This is based on P7500XWKK4_P7500NEEKK1_NEE Galaxy Tab 10.1 / HC 3.2 ROM but it is for the P7100 tablet.
Please read the whole thread before you flash. There are a couple of BUGS!
Flash on your own risk. I cannot be held responsible for any damage caused to your tab
This is not all my own work, I have worked with other members to get this ROM working.
DO NOT USE FACTORY REST IN ROM, EVER, USE WIPE SCRIPT TO RESET IF YOU NEED/WANT, IF YOU ARE GOING TO USE THE FACTORY RESET OPTION, YOU WILL BOOTLOOP!
kernel is provided by pershoot - compiled by myself - all kernel work is from pershoot here
first-time users you need to wipe! use supplied wipe script. Please read carefully, everything is here to get it flashed onto your TAB, if you do not understand what to do, ask, we will gladly try and assist.
Copy the downloaded files to sdcard (/sdcard/) and flash via ClockWorkMod
As always backup your data / apps before doing this! I use Titanium backup, search for it in the market.
Please read the thread before you report a bug. don't report already reported bugs. keep the thread clean. use xda's search feature
You need unlocked bootloader, click on link to see how to unlock.
You need root, click on link to see how to root.
Note: you MUST have Samsung Kies installed, or device drivers, for adb to work! It seems a lot of people do not have it installed, which causes a lot of confusion.
You need ClockworkMod Recovery (it is part of ROM Manager), download ROM Manager from market to install ClockWorkMod.
If you are a new to this please read this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1232664, on how to unlock and root your TAB.
Please remember that this modified rom of P7500, Some features will not work 100%, most does but there are going to be a few bugs.
Features
Honeycomb 3.2 Based on P7500XWKK4_P7500NEEKK1_NEE ROM for the P7500, it will report as a P7500 but it is a P7100. Cannot change it to P7100 then some applications do not work.
Samsung TouchWiz UX UI
allows OC up to 1.4Ghz kernel, based on pershoot kernel compiled to include the following modules: ntfs.ko, tun.ko, cifs.ko
Kies via Wifi works on latest Kies in windows
Zipaligned
Deodexed - First boot will take a while, so be patient, if it did not boot after 30min then force a reboot!
Voodoo sound improvements (Download voodoo from Market)
NEVER USE FACTORY RESET IN INSIDE ROM SETTINGS OR DELETE DATA/CACHE IN CWM. YOU WILL BOOTLOOP!
See second post for other items
Bugs
3g: SIM PIN Lock must be removed for 3g to work after first boot. If you have SIM PIN please disabled it in Setting->Location and Security -> Set up SIM card lock
None of the security features work, Lock screen, PIN, Pattern, Password. If someone can let me know why and how to fix let me know!
Camera currently is only 3.2mp. May Crash sometimes - working on it.
Please report Bugs in thread
Thanks to:
pershoot, for getting the kernel working! He is the MAN! He worked nights to get the kernel working on the 10.1v, with not even having the device!
SEO, He has assisted me a lot over the last couple of months!, if it was not for him I could not have done this
To the community that got me into this without them I would not have been able to do this.
If I missed someone let me know it was not intended.
Changelog:
1.2.5.v: VoiceSearch.apk - deodexed
1.2.4.v: Camera fixed - touch autofocus - seo
1.2.4.v: Kernel modules cifs and ntfs added.
1.2.3v : Camera Fixes as per SEO
1.2.2v : Removed FactoryTest.apk and Factory.apk as per SEO suggestion.
1.2.1v : Public Release Build
1.2cv : third test build - limited testing
1.2bv : Second Build - internal
1.2av : Initial Build - internal
Download:
- 1.2.5v Full ROM
- please flash the "WIPE" zip, TB Galaxy WIPE script (SEO's), required for new users coming from stock. This will FACTORY RESET your tab but /data/media(sdcard) (your music, pictures & videos) will be left intact.
- this will NOT factory reset your tab if you're not on older version of this rom
More information available from. http://ismaakit.com/blog/
Kernel sources is compiled by me to make sure it is working 100%, but all credit goes to pershoot.
See this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20050409&postcount=128 for a different location. Thank you to algzed for providing this location.
Please do not link directly to the files, use this thread if you want to link.
[Q]
I updated and noticed cifs.ko is not included?
[A]
Here you go: Link This includes a compiled kernel without debug-info, it also include all the modules that is compiled for pershoots kernel. List of modules included:
asix.ko
aufs.ko
auth_rpcgss.ko
cifs.ko
dhd.ko
ff-memless.ko
hid-sony.ko
lockd.ko
nfs_acl.ko
nfs.ko
ntfs.ko
rpcsec_gss_krb5.ko
scsi_wait_scan.ko
sunrpc.ko
tun.ko
xpad.ko
[Q]
Where are the modules installed?
[A]
Have a look on the tablet via adb
Code:
adb shell
cd /lib/modules
ls
Latest Official buke2 Modem:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash modem modem.bin
fastboot reboot
YOU DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Modem.bin
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TIP: Enable USB Charging
Code:
adb shell
cd /sys/class/power_supply/battery/
echo 1 > force_usb_charging
To disable it:
Code:
adb shell
cd /sys/class/power_supply/battery/
echo 0 > force_usb_charging
b.t.w. a couple of users has asked why not default?
I DO NOT LIKE THE IDEA OF CHARGING THE BAT FROM USB, IF IT WAS SUPPOSE TO DO THAT, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN ENABLED, but that is me, you are welcome to do it if you wish.
This is active until you reboot. Then you will have to redo.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TIP: IF YOU MAYBE LOOSE ROOT IF YOU RESTORE A ROM, TO GET ROOT BACK JUST DO THIS:
Code:
adb remount
adb shell chmod 6755 /system/bin/su
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You push me to flash my tab XD
Excellent job ! Thank you
I just got a tiny question, is it possible to made a touchwiz UX.zip apart ?
To keep the beauty of Honeycomb ?
Just asking
Downloading, will give this rom a try after download has finished
Thnx ISI (and offcourse seo and pershoot) to for all your work.
Downloading rom and will flash when, it's finished.

Great Rom
Ok,
Fist of all thanks for having this new version of android on my tablet.
This is how i installed the ROM.
Coming from your HC3.1 1.03v:
booted in recovery via rom manager
install zip from sdcard isi-galaxy-1.2.1v.zip
wipe cache
wipe dalvik
reboot
I first thought my tablet was hanging, for several minutes it was stuck at the samsung logo during boot, so i hold the powerbutton and rebooted. After that it booted ok. Maybe i had to wait longer?
But everything seems to be ok. Appearantly it doesn't wipe
For me this rom is beter than the previous since I don't use camera and 3g.
The Calendar app is now amazing, it is fluent like it should have being.
I will report back if i encounted errors.

Yeah you should have waited, first boot will take a while because the ROM is DEODEXED. After that is should fly.
ISI,
Do you know if the hooolmglow theme will work on this rom.?
Backing up my apps right now, then the flashing wil begin.

isi, some things I found so far while working on my own build:
- keeping stock p7500 gralloc.tegra.so / hwcomposer.tegra.so + stock 7500 kernel make video playback smoother. way smoother than *old* replaced hw libs + pershoot kernel. (of course camera does not work and orientation is always flipped but that's ok with stock kernel) we should wait for new official kernel source and keep p7500 libs in the future
- FactoryTest.apk BLOCKS setupwizard. removing FactoryTest.apk and Factory.apk should fix setup wizard and non-working lockscreen. pls test on your build.
I don't have much time ATM to fix camera / seccamera / secmediarecorder. will do it tomorrow and will post the apk here for you.
cheers
EDIT: btw I am not 100% sure that choppy video playback is caused by hw libs / kernel OR nvodm_* libs. no time to check atm.. will do later or tomorrow

I got Camera at 8mp but Video Recoder crashed on me so I decided not yet to release and keep stock as to have a working camera set.
Thanks will wait for your patched files. I am no smali expert, would rather wait for you
[Edit] I can confirm if you delete those two files setup wizard works and lock screen as well! Great! Busy fixing....
Assistance needed: Someone with a fast internet connection. I only have a 512kb connection at home. It takes four hours to upload. So I did the change online. Hopefully it will work. It should!
Can you please test a fix for me. I did the fix online in the zip file not to upload everything from scratch.
Download this file. Do a full wipe and install. Post here if it works!
If no one tests it, I'll try that fix when I get home in a few hours...

