Gapps - if you get "Unfortunaly, Setup Wizard has stopped" on first cm load. This is common problem.
Try find older version: 22 March or early (my link). Or you can delete Start Setup app: go back to twrp - Mount -> system, then Advanced -> File Manager -> system\priv-app\SetupWizard - select current folder and delete. Then reboot in system.

Camera issues when using the default camera app, or is it a hardware issue? I use the camera fairly often.

@Valera1978 Awesome work my friend! Congrats for one more wonderful work! You rock!

Thanks, I'm gonna try it.

That's fantastic news @Valera1978 ! Was thinking of trading this machine in because lack of development. But in the same time I love it. It's a brilliant device and it's a pity so few people has found that out. So THANKS A MILLION Valera!

Are you going to work more on it? Because you have it for limited time, will be there someone else to continue?

The p900 will be available till end of the weekend, may be the next week also.
My plan simple - push another developers to continue work with cm13. In this limited time I want:
- make stable cm13 - building right now, hope today evening will be the first results
- clean-up my device/kernel/vendor (almost done)
- try fix camera - look like this is big issue for all exynos cm13 devices, but need at least try fix
And then I really hope thompatry will continue work with cm13.
And hope my sources will help make cm for related note pro 12.1 p901 and tab pro t900/t520. At least t900/t520 use the same kernel and very similar hardware.

Buggy Setup Wizard
How can I skip the buggy Wizard? It keeps popping up error messages.

My tablet was always diferent. I wasnt able to update to official lollipop (stuck on boot animation or every proces crashed) Cm12 is laging. And now, the android 6.0.1 is stack at boot screan animation. I also bricked it with official lollipop (from cm11 to official lollipop) and unbricked it with official kitkat. I really dont understand it. I need to do more with my little android development skills (i have successfully ported cm11 to friends phone, but only thanks it have little difrences from the official cm11 for the supported device) i dont know if u understand it but it doesnt matter

No way!! I wasn't expecting this.
I don't like posting this kind of useless message but I had to write a big THANK YOU. The thank you button doesn't cover how grateful I am for bringing a 6.0 ROM to our big guy.
Does the s-pen work? I can't flash it right now.

I had the same problem. Couldn't get past it. So I did a new clean install and this time without Gapps. The rom runs fantastic. Went to apk mirror and downloaded the latest GMS and installed it. Then I went to settings to add my G account. And couldn't go thru with it cause GMS keeps crashing. Don't know why. Gonna uninstall it now and install an older GMS

Edit: Tried an older variant of GMS and no success. Well just have to wait. Meantime its awesome running MM on what I thought was a dead device.

Thank you for this Valeria. Really appreciate you doing this. I've encountered most of the problems previously mentioned. Installed with Gapps. No joy. Did another install without. Running OK. One thing nobody else has mentioned is I can't see my external sdcard. Tried 3 different ones. 32, 15 and 4 GB. No luck with any. As for ROM. Nice. Fast. Smooth. Cheers

Cm 13.0 build is ready. Please see first post how to solve gapps problem. Tomorrow I'll check what is wrong with gapps. And then I'll start fix small problems. Still a lot of work, but now with working cm.

Wanted to first say I'm extremely grateful for your work; I've been keeping an eye on the CM threads here for weeks because this upgrade could make the P900 work like a new tablet.
I rely on it daily for college, so I'm kind of hesitant to flash just yet. But for those of you who try this ROM, I'd be very interested to know:
1) S-Pen -- For a separate S-Pen (the one with a separate eraser in addition side button), do the extra buttons work natively in LectureNotes or similar apps or does something else (e..g, "CM S Pen Add-on") need to be installed?
2) Encryption -- Does encryption/decryption work with TWRP 3.0.0.0 (or an earlier version)? Haven't had much luck getting TWRP to decrypt 5.0.2 stock, but as long as the OS can decrypt -- and I've been able to make backups -- I haven't worried about it.
3) Multi-Window -- In CM13, how adjustable are the windows? Can you achieve a setup where 2/3 of the screen is for one app while another app gets 1/3?
4) Camera -- Is it just the stock camera app that's having trouble? Would another app (e.g., Open Camera) work?
5) Microphone -- Is the mic working okay (e.g., for an app like LectureRecordings)?
6) Screenshots -- Is there a good solution for editing screenshots? Something that supports S-Pen? Being able to quickly crop and import things into LectureNotes is very useful. Noticed a new app called "Screen'it" in the store that might eventually be a good stock replacement, but I'd like to know if anybody's got a better solution.

