Well I did download the update using ota and its no where to be seen..?

Not sure if its related but the ota tool crashes all the time especially on fresh restart.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
then it didnt download obviously. download it again then.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] geoldr:
Is there a way of having it flash gapps right after the OTA update? Its pretty annoying to have to go back and flash it all over again and I always loose my google account! Always have to recreate it.

Hi

I'm noob here and sorry about my stupid question.

I'm currently using CM10(1022nightly) and now I'd like to try AOKP ROM due to its good reputation.

I found the installation on the first page and it says:

1) Make sure you have CWM

2) MAKE A NANDROID

3) Boot into recovery

4) Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik cache, then go into mounts & storage and format system!!!(If already on AOKP JB/CM10 you should be able to just wipe cache & dalvik. If you have ANY ISSUES, FULLY WIPE!!!)

5) Flash ROM

6) Flash Gapps

7) Reboot

I wonder can I just wipe cache and dalvik since I'm already on CM10 without formatting system?

I also found there is a Kernels section below and I don't know which one I should download? Or I don't even have to change my Kernel at all? If I really need to install a Kernel, should I install before flashing a Rom or after?

Also, if I decide to go back to stock ROM or CM10, is there anything I should be aware of before flashing AOKP Rom?

Thanks for the help, I really appreciate :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
Please don't make this more complicated than it has to be.

1.) Just follow the instructions exactly as they are stated in the OP.

2.) If you do that then you will have a nandroid. Therefore you can just restore it back to your previous ROM if you choose.

3.) You don't have to flash any kernels. I suggest you don't until you know what they are and what they're even for.

Its that simple.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bigal1542:
I have read that you can install stuff in an order in TWRP with the pre- and post- install folders. I have also read that this shouldn't be used because you want to clear the caches between installs. What do you guys recommend? Just looking to see what you guys say, especially since this ROM is updated so often.

Current install order:

1. This ROM

2. The Gapps listed in the OP

3. KT's Kernel

4. AT&T Modem (sometimes, I don't even know if this is needed)

Thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
you never need to flash a modem.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Dennis0201:
Thanks for the reply.

I did flash AOKP ROM, and it keep saying "clock has stopped" and "AOKP OTA updater has stopped" after booting.

Does that mean I need a full wipe to get rid of it?

Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] liltitiz:
Would that be logical? Is this information in the OP?

Here is a clue: those 2 questions share the same answer.;) read buddy
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] OTSS:
Flash Gapps and clear data for clock or any other app you're having issues with.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Dennis0201:
I wish I could see your post earlier.

I have problem to flash a ROM after mount system, and it got clashed when I tended to flash back to CM10.

I did a full wipe and now it works, and I just need some time to restore my setting in this ROM.

I'll keep in mind next time when I flash between different ROMs, thanks!!

Hey task, I know your a busy man but I have been using catlog app to check out the behind the scenes on this epic ROM and after the 10/21 build I keep seeing this continuously scroll as long as my phone is doing nothing. Why? Seems like the accelerometer is staying on.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] David Dee:
Thanks man! Your suggestion on apns was exactly how it was done on most of the roms on my previous device, albeit it was an international release. The challenge for us here is we have the ATT version, with no other home to go to, so we really appreciate any hospitality our southern neighbors would offer in making us feel at home. It is always refreshing to know there are those south of the border that are open to that.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:

I think sometimes we fail to realize how many countless hours of trial and error it takes for our devs to make the roms and kernels we use daily. I just want to say thank you for you time, efforts and support. :beer:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
lets see here... i put in between 50-60 hours at my real paying job, an infinity amount of hours taking care of my little girl, and countless hours (and i do mean countless hours) in developing this stuff for you guys. so i think my normal days have 36 hours in them. ;)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] :
Task.....I just want to thank you, I was with you from the very beginning on the sgs2 and when you got this phone i got it soon after. Thanks for everything.

Transaction ID #5CW77669487138906

Regarding the APNS, yes some people are lazy, but my main concern is getting the right ones entered into the phone. Will you have a list of your APNS like you did with the sgs2?

P.S. Ktoonsez, I didn't forget about you, i will donate when the 30 min PayPal restriction has expired.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
thanks dude! :D

if you're talking about the apn list in the FAQ. I had nothing to do with that FAQ. another user made it. But like I've said before. I only support ATT version phones on ATT service. I work this way because that's what i have, so thats what i can fully support. I dont like guessing that something will work on something i dont have. :D

I went back into recovery, restored to my backup and tried again to have the same result. Any recommendations?

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bobapunk:
Just to post my experience with MMS on AT&T. For some reason, you must have an active cell data connection to send or receive MMS. Wi-Fi will not work. That is why people who disabled Wi-Fi, Rebooted, messed with APNs, etc got the MMS to work. I learned this back on my captivate, if I had mobile data off, I could not send or receive MMS. The manager at the AT&T corporate store did not even know why. She did the normal reboot, new SIM blah blah... I figured out the mobile data bug/issue on my own...

No back to waiting for an AOKP update :highfive:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] kt_coder:
Are you flashing anything else with it? When I did the same thing happened to me. So I fully wiped, rebooted recovery, flashed AOKP, let that boot once, then went back to flash ktoonsez's kernel and the gapps. Seemed to work as I am running it perfectly fine right now! :-D
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] harryrasul:
I installed the ROM and the GAPPS and when it rebooted it went in AOKP animation loop. What can I do to fix this? Do I need to re-install the ROM again? any help would be appreciated
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] RampageRR:
This is normal Android behavior to my knowledge. The only reason no one notices it until using AOSP is because TouchWiz, Sense, etc switch to data automatically to send an MMS and then go back to wifi. AOSP does not do this automatically, so everyone just assumes its a rom bug when its normal behavior.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
its not android behavior. its ATT behavior. ATT Mms are used through data. No data or data connection=no sending or receiving Mms.

what are you talking about dude? ugh...

P.S- next time can you give even less information as you did in this post.

P.P.S- whatever you're talking about has nothing to do with this rom. recovery is separate from everything else so nothing with this rom would have any bearing on you not having recovery.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Rattles:
just wanted to stop in and say that i miss you and your ROM Task. i had to go back to stock because i need to send my phone back to Samsung (i have horrible reception issues) and even after only a day on TW, i am already having terrible withdrawal and i am counting the seconds till i can come back to this awesome rom!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ndn_enigma:
Just reporting that I still get the same flicker on your new ROM when pressing home on games such as Bloons Tower Defense 4 and Jetpack Joyride... the flicker is actually worse now, it's lasting longer when it happens (which is once every few times I try to re-create the problem) and also a little more of a delay from when the flickering begins... my system has been cache-wiped... dalvik cache wiped... ***-wiped.. Apart from that everything is running nicely.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] johnomaz:
About to update right now and am happy to see others have the flicker issue. Mine is thankfully not that bad. It happens when I wake my phone up and sometimes when I start up an app, but thats about it. I did drop my phone about a month ago and happened to go to a custom rom the next day so I wasn't sure if it was the ROM or something internally in my phone damaged. If its gone, great...if not, I'll give the 384 min freq a try. Thx for the update!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tintingkc:
Tried to skim through as much as I could to get an answer but didn't see one.

The ROM is running great but I am having a issue with calls after the at&t visual voice mail app takes a call. Any call after is garbled and distorted. Have to reset the phone to get it back to normal.

Went back to completely stock and wiped everything with a clean install. Any Ideas or suggestions on VM apps that are working?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Jirv311:
I'm not certain, but I don't think the Visual VM app from AT&T is even made for our phone, let alone AOKP. It's a crap app anyway.

If you hold down the 1 key in the dialer, that VM "app" works quite well. :silly:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rvt1000:
Try google voice. A much better visual voicemail app anyways.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] splxtreme:
Alarm

I did a search and found that someone else had the same issue, but didn't find a solution. I'm assuming use a different app, but I tried a couple that are OK, and I really would just like to use what comes with the ROM. Anyways, I was able to get the alarm to work fine as in playing a sound with the volume toggle, but I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to turn the dang thing off. I had to hold the power button to get it to stop. Going back into the app doesn't do anything and the recent list didn't have anything either.

