As of 30-01-2017 the sources have been included in LineageOS, created new thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-s2/orig-development/rom-lineageos-14-1-tab-s2-8-0-2015-t3551027 as the project is now original LineageOS.
This ROM is BETA and not ready for daily use at the moment​
Marked as BETA/EXPERIMENTAL, as all uploaded images after 7-2-2017 are untested by compiler, as I don't own the device. (have one on loan for a few weeks) (Donations to fix this are welcome :fingers-crossed: :laugh: )
LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community
First I would like to thank the following developers :
@RaymanFX
@CTXz
@Sarum4n
I used @CTXz his T710 work and @RaymanFX's T815 image to base this cm 13.0 build on.
Special thanks to @Sarum4n, as he loaned me the T710 to test the builds and debug the boot issue we had. All except lte functionality i stested. (as the T710 doesn't have lte)
Before you start
THIS ROM IS ONLY FOR THE SM-T715 AND MOSTLY UNTESTED BY DEVELOPER
Code:

* Your warranty will be voided !

* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,

About the ROM
Current state of ROM : BETA/EXPERIMENTAL
Everything except what's reported below is working. Nothing 'fixed' yet, first build.

Fingerprint scanner not working (included, but not working)
Camera not working (killed it with kernel update )
Vibration not working (probably also kernel)

Instructions
How to install Lineage 14.1
If you haven't run stock Android 6.x, flash that first with odin. (image won't boot without this step)
If you don't have TWRP yet, get it from here : TWRP by ashyx
Download the ROM and the Gapps that are located below to your device
Reboot into TWRP by holding VOL UP + POWER + HOME on boot
In case things go wrong make a backup
After the backup has completed return to home and select Wipe and then Advanced Wipe
Now ONLY tick Dalvik Cache, System, Data and Cache
After ticking those, Swipe below to wipe
Once the wipe has completed return to home and select the ROM
After you selected the ROM swipe below to install it
After the ROM has installed flash the Gapps
When all of this is done, reboot into system, wait, and enjoy Lineage 14.1
How to recover from issues
Looks like the reset to recovery (<HOME><VOL-UP><POWER>) is still broken on some or all T710/5 & 810/5 devices with this build.
Press and hold <HOME><VOL-DOWN><POWER> to enter 'download' screen.
Select cancel <VOL-DOWN>
Immediately press and hold <HOME><VOL-UP><POWER> to enter TWRP

Jumped the gun a bit, as it's compiling now. The issues are overcome and the build should work. (Want to have it online as soon as it's upoloaded) All info in OP is correct, except the latest build link. (need to upload that first )

Thank you! Will test this.
Quick question. Is LTE module working? And which gapps shoud i install, arm or arm64?

Uploaded build and updated link in OP.

Don't know if lte is working, don't have a T715, just a sleep-over T710. I'm now repacking and flasing so I can test it there.
The device is arm, so you need arm gapps ans root package. I test with opengapps pico.

See OP -> How to root. Things changed in Lineage, root isn't available by default anymore.
Tested image on T710 and it boots. Screenshot added to OP.
Camera isn't working. As it did in cm-13 build for T715, I can check what I killed.

Okay, installed it and it boots. WLAN works, LTE also works but not on first boot. Only thing I noticed is that vibration is not working and camara also. But all in all its very smooth. Will give this a week and report again.

I killed the camera in the process of getting screen back up. (Kernel config) When I remember correctly, vibration is also a kernel option. Will look into this and post a build when I get a solution.

Installed and works!
Just installed the ROM. I can confirm, that everything is working as described above, perfect! Thanks for the great work, i will continue testing and try to support as far as i can.
One first, little thing i just found by chance:
When opening settings app, the last menu entry 'About Tablet' shows 'SM-T815' under 'Device Model'.
Not a big deal, just wanted to report.
Thanks again, i appreciate the work done by you all!

