I flashes the latest build with elite boeffla... i noticed this very dim display when set to lowest... Is there any risk in using this brightness ? Because i think this will save a lot of battery if there is no risk.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] carlosmedina06:
The last build has random restarts right at the start, someone can help?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] ryanpatel122296:
any news on the hwc?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] zarere:
Can someone please advise if in the latest build lineage-14.1-20170705-nightly-i9300-signed.zip the android security updates are updated to July ones,thanks in advance.

No restarts for me.

Stable and fast For me, clean install
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] gabyzen:
i put the 20170628 release on my phone, everything is good, but youtube doesnt play any video, someone have this issue?

pd: clean install
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] LuciferIII:
YT working for me
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Ashley david:
Restart your phone it will be fixed.its due to hwc
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Tech0308:
Read the changlog, it's a new feature
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] ryanpatel122296:
is elite boeffla better or boeffla kernel? and whats the difference?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] LuciferIII:
Well it fixed it for me... Why did you remove it?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Option58:
Because it made it's way to official and will appear starting from the next build :)

Anyway here's my post:

-----------------------------------------------------------

Whatsapp video calls not working don't have anything to do with the HWC, it's the Camera HAL. HWC is a nice feature, but lots of issues you are attributing to HWC actually don't have anything to do with it at all.

I am developing for the Note 2, which is similar device to yours in many ways.

Anyway starting from the next build Whatsapp video calls should be fixed for you.

If you are impatient you can flash this as well.

Cheers:highfive:
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] ryanpatel122296:
what does this download do? does it improve performance? and when will it be implemented?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] LuciferIII:
This will fix whatsapp video calls, but it won't be needed anymore after the next weekly.

Either flash the next weekly or try the zip out.

This shouldn't improve performance.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Elton47:
So glad to hear more and more old issues getting fixed. Hope MTP, CamHAL and HWC are on their way to be fixed!

Great work devs!!
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Mirajoo7:
Glad to hear that what's app video call feature and camera HAL is being fixed,

:good: I was waiting for this for a long time, not only me........:)

We hope HWC will be fixed soon:)

Thanks for the developers

Feeling proud of the XDA developers

I have a question.

Does this fix will solve to the issue "cannot connect to camera"?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Option58:
Thank you all. No, I can't solve the issue 'cannot connect to camera'. Seems like it is going to stay...

Anyway, some new fixes to CameraHAL have made it's way to official LineageOS. This makes my fix already outdated.

So when a new build comes, just flash it without my fix.

For some reason, NFC doesn't work on my S3 with Lineage 14.1 (and hasn't worked in a long while).

I checked logcat, and the file /vendor/firmware/libpn544_fw.so was missing. Downloaded that from the internet, added it, shut off SELinux, tried again, and it gives me another error:

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] galen2:
NFC its working for me without download anything and without touch selinux.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Mirajoo7:
Do you using the official battery?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] zincholic:
Hi guys, I just want to give my appreciation to this wonderful ROM. Its smooth and the most of all is our beloved device rebirth. I don't know about you after using this ROM, but I have problem in grab driver application (I am a grab driver), its say that "GPS signal weak in this area". Of course this problem will impact my performance as a grab driver to get a client. I already try tighten up the screws in the back, and recommend solutions regarding to hardware fix. Earlier I use lineagos 11 and it all work great, especially with GPS in grab driver application. Is it software issue? ROM?..but I am sure its not hardware..thanks

*edit: i have found the solution. Just disable privacy guard on grab application and all work just fine.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Leseratte10:
I am using the official battery, I tested three different ones (none does work), and I tested my battery in another S3 with stock OS and NFC works on that S3 with my battery. So the battery is not the problem.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Mirajoo7:
Okayy
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] galen2:
If NFC works for us with this rom and not for you, then rom isnt the problem. Do a clean flash. For me works with official battery and with a replacement battery who have NFC chip.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] ralfbergs:
That's not necessarily correct. There can be scenarios where it works for some, but it doesn't for others...
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] aser_elhbayeb:
I copied the file in the zip to system/lib/hw but it told me that 'files appear to be the same' if so, how it is suppose to fix the issue at hand?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] minealex2244:
There is no libpn544_fw.so file needed in that folder. What are you seeing is just a namespace error (read the log completely). Also did you checked the other directories mentioned in the log? Did you disabled the SuperSU's "Mount namespace separation"?

