[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] supermike86:
this rom is very good for me. very smooth and the bettery is really great. the rejection of the palm is a very good thing I have rediscovered again how to draw and write notes on my tab s3. the camera on a tablet in my opinion is a secondary thing and if all 4 speakers work it would be a dream job. the only small problem I encountered was that of chrome that does not synchronize with the google account. and overheating when used for many hours to make updates. it comes hot in the upper right. and if it were possible to implement gestures this would be fantastic. but so already beautiful rom. congratulations again.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] LedgendaryEpics:
gestures can be implemented using adb i think? look up xda gesture on play store, youre also rooted, so use xposed edge for more gesture control
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Duvel999:
Great news .

Hope you can fix everything like camera etc in time.

Take your time

Always fan of Lineeage os .
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Awesometic:
Now I'm trying to fix the camera, and actually I could use the same camera libraries from vendor firmware.

But it doesn't load properly just the same as audio. That means, I diff-ed the logcat of the stock firmware and the current mine. Almost the same for the first part of each component, but in the middle of the initializing, it gets slightly wrong way. 😅

Something goes wrong, and I think that affects both the audio and the camera.. Anyway, I'm doing hard. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] sebmue:
Thanks for doing it that way :) It's impressive what you have already achieved and provides a very usable, battery friendly and rather fast ROM.

Significantly tweaking the kernel seems not to be as easy as it is even for older chipsets. It seems to have severe throttling / heating issues, especially in this device. Changing throttling tresholds / as much undervolting as possible might be good single measures. As soon as I find a 820/825 kernel source with such optimizisations I will report back.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] bmwdroid:
Dunno if this helps you but I use "Kernel Adiutor" on Big and Little to just go down one step on max frequency and noticed no heating at all.

Is on autostart so only once to set up.

Of course Magisk and root acces is needed to use it.

Will you name an app I can test that for you with?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] pooyab:
Thank you for you efforts awesometic. I hope you can find a workaround for cam and quad speakers. It's a shame that such a great tablet was crippled by Samsung's poor software. this would be like a panacea for the poor guy
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] sebmue:
Thx for your offer 👍 using it already, but just for keeping cores at max upon input.

Do you experience less throttling by bringing max freq down?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] bmwdroid:
Probably would if I'd use an app which needs it.

During (my) normal use I'm experiencing none.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] mi_guel:
I've been using the rom for about a week, it's great, feels so much better than stock, besides the bugs already known, I have a problem, it does not detect the PS4 controller over Bluetooth, I can connect it, but it doesn't do anything, but the rom is great, it is now my daily driver
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Awesometic:
Great news here. The next release will include the fully-working quad-speakers. :D

And I also have implemented the audio rotation codes for the screen rotation.

Actually, I already have used it for about 3 days, and I think it looks working flawlessly.

And, for the alternatives of the Dolby Atmos, I have tested with the Dolby Digital Plus module with Magisk and I can say that it is awesome. :cool:

The new release will be uploaded before this weekend. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] sebmue:
Awesomematic news 🥰
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] LedgendaryEpics:
will the new update have the onscreen soft keys enabled within the settings?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Awesometic:
I have been trying to enable the on-screen keys but not good yet. 🤔
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] LedgendaryEpics:
its fine, youre the first developer that actually took it seriously. thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] mi_guel:
Have you tried with gravity box?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] bmwdroid:
@Awesometic dunno if I mentioned already:

when T825 is turned off and charging plugged in just a circle with a flash is shown but no battery status.

Pwr-on doesn't work.

Only possible way I found to start was button combo pwr-on plus Vol-minus.

Not a big deal, just wanted to let you know.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Awesometic:
Oh okay, I will look at that too. Seems that can be an annoying point when the Tab is discharged.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] pooyab:
If you don't mind, I have a request/suggestion;

Do you think it's possible to change the mouse/s-pen cursor to somthing smaller (like stock) or disable it completely?

It would be much more convenient in drawing apps imo.

I did a little search and found this although I don't know if it's applicable to current LOS version:

https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-change-the-mouse-cursor-on-android-for-otg-root-required.3401147/

Thanks again for your hard work. I feel I can actually use this tablet again!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] tateringot:
Awesome work so far, best custom rom I've tried for my tablet. Only one small thing that I haven't seen mentioned: the lock screen doesn't rotate, it always stays in portrait mode. Not huge problem, just wanted to mention it.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Awesometic:
Hi all.

