Click Here to download
Hi , everyone.
This tool is for you to make an CWM update zip without pain...
The function of this tool is to help you guys add apks into /system/app and /data/app
You can edit the updater-script to extend the function of this tool . Enjoy
Usage: (Make sure you have java runtime installed already, if not just do so before going further steps)
So simple.
1) Just extract the tool to c:\
2) browse to c:\apk_customized_install\ folder
place apk(s) into /data/app/ or /system/app/ folder, depends on your need
(The difference between these two folder is if you put apks in /system/app/ folder you can't uninstall apks through app manager. you need root uninstaller to do so instead.)
3) run the batch file
4) You have your signed CWM update zip file under c:\apk_customized_install\ folder
5) Copy to sdcard
6) Boot into cwm recovery and flash it

Screen Shots:
Thanks bjdanny. This is an excellent ROM, great improvement over the 0713 firmware.
Wifi is MUCH BETTER - better strength, no problem with WPA2 anymore.
Screen transition is noticeably smoother with no jerky movement, but not by a wide margin. I don't have to use TouchScreenTune anymore. Browser scrolling is still slightly jerky (I use Dolphin).
I still cannot get my BT keyboard to work - just like the 0713 ROM, there is no problem with pairing the device. However, nothing happens when I type on the keyboard. I don't use BT headphone therefore I cannot test.
Just like previous firmwares, the GPS can only pick up 2 satellites here in Canada - I used wifi to assist GPS search, and I use FasterFix to change the NTP server to "North America" but has no effect. I understand that this is a Chinese phone and it had been tuned to Asia.
Front and back cameras work fine.
I use MX player which can play to up 720p H2.64 videos stored in the memory card. MX player has hardware support which seems to work. 1080p videos won't show anything on the screen.
I intend to use the X710D as a mini tablet, therefore web browsing is a major requirement. Browsing of regular webpages is really fast. However, I am not happy about the Flash streaming video performance in the web browser (NOT using YouTube app) - if you use the last Flash version for ICS, it cannot play in full screen. I found an older version for ICS which works OK, but it can only play youtube videos at up to 480p resolution (and it may also stutter with some 480p videos). The audio and video may be out of sync. By comparison, my "old" Galaxy Tab P1000 can play streaming Flash videos in the browser smoothly in at least 720p resolution (even some 1080p), and it has a higher screen resolution (1024x600). I know Flash on Android is always buggy and is on the way out, but it will be some time before html5 is perfected and becomes the norm.
BTW the comment about Flash has nothing to do with bjdanny or his ROM. I think that you did not include Adobe Flash player in your ROM. If anyone needs it, here it is:
http://www.iapktop.com/adobe-flash-player-11-1-111-10-android-4-x.html
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
P.S. I notice that the external SD card has been renamed to "sdcard2". This causes problems in some apps eg. Dolphin browser: when I try to make a download folder there, the app says the folder name has illegal characters. Maybe the future ROMs should call the external sd card something like "extsd"?

Thanks slim_thumb for using my ROM ... I can't fix the booth keyboard problem right now because i don't have one...As for 1080p video playback display black screen .try using mobo player with software rendering ...
I will make a gps fix for North America ..
I have done several test on Flash streaming video and can play very smoothly ... i suggest you try play with home wifi in order to find out wether is problem of the rom or the network speed..
Actually samsung has been doing very well on web browsing optimization, because i have a i9003 before...that's why i know that...
I have tested 1080p video flash stream on youtube with youtube app and stock web browser .The result is quite nice...both through wifi and 3g .
My suggestion for you is to play 1080p videos on youtube with stock browser through wifi at home or somewhere with strong 3g signal...
I will release flash-able update to add flash player onto the rom...soon thanks for remind.
I am now working on 2.5 GB phone storage for my rom now...so most of the problems hopefully will be fixed in coming release...Of course, more tweaks and optimizations are coming up as well ...
I flashed your rom last night and im currently putting it through its paces. So far so good. Very fast and respsonsive
Keep up the good work and keep the updates coming :good:
Thanks for the feedback bjdanny.
The streaming Flash video problem is not network related. I use it at home on wifi (15 Mbps) and I have never use it on 3G because I never intend to use it as a phone.
I know a lot of the "problems" are hardware related and they were there in the previous firmware versions. I am very happy with the improvements you've made.
Thank you for your hard work and looking forward to future versions of your ROM! I posted in another X710D thread here in XDA to let people know you developed a custom ROM.
downloading this now, cant wait!!!
i dont want to sound like a spoilt child, but could you port miui to this phone? it will be perfect for this phone

My front camera has always worked.
If your front camera does not work in every version of firmware you tried, could this be a hardware problem afterall?
Have you tried camera apps such as Vignette?
if the ffc works in official rom but not in my rom then i dont know what the problem is because i have tested without problem and so far no one who use my rom say that you may try use 3 party cam app to test the ffc
Sent from my X710d using xda premium
Now, that my FFC is finally working, i am up to new Roms.
flashed this Rom yesterday and everything seems to be in good condition.

I flashed your ROM last night, I'm still testing it, but I wanted to know how did you root your phone? I used the root procedure posted by 'jaw2floor' based on the 07/06/2012 at the beginning of the thread but it has the external SD problem, so then I follow the procedure posted by 'Ratzenberger' to get around the SD problem by flashing just the 07/13/2012;

HEY FOLKS! I have great news! After flashing the X810d with this tutorial, it was corrupting the memory card. Then I flashed the original recovery, boot.img + original preloader and original MBR from the original ROM of X710d (20120410_e1108_v73_jbl1). WORKS LIKE A CHARM!!!! Now the device continues WITH root ACCESS and memory card is working perfectly! This will also work with devices X710d too.
The problems i'm having are;
1) Bluetooth to my Plantronics 510 headset works OK when I'm actually talking on it, but if i'm not in a call and the headset is in standby mode it keeps disconnecting and re-connecting every 2 or 3 minutes , driving me crazy!
Bluetooth to my Sennheiser MM450 headset works OK, but 50% of the time when connecting, it won't connect and the phone just shows "Connecting..." and the Bluetooth is gone off into never-never land (BlueTooth will turnoff but won't turn back on) an I have to remove the battery to correct the problem , driving me crazy 2!
2) WiFi won't connect to corporate enterprise wifi use WPA/WPA2 I get "Authentication Problem", or 5GHz networks.
I wonder if what i'm going thru to root is overriding your changes? Do you have a better way to root?
If I can get these two problems fixed the phone would be great, but if not I may have to dump it I really need my Bluetooth, and having to always remove the battery is not cutting it for me! Any help would be appreciated .

I rooted the phone by extracting the rom's boot.img and add su binary & busybox to kernel's bin and xbin folder and put superuser.apk into /system/app
actually you can extract my rom and just flash the boot.img with flashtool i provided on 1st floor to root the phone ...only if you have cwm recovery flashed already
actually using my boot.img not only give you root access right but init.d support and also some dns and sd card tweaks..
i Included some tweaks in my boot.img ...you can check /system/init.rc to check what i have added ...
The best way to solve your problem is either flashing offical rom with my boot.img or simply flash my rom...
Don't ever try to flash rom wasn't built for your phone ...you are always on risks...
If you use my rom ...WPA/WPA2 works perfect. and wifi speed is improved too ..as for the bluetooth problem ....I am currently don't have a booth headset to test with...but i will get one soon...

So what about the preloader, MBR, Recovery, and logo? Do I need these also for the flashtool, and if so can I use the ones from the 07/13/2012, Do you have the official 09/02/2012 rom that I can get them from? Appreciate the help.

