[ROM][10.0][UNOFFICIAL] Nexus Stock for 2019 Galaxy Tab A 10.1 [SM-T510]

[betacrypt]

This is such an awesome rom. Running AOSP version and it's so smooth and fluid. Thanks for your work on this!

Any way to add Dolby Atmos to this rom?

I'm sure it's possible, but I'm not going to do it. The built-in speakers on this tablet aren't going to make much of Dolby Atmos.

Aww gee!! Are you trying to tell me that a few little software tweaks can't make my little 10" tablet sound like a multi-million dollar movie theatre? What kind of horrible junk is Samsung trying to pass off?

Yaa but adds a bit to speakers in stock rom, as far as I have realized it. If its easy like flashing a zip, using xposed etc. can you please guide me how can I add? I tried it earlier with different mods but none of them worked .

I think it's a matter of porting the OEM app (SoundAlive_70.apk) from the original system image over, but there may be other dependencies like SplitSoundService.apk and MultiSoundSetting.apk. Any driver (a.k.a. kernel module) dependencies are probably already present in the vendor partition, though.

Well, I think there might be a magisk module. Personally, I use ViperForAndroidFX, and it really improves the onboard sound quite a bit. You can get a decent volume boost and fuller sound - less tinny. Just bump up the output boost, set speaker optimization, and set the equalizer to "small speaker".


Viper is finicky in Android 10. It might take a few tries to get it to work. Install the Audio Modification Library, also in Magisk.

You could also install the LQ release, which has the LineageOS AudioFX app. That should be able to boost the audio a bit.

Thanks I'll try that once I get time and report back if that works.

The tiny speakers in a tablet can only move so much air. Adding enough "bass boost" to make a significant difference is just going to overdrive the speakers and ruin them. "Bite the bullet" and buy a good set of bluetooth earphones.:victory:

I tried that today but as soon as I touch on Dolby Icon in the status bar rom crashes (everything disappears except the status bar which starts blinking). Also tried installing only soundAlive but the result was same.

Viper is good but I am bad at configuring and optimizing it.

I do have a Bluetooth speaker and earphone. But using Dolby will enhance them too? yaa I know bass boost is not good for speakers health but, I am not going to use them extensively so I guess it's okay to have better sound

Hello Magendanz
Is there any update of the rom in progress?
Thanks for your work.

 

[robertozombie]

first of all, thanks for your work @Magendanz,

I'm deciding on which of your custom ROMs to install on a SM-T510 tablet.

is it possible to do the following with one of your custom ROMs?

1.- When tablet is connected to USB, powered off and then gets power (when I turn my car on for example), it will turn on and boot directly to android.

2.- When it boots to android, it boots with root privileges automatically (i.e. it doesn't require the vol up + power button combination)

3.- Previous Bluetooth pairings are not forgotten after reboots (I read that there is a bug in some ROMs)

4.- This is not a must, but it would be cool if I can set a charging limit (i.e. the tablet will only be charged to 60% and not 100%, this way the battery is not stressed)

5.- Also not a must, but able to watch Netflix in 1080p.

Thanks in advance

You mean the Android 11 builds? @phhusson is continuing with the pre-release builds, but they're not yet really stable and the last one was completely broken. Once these move out of pre-release status, I'll port to the SM-T510, SM-T290 and Mi Pad 4.

1.- When tablet is connected to USB, powered off and then gets power (when I turn my car on for example), it will turn on and boot directly to android.

I spent a few days experimenting with this when working on the cold charging fix. While I could get it to boot "normally" when the charger is connected, the kernel was still disabling the touch screen in LPM mode. So, this is possible, but would require kernel modifications. (Note that LPM does bypass the bootloader warning delay, which I'm sure you would appreciate.)

2.- When it boots to android, it boots with root privileges automatically (i.e. it doesn't require the vol up + power button combination)

This is totally possible with a rooted custom ROM. I think most AOSP and LOS GSI ROMs based on @phhusson's builds come with su, which you can remove with securitize.sh script, if desired.

3.- Previous Bluetooth pairings are not forgotten after reboots (I read that there is a bug in some ROMs)

I haven't been tracking this issue, but it's just a bug that I'm sure can be fixed.

4.- This is not a must, but it would be cool if I can set a charging limit (i.e. the tablet will only be charged to 60% and not 100%, this way the battery is not stressed)

If you set the CONFIG_SEC_FACTORY kernel option, it not only fixes the MTP behavior, but also provides a charging cap at 79%. This might be worth exploring.

5.- Also not a must, but able to watch Netflix in 1080p.

Yeah, this a "whack-a-mole" game with Netflix that I'm not interested in playing. Any device with bootloader unlocked is compromised from a DRM perspective and should not be WideVine L1, so I don't exactly blame them.

 

[robertozombie]

awesome!

thanks a bunch for your thorough reply @Magendanz, very well explained.

I'll definitely install one of your custom ROM.

last question, which ROM would you recommend for a tablet that will be in the car permanently?

your Nexus or LineageOS ROM?

Thanks again

Roberto

I mean Android 10 with security update, but a 11 will be great.
Thanks.

The latest Android 10 AOSP GSI release was v222 on August 6th. As soon as @phhusson has a new build, I'll update my AQ release.
@AndyYan did have a LOS 17.1 GSI release on Oct. 12th, which I'll look at for updating the LQ release. However, my daily driver has been the AQ build, and I've found it pretty stable and performant. Other than having a more recent security update, I don't really have a reason to switch back to LineageOS.

AQ build here I come!

What is AQ?
I'm looking at maybe updating this tablet, but I've been out of the game since galaxy s4 release.
