I use LA18.1 as my main rom, and last 1.5 days test this LA19. After 1.5 days i got back for 18.1 and now can tell you about my experience of using it.

First of all, I would like to thank the html6405, LA19 is really no alfa, but a full-fledged betta: everything works in this rom (BT calls did not check). First day i doesnt detect any bugs, but after 1.5 days of hard using this rom(calls, bt, gps navigation, istallign apps, ...) some glitches from time to time was detected. Android 12 UI is more convenient then android 11 - interface is more interactive and balanced. But due to bugs, I had to return to 18.1.

Some observations:

1) The phone is hotter than on 18.1. Some simple operations and I already feel that the phone has warmed up, although on 18.1 it only warmed up for resource-intensive operations. Quite often, the processor heats up to 90 degrees. Once it was 93.

2) Battery. The operating time in my experience is about 2.5 screen hours. For comparison, on 18.1 it was 3.5+ hours. At the night It took ~12-15% of the battery. In 18.1 it about 7%.

3) Barcode scanning worked perfect, like on 18.1. I used "rate&goods" app for testing.

4) Quick launch of the camera by 2x pressing the power button at the beginning did not work. You need to go into the settings, turn this option off and switch on again and everything will work.

5) If you activate screen recording, the phone will work very slowly.

6) I was unable to launch my banking app(sberbank online) - it freezes at the entrance

7) The brightness of the screen basically works more or less correct, but several times it was not got react on light ambience from night, or not getting low in the night.

8) It seemed to me that graphics processing is more slower then on 18.1. Due to the scrolling of pages in the browser firefox, it slows down, especially when the page has not yet loaded. Browser starts and reacts slowly. The interface of android also sometimes gets microfreezes, but it's not often.

9) Several times it happened that inside some application the volume buttons did not work. Perhaps the system is too busy with the current operation and simply does not have time to process the volume click, because other time i got an delay with button pressing.

10) Close application via long press back button doesnt work

11) Once, I turned off wifi, and mobile data transfer did not switched on. Internet was not working. No any manipulation solve this problem. Reboot helped and mobile data switched on.

12) One time i got the bug: the interface began to work very slowly in the list of running applications, and switching between applications also was with long delay. Reboot helped.

13) BT works exactly the same as on 18.1: it falls off from time to time.

Any way, as i say, los 19 looks almost stable.

If html6405 want get any system dump, please, send me message and i will send it for you.

p.s. sorry for english :)

Works I just tested original camera works good - review will be up in some minutes
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Minao-tan:
Hello, @html6405! I can't thank you enough for supporting a device as old as the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and breathing fresh life into it. It's mindblowing to me that I can now use it like a modern device!

But I have a few questions and I would really appreciate if you could answer them.

Is it possible to deliver future updates via OTA? I believe you mentioned that it is, but how soon could you implement this? Flashing a device is a daunting process for me and repeating it and migrating all my apps and settings every time would be very stressful.

Would it be possible to integrate the Google Monet Color Engine that @michaelmelita1 mentioned in this post of his? To be honest, I thought it's an integral part of Android 12, so I was very surprised to learn that it isn't included in your Custom Rom.

Do you happen to know if MHL video output is possible on this device? I know that this is a bit off-topic, but I couldn't find any information on the internet whether or not this even ever worked on any CFW. All I could find out is that MHL video output is managed by drivers that were never open sourced. Despite that, I found one mention that it supposedly worked on some device with LineageOS up until Android 7.1 Nougat, which was also supposedly the last official version of Android that supported MHL video output.

Thank you so much again!
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] michaelmelita1:
The monet engine isn’t the official one. I suspect this will be added to the mainline lineage 19.0 rom at some point so we’ll just have to wait for that. I don’t think it’s something that html would add to the base rom as it requires magisk among other things which have never been included.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] googlephoneFKLenAsh:
If MHL is working, we can use the phone as an Android tv console. I guess it would be too much work because MHL driver is closed sourced and MHL is deprecated.