Thanks for the Rom :good:
Since I own the T715 I am waiting for this.
Will give it a try during the weekend

The T710/T715 sources have been included in LineageOS github on 30-01-2017, so I'll be moving the thread over to the official development section. (or be more precise, create a new one there)

Hi,
Have Problems with YouTube (Videos Looks after ~30sec in Zoom) and Facebook Videos are Not starting.
(On a T715)

Please report the issues to the correct thread, as this one is abandoned. (we moved to original development) (And fixes to bideo playback are made and upodated images will be posted there )

Other then that the sources are coming from LineageOS github, nop. At least there are no changes in my sources, some in LineageOS sources, but I didn't notice any differences.
This was a test build to see if all was transferred correctly.

Ok.
Then I will wait for the next Update.
Except the mentioned problems the ROM already works fine for me.

Hi,
Have Problems with YouTube (Videos Looks after 30sec in Zoom) and Facebook Videos are Not starting.
(T715)

I think, I'll give it a try. Actually I'm using [ROM 5.0.2] [Kernel] [Mod] Tab S2 [T715-T715Y] v3.0 By Jafangie|Deodexed|Rooted . But there are still some issues, like failure "Gallery stopped".
Best regards
Tim

Same in T710 but it's random, I mean the YouTube problems

Great work, but this was built for the 10'' model. The screen size of the rom needs adjustment to fit exactly for this model. Other than that, once the important issues get resolved, this is my preferred ROM for my Tab S2. Already installed.

You can try to set 700 instead of 768 dpi.

Yes, the camera isn't working.
In the upper tiles I found a button for the torch. The tablet hasn't a torch.

Sorry, this i my third post:
GPS isn't working . No signal in sight.

GPS isn't working .
Adaptive brightness with manual correction isn't possible.

+ hotspot won't work, video zooming in while changing to higher resolution

I use the fingerprint sensor a lot, maybe if this will be fixed i'll try the rom. I've heard about 7.1 coming for some 9.7" Tab S2 variant...not sure if 8" version will receive it too. But i didn't hope. Samsung teached me how to kill a device without major updates with my previous device.

Lineage 14.1 is Android 7.1, so yeah, it'll be there for T715. Fingerprint sensor isn't working on any Samsung device (at least on any Tab S2, 2015 or 2016 release). This is being worked on, at least for all Samsung Exynos devices. (common lib)

Yeah i know that Lineage OS is Android 7.1, but i was talking about official one by Samsung. I've heard it's coming for some Tab S2 9" variants but it's not sure if it will be avaible for 8" models too. Anyway, hope that the fingerprint will be fixed soon thaks for all the work you do guys

Hello and a big thank for your work so far. I gave it a try (2017-02-06 build) and liked it very much. Despite the camera problem I encountered a strange behaviour when receiving the first call: I was able to pick up but couldn't hear anything. Then I tried to analyse the issue the behaviour changed - no incoming calls were possible. When I called someone from my mobile they could pick up the call but audio wasn't working. I couldn't hear anything and was not heard. Mobile data worked like a charm over LTE. Do you have an idea how and if this could be fixed? I would like to use Lineage OS as productive OS on my T715 and yes - I am using it for making phonecalls although it might look funny to see me with an 8" device attached to my head. I didn't try if audio would work with a BT device, but maybe I can test this on this WE. For now I'm stuck with stock rom again.
Thanks & Regards, Simon

As I just have a T710 on loan, I can't test RIL and call related issues. Mic should have been fixed, but I'm not sure.
As hardware libs were rewrittento change back to Samsung ril instead of the AOSP one, I had to copy a few gts210ltexx patches to gts28ltexx. I just did a recompile and uploaded the image. OP is updated. Haven't tested it. (I don't own a T715 and haven't had time to test if it'll boot on the T710)

Hello, thank you for the new build. I gave it a quick try, but unfortunately the SIM module didn't recognise my installed SIM card. I tried shut downs etc. So telephony is broken . I rolled back to stock immediately and it worked again.

LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. You will need to provide your own Google Applications package (gapps). LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.

You tell me
Other issues?
Before posting in this thread, make sure of a few things:
You used the search function of the forums.
If you are the only one having a problem. Boot into recovery, wipe data/factory reset, reflash the rom/gapps and nothing else. Boot up and see if the problem persists.
Make sure your post is relevant to this thread.

Fixed the camera Thanks @DarkFrenzy
Removed unused drm blobs
Updated the time_daemon from shamu
4/10/17
Fixed glitchy power off animation Thanks @DarkFrenzy
Removed button backlight settings (They are unsupported)
Lowered the first boot time by enabling dexpreopt (The zip is a bit bigger but the old boot time was just unacceptable in my eyes)
Enabled some core system files to stay in ram so things should be a bit smoother.
Fixed adb not working unless you had selected mtp as the usb type
4/8/17
Initial release

I have redone the device trees from scratch based off of the galaxy s4 mini trees. @DarkFrenzy did the same thing awhile ago but he did not keep the history so it was useless to me. I also wanted to redo it because it lets me understand it better. My end goal is for it to become official but for that i have to fix the camera. But i have already upstreamed the kernel commits into the LineageOS msm8930-common kernel.

Thanks for still supporting our T217S. I'll give it shot and report.

Thanks for the Support for this device.
The camera is working fine in my RR build which I built with latest changes from Serrano tree which has some libc fix for camera.
For screen bug you have to set animate to true in device Samsung qcom repo like this https://github.com/FaArIsH/android_...mmit/51f24a5eed4203356c6669614f4dcbe979d74cc4
Yes its better to start from scratch then using my trees I m very lazy to use github that's y I don't use it the best way.
And also its best to give credits to @arco68 instead of me.

My trees are based on the latest serrano tree's i am not sure why the camera does not work. Thanks for the suggestion on the screen bug the next build will have it i merged in the samsung qcom repo.

New build in OP
Changelog:
Fixed glitchy power off animation Thanks @DarkFrenzy
Removed button backlight settings (They are unsupported)
Lowered the first boot time by enabling dexpreopt (The zip is a bit bigger but the old boot time was just unacceptable in my eyes)
Enabled some core system files to stay in ram so things should be a bit smoother.
Fixed adb not working unless you had selected mtp as the usb type

Thank you!! I'll be watching to see how this pans out.

New build in OP
4/13/17 build
Fixed the camera Thanks @DarkFrenzy
Removed unused drm blobs
Updated the time_daemon from shamu

I spoke too soon, when I wake it up from sleep the backlight is off.

New update in OP
This unoffical thread will now be for test builds that i deem stable so the community can test them before i merge the changes into the "stable" lineage builds.
Changelog:
Removed more unused drm blobs
Fixed backlight issues (Reverted back to the original liblights)
Update prima wlan firmware (This should fix 5ghz wifi let me know though i do not have one)

I am having a problem that everytime I try to install is comes up with error 7 and doesnt do anything in twrp.
Update:
Looks like I needed older version of twrp. It flashed waiting on bootup

Another problem, when doing the setup at first boot up I select new device and it crashes the wizard. I cant get past the wizard at all.

Hello! Is there a way to port this over to SM-T210(R) and if so, could anyone give me resources and tips to help this project?
Thanks!

No sadly the other variants of this tablet use a different cpu/gpu so a direct port is not possible

Is it safe to flash the wifionly.zip file onto this image so I can remove the annoying Sprint messages (I have no intention of ever using the mobile functionality)?

LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 10 (Quack), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.
Code:
/*
* Your warranty is now void. Or not. Depends.
* It's probably expired anyways :D
*
* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please

*/
LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts. LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.
All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit Gerrit Code Review.​
What's working?
Audio
Calls
Wifi
Hotspot
Mobile data
GPS
Bluetooth
Fingerprint
Camera (both photos and video)
NFC
Sensors
Vibration
Others I have forgot
What isn't working?
Echo present in calls for the other side (no fix currently found)
Video recording with stock camera (fix known, will be implemented in next build)
Encryption and extended storage via SD (possible to fix, didn't have time to debug yet)
Stretched preview in camera, photos are fine (fix has more downsides than upsides)
Supported variants
Galaxy A3 (2017). Dual SIM is also supported.
All variants should be working but only A320FL is well tested since all developers have it.
How to install
Make sure you have latest bootloader and modem before installing this.
Make sure you are using the latest OrangeFox build. (the older ones will fail)
Make sure you have flashed the repartition script.
Download the Lineage build, optionally GApps and Magisk.
In OrangeFox format data. (Menu > Manage Partitions > Data > Format Data)
In OrangeFox wipe everything except SD and OTG.
Flash LineageOS.
Optional: Flash GApps (rightafter).
Optional: Flash Magisk.
Reboot.
Generally it's ok to dirty flash, but if you encounter issues a clean flash should be the first thing on your mind.

Nice work, thanks!
Any guess what could cause the SM-320FL to hard reboot when I insert the microSD card, choose to extend the internal memory, then start to format? It rebooted at 20% of the formatting process, then reboots all the time when I give the PIN code after the bootup and it tries to read the microSD card (I guess). If I take out, no reboot of course.
Edit: any temp. workaround? Formatting in twrp or in another device? (For using it as an internal memory extender, not just as an external storage.)

Hello. First nice work !! I used to have your Lineage 16 which worked fine and decided to upgrade to Lineage17. Yet I have some troubles with the camera with the error "unable to connect to the camera" and camera won't launch. When having this error I have spotted that there is a camera icon in the status bar and I can't get rid of it. Else no other problem detected. Thanks.

I am not the author of Lineage 16.0, I only use the same mirror
The maintainer of LineageOS 16.0 is @McFy.
If you have the problems with the camera, this sounds like an app using the camera when you try to use it and I haven't been able to reproduce the problem. Please check all your apps and report back.
Hope you like the ROM

Ok thanks. Another issue : I can't get split-screen working with any apps. And you?

Other issue : the echos in calls...but well-known issue on lineage. Hope you will find something...

That is good we do have a separate thread of LOS17 now.
Is spoofing (for microG) already included? Not sure whether patcher works for LOS17 already. If one of you guys here get it working with microG - please rise a hand.
Is OrangeFox a must have or can I keep latest TWRP?

From what other users told me spoofing doesn't work with MicroG.
You can either use the TWRP included in the repartition script or latest OrangeFox. Either way it must support /vendor or you'll get error 7 while flashing

I think you misunderstood this. The Rom is either spoofed (but obviously not, what a pity!) - or it has to be by external tools like Nanodroid Patcher. Otherwise microG will not work. But as I checked that some time ago, the Patcher couldn't handle Android Q. That's why I am asking. So best option (and less effort) would be if ROM is spoofed already.
Vendor I have already with my Treble+GSI LOS 16 Rom.

Yup, ROM is not spoofed out of the box, so your only hope is nanodroid patcher, which doesn't seem to work in Q :/
Also if you've already got Treble, you can flash this with the TWRP you are currently using

Hello, thanks for your great job.
I have two points :
- When using your ROM, after UI start, I have the message system_error_manufacturer (msgid="8086872414744210668") popup. I googled and chek the code isBuildConsistent. On my phone, the two checked strings seem ok. So I dont uderstand why I have this message.
- I try to build myself with the gitlab manifest readme. My first atemp was ok but I also have the system_error_manufacturer error message. Some days latter, I try to patch the function with a big /* */ to avoid the check and always return true. I sync the lineage code and patch the isConsistent() function, rebuild and flash my rom. My phone keep on the bootimg anim and never start. On the /proc/last_krnl, nothing else than some SElinux warning. I try with androidboot.selinux=permissive on kernel command line but same result. I delete all my lineage root and resync all from scratch but the build did not boot anymore. Please, could-you check if your build boot with the last comit of lineage 17.1 and android_samsung_universal7870 ?
Thanks by advance.

I am building myself and running the latest at this time (using the crdroid device tree) and everything is running perfectly for me! (even with a few patches of my own like enabling dark mode in defaults app and a few command-line programs like rtl-sdr, no gapps (f-droid only)). Added screenshots to prove it indeed boots.
If I'm not mistaken this ROM uses the android_samsung_universal7870 device tree as it is on Gitlab?
Then the only few bugs I can talk about are the USB settings unable to be changed live while that worked on the outdated device tree from Github (screenshot can be provided), and the Camera, but I know that's already WIP.
(Sure there's echo in calls but... No one was successful at fixing this and even the crappiest patches I tried myself didn't work)
Thanks to all those who works on this device tree.

The provided Rom of the dedicated XDA thread run fine on my device but when building myself, I have the same problem : traped on bootanim.
Strange, I supose it's my buid env, my laptop is on Debian 10 and I did not make any mod on the standard base.
I will try with a VM and Ubuntu LTS as sugested by AOSP Project.

