Dedicated to breathing life into the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 (SM-T510) through custom ROM development. Inspired by the great work of @Magendanz on the initial LineageOS 18.1 TWRP builds, lets pusg the boundaries of what's possible on this device.

While projects like PHH and AndyYan GSIs revitalize older devices, they face challenges. Google's discontinued security support makes backporting patches difficult, and our device's aging Exynos ARM architecture adds another layer of complexity.

RAM Restrictions: Modern Android versions ideally want 3GB+ of RAM, we are working with less than that.

Outdated Kernel: We're stuck with a legacy kernel (v4.4.xx), while newer Android requires features like eBPF which we have a semi-working implementation of

I love a good challenge! While a perfectly stable Android 12+ build might be out of reach, I'm committed to creating the best possible LineageOS experience for our SM-T510 within its limitations

Testing: Download our experimental builds, provide feedback, and help us squash bugs 🐛!

Development: If you've got coding chops, dive into the codebase, suggest features, and work on optimizations.

Documentation: Help us create clear guides and tutorials to make the ROM accessible to everyone.

Spread the Word: Share our project with other Galaxy Tab A users and/or Developers.

Prerequisites:

• Odin v3.13.1
  • Be weary, plenty of ¨official¨ Odin links. Odin is Samsung´s proprietary software which has never been officially released by them
  • XDA threads or Nethunter repository, the most reputable sources for finding it. I choose the latter
• Fresh install or flash of the latest available firmware
  • for us, this would be the T510XXU5CWA1 build.

ROM Downloads:

• Lineage-20

  • XDA thread

• Lineage-19.1

  • XDA Thread

Installation Instructions: XDA Thread

• I would refer to Magendanz official and initial post. The instructions are available above. For sake of availability, I will provide them down below.

• Unlock bootloader

• Power the device off

• Hold Vol Up & Vol Down buttons while plugging the USB-C from PC to tablet to enter Download mode

• Install custom ROM tarball (.tar.md5 file) to AP with Odin

• If TWRP launches, factory reset with Wipe->Format Data and reboot to system. (Not necessary for incremental upgrades.)

• Hold Power & Vol Up during restart to enter TWRP recovery
• Tap Install, Install Image, select your update (.img file), OR Install via ZIP archive.
• Factory reset with Wipe->Format Data. (Not necessary for incremental upgrades.)
• Reboot to system

Reporting Issues:

• Ideally, right here.

These ROMs are under active development. Expect surprises (both good and bad!). Please back up your data before flashing and always read instructions carefully.

Fun Fact: Did you know the Galaxy Tab A 10.1 was one of the first budget tablets with a full HD display?