Thanks so much for this! Just installed CM 13.0 build. Tried stock gapps 6.0 it failed. BUT....
Here is one *provisional* solution (you'll do better I'm sure) for the gapps setup wizard problem.
*Install the March 22 pico version.*
Of course, factory wipe.
Then follow the old school method and do both of these in ONE twrp session:
Flash CM 13.0 Marshmallow
Flash gapps 3/22 Pico
Wipe dalvik
Reboot
And you should be good to go!
This came up with another (older) tablet of mine, the Asus TF700t, which also returned the error when I first loaded a custom MM 6.01 version. That developer (Timduru) suggested using the March 22 Pico version of the gapps and it worked there.... and as I speak is now working on my Samsung Note Pro 12.2. I've not done anythng much with it yet, but will get back to you with anything I find.
Hope this is useful.
Blessings.
Okay... No Bluetooth. [Oops, correcton, Blue tooth *does* work.] No external sdcard. But very fast. Thanks and looking forward to usable version.

Thank you.
Yes, you are right, something wrong with the latest gapps. On p905 with latest gapps we are geting the same start wizard problem.
I finished the firmware late at night and had no time to check the different gapps.
Today will be full test and cleanup.

Remove sertupwizard from /system/priv-app to skip wizard. You can do it with twrp file manager

There is rallye no bit different betwene android 5.1.1 (cm12.1) and android 6.0.1 (cm13). The only one i really like is multi window. But still awesome work Valera.

You're absolutely right. Installed open Gapps 0322 Pico and no problems with GMS. Restoring all my apps now. Tried with Pico Gapps 0330 first but no luck. Thanks for your tip ?

Thanks for this awesome ROM. Just wanted to be the first to tell you
---------- Post added at 12:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:05 PM ----------
I was able to successfully dual boot stock ROM and LOS. There is an app on github named DualBootPatcher which is compatible with our device and if anyone wants to use it just pm me. I won't discuss this here as we want to keep this thread clean.

ANT Service will not work as this is a stock TouchWiz Feature. HR sensor will also not work ever.

Why did you make a new thread? Is it because this will become the thread for official lineage? And if so where will the other ROMs be posted? On the nexus7420 site? Sorry for the questions but hopefully the answers clear everything up.

For being official, we need a "clear" thread. That means that we need to have a thread only for LOS and separate ones for other ROMs.

Congrats on going official team :good:
Wouldn't it have been best to wait till you're given the greenlight or does a topic need to be made first (then turned official)?

Reboot
Hello,
I have this rom on my phone, galaxy s6 flat.
At the beginning, the rom was functionnal, but now, when I connect my phone to the wifi or the 4G, my phone reboot.
Please somebody can help me ?
Thank you.

There is a very clear section in the OP on how to report bugs. Follow it if you wish to be addressed

Hi,
To be honest I don't get the situation with official /unofficial yet. Didn't you post yesterday, that you pushed/moved your sources to the lineageos github project itself? So then why is there a build server and your own github link here? Shouldn't that lead to official builds on the lineageos page?
My second question is: you ask for donations especially for a build server for you own nexusrom which seems to be a fork of lineageos. I'd really like to donate there to support your further work, but you don't describe how that works.
Finally : I'm currently on your april/23 build and with the audio patch you provided that is working great. The only problem open is, that VoLTE is not working for me. Do you have any plans for this? If you need someone to debug there let me know, though currently I'm not able to even activate it.
Finally : thank you very very much for your great work.

It clearly states in the title that these are UNOFFICIAL builds.
No word of donations is mentioned on the thread.
VoLTE will not work as this is not implemented by LineageOS.

Thank you guys for all your hard work. Im going to try this out on g925t with duelboot. Hope calling works now?

Setup wizard force closes on rr and lineage on mu g926t. I flashed them with duelboot and it happened so i tried a clean install and it still happened.

Please read again the title: only for G920F and G925F. No G926T...
Edit: Did you mean dualboot? If yes then you need to know that it may create instability in the multibooted ROMs. For me everything works

I got it working with duelboot. I just flashed the ROM without gapps, booted it and then went back and flashed gapps. Thanx again developers!

Great rom, i love it, except for the obvious bugs. Anyway, i can't turn on my bluetooth speaker remotely anymore. The manufacturer website says you need BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) for that, does anyone know if that's a LOS bug?

Calling still likely won't work. There's binary blobs missing and we need a different kernel.

By flashing this you take responsibility of anything that happens.
Process at your own risk!
This firmware was developed for the p905. It doesn't apply to the p905v at this time because it's bootloader locked and a custom recovery isn't possible.
If you want to check firmware - please make backup. Better to store all partitions, at least efs and may be modem.
I'm using nano gapps.
Instructions
1. Install custom recovery
2. Download the zip(s) - firmware and Google Apps additional package (optional)

Thanks to LineageOS team
Thanks to davidmueller13 for help with the config and initial run.

