Instructions
It is STRONGLY recommended to fully wipe your device before flashing and please avoid restoring system apps and system data with Titanium Backup as this can cause stability issues that are very hard to debug.
If you believe you know what you're doing - then fine, go ahead, but please don't complain if you experience any strange behavior.
How to flash:
(Again: Don't do it if you don't know it!)
1. Download the ROM and GApps and transfer them to your device.
2. Boot to recovery (TWRP recommended).
3. Wipe the System, Cache, Data and ART/Dalvik cache.
4. Flash the ROM Zipfile.
5. Flash the GApps (optional, needed for e.g. Google Playstore to work).
6. Flash the root solution of your choice (optional).
7. Reboot your device.
Reporting bugs:
Grab a logcat right after the problem has occurred. (Please include at least a few pages of the log, not just the last few lines, unless you know what you're doing.)
If it is a random reboot, grab /sys/fs/pstore/console-ramoops and /sys/fs/pstore/dmesg-ramoops-0. (Do not bother getting a logcat unless you can get it just before the reboot. A logcat after a reboot is useless)
Remember to provide as much info as possible. The more info you provide, the more likely that the bug will be solved. Please also do not report known issues. Any bug not reported in the bug report format below may be ignored.
Code:
What is your--
LineageOS version:

I can say it possibly a bad download or something on your end I flashed this last night with very few issues I have not used LOS in a long time but I was impressed

For some odd reason it's not working for me. At first it gave me Error 7 code telling me that my device isn't a T550. Then I manually removed the "assert" check lines from the ZIP file to force the install without a device check. It installed. But I can't boot into the OS. It just kicks me back to TWRP every time.
Never mind, after trying once more, it finally worked.

It wasn't that bad actually, it seemed to settle in for me. But I switched back to an Oreo rom for the time being for the bugs to get ironed out. Now I'm dealing with a super sluggish ROM lol. Do you have any recommendations for a good Oreo debloated ROM that performs great on the T550?

Not oreo im trying to find anything that dont lag now
I ended flashing stock nougat and rooting it...
Been working on that....
I got so used to my s8 This tablet seems kinda slow lol I tried another rom I think that jazz rom but about the same lag and I couldnt remove home screen icons without uninstalling them the little popup menu wouldnt work
---------- Post added at 07:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:13 AM ----------
I still have expectations for this old tablet without any doubts there are a few of us out here with the 550 so we can band together and get something going I just got mine so Im stuck with the device for a while

Switched from a S8 to this tablet, that's real fortitude .. May I ask why you did this? The tablet is already antique. This is called a feature for slowing movement. Audio is working now, I will upload a new build tomorrow. I was able to install gapps without any problem and I don't feel like the device is "laggy as hell". Make sure to select Android 9 and ARM at opengapps.org, I choose always pico there and have no issues.

Sometimes that issue is caused by TWRP. It means that TWRP fails to get the device model, which is required for new install scripts. Consider updating TWRP.

Nice! Good News! LineageOS 16

Thanks for help us! Now, my tablet works. Ready, I test all in my tablet. Wow! It's very great apps or boot, all.... I really love in your new ROM LineageOS 16. If you tell me about the Audio doesn't working"? No problem.... I am using "headsets and bluetooth audio works", its better . ????
Thank you for great ROM LineageOS 16. I give you "Rating: 100% or 5 Star" I'm waiting in your answer!

Please make build for T555 (I tried to edit it, but then the animation doesn’t start up )
Put your aicp 13.1, which you did not even publish here, but there are two errors: the camera does not work, and there is no sound except vibro

I don't even get why you are trying to point the finger at me because of this. Trying to edit compiled builds is very dumb. Go ahead and compile it from scratch. I don't own a SM-T555 -> I can't test my builds properly. The result is a half-broken always-alpha build like the one on my afh account. That's the reason why there is no thread. Feel free to donate me that tablet, maybe I find some time to build it then for you.
I've updated the SM-T550 build now btw, audio is working now. I've tested the gapps-setup, too. It took me 30 seconds to get through. The device was fully wiped, maybe that's the reason for the speed..