For me NFC is working.

Check this files:

- in /system/lib: libnfc.so, libnfc_jni.so, libnfc_ndef.so

- /system/app/NFC (this folder should contain a .apk file and a symlink to libnfc_jni.so)

Tell us if you have them and check SuperSU. Try to flash the latest build again then flash root. The update package will patch the necessary files in system.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Option58:
That's a flashable zip and the code inside that file is different. But doesn't matter really. I'm not sure why I even posted that.

Just wait for a new LineageOS build this week and it'll be fine. :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] LuciferIII:
I always put my phone in airplane mode cause I don't really need to be called via network/sim.

Today i noticed that if i use my network,my phone can't wake up and i have to force restart it. (i also have cellular data on)

Anyone got the same issue?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] aser_elhbayeb:
Anyway, thanks for getting a long-lasting issue get fixed.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] multiwirth:
More battery drain.

I think the galaxy S3 is one of the devices which was always at 100% on stock.

HTC devices vibrates at 100% at startup logo so there shouldn´t be a hardware damage possible but i wouldn´t exceed 75-80 % since you don´t need it.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Rico_ET22:
Me. It's started happening since the 20170705 build. But anyway, the notification light still works even when freezed.

Maybe it's the beta Magisk issue?

Also, is this ROM supporting HCE (NFC host card emulation)? Because my banking app doesn't allow me to turn on NFC payments

and tech support said my phone must support HCE. Root doesn't matter, the app is root-friendly :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] LuciferIII:
I do have magisk,that's probably it. Good to know,i will look it up thx.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] galen2:
Why u use magisk if u cant hide root on our phone due to our kernel dont support how magisk work to hide it?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] sunny1234590:
Hello everybody! Well now that I'm buying the Redmi Note 4, it's time to say a goodbye to the amazing people that I have met on the S3 forums.

A very big thank you to [MENTION=5405215]forkbomb444[/MENTION] for keeping this device still alive.

P.S: Sorry for going off-topif. Sayonara now.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Leseratte10:
libpn544_fw.so seems to be needed for me. This is the log *after* adding the file, with the SELinux error. Without the file, it just says "Could not open /vendor/firmware/libpn544_fw.so" and stops.

The three files in /system/lib/ exist. The folder /system/app/Nfc (not NFC) contains a Nfc.apk and the file lib/arm/libnfc_jni.so

I don't use SuperSu, but the built-in root in LineageOS. An update to a newer version of Lineage didn't help.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] minealex2244:
So your system is clean. I don't know why something is interfering with NFC namespace. Do a nandroid backup then wipe data. If the problem is still there restore data. If it was fixed then you are done. You can try SuperSU to see if it helps.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Ashraf Iraqian:

Hi

please if you can Add OMS Support for Substratum theme engine like Crdroid ROM i really love to themeing my device all times.

and i want stay using Lineage OS always.

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] ryanpatel122296:
snapchat is extremely laggy, so is instagram....also the when i pull down on status bar it sometimes lags
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Option58:
Hi,

That's not my decision to make. I'm just maintaining my device, not the project in whole.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] ryanpatel122296:
what bugs are left in this rom and are there any fixes even temporary for them?also for the past couple of times iv done a clean install when i install my apps whatsapp would work for like 4 or 5 days then it just becomes unsuable when i try to open it it says mute it till restart or open again it wont even open my messages just opens a white page then crashes.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] minealex2244:
When did a banking app became root friendly? All payment apps (or almost) are checking SafetyNet before proceeding. Which is the evidence that the app is root friendly?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Rico_ET22:
My NFC payments app (PeoPay from Bank Pekao) works perfectly on my Galaxy Core Plus with pre-rooted LineageOS 11. It hasn't been checking SafetyNet yet.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] AlecSpence:
I'm inclined to agree. LOS was brilliant when I first installed it, but with each dirty flash (or just with time), it's become less and less responsive. I wiped it and re-flashed last week, and it's all rather usable again. The question is, is it time or dirty-flashing with each weekly that causes the slow-down?

This is possibly now academic for me, as today's GBP 135 Amazon Prime deal for the Moto G5 proved to be irresistable. Two other people in the family already have them, and I was already wondering why I struggle on with my old S3 - I suspect it will be very quickly forgotten. But kudos to the maintainers who've kept this old device up and running - I've spent nearly 4 years with Cyanogenmod and LineageOS rescuing me from the horrors that TouchWiz tried to inflict...
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] mohand06:
Agree. I'd advise those still using their beloved s3 as daily driver while on the other hand constantly complaining about los lags and this and that app or feature not working, to revert to Los 11, 4.4.4. It'seems just the best adapted rom for this device.

A plus: with Arise sound mod, they'll find a new very enjoyable usage for it, as an amazing music box.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] ryanpatel122296:
this is something that has been bugging me too is that the device lags around a week or two after clean flashing so is it time or dirty flashing causing this and i pretty much have everything disabled even the services and use greenify with free ram around 400-450mb so pretty much the rom is light and not using much resources.....and about the bug complaining see everyone would like to use the latest and greatest software on there phone and most of us want to help thats why im trying to point out some of the problems like the one stated in this post but to some people they feel that what i say is just complaining and not showing any appreciation. to the developer of this rom i am very thankful it is because of this rom i still use my s3 as my daily driver and i hope you continue your work in the future...thanks alot really.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Logan:
What's up!

Don't want to turn it into full OT chaos, it's me ibraheembo101 :P

CM 14.1 to LOS - no experimental

hello guys, haven't done much with my phone for a while, came here to see what is going on and i see that LineageOS is currently used. Wanted to flash it but i see i have to flash the experimental build first which is now gone. My question is, if i make a backup of my apps (most important for me is my banking app), with for example Titanium backup, will my banking app work after new installation of LOS and restore off my apps?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Noobkid77:
Yes it will work granted you flash the root file while flashing LOS and enable developer settings by tapping build number and enabling root from the menu titanium back up shall restore all your apps
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] mjelinic:
You mean i should first enable developer settings (which i already have) then somewhere in the menu enable root? and then do the backup of everything.

Then i should do a clean wipe dalvik and then flash the last nightly lineageOS, gapps and root?

After that i restore titanium and everything should work?

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] jackulus:
In my opinion it heavily depends on the application itself, its not just a matter of backup/ROM quality and/or functionality. I use a few and one of them must be registered from the scratch after a clean install. Others run flawlessly when restored from TB.

i9300, lineage os install

hi, my rooted s3 galaxy had cm-20150823-nightly. wanted to update but as it had TWRP 2.8.6.0, I was worried that something may go wrong in setting

lineage 14.1 .I tried search , google did not get help in finding ways to update- TWRP from 2.8.6.0 to latest or updating cayanogenmod 11, to 12, to 13 as no more support available and also no clear instruction how to go from cm-11 to lineageos , I tried the "flashify " to update TWRP to the 3.1.1.0 for i9300 S3 , and got stuck with downloading mode ,with green droid logo. as last resort I connected S3 to ODIN 3.07 and flashed the TWRP 3.1.1.0 . it worked , there after installed the lineage os ( experimental not available) latest for i9300, wiping caches-dalvik-art-system-data. in no time I had S3 working with new lineage os,( i did this to see if my s3 gets volte , as in in another mobile of coolpad note 3 lite , it gave me by updating , unofficial aosp MM roam ,(with a volte feature) from lolipop stock rom. ( lineage os enable root for adb only . if you want for application to work then you have to flash a special file to get app.and adb root access)

This is to those who may find TWRP updating on old handset -some help
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Noobkid77:
Yeah of course making sure you've backed up the apps from your previous rom before restoring on LOs all your steps are correct

