So, Samsung makes the Tab S2 with a 64 bit processor, and uses a 32 bit kernel. What's involved in converting a rom, even the stock touchwiz rom, to 64 bit? Can it be done or are we hardware locked to 32bit?

My question is as follows. I have a Tab S2 9.7 with OJ4 and Android 5.0.2. I have installed TWRP on it and also rooted the Tab.
But now, I wish to flash a new rom on this tab, but how should I do that, do I need a new kernel, do I need another android version, what custom rom is adviced?
In the roms here, I see they are usually for OH7 with android 5.1.1
So please, is there somewhere a step-by-step "guide" to flash a new custom rom on the above mentioned Tab S2,
Many thanks in advance for any help!
Looking in development section there is not much custom ROMS for T81*? Tab s2 9.7 don't tell much and if you are on OJ4 bootloader I would recommend upgrading it to 5.1.1 one by just flashing firmware with Odin, you won't be able to downgrade I guess. The worst part about tab s2 it's cpu and the lack of custom ROMS because of samsung being a prick.
Hi,
Is there a way to root the new upgraded Tab s2 T819N or the T813N?
Just received it today and want to root but can't find not much on these new tab s2's
Thanks.
I don't have the device (yet), but the new Snapdragons are going to be rootable with Chainfire SuperSU zip when a custom recovery like TWRP is available.
The Galaxy A9 Pro has almost the same specs as the the new Tab S2: Same CPU/Chipset and same Android Version out-of-the-box (Marshmallow). I've seen a video on Youtube on how to root the Galaxy A9 Pro and maybe, just maybe, the TWRP for it is compatible with the newer versions of the Tab S2. Feel free to try at your own risk. I would risk it by myself, but as I've said, I don't have the device yet.
quite a challenge, any chance to brick the device ?
or just wait till a new custom recovery is out?

Hi Everyone,
Since Samsung have released the kernel sources and we finally have root, is anyone working/planning to work on making a custom kernel?
I'm really wondering if the Exynos 9820 can be overclocked/optimised to match the Snapdragon variant.
How difficult would it be to port an official Samsung Rom from a newer tablet (Tab 5e for instance) to the Tab S2? Are the necessary source files even available?
