MTP read/write support working on latest Dev Channel Update - Chromebooks

MTP support is now working r/w on latest Chrome OS dev channel update. Good news for anyone with a chromebook who's been trying to read or write files to their Android device. I tested it on my Moto G (XT1031) and can confirm it works. Just make sure to be on latest Dev Channel update and enable the flag: chrome://flags#enable-mtp-write-support

"Experimental MTP write support has just landed in the Files App in the last Dev Channel Update. This means we can start to cut/copy/paste/create folders/files on our phones directly from Chrome OS."

[RECOVERY] [OFFICIAL] TWRP for Shield Tablet

Team Win Recovery Project 3.x, or twrp3 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. Its a fully touch driven user interface no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.
DOWNLOAD:
Most devices can be updated quickly and easily within TWRP if you already have version 2.8.4.0 or higher installed
1) Download the latest version from our website on your device
2) Reboot to TWRP
3) Hit Install and tap the "Images..." button in the lower right
4) Browse to the location of the TWRP image on your device and select it
5) Select recovery from the partition list and swipe to flash
OR:
You can find more information and download links on our website.
Direct device link
BUGS:
If you have found a bug, please consider posting it to our github issues log. It's pretty much impossible for us to keep up with the more than 40 threads that we have for the devices that we "directly" support. If you have a significant problem that cannot be answered in this thread, contact us via our website, or find us in our IRC channel below. If you see someone that's struggling, feel free to point it out to us. We need your help to help us keep track of all of our devices! Thanks!
SUPPORT:
Live support is available via #twrp on Freenode with your IRC client or just click this link.
Releases including and past 3.0.2-2 will work on both the L and M bootloader. The screen update issues plaguing unofficial 3.0.0 do not happen on these newer builds either. The OP is a little different from other TWRP threads because I don't want to keep updating the changelog and version numbers, but those can be found on the twrp homepage linked there. Enjoy.
Don't you love the smell of success in the morning? :laugh:
Finally, official status!
Nice! Nice! Nice!
Time for me to get some more roms out I guess
ro.product.device missing?
Not sure if I'm an isolated case for this, but I couldn't flash anything with this recovery because the updater script in ROMs would fail at ro.product.device, basically instead of shieldtablet being there it was blank. Went back to unofficial TWRP and now no problems.
Can anyone care to confirm if this is an issue with the official recovery image?

Hi Josh,
I'm trying to use the TWRP build on my new replacement device (received it last Monday). All I've done since unboxing is set a PIN and enable encryption. On booting, the /data partition isn't mounted, with the following error:
Code:
E:Unable to mount '/data'
E:Unable to recreate /data/media folder.
Updating partition details...
E:Unable to mount '/data'
...done
E:Unable to mount storage.
E:Unable to mount /data/media during GUI startup.
Full SELinux support is present.
E:Unable to mount /data/media/TWRP/.twrps when trying to read settings file.
E:Unable to mount '/data'
MTP Enabled
I tried using the
Code:
adb shell twrp decrypt <pin>
command to decrypt using adb, but get the following response:
Code:
Attempting to decrypt data partition via command line.
E:No crypto support was compiled into this build.
This is with both the 2.8.7.0 official build, and the 2.8.7.1 build you reference above. Is it possible to get crypto support enabled please?

I'm a bit confused - how does this version relate (or not) to the version released in this previous thread?:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2877117
Is it that this version has official status compared to the other (and is a newer version as well - 2.8.7.2 vs. 2..8.7.1 as of this post)?

Correct. This is officially available on the TWRP website. The unofficial one should be almost exactly the same, but I don't think I've ever seen the device tree it was built from, so I can't say for certain.
@lj50036: I'm probably blind, but I can't find the source you're using for newer builds? Is it in a public repo somewhere? I'll want to pull the decryption support into the multirom twrp builds since I assume it's not enabled there either. Haven't tried, though.

Oh duh. Though I'm not certain why I had to register to even look at it? Meh.
*peruses changesets*
*is skeptical that it will work right*
I put the vendor init in to make all the recoveries and roms run across all models. And I think just about every rom uses it now. Without it... I suppose most popular roms will install since they assert as shieldtablet. But if someone has one specifically for wx_na_wf or such, that won't work. Do you know why the vendor init isn't running? It works on my multirom twrp builds built in an omni 5.1.1 tree. But if you really want to revert to a non-unified build, you should add the fingerprints back and probably split to three separate builds, one for each model.
Also, why is selinux being removed? Won't that break labeling on install? Is there a bug/missing rule I'm missing?
The decryption support seems simple enough, one line. I'll pull that in tomorrow and credit you and the review for it. Maybe I can finagle a formatted patch into my repo to keep authorship and all.

NEWS! Keymapping for Games is coming to RemixOs..

Yeah,you heard it right!
The long awaited feature,ability to map keys for games that are originally developed for touchscreen enabled devices are coming to RemixOs.
The chinese version of RemixOs has a new version (2.0.401) dated 27th June 2016,which claims to support keymapping.
You can check the changelog at https://bbs.jide.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=7351
I wanted to give it a try.but the download was stucked due to the low bandwith offered by server,unfortunately.
If you are brave enough to take a early look,or can't wait for the global release. here are the download links.
1) http://pan.baidu.com/s/1bpibhZT
Code: gbku
2) https://yunpan.cn/OcRUtwhPNKenuX
Code: 938d
PS: Those files are hosted in chinese servers,so the bandwith is not super high. You're on your own,and ask google translate for help

There're few bugs that stop Android-x86 6.0 from daily use. For example,Google play services always crash on Intel Gen8+ GPUs,which is not fixed yet.
But the devs at Jide are actively contributing to Android-x86 6.0 and you'll be able to see the results in near future. For instance,the issue of Time being reset in Windows is fixed
in the latest commit, Check the marshmallow-x86 branch at https://github.com/android-x86-mirror
Hmm...seems like a solid release. I will wait for the official announcement and update though. If it fixes my nvidia/wifi/sound issues I might actually start using this

I think there is no remix os 3.0 for PC(x86) :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying:
I downloaded and installed it. My impression :
1 Locked DOWN, no more root command line
2 No Play Store option
3 Does include keymapping
4 Stock file manager can no longer read the partition on which Remix OS is installed
5 Maybe a little more quick because of changes to disk partition access
This may be because it is currently for Chinese users, hopefully there will be more flexibility with the release
EDIT 2016/07/01: After solving problems of getting into root command line, was able to deactivate jide app policy and then went on to install nova launcher, etc. Then using help from @HypoTurtle I was able to do systemless root. Everything now operating well. I will continue testing this 2.0.401 over the next few days for stability.
Summary:
1 No longer locked down
2 Play Store is activated
3 keymapping confirmed
4 Solid Explorer can read all disk partitions by using Stickmount
5 So far seems quicker than 2.0.205

If someone can post the ramdisk I'll compare to the previous version but regardless the current systemless root su/ramdisk.img should work fine; unless it's drastically different.

1) audio still not working (Realtek high definition audio) - We are still working on more support for audio cards. Please be patient as this is still a continual work in progress.
2) no USB mount, it gives an error about a corrupted usb card - Our testers have shown that most external USB drives are supported. Can you send us your info through our user feedback form so we're aware of your specific device's issues? https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1cZNesOmnmO2esilFpvMzFZ874rvwsiKgWIX2fo9QsDk/viewform
3) YouTube doesn't work - I've been testing YouTube all day on my Remix OS for PC device. The app works fine. Watching on YouTube through Chrome has some issues, but on the whole, still works. Just not as well as the app. So, are you referring to the app or in browser experience?
4) kernel is not updated to 4.4.1.7 - I just checked with our PM and he stated that they're still testing this. Though we integrated rc2, this is one thing that was held back for testing to make sure it didn't affect overall system stability. However, stating it on the release notes was a mistake made on my part. There was miscommunication between myself and the PM and I listed this when it was still in our internal testing phase. I do apologize for this mistake and the confusion it may have caused!

1) audio still not working (Realtek high definition audio) - We are still working on more support for audio cards. Please be patient as this is still a continual work in progress.
2) no USB mount, it gives an error about a corrupted usb card - Our testers have shown that most external USB drives are supported.

Thank you for the detailed reply:
1) no audio - This is a popular sound card, and there are other threads on XDA and Google groups talking about this, so I hope it's high in your priority list. If you need me for any beta testing for this audio card, I'm in!
The fact that Android x86 RC2 has audio working gives hope it's not that difficult to implement it, right?
2) I was actually talking about a microSDXC card with exFAT format, a Kensington 64GB card, which doesn't mount. Is it a known bug?
3) Youtube doesn't work both using the standalone app and through browser. I don't know why.
4) This explains why it still shows the older kernel. Maybe this is the reason for missing audio???
Keep up the good work!!

