I've build the ROM for SM-T580 (gtaxlwifi) from source:
- LOS Updates 2018-03-20
- Security patch level should be 2018-03-05

I'm not owner of such a device, so I don't know what is working.

Download is available on AndroidFileHost.com (search "gtaxlwifi").

I'll try it asap, thanks

Works very well!

So, people report no issues using this rom. Any chance to make it official?

I plan to build the ROMs monthly for all of my daily used devices to get the latest security updates.

If I'm having new files for gtaxllte and gtaxlwifi I will post it - hopefully there will be no problems with the builds in the future...

That would be very much appreciated! Thank you! Your latest build works great.
Even if you'd only relase a build every 6 months this would be great. If you find the time.
Both SM-T580 and SM-T585 builds would be of interest to many people here!

Strange wifi problem

Flashed this ROM and all appeared to be working well. Signed in to my home wifi and it worked without any problem. But lastnight I went to my local pub and signed into its wifi hotspot. Connected and had full bars on the connection but no internet. So I signed in with my Android phone and it worked. Then signed in with my Surface Pro 3 with Win 10 and it also worked. Re-booted the 580 and tried again. Still no internet.

I have a Netgear Wifi Hotspot that I use when I can't find wifi, so I turned it on and connected to it with the 580. Internet connected with no problems. Can't figure out what's going on. I'm going to re-install stock and try it the next time I go to the pub and see if I still have a problem. But I know I've gotten internet on this tablet at this pub before. Many times.

I experienced something similiar too, but only with the original ROM of this thread, not with the more up-to-date ROM by cschsz. Also in my case a restart fixed it every time.
I justed tested it with my home wifi.

I'm using the one dated 20180320. As far as I know, that is the latest. And a re-boot doesn't help.
EDIT: Turns out it is not this ROM causing the problem. Getting the same result using latest stock ROM.

I have a samsung galaxy tab pro 8.4" and games like clash royale was too buggy for this tablet.So i flashed LineageOs 14.1 and the tablet now is smooth and clash royale works fine like my S7 Edge.
Today i bought a galaxy tab A 10.1 2016 and when i installed clash royale i saw that is too laggy to play.
If i flash lineage Os also will i see tne magic too like tab pro?

Make a try and tell about.:good:

Further CPU-speed of samsung galaxy tab pro 8.4 is around 40% better than Tab A so I guess
it would be not as good as on the pro. Otherwise "googeled/samsunged" versions of Android
are busy doing things for only them on your device so if you flash LOS without(!) gapps it should be
always faster than a stock rom version.

Didn't work... Still buggy :(

I've build the ROM for SM-T585 (gtaxllte) from source:
- LOS Updates 2018-03-14
- Security patch level 2018-03-05

This is my first post so I'm not able to post the link to the ROM and MD5.

If someone is interested in it - search "gtaxllte" on AndroidFileHost.com


PS: Thanks to @Valera1978 for the development and source.

Great news! It would be nice to make it official. Will it work for SM-T580? Is OK to dirty flash over the 12/31 version? Thanks!

Thanks a los Valeria for your effort. This rom/kernel works like a charm. Amazing.
One questions, does it have this kernel support for ath9k atheros by usb otg wifi dongle? I have seen the drivers inside the kernel package but I cannot do it works..Thanks!!

I've just tried to flash on my SM-T580, but twrp is showing error 7, I guess I need a different rom version, just like in the OP there are separate versions for SM-T580 and SM-T585.

I am no sure whether you are referring to Cschsz. But he *made* 2 different Rom's. One for the LTE version. And the other for the WiFi version. Which is performing without errors as far as I can see

The links in the OP are for the latest ROMs and are the ones you need to flash. I can assure you that the one for the T580 is working. If you are getting an error, the problem is on your end and NOT with the ROM.

I was referring to the builds by @cschsz which are newer (March security) than the ones in the OP. The versions for T580 and T585 are in separate posts, which is why I missed the correct one. Just flashed my T580 and it works great, huge thanks to the devs! Would be nice to make it official.

While I greatly appreciate another dev such as cschsz adding their efforts to enhance the Tab A, it gets very confusing when what is essentially a new ROM, is added to the thread of an existing one. Which one has the problem? To which one is a given post referring?
If it is going to be a continuing effort, then perhaps a new thread should be started. Or if it just an attempt to keep the existing ROM up to date, then maybe consulting with the original dev to get them to add the changes to the existing ROM and updating the links in the OP?
This is NOT meant to criticize anyone. Just a suggestion to clarify the situation.