Unfortunately you can no longer download the firmware it says the "The allotted time to download the file has expired and file is no longer available", Can you please uploaded it for people to get?
I just wanted to say that I was really impressed by trying the Paranoid Android 2.55 ROM pa_p6800-2.55-17NOV2012-053308a, with Gapps package gapps-jb-20121011-signed.
IT IS A TOTAL AWESOME UPGRADE from official Stock Rom Ice Scream Sandwhich second phase. That's why I decided to make it easier for all the other owners of this tablet to just upgrade their tablet with this ROM pacakge.
So here is what I did with TWRP recovery:
1. Wipe Cache
2. Wipe Dalvik Cache
3. Wipe (Factory Reset)
4. Then I made a FULL BACKUP.
5. Then I decided to upload that backup on Torrents so everyone else may upgrade their tablet with a simple TWRP recovery.
Since I am still not permitted to write on the Development forum I would really like to know the following:
1. Should this Backup Recovery for my P6800 work on the same model of the Tablet of other people without problems? In other words, does this recovery work only for MY device or it should work on similar devices?
2. I am not sure who is the author who deserves true credit for this ROM, but I have been seeing the name Daniel quite a bit. AndroguideFr is saying it's not his work. Please provide me the list of people who should take the credit for this before I upload the torrent with the instructions.
Finally tell me if it's a good idea, what you think about it, do you have any advice for me? Do you think this should work?
Instructions & Torrent
The torrent link: Since I still can't post links you can just search for "Super Galaxy Tab 7.lly Bean Upgrade" on the pirate bay website.
The following is the instructions I provided with the torrent. I would be glad if you tell me what you think about it:
This torrent is ONLY for those who own the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 with Wifi & 3G (GT-P6800). Be warned that the instructions provided here will not work on any other device or model.
Noob Definitions:
ROM means FIRMWARE or DEVICE SOFTWARE
BRICK means Phone/Tablet Getting Stuck without being able to boot.
So are you happy with your Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 tablet Stock ROM (firmware)? In other words, are you happy with the original software the device came by? If you are not, there is good news here. I have tried my best to make it as easy as possible to upgrade your Tablet with the best ROM I have come across for this tablet, which is Paranoid Android version 2.55 with Android Jelly Bean 4.1.2.
Why I am recommending this ROM and why I am doing this? Simple, I have tried all previous versions of Paranoid Android ROM for this device and they were all great but with minor to major bugs. This is the only ROM that I have found to be:
1. Super Fast. It consumes only an average of 120 megabytes of your internal tablet memory and all Samsung bloatware is removed by default.
2. Stable. I haven't come across any problems with it up till now and the smoothness of the graphics and device responsivity is really amazing.
3. Battery Saver. All Paranoid Android Jelly Bean ROMs I have tried save a great deal of battery power. You will notice at least double battery standby time switching from the stock IceCream Sandwich.
4. Of course WiFi & GPS are now tested and working.
I have not tested this ROM for more than a few days, however considering all the progress I have been seeing I expect only very few bugs that I would wholeheartedly sacrifice for this great experience on my tablet. The instructions include a full backup of your existing Data/ROM so just in case you don't like your new upgrade you should be easily able to recover your previous ROM/Data as they were before.
Introduction:
- I have made the hard work so you don't have to do it yourself to upgrade your tablet. I followed all the online instructions to install the following ROM file "pa_p6800-2.55-17NOV2012-053308a" with this Google Apps package "gapps-jb-20121011-signed" on the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7, and then I had reset my device (factory reset) and took a FULL BACKUP with a recovery software called TWRP.
- This torrent is the FULL BACKUP recovery made by TWRP and once you install (flash) the TWRP recovery software on your device you will be able to take this BACKUP and recover it on your own device without problems. So here are the detailed instructions:
BE WARNED:
1. Before beginning make sure to charge your device battery to above 80% !! Losing power during recovery may BRICK your tablet.
2. I repeat: This torrent is ONLY for those who own the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 with Wifi & 3G (GT-P6800). The instructions provided here will not work on any other device or model.
3. The instructions provided here are accurate to the best of my ability and I will help you upgrade your tablet by replying to your comments if you had any problems BUT STILL you will do this at your own risk and I'm not responsible for any data you may lose or tablet you may brick.
4. Please read the instructions in the given order and do exactly as mentioned to avoid any problems. Should any questions arise just raise your hand and ask before continuing. It's better to be safe than sorry.
5. Your Tablet must be ROOTED for being able to install TWRP recovery given the following instructions if it's not rooted try following this link before continuing further: (link provided)
In case this link doesn't work you will find many tutorials online on how to ROOT your Galaxy Tab 7.7 just Google it and good luck, then come back here.
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Objective: Preparing Extracted Data
After completing torrent download extract the file "SamsungGT_7.7_Custom_ROM.rar" with WinRar on your PC on your prefered location and leave it there until required.