Using ChromeOS Firmware Utility Script on Acer Chromebook C720P

https://mrchromebox.tech/#fwscript
To download and run the script, from a terminal/shell type:
cd; curl -LO https://mrchromebox.tech/firmware-util.sh && sudo bash firmware-util.sh
3. Install/Update Custom coreboot Firmware (Full ROM)
As this is a full replacement firmware, the script will offer users the option to back up their stock firmware on USB. Chromebox users have the option of a Legacy Boot or UEFI compatible firmware. When the Legacy Boot option is selected, users will have the option to set the default boot device (internal storage [default] or USB/SD); Haswell/Broadwell Chromebox users will also have the option to enable "headless" (no display attached) booting, as well as the option to enable PXE (Ethernet/network) booting via iPXE. If PXE support is enabled, it can also be set to be the default boot device. As before, changing any of these boot options requires re-running this script function.
Since Haswell/Broadwell/Baytrail Chromeboxes store their Ethernet MAC address in the VPD (vital product data) region of the stock firmware, the script will extract that region from the stock firmware and inject it into the new firmware ensuring the unique MAC address isn't lost. It will also persist the VPD region across firmware updates, so this is all transparent to the user.
After installing the Custom coreboot / Full ROM Firmware, your device will boot directly in UEFI (or Legacy) Mode; ChromeOS will not boot (though it will try to do so and fail, until a new OS is installed). Your ChromeOS device is now a "regular PC," and you can install the OS of your choice without any special instructions.
Supported Devices: All SandyBridge, IvyBridge, Haswell, Broadwell, Baytrail, Braswell, and Skylake ChromeOS devices, plus the 2018/Kabylake Chromeboxes
Requires firmware write-protect disabled: YES
Notes -
I am finally giving the middle finger to Google googledevs with their firmware restrictions on Acer Chreomebook C720P
1. Removed firmware protection screw from motherboard.
2. Ran the mrchromebox script above making sure to backup the original firmware to usb disk, in case of unfortunate bricking.
3. Reboot - I now have a fully functional UEFI PC with no firmware restrictions.
3. Can run Arnoldthebat v72 or FydeOS 6.0 with Kernel 4.14.83... or efi ubuntu, arch linux, (which I could already with seabios) etc.
4. Can run all variants of chromefied eve, nocturne, etc with Kernel 4.14.83 & FydeOS 6.0 or ATB v72 as base...
Next step - use the internal SSD to dd my Chrome OS of choice.
I am happy like a piglet in mud
Comment - this confirms that Google's firmware is crippleware to stop customers from updating their Chromebooks with unofficial ROMs
Background info: I own many ChromeOS devices (primarily used off eBay), including some older ones (Acer C720 and C720P), which -- as you know -- have expiring support in June 2019. In the meantime, I have plenty of experience running MrChromebox firmware enabling legacy dual-boot to my Linux-distro-of-choice -- either internally on a re-partitioned SSD, or an external USB stick. There is no great urgency to seeking out solutions to my soon-ending ChromeOS support, but your posts suggest that you are the 'expert' on the various options available for the C720P -- as noted in your post above.
Question: Have you considered the creation of an all-inclusive web page describing a C720P conversion -- not just the 'Full ROM/UEFI' change from MrChromebox, but everything else to get back an auto-update (?) ChromeOS with the latest features (Android/Linux) -- the stuff within #3 and #4 above?

You are welcome to give this a go - I do not have the expertise, or patience to set up an automated service of any sort, this is just a hobby to me, & owning a C720P, I just wanted it to be more useful to me despite the Acer & Google built in restrictions
Windows 10 To Go on Acer Chromebook C720P
This might become a thread if needed...
Soon after I purchased Acer CB C720P (in July 2014)- tinkerer hobbyist that I was, I tried to get Windows 8.1 to run from its USB 3.0 on it -
Of course this is a modest machine, so it was expected that they will try & discourage this as Windows 8.1, then later 10 laptops are more expensive, & this is supposed to be a Chrome OS machine, so running Windows on it will be made hard with lack of drivers & the sort...
Anyways, with the help of a few hackers posted advice, I managed to get it working with most functionalities, especially the trackpad.
As I have a Windows To Go 10 USB 3.0 SSD lying around, & after flashing the C720P firmware, just for fun, I tried to boot from it on the C720P...
& all the answers with drivers & howtos are published by coolstar (saving me having to find them) -
https://coolstar.org/chromebook/windows-install.html?device=peppy
Surprisingly, it became very stable with the latest iteration of Windows 10, with most drivers working, apart from trackpad & screen touch...
I will try & get these to work, & if so, will publish results & cooking here, with links to drivers I scavenge too...
coolstar did the work - head on here for resources, howtos & drivers -
https://coolstar.org/chromebook/windows-install.html?device=peppy
Hi, I've a question. I have Acer CXI3-I716GKM (on 8gen Intel) and I want to reflash windows and drivers. Should I use your recommendations when using modern Chromebox? Thank u in advance

