Is there a way to check if you installed the go version without reflashing? I think I did but I can't find any real difference so far, not even under about. Seems about the same on performance too.

thing is on the unofficial release of the 14.1 the same thing was said about it
the sm-t561 wasnt added which raised questions about it
same thing is happening here

i am using sm-t561 and i am running the lieneage 14.1 due to enough reaserch that gave me convincing info that it would work

Whether it works or not, the device is not supported on this thread, so any problems you may face after flashing an image meant for another device are your responsibility.

Not really. It's pretty subtle. You can check UI animations to confirm this ; Go should have simple or no animations compared to the normal lineage, which will have fancier animations.

New builds are up for gtelwifiue (20180822).

I'll leave the gtesqltespr builds to Emery, whenever he decides to fix them up and build them.

You can read the attached build changelog to see what changed this week (not a lot). I'll update the changelog on the second post later.

I need anyones help

First i'm sorry for the off topic post. The reason for posting here is because anyone with a ROOTED SM-T560NU can help me.
I have helped alot of people here over the years so i hope someone will return the favor. Any of you here should be able to help me.

I bricked my Tab and the only way i might be able to fix it is by making a bootable sd card.
In order to make the card I need the partition Layout....it is called "GPT".
The GPT is basically the same as the PIT file that samsung uses. Odin reads the .pit and writes the GPT to the device.
The GPT is the first 17407 bytes of the EMMC. If you open a command prompt in windows and use ADB just run the commands below.

Code:
adb shell
su
dd if= /dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/T560NU.gpt bs=1 count=17407

Line 1 above starts adb shell
Line 2 gets root permission
Line 3 copies the GPT data to a file called T560NU.gpt to the internal storage.

After running the commands unplug the usb cable and plug it back in.
Then using regular windows explorer copy the file T560NU.gpt somewhere and upload it for me.

Again very very sorry for posting here. Most people dont know what gpt is so if i start another thread the chances of someone helping me are about zero.

Thank you all very much

Hi! I have a gtelwifiue here. Everything works with the ROM except the sdcard. I think it is not being mounted with the correct permissions. It's a 64 Gb card formatted exfat, and it worked on the 14.1 builds. On 15.1 I need to be root to access anything on the card other than the 'Android' folder.

Hey is there a problem with the download server?? Nothing seems to start downloading tonight...
 
No. Look, read some before you ask a question.

This has been said already:
If the device is not on the OP or thread header, it means it is not supported.

It differing in name by a letter is simply superficial, it does not mean the devices are the same, or even close to similar in terms of hardware. And in this case, they are very much very different in terms of hardware. They are not compatible.

Looks like we have a fresh build here. Also, there is a separate thread for pie now. Need a few more people to hit the thanks button there.

Thanks for saving my severely crippled 560nu on 14.1

This piece of crap tablet is useable again now. Too bad the speaker is soooooooooo freaking bad.

New images are up for all devices. There are too many threads for me to update all the OPs forall of them, and no one reads those anyways.

A few changes/fixes i can remember:

- A lot of backend server and repo/device tree stuff that is not user visible, e.g cleaning up, rom support, e.g bringing dotOS, setting up github uploads and transferring artifacts there, etc.

- As a consequence, download server no longer hosts artifacts. Using the dl server will redirect to github releases, where the artifacts for most of the builds within the past ~ 1 year are hosted. Any builds before then were lost with the previous download server (s).


I've tried to issue builds for all devices and their variants within the last week. I haven't been well for a while, and working on this for this long continuously takes a lot out of me, so I'll be going on hiatus for an undefined period of time to rest, recover and take some me to focus on other things. Please don't PM me or mention me here or on telegram or email me, or contact me on github or wherever else i can be found, i really would like not to be bothered.


The server will remain up.

    LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 8.1 (Oreo), 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.


    Code:
    ** Disclaimer
    I am not responsible if flashing this ROM bricks your
       phone or causes thermonuclear war  and ends the
        world as we know it. You have been warned.


