S3 i9300: Only S3 With Official LineageOS Maintainer

Whatever speculations about what [MENTION=5405215]forkbomb444[/MENTION] is currently doing with his free time as a volunteer I would like to give him a big Thank You! for marching on as the LineageOS Maintainer for our S3 i9300 devices. One can see in that page that he is also credited as one of the few Head developers and one of the Global proofreaders.

I am happily running the lineage 14.1 2018-01-03 nightly-i9300 and that's thanks to him. While the Android security patch level is still 2017-12-05 @ the present, the Kernel was updated. (attachment)

All the other S3 devices have currently lost their Lineage maintainers.

For example: most recent LineageOS build for the Samsung Galaxy S III (AT&T) (d2att): 2017-12-04 and if you click on Device info it opens the Wiki page where you can see a red box saying "Warning: The Samsung Galaxy S III (AT&T) is no longer maintained." (attachment)

It's the same last build date & no longer maintained status for the S3 Sprint d2spr, S3 T-Mobile d2tmo, S3 Verizon d2vzw and for the S3 i9305 it's 2017-11-08.

I guess your copy/paste function is broken so that's why you could not provide a link to the page you are referring to? :rolleyes: From your posts it seems that you are not even using LOS Official 14.1, right?

Here I can see that he uploaded some i9300 related stuff for review on 2017-12-18 which is barely 2 weeks ago. Anyway his Merged contributions to the LineageOS project and various CM branches over the years are quite impressive as well as in his GitHub profile.

Whatever he his doing or working on is up to him and thanks for all the fish!

Might as well provide a link :rolleyes: https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Main_Page

That's the most poetic expression in this thread so far in 2018. :) Probably thanks to a machine translation lol.

What are you showing is just the proof of what I said! Did you even look at the screenshot?! Where is the smdk4412 kernel? Right! There isn't! Now please stop with this kind of stupidity. I don't like that people who think they know everything but in fact they show the opposite. Answer the following question: Is "Hudson"

the kernel you are talking about? I'm very curious about the answer. It will say everything.

(How funny is that someone even gave you a thank you for a lie :) )

1. Wow man. Your posts are always long :)

2. I can't see forkbomb as a contributor nor as a maintainer.

3. Where does it say Android Oreo or something promising? What I can clearly see is that it can't be flashed.

You better get 3 new pairs of glasses! You gave me a link to that new OS!!! I can't see forkbomb there!!! Do you even read what you and others are writing?! What people!!! Lol. Where are the good old days people? Only the "kids" we're left here.

Once this thread was full of kind people. Now... I better don't say it. I miss that people.

Also can you stop quoting me for no reason? I didn't request or need that link! I have better things to do than staring at a link I don't even care about.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] curiousrom:
Lost in Translation...

I didn't give you a link, I was adding to a quote of [MENTION=4900593]mirhl[/MENTION]'s post. :) I don't care about postmarketOS as this is an Official LOS for i9300 thread.

You wrote "I can't see forkbomb as a contributor nor as a maintainer..." which is not very clear to what you were referring to hence my tongue-in-cheek glasses comment & links to LOS pages.

"You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink." ;)

We both have different native tongues which are not English so let's cut ourselves some slack. ;)

P.S. I already have 3 pair of glasses and 2 of them have a broken leg.

Edit: According to https://stats.lineageos.org/ the i9300 is #2 in the most active devices for LineageOS installs. There is an other Lineage stats page here with an interactive world map.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] minealex2244:
To be honest I don't even know what to say :)

Illustrations shouldn't come here. Also I'm already owning a pair of glasses :) The link you gave me didn't say much. You quoted me so I thought that it has something to do with my post.

But this is getting negative so let's concentrate of the future versions and on what's going on. I'm always keeping an eye on forkbomb's repos for S3 because I need to see when he will repo sync and get the LOS 15.1 branch in his repos. It's 2018 and still no move. But I understand him. It's really hard and as everyone can see: this thread is becoming empty :( I'm using S3 only for alarms and that's it. People nowadays are buying other phones (mostly Chinese because of the price) because they want to upgrade. We can't stop this. I'm still hoping that forkbomb will update to 15.1. That will be the last version.

Guys I have a problem about my S3's modem.I just cant change the modem that I have.I tried flashing it through twrp and Odin. Twrp says installation successfull but it doesnt and odin just fails at modem.bin.Anyone have an idea?Currently using I9300BVUGNB2
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] TruthNZ:
In the FAQ on the Original Post there's a listing for an alternate modem file - have you tried that?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] curiousrom:
Flashing Modem Using TWRP

I zipped myself this I9300UBUGNK1 modem (attachment) that I extracted from a stock Samsung i9300 ROM & flashed it from the external SD card root using TWRP & it works fine. It's a flashable zip so don't unpack.

I checked the cell towers signal strength before/after in my area and got a better reception after the upgrade. You can do it with an app or > Settings > About phone > Status > SIM status > Signal strength.

Edit: Before flashing the modem a good practice is while in TWRP > Backup > select only EFS > to external SD card & do it. After installing the new modem & testing cell phone signal & Wifi make a fresher backup and save a copy to computer as well in case one day you have missing IMEI or No SIM problems. The file is small like 5 MB.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] ArdaCsknn:
I forgot to say. If I flash any modem file, after the S3 logo, screen just goes black. Dont know whats causing that but wiping fixes the problem.

Anyways I will give it a try.

Edit: Man really really thanks. Finally I get rid of that modem.I guess the old zip files were corrupted or something.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] curiousrom:
Great! Now hit the :good: Thanks button on the post above. Besides being very good for my fragile ego, it indicates to other users that a suggestion worked for you so it may work for them too.

Hi guys! I have an issue about time/hour, sometimes when i reboot my phone the hour change and i have to set manually :rolleyes: How can i solve this problem? :confused:
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] FadeFx:
Hey, just for info, I still use the i9300 as a fallback device, so after hearing that apple reduced iphone battery change prices to €29 I had to get myself an anker 2200mah replacement battery for €10 and did a test running latest lineageos official build. I achieved an amazing 4+hrs sot with 24+hrs of overall battery life, this however was with no simcard but permanent WiFi.

Thanx to [MENTION=5405215]forkbomb444[/MENTION] for keeping that old device so vivid and up to date.

Btw, for some reason first charge stopped at 97% and was then going up and down bitween 95 and 97, thus may be intended as a battery saver, but i think the charge controller should do that on its own in the hidden...

Time is of the Essence... & Rebooting Problem?

Welcome to the XDA forum.

Nobody took the time to reply to you yet? So sad.

1- If you have the force of character for it: just ignore the problem.

2-Don't reboot.

3- This is an experimental feature but someday all Android devices will have it and Apple engineers will be green with envy which will be good for the environment: > Turn on GPS, Bluetooth & Wi-Fi > place the phone on a flat surface (important) about 60 to 90 cm in front of you (if more than that it will not work) > stare intently at it and focus on changing the time mentally. It could take a minute or two. If you fail, just get up and do some stretching exercises for at least 3.5 minutes & try again.

4- You could put a little piece of black electric tape over the statusbar clock.

5- The brain is a muscle and mentally adding or subtracting to the wrong time shown on the clock every time you look at it is good for you.

6- Everything is relative & especially time.

7- I have attached 3 beautiful wallpapers in a .zip made from Salvador Dali's famous 1931 painting The Persistence of the Memory (original Title: La persistencia de la memoria) with his melting clocks that could be a good match with your weird clock. I prefer the cropped one and included a screenshot of how it looks on my S3.

*

[IMG="Dali Melting Clocks"]https://i.imgur.com/MVCCqkw.jpg[/IMG]

*

8- Finally: go to > Settings > Date & time > turn off the Automatic thingies as your cell provider might playing tricks on you and make sure the time zone is set correctly. Reboot and pray if you are a believer. Or turn on Automatic if it was off when you had the problem.

******

Rebooting Problem?

Welcome to the XDA forum.

You don't give any details about what you installed, ROM version & gapps if any or if you modified the system with a kernel, Magisk or whatever which makes it impossible to troubleshoot has there could be 100 ways to cause that rebooting. What are you doing or apps running when it's rebooting?

All I can say is that I am running LineageOS 100% stock + gapps nano + Lineage su addon on my S3 since 6 weeks without any auto rebooting problem so far. You could try this: LineageOS super clean install

Random Reboot, Last_kmsg Troubleshooting Bugs & SysLog App

I'm not sure I understand correctly but you are saying that you know that the phone rebooted because it is asking for your PIN because you enabled it in > Settings > Security > SIM card lock PIN enabled, right?

From this post: "RAM Console: This feature is useful especially for development and debugging purposes, when occurs kernel panic / unexpected shutdowns or reboots. Practically, the kernel messages are also stored inside a little RAM portion and restored during reboot after a kernel panic, inside the file /proc/last_kmsg."

So use a root enabled file explorer like ES Explorer for example and navigate to /proc/ and copy Last_kmsg to sdcard and rename it Last_kmsg.txt and attach it to your reply & maybe we can help you identify the problem. Thanks to [MENTION=6371648]minealex2244[/MENTION] for suggesting it in this thread and helping users to fix their random reboot problems.

