That's kind of what the "LineageOS 18.1 Unofficial" devs said ;-) Their support is rudimentary and I found it to be not stable. Since there is a good chance that the status of this 14.1 build is similar, I will stay with stock ROM for now, mostly due to lack of time. I will report back of course when I get around to it. Thanks!

Hello! Which of these micro g are suitable for T815?

Also, for normal open gapps is my selection correct? Thanks

(Arm, nano and "seven.one" i(t doesn't type me the number)

View attachment 5740115
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] MSe1969:
For the Gapps, your selection is OK - the important part is ARM (and not ARM64 or x86*) and 7.1 - the flavor "nano" is OK, I recommend "pico" normally - as long as you don't choose a larger bloat package than nano, all should be fine.

In regards to microG, your screenshot shows the ROM download area of the "LineageOS for microG" project, which offers LineageOS builds with pre-installed microG. As you can see, they do not offer any more any ROMs for the T-815, so this is the wrong place to look. You don't need a ROM, you need three apk files to download and install.

To simply download and afterwards install the microG apk files, the easiest option is to install F-Droid, add the microG repository and then download the three apps "GSF Proxy", "GMS Core" and "Fake Store".

Alternatively, you will find the APK files below for manual download:

https://github.com/microg/android_packages_apps_GsfProxy/releases/download/v0.1.0/GsfProxy.apk

https://github.com/microg/GmsCore/releases/download/v0.2.25.223616/com.google.android.gms-223616050.apk

https://github.com/microg/FakeStore/releases/download/v0.1.0/FakeStore-v0.1.0.apk

(I've realized, that a new tag for GmsCore was just released a couple of minutes back, so maybe F-Droid will still offer you the last outdated tag from February, therefore maybe better to use the manual download or wait 1-2 days, until F-Droid updates accordingly.)
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] phaleg:
Thanks man!

I installed it with a super clean flash, w iping everything including memory card and installed from USB

Now I am trying to put back the apps I need, 2 things I am missing:

- AdAway (it says not suitable for my tablet on Fdroid and cannot install also from Github), but before I had it, what I do wrong?

- I cannot find the dark theme mod in settings

Thanks again
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] shutdown-h_now:
Get AdAway 4.3.6 from F-Droid Archive. It's AFAIK the last working version for LOS 14.1
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] phaleg:
Great, it works!

Now I am trying to put back Vanced Youtube, but it requires Magisk and I have already SuperSU addon...

Should I remove that add-on before putting the Magisk?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] MSe1969:
I myself don't use Magisk, but as far as I know, Magisk takes care itself to remove other root solutions, but better to remove SuperSU before manually. Also, better read carefully before, which version to use, this is Android 7.1, and at least for certain devices, you can't use the most recent version. Maybe others can step in here.

Independent from Magisk, why do you want to use YT vanced? I am using NewPipe, which - at least on a first glimpse - offers all the important things like background playing, easy downloads, no ads... It is lean, FOSS, has no "colorful bling-bling" and basically simulates a web browser, so no patched Google code, where you still don't know, "what else" it does...
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] MSe1969:
Exactly!
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] shutdown-h_now:
SuperSU is deprecated since 2018. Magisk 25.2 (the recent version) works fine with your 14.1-builds for this device. I use it for AdAway, AFWall+, Amaze and Titanium Backup.

@phaleg

I fully agree with @MSe1969! NewPipe works very well and is fast, no ads or other delays. If YouTube breaks, an update for NewPipe by the dev team is only a few hours away. Therefore use the NewPipe upstream repository within F-Droid. That's the most actual repo.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] phaleg:
Thanks to all of you for the advices, so far, I got all of these

-removed SU and installed latest Magisk

- Installed Fdroid for AdAway and New Pipe

- Installed my lovely Vanced Youtube also :D

Very happy to run a custom OS that is faster than the ones based on Android 10
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] shutdown-h_now:
Probably there's no system dark theme in Android 7.1/LOS 14.1. The app you want to use in dark mode must supply this feature. But I'm not absolutely sure ...
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] MSe1969:
Android 7.1 / LineageOS 14.1 does not offer a system dark theme.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] phaleg:
Hello!

