LOS 16 is the most stable and light. Newer versions are just for people who need the features of new Android versions, or just to say: "hey, I have an updated Tab 4 at the almost latest version of Android!"
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] sgtdeathadder:
'll stick with LOS 16 then. It feels pretty snappy. Thanks for your comments and your work!
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] sgtdeathadder:
I'm using the original charger and cable but it did not charge while being shut down, is that a known issue? it's charging now that it's on but super slowly.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] ColineJ:
Hello,

I'm using Lineage 16.0-2022-0209 but after flashing LineageOS, the tablet doesn't boot. I get a loading bootloop and after a few minutes, the tablet boots on TWRP...I don't know what to do presently. What can I try ? Thanks you.

EDIT : In TWRP, I made a Factory Reset and it booted well after that.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] kelski:
First off, I want to say thanks for all your work! Got this all installed yesterday & it really breathed some new life in to my old tablet. The only problem I'm having is that included email app just crashes the second I try to open it. Has anyone else had this problem? I really wanted to use it instead of an app off the play store.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] JoshRoderick18:
Hi, im having a problem with the mobile data on SM-T535. Does anyone have it working?
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] matteo0026:
Yep, it's a known issue. I thought I have fixed it in the past...

It should work fine. Check if the APN of your provider is set and if it's correct.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] JoshRoderick18:
I already checked it, even deleted the APN and reconfigured it and nothing. I also did a Dalvik/Cache wipe and mobile data still doesn't work. That's the only problem I'm having with this ROM, everything else works fine and I can even send SMS and make calls. I hope you can help me to solve it.

Great job with the ROM!
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] slavko49:
I confirm, it is the same for me. That's why I went back to the 2021/10/13 ROM, this one works very well.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] pableras172:
Hello matteo0026 ,

Thank you very much for your work.

I have followed all the steps but after installing the gapps and restarting the tablet it shows the samsung logo and does not advance.

I've tried rebooting, clearing cache, reinstalling and it still doesn't work.

Now is restarting in infinite loop.

My tablet is Samsung Galaxy Tab4 SM-T535

You can help?

Thank you,
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] matteo0026:
Did you use my latest TWRP? Which build and which gapps did you use?
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] pableras172:
Hi matteo0026, thanks for your fast reply.

I try with twrp-3.5.2_9-0-matisse and twrp-3.6.0_9-0-matisse

Lineage-> lineage-18.1-20220416-UNOFFICIAL-matisselte.zip

Gapps -> open_gapps-arm-11.0-nano-20220215.zip

I try distinct packages and I see

[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] matteo0026:
Try to flash pico gapps. And well... you are off topic here. This is the thread of LOS 16, not 18.1
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] pableras172:
Oops! I'm sorry! I think I was in correct thread. Thanks!

I try pico gapps and I change forum thred.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] traspa07:
Congratulations for the amazing job you are doing.

Thanks to you the oldest tablets have a second life.

I have read about several versions of yours with LOS 16, 17 and 18, so you say the most stable is 16 but I can't download it, do you recommend another version? I have joined the Telegram group but I only see 17 and 18, I have also read that you are going to upload a new version of 16, could you tell me where to download it?

Thank you again.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] matteo0026:
17 and 18 can be used without any big problem, but they are less snappy. In the next days I'll upload the new builds of LOS 16. Unfortunately, I don't have much free time
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] traspa07:
Are you going to upload LOS16 to the Telegram group?

Where can I download previous LOS16?

Thanks again for your work
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] matteo0026:
Of course, in the channel there will be all the new builds. Previous LOS 16 are uploaded on androidfilehost, but that site isn't working properly for the most of the time...
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] matteo0026:
Hi everyone,

New builds of LOS 16 are online!

Changelog:

- Merged security patches from February to September 2022

2 notes:

- security patches will still be shown as January 2022, but I've applied all the available patches

- downloads are available only on my Telegram channel (link in first post) because AFH isn't working to upload new files
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] Abelks23:
any compatible Custom ROM for Galaxy SM-T230NU?
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] matteo0026:
Yes, but not based on aosp. Check xda.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] djhooker:
Hi matteo0026,

is it now possible to upload current builds to AFH? It would be great if they could be published there again.