---------- Post added at 04:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:58 PM ----------

Yes this would also apply if you haven't bought an app and you trying to restore it which won't work so I agree with your point not all apps restore

---------- Post added at 04:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:01 PM ----------

Next time to help you don't use an overly complicated process to update twrp simply download twrp manager it completely eliminates the need for flashing with a PC it's all done on the app which is called Twrp Manager

The last weekly fixed problem in camcorder video preview :good: but I noticed a problem using google camera's Panorama feature :(

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Problem fixed :) wiped data
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] galen2:
I have that problem with panorama and im using one old build, idk if was working any time on LOS 14.1 but was working fine on CM13.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Option58:
Yeah the build I was talking about is up. So flash that.

My whatsapp or miracast fixes aren't needed anymore for this ROM, as they're included. :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] galen2:
You fixed panorama and photo sphere problem? if i try it when i do first photo the file manager opens and give mtp force close. I flahsed last build and cleared google camera app data.

Camera not working

Hi there

Camera not working in viber and whatsup apps in video chat or video message
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] galen2:
Just tested and videocall on whatsapp is working, but i get scraping sound too :S
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Zainaljuboori:
I can see the other side of video call but they can't see me
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] galen2:
Just tested and both phones can see, flash last build.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] zarere:
Can you really confirm that using lineage-14.1-20170712-nightly-i9300-signed.zip whatsapp and viber video calls are working since I'm using LOS11 only because video calls were not possible in LOS14.1 ?

---------- Post added at 11:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:36 AM ----------

Also can someone confirm if device encryption is working in 14.1?4 weeks ago it wasn't working.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] galen2:
I can confirm whatsapp video calls are working, at least the video, i got crapy sounds at background but could be the 2 phones was together, idk, i get crapy background sounds too with bt calls. I didnt test viber because i dont have it installed.

about the sounds at background with videocalls and bt calls i use XXUGNA8 baseband, not XXUGMK6, but i have no problems on normal calls, no robotic sound. I would like to test with recomended baseband but install it with command line on twrp is complicated for me and i dont have a flashable zip.

About device encryption i think dont work, but i didnt test it time ago.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] LuciferIII:
I eaisly flashed the baseband via odin
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] galen2:
Will try to find one video tutorial
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] LuciferIII:
I will link you the you the md5 file and you just flash it via odin,simple.

I find it interesting and there might be a solution to this problem,but i am also interested because it has modules.

Video preview screen is fixed bt ,

While recording and if we tap the screen,it takes a photo capture if a separate button is placed for taking images while recording video will be fine,

Like stock camera app on 4.3

Also current video recorder's stop button have a bug. When try to stop the video the stop button is in accessible
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] galen2:
Thank you, i just flashed MK6 with odin and was fast and easy.

But... sound its ok on my phone but on the other phone there are robotic sharp background sounds, my voice sounds normal. Its weird, normal calls works ok but i got that background sounds on videocalls and bt calls on the other phone.

Anyone can confirm if same happen for you? and anyone can confirm if panoram/photo sphere are broken on google camera or only for me?

Thank you.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] LuciferIII:
I was bored and made an backup.

I checked out crdroid ROM and i must say that it is in fact an amazing one. It has lots of customizations,addons, and the cherry on top is the OMS support. But i won't use it cause for several personal reasons.(Don't wanna delete my data and start over again,and other stuf)

What i don't understand is why Lineage lacks customization compared to other ROMs.

I am not complaining tho, Cyanogen was my first and always my favorite ROM.

And i am looking forward to LineageOS 15
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] ryanpatel122296:

[MENTION=7496936]zarere[/MENTION], I had actual looked at that folder before your post and it was empty, so after your post I checked again and using ES File Manager, I listed all Zips on my device in size order. It is not there. So ~I assume that the automated updater unzips and installs it without keeping a copy of the Zip.

Thinking that this may be the case, I immediately created a new TWRP back-up, especially I had wiped the last build zip.
