Have people been running this ROM smoothly? I have tried flashing and reflashing this ROM maybe 10 different times in the past two weeks but no matter what I do, it's very unstable.

#1 Multiple times a day, it'll suddenly just freeze and reboot itself. No particular app or action seems to trigger it; it can happen even if I'm not using it.

#2 Also, if the screen has been off for a while, it takes forever to turn back on. No matter if I use fingerprint, power button, or any combination of the buttons, the screen remains black for a couple of minutes. During these minutes, I can hear system noises, feel vibration feedback, and the buttons next to the fingerprint scanner will light up, but just a black screen. After a few minutes it'll suddenly pop on and let me enter my password.

Once the display actually turns on and I can unlock it and get inside, it's generally kinda smooth and responsive - that is, of course, until issue #1 above occurs. Which it will.

I'm sure you helpful people will ask for much more specific details but off the top of my head, I begin every new attempt with a wipe data (type 'yes'). I'm rooting with Magisk (canary), not flashing any gapps, TWRP 3.2.1-1, and flashing RMM-State-Bypass-v3 & Disable_DM-verity. (that list is not like a chronological install order, it's just things off the top of my head)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] veepee78:
Exactly similar behavior here.

Not my primary tab, so I just shut it down when not using. Saves a lot of trouble. Hopefully issues are solvable, this run 2x better than official.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] seanbaggey:
That's a shame; I'm trying to use this as a primary (mostly for grad school which means opening massive PDFs or epub textbooks)

Is this really the best we can do? Or is there more stable ways to go if I stay away from Android 10/11? Have you (or anyone, really) had more stable-success from a different rom than this one?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] LedgendaryEpics:
which build did you flash?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] seanbaggey:

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] LedgendaryEpics:
Flash the febuary version
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] elchmartin:
seems like i did something wrong with encryption ... i installed TWRP through ODIN, installed latest ROM build +Gapps +Magisk(canary), after booting it tells me to facotry reset (theres a button for that).

"Encryption unsuccessful" -> Erase All Data ...

BUT the button does not do anything. tried to format /data in TWRP, but it fails (also when mounting /data)... and /data is 0MB ... what am I missing?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] elchmartin:
so well then ... after using my brian brain for a bit, i figured that i might just need to format /data first ^_^

next try then, thanks for reading anyway :O

it runs now and i'm copying apps.

had the issue with the display not turning on when i lelft the tab sit for a few minutes ... but its still setiing itself up with apps so maybe it will get better soon, but ill look into that later.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] beansta2k7:
This tablet is proving an absolute disappointment to me this far.

So close yet no dice.

Unless someone has also had a similar issue to myself where lineage OS will not recognise gamepad input even though said controller (in this instance, it's an iPega 9175 tablet telescopic gamepad) worked absolutely fine on the stock pie ROM, then I will be forced to go back to the default stock ROM. the main reason I went to lineage OS was for adoptable storage useability because games refuse to install onto external storage
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] goodraj14:
Hi guys..

I got the same drm problem.

Cant run disney+, netflix.

I got the Netflix app from github and also tried the modded one.

I have Libencrypto mod on magisk.

I have Disable dm verify installed.

I have put all those apps in magisk hide.

Still cant stream them.

Lineage 17.1.

Magisk ver 23.0
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] HenryStar:
I tried this rom couple of days and it seem stable. But when I connected the bluetooth controller to play games, it found the kontroller bit it didnt nothing.

Other wise, stable rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Sage:
just installed. so much faster than stock.. no issues at all other than Microphone.. Thank you for your efforts!

Though i actually need microphone...) so just wasted an hour... please update post #1 to advise Microphone doesnt work so other people don't waste their time :)

(And yes i know people were saying in the thread that they were having mic issues though i always trust the Op not the users :) ).

will try another ROM.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] LedgendaryEpics:
use the updated 18.1 rom
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Sage:
Yeah using 18.1 now so far so good!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Stogie87:
I tell you guys,

this was the last time I bought a Samsung tablet device. The stock firmware is incredible slow, even galaxy tab s6 seems to be a joke, because the stock firmware causes micro lags and the Knox security system is always a pain.

Further more there is no samsung tablet device with spen and a bug free custom rom.

With all custom roms for s3 the spen is useless and with stock rom Knox causes randomly, that the system stops booting on pie, because of root and you have to wipe everything.

Soft bricking?

Anyone else experiencing a soft brick after installing this rom? I'm stuck on rebooting to the Samsung logo again & again
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] clonato:
Hi

my line as the same as yours

both files
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] redtop012000:
My lines were the same but I still copied and pasted the system build line into vendor build.

