[ROM]|SM-T520|SM-T900|[UNOFFICIAL] LineageOS 17.1 | Android 10

[tamis-laan]

I flashed this ROM onto my galaxy tab pro SM-T520, I had lineage os android 14.1 on there before.

When I try to download the F-droid apk, the browser crashes.

I tried downloading the F-Droid APK to the SD card using my laptop however opening the lineage os file browser also crashes.

This makes the ROM useless to me so I reinstalled lineage os 14.1.

However now I have same problem on lineage os 14.1 as well!!!!!!!

Is there some way to fix this??

Did you wipe all data/caches before upgrading?

Did you wipe all data/caches before upgrading?

Yes, and did a full wipe when going back to 14.1.

has anyone been able to enable encryption on this rom? When I enable it, the device reboots, ask for the decryption pin, then get stuck at the LOS logo (I let it ran overnight, just to be sure).

Thanks for the great ROM btw, it's much snappier than the previous LOS rom I was using.

Hi. I've installed 17.1 over my old 14.1 on my 520. I managed to corrupt /data along the way but repaired it successfully with TWRP. My question is, how do you install Magisk for this build? The instructions I have found go into great detail about what *not to do* if SAR is found with a Samsung device but I can't work out what *to do*.

Download magisk apk, rename magisk.apk to magisk.zip, flash in twrp. Thats all

Yep, that worked eventually. I had to reinstall 17.1 again but it picked up pretty much everything, except for the Google Now launcher, oddly.
I now have root. Thanks for the help.

Hi, can anyone help me on how to get twrp 3.2., it seems links don't provide download. I think I need this one to use lineage 17.1 on the t520, right?
Thank you
Ps: can i use any odin for this or a particular version is more suitable. Many thanks from this newbie

Special thanks to Exynos5420 team and LineageOS for all the sources.

Enjoy fresh new Android!

Thank you @TechDriver for the opportunity to revive my aging Galaxy Tab 12 (SM-T900) with Lineage 17!

There are couple of things that I would like to mention:
1) Default SYSTEM partition seems to be ext2 with only 2G size - too small to fit 1.5G stock gapps. Attempts to install it via TWRP caused Error 70 (not enough space). I've pushed the "parted" via ADB, manually deleted 4 partitions (including SYSTEM), and then re-created them, with SYSTEM ext4/8G and DATA decreased by 6Gb from the original. Pain in you-know-where, I wish there was some simpler way to change, or even 6-8G by default... For those who interested - resize process is described here.
2) It turned out that the resize exercise was quite useless, as any gapps package above "pico" doesn't properly work on Lineage - it loops with the same questions (WiFI etc.) over and over again, never completing the OS configuration. Re: this link As a workaround, I've installed "pico" gapps version and then the rest from Google Play.

I see there is good activity on github, but no new version since may. Is a update coming?
