    Post [ROM][SM-T580][SM-T585][UNOFFICIAL] LineageOS 16 for Galaxy Tab A (2016)

    So far battery has been fantastic for me. Last year I tried a couple of different 64 bit Pie roms on this device. The ridiculous battery usage has always been a dealbreaker, and there was also this weird issue with frames being dropped during transition animations, and scrolling. None of those...

    Not sure if I did something wrong, but OpenGapps Beta didn't really work for me. It installed fine but I couldn't restore apps without purchasing them again. This other Gapps package works fine though: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/gapps-exlitegapps-android-10-t3984039

    Pretty good after a day of use. The nightlight keeps turning on on its own at dusk. I have to flip the switch twice to reset it every time the screen is turned off edit: fixed it by setting a tiny custom scheduled for it to turn on

    Post SM-T580 Bricked On Flashing Nougat 7.0 ROM XAR-T580UEU2BQF1-20170623075724

    Glad that you were able to fix this (by returning the tablet). But for anyone else coming to the thread, I ran into the same problem after flashing twrp when I first got the tablet. The screen will appear as if it's completely broken. At first I thought flashing a custom kernel messed with the...

    You can, you don't need to update twrp (you will lose it anyway), just flash this through odin. But you'd be better off updating twrp, and flashing a rooted, de-bloated 8.1 which is flashable through twrp. It has all the stock features, and it's a bit faster in my experience. You can find the...

    If you have trouble getting TB to recognize root even after you grant it perms, just go to Titanium Backup's app settings and delete all data and cache. Next time you start Titanium it should have no trouble detecting root. Same goes for any other app.

    You can roll back to 7.0 btw. I did just that prior to installing this snappy wonderful rom (thanks a lot again). I went back to 7.0 DBT from the official 8.1 DBT by flashing 7.0 T580XXS4BRI1 DBT through odin. (tried another variant, didn't work) Anyway here's a mega.nz mirror if anyone wants it.

    I just tested this ROM (RR-O-v6.0.0-20180413-griffin-Unofficial.zip) with my Bluetooth headset connected to it the whole day (it was connected from the moment I switched it on), and I haven't experienced any 'Bluetooth drain'. Maybe it's a Bluetooth-device-specific issue.

    Post [Q] the video quality is too bad. is this a fake phone?

    The apparent over-saturation is probably because of the X-reality engine. But there shouldn't be any black dots or dead pixels. If there are too many of them you can get a refund.

    Anything above 360 (361....) works too, I tried up to 480. The lower ones seems to make everything too small, and messes with the alignment of many apps. I found >360 much more comfortable, symmetric, and overall more appealing.
