My Note 8 Tablet is working absolutely fine at Kitkat android. All old apps APKs I have in tablet work fine. Only problem is installation of latest apps.

I use the tablet for reading pdf books and it's working fine. Should I install some custom ROM or stay at Kitkat? Anybody plz suggest reasons to install custom ROM and also suggest latest, stable and bug-free ROM. Thanks
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] Nötzli:
Same here: I tried Lineage 18, then Lineage 16 and found the following issue with both: When making a video call in Whatsapp I can see the other person but my camera is not working. When I'm just making fotos or videos even from within Whatsapp everything is fine. There's no problem with video calls in Skype. But when making a video call with Whatsapp the camera won't turn on. All permissions are as they should. Is this a problem of the Lineage or can it be easily solved in an other way?

LOS 16.0 (Android 9.0): Stable

LOS 18.1 (Android 11): Beta

LOS 19.1 (Android 12L): Beta

LOS 20.0 (Android 13): Alpha

If there is no need for newer Android, stay at Kitkat. If you want or need newer apps go to newer Android.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] LR7875:
if you want a stable rom go with lineageos 16.0.

you should probably update as kitkat is ancient and has a very old security patch which is easily exploited. it is also made for 2013 apps, using some apps more modern than 2016 will probably slow it to a crawl or just glitch out and crash, if you can install those apps in the first place.

just to make it crystal clear, lineageos 16.0 is last updated april 2022 (1 yr ago).

if you have any credentials or something very important that you will use on the tablet, that you absolutely cannot allow being hacked, so you need the newest security patch, go with lineageos 19.1 though you need to tolerate random reboots (tldr if you prefer stablity go with 16.0, if you wish to have a newer build go with 19.1)
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] lenoid:
@LR7875

In general I agree with you. But in this case @AlphaBravo seem to use it only for reading (offline?) PDF books where I don't see any security issue as long as the PDF source is trusty.

Update 21.02.2021:

Uploaded new N5100 rom, fixed some bugs in the kernel.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] XdaFoxygen:
html6405, [N5100] The firmware started, the bug with the screen rotation disappeared.

Bugs: Remained, imei, the microphone is quiet,Windows 10 sees it as n5110 when connected to pc.

bug, the problem is in the brightness slider, you have to twist it by 50℅ Maybe this is not a bug, I just compare it with android 7 .

The battery does not hold, there is no hold as in RR 5.8.5.

Spoiler content hidden.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] html6405:
Thanks,

microphone should work now, RIL is hard to test for me because I don't own this device.

I've made a change where I think that a problem could have been.

I have no idea why the camera is pink in your case, if I test this rom on a n5110 it's working fine.

Please just update via OTA and test the mic and ril again.

If the baseband is still unknown, please provide me a modem log (just use the syslog app)

that I can try to debug it.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] html6405:
This could be if you had the n5110 rom installed before and Windows remebers your device.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] WolfAyron:
Okay, thank you. I hope so. :)

Your welcome! ;)

If I understand correctly what you said, then I also noticed this. If I use the brightness slider in the pull down notification panel, the 50% does not equal to the 50% that I set on the notification bar. Setting the brightness by sliding my finger on the notification bar to the half of the screen, it sets the Brightness in Settings or in notification panel to apprx. 86%.

I also noticed, that the battery runs out pretty fast. I charged the device to 100%, unplugged, went to sleep and in the morning the battery was at 87%!

Perhaps something does keep the CPU running in background?

I installed BetterBatteryStats, so hopefully I'll be able to provide some useful information.

And one more thing I also experience the 2-3 sec screen wake delay. It was also present in Lineage Android 7.1.2.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] html6405:
I can improve the auto brightness, just have to define a new array for this,

many things run different than in android 7.

The battery could suffer under a the randomly restarting ril deamon.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] SOLLERHOLLER/SOULBLADE:
Lol i just replaced my battery after 11 years just morning for my N5110 my battery was faulty. Put the new battery in and it has been perfect ever since 👍 I am Also using this custom Lineage OS 16.0 Android 9.0 Pie.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] XdaFoxygen:
html6405, [N5100] Hello, I think we still need to work on optimizing the battery, for example, look at the n5100 core on RR 5.8.5, the microphone is quiet and differs from the drain.

Unfortunately, there is no time to send a log.

Bugs: Does not see imei, GPS, Bug with Open Gaps arm / nano writes "error sending voice analysis" I think it will be necessary to change the battery, in rr5.8.5 it holds a charge. :unsure:
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] SOLLERHOLLER/SOULBLADE:
There is slight problem even with latest update today when you end apps they not actually ending but still in advance task killer. You will see every thing is still running even if you end them.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] html6405:
What do you you mean should I look? RR5.8.5 bases on LOS14.1 and is different.

Isnt it working with the last update?

WIth the recent version? Actually it will get hard to get this running without any logs or a n5100,

and the frequently starting ril deamon will consumer much more battery,

so we could disable it for the moment or one of you has to provide me with logs.

