JazzROM For Galaxy Tab A SM-T350/T550 Nougat 7.1.1
A custom ROM based on official firmware Galaxy Tab A SM-T350-Nougat 7.1.1 (XAR- USA version)
[Deodexed, Deknoxed, Rooted, Internal Encryption off, Init.d, Su.d, etc..etc..all the good stuff you will find in pretty much every custom base Nougat ROMs..]
Nobody is allowed to take stuff from my rom without asking me! Thank you.
A fair warning before you jump on and flash this ROM: Installing this Rom will void warranty. Installing TWRP will trip knox to 0x1! Secure folder will be unusable.
Prerequisites / What you need:
1 - No brainier that flashing custom ROMs requires a custom recovery, we use TWRP here - look here @ashyx thread download for your device.
2 - If you are still on official firmware and never rooted, maybe it is time to get into custom recovery! - so get that one going..
3 - Now that you have fully working TWRP installed, it is good time to do full nandroid backup and save that to your microSD card and your computer (in case all goes wrong, you can restore it)
4 - Keep in mind that we developer always assume you know what you are doing since you are here and interested flashing custom ROMs!
5- Remember that do not set read-only mode system in TWRP
6- You should also check and read thru @klaberte 's thread
Installation/Flashing the ROM with TWRP:
1 - First, download JazzROM installation zip file for your device from post#2, and copy it to your tablet's internal sdcard or microSD card.
2 - Reboot in to TWRP, and do Data Format [Wipe]/[FormatData], type "yes", and once it done, go back to main screen again.
3 - In TWRP main screen, go to -->Wipe-->Advanced Wipe, and check only; "System", "Data", "Cache", and "Dalvik/Art cache" - do NOT select any other options!, once it done, go back to main screen.
4- In TWRP main screen, select Install, and Select Storage where you saved JazzROM installation zip file in first step above, and select " JazzROM installation zip file" then swipe to confirm flash and wait until it finishes...
5- Reboot to System (if TWRP prompts you to install TWRP as system app, say NO), If TWRP prompts Dalvik/Art cache option, do that again, when it is rebooting don't be alarmed, you may get couple bootloops with SuperSU-v2.82, this is normal.
6- Now, while your tablet is rebooting, go get coffee or read a short book or watch something, it is going to take several minutes (5 to 15 min.)
7- Once reboots, and you see Welcome screen, do not touch anything for at least 5 to 10 mins, that will give ROM to settle down, and then go thru the setup of tablet as you normally do.
8- If all goes fine, you should be running stock base Nougat 7.1.1 ROM!

Version Updates:
I strongly suggest you to do full wipe to get all modes in this ROM working..so clean installation is good idea here...remember Secure Folder won't work on rooted devices!!
Change Log JazzRom V4.0
1. Fully deodexed (including framework folder - if you check other Tab A ROMs, framework files are not deodexed, this one has deodexed)
2. More Debloated; removed many google apps that can be downloadable thru Play store.
3. More tweaks and optimizations done to make the tablet more smooth and better performance
4. Ported new Bixby from SM-T380 (New Galaxy Tab A2 S) fully working!!!
5. Ported Samsung S7/S8 Edge Screen - please note, some features don't work since this is tablet, and also it needs some re-sizing since our tablet's screen is way way off compare to phones (will try to fix that), but it is still pretty much operational and working OK.
6. New Moded TouchWiz 2017 launcher (you will figure out if you dig it what the surprises are)
7. Advance Power Menu!! - first for 7.1.1 - I have it on Tab S3, so here you go you can have it on Tab A as well - a huge thanks goes to @a.raul (long live SPAIN!) - take a time go head thank him please.
8. Ported Samsung Home Mode (kind of screensaver but looks a bit AOD)
9. Added new updated Samsung Kids Mode - when you open it, it will download rest of the stuff.
10. and there's a working AOD port - please be aware of that, AOD not originally designed for our LCD screen (non-AMOLED), so screen burn may possible - also if you turn it on, make sure you turn off Home Mode to see it in action - it also, because of screen resolution of our tablet, needs some dimension adjustment, i may fix that in next version.
11. Rounded Google Search widget also included
12. ...and some more stuff that I don't remember now, ohh yeah some new wallpapers in framework-res from SM-T380 (New Galaxy Tab A2 S)
Change Log JazzRom V5.0
1. Of course, all V4 features above listed are also in V5!!! -
2. Added SPen port- I know it is not fully functional, please keep in mind that our tablet does NOT have actual SPen, so don't complain about it. It is included in ROM, if you like to use it different way, it is there, if you don't like to use it, don't use it. The way I use is, getting screen write screenshot, app short cut lunch, etc...so for me it is still useful. Maybe some other developers able to enable some of fuctions, if they do, I will try here too.
3. Dimension Adjustments to Edge apps - I made a few adjustments to Edge apps to better fit our screen, it looks better now.
4. Weather on Lock Screen - This is something new in V5 and please consider this as beta release. It may need a few improvement.
5. T550 improvement - Several fixes went to T550 device, now it should be good for all who has T550 device if they follow the instruction and additional suggested made by me (see download link)
6. Updated framework system lib files- new firmware release (still the same version) from Samsung, so I went ahead updated several system framework and lib files.
7. Superuser app- do not be alarmed here, this is needed for Aircommand launch app to launch Spen since it needs Superuser because Superuser is the root management app.

How to Flash Offical Firmware and then flashTWRP
Please remember that there are tons of other threads about this, do NOT expect that these below information bulletproof, works for all condition.
I am just providing this post as additional guide.
Advice: I usually create a temp folder on my PC and put all the files there to make it easier to work on
TWRP Download:
It is import to check @ashyx main thread for additional info or update...
T-350 - twrp_3.1.0-1_sm-t350_18317.tar by @ashyx
T-550 - twrp_3.1.0-1_sm-t550_13317.tar by @ashyx
Firmware Download:
First download Odin here Odin3-v3.12.7.zip
Download official 7.1.1 Firmware of SM-T350 or if your device is SM-T550:
https://samsung-firmware.org/download/GALAXY__Tab__A__/u646/XAR/T350XXU1CQJ1/T350XAR1CQJ1/ - T350XAR1CQJ1
https://samsung-firmware.org/download/GALAXY__Tab__A__/559n/XAR/T550XXU1CQJ6/T550XAR1CQJ6/ - T550XAR1CQJ6
Once you download it, unzip it, you should end up tar file, such as example; T350XXU1CQJ1_T350XAR1CQJ1_HOME.tar
Steps:
Now that you have all the files on your PC/Mac, let's start:
Be master of switching back and fourth of holding keys Home, Down Vol, and Power all at the same time - practice this!!
-----------------------------------------------
Firmware:
1. First, do a rest your tablet - so all the junks will be cleaned up and your tablet will be first time setup use.
2. Now, put your tablet in download mode (make sure it is not connected to your PC with USB); To enter Download mode, press and hold Home, Down Vol, and Power all at the same time, until you see the Warning screen of the download mode. Press Vol up to continue, you should be in download mode now
3. Connect your tablet to your PC and then open Odin3-v3.12.7, confirm that ODIN can see your tablet (ID:COM should say Added!!), click AP button on Odin. In popup, select tar file you downloaded firmware, click OK...it may take several mins to load firmware since it is big, also MD5 check..etc...once done, click Start
4. The screen of the tablet should show a progress bar as your tablet is being restored to its original firmware.
5. After flashing, the tablet should reboot into Android.
6. Reboot may take some time, but after a while, you will be greeted with the Welcome screen where you can select your language, etc....do not setup google account nor Samsung account, just skip, skip...until you see home screen.. Now, plug in your tablet to your PC, and then copy JazzROM zip to your tablet (remember where you place it on your tablet), and then go Settings, About tablet, and click 7 times on build number to enable Developer Option, go there and check USB debugging option active..
Up to this point, you should be now on official 7.1.1 firmware...
-----------------------------------------------
TWRP:
7. Now Power off the tablet using the power button...
8. Put your tablet in download mode again (step 2 above)
9. Open Odin again, and select AP button on Odin. In popup, select your device's twrp-XXXX.XXXX.tar, click OK, and then in Odin go do Option (next to Log tab) and uncheck Auto Reboot!! - this is critical!!
10. Now, click Start, it should flash it OK and should say success.
11. It is important, we did select uncheck Auto Reboot, means your tablet still in download mode.
12. Still download mode, unplug your tablet from PC, and quickly Hold [Volume Down] + [Home] + [Power] to get out of Download mode, and screen goes black blank a sec, immediately swap to [Volume Up] (while still holding [Home] + [Power]) -- if you can't reboot into TWRP, you need to re-flash it again until successfully reboot into TWRP.
13. In a few secs, you will see bit waranty......: recovery top on left screen, and then you can let go of all the buttons.
14. You should now see TWRP, Swipe to Allow Modifications.
15. Now, let's do Backup, select that and select Storage, and select MicroSD card (or internal if you don't have microSD card), from backup, select partion to backup, select all of them, and do swipe to backup.
16. Now, you did full nandroid backup (in case you want to restore), click back button until you are on main screen, and click Wipe option, and do Format Data, type yes on the screen..it will format your data. Now, click Advance Wipe, and select only Dalvik /Art Cache, System, Data and Cache, and swipe to wipe...it may take a few sec, once it finish, click back, back..until you are main screen
17. On main screen, click Install, locate JazzROM zip file (where you put in step 6 above), and flash it...when it finishes, select wipe Dalvik /Art Cache, let it finish that too, and then select Reboot.
18. TWRP will prompt if it will install TWRP as system app, say do not install.
19. Your tablet should start rebooting...
20. Reboot may take anywhere 10 mins to 20 mins, be patient here...once it reboots, it should says initializing android black screen..let it finish all up until you see welcome screen...wait for a few mins on welcome screen, and then continue your setup as you normally do.
21. If all goose fine, you should be running JazzROM Nougat 7.1.1
-----------------------------------------------
I may update this post based on feedback from you guys....
This is awesome that you are working on this tablet sir. I have followed your work since my Galaxy Note 8.0 days and love your roms. Since you are going to be building for this tablet, I am going to drop out and let the real devs take it. Thank you once again for working with the SM-T350.
Can't wait to try it. I will be recommending everyone that uses my rom to use this.

bunch thanks for nice words... but please dont have high expectations these Galaxy Tab A (late 2015 models) does not very capable devices, so not much can be done, but try to add some goodies ported over from some other Samsung devices and see if how it plays...
Anything that you could add to this device is a plus Sir. Thank you.

