I have to say, I find it so strange how everything else is running smoother then N, yet even after all this time you can't get the wifi working.

Is the wifi hardware in the S really so out of date?

I have to say, I find it so strange how everything else is running smoother then N, yet even after all this time you can't get the wifi working.

Is the wifi hardware in the S really so out of date?
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] jimrfraser:
Its because they dont like to finish projects.Developer were working on version 15 then all of a sudden it was 15.1

Already faced facts
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] DarkExistence:
To answer this, chagallwifi ships with two different wifi modules. The path is missing to it in 15.0/1 and the symlink to connect both models of the wifi modules is broken and is complicated to re-write. Have fun trying to do it. All the source is up and public for you to attempt to get it working if you wish.

The Tab S hardware is four years old this June. Its not so much the out of date aspect its more so the code aspect and working with Marshmallow code from samsung (which is very meh, wasn't done correctly for the tab s) to work on Oreo, 2 years later firmware.

Faced facts? All support for 15.0 was dropped by lineage so what do you want us to do? Build a rom with nout-dated source while everybody else develops? Think before you even attempt to write a comment please, its the types of you that make projects like this dead. You have NO idea how hard we have been working to get everything stable. We have real lives, jobs, families and friends aswell, this is a bloody hobby for god sake we don't get paid for it so even if we didn't want to finish a project we don't have too. How long does it take for you to understand that?

We HAVE 15.1 booting and running besides WIFI, as I said. Its currently in the EXACT same state as the 15.0 build I released to allow you guys to TRY the oreo builds we were working with, and I will not be releasing any more builds for you guys to test or providing any more updates due to some of the non-appreciative comments we receive on here over the last while. Once a working build is ready it will be released, and 'if' we decide to work on P I will not be releasing a test build for the people who like trying early releases unless I get asked for it specifically in a PM. I tried to be nice because this is a smaller community then most and these are some of the responses I get. Crazy. Majority are fine but the minority ruin it for the majority.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] ElsaReyes:
I wish I could help try to get it working, sadly I have no idea how to do all that. Honestly it amazes me that you guys can, and I really do appreciate all the work you do. I dunno if it sounded like I was being critical, or complaining, but I wasn't. :)
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] CHGICEMAN:
Please ignore the comments from the users who do not appreciate your work. I am glad that through your work, my SM-T700 does not belong to the old iron.

Thank you DarkExistence and all other developers.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] Sprelle:
I am one of the silent majority, patiently and silently awaiting new and exiting builds.

I am deeply saddened that a few impatient and rude people can have such a large impact on the developers.

My hope is that DarkExistence and his friends will ignore the ignorants, and be assured that their efforts is much appreciated.

Best Regards

Morten, Bergen, Norway
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] DarkExistence:
Because there are genuine people here as the comments above have shown ^ (thanks for the support!)

WiFi is working***** on chagallwifi.

****It requires a bunch of ADB commands so no new build until we manage to transfer it over to the actual device tree. We know whats broken now, just a matter of fixing it.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] Parsival1973:
Yeeessss. That is great to hear Dark... I can't wait to see it when it is ready... I really appreciate all the time and effort you guys have put into it. I wish I had the knowledge to be more than just someone rooting for you on the sidelines...

I too will also tell you to please ignore the ignorant masses. I think that if they can't appreciate you and the teams working on this (in your spare time with no pay no less) that they should either do the work themselves or resign themselves with running stock unmodified ROMs.

[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] eberhardweber:
This is amazing news! I too have to jump in to say that some users here on XDA simply do not seem to fully understand that any one project - and as such any one device - can live or die on the time and work of just one single person.

It often seems to a first-time flasher, or someone not so intimately familiar with Android development, that you can find everything and anything on XDA, but this couldn't be further from the truth. Some devices attract lots of attention, others nothing at all. I've used several devices where development for it has seemingly picked up at one point, only to die as soon as it got going, attracted a moderate amount of users, and became too difficult for maintainers to handle.

I believe the situation here is simply that a lot of Tab S variant users have simply gotten accustomed to an unparalleled level of community support for their devices, which has led to unrealistic expectations. This is a huge compliment to the maintainers, and should be a warning to users who don't understand how special this device is in terms of the level of support it receives.

That we still have an up-to-date LOS for the device is testament to the perseverance of the developers, and I for one am immensely grateful for the continued ability to use LineageOS on my tablet. I made a lot of research before buying this device a few years ago and having access to LOS builds was the biggest reason of all. I remain impressed with the software every day and it has made using the device a fantastic experience.

There are some folks here that are taking this fact for granted, and taking things for granted in your life is never a good idea. Thanks for your work.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] CHGICEMAN:
Just great. Thanks alot.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] ElsaReyes:
:D

Awesome! :D

Thank you for all the hard work on this! <3
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] Saison2018:
Thanks you so much

I have create an account just to be able to thanks you for your works.

All of you guys in XDA are genius, finding time to do stuff here and have a real life outside.

I have many Android devices and it is a pleasure to look in XDA to find some firmware, tools and other addons for our devices.

Again, thanks a lot for your great job.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] tamudude:
Many thanks for the excellent work you (and the greater dev community) do. I am a geek when it comes to electronics and am eager to try new stuff out, however, I know how to respect the devs unlike some of the ungrateful people who have been not so gracious.

Please keep up the good work! The Tab S is still a great piece of hardware and we use it everyday!!
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] Mrodfr:
Thanks for the news and the work done for all members behind and you.

Now we have a hope again and we now can wait silently with our fingers crossed untill a new release came.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] jimrfraser:
See how easy that was.All you had to do was give people a heads up now and then instead of WHEN ITS READY.Asking for a ETA is only a request.Wnen I want to know something your darn right im gonna ask and keep asking

---------- Post added at 11:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:44 AM ----------

Just want to apologize. I am a very curious person by nature and it got the better of me.keep up the great work guys
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] DarkExistence:
And I have no obligation to provide those requests to you, all your doing by keep asking is frustrating us. 'See how easy that was' like are you for real? Can you not speak to people like that in my thread. Read the majority of devs threads and there is a post in the OP request NO ETA's because its a pain in the hole.

Read the thread, I gave many ETA's and for the last while we have been busy with irl, I have personally been and still am sick, people in our team have been moving countries and doing plenty of other stuff. If you don't get your desired ETA then thats not our problem. If we want to give updates we will, if we don't we won't so stop with this entitled crap where you think you deserve an ETA because you want it. This is XDA. Not a business.

And thanks for the 2nd part of the comment.

*Any Mods that do end up reading this thread on my request please keep all the comments visible, I would like people to understand how devs operate and not think they are entitled to everything. Its a great way for people to learn and treat others with respect.*

Above is a link to the latest working chagallwifi SM-T800 build. No this will not work on your T805, T700, T705, T805C T807C or whatever you have. Only T800.

Yes there are a lot of bugs in this still so please don't make comments saying 'this is buggy' etc as I will have them removed. Only post a bug report if you provide a logcat, and it has to be a major bug not the 'hangouts' issue or any of the other issues I mentioned below.

This is again for people who want to experience 8.1 on their Tab S and is nowhere near ready for people who want Daily Driver stuff. Flashing this is at totally your own risk and if you damage your device during the process I take no responsibility for it. Please refrain from commenting on this thread with how do I fix my device as I want to make it easier for me to find bug reports.

On first start it will say process system has stopped, just press OK and it wont come up anymore.

Main bugs:

Graphics Tearing when you open applications / go into recent app drawer etc

Camera broken

IR Blaster broken

Youtube app video playback is broken (browser version seems to work for some reason)

Browser/Chrome takes a while to load etc.

Occassionaly the volume slider moves but the actual sound doesn't adjust.

+More stuff we just haven't noticed yet.

Once a stable build is ready we will be moving to a new post rather then this 15.0 alpha thread.

I would also like to point out that the thread title has been updated to include TESTERS ONLY to avoid any of the previous responses we have here, and to make it very clear this isn't for daily driver use.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] tamudude:
Many many thanks!!!!
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] ElsaReyes:
Just thought I'd let anyone who tries this out know, in case you don't already know how to do this, if you get an error code 7 in TWRP while trying to flash the rom, all you have to do is on the computer, unzip the file, navigate to META-INF\com\google\android and open up the file updater-script in a program called Notepad++ and delete the first line. Then rezip and it will flash just fine. :3

---------- Post added at 05:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:09 AM ----------

Oh, one thing I was wondering, this isn't about a bug, or asking how to fix something, not having any problems yet. Just, what Gapps do I use for this?
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] ElsaReyes:
Okay I'm not sure if this qualifies as a bug. But no matter what file manager program I use, I can't view my sd card at all, and the internal storage shows up as empty. Just thought you should know. I hope it helps. :3
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] DarkExistence:
That's a bug, are you sure? Im able to access my internal storage with the built in file manager app. (I needed to to test stuff!) If that doesn't work get a logcat please.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] DarkExistence:
Just update to the latest twrp (flashable through your twrp now) and that fixes the error too
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] Laykun:
I have a question about this new rom, particularly about the devices drivers. Getting it to work with Android Oreo does that mean you've got new drivers that implement Android Oreos driver ABI, meaning we'll be able to flash all sorts of roms in the future with relative ease? Or does oreo allow you to not implement that ABI and instead this is a more hacked together approach?
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] ElsaReyes:
I can't get a logcat as I've already went back to 14, but I dunno if anyone else had this happen to them, but when I tried to use Titanium Backup to restore my app data, the program didn't work, it said no next to back up directory, and wouldn't even let me select a folder, everything just said access denied.