Thanks a lot!

I have tried a different version of Odin and twrp but no luck. I also brought a new micro USB cable, but it didn't help either.

Is there anything else I can check to troubleshoot this?

Thanks

I have exactly the same problem. I have also tried with several cables and chargers but the charging does not work properly.

Have you been able to solve it?
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] matteo0026:
Hi guys, new builds are up.

Changelog:

- December 2022 security patches

They are uploaded only on telegram
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] Loran_69:
Thanks!

In fact I came just to thanks you Matteo. I was (still) a complete noob regarding Android, and thanks to all your explanation, and your functioning out-of-the-box software (TWRP and LOS16), I was able to revive my good old Sm-T530 with success! You do a very great job, so thanks a bunch!
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] matteo0026:
Hi guys, I had to remove builds from Telegram because of my error while compiling them. I'm going to publish new builds in the next days.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] matteo0026:
Hi everyone,

I've uploaded the new builds.

Changelog:

- December 2022 security patches (now they are written in a separated string in about tablet menu)

- Updated Webview to v.108 (before it was at v.100)

- First version with OTA support. Next builds will be updatable from Lineage Updater app, like the official builds.

They are uploaded on Telegram and GitHub: https://github.com/matteo0026/OTA/releases/tag/2.0
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] Loran_69:
Edit: Nearly fixed! It seems both of my SDCard are corrupted, or the SDcard reader in the Tab is dying. Going through a USB stick, and an USB on the Go cable, did the trick. Now, whatever version I flash (14-10 or 16-12) I have an error message appearing at system boot saying "Factory reset something" and the Tab reboot in recovery by itself. Bah Enough for this year, I'll continue later! :)

Hi @matteo0026,

I made a mistake somewhere ,I guess...

On my SM-T530 all was working fine with LineageOS 14/10 for weeks thanks to you.

I tried to update with last LineageOS version 16/12 and got an Error 7. Then I tried to reflash the previous one and Error 7 too.

I then decided to reset all and flashed via Odin official Samsung 5.0.2 (AP and then BL as if not it stay stuck on boot), and all work perfect. Assuming 5.0.2 was perfect when launched ;)

Then, I reflashed last TWRP 3.7.0_9 and it worked fine, like the first time.

Now I'm back where I was, and flashing through TWRP any LineageOS version (14/10 or 16/12) it still drop me an Error 7 :( I tried 2 different SD card...

I should have not tried to update, now I'm stuck :(

Any advice ?

Edit: I did 3 loop (5.0.2->TWRP->LineageOS->Twist again) and still Error 7 each time. I decided for now to stay on official 5.0.2 as it work fine, and wait to find an idea or be educated ;)
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] Loran_69:
Happy New Year :)

Ok for clarity I'll continu here:

After installing LineageOS (any version), without GAPS flashed, after LineageOS logo I have directly an error message "Factory Data Reset", then it reboot in Recovery.

With GAPS flashed I have first the welcome screen and selection of language, and before I can do something appear a Google error saying "Speech Service Google keeps stopping" and then "Factory Data Reset", and reboot in Recovery.

I was able to capture that on video as it came really quick and go:

As said, if now I flash official Rom 5.0.2 (AP and BL) all work fine, it's just LineageOS which don't want to run, and it was running really fine for weeks before I tried to upgrade.

Any advice are welcome!
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] elphio_it:
I have the exact same problem.

I solved it by taking these steps:

TWRP > Wipe everything

Install lineage-16.0-20211013

Install lineage-16.0-20221216

Install open_gapps-arm-9.0-pico-20220215

Reboot.

On the first reboot there will be a chrash that will cause the tablet to reboot.

Then everything will work as normal.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] Loran_69:
I'll try that, thanks! :)
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] djamolsky:
Hi matteo0026 , thanks for keeping alive our tablet. Great job, really appreciated!

Planning to release a January update?
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] matteo0026:
I'm going to delay, but I'll come. If not with January patches, then with February ones.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] djamolsky:
Sounds good!

