Is this the same device? I'm sorry but I can't separate their model anymore and I see the first post also said T-235 is 2016. If it was the same then can I goes back to official ROM again without any backup?

Is there any way to make chase app [or any other app] use a 3'rd party camera, as the stock camera is not working?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Switcher19:
After preforming a decent reset/wipe( thanks jedld) flashing LINEAGE-OMS-14.1-20181117-UNOFFICIAL-SMT285-ALPHA.zip went well. The system works well with the pico open_gapss but stay's in the boot logo if I try to install the nano_gapps . This is not really a problem, I am happy with the pico version.

Initially there was no mobile data. The trick explained here: 3. Fixing Improper Radio Signals Broadcasting from pingzic (google it, can't post links) solved the problem.

As mentioned by other people the native camera app does not work, it captures an initial image and freezes on it without focussing. The opencamera app hwever works perfect.

The camera issue seems to have concequences for barcode scanners. I tried 6 different one's and they all show teh same behavior as the native camera app: freezing on an onfocused initial image. I guess that those scanners use the same lib as the native camera app.

GPS is working to a certain degree: not enough satelites are detected. I compared with an pt1300(older galaxy tab A lineageos 13), on the same moment and location the PT1300 caputres 8 sat's and lock's 4 of them while the newer sm-t285 hardly finds 2 sat's. Modifying the ntp server does not fix this.

I will keep on using this lineage port, it is really nice work. A fix for the GPS and barcode however would be very welcome

Hey, how you ported the lineageos?

I have a SM-T280 right here, how i port to it??

i already have Lineage OS 14.1 right here too, what i need to port???

Discord: Yago_34.exe#2345

---------- Post added at 04:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:02 PM ----------

in lineageos it's just follow the steps from a build guide of other device

if the device can run lineageos and the same is running lineageos, the build become more easier (according to official build guide of lineage os)

Sorry for being a noob.

I am not great at using forums still, I try my best but still get lost. I don't want to make new posts and annoy people, so I am editing this

What state should my phone be in when i install the tar on odin. I am using AP slot in odin, I am putting twerp on first, then I am using odin AP slot for the ROM zip. Am I missing a pre-guide to allow custom ROM? please help a noob, i am a nice guy despite being a little thick lol!

Edit: HAHA, i tried again after wiping with twerp 1st, and that screen(lineage loading screen it turns out) passes along!

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] jedld:
It is possible but it requires significant effort to do so. I have a 8.0 branch where I started work on it but it just requires too much of my time.

I remember looking into this but could not get anything out of the hardware and software settings, my guess is samsung stock has a proprietary lib that alters the sound to make it louder.

Have a nice day

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] gcrutchr:
Hi Thomas,

First of all, thank you for the donation.

I am not making any changes to the ROM. All I am doing is updating any sources which have changed and rebuilding the ROM.

I do this at least once a week. If I had more time, I would probably work on upgrading the sources to a higher version of android. But, it is a lot of work.

I hope you enjoy the ROM.

Hello!

I'm Mubanda from Rwanda-Africa, I'm using SM-T285, I've updated it to a custom ROM lineage 14.1 developed by jedld. It works well and some buggs were corrected.

I wanted to ask if there is any hope to get a higher lineage custom 15 or 16.

I really want to update my old Tab.

Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] gcrutchr:
Hi,

I do not know if jedld is working on a newer version or not.

Updating from 7.0 to 8.0 is difficult.

Be patient and see if jedld announces any updates forthcoming.

Okay, Thanks!

I will patiently wait for it.

Thank you great developers for updates. I have flashed my tablet and it feels really great using newer version of android.

I have issues by doing updates and install opengapps.

It says: verification of whole-file failed. It says for both update and opengapps.

I have not used partial software and used the syste m itself at recovery modmode.

Would you minds tell me what to do after flashing tablet in order to have opengapps installed? I'm not Much experienced in flashing. Please tell me how to do it step by step :o.

But I do have a friend who knows some code, and is gonna go over this with me, I've already adjusted most of the files from, gtexslte (sm-t285's model name) to gtexwifixx (sm-t280's model name) other than that in the code, I need to remove the connections to cellular Radio, but am having a issue with that part, I'll upload the zip when I'm finished adjusting the code, but I found the original code here: https://github.com/jedld/device_samsung_gtexslte

If there something I missed when I upload the zip, could you tell me, you can reach me at ssfgames13@gmail.comssfgames13@gmail.com thanks.

