Ok, it's old twrp, maybe time to update to latest. Sorry, just broke the old tab s3 wifi to use as a media streamer. I did wipe system, and wipe data. It flashed fine. I will try latest twrp, and try pico. Thanks

Bluetooth should work out of the box. Can you turn on the Bluetooth toggle? Or, you can't use it at all?

Do you mean that the tablet doesn't find anything? It's strange.
Can you send me logcat including the specific progress, turn off BT -> turn on BT -> find nearby BT devices?

Ah, then did you install my TWRP? This one: [RECOVERY][UNOFFICIAL][SM-T820][SM-T825][2021-11-30] TWRP 3.6.0_9.0 for Galaxy Tab S3 | XDA Forums (xda-developers.com)

I think you can try,
1. Install the latest TWRP, linked above.
2. Format again.
3. Wipe system, Dalvik cache, cache, data, and internal storage partitions.
4. Install this LOS 18.1 again.

Showing that message is normal for unlocked Samsung devices.
Then for the last try, I think you can check the Bluetooth working with the stock ROM. If it doesn't work, maybe your hardware has been corrupted.

Feedback on the new version of may 2022 android 11
1- I dirty flashed it on the previous firmware, and everything was good, it took a while to boot the first time but it's smooth and working perfectly, thank you so much for the improvement.
2- I let it work without any modification to the governor to check if the restart problem that I had with the previous one is gone (while the tablet is idle for about 3 to 5 minutes it restarts by itself and keeps restarting till it freezes and consumes all of the battery. Which I fixed in the past by changing the big clusters to interval governor). Unfortunately the issue remained and I had to edit the governor again.
3- I flashed "nikgapps basics" also and it's working perfectly with the device so thank you for the advice.
Overall you are making a tremendous work and we really are so appreciative of your efforts dean @Awesometic

    # LineageOS

    LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 11, which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.

    LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts. LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.

    All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit out Gerrit Code Review. You can also view the Changelog for a full list of changes & features.

    5. Enter TWRP recovery.
      • The first boot to TWRP might be very slow because of the unmatched file systems.

    • The side button on S-Pen is working but you must use the proper application that can handle the button event
    • Fast-charging won't work properly, it sometimes works but most of the time it won't
    • Sometimes turning on the flashlight via the quick panel doesn't work after using a camera app
    • Using a camera app may cause reducing the UI performance on a launcher app

    Hi all,

    Finally, I can take a picture with my Tab S3 :)

    But still, there are some annoying bugs about the picture resolution, a flashlight behavior, ... but yeah it is usable when I take something using slightly lower resolution without the flashlight.

    Also, for now, both the LOS camera app and Snap camera are not working well while Open Camera and Google Camera seem to be working well.

    For now, the major problem is that if I use a flashlight in the camera app at least once, the overall GUI animations slow down even I closed the camera app.

    So, when I publish the camera fixed version, at least I will fix this most bothering thing even though I can't fix it all for the camera.

    Hello all.

    I uploaded the new version, including fixing the power-off mode charging.
    I'm using the LPM binary that is from Samsung for the power-off mode charging. When you plug in the charging cable while the tablet turns off, you can see the original charging screen you might see in the stock firmware. :)

    And I tried to fix the Bluetooth inputs and the OTG drives issues but I couldn't. I can reproduce these problems but I cannot find how to fix them for now. But I can confirm that the wired input devices are working such as a keyboard and a Playstation 4 controller.

    Please check out the first post of this thread. :)

    Great news here. The next release will include the fully-working quad-speakers. :D
    And I also have implemented the audio rotation codes for the screen rotation.

    Actually, I already have used it for about 3 days, and I think it looks working flawlessly.
    And, for the alternatives of the Dolby Atmos, I have tested with the Dolby Digital Plus module with Magisk and I can say that it is awesome. :cool:

    The new release will be uploaded before this weekend. :)
