Do you have a fix / solution for this? I am having the same problem :-(
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] MoNkToNk:
It is working now after 'factory reset' and 'format data' in TWRP and using NikGapps instead of OpenGapps).

Thank you @TALUAtXDA for maintaining up-to-date software for this hardware - very much appreciated!

A minor "issue" that I observe updating this device (SM-T580, using NikGapps-core-arm64-11-20210501-signed) from lineage-18.1-20210508-UNOFFICIAL-gtaxlwifi to lineage-18.1-20211023-UNOFFICIAL-gtaxlwifi: There seems to be a change in policy what kind of notifications can be "muted"/disabled. When installing/using Google Input for Pinyin ("Google-Eingabe für Pinyin"), I had seen before also with other devices that it asks for Google account permission incl. notification. As everything works flawless without, I never provided this permission and was able to disable the notification. Since the update, I receive the notification again and the setting (account status ("Kontostatus") in Android system ("Android-System")) is fixed on enabled (greyed out).

Anyone aware whether this is a general change in Android or is it specific to this build and could be changed? Or any other idea (excl. options that require root)?

Changelog:

Latest updates from Lineage, including the 20211105 Android security updates.

The WiFi driver has been switched from being a kernel module to being built into the kernel. This may improve reliability for enabling and disabling WiFi and the WiFi hotspot very slightly.

The libexynoscamera3.so library has been updated from Samsung's P580ZSS1CTI1 stock firmware - This improves the situation with the issues with stretched/squashed camera previews for images and stretching/squashing in videos at some resolutions.

The MFC (Multi-Format Codec) firmware has been updated from Samsung's A305FDDU6CUI3 firmware.

As the oldest proprietary blobs are now as in Samsung's P580ZSS1CTI1 stock firmware (with a few exceptions), the vendor security patch level has been increased to 2020-09-01, which is the security patch level that firmware has.

Configuration files for media codecs and profiles have been updated from Samsung's T580XXS5CTK1 stock firmware.

Most SELinux rules that are technically not allowed (by neverallow rules) have been replaced with much better rules or removed.

There are some (final) updates from the (unfortunately now deprecated so no longer updated) 3.18 Android common kernel, some updates from Linux 4.4, and a few updates from Samsung's J600FPUUACUH2 and A720SKSU5CUJ2 kernel sources to the kernel.

Enjoy.

Thanks! Camera issue finally solved.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] ASTEAKBAKE:
Absolutely brilliant ROM! Been trying a few out and this one works flawlessly in all departments where others have failed! Well done dev. I'll be sticking with your builds from now on. This has brought new and reliable life to my old tab A. Big thankyou!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Master_TC:
My SM-T585 works great and stable with this rom.

The only thing that bothers me a little is the volume of the speakers. Where and how can this be increased a little?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] alexandros050:
Hello I am completely new at this and I have a question. If I install this will I be able to go back to 6.0.1 or does Lineage OS also update the bootloader which makes it then unable to downgrade? Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] K9100ii:
Neither. Upgrading to the latest stock Android 8.1 firmware to get the latest bootloader manually yourself is necessary before trying to install anything, and only after doing that, you wouldn't be able to downgrade back to 6.0.1.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] alexandros050:
But my sm-t580 is on 6.0.1 and when I check for updates there are none available to upgrade.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Lumito:
If the updater doesn't show any updates, you can always download the latest official stock ROM from this website: https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-tab-a-2016/firmware/#SM-T580. Remember to scroll down until you find the latest version for your country.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] harshybar:
How do I get Gapps working on this rom?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Lumito:
Download NikGApps or OpenGApps and flash it right after flashing the LineageOS rom. I recommend downloading core (NikGApps) or pico (OpenGApps).
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] harshybar:
Yeah i did the PICO and it just kept freezing at the updating apps screen
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] skiwarz:
I did pico and had no issues. Granted, it was a couple versions ago of this rom. But just make sure you wipe everything, install the rom, and then install the gapps package, all before rebooting.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Archaide:
Thank you very much. As always no problems.

I second the concern regarding the low volume. But to me it's not really a problem. I prefer an up to date rom over volume. :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] nmh5001:
Loving the rom so far, but I am having real issue with palm rejection and the S Pen. Any know fixes for this on AOSP roms?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] js-xda:
Also be aware that OpenGApps has sometimes broken versions. Give it a try with an older or a newer version. They will be anyways updated.

I have currently installed NikGApps Core without any known issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] crono141:
I have a small bug to report. The fantastic PC wallpaper manager Wallpaper Engine just got an android app. Works great on my Pixel and on the stock SM-T580 firmware, but on this rom all wallpapers play back at hyper speed. I opened a discussion with the developer here, but for now I've reverted to stock.

