Nice you got it solved now!

Thanks for the suggestions. I always prefer to manually delete system apps the classic way, also adblocking the classic way as well!

I totally disagree with people claiming that free ram is wasted ram. You are right, man!

Thanks again!
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] ryanpatel122296:
could you suggest me some tweaks i should try for freeing up ram?i tried zram and swap but that just puts more strain on the cpu...do you know any other tweaks? also one of your tweaks enables jit and replaces aot runtime and i looked it up some people are saying its better some people are saying its worse can you tell me if enabling jit actually gave you an increase in performance and if so how much....

i think all of us should pull together and help the developer fix this rom up as best we can since android o is on the horizon i feel that this rom should be ahead of what its supposed to be no offence to the developer i am very grateful for all he is doing for our devices as well as spending his precious time making this rom and becuz i understand he might not have much time i think we should all pitch in so we all benefit...

does anyone know how far the hwc has come?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Elton47:
My suggestion is, at least, to stay with Stock kernel! Even though I am using Radioaxtive kernel, I didn't tweak it. JIT is wayyy newer and better compiler and executer / runtimer, I think many future projects, and modern ones, will use / use JIT.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] ryanpatel122296:
ok i see where your going, but i use boeffla cause the boeffla app lets me customize my values and more, and if im not mistaken aot is newer than jit as aot was the new runtime that came out in ART in android 4.4, and in nougat the updated it even more.....still gonna try jit but i wanted to know what value should i keep the heapsize right now my heap size is 64m
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Elton47:
Oh, I was always thinking AOT as the traditional compiler, for the reason that many people seem to prefer JIT, which targets the hardware directly when an execution occurs. But, since HWC is broken for i9300, I do not think JIT is a good idea, though, I am having a better performance using it. I have also been a boeffla user for 2 years, mostly for battery tweaks, but since LOS introduced Power Save mode under Settings -> Battery (not battery saver) some months ago on Nougat, I quit using it for the sake of hardware stabilty and some random shutdows I experienced.

how to restore efs?

---------- Post added at 05:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:55 AM ----------

can you guide me through this. how do i get it working. right now i'm on stock rom everything works fine
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] dana.marivani:
To EFS Make sure you have a backup and restore it If you have it, it will be very easy to solve

Yet the second way You're back to Android 4.3 once Surely the SIM card problem and everything is being solved all goes back

Then you are out of the program EFS professional Use Take Backup EFS Come in to our world

The third way is Find your desired baseband then install the appropriate modem

Of course I respect my friend for this experience. I hope you enjoy it
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] LuciferIII:
For the user who asked for a screenshot tile, there is an app at the play store that's called "Tiles" .

It has a screenshot tile.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] leonardalps:
ok, so i have to first flash the lineageos rom and set it up completely and then restore the EFS using the EFS professional program. Right?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] LuciferIII:
EFS backup can be done over twrp.

If you brake/lose EFS you can basically trow away your phone.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] dana.marivani:
Yes,First, go back to 4.3 then backup from Efs or with TWRP or EFS professional

Then install it in accordance with the order lineageos

If the SIM card was not supported, you did not have a serial number Use the backup
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] leonardalps:
first, i did try to restore efs with TWRP recovery but it didn't work. Anyway, i'll try it again with EFS professional program.

and is lineageOS stablr for daily use?

whenever i flash lineageOS rom it gives me an error saying that "MTP has stopped working" is it the same for you guys?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] LuciferIII:
Ignore that
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] dana.marivani:
If you rarely notice it, let us also ignore it

But if you get too soon, you need to have a clean flash
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Nyrus:
How much time does it take for it to boot? It's been quite a while it's on the blue line and the ball, never had a long boot as this. Or it doesn't show the "preparing app" screen?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Tech0308:
First boot or after update can take up to ten minutes for me
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Nyrus:
It's my first boot after getting off the CM13. If it shows the blue thing, it means it worked, right? I was out of the flashing business for a while now

But thanks for the reply, calmed my nerves a bit

EDIT: Yeah, it worked. Thanks again
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] LuciferIII:
Btw there is no "optimizing/preparing apps" since Nougat.

