I9305 didn't get official CM12, but will obtain CM13? Also whhy not CM14? Unofficial CM14 builds works for me better than most of CM13 based ROMs... But I miss custom kernels for it.

Although great work. I can't understand that, but if it's true finally our device will obtain something newer and official :)

# do not ask for ETAs
# other unofficial builds use hacks which, in my opinion, put your phone under security risks
# my code is fully opensource, others one don't
# CM-13.0 is the most stable OS at the moment
# update code from CM-11.0 has not been an easy and quick task
# 1 official build per week
# donations are always appreciated

Great work there, I agree, android 6.0 is stable and still makes sense to use on such old phone(tried 7.1 on my I9300 few days ago, it was rocking good until I installed gapps on top of it...) I highly appreciate your work on this low interest device, official is always official ;)

Did a clean flash today.
Found few bugs:
* Network mode doesn't work. I couldn't change LTE to 3G or 2G.
* Battery icon in status bar doesn't show battery % within icon. Initially it does but soon it disappears.

Hi guys,

First of all, thanks for trying to maintain CM on i9305 with a clean RIL. (Even though the workarounds still work, it makes me feel safer).

Two things I noticed (then i reverted back to p.a.n.'s build):
- The UI seems slow every few seconds.
- No cell network (tried to go to settings and see if it finds any carrier but it says Error and tells me the SIM isn't recognized after a few seconds, even though he asked for my PIN code when I booted, so the SIM sure is there and recognized)

I'll setup adb and try to log what happened, I'll post back when I have those logs.

I did a factory reset, then installed the rom, then gapps pico and then wiped ART cache, maybe I forgot something ?

Something that might give clues, when i installed this ROM, the default language was US, but I reverted back, the language changed to French (Canada) because he recognized my SIM as a French/Canadian one (There was a toast notification).

Network settings worked fine for me except network mode. Also had no bug in language selection. Try any latest modem

Reflashing the modem solved the network connectivity problem.

There is substantial lag in all screen transitions compared with the unofficial CM13 builds. Also, could not open a bug report on JIRA because there is no i9305 device listed there.

:Flashed this today. Have been using p.a.n's build of 13. Here are a few notes for others:
Installing:
* Don't rely on the SD Card being in "Format as Internal Storage" mode (my first time trying it). I initially tried a dirty flash and it didn't work at all. The usual advice on making good backups applies here.
* You'll need the latest modem. I just flashed the latest stock rom from this thread. Without a new modem, you won't get any cell connectivity and the UI will hang OFTEN.
* You may need the latest TWRP. I had issues with a version below 3.0.

Bugs:
* As above. Can't change cell network modes. Occasional hangs (not too horrible with newer modem).
* Compass seems to be about 180° out? Slow satellite acquisition? I'll keep an eye on this through the week.
Edit: actually the GPS is fine. Just took a while on first lock.

Everything else seems to work. I'm going to keep an eye out for the wakelock bug that was in the other build. Thanks for your attention OP! This has been a fantastic device. Looking forward to more nightlies :good:
