I don't use Chrome, but I suspect Google apps REQUIRES that gapps/Google playstore be installed in order to work.

Aurora Store does NOT do any dependency checks when you download an app. That is, if you download Google Maps (via Aurora Store) and since this Map app REQUIRES gapps/Google play store, Aurora Store will NOT tell you that gapps/Google playstore is a requirement.

For Android, I currently use DuckDuckGo, but have used Brave in the past with no problems.

PS. Some other apps also REQUIRES gapps/Google play store in order to work. I avoid all those that do.

I know google apps requires gapps mate but I have been having so many problems with my tablet over the last few weeks. It was crashing all the time every time I opened any app the main culprit being Chrome. So I did a full clean install 2 days ago with the latest version of Lineage you shared and it stopped all the crashing.

Though when installing Lineage and gapps, gapps wouldn't install it kept coming up with Error 1 and wouldn't install this is why I wanted to give Aurora a try. When I installed Aurora and you go to the download Chrome it does download but will not install this telling me it's not compatible with Aurora.

I have tried installing mindthegaps and nikapps with this version of Lineage and none will install both Error 1.

Did it say anything else apart from "Error 1"?

Did you try rebooting to recovery after flashing the ROM, before trying to flash the gapps?

Yogi555 has built and I have personally tested this build to boot and function as described in post #1. 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 in TWRP. This is known has a clean install. Backup your data before a clean install.

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

2. Incorporates Apr 5th security patches as per https://review.lineageos.org/q/topic:"T_asb_2024-04"

3. Incorporates Mar 5th security patches as per https://review.lineageos.org/q/topic:"T_asb_2024-03"

4. We had intentions to release a March build last month, but ran into some testing and logistical issues. These have been resolved now.

I added this info to post #1.

8. Memory leak with Chromium based browsers. If you run a Chromium based browser like Chrome, Brave, Microsoft Edge, etc and open, close, open, close the browser app, there will be a memory leak of 30MB to 50MB each time. You can see this using adb below.

# open up a terminal/command prompt on your PC
adb root
adb shell
ps -A | grep -i zygote
# example output
$ adb root ; adb shell ps -A | grep -i zygote
adbd is already running as root
root 304 1 1733448 97000 poll_schedule_timeout b1fcd238 S zygote
webview_zygote 745 304 1749936 50592 poll_schedule_timeout b1fcd238 S webview_zygote

u0_a121 3405 304 1758944 49756 __skb_recv_datagram b1fccc10 S com.brave.browser_zygote

Over a period of 20+ days, this memory leak causes free memory to decrease and can lead to slower performance.

If you have root, you can kill these processes or simply reboot the OS to reclaim the memory. Firefox based browsers do NOT have this problem. In addition, the built in Webview engine does NOT have this problem. I use DuckDuckGo + Webview engine and there is NO memory leak.

Hi everyone. I have installed this rom on Galaxy Tab S2 Exynos. I have a problem with gapps. After installing NikGapps-core i have a screen turning off randomly. I was using tablet for 2 hours after install and suddenly black screen. It looks like this rom turns screen off because when i press button to turn it on i can see everything again. I log in and use it and same problem again..... Clean install. I use TWRP from this link : https://eu.dl.twrp.me/gts210wifi/ - newest version which is : twrp-3.7.0_9-0-gts210wifi.img . I tried different versions of NikGapps but it looks they only have ARM64 version of GAPPS not ARM which my tablet uses. Do you know where to get ARM version of GAPPS for this ROM? Because this might be a problem that i use ARM64 GAPPS instead of ARM. But i could not find ARM. OpenGapps have ARM but for Android 11 not 13.Tx

Successfully installed this on my SM-T810. I'm surprised by how decently it runs, and it absolutely breathes new life into this old tablet.

It turns out that you can also just install microG via Magisk. I don't know if that's from the change made in LineageOS as a whole or if this particular ROM supports signature spoofing, but it's something worth noting if you don't want Gapps.

I used "microG installer revived" by nift4 on GitHub; obviously, do this at your own risk, and it requires Magisk.

[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] kartik_09:
For raw performance, los 18 might be a bit better in a negligible form, but LOS 20 feels a lot more fluid on t815, i just flashed this t810 rom and it was even more fluid than the test build for t815 los20, and yes u really notice that fluidity, also on stock LOS 18.1 and 20, idle drain on 20 seems a bit lower compared to 18.1

My tablet has been steady for a while been using version lineage-20.0-20240415-UNOFFICIAL-gts210wifi.zip but thought I would give this new version a try, wish I didn't had nothing but trouble.