2. Objective: Installing TWRP Recovery on Tablet
Open Google Play market on your Galaxy Tab search, download and install the GooManager application. Open it, and look for "Flash ROMS", a message will pop-up telling you "IN ORDER TO USE THIS FEATURE YOU MUST HAVE AN OPENRECOVERYSCRIPT COMPATIBLE RECOVERY", just choose "Try to find one for me". This should download the TWRP recovery software and automatically flash your device you will see a pop-up message saying "TWRP recovery is installed successfully". If your device is not ROOTED the GooManager application will not have the privilage to FLASH your ROM. If your tablet is not rooted just quit this tutorial, search for online Tutorials on how to root your Tablet on Google and come back again.
3. Objective: Transfer Recovery Backup onto Tablet
OK, now you have to copy the TWRP folder you just downloaded through this torrent onto the EXTERNAL SDCard of your Samsung Galaxy Tab. To do that, just connect your device to the computer with its USB cable and in a minute or 2 you should be able to see your Device "GT-P6800" under Portable Devices (if you are Windows 7) or perhaps "Removeable Device" (if you are on Windows XP). Just make sure that you copy the extracted TWRP folder on your external storage (SD Card) on your Galaxy Tab. If you did not see your external drives on My Computer you might need to install Samsung Kies Drivers so your tablet is recognized on Windows.
4. Objective: Boot Into Recovery Mode
Now you have the TWRP recovery software flashed on your device and the recovery Backup itself on the external storage. The next step is to Power Off your Galaxy Tab completely, then Press the Power Button and hold on together with the Volume UP (+) button. Once you see the Samsung Galaxy Tab logo remove your finger from the Power button and you should see TEAMWIN with blue background and you will be in Recovery Mode.
5. Objective: Full Backup of Existing Data
Once you are in the TWRP recovery screen just touch on the "Backup" button to make a full backup of your current ROM & Data so in case anything went wrong you can recover all your data later with no problems. Make sure that "System", "Data", "Boot", "Recovery" & "Cache" checkboxes are checked and then choose the radio button "Using Internal Storage" or "External Storage" depending where you have more space (external storage is recommended). Then Swipe the arrow on the left to the right to Backup your device.
6. Objective: Full Recovery of New ROM Package
After successful backup, touch on the home button at the top of the screen and touch "Restore" button so you can now install the New ROM recovery you downloaded on your external storage. You will see 2 radio buttons one is "Using external SD" and the other "Using internal Storage". Since you put your recovery on external storage just leave the radio button checked on "Using external SD" and you should see the "FRESHBACKUP" recovery folder, touch on it. In the next screen make sure that the "System", "Data", "Boot", & "Cache" checkboxes ARE CHECKED. Considering you have made all the steps exactly as mentioned so far Swipe the left arrow from LEFT TO RIGHT to recover your tablet into the new ROM. Wait until all the recovery steps are finished indicating that all is successful. You will find a button to "Reboot System" or similar.
7. Objective: Be Patient, It's Happening
Once you reboot you will notice IT WILL TAKE SOME TIME AT FIRST don't panic, just leave it finish what it is doing for as long as 10 minutes. You will find the "Android is Upgrading" pop-up optimizing your applications, that is totally normal. Then finish all the step-by-step instructions given on the screen in regards to your Google Account and Good Job You are now enjoying Paranoid Android 2.55 with Jelly Bean 4.1.2. You can customize it as you wish from the settings.
Troubleshooting:
In case you had any problems in Steps 6 & 7 or you didn't like the new recovered ROM just go to Step 4 (boot into recovery mode) and recover your original data you backed up in Step 5.
Application Tips: The following are my favorite must have applications:
1. SwiftKey Keyboard is a great keyboard that reduces typing errors through predictions and learns a great deal about your your own choice of words.
2. Pattrn is a very good application for simple backgrounds.
3. Flipboard & News360 great tablet apps for enjoying news in an intuitive interface.
4. Facebook, Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, & YouTube app.
5. ES File Explorer & File Manager.
6. Kobo Ebooks.
7. Firefox & Dolphin Browsers.
8. Evernote (Great Cloud based Notes - Never lose your important notes).
9. Bluetooth File Transfer.
10. Juicy Defender (Battery Saving App).
11. Market Access App (you will not find this on Google Play Market. Google it and once installed you can download apps from market not restricted by Country).
12. TapaTalk (Great forum-ing experience for Android).
13. Yahoo Weather (the most simple widget for Weather Info)
14. WordWeb dictionary (great free dictionary).
15. MX Player & ArmV7 process codec package (very good media player).
16. Dr. Web Light antivirus (The lightest antivirus for android with very high detection rates).
17. WiFi Analyzer (great for deciding on which Channel to put your WiFi router so you have the highest reception).
18. CamCard (Scans your business cards and automatically fills-in to your contact list).
19. Adobe Flash Player (It is no longer available in Google Play but you can find it in online tutorials on Google, it's a must for some websites to work).
If you have any inquiries just comment on the torrent and I will respond, otherwise send an email on [email protected] Torrent commenting is more recommended though!
Can you please post a youtube video of the rom

