I am a bit confused: there are three builds of today, which one is the latest? The last one in the list? Or the one with the latest timestamp (but is not latest in the list)?

The latest timestamp is usually the last build. ;) (It's also linked from OP.)

Just installed the latest ROM. Seems we're getting close. The mic works but I have to hold it as close as possible to my mouth for the it to be heard. Might not be a bad thing when calling from a noisy place. Netflix and Hulu still don't work and I don't think they ever will until a build is made from the USA version. Not a biggie. I watch those two from home on my 40" monitors. Not on my tablets on the go.

Upper 5ghz wifi channels ARE working.

Thanks for the good work. I can actually test this out as a daily use ROM.

Ehm, we're building with cellular south rom blobs to get the wifi channels we want, that should be an US version. I'm collecting latest roms to check if there are some patches in the libs that are needed. Mic is working at normal level overhere (upped volume a bit), but there are patches being made on the call libs, so could be related to those. (work in progress)

Made sure I had the latest time stamp and tried again. Still have to get as close as possible to the mic in order to be heard.
Tried turning off root for Netflix and Hulu. Both still get stuck loading the stream you select to watch. Netflix just has the spinning "Loading" icon and Hulu pops up message saying "Buffering. Try selecting a lower resolution", even though the lowest setting is already selected.

logitech case fix

I have the logitech keyboard case for this tablet. Out of the box the app switcher key did not work. Here are my notes on making it work:
keypress scan code is 183
I used keyevent display to find this
Don't edit generic.kl!!! this locked things up, i had to revert!!!
What about a specific entry for this keyboard...
cat /proc/bus/input/devices
I: Bus=0005 Vendor=046d Product=b344 Version=0000
N: Name="TYPE - S Tab S2"
adb pull /system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl
cp Generic.kl Vendor_046d_Product_b344.kl
edit Vendor_046d_Product_b344.kl...
change
# key 183 F13
to
key 183 APP_SWITCH
adb remount
adb push Vendor_046d_Product_b344.kl /system/usr/keylayout/Vendor_046d_Product_b344.kl
adb reboot
now it works!

Other notes: I am on 20170129, and the mic works now, thanks!!!
Edit: Also boot animation is working for me.

Only problem I have currently is that I turn on bluetooth, but every time I reboot, the bluetooth reverts to off. I couldn't figure out how to fix this; I'm looking for any tips

We have F2FS in kernel, so it should be able to support it. I'd not (yet) added to the BoardConfig, need to check if that's needed or not. (I don't know yet if the option forces use of F2FS or just adds support)

@T_I

Getting rid of the red message on boot:

https://review.lineageos.org/#/c/159458

Do you think this will work, when it ever works on the S5, on this tab too?

I doubt that this will help in our build, as we use a cystom mkbootimg already, just a different one. Maybe a change in that tool will help. Will need to check the code of both tools.
BTW as soon as the build goes weekly/nightly, the warning will be gone, as then the build wil be enforcing without an option to set it to permissive.

Cool, will give it a shot after I update TWRP and report back.

Just to confirm, YouTube playback at greater than 720p res is supported now?

When it comes to updating the OS, can I flash the new one whilst retaining my data and apps? Or do I need to wipe and start fresh?

Thanks.

The fingerprint option is still missing in the Security settings; Netflix doesn't work either in build 10/2.

Netflix and latest rom

Hi TI,

Just done a clean install of your latest ROM.

Sorry to report that Netflix is not working for me. I have attached a logcat file. Hope that helps. Let me know if I can assist in any other way.

I really appreciate you perseverance with this issue as presumably you are not a Netflix user.

Regards
Paul

Wipe data from settings.apk, you'll see the fingerprint suggestion on top of the settings menu

That works, but that's the only place where the fingerprint settings appear, nowhere else in any submenu.

Edit: while the fingerprint setup does appear, the sensor must not yet be functional because my tablet doesn't detect any of my fingers.

Greetings, looking to install on my SM-T810. It is running Samsung's v6.0.1 is it ok to TWRP and install new ROM from that version or do I need to do something first? The steps did mention stock Android 6, so I wasn't sure if that was Samsung's or another ROM?

Thanks, can't wait to try it. Using LineageOS on my Axon7 and love it!

    This ROM is Beta and not ready for daily use at the moment​

    LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community

    First I would like to thank the following developers :

    I used @RaymanFX's T815 image to base my cm 13.0 build on, which in turn is the base of cm-14.1 and this lineage-14.1.

    Before you start

    THIS ROM IS ONLY FOR THE SM-T810

    Code:
     *
     * Your warranty will be voided !
     *
     * I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
     * thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
     * do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
     * before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
     * you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
     *

    • If you haven't run stock Android 6.x, flash that first with odin. (image won't boot without this step)

    • Download the ROM and the Gapps that are located below to your device
    • Reboot into TWRP by holding VOL UP + POWER + HOME on boot
    • In case things go wrong make a backup

    Special Thanks to @RaymanFX for releasing his Exynos 5433 source, and already patching the common sources to lineage-14.1, without him this ROM would most likely not be possible!

    At the moment we're working on gettingt the N blobs supported on all devices. @RaymanFX has everything working on T815. There should be no differences between the devices, but there are. (could be the wifi sources) We're working on it.

    Good to know O is running on the tab. I'm currently battling my build environment. Debian made some updates that breaks the build. (dusted off an old Ubuntu vm, that builds, but the build results in a non-bootable T710... or just one without screen) Working on it at the moment.

    Nice, @RaymanFX uploaded lineage-15.1 sources of gts2 devices. Building and testing...

    Cheers, any update on the fingerprint sensor? Seems to be fixed in aosp rom.

    Should be fixed in this rom as well, as we're using the same core modules, but I'm missing something... diving into it.
    Bootanimation had been 'kinda' fixed. Copied it from T813 build, where it is compiled correctly, and placed in the out dir for T810. OP updated

    Edit: Bootanimation permanently fixed, compiling with all fingerprint settings (forgot the blobs :rolleyes:).
