Using solid explorer full version

Solid explorer my files root folder data-linageos update

Copy paste to SD card flash with twrp wipe art Cashe and Cashe flash magisk 24.3 latest apk wipe art cache and dalvik cache to still have root.

Job done hope it helps someone.

My problem is my SD card is formatted by Lineage 19.1 so its no different than internal storage. TWRP doesn't recognize my SD card.

Well format it on computer using windows or hard disk low level or mini tool partion works for me,

But I always use as external on android

It hasnt been implemented in crDroid yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] Mobe1969:
Ah. Yes, it is a (I think) a pretty terrible choice by android, but fortunately LuK1337 fixed it on Linage! I've just tried it, and so much nicer back as it was.

While I had it on screen though, I couldn't get it to hide by holding down on the taskbar
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] Marky__Mark:
I did that and the 5/2 build automatically installed the lineage os recovery over TWRP so the issue is moot now. It works better than TWRP now anyway.

Thanks for maintaining this device, @LuK1337

Upgrade from 18.1 to 19.1 went smooth:

1. Flashed newer TWRP (https://dl.twrp.me/gts4lvwifi/twrp-3.6.1_9-0-gts4lvwifi.img.tar.html) and latest stripped firmware (https://github.com/luk1337/gts4lv-fw/releases) in ODIN

2. Downloaded the latest LOS build, MindTheGapps 12.1 ARM64 (https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=322935) and Magisk.apk (renamed to .zip) and copied to sd-card

3. Restarted in TWRP and flashed LOS, MTG and Magisk

4. Wipe cache and reboot

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] momomomonsterbill:
Hello, thank you for making LineageOS possible on the S5e!

I have 4 questions before installation:

1. Do I understand it correctly that OEM-unlock is not 100% reversible because "knox" cant be returned to stock? This would be a problem should I decide so sell the tablet after a while.

2. Can anyone please provide me with a link where I can read how to back up (and restore) stock firmware and bootloader/recovery? I haven't had the best experiences finding and downloading firmwares after some years on some sketchy websites ;)

3. Is it recommended that I install all the latest updates to the stock firmware before LOS-installation?

4. Installation instrucions say "holding Volume up + Volume Down + Power". How can I press Up and Down at the same time?

PS: Did anyone install using "Heimdall" on Linux?

Two questions:

How to install Netflix? (Not available in PlayStore)

Is there a way to get the same sound like on stock rom?

Not sure how to describe... more voluminous?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] Lord Sithek:
As for Netflix, you don't pass Safetynet on this ROM at start. If you are rooted, use two modules - MagiskHide Props Config (and you have to pick certified fingerprint) and Universal SafetyNet Fix (will force basic attestation). Both modules available on Github. Then reboot, clear Play Store data and check
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] LuK1337:
Or just skip all this nonsense and install Netflix apk from apkmirror.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] Brämse:
ah ok seems similar to the workaround for Netflix HD or would i also get HD with apk from apkmirror?

and the sound? Is that a driver issue?

not allowed to use the stock stuff or just not possible?

oh and thx for the fast reply :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] LuK1337:
Netflix HD should just work.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] rogers11:
Hello, I installed LOS 19.1 last week together with MindTheGApps via adb and also Magisk (ZIP via adb).

I do have addon.d scripts for lineage, gapps and magisk in the corresponding folder but the following OTA did not reinstall Magisk.

What could be the reason or should I install TWRP and install OTAs and Magisk from there?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] vpn560:
Hello, rogers11.

As in

Upgrade LineageOS on gts4lvwifi | LineageOS Wiki

wiki.lineageos.org

, You have to "(Optionally): If you want to install any add-ons, click Apply Update, then Apply from ADB, then adb sideload /path/to/zip those packages in sequence".

Updater app doesn't work with TWRP, works only with LOS Recovery IMHO, AFAIK etc 😜

So, update by update to revive Magisk one must use ”Apply Update, then Apply from ADB, then adb sideload /path/to/zip" IMHO, AFAIK etc 😜

May be some other release/patch for Magisk exist...
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] rogers11:
Thanks, but these are the instructions to upgrade to a higher version of LOS. I'm already at 19.1.

You are absolutely right. Mea culpa.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] XorZy:
Hello,

First of all thank you for your work on this device.

I've recently updated my tablet from LineageOS 18.1 to 19.1 (I followed the instructions there https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/gts4lvwifi/upgrade) but I've been having issues with the AOSP keyboard.

Sometimes it works but most of the time it just shows a big black rectangle instead of the keyboard.

Since the fingerprint detector is not very reliable, there are times when I cannot even unlock the tablet.

Other keyboards work fine but I've really gotten used to the AOSP layout and would like to keep using it if possible.

Here is the logcat.

I've cleared the cache of the AOSP Keyboard but the issue persists.

View attachment 5624745

Also, is everything supposed to look "brown" like on the following screenshot?

I've seen other screenshots of LineageOS 19 and it seems to me the colors are a little off on my device.

Photos and movies look fine, it's just the system UI that has that weird tint.

I've made sure night light is disabled but maybe I'm imagining it?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] rogers11:
Regarding keyboard: Did you add a second language to the keyboard? I get the same problems in this case
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] XorZy:
Thanks for your reply!

Yes as a matter of fact I do have two languages. I've just tried disabling one. At first it did nothing. I rebooted the device and the keyboard worked just once to unlock the tablet but it stopped working immediately after :(
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] rogers11:
Languages is set to system language now? Also check if "divided keyboard" is unchecked. Don't know the real translation.

Don't know more to help.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] XorZy:
So I've tried with two system languages, but only one keyboard layout enabled manually, didn't work.

I've also tried with only one system language and 'use system languages' but it didn't work either.

"Split keyboard" is disabled.

When the keyboard works going to the special characters page has a very high chance of crashing it and it doesn't work anymore after that, until I reboot the tablet.

Thanks for the help anyway!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] rogers11:
Best thing is to look for a working keyboard, not that easy.

LOS 19.1 spellchecking also does not really work (e.g. with Firefox) or it recognizes all words with points as error (e.g. end is ok, but end. not), ...
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] The_Blob:
I do habe exactly the same issue on gts4lvwifi. Trier all the mentioned proposals but none worked so far reliably...
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] vonkestrel:
I had the same issue with AOSP Keyboard and I started to use OpenBoard for the time being. It is a fork of AOSP, looks the same, and also has some neat features like spacebar trackpad and additional dictionaries. Its source is on github, so I'm guessing it can be trusted.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] The_Blob:
Thanks that one works for now.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] sw_strange:
Same keyboard issue here too. It seams to work okay in some apps and not okay in others. Often times, the keyboard will open okay but if I select the number pad I get the black screen. I'm wondering if it might have something to do with the way the app handles the keyboard and not the keyboard being the problem. I just upgraded my phone and there are no issues with the keyboard.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] XorZy:
Thank you for your suggestion! It's a great workaround until the keyboard is fixed.

Regarding my second issue about the weird UI tint, is it really supposed to look brown like that?

If so, is there any way to change the color scheme to something less... ugly ?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] rogers11:
It depends on the background. Try another one with a different colour.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] XorZy:
Wow thanks you're right!

I would never have guessed that, what a weird "feature" I must say.

I've changed the background and it looks much better now, but I don't suppose there is a way to keep the colors independent of the background?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] rogers11:
Try LWP+ or Repainter. I've tried both but don't use one of them at the moment (but a very dark background).
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] maciej77:
@LuK1337 - thank you for your hard work, ROM works great - I had no problems, Gapps works perfectly, Magisk + modules and... I have the Netflix from GPlay and Apex working on rooted device :)

A few cosmetic bugs remain - like battery usage percentage or Files app without all file permission (Android > data / obb folders) - but I can live without it :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] rodney.oliveira:
The rom is perfect in terms of speed, the tablet was stable and was usable again. my only problem and I will probably have to go back to stock rom, is in the microphone audio recognition, my wife uses the tablet for piano lessons and it simply stopped recognizing the notes after I switched to lineage, the piano needs to be with volume too high for the microphone to pick up the notes. any idea how to solve?

I still haven't returned to stock rom because I haven't found how to rsss.

Hi,

I also want to upgrade from LOS 18 to 19.

What do you mean by "update your firmware"?

Does this mean to flash latest stock radio image etc. before flashing LOS 19?

Any guide someone can link so I know what exactly has to be updated and how to do this without destroying my LOS?

Thanks.

What Parttions should I delete before flashing LOS 19 if I want to keep my apps and data from LOS 18?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] RagingHarry:
Didnt delete any on initial upgrade, but that was on 1st release, that needed a new build with proper vendor stuff.

So my upgrade failed and started right after full fresh, prepare for that always to not be sorry.

But update is updating plus flashing proper gapps if you have them installed

The following procedure worked for me:

- Flash AP/BL via Odin

- Clear Cache/Dalvik

So I have flashed the stripped-down version of the firmware.

I have followed the wiki (and indications here) to install LOS19 and GApps (MindTheGapps variant as recommended).

I have 2 problems:

The ASOP keyboard is bugged on the login screen: it's all gray and take nearly the full height of the screen without allowing to type anything in. Installing and switching to the google version solves the problem.

Some apps (including Netflix and Aurora Store) just crash. Many others (e.g. snapseed, google play, amazon prime video) don't crash.

I'm not to sure where to start to debug that though having had similar weird experience before, it is usually when something of importance has been removed from the OTA image: updates on working systems are still working but new installs are not.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] nostupidthing:
Stupid I forgot to turn on location service... But somehow it worked on los18..... Anyway whatever thx!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] Plop42:
So the crashes are caused by the same thing: all crashing programs were installed on an sdcard instead of internal storage.

So external storage integration does not work.

