Thank you to the developer for making this ROM. Overall, it's greatly improved my SM-T560's performance.

I'm only having one issue, which is with the removable SD card. I have a 128 GB SanDisk card, and every time I reboot, it says "SanDisk SD card missing. Insert device again."

If I go to settings and check under "Storage", I see two entries for the SanDisk SD card. One says "Corrupted", and the other says, "Not Inserted." If I select the either one, I get an option to "Forget" it, and then the remaining entry will switch to say "Unsupported". From here, I can reformat the disk, and my tablet works fine.

But, if I reboot, I have to go through the whole thing again. I lose any data stored on the card every time as I'm forced to reformat it.

Everything else about this ROM works great, so I'm hoping there's a way I can get my SD card to be recognized on boot and work smoothly.

Is there anything I can do?

Bug

Hi

Is it possible to install updates without having to format all the data

and

i have a bug when i use the freeform mode :

-when i try to move the window it close it

-when i try to resize it reboot the tablet

pls help i usually use the freeform mode
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] ro-mann:
I've installed the ROM and now Netflix doesn't work anymore. It gives the error code 500.-116. Does anyone know how to fix this?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] rlvddoes@gmail.com:
Has this bug been confirmed by others/been squashed?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] K9100ii:
Of course it is possible to install updates without formatting data, some people just decide to format data when installing updates for whatever reason. You just install updates on top of your existing installation. I can reproduce those bugs with freeform. It doesn't seem to work on other installations I have of 17.1, either.

I've installed the Netflix app and I have this exact same error:

Device failure occured. Please try again (500.-116).

There appears to be DRM-related SELinux denials. When I set SELinux to permissive, I can get to the login screen, but I can't test any further as I don't have an account. For now, could you test it with SELinux set to permissive? To set SELinux to permissive temporarily, run:

setenforce 0

I've tried reproducing it on a recent build. I didn't encounter those issues while testing, however, my test micro SD card was an unused 2GB card. Take this as whatever you like.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] forceu:
Yes, I have the same problem
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] rlvddoes@gmail.com:
I flashed your image and found no serious issues. Memory card (128GB with data) is also fine.

Thanks very much for this, and please keep up the good work!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] martin_tokyo:
I have the same Netflix problem. I get slightly different error codes when I try to open it, but in any case it doesn't get past the opening screen with the Logo.

Also, the SD card problem still exists even after installing the newest ROM version. To be clear, the SD card will work if you format it, and keep the device on. But, if you reboot it, then the SD card needs to be reformatted in order to be used.

Last very small issue I've noticed, when pressing the Recent Tasks button, there is no option to "close all".
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] K9100ii:
Since no one appears to have tried my suggestion of setting SELinux to permissive for now, I'm going to do it slightly differently. I've attached a zip archive named "sepolicy_and_precompiled_sepolicy.zip", containing 2 files: 'sepolicy' and 'precompiled_sepolicy'. This is a new sepolicy containing new rules to address some SELinux denials that I've found myself when opening Netflix where the errors are shown. Extract the zip archive and copy the 'sepolicy' file to /system/ and the 'precompiled_sepolicy' file to /system/system/vendor/etc/selinux/ in recovery with system mounted. Note that I haven't tested logging in as I don't have a Netflix account, I've only confirmed that it now gets past the error messages. I also suggest you clear Netflix's data. This likely also works for other services/apps which rely on DRM.

The commit in which the new rules and actions for existing DRM-related rules were added is here: https://github.com/TALUAtGitHub/and...mmit/19005a99397ae1c493ce584b1f67c41c381b4c48.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] forceu:
Sorry, I did not see your note. I run

setenforce 0

and Netflix works now. Thanks again!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Jamess27:
This method works for me too, I had the same problem, thank you!

Is it normal that maximum playback resolution is SD?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] K9100ii:
Do note that setting SELinux to permissive is not something I recommend unless it's for testing purposes as it worsens security. I suggest testing out the new sepolicy.

The maximum playback resolution being SD is indeed normal as the widevine CDM security level is L3. We're never going to get anything better than that.

I am stuck in a constant bootloop. I have reflashed, re-wiped (factory in TWRP), with or without Gapps. Result is constantly the same: bootloop.

Tips or tricks ?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] JeyC79:
I only have bootloop when it's plugged on USB (on my Pc for example) and ask for a reboot or a boot.

TALUAtXDA, thanks a lot, the touchscreen is working now with your ROM !
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] martin_tokyo:
I followed these instructions. If these are the only steps, then I've done everything suggested.

