Hi everybody,

On my S3 I am getting from time to time a lethargic moment where apps no longer launch and buttons stop responding. Then it starts blinking with color bands across the screen until it naturally soft (?) restarts.
Annoying for the blinking part but no big deal if nothing suffers from it. Just not sure if it is solved in the newer LOS version or newer kernel ? (and not sure if @masdaster's newer build is sm-t825 only or if it would be okay on sm-t820).

Any idea/pointer welcomed :)

Thanks for the heads up. I may have to switch back to an earlier build then. Not having realiable wifi is a not good enough for me.

Hmmm. OK will look into that. I have my router set up so 5 and 2.4 are on the same channel, then the device selects which frequency to connect to. But to be fair ive not experienced this problem with other lineage builds. Ive had a bout 8 Samsung S5`s, currently 6 Galaxy tab S3`s, i have a oneplus 7 pro on lineage, and A galaxy S3 and a samsungs A54. I will try it out, if it doesnt resolve will have to shift to earlier build of Lineage..Ive never been bothered about latest or greatest just as long as it works. wifi drops aint good enough.

Have you get an version that the wifi works well?
For me the wifi plague is a constant in all versions.

HI onolox,
Sorry i never got round to changing to a different build. I have more pressing RL issues. im kind of relying on the coders to fix this. Not something i can do. Im patient.

I had zero problems installing this rom along with NikGapps-omni-arm64-12.1-20220413. I also installed Magisk 26.1 by patching the boot.img. The rom is stable and fast. My only problem is with the microphone/speakers not working during voice calls (and the video being messed up). Hopefully these will be getting fixed at some point. Is it possible that the microphone is simply somehow muted in the code?

Has anyone actually been able to return a Tab S3 back to stock? Sadly i tried this ROM on my soft bricked Galaxy tab S3 T820 and it seems to have had no effect, I can still reach it via odin3 though...since there are minimal directions other than "flash the rom" i put the files on the external SD and restored the recovery and then the boot but on reboot nothing happens and TWRP no longer launches when selecting recovery.

Yes, several times on T825.
Done it like @UweRammelt wrote.

Best to do is store them in the same PC folder where you started Odin from.

BUT why do you expect a working TWRP when you deleted it by flashing stock ROM??

Thank you, I've done that countless times. Not sure what i could be doing wrong. I'm selecting the below for my order. I've also done it with CSC and CP swapped and without CSC. I see it downloading, then PASS! in Odin and then reboot and it back to the download screen. IF I wipe to factory reset, it wipes, asks me if i want to enable read write or read only, I select leave as is. and I am back at TWRP.

Looks like I am using the wrong original Samsung firmware. If I recall , the tablet was purchased either directly from Samsung or as a package from Verizon. I am using SM-T820 for XAR which is Cellular South but should be using either XAA or VZW.. I cannot find either.

    # 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.

    • Camera somewhat buggy
      • The built-in camera application (Camera2) is not working well. You can use another camera application like OpenCamera

        • If you are using the first version (220320), you have to clean install to this version or you may fail to unlock the screen , you have to boot into TWRP and remove the file `locksettings.db` under `/data/system` directory. This will resolve the unlock failure issue after dirty-flashing it.

    Hello all,

    After numerous tries, I could fix the camera and the Bluetooth/Headphone jack audio working.

    The camera is back, but still has some bugs, unfortunately.
    First, we can't use the default camera app, Camera2. It takes a shot but the result is cracked. But we can use a third party app like OpenCamera.
    And, there is something weird on the Torch. After using the camera with the flashlight, sometimes the Torch tile on the quick settings is broken, it just said "camera in use". But we still can use the camera.
    Lastly, sometimes the camera doesn't work at all after rebooting. Fortunately, it is easily fixed by rebooting again. I don't know why it is well.

    Now our audio HAL is built from the source. Previously, we were using audio HAL version 4.0 which is for Android 9 but now we're using version 6.0 which is for Android 11. I can move on to version 7.0, yeah, which is for Android 12, but from this version the configurations have to be modified in many ways so I just pended it.
    I had to supplement some audio configurations because of the compatibility of each version, maybe some audio scenarios were broken compared to our LineageOS 18.1. But I confirmed for most used scenarios like the quad-speaker, Bluetooth audio, headphone jack, and wireless display audio, so in most cases it will work well.

    I think, we can deprecate our LineageOS 18.1 now because our LOS 19.1 has no fewer features than LOS 18.1. :)

    The new version of LineageOS 19 is uploaded now.

    This version has upstream LineageOS changes that comes with Android 12.1 r22, and a fix for Keystore to use hardware encryption in Samsung way properly.

    In the first LineageOS 19.1 version, it uses some special files from the other partition but for some reason, it broke the boot sequence because of the delay and the permission issues. So I broke the loading of that special files and it would fix that boot failure problem.

    Now, thanks to @masdaster , I can fix the boot failure and finally we can use the proper hardware encryption.

    Thank you, and please note that the changelogs to fix the lock screen issue caused by changing the Keystore method.