Super SU by CF
SuperSU is the Superuser access management tool of the future
Features include:
- Superuser access prompt
- Superuser access logging
- Superuser access notifications
- Per-app notification configuration
- Temporary unroot
- Deep process detection (no more unknowns)
- Works in recovery (no more segfaulting)
- Works when Android isn't properly booted
- Works with non-standard shell locations
- Trusts ADB connection
- Always runs in ghost mode
- Wake on prompt
The Pro version additionally offers:
- OTA survival mode (no guarantees)
- Full color-coded command content logging (input/output/error)
- Per-app logging configuration
- Per-app user override
- PIN protection
Who, What Why ? - said by CF
As you may know, I make a lot of apps that use or require root. I also release rooted kernels. I run into a lot of issues with existing Superuser tools. More importantly, a lot of my users run into these issues as well and then email me about it. So I decided to do something about this. Doesn't mean these were problems you have ever seen, or will ever see.
And thus, I have written - pretty much from scratch - SuperSU. I have taken the su binary command line parameter parsing from Superuser, to make sure that is compatible. Aside from that, it is completely rewritten, because how I wanted to do a number of things was incompatible with the existing codebase.
This is not a stab at ChainsDD, or his skills. He has done great work and will no doubt continue to do so, however, I felt the need for some of these changes, and thus made them. This is an early release, so I expect there will be some unforseen issues somewhere.
From now on, all CF-Root and Mobile ODIN Pro (EverRoot) releases will be built around SuperSU.
Please note that SuperSU is not hardened-security-tested or reviewed, and may be exploitable (... as may other solutions ...).
Install :
Flashable Zip v0.93
Market :
Lite
Pro
Note : Pro is key only, you need to install lite version first.
If you install from market, you will have two superuser, remove older one with system appl remover, or any other application can perform same job.
Remember, if you remove older first without installing newer one, you will lose Root n newer won't run.
One more thing market version will be regular application, so hard reset can delete it. So better install with flashable zip, to make it system application.

Thanks a lot doc. Gonna give it a try.

Sorry to say but this belongs to General Section.
Nice one, Dr.Ketan.
Perhaps your fine installation instruction could also include this:
"Superuser (the old one) is a system app and should be removed from /system/app/ folder using Root Explorer, ES Eplorer with root permissions, or similar explorer app. Titanium Backup does not show Superuser in its app list, and therefore cannot remove it."
Otherwise you'll be swamped with Titanium questions.
This is modding
any thing android Mod, should be better place under development.

It will install, but not as system application. So it is recommended to flash with CWM. as well you have to remove old manually, if you install from market

Very Slow Boot Up Following Switch to SuperSU Pro
My Note is running rooted stock ROM with Franco.kernel v6. After installing the SuperSU v.75.zip with CWM and installing the Pro key, and removing Superuser.apk my Note is VERY slow to boot up. It took less than 1 minute immediately prior to SuperSU and now takes 5-6 minutes. It runs wifi and mobile data and sync together EVERY time it boots. It never did this before. It also runs "Media Scanning 6-8 times before it finishes booting.
I'm not complaining, just informing. I realize that this is a new work in progress as posted in the OP post #1. Is anyone else having these issues? If not, any suggestions to correct these problems? I have tried clearing Dalvik and cache partition through CWM app.
Thank you for any help and/or advice.

what you said was true...it slows up booting...but what i did was, in supersu app, i selected grant as default and there is no need for prompt...after that, booting as speed up!
I actually found my own solution as you were posting! Thanks for your help, grgsiocl!!! I did leave default access set to PROMPT though as it will only show the first time until i grant permission.
MY SOLUTION: I unchecked the show Notification Toasts, rebooted and total boot up took 50 seconds!
Sorry for wasting space in this thread!!! Hopefully, anyone else having similar trouble will see this.

