So, now I also had the time to install it, due to the fact that my S3 is also daily needed, I waited some time.

Works very smooth, fast and reliable for the first days.

My points:

After installing twrp I was not able to make a full backup, that was a little scary for me, and it ended in a bootloop

So I had to go on

Fortunately I had all needed data already on my NAS

Installation was fast and easy, also with Google Pico Apps

I work mostly with the pen.

OneNote: eraser works work the s pen button from the start

The return sensor button works when activated with the pen as intended, but the recent app (RA) button has a strange behavior, when I have my swype keyboard activated, and I touch the RA button the keyboard disappeares, but nothing happens.

If I touch it with the finger at the same stage it works as intended, the recent apps come up.

If the keyboard is not on, nothing happens at all when the RA button is touched with the spen.

Anybody the same behavior?

I have no spen-specific-app installed.

Thanks again a lot for maintaining the rom!

Hi together,

again I want to say thank you for this ROM to awesomatic. Fantastic work! 👍

At the moment I'm trying to help a little bit with enabling encryption. I managed to encrypt my tab with a modified ROM version. But it's not stable. So I cannot share some progress. Maybe someone can share some log files captured during encryption and afterwards (next boot). This would help me a lot.

But please be careful: When enabling encryption, your device will boot loop and you will have to format data.

If it is possible, please share logcat in "time" format for example created with this command: "adb logcat -v time > Log.logcat".
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] qm3ster:
Excellent ROM!

However, the

issue, which it seems requires a full reboot, is ripping my grandmother apart. Literally tearing her to shreds.

I read the thread, but don't see many end users mentioning it.

Is it being investigated? Are there some easy workarounds by the user not doing something?

How frequent is it supposed to be?

Are there any circumstances in particular when it happens more often?

(for example: Charger plugged in, long sleep, being locked on fullscreen video, being locked on fullscreen game, unlocking when a notification is being displayed, some particular types of screen lock, etc...)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Anderleanderle:
I had it only one time since installation, was right the first day, shortly after I wrote the last post.

But since then, nothing changed from my side, and it happened not a second time, I used it almost every day
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] qm3ster:
Oh! That sounds super manageable.

No, for her it happens multiple times per day.

I don't think I ever reflashed clean, only flashed January once, and then recently dirty-updated to March. But it looked exactly like the described issue: the screen was dark and black, but the front physical buttons would vibrate.

If it's not like this, it might be something wrong with the hardware.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] masdaster:
If you can grab logs (adb logcat -v time > Log.txt) I can take a look. Up to now I had no blank screens at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] qm3ster:
I nuked everything. Will do if I reinstall and the problem continues.

Could F2FS for Cache and Data be related?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] bmwdroid:
I had this problem from first custom ROM version onwards.

Took a log and it seems GSM service is the culprit.

After each update in the first few days the freezes were less and later happened more often.

Was never on charger at that time so Idk about that.

Usually happened when Messengers started to sync after turning on.

Same problem with Havoc btw.

To exclude gone back to stock yesterday to test if it's hardware related as I read about RAM soldering point issues.

Will keep you informed.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] qm3ster:
Wiped everything, formatted Data and Cache as ext4 (as mentioned, used f2fs last time), flashed the latest version and GApps nano (used micro last time).

So far *knocks on wood* hasn't happened once *spits*.

Could be, but not in my case - ours is a T820 :v

(Am implying yours might be a red herring as well)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] am2013:
@Awesometic: Want to provide very positive feedback that all issues related to secondary users I've reported some time ago are solved and all works as expected. So thanx a lot again for this great ROM.

Only issue is that the tablet is freezing sometimes on wakeup and I have to reboot. Does not happen very often though.

Is it possible to have the automatic night light fixed or is this a general Lineage issue?

Settings > Display > Night Light > Schedule > Sunrise/Sunset
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Sage:
i have 0 problems with this ROM thanks and well done!

Not sure if you are taking requests though a mild overclock option would be nice! :D

or does anyone know of a kernel that works with this i could use?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ChrisHide:
Hi there,

I have the problem that the tablet does not reconnect to the wifi when it is switched on or exits airplane mode.

Can you help me?

Regards Chris
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Awesometic:
Hello,

For me that Night Light on scheduling is working normally 🤔

Thanks for your review. :) I noticed that freezing problem can occur but yeah it is very barely caused
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] qm3ster:
Update: on the new install it doesn't happen :v

Now we will never know!

Can someone send to me the gps.conf file?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Mortus06:
Hi, I've installed the ROM on my SM-T825 through TWRP, rebooted the tablet and everything was great.

