Great job. Installed without any problem. Keep well.
Good
Like it. Runs smooth, everything that is said to work, works. But some bugs, aside that from gr8Nole's CM12. For example, I can't change keyboard, settings just crash when I'm trying to.
UPD: fixed in 21.01 version
net::ERR_UNKNOWN_URL_SCHEME
I am still playing around with this rom when I have time. So far to my surprise, everything is working nice as it should. The only problem I have come across so far though is when I click certain links, they dont seem to parse/click correctly. Several times when click a URL I get the error: net::ERR_UNKNOWN_URL_SCHEME An easy way to recreate it is to go to this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053 (SuperSU on XDA) and scroll down and click on the Download: SuperSU on Google Play (free) link while using the rom. I would post it here, but I am typing from a PC right now and have to be quick. The link loads just fine on the PC too. I have done this in the past with 4.4.4 roms and last I recall it was working properly. When searching Google for the error, everything relates to code, which is out of my knowledge. A couple forums with people having issues were all unresolved or were told to restart, but it makes no difference. Now it doesn't do this all the time, but it has happened several times which makes it a small annoyance mostly, and assuming it should not do this at all. Hopefully I am not the only one having this issue and it can be fixed. Let me know if there is any other info I can provide.
Hmmm, I cant recreate the issue here...all links open fine...ibopen everything with chrome....what are you using? I find that some links wont open properly with the stock browser...
Is there no t315 support? I can't find any lollipop ROM for my tab 3 t315
No, sorry...we need the device to build for it...as of now we only have a sm t310 ...
I don't mind testing ROMs if you want to develop some I want lollipop for my device lol
Its not a matter of what you want, or what you are willing to do....I am not the dev....or a dev period...I'm going by what they are telling me to tell you.....no device = no build....blind builds are a pain and headache for devs....sorry
Hey Aries...
Thanks for getting back. I felt like a noob when I realized I was using the stock browser. I just been use to PA gapps in the 4.4.4 builds totally replacing the stock browser with Chrome. Since we are using Banks with Validus, is there some way I can manually inject or replace the stock browser with chrome? If it is a pain in the ass or not possible, is there a way to remove the stock browser once Chrome is installed? The same situation applies with the Nova launcher. I slightly prefer the Apex launcher and have the pro version on Google play. In the 4.4.4 roms, I was able to use Root uninstaller to remove leftover stuff I will never use in 4.4.4 roms, but it fails to remove it in LP. It is possible the Root uninstaller app isnt updated for LP, and may test some alternatives. It is just a minor issue figure I would ask to see what your thoughts were on it. If I could somehow replace nova and the stock with Apex and Chrome so when I flash it, it would be great as it is already there without the extra apps I will not use.
Aside from that I finally had some time to flash the latest build 1/31? and it is nice. I ended up doing a clean install since I was not vested much into the previous build anyway. When going through the primary setup, typing the Google account name, etc. It closed unexpectedly and told me it did, but it was at the end. Not sure if it was just a hiccup, but it saved my info from what I can tell and still works great. The dark theme is a perfect fit too. I look forward for future updates and will continue to use them.

I keep stock browser and chrome on both my devices but if you want to remove it you can...validus has system app remover built in...go to developer settings and its right at the top....remove whatever system stuff you don't use or want there browser is in there..then reboot...simple....or you can use apps like titanium backup or rom toolbox pro to do the same thing....I prefer rom toolbox as it does tons of stuff....great app to buy...
As for nova you can remove it the same way if you want to....or just install apex and set it as your default launcher under Home in settings menu...

Testing & Maintenance of Validus roms for Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 SM-T311
I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 SM-T311.
And I am always ready to experiment on my tab.
So i can test the roms developed for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 SM-T311 and find the bugs and can maintain Validus for this device but i cant build the roms.
And i am also ready to learn how to develop a rom if you people are ready to teach me.
So please develop this great rom for this device model also.
Thank You.

Crashing of System UI
The ROM's quite smooth till now, except for the crashing of the System UI whenever the theme is changed.
It's a minor issue and can be considered a negligible one. Other than this, I find the customization options a bit limited than what the other ROMs like SpiritRom (for v4.4), offered.