Possibly it has already been asked (sorry, can't find anything about that on this chan):

any way to include the "signature spoofing" patch in your builds? More details about that here:

https://github.com/microg/GmsCore/wiki/Signature-Spoofing

gapps on this old device is really a resource/battery killer...

If not possible, no problem, completely understandable :)

Thanks again!
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] the_wing:
Hi all,

Thanks to Matteo for the awesome work! I just wanted to mention that I was eventually able to flash LOS 16 with Android Pie on my girlfriend's old Matisse/ SM-T530 (10.1) without issues. Only issue I had is this "Speech Service by Google keeps stopping" popping up at first system boot which I think closed itself in a couple of secs. I went on with the setting and had no "Factory data reset" issue other users are experiencing.

I first updated to stock 5.0.2 ROM via OTA, then I flashed TWRP with Odin and then I could flash LOS + GAPPS Pico. YouTube seems working (did only a couple of vids though), also Netflix and Disney+ apps are working great, got them directly from Play Store. So very nice! I didn't think that such an old thing with the Qualcomm 400 could still perform that great (well it isn't really great, but if you have a little bit of patience while tapping it is totally usable).

Also I have to mention I did quite some research on how to unlock the bootloader on such old Samsung devices, and from what I have understood I came to the conclusion that the bootloader is already unlocked when you go to the Download mode, so you don't have to do anything at all. Please correct me if I'm wrong (not sure if someone else did it before me)!!!

It's really awesome that there is still support for these old devices from the XDA community, so again many thanks to Matteo! Just for the record: the last "official" security patch from Samsung was from February 2017 (and it's quite some time considering the Tablet came out in 2014)!!

Sorry for my long post, but I have another question, just out of curiosity: Is there a good reason to stay to LOS 16 or should I try out the other LOS 17.1 or 18.1 that I guess come up with more up to date Android versions? From the "Known issues" list it seems that they more or less have all the same issues...

Thanks again!

Michele
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] matteo0026:
Hi Michele, about the bootloader, there isn't the option to unlock it, so I guess it's unlocked yet.

LOS 16 is lighter than 17.1 and 18.1, which is better for daily usage.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] matteo0026:
Hi everyone! New releases of LOS 16 are online. You can get the OTA from the updater app or wait that it comes up automatically!

Changelog:

- January 2023 security patches
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] RomainD2:
Hi,

My stepmother ask me to reset his Galaxy Tab 4, SM-T530 Wifi which is under Android 5.0.2.

I thought that it would be good to update it with a more recent ROM.

Mains requirements are stability, fluidity and good battery life, which ROM do you recommand between your LineageOS 16, 17 and 18 ROMs ?

Futhermore, I have some difficulties to choose the right TWRP recovery on the telegram channel to download ? Could you tell me which one I should download for my tablet ?

Thanks !
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] matteo0026:
The best ROM between those 3 is LOS16.

About twrp, download the 3.7.0 for matisse, obviously tar format to be flashed on odin.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] RomainD2:
Thanks,

And I can directly donwload the latest file lineage-16.0-20230126-UNOFFICIAL-matissewifi.zip and install it from Android 5.0.2 ?
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] J.Michael:
You do not install a new ROM "from" Android.

Without TWRP, on Samsung, all installing is "from" a PC, using Odin.

If you have never installed a ROM on a Samsung device, maybe this is not the best test case.

What did your mother-in-law mean by "reset"? Why not just factory reset / wipe data?
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] RomainD2:
Thanks I successfully flash the last lineage os ROM with TWRP.

I were confused because on the first page there are links for previous lineage os ROM before December, I thought that we should use these ROM before flash the last one.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] TomL2:
Just want to say thanks for this great rom. I am very successfully running the 20220209 release on my SM-T530NU.

Two questions -

Should I move up to one of the later generic builds or stay with the 20220209 which seems specific to the Tab 4 10.1"?

Where can I find TWRP 3.7.0? The links send me to 3.6.2.

Thanks again, great work!
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] TomL2:
Oh, and when I click on any of the links for TWRP 3.6.2 I get "no mirrors found".
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] matteo0026:
Latest builds aren't generic. Check better. TWRP 3.7.0 is in that channel too, just search for it.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] TomL2:
Channel?