Then I started configuring it and I got to the point where it asked me to set a protection.

I chose fingerprint + PIN and, when I clicked "confirm" after typing my PIN when it requested me to confirm it, the settings app crashed.

A message popped up saying "the Settings app doesn't work."

I clicked "close app", turned off the tablet and, when I tried to turn it on for the second time, it got stuck in a bootloop.

P.S.: I can't access recovery
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] bmwdroid:
Download mode still accessible?

If yes it might be worth trying to just flash TWRP via Odin and, when rebooted to recovery, to make a clean flash (incl format data) from SD but this time with LOS19.1 which imo is much better anyway as being more stable.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Mortus06:
I somehow managed to access recovery and reflashed the ROM.

Now everything's fine and the tablet is usable, but I still can't set a lockscreen.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] franzli:
I have a bug report concerning WiFi display/screen casting.

It worked fine in the version 20211219 in which you first fixed WiFi display (tested with a MS Wireless Display adapter). Unfortunately, something seems to have broken the functionality in the next version, since both the February and March versions cannot establish a connection anymore.

I just noticed recently because I hadn't needed the screen cast for a while, but with teaching starting again, I now had to revert to the December version.

I tried to grab a log of the connection breaking down, maybe this could be useful. I'll upload it later from the tablet itself. Would be great to get this working again!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] franzli:
Here's the log around the time I tried establishing a connection.

ps: What the hell?!?! I attached the log file four times on two different browsers, upload - save, and then they still don't show up in the post?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] AllGamer:
Thank you everything installed and working fast and smoothly, millions of times better than the stock Samsung ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] etere:
Big problem with the latest version: random reboots (without using it) until the tablet (825) is definitely dead! Sometimes running out of battery completely, sometimes not. To restart it, power supply inserted, power+vol-+home....... Any kernel-related issues?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] bmwdroid:
@etere any specific reason why you don't switch to the much better A12 by brilliant @Awesometic unless you need the camera?

I've switched and can tell that after underclocking CPU by 2 klicks I encounter nearly no problems.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] etere:
How did you (and why) underclock the 2 klick CPU?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] bmwdroid:
Kernel Adiutor.

Stability and extending usage time.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Awesometic:
Hello all,

I updated LineageOS and HavocOS and uploaded them to the forum.

In this update, besides the latest Android sources, I added some more fixes including the fingerprint recognition issue.

Please check the update changelogs, thanks. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] bmwdroid:
@Awesometic thx for the info and your time for our device but even with the existing bugs I'll keep my T825 on your LOS19.1.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] fates13:
Thanks for the update! My wifi tab s3 was having black screens after trying to unlock the screen from sleep on the previous version. Seems to be fixed now.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Awesometic:
I do have a plan to fix the major bugs on my LOS 19.1, I hope I can fix them soon. 😅
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Anderleanderle:
Thanks you so much.

I made an update via TWRP, straight flashed without any wipe.

Everything is working fine, before the update I had sometimes that black screen after fingerprint reading, now after a few days that failure is away.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] EthanCrane22:
I've been running this ROM on my Tab S3 for well over 6 months (and of course updating as soon as a new version is released) and I have to say I'm quite impressed! I do have some bugs every once and a while but nothing a simple reboot doesn't fix! I greatly appreciate the work you've put into this! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] bs3pro:
Keep getting black screen during setup. What am I missing?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] bmwdroid:
Imo nobody can tell without more details.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] bs3pro:
Flashed latest lineage, and latest stock open gapps. Tablet boots but can't get passed setup, I get a black screen eventually.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] bmwdroid:
Still imo necessary details missing :

Which device?

Which TWRP?

Preparation before flashing?

Tried OpenGapps pico?

Without Gapps the same?

Tried other Gapps?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] bs3pro:
Ok, it's old twrp, maybe time to update to latest. Sorry, just broke the old tab s3 wifi to use as a media streamer. I did wipe system, and wipe data. It flashed fine. I will try latest twrp, and try pico. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] kpdominicano:
Hey everyone, so i recently got a t820 and i flashed this rom on it and i must say its pretty snappy compared to stock....my only issue is the Bluetooth function isnt working. Anyone else has had an issue with this or have a fix for it? Thanks for your help in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Awesometic:
Bluetooth should work out of the box. Can you turn on the Bluetooth toggle? Or, you can't use it at all?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] kpdominicano:
It toggles but nothing happens, it acts like its turning on but never does
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Awesometic:
Do you mean that the tablet doesn't find anything? It's strange.

Can you send me logcat including the specific progress, turn off BT -> turn on BT -> find nearby BT devices?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] kpdominicano:
I toggle the bt button on, then click pair new bt device, it says no bt devices were found, when i click back, bluetooth toggle is back off
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Awesometic:
Hmm.. I need the logcat because I don't know which error blocks your BT from working.

Does it work on the stock ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] kpdominicano:
How do i pull up logcat...i never tried it when it was stock, it was already rooted and recovery was flashed with an older version of twrp
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Awesometic:
Ah, then did you install my TWRP? This one: [RECOVERY][UNOFFICIAL][SM-T820][SM-T825][2021-11-30] TWRP 3.6.0_9.0 for Galaxy Tab S3 | XDA Forums (xda-developers.com)

I think you can try,

1. Install the latest TWRP, linked above.

2. Format again.

3. Wipe system, Dalvik cache, cache, data, and internal storage partitions.

4. Install this LOS 18.1 again.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] kpdominicano:
Yes thats the version i have ...what i dont remember is if i flashed before of after i installed rom..i will re flash, full wipr and reinstall rom i will let you know what happens
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] kpdominicano:
No dice, still no bt function...now one thing i noticed whenbibgot the tablet (purchased used on ebay) was when i turned tablet on, it says "security warranty bit: kernel" could that be why bt isnt working?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Awesometic:
Showing that message is normal for unlocked Samsung devices.

Then for the last try, I think you can check the Bluetooth working with the stock ROM. If it doesn't work, maybe your hardware has been corrupted.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] kpdominicano:
Do you happen to have a link to stock ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Awesometic:
You should download that from a Samsung firmware provider.

I don't know if I can recommend one here, but it's easy to find. Google will help you.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] kpdominicano:
So, i found stock rom and flashed tablet and still no BT functionality even with stock rom, so as u deduced its probably hardware issue i will be returning tablet and searching for a replacement. Thanks for the help
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Ruudvan10101:
Feedback on the new version of may 2022 android 11

1- I dirty flashed it on the previous firmware, and everything was good, it took a while to boot the first time but it's smooth and working perfectly, thank you so much for the improvement.

2- I let it work without any modification to the governor to check if the restart problem that I had with the previous one is gone (while the tablet is idle for about 3 to 5 minutes it restarts by itself and keeps restarting till it freezes and consumes all of the battery. Which I fixed in the past by changing the big clusters to interval governor). Unfortunately the issue remained and I had to edit the governor again.

3- I flashed "nikgapps basics" also and it's working perfectly with the device so thank you for the advice.

Overall you are making a tremendous work and we really are so appreciative of your efforts dean @Awesometic
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] etere:
... How did you do that
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] WayLAN_2022:
I've had this rom installed successfully for half a year and last night I connected it to the charger and let it charge overnight this morning suddenly no response tried to soft rest, boot in TWRP, and boot in download mode. Any idea what could be wrong?

Can I upgrade a previous version of this rom, or do I need to wipe first
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] bmwdroid:
On which ROM are you?

I've upgraded from 18.1 to 19.1 the way I've written above.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] roesja:
I just dit a dirty flash, (cleared cache).

- Flash latest version

- Flash gapps

- Flash Magisk

Now the fingerprint scanner is working! :)

Only issue left is that the arrow keys on the book cover are rotated. (Thus up is left, and down is right)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Awesometic:
The rotated arrow keys currently provided is fixed one surprisingly. :unsure:

When I added the book cover support into this ROM someone told me that it is rotated. So I patched that key arrange.

So roughly I think maybe there are two types of book cover keyboards for S3. But I don't have any of them. 😅
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] roesja:
I think I was the original someone who indicated the same earlier ;-).

Weird thing is, that if the app opened is forcing portrait mode (like APKPure) the arrow keys _are_ working correct, but never in landscape.

My feeling is that this has something to do with: keyboard.orientationAware (https://source.android.com/devices/input/keyboard-devices)

Specifies whether the keyboard should react to display orientation changes.

If the value is 1, the directional keypad keys are rotated when the associated display orientation changes.

If the value is 0, the keyboard is immune to display orientation changes.

The default value is 0.

It seems however that for the Sab S3 cover; it seems to be (wrongly) orientationAware.

Any way I could easily change this to 0? ;-)

Other physical keyboards are working fine.

