[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] TibReg:
Here my review with a GTN5100 and the latest ROM from today:

Very smooth experience bringing fresh and new life to my trusted device

WIFI working out of the box

Pairing of a bluetooth headset worked. Tests needed on microphone and sound quality. This was always an issue with other ROMs for the device

LTE not recognized. when starting any app related to mobile data or phone I get a crash of com.android.phone. SW gets unresponsive and needs to be closed. Some restarts did not do the trick. Mobile data was working on other ROMs before.

SPencommand did not start. SW was compatible up to Oreo based on the website. Still digitizer i able to work with the pen as a pointing device.

I can only applaud the developer 👏. This is fantastic and with /e/ being the basis I do not need to do all the MicroG and other steps in setup myself.

Please let me know, where I can help for the 5100
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] prkfsz:
if you have N5100 then you can't have LTE, it's only 3G.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] mikey williams:
Thanks and to prkfsz for advice.

I managed to transfer files from the sdcard onto a USB stick. Then I mounted the USB stick as OTG in TWRP and was able to flash a different TWRP and regained access to my sdcard and my backups.

Phew.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] TibReg:
Thanks - still "com.android.phone" crashes ☺
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] html6405:
You could try to set the device to 3G in the connection settings, maybe the wrong lte setting causes this crash in your case.

Is your baseband known and does the IMEI show up when you dial *#06#?

WIth my N5100 I'm not facing this crash.

I guess your sdcard is fat formatted, the recent version of TWRP doesn't support this because I needed space in the Kernel, otherwise it wasn't possible to bring this up.

I'm working on support this again.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] TibReg:
I did some more tests:

Download of the original ROM not from sammobile as before but from samfrew

Installation of ROM, test of connectivity, all working

Complete wipe and format of data, new installation of/e/ ROM

No service. Also *#06# does show an empty IMEI

Test with another modem version which was originally provided from rgib from here

Same results, no service.

Where do I need to take a look? Modem or other partitions?

Attached a logcat while I was dialing to look up the IMEI. Let my now if you need another logcat with a different time range.

Thanks for your help
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] TibReg:
Here the log file
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] html6405:
Thx to your log I've found some missing selinux denials,

I will bring a new update for this, hope that this will fix your issue.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] mikey williams:
Most things are working perfectly. There is a problem however with the pointer when using an spen. The pointer is off by a few mm. On my previous Lineage rom there was an option to turn the pointer off. I cannot find it or any way of adjusting the offset. But a minor problem on an excellent Rom, for which many thanks.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] html6405:
There is no way to do that.

Yes, there is a calculation problem for this display, on my other devices it's ok.

On my Lineage 16.0 there's also this option (I've further ported this to LOS16.0),

I could do the same thing for /e/.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] mikey williams:
That would be useful. It is your Lineage 16 I was using previously.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] html6405:
You could also test my modem:

modem.bin | by html6405 for Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet)

Download GApps, Roms, Kernels, Themes, Firmware, and more. Free file hosting for all Android developers.

androidfilehost.com
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] TibReg:
Just to be on the safe side - remove the existing modem.bin from my flashable tar.md5 file and replace it with your modem.bin and flash via odin or is there a smarter way?

Sorry for asking.

Did in the meantime some more testing:

Integration with my self hosted nextcloud works out of the box. This is really for me the next level of getting away from all the "for free" solutions which just want to get my data

Bluetooth headset loudspeaker works well. I can not get the microphone to work with the headset. This may be the case because calling is not working at all so far.

Very happy overall with the experience and I would love to see the device getting official on /e/
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] html6405:
I would recommend to copy the modem.bin into your internal memory and then with:

(N5100 only)

adb shell

su

dd if=/sdcard/modem.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7

reboot

I will push out an OTA update with the new selinux rules, it could be, that this will fix your problem.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] html6405:
Yes this could be, I'm still working on this, I weren't able to find out whats wrong there till now.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] html6405:
Update 10.04.2021:

Fixed selinux denials from last log (rw permissions for nv_data.bin, Baseband related)

Included Button to enable / disable stylus icon hovering

Fixed a bug in framework, the mouse icon wouldn't appear when stylus icon hovering is enabled without.

