MinsOS is a from-scratch One UI 8.0 (Android 16) port for the Galaxy Tab S7+ Wi-Fi (SM-T970 / gts7xlwifi), a tablet Samsung stopped at Android 13. Built with the UN1CA build system: a Galaxy Tab S9+ (SM-X810) One UI 8.0 donor system on the stock T970 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. SM-T970 Wi-Fi only, not T975 or T976. This SourceForge project hosts the flashable builds and the matching source, including the kernel source. Device tree, build patches, kernel recipe, install guide and troubleshooting are open source (GPL-3.0) at https://gitlab.com/minsos1/MinsOS - an independent project, not affiliated with Samsung.