Workaround which I am using is the "Key Mapper" from F-Droid, but is a bit of a hack using the accessibility services and a dummy virtual keyboard.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Awesometic:
Hello 😄

Nice finding. Then if my understanding is not wrong, then I think I can create some configurations for each keyboard type.

Android input device configuration file (.idc file) - Space Patrol Delta-(S.P.D)

In this link, the author specifies a device by the new configuration.

Is it possible? I don't know.. And I also don't know the exact device ID for the configuration.

What is the device ID of your book cover keyboard?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] roesja:
Very nice! Just looked p my vendor_id and product_id in /proc/bus/input/devices

Name = "Tab S3 Book Cover Keyboard"

Bus = 0018

Vendor = 04e8

Product = a035

Version = 0000

Thus indeed it seems if you are able to create the following idc file in: /system/usr/idc/Vendor_04e8_Product_a035.idc with the setting keyboard.orientationAware = 0 it would most likely solve my issue ;-)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] roesja:
Yippee it works! I created the file in /data/system/devices/idc (had to create the devices/idc part).

cat Vendor_04e8_Product_a035.idc

keyboard.orientationAware=0

Thanks for your help!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Awesometic:
Great. I will add your configuration to my ROM.

Thank you :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] WayLAN_2022:
Can this rom damage/destroy your tab s3 because after a half year of use mine stopped working p.s. i am not suing you that you destroyed my device i know the risks 😀
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] bmwdroid:
Imho not more than any other ROM could.

It doesn't overclock or anything like this.

Perhaps your device just reached its specific live span as mine is still working (on LOS19.1.).
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] entomologisthemant:
Dear Friends,

I am using t825 since its launch (I think since 2017). After one year I rooted it to make changes through prop.editor to connect my Gear S3 classic smartwatch. Since Android 7 I am frequently rooted this till Android 9.

Nightmare started when I sent my tab to Samsung service center for cracked Screen replacement, the formatted it and reinstalled latest Android 9 stock OS (1.5 years back). Since then OEM unlocking option disappeared from Developer's option section.

I read 100s of Google reviews, tried uncountable tricks mentioned in it, installed all versions of Android 8 and 9 (4 updates each), tried stock ROMs from many countries........ but no success.

I also tried various versions of TWRP to root it but as there is no OEM unlocking option there is no success.

I have attached screenshot of screen where actual OEM unlocking should be. As soon as it reappear, I will install LOS 18 in it.

Pl help me what to do?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] bmwdroid:
Which firmware version did they install?

At that time latest or still?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] entomologisthemant:
I am on T825XXU3CTA1 Android 9 UK firmware. I am from India. However, I tried firmware from different countries to enable OEM unlocking
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] entomologisthemant:
An update that may help me to solve my issue...

My tab is in

Prenormal KG/RMM State​

Just checked it through download mode. Pl suggest me how to come out of this state.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] bmwdroid:
Sorry to hear that.

Luckily I never had that.

Read this?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] entomologisthemant:
Thanks for reply.

I just read the process. I tried it earlier. However step number 15 says that-

15. deactivate OEM Unlock and reactivate

In my case OEM unlocking is not visible at all. How could I proceed then!!😞
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Awesometic:
You may need WiFi connection. As far as I remember, that option is invisible without the Internet
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] entomologisthemant:
Yes true. Throughout the process above, my tab was connected with WiFi.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] bmwdroid:
how long ago did you install the stock firmware?

Quite some days have to pass afterwards before OEM option appears if this trick doesn't work:

setup freshly installed stock skipping everything (no connection to any net/mobile).

So don't log into any account.

Set date/time manually to some previous month.

Activate dev options.

Turn off and restart.

Let it connect to external time source.

OEM unlocking option should appear now.

That worked at least once on mine.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] entomologisthemant:
@

bmwdroid​

Samsung repaired damaged screen and re-flashed Android 9 stock ROM. Since then OEM unlocking disappeared.

Before each try I waited for more than 7 days.

One more observation- When I set ANY previous date and try to check system update for FIRST TIME, there is an error message appears as device failed to register on server.

Now again I will try your method and update here. Hope this will work.

I've got a weird issue with Skype, the local self-picture looks fine but the one sent to the other person has colour issues (some sections of the picture are in B&W; white balance?), The audio & video settings in the app are missing. Those settings are also missing in Skype on my S8 which is running Lineage 19, but the sent video looks OK there. Anyone else have this issue/suggestions?

I notice the 19.1 ROM for the t820 now lists the camera as working (I'd used it earlier but had to bail out as the camera was not working at that point); can anyone confirm whether Skype works properly on there?
