I've installed it yesterday, so I have little to say so far. Security updates are from September 2018. I've installed 17 apps. Performance and battery life are average, for now it runs quite stable (no overheating, no sudden reboots and freezes). Only sometimes (very rarely) I get "settings are not responding" error, when I try to browse it. There are dozens of options to customize (Ashes panel). I'm going to use this this ROM for a few more days to test it.

Thank you for your comment, glad you like it.

TWRP 3.3.0-0 i9300
Format data & advanced wipe
FireHound-4.9-UNOFFICIAL-20190624-i9300.zip
open_gapps-arm-8.1-pico-20190711.zip
I've installed 20 apps.
Usage: Internet only.

OK, so after couple of days, this ROM works rather stable for me. Just like I've said earlier, security updates are old (October 2018). Overal performance and battery life are average (PixysOS V1 Oreo ROM for S3 is faster - probably because is VERY slim, and LOS14.1 has better battery life).

This ROM has so-called "Ashes panel" which contain a dozen or so options to customize. But unfortunitly for me, the ROM itself and the panel lacks option to remap hardware buttons. So, there is no working hardware "recents apps" button, which is bad news for me. But there is option to turn on the navigation bar, where it is possible to set "recent apps" virtual button. Unfortunately, for me, the navigation panel is broken. This bug is weird. After I turned on navbar, and reboot the phone, 10 seconds after the system was loaded, the screen went black... but the touch panel was still working!! Because when I pressed power button for 2 seconds, the vibrations told me that the menu appear, and when I blindly pressed "turn off" option (I didn't see it, I just knew where it was), the phone turns off. I thought I'll need to flash this ROM again to get rid of navbar, but somehow I was able to get into the control panel very quickly and disable navbar before screen went black. I don't know if it's only broken on my phone or on other S3s too.
Anyway, this was the most serious bug I've encounter while testing this ROM. Apart of that, like I've said before, when I browse settings, sometimes (very rarely) I got error: "settings are not responding". And also one of the two built camera apps (not that black one) sometimes is acting crazy, like when I tried to take a panoramic photo, and the camera went nuts and started to snap pictures on its own! LOL. It was soooo funny, and also scary LOL.

So apart of broken (for me) navbar, I guess this ROM is OK for daily work (for me), I'm using my phone for: browsing Instagram, Facebook and VKontakte, using Chrome and Google News, checking weather and play store, sometimes for maps and GPS tracker for walk/bike, sometimes to listening to DI.FM radio, taking photos and videos, and some minor operation on files. During these few days, I never got sudden reboot or freeze (and I have not installed "go mode"), also no overheating. :good:

SMS configuration

Hi, I've installed yesterday the ROM and it works flawlessy so far but I've not find the way to configure device to Send/Recieve the SMS.
It's not a matter of SIM because the same SIM on another device works as aspected.
How to set/configure the device for the SMS service?

Regards,
Marco

Random reboot
Home button not Wake up while display off

deentky · Jul 22, 2019

I came back to this ROM and I noticed that RAM management with android_lowram_enabler AKA "go mode" is much worse than without, which makes the ROM unstable. This is weird, because it's not supposed to be in this way (I guess). Maybe this "go mode" is not optimized for S3, maybe there are some conflicts, I don't know. Maybe my phone's broken (I doubt it!).
All I know is this, without "go mode", even with heavy load and switching between apps, each one was stable. But with "go mode", the amount of RAM drops veeeeery quickly, and apps become unstable, which leads to reboots.
I'm monitoring RAM with app called "RAM Monitor", it has flowing interface, so I can see exactly how much of free RAM is available at any time. When I installed my set of apps, and I used them, after a few hours, with "go mode" it was only 100-150 MB free RAM, and if I started to open apps, they started to be unstable. So I've cleared out everything - made a clean ROM install, then I installed everything again, and without "go mode", under the same conditions, it was 250-300MB

Yes, that's twice. I've checked it all out a couple of times. This is not a one-time observation.

But it all really doesn't matter

This is the same as the Viper v5.2 Oreo ROM.
With "go mode", no sudden, itself reboots, but very unstable behavior of some applications, bad RAM management.
Without "go mode", the system can reboot itself at any time, but the apps are working fine, very good RAM management. Tonight, late at night, after just few hours of working, it started to reboot to recovery mode.

So that leaves me with PixysOS V1, which so far is the most stable Oreo ROM for S3 I've tested. Probably because it's so incredibly bare bone

-for random reboot fix use android go mode and enable zram on kernel manager
-home to wake option not include in this rom because this rom dont have this feature.

Hi, I've just installed this ROM and it's working really well (better than any other I tried on the S3) but the call screen doesn't work. I can still make and recieve calls but the screen is black the whole time so I can't use speaker or keypad during a call. I can't even hang up. Any idea how to fix this?

Thanks,
J
