Hi guys and [MENTION=4613083]rodman01[/MENTION]!

Aicp 20170916 on board with stratonz boeffla, magisk v14 and nano open gapps, and wow this is crazy. Had PacRom for awhile and that was marvelous also but oh boy, you rodman01 rock. You've saved many euros for me by supporting this device. Thank you! And my son thanks also!

Which modem to use

Hello guys,

I tried all of the modems mentioned here but i still can't get the SIM card working. My S3 I9305 was originally on Optus network and I even tried to use the modem from kitkat stock rom, but still the same.

Any idea?

Hello all,

Massive thanks to [MENTION=4613083]rodman01[/MENTION] for giving us so much choice and keeping our 5 year old device alive.

Been on MM for a while until Xposed was sorted for N. Just a few questions as it may be an N thing. I did all the flashing yesterday so all files are of the latest available.

I installed latest version of this rom (after complete wipes, even internal and ext cards) then straight away installed open gapps nano, let device boot.

Q 1 - I didn't see 'android is upgrading' or 'android is starting apps' pops during the initial boot, is this a problem? or has it been done away with because of the changes in N?

Q 2 - I didn't get a setupwizard upon initial boot either. Is this a problem?

Cheers in advance.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] rodman01:
Ref to Q1:

its normal since android N, that you cannot see it anymore. Its not visible anymore.

Ref to Q2:

usually, and especially after a clean and new installation, the setup wizard should appear.

A problem is this not really, you can make all settings also without wizard. Beside the google app backup restore. For that I haven't found a possibility without wizard.

Changed my wife's i9305 from RR-N-v5.8.5-final to this aicp_i9305_n-12.1-rodman01-20170916. Rest of her system configuration remained unchanged i.e. flashed Magisk v14, boeffla-kernel-6.1-beta3-boeffla-stratonz_beta8-i9305.recovery, microG (powered by NanoMod-microG-14.7.20171115), rovo89's xposed-v88.2-sdk25-arm and all applications she had on her device before.

AICP v12.1 is very smoothly running, no reboots for at least now two days, working well with the mentioned Boeffla kernel, remarkably well customisable (like RR). For my wife, AICP is now the daily driver on her device; I personally still tend to use RR-M-v5.7.4-Sammy but to be honest if I was to move to Nougat I could decide to use RR or AICP.

Extremely well done job by [MENTION=4613083]rodman01[/MENTION]. As so often, thanks very much!:good:

I installed ROM and everything works except that it doesn't recognize sim-card. I tried to replace efs folder with working efs files from the previous ROM (stock), but still would not recognize.

I solved similar problem ( no sim and wifi) by flashing a modem drivers. It was a bit of lucky guessing to find right version but it worked.

This is the place where you can find modem drivers:

But TAKE CARE : the latest TWRP does not work to flash the ROM (mapping error, flash aborded), use twrp-3.0.2-1-i9305 and not a newer one.

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Oswald Boelcke:
Thanks for the heads-up regarding the issue and the information that TWRP-3.2.1-1-i9305 was just recently released on twrp.me. Since TWRP-3.0.2-1 was released, I'm using this version, and I actually don't recognise why to change a perfectly running horse that provides all capabilities I require by a custom recovery.

Even if the linked TWRP version carries an "i9305" in its file name, on AFH it's stated that this TWRP is supposed to support the Samsung Galaxy Note 2. Personally, I'd refrain from flashing such a file on my Galaxy S3 LTE (i9305). And checking Option58's AFH profile, I don't find the i9305 among the supported devices.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] stek-kravari:
[MENTION=4315222]Option58[/MENTION] is developer for Samsung Galaxy Note 2, thats why is stated on the page. TWRP works without any problems. Im using it on my i9305
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Option58:
If you flash rom or recovery that's labeled as i9305 it is for your device and you can flash it.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Trilogit:
Ok. Solved this by doing a complete data wipe and data formatting in recovery, then added .zip through recovery mounting and installed it. Everything works great now and SIM is recognized immediately. I'm using TWRP.

Do at your own risk

Great ROM!
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Trilogit:
Seems that I didn't solve this afterall... Succesfully managed to flash and get data with two phones, but after I tested different methods of flashing from stock ROM on the other phone, I couldn't get this working.

On Stock everything works, but after flashing Baseband becomes unknown, SIM-card not recognized and IMEI goes blank etc. EFS folder seems to be intact and even restoring a backup made with TWRP on the working stock doesn't work. Also tried flashing a modem from the latest Stock firmware.

I'm totally confused what is happening here. It was so easy to get it working earlier, but when flashing everthing exactly like eariler results above mentioned problems.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Everything still working good on my daily driver and loving it!

