Hi @mop09737,

the denomination is still i9305 but the build wasn't available until recently :)

https://visi0nary.de/builds/full/lineage-14.1-20170121-UNOFFICIAL-i9305.zip

@rgib, to build it myself, do I just have to:
repo init -b cm-14.1
repo sync --force-sync
brunch i9305

Or is there something else I have to do (maybe install some new dependencies?). I just had an error (I'm currently looking where from).

EDIT:
Found the error, attached a screenshot. Has to do with Wifi I guess.

i9305 blobs missing. check github/themuppets
Isn't it enough to have it in my local roomservice ?

EDIT: Just checked with 'git status' and I'm at the last commit.
Is there a way to clean up the builds files since I switched from cm-13.0 to cm-14.1, maybe there's some sort of cache or something

Hello
I try to install rom but i have a problem
In recovery during the flash of rom I have two red errors:

"Patching system image unconditionnaly:
E:unknown command [log]
E:unknown command [log]"

If i reboot after flash, phone bootloop

Did i make something wrong?

I completely deleted the folder contents and did a new repo init + repo sync, and apparently it just werks.
I guess some extra steps are needed when one wants to switch branches.

thanks and ok, will try this...I finished also a build yesterday (all sources from leos 14.1), but it doesn't boot.
Stucks on leos bootanimation. Was/is there a fix on github today? Haven't seen seen changes related to smdk or i9305. Additional I got build errors with smdk-gps. I solved it with copying some files or lines from another working rom.

I had also bootloops with yesterdays build: 20170122. But after flashing the UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.71.zip, it boots now. So it seems, bootloop is happening because of the, from lineaos, currently removed root....

Hi, i a great pleasure to see lineage OS experiment on this device.
Do you think it will be possible that an official build coming soon?
And why this phone (better than I9300) was not fully support by cyanogen team?

So why there are lot of differences between I9300 and I9305?
It's a very good question for me!!