Does this have overclocking/power saving features of other custom roms?
Wifi is not working for me. When I try to turn wifi on, it slides to the off position. I've tried power cycling the tablet and that doesn't fix it. Any ideas?

What firmware were you on before you flashed this rom? In my experience, if Wi-Fi doesn't work after flashing a rom to this device, that means you didn't have the correct firmware installed first. This is the only Samsung tablet that I own, that you have to flash the same firmware via Odin before flashing the custom rom.
I may be wrong on this and it may only be my device that does this but I thought I would mention it.

WiFi works just fine. This sometimes happens if you flash this ROM top of older firmware (lollipop..etc). So what I recommend is flash the original firmware of SM-T350 7.1.1 via Odin, and flash TWRP (getting this two piece is critical if you want bug free 7.1.1). Make sure you can reboot into TWRP....if you do, follow the instruction above and try again.

no it does not. I would not go with overclocking with Galaxy Tab A, remember this is not Samsung S7 or S8 or Note 8, overclocking this tablet may cause damage your tablet, possibly brick. and I am not Kernel developer.
Oh, maybe a noob question, but does my tablet need to be on Nougat to flash this?

No it is not noob question...it is important that you are Nougat firmware and TWRP - reason for that, flashing Nougat firmware ensures you have correct bootloader all that, so that when you flash custom ROM, you should not have any abnormal issues.
hope above make sense..
Ah! Thanks guys I'm a dummy.
another Q: I don't supposed I can flash the T350 stock Nougat rom onto T550? (at least, I tried with Odin, and it failed at Auth)

I don't think you can flash the stock t350 firmware via odin into the t550.
But I think you can flash this rom via twrp into the t550. I believe that's what I understood.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

OK, about T550, there's no official Nougat 7.1.1 firmware yet (but I believe it should be very soon).
second, you canNOT flash T350 offical firmware on to T550 device. It won't work.
third, while this ROM is based on T350, it should still work on T550, however, you have to be official 7.1.1 firmware on T550 device in order to flash this ROM.
however, you can try flashing this ROM top of your current T550 (make sure it is rooted and has TWRP installed), and see it works - it should.
For those that need it, here is the stock firmware for getting on 7.1.1 stock. Like the OP directed, you need to be on the latest firmware for this rom to work and this firmware can only be flashed via Odin. I used v3.10.7 I think lol.. I will check for sure and edit this post later but you can do a Google Search "what version of Odin to use" and you will find the information you need.
OP, I will delete this post if you don't want it here, just say the word.
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=745849072291683960
Again, this is just the stock Samsung update that is flashable via Odin. This will give you the correct base to flash this rom on. I don't remember if you have to extract this zip or not (it's been a week since I did it) but if Odin doesn't see this zip, then you need to extract it and then flash the contents in Odin...lol..
This is a link to all versions of Odin with descriptions of what version flashes what. I checked, and I used v3.10.7 to flash this firmware and it flashed fine for me.

Multiwindow allows you to split the screen in 2 vertically (while in landscape) or horizontally, you can switch an app back and forth between multiwindow mode and regular mode while it's running.
MultiWindow
NavBar:
- To switch between full screen and split View you can use the
NavBar Button
(It will lay apps alternatively in one SplitView spot then the other.)
- To change focus simply Tap on the app or use the
NavBar Button
That button can also be used in non multiwindow mode to switch quickly between the 2 most recent apps.
Global Actions
Actions to switch the app between fullscreen / splitview, switch between the 2 most recent apps and to force the splitview slot have been added
so you can bind them to a key / key combination with the Global KeyOverride or long press on navbar button too.
Note: Most apps works ok in splitview mode, but some of them might not refresh correctly sometime.
Same when rotating the screen while in splitview mode.
To force a refresh simply tap the app or if you have 2 apps in split, just click twice on the switch to last app button:
to force it to relayout

So Far So Good...
Installation was easy and setup was smooth. Since installation during app installs I've encountered some FCs and soft reboots (still trying to install my apps). But it's really smooth, the best I think the tablet has ever seen! Can't wait for apps to install and get to actually using it. Will report back after.

While restoring all apps together with titanium backup, freezes or some reboots can happen. Except that, it's quite stable in everyday use. As long as timduru continue to develop this rom, i will optimize it for TF201

oh, no, I don't use TB, that can screw up ****; I just initiate via the Playstore only. I go and DL them all 1-by-1 or if google asks to start DLing all my old apps I say yes. So far after all the apps installed and I logged into them and started to use them, I've only had 2 soft reboots and 2 FC's. So far so good. We'll see how it runs tomorrow during DnD. Thanks again, awesome ROM!
GAPPS are changed to minimal edition 14.04.15
There are more free space in system partition now
Just installed it today.
First, damn format data indeed takes a long time
But it's working perfectly now. And i'm absolutely flabbergasted at how good it works. I came from Crombi-KK and after a couple days of use it became super slow. Now with Katkiss is feels really snappy.
Installed Need for Speed No Limits, and I didn't expect to even run.
But I could actually just do a full race without any lag.
So yeah, so far so good.

I am also using KatKiss, but did not installed it using the repack file. Used separate files (rom+kernel lite+gapps).
I am also in f2fs and when I was installed gmail, etc, I had several soft reboots (maybe 10 or so). But after everything is installed it settled and is working ok.
The only issue so far is the camera not working.
Are you guys having this issue?

