Sorry, I’m not sure I can provide much guidance here! I did not get a hit on a quick search earlier!
All my hands on experience is on older devices!
Sometimes ROMs are not easily available for devices still “new”. I can only encourage “keep searching”! Perhaps even with Samsung support.
Thanks! I’ll look into it.
I had a look earlier at the others as well but I couldn’t see anything related to this model.
I’ll look again.
If I don’t find any more up-to-date firmware, would it be possible to use the one from Sfirmware which is several months old now in casee I want to revert to stock rom?
And by the way, when I go to download the recovery and /e/OS images I get:
Strange, because I could go to those pages before.
My problebm seems to be that I don’t have access to the images at the moment : (
The bootloader is already unlocked. Tried heimdall print-pit and the device rebooted so I guess heimdall is working fine.
At any rate, I’ll be doing this tomorrow when I am hopefully a bit more alert.
I use /e/ on my Galaxy S8 since several months now and I am very happy with it.
I really would like to have a tablet as well with /e/. At the same time, I see on Lineage side that there are nightly builds for this model. Are they more up-to-date or does /e/ as well follow their nightly releases?
I have successfully installed /e/ on the Tab S6 Lite. It is up an running and most everything is working as far as I have had time to test.
The only thing not working is the sound. It looks like it is not working on this build for this device as mentioned above by @ronnz98.
The build being almost two months old, and if this is a known issue then will it be fixed in the next update?
I have sound neither from the speakers nor from cable connected earphones.
I get sound with Bluetooth-connected earphones but the quality gets quite bad if the media playing app is running in the background or when the screen is off.
Please bear in mind that Android R is Beta for /e/. Perhaps (my own view here) /e/ is waiting for all issue reports to come in on R builds, before polishing the /e/ version updates. As such it is important that “early testers” do actually https://doc.e.foundation/support-topics/report-an-issue so that the devs know!
However taking up @ronnz98’s offer to share his image would answer your question!
With your explanation and the fact that @ronnz98 has succeeded in building a working rom for this device I am now more confident that these smal bugs will be ironed out eventually.
I’ll look into the link you have shared and post a report.
I am not in a hurry to have it all working at once and will gladly test the future builds of /e/ for this tablet.
Perhaps in this way I could contribute, however infinitesimal it may be, to the development of /e/.
For now, I am celebrating that I was able to install the system on this device and most everything is running fine. I was amazed to compare the number of running services at idle on the stock rom with those running on /e/. I understand now what de-googling and debloating the system really means.
And I am very happy about it.
Thank you all for the support and for sharing your knowledge. I really appreciate it.
After some weeks of testing on my Samsung S6 Lite I can share thats its pretty stable.
Sound issues are fixed for e-0.20-r
Some small issue like Voice recognition is showing though dectivated and minor issues with adaptive display
I have also installed latest beta for e on a S5e LTE and its workings also very stable since weeks - the only issue I faced was headphones not working using usb-c
I have now an accound at AndroidFileHost and registered now as developer, however could not upload the e-0.20-r build for S6 lite yet
@ronnz98
Thanks for posting and sharing your work!
I’ll try reading through the links you posted before on building /e/ to see if I eventually can gain some technical capacity to build one myself some day.
