  • In this video I show you how to install a custom Android 13 OS Called Lineage OS . This will basically bring new life into this 2016 tablet. The other main reason im doing this is for modern app support. I cant install modern apps on the old Android version 8 which was the last supported official version from Samsung.

    It worked great! Thanks. Just something that happenned to me and may happen to others is that the Google apps are installed with internet blocked. You must find the apps in configurations and allow internet connection.

    Had to restart once because of boot loop when starting LineageOS for the first time but after that everything worked exactly as you described. Thank you very much for giving me probably a couple of more years with my Galaxy Tab A 2016!

    I made it all the way to the Android 13 upgrade - working fine. I missed the part about not rebooting until Gaaps is installed. If you enable advanced restart and boot to trwp recovery mode, you can install Nikgapps for Android 13. I couldn't find Gapps for v. 13. Much easier. Thanks for the video.

    Great video! I’m looking for the best custom ROM for my Samsung A6 to upgrade from the default Android 8. I'm mainly looking for a smooth and stable experience. Do you recommend upgrading to a newer version like Android 13, or would an older version like Android 10 be better for performance? and thanks in advance

      @@babb4214 you're welcome honestly because these tablets are so old I would recommend just sticking to whatever has been tested and working for that version of hardware because newer doesn't always mean better in this case.

    When I restart recovery from lineageOS it boots me back into twrp 🤔and from there i install the gapps and refuses to properly work into the OS. Should I just keep wiping the device, flashing the OS until it works? or install an older version that other users have found no issues with?