This ROM works absolutely without any problem as PRIMARY ROM in MultiROM.
If You can Russian, see also here: http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=308957&view=findpost&p=37626732
This ROM is excellent on my asus TF201 was very fast. in the forum say that it is possible to do overclocking to 1700MHz but the settings only gives to choose up to 1300MHz but in AnTuTu says that the CPU is 1500MHz? How can I change?
This ROM is wonderful. Between the ROM and formatting my data to F2FS, my TF201 has new life!
However, encryption doesn't seem to work. It just reboots to normal instead of encrypting...
Is this a known issue? Is it because I'm using F2FS?

You might have different version of tegra 3 on your tablet. There is another 5.1 Lite kernel for you. I am going to add it here
@JuraP
Strange..... your lite version let's me "oveclock" only up to 1300 MHz.... So no OC at all..... Tried to re-flash the kernel package just now with the same result. The top frequency in Performance settings is 1300 the same in Trickster mod. With performance version the option is up to 1800 MHz
@hardslog
So it would appear that there is more than one tegra3 model for the TF201. Nice job Asus:
JuraP - Tegra3: CPU Speedo ID 1, Soc Speedo ID 2
lj50036 - Tegra3: CPU Speedo ID 6, Soc Speedo ID 2
Should be easy enough to fix though
@JuraP
Works like a charm, mighty wizard !!! Booted without hassle, OC settings working good... No twitch with 1600 MHz, interactive governor and vr I/O scheduler....
That is the kernel who can not overclock with following instructions on first page.
Its worth a try

TF201 as TF301
Hi. Can i flash the rom even when my tablet "thinks" it«s a tf301? I once installed a *firmware* (or just software i dont know, im not much of a pro on android) that modifyed the system to "think" it's a tf301....
Can i flash the rom following the instructions or is there a way to put it back tf201?
Thanks in advance,
Tiago

If you meet the criterias
*Unlocked device
*Bootloader version
*TWRP
You can flash it.
In this rom system shows that its TF300 but its just a build.prop information
It does not make any problem :good:
Can someone please briefly outline the steps I need to take to get from HairyBean 2.31 with F2FS to "JB 4.2.1 BOOTLOADER VERSION 10.6.1.27.1 AND TWRP 2.8.0.0+" ?
Question #1:
Right now, my TF201 shows "ww_epad-10.6.1.27.1-20130711" when I boot it to recovery. However, according to the HairyBean disclaimer, it states that:
"DO NOT INSTALL ANY OTHER PRIME RECOVERY WHILE USING THE NEW HAIRYBEAN 2.31 (4.2.1) BOOTLOADER, THEY ARE NOT COMPATIBLE AT THE MOMENT, THE ONE BUILT IN IS MODDED. USE THE DOWNGRADE ZIP TO TAKE YOU BACK TO 4.1.1 BOOTLOADER AND RECOVERY IF YOU NEED IT."
So, does this means I have to downgrade or it's safe to go straight to TWRP 2.8.0.0+?
Question #2:
I'm on TWRP 2.7.0.0-Geass. How would I go to TWRP 2.8 because from TWRP website it says that it's not supported anymore.
I would really appreciate it if someone who had gone from HairyBean 2.31 to this ROM could quickly outline the steps.
Thank you!

1) You do not have to downgrade. Your bootloader version is what we are looking for :good:
2) It's safe to go straight to TWRP 2.8.0.0+ Because of we have TF300T's bootloader on our prime, we can flash TWRP which is made for TF300
I use TWRP 2.8.3.0 version on my prime and it works without any issues.
TWRP 2.8.3.0 http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/tf300t/openrecovery-twrp-2.8.3.0-tf300t.blob
Download the file above. Save it to the root of your /sdcard directly (internal memory only) and rename it to twrp.blob
Launch terminal emulator or connect to your computer and open an adb shell, then type the following:
su
dd if=/sdcard/twrp.blob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4
Then reboot to complete installation.
Thank you TacoNikky for your help. I really appreciate it! I actually figured it out right before your reply. I found a slightly easier way to do it. Hope this is of some help to those coming from HairyBean with F2FS.
From my version of HairyBean, bootloader, and TWRP above, I did the below.
BACKGROUND INFO:
- As TacoNikky pointed out, the bootloader "ww_epad-10.6.1.27.1-20130711" from HairyBean is ready to go.
- Now, I can go straight to TWRP 2.8+. I flashed TWRP 2.8.5.1 zip that's packed for the TF201. Found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tra...overy-kang-twrp-tf201t-2-8-x-xarea51-t3047675
INSTRUCTION:
1. Download all the zip files from the OP and TWRP 2.8.5.1 zip from the link above to your MicroSD card.
2. Boot into TWRP recovery and flash TWRP 2.8.5.1 zip. Then fully reboot to Android.
3. Boot into TWRP recovery again and it should show version 2.8.5.1.
4. Go to Advanced Wipe and wipe what is recommended in the OP and those are dalvik cache, system, cache, internal storage. Since I was already on F2FS, I did not wipe Data. Follow the second post of this thread if you want to go to F2FS from EXT4.
5. Now, flash all the stuff as described in the OP. Reboot and that's it!
Thanks again TacoNikky for putting this together.
Now, I hope this ROM is as usable as HairyBean. Also hoping for ChromeCast's "Cast Screen" to work.
I hate Asus for the pain that the TF201 had caused!
Update: You should also wipe Data. I missed reading it from the OP. Also, I got "wiping" and "formatting" kind of mixed up in my mind. In Step 4, I meant to say that I didn't have to "format" Data because I was already on F2FS.