That seems to be a bug that effects a lot of things. Cause while yes, the internal storage shows up in the default file manager, nothing else seems to be able to access it, not even the programs.

Sorry I don't have a logcat for you. The part of my mind that makes rash decisions without thinking it through first will probably have me trying 15 again in like a day or so. Before switching back to 14 that time I'll make sure to get a logcat for you. :3
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] Gregzi:
Everything is normal here. Internal storage and SD card are both visible and fully operational.

But:

Google now and Play store are working nornally via WiFi, stock browser (and others I tried) have no access to internet...

Logs, right?
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] ElsaReyes:
Can you walk me step by step through what you did when flashing the rom? I've flashed roms tons of times, but I dunno, maybe I'm doing something wrong with this one and that's why none of it ever shows up. Or I'm using the wrong root file. I dunno.

Oh, but, do you use Titanium Backup? Is it even viewable in there?
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] Gregzi:
Clean install, Rom+gapps+magisk, set device as new, don't use TB.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] Laykun:
Answered this question myself by looking through the GIT then doing some research. It appears it does indeed use a system that makes it compatible with the new ABI system with Android Oreo, in that is uses the new HIDL system to adapt old libraries/runtimes to the new, or really any new, API interface. Just posting for those interested. I might start reading into this more to see if I can get some features of my T800 working under oreo.

[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] Schischu:
As my device starts to feel a little bit outdated, may I ask what repositories I need to get your 8.1 sources to build upon?

https://github.com/exynos5420/android_device_samsung_chagallwifi/tree/lineage-15.1

https://github.com/exynos5420/proprietary_vendor_samsung/tree/lineage-15.1

https://github.com/exynos5420/android_hardware_samsung_slsi-cm_exynos5420/tree/lineage-15.1

Did I miss anything?

Did you have to patch frameworkXY or any other hardware repositories?

I appreciate your help.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] jmendezk:
Hi!

Just installed the rom, and got it to work.

Can't get access to internal memory in some apps (Pocket Informant, Xplorer).

Installed Viper4Android, guitarhero version, and it woks fine.

Will do some more tests and comment.

Ah hey man welcome back! Just saw this now!

You need a few commits from our gerrit (i pushed stuff related to the new shim libs, you need the vendor commit for chagallwifi to get the wifi working, along with the wrapper etc. Basically all open chagallwifi commits/5420-common commits ) https://review.exynos5420.com , and you need a few stuff on lineage gerrit relating to slsi-cm stuff. I'll link them

Can you provide a klimtlte device tree? By the way, why do I always get errors related to "overlay" when compiling?

And can we communicate on telegram for the convenience of contact?
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] DarkExistence:
Trees will be fully released when they are out of pre-alpha state basically... Wifi devices first then LTE.

Gotta add this isn't a compilation help thread. Purely for feedback and bug reports on the ROM.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] CHGICEMAN:
Will there be test Roms for the T700 as well?
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] ¿GotJazz?:
[MENTION=6663552]DarkExistence[/MENTION] & [MENTION=2371134]Schischu[/MENTION] - I'm glad to see that Oreo on the SM-T800 is still being worked on. I'll keep checking back ...

Thanks,

¿GJ?
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] Schischu:
Thx! I'm back from vacation an will try getting it compiled.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] Schischu:
Ok was able to compile and flash the chagallwifi version on my chagalllte.

Now I have to figure out what is working and what not. :D
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] DarkExistence:
Haha nice! I've been busy with exams so haven't had much time to update, feel free to push stuff too our gerrit! Everything helps :)
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] Pgm094:
Hey! I was wondering, what would be necessary to make a Samsung device compatible with treble?
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] Schischu:
Yeah, trying on getting RIL running. But I have a funny problem. I can not get usb working, not with a chagallwifi build and also not with my fresh chagalllte build. Completely dead, dmesg on host does not register a usb device on unplug/plug.