Only problem with Paranoid is that it is based on CM and there are many know issues. My biggest issue is the video codecs. The devs will not fix this and any videos I have that play in ICS will not play in any ROM based on CM. Would love to have a Jelly Bean ROM but with some many know issues I am happy with ICS until an official update comes out, if it ever does.

I haven't faced any problems with the following apps:
MX Player
MX PLAYER ARMv7 codecs
Everything works with me with those. Just tell me what are you trying to play maybe I never tried your formats.

I am not sure about that but this build is acclaimed to be WiFi and GPS fix.

I suggest that you guys give a try to this Rom because the performance versus feature boost makes the ICS stock Rom look like an ancient slow tablet. The delay of opening the Phone app is highly reduced and I rarely ever lag on keyboard.
Quick question befour i flash this rom is otg working or not
Thanks

Sorry what is OTG? Ok I checked on Amazon and I guess I have never used this device. But the usb connection to the computer is working as expected normally.
Secondly, why do you have to take a risk in flashing a ROM? Take a full backup recovery of your existing configuration, should anything go wrong you can revert back so easily without losing anything. Let me know if you need any help.

Obtained by downloading the torrent and tried it thru utorrent to download but not possible to download this v2.55. Why?
You mean there are no seeders? If that is the case I will upload the file on skydrive account and share the link with you as soon as I am home.

dude... just download from official thread and flash it using cwm...
Finally, I found and flashed with it.
My first impression is positive. Thanks for your suggestion.
GPS and all other HWs are working..
But the Paranoid settings under Settings are not working and not adjustable..
Which version of gapps did you use? What exactly is not working in paranoid settings?

that's what i did yesterday, not sure about all this mumbo jumbo extra steps this guy is posting.
downloaded 2.55 - was coming from stock so went into CWM, flashed PA 2.55, rebooted into recovery, then wiped cache, dalvik and did factory reset, then rebooted into recovery and flashed PA 2.55 again.
booted up, rebooted into recovery and flashed gapps.
easy peasy.
I didn't try changing that the default is fine for me. I guess you can find better help in the development forum on this issue.

