[General Questions and Answers] Ythan:
Hi all, I'm having a problem with the Play Store on my Verizon Galaxy S5 running Ressurection Remix 5.8.5 (official) and Open GApps nano. When I use the Play Store app on my phone I can install apps with no problem. However, the apps will not auto-update, even though I have auto-update enabled. I also cannot install apps through the Play Store's web interface. The device shows up with a "Last Used" date of "null" (screenshot), and when I click "Install" the app never actually installs to my phone, despite appearing in "My Library".

I'm not sure exactly when this started happening, but it might have been when I installed a modded microG to use iYTBP as explained in this thread. However, I have uninstalled microG and re-flashed Ressurection Remix since then.

So far I have done the following to try and resolve this problem:

Tested Google Cloud Messaging push notifications using com.firstrowria.pushnotificationtester (they work properly).

Disabled and re-enabled syncing for all the services on my Google account (App Data, Calendar, Contacts, Gmail, Google Fit data, People details).

Removed my Google account from Settings | Accounts, and re-added it.

Cleared data + cache for the following apps: Play Store, Google Play services, Google Services Framework, Google Account Manager, Google Backup Transport.

Tried running without a SIM card.

Performed a factory reset.

Wiped system, data, and cache/Dalvik partitions, and re-flashed the latest official Ressurection Remix.

Registered my Google Services Framework Android ID at https://www.google.com/android/uncertified/.

The only thing I haven't been able to test yet is a totally new SIM card. I'm kind of running out of ideas and starting to worry that somehow my device data may be corrupt on Google's servers. Can anyone offer advice for additional troubleshooting, or point out something I may be missing?

Thank you for your kind consideration!

Hello

I want to install stock rom. Right now I am using Lineages but there is really more bugs..

Where can I find the stock rom?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sofakingsexy:
Hello,

So i have a note 8. its stuck in a boot loop. what i was trying to do was root it so i could use my ps3 controllers on it wirelessly..

what happened was i used odin to flash the samfail files on my phone, and now when it turns on normally it shows the samsung logo and some tech info, then it goes into command mode and says it failed to mount.

i have tried reflashing files in odin and it never works now. there are a few different problems i am having with odin. i think it has been saying the md5 is off when im using a file from sammobile to try flash back to stock. or it gets stuck at initializing, or somewhere else in the start up there. its been a couple weeks since i've really tried to figure it out.. i work too much to try get it done. but today is a day off and i would like to try get it up and going again.. i really need it working again i had my note 4.. but i just dropped it in a puddle and it messed up my battery for it..

i can not get pictures now of things going on because of my note4 turfing too.. haha uhm if i try go into the vol up, bixby, and power, its not the same as it used to be i think it changed when i was trying to flash to root it.

let me know what other kinda of info i can try figure out and hand off to you to figure out what else i can do to get it back to stock.

New home for the UNOFFICIAL builds of LineageOS 14.1 for the Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3 (d2vzw) (SCH-I535)

Transitioning from the Q&A sub-forum "Level of interest in maintaining UNOFFICIAL LineageOS 14.1 for d2vzw ??"

This ROM is built only from source pulled from the official LineageOS repositories. Nothing is changed by me. You get exactly what Lineage would make available if the phone was still "Officially" maintained.

The only difference is my build is signed with my private key, vice the official Lineage key.

Since my build is signed with a different key, you MUST PERFORM A FACTORY RESET (which means WIPING DATA).

If you do not WIPE DATA, the flash will still complete, but when you try to run any apps, they will most likely crash.

You cannot backup your applications and restore them after flashing, so you will need to reinstall all your apps from scratch. This behavior is not an issue with the ROM, but an Android security feature to protect your phone data.

If you choose to install a Google Applications suite (aka GApps), you MUST flash the ROM & GApps AT THE SAME TIME. Said a different way....

You CANNOT flash the ROM first, let it boot, set it up... and THEN go back and flash GApps. This requirement applies to any Official LineageOS ROM.

Builds will come out mid-month to capture Lineage updated and android security patches.

While I have verified flashing the build on my own phone, and the process should work for everyone else.... I STRONGLY recommend everyone do a FULL BACKUP before flashing the very first time.

This ROM is ONLY for the VERIZON Samsung Galaxy S3, so DO NOT flash it to other S3 variants.

The most current build is available from:

STOP! DO NOT PASS GO!

You MUST also have an UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER. If you are using SAFESTRAP because you CANNOT unlock your bootloader, then you are out of luck. This ROM will NOT work with SAFESTRAP.

Make sure you're TWRP version is up to date! Older versions of TWRP will have issues flashing this ROM.

https://dl.twrp.me/d2vzw/

Make sure you are using the latest Modem. It should be I535OYDNE1

If you don't have it installed, you can download a zip, that is flashable through TWRP here:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/i15enyq8wm759z9/d2vzw_MF1_firmware_NE1_modem.zip?dl=0

Hint: When using your SGS3 without a cellular plan (wifi only), make sure to put the phone in Airplane Mode to disable the cellular modem, but then turn on WiFi and Bluetooth. GPS does not seem to be affected by using Airplane Mode. The small airplane icon will remain in the status bar after turning WiFi and Bluetooth ON. Using this technique, with the phone in Balanced power mode, I can routinely get 6+ days of standby (phone powered on, but not actively used). There is also an Efficiency Mode, and Power Save Mode. I've experimented with Power Save mode, and went 10 days with mostly standby and some short term intermittent use; however the phone is slow to respond and a bit sluggish.

Battery Replacement info: For those interested, I am only on my second battery since I bought my d2vzw new. OEM battery latest almost 4 years. My second battery I bought off Amazon, from Anker. I continue to get very good life with the Anker battery. It also has the built in NFC antenna. At some point, I expect I will need to replace the Anker, but most batteries I see online, do NOT include the NFC antenna. If you've replaced your battery recently, and are happy with the quality/performance, it would be great to post the brand and seller for everyone's benefit

How many users do we have?

Dropbox doesn't provide any download metrics, so I have no idea how many people are using this ROM.

If you've downloaded and flashed, I'd appreciate if you'd either PM me, or make a post.

Posts would be preferred along with a note about how its is working for you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ibuprophen:
I had just been using it for a short time in the last few days...

All i can provide is that it has been working very well with little to no issues to really report. I just have to use it a bit longer, myself, to provide anything substantial (since it's not my primary device).

Just an FYI/clarification for those who may not be aware of this minor thing...

Disable (aka set it to Manual) the LineageOS Firmware Updater within the Device itself. This just uses resources and Internet data. The Unofficial updates are provided by [MENTION=4013543]mjb32803[/MENTION] and requires them to be manually downloaded and installed.

Thank you very much [MENTION=4013543]mjb32803[/MENTION] for your time, effort and, importantly, your support for this development!!!

A few delays this week. Upgraded to Ubuntu 18.04 Mate

I wasn't prepared for the impact of upgrading my system from 17.10 to 18.04, and things went a bit crazy when I tried to create a new build.

After spending a few days tinkering, I decided to follow my own instructions to recreate the build environment and setup the repository.

While frustrating, it was a good opportunity to verify what I had documents.

Needless to say, my instructions did not work as written, although I was pretty close and just a few tweaks were involved (thanks Google).

Short story is that I think I got everything working, and I am currently running a build.

Keep your fingers crossed (@23%) and moving along nicely.

Update:

Build done. Flashed to my phone and currently testing. So far seems good. This build was mainly to verify everything works after my 17.10 -> 18.04 Update. In any event, I will post through dropbox in a couple of days. FYI, The Android MAY security updates have not dropped yet, so they are not in this build.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DeeBG:
Thank you *so* much for keeping this alive. I've been using my S3 for far too long, and it's just a mess of a hacked/rooted phone on the last official KitKat update. I'm moving later this year and will likely move the entire family over to T-Mobile (Sprint T-Mobile?) at the same time since I like the extended number of phones supported by their network vs Verizon (and I know my family will too, like the Honor 7X). Until then, freedom!

Yes it's only been a few days since the last build, but this one includes the May 2018 Android security patches. I have flashed to my phone and tested Play Store, Root Explorer, Firefox, Maps, Camera, Contacts, K-9 Mail... all seems good. Normally I would run the phone for a more extended period, but thought I'd make the update available quicker since it does incorporate the security patches.

