great work, /e/OS needs GSIs! boots and no issue yet, added here.
Samsung owners that have treble should really give this a try if the phh ims patch helps them do some volte calls!
@Colors is cooking again! Yey!
Downloading and testing…

You can try dirty install to update.
I’m impressed how fast and snappy UI is. It’s definitely faster than A14 GSI and especially than A13.
Calls work fine but I have the same networking problem like on A13. I can’t get wifi or mobile data to work, prevoius command (adb shell settings put global restricted_networking_mode 0) didn’t help this time.
Does anybody else have similar problems?
I only have a wifi tablet that works without problems. But Xxpsilon has put a mini review on Sourceforge in which it confirms that its devices work. It would be helpful, of course, to have some answers here, on the forum.
Redmi Note 10 works fine.
Again it seems that only MediaTek devices have some kind of problems. Why are they so buggy in comparison to Exynos and Snapdragon?
Unfortunately I only have a Snapdragon wireless tablet. I can not test Mediatek devices. Maybe it’s from me or maybe it’s a setback to the eOS system. I understand that version 3.0.2 has no problems… let’s wait for version 3.1.
I put the hw support table into the trebleDroid wiki post to reach more users - but in general on a Moto g60s Helio G95 the issue I encountered is no NFC HAL package, a missing FM Radio app, figuring out if I’m mishandling mediateks IMS package download or the carrier really denies ims registration. It runs pretty well though.
Thank you! Version 3.1 will solve the lack of app buttons.
I did an interesting experiment - I tried @Colors’ latest GSI on the same/similar phone model with different chipsets (Samsung A12).
On A125F version (MediaTek Helio P35) internet connection doesn’t work.
On A127F version (Exynos 850) everything is fine.
So I’m pretty sure it’s MediaTek SoC that is problematic, just like on A13.
Cross-check with this version:
v11.7-20250721-microG-gsi.img.xz
https://sourceforge.net/projects/crdroidos/files/GSI/v11.7-20250721-microG-gsi.img.xz/download
Yes, the same problem is present here (and on other GSI versions) but thanks for this crdroid version, I quite like it
So anyway, I did a little more digging and this is the problem:
Even though Wi-Fi and mobile data are connected, the device cannot access the internet. This issue is likely related to the MTK BPF (Berkeley Packet Filter) bug, which breaks networking functionality on some MediaTek devices running Android 13 or later.
### Describe the bug
The device shows that Wi-Fi and mobile data are connected, but no internet access is available. This issue is likely caused by a known kernel bug in MediaTek devices that affects BPF functionality, resulting in broken networking features.
### To Reproduce
1. Go to ‘Settings’ > ‘Network & Internet’.
2. Connect to a Wi-Fi network or enable mobile data.
3. Open a browser or any app that requires internet access.
4. See error: No internet access despite being connected.### Expected behavior
When Wi-Fi or mobile data is connected, the device should be able to access the internet without any issues.
Additional context
The issue is likely related to the MTK BPF bug, which affects networking functionality on some MediaTek devices.
The device uses a MediaTek (MTK) chipset, which is known to have this issue.
I tried to disable Restricted Networking Mode using the following ADB command (with no luck):
adb shell settings put global restricted_networking_mode 0
If you’re on kernel version 4.14 or 4.19, this is the fix:
This is a simple Python script that applies a binary patch to the given kernel image. Its purpose is to revert the BPF commit introduced by MTK, which indirectly broke arraymap while attempting to fix ubsan errors. The specified commit, caused connectivity issues on Android 12 based ROMs.
It works and I’m still looking for a solution for the other kernels so the progress is being made.
It deserves a separat post. Thank you!
I will provide more detailed update after I try it out on more phones.
I know it’s considered a bad manner on some forums but I seperated the posts to provide some structure to my scattered posts
Lightning fast, I don’t know what they changed in A15. Did anyone else notice how smooth and responsive it is?
Three button navigation also works fine for me, I prefer that over gestures.
Yea, buttons… because I’m an old guy. One at a time.
Thanks! This works great on my Samsung Galaxy A33 5G (SM-A336E) with Exynos 1280, except sending and receiving SMS. Any solutions?
