Re: Wifi Hidden Network - SIM Card Problem

Thanks for reporting back, the screenshots & the Thanks. :good::cool:

Glad that you can now connect to your hidden Wifi network.

Did you try my other suggestion including this that should fix the no baseband problem: EFS Partition Backup - No Service, No IMEI & No SIM Card Fix

***
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Death_Gun:
No, thank you for helping me

so, I tried all these methods and I still have no baseband, no Service, no IMEI & No SIM Card

and for the thread "EFS Partition Backup - No Service, No IMEI & No SIM Card Fix", I backed to the stock rom (by wipping eveything and installing the stock rom by odin) and installed root, recovery twrp, and then I backed-up the EFS files then I flashed the custom rom and the gapps file and I made reboot system to make sure everything is okay

then I back to recovery and made restore to the EFS file and reboot the system

but it didn't fix it

for the "most recent modem for the S3 i9300" thread, I flashed Modem_I9300XXUGOK1 and not fixing any thing so I tried the Modem_I9300UBUGNK1

and also not fixing any thing

and also I flashed the Bootloader: I9300XXUGPE1 from this thread and as I told you, I still have no baseband, no Service, no IMEI & No SIM Card
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Death_Gun:
edit:

I tried again and now I have Bootloader: I9300XXUGPE1

Re: SIM Card & Baseband Problems

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Try LineageOS 14.1 for S3 i9300 then. See this post and also LineageOS S3 i9300 Known Issues Workarounds - Bugs

Edit: [MENTION=7153217]Death_Gun[/MENTION] - Do you have network access & SIM working with the stock Samsung OS?

I just noticed that you wrote this above: "...installing the stock rom by odin) and installed root, recovery twrp, and then I backed-up the EFS files then I flashed the custom rom and the gapps file".

FYI you don't have to root stock Samsung before installing TWRP.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Death_Gun:
In stock rom yes, I have network access & SIM

I'm gonna give this rom last try and I will see where I wil reach

[Galaxy S III Android Development] minealex2244:
Hi everyone. It's been a while since I didn't work with my S3 (2 or 3 years to be exact). Now I'm using a Galaxy S20+ as a daily driver and an S9 as secondary device but I wanted to see how the S3 performs in 2020. So I saw this ROM and I wanted to try it. I downloaded the latest version, then latest OpenGapps Aroma, TWRP 3.2.3, no root and formatted everything. After flashing ROM and Aroma OpenGapps everything booted up successfully and then I started setting up my device. Unfortunately, (I think) the Setup Wizard crashed and I'm unable to finish it so my screen is black with only the statusbar visible but not accessible as it's still in the Wizard. None of the buttons work. Am I missing something? Have anyone encountered this issue?

Btw, I'm glad to see Android 9 and 10 for this really old device. That's incredible!

S3 not going past LOS16 loading screen animation

I recently flashed the ROM and gapps micro 9.0. The device shows the LOS16 loading animation for about 5-7min before rebooting into twrp. Tried the factory reset option from the TWRP menu, but no go. Any help is very much appriciated!:crying:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] minealex2244:
Try wiping everything, system, cache, data and then reflash ROM and OpenGapps. Don't flash anything else. Also make sure you have the latest official OpenGapps Pico.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Usman000111:
Thanks for your reply!

When I initially tried flashing the ROM I kept getting error 7. So I altered the update-script (META/com/google/android/update-script) and removed the assert commands in the beginning.

This workaround allowed me to install the ROM.

Now when I try to boot after installing the ROM, it takes me directly to the TWRP menu, not to the ROM. It shows that small red exclamation mark on the top left corner.

I tried wiping and installing the ROM and OpenGapps Pico 9.0 again, but no-go! :/

---------- Post added at 10:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:11 AM ----------

Hey, so I had reverted to an older TWRP due to the error 7 message, as I had read that was a potential solution.

I just flashed the lastest version after following your clean install instructions and everything seems to be working fine now! Thanks for your reply! :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] minealex2244:
Yeah.... Flashed OpenGapps Nano and same issue ? I'm gonna try Pico. How knows?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] minealex2244:
So... I have flashed the Pico Gapps and bam! It worked! There are a few apps which make the difference between Pico and Nano Gapps. I'm gonna inspect them to see which one is the bad one. And OMG! ? The S3 with Android 9 is so weird but beautiful. Great work!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Usman000111:
Pico is perfect I guess. I'm able to install anything else I need without any fuss whatsoever. Tried Google Play Games, worked just fine! Also a tonne of other apps and games which aren't that heavy weren't compatible on the stock ROM for god knows what reason, work perfectly fine now! Great job to all the devs who worked on this!:good::)

ro.debuggable

Is there any chance to get your lineageOS distribution without the ro.debuggable setting set to 1?

The airgap-vault software I want to use checks this setting (and other "rooted" settings) and doesn't start if this is not set to 0.

Thank you

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sergey Biryukov:
Just wanted to say thanks to ChronoMonochrome and everyone involved in creating this ROM.