Enjoy.

Update. 1 day 3 hours since flash. Working well. Battery @ 71%

I would love so very much to update my SCH-I535 with your awesome LineageOS build - thank you for doing this! However, is it true that if my GS3 OTA updated to Android 4.4.2 than I'm totally out of luck and am forever stuck with crappy old Android?? :( I hope not :(

Sorry to be the one to tell you, but yes, with 4.4 you got KNOX installed and cannot unlock your bootloader without bricking the phone. :(

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Sudosftw:
Just tried to install this via safestrap 4.01 on an SGS3 given to me by a friend. it bootloops at the samsung screen and doesn't allow anything past that.

is this ROM only meant for devices pre-kitkat without safestrap? Can it be modified to actually boot FROM safestrap?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ibuprophen:
Custom Firmwares, like this one, can only be installed on devices with unlocked Bootloaders.

SafeStrap is used for rooted devices with a locked bootloader.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Sudosftw:
Makes no sense to me. I have a Droid 4 and Razr both with safestrap and those can adequately run Lineage 14.1 without a hitch using safestrap. both have a locked bootloader.

I don't understand what the problem is with this specific phone that makes it impossible to run custom ROMs from within safestrap. does this version of safestrap not try to coax the bootloader that the kernel is being updated? that's how the OMAP4 Droids all are able to get their ROMs working.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ibuprophen:
I never stated that it's not possible for all devices...

I was just stating, in a friendly manner, that It's NOT possible for this specific device.

Good Luck!

Thank for helping me keep my S3 running still my daily driver since preordered. Been on Octo for awhile but its no longer being updated, so I was worried I was going to have to find a new device. As my wife has gone thru 9 ( yes nine) devices since I got my bulletproof S3 . I just don't know what else is out there for a rooting tinkering old fart like me. Hopefully, its tired old bones can handle a few more flashes and wipes. Will get setup to flash this coming weekend and let you know how it goes. Before I forget , is there a kernel you suggest or is the included one good to play with. I teither a lot and slow down my CPU just abit for temp. Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ibuprophen:
Try updating the TWRP Recovery first to the New Release v3.2.2-0 from their Official Website first.

I, personally, feel that this LineageOS build has improved a bit after I had updated TWRP but, nobody can guarantee for anything that what works for one will work for all.

I'm not the developer for this Unofficial LineageOS development but, [MENTION=4013543]mjb32803[/MENTION] is the developer and is extremely helpful regarding support.

The lack of member posts here could mean that this LineageOS is either flawless or not very well known around the d2vzw community (I'd like to think that it's the first one).

Good Luck and let the developer know how it works out for you! :)

Works for Android 4.4?

Does this build of LineageOS work on the SCH-I535 with Android 4.4.x, or only for 4.3 and lower?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ibuprophen:
This can only be used on the SCH-I535 devices that have Unlocked Bootloaders and a Custom Recovery installed.

If your on the Stock Android v4.4.x and your device isn't already Bootloader Unlocked with a Custom Recovery, then all you can use is a TW Based Firmware that's just a Customized Stock Firmware.

Sorry... :(

I'm in the planning stage to buy an S3. In order to run LineageOS, do I need an I535 with less than Android 4.3, or is 4.3 ok? I have read several full threads on the subject, but it's still not clear to me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ibuprophen:
It can't be any higher than the firmware version "I535VRBMF1" (the first release of Android v4.1.2) that was released on 08-Jun-2013.

For you to get a better idea, take a look at the Chart image at the top of the OP on the following thread.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] singingandroid:
This is super helpful. I think I've located a phone with the correct firmware, but as a backup option, it looks to me by reading a couple threads including the one link you posted, that even if I get a phone with a later firmware than "I535VRBMF1" I could just use Odin to flash an older bootloader and firmware on the I535. Is this correct, or incorrect?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ibuprophen:
I believe that the MF1 wasn't always able to do this with a 75% +/- success rate. I didn't mention the MF1 because I didn't want you to get an MF1 device and end up in that 25% +/- group making me feel bad that I advised you on this.

Going for the MF1 isn't a horrible choice but, this is up to you... :thumbup:
