[Galaxy Tab S2 Android Development] retiredtab:
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.

This is ONLY for the SM-T713. I do not have and will NOT build T719 and T819. See post #2, FAQ 20. Any questions asking to build these will be ignored.

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.

Known issues/What doesn't work/what's not tested

NOTE: If any following features are important to you, don't use this rom as I will not be fixing them because I

i. don't use/need that feature

ii. already tried fixing it and couldn't succeed and won't spend anymore time on it.

1. Stock camera doesn't work at all (reason i and ii). Opencamera version 1.52 works for taking pictures and videos BUT with a 10 to 15 second delay when switching between functions.

I have not tested any video conferencing apps so they may or may not work. If they don't work, revert back to old rom as I will not be spending anytime trying to fix/troubleshoot.

2. fingerprint (reason i). I never use it and I see it doesn't even load correctly in the logs.

3. ARM64 gapps (reason i). 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 ARM64 gapps.

There are various gapps projects (at least 5 in 2023). 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/days doing your own research. My rom works by itself fine without gapps. DO NOT talk about gapps in this thread. As a courtesy to gapps users, I have opened a new thread at

https://xdaforums.com/t/msm8976-which-gapps-to-use-discussion-for-18-1-rom-sm-t813.4540423

so you may discuss gapps. I will NOT be participating in that thread as I do NOT use gapps.

4. disk encryption (reason i). Never tested.

5. If you restart the device with the purpose to reboot it and the usb cable is plugged in, the device will not reboot and stay in charging mode. Simply unplug the usb cable, wait 15 seconds and restart the device.

6. Random reboots. If you're getting random reboots with battery level at 50% or lower, it's highly likely that your original battery does not have enough amps and is worn out/degraded. There's nothing I can do about this. You need to replace your battery.

Source code

All the source code including the kernel is provided in post #2 FAQ1.

Thanks

1. LineageOS team for source code.

The rest in alphabetical order.

2. @Deltadroid for updating the msm8976 kernel for branches 14.1 and 16.0 with bug and security fixes. I'm using his 16.0 branch.

3. @lifehackerhansol for suggesting that I kang the pm-* proprietary blobs from another rom and making suggestions for possible fixes to the camera.

4. Team Infusion Developers github.

5. @thefanum for donating a SM-T713 for development purposes. Thank you. I appreciate it.
