MinsOS is a One UI 8.5 (Android 16) port for the Galaxy Tab S7 and S7+, tablets Samsung stopped at Android 13. Four builds cover eight models: gts7xlwifi (SM-T970), gts7lwifi (SM-T870), gts7l (SM-T875, T875N) and gts7xl (SM-T976B, T975, T975N, T976N). Each runs a Galaxy Tab S9+ (SM-X810) One UI 8.5 system on the tablet's own stock vendor with a 4.19 kernel built from source, using the UN1CA build system. The ROM is pre-rooted with KernelSU-Next, so Play Integrity's strong verdict fails by design. The US models (T878U, T978U) cannot be unlocked and are not supported. Flash only the build for your exact model and read its wiki page first: the maintainer owns a T970, and the other models rely on owner reports. This project hosts the builds and their source, kernel included.