STOCK RELOADED v1 fix 1
Kernel base: stock XXUANC3 (kernel 3.4.0-1131235)
Kernel ramdisk: modded
Features: a few...
Security level: low!
Purpose: giving everyone who loves free exploring of Android secrets and who doesn't consider security as an absolute priority and who wants to put some life in this, indeed, awesome device, a possibility of playing with his device without disturbing restrictions, forced by Samsung, at least until fully-custom kernels, compiled from sources, appear (and that may take some time, as source code available atm seems to be broken, causing all the compiled kernels to stuck at boot screen).
Features working out-of-the-box:
- su binary from SuperSU by Chainfire @ /sbin/su (binary only for scripting purposes! Flash cf-root to use SuperSU app!)
- busybox 1.22.1 binary compiled by Stericson @ /sbin/busybox
- init.d support - just put your favorite scripts into /system/etc/init.d using any file manager and chmod 755 (not 777! it's NOT smart to permit write access for "world" to any system file), chown root:root, they will run on every boot. Well, to be honest, above permissions are given to all the scripts automatically during boot, but it has not yet been tested
- SELinux: Permissive - Samsung's most recent policy of forcing SELinux Enforcing mode by pre-compiling it into a kernel binary part, found in latest KitKat builds since at least a few months, HACKED FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER using innovative method of injecting an information directly into kernel memory space and forcing overwriting potentially-persistent kernel symbol value on-line during boot!)
- unsecure adb access (not tested yet)
- ext4 tweak: 20 sec (instead of stock 5 sec) write commit delay for /data partition (significantly increases IO performance!)
- some further, minor modifications
WARNING!!!
- flashing this WILL undoubtly trip KNOX, avoiding your warranty (which atm cannot be reverted! in any way)
- flashing this WILL cause a warning message of avoided warranty to be displayed on every boot (ofc it disappears right after reverting to stock boot.img)
- flashing this WILL disable some of the very important security features provided with stock firmware!!!! For advanced and experienced users only!!! Use at your own risk!
Known issues:
- AllCast Share mirroring not working (typical for all Samsung devices running not-exactly-stock kernels since S3). WORKING FIX AT POST #16!!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54516532&postcount=16
Please consider solution from post #3 as not-always-working and depreciated!
Installation:
- compatibile with XXUANC3 firmwares but probably also with other (past and hope future too...) KitKat 4.4.2 Samsung branded firmwares;
- rooting by Chainfire's CF-Root first recommended as it will install SuperSU app in Android (this kernel contains su binary only giving su access without any policy settings!);
- enter download mode and plug the tablet via USB...
- ...select provided file in PDA section (and NOT touch anything except that)...
- ...and flash with Odin in a same way as CF-Root or like anything else...
- enjoy.
DOWNLOAD HERE:
Current version - STOCK RELOADED v1 fix 1
http://www63.zippyshare.com/v/87557346/file.html
FIXED: file name changed so it can be flashed directly by Odin without renaming! Sorry for this silly mistake!
=======
Changelog:
v1 fix1:
- fixed permissive mode due to trivial error;
- delayed init.d execution to a moment AFTER init process set cfq scheduler so it is not overriding mmcblk0 tweaks (if put in init.d) anymore;
- minor code cleanups
v1:
- initial release
- init.d support
- SELinux permissive
- unsecure ADB
- ext4 delayed commit for /data

Sorry pal, Qualcomm only, not even a chance to run this same way as the devices (and mostly important: provided software, ie. system structure) DIFFER A LOT between themselves.
Update 1: uploaded fix #1 which is resolving some trivial issues found in initial version; sorry for that, now we can say that every described feature has been included hope for some feedback... thank you...
Update 2: FIX FOR NOT WORKING SCREEN MIRRORING CAN BE DOWNLOADED HERE:
http://www67.zippyshare.com/v/25492738/file.html
I have personally modified a library that is being used by screen mirroring feature, which forces video encryption using keys from stock kernel, and which prevents to run mirroring at all . This is an issue of any modified kernel, on any Samsung device. Attached library fixes this, by disabling HDCP at all. It has been reported that the library resolves the issue for any Qualcomm based Samsung device running 4.4.2 KitKat and for any custom kernel. It will NOT work for Exynos devices...
Installation:
- download attached libwfdsm.so file
- overwrite genuine one in/system/vendor/lib (important! NOT /system/lib!!!!)
- chmod 644 libwfdsm.so ||| chown 0.0 libwfdsm.so ||| restorecon -R /system/vendor/lib
- mirroring will work again after reboot!!
YAY!
Beautiful, absolutely beautiful. You made ma a very happy man with this. I'll flash this as soon as I get home from work. Can't wait to try it out, the stock kernel is giving me SOD and frozen wifi issues sometimes.

I was literally just about to post in the old thread with bad news about the modified "libwfdsm.so" file & screen mirroring with a custom kernel...if u remember i confirmed that the file u altered would work with a custom recovery on the 8.4 lte & i just assumed that it would work with an altered boot.img as well but unfortunately thats not the case after testing the other night (unless something else is wrong with my setup). So...my question is have u changed something else since then to allow it to work again & have u personally tested this yourself?
sorry to hijack the thread...didnt know if i should pm or post in the older thread

No problem, anyway, thanks for pointing the issue out! This may be an important information for mirroring users!
Since then I didn't change anything, yet. Really, I am also not sure if I have tested it with modified kernel, as the one posted here is the first kernel for P905 at all, and it's not even "fully" customized, as the kernel binary base was left unchanged.
So, I'd like to be sure: you are saying that modded lib:
- fixed the problem for custom recovery, but...
- ...didn't fix it for custom kernel
right?
I was looking for a solution to persistent enforcing mode since some time, so I was flashing test boot.imgs from time to time, then reverting to stock again, meanwhile I created above lib, I can't really be sure about if it is working when both bootimg and kernel are customized (this would also be an opposite to previous Sammy's Android releases, where a single fix was solving all the issues related to customizations of both kernel and recovery!).
We also have to be aware that the issues may not be a result of flashing different kernel at all, but a result of the changes themselves, ie. disabled knox, disabled encryption of i-dont-really-know-what, etc, etc.
And the most important thing! Since I have heard of AllShareCast/Screen Mirroring for the first time (it probably appeared for the first time in S3/Note2/Note10.1), it always required resetting the flash counter - which could be viewed in download mode and which is NOT the same as Knox flag - to ZERO and that requirement AFAIR remained totally independent from the requirement of having stock boot/kernel (or lib patch). Have you checked the counter state? Did you reset it to zero again using Chainfire's Triangle Away after flashing non-stock kernel (which, obviously, TRIPPED the counter)? Can you check if it is working? Note that at least on my P905, Triangle Away still works flawlessly and resets the counter without any problems and even without a need of reboot!
Please check above info and try if the issue is fixed after running Triangle Away. I am leaving for a short business trip soon, so I'll perform my own tests with AllShare cast until next of the week, however, neither today nor tomorrow...
I get an "md5 error! binary is invalid" when I choosse the file in Odin. I downloaded the file 6 times, and every time I get the md5 error.
What do I do?
EDIT: Renaming the file to "boot.tar.md5" seemed to solve the problem.

Hi,
I have a problem with screen mirroring.
Installed the patch and mirroring connects to the dongle, but the TV screen turns just black.
The dongle works perfect with HTC One M8, it must be a softwareproblem?
Thanks for help!!!
Will this work on the P905V (Verizon Variant)? I need to downgrade the permissions in my Security in order to use Towelroot, because they're set to Medium and I believe that prevents Towelroot to work properly. Most of the other Note 12.2 variants have been rooted....except the Verizon version.
Can anyone give me some advice please. When I enter the command in terminal emulator I get an error saying "Unable to open chown. No such file or directory". Am I missing something obvious lol.
Will this work on p907a AT&T version of note pro 12.2?

I would like this answered as well. I also have the "v" variant. Maybe saying LTE includes many? See my link I attached, found while investigating this specific question.

Ever since I rooted my tablet it goes on random reboot kicks. I want to start over. Also TWRP will not stick when I try to flash it.
I have many issues which I'm currently posing in their appropriate forums. It would be nice to wipe to a rooted stock.
Guys!
I have probably found another solution for non-working Screen Mirroring / AllShare Cast when custom kernel is flashed (again, LTE devices only).
No need of modded lib
Seems that the only thing we need is to
1) run Terminal Emulator and type:
Code:
su -c setprop wlan.wfd.hdcp disable
(will work immediately; won't stick between reboots!), OR...
2) edit /system/build.prop file with any root file manager/text editor and add a line (no matter where):
Code:
wlan.wfd.hdcp=disable
(will work only after reboot; will stick between reboots).
Try this using kernel from op waiting for feedback!
Thanks. The Galaxy is connecting to theTV, but the screen is only turning black - no Display...
Any idea?
Thank you.

I tried both methods and still get no devices found when I turn on screen mirroring.

