I noticed a lot more recent work has been done with 14.1. Does it make sense to downgrade to that ROM?

My big issues with this ROM is the slow battery charge and issues with Netflix compatibility. Other than that it has been stellar as a daily driver.

How this forum and this particular topic makes you think you are reaching Samsung with your comment?

Go write Samsung support if you want to rant at them. Here it is just inappropriate.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] :
Samsung employees read this forum, I can feel it ,.,
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] gellmar:
I worked for Samsung and I can assure you - nobody cares about third-party forums. Even if you are inside, it takes 3 years for your idea to be implemented, but neither your name will be credited for it nor you will be compensated for the idea saving millions of $.

Those who want support old stuff just leave Samsung or stay but do volunteer on what makes them interested. So blaming Samsung here, on Sammobile or anywhere else is totally useless. Reaching support individually is same as useless, especially if you have 5 year old model. The only way to influence such big vendors is coordinated media campaign including XDA, Sammobile, Android Police, Medium, Reddit and other influental portals, to fix issues found in SUPPORTED devices (ie Note 8, Note 9, Note 10, S9 and S10).

[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] ¿GotJazz?:
Goodness, I am glad to see that a SM-T800 15.x ROM is still being worked! I have been running LOS 14.1 for a looong time now, and I have been seeing more and more problems with apps crashing and other functional failures.

Our SM-T800 is still a great tablet, and I really don't want to buy a new tablet.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] gserp4sox:
Not sure that this statement is accurate for this rom, as we have not seen any significant changes to it by [MENTION=6663552]DarkExistence[/MENTION] in quite some time............hopefully he is working on even better things for our beloved Tab S. His work has always been exceptional.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] DarkExistence:
Not just my work, the work of the 5420 team mainly [MENTION=4817899]thompatry[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5214636]gellmar[/MENTION] !

Yes we are working on it for the last few weeks again.

Why no love for the SM-T807V after all these years?!? Is it that difficult to crack the snapdragon? Why no roms
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] lordjan1986:

[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] mogm1:
How do you know this?
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] lordjan1986:
Trust me, it is, there has been no updates in the last 6 months or more, except the word that they presumably are working on it. No no no, this rom is dead.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] gserp4sox:
Maybe [MENTION=6663552]DarkExistence[/MENTION] would be kind enough to set the record straight. Is this rom dead?
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] kaodd:
[MENTION=6663552]DarkExistence[/MENTION] we still waiting for an answer !
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] drmarble:
I'm not dead yet

Work is still continuing slowly. You can see some work here: https://review.exynos5420.com/#/q/status:open

There are problems with the gps (no locks) and camera.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] kaodd:
thx for the info
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] henrywhtin:
Thanks

Is that mean it may get Android 9?
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] DarkExistence:
Work is, as drmarble said, continuing slowly. Personally it has been my first semester of university so a totally new enviroment that I had to get used to and started a job aswell so my time is limited.

So while not dead, its just very slow. The tabs are just becoming too awkward to update with the resources (blobs etc) available to us so lots of things just dont work

edit: to show how little time I have. I literally just unlocked my pixel 3xl for the first time, one year and a month later. This is the first custom rom I have installed for 5 months (last was a tab s build)
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] ¿GotJazz?:
Thanks for the update [MENTION=6663552]DarkExistence[/MENTION] ... Totally understand the impacts of heading off to college with a new environment, lifestyle, and workload.

Focus on getting good grades and work on the ROM as time allows.

I, for one, will still be here.

I wish my Linux driver debugging skills were more up-to-date. It's been decades since I last wrote any significant code. I have a pretty powerful compiler (a 24 thread Ryzen 3900), but I don't know how to debug the ROMs when something isn't working right.

Cheers,

GJ
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] Moirae:
Is this rom daily driver worthy if you don't care about flashlight or camera? are people still having problems with netflix/video playback? That's pretty much all I care about so any input would be appreciated.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] chocoTaquito:
I tried it out for a little while and Netflix was still an issue and I couldn't get it to work. I got random freezes almost every day if I used the tablet for long periods of time so I guess it's not quite daily driver worthy yet but it's still a pretty good job by the developer of the rom. Let's hope for development to be kept alive and I'm sure this will be a hell of rom for everyone to use
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] RuDy7:
Hello,

I search on forum and I didn't see OFFICIAL Lineage OS rom for TM-800.

Exist it ?

[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] mogm1:
Is there any news [MENTION=6663552]DarkExistence[/MENTION], I am just curious :)

P.S. long time user off your 14.1 build
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] j1gga84:
I guess android 9 will never come to the Tab S.

The device is just to old, some models have an exynos processor which is extra difficult to develop for.

Even if there will be android 9 some day it will never be as stable as android 7 (LOS 14.1) so I would definetly stick on 7 because it is solid and security patch level and stock kernel still gets updated.

Compared to an up to date tablet the Tab S is quite very slow so during the next year there will be an update to the Tab S4, S5e or S6 from my side I guess and these tabs will get android 10 on stock which is much better than LOS or any other custom ROM ever can be, especially the camera but that are only my 5 cents.

I am happy with the development we have, everything additional makes no sense in my eyes.

Hello.

I'm a beginner, and sorry for my "poor" English.

Just one question please.

Any chance to fix camera issue ?

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] DarkExistence:
Unfortunately not, I am no longer maintaining the Galaxy Tab S and it has been resorted to lying idle in my bedside locker.. unless i just get a sudden urge to work on it but unlikely, its becoming too difficult to work on with age.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] alias4ever:
Well I for one appreciate all your hard work in developing the ROMs for our Tab S [MENTION=6663552]DarkExistence[/MENTION]. ;):good:

My question to you is which ROM and version would find to be the most stable with the best battery life? Thanks again so much for all your hard work!

P.S. What tablet do you have now and are you doing custom ROMs for it? I would love to stay updated with your ROMs. :D
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] welton:
It's sad to hear you are no longer maintaining it, but I understand there are other priorities in life. Thank you very much for your work on this rom and maybe someone will keep the good work you started!

What's the difference between vanilla and deathly?

Regards
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] nicodebie:
deathly allows more customisation, thats the one i run. stable rom and monthly updates. i use it with pico gapps
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] wellersl:
I just dropped in here out of pure curiosity. Frankly, I'm amazed Nougat is available for these, and at the performance level it achieves. I just recently ran a benchmark, more as a stability test than anything, and I'm blown away that a tablet released July 2014 still ranks as highly as it does.

Anyway DarkExistence, Thanks ever so much for what you've done and all that you do. Just remember to charge that jewel periodically.

Please stay safe and healthy!

It should also work on T805 but without network.

[ROM][UNOFFICIAL][10] LineageOS 17.1 for Samsung Galaxy Tab S (SM-T700, SM-T705, SM-T800, SM-T800, SM-P600)

Hello friends, I tried to update my old Samsung Galaxy Tab S devices with the latest Android 10 (Lineage 17.1). I would like to make the build available for you guys as well. Special thanks to the teams at Exynos5420 and LineageOS for the...

xdaforums.com

And yes, that's Android 10 and I'm using it now! Not perfect but good enough.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] nozeit:
The 14.1 build still has a lot of bugs and a bunch of video issues. This build has no wifi? Seriously? I know you stated up front no wifi, but what developer does that? DE: Are you actually making changes or just self promoting and passing on builds?
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] tayyh89:
Yeah man, I'm gonna come back only after that's working! :p

Waiting for this to be more mature (especially Wifi!), and spawning a few other roms (Lineage, ACIP and EMOS). Can't wait to try out EMOS when it's out. Still running LDOS on the Tab.

Thanks for the work! :)
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] DarkExistence:
Are you serious?

1. Read the op? It clearly states no WiFi.

2. Read the title. ALPHA.

3. Lineage 14.1 is as stable as it's going to get for this device. Video scaling was fixed on our end, and I've not had the issue since April 2017. Some.peoole have but have not provided logs so what do you want us to do? Fix our ROM which we aren't getting the issues?

4. I clearly state in the OP it's just for people who want to see what it's going to be like and clearly say it is NOT for daily driver, and again I state that it's clearly for people who want to try the O experience on the tab s.

5. We do this for free, why would I be self promoting myself? It's totally done in our free time. Where does it state that I can't post a ROM if I don't like too? I don't even have to post this if I didn't want too, but I was asked to and I was nice enough too. So if you don't want it just ignore it.

