[ROM][UNOFFICIAL][matisse][millet] LineageOS 16.0

[matteo0026]

LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 9 (Pie), 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.

Instructions :

• Download the latest build and gapps (ARM, 9.0, I advice pico package)
• Boot to recovery
• Flash the latest build
• Boot to recovery again
• Flash gapps
• Reboot

Known issues :

• Videocalls via Hangouts, Meet, Duo and Zoom work with any problem, Skype and Jitsi apps have not working cameras if used with latest versions. Use the following versions, which you can download from apkmirror: Skype: 8.15.0.430 - Jitsi: 20.3.2 (which are for Android 5.0+ instead of 6.0+). Skype Lite isn't working at all, even if it has minimum Android version requested of 4.0.3.
• Magnetic cover doesn't trigger magnetic sensor (it works, but it's too little sensible).
• Some minor issues with YouTube app (sometimes, after skipping ads in a video, you'll get just a grey screen - close and reopen video to fix the issue)
• In matisse3g and millet3g SIM isn't working
• In NU variants, IR feature is half implemented

Downloads :

• matisse (10.1) devices: https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=304073
• millet (8.0) devices: https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=304074

Failed to flash

Hi I am running into an issue flashing your rom in recovery. I have TWRP 3.0 flashed and when I flash your rom I get the following error:
E: unknown command [log]
Updater process ended with ERROR: 7
Error installing zip file /sdcard/lineage-16.0.20200108-UNOFFICIAL-milletwifi.zip

I have redownloaded the rom multiple times to verify that the zip isn't broken. I am flashing it on a SM-T230NU that is rooted as well.

But your device is neither millet (t33* series) or matisse (t53* series) so it is not compatible

Thanks a lot for the ROM! 1st was trying to get the LightningFastRom running but ended up in a bootloop to recovery with the Lineage 16 versions.
Then got to the Telegram channels and saw there that you opened that thread @xda here and gave it a shot.

After a clean install I am really happy especially because the phone part works!
Not tested Skype yet and Camera is not really the burner anyways
Even so, any idea if there is a working Google Camera Mod available?

One thing I figured out: the tablet does not go to sleep/shuts down the display anymore if I close my cover (magnetic one). Any idea how to solve that?

Again thank you very much!!!

 

[Winroque]

Everytime I try to install it with gapps I get a booloop in T530. I'm flashing ARM 9.0 Nano, is this correct?

Edit: NVM, just took longer to boot. Working flawlessly.

 

[Advanced07]

Nice dude!

Wow even though the tablet is old you actually made it happen! My tablet is now pretty useless so i can test this for you Good job dude

Great work first off...
I have reflashed a number of times:
1. os, 2. reboot to recovery, 3. flash gapps, 4a. flash su enabler for lineageOS (was not compiled with ‘export WITH_SU=true’) or 4b. even magisk.
Reboot, setup - enable root for apps/adb via developers tools. Works : but something stops it from going forward and 'sticking' then the app reverts to non-SU state and says Root not available.
I have searched, I have found little on this... any help would be appreciated. If there is an 'easy' way then great but many things are not ever so easy.

Thanks in advance...

*Edit*
It has something to do with more than just the ROM or flashing, on any 7.1.1 it is the same... not sure where to go from here.
SU can be installed and openly visible, even works for seconds and then KNOX? or Some other protection brings it back to unavailable.

**Final Edit**
Sorry everybody, I have not rooted since Gingerbread... I was getting rusty.
All is good, I only needed to mount /system as RW to copy my hosts file into place. I feel a bit silly.
@matteo0026:
Really great work, this tablet is doing GREAT with your ROM and TWRP. Thank you for taking the initiative!
Keep up the Community Love!

Has anyone had a problem with the milletlte/tmoT337T or T335 going directly into safemode after installation. It happened to me on LOS 14, 16 and the latest 20200110 build.
Thanks.

 

[mrk2815]

how do media apps work on the rom.any issues.also do plan on using the rom on the device as i have no longer bought tablets in a while.most of these devices have been phone as they have better performance then the mid ranged priced tablets.

Are you sure that you installed latest firmware before installing this ROM?

What do you mean by media apps? Make practical examples, please.


Anyway, I'm going to build and upload new builds with security patches updated to February 2020. So, new builds start from today, 21st February. I can't build and upload all the builds fast because I'm using a medium-range laptop and an ADSL connection at 1 Mbps in upload.

I'm on the last 5.1.1 that TMobile released for that Tab 4. But I'm glad for the response and I'll give the new builds a try. Thank you.

[mrk2815]

any plans to keep teh project going with monthly security updates or maybe think about a lineage 17.1 build to android 10 for the devices.just wondering. i have flashed and kept alot of devices alive through either official or unofficial builds of cm 12-14, to lineage 14.1 to 16.0 from all the way from samsung galaxy s2 to all the way up to nexus 6p and pixel XL. so i dont mind doing the work and learning. .

Don't do 2 messages. We are in a forum, so you have all the time to edit the old post.

Anyway, I don't think Netflix works, as other feedbacks told me (app can't be found on play store because of problems with safetynet I guess), but YouTube yes, of course.

I'll keep this build with security patches. Unfortunately, I haven't a good computer to build them and a good Internet connection to upload them, but I'll try to do all I can do.
Lineage 17.1 is already on the way (look at the LightningFastRom 17.1 by DJabHipHop), but it isn't as stable as lineage 16.0. Another thing is that I have a matissewifi, but I can't use it because the mobo is broken and probably requires a work of microsoldering. So, I can't test personally the builds...

Hi,
I´ve installed this rom on my Tab 4 10.1 wifi a few days ago and I´m really impressed. Thank you for your great work!
The rom is working smooth and stable in general. But there´s a problem with the Xiaomi Home app. I'm using this app to control my Roborock S5. Starting the app works fine. It´s even possible to log in or create a Xiaomi Account etc. But when I try to open the control panel of the Roborock S5, the whole system crashes while the app is downloading the map from the Roborock S5. The system reboots completely without any warning. This happens every time at the same moment. On other devices (Tablets, Phones) the app works without any problems. I had the same issue with another app that´s installed on the Tab 4 but it only happened once. I think, there´s some kind of a bug in the system. Is it possible to find and fix it?

As far as I can tell, everything else (accept the dark rear camera) is working fine.

EDIT: My Roborock S5 got an firmware update yesterday and now the app/Tab 4 doesn´t crash anymore.

Encryption isn't supported in my build of TWRP, so don't try to do that with LineageOS.
