Debloat file list - Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers

I have a T500 with rooted stock ROM. I know I've seen a list somewhere of file names of app that can be deleted to reduce bloat but I can't fine it. Anyone know where it is?
BTW, I flashed vbmeta and TWRP but when I tried to flash the LOS 19.1 ROM, it caused a boot loop. I assuming it was because I have a later stock ROM than the one used for 19.1, but could it be the TWRP version?

[Request] Can someone upload the Stock Boot.img? [Xt1686]

I've accidentally deleted last backup, and now left with magisk modified img. There are some problems with magisk 13.3 [unable to install any module, solutions are welcome.] so need to clean my phone and install it again.
Someone please upload stock boot.img
On build NPN25.137-67
I'd like to see the same. I think I might have backed up a Magisk modified boot image but I'm not 100% certain. I'm on the -83 release for US retail. If someone could provide the boot.img (or a twrp backup of it) of the 100% stock version on NPN25.137-83 that would be fantastic.

How to install stock image (P852A12V1.2.0B12_RM_data.zip) to restore back to stock?

This may sound dumb but I have noverity and twrp already installed and cannot get it back to stock by installing P852A12V1.2.0B12_RM_data.zip. Usually I can get this done in the recovery and update the zip file but it doesn't show me an option anymore. Is this possible with TWRP?
Currently on LOS 14.1 since that is the only thing I can load up (sure other roms work too but more interested on stock for Wi-Fi calling). I have tried tdm B14 boot stack and stocksystem files but I get hung on ZTE startup.
Anyone have any insights?
Update:
Got it working. Crucial step was to make system read-only in TWRP.

Multiboot - What am I doing wrong?

I want to have a Samsung Stock based ROM and a LOS/AOSP ROM on my phone and switch between them, but I can't get it working. I always end up on a bootloop at the S7 Edge logo.
My bootloader and modem is updated to latest version. I wanted to install Hyper ROM and LOS 16.
So I first installed Hyper ROM, downloaded the latest version of Dual Boot Patcher, open it, allow root access, go to ROMs in the app, select my System to set the kernel. Then I go to patcher section, add the LOS-zip, gapps-zip and magisk-zip (does magisk even work with this? have tried without but also no luck) and patch them as secondary. I reboot into recovery, flash patched LOS and gapps, reboot aaaand... I'm stuck at a bootloop.
This seems to happen no matter what I try, how I switch them around, also if I patch the Hyper ROM zip as primary first. Nothing seems to help. Am I doing something wrong here?

How to install Magisk v23 on GT-i9505?

Hi, I'm on LineageOS 14.1 Optimized by JDCTeam.
However I'm not able to install the latest Magisk.
Is it just not possible anymore because you need fastboot to install a patched boot.img?
I tried flashing through the regular way as a .zip file (just renaming the magisk apk into .zip) in TWRP 3.2.x.x. Also tried flashing the patched boot.img file from the rom through TWRP.
But whenever I flash it and reboot, everything force closes.
Any help on that?
Latest TWRP, latest LineageOS version (18.1), latest Magisk here. I have no issues with flashing Magisk in TWRP. In fact, I have lately had to dirty flash LineageOS then Magisk in TWRP, as a standard update in LineageOS via its updater causes a bootloop.
Fortunately this isn't my main device so....
In your case, I would update to the latest LineageOS as the version you have is really old. Updating may help.

Thanks for the reply, but I want to stay on Android 7 Nougat, so maybe it's in fact not possible anymore. But maybe somebody else has an idea.
