but droid info says

GT- N5100 (kona3gxx)

bootloader N5105JVCMI2

which lineageos i have use to update android 7.1.2?

PLEASE HELP
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] User_99:
What's that device? Only WLAN, 3G vor LTE?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] cmergun:
it is galaxy note 8.0 gt n5105. Also it has wifi and lte
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] User_99:
Think 5100 is similar.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] cmergun:
Install android 7.1.2

I update n5105 from android 4.2.2 to android 7.1.2. Everything seems good. but there is no Samsung application. I install from Google play. But any of them does not work. Especially I want to use snote and spen. But does not work. How can I add samsung applications? İs there anything like Gapps may be called Sapps?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] ektus:
As far as I know, those Samsung applications will work only with Samsung ROMs. They need some proprietary functions not present in third party builds. There is software to use the pen, though. Coto Note comes to mind. Haven't used it for anything but brief testing, though.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] User_99:
Samsung apps mostly works only on Samsung Rom. There are some modded als also for Stock (vanilla) Android.

So if you use that 7.1.2 Rom you must find other apps than Samsung ones. They won't work.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] azurehawke:
Would you mind sharing the secret to getting that installed? I'm trying to do the same thing, but I can't get past the signature verification error. I'm not sure what to do.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] AztecUK:
Just got given Samsung GT-N5110, Yikes KitKat lol... Lets not!

Good old Odin, TWRP and now trying this build!

Glad I found this post with useful links, near end of 2021 too!!

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] AztecUK:
This is crazy was asked can I do anything with it was going in Bin! I said wait No! that tablet is old, guy said you can't load much on it because it was old...

Actually really good old tablet, I went from memory and this forum...

I am not at Noob so skipped through a lot and did what I membered!

Same keys as S3, put in Download mode, use Odin to blast bootloader, reboot and quickly press right key combo before official software kicks it out.

Reboot again and see friendly TWRP as your bootloader.

I just saved a not bad old tablet from bin! I gonna keep, so glad for this forum!!!!

My main and only phone is a Samsung Galaxy A10 because it is my only 4G device decided not to mess with it BUT was phone to try with device I was given as tablet... Never push your luck!

I have made a brick before in my time!!!

Happy ending here!!!

Nice to be back!
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] AztecUK:
Yes that old Samsung Note 8 has got new lease of life!

What memories from S3 that good old reflash Boot loader and hit key combo before original bootloader is retained!

Got TWRP going, got my Gapps and root, job done, nice!

WARNING:- Anyone with old Note 8 please don't just jump in! Yes it is possible, don't ask me if your a Noob, don't ask me what is a bootloader, what is Odin, what is TWRP, what is Root?... You can turn your tablet into chopping board! I am playing with Lineage on mine, you playing with Cucumber on yours?

Thankyou awesome links!
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] AztecUK:
Nice Job, last step TWRP root file and enable in Dev Options!

Fully Rooted and enjoying the fact someone is still updating build for patch level.

Old tablet but not that bad once you get rid of KitKat lol!

This guy was going to chuck it out and said to me it will be limited because of old software... He told me dispose of it.... Just showed him now and he asked why did Samsung do this update for you not us, answer is they didn't!

This is why I love Android over Apple!

Being that I'm still on a stock ROM except for kernel and recovery can I relock the bootloader?

Any harm to relocking?

Nice work [MENTION=382340]walter79[/MENTION], many thanks for continuing to improve/maintain our device.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] harithzaim88:
hi. thx for your hard work.

noob user here, your instructions are too vague.

for gtn5110, i have to:

unlock bootloader > flash twrp > flash rom.

correct?

why i cant just use fastboot?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] walter79:
Flash TWRP with odin (windows) or heimdall (linux).
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] harithzaim88:
help

dear walter,

progress so far: factory reset the tab > root > flash twrp.

then what? im confused with the "Boot image with encryption" file.

which one first? rom or boot first?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] ektus:
rom first, and OpenGAPPs if you like (both in the same session, select the rom, then add more images and select gapps). Boot is independent, but has to be installed also if you want to use encryption.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] ektus:
Installed the complete package (rom, boot, twrp and openGAPPS pico) on my spare N5110. Seems to be working as before, and retains the USB bug. OTG device (keyboard) keeps reconnecting.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] walter79:
log?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] ektus:
sure, see attachment
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] walter79:
Did keyboard work on stock rom?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] ektus:
I don't know, haven't used stock on those tablets. It's not only the keyboard, other devices behave the same (e.g. mouse, webcam). This has been the case ever since I use the tablet, first with official LoS and now on the second tablet with this one.

