Thanks @TALUAtXDA for the rom! Here's what I learnt setting up MindTheGapps.
TWRP can't install MindTheGapps, it fails when the Gapps installer tries to re-mount the system partition. Reading about the issue, many mentioned that Lineage's recovery should work.
- Boot to TWRP
- Wipe the device (all stuff on it)
- Copy
lineage-19.1-20220824-UNOFFICIAL-gtaxlwifi.zip
to device's storage, and install it.- Extract
recovery.img
from thelineage-19.1-20220824-UNOFFICIAL-gtaxlwifi.zip
, move it to the device, and "install image" option in TWRP.- Reboot to system .. and go through all the setup steps as quickly as possible
- In the OS, change USB mode to "file transfer" and copy
lineage-19.1-20220824-UNOFFICIAL-gtaxlwifi.zip
andMindTheGapps-12.1.0-arm64-20220605_112439.zip
to the device´s storage partition.- Reboot to recovery, and format the "system partition"
- Install
lineage-19.1-20220824-UNOFFICIAL-gtaxlwifi.zip
, and thenMindTheGapps-12.1.0-arm64-20220605_112439.zip
- Boot system, and go Settings > Apps > Play store app, and grant it "Mobile data & wifi" permission - to solve the Playstore offline issue. If you still have issues, make sure you set time and date to reflect your location.
I never got ADB sideload to work in Lineage´s recovery, hence the extra steps to boot the OS.
I haven't tried the tablet using MindTheGapps, so at this time I don't know if that build of Gapps works good or not. I did manage to set up Google Family link though.
Thanks again @TALUAtXDA for your efforts!
EDIT: typo

But before that, does anyone happen to know of a decent accessible alternative to PayPal for donations?
[...]
Hmm, it isn't perfect, but looks decent.
PUBG mobile? On this hardware that's low end for today? Seriously? I'm not interested in that game, but is that playable at all? Legitimately interested, and have my doubts.in games like brawl stars and PUBG mobile there is no sound
I don't know why but check logcats if you found this bug
Okay, this is helpful. Only checked that log; SELinux denials, as I expected.here is a logcat straight after boot lineage os 19.1 on the 7th tablet
Indeed, fully agree, specifically why I'm mentioned accessibility.Sorry, I have no good alternative in mind but I think the ease of donating is crucial. Speaking for myself, I don't want to have to create an account first before being able to donate. I agree to the dislike of PayPal but it is pretty easy using credit card or bank transfer. The above requirements are conflicting e. g. with GitHub sponsor program as I don't have an account there.
:)
My mistake, I meant direct debit but also in relation to PayPal. At least in Europe, PayPal offers this option. Same as with credit card, both is possible without having an own account as donor.Bank transfers aren't an option, since I can't put up the details for my personal account. That would mean my identity being extremely directly exposed. But yeah, I agree it would be best if not for that.
Ah, okay. I thought that wasn't an option for donations. I knew PayPal offers that option for commercial transactions, but (somehow) thought donations worked completely differently.My mistake, I meant direct debit but also in relation to PayPal.

And yes, I would also not want to make my personal bank account details public. ;-)
Looking forward to whatever option you choose.
Sorry for yet another post on this matter: I checked today and see that the form for PayPal donation both via credit card and via direct debit as alternative to log in to an existing account include (besides all personal data) now also a password box (was not the case some time ago). No clue whether it is a box that can be omitted or not. I found also information online that PayPal accepts only up to three times payments (not specific to donations) via direct debit per bank account without a PayPal account and to a maximum of 1.500 EUR.Ah, okay. I thought that wasn't an option for donations. I knew PayPal offers that option for commercial transactions, but (somehow) thought donations worked completely differently.
I'll most likely go for having only PayPal then. I was planning to have it anyway despite my dislike as the common option, but in that case, if I go with something like Ko-Fi, on my end, it'll be going through 3 different services (with 3 different accounts) which isn't nice.
Thanks for bringing that up.
In TWRP, Format -> Format Data (there's a specific button) -> Type yes to confirm. Should be fine after that.For some reason, after LOS boots up for the first time, the device immediately shows "Factory data reset" and throws me back into TWRP.
The strange thing is that I initially had issues with installing Gapps (MindTheGapps refused to install), so I checked if LOS works or not. I went halfway through the initial setup before rebooting and trying to install some other Gapps versions.
After that, I went through several Gapps versions because I started receiving this message and reboot.
So, once again, I tried with no Gapps and the reboot persists without Gapps as well!
Then I tried an older LOS and the reboot still happens.
At this point, I went through like 10 combinations and reboots/wipes and it never works.
I always fully wipe everything on the device (system, cache, data) and install from SDcard (I mean, the real SD card in the slot).
What could have triggered this and how could I solve it?
Yes, the OEM Unlock was enabled before flashing TWRP. Although that other mentioned software refused to run.
Is that important?
I don't think so because I had a vanilla LOS going through half-way of the initial setup process once. This reboot thing started after I managed to install a Gapps package as well (but now vanilla won't work either).
Nah, it's fine. Such information is interesting and useful to know.Sorry for yet another post on this matter: I checked today and see that the form for PayPal donation both via credit card and via direct debit as alternative to log in to an existing account include (besides all personal data) now also a password box (was not the case some time ago).

