If you have managed to root your phone with Magisk, getting updates after that for the stock ROM isn't always a smooth thing. Here are some steps to be successful with updates.
1. Open Magisk Manager and disable all installed modules by unchecking the circle for each.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Please note that steps 2-4 can be done with the stock 1+ updater so long as it senses that you are rooted and offers to download a full rom. So a note about magisk hide which is used to hide root. Make sure you haven't managed to hide root for any process related to the 1+updater or it won't know you are rooted and will offer incremental updates.
2. Install Oxygen Updater (This app may become abandoned in 2019 requiring the use of the stock updater which is slower or manually downloading roms.) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.arjanvlek.oxygenupdater
3. Open the app, verify that your device is identified correctly. Open it's settings and set Update Method to "Full Update"
4. Check for an update and download it. Make sure you end up with a full 2GB ROM image not an incremental small one. It will be in the root of internal storage.
DO NOT use Oxygen Updater to update the phone (unless you have TWRP and that is for a different GUIDE)
5. Open the built in OnePlus updater: Settings - System - System Updates - Gear - Local Upgrade and select the newly downloaded update. TAKE NOTE while it is installing which slot it is installing too. It will say something like "inactive slot a". Remember this as it is the "new" slot.
6. After it has installed DO NOT reboot the phone or you will lose root. Open Magisk Manager and install Magisk, even though it says "installed". Select the option when it prompts for "after OTA". This will install magisk in the boot partition of the new slot.
7. Reboot and If all went well you shouldn't boot loop and you'll be running the new slot. If you want TWRP (optional), install the zip now from Magisk->Modules->+ (sign) then select the TWRP zip file and install it. Do NOT reboot. Then do a "Direct Install" of Magisk again, then reboot.
8. Open Magisk Manager and go to the downloads section and reinstall the modules you want to use. Do this from the Downloads screen or using the + button on the Modules screen. This will install them in the current slot.
DO NOT simply reenable the modules with the check mark or you will boot loop. Some modules aren't listed in Magisk and can't be automatically moved from slot to slot. If you installed one of those previously, you must reinstall it with the plus button manually from the modules tab.
You should be done now.
Oh no I'm boot looping: Don't panic.
1. Make sure you have adb/fastboot 1.4.3 or newer on a PC https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
2. Boot the phone into Bootloader/fastboot either through the recovery menu or VolDn + Pwr
3. If in step 5 above the inactive slot was "a", issue the command from a PC command prompt:
fastboot --set_active=b
or vice versa
fastboot --set_active=a
If you are not sure which to use try one or fastboot getvar current-slot
4. Then: fastboot reboot
This will allow the phone to boot into the last good ROM version. Now you figure out what went wrong.
Another option If your phone didn't retain root, you can stay in the unrooted slot. download a rooted boot image of your firmware version, place it in the your fastboot pc directory, reboot the phone to fastboot and issue the command: fastboot boot boot.img (or whatever the downloaded image is called.) this is a temporary root that is non destructive. Then do a direct install from Magisk manager even though it already says installed. That will permanently root your boot copy. Then install your modules.
Here is the 9.5.11 1917AA rooted boot image https://www.dropbox.com/s/6csxd9zaa4mihwk/boot_a_backup_2019-08-04_19-05-29.img?dl=0
If your phone looped right after flashing, you may not have disabled Magisk modules properly. You can still disable them from the good slot, swap active slots again using fastboot and see if it boots into the new ROM. If not, swap back to the good old slot again and start over flashing again from the beginning.
If you looped after reenabling your modules, it is possible you only enabled one but didn't install it into the new slot. Again swap back to the good slot and disable the modules. Swap back to the new slot and install the modules again even if Magisk thinks they are there.
If all else fails, you can stay in the good old slot until you sort things. If you are looping in both slots then something really went bad and you have to flash back a full ROM from fastboot. See this thread
https://buzzfire.de/xda/t3931424
Then root again using the rooted boot image above.
You may be able to boot into the old rooted slot and root the new slot with the ota option also.
If you have issues where stuff like Wifi doesn't work, then somewhere along the line or previously you flashed a (boot) image that didn't match the /system image in the slot you were working on. This error will persist in that slot every time you use that slot until it gets a fixed set of images.
Hope this helps!
I updated to 9.5.7 yesterday with following process, which was very simple (also used the same exact process to update to 9.5.6 last week):
Note: This assumes your device is already bootloader unlocked and has developer options enabled.
Download latest twrp.zip to your phone
Download latest magisk.zip to your phone
Download latest twrp.img to your pc
Allow oxygen updater to download/install OTA. It will say 'your device is rooted, a full image will be downloaded'. (If you're not already rooted, this process will still work)
After it completes the installation, do not select reboot. Instead, hold power button and press reboot to bootloader (make sure you enabled Advanced reboot in settings to see that option)
In fastboot and connected to pc, run from pc: fastboot flash boot twrp-3.3.1-3-guacamole.img (or whatever latest version is - you need to do this step because the OTA wipes out twrp if you already had it installed)
Reboot phone to twrp recovery
Flash install the twrp.zip you downloaded above
Flash install the magisk.zip you downloaded above
Reboot System
Done
Using this method, I haven't needed to change the slots at all, as the OOS updater takes care of that and the twrp/magisk flash installs each to both slots. This method preserves all data/settings/root (but I still do a twrp backup just prior to doing the update). I had tried the magisk install OTA to inactive slot option a few times but it never worked for me. This method also eliminates the need to download any patched boot images.
If you are on bootloop, just simply flash magisk_uninstaller.zip on twrp
boot into system > then flash magisk on twrp again.
Perfect manual and working great

You Sir are the good damn man i have spent 3hrs trying to update to 9.5.9 cheers boss!!
Will this method work if I was a TMobile OnePlus 7pro which converted to international running 9.5.8 currently?
Yes if you are offered the aa rom in the updater
@larsdennert I guess you may well know about this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/help/oxygen-updater-shutting-november-t3948339
I just start the update under settings, system, syst update
It found new update and tell me he need to download full ROM (I have rmagisk installed).
While it was downloading full ROM I uninstall magisk from magisk app.
After update finish before restart I installed magisk again (option after ota update) and restart.
Now I'm updated and with magisk installed

Yes I'm thinking, In the worst case it may be possible to use the stock updater as it senses root and downloads the full update now. Simply substitute the step where oxygen updater is used to download with the stock updater.
There may be a slightly longer delay before the stock updater offers an update as 1+ does it in waves. I have to hand it to 1+for even offering updates as most phones won't.
hi experts,
what and where to set or unset to make sure there is NO auto OTA update?
How do I control the update time on my op7p?
I'd like to avoid surprise of getting update in background that would / can remove root, magisk and etc that were manually added?
as example I use xXx over magisk and I's like to be prepared ahead of time to apply the OTA update
thanks for the education.
The 1+ updater has a setting to auto download updates or not. You can change it.

I used a method that didn't require uninstalling Magisk modules or even booting into recovery (unless you have issues):
1.) Download FULL OTA from 1+ updater (should be approximately 2gb)
2.) Disable all Magisk modules and substratum themes
3.) Install OTA manually via the system updater in Settings > System > System Updates > Gear in upper right > Local Upgrade **DON'T REBOOT!!!**
4.) Search for TWRP Retention Script in Magisk, install **DON'T REBOOT!!!**
5.) Re-install Magisk from the main page in Magisk Manager App (OTA Option) **REBOOT**
6.) Re-enable Magisk modules and any substratum themes **REBOOT**
If you get stuck in a bootloop due to a Magisk module causing issues (EdXposed did this to me) you can:
Boot Into Recovery (Volume Down + Power Button) > Advanced > File Manager > Navigate to data/adb/modules > Click module you want to disable / delete > Hit bottom right checkmark > Delete > Hit Home > Reboot System
Magisk modules I'm currently running in 9.5.10 with no issues:
- Google Dialer Framework
- Google Product Sans
- liboemcrypto disabler
- OnePlus Google Launcher
- Renovate Ice
- Substratum
- ViperFX
- xxxNoLimitsxxx

I assumed it was and disabled it first, did a reboot and booted up fine. It was a good guess
Best bet would be to delete all modules and start from scratch if you're not sure. It depends what kinds of modules you run.
I had issues of bootloop where I would get past the unlocked message and boot up animation but then would freeze with my background showing only (no launcher, no status bar, etc).

I was running Riru Core, edXposed and ended up dropping both, it wasn't worth the hassle for me since I run Renovate Ice and it does most of the tweaks I want from GravityBox (reason I was running Xposed).

Try disabling all the modules and see if you can boot into 9.5.10 slot. If it does, reinstall them (then reenable them)

FAQ / Further reading
Q: TWRP can't mount data partition, what to do?
A: Make sure you formatted data partition.
Q: Phone is not booting even after 20 minutes
A: Try to reboot. If still not booting, make sure you formatted data partition.
Q: How to format data partition?
A:
Q: Phone is showing only Samsung logo
A: Try to reboot. If still not booting, consider installing an older TWRP build or a more recent firmware.
Q: I get "Failed to mount /preload message", what to do?
A: From wipe menu select Advanced Wipe, select preload partition to be wiped and reboot recovery.
Q: Why do i need to format data partition?
A: Because old rom encrypted your data partition and new rom can't decrypt and use that content / root needs access to data partition to place misc files / phone not booting after flashing root until data partition gets formatted.

I think I have a similar problem. These were my steps:
flashed TWRP through Heimdall
booted into TWRP
wiped data
flashed the no verity opt encrypt zip
flashed LineageOS (official nightly from May 1st), gapps and Magisk
After that I booted the system and encryption was forced during boot. When I rebooted into recovery I was prompted to enter the password, which was not successful (decrypt failed because it took too long).
Before all that I was running an official and up-to-date Android 10 Samsung (April security patch).
Hi. I need emergency help. I'm new on s9+ & flashed twrp as well formatted data partition then flashed no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.1 but whenever entered to system then returned to recovery mode then i lost internal storage again again & again. Please help me. I'm on latest android 10 firmware.
Hi ?
Will you update the SHRP to latest TWRP Base ?
And will be very good if you will support the Orange Fox Recovery
I like those two recoveries because of password protection and they have more features…
Thanks for your work for our devices!
Seems the dl link isn't working. I tried connecting to the dl site on my phone and my PC and both returned with a "This site can't be reached" error.
I just tried contacting TeamWin through the contact form on the TWRP website and it seems as though the submit file for the form was deleted.
Could I live WITHOUT disabling encryption via flashing no-verify? I want to have my /data encrypted.
Hi Mate just wondering would this working with a Samsung Galaxy S9 plus
Model SM-G96F
Android version 10
One UI version 2.1

So are you saying that LOS does not support disabling encryption? I tried the whole procedure multiple times and it seems that the patch fails because the fstab entries are not found in LOS.
Could an encrypted data partition cause issues recognizing the sim card? I find this hard to imagine, but I have both issues pretty persistently.
Cheers
The OP says:
Download TWRP_*.tar
Switch off the phone
Use Bixby Key+Volume Down+Power to enter Download Mode and connect the device to usb
Open Odin and untick autoreboot in "options" tab. Also make sure that your device is detected
Put TWRP_*.tar.md5 file into AP tab
I've downloaded twrp-3.3.1-1-starlte.img.tar (as recommended elsewhere for my S9) but how do I do the last part?
What is TWRP_*.tar.md5 file? How do I get it?
Is there anyone who got TWRP 3.4.0 working with encryption on a Samsung Galaxy S9?
My experiences after 1 hard week:
1. On Stock: TWRP always showed an unlock option via PIN, but it was never able to decrypt (neither default_password, nor disabling lockscreen, nor setting another PIN/Password in locksetings helped)
2. On Magisk: TWRP never showed an unlock option & was never able to decrypt
3. Only option was to disabled encryption --> the old encryption disabler from OP doesn't work, updated Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_03.04.2020 has to be used ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...rceencrypt-t3817389/post77091359#post77091359 ) --> patter lock & fingerprint cannot be used in the future
A little disappointing considering that the unlock option of TWRP & changelog suggests that decrypting should work.
@moocou
BTW: Put TWRP_*.tar file into AP tab

Hello ,
Is it possible with this twrp version to use the sd card also ? Thank you for your answer .
I see magisk v25 change log mentions
Fix vb meta extraction implementation.
So does that mean magisk v25 will disable vb meta automatically now?

I belive so. IIRC, if you've rooted your tablet by patching the AP file with Magisk and flashed it in Odin, then vbmeta should already be disabled. Magisk, and therefore root, will still persist even after a factory data reset because your device is running Magisk as a system app.
Finally awake. Gonna go ahead and flash TWRP on my Tab S8+ and share my results!

Then don't spam every thread with tab s6 topics
I come baring results. I flashed TWRP and vbmeta in Odin as described in the initial post, and it booted into TWRP! However, the good news ends there. The touch screen doesn't seem to work when in TWRP, and interestingly, when I have the keyboard attachment on, the install button darkens as if I'm pressing it no matter what I do on the trackpad. I've tried rebooting the tablet by holding pow + vol- but all it does is reboot once and then put me back in TWRP. I can use ADB to go into download mode, but I can't boot back to Android. Looks like I'm gonna need to flash my patched firmware and try again when this gets fixed. For context, I flashed the gts8p TWRP tar because I have a Tab S8+, but the WIFI only variant (X800), which is in the supported versions list, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

I come baring results. I flashed TWRP and vbmeta in Odin as described in the initial post, and it booted into TWRP! However, the good news ends there. The touch screen doesn't seem to work when in TWRP, and interestingly, when I have the keyboard attachment on, the install button darkens as if I'm pressing it no matter what I do on the trackpad. I've tried rebooting the tablet by holding pow + vol- but all it does is reboot once and then put me back in TWRP. I can use ADB to go into download mode, but I can't boot back to Android. Looks like I'm gonna need to flash my patched firmware and try again when this gets fixed.

v3.6.2_11-0 (2022-09-04):
Initial TWRP 3.6.2 release built from AOSP-11 branch.
Instructions:
From OEM stock firmware:
Unlock bootloader
Hold Vol Up & Vol Down buttons during restart to enter Download mode
Install TWRP to AP with Odin
Hold Power & Vol Up buttons during restart to enter TWRP recovery
From existing TWRP install: (No need for data wipe.)
Hold Power & Vol Up during restart to enter TWRP recovery
Tap Install->Install Image, select your image (.img) file, pick Recovery partition, and then swipe to install
Reboot to Recovery
What about rooting with Magisk?
These images are not supplied pre-rooted with Magisk, since it's against the terms of use laid out by Magisk's developer, John Wu. To root the TWRP image yourself, simply use Magisk Manager to Select and Patch the boot.img file. More details on this process are available here. Note that you should just patch the boot.img file and not the whole AP tarball, since this device's bootloader doesn't like the empty vbmeta.img that Magisk will provide.

Additional Notes:
Ian's Multidisabler script has an issue on this device preventing it from disabling stock recovery auto-restoration. I'm hoping that a fix is forthcoming.
If you root this device with Magisk, be sure to patch only the boot.img file. Patching the AP tarball will generate a blank vbmeta.img, which this device's bootloader doesn't like for some reason.
Works on LTE version sm-x505 ??
Also which is better tab A7 or tab A8 ??
works perfectly. what i did was after rooting with magisk, i downloaded the official twrp app from playstore and downloaded your img to my tab. then i just flashed it from within the app. no issues.

I am so delighted to see that there is major development for this device.
This will open the door for future custom ROMs.
Thank you Magendanz for your effort in bringing this to us.
I can say that is working as expected, thank you so much man. I thought that with TWRP we could be able to install a GSI ROM at least, but nothing at all lol

I think it's possible, but just using ChonDow_Flasher didn't work for me...I suspect because the bootloader isn't seeing an AVB hash footer on the GSI image. I had a similar experience when I built TWRP without the hash footer.
Unfortunately, I'm getting a segmentation error when trying to add a hash footer to the GSI using avbtool. It's probably a partition size issue, but I haven't had the time to troubleshoot.

I had tried different ways also but I give up, the only thing that I can think now is try to use the "reboot to bootloader" feature in TWRP. But well, this processor is going me crazy.

Once we get TWRP can't we just flash Magisk's zip file within TWRP like normally we do?
Also, after restart the tablet, when I tried to get back into TWRP it took me back to Android regular recovery. I had to flash TWRP again using Odin, after enabling MTP, local storage doesn't mount, I wasn't able to copy data in it.

No, you should patch the boot.img using the Magisk app, then flash it using TWRP or pack in a tarball and use Odin. Don't patch the whole AP, as Magisk will substitute a blank vbmeta.img that the bootloader on this device doesn't like.

Was just going to try this method but I'm on AVC1...I'm assuming I need to be on AVG1?
As long as the binary number is the same, im assuming dont quote me, you should be able to flash avg1 then magisk then twrp. Just update to the latest firmware.
I figured that's what I had to do but was trying to avoid that....just rooted a week ago and had no idea about AVG1.
So if I want to upgrade to AVG1 or any other firmware in the future I have to do the whole process again of patching boot.img, flashing through Odin, factory reset and setting up everything again? There's no way to upgrade and retain root?
Not unless you can recieve ota while rooted.