Config files can contain an error that is not obvious so worth a try. Worked for me.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] lateforwork1000:
Okey after instilling this rom I notice graphical problems ( unusual color in games and apps) I shortly uninstall the and flash back my stock rom. After I did this when ever i tap the power button on or off my screen will flicker ( looks like a broken tv when it happens ). I now think my tablet is now brickt it will not turn on anymore. Just a heads up they may or not happen to you but be care full not sure if it was this rom that did this but it does seem like it.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] filjusz:
Of course thats not because of this custom rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ammadeusy:
hi Stogie87. with the release of "3. 20191224" are you sill experiencing problems? i am about to apply it right now, but I am afraid of your past feedbacks happening to me as well. thanks for the help. br and merry xmas.

---------- Post added at 11:12 ---------- Previous post was at 10:33 ----------

may be related to overheat during boot (happening here at this second) and then follows damage of parts of the screen. can be, indeed, related to the custom rom. it happened to me in galaxy s5 with official nightly lineage/cyanogenmod. i would never rule that out for any custom rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Stogie87:
I am sorry, but i am back to stock rom.

I don't think, that any of the issues are fixed with latest build. There is nothing mentioned in the changelog and normally the dev only releases source- and security updates but no fixes after his first release. At least he did it on lineage os 16.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] gerega:
So sad that there is so little improvement for the S3! I think even Samsung has stopped any further updates for it.

The handling of the S-pen is essential for this tab and the main difference to other tabs as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ammadeusy:
a quick report from the version from 24.12.2019: installed very fast (under 5 mins). first install were not working because i forgot to double-proof DATA partition as stated in TWRP instructions for Oreo. now everything seems smooth. i will test the apps (netflix) that requires magisk hide to work and report back. as well i will check if temperatures are working normally.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] lartomar2002:
I downlowed liboemcrypto.so on Magisk, it hides root from DRM so apps like Netflix can play.

Also, When I first updated from 8.0 to 9.0 I got the Same message you did and the reason was because in the developers section I had OEM debug disabled. What I was told I had done was "bricked" my tablet. So, I am not technical enough to unbrick my own tablet so I went to 1Click Root and for $40.00 they unbricked it and will install any custom rom you want. It took a while because one of the files they had to download took 4 hours from a very slow server. You might get lucky and get a tech that has a lot of the files they use stored on his own Google 1 account. Good luck

Does 4speakers work well(can play sonud,direction not important)?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] mistamista2000:
Loving this room so far. Had no idea that Lineage could make an almost 3 year old laggy tablet feel like a brand new device! The one problem I'm having is brightness control. I normally keep the screen between 90-100% but every now and then the screen goes to 50% and then down to 0%. Adaptive is turned off. A reboot doesn't help. Just seems to clear on its own. Did a full wipe and re-loaded the rom from scratch and it still happens. Any ideas or solutions would be much appreciated.

---------- Post added at 09:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:29 AM ----------

Just tested and only my two bottom speakers work.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] j_jorgensen:
Yep. Same issue here. I had a rooted original rom (i think android 8 or 9). Tried flashing lineage OS 17 as per the instructions, and now Im really stuck in a boot loop - cant recover at all. RIght now im waiting for the stock rom to download, so I can try that one. Cant make it boot system at all :(

Did you solve the issue? and if yes, how?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] elreymon:
Incredible, after falshing I can´t complete the Android Installation Welcome Wizard. It asks for a wifi (mandatory) after that the dialog says it´s searching for updates. After a minute or so says it cant connect. So I can´t even finish the wizard. Very frustrating :((
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] elreymon:
Well, after reflashing the device behaved different and now it´s working ok. I don´t know what really happened in the first flash.

What I see is (vía Google Truts) that this compiled LOS ROM has no enabled SELinux...... ¿? Not sure exactly why.

Damn, damn, damn, damn..... :(

After flashing this ROM I see that the terrible wifi fail happens. The wifi transfer rate drops to zero for almost 1 o 2 minutes.

Sadly ROM unusable :( :(
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] lartomar2002:
Are you trying to flash this to the device in your signature?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] elreymon:
Of course, not. My signature is out-dated. I will update it. Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] JordanBleu:
What kind of signature are you talking about ? Sorry for bothering you, but I don't know what is this, so tomorrow or earlier I will try to flash that ROM for my Tab S3 (T825).

