lollipop on SM-T230

[mcausey]

All,
I am looking to install lollipop on my samsung galaxy tab4 (SM-T230). Does anyone know of references available for doing this or should I just go over to xda forums and ask them.
thanks!

Try your luck over at XDA. I haven't found anything for the Tab 4's though. I'd wait for an OTA option, as I haven't seen any Dev interest in a custom ROM.

Want to know if i have a Tab 4 rooted with kitkat, if i can upgrade to lollipop?

No Lollipop upgrades, sorry.

There is a very good Dev named emoboy at xda who's made three modified versions of the stock ROM. He's made one with a Windows 8 tablet theme, an Apple iOS theme, and one with a Lollipop theme. Here's the link to the L one:

Keep in mind that this is not the actual Lollipop OS. This mod does include a few xposed modules. It doesn't have TouchWiz installed, so your tablet may run a bit faster. We are dealing with the Marvell chip set, which is slower than the Adreno that's in the other Tab 4's. Maybe emoboy was able to tweak graphic quality a little, I don't know.

I'll come around if there is an actual L ROM. Check this out in the mean time if you're interested. Back up your current setup before trying this, and wipe your device fully before installing.

BTW I rooted this tab but I don't know if when lollipop will be available I'm not going to have a problem. Don't exactly how works an os rooted.

I installed this and it works fine
I think the rom is for the t231 though but works perfectly and instructions were thorough
