Not a true true solution but based on recommendations I installed OpenBoard as a replacement for AOSP default. I find it to be as good at least, better in many ways: it has a "split keyboard" option that puts a spacer down the center, making it easier for both thumbs to hit the keys rather than traveling all across the screen. It also allows for height percentage adjustment and other customizations.

I just upgraded to 19 from the last 18.1 and now the fingerprint reader is not working anymore. It behaves as if there is no sensor. I can see the old fingerprints in the settings but can't add new ones and the sensor just does nothing when trying to unlock.

I did not update AP and BL but I understood that this is not necessary anymore:

And another question: Is is possible to change the yellow/brownish color? I find it rather ugly...

Tried with recommended firmware from 18.1 thread and latest available by luk.

Lineage 19.0 works great, storage no problems.

But twrp doesn't ask for pin, so can't decrypt internal.

How to update version. I try dirty flash, but tablet keep restart and don't turn on.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] Brodelpiet:
I got both working on my S5E Wifi.

You have to use the latest Magisk Version 24.1. Activate Zygisk in the Settings, download the latest SafetyNet Fix for Zygisk from GitHub (https://github.com/kdrag0n/safetynet-fix/releases/tag/v2.2.1) and you need MagiskHidePropsConf (https://github.com/Magisk-Modules-Repo/MagiskHidePropsConf).

I've set my device keys to some Samsung ones via "adb shell" and then "props" and followed the wizard steps.

Got WideVine Level 1 with this ROM (full 1080p Support) and Passing all SafetyNet Tests (for now, i hope it will work for some time :D )

Hi all. I have never flashed Lineage, I am far from a coder! I have just bought a used Tab S5E. I REALLY can't stand the privacy invasion of both G apps and Samsung apps. I REALLY want to install Lineage (have used before but never installed myself) but the instructions look tricky to me. It also says you must use Windows. I have a mac, but I think i can borrow a laptop running Windows 7, if that would work?

Assuming it's beyond me, if anyone knows of any online tutorials covering some basic privacy settings to use (if leaving stock), and any ways to de-bloat the mountain of JUNK installed by Samsung and Google, please kindly drop me a link! Thanks

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] TheHobbster:
Hey, I haven't had the chance to flash my tablet yet (hasn't arrived yet :/ ) but I have successfully completed the process of LOS 19 on my S8+ & the steps appear pretty similar from my understanding (Hope this provides a few useful links and a jumping off point. The instructions are the best guide if somewhat technical. It was a bit daunting the first time for me as well & I encourage you to try, getting rid of all the spyware is worth it).

You might not necessarily need a windows machine to flash TWRP to start the install process, you might be able to use the Linux alternative Heimdall (from a brief search it appears to work on MacOS and seems easy enough to install, I have no idea if it works for this particular device and deffer to other peoples knowledge in this thread).

Before you start you want to make sure you have the compatible latest TWRP, this ROM (correct device codename) & a gapps package (or no gapps and use F-droid), &/or magisk (renaming the downloaded .apk to .zip) downloaded onto your PC & transferred to your tablet storage.

Once you have that ready:

Give yourself access to the developer settings (tap the build number 8/9? times in the settings menu) and then enable 'USB Debugging' setting.

Connect the tablet, approve the device for debugging

Get the device into download mode & open the terminal

Run something like 'heimdall flash --RECOVERY /path/to/twrp-YOUR-DEVICE-CODENAME.img' to flash TWRP as your recovery.

Boot into Recovery mode = TWRP, then format, wipe, install LOS19 ROM, install gapps & or magisk (I followed this video that explains it).

Then reboot & it should then start to load LOS!