LineageOS 18.1 for SM-T580 (gtaxlwifi) and SM-P580 (gtanotexlwifi)

This is LineageOS 18.1, which is based on Android 11, for the WiFi-only variants of the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1" (2016), with model SM-T580 and codename gtaxlwifi, and the Galaxy Tab A 10.1" (2016) with S-Pen, with model SM-P580 and codename gtanotexlwifi. LineageOS doesn't need much of an introduction - It's a well-known custom firmware/Android distribution.
As was always planned, my LineageOS 18.1 builds continue on from @followmsi's LineageOS 18.1 builds that were intended for use by users. To update from his builds, my builds can simply be installed on top of an existing install from his builds without doing anything further (or "dirty flashed").
Downloads:
Note: While these builds are mainly intended to be used on the WiFi-only variants of these devices, they can be installed and used on LTE variants if you can go without mobile networking (of course), GPS and vibration.
Since I now have a T585, I've got LineageOS 19.1 builds for gtaxllte, and gtanotexllte as well, up in my 19.1 thread. I suggest using those.
For SM-T580/gtaxlwifi:
Latest build from 20221025 (with security patch level 20221005): https://drive.google.com/file/d/18PHMUSUW9A0ZfhjpSYCV0GiHW2Damskw/
Folder for builds (which contains a text file with a SHA256 checksum for the latest build, and a folder containing previous builds): https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1wuirD9cyoguv7CQdEO5ymZ911k2ASKKD
For the T580, the latest official TWRP build from here should be used. If installing a build for the T580 to the LTE variant, with model SM-T585 and codename gtaxllte, keeping in mind some functionality will of course be missing as described in my note, the latest official TWRP build for gtaxllte from here can also be used.
For SM-P580/gtanotexlwifi:
Latest build from 20221025 (with security patch level 20221005): https://drive.google.com/file/d/11Iv75MtGAx4yvCWz-kN3wZOm-vgN4eE1/
Folder for builds (which contains a text file with a SHA256 checksum for the latest build, and a folder containing previous builds): https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1fVGx1xGUxAtTvE0rG-OidwbXLM_93om2
For the P580, I've made unofficial TWRP builds from an updated device tree and the same kernel sources used for these LineageOS builds that must be used.
Download link for an image of my latest TWRP build: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TAFLVpxdYQNvfvUPS_BGKx3imphR1Wd2/
Download link for a tar archive containing it for installation via Odin in the AP slot: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Ay55ntZj7Uptzm--hiCaeG1C5lamQ1fG/
Changelogs:
Releases for 20221025:
Latest changes from LineageOS, including the 20221005 Android security updates.
The torch has been fixed.
Performance of animations and responsiveness has been improved slightly.
Configuration files for media codecs and profiles have been updated from Samsung's M105FDDS4CVG1 firmware, and audio codec support might be improved slightly (as the Codec 2.0 media codec framework has been fixed and is now used).
Some updates from the 4.9 Android common kernel have been applied to the kernel.
The WiFi drivers RX wakelock feature has been disabled - Heavy battery drain that occurred in sleep when connected to certain WiFi networks due to "qcom_rx_wakelock" wakelocks has been fixed.
Previous releases:
Releases for 20220903:
Latest changes from LineageOS, including the 20220805 Android security updates.
Some things that appeared that are only relevant for devices with mobile networking (such as the baseband version and SIM status sections in About tablet in settings) no longer appear.
The ZRAM size has been increased to 2GiB, and the swappiness is now set to 100.
A higher frequency (1246MHz, was 902MHz previously) is now set for the interactive CPU governors "hispeed_freq" value - This improves responsiveness slightly.
The sepolicy containing device-specific SELinux rules has been improved slightly.
Yet more miscellaneous cleanups have been done.
Some updates from the 4.9 Android common kernel have been applied to the kernel.
Releases for 20220803:
Latest changes from LineageOS, including the 20220705 Android security updates.
Some updates from the 4.9 Android common kernel have been applied to the kernel.
Releases for 20220628:
Latest changes from LineageOS, including the 20220605 Android security updates.
Many updates from the 4.9 Android common kernel, and some from a few other sources, have been applied to the kernel.
Releases for 20220526:
Latest changes from LineageOS, including the 20220505 Android security updates.
The problem where enabling the "Enable on-screen nav bar" option at Settings -> System -> Buttons caused touchscreen input to be disabled has been fixed.
Native support for IPsec tunnels has been enabled.