Finally, I uploaded the quad-speakers fixed version. :)

Excepts for the quad-speakers, this version contains more improvements than before such as LiveDisplay, the smaller stylus icon, fast-charging, and somewhat unseen things.

Thanks for the feedback, but I already felt like that the previous one is too big to point something on the screen. :D

The LiveDisplay, now we can select one of the six display modes. And yes, one of them supports DCI-P3 as the stock firmware does.

And the fast-charging, I think it should work but the fast-charging driver denies the fast mode because it recognizes the camera as the "in use" state. So, it won't work for now even the option is enabled.

Please check the first post and changelogs.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] pooyab:
Wow! So you already were working on that! Thanks for the new upload! Would check it and report back asap
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] tateringot:
Actually turns out its an option in the settings that I missed, so nevermind lol. Just installed the new update btw and so far so good!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] bmwdroid:
@Awesometic thx for the update.

Tried flashing just after wiping only Dalvik, cache, system.

Flashed ROM, BiTGApps-arm64-11.0.0-R29_signed.zip (which worked before as well contrary to what it says in #1) and Magisk, rebooted, all fine.

Quad speakers hurrah.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] pooyab:
Hi Awesometic. tried the last version and everything is working great. rom is very stable and except the already known bugs, I haven't noticed anything else so far. just hoping for a camera fix and also the way tablet deals with charging in turned off mode. of course other things like fast charging, permissive selinux and... are worth fixing but not a priority to me at least.

thanks again for your great work
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] mi_guel:
The update is great, I'm happy to have the quad speakers again, Awesometic you're the best,

By the way, dirty flashing works, no need to wipe anything
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Andy_Vie:
First time I flashed custom-rom on my beloved S3 (last Android with 4:3 ratio and headphone jack which also becomes more and more rarely) - I want to keep it alive as long as possible. I am very happy with your custom-rom, the only thing annoying for me is the charging-freeze when powered off, but this seems to be a problem which is ususal, I can live with that. Thanks again for your great support :) Surely worth a great cup of coffee for me - enjoy :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] LedgendaryEpics:
with android 10, yes. did not work for anything, no matter what i did. now i tried it again and it works! thanks man for brining the sugestion back up for me again. idk why it for for android 11 now, even though I still cant edit build prop but it works so i cant complain. the rom is astronomically faster than any rom that ive tried with this tablet, gonna stay on the august build until it is out of alpha and becomes stable
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] RaySCLA:
Great job, developer! I flashed the rom just to try it out and decided to keep it as my daily driver. Thank you for this. I look forward to future development of this rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] LedgendaryEpics:
wifi direct... any update on this, im unfortunately on sh**y verizon.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] MP1_:
Thank you Awesometic for this great ROM! I just installed it and it's smooth sailing so far :) .

One Feature-Request, if I may: Would you mind adding F2FS Support in the Kernel (and your TWRP build), so one can convert/format the cache and data partition from EXT4 to F2FS? I used to do that on my Galaxy Tab S2 9.7 running LineageOS16. It prevented me from expieriencing slowdowns over time due to flash fragmentation. And seeing as the Tab S3's flash isn't the fastest to begin with ... .
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Awesometic:
Thanks for sharing your experience compared to Tab S2. Now I can sure that we need F2FS to improve its performance. :)

Yeah it'd be great if it will support F2FS. I think It will do but not in the near.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Broxin:
Is the s-pen supported?

And can i use a 400gb sd card formated as internal storage?

Thanks for all
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] bmwdroid:
Only basic functions like on all custom ROMs as Samsung doesn't give necessary infos.

Marking, drawing/writing works.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Awesometic:
Hi all,

Finally, I can take a picture with my Tab S3 :)

But still, there are some annoying bugs about the picture resolution, a flashlight behavior, ... but yeah it is usable when I take something using slightly lower resolution without the flashlight.

Also, for now, both the LOS camera app and Snap camera are not working well while Open Camera and Google Camera seem to be working well.

For now, the major problem is that if I use a flashlight in the camera app at least once, the overall GUI animations slow down even I closed the camera app.

So, when I publish the camera fixed version, at least I will fix this most bothering thing even though I can't fix it all for the camera.

