LineageOS 14.1 for Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 WiFi Android 7.1 ROM

[Linux User]

So it seems this 14.1 rom has been downloaded 1200 times. Anyone care to give feedback? Is it usable? Any newer signs of an official rom on the horizon?

My set-up is still back at android 4.4.2 (have worked on getting tarp onto it, and getting it rooted, but that not quite there, and newly available Ota updates being refused due to this) so I’m keen to get the whole los thing sorted.

Also not sure if there is a more specific Los site to look into this. Google group seems to send me back to this cm site with the text all targeting Los, but it’s looking slightly stale.

Stu.

Mod please remove previous post (and this new one), since I can’t edit it. (Since the stars have now aligned, and I’ve found all the useful threads over @ xda-developers.com)

I’ve tried this update a few times, but keep getting the dreaded “KERNEL IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING” after installing Lineage OS (lineage-14.1-20170319-UNOFFICIAL-matissewifi.zip from here) and GApps (open_gapps-arm-7.1-nano-20170807.zip). I only have Linux or OS X, so Odin (https://cyanogenmods.org/forums/topic/install-twrp-recovery-samsung-android-using-odin/) doesn’t work (and JOdin3 does nothing when it says “running”) and I’ve been using Heimdall per the instructions (fastboot https://cyanogenmods.org/forums/topic/install-twrp-recovery-android-using-fastboot/).

I’ve tried both the instructions here and https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/n1awifi/install (where I started, then found this thread after the Heimdall said the n1awifi does not support my hardware: Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 SM-T530NU).

I tried both the twrp-3.0.3-0_matisse_20170122-0641.img linked here and the latest twrp-3.1.0-0-matisse.img from the TWRP website (https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxytab4101.html), with the same effect. Luckily I took a full backup and restoring the prior OS (Android 5.0.2) via TWRP recovery works. I was unable to find an “OEM Unlock” option in the Developer settings of the OEM provided Android OS and “fastboot oem unlock” just says “waiting for device” and “fastboot devices) says no devices when in OEM OS, Download mode, or Recovery mode.

EDIT1: I should note that the “KERNEL IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING” should not be an issue (per https://www.reddit.com/r/LineageOS/comments/6n7lpa/flashed_the_latest_los_and_now_my_phone_says/), but this is where my device is stuck after flashing this Lineage OS 14.1 image.

As a follow-up, using the Resurrection Remix image from https://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-4/development/rom-resurrection-remix-5-8-0-t3544283 (@thisisapoorusernamechoice’s RR-N-v5.8.2-20170311-matissewifi-Unofficial posted at https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71398881&postcount=45 ) and the same steps/instructions I was able to get that image to load and boot, still shows the “KERNEL IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING” error at boot, but then loads the boot image with animated “Get Resurrection” animated logo.

Hi,

i had the same problem like Eric with the release 20170319. It ends into a bootloop.

I took the older release 20170122 and it works fine. I get the message “KERNEL IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING” too by starting the device but the system works fine.

Note: Made it with Odin under Windows 10.

I also have same problems. Here is the list of issues

1) Camera not working.

2) Sound option in settings crashing

3) Could not charge the device while it is powered off (Or if it is charging then there is no display of battery status when powered off)

4) Bluetooth is not 100% accurate

5) GPS is not 100% accurate

<h3>lineage-14.1-20170319-UNOFFICIAL-matissewifi.zip</h3>
This lineage doesn’t work, you’ll get an error message when starting and will be stuck in boot with KERNEL IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING

If you flash the :
<h3>lineage-14.1-20180530-UNOFFICIAL-matissewifi.zip</h3>
I found it at https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=674106145207490429

This will still give you the same error kernel message but will continue and boot into Lineage, and it works pretty good as well

Now just to find out how to get rid of the annoying kernel message when you boot the tablet

I have similar problem as ahmedrafiq. Camera and sound recording doesn’t work. When powered off and charging, I get the charge icon, but I think it gets hung. I then have to hard reboot to use again. Didn’t test Bluetooth and GPS. I am using 2018 v. But….I am not much bothered about the bugs, not using those features anyway. I am happy that the tab got upgraded (Samsung told they are no more issuing any more updates) from Android 5.1 (almost unusable state…System UI error and other issues) to 7.1. Maybe I can use it a couple more years.

@minty95 Thank you for the link. I have updated that on the main downloads section.
The new build came on 29th August 2018.

@mathew_joy
I have added a new build file of Lineage OS 14.1 for the tab built by gpancot.
As reported by @minty95 this is more stable than the other.
You can try this one and let us know how this goes on your device !

Thank you @siba for the quick reply. So I downloaded the 2018-08-12 version at

https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1322778262903992685

The good news is voice recording is now working. Camera and the charging is still broke. For Camera I now get the error “Media server died”.
