Changelog:

  • Latest changes from LineageOS, including the 20230505 Android security updates.
  • (Untested) support for revision 7 gtaxllte devices, which were apparently exclusively for 2020 students in Egypt, has been added.
Yep, that's about it for these builds. The major addition in these builds is just addition of support for revision 7 gtaxllte devices.
Since there hasn't been any testing on a 7th revision device, I can't say for sure that everything works. Sensors and touch should work, can't be 100% sure about audio. (Those are the differences in hardware in revision 7 devices compared to the standard previous ones.)

If anyone with a 7th revision device has any issues, do report them.
(You'll have a 7th revision device if it didn't boot with previous builds and running getprop ro.boot.revision in a shell under Android returns 7, and of course got it as a student in 2020 in Egypt. No changes/improvements for all other devices here.)

I'll release a new unofficial gtaxllte TWRP build, to support that 7th revision, as well as a gtaxlwifi build, and updated gtanotexl* builds, very soon (in the next day hopefully).
Really no idea if I'll ever get around to taking over maintaining officially at this rate, but no big deal I suppose.

Random thoughts:
I really wonder why Samsung saw incentive to come up with a 7th revision for such a special purpose. I know there would've been an unavailability of some older chips used in older revisions, and so they've switched to newer chips in this new revision, but couldn't they have just pushed for a newer Samsung tablet to be used instead? These tablets got their last updates in 2020 anyway... Very odd and inconvenient.


Still no kernel updates. Still the usual lack of time (and energy) + it looks all the more daunting to apply the hundreds of new patches now. Ugh.... I might look at applying only some security fixes when I actually get time, should be an okay compromise without using so much time backporting so many changes.

Nevertheless, enjoy.
well
I will test it and I tell you what happened 🫡❤️

New unofficial TWRP builds for all variants are up

Downloads:
For gtaxlwifi:
Image here, tar for Odin for AP slot is here.
For gtaxllte: Image here, tar for Odin here.
For gtanotexlwifi: Image here, tar for Odin here.
For gtanotexllte: Image here, tar for Odin here.

Of course, current official gtaxlwifi and gtaxllte TWRP builds will continue working fine, if not trying to use them on 7th revision gtaxllte devices.
Still, these are newer (being built from newer sources and having a new kernel), so there's some benefit from that.
I tested it on 7th revision tablet and TWRP Recovery is works good and we have touchscreen works
but in Lineage OS 19.1 is not booted
It still on lineage os logo loading but no boots
(adb devices) cannot read this tablet on lineage OS booting
so I take a logs from twrp recovery again and I take logs or last_kmsg and pstore folder from twrp file manager in ROM.zip I send it for you
Thanks so much for the unofficial twrp builds and lineage os 19.1 and have a good luck for you ❤️🫡

I've tried my best with getting Bluetooth calling working, but failed. I really have no further ideas for fixing it. Tried all the typical fixes for Samsung devices, nothing worked unfortunately. I suppose someone else would have to find a fix with that, only time will tell if someone will.
Nevertheless, thank you very much :) !!!
I just installed 20230603 LTE, works as expected ;-).

Hmm, okay, the pstore log is just good enough.

Attached is a new boot image to try. Should definitely boot with it.

Now I have a bug with headphone and speakers is working together
so wait I will take logcat from matlog app and I will send it to you
Hmm, weird. I specifically made changes to prevent such a problem, and I don't seem to have made any mistakes. Tricky.

I'll leave this for later when I have time.
When I do get time, I'll want you to get the output from a small program called "tinymix" while headphones are plugged in.

(Also, by the way, just to make sure, that's completely normal with ringtones, and alarms (at least), so it's only a problem if you're trying to play media audio and not just testing ringtones and alarms.)

ok
just wait for me 🫡
No information there for sensors. Log taken too late. Specifically need a log as soon as possible after booting, errors are only logged during boot as the sensors HAL starts up.

I take that the accelerometer works fine.

Also, try to keep as much as possible in one message, otherwise it looks a little spammy.

I may soon get some option for donations for those who'd like to donate.

But before that, does anyone happen to know of a decent accessible alternative to PayPal for donations?

I'm presuming not really, so I'm asking just in case.

I don't like PayPal for its business practices, so I'd prefer not to use it. Could still use it if there isn't really any other decent option, though not great.


Needing more RAM now; The initial stages of LineageOS 20 builds consume all my current 16GB and ZRAM set to a large size, and I'm even often close to running out during 12L builds while also doing other tasks, since upgrading to a much higher thread count CPU. So that's where donations would first go.

That's a part of why I'm hesitant to start with LineageOS 20, apart from a lack of time and whatnot.

I have to resort to a console to build 20 (for my newer main tablet, notably) and not go out-of-memory, no GUI, very uncomfortable.

oh sorry 😐
now I take logcat again but from PC adb logs so take look at it and tell me is that helps you to find this bugs or no

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

    If you want to format system, you have to go for advanced wipe and select there system.

    Not saying it must be the solution for your issues but it resolved at least two different issues I had in the past at least coincidentally. K9100ii might have better suggestions nevertheless.
    I also tried that option at one point, and it still gave me the same problems. Anyway, thank you very much for your help.

    I believe I've found, and have a fix for, the bug that causes random reboots with my LineageOS 20.0 builds.

    I'm now testing, with my T580 playing a video on a loop as I type this, and will publish my fix later.

    In short, the bug was a pretty bad one in our HWC1 sources due to an oversight by someone at Samsung. I imported those HWC1 sources, alongside other legacy stuff, from older Android 10 BSP sources to newer BSP sources intended for Android 13, which are in use for my 20.0 builds. In those same Android 13 sources, there are other huge external changes related to OMX hardware codecs. The huge HWC1 bug only became massively visible because of those huge OMX changes.

    After I've tested and published my fix, I'll release new 20.0 builds hopefully within the next two days (if not today).

    I will also apply the bug fix for my 19.1 builds - While the bug wasn't visible there, it should still improve stability in extreme usage. Technically also, there should be slightly better efficiency from my fix (whatever it could mean in the real world).

    New LineageOS 20.0 builds with random soft reboots and DRM fixed are up. Download links replaced here.

    Have had my T580 playing a video on loop with the fix for the past few hours, looks okay, no soft reboots.

    Enjoy.

    With 20 I was not much satisfied on my Samsung Galaxy S7s.
    But with 21 I am really happy on my S7s.
    When you work a while with 21, you will see, that 21 is really the better one.
    I dont know why this is so, but 21 is the most smootest LineageOS I ever had used...
    LOS 20 is more smooth and snappier. All is working fine.
    I think LOS 21 will be more better than LOS 20. It was so on all my other devices. Waiting for LOS 21.
    Let's not get ahead of ourselves - Me suggesting that there might be performance issues is based on actual observations from different, newer lower end Exynos devices, where 20.0 was also fine (and yes, it is smoother on these devices indeed) but 21.0 turned out to be worse.

    We cannot project results on better, more performant devices, like the S7's, to these much lower end devices (which also came out as low-to-mid-range devices at the time of the S7's). It could be that Google managed to somehow make it all perform better and look smoother at the cost of using more hardware resources, or something.

    It is most wise to see that, on similar devices with environments more alike, there were issues, and there could be issues to an extent on these devices.

    If it will actually be fine, with no or a small hit, nice, but it doesn't mean there's no good in speculating there could be some performance shaved off, based again on real observations, and that it remains to be seen by myself.

    It's simply safer and better to be more careful with expectations.

    Extras:
    One set of devices that apparently had issues were Exynos 7904 devices. Apparently also, the performance issues went away after an upgrade of HWC2 sources. If there are issues here, we're stuck, since we're stranded with the same old HWC1 implementation, and might not have enough HW resources to bruteforce through slowness. But again, it's to be seen.

    Meanwhile, I do know of some small HWC issue, where we've got 4 HWC layers but weirdly only 1 or 2 layers are typically used at any time. As far as I can tell, Android 14 makes more use of HWC layers, and depends more on the HWC implementation working properly - That could all make things a little worse off here.

    After 5 hours on the rom its smooth many bugs was in 19.1 llike system crash when openning wifi on or off its fixed probably cuz of A13
    Waiting for Los21 it will be amazing
    I have no idea of the "many bugs" you speak of. I consider that, on most devices, 19.1 is "production ready".

