[General Questions and Answers] Vishal_sai:
I've been experiencing some random reboots from last week in my device after the MIUI 12.5.2 update however they were not very annoying so I ignored them but yesterday I tried to install an apk,my device restarted on its own instantly and again it just randomly reboots on its own along with random reboots only more frequently in last 2 days.

SO THE MAIN PROBLEM IS AROUND INSTALLING APK ALONG WITH RANDOM REBOOTS.

I have tried clearing cache for various apps + rebooted device many times manually + Removed Themes + Cleared 4-5 GB Data but nothing works. Pls help me before I throw out my phone :/

did a search, and the only thing i could pull up was a topic from 2 years ago w/ no replies....but as the title states, i have WMP running on my WM 6.1 tilt, and whenever i go to fullscreen it rotates clockwise instead of counter clockwise. i tried messing around w/ the screen setup, but nothing is helping. weird thing is it never did this when i was running WM6, but started once i upgraded to the at&t wireless official 6.1 rom. any suggestions?

Hi! Maybe LineageOS website have a typo? I have Samsung Galaxy S III NEO and in system information it shows model [s3ve3gxx]. In service menu it shows Samsung camera.

By LineageOS info I should have Sony camera. Who should I believe?

Hi,

wondering what TWRP version works with this. I had troubles with backup & restore by using twrp-3.3.1-1-s3ve3g on LineageOS 17.1 and struggled to make it work, see:

https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-official-discontinued-10-lineageos-17-1-for-s3-neo.4223003/post-84974693

Edit:

Just noticed the there's a new twrp-3.6.0_9-0-s3ve3g.img for S3 Neo officially available at:

Download TWRP for s3ve3g

Has anyone tested this with LineageOS 18.1 ? I'm more intersted in properly handling the partitions and the backup & restore procedure.

I have some WiFi issues. 2.4ghz is slow and sometimes S3 is not connecting.

Update: it's strange behaviour, certain apps say that phone is not connected to internet while others are working fine at the same moment.

Anyone else facing this?
[Galaxy S3 Neo Original Android Development] mariocaraf:
do you have the latest bootloader?, it is recommended to have the latest firmware, for example Greek firmware:

samsung sensor:

COS-I9301IXCUARA1-Firmware Halabtech.zip

drive.google.com

sony sensor:

you can also have hardware problems, right?

in the house we have 2 s3 neo one sony the other samsung, no problem,with los 18.1.

I'm having these issues since I updated to 18.1.

5Ghz only sees one of my APs and 2.4GHz is sloooww and always dropping

Also my baseband is: I9301IXXUAPG1
[Galaxy S3 Neo Original Android Development] redblur07:
WOW this one is not working for me either. Every time phone starts, it goes up until setup wizard and then restarts. I've tried reinstalling again but still same problem.

Here's what I did

- did factory reset

- wiped dalvik/system/data/internal storage/cache/preload

- installed s3ve3gjv version

- rebooted to recovery (to keep twrp)

- rebooted to system

My TWRP version is above 3.0.0 (the latest one).

Why could I be experiencing this problem. Both this and Android 12 ROM are giving the exact same problem. But when flash LineageOS android 10 s3ve3gjv image, I experience no problem. What should I do?
[Galaxy S3 Neo Original Android Development] helloyello:
I can confirm the issues reported with the WiFi connectivity on both 2,4GHz & 5 GHz and I presume it's a driver issue that was not addressed properly.

I'm not getting disconnected, and the signal strength is pretty stable, but as soon as the phone enters standby(doze) while connected on WiFi, when waking up, the connection is broken. It still looks connected, and can disable WiFi & reconnect on both networks, but after the WiFi handshake, the phone RX is broken - doesn't receive packets & doesn't answer to pings. A reboot helps as workaround. And, everything is working ok if you avoid standby during WiFi connectivity.

I tested all this on an OpenWRT router with tcpdump & ping.

I also remember some discussions in the LOS16 thread, where the devs said that they needed to disable power saving on the WiFi, because the driver is messed up. Maybe this should be also done in LOS 18.1.