Enabled OTA from my server for future updates.

Does anyone know anyone who wants to sell his GT-N5120?

Thanks

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] prkfsz:
tried with the syslog app, but got stuck with magisk. It's been very long since i used it and it works differently now. And i can't make it work, it's a brand new version from yesterday, perhaps some bug?

Anyway, just so you don't think i ignored your request.

I will keep on trying to make it work.

And just one little thing, regarding BT:

On 5110 it works, but the connection is terrible with lots of glitches, even with the powerfull units.

On 5120 i can't make a connection at all with the same unit.

I think more people here mentioned the similar problems.

Interestingly - BT connection from N8000 running your version of /e/ is rock solid with the same unit i can't reach with 5120. I am thinking that size shouldn't matter, since it's the same chip?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] luckysoul777:
Thank you so much! I check eBay every day, but this listing never popped up. Just now I realize he only ships to Europe and thus eBay filters it out since I am in the U.S. Regardless, I'm going to ping the seller. Anything is possible at the right price!
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] TibReg:
Just some quick checks:

OTA is working

Encryption is working as described for the Lineage OS 16.0 ROM. Resizing of data needed.

OTA also works with encrypted device for me
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] mikey williams:
I'm running this rom with the latest update on my 5110.

So far my only problems are:

1. The system updater. "The update check failed. Please check your Internet connection"

The Internet connection is fine. I can't see any other option for OTA update.

2. Trying to share files (for example pictures from the gallery) fails with Onedrive, Gdrive etc. In the Solid Explorer file browser it can transfer files from onedrive to the tablet but fails to copy from the tablet to onedrive. Wierd

I'm sorry I don't think I'm savvy enough to send logs. Talk of adb and syslogs are a bit beyond me. I'm pretty ancient is my feeble excuse.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] html6405:
This is normal, because there is no OTA update on my server for this device yet.

Hmm ok, I've never tried Onedrive or Gdrive, I don't use both.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] html6405:
Hmm actually you just have to flash the magisk.apk (yes, the apk) in TWRP and it should work,

if the manager didn't get installed automatically, then just install the magisk.apk and you should have root rights.

Hmm there shouldnt be any difference, it's the same chipset and also completely equally configured.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] html6405:
Update 13.04.2021:

Fixed video decoding problem with recent Netflix versions.

Only via OTA.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] prkfsz:
Flashed new updates of /e/ on my devices and it's a mixed bag..

N5110 - looks OK, pretty much as before. Haven't had so much time and don't use it for all that much functions so I probably haven't tested those you changed. BT seems a bit more steady, but still not as steady as N8000. On the other hand the WiFi seems a bit shaky at moments.

Tried to run OTA but it's going awfully slow and stopping frequently so it's going to take days before it's downloaded. But i am guessing your server perhaps is down or something.

Update: managed at last anyway to download the /e/16.0 or what you call it. Tried to install, the device went to TWRP, got message that the file block.map was empty, but it ran something anyway. After boot nothing, still same old version, 'install failed' in notifications. Tried once more, same result. Realized that the explorer couldn't access internal storage. Went to TWRP, 'format data'. Restart, first check if explorer can access the storage and it can this time. But in settings it says 'no permissions requested', and it's greyed out, unclickable. Tried to download and install update anyway. Same result, same message in TWRP, and failed update ultimately.

N5120 - wifi worked ok on the first /e/ version from the end of march. After installing the most recent, 210410, it's barely working, and disconnecting all the time. BT is still not working, managed to pair it with 0 av 3 devices. I get the message that it can't communicate with those units even if it sees them.

Tried to get logs to finally make you happy. :cool: Got working root and installed syslog, but not from /e/ store, that one crashes so i got Aurora. Syslog is the example of why i hate doing these things and messing with apps that go deeper in the system. App is apparently made by someone that obviosly thinks he is writing it for engineers. Hate those kind of apps. It so NOT intuitive.. I have no idea how to get a log and move it to somewhere on the device. I get alternatives to BT, encode or decode, that's it. Tried to make a screendump but the damn thing says there is no space on the tablet. Which of course, there is. I checked and the recorder has the storage permission. But now checked in the settings for Syslog and it says 'no permissions requested', and besides it's greyed out and not clickable.