Before complaining about the only team keeping these devices alive, how about you actually read the stuff and think about how we are just people. Gosh.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] DBCAB:
I completely agree with dark here the devs are doing us a nice favor for creating these roms for us in the first place, and for free, and this guy who complained is a junior member with 21 post and most of those are complaints I agree if he don't like something maybe just use another rom or stock lol.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] robhug:
And what is so hard to understand in "unofficial, alpha , experimental..." and etc written everywhere ? For me it's so simple , want everything working and no bug: stay stock

Some knowledge and want more customisation; root or use a stable custom rom

And if you don't care of majors issues or bug and love to test new stuff and new android versions use this rom, that's all ^^
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] ElsaReyes:
What's LDOS? I don't think I've seen that one.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] dwarfer66:

[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] king3opobn:
What are you retarded? Tell me, which developer has released a very very early releasee for us flashing whores? Nobody but this one. So get your pregnant teenage ass quite and be thankful, because technically, your tablet is never supposed to get updates again. Go and be thankful someone got you Android 7.1 ported

It's kinda dumb to complain about an alpha release
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] kkozma:
Is ADB working for anyone?
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] DarkExistence:
I dont think he realises that this is XDA 'Developers', where people actually like trying alpha things..

It was working for me, and then stopped suddenly for some reason. Another bug to look into! :D

Oreo on Tab S?

Web! I would like to test it on T700 and report feedback.

Thanks a lot
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] DarkExistence:
its being worked on by deadman atm
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] nozeit:
You keep saying "our" and "team" and ignoring the rest. Do you actual develop or are you taking someone else's work and posting it? I ask as you don't seem to be willing to address issues that were raised with the previous ROM so I am assuming you have no control over fixes.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] Phreaker47:
Yeah but do you even lift bro? Seriously, take your trolling **** elsewhere. You obviously haven't been around here very long. Nobody owes you anything.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] moejoe88:
Thanks for this man! Glad you've been around long enough to know to ignore the trolling d-bags. Will be keeping an eye on this.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] marti201:
Wait... I thought our tablets didn't have the hardware to support an S-Pen
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] DarkExistence:
We develop. Eg: our very own [MENTION=4925642]tincho5588[/MENTION] has fixed RIL aka data for Samsung devices on Oreo. Managed to create a sensor wrapper to allow devices to boot. And that is just two *latest* examples from *one* member of our team.. yes.. team. Maybe I dont do the bulk of the work, but I sure do a lot to get chagallwifi going. Maybe you need to look up what team effort does. Every commit pushed has a bit of help from everybody, be it testing the commit, writing the commit and so on Maybe you should actually take a look at our Gerrit, the lineage Gerrit and our github before you actually start making assumptions. It's a team effort. Hence the 'exynos542X Team', no just one person. We do have control over the fixes but some things just cannot be fixed. If you do not like our ROMs, go write your own rom, not using deathly kernel, not using our trees, and do it yourself. We do not want people like your attitude using our ROMs. If you can't see that from the amount of people who liked previous post and dissed yours, then your living in the wrong universe.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] DarkExistence:
Thanks for that, woops lol. Copied it from our n1awifi thread which does have an s-pen
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] kkozma:
I'm trying to build it as well to try and throw my hat in to help. I have a build that boots, but no ADB. For that matter USB doesn't appear to work all. Ie my machine doesn't even see it connected. I tried switching the build to an ENG build to force non-secure ADB, but that doesn't work either. No ADB makes it tough to debug without a logcat. lol! I did find the copy logcat option in the deathly auditor which helps some, but it's not an ideal solution.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] DarkExistence:
figured out the ADB issue, will send you a PM later on if you so wish.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] kkozma:
Yes, please. That would be great.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] Orion116:
Listen. I one of the leaders of Team Exynos. I used to do some of the bug fixing but have since been to busy to work on any device. [MENTION=6663552]DarkExistence[/MENTION] has been learning a lot and he has helped fix multiple things on several devices. Now if you want sh** fixed post friggin logs like requested as none of the team has any of these issues. As of now we have moved from 7.x to 8.x these builds are alphas for those that want to help fix bugs by posting logs. If you do not know how to pull logs do not flash the ROM as you are just noise distracting darkexistence from trying to fix bugs. ✌️
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] LenAsh:
This type of "comment" is not in the spirit of "development" is it?