    ROM Information


    Device Names

    Verify your device codename before downloading any firmwares or recovery images!
    Code:
    [B]SM-T377P[/B] - [COLOR="DarkSlateBlue"][B]gtesqltespr[/B][/COLOR]
    [B]SM-T560NU[/B] - [COLOR="DarkSlateBlue"][B]gtelwifiue[/B][/COLOR]

    Download


    Instructions


    If you are completely new to flashing custom ROMs and have no idea how to begin, start by downloading a TWRP image for your device from the links above and flash it using the ODIN tool (see below).

    You cannot flash a custom ROM over stock recovery, so downloading a custom recovery is the first thing you will need to do.





    If you are completely new to flashing custom ROMs and have no idea how to begin, start by downloading a TWRP image for your device from the links above and flash it using the ODIN tool (see below).

    You cannot flash a custom ROM over stock recovery, so downloading a custom recovery is the first thing you will need to do.

    Installation via recovery (TWRP/LineageOS Recovery)
    * Download a recent .zip file from the links above for your device.

    * Reboot into recovery mode [Press Power+Volume Up+Home].

    * Wipe your data and cache partition (equivalent to doing a Factory Reset)
    if you are coming from a stock ROM.


    * Either: Plug in your phone into your computer, copy the zip file to a location on your Internal or External Storage on a device, click Install on TWRP on your phone and locate the zip file in the phone, or:

    * Plug in your phone into your computer, and open Advanced->ADB Sideload on TWRP on your phone and swipe the slider to enter sideload mode.
    Then open a command prompt/terminal on your computer in the folder you put the file by Shift-Clicking (Shift+Right Click) and selecting "Open Command Prompt/Terminal Here" (you will need to have adb installed) and type:

    adb sideload name_of_zip.zip

    to sideload the file. Replace name_of_zip.zip with the name of the file. If you are running Linux you may need to type adb kill-server and use sudo adb sideload if you get an `Insufficient Permissions` error.

    * Download and flash GApps in the same way.


    How to provide logcats

    Under Windows:


    Code:
    [B]* Install samsung device drivers and then
     the adb utils from here:[/B]
    
    [url]https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979[/url]
    
    [b]* Then enable developer mode, connect your phone to usb,
     and from [B]cmd[/B] paste this command:[/b]
    
    [I]adb logcat > %userprofile%/Desktop/logcat.txt[/I]
    
    [b]then try to reproduce the bug.[/b]
    
    [b]* The logcat file will be on your desktop.[/b]



    Under Linux:


    Code:
    [b]* Install the adb utils from your distribution's
     package manager and execute the command:[/b]
    
    [I]adb logcat > ~/logcat.txt[/I]
    
    [b]then try to reproduce the bug.[/b]
    
    [b]* The logcat file will be on your home directory.[/b]

    * Create a bug report at https://bugs.msm8916.com/ and paste the logcat there.

    * If you cant connect the device through adb on windows because the drivers, connect the device over wifi, enable adb over network on the quick setting tiles, and type:

    Code:
    adb connect [ip address here]

    And then the adb logcat command for windows.

    If this is your first time flashing O, you will need to install the latest unofficial TWRP image for your device from the links above before flashing a zip image, otherwise installation of a zip will invariably fail.

    Welcome back Vince! Your work for this tablet is mainly why I have it. If you need testing I'd be happy to help.
    Although I've been out of the flashing/dev game for 2.5 years.

    Just a few small things I've noticed with my testing with SM-T560NU:

    With GAPPS, at the end of the initial setup, it looks like it crashes the launcher and then loops back to select WiFi access point.
    workaround: skip wifi setup and google account until after it loads to the launcher.

    Opening Developer Options crashes Settings
    Related: Cannot connect tablet as MTP to computer because USB debugging is stuck on.
    Maybe Related: Cannot enable ROOT/SuperSU (unable to operate in xbin mode?)

    Occasionally a thick red boarder flashes around the screen.
    This is caused by the strict mode setting under the developer options. It flashes a red border around the screen when anything does a long operation on the main thread.
    likely workaround: Edit /system/build.prop and change the value of “ro.build.type” from “eng” to “user”
    Without ROOT, edit the build.prop from the lineage-15.1 zip file from your computer before flashing.
    You can still MTP mount from within TWRP if you need to transfer it.
