The reason I write MUST is that not all TWRP from the official TWRP site work properly. For example, when I was initially building the 18.1 tree back in July/Aug 2021, I needed mtp and adbd to work in TWRP T710 for debugging purposes.

Despite the change log claiming both were fixed, not a single version worked wrt mtp and adbd. I knew this way back in Dec 2020 and you may have even seen my post #124 since you were post #122 and #126 in the same thread.

So in order to get 18.1 up and running, I fixed TWRP T710 myself as I explain at

https://xdaforums.com/t/recovery-unofficial-twrp-3-5-2_9-for-samsung-sm-t710.4430335/

So for T710 users, I know my TWRP build is rock solid as I have easily used it more than 150 times when making the 18.1 rom.

Another example. During the summer of 2020, I upgraded the OS on a Samsung S4 phone for my friend. I went to official TWRP website, downloaded the latest and much to my surprise, the touchscreen didn't work at all. I used an older TWRP version and it worked fine.

Bottom line: even though it's on the official TWRP website does not mean it's tested or working properly. In the case of the S4 TWRP with the non working touchscreen, it's obvious there was zero testing done.

That's why we will test ALL our 18.1 builds for the "what works" functionality in post #1 before uploading to the general public.

By sheer coincidence, I already had the above in my private build on March 27 as I wanted to test it to make sure it works before adding it into github. Yes, I test even 1 line of code change myself no matter how trivial.

The 1 line of code needed is documented at

https://review.lineageos.org/c/LineageOS/android_device_samsung_s3ve3g-common/+/292889

I will put this change into my github so that it gets built with the May 5 security patches.

My github repo has always had the S2 wifi blobs after @lpedia and I fixed it on Aug 7, 2021 as per

https://github.com/retiredtab/propr...mmit/3984c2ef6852794a939b8eda689fc477705d5c86

As you can see in my github history, that reversion back to S2 wifi has never changed since Aug 7, 2021.

Without looking through the 1000's lines of code or more, the above functionality exists probably in the hardware/samsung repo

https://github.com/LineageOS/android_hardware_samsung/tree/lineage-18.1/hidl/light

and the settings are probably saved in some directory, but the display menu for the button backlights isn't shown until I put in that one commit above. That is, the OS knows to use the saved settings, but without the menu overlay, it doesn't show the menu itself.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] bmwdroid:
Well I gotta admit I didn't check adb and mtp in that TWRP.

I probably saw your post but might not have paid attention as they referred to T710 and as I own T810 I judged them as not relevant for me.

That's what I've noticed as well for T325.

I just mentioned wifi functionallty for those users of T810 having problems with ripees ROM after version 20211103 and looking for a stable version regarding that feature.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] bmwdroid:
The settings seem to be in the file /data_mirror/data_de/null/0/org.lineageos.lineagesettings/databases/lineagesettings.db

When opening in DB Browser I found:

In table "secure" the lines

46 "button_backlight_timeout" (value 1000 [probaly for milliseconds as I set it to 1s in ripees ROM]) and

47 "button_brightness" (value 1.0).

In table "system" the line

47 "button_backlight_only_when_pressed" (value 1).

Never worked with .db files myself before but for the knowing it might be interesting if they want to fiddle around a bit.

New build called lineage-18.1-20220510-UNOFFICIAL-gts210wifi.zip

Yogi555 has tested all the functionality as to what works as per post #1 before uploading the build. Having said that, there's still a chance it won't work on your device due to human error, your configuration, your apps, etc. If it won't boot, always start with a complete wipe of everything and format your data. This is known has a clean install. Backup your data before a clean install.

May 10, 2022 release notes

1. YOU MUST read posts 1-4 if you haven't already

2. Added overlay for led capacitive led buttons as per https://github.com/retiredtab/andro...mmit/83551570e4627a0e353e358787f83aa65484b528

3. Incorporates May 5th security patches as per https://review.lineageos.org/q/topic:R_asb_2022-05

4. If you are upgrading from the April 10 build, you may dirty flash the May 10 build. If you are NOT coming from the April 10th, 2022 build, you MUST BACKUP your data because YOU MUST wipe dalvik/cache, cache, system, data and internal storage partitions in TWRP and FORMAT DATA. You cannot dirty flash at all. See FAQ Q11.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] bmwdroid:
@retiredtab just flashed it onto 20220410.

1st try very dirty (not wiping anything) resulting in bootloop.

