DISCLAMER

Your warranty is now void.

I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM before flashing it.

LiquidSmooth is an aftermarket firmware based on the Android Open Source Project.

Dedicated to providing users with smooth, stable and fast ROMs. A Lightweight modified AOSP base, and then add the features you crave!

While we make every effort to test these builds as much as possible, we are not responsible for anything that may happen to your device.

We ask that you do your part to know your device and know how to recover from problems before you flash!

This is an Beta build for the Galaxy s3 i9300


This is a beta build, but because it is in beta there are bugs, so please do not report bugs that are already on this list.

i9300 specific bugs:
As I do not own this device, I will add bugs to this list as I hear about them *

Install Instructions:

1. Download ROM
2. Reboot into recovery
3. Please back up your ROM before you begin!
4. You need a full wipe*
5. Flash the ROM
6. Flash 5.0.x Gapps
7. Reboot
8. It will take a while at first boot.
* If you plan on reporting bugs, You must be on a clean flash and not have anything that modifies system or frameworks installed like Xposed.
If you have not done these, don't bother reporting issues

Support on this thread is for LiquidSmooth ROM related issues only.


While we do not mind helping, its getting impossible to sort through issues that are ROM related or not. Persistent non-ROM related issues are best suited for the Galaxy s3 i9300, Help & Troubleshooting Section.

Below is a few things I would appreciate you list when you are having issues so we have as much information as possible when trying to help you with your problems.


  • Is this a Clean flash
  • Is this the stock kernel
  • What firmware revision are you on
  • What gapps package are you using
  • Have you had this issue on other ROMs
  • Do you have any apps that change/modify system preferences (Xposed, etc)
  • Do you have any task killers installed

Are all the optimisations like -O3 applied?

Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA Free mobile app
"All" is relative to each person. There are some parts that will break with O3 and have to be O2 or Os. Stability over speed. The more that's O3 the more chances that you lose stability. Could there be more added, sure. We'll get there

Disabled and permissive are basically the same. In permissive SeLinux its active and reporting, disabled its not active at all. Right now to the user, its pretty much the same thing

another thing @TheBr0ken, may we ask on changing SELinux mode to Permissive?
I tried to install Xposed Lollipop on this rom, but It didnt work, and when I try to change SELinux mode using SELinux Mode Changer on Playstor, it states that SElinux is not exist..
Sorry if OT by the way.. Thanks, this rom is really fast and smooth, will give feedback if theres something found..
