only rom und gapps separately). I am just trying cortex too (just ready to flash). Gonna report, if i succeed.

Cortex rom running fine on multiboot on my device. So no problem with vendor in multiboot. I can also switch back to another rom. As gapps i suggest you to use only dynamic gapps (banks gapps). I always use mini dynamic gapps. Opengapps give many problems.... On primary i got rr oms-release from 12.01. ATM running with 3 different rom all on internal sd card. Just pay attention to give always the same name when patching a zip file in dualpatcher.

Did you flash in twrp (3.0.3.0)? I only use twrp to flash a new multiboot rom. Before flashing a new rom just make sure, you patch all necessary zip files (rom, gapps, etc.). Same name means u choose where (on angler i always choose Data slot - this is internal sd card). Then you give the name (no capital letters) and choose the directory to save the patched file. This you do with every zip file for the rom u gonna flash. The new zip file have the original name and the text "....._data-slot-namegiven.zip" (example for data-slot). The part "data-slot-namegiven" should appeir in every name of the patched zip file. I think with our device it's goot to use the data-slot if you have enough space on your internal sd-card. Using Multi Slot could lead to space problems on system partition of the device. Then just flash the patched files one after another in twrp. Don't forget to flash also patched supersu.zip oder magisk.zip to get root (if it's not in the rom included). You need to patch gapps and supersu or magisk for each slot separately. The name of the patched file just says the path for the multiboot rom. So twrp flashes the patched zip to the right place. Sorry if i wrote to much. Hope it's gonna give you some help. More information you find in the original thread of multiboot.
I posted this a while ago in the [sm-a320fl][7.0][firmware] thread. Now in a new thread, so everybody will find it.
I'm not responsible for any damage. My phone was not branded.
This tutorial is only for SM-A320FL, also known as Galaxy A3!
Make sure you read the whole tutorial before doing anything.
Make a backup of your data. You need to make a factory reset!
Also read the additional information in the separated threads! Knox will be tripped after that, so you can't use it any more. And no more Warranty!
You can find a Android 7 version with the latest security patch with google or just use the linked one. Make sure the CSC is correct for your country/language.
1. Download the following stuff:

I have two questions.
1. is it needed to use the Xposed installer by DVDandroid, or does the official one do the same job when using Xposed Magisk module?
2. I read you end in a bootloop when using the Magisk way on the Superman ROM thread for S7

does this also happen with A320FL? I installed Xposed in system because of that and have no problems.

Please read the tutorial! You need SDK 24 if you are on Android 7.

Thanks for the tutorial.
I have two questions.
1. is it needed to use the Xposed installer by DVDandroid, or does the official one do the same job when using Xposed Magisk module?

2. I read you end in a bootloop when using the Magisk way on the Superman ROM thread for S7

In my opinion it will do the same thing and get stuck in a boot loop. Didn't try it.

In your original post you wrote SDK25 twice. So it is not obvious you meant SDK24 and SDK25.
I'm sorry that it didn't work for you. Did you use all the files in the tutorial? What phone do you have and what Android 7 version?
Is it normal that the system takes a while to boot after flashing no verity no encrypt?
Should i hard reset? It is been like 5 mins

I had the same issue - turns out I missed the formatting step in TWRP.
Before flashing no verity, go to Wipe > Format Data Partition (I cant remember the exact wording)

Oh yes, I did. My apologies. It's A5 (2017) and the firmware is A520FXXS2BQJ1 - Galaxy A5 SM-A520F OPS Australia (Optus). Do I have to use the one posted? What is that?

I only tried this tutorial on an A3. Especially the firmware and the TWRP are specialised for the A3. I think the A5 has also quite a different hardware.
Maybe someone in this thread can help you. They root A5:
A5 Root
All works great on my Galaxy A320FL, thanks !!

Anyway, I face the lockscreen lag even if I use Magisk to root my phone. So, sadly no luck for me...

its because you fllashed no verify no encrypt this zip should only be flash when you root with super su ...
am i the only one here finding this tutorial poorly written? example:
"4. Now install via TWRP the Boot image patch no-verity-no-encrypt_ashyx. To do that, just copy the zip file to your SD card. Go to TWRP and install it with the Install option within TWRP. Reboot to System."
if you that and you decide to root with magisk you are fked you are gonna face the lock screen delay after you enter the password.
"5. Copy the XposedInstaller_by_dvdandroid_09_09_17.apk file to your SD card and install the APK. Make sure you have third party sources enabled. Reboot to TWRP."
do we install it?? do we just leave it there???
"8. Open the Magisk Manager and search for Xposed Framework SDK 24. You need the SDK 24 or else it won't work. Install Xposed. "
witch means = find the module and install it, then enable it, then reboot. now go to exposed and install it then reboot again, now you do have it.
by the way sorry for my bad english .
Hi there.
I found something interesting by accident.
Maybe it is not necessary to install the Xposed Framework via Magisk.
Just use the Magisk Manager as a Super SU replacement and install the Xposed Framework (latest version is 89) directly via the new Xposed Installer (latest version is 3.1.5).
Official Xposed by rovo89
It seems that the phone is running a little bit smoother.
Also it seems that the boot patch is causing some problems.
Maybe the whole tutorial needs to be overlooked. But unfortunately I have now time right now.

Sorry I have to replay again. I had just a few minutes this morning.
At point 5 I clearly wrote that you have to install the apk!
At point 8 it should be clear that you have to follow the instructions from Xposed. Everybody knows that and has nothing to do with the basic tutorial.

Xposed, Root and what not is nothing for beginners. I clearly mentioned that you have to read a lot of stuff. This is not for beginners. Instead of whining and telling me how to do stuff, just write your own thread. Link everything and mention resources. Not everything in this world is baby save. You have to educate yourself!
I overlooked the whole tutorial. I think it is better now and baby save.

Thank you for your help. I updated my phone to the newest Android 7 version today. I had the same problem and solved it with your method. So I implemented this step into the tutorial.
Hello everyone, I have a problem on which audio enhancement to use? I tried to install Viper4Android_FX_v2505_A7.x_Nougat_IO_test_fix.apk, but it does not install the necessary drivers, my problem is that I use Spotify and the sound is very simple, I would need to strengthen the bass a little bit, I have the B&O headphones.
Thanks
the best audio package by far is A.R.I.S.E.
I use magisk, but it should work with SuperSU too.
You need to have busybox installed to /system/xbin for Viper4Arise to work properly.
When you flash the ARISE package the first time, it will drop a file "arise_customize.conf" into /sdcard
This is what you use to customize which ARISE modules you want to be installed when you flash the ARISE installer the second time.
I have attached the arise_customize.conf file that I use, and know works very well on LG-V20.
For many reasons, though, I recommend looking into switching to magisk over supersu.
After you have busybox installed properly, and after you have Viper4ARISE flashed properly with the customize file used, there is a module in the magisk app repository "universal_deep_buffer_remover".. this is the ONLY thing I have found that correctly removes the deep buffer without breaking the HIFI dac on the V20.
(you can also easily install busybox from the magisk manager app too, although I recommend flashing that module from recovery first. You may need to play with that its triicky. Install from recovery and/or from within the magisk manager app.)
it should go without saying that before you start installing this you will need to remove any other audio mods that you have installed previously, or the best bet being reflash your ROM to get a fresh start.

so sorry, my fault
I did attach the file but I didn't see that it rejected the .prop extension, I edited that first post with it uploaded as a text file, same file is attached here too. Remove the .txt and put it on /sdcard
If you open the file and change the install core to =true, you will only have to flash the arise zip once (instead of letting it place that customize.prop file on SD card the first time around).

Unfortunately, I believe not much of ARISE works on my H990DS, as the first time I flashed using your prop file, I got arkamys audio to continuously force close. Uninstalled it by editing the prop file, reboot. Tried opening Dolby Atmos, force close. I guess I'm left with Viper, which I've had before anyway. I'm on magisk, if that matters, but I saw that the magisk compatibility was set to true.

If you're using SuperSU the only other thing that I could think of would be making sure BusyBox is installed
In the future if something like that is force closing you can either just freeze the application or delete the app folder in system partition using recovery.
If you haven't yet tried flashing your ROM again, letting boot up and sit for a few minutes, then flash busybox and arise again on a fresh ROM installation, that is definitely something to try.
I'm just curious, is there a reason why you prefer SuperSU over magisk?
I use the BusyBox flashable installer made by as from here. He's got lots of other neat things on that thread to!

No, I'm not using SuperSU, I'm on Magisk (14.0). You might have missed when I said that. BusyBox is installed and running fine, and I managed to fix everything by flashing the ARISE zip, but with a modified prop file.

Hello, thanks for replying ... I installed my system again with MagiskSU, but when I installed ARISE, I could not understand how to install it ... I downloaded the MAGNUS OPUS package and tried to flash with the TWP, and there was ERROR 1, I put both your "arise_customize.prop" in my sdcard (/sdcard/arise_customize.prop) and what is in the ARISE forum, but without success ...
let's go to the beginning ... first I install MagiskSU, then BusyBox, then I put the file on sdcard? and then try to install? that's what i did
what am I doing wrong?
Thanks for the cooperation