Hm.
This is weird, as the problems with allshare cast + custom kernels is not that "no devices are found" but that devices ARE found without any problem but the connection process fails after a few secs. This solution may help with the issue i described, but it will surely not solve the problem with no peers detected at all.
No peers detected = problems with wifi direct (are you able to send files between wifi direct between devices?)
Can you tell me what is your exact device config? And are you using allsharecast dongle or other third party hardware?
@fokus
Only one: also reset flash counter with Triangle Away and then try again. And make sure you spell the value in the command as "disable" not "disabled" - it's tricky and one can miss it...
Well, there are two additional things to add.
Guys, make sure you have updated Samsung's ScreenMirroring firmware update app to the latest version. And check out the samsung mirroring fix app in google play, which solves some issues for various devices (dunno which ones exactly as i have never been in need of using it).
The fix half worked for me lol. The tablet now connects fine to the Netgear PTV3000 but all I get is black screen. Step in the right direction though as at least it connects now. Just need to get a picture to show lol.
Hi guys, in the last update the system partition has been changed to a new FS called squashfs that is probably faster then ext4 but is also read-only and doesn't let us play with all the stuff we are used to play with.
So i converted the original stock ROM to a more comfortable EXT4 FS with a kernel that supports it and some nice stuff too.
FEATURES:
- EXT4 system partition;
- Root;
- init.d support;
- KPPD by @savoca that let u play with the screen parameters;
- busybox;
- full cores support ( 4 core active handled by mpdecision hotplug);
- max freq increased to 998400 Hz;
IMPORTANT:
For "size" reason ( LG made the system partition too small for all the new stuff ) i made some optimization to all the apks in order to reduce them size but it wasn't enought so i had to remove some fonts and some apks too (like LG Healt and some watch faces).
So, if you can't live without them, i suggest to stay on stock until i can find a way to include them without playing with the partitions size ( that i think is too dangerous ).
UPDATE: On the latest update i found a way to decrese the ROM size so you dont need to flash any other file. (The only thing i removed is the wrist gesture tutorial).
INSTALLATION:
1- download the new kernel (Skin1980-boot-M1D64S.img ) and the ROM (MM-system-ext4-M1D64S.img)
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862690904 Kernel
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120695961 ROM
2- reboot to bootloader;
3- flash the stuff with:
Code:
fastboot flash system MM-system-ext4-M1D64S.img
Code:
fastboot flash boot Skin1980-boot-M1D64S.img
4- reboot the device with:
Code:
fastboot reboot
CHANGELOG:
Rom M1D64S:
- Rom and Kernel updated to the latest patches (M1D64S);
Rom v.1.2
- Added Android N Emoji
Kernel v.1.1:
- fixed a bug with ADB;
Rom v.1.1:
- Completely rebuilt, more apks removed but you can install them flashing THIS in TWRP. Some apps might don't work correctly, if u can test and report what is not working i will remove them from the zip.
Waiting for your feedback.
I spent a lot of time to build this so donations are welcome. Thank you.

50 download and no feedback... Can u tell me if all is working please?
I wanted to wait 24hrs (as usual to give any feedback)
It does boot and works, here are my findings:
- everything works just as before on stock (Fit App, Wear Launcher, SWApp True Dark, Cards, weather, calls, notifications)
- noticeable faster bootup after restart
- watch feels snappier and more responsive
- battery life is still under investigation, but my first impression is there is an improvement - I have pulled the watch of the charger at 8:02 AM now here is 12:41 PM and I have still 79% left. I have Fit (without activity detection), Wear Mini launcher, Wear Calendar, all notifications on and Always-On display ENABLED (the real battery sucker).

Thanks a lot for your feedback! BTW i noticed that after a factory reset google play service crash a lot and I can't setup the watch correctly. I'm preparing a new build trying to solve the issue.
I did a clean install. The google play service crashes and it doesnt sync the apps.

