You don't know what you are talking about. Just go away.

Erm what? You are the one who came here trying to challenge what I put while demonstrating you had no idea what you were talking about and iv advices you and now you are randomly acting like I'm evil or something and I should leave.

Well, thats one very confusion socialisation.

One last time. If you are correct, and the only way to change the partitions is via compiling Android, then the author of this guide must be lying. https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-dangerous-resize-system-partition.4315365/

BTW, my "Senior Member" outranks your "Member" status.

You can only resize a partition if it had not already taken up the full stated size by the board it self which is exceedingly rare and only occurs if you did something wrong.

And, now you are just being plain childish and entitled.

I have no idea how to resize the partition, but TWRP does work for this device (kinda) and replaces the regular Samsung recovery if you install it right. Easiest way is when you are running stock, download the TWRP app and flash it with the latest version from this thread:

[RECOVERY][UNOFFICIAL] TWRP 3.7.0 for 2021 Galaxy Tab A8 10.5 [SM-X200]

Notes: What's posted below is a work in progress, but it should suffice to unblock efforts to build custom ROMs for this impressive tablet. This is unofficial and unsupported, so the usual caveats apply. Since we don't flash the bootloader, you...

Data is always OMB. You can't make backups and flash anything through this recovery which is why I'm pretty sure you need to do it through fastboot instead.

All you are really saying is that there has to be room to resize. So, yes, you have to decrease the size of the last partition (internal storage) and move any partitions between it and system, to MAKE ROOM. But it CAN, and has been done, on other Galaxy tablets. Is it dangerous? Of course. That's why I won't attempt it. But it IS possible and has NOTHING to do with compiling Android.

BTW: Your ad hominem attachk calling childish just make YOU look childish.

You need to understand that this tablet is budget, even for Samsung standards and therefore is quite limited in it's capabilities. Most of all the GSIs with countless customization options that I’ve downloaded from SourceForge work fine on my phone, but do not install on this tablet because of it’s limited system partition.

I’ve posted about this in a different thread, but if you are looking for the latest Lineage OS to run on this particular tablet flash this one:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/andyyan-gsi/files/lineage-20-td/lineage-20.0-20230218-UNOFFICIAL-arm64_bgN.img.xz/download

I’ve been running it for the last month and besides no compatibility issues it’s much faster than the stock OS. No hate against OneUI 5, but this tablet’s specs handle Samsung’s latest OS poorly.

Do you know if I am able to flash this los20 build on top of your los19 referenced earlier in the thread?

Has anyone tried it?

Thanks in advance for any pointers/advice your may have too.

One that works and the other with the greatest potential.. if it is possible to convert .img to .tar.md5 and I did try with converter.. maybe can flash with oden lineage-19.1-20230323-UNOFFICIAL-arm64_bvN.img.xz as I am I just came across something.. I guess I'm not going to sleep

[sedablaze]

As mentioned in this thread previously, 20230218-bgN is the only 20 build where everything works including bluetooth

Trying to get away from snooping gapps, degoogleing is a hard thing to do and dont think i am ever going to get everything i want. Hearing how google is sencoring what you see and able to download. I trust them about as much as i trust my goverment. You would think they would be on the side of freedom and not communists.. just saying..

Can anyone help me please?
I got SM-X200 and perfectly installed lineage-20.0-20230418-UNOFFICIAL-arm64_bgN
It looks like all works but after a few minutes the tablet restarted.

Already did a clean install.

My steps:
Format data TWRP
Wiped Data and cache
Booted into fastboot and ran the command:
fastboot flash system lineage-20.0-20230418-UNOFFICIAL-arm64_bgN.img
Rebooted in to system and Lineage started, after a few minutes the tablet reboot.

booted again into twrp and did a factory default. Saw an error with invalid command for /data (couldnt mount)
Rebooted but did not fix the issue.

Anyone any idea how to fix this issue?

Fixed it by installing lineage-19.1-20230418-UNOFFICIAL-arm64_bgN.img

 

[kevinco1]

Has anyone flashed the new 418 build available?

Wondering what issues there may be as every release can be random in terms of working features. For me, bluetooth being operational is most important

AFAIK, you can't flash a bgN with TWRP because TWRP only has Super and not System. And a bvS, which is Super, doesn't have gapps. What did you flash with TWRP?

bgN and bvS builds install just fine provided that you flash them via fastboot. You can enter fastboot by rebooting through TWRP’s mode.

You are unable to flash builds directly through TWRP since you can't mount data. Because of this, bvS builds are a waste of time for this device since you can’t flash GApps

You can flash directly via TWRP by first formating the data partition. That removes the encryption. The problem with this version of TWRP is that it doesn't have the choice of flashing the system img, which is NOT the same as super. I knew I could flash via fastboot in TWRP but I read your post as saying it could be done directly.
