I first found your thread on XDA here.
I could not get any version working except - e-0.23-p-20240113-UNOFFICIAL-klimtwifi.zip from XDA. I have tried e-1.20-r-20240223-UNOFFICIAL-klimtwifi.zip and it does not get past the boot animation even after doing the following
Please note feedback to get it work:
after first boot let it boot for a minute then vol down power hard turn off and let it restart then it will boot to setup !
I am willing to help you with development so that we all can get a working device that works smoothly with Microphone and Camera support. Please let me know how.
Hello! SM-T700 klimtwifi booted successfully with e-1.17.1-q-20240307-UNOFFICIAL-klimtwifi.zip. I am testing it thoroughly. I will update you for the same.
Great news! Nearly gave up for this device…
Please provide feedback also for the yet untested version so I can flag which version is working and potentially other exynos 5420 devices might be build…
Here are some observations from the first time use of e-1.17.1-q-20240307-UNOFFICIAL-klimtwifi.zip.
Feels good to use. DeathlyAuditor + Deathly Kernel helps the device a lot.
Camera can shoot pictures but cannot shoot video. (Same LineageOS problem as other roms)
Audio Recorder can record audio successfully. (Recorded Volume is a bit less)
Speakers play volume is a bit less. Please increase it if possible. (There was an xml you could edit to do this I think. Not sure)
All H/W buttons work fine.
GPS works fine
WiFi works fine. Both 2.4Ghz and 5GHz networks.
Torch, AutoRotate, Streaming via Inbuilt-Browser works fine.
Streaming app service works fine. (I used Stremio app for this)
MicroSD and USB OTG works fine. Local video and music playback works fine
If the camera video recording issue can be fixed then I would be using this as my daily driver ROM. I watch a lot of streams on Discord so I need the camera, mic and video playback working at its best. Then I would think about tuning the kernel and making it work smoother and more efficient.
Thanks a lot for the great review. Since I’m not a developer I would need help to fix camera etc.
One possible solution would be to try another app for foto/video? I know puck tried this in one of his videos for one of my custom builds and it works…
I know that the inbuilt camera is based on Open Camera. I also tried downloading the latest Open Camera and it has the same problem of recording but not saving. (App freezes and drains battery until I force close it)
I’ve tried Libre Camera from fDroid but it also freezes when recording.
Basically none of the video calling apps would work
I found Secure Camera from GrapheneOS worthy of testing on an older Samsung. (The device probably has Proprietary parts not accessible to Open / Libre cameras.)
Up to now I did not made own apps packages. Would mean that this would be a custom build instead of a unofficial build. Anyway I do not yet know how to do this
