FAQ:
Before using the ROM:
Q. Can I have an ETA for the next build?
A. Yes, just look in the OP to see if your device is built on a nightly or weekly schedule.

Q. Does this ROM support custom kernels?
A. No. You can still use them, but discussion should go in the thread of the respective kernel. We don't offer support for bugs you might encounter while using them!

Q. Why doesn't this ROM support Xposed?
A. Xposed is a hack that is geared towards AOSP, custom ROM's modify the framework a lot, so Xposed can cause a ton of issues on custom ROM's. Now it might work for you, however it is not to be discussed in this thread, and you should refrain from posting bug reports.

Q. Alright, but I still want to flash Xposed, so which version do I need to install?
A. You will need to use the version arm64/arm/whatever for SDK 27.

Flashing the ROM:
Q. What do I need to know before flashing?
A. Check the install instructions in the first post...

Q. Can the builds be dirty flashed over each other?
A. Yes, however make a nandroid backup first as there is a chance of getting a bootloop or encountering bugs. Also bugs may only be reported on a clean flash.

Q. How do I dirty flash builds?
A. Wipe the System, Cache and ART/Dalvik cache. Flash the ROM, GApps (only needed if you wipe the system), your preferred root solution and reboot. Or just use the OTA app to preform that task for you.

Q. How do I flash kernel builds?
A1. If it's a .img file, boot into TWRP and go to the install page in TWRP, in the bottom right corner select "install image", select the desired kernel, then select "boot", then swipe to flash, then go back to the install screen and install your root method again, if you don't want to loose root and reboot.
A2. If it's a flashable ZIP, you can flash it together with a ROM update or separately. Go to the install page in TWRP, choose the kernel zip (or add it to the flash queue right after the ROM zip). Then add your root method to the queue if you don't want to loose root. Now swipe to flash, and then reboot.

Using the ROM:

Q. I installed a bad theme and now I'm getting a bootloop, how do I fix it?
A. In TWRP, flash the substratum rescue zip that's in the substratum folder on the internal storage.

Q. Do I need to provide a logcat if I'm reporting a bug?
A. If you want it to be fixed faster (or at all) then yes, you should definitely provide a logcat. (Note: Please just link the logcat from your GDrive, Dropbox, etc. and do not post the content here. Thanks.

Q. How do I get a logcat, what type should I get and more questions that can conveniently be answered by my pre-determined answer?
A1. Read this thoroughly. Also, here's a good app for getting logs: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tortel.syslog (Root needed).



The ROM should contain everything you need to enjoy Android. You don't need to install any Add-on's, simply download the latest ROM, GApps, flash it and go!
If you want the device to run the ROM "rooted", you can flash a root solution of your choice after the ROM Zipfile.

It is STRONGLY recommended to fully wipe your device before flashing and please avoid restoring system apps and system data with Titanium Backup as this can cause stability issues that are very hard to debug.
If you believe you know what you're doing - then fine, go ahead, but please don't complain if you experience any strange behavior.


- Backup your personal data (Important)
- Download the ROM and GApps and transfer them to your device.
- Boot to recovery (TWRP recommended).
- Wipe the System, Cache, Data and ART/Dalvik cache.
- Flash the ROM + Gapps Zipfile.
- Flash the root solution of your choice (optional).
- Reboot your device.


The ROM has GApps persistence in between dirty flashes, so you only have to flash them once!
The root solution should be flashed together with every update (= ROM Update)


Currently Supported Root Solutions:

Magisk stable
Magisk versions higher than 17.1 doesn't require flash on every dirty flash depending on the device, some devices need you to flash it every time, unless your maintainer says otherwise it should be fine


ROM: DOWNLOAD HERE
Change Menu button with Recent Apps Fix (OPTIONAL)
GApps:
OpenGApps

In the meantime, I've read some feedback from other phone owners, who use PixysOS ROM, and it turns out that this is a very, VERY minimalistic ROM, with very few things to customize. Well, it's not a big problem, I'm just missing a few things to customize, that I've used in other ROMs. I'm gonna test it for a few more days. So far, this ROM is stable and fast.

TWRP 3.3.0-0 i9300
Format data & advanced wipe
PixysOS-1.0-20190623-UNOFFICIAL-i9300
AEX-8.1-RecentApps-Fix
Open_gapps-arm-8.1-pico-20190706
I've installed 20 apps.
Usage: Internet only.

First impressions, after couple of days:

It's a very minimalistic ROM, with very few customization options (which could be a good thing, depends on the individual's preferences). Privacy and security settings are absolutely basic (e.g., you cannot set which installed apps run in the background or run with the system startup etc., I miss that cool LOS panel). There is no way to remap hardware buttons (and you can't wake up the phone by home button). Some customization options known from other Oreo (and even Nougat) are almost non-existent, for example status bar, main screen has also very few settings, no LiveDisplay, no system profiles, alarm is not functional (looks like a bug) etc., that's not a problem for people who don't need it. The GPS sometimes is pretty lazy, but eventually it works somehow. Battery operating time is... acceptable, I thought that despite all this minimization, it would be better, with moderate use, battery lasts one full day, which I don't think should be a problem (and fortunately I didn't discover any suspicious battery drain during sleep mode). Oh, and unfortunately the security updates are almost a year old! (September 2018), so apparently this is the final version of this ROM.

This Oreo ROM is quite fast and stable (for me). Every other Oreo for S3 GT-I9300 I've tested, had noticeable performance and stability issues, but this one is kinda different. RAM management is OK. Stability was also OK, no sudden freezes, reboots, no overheating etc., I had only one problem - sometimes I experienced the same thing as with other Oreo ROMs - slight performance drop (I don't know why), and the phone had to be restarted, it happened every 2-3 days, so it's not a big deal I guess, I tried to install "android_lowram_enabler" (aka GO mode), but I'm getting "error 4". Also, just like with other Oreo ROMs, I had weird issue with Instagram, some videos in stories didn't play and live stream doesn't always work as it should (no such problems in Nougat).

Overall, for me, this ROM behaving quite stable so far, I'm also surprised at how fast it works. It's rather good for daily use. But LineageOS 14.1 is still better for me.

İf you gets Go mode flash error

ro.config.lowram=true
Save and reboot
Now go mode enable :)