---------- Post added at 04:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:47 AM ----------

It will work the fast charge ? Because recharge a big 6000mAh battery in slow charge would be very complicated, specially for those who wants this tablet to be charged quickly...
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] lartomar2002:
Originally your signature showed a "Samsung Galaxy S3" which is a phone and I thought you might have been in the wrong forum since the phone and the tablet description were so similar. I have seen others make this mistake.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] elreymon:
Well, finally solved. The key was that in the wellcome wizard of android I told it to use the backup of my actual phone. Then android used exactly the same configuration (as the phone) to setup the wifi, including the fixed IP. So my phone and my tablet both had the same IP in the LAN. No one of them showed any error, message or warning. But after investigation I fanally detected that. Thanks in advance to all fo you.

This compilation is going all ok. Great work
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] JordanBleu:
How can I change it ?.

I am not confusing the Galaxy S3 (2012) and Galaxy TAB S3 (2017).

I will flash this ROM for my tablet.

And, I don't know if the signature is in the ROM or in XDA, is very confusing...

Could you help me please ?.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] abhixec:
Have issue unlocking, once I lock the screen pressing the power button doesn't show the lock screen. The screen continues to stay blank.

The device reboots multiple times unexpectedly and unprecedentedly

Any one else facing these issues?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ammadeusy:
Hey Stogie, for me the installation of the new version worked very good. Only Netflix was an issue, having to return to an old version because of Netflix's new architecture in the app. Other than that, from all the items you mentioned not working for you I had no issues. To be honest I did not test the pictures issue, the rest is not really relevant to me. For me the tablet is only a reading device (e-books, magazines, comics, pdf's), so it does not really matter anything else than easy of configuration and saving battery. The latter is performing a loooot better than with original samsung's firmware. br
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Stogie87:
Thanks, but i bought the device because of the SPen and with this rom you can't is it, because of the missing palm rejection feature. In your case a norml galaxy Tab would do the job, if you don't need the pen.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] lartomar2002:
You go to your control panel and open it and on that page on the left side you will see "edit signature" click on that. It will open your signature page where you can edit your signature and then save.

Getting the following error. Can someone tell me how I have to go about fixing it?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Stogie87:
I had the same and found no way to fix it. Changed things in build.prop and tried several magisk modules to fix it, but nothing helped.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] schmolch:
I had the same error popping up initially, but after installing the ROM again it disappeared.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] JordanBleu:
Do you have a micro SD card ?.

Try, before, back up efs.

After format the tablet.

Then make a factory reset wipe, and after wipe dalvik, system, data, cache and internal storage.

Then flash the ROM, and flash after NikGapps instead of Open Gapps.

And after, restore efs.

Reboot it and try if if works.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] abhixec:
yep this seemed to the trick for me though had to reinstall more than once for some odd reason
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] nompute:
Been trying to get this working for a couple of days - system boots fine but requires Magisk to be stable (otherwise it reboots shortly after booting into the OS). The big issue for me is that the microphone doesn't work. Reflashed back to stock 9.0 build with Odin and everything's fine, then a dirty flash of lineage 17.1 on top (format data + factory restore only) to see if maybe some drivers were missing, but still no ability for the mic to pick anything up. Has anybody else run into this? I should add I'm using the latest 20200113 build.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] VVombat:
Palm rejection is broken on LineageOS' side. Nothing he can do there besides fixing it in LOS master.

Maybe don't hate on devs so much and fix it yourself. It's open source for a reason.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] nompute:
Bringing this back to topic - do other people have a working mic? Ie, works with Google Assistant/Camera video recording/Recorder? Happy to help dig into this, but I have no idea whether this is a kernel driver issue, config issue etc. If you do have a working mic, what was your installation process, and are you coming from stock Pie/Android 9 from Samsung?

Thread cleaned

Hey everyone let's refrain from the bickering and rude comments. Remember that this is supposed to be a fun hobby for us all. So let's just be nice and as a general rule of thumb you won't like every rom you try. If you try one and don't like it, just move on and flash another one. No need to tell us all

Pen support

Hey I'm looking into installing this room and was wondering the pen still would work on the tablet with the custom rom installed
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] schmolch:
I am trying to use exfat or ext4 on my micro sd-card (400gb) but neither is recognized by the rom and i am only offered to format the card (which ends up being fat32).

I am confused why this is, does anyone have any idea?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] VVombat:
Hey, the pen itself is working. But there is the mentioned issue with palm rejection. Basically when you draw a line and your palm touches the display the whole line drawn until then will be removed. If you use the pen simply for marking stuff you should be fine. Writing isn't working that great this way though. As already mentioned this is a problem on lineageos' end, not a problem OP can fix on his end.
