This is the official nightly build of CM9 for the Galaxy S3 on T-Mobile. It's not a final release yet, but it's perfectly fine as a daily driver.

Known issues being worked on:

* LED is a little derpy

* Camera occasionally freezes

Install instructions:

1. Install ClockworkMod Recovery for "d2tmo". Sorry, CM cannot provide support for other recoveries, although they may work fine.

2. Get.CM for "d2tmo"

3. Reboot into recovery and install

(or just use ROM Manager)

Google Apps are not included in this ROM. You'll need to find those yourself if you want them.

This build is nearly complete and should make it into the 9.0 final release on time. We are also actively working on CM10 for this device, builds available soon! Enjoy!

Yes !!!

The godfather had landed !

Any chance of you guys including some kind of file explorer ? Pretty please Steve...........
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] FRuiTBoOT:
Wondering if Data transfer between Phone and PC is fixed or if just affects everyone differently.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] 2k1civicexcoupe:
awesome! Cant wait to give this a try. Debating if i should try cm10 first. Either way thanks for hard work and determination for this rom!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Serious_Beans:
All is right in the world again.

Thanks Steve. Flashing the latest nightly now :D
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] babymatteo:
+1. Only problem thats keeping me from running CM9 right now.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Serious_Beans:
Steve said in the unofficial nightlies thread that he fixed MTP in the 0717 nightly :D so flash away!

Its the last entry in the change log at the bottom.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bluecluenj:
On my Nexus S, it was always recommended to do all the wipes and flash the ROM and then while still in CWM, flash the gapps. I see different instructions here and there for the S3, like flashing the ROM and then rebooting, then going back into CWM to flash gapps. Any advice for this one? Thanks!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Serious_Beans:
Flash rom + gapps + kernel(if you want to). Don't need to reboot first and flash gapps.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] djintrigue808:
I can confirm MTP is fixed in the newest nightly! :good:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tmobilewinguser:
im on the latest nightly 20120717 and MTP isn't working for me everything else seems fine tho
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] aNYthing24:
MTP is working fine for me.

The only things that are kinda buggy - camera with focusing, the LED light, and the way the phone handles notifications when you are listening to music.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tmobilewinguser:
ok so mtp works fine for me when i use my nephews windows computer but when i use my mac it doesnt seem to work
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] djintrigue808:
MTP never worked on my mac. I had to download Android File Transfer and install that on my mac and put the phone on PTP. Idk if PTP works with the newest nightly cause I have yet to hook my phone up to my mac.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tmobilewinguser:
yea i got android file transfer and i have PTP checked but still no go
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] rayman2k1:
Wonky CWM?

So, I've been testing out all the ROMs and nothing beats pure google (debloat all you want, touchwiz sucks ass). So I've been testing out the CM9 builds. I noticed that no matter how many times I'd flash gapps (the 20120429 version) it seemed like it wouldn't take. By that I mean that other than Play Store and sometimes Talk, no other Google App would appear. It's not a big deal because I have TB of all the apps I use, so I'd just install them from backups.

BUT, on the newest nightly (coming from a wipe after rerduM), I noticed that my widgets did not show up. Not one of the widgets associated with the apps I had installed from TB were showing up. So, I thought I'd wipe again and try it. Still the same. Has this happened to anyone? Am I missing something here?

Also, is there a way to clean out the /system partition? Doing the factory reset is fine and manually formatting /data too, but is it possible and/or advisable to wipe the /system partition to sort of "start anew" with no artifacts from previous ROMs? Do installer scripts do this automatically? If so, why do I still see some setting from previous installations when I wipe and install the new nightlies?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ikhtiaralam:
Are LED notifications working properly yet?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ikhtiaralam:
Eh, sorry. I just looked up someone reported they aren't working correctly.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] InversedTech:
How many of you have gotten your IMEI's deleted after flashing the nightlies?

I'm really tempted to flash (I haven't even rooted my phone yet), but I just want to make sure I wont lose that number.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Android_Monsters:
you won't lose your imei

Bunch of conspiracy theory nonsense. Backup the folder if you are the paranoid type
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] swa2k4:
Just put my sister's phone on this from stock, rooted from ODIN and installed CWM through Rom manager. IMEI Intact! Needed a more stable outgoing phone calls for her without pressing speaker on and off all the time or else would have gone with CM10.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] NikNexus:
She can use CM10 fine. Just needs to go to actual Phone app>setting>enable voice suppression. This should fix the call sound issue...

Let me know if that helped.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] swa2k4:
I do not see that option in the phone app settings in cm10, i do see it in cm9. Will this fix the issue? Please direct me to where this option is in cm10 thank you!!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] InversedTech:
Ah, I did not know that. No wonder then.

Thanks!

There's no real way to avoid it. As of now, it seems that flashing anything can risk you losing your IMEI.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] KeithLM:
I installed CM9 for the first time tonight. Install went fine, but after starting up and signing into my account ICS did not automatically start downloading apps I had installed before. This is something I've seen in Android for quite some time now, it's always been hit or miss, at best installing perhaps 75% of my prior apps, but this time it did none. Is there some way to invoke this?

Also, can anyone tell me where that setting is that tells it to add shortcuts for every app you install? The first time I've ever seen this was when I set up my GS3 the first time. I figured a setting that bad must have been part of touchwiz. I guess it's ICS, and is the worst default setting I've encountered in Android yet.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dave2metz:
Right after you sign in with your Google account, there are boxes to check for restoring all previous apps. You can easily miss it if you keep hitting the next button. To stop the shortcuts for every app you download in the market, just go into the market/play store. Once there, go to settings and un- check the automatic shortcut box. Hope this helps...

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] KeithLM:
OK, thanks. I must have gone too fast. I found the play store setting, thanks. I wonder whose idea that one was.

Any idea what happened to all the folders that used to be available? I'm used to seeing contacts with phone numbers and starred contacts as folders, along with a bunch of other folders. Now I only see generic folders and bluetooth.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] InversedTech:
Are anyone's screen lock sounds "missing"?

I have mine enabled, but they're not going off, nor are the keyboard sounds.

I think it may be because I flashed a different kernel, but I'm not so sure.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dave2metz:
Have you checked under sounds. Towards the bottom?

Pebble Blue Samsung Galaxy S3 (T-Mobile Style)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] InversedTech:
Yes.

I said that I have them enabled.

My notifications work fine, it's just that screen lock sounds and keyboard input sounds aren't going off.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Zephyron:
I cant seem to get my computer to recognize my phone as an MTP device on the 27 nightly. It wont show up under mycomputer and says device driver failed to install. Anyone know how to fix this?? Uninstalling the driver for MTP in device manager doesnt help
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] kcolatay:
I had the same issue.. however I plugged it up to another port and it worked..
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] EGBTMagus:
Anyone know of a better camera app then the default one? I feel like the one included in the firmware takes pretty poor pictures compared to the Samsung app.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Susasama:
So, i finally got around to getting Wallet to work (yay!) But when i try to activate my account, it tells me NFC is disabled, and needs to be on. But i can't find it in -any- of the menu settings to turn it on.... Help? Using 7/28 nightly.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] djintrigue808:
Should be under system settings/wireless&networks/more... is it not there?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Susasama:
Nope, i knew it used to be in there which is why i'm kinda dumbstruck...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] djintrigue808:
I know some ppl have been having problems with NFC disappearing. Did you try wiping everything (system, dalvik, cache) and reflashing? I know its a hassle but it'll probably do the trick.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Susasama:
Final edit: Got wallet working. Thanks :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Zephyron:
Does anyone else have problems with the browser randomly closing? Not force closing since there is no error message, it just closes and when reopening it starts from home page again

Sent from my SGH-T999
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] EGBTMagus:
Nope. The rom has been really stable.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] stonew5082:
i use camera zoom fx not sure its better though.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] SimPRoBer20:
How can I enable the on screen soft keys?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] NikNexus:
I do believe the setting should be the same as CM9 for the calling settings in CM10. I am currently running CM9 but i think i might be flashing that new build some time today for CM10. I will let you know if its the same once i flash it later.

---------- Post added at 09:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:33 AM ----------

This happened to me when flashing build 26 over my previous build. I decided to do a full wipe (data included) and this stopped the problem. I'm now on build 28 and havent had my browser close on me once.

Let me know if this helped...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] gary.lavin:
Any tips on how you got Wallet to work?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] AviatorJud:
Having issues playing music in Apollo...

Music stutters at least once per song. Nothing intensive running in the background.

Also any notification mutes the music until the next song starts.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] AviatorJud:
Yes, seems to happen only with certain websites.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Zephyron:
I actually did do a full wipe and it was my first time flashing build 27. Might be the trinity kernel I flashed causing problems. I'll try doing a full wipe and reflash without the kernel after this time and see if it's the problem

Sent from my SGH-T999
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] EGBTMagus:
Just noticed that my device won't rotate the screen. Anyone have this issue also?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] IRIE4IPIER:
Those are ugly on a phone, especially in landscape games/apps where it don't disappear. Just takes up precious screen real estate. Why do people like those?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] nakolas69:
im on 7/22 nightly anything worth putting new build on??
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] stonew5082:
There's a bunch of bug fixes
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] nakolas69:
so the size of it doesnt matter cuz there all the same....?

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Evo4eva:
I'm sorry, but was this meant for me?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] stonew5082:
No one in particular. :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] AviatorJud:
Yep. None of the major issues like this or the camera stuff have been addressed yet. If you look at the change log for the past week you'll see its only been very minor changes.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] AviatorJud:
Does anyone know if its possible to get the stock alarm clock widget to work in CM? I tried installing the apk from stock and the install failed.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] IRIE4IPIER:
This exploit has been patched by Google already and people who want to use their phones as a credit card are asking for trouble. And by the way people keep their phones glued to their face, good luck scanning their phone with that tag anyways.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Evo4eva:
Well I'll be waiting until at least the LED is fixed before flashing. The stock rom is doing fine for me right now. Thank you though.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] swa2k4:
Led had no problems on cm9 for one of my devices. What was the issue? No findings here
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] milenko11:
Nvm
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Beakerzor:
this app is amazing, I bought it this morning and its very awesome, so many settings

the only things its missing are HDR and "Best Shot", but at least it has burst shot.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] brucedeluxe169:
So whats the verdict? Is CM9 a better fit for our phones at this point than CM10? Anyone have experience with both?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] stonew5082:
Dude cm10 is far from ready. This Rom is practically done.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jgalan14:
I wouldn't say far from ready, it could be used as a DD, depending on your priority, personally tho I'm back to stock till cm10 has project butter the animations are amazing, like sending a text just looks so smooth
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] AviatorJud:
The issue is that the led is basically useless for all notifications. Sometimes it flashes twice and then stops. Sometimes it stays solid until you unlock the phone. The colors and flash pattern that you set in settings doesn't seem to do anything. So basically...it doesn't work at all. I would really like this fixed above all else.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Beakerzor:
I can't get past the camera. I'm planning on going back to stock Samsung ROM. Unless someone can tell me how to install Samsung's camera app on CM9.

Is there at least a way in CM9 to set the JPEG quality to 100%? Or better yet, save as PNG or some lossless format?

I really miss the HDR and Best Shot mode.

help!

thanks in advance

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] evan742:
I'm not getting 4G signal. Is there something simple that I'm just doing wrong? I get 4G when using the stock ROM, but not CM.

Also, it's not just that I want to see the "4G" at the top of the screen. Speed tests on stock ROM get 4G speeds and CM only gets 3G.

2G networks isn't checked. If it was I wouldn't be getting 3G either.

Anything else simple that I'm missing?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] durhamite:
You may have lost you imei. Check for it in settings. It it is 0 that is your problem. There was s a fix though in the regular dev forum for tmo
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ce_rob:
actually, i believe there have been reports of slow data with both CM9 and CM10 (i've experienced it as well with both). if he's getting service/data, his IMEI should be intact.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] evan742:
Yeah, I still have IMEI.

Stock ROM shows 4G, CM9 shows either 3G or H. Last time I did the test I got around 14000kbps on stock rom and only around 5000 on CM, but this time the actual speeds were around the same. So, I guess it's working properly now. Still, wonder what was wrong before.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] KeithLM:
H is for HSDPA and is equivalent to what the 4G indicator shows. Based on what I read either earlier in this thread or in another about CM based roms, you will see 3G more often as it's reporting accurately, and it will not use 4G unless data is being transferred. This is the same as stock, but the stock rom doesn't always show the truth.

As for why it varied, were you doing your tests in the same location and around the same time of day? I've found mobile speeds to vary quite a bit and even though I'm in an area where we supposedly have 42mbps, I almost always get less than 10mbps.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] stonew5082:
He speaks the truth. 4g is hspa+ for T-Mobile. And no one on earth gets 42 mbps on a cellphone lol.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] evan742:
I did read the earlier post about the 4G in the stock ROM basically being a lie. I was more concerned with the huge difference in speeds showing that I wasn't getting 4G speeds than the little icon on the top. Just to clarify though... H on CM means the same thing as 4G on stock? My CM7 build on Nexus One (I just upgraded from N1) said H, but it wasn't capable of 4G. CM9 doesn't make the distinction between whatever HSPA+ speeds the Nexus was getting and the speeds that the Galaxy S3 gets?

And yes. I had tested from the exact same spot at the same time of day. I tested on stock ROM and then immediately flashed CM9 and tested again.

---------- Post added at 09:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:08 PM ----------

Oh, also. I know there's known problems with the camera, but I haven't seen anyone specifically mention the torch app. When I set it to high fashlight, it doesn't turn on at all. Not a huge deal, but a bug nevertheless
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] KeithLM:
I believe the Nexus One has HSDPA capabilities also, just not HSDPA+.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] FSUSeminole:
I can't get CM9 to flash? Trying in ClockworkMod 5.5.0.4 and I'm getting:

assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "d2tmo"

blah blah error in zip, status 7.

Installation aborted.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] KeithLM:
This has been addressed earlier, you need a later version of ClockworkMod to flash CM9 on the GS3.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] FSUSeminole:
ok

---------- Post added at 11:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:12 PM ----------

Alright, so I updated to the latest version inside the ROM manager app, and now it won't see my external SD Card with the ROMs on it. I'm seeing folks recommend you format/new partition then it will show... Anybody else running into that?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] rsalina9:
Yes all cm10 based roms have the slow data issue.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] AviatorJud:
But we're talking about CM9 here. Does 9 have the issue too? Cuz i feel mine has been slow too.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] capcanuck:
ro.ril.hsxpa=1

ro.ril.gprsclass=10

Add that to your build.prop using ROM toolbox, should help your data speeds
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] AviatorJud:
Thanks. Can you explain a little bit what these lines do? And do I need to add them after every new flash?

Speed test results were identical after adding these lines.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jgalan14:
Did you reboot? It should make it a difference! I think what the problem really is the rom only uses hspa+ 21mbps(theory) and the phone only uses that instead hspa+42mbps,only reason I think that is because I get exact same speeds as my galaxy nexus, adding the lines did help tho

The picture above is base on aokp but aokp is base on cm9 so is the same
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] milenko11:
I can't delete photos using the gallery and long sms won't go through correctly unless I have them split up. Anyone else?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Beakerzor:
it might be your ClockworkMod, mine is 5.8.4.7
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] AviatorJud:
Yep I rebooted. Only getting 6mbps down, 1.5mbps up.

I didn't think these phones had the 42mbps capability.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] djxspike:
Same here... I'd like to figure how to make Wallet work....

This phone is HSPA+ 42 capable, but it may not be supported by the ROM yet.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] speedbreaker:
when i try flashing i keep getting a error saying getprop( ro.product.device) does anyone know a solution to this? do the roms have to be changed to update.zip or still be kept with the names unchanged when downloaded?

can you also flash a none t mobile version of CM to this phone? its like the t mobile version of cm is not flashing on my phone for anything its so fraustrating!

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] KeithLM:
Anybody else seeing a decrease in GPS accuracy and speed? I noticed that mine's been getting worse over the past few days. I just updated the rom to 7/31 last night and it's even worse now. It doesn't respond very quickly, I have a speed indicator in my car dock app and it is a few seconds behind, and when I watch my progress in Google Maps the icon jumps instead of moving smoothly along. It's reminding me of my G2X, which was horrible, and this is not the way it behaved with the stock rom. When stock it was rock solid, very fast and very smooth.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] djxspike:
Try this:

Get GPS Status: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eclipsim.gpsstatus2 Menu > Tools > Manage A-GPS state > reset then download
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] KeithLM:
I've used that app before. It just seems like such a kludge. I don't need it with the stock rom to keep the GPS running fine, but with CM it seems a requirement and it has to be done manually on a regular basis. Something is wrong there.

Update: Installed GPS Status, reset the data, later on I go in the car, GPS took a good 20-30 seconds to lock on, whereas with stock, and early on with CM, it was nearly instant. After it locked it appeared to update on the map regularly, however when I came to a stop a few times the compass acted erratically until I was moving again. The speed indicator lagged when I came to a stop also, it took a couple seconds to recognize that I was at a full stop.

With stock I went over 10 days without rebooting and never used GPS Status and the GPS was always rock solid. Just recently, I can't say if it happened with the 7/27 ROM or sometime between installing that and 8/1, I've noticed a decrease in overall performance. In My Tracks I now get the occasional jump of several feet off my path and then back to where I am. Something that never happened before.

Have you tried wiping and re-installing?