Everything I need works fine
I just started thinking about using my old Samsung Tablet again as a remote.
When I saw that there is a LineageOS build available I just installed it.
Everything I need to use my tablet as a remote works perfectly fine and way better and faster than with the crappy touchwiz on our device.
Installation was done in 15 minutes or even less.
Thank you very much for your efforts!

Waiting for the stable version for this...
Thanks Virsys to keep alive this fossile

Good morning layman,
the version is quite stable actually. The only things missing are SELinux and the encryption/decryption of the internal storage does not work. May I ask you for the build number of the original operating system made by Samsung? These builds are for the SM-T550/gt510wifi/Samsung Galaxy Tab A 9.7 WiFi only. Have you enabled OEM unlocking in the developer options if there is this option?

Dear Virsys, now I'm using your Oreo AICP build, so I can't tell you the original Samsung os's build number unfortunately...
But it was crap with full of needless ****s :laugh:
Than now I'll test this Pie build soon!
Thanks for your reply and have a nice day!

My model: SM-T550
Just tried to flash and when it starts i get
Android System
There,s an internal problem with your device . Contact your manufacture for details.
When i start to setup if i skip wifi setup all goes fine but if i sign into wifi i get setup has stopped , other than that all else works great.

It's still an alpha version and it will stay alpha until LineageOS 16.0 is officially released. To minimize the bugs avoid dirty flashing and restoring apps with titanium backup. Use ARM Pie gapps from opengapps.org, I recommend using nano or pico.

Uneventful update from CM11 12/06 with TWRP, everything works well even without formating my data! It did replace TWRP with CWM 6.0.4.6, but whatever. My successful steps were as follows: boot into TWRP, clear cache, install this new CM11 1/4, reboot recovery, install CM11 1/4 again, install new gapps 4.4.2, reboot. 3G/Wifi work. Have not tested MMS, but I assume it works like it did on previous CM11 builds.
Transparency is disabled by default now (for everyone who's curious) because in the build.prop the "ro.config.low_ram" option is set to "true". You can set it to false to get transparency (and anything else that gets flagged as low-ram) back.

Yeah a day later I agree. You can quick toggle it to get it to work for a few minutes but it's not very consistent. Also, maybe it's the new WhisperPush or something, but I couldn't send or receive MMS at all. When receiving MMS, I would get a notification (both my SMS Popup and an actual notification) but there was no message in MMS.apk and it definitely never downloaded anything.

This one is a smoother and if data was fixed I think it would be great. Data drops drove me off this in hours. No problems flashing. Maybe you got a bad download.
12/6 was rougher and data drop plagued as well so not a DD.
12/6 was all good for me. I used it for almost a month without a hitch. Data worked fine too for me. Just the urge of flashing something new took over and I tried DU5 but was put off by random reboots. So switched to cm 11 1/04. Happy with it till date. Off course data is flaky but will live with it until it's rectified.

new build is up guys.
hopefully it fixes data.
Enjoy!
Running this latest build without any tweaks since yesterday. Data is stable and so is the ROM. Great work. Thanks. :thumbup::thumbup::beer:

[ROM][UNOFFICIAL][7.1.1][TEST] OmniRom for Galaxy Tab A 7 LTE (SM-T285)

This is a port of OMNIRom 7.1.1 for the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 7.0 (2016) LTE SM-T285. OMNIRom aims to be a community based project and is a lot "lighter" than CyanogenMod/LineageOS.
5.1.1 is the best that you can get from samsung right now and it is not known if they plan to do any upgrades. I have absolutely no idea why samsung chose to stay with the outdated 5.1.1 mid 2016 when we already got 7.1 coming out. This custom rom is probably the best you can get if you want an upgrade from Lollipop. Performance on the latest build is also better, you be the judge.
Though this is stable enough that I use it currently as my daily driver, make sure you read the pending issues below and decide if this is acceptable to you before you flash this rom. This rom probably won't get much use out of some people until bluetooth is fixed.
Based off on OMNIRom 7.1.1 N4F260 sources which is based on Marshmallow.
For more information on OMNIRom and its features see their site here.

