Has this been resolved with current build? Can it be resolved?

Edit: I see Lineage for LTE has fixed this issue, am I correct to assume it is fixed in this Rom as well?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dagrim1:
Where did you see that? I only read a comment saying "pen is working" which was true already, but palm detectiin wasn't. (Or arent you talking about rhe thread in this forum?)

I'll check if anything had changes in the changelog and might try flashing it again if I see reason to

how can we fix this I use ONENOTE SQUID SNOTE all dont work any more
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] rainman74:
The fingerprint sensor during unlocking doesn't work properly and often leads to a restart of the device and the camera unfortunately doesn't work properly either. Since there is no more support here, I am back to the stock firmware. Too bad, because the firmware was very promising... ?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] risant:

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Nosferatu.:
Followed directions from stock unrooted.

Got T820 rooted, TWRP installed, flashed this ROM with GApps. I have Magisk 19.1 running but CTSProfile is false. Any thoughts? Otherwise things seem to work minus sync'ing my Play purchases (which I'm assuming is due to the CTSProfile being false???)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] rainman74:
Yes. Just install module MagiskHide Props Config and change device fingerprint to "Samsung Galaxy Tab S3" with it. Sounds wired, but it works and after a reboot you get ctsProfile = true :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Nosferatu.:
Thank you. Okay I'm going to play with it gotta install BusyBox and whatnot I'll report back once finished. In the meantime, other thing I noticed is sometimes after putting my PIN in the screen will dim, it'll freeze, and then reboot itself. I saw someone else posted here with similar issue. Thoughts?

---------- Post added at 06:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:59 PM ----------

I loaded it up picked Samsung "17" and only saw Tab S3 (T825 8.0.0). Didn't see T820. Either way, picked that, no luck.

I almost don't care about passing SafetyNet. What I do care about is having my Play Store sync my Family Library purchases (it's not).
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] rainman74:
Yes, unfortunately this is exactly the reason why I switched back to stock firmware :(

---------- Post added at 00:39 ---------- Previous post was at 00:34 ----------

This has nothing to do with ctsProfile at all. You have another problem, maybe it's because your fingerprint isn't recognized either (SM-T825 as fingerprint is correct).

Have you tried to delete the entire storage of Google Play Store and Play Services? You can do that with peace of mind, your user stays logged in and the apps recreate everything when you restart the Play Store.

---------- Post added at 00:43 ---------- Previous post was at 00:39 ----------

And something else, of course you have to activate the "Device simulation" after setting the "Device fingerprint" (SM-T825) ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Nosferatu.:
Well I guess I just needed to give it time to "settle in." Purchases are there. Whatever on the CTSProfile False. I'll give this ROM a whirl as long as it's just a double reboot needed every so often I'll deal with that. The tablet feels like a brand new device it's so much snappier than the stock firmware.

I notice I cannot install Netflix I'm guessing it's due to this.

EDIT: I noticed TWRP cannot see Internal Storage anymore it's 0MB. It was readable before. I'm assuming because I have fingerprint and PIN is why??? Can TWRP not decrypt after adding security to lock screen?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] risant:
Any new update for lineage 16 to fix the usb -otg, camera, s-pen?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] VVombat:

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] lateforwork1000:
i tried out the new build but all the issues that where in the last build is still present otg , camera but the s-pen does work abit better but no palm rejection. I'm also have wifi problems it keeps on drop off every few hours and im noticing a battery drain an doing lg file transfer to my tablet takes much longer. I'm really not sure what has been change or if anything has been fix.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] rainman74:
I don't think [MENTION=2047373]Valera1978[/MENTION] can fix the existing bugs on its own, it just compiles the existing code. This would only happen when the LineageOS team would officially add the tab S3. But that may take years, if any.

Therefore, with these existing problems, the use of this OS does not make sense on a tab S3 at the moment.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] VVombat:
Sadly no. A maintainer has to get it up and running on his own, when he gets it running reliably he can become the official maintainer for that device afaik.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] randombeard:
Substratum seems to choke on theming the system with the 5/18 rom, even when "other" is picked and it claims to compile successfully (failed on AOSP.) Unsure what that's about.

Step by step guide for noob?

