I think he means that AOSIP has moved on to Android 10, so there aren't any Pie-related changes to port. If so, the real question is whether there will be an AOSIP 10 port for the T813. Given that the LineageOS maintainer has stopped supporting this tablet, AOSIP might be our only chance of...

I had the same problem with WiFi Analyzer, which I had restored using Titanium Backup. However, uninstalling and reinstalling fixed the problem for me. Assuming that this was a permission problem, with the app having stored somewhere that it had already obtained the required permissions, turning...

Same thing used to happen to me, too, when I was running OmniROM 8.1. To reboot into system, I had to unplug the tablet before rebooting. I am now running LineageOS 16, which does not exhibit this behavior; I don't know if this was a problem with Oreo or with OmniROM.

Same thing happened here. After selecting an app for installation, the Play Store seemed to be stuck during downloading. I rebooted, and I saw in the notification area that the download had started, and soon after that it completed. I recompiled and reinstalled the substratum theme I'm using...

Could it be something simple, like GPS being turned off in the settings? Check Security & location -> Location. It should be set to On, and the Mode should be set to High accuracy or Device only. If it is set to Off (obviously), or the Mode is Battery saving, GPS is turned off.

Last week, I finally took the plunge and decided to move away from the stock ROM. I briefly tried LOS, then yesterday I tried OmniROM. LOS was OK, but OmniROM seems a lot more polished, and seems to have a smaller drain on the battery; I'll be staying with OmniROM! I'd like to ask a question...

From which we learn that Samsung has started rolling out Nougat for the T813. (Seems to be available only for Germany, right now.) According to www.sammobile.com, the Nougat version has a PDA/CSC version (whatever that is) of T813XXU2BQD1/T813OXA2BQD1, while the (now older) Hong Kong/Taiwan...

If I understand this correctly, this method will only update some critical blobs, leaving the rest of the system intact, so as long as the tablet was already running Lineage OS, and the newer version is flashed immediately afterwards, the net effect will be that of an off the air update, with...

Fair enough, but I was asking about newer firmware, i.e., versions that will be released in the near future, such as periodic updates or the promised Nougat update. Right now, the HK version is the most recent one, but as the tablet is still supported, and updates are expected, shouldn't the...

Combining this with your previous statement about not flashing system and cache, I think I now understand what you meant, but I'm not going to try it or even describe what I understood, as it's not worth the risk. Given that I'd like to see how Samsung's version of Nougat will look like, before...

Thanks for the prompt reply. However, the above information is not something trivial, that can stay hidden in a random post in this thread, that nobody is going to notice after a couple of weeks, when it gets buried by follow-up posts. It really needs to be at the very beginning of this thread...

Would you care to elaborate on this? What is "updato"? Is "sammobile" www.sammobile.com? They have all sorts of firmware over there, and T813ZSS2AQB1/T813OZS2AQB1 seems to be the Hong Kong and the (different?) Taiwan version. Is that really required, or do you mean that the tablet firmware...

Search google for restoring the tablet to stock. Better still, search this thread or the KatKiss thread (I forget which) for links to instructions, which seem much better than the ones I found and followed. Note that restoring to stock involves reformatting all partitions, so back up your data...

Oops! And to think that Tim stressed that we should do this, and that this was the last thing I read in this thread, before upgrading! I reinstalled SuperSU, and layers manager now works. Thanks for pointing this out!

Layers manager hangs on #025 After updating (dirty flash) to #025, I tried installing my favorite theme using layers manager, but the application hangs on a blank screen when it starts. I tried downgrading layers manager to a couple previous versions, just to make sure that a recent upgrade...

Two issues that may have been fixed I think that two issues, related to installatation, may have been fixed or can be worked around. As verifying this requires clean flashing and/or someone more knowledgeable than myself, I thought I'd mention what I've found, to get the opinion of those more...

I used open gapps pico 03/25. I left the tablet unattended after reboot, to complete the upgrade to 023. When I came back, I found it in what seems to be good working order. Have they fixed the problem with gapps, or did the "setup wizard" dialog close by itself, leaving my tablet with a...

Keep the "volume down" and "power" butons pressed together, until you get visual feedback that a snapshot has been taken. You'll find the snapshot in the Pictures/Screenshots folder.

The app is still installed on my tablet, so I guess I'm fine.

SuperSU 2.65 Today my tablet updated to SuperSU 2.65, and I was also asked to update the su binary. (I was offered a normal update option and to try and update using TWRP; I chose the former, and it succeeded.) I don't seem to have lost su functionality, but was this something I should have...

I was under the impression that they'd updated f2fs, but, looking at the changelog, I see that they've only updated exfat. Thus, I've switched back to 2.8.7.2, because if I need to reformat /data, my tablet may not be in a state where updating TWRP will be trivial!

TWRP 3.0.0 This is a quick note to mention that I just used TWRP 3.0.0 to dirty flash #022, without any problems.

Oddly enough, I noticed the exact opposite: I some times record my route using Google MyTracks. Last time I tried it, I was using KatKiss Lollipop and, even with KatApp to speed GPS syncing, MyTracks would start recording only after I'd walked for a few blocks. With MarshMallow #015 (again using...

Problem with exFAT I tried to use exFAT on my external SD card with #016, but this proved to be impossible, despite the addition of exFAT support. I formatted the card on Linux using mkfs.exfat, then inserted it into the tablet. The system recognized it as a new SD card and gave me the option...