Update: I finished the zip and uploaded it here, http://www.mediafire.com/file/w6py5e3nxtehc8d/device_samsung_gtexwifixx-cm-14.1.zip/file

GPS apps don't work right, but you can successfully navigate with Google Maps. It's a bit bizarre.

Getting this tablet to work at all on Nougat was a nightmare. The hardware is pushed to it's absolute limits. Going any higher will likely be a lost cause for anyone who does this for a hobby.

At some point, you have to either bite the bullet and buy better hardware, or be willing to run older software.

(Spoken as someone who kept the AT&T Note-1 on life support far longer than it had any right to.)

I'm just happy that we got Nougat AT ALL, so I don't have to look at blinding Material Design white any more. ?

is there any interest for newer builds?

I am starting a new personal project to use this TAB as car navigation and so working on LOS 14.1 based on the OP's sources anyways..

so I was wondering if there are still users out there using this good old boy? if so I would make a new thread for this ofc..

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] stao5740:
Hi, steadfasterX

I am also using SM-T285 as car navigation. I would love to see good GPS-able ROM for this!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] steadfasterX:
ah good to know that I am not the only one :)

but I saw GPS fix isn't working yet , is that correct?

a bit offtopic I know but what app do you prefer for navigation in your country (which one is it)?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] myLittleBuns:
Hi steadfasterX,

I use the SM-T285 almost daily for various stuff and would love newer builds for this device! Especially, up-to-date security patches.

GPS works on my tab — time taken to get a lock if set to Device only can range from less than one second to about a minute.

Since one minute is too long, I installed UnifiedNlp as a system priv-app and various back-ends from F-Droid. Works great in my experience.

I have previously flashed Open GApps Stock with Jedld's Oct 2018 build — also works great and Google Maps consistently takes less than a second to resolve location if Wi-Fi is on. But I don't want my tablet to query ssl.google-analytics.com every minute so... :D

For navigation, I use OsmAnd~. Downloaded the map for New Zealand for offline use.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] steadfasterX:
thanks for your replies guys. So I will create a thread when I have tested my current build.

If everything is going well, maybe this weekend already as I expect my tablet to be delivered tomorrow. I have to say that my Samsung times are a couple of years ago, so please be patient with me If something is not working as it should. ;) (already saw some weird stuff which needs to be done to fake the bootloader etc).

Also have to say awesome job so far by [MENTION=649003]jedld[/MENTION] ! He made my day with all his work he put into this device and ROM and I really appreciate to see all needed sources etc which is often not the case .. So: a heavy thanks dude!

Due to the fact that the last build is from long time ago I nevertheless needed to clean and re-settle several parts of the sources and i want to integrate TWRP builds as well.. But one step after the other ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] myLittleBuns:
I'm excited! Will be looking forward to the new builds!

Jedld did an awesome job with this tab! Many thanks to him

This may put off some users though as camera does not work fully on the LOS 14.1 builds. Open Camera and video calls on Signal work, but the stock app, even Google Camera and other apps that use the camera (e.g. barcode scanners, FreeOTP) fail. Also, video recording will fail even in Open Camera. Maybe something to do with missing libs or the Camera2 API? Otherwise, the build is as perfect as it gets.

On the other hand, if the goal is simply navigation, then the camera may not be needed, unless one absolutely must navigate while simultaneously using the device as a dashboard camera (e.g. using multi-window)

As for TWRP, I am using the one from Jedld's OmniROM build (title below, can't post links yet sorry). Device decryption works, formats partitions to ext4. Previously used it to flash Open GApps successfully.

================================

OmniROM:

reg. the cam I will look into that, maybe I can solve it , maybe not ;)

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] myLittleBuns:
Cool! Would your TWRP build be able to format partitions to F2FS?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] steadfasterX:
maybe in a later build yes. the ROM (kernel and system) must support that as well then so first of all I want a general working release ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] myLittleBuns:
Nice!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] steadfasterX:
****.....

the moment when you open the package and find 2 Tablets and both are SM-T280 instead of SM-T285... damn..

tbh I didn't realized it until I flashed TWRP and it didn't booted whatever I tried..

then I realized it shows SM-T280 in download mode.. wth.. and yea I ordered SM-T285..

