:p
After wiping data partition and installing the latest version of lineage, I wanted to enable device encryption. However, I am facing boot loops now.
Is that issue just affecting me? Is encryption already supported by your build?
I've had the same issue as you, and on second install I haven't tried it again yet. I don't think encyption is on by default (I checked it with a Play Store app), and I suspect the problem have something to do with an inserted SD Card configured as Adopted Storage, but as of now I don't want to risk having to do the installation all over again if it happens even without the SD in.

I mean bootloader. If you didn't flash stock oreo rom, so you have nougat bootloader and it could be an issue.
I can confirm it's an bootloader issue. I've tried to flash 15.1 on tablet with stock 7.0.0 and it bootlooped, as in @bambinook's case. So I grabbed British version of Oreo (there's no 8.0.0 for Polish product code yet) and flashed it with Odin - it didn't even boot properly, just got stuck on Samsung logo - but now with Oreo bootloader on board, I've flashed 15.1 again and this time it booted without a problem. Thanks for the suggestion.

If we don't release t820 build, so we have the reasons for that.
Could you please elaborate this either in a short answer here or put it in the starting post? Since i'd like to get into Lineage OS developement for the 820 variante I'd like to know the reasons ^^

And on topic: Since there simply aren't any alternatives for the 820 I'm currently using LineageOS 14.1 20180301 (ABANDONED) on mine. A bug I encountered there is that the s-pen recognition doesn't rotate with the rest of the screen. Did somebody test the s-pen with this LineageOS 15.1 (825)? Is the bug also present in this ROM?

An example on the bug I'm talking about:
I use the Tablet in portrait mode and then switch to landscape. When I write on the middle of the left in landscape mode (90° right) it actualy puts the writing on top of the middle.

(I don't want feedback or talk about an abbandod project, I simply want to make the devs aware if this is also a problem in their present projects)

To be honest I didn't know someone uses that 14.1 build. Further builds will not have that issue with spen in landscape mode. I have now working 15.1 build except gps. I don't know what's wrong with it on wifi model. I didn't hurry to upload because I thought nobody used lineage. I will cleanup build and will upload this week later.

i would also like to switch from my old weird stock rooted os to a newer version of lineage os. i have not encountered any bugs yet, so flashing a new rom is of no use if it does not add anything substantial to the experience (getting a rom to work usually takes some time, with bootloader problems etc). the not-rotating s-pen input was a no-go for me, since this tablet is my daily driver for lectures. if the lineage os 15.1 build really works, except for the gps (why would i even need that on a wifi model?), that would definitely make the switch worth it.

thanks a lot!

Thank you so much! As I already stated I realy like to get into development / testing of LineageOS for the T820. Since I have not much experience in this area it will take some time but hopefully I'll be able to join in on the development of LineageOS 15.1 for the 15.1 . Sorry if this ended up to hijack this thread. Thank you guys for your work!

S-Pen works?

Enviado do meu LG-H990 através do Tapatalk

Yes, but not in a reliable way, at least for me, meaning that while I write the pen suddenly stops working for a short trait, then it starts working again after a bunch of milliseconds. It does that, it seems, especially (or exclusively, I cannot say for sure) when I rest my palm on the screen while writing.

Hi

All apps seems to open first in portrait mode, then switch to horizontal. If held in horizontal mode.
This only happens if an app is already in memory.
Anyone else experience this, or has a fix?

Is this limited to a special area of your screen?

hello,
thank you very much @Valera1978 for your hard work and your unofficial lineage-15.1 build :)

Have you a link to the sources of the lineage-15.1 build for the T825 (device, vendor, kernrl)? The first post has broken links to the sourcetrees or very old for lineage-14.1. I would like to build my own rom with some modification and rr sources. Is was very helpful when i can use your sources.

Cu Frank

'schland

4: 20180615: June security patch level, selinux enforcing now, sound from sources (call working, one problem with sound from sources - only 2 bottom speakers now), add samsung softkeymaster for encryption:


Does that mean device encryption is working now?

Can anyone confirm problems (lags) with playback of certain videos (e.g. Arte, 9gag etc)?
