    • Bluetooth PAN (Personal Area Networking) re-enabled for tethering.

    • Performance Boost: This ROM breathes new life into the aging Galaxy Tab 3. Stock KitKat was sluggish, but LineageOS 14.1 makes the tablet feel responsive again. Basic tasks (browsing, video streaming, e-reading) run smoothly without major stutter.
    • Modern Android Features: Having Nougat on a 2013 tablet is impressive. You get the modern notification shade, split-screen multitasking, and better Doze mode for battery savings.
    • Clean & Bloat-Free: No Samsung TouchWiz lag or pre-installed apps. Just pure, lightweight AOSP with Lineage’s useful tweaks (like privacy guard and status bar customization).
    • Stability (for an unofficial build): Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, audio, and GPS work reliably. I haven’t experienced random reboots or major app crashes in daily use.
