Are There Any Good Custom ROMS Out There That Support Samsung Galaxy Tab S4? - Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers

I like the Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 when it comes to hardware, it is a well made tablet. But I want to switch the ROM on it for a more privacy-friendly ROM. I do not want to use GAPPs. Initially and preferably I would like LineageOS but as of now it seems LineageOS is not officially supporting this device and for those who tried it has said it is buggy. Are there any good ROMs out there that support the Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 that do not need GAPPs and is privacy-friendly. No tracking and open source?

Bumping this as I am in the same situation wondering the same thing. No one has any answers?

It seems the answer for this is no. Not really any custom support for this, unlike with the Tab S3.

4.3+ Roms with Galaxy Gear Support

I am currently running cm11 on my m919 s4 (mdl). I love it. BUT. It does not support my galaxy gear smartwatch.
I have tried a couple 4.3 Roms, but all the data issues really suck. I just took my watch off and went with cm11.
Does anyone know of any kitkat roms that are in the works that may support the galaxy gear (touchwiz)?
How likely is it that CM will add Gear support?

CM is not gonna support your Galaxy Gear. And chances are high that S4 will never see Kitkat, so far there is no 4.3 and no one know when its coming.

For my watch, it seems like I would have to wait until 4.3 official comes out and a custom ROM is based off of that, and doesnt have modem/network issues.
Without the watch, cm11 (kitkat) is pretty nice! It will hold me over until theres a good 4.3 ROM.... then I'm leaning towards the watch
Why wont CM support the gear?

[Q] Cyanogenmod on Tab S

Hey, I did a lot of searching but couldn't find anything about this (surprisingly) so..:
Is somebody already working on a Cyanogenmod version for the Tab S / will there ever be one?
Yes it's being worked on. If the Dev cracks it you'll see a thread in Development.

I would find it unlikely due to the fact that is hasn't happened on the Note 2014, Note Pro, or Galaxy Tab Pro, or the Tab S, which all feature the same Exynos 5 based SoC, and all have far more custom rom and development work.

The sheer awesomeness of the prospect makes it metaphysically more likely. I call this Awesome Theory and I just made it up.

[Q] Samsung Rom

Hallo, I would like to know if I can flash to my LG a rom from Samsung for example that from S4, I am asking because I have a low end device from alcatel and after rooting it I was able to flash roms from samsung or Sony. The main reason I am asking is because I bought recently a samsung gear s smartwatch which needs samsung devices to run fully. I managed to make it work on LG but not all features are present, I am really looking forward to replying me......

Request: "S8 mini": S8 Port/Rom for S4 mini I9195

Hi Devs and modders,

Is it possible to create a (modified) S8 rom to port it to the S4 mini to have a "S8 mini" ?
There are a lot of S4 mini user who would be happy to update their phones to a "S8 mini"
So is there are skilled dev/modder who could makes this dream of us S4 mini users come true?
Thanks in advance.

I can do it. But since i traded my s4 mini with an galaxy s3 4g....
Hi!
I wanna help u, how can I contact u?
Any news about this? I am sure that a lot of s4 mini owners would love this rom.
I want this rom...
What features do you expect it to have and which version of Android? Was it just meant to port the style (UI) of the S8 on the latest stock Rom for the s4 mini LTE?!
I'm not a dev, but I might also be interested to have S8 mini rom. I just bought a Note 4 now and repaired the Touch of my S4 mini. Now it looks like new from the outside, only the software-inside is still looking ugly. It might be the first try of creating an own rom..... I'm ready I guess, gonna look later today on it. (Y)

https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-2/development/rom-hyper-rom-unique-t3567369
It's very difficult as the last Samsung update is 4.4.4 so only you can add s8 themes , icons ,fonts etc
Any new about this? Anyone is working on it?

Apparently not... So sad... It would be best if it had same Android and features as S8, well some of them at least, no bloatware...
I dont think this will ever happen. you could install
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga.../rom-cyanogenmod-14-0-s4-mini-3g-lte-t3471761
Its Official lineageos Android 7.1.2 for our phone from arco68. His rom works very well. Use it since 6-7 months.
You could possible find install theme/launcher/icons to have look a like a galaxy s8 (mini). I as example use nova launcher and MIUI Icons (doesn't like the newer ones). And MIUI 6 Wallpapers.
It's without any bloatware. Android 4.4.4 from samsung has around 350? packages (around 90 I disabled). Lineage os around 150-190.

It's impossible to make an s8 rom because reasons.
We don't even have official 6.0 TOUCHWIZ, so yeah.
But is possible theme kitkat stock rom, like Hoplite or VROM
Please, anyone?
Don't know if possible but a S8 rom for s4 mini i9190 users with samsung features and fonts in the new android 8.0 would be incredibly brilliant. If it's someone who could make it, it would be awesome. Please, if you read me and know how to do it, make me happy. :fingers-crossed:
S8 Mini
I really need this rom because i love the s8 features, I would love this rom to be android Lollipop 5 or Marshmallow 6...:good::good:

Custom Rom Development Request for Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Neo

Hello everyone,
This is my first ever thread on XDA. I have two Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Neo (SM-T111). The thing is, the tablet slows down a LOT due to the 768MB of RAM and a REALLY SLOW processor. Currently, there are no custom roms for this tablet. I do not like Dr. Ketan's custom rom. I want a fresh, clean version of Android. I was patiently waiting for a group who tried making an Unofficial Lineage OS rom for the SM-T111, but it failed. The tablet has Android 4.2.2 (Jellybean) and it has too much bloatware. Also, the Samsung TouchWiz UI is NOT optimized at all for this tablet. Despite the tablet's screen resolution being 540p, Samsung decided to make all the wallpapers and icons close to 1080p. The TouchWiz UI seems to be really bogging down this tablet. I decided to at least remove the bloatware, wallpapers, ringtones, etc., but the rom is really hard to deal with. Can someone PLEASE help to create an Unofficial or Official version of LineAge OS? I really need it. I have owned both tablets for over 8 years. PLEASE HELP :crying:
