Possible that SM-T520 will get LineageOS 15.1 - Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General

I really still enjoy using this table and LineageOS 14.1 breathed new life into it from the stock Andriod ROM of KitKat. If not does anyone suggest anything other than LineageOS to run on my tablet that would perform any better than LineageOS.
Thanks,
Lime

Hmm nobody has any thoughts?

Resurrection Remix is a very good and stable ROM. But you leave curious...
What is lacking in Lineage that leaves you wanting?

It looks like they may not be going forward with any new releases of lineageos for the SM-T520.

LOS14 Issues
I have 3 issues with LOS14 on my SM-T520 wifi which I didn't have with a former CM Rom:
- I like to hold my Tab in different orientations and android rotates the screen likewhise. But the unlock-screen is not rotated and allways shows same orientation no matter how i hold the tab.
- I play some games on my tab with ad videos. In some games those videos are played in full volume for a fraction of a second even though my volume is low or off. This makes an irritating noise whenever one of the video starts.
- In some games android seems to overload the cpu regularly for some milliseconds and the game hangs (graphic and sound) but only when the tab had been running for a longer time. When I then restart the tab everything works fine.
I had a CM on my tab before and I didn`t have any of these issues there. But CM is no longer supported or updated so I switched to LOS14. Appart from these issues LOS14 runs very good on the SM-T520. But like limeman35 said there seem no progress in developement. At least there are nightly builds from time to time with service releases from android.

I am a newbie when it comes to rooting. I've never tried it but I have a Samsung t525 an I check all the time for system updates for this tablet but there never have one. I've even called into Samson an they told me you cant download any updates at all. That is hard for me to ac Sept. There has to be something I can to to utilise my tablet. Will you please explain how to root my tablet? Ty Pawneehappygamer

I'm using CM 11 (4.4.4) on a S4 with Android Wear. No issues that I can see so far.
On Nexus 5, anything other than stock doesn't work well. Watch disconnects too often to be usable (bluetooth stack is dodgy on aosp or CM).
The fix is to flash Elemental kernel. Problem solved. This kernel is available for both aosp and CM.
Even in stock rom, if you flash another kernel, like franco kernel, the watch becomes unusable.
Again, the fix is to flash Elemental, with gives you the added bonus of enabling screen calibration for nice poping colors.
It took me time to discover all this. And frustration.
lost network connection

Any ideas for running CM on the galaxy s3? Android wear will not switch to connected, shows, "connecting, running sync loop". Most functions work OK but the watch is dying terribly quick. I know the moto 360 battery is supposed to be iffy, but I should get more than 4-5 hours....

Well,
I tried a different kernel and still same issue. I flashed a TouchWiz based rom and it WORKED. Shows "connected". Battery life on moto 360 also vastly improved. Went from dead at 3:30 PM to 45% at same time!
I'm on DarkCM(11) for the xperia z1 and can't get it to work either.
Tested on my brothers stock xperia and that worked just fine. Il try downgrading to stock as well. :'(
If anyone gets CM on the z1 running with android wear please let me know.
I have a Oneplus One CM 11S works great on my old Gear Live and my new Sony Smartwatch 3
I read that MOTO 360 has (had) issues ?? Maybe the watch not the phones OS
Hi. My first post here and very New to all this. I have Samsung S4 with cm11 just got an Samsung galaxy gear2 neo and now i have to figure out how to get it to work with cm11 ? Can some body help

Sorry for bringing up an old post. I wanted to check in on your Android Wear connection to CM ROMs. I have a Sprint S4 (jfltespr) running CM12. I will be getting a LG G Watch R in a few days but someone else on our ROM thread was having issues with his Moto 360 and the CM12 ROM. Have you experienced any issues not connection or remaining in a sync loop?
Has anyone else experienced Android Wear issues with CM 11 or CM 12 on S4 phones? Particularly jfltespr?
Cant speak for the S4 but my LG G3 has had nothing but issues with my G Watch R since I flashed CM12. I reverted back to CM11 (recent build) and its working great, never disconnects. With CM12 it would disconnect at least 10-20 times a day its unusable.
I just installed the Google Play Edition Lollipop on my GS4 and it paired perfectly with my ASUS ZenWatch. Lollipop AOSP is AMAZING and i am so stoked it works so great!

