There is a simple way to restore TWRP if the device is rooted - use the Official TWRP App to flash TWRP.

I have tested this and it appears to work. First I flashed LOS recovery with TWRP and confirmed that recovery was now LOS, not TWRP. Then booted system, ran the TWRP app and told it to flash TWRP (it offers the option to download any TWRP version for the device, or select a local file). Then rebooted recovery and confirmed it was TWRP again.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] aarem:
I noticed that T713 is not included in the list above. Any chance for it to be made available? Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] lpedia:
@aarem and @fredmo, I suggest you check the thread for the 2016 Tab S2s: [ROM][UNOFFICIAL][10] LineageOS 17.1 [T713][T719][T813][T819].
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] Ronald tab s2:
I have installed the latest 18.1 on my st-t810, works fine. I only do not see any option to disable the backlite of the touch buttons Back and multi screen. I alsof tried the Galaxy button app, but is not working. Anyone have an idea?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] Sappron:
First of all a VERY HUGE THANKS!!! to @ripee and all the developers behind this making our old devices usable again!

Now a bug on LOS 18.1 tab s2 t815/y the backlight turns on for 10 seconds thats more than someone would need also the backlight turns on when touching the screen.

Also there is no setting for turning it off or decreasing its time.

Please fix this bug or if there is a workaround tell us.

Again Thank you!❤️❤️❤️
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] DartGerion:
Is the build for the T819 model planned?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] Surfer_II:
Did anyone try to install the new 18.1 build 20210917 on SM-T815 / gts210ltexx?

Do mobile data and Wifi work in this new build?

Any other major bugs observed?

I´m hesitent to risk a full wipe and clean installation if the basic functions are not functional yet.

On T810, the 18.1 build runs like a charm. Battery is quite stable and Wifi issue is solved. Great thanks to the developers

Only the backlight bug as reported by Sappron is also there.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] ripee:
You can dirty flashes from now on.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] templario1492:
thanks for the effort to continue maintaining this device, I have installed the last two compilations of t810, and it works very well the only error that I have detected is that the device cannot be charged off, when connecting the charger only the device turns on.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] Surfer_II:
That´s great, thanks @ripee !!

Have dirty flashed the latest 18.1 build for T815 + Open GAPPS 11 Pico + Magisk 23 over the latest 17.1 build via TWRP followed by "Wipe Cache/Dalvik" and "Reboot System".

The device booted without any issues on 18.1 build and worked perfectly. All data and settings were kept.

This is really a great improvement compared to full wipe & clean flash.

- The backlight bug reported for T810 is partly not present on T815. The backlight is disabled (fine for me). In settings there is also no possibility to change the backlight settings (at least I didn´t find it).

- Extended start button menu: "Boot to Recovery Option" is back again and quite helpful.

- Homebutton not working

- left hard button (showing the last apps used) not working

- Developer Options could not be activated by clicking a few times on build number

- Mobile data / SIM card is not working yet in this build (18.1_20210917).

Since mobile data are a "must" for me, I tried to return to the latest 17.1 build by dirty flash.

- Reboot System after dirty flash of 17.1 over 18.1 build failed unfortunately. After a long booting period the device booted in TWRP recovery. Tried to reboot again after another Wipe Cache & Dalvik with the same outcome: Boot ended in TWRP recovery.

- To avoid full wipe / clean flash of 17.1, have now flashed again the 18.1 build + Open GAPPS 11 Pico + Magisk 23 and have to live without mobile data for the time being.

Learning: Dirty Flash from 17.1 to 18.1 works fine but not in the other direction.

=> In case you will need mobile data on T815 working, stay on 17.1 until this is fixed in future 18.1 builds.

@ripee: Could the mobile data bug and the other mentioned bugs be fixed?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] djcasl:
I have installed the latest 18.1 build on de t710, don't have any backlight issues. WiFi is really stable now for me. I had graphical glitches in the 17.1 build, there gone in this one.

I only have one minor issue. Maybe it's because I updated to TWRP 3.5.2 I don't know. But when I turn of the tablet and put it in the charger it boots in stead of going to the simple charge animation (green big battery thing). Anyone else had this problem of anyone knows how to fix?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] Sappron:
Do you have any idea how is your backlight turned off?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] Sappron:
So is your backlight turned on for 10 (or so) sec also
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] Surfer_II:
On T810 yes, ca. 10 sec backlight on every touch of buttons and screen. Same as you reported.

On T815 the backlight is off and also no option in the settings to change that (as far I could see)
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] Sappron:
Oh but i have an T815 but the backlight issue is there on my tablet
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] Sappron:
Can anyone else confirm that the latest version of los 18.1 on t815/y has the backlight bug cause i want android 11 so bad
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] Ronald tab s2:
Both system have been upgraded dirty? In 17.1 there is an option to disable the backlight, i assume when you upgrade with this option disabled, it is also off in 18.1
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] Sappron:
ok Thank u so much❤
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] Surfer_II:
In addition to the bugs mentioned earlier for 18.1 (20210917) on T815, this build leads to ca. 1,5 - 2% battery consumption per hour in standby and flightmode.

It seems that the tablet does not go to deep sleep if not used for longer time.

Also the charging speed is very slow. It takes some hours to fully charge the tablet.

@Sappron: Did you observe this as well?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] johnbelloh:
There are a ton of gts210vewifi in service as well as the 8 inch model. When are you going to add these. I don't see any other source for lineage 18. If I missed one please direct me to one. They are arm 64 based and have plenty of life left in them.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] Ronald tab s2:
I have the T810, i observed the same
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] Sappron:
Hey @Surfer_II I Don't know cause my tablets battery is just old and dosent work without charging at all so i dont have that issue. Also there is a huge difference between exynos and sd models of the tablet and i have exynos one if u have sd urs must perform better than mine in any situation cause this exynos chip sucks
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] Sappron:
Also i got stuck in a problem any ideas how to install happs on the latest version i tried to install through lineage recovery and it didnt work then i tried twrp it caused bootloop and now im again stuck at the lineage recovery can i get some help @ripee
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] Sappron:
And pls dont even try to say factory reset bruh i tried it at least 7-8 times
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] greenleaves:
Did a latest 0930 flash over 0917 build on T810. Everything seems working smoothly except the loss of SD card problem still persists in the 0930 build. More testing is coming. Thanks as usual.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] Ronald tab s2:
Is the backlight of touch buttons solved?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] benwatkins:
Just for the sake of anyone wondering, mobile data still not working on 18.1 20210930 (tested on a T715 clean install). It prompts you during setup to install a SIM card even when one is already inserted.

Also GPS not working. Sensor shows up as present but no satellite signals received.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] haircut313:
Device powers on when plugged in to power source. even turning it off while plugged in it just turns on automatically which is annoying other than that no problems so far
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] jayz30:
Installed T715Y.. Sim card not working..
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] djcasl:
Installed 0930 over 0917 on the 710, I don't have an SD card problem. Never had that with any build. Only still the auto power on when charging. Apart from that this build is really good and stable. I have no reboots and WiFi works great now with MESH WiFi access points.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] acme64:
can someone point me to the gts210vewifi version? i can't seem to find it.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] lpedia:
@acme64, you'll find links in the first post of the thread [ROM][UNOFFICIAL][10] LineageOS 17.1 [T713][T719][T813][T819] ... but that's 17.1. I don't know if there's an 18.1 elsewhere, but you could ask on that thread.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] acme64:
why would i ask on the v17 thread for v18 links
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] lpedia:
I suggest that you look at that

2016

Tab S2 thread because gts210vewifi is a 2016 Tab S2. This thread is for the

2015

Tab S2 devices only. The 2015 and 2016 Tab S2s have different hardware. Even if the other thread is for 17.1, you should be able to find out there whether there is an 18.1 for your device. Someone is sure to have asked about it and/or the devs might have announced that they're working on it.

Good luck!

I experience a stuttering in audio when played via a bluetooth connection every time the screen goes off and sometimes also during playback when screen is off. This behaviour is not restricted to a specific bluetooth device.

Does anyone also have this problem and knows a fix?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] obeguin:
I have a 2015 tab s2 ( SM-T710 ) and when i use he twrp from the official website i have error 255.

I read somewhere that it is because i tried to install a 64 bits rom and in order to install it i need a twrp 64 bits.

Ive been trying to find a twrp 64 bits version for the SM-T710 but i cannot find it anywhere...

Does anyone have a link to it ?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] bmwdroid:
I've never heard of 32 and/or 64bit versions of TWRP for only one device.

Which one are you using?

When do you get that error (what do you do to get it)?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] djcasl:
I have a SM-T710 and I used TWRP from TWRP GTS28WiFI, when I was on stock ROM I used Odin to install the .TAR version. Used a instruction I found with Google. If you have TWRP on your system next time you can just download the .IMG to you SD and install via TWRP itself. The SM-T710 doesn't have a 64-bit CPU so you will always need to run 32 bits version (also need the GApps version in 32-bit)

Currently running on the 18.1 0930 version of the ROM
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] kabelgleichung:
The Exynos 5433 and Snapdragon 652 that are used in the SM-T710 are indeed 64bit SoCs. But as there has never been a 64bit capable kernel in Samsungs stock ROMs, we have to stick to 32bit version ROMs.