It would be a lot faster and easier for everyone if you just posted the link. The link at the top of this thread doesn't work.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] TomL2:
I see all your repositories on github but I dont see one for TWRP.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] SuperUser008:
Hi,

I installed LOS and Gapps according to installation instructions. Was not happy with GApps, wiped again system, data, cache, dalvik/art cache and internal storage and installed LOS only. However after reboot there appears a message for a short time, something like "applying factory reset" and the tablet reboots in recovery mode.

I repeated this procedure multiple times without success. The tablet just does not boot in system. Any suggestions?
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] Concept48:
Only Mateo can !! Great work as usual .
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] TomL2:
My normal procedure for reinstalling is:

Boot to recovery

Wipe system, data. cache, davik, internal storage

Boot to recovery

Copy ROM zip (from my Mac in this case) to tablet

Install ROM using TWRP

Wipe cache, davik

Boot system.

Is that what you did?
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] TomL2:
Just for grins I installed the latest 20230126 on my matissewifi and I get the same - get the Lineage screen then immediate boot to recovery! Guess I'll go back to where I was until a new stable ROM is released.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] SuperUser008:
Now I followed exactly the steps you suggested (before I missed wiping cache, davik after installing the ROM). Unfortunately with the same outcome.

My TWRP version is 3.6.2_9-1 (although installed twrp-3.6.2_9-0-matisse).

The LOS file is lineage-16.0-20230126-UNOFFICIAL-matissewifi.zip
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] TomL2:
20221216 release does the same - Lineage screen then immediate boot to recovery.

20220209 release is stable. Any others?
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] SuperUser008:
Thanks for reproducing. Do you know where to get 20220209 release?
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] TomL2:
https://androidfilehost.co/?fid=17825722713688283096

I'm also testing another rom - https://androidfilehost.co/?fid=4279422670115708985

This is crDroid based on Android 11 as opposed to Android 9. So far it seem stable, responsive, nobloat, and with good battery life. Magick installed easily. I think I'm going to stay with it for a while
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] SuperUser008:
The 20220209 release booted but was not very stable eather on my device. The built-in browser crashed every time I tried to download anything. So I could not run any app besides the built-in apps.

Crdroid runs very smoothly, so I'm going to stick with it. Thanks for the hint.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] CENTCI:
thank you guys for the good work done, I follow the procedure very well until i install the ROM for Samsung tab 4 SM-T531 10.1, and now i cant reboot my tab anymore, its stack at SAMSUNG TAB 4 LOGO and keep rebooting again and again. anybody here to help.

thanks for the hard work @matteo0026 , i have tried lineage 18.0 and now am running 16.0 but all of them show no sim card, for matisse3g, are you planning to improve this or you have already done it and i seems not to find the link.

any response would so helpful from @matteo0026 or anyone with an idea i can bring back my sim card.

thx.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] matteo0026:
I don't have any ideas on how to fix that, honestly. I thought I fixed that in the past yet... I don't understand why this issue came out another time... You should try the build where I wrote in the changelog that I've fixed it.

okay i will keep looking for that Build, thank @matteo0026

i have used this lineage-16.0-20210111-UNOFFICIAL-matisse3g.

[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] Faren00b:
Yup. Sim doesnt work cuz mattisewifi (t530) doesnt have a sim tray but WiFi and Bluetooth work. And make sure to use the latest build which is a 2022 build.

[Galaxy Tab 4 Original Android Development] DerivativeOfLog7:
Thanks for this ROM!

I "downgraded" from Android 11 crDroid to this (without Gapps) so I can actually use the tablet without the incapacitating lag

Since I use it to view recorded classes or PDFs, I don't care about having an older version (which, btw, how are you still releasing security patches if both Pie and 10 are EOL? Genuinely curious)

Too bad for the half-baked (more like quarter-baked) dark mode in Pie that still leaves many parts white... (mostly) fixed thanks to substratum + swift black (bought a long time ago)!

Maybe I'll think about pushing it to LOS 17.1, how are the battery life and performance on that compared to this?
