[Galaxy S III Android Development] InTheY2K:
Phone started behaving erratically with not responding to key inputs or just with a delay of several seconds. I then rebooted and ended up in a bootloop. Even the boot animation was really slow and stuttering. After various reboots it ended up in recovery. Not even dirty flashing the ROM again (with and w/o wiping the cache) could fix it.

Restored my backup of the July build now. :(

Where did the new build go? The link leads to a 404 on Androuid Filehost...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ChronoMonochrome:
Two recent builds are removed due to bugs that were discovered in the thread.

Unfortunately, during my tests these bugs were unnoticed and since they are making ROM not quite usable in some usage scenarios, I decided it would be better to remove new builds.

Also, we're lacking testers. Anyone who knows how to take logs and wants to help development, feel free to ping me (either here or in PM).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] thechosenone43:
I post this here cuz dm not going through....

You can add me on Telegram [MENTION=355757]thechosenone[/MENTION]46

I know how to take logs on PC or on Android device and it you want you can send me a test build for the Galaxy S3.

I'm still on the new build and one only experienced the random shutdown when charging device or when putting the device aside for a while.

Well.. nice to hear from you and thanks for still developing for S3.

Cheers mate

Just tried it out first time ever using pie and I must say it is better than Oreo. How much better can it get though, huge thanks for Audio control included huge... You should drop Oreo 8.0 and continue on Pie 9.0 viewing filters are much easier to look at not to mention the UI is much cleaner.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ruben8ap:
First of all, many thanks; really for your work [MENTION=5695278]ChronoMonochrome[/MENTION] , effort and dedication, in bringing Android Pie to our Galaxy S3-I9300 :fingers-crossed: :D

* The rom is much more fluid than Oreo, despite some other slowness in loading the configuration section.

* I have not had reboots, or sudden shutdown of applications.

* As for the errors only those that you mentioned at the beginning of the post. And an additional one that I saw early on is about the night light that is not working.

And one question, I have not seen the adaptive battery function in the battery section; What should come for Android Pie, something happens? Or is that function unique to Google Pixel :confused:

Regards !!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] LuciferIII:
Looks like it's unique to Pixel devices and some Android One phones. Haven't seen a single Lineage16 device have that feature.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] James160103:
Firstly, thanks a lot for your time and effort, but I've had problems booting the ROM on my I9300, it's stuck in a bootloop. I'm not new to flashing stuff, I wiped everything except Internal Storage and USB OTG, then proceeded flashing the ROM and OpenGapps. Didn't boot, also tried downloading ROM and Gapps again, no avail. I was on LOS15.1 before this, which worked fine, no weird errors in TWRP either.

Would appreciate any help, cheers.

Edit: LOS 14.1 also booting fine, Pie not booting even without Gapps

Hi James.You day that your phone does not boot with the versión of ROM LineageOs 16 Unoficial Android 9 Piese. I do not know how you made Root in your phone and what Recowery you installed in it, but I can Tell you that this Rom LineageOs 16 Unoficial Alpha for the Galaxy S3 I9300 phones works perfectly, I installed it in nu phone. I made Root in my phoneand and I installed ClockworkMod Touch 6.0.5.1 and over it I installed Philz Touch 6.59.0 zip. recovery so I can manage the phone system cleanup and install any compatible Rom publiched in XDA Developers Forum. To install this version of Rom software, I downloaded this Rom in the phone, OpenGapps Android Arm 9 Pie and Wifi Fix Murata zip. Se made the System, Cache and Dalwik Cache, I installed this version of Android 9 Pie after we installed the OpenGapps Arm 9 Pie Mini Aplicación Pack and then installed Wifi Fix Murata zip, and after that se restarted the phone system. I waited almost 12 minutes for the phone to boot sa reboot, and I sale this software working in all its beauty in an old Samsung phone for almost seven years, which this company has not developed Android versión of to versión KitKat 4.4.2 here. On behalf of me , I congratulate Android software developers who helped develop and adapt thish versión Android 9 Pie. For all my respect and congratulations with my heart. It is worth mentioning the work they have done for both Rom LineageOs 15.1 Unoficial Android 8.1 and Rom LineageOs 16 Unoficial Android 9 Pie. It is a great job to be able to enjoy the latest versión of Android by Google in an old phone that its day was the world's lameading Samsung. Many congratulations on my part.

Have any of you got a solution for this?

- LOS 14.1 booting fine

- No errors in TWRP 3.2.3.0

- Pie still not booting (stuck at animation, waited for 30 mins), tried downloading ROM again, with and without Gapps, wiped everything except SD Card and Internal Storage

Any help? Cheers :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andybla:
when you go into wipe setting in twrp, try formatting, and then wiping in advanced wipe. that's what fixed it for me.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] gedesby:
Hey again

[Galaxy S III Android Development] abelenki:
thanks for new update!

i'm using it for several hours, and it seems to work fine. all problems, except Notification Access for Light Flow, seem to be gone.

current report:

1. i dirty-flashed it on top of 20190411 build. the process went without any issues. after flashing, everything stayed intact (settings and applications).

2. scrolling is very smooth (on 20190411, scrolling became very choppy after several minutes of phone use after reboot).

