Hi, I had original Android 8, but before it I have LOS, now I have installed again LOS, hoping not to lose charging again, regards.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] gsusmorales:
I have installed LOS and it is working back again, also level was not working, I think it happened because I installed another camera app and then something got wrong with permissions or so, no idea
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Sekers:
Thank you so much for releasing this; I think my S3 tab might have some life left in it now. I have two questions:

Would it be correct that you are not planning on implementing a SafetyNet fix such as https://github.com/kdrag0n/safetynet-fix and the best thing to do is install Magisk and install this module even if we don't need root?

I see that you just fixed the fingerprint reader not working in 3rd-party apps (bank apps, password managers, etc.) in your Lineage S3 tab release. Will that fix be coming to this ROM? Or is there an easy workaround we can implement to get it working in apps?

Thank you again for your work on this. VERY much appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] franzli:
Wow, thanks, that's interesting, so somehow my kernel does not see the BIG cores! I wonder if they're even used! Although some of the cores in kernel adiutor actually do clock higher sometimes, i.e. over 2GHz. Not sure if that means that they're actually the BIG cores and something is not recognised correctly?

Does anyone have an idea how this could happen (and how to resolve it)?

As noted earlier in the thread, I just reflashed the latest stock ROM before, so I thought there shouldn't be any interference from with previous custom ROMs.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] bobcote:
Hi and thanks @Awesometic for the ROM.

I just installed latest version of this rom coming from stock.

Seems to work mostly fine for the few minutes I tried it.

The problem I get so far is that I cannot set a pin/password/fingerprint.

If I try the system will hang, crash, then be stuck for many bootloops. (It finally came back after 5-6 bootloops but still without PIN set)

Edit1: I just retried and now it works.

Edit2: another strange thing I noticed after a few hours of usage is that the bottom right corner of my tablet is often hot. (that is, while holding the tablet in portrait orientation with device buttons at the bottom) Seems to have settled cold now.

Edit3: haptic vibration setting does not seem to work. Whatever I choose light, medium or high, the result is the same.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Awesometic:
Hello,

I uploaded the new version for HavocOS and LineageOS. Please visit my LineageOS thread to check the changes.

Thank you for the feedback. And that part, actually I feel like it doesn't work like you. I will remove that feature in the coming version.

To fix the SafetyNet without root, we need SELinux enforcing as far as I know. And this part is so hard for me yet 😅

And every change is applied to the HavocOS. Those two ROMs share the same device tree.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] bobcote:
I just downloaded latest version and my password manager (Bitwarden) does not offer me to unlock my vault with fingerprints as it does not seem to detect that I have fingerprints stored in the system.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Joeschi:
Hello bobcote, what was your solution to geht rid oft the crashes? I've the same problem and the impression that the amount oft crashes is rising up very fast.

Joeschi
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Duvel999:
See post 52 of franzli..

There's the solution
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] bobcote:
Do you mean the bootloop I had?

If yes, then as explained in my post the system rebooted like 6 times in a row and then at some point for no reason it finally was able to boot normally. I just tried again to set the pin code as I had done earlier and this time it worked without crashing.

Since then I also added fingerprints but even on the lockscreen it's not working, fingerprints are never recognized.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Joeschi:
But post 52 is regarding a netflix problem. Is also a debloated stock Rom and the following installation of lineage/ havoc responsible for crashes? That would mean a lot oft work. UPS. Thanks for your reply. I will try it. Joeschi
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Duvel999:
Yes, first install latest stock ROM as a fresh install.

Factory reset etc. Full wipe. Clean install.

If necessary do it 2 times.

Then flash the custom ROM .

Do everything in separate steps and reboot between.

Good luck
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Joeschi:
Hello Duvel999,

there must be another problem. I installed the system as proposed and generally it's working fine. Although Magisk 24 is running properly. But the system still crashes sometimes and this only happens, if I try to unlock the tablet. Actually I've deactivated lock and no crash happens.

Joeschi
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] bmwdroid:
My T825 sometimes crashes as well.

I got used to live with it.

A crash log once led me to think that GSM is the culprit as it usually happens, when switching off flight mode.

Few days ago I experienced a new crash type (pic).

After some time the button combo worked and everything was normal again.

Somewhere I've read about RAM defects but Idk.

Gonna test tweaked stock again to see if it's ROM related.

I think that it's not a RAM- defect. Stock is working properly (in my case). But I had the same problem with lineage.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Awesometic:
Hi,

Is that problem caused every time you switch off flight mode?

Did you capture logcat as a file? If so, could you send me that via PM (conversation in XDA) ?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Joeschi:
Hallo Awesometic,

the crashes only happend after trying to unlock the tablet. Not very often. Today the tablet crashed and as I've installed Logcat reader, I could export the Logs into a textfile. So I will send you the file via pm.