Unfortunately, Netflix still won't load. I get various errors, such as "The application needs to be restarted. Please launch it again." But regardless of the error text, Netflix will not open. Restarting it does not help.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] RedNas74:
For me Netflix is running fine after the fix. Don't know why it doesn't work for you.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] martin_tokyo:
Regarding SD card problems.

The SD card does not cause any errors at first. However, it seems it is not possible to store data on it or migrate apps to it.

So, if I go to Settings->Storage, I can set the SD card to be used as Tablet storage:

Then, it will work fine. Until next reboot. If the device is rebooted, I get this message on the lock screen:

And this message in the pull down notifications:

Investigating in Settings->Storage, I see this:

If I press on the one that says "Not Inserted", I'm given the option to "Forget" it.

Then, returning to the previous screen, only one SD card option remains, and it has changed from "corrupted" to "unsupported":

If i press on it, I get this message:

I'm given the option to format it:

Then it formats:

And then I can move content to it:

At this point, I can use the SD card. But, if I reboot, I have to do all of the above again.

I hope this information helps identify the problem.

Also, I had to use photos instead of screenshots, because while the SD doesn't work, I get this message when trying to take a screenshot:
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] sandervanzijl:
bit boring but.... same for me

Other things that are the same:

Can not start netflix. I copied the files to system but same message

and wifi seems to disable after every reboot. (not sure if anyone has this, because there is also an auto reconnect option)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] martin_tokyo:
Sorry to say, but there might be another issue.

Since installing the very latest version, the bottom left corner of my tablet has been running hot. High battery usage or something?

Will monitor, but thought I'd mention it in case if it's a known issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] rlvddoes@gmail.com:
Strange to see those memory card issues; I encountered none at all (and rebooted several times).
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] rosco_pc:
i hade a SD used as Portable storage in RR-TEN that would restart all other ROMs i tried. I finally caved in and reformatted, after backup ( which was painful as it was an almost full 200GB card).

after that it worked without issues.

---------- Post added at 03:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:02 PM ----------

Same here, I can see that the precompiled sepolicy file gets overwritten after reboot. can this be related to file permission?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] K9100ii:
I'm going to guess that you both missed out this small part of the instructions:

in recovery with system mounted.

There is good reason for me having stated that.

When you're booted into Android, the system partition is mounted as root ('/'). When you're booted into recovery, the system partition is mounted at the mountpoint /system. The directory /system when system is mounted as root is actually a directory named system in the filesystem in the system partition. In recovery, when the system partition is mounted at /system, that same system directory you find as /system in Android (when system is mounted as root) is then located at /system/system.

By copying the sepolicy to /system in Android when system is mounted as root, you've actually copied it to the system directory in the root of the filesystem in the system partition (which is /system/system given that the mountpoint for the system partition is /system), which is incorrect. In Android, since system is mounted as root, you'd actually have needed to copy the sepolicy file to /. However, I suggested doing everything in recovery and I provided instructions for how to do it in recovery as you may encounter issues copying the files in Android. What you actually had to do was replace the sepolicy file in the root of the filesystem in the system partition, and if you copied it in /system while booted into Android, that's entirely wrong as explained just before this.

Also, once that's done, I suggest clearing Netflix's data, and don't complain about SD quality being the only option as the reason for that has already been explained.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] martin_tokyo:
I think I did follow your instructions. First, I uninstalled Netflix completely. Then, I booted into TWRP, and mounted System:

Then I copied "sepolicy" into /system/system:

And I copied "precompiled_sepolicy" into /system/system/vendor/etc/selinux:

Then I rebooted and installed Netflix:

But when trying to run the program, I get errors like this, regardless of how many times I restart it, reboot the device, clear Netflix data, or anything.

If I've screwed up the instructions somewhere, please let me know.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] rosco_pc:

(PS different dates as I re-copied the precompiled_sepolicy file just to make sure)

reboot

Remove storage for netflix and still error 500.-1019

Tried also clear storage, uninstall, re-install same error
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] martin_tokyo:
Regarding SD Card problems, I've narrowed it down a little.

After first installing the ROM, and formatting the SD card, it might appear that there are no problems. You can reboot and not see any errors.

However, if you go into an app such as Pocketcasts, and try to store podcasts in the SD card, the SD card is not an option. The only options I see in Pocket Casts are to save files on "Phone" and in "Custom Folder". The SD Card is not an option, which, according the Pocket Cast's online help, it should be.

The Custom Directory appears to just be a subfolder in the phone's main memory, at /data/user/0/au.com.shiftyjelly.pocketcasts/files:

It seems that the SD card is unavailable as a storage option.

So, if I then go into Settings->Storage and select the SD card, in the upper left hand menu (three dots) I have the option to "Migrate Data"

However, when I go back in Pocket Casts, the options the same, except "Phone" now shows as having 126 GB free, which seems a little odd.

If I reboot any time after "migrating" data, I get this error:

And I'm back to the SD card needing to be reformatted again.

So, just to summarize:

1. If the SD card is formatted, there are no errors, but the SD card is not really being used, and not an option in most programs.

2. If "Migrate Data" is used, then the storage on the SD seems to be available, but will then be rejected by the system at next reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] RedNas74:
Did you try with the setenforce 0 command. Does it work then? I did that first, then copied the files in twrp and for me netflix works fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] rosco_pc:
Did you set setenforce back to 1 ?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] RedNas74:
AFAIK selinux policy resets after a reboot. I just tried with setenforce 1 and Netflix still works.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] rosco_pc:
I'll try, thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] martin_tokyo:
Further on SD card problems,

I swapped out a different SD card, a 16GB card, and same problems emerged. So, the issue is not the particular SD card I'm using, it seems to be something with how this OS is formatting and/or storing data on SD cards.

Is there any chance this might be addressed? I'm thinking for stability, it might be better to abandon this ROM and maybe go with an Android 9 that's been around longer, maybe more stable.

i have copied your script sepolicy and precomplied_sepolicy via adb but don't work for me
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] K9100ii:
Hi,

This was discussed a few posts back. The solution for now until the next release where these issues won't exist anymore is after copying/pushing the sepolicy and precompiled_sepolicy files as I've described and booting into Android, set SELinux to permissive (run setenforce 0 in a root shell), clear Netflix's data just to be sure, open Netflix where you will get to the login screen and finally set SELinux to enforcing again (run setenforce 1 in a root shell).

The SELinux denials causing these further issues were addressed in this commit: https://github.com/TALUAtGitHub/and...mmit/aa2c82e9b2e57e88681bba85d0837e4100a73591

Reboots after shutting down while being charged

Everything on this ROM appears to be working correctly except one thing.... No matter what cable is connected to the charger, when the tablet (sm-t580) is turned off, it shuts down, a lightning bolt in a small circle appears for a few seconds, then a battery in a rectangle with a question mark appears and then the tablet restarts as if the on/off button had been pressed. In other words, the tablet can't actually be powered off while it's being charged. Any ideas? Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] K9100ii:
Hi,

Offline charging is broken in the current release. It will work in the next release. For now, I suggest trying to boot into recovery and then try to charge it while in recovery (I have no idea if this will work in your case. Hopefully, nothing is wrong with your battery as suggested by the battery icon with a question mark that you describe.).

Having the same issue with video call. My video and camera will not work properly after some time. Mic is working fine, but screen is going black on Samsung Tab and the other device.

Using RR TEN, but guess its the same problem as LOS17.1.

You tried Bliss 12,7?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] realwuffi:
Wow... whole new world :)

Hey,

I'm using this LOS 17.1 image from this thread. The whole thing does not seem really stable or at least

sometimes the browser lags and does not respond to the screen. After 10-15 seconds or so it starts again.

Also some other apps don't work as fast as they did before on the original firmware. At the moment I'm a bit unhappy with the whole situation.

Haven't heard about Bliss so far. Checked their website and the history of changes for my table. Looks quite impressive.

At the moment there are many changes each day, I'm not sure if it is a really good idea to try it.

Anyone some more experience with Bliss? Maybe I will give it a go tonight.... :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] K9100ii:
Hi,

Please could you give more details on these issues? Do you have anything installed that uses lots of resources, especially in the background? Do you have any modifications? If you are using google apps, what google apps package are you using? As for this not running some things as good as the original firmware, that's entirely expected for obvious reasons (for example, Android 10 needs more resources to run over previous Android releases such as Android 8).

Note that some of the changes listed there are my changes, as most of my changes are used in Bliss, too. Read the thread for bliss for any issues and decide if you'd like to try/use it. From what I see getting posted in that thread, Bliss appears to have more features in exchange for some reduced stability and so it has more slightly annoying issues.

As for your issues with jitsi, I can't test as I don't use it. You'd have to take logs so I can at least try to look for what might be causing those issues. Also, I doubt bliss will not have those same issues, as the device trees, kernel and other device-specific stuff used for bliss are all similar to what is used here.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] harvester1:
Re Bliss release,

Exactly. Bliss does have more features, but a quite annoying screen rotation problem where the tablet just will sporadically not go into landscape mode without third-party software help. A program like Kodi just looks really bad in Portrait mode. On the other hand, this build by TALUAtXDA covers all the essentials very well. I'm hoping the developer will soon release the next version with the offline charging issue fixed. At that point, this becomes the best working version of Android 10 that's out there, at least on this tablet anyway.