I successfully tested fastbootd with OEM images, but the LineageOS GSI I tried was still getting kernel panics. I assume it has to do with this bootloader's AVB 2.0 requirements, which we can't seem to work around in the usual way with a blank vbmeta.img.

No, the OEM for this device is Samsung. Please provide a link for this vbmeta disabler, since I've just been using the ones generated by Magisk and my own using avbtool make_vbmeta_image --out vbmeta.img.

What's not working?

Installation instructions
Spoiler: Installation instructions
Installation requirements
- A computer
- ADB installed on the computer, you can find a guide here
- Odin (v3.14.1 is verified to work fine), you can find it here
- A decent battery level on the device
Step 1 - Unlocking the bootloader
You may skip this section if you have already unlocked your device
- Enable developer options
- In developer options, toggle the "Allow OEM unlocking" setting
- Reboot into download mode following the instructions below
- Once into download, long press the volume up button and follow the instructions on the screen
- After the bootloader is unlocked, your data will be erased, so make sure to back it up first.
- Now, once the system has finished booting, you MUST connect to a WiFi network, enable developer options again, and make sure that the OEM unlocking toggle is on and grayed out. If you do not see the toggle on the developer settings, close the settings and try again a few times.
- Once you see the toggle greyed out, all is set.
Step 2 - Installing the LineageOS recovery
In order to flash the ROM, you need a custom recovery, which you can find on the downloads section.
For installing the recovery:
- Boot into download mode as described below
- Press the volume up button a single time to fully enter download mode
- Connect your device to your computer
- Once you are in download mode, open Odin and make sure that it detects your device
- Go to options on Odin, and disable auto-reboot (DO NOT ENABLE ANY OPTIONS OTHER THAN F. Reset Time and Auto-Reboot)
- Download the vbmeta.tar file from the downloads section
- Select on the "Ap" button the vbmeta.tar file and then click "Start"
- Download the recovery.tar file from the downloads section
- Select on the "Ap" button the recovery.tar file and then click "Start"
If Odin gets stuck (specially when flashing recovery.tar), you might try the following:
- After you flash vbmeta, reboot into download again, and directly flash the recovery (once you have flashed the vbmeta once you shouldn't need to flash it again)
- Try a different PC or USB cable
- Try a different version of Odin
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
- Once the flashing completes, power off your device by pressing power + volume down, and after the screen turns off, quickly press the key combination for booting into recovery
- If everything went fine, you should be now on the LineageOS recovery
Warning: if you boot into the OneUI again, it will overwrite the custom recovery and you'll need to install it again!
Step 3 - Installing the ROM
- Download the ROM from the downloads section (make sure you download the .zip file and not the .sha256sum file)
- Once in recovery, go to the "Apply update" section, and click "ADB sideload"
- Connect your device to the computer, and sideload the update with adb sideload path/to/file
An example of the command on Windows can be adb sideload C:\Users\myuser\Downloads\lineage-20.0-20230223-unofficial-gta4xlveu.zip
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
- Your device should start verifying and installing the update
- After the installation has finished, you need to format the data partition (Factory reset -> Format data/factory reset)
- Now, click "Reboot to system"
- If everything went correctly, you should be booting LineageOS
How to boot into recovery/download modes:
Spoiler: Booting into recovery/download
Download
- For booting into download, you will have to press at the same time the power and the two volume buttons until the "Download" screen shows up.
- If you want to boot into download with the device powered on, you have to press the reboot option and right after that, press the key combination as mentioned above.
Recovery
- First, make sure to connect the device to a computer, otherwise the tablet won't allow you to boot into recovery (it's a Samsung restriction).
- For booting into recovery, just press the power and volume up buttons. Once the Samsung logo / bootloader unlocked warning has appeared, you can release the buttons and press the power button to skip the warning screen.
- Just like with the download mode, if you want to boot into recovery with the device powered on you just have to press the keys right after pressing the reboot button.

Thank you very much, i will test it next week.
Testing out the new ROM, glad to see one for the Qualcomm 2022 version.
Battery stats works
Camera works
Using lawnchair 2 and it works! Pixel keeps crashing (?)

