Hi guys! GSM Arena says that this tablet comes with Android 5.1 a.k.a Lollipop. My Tab E is 4.4.4 a.k.a KitKat. Sammobile has no Android 5 or later version for this model.
Is there any particular reason to go custom or not? Thanks.
That's because they're listing both the international and the US version. The US model has a Snapdragon 410 cpu, and received a Lollipop update. I'm not sure why they left out the majority of Tab E users, because performance-wise, the international Spreadtrum T560 model is even a tiny bit better, at least compared to a Galaxy A5 2015 with SD 410 chipset.

The Spreadtrum-based T560 is a fair bit slower than the Qualcomm-based T560NU. The T560NU and 8-inch Galaxy Tab A have the same hardware (other than screen resolution) so if you look at a page such as this, anywhere you see "Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8" you can assume the T560NU would perform the same.
Performance differences aside, I can only guess that Spreadtrum never updated their code for anything above Kitkat. I guess they're about as reliable as MediaTek as far as updates go.
T561m
I have a t561m that also stayed in Kitkat. A feather. Also I can not find another Rom to update.

Has anyone tried this rom?

From what I've read about the site it's difficult to register & you have to pay to download though that part seems to be through forum points.
Here is lolipop and marshmallow ROM for SM-T560
I was looking around on 4pda forum and came across cm 11, 12.1, 13, and 14.1 here is
Cm 12.1 running lolipop
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BylEf8QZTNxZSkZUeDZIb0h3Tms/view?usp=drivesdk
And here is cm 13 running marshmallow 6.0.1
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ewM0DjQ4ee8sR9qd4n4XC8ZrrH9_Tedi/view?usp=drivesdk
After you have installed which version you want then download google gapps for what you need here is that link as well
https://opengapps.org
And if you want to take a look at the other ROMs yluse the google web I tool to translate the page into English when on 4pda forum or 4pda tab e t560 enjoy.
I thought I would update this link with cm 14.1 here it is it runs better with pico gapps

Doesn't look like any are for the T560NU. The one for CM13 comes closest, labeled as "gtelwifi", but that's not the T560NU. The others look (by name) even further off the mark.
SHHHH... I can´t believe that. I´ve been struggeling with that for years. Trying to update my old TABE 9.6 SM-T560 to some newer Android than 4.4 KitKat. I need to run a certain app on it, that supports 5.0 and newer only. I´ve used this rom "And here is cm 13 running marshmallow 6.0.1"
And it works like magic. With gapps 6.0 pico - I can even get to the play store. Unbelievable!!!!
Thanks a ton!!!! Heaven on earth!
good stuff

can confirm 14.1 nougat works with T560 (getlwifi) tho it shows as model T561 in sysinfo, only gripe is recent apps button no work & RAM has decreased a whopping 1 Gb, use proper TWRP & don't LET TWRP flash SuperSU flash the zip yourself from within twrp.
pico 7.1 gapps is required for cm 14.1
edit: been using for 2/3 months, most stable, no complaints.

How did you installed this on the SM-T560?

Hello! I just want to update my galaxy tab 4 7.0 (sm-t239) lte to android 6.0 or higher
Any custom os or rom would do. Help me if anyone knows please
Thanks in advance!
No. Basically Impossible. The marvel pxa1088 chip in this device, never had it's sources (of drivers for hardware, to make a higher version of android work on this device and successfully activate and use the hardware) released. Developers essentially have nothing to start with.
Someone reverse engineered, supposedly from the stock firmware, and built an android 5.0 lollipop ROM but it is definitely impossible to use as essentially NOTHING worked, including Wi-fi.
So unfortunately you can't. Better buy a phone/tablet with exynos/Snapdragon chipsets inside as those got more support.
Blisspop 4.0.1 - Android 5.1.1 - UNOFFICIAL - Degaswifi - SM-T230 / NU
Thanks to sub77, we got a booting Android 5.1.1 ROM. Downloads: ROM: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347819963 Recovery: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B5EVF8f93NAlWUFWeHRjdXFXMkE What is highly recommended? DON'T INSTALL...

Well DO NOT INSTALL IT! THIS IS JUST A SAKE OF TELLING YOU HOW WILL HAPPEN IF YOU INSTALL ANDROID 5.1 ON THIS TABLET. WIFI AND ANYTHING DOES NOT WORK!
Hi guys,
Totally out of the android world since years, however currently using Moto E4 and need to install a good Custom ROM to have Android 9 installed on this. Can anyone please check the screenshot and let me know if that's possible? If so, what process should I follow and which ROM should I go for?
Thanks in advance!
Not possible ATM. There is no pie roms to flash, your best bet is lineage os 14.1if you want up-to-date security patches.
Thanks for the response. I have heard that custom ROM can't be installed on Moto E4 Verizon. Is that true? I heard that it's bootloader cant be unlocked so how would I install the ROM? I'd highly appreciate if you could help me here.
Actually I use Slack and they have deprecated their app and it requires Android 8 or above. So, I'm stuck for now lol
Thanks!

Hi everyone, I hope you can help me. My name is Francesco, I am an Italian boy. For work reasons I need a higher version of my android 7, all are fine. I saw that the site is full of roms for my device. I don't need it to play but to continue working as the app I use will stop running if it still finds android 7. So, I kindly ask you which rom can I install already tested without bugs? I sincerely thank you.
Hi,
desperately seeking Android 9 or above for a galaxy Tab E 9.6 wifi european version so i can make some use of this tablet for a few apps i need to run.
Found loads of NU versions, which do not work.
Are there any out there, or was the non US versions not advanced beyond Android 7.
thanks
Will
no, that does not exist

There is a 7.1.2 which I use in my own Tab E (SM-T560 non NU) and most apps should run on it.

I downloaded from a thread here in XDA ages ago, I couldn't find it again now (maybe 2019). In fact it's a ROM for SM-T561, which works fine with the SM-T560 and it is a 7.1.1, not 7.1.2, sorry for the confusion.