    I have no idea also about those WiFI crashes, unless there was some ultra weird Google apps issue or other modification messing with the system overall that isn't present anymore.

    All I know is that there's an issue with the WiFi driver, independent from whichever version of Android, where, rarely, WiFi cannot be enabled on a first try. That's due to strange MMC-related errors, that appear in kernel logs. I've had it extremely rarely on 19.1, and also before on LineageOS 18.1.

    Are there any custom overclocking kernel for the tab-t585-580? I have really low performance even without google services, maybe overclocking the CPU can solve it
    No, and I wouldn't support any such kernels anyway.

    The CPU is already safely overclocked from 1.586GHz stock to 1.69GHz. No overclock of something like a further 100MHz (as could only truly be feasible) could improve performance in any noticeable way.

    Either, there actually are more ways you can lighten up your system (though I don't have suggestions, not knowing anything about your setup), or you've got a lot of intolerance for any slowness that shows up at all, which is normal if you're too used to other faster devices.

    Either way though, we can only work within hardware limitations, and I think I've done my best.

    Yup. It's a legitimate issue I did a clean and made sure it's a clean install but the soft reboots still happened again it only happens while watching YouTube for a long time though I'm not sure why, it never happened with 19.1. oh also- the YouTube player glitches out and then the boot animation appears or if I'm staying too long 'idle' at the home screen the boot animation appears etc,,,, kinda annoying tbh.
    Yeah, indeed. I just left a video playing on a loop on my T580 and I got a soft reboot after a while. Though it looks to be stuck on the boot animation indefinitely, no signs of continuing at all.

    Not sure at the moment. Might take me some time to figure it out.

    Version 19.1 build 20240221 and earlier did not have this behaviour .
    For me , this weirdness only started with the version that introduced "charging control" in lineage settings .
    Yeah, exactly, because the very implementation of that charging control feature is as such, as I described. Of course it started when it was added and enabled.

    I have no plans to disable it. It's useful and I'm glad personally to have no need for any external app anymore. It's also good for those without root access.

    Mind you, I was using the same app you've mentioned, and there's a big advantage with Lineage's feature - It doesn't completely keep your device active without going to deep sleep, and cause battery drain before charging again, after it stops charging to monitor if the battery level drops below the lower boundary. That app did that, and the only way to avoid too much battery drain and cycling it between a few % over and over was to pick up on when it stops charging, disable it from its notification, and disconnect the charger.

    You'd also have the same problem on any other device with Lineage installed and it enabled (which are quite a lot now). In any case, you should question if you have any real use for an external app.

    This is LineageOS 19.1, which is based on Android 12L, for variants of the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1" (2016), which have models and codenames as follows:
    • SM-T580, with codename gtaxlwifi
    • SM-T585, with codename gtaxllte, along with SM-T585N0, SM-T585C, and SM-T587 (not SM-T587P)
    • SM-P580, with codename gtanotexlwifi, along with SM-P583
    • SM-P585, with codename gtanotexllte, along with SM-P585M, SM-P585Y, SM-P585N0, and SM-P588C
    LineageOS doesn't need much of an introduction - It's a well-known custom firmware/Android distribution.

    For LineageOS 20.0 - Go here

    Some useful information only for devices from China (Never any others!) (SM-P583, SM-T585C, SM-P588C, and SM-T580 on the CHN CSC code for China) - For unlocking the bootloader before installation, an app, "CROM Service", would need to be opened and the prompt from it accepted so that it can be unlocked, after enabling the "OEM unlock" setting in developer options. It should be available from the Galaxy Store, although I can't be 100% sure about it. In any case, an APK for it should be easy to find.

    Also, for those running 18.1 or 17.1, upgrading to 19.1 is possible through the procedure I've explained before here and here. Mentioned Android/Lineage versions are different, but the steps still apply. I highly suggest backing up any important data before trying to upgrade. In the unlikely case the upgrade fails, and it doesn't boot, data would need to be formatted.

    LineageOS 19.1/Android 12 usability fixes
    For those wanting to disable the widely disliked taskbar
    (the grey bar at the bottom with the 3 navigation buttons and shortcuts for apps docked at the launcher): Instructions for doing so are in the first section of my post here.
    For enabling lockscreen rotation: Instructions for doing so are in my post here.
    For those needing Google apps: Do not use heavy Google apps packages, as otherwise, you WILL have severe performance issues. Instead, use the most minimal variant of your chosen package (core, pico...). Also, while mentioning that, make sure the package is 64-bit ARM (ARM64) and specifically, and only, for Android 12L.

    You may look for Google app packages that others have had success using by searching the thread. Also worth considering is microG, which - if you can use and don't have anything depending strictly on having Google's own play services - will allow you to have additional resources (RAM mainly) that would otherwise be taken up by Google play services.

    • Latest changes from LineageOS, including the 20230805 Android security updates.
    • [WiFi-only variant specific] 120+ MB of RAM has been freed for usage. (It was previously pointlessly reserved and so wasn't even reported as available.)
    • Possible slight graphical performance improvement? I honestly can't tell.
    Builds for 20230720 and 20230722 (LTE variants only):
    • Latest changes from LineageOS, including the 20230705 Android security updates.
    • Call audio over Bluetooth has been fixed (with an additional fix for Bluetooth calls in 20230722 builds).
    • On tablets with different models for different regions, the correct model number should now be set and displayed in "About tablet" in settings.
    • [LTE variants only] RIL blobs have been updated from Samsung's A305GUBU8CWE3 firmware.
    • Booting and sensors issues fixed for revision 7 gtaxllte devices (exclusive to 2020 students in Egypt) - Audio issues remain (see issue 5 under issues section).
    • Many updates from the 4.14 Android common kernel, up to v4.14.320, and a few other small updates, have been applied to the kernel.

    • Latest changes from LineageOS, including the 20230505 Android security updates.
    • Incomplete support for revision 7 gtaxllte devices, which were apparently exclusively for 2020 students in Egypt, has been added. (Note: Boot image here required for a change needed to boot on the 7th revision for the 20200603 build, the change will be included in all future builds making it unnecessary for them.)
    Builds for 20230419:
    • Latest changes from LineageOS, including the 20230405 Android security updates.
    • Linaro's new SLSI BSP (Board Support Package, containing sources for HWC and some other stuff) sources are now used - Much more up-to-date than the previously used sources, and there's possibly a small improvement in performance.
    • The OMX hardware video decoder and encoder libs are now built from the new Linaro BSP sources - With that, playback of HEVC videos is fixed in Chrome and other Chromium-based browsers.
    • Some updates from the 4.14 Android common kernel as of March have been applied to the kernel.
    • The wireguard kernel module has been added back - I silently removed it in the previous builds since it was unusable due to a now fixed device lockup bug that caused almost total unresponsiveness after enabling a wireguard VPN.

    • The ZRAM size has been increased to 2GiB, and the swappiness is now set to 100.
    • A higher frequency (1246MHz, was 902MHz previously) is now set for the interactive CPU governors "hispeed_freq" value - This improves responsiveness slightly.
    • The sepolicy containing device-specific SELinux rules has been improved slightly.
    • Yet more miscellaneous cleanups have been done.
    • Some updates from the 4.9 Android common kernel have been applied to the kernel.
    Builds for 20220724:
    • Latest changes from LineageOS, including the 20220705 Android security updates.
    • Some updates from the 4.9 Android common kernel have been applied to the kernel.
    Builds for 20220620:
    • Latest changes from LineageOS, including the 20220605 Android security updates.
    • Network traffic monitoring now works (as some changes reverting the removal of the old, non-eBPF, method of doing it that the old 3.18 kernel only supports have been applied, thanks to @rINanDO for them!).
    • One of Lineage's changes to the default keyboard, likely to be causing a problem where the keyboard appears full screen with no keys in very few cases, has been reverted.
    • Many updates from the 4.9 Android common kernel, and some from a few other sources, have been applied to the kernel.
    • The issue where trying to power off, or reboot to recovery or download mode, would sometimes cause a normal reboot has been fixed.
    • A small fix to the kernel has been applied that fixes occasional soft reboots, that were caused by a change I made a very long time ago that had only started causing such soft rebooting problems with Android 12.
    Builds for 20220523:
    • Latest changes from LineageOS, including the 20220505 Android security updates and an option for disabling the taskbar.
    • The problem where enabling the "Enable on-screen nav bar" option at Settings -> System -> Buttons caused touchscreen input to be disabled has been fixed.
    • Native support for IPsec tunnels has been enabled.
    • Support for Vulkan compute is now declared.
    • A new custom version of the open source Samsung audio HAL from Lineage's android_hardware_samsung repository is now used, rather than the stock, heavily-patched, proprietary Samsung audio HAL, with some fixes for a problem that made it unusable before where occasionally, audio would get outputted from both the speakers and the headphone jack.
    • The playback and low-latency capture period sizes have been reduced to 128 in the open source audio HAL, which reduces audio latency.
    • Pro audio support is now declared, since with the reduced period sizes, as well as with the use of the open source audio HAL, round-trip audio latency has been reduced enough for it.
    • Many updates from the 4.9 Android common kernel have been applied to the kernel.
    • Several fixes to the Sony HID driver in the 4.9 Android common kernel have been ported over to the kernel - Sony DualShock 4 controllers should now work properly.
    Initial builds for 20220416 (This changelog continues on from @followmsi's last 19.1 build that was intended for use by users):
    • Latest changes from LineageOS.
    • SELinux is now set to be enforcing after having addressed new SELinux denials with 12.
    • Assisted GPS has been fixed.
    • ADB is no longer enabled by default or on boot.
    • The tablet product characteristic has been added back after being mistakenly removed - Places where the device was referred to as a phone (such as the "About phone" section in settings) will now refer to it as a tablet again.
    • The Widevine DRM blobs have been updated to 1.4 blobs from the latest stock firmware for the Google Pixel 3a XL.
    • A new wcnss_filter binary built from sources is now used to properly fix an issue where Bluetooth couldn't be re-enabled after enabling and disabling it once, and the old workaround for it has been removed.
    • Some other miscellaneous cleanups have been done.
    • There are a few updates from the 4.9 Android common kernel and Samsung's A600FNXXU9CVB1 kernel sources to the kernel.
    • An issue where the displays backlight would be turned off completely when setting very low brightnesses, causing nothing to be visible on the display (unless very faintly if you shine a torch or a different bright light source on it), has been fixed.



    Known issues and workarounds/fixes (if any)
    Issue 1 - Squashed (rear) camera previews, and videos at some resolutions: Camera previews for images to be taken at resolutions with aspect ratios other than 16:9 using the rear camera are squashed from 16:9 (while final saved images at any resolution are unaffected by any squashing), and videos taken at some resolutions are affected by similar issues with squashing in previews, and, in a smaller set of resolutions, also in final saved video files. (Note that these issues don't affect the front-facing camera)
    Somewhat of a workaround: Use resolutions at which there are no issues with squashing from 16:9.

    Issue 2 - LTE variants - In-call echo: There may be echoing that can be heard by the person you're calling while using speakers.
    See my post here for more on this issue.

    (Temporary) Issue 3 - APN issues on LTE variant devices - after installation of a proper LTE variant build on top of an installation previously from a WiFi-only build: On an LTE variant device, after installing a proper LTE variant build on top of an existing installation from a WiFi-only build, when going to APN settings, at Settings -> Network and Internet -> SIMs -> Access point names, an error is displayed that APN settings cannot be changed by the current user (or something similar).
    Fix: Tap the 3-dot menu at the top right, and select "Reset to default", and then select the relevant APN.

    Issue 4 - LTE variants - No VoLTE (and VoWiFi) support: VoLTE, and likewise VoWiFi, currently cannot work on any Samsung devices due to Samsung's proprietary implementation in stock firmwares not working on AOSP.

    Issue 5 - Only on 7th revision gtaxllte devices which were exclusive to 2020 students in Egypt:
    Emphasizing the exclusivity of the 7th revision - You'll likely know if you have such a gtaxllte/SM-T585 device by it!
    If you want to be sure, run this command in a terminal app (such as Termux) or ADB shell on Samsung's stock firmware, which will return "7" if you have a revision 7 tablet - getprop ro.boot.hardware.revision
    If you don't, you won't have this issue:

    As headphones are plugged in, and audio is played from speakers, audio will be outputted from both headphones and the speakers. After a few seconds of pausing any audio, there won't be any audio output at all.
    This issue can apparently somehow be bypassed by using audio effects apps, such as Viper4Android. Real fix for things to work properly without anything extra is desirable but not yet known.

    Hopefully gone with the 20231213 gtaxllte build onwards. Apparently not, sadly.

    Something notable is that with Android 12, encrypted data can't be decrypted in TWRP recovery. That problem can only be fixed within TWRP, but with the fixes only being in Android 12L TWRP sources, which we can't build our TWRP builds from due to issues, it continues to exist.

    To report further issues, get a log from logcat and dmesg. If you're unsure on how to get either, there's good documentation out there for how to do so.

    Changelog:

    • Latest changes from LineageOS, including the 20230405 Android security updates.
    • Linaro's new SLSI BSP (Board Support Package, containing sources for HWC and some other stuff) sources are now used - Much more up-to-date than the previously used sources, and there's possibly a small improvement in performance.
    • The OMX hardware video decoder and encoder libs are now built from the new Linaro BSP sources - With that, playback of HEVC videos is fixed in Chrome and other Chromium-based browsers.
    • Some updates from the 4.14 Android common kernel as of March have been applied to the kernel.
    • The wireguard kernel module has been added back - I silently removed it in the previous builds since it was unusable due to a now fixed device lockup bug that caused almost total unresponsiveness after enabling a wireguard VPN.
    Wow, I didn't notice how long I really left this stuff for.

    Anyway, some nice improvements in these builds.
    The kernel updates are behind by a month due to... yep, a lack of time and other previously mentioned reasons. As always, I'll try getting them in at some point later. I'm really hoping these don't become unsustainable, keeping up and trying to defy that the 3.18 kernel is no longer maintained upstream since a really long while is certainly becoming more difficult.

    In any case, enjoy.

    Since I haven't posted anything for weeks now, I thought I'd give an update.

    With me being yet more busy, and things constantly changing, and health issues on top (though don't worry about me), I haven't had much time to work on this stuff much.

    Within my sources, I've fixed a bug, and applied kernel updates, but haven't had any real opportunities to release any new builds. I should be able to get around to getting new builds out in the next week or so.

    I don't really have time to reply to much of anything at the moment, so if there is anything to reply to, I'll be leaving replies for later.

    Changelog:

    • Latest changes from LineageOS, including the 20230705 Android security updates.
    • Call audio over Bluetooth has been fixed.
    • On tablets with different models for different regions, the correct model number should now be set and displayed in "About tablet" in settings.
    • [LTE variants only] RIL blobs have been updated from Samsung's A305GUBU8CWE3 firmware.
    • Booting and sensors issues fixed for revision 7 gtaxllte devices (exclusive to 2020 students in Egypt) - Audio issues remain.
    • Many updates from the 4.14 Android common kernel, up to v4.14.320, and a few other small updates, have been applied to the kernel.
    Finally got decent amounts of time to get some meaningful releases.

    Since the correct model numbers on devices with different ones for different regions should now be set, in case that doesn't happen for anyone, do report that.

    Enjoy.

    Changelog:

    • Latest changes from LineageOS, including the 20221105 Android security updates.
    Being yet more busy than usual, and also conveniently having had a hardware failure to deal with, yep, quite late again with these builds, and unfortunately with no kernel updates. Should be able to bring them in for the next builds, though.

    As for LineageOS 20.0, I've still yet to get around to working on it.
    While it certainly is possible, sadly, there most likely won't ever be any possibilities for getting network traffic monitoring (used specifically for data usage statistics, network download/upload speed monitoring...) working under Android 13. (For 12.1, support for the old, non-eBPF method for it was removed, however, we have changes to revert the removal and bring it back since our old 3.18 kernel only supports it and doesn't support eBPF. It certainly seems like we won't have changes to bring it back on 13, and unfortunately, it doesn't look like there will ever be eBPF backports for 3.18.)

    Nevertheless, for the meantime, enjoy.
