I've been using the unofficial 9.0 lineage rom for a few hours now and i'm amazed with the results... so far only the selfie camera did not work but everything else did... I even think it runs smoother than this one... I definitely recommend you check it out for yourself... it still in alpha so be careful, but I think our future lies there... https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/development/rom-lineageos-16-0-t3875899

(sorry for my english)

Hi there

This is the most stable version I've tested. For a few days now, I haven't had a problem with anything (which I can't tell about 15.1 and 16, which were a little unstable as I have described in the relevant topics, and forced me to go back to 14.1). Everything works great (I got rid of the famous minor issue with MTP-Host).

When it comes to performance, it sits between 16 (the fastest) and 15.1 (the slowest).

Battery drain is rather the same as I saw with 15.1 and 16, without any unnatural behavior (so far).

My setup #1:

- lineage-14.1-20190217-nightly-i9300-signed

- open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-20190425

- addonsu-14.1-arm-signed

My setup #2:

- lineage-14.1-20190407-UNOFFICIAL-i9300

- open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-20190425

- addonsu-14.1-arm-signed

Apps installed:

- open camera

- instagram

- swiftkey

- messenger lite

- notatnik

- txtpad

- google translate

- kate mobile

- traseo

I'm very pleased with this version.

It's a pity the official support is over.

"ERROR :7" when installing unofficial 14.1

Hi,

Thanks for the link to the latest unofficial release done by [MENTION=7346927]NZedPred[/MENTION].

But I have an issue on TWRP when trying of installing it : "Updater process ended with ERROR : 7"

I'm with TRWP 3.3.0-0.

Before installing I wiped Dalvik/ART cache, cache and system.

Could you help me ?

Regards.

TWRP Error 7 Installing LineageOS

Error 7 in TWRP is a generic error message. Check above it for possible error details.

After flashing in TWRP & before rebooting: go to > Backup > Select Storage to external Micro SD card then > Home > Advanced > Copy Log to external SD card then you can connect to a computer to copy it as MTP is enabled by default in TWRP. Rename it ...txt & you could attach it to a reply maybe?

BTW TWRP automatically copies it's last log in /cache/recovery/last_log.

Make sure the download is not corrupted. [MENTION=7346927]NZedPred[/MENTION] included a MD5 checksum in his download pages. With a hash checker utility calculate the MD5 of the downloaded file & compare to his MD5.

"...I wiped Dalvik/ART cache, cache and system... - Try a Format Data as described in S3 i9300 LineageOS Super Clean Install & Samsung Firmware.

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

Hi.

I''m about to test LineageOS 14.1 in my S3 i9300 international.

Can somebody who is using it now confirm that it doesn't suffer from GPS week rollover problem which started in last April with other ROMS ( I was using latest Android Revolutions ) ?

GPS recorder tracks points went to 1999, as 10bit week counter rolled back to zero after April 2019 and original software thinks it's the first rollover ( actually is the second )

Thanks.

I am affraid I got this in 14.1 - didn't know why since now... :/ My bike gps tracker gived me sometimes start time in 1999. :|

---------- Post added at 11:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:38 AM ----------

Hello all i9300 users...

What options we have now and which one is the best for us?

- latest official 14.1: lineage-14.1-20190217-nightly-i9300-signed (or maybe one of the earlier builds?)

- microG: lineage-14.1-20190302-microG-i9300 (will there be updates or it is impossible without original 14.1 development?)

- unofficial build by NZedPred: lineage-14.1-20190407-UNOFFICIAL-i9300 [MENTION=7346927]NZedPred[/MENTION]? Are you plan to do updates?)

or maybe

lineage-16.0-20190411-UNOFFICIAL-i9300 (isn't battery problems too serious?)

Maybe something else? What direction to go, or which most stable and final version to choose?

What are your opinions?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] kurtn:
For a new setup i would select unofficial 14.1. Due to lazieness I'll stay with microG. They could update, but their policy is to only build as long as official is built.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Kayakista:
Real problem is in GPS firmware, but as this firmware will never be update for this old phone, only fix is in software I guess. After getting data from GPS, patch week/date on the fly before giving data to applications.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] moovtome:
Hello!

Thanks for info... :/ Bad news. So it is impossible to fix it by using another ROM. Maybe GPS firmware is the same/similar in other device, and could be just copied/ported somehow? :/

Bike tracker I use is simple but superb (and open source [github] now - Cycledroid: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.maral.cycledroid&hl=en ) so maybe fix is possible, but unf. it is abandonware and I have no skill to even start thinking about improve it... ;)

As for ROM to choose. I plan to make very clean install. So I guess will choose unofficial build by [MENTION=7346927]NZedPred[/MENTION]: lineage-14.1-20190407-UNOFFICIAL-i9300

It is great and widely used ROM, so hope author is willing to cook (security) update some day? Would be really great!

Thank you NZedPred for your work!)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Kayakista:
Good to know, I'll take a look at that APP.

I'm using OruxMaps and then manually download tracks to different applications for analysis or uploading directly to strava. All my tracks after April 6th went bak to 1999 for this GPS problem in this old phone.

really hoping some sort of active developing ROM was able to patch this, otherwise I suppose It can be patched in each APP, but I don't think is easy or possible at all.

I suppose nobody cares.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] deentky:
I've been testing LOS 14.1 (several versions) LOS 15.1 (several versions), LOS 16 and RR v5.8.5. I'm sticking to the LOS 14.1, and to be precise: lineage-14.1-20190407-UNOFFICIAL-i9300. It runs great, fast and stable (I've only had one unnatural reboot in a few days). I only installed 9 apps (2 for social media, 2 for maps and sports activity, and the rest are just various utilities), I've disabled the start-up of some of them, and if I turn off synchronization and location for the night, enable "Do Not Disturb", while keeping WiFi and not changing the battery profile (balanced), the battery drain in a sleep mode is very good, only 4% during 8 hours (so theoretically it can last in a sleep mode for as long as 200h = 8 days) [I still have the original battery 2100mAh].

LOS 15.1 and Resurrection Remix v5.8.5 runs too slow for me, and LOS 16 is just unstable for now (broken camera and problems after boot up, but I'm looking forward to test upcoming releases, because LOS 16 runs fast as hell for me!).

FAQ - When's the next build going to be ready?

To those that are asking / wondering if I'll do new builds, yes I intend to do them still.

If you're wondering when the next one will be, one thing to do is to check the Lineage repos for the latest security string, e.g. go to https://www.lineageoslog.com/14.1 and look for a change such as "Bump Security String to 2019-04-05" (that's the latest one there at this point).

If you see that the security string has been applied (e.g. right now we're waiting for 2019-05-05 or possibly just 2019-05-01) then I will be able to do a new build with the latest security. I don't mind being tagged if you want to inform me that it's been updated. If you see that I've been tagged, just wait until I do the update - depending on how busy I am, it could take a couple of days.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Darth Bidder:
Does your build also have the latest fixes for LOS or is it just monthly security fixes?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] NZedPred:
It builds whatever goes into the lineage repos. Most of the time the only things that are going into them are the security patches and fixes for specific devices (which almost certainly means not the S3), hence why I use the security patches as the trigger to do a new build.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] kurtn:
Kernel sources are not part of the general lineageOS repos. They are device specific or shared by small groups of similar devices. Has someone applied kernel security patches for S3 since Simon left?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] curiousrom:
Re: Recent Patches in Unofficial LineageOS 14.1 for S3 i9300

As you can see in this LineageOS Gerrit search some devs are still working on 14.1 but not much. All the patches that are not specific to a specific device should be automatically included in your unofficial S3i9300 builds normally: branch:cm-14.1 status:merged

For example in recent commits: IRAN APNs, time zone (tzdata), Bump security string, some bt stuff (Bluetooth), etc.

One can see with this search that there is nothing recent specific to the S3 i9300: project:LineageOS/android_device_samsung_i9300

You can check also here: https://github.com/LineageOS/android_device_samsung_i9300

***

Err... I think the kernel is in the LineageOS repo.

