Dear XDA friends, can someone do favor to develop Lineage OS for this model, although Galaxy Tab S2 confirmed to receive Android 7 officially. but lineage OS is great.
I thing this model is not enough familiar yet.
Why is this model so neglected???
is it working with Lineage OS ROM gts28vewifi?
twrp name for sm-t719 is gts28velte ; neither the 10 inch version (gts210velte aka. sm-t819) nor this one are supported.
the wifi versions gts28vewifi (sm-t713) and gts210vewifi (sm-t813) are very similar to their lte versions, with exceptions of lte, battery, and screen ppi.
my mom just got an sm-t719 stuck on august nougat patch, so I started looking (she lives in a different country and is not very technical, experimenting with roms remotely just to keep her stuff safe is not very practical), but if I was there I'd start by loading twrp and using it to back everything up, and then trying the gts28vewifi of lineage. (as staoddo suggested above).

As much as I vowed I would never get a single Lenovo product again, I recently realised what a fool I had been by accusing the recently released kernel sources for the Lenovo Tab 4 8 Plus of being incomplete without considering anything on my end such as gcc version. I realised that my gcc version simply wasn't able to compile the kernel sources right now because kernel compilation is working fine in an Ubuntu 16.04 systemd container vs the Ubuntu 18.04 host and containers where it errored out at topology.c. Now that we can compile kernels for the Lenovo Tab 4 8 Plus, I'd love to see some custom kernels and ROMs for this tablet. It looks like it could become a good replacement for the aging Nexus 7 (2013) which even community support has to end for at some point. I'm currently downloading the LineageOS 15.1 source and am also compiling the kernel for the Tab 4 8 Plus at the same time. If I can get this kernel booted on Lenovo's Oreo ROM, then I may be able to see what I can do on porting LineageOS 15.1 and even 16.0 to this tablet.
How it's going?
Nice!
Any progress?
Any thing new about this tablet.amazing hardware but no more custom roms and kernels...please some one guide me how to do that(porting room
Thanks
I am working on porting a similar tablet, but am stuck on a build issue. Looking for someone to help!
This is what I'm stuck on:

Any opinion?: firmware choice: Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 SM-T810 [moved from Android General Q&A]
I'm looking for best bets for choosing a good firmware update for this older SM-T810 tablet that I still like. It is Wifi-only.
The tablet recently got very flaky on Android 5 so I let it install an auto-downloaded image for Android 6. The new image probably came from Samsung since I was told at purchase that device had official Samsung firmware for Android 5.1.1. (see ABOUT DEVICE below)
Things got worse using the new Android 6 image, so bad that I'm ready to install new firmware by sideloading.
1. Since the device was rooted by prior owner (see: DEVICE HISTORY below for details) I am guessing I have little to gain by sticking with an official Samsung image--unless nothing else works. Does that sound right? And, does anything prevent me from going the non-Samsung route?
2. If it makes sense at this point to try a non-Samsung image, my question for folks here boils down to this: where am I likely to have the best luck finding a build that will work well on the device? For example, I wonder
who are the most experienced makers of firmware for this older tablet?
and which version of Android--7 or 8? Should I avoid 8 or go for it?
(I've seen an unofficial Lineage OS build for Android 8. I believe that Android 7 builds exist, too.)
Thanks for any suggestions.

(I've waited so long to update because a) I seldom use the tablet and b) seller said that he'd had problems with a German Nougat and had reverted to official Android 5.1.1. )

[DEVICE HISTORY, as far as I can say:
I bought in 2017 on swappa.com. Seller told me "What you would get out of the box is the official Samsung OEM firmware for Android 5.1.1 (XAR-T810XXU2BPB1-20160323135521) with the official Samsung recovery. Updates will apply without issue, either by directly loading with Odin or SmartSync, or doing an OTA firmware update....It is running pure stock firmware now. Since it was rooted at one point, the Samsung Knox flag is tripped. It's the only thing that would distinguish this device from a new-in-box tablet."]
Linesgeos 15.1 Oreo is about the best you can get on gts210eifi.

