Hello there
As the title tells you, i would like to have a clean OS for the Galaxy Tab A 7.0 (SM-T280)
With clean OS i mean a completely debloated rom without any extras. As slim as possible. Just a launcher and Core GApps (Playstore + Maps)
Maybe a debloated ROM or a debloation script. or a List of removeable Apps
I notices that the LTE version of the tablet, the SM-T285, allready got some non Touchwiz roms.
CM13 by Jedld and CM14.1 by Jedld
The best what could happen would be, if a developer from the T280 could make it compatible.
Jedld said:
SM-T280 Users: Unfortunately this rom would probably not work on it since the SM-T285 and SM-T280 have different kernels and slightly different hardware. I don't have access to this device so it would be hard for me to port it over. However I believe there are a lot of similiarities in the device tree that can be shared. If a dev with the SM-T280 is interested I can probably help.

It would be great if someone could help
Greetings!
A month ago i inquired about the likeliness of a ROM for the 280. There was some work being done on it but unfortunately it stopped. As long as devs don't have the device, no work will be done for it. So unless we (requesters) bundle and buy a 280 for a dev (something unlikely to happen) we can only hope.
i want it to
Just orered this tab, was at special price, sad to hear this

Hey I'm in the same boat with the clone of your device called the Asus Trio TX201LA. The memo pad shares the same 4.2 rom, same IFIW, Same soc, same droidboot version etc etc. Basicly its just got an all alluminum case but same exact tablet. Mine can run ME302c ROM but camera and doc support is lost. I am working on a rom using BLISS. If you are still looking to update PM me. Perhaps we can work on this together.

Team Bliss is a lil less helpful then I thought they would be, I have had little to no guidance being a noob. So unfortunately I have not gotten it off the ground, nor would I be able to with a locked bootloader anyway. I still use the windows half of the tx201la nearly daily as my main machine and love it. I wish the android could be updated and the me302c shares a lot in common. I have asked asus to look into offering unlock because that would allow me to test a lot of builds already available like the one made for the galaxy tab 3 10.1 which shares the same soc and may possibly boot up on my tablet and even the me302c. If we pester asus to release an unlock tool like they have for just about every single zenfone 2, 3, 4 and 5 (all the older zenfones have the same intel soc family) we are half way there to getting a rom since there has been so much development for this soc already in the zenfone and galaxy tab 3 10.1. Asus is somewhat required to give us something since the atom z2560 is susceptible to the spectra variant 3 (newest called next gen) and if they offer any sort of update it would be an upgrade for us. It maybe advisable to start a petition to get this done. Would you want to try that route, we need unlock first and foremost and its most likely we can convince asus to do that with enough signatures or a small claims lawsuit even. thoughts?
Hi guys, We all have the same issue, a beutiful "still" working tablet with no support.
I read several people asked for a petition or to pay a dev to work on a rom.
If you all are thinking it is worth we could **** how many people around the world
Have still this tablet, or should I open another topic?
As in th title...
Oreo is coming for some few devices. Samsung, Lenovo, ZTE, Google and others will receive first roms, stock or porting, in next months. I don't know if there'll be possible porting for Meizu phones but... perhaps...
What do u think about it ? It'll be possible to see a porting in our PRO5 ? If anyone reads something regarding this, let us know :highfive:
Depends on whether faust will continue working on the Pro 5 or if he is able to port previous work into a generic 8.0 ROM (drivers etc.). Would love to see a LineageOS for Pro 5.

Same here.
I have been waiting quite some time for a custom rom for SM T819 but I haven't see much progress in this. I looked for a device with similar specs for our device and came across this device which already has a Lineage OS build available. Its practically the same device but with a different screen size.
LeEco Le 2 Specs: http://www.gsmarena.com/leeco_le_2-8053.php
LeEco Le 2 Lineage OS Github Repo: https://github.com/LineageOS/android_device_leeco_s2
It will be a good starting point as I think for getting a custom rom for this device with a great potential. I have read that having spec devices is a great start to porting a ROM from one device to another without specifically building it from the source. However it includes a few build prop tweaks and changing few lines on kernel which I have no technical expertise.
Looking forward for your thoughts.
It's true, personally I don't have this tab but I had experience with a Tab I used which was similar in specs with S4 Mini ..
You'll get bugs though and you can base device tree from the Leeco Phone to build ROMs
Anything new here?
Seems like @tuxing built a modified T813 LOS build for himself, but of course no LTE in there. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73992901&postcount=552
i really hate the lack of support for LTE Tablets :/
Hi guys, I don't know if i am on topic but 'cause of this lack of ROMs for the T819, can I install the one for the T813? I know there is no LTE, but if I wanna try the ROM can I install it or it is incompatible with the T819?