@Valera1978: That sounds very interesting. Thank you for your work.

Installed as a test, which went fine. Unfortunate is does not recognize my sim card
I do get the message insert sim card. Removed and reinserted, but still does not see it.
Further testing g to be done.

@Valera1978
Hey my friend, really awesome to see you back with such outstanding rom!
Thank you very much for such amazing work!

I have tested this ROM for a few days.
When starting the device it gives a message system process stopped.
Next error I get insert sim, does not look to be recognized yet.
Further I did not get issues, with the basic programs.
Looks promising
Thank you for all the work on this!

@Valera1978
Thanks for the releasing Oreo for the P905. It is sad that there is still no new 12" Note tablet on the market that take it's place. Especially because of that we all appreciate your work so we are not forced to abandon the device.
However I sincerly hope that you continue to release 14.1 versions until this rom is out of alpha. I and presumably others use that version as a daily driver. You skipped september security updates, I presume you couldn't find the time, so I hope for an october release. It is sad that android now needs monthly security updates but it seems it's the way things flow these days.
Kind regards,

I'm sorry, all september worked with a oreo. I do not forget the lineage 14, I did several test builds, and fixed the pressing of the left button with the s-pen (tasks switching). There is yesterday's build - publish it or wait a couple of days and post a september security update?
In any case, I will continue to work with lineage 14, I really do not like consumption in standbye mode, I want to try another kernel. Also, there is still a problem with adjusting the volume during calls.

@Valera1978,
thanks for clarifying that. I think everybody who uses your rom understands that this is a one man show and your time is limited. Regarding publishing, of cause I can't speak for anybody than myself I presume that people would agree to skip the september updates. The october updates are already available and regarding security I think digital, either everything known is patched and you are secure as far as it possible or your are not. I don't think it makes much of a difference if you have more or less vulnerabilites.
One thing that might interest other people in regards of security update is blueborne. I'm curently not sure on which level this must be patched. If it's the driver level than things might get difficult for devices that went out of support. Your last rom 0823 shows vulnerability regarding that bug collection.
Thanks for your continued work on that rom.
Kind regards,
mnemonic-de

Dont know if this is a known bug but after installing this version i have problems playing videos. Both in the facebook app and on websites with integrated video

@Valera1978 are you using the same Lineage 14.1 kernel? The work needs improvements (in the part of the calls mainly) but for an alpha version is very good. Thank you!

Just curious
Is this rom being developed actively or was it more "Proof of concept" right now.
Asking because i have some issues that i could live with for a while, while it is being developed, but as i see no updates i am thinking of going back to 14.1

I don't use sim card therefore wi-fi only. From the remarks it looks like this alpha is working well except for the mobile functionality. I think I will give it a go if the basics of Google calendar and email are working via Wi-Fi.

Early experience :
Issues
- being used wi-fi only
- does not play videos at all. Some apps think they can play videos but don't initiate and stand still at time=0. Others seem to be smarter and give message video can't be played. I tried YouTube, Chrome, VLC, and Plex
- developers rights enabled but missing nifty reboot menu to boot into other options such as recovery. BTW this does work my Los 15 mido phone
- camera not working with any camera app I tried.
The good :
- seems to be faster.
- battery life also seems to be better, although not hugely so
- S-pen is working. Experience in Squid is good which is this tablet's main use
- Oreo's feature set is very nice once you get used to it. Interactive notifications are hard to miss.
- magisk works perfectly.

Could this possibly work for the T900? Being y'all say Wi-Fi works.

For p900 please

Any development for P900

The P900 has a different SoC iirc so you are most likely going to find a version for that in a different thread.

The p900 is officially supported by lineage so you could probably get it directly from the source! Nevermind not released just yet, probably soon though!

I tried the first version, released in September but it was not good because video playback (Facebook, youtube, dailymotion, etc.) was not working.
Has anyone tried the latest version and if you, can you confirm if the video playback works.

I have used this a couple of days now. For the purposes I do use it , all works fine.
Earlier question on video playback, I use vlc and this works.

Which ROM ?

Coming from stock 7.0 and November 2017 security patch what ROM would you recommend that in the words of Apple fans 'just works' ?
Is lineage 15.1 still the best option .. .. Am I right in thinking it no longer gets updated ? Is that because all the bugs have been ironed out or because developers have moved onto Pie ?
Are there any negatives I should be aware of. ?
I've used Lineage before, it has given my old Samsung tablet a new lease of life.
Search didn't bring up any results newer than august 2018.
Thanks

You should read the threads and what people think about the ROMs. There are some really good devs out there doing great jobs, but to give you a wrap up would be to much here. I run on Resurrection Remix and am pretty happy, everything works as I need it.

