.::IMPORTANT PLEASE READ THIS FIRST!::.
First: Before you start questioning and posting here, please do understand that you need to carefully read all these instruction below, not just first post (OP), but following several posts (#2,#3, #4, etc.) these posts are also part of this OP post. It is very very critical to read and have clear understanding how version of this ROM works, and how it can be customized, failure to not read all the instructions and not able to follow, you will get lost, most likely you will soft-brick your device.
Second: This is fully deodexed, pre-rooted with SuperSU included, KNOXless Stock Touchwiz ROM. If you looking for debloated 5.1.1 ROM, you may check @Zaphodspeaks 's ROM thread for debloated Stock Touchwiz 5.1.1 ROM if that's your thing. This ROM comes several ported apps from Galaxy Tab S2 and Galaxy Tab A. All these apps ported from their lollipop firmwares, ported, re-sized to fit our screen, and done many modifications all the way down to app smali files.
And lastly: Just because I put out a ROM here in Galaxy Tab 4 ROM thread, it does NOT mean I am your full-time tech support. Remember that this is provided as free of use, and if you are taking a custom ROM, Devs assume that you know what you are doing and have basic knowledge of doing so. Needless to say, if your tablet still under warranty, flashing custom ROMs voids your warranty. XDA is community driven forum, if you stuck, you can always ask here, and also using search box in XDA is your best friend.
Now the fun part
.:REREQUISITES::.
Of course, a brain would help
Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 - SM-T330NU
PhilzTouch Recovery Installed - download @moonbutt74's PhilzTouch Recovery - Please note that I won't be supporting different custom recovery!
ROM File (JazzROM For Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 (5.1.1) [SM-T330NU] - See download section below)
Basic knowledge of what you're doing! (such as; how to flash a ROM, able to do nandroid backup/restore, know how to copy files to system and know how to give proper permission to files and app under root/system folder ..etc)

.::INSTALL INSTRUCTION (CLEAN INSTALL)::.
Even if you are on V2.1, For V3.X, Full Wipe is still OBLIGATORY for proper installation! No dirty flash over v2.1!!
*Warning!: You need to follow these instruction step by step, if you do NOT, you will have problem!*
1. First thing first; Have you made full nandroid backup yet? if not, this is very good time to do it now.
2. Download JazzROM For Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 (5.1.1) [SM-T330NU] to your device's internal or microSD card that you can easily find it for flashing later on.
3. Reboot into PhilzTouch CWM Recovery
4. Do Factory Reset first in PhilzTouch recovery, and then also do the " install new ROM" option in PhilzTouch Recovery.
5. Go back and do Wipe Cache and also do Wipe Dalvik/Art too in PhilzTouch recovery - just to be safe side.
6. Flash JazzROM For Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 (5.1.1) [SM-T330NU] ROM, and once it is done, click back key in recovery, and select reboot your system.
8. This is lollipop - first reboot seems like taking forever, but be patient here, you have to wait 15 min to 20 mins.
9. After it finishes the reboot, you may go thru your normal tablet setup (wifi, google account, Samsung account, time setup, etc).
10. After you done with step 9, you can now jump to next posts (post#2, 3, etc) below for additional setup and customization of the JazzROM.
.::KNOWN ISSUES/LIMITATIONS::.
This ROM is quite stable for daily drive, but like all custom ROMs, there's always some small issues and limitations, which I am NOT considering as big showstoppers:
Smart Manager works perfectly fine, but when you check storage and ram detail button in the app, it FCs, the reason is that this is from Tab S2 port, which is still based on 5.0.2, thus looking for 5.0.2 settings activities and our device is 5.1.1. Once 5.1.1 firmware available for Tab S2/Tab A, I will back ported our device again. So expect a fix for it - Fixed.
ToolBox has 12 apps limitation, that's how many apps you can able to add, and it is limited. Do not try to add more than, that it will crash your tablet. This is NOT a bug, just limitation of ToolBox.
As mentioned above, some ported apps you may see some little cosmetic imperfection in these ported apps, but consider that ported apps has 4:3 aspect screen ratio (Tab S2 / Tab A), while this tablet has 16:9 aspect screen ratio, so every effort being made to make it fit our tablet screen.
TouchWiz Launcher's A-Z option sorting is not included in original app (go check it out on Galaxy Tab A's and you will see it does not have A-Z sorting), Samsung decided to enable A-Z sorting in some of newest TouchWiz Home launcher, while it disabled in some others. So I went ahead and modified launcher.smali file to enable it. A-Z option for sorting works fine, but if you keep trying several times, it may not sort it correctly on landscape. Before you start asking that, remember that even Samsung disabled this feature, so don't complain it, take it as it is.
.::WHAT NOT TO EXPECT::.
Frequent updates.
Fancy Aramo installations (who got time for it!?).
Bugs free experiences.
Problems will be solved quickly/ultimately.
Individual/feature requests (I will listen, but no promise).