However, a 64bit ROM would not bring any advantages anyway, since the tablet only includes 3GB of RAM.

[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] halloo13:
Sup guys,

I have two questions:

1. Will there be a LineageOS 18.1 port for the T813 (Tab S2 9.7, 2016)? Or is it already in development?

2. Strangely, my Tab S2 ALWAYS crashes and has random reboots when I use LineageOS 16/17.1 but that never happens on Stock 6.0.1 or 7.0. I do not want to use Android 7/Grace UX anymore, so I was planning to upgrade but I always find myself downgrading the Tab again, because of random reboots. Does anyone has a solution?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] bmwdroid:
@halloo13 might get more input when asking here (https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-unofficial-10-lineageos-17-1-t713-t719-t813-t819.4070161/) in the special thread for your device.

Thankyou so much! 18.1 seems to work fine on my S2 LTE. My 14.1 died and rather than reinstall what I have in my archive from years ago I tried this out and now it's the newest ROM in the house!
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] ripee:
I added an overlay in the last build to hopefully re-enable the softkey backlight settings menu. I also picked an update to the ril source in the LTE variants that I took from the 7580 sources.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] morow:
I've flashed my SM-T715, but the "SIM card is not recognized" (I flashed the ROM few times) is the reason because the ROM is for SM-T715/Y version? If this version is not working on SM-T715, can you suggest which version of Lineage is working properly?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] morow:
I downloaded new version today (20211021) but same issue, it says "SIM Card is missing"
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] kabelgleichung:

Dear All,

i have the SM-T815 LTE and installed with success the last build of 18.1 from the 20 Ocotober 2021.

My issue is that i cannnot set the SELinux to enforced.

And then PrimeVideo don't work because of that.

How can I set it to enforced while it is by default disable ?

Regards,
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] kabelgleichung:
The issue is on 17.1, can anyone running 18.1 please check if it's still there?

The problem does not occur when using the headphone jack, only when using a Bluetooth audio device.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] ripee:
It's not something that can be changed in the settings. Once we fix the softkey backlight and RIL bugs, I will set the kernel as enforced and revise the sepolicy in the sources to restore functionality while having an enforcing kernel.

I suggest you flash Magisk and enable Hide, then add the Prime Video app to the list of apps root needs to be hidden from, or just sideload the Prime Video app if it doesn't appear in the Play Store.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] bmwdroid:
My T810 is on LOS18.1 from 20211014.

When on it shuts off only a very short stutter occurs in BT headphone.

Tested with Radiodroid.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] show6surf:
Thank you for your answer.

I succeded in making it work by installing the last version of the 22 october.

I just did not click on the notification "discover selinux" at first startup.

II think primevideo do not see the disabeled selinux then and let the video play.

I will be waiting for the build with selinux enabled...

Please let us know.

Hi all,

I have bought the Nokia 6.1 Plus from: https://www.gearbest.com/cell-phones/pp_009511019981.html?wid=1349303

I made the mistake of updating it to Android Pie when I got it. WiFi is not working properly. Most of the times I have to reboot the phone to get it to work.

Then Mobile Data is also completely non-functional. I can confirm settings are correct as I have managed to test with my old phone and works flawlessly. Anybody have the same issues?

[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] doubledragon5:
I personally don't understand all the hoopla over a security patch.. No offense, but I never had any phone of mine compromised, even if I did not have the latest patch.. I always look forward to the new Android OS or other updates that actually make improvements to the phone.. My phone go the Nov updated 2 weeks ago.. I never did understand why they wait to actually get these things out.. If it is so critical, they need to push it out when it actually comes out.

i was in confusion to buy note 9 or oneplus 6t , when hold n9 in hand it feels heavy , i just want to know the experience of n9 users that are you able to hold and use it for long time ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] daniel4653:
You get used to the size and feel of the phone where others will feel super light. It's like if you drove a sedan all your life then you get a truck it will feel huge. But eventually you adapt to the change.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] alwynjoshy:
Thanks for the answer, you encouraged me to buy note 9 . i see you have 6t also which one you like most ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] 6thtry:
I took my S5 and N9 in each hand, closed my eyes, and started "feeling" the differences. Swapped them between hands and continued. I have to say, if I would not see them, or feel the textures or sides (or checked their length or weight balance differences), I would not be able to tell quickly which one is which. In my hands, Note 9 feels no bulkier than S5.