Not that easy, but I had a nice chat session with @LuK1337 and he explained me how to get things built and boot on T819: https://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-s2/general/guide-build-lineageos-15-1-t819-t3721477
It's not that difficult as I thought. @LuK1337 told me it's simple and even I managed to get it working.
Through Xiaomi's new policy phones manufactured for Chinese market
are not been able to run MIUI Global ROM and vice versa.

if you dont have an unlocked bootloader it wont let you flash a global rom.
this is basicly to prevent people from buying chinese versions from aliexpress.
the problem is that these sellers open the bootloader and install a fake global rom / global rom on it...
if you have an unlocked bootloader you are fine, your playstore wont pass safety net though
...
Now Xiaomi Phones which are manufactured in China Factory/China Hardware, can't be able to run MIUI Global ROM with Locked Bootloader.

Damn... I should've bought global version proudly made in USA with American hardware...
I just hope LineageOS will come to our phone so I can be done with all the Miui Xiaomi BS
Are the call problems on global rom irrelevant to this?
or somehow Xiaomi made the global rom incompatible with Chinese models?

Oooh, believe me, it will...
How are those AliExpress sellers unlocking the bootloader and installing fake global ROMs? Do they have an army of people making fake MIUI accounts and waiting for a month for an unlock code? Sounds to me like they use logic probes to flash the fake ROMs directly.

That's a good question.
If it is so, why would they do that?
What's the benefit of this for Xiaomi?
This looks very bad.
They can make all the excuses they want, but I think there's a pretty clear agenda here.
I'd be surprised if there's still a development community for any new Xiaomi phones in 6 months, given how fast this is deteriorating.
As long as they keep device price down, bootloader unlockable and release kernel sources everything will be fine with development community... That's all devs need.
MIUI fans are those that should worry...
Prices are likely to stay down.
The other two ... doubtful. Some people are already waiting 3 months for bootloader unlock codes. If that becomes the norm, that's development stone dead.
They've also done absolutely nothing about releasing kernels in a more timely fashion, despite promising it repeatedly over the last year. If anything they've gone up slightly.
People ignored the warning signs with Huawei, and others before them, or hoped for the best (I did). Look where we are now.
They actually released Max 3 kernel source pretty fast, less than a month after device launch...
https://github.com/MiCode/Xiaomi_Kernel_OpenSource/tree/nitrogen-o-oss?files=1
The thing is no custom roms coming out of China forums which makes me think this device has no China market success... That wasn't the case with first Max. Custom roms started popping up first week after release even without kernel source...

The problem is understanding real difference between the China & Global versions, how they decide to allow or not allow flashing of the 2 versions.
In the official announcement they imply this restriction is only for devices released under 2018.
On 4pda they seem to think that there is no actual hard difference ("model identifiers"?) between Global and Chinese Mi8, but there is for the respective Mi2s, for example.
If I read correctly.
https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=906971&st=940#entry75262442
Looks like all restrictions are in bootloader - unlocking, ARB, market variant. There is no hardware differences/restrictions between any of the Max 3 variants period. Otherwise you will not be able to run different MIUI versions with unlocked bootloader.
devinfo partition keeps the bootloader unlocked status. Not sure where the bits defining China/Global device are kept... yet...

That may be but it's the people who flashed the Global Rom on a China device who have the problems
with phone calls / broken modem.
Would they have built in a restriction in the Global Rom so you could not install it on a
China device to work properly ???
We won't know till proper official Global rom shows up on en.miui.com. All I see right now are global roms from under the table so to speak full of bugs.
Most of us purchased the Mi Max 3 which was manufactured for the mainland China market, because the "global" variant of the phone was only released a few weeks ago in Singapore, Hong Kong, etc. If the official warning on the Xiaomi site that phone's manufactured for the Chinese market cannot flash global ROMs and vice versa, then our solution is to use the xiaomi.eu ROM. Xiaomi.eu is a modified version of the China ROM, but is entirely in English and other European languages with full Google framework services. The MIUI 10 8.8.9 China weekly development ROM available from xiaomi.eu is rock solid. Once Xiaomi releases a China stable MIUI 10 ROM for the Mi Max 3, xiaomi.eu will tweak and release it for the English speaking world, so for those who bought their Max 3's before a global variant was manufactured will be fine as long as they use xiaomi.eu.

I'd be very surprised if this isn't selling well (very well) in China. It's an incredible value proposition, and large screen & large battery are seen as very desirable in both that and other Asian markets.
However, I think the 3 month wait for BL unlock *is* the norm now for Chinese and select other Asian users .. whereas rest of the world it appears to be totally random. Could be a couple of hours or it could be 3 months.
I think you'll find that's the reason why there's little to no Chinese development activity. As I said ... thin end of the wedge, IMO.
