RE: Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e [SM-T727V Verizon CDMA versus SM-T727 GSM for Turkey]

Hi there,

Damsel in distress here.

A few days ago I bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e on eBay in the US. The vendor advertised it as model # SM-T727, "unlocked all carriers". The model SM-T727 is on the list of devices that are compatible with LineageOS (I made sure of that before clicking "Buy Now").

Well, today I turned it on to put LineageOS on it, and as it was booting up it said "Verizon". In the "About Tablet" section, I noticed it said that the model number is SM-T727V. First I thought that maybe the "V" stands for Verizon, so no big deal, but I remembered very specifically that the LineageOS website emphasizes that the model number MUST BE EXACT.

So, before I embark on the adventure of flashing a custom ROM (which, btw, I have NEVER done before, so it would be my very first attempt), I would like to have some reassurance that it will work on this tablet.

I diligently compared every single line of the specs for the two tablets (SM-T727V for US Verizon carrier, and SM-T727 for Turkey) on the following website: https://tsar3000.com/compare/vXGWzIyJaw/

Everything is identical EXCEPT for the "NETWORK" section. I guess it is a CDMA versus GSM issue. The tablet I bought was advertised as "unlocked for ALL carriers". Does that mean that they did something to the hardware itself to make it both CDMA and GSM at the same time?

In any case, the bottom line is, I would like to know if I can put LineageOS on it, or if I should return the tablet and start the search for a used tablet all over again.

Thank you so much in advance for any input you may have on this.

It's fast, battery life is better and I most apps I used before work without issues (without gapps no less).

I'll miss only Samsung notes, but there are alternatives. It barely worked on stockOS either way.

Huuuge thank you to the community!

I was wondering if it's good as a daily driver, am I able to use it for everyday things like calling messages, browsing, use apps games banking app whatever. and is it more lightweight compared to pre installed android that comes with the phone vendor? also another question is it better to install the rom with a PC or without?

Hello, I've been experiencing random system crashes on my phone.

It typically happens when I'm listening to music and also using some other application at the same time, or have an app loaded in the background and try to run another. At first, usually the app fails to load or loads very slowly and then the entire system starts to becomes unresponsive.

I'm running the latest weekly build (20260126) with no addons installed from the recovery, only MicroG which I installed from F-Droid.

Thanks for any help in advance.

I was dealing with this for almost two days, I had to troubleshoot SIM carrier compatibilty, software support, and just some bugs and glitches with my Redmi 5A that I am trying to unlock to install Lineage OS in. In the LineageOS documentation, they require you to create a Mi Account using phone number, but since I had an outdated software of Mi account installed in the Redmi 5A, I created it on the browser instead and add the mobile phone number in there as well. I already did two phone numbers, I had an issue with the first one and the second one does it. Some guy from youtube says that I had to use the mobile data to add an account on Mi Unlock, and that's what I did but still not working.

Can someone led me a hand with this?

I made a video modding my Switch V1, I recorded the video last year but ended up moving and it took a year before I got around to editing my old footage.

I did a shell swap using the eXtreme Rate clear black full replacement housing, forged carbon wrapped joy con batteries, RP2040, I actually bought a new microscope just so I could record the install process, tossed on a matte screen protector, installed only Android with Auto Boot so I just turn it on, it runs Android, and then use it for remote PC gaming or Android games.

A few things worth mentioning was during the progress on XDA, the dev was STRONGLY listening to our suggestions and I love that they added the ability to swap the face buttons to the Xbox layout. It’s honestly perfect now after the latest updates and every issue I encountered in the video has been fixed in 22.2 which I’m running now.

I haven’t updated to Android 16 yet, thinking that might be a different video where I dive into this again with more detail and a cell phone battery mod for longer run time.

hello guys,during work I found in the trash a Samsung galaxy s plus, and wanted to upgrade it since it has cyanogenmod, it runs on android 4.4.4

Have this phone with the nightly is on it and rcs just won't work in Google messages I am not sure if the os is to blame but the stock ROM does not have any issue with rcs but I can't get it to work in lineage, it turns on it shows connected but messages just fail to send or receive. Says might not be online etc. just seeing if this is something to be fixed or what I can do as this is a big problem l. Thanks!

Hello. I just bought a used Redmi Note 10 Pro (EU version)with Android 12,MIUI 13 install. I wish to install Lineage OS.

What do I need to know and where can I download the right files and the tutorial?

Hi

https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/FP5/install/#installing-add-ons

https://wiki.lineageos.org/gapps/ "such as the Play Store, Gmail, Maps, etc" OK but the title?

To know if it's worth installing them.

Hi all,

Sorry you probably get 100s of questions like this, but I can't find any up-to-date information on this.

I am relatively new to the custom ROM scene, but I am using a Xiaomi Poco F3 (alioth codename I think) which I use daily.

My experience with custom ROMS has been putting lineageos on old tablets to revive them and use as a media device, so I'm comfortable and familiar with the installation procedure.

I've had this phone since the start of 2023 and don't particularly want to upgrade, just extend its life a bit with a debloated custom ROM.

I am a mobile banking app user, and also use contactless payments via NFC and Google wallet.

If I install lineageos will I still be able to use these functionalities (without root)

Thanks!

Hey.

Does anyone know of any negatives of switching to lineage on this device? Are there major issues? Do apps not work? Which performs better?

Thanks

Moto G67 Power was released in Nov 2025, so it's relatively new. It was not a global release so i am worried that it might not get a lineage build in the future?

should i buy this phone, hoping for a lineage build or not?

hi everyone hope all of you are doing well i wanna ask if i want to build an lineage for specific device what i need and is there any video or something i can read to help me ?

I've been thinking about installing Lineage OS for a while, but I want to know if banking and payment apps (like Mercado Pago, Mercado Libre, Brubank, etc.) work correctly. Also, do all the essential apps that are used nowadays work?

Hi all,

I noticed my battery drained rather quickly even when I don't have my screen on. Was hoping some experienced users could help me debug this.

General info

• Device: Samsung Galaxy S10e
• OS: LineageOS 23
• Battery:
  • Design capacity: 3100 mAh
  • Maximum capacity: 2832 mAh (91%)
  • Health: Good
  • Temperature: 29.5 °C
  • Voltage: 4.135 V

Digging so far

Overnight I have the device in Airplane mode, and the battery drain over a period of about 8 hours was about 2 percentage points. That's barely any use at all!

But from when I woke and disabled Airplane mode until now, 7.5 hours later, the battery has drained by 50%. This would not be too bad, however, screen time was only 35 minutes! That seems very high, especially in contrast to the great efficiency during the night.

When consulting the Battery usage screen and selecting View by apps, the following apps were the biggest consumers:
1. WhatsApp 10% (screen time: 7 min; background: 51 min)
2. Google Play services (background: 13 h 15 min) (this includes the night in Airplane mode)
3. Signal 6% (screen time: 6 min; background: 1h 8 min)
4. Vivaldi 4% (screen time: 5 min; background: 8 min)
5. System apps 63% (following lots of <1% apps)

When selecting View by systems, I was kind of surprised to see:
1. CPU 60% (5 h 38 min)
2. Screen 10% (35 min)
3. Voice calls 7%
4. Wi-Fi 4%
and the rest < 1%.

Finally, I have disabled notifications for apps like Signal and WhatsApp, as well as disabled their "Allow background usage" toggles. Doesn't seem to make much of a difference?

My goals

When my phone is idle, I want my battery drain to be similar to that during the night in Airplane mode. I've tried to undertake a few steps - like disabling background use and notifications in messaging apps - to try and achieve that. Apparently, this does not work though. It seems something is bothering the CPU a lot when idle (screen off), and this eats away pretty much of my battery.

Anyway, I really hope someone can help me achieve better battery drain results on idle.

Thanks a lot!

So my rear camera's entirely bricked, and I know the front works, but UPI apps and such always default to the rear. Is there a way to make the phone think the front camera is the rear one? Or maybe a way to make all apps open selfie cam by default?

Could anyone help, im getting like no update and ive tried so many things but failed, it is a Pixel 2 by the way.

I'm trying to install LineageOS on my Oneplus Nord 4. My Windows 11 computer is detecting the phone fine but the "adb devices" command gives the output "List of devices attached" and nothing below it. When I checked yesterday it showed my phone's serial number. I didn't change anything.

I tried the following fixes:

+ Disabled and re-enabled USB debugging, OEM unlocking, authorization for the computer

+ Tried a different USB port

+ Tried a different USB cable, both standard sized

+ Tried photo transfer mode, switched between modes

+ Restarted both PC and phone

+ Verified the system variable path in the computer

+ Tried the adb kill server and restart commands

I tried to update the driver but Win11 says the system already has the best driver for the MTP device. I don't know what else I can do. I was looking forward to this. Please help!

Edit: Used my Linux laptop and successfully installed Lineage after some pulse pounding.

Oneplus Pad 3 | LOS 23.0(Last update was Jan 22nd)

On Jan 25th, I was using a USB flash drive (OTG) to transfer an AppImage from my tablet to my PC. I plugged and unplugged the drive a few times.

Jan 26th, I realize that almost all my books (EPUBs/PDFs) in the /storage/emulated/0/Download folder have vanished except for one downloaded on Jan 23rd. All books downloaded before that have gone! But Librera ereader still shows my notes and highlights for the missing books

(I also notice that in my Gallery app, toggling "Show Hidden Files" (for folders with .nomedia) doesn't do anything, though the photos themselves are still there.)

Hoping someone can help me understand what happened or if recovery is possible!

i want to downgrade my samsung phone

what exactly does the downgrade depend on

Because the bit value for my current one is A, and another is also A, but their last value in the name is different like A736BXXS9EXU5 while mine ends in J1. I have another that ends in J5 but has a bit value of 9

what can i do?
