I live in India, so does this affect anything related to root??? = No, it simply UNLOCK your device and make you a real owner ! Like SU on Ubuntu or "Run as admin" on Windows
Will root help erase or delete in built apps like google drive, play magazines??? = No, Root is just a binary file in "system/xbin/su (Maybe I am wrong). Which can exploited using apps like SuperUser.
Will i be able to use play store like normal??? = Yes, Root doesn't effect playstore and it won't ANYHOW.
Will i get software updates normally ??? like kitkat????? = No, If you root you Samsung device, kindly forget about OTA updates or KIES. But you can unroot anytime and get OTA updates or via KIES or you can do it using ODIN if it's still rooted.

That's normal that your Tab lags.
Tab 3 has a Marvell CPU w/ a fairly unknown GPU.
It have a Vivante GC1000 GPU while Tab 2 7.0 have a PowerVR SGX540 GPU.
That's why Tab 2 7.0 doesn't lag and Tab 3 7.0 lags.
In addition, Tab 2 7.0 have an OMAP 4430 CPU, which make gaming experience better than Tab 3 7.0
In other word, Tab 3 7.0 and Tab 3 Lite are NOT for Gaming.
If you want a Tab 3 Model for Gaming, pick Tab 3 8.0 which have an Exynos Dual CPU w/ Mali-400 (Quad Core Graphics), or the Tab 3 10.1 which have a faster CPU (Intel Atom Z2560) w/ a middle fast class GPU (PowerVR SGX544MP2 "2 Core Graphics"). Gaming on those two Tablets is just awesome, no lag on any game.
I recommend you read this thread about gaming on Tab 3 7.0
You may want to flash RocketTab Lite to enjoy gaming experience on your Tab 3 7.0 because this Custom Firmaware includes a Gaming Mode !
Just keep in mind that you canNOT flash this Custom ROM and the Mod if your device is NOT rooted

Well, I don't know What to tell to you but you can ask me everything you want and I will help you.
Also, the KitKat update (if available for Tab 3 7.0) should increase performance of the Tab.

You have a lot of aspirations for you new tab and with that comes many dangers. So the very first thing even before thinking about new roms and other firmware upgrades is to backup your device while it is still in its base level state. At least you should put a custom recovery on your device such as CWM or TWRP so you can do this backup. After all that is done, then I would say, play away. If you break something you will always have a way back to the beginning.
Good luck

ColorOS 2.0 for G Pro by WS008
Based on CM10.1 (4.2.2) and ColorOS Patchrom
Please take note that although this ROM is based on CM10.1, it is not merely a modification to the CyanogenMod. It uses a similar method to MIUI in building the ROM. You will get a ColorOS experience instead of a CM one by flashing it.
About ColorOS
ColorOS is a firmware based on Android with intensive modifications. It was created by Oppo and originally ran only on Oppo devices such as the Oppo Find 7. In 2014, Oppo started its Patchrom Open Source Project and allowed the ROM to be ported to other Android devices.
The ROM is ported by the Chinese developer WS008. The development of the ROM has stopped (for a long time...)
Features
ColorOS features
Added SmartMax to the kernel.
Zipaligned.
Rooted, SuperSU.
Smooth as CM10.1.
Improved battery life.
Double tap to wake.
Slide to wake.
Included Aroma Installer. You may choose which variant you have and whether you want GApps when flashing.
Screenshots
How to install
Install custom recovery (PhilZ Touch recovery recommended) (There are issues with TWRP.)
Wipe Data/Cache/System (Important)
Flash zip -> Select Your variant -> Select GApps
Downloads
From ColorOS official server.
Known Issues
NFC not working.
FAQs
1. Why 4.2.2?
The ColorOS Patchrom currently only supports Android 4.2.2. The update can only made by Oppo. We will try to update to KitKat as quickly as we can once Oppo releases the KitKat update to the Patchrom.
2. Why Chinese?
The ROM is in Chinese by default (Sorry, we cannot change it unless Oppo does something.) You may switch to English in Settings (设置).
If you like this ROM, please click the "Thanks" button. We will also appreciate a lot if you connect to the Internet at least once after flashing for statistical purposes.

Thank you very much @JTJTJ.
Eventhough you are not the developer, but your action helps us very much as we do not have that great assortment of roms.
Cheers.

For some reason i couldn't connect to my WiFi network. Also i was able to choose Hebrew language but the interface changed to English.

