I seem to have solved my battery problem by automatically disabling WiFi when the screen turns off.

Need to run more tests to make sure, but last night the tablet lost 1-2% of battery.

I automated the process by using "Automate". The free version is enough if you don't want to run anything else w/ it.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.llamalab.automate&hl=en_US

Create a flow that looks like this:

Make sure you give the app permissions by ticking the "access local network, internet and nearby devices" box, then installing the app it redirects you to.

Also, you probably want to enable "Run on system startup" in settings. Careful, this can cause havoc if you have other, malicious flows.

Run the flow and enjoy!

I'll report back in a few days with more info about this.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] lmacmil:
Thanks for the tip. I've been doing it manually but this is certainly easier.

Never got an answer to this in the Q&A section. Anyone know how long after Google releases the monthly security update that it gets Incorporated into the nightly builds?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] lmacmil:
Why has the nightly update size gotten smaller by 18MB?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] ericcl:
You are the hero we needed.

I was losing about 4% battery per hour when unplugged, running LOS 16.0. I only use the tablet for consuming media, and don't have a lot of apps installed. Certainly none with a lot of background or wake-lock behavior. Aside from the usual nonsense on Google Play Services.

I installed Automate 3 days ago and set up this pattern. Now the power drain when unplugged is much more in an acceptable range. It's still high, but not bordering unusable as it was before. I've had it off power a couple hours on my desk this morning and it's at 96%.

Is there a similar type of pattern for Tasker? I bought Tasker years ago but I haven't found much use for it.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] funkdoobi:
This automation just made the tablet perfect. I've unlocked it after having it in sleep for a day and it lost like 2% juice compared to my unlocking it and hoping it wasn't completely dead. Thank you!
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] Taverius:
So, I finally switched to 15.1 (inertia woo!) and now my Firefox and some other apps are in phone ui mode, which makes them bloody useless.

Can I fix it, or do just roll back to 14?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] De1v3c1o:
How stable is the latest nightly for daily use?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] _dud3:
Today, I switched to LOS 15.1 from stock ROM. I'm used to CM/LOS for around three years now with my Moto E 2015 (surnia). I recognized a minor issue: No matter if dark or light design mode is set, if I use a bright light wallpaper (I used just a white square for testing) the screen turns black when pulling down the status bar.

If you slowly pull down the status bar, you can see the rest of screen becomming darker and darker. That's normal so far, but the steps are obviously too short and after the status bar is pulled down a few pixels background, icons etc. disappear.

I set different wallpaper to test this issue, but any other image works fine. Maybe there just need to be changed of few values, so that the screen won't become completely dark except for the status bar itself.

Thank you very much for your attention and your work.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] lmacmil:
I used the 10/02 nightly until 3 weeks ago when I flashed the 1/10/19 nightly. I've had no issues with either. I use Chrome, NYTimes app, XDA, Kindle app, WeatherBug, YouTube plus a few others. I don't play games or watch movies so I can't comment on that activity.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] rholm:
What launcher are you using?

How is battery life on the latest version of this ROM? I have Lineage 16.0 (Android 9) but the battery life in standby isn't the greatest. :( Need something with a bit better battery life. What do you all recommend? Thanks so much! :D
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] lmacmil:
Can't speak for the latest nightly but for the 1/10 build, I lose 1-2% overnight (8-9 hours) with WiFi off and all apps closed.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] alias4ever:
Great thanks so much, appreciate it! :D
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] lmacmil:
I checked the 2/17 build last night and it lost 8% in 9 hours, much worse than the 1/10 build.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] lmacmil:
Is it possible to flash and older build without wiping the system?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] lmacmil:
I flashed the 2/20 build of 15.1 yesterday. From 8 pm last night to 7 am this morning, it lost 0%. I'll stick with this one for the foreseeable future.

It lost 2% in 9 hours the following night. Still much better than the 2/17 build.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] lmacmil:
Have we seen the last 15.1 nightly? I see that 16.0 showed up on the update list today.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] Vash:
We are done with 15.1, yeah. Just upgraded to 16 today, everything looks good so far!
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] CryptoChief:
Hey guys. I want to downgrade from 16 to 15.1. Yes I know is be practice to stay updated but I absolutely don't like the new horizontal app switcher. I also don't think I want to install Lawnchain V2, Magisk, and the TaskSwicher module to get the old vertical app switcher back. Does anyone have any 15.1 builds for gts28vewifi they can spare me? Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] guinnes.s:
Trying to wipe but getting errors?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] Lupin The Third:
Are you using the official twrp? And did you format data first?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] guinnes.s:
ok all good ..flashed 15.0 ...

is the top notification draw supposed to be that small and on the right of the screen ?

i have flashed the gapps but when starting the playstore it stais on the CHECKING INFO..?

thanx
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] nnortel37:
Thank you for the new release. All is fine.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] eturk01:
Forgot to check back for your reply on 5GHz WiFi missing.