2nd flash (after wiping system+caches) of ROM, Bitgapps28-arm, Magisk23 made it start.

Magisk had of course to patch boot.img again.

Thx very much.

Due to a post in the T710 regarding gapps, I will be removing opengapps from the FAQ because for several months now (starting around Oct 2021), the opengapps project has been releasing UNTESTED builds that results in bootloops or non working gapps services. Despite numerous requests/posts from the community to slow down the releases and actually TEST THEM BEFORE release, the latest May 3, 2022 shows there is still room for improvement.

This thread in the opengapps forum is just the latest example. Details of UNTESTED builds are also in the same megathread below.

https://xdaforums.com/t/...rsions-devices.3098071/page-367#post-86885091

It's also shown up in other roms like

https://xdaforums.com/t/...7-1-04-30-2022.3937956/page-100#post-86885353

This would be a good time for user to do their own research on which gapps is best for them or use NONE at all. I use Aurora Store myself.

Just a reminder that the builds we release are TESTED and verified to have all the functionality as listed in post #1.

I wanted to express my sincere thanks to @retiredtab and @Ipedia for your work on the ROMs for the T710 and T810. I have both devices and had previously used the @ripee versions in thread (2) [ROM][UNOFFICIAL][11] LineageOS 18.1 [T710][T715][T715Y][T810][T815][T815Y] | XDA Forums (xda-developers.com). But that 18.1 version had some noticeable bugs and wasn’t being maintained.

Thanks to @bmwdroid ’s April 15 post directing us to this forum, I have been experimenting with this ROM since then on both the T710 and the T810. Based on my pretty heavy usage, I can declare both to be excellent. Most notably, the WiFi is rock solid. The T810 and the T710 (especially) are outstanding hardware, and being able to run Android 11 is a huge boost in the device’s intrinsic value.

I have experienced a couple of random BSOD-equivalent crashes over the past month, but the tablet always immediately restarted. I am going to try and learn how to provide the necessary to the developers so, if it happens again, they can have the necessary evidence. Since I am a decent techie, but not a developer, I decided to write up the complete upgrade procedure I followed so others who come to this forum may benefit. See my next post.

PS: I put this post on both the T710 and the T810 threads since I have both devices.

Hi just a question regarding Q5

A5. You MUST use TWRP 3.5.2_9.

Is there a reason for this! I'm only asking because I have 3.6.0.9-0 installed so just wondered why its a must.

Edit - ignore the message above I didn't see post 9 when reading this on my tablet but do now I am on PC.

Had this running now for the last 5 hours, everything seems to be fine but I'm seeing very slow WiFi speeds. Coming straight from (lineage-18.1-20211103-UNOFFICIAL-gts210wifi) where I was getting a constant speed over 330mb I'm now only getting 110 dropping down to 70 at best.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] metterschling:
@retiredtab Maybe just a wild guess, but might this commit be related? In my understanding argosd is a daemon that controls the CPU governor so that CPU performance can be adopted to network bandwith requirements. Shouldn't that be activated for Wifi models as well?

I don't know if flashing it to the AT&T or open market version rom would do the trick but probably would. Note, since it's refurbished you sure it wasn't already reflashed to the open market version rom? If so it should work!

AT&T might have gotten confused by your description...

AT&T whitelisted phones:

View attachment 5585363
[LG V40 Questions & Answers] AsItLies:
My understanding, and it could be outdated, but maybe not, but at&t (supposedly) checks imei, and if it's not one of their phones, there's nothing you can do to make it work. From your description, it *sounds* like they are still doing this.

For VoWifi to work, with my mint mobile sim at least, you have to go to your mint account and turn on VoWifi ability. So not only does the phone need to be capable, the sim needs to be provisioned for it. Many people overlook this part.

There are numerous indicators of VoLTE working. Many times when you bring up the dialer there's a little HD symbol on the talk button. Other times it will give you a little LTE symbol on the status bar when making a call (and it doesn't change to 3G during call), etc.

The VoLTE situation is where 'what rom are u running?' becomes very important. The lte bands that the rom is capable of need to coincide with the carrier you want to use. The 'Open US' roms have the most bands available, and is usually a great choice for T-MO (and mvno of t-mo). Even has band 71 (which is only used by t-mo).

Lastly, for those that may not be aware, after market roms, like lineage, aren't capable of VoLTE (or VoWifi), for most LG phones. that's because LG (and Sammy) both use a 'proprietary' IMS stack, which means those Vo technologies only work on their phones with their roms.
[LG V40 Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
AT&T doesn't care about who's phone it was as long it's imei isn't blacklisted.

What is important is the hardware which can't be changed or the firmware which can be changed.

My guess is the issue is the former. The carrier variant phones can have slightly different hardware configurations.
[LG V40 Questions & Answers] wantpizza:
Thanks gang for the notes.

I'm running stock rom. I'm not rooted nor bootloader unlocked. I'm a bit resistant as this is my daily driver phone plus there doesn't seem to be clear confirmation that cross flashing something will really result in better performance. Add to that I won't be able to reinstall whatsapp nor my banking app etc - since my home country sim and phone number (Colombia) won't receive a confirmation text until I return there in October. Tough situation.

But I've got more test results

@AsItLies - thanks for that - I was able to enable wifi calling in the Mint app. I also called consumer cellular to confirm that my sim had volte and wifi calling enabled on their end. This was all done before testing below.

I found some exciting new settings inside the hidden menu.

Dialing *#546368#*405# choosing: Field test / GPRI VoLTE+VoWifi / IMS / Slot 0

VoLTE was enabled (possibly from steps done above in my first poat?) But I was also able to enable VoWifi ViWifi and ViLTE. I enabled them all.

After making that change I dialed the Testing menu - *#*#4636#*#* - Wifi calling Provisioned and Video calling Provisioned are still greyed out in the off position. VoLTE Provisioned is still on.

Testing - I can make a call using a Consumer cellular (At&t mvno) sim. I can not get cell data during the call though- same results as with my Mint mobile (T-mobile) sim.

I was told that At&t has already shut down all 3G calling so my phone MUST be using VoLTE if the call worked?

I have read unconfirmed reports that not all 3G calling has been shut down since some of the cell towers have not been upgraded yet... so could be I just get lucky.

My wife's phone can make calls with either sim AND get cell data during the call. (so does that prove that the nearest tower must already be upgraded?)

My wife's phone has nice symbols and setting sliders for wifi calling and volte calling - all enabled

I tried running tests with airplane mode on and wifi enabled - but it wont make a call that way on my phone or the wife's phone.

So basically it seems like nothing has changed. I'm still not convinced that I will have a working phone in July ish... Any more tips on testing and verifying that are appreciated.
[LG V40 Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
It's likely running on 4G VoLTE.

This is how my Note 10+ is configured, no changes were needed.

[LG V40 Questions & Answers] wantpizza:
@blackhawk - My screen looks very similar.

My preferred network type is set to - GSM/WCDMA/LTE (PRL).

I am not sure if that was the default or if I fiddled with that... I am going to dink around with that and see if changing that solves my problem. But

But I did some more testing. I was away from the house at the grocery store. I dialed my phone with Mint Mobile sim in and my 4G symbol changed to 3G and the call went through. I did have data during that time - but painfully slow.

Grabbed the wife's Xiamoi phone with her Consume Cellular (AT&T Mvno sim). Dialed and the 4G symbol stayed on and she had data of a reasonable speed.

So - I am believing... not proof... that my phone is still dropping to 3G to make calls and is skating away on the still operating 3G system of T-Mobile. Evidence that I might be without calling in July.

I should test the reverse - and pop the sim out of the wife's phone and try my phone with an AT&T sim and see if I had no calling service.... but she doesn't really like when I pop open her phone in the grocery store. She puts up with a lot - but I didn't have any "geek credits" in the bank so I will have to plan for that later...

Anyway - that is the latest.
[LG V40 Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Set it to that setting I'm using.

Clear Sim toolkit data.

Network reset and a reset on AT&T's side too.

[LG V40 Questions & Answers] wantpizza:
@blackhawk - thanks. I have an AT&T sim to fiddle with now (Straight talk this time).

AT&T only gives me 1 bar here in my house.

It seems no matter when I chose as my Preferred network type - I get

Out of service area / Mobile network is unavailable

SIM not provisioned for voice

But I don't have a SIM toolbox on this phone. Can I get that installed without root? Can you point me in that direction. Because maybe that is what I need to do next is clear that - especially since I keep popping in random sim cards.

Thanks again
[LG V40 Questions & Answers] wantpizza:
Oh - skip that - brain dead. I got the sim toolkit cleared...

On with the testing!
[LG V40 Questions & Answers] wantpizza:
Did some testing again with my Mint SIM - i get 4 bars here...

