Hello, I recently purchased my tablet. SM-T510. Planning to flash this custom rom as many said the tablet is smooth and lag free. I'm curious since this tab only has 2gb of ram, how many of free ram available after flashing this rom along with gapps?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Axident1973:
Hi. I don't know numbers, have no tablet here now, but, yes 2GB RAM is very low and sounds bad for very good designed tablet. But, this ROM working for me without lags and i think is better than original stock ROM. But if running more aps on background, you must stop it for smooth running Netflix or HBO.

I have no functional problem with this Nexus ROM and use it every day, primary for movies.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] lewmur:
I beg to differ. 2gb of RAM isn't "very low". It isn't as much as you'd find in "top of the line" tablets, but for its price range, it is about what one would expect. But I think what the OP is really asking is "How does this custom ROM compare with the stock ROM when it comes to memory usage?". And the answer is "It's better". The main purposes of a custom ROM is to "debloat" and " increase performance" and this ROM does a good job of that.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Magendanz:
Well, 2GB is considered "low RAM" by Google's standards, which is why they'll soon require Android Go for devices with 2GB or less. If you have a 2G/32G config, I recommend the AQ variant, since AOSP should consume even less RAM than LineageOS. Consider also disabling any of the Google apps you're not using in Settings->Apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] X-Nemesis:
Also experiencing the same result but with the previous Security patch from July 1/2020

Can anyone offer some advice?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] CarinaPDX:
That looks like VaultKeeper at work. Have you tried resetting it? See link in post #285.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] wrxyboy:
Im having the same issues. I see oem unlocking in my developer options. Did the vualt locker reset. Fails to install on Odin.

Update: I didnt unlock bootloader properly
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Axident1973:
One thing minus: i am very satisfied for this rom and using it almost every day. But my device (128GB Kingston ext SD card) have issue with connect in PC. It didn't. But i am using card reader.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] lewmur:
Sure, Google would love to have more RAM to load more bloat, but my T510 with 2gb runs just fine. Of course, I don't expect a tablet in its price range to perform like a $1000 one. I also have a T720 and I've seen people say it's no good.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Sift:
Great rom! Really no lag and everything is fine and dandy. However I noticed the tablet restarts itself in the middle of the night. Anyone know the cause of this?

I'm using AOSP version of the rom, by the way.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] X-Nemesis:
Thank you, I'll check that out.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] mauricefbell:
Very satisfied with this ROM as well, I've been using it for a few weeks now. It's very smooth and stable enough for day to day usage (using the AQ version with infinity kernel). The only issue I've run into so far is a Bluetooth connectivity issue where I have to connect and reconnect a few times before sound plays from my Bluetooth speaker instead of the device speakers.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] kikoarl:
Been using this rom for a few days and it runs much better than stock rom, thanks op!!

However my sd won't work no matter which file system it is. Anyone got any clue?? Thank you everyone!!

Try to install the infinity Kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] kikoarl:
I already saw that Infinity Kernel supports exFAT, so I flashed it with no luck. Tried every FS available in TWRP and the tablet doesn't recognize the SD card.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Magendanz:
Here's a drop of the AQ variant for T510XXU3BTFN, the new Android 10 OEM firmware release. There is an issue right now with the custom kernel not working with the OEM system, but the Nexus builds seem to be working fine. Also, Samsung seems to have made a change in the bootloader preventing the main logo.jpg in the param.bin from being picked up, so you won't see the Nexus logo on boot. However, it is picking up the other two custom images that dial back the scary bootloader unlock warnings. Finally, the latest OpenGApps Stock variant posted is almost a month old, and there's no indication when those will return.

This is a pretty major update, and so I'm posting it here first for early adopters. If the rollout goes smoothly, I'll update in the OP.

Now that's an update! Thanks OP! Got SD card working as well with latest update. The only annoyance is to have Widevine L1 but only watching Prime Video and Netflix in SD quality, but man, the tablet runs amazingly well compared with Samsung One UI stock.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] punpun1:
Hello,

I installed the latest update (coming from previous version) and got stuck in a bootloop. Thought it was because my system is quite heavily modded I should wipe my system, data and do a clean flash. However even after doing that it's still stuck in a bootloop. To add to that, I still see the nexus logo, even though it shouldn't be there anymore (?). Has anyone else experienced this?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Magendanz:
Did you install the Android 10 OEM firmware (T510XXU3BTFN) first? This custom ROM is intended to be installed over that release.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] punpun1:
Thank you. No, I did not. I didn't have any knowledge of this. I'll go download and install the firmware now. I Will report later on, but I believe it should work.

EDIT: Installed and works fine now. No issues after that.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Axident1973:
Please, where i found it (OEM firmware), thanks. I stuck in boot too and installed previously release back, but some issues there (no charging, when tablet is not power off, no connect to PC, is fixed in new update?). Thanks

thanks!

Also I heard that Legion (OS?) + infinity kernel works well on the T510, so i tried flashing it as a system image in twrp after installing this rom (August build that magendanz uploaded a couple days ago), but i keep getting stuck in a bootloop.

Have u tried this and do you think it's worth me flashing legion or should i just flash infinity on this nexus rom?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] fatherrabbi:
I had this issue. I formatted data BEFORE flashing the Legion system image. Works great, especially with Infinity kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] 0KimT1:
Sorry I'm not sure I follow :/

This is what I did:

1) Unlock bootloader

2) enter download mode

3) install nexus tar file to AP with Odin

4) in TWRP, format data

5) reboot to system

6) skip setup and confirm usb debugging and oem unlock are on

7) boot to twrp

8) copy legion system image to ext sd

9) wipe dalvik cache, cache, data and system in advanced wipe

10) flash legion img as system image

11) resize sytem partition

12) (staying in TWRP) flash gapps

Where have I gone wrong :(
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] lewmur:
Wipe again and reflash Legion image. Let it boot to setup to make sure Legion is working. Then reboot to TWRP and try a different gapps.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] 0KimT1:
but when i flash the legion image and press reboot to system, it says no OS installed.

I'll try it again and let u know if it worked or not.

BTW are you using the latest build of Nexus that Magendanz uploaded a couple days ago? and also does it even matter what version of nexus is being used?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] lewmur:
Well, at least you proven the problem is with Legion and not gapps. You shouldn't need gapps installed in order to boot. I haven't installed the latest Nexus yet. I usually wait a little while to see what problems others report. But it shouldn't matter what ROM you had previously. The wipe should have deleted it. It's been a while since I tried Legion, so maybe someone currently using it can help.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Magendanz:
Please take this to a forum on Legion OS. This one is a discussion for my Nexus Stock custom ROM.

So, I install new OEM ROM from Samsung and then last version of Nexus ROM and everything working good, thanks. Even sd card is visible and working on PC, but i still have only one issue - charging working only when device is off - do you have same error or its something wrong in my piece? Thanks for answers and tips.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] waterpolo:
I have als installed the latest firmware with Nexus ROM and have no charging issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Axident1973:
Its strange, because on my device when is on and connect charger-nothing. And is brand new instalation with format data and etc... its mystery :( (In off mode device charging normally ok)

Edit: mystery solved! Reason is charger, because I use from Mi Note 10 and until that time, charging in online mode normally, so i try change charger with weaker and voila - this combination working properly in online mode.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Magendanz:
Currently, there is no arm64 OEM vendor image for the SM-T510. It would have to be adapted from one of Samsung's other Exynos 7904 devices like the Galaxy A30 or A40.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] zzjea:
While installing the latest Nexus zip via TWRP, also installed magisk zip with it (both together) plus I installed the multi function disabler zip (all together) while in TWRP.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Magendanz:
The Multi-disabler is already baked into the Nexus custom ROM, so there's no need to install it again.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] zzjea:
Okay. Must have missed that somewhere. Had no ill effects installing it again though.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Magendanz:
Yes, as Ian says, "The code has been written to be idempotent, which means you can safely flash the multi-disabler multiple times without fear of unintended side-effects."

Now I have to find a way to work that word into one of my CS classes. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] FL0R1AN:
I just installed on my SM-T510 with no problems. I must say nice work, it is definitely much faster and does not lag as the original Samsung ROM...bear in mind that it has only 2 GB RAM.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] DeathMD:
Thank you for your reply. No problem, since you're releasing a Lineage build, I'm going to switch to that one when the Gapps issue is solved.

I can confirm this on the 20200223 build, I also noticed this in the afternoon. There are no alarms set at all. Is your device rootet?

I'm going to test this now.

It works just fine if you install in correctly. The most common mistake is only wiping and not formating the data partition. You have to actually format it to remove in encryption.

Trying to flash AQ

I'm a little unclear on how to test the new AQ release. I tried doing an incremental upgrade with TWRP. This seemed to go OK, but now the tablet has been stuck on the Google "G" with a progress animation. Will this eventually finish or do I need to do a forced shutdown and flash the OEM BTFN? If so, will I have to go through the entire unlock etc. like if I was installing this ROM for the first time?

Thx
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Magendanz:
Sorry, the bump to Android 10 for T510XXU3BTFN is not considered an incremental release. You must do a full Odin install (BL, AP & CSC) of the OEM release of T510XXU3BTFN first, then you can install this custom ROM. Dirty flashing isn't going to work.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] fatherrabbi:

flash from BTFN stock.

I have the stock BTFN installed on my T510 with the bootloader unlocked and OEM enabled. When I tried to flash the latest Nexus BTFN md5 file via Odin, it fails about the time it hits the "Product" section. Do I have to downgrade to 9 to flash it?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] 0KimT1:

Edit: spelling
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] memz180:
I just worked out the way to install the latest without losing any data etc. Firstly download the latest firmware from samfirm in my case it was the XSA region (Australia). Flash with all relevant files in download mode and ODIN, the important part to note is to flash with the HOME CSC file.

Once this is complete dont wipe any data, the tablet will not load as its trying to load from previous version of nexus rom, it will eventually go back into the original recovery not TWRP at this point just get back to download/bootloader mode. Go back to ODIN and flash the latest nexus removing the .md5 as mentioned above. Download the firmware on the first page and the tablet will load straight back into the updated software with no data loss.

Hope the above helps anyone trying to update and not lose any data.

can anyone tell how much available ram the 2gb version of this tablet has after installing gapps (with lineageos or Nexus from the same developer)?

Update via Odin not working

I have been running the Nexus ROM since February and had it rooted and TWRP installed and everything working perfectly to my satisfaction. Now I have jumped into the latest firmware update and am having some issues.

I have installed the latest firmware update (BTFN) and have gotten the tablet to boot up and run the stock ver. but did not use HOME_CSC ... but the other CSC... in Odin. Now when I try to redo the update to correct this (either all modules or just the HOME_CSC.., I get a FAIL due to "Can't open specified file. (Line 1892)". The Log shows : Initialization, Set PIT file, Don't Turn Off Target and then "Can't open specified file. (Line 1892)", All threads Completed . (success 0 / failed 1). The SM-T510 is in download mode and is connected to the PC and shows up as Added!! in the Odin Log.

If I try to update just the ROM with Odin, AP for the renamed "Nexus_Stock_AQ_T510XXU3BTFN-20200807.tar" I also get the same results as above. I have downloaded the file a second time just to make sure it was not a corruption issue. I no longer have TWRP but the stock recovery running. Do I need to factory reset through stock recovery and start over or not?

Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Roarmaster:
I don't know if this will solve your problem, but did you enable USB debugging again? Also if you don't see OEM unlocked in dev settings, then check for a software update and go back to dev settings. It should say that the bootloader is already unlocked. Now you can try flashing nexus. And for what it's worth, I didn't use the Home_csc file (used the normal csc file), but I'm not sure what the difference is between them.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] zzjea:
Thanks. I do have " USB debugging ON". OEM unlocking is grayed out "bootloader already unlocked".

I have done a firmware upgrade before and all went smoothly, April I think.

What would happen if I tried to install this ROM via the stock recovery where it gives you the option to install from the sdcard? I have copied the zip file over there from the PC.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Roarmaster:
I don't think you should use the stock recovery. In the installation instructions, the OP recommends that you install through Odin when coming from stock.

Also, the people on this forum seemed to have solved your problem by switching odin versions. Try the odin version provided on the twrp rooting guide. Also, make sure you don't change anything in the odin settings.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] lewmur:
I know it sounds wierd, but what worked for me was use Odin to flash the BTFN stock ROM , BL, AP and CSC, downloaded via Frija. Then flash the Nexus BTFN tar file via Odin AP just to get the BTFN TWRP to boot. Then use TWRP to format the data partition and then flash the Nexus stock again with the TWRP file.:fingers-crossed:
