Yes please! I don't really listen to music on my 817T but that would surely change if it were Viperized! There's a permissive kernel for your variant, isn't there? Have you done any experimentation?

Yes, V4A works great on the Tab S2.
There just is some "hacking" necessary - just follow these instructions, although they're originally for the S6, they work as well on our device:

I skimmed through the forums but couldn't really find any kernels for my device. I myself listen to music pretty much all the time and V4A just give the sound that touch that i really need to fully enjoy it!

I tried that method and another one but haven't had much luck getting it up and running unfortunately I will try that method again later and check back Btw could it have anything to do with me not using titanium backup to freeze adapt sound and sound alive? I've been using App Quarantine

Use Titanium Backup and EXACTLY do what's in the instructions. If you don't, don't whine that it doesn't work.

Okay I have been doing everything in the guide and triple checked. Did everything in order and freezed the apps in titanium backup but still can't get it to work
May I ask which version of Android you're running? I'm running 5.0.2 myself

5.1.1.

I thought so. I have the SM-T815 RUNNING 5.0.2. It would seem that my model havent received the 5.1.1 update :/

Simply take one of the 5.1.1 stock ROMs available on the Internet. Will work just fine regardless of region.

5.1.1 hasn't been released for any t815 yet as far as I'm concerned and if I flash the t810 version I will lose Sim card function. Guess I will just wait for an official 5.1.1 update from Samsung and try again then.

It worked a treat, syncing anyway All the APK's installed...
Although the base was not stable enough, I was getting the random reboots quite often.. So I couldnt test notifications..
I dont see why they wouldnt come through tho, considering all the APK's installed fine.

Um to plead ignorant, im running the Omega rom V18 with an 9505 S4, will look into the Knox bootloader i guess?

Knox bootloader was included in one of the firmware updates by Samsung, some dev's removed it.. others ignored it so it might of been flashed on your phone.
Personally I manually updated my i9505 so I have the new bootloader, although my experience with GE KitKat was crap.
Reason why I ask, users on the OLD bootloader have a much stable experience with GE KitKat...
EDIT: Knox implements a whole bunch of other crap also, like a permanent binary counter you cant reset for warranty purposes or whatever etc. I suggest you read up on it.

Nope restored back to Omega, this Rom is very buggy plus only parts of the Gear manager works, no notifications, cant lock the phone with the gear.
Lots of little things
I was using danvdh's 4.4.2 rom and it was rock solid but ended up going back to darthstalker X (4.3) because of the gear. Gear manager installed, all of the 20 apps installed, but the notifications never synced while on 4.4. I'm sure I could have kept tinkering with things, but I figured I'd go to something that I knew was working properly. I've got no knox thank god, but flashed the MK2 modem on there because of the drops with the prior modem.
Dan's 4.4.2 rom + xposed + a syncing gear would be delightful though. Very happy with DS X albeit that the BT tethering does not work properly

You flashed/stocked back to odin ne3 and then again flashed the rom. is this time wifi working ?
Correct and yes WiFi is working. The only issue is that if you want to turn off or reboot your phone, you have to turn off WiFi first, else it does not work properly when you not back up. However, even if you forget to do that little trick, a hot reboot fixes Wi-Fi. Otherwise, there aren't any issues with WiFi or in general

I flashed this rom because I can't stand touchwiz (stock Samsung); I really wanted the look and feel of AOSP/stock android. The battery life isn't as good as stock with Galaxy Mod Ultimate (you can still use it, it's just the improvement isn't as noticeable). I'm not quite sure what you mean by gesture? This is an AOSP-style rom so all of Samsung's gimmicky little add-ins such as (but not limited to) air gesture, smart screen, all share, s-beam, s-voice, etc. are not present at all. I think it really comes down to a matter of preference. I have/had around a dozen devices, not all Samsung, and most are running cyanogenmod or something based off of it. Therefore I wanted this rom since it's the closest to cm we're going to get with a locked bootloader. If you like the look and feel of touchwiz or all the features Samsung adds in, or if you're super concerned about battery life, you might want to stick with stock. (Don't let the battery life be the only deciding factor, it's not that bad).

Honestly its a very efficient rom, most things seem to work however randomly for me some apps will stop working, however I believe that to be an app problem not a rom problem. I treat it as a sort of bare essentials rom, if you want a small rom then its worth it. I've installed viper4android and other root apps and those also work perfectly, I believed i flashed it about a week ago and everything is fine

CM12 is great, but I miss Xposed.

