The OP said that he is moving his support to postmarketos, which is a mobile edition of Linux(linux is the enemy of windows).
This ROM, support-wise, is mostly dead and probably, if you want something new and more secure(like android 11 or what), better upgrade to a newer phone.

Yes I'm unfortunately unable to continue support for the device as my i9003's battery died a long time ago with no replacement :/
That being said, I've been getting multiple share requests for this ROM so I'll fix the download link again :)
In my country you can still get the batteries for this equipment, let me know if you want one. I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for the great job you have done. Thanks to

    NOTE: If you've tried to download this ROM before and Google Drive didn't let you access it, I have reuploaded the ROM directly to this post​

    About the ROM
    This is a build of LineageOS 14.1 (Nougat) for the Samsung Galaxy SL (GT-I9003)

    Things to take a note of
    • This ROM is still a Work In Progress. As such, some features do not work, as listed ahead
    • Make sure you keep a backup of your files. This update WILL wipe every partition (/system, /cache, /data, /sdcard).
    • IMPORTANT: Returning to an older ROM is non-trivial because this update applies a different partitioning scheme. To return to another version, flash the boot.img (possibly using heimdall or bml_over_mtd) of the ROM you wish to install, reboot to recovery, and flash.
    • ADB does not authenticate any requests. Hence, ensure you disable ADB if you're not a developer.

    Steps to flash
    • Reboot to Recovery.
    • Wipe Data / Factory Reset.
    • Select the ROM zip from your SD Card and flash. It will reboot to TWRP.
    • Flash the ROM zip again. It WILL fail on this flash to let you go back to an older boot.img to stop installation if you wish to. Flash again to continue.
    • Flash GApps (OpenGApps pico package recommended).
    • Reboot. First boot can take 15mins or so.

    NOTE: When upgrading from an older version of this ROM, it's recommended to wipe /system due to certain issues with the installer not updating the boot image correctly.

    Just to show that it can be done, and a passion for reusing old hardware :p

    Can someone pls enlighten me as soon as possible.....?? Is this ROM stable?? And it is written in the post that the status is given as Beta........ wt does that mean??.......Nd i did not understand......Why is it not possible to go back to an older ROM?? I need a detailed instructions (if pssble) how to get back to the previous ROM...... Currently iam using CM 11.......Can't I get back to my previous nandroid backup of this current ROM ?? pls answer this ASAP......Want to try how this ROM actually looks like on my GT-I9003......And i sincerely request someone to post the screens of this ROM pls.............. :)


    And would like to know wat is the difference btwn This Lineage ROM nd the Omni ROM....??

    You don't have to double post :D

    This ROM is *somewhat* stable, however there are features missing (mobile data, GPS, video playback, etc.). Alpha and Beta are measures of how stable a version is (Alpha < Beta < Stable, in order of stability).

    The reason you cannot go to a previous Android version is because I have repartitioned the phone's internal storage for a bigger /system partition and no internal /sdcard storage (it is now emulated storage). You can return to a previous ROM by flashing the stock ROM (to be more specific, the boot.img), rebooting to recovery and restoring your ROM backup.

    I can post some screenshots soon, if needed :)

    I started by porting Omni to our phone, to see if it was possible. Then I went for Lineage because it contains more features. So the Omni port is no longer active, It's recommended to use this LineageOS port.

    Also, the Omni port uses the same partitioning format as older ROMs but at the disadvantage of having no system partition space for GApps and lesser fixes.

    Cheers!

    Thanks fr the reply!!!!
    YES!!! i would love to see some screenshots....... :D
    sorry but iam a noob at all this......I actually have another doubt too......
    As u said that i should flash the stock rom..... here wt does a BOOT.IMG mean??
    If u reply to this As soon as possible i would like to know wat all precautions should i take before flashing this rom.....
    Bcoz this is the frst time iam seeing that u can't go back to the previous rom....
    Usually i would take a nand. backup and test out a new rom nd then i wld go back to my previous backup......
    Iam askin all these because the first time i flashed the Omni Rom a month before....... Nd i actually bricked my phone......
    I got this "phone -exclamation-pc" icon everytime i try to get into BOOT mode or RECOVERY........
    Then i recoverd safely after flashing the stock rom.......

    Nd Instead of 7.1.2 for i9003 I would love to see 5.0 or 6.0 for this device......
    Cant find any Lollipop or Marshmellow ROMS for the SL......

    And i sincerely thank you for creating this NEW ROM for the SL..... :)
    Have'nt seen any new ROMS lately after the CM11

    (nd plssssss once think abt making a 5.0 ROM fr the SL.......What is ur opinion abt it......?? Iam sure it would look great on the SL.....) :)

    Once again thank u for the reply.....
    (ppl on xda surely are pretty friendly..... :p )

    Will send screenshots soon :D

    You can ignore that and just go ahead with flashing the stock ROM. The boot.img file is essentially the file that contains the boot code and recovery of the phone (in simplified terms)

    The main precautions you should keep in mind are that the Internal SD card is now emulated, so wiping data will wipe any photos/music stored in internal storage. The safest place to keep your files are on an external SD card (keep your CM11 backup there, too)

    The exclamation mark error is when the phone can't find the boot code, that might've been the ROM flash geting stopped partway. You can recover from that using Odin.

    I actually did make a 5.0.2 NamelessROM build, but it's not very usable as such. Lollipop had an issue which used up phone RAM too much. Our phone having 512MB of RAM just made it worse. In between I was away on other tasks and so, by the time I returned, Nougat was latest. Hence, it didn't make sense (atleast to me :p) to make a Marshmallow ROM when Nougat was the one in development.

    You're welcome :D

    As said above, a 5.0.2 build exists, which isn't very usable. A Marshmallow ROM doesn't exist for our phone but if one wishes to build CyanogenMod 13.0 for our device, I can give help :D

    XDA and other internet forums are not all that friendly, just make sure you follow the rules of the forum :D

    Cheers!