Just to inform you
Not wiping /data can cause a bootloop at first boot
Even if you pass, you may have google play store issues (Google is really strict with that on 5.1)

Haha. Thanks. I was going to ask you whether I should wipe Data. Looks like it's back to re-flashing the ROM.
For some reasons, I didn't see in the OP that one should also wipe Data. Oopsy.
I asked a few questions in the official thread and did not resolve my issue. From replies to others in the thread I should probably try asking in the 'Discussion' thread(?) but I thought I would ask other HAM2 users here first.
Short version:
On my Ascend Mate 2 and I cannot boot after using romracer's version of xposed for sdk22 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/super-alpha-posted-permission-xposed-t3072979). I flash the latest version, wipe the cache, and press "reboot". It shows the boot logo, then the boot animation, then stays on the slightly animated Huawei logo indefinitely. I left it for an hour once just to see if it would change/finish.
Longer version:
(Started by making everything factory reset/stock.)
1. Got the B321 update
2. Got TWRP 2.8.7
3. Rooted with the latest SuperSU
4. Installed Viper4Android FX
5. Restored all my apps and settings with the stock backup tool
6. Flashed xposed-v71-sdk22-arm-by-romracer-20150816.zip
7. Would no longer boot. (First logo screen stays on for much longer than normal, then the Huawei animation plays, but without sound, and finally the animated Huawei logo just sits there.)
Nothing else was changed or added or modded before trying to flask xposed.
• The APK is not yet installed (not sure if that matters)
• I’ve tried the current version, as well as 70, 69, 68, and 67 for good measure
• I attempted to flash the 64 and 86 versions just in case
• I even tried a version for sdk22 posted by C3C076. This version did not even get to the animation screen and could not be removed with romracer's uninstaller (just thought I would try)
• I’ve tried waiting 10, 20 and even 60+ minutes for the boot to complete… it just sits there
• I’ve checked and rechecked and redownloaded the zip from the official (“unofficial”) first page
• I wipe the dalvik cache each and every time I flash
• After a few minutes, if connected to my computer, the initial Huawei folder window will appear (the one with Docs, drivers, and “autorun”), and my phone will show up in adb devices list in command prompt. I can even use adb commands at this point. I really believe this means something.
• To get back into my phone, each time, I have to restore the system backup or flash the uninstaller zip.
I really want a number of xposed modules! My phone works 'fine' without them, but who roots their phone for merely 'fine'. Any suggestions are appreciated.
Haven't heard of xposed working on stock lollipop EMUI . It does work on CM tho .

He is correct. You have to be on CM. EMUI will NOT allow closed to work. Flash the uninstaller zip.

Thanks. I was worried that might be the case, a few days into my efforts, when I saw the "Xposed for CyanogenMod" guide posted a few days ago.
If that is the case, I suppose I have two additional questions:
1. Will installing CM mean another wipe and restore? (I'm certain I know the answer, which is of course "yes", but I thought I would ask all the same.)
I only ask because I hate having to re-do all my settings (3 email accounts in the google app, general device settings, etc), which neither the stock restore app or non-pro Titanium backup ever seems to put back.
Read through the "preview-cyanogenmod-mate-2 thread". Guess I'd have to bite the bullet.
2. Is CM worth it on its own? (And by worth it, I mean worth it for the HAM2... I can see CM's features with a quick search.)
I know I'll like being able to finally get Xposed, but I wonder if this will be an issue for getting updates like the recent B322. Or perhaps CM fixes that concern? I don't know much about it. My experience is limited to learning to root my phone for slightly more functionality on a few root apps.
Read through the "preview-cyanogenmod-mate-2 thread". Still not sure after reading about random restarts and battery issues (possibly from wake locks and/or google apps?).
Guess I'll just have to decide whether to try it after reading more comments in other threads about it.
Thanks for the help both of you!

Thanks! As excited as I am to have Xposed, I really like my EMUI (and don't want to pay for the play store one you suggested to others), I like B321s stability, and I like not changing settings often. So for now I'll wait and deal with not having trivialities like AdAway or playing Youtube in the background.
@neocortex08
You only need root on your phone to be able to install adaway. You don't need xposed.
For background playback of YouTube videos you may want to check this out
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2213945
They have a install method for those who are rooted and have xposed and those who don't .

And it just keeps getting better
I guess the delay (I've been out of the house all day) worked out for the best in the end I wonder if anyone ever use Knox. For me, it's just a big PIA. Once it's all up and running well, I'll be glad to spread the great news to the Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2 Google+ community I'm also part of. Some there just updated to official firmware, but they have no clue what they're missing. Especially since this tablet comes with tons of unneeded business apps that's just begging to be killed off.

Some there just updated to official firmware, but they have no clue what they're missing. Especially since this tablet comes with tons of unneeded business apps that's just begging to be killed off.