Since Xposed is only compatible with ARM7 phones on Lollipop I think I will flash the latest stock again which is 4.4.2 for my klte. With Xprivacy there is no problem with security I guess? BubbleUPNP has a module for Xposed that lets me stream audio from phone to Chromecast for apps without Chromecast support.

Real happy for you, but... what's the point of this post. We know that Xposed doesn't work (is in alpha stage) on lollipop and we also know the module's function. I don't get why you've made this thread in the first place
Understand. Got the phone yesterday, and was eager to write something I guess.

Imho 4.4.2 is better than lollipop for now. Most mods here aren't updated for lollipop plus xposed is working there and everything is black instead of the ugly white in 5.0. I got my S5 at the end of January and am real happy with it. Not a single problem so far Check my signature to see which is the latest ROM for the G900F. I also highly recommend you to try the kernel I'm on, it's awesome!

Thank you so much. Will be fun to try it out. Knew Xposed supported Lollipop, but had no idea that it was only for ARM7 devices until yesterday That doesn't matter now that I know how bad it performs in Lollipop. I prefer the GUI in KitKat over Lollipop. It's too polished in Lollipop., and I dislike white too. Great to learn that it's a great phone. So far I love it too.
Spent many hours yesterday to get it working with Windows, figuring out how to root and install rescue and trying out roms. Takes some time to getting into it when getting a new phone, and I don't miss the Sony Xperia Acro S.
If you get stuck in bootloop while reverting back to kitkat, flash kitkat modem and baseband and then try flashing the ROM itself. But i think with Odin you just flash PDA (AP) and that's it. Took me a week until i had my phone completely the way i want it xD

Thank you for the help. I have installed 4.4.2 with Odin already, and it went fine luckily. Got the rom from Sammobiles.
Great toy this with so many options. Not used to that with my former phone. Will be fun.
Is the 09.21.14 kernel better than the latest?

If you like to control your TV or air-conditioning and stuff with your phone's infrared blaster, then yes it's better. Latest one doesn't have IR blaster working so you can't control anything with Smart Remote. Technically, latest one built on Samsung's official sources is the 21.09.2014 one. Only issue is with the camera. Sometimes when you open it there are some weird colored lines inside and it lags. Toggling HDR on/off fixes it until you start it up again.
Thanks for the info. Running the latest and cannot connect to my WiFi with it. Got a backup of stock luckily.
I had to forsake Xposed to follow the development of CM. 4.4.2 works fine, but following the forefront of the development was hard to resist.

[MOD][5/22/2015][ATT] - Tether hack - OE2 build

This allows those on the old plan to still utilize tether for free.

Make sure you are rooted with PinPong Root Beta 6 or higher.
Oh and hit thanks!

Just flashed. I'm now in a boot loop And have no idea how to stop it and turn off the phone, since we can't pull the battery.

Take the OTA since your going to Odin back anyways. This OE2 OTA is safe.
I was just about to re-flash everything on my Verizon phone to see what was up but this just saved me a lot of time.

Your Welcome!
I originally thought this was going to be built into CleanROM 1.1, but found out that it wasn't. I flashed this tether hack with FlashFire Free v0.18 (released on May 2, 2015) into CleanROM 1.1 and it works with my AT&T unlimited data plan. I wasn't going to go backwards with my Galaxy S6 when Nexus 5 I previously had was allowing me to tether freely. Tested and thanks, it works. =]
Will this mod work on the tmobile Gs6? Thanks In advance!!!

Thnak you so much for this valuable contribution to our community!!
One weird thing I've noticed with this.... On your Rom, CleanRom, when I leave the initial wifi my phone was set up with and try to add another wifi (at work for example), the wifi tab under settings is blank. I've gone back and forth between roms, and oddly enough, the deodexed roms floating around don't have this problem. There is a quick work around in the appstore, wifi manager, that when opened shows the available networks and allows you to connect to them, so it's no big deal. Since I'm back on CleanRom, and it happened again, I thought I'd mention it.
Fantastic!!! Love it...using it on my ATT S6 Edge now!

You gain google dialer, google contacts, google assistant, xposed, full backups, identifying wakelocks, custom kernels and systemwide ad-blocking to name a few big things you can do just on rooted oxygenOS.
Just root it, the sooner, the better.
If you decide to do it later on, you'll have to backup everything since unlocking the bootloader implies wiping the data.
