[ROM][SM-T580][SM-T585][UNOFFICIAL] LineageOS 16 for Galaxy Tab A (2016)

[stramuort]

Always ran Stock T580 ... I mainly do web browsing and a little non-GPU intensive gaming (puzzle games like The Room, etc)... any benefit for me to try this ROM (e.g. worth the hassle of resetting, etc)

thx for the input!

You get Android 9 instead of 6, a few years worth of security updates, less bloat, better battery life

Nope. No need for _migrate if you come from the same rom. Just flash the regular .zip, along with gapps and magisk (if needed), in twrp.

Ok, thank you

I'm not sure its worth the time/hassle unless the performance and/or functionality is better? The only thing I dislike is the lag on loading, but that may just be the CPU?

I would always update for security reasons, if there are no bugs. And there I haven't noticed any in the last 3 weeks.

Running great on T580. Thanks!

However zip signature test in TWRP fails, for some reason

Thanks for the feedback.
Haven't seen the signature test failing in TWRP yet, so I will take a look into that.

Ok, can't speak for Google Meet. I'm using Threema video calls and here everything looks great.

This tablet does not have a special fast charging mode, so charging time is same as on stock.
It's surely not bug-free (which ROM would be anyway?) but no show-stoppers for daily and stable use.
