so over this past week i updated 3 tab S4 (SM-T830 64GB wifi) tablets from custom ROMs to stock android 10 then to the latest HavocOS GSI. all of them work amazingly! for the last 2 days i have been trying to flash the same GSI and many others to a 256GB S4 model with no luck. i dont know whats going on. it was previously running ArrowOS Pie but i updated it to stock android 10 and tried several GSIs but non boot.
is there something different about the 256GB model? im starting to grow irritated to the point of sending this thing flying out the window. any and all help is appreciated

Now that google announced to stop updating the device in September this year, will Cyanogenmod/LineageOS stay working on this device? So we will still get android updates? And if yes, for how long do you think? Thanks in advance
Hi,
I think we will get android 8, but if not, dont worry, there are a bunch of costum roms will available. Example my Nexus 7 stopped on MM, but i use N 7.1.1 Lineage on the tablet. And there are a lots of other 7.1.1 rom available. So the 5x will be the same.
And also, the nexus 4 started with 4.2, stopped on 5.1.1 but there are 7.1.1 costum roms for that and they works fine. So dont worry about how long we will gets the latest android. I think at least to Android 10.

Thx mate. Never had a device with real cyanogenmod/linageos before. Wanted to make sure this device was still worth the money for some years.

Can I find a list somewhere that tells how much internal and RAM memory each version of Lineage OS needs?
And, I guess older versions often need less memory than newer versions?
I am thinking about to install lineage OS 14 on a Samsung Galaxy S4 mini.
I have found out that there is a Lineage OS 14 version for this phone.
But, can I find 13 or 12? If so, do the need less memory? Would it be better to install a older version?
And, how stable is lineage OS 14 for this phone?
And will Samsung Galaxy S4 mini works as a USB host with Lineage OS 14 installed?
For s4 mini specific information please go to device sub forum.
Here some general considerations: People often say old devices are too weak for modern android versions. I think this is a legend promoted by device markers for not providing updates. Early users of new versions often confirm that legend. But they compare stable old versions with unstable new versions. Nougat is OK now.
Regarding storages: main difference between nougat ROMs is preinstalled apps. They get even bigger by installing gapps. MicroG is a resource friendly (and privacy oriented) replacement for some gapps features.

Official LOS14 running fine on my S4 Mini & very stable (though dialer has crashed a couple of times when answering a call but I am the only person who seems to have this… maybe due to to fact I used the migration tool for moving from unofficial LOS14 to official LOS14 to move from CM13 to LOS14, so I can't complain) Install TWRP fromS4 mini neozone thread & update modem also if available for your S4 Mini version.
Ok, thanks.
But it would also be nice to know how much memory lineage OS need. It would be better to find a smaller phone than the samsung galaxy s4 mini, but how do I know if I can install lineage on it?
On gsmarena.com I can find alot of information about all phones, so I can see how much internal and ram memory all phones have.
Yes. It is not easy to find a small phone with good lineage support. It's not like Linux for PCs, where ram and disk space are the limiting factors. For custom android you need someone to build a ROM or do it yourself. S3 mini or moto e are OK.
Yoo!
As the title.
Want to know the most stable Android 8 ROM for D855 model these days.
Currently using LineageOS, and rip my battery since i made the updates.
Thanks in advance.
I have that problem as well. Because of Lineageos, charging takes four to six hours a day. I need to wait a bit longer oreo for a while or I need a new kernel.
Hi all,
I am the old owner of this device and was wondering to which latest possible Android version can I update it. Even unofficially supported ofc. Currently running 6.1.
Any helper links are welcome.
Thank you.

Hi, I updated my Tab S T-800 with Resurrection Remix based on 14.1 and it works really great.
Tried LOS15.1 too, but wasn't stable.

Good Luck
Guys, I have Samsung Galaxy TAB S (SM T805) if I update it to a newer version will it be faster?
Or if I root the tablet?

Newer firmware doesn't necessarily make the device faster. There isn't much you can do about a 9 yr old device.
Since the T800/T805 are not Treble compliant, the only way to run newer firmware is via custom ROMs, although I doubt development on devices this old gets much attention.
So what I understand is there is not much to do with the tablet to make it a little bit faster.
What about root or that is a different matter?
And last question about
LineageOS 18.1 for Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 (SM-T805 - chagalllte )

Root is a different matter. In most cases, you can flash the Magisk app through TWRP, and Magisk will automatically detect the right way to root your device. If TWRP is not available, you'll need to patch the AP firmware file in Magisk, then flash to your device with Odin.

Would you be able to suggest which old tablets could make sense to flash semi-current roms onto? I tried to bring back some old device to reuse for home assistant display, but it's too old... Been thinking about these samsungs, but from this thread it's also a bit too old.

I don't have any suggestions, sorry. I have a Galaxy Tab A 8.0 (T290) at home that I'm running an AOSP GSI on, but those were released in 2018.

imho it's correct that a custom ROM doesn't necessarily make old devices faster, but I experienced it such that at least they don't get slower (except I9195).
Recently I was allowed to support development of Android 19=LOS 20 for my T325 and it runs like hell.
P600 and P900 on LOS14, T810 on LOS19 all using daily in different rooms.
I9195 on LOS18 (that is really laggy) N910F on LOS18 as backup devices.
I saw multiple commentaries that this phone runs better on Oreo than 9 or 10.
Even in audiophile forums they say that quad-dac drivers are made for android 8 only.
I never tried Oreo because i just flashed android 10 since the time i bought the phone.
Would you recomend to change to Oreo?
