It doesn't seem like it. Truly pure android roms are only available for Google Nexus devices.
The next best thing is probably CyanogenMod roms but I don't believe there is a stable release of CM rom for the Tab S2 yet.

It's stable, just a few bugs.

I know they may have nightlies, but do they have a 'stable' release for the Tab S2? If so, can you please provide the link? thanks.

Yup, I'm aware of these thanks. I have an 8" and will be monitoring the 8" thread. It's still in "beta". I'd like to see a stable release, then I'll probably flash it. My Tab S2 is going to be my primary tablet so I have to have a stable daily driver. Once the kinks are all fixed, I'll be happy to switch over to CM12.1.

You and I know both these aren't official cm builds. But the rom is stable, as in useful for daily use, the performance is good, just aspect some bugs. I suspect you mean by not stable there ain't no official build.
BTW, do you know what nightlies builds are?

Yes, I understand what the ideal of nightlies is. It's the release of all combined fixes for the day. However, I've been with xda for long enough to know what nightlies really are. They often time cause as much trouble as they fix. So I stick to stable releases. I have past the time when I would flash rom on a daily or weekly basis.
For example, on my OnePlus One, there is an official 'Bacon' CM rom section.
http://get.cm/?device=bacon&type=
There are Snapshots, Nightlies, and Experimentals.
The snapshots are what I would consider stable releases. Some may refer to these as milestones.
http://get.cm/?device=bacon&type=snapshot
That's kind of what I'm looking for. I'm looking for a milestone, stable release.
I don't mind that the port for the Tab S2 is unofficial. But I do want to wait until the person whose working on this port releases a version that's not in beta anymore. I assume there are good reasons as to why he still has his project in beta status. Specifically, I notice that "microphone" is still listed as something that's not working. The use of the microphone is important to me as I often use voice Google Now for queries. So I'd like to wait until all these bugs are fixed before I root my Tab S2 and install CM.
If the beta works for you, great, more power to you. :good:

Hello,
When this android 5.0, will be to our devices?
e.g. CM12, unofficial ports or other rom
Android Kitkat 4.4 was released last year on 31st October 2013, laufersteppenwolf's CM11 thread was started in december 2013. That's less than 2 months.
There might be issues we don't know yet, it takes a while. The Android 5.0 source code is not even fully released yet. I'm sure it will come to our device, be patient
yes, but this is an exception because it was released much earlier version for developers

Yes, however. They did not release the full source code git and it was a dev image for the Nexus 5, it would take a lot of work just to port the dev image. It could be done but a lot of work.
In 2 days the official SDK is available
whats nwes about lolipop for our devices?

Can't agree more!
As stated here http://www.xda-developers.com/android/android-lollipop-next-batch/
a few devices which are not as powerful as the LG OPTIMUS 4X HD (Moto G, Xperia L, LG L9) have received an android 5.0 lollipop build, so nothing is impossible
As far as i know, LG L9 which also received a build has similar software with our phone so devs can help eachother with small tweaks to make it happen

Im running CM 11 nightly "11-20141113-NIGHTLY-p880" so the nightly built on Nov. 13th. And I do not think that I have ever used a smoother build. I have had no problems with this build. So IMO, we already do have stable CM11.
LG L9 have nothong in common with our device (processor,GPU,camera,etc..) Also it 99% depends on developers.

Sorry for this stupid question but I can't really understand it from the official cyanogenMod website. I am trying to understand the real stability of snapshots releases. I would like to install it but I am not sure if I must wait a stable release. If I install a snapshot, can I update to the stable release when it's out without any trouble, possibly without re-flashing my device?

Snapshot is not actually really stable.
Nightlies are the one which are released daily. These build contains new untested features. These features are not known if they could damage the ROM in some way or could function properly. Thus the widely known label; unstable.
Snapshots however, are like the nightlies but quite different. Snapshots contained a quite mature features that was included in the previous nightlies. But this does not mean they are stable.
Stable; is.... just stable.
Thanks I got that from the website. I was actually wondering if i install a snapshot it is easy to switch to a stable and, maybe, if I am noticed and I get the option to upgrade without reflashing.
CM11 has only Developer and Release versions (nightlies and snapshots, respectively). Developer channel releases are mainly unstable, have untested and experimental functions and features and 24h cycle. Release are stable (for the most part), tested, nearly everything works (properly).

Im tired of seeing these Note 7 roms and I want to relive these Cyanogenmod days but Cyanogenmod is dead. Is there a possibility that there is a way we can get developers to build a rom for the superiour Note 4? I like Lineage OS because of its OTA function that releases bug fixes and updates. Im not offending anyone or anything... Its just not my taste. Thanks
I second this. I think the closest were going to get at this point is https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-verizon/development/emotionos-t3528639

It seems too buggy but if we are begging around XDA probably a team will join and build it. Soooo lets do that.
It's this unofficial build, which it's currently on my note 4.

But I have problems with network recognition.
It doesn't read my sim card.

As many of you heard, android 8 has now been officially released. I will be working to get an AOSP version working on the 7" LTE tablet, I have heard that there may be significant HAL changes so it may take some time. I have just released the august update for the SM-T285, I've been also working to get a stable repo out for this device in the last couple of weeks. Anyway wish me luck.
Update 08/24/2017 - I was able to download the 8.0.0_r4 aosp sources and got it to compile the modified device tree. There seems to be significant changes with some HAL libraries, vendor specific libs are now moved to its own place in the system image. Will now proceed to actual testing and porting.

Great! Is there ANY chance you wil make an extra effort to release this for the SM-T280 also?
AFAIK the only difderence is LTE versus WiFi only [emoji4] ?

I won't be directly developing for the T280 sadly. There may be subtle differences at the kernel level and some components (e.g. GPS, touchscreen) which prevents ROMs for the T285 from working with the T280. However my work with the T285 should greatly speedup development for the T280 once the first custom ROMs arrive.

I remember some people tried on my CM/Lineage/Omni based roms on their T280 and it failed to boot, though I can't tell the method they used to flash those ROMs so it is possible that their methods are incorrect. As for stock ROMs this is new information for me if that is the case. I am unable to verify these as I don't have a T280, though if there is a dev who would like to try if would be nice.

my oreo build isn't usable at the moment, wifi doesn't work and you can't turn the screen back on after turning it off. Trying to figure out if this is a LineageOS issue or a hardware issue takes too much time, I'm waiting for the first official builds of Lineage OS to start rolling out before I spend more time on this.
Bacoor,
I've just bought a Galaxy Tab A6 LTE (SM-T285) and haven't rooted or done anything to an android phone in over 5 years. Feeling Green as hell! I'm back to being a newbie. Any suggestions you can offer to me on a guide and which TWRP and Android I should install on my phone. I'll need some tutorial help as I feel uneasy. Last Time I did rooting and custom roms was way back on the HTC Hero and then the HP Touchpad to Cyanogenmod.
Well with Oreo comes project treble which does in fact mess with the HAL libraries a lot. Maybe that means there is hope the Galaxy Tab A Line will get "Treble-ized".
Good news if we are.

I am still on Android 5.1.x rooted, and probably only version for T285 which every feature is tested working.
Intended to upgrade to Android 6 or 7, but there isn't any stable firmware which is bug-free (ie. GPS and video recording).
Not optimistic on 8.0 being bug-free when the 6 and 7 not fixed after such a long wait (months).

I have a T285 and I want to test this rom where do I download it?
Hey developers. Can anyone help to develop an official lineage os build for redmi note 10 pro? Would appreciate it a lot at as the current unofficial build lacks stability.
The unofficial builds are 100% stable for me, personally I haven't had any problems with the ROM so far. But yeah, I hope we will get official builds soon, so we can at least get regular security patches.

stock camera crashes, altho its impossible that i use stock cam. Had some crashes during setup, which made me doubt the stability of the rom.
