[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Gandalf:
So let me get this straight. You're now using the GoogleGallery.apk from the GROUPER or MAKO rom, and the liblightcylce.so from which of those 2 ROMs ?? You worded that kind of weird. Just want to clarify.

Also, does your camera freeze when attempting to use autofocus, like the other cameras with working photosphere?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xiphosurus:
You're not being helpful. Which Google Voice bug are you talking about?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] blackroseMD1:
I used GoogleGallery and liblightcycle.so from the Mako rom and it still freezes up after a picture. Doesn't seem to be the workaround I was hoping for.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Gandalf:
Yea thats what i thought for a second. But photosphere is F'd up across the board anyway so who cares
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] loonieryan:
Here is a flashable zip. Make sure you flash it AFTER the ROM and AFTER Gapps. Also, you'll need to clear data for the Gallery app before running camera/gallery.

Works like a charm for me on 2013-02-13 CM10.1 nightly: photo sync with Google/Picasa, Photosphere, still pictures, video. Let me know if you run into any issues.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sNoxious:
9 days left for the M2 release, I hope. :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Gandalf:
Does the autofocus work though? or does it require you to set the scene to Action like before?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] loonieryan:
Autofocus works just fine. Try the flashable zip; worst case you can always easily revert it by flashing CM10.1 again.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Gandalf:
awesome. I'm gonna try it out now then and let you know. Generally, any camera with photosphere had a jacked up Autofocus, and required you to either 1) set scene to Action or 2) tap to focus prior to taking a picture, otherwise it would lock up and you would have to reboot in order to get the camera to work again.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] loonieryan:
Ok, I may have jumped the gun and spoken too soon... mine is locking up with the Mako version of GalleryGoogle.apk. I'm testing more extensively now with the Grouper version of GalleryGoogle.apk...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Johnny424:
I love your enthusiasm.. but I don't think it will be that easy.. it may be a bit more complicated then swapping out the gallery.apk

but if anyone does get it working be sure to let us know :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] loonieryan:
Ok, I was wrong. Autofocus is definitely broken, both with the Mako and Grouper versions. I can live with having to touch to focus though if it gives me Google Photos/Picasa sync. Time to take a look at the code and figure out why the autofocus breaks things...

Delayed text messages

Hi guys,

I haven't had the time to follow the posts lately so I've been updating it only ( by Rom manager). I'm not sure if this issue is related to my device/Rom or Rom Manager but I was texting tonight then suddenly, my cell vibrated like 20 times, I checked it and received everything I missed out since many days. Any idea?

Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bmvik:
That's what I have been talking about. Look up two of my previous posts. Yes I haven't mentioned the messages being backed up like this. But same issue. But texts were only backed up for a few hours. I thought it was related to the text app not functioning right and not deleting old messages. Sounds kinda silly I know. So btw I press on text it says Sent 5:55 Received 6:28 I have full signal. Called ATT tech support too. No problem with ' provisioning'. What's up with this delay. Not cool. Anyone would be : why aren't you responding to my text.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Fallon:
Running into data connectivity issues here as well. Toggling airplane mode usually fixes things & creates a deluge of Email and what not that hadn't been delivered in a while.

Edit: still on the 2/9 nightly I think. What is the recommended modem version these days?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] czechpunk:
On AT&T should still be LK3
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Gandalf:
Negative. While LK3 is the most up-to-date radio, that does not mean that EVERYONE will get better results with it. Radios are largely based on location. One person may use LK3 in new York city and have amazing results, while someone in Georgia may have awful results, but be alright with an older radio.

You will need to try them out for yourself and see what works for your specific case. :thumbup:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] czechpunk:
Better than I could've put it, thanks for he extra info.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] loonieryan:
There was no 2/14 nightly? I don't see it on get.cm but I haven't checked Jenkins...

