[ROM][7.x][T715][ABANDONED] LineageOS 14.1 for Tab S2 8.0 2015

[T_I]

As of 30-01-2017 the sources have been included in LineageOS, created new thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-s2/orig-development/rom-lineageos-14-1-tab-s2-8-0-2015-t3551027 as the project is now original LineageOS.

This ROM is BETA and not ready for daily use at the moment​

Marked as BETA/EXPERIMENTAL, as all uploaded images after 7-2-2017 are untested by compiler, as I don't own the device. (have one on loan for a few weeks) (Donations to fix this are welcome :fingers-crossed: :laugh: )

LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community

First I would like to thank the following developers :

• @RaymanFX
• @CTXz
• @Sarum4n

I used @CTXz his T710 work and @RaymanFX's T815 image to base this cm 13.0 build on.

Special thanks to @Sarum4n, as he loaned me the T710 to test the builds and debug the boot issue we had. All except lte functionality i stested. (as the T710 doesn't have lte)

Before you start

THIS ROM IS ONLY FOR THE SM-T715 AND MOSTLY UNTESTED BY DEVELOPER

 *
 * Your warranty will be voided !
 *
 * I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
 * thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
 * do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
 * before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
 * you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.

Instructions

How to install Lineage 14.1

• If you haven't run stock Android 6.x, flash that first with odin. (image won't boot without this step)
• If you don't have TWRP yet, get it from here : TWRP by ashyx
• Download the ROM and the Gapps that are located below to your device
• Reboot into TWRP by holding VOL UP + POWER + HOME on boot
• In case things go wrong make a backup
• After the backup has completed return to home and select Wipe and then Advanced Wipe
• Now ONLY tick Dalvik Cache, System, Data and Cache
• After ticking those, Swipe below to wipe
• Once the wipe has completed return to home and select the ROM
• After you selected the ROM swipe below to install it
• After the ROM has installed flash the Gapps
• When all of this is done, reboot into system, wait, and enjoy Lineage 14.1

How to recover from issues

Looks like the reset to recovery (<HOME><VOL-UP><POWER>) is still broken on some or all T710/5 & 810/5 devices with this build.

• Press and hold <HOME><VOL-DOWN><POWER> to enter 'download' screen.
• Select cancel <VOL-DOWN>
• Immediately press and hold <HOME><VOL-UP><POWER> to enter TWRP
• Restore back-up made during installation phase

How to ROOT

• Install the correct root package from here. (after flash of the image)
• In LineageOS 14.1 Enable the developer options
• Select Root access
• Select Apps Only
• Done

Questions and bug reporting

The following questions will be ignored

• Inappropriate questions
• Forced orders, EX. : "PLS FIX!!!!!!"
• ETA's
• Often repeated questions usually by the same user
• Requests that are out of LineageOS's framework (Ex. Adding Samsung Apps)

How to report a bug/issue

• Explain exactly what happens
• Mention a log if you can (Please use hastebin or any other paste site to keep the thread clean)

Jumped the gun a bit, as it's compiling now. The issues are overcome and the build should work. (Want to have it online as soon as it's upoloaded) All info in OP is correct, except the latest build link. (need to upload that first )

 

[PaterProx]

Thank you! Will test this.
Quick question. Is LTE module working? And which gapps shoud i install, arm or arm64?

Uploaded build and updated link in OP.

Don't know if lte is working, don't have a T715, just a sleep-over T710. I'm now repacking and flasing so I can test it there.
The device is arm, so you need arm gapps ans root package. I test with opengapps pico.

Okay, im downloading. Will give you a report. What do you mean with root package?

See OP -> How to root. Things changed in Lineage, root isn't available by default anymore.

Tested image on T710 and it boots. Screenshot added to OP.
Camera isn't working. As it did in cm-13 build for T715, I can check what I killed.

 

[PaterProx]

Okay, installed it and it boots. WLAN works, LTE also works but not on first boot. Only thing I noticed is that vibration is not working and camara also. But all in all its very smooth. Will give this a week and report again.

I killed the camera in the process of getting screen back up. (Kernel config) When I remember correctly, vibration is also a kernel option. Will look into this and post a build when I get a solution.

Installed and works!

Just installed the ROM. I can confirm, that everything is working as described above, perfect! Thanks for the great work, i will continue testing and try to support as far as i can.

One first, little thing i just found by chance:

When opening settings app, the last menu entry 'About Tablet' shows 'SM-T815' under 'Device Model'.

Not a big deal, just wanted to report.

Thanks again, i appreciate the work done by you all!

 

[xeta_at]

Thanks for the Rom :good:

Since I own the T715 I am waiting for this.

Will give it a try during the weekend

 

[T_I]

The T710/T715 sources have been included in LineageOS github on 30-01-2017, so I'll be moving the thread over to the official development section. (or be more precise, create a new one there)

 

[Slider-Override]

Hi,
Have Problems with YouTube (Videos Looks after ~30sec in Zoom) and Facebook Videos are Not starting.

(On a T715)

 

[T_I]

Please report the issues to the correct thread, as this one is abandoned. (we moved to original development) (And fixes to bideo playback are made and upodated images will be posted there )