On the plus side, it did wake me up because I wasn't able to snooze it :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] thejust:
are you running stock dpi? i was getting flckering when opening apps and such so i changed the dpi back to 320 and seems to have stopped so far.

edit: couple hours now still no flicker! :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zimplemeh:
Try using "YouMail" from Play store. It' what I'm using. It has lots of custom voicemail greetings too.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] banton56:
I'm using youmail but can't seem to get it to forward to voicemail and I cna't find in this rom where to manually set the forward voicemail number either. i get connection problem or invalid mmi code. I knew where to find manual settings in stock rom but can't find the setting in this rom. Anyone know or can help> i'm on Rogers in Canada. Thanks

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
You really need to look through the settings to familiarize yourself with the OS. This is pretty simple if you want to enter a voicemail number manually.

1.) Open the phone dialer

2.) Hit the menu button and go into settings

3.) Select Voicemail

4.) Select Setup

5.) Select Voicemail number and then enter the number you want to use.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] banton56:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] OTSS:
Weird bug I've had...

If I'm out of the App Drawer for any extended period of time (ie not using the phone for an 30 minutes-1 hour +)... I'll go to the Widgets Drawer and the 1st two pages of widgets are missing their preview icons, but the name of the widget is still there. Every other page has their icons, except the 1st 2 pages... to fix this I have to scroll past the 1st two pages and then scroll back and then the 1st page of preview icons will always show up again, and the 2nd page MIGHT show up..if not, I'd have to wait for a few seconds or keep scrolling back and forth and it'll show up.

And, the widgets aren't all widgets I downloaded... for example 1 of them is the analog clock and the other is "Activities" from Nova.

Loving this ROM tho!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 1weener:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] starryeyez:
I had this same issue. I called AT&T and had them reprovision my visual voicemail on my account and then I entered the voicemail number they gave me manually and everything was fine. I have to say I like the AT&T Visual Voice mail app the best, its basic and doesn't require a lot of setup. Hope that helps. Oh Youmail is a pain in the butt to get to work right. If you google it you can find steps on how to set it up quick.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] hoancai:
I've been having this incident occur and I haven't been able to find a single post that clearly matches it (clean install and everything). When I listen to any mp3s or use spotify, sometimes my volume will be at MAX VOLUME until I toggle my volume rocker up/down, then it will go back to being quiet again. To me, this is unsafe and I almost cringe when I forget to test the sound before putting the earbuds in my ears. If someone can offer me an explanation of what is going on, that'd be great.

I'm starting to think that's not the case since it's happening on several games. Some that worked fine before. Plus I will play several games of the same game before it forces my phone to reboot.

In previous versions of the rom that didn't happen. Plus another user said the same thing happens to him

I had a problem getting LTE also. The problem was the network mode kept going back to WCDMA Preferred as soon as I selected LTE/WCDMA/GSM.

Hope this helps.

Just so it's crystal clear, and yes, I have read all the instructions and so on.

The Nandroid backup is just a precautionary measure in case things mess up and you have to stay go back to the prior ROM, right?

I mean if you flash a new version of your current ROM, you wouldn't then use the same Nandroid back up, even if from a previous version of the same ROM?

Cuz Nandroid backups back up even the ROM and would simply write over the newly flashed ROM? I know a Nandroid replaces the kernal, but does it also restore the previous ROM, or is th newly flashed ROM still okay?

Essentially it would probably be easier to use Titanium since you would get the bulk of your phone back, minus the system settings? I could live with that each time I flashed a new version of the ROM.

Did this message even make any sense? Heh...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] grubby0:
A nandroid backs up your phone completley. If you restore from a nandroid it will put EVERYTHING back as to the point of the backup. Titanium is great just for user apps - never restore system apps form titanium or a backup.
