We won't get a working HWC till Oreo release, so don't hype yourself up. Simon is working on upgrading linux kernel to 4.xx and working on LOS15.1.

Hopefully we'll see a fully working Oreo release of our device by the end of the year.

I'm getting heavy lag... Need to wait some minutes after boot for the phone to even unlock. Is this normal for this device? I did a full wipe and all, running the latest build and using gapps stock. Also noticed that it runs faster when WiFi is off.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] darkdude18:
I'm experiencing a weird issue with 14.1 on I9300. After every normal soft reboot I lose some settings:

- SwiftKey keyboard turns off and I need to enable it manulally in Virtual Keyboards

- Tasker loses information about AutoTools being installed and I have to re-instal the plugin every time.

The only non standard part in my system is a complete lack of google (so no Play Store), I install my apps from SD. Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] curiousrom:
Heavy Lag, Experimental LOS & Oreo ETA

"Need to wait some minutes after boot..." - The S3 was never a fast booting device but it also depends on what you did before restarting the phone, how many apps you installed on it that are enabled on Boot, how much stuff you have on your external SD card (and it's size & speed class) & several other factors.

"...and using gapps stock.." - If you installed the Open Gapps Stock variant well it contains way too much cr@p for the S3 i9300 with it's limited 827 MB available RAM. See Open Gapps Package Comparison (Variant). I prefer the smaller Pico or Nano variants as you can always download extra apps in Play Store if you really need them.

"... it runs faster when WiFi is off..." - That's probably because you have a lot of apps syncing or calling home or checking for updates in the background (like Play Store > Settings). See S3 LineageOS Battery Drain Troubleshooting & Optimization (especially the Privacy Guard tips).

"I did a full wipe and all..." - That does not say what you did exactly. See LineageOS Super Clean Install.

Experimental LineageOS for i9300

"Sent from my Mi A1..." - I don't have a A1 phone or an other one so I may play with the S3 as an extra device. :( The S3 i9300 is my daily driver & I have zero problems (except for the known bugs & workarounds) in the 5 months I have been running stock Official LineageOS 14.1 (updated almost every week via the built-in Lineage Updater) + Open Gaps Nano + Lineage su add-on (super user) so I don't feel the need to play with other firmwares or kernels.

Besides I like to keep it stock to be able to test & post in this thread.

When I said out-of-date I meant the last Experimental version made by the i9300 LineageOS maintainer forkbomb444.

I always read the first page & the last 2-3 ones when checking a thread & before posting a link to it so I did see GalaxyMaster_P's efforts to tweak forkbomb444's Experimental build & I also noticed some crashing & battery problems reports like in this page for example: https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/orig-development/experimental-lineageos-14-1-i9300-t3696500/page23

I have yet to see some benchmarks or BetterBatteryStats dumps comparing them to the current Official one.

*****

Oreo for S3 ETA?

What kind of firmware are you running on your crystal ball because mine does not show any Oreo for S3 ETA date? ;)

Meanwhile Bunch of Links: S3 i9300 LineageOS, Developer & Oreo Project was updated recently with a couple of links.

Thanks :good:. No, I just like to keep old things humming & optimized. :)

Hey guys, I have a problem with Shazam app. If I open the app, it close immediately.

I am using latest microG 20180419 build. I tried also custom kernels like hybrid and boeffla, but its the same.

Reinstalling the app didnt help aswell.

Any tips?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] curiousrom:
Search: android app closing immediately

Or install a different version. You did not say where you got that app from & if it's legit or not. ;)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] itachi uchia:
The app is from yalp store.

Could you install this app too [MENTION=4122877]curiousrom[/MENTION], to see if it works for you? Maybe it is LineageOS related issue.

Shazam App Crashing & Logcat Troubleshooting

Shazam works fine for me. Downloaded from Play Store, S3 i9300 running LineageOS 14.1 updated to 2018-04-19 + Open Gaps Nano + Lineage su add-on, no custom kernel. Screenshots:

Rock Lobster!

