I tried the lineage-14.1-20170329-nightly-klimtwifi-signed.zip build and unfortunately the battery drain while watching videos is still massive. other than that everything else seemed to be working ok.

I use zarchiver appIs there a tool I can use to extract the boot.img file in the nightly build zip? As far as I understand (which is quite limited), the boot.img is not packed the same way as other img files? So a generic 7zip app won't work?
You should be able to boot it up and go into download mode.I was just able to score this tablet brand new for a very good price on eBay...I'm just wondering if Lineage OS is holding up well on it...I'm sure it's 10x better than using the stock ROM...my main question for those who already have it - should I root and install a custom recovery on it with whatever stock ROM is on it when I first turn it on? Or should I upgrade it to the latest available stock version from Samsung and then attempt to unlock it with custom recovery (might be harder to do this way)? I know with phones, the firmware gets updated with new releases and Lineage sometimes needs those firmware to be installed...does that matter for Lineage on this tablet?
lockscreen.rot_override=true
That is what I use to rotate the lockscreen, I couldn't find another way to do it.Hi @deadman96385
Rotation for Lock Screen don't works on official lieageOS build for T700.
Maybe we need to add this line on build.prop
Code:lockscreen.rot_override=true

Why the Official Lineage Rom for Samsung Galaxy Tab S8.4 LTE(SM-T705) not available yet?
And another query is that the lineage updater doesn't work, it says that you don't have a proper internet connection. Why that bug is not fixed yet and when you all are uploading the Official Lineage Rom for SM-T705?
No, ATM fingerprint is disabled. I believe it's because it is to buggy right now. I don't know of any Nougat ROMs that have to fingerprint enabled, Sadly?Does the fingerprint scanner not work in LOS for SM-T700? I am not on the latest nightly (using 3/29 right now) and I don't even have anything in the settings for the fingerprint setup...used Aroma GAPPS.
At the end of the file /system/build.prop@tebra - where do you add the line for lockscreen autorotate in the build.prop? That's been bugging me all along but I didn't realize it could be fixed that easily.

First of all sorry if I am posting incorrectly since this is a support thread, if this post is incongruous please say, and I will delete it.
Ok I am beginning to understand the fingerprint issue, all the fp hardware runs in trust zone and everything communicates via mobicore.

Its all a frigging nigthtmare if working from scratch, but we are not working from scratch.
This mobicore implementation does work https://github.com/Schischu/android_chagall_klimt but has been broken by the new hardware tree. I have been told its due to mobicore version mismatch, which I am trying to fix, but its still just above my skill level.
The fp hardware DOES work well, at least in my stripped down stock rom. If there are problems they come from the other Knox components and processes, which if removed no longer cause problems.
Likewise it works quite well in Schischu's rom.
Now I don't wat to be controversial here, but deathly kernel has swallowed a hell of a lot of effort, and ok on paper and to the programmers it should be so much faster and more stable with less amps used. In real world benchmark tests ( antutu, geekbench, and 3dx ) you can see zero performance gain, likewise power is only improved significantly in certain use cases.
I'm not really a code Guy, so maybe I'm missing something, but why the hell is the team working on android 7, with android 8 test builds, when the android 6 branch still has outstanding bugs? Samsung vendor blobs are now at android 6 , which to me means we can get the mm branch working propperly with minimal effort, squash all the framework related bugs, and call it a release.
that's what we do in the Linux distro world, otherwise end users get pissed
Just attempted to flash the 26 April 2017 nightly to my 700. It . . . did not appear to go well. I already had TWRP installed, though a bit old, so I skipped to the Installing LineageOS from Recovery section. After doing the flash and rebooting, I've been staring at the 'Samsung Galaxy Tab S SM-700; Powered by Android' logo for a good 30m now.
I don't think its supposed to take that long. But, none of the buttons seem responsive. Holding power does nothing, holding Home+Pwr+VolUp does nothing. Holding pwr+VolDown causes the display blink black than it goes back to the previous logo screen. Is there a guide someone could direct me to to unbrick this soft brick?
