This is an unofficial Pie build for the S3 LTE (i9305) based on LineageOS 16.0.

!! Please note that all thanks and credits go to @ChronoMonochrome because he ported the necessary changes to t0lte and got Pie to work for that device, especially the kernel thingis!!​

And below is a quote from his release, where he mentioned in his t0lte thread all the involved devs and credited to all the people helped to get pie running for our "old" devices.

This work is heavily based on works of PoisonNinja, Option58 (thanks for device tree, kernel and device patches for LOS 14.1).
A full credit for Pie bringup goes to rINanDO (thanks for device tree, kernel and device patches for LOS 16.0).

Hi, thanks for your great job!
Almost features are fine. I recognized only two stuffs for now.

** 1) phone call **
I set up a VoIP phone app on a phone which was flashed this rom, and called another phone.
The echo back is heard on the VoIP app side, but I could not hear the voice I talked on the receiving phone.

Do you think above phenomenon is related your attention "Call recording, call forwarding and else" or not?

2) FTU was appeared a few times

When I started using this rom, FTU appeared twice or more after I went through FTU.
But as for now I don't see FTU anymore. Thus, this is a trivial issue.

Anyway, I am looking forward to seeing the next updated version!

small update

Hi There,
gapps pico are working, but graphical glitches are occurring in youtube app, youtube browser is working fine, google films is working fine.
Bluetooth sending and receiving is working, device name is still wrong, shows still Galaxy Note 2, which does not matter and can be changed in settings manually.

[rodman01]

new build is up: 20200122

Hi There,
made a new version nd its uploaded now.
Based on yesterday evening leo sources and small update in device source.
- Youtube App is now working and Google films too
No other bigger changes.

And since there are no reports yet about serious problems, I changed the status to from Beta testing to bBeta.

Whats App, Instagram, Facebook and other messengers as well as other social media apps needs testing and would be glad, if someone can report back.

GPS most probably won't work. I am getting no satellites and no fix

Im trying to install this custom rom but everytime I got stuck on LineageOS loading logo forever. Anyone have this problem too?

 

[ximia]

some problems...

on 20200118 ver.

1) following apps sometimes crashed.

LINE, Adobe photoshop express, Amazon Shopping, Proton Mail.

I felt these apps often crash especially when a first invocation and registering an account to every app via network.
After registered my account, crash frequency decreased.

2) following apps couldn't be installed by Google Play Store

LINE, Google Drive, Google Spreadsheet

* For LINE, I installed older apk manually.

I cannot download 20200121 ver. via AFH yet. I'll test further after the rom is updated.

Have you wiped out data, cache, and Dalvik cache before install the rom?
If you didn't yet, try it but ALL OF YOUR DATA WILL BE CLEARED!!
Be aware of what you're doing and do everything at your own risk.

 

[agaroth]

I got the same issues .
I keep it stuck there for almost 40 minutes 2 times but it didn't work.

@rodman01

I intend to flash and test the ROM this weekend. However, I've issues to download it as AFH doesn't find any mirror. Do you have another DL available?
Another question: Anything against not to use your given and linked root solution but to use Magisk? As you provide a separate root solution, I assume Magisk is not incorporated into the ROM.

Depending on from which rom you are coming, it could be better to flash an other custom rom first. You can try RR or cm14 and test whether this is working. And if yes, that follow the steps in op for a new and clean installation. It can also depend on the recovery you are using.

Sorry for the issues with afh. I will try to fix it with uploading the version again.

@Oswald Boelcke no specific reason why I linked the root to leos. Magisk should work as in previous versions. I tested it a couple of weeks ago with a prototype version and it worked. So its worth to try magisc, yes.

Rom new uploaded, afh should find mirror now. Sorry for circumstances:

I could install all your mentioned apps via google play store. It last a bit, the download is not fast, but worked on my end. Amazon is crashing on my side too, the others not, but I haven't tested them much, because I don't have accounts or ids for for example photoshop express or want to create or share my phone number or personal details.
