Is there a setting anywhere that enables the tablet to remember the orientation before the screen was switched off?

I mainly use the tablet in portrait mode, even the orientation is locked to portrait. But every time I wake up the tablet it's in landscape mode.

Hello, I'm thinking about installing this ROM, but I have a question, I use the S-Pen with the handwriting recognition system of the official Android kitkat version of Samsung, I would like to know if there is any system available. Handwriting recognition for the S-Pen in this ROM. If someone can upload an image of the screenshot while entering the text manually

Thanks

The native app doesn't exist, and I don't believe any is included so you'll have to find a replacement, but the Google Handwriting Input app does work, and actually seems to work really well with the S-Pen. You should be able to install it on Stock and compare. The screenshot is from the install page, btw. It offers a place to test.

OK thank you very much. Would it be possible to install this application in the current version of android that I have on my tablet?

I answer myself, I have tried the application and it works quite well in android lollipop.

Thank you very much

usb issue

Hi,
I'm connecting this tablet to a keyboard (musical instrument) to operate a music reader program via a USB OTG cable. Since I've been on this ROM it's been spotty. Sometimes doesn't connect at all, sometimes works for a bit then stops, sometimes flashes between the 2 attached messages bottom of the screen. I've tried different cables/connectors, etc, but no luck. I noticed in the 'developer' menu there is a USB type button with some options:media transfer/audio/midi/charger etc. I tried changing this, thinking maybe it needed to be on midi or something else. I can select the button to change it, but it doesn't change predictably, sometimes not at all, sometimes I'll go back to it and it's reading something different. I think this is a software thing, the charger port was changed recently so that's new. Any thoughts appreciated.

Hello, thank you very much to all the team for the rom, although I have encountered some problem during the installation.

I downloaded the rom and installed it, the steps I have followed are these:

- Installation twpr with Odin (ok)
- access to boot loader
- data cleaning
- installation of the rom
- googleapps installation
- restart

The tablet turns on but stays with the black screen and a line like a smile with a circle and it does not start, more than 30 minutes waiting.

It is normal?

I ended up turning off the tablet and loading the official rom again with Odin, today I will continue trying the installation.

Thank you very much

Have you upgraded also the bootloader?

Yes, or I think so, I installed the TWRP recovery from this file twrp-2.8.7.0-v1awifi.img.tar, in fact it is from where I installed the zip file with the ROM and the GoogleApps zip file.

the new bootloader has touch support on the screen and allows loading zip files, and perform data cleaning

Thank you

TWRP is the Recovery. Bootloader is different. Check the 'Bootloader Information' part in first post.

I concur. Updating the Boot Loader is a VITAL step when coming from stock on this device.

Also, you should update TWRP to the official v3.1.1 which is the latest for the P900 ( https://twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxynotepro122exynoswifi.html ).

If you choose to root the device, I would recommend using Magisk 14 (or later) rather than SuperSU (which is now depreciated by Chainfire), or the standard LineageOS root add-on, which is rather limited in scope.

Hello, last night I was doing tests with the installation of the ROM and the truth is that I'm confused.

install the bootloader
Install the TWPR
install the ROM
install GApps

I did a total cleaning so that the installation was completely clean but, at the moment of starting, error messages of applications that have stopped appear continuously, error messages were about mail, calendar, etc, so I thought it was problem of the google applications and I decided to perform a clean installation only of the ROM.
The result has been the same, continue to appear error messages on the home screen and after much effort closing the messages I get to the screen to enter the data of the Wifi network, at that time the screen is blacked with the Lineage logo I can not continue with the installation.

I have tried all the available versions of the rom since October 25 and the same goes for all versions

Thanks for your help

update-it charges, but doesn't seem to recognize anything plugged into the otg cable-thumbdrive, etc

Two questions...

1) Did you download the correct and latest GApps version, ie. 32 bit ARM (stock)?
2) Did you flash GApps in the SAME TWRP session as the ROM?

If you read carefully, you will see that only with the installation of the Rom, without GApps, does not work either

At last I installed another Rom and it worked without problems

thanks

I've been using this rom for a couple weeks now. It's breathed new life into my old tablet THANK YOU! I love using two apps side by side.
I do have one problem. I use Flipboard a lot, and it crashes often while reading articles. Other than that, this is awesome! Thank you again!