[YOUTUBE]2VCCiY17hKw[/YOUTUBE]

Then > Settings > Apps > Shazam > Storage > Clear Data > back > Uninstall.

I happened to have Yalp Store installed so I downloaded Shazam with it, installed & it works fine with the same result as the screen captures above while listening to that awesome video: Rock Lobster! :cool:

You could try to troubleshoot using the free MatLog: Material Logcat Reader > Settings > Clear > File > Record > start your crashing Shazam > then Stop MatLog > Send > Send Log as attachment (File > Save as works too). You can rename that file Logcat_Shazam_Crashing.txt & open it on a PC with WordPad for example.

You could attach that .txt to a reply but I'm not sure I could help because of your non-stock install & kernel.

MatLog is good too for checking how well your setup is working with > Settings > Clear > Log Level > Error. I do get some minor recurring errors as shown in this screenshot but nothing major. Logcat Extreme works great too for filtering Logcat & offers many other features.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] itachi uchia:
I did a logcat and filtered for shazam, see below.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] curiousrom:
Re: Shazam Crashing & Logcat

Filtering w/ Shazam is not the same as recording everything that happened when the crash occurred as I described above.

The time stamps in your doc goes from 23:23:25 to 23:42:50 and there is no --------- beginning of crash which would normally be included.

For example I disabled the Google app (Quick Search Box) but was getting a popup Google has stopped from time to time.

The lines above the --------- beginning of crash tells me that the problem is initiated by the BackupManagerService so the solution was to uninstall the Google app & reboot so it would not be looking for it anymore:

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] itachi uchia:
Thank you very much! Installing an older version solved my problem.

I uninstalled Shazam, but could not install it again. Then I saw in SDmaid that Shazam was not completely removed (around 60 Mbs of data files).

After clean uninstall with Sdmaid, it works)))

hey i got a big problem! after dirtyflash to newest Lineage update my S3 won't accept my SIM card!

First it would'nt accept pin -> after puk and new pin, and restarts it don't show SIM at all...

i have to work, what should i do, need fast fix :(

i used boeffla kernel + magisk

thx
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Kippy51:
Reinstall the EFS part of your nandroid backup .. If you have none, maybe you should start doing that!

Try advanced wipe, wipe cache, dalvik and system and re-flash ROM and gapps.

If that doesn't work you can only try clean install or even go back to stock and start over.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] curiousrom:
Data Left Behind & No SIM

That's why I made an habit of always doing like I described above in the Shazam testing post when uninstalling an app: > Settings > Apps > Shazam > Storage > Clear Data > back > Uninstall.

Maybe you had some corrupted app data or it was incompatible with an older version. Did you try to update the Shazam app via Yalp Store if you don't use Play Store?

Glad you fixed the problem & Thanks :good: for reporting back how you did it. :cool:

***

No SIM - No Service

"...after dirtyflash to newest Lineage update..." - Did you update Lineage or install it coming from an other firmware (ROM)?

"...First it would'nt accept pin" - Disabling the SIM PIN (Settings > Security > SIM card lock > Setup SIM card lock) & the phone's Screen Lock before updating is a good thing IMO.

"...and restarts it don't show SIM at all..." - If you did a soft Restart try instead turning off the phone, remove the battery, press Power button 10 second to remove residual electricity, put back the battery & turn on the phone.

"...i used boeffla kernel + magisk.." - That is a recipe from some freezing & phone crashing as reported by several users in this thread. If you must use a custom kernel try one of these: Koffee Kernel i9300 or Hybrid Kernel i9300 in combo with Magisk on LineageOS 14.1 for i9300.

To fix No SIM, No Network error see S3 How to do a very important EFS Partition Backup - No Service Fix (by restoring the EFS partition from a backup) and Samsung stock firmware & LineageOS Super Clean Install if you don't have a EFS Partition of full Nandroid backup.

Please report back if you fixed your problem or not & good luck! :cool:

it was just the usual weekly update of lineage...tried everything restarts, removing battery & sim nothing helped...i used newest boefflakernel but my backup (end of march) runs on koffeekernel..

now it says no sim, all the time! :crying:

-> had a nandroid backup efs inclusive -> twrp hang @ first restore attempt i think because efs

-> restart and restored nandroid backup without efs

-> old backed up system (with koffeekernel+magisk) but no sim & no wifi

-> restored efs only, worked

-> old system with working wifi but still NO SIM :(

...now i would update apps, then dirty flash to last working lineageupdate 20180410, and just try efs restoring again...thx for fast help!
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] curiousrom:
No SIM & Backups

Well you tried a bunch of stuff & it did not work so try installing Stock Samsung firmware & do a EFS backup while still in it as described here: Samsung stock firmware & LineageOS Super Clean Install

If it fixes the SIM problem then remove the SIM's PIN & you could try restoring one of your backups except the EFS Partition but nothing beats a clean install to avoid future problems IMO.

Since the latest update I can't open Gboard, Play Store, Chrome, and many default other apps. Some apps are also double in my drawer now. Any idea what happened?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] curiousrom:
Re: Can't open Gboard, Play Store, Chrome after LineageOS Update

Gboard, Play Store & Chrome are not LineageOS 14.1 default apps and are not included in the install package.

"..the latest update" will mean nothing in a couple of days. ;) Could you be more precise please & say what build version (date) you updated exactly, with which build & how? Did you wipe anything in TWRP? Did you updated Open Gapps too? Was it with the same variant (which one) & how?

Are you using a custom kernel and/or a super user different from the Lineage su addon?

Famous proverb: Provide more troubleshooting info and get better & more relevant suggestions maybe. ;)

On my S3 i9300 running LineageOS 14.1 I updated stock build 2018-04-10 to 2018-04-19 using the awesome built-in Lineage Updater (Settings > About phone > LineageOS updates - attachments) without updating Open Gaps Nano (2018-03-01 currently on my S3) nor Lineage su add-on & everything works fine including Gboard, Maps & Chrome which I installed from Play Store as they are not included in Open Gapps Nano. See Open Gapps Package Comparison (Variant).

You could try updating either manually or with the Open Gapps app your Open Gapps if you installed it (same variant!) as it may fix Play Store & other stuff. This page includes a direct Open Gapps app .apk download link & a Play Store one too: http://opengapps.org/app/

This page could be helpful: https://github.com/opengapps/opengapps/wiki/FAQ

You could also try Settings -> Storage -> Internal shared storage -> Cached Data -> Clear cached data & do a hard restart.

Or reboot in TWRP Recovery > wipe Dalvik / ART Cache and cache & reboot. Note that it will not clear the cache of each individual system & user apps like the suggestion above.

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

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Bose321:
I'm not saying it's part of the ROM.

I'm running the April 19th update as well. Been running the ROM for a long time and always update via the built-in updater.

The point is just that I got this problem after updating the ROM, I didn't use it for weeks for anything else, so that's all I can think of. Rebooting does not help.

I'll try update gapps to see if that helps.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] curiousrom:
Maybe you did not see the edit in my post above:

Edit:I saw it wrong my bad.It is really suprising me because I can't get these results in any way.Even using it without Gapps because leaving on mobile data causes phone to not sleep also in every way it uses more ram and system source.Maybe it can be a hardware issue but it isn't because I also flashed it to my other S3 and same thing happening again.Only thing I noticed your Wi-Fi is not ON.Maybe that's the cause.If I remember right there was a Wi-Fi drain problem in LOS.

In CRDroid, there is a option to put battery info on lock screen when charging, and temp was always 30.0C, and i just checked with cpu-z, its same. But in Boeffla config app, it's showing 27.3C, so cpuz and apps like it are probably reading from wrong place.

Lineage Battery Life & BetterBatteryStats

"... leaving on mobile data causes phone to not sleep also in every way it uses more ram and system source..." - Yes downloading 100 MB via cellular data will consume more battery than via Wifi but lineage disables cell data when Wifi is enabled as mentioned in the Battery Optimization post.

I don't see any battery drain when in cell Data or Wifi if the signal is good & no data is uploaded/downloaded. From that post:

8- Settings > Wireless & networks > Data usage > Data saver (Off or On or) > Unrestricted data access (long press). To choose which individual apps you deny or give permission to full cellular data access all the time.

In that same > Data usage panel > Wi-Fi > Wi-Fi data usage > long press on individual apps for more data choices including Wi-Fi data.

I use Network Connections Pro or Connection List Free to check which app or service is connecting to the net but don't use them when making a BBS dump as it will prevent sleep. Screenshot made just after enabling Sync which I toggle via Tiles once in a while instead of having it on all the time:

If you are in a region with bad cell tower signal, disabling Data (switching to 2G) will save power when the phone is constantly trying to get a better connection.

My setup for that BetterBatteryStats screenshot was (as always): Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep > Only when plugged in as mentioned in #9 of that battery post. More useful tips in that point. You can see in the BBS screenshot that Wifi was in use for a short time (28 minutes) by the phone's automatic maintenance. Again from the battery post:

3- Use the granddaddy of battery drain troubleshooting apps to see what is preventing deep sleep (Doze) on your device with BetterBatteryStats free XDA edition thread > read the If you need help chapter for the proper troubleshooting setup. Check also BetterBatteryStats very own FAQ.

If you check the last couple of pages of that BBS thread you will see some posts by very knowledgeable & helpful users. If you make a BBS dump following exactly the instructions of the If you need help chapter in post #1 and post it in that thread you may get some good tips.

This said I will quote myself again: everything is relative so the exact same power spent on a new battery could be 10% but shown as 40% on an older one with reduced capacity. The % reported in the OS is relative. Fully charged, both old & new OEM battery may show 100% but the new will normally last longer.

If only there was an app reporting the real power capacity of our batteries in mAh instead of only the voltage or a relative %...

The S3 i9300 does not have a battery temperature sensor. The 30 degree is just a placeholder. I saw CPU temperature & that's it.

You don't have to turn off cellular Data completely to stop what some apps are doing with it:

Battery Charging Rate

My S3 i9300 is running currently up-to-date LineageOS 2018-04-26 + Open Gaps Nano + Lineage su add-on and I have zero charging problems.

The S3 maximum battery charging rate using a power adapter with an output of 5v & 1 amp minimum is 1000 mA and 460-500 mA using USB connected to a computer.

The max battery voltage reached when fully charged depends on how old & the quality of the battery. Edit: I just finished charging to 100% a new third-party battery in the S3 a got a few days ago, waited an extra 10 minutes after the green notification LED turned off & the battery voltage is currently 4.33V (4330mV) but that does not say the real power capacity of the battery. Screenshot of Phone INFO > Monitor panel:

Now depending on the quality of the cable & the connection to the phone that charging rate may vary wildly. I often have to disconnect/reconnect until I get the max 1000 mA because my S3's charging port is getting old & loose. Or have to change flaky cable sometimes.

Yes the battery may charge faster on Airplane mode or when the phone is turned off because more power goes towards charging instead of being consumed by the phone's radios, OS, etc.

Very few apps can read the real S3 on LinegeOS battery charging rate. I use all the time the simple Galaxy Charging Current set to start automatically when I connect a cable & gives a notification with the current live mA charging rate.(screenshot)

Some other apps can do it too amongst maybe too many features and they must be tamed with Privacy Guard otherwise they start at Boot, run in the background, keep awake doing too much stuff & end up eating the battery & RAM like GSam Battery Monitor for example.

See Charging Current Monitoring App S3 LOS for more details & screenshots.
