Hi,

I've flashed the last weekly, but I have this annoying issue that I can't solve. On the top of the setting menu, there are the usage tips, tipical of the first phase after a fresh install of the system.

I cannot find a way to disable those tips, even if I remove them every time, they come up again and again.

Is there any way to disable permanently? Maybe disabling the android package, but I can't identify which is the related package.

Thanks

As LOS14.1 is going to be built once a month, can someone make an OMS version of this ROM? It'll be great to customise with themes.

Quick charge discharge

Hi guys

I use the latest lineage 14.1 build. The battery charge is done well and fast. But the charge is quickly discharged!

Even if I do not use it:(
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] curiousrom:
Re: Quick Discharge

You did not describe your setup which makes if very difficult to troubleshoot. :rolleyes:

Fast charging & discharging could be the symptom of a fake battery. :(

Hi, I'm going to talk about my problem. I'm using the latest version rom. while watching videos on instagram, videos stop and cant watch. I'm looking for videos I'm going into the youtube app behind, but it's constantly turning when I want to watch it, so it's like searching on the internet. I can't watch any video until I start the phone again. Do you have such a problem?

16.0 Unofficial, Beta or Alpha?

Why not include the thread title? [ROM][UNOFFICIAL][9.0.0] LineageOS 16.0 [ALPHA][5.12.2018]

Of note the important Android safety feature SELinux Enforcing is not working & as of today in the post #1 of that thread (red & bold by him):

So I would say to play on a spare S3 yes but not usable safely as a daily driver. :eek:

***
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] BasilSkrnk:
I have a spare S3 which I use daily, but for few apps. I use the phone at night-time: Google Calendar, Trello, and super rarely Firefox Focus, Google Docs, Inbox, and few tiny utilities, all work slow, but okayish to use.

I would participate for beta tester here, but the fact it isn’t secure bothers me: should it? Or if I am not going to have any extra apps ever, that may be okay? In case the device wouldn’t work, I won’t care too much, but I would prefer it working. Having Pie on it would be great, if it can handle my few apps.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] kurtn:
The biggest issue is: any app can gain root. In that case I would only use apps from f-droid.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] BasilSkrnk:
So having few apps from Google and the developers that I trust won’t be an issue here?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] curiousrom:
Re: [UNOFFICIAL][9.0.0] LineageOS 16.0 [ALPHA]

It does not matter if it's only "...few apps from Google" or many because you have to login in your Google account to use them.

This [ROM][UNOFFICIAL][9.0.0] LineageOS 16.0 [ALPHA] firmware in it's current state is totally open to any attacks including by rogue websites or infected email attachments, etc.

It's not only that any app has access to root without asking for your permission it's also that the important SELinux security feature is not implemented at all.

See How dangerous is the fact that SELinux is in “Permissive” mode? on stackexchange for more info.

If your Google or other accounts are not important to you go ahead but I would never use it @ the present for real stuff.

It's up to you to decide what you want to do but nobody can say it's OK to use it except for playing around with spare dummy accounts.

Alpha is before Beta so expect crashes & multiple other problems. See Software release life cycle.

Hello guys, i just booted up my good old s3 , as i got a new battery as the old one died some months ago. As i've been away from this thread, i saw that we have monthly builds now, so i flashed the lasted one and everything looks good :victory: but i was wondering when will the next build come , will it be every 17th of each month ?

I also tried the new Oreo and Pie builds , and i must say i'm amazed s3 is still getting this much support !

Hey,

I'm currently using a old LineageOs versione with boeffla kernel. I want to know how i can update It, if i need to reinstall boeffla and if can cause problems. Thank you
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] itachi uchia:
In short:

Backup first your data.

Then just flash the latest LineageOS rom with TWRP Recovery.

After installation install Boeffla App and flash kernel.

Here you can find very good and more detailed instruction, written by curiousrom S3 Samsung Stock & LineageOS Clean Install
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] kurtn:
What's the point of installing a newer lineageOS version? One main improvement are the kernel security updates. But you loose them, if you flash over the same old custom kernel.

Hey guys, quick question: does it take you a second or two to open even simple apps like calendar, phone, messages, etc on your device? Because I've noticed that it takes way too long to simply call someone. I need to wait 2-3 seconds just to open contacts list. Is this normal or is my phone bloated and I need to do a reset? Any other tips? Or is a S3 just too old even for phonecalls?:confused:
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] kurtn:
I've a completely un-bloated S3. Not even GApps. If you clear recent apps it really takes a second to re-open. But if I only keep WhatsApp and phone, the RAM can hold these and open quickly.

Mobile Data Not working

Just installed LineageOS 14.1 on my Samsung galaxy S3 I9300 following instructions provided in LineageOs.org and rooted device, everything is fine but mobile data is not working. I have double cheched APN, wiped cache and Delvik cache and flashed I9300XXUGMK6 modem with no result, please help.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] curiousrom:
Try turning off the S3, wait 10 seconds & turn back on.