Some other LOS18.1 observations - experiences:

- apart from the WiFi issue, it looks solid

- there's still the persistent (LOS16/LOS17) bug with BT & WiFi (2,4GHz only) not able to coexist (turned on and in use), WiFi get's disconnected if a BT Headset is used. I guess it's a driver/firmware issue.

- the new TWRP 3.6.0 works OK - get it from:

Finally, I made a TWRP full backup of my LOS18.1 installation (a lot of work for the configuration) and reverted to LOS 17.1 (TWRP backup).

I'm considering LOS 18.1 broken and would be thankful if the devs take some time to look into the WiFi issue and fix it.

Phone running extremely slow it's almost unusable on this ROM and optimization is bad.
[Galaxy S3 Neo Original Android Development] asaf400:
EDIT: SOLVED

Hello,

I have installed latest build (20220425) for my

Samsung Sensor (s3ve3gjv) and I do not have any camera app,

Device Info HW has reported both cameras are from Samsung, the ROM works well, except there is no camera app, and even Whatsapp can't initialize it.

I have installed MindTheGaaps version (11.0.0-arm-20210212_145641), right after flashing the ROM in recovery, setup wizard went smoothly..

Which Camera app do you use, and how?

In settings app --> Installed Apps list, I can see 'Camera', but there is no launcher icon for it..

package name: org.lineageos.snap

version: 2.02.082 (0188f6d9ec-30)

( I'll also post on lineage support, and see if they have an insight )

Edit: Just found this, might be the same issue, I didn't test camera on first boot,

I'll try and install snap from 17.1:

Camera app (org.lineageos.snap) disappears after fresh installation of most recent LineageOS nightlies (#4295) · Issues · LineageOS / issues / android · GitLab

Expected Behavior Lineage camera app should remain at bottom of launcher screen and should also be accessible from apps drawer.

gitlab.com

Edit #2: I clean flashed 17.1 for the Sony Sensor (s3ve3gxx),

without installing MindTheGaaps, and camera app showed up, and both cams are working fine..

I'm unsure if the issue was that I actually have the Sony sensor S3 Neo, while software reported Samsung sensors,

or if installing MindTheGaaps after flashing the ROM caused the camera app to now show up at all..

in between, I did install 17.1 for Samsung Sensor but I also installed MindTheGaaps in the flash session..

Edit #3: It seems it was the ROM, even though Method #4 of the Samsung vs Sony thread reported I have 2 Samsung sensors, only the Sony Sensor ROM shows camera icon for me, while Samsung Sensor ROM didn't, Also note I am now on Lineage 17.1, because I dont mind staying a bit behind, and I dont have any more time to fiddle with flashing 18.1 Sony and testing it..

[Galaxy S3 Neo Original Android Development] Joska Pista:
Hello!

I have a problem: I just upgraded to 18.1 from 16 (thank goodness all my software and almost all of my settings are succesfuly migrated). Now Magisk is not working. The app is installed but it says Magisk itself needs to be installed, from Recovery mode. Now for the upgrade I had to replace TWRP recovery to LOS recovery wich is only good for OS upgrade and nothing else. TWRP comes in an .img file, wich could be installed in from Recovery mode, but not from LOS Recovery. I have AFWall+ installed wich needs superuser rights wich it now hasn't so it doesn't work and I have no internet connection.

So I really need to get Magisk to work for wich I probably also need to get back TWRP Recovery.
[Galaxy S3 Neo Original Android Development] Joska Pista:
Another thing I could not find the setting for: on LOS 16 there was a feature that when I long pressed the back button it quit from any open app. It was very useful. Now it is gone and I can't find a setting to make it work.
[Galaxy S3 Neo Original Android Development] steve8x8:
I'm wondering how you managed to upgrade from 16.0 to 18.1 without TWRP... this doesn't sound like a clean flash to me.

In any case, you may flash TWRP, at least temporarily, using Odin (Windows - needs the .img.tar!) or Heimdall (macos, Linux - takes the .img), then (by using the buttons!!!) reboot into TWRP, install Magisk, then replace the recovery.
[Galaxy S3 Neo Original Android Development] Joska Pista:
I managed to upgrade (more like downgrade) by using the Lineage Recovery, becouse they strongly recommended using that. When I installed that, it replaced the TWRP but all it does is supporting the upgrade of the OS. It doesn't let you do anything else. It is a really bad recovery.

