If not, then do the following:

Make sure you have CWM

MAKE A NANDROID ---> This means a full backup of your ROM.

Boot into recovery

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

Flash ROM

Flash Gapps

Reboot

Followed the instructions to the teeth!

Manufacturer fix? Not sure how that would happen when source for JB hasn't been released for this device.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Franky_V:
By manufacturer I meant Qualcomm. Idk anything about their source code (if they even release source code to public) or its release schedule. And I didn't know what the flickering issue stemmed from, but I figured it was in relation to the cpu. So therefore I thought there might have been something from Qualcomm that may have helped fix the issue. But I'll just presume it was your coding prowess :D

It goes without saying, that I have no experience with coding beyond intro java and vb classes. So my self-interpretation of dev comments may have led to a skewed understanding

I learned a ton about all of that you just asked in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=puSdhvC0ExY

It is CM, not AOKP, but I think it still stands true. Basically they buy drivers and try to build Android from there. Not an easy undertaking.

Hey gang. Just a quick report. My GPS is also no go really. I tried the GPSTest app, and it didn't help. Do I just clear it and reboot the phone maybe? I've also noticed that, on wifi, it'll lock quick and a bit more accurate, but it's never been like iPhone accurate.

Anyways. I've lived with poor GPS since I switched to Android 3 years ago. Can't miss what you've never had I guess.

Thanks again you guys for a f***in' amazing ROM! Love this!!

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] HRodMusic:
are you locking in at all? if not did you come from a sprint leak when you got here? if so this is what u gotta do, odin back to stock, once u do that, try to lock if its still not working, format your device from the setting not from recovery, after that it should lock, once it locks flash this back, that happened to me a few days ago.. :good:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DelphinusMinor:
Two questions. :cyclops:

If I flash AOKP Jellybean 10.16.2012(aokp_JB_d2att-ota-eng.task650-ktoonsez-10.16.2012), do I need to flash another kernel, or is the modified kernal in this ROM fairly fast/stable anyway?

Second, if I restore from a Nandroid backup I made while on Slim Bean, will it literally replace this AOKP rom and kernal if I flash them before restoring from my backup? Will it be pointless to restore from that Nandroid backup? Maybe in this case, I should use Titanium?

Would it be better if I just started totally fresh on this rom?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] thacounty:
Yea, I had to watch it two or three times to see if there was any way I could ever do that. The answer was still no after the third time haha.

Anyone else seeing issues with 10-16 build, been running fine on 10-11, then did an update and lost all data... phone sees network but not connecting to data.

I did a full wipe of everthing and reinstalled to see if something got mucked but it didnt help either. Not sure whats up with it.

aahhh crap... yup its showing 0 good call
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 1weener:
Make your Nandroid backup, do a FULL wipe and install this ROM and Gapps. The kernel is good and fast. You can always flash another kernel on it later if you chose to. You can resore your USER apps from TiBu.. NOT system apps.

A Nandroid is a complete and total copy of what you were running at the moment you made the backup. It replaces totally the ROM that is loaded before you restore the Nandroid.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
Follow the directions in the OP.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Andrew149:
I'm gonna try your trick
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DelphinusMinor:
Thank you for your reply, so if I want to stay on AOKP permenantly, I may as well start fresh? Since my current Nandroid back up, and ROM is from Slim Bean.

So restoring from that would replace the AOKP rom/kernal, so no point in using that Nandroid if I want to stay with the new rom and kernal.

I am going to go with the full wipe and fresh start me thinks. :eek:

You have to start fresh. You can not flash this ROM on top of what is there now, and if you restore your current Nandroid it has NOTHING to do with this ROM. You must FULLY wipe and start fresh.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] GalaxyHeart:
Sorry for the off-topic post...

We've had three (more?) lost IMEIs in this thread over the past week. I'm sure it's nothing to do with this ROM, but it's making me paranoid.

I was finally inspired to backup my own.

It took all of five minutes, and will save hours of sweat and tears in the unlikely event that I lose it.

I recommend that everyone does this, but please don't ask about it in this thread. If you need help, post in the relevant thread or send me a PM.

My WiFi Mac address is showing unavailable and I can't turn WiFi on. It does this on all jellybean ROMs for some reason. I did a complete wipe before flashing the firmware. If I flash back to stock with root. It works fine.

PS. I tried flashing the kernel as well.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] liltitiz:
Maybe you have missed it but Task has kindly asked to not post battery life in his thread. Since it has nothing to do with the ROMs development. It is all about your device and your personal usage.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Jonnyredcorn:
I've been having a connection issue with 10/16 that has been present for the past build or two but seems to have been magnified on 10/16.

It has to do with WiFi and it disconnecting. I then have to toggle WiFi off and on to get it back. My WiFi sleep policy is set to never sleep. I of course always do a full wipe, today I did a full wipe and reinstall this time without flashing ktoonez's kernel and the problem persists. I flashed ktoonez's kernel again to see if that helped and it didn't. I live in a small apartment so I know its not because of distance and I've never had this problem before the previous build.

Its not a huge deal since lte is available and verrryyy fast but it is somewhat of a battery hog and if WiFi disconnects it kills my idle time.

I'm not complaining just stating I have this issue, dunno if anyone else has it as well.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
Its not ROM related. It can happen when flashing anything. Its not hard to restore. ;)

Don't worry if you don't back it up. It takes all of 3-5 minutes to get it back. Most of the time. A reboot will bring it back. ;)

I searched and didn't see this reported. But with the newest build I've set my screen brightness super low. If falls to sleep or maybe I closed it and then when I unlock it the brightness is at 75%. Auto brightness off. It's not consistently doing it. But it happens.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] MethodX:
I lost my imei last week with CM10. I back it up the day before. Restored perfectly. I would suggest you guys back it up. Gives you a piece of mind. Looks like the injecting way if you didn't have a backup can be a hit or miss restoring normal LTE speeds. Takes a couple min. Then flash away ;)

Hey dudes! Thanks for the reply!

I've definitely tried clearing data for Google Maps. I usually do it after I flash a new update. It helps, a lot, huge difference! But it's still always a block off.

As for my previous ROM.. I came straight from Virgin Mobile (Canada) stock to AOKP. Nothing in between or after. I'm not sure if that matters or not. It locks pretty quickly. No problems with lock.

Could it be possible that this is a network issue and not so much the device and/or ROM? I ask, because on wifi, I'm like within a 10 step radius accuracy, which is pretty damn accurate. But on data, I'm always a full block away, and always at the exact same spot too. I'm very happy with both results in all honesty. But since I'm never on wifi, I was wondering if this is something I can fix. It's always killed me that the iPhone has better GPS than the Android (that and visual voicemail). I'm pretty bias with that I guess.

I am also experiencing another issue with ScreenCast, the screen recording app. I had previously mentioned how I couldn't get it to record. After messing around a bit and updating the ROM, it will now start recording, but this is what I see:

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/34960204/video_Oct_18_2012_0.mp4

I was wondering, Task, I know you use it too. Do you see the same thing? I've tried various settings on the app and no difference.

Thanks guys!

Hey man your definitely gonna love this ROM but read task o.p b4 installing and take your time. Also definitely try out the stock kernel that comes with it bcuz its a really good kernel. If you decide you would like a kernel that let's you really tweak your CPU then I highly reccomend ktoonsez kt747 kernel, it comes with a apk and widget called ktweaker and its awesome plus I can tell you first hand since task and KT work together on a lot of things that this kernel is very compatible with this ROM. Good luck and enjoy, I think you'll be pleased.

As a user of the navigation bar, I have one suggestion: on the lock screen there is no need for the navigation bar, nor the vacant black space that it leaves. Not that it's a big deal, but eliminating the navigation bar completely on the lock screen, or having the dim lights in the background (as it does when you open up camera app) would look nicer, IMO!

Redownload, full wipe per the OP, and reflash - only use the Gapps posted in the OP. It works fine for me, so you either had a flash problem or you're using inverted apps or some other non-standard item.

I don't remember where I saw this but on my s2 I had the ability to go from a voice call to a video call and I was wondering if it was built in to aokp.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DelphinusMinor:
Okay, I flashed this rom a few hours ago and finally got my phone from a fresh start to a point where I have all the basics installed, my prefs, and so on.

Then I did my Nandroid backup, and then copied the backup to my external card and my PC. Can never be too safe.

Also set a user/pass and now I am back to managing everything via FTP using FlashFXP(I also bookmark all directories I use on a regular basis).

I am all set. I love this rom! Woot! :good:

Awcrap, bug!

Basically when I try to do this thing where someone else does this thing that makes their screen flicker, mine...

still works great.

much love, *****in rom... Its the evening of the 18th, I flashed the night of the 16th, rebooted, then flashed gapps, then rebooted, then flashed KT747, then charged to full, haven't charged my phone since. Everything works like stock, but faster, better, and customized. I have tweaked the **** out of KT747, but that's all research.

I've even learned all kinds of cool things about logcat... amazing what the search function can do!

Long story short, thanks guys: I get that there's nothing in it for you; but I don't know how to do what you do, so I really appreciate it.

Task, I actually hold you up as a (personal) role model at this point. I work with a bunch of dip****s that call me at all hours of the day/night, *****ing because they screwed up their server cabinets (gettin all clicky) and thinking I'm gonne put in more hours on a 24 hour/week contract.

I actually asked myself today, "what would t650 do?"

I responded: "not throttle the dumb mother****er who can't think for fear of personal injury"

and I still have a job :)

My family thanks you too

The make a nandroid part of the OP did it for me. I've lost IMEI twice flashing this ROM.

Restore your nandroid, and start over from step one. A full nandroid brings IMEI back when you restore.

I'm getting the same thing. Also when I press the home button and I'm at the lock screen it will freeze for a few sec and starts to flicker. I have to disable HW overlay on this one. I've never had flickering issues on the previous builds.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Krazedkuniva:
Ran into a pretty big problem. This ROM was working great for the first couple days. No issues at all besides the occasional screen flicker. Then out of nowhere today, it starts rebooting whenever I try to do anything with it. It first started when I was exiting out of Winamp. And now it does it when you do anything with it--go to the play store, get a phone call, open an app, etc.

I'm on the 10/16 release, stock kernel, no OC/UV or anything like that. It was a clean flash besides the fact that TWRP wouldn't let me format data, but I wiped system instead. Anyone else had this problem?

Edit: Before I reflash, should I try to find a way to switch to CWM recovery so I can maybe wipe data before flashing?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Swiftks:
So what you're saying is that it wasn't a clean flash at all, since you didn't wipe data... What do you mean TWRP wouldn't let you wipe data?

I did the factory reset and cache wipes, but was not able to format data (TWRP kept saying failed when I tried to format data), so I wiped the system instead.

Edit: So to truly clarify, I did wipe data, I was not able to format data.

Which I would be fine with. I have everything backed up on my external sd, and had the ROM on there for flashing too. In any case, it wasn't able to format data.

I'm pretty new to the S3 actually. Is CWM the preferred recovery for flashing on this phone? I came from the skyrocket where the devs of the ROMs I was flashing preferred TWRP.

I think everyone is moving over to TWRP. It seems to be a better system and works well. Wiping data in TWRP wipes personal data. It is not used for flashing unless you want to wipe out all your stuff too. System wipes ROM data.