Try clearing Google play services on you phone then use reset wear client to reconnect you're watch to your phone and that should fix the problem. Here's a link to the thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/and.../app-reset-wear-client-switch-phones-t3058962

I made a new ROM, previous issues seem fixed but i had to removed some apk more. BTW i provided a zip ( that can be flashed with twrp) with the stuff i removed. I didn't have the time to test what apps are still working if installed in /data, if u can test and report would be great.
ROM Is in upload
EDIT: Uploaded
Updated version of this ROM: [ROM][TMOBILE][S7_SM-G930T][Oreo 8.0 Rooted][WifiCalling]G930TUVU4CRI2
ROM last updated: 10/30/2018
Introduction:
HUGE thanks to the guys that got this going like root & figuring out hybrid stocks! This ROM is a complete rewrite of my ROM [ROM][TMOBILE][S7_SM-G930T][Oreo Rooted] That ROM doesnt have WifiCalling & I couldn't get it to work for the life of me, so I rewrote it. I started with stock, and slowly stepped back making changes, reinstalling each time, confirming it still worked. About 200 installs later & 1000s of changes, this is the result. Yes, it took a LONG time. Hope you enjoy it! Don't forget to say Thanks so I know it is actually helpful to others, and continue doing this!
Description:
Stock Tmobile Oreo 8.0 modified (G930TUVU4CRF1)
EXTREMELY debloated! Nearly bare minimum, while still retaining hardware functionality. Eg, Samsung Gallery & Camera exist so we get 4k recording, and there aren't errors when we pull up the Gallery to edit, etc. Yes, this means NO Samsung or Android Pay. There could be more apps to debloat but Im out of time for now! (Please provide suggestions if interested)
Everything possible I replace Samsung with Google
Solid ROM. It was actually kind of slow for me, but I'm curious how this works for others.
Xposed is part of the guide, which will give you infinite customization & tweak-ability
If you hate Samsung SW and just want a solid working ROM with very few install options to get you up and running this is for you.
This will delete all of your data on the phone! (Not external SD card) This is the only way so don't ask. Backup your data!
Features:
Tmobile Wifi Calling works, along with Visual Voicemail & Mobile Hotspot
Many Aroma Installer app options
(Optional) KevinsFavorites option in Aroma. I'm not sure I'd recommend it due to my tastes. If you're looking for some good common apps tho, it includes: Amazon, AmazonMusic, AquaMail, Gmail, GoogleDrive, GoogleKeep, GooglePhoto, Hangouts, IFTTT, Pandora, RootBrowserClassic, TitaniumBackup, Uber, & Wink (If you install these and want to remove them later, use TitaniumBackup (or similiar) to uninstall
Root Features: See Downloads->Recommended Root Zip & say Thanks!
Debloated
De-Knoxed
Decrypted /data/ partition
OTAs disabled
Speed & Build Prop Tweaks
Dual speaker
Ruthless Launcher
Apps
AdAway
AOD Clock Face Themes
CPUSpy
DisableService
Kernel Adiutor
Samsung Video Editor and Trimmer
Xposed
Many more...

chmod -R 644 /system/priv-app/Messaging_SEP81 (Set permissions on apk file)
ls -l /system/priv-app/Messaging_SEP81 (Check permissions - Should be: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root - not sure what 1 & 2 is)
ls -l /system/priv-app | grep "Messaging" (Check permissions - Should be: drwxr-xr-x 2 root root)
reboot (Reboot device)
Changelog:
Version 3.1.32: First stable build

I have so many FW packages on my PC at this point, from so many places that I used while trying to get this to work, but I think it might be a package from one of your threads(?) Since I'm not exactly sure what you're asking regarding "Ufirm FW", I'll elaborate hoping that answers your question. (Tho I'm thinking you mean the U variation/unlocked. So based on these stock files below I guess the answer is no.) If you're question is really, "is it possible to get tmobile wifi calling to work on a U model #", then I'd have to really think about that. But at this point I don't have an answer. I can tell you a million dependencies about it tho! (I seriously have hundreds of revisions I made while testing, & notes. The symbolic & meta links in Aroma initially broke it, as I found out after a week or so of testing - wish I knew a bit more about them, and why they're all there, then I'd know what was wrong about them...)
High-level process:
1)Flash Base/Stock/Oreo Rom:
- AP_G930TUVU4CRF1.tar
- BL_G930TUVU4CRF1.tar
- CP_G930TUVU4CRF1.tar
- CSC_TMB_G930TTMB4CRF1.tar
- HEROQLTE_USA_VZW.pit
2)Root with your method
3)Flash Xposed framework & my ROM (it's a "start with stock then remove what we don't want" type of Aroma/Edify script)