3. mass file operations via ADB work fine now (the phone doesn't reboot anymore).

i'll report back in several days after more testing.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] needmypandora:
I can finally remove wake-lock app. Thank you. I will report if anything comes up.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] abelenki:
i used 20200103 the whole day. and the phone was stable, there were no reboots.

i'm trying to use built-in LED notifications lights instead of Light Flow (which doesn't work), so i got couple of questions:

1. is it possible to set custom LED colors in Settings / Apps & notifications / Notifications / Notification light? (currently it's set to 'Choosing colors automatically', and you can only change pulse length and speed).

2. there is no LED notification light for incoming SMS. is it possible to set it? (adding Messaging to Settings / Apps & notifications / Notifications / Notification light doesn't help).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ChronoMonochrome:
I didn't yet test anything related to LED notifications. I suppose I could mess up with this update, if that already worked in one of the previous builds - will have a look at that.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] abelenki:
i didn't test built-in settings for LED notifications before, but Notification Access option was there in 20190411 build. so Light Flow could successfully use it.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] duttyend:
First of all, thank you very much for your work and the great updates :good:!

Concerning the charging notification light bug, @sonic_sakthivel123 managed to fix it in his LineageOS 16 ROM (personally tested and confirmed to work). Could you apply the fix ?

He also states to have working GPS (haven't tested personally).

Thanks again and have a great day!

I'm the author of that fix.

I wasn't convinced the way it's fixed, so I was hoping there could be a cleaner way to re-implement it.

But it seems like I have apply that fix again.

There are currently no Android (8 / 9) based ROMs that have GPS Fix working, unfortunately.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] duttyend:
Thank you so much for your answer!

And congratulations for the fix, I didn't know you were the author, I'm sorry.

After 48h of usage as my daily driver, I have to say that you did a GREAT job! The ROM is almost perfect.

The main regression I've experienced is in regards to battery life : with the exact same usage and apps, it drains faster than sonic_sakthivel123's version. I don't know if it is related to the kernel (3.4 vs 3.0)...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] curiousrom:
You can't have "the exact same usage" a few hours apart on the same device unless you are a robot or use benchmarks.

Even then a few brightness % difference can have a big impact on battery as well as time of day and cell tower traffic, location, etc, etc.

You're right but I was on holiday and stayed at home those 2 days and didn't enable cell network (only WiFi). Anyway, it still is an acceptable power consumption.

So I read GPS in "Bugs list", but what is the exact issue.

I mean can I use navigation (with google maps) without any problems?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ChronoMonochrome:
Not really tested cause I'm not a big fan of google apps.

If anyone can test it, reporting it back could be helpful. So maybe it can work at least with Wifi or Mobile data enabled.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Reiner55Sch:
I cannot install it via TWRP. After "Checking for Digest file . . ." its says:

"Failed to map file " and "Error installation zip file"

What could I have done wrong?

Wiped my I9300 completely with exception of the TWRP recovery and transfered the file via adb into an directory on /sdcard.

1. test .zip file for integrity.

2. install latest TWRP (which is 3.3.1).

Also I reloaded it again to be sure.

I had already TWRP 3.3.1 loaded just yesterday .

What was the previous version of TWRP that you used?

I had problems with v3.3.1. I had to go back to v3.3.0.

use twrp 3.2....i already test the latest twrp and the installion error so i go back to twrp 3.2 :) hope it will help

Hmm, I started with 3.2.x in the begining and upgraded to 3.3.1 because of the error. but I will try again with 3.2.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] duttyend:
Did you try the newer 3.3.1 version published on January 9th 2020 ? link to official TWRP

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Smoover:
Hello. Using "twrp-3.3.0-0-i9300.img" I installed "lineage-16.0-20200103-UNOFFICIAL-i9300.zip", "open_gapps-arm-9.0-pico-20191221.zip" and "Magisk-v20.2.zip".

After using the ROM for some days I'd say that it's currently the best one for the S3. Fast UI, decent battery life, photo and video working, Bluetooth audio working, no crashes/reboots.

GPS works but takes a long time for a fix and had constant accuracy issues during my testing. I have not used the ROM with a SIM/mobile connection.

Wifi 5 GHz has the usual issues (only connects if device is right next to router, doesn't reconnect until restart. No improvement by wifi-fix-murata.zip).

Good day. I'm not sure whether this has been mentioned already, but the latest version of this ROM shows a battery level lower than the one reported by a 7.1 Nougat LOS ROM or even TWRP. The difference is of roughly 20 points percent. The battery is an original Samsung one for I9300.

Thanks for keeping the S3 alive. OEMs could learn a thing or two from you, but then they'd go bankrupt from everyone not changing their device.

My Exp 3.01.2020 i9300 PIE

Hi [MENTION=5695278]ChronoMonochrome[/MENTION] , Thanks for your great work for i9300 .

rom looks very smooth and stable ,

battery draining is not fast and it lasts long time .

i dnt knw how others GPS not work properly but my phones GPS works fine and fast in google maps web view .