I hope to get it exchanged asap..
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] myLittleBuns:
Sorry to hear that. Look out for the presence of an earpiece in the coming tablets (although I find it rather ridiculous to hold up such a big device to your ear)

The seller hopefully will accept back tablets with TWRP installed?

Unless of course you removed TWRP and installed back the original recovery (I couldn't somehow find the original recovery and stock images for this device from the Samsung website)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] nonperson:

good to know. seems it was a good choice of mine to buy it.. it has the perfect dimensions for me, can be unlocked and thx to jedld the most of the work is done for using LOS in the way I need it..

today I have sent the wrong delivered SM-T280 back (I will get a full refund but wouldn't had accepted anything else).

on sunday I bought 2 used ones (with photo proofs of the real devices) and hope they will arrive this week.

(acc to your sig) you're still on stock for your LG G4...... ?? ;)

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] User_99:
Yes, Stock LG 4 ;)

[MENTION=4222784]SM-[/MENTION]T285

Same decision for this device. Size ist perfect - mainly used in portrait modus - and accu can powered up while driving. For bigger one it's very difficult to find a car charger whicht really charge the device.

LTE do it's job - also for Roming.

Stock 5.1.1 is fine and all works, but think newer Navigation apps will use newer android versions...

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] steadfasterX:
tablet (the right one finally.... )arrived yesterday but I was not able to get my own build booted..

somehow the boot image f**s me .. seems my ramdisk is screwed or something..

my own-build kernel works fine when I use it in this ROM here so it must be either the boot image itself or the ramdisk within...

jfi that it takes a bit longer then hoped..

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] myLittleBuns:
Any progress when you put your ramdisk in Jedld's boot.img with his kernel? Sorry if this is a n00b qn...I don't have experience in building for Android, though I'd be eager to build myself when I can get a better computer...probably when I finish my studies...

Hi guys or girls :)

Sorry for not replying for long time. My 2 cents:

For me, GPS fix is a major problem on most builds. In short, only stock works. In particular, the ROMs which I tested for GPS fix that DO NOT work:

[ROM][LINEAGEOS][7.1.2][OMS][microG][UNOFFICIAL] Samsung Galaxy Tab A 7.0 LTE SM-T285 (this thread)

[ROM][CM13][6.0.1][BETA][UNOFFICIAL] Samsung Galaxy Tab A 7.0 LTE SM-T285 (abandoned version of above)

[ROM][UNOFFICIAL][7.1.1][TEST] OmniRom for Galaxy Tab A 7 LTE (SM-T285) (that's disappointing, because Omni is such fast and minimalistic :crying: )

[ROM][UNOFFICIAL][6.0.1][BETA] OmniRom for Galaxy Tab A 7 LTE (SM-T285) (abandoned version of above)

[ROM][ROOT][STOCK][TINKER-EDITION][5.1.1] Galaxy Tab A 7.0 2016 SM-T280/T285 (somehow I had problems with GPS + WiFi. Most of the time WiFi couldn't connect even to known networks)

The ROMs which I tested for GPS fix that DO work:

stock 5.1.1 (for stock firmware I use sammobile.com. This ROM is big and slow as hell, unacceptable)

[ROM][STOCK][DEBLOATED][5.1.1] Samsung Galaxy Tab A 7.0 LTE 2016 (SM-T285) (my current ROM. a little faster than stock, a lot slower than LinageOS or Omni :rolleyes: )

I use a combo of these apps (usually 3 at the same time):

Google Maps (most convenient for me, for many reasons)

Yanosik (best alert app for our domestic roads - greets from Poland :cool: )

GPS Status (used for diagnostics (and testing if ROM supports GPS fix :D ) and for downloading A-GPS helper data)

Last but not least, from previous posts I understand that there is a way to get GPS fix on LinageOS. Am I doing something wrong? Can someone explain more? :eek: Does UnifiedNlp help or does it fix the problem??