Glad to see that you liked the ROM.
Here Pixel launcher works, not sure why it doesn't there.
Anyways, I'll remove GApps by default on future builds so the Pixel launcher won't be present. (Of course, you'll be able to install a custom GApps package).
Thank you! Also started to test now. I disabled most of google app from the start and went fdroid/aurora way (waiting with anticipation for no google version). Nothing crashed yet.
btw, how to root this image? is patching boot.img and replacing it in zip and then flashing as above enough, or is there any changes required for vbmeta?

unfortunately this method does not work: during sideload it fails with `Unable to repack boot image` and recovery logs are somehow empty, but still managed to boots after this error
i will try with patching boot.img when i will have more time
ok, i managed to flash image with patched boot.img (extract zip, uload boot.img to device, patch with magisk, download patched boot.img, remake zip image),
but just flashing patched image from recovery made my existing system unbootable
and i had to reflash stock firmware and then repeat flashing steps from scratch
(flash vbmeta/recovery, and then flash patched image),
with this the device is booting and root is working
notes:
- the unbootable state from above was device going into black screen just after samsung logo, with no hints of activity (10 min was max i waited)
- only pressing all tree keys (power, volume up and down) made it reboot with about one second of turn off state (so one can't actually power off the device, it just boots up again into black screen after logo)
- after reboot i was not able to enter recovery or download mode by just pressing known combinations of buttons, and the only way to enter download mode was: during this 1 second power off state to press volume up and down keys and connect usb cable (spend some time finding this solution)
- during flashings after uploading vbmeta i could not flash recovery right after vbmeta (it gets stuck during upload) and i had to reboot again into download mode and then flash recovery (this happened both during my first try to install this image, and with the patched image)
- for some reason in this image i have two sets of navigation buttons at the bottom of the screen (the triangle, circle and square buttons), one is standard android set and one compressed to the right side of nav.bar; stopping pixel launcher removes the compressed one, but the square button (task switching) stops working
- after installing patched image i also noticed (in hindsight) that actually during first install the scroll was very choppy (and the system was kind of slow), but in second install this problem went away
Thanks a lot for the ROM. The following steps for rooting lead to success for me:
1. flashing according to the instructions as described by daniml3.
2. copy Magisk 25.2 to the external SDCARD and rename to .zip
3. reboot in recovery
4. factory reset -> format data/factory reset
4. do not boot, but install Magisk from tablet via ADB from SDCARD
5. reboot
6. rename magisk to .apk again and install the app
7. set up Magisk
8. after reboot be sure to complete ANDROID setup
It rocks!
The navigation buttons are also duplicated for me.
I hope I could help.
I wish a LineageOS without Google.
Thanks everyone for the feedback! There are a few notes:
- I'll release a version without Google Apps as soon as possible (most likely this weekend).
- The lag when booting is caused due to some overlay issue, I still have to look into it, but as it doesn't affect much to the functionality after a few seconds its not a "priority".
- The duplicated navigation buttons are actually an issue from the Google Apps (maybe the Pixel Launcher?). This will be fixed with the Google app-less version of the ROM. If you switch to gesture navigation this issue dissapears.

As I said on the post, if you have the LTE model, and want to try a build, just let me know (preferably by Telegram).
Uninstalling the pixel launcher via adb removes the extra icons.
Small lag at start-up but other wise a smooth-running rom.
Thanks!
Today (if everything goes as planned) I'll publish a new update for the WiFi-only model, including:
- Enforcing SELinux
- Removed GMS by default (you can install them as a separate package, personally BitGapps worked perfectly)
- Fixed some background services crashing
This will probably be the last update in a (few) week(s), as I'm working on an source-built-vendor device tree, which may take some time.
I'm also working on a build for the LTE variant, which will be published as soon as I verify that it works correctly.
At the moment I am not at home. After my short vacation I am looking forward to try it at the end of the week.
Many thanks for your work.
A new update for the SM-P613 (gta4xlvewifi) was published just now with the following changes:
- Enforcing SELinux
- Removed GMS by default (you can install them as a separate package, personally BitGapps worked perfectly)
- Fixed some background services crashing
Download it at https://sourceforge.net/projects/gta4xlve-dev/files/gta4xlvewifi/lineage-20.0/
Warning: If you used GMS, you'll need to manually install them (I use BitGapps and they work correctly).
Latest update runs really smooth with bitgapps. Lawnchair works with no problems. Thanks again for this ROM!
Bit of a stretch to ask, but would it be possible for the build to identify itself as a tablet, rather than a phone? And the possibility of defaulting the orientation to landscape? (90 degree rotation as default rather than 0)
