When I still thought I could continue using LineageOS 13 on my Tab pro 8.4 LTE (SM-T325) longer, and now it got discontinued.
Ending of support for the wifi version, means it should be the same for LTE version. :crying:
Because everything runs so smoothly and stable, unlike LineageOS 14 builds found in the forum which have many bugs like camera, torch not working. :crying:
Any chance of Lineageos 14 for Tab Pro 8.4 (WiFi and LTE) owners with bugs fixed?
Edit: Sounds like all of 13.0, sadly just the last version that supported our device. Makes sense I guess but sad to hear Likely a lot harder to get 14 working as we don't have any compiled drivers for things like camera under the new version of Android (no proprietary Samsung firmware for mondrianwifi runs the later Android and likely never will)
I'm happy to continue using it for the forseeable future
It's such a shame that the Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 got such a bad software support from Samsung and it was not that popular among the community. Its successor, which is VERY similar, was much better supported. It also came with Kitkat (4.4.2) and it was updated up until Marshmallow (6.0.1). Moreover, LineageOS has an official 14.1 build for it: https://download.lineageos.org/klimtwifi Since they are so similar, isn't there any chance to backport some of the work done on Tab S 8.4 to the Tab Pro 8.4?
So sad but it is true
I just found this out as I had not checked for updates for my 8.4 tab (MondrianWiFi) running 13.0 in the last few months.... When I went to just check for an update there was none and in fact ALL builds were gone. I guess I better save and backup my current build in case it gets corrupt because it's the very last update I will ever get. ? Crap
Is there an Archive somewhere that the last updated version of 13.0 could be found?
I was going to update from the last CM flash I did about 2-3 years ago and I seem to have missed the boat...

Luckily I went from the CM 12.1 snapshot to lineageos early this month. Here is a mirror I made of 2/11.

The mirrorbits link has been taken down, but it seems this build is the latest unless someone fixed whatever was preventing new builds.

THANK YOU! I just subbed to this thread yesterday, hoping someone would come through with a download. My tablet was running Slim6 perfectly, but I had a memory card crash, so was wanting to check out other options. Came here a tad too late to get the ROM, but fortunately you posted. How is Lineage working for you?

I also switched due to SD failure. It has been working nearly perfectly. My only issues so far have been somehow triggering the dismissible internal system problem on boot (failed gltools install?) and android n-ify not working as well.
Haven't bought a new SD yet, so I can't testify about that.
Technically have been having random crashes, but I'm pretty sure it is battery related as it is much more stable at higher percents/charging/low load.

I think mi note 2 has been out for a long time but it seems that developers without much attention to this phone. I'm curiously Why ?

It's the old story of lack of kernel source. Historically kernel sources have been released about 3/4 months after global rom availability, which happened a few days ago.
It doesn't help that availability all round has been limited for these. With so many people wanting the global edition and there being shortages of that model there's just not that many of these around at the moment in the hands of people that want to mod it. MIUI is very popular in China.
I'm hoping another 3-6 months we'll start to see some serious progress.
Luckily it's in the same device tree as a few other recent releases so there's some level of cross compatibility, lithium (Mi Mix) for example would require only minor modification to work and there seems to be more dev interest in that,
I did consider making a cooked MIUI rom for the Mi Note 2 (inc. xposed, root, a few tweaks here and there) but there didn't seem to be much demand and realistically if you want those features you already get them yourself without any real struggle.
I'm an old dev for CyanogenMod on Xperia.
I will try to put Lineage OS when the source of the kernel will be available.
A port can be possible with the source of the One Plus 3t (i supposed) but is better to wait official release of the kernel.

These Lineage builds are by HondaJohn88 who I'm working with.
I've been bugging him to post them himself (when he does I'll get the old thread locked) but he hasn't yet.
Be aware that not every build he uploads is one that he's planning on sharing (or even an improvement over the last) - occasionally things break and some are more for archiving than actual use.
He shares his work in the Mi Note 2 Telegram group so I'd recommend joining so you can find out which build would be the most worthwhile.

