I cannot install it via TWRP. After "Checking for Digest file . . ." its says:
"Failed to map file " and "Error installation zip file"

1. test .zip file for integrity.
2. install latest TWRP (which is 3.3.1).

The zip-file unzips without problems on my Laptop (Linux)
Also I reloaded it again to be sure.


I had already TWRP 3.3.1 loaded just yesterday .

 

[deentky]

What was the previous version of TWRP that you used?
I had problems with v3.3.1. I had to go back to v3.3.0.

Hmm, I started with 3.2.x in the begining and upgraded to 3.3.1 because of the error. but I will try again with 3.2.
Edit: Installed 3.2.2 as 3.3.0 was not available and that helped! Thank you very much.

As others have mentioned TWRP 3.3.1.0 gives errors when installing this rom.
TWRP 3.2.3-0 worked fine for me installing this rom.

Did you try the newer 3.3.1 version published on January 9th 2020 ? link to official TWRP
If yes, it would be great if you could send some logs in this thread

Edit: sorry, just saw you already did

Hello. Using "twrp-3.3.0-0-i9300.img" I installed "lineage-16.0-20200103-UNOFFICIAL-i9300.zip", "open_gapps-arm-9.0-pico-20191221.zip" and "Magisk-v20.2.zip".

After using the ROM for some days I'd say that it's currently the best one for the S3. Fast UI, decent battery life, photo and video working, Bluetooth audio working, no crashes/reboots.
GPS works but takes a long time for a fix and had constant accuracy issues during my testing. I have not used the ROM with a SIM/mobile connection.
Wifi 5 GHz has the usual issues (only connects if device is right next to router, doesn't reconnect until restart. No improvement by wifi-fix-murata.zip).

Good day. I'm not sure whether this has been mentioned already, but the latest version of this ROM shows a battery level lower than the one reported by a 7.1 Nougat LOS ROM or even TWRP. The difference is of roughly 20 points percent. The battery is an original Samsung one for I9300.

Thanks for keeping the S3 alive. OEMs could learn a thing or two from you, but then they'd go bankrupt from everyone not changing their device.

thx

Hi @ChronoMonochrome , Thanks for your great work for i9300 .
rom looks very smooth and stable ,
battery draining is not fast and it lasts long time .

i dnt knw how others GPS not work properly but my phones GPS works fine and fast in google maps web view .

LED charging indication doesn't work and i hope will be fixed by you in future updates .

i will be share my experience as soon as find new things ...

also please edit title of thread, the date is typed wrong : [3.12.2020]

i hope, not. because LED charging light is the most annoying feature. if it's returned, at least, there should be a way to disable it.

It's an intentional change. As a lot of batteries are discharging completely at 20-30%, better to adjust charge level accordingly. In the worst case scenario, the battery will just last longer than usually at 0%.

Thanks for confirming it to work, good to know it works at least for anyone.

Ok, I guess I could include it as an optional feature while keeping it disabled by default.

This feature we are talking about is the one of a kind feature. many new phones did not have this . we have to appreciate samsung to added that for s3 .

Thank you man . the release date is corrected :laugh:
i installed this rom 2 days ago and charged battery full after that , 1 night with wifi and gps [On] battery lost 13 percent of power , other roms loose power of 50 percent or much more, i used it regularly and less and after 2 days still i have power and battery is 43 percent without entering charger . I want to say that
this rom's battery keeping is very good and when you keep it on stand by you can use it longer .

also i noticed that when your phone is ringing in your pocket or if you hold your finger on the proximity sens , the proximity sensor is activate by ringing phone , and this is the black screen that some guys talking about that . i hope you fix this too and delay the activation of proximity sensor after an answering the call and hold it near your ear .

I will be share my future experience if i will find anything new ...

That's a clever choice, thanks for explaining your rationale.

By the way, I noticed that the ROM supports signature spoofing out of the box, but there's currently no UI to grant the permission to selected apps, even if one could achieve this via "pm grant".
Do you plan to add a toggle in the future, or will you strip the spoofing altogether?

Moreover, the LED does seem to be turned off not only during charging, but even during normal operation, as in not blinking to notify. Notice that I said "seem", though, so don't take my word for it.

Edit: it appears that the kernel you picked doesn't support exFAT, as Android offered to format my card when opting to use it as portable storage, and it is now formatted as vFAT, which I assume to be a plain old FAT32.

The thing is that the kernel switched back to 3.0.101, I should have considered it earlier, as any newer kernels just works much worse on this hardware for some reasons.

That's a clever choice, thanks for explaining your rationale.

I should mention, it's not my work, it's taken from S2 kernel (the authorship of the currently used kernel and this patch belongs to @rINanDO).

Thanks for the observation!
Earlier, I didn't really had a chance to test the proximity sensor, cause of a faulty motherboard, now that I also have Note 2, I could just test this sensor here. It seems to be a good idea to go with the sensors code from LOS 14.1, the problem is I can't currently make both proximity and compass working (there are two sensors lib implementations, one from LOS and the second from the Replicant, both of which has some pros and cons to consider).

I didn't consider adding an UI patch to activate this, since I thought it's only usable for the microG (which IIRC already has such an option).
Are there other usage cases besides of microG?

I don't currently have a way to test this out myself, and as I was already aware that there were some difficulties while porting exFAT to 3.0.101 discovered in S2 thread, I've just decided to opt out of exFAT for now. I might re-visit this in the future.

Not that I know of, but microG doesn't automatically get the permission to spoof its signature with your modification and it doesn't include a means to request it, thus the only way to grant the permission at the moment is via "pm grant".

 

[Slayerrider]

If I insert a sim card i get an error: sim card is disabled, enter puk. But in other phones the sim card works.

Someone experiences the same problem?

 

[deentky]

@Slayerrider Yes, I experienced. In every Pie ROM I've ever tested.
Two solutions worked for me:
1) Typing your PIN very, very, very slowly (sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't)
2) Disable SIM PIN checking, with another phone (the best solution).