Knox is an important security feature, however once device rooted, knox gets crazy, starts popping up almost everywhere, therefore it needs to be removed (fully removal or partial removal depends on device configuration).
there are bunch of unneeded samsung apps, and knox apps, etc...once debloated all these, you would see good performance improvement of course.

thanks again for letting me know how to remove knox.:good:
I installed the official firmware using the version of Odin provided and it failed to boot I then installed TWRP, which did work and installed the ROM, which also failed to boot I think this old Odin does not work.
I then installed the official firmware using Odin3_v3.10.7 provided by sammobile.com (it’s now AP instead of PDA) along with the firmware and it booted just fine almost immediately Let it boot up, finished the startup stuff skipping everything, powered down, then back to Download Mode and flashed TWRP using the new Odin3_v3.10.7 and otherwise followed the description and it is all working fine just now :victory: Advance Wipe did give an error about something with E: but a second wipe gave no error. I generally always wipe 2-3 times anyway.
It does say something in red text top left corner on boot about kernel not supporting seandroid, or something like that, but I assume it is due to some necessary changes that were made for the ROM to work.
I do wonder why the provided Odin is an outdated version I strongly recommend using the new one like I did.
It is still early, but everything seems to be working perfectly so far.
Quick app recommendation: The app “GMD Gesture Control * root” is amazingly useful and just one more huge benefit of being rooted. Not being forced to use the buttons is great. It is very awkward when they are halfway covered by a stand or in an odd place depending on how you hold the tablet and they are tiny and using customized swipes and taps is the bomb
There's way more development for the Note version, so you making this is all the more appreciated and I am now off to recommended it to anyone willing to listen

I think it may have been your drivers for samsung, bc I used the odin I provided to flash both uk and us .tar files with no issues or non boots
as for the non seandroid supported that is to deal with the permissive kernel that initially gained root access
Hmm, I didn't install any new drivers between the first and second attempt. If somehow it did that in the background I didn't notice or maybe it's a Win 10 issue. I used to have Kies installed but since my clean upgrade to Windows 10 I haven't bothered to install it. I just had the drivers that auto-install when you plug it in.
Whatever it was, I'm just really happy it works now. I've now spread the great news to the 90 member 12.2 Pro Tab Google+ community and the general Pro Tab one with 698 members so more can enjoy your little gem.

win 10 prob im running win 7
I now feel like a complete noob lol. I can't get TWRP to flash for some reason. I'm on windows 10 using the newest version of odin. I went to teamwin to download the img.tar. I've tried different ways to do this. I download then go to pda click on my recent files and click on the winrar zip and start. It fails. If I extract the zip to a folder it comes up as a recovery.img which can't be detected in odin. I add the .tar and it pops up fine but then fails or freezes for awhile and fails. I've installed trwp and roms too many times and never had this issue. What am I doing wrong? Help!!! Lol

Good to hear it's working for ya. It's not a Win 10 issue, at least if using Odin3_v3.10.7 and running it as administrator (as one always should imo). There's no PDA option. Then you were using old Odin. In the newer editions it's called AP unless you just used the old terminology.
Also noob is not a newb. Read this, it's very funny and accurate: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Noob
Bonus info:
I tried the unofficial Xposed made specifically for Samsung. It didn't work. Only needed to flash the Uninstaller zip, clean caches and reboot (but I had a nandroid ready just in case). Damn Samsung and their fiddling with ART. I miss Xposed, but you can't have it all. Loving the ROM. I had these super annoying reboots always a bit more than an hour apart at times, same apps as now. Could be fixed firmware, no Xposed or a combo. Either way it's great to be rid off.

download the one from the link on the bottom of my first post it works. remember to install the alpha 4 xposed app(make sure no modules are selected) flash wanam xposed framework arm version(not regular xposed framework) in recovery wait 5-8 min to boot and done
also do a search to see if the modules you are using are lollipop compatible because not all of them are
and if the modules are not lollipop compatible and you have them activated upon reboot you will bootloop
Yep, Xposed works now and now on to finding compatible modules. The xposed you listed was the one I used but I probably had some restored stuff from Titanium and/or didn't install the apk first. Don't remember. Note to self: Don't flash anything when you've only slept a couple of hours the night before.
I ran the new Aroma installer. I did end up with all that business bloatware despite deselecting it in Aroma, but that could just be from letting the restore thing run with pretty much everything during setup (mistake), I'm not sure. My bad. I've just uninstalled it all since using Titanium so it's all good now.
Damn, the first post looks totally pro now. You're learning fast my friend

LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of android, which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock android for your device.
All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit our Wiki.
Important Info
Current lineage 14.1 bullhead nightlies are based on the N2G48C (August 2017) monthly update from google. So you should be using the vendor, radio and bootloader img from that update. They can be extracted from the factory image on google's site here. Or you can use the ones linked below that I already extracted:
Note: The radio and bootloader img is the same as what was in the previous monthly google update, so if you already have it you don't need to flash it.
* vendor-n2g48c.img
* radio-bullhead-m8994f-2.6.37.2.21.img
* bootloader-bullhead-bhz11m.img
The vendor img is flashable with twrp or fastboot. For the radio and bootloader img, use fastboot.
More information and installation instructions can be found on the LineageOS wiki here.
Download Links
LineageOS: https://download.lineageos.org/bullhead
Google apps: Beans GApps (recommend mini)
SU addon zip: Addon Install zip / Addon Removal zip NOTE: LineageOS does not come with root, so this is now provided for those that want it. The install zip is a one time flash, like gapps. Meaning, it persists when updating to a new LineageOS nightly. REF: https://download.lineageos.org/extras

