+1 on this

If there are known issues (as it appears there are - external SD not being detected, hanging/freezing, etc.), the first post should be updated so that folks are aware before they take a considerable amount of time to wipe their existing ROM to install and configure this ROM.

This kind of response is very disappointing. Another known issue with Open GApps is identified and accompanied by a link to a version that plays well with the ROM. Rather than being appreciative of the feedback and considering an update to the first post, this response dismisses the feedback and implies users should read through the entire thread.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] SkOrPn:
What kind of response are you talking about and who are you directing this rant at? The creator of this ROM and this thread is deadman, and you didn't even quote him on anything, yet you expect other users to update deadmans original post, when deadman isn't even the subject of your rant?

If you don't like the quality of or you can't respect the free support, or people giving up their time to freely help, then maybe you should go back to stock and ***** at Samsung for you not getting your money's worth. The people you quoted can't update the instructions in the original post and their are no serious bugs with this ROM to report or complain about.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] DarkExistence:
Well first off, im not the OP as you can see? I am part of the team, but im the chagallwifi maintainer, I am just replying.

Secondly, yes you should always read through the thread to see what other user experiences are. If you don't then tough luck. This is XDA, we aren't OEMS, we don't babysit our users. Flashing roms is not for people who aren't prepared to take risks.

Wiping roms doesn't take that long, heck you can literally get all your apps installed without even needing to open the play store thanks to google cloud backup. Again, this is XDA. You take the risk, that is in the OP.

We do this for free, and we do this for you guys. If you appreciate it or not thats up to you, but our decisions are our own and we try our best always. Something that will be solved in time doesn't need to be added. Something we are not going to fix, EG the fingerprint sensor, will be.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] Natakranta:
Yes, he meant official firmware. Flash factory MM firmware to have MM bootloader. Than N ROMs will start booting.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] HijoProdigo:
And I just want to say that we appreciate it very much. There are many of us that follow the rules, search, read, find answers, and fix it ourselves and we don't clog up the threads or worse rant against the developers - don't bite the hand that feeds you! :)

I always try to hit the thanks button, but once in a blue moon I like to speak up and actually say - thank you!
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] steamrollerpark:
No problems at all with this Rom, though I do want Show CPU Usage in Dev Options.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] suburbadroid:
i also appreciate the work you devs do for us so that we arent tied to stock roms that are no good. thank you guys. im sure everyone is thankful
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] richardfeb2@gmail.com:
Can i Flash CM 13 It would Easier then mm Firmware as official Firmware cant be done using TWRP .
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] suburbadroid:
no it needs to be stock firmware. it takes longer but its worth it. use samfirm tool to fownload firmware very quick
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] Natakranta:
Only stock firmware contains bootloader you need. Odin it.

Custom ROMs like CM13 don't have it so flashing it million times will not change your bootloader.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] canned_polar_bear:
dirty flashed lineage-14.1-20170524-nightly-klimtwifi-signed.zip over the previous version and don't seem to have any issues. thanks very much for the excellent rom!

[edit, fyi, i downloaded the netflix apk from apkmirror and installed it a week ago, works fine and updatess as usual once it's installed]
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] SkOrPn:
Or search through and read the entire thread. It is the sole reason people reply, to add experiences that may not be covered by the OP, and that is why reading through threads is most critical, regardless of the level of information posted in the OP. If we are not willing to read through them, then we should not be flashing custom 3rd party roms, period. In the TEN, yes 10 years I have been helping, and getting help at XDA I still have read every thread I have ever used as info, and that is probably in the thousands of threads by now ;)

---------- Post added at 01:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:06 PM ----------

Isn't it much easier just to flash the bootloader? That's what I always do, unless of course there is no bootloader file to flash.

---------- Post added at 10:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:43 PM ----------

Agreed to both above.

I just thought flashing full stock firmware is less prone to errors for inexperienced user. Lesser chance to flash wrong bootloader and bootloader is the last thing one should be careless about.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] DarkExistence:
16 degrees and cloudy here! > : ( Met Éireann lied to us down here!
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] SkOrPn:
I wish I could visit Dublin sometime. Today we had lower than usual temperatures at 24C. But here in Albuquerque New Mexico it's supposed to be a hot desert. This year it's nothing like a desert, wettest year in a while now. Garden is going to grow through the roof this summer. Lol

Marshmallow Bootloader.

Couldnt i just get the Marshmallow Bootloader and Flash it, going back to stock Marshmallow removing my custom Recovery is a very long Procedure
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] richardfeb2@gmail.com:
Installation .

In this version of Android N it says we only need the following: [ROM][7.0] Android 7 - Nougat

ROM OS Version: 7.x Nougat

ROM Kernel: Linux 3.4.x

ROM Firmware Required: Tab S Lollipop Booloader

Based On: AOSP

So it can be Flashed using my present Bootloader.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] DarkExistence:
Oh

It also says that LineageOS is based on AOSP.. so not everything is correct is it? Things go out of date when a OP is busy irl, and if it can be flashed, then why isn't it booting for you / have you even tried?

Stop complaining about everything please, we are all saying to flash the marshmallow bootloader. Just flash the entire system which you can download from sammpbile. which literally takes the same amount of time, boot, and then just reboot back to Odin mode and flash twrp. It takes about five minutes.. if you are not prepared to do these things then you really shouldn't be flashing ROMs. It hasn't been an issue for everybody else to do so it shouldn't be for you either.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] richardfeb2@gmail.com:
First of all i am not complaning so dont keep saying that, just asking for your help

and no i have not tried Flashing this Rom yet untill i am sure i have done enough research on it, i have been using custom Roms for more then 3 years now so i know that everthing has to be done correct. And that link sammpbile does not have Android Marshmallow on it, its for Japan.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] DarkExistence:
First off, I'm only saying your complaining because you are. About 3 or four people have tried to help you by saying you need to flash the required bootloader and can be achieved by flashing system, but you have kept asking if you can use the lollipop bootloader.

Secondly, reading the thread will give you all the answers. You don't have to make sure everything is correct. If it doesn't suit you then you just flash another rom, joys of being a rom flasher :)

Finally, I did a quick search and here are all the 6.0.1 firmwares for SM-T700 https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-tabs/SM-T700/ . Choose any 6.0.1 one.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] SkOrPn:
https://samsung-firmware.org/model/SM-T700/region/XAR/

https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-tabs/SM-T700/XAR/

If you are after USA firmware its best to stick with XAR region, but yeah any bootloader will work. My USA model has been on Saudi Arabia bootloader for years now with zero issues. When searching do not separate the S from Tab, search for TabS SM-T700. I believe the bootloader firmware is T700XXU1CPK1. That's what I think USA TabS should be on.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] C0derbear:
FYI, running 20170524 build now, seems to be running very well and behaving, BUT I had quite a bit of "shenanigans" to get it going.

Was running the previous build, so after d/l the new zip to my uSD card I did my usual sequence ...

- reboot to recovery

- delete 'android' directory in internal and uSD

- wipe dalvik/cache/system directories (not data)

- install, in order

-- rom

-- beansgapps mini

-- los su add-on

- reboot to os

Upon reboot, the google play services kept crashing and I was unable to use play store.

SO, ended up doing a clean flash

- reboot to recovery

- wipe *all* except uSD card

- install in above order

- reboot to os

*sigh* - same problem

So, tried same clean flash sequence using opengapps.

Same result.

So, tried same clean flash sequence again with beansgapps and previous LOS ROM.

Same result. WTF?

So, did a clean flash of current ROM but ONLY installed ROM

- reboot to rom, made sure it was okay

- reboot to recovery, erase 'android' directories on both internal and uSD, wipe dalvik/cache, flash beansgapps,

- reboot to rom, google play services crashing

- reboot to recovery, erase 'android' directories on both internal and uSD, wipe dalvik/cache, flash current opengapps pic

- reboot to rom, everything works.

?WTF?

But, not looking "gift horse in the mouth."

So, flashed SU add-on, wipe dalvik/cache, reboot to SO, all good.

Ok, no complaints that things are now running well, and I'm hoping (?) this was a quirk of my particular device (not that I'm clear how that could be), but wanted to share the adventure.

Ugh.

Wierd.

Gapps Help

Hey guys I'm new here this will be my first time flashing a ROM, just wanted to know whats the differences between BeansGapps and OpenGapps? and which version I should use for this build? any help would be great.:fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] C0derbear:
I don't know the specific details, and it will vary quite a bit depending upon WHICH of the specific packagings you select, however it appears that only Beans Gapps is currently supported by the ROM builders. IIRC the OpenGapps are not up to date vs Android 7.1.2 so have problems with the ROM (particularly during initial setup).

This is a pretty fluid situation though, so YMMV.

disclaimer: I am NOT a member of any of the development teams, just another "tester" e.g. "user" of the ROM (for which I'm very happy with and grateful for the development).
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] yreham:
I use the aroma opengapps never had wories
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] SkOrPn:
Lol, what's wrong with just dirty flashing the latest build over a solid running previous build and enjoying the extremely stable experience with only a few minutes invested?