https://github.com/jedld/vendor_samsung_gtexslte.git
https://github.com/jedld/kernel_samsung_gtexslte.git
Omnirom Notes:
=============
- omnirom doesn't have ffmpeg libraries unlike the CM based roms, but no worries since I ported over CMs libraries here.
Works:
- Wifi/LTE/SMS (Some users report data intermittently not connecting, though toggling airplane mode on/off can fix it)
- Audio
- Graphics
- Bluetooth
- Wifi Hotspot
- MTP
Does not work:
- Calls (needs testing)
- Camera
- GPS (no fix)
- probably more (need testers)
Download
========
Remember flashing an unofficial ROM on your samsung device will probably void your warranty. Don't expect samsung to support you if you have any issues.
As always flash this at your own risk. Make sure you have a copy of the stock ROM so that you have something to fall back to, which is highly the case when using an experimental rom.
See DevDB download section for older releases. Or click below for the latest release:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=23245
Note that this rom is pure stock and does not come with the Play Store or any Gapps, I suggest you download a micro gapps package separately and install it via recovery.
There have been reports that recent versions of open gapps don't work properly, it is advised to use older versions instead (e.g. open_gapps-arm-6.0-nano-20161109.zip)
Installation Instructions
==================
Perform a backup of all of your important files. This ROM is experimental and I will not be responsible for your loss of data.
Download the zip file and extract the tar.
Use Odin/Heimdall to flash the tar file to your device. If you are coming from stock oranother rom make sure you wipe first using TWRP. Coming from a previous version of OMNIRom for SM-T285 may not require a wipe, however please perform a wipe if you encounter problems.
Root and customization
===================
This ROM is a purely based on source and is not rooted out of the box. However you can easily root it by using TWRP to install the latest version of SuperSU.
If you want to customize this ROM and repackage it you may use this guide as a reference.

It will be a long shot, there are hardware differences, but nothing stopping you from trying it. Do note that the T280 has a padded boot.img see here, which means you need to get the boot.img from this rom and add an additional header in front of it before you flash it with heimdall or odin.

thanks Jedid
will look in a couple of days when I the Tab back (gave it to a friend)
EDIT
tried the ROM today...calling is a problem (for me) tried multiple times of reboot and allowed rom to settle before making calls (4g and data in out activity was showing-could go to internet)
The call does not connect and sits in dialing mode forever...if you try to hang up it then sits in hanging up mode and will not terminate
(shows a call in progress as if it is still on)...sms works
With all credit to you and all due respect...I stopped there-
think your very FIRST Lineage 14.1 was the best in all the Nougat ROMs
(the next one had issues with the drives seen but not accessible even though the MTP thing was purported to have been solved in that one)-i.e no real files just drives with overall sizes shown and then the lockscreen issue made it unusable (the PIN and notification method was risky as swiping the notification accidentally would lead to an inaccessible phone or maybe demand a reboot)
Works for me
I don't use the Sim functionality at all, so can't comment on that. I had to try a few variations of GApps to get a working Google Play service, and finally managed with the Dynamic GApps 20170215 Minimal build. Once I got that going, everything worked well. I'm using this as my daily ROM on the tablet now, so will report any further issues I have. Just wanted to say a big thank you! This ROM is very fast and smooth.
home button to wake up device
hi, i just use this rom and its really fast..
just want to ask how to make home physical button to wake up device beside the power button ?
Original Link worked but the file i got

The new one you have linked works

Very Similar to Lineage "LINEAGE-OMS-14.1-20171209-UNOFFICIAL-SMT285.tar".
In fact almost exact other than a couple of megabytes and an app.