Issues with CM 14.1
Hello, today I tried to flash CM 14.1 but I had some issues like warning that my phone is corrupted or something and I have to contact manufacturer. I wasn't able to setup the device. I'm wondering if this can be flashed over purenexus 7.0 ROM with NBD90Z vendor image...or should I flash some newer vendor image ? Thanks for help community

Do not enable wifi or cellular data during setup, and it will not attempt the device setup part that you can't get past.
Otherwise pretty stable.
I've flashed it, it had some problems booting, but now its working. Here's my guideline:
1-If you do not want to get the VENDOR message at first boot, start flashing last NRD91N factory image
2-Flash TWRP from fastboot, and do a "Fastboot erase cache" and "Fastboot erase userdata"
3-Reboot into TWRP, and do a DATA Format
4-Reboot into TWRP and do a Full Wipe
5-Flash CM14.1 and OpenGapps (i used nano)
6-Reboot. Give it about 5 min, mine got stuck at CM logo. If after 5 min it does not boot, keep power button pressed for a few seconds till it reboots. It should boot properly now.
7-If after booting, entering SIM Pin code DO NOT ENABLE WIFI OR DATA. It will cause a loop on the wizard. Let both be disabled till the end of the config.
8-Reboot and you should have CM14.1 official working.
Here's proof:
Sorry for my english. :angel:
UPDATE:
Ok, i've been doing some more testing with both official 7.0 and dev preview 7.1 and here are my results:
1-If you want, you can use 7.1 dev preview as base, using the same tutorial above. The only difference will be that after every reboot, right before PIN Code, it will tell you the VENDOR.img message. Nothing to worry about.
2-I don't know if it is a placebo effect or not, but I get better performance on the CM14.1 if I use 7.1 as base. I think it is more fluent.
3-Using 7.1 as base definetively changes something, there's a little "glitch" or graphical difference with 7.0. Here's proof:
As you can see, Menu item switch looks different from 7.0.
4-In my experience, I've decided to disable the stock Web Browser and install any other, because the one that comes with the build gives FCs some times, and I think it has some memory leak or something, that makes the OS lag. After disabling it, everything works fine.
Hope this helps to anyone.
Cheers

Thanks for you're contribution to N5x!
I've never used but want to try this out since i'm hearing a lot about it....what I want and need to know is what features comes with this ROM? something tells me i'm really going to like it.
Gallery app freezes and then the phone resets...and ElementalX has dark camera bug
Im unable to complete the initial settings.
After connecting to wifi or data, im prompted to copy data from another device with some error messages and i cant proceed, im always taken back to previous settings screens.
When i try to turn off the wifi and data, the phone tell me that "unable to connect" and im taken back to "choose how to connect" screen. So... any suggestions? I even tried "factory reset" but with no luck.
Im using the newest bootloader from 7.1.1 DP, is this a possible source of the issues? Thanks!

yep, just heard about that couple hours ago.
already submitted fix, just testing it now.
http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/q/topic:sdcardfs-fix
EDIT: Thanks to @DeHuMaNiZeD for testing my changes. The fix is now merged and will be in the next nightly.
My impressions so far are exactly as mentioned above by others with the added addition that battery icons dont work when you switch landscape and circle. Hidden and text work. Other than that the rom is pretty stable.

Couldn´t sign in
You don´t have a network connection.
After pressing next i can either turn on mobile data or connect to wifi.
So.. sorry your advice really didnt helped at all. :crying:
PS: even got "CM stopped working". I even downloaded NRD91N factory image, used its bootloader, radio and vendor. With no luck. Im DEcrypted btw. How the hell you managed to make it work?
PPS: Should i use CM Recovery instead of TWRP? "Sigh" this is frustrating..

I came from tupac4u's debloated Nought rom, but flashed an unofficial CM14.1 build before this official one. During that process I was prompted to encrypt. I used TWRP 3.0.2-2 throughout. I get warnings during boot, but I clear them with no ill effects.
Not sure what else to tell you. As far as the setup goes, there's instructions a few posts up on how to delete the wizard all together. I didn't need to do this however. Initially I was stuck on the copy from device screen (there's no forward or submit button), but was able to go back, long press and forget the previously saved wifi, uncheck mobile data, and proceed forward skipping the device sync part. When I first opened play store, I was asked for my google credentials and two-factor code.

7-If after booting, entering SIM Pin code and WIFI, it gets stuck at "looking for another terminal" or similar, reboot to TWRP and go: MOUNT-->TICK SYSTEM. Then got to ADVANCED-->FILE MANAGER-->SYSTEM/PRIV-APP/CYANOGENSETUPWIZARD and press option button-->DELETE.
This helped A LOT. I got rid of bugged (i know, first nightly) CM settings wizard and got into AOSP settings wizard which was flawless. Im using the CM 14.1 now! Finally!
Thanks!