Testing with a mouse, it works for a couple seconds, then it's gone for a second or two, works again for a couple seconds, vanishes briefly, ad infinitum.

Regards

Ektus.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] walter79:
Can you test with external powered otg cable?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] ektus:
I don't have such a cable. I believe I did already test with a powered USB Hub connected to a normal OTG cable, but have misplaced that powered hub so currently can't repeat that test either :(

[edit]

Found the powered hub. A mouse connected to that hub behaves the same. I've added a USB power meter in between, the hub doesn't pull power from the tablet.

[/edit]

Regards

Ektus.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] walter79:
Tested a wireless keyboard. Works well with and without external power

edit: wired mouse works well too
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] walter79:
Can you test again with attached boot.img ?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] ektus:
Sure. Connected the mouse 88s after boot, keeps toggling. dmesg is attached.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] walter79:
can you install a samsung stock rom? Maybe it is a hardware fault.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] ektus:
I've never gone that route. If there is a stock rom and boot I can flash with TWRP, I could try.

It would be a general fault in the N5110, too, as it's present in both of my devices.

Regards

Ektus

Hi walter79 - thanks for giving my trusted GT-N5100 a new live now with encryption support. Due to your work and of rgib and others, I am still able to use the device as my main device for note taking and quick reading. Now with the 2nd battery, but still kicking. I am still testing things, but haven't found anything suspicious yet.

Please continue the good work!

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] begucu:
starting to migrate to this from last nightly official lineage and last twrp

trying to install unofficial image directly resulting failed needed to factory reset

there are 2 problems from previous image / official LOS and TWRP, there's always a force reboot everytime i do a cache/dalvik wipe resulting failed to mount /cache and failed to mount /efs

failed to mount /cache can be repaired via advanced wipe in twrp but i never solve failed to mount /efs

after factory reset the image installed normally so far looking good, would update later

so far i dont have any issue, i got better screen on time and standby time.

also the mtp host stop is gone

using 14.1-20190806-UNOFFICIAL-n5100

thank you [MENTION=382340]walter79[/MENTION]

only thing i didnt test was cellular service since i have no spare sim currently

still looking for /efs failed to mount without going back to stock that would take a lot of time to get back here

as currently with /efs failed to mount i dont have any issue with my user experience
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] rjt2291:
I bet very much if you put in a SIM it won't work because of your EFS issue. What I would do is re-download TWRP, hook it up to Odin and flash, then reboot to recovery, wipe everything but external SD and reinstall LOS. It should fix it, if it doesn't then Odin flash stock ROM. It doesn't take too long.

https://samsung-firmware.org/model/GT-N5100/page/1/

FWIW, I prefer to Odin an older version, skip through setup and then factory reset, then use Kies 3 to upgrade right from Samsung, then do another factory reset after boot.

What is Boot image with encryption?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] TarKin:
First of all: Thanks for your hard work. I appreciate it very much.

There´s one single thing that keeps bugging me a bit: Everytime i wake up my device it takes a few seconds to connect to wifi again. Even though it is configured to remain connected. Is that a rom specific thing or is it just me being too stupid and having overlooked something? :)
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] cshnz:
thanks [MENTION=382340]walter79[/MENTION] for your hardworks to bring N5100 to the next level :D

let me reviewing this rom.

first i came from the official rom N5100 with 4.4.4 with boeffla kernel and TWRP installed. i backed up efs partition to prevent if the bad things happen.

then i flash the new TWRP using odin, and then transferred rom, gapps, and magisk zip. i just format the partition except the efs and the external sd. then i flash the rom, gapps and magisk.