I've been using the latest official LineageOS 14.1 build (lineage-14.1-20190217-nightly-i9300-signed.zip) for over a year. It worked fine most of the time, with occasional freezes and random reboots, I think due to the device's internal memory slowly wearing out. Sometimes those reboots resulted in corrupted cache or data partitions.

This ROM feels much faster and smoother, almost as fast as the original ROM back in 2013. I still had one or two random reboots in over a week, but overall it seems much more stable. The only issue I can consistently reproduce is a crash when opening the settings in the default Camera app.

Thanks again for breathing new life into my daily driver!

---------- Post added at 05:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:19 PM ----------

For anyone flashing with TWRP and encountering the boot loop of LineageOS loading animation for several minutes before rebooting into TWRP, make sure to uncheck the "Install as a System App" checkbox in TWRP after flashing the ROM. The installation should then proceed as expected.

lineage-14.1-20190217-nightly-i9300 gps does it work ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sergey Biryukov:
As far as I know, it should.

My device has a secondhand motherboard where the GPS didn't even work on stock ROM, so I could not verify.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SomeDooD123:
Is it possible to successfully flash this on carrier specific variants? I don't mind if it didn't have cell capabilities. Have an old Verizon version I wanna mess around with.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] barthezz_x:
can someone help me with "no SIM detected"

I am on this ROM 3.01.2020 - build #5

i tried your solution to put SIM in another phone but there it also says "no SIM detected", so I cant disable the SIM PIN check. What to do now?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] PasiPohj:
I'm pretty sure the Verizon version isn't I9300 or I9305. They seem to be I535 which has completely different hardware, so it's a completely different phone inside even if it's called Galaxy S3 and looks the same from outside.

So the answer is no, you can't flash this ROM.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] someOn3:
any news regarding gps? i would really love to flash this rom, but without gps, i get problems, as i need that :/
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rfmalta:
why don't you try it for yourself? mine is working great here!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] someOn3:
why should i try something which is broken? i assume, if its a KNOWN BUG, then it is a KNOWN BUG. why should i re-verify.

So you are saying there is no bug at all with gps?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] css2020:
Up to now, my experience is that the GPS itself works, sees satellites, gets a fix etc., but at some point it stops working. Turning GPS off, waiting, and turning it on again will resolve it most of the times. In some instances, it "recovers" by itself and the GPS works again (but will stop again later). So for me, I can use it to check my location while hiking/skiing etc. (takes a while to get the first fix), but it's unusable for navigation e.g. in the car.

I tried first with AddOnSu and MindTheGapps, now with Magisk and MicroG (where I have the feeling the GPS survives longer and recovers more often than not, but that might be subjective). I'm still trying to debug where this behavior is coming from, all I see is in dmsg messages like "init: Service 'gps-daemon' (pid 26955) exited with status 1".
[Galaxy S III Android Development] eriol1:
Have you tried the classic "tighten the screws in the back solution" ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] css2020:
Yes, definitely - came across this myself 2-3 years ago and was really happy to find the fix here. But naw, initially it's fine, at some point it stops. With MindTheGapps, I tested it once while cycling and had the same behavior a couple of times: turning the GPS on, cycling a bit, good GPS tracking, and then quite on the spot after 2 min, the signal seems to be gone, turn the GPS off and on, and again the same.

As said, I see the GPS daemon /system/vendor/bin/glgps exiting - then being restarted by init, and often failing on the restart again (dmesg immediately "exited with status 1"), and init retrying after 5 min, which at some point might be successful as well (couldn't say).

Latest thing I'm trying now is to replace the glgps binary with the one from Lineage 14.1, which is the same file size but does differ in a few bytes. That's kind of a blind shot, but I'm giving it a try now and see if I notice any difference - will take a while till I can say something, as usually, the GPS only breaks while driving, not while looking out the window and having a debug terminal open in parallel :p
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Moogle Stiltzkin:
been testing this rom out. few things i notice.

when charging phone, it will charge fine at first. but later it you press the button and it doesn't show the charging icon. even replugging cable doesn't do anything.

only option at that point is to boot up.

i was wondering whether it had succesfully fully charged, seems it did. it's just that once it shows you the charging icon the first time (while it's shutdown), it won't reappear the next time. i don't know why that is, but it's definitely some sort of bug.

in normal operation using a known stable older android rom, you can plug, unplug, plug back and it will always show you the charge icon without flaw. but the current rom build doesn't quite work as well for that example.

---------- Post added at 07:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:20 AM ----------

my solution to this, when you flash the rom, when that completes and it wants to boot up, first it will ask you "do you want to install twrp systemless?"

if you click yes, it will bootloop like what you reported.

but if you select skip. it will load the rom correctly.

so try that

---------- Post added at 07:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:37 AM ----------

performance doesn't feel great.

but i already installed stuff like

greenify

exposed

edxposed

magisk manager

viper4audio (had to install another module to be able to install the audio driver as well)

energizer protection (adblocker. i also had to use the terminal emulator to enable it fully)

so i'm unsure if perhaps maybe one of these things is causing the problem, just to be fair.

battery drain doesn't seem good, even after i installed greenify (xposed module) to keep it in check.

My SIM works, so i can sms and make calls.

Wifi also works.

My main gripe with the build is

battery life

power led not working

connect to charge doesn't work flawlessly

performance issue, ui feels sluggish, and sometimes apps hang momentarily. not quite sure how to fix this
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Moogle Stiltzkin:
how do you change to zzmove? :confused:

oo... you used Adiutor app.

last time i used boeffla kernel and his app, but he no longer maintains :{

*update

so i did what you suggested. wow... the performance is definitely much better and more stable.

but i couldnt tweak some of what you mentioned, couldnt find the options in auditor

schedule work quees on awake cpus unticked for more responsiveness or ticked for more battery savings

external:fiops - readahead:1024kb.

how do you disable the sim pin? nm figured it out. yes mine is unticked disabled

[Galaxy S III Android Development] css2020:
Sorry, was busy yesterday afternoon, was about to reply now, so I'm glad you found it already and it works for you :). The mentioned post wasn't by me unfortunately, so I couldn't find the mentioned settings either, I only increased the external readahead to 1024 KB (with cfq scheduler), that sounded like it made sense. Thanks to aveyo for that post, maybe check with him for more details.

But zzmoove does look quite smart, also has a ton of options (like minimum frequency during music playback), wanted to check that in more detail at some time as well - but it seems the values are already preset quite well with the chosen profile number 2 "ybat". Just found an overview of the possible profile numbers, this seems like a good start to play around: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=42637795&postcount=4

I need to install a bank app but it gives me an error because my phone is rooted. I've tried hiding it with magisk (and renaming it) without success. I know there is an app called island which can isolate the app from root but it seems our rom does not support it. so, any help? is there a way I can install my bank app?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Bvukaso:
I have tested both versions:

2020 03 01

and

2020 02 08

Both are stable and working fine. The only difference I notice is buttery life. In first version, sometimes device overheats, using youtube too much for example. In the second, there is no overheating issue. So I suggest you use 20200208.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] someOn3:

[Galaxy S III Android Development] SebastianJC:
Battery Drain

Hi. The 20200208 update of the ROM is causing excessive battery drain, with the stock 2100mAh battery,even while sleeping, and a lot of heating issues close to the base of the phone. Sometimes, it gets too hot to even hold.

But the ROM itself is terrific ! Thanks for keeping this device alive and kicking!!!:)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] VonSparq:
I have an issue with reviving texts on this rom, it appears that once it goes into deep sleep, after a few minutes of the screen being locked, it does not receive SMS messages or any other type of notification. They all suddenly appear once i wake the hone up but this is obviously very inconvenient.

I'm running the rom with the wifi fix, open gapps pico and magisk.

I am also having this issue with the other LOS 16 rom.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Max1306:
Thanx for this ROM.

Ended up updating to the 2020 version of lineage os 16 while everything was backed up beforehand then ran into a snag with rooting as i had to mod the sound since it was really low as im partially deaf. So it working so far battery life is abit better than the old version of lineage i was using before. No issue with wifi at all while the old version i was using had to restart the phone every time the wifi breaks. Keep the good work up :)

[Galaxy S III Android Development] MiHawkBeast:
Hi, thank you so much, I'm using S3 i9300 still the screen quality are super clear because super amoled display.

I've tried this rom so far this is what I found:

1. the battery charging percentage surprisingly very very good, charging from 10% - 80% took about 1.5hours.

2. playing heavy games the battery did not drop also, it's keep getting charged, im very happy with this.

3. the camera and video, with torch light works really well only problem is the screen on camera abit small, i hope can tweak abit bigger screen size.

4. everything works really well, I have not seen any bugs on this rom.

however only 1 thing i really hope i could change:

1. the notification panel color, I really hope It can change from bright white color to match darker color:

it's just way too bright it's kinda hurt the eyes, but that's it, everything really working fine, I will keep using this 4.8inch display in work and daily use!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] shaawjee:
Which version you are using?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MiHawkBeast:
I'm using 16.0 BETA version for about 3 days now, this rom works really great on s3, the battery life from 5% - 90% charge really quick, it save my S3 I9300 life. hopefully I could use this phone for longer, phone processor still going strong.

only 2 things I hope could change.

1. bright white notification panel background. not match the dark theme

2. the auto rotate option did not revert back to potrait mode when "turn off" so everytime I have to rotate my phone and click turn on and turn off again to get potrait mode. I hope it could Auto revert back to potrait mode just like the old Android version.

overall rom 9.5/10, phone feel new like future travel.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] JCFB:
I tried and I like this latest update. It still has some flaws like a bit high RAM usage and a somewhat fast battery drain. Also SELinux isn't working properly yet (I assume on purpose).

Other than that the phone doesn't feel laggy and is usable with MicroG, bromite works fine for light web browsing and other basic apps also ran fine.

But tbh this is the S3 after all, just the fact that it can still used for daily stuff and run android 9 somewhat smoothly is awesome.