I managed to get the .img.tar version of the installer - it wasn't easy and I had to factory reset my phone to be able to connect to the internet and install stuff. But now I'm even more screwed becouse all my softwares and settings are lost and I can't recover them becouse my backup has been made with TWRP wich I can't put back on my device.

I couldn't replace the recovery even with the .img.tar version becouse Odin didn't detect my device. I still can't root my phone with Magisk becouse it requires some nonexistent .img file to patch.
[Galaxy S3 Neo Original Android Development] Joska Pista:
Also I found the option to close running apps with long pressing the "Back" button - it was very well hidden.

But I really don't like what they did with the restart menu: they had put the buttons into two menus ("Turn off" and "Reset") and now I have to tap twice instead of just once to do the same thing.
[Galaxy S3 Neo Original Android Development] Joska Pista:
This "upgrade" essentially bricked my phone. I can't root it, becouse Magisk requires some nonexistant .img file to patch, and I can't install Magisk from recovery, becouse Lineage Rcovery only allows Lineage OS upgrades and nothing else. Most of my favorite apps require root permissions to work properly so they will never work properly.

I tried sideloading TWRP back in download mode with Odin (had to try it on a different computer becouse it didn't detect my device on my usual machine), it said it was succesful, and the phone still booted into Lineage Recovery. How could they entrench their stupid recovery so well that not even Odin can overwrite it? And so I can revert this update becouse their recovery only allows forward updates.

The only thing that remains to me now, sort of ditching the phone, is to bring it to a service. Maybe they could remove the inner flash drive and hard format it or perhaps replace it with a larger and faster one. I would spend as much as 30 €-s on it, becouse I have replacement batteries for the phone and I had a well known and well liked system on it before.

I "upgraded" to 18.1 becouse I had some minor issues and I thought it will have better software compatibilities and perhaps better support becouse it is now the official branch. Also I was sure I could just easily revert it if I don't like it. Well, software support is equal, and the OS works worse, not better than the old one, with a much worse reboot menu. And I'm stuck with it becouse of this recovery. And as for the support, I got only one reply in 2,5 days and even that wasn't helpful.
[Galaxy S3 Neo Original Android Development] mariocaraf:
After installing twrp you have to remove the battery then reinsert It and enter in recovery otherwise the previous recovery Always appears
[Galaxy S3 Neo Original Android Development] Joska Pista:
A warning to everyone:

DO NOT INSTALL LINEAGE RECOVERY!!!

You will get stuck with it and it locks your phone into Lineage forward updates! You won't be able to install any other firmware, any other recovery, or to revert changes!
[Galaxy S3 Neo Original Android Development] Joska Pista:
Thank you, this was the first and only helpful reply I got! I will try that next time I will get access to that other computer., and then post the results.
[Galaxy S3 Neo Original Android Development] Joska Pista:
UPDATE:

So I reinstalled the drivers on my computer and now Odin worked. I managed to now install back TWRP (thanks mariocarf, you saved me with that!) and I let it restore my backup - but it got stuck in boot and I got back into recovery mode! So I got back a LOS 16 package from my Recycle bin (I thought I won't need it again), I don't even know why I have saved it back than on my computer but good thing I did becouse it now can't be downloaded from anywhere, they delete all old builds, and it's from 2020. August 20., so one of the latest updates. (Maybe the last patch is from November - oh well!)

So I adb sideloaded that package - and it still got stuck in boot!

So now it seems that I will have to reinstall the Lineage Recovery to install back my LOS (I hope I can get back the LOS 16), then reinstall TWRP with ODIN so that I can use the recovery for anything else but OS updates (why can't they allow to install .img and .zip files from their recovery?), then hopefuly root my device again... Probabaly redo all my settings again, altrough I did a software backup with APP Info too.

All that hassle just to be able to use my phone again. Yeah, I was kind of stupid thinking I could just revert if I don't like the changes. It's a phone and not a PC after all...
[Galaxy S3 Neo Original Android Development] Joska Pista:
Okay, now I'm really screwed. I reinstalled Lineage Recovery, and it says it cannot locate Lineage OS (yes, that's why I'm trying to install it in the first place!). And the only options it gives is either to perform a fatory reset or to try again - in both cases it reboots into the OS (and gets stuck in boot loop).

Now my phone is really a soft brick with nothing but recovery and download mode. Now what do I do? Look for a different OS? I kind of liked Lineage...

How can people migrate from stock firmware to Lineage if the prequisite to installing Lineage is now to have it in the first place?
[Galaxy S3 Neo Original Android Development] mariocaraf:
I have never used lineage recovery, twrp is fine, but you have to update it to version 3.6.0, and have the latest bootloader, important for the latest versions of lineage, and after installation do the format data from recovery.
[Galaxy S3 Neo Original Android Development] Joska Pista:
Even that wasn't that simple. Odin got stuck in checking the file when I tried to flash with the newest img.tar. So I had to use the 3.3 for flashing. Then I thought it was good enough. So maybe I was wrong. So now I flashed again with the 3.3 and then installed the .img there for the 3.6. Now I will try to restore the backup again. But now my battery is on very low power and I have no charge controller, so now I have another problem. I will figure it out, maybe I have a replacement battery somewhere.
[Galaxy S3 Neo Original Android Development] steve8x8:
This may contain some truth for Samsung phones.

For other phones, capable of fastboot, it's not true at all.

Also re: TWRP versions: I've found that backups written with one version sometimes cannot be used with a different version.
[Galaxy S3 Neo Original Android Development] mariocaraf:
after installing lineage the internal memory is encrypted, and restoring a twrp backup when you get to data twrp crashes, after the first boot, go back to recovery, and in wipe choose format data, type yes, and ok, then restore the backup.
[Galaxy S3 Neo Original Android Development] Joska Pista:
Mariocaraf, you are a Godsend! You saved my phone! With the replacement battery I could restore my backup and checked it and everything works! Magisk works and every app that needs SU rights gets it. So for example Afwall+ now works. I did not check every single app but probably they all work too, and if not, I can just reinstall them. Only ACCA crashed, but I didn't like it that much anyway, so it might be a good riddance.

You also always replied very quickly and had always useful tips. Thanks for your help buddy!
[Galaxy S3 Neo Original Android Development] mariocaraf:
unfortunately in Italy they are turning off the 3g, and soon I will have to throw the phone, because it does not have the 4g, sigh ..
[Galaxy S3 Neo Original Android Development] Joska Pista:
Maybe you can try an S5 Neo, it's probably quite cheap nowdays and has a much better hardware than the S3 Neo. Seedvault can probably transfer your settings betwean phone types. Or there are a few new Motorola phones with replacable batteries. They are on the low end hardware, but they are also not very expensive for that type.
[Galaxy S3 Neo Original Android Development] Joska Pista:
[FEATURE REQUEST]

I would like to have the reatart menu of the LOS 16 back, it was perfect, and the new menu is is much worse.

I also would like to have the options for Recovery mode and Download mode enabled by default.

Also the long tap of the back button should quit the running app by default.
[Galaxy S3 Neo Original Android Development] Joska Pista:
Yeah well, the thing is that you have to use Odin and fastboot to install another recovery. Even the Lineage Recovery has to be installed from TWRP, becouse it does not allow .img installs. Neighter .apk installs for that matter.
[Galaxy S3 Neo Original Android Development] steve8x8:
The same has happened in Germany before - still the Neo gets sold for rather high prices, so there must be use cases for it ;)

For LTE and small form factor and at least LOS 18.1, I'm a fan of the S4mini (the I9195 variant has got LTE). Can be had at about the same price.

Look for restart apps - I've even seen one on FDroid if you're not into Google too much. You won't even need the power button for that.

The long back tap can be configured in the settings (even outside of dev options now). If everyone would get their personal preferences merged into LOS defaults ...

[Galaxy S3 Neo Original Android Development] Joska Pista:
You don't need an app for that. On LOS 16 the reboot menu is perfect, on 18.1 you still have the option to reboot into Recovery or Download mode but it is turned off by default and you have to enable it in settings. And also they gave Reboot a different menu so you have to tap twice instead of once.