"Connecting, running sync loop" is just a different message for the same thing - it is activated on some ROMs(?) apparently when you have Developer mode enabled. But it works the same, and this message in itself doesn't indicate there should be any battery drain.
Of course something in the ROM might be causing this problem - a logcat from the watch would help in that case, but my guess is you just need to let everything install, settle down and then reboot both devices, and the drain will be gone...
My Zenwatch works perfectly with my Oneplus One running the latest CM11S. Having bluetooth on all the time does drain a bit more battery, but that's it.
I am having an issue with google wear (zenwatch) completing some tasks:
It fails to launch a phone call from google wear (my watch simply says "try again using your phone")
It fails to launch google play for music (it gives the same error as above)
Setting reminders using google keep (same error)
Text messages sent from android wear are NOT working.
Starting navigation on my watch using voice commands works.
Other basic apps appear to be working as well.
So far I've only noticed the above listed (maybe a few others) google apps and dialer that fail to launch when initiated from the watch, I have tried another dialer to see if that was the issue.
Anyone have any suggestions or insight on what I might be able to do in order to get google wear working 100% with this ROM?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Mine works well
I have OnePlus One with CM11 and everything works quite well so far with my G Watch R

CM 12.1 Nightlies discussion

So i finally gave cm 12.1 a chance because it's been rolling for a while now... and i was actually pretty impressed. The one issue i couldn't deal with is the bluetooth audio playback in my car. Basically it was playing too fast, then pausing every 10-20 seconds and then continuing to play too fast again (also at a slightly higher pitch). I was able to temporarily fix the problem by turning bluetooth off and on but it came back. other than this i didn't see many issues and thought it was pretty good, but for no i'm going to go back to stock until this issue is fixed, i did find that it was already reported to the cyanogenmod team and they are already working on a fix so i'm waiting impatiently until it's fixed and i'll probably be moving from stock kitkat as my main rom to cm 12.1. How has everyone elses experience been with cm 12.1 nightlies so far?
What doesn't work. (if i missed something here post so i can update)
- saving 4k video (1080p works tho)
Battery life ?
- used to be terrible but it's almost as good as stock now but with better performance.
hey
i would like to use CM as i was doing that on my Moto G. the questions I have to users of the newest CM version:
- does quickcircle, google text-to-speech, intelligent screen (LG app) features work?
- what is the quality of videos and pictures taken by the phone running CM opposite to android v20i?
thank you.

1. Quickcircle won't work. To make it work again you have to install a special app. Google text-to-speech works ok for me (I haven't test it too much). LG features/apps won't work
2.For me the quality of pics and videos are the worst I have ever seen!!!! (Much better in the stock LG)
My experience with CM12.1 was average. I was waiting for something better. Camera is awful in the Custom roms. Battery life wasn't the best. In terms of performance the cm12.1 is better than the stock lg.
i've only been running cm 12.1 for a few days now so i don't have alot of substantive input, i did find a fix for the bad bluetooth car audio using a macro/tasker app but i think they have fixed it in the nightly released today, i'm downloading it now it says bluetooth stream parameters in the patch notes so i wont bother sharing my fix until i try this nightly to see if they already fixed it. i'll give a better review of whats working and the camera/video quality after i have a chance to play around with it more.
by the way anything running ART instead of DALVIK cache/runtime is going to perform better but it's at the price of xposed modules and such, i'm not expert on it but i know they switched to ART cache/runtime to be more competitive with the iphone. On Kitkat and lower an android device needs better hardware to output the same performance as an iphone with lesser hardware. ART should fix that problem. If you are curious google ART vs DALVIK
*edit* yeah bluetooth is fixed with the newest nightly update... atleast for my car which is a mazda 3. (yay)
Avrage camera and bugs like video not saving after recording is main culpit to not use CM 12.1. Otherwise it is good as clean android can be.

Videos do save. It is a issue with 4K video ONLY. Switch to 1080p video and videos save just fine.

I found that myselfe, tnx. But I believe that issue is fixed already. Maybe Im wrong, but I did see in changelog or other forum. Maybe someone can test it?
I switched to stock kitkat, I love CM, been running CM since it was 10.1, the problem is that it starts really really fast and after a while CM 12.1 becomes laggy it drives me crazy, other than that is the camera quality which doesn't bothers me as the performance issue,
I guess we'll need to wait for LG to release the G3 source file but who know's when that's gonna happend
good news the latest daily added some balancing between power and battery life. I went from losing a huge chunk of my battery during work when my phone is in my pocket to going 9.5 hours at work and coming home with 94% battery. (that is alot of standby but i use my phone at lunch and have bluetooth running for about 50 minutes of driving). Basically it got alot better, i'm not sure what they did but i did notice that there is a balanced setting in battery screen that i didn't notice before. Anyways I think those who were concerned about battery drain my have had their wishes answered over the last few nightlies.

