It took Cyanogen mod guys some time to bring it to the SM-T900 but it is finally here. The cm-11 ROM is very snappy and responsive, there is no reason not to use it as a daily driver. Before flashing it’s recommended to update to TWRP 2.8.0.0.

Note:

– IR blaster problem apparently solved with Bonuzzz’s new kernel, non-verified
– Lid sensor – solved with Bonuzzz’s new kernel, verified.

The boot image will stay idle for a couple of minutes at start-up, just be patient, once the cm logo is seen it will run smooth. Xposed Framework might need re-initialization after each boot, which is common for all CyanogenMod ROM’s.

This is an AOKP ROM, why you also need to install gapps (set of packages – full, mini, micro, nano, pico).

• You can download the ROM from here.

We all are big fans of CyanogenMod 11 and it has been ported to the Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 WiFi model. For those who do not know about it, CM11 is based on Android open source project from myriad people from the Android community.

To install it you will need to have TWRP pre installed on your Galaxy Tab  Pro 8.4 WiFi as that is the only way of getting anything third-party and unofficial to your tablet. 

After you have TWRP installed on your device, download the current build from here and then install it. Do that by placing this file in the root directory; going to recovery and flashing it from there.

Since the source does not include any Google-specific services you will need to install Gapps yourself. Install them using the same method for installing the CM11 firmware.

Your search for a pure and debloated ROM that is deodexed and knoxless ROM ends as an XDA user has churned out a ROM that has exactly those features. It is based on Official Samsung US based T320XAR1ANAI (8.4" WiFi) and does not comes with the annoying Knox installed.

It is also pre rooted and comes with busybox pre-installed.

Extras:
4 – 1 Reboot Menu
Animations Speed Up Mod
SD-Card Fix for r/w
ASEC Mod to move purchased apps back to /data/app instead of /data/app-asec

At the launch event of Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2, the Korean giant churned out a cheaper version of it that lacks S Pen capabilities, and called it Galaxy Tab PRO 12.2. Rest of its specifications are similar to the Note Pro 12.2 tablet.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab PRO 12.2 is equipped with a Super Clear LCD display which runs Android version 4.4 KitKat operating system on screen with WQXGA (2560 x 1600 pixels) resolution.

Computing power is pretty impressive too as Sammy has equipped it with  Exynos 5 Octa / Snapdragon 800 CPU (International / US), which is backed by the 3-gigabyte of RAM to keep everything run smoothly.

For storage, the manufacturer has installed 32 / 64 GB internal eMMC flash storage that is expandable via a micro SD slot that supports cards up to 64 GB. It will be available in black or white (shown below).

Other Samsung Galaxy Tab PRO 12.2 Specs include 8-megapixel main camera capable of recording video clips in full HD, 2 mega pixel webcam, dual band 3G / 4G LTE radio (Snapdragon 800 version), infrared port, Bluetooth 4.0, USB 2.0 port, GPS receiver with A-GPS + GLONASS, and battery capacity of 9500 mAh.

Samsung has introduced a Pro branded Galaxy Tab with 8.4 inches, and as expected Samsung is calling it Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4. It comes with 8.4 inch display and runs Android 4.4 kitkat operating system. And since it is meant to compete with the retina iPad Mini, the Korean giant has equipped it with a 2560×1600 pixel display.

Full Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 Specs include quad core Snapdragon processor 800 that runs at 2.3 GHz clock speed, Adreno 330 graphics chip, 2 gigabyte of RAM, 16 GB / 32 GB of flash storage, and a 8.4-inch display with a resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels.

Unlike Tab 3 7.0, the Pro 8.4 will be a part of premium devices and will cost more than non-retina Galaxy tabs so far.
