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

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.

ROMs + Recovery + Root

Is the A3, A5, A7 series bad for dev of ROMs and new mods on sites like this? I saw someone that wrote something about that. They mentioned it was due to the Exynos chipsets. Could have been the 2015 or 2016-series also.
No, it is misunderstanding in the early days it was like that but times changes.
Look at the s7 exynos full of dev support.
It is a new phone, give it time.
It is always like that.
Samsung release even the open source files maby it is not complete but u could port cm 13 or lineage os by yourself to the device and get things working.
Or build a kernel etc.
Twrp same it can get official but we get someone who is mainly focus on dev twrp for our devices.
I dont have much time and i will focus mainly on the stock os.

How to update from inofficial to officiel ROM?

Hi,
I flashed version 14.1-2017016-UNOFFICIAL-n8013 to my Samsung galaxy note 10.1 wifi edition.
I would like to flash an official ROM on it in order to benefit from upgrades.
Looking at the lineageOS download section it seems that there is no N8013 version anymore. Should I take the one called n1awifi ? This is not clear for me.
If so, can I just flash it with twrp and keep all my settings and programs ? Or should I start right from the beginning?
Thank you!
Nobody for this one?
Thanks

Please be sure (check again, then again) which model you have... and let us know
If it is the Galaxy Note 10.1 (WIFI) n8013 you can download the stock firmware and flash it with ODIN.
NOTE: Pretty old software and no updates lately, in fact it still keeps the 4.1.2 Android Version as official.
But, this forum is for Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) [SM-P600 variants], if you have this model, please check EXACTLY wich model it is... so we can give you a link to downlad the stock firmware or the right custom (lineageOS) ROM for device.
Otherwise we could be giving you wrong advice and you'll end up bricking your device.

Hi,
Thank you for answering me, I was feeling a bit alone
On the back of the device I can read Model GT-N8010 wifi 16Gb.
I just ran an Antutu benchmark and the results are:
GT-N8013
Android 7.1.1 (32-bit)
Architecture: ARM Cortex-A9
CPU: Exynos 4412 1433 MHz
Resolution: 1280x800
size: 10.1 pouces
Renderer: Mali-400MP
Material: TFT
Density: 160 dpi
Back Camera: 4.9 mega pixel 2560x1920
Front Camera: 1.9 mega pixel 1392x1392
I hope this info is enough.
I'm currently running LineageOS 14.1.
My initial post has been moved to this forum, so I'm not sure if it's the right one.
I have TWRP as a recovery so I can easily flash a ROM, but which one? I'd be really happy if you could point me to the right one.
Thank you!

Well... between GT-N8013 and GT-N8010 only difference is software... so you can install any. Use lastest ODIN as main way to flash.
Official Firmware:
GT-N8010: http:// rapidgator.net /file/9080b81b75100c8f164859ea386ef5c1 > Android 4.4.2 (KitKat) - Recommended
GT-N8013: http:// rapidgator.net /file/96d70a410efbabe165c620587b8cd5ac > Android 4.1.2 (JellyBean)
Notes:
1. Just erase the blank spaces to get links
2. I recommend GT-N8010 since is a newer Android (KitKat)
After download, flash it with latest ODIN (3.12.3) as known. Try to do a clean install, so the bootloader will update correctly.

If you want/like newer Android versions and custom ROM, lineageOS is the best/most secure option still developing for this model... however, there are some issues since it is in Alpha Status.
https:// forum.xda-developers. com/ galaxy-note-10-1/development/rom-nougat-t3505239
There are other ROM projects too... but most seems abandoned, old dated. You can check for example the Gnabo version for GT-n108x.

After flash stock firmware with ODIN, you will lose TWRP, however... you can get it official from here:
https:// dl.twrp.me /p4noterf/twrp-2.8.7.0-gt-n8013.img.html > GT-N8013
https:// dl.twrp.me /p4noterf/twrp-2.8.7.0-gt-n8010.img.html > GT-N8010
After download, flash it with ODIN, but unclick Auto Reboot in options to flash it, then get in recovery mode before to reboot, it will ask you to swap to allow modifications, so you do. Otherwise it will be override with stock recovery and you must repeat process again.
To get root, simply copy latest SU.zip file to the sdcard and flash it with TWRP.
Once you are root, you can even try to upgrade to TWRP 3.xxx with the TWRP APK from Google Play if you like.
Final Notes:
Don't forget to use ODIN you must have the drivers for your samsung device correctly installed in your PC.

Memory needed for lineage?

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.

Hi! i'm new at the Samsung world, i've always used Nexus phones, that you can install any rom over anything and it will boot, and i really want to install an Android 9 ROM.

Your device is a snapdragon model and the G960F is an exynos model
I said 960f just as example, but there's is any variant I can use?

Custom ROMs?

Just wondering if anybody can help. Ive just bought an s20 plus, 2nd hand of course, & am considering putting TWRP or another recovery on. But, what Im asking is are there any custom roms, bearing in mind I have installed the latest fw android 13? I see BeyondRom, which I have tried before on s10 (& is very good btw) & Lineage 19.1, which I doubt would work on newer fw. Is there anything else out there, LOS based or AOSP?
Thanks for any response

Hi, you can also try Pixel Experience.
Thanks for this. So the only alternative to stock is a gsi ROM? Never seen this before, but I can understand if maybe its not a popular device
