Thanks, disabling the pin works for me.

I am using a other unofficial lineageos Android 9 on a note 4 and there are no problems with the sim pin!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rINanDO:
Hi, almost correct. The newly introduced pin unlock behaviour expects a number of retry attempts when pin null was send to the RIL. The RIL/radio doesn't support this and just tries to unlock with pin null. Unlock attempted used... And it retries because the request failed. And again and oops.. Puk code needed... In my shim I simulate the pin null returning the number 3 so the phone tells the user that he has 3 unlock attempts left. And decrease after each failed unlock attempt (pin != null)

Hello together,

I did a fresh install of the latest ROM version. It seems all to be working, but I'm experiencing a really massive battery drain (every 5 min 1 %). How can I fix it?

It happens even if Wi-FI is disabled.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] gonbad:
switch off

hi , Switch OFF anything you do not need always On , like NFC & GPS & vibrate by touch and type ,key sounds when typing & . . .

also try using your phone by battery saving mode.

Good luck

Hi Mr. [MENTION=5695278]ChronoMonochrome[/MENTION]

The solution fixes black call screen when incoming call

Add the code attached image to "Device.mk"
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ChronoMonochrome:
Hey, thanks for the effort!

I will test it whenever I have a chance to.

Meanwhile, can anyone confirm that the proximity sensor works in the latest build?

It can be tested with any app showing the proximity sensor state.

There was a suggestion to do anything like adding a delay when proximity sensor starts during the call - trying to figure out if it's still necessary at all.

Can't test it myself due to broken sensor.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sbasstik:
I can confirm that it works. Tested with proximity Sensor test APP from playstore. Background color changes and APP says proximity Sensor has sensed something when i wave my Hand across the sensor

Galaxy 3 i9300 upgrade from LOS 14.1

lineage-16.0-20200103-UNOFFICIAL-i9300

thank you for your great work!

I discovered following issues:

- country prefix is not added when dialing a local number from the dialpad screen

- camera shows poor quality when zooming & camera app crashes when advanced settings (resolution) are selected
[Galaxy S III Android Development] walteweiss:
Played around with the ROM for a couple of hours. Overall it works smoothly. But there are bugs.

- When I tried to set colours theme as black, system hanged. Then I force shut down it, and the black theme remained.

- Syncthing kills the system, so it reboots. Every single time I start the app. It shows loading screen for a second or two and then system gets into reboot, tried it like 20 times: reboots, no exceptions. Tried earlier version, no difference. Syncthing works fine on Android 8.1 on another phone, and worked fine on this very phone, on Official LOS 14.1. Few other apps that I use work without any problems.

May that be the aforementioned

Hello [MENTION=5695278]ChronoMonochrome[/MENTION]

I was thinking of using this rom with MicroG instead of Gapps

What programs are achieved Security, Anti-Spy & No Bloatware Focused with this Rom

I know that you are not interested in user programs that are far from building rom, but through your programming experience, will the rom work well, or will other problems arise?

I want to thank you for the great challenge you do, and you prove that there is no impossible in the world of programming :good:

I apologize for the bad English

Great rom [MENTION=5695278]ChronoMonochrome[/MENTION],

Just one question guys, I'm experiencing really slow speeds while using wifi 2.4ghz band. 5ghz is just fine. Speed goes down to 5mbps and its useless. I found this fix WiFi Bug Fix here: http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1852323

Can this be flashed with this rom please???

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ChronoMonochrome:
Unfortunately, I haven't been using MicroG for a long time for anything besides of Youtube Vanced. Maybe anyone else knows if the main MicroG functionality is working here as well.

Have no clues. Never had to flash any fixes, though the wifi signal is almost never enough strong due to the hardware issues.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] duttyend:
MicroG is working great on this ROM!

I am using it with Magisk (microg installer module) and EdXposed (fakeGapps module)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SethGeckoXDA:
This problem is known on many LineageOS devices. Solution is to disable Google's NearbyMessagingService like this.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ChronoMonochrome:
I'm not a huge fan of Google apps, so didn't have this one... Think the issue of the weak wifi signal is the very common amongst S3 devices.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] davpod:
Thanks for your reply [MENTION=8085537]SethGeckoXDA[/MENTION],

I tried the link you provided. How do you go about this exactly? I downloaded a zip from that link. I tried to flash it but unable to flash (installation aborted). Do you need to actually paste that file somewhere?

Thanks a lot.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SethGeckoXDA:
Yes. The commit I linked, of course, only fixes the slow download speed on 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi. No idea about the weak signal issue.

You can't fix it yourself. The fix has to be applied before building the ROM. So, just wait until ChronoMonochrome releases a new build.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ChronoMonochrome:
Oh, nevermind, thanks for the hint, by the way.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] ChronoMonochrome:
It didn't work (as reported by other dev who also tried adding these changes in LOS 16.0 build).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Smoover:
I'm running "lineage-16.0-20200208-UNOFFICIAL-i9300.zip", dirty installed over "lineage-16.0-20200103-UNOFFICIAL-i9300.zip" with "open_gapps-arm-9.0-pico-20200208.zip".

GPS gets a fix within seconds even in urban areas. However, sensor data is missing which prevents all navigation I tested. As shown on the attached screenshots no data for "magnetic field", "orientation" and "rotation vector" is coming in. Only the tilt values are available (U61R04 in the last screenshot for "up" 61°, "rolled right" 4°). The value for "mag field" remains unchanged (0?49/3°).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] josch85:
I had a look at the sources and I think that the source code is not the correct one for this sensor. The sources used (according to i9300 manifest) are this one: https://github.com/CustomROMs/android_device_samsung_i9300/tree/lineage-16.0/libsensors. If you compare it with the one from the similar Galaxy S2 here: https://github.com/rINanDO/android_device_samsung_i9100/tree/lineage-16.0/libsensors and the old i9300 sources for CM-14.1 here: https://github.com/LineageOS/android_device_samsung_i9300/tree/cm-14.1/libsensors you might see that this could be the root cause for the issue.

Perhaps ChronoMonochrome can explain it.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ChronoMonochrome:
With the LOS 14.1 sensors sources that use a proprietary blob, the magnetic sensor doesn't work.

It looks like, however, currently used source code, is also working a somewhat iffy.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] m4v3r0ne:
Impressive

Hello, I just wanted to say thanks for this very impressive update.

I've been tooling around with basically all availabe LOS16 derivatives and I found CrDroid 5.5 to meet most of my needs. However, it still had some quirks like random reboots after which sound wouldn't work etc., yet I still used it as a daily driver for like half a year.

But now this one seems like a keeper. Only thing so far is the charging light but I can live with that.

Not a single reboot, no apps crashed on me yet and YES, even hotspot is finally working- TY so much for that.

Didn't even have to apply the WiFi fix, only the lowaudio fix as with all other 16-based ROMs (not sure if this might be a problem only with my specific device, though...)

I'll report back after using it for a while. Thanks again.

kind regards
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ghostexterminator:
ROM is super smooth, almost OEM but battery drain is real and somehow after updating to build #6 NFC become disabled - the switch is greyed out, even when i try to reflash to build #5 the NFC is no more. Previously when i first flash build #5 NFC is working fine but now it doesn't.

When i try to update from build #5 to #6 dirty flashing doesn't work. it will succeed and will boot, but then you cannot go past the lockscreen. The SystemUI would crash, then the lockscreen showsup, you swipe/enter pin/pattern and SystemUI would crash again and so on. I solve this by clean install the new build.

Also on build #6 if you enable advanced restart and try to reboot to recovery directly from the power menu it will bootloop (it will try to enter twrp, fail, reboot, and so on until you remove the battery) if this happens just flash stock rom, enter twrp then restore/install again.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] m4v3r0ne:
Hey there, regarding battery drain, give it some time, a couple days and maybe do a calibration cycle. I don't think it's too bad with this new version compared to other ROMs.

About your systemUI crashing I can imagine it's trying to load the "Pixel Launcher" home which doesn't work in this ROM. Try presssing the home button and you should get a choice between Pixel and Trebuchet home apps, use the latter.

The last thing you mentioned with the bootloop, I don't have that. No problems using the advanced menu to go to Recovery etc.

Clean install. ,)

How to edit tweaks.rc without root

I'm tired of my banking app failing because of root, and don't want the hassle of hide/unhide root etc..

Besides, the phone is fine without it.

This guide was created using Windows machine. For linux users the process is more or less the same.

1. Go Here, download ADB and install it.

2. Reboot your device to recovery> mount> mount system (make sure system box is checked)

3. Connect your device to PC/laptop using DATA cable

4. For the sake of simplicity, create a folder in drive C (or any drive of your liking) and name it "los"

4. Open cmd, type:

adb pull /system/vendor/etc/init/tweaks.rc C:\los

(Change C:\ with whatever drive your los folder is on). For example los folder in D, then:

adb pull /system/vendor/etc/init/tweaks.rc D:\los

5. Open los folder, you will find tweaks.rc file that you can open with notepad. i recommend notepad ++ as it will be easier to edit than your regular notepad.

6. For led charging light, remove # in front of the code like so:

#write /sys/module/leds_an30259a/parameters/led_switch 1
write /sys/module/leds_an30259a/parameters/led_switch 1

anything that you want to enable you just need to remove # in front of the code.

7. Finally, save the tweaks.rc file. After that, type:

adb push C:\los\tweaks.rc /system/vendor/etc/init

and watch your tweaks.rc file flying.

8. Done! Reboot your device and check if the charging led is on when you charge.

PS:

-If you get "couldn't create file: Read-only file system" when pushing then your system isn't mounted. make sure system box is checked in mount.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] eriol1:
There's also the built-in terminal app, you could use that to access the file and edit it using vim or nano, both of which seem to be included by default. All directly on the phone with no need for a computer or extra apps.

A little tricky because it's all command line, but there's plenty of info available online and if you don't yet know how to use the terminal it's a good place to start. Useful knowledge...

So I played with this ROM 3.01.2020 - build #5 for almost a month, and while overall it works, more or so (Syncthing crashes my system though, of which I posted before), the battery life is absolutely miserable.

Battery life is awful

I use my phone as a bedtime phone with Wi-Fi being turned off most of the time and just a couple of extra apps installed. Those are: F-Droid for store, Librera Pro for books, Yatse remote controller for my Kodi HTPC, Markor for some notes, that's it. No Google Service, no MicroG, nothing extra. The battery lasts about a day or so. With the Official Lineage OS 14.1 it could stay a week, with Wi-Fi being turned off. Or days with Wi-Fi being turn on, with similar setup, a bit more complicated tasks and Google Play Services installed and used.

This ROM, when I turn on Wi-Fi drains battery within HOURS, while again: I have no Google apps, and just a few extra apps, none of which is anything internet-related: Librera Pro just reads epub files for me, with no Advertisement to download, Markor is for offline notes, and Yatse is to control a player on a local network, nothing more. I can uninstall all the extra apps just to confirm this, if anyone is interested, I'm pretty sure the battery drain will stay the same. The phone is still useable for me though, just because it's a throwaway phone I don't care about, and I need no Wi-Fi for it to be on, and I am quite used to charge phones daily anyways. But I think this should be a major NO to anyone, who plans to use this phone with this ROM for anything bigger than what I've described.

I am going to dirt install the newer version (8.02.2020), and if the Syncthing would work for me, I'll stick with it, if it's still doesn't and the issue is not the gralloc / ION bug, but something else then I'm going all-in with this boy: [ROM][UNOFFICIAL][10.0.0] LineageOS 17.1 [ALPHA][8.02.2020] which was mentioned here.

Besides the battery drain issue and SELinux being disabled, it's nice to see the phone being updated, especially the Android 10 thread.

[MENTION=5695278]ChronoMonochrome[/MENTION] is there a way I can help with testing, besides the aforementioned Reporting bugs?

---------- Post added at 12:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:52 AM ----------

Did the install, just copied zip to the /sdcard and flashed it with adb. Did nothing else, no cleaning Dalvik, Cache, data (should I?). The ROM works as before, maybe a bit slower, haven't noticed anything else so far.

Am going to try out Android 10.

Nice that it works for YOU. But for me, it is also not working really good with the battery. With Stock Rom, the device was running 5-7 days without charging. Now since i use LOS it got worse. With 14.1 it survives about 2.5-3 days. With LOS 15/16 only 1 day, if at all.

Wifi Hidden Network - SIM Card Problem

In LineageOS 16.0 the solution to "cannot connect to hidden network" is in the Wi-Fi panel: Settings > Network & internet > Wi-Fi > + Add network > Advanced options > scroll all the way down to > Hidden network > select Yes.

If it's your home network that you set to hidden maybe you could read these:

Why SSID Hiding is Not Secure

Network cloaking - Wikipedia

Hidden network does not add any security at all.

There are many apps that can see them & try to hack them.

You are actually painting a target on your network if you "hide" it because that makes hackers curious about it.

It's better to blend in the crowd & use a strong password.

***

Did you try the SIM in an other phone?

Did you check your network provider's recommended APN settings & in LineageOS 16.0 > Setting > Network & internet > Mobile network > Advanced panel > scroll down to Access Point Names. You can long press an APN's name to edit or 3-dots > New APN.

After you edit the APN > 3-dots > the options are Delete APN, Save & Discard.

What is your baseband/modem/radio?

In LineageOS 16.0: Settings > About phone > press on Android version 9 > Baseband version.

Try installing the most recent modem for the S3 i9300 and while you are at it get the Most Recent S3 i9300 Bootloader: I9300XXUGPE1
