[Samsung Galaxy A40 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Charlie Cooper:
All seems to work except an odd issue with the phone app. The UI doesn't appear if someone rings me or if I make a phone call (incomming calls do ring but I can't see the UI to answer for example!).

I fixed this by going into the settings for the "phone app->advanced->Select as default phone app"
[Samsung Galaxy A40 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] kevios12:
Great thats work.

Finally a guy, know what he do! :)
[Samsung Galaxy A40 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Charlie Cooper:
Using a bit more here's the issue's I have:

- Enabling 'Double tap power button to turn on touch' it buggy. The torch switches on for 2 seconds and then the feature won't work until you next swtich the screen on and off again.

- Search bar on the homescreen(lawnmower app) doesn't work when you click on it. I can't remove it either. I suspect this is because I installed the 'CORE' version of NikGapps.

I'll keep you updated on how this ROM goes! I'm sticking with it for now as it's WAY faster, nicer looker, easier to use, than stock Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy A40 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] kevios12:
DT2W is known issue of the Kernel from Eureka. We can use actualy this rom only in Permissive.

the Others sounds like GAPPS issue
[Samsung Galaxy A40 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Charlie Cooper:
GPS is working very well! I just needed to go outside to get a good signal.

New issue/bug:

The phone screen doesn't turn off when I make a phone call or put the phone close to my face during a call (I have to push the power button to disable the screen for phone calls). This likely happens because the A40 doesn't have a proximity sensor and uses the front camera instead?

I had this when using LinageOS on the older 2017 edition of the A40 but it was eventually fixed in a dev update to the fork of LinageOS built for that version so this is a familiar issue!
[Samsung Galaxy A40 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] kevios12:
We use the Camera Sensor right, i think could be a source issue only. I think in next version (monthly will fix)
[Samsung Galaxy A40 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Charlie Cooper:
Using this ROM still! Here's my update:

Pros:

- WOW. It's fast. Like really fast and snappy.

- Very clean and fluid feel.

- Looks great.

Cons:

- Screen stays on unless you push the power button in a call.

- The camera app (including other camera apps) doesn'st detect the 3rd wide-angle camera.

- The camera app (including other camera apps) can't focus when using the rear camera.

Overall:

Still better than stock Samsung if you really hate bloat!

I tried the new recent version after having tried the original version of this OS. It's a lot better - takes up around 1.6GB of RAM (with NikGApps Core) and boots fast. Issue thtat keeps me from using it as my daily driver is the in-call phone issue - when you're in a call, you can still accidently slide the notifcation bar down using your ear and actvate features on the screen even through the screen is off.

Hello Thank u for the Report but i have test what u faced, so on my phone everything is normal. Greets.
[Samsung Galaxy A40 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Charlie Cooper:
What firmware version are you on? I can try using the same version if u had a link and I can report back. To replicate the problem:

-Call anyone (or just the answer phone).

- while your head is by the earpiece and so the screen is switched off, use your finger to swipe from the top of the phone to the bottom.

- take your face away and the screen will light up again but will show the notification area as that part of the screen was still active.

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nixnixnixnix4:
I have a factory-unlocked S21 Ultra (in the US).

This is what I have Disabled / Uninstalled -- without adb:

- Netflix (Disabled)

- Netflix Partner Activation (Disabled)

- Facebook (Uninstalled directly, Samsung allows you to do so)

- Facebook App Manager (Disabled)

- Facebook App Installer (Disabled)

- Facebook Services (Disabled)

Here's how you do it: Settings > Battery & Device Care > Storage > ⋮ > Advanced > Other apps > ⋮ > Show system apps

- Now, as an example: search for Facebook.

- Select, for example, "Facebook Services".

- Clear cache and Clear data.

- Select the icon for "Facebook Services".

- Now, select Disable.

I would have liked to uninstall Bixby, Weather (because ads show up, but, I just use weawow instead), and Samsung Messages. But, I settled for disabling background data access and other things. I've cleared their data out as well. They don't seem to be in RAM.

Plus, I have Customization Service turned off and I have all my privacy settings set to a maximum.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] jayyusz:
Looking for it too. Want to uninstall samsung health etc and samsung browser
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nixnixnixnix4:
Search for "private dns" via Finder and then put in: dns.adguard.com

That'll block a ton of ads.

Also, Samsung Health is uninstallable for me. I use it with my FIt2 though.

Samsung browser is OK. I use it occasionally. Its Dark Mode is enviable. Just adjust the settings and install ABP or AdGuard on it.

Firefox is my main browser though because it supports uBlock, Dark Reader, etc.

@adazem009 @Hausemaster Fantastic job! I've loaded it on my 8504F.

Only issue I can find was on initial start, I declined the face unlock, and that prevented my going any further. I rebooted, and reflashed, but it kept saying I needed app permissions...

So I flashed LineageOS 17.1 (which has never worked for me - caused a boot loop), then re-flashed Resurrection and this time accepted face unlock.

And now, it feels like I have a brand new tablet!

Thanks guys!.

I tried to install this but ended up in a bootloop stuck on the RR logo (for over an hour). I tried going back to stock using the Lenovo rescue tool, which mostly works, but the tablet no longer has any Wifi. Any suggestions? I'm hoping reflashing the boot.img would help but I can't find a copy of that file anywhere -- if anyone can provide that I'd really appreciate it... thanks
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] Hausemaster:
Are you on the latest stock firmware? Also, did you wipe data,cache,Dalvik/ART cache after installing the ROM?
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] Hausemaster:
Which firmware are you on? (Post the version number) I'm on the latest 0031 based stock firmware and the calls (outgoing) don't work on LOS 17.1 based roms, also, I'm pretty sure that the dev removed a file that's responsible for outgoing , so, I'm not really sure how outgoing works for you, so, please provide the firmware version so that I can install it and test it myself and also to see if the outgoing calls work...
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] adazem009:
Make sure you're on the Oreo firmware. LineageOS 16.0, 17.1 and all ROMs based on them boot only on the Oreo firmware. I once tried it with the Nougat firmware, which ended up in a bootloop.

- tried RR + pico GApps, and things started to work properly.

- tried Lineage 17.1 + pico GApps, and had boot loop again.

- have stayed with RR + pico now.

I have not felt the need to go back to stock...

I will say one thing though, I think my bootloop issues were caused by rooting with Magisk. I got the tablet working again, and as soon as I fashed a Magisked boot img, it went into another bootloop. Had to reflash again from scratch and once again that fixed the problem. So this may be a one-off but rooting this tablet appears to be too risky for me right now
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] Hausemaster:
Just use the magisk zip file, root works just fine, I'm not sure why your device doesn't boot, but, just download the Canary version of magisk and flash the . Zip in recovery