And i am not talking about visuals, the whole thing is gone.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] leonardalps:
ok, and is it stable enough for daily use?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Elton47:
If the phone does a quick vibrate during boot, then it indicates that the device will sucessfully boot a few seconds after the vibration.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] dana.marivani:
Yes, it is great I recommend to use

There are a few review issues that will be resolved over time

I personally thank the members of the forum Particular [MENTION=5405215]forkbomb444[/MENTION]
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] minealex2244:
Sure it is. No random reboots while using the stock LOS kernel. Everything is working except for some minor (and rarely major) issues which are involving audio and video (alias HwComposer bugs). You will notice this in camera app.

---------- Post added at 11:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:40 AM ----------

Is ForceDoze or any other Doze activator good for my battery?

After studying deep sleep I can clearly see that the answer is no. The same syncing points for no Doze forcer and for a Doze forcer. Free your RAM by uninstalling this kind of apps. Especially when your battery is really old.

What about hibernating apps?

It may give you some results but I won't guarantee you that. You need to be rooted in order to get a good quality hibernation but this will cost you RAM memory.

It is up to you what you will be doing in the future.

Is KSM worth it?

No, unless you are running another OS using the Android OS (emulation).

zRAM?

Yes but with cost of CPU... or battery life :)

Will Boeffla kernel help me to get battery life?

Only if you know how to completely decrease the performance of your device. Also here is another thing which it will give to you: no rights for bug reports (unless someone builds the LOS kernel with some improvements but will keep the stability).

Conclusion?

You can't get battery life from the system but from the kernel. Also if you want performance then you loose battery life or if you want battery life you loose performance. You can't have both.

Small tip: Enable extreme battery saver and disable auto rotation to get 2-3 more hours of battery life.

Problem z update

Witam, mam problem z update Lineagos 14 na i9300 na początku dało się zrobić aktualizację od pewnego czasu wyskakuje komunikat

"NIE WŁAŚCIWA SYGNATURA PLIKU" z rozszerzeniem .map TWRP jest najnowsze lecz dalej nie aktualizuje się telefon. Problem leży też że jak chcę na nowo postawić system to tak samo piszę " Nie właściwa sygnatura pliku". Co może być nie tak?

Hello, I have a problem with update Lineagos 14 on i9300 at first it was possible to do an update for some time pops up the message

"NOT FULL SIGNATURE FILE" with .map extension TWRP is the latest but still not updated phone. The problem is also that when I want to re-set the system is the same I write "Not the correct file signature". What could be wrong?

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Elton47:
Try flashing a previous date without gapps (to test it), or maybe a different Nougat ROM.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] leonardalps:
i just did a full swipe and flashed the rom again and it got fixed.

but still i get sim card not inserted error, how do i flash find the right baseband and flash it?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Elton47:
Nice you got it solved. Try to find I9300XXUGMK6 baseband (the one I use, it is stable, if not the best) and flash it. You may have to reflash the rom again after the baseband I think.

If you are using TWRP, flash the baseband zip just like flashing the ROM, as TWRP supports it, or you can use ODIN to flash via a computer.

You can download the .tar version provided by [MENTION=7496936]zarere[/MENTION] and flash with ODIN.

i still have the sim card not detected error even though the phone shows my imei no. and baseband. how to fix it?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] ryanpatel122296:
will this work on any s3i9300? mine is from india, thats why i was wondering and are there any benefits to using the basband if the baseband i already have is already working? after all the heavy tweaks it seems when im at a particular place the phone works fine but when im traveking or at a place with low reception the phone lags heavily.....also plz give me detailed info about this baseband as i still have no knowledge about basebands and how to flash them all i know is that they have to do with the cell antennaes.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Elton47:
There is absolutely no reason why to flash another baseband IF the existing one is working properly.

Edit: Every country's model (branching off International i9300) has it's corresponding baseband file.

