Can SM-T290 be downgraded to android 8 or 7? - Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers

I work for a school and we need this tablet to run on an older version of android for certain app that we use. It came with Android 9 shipped out of the box. Can we possibly downgrade to earlier versions? How can I go about doing so? I haven't been able to find reliable apk version 8 installer. I saw that the SM-T290 was released mid 2019 and was wondering if it would still be possible to go on android 8 or 7 even if it was being shipped with version 9 from the factory.
Appreciate any insight.
Thank you

Custom ROM for the SM-T357T

Hi,
I couldn't put this on the ROMs forum so I put it here instead. I have been looking endlessly for weeks for a custom rom for the sm-t357t (t-mobile) (RR, Lineage, etc.) with no avail. It is really annoying bc the standard tab a gets nougat and this one is stuck on lollipop. I would build one myself, except I have low end hardware and am a noob when it comes to building ROMs. I am rooted with twrp and would be grateful for any guidance or ROMs.
Thanks
I too would like an update for this particular T-mobile tablet. I need 6.0 or better for Google Family Link.
Same here- Looking for a Galaxy Tab A (SM-T357T) ROM. Android 6 or preferably 7.

With no official release of MM/N, I highly doubt a custom rom.
I have this tablet too. I know the sm-t355 is basicly the same tablet and I believe it got updated. Why can we not get this flashed our device. Im not sure.

t380 questions

I've got an opportunity to get a new t380 for free. Can anyone tell me if the OS can still be updated from nougat to pie? Also, considering this is a 2017 build, is it even worth the effort?
Thanks for your thoughts,
dow
Hello, Yes, the device has Android Pie One UI, it is also possable to get twrp and get masigk running, though you will most likey want to stick to Android Nougat beacuse in Android Pie, Masigk is not installing. But this can change. Also there is no custom roms for the 2017 Tab A, but this can change. The tablet will most likey not get android 10, but aleast you will get longer support on Android Pie than on Android Nougat.

How can I upgrade p10 lite from android 7 to at least android 8?

Some of my apps are started to stop working since they need at least android 8 while my p10 lite has android 7. When I try to update it from the system menu it says there are no updates available. How can I manually install at least android 8 or any other more recent android on my phone? Where can I download those androids and how much safe are they? Am I going to be able to use the official android from the Android website or should I trust some modified android versions developed by enthusiasts?