If you cannot live with the current status, please try something else that will suit you better.

XDA is about collaboration... . Remember this is FREE stuff, borne out of enthusiastic efforts. We don't want to dampen that.

Thanks for your understanding.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] nozeit:
I am sure there are exceptions, but no wifi, aka wifi doesn't work period, is pretty rare even for an alpha.

"blame lineage, not me " , that answered my other question.

Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] Gregzi:
Standby of my Tab is insane in Oreo... I forgot about it for a while.

Last charge was 4 days ago - remaining 88 days... I know that I don't have any connections active (obvious reasons) but still....
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] vecna:
Yea its zero connections, had the same thing when messing with TW MM, the radio is one of the biggest power draws if not using the screen, or processing much.

I dont see anything in Oreo that would improve battery life by any great factor.

Also you can only begin to start looking at power consumption with a full app load, the os is least of problems.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] praveenvj:
Is there a plan to port this to SM-T705? Much appreciated and requesting in advance.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] DarkExistence:
no eta's.. please.. as the OP says. This is harder then it seems... and harder then we first thought.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] praveenvj:
Thanks for your reply

Not looking for ETA. Just checking if we will get a version for T705 as it is already being developed for T800. I am not sure how difficult it is to port from one version to another.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] hans william:
+1

I wish some day the dev would release LOS 15 for our T705 too,

Thank you very much dear Dev
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] robhug:
How is it going with the wifi issue? if wifi is "kinda" fixed (don't need rocking stable wifi on alpha ^^) I'll use this rom for sure , if screen, storage and wifi works its all I need to use it.

Take your time and good luck :)
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] DarkExistence:
wifi still isn't working. More complex then we first thought.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] Alpha1BA:
should rename team "NO ETA (model and v)"

just enquiring is a T805 on the cards?
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] Parsival1973:
Seriously!!! Grow up... They have no obligation to do anything for anyone. Rude and disrespectful remarks like this just negatively influence the situation... I mean why would they want to bother if this is how they get treated. We are lucky enough to have groups like them doing this. They don't get paid for it, and it takes away from their spare time/life.

So before making comments like this why don't you try and do it yourself.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] DarkExistence:
So you call us something bad, then you ask a question and expect a reply? Lol. Read the OP. No ETAs.

the source is all available on github for you buddy. good luck fixing wifi! I sure have been trying for the last few weeks.

Plus there is plenty of nougat roms updated weekly for you, so... :)
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] mordeith:
that made my night

also,thanks dude
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] ¿GotJazz?:
Thanks! Very glad that Oreo is being investigated for our SM-T800s. It's been a great primary tablet for my family, and we still get a ton of use out of ours.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] Alpha1BA:
I was refering to all those asking for eta's!!!! not you!!!! (im on youre side ffs!!!))) anyway... thanks for that will take a look n yeah im well aware of the others I just prefer yours!!

Cheers
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] king3opobn:
Awesome! I'm also running linage 15.1 on my s7 edge.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] ElsaReyes:
Not asking for an ETA, just curious as to how every things going?

[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] Android4Win:
Will there be a LTE version of this rom? I still do not know why I bought T805. I never used LTE :confused:

It's frustrating that I see T800 on every website all the time, but not for T805. (Android 8)
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] DarkExistence:
Yes we are working on all the devices.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] Kholargol:
Before someone else asks: by "all the devices", you mean T800 variants only or also T700 variants ?
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] DarkExistence:
all the devices that we support.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] yang_w:
So, is there a lineage 15.0 kernel available now? I want to compile for my T705
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] DarkExistence:
We haven't publicised our working one yet. Once we get functional builds for the majority of our devices we will.

I mean we have skipped 15.0 now and are close to getting 15.1 booting. WiFi most likely still will not work until we fix the issue though.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] CHGICEMAN:
Thank you for all the awesome work you do in your free time. I'm curious when the 15.1 for my SM-T700 comes.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] Limakos:
When it's ready and stable
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] DarkExistence:
definitely dont have a booting 15.1 build o.O (no wifi)