That's what I always do and never ever a problem.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] C0derbear:
Honestly, that's basically what I started with - but I have repeatedly has odd issues with cpu usage and such which led to nuking the 'android' directories on each flash.

Later oddities led to wiping the system partition in addition to cache and dalvik, and that combined process had been rock solid for quite a while.

I blame my device, but one never knows, so I shared the pain, as a reference.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] SkOrPn:
I still have not clean flashed Lineage as of yet. When it first came out I flashed the experimental over top something else and it just worked. Since then I have been dirty flashing without any errors. However, a few weeks ago I reported a random reboot which actually surprised me but it was just a single reboot and hasn't returned. Its been near flawless for the most part. I am finding this device not to be as fast as I would like, and I am not sure if its LineageOS or the hardware itself.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] pkarza:
The rom works very smoothly - and I am impressed with the performance.

I noticed that when I reboot the tablet I am given a message that says

Kernel is not SeAndroid enforcing

Is this an error and does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks for any help in advance!
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] DarkExistence:
just ignore it
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] jthein1989:
Like DarkExistence said, ignore it.

The kernel just doesn't force the SE Policy to "Enforcing". The default policy is "Enforcing", but because the kernel allows you to change the policy, it warns you at boot.

The chances that you will ever need to change it is slim to none. It's just another security measure. Some apps require your SE Policy to be "Permissive" in order to do what their programmed to do.

The only program I've ever run into an issue with an Enforced SE Policy was a RAM editor.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] Chimax:
It won't work on T705... or will it?
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] pellajl:
New MM firmware was released in Australia (XSA) for the T700 dated 2017-05-09. No new firmware for any other region has been released.

https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-tabs/SM-T700/

Not sure what under the hood changes there are.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] DarkExistence:
Most likely just some security updates that we already have because LineageOS is way ahead in terms of security for this tablet then stock.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] pellajl:
That what is surprising, the Security Patch Level remained at 1 August 2016 which is way behind.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] Natakranta:
Because Samsung :D
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] ZimriTech:
So I have only had my tablet freeze up on me once which was while I was playing a 3D game and that was like 30 minutes in.

It wasn't the freeze that annoyed me but the fact that I couldn't turn off my tablet. Is there any way I can do this in the future? I tried every button but it just stuck on a frame of the game and making a loud noise for many hours until it finally died.

I also don't have any tools to get the back of the tablet off to take out the battery when this happens and I would like to not have to do that.

---------- Post added at 05:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:08 PM ----------

Also does anyone know how to take screenshots since the old method (power + home) doesn't work anymore?
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] C0derbear:
IIRC if you hold volume-up and volume-down and power it will eventually power off.

Then you can use normal power button to boot.

[ if I am mis-remembering, add the home button, but it will work - I had a hard lock last Sat and was able to immediately shut it down and restart ]
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] ShevT:
Very very long press power button :)
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] richardfeb2@gmail.com:
This Problem has not been Resolved with the new Update ?
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] richardfeb2@gmail.com:
This Problem was not solved in the new update ?
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] ShevT:
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] canned_polar_bear:
dirt flashed lineage-14.1-20170607-nightly-klimtwifi-signed.zip and opengapps nano of the same date (wiping cache/dalvik each time in twrp). no issues, or at least any obvious ones so far.

thanks again for the awesome rom, since the H/W video acceleration issue was solved i've been loving it!
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] archspijkenisse:
Does this mean the battery drain issue during video playback is solved?

[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] C0derbear:
I believe so but don't watch enough video on the tablet to be sure.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] canned_polar_bear:
definitely, since a couple of weeks now.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] ghalalb:
If you're asking if this rom is still freezing, it hasn't for me in the last few builds. If you're asking if the long press of the power button is not shutting down a frozen tablet, it always has so I'm not 100% sure what your asking.

Very very long press of the power button is a suggestion not a problem.

Bottom of the downloads page.

[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] steamrollerpark:
Latest Delta caused 'Stuck at Bootscreen' problem. Had to wipe, install full zip and start fresh.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] richardfeb2@gmail.com:
Root

Is this Rom Rooted ? If not how do i root it ?
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] C0derbear:
ugh, what a drag.

I dirty flashed this morning and it was fine. I wonder what makes the difference? I have BeansGapps 20170610 and the LOS root add-on. No fancy things other than that.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] richardfeb2@gmail.com:
Whats is LOS root add-on ? This Rom is not Rooted ?
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] C0derbear:
It's what it sounds like, the flashable add-on to enable root.

No, by default the rom is not rooted.

Found under 'extras' off the main LOS download page.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] richardfeb2@gmail.com:
When is this flashed during the flashing of the Rom or after ?
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] C0derbear:
Last time I flashed them all, I did the su addon last.

1. rom

2. beans gapps

3. su

[wipe cache/dalvik]

*reboot*

I did them all at once within recovery, don't know if it's better to do one at a time and reboot each time. shrug.

You can also add it later, I believe, just don't forget to wipe cache/dalvik to be safe.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] richardfeb2@gmail.com:
So this addon contains Superuser which is su{Arm} Thanks for the Information.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] nostupidthing:

Are the freezes and reboots fixed?

I installed pokemon go end when using it my tablet reboots

This is a clean install with latest ROM and gapps available today.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] richardfeb2@gmail.com:
good question, which everyone wants to know.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] DragonZeal:
When doing some searching I found this site: http://www.exynos5420.com

I installed the LiquidDeath Rom which is optimized for our cpu and frankly it works great.

I'm going to use this one until the new rom on http://www.exynos5420.com will be stable (and available)
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] canned_polar_bear:
just an additional datapoint. i've been running this ROM for a while now, nothing exotic, just video stuff like youtube, netflix and browsing, mail. have had no issues with it whatsoever since the video fix. never saw a crash.

very happy, thanks. keep up the good work.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] C0derbear:
I concur, it's been wonderfully solid for me for neigh onto a month, maybe more.

BUT I don't do any 3d gaming or the like, probably the most challenging thing I ask the device to do is downloads while playing FHD video.

90% of the SOT is using the Kindle app, TapaTalk, Chrome, and Inbox.

Hello guys how can I fix my button lights it doesent illuminate anymore
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] SkOrPn:
I'm just reporting that I have had 2 freezes in the past few days. Once during typing a message on Skype and the other while looking for motels for my cousins. I believe I was just using the Google maps app when it froze solid. None of this bothers me much since I can do a forced reboot. Just thought I would let others know.

Has anyone ever tried F2FS on this device before? I'm wondering if it runs any better using a different nand format or not. Thanks
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] hans william:
Sir I tried to used F2FS always failed to boot up, I don't know why???
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] SkOrPn:
Yeah I used to use it on my old Samsung phones many years ago, and my old Nexus devices too, but I never tried it on this Tablet. I always figured this tablet was fast enough for me, but its really not. But thanks for the information...
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] pellajl:
I don't see any real advantage in using F2FS unless you have an old device with relatively low memory - Nexus 7 2012 for example.

Don't forget, F2FS is less efficient when allocating memory which can impact available memory.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] SkOrPn:
Yeah my 2012 Nexus 7 improves greatly when using F2FS on the data and cache partitions. So on the Samsung tablet there is no noticeable difference? In other words all the little app stutters remain a constant?

Maybe I need to look for a more modern tablet I'm guessing. Lol
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] lawrex:
Can we do multi windows on this ROM? I haven't been able to find it.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] lolwatpear:
lineageos kernels are supposed to support F2FS by default I thought. I will take any improvement possible, no matter how little.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] steamrollerpark:
I think freezes are due to AOSP Webview.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] pellajl:
What makes you say that? Can you reproduce it?
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] Eanan:
Has anyone got Viper4Android working on this?
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] steamrollerpark:
Try the Viper install via Magisk module. Magisk has been working very well for me on this Rom.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] CHGICEMAN:
Sorry for my bad English.

Is the application key with you, with a second user? I have 3 apps for my son in an extra user with restricted rights and because the application button does not work.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] richardfeb2@gmail.com:
what is F2FS ?
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] pellajl:
F2FS is a "disk" format developed by Samsung for the Linux kernel.

Funnily enough, Stock ROM on Samsung devices uses ext4 format which is more efficient in storing files, but delivers a little less performance. The opposite is true for F2FS.

Google for more details.

In the Windows world, you have NTFS, FAT16, FAT32 etc...
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] Se7enLC:
Can anyone tell me if the issue with apps like Netflix, Amazon Video, and Google Music not being able to select the external SD have been fixed?

When I first reported it, I was told it was a known issue, but I've been unable to find a bug report on it or a list of known issues. Not impatient or anything. I reverted back to a previous nightly when it was working. But if it's working again, I'd like to hop back on the nightly train. Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] C0derbear:
I know that Google Music, Cloud Player, VLC, Camera, have no problem with my external SD.

I don't used Netflix / Amazon Video on mine so can't speak to them.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] Se7enLC:
Thanks! To clarify, with Google Music, under Music Settings | Downloading you see an option "Storage location", and you can select between Internal and External?
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] nostupidthing:
How much screen on time do you have with this romm
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] C0derbear:
Yes, I can select my "119.1 Gb External" location.
