Anybody knows if the last version (July) has SELINUX ENFORCED for default? It is rooted for default? Thanks in advance!

I've updated my tab few hours ago. I dont know what happened, it works for a while (setting language and home screen, etc) before it started to force close everything and rebooting to TWRP. Sometimes it turned off by itself, and back to twrp receovery again.

Anyone can help? please...

Sounds to me like you haven't done a proper factory reset in TWRP

Guys! I messed up!
I had my Samsung Galaxy Note Pro SM-P900 going well. I have another tab and wanted to sell this one but I had to bring it back to stock. I downloaded a few roms hoping to find the right one that is for this model tablet. A US rom, which I couldn't not find anywhere. I heard about this cellular south rom that is US but couldn't find it.
Anyway, I accidently flashed the wrong rom (P900KXUBOG6_P900KOOBOG6_HOME.tar) over (CF-Auto-Root-v1awifi-v1awifixx-smp900). It turns out to be the wrong rom and it's Korean. I tried to re-flash CF-Auto-Root-v1awifi-v1awifixx-smp900 over it but for some reason it won't work. The Korean rom still stays.
Does anyone know how to remove the Korean rom so that the CF-Auto-Root-v1awifi-v1awifixx-smp900 rom could flash back? Or even better, does anyone have the original stock rom for this tablet so I could get it back to it's original state? Thanks.
And I just noticed I put this post in the wrong area.

For the palm rejection issue, I applied the fix from this post - (essentially adding several lines of code in 2 files, inputreader.h and inputreader.cpp and rebuilt). It works for me, and palm rejection is working fine now.

If any one wants to test, the zip is here.

Hi Ahgoo2020,

Regarding your compilation of this ROM, does your version include all the security patches up to recent? Valera1978's repo hasn't been updated since May so I don't know where he has been storing his security patches. I'm assuming you used his repo as a basis for your ROM?

Regards.

Valera1978s version 20200724 includes july patch.

Hi bmwdroid,

I know Valera's latest version includes the July patch. I'm asking Ahgoo2020 if his version is based on Valera's Github repo and includes security patches up to July. Valera's repo hasn't been updated since May so I don't know where he is storing his updates up to July, so if Ahgoo2020 is based on Valera's latest repos, it may be missing patches all the way back to May. Just want to validate.

That is, unless I'm looking at it incorrectly and Valera's July patches are on the official repo but I'm just not reading the dates right or not looking at the right branch. If that is the case, someone please correct me.

Thanks.

I used Valeria's repo. Security patches now go up to 5 Aug 2020. I didn't add anything except edit a few lines of the input reader files.

17.1 for note 12.2 v1awifi

Hi, i need lineage 17.1 for my samsung note 12.2 v1awifi.. I found only 14.1 which is based on Nougat.
the only available way is to compile the source code.. anyone can help me here?

 

[bmwdroid]

@shardsx
I've understood your question, was just wondering.

 

[shardsx]

@Valera1978, I just noticed you updated the latest build to the august security patches. Does this include the S-Pen fix that @ahgoo2020 referenced?

I just want to give a special shout-out to the following folks:
@Valera1978 for all the beLineage OS builds that keep extending the life of our SM-P905 devices.
@ghostwheel for finding the code in an old Lineage OS build that removed palm rejection and illuminating the way on how to restore it.
@ahgoo2020 for linking to Ghostwheel's solution and compiling a fixed ROM with working palm rejection, and for inspiring me to learn how to compile Valera1978's code with Ghostwheel's fixes.

So far, I've tested palm rejection using LectureNotes and Autodesk SketchBook (with the app's Pen Mode enabled) and I'm very happy to report that everything is working well.

Thank you, @Valera1978, @ghostwheel, and @ahgoo2020!

I'm no developer and I don't know how to contribute back to the community, but I imagine that if the code from @ghostwheel can be merged back with official Lineage OS it would help enable palm rejection for all other Samsung Lineage OS ROMs, not just for our SM-P905 devices.

I was just waiting for confirmation that palm reajection it's working for install in my device.


I will download the version build with the correction to try here.:good:

P905 successor

Hi

It seems that Samsung has finally made the successor for the P905, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7+

It's a beast of a tablet, 12.4" Amoled screen, latest SD865+ processor, 6GB ram and 128Gbyte storage

Only downside i can see is that it is VERY expensive.

$1000 for the wifi only version and even more, for a 5G enabled version.

I would be tempted to buy it if it was to come down a bit in price, my P905 is beginning to show signs of age.

More specifically it has begun sometimes to run very slowly for a period of time, making it not very usable. Have tried taking the back plate off, pulling the battery connector to do a real cold boot, and also tried installing the latest version and doing a full wipe and new setup from scratch without it helping.

I am thinking of trying, going back to android 9 to see if this will relieve some stress on the tablet, but i am not too optimistic.

I think the same about S7+, it is the sucessor for P905. But I have the same issue that you told: the price is very expensive ( I'm brazilian and here the price will be like RS 8.000, 9.000)
About the problem with run slowly for a period of time, mine has the same issues some tames. But i just need to reboot to everything be alright. I just use like a notebook in college and see some movies, surf in the internet, etc.

Yeah and here, when you add VAT the price is more like $1175 so really expensive.

I think i will wait and see, if the price will drop.

Mine does not recover just by rebooting it sadly. Sometimes when it is slow, i dont use it for a few days, but keep it turned on and on the charger, and then it will be just fine the next time i use it.

Another thing that makes me think not to buy it, is the experience of the samsung P905 android updates.

Mine was born with android 4.4, it was upgraded to 5.1 by samsung and then promptly dropped and it never received another update.

Had it not been for Valera1978 it would probably be on 5.1.

I am afraid that Samsung will do the same here....Release the tablet, release one major update, conclude that the sales did not go as well as expected, and then promptly drop it from future updates.

At that point i will be totally dependent again, on someone like valera1978 to continue updating the firmware whenever a new android version is released.

Samsung did not even release that many security updates either, i would not mind being stuck on an android version a couple of versions back, not that much has happened from 8 to 10 for example, but having a tablet that is a few years behind on security updates is a big problem for me.

Samsung officially announced that they will release the total number of 3 major Android updates for Tab S7 series and Tab S6.

Which is really great offcourse, but if that is

Born with 10, will get 11 and next year it will get 12 and then it is finished, it is still a bit poor, as they usually sell these specialist tablets for atleast a couple of years.

I bought my P905 on sale in the summer of 2015, at that time they had already upgraded it from 4.4 to 5.1....It had 4.4 from the store, but 1 hour after i got it, it had the 5.1

So if i buy the S7+ next year, it will only have 1 real update, as they might already have updated to 11.

I dont understand why it is that Samsung would only do 4.4 to 5.1, but one single guy was able to make Android 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 available for the same tablet.

If Valera1978 or someone as clever as him, gets one of the S7+, they will maybe keep it alive, but for a $1000 tablet, i would expect it to last more than 2 years and to make Samsung responsible for this.

All what you said is IMO right and that's the reason why I don't buy any new samsung devices any longer.
I wait 2 or more years, look if a dev is supporting which and then buy it used.
I'ld rather give the dev some money than pay Samsung the whole lot.
My P900 (bought with the age of 4) has not even the need of a new battery although it's from 2014.
