My best Christmas gift !

  1. Stock camera doesn’t work at all (reason i and ii). Starting with LineageOS 19.1 and higher, camera API functionality (pictures and videos) isn’t even recognized by the OS. The Samsung camera drivers are proprietary so they can’t be changed and there’s no open source implementation.

Q5. What TWRP should I use?
A5. You MUST use TWRP 3.6.2_9-0. Do not use any other version including the “latest”.

Q11. Do I need to erase everything and format my data?
A11. Yes, you MUST erase all the partitions (system, data, dalvik/art cache, cache) using TWRP and MUST format your data before installing 20 when you are coming from stock or an earlier version of LineageOS or from another custom rom. If you get stuck at the boot animation for more than 5 minutes, it’s likely because you didn’t follow the instructions I just wrote. Dirty flashes from stock, other custom roms or older LineageOS versions are not supported and not likely to work.

Wow, i did not expect a new /e/os version for this still useful tablet at all. ronnz98 you are the man - thanks a lot!

Thanks so much for the update! I really love your unofficial builds.

I tried using a different launcher but couldn’t find one that works and lets me hide some apps. Seems like Bliss is constantly restarting in the background as soon as I set another launcher to be the start application.

Any idea what to do?

Which S2 Tablet do you have?

I have an SM-T813 with a Qualcomm APQ8076 CPU and an MSM8952 chip set. Everything but the alternative launcher runs just fine so far.

I do not have SM-T813 anymore. I remember that on exynos based S2 alternative Launcher could be installed, but this also might be an issue with the current /e/OS version

I managed to get Lawnchair working after deactivating the task bar. Thanks for all the help!

Also you can do this if you want to use another launcher and deactivate bliss launcher:

Works like a charm on my SM-T813.
THX a lot.

Flashing my beloved T-813 ( still 80% battery health after 8 years ! ) right now , will report back

What App do you use to figure out the battery health?

accubattery , but I feel that sometimes it gives pessimistic result

So great result with this 2.7 !

I even feel it’s more stable than ~2.2 ?

I really love the new tablet interface with easy split view !

I tried to install from TWRP 3.6.2_9-0 (clean install deleting all partitions and formatting data) on my SM-T819 the 2.6.3 and the 2.7 versions, with both of them on the first boot the screen is stuck in landscape mode with the writings in landscape position and all the buttons and the menu like they are in portrait position, so it’s impossible to press them 'cause I have to press in random positions.

did you install the gapps?

does the camera work?

is T-813??

Thanks a lot for this one!
Works almost perfectly on my T-813 too.
Just small adjustments to the Font & Display sizes required, otherwise the Bliss launcher Icons had no text under.

For those not experienced with LOS20 on this tablet: don’t expect any thumbprint & camera support! Updated proprietary Samsung FW/Drivers would be required.

Dear Ron, works perfectly on my gts28velte. I would love to change to Nova Launcher, but Bliss Launcher keeps restarting. Any way to solve this?
