[ROM][7.1.x|SM-T900| Unofficial LineageOS 14.1 (v2awifi)

[Haven't aclue]

Hey everyone. Long time. I am getting close to have 16.0 beta to be released. Keep your fingers crossed and I will hopefully have it out soon.

Fantastic news, thank you for all your time and efforts and consideration for the poor people down here still stuck on Android 5.1, I gave just managed to unbrick my sm-t900 tonight, and because I haven't a clue what I'm doing I would love someone like you to bring my favourite old tab into the 21st century.
Kindest regards E

Does anyone know how to modify this note 12.2 LOS 17 zip so it can be flashed on tab 12.2? https://xdaforums.com/t/...l-lineage-17-1-android-10-q-20201221.4152395/

Edit: sorry I thought the P900 was exynos as well lol.

You can't do that because it is a different processor. We have a Exynos and that has a Qualcomm.

Talk about LOS 16.1 has attracted some interest in the T900. There is a new TWRP 3.5.0_9-0 available for the T900. TWRP 3.4.0-0 did not work at all forcing us back to the previous 3.3.1-0. So I decided to try the new TWRP. I used 3.3.1-0 to flash the img of 3.5.0_9-0 and rebooted into the new recovery. I then booted back into the 14.1 ROM. I then booted into the new recovery again and flashed the latest ROM update. I also flashed the Magisk zip since it is lost after an update. It performed exactly as it should. My experience with my Moto X Pure has been that back up and particularly restore might not work even if it can flash a ROM. I backed up the ROM, and booted back into 14.1. I then booted back to the new recovery, and then attempted a restore. It restored exactly as it should. Therefore, 3.5.0_9-0 works just fine for this tablet running 14.1 I think generally we should use the most recent TWRP if possible that works so I am now using 3.5.0_9-0.

Thanks for the heads-up. Twrp 3.5.0_9 now also working well here. Which magisk version did you flash? Is 21.3 working well for you? Thank you

The latest Magisk and I updated it. Without looking I think it was 21.3, yes. Just remember to re-flash Magisk zip with every update. It is wiped by update which is not the case with some other ROM's.

Thanks, magisk 21.3 working well here as well now.

I have been using small Gapps by habit but wondered if this tablet could handle Gapps full. After rediscovering this is a 32 bit and not a 64 bit processor, and knowing that I had a back up, I did a clean flash with the latest 14.1 update, the latest Gapps full, and the latest TWRP 3.5.0_9-0 and it worked just fine. I will flash with Gapps full from now on.

Sorry for the intervention.
How was it possible for this ROM:
[ROM][P900/T900][Unofficial] Resurrection Remix 5.8.5 [7.1.2][2017/09/26]
to be installed on both tablets?
I use it now and I am satisfied, but I would be happy to see an update for our tablet.
Thank You!

Hi kb8no,

Did the same when I saw your post (Jan 20th current build, 32bit nano Gapps and 3.5 TWRP) , and I seemed to have lost my battery problem. Been running 5 days and only had one random lockup in Chrome browser.

Thanks, was worth the update.

You can always use a smaller gapps but you could have used gapps full. You could also have used Magisk.

Have looked at Magisk and will use next time, I tend to simply follow Page 1 instructions. Thanks

You can flash Magisk any time, does not need to be first flash. OP is long time ago.

Any tips for good settings for deathly auditor for a sightly faster but stable performance would be welcome though

May I ask when one should update their ROM given weekly builds?

My current build is dated 15th Jan 21, and my 'updates' notifier has worked for the first time and I see I am 3 weekly builds behind now.

I have no issues, all my 4 most used apps work, except when one of them plays a whizzbang advert with animations and or videos then I have to crash though and restart app. This has been so with every LOS 14.1 build in last 3-4 years. I was wondering if pjotrski100 original post re ... electronic newspaper issues were also due to the adverts?

Probably all you ever pick up is an occasional LOS security update. Probably no difference between most weeklies. Yet update is very easy and fast. If you are clever you could follow the source to note changes and update when a new security update has been added. Your choice. If you updated roughly monthly there is still usually no difference but that is what I have been doing. It would be nice if someone announced "new security update" when something happened but that's not what happens around here.

Thanks, that's useful, if my googling is correct the last security update for Android 7.1 (LOS 14.1) was Oct 2019.
Only Android 8.0 and upwards seem to be receiving security updates. So I assume I have the latest available security patch.

LOS 14.1 is receiving security patches regularly. My Moto X Pure is on 14.1 and the OP keeps releasing new builds when there is an LOS patch release so it easier to track when they occur. In the past year he had updates for patch release of Feb5, Mar5, Jun5, July5, Aug 5, Sep5, Nov5, Dec5. It seems LOS releases them monthly on the 5th of the month and I think the the Moto X Pure OP just missed Apr5 and Oct5. Indeed, the latest update of this ROM has the Dec5 patch as well just like my Moto X. So this would support a person updating the ROM monthly. So the next update we would expect is Jan5 and hasn't occured yet and I wonder what is the delay time before a security patch hits an update.

Just checked my T900 and it does say 5th Dec 2020 security patch level

but

Android Security Bulletin—October 2019 | Android Open Source Project

shows last month as Oct 2019 for 7.1, I am not pushing this

I will just wait for LOS 16