We need to at base 4.1.2 in order to flash this rom right bro?
going to try just backed up dho commtio 4.4.3 and flashed cmw
Not working on F220K
Sorry, but i've tried to install it several times on F220K, the installation process completes well and then it does'nt boot, then i tried F240k variant and it installed and booted well, but it had some graphics glitches on F220k, any help would be appriciated,
It doesn't boot on my phone
Flashed the E988 variant
ROM installed fine but everything is in Chinese. Color OS looks beautiful. I wish they added more steps in English for initial set up. This thread will be hard to maintain in English unless we are able to install in English.

I have just installed the rom. It works pretty well. NFC seems to work (didn't try with another phone though).
You can flash it with CWM in Freegee.
There is a tutorial to get english on Youtube:
Thanks to let us try ColorOs
UPDATE: It's not too bad, I'm not 100% sure what the OTA does but I'm on the 06/16 build. I'll try and see if I can get the double-tap wake to work in a bit. Just seeing if I can change the Chinese keyboard to an English one since installing Google Keyboard from the Playstore FC's. Overall: not bad at all.
EDIT: Forgot to mention, the speaker sounds noticeably better on here. I'm not sure what's different but the quality is great.
May I know how to disable NFC function? I click disable but it still keeping enable. Is it a bug?
So, I tried this before, and I loved the features. I couldnt however get wifi and stuff to work. I want to try it again, but the zip wont download correctly :/ It is "invalid"
EDIT: If anyone has the same problem, download and use DAp. It downloaded it without making it invalid, lol.

Anyone else have problems with getting stuck a LG logo upon first booting after install? I found that it can be fixed by copying 'wcd9310_mbhc.bin' and 'wcd9310_anc.bin' into '/system/etc/firmware/wcd9310/' (files available from here). I packed them into the ZIP, reinstalled, and am now having a colorful os.
The non-existence of those files causes this error upon install, though it wasn't reported by the installer--it claimed success!:
Code:
symlink: failed to symlink /system/etc/firmware/wcd9310/wcd9310_mbhc.bin to /data/misc/audio/mbhc.bin: No such file or directory
symlink: failed to symlink /system/etc/firmware/wcd9310/wcd9310_anc.bin to /data/misc/audio/wcd9310_anc.bin: No such file or directory
Which, I think, caused a nasty loop of '[CAM/E][ERR] ce1702_i2c_rxdata failed!' errors upon first boot, keeping me from advancing past that mocking LG logo.

Hey there bud. Great to know that there's still people out there working for the N3. This is a hopeless device, not even Lollipop support from Oppo despite being a flagship device once, so thanks a lot.
I'm currently on CM12.1 although the camera doesn't perform as well as on ColorOS and the fingerprint sensor doesn't work either, although pressing the button on the sensor does brightness up the screen and turn the capacitive buttons' light on when pressed.
Anyway, I'd love to try CM 13.0, but I'd want to know the major bugs on this release from you. Also, do let me know if I can be of any help. This is a beast of a device, let down by the abysmal software from Oppo. Will surely give it a shot if the bugs are bearable Thanks again for working on the N3!

Fingerprint/camera are mostly the same issues from cm12.1. I have not attempted device encryption yet, and I doubt our available twrp build would be able to decrypt. Other than that this build is pretty much fully functional. I have had a few intermittent issues with audio and touchscreen wakeup but mid kernel rebase so that will all get cleaned up shortly. I've actually been running this for 2 months trying to get camera working (just fixed a few days ago).

Okay, great to hear. I've done my bit of research on the N3's fingerprint sensor and I'm not sure if it would be helpful in trying to fix it or not, but do let me know if you'd want to hear about it
good to see that the device still gets cm13. Thanks for your great work.
you can check also the source for Lenovo ZUK Z1 they have the same processor and it has FS too.
How about the battery life? I am getting a worst battery life on CM 12.1

Both devices may have the same processor, but I doubt they use the same fingerprint sensor. The N3 uses the FPC1021, also used in the Gionee E8 and maybe the Lenovo Vibe X3 too. I wish we could somehow help OP in finding the sources/drivers for the FPC1021 fingerprint sensor
Okay, here's something very weird that happened yesterday. I started the camera by pressing the power button twice and the phone shut down by itself and then reboot. The phone was stuck in a bootloop. I could access TWRP, and I tried everything, right from factory resetting the phone to reflashing both, CM13 and CM12.1. Absolutely nothing helped, as the phone just couldn't go beyond the Oppo logo.
I had to install the stock Oppo recovery again in Fastboot mode, wipe the internal storage and reflash a boring ColorOS stock rom again. I'm still not sure what happened. 5 years of flashing experience and I've never known any simple system app function that could soft brick a phone so badly.
Looking forward to hearing from OP about this before I can get back to CM13, it would be great. Btw, CM13 was absolutely fantastic in the 20 minutes I could use it for before ending up with that vicious brick. Really looking forward to a more stable version. Keep up the great work, dev! Thanks!

Not happy to hear this but I've also never experienced it. Please keep in mind we are working off a massive kernel rebase to support 6.0 and things may not be ideal at times. I have been running 6.0 on N3 for a few months now but only in the last week have I had the camera functional.
Also fwiw the stock colorOS rom should flash in the newer TWRP builds, I made sure that worked myself.
Without some kind of log I'm at a loss as to what happened here. If any randomish reboot happens I need /proc/last_kmsg to have any chance of deciphering why it rebooted.
Thanks a lot for your response, bud. The N3 is my daily driver, so I couldn't mess around too much. I waited for a bit, then flashed stock ColorOS right away, because I need the phone, especially on this busy weekend. I think I was using an older version of TWRP, so I'm not sure whether that could be a problem either. I'm going to try and get back on CM 13 sometime today, and see how it goes this time.
Once again, thanks a ton for working on this phone. I thought it was completely dead. Oppo are really bad at supporting any devices except the Find 7. Let me know if I can help in any way, I'd be more than happy to be of any help
This may be a silly question Jason, but I see all these new builds popping up on your website for the N3, but I can't seem to find any kind of a nightly changelog on either cmxlog.com or even review.cyanogenmod.org. Is there any way we could perhaps see what changes are being made?

Got the same problem here. There was CM12 before, and ColorOS. But after flashing CM13 and that error, i cant flash any AOSP roms. Just ColorOS. And got permanent wifi and proximity sensor issues. They doesn't work anymore, even after flashing stock clean chinese ColorOs rom. Don't even know, what to do...
Got the same problem, can't boot up now nor flashing cm 12.1 back, only coloros works now and without wifi. We need a fix as i can't stand the poor coloros.
---------- Post added at 01:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:16 PM ----------
So guys I've found a temporary wifi fix, you need to copy some files from the coloros zip to the /persist folder using root Explorer, works for me, but still not a permanent fix.
Sounds good) What files?
And check please all sensors, such as proximity, light, and others. there are a lot of programms in google play for cheking that.
To get wifi working, follow these steps :
**YOU NEED A ROOT **
1. Extract this file to get the 4 needed files.
2. Using root Explorer , copy the extracted files to /persist folder in root directory.
3. Select all the files after copying and select permission.
4. Make the permissions as rw-r-r--
5. Try to switch on wifi multiple times until it works.
**IMPORTANT**
Rebooting the device will deletes the files from /persist folder and wifi will not work again until you repeat the steps , don't know why, but it is a temporary fix and works with no issues.
Man, you are the best! And what about sensors?
And where did you find this solution?

Are you guys saying wifi and sensors were not working for you? If so this is important and i need logs from a clean boot. These have always worked fine for me on these builds.

Thanks a lot... I was wondering if there were someone concerned about porting lineage for sm-t560(gtelwifi).
Do you know if there are plans to port a newer version of lineage for this device?

Thanks a lot... I was wondering if there were someone concerned about porting lineage for sm-t560(gtelwifi).

I don't own this device. A friend gave me his tab for a few days and that's what i got so far.
Everything else is up to the non existing community.
Thanks for your work, i will test it! appricate that you are workin for this device. Would be very nice if you could throw out a Lineage14 release, i would test for you, too @codeworkx!

Yep works on my very good!
Tried today, Tab is even much faster!
Thanks to codeworkx, this should be more visible
It works excellent, but I can not integrate it into Kernel Kitchen is loaded.
Been waiting for a custom ROM for this for a long time. Been running rooted stock with Nova launcher and xposed modules. This ROM is light speed in comparison. Google account recovered apps perfectly, no data loss at all. Smooth, seamless upgrade.
Top work chap. Top work. Not tried firing it up under ART yet? Any point?
Any application to have the pincer gesture?
Tab E is having an identity crisis
it clearly says its a SM-T560NU.
said it in android before I started this adventure, says it on the back of the device as well.
I used Odin 3 to flash TWRP 2.8.7.0
got there
used TWRP to flash SUv2.82 SR5
at this point I realized I had forgotten to backup the stock system
it hung at the logo screen
tried again, same result.
used twrp to try a different SU.
same result.
all that to say this weird occurrence....
I found the Lineage OS 14 rom for the SM-T560NU
flashed it
and the log literally said
this package is gtelwifiue for device smt560,smt560nu. this device is gtelwifi.
WTF??
so know I am grabbing the Lineage 11 rom for gtelwifi.
guess ill see what happens.