If you choose the keep safestrap option during root the it will flash the system/vendor/etc/ fstab.qcom that totally removes data encryption but when that fstab.qcom is flashed it also requires a data wipe for phone to boot then when you install xposed you won’t see that error but either way you end up wiping data so your choice
Sent using some kind of device I modified
It works perfectly!!
I have not had any problems so far, here I leave you for the link to download and try those who are interested in VIPER4ANDROID: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1572ORe6TOrsRBuxWWBChH-WMnxkvcUjH/view?usp=drivesdk

You just have to flash it with Flashfire, but if you do not pull them, let me know Thank you very much !!! Kevin for the effort!
First, I want to thank you so much kevin71246. I tried your previous version as I was sick and tired of how sluggish my phone felt after the last two T-Mobile OTA updates. So far the experience on the phone has been great but I wanted to post about an issue I had with that version to see if anyone else has come across it or can figure out what is going on. The reason I am making this a reply in this thread instead of your other is because I will be flashing this update shortly but I want to get the ball rolling on the issue first.
I went through the whole process, installing the minimum with Google Apps, though I did restore everything previously installed once I log in with my Goggle Account. I am unsure if this contributed to the problem but I will not be restoring apps on the next try. It seems no matter what process I attempt to connect my Ticwatch E to my S7 the Wear OS app will not recognize it which causes the watch to get stuck in the setup phase, making it useless. This was after multiple and different connection attempts, resets, reboots and factory (watch only) restores. The watch will show up under bluetooth and create the initial connection but it will not stay connected. Anyone have any idea? Is this ROM missing something?
Edit: Mid way through the install, I wanted to note that I checked for the issue after doing the "Install Stock Oreo" but before Root and everything worked as it should. Wear OS sees the watch instantly and Bluetooth connects fine.
Edit: So I am a day into using the ROM and I am still having issues. While it will connect and work perfectly fine now, when ever I do a reboot of the phone the watch no longer connects. I will just get constant Bluetooth Connection Requests, every single time the watch tries to get data, and it never actually connects. To fix this I need to do a complete reset of the watch and do the whole setup process again. As you can imagine this is no good, expecting to wipe my watch every time my phone reboots makes it still almost useless.

I believe I know what the issue is, I'm testing a fix (for THIS ROM) as we speak. Stay tuned. Maybe tomorrow if I have time and it works I'll update the OP. BTW, this ROM and my other ROM are TOTALLY different. Thanks for the feedback!

What do you mean by this? "but if you do not pull them, let me know"
And tell me more about Viper4Android, and if it works solid for you on this ROM...then I'll consider adding it. Thanks!
New version, see change log in OP for details.
Yeah i.a give this a shot in a little. Do I need to root phone or can I just flash through Odin. Sorry not used to this locked bootloader crap..... s8crj1 are the last 6 digits of the software I'm on. I did receive the latest update will this effect me installing this. Sorry as I said not used to this locked bootloader crap.

If you choose the keep safestrap option during root the it will flash the system/vendor/etc/ fstab.qcom that totally removes data encryption but when that fstab.qcom is flashed it also requires a data wipe for phone to boot then when you install xposed you won’t see that error but either way you end up wiping data so your choice

Hi, why you have to flash this - HEROQLTE_USA_VZW.pit on 930t, is it ROM specified? if I do and don't then what are pro and cons?

since bootloader is locked you can't use TWRP so you have to use Flashfire to install this ROM, as you know flashfire required root so you have to setup the base per OP and then root the base then install the ROM and then root it again, read the first page I don't think you will get a instructions more detailed then his
Okay so I just realised I was posting comments on the old thread, my bad. Coming back to the question, can the boot animation be changed? I've messed with the qmg files in an attempt to replace the weird, nauseating rainbow animation but even after overwriting the latter, it persists. Looking forward to a reply kek

Nauseating rainbow? LOL. Sorry. This is much more of a general question though, that wouldn't exactly pertain to this ROM specifically. And given I don't have an answer, I'd try searching BootAnimation How-Tos to get this customized. The ONLY thing I did regarding this was replaced the existing files with the rainbow ones. That's it. Apologies in advance.
Just discovered an issue: RCS (Rich Communication Services / Chat) texts don't show up in Android Messages app. See "Known Issues" in OP for a solution. BTW I posted a new ROM version a few days back that allows many choices in Aroma Installer. Make sure to pick Samsung Messages (instead of Google), so you get RCS chat text messages!