Hello xda community,
I would like to try my hands at building Lineage OS for the Galaxy Note 4 Duos. I was a little surprised that there seems to be not even an unofficial build for it (or cyanogenmod for that matter). Is there some technical reason why it hasn't been attempted yet that is specific to the Duos?
Otherwise, I'd be happy if someone could point me in the right direction. Maybe someone who already did it for a different model could post a basic guide since I have no experience yet in this area.
Speaking of it, my current level of experience is that I have rooted and flashed roms on android phones a few dozen times, and developed a handful of apps for android. So hopefully it's not too far outside of my skill-level.
Thank you in advance.
You can take a look at Note 4 General section, a new thread was made on how to build LinageOS for the Note 4 N910F/N910G. N9100 will not support 2nd sim if im not wrong, you need a dev who want to work on this project
Try this:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0By...llGSnVyVDVfRlE
I downloaded this from the Chinese website. The latest build is 29 April. Donno why. Give it a try.
Thank you very much, I'll give it a try when I get to it.
Btw. the url is incomplete, I'm trying the original thread.
Did it work for you? (the April 29 build )

Kind of. Fingerprint and HDR camera don't work, which was expected, but for some reason phone calls don't work for me, I can call and receive, but there is no sound on either end. Otherwise everything seemed fine and the phone performed relatively well.

now i want to update it to android 7 or later. but some problem i have. when i open it seems gt n5105.
but droid info says
GT- N5100 (kona3gxx)
bootloader N5105JVCMI2
which lineageos i have use to update android 7.1.2?
PLEASE HELP
What's that device? Only WLAN, 3G vor LTE?

it is galaxy note 8.0 gt n5105. Also it has wifi and lte
Think 5100 is similar.
Install android 7.1.2
I update n5105 from android 4.2.2 to android 7.1.2. Everything seems good. but there is no Samsung application. I install from Google play. But any of them does not work. Especially I want to use snote and spen. But does not work. How can I add samsung applications? İs there anything like Gapps may be called Sapps?
As far as I know, those Samsung applications will work only with Samsung ROMs. They need some proprietary functions not present in third party builds. There is software to use the pen, though. Coto Note comes to mind. Haven't used it for anything but brief testing, though.
Samsung apps mostly works only on Samsung Rom. There are some modded als also for Stock (vanilla) Android.
So if you use that 7.1.2 Rom you must find other apps than Samsung ones. They won't work.

Would you mind sharing the secret to getting that installed? I'm trying to do the same thing, but I can't get past the signature verification error. I'm not sure what to do.
Just got given Samsung GT-N5110, Yikes KitKat lol... Lets not!
Good old Odin, TWRP and now trying this build!
Glad I found this post with useful links, near end of 2021 too!!
Thanks!
This is crazy was asked can I do anything with it was going in Bin! I said wait No! that tablet is old, guy said you can't load much on it because it was old...
Actually really good old tablet, I went from memory and this forum...
I am not at Noob so skipped through a lot and did what I membered!
Same keys as S3, put in Download mode, use Odin to blast bootloader, reboot and quickly press right key combo before official software kicks it out.
Reboot again and see friendly TWRP as your bootloader.
I just saved a not bad old tablet from bin! I gonna keep, so glad for this forum!!!!
My main and only phone is a Samsung Galaxy A10 because it is my only 4G device decided not to mess with it BUT was phone to try with device I was given as tablet... Never push your luck!
I have made a brick before in my time!!!
Happy ending here!!!
Nice to be back!
Yes that old Samsung Note 8 has got new lease of life!
What memories from S3 that good old reflash Boot loader and hit key combo before original bootloader is retained!
Got TWRP going, got my Gapps and root, job done, nice!
WARNING:- Anyone with old Note 8 please don't just jump in! Yes it is possible, don't ask me if your a Noob, don't ask me what is a bootloader, what is Odin, what is TWRP, what is Root?... You can turn your tablet into chopping board! I am playing with Lineage on mine, you playing with Cucumber on yours?
Thankyou awesome links!
Nice Job, last step TWRP root file and enable in Dev Options!
Fully Rooted and enjoying the fact someone is still updating build for patch level.
Old tablet but not that bad once you get rid of KitKat lol!
This guy was going to chuck it out and said to me it will be limited because of old software... He told me dispose of it.... Just showed him now and he asked why did Samsung do this update for you not us, answer is they didn't!
This is why I love Android over Apple!
I've use ROMs in the past, but never with the Essential phone. In fact my phone has run so well, I've never even factory reset it a single time, let alone put a ROM on it. But with Essential gone, I need a way to keep my phone secure.
I'm wondering what the best way to keep stock android (nothing wrong with stock) but allow myself to get the latest android updates as they come out. In looking at the ROMs there still seems to be some issues with bugs, and since this phone is my daily driver, I'd like it to be as stable as possible.
So is there:
1) A way to get the PH-1 on stock, but still get the important security updates somehow?
2) A rom available (even if android 9) that works for PH-1 that would be super stable but also get all new security updates?
Thanks in advance for any help.

I could have sworn I saw something that basically said you can download the latest stock version (that includes security updates) and flash it every time there is a new update. But I guess I could have misunderstood?

That was the case until Essential went out of business - you could do OTA updates, or download and flash yourself. The stock security updates were only provided by Essential, and the Feb 2020 update was the last one for this phone...

No way to stay on stock & get security updates (well you will get some direct from Google ie the Google Play System Update, the last one shown lower down this page
https://source.android.com/security/bulletin/2020-03-01
and can be found in your settings under security, but its only a fraction of patches)
That means your best option is probably the Android 11 GSI when it's out of Developer Preview in a July (?) and hope it's bug free, else Lineage etc .... not that you want custom roms, sorry.

Basically I'm looking for something safe and stable, whether it is ROM or otherwise. Right now I'm stable, but not safe. So you think my best bet is move to Lineage (to become safe) and then switch to the GSI when it is out of developer preview (and stable)?
From what I have read and asked here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/essential-phone/development/rom-evolution-x-4-1-69-t4073153
This ROM will give you what you are asking for as far as regular security updates are concerned. I have been waiting for Lineage to release an "OFFICIAL" version of Android 10 for our PH-1's but so far nothing. Also I would not mind going on Android 11 but then I do not think that will get monthly security updates either so I am thinking about trying this Evolution ROM out.... I have never worked with a phone with A/B slots so that is my only concern but after reading all the threads I am starting to understand how that works.
Hope this info helps you out.

Guess for stability & functionality it would have to be LineageOS.
Looks like May version is ver 17.1 (Android 10), not sure how this compares to previous version re bugs/working functions, but that means previous ver is already a month out of date on security )

I'm on EvoX the only thing tht is not t working very well, is tht if u fast forward or rewind on Netflix ur phone reboots, hopefully fixed next update, but I'm happy with this ROM, the touch lag is almost non existence for some reason, glad they managed to fix tht. Also L1 certification is still there. The 360 camera workes better in this Rom for some reason. The best part is the customization though, so much

Guess for stability & functionality it would have to be LineageOS.
Looks like May version is ver 17.1 (Android 10), not sure how this compares to previous version re bugs/working functions, but that means previous ver is already a month out of date on security )

Also DO NOT use the Essential USB cable & DO NOT relock boot loader!

Very strange that no one has started a new thread in the Custom ROM section about this... (This being an official release version of Lineageos 17.1) you would think it would be bigger news? There is still only an Unofficial thread... strange..
Anyway IronRoo let me know what you decide to do and how it goes... I am still on the fence as my PH-1 is currently working perfect on stock 10 but it is of course on the Feb 29th security patch... plus I haven't done a custom ROM install since my LG G5 but I hear it is like riding a bike... lol :silly::fingers-crossed:

For LOS, I think we should wait until their server is back, and few more releases come out.
LineageOS 17.1 for Essential is so new, only couple releases, and still in updating state.

Yes, many will agree, though I'm OK with giving it a go but I need to buy a new high quality USB cable as kid damaged my Samsung one and have only a cheap 6" one which I'm not sure I trust to flash without bricking phone.

Just did a quick websearch and a few have tried flashing it reddit and here on the 16 thread, and it's suggested wait for next release (first recovery had issue, but now fixed, but next release of ROM should have a few fixes & Lineage build servers are down so not sure when new release will drop)
Does anyone know where I can find the last OFFICIAL LineageOS image for the Nexus 4? I'm not interested in more recent unofficial builds. Thank you.

The last official builds of LOS 14.1 are still available for download from someone's ftp just using Wayback Machine. Unfortunately, all latest LOS 15.1 links are down now.
And here you can find one of the lasts — or maybe the last ever — official release of LOS 15.1 for Nexus 4.
Bro, I'm looking for it, but it seems that many official ones have stopped supporting it for a long time, but there are private ones. I have seen some that support Android 11. It should be the latest version. I haven't tried it yet. What do you think?
Thanks all. I flashed the Nexus 4 with the link Waldold provided above. Feels snappy and no showstoppers so far. Many thanks.
2021redmi2fans,
I am happier with older android releases, so I haven't been looking for private releases with more recent android versions. I just use f-droid.org for apps & no apps I've tried need anything so recent. I actually might even try an earlier release later on.