EDIT: Maybe do a backup on my daily driver, replace it with correct EFS and restore it with TWRP on the phone which doesn't work?

i think kernel module for gps somehow does not see the device. And i mean chip on the motherboard.

I have gps.default module on my phone. It works on 10.0, but doesn`t on 11.0. In other cm-based roms too.

Thermskin wrote in his thread, that he didn`t have full device tree to build 6.0 roms. Maybe that is it.

There is no gps driver for i9305 gps chip. Does someone know what chip was used in our phones?

AFAIK it's not possible to enter service mode without a Sammy stock based ROM.

Go, read and follow the procedure of the thread by [MENTION=5784234]MaHo_66[/MENTION],

HERE

The whole GPS fix procedure is the following:

1. Do a Nandroid Backup of your current AICP ROM

2. Download and flash a Sammy 4.4.4 stock ROM (from Maho_66 or other ones)

3. Follow the instruction of the GPS fix by MaHo_66

4. Restore your AICP ROM Nadroid Backup

It you are not sure of what you are doing, be careful or just don't do it. :)

Good luck!

So I did not try to flash a ROM 4.4.4 stock ... since I do not understand why the GPS works perfectly with 5.1.1 and lower (found satelites) but not under 6.01 ...

My I9305 has not lost the IMEI or GPS NV since all is well with lower 6 on android?

:eek:
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] paradroid28:
I got GPS working ...

... by making TWRP backup of 6.01, restoring 5.01 (working GPS) and afterwards restoring 6.01 without 'efs' partition. You could also get away with resorint the 'efs' partition only.

Give it a try

There is no "best ROM", it depends on your taste and the way you use your phone. You have to test yourself and make your own opinion :)

It could depends on your location but I would recommand I9305XXUFOI1 (a link of flashable zip here) if you have international version of i9305. If you flash this one, make sure you can flash your previous one if you don't like it.

Nice work rodman01! :good:

Just been testing the latest build and seems to be pretty stable! :D Battery life feels to be good too and the phone performs well.

Just few bugs I noted:

- Call disconnect button does not work well. To get around this, I use the 'disconnect call using power button' -setting.

- I can't copy neither paste text in most apps. When selecting text the bar showing the options doesn't show up at all and the text gets immediately deselected. Only in some apps copy and paste works like Google docs, Google Chrome..

- Somehow AdAway does not work. It fails to copy the hosts file. Haven't tried to manually write to/overwrite the hosts file.

I hope the copy/paste bug gets soon fixed! :)

EDIT: The copy paste bug is present almost everywhere. Some examples: WhatsApp, Settings, Colornote, Telegram, Dialer..

EDIT2: Even though AdAway doesn't work, I could copy the hosts file manually. I did this by first changing the route of hosts file in AdAway to sdcard and selecting 'no' to creating a symlink. Then I navigated to the sdcard and copied the hosts file created by AdAway to the root dir of the phone and overwrited the hosts (I recommend backing up the original hosts file first.) Works like a charm!
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Trafalgar Square:
Hello users,

go into settings applications and enable storage permission for AdAway. I tried AdAway on an official supported device and it is working for me.

But maybe this issue will be addressed with the next update.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Application:
Could not still get AdAway to work even with the permission. Ensured also that app has Su-rights.

But there was also one weird bug/annoyance. I don't know if that is a rom specific bug. My 64GB Samsung Sdcard is named strangely "M-`M-0^V3^N^S+^K^G^C^X" (see screenshot attachments) and the mount point name for the sdcard is not anything like sdcard1 nor external_sd etc, but instead is "DFD5-1A0E". The sdcard is still working and not corrupted. Some apps just cannot access properly to the sdcard (for example Spotify premium cannot find offline files from the card so I have to download them again to use them) and copying some files from internal storage to sdcard does not work. (strangely enough, moving zip files or trying to directly download zip files to sdcard corrupts the zip file) I don't know if it matters but I reformatted the sdcard previously using the Vrtoxin rom. Haven't tried to format using current rom.

Found some people with similar problems around the Internet with no fix.

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Oswald Boelcke:
Hi, just FYI.

When I migrated to Resurrection Remix v5.6.7 a few weeks ago, I not only did a factory reset but formatted my 32G external SD via TWRP 3.0.2.

Since I'm on RR, the external SD doesn't anylonger appear in the directory as external_sd or sdcard1 but as A3AD-1919 and is only accessible via "storage" (see screenshots). However, I (and none of my apps) have any problems to use this SD card. Copy-paste, doesn't matter from where to where, all works. I don't use Spotify but apps like maps.me or SD Maid Pro use the SD as storage location (see snips). And as you see, I can also access the SD from my laptop via MPE (and am able to manipulate the content of the SD).

As said, I formated with TWRP but don't know how the system came up with the new name or why it isn't appearing directly in the system directory anylonger.