Or can we get usb 3.0 directly to HDMI output working and not use MHL protocol? The Galaxy note 3 actually has USB 3.0, which should support USB to HDMI hardware-wise. If so, we just need an usb 3.0 to usb type C adapter and then usb type C to HDMI cable, or use an USB 3.0 to HDMI cable to output video.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] 120503:
It's "CHU", I have two second-hand N9002, really want LOS for them. They are running mokee 8.1 now, many bugs.

Several months ago I found this, https://github.com/LineageOS/android_device_samsung_h3gduoschn, but I have no idea how to "make" ROMs.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Minao-tan:
Oh, so that's the reason. So I was right all along, it wasn't officially included in the mainline roms either. But what is that version then? Is it a fan project by someone who couldn't wait?

I always wondered: Why is it so difficult to just port closed source drivers to newer versions of Android? Is it so difficult? A post from 2011 that I just came across claimed that AOSP on the Samsung Galaxy Nexus has had "full HDMI support".

Also, I never heard about USB 3.0 having HDMI support baked in. Is that really the case? It would be awesome if that would work out for older models and give them video output retrospectively.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] michaelmelita1:
It’s a custom version of the engine developed by kdragon. I don’t know enough about it to comment further though.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] html6405:
I've pushed every update also via OTA.

https://review.lineageos.org/q/topic:twelve-monet

Wait for my future updates ;).

Thats the problem for most devices, it's not possible > Android 7 because samsung won't publish their proprietary sources.

This is a good information, I can compare the kernel configs and will build you a test kernel.

Samsung didn't answere my inquiry so far.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Minao-tan:
I wanted to have a go at installing your port of LineageOS, but I noticed that the instructions you're linking to are explicitly for the "Samsung Galaxy Note 2 LTE". Did you mean to link a different tutorial, or can we safely use this one for the Note 3 as well?

Also, from the tutorial:

Since Heimdall is multi-platform, can't I use it on Windows for the flash too?

It's basically my first time installing a custom firmware, so I just want to make sure.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] html6405:
This can be used for the Note 3, you only have to use the correct files.

Sure.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Minao-tan:
After using the Note 3 for a bit, some notes:

The lights of the lower touch buttons, that I can use with the S-Pen, are not lighting up when pressed like they did on stock firmware.

When enabling the option "Large mouse pointer" in "Accessibility > Text and display", the small circle that is visible when hovering with the S-Pen above the display is reduced to a very small line. I actually prefer it and would like to completely disable it, but I just wanted to mention it.

When I go to "Security > Encryption & credentials > Encrypt phone", there is no option to start the encryption process. I guess this is simply unavailable on older devices?

The calender app seems broken, since there's no way to create an event.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] html6405:
Already fixed,

Ah ok I have to check this,

Honestly, enryption still makes problem for many older devices, but it's still on my list to fix it if possible,

just wait for some future updates.

Ok, maybe this is also already fixed, please test this also on my next update :).
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Minao-tan:
Regarding the "Large mouse pointer" issue, a simple restart fixed it. 🙂

But something else entirely: To my amazement, MHL video output works! Sorta. It slows down, but when I watched a video via VLC media player, the video itself ran with the normal speed and just dropped frames.

While the video was output on the monitor, I could see VLC media player showing the interface on the display of the Note 3 separately like is the case when using Screen Mirroring. I thought MHL video output is only supposed to mirror the video signal?

But still, this is proof that it actually works on later versions of Android! As I said before, I couldn't find anything about it anywhere else. Is it that irrelevant to most people?

I tested it via the official "Samsung Galaxy S III HDTV Adapter" cable on a 1920x1080 monitor.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Blue-Monk:
Hi,

can you send me the file and pls, i need some help to install them. I get always an error message "error in /sideload/package.zip (status 1)", when i try to install the ARM BiTGApps or MicroG zip from twrp -.-

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Hassan 4:
Okay this seems nice, have you tried MHL on other roms? Like Android 9, 10, or 11?

I've searched for answers regarding these but couldn't find any :D
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] googlephoneFKLenAsh:
Are you using the official micro-usb to HDMI MHL adapter with an extra micro-usb port for power?

I bought it for around $30 almost 10 years ago but only used it a few times. MHL is supposed to just mirror yhe phone's screen to monitor/tv.

Maybe this rom is not actually using MHL protocol but usb to HDMI protocol like the new phones with USB (type C) to HDMI output?

Have you tried using a micro usb to usb type C adapter (with data transfer capability) and then an USB type C to HDMI cable and see if it works?

I've tested MHL and it mostly seems to work fine with my device,

but this was never a topic for me.

Use Bitgapps if you wan't them, but don't forget, you have to reflash them after every update, otherwise you will face a bootloop.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] bilatche:
does official s-view cover works well with LOS 19 ?

any app to use it correctly ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Minao-tan:
Yes, that is exactly the cable I'm using. :)

I'm very surprised about the result as well. As I mentioned before, I haven't found anyone else talking about this, so it is a bit exciting.

That is a very good suggestion! I have the official cable from Samsung, the one for DeX, but I don't have such an adapter yet. I'll tell you over the coming days or at the latest next week how it went. ;)

I see. It's just that I find the prospect of using such an old device with an up-to-date OS as a small portable PC very exciting.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] html6405:
Me to :).
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Minao-tan:
Unfortunately, it seems that I won't be able to test this out after all.

This scenario so unusual, so far out there, that there are simply no adapters for it. The easiest one would be an Micro USB male/USB C female adapter, but there isn't one. Well, technically there very few on Amazon, but they seem of incredibly poor quality and with no data transfer capability, not to mention how they have a lot of fake reviews.

I also thought about getting a USB-A female/USB C female adapter as an in-between, but I don't know if that would even work.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] googlephoneFKLenAsh:
I agree with you that we may have better chance with USB A female to USB C female adapter, which means we can use the full/wide micro-usb 3.0 port on the note 3, not just the normal narrower micro usb port.

I think this is a great news for me. I have a note 3 not in use in my drawer. I have no use for it because I have a dozen of newer/better mid-range devices (like pixel 3a, moto g stylus, oneplus nord n10, n200, samsung a32 5g) laying around as backups but none of my other mid-range devices has the video output capabilities. I still leave stock android 5.0 rom on my note 3, just in case I need to use it for video output to my tv if my google Chromecast with google tv fails someday.

Now I can re-purpose the note 3 as a mini pc/video layer with a more modern OS. Many apps stop working on android 5 nowadays.

In fact, no MHL support is the major reason that I didn't flash custom roms on my (second) note 3 yet. I have another note 3 which I flashed LOS 14/android 7 custom roms but I traded in that note 3.

Glad that I didn't trade-in my note 3 because I have bought so many accessories for it: offical MHL adapter, official cover case (still brand new), several batteries/anker batteries, spare s-pens and several leather cases. All of those would become waste/landfill if I don't have the note 3 anymore.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Minao-tan:
Well, as I said, there isn't really such an adapter out there and it's unclear if it would even work.

But in general, yes, it would be a tragedy if a perfectly fine working device would end up in a landfill, hence why I am so excited about projects like this where we get newer OS versions on such old devices. :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Minao-tan:
Thank you for your continued support! :)

Some more notes from me:

The touch buttons at the bottom now properly light up.

Unfortunately, I still can't create any new event in the stock Calendar app. There are no settings accessible either, I simply can't do anything in the app except look at the empty calendar. It's not the end of the world, since I can simply use another calendar app, but it's still noteworthy.

When using the S-Pen, I experience odd behavior when trying to use input text. When I tip in entry fields, the on-screen keyboard doesn't appear. I also notice that the cursor changes to something like a small rectangle. This is just a theory of mine, but I suspect the OS treats stylus inputs as mouse inputs and expects the user to have a physical keyboard at hand. It's quite a hassle that I still have to manually touch the entry fields with my finger to bring up the on-screen keyboard.

"Screen Cast" doesn't work for me. The first time I tried connecting to a monitor, it crashed the system. In later tries, it seemed to try to connect (as the monitor recognized the device as well), but simply timed out after some time and didn't connect.

Today I've received the sources from Samsung for the N9002.

I've created the first Kernel test version, would be great if you could test them.