If you still don't have cellular network data try the SIM in an other phone as it may be a carrier provisioning problem.

If data works in an other phone but not with the SIM back in your S3 & you are 100% sure that your APN settings are correct try restoring the EFS partition as described here: EFS Partition Backup - No Service, No IMEI & No SIM Card Fix

Please report back if you fixed your problem or not. :cool:

Im facing with bug. When i install a new app, then if app request to use 'storage', and i grant acess in popup window, app doesnt recognize that. I must go in 'app info>permission>storage' and manualy grant acess there, even if check box is already turned ON. Then i turn it OFF and ON again. After that all works fine! But it's obiviously some bug, and should be fixed.

I dont know if this is known bug. But i remember that same bug existed in temasek rom. Something with permissions probably.

Should i contact developer about this, and how to do that?

Is there some workaround for this?

Thank you all..

Re: Granting Storage Permission Problem

I have been following this thread since November 2017, used this firmware for 10 months as a daily driver & nobody else reported a granting Storage permission problem so no it's not a LineageOS S3 i9300 Known Issues - Bugs & Workarounds.

I am running 100% stock Official Lineage 14.1 on the S3 i9300 (currently 2018-11-17) + Open Gapps ARM 7.1 Pico + Lineage ARM 14.1 super user add-on (addonsu-14.1-arm-signed.zip for root) with twrp-3.2.3-0-i9300 @ the present. No other system modification.

You did not describe your setup like if you installed Magisk + some modules, a custom kernel, Xposed or any other system modification.

What are the names of the apps you are having problem with & where did you get them from?

Maybe your external Micro SD card is old & could use a formatting which can be done with the stock Lineage Files explorer.

Check also S3 i9300 LineageOS Super Clean Install & Samsung Firmware which includes a description of Format Data which is different from a simple wipe data.

"Should i contact developer about this, and how to do that?" - The only way is to create a bug report as described in the post #1 of this thread > Reporting bugs & it must include a logcat.

If rooted you could install SysLog (screenshot), reboot, reproduce the problem, capture a logcat & search in it for the app you are having a problem to grant permission to.

If not rooted you can grant this permission after enabling Developer options > Android debugging (ADB) to enable the fast & easy to use SysLog using ADB 15 seconds ADB Installer & a computer:

adb devices

adb shell pm grant com.tortel.syslog android.permission.READ_LOGS

Did you modify the Data partition file system or installed some apps to the external sdcard?

***
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] mire777:
Thank you for answer. I didnt do any modifications to my system, except, i was install some apps after flashing. I am running Official Lineage 14.1 on the S3 i9300 (this - "lineage-14.1-20181117-nightly-i9300-signed.zip" and for root - "addonsu-14.1-arm-signed.zip"). Im using twrp 3.2. I didnt installed any Gaaps. I wiped all except usb micro card and otg. What should i else do? How do you mean that "Format Data in Lineage is different from a simple wipe data"?

I already tried to do clean install, and always when im installing some app im facing with this problem.

Yes my external card is old and has only 2GB, im using this card for backup. Maybe this is problem, but i dont trying to write onsd card at all, neither apps im using, i think. I will try to remove card and report what happen.

To reproduce my problem, you just have to install chrome (btw im facing with same problem right now in XDA aplication), then open some page and click "download image" or "save image", this is what happen to me. ---> (so when i grant permision from popup window, even if box for 'storage' after that is turned ON, i must manualy go to settings and turn that OFF - ON again to be able to download image).

[MENTION=6348607]mire777[/MENTION] maybe chrome without GApps is no good idea? Tried fennec from F-droid?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] curiousrom:
Re: Granting Storage Permission Problem

"...I didnt installed any Gaaps" - [MENTION=8031265]kurtn[/MENTION] has a good point: if you install apps (Chrome for example) downloaded from third-party sites like apkmirror that needs the Google framework to work properly then you will have some problems.

"...How do you mean that "Format Data in Lineage is different from a simple wipe data"? - That's not what I wrote in the post above: "Check also S3 i9300 LineageOS Super Clean Install & Samsung Firmware which includes a description of Format Data which is different from a simple wipe data."

That links to a post talking about Format Data in TWRP.

In that same post: "7- In TWRP > Install in this exact order and do not reboot in between: LineageOS then Open Gapps…".

Open Gapps ARM 7.1 Pico is the smallest package that also includes the basic Google framework + Play Store.

OR use only apps that do not require the Google framework.

