Hi there,

I also can confirm that lineage-18.1-20211103-UNOFFICIAL-gts210wifi is working für the T810 without the wifi problems. I just did step 1+2 from list pflyaz described at 5:24pm today.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] NielsPHK:
Did a clean install on my T810, and am getting this weird issue on some of my streaming apps. The playback will start fine and the video will run, but for some reason it scales the video wrong. So in stead of seeing the entire video I am seeing the too left corner. In another app it scales the right and left side off screen (so i can't see the scores in a football match) Anyone experiencing something similar? Any suggestions?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] grisu59964:
I'd like to have it, too. Thanks in advance!

Hi bmwdroid, totally new in this forum, but I have been following this thread for quite sometime now looking for stable LOS 18.1 for my SM-T810. Please also send me a copy of the lineage-18.1-20211103-UNOFFICIAL-gts210wifi so that I could test it out as well.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] bmwdroid:
@pidroo done
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] pidroo:
Thank you,. Already downloaded the file. It will take me some time to try it out, have to prepare the tab for a wipe. Will provide feedback as soon as a I can. Do you also have a copy of the stable rom LOS 17.1 for Sm-t810? I also want to try it out?. Thanks
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] abde1983114LILAH:
Well received thank you very much
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] bmwdroid:
Sorry I don't.

Before this ROM here it was on AospExtended-v7.3-gts210wifi-20210116-0501-UNOFFICIAL (AEX) which I've kept and afterwards on Havoc 3.12
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] pidroo:
I was looking for this ROM as well LOS 17.1 for SM-T810 for quite sometime now, before I saw your post for the 18.1. It seems this ROM for the SM-T810 does not exist or was pulled-out. A google search gives me 2 YouTube video and website, sharing instruction how to install LOS 17.1 or 17.0 on SM-T810, but all links directing to the ROM downloads are broken. Hope somebody could share some info on this. Thanks

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] dcaffeine8d:
It seems I have fixed the wifi issue on the lineage_gts210wifi-.20211123 by allowing wlan wakelocks. Using hktweaks, wlan wakelock seems to be blocked on this ROM by default so internet cannot recover when it goes into deep sleep. I'll keep this workaround for now and observe for a few days to see if I don't lose internet. Prior to this, I always have to reboot to get connected and turning wlan on/off doesn't do anything. Maybe someone can compare the settings under boeffla wakelock blocker for the working ROM (1103).
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] eszklar:
Hello: I too would appreciate a link to the T710 20211114 ROM please. Thank you.

Subsequent note: Just pulled down the file from post #2044. Please disregard the above.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] dcaffeine8d:
Updated to build lineage-18.1-20211208-UNOFFICIAL-gts210wifi with the same wlan wakelocks applied on boot (see post #2094) and it's been stable for 3 days. My internet keeps on working after a deep sleep. Seems to be the problem all along with the newer ROM builds. Glad I found the culprit.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] pidroo:
hi bmwdroid,

Thank you... Wifi connection is stable. Tried switching between bands and no issue so far. No AP connection issue as well or wifi drop out.

I am not sure if there was something I did wrong during the clean install of lineage-18.1-20211103-UNOFFICIAL-gts210wifi, but do you also experience the issue when charging the unit at off-state, that the charging animation will not update, then suddenly the phone will just reboot?

Also, very minor feedback, is it also happening at your end during boot, that lineage os logo kinda started in the side of the screen and will shift in the middle of the screen. I know it is minor, but I am wondering if this is only happening on my device.

Again thank you
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] pflyaz:
Hello @pidroo.

I can confirm both behaviors on my T810 running 20211103. On my T710 running 2021113, the boot logo is in the middle as expected but the auto-reboot behavior is the same.

Regarding the boot behavior, what I see is: "whenever the tablet has power plugged in the tablet does not stay powered off. When powered off, once the power cable is plugged in, the charging animation won't update and the tablet boots itself 10 or so seconds after the charging animation appears. If I power down the tablet with the power plugged in, the charging animation appears and then the tablet boots back up again by itself".

I agree both these behaviors are very minor.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] pidroo:
Thank you for confirming this minor issues, hope will be resolve on the next ROM update

Hey @bmwdroid. Struggling with WiFi problems since a year all day long. Could you please also send me the file? Thanks so much in advance!
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] dcaffeine8d:
Wo

Working on mine. I have a T810 flashed with the latest 20211208 update and enabled wlan wakelocks on boot. Internet has never gone away since then and haven't encountered any bootloops yet. Up and running for a week now. Did you magisk hide Netflix?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] Schaagi:
@dcaffeine8d: Thank you for your hint about hkTweak. I have tested it with the newest image from 20211208 and my Wifi is now running since 3 days without any break.

Best regards and merry christmas to all.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] bmwdroid:
I will but might it not be worth testing what @dcaffeine8d wrote first?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] daFreak99:
Hey @bmwdroid. Could you please also send me the file or a link to the old rom lineage-18.1-20211103-UNOFFICIAL-gts210wif? My wifi is very bad. Every 2 days i must restart the tablet to get wifi-connection. That's very annoying. Thank you :-)

[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] RobPr:
Thank you very much for this great work.

