Depending on from which rom you are coming, it could be better to flash an other custom rom first. You can try RR or cm14 and test whether this is working. And if yes, that follow the steps in op for a new and clean installation. It can also depend on the recovery you are using.

I was using RR 5.8.5 when install this one. But the problem now is that I cant even start the RR rom, I got stuck at loading logo too. I tried with TWRP 2.8.7.0 and 3.2.3.0. Only the stock rom is working now.

Please check Oswalds post here: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=80176165&postcount=1479
and try this link which refers to flash RR-N-v5.8.3-20170716-i9305-Official first.

I could install all your mentioned apps via google play store. It last a bit, the download is not fast, but worked on my end. Amazon is crashing on my side too, the others not, but I haven't tested them much, because I don't have accounts or ids for for example photoshop express or want to create or share my phone number or personal details.

Thankfully I could downloaded 20200121 version. I'll reinstall from clean and check each phenomena with care. Fortunately, as I have my adobe id, instagram account, I can test in detail. Anyway thanks a lot for your efforts :good:

Thanks! With your help I was able to install following this order: Install Stock Rom with ODIN > Install RR 5.8.3 via TWRP > Install RR5.8.5 via TWRP > Install LOS 16 via TWRP.
But the problem now is: When I install the gapps, my phone simply restart after few minutes on LOS loading logo. The restart goes directly to TWRP.
Any tips for this problem? Thanks again!

Which gapps are you using? I heard yesterday, that the newest versions will have or cause some problems.
So maybe the solution is simple and use pico gapps from last week or earlier...

Otherwise but I doubt that this would help:
I assume that you have done a factory reset and formatted the partitions except internal and externel sd card.
Which twrp are you using? Have you tried the one I am using? If not than please
refer again to one of Oswalds post (and btw: the thanks button is his and our best friend ;)) and don't use any higher version than 3.0.2-1

I stacked by opengapps 20200124 and used confortablely by opengapps 20200115.
I also tried the installation. Sometimes I faced an install error, but the 3 apps I noticed were finally installed from the Play Store.

I'm further testing...

- Instagram is almost fine, except a page to pickup photo(s) for sharing.
- Photoshop Express is also almost fine, except manipulating a picture sometimes goes down or becomes black.
- Thankfully Gboard (I have to type words in Japanese) works very fine! :good:
- Keepass2Android Offline also is working normally.
- Twitter and its client app, which is named tweecha popular in Japan also work very well.

I'll test Viber, Signal, LINE, Google Drive and Sheet later.

My feeling is;
Dealing with text is perfect, and attaching a picture over internet is also fine.
For now, authentication has no problem, too. OAuth is to be tested.
Handling pictures has a little problem.
Totally, the quality is much better than the first beta release. :)

If I found some problems or tested several apps, I''ll up a comment here again.

Thanks! ;)

I highly appreciate your development, too!

Additional apps - Pocket, Microsoft Launcher, OneCalendar, weawow, Dropbox, Hangout - also work fine.
Signal seems to be work well but I have't sent/received a message, so I'll try to test more.

Pocket's login is using Firefox Account, this authntication is also no problem.

Weather widgets which can be placed by weawow app, is working as expected,
and GPS(with WiFi detection) is accurate to display the weather around my home!

Everything is quite stable and I am now satisfied to be able to use this rom with ease! :laugh:

hello everyone after a long time I turned my galaxy s3 lte back on .. I knew that sooner or later he would have risen precisely to thank the developer for his work and his time I wanted to test today are five days of use the rom behaves very well it is not very fluid as I generally expected the lineageos and very fast. maybe it is because I installed magisk and edxposed module to be able to use greenify .. having said that I noticed a couple of camera settings problems it gives me an error, at every start or restart says restarting unrecognized sim, slow wifi sometimes drops connection, facebook closes and I have to reopen as a start not bad for being a beta, I hope that the problems will be solved and that maybe you can customize it with additional changes like your previous roms on a nougat basis thanks rodman01

Many thanks to @rodman01 and team.

Can anyone confirm whether this build will work with the i9300T Galaxy SIII which is the Australian variant for i9300?

Thanks in advance
This ROM is not for any i9300 but the i9305 (S3 LTE) as stated in OP and thread title.

    This is an unofficial Pie build for the S3 LTE (i9305) based on LineageOS 16.0.


    !! Please note that all thanks and credits go to @ChronoMonochrome because he ported the necessary changes to t0lte and got Pie to work for that device, especially the kernel thingis!!

    And below is a quote from his release, where he mentioned in his t0lte thread all the involved devs and credited to all the people helped to get pie running for our "old" devices.

    This work is heavily based on works of PoisonNinja, Option58 (thanks for device tree, kernel and device patches for LOS 14.1).
    A full credit for Pie bringup goes to rINanDO (thanks for device tree, kernel and device patches for LOS 16.0).

    Working
    • Graphics
    • Wifi
    • Data (LTE is not supported currently)
    • RIL
    • Bluetooth (needs more testing, receiving files is working, sending I am not sure, also device name needs a change)
    • Sensors (needs more testing, proximity sensor works, others not sure whether it work)
    • Vibration
    • Camera (advanced settings not working switched to snap cam and its working now)
    • Audio
    • LED Notification, color and brightness settings
    • Pico Gapps are working, Youtube and Google Films are well
    • livedisplay
    • etc

    Not tested, needs testing
    • Call recording, call forwarding and else
    • NFC (needs more testing, not sure whether it work)
    • GPS (got a fix with gps status, first fix lasts a minute, nexts are much faster) currently getting worse, have no fixes 14/03/20

    Bugs
    • feel free to report them, will try to find a solution, but no promise :)

    Download:


    Installation:
    1. I am using an older TWRP, which is working fine: TWRP_2.8.7.0_alpha17_by-SdtBarbarossa_i9305.zip
    2. Download the latest build and copy it to the phone
    3. Factory reset in TWRP (Very important! Do not skip)

    small update

    Hi There,
    gapps pico are working, but graphical glitches are occurring in youtube app, youtube browser is working fine, google films is working fine.
    Bluetooth sending and receiving is working, device name is still wrong, shows still Galaxy Note 2, which does not matter and can be changed in settings manually.