I guess anti-money laundering legislation is making things more and more complicated ... and data gathering interest of companies like PayPal are not going to oppose this.
I even tried changing the filesystem on all writable partitions (system, data, cache) from ETX4 to EXT3 and back to EXT4 just to make sure they are indeed getting formatted and not just rm-f wiped.In TWRP, Format -> Format Data (there's a specific button) -> Type yes to confirm. Should be fine after that.
Edit: Misread/mistook your problem from tiredness, but try that. Can't imagine anything going wrong with properly formatted data.
I guess K9100ii knows better which of what follows can be relevant but I will ask a few (silly) questions from my own experience - no need to answer everything but maybe something will lead you the right way:For some reason, after LOS boots up for the first time, the device immediately shows "Factory data reset" and throws me back into TWRP.

fsck
via TWRP - shell is available in advanced or so. (Don't have device with TWRP at hand right now.)Just for sake of completeness: Did you format data as mentioned by K9100ii followed by a reboot to recovery and then flashing just the plain LOS build without GApps?I even tried changing the filesystem on all writable partitions (system, data, cache) from ETX4 to EXT3 and back to EXT4 just to make sure they are indeed getting formatted and not just rm-f wiped.
Correct - while I can recommend (see earlier posts) NikGApps core as being smooth.Just to confirm... the latest LineageOs avaiable for the old T580 is this 19.1 version, right?
To get my Tablet to a more updated state i need to go with:
- twrp-3.7.0_9-0-gtaxlwifi-unofficial-newsources.tar
- lineage-19.1-20230603-UNOFFICIAL-gtaxlwifi.zip
- open_gapps-arm64-12L-pico-20220705-UNOFFICIAL_MOD.zip
Is this correct?
SM-T585 gtaxllte.
- Which model do you have?
- Which TWRP are you using? Matching the model as listed in OP? (Low chance being relevant since you seem to have no troubles with TWRP itself.)
- Are you using the matching build as listed in OP?
- Did you check the integrity of the package with the provided checksums in "Folders for builds" in the OP for LOS? (For checksums of TWRP packages, you might want to ask K9100ii whether he can provide. I haven't found any for TWRP so far.)
- Device was running without issues on stock before you started the whole activity?
- Most interesting: What do you mean with "I had a vanilla LOS going through half-way of the initial setup process once"? Do you mean it succeeded to install (not meaning a lot) or to boot into system without the mentioned issue (more relevant info)?
- Whenever you flashed GApps, did you format your data partition before booting system?
- Worst case, you can try to check the partition with
fsck

from firmware broi have revision 7 gtaxllte device
i just want the stock rom without fully unlock for normal use
now i have lineage os
where do i get the stock rom
Can't I load it in the TWRB recovery with ADB SIDEloaderfrom firmware bro
just search "SM-T585 firmware" and select your country
unzip the firmware file and flash this files with odin3 from PC
that's it
I did have two mentions of google app packages, some custom opengapps packages and nikgapps. A while ago, I saw posts from someone related to issues with those packages, implying that the mentions were seen as recommendations, rather than just useful mentions in a specific context. All the while it seemed like I might've got partial blame for the issues, just with the mere mentions since I've been taken to having recommended packages.As the questions "where can I find XYZ GApps" or "which GApps should I use" are popping up lately every other day, I try to summarize. @K9100ii - could you please add a link in a prominent position in the OP?
Of course? I haven't disappeared.I'm sorry to report, but building with the September-2023 patches fails with the exact same errors as before.

Yes, thats it. In German we say "jedem Tierchen sein Plaesierchen", what nearly means the same ;-)First of all, I believe you understand that I agree to the general remark about "consider whether you need GApps". But I believe it is good to keep in mind that there are two overarching drivers for going for LineageOS:
The later option might imply to still use GApps - e. g. using previously bought apps but there might be various other reasons.
- Increasing privacy - there are people installing on a freshly released device to get away from supplier and Google data collection.
- Extending life time of device - due to lack of support (safety updates) by suppliers using LineageOS to extend usage.
Overall, never forget: "Live and let live."