Phone encryption not working?
I've just flashed the 20150603 CM12.1 and I cannot seem to get the phone encrypted. On the reboot to start the encryption, the phone gets stuck in the CM boot animation and the encryption process never starts. Any ideas or suggestions? Many thanks in advance.
I'm on 06/05 nigthly. When I plug the phone in my computer, it's not being recognized. If I change from MTP to PTP, then it works.
I've tried going to Device Manager, and could see that my phone is being recognized as a Nexus device. I tried installing latest drivers from Google's website, but I got a message saying that I'm already on the latest version. So that didn't do anything. I've tried uninstalling that "nexus" driver and rebooting my PC, but it somehow came back when I plugged my phone in. Trying to update gave me the same message.
If I run "adb devices", I can see that there's no devices (it's enabled in developer settings). If I enable ADB over WiFi and try to connect -- it works, and I can do whatever I want. But only over WiFi and not via USB.
Tried different cable and different port as well.

Lineage sleeping? OS updates

Hi, I wanted to ask times whether who has information regarding lineage os. The last update was on 27.2 and in my case, super many things do not work. The alarm, the brwoser, twitch streams do not start the sound is bad and so on. Is working on it? Or pull which of you the official axon version up?
Best regards
You have the latest. I've used the alarm every morning to wake up for the last few weeks without issues. Sound is perfect through headphones/bluetooth. I don't use twitch so I can't comment there. I use chrome - it works like a dream. The in-built android browser is not advisable. In fact, I don't seem to even have it on my phone. Use Chrome. The sound through the speakers DOES need to be improved. Timing for that is TBD.
There's only one primary developer working on it. Until other developers start contributing, updates will continue to depend on his schedule and availability.

Short review of this rom:
i flashed this rom three days ago (GAAPS nano)
battery life seems slightly better than stock rom
GPS works really reliable (drove 500km today with Google maps)
Rooted via magisk - Adaway/Systemizer/youtube as magisk module - no problem at all
Call quality is good but phone-speaker seems a bit too quiet - flashed Viper magisk module, speakers are loud enough now
performance is outstanding! this rom is so smooth! its like a new phone for me (after freeze/stutter bug from stock nougat rom)
fp sensor is working great
Fast charging is working but there is no indicator for it
over all this rom is great, far better than any stock rom and i did not encouter any bugs so far
My experience so far, I'm missing few features
I will update one by one
1. Cast is not working ( I have Samsung smart TV and it is not connecting)
2. No theme manager
3. No native video calling option in dialler
4. Camera quality is good but video recording is dark
5. Some time signal completely goes for few seconds then appears
6. No temporary disable option for navigate bar
7. Mobile download speed is low when compared to stock ROM download speed
Can someone confirm whether face unlock is working properly in this rom to unlock the screen

What about camera.... Is video recording working
My Review -
Pros - ROM is second to none, not even stock comes close in stability & battery performance.
Though i hope these issue will be resolved in upcoming builds later...
1- Sound starts playing from speaker even if you are plugged with ear phones during senarios.
2-Signal bars indicator keeps fluctuating often between 0-4(full strength) though data & calls works without breakage.
3-WiFi connections drops in between & connection works again automatically within 3-4 seconds.
4-Phones hangs little bit during Casting on Android TV.
5- Video recordings are little bit darker as of now.
*Tell you if found any.
This ROM is stable as much as stock ROM, I'm using this ROM as daily driver its better than stock with many features + latest security updates every week.

Very nice to see and i am really happy that LOS is finaly official for this device.Great job from the devs!I am curious are there plans to switch from LOS 14.1 to LOS 15.1?
Experiencing random WiFi drops and inconsistent speeds, anyone else having issues with WiFi too?
Besides the WiFi issues the latest build is nearly flawless, was a bit of a hassle to get it running since I've never done this before but so far it's pretty good.
Thanks for the hard work

Rock solid
Thanks devs !
Using this for some time now (January).
Everything works great and is smoother than the stock ROM.
The only minor bug is the fluctuating mobile connection display that has already been mentioned.
Had some odd torch-would-not-start issue after a long uptime (2 weeks), a reboot fixed that.
Battery rocks, usually 5-ish days, 7-8 hours SOT
Love Lineage OS - CM user since 2.3.x, wont buy a phone that has no chance of using LOS
Thank you for your hard work. In two days I noted only one problem: under battery usage Bluetooth is always on the first place with impossibile values (110%, 110000mAh) but it's not a real battery drain.
Superb ROM
First of all, Thanks for this great ROM, much better than stock or ridiciously fast compared to stock. Not even talked about stability.
Very smooth, fast. Long story short: VERY good ROM as daily driver.
I used this rom now almost a week and haven't had any noticable issue
1. Cast is not working.
I did not have this issue, i cast a lot but it is working better than stock
2. No theme manager.
not important to me but i can imagine that it would be important to other people
3. No native video calling option in dialler.
I don miss it, i normally use whatsapp for it, but it would be an welcome option
4. Camera quality is good but video recording is dark
For me it is better than stock, i don have any issues with this
5. Some time signal completely goes for few seconds then appears
I don have any issues with this, i use this phone for work al i call at least 4 hours a days (work only) i haven't had this issue once
7. Mobile download speed is low when compared to stock ROM download speed
For me i don have this issue, i think it is faster than stock but it is close
if i find any other things i will update this post.
But i want to mention i am happy that i flashed this ROM. It is a relieve that this great device as a great ROM which it deserves.
so thumbs up for all devs @mikeioannina, @highwaystar_ru, @FireLord

Anyone else feeling bad for having this phone?

