No more LineageOS support for this device?

[iTzFeRReTTi]

Hi everyone,

I just recently checked to see if we got a new LineageOS 14.1 update for our device off their site and found this commit: https://review.lineageos.org/#/c/198266/

So it seems that the person who was maintaining this device no longer has the time to support it anymore, so it seems we won't be getting any more official love from LineageOS. Is anyone aware of a 14.1 or possibly even a 15.0/15.1 release for this device that is being worked on? I've had this device since it came out in 2012 and it's amazing it's able to run 7.1 without issue and would love to keep its life going with Oreo!

Well , that's shame !!

They removed all galaxy S3 USA from the website , so because that I couldn't download the last version of lineageOS 14.1 . which in December 4,2017 !!



Now , we have 2 choices :

1- Reporting the support to give us just the last version of lineageOS 14.1 , Wich in December 4 ,2017 .

2- It's time to looking for new custom rom , like Rabon Rom or Team OctOS or Slim Rom.. whatever.

Any roms for this device we're based on LineageOS, so...
We need a new maintainer.
Also, Sources are still available, so you can still build it yourself.

even at least we need the last version of lineageOS 14.1 , so we can living with that

speaking of the "building" , How can I build it when I'm not programmer or something ??

You don't have to be a programmer. It's easier than you think.

by the way

I have been searching for the best alternative of lineageOS , because I was trying to connect with the support to make them bring me at least the last version of lineageOS 14.1 , but unfortunately I found that they have rules in which includes " asking for device support " so you can't report about it , also they deleted this device from list of "create Issue" , so they want to make sure you won't report bout it and closing the case .

So , I found Roms that will be the best alternative of lineageOS and they have weekly updates and good reviews from the users , in which are :


1) CarbonRom (based on AOSP !)
2)OctOS
3)Mokee Roms
4)SlimRoms


Because of them , this device still has a future !!
so.. thank you for your hard work and I hope you the best

I don't think they will find a new maintainer , also remember they removed this device from the whole website !

take a look :

The sources are still there. Devices are removed and re added when a new maintainer steps up all the time.

Carbon for this device is based on lineage. I imagine they will keep building as long as the rom actually builds. As soon as it fails to build they will probably stop. No one is adding commits anymore so future changes will eventually break it.

I'm looking for a replacement OS for the phone too. I found this (I can't post actual link due to being a new member on XDA)
google search: "MoKee Open Source Downloads Samsung Galaxy S III (Sprint) Model - d2spr"
Has anyone heard of this before?

Yep. Chinese rom, but it works.

yeah , I had been tried MoKee Roms on my LG G2 vs980 and also galaxy s3 sph-l710 .
in fact , this rom was simple and smooth , but it has some bugs such as the battery was draining so fast ,the statues of phone won't open and some times the system gets slow .
there were some customs I didn't like it for example , the xposed app and the Aeigs ( just in my opinion) , but the good thing in this rom it's has a weekly updates and also you can report bugs .

here some screenshots : :good:

note :
few days ago , I was trying the other custom roms and I found great roms , like CarbonRom , octos Rom , and off course the MoKee Rom :good:

Been using the Mokee Rom for a few weeks now. So far I really like the OS and updates for Monthly Android security. Very similar to Lineage ......RIP

 

[fanboys3]

Mokee is now RIP also: https://download.mokeedev.com/?device=d2spr&type=unofficial

If anyone has the latest, might be worth uploading for others.

Edit: Found a copy of Mokee for D2SPR: https://www7.zippyshare.com/v/FeNaswCD/file.html [MK71.2-d2spr-201802260604-NIGHTLY.zip]