Before I start digging to deep, did you ever have such a problem?
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] Schischu:
Oh my, everytime I think that porting new version is getting easier, google is changing everything.

The whole day was basically creating shims for ril, gps and camera....

No idea yet how this new service hidl stuff works. :D

[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] jimrfraser:
Development stopped?
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] wings02760:
I think where it's in alpha stage there are a lot of things they are working on to get it fictional. Right now I believe this ROM is basically for those who want to either help work on it or to just have some experience on what the feel of it will be. Don't ask for ETA's for updates, they will come when the developers want to publish them. Once again alpha ROMs aren't really meant for everyday use because there are many things that are incomplete. BTW developers really don't like being rushed to put out updates, they do it on their own time for free, so they can update their devices and help others keep theirs up to date, and technically developers don't have to share what they worked so hard to build. So please just wait patiently. If you want a stable ROM go to the mm ROM while you wait for this to exit the alpha stage
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] DarkExistence:
Took the words right out of my mouth :) We are working on projects other then 15.1 aswell in secret. :)
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] atakan33:
is this EmotionOS :o:o ?
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] Kholargol:
Don't need to stay on Marshmallow btw. LineageOS 14.1 works very well. And it's very fast, especially since recent updates a few weeks ago. My T700 works very very well with it.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] cyaclone:
Thank you for working on the Oreo for the SM-T800. It was interesting trying different ways to get things to work but that is what an Alpha is all about. Found it interesting that I could get Magisk on the first ROM but nothing that I could try would get it on the latest nor would SuperSU. Looks like we will wait and see how the Google apps can be setup to work. Thanks again for the efforts and hope they will continue to a final version. No logs to sent since have not been able to get that far. Looking great so far.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] Mrodfr:
How work LineageOS 15.1 on this tablet ? No reports means no problems (at least big) ?

I'm using AIOS at the moment but would like to try this ROM but I'm waiting a beta state first (as I'm sure a lots of us).

Thanks for the development actually and more.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] kaodd:
it's alpha, no more to say!
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] CHGICEMAN:
I do not want to annoy, but you can already learn from small larger result, how far you are with LineageOS 15.1?
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] jimrfraser:
No more development obviously
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] CHGICEMAN:
That would be a pity, but also partly understandable.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] DarkExistence:
well this is a total lie
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] tabletmen:
[MENTION=6663552]DarkExistence[/MENTION] [MENTION=4222965]deadman96385[/MENTION] We are curious about the development status of Lineageos 15.1 for our tablet. Maybe you can give us a new alfha build ?
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] jimrfraser:
Kinda funny how you only respond when someone calls you on the slow progress.Might as well just close the thread.Sorry reality hurts

---------- Post added at 06:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:10 PM ----------

Will also add you are very rude with your responses.Its only human nature to ask questions when a link goes up and and stays in a dormancy stage for so long.Can you blame us?(and i say us because i am definitely not the only one asking you)You need an attitude adjustment
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] DarkExistence:
I'm not sure what you mean I've replied to nearly every question asking for an ota and updates even though the OP clearly states not to? If that's not replying to only rude questions them I'm totally baffled.

I'm only "rude" to people who act like they know everything going on. Rather then saying the thread is finished you could have I don't know waited for me to reply to the guy. I'm busy with exams which are far more important and had my last one today.

As for updates we have all been busy. We are working on our other project more so then the devices rn and I was busy with exams , Deadman was moving back to the US, Thomas has been busy getting married and is on honeymoon and tincho is settling into a new job. So busy. Thread isn't "dead"

I'm not getting an attitude change. 99.9% of the people I meet say I've a great attitude :) sorry if my response in my 5 minutes of spare time today between exams wasn't enough for you. It's faster to reply to those to stop people like tabletmen actually thinking the thread is dead because of your answer vs what is actually happening which I would have explained when I got home tonight. If you don't want to be in this thread then please don't. The thread is staying open for people who want to try Alpha builds which are for people to provide bug reports on.

Your question is also answered in my answer to the other it :)
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] DarkExistence:
It's going slow but some progress is being made. As stated I've had exams so that's for the delay in the reply :) thanks for the support all the same.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] ApriliaM3:
I think you are the one needing an attitude adjustment... What an outrageous sense of entitlement.

Knock it off.

If things are not being done fast enough for you, perhaps try doing them yourself.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] Mrodfr:
Thanks for this answer (needed from time to time for user's hope). Hope your exams goes well of course and we will be happy later when we will see news for OS 8 for our beloved tablet.