first boot take a very longggg time.....make sure your device is being charged or battery fulled.

once it booted for the first time...the sim are not have signal...then i check the imei from setting, the sim was unknown..luckily i've backed up efs...then i restore it via TWRP and boom...the next boot the sim is working...but something crazy happened battery with 100% stats just dead in 30 mins..i've just tried to figure it out..i installed some kernel customizing apps...then i realized...the CPU was using 1600 Mhz all the time...then i change the freq to 1000...boom! battery got serve normally...then i installed the google webview from playstore and then enabled it via developer settings its working... another test i play with some otg mouse and wireless keyboard...they're working flawlessly...camera and sound is working too...and then i use external sdcard as internal, they are working too even i connected it to pc the external sdcard is still detected in mtp mode...

overall this rom are working so good!!!

huge thanks for [MENTION=382340]walter79[/MENTION] :good:

On 5110 I can turn bluetooth on (not paired), let screen timeout and wait a few minutes, turn screen back on and screen touch will be unresponsive because of a serious overload or something. Hitting power button wouldn't turn screen back off so I had to hard reset with power button hold.

Also the screen tearing/hitching in games is really annoying. I'm guessing V-sync isn't enabled?

Progress and further updates

Hi walter79 - thanks for giving this a try. After updating my GT-N5100 today to your latest build on your build server, some questions came up:

I need to flash your boot image from July 20th every time I update the rom itself. Encryption gets lost and I need to reflash the boot image. Is this the expected behavior?

Are you producing nightly builds for the boot image allowing encryption like you do for the other boot images? I could not find them

Where can I be of help with your LOS 15 builds? For me it is less the additional functionality than being able to keep my Note 8 going on the long run. It is still in regards to size and capability with the S-Pen and my use cases of handwritten note-taking via nebo and revision of the many documents I have to read work related one of the best devices out there

First of thanks a lot for your work for our "old" Note 8.0! :good:

I ordered a new battery yesterday and now want to switch from stock 4.4.2 to LOS 14.1. I still have an official nightly dated November 2018.

My question is: does your build have any known disadvantages compared to the last official nightlys?

Are GPS and the compass working fine (both are not mentioned in initial post)?

Is the install procedure the same like for the official nightlys here:

https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/n5110/install

Is the boot image with encryption already included in current builds?

How about updated builds, is it possible flash them over and take all apps and data or is a complete wipe recommended?

With how popular this tablet seems to be, I'm surprised by the lack of active development. Sadly it appears dead or on life support now and general updates are non-existent. I almost want to roll back to Cyanogenmod 13 cause it's more stable/functional than official 14.1 was left to die with. :rolleyes:

Doesn't help me, I don't use unofficial. I have trust issues.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] ComicoX:
The only real difference between official and unofficial is that if your rom is official by LOS that rom will be automatically build by Los's servers.

And getting official status for old devices like smdk4412 is basically impossible the requirements are to high.

For official it needs to have 0 bugs, no frameworks changes... So it won't happen

I started to use this ROM on my GT-N5110 and I noticed a problem with the OTG cable. The connection keeps going off and on. I tried my USB mouse, keyboard and a flash pen. I was on CM13 and had no problems with the equipment nor the cable. Also, I tested using a cable with the possibility to be connected to a power supply, so, lack of current is not an issue. Does anyone know some workaround to avoid this constantly connect/disconnect issue? Is there some way to change some parameters on a file to sort this?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] ektus:
That's a known problem with the LOS 14 builds (both this one and the abandoned official one). My workaround is a Bluetooth keyboard (real Bluetooth, not with USB dongle, e.g. brand Perrix).
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] nimumo:
The problem is that I have an old Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Smart Docking which I use to dock my Note 8 and work like a desktop computer, where I have my keyboard, mouse and monitor connected. I already know that HDMI will not work but I would like to keep using it with my keyboard and mouse.

I could use this method using the latest CM13 ROM but I got a lot of "the application stopped working"; that was the reason I "upgrade" to this ROM.