The order I flash those things is first the ROM (if your ROM has any audio mods included as separate zips in the main rom zip, most modded stock roms do this, remove that. Either delete any viper or dolby zips from the main rom zip, or comment out the libes that install them in the update-script FIRST).
Second I flash busybox, it should say "installng to /system/xbin".
Third I flash Magisk. The current latest version is v14.5 and I can confirm it works n my V20.
After that, I boot into the rom and let it up the stock audio configuration to and confirm that you have sound working initially. After it settles down for a few minutes, I go back into recovery and then flash the arise zip.
The first time you flash ARISE, it checks to see if the customize prop file is present on/ sdcard and if it is it will use those options. If the customize file is not present the only thing it will do is install the core part of ARISE, and it will place that customize.prop file onto /sdcard for you. If that happens you'll get a message saying so, instructing you to edit it to select which modules you want. The customize.prop file I attached is what I use, you don't necessarily have to use those exact settings, you can choose what you want and play around with it and see what works. Trial and error is a way of life doing these mods.
Flashing the same ARISE zip a second time once you edited the prop file to your liking will install what you choose instead of just the core files.
Reboot back into your ROM and open the magisk manager app. You'll notice there is a module there for ARISE compatibility. At this point your equalizer apps should be functioning, but only for local media files. To get the sound to process through the Viper equalizer using streaming music you need to remove the deep audio buffer. Magisk manager allows you to do this very easily by just downloading the universal deep audio remover module from the repository in magisk manager.
While you're at this point, it's a good idea to also download and install the BusyBox module from the magisk manager app too. You can install the magisk BusyBox module on top of what you already flashed in recovery, thats how I do it. If there's any conflicting files the magisk module takes priority. If anything, doing this gives me the peace of mind that BusyBox is for sure installed correctly.
After installing the BusyBox and deep buffer remover modules from the magisk manager app, reboot and that should be it! The only thing you need to do now to take your already amazing DAC to the next level is adjust the equalizer settings to what you like. This is a never ending quest to make whatever youre listening to sound perfect. Frustrating but fun at the same time.
Of course there are a ton of things that could go wrong, each case seems to be different, so there's no way to let you know what to do before a problem shows up.
Try that and let me know how it goes. Good Luck!

Great Tutorial... but... in my phone... (H990DS) with custom root by DirtySanta, the Magisk v14.5 make this device no boot... does it work with version 14.0?
I have a LS997 and also see dirty santa. I run Schwifty's kernel, if that is of any interest to you.
Yes, v14 will be fine to use.
This is for anyone doing audio mods, check out sauron ainur audio, it's a Russian team that figured out a new/better way to mod devices,, (any variant) I've tried bout everything, and it is way better than arise, guitarded hero even chimed in on the forum and credited them as the real deal and not a poser basically, the bass is much tighter and puncher and tunable, must have magisk and u can have other mods along with it e.g.--v4a, James dsp, Arkamys, Dirac, etc. Read the thread!!! And it's easier to install. It will/is change android modding imo.
I was able to do it, but I only managed to release it on my device after upgrading to version 14.5... in version 14 it did not run... I did all the steps as it happened in my tutorial and now it is running the perfect V4A !! Thank you syndre was a great help!
I used to think arise was best, all magisk users should try sauron ainur audio mod, the only one I got to activate is the mk II beta 8. Easy to install if you follow directions and can use viper and other mods with it, they found a new way to do audio mods that's changing the game for audio it just ain't well known yet, read the thread, guitarded hero chimes in and validates them as the real deal and I can say it is awesome, tighter bass, clearer w/less congestion from non working/compatible ports. Message me if you need help or have general questions. Can be tricky to learn, (me anyway since I just started using magisk). Russian team I believe, try it out, good luck.
---------- Post added at 01:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:34 AM ----------
Beta 8 was only one i could get to activate quad dac, wanted to correct that, but the versions without dac activated still sound better than other mods with dac working, it's that good. Imo the bass is way more tunable and precise, and punchier which is important to me.
We are going to use 'Dirac' sound module extracted from OPPO smartphones by ARISE team to increase sound of any device.
We will install Dirac using 'ARISE sound system zip'
REQUIREMENTS-
*ROOT ACCESS
*Custom Recovery (TWRP RECOMMENDED)
INSTRUCTIONS-
1. Download ARISE SOUND SYSTEM ZIP and arise_customize.prop from links given below.
2. Now move "arise_customize.prop" to your internal storage.
* - optional steps - If you just want "loud sound", skip these
*If you want additional sound mods like viper4android Dolby etc, you need to open "arise_customize.prop" and write true in front of whatever MOD you want.
*I advice "mediatek" users "not to use ice mods" as it sometimes stops other modules like Viper4android and Dolby
3. Now boot your device into recovery mode (TWRP RECOMMENDED)
You don't need to wipe "anything"
Just "dirty flash" it
4. Flash the ARISE Zip
If you want to uninstall any module just scroll down and set "uninstall_module" value to "true" and flash the zip again
DOWNLOADS-
ARISE ZIP
arise_customize.prop