One more question here, I did a super clean install of the ROM and read the initial thread shows that it should be SELinux "safe", not sure how to type it in English.

When I turn the tablet on, it shows a message in bootscreen that kernel is not seandroid enforcing

I have magisk now, but also before with the Lineage SU addon, it was the same, since first boot after flash

is it normal?

Also how do I verify in this android that my unit is not encrypted?

Thanks again ^^
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] MSe1969:
Yes, unfortunately. It's a bogus message.

The ROM indeed is SELinux enforcing, but the Samsung bootloader does some weird checks (probably for something specific in the original stock ROM) and then wrongly issues that message.

I know that the TWRP has a cosmetic patch to let that message disappear, as far as I guess, the boot.img must contain the string "SEANDROIDENFORCE" at it's end to make the Samsung bootloader not show this message.

But that is "cosmetics", you can verify the SELinux state in a shell session with the command 'getenforce' or also in the "about phone" settings info.

Settings - Security - Encrypt tablet
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] retiredtab:
Yes, you can hide this message by using

https://github.com/LineageOS/android_hardware_samsung/blob/lineage-19.1/mkbootimg.mk#L73

and point your BoardCommonConfig.mk to it

https://github.com/exynos5420/andro...on/blob/lineage-17.1/BoardConfigCommon.mk#L61

PS. @MSe1969, I appreciate your gerrit commits to keep LineageOS 16.0/Android 9 up to date with your security backport/patches.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] MSe1969:
Thanks for the hint - I have adapted my device config now and within the next build, the bogus boot message will be history :)

Thanks - let's hope the patches will also get merged one day...
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] snsnse:
I unexpectedly obtained another SM-T815 to test with and tried out the MHL/HDMI interface.

So far I only used vlc with a basic ROM installation (no gapps etc.), but it seems to work quite well, no crashes. I guess the vendor blobs are doing their job just fine.

I will test some more with streaming apps like netflix etc when I get around to it, but the fact that audio is routed through the headphone jack as well is exactly what I need to feed it into my hifi system. Stock ROM would not do this but route through HDMI only once connected.

So for my use case this is looking very promising indeed.

Please keep up the good work and keep the security patches coming!

Not only OK, but foreseen. You can normally update, the LineageOS Updater app should offer you to do so, so you would not even have to do it via manual flashing.

Thanks to @MSe1969 for providing this ROM!

I'm still on the original ROM, but since this is "not optimal" from a security point I want to flash your rom.

Are there any problems with mic (like on newer Android versions)? And I read some problems with safetynet - does this only affect rooted devices (I want to use Netflix and a banking app on my tab)?

Thanks in advance!!
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] MSe1969:
Hi,

not aware about mic problems and Netflix isn't an issue either.

Banking app depends - that's a special topic and depends on the specific app - the root detection method on the one hand side (some are as strict as considering a Custom ROM as such already as a rooted device) and the app's reaction on the other hand, which varies from refusing to run at all, over running in display mode, so you can do all, but transferring/paying and some apps simply let you confirm a warning popup and continue to work normally.

No idea about your specific banking app. However, a mobile browser, especially on a tablet, does very well, for what it has been designed... ;)
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] AlinLee:
Sorry! I just can't use font manager in termux (su -c manage_fonts) says permission denied and i did use adb remount but still denied. Maibe its just me! Thanks anyway for the rom, works great... Play's 1080p 60fps videos in NewPipe with no problem!

[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] MSe1969:
You may try the following, which sometimes helps, as 14.1 has got a "funny" SELinux issue:

- Call su to become root in your terminal

- Being root, call su

again

to start a further root session within your root session

In such cases, where you get a "permission denied" despite root, this trick may help...

I don't know, what you want to achieve, of course I assume you know what you are doing...
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] AlinLee:
Still denied. It's a magisk module that changes the font style of the rom, and needs to be setup in terminal with "su -c manage_fonts" command

View attachment 5846501

This is what it should look like after the command

View attachment 5846515
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] MSe1969:
Then I can't help further, I don't provide support for neither Magisk itself nor any modules.

