This ROM is ONLY for SM-T560NU, NOT SM-T560. I CANNOT and WILL NOT make a SM-T560/SM-T561 build as they are different CPU/SoCs.

PLEASE BEFORE YOU decide to try this rom, you MUST read all of post 1, 2, 3 and 4 (about 10 minute read). If you think this is an unreasonable request, then stop reading now and find another rom. Thank you.

I am not responsible for lost data, identity theft, lost money, security vulnerabilities, bricked devices or any other hardware or software malfunctions that comes as a result of flashing this rom.

BACKUP YOUR DATA AND OLD rom BEFORE trying my rom.

If you are NOT an expert in using fastboot, adb, odin, heimdall, twrp, DO NOT use this rom. You must know how to use these tools to revert back to your old rom. If you are new to flashing custom roms, do NOT attempt this. If you need your tablet for work and something important, do NOT flash this rom. This rom could result in a bricked device or boot loop or non booting device or you not being able to revert back to your old rom.

What works

1. bluetooth

2. wifi

3. brightness

4. external audio

5. GPS

6. audio through headphone jack

7. audio over bluetooth

8. camera

9. selinux enforcing

10. DRM L3

11. deep sleep

What doesn't work/What isn't tested

1. gapps. Some of you require gapps for whatever reason. I use Aurora Store for my purposes and thus have NO KNOWLEDGE of the current state of gapps.

There are various gapps projects (at least 5 in 2022). Each has pros and cons. It's your job to do the research and find a suitable gapps project. I suggest you allocate at least a couple of hours doing your own research. My rom works by itself fine without gapps. DO NOT talk about gapps in this thread.

2. full disk encryption has been deprecated in Android 13 (LineageOS 20).

I have multiple devices that I purchased used and most of them run 20 (my own builds that I share) or other 20 builds made by others and I've never seen this happen. I've also never seen it happen on non 20 builds (i.e. 16.0, 17.1, 18.1, 19.1, etc).

The only time I've heard of a device that is shutdown is because the OS is crashing over night continuously and the battery is at 0% the next morning. Since your battery is mostly full, I don't know what's happening then.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab E  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] 4XLoqT4:
made a new account to say...thanks for maintaining this! i haven't flashed any sort of ROM in a decade, kinda forgot about this part of life until i heard the waveform podcast do a deep dive on cyanogenmod and it unlocked a bunch of memories. found this old tablet in a drawer recently, and thought i'd hop back on xda-forums for the first time in probably 10 years.

works great! i'm going to post all my steps here for any other newbies, or anyone else who has been away from this scene for a long time.

- get samsung odin and the samsung odin USB drivers.

- connect tablet to PC. enable the file transfer on your tablet. enable developer options, enable USB debugging and the option to override boot.

- transfer over the ROM to the SD card. i also followed the lineage 14 step and moved this "soft key override" keys.zip, although i have no idea if that's actually necessary. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ddSB28g1xTd0J7sl8V6QmlPZA1aX77ot/view

- with the tablet still connected to PC, shut down tablet and then put tablet in download mode (vol down, power, and main button)

- launch odin on your PC. flash the TWRP version linked in post 2, Q5/A5 on the AP slot and leave the rest of the slots unchecked. people say to turn off auto-reboot but i've found it doesn't really make a difference. either way you need to let the tablet boot up in regular mode so that you can shut it down again and then boot into recovery mode (which will now be handled by TWRP).

- after it's shut down, boot into recovery (vol UP, power, and main button). wipe -> advanced wipe -> everything except SD card. do NOT restart, just go back to the main page in TWRP and choose install.

- switch over to your SD card for storage, choose the lineage ROM, add more zips, add the keys.zip, install. you don't have to do any boot or recovery imgs, it seems the main lineage zip takes care of this.

- restart and that's it.

i looked into adding gapps, and found that mind the gapps has a "lineage20/android 13" that worked....but it made my tablet insanely slow again, might as well have been full of samsung bloatware. so now i'm back on JUST lineage 20, going to keep google away from this tablet.

thank you OP!

hello, few questions

can this firmware support more than 1.5GB RAM in T560NU ? i mod device to 4GB

if yes can you tell which files need changes to allow for more RAM ?

is it possible to mod and repack official samsung firmware or there is signature enforcment or something like that preventing the mod?