.::APPS & CUSTOMIZATION FOR JazzROM::.
How to Enable S5 ToolBox and N4 SideKey in JazzROM
I have used following guide see here to edit both SecSettings.apk and framework.jar in our tablet. So both this SecSettings.apk and framework.jar updated in JazzROM.
In order to enable it, please follow this instruction link below - you need to download SQLite Editor from play store.
See Here for SQLlite instruction
I do not want copy and paste entire images, nor duplicate instructions here since @thereassaad already nicely outlined, just follow piece for S5 Toolbox and Sidekey for SQLite Editor, and don't forget to click reset button on notifacation in the settings, and then reboot. All stuff need to work is already added to SecSettings.apk and framework.jar.
Important!: Guys, it is case-sensitive, make sure you type as Toolbox, not ToolBox and it is SideKey, not Sidekey
so at the end, you should have like this;
.......;SideKey;Toolbox;SFinder;
How to Install Xposed in JazzROM
1. Install XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk - download here
2. Download xposed-v75-sdk22-tw-arm-custom-build-by-wanam-20151008.zip Wanam's Xposed for Samsung lollipop here - Important!!, remember you need 32bit one, not 64bit version.
2. Reboot into recovery and do full nandroid backup just in case.
3. Flash xposed-v75-sdk22-tw-arm-custom-build-by-wanam-20151008.zip, and do wipe caches and whipe dalwik/art after that (just playing safe here)
4. Reboot is going to take sometime, so take a break, have coffee or glass of wine or something..
5. Once reboots, you have xposed installed (already activated, no need to do anything).
6. Be very very careful what xposed you use, make sure it works with lollipop, especially check if it works for Samsung lollipop ROM!, installing an xposed app that's not intended to work for Lollipop may soft-brick your tablet!
How to get 5-Way Reboot, All Apps in MW (multi-window), Center Clock and Rounded Recents
Courtesy of @pyromayniyak (make sure you thank to him), please see this post here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63487537&postcount=145. Make sure make full nandroid backup in case you like to restore back your tablet to previous stage!
Needless to say, this will be included to next version of JazzROM.

.::Q&A::.
1. I followed your install instruction, got bootloop, samsung logo does not goes way, waited for 1 hour, still nothing, what the heck I am doing wrong..?
Well, there could be couple of a lot reason why so. However, if you tried several times and still got the same result, what I would recommend is start from scratch; what I meant is flash official 5.1.1 firmware via odin, and then flash PhilzTouch CWM Recovery - if you are having issue flashing PhilzTouch CWM Recovery, download it from moonbutt74 thread, copy it to your tablet, unzip it, and locate recovery.img, and using Flasfiy app flash it to your tablet. And finally, grab moonbutt74's bootable stock lollipop kernel and flash it, and then flash Supersu beta 2.49 top of it. At up this point, you should be running official 5.1.1 ROM with root and PhilzTouch CWM Recovery installed as your recovery. Now, come back here and flash this ROM following the instructions above. .

2. Are you going to support or release your ROM for different variant of Tab 4 devices such as SM-T530/T530NU, SM-T532, SM-T331, SM-T337A, etc..?
My motto is if I don't have device, I don't support. Please do understand that. However, if someone or some developers willing to port this ROM to other Tab 4 device, they are more than welcome to do so as long as keep the ROM name and credits intact.

3. I was able to install your ROM and all working perfect, but got some apps FCs, why?
This ROM has been fully tested for several weeks, all apps checks out fine. However, sometimes when installed first time, some apps tend to give you FCs, if it happens, do this step: Go to Settings --> Application Managers --> All, and locate the app that give you FC, and now click Clear Data and Clear Cache, and then reboot your tablet. Now check the app that gave FC and see if it works. If still an issue, send me the catlog.

well, you already did debloated version, for now I am not going to debloat this ROM as I need some more customization and I don't know if I am going to end up needing some apps, libs, frameworks, etc...

