I'm responding to you saying you'd need to check a FLAC file as if that would make a difference over a youtube video. Unless it was a super low samplerate you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a lossless format like FLAC and a lossy format like MP3 through crappy tablet speakers. Most people wouldn't be able to tell on high quality speakers in all honesty.

Besides, the main issue I was mentioning is that the speakers are much quieter. I can deal with a less full/rich sound. Lineage OS and Cyanogen before it have been known to have lower speaker output. I was hoping if I made a bit of noise on the topic it could be fixed.

Re AudioFX: I assume there would be a perceivable change if I were to boost individual frequencies in this app and toggle on/off? That doesn't happen for me.

This is the case for any and all audio, not specific sources. I think the "AKG Tuning" that Samsung refer to in their marketing for this tablet is referring to some kind of EQ curve they implemented to compensate for the cheap speakers. If I could get even a working EQ then this wouldn't be a problem as I could adjust it myself.

Keyboard is working on 2023-09-18 version. But it does not display a separate number row (if enabled in settings).
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] FoRealz:
Thanks! I don't really game but I have Alto's Adventure and it played fine for me. Maybe the occasional hitch/slowdown but nothing really to note.

Are there any instructions to return to stock if I ever sold / traded in? I didn't see any on the site. Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] SigmundDroid:
That still sounds broken to me ;) I think I better skip some updates...

Never really bothered about that, and why would I? By my experience I'd say that flashed devices usually catch higher prices being "degoogled", especially if abandoned by manufacturer (like here A11 vs A13).

Just occasionally I had to revert a samsung back to stock, did that with samsung KIES or smart switch.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] LuK1337:
I think you might go straight to stock, since this feature never worked on tablets anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] SigmundDroid:
Dang! My bad, you got me: That additional line of numbers is original samsung :oops:

Could have sworn I had seen it on LOS, too. Astonishing how having this little extra for a few days makes you forget everything :D
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] pocketrule:
You're right, I've seen that on LOS20, too...

I've got an unofficial build running on my Samsung Tab Pro:

lineage-20.0-20230527-UNOFFICIAL-mondrianwifi.zip (unfortunately no update since)

[ROM][T320][T325][Android 13] Unofficial LineageOS 20.0 Nightlies Tab Pro 8.4 Wifi/LTE (mondrianwifi/lte)

There I can use the separate number row.

Having seen it running on LOS20, it would be nice, if it could be enabled on the Tab S5e, too. But it's no dealbreaker. I can live without the number row and if needed urgently, I can try an additional keyboard.

Going back to stock is no option for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] LuK1337:
This device has screen density so low that keyboard app doesn't consider it a tablet.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] pocketrule:
Yes, it is a smaller device, but it is undoubtedly a tablet. And the resolution is the same: 1600x2560 pixels. I assume that the rom developer has made some changes to make the tablet look like a mobile phone. But as written above: I can live with it, I just wanted to mention it in case it could be easily solved.

Thanks for your extremely fast reply!

AOSP keyboard now with number row

Looks great, (almost) perfect, thank you!

I'd like to mention though, that now the alternative keys for the upper row q-p are still 1-0 which is not necessary anymore. The Keyboard for my other device has additional special characters ("{ } ~ | \ ÷ × [ ]") that could sometimes be useful, e.g. when entering passwords. (I'm wondering why one would place a backslash as an additional character on an android keyboard and forgetting the standard slash completely....). Maybe there is a (separate) layout for the AOSP keyboard with the additional number row already available (and easy to find) that could be just copied?

But this is more an observation than the question if you really want to fix it (I would be delighted, of course). You've realized my critical point, thanks again!

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] drmarble:
No. You can only eliminate those messages by going back to stock and relocking the bootloader. If you relock the bootloader with lineage installed you will be unable to boot.

My research indicates that this is possible (no, Odin+Windows is _not_ the only way!), but all descriptions I've seen so far are either confusing or contradictory.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] Mobe1969:
I didn't have to do a factory reset. I just updated the recovery to the 20 recovery per the instructions, then followed the instructions to sideload 20 with that upgrade process documented (https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/gts4lvwifi/upgrade).

The recovery update instructions are pretty confusing as they are just in the full install from factory instructions, so you have to figure what applies. I wasn't able to figure how to do it as I've done on my lineage phones (eg reboot into bootlader and fastboot flash recovery the recovery)

Has anybody tried Miracast (mirroring with no router needed) and HDMI video output on their S5e with this ROM? I don't mind losing DEX or any of the other Samsung features on this tablet, but Miracast would be missed. I purchased a Pixel last year thinking it would be everything my Note 20 Ultra was, and it turns out there's no HDMI output or Miracast available for it, so I've been relying on my S5e for that.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] PsiPhiDan:
Couple quick questions... contemplating using this ROM for the used S5e I just got for my son.

Is it accurate that the following will change, compared to stock?

-Smoother and quicker

-Better battery life

-Worse audio quality

-Lower resolution Netflix and I'll have to sideload the APK for it to work

Also, how's Lineage 20 at being a tablet OS? Someone said it felt like a giant phone rather than a tablet... do you lose multi window or split screen features? I'm not sure if those are native to Android or if it's a Samsung thing.

I just can't decide if I want to give him a stock tablet that feels older or a custom tablet with possible issues with him using apps and interacting with the tablet. But it's hard to find any information out there on this ROM! I'd love to see it being used on a tablet but I cannot find it anywhere.

Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] Merazomo:
Type "LineageOS 19.1 tablet 12L" on YouTube and that should be pretty much what you can expect. Me personally, I would not give a device with a Custom ROM to a child/relative if I wasn't going to be the one maintaining it, or if they weren't savvy enough to maintain it themselves. Smoother and quicker, better life, can change with a bug or a rouge app; my LG-V20 with a Custom ROM had a habit of doing this. Besides, I don't think processing power will improve drastically (gaming for example). As far as drm (widevine) implementation, maybe someone here can tell us if this ROM can bypass that. I was led to believe that only through root could you get that to work on some ROMs; which might cause other issues with specific apps that can detect root and don't like it.