Many features will be added back over time....no lollipop ROM has all those features yet...
Nice port, only chrome is a bit bugy and a game like crossy road does no t work.
I have been browsing the forums for quite some time now and I have tried alot of roms. Every rom I have tried, has failed or is no longer supported. Can anyone reading this post please share a link or any other information regarding this help. I have the 5110 version note I appreciate all the help I can get.

I forced myself to break away and lightly customize a stock ROM made for a provider. It is the only stock ROM that has stagefright fix which is way cool, and a few other usabililty fixes as well. Must allow security update to patch, it helps correct a few wee bugs.
The big issue... you are forced to keep a new boot loader, and cannot revert to any previous Stock ROM, and must deal with boot loader compatibilities unknown by builders as they have stopped with any new builds .
Downside, the new bootloader effects various Root functions. But newer Super Su, Boeffla utility, and other updated older Xposed modules seem to help with the new boot loader. Plus Default Apps no longer lists, but they can be managed through App Manager.
A custom SecSettings from a Note 2 (S5 varient) will bring back the Default Apps function plus many hidden settings options built in thus latest OEM build.
So, if you want all the bells and whistles, you will have to deal with the bugs, no matter how big or how small.
Now to explain what features I had with Gnabo v8 SE that I don't miss at all.
Mag UX, Tab Keyboard, Spen Air Command, 160dpi, Multi boot menu, and enhanced wallpaper picker.
Features I have and use, and are bug free but need a system UI to use them... tested with a custom Note 2 Secsettings that has some issues because it is a S5 variant and made for Note 2 specifically.
Colorblind, Interaction Control, Face Lock (came with my OEM build), Grey Scale (built in partially with new build, but S3 neo System UI is the key), Apps from a broken and defunct custom ROM for the N5110, Quick Connect 1.6.5.
My issues are minimal, but seem to be plagued by the new boot loader more than the ported apps.
Miracast works best, 3 minutes after reboot. WiFi is not stable after using hooked VPN apps of any type. Disabling WiFi for a minute and re enabling corrects the issue 80% of the time. A reboot may need to be done if WiFi is buggy. Reboots are 75% trouble free. Sometimes you get a fast boot soon after system UI loads, sometimes you get GMS forced closes, and must reboot.
It may be because of Triangle Away not being upgraded to work with newer boot loaders, or SU still needs some tweaks to work around the latest build by Samsung.
If I were stubborn I would stick with Gnabo v8 SE and it's patches and run Boeffla kernel, and just deal with 160dpi. But I am comfy with what I did even though the 75% boot issues and Miracast functionality being effected by WiFi with VPN apps.
I have given options for assistance by ROM builders in copying my ROM for building a unique custom one, but because I am using some apps that may be from a closed off ROM to builders, respect to the owners must be made. So it will be all for personal use at most.
Thanks for the detailed reply. I guess stock with some tweaks here and there isn't that bad afterall

as of late beoffla kernal utility works smoothly with its latest update.
Also I noticed better boot ups, so most of my boot issues are from beoffola utility with the new boot loader.
Plus, I had to manually remove earth, as google's earth app is busted for 218 220 dpi on the new rom. Google pushes that version from play store without installing the busted version. I downloaded he nodpi version and run it, just unable to update it through play store.
Also wifi seems to operate smoother changing from miracast, and vpn apps. again beoffola utility finally has gotten it right, to use on newer boot loaders, and the lastest OEM ROM.
I'm not responsible for any damage to your device of any sort.
By flashing this you take responsibility of anything that happens.
Process at your own risk!

I really liked your other Marshmallow rom, but couldn't use it because I couldn't set a password or pin. Do either of those security measures work with this rom?
Thank you for all of your hard work. It really is appreciated!