Support for Vulkan compute is now declared.
A new custom version of the open source Samsung audio HAL from Lineage's android_hardware_samsung repository is now used, rather than the stock, heavily-patched, proprietary Samsung audio HAL, with some fixes for a problem that made it unusable before where occasionally, audio would get outputted from both the speakers and the headphone jack.
The playback and low-latency capture period sizes have been reduced to 128 in the open source audio HAL, which reduces audio latency.
Pro audio support is now declared, since with the reduced period sizes, as well as with the use of the open source audio HAL, round-trip audio latency has been reduced enough for it.
Many updates from the 4.9 Android common kernel have been applied to the kernel.
Several fixes to the Sony HID driver in the 4.9 Android common kernel have been ported over to the kernel - Sony DualShock 4 controllers should now work properly.
Releases for 20220423:
Latest updates from Lineage, including the 20220405 Android security updates.
The tablet product characteristic has been added back after being mistakenly removed - Places where the device was referred to as a phone (such as the "About phone" section in settings) will now refer to it as a tablet again.
Some small improvements from my fixes for LineageOS 19.1 have been applied to the sepolicy containing the SELinux rules.
Some other miscellaneous cleanups have been done.
A few updates from the 4.9 Android common kernel and Samsung's A600FNXXU9CVB1 kernel sources have been applied to the kernel.
Releases for 20220325:
Latest updates from Lineage, including the 20220305 Android security updates.
The previously used 32-bit GPS blobs have been replaced with 64-bit blobs from Samsung's A810SKSS2CTI1 firmware.
The XTRA servers for Assisted GPS have been switched to the servers used in Samsung's stock firmwares - This fixes Assisted GPS, which turned out to actually not appear to work with the previous XTRA servers.
Even more small miscellaneous cleanups have been done.
There are some updates from the 4.9 Android common kernel to the kernel.
Releases for 20220224:
Latest updates from Lineage, including an increase of the Android security patch level to 20220205 (just an increase as interestingly, for this month, there aren't any (relevant) security updates).
The WiFi firmwares have been updated from Samsung's T395XXSDCVA1 firmware.
There are some final updates from the 4.4 Android common kernel (which is unfortunately now also discontinued along with Linux v4.4) and some updates from the 4.9 Android common kernel to the kernel.
[SM-P580/gtanotexlwifi only] Touch input and input from the back and recent apps keys is now ignored when the S-Pen is in use. (Thanks to @unknowwiiplayer for testing the changes for this)
Releases for 20220122:
Latest updates from Lineage, including the 20220105 Android security updates.
There are some updates from the 4.4 Android common kernel to the kernel.
Some changes have been applied to a few drivers specifically for Android in the kernel (mainly the binder driver) from the 4.19 Android common kernel for Q.
A few changes from the 3.18 Android common kernel that were missing from the kernel have been applied.
Releases for 20211222:
Latest updates from Lineage, including the 20211205 Android security updates.
There are some updates from the 4.4 Android common kernel to the kernel.
Releases for 20211114:
Latest updates from Lineage, including the 20211105 Android security updates.
The WiFi driver has been switched from being a kernel module to being built into the kernel. This may improve reliability for enabling and disabling WiFi and the WiFi hotspot very slightly.
The libexynoscamera3.so library has been updated from Samsung's P580ZSS1CTI1 stock firmware - This improves the situation with the issues with stretched/squashed camera previews for images and stretching/squashing in videos at some resolutions.
The MFC (Multi-Format Codec) firmware has been updated from Samsung's A305FDDU6CUI3 firmware.
As the oldest proprietary blobs are now as in Samsung's P580ZSS1CTI1 stock firmware (with a few exceptions), the vendor security patch level has been increased to 2020-09-01, which is the security patch level that firmware has.
Configuration files for media codecs and profiles have been updated from Samsung's T580XXS5CTK1 stock firmware.
Most SELinux rules that are technically not allowed (by neverallow rules) have been replaced with much better rules or removed.
There are some (final) updates from the (unfortunately now deprecated so no longer updated) 3.18 Android common kernel, some updates from Linux 4.4, and a few updates from Samsung's J600FPUUACUH2 and A720SKSU5CUJ2 kernel sources to the kernel.
Releases for 20211023:
Latest updates from Lineage, including the 20211001 Android security updates, and a fix for the issue where the media controls in the notification panel squash the quick settings tiles and make it impossible to swipe through them when in landscape.
Workarounds for an issue with rebooting to recovery and download mode from system using the advanced restart menu or the reboot command in a shell have been replaced with a proper fix.
Yet further slight miscellaneous cleanups have been done.
[SM-P580/gtanotexlwifi only] A problem where S-Pen input wasn't registering in the right directions in orientations other than portrait, as the axes for it didn't change on orientation changes accordingly, has been fixed by enabling orientation awareness for it (Thanks to @retiredtab for sharing that fix).
[SM-P580/gtanotexlwifi only] The cursor that appeared when using the S-Pen has effectively been disabled by setting the device type for the S-Pen input to a touchscreen (Thanks to @Acatzin for the hint for this).
[SM-T580/gtaxlwifi only] The system image size has been increased from 3072000000 bytes to 3145728000 bytes, which is the size of the system partition on Korean and Chinese variant T580s and T585s, and the smallest system partition size out of all T580s and T585s.
[SM-P580/gtanotexlwifi only] The system image size has been decreased from 3072000000 bytes to 3045064704 bytes, to accomodate for the SM-P583s system partition which has that size. With this change, it should now be possible to install this latest build for the P580 on the P583 and for it to boot fine, since the P583 basically seems to be a P580 but for China, although I can't be certain on that.
There are some updates from the 3.18 Android common kernel and Linux 4.4 to the kernel.
Releases for 20210922:
Latest updates from Lineage, including the 20210905 Android security updates.
The ZRAM size has been increased to 768MiB.
Even further miscellaneous cleanups have been done.
The 32-bit wcnss_filter binary, used for Bluetooth, that was used previously has been replaced with the 64-bit wcnss_filter binary from Samsung's A520FZTU4BRB1 firmware.
There are some updates from the 3.18 and 4.4 Android common kernels and Linux 4.4, a few changes backported from mainline Linux, and also a few other insignificant changes to the kernel.
An issue where there was additional extremely quiet high-pitched noise from the right speaker has been fixed. (Thanks to @Kostareka for reporting it. It likely would've gone unnoticed for at least a very long time into the future otherwise.)
First proper release for the P580.
Release for 20210810:
Latest updates from Lineage, including the 20210805 Android security updates.
This is my first build that is signed using my own release keys. This change was removed in the second build released for 20210810 (with "-R2-Test-keys" in the filename).
The BSP sources have been redone to closely match what has been done with the new exynos7880-specific part of Lineage's BSP sources, and with that, there are now more exynos7870-specific changes to the open source gralloc that is in use.
Some further small miscellaneous cleanups have been done.
There are some updates from the 3.18 Android common kernel and Linux 4.4 to the kernel, and a few other insignificant changes.
Release for 20210709:
Latest updates from LineageOS.
Merges of the latest changes from AOSP for repositories forked by Lineage have been picked to skip the wait for them to be merged (repopick -t android-11.0.0_r39), and the rest of the repositories not forked by Lineage were additionally switched to the android-11.0.0_r39 tag, for the 20210705 Android security updates.
A patch to the PermissionController app has been applied that adds the FAKE_PACKAGE_SIGNATURE permission group to it - The signature spoofing permission can now be managed through the permission management interface at Settings -> Privacy -> Permission manager.
The audio outputted from the audio jack while playing media will now be noticeably louder, as the headset "DAC1 playback volume" for media has been increased to the maximum of 175 from 162.
There are some updates from the 3.18 Android common kernel and Linux 4.4 to the kernel.
A few patches have been applied to the qcacld-2.0 WiFi driver in the kernel, which are mainly vulnerability fixes.
Release for 20210617:
Latest updates from LineageOS, including the 20210605 Android security updates.
The WiFi and Bluetooth firmwares have been updated from Samsung's A720SKSU5CTL2 firmware.
The qcom_cfg.ini configuration file for WiFi has been imported from Samsung's A720SKSU5CTL2 firmware - A change within it appears to have made WiFi more reliable.
The sensors.universal7870.so library has been updated from Samsung's stock P580ZSS1CTI1 firmware.
The health HAL has been upgraded to version 2.1.
There are a few other small miscellaneous changes (mostly small cleanups).
There are many updates from the 3.18 Android common kernel and Linux 4.4 to the kernel.