What I did to fix this is I did I clean install with no gapps so that you don't have to do Google setup at first boot. booted fine, then I rebooted into twrp and flashed gapps. When I booted back up I just went to settings and added my Google account. I am using mini open gapps
After the registering problems, does the ROM is stable for daily use? I really want to try it, but it is my main phone...

someone posted how to get around the setup solution just a couple of post upwards, I was having that problem to, but followed his instructions and cm14 works fine now
@razorloves. the cm bug report keeps force closing.
Anyone else having problems with clock app? I can't open it at all, tried installing through aroma gapps and through app store, aside from that everything seems stable. Even my fingerprint unlock works again which makes me really happy, it stopped working during marshmallow and even after 7.0 it wouldn't work but somehow it's back and fully functional.
Not booting with F2FS data and cache partitions. Booting fine with jolla kernel. As I see stock kernel that included in ROM also supports F2FS, but I don't know why it's not booting.
This is a port of OMNIRom 7.1.1 for the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 7.0 (2016) LTE SM-T285. OMNIRom aims to be a community based project and is a lot "lighter" than CyanogenMod/LineageOS.
5.1.1 is the best that you can get from samsung right now and it is not known if they plan to do any upgrades. I have absolutely no idea why samsung chose to stay with the outdated 5.1.1 mid 2016 when we already got 7.1 coming out. This custom rom is probably the best you can get if you want an upgrade from Lollipop. Performance on the latest build is also better, you be the judge.
Though this is stable enough that I use it currently as my daily driver, make sure you read the pending issues below and decide if this is acceptable to you before you flash this rom. This rom probably won't get much use out of some people until bluetooth is fixed.
Based off on OMNIRom 7.1.1 N4F260 sources which is based on Marshmallow.
For more information on OMNIRom and its features see their site here.

Omnirom Notes:
=============
- omnirom doesn't have ffmpeg libraries unlike the CM based roms, but no worries since I ported over CMs libraries here.
Works:
- Wifi/LTE/SMS (Some users report data intermittently not connecting, though toggling airplane mode on/off can fix it)
- Audio
- Graphics
- Bluetooth
- Wifi Hotspot
- MTP
Does not work:
- Calls (needs testing)
- Camera
- GPS (no fix)
- probably more (need testers)
Download
========
Remember flashing an unofficial ROM on your samsung device will probably void your warranty. Don't expect samsung to support you if you have any issues.
As always flash this at your own risk. Make sure you have a copy of the stock ROM so that you have something to fall back to, which is highly the case when using an experimental rom.
See DevDB download section for older releases. Or click below for the latest release:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=23245
Note that this rom is pure stock and does not come with the Play Store or any Gapps, I suggest you download a micro gapps package separately and install it via recovery.
There have been reports that recent versions of open gapps don't work properly, it is advised to use older versions instead (e.g. open_gapps-arm-6.0-nano-20161109.zip)
Installation Instructions
==================
Perform a backup of all of your important files. This ROM is experimental and I will not be responsible for your loss of data.
Download the zip file and extract the tar.
Use Odin/Heimdall to flash the tar file to your device. If you are coming from stock oranother rom make sure you wipe first using TWRP. Coming from a previous version of OMNIRom for SM-T285 may not require a wipe, however please perform a wipe if you encounter problems.
Root and customization
===================
This ROM is a purely based on source and is not rooted out of the box. However you can easily root it by using TWRP to install the latest version of SuperSU.
If you want to customize this ROM and repackage it you may use this guide as a reference.

Im Not A Developper But I'm The Closest Thing There Is To It. Il Be Running Some Tests To See If It Might Be Compatable With The Sm-t280 Model. Any Boot.Img I Should Install First?
thanks Jedid-did you have a link here for the ROM as I cannot see it (says status is testing so perhaps a placeholder?) as always great work!

It will be a long shot, there are hardware differences, but nothing stopping you from trying it. Do note that the T280 has a padded boot.img see here, which means you need to get the boot.img from this rom and add an additional header in front of it before you flash it with heimdall or odin.

thanks Jedid
will look in a couple of days when I the Tab back (gave it to a friend)
EDIT
tried the ROM today...calling is a problem (for me) tried multiple times of reboot and allowed rom to settle before making calls (4g and data in out activity was showing-could go to internet)
The call does not connect and sits in dialing mode forever...if you try to hang up it then sits in hanging up mode and will not terminate
(shows a call in progress as if it is still on)...sms works
With all credit to you and all due respect...I stopped there-
think your very FIRST Lineage 14.1 was the best in all the Nougat ROMs
(the next one had issues with the drives seen but not accessible even though the MTP thing was purported to have been solved in that one)-i.e no real files just drives with overall sizes shown and then the lockscreen issue made it unusable (the PIN and notification method was risky as swiping the notification accidentally would lead to an inaccessible phone or maybe demand a reboot)
Works for me
I don't use the Sim functionality at all, so can't comment on that. I had to try a few variations of GApps to get a working Google Play service, and finally managed with the Dynamic GApps 20170215 Minimal build. Once I got that going, everything worked well. I'm using this as my daily ROM on the tablet now, so will report any further issues I have. Just wanted to say a big thank you! This ROM is very fast and smooth.

"omni-6.0-20161209-UNOFFICIAL-SMT285-BETA-3.tar"
did not flash, rejected by Odin.
The new one you have linked works
"omni-7.0-20170219-UNOFFICIAL-SMT285.tar"
Quick scan results:
Mem use 462mb of 1.4gb
Space use 2.71 of 7.28gb
Apps installed 17
Very Similar to Lineage "LINEAGE-OMS-14.1-20171209-UNOFFICIAL-SMT285.tar".
In fact almost exact other than a couple of megabytes and an app.
This is BEFORE SU And APP Remover has gone in to shred some files
Stock rom: Terrible
Mem use 5 TB of 1.4gb
Space use Smoke coming out of 7.28gb
Apps installed Still counting I was sure it would finish last week.
