Actually, I did, and in fact I read those instructions before I made my first post. Unfortunately, those instructions assume that I already know how to unlock the bootloader and use Odin, hense my initial post asking whether there are more detailed instructions somewhere.

Well, I eventually got it installed, but then it got stuck during initial setup, but wasn't able to get through the initial setup.

When I booted up after installing both LineageOS and OpenGApps, I got the following

Getting your tablet ready...
Chose my network
Copy apps and data: Chose "Don't copy"
Just a sec...
Checking info...
Then I got a black screen.
After a while, I was able to get it back by pressing the power button, but then it just went back to "Checking Info", and then the black screen again.

Tried this with both "Stock" OpenGApps version and "Nano" version.

After struggling with this for a while, I gave up and re-installed the stock firmware (which was a bit of a challenge in itself).

I think the mistake you have made was that you flashed the ROM and opengapps together. The way to go is to flash the ROM. Then boot the tablet. Then reboot to recovery and flash ngapps for Android and 11.Then reboot the tablet again and follow the instructions. If you want root then you reboot it in recovery again and flash it to magisk 23.

You're right - I did flash LineageOS and then OpenGApps without rebooting in between.

Thanks very much for the suggestion. It may very well be that that will fix the issue, but I stressed myself out yesterday too much when I felt on the verge of bricking my tablet, and I don't think I am ready to do that to myself again just yet. Maybe I'll try it again at some point, but not right now. :)

I asked and the havocos forum regarding viper4android. Has anybody successfully installed it with this ROM? I have installed it in my t825 but it doesn't seem to change the speakers sound at all. I tried changing all the parameters with no success.

You can install a custom ROM using ADB sideload in TWRP. SD card is not necessary.

Turn on the ADB sideload mode in TWRP then enter `adb sideload rom_name.zip` command to flash.

First of all I would like to thank Awesometic for the excellent ROM. I have been using this ROM from the first day it was uploaded without any crashes. Everything works perfectly and I managed to pass safetynet test so my t825 is certified under magisk 23.
As a long term review now, I have to issues to report:
1) Every time I use OTG (with a flash drive) my WIFI does NOT function correctly, or does not function at all.
2) Quad speakers function all the time but it is my impression that the power coming out of them is less than 50% the original power, i.e. the power when the original ROM was installed.
Has anybody noticed similar issues, and if yes, does anybody know how to fixe them??

Was just about to test it but the stick wasn't correctly recognised.
Although just tested as usable in another device.
When trying to copy something onto it from the NAS using Total-Commander it just showed what's in the pic.
Properties rwx were the same as SD (770).
Format vFat might be the cause I thought so sitched to TWRP and formated as ext4.
Reboot - > system says problem with the stick (do I want to format?) so I did - > vFat.
Gave up but no WI-FI probs meanwhile.

Just another info: battery usage in deep-sleep (fmight-mode) turned on is brilliant ~0.1%/h.

I found the following in the internet to overcome the OTG problem and be able to use a stick right away. NOTE THOUGH that after this I had the problems with the WIFI that I mentioned in my previous message, only when having the stick plugged though, but I got used to it.... either WIFI or OTG....
So the procedure is the following:
use a terminal emulator and type su to become superuser ( you must be rooted to do this and I am via magisk).
While you are superuser type the command: sm set-force-adoptable true
Then press enter
That's it

    # LineageOS

    LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 11, which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.

    LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts. LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.

    All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit out Gerrit Code Review. You can also view the Changelog for a full list of changes & features.

    # How to install
    1. Unlock the bootloader.
    2. Download TWRP and flash the recovery image via Odin.
    3. Download LineageOS 18.1 for Galaxy Tab S3.
      • Be aware of the board name.
    4. Download GAPPS for Android 11 and the others you want to flash.
      • Only OpenGApps is tested. (open_gapps-arm64-11.0-pico-20210130-TEST.zip)
    5. Enter TWRP recovery.
      • The first boot to TWRP might be very slow because of the unmatched file systems.

      • You will type `yes` to do that.
    7. Flash the images.
      • If you're going to install GApps or something, you have to install the LineageOS first.
    8. Reboot the system.
    9. Done.

    # Known issues
    • Camera somewhat buggy
      • Sometimes the camera doesn't work after booting. You can fix that back by just rebooting
      • On webcam chat apps, there is a vertical green bar and the color is not properly displayed
    • OTG drives may show nothing even if it mounted
    • The side button on S-Pen is working but you must use the proper application that can handle the button event
    • Fast charging works (15W) but currently the kernel reports the wrong charging voltage and current
    • Thank all of you for the feedback

    Hi all,

    Finally, I can take a picture with my Tab S3 :)

    But still, there are some annoying bugs about the picture resolution, a flashlight behavior, ... but yeah it is usable when I take something using slightly lower resolution without the flashlight.

    Also, for now, both the LOS camera app and Snap camera are not working well while Open Camera and Google Camera seem to be working well.

    For now, the major problem is that if I use a flashlight in the camera app at least once, the overall GUI animations slow down even I closed the camera app.

    So, when I publish the camera fixed version, at least I will fix this most bothering thing even though I can't fix it all for the camera.

    Hello all.

    I uploaded the new version, including fixing the power-off mode charging.
    I'm using the LPM binary that is from Samsung for the power-off mode charging. When you plug in the charging cable while the tablet turns off, you can see the original charging screen you might see in the stock firmware. :)

    And I tried to fix the Bluetooth inputs and the OTG drives issues but I couldn't. I can reproduce these problems but I cannot find how to fix them for now. But I can confirm that the wired input devices are working such as a keyboard and a Playstation 4 controller.

    Please check out the first post of this thread. :)

    Great news here. The next release will include the fully-working quad-speakers. :D
    And I also have implemented the audio rotation codes for the screen rotation.

    Actually, I already have used it for about 3 days, and I think it looks working flawlessly.
    And, for the alternatives of the Dolby Atmos, I have tested with the Dolby Digital Plus module with Magisk and I can say that it is awesome. :cool:

    The new release will be uploaded before this weekend. :)