Thanks. I didn't know it had GTS210 gpu.
Notebookcheck.net and Wikipedia show it as ARM Mali-T760 MP6.
Whatever, Lineage OS 15.1 doesn't seem to have any serious competition. Hope it works when I try it--first time jitters!
I got N on mine for a long time. Now I get O 15.1 linesgeos now. It looks like the best for gts210wifi for now.
When plz

T715 (wich i own unfortunately), is way too old (2016 model). It hasn't been updated to oreo what could let you think that suddenly Samsung would update it to Pie and One UI? No way that this will ever happen. However, there are also good news, ripee, a great developer, has built Lineage OS 16 (Android 9) compatible with T715. You can try it if you want, it should support substratum. And if i'm correct, you can download some themes to make the tablet appear as "One UI".
I would like to prolong the life of my Tab S2 SM-T719 (8 inch LTE, 2016), which is running Android 7, not rooted
I have done a fair bit of reading through the various threads, but I have a couple of questions about the install
- apologies if these questions have been asked before
- and also if this is in the wrong thread / forum
1) How to find out what is fixed and what is working
At the beginning of the thread
[GUIDE/TUTORIAL/HOWTO] Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 stock to Android 10
[GUIDE/TUTORIAL/HOWTO] Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 stock to Android 10 [GUIDE/TUTORIAL/HOWTO] Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 (models SM-T713, T719, T813, T819) stock to Android 10 Q / LineageOS 17.1 Supported models: - SM-T713 (gts28vewifi) - SM-T719...
forum.xda-developers.com
there is a warning
### Camera doesn't work, 3G/Data network doesn't work
I currently use the Tab S2 as my mobile phone (both over 4G and with WhatsApp calls) and also with the App PolarSteps to take pictures when travelling
- so both of the 'Not working' items are crucial
In general, is there a way to find out what is working and what is not fixed without trawling through the 50 odd pages in
[ROM][UNOFFICIAL][10] LineageOS 17.1 [T713][T719][T813][T819]
LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android, which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device. All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS...
forum.xda-developers.com
Specifically, with the latest build
a) is the camera working ?
b) can I make calls over 4G ?
c) can I make WhatsApp calls ?
2) How to recover a bricked phone or revert
The disclaimers say 'not responsible if you end up bricking your phone' - which is fair enough
However, is there any help or a HOWTO revert to a stock Android in the event of a bricked phone
- or even if I just change my mind and want to go back to the original Samsung Android ?
I found the following article for the Tab S2 10 inch LTE or 8 inch wifi (couldn't find anything similar for Tab S2 8 inch LTE)
Install LineageOS on gts210ltexx | LineageOS Wiki
wiki.lineageos.org
Install LineageOS on gts28vewifi | LineageOS Wiki
wiki.lineageos.org
in which there is a section
Installing a custom recovery using heimdall
Is this a recovery process or part of the actual LineageOS installation ?
Thanks to all who have contributed to the development, for reading this and any suggestions
I've done a bit more reading and now better appreciate the install process
For query 2 I now understand the need for the custom recovery
Any help with identifying which issues still exist would be appreciated - particularly
### Camera doesn't work, 3G/Data network doesn't work
its been a few years since i modded a phone. i recently got my hands on a used samsung galaxy note 8 {factory unlocked/no carrier} with a snapdragon processor.
model # SM-N950U1
Im searching around this forum but most of the info is for exynos processors.
i need to unlock the bootloader and root so that i can install
LineageOS 19.1.how can i do this?
The snapdragon version is called the "greatqlte". You can root it via twrp, but I'm not sure about custom rom support, and definitely not lineage19.1.
The snapdragon version has basically no support on xda. Someone posted a question similar to yours a while back.
too bad , its still a good phone, whats the highest version of android i can install ?
I don't think there are any roms.. I think I saw an oreo one, but you're probably better off sticking to oneui on android 9, which is stable (unlike the oreo build).
You can still root and debloat/customise your phone via magisk modules etc.