Thank you for great work, can I ask from where can get latest modem and boot-loader without download whole firmware?

Hello,
Problems are solved ?
Echo present in calls for the other side (investigating)
Video recording with stock camera (fix known, will be implemented in next build)
Encryption and extended storage via SD (investigating)
Stretched preview in camera, photos are fine (probably unfixable)
And stay at home.

The rom goes very fast, the only thing that is really annoying is that when making or receiving calls the call interface does not appear, is there any way to solve this problem?

* I am not responsible for what may happen to your device, it is simply a solution that worked for me *
I found a solution for this problem the problem was in the NikGApps the shortest solution is:
1
Flash the rom first then reboot
2
Boot up, set the device normally and turn it off
3
Start recovey and flash NikGApps ( preferably the latest Canary version:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/nikgapps/files/Canary-Releases/NikGapps-R/03-Feb-2021/ )
4
Reboot.

I recommend you to make a clean install, but you can try dirty. As for stability: almost everything is stable, but I would not recommend it if stability is critical.

So, everyone writes that even if the ROM has easily discoverable bugs, BUT, how stable is this ROM? I'm trying to find a good one for a daily driver that won't let me down in an emergency but so far it seems that all the ones I've seen are either a beta or have obvious bugs even though they're called "official" The only one I would potentially end up on is MIUI.

Can it be used as daily Driver?

Netflix and other apps thar block rooted phones are working fine?

Hi, I was using LOS 17.1 for MicroG without any issues but recently upgraded to LOS18.1 for MicroG (downloaded from lineage.microg.org and verified the download). Everything works well except for the camera. Out of the box camera app freezes frequently and then I tried Open Camera and a another camera app. Open Camera is a bit stable but still freezes regularly. Problem is worse when the camera app is being called by other apps.
I note that this has been reported in LOS forum but wondering whether there is a quick work around for this problem.
Many thanks.

Hi, actually this is the wrong thread to post it.
But your solution is to replace new cam blobs with oldcam blobs and flash a kernel that is made for oldcam blobs.
I am attaching the oldcam blobs file for los that can be flashed through recovery. But note that you must change the kernel afterwards that supports oldcam. Otherwise camera will not work at all.

Thanks very much for the response. From what you are saying, I feel it may be easier to just downgrade to LOS17.1 which I was using before? I guess the other option I have is to wait for the next update to see whether the issue will be fixed in that release.
Thanks for your suggestion and clarification.

i am also using los Q because i find it the most stable one. I m using loscam patch in Q as well for better video quality although.
And the camera issue wont get fixed until and unless someone takes over the development of los. currently it has no maintainer and tge builds we get are automated with los source side changes, not device side changes.

@Walden0, I thought I might give your suggestion a try before downgrading to 17.1 version. Can you please clarify the following?
1. To add the old camera blob, I could install this zip via Yellowfox Recovery?
2. How can I find out which kernel will support this oldcam blob?
Many thanks.

I have never heard of yellowfox recovery but if its based on twrp then most likely it should be able to flash the zip. (maybe you mean orangefox, if yes then you can flash)
The kernel should have "oldcam" or "old" in its name.

Interestingly, after I did my post, I just opened Settings->Apps->Camera and pressed 'force stop'. Then I started Open Camera which is what I normally use and so far it appears to be behaving OK. I tried a few still shots and one or two short videos - no freezing as yet but it is too early to know. I will keep testing over the next couple of days and see how it goes.
Thanks for your prompt response.

Just to report that the work around by disabling the Camera app so far have fixed the problem.
Any one who has the same problem may want to try out the following steps;
1. Go to Settings->Apps->Camera->Force Stop
2. Then use an installed app such as Open Camera
Note this is not a permanent solution but a work around and this has to be done each time the phone is rebooted.
EDIT: updated to 6 Dec 21 version and the camera behaves even worse than with the initial install! The above fix does not work anymore although it worked most of the time with the November update.

This ROM was abandoned, pitty, much more polished than official https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...8-1-for-redmi-note-7-lavender.4381893/page-10.
But both suffer from the same issue: no Mass Storage Gadget so that UMS can work to make memory as USB drive.