I like where your going with this.. I don't have the Skills yet to pull something like this off..
Hell 3 weeks ago I never even Deodexed anything before.. I was up for many days in a row... Many hours watching myself brick my tablet over and over and over again..
I've been in front of my Galaxy tab non stop and man I have learned a lot in such a short time..
I do enjoy giving Tech support, even if they are morons...
I also take it you came across the same problem I had with Google Drive? Opening and Force Closing over and over and over again..lol
I really like how you completely rewrote the Updater-Script..

Some google apps in system folder for lollipop hates deodexing, you may thinking it must be Google thingy, but I believe it is how Samsung intercorparated art runtime in their device.
Trying something new, and soft-bricking tablet...that's how you learn man....so keep it up...
and yeah, I ended up completely rewrote the updater-script to more streamline.

Samsung Frankenstiened Dalvik and ART together.. Nasty mixture, but its made to make it damn near impossible to develop or modify..
There was not one single tool that did the job either.. I used several tools and strangely enough I got it right the first time... I had to make some changes in the Archi Kitchen though since it didn't support our device.. It should now with what I added to it.. When I wanted to use it to preroot, the default method wouldn't work on 5.1.1..
So I changed that as well by updating it..
jazz
Excellent job! Looks great, feels great. Very well done.
Thanks for putting it all together for us.

It worked after I installed it from the PlayStore. Until I needed to reboot my tablet, then it caused a constant reboot over and over again. I had to restore from backup. I don't really need Amplify though, so I'll leave it for now.
But my irblaster does not work. I've tried a few different apps, and none of them work. Will someone check to see if it works with this ROM on their tab so I know if it's just me or not.
Thanks in advance!

remember that originally irblaster was not there, @moonbutt74 made it available in kernel. Samsung somehow screw this up.
honestly, have not have chance to check or test it out.
have you tried Peel app (which replaces Samsung WatchOn). I had WatchOn on my Note 3, suddenly Samsung App promted for update and update it, and become Peel app.

Yes. I have tried WatchOn, Peel, Smart Remote, AnyMote, and a few others. It worked when I was on stock LP 5.1.1 with moonbutt74's kernel, but not working with this ROM.

check with @Zaphodspeaks and see if it works on his ROM or not. If it does not works in his ROM, means because of deodexing may causing it....I can't really tell for sure.

Hi all friends of the Xda. This is my first thread here.
The rom i'm sharing here is for the Galaxy Note Edge, model SCL24 from KDDI Japan. Don't flash this rom in any other model, or you will brick your device.
The file are compressed in zip format, so after download just unzip it on your desktop and flash the file, using the Odin3 v3.09 ~.
I recommend to make an backup before flash this rom. Wipe your data/factory reset and wipe the cache reset on recovery, before flash the rom or after.
The password to unzip the file is "Ecstasy".

"LINK REMOVED DUE TO ERROR 404"
(17/06/24 - Starting from one week ago, i noticed the rom was missing, error 404. After 3 messages to android filehost site, i got an reply saying this mean the rom was excluded, due to some error on server or hijacked account. Since was excluded, there's no way to recover the file. Is necessary to re-upload the rom again. But since i'm already working on another rom, i decided to not re-upload the same rom again. Sorry for any inconvenience.)

Ps:- To get the Dolby fully working, is necessary to flash my custom permissive kernel.
Is still possible to use the Dolby with the stock kernel, but you will get constantly fc when trying to modify some settings on Dolby.
For those who are comming from early versions, like Lollipop or Kitkat, is necessary to flash the OficialStatus file after flash the rom or device will bootloop due to missing bootloader files in the rom.

Hi guys;
Anyone has tried so far? How's it going on?
Smoothly or any hiccup!

Unable to make call
Hi Frank,
I've successfully installed your ROM. However, I couldn't make phone call as it doesn't detect my Simcard.
I couldn't unlock the sim-card because I couldn't dial.
Anyone can help me to resolve this issue
I was using ROM for SCL24 by Spinx
Regards;
khafly
Hi buddy! Thank's for your feedback. The information to "temporary" sim unlock, are already on the rom description.
The method created by the SphinX team on Lollipop, to auto-sim unlock, won't work on Marshmallow because Samsung changed all methods to prevent this. I will work on this when i have more free time and if i managed to get auto sim-unlock again, i will build an another rom with it. For now you can "temporary" sim unlock, dialing #7465625*638*# and on the next window, type 8 zero's (00000000) and press ok to confirm. Wait 1 minute and your sim card will recognized.
If you have any questions, i will be here to help you! Thank's again and hope you Enjoy it! ?
How to unlock sim, if I couldn't dial those numbers you've stated!
Hope for updated ROM very soon.
Thanks and regards;
khafly
I don't know why you are having this problem, since i already have tested, before release this rom. Some people on Vietnam are using and testing this rom too and nobody said anything about this. Can you tell me what's the problem you are having? You can't dial this code or the code are not working?
Regards....
If you are trying this code on an stock rom, this definatelly won't work. You need my rom to work in this way...
Let me know and maybe i can help you my friend! ?