Candy7 / CM13 ROM restarting loop issue

Hi everyone,
My phone has this restarting loop issue after flashing either Candy7 or CM13 ROM. Not sure if this is bootloop error because It got pass the Huawei booting logo, but as soon as it finish loading the Google App and go to the OS home screen it restart again and again. Worth noting that the phone restart from ROM loading logo (the blue face for CM13 or the Google Dot for Candy7), not all the way back from Huawei booting logo.
First I use TWRP to factory reset wipe, then advance wipe /system, /data, /cache / Dalvik, then install new ROM + Gapp, and got the sucess message, then reboot to system.
I also tried with out Gapp to save loading time, and it restart again when get to OS home screen.
Please advise what may cause this.
No issue when i restore back to B322 EMUI 3.1
I have US version unlocked MT2-L03, B322 version, unlocked bootloader, rooted, TWRP 3.1.1.0 installed.
I made a video clip of the looping: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7kRpdGN2qA
I'm going through the EXACT same thing. I tried CM13, CM14 and even CandyRom, and the same thing happened more or less. Even if I got the ROMs running for a while, eventually that LOD (Loop of Death) would hit and I'd have to again reflash. I'm now back to B322 (Lollipop) for stability.
Given that the SAME thing is happening on all those ROMs, it's leading me to think that perhaps there is a software issue with my phone. Not sure if this helps, but I do think it could be the way I updated to Lollipop (B322) from the original Jelly Bean (B148). I've done a LOT of digging, and it looks like the way I did it was not quite right, even though my phone has worked fine all this time.
Here is the XDA post that seems to detail the correct upgrade path to B322:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-mate2/help/how-to-update-unlocked-mt2-l03-to-t3422775
Basically, it looks like the correct path should be B148 (Jelly Bean) --> B309 (Lollipop) --> B322 (Lollipop)
Being rather new, I just flashed to B322 right off of B148. I am now wondering if this could be the source of my problems. Especially since I keep getting the "Error 7" for "unknown bootloader" whenever I use TWRP 3.1.1 to flash LineageOS or CandyRom.
But, if you successfully used TWRP 3.1.1 to flash, that means your bootloader was recognized (I got the Error 7). If that's the case, then we're both having the same issue and something else is indeed the culprit.
I strongly suspect that "something else" could be GAPPS. I've experimented with several GAPPS packages, and noticed that right before crashing and the dreaded infinite loop, something glitched involving Google apps.
Desperately want to leave Lollipop since Oreo is about to drop meaning we Android L users are in for a world of hurt if we can't migrate soon. :-\
I upgrade my phone B148-B309-B322. I also get error 7 whenever I flashed the ROM, so I have to manually delete '"assert" command line from ROM script to flash successfully.

My phone has been rooted for over a year now, I've had many roms on it doing that time. This loop started with a app I updated from the play store. Not sure it may be substratum will look into it when I have more time..
These problems is because of the room. Try to install lineageOs.
Thanks Kevinoriej,
Same looping issue on LineageOS, after loading to OS homescreen , phone restart.
Also get error 7, and manually remove "assert" lines in the ROM script in order to flash.

I believe the Error 7 message is because your bootloader is showing as "unknown". I downloaded an app from the Playstore that gave me my device's technical info, and sure enough, my bootloader is listed as "unknown". I forwarded a question to Huawei's EMUI team asking them if that happened due to unlocking it (using Huawei's official unlocking request). Still waiting for a replay. In order to get any of the ROMs to install, I had to downgrade TWRP to 2.8.7.0. Any version above that would trigger Error 7.
Out of curiosity, I then downgraded and flashed CandySix (with a corresponding GAPPS package) - and sure enough, the same looping happened. And again when I flashed CM13 AND LineageOS. The phone would successfully boot, get to the actual Start screen, and then boot again. I could NEVER predict exactly what triggered this. Also, I tried installing ROMs without GAPPS, and that didn't go well for me (couldn't get any of them to load properly without flashing a GAPPS package for some reason).
Something goofy seems to be happening between Google services and the custom ROMs on this phone. I'm not sure what's triggering it, but given the sheer number of different ROMs I've tried - ALL of which have the EXACT SAME ISSUE - I strongly suspect there is indeed a GAPPS problem lurking somewhere.
As a side note - I reflahsed B322 (restoring from backup) and the phone is again as stable as it has always been.
Is there an EMUI GAPPS package for Marshmallow and/or Nougat (i.e., pulled from Mate 7, 8 or 9) available for download? I'm game for testing.
RE: MT2 boot loop
(*** SEE POST #25 FOR UPDATED FIX!***)
I just noticed this thread, wish I found it earlier. I recently posted my discussion of the boot loop (and fix) here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-mate2/orig-development/cm-nougat-mt2-t3478345/page14
Bratzilla was right when he said in his post, "I strongly suspect there is indeed a GAPPS problem lurking somewhere".

