Installation

(NOTE: if you experience robotic voice during calls: see the FAQ for a fix)

Upgrading from CyanogenMod/unofficial LineageOS without wiping

Unfortunately, now you have to wipe to come from CM - see "First time LineageOS14.1 installation on your Galaxy S III", or if you're brave try the instructions on changing keys.

First time LineageOS 14.1 installation on your Galaxy S III:

Read the official Wiki page

Flash a custom recovery via Heimdall or Odin

Push GApps (arm) and the Lineage 14.1 zip to your device

Boot into Recovery

Perform factory reset

Flash the Lineage 14.1 zip from SD card

Flash GApps from SD card

Reboot

Upgrading from earlier version of LineageOS:

Update your recovery - Lineage Recovery will be done automatically, TWRP can be downloaded from here (NOTE: you need 3.0.2-2 or higher to automatically install updates in Lineage 14.1)

Push the new Lineage 14.1 zip to your SD card

Boot into Recovery

Flash the Lineage 14.1 zip from SD card

Flash the most recent GApps for 7.1 if you are upgrading from earlier android version

Reboot

Reporting bugs

Bug reports belong on JIRA. See our wiki for more information on using JIRA.

I do not check this thread regularly for bug reports. Using JIRA makes tracking down & debugging bugs a lot easier. Feel free to use this thread to discuss bugs, though :)

DO NOT report bugs if you're running a custom kernel

DO NOT report bugs if you've modified system files

DO NOT report bugs if you've installed xposed and/or other mods

Grab a logcat right after the problem has occurred. (Please include at least a few pages of the log, not just the last few lines, unless you know what you're doing.)

See how to submit a bug report for the appropriate place to report your bug (NOTE: the majority of bugs need to go in the BUGBASH tracker, which is only open on weekends).

Remember to provide as much info as possible. The more info you provide, the more likely that the bug will be solved. Please also do not report known issues or bugs already reported on JIRA. Any bug not reported in the bug report format below may be ignored.

Phone Informations
* Lineage version
* Gapps version
What you did:
* Wipe data: y/n
* Upgrade from previous official cm build: y/n

Getting help

You can ask for help on our subreddit, on IRC: #LineageOS on Freenode

F.A.Q.

Root?

Flashable zips to install/uninstall root can be found here. Download the "arm" variants.

Robotic voice during calls?

Try using the I9300XXUGMK6 modem. Instructions are here.

GPS Issues?

Probably a hardware issue. Try tightening the screws on the back of the device, or see this video for more information (thanks to @baltics for the link)

The LineageOS team would like to thank everyone involved in helping with testing, coding, debugging & documenting! Enjoy!