I mean that it's something that like I don't have a simcard in my phone. So, off course I couldn't make any call because there is no network. I even tried using another simcard from different operator and yet still failed.
However, I've restored back to the previous ROM, SCL24 Sphinx which I backed up before installing your ROM and my phone is back to normal again.

I'm not responsible for any damage to your device of any sort.
By flashing this you take responsibility of anything that happens.
Process at your own risk!
If you want to check firmware - please make backup. Better to store all partitions, at least efs and may be modem.
This port based on the "QS_N7_Port_v2.2" port for samsung note 3, big thanks for @qaraqumus
This is first preview version, a lot of problem here, it need to clean-up. Some applications has only vertical, because this is port from phone.
Instructions
1. Install custom recovery
2. Download the zip - firmware
3. Backup all partitions (it least efs) and store somewhere - it need to do - because you can loose imei

I agree! This is a great ROM, but the P555 port is better and more stable. I think there have been more updates (including bug fixes) on the P555 port than this ROM.
If the rom is still in progress? Cause the rom is great but buggy..... I do need the spen feature such as air translate ....So plz get bugs fix ?
thanks Valera1978
For years, i waited for this ROM.
Do not use themes, changed Samsung Keyboard to Google, switch to NovaLauncher. Remove dumbwares.
Now, my Note got a whole new life.

Tutorial
Download the latest version of the rom down below,
if there's a fix for your device varient, download that as well. I will try and merge the fixes on new builds.
In order to install this rom, first of all, if this is your first time, read about it, do some research and understand the consequences. You need an unlocked bootloader, USB debugging enabled and a custom recovery. I recommend TWRP.
Copy the downloaded ROM file and copy it to your device.
Reboot to recovery mode, and use the recovery to get a full backup from your device's current system, data, kernel, etc and make a copy of said backup to your computer. Then, fully wipe Data, Cache, ART cache and system(DO NOT WIPE INTERNAL STORAGE). Then use a recovery file manager or connect the device to your computer and use mtp to delete the folder Android on your device.
Then install the rom, and if you've downloaded fix patches, install them afterwards and then reboot.
When you install the rom, the aroma installer pops up and gives you a set of options for desired Google Apps,
Samsung apps and services. For the Google Apps I recommend installing the wallpapers and Fit since the wallpapers are not on Play Store and Fit performs best as a system app. The rest can be found on Play store.
The services are Dual Sim support, SuperSU root and NFC support. However, you MUST include SuperSU in your choices for now due to a kernel issue. The dual sim support is obviously for the dual sim models and the NFC is optional since it causes battery performance issues on some devices. CHECK IT IF YOU WANT NFC TO BE INSTALLED. Finally the Samsung Apps.
The Samsung apps are Account, which includes the Samsung Galaxy Apps store and Samsung Account which is required for syncing. SAMSUNG Cloud is not included because I think it is a useless battery eating service, but if you need it let me know so I add it as an option for future builds. There are other Samsung services and apps like SNote, SHealth, One Handed Mode, BlueLight Filter, Private Mode, Gallery, Video Player, Voice recorder, MyFiles, Clipboard Service and SPen features. They all pretty much say what they are, the SPen features include air command, spen apps and Snote, and Clipboard Service is Samsung's handy Clipboard Service which I really like.
F.A.Q.[/CENTER]
My device doesn't boot up after 10 minutes of flashing the rom!
If your device's LED light is no longer on and blue, then the issue is with the Settings app, try flashing with a full wipe, restoring your EFS and if it doesn't work out, contact me. If however the blue led is still on, then try and take a log and sending it to me, with your device information.
Which files should I delete prior to installing the ROM?
The only thing you should delete prior to flashing the ROM once in recovery mode is the Android folder in your internal storage.
Links removed
Amazing.Definitely i will try this. Big thanks mate.

Just like you said, the problem is firstly that your device model isn't in the list I said this ROM supports!
Please do some reading prior to flashing and posting. From now on, with all due respect, I will ignore posts like this.

BlueLight Filter is kernel related and it's again because you're running the rom on another device. If anyone tries this ROM on other devices or varients and finds fixes for the bugs not mentioned, please share them so I may include them in future builds.