I read news with N9 during local train trips (about 15 minutes), which are about the longest continuous activities I do with phones (except long calls, which are rare for me). I haven't noticed any bulkiness or hand getting tired in that (relatively) short amount of time.

When it comes to pockets, N9's significantly longer length does matter. S5 can fit fine in my jeans front pocket (though it does create a hole on one spot over time), N9 does not fit in the same orientation/properly. So, N9 is bulkier in that sense. Though I wouldn't put N9 in front pocket even if it fit, as those pockets seems to collect "hard" dust over time (or something), leading to surface wear on the corners of the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] pizza_pablo:
It's a bit heavy, but in a good way. It's more tall than bulky.

At times I have a bit of trouble reaching things, but not unacceptably. I am 5'8" and my hand from wrist to tip of middle finger is approximately 7.5"
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] sullytrny:
The phone is a little heavy feeling when not in a case and very "slippery". I've got an "Otterbox like" hybrid case and love it and I've got medium hands......

Having gone two and a half days on a 90% charge I'll live with it. Not to mention 512+256 and really good mountain cell signal
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Medevac1:
My previous device was an LG V20 so the Note 9 does not feel too heavy to me at all. It has a nice quality feel to it and feels "just right" in my hand.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Phazonclash:
Not bulky. It's relatively thin/narrow, and it feels very premium. It's a little bit tall, slippery and on the heavy side though.

That's something I had to adjust to when I switched from a Pixel 2 XL (at first, my little finger would hurt after using the phone for a prolonged period of time. The Pixel 2 XL is 26 grams lighter and the paint finish helps to have a better grip).

Even if the Note 9 looks great, my advice would be to get a good case. It feels like (and it is) a luxury phone. Better protect it than be sorry later
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] high_voltage:
It's a lot more comfortable than the s7e that I got and used for two years (3m for the note 9) - even one hand. I had even hand pain sometimes from the s7e after extensive use, something I never got on my note 9. Both naked, never used a case/screen protector on both.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] daniel4653:
No problem. I actually have the 1+6

I had the 1+6t but didn't like the in display fingerprint scanner. The fact that you have to turn on the screen for the scanner to work seems odd when I'd rather have on on the back of the phone which is more reliable. But i equally enjoy my 1+6 because it's such a smooth phone, lightweight, great looks, and camera is pretty good on it. Battery is about 1hr SOT less than the Note 9.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
Maybe some time in the gym is in order for you all. ?

It IS heavier than say an S9+, but I don't consider it heavy. I'm on my phone all day, and I never even think about the weight of it. Like others said, it's slippery without a case and pretty tall, so it can make one-handed operation awkward. More than anything, this trend of thin phones and no side bezel makes using it without a case difficult. There's nothing to really hold on to and it's slick, so it's easy to drop.

That's why I put it in a cheap clear TPU case and use it that way. Protects against scratches and light drops, but adds little to no bulk.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] rezapatel:
I had been using OP6 prior to this, still have it. First day I felt this was heavier and difficult / awkward to handle (considering my last note was note 4), was just a matter of a day and I'm pretty comfortable with it. Used it with the cover that came in the box first couple days, then changed too neo hybrid (makes it more bulky) but in a good way (feels sturdy).

Loving the great battery life on the Note 9 compared to OP6. Used to get between 4 to 6 hours of screen time on OP6. With Note 9, I average around 1 hr per 10 percent of battery (in case the standby times aren't too long) otherwise you can expect 10 to 20 percent going towards a day of standby + 8 hours of screen on. Do note, I'm a heavy user with dozen apps running thr background, Slack, Asana, Aqua mail (for emails), Whatsapp & Facebook.

It's a great phone overall, other than the fact it was difficult getting used to N9 being slightly less responsive than the OP6 (with Android Pie).

So far, so good!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] qnc:
I don't think it is that bulky. I came from Essential phone and weight wise it is just a little heavier, but not by much. it is of course much much longer.

I still carry it in my front pocket.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] arsenal74:
Not as big as you expect it to be, far more manageable than say an iPhone X's max for example.

I'll second the lack of responsiveness Vs the OP6. The Note feels more premium but the OP just flies in the comparison.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Nic2112:
Note 9 feels tall, narrow, top heavy, dense and slippery. The 6T feels wider, lighter, also slippery.

One thing for sure, my 6T does *everything* faster but Note 9 just does things better. Higher resolution, bigger battery, wireless charging , headphone jack, stylus, and a few others.

To me, Note 9 is the better phone without considering price. Performance for the price, much better value from OnePlus and I think that's their goal.
