[Request] A Clean OS for the Tab A 7.0 (SM-T280)

Hello there
As the title tells you, i would like to have a clean OS for the Galaxy Tab A 7.0 (SM-T280)
With clean OS i mean a completely debloated rom without any extras. As slim as possible. Just a launcher and Core GApps (Playstore + Maps)
Maybe a debloated ROM or a debloation script. or a List of removeable Apps
I notices that the LTE version of the tablet, the SM-T285, allready got some non Touchwiz roms.
CM13 by Jedld and CM14.1 by Jedld
The best what could happen would be, if a developer from the T280 could make it compatible.
Jedld said:
SM-T280 Users: Unfortunately this rom would probably not work on it since the SM-T285 and SM-T280 have different kernels and slightly different hardware. I don't have access to this device so it would be hard for me to port it over. However I believe there are a lot of similiarities in the device tree that can be shared. If a dev with the SM-T280 is interested I can probably help.

It would be great if someone could help
Greetings!

A month ago i inquired about the likeliness of a ROM for the 280. There was some work being done on it but unfortunately it stopped. As long as devs don't have the device, no work will be done for it. So unless we (requesters) bundle and buy a 280 for a dev (something unlikely to happen) we can only hope.

i want it to

Just orered this tab, was at special price, sad to hear this
I guess all we can do is root and debloat

Installing Custom Rom for Samsung Galaxy Tab E SM-T560 on Samsung GalaxyTab E SM-T561

Good day everybody,
I am completely new in the Custom Rom world.
I've recently found a custom rom which is designed for Samsung Galaxy Tab E SM-T560, but I would like to install it on a Samsung Galaxy Tab E SM-T561. The Custom rom is LineageOS gtelwifiue.
I have already TWRP installed.
I don't understand what is the difference between these two particular devices (they even look the same to me) and why they are called with the same name, but different model code. Is it possible that these two very similar devices have any compatibility? Or I will almost certainly brick my tablet?
Thank you,
Michele

Where or how did you found a custom Rom for the (SM-T560) model? can you share the link on a post because everyone in XDA is looking for a way to root this particular model and no one has ever made it. Or maybe you saw a Custom Rom for the (SM-T560NU) model?????. :/

Hello!
I have no idea, I am sorry. I don't know if SM-T560NU is actually the Galaxy Tab E 9.6" 16GB (Wi-Fi) (which seems to have model number SM-T560NZKUXAR). The version of lineageOS is gtelwifiue, designed for the Galaxy Tab E 9.6" 16GB (Wi-Fi) (you can find it online; I am not allowed yet to post outside links).
However a fast research seems to tell me that you're right: SM-T560NU equals SM-T560NZKUXAR, but I am no expert.
My tablet (which is SM-T561) is actually rooted and TWRP is correctly installed (I mean the custom recovery mode).

gtelwifiue = Qualcomm SoC
gtelwifi = Spreadtrum SoC
Totally different devices and highly incompatible.
Here's LineageOS 11.0 based on 4.4 for gtelwifi (SM-T560): https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...-lineageos-11-0-samsung-galaxy-tab-e-t3711283

Any luck finding roms for t561?

Thank you for your answers.
No I didn't find any rom for my model. I gave up.

check this: Updating Android on SM-T560
even though it's for the SM-T560, it's originally for SM-t561(it also works for SM-T560) . Also, personal advice: never give up, especially when you're *this* close to something.

The SM-T560 is integrated with USB hub and SM-T561 is not. I have recently tried this but with original Samsung firmware and it went horribly wrong.

it is galaxy note 8.0 gt n5105. Also it has wifi and lte

Think 5100 is similar.

Install android 7.1.2
I update n5105 from android 4.2.2 to android 7.1.2. Everything seems good. but there is no Samsung application. I install from Google play. But any of them does not work. Especially I want to use snote and spen. But does not work. How can I add samsung applications? İs there anything like Gapps may be called Sapps?

As far as I know, those Samsung applications will work only with Samsung ROMs. They need some proprietary functions not present in third party builds. There is software to use the pen, though. Coto Note comes to mind. Haven't used it for anything but brief testing, though.

Samsung apps mostly works only on Samsung Rom. There are some modded als also for Stock (vanilla) Android.
So if you use that 7.1.2 Rom you must find other apps than Samsung ones. They won't work.

Would you mind sharing the secret to getting that installed? I'm trying to do the same thing, but I can't get past the signature verification error. I'm not sure what to do.

Just got given Samsung GT-N5110, Yikes KitKat lol... Lets not!
Good old Odin, TWRP and now trying this build!
Glad I found this post with useful links, near end of 2021 too!!
Thanks!

This is crazy was asked can I do anything with it was going in Bin! I said wait No! that tablet is old, guy said you can't load much on it because it was old...
Actually really good old tablet, I went from memory and this forum...
I am not at Noob so skipped through a lot and did what I membered!
Same keys as S3, put in Download mode, use Odin to blast bootloader, reboot and quickly press right key combo before official software kicks it out.
Reboot again and see friendly TWRP as your bootloader.
I just saved a not bad old tablet from bin! I gonna keep, so glad for this forum!!!!
My main and only phone is a Samsung Galaxy A10 because it is my only 4G device decided not to mess with it BUT was phone to try with device I was given as tablet... Never push your luck!
I have made a brick before in my time!!!
Happy ending here!!!
Nice to be back!

Yes that old Samsung Note 8 has got new lease of life!
What memories from S3 that good old reflash Boot loader and hit key combo before original bootloader is retained!
Got TWRP going, got my Gapps and root, job done, nice!
WARNING:- Anyone with old Note 8 please don't just jump in! Yes it is possible, don't ask me if your a Noob, don't ask me what is a bootloader, what is Odin, what is TWRP, what is Root?... You can turn your tablet into chopping board! I am playing with Lineage on mine, you playing with Cucumber on yours?
Thankyou awesome links!

Nice Job, last step TWRP root file and enable in Dev Options!
Fully Rooted and enjoying the fact someone is still updating build for patch level.
Old tablet but not that bad once you get rid of KitKat lol!
This guy was going to chuck it out and said to me it will be limited because of old software... He told me dispose of it.... Just showed him now and he asked why did Samsung do this update for you not us, answer is they didn't!
This is why I love Android over Apple!

Galaxy Tab 4 "Value Edition" (SM-T533, matissevewifixxx)

Hi everybody,
I've been looking up and down in this sub-forum but can't seem to find an up-to-date ROM (Nougat or up) that seems to be suited as a daily driver for the Tab 4 SM-T533 "Value Edition" (WiFi only, no LTE). I understand it has a different SoC than the regular Tab 4, hence the ROMs available for that one won't work.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a good alternative?
Currently, I am still on Stock Android 5, rooted (with SuperSU) and TWRP in place. So, I'm good to go, just need a decent ROM.
Thanks for any hints and tips!
Cheers

I have the Tab 4 10.1 wifi only edition t530 and there are craploads of roms. Old but still available. Most don't have working camera. I'm currently running a Dual Boot setup where Stock is my primary rom and LineageOS 14.1 is my secondary rom i can boot into whenever I'd like. Pie has also just been released for this device.

Thanks for getting back. Also for reminding me that I forgot to mention the model name. I edited the OP to point out that it's a SM-T533.
Now, the trouble is that the SM-T533 and the SM-T530 supposedly have different hardware so the ROMs for the 530 wouldn't run on the 533.
I'd be happy with Nougat already. Wouldn't even need to be Oreo or Pie.
Too bad, but it seems there aren't enough devices out there so that it would make sense for any developer to spend the time porting a ROM to the SM-T533.
Cheers

Are there any otheres out there using this variant, at all?

Hiya
i acquired ex demo model of the tab4 T530 and T533.
i managed to fix the T530 model flashing with Odin but no joy on the T533.
what i noticed is the the firmware for the T530 had BL CS and AP files ,but the T533 are only i big file, @Poorusernamechoice developer was supposed to break the firmware into AP BL and CS but alas i have not heard anything back , please assist anyone who has the know how

@musafir 7 Thanks for your reply. I don't believe that after two more years chances have become bigger that anyone puts a minute of work into this. :-( By the way: We still have the tab and it's still running, though it's being used only scarcely now.

Thank you for your reply,my tablet is still in a demo mode smirking at me,could some one assist @thisisapoorusername explained to me what i need to do but we mere mortalz lack the confidence to execute the linux command to split the SM-T533 firmware in to AP BL and CS.

Custom ROMs?

Are there any custom roms i can use with this tablet, Thank you.

If you look around about you'll find out these are Treble devices so you can use GSI's on these.

But would one be able to find for instance, a ressurrection remix treble image??? Then I'd want to know how to root the tablets, if I decided to buy one, of course, there's the question of, "would I brick it" since I'm used to doing phones, and everything is so hard to go custom on these days, since being made rootless only at around android 10, at least for stock android

You might want to search the Samsung Galaxy Tab forums for this answer. The development community around the galaxy tabs is quite active depending on the model. You can locate the model number of your tablet under the settings menu or on the back of the tablet by the bottom. It should be something like model number SM-T*** Mine is an SM-T380. Search the model number and you might find a better answer