About to update my install. What NIK GAPS is everyone using?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] ktmu:
Just Core. Works fine :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Archaide:
Hi Taluatxda. thank you very much for the new rom.

as always i just flashed the rom and rebooted. No wipe, no gapps no nothing. I only have magisk installed but that was a long time ago and so far it survived every new flash of your rom. Love it. :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Rishar:
The rom works great, tablet has never been as fast and responsive as it is now.

I am running into issues with the S-Pen. Though not sure if it's supposed to have any of it or not anyway. There doesn't seem to be any settings for it and there is no palm detection or touch avoidance when using the pen. Are these features not included with this build?

Thank you

@TALUAtXDA

are you planning an official release too? or at least an ota update?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] RichyE:
He will not go official.

Here is one of the many reason why as he said before.

Going official would require me to go about doing things that are incredibly difficult and time consuming.

Hi folks, Any idea what I might be doing wrong here? I'm trying to flash T580 from an OTG USB. Using TWRP but not the version included in OP - I couldn't get to bootloader for some reason. Any suggestions? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Archaide:
I'm not an expert but i think you NEED the right TWRP for this to work.

Best regards.

Hi there!

I've been testing this OS for a few days and it goes smoothly, like a charm.

One question: there's any trick to transfer obb and data from a game to the micro sd?

EDIT:

Another question. Recent screens: are they handled strangely on your devices as well?

Yesterday I had just used Brave Browser, Zarchiver and Gallery and when I went back to "recent tabs" there wasn't any. It's not a big bug but it's definitely annoying...

Installation was a breeze once I re-learned Odin, LoL.

Did anyone get microg + Play store working with the Nanodroid installer? Just curious. EDIT: (or any other method aside from the Nanodroid installer)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] andreas__:
I'm happy with the following magisk module:

Hello and thanks again for your job. I have just updated with your last release and NickGapps Core as i usualy do but i lost all the desktop shortcuts and i got Gmail and lot of tools added from Google. Do you think that it can be related to your new release or from NickGapps ? I then reinstall your new release with the previous NickGapps version i had but shortcut were corrupted as well and not like before update. I restore the backup i did with TWRP before installing new release and i will wait about potentials others members issues or comment.

Thanks

Hi there,

I have question for you.

I have now installed Lineage in my tablet. Let's say I want to upgrade to a new version of lineage.

What's the procedure?

Thanks in advance...
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Lumito:
Download latest zip.

Reboot into recovery.

If it's a major update (eg. 17.1 to 18.1), format data and flash the zip. If not, just dirty flash it without formating.

Reboot into system.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Felicita M.:
thanks! But if there's a mayor update and I don't want to lose any data (apps, games)? How can i do?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Master_TC:
You can also do a dirty update there. But don't be surprised if you get error messages or weird errors. It's your decision.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Felicita M.:
Uhm... so you're saying that every major update it's better doing a clean install, erasing all data from the tablet? It's a bit intrusive...
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] K9100ii:
To clear up any concerns...

To update to a newer build for the same LineageOS/Android version with an existing installation, as mentioned before, all that is necessary is the installation of the newer build. There aren't any issues with doing so, and the possibilities of any (unexpected) issues are really minimal.

For major updates specifcally, to install new builds for new major Android/LineageOS versions, it would only be necessary to format the system partition before installing such a build, install the build, and then install new versions of packages (such as Google apps, if you need them) compatible with whatever newer version of Android. I've kept my exact same installation on my tablet for a few years from when I ran LineageOS 16.0 with no problems, just following that procedure for every new major version. It's just best to make backups of data before attempting an update to a new major version, and you'd also possibly need to install the latest version of TWRP at whatever time.

Indeed, needing a clean install every new major version is intrusive, and pretty inconvenient. As long as it's done properly as I described, problems would be avoided.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Felicita M.:
Thanks for your reply @TALUAtXDA , seems all clear. So...

- New build/same OS/ANDROID version: dirty install with twrp, without wiping anything.

- Ne build/ different OS/ANDROID version: clean system partition with Twrp and then flash new build and gapps (and Magisk maybe? You tell me)

Correct me if I'm wrong.

I have a big problem with football manager 2022. When I put the game in the background or simply shut down the screen, in a few minutes the game reset itself and starts from the beginning. Unfortunately its very annoying. I've already set the apk in the "without optimisation" group and set the tablet for maximum performances but nothing. The game keeps shutting down and show 0 minutes of activity in the background. There's a way to solve this situation?

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] unknowwiiplayer:
Thank you so much for bringing lineage os to my P-580, I tried making this myself some years ago but failed and gave up, all I achieved was a buggy twrp build which allowed me to install a crappy debloated rom based on stock oreo that I made and never released to the public (system settings were so bugged hahaha)

I installed your rom and can say gladly that it runs excellent, but I found an issue that is disabling for the ones that use the s-pen for handwriting stuff.

When using apps like squid or inkredible, if you release or start a normal touch input (it being from your palm resting on the tablet screen while writing) the s-pen input gets "discarded", I don't know if that's the best word to describe it, but surely this video explains it better.

I think that this happens due to the s-pen not disabling normal touch inputs while the pen is touching the screen, which is something that it does on stock samsung roms.

If you want me to help you test new builds to try fixing this, hit me with a PM!

Great release, the Tablet (SM-T580) works smooth, fast and pretty well except a WLAN issue. WLAN isn't working well if the router delivers 2,4 and 5 GHZ band within one SSID. The connection is always flapping and didn't get stable. It works only stable while connection to a 2,4GHz band hotspot.

Any idea how this can be solved or if it will be fixe in a future update?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] andreas__:
I have the same setup, but without any issues. In fact, 2.4/5 GHz switching works really well depending on signal strength, but stays stable once the tablet stays in the room.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] ThPrim:
Thanks for reply and good to hear that it works for others.

My router is in the same room as the tablet, but the same issue happens when I move to another room or get connected to one of my repeaters. Possibly I have to verify with different setup or in the rooms of friends in other WiFi environments to verify if it's only a local issue in my setup.

The speaker volume is low or there is any new update that fix it? I try older versions of this LOS but sound was really low compared to stock.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Rymaaan:
Install Magisk and use the Viper4Android Fx plugin within Magisk. You can boot the master volume up by a few dB's, but for it to work you need to disable the built in AudioFX app first.

Or if that's complicated for you, you can use an app called Volume Booster GOODEV, but be careful with that one and don't increase the volume too much or it could blow or distort the speakers.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] log30:
Thanks for the help, no problem to do it, it's many years already playing with android ;) but, have you tried this solution and does it work? because previously I tried things like this and they didn't work.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Rymaaan:
Yeah I've had success with both but I use the Magisk method. But for that one to work I had to disable the AudioFX app for it to work using adb.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] JimDandy68:
Thanks, as always, to @TALUAtXDA for making and updating this nice ROM, keeping old Tabs fresh.

I just updated to the latest, no issues. This time I tried experimenting with my update process. Every time, I've used ADB sideload in TWRP, exclusively. In previous updates, I found (I thought, but truthfully, I didn't really know) I had to install the ROM, NikGapps, then Magisk, rebooting each time to recovery (wiping Dalvik/cache each time).

I wanted to see if all of this was necessary. It's clear to me now that gapps persists, so doesn't need to be reinstalled. I should have looked at the output on previous updates, because you can see gapps being backed up and restored. But it still seems like I need to reinstall Magisk. Not a big deal, because I just rebooted to recovery and did it (ADB sideload), and it went fine.

So, a couple of trivial questions: 1) How do other people update this ROM, and 2) does anyone have a method that preserves Magisk?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover] Tromador:
For some reason I am failing hard at this installation. Here's where I am:

TWRP (https://dl.twrp.me/gtaxlwifi/twrp-3.6.0_9-0-gtaxlwifi.img) installed with Odin.

Successful boot to recovery.

Using TWRP formatted data, then factory reset.

Install Lineage from link on page 1.

Reboot to system, Lineage comes up as expected, asks for timezone etc.

Then

Reboot back to recovery.

Attempt to install mindthegapps.zip

Fails with twrp could not mount /system

Retry -

This time tried nikgapps but it skips all components due to insufficient space.

Retry -

OpenGapps does seem to have installed, but these sizes look funky.

Total System Size (KB) | 3023760

Used System Space (KB) | 1436756

Current Free Space (KB) | 1587004

Post Install Free Space (KB) | 829448 << See Calculations Below

When I am in TWRP, I can see 10GB of space across USB from my PC. (and the log file for the recently installed OpenGapps.

magisk appears to install ok.

----

Have I gone wrong somewhere. The final upshot is that all seems to be working as I would expect, but I spent (wasted) a ton of time trying to get mindthegapps (recommended from lineage wiki) and nikgapps (recommended from front page of thread) working.

The .sig below amusingly shows how out of date my knowledge is. None of it is accurate. I stopped messing with this when the big bad Knox fusible wossname came out.
