MinsOS

MinsOS is a from-scratch One UI 8.5 (Android 16) port for the Galaxy Tab S7 series, tablets Samsung stopped at Android 13. Four codenames ship, covering eight models: gts7xlwifi (SM-T970), gts7lwifi (SM-T870), gts7l (SM-T875 / T875N) and gts7xl (SM-T976B / T975 / T975N / T976N). Built with the UN1CA build system: a Galaxy Tab S9+ (SM-X810) One UI 8.5 donor system on each tablet's own stock vendor, with a 4.19 kernel built from source. The ROM is pre-rooted and ships the KernelSU-Next kernel together with the manager app, so one sideload gives a rooted device - which also means Play Integrity fails, by design. The US Snapdragon models (T878U, T978U) are not supported: they have no OEM unlock toggle. Flash only the build for your exact model, and read your device's page first - per-device status, known issues and the install guide are on the wiki, and the maintainer owns a T970. This SourceForge project hosts the flashable builds and the matching source, including the kernel source. Devi