I thought this is about HavocOS but says if you want to install GApps you have to install LineageOS first?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Duvel999:
No, if youre on Stock go straight to Havoc os.

If your on Custom, flash Stock and later Havoc os.

Thank you very much for this wonderful rom. Running perfect here. Fast and stable. No problems.

I don't use a display lock and didn't test it...

Magisk 24.3 with zygisk and lsposed are working perfect.

CTS and safetynet passed 👍 Magisk is invisible and all my apps are working. E.g. Sky Go

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] DeLLyCeM:
Hi,

First of all thanx 2 @Awesometic for cooking the rom.

I have been testing Havoc for 2 days, much much faster than the stock.

Made a clean flash from stock rom, added zip of NikGapps Omni pkg with the rom to install at once.

I have clean installed for 6-7 times last 2 days to find out the best Google pkg between OpenGapps, NikGapps and BitGapps

OpenGapps causing issues when a package with Webview stock replacement included, black screen issue when setting up tablet at google account addition.

So if you go with OpenGapps just edit config file to not install Webview or stay with the lower packages to avoid having issues at the inital setting up process.

I have not installed Magisk at all;

Latest Netflix apk from apkmirror works with Full HD and Widevine L1 without any mod. When watching Test Patterns goes up to 1920x1080 res.

Some issues I have which are not stated;

- SD Card goes nuts after waking from long standby. Tried with both mount as internal and removable external; same errors. I think driver or library related with card reader not waking up after some standby sleep.

- Fingerprint reader also not working after waking from long standby. I think sensor or library related with sensor not waking up after some standyby sleep.

- OS is not fully translated in different languages, some parts are missing and showing in English.

- Random restarts occur when an app freezes or not responds.

Other than these; tablet is much much faster which I have compared with other tablet scores using Antutu, Passmark and Geekbench.

All the scores from these benchmark applications are higher than stock rom Tab S3 devices on the shared lists.

My device's Geekbench Single-Core Score with HavocOS is 322

Online score list of Geekbench;

Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Benchmark Single-Core Score 284

Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 10.5 Benchmarks Single-Core Score 355

Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Benchmarks Single-Core Score 334

Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite Benchmarks Single-Core Score 330

By the way my device is SM-T827 but now converted to T825. Cellular seems to be working but I have not tried to make a phone call.

Have been using this roms for a few weeks now.

I haven't encountered any reboots after turning on airplane mode. It is so pretty smooth and stable . You gave my tablet a new life, thanks a lot mate !

I am using this tablet for studies, so taking notes is much nicer and overall speed is amazing!

Battery life is also neat. Can really recommend this rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Awesometic:
Hello all,

I uploaded the update for HavocOS. Now, we're using HavocOS 4.16.

The overall changelogs will be the same as the LineageOS 18.1 I wrote in this forum too.

Check the update, thanks. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Awesometic:
Thank you for your detailed review of this ROM. :)

1.

You can format data and cache partitions to F2FS. This could increase its performance but it also comes with less stability than using the EXT4 file system.

2.

I don't know if there is an open-sourced code for the memory extension feature. But even if there it is, I think that it would be not good for our device since our device uses eMMC for its main storage which is not that solid for numerous uses. It can be broken easily compared to UFS that most devices use these days.

Instead, we are using ZRAM and ZSWAP to secure more memory space and I set it to get 2 Gbytes more at maximum.

3.

Have you checked that option in the Settings app too? I think I saw that message when I insert a SD card in its slot. By default, I think it should be portable storage so that you can manage the files on your SD card. I didn't try to format the SD card to F2FS, it may work since our kernel supports that, but I don't sure.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Dwightsch:
Hello again thank you for taking the time to answer really appreciate it.

I do apologize for thinking this dev has a full duplex ufs. My assumption was era appropriate and given that samsung always makes a big deal about "low quality" sd cards slowing down their products, I thought the alternative isn't just a 32gb emmc. On that front im really sorry, I do try to educate myself before asking question as to not waste time because of my ignorance.

About the SDcard format as internal storage issue, I investigated it a bit further. Again no real offical or sensible document out there from google or anyone about what this feature is, but i did find out that it works in a rather stupid way. When you choose "format as internal storage" for your SDCard, then you have to follow the next prompt or go to storage setting and "transfer your data and apps" or something to the sd card, after the android wizard is done, you have additional "explore" option in storage manager and other file managers also recognize the SDCard, but the really annoying thing is that you lose access to your own internal storage! other than some system related stuff, nothing can be stored or accessed on the internal storage and the SDCard replaces the main one in common directories.

now why would this be a thing I really don't understand, I was kind of happy that it might be some sort of Software Raid 0 so it'd improve some performance and storage capacity however effective or possible that may be with an emmc and a SDcard at the cost of portability but it seems it offers absolutely no additional value in comparison with formatting as portable storage. although theoretically SPI can be faster using a relatively fast microSD at least for random IO loads despite the fewer data lines and might somewhat lower the degradation of the device's emmc, it still doesn't make any sence. It again might be my error or it might be addressed in A12 but as is, it seems like a useless feature google went with.

sorry again for the long rant and the redundant question about the storage interface. If you have any thoughts on the SD card thing I'd really appreciate even some links or guidance as to what and why is this storage formatting method or any alternatives to it (not specifically this device just android ecosystem in general with an integrated storage alongside an additional sdcard)

Thank you very much

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] MKRashka:
Thank you a lot for this ROM!

Flashed it 3 weeks ago, tested a little bit, and re-flashed it today including Magisk, Zygisk and a safetynet fix.

Everything except of one thing is working perfect:

When some apps try to get camera access, the app will crash instead of opening the CAM (WhatsApp & Signal work 8 out of 10 times, PokemonGo and Google Duo crash every time). I've also installed Google Camera for testing purpose and because I like it (using a pixel phone ;) ) but Google Cam crashes on startup, no matter what I do.

Any idea how to fix this?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] bmwdroid:
I think I used OpenCamera when mine was on this ROM before switching to LOS19.1.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] MKRashka:
I wiped the dalvic cache yesterday after reinstalling GApps and Google camera, now it works like it should.

But the Tab is getting really hot in the upper right quarter if it has something to do (pokemon go f.e.)

Can't remember to get these temps before, but also my kids didn't play games on the tab before.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Awesometic:
Unfortunately, our AP can get really hot very easily. And the game, which even uses camera, really loves CPU to be hot. :)

You can underclock CPU as much as you need using a kernel auditor app. It requires root of course.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] MKRashka:
we don't use the AR/ AR+ stuff, but the app still uses the camera (quite anoying and battery consuming).

A "fake cam mod" would be nice here ;)

can you recommend a kernel app that can do this on "per-app" base?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Awesometic:
Ah, I see, that's really strange.

Actually I don't know that per-app base kernel auditor app 😅

I use my tablet as it is, didn't edit its governor and clock speeds. In my experiments, if it reaches about 60 C then the clock starts getting lower.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Duvel999:
Try ProCam X ( HD Camera Pro ) from Playstore.

(Lite & Pro version)

This works very good & got many adjustable settings
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] bmwdroid:
Allow me to lead your attention to this post.

My T825 is for quite a while now on LOS19.1 and with latest version camera is working fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] MKRashka:
Works like a charm with ProCam X Pro, thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] onolox:
Hi, I have a T825. First, incredible ROM @Awesometic , I can now use this tablet for more years! I'ts incredible how fast it is, it's 3~5x faster than the stock 8 or 9! It's like I just bought an S6!

I always thought why the tablet, that once was fast become so sluggish... it's a top tier 820 for gods sake. It's the programed obsolescente...

But one thing bothers me a lot, if you can change the recents app to something that shows at least 4 last apps, and not a giant single app that will be great, like the stock that when we press the recents it shows the 6 last apps.

Oh and a tip: Put somes cryptos to donate, a multiwallet like atomic wallet can do the trick.

[Sony Xperia 1 III] TheKorbenDallas:
I see that B&H Photo sells XQ-BC62 model in US as "Sony XPERIA 1 III Dual-SIM 256GB 5G Smartphone (Unlocked)", i.e. the dual-SIM capability is explicitly claimed.

Meanwhile other US web sites (e.g. BestBuy) also sell XQ-BC62 model in US without mentioning the dual-SIM capability.

So, is XQ-BC62 sold in the US a dual-SIM phone or not?

I understand that Sony devices whose designation begins with X are supposed to be dual-SIM, at least hardware-wise. But there could be software differences, right? Or not?

---

A more specific question that interests me is about future AT&T compatibility. The AT&T's compatibility list clams support for XQ-BC62. So, does it mean that the dual-SIM phone from B&H is going to be supported? Or is there a chance that it will stop working on AT&T network after February 2022, despite being on the list?
[Sony Xperia 1 III] TheKorbenDallas:
Uh... Sorry. My mistake. BestBuy page also says it is dual-SIM. Missed it.

Everything's clear now.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] TrulyPain:
As shown on GSM Arena, all model numbers of the Xperia 1 iii are hybrids. That means they have one regular sim slot and one sim/sd card slot even though only one of the two sim cards can use 5G at one time.

I did have the same experience when ordering my Xperia 10 III. On the website I ordered from. It said it would only have one sim slot. But I did some research and found out it was a hybrid, which I did confirm on delivery.