Or use the free SysLog app right after a random reboot and select Last kernel log and Scrub (removes your device's serial number) which will save Last_kmsg as Last_kmsg.log + a .zip version to /sdcard/Syslog and will offer to share the .zip via email, Bluetooth, etc. Make sure to rename it Last_kmsg.txt before attaching it to your message. (see attachment) In Windows it's better to use WordPad than Notepad to view the logs.

In Syslog: "Kernel log = dmesg, Last kernel log = last_kmsg, main log = logcat, modem log = radio log" but we need only Last_kmsg.txt @ the present.

This tutorial gives a pretty good explanation of 3 different logs (logcat, dmesg & Last_kmsg) while saying to use adb, a cable & a computer which Syslog can do in seconds right from the phone itself: Tutorial: How to properly post a bug

No Cellular Data on Galaxy S3 i9300

Greetings and thanks for the wonderful rom. Sadly, I am unable to get cellular data. Has a fix been found for this? I searched through xda and couldn't find one. Cell Data worked briefly, but now not at all. I believe it might have been triggered by turning off wifi, but not sure. Tried a complete wipe of all caches, data, system, etc. plus a reformat of internal before clean installing lineage-14.1-201727-nightly with GAPPS pico. Sadly, this will force me to ditch lineageos, despite it being such a beautiful rom. Sorry don't have much to offer, I'm no developer. Wish everyone well, though!

I have a problem please guide,Why are not audio and video files on the memory card recognized on Music Player and Gallery?

Does anyone else have this problem?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] minealex2244:
Check whether there is any .nomedia file in the specific folder. That will make mediaserver to ignore the media files in that folder.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] LuciferIII:
Also, try to use a File explorer that has the ability to reveal hidden files, you probably wont be able to see that .nomedia file with the stock file explorer.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] curiousrom:
Ref.: No Cellular Data on Galaxy S3 i9300

Hello, searching this thread with cellular data you will see that nobody reported data not working in the last 6 months so it's not ROM related. There is no fix because cellular data is not broken in this Official LineageOS 14.1 for i9300.

1- First step is to check the website of your cellular network operator or call them to make sure > Settings > Wireless & networks > More > Cellular networks is setup properly (Preferred network type 3G, Access Point Names (APN, specific to your operator) & Network operators (set to automatic for me). And reboot.

2- You could try > Settings > Wireless & networks > More > Network settings reset but then you will have to re-enter Wifi passwords & Bluetooth pairings. And reboot.

3- Statusbar > Curtain > tap cellular icon > enable Cellular data. Or > Settings > Wireless & networks > Data usage > enable Cellular data.

4- Turning off the phone & removing & re-inserting the SIM can make a better connection. Or clean the SIM's golden contacts with an eraser or alcohol.

5- In which country do you live? In > Settings > About phone > what is your Baseband version (modem which is not included in LOS)? This one works fine on my S3 and is easy to flash: Flashing Modem Using TWRP

6- Your network operator may have some temporary data problem in your region.

7- A couple of years ago I had to replace my S3's SIM card because it got corrupted for some reasons.

Did you install a custom kernel or Magisk or SuperSU instead of the Lineage su 14.1 ARM addon?

"...lineage-14.1-201727" - Why not install the current most recent LOS 2018-01-18 for S3 i9300? You don't need to re-flash your gapps if you don't want to when updating.

Please report back if you fixed your problem or not. Good luck!

If the great steps from curiousrom are not working you could try to restore your EFI partition that you have hopefully saved.

If that does not work try to flash the stock rom.

Music Player & Gallery Not Seeing Media Files

OMG! :)

If you did not find & deleted some .nomedia files that prevents the media indexing of a folder or even the entire memory card if placed in it's root as suggested by [MENTION=6371648]minealex2244[/MENTION] and [MENTION=7305969]LuciferIII[/MENTION]:

1- Lazy way: try the free app media.Re.Scan: media scanner and force a scan of your external memory card or your entire phone internal media + card. Many other similar apps in Play Store. A reboot is a good thing.

2- Real clean & much work:

A- Copy to computer all the content of your external SD card.

B- Use the phone itself to format the memory card: > stock Files explorer > navigate to sdcard1 > 3 dots > Storage settings > Format. Reboot > copy back data to card. Reboot again.

3- Lucky maybe: > Settings > Storage > eject (arrow up) sdcard1 & Reboot.

4- Geeky: Settings > Apps > 3 dots > Show system > Gallery > Storage > Clear Data & Clear Cache. Do the same for app Media Storage & reboot.