I think best rom is ResurrectionRemix and bootleggers. Those are perfect rom. I use rr but i want to flash bootleggers. But if we can give pie lineageos it will be perfect.

Im cr droid user best rom ever:good:

And LineageOS if you want a basic ROM with quite good battery. I get three days out of mine - not stock levels but close enough for Oreo

A quick read of the RR thread and the last post says development has ended and I quote "Even though I wasn't able to fix many issues I've learnt quite a lot of things."
Well,that puts me off straight away.......many issues ?

I wasnt see problem. His probably write the wrong discussion.

Every os has its ups and downs. Try evrythng and see what works best for u. U might be a battery person or a guy who like customisation or outright performance. Or u just want something stable and light. I would suggest try lineage 16, aosp 6, rr 7 and Crdroid 5.2. One of these should satisfy you.

Given this is my 1 and only phone and I also run a business off it I'm not looking to experiment with different roms.
I just want one that will work as well as stock.....including battery life.......but hopefully have more recent security patches.
I've heard android 9 sucks the life out of batteries so that would mean lineage 16 would not be suitable I guess.

Who told u that
Coz, AFA many users of P2 are concerned, including me, having the best battery out here. If you want to experience try Crdroid, its having so far pretty good SOT and with less or almost no bugs,which can prevent it from becoming a daily driver. :fingers-crossed:

My suggestion would be to go through phases of upgrading;
Install a treble enabled TWRP that should be available in LOS 15 page.
Install LOS 15 for updating treble A only partition (check the whole process for that in LOS 15 page)
Then, install RR 7 of 3rd April for updating vendor partition to latest security patch (later versions have bugs)
Now, you are in a position to have a ROM of your choice, if you want a up-to-date ROM without many issues and minimal customization then opt for LOS 16 or Mokee Pie. If you want plenty of customization with stability then go for CrDroid Pie. If you want a ROM which is up-to-date and have plenty of customization then look for AEX Pie or Havoc 2.4 (13th April version as later versions of Havoc 2.4 are buggy). For rooting, you can use Magisk 19.0 without issues whereas, nano gApps work fine.
You will have to go through all this cycle before resorting to a ROM of your choice. However, when securing lock screen with fingerprint; don't opt for encrypting phone at start. Just select "NO" when asked otherwise phone camera and torch won't work.

Recommended ROM to speed up my N7

I've loved my N7 2013 since I got it when it came out. It used to be unbelievably snappy, but at some point an OTA made it slow, then the next one even slower. I realised that the Facebook app kills the device so I took that off. Then I rooted the device and did a factory reset. It is less sluggish, but still a bit too slow for me.
If 6.0.1 stock, which I am running right now, is the culprit, which older stock should I go back to? I'd like to strike a balance between speed and going so far back in versions that the security risks and other trade-offs are too great.
I am prepared to also try a custom ROM but I would prefer using my tablet over fiddling with it so I'd like some advice as to which ROM (stock or otherwise) is most likely to speed up my beloved N7.

I highly recommend LineageOS 14.1. (Nougat) It was the last official version for N7 by LineageOS. Everything works on 14.1.... and it is super stable.
wileyc has an unofficial version of it. He is leaving the original build unchanged but is creating security updates almost weekly. Here is the link to his posting:

or you can go right to his builds:

Thanks Tam, looks like a good contender. If one wants to regularly flash these updates for security, am I right in saying that each time the device is wiped, or can you avoid losing your configuration and apps? Is there a clever way to avoid a lot of hassle with backup/restore and reconfiguring your device each time?

Edit. Hi Lief, I mis-advised (hazzards of being a noob giving advice). You will actually have to do a clean install of lineage 14.1. Meaning that you will have to reinstall all of your apps and settings.... On a plus side there is virtually no bloat in Lineage 14.1, and there is something to be said for how well your N7 will run with a fresh install.
Sorry for the misinformation
Leif, You are correct. Nothing changes with your apps or configuration.
Just download the update/latest build to your device and install with TWRP. VOILA! Done. Pretty hassle free.

Does anyone know if the 14.1 build supports HDMI via Slimport like stock does?

I can confirm that the answer is yes - LineageOS 14.1 on deb (LTE) does support video out via the USB port and a Slimport adapter.

Is there a similarly updated build for the LTE version?
Edit: NM, found the deb builds by replacing "flo" with "deb"!

Hi guys,