LED charging indication doesn't work and i hope will be fixed by you in future updates .

i will be share my experience as soon as find new things ...

also please edit title of thread, the date is typed wrong : [3.12.2020]

[ROM][UNOFFICIAL][9.0.0] LineageOS 16.0 [BETA][3.12.2020]
[Galaxy S III Android Development] abelenki:
i hope, not. because LED charging light is the most annoying feature. if it's returned, at least, there should be a way to disable it.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ChronoMonochrome:
It's an intentional change. As a lot of batteries are discharging completely at 20-30%, better to adjust charge level accordingly. In the worst case scenario, the battery will just last longer than usually at 0%.

Thanks for confirming it to work, good to know it works at least for anyone.

Ok, I guess I could include it as an optional feature while keeping it disabled by default.

Thanks, I didn't notice that.

Even now, it took me a minute to realize what's wrong with the date :laugh:

MY EXP on PIE in i9300

This feature we are talking about is the one of a kind feature. many new phones did not have this . we have to appreciate samsung to added that for s3 .

Thank you man . the release date is corrected :laugh: :D:D

i installed this rom 2 days ago and charged battery full after that , 1 night with wifi and gps [On] battery lost 13 percent of power , other roms loose power of 50 percent or much more, i used it regularly and less and after 2 days still i have power and battery is 43 percent without entering charger . I want to say that

this rom's battery keeping is very good and when you keep it on stand by you can use it longer .

also i noticed that when your phone is ringing in your pocket or if you hold your finger on the proximity sens , the proximity sensor is activate by ringing phone , and this is the black screen that some guys talking about that . i hope you fix this too and delay the activation of proximity sensor after an answering the call and hold it near your ear .

I will be share my future experience if i will find anything new ...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] 0xSherlock:
That's a clever choice, thanks for explaining your rationale.

By the way, I noticed that the ROM supports signature spoofing out of the box, but there's currently no UI to grant the permission to selected apps, even if one could achieve this via "pm grant".

Do you plan to add a toggle in the future, or will you strip the spoofing altogether?

Moreover, the LED does seem to be turned off not only during charging, but even during normal operation, as in not blinking to notify. Notice that I said "seem", though, so don't take my word for it.

Edit: it appears that the kernel you picked doesn't support exFAT, as Android offered to format my card when opting to use it as portable storage, and it is now formatted as vFAT, which I assume to be a plain old FAT32.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ChronoMonochrome:
The thing is that the kernel switched back to 3.0.101, I should have considered it earlier, as any newer kernels just works much worse on this hardware for some reasons.

I should mention, it's not my work, it's taken from S2 kernel (the authorship of the currently used kernel and this patch belongs to [MENTION=2222292]rINanDO[/MENTION]).

Thanks for the observation!

Earlier, I didn't really had a chance to test the proximity sensor, cause of a faulty motherboard, now that I also have Note 2, I could just test this sensor here. It seems to be a good idea to go with the sensors code from LOS 14.1, the problem is I can't currently make both proximity and compass working (there are two sensors lib implementations, one from LOS and the second from the Replicant, both of which has some pros and cons to consider).

I didn't consider adding an UI patch to activate this, since I thought it's only usable for the microG (which IIRC already has such an option).

Are there other usage cases besides of microG?

I don't currently have a way to test this out myself, and as I was already aware that there were some difficulties while porting exFAT to 3.0.101 discovered in S2 thread, I've just decided to opt out of exFAT for now. I might re-visit this in the future.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] 0xSherlock:
Not that I know of, but microG doesn't automatically get the permission to spoof its signature with your modification and it doesn't include a means to request it, thus the only way to grant the permission at the moment is via "pm grant".
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Slayerrider:
If I insert a sim card i get an error: sim card is disabled, enter puk. But in other phones the sim card works.

Someone experiences the same problem?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] deentky:
[MENTION=3381840]Slayerrider[/MENTION] Yes, I experienced. In every Pie ROM I've ever tested.

Two solutions worked for me:

1) Typing your PIN very, very, very slowly (sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't)

2) Disable SIM PIN checking, with another phone (the best solution).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] dasmith:
>>Thanks for confirming GPS to work, good to know it works at least for anyone.

I confirm: GPS also works on a global, factory SIM lock free i9300 I've tested on.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ChronoMonochrome:
Hmm, I think the PIN unlock doesn't work here. If the phone would try to unlock the SIM, it would fail (then it would retry several times and finally lock the SIM). A workaround is to skip the faulty PIN unlock and avoid the SIM lock (credits goes to rINanDO).

So the solution is to PIN unlock the SIM on another phone, as already suggested.

[MENTION=2222292]rINanDO[/MENTION], do I understand correctly how it works?

GPS *not* working

Hello alltogether,

GPS does not work on my device. Signal is found when phone is started, but after a short time of usage signal gets lost. Tested with navigation app "Osmand", but also with GPS Status.

Only difference between using mobile data for high precision and usage without a SIM card is that with SIM signal is found faster - but it gets lost too.

Remark 1

: did a full clean install of 2020-01.-03 (format of system and data) and TWRP 3.3.1 (works for me).

Remark 2

: GPS worked with Android 8

Remark 3

: behaviour is the same as is has been in the 2019-04-release