Some unnecessary drivers have been disabled in the kernel.
The sdfat driver in the kernel, which is used for exFAT filesystem support, has been updated to version 2.4.5.
A few changes have been imported to the MMC block device driver in the kernel from Samsung's M105GDXS6CUD4 kernel that fix extremely rare kernel panics that occurred when there was an error with a MMC device (mainly with SD cards).
The fix for an issue where the duration of videos that are taken is lengthened by the time spent in deep sleep/suspended that was previously used has been replaced with a better fix in the Exynos fimc-is2 driver in the kernel.
Release for 20210508:
Latest updates from LineageOS, including the 20210505 Android security updates.
New SELinux denials with Android 11 have been addressed, and with that, SELinux is now set to enforcing by default, and the sepolicy, which contains the SELinux rules, has been rewritten almost entirely, and is now of much better quality.
Some changes have been imported to libbt-vendor from https://github.com/LineageOS/android_hardware_qcom_bt on branch lineage-18.1-caf.
BPF offloading for tethering has been disabled.
The audio HAL has been upgraded to version 6.0.
The rampatch_tlv_tf_1.1.tlv firmware for Bluetooth has been updated from Samsung's stock T585XXS6CTJ7 firmware.
There are some updates from the 3.18 Android common kernel and Linux 4.4 to the kernel.
Some tcp_info-related patches have been applied to the kernel, and with that, a workaround, a patch titled "TcpSocketTracker: Opt-out for TCP info parsing on legacy kernels", is no longer used since it's no longer necessary.
A workaround that was used to get USB tethering and Bluetooth tethering to work is no longer used, and has been replaced with a proper fix (enabling CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_CT in the kernel).
Release for 20210407 (My initial 18.1 build. This changelog continues on from @followmsi's last 18.1 build that was intended for use by users):
Latest changes from LineageOS. The crashes that occurred when setting a new wallpaper that were discussed earlier in this thread appear to have been fixed.
Merges of the latest changes from AOSP, including the 20210405 security updates, have been picked to skip the wait for them to be merged. (repopick -t android-11.0.0_r34)
The same workaround that was used on 17.1 to get USB tethering and Bluetooth internet access sharing to work has been forward-ported and applied.
vintf manifest override enforcement is now enabled.
The vendor/lib[64]/egl/libGLES_mali.so blobs are now symlinked to vendor/lib[64]/vulkan.exynos5.so, rather than copied to vendor/lib[64]/hw/vulkan.exynos5.so - This is a proper fix for Vulkan support.
RSA key verification for ADB is enabled again, and ADB isn't enabled by default and on boot anymore.
There are some updates from the 3.18 Android common kernel and Linux 4.4 to the kernel.
Known issues and workarounds (if any):
Issue 1: Occasionally, when trying to select quick settings tiles in the notification panel, it will crash to the lockscreen.
I have no idea about this issue. It seems like some type of generic systemui crashes. But regardless, it doesn't exist under Android 12 which I've moved onto, and it's here to stay for 11 unfortunately.
Issue 2: Camera previews for images to be taken at resolutions with aspect ratios other than 16:9 using the rear camera are squashed from 16:9 (while final saved images at any resolution are unaffected by any squashing), and videos taken at some resolutions are affected by similar issues with squashing in previews, and, in a smaller set of resolutions, also in final saved video files. (Note that these issues don't affect the front-facing camera)
Somewhat of a workaround to issue 2: Use resolutions at which there are no issues with squashing from 16:9.
To report further issues, get a log from logcat and dmesg. If you're unsure on how to get either, there's good documentation out there for how to do so.
Sources:
A manifest containing all of the necessary repositories to make a build for either the T580 or P580 is in this repository on branch lineage-18.1: https://github.com/TALUAtGitHub/gtaxlwifi-manifests
Thanks to:
@Valera1978 - for all of the previous work for the T580 (and T585) long ago, and for providing his old BSP sources without which the previously used open BSP sources wouldn't have been possible.
@followmsi - for fixes to various issues and other improvements, for useful information, and for working with me on much of this stuff.
Anyone who has previously tested anything new I've put up for testing, reported results, and gave details for me to get it working if it was necessary.
The Lineage team - for the Android distribution itself.
...and everyone else who has worked on anything that is in use.
Just installed it on a device that was still running stock. Works flawlessly, thanks!

