[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Dwightsch:
Hello, thank you so much again for reviving this device with features that I'd never even imagine would work like the quad speaker, palm rejection with full spen support , HDR and... (just look how many people tried even with older android versions and couldn't get one of these features to work).

I've just updated to the new version, so my feedback is specific up to this update. The overall smoothness and functionality for a daily driver is almost perfect (for my t825). Even niche features like USB DAC passthrough which is buggy even on some stock roms, work flawlessly. The overall performance is near identical to modern devices if you don't install gapps and make do with alternatives like Aurora store. This might be a mistake on my part though but i fiddled with it a lot but in all cases, various background GMS components constantly throw random unspecific exceptions and loop around and cause significant overhead. This again might be specific to my setup or regional stupid Google stuff.

The only other issue with this is that fast charging doesn't always work, and that might actually be a blessing in disguise since the device is fairly old and battery will degrade much faster if you constantly use fast charge. If it doesn't work though a quick reboot might change that.

Regarding performance and battery, it's without exaggeration a different beast than the latest stock rom or custom ones by other Devs. Awesometic projects for this device (haven't tested the A12 one yet) are all awesome and i find havoc os to be better for my preferences in comparison to LOS.

Battery life is way better for me at least since last update.

I mostly use "Xodo" to study and annotate pdf books. It's really good and smooth. Recently sometimes i experience some glitches and hangups when I'm writing with the spen in xodo like it misses chars and catches up suddenly or kind of hangs up momentarily. This issue was not present till recent Xodo/rom updates so i can't isolate it if anyone knows of the cause I'd appreciate some guidance.

There are a few suggestions/questions i have which if you find the time to answer me I'd greatly appreciate it

1- which partitions (using your twrp) can be f2fs for this rom other than cache? I imagine using f2fs would help a bit since this device has a mediocre amount of ram and would swap a lot.

2- can the "memory extention" feature as in devices with MIUI be implemented to help with multi-tasking with this device? Would it even make sense for this SoC? (it's already way better than stock, i can run neutron in the background and annotate multiple books and take notes but if you us browser as well, it kind of overwhelms it.)

3- should i not be able to access sd card in file manager after i use "format as internal storage"? It doesn't show up in any file manager and you can only move certain apps to sd card. This is weirdly annoying and i looked it up and it isn't clear what's happening? Is it some sort of raid storage or is it only reserved for appdata? What good would that be since you'd essentially be able to so the same with the portable format? Plus can it be formated again with the flash friendly f2fs file system? (in either config).

Thank you so much again for your time and effort.

I urge anyone that's considering it to give this Dev's roms a try and if you can, donate for his unparalleled efforts and skill.

Wish you all the best

Sh