Edit:

Just a general hint: It may be worth considering not to use the most recent Magisk on an old Android version... (I am in no way a Magisk expert and I personally don't use it, but I know about cases, where for specific ROMs only older versions work)
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] joerg78:
Hi @MSe1969 , thanks a lot for supporting this ROM, except for the fingerprint reader everything works like a charm - and my tablet is really fast again! 😀

Removing tempered glass fixed unresponsive touch for me. But in previous betas touch worked good even with tempered glass so this is temporary solution.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] misleaded:
Is the responsive touch you're having means the screen somehow doesn't register any touches until you lock and unlock your screen for a temporary fix?

Or perhaps the nav buttons or the middle screen somehow are not registering?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] schnelle:
Since .29 update touch in the middle does not register taps/swipes when phone stands on flat surface. And generally touch responds weaker in the middle of the screen. They/devs lowered touch sensitivity. I discovered it works fine without tempered glass, but it worked fine even with tempered glass on previous betas. I hope tommorow new beta will be released with touch fixes. I cannot use phone without tempered glass, risk of breaking the display is very high (I would have broken screen already if I had not have tempered glass on).

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] schnelle:
On stable miui there is edge touch lag when you type really fast. For example very fast typing "al" results "la" because touch on the left edge is registred slower than in the middle. So typing very fast a + k/m/l is registred as k/m/l + a. They fixed that on beta but broke other things... If you don't type really fast, than touch is perfect for you on stable.

---------- Post added at 03:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:26 PM ----------

Successfully update to open beta 8.12.7 via OTA (Locked Bootloader). Following are the observation :-

Good news :-

1) With the update 8.12.7 touch latency of keyboard is is minimized to a great extent but not fully gone.

2) 960fps and night mode is working.

3) Status Bar icon flickering is gone.

4) For me there were no screen flickering issue before the update nor after the update.

Bad news :-

1) Touch recognition near bezels (around 1mm from edges) is still not improved.

2) Youtube Vanced can't be played in picture-in-picture Mode when using full screen gesture.

3) Sometimes Back gesture in full screen mode doesn't work when any apps folder on home screen is open (it was also a bug on 8.11.29).

It appears one has to have high accuracy location ON else nothing really works anymore in Pie.

In Oreo, my location was set as GPS only, all apps functioned fine like this. With all apps I'm referring to Google maps, Wifi analyzer, Google location sharing etc..

Can folks who are on One UI confirm this to be the case, as perhaps hopefully I'm missing something. I don't like the idea of being forced to use high accuracy all the time.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
I think I figured it out. The setting I was looking for appears to be within Google location accuracy menu within Google settings. In Oreo I could set the location to GPS only from the setting menu and couldn't find it in One UI.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] doveman:
In MIUI it only has the option to use the lock screen PIN to encrypt the data partition. I know I can change the encryption password to something different manually, as described here

https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-manually-change-your-android-encryption-password/

However when MIUI boots it only seems to allow users to enter a numeric decrypt password. I prefer to use an alphabetical or alphanumeric, as I find it less confusing using one PIN (for the lock screen) and an alphabetical or alphanumeric password for decryption and they're also longer and thus more secure than a 4 digit PIN.

Is there a mod for MIUI that will allow me to enter a alphanumeric decrypt password at boot?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] doveman:
Is no-one else bothered by this? Does everyone just use the same PIN for decryption and lockscreen? This seems like bad practice because if someone sees you enter your lockscreen PIN, they will then be able to unlock/decrypt the phone even after it is turned off or the battery runs out.

I've also found with the Note 5 the decrypt PIN screen on boot is very dim, making it more difficult to enter the PIN that it needs to be. My Note 4 isn't like this. I have Redfox Recovery on my Note 4 and OrangeFox on the Note 5 but I wouldn't have thought that would be causing this.

Note : This isn't the beta update is the official OTA Pie update !

Steps:

1. Remove your SIM card

2. Go to settings and clear : Google App, Google Framework, Google Play Services, Location Service

3. Reboot

4. Open vpn with country Netherlands/ Austria (VPN doesn't matter as long as its a VPN)

5. Go to update and check it
