For anyone interested, I am happy to start building unofficial LOS 17.1 for other devices that is supported by team infusion developers but I can't test for them since I don't have those devices. Additionally I don't have the knowledge to troubleshoot so if you're happy with that, then let me know which devices you need and I can build them.
Again, I'm only here to help with the build. I'm not a programmer nor developer so my knowledge is very limited. I just follow the steps I posted here and that's it:
Foreword: This is my own notes I created to build LOS for my device (SM-T713 or gts28vewifi). After reading this, I encourage you to create your own notes as it will help you better understand the build process. I followed the official guide...
A kind offer. I was just about to look at trying to do a build for the T813 (gts210vewifi), but i don't profess to have any knowledge of what i am doing, so your option would be welcomed!
As usual, please ensure you verify your download with the checksum prior to flashing the ZIP file.
Extra note:
For those with Bluetooth crashes, please follow instructions from post #1,241 to copy the "aptx-HD" files into their respective locations:
Code:
unzip the files in the aptx-HD.zip and copy it into that tablet's storage (i.e. /sdcard/)
adb root
adb remount
adb shell
# cp /sdcard/aptx-HD/lib64/* /system/lib64/
# cp /sdcard/aptx-HD/lib/* /system/lib/
# cp /sdcard/aptx-HD/vendor/lib64/* /system/vendor/lib64/
reboot your tablet
I installed 17.1 on my SM-T713 and it works very well thank you so much ripee!. My Galaxy Tab S2 is the 2016 model with the Snapdragon CPU. I was wondering if there is any way to undervolt the CPU? Does this kernel allow Undervolting? If it does can anyone refer me to an app that will work or any advise on how I can do it?
You can lower the core frequency with a kernel manager. I just set the big core around: 1,6 ghz and the little cores to: 1.1 ghz. The device is slightly colder when Web browsing. It also save some power with nearly no performance loss.
I am going to stick with 16.1 for now since I use the tablet with aviation apps. This particular tablet has always been relatively slow on the update for space vehicles. I am including a config file that I can confirm has made the that time quicker with 16.1 on SM-T713 with the 28vewifi lineage 16.1. Just replace .text with .conf and replace existing gps.conf in system/etc. I will get back to 17.1 in little while.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
(Please read them BEFORE posting anything in the thread!)
Q: The room is bootlooping the first time I attempt to boot into it after clean flashing. What should I do?[/COLOR]
A: Force reboot using the Power and Volume Down buttons. The rom will boot properly the second time around. This is a known bug and it affects clean flashes only.
Q: Whenever I try flashing any lineage-17.1 build, I get the following error in TWRP: Updater process ended with ERROR: 7
A: This error appears whenever you try to flash an Q-based rom within a version of TWRP older than 3.4. Simply flash the linked below version 3.4 or higher, reboot back into recovery, and flash the rom zip again.
Q: Will any of the variants ever receive official builds from LineageOS?
A: No.
Q: How often will new builds be released?
A: At least once per month: as soon as possible after each new Android security patch level is merged and whenever a new feature is added or a bug is fixed.
If your currently installed ROM is any version of either: stock Samsung TouchWiz, LineageOS, CyanogenMod, or any other custom ROM, you must perform a clean install of that LineageOS 17.1 variant, which corresponds to the model of your tablet!

Typically if you do not do a Clean Install then you are not allowed to report errors or problems. If you Dirty Install and you do have problems then you will be asked to Wipe All and Clean Install and see if the problems still exist. This is a DAILY changing rom and any bug that you found was not working on the previous day's build may be fixed with todays daily build. On a side note, the code implemented to fix that bug could potentially break something that worked on that previous build. So reporting problems on a day old build that you dirty flashed over whichever build of whichever rom you had flashed previously will not be accepted as a true error.
Problems known to happen after a Dirty Installation
1. A muddled up mess of a system. You are taking a rom and installing a newer rom with changes over the top of your old rom. Between these two periods of time during which you used your tablet and created data, changed system options, and used apps. This is absolutely increasing the risk of causing problems somewhere in the system/data partitions. Some people have luck with Dirty Flashing. However, it's always hit-and-miss because of what we mentioned above about bug fixes breaking previously working functions. Dirty flashing doesn't only create problems if the source code of the system data and the system settings of the new build are significantly different from those of your previous build. That's not to say that Clean Installing won't ever create problems, but only bugs present on a Cleanly Installed rom are relevant for development purposes.
* Clean Install: Fully wiping everything and installing the rom onto a fully clean system/data partition of the tablet.
* Dirty Install: Installing the rom and GApps over top of the older rom to save time and not have to reinstall all the user apps and tweaking system and app settings that usually take a lot of time to set up as you like.
Bugs
- The rom bootloops only after clean flashing. Force rebooting allows it to boot properly the second time and every time afterwards. See the FAQ's above.
- The cameras work, but with a delayed response, so they are impractical to use.
- T719 & T819: RIL does not work at all.
- You tell us!

So according to my download stats from the links I published above, there are twice as much downloads for SM-T813 (gts210vewifi) as there are for SM-T713 (gts28vewifi). Guess I'll build LOS 17.1 for both devices moving forward.
For those using the LTE version, and judging by the number of reported issues here, it's best to use LOS 16.1 which continues to see updated release from pitrus builds.
On the T813 this rom (Lineage 16...wifi) works very well. Charging does take a very long time. Possibly the quality of the battery? Thanks for this rom version 220421.
On the T813 this rom (Lineage 16...wifi) works very well. Charging does take a very long time. Possibly the quality of the battery? Thanks for this rom version 220421.
I have installed this ROM successfully, but the first few applications and games I have tried crash my T813 pretty often. I have even seen some spontaneous reboots ... but some apps and games run just fine.
How is the stability for you guys? Is there something I can check, or fix? Or should I try another ROM instead?
That is not possible for this ROM, i think. It needs a clean install! However, if you know where these specific files are stored, maybe you can make a backup. And then put them back?

The official TWRP for all four variants is built by TeamWin's servers from the outdated android-6.0 branch. A major bug in this branch is that mtp is broken, so I ran my own builds from the android-7.1 branch. I fixed hw encryption, which is why I bumped the version number up to "-2":
Since all ROMs got deleted and it looks like there won't be any new ones I decided to do something about this.
My T719 is still in perfectly good shape and it would be a shame to dump it to the landfill.
So I spend the last two days digging through Repositories and recreated the build processes originating from ripee's original post, giving these devices a second life.