I've seen this behavior a couple of times. Usually the network just connects. I think that I've only noticed this at work, where I don't connect very frequently, so it might be access point related; Microtik router at work vs. ZTE ADSL modem/router at home.

Obviously my question was not whether updating games breaks them, but whether the two particular games that I mentioned (especially Temple Run 2, where the problem is immediately evident) have problems with this particular ROM after their latest update, which might indicate that there might be a...

Problem with 3D? A couple of games, that I play, were updated today, and both display similar problems: In Temple Run 2, most of the game appears in black, with only the background showing, making the game impossible to play. In Subway Surfers, the character of Buddy the snowman appears as a...

Answering my own questions: I haven't seen an answer to this one, but as I got a "thank you" from Tim for a post where I wrote that "as mentioned in the first post in the main thread, NTFS & Exfat support have not been implemented yet", I assume that this statement is correct, and that...

Does the TF300T support SD cards larger than 32 GB? I was under the impression that it doesn't. Or is that a limit only with FAT32?

As mentioned in the first post in the main thread, NTFS & Exfat support have not been implemented yet. If you insert an SD card with these file systems, the system will tell you that the file system is not supported, and will offer to format the card either for data transfer or as internal...

I just installed #7, upgrading from KatKiss 5. Most of my time was spent taking all sorts of backups, most of which were ultimately unnecessary, as the upgrade went pretty smoothly, without any problems. Even the first boot didn't take that long. I restored my apps using Titanium Backup, and so...

I've been meaning to ask this for some time now. Katkiss Lollipop uses a 3.1.10 kernel, which, as far as Linux kernels go, is pretty old. Judging from your screenshot, I see that the same kernel will be in Katkiss Marshmallow. Does Google use such older kernels for stability, or is this a...

If I understand correctly, you used TWRP's ability to flash image files, to flash the Kang TWRP .img file. The problem is that, despite the suffix, that file is a blob, not an image (it's mentioned in the relevant thread a few times), and flashing it as an image has exactly the results you...

It's the version of TWRP that you should really be using on the TF300T, as officially TeamWin no longer supports the device. Yes, there is a download available, but according to the discussion for KANG TWRP, it doesn't work! You can get it from here. Since the buggy version is properly...

Let me guess: You tried to flash Kang TWRP from TWRP itself, using the "install image" functionality, instead of the recommended procedure. The problem with this is that Kang TWRP, although it comes as a file with the suffix ".img", is not an image, but a blob. (For some reason, its creator...

I would guess that the recovery is still mostly there, so that programs that check the location of the version string can find it, but enough information has been overwritten (perhaps the first few bytes of the recovery partition) that the tablet cannot boot into recovery.

If you are asking how to enter recovery, the procedure is as follows: Turn your tablet off. Turn your tablet on, again, pressing both the power and the volume down buttons. Keep them pressed, until you see some text on the screen. You should see three icons: RCK (boot to recovery), ANDROID...

It didn't work in my case, but it is definitely worth a try.

Note that the dd command merely copies TWRP to the staging partition. To complete the update, you will need to reboot to Android once. Rebooting the tablet will do the actual flashing of the new recovery. In other words, replace /sdcard/foo.img with the full path of the file containing the...

I always update TWRP using dd from a terminal, so I should think that it is safe.

In my case, my tablet was in a state where I was able to boot into android but not into recovery, so it was easy to take a backup after the fact. If that is the case with you, do so right now. Use titanium backup, to backup your apps, and a file manager to backup any files in /sdcard that you...

You also need to flash supersu and gapps, even when dirty flashing. If you only flashed the ROM, then that is the cause of your problems with play services. As I said, dirty flashing usually works. Just make sure that you follow the procedure outlined in the first two posts. When doing a full...

Sounds like you were using an older / different version of gapps in 23. Although dirty flashing usually works, switching gapps packages requires a full wipe. I did a full wipe when installing 24b, specifically to install the newer version of gapps, and dirty flashing 25 on top of 24b, using the...

It's "b" as in "second edition", not as in "beta"! I've seen this a couple of times on my tablet, and it was always caused by a droplet of water that had fallen on the screen. If this is the case, then the fix is easy: just wipe the screen dry!

You didn't follow the installation instructions at the top of the kang thread! TWRP can only install images and, as I mentioned in a previous post, all recent versions of TWRP are blobs, not images, whatever suffix they might have. Having done the same thing (yes, I knew I wasn't supposed to...

Almost. See the installation instructions at the beginning of the main thread. In addition, if you want to format the data partition using F2FS, you will need a different version of TWRP, as version 2.8.5.0 has a bug that will prevent you from doing that. Either upgrade to 2.8.6.x or downgrade...

You can follow the official instructions from Team Win. You can get the latest version of TWRP (currently 2.8.6.1) for the TF300T tablet from this thread, where they also provide instructions, though they assume you know how to enter fastboot, which is only described in the official...

So, when #024 comes out, will a clean install be mandatory for the upgrade, or can we use the old gapps (+fix permissions, as has been suggested) and do a dirty flash? If we do a clean install for #024 with the new gapps, will a dirty flash work for #025, if there is one?

Presumably the "sneak peek" refers to the new UI. Surprisingly, this is the first time that I actually liked a user interface that uses the flat look and feel that is all the rage these days!

I assume you mean the adb method. Yes, either that, or the fastboot method, described, e.g., here, where you can also download the latest TWRP. If your TF300T is rooted, you can also enter the "dd" command of the adb method to copy the TWRP blob to the staging partition using a terminal...