Configure country where?

BTW great job again on this ROM!! So much better than stock Samsung!!
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] nostupidthing:
Setting WiFi advanced
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] eturk01:
My router is 5765 MHz.

Looks like I can only see 5GHz nets up to 5660. MHz on this ROM. All nets above that are missing. Hmmm...
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] BackCheck:
For what it's worth, I've been building my own builds of 14.1 using proprietary vendor files from TheMuppets and have all 5ghz bands now.

Recovery Booting Stuck

I tried to install this. I did everything as said until the recovery. I flashed it and rebooted to recovery. Except it doesn't boot. It's flashing on the recovery booting screen and I can not reboot it or get to download mode. I don't know what to do. Please help me! :crying:
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] nnortel37:
New update: thank you!
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] TheLonelyNoble:
Awesome ROM! Buttery smooth for the most part. :D

Though I do wonder of the inclusion of OTG while charging. My understanding is that it's kernel dependent(I could be wrong, though). I found it worked in the Lineage 14 I was running, though I'm not sure how easy bringing it across would be.

Anyway.

Keep up the amazing work! :D
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] eturk01:
So happy to have this ROM!

Confirmed channels cut off after 144.

Maybe you & [MENTION=5075128]LuK1337[/MENTION] could work together on this?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] preference:
Since this is Oreo is oms support integrated? Sorry if I come across as ignorant
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] Drago1144:
Can I install this time on the t710 model and will it work with the t710
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] LuK1337:
It won't work.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] Plauges:
Maybe its something I have done. Anyone else having trouble with OK google detection?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] eturk01:
You're right.

Strange that settings/Google/voice/"ok Google" detection only has 'from Google app' setting. It's missing 'say anytime' as on my phone.

It only can work while in the app.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] isimobile:
Thanks for the great ROM!

One question, Is it possible to turn off the capacitive button lights, so that it only lights when you touch the button and not the screen. They seem to say on all the time when you touch the screen. Would love to be able to turn them on only when you touch the button and not the screen or even just to disable the lights.

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] tripLr:
I would be willing to try with my 710 if I need a tester
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] nostupidthing:
Man this is for t713 totally different CPU of T710
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] LuK1337:
But they sure look similar xD
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] tripLr:
So how did the 715 get Oreo¿ There must be something to build from.

If the difference is the CPU, then there must be a source tree for the 710
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] Semmelknoedel:
Hi all, maybe someone can help me to find out a solution for my problem with incorrect date and time in TWRP and after a restart in ROM. Without activated WLAN I get a date in 2016 and a complte wrong time. If I activate WLAN the date/time is automatically set correct. If I change the time manually and restart tablet, the time is wrong again. In Recovery I also see the wrong time. Wrong means not only time zone but also minutes are incorrect. How can I set the time (and date) correctly? In google I found something about a TimeSet.apk but I didn't understand.

Thanks in advance for you answers.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] paulr24:
When trying to flash the ROM I get:

"Updated process ended with ERROR: 7

Error installing zip file..."

The first time around I was able to edit the updater-script file and make it work, but I'd rather not need to do that every time I update. Seems like I need to flash the correct bootloader... can anyone point me in the right direction please?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] LuK1337:
Yes, read the OP.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] paulr24:
Hmm, I've read the OP but I'm still not sure what it is I need to do, sorry. Am I supposed to flash a file from the github repo or something?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] paulr24:
Hmm, I actually did use the recovery from the OP. I didn't know how to create an Odin flashable .tar file so I used the tool here to create it: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2281287. When I boot to recovery it shows as version 3.1.0-1 though and not 3.1.1-0 like it says here: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634796302... Maybe I did something wrong flashing the recovery? I'm new to Samsung devices so I don't have much experience with Odin, etc.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] LuK1337:
Then you didn't flash it xD

You can flash .img files in TWRP itself.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] paulr24:
Ugh, I totally knew that TWRP can flash .img files (and have even flashed recoveries this way a while back) but I guess I can't wrap my mind around the fact that you can flash a recovery while IN a recovery :D Thanks, all set now!
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] HaloTechnology:
I want to install but I can't of the WiFi 5ghz chennal is not fixed , is it fixed yet ?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] LuK1337:
Try it out and let me know.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] Sgace:
5ghz working fine for me on latest build (using channel 44)

Cheers
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] julesism:
I just dirty flashed 1128 build. still no 5Ghz WIFI here. I use channel 153. no biggie.