Those were the steps I followed and managed to get my S8+ system up and running, I do not claim this will work exactly for your device & hope others in the thread can correct me if I am wrong. Wish you all the best trying to get this working & my praise to 'LuK1337' for maintaining the official version and working to port 19 :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] jiggerypokery:
Thank you very much for that reply. I am no longer with the relative but back there in a few weeks and may go with your advice and give it a whirl. In the end I used the pm disable command (mac terminal and ADB) to debloat by disabling just about every bit of spyware i could find. Lineage would still be a better option i think. I will let you know how I get on, thanks

Thanks for your hint. Now i have flashed stock Rom with SamFirm and used the "Samsung members" app. The diagnostics shows that everything is good, but the software-test shows an "unusual software modification". Assume it comes from the unlocked bootloader ?

With stock ROM i had also reboots, but they appeared far less often ( only two times after several hours usage ). I wonder, if the Samsung app can detect all hardware issues, like RAM and CPU ?

Is there anything I could try ?

Many thanks in advance !

It still does not seem better after reset to stock, Now the tab rebooted while not being used.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] vpn560:
For now staying in 18.1 I made sure that 3.7.0 can see my previous backups and performs new backup; during backup after saving Data it calculates 3 checksums instead of 1, may be because of new approach to deal with Data structure. That's all.

Upd. Closely looking into TWRP 3.7.0 Production List I concluded that Release for gts4lv and gts4lvwifi are absent in the list under 12.1 bookmark and thus are not suitable for LOS 19.1.

Dirty upgrade from 18.1 to 19.1 with TWRP 3.7.0 works fine with all apps and Data because Android 12.1 encryption starts AFTER first reboot into 19.1. After installing 19.1 need to reboot twice. Backup and restore and further updates via TWRP 3.7.0 are impossible for now because of 12.1 encryption.

Need to restore root flag in Mixplorer. Done.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] vpn560:
TWRP cannnot read internal memory because it's encrypted in the OTHER WAY than in LOS 18.1.

As in Installation guide, You have to format Data once; after formatting all the Data will be lost.

Please, answer, how did You detected the lost of Magisk root - by running Magisk app or some other way ? In the second case probably the other app just lost the root flag ?

To restore Magisk root You have to run Magisk app to patch LOS Recovery zip. Magisk app will construct hijacked boot img. That img needs to be fastbooted.

To save Data when migrating from 18.1 to 19.1 I use DIRTY upgrade via TWRP (3.6.2 or 3.7.0) without factory reset and without formatting Data (see post #392 at the previous page):

https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-official-gts4lv-gts4lvwifi-12-lineageos-19.4396111/post-87592647

Sadly that You didn't read it before formatting the Data.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] vpn560:
OTA requires LOS's Recovery to perform update, isn't it ?

When the new 19.1 update is found and downloaded by OTA and you push "install", warning appears, saying that you cannot use another Recovery than LOS's one. So before you run update, you must replace TWRP by LOS's Recovery.

On the other hand, how can TWRP perform any updates, when it cannot find its own directory in the internal memory, because it cannot decrypt encrypted directory names and file names and instead of normal names shows abracadabra ?

Sorry, but what You telling is very strange for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] vpn560:
In other words, do you install LOS 19.1 updates from external MicroSD via TWRP and call it OTA ?

With file manager You see decrypted after LOS booting internal memory. It is obvious. But now I better understand why dirty updates may be possible via TWRP as long as they do not affect the encrypted subdirectories, such as /data/data etc. Some sytem directories are normally displayed even with TWRP. I've seen it.

Seems that it is bold (in spite of red TWRP warnings) but dangerous and somewhat unpredictable way. 😏 Risk is a noble thing but for the time being.

Thank You for Your unexpected discovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] vpn560:
Each time rebooting to TWRP after 19.1 is installed I see red warning ~ "system is read only, will you change it to read/write ?"

OTA uses LineageOS Recovery which must be sideloaded prior to , so after missing root to use TWRP you have to sideload it instead of LOS Recovery, but You didn't mention that.

According to update procedure normal and the only way is to use LineageOS Recovery, not TWRP.

If LineageOS Recovery is installed, there is no need to change it to TWRP if you want to restore root. This is the root of my misunderstanding of Your explanation.

Thank You.