I did a clean wipe/format and installed the below

lineage-20.0-20240518-UNOFFICIAL-gts210wifi

Magisk-v27.0 (tried it without Magisk and still have the same problem) I need this because I have problems getting into recovery mode.

com.aurora.store_58.apk

Quick Reboot (Eyüp Can Yılmaz) (again tried it without)

Now once the system is up and I try to open anything it either freezes/ shuts down or freezes gives me a blank screen and the 3 home pad buttons light up or it reboots the device. I haven't reverted back to version lineage-20.0-20240415 yet I need to know what's going on with these random issues.

I have forgot how to set up error logs in twrp can someone please explain on where I do this please?

Don't bother with my problem my tab s2 went to tablet heaven last night.

I couldn't get into the tablet at all it was constantly shutting down every time I opened something so couldn't get to use quick reboot to get into recovery mode (not been able via the button method for quite some time).

So after what felt like 60 or so shut downs the screen went blank and started flickering so no more screen.

It's done me since release date, got it a few days before my birthday. It suffered from USB port issue 5 days before the warranty run out which was fixed and worked ever since so it lasted much longer than expected.

The wife purchased the T815 again USB port issue started with that one 3 years into service. I got it out last night and its as dead as a dodo battery charge light will come on but it won't charge. I could get it fixed but might as well pay for a new tablet just no idea which one to buy.

Any recommendations? £300 budget (no Apple crap) prefer Android.

Cheers
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] bmwdroid:
Sorry for your loss.

I hope long time connection revives the battery of the T815.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] lojelo:
I tried charging it last night for well over 6 hours it moved nowhere. I've had it charging now for 2 hours using my Sony USB cable and Samsung charger and its actually on 80% so its looking good. If it works I will try and get the USB board replaced its finding someone who can do it where I live. It would be cheaper than buying a new one.

Though I've just been looking at the new Poco Pad it looks pretty good for £300.

It fully charged but good job I checked what tab 2 is was it's actually the T813 still on Android 7 looks like a root is needed.

Hello,

I have a OnePlus 7T Pro (codename "hotdog") that is currently in a non-working state. My goal flash my magisk boot.img which I created, however I accidentally locked the bootloader. Unfortunately, I'm currently stuck and unable to progress.

Here is what I've tried:

I attempted to unlock the bootloader via fastboot with fastboot oem unlock, but received a FAILED (remote: Flashing Unlock is not allowed) message. I understand this usually means the OEM Unlocking option in the Developer Options isn't enabled.

The problem is that I can't access the Android OS on the device to enable OEM Unlocking. The device boots directly into Fastboot Mode and I can't navigate anywhere else.

I tried to flash the stock firmware, but I received an error message stating FAILED (remote: Flashing is not allowed in Lock State). This indicates that I can't flash files to the device while the bootloader is locked.

In short, I can't unlock the bootloader because I can't enable OEM Unlocking, and I can't flash the stock firmware because the bootloader is locked. I'm stuck in a loop and unsure how to proceed.

Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated! I'm open to all suggestions and willing to provide additional details if necessary. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

At last count there were 5 gapps projects and they are in various states of "working" wrt to 20. It's your responsibility to put in some hours of research to find out what gapps works for you.

All I can say is that some testers report that NikGapps 13 arm64 core work. Despite the arm64 name, that version WILL work on exynos5433. Core is the smallest one in terms of resource usage and the one you should use.

The system boards in these devices have 32-bit memory channels, so they're not full 64-bit systems; the processors can therefore only directly access 32-bit memory space.

This doesn't prevent them from running 64-bit code, so the suggestion elsewhere that the Tab S2s need arm (ie, 32-bit) gapps packages is incorrect.

The exact version is given as to what works. You don't NEED the latest version because Google Play will update itself silently in the background when it checks for updates. Sometimes the "latest" version doesn't work and going back to an earlier version does.

Since I don't use gapps, I will NEVER write any guides on which to use. Also, as I stated in the which gapps to use discussion, "It's your responsibility to put in some hours of research to find out what gapps works for you."

Even if I used gapps, I'm not going to test each and every project and release to make sure it works with exynos5433. Some projects are better than others, some are completely UNTESTED, some have well written documentation if users bother to read them. Some "popular" gapps projects are completely abandoned and just because it's popular doesn't mean it's good either or tested."