Currently getting an issue when flashing with magisk to a T727U, I'm getting this issue in crDroid but another user has the same issue in LOS as well.

Issue is once I install magisk my sensors and audio stop working, wiping system and reflashing doesn't bring it back, I have to flash the stock AP img in odin, then reflash TWRP and crDroid. Tried with both v24 and v25 magisk.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] pinsb:
OK.

There's now 15 pages of messages in this thread and firstly I'd like to thank the OP for all the hard work he's obviously put into this. I've skim read all the messages and without giving specific examples there's sometimes conflicting info without a clear resolution.

So, here is my situation.

I picked up a S5e 64GB LTE version yesterday at a very good price as I intend to use it as a streaming media device so the Amoled screen was important to me, I knew that it would only support A11 officially and this forum would be my most likely route to A12.

I do have A12 OUI 4.1 on a couple of Tab S6 tablets and honestly love the improved performance and items like the colour template, they make the whole user experience much improved. However using a Tab S6 for this project made no sense financially.

So, right now I have a S5e 64GB 5G, stock, latest build and security patches (1st Feb 22 from memory).

Is the performance on A12 much better than A11 on the S5e? It is far improved on the Tab S6, thus the question.

Is the colour template option a function of A12 or of O UI 4.1? If it's O UI 4.1 I suppose it's not implemented on either Lineage or crDroid?

Has the encryption of the internal storage issue actually been resolved as it's unclear from the thread.

Is the A12L implementation working properly as there were some comments about the bar not working properly.

I only have access to 'nix PCs so does Heimdell work or is it still an unknown?

Is there anything else that's a known 'Not Working' issue right now that means I should hold off and wait? As this unit is in testing at the moment it's no problem to wait as it's not my daily device and won't ever be.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] vpn560:
OK.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] starbright_:
Great ROM - no complains! Thanks so much @LuK1337 .

Use that for with microG included. No hassle with spoofing and no gapps required + anonymous Playstore access via Aurora. Anyhow, recommend FDroid store with just Free and OpenSource Software.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] pinsb:
No replies to my questions?

I'm surprised as it's usually so helpful here.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] TheTofu:
Personally I find performance to be much more consistent on LOS/crDroid, my S5e would run fine on oneui at first but frequently it would slow to an absolute crawl until I reboot and then it would be fine for a while again, which got very annoying when I use my tablet rather infrequently to just pick it up and have it not respond to almost anything. So far I haven't had the same issues on LOS based roms, but I've only had it installed for a couple weeks so far. Don't expect it to make the tablet feel like a Tab S8

A12 has color theming options, but they're different from OneUI, OneUI still has the more traditional "theme' system, whereas A12 has automatic color adapting based on background or you can manually select what colors you want.

Internal storage encryption is only an issue with TWRP, if you just put all your rom files onto an SD Card then it works fine.

Dunno about A12L or Heimdall, worst case you can spin up a windows VM or try WINE.

Only real issues I know of are Magisk issues and lack of HDR support; which was kind of an issue in OneUI as well, but in older versions could be tricked, but they removed it entirely in 4.1 it looks like, despite the screen being fully capable of HDR, not sure if there's some way to hack it back in.

And Magisk seems to break some things, at least on my SM-T727, when I install it I no longer have sensors or audio working and it requires a reflash back to stock to fix.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] phoenixfire42586:
The lack of HDR is a really bummer for me 😥

I looked for solutions and could not find any. I thought about going back to the stock rom because I really miss HDR content.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] pinsb:
@TheTofu

Thanks, that's a really comprehensive reply to my questions and much appreciated.

I suspect I'll be going the crDroid route then, but before that I'll have to find an SD card as I honestly can't remember the last time I used one (eeek!!).

Have a great weekend.

I lose audio in either Lineage or CrDroid when installing Magisk v25.1, but not of I keep it in v25.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] dimon222:
Ended up in bootloop initially for me. I had pattern password setup.

Spent last several hours digging for solutions and was able to find one to not lose the data and still "dirty" upgrade.

Here's hint for plebs like me:

A lot of custom modules are installing survival script in /system/addon.s/ to reexecute flash process after any dirty flashing of firmware. Unfortunately, these modules are not always compatible with major version upgrades of old LOS. In my case it was FlameGapps. Even dirty flashing new flamegapps on top didn't help to bypass flamegapps.

The solution that worked for me was to run Wipe not just for Dalvik/Cache, but also for "System" partition before flashing new LOS 19.1 (that would eliminate all such remnant survival scripts).

Extra note that might not be trivial for people who didn't read all the respective "questions" that were brought with Android 12 - the "Data" partition is encrypted, and recovery of TWRP/LOS can't decrypt it (it will show abracadabra filenames there if you decide to mount internal storage in TWRP mode). Its intended, not an issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] macallik:
Hmmm. I followed the following steps but for some reason it didn't take. My current version is still the unofficial 19.1 version (3/22 release). Any suggestions?