Hello,

Is there a step by step guide that explains how to install twrp, make partitions, wipe them, how to flash, installing the ROM properly?

I've never done something like this before and was wondering if anyone can help me out. Thank you.

New Tab S3 Owner

Just got a used SM-T820 a few days ago and had this ROM running on it within 2 hours of opening the packaging with almost no issues. Only snag was to repartition System/Data/Temp to break the encryption and everything since has gone smooth since I made that move.

Everything appears to run fine so far, and the only real oddities I've noticed over the last few days appear to be that the finger print sensor seems a little 'flakey' compared to my Pixel 2 XL's, but that could just be a hardware difference in the sensors so I can't attribute that to the ROM itself. Aside from that, it just seems like this build REALLY doesn't play nice with Google's Official "Wallpaper" app that allows you to install the live wallpapers that ship on the Pixels. They run from the stock launcher when you apply them as a wallpaper and grant all the permissions to get them to work (I'm partial to the "earth" that overlays weather data from Weather.com over a time-synced satellite view of where you are on Earth), but anywhere from 25-45 minutes it seems, the tablet seizes up, and when trying to lock/unlock it, it reboots and defaults to the last regular wallpaper that was set when it comes back.

Second "issue" if you want to call it that, is the same that others have reported where the Adopted Storage appears to just add 128GB to it in the Settings to the formatted SD card, but it reads correctly in proper file explorer apps? Using a 400GB mSD in mine and it is working like a champ.

Miles ahead of my old Shield K1 pretty much across the board. Don't use my tablet as a calling device, a camera, or NFC (I have my aforementioned Pixel 2 XL for all of those needs), so those issues don't really mar the experience for me. Overall, everything else seems to be holding up just fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Kevin36:
love the ROM only problem is audio is too low compared to stock ROM any trick to make it sound better?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] whitedragon33:
Try playing around with the included Audio FX app, made a difference on my S3.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] drt054:
I installed BusyBox through Magisk and changed the device fingerprint to the T825 option, rebooted. My lockscreen kept looping after typing in my pin so I rebooted again and now CTS profile = true and hopefully will be all good for now.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Nosferatu.:
So what exactly are we to do to stop the loop?

I just cannot put this device back on Samsung's ROM it's so snappy on Lineage OS. Only con is audio is low (somewhat fixed by adding Viper4Android FX) and cannot install Netflix. :silly:

Hello guys does adoptable storage or Apps2sd work fine with this rom please?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] drt054:
I've had to reinstall this ROM 3x now. It keeps getting stuck in a lock screen loop. So I remove the pin and fingerprint and it just gets stuck on Android is starting. This was before and after I changed the device fingerprint. So for now I'm just not turning it off.

I have a stock backup but it's so ridiculously slow.

I gave up on LineageOS for now.. too many problems that probably won't get fixed until Pie is out for this tab. I flashed Tweaked Stock 8.0 for now everything is running as it should be.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] DuncDog:
Yes to Adoptable Storage, as I'm using it with a 400GB mSD in mine as we speak. It DOES add an extra 128GB in the Storage Settings Page for some reason, but inside an actual file management app, or another app that allows access to the amount of "space" on the mSD (~364GB in my case), it has been reading correctly for me.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] DuncDog:

As the rom hasn't been updated since "20190518", that would be a no.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] drt054:
On 7-7-19 build. Clean flash.. So far I can't finish setting up fingerprint unlock. The progress circle stops after your first finger placement and is just gray. The tablet vibes when touching it so it is registering something. I'm restoring my apps now. I'll add other issues I find here. Rear camera working so far, front force closes. After changing device fingerprint to use magisk hide still get the lock screen looping.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Stogie87:
I had some issues with the spen, because the display still recognises the touch of your hand during the writing. This was the reason why I went back to terribly slow stock rom. :(

I don't think the dev has fixed it.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] duy_ng:
I tried it but unfortunately it did not work. The finger print sensor notices my finger during the set up (vibrates) but the setup does not proceed. Are there any others ideas? I am pretty happy with the ROM ecxept the fingerprint.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] nOISEVAULT:
Thanks a lot for the rom. It is so much faster and Slimmer than the stock it's made me like my tablet a lot more. To the original poster, please post a Bitcoin address or preferably a Monero address and I'll buy you a beer. It won't be much but a little something.

Good afternoon

I installed the latest firmware clean (20190913). I like everything very much, but I ran into a couple of problems:

1. The most critical is the sound. Only two speakers work (in the previous version, they worked like all 4 but correctly only in portrait orientation). In this version, only 2 work and the left and right channels are mixed up (checked by the programs for the test and on the video on YouTube). Still the sound is mute distorted (compared on different devices, speech is distorted a little)

2. For some reason, access rights after inclusion in the developer’s settings do not work, the request does not arrive at them.

The firmware is awesome, but it’s a pity the sound cannot be made the same as on the drain, it would be perfect. I’ll use it again, but I’ll probably still have to return to the stock again = ((

In any case, HUGE THANKS FOR FIRMWARE, smoother and less overloaded than stock, there is no such throttling as for stock

Widevine Level

I haven't installed the custom Rom yet.

Could someone report if Widevine Level 1 is still there or do I get only L3 when the custom Rom got installed? I heard very different reports for different devices and custom Roms on the internet.

Perhaps someone with the custom Rom installed could install the app "DRM info " from the Play store and post a screenshot or post the level?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] lau951793:
Many thanks for that new version :D

- now usb otg works fine, with a wireless logitech keyboard plugged on USB with an adapter

- also fingerprint now works perfectly

But the audio redirection by the OS does not seem to work : earset plugged on jack or bluetooth earset => audio still on HP

To make it work I had to wipe data and install the 20190913 version + fingerprint zip (otherwise not possible to unlock the screen, other time not possible to register the fingerprint) :

1/ boot to recovery and format data + wipe cache + system

2/ install 20190913 LOS (sideload + TWRP mentioned here works fine)

3/ install the fingerprint zip

4/ if needed install the Gapps (I installed the Full version)

On last thing: "adb restore" seem to do nothing, even if from UI all the steps are OK...
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Thaliya:
Is it possible that this rom will ever support palm rejection? Cause else im gonna sell this tablet. Pie One UI was a disappointment - slow and battery drain :(
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Introspective88:
Mine shows L3
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ttenroK:
Thank you for the answer!

But that's a pity.

That widevine level topic is a bit complicated. Where are the keys laying which are having an effect on the level, can L1 be regained by locking the bootloader... and so on.

Did you try to lock the bootloader after the installation of the custom ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] VVombat:
As far as I know you shouldn't do that because your device will be in a boot loop if you run a custom ROM. We unlock the bootloader to run other OS than intended by the manufacturer of the given device in the first place.

Please correct me if I'm mistaken.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Introspective88:
I haven't but I can give it a go on the weekend for you if you like.

---------- Post added at 07:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:48 PM ----------

hmm, on 2nd thoughts maybe I won't try and lock the bootloader based on this comment.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ttenroK:
Oh, thank you! I did not know that. I read somewhere that they "fixed" the widevine-level-problem with relocking the bootloader but it could be possible that they previously flashed the stock ROM on the device.

It is unfortunately really uncomfortable with widevine level 3 when you are not able to stream HD content from Netflix Amazon Prime or SKY on a tablet which partly exists for media consumption.

There are still some Bugs in Version 20190913

Dear Valera1978,

thank you for the lineage OS 16.0 built for Galaxy Tab S3. Is running overall really well on my device :), but there are still some bugs:

1. normal Headphones via audiojack and audiojack over usbc Adapter do not work

2. When I try to connect my bluetooth device (Speakers or Headset) I can not to play sound with it,because it is not possible to change the output device under settings --> sound --> play media to --> this device to the given output device. The output sound device shows up there but there is no possibility to select it. :rolleyes:

3. If device Encryption is activated and Android boot up it normally ask the device PIN. In landscape mode comes instead of the PIN dialer just the emoji bar. With I enter the back botton the Pin dialer shows up again.

Maybe you can add some features like

- Support of the newest Netflix App ( last working version : 6.26.1)

- Support of full safety net integrity ( maybe with an on/ off switch for changes on the system partition)

- getting the SPen commands App working (maybe this do solve the palm rejection problem)

Thanks in advance

PS : I would also like to donate the development to get bugs fixed, because the Stock Rom is S***