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] loonieryan:
Too bad... without a nightly flash and reboot I've been hit by the home button bug that occurs after 24 hours lol
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 02busa:
Well at least they merged the 4.2.2 code... Flashed it on my skyrocket about and hour ago. At least half the device builds failed last night.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] slicetwo:
I'm having the same issue. I just flashed CM10.1 last night. right now i have 86% battery with 27 minutes of screen time and a total of 2:13 on. it's a ****ton worse than the stock rom i was running.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] flexfulton:
Then go back to stock rom and stop wasting our time and space.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mmurphmsu:
Try the new build of Carbon ROM. Its great on battery and already on 4.2.2.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jpstiehl:
You are using a ROM build that is in development and changes nightly hence the name. There is no need or reason to get so emotional about your battery usage. It's very simple,either try to fix the problem or use something else but please don't complain w/o adding anything productive to a development thread.

Now, if this were a wide spread problem then tons of people would be *****ing about it or it would be fixed because unlike yourself there are people who actually try to help with development in their on constructive way.

That out of the way, you should perform a full wipe and flash the latest nightly or your favorite (everything works) build and then re-flash the latest GApps. Furthermore, the next Nightly for the D2ATT will be 4.2.2. I synced up to this commit http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/31798/ and built an unofficial of my own and so far everything that I use works. :D
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] slicetwo:

---------- Post added at 03:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:00 PM ----------

first off, im not emotional. the term "****ton" is very common in my vocabulary. secondly, i was simply concurring with another person on the thread. thirdly, i thought this thread was for reporting issues and looking for help. i know now that i was incorrect and will post in the proper q+a thread. people can be so rude around here. it's ridiculous. i posted in the wrong place. didn't realize it. at least you were pleasant about it.

---------- Post added at 03:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:03 PM ----------

i'll look into that. this is the first rom i've flashed to my phone. i have cm 10 on my touchpad so i figured i'd give it a whirl on my phone.

thanks!

trolol and awayyy!! Expect typos this is my phone.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] smeatr0n:
You guys are reporting almost identical battery life. Roughly 30 minutes of screen on time out of 15% battery equates to about 3.34 hours screen time total. What's the problem? I'm assuming everyone is giving their ROM three full charge cycles before complaining about battery life right? No? You're flashing and complaining 30 minutes later? Siiiigh.

I went back to cm10 and I'm getting double the battery life than cm10.1 with stock kernel. I have zero wakelocks on cm10 which is why the battery life is so much better.

Zero wakelocks is impossible...

Very little wake locks maybe, but your phone isn't in deep sleep 100% of the time when screen is off I can guarantee it.

I haven't noticed any more problems with loosing my data connection since updating from the 2/9? build to the 2/12 build. I turned off WiFi because I've been at home the past 2 days & it's been fine. My battery hasn't been doing quite as hot. It usually makes it to bedtime, but recently has been dying in the early-mid evening.

The fun of living on the bleeding edge.

WARNING: If you dirty flash 2/16 and then dirty flash back to an older nightly, it might get stuck at boot animation!

I was on the M1 (1/21), and dirty flashed 2/16 to check if the sound bug (in which Google Voice and VOIP apps like Groove IP sends sound to speaker phone instead of earpiece) was fixed. It wasn't. And after dirty flashing back to M1, I get an infinitely long boot animation. Looks like I have to do a clean install. Will take me about an hour to set up everything again. Sigh.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DarthDerron:
That's why you always nandroid
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xiphosurus:
Yeah, but I think once in a blue moon, a clean install isn't too bad. I remember the nandroid on the i747 stores the backups using the wrong dates, like all in 1970, and it confused me as to which is which. I don't even know which one is my stock ROM backup now. :laugh:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DarthDerron:
That's why I use twrp. You can rename the backups.

HDMI output? Sounds cool. I am on this build right now and it is working flawlessly. I am assuming I need to purchase some type of microsd to hdmi adapter to do this? anyone know of where I can get this and if I do, how do I go about getting this working?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zmore:
Yeah, you need an MHL to HDMI adapter that'll work with the S3, and they're only about $20 now (VS $40 last summer).

---------- Post added at 06:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:09 PM ----------

One other important note about the 2/16 nightly is that from here on out (4.2.2+) there's "adb security" in place, so you have to add each computer's rsa key that you trust to a whitelist when connecting to it. This also only works over USB, so, if like me you only use wireless ADB, you have to remember to connect at least once via USB to add trust, and THEN you can connect over wifi.

(edit: you also need an up-to-date adb client-side, so if you're not using the updated sdk, you'll have to update your standalone utils)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xiphosurus:
If you have TWRP, doesn't it get overwritten by CWM after you flash one of the CM nightlies?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Johnny424:
no. ROM flashing will not touch or effect the recovery partition
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xiphosurus:
That's strange... I was pretty sure that I saw the CWM recovery version getting bumped up a few times over the past year when flashing nightlies.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TheScaryOne:
You probably had the "Restore ROM Manager" option turned on in CWM.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xiphosurus:
You can definitely just update without wiping from CM10 to CM10.1. I did that myself, didn't observe any additional problems over those who did it with a wipe. But make sure to also flash the latest gapps. You might also need to clear data on Clock, and toggle on/off some things like GPS to make sure they are in the correct state. No harm doing this first, if it doesn't work out, you can still wipe later.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] J-Wall:
If you use GoSMS it will work if you manually change the MMS settings to match your APN. It might work on other apps if your able to control the MMS settings.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 1weener:
I use Apex launcher and backup and restore my home screens with it, and TB to do my apps plus data. That leaves only settings to work with, and I have restored them so many times that I can get my phone exactly how it was within 15 minutes of a full wipe.

Settings can be backed up and restored through AOSP backup from the play store, but I have heard warnings that sometimes it can be wonky (newer version is supposed to be better)... I don't see the need for it but imagine that some would find it quite useful.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] flexfulton:
Just backup data with TWRP and then restore after flashing. That's what I do and it works like a charm to restore system settings etc. Fast, efficient and best of all FREE!

For those of you who don't know what I mean.

1. Do a Nandroid.

2. Wipe Cache, Dalvik, Factory Reset and System

3. Install your zips. Rom, GAPPS, Modem, Kernel, etc.

4. Go to restore and choose the Nandroid you just made. Untick the system and boot boxes but leave the data box checked. Swipe to restore.

5. Reboot and you are good to go. Just like the way it was but with a fresh system partition.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zelendel:
This is the price you pay for running custom roms.

While this works it is not the best idea as the way settings for apps are handled changes every now and then and restoring data that uses the old layout could cause unexpected issues.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] flexfulton:
Haven't run into any issues thus far and have been doing it since the start of CM10.1.

In theory what you are saying however applies to any type of app back up be it my method or TB. Restoring anything, any way COULD lead to issues.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zelendel:
No because when you run an app like TIBU it detects how the settings are to applied in most cases. IT just doesnt restore them to the same thing as before unless the file system is unchanged. It also depends on the rom. Some state not to restore any app data at all so it is always hit or miss.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Johnny424:
well spoken..very hit or miss.. while maybe 8/10 times restoring previous system data may work, there's always that chance that everything is jacked and you have to wipe any way.. not a bad practice especially someone who is knew to flashing ROMs..getting in the habit of wiping clean .. to avoid problems..also it doesn't take all that much time to set everything back up
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tasteslikechicken:
You DO NOT need to wipe to upgrade. How do you people think official OTA updates work? It's exactly the same for CyanogenMod. You only need the correct Google apps for whatever version of Android you are running.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] LuckyStrike88:
I'm pretty sure Cyanogen himself said this on the G+ page, not sure why so many people parrot the "full wipe" mantra.

Anybody else still having data connectivity issues? I can't get any cell data at all now. Of course I'd be traveling & staying at a hotel with crappy & expensive WiFi.

I suppose it could be an IMEI problem, but things seem to be correct there when I look at the phone status

IMEI looks correct & matches what's written under the battery

IMEI SV is 14

Was there another place your IMEI could get messed up and leave you with no data connection?

Might bounce back to stock for a bit to see if that fixes things... if I can ever get anything downloaded.
