Installation
(NOTE: if you experience robotic voice during calls: see the FAQ for a fix)
Upgrading from CyanogenMod/unofficial LineageOS without wiping
Unfortunately, now you have to wipe to come from CM - see "First time LineageOS14.1 installation on your Galaxy S III", or if you're brave try the instructions on changing keys.
First time LineageOS 14.1 installation on your Galaxy S III:
- Read the official Wiki page
- Flash a custom recovery via Heimdall or Odin
- Push GApps (arm) and the Lineage 14.1 zip to your device
- Boot into Recovery
- Perform factory reset
- Flash the Lineage 14.1 zip from SD card
- Flash GApps from SD card
- Reboot
Upgrading from earlier version of LineageOS:
- Update your recovery - Lineage Recovery will be done automatically, TWRP can be downloaded from here (NOTE: you need 3.0.2-2 or higher to automatically install updates in Lineage 14.1)
- Push the new Lineage 14.1 zip to your SD card
- Boot into Recovery
- Flash the Lineage 14.1 zip from SD card
- Flash the most recent GApps for 7.1 if you are upgrading from earlier android version
- Reboot
Downloads
- Install packages: https://download.lineageos.org/i9300

Reporting bugs
Bug reports belong on JIRA. See our wiki for more information on using JIRA.
I do not check this thread regularly for bug reports. Using JIRA makes tracking down & debugging bugs a lot easier. Feel free to use this thread to discuss bugs, though
- DO NOT report bugs if you're running a custom kernel
- DO NOT report bugs if you've modified system files
- DO NOT report bugs if you've installed xposed and/or other mods
- Grab a logcat right after the problem has occurred. (Please include at least a few pages of the log, not just the last few lines, unless you know what you're doing.)
- See how to submit a bug report for the appropriate place to report your bug (NOTE: the majority of bugs need to go in the BUGBASH tracker, which is only open on weekends).

F.A.Q.
Root?
Flashable zips to install/uninstall root can be found here. Download the "arm" variants.
Robotic voice during calls?
Try using the I9300XXUGMK6 modem. Instructions are here.
GPS Issues?
Probably a hardware issue. Try tightening the screws on the back of the device, or see this video for more information (thanks to @baltics for the link)
The LineageOS team would like to thank everyone involved in helping with testing, coding, debugging & documenting! Enjoy!