This is a search for the kernel used in S3 i9300 LineageOS 14.1 (smdk4412) and it's been a long time since anybody worked on it: project:LineageOS/android_kernel_samsung_smdk4412 branch:cm-14.1 status:merged

.

You can see that forkbomb444 (Simon Shields) last contribution to the kernel was on May 25, 2017.

What interesting there is update for i9300...

Dated March 2nd: lineage-14.1-20190302-microG-i9300.zip

It was also pop-up updater info in Lineage about it.

Edited:

Agree - sorry for my fault. Thread is indeed about official LineageOS 14.1 for i9300, not its forks etc.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] curiousrom:
microG is Not Official LineageOS

microG requires signature spoofing & includes proprietary Google Play Services Framework and LineageOS does not support either of these things. This thread is about official LineageOS for S3 i9300.

The unofficial builds by [MENTION=7346927]NZedPred[/MENTION] linked in this thread are made from the unmodified LineageOS repo with nothing added contrary to microG.

From this microG GitHub Wiki page:

From this LineageOS Wiki - Google apps page:

In reply to this question in the LineageOS subreddit: What is Lineage's position on signature spoofing? jrizzoli, a Lineage Team Member replied:

To get more info, expand the second-to-last comment by Abhisek Devkota (Dec 10, 2017 15:18) in this LineageOS Gerrit - Add signature spoofing permission page.

***

There are users with all kind of knowledge levels & with different level of understanding of the English language so posting a direct download link to a modified LineageOS firmware without any info is not fair to them IMO.

If "people on this forum know what they are doing" was always true I could have saved myself hundreds of help replies. ;)

ROM still work 2019?

Hello,

Does this ROM (LineageOS 14.1) still work properly as of May 2019?

Thank you,
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] deentky:
I'm using the latest LOS14.1 (2019-05-18) for more than 10 days and it works without problems (but I use it only for the internet).

I use mainly social media apps: Instagram, Messenger Lite and Kate Mobile (VK). Also Google Drive, Google Maps, Google Translate, Cynax GPS Sports Tracker, DI.FM Radio, SoundCloud, Spotify, Open Camera and a couple of smaller apps.

Everything works great. Stable and fast, good battery performance (I have made some personal tweaks, but I didn't swap kernel), no problems with WiFi or camera, no overheating problems, no sudden reboots.

EDIT.

LOL. Just a moment ago I experienced the first problem with the camera, and I had to restart the phone.

As for overheating, I tested many different versions of LOS, and every time the phone was a little hotter than when I was using the original OS (android 4.3). But only with LOS 15.1 I had major problems with overheating.

Probably, the most difficult thing for the first time, is the ODIN + TWRP installation.

Just a little tip - if you see the "restart" (or "reset") message, just wait, don't restart/reset anything, sometimes it may take about 10-15 minutes before the process is completed!

Every time I install LOS, I use an external SD card, because I remove everything from the phone including the internal SD. And I recommend that.

The management of the TWRP itself is very, very simple. As soon as you install the LOS for the first time, you will remember the procedure forever.

I installed the rom on S3 i9300 and lg G3 d855. It works fine with current security patches and without bugs.

But I don't use any Google or other tracking accounts on the devices ;)

Additional to F-Droid they provide a "app store" which provide apps which are not available on F-Droid.

And so on , in my opinion they are in a realy good process for the future.

Hello everyone,

So i finally managed to build the rom with the help of [MENTION=7148817]GalaxyMaster_P[/MENTION] .

I used his scripts from here https://github.com/GalaxyMaster2/i9300_lineage

Everything was automated by the scripts , only thing i did was getting Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS ready for building .

I installed the rom and its amazingly good ( same as [MENTION=7148817]GalaxyMaster_P[/MENTION] builds , and the original from forkbomb444) and latest July 5, 2019 security patch . i have been using this rom for more than a year , since the first time forkbomb released this rom , and i must say its a lot better than the official build, but don't trust me on that , you go ahead and try the rom yourself.

This rom has partially working HWC only in portrait mode.

Thank you again for your work and for being available helping me all this days ! all thanks should go to you [MENTION=7148817]GalaxyMaster_P[/MENTION]