---------- Post added at 06:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:43 PM ----------

Here is the link and the guide too. Make sure you select to download the right baseband based on your country from that list.

Good Luck man!
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] leonardalps:
Thanks man appreciate it, but i got another problem with the phone. i just found out that if a reboot the phone(lineageOS) is goes in a bootloop and then i have to do a clean install again for it to work. but after it booting up properly if i restart the phone it again goes in a bootloop. what do i do???

so now i shifted back to official rom and everything works fine. if anyone knows how to fix this please tell me .i really love lineageOS but due to the sim card not detected error i can't use it. I tried every possible way but no luck.

if someone would guide through this installation properly including how to fix the sim card error it would be help full.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Elton47:
You will not experience issues with the SIM Card if you:

1. Use Odin to flash latest TWRP Recovery.

2. Reboot in Recovery.

3. Wipe / Advanced Wipe: /data /cache /system /sdcard0 (Internal Memory).

4. Flash latest LineageOS ROM .zip file.

5. Flash latest GApps. (OpenGApps Pico, my recommendation).

6. Flash arm.su.signed.zip file to enable root (not required but useful, can be found under Extras at Downloads section of lineageos.org.

7. Wipe Dalvik Cache and Cache.

8. Reboot (1st takes 10 to 15 min, or more, based on your opengapps selection).

9. Go back to official LineageOS 14.1 for i9300 and reply about your issues (if any).

This way you ensure full compatibility of any SIM with any Nougat LOS or AOSP based ROM.

Best luck, man!!

Reply again if you solved or not.

Are there any issues with the latest version? I found no "not working" information in the first posts.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] minealex2244:
No issues since November. It is safe to install.

---------- Post added at 10:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:24 PM ----------

Formatting /data/media (internal memory) is such a useless thing! It won't make anything good, it's just a myth. Like saying that by formatting your SDCard you will fix a bootloop. Don't spread that information again, it's just placebo effect. :)

If you really want to do something useful to the phone by wiping or deleting something in data/media then you can delete /sdcard/Android/data/*.

---------- Post added at 10:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:29 PM ----------

To install LOS without PC and without any problems do this:

1. While being on stock ROM use Kingo app to root your phone.

2. Using official TWRP app, install latest TWRP for our device.

3. Do a full backup.

4. Flash latest LOS, GApps and if you want, SuperSU.

5. Enjoy. Please be careful with the apps you are installing as you may be messing around with the system.

...How old is your phone?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] leonardalps:
i still get the sim card error. and now it shows unknown baseband and unknown imei. on LOS how to fix that?.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] minealex2244:
It depends on the app. Some may still give you issues because our HwComposer is broken. I'm curious if it works if I pick latest unmerged commits.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] aPollO2k:
Ok. :( Maybe i find a working App. Are there any commits about HwComposer? Are the HAL related issues causaled due the exynos processor?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] minealex2244:
Exynos4 is old. It will have lots of bugs over time. Right now I'm picking latest commits regarding HwComposer.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Elton47:
Oh I will spread it everytime it is being asked. How can Internal Memory be such a Myth. "It will not make anything good" of course, it just stores all your app configs, music, images, viruses (if any), not that much, just these "little stuff". WITHOUT wiping sdcard0's data for the first time (it is called Full Clean Flash, in case you did not know), you will Not get a full functionality of the ROM, especially when coming from previous isses i.e.: bootloop.

Flashing systems without wiping sdcard0 CAN work, but it is not a fully clean flash. Wiping just /system and /data (not sd) doesn't mean you did a great job doing a "Clean Flash". It is just another dirty one, man.

So, please, do not come here ruining my experiences about memories, partitions and the overall linux system.

Here is the documentation from the officials of TWRP (Read carefully when they say: First Time, for the wipe):

https://twrp.me/faq/whattowipe.html

The last paragraph covers what you say, forcing people to not use the wipe internal option, while at the first paragraph, they say people Should wipe everything, including internal memory, which is very normal when doing a full wipe and a clean flash.

Thanks for reading all this.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] minealex2244:
I saw the first paragraph but they don't even mention anything about internal memory. The article only says that if you want to sell your phone you can wipe everything.

I never did any internal storage wipe and I didn't get any bootloop because of that! What are you saying is new... How I said: "Like saying that by wiping SDCard you will fix bootloops". It is a super simple thing to only make sure that there is no .android_secure folder in the root of the internal storage because that (and only that) may cause bootloops. That folder contains all the moved apps. But the rest of the internal storage can be untouched.

Don't get upset on me for just a little thing. Maybe you remember that bug with "sdcard not detected" in old CM and LOS days. It was fixed by simply deleting the .android_secure folder while in recovery. If you have that folder in the root of your internal storage you will end up in a bootloop but you can simply delete the folder. No need to wipe, backup and restore files, etc.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Elton47:
Deleting .android_secure hidden folder may be confusing for users to locate, wiping internal memory doesn't kill anything just simplifies things.

I always wipe internal memory when changing ROMs and never experiences issues other users did.

Edit: I never said that wiping the sdcard0 will fix the bootloop like magic lol
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] aPollO2k:
I don't understand why i should delete my whole filesystem, backup all my files. Create a new filesystem and restore my backuped files just for deleting one hidden folder. It's does not just waste a lot of time. It waste write cycles of the flash memory, too.

People who don't understand "delecte .android_secure from internal storage" maybe have to learn more about files and folders BEFORE they flash custom ROMs :confused:

Sorry but the sentence "I always wipe internal memory when changing ROMs" hurts my brain :silly: It's like demolish a whole house just for cleanup the kitchen.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Elton47:
Well wiping internal memory seems to be very bad for some reasons, but doing it really saved me a lot from issues I had in the past. Thanks for informing me that it is useless to do this kind of wipe.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] aPollO2k:
The only usage of this wipe is if you really want to delete ALL files and not just one folder. Maybe if you want to sell you phone. Or format the storage with another filesystem type eg. vom ext4 to f2fs.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] minealex2244:
I hope that it simplifies the things :) Some users (not my case) may have tons of important files to backup and then restore. Note: .android_secure is in the root of the internal sdcard.

By wiping internal memory you will get rid of the unwanted or useless files. My advice is to not use internal storage for moving apps.

---------- Post added at 09:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:44 PM ----------

There can be various things. You should monitor all running services to see which one is eating a lot of RAM memory. This can be done by simply going to Settings, Dev options and check the background running services. If you have useless apps (even system apps) uninstall them, don't freeze them. Clear cached data from Storage tab and use Kernel Adiutor to enable zRAM and set it to 400 MB. If you are using Boeffla make sure to not overclock your GPU as that may cause freezes, reboots and a lot of visual artefacts which lead to extreme lag in some cases. Also enable KSM (Kernel Samepage Merging).

The lag is caused by HwComposer.

When Android will completely move to 64-bit only devices like iOS we will be stuck. Any thoughts? :( Ports will be hard, devs will say No to this old device so I think everyone should prepare for the future. S6 is a good S3 alternative (and a cheap one). :)

no offense to you sir but the whole point of this forum is to support our old s3 devices, sure anyone can take the easy route and just get a new phone, but some people just cant let go of the s3. To them its still is one of the best phones and to say to get another fun just takes the fun out of modding this devices and maintaining it.....i still think that instead of complaining we shiuld all try our best to help the developer improve this rom it still has alot of potentional and there is no need to go 64bit and this and that this device is perfectly fine but in order for it to improve we need to start fixing the problems.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] minealex2244:
I totally agree with you :) S3 is still one of the most developed device (I mean the software made for it). The 64 bit days won't come really fast but our device will run the new Android versions really hard. If we find a very good battery and then we use a tuned Boeffla kernel (some improvements for stability after CPU and GPU overclock) then we will be able to use that versions until we get bored.

Android O has a lot of optimizations and battery backup with its reworked framework, it will not be a problem for this beast running it, since we used to run the heavy Marshmallow with XPosed, tons of modules and Nougat too, for Oreo it will be just fine.