The only thing that is not working is the external (usb) camera.

I use it for a Flir one thermal camera, the new Flir app does not work with the stock android 7.

Now the app works but the camera not.

[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] vdelab:
Good morning,

After 5 years without changing any ROM on my Tab T810, it now came to a point many new app are not installing or working fine, so I took the decision to go for a custom Rom.

I have done it before, but on other tabs or phones. This is my first on my venerable T810.

By reading all the posts, it seem there might be some issues with the wifi on the 202112xx version of the ROM lineage18.1. Is it still the case?

The trick with the wlan wavelock does the job?

To be on the safe side, could anyone send me a way to have the 20211103 version which seems to be quite ok?

I would appreciate.

Thanks in advance

Vincent
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] bmwdroid:
@vdelab didn't try the trick yet but will send you a link to the file in my dropbox.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] vdelab:
Good evening all,

So I have done it. To start and try, I have used the 20211208 version file.

It went quite smoothly.

So far, I have no issue with wifi and most of my apps are well installed and functional.

I did not install magisk (yet) and I used the gapps-arm-11.0-mini-20211221.

I write "most of my apps", because indeed, there are some apps that do not appear any more in my Play store (labelled as "not compatible" with my device), which is quite weird.

Unfortunately, it concerns apps that I'd like to have (Netflix, ING banking,...) and also my navigation sailing apps (Boating Navionics) seems not able to connect to my account (systematic connexion error message).

I will try a little more to make it work, but if I don't succeed, then I will revert to the 20211101 version which seems flawless to most people (and which was kindly provided by @bmwdroid (y)).

Anyone has ideas about where it may come from, this apps uncompatibility issue?

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] cndv:
the application from the bank will not work on every rot device and navigation application, the location does not work, and probably on every version 18
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] aboulafia1901:
Hello ,

For Netflix ,install Magisk and MagiskHide Props ,but widevine will be L3 .It's ok for ING Banking Belgium with that also .
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] vdelab:
Thanks for the help

This is what is weird : my device is not rooted yet, just used the custom OS so far, but not the Magisk or any kind of superSU. So I do not understand why this particular bank app does not show. Other banking apps are fine (paypal, LCL, ...)

About the navigation. I have 3 navigation and maritime weather apps, and they do detect location properly. Only boating is reporting a connexion issue when asking to login and then looping back to connxion page.

Location looks ok with Maps and other.

Is location better with version 17?

Another App issue I noticed is that PLEX can't start as well.

Wel, I will try the magisk thing first, and see what it gives...
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] aboulafia1901:
The apps detect that the bootloader is unlocked and the knox is 1 .
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] vdelab:
Ok, and so, if I install magisk, will there be a way to mask this? I am still newbie regarding Magisk...
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] aboulafia1901:
I summarize : In magisk you must active magisk hide for all google play services and apps you want hide .,install Magishide Props module in Magisk . In a terminal with Su ,you type props and active the device finger for your tablet .you may verify safetynet in magisk .Normally it is ok . After that in parameters of Google play ,you wipe cache and data for certifying of the device . reboot the tablet . Normally it is ok and you have par ex Netflix in your search .
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] vdelab:
So,

I switched to the version 20211103 as I started to have issues with the wifi , with version 20211203.

I reinstalled all, and then did the trick with magisk and indeed now I see Netflix and it is working fine.

Plex and fingerprint are fine too.

I would say it is almost near perfect, except that my app navionics boating keeps crashing, as that I still can't install ING Banking France.

For ING it is not a big deal, but for boating this is really bothering as it is this tablet I use to navigate.

If course, I tried to uninstall and reinstall, reboot etc.

I have tried to hide it, but no change. Do you see any last thing I could try?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] RobPr:
I got a little further, the usb no longer works at all, not even with Odin
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] Max_Dee:
@vdelab - I've got the T810 and about to dive into the OS update for the first time. My Tab S2 has been dying a slow death recently and the speed is just woeful (Nougat)

Is it safe to assume that I cannot download the 20211103 ROM anywhere publicly and would have to ask @bmwdroid for a dropbox link to the file?

I will backup files prior to any work, but I'm not sure of the download location for the files.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] vdelab:
Hello @Max_Dee ,

Yes, I believe the 20211103 ROM is only via direct link with a developer. I am not sure I have permission to send the link. So yes, a contact with @bmwdroid is a safe bet.

Now regarding the upgrade itself, I would suggest either to do an old fashion backup, saving manually all your files and photos on a sd card (and then use the backup function of Android on Google for the apps and setup) or to use the TWRP backup, on a sd card as well. I never used the TWRP one...

If you have done it before, a long time ago like me, I would say the main change is about this device fingerprint and safety net stuff, where a third step ( after ROM and Gapps) is needed with magisk.

Except for my boating apps, I clearly like my tab more than before😅

Keep me posted good luck.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] HorstX:
Hello @bmwdroid

could you be so kind and also send me the link for the 20211103 version?

Thanks alot in advance
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] bmwdroid:
@Max_Dee @vdelab the ROM I still have kept I've downloaded directly from @ripee's GoogleDrive.

As long I don't get permission to post a link here, I will send links in individual PMs when asked to, which usually results in additional "likes" ;)
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] cucumbersmell:
I would appreciate is also!

Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] vdelab:
Good morning all (French time ;) )

After two days with the 18.1 20211103 version, a brief status :

- Globally good behaviour. No loss of Wifi, no reboot, no app hangs, GPS ok, .... So it is a 90% satisfaction... I'll give a big thanks to the developpers.

- the missing 10% are coming from :

- Battery : drains quite fast. Even when not used, it goes down at 5% an hour, and I did not find ways to really limit this rate. And when in use, I don't think it would last more than 5 hours :(​

- Some apps not working, I am not sure it is related to the ROM or to the unlocked status that magisk can't hide​

- fingerprint sensor not working to unlock the device, whereas it works to open so securized apps...​

​

the last point is quite minor, but the first 2 ones could be bothering, for me at least, unless there is some tweaks that I missed.

I will do a battery deeper survey (with betterbatterystatus) to see there what I can find, but I would welcome any advice, I would really like to stick with this ROM

Otherwise, I would have to revert to an older, but more "mature" ROM, maybe on LOS 16.1 ? Anyone has feedback about this ?

@+
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] bmwdroid:
That's peculiar.

Can't confirm it at all.

Mine is a bedside device and I don't charge more often than 2 or 3 times a month.

When not in use mine has 1%/d.

Perhaps it's a battery age problem on yours?

Confirmed but I can live gladly with that regarding the other possibilities like old stock or LOS17.1 or lower.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] vdelab:
Indeed , it is not a major blocking point.

The battery drain rate is more of a problem, and if you say you don't have it, then I will have to look for where it might come from in my setup. I had the same behaviour with the 202112 version.

With the stock android 7 ROM , I had quite a regular drain rate, like yours, So I would not point to the battery itself.

I wonder if it could be some calibration issue... I will try to go down to 0% until it actually stops and do a full charge and we'll see.

I'll keep you posted.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] RobPr:
Is it possible to send me the link for the 20211103 version to?

[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] vdelab:
Hello all,

Maybe three dumb questions, especially those having no battery drain issues:

- have you installed a kernel manager, and if yes, which one?

- which version of Gapps did you install (mine was the 3.6 mini)?

- not battery related but more on flashing : when changing from version of custom ROM, do you use trwp backup (data) to restore your apps and data? Just to ease the test and try of other ROM without having all to reconfigure again manually...

Thanks

Hello,

Some additional info since this morning.

My navigation apps is now working. What I did was too unhide it in magisk, restart and then hide it again, and now it connects!

Regarding the battery, looking for people who addressed that in other post, I did a wipe of the cache and dalvik while in recovery mode in twrp.

And it seems to have done the trick.

In airplane mode, very little consumption, and a"normal one" when connected. I'll keep an eye on it.

So now, it seems there are no issue at all (or very minor ones).

Thanks to all
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] Wojomo:
Dear @bmwdroid ,

Would you mind having me also access to the 20211103 version?

I flashed the 20211208 which seems to work pretty fine but after 1 day I also encounter this disconnecting WIFI issue. I can fix it with the airplane mode, but only for a couple of minutes…

Thanks in advance…and a great New Year’s Eve to everybody around!🥂

Hey @bmwdroid could you hook me up with a link to the 20211103 build as well?

I just flashed my T810 to the 1208 build and it's mostly useable. Battery life is good, haven't had any wifi issues yet, but Chrome hangs after a minute or so of usage and several streaming apps are broken. Sounds like 1103 is the most stable, so I'd like to give it a go before digging deeper into fixing these issues.

Thanks for all the help you've given folks here!

Hi all,

I have an old T810, and have flashed LineageOS 18.1 onto it, but am suffering the Wifi issue (other than that, the device is working far better that it ever has!). Reading the thread, it seems that the 20211103 version is the one I need. Can @bmwdroid please share a link :-)

Also, when I install GAPPS (pico/nano etc), I get an error message saying I don't have enough system space. How do I get around this issue?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] bmwdroid:
I will send a link later.

Did you "Format data" before flashing Gapps?

Btw I'm only using BitGapps as even OpenGapps pico sometimes I had problems with.

Hello @bmwdroid may I also have the link to the 1103 build? Many thanks
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] Axe Homeless:
Hey there :)

Damn, it's been a while since I last did all the rooting and wiping and flashing, feels a bit like I'm 23 again.

I have the 715, and also have the wifi issue, so if there is a build who makes it go away, I'd be glad.

Otherwise I would just want to say thanks for all the work. Reminded me how much fun the android community used to be, and how great a modern android tablet can be. Maybe'll upgrade to a newer galaxy tab at some point if this doesn't pan out, but I just wanted to say I'm truly grateful.
