Can you recommend this ROM in the current state (December 2017)?

I want to install it on a friend's phone. He has the stock rom installed

and I think and hope this will be a upgrade in any way.

Which bugs are known?

Because I can not get his phone very often.

I will get his phone in two weeks and maybe the new update is there then :)

Many thanks in advance! :good:

Regards,

Marco

I'm quite happy with this ROM. Imo it runs smoother than Ressurection Remix although it's missing some customisation features compared to RR (which probably doesn't matter). I'm using the January version like pointed out one post above which features the "huge RAM improvements". I don't know whether that is why it is smoother.

Overall I can't think of any bugs right now but don't expect the phone to be much faster. I generally recommend to reboot every other day or else the phone might get a bit slow and sometimes behave a bit weird. I use these ROMs as a daily driver since a few years and would always prefer them over stock.

Just make a full backup with TWRP so in case your friend isn't happy you can revert back to stock.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] rubentkato77:
If it helps.

I did it in some other way: downloaded both ROM zip files, unzip the 20171011 file to extract the libraries files mentioned in the post. then put it where you can locate them; unzip the 20180109 ROM file, and copy the libraries files into system/lib/path, and then compress into zip file again ROM (rename it), flash it over the Nougat 7.1.2 (LineageOS 14.1) 20171215 build, wipe chache an dalvik and it's done !

Facebook videos and audio fx weren't working, after I did this it worked, also gallery playing videos as mentioned.

Sorry but I'm new in these parts ...

Someone would give me detailed information on how to upgrade to Lineage?

..sorry for my english ...:D

From what basis should you start to upgrade?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Thrash19:
Flashing Samsung S3 mini:

Programs you need:

Odin3 v3.13.1 - "odindownloader.com/download/odin3-v3-13-1"

Twrp2.8_golden.nova.20140911 - "2.get.novafusion.pl/?id=1375"

Lineagelos14.1_golden.nova.20180109 - "www118.zippyshare.com/v/YpKToh4V/file.html" (video works)

Open_gapps-arm-7.1-nano-20180423.zip - "opengapps.org" (Select: ARM - 7.1 - nano -> download)

Need a external sd card on phone, to store lineage and opengapps.

Need a micro usb to usb.

Need a computer to use odin.

Save everything personal, you want to keep from your phone on external card/computer, and write down phone-numbers/apps and more.

Go to "settings" on the mobile.

Go to "about phone"

Go to "buildning number" tap 7 times (enables develeper options)

Go back to settings - click "developer options" and click "on"

Scroll down to "android debug usb" and "enable"

Turn off your phone.

Press and hold, "home" + "power" + "volume down" (this will take your phone to download mode)

Connect your phone to the computer with usb cable.

Place Lineagelos14.1_golden.nova.20180109 and Open_gapps-arm-7.1-nano-20180423.zip on your external sd card.

Open Odin3 v3.13.1 on your computer.

Click "AP".

Select Twrp2.8_golden.nova.20140911

Click "start" (when clicking "start", hold down: "home" + "volume up" on your phone, when the phone restarts, release).

Your phone will now go TWRP.

Backup.

In TWRP:

Press wipe

-Factory Reset (swipe)

-Advanced wipe (dont select micro sd card) (swipe)

-Format data (write "yes")

Go back and go Install

Select: Lineagelos14.1_golden.nova.20180109 (swipe) (installing, takes a while)

Go back to Install, and select: open_gapps-arm-7.1-nano-20180423.zip (installing, takes a while)

When finished, go back in TWRP and power off

Power on your phone and the new rom (7.1) and gapps will start

(do at your own risk)

thank you very much ... installed everything almost perfectly ... GPS does not work.

There is a solution?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Oehrly:
Like real satellite based GPS or location services? First would be a ROM issue (but it should work). The second probably would be an issue with Gapps
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Carpe Noctem 11:

Please also note this: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=76112932&postcount=569

I would recommend to use microg ( https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/module-nanomod-5-0-20170405-microg-t3584928 ) instead of Gapps

and for GPS follow instructions on https://lineage.microg.org/#instructions "Post Install"

For me GPS works fine
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Thrash19:
I made a flashable zip with changed and working video and audio for the 20180109 release. "www118.zippyshare.com/v/YpKToh4V/file.html"

I tried google maps app, and it works.

Yes its up everyone too choose between microg or opengapps. I have tried both but opengapps works good, and for beginners abit easier too understand.

For better battery life, you can go settings -> memory -> apps started on boot. And change some apps.

Be aware that some roms have different Issues.

But I am very grateful for this forum and this rom, to keep the S3 mini alive for the future.

[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Galaxea:
Looking great so far - waiting for the next installment!

Q. In this ROM, how do I mount "/sys/class/power_supply/battery" as RW so that I can edit the files in that folder?

I have tried multiple editors and nothing will work. Please assist. Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] :
Im am experiencing the exact same issue. Another one ist that I cannot use root. In developer options only root via adb is selectable. No other option. Also flashing Magisk didn't result in root access. The Magisk app says it cannot find root or it isn't able to gain root access.

I've tested all versions of the nougat (RR,aokp,lineage) , and that's the best, perfect performance and battery life, about issues

Are all the same errors for the 3 versions, youtube 480p, wifi disconnect all the time and screen recording does not work
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] gh0stzk:
Yes this last lineage release feels more stable and just like you said same bugs, i can live with this bugs. Just need to wait development still progress and one day we can get an stable, and smooth android N on this s3 mini. For now thanks 4 the hard work maclaw.

[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Oehrly:
SpiritFM does work. There are just very few versions of it that work on these custom ROMs. I'm using Spirit Free 2013_09_18 on RR7.1. The only issue is that I can't get the audio to play over speaker instead of headset. Maybe there is one version where also this works, but there exists a huge amount of different apks and I haven't tested all. You should be able to get the apk from one of the spirit threads. I don't know if I'm allowed to post the apk here.

If anyone finds a version where everything works, I'd like to know, please.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] New Macław:
Could you share your apk?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Oehrly:
Ok, here is the apk I'm using. For me it works without changing any settings on the currently newest rr7.1 build.

I found it quite some while ago in some spirit thread here.

[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] ChronoMonochrome:
As far as I know, this CPU governor uses a hotplug feature - using hotplug was always a really bad idea on this platform, no matter which CPU governor is in use. So it's better to let both CPU cores be always on (when the device is awake), otherwise unplugging second CPU core won't help saving power, conversely, it only will increase battery consumption and causing a high load on first core and lags.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] r0nald:
Thanks, audioFX not working for me. Is there any way to increase in-call volume?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] danilisilva7:

root access?

How can we get root access to "stable: 20180109" ?

App SuperSU is not working.

AdAway says "system must be rooted.."

/system/xbin/su is installed

EDIT:

got it!

just enable developer options.

root configuration can be found there.

No need for App SuperSU in LineageOS.

Sorry for confusion ;)

-less storage usage

-less ram usage

-for entry level smart phones.

so wantesd to try it out on my s3 mini

help?

That's interesting, Android 9 needs treble? 100%? Can't believe that. Many cheap devices will get it and not all of them have treble support.

Cześć Macław, I'm gaining interest in S III mini (i8190N) as I borrowed the device for some time and just tinkering with it. Does your ROM support NFC version? What is your current board after replacement of the broken one? The hardware of S Advance seems to be quite similar (but with 3/4 of RAM), are you playing with it? Keep up posting whatever the trolls say;)

[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] ahoellrigl:
First - huge thanks also from me to Macław for his work on custom ROMs for the S3 mini, it is highly appreciated. I have two of these devices, which I have set up as smartphones for my kids, because I think they are perfect in size for them. Would be a dream if one day Android 8 would run on them in the Android Go version.

Second - I have made the observation that LOS 13 and 14 alone will run rather smoothly on the S3 mini, but when Google Apps are flashed, even the micro version, both systems become somewhat laggy. The last version that runs at a decent speed with Google Apps installed seems to be CM12. So, I wonder what would happen if I made an update from CM12 with Google Apps to LOS14 without flashing "new" Google Apps. Will the "old" ones then stay (and also work)? Will they be updated? Or will the system crash? Sorry, if this is a stupid question, but maybe somebody could help me with that before I start flashing and reflashing my S3 mini over and over again...
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] remoo78:
Glad to see you again!

If a new build come, i'll jump from LOS14 directly ! (still on your latest cm11 but don't have time to upgrade) I trust your work since you've made a Kit-Kat rom. S3mini used as my primary phone daily and happy with that, I don't need more. If one day it brokes, I'll try to find the same. As others, thanks again :highfive:

@ New Macław

Will you publish updates this week?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] mandayugana:
try microG instead of GApps.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] ahoellrigl:
Thanks for the hint. But then I had a look on their GitHub site, where it says: "This is alpha-grade software and not yet ready for production use." I have prepared my two S3 mini for my kids for their daily use, so microG is perhaps not a feasible solution yet for them. Anyway, I will keep an eye on that. Thanks again.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Oehrly:
I'm using MicroG on my S3 mini and my OnePlus 3 since well over a year as a daily driver and don't really have any issues.

I recommend ale5000's unofficial installer and his sync add-on. This will give you stable (IMHO) Email, Contact, Calendar sync as well as working Playstore. Buying apps on Playstore may or may not work. But if you buy them on a PC you can download them in any case.

Why alpha? Probably because off

https://github.com/microg/android_packages_apps_GmsCore/wiki/Implementation-Status

If you don't need the not implemented functionality that doesn't really matter.

If you say you need it for your kids I assume the basic functionality would be sufficient.

You don't need to expect a lot off crashes really. It won't be perfect but you're going for a reasonably new version off Android on a seven year old device in the first place. Microg really is the only thing I can recommend to improve performance on this device in a meaningful way. Still it will be an old and rather slow phone in today's standards.

The only issue you will encounter is Error RH-01 in Playstore after first setup.

What you need to do is finish microg setup. Everything in microg's self-check needs to be checked (apart from location stuff). Clear Playstore data, reboot, then try again. If it still doesn't work, wait a bit, clear Playstore data, reboot, ...

Once the issue disappears it shouldn't come back.