"Im using twrp 3.2." - The most recent for the i9300 @ the present is TWRP 3.2.3-0. It's very easy to update TWRP by using TWRP itself because your current version is "TWRP 2.8.4 or higher": download twrp-3.2.3-0-i9300.img (.img NOT .img.tar which requieres Odin) from this page, copy to external sdcard, boot in TWRP > Install > Install Image > select twrp-3.2.3-0-i9300.img > Select Partition to Flash Image: Recovery > Swipe to confirm Flash > TWRP Home > Reboot: Recovery to check if TWRP was updated to 3.2.3-0. Screenshot.

"...my external card is old and has only 2GB" - Then it's very easy to backup it's content to computer, then Lineage's Files explorer > SDCARD1 > 3-dots > Storage settings > Format (NOT Format as internal).

If after doing all that you still have a Granting Storage Permission Problem: reboot, reproduce the problem, capture a logcat, attach it to a post after renaming it logcat.txt or a logcat.zip made with Syslog as described above & maybe I can find your problem in it.

***
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] mire777:
No its not the case, i downloaded Fennec browser from F-droid now, and again i cant download image until i go and manualy select 'storage"' in settings.

This happen with every app that require storage, not only chrome.

I didnt reboot untill i was flash all packages, first Lineage OS then Open Gapps. But im not using Gapps now, so i flashed only Lineage Os and then root zip. Maybe i should install Gapps too, i will reflash all packages in that order to see what happen..

Yes. Im using that..

No its not becuse of google, i tried many apps that dont require Gapps, amd same happen.. I even dont know why Rom should require Gapps for granting permisions, but i will flash Gapps to test..

So i can update recovery just by flashing new image directly from TWRP? I will do that.

Will try that... Also i will remove sdcard to see if that helps..

Ok.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] mire777:
Nothing helps. First I format sdcard, then manually pull card from phone. Same happen again. Then i updated TWRP to the latest, wipe data, cache, dalvik, internal.. (Only USB and OTG I leave) then installed Lineage OS , then Gapps, then root zip provided here, then reboot in system.. That is my order how I installed Rom.. Same happen again, I can't download image or anything until I grant permission manually by going to settings.

Here is LOG. I captured this with "take bug report" when I reproduced problem in chrome. SYSLOG is what you asked for , I take this after reproduced same problem in Fennec browser.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] curiousrom:
So I presume you did not Format Data as recommended above & explained in S3 i9300 LineageOS Super Clean Install & Samsung Firmware?

***
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] mire777:
Yes I am - dalvik, system, cache, data and internal at once, and then I do factory reset (which clears data).

Why I must go in opposite order?

You clear all by this proces. Not matter which order you use. After that you have nothing except recovery. Yes?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] curiousrom:
Format Data like in the screenshots attachment.

Where did you see any mention of a "factory reset" in the clean install post linked above? :eek:

***
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] mire777:
Yes my mistake, sorry. This time i formated data - typed "yes" then i was go back and clear dalvik, system, cache. Reboot into recovery and install OS and Gapps, root. Reboot into system.. All what you described there.. Nothing changes..

It seems that there's no help for me..

Same with other app -
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Mo3az_fathi11:

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] mire777:
Maybe you can try lux app from play store for light?

Do you have problem with permissions?

Apps crashing if ram is low, i dont use gapps at all, but if you must use pico gapps. I dont need location gps and navigation. Im using 'fake location' app. Instead play store i use 'apkpure' app, it has every app from playstore. And i dont use default launcher i use 'mini desktop' it uses only 10mb ram. Also u should replace keyboard becuse it stays in memory all time, i have keyboard that uses only 5-6mb of ram. Also go into settings>privacy guard, and check background apps, limit what you need and what you dont. I have 500 - 560 mb free ram, almost all time. But now this permission bothers me..

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] multiwirth:
I have had this bug aswell.

I´m not sure but in unoffical 15.1 i think it got fixed.

It´s an very old bug and I always had to restart the app so the permissions would take effect so no big deal.

Opening chrome, downloading, grant permission, error, close, open, downloading again, works.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] mire777:
Yes, after you restart app download works fine. Just annoying. But I think its android to blame on one side, they didn't implement well 'run time permission'. In android 8.1 this got fixed or just works better.

Unofficial 15.1 has other bugs I think, so I don't know should I install this yet.

Unofficial lineage 15.1,jan.5 build works very well i guess you won't face that bug
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] orgert:
i used 15.1 for some days , its FAST, and over all its quite good, but for me battery usage was to high, considering i don't even have a sim on this phone. there also was the wifi battery problem as on official 14.1, but on oreo you dont have an option to keep wifi on only when pluged in , so i came back on 14.1

But always its better to try a rom for yourself and see if you are happy with it :victory:
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Mo3az_fathi11:
15.1 works well even if it's beta thanks to developer so it worth trying because we don't know when the 14.1 next update will be released and we don't know if there will be an official lineage 15.1 for s3