Between the old /e/ and this one, i flashed a TWRP backup of stock rom (kitkat?), tried BT and it was working with no problem.

Just so you get an update on how things are working, at least for me.

But again, i thank you for all your hard work! (y)(y)
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] html6405:
I didn't make any changes to Wifi and BT.

My server is just to weak, there are updates all the time (8 devices and several ROMs with OTA support), I havent seen my server not blinking since months.

Especially when I push a update it's better to wait one or two day's, otherwise the download will take a long time.

Hmm really strange that you're facing these storage permission problems, I would need a log, maybe it's Selinux related.

Do you still have root rights?

I've created a video for you which shows how to disable selinux and create a log for me, you just have to send me the zip file and maybe I can find a problem.

Hmm I'm sorry for that, today I will test my BT headset again, but actually it was working and also here, I didn't change anything Wifi / BT related.

Maybe it's really a missing selinux rule, try to reproduce my steps, then I will find them.

New life to my old device - Donation made
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] html6405:
Thx 😍
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] TibReg:
any progress of making it official? Will you be able to provide an updated version OTA with the May patches? Thanks in advance
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] html6405:
I'm in contact with the /e/ developers and try to bring my changes in the framework etc to their sources,

otherwise we would have no chance.

Yes but at the moment there's really less time, I have to focuss on other projects, but there will be updates...
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] DeaTl:
Am using it and now its about a month. I just love the experience
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] karolvs3:
hi, i installed the rom on my n5110 but no app has access to the internal memory, nor the file explorer, i have re-installed it several times but the problem remains
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] prkfsz:
Go to settings/apps/permissions, and there first uncheck storage permission, and then reckeck it. Usually works. Try with explorer first, maybe it 'opens the storage up' for all the other apps too.

Look through this thread, people wrote about such problems and solutions before.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] Giowi:
I did a full wipe. Then I installed this fantastic rom. I did a reboot.

Then with twrp I flash latest gapps but now the tablet is stucked at boot when you read "checking for updates."

Wifi works.

I have a N5120 model.

Can anyone help me? Thanks
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] html6405:
Hmm you could try to use a different wifi hotspot or try to skip the google part.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] Giowi:
I tried a different wifi but nothing to do.

I tried a wipe data and cache

I cannot skip the google part
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] html6405:
Did you install the pico package?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] Giowi:
Yes. I think it's the rom. I installed LineageOs 16 rom and I have no problem. I have skip choice too.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] html6405:
Hmm strange, /e/ bases on LOS 16...
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] prkfsz:
Has anyone made Netguard or Tracker control app work with /e/?

Or LOS16, for that matter?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] TibReg:
I did some test with calling on my 5100:

All good with the microphone of the tablet itself

No microphone using a cable headset

No microphone with a bluetooth headset

Anybody experiencing the same?

The bluetooth headset and cable headset are fine for listening to music
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] sparks2012:
Hi there

I've installed your Lineage OS 16 on my gt-n5100

It runs well

But i can install gapps alway got error code 70 that said not enough space on partition

I installed the smallest gapps package (Pico)

Can you suggest what should I do with this problem?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] html6405:
You're here in the /e/ thread and this ROM shouldn't be used with GAPPS.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] sparks2012:
Oh i see

Can you tell me which thread I should go to get your work for my gt-n5100?

Thanks

Will we see an update also for this rom similar to the lineage OS version with 16.0? That would be really great.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] html6405:
Not yet, because I'm working on with the /e/ team to make these devices official, this is a slow process.

Question to palm rejection: I am fine with the general use of SPen on any lineage based devices. With this ROM I like, that I can switch on the pointer. What about palm rejection? The biggest issue for me is hitting accidentally the back or menu button. Any setting/ app/magisk plug-in to improve or even customize the behavior?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] html6405:
Hmm good question, the softkey's are ment to be enabled while using the pen.

I think they do not see any difference hardware related if you press it with your finger or the pen,

so I see no software way to create a palm rejection for them.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] andrevagante:
Does the s pen functions work?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] LR7875:
It should work.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] TibReg:
Yes, it works, with working meaning it works as a pointer and it can be used e.g to scribble notes in Nebo or for drawing.

in regards to palm rejection - hitting accidentally the „back“ button is annoying. Therefore I often use the Tablet in landscape mode when drawing or scribbling. Never mind, probably there are „ bigger fish’s to fry“

Hi

Your work is really great, thank you very much

I had to replace the battery after installing your ROM, and now when the battery percentage reaches 40, the device suddenly shuts down I calibrated it and it didn't answer Do you think I should reinstall the ROM ?!
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] html6405:
I think that your new battery is faulty.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] Stpiex:
Oops So is it not worth installing a newer version of the ROM? Do you have another suggestion?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] html6405:
If the device shuts down at 40% because of a bad battery, no.

I would return the battery and try a different one.

Hey, today I created XDA account JUST FOR THE SAKE OF WANTING TO SAY THANK YOU, TO YOU. I have been following XDA forums since 10 years ago but never had I created any account, but today, I am truly grateful and beyond happy!

Last 2 days, my GTN5100 suddenly stopped working, unable to start , charging not working, booting loop problem, I research countless of ways to restore and revive this 10 years old + device and to my surprise, after several of attempts and testing, I USED YOUR LINEAGE 18 AND ARM PICO ANDR 11 AND ITS WORKING SUPER SMOOTHLY! Previously I was using cyanogen 13, and its super lags despite its running, but using your firmware (of which fixing all the problems I had in CM 13) it felt like I'm having a new device! its comparatively so smooth and I want to thank you so much for giving us publicly to people like us!! I hope your days filled with happiness and I sincerely hope god to repay your kindness!! Thank you very much again, I just cant thank you enough!! thanks!!

Hi Guy`s

I have connected my Bluetooth speaker to the 5100 model device. The videos on youtube and chrome are working smoothly in audio playback. The sound does not come and goes on phone calls, there is no sound in other models of bluetooth headphones.

Also, the camera didn't work in the video call in Whatsapp.

is there any way to solve it?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] html6405:
This issue is not solved on the unofficial /e/ ROM,

but it is in the official version.

Hmm ok, I'm not sure about this, but theoretically it should work, maybe on the official version.

I'm sorry, we have to wait until they allow me to publish it.

Hi,

honestly, because of my really limited time and the big number of devices I support,

I also can't promise to bring a newer /e/ build up,

this could be done by someone else, I've brought already A11 and A12 for these devices up :).

Hello html6405,

I am setting up two of my old Note 8.0 for my kids and want to ensure that they are not being too looked upon by the big companies. I learned of /e/ through this thread and I want to thank you for all the involvement that you have put into it.

I will be trying /e/ on a n5110 and a n5120. I have in all 6 Note 8.0 devices for backup (no 3G) and I just love the devices.

I see on /e/fondation that you are still maintaining the Note 10 version. I am quite a quick learner and would like to try and help to transfer the effort you put on the Note 10 to the Note 8.0. I will, nevertheless require some help to be up and running.

Perhaps, even with time, I might be able to take completely over for the Note 8.0.

Please tell me if you can spare the time to get me up to speed or give me the relevant links to get up to speed the most unintrusively for you?

Thanks again for your great work.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] html6405:
/e/ has already all codes and repo's from me, there were already dev builds for the kona devices ( but not published )

To make it official, they wan't to have some remaining bugs fixed, otherwise they won't release it.

Here you can find the remaining issues:

Spoiler content hidden.

BTW, the GPS fix is already solved locally on my PC, the Kernel is also overworked.

The extraction script needs to get fixed, it's not hard to fix it, but it needs time.

If the last issues get fixed, it will be official and receive montly updates automatically.

I'm sorry but I really don't have the time, if I would have it, I would complete this also RN.

I don't know at which level you are, but you can start to learn how to build ROM's, try to fix the last bugs and then I could start the process to overgive this project, it would be ok for me.

You can check the LineageOS-Wiki or from the /e/ foundation, there are all specific steps to create a ROM.