Lineage 11 zip flash failed. it didn't specify any reason.
I can still get into TWRP. I just cant seem to find an OS itll accept.
could this have something to do with knox ?

It's probably a problem of TWRP. They guy who did it made a misstake.
Just to make it clear:
This rom is only for SM-T560 (gtelwifi, Spreadtrum CPU) and not for SM-T560NU (gtelwifiue, Qualcomm CPU).

After installing my PC doesnt recognize it anymore
The Menu-Key is also not working
Mensch, grad gesehen, dass du ja Deutsch bist
Naja, wie gesagt. Installation usw lief alles super, Tablet läuft auch fix
Allerdings erkennt mein PC jetzt das Tablet nicht mehr. Es kommt zwar der Windows Sound, dass ein Gerät angeschlossen wurde und auch das Tablet merkt, dass es angeschlossen wurde .. aber es taucht eben im Explorer nicht auf
Ebenso geht die Menü-Tatste nicht .. schmeiß es jetzt wieder runter, sehr schade :/

After quite some pain usiing it, Iam not recommending this rom.
Its mostly broken, many apps wont work for some reason and some buttons too
Returning to Stock Android, seems like the better choice .. :/
--- Tablet isnt recognized anymore in Odin, no way to flash it back to Stock OS ---
Stuck on this half-working Rom now ..

First of all, thank you very much, codeworkx, for working on this! I've given it a try and while I didn't find any apps that did not work, I also noticed that the menu button does not work. My primary motivation was to get off of Android 4 so that I can install Lego's Boost App on this device which requires Android 5+. Lineage OS 11.0 is still Android 4 so I knew it would not help but I wanted to learn more about LineageOS and this was the only tablet I could play with.
I just flashed it back to the stock ROM using the process described at https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2283598 using the original firmware downloaded from https://samsung-firmware.org/de/model/SM-T560/ primarily because I noticed that Netflix is no longer available using LineageOS. I'll keep an eye on the development in that corner, though, maybe one day we'll have LineageOS 14.1 for this tablet with a working Netflix.
Get netflix from apkmirror.
I'll not continue to work on it because i dont own this tab. But maybe someone else will pick it up.

I have installed this rom on a SM-T560 using the proceedure detailed by the OP. Only issues I found was the recent apps button didnt work, so simply remapping the home key to carry out this function on double tap works perfectly, AOSP keyboard kept falling over, installation of Gboard solves this problem and ART will not enable correctly in the developer settings. Hey ho!
Made my tablet faster and now I have been gifted a cheap BT keyboard, its almost like a laptop.
thanks to the OP/dev for this, my hat is off to you Sir
I wanted to create a new Rom myself, but when I enter a repo sync -j20 --force-sync I get the following error:
Code:
fatal: error parsing manifest /home/marcel/.repo/local_manifests/gtelwifi.xml: not well-formed (invalid token): line 42, column 90
What could it mean?

Something within the xml file isn't well formated. Maybe just a missing char.

Clean install ended with ERROR: 7
Error 7 may sometimes be the result of an outdated recovery or the ROM is not made for the particular phone. Check the updater script for your phone's model #.

The Phone is SGH I747 ; the baseband version is NJ2, The Recovery, however , is the latest for this device (TWRP 3.1.1-0) With respect to your caution (**Note It is mandatory to install TWRP version 3.1.0-0 **note) would I seriously have to revert to the previous version? The Device is also running RR-N-v5.8.2 by @Lonelyskatter12.
I would follow the ROM developer's recommendations.

I think it'll be fine if you have a version 3.1.1-0 but beyond that will result in a installation failure. The ROM supposedly only can be run with TWRP version being 3.1.1-0 or lower. If it was to be higher than 3.1.1-0 it might cause a problem.
But if you failed to install it at ver 3.1.1-0, then I suggest that you go for the lower version as I stated in my caution warning.

Questions & Concerns
So I have been flashing & testing some different custom roms on my SGH-I747 with TWRP. No problems using 3.2.3-0. I didn't know if you post here
just simply came out before 3.2.3-0? Are you saying anything less than 3.1.0-0 would be a problem? That newer TWRP like I am using would be ok?
Or is there some odd reason the newer TWRP 3.2.3-0 would wreck my phone if I tried to install this Remix Rom with it???
Update:
Its been a week or so and not getting any response I decided to not risk it. I found another option. But first where i'm coming from. Not happy with AT&T 4.4.2. I was running Cyanogenmod 13 which is 6.0.1....... But that Custom ROM is buggy with the LTE not automatically connecting. Having to toggle Airplane mode just to connect is unacceptable behavior. Plus not to mention the worry that If I upgrade to a higher level of Android like 7.1 --- I may not be able to downgrade back to 6 later if necessary.
So to get to the point I came across SlimOS 6.0.1 AND WOW! I have to say I'm very satisfied with the results.. It runs well on the S3. I made some changes though... Mainly I did not like its Slim Launcher nor am I a fan of Google's Launcher So I changed to Trebuchet Launcher 6.0.1.6 found on APKMirror.. Also had to turn off SlimRecents in the Settings/Interface section. Doing This plus a New Battery, a Nice Case & Screen Protector Has breathed New Life into a Handmedown free Samsung Galaxy S3 SHG-I747.
I Highly Recommend anyone trying to fix up a Galaxy S3 to Try the above mentioned setup Its Definitely a Workable Solution. Without any connection issues & seems to improve my Signal Strength!
Unfortunately, the reference to SlimOS 6.0.1 does not work. deleted.

Dear joseph15two. How can you enter the engineering menu on this device? I tried all the ways - I can not go. Can you find a solution to this problem? Respectfully ...
HUH?
So I Dont understand what reference to SlimOS 6.0.1 you are referring too... Deleting??? I am running Slim0S 6.0.1 on a Galaxy SIII ATT version phone right now and it works perfectly well. Exactly as I described in my post. Which doesn't appear to be deleted. And Much better than any other Custom Rom I've tried? So what exactly "reference to SlimOS 6.0.1 doesn't work" are you talking about?

I wrote that there is no possibility to download from the site - slimr.....s.org...device...d2att, because there is no link to download. and not that this build doesn't work on the phone. This is probably the cost of translation.
O'IC
Wow I had not been back to their site in a few months. Oddly since then, they have updated to show a ver 7 rom for the I747 also, but your right there seems to be no link to click on now to download them. Don't know why they would produce a build 7 recently and add it to their site list but break the links to download either of them... That is the page I downloaded it from originally. I may try to contact them & let them know, it could be an oversite.
I still have the SlimOS 6 rom if needed. But I don't see a way to upload it on xda…
Edit: The files I used to setup my phone including that rom are here till June 15th.

Thank you so much for the link to SlimOS 6. Download at once. And interestingly SlimOS 7 will it be possible to download? But this is after, I still have a problem with the phone battery. In my opinion the battery is dead. The phone does not even boot. Sometimes you can download the recovery and at a charge of 100% perform the download into the system. But in 99% of cases, the phone turns off and shows the battery with a circle inside on a black screen and only works vibro once and that's it. And further along the cycle. Nowhere did I find information about the charge controller - it is in the phone, or in the battery. I would be very grateful for the answer. Respectfully ....
Battery
Well in my experience its likely the battery. Problem is getting a genuine battery. as most are knockoff counterfeit labeled SAMSUNG. Don't be fooled by them they are not. There's a company in Canada I think, that claims to sell Real Genuine batteries for the SIII. I cant remember the name of the Co. though. But a little googling about fake vs genuine Samsung battery for SIII and you will find what I did. I now have a working battery/phone!
Update::
I Have been in contact w/ Jean-Pierre Rasquin with SlimOS.. He has found a developer(Android Andi) that has as recently as March 2019 been keeping v6.0 Updated! Security & Such... They are in the process of getting me the Mar19 edition of SlimOS 6 for D2ATT....
Jean has also stated there was never a version 7 in the works for SIII AT&T Model.

Hello!
And you can contact this Jean-Pierre Rasquin and ask how you can go to the engineering menu. It is necessary to include 3 bands on LTE. I would really appreciate it.
Well I've asked some Questions as of recent ~in the last couple weeks and haven't got a response so I doubt I will get one. Googling your 3 band thing I take it you are in Europe?
DLing now to try out. thank you for your time and this build @joseph15two
