CyanogenMod Forum → Device Req Samsung Galaxy Tab S2

We know there are work in progress to port CM 12 on T810 and T710 but none for T815 and T715
So those like me with T815 or T715 or ... that are looking for CM for their device can post their request in CyanogenMod Forum request page
http://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/116361-samsung-galaxy-tab-s2/

Yes; even without phone fuctions is ok for start. I see note 4 exynos got decent cm13 now; I hope no impossible to give it for tab s2 lte. Would be great

Hey, I'm new to this, but I want to give it a shot to try a port for the T715.
I think it should be no problem to make a build without modem support.
So my plan would be to use the source of the T710, if @CTXz allows me to use his sources.
Next I want to try to integrate the modem/ RIL sources, but don't expect too much! I'm completely new to android development and this will be my first project doing myself.
Just did some compilings and ports, but never to new unsupported devices. Maybe with some help it will be possible for me.
Greets, Phil!

Hey, you really don't need to ask to use my sources A mention at the finished ROM would be all I need . However, if you plan to support it, I recommend joining my git group

Hey, ok great, thank you!
So let's try it!

A question:
What does one gain and lose by going from stock Samsung to CM12/13?
Thanks!

That is a very tuff question to answer in just one post and depends on particular preferences. My advise is to Google: Cyanogenmod and TouchWiz.

It seems the main issue is battery and camera (quality).

i think i messed my t817v. i rooted using odin, and cannot figure out what to do next. it tries to install but gives error message, also my tab wont charge, and when hooked into odin it keeps "adding then removed" over and over again... now i have a tablet that does not work.
any help on this would be awesome.

I would love that!
I also posted a device request at the CyanogenMod Forum.

What you always lose with CM is Bluetooth aptX support for higher quality Bluetooth audio, since they have no licence. And since now there is official MM for the S2 and it - with enough free storage and 3 GM of RAM and root available - really doesn't profit any more from a "slim" ROM than earlier devices did, can anybody point me to a real advantage of CM?

For me CM was never about storage, but about control. As far as possible (for I am no programmer) I want to decide about the rights apps have and don't. It starts with being able to delete them and goes on with being able to restrict their access rights. As far as I remember such privacy guard things are much more easier to accomplish with CM.

My TAB s2 is my first Samsung device.... ( other android devices being nexus 7, xperia z2 / z3, moto g 4G ) ...... I love the tablet but I must say the draw of a supported CM ROM would be the look / feel of stock android and the way the system behaves. Whilst with a rooted device you can remove bloatware, the system itself does not change. All of my other devices have been stock or only lightly skinned....and basically stock once you swap out the launcher.... so I have come to like that. I do find touchwiz to be a little in my face and I do notice the system intrusions a little...... a personal thing of course and I am not complaining as I made the decision to buy it knowing full well what Touchwiz was... but the hardware in the tablet and the price was the draw-card (got the WiFi version here in Aus the first month on sale for $540 ... in comparison, the Nexus 9 was circa $700 and the Ipad Air 2 64gb was $730). My nexus 7 2013 runs MM with less and smoother than the TAB s2 runs LP. I could only imagine what it could do with an ASOP ROM once the bugs were fixed.

Could it be due to a defect usb-port?

Do u know the difference between WIndows Phone/iPhone and Android, that's the kind of comparison u can use between Stock and CM.
Stock is the cute "little" thing with mostly everything that u may need ready to go.
CM is the smaller in size, much faster and with options to do almost anything u could think in a device.

Why does the SM-T815 run in 32bit mode, even under CM13?

New owner contemplating lineage flash

Hello,
I am new to android and recently ordered a Leeco pro3 for $120 (couldn't pass it up). I have read that it does not get ota updates in the US, so I have a few questions. Is there any detriment to using an outdated android version? Can I still run apps like facebook, twitter, and Snapchat? If i flash to lineage, will I still have all of the features (camera, Snapchat and facebook apps, etc)? I know the IR blaster won't work, but this isn't an issue. I just have read that certain apps won't work and want to avoid having a phone with no camera or no social media apps such as Snapchat. Thank you all ahead of time.

If all you need is just core functionality then I would there is nothing wrong with running the stock rom. Everything will work right out of the box and all of those apps you mentioned should run just fine. Not to mention you should get really good battery life. With that said if you like some of the features that come with Nougat based roms such as better Doze and Camera API 2 support so you can install apps like google camera and give you camera a nice performance boost then go for it. I have installed all of the aftermarket roms available in this thread and IMHO Paranoid turned out to be the best. I havent had a single issue with it and it has the latest drivers taken from Oneplus 3's source code.

Thank you for the quick response. Given the fact that you have gone through using custom roms, have you been able to use snapchat on Paranoid? I have read that custom roms cause the app not to work. Also, for someone who has never used an android device, how hard is it to flash a custom rom? I am very interested in having a better camera, as I will be coming from a Lumia 950 XL (it has been deteriorating and Microsoft seems to have given up on W10M.). I know that this isn't on that level, but anything I can do to get the gap smaller is good. I am also interested in other features, but have to ask - is your battery life significantly worse running a custom rom? That would be a turn off. Thank you again.

Nope my battery life is near identical to stock and everything works on Paranoid. My favorite thing about it too is that all viarations of Google camera also work which will give you great pictures and videos if you play around with them far better than stock imho. But play with it first you will find that you can do far more on Android than you can windows mobile. The ecosystem just doesn't compare. If you want to to install a rom then follow the guides but make sure you do your homework before just jumping in. It's not difficult but a screw up could brick your phone. But there are also many guides for unbricking as well

Lineage has new Android versions first, but doesn’t have good battery life on this device, use a different ROM. If you want Snapchat, you can use a ROM that passes Safetynet or maybe Magisk’s hide feature. Oreo ROMs don’t pass safetynet, but some other Nougat ROMs do.

This is great news that the camera actually improves. Do you have snapchat issues with this rom? I just want to ensure I am able to enjoy everything android has to offer (well, as much as possible on a year old phone for now), as I have missed quite a bit of apps on W10M.

This is very helpful, but I am confused how to tell. Do you know any roms that pass safetynet? Thank you both for your help.

Paranoid does, so does AICP I think, both for nougut, not Oreo ones yet as SELinux is not working on Oreo. There are others that probably do also, but I haven't tried them yet.

This is tremendous. I am already turning into an android fanboy and I haven't even got the phone. It is quite impressive that the opensource community can get the latest editions stable on these devices. I just saw no need to go buy a galaxy or near $1K smartphone when the SD820 is still a powerhouse in my eyes. Do I have to root to install Paranoid, or just unlock bootloader and flash? (I may be missing a step but am going solely off of how I understood the guides)

SD821, not 820, the model with the 820, the so called elite, has nearly no development.
You have to flash a file to unlock the American model’s bootloader. (The SD821 powered x727 I think it’s called...) the Chinese model x720 has an unlocked bootloader, but is missing US carrier frequencies so it’s worse for Americans.

It looks like there are the same roms though. I even found paranoid. Is the 820 to 821 really that big of a difference? This thing was so cheap.

It stinks because I had an additional coupon bringing this to $120s. A dual sim (necessary for work) phone with a sd820 for that price seemed too good to be true and now it seems it is. However, if I can still get the play store ill be fine on any rom (would prefer a custom).

So ya you got the Elite. I do recall there being a couple of ROMs for that phone just poke around this forum and I believe you will find them.
you can find all the detailed specs here:

The only thing I would really be concerned about is band support and if you will get LTE or not. It looks like its a mixed bag here:

[Q] What is the best ROM in 2019 for Note 4 Exynos

Hello & Happy New Year
Tell us what ROM you're using and for how long?
also what root method does it have [if it is rooted] : Magisk or SuperSu
Your Info can be great help for ppl on stock like me who wants to use a stable ROM ​
Have a nice day

If you started this topic than I would say that you should share with us first .

Go ahead and read the forum of Exynos. Try to understand what you want to do before you proceed, take risks and learn.
Hundreds of ppl here have done the same, it's no shame to it.
It's the best way to get your answers right.
Have a nice year, you'll need it.
PS: yes, it takes time, not everything in life is at the touch of a button

Best ROM is always stock ROM.
100 percent stable and everything works.
Use MagiSK if you want easy root / xposed.

Currently Refined Nougat, made under the XDA username Ananjaser1211
Its features:
—A fully ported Nougat ROM (7.0) with Samsung Experience v8.1
—+1 to +3 hours of SOT (Screen On Time) with edited kernel settings
—Everything that every Samsung phone offers (Edge Screen, Samsung Themes, etc.)
—Great Performance
—Root with either SuperSU or Magisk (I'm biased with the latter)
—Support for extended batteries
Some of Its Bugs and Fixes:
•Samsung Camera can't record videos—use other camera apps like Footej or Google Camera from APKMirror (the latest arm7 version only)
•Echo during calls—there's a fix for that on the first page, use that and use your earphones 'cause the fix will disable Loud Speaker mode
•No Blue Light Filter and AOD—use this at your own risk; for Blue Light Filter, use 3rd party apps like Twilight
•No fingerprint unlock—no hope on fixing that as its development stopped last month
•Broken RIL at N10U—no hope on fixing that
Been using this since August, and I'm not going back to Marshmallow ever again, because this gave life to my Note 4 from its rotten update. And despite of its bugs, they're so few that I can say that it is a stable ROM for the Note 4. Try it, and you won't regret it.

Let us know if you find Oreo lol.

You wait, 'cause the maker of Refined Nougat is building LineageOS 15.1 (Oreo) for the Exynos Note 4.

Nemesisrom 6.0.1
Is great rom
Stable with no problems in call or bt
I can't judge the speed compare to the stock but everything is good

It was. But then Anan changed his mind in the last minute, so, alas, he abandoned it and has never released it sadly. (Check the Refined Nougat Telegram group, and scroll your way up for verification.)
Update: Upon further checking, it's on the way. He just needs to fix audio, video recording, NFC, and RIL, then it should be good to go.

There is one LineageOS for the Exynos Note 4 (LineageOS 14.1), but it has had been abandoned, and IDK if it's stable.

unofficial Lineage OS 17.1 ?

Just stumbled upon this, but it seems kinda sketchy referring to @Quallenauge (who's listed as inactive - sorry if you aren't ) and XDA, but having no thread about it here on XDA...

You can try this version, but make sure you perform the migration script (official -> unofficial) if needed.
I was too lazy to create a new topic for this version. I have a YTX703L and it runs as good LOS16.1 runs. So I found no show stoppers.

Works pretty well
works pretty well...but ive flicker and glitches on the display...its getting less in the last build...will you go on and work on the newest Android version ?
thanks for your great work

Hi
I've been watching these forums like a hawk trying to get my tablet to run smooth considering the bad software from Lenovo.
Would you say it's working well with this version?
If the battery life is good and the bugs aren't too many , I wanna try it!
My now Lineage 16 is working alright, the tablet is fast but the battery is not as good as stock sadly.
Is is good enough for a daily driver?

Have been experiencing some lock up after long idle time. I mostly use my Yoga to watch movies and use MX Player. A few times would find launcher unresposive when come back from work and the only recovery is to power cycle. I do get restart option on long press of power button, but when choose to restart tablet does not come back on its own.
As for the battery, I've decided to attempt rebuilding it using new individual cells. Will post my results if I succeed or not.
Once/if battery issue is resolved, I probably will roll back to Lineage 16 and wait for a stable 17 release.

Just installed, working well
Thanks very much to the dev for continuing to release builds for this device. Just upgraded from OS16 today. Install worked really well with no issues. So far it's running nicely. New gesture navigation system is working in Trebuchet launcher, so now my phone and tablet are the same, it was annoying before having different interfaces on different devices. Excellent work, thanks a lot!

The last update was 10.08.2020, do we see a new one?

It looks like as we get no more updates, so I will go back to 16.
Sorry

surprise, surprise. Just after I went back to 16 a new 17.1 update arrived, dated 17.09.2020. I did a dirty install and it worked out.
Thanks

However, I am still wondering if it is worth switching from 16 to 17

If you are happy with Android 9 , keep it. If you are willing to have Android 10 than go for it. What new, I have no idea.

Request - Play Store - How to? - Gifting some tablets :) -- They are using LineageOS

Good afternoon,
I have some rooted HD 8's and HD 10's *Both using Lineage OS.
Is there a pretty decent guide on exactly what to download to get play store working?
I have some tablets I'd like to give to my parents after working this out.
Thank you in advance.
Its a late Mothers day gift and recent Fathers day gift.

@likwidchz I have strong doubts that playstore (Gapps) is working on anything else then on android.
I've flashed Ubuntu on a Fairphone and Playstore didn't work there.
So imho you gotta flash LineageOS to use it.

I see.
Which LOS?
Tried any Gapps yet?

I think that might be the issue. I don't know what to install.
on the HD8's I have
lineage-15.1-20220102-UNOFFICIAL-giza.zip
On the HD10's I have
lineage-16.0-20220506-UNOFFICIAL-suez.zip
If there is a later OS for either of those tablets please let me know and ill upgrade that.
What do I flash?? is that what OpenGapps is?

As I don't have your device you gotta check first if it's 32 or 64bit.
Then choose the appropriate file from here.
I usually take pico.

Thank you, after going back and forth a tad with it, I realized just that. I'll use pico as I think thats the only thing they will need.
Thank you again!

Allow me to lead your attention to the app Netguard-no-root by @M66B.
As I understood you want to give the tabs to your parents.
With that app you're able to block internet access for each app (even system apps) separately and these apps don't even notice that.
I've bought protocolling (useful for beginners when setting up) but it works free as well.
All games I use are blocked and half of the other apps as well.

I kind of realize now either one of two things.
The lineage OS latest june release uses lots of battery when powered off and just sitting.
or these tablets battery life I bought on ebay is just old.
How long should these things be able to sit on a desk and be off?

Imo there is no general answer to that.
I experienced that even the same LOS number behaves not the same on different devices. I think that the kernel chosen by the dev is the culprit.
As an example: one tablet on LOS18.1 can be off for days consuming nothing while one phone on same LOS uses around 10%/d even when off as well.

okay well crap, I guess thinking out loud, I wonder if it makes sense to put the stock amazon distro on it if there is one available to flash with twrp. That might be a bit less weird for them.
I just know if the battery dies, phone calls will be happening lol.