I could not fix it quickly... try to use 3rd party lock screens for example.
I dont remember if it works on tab s2 port. I dont use lock screen
I've been (as you know) using your other tab / marshmallow port quite happily. What's the difference between it and this rom? Downloading anway... heck, I just realized the camera probably works in this version (not like I need it to, frankly).
Thanks again for the other one, and for continuing to pursue keeping this tablet in the thick of things. I have a pc laptop, a mac laptop, and this... and use this more than the others combined.
It's hard to compare because these two roms has one goal - make clean and stable daily firmware, but there two ways to achieve it.
It has working camera here. Some bugs with hwcomposer are solved here. I couldn't solve them in tab s2 port.
This rom should be more battery friendly
it has blue light filter but without any settings. Simple, but working.
It's not significally faster than tab s2 rom.
This rom has more possibilities for me to edit features and fix bugs. Maybe in future someone make more custom rom on this base.
And, of course, new bugs added

Well, I'm now running it. The camera appears quite nice, with settings that work well (though one did tell me it wasn't enabled or something). Just a quick fly-through on the camera so far... My next thing is to install that soundcamp app again.
One odd thing... this may have nothing to do with your port and everything to do with the original rom. But though the Samsung Galaxy app allows everying else to work just like it would on a factory tablet, the Hancom Office install is missing... all of it, anyway, except two files which are useless without the main office apps (Word, Spreadsheet, and so forth). Not a big deal, as I use Officesuite Pro anyway... but liked having a second editor option with Hancom Word. Ah, and found a copy later tonight of Hancom I'd backed up... it installed w/o incident so I'm all good.
That's all I know.
The s-pen pop-up wheel is nice on this rom. It has a feature I don't recall on the old Lollipop touchwiz called "Screen Write" -- it takes a snap of whatever's on the screen, then allows scribbling all over it with the s-pen. You can then crop or save the pic if desired. Here's a quick example (see attached photo):
Will be watching this thread for future development. Happy with your other S2 port for now though
T900
As I thought, this rom can be flashed into T900 just like other P900 roms since they share hardware. (Rotation and Vibration doesn't work just like other p900 rom due to driver differance)
Is there any way to root this rom? Im trying to use it as daily driver. I also love the speed of this rom. Thanks!!

great news to me!
any chance in future updates of backporting the note pro's multi window framework?
1. the old sidescreen tray with configurations and pairing is far superior to the "new" method of using half the screen to only select from a list (easier, faster, and most importantly doesn't require subjecting foreground app to being cached/minimized)
2. the "new" method resizing of pop up windows only works diagonally -- where as note pro framework can resize up/down, left/right, and diagonal.
Samsung is really going backwards these days ;(

We all love using custom rom's to improve our device. But every now and then I will go back to stock rom. Why?
Samsung make great apps!
I make a backup of various stock apps and then try to install them on the custom rom. It doesn't work.
.
How can I get stock apps to run on custom rom's?

The depths to which Samsung (for better or for worse) customise the Android OS on thier devices is what allows them to so deeply integrate thier own apps into the OS. This is what allows them to have proprietry features such as the S-pen recognised throughout the OS and perform specific functions in thier own apps, and also why such proprietry features, such as the S-pen, often don't work as expected (if at all) in apps that Samsung didn't develop.
Hopefully you can understand now why you can't install applications from a Samsung stock ROM on a custom ROM; the apps require functionality built into the stock rom itself.
Ok, I get it. S-pen not possible.
Is it the same for other apps? Like Music?
Another thought I had, and I don't know anything about compiling ROM's, but can you modify a stock ROM to have the improvements of a custom ROM? Therefore keeping stock apps.
There's a handful of independent apps which employ or require a pen.
The Samsung drawing app is an outdated version of a MicrographX or Adobe app in the store. But in the OS itself, the pen can just be used instead of the fingers, but with the digitizer's precision.
Hello all,
Here is the problem as I understand this - Samsung has an feature in their apps to identify compatible devices and runs special features for them.
These features are not compatible with custom ROMs on those devices. Error message is a bit misleading there. There is a general solution by using root and lying to the app about build.prop. I do not want to root my phone.
However I know from my problems with Samsung Health on root that there is a patched version you can install and setup a profile.
Once you do, the app can be updated and it works normally.
Do you guys know if such apk exists for Gear Wearable? That app works fine on Lineage 17.1 on my Sony XA, but here it will not.
I do not want to use stock, but I also need this app.