"I haven't faced any problems with the following apps:

All the movies I have are either straight digital copies or dvd rips, they have not been converted into anything. They play fine in ICS but on any CM based ROM they don't, no matter what video player I used. Again it all has to do with the the missing codecs of ICS. I don't want to waste my time converting all my movies just because the ROM does not support them.

If you don't provide the extension of the files, or the codecs of the type of files that you are trying to play I believe I cannot help you. But I am still telling you that I haven't faced any problems trying to play any kind of video file up till now.
how can i enable logcat.....i have put jellyblastv3 in samsung galaxy y.....can anyone help me out......i m not able to log..... in eclipse and hence facing problems in developing.....any help is appreciated............
Well, first step is to enable android debugging under the developer section in settings. You might need to enable the developer section by repeatedly tapping the build version in the about section.
Another reason would be that logging is disabled at your rom. Try to open a file manager and see whether there's file at the /system/etc/init.d/ folder or not
how to put jellyblastv3 to galaxy y?
i have samsung galaxy y,it has gingerbed 2.3.6 on it..but i came to know about jellyblastv3 in xda and got interested on geeting it to my phone..i seen the procedure but i have a doubt that what is the precautions i should take before going to do what is in procedure so that i can get my gingerbed back if i mess up in middle of installion or if i dislike it after installing it..please give me the complete information like odds that i may face during installing how to overcome etc..since i am a beginner and never tried it before i am asking this all..hope you guys help me to learn..thanks in advance:fingers-crossed:

Gotta get this working!
Hello everyone, I'm new to this forum, although I have spend a big amount of time here (before registering), reading through posts about customizing ROMs, etc.
First things first:
- I have a Samsung Galaxy Core Plus G350 (or G3500 whatever suites you), and I would like to customize it's stock ROM, no rooting involved. I did manage to customize, or I should say minimize, my stock ROM for my Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 (S7710), rooted it, changed lot's of things, just to get rid off unwanted apps, services and maximize performance. And that worked out pretty well .
Being I'm a guy who likes things to be neat (I'll get to that in a sec ), and pretty much as close to factory build as it can be, I'm not trying to do anything flashy with my G350, just want to remove stupid apps and that's it.
When I said neat, I meant Odin flashing ROM neat. I prefer it to CWM Rom installing technique (although this is clean as well, one would have to have a memory card, memory card reader (or working USB drivers if one has to transfer files directly to the phone), CWM Recovery Firmware (no support for G350), and compatible Custom ROM...you get the picture, not much of a trouble, but a hassle if some of the components are missing....Odin flashing... clean and easy, anyone can use it.
My problem is:
After completing all modification, my system.img file appears with a lock, when I compile it. I'm not sure about the memory allocation, I did calculated it correctly ( i hope ) but that shouldn't be a problem, my main problem is the stupid lock on system.img file icon, before I compress everything to tar and checksum it. Ofc the flashing fails and my best guess its because of that lock in the icon, and Odin stops on system.img file. Does anyone know why is this happening, I didn't have any issues with Xcover's ROM packing, every time I finish with the modification in Xcover system.img file, unmount the file, and everything is fine. Even the flashing part.
I'm packing everything in Ubuntu 14.04 ...I am familiar with linux base systems but I ain't a wiz and flashing in Win 7.
Does anyone know the solution to this, I'm doing something wrong for sure, or I'm overlooking something, any help is very welcome.
Sorry for this extensive text and bad English (not my native language), I figured someone would appreciate some info.
Best regards.

As far as I know, the lock shows, that you don't have the write permission on this file
