About LineageOS:

LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 9 (pie), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.

LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts. LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.

/*
* I'm not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed (like it did for me...).
* Please do some research if you have any concerns about features included in the products you find here before flashing it!
* YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
* Your warranty will be void if you tamper with any part of your device / software.
* Same statement for XDA.

Features

Check out all the great stuff of LineageOS here

My builds are signed by a custom key for better security

F-Droid + priv ext + a bunch of additional repos included

AuroraStore included

My builds come with full OTA update support :)

... you know that thing which informs you that a new update is there and where you just click to download + install ;)

Known issues

Keep in mind that this is

brand new stuff

so it may (still) contain unknown issues!

So back up regularly and frequently!

LineageOS Camera does not work -> install "Open Camera". I am NOT working on a fix sorry.

Open Camera does work but only for photo, i.e. video recording fails. I am NOT working on a fix sorry.

Bluetooth might crash/stop working when enable + disable afterwards (reboot to fix that)

If you find a bug not listed let me know and SHARE LOGS! -> READ FAQ#1 for how to provide proper logs.

Requirements

Latest TWRP or SHRP (recommended) build.

Do a full (i.e. Nandroid) backup before doing anything!

Samsung STOCK firmware should be on T285XXU0AQH1.

You can check your current firmware version in Android -> settings -> About / Phone info -> Baseband version

If you like try first without flashing this firmware but if you encounter any issues upgrade to this version first before reporting

Fast and (afaik) good site for downloading: https://sfirmware.com/samsung-sm-t285/

(scroll down and type T285XXU0AQH1 in the search box, choose the one for your country, download, flash as usual, flash TWRP/SHRP again, flash this ROM)

Installation

Full clean install as described here (FAQ #2) is highly recommended. DO NOT REPORT ISSUES when you have skipped that step!

Flash the ROM

Optional (if you want root): Flash Magisk

Optional (if you want to use google stuff): Flash GApps (ARM, 7.1)

Boot it (will take a bit on first boot!!! be patient!)

Enjoy
