[ROM][T320][T325][Android 13] Unofficial LineageOS 20.0 Nightlies Tab Pro 8.4 Wifi/LTE (mondrianwifi/lte)

[ALEX_ANDER]

Adoptable is not working. only crash occurs. Tried different things but haven't much time to look at it.
microg is included in the new build.

Thank you! I really appreciate your work.
Damn - the adoptable storage thing makes me a little nervous.
I wish I could help you with that.
Is there anything you can take from LOS 19??? It worked great there. Or maybe it would be helpful to look at the programming of another LOS 20???
Hmmm who could help us with this!?!?

....however, I am sure we will solve this problem as well.

Updated yesterday my T325 to version 20230122 OTA.
Working as described for previous versions before.

Please tell us why this is a problem?

You can not just delete (I think you mean uninstall?) a system app.
Afaik you have to uninstall them using ADB.
here, but beware of:
Uninstalling some system apps can be dangerous and may result in force closes or even a bricked device

How much RAM do they use when you didn't start them?

The word problem is misleading. It's not a system problem. They work fine, but there isn't even a "disable" option. So I want to delete it. I deleted audiofx folder in /system_ext/priv-app folder via root explorer. Is there any way to recover it? After deleting that one the icon doesn't seem to show up in the app listIt is now in a strange state that is neither deleted nor intact.

This version is all amazing and gives good efficiency
Infinite thanks to the developers who made this

I have a few questions.

1. It has improved a lot compared to the previous version, but I'm still worried about WIFI connection stability. I wonder if I'm the only one experiencing the occasional disconnection problem. There was no problem with other connected devices, so it is not a problem with my WIFI environment.

2. It is a problem of resolution when designating the wallpaper. When one side is optimized, problems with the ratio and quality occur on the other side. I would like to ask if it would be impossible to update the desktop to be able to designate the desktop horizontally and vertically respectively.

3. Is it not possible to display the notification dot next to the icon as a badge number on this operating system? Currently, chat message number badges are not displayed other than notification points.

Has happened to me too, but I don't remember it happening recently tbh. I think it started happening on the Valera pie build (was previously on lineage nightly marshmallow).

AFAIK you can only get a dot without a number on the default launcher. You could also get another launcher.

Are there any T320 (Tab Pro 8.4) users here? This is an old device. Is there a way or purchase route to improve current battery efficiency? The speed consumption is very fast compared to the very slow charging speed.

I second all praises to the ROM developer(s)!

A few comments about the taskbar.
- The true state of taskbar after a fresh rom install is not correctly reflected in System->Buttons. This is a minor nitpick. The reason mentioned here - to note that in that initial state the enabled navbar doesn't disable the physical nav buttons, so both on-screen and phys buttons are working.
- After onscreen navbar had been tweaked once, apparently there is no more way to have physical buttons enabled if the navbar is also ON. This is not a big deal in itself, yet sets up a more pronounced usability issue below.
- The dependency of the taksbar on navbar makes it impossible to use the task bar with physical nav buttons (see above; yes i know of the gestures - nah...). And that dents usability. The taskbar is looking increasingly like a good idea. Particularly in anticipation of the taskbar redesign and the intriguing desktop mode in 13 qpr2 where these features maybe inter-operating. After a bit of research, it seems the dependency between the nav- and task- bars in this rom is not the original design idea, which I believe is to have them controlled by a user independently. Not sure if this is a lineage or this port's thing. If the taksbar can be controlled independently of the on-screen navbar, it would remove a taskbar usability barrier.

Fwiw, a separate soapbox... it would be a thrill if a usable desktop mode comes to this tab (android 13 highlight). This venerable tab is on its last legs, yet if it can pull it off and if android catches up feature wise - it will be a wow! The samsung desktop is superb, I'm a minor shareholder in home s8 tab, it runs in desktop more than half the time b/c the desktop is that good.

thanks for the answer There is a problem with wifi intermittently dropping. I agree. I wonder if this can be solved... Nevertheless, the usability of this rom is the best. I noticed by you that the default launcher doesn't support number badges. However, it seems difficult to consider another launcher. Because this is an old device and can't be free from battery. It seems like there's more to lose than number badges.

Can anyone confirm screen cast wireless display is working for them on a real tv? For me my tv won't work but casting to windows does. I'm wondering if the tv is being more particular about getting everything right.

Might be nice to have a full list of known bugs.

• App not responding message will repeat until you select close, even if app starts responding
• Video decode problems (youtube 720p30 max, gallery can't playback screen recordings)
• Adoptable storage
• Occasional Wifi dropouts
• Device slow shortly after boot
• Potential sim recognition problem (1 report)
• Occasionally stuck on lockscreen with either display off or no input (less frequent in Feb build?)
• Some stats are wrong (checked with devcheck, SOC temp stuck at 37C, charger connect count stuck at 188, charge counter -2147483)
• Some wallpaper problem?
• Navbar config
• MHL freezes screen

Probably missed some things. And can I get a second conformation on the app not responding and lockscreen thing in case I changed something?

1. Screen transmission to the TV through the screen transmission icon on the top bar is normal. However, transmission to the TV through the MXPLAYER's transmit button failed. I don't know if this problem is an application problem or an OS basic program not installed problem. 2. Intermittent Wi-Fi disconnection is an important problem that I have been experiencing consistently since the last version of Lineage OS. It's usable, but it looks like it needs improvement in some way. 3. I did not understand what the decoding problem was. However, due to Widevine L3, several Widevine quoted OTT services run only at low resolution. I don't know if this is due to the original device's unsupported problem, or due to bootloader release and custom OS installation. 4. I've seen some people mention issues with adoptable storage, what usage issues exactly do they mean? I'm using SD memory, but I'm not sure what the problem people are referring to is specifically. 5. The background screen problem has not changed since the previous version, but the ratio and quality change when changing the landscape mode after designating the wallpaper in portrait mode. Personally, I would like to support the option to set the landscape mode wallpaper and portrait mode wallpaper separately.
I've listed a few things that come to mind, but these are my hopes. I already have enough infinite gratitude and respect for the developers who supported the development of this OS.

Top bar cast was what I was trying. Maybe my tv doesn't like the resolution or something.

However, due to Widevine L3

Widevine L3 is common for custom roms. But youtube and your own screen recording shouldn't use drm. This should be a separate problem.

4. I've seen some people mention issues with adoptable storage, what usage issues exactly do they mean? I'm using SD memory, but I'm not sure what the problem people are referring to is specifically.

You are probably using it as just a separate storage. Adoptable storage makes it act as your internal storage and allow compatible apps to be installed on the sd.

Good evening!
I bought a Tablet Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 model T320 1 month ago and it already came with lineageos 19.1, but it consumed a lot of battery. With 100% charged, it lasted about two hours watching videos or surfing the internet. I switched to lineageos 20.0, did all the cleanup and formatted data, but still the problem remained. Followed method one on that site, but it didn't work:

I installed the ampere and I'm monitoring. What I noticed, the battery drains and the tablet turns off after 2 hours of use (0%), I restart without charging, it returns with 20% on average, I use it until it reaches zero and I plug the charger with the tablet off and leave it for a few minutes it returns with a 30% charge. It looks like the battery is out of calibration.

1. which Gapps Version you have installed?
2. Was it a clean install ? Or dirty flash ?
3. You have to recalibrate the battery
4. How old is the battery?

@Kakakrroto
Try a new clean install with fully charged battery

1. which Gapps Version you have installed?
BiTGApps-arm-13.0.0-v1.8_signed

2. Was it a clean install ? Or dirty flash?
Clean install with all cleaning (cache, data, system etc), and data formatting.

3. You have to recalibrate the battery
I used this method:
1. Discharge your phone fully until it turns itself off.
2. Turn it on again and let it turn itself off.
3. Plug your phone into a charger and, without turning it on, let it charge until the on-screen or LED indicator says 100 percent.
4. Turn your phone on. It's likely that the battery indicator won't say 100 percent, so plug the charger back in (leave your phone on) and continue charging until it says 100 percent on-screen as well.
5. Unplug your phone and restart it. If it doesn't say 100 percent, plug the charger back in until it says 100 percent on screen.
6. Repeat this cycle until it says 100 percent (or as close as you think it's going to get) when you start it up without it being plugged in.

4. How old is the battery?
I don't know, I bought the tablet a month ago, it could be original. In my country the device was launched in 2015.

Where can I buy quality new products? Although there are products on AliExpress, it is difficult to find products in reliable condition. Are there large-capacity batteries?

On T325 battery matters, I bought and replaced the battery (T4800U T4800E) with a US$10 version from Aliexpress. Before battery replacement on KitKat4.4, it will bootloop whenever the original battery falls to 80%, and 100%->80% can only last 30mins of use. This is the EOL experience in Nov 2020 for a battery that has been in use since Aug 2014.

After battery replacement, with LineageOS17/18.1+ BitGApps, the standby decline was only -2% overnight (12h), with wifi+data off. Normal usage was -10% for 24hrs, bearing in mind, my normal usage includes turning wifi+data off when not in use. Only SIM (calls/sms) is active 24/7. After about 3 years in 2023, the battery decline profile is still -12% for 24hrs as above. So I am very happy with the US$10 spent, it was labelled as original Samsung battery but I did not believe it then.

There were some battery usage data from the 17/18.1 Valera1978 thread that gave similar data points. BitGApps was then concluded to be least battery draining.

Was it difficult to change the battery? I found it in my country (Brazil) through the MercadoLibre platform with better prices than Aliexpress (and faster for being in the country).

See the YT Video

It takes max. 10 min. Time to change, if you tried it the first time.

There are many T320/T325 battery replacement videos on youtube, I watched several before attempting it. It was good because they show you all the points to pry open the tab and the screws location and the latch.

For me, I bought the $10 "Samsung" battery with very low expectations, so I was definitely surprised on the upside.