I will continue after your reply.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] shil40:
OTW, I'm gonna use your latest build + this boot.img.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] html6405:
Yes, still not working, I'm trying to solve this now.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] html6405:
Exactly, and if this works, we could make an own build for the n9002.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] shil40:
Fast feedback, Micro USB has functioned normally again since LOS 16!!

(actually even LOS 16 need to have a patch, not official supported)

-charging works!

-file transfer works!

Based on your LOS19 build 20220301,htle var, (boot.img replaced)

Other points:

only 1 major SIM slot avails, while the other one is a GMS only slot, which has less value nowadays from my opinion.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] html6405:
I'm already working on the first version, this device also need it's own blobs to support dual sim like it should.

I will upload it asap.

Fast charging via Samsung's original cable (dual heads) works like a charm.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] BalleJas1:
Yes, I did test and phone calls over BT dont work. Playing music over BT is working as before.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] 120503:
I have no idea how to do that:(

Just replace the boo.img and flash the ROM?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] shil40:
If you have been updated to LOS 19 before, which installed functional TWRP recovery, yes.

I just replaced boot.img in the nightly build package, and flash it within TWRP.

Or you might side load boot.img via fastboot command individually.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] shil40:
No idea whether this change could also be applied to Lineage 18.1 official/unofficial lines?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] html6405:
I'm sure that this would be possible, but I think they had their reasons, I don't know which ones.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] html6405:
@shil40 which TWRP are you using for your device?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] shil40:
TWRP 3.6.0_9-0 for hlte

-no partition is encrypt

-Restart into recovery via advanced power menu works
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] html6405:
Alright, I've enabled the hlte TWRP to be supported in my new build.

It's in upload RN, I've completed it as far as possible without having this device.

Please test it and report.

I‘m courious whether the boot.img could work on LOS 16 or LOS 17? I can't test the test ROM now because some bank apps can't be installed for some reasons now:(
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] html6405:
No, but it would be possible to build it for them.

Do you mean from the playstore?

This could be because of the fingerprint, maybe google doesn't support the device.

I cuold make a hlte out of it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] 120503:
Sorry to confuse u. My own reason, my bad
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] shil40:
Here we go.

-Installation process is generally fine (I format data + wipe all excluded external sd)

-All SM N9002's vars displayed normally

-Two Sim Slots are display in options

but only Slot 1 has IMEI info, Slot 2 has no IMEI info & is unable to detect right sim cards at all

-Sim card in Slot 1

Call is ok (sms hasn't tested, I suppose it should be ok)

N9002 's highest network capability is HSPA (3.5G), speed is fair for an ancient device.

(it won't work until I factory rest wifi/Bluetooth/mobile in system menu.)

but Bluetooth seems still not functional

(according to my exp, it might be the baseband files were not correct installed. maybe you could attach a modem.zip, I installed separately, and feedback again)

Good one: Overall fluency is better than htle var on my device.

Power charge/file transfer are works just like previous build.

I will come up more info later.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] html6405:
Ok, I need a complete syslog from you, it would be great to download the syslog app,

grant root permissions, do a reboot and grab a log for me.

It's hard to say whats wrong without any logs.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] shil40:
try not install any arm64 based app

it might solve most of issue you had, my exp.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] shil40:
OK, I have logcat installed, and try to install magisk 24 later (it works on LOS18 I remember).

My feedback might be hours later as it is midnight in my region now : )

Cheers
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] shil40:
@html6405

Here you are.

No idea whether its sufficient or not. just let me know what I could help further.

in general, I have encountered lots of permission issue when I try to make Gapps functional on current build

I even need to enable related permissions for google play manually (Bitgapps).

Strange issue:

Youtuber Keeps my account out , while Gmail works fine.

Other basic functions of Gapps works fine

What works:

SMS of slot 1 double confirmed, it works

GPS works

OpenGL portal works, tested via PSP/N64 emu, performance is no worse than LOS 18.

A little question, is that possible LOS bring Vulcan portal on Kernel 3.xx ?, OpenGL is fine, but Vulcan should have better performance. Lots of people like me using ancient devices to be a Retro gaming machine.

So the Bluetooth issue is kinds of first priority to be fixed for connecting external devices like earphone & joysticks in the scenario.