Only way I can get to TWRP is to power off and hold vol up+home+power. If I choose recovery from power menu, it just boots back to LoS. Is that normal?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] LuK1337:
Yeah, I'm working on that right now. For some reason tablet does the hard reset instead of warm reset on rebooting to recovery.

EDIT: Fixed.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] HaloTechnology:
hhmmm Still not fixed I will wait for a bit more :) thank you for letting me know :3
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] RolLz ALoT:
WOW, this rom is so good. I'm so happy I rooted my tab, thank you.

Anyone doing 8.x of the t710?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] sqs1shu:
It is wonderful that Lineage OS based on Oreo is already running on this tablet. Many thanks to ROM developers. It would be great to state prerequisites in OP. Reading through Lineage OS 14.1 of this tablet, bootloader version can be an issue.

I just got Galaxy S2 Tab 8 and am running Samsung Nougat which has very bad auto brightness. It seems to have 2 states and dim one is too dim and I had to turn off auto brightness. The light sensor works fine based on an App sensor diagnostics. Do you like auto brightness in this ROM (Lineage 15.0 of T713)? Appreciate any impression on this ROM. I know I will eventually move to this ROM based on Samsung track record of OS update.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] LuK1337:
[ cool stuff ]

I just released 8.1 builds on my AFH.

You can find them here ~ https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=234644
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] Dnorris55:
Where do you find gapps for 8.1?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] HaloTechnology:
Is the new TWRP now compatible with your rom ? Since 3.2 Oreo support has been added ?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] LuK1337:
I suppose so.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] josdehaes:
Thanks! Flashed clean and worked perfectly, but no gapps available yet it seems. 8.0 gapps won't flash. Bummer. Will restore backup and keep an eye on gapps :).

Restoring again to RR :-/.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] HaloTechnology:
It's seem like the 5ghz wifi not fixed yet
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] eturk01:
Not working section

[MENTION=5075128]LuK1337[/MENTION]

Can you add to OP "not working": WiFi 5Ghz channels above 144 please?

That would help those in U.S. immediately see they may not be able to connect to 5Ghz.

Thanks!!
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] eturk01:
Sound/song plays randomly. It's 8 tones like bells.

Can figure out what is paying it so need to keep rebooting when it plays.

Ideas?

--------

Clean install. Formatted system then installed. Working great!
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] LuK1337:
Can you add me on Hangouts? I may have a fix for that.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] LuK1337:
[MENTION=2060877]HaloTechnology[/MENTION] can you try latest build? All 5GHz channels should be working from now on.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] HaloTechnology:
Are you kidding man ? Of course I will thank you for your awesome work as soon as I flash I will report back to you :D

Okay I have installed and tried it yesterday wifi is indeed working though it's says my microsd is currupted even though it's not I am not sure why :(

One thing opengapps won't install on it if you use 8.0 version I had to get unofficial 8.1 one .

Do you mind if I ask why the microsd says it's currpted ? Is it because of exfat ?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] InitializeSahib:
No fingerprint

Great ROM as always! :)

However, the fingerprint sensor doesn't work. When I try to set it up, it says that it is at the back of my "phone". Touching the sensor with my index finger, like it told me to, doesn't work. I'm on 12/20/2017.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] HaloTechnology:
Did the microsd worked for you ? When I flashed the latest build it's says my SD is corrupted .
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] LuK1337:
Exfat doesn't work in current build, I may fix it in next one.

EDIT: Please try latest build [MENTION=2060877]HaloTechnology[/MENTION], exfat / f2fs / ext4 should be working now.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] eturk01:
Great to have 5G again & the new auto-update rocks. Thanks!!

More general question:

How to keep an added system app after each update?

I like Pixel Launcher but updates remove it & I lose home screen setup.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] eturk01:
GPS

Just noticed GPS doesn't get satellites.

Don't know if it's a problem with all T713 or a ROM thing
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] josdehaes:
Switched to 15.1 version and seems to work great so far, no more WiFi issues. I only use my tablet at home so no need for GPS.

