Official Google now, much improved notifications, butter, a screen that flickers uncontrollably for no reason, random reboots, broken Netflix, occasionally muted phone calls, and ummmm other stuff. CM9 on the other hand is just a CH away from being stable, it's the closest I can get to a reliable aosp/aokp build on this model right now.

So bleeding edge cm10 with bugs or reliable stability with cm9. Your choice!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sultanqasim:
Don't forget the fact that CM10 has a fully functional camera that doesn't freeze on touch to focus or changing the resolution. The flickering doesn't happen too much, and can be stopped by disabling hw overlays. For me, CM10 is more usable than CM9 because I prefer a reliable camera.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] chrisj22:
I haven't had any camera issues with CM9 yet using all functions. I have had one screen glitch that required battery pull. Anyone else had this issue?

I'm guessing CM10 will get much better once jelly bean is official from Samsung for the S3 on Aug. 29??
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] o57marthas:
CM9 has been perfect for about a week. I just had the crazy screen glitch after I read your post. Very strange.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] gleonard3:
I get camera issues all the time. Reboot fixes it. No battery pull. I've read CM10s camera is better for some reason. Have not tried it. Other than that, this ROM is SOLID, IMHO.

no more cm9 nightly builds

from https://plus.google.com/u/0/117962666888533781522/posts/3gjXR6AoSa2

Today we kick off the nightly builds of the CM10 JellyBean code branch, builds will show up later this evening.

CM9 nightly builds for devices that don't receive a CM10 nightly will continue (for the meantime) but we are changing the timing on them to be once a week instead (aka weeklies). This will allow a means for us to test bug fixes and the like as they get merged into the ICS branch - as stated before, the CM9 branch is in an otherwise perpetual code-freeze.

SMS issue on Rogers

Hi all

Is anyone having issues sending SMS messages on Rogers in Canada ?

Some texts aren't received on my end for some reason..

And sometimes big delays.

I tested on my 4S and I get them right away so it's not a network issue.

Is there any setting to change or anything to trouble shoot ??

Any help would be much appreciated

Any idea when we will get CM 9 RC or stable? It seems like CM 10 is the focus, but it's pretty buggy. Also, anyone tried Simply Tapp on the latest CM 9 nightly?

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mikoal:
I can't find any CM9 archived anywhere.

Does that mean this ROM is no longer available?

Just a curiousity, why arent GAPPS included in custom roms?

Thanks

edit:I guess this answers my question kind of.

Since they never hit stable and since they stopped on CM9 and started CM10, there will be nothing new for CM9 for our S3.

But how come they got rid of the nightlies as well?

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/cyanogenmod-9-stable-now-officially-available-for-45-devices/
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aybarrap1:
Nightlies were dropped because there most likely just was not enough interest. Why make something with CM10 stable and CM10.1 nightlies based off Jelly Bean 4.1 and 4.2 (respectively) are available.

The main reason that GAPPS is not included in CM roms is because of the agreement reached between CM and Google. While android is Open Source, GAPPS is proprietary. Google agreed that CM could have GAPPS as a separate package but not bundled. Since AOSP roms are based off source, which does not include GAPPS it is typically kept separate. The only exception to this rule is when people modify a Stock Rom (i.e. Rom shipped with phones by Samsung, HTC, LG, etc) and modify it. These typically are stripped down of some things and/or have things added.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mikoal:
Great answer. So basically there is no more cm9 and no longer supported.

I noticed the instructions to flash roms are short and sweet here.

As a first time flasher using twrp. The same Cm9 or cm10 file can be flashed by twrp correct?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Clark Joseph Kent:
Yes using TWRP, I use TWRP, do your wipes and flash ROM & Gapps.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mikoal:
Do you still need gapps if apps were backed by tibu?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mikoal:
Why can u back up gapps with tibu and restore it using gapps? I couldn't find the answer
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrhaley30705:
Gapps is more than just maps and the play store. Several of them are system apps. Remember the rule about restoring system apps and data?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mikoal:
T o be safe I learned to never restore system app and data.

Definitely weird....so yesterday the MMS app worked with extended messages. It will error out when sending initially then follow through with sending it. I did notice this morning the MMS app changed. Larger names up to phone number partially missing. When that happened it split the messages. I just restored the apk again and it works with extended messages. Something definitely is weird with the MMS app. Not sure if it is AT&T having an issue or if it is the software itself.

From what I have seen the IMEI thing seems to happen when you flash a ROM not meant for your device. I have flashed nearly every ROM meant for the AT&T SGSIII and not lost my IMEI. Others who did seem to have flashed ROMs meant for other SGS IIIs.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Bonsatsu:
I've flashed all the different AT&T SGS3 ROMs on XDA many times and have not have an IMEI issue. I won't say I'm 100% certain that your IMEI will be safe, but if statistics say anything, and as long as you know what you're doing, I would say you're fine to flash CM9. Make sure you do a factory reset/data wipe, then flash CM9, then flash Google Apps.

View attachment 1208841

I am interested in going to an AOSP based ROM such as CM9, I believe I recall seeing bravomail talk about going back and forth from AOSP to Stock and it being quite sticky. My question is, is there an official or preferred/best practices-way to go from stock ROM based "Nostalgia" to "CM9", I know I will probably have to flash a different kernel just not sure which one, perhaps a walk through or a previous post/thread that covers this? I am running the (Touch)CWM 5.8.4.7. Any suggestions if there was a simple step by step instruction I would love it. BTW thank you to the team for bringing this to us!! really bloody excited! If I had some spare money I would def. donate tomorrow is Payday so maybe I will:good:

Going from a stock ROM to CM9:

Boot into recovery.

Factory Reset/Wipe Data

Flash CM9

Flash Google Apps

Reboot

Flashing from CM9 BACK to stock ROM:

Reboot recovery

Factory Reset/Wipe Data

Flash Stock Kernel (I suggest Sammy)

Reboot back into recovery (Use the option in CWM "Reboot recovery")

Flash stock ROM

Reboot

This is what I've done to go back and forth and have had no issues.

First time CM9 user. I just flashed the 7-20 build but, after the first boot, it's been sitting for awhile on the animated cyanogen mod splash screen. Appears to be stuck. I used CWM Recovery v5.8.4.5 to flash it, stock ROM was previously running on the phone. Any ideas?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] RampageRR:
Coming from a stock TouchWiz rom requires a full wipe. Which would entail a Factory Reset, and cache/dalvik cache wipes. I'd guess you didn't do a factory reset if you're getting a boot loop.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] WA_Bob:
I installed the 7/22 release yesterday with the latest G-Apps and ran it for a few hours to see how it did. It worked smooth and fast for the most part with a few bumps along the way:

- After I first installed it, I had trouble reading my MicroSD card until I rebooted the phone twice. Then it had no problems.

- Camera didn't work of course, but it didn't crash my phone. I just had to hit the home button.

- I had to log back into my WiFi each time I rebooted. I didn't have to re-enter my password, but I had to turn it off and then back on. Also, it defaulted to my 5 Ghz band every time and I had to manually check my 2.4 Ghz if I wanted it to use that. (I get better reception with the 2.4 inside and around my house).

I really need a camera so I went back to stock rooted, but I'm looking forward to the next iteration! Tossed my first donation into the pot too so to support nad looking forward to a phone with CM on it again! :D

Voicemail/Google Voice issues

Is anyone else having issues configuring Google Voice for voicemail on this build? Upon trying to configure through either the Google Voice app or the Dialer settings, I first get a message stating the system could backup the old settings. Then I get a message stating it failed to set the new settings.

I'm currently seeing this on the 20120723 build and it persisted all previous builds I tried. Using the 20120723 build, the gapps here, and the camera fix that's floating around. I tried wiping data and cache and reflashing these zips without restoring any of my data to rule out any of my apps. The issue persists on a fresh install with just Google Voice installed. I also tried this on the CM10 build and the issue persisted. Is this the ROM something else? I don't see anything in logcat worth mentioning when I reproduce this issue.

Yes, I know I don't have any signal and the phone can't contact AT&T right now when I screencapped these message, but the issue persists when I do have signal.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] naturefreak85:
It's for 2 reasons,

1) You have no signal, can't change Forwarding if you can't make a call

2) It's a known issue, you have to manually change forwarding, but it doesn't reflect in the settings. Under Google Voice go to your phone and click "Set up Voicemail" it will give you a number to dial on your keypad and you will be able to change the call forwarding