Did you know that you can have the dialer, Testing menu and Sim Toolkit settings page open/split screen or background screens at the same time? Well that saves some time... By the way the HiddenMenu won't stay open as a background page... Just so you know.

So here is my testing sequence: Wifi switched off. Dial the local automated weather number and then switching to the Testing menu to watch the reported "Voice Network Type" . Record results. Enable Airplane mode. Got to Sim Toolbox and clear data. Disable Airplane mode and try a new "Voice Network Type".

Basically all of the settings for "Set preferred network type:" that include UMTS or GSM will work. But the Voice type drops to GSM or UMTS. Data drops to UMTS , HSPAP or sometimes EDGE. 5 seconds after the call ends the Phone Info page reports "Voice Network Type" and "Data Network Type" as LTE.

Any settings like LTE Only or something that doesn't include UMTS in it - the calls just fail. Actually - if the "GSM Service" inside Testing Menu/Phone Info reported "Emergency Calls Only" under "GSM Service" - then you can bet the call failed. Despite really wanting to do complete testing - I did not dial 911 to see if it would work. Just seemed wrong to potentially interrupt a real emergency - even in nowhere USA.

I found some more interesting settings inside HiddenMenu / IMS Setting / GPRI VoLTE / Slot - 0 / Roaming

Inside there are VoLTE and VoWifi - I enabled all the roaming options inside each.

But - alas no change to my tests so far.

I tested the Wife's phone on Straight talk and the Mint sim = VoLTE symbol

So that is one AT&T and one T-Mobile MVNO

Preferred Network Type: LTE/TD-SCDMA/UMTS

Worked great. Testing page showed that the voice call stayed on LTE. I enabled Wifi and tried getting it to transfer to a VoWifi call but - even with 1 bar it wouldn't go. If you have 0 bars it won't initiate a call. Probably a security thing as they don't know if you are a real subscriber??

Anyway - I think that proves?? that my phone is still not doing any VoLTE nor VoWifi calling and will likely fail or have extreme problems as the 3G network fades away.
[LG V40 Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
On my N10+ the hidden menu stays open until I close it. Makes things easier.

Get the carrier advanced tech support to troubleshoot it if possible. You probably know more about than me at this point.

I can highly recommend a Note 10+ N975U1, they run great on Android 9 or 10; Android 11 and especially 12 not so much so. I have two, just bought another new one about 5 months ago.

It's a better flagship Samsung than the ones Samsung released after it in my opinion.

New factory sealed ones are available still for $800 and used ones in "excellent" condition for half of that. In a good case they will easily last 3+ years with only battery replacements. The one in my hand is 2.5 yo and looks/runs like new with zero display degradation. It's heavily used. Current OS load will be 2 yo in June, still fast and stable with minimal maintenance. Supports up to 1tb expandable storage.

Both the N975U (AT&T variant) and the N975U1 (unlocked) run seamlessly on AT&T. There's a 5G variant but it will likely eat more battery.

It's display is one of the best, maybe the best in any smartphone even today It's gorgeous with an exceptional color rendering index and white point. Being 60hz means less power consumption and better color rendering/calibration, great for vids.

It's just a snappy fast fun work horse of a phone that has excellent build quality.

Lately Samsung and Google Android have been subpar... dropping balls.
[LG V40 Questions & Answers] wantpizza:
That is a smoking fast phone! I may have to give this phone up and move on. But that has issues of it's own as I will still have to keep this phone around because there are a bunch of apps I won't be able to install on a new phone because I can't get my sms confirmation until I get back to South America. But not a whole lot of other options.

Thanks again,
[LG V40 Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
You're welcome.

It's a true pain migrating to a new device. I hope you get that one successfully running on VoLTE.

If you like that large of a display, it's form factor is still the best. Better display to bevel ratio too. Lighter and thinner the S22U with better SOT.

Watch this vid where the N10+ literally smokes the S22U after both rams get loaded up with apps. wtf? I'll take the dinosaur Note...

Hi,

I was following this amazing guide about debloat your phone https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/ and um I removed some system apps. stuff like xclub and xclone and xaccounts (mostly by infinix) and carlcare and phone master plus some google apps like google play and google play servers and google maps

Now after this, I noticed when I go to system updates and click 'online update' nothing happens like it's broken. usually it leads me to system update application (which is still installed btw) but that do not happen so I'm little unsure which app I removed caused or broke my phone update functionality. so if you could help me determine which package actually I removed caused this or a way to fix it without hard reset and uninstall and reinstall applications again.
