Please support the developer(s)!

The problem with the MAC address always being the same: 00-a0-c6-eb-5c-d8 is still unsolved.

Galaxy Tab S3 LTE (gts3llte, SM-T825)] + Tab S3 WiFi (gts3lwifi, SM-T820)]

Dear @ronnz98, can you please try to build a ROM /e/OS-R V2.1 with new BlissLauncher 3.0.1, no matter if the MAC address problem is fixed or not?

Unfortunately no, Bliss 3.x is supported only for S and T versions

Pardon, mistake on my part!
I meant can you please try to build a ROM /e/OS-S V2.1 with new BlissLauncher 3.0.1, no matter if the MAC address problem is fixed or not?

Dies the S Version work? I did onky test R Version so far?

Let’s try it out :grey_exclamation: The proof of the pudding is in the eating :smirk:

Can you Plesse try above 1.21 S Version first it works

:x: Installation failed. Your /e/OS-S V1.21 does not boot on my gts3llte.

After installation via TWRP, my SM-T825 only boots up to the official Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 logo. A few seconds later, the system automatically reboots to the Samsung logo = bootloop.


The same tablet:

:white_check_mark: Installation of @Awesometic’s lineage-20.0-20231116-UNOFFICIAL-gts3llte boots right away and can be set up.


:white_check_mark: Installation of @Awesometic’s lineage-21.0-20240309-UNOFFICIAL-gts3llte boots right away and can be set up.

Thanks for testing. So up to now the R version is the only working one for this tablet(s).
The developer seems currently not be active, but hopefully will be again so I can reach out to him

The same tablet:

:negative_squared_cross_mark: What’s working:** LTE (SM-T825)


:ballot_box_with_check: lineage-20.0-20231116-UNOFFICIAL-gts3llte

:x: What’s not working: LTE (SM-T825)


@ronnz98, it’s worth a try :interrobang:

Generally yes. But the sources are the same I used for eOS build and what LOS19 is

Another try for /e/OS-S now with patches applied.

After a successful clean install, three points come to the fore:

:white_check_mark: IMEI present
:x: MAC adress: 00-a0-c6-eb-5c-d8 problem …
:x: BlissLauncher 3.0.1-beta crashes at the first opportunity and is practically non-functional. A window constantly pops up and indicates that the BlissLauncher app has been terminated. I had to deactivate the BlissLauncher in order to get some peace and quiet into the system.

I have tried several alternative launchers, including Lawnchair, but - compared to a working BlissLauncher, all other Android launchers on a tablet are not a good alternative and only stopgap solutions.

For MAC adress: 00-a0-c6-eb-5c-d8 problem
there is not yet a solution

But LTE works?

Can you try to install:

or

:white_check_mark: 4G LTE (incoming and outgoing telephone calls, Nano-SIM)
:white_check_mark: 4G LTE Surfing (Internet access with 4G LTE, Cat6 300/50 Mbps)
:white_check_mark: WLAN (Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac)

BlissLauncher is and remains an intensive problem, regardless of which version is installed. The only solution is to use a different Android launcher.


MAC adress: 00-a0-c6-eb-5c-d8 problem is handleable if - as will be the rule - only one Galaxy Tab S3 system is used in a network.


What is really important with a tablet system with 4G LTE is that at least the mobile Internet access via SIM card works, because - not every tablet with a SIM card slot can also be used to make phone calls. For example, Appel iPad or German Telekom has disabled phone calls on its T-Tablet 5G. Even with stock Android 13, no dialer phone app is pre-installed.

Please try this ones:

Clean install. Tab S3 boots up, then stops for a minute in the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 logo. This is repeated constantly. No system setup possible.

Does anyone knows if it would be possible to set or install another default launcher via adb?
