Is there any chance, that you compile Havoc OS 3.0 for our Device?

Thanks in advance

I got it installed and booted but the rotate function isn't working, even when I open youtube and make it full screen it's doesn't rotate
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Stogie87:
Don't expect that anything on this rom will fixed soon.

Always the same with this dev. He releases a build with issues, then he ignores all issue reports and only releases sometimes a new build with security updates and nothing more. I wish a had wait a little bit and bought a tab s5e, because it seems to be the only new Samsung tab with fully working custom roms and palm rejection.

Better you use stock rom for tab s3.

See the screenshot for error message.

Not sure if answered but I fixed this by:

Copying the complete line ro.vendor.build.fingerprint.................. from the /system/build.prop file.

Paste replacing the line ro.vendor.build.fingerprint.................. in the /vendor/build.prop file.

These files crosscheck each other looking for this line. The files must be from different builds.

OK I have successfully compiled and flashed Pitch Black Recovery Project to the Samsung Galaxy J2 2016. It runs flawlessly but is SUPER slow (because of the horrendously low RAM I guess) and the touch is kind of sucky. So I will try to compile Pitch Black for the Tab S3 now.

Palm rejection on this latest build?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] NullCode:
mmm no. Since Valera has sorta stopped working on the Tab S3, he/she still hasn't updated/tried to fix the vendor tree. And because of this, none of the bugs I've experienced are fixed. Alex only does security patches as of now, and none of us are capable enough to debug a device & vendor tree.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Noerden:
I have a 820, which became slow with Stock rom, and bad battery drain.

I have tried this one several times, but it's stock in bootloop, with Lineage loge keep animating.

I have installed "[ROM] SM-T820 TWEAKED.........................[rom] sm-t820 tweaked." without problems.

But i would like to have a rom, without Samsung bloatware, and minimum Google services.

How are your rooting "routine"?

And have you experienced boot loop?

In the proces i have also loaded original stock rom, before starting alle over.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] bmwdroid:
Little bit OT:

The tweaked ROM can be manually debloated further by yourself.

That's at least what I did (in Linux) for my T825.

Got rid of a lot more Samsung stuff.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Noerden:
Thanks.

But i guess that involves some work with ADB.

I must see if I can get time to do this.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] bmwdroid:
Not at all.

Opened the zip file with arc manager and deleted some apks.

Just had to test if I got rid of some which are needed by the ROM.

So I've flashed several times.

It's only for WiFi model and I don't know what you mean by adapt? I'd need to do a whole new build for the LTE model (Maybe)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] JordanBleu:
Please, could you build it for the LTE model? I desperately need something else apart the slow stock ROM that I'm starting to hate, and I'm very interested in your ROM, but I can't even try it since it's only for the wifi model :crying:

Please, I know I'm begging, but don't forget us, the LTE users :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] AlpacaDev:
I'm literally trying to but I'm new to building and I can't get it to run with Python 2.7

Besides I have college that's why nothing will be on time or consistent.

(Once I have a working build environment then they should be monthly)

(I'm also building for Galaxy Tab 3 10.1, and Moto G 2014 LTE.)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] JordanBleu:
If you want you can tell me how you did it on the wifi model and maybe I can help you; I was trying to build LineageOS 18 (Android 11) for the LTE version by repo syncing with LineageOS 18 and Valera's sources (he also explained in his github how to do) on my openSUSE Tumbleweed installation (Linux) but I got stuck at the proprietary blobs part with extract-files.sh

Now I changed to another Linux distro (Arch Linux), and I have more free time, so I'd be glad to know how you did it specially with that part :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] slowgrind:
But what is exact difference between WIFI and LTE models? Both have Wifi, file structure supposed to be the same? Some sort of certificates etc?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] JordanBleu:
Yes, both have wifi, but the LTE model as the name says supports mobile data, and also I think the CSC and modem firmware are different
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] slowgrind:
SM-T825 LTE should work with the same firmware as SM-T820 WIFI version, for example if mobile 3g/4g connection is not required. Some Samsung firmware surgeon could shed some light into this.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] NullCode:
well like Alpaca said, the firmware of the 820 and 825 are very different. Even though there are basically no differences (other than RIL), Samsung might have totally changed the file structure and added 10k more symlinks to support the modem and RIL and integrate it with the kernel properly. Only God knows what it actually is
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] iGamerProYT:
Quick question. Has the camera and mic issue been resolved in this build?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] PaulieP:
20200829 Build- thanks!

Noticed still only 2 speakers instead of 4, also no Atmos.

For all 4 speakers, what are the likely files we need to pull from factory image?

For Atmos, other than the SoundAlive directory, what else is probably necessary for Atmos (AudioEFX? And what else?).

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] NullCode:
yeah you don't necessarily need Atmos. You can just flash Viper4Android and it does a MUCH better job than Atmos (not beginner friendly though).

Also about the 4 speaker problem I was wondering too, maybe we need more vendor blobs from a working Tab S3 (which I don't have since I hard-bricked mine).
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] gerega:
This ROM project is dead.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] bmwdroid:
Do you know or are assuming?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] gerega:
Oh, okay, I consider a ROM that is maintained in such an unregular basis as this one as dead.

But actually I can live with that! The Tab S3 still is a great tablet for Android pen lovers.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] bmwdroid:
That's a good point but hopefully he's working on 11 already.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] JordanBleu:
I'm a pen lover, but this tablet, even with the debloated custom One UI, runs like ****. I'll never buy a Samsung tablet again.

Also, if you give me a month or two, I will be able to get my new PC and then (maybe, if everything is fine) build LineageOS 18 or Evolution X 5.0 for this tablet (with Valera's tutorial). What I'm not sure though is 1) if the build even boots up and works, and 2) if the same issues will still be there.

The other day I tried to compile LOS 18 but it didn't work, then I realized I had only 2 GB of RAM and that they just weren't enough haha. But once I'll have my PC, I will do it with 16-32 GB of RAM.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] NullCode:
Oh BTW, you just can't build a new version of Android with the device tree of the older firmware. AlaskaLinuxUser does have videos on upgrading device tree to support newer android versions, but they are outdated and are not that possible in our tablet (since AKLU steals things from other devices with the same specs and upgrades his trees with that).

Also in my humble opinion this tablet runs quite smooth with the extensive list of mods I had to do to OneUI (and lose SafetyNet in the process... but its a good trade-off) on top of rory's debloated OneUI. Yeah not that friendly for a beginner but hey it works sort of
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] LedgendaryEpics:
I don't really care to update this tablet anymore with the current Los version I'm fine with it, I just want to find a way to enable onscreen nav keys and I'm all good.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] NullCode:
Not everyone has the same thought process. Most devs like to drain as much life as possible from an old device, so that the price we paid for it cancels out w/ how much we have used it. I share this mentality and as such I am taking lessons on ROM development to try to get more versions out of our Tab [my tab is being JTAG flashed at the moment because of how hard I messed it up].

Now, this is how you will get navbars on AOSP [but it will void Safetynet]:

Root the tab

Install Build.Prop editor

After installing, open it and create a new value

Paste in this: qemu.hw.mainkeys and value is 0

Then press OK and reboot

Now you should see the navbar options in settings

Like always, hit thanks if i helped [no you HAVE to hit thanks] [joking btw]
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Neo3D:
Is SELinux disabled in this ROM? Isn't SELinux Enforcing mode a hard requirement for LOS ROMs?

How did this ROM slip out with it disabled?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] LedgendaryEpics:
Bro, android 10 is write only, to enable navbars with this method i would need write access to the root files to this device, it will have to have been enabled within the kernel of this rom when write access is not available. Im looking for a viable exploit to that and that requires either some good hacking or advanced adb skills or an outreach to the rom developer to enable this natively so no... no thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] NullCode:
ok I have finished my 5 minutes of research, AND android ten is read-only, yes

Thank for your work!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] LedgendaryEpics:
only 2 speakers, camera works not sure about the mic,- build for the most part is stable ( but thats mostly due to android 10's internal restrictions like it being read only, so alot of the mods would either not stick, work perfectly fine, or maybe crash your tablet, but nothing major.

as far as updates, dude says hes in college rn and wont do anything consistently until his schedule opens back up and gets a new laptop, so well probably get security patches from time to time until then, maybe every 6 to 9 months or so...
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] paul_ramone:
Hi,

I have already ask this question in the LOS16 forum a long time ago. But I am still having the same problem.

I have a Tab S3 (T825 - gts3llte). In 2018 I installed LineageOS 14.1 (Valera1978 build) without any problems. In 2019, I tried to install LineageOS 16 (also Valera1978 build), but without success. I was able to flash the ROM using TWRP and I got no error messages. Everything seemed fine. But when I tried to boot to system, I was only able to see the initial logo (the Samsung logo, not the LineageOS logo) for less than one second and then the device vibrated and the system tried to boot again and again and again.

Today, I tried to install LOS17 (also Valera1978 build - lineage-17.1-20200211-UNOFFICIAL-gts3llte). I had the same problem. The system did not boot. The strange thing is that if I install the old LOS14.1, everything works again! Am I doomed to use LOS14.1 forever...?

Summing up: LOS14.1 works, but 15.1, 16.0 and 17.1 don't. Does someone have any idea why this may be happening?

I am using TWRP 3.2.1-1_ashyx.

What I don't understand is: if I am doing something wrong, why am I able to install LOS14.1 without any problems? (I have already tried everything, wipe this, wipe that, wipe everything, formata data, nothing helps; and, again, to install LOS14.1 I just wipe the usual suspects - factory reset - and everything works...)

Thank you for your help. I really would like to upgrade my system...
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] LedgendaryEpics:
Its your bootloader, flash a stock 9.0 bootloader for your device then use odin to flash twrp and from there flash encryption disabler and dm verity along with any magisk verson 20+ and you should be good to go, no gapps required.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] LedgendaryEpics:
Also these builds are kinda glitchy, im actually going to try stock one ui again or maybe the debloated version in the other thread... the guy compiling these builds i think is in college right now so he really only puts out security updates 1 to 2 times a year but might do more once he finishes...
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] BenG7:
Hi @LedgendaryEpics and @paul_ramone

From what I have read, I think for Pie, you are supposed to flash

- RMM V3 bypass

- Dmverity and encryption patch

instead of the oreo-specific Tabs3_oreo_forced encryption_disabler (see here)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] paul_ramone:
Hi all,

Thank you very much for the fast replies! I have just downloaded the files and will try to flash the bootloader tonight. As far as I understood, I only have to flash the stock bootloader, not the entire stock rom, right? (and, after that, flash TWRP, encryption disabler, dm-verity, LOS and Magisk).

Thank you again for the helpful replies!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Alex20137:
Any Lineage 18?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] BenG7:
Look here (i'm editing the steps for your convinience but will not take any responsibility for these instructions - use at your own risk (you should always be alble to reinstall the latest stock with Odin and try again); this is what I did with my own tablet, knowing of the risks entailed...)

1. Put your device in DOWNLOAD mode (POWER + HOME + VOL DOWN)

2. Flash pie bootloader with ODIN using the BL slot

3. Reboot to system

3. Put your device in DOWNLOAD mode again

4. In Odin, uncheck Auto reboot in the Options tab (switch back to the Log tab to follow the flashing process)

5. Still in Odin, load the adequate twrp file (from the "here" link provided above) into the AP slot and hit Start.

6. Once flashing is completed and ODIN reports PASS, immediately reboot

to recovery

by holding POWER + HOME + VOL DOWN

AND

as soon as the screen goes blank change to VOL UP whilst still holding POWER + HOME.

You should have rebooted in TWRP recovery; failure to properly reboot to recovery here will result in stock recovery replacing TWRP at first boot , meaning you need to start again from step 3

7. In twrp, install RMM V3 bypass (I di not reboot here + i did flash the patches in this order as I folloed the instructions here)

8. In twrp, install Dmverity and encryption patch

9. in twrp, format DATA using the *FORMAT DATA button* (where you are required to type "yes") under the wipe options - NOTE - THIS WILL WIPE ALL INTERNAL STORAGE!

10. Flash LOS (magisk is included)

11. Reboot to system - please give it time, it normally takes a few minutes + may also reboot by itself; please be patient

12. please report how you got on.

Hi @BenG7 and @LedgendaryEpics,

Thank you very much for the help. It worked without any problems. I installed LOS17.1 and it is working perfectly!

If I may ask a further, completely unrelated question: I noticed that this rom has no SELinux enforcement. Should I have secutiry concerns because of that?

I'm having the same issue as @brandonoh777 .

My tablet is stuck in the animation intro, after flashing Lineage OS 17

Currently I have TWRP 3.2.1-1

If I try to flash a stock rom from Samsung, the tablet just resets and stays the same.

Do I need to flash it with the correct baseband version?

I've tried flashing 3 different OS: Oreo, Pie and Nougat, but no luck.

Additionally how do I check my version, since I no longer have acess to the menus.

Thanks

What do you mean "version" device or OS?

On the back of my T825 it's written.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] FreshestDude:
Mine is a T820 and just says Samsung and "Tuned by AKG"

Example:

Android Version	8.0 Oreo
Baseband	T820XXU1BRE2_T820OXA1BRE2_BTU

I will try using a newer TWRP
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] bmwdroid:
Beneath that (with a strong light) I see on mine the Serial number and more.

Afaik for pure WiFi devices a baseband version is not that important.

Wifi is standardised all over the world.

On my T810 "Device Info HW" shows none while on T825 it does.

Bootloader is more important imo.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] FreshestDude:
In the meantime I managed to flash it correctly.

The problem was that I was using an older version o Odin.

Thank you.