Can't pass magisk cts profile. have tried universal safetynet fix kdragon. basicintegrity ok. is there a fix?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Awesometic:
Sorry, I have done anything about SafetyNet. How about hiding Magisk from Google Play services? Haven't tested on my side..
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] massivenuts:
Nah still fails on cts? Just reflashed as i need it for netflix and banking.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Awesometic:
Banking is not sure, but for Netflix you can use that by hiding Magisk from Netflix. :)

But you still have to download the apk file from another source instead of PlayStore. 😅

Have you formatted the partitions before flashing?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] bowei:
Thank you for your reply. I formatted it, and then I tried Lineage 17.1, and it worked.But I still can't use your ROM, still error 1
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Awesometic:
What is your recovery? Tried my one at the first post?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] bowei:

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Awesometic:
Hmm.. Could you download the LOS 18.1 ZIP file again?

Or, you also can flash my ROM using another recovery. -> Ah you already tried. 😅
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] bowei:
Yes, I did. I downloaded your ROM twice.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Awesometic:

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] LedgendaryEpics:
Just in case anyone other than me is still wondering. In order (for now) to have the navigation bars enabled, you have to flash edexposed YAFHA 0.5.1.x and up in order for it to work. It will not be enabled using sandhook for some reason, haven't tried regular edexposed zip, but assume the same. Will keep you posted if anyone's interested.

I succeeded. I later swiped back to the Hong Kong version of the system. At first, I used other systems on this device. after that, I brushed your ROM and didn't prompt errors 1 again. I'm very happy, thank you for your efforts
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Awesometic:
News about the camera.

Finally we can use the default Snap camera app with no major issue, for taking a picture or recording a video with the front/rear camera.

But in our case, using the Open Camera app from PlayStore is much better than the built-in Snap camera.

There will be small bugs yet like the flashlight behavior on the quick panel after using a camera app, but it is usable I believe and thankfully the testers from our Telegram channel agreed that. :)

It will do work at least as much as LineageOS 16.0 or 17.1 on here does.

So I plan to upload the new build today or tomorrow and gathering the feedbacks, and will upload another build after the LineageOS gets the September security patch. Actually I think I cannot deal with all the unwanted behavior about the camera because it uses the vendor pre-built libraries by Samsung but I will try to find a workaround.

Yeah, let's go to the beta. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] bmwdroid:
@Awesometic that's really good news.

I'm eager testing it.

Preferring OpenCamera anyhow.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Awesometic:

Hey dude. Thanks for your efforts to make my tablet usable again. Although there is a minor issue in the latest update. when i tried to set a pattern for screen lock, my device crashed and got stuck in a boot loop. I hope you will fix this issue. Thanks again
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] bmwdroid:
That's great man.

Thx very much.

Being lazy I tried a dirty installation first on T825 meaning only wiping system + caches. Then flashed ROM, BitGapps64 and Magisk.

Rebooted and all settings and everything else seems to be still working.

Plus camera (tested with OpenCamera) (y)(y)

Will carry on testing a bit and will quote issues.

Btw. noticed once in a while that after letting it rest in flight mode overnight it freezes after turning on WiFi. No more input possible in that state just turning off/reboting with pwr button works. Next time that happens I will test if I can access it via ADB and pull a log.

@Awesometic Latest version is a most stable ROM.

No more freezing when switching from flight mode to WiFi in the morning although CPU load still reaching 99%.

So no issues noticed.

From my point of view you can delete the "beta".
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] am2013:
@Awesometic: First of all I want to really thank you for this ROM as it really shows what the S3 is capable of. It is really emberassing and a shame for the OEM that the original firmware is such a desaster concerning performance. So again thank you very much for the developement as this ROM boosts perfomance a lot. Now for the first time the device is usable.

I have installed the latest version and have found some bugs which may be fixable pretty easy.

1. Settings > Display > Night Light > Schedule > Sunrise/Sunset

Night Light is Not Automatic with Sunrise/Sunset. So it does not switch automatically.

I'm also sharing my Tab S3 SM-T820 with my family and it looks like there are some probably permission related issues concerning additional/secondary users. I hope that this can be fixed easily. With that fixed it will become a perfect device ;)

2. System does not work properly for additional/secondary non primery users:

a. when trying to install an app as an additional/seconbdary user I'm getting an error that there is unsufficient storage and I should free up some storage. This happens for all new apps which are NOT already installed by the main user.

b. I am only able to install the apps that are also already instralled by the main user. Then no error occurs and apps are directly added (not really installed) and available for the secondary user.

c. b works for all apps except Chrome. I'm not able to install Chrome at all as a secondary user event with it being installed already for the primary user.

d. camera does not work for secondary/additional users.

Hope that this issues for additional user accounts can be sorted out pretty fast with the next update.

Then I have an additional question to all: Can I use device encryption with this ROM and how would it handle the encryption of the /data for any additional users?

Thanx in advance,

am
