Why Still Use This in 2026?

It is reasonable to ask: why would anyone bother with a tablet from 2015 running a recovery from 2016? Several reasons:

  1. LineageOS 14.1 (Android 7.1.2) is still maintained unofficially for the SM-T560 by a small community. TWRP 3.0.2-1 is the only recovery capable of flashing it correctly.
  2. eReader conversion: Many users strip down the tablet to a minimal AOSP build, removing Google services entirely, and use it as a dedicated eBook or comic book reader. TWRP allows them to experiment with lightweight ROMs.
  3. Educational tool: Learning to flash recoveries, manage partitions, and troubleshoot boot loops on a cheap, disposable tablet is excellent practice for aspiring Android developers.
  4. Media server: With a custom kernel and TWRP backups, users can turn the SM-T560 into a small DLNA or music streaming client.