Hope we can customize buttons soon, the inverted back and recents button drives me crazy ;).

Thx!
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] eturk01:
Fingerprint has always worked for me, since v14.

Have you done a clean install (wipe system in TWRP then install)?

---------- Post added at 05:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:52 PM ----------

I looked into GPS because Smart Lock location unlock doesn't work. Need to unlock manually.

Maybe because location is weak, GPS never locks?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] InitializeSahib:
I used the 14.1 version of this, fingerprint worked fine on that. I have done a clean install.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] rlsxda:
Great ROM... But can't get some gapps to work... Maps and photos won't run. Installed 8.1 opengapps.

Most other features seen good to me.

UPDATE : reinstalled with just nano, then installed apps and all is working
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] nnortel37:
Wonderfull rom. All is fine. Thank you very much.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] HaloTechnology:
Thanks for the update and card works BUT I can't access it , every app says can't access and the setting apps says can't load at the moment .

Do I need to reformat the card ?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] LuK1337:
Next build will fix it properly.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] HaloTechnology:
Thanks for now and on it's my daily driver one thing is not working beside the SD card and GPS is there is slight laggings in UI overall not bad but there is some , just thought you should know.

Thank you man again for your great work !

Do we no longer need a special twrp for this?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] HaloTechnology:
TWRP 3.2 was released recenlty so use the latest stock

I can confirm it worked for me
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] egenesis:
Do you have link to the TWRP?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] LuK1337:
"twrp.me"

Thanks for quick response. I did find the tar file and used odin to apply it however I cannot go to TWRP recovery. Says "No Command".

https://dl.twrp.me/gts28vewifi/twrp-3.2.1-0-gts28vewifi.img.tar
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] LuK1337:
Don't boot to the stock ROM, that overwrites TWRP.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] egenesis:
Just realized that it overwrites. I got it figured out. This is my first samsung device. Thanks!!
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] andifor:
Hi

I realised, there are no updates on the LOS download page for the S2 8" tablet. Last build for the 14.1 version is some 2 weeks ago, but there are lots of changes to be included in the next build (https://download.lineageos.org/gts28vewifi/changes/)

At the same time there is more and more activity on a 15.1 version (according to this thread)

Some questions:

- will there be some more updates on LOS 14.1 with all the changes indicated for the next build? (I know, not a question to ask here!)

- has the LOS 15.1 build the same security patches as LOS 14.1?

[MENTION=5075128]LuK1337[/MENTION]: thanks for your work on this device! (and your androidfilehost page shows Tab S2 9.7, this was confusing for me ;o)
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] LuK1337:
1. Probably?

2. Yes
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] Sgace:
Does the root addon for 14.1 work on these builds?

Thnx for the great rom by the way, works very good till now.

Cheers
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] Sgace:
Ok, thnx:good:
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] andifor:

2. As I currently don't miss anything with LOS14.1, I'll wait for an official version

Anyone know how to kill the capacitive button backlights on this? Given that it's not Samsung-based software, the usual apps to do so don't work.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] LuK1337:
Disable it in settings. Latest builds make that possible.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] chrisliphart:
Perfect. I was on 12/25 because 12/26 broke my wifi. 12/29 works perfectly and kills the backlights on the buttons. Now I can read at night again. Thanks for all your hard work!
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] josdehaes:
Great! Thx.

Will there be an option to fully disable the hardware buttons and use a navbar? Samsung button placement drives me nuts ;)
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] sketchman16:
Nice. Still has the local video playback issues from 14.1. I also could not use Titanium Backup to restore my apps. Normal batch restore in the app didn't work and neither did creating a .zip of the backed up apps and flashing in TWRP.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Original Android Development] josdehaes:
Latest build is very stuttery it seems. Anyone else have this? Previous build was very smooth.

Question regarding Oreo

hi

I’ve been following this for a while now, and finally take the plunge and installed 15.1 lineage on my tab s2 t713. Everything works perfectly and it’s really quick etc.

My question is ...... is it possible to run two apps together side by side? In the past when I’ve split screen apps one app freezes as such whilst you view the other app, then unfreeze’s when you tap on the app again...... then the other app freezes till you touch that app / side of the screen again.

I have a very specific need for running a certain 2 apps side by side totally live and updating.

Is this possible and is there anyone who can help.

I was expecting Oreo to deliver this functionality