This problem is only in android 11 when I go back to some android 10 ROM there is no problem
there are the results of bliss roms
Thank you for your (and @followmsi 's) ongoing support for this device!
My T-580 never felt old to me because of you!

Issue 3: the on-screen navigation bar feature that can be enabled with the option at Settings -> System -> Buttons -> "Enable on-screen nav bar" doesn't work properly.

-onscreen navigation bar works for me, just the "disable hardware buttons" part does not.
For workaround I use Srgrusso's patch from here.
-Safetynet fails where it hadn't before. (no biggie for me, just a thing I noticed)
Great rom!
I flashed this + Flame Gapps and Magisk 22.1.
The first custom rom for this device where Ableton Link works!!
Hi @TALUAtXDA and thanks for your your work ,and the other behind the release
My needs are very basic, I just need something stable, no need for root, sd-card storag etc..
Would this be the preferred ROM? Or is the 17x release a better for my needs?
Regarding Gapps, I noticed that users are using Flame Gapps and NikGapps, but I guess the regular Open Gapps could be an option as well.
What is the recommended Gapps variant?
Kind regards Erik
Issue 4: Adoptable storage (probably) doesn't work.
Somewhat of a workaround to issue 4: format and use your micro SD card with the exFAT filesystem (and a MBR parition table).

Anyone else check this yet? It's working for me on @TALUAtXDA's previous version (202010407). I use this feature quite a bit as internal storage is too small, don't want to lose it if I dirty flash this version.

I'm referring specifically to the "Enable on-screen nav bar" option at Settings -> System -> Buttons, that doesn't require any system-level changes as made by that package that you've linked. When enabling it, no touch input is accepted anymore for some reason. It needs to be locked and unlocked a few times for it to accept input and the on-screen navbar added through that feature to work temporarily.

I have no idea about this. I'd have thought that it's now more likely to pass.

Hmm, wow.... I didn't expect that to be fixed in this release. That's great. :)

For stability, 17.1 would be slightly better. With 18.1, there are certain occasional crashes (see issue 1) that I'm not sure about at the moment, which you may or may not be able to tolerate.
As for Google apps, it's whichever is the smallest variant. For nikgapps, that would be core, and for opengapps, that would be pico. Something to note is that opengapps seems to often be more problematic for Android 11 than other google app packages, so it could be better to go for something else.

I actually didn't know if adoptable storage was working in my previous release. I just assumed it didn't considering that it never worked properly with 17.1. Knowing that it did in my previous release of 18.1, it would probably(?) also work with my latest release.

With NikGAPPS core, SafetyNet passes succesfully in my case.

Ok, I just dirty flashed it, SD as Internal Storage seems to still be working. Thanks!

Alright, thanks for the information. I've removed that from the list of issues. You're welcome.
One more question, does this rom impact supported widevine level?
Had similar question about safetynet, which at least one user claimed worked using NikGAPPS core. Anyway else with experience related to safetynet?

The widevine security level is L3, and always will be L3.
Found an issue: system recovery doesn't get overwritten when installing lineage-18.1-20210508-UNOFFICIAL-gtaxlwifi.zip. Might be related with SELinux.

Wouldn't that be what you would want so that you don't lose TWRP? We've specifically disabled that feature by setting the "persist.vendor.recovery_update" property to "false" since we don't want to use Lineage's recovery.
Maybe, it makes sense. TWRP is more powerful, and faster when installing updates.

Anyways, Thank you for such a great rom

..ok i rushed to fast. Ableton Link didn't sync correctly!
My guess there is something broken or missing in the LOS network stack or WiFi driver for the SM-T580 (gtaxlwifi).
I have an OnePlus 5T with LOS 18.1 (crDroid 7.6) and all apps with Ableton Link are in sync and stable over WiFi.
Here my message from planet-h.com forum:
Hi,
i have a Samsung Tablet SM-T580 WiFi and tried nearly every A10/A11 custom ROM, mostly LineageOS.
I can connect with other devices without trouble but if i start play in G-Stomper the sequencer LED's are flashing absolutely crazy and beats are rumbled.
Same with RemixLive but Snap from Reactable runs rock solid with Ableton Link!
Tried all audio drivers with various latency settings.
Tried switch some network options in the Developer options.
Tried various Devices with WiFi Hotspot or with Wifi AP.
Nothing helped. G-Stomper products & RemixLive connects but didn't sync correctly. Snap plays absolutely stable.
No Firewall, no custom DNS, no AdAway.