RE: dead link for Open GApps previous versions & boot loop fix
Strange, it seems that in the past day Open GApps has purged their GitHub archive. The "Older Releases" button at their website still redirects to the GitHub repo, but it no longer displays any version other than the current one.
As long as it does not violate any policy, I can always post a copy of the Open GApps 08/11/17 ARM 7.1 Pico package.
Although I have not tried other GApps distributions (Delta, Beans, etc), in theory there is no reason why they shouldn't work, as long as Google Play Services is not newer than v11.3.02. I recommend the minimal GApps available. Installing "pico" was an important part of isolating, and simplifying the search for, the culprit.
As I mentioned in my original post, I tested all versions of Google Play Services on apkmirror newer than v11.3.02 (build format 436 for MT2L03), up until 08/26. All newer builds induced an immediate boot loop. A future version may resolve the boot loop issue and work fine on the MT2L03, but it does not seem to be available as of today.
Have been running custom ROMs on my MT2L03 for years. Boot looping problem began for me two weeks ago when I completely wiped/formatted my CandyROMs v7.1.2 06/15 install and flashed MDMower's 08/19 LineageOS. Began digging deep into the cause (knowing MDMower would not release garbage) and discovered the connection to Play Services. Have been running MDMower's LineageOS & CandyROMs v7.1.2 ever since without any issues.
Remember to use MDMower's TWRP v3.1N0-0, it is much more stable on the MT2L03.
Thanks again Endless,
I follow your instruction to flash Candie ROM and the matching GAPP from 6/15, all went well, no more bootloop. I will check the phone from time to time to see if the Loop of death come back, maybe once GAPP get updated it may come back. LOL... hopefully not though.
RE: MT2 boot loop fix (workaround)
Great, hondaman82 - so glad it worked for you. Funny, the exact same environment that you are using (06/15 CandyROMs with the matching 06/15 Open GApps) is what served as my "proof of concept" that current Open GApps with updated Play Services was likely the problem.
Although the proper GApps package resolves the boot loop issue, it is important to point out that it's more of a workaround than a fix. The root cause might be a bug in the AOSP/LineageOS source code itself, preventing MT2L03 compatibility with the latest versions of Play Services.
MDMower has just released a new build of LineageOS dated 08/29/17. I'll continue to test the latest ROMs with the latest GApps & Play Services to see if new commits/updates fix the problem...

Have you had the chance to try 0829 Build of Lineage OS with newer GApps? TIA.
Oh nooo.. the LOD (loop of death) come back, after 3 days of working OK... sigh.... back to EMUI stock
RE: new ROM builds, GApps, & boot loop issue
Yes, I tested MDMower's LineageOS 08/29 last night using the 08/29 Open GApps package. Unfortunately, the boot loop bug persists. However, the 08/29 LineageOS runs great with Open GApps 08/11 and is worth installing (at least for me). Hopefully MDMower will keep up the good work and release a build in the next week or two with the Sept security patch.
I'll continue to test and report back if there is any progress...

RE: return of boot loop
Sorry to hear that Hondaman82.
I can only speak from my own experience, which is that my MT2L03 has been stable for the past 2 weeks using Open GApps pico dated no later than 08/11. It is possible that your Google Play Services was auto-updated to a version newer than v11.3.02 (inducing the loop), but you won't be able to tell because you can't boot the corrupted OS to read the version number in app settings. If my boot loop returns, I'll do an ADB pull from TWRP to examine the Play Services package version (curious to see if there is an update correlation).
Goes to show what I mentioned yesterday, which is that the root cause is likely some incompatibility between the ROMs customized for MT2L03 and Play Services that can only be fixed by a commit to the ROM source code, a script, patch, or change to Play Services.
Let's see what happens, perhaps MDMower would be willing to offer his expertise? I visited Matt's website, GitHub and XDA profile, but it seems difficult to contact him directly....