Hi guys, I'm the owner of this device since december 2016. I was very happy when it first arrived, it was smooth, responsive, everything worked just fine and I was very happy with Xiaomi.
Later, Xiaomi just launched Redmi Note 4 and then my nightmare began. I was always searching for new MIUI features, and as such, I've installed as soon as possible a Custom MIUI China rom, like xiaomi.eu or MIUIBrasil.
Everything was just going well, but then I've noticed that Xiaomi released MIUI 8.5 on many devices with new features, and our device began to be a little "left behind" when it came to updates.
Later Xiaomi introduced MIUI 9, with the new features and so much more improvements, however, after MONTHS waiting, our phone just got a MIUI with and Android 6.0.1 on IT, they didn't even thought about updating to Android 7, on the excuse of hardware limitations (Oh yes, let's remind that apart from Camera, our phones are EQUAL to Redmi Note 4 in specs), anyway, I've already tried a few AOSP before, and now I thought that this was the time to give it a chance again...
However, with so many ROMs out there, I just thought, OK I'll try some before picking up one to be my daily. And then it began... OK, the first thing I missed from MIUI was the ability to record calls and block calls by choosing numbers from contact list (without having to type then manually), second, Network Type Dialog, which on MIUI I could see only three options (LTE, 3G and 2G) this saves battery and on my Country, my mobile company simply have a bug on their network, and if the network type 4G is selected when data is disabled, it will charge your phone anyway, everyday for using internet... (THAT's RIDICULOUS).
Another thing is the 3 finger screenshot, yes they're present I know, but on MIUI everytime you do this, the screen "freezes" and if its a list, it won't scroll, the same thing doesn't happen on AOSP, when you do Three Finger Screenshot on a list, it scrolls before taking Screenshot.
However, one may ask, Why you're not on MIUI then, if you like it so MUCH?
Ok, I'll answer this by explaining that, I CAN'T
Yes, you read it correctly, everytime I use a MIUI (I've tried many, MIUI Stable, MIUI China, Xiaomi.eu, MIUI 8.6, MIUI 8.3, even MIUI 8.2) and on ALL of them I have the same ISSUE i'm going to report now.
RANDOM REBOOTS after installing Magisk + Xposed combo.
When I got my hands on this phone, as I mentioned early, EVERYTHING worked like a charm, it never rebooted once, Xposed and Magisk were playing nice together, I could use modules from both Magisk and Xposed, and phone was amazing, but now, with newer versions of Xposed and Magisk, it doesn't work anymore.
OK, if I knew what combination I've used in the past, I could simply try them again, but the thing is that I don't, I don't remember which version of Xposed Framework I was using when everything was fine back 1 year and half from now, neither the Magisk version.
So I'm stuck with either using MIUI and having phone rebooting every now and then (it doesn't even REBOOT totally, it just doesn't turn on screen anymore and if you put screen against source of light you can barely see the BOOTLOGO animation Stuck, like if it were burned in on screen, it's weird) or with AOSP lacking many features I found useful on MIUI.
TL;DR I'm very displeased with this phone, with how XIAOMI forgot it and how frustrated I am because I can't use it properly, I can't customize it as MY OWN, and I just wanted to use it without rebooting.
Well that's all, just wanna share that and know if anyone else had the same feeling.
Best regards
1. You can use 3rd party app to record calls on aosp. With proper searching, you can get exactly what you want. For the blocking numbers from list, how often do someone need to block a number? It's a very minor feature.
2. Yes, there are more options to choose network, but choosing only 4/3/2G is still there.
3. About the three finger screenshot, yes aosp does it bad. But, you can use custom shortcut to take screenshots, even gestures like 2 fingers side swipe, which I use on Mdroid.
There's work around for almost everything, if you look properly. And if you like things simple, surely you'll miss out some things.
I feel bad, because I can no longer go back to a regular battery sized phone
I feel exactly the same
Xiaomi abandonned us
Luckily for me I gave my markw to my sister (she doesn't care about updates ) and got myself a mido ( redmi note 4)
But I miss my 4 prime it was the perfect size note 4 is too big. And battery life is slightly less with mido
I know how you feel about custom roms.
There is always a way to fix your problem with them but it demands time to find the solutions to bugs/ non-existent function ( custom rom is not for lazy person ?)
With miui you had almost everything in 1 package
( But miui also had so many problems)
