[UNOFFICIAL BUILDS] Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 LTE (gts3llte, SM-T825)] / Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 WiFi (gts3lwifi, SM-T820)] for eOS S


Update e-2.3-s-20240822-UNOFFICIAL-gts3llte.zip by @ronnz98


Successful new installation aka clean install

With the first boot the screen greets you …

After x Close app the (empty) /e/ standard wallpaper is displayed without any characters.

After the system is set up, I installed the OpenLauncher activated it as Home app (Yes). This quiets the BlissLauncher for the time being, but the message “BlissLauncher keeps stopping” pops up again and again at regular intervals, so I deactivated it completely via adb shell pm disable foundation.e.blisslauncher

I’ve now customized the OpenLauncher a tiny bit (screenshot): Murena
The OpenLauncher is not a BlissLauncher, but the overall result is much better than with system startup and I can get comfortable with it.

@ronnz98, thank you for building this ROM.

The BlissLauncher problem is identical to the one described above (gts3llte):

With the first boot the screen greets you …

BlissLauncher keeps stopping

Device Wi-Fi MAC adress: 00:a0:c6:5c:d8

How did you install the OpenLauncher?

Ok, could do it now, one need to swipe to times from top to button to go to the settings. There one can install f-droid and the open launcher app.

However if I run
adb shell pm disable foundation.e.blisslauncher

Exception occurred while executing ‘disable’:
java.lang.SecurityException: Shell cannot change component state for foundation.e.blisslauncher/null to 2

Prehistory


Using TWRP 3.5.2 is highly recommended

:x: twrp-3.5.2_9-0-gts3llte does not work on my gts3llte; the TWRP start screen freezes and blocks the entire system.

:white_check_mark: e-2.5-s-20241113-UNOFFICIAL-gts3lltep by @ronnz98 works well, except for a few small things, after replacing the /e/BlissLauncher with the F-Droid Fossify Launcher.


Note: 4G LTE works with /e/OS-S but not with /e/OS-T

If you want the /e/OS-T version please use version from 13-NOV. LTE wont work on T, the developer is currently not active

Hello i’m bringing good news !
The update below works for the S3 LTE version, however the Bliss Launcher still doesn’t work.
I tried alternative like Fossify Launcher but the aesthetic is really bad.

But i managed to sucessfully install Bliss Launcher from F-Droid !
(Bliss Launcher | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository)

To do this you need to have root access

Step 0 : Sideload another Home app (like what did Xxpsilon on the post of Aug 2024), it’s necessary because without that you are stuck in the settings menu.

Step 1 : Completely uninstall the Bliss Launcher (not disabled but entirely removed)
To do this you can use De-Bloater an app that requires root access provided by magisk.
(idk if it’s possible to do it via adb, i just found the commands to disable apps not uninstall…)

Step 2 : Install the apk of the Bliss Launcher and setup it as home launcher in the settings.

Note :

  • The F-droid version of Bliss Launcher is outdated, the widget menu doesn’t work for example. However i found this fork where the widget work
  • Installing Magisk (or Delta Magisk) After verification it’s the build who seems to make the recovery unaccessible (recovery loading and black screen), you will need to reflash it with Odin
  • If you don’t trust the bliss launcher fork you can also use Lawnchair, it’s a pretty good alternative i think

Hello @ronnz98 ,

I have a few question, is there a way to get a newer apk version of the Bliss Launcher ? (Like extracting it from newer version of e/os)

And do you apply new security patchs on your /e/OS update ?
If it’s the case than it’s really cool, your build is the last rom compatible with LTE with updated security patch (if i’m not wrong).

You need to do a dirty flash when a new release is there

Ok and for a newer version of Bliss Launcher, is there anything i can do ?

New /e/OS versions might contain updates to Bliss, so I don’t think you can do much

I’ve listed all the bug/report info i encountered :

  • It seems that BlissLauncher V3.0.2-test (only test version) works fine on LineageOS 19.1 by Awesometic.
    But it always crash on this rom…

  • After flashing this build, TWRP (any version by Awesometic) can’t be accessed anymore after rebooting the device without flashing it again (“Recovery Booting” message and black screen), and you’re stuck in this bootloop when you try to hard reboot, until you flash the recovery again.
    The problem doesn’t exist with the LineageOS 19.1 or others roms.

  • The recents button don’t work, it doesn’t show the recent apps switch, the problems doesn’t seems to come from launchers, i tried with Launchair and Fossy Launcher and it doesn’t change anything.
    → To be more precise the recent button work, it’s the recent apps switch (who is bind in the recent button) who doesn’t work.

Am I the only one to have the two last bugs ?