RE: preventing Google Play Services auto-update
(***SEE UPDATED FIX IN POST #25!***)
For those of you willing to experiment further, there is a method that supposedly disables Google Play Services from updating. This might allow you to "lock in" v11.3.02 until there is a proper fix for the boot loop:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/delete-disable-downgrade-prevent-update-t3091832
Basically, this involves using a root file manager to create two empty folders entitled "com.google.android.gms-1.apk" and "com.google.android.gms-2.apk" in the "\data\app" directory, causing auto-update to fail.
I haven't used this hack, try at your own risk!
Of course, this works off of the assumption that updating Google Play Services beyond v11.3.02 is the only factor involved in the boot loop. I just haven't dug deep enough...
Mine (Candy 0725 build) went into LOD by itself a moment ago
Does anyone have a B322 TWRP backup ZIP? I as of this morning have 2 MT2 phones dead. One went into LOD about 3am and the other about 4am.

Thank you very much for your great work ? I like this rom
I will try LOS version tonight. Any known bluetooth or Mobile data issues so far ?
Thanks for the effort and appreciate the continued update for Nexus 6.
Hi, I appreciate the effort. Mind telling us the differences between ROMs though? Does the CR one have more features than the stock based Lin one? Still going to test them both but was just wondering, thanks.
mobile data is ON by default, and even when you're connected with Wifi, it still uses your data. Blew thru my 200meg Free T-mobile trying to finish an install. Also, found that NFC is turned off. Might be a driver issue.
Battery life is OK. Sound is bad on my device. Playing some youtube videos, and the sound goes from very loud, to I can barely hear it, plus the only speaker working, is the top, the bottom one cuts in and out. (at least in youtube)
not a bug report, or any disrespect to the dev. but, its just what I've had happen while using this rom.

3 Tap continuous till you got message you are now developer.
4 Tape on Back button
5 You will be seeing Developer options now
6 scroll down till you see mobile data always on toggle it off
Bluetooth issue was found for me when connected to my head unit in my truck. It connects, blurps sound out for half a second and then nothing the songs/videos(videos also go down to like 2 fps while paired) are still playing during but no audio. It's late I just got home will try to capture a log tomorrow. Other than that this rom is butter smooth, thanks for your hard work keeping our old whale swimming. Plz remove if it needs to be I won't be butthurt about it.

[ROM][UNOFFICIAL] [SM-T290] LineageOS 18.0 [BETA][21.02.2022]

Build in the works. Going to release the BETA as soon as I can do testing on my own device before release.
IMO this is a necessity as there are literally no good roms for this right now. I tried the port of the Nexus stock CR rom and it was not great. Playstore was unusable due to an issue were the app thinks the system is out of storage space, even though it is almost empty. Chrome crashes instantly, the search on the page home screen flickers up/down without control.
I am a far bigger fan of LineageOS thus why I am working on this build.
More to come.

As a follow up to my original post I wanted to mention that for anyone who wants a new ROM on their SM-T290 until this is finished development, use the Nexus Rom by Magendanz. I was able to do a fresh stock firmware install and retry the rom and my opinion has changed. I have noticed that these Tab A 8.0 tablets have been used a lot for like Uber/Door Dash and other POS terminals. I am pretty sure a lot of them have modified or customized firmware for these reasons and when I mine second hand it was from a pizza store. I think that messed up the upgrade.
Overall Magendanz did a great job, when you install it properly. I have zero issues with functionality now, TWRP recovery set up, as well as Magisk installed and everything is running extremely well.
As far as instruction on how to install. Take a look at some of the comments further down on the Nexus thread. That is what I did this time around and it worked perfectly. Last thing I did was copy Magisk.Apk to my SD, change extension from .APK to .ZIP, then boot into TWRP and install that ZIP.
Going to update progression on a monthly basis as far as the LineageOS 18.0 build