The best solutions would be some donations, then I will buy a n5100 for my own and could better work on it..
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] XdaFoxygen:
Worth the last update :)

And the microphone is quiet, maybe it's time for me to change it hmm ...

" Thank you for the firmware !"
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] html6405:
Thx, but the modem log is missing.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] html6405:
But there are many selinux problems, are you sure that you are using the most recent version?

I will recheck this.

You need root rights to pass the check.

Can you explain this more detailed? Are you using my TWRP?

Ril related check my new update, fixed many selinux problems, the deamon is running,

the next problem could be the shim, I've made everything that I can on my n5110.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] html6405:
Update 24.02.2021:

Fixed front camera and videorecording for it, had to make changes in Kernel and camera hal.

You have to set the front camera resolution to SD 480P!

Fixed GPS for N5110 and N5100, maybe RIL is also now fixed, I can't test it.

Fixed some Selinux issues.

Removed open camera because someone complained about it, included gCam.

Improved battery performance through some optimizations (for example wifi)

I can't believe that this 10 years old brick #N5100 is back in business and I don't know how you did it, the processor should be burning and the rams should be screaming but they are actually managing :poop: as and more than they actually should..

Thank you so much, I'm forever grateful :giggle:

Everything is alright so far.. Except this issue with social media videos.. Is there a fix in the thread I should read about?

Can you please tell me the steps you took for videos to work? Videos are not working with me on almost every website :(
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] Jambo_Forrest:
Eek, I can't remember - it was almost two years ago! I remember trying Magisk but can't remember if that was key or not - there were a lot of failed attempts!

It was videos playing in Amazon Prime Video, Disney+ and Google whatever they call it that I was interested in, as it was for my kid, so not tried social media.

I'll see if I can find out, but it'll take a while (like a couple of weeks!) till I'm at the competer again that I set it up on. Good luck in the meantime.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] egydreamer:
Turns out the solution of disabling avc decoder module by magisc was the reason of why videos don't work.. I think it was meant for older versions of this ROM.. But I still have social media videos distortion.. Thanks anyway ❤️

I love the rom, I've had it for a long time, the only problem I have is the battery life, it doesn't last at all, just half an hour, the battery is new, any advice?

I can't install acrobar pdf, when it opens it immediately closes, what pdf reader do you recommend?

With avc_decoder_disable installed, Amazon Video works great, but on Facebook I don't see the videos even if I disabled the module in Magisk, before installing it I saw them fine.

Magic is deactivated at the same time and I can't run it again without reinstalling it.

I hope your help

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] WolfAyron:
Regarding the battery, here you can find some screenshots of what BetterBatteryStats measured. I tested it several times. Charged the device and left it without network connection or any running apps in recent apps.

Though there are plenty of deep sleep state, there is significant Awake time while screen is off. And it also increases. For example I left the device untouched for 15 hours and then it showed 4 and a half hour Awake (screen off).

Another thing: With the updated livedisplay option, now if I set the Color Profile to 'Natural' it's not the same anymore, like it was before. The colors are still strong (like there were some vibrance added) and it's contrasted.

I immediately noticed this change as my tablet was set to Natural color profile. I always prefers this setting.

So somehow the update messed up this profile.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] html6405:
Hmm ok, very interesting, one of my devices last's with disabled wifi and bluetooth up to 14 day's,

with enabled wifi it holds about 2 day's.

Have you tested it with disabled wifi?

Ok I have to check this with the color profile, I've binderized the livedisplay hal,

maybe this is missing.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] WolfAyron:

These 2 are the most dominant wake locks and are draining our battery, I will upload for each device a Kernel and hope that you also can test it till tomorrow.

At first, flash the kernel via TWRP (boot.img)

Boot into system and do: adb shell dumpsys batterystats --reset

Test it till tomorrow

Create me a log with:

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] WolfAyron:
I realized that I still had platform tools installed so I opened a cmd window and tried to make a bugreport just to see if everything is working fine for tomorrow and the laptop can communicate with the tablet.

It did create the bugreport zip but showed me a warning. Then I wanted to look inside the zip so I turned on the Wifi on the tablet to upload the zip to my drive.

After some seconds the screen suddenly went black and then showed the "Downloading... Do not turn off target !!" message so it went to Download mode for some reason.

But now I cannot boot into the system. When I turn on the device, the Galaxy Note text appears for half a sec and immediately goes into Download mode. I don't know what to do, or why is this happened. Though I tried and I can still go into Recovery, but cannot boot into system.

Any ideas? :(

Everything can be seen on the attached photo.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] html6405:
Have you already flashed the kernel?

Maybe something went wrong there.

You could try to boot into recovery and reinstall the rom.

Could you tell me exactly what you did (step by step).

As long as your eMMC is ok, you should be able to boot into recovery and reflash the rom.

Everything is fine on my n5100. I'll send the report latter. Thx for your effort on my old n5100. Magisk by default is asystem app on this rom. There's a warning that it should be a user app. I changed it to user app with titanium backup. is that ok?