Do you have a github with your source code and manifest? I just got this tablet (used) yesterday and I would like to see if I can help. I have built LineageOS roms for a number of older Samsung Tab A devices, but will have to do some research on the "new to me" T290. Thanks.
Just got this tablet, how's the beta coming along? And what can I do to help?
Thank you my guy I had lost all hope for custom roms on this tablet. It's quite relieving to know that I'm not alone.
Also, has anyone experienced severe lag on one ui 3 while doing basic tasks? The thing literally gets 5 fps while watching youtube and surfing the web but it plays 3d games at 20 fps on low settings. wtf

Hey Guys,
I didnt end up building a custom rom, because I was able to get the GSI version of Lineage 19 working fairly easily. Just use the correct image and flash the same as the Nexus post. Android 12 with Lineage 19 so i felt it wasnt worth it as everything works. I had trouble at first with a boot loop but that was because I had installed Magisk BEFORE the GSI rom and not AFTER. So dont make my mistake.
As per the Nexus Post;
Unlock Bootloader
flash TWRP
Wipe data
Install Andy Yan's Lineage OS 19 GSI
Andy Yan's personal builds // GSI - Browse /lineage-19.x at SourceForge.net
sourceforge.net
Install Magisk
Reboot
Cheers!

This is what you need to flash (.img)

Sorry
Use this one
lineage-19.0-20220211-UNOFFICIAL-treble_arm64_bgS.img.xz
It has Gapps built in as well as super user through SSH, dont install Magisk as it will error that there is already SU tool installed.
@SniperFox22 , did you make a github for the code or didn't even start since you are happy with GSI?

My OS didn't have an option to unzip it at first glance. I haven't been able to install gapps so I'm gonna try that gsi. Also, am I supposed to wipe internal storage before flashing or not?
I got it working but games just crash which is worse than before
Came across this while trying to root my sm-t290. Just want to add that Andy Yan has upgraded to a 19.1 version that appears to work just fine. Flashed to system partition using twrp after I had flashed the Nexus rom. Wifi works, sound works, sd card, bluetooth keyboard works just fine.

Link to it???
I like the link above because it has all the versions but lineage-19.1-20220320-UNOFFICIAL-arm64_bgS.img.xz is the one that I used. The page has the naming convention. Ill mention that even though it says that it's supposed to be rooted, I couldn't get it to work right. The nexus rom had an option in the 'phh treble' menu to activate root and this lineage image should also but the option wasn't there. It kept saying the supersu binary was busy but that was after I flashed a supersu.zip(it may have worked before then i don't know). I played with it a little bit but ended up just flashing back to the Nexus rom.
Hey guys!
Installed "lineage-19.1-20220320-UNOFFICIAL-arm64_bgS.img"
Everything starts up, but something is weird with my installation and my storage, it freezes when i go into storage and i cant download anything without apps start to crash.
Im not sure if i flashed it correctly, i did a wipe in TWRP before installation.
Really hope i can get this to work since it waaaaay faster then the bloat samsung ships
Edit:
Tried flashing another rom (nexus) and had the same issue!
trying to reflash and wipe everything except internal storage.
Where should i flash image? i get: "select partition to flash image", never seen that before (might be because you flash img and not zip)

Hey Guys,
I didnt end up building a custom rom, because I was able to get the GSI version of Lineage 19 working fairly easily. Just use the correct image and flash the same as the Nexus post. Android 12 with Lineage 19 so i felt it wasnt worth it as everything works. I had trouble at first with a boot loop but that was because I had installed Magisk BEFORE the GSI rom and not AFTER. So dont make my mistake.
As per the Nexus Post;
Unlock Bootloader
flash TWRP
Wipe data
Install Andy Yan's Lineage OS 19 GSI
Andy Yan's personal builds // GSI - Browse /lineage-19.x at SourceForge.net
sourceforge.net
Install Magisk
Reboot
Cheers!
