[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] krazygreen:
You know, I was telling my friend whose obsessed with the Galaxy Note (He said that the SGS3 doesn't compare, I had a debate with him about it) and I was basically trying to get him to understand that he's falling into the "iPhone theory trap" that it's either the iPhone or nothing, except with his Note, which mind you is a great device. But no less, I'm an avid Android fanatic and switch through phones often, I don't discriminate between HTC and Samsung, which are clearly the top two Android manufactures, at least in my mind they are.

In any case, he keeps talking about how ICS on the Note is "the best thing out", and I keep telling him that CM10 running JB 4.1.1 is literally THAT much better then ICS. I went back to ICS (stock with TW on a backup) to see if I would notice a difference, and man oh man, there is a huge difference, simple things like touch sensitivity, fluidity, tapping icons, responsiveness, are so much better with this build, especially this latest update, it's really put Android up there in regards to it's fluidity with the best of them. Although I have never been one of the sheep who claim Android "lags", as that was the 2009/2010 copout for iPhone/WP fanboys, but no less, this is just completely "lag" free in every sense of the word, and Project Butter has yet to be baked in! The possibilities are endless.

On that note, I'd like to thank CM and the CM team for putting this AMAZING rom together and getting us timely updates. Guys, they really have offered the best of the best, and to me, this current 8/8 build is clearly the best stock Android experience, clean as a whistle, that you can find in the market today. That's how good it is, and it's still in Alpha/Beta mode. Incredible, to say the least.

So to anyone hesitant to flash, don't be, minus a few minor "bugs" (I call them tidbits) this build is absolutely solid to the t.

If coming from Stock/TW, just make sure to create a backup, wipe dalvik cache (I do this twice for good measure)/format data/and flash away. If I missed any steps, searching this thread will certainly help you find out the best way to flash.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Mi|enko:
Just installed the new build from a fresh wipe. I know the blackscreen issue is supposed to be resolved; however, after going through the device setup process and using the device for just a couple minutes, the screen went black. It's still on, as I'm able to get calls and messages. . . just can't see or answer.

Anybody else have this issue? Pulling the battery now to see if I can dupe.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Redfro1979:
how big is the file supposed to be? I've downloaded twice and it's 160mb. This is My first time flashing a rom on the gs3 (rooted my other phones) and when I try to flash cm10 it says

Installing update package...

assert failed: getprop (.................

E: Error in /sdcard-10 ......

(status 7)

installation aborted
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] krazygreen:
Did you place the rom on the phone's storage or sd card? You should place it and flash it on the phone's storage.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Redfro1979:
I put it on the phone.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] krazygreen:
Did you wipe cache/dalvik cache, format/wipe data before attempting to flash? Did you create a backup prior to flashing?

Place the rom on the root of the phone's storage, and also make sure you flash Gapps (Google Apps, you can find it on the first page of this thread) and flashing the rom.

If you've already done this and it still isn't working, I'm sure someone in this thread will be able to assist you.

What recovery are you using?

Sent from my JellyBean Galaxys3
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Paging Dr B:
It should'nt matter where you flash it from. TWRP and CWM can read the file from any directory. Sometimes I get lazy and flash from the download folder on internal storage, but for the most part all of my roms are sitting on my external sd. He should try re-downloading the file and try again.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] krazygreen:
Good point. I'm currently using CM 5.8.4.7 and it flashes fine. You can update the recovery through Rom Manager.

---------- Post added at 10:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:18 PM ----------

Thanks, I wasn't aware of that.

As another poster pointed out, he might have an incompatible recovery?

CM 5.8.4.7 is what I'm currently on, updated through Rom Manager.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Mi|enko:
Rebooted and haven't seen the black screen of death yet. Maybe good for now?

Aside from that, anybody else seeing Gallery issues? Before, I just couldn't see my picasa stuff. Now, I can't even see the pictures I have stored on the device or SD card.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Paging Dr B:
True. I'm using TWRP mainly due to the touch interface, built in file manager, and ability to mount external SD.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] krazygreen:
Ok so I just made a phone call and got the black screen of death. Had to hard reset to boot the phone back up, no battery pull.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Redfro1979:
My recovery is cwm 5.5.0.4

I booted into recovery

wiped cache

wiped dalvik

format/wipe data

and then tried to flash cm10.

do I need a different recovery? I waitied this long because i was afraid i'd mess up my imei lol, but I backed it up and rooted this morning. do I need a different recovery?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] krazygreen:
Download Rom Manager from the Play Store (Free version) and flash CM recovery, it should flash 5.8.4.7, which is compatible with this rom. When you open Rom Manager, you'll see Flash CM Recovery, it'll give you a list of devices, choose Samsung Galaxy S3 (T-Mobile). Then Reboot into Recovery, and try those steps again.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Skorpion_:
Download the recovery from Rom Manager in google play.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Xcor3:
wait, what happened?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Paging Dr B:
Did you perform a full wipe or did you just upgrade?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] heldc:
Yes, I see the explanation one comment down.

Download got pulled? Only thing I see at http://android.chemlab.org/previews/ is the 7-29 files.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cyanogen:
New build is on the way, hold off until -3 finishes uploading. Unsuspend issue is fixed, and full overlay butter UI goodness is enabled now.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] krazygreen:
No homo bro, but I love you!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] immunityx:
Man I swear your the next best thing next to drunk strippers and beer
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] krazygreen:
Upgrade. Would a full wipe be preferable?

Since CM is uploading a new build, do you suggest a full wipe prior to flashing?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] solrac.dc:
This cwm has worked for me every time!!!

Mat I suggest using this CWM Touch recovery thanks to aaldiar! http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1766552

This Recovery I have used each and every time I update Cyanogen's builds!!!

In order to replace recovery you would simply need to download Mobile ODIN from Play store (if you don't have it already) and simply install the recovery.tar there. Once you have done so, just move the build and gapps to your mounted sd card, make a back up, factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache and format system, data & cache in "mounts & storage". Then flash latest CM10 reboot, let the phone settle for a few minutes then reboot back into recovery and flash gapps.

From here you should be good to go!! Have been pounding since new build was correctly uploaded and haven't ran into any issues so far........so far. LOL

ALSO FOLKS KEEP IN MIND THAT NOT ALL S3s ARE CREATED EQUAL.

Thank you for reading and hit "Thanks" if this helped any :) and apologize in advance if I have butted in in any way!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] icrzymonkey:
Got the same thing, after redownlooading error saying bad
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] solrac.dc:
Its always best to full wipe in order for everything to settle in properly ;)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] krazygreen:
Thank you. I was actually contemplating doing a full wipe but hadn't backed up my data and just figured I would upgrade. I'll back up all my data and do a full wipe for this next build.

(I was trying to "thank" your post but it says I'm limited to 8 per day, so, here's a thanks in spirit!)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Jigga0o7:
Donated (I encourage others to do the same). You're the man!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shehade08:
Is the update ready for download?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] swa2k4:
Yeah battery pulls but necessary with this phone just hold power vol down and home then release and again but let go power and it hard resets
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] theghazi:
oups

with the new built just released an hour ago, it was running fine until i get the black screen of death like others have.

had to pull the battery and restart, and now it is working okay for now, until next time

i always do the full wipe, every time
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] pieces of cake:
Confirmed here. This build frequently likes to just power off. It's not a "black screen of death," it just shuts off. No need to pull the battery. Just power back on by holding the power button. Oh well. Time to revert.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dhow76:
Try good old Internet Explorer. I know I know. I hate it as well but the download worked when I tried it with IE. Go figure.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] JFigure:
yay!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Redfro1979:
Ok, I just had to update my recovery. I had to do other stuff first. I guess I flashed jb g-apps so I had to restore nand back up. rookie mistake, but I'm in business now
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bigxie:
The SoD will be fixed in 8/8 - 3 build, but for the time being, I just set the governor to interactive and it hasn't black screened since.

Settings -> Performance -> Processor -> Governor

Set on boot.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ImARaptor:
Why is everyone complaining and reverting when Cyanogen JUST said that he fixed the problems you are complaining about in his newest build? Everyone does not need to confirm bugs that are fixed in the newest update, ESPECIALLY when he said not to even install that build because he was already aware of the bug. /rant

:D stoked about this build!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] krazygreen:
I can confirm that this above method works, at least until the new build is uploaded. Thank you.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] JFigure:
the 8-8 file was called nothing special

the patch that booted was -2

this one with SoD fix will be -3

(as in file names on the server)

edit: its up- d/ling now. http://android.chemlab.org/previews/cm-10-20120808-3-UNOFFICIAL-d2tmo.zip

edit 2: going to flash w/o full wipe and see what happens.

edit: 3 booted w/o a problem.

OMG ITS SO SMOOOTHHHHH
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] krazygreen:
Thank you thank you thank you! (Sorry mods, I get a little carried away!) =)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] KennyG123:
Cleaned some older posts

Let's try to stay on topic and contribute and refrain from useless posts

It helps Cyanogen see bug reports and questions rather than 5 pages of

"works great" or "it's not butter" or "my Wierner"

Be considerate of the developers time and don't be selfish

Remember there is a Q&A thread as well

Thank you for your cooperation

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] theghazi:
Is it me or data speed really sucks. Just checking. I was getting about 8 to 10 megs and with this built I am getting 300kbs to 2megs
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Skorpion_:
How do I take screenshots on this ROM?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cyanogen:
Yeah, build 3 is up now. This fixes the DSI command timeout issue that prevented the device from waking. Also fixed the final issues with the full overlay UI with 3 layers, so enabled that too. This one should be safe to flash for everyone.

Hopefully this will be the last build today. I sense a late night coming to make up for spending too much time on CM :eek:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] JFigure:
is it safe to force gpu rendering in dev options? or will this mess with butter?

Just flashed the latest build! Will have a video review this weekend :cool:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Spider_Pig27:
My download is going to take like 4 hrs to finish but its all good because in the end I still got 9 hours left of work
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] G1_enthusiast:
Kernel comes wwith the Rom right ?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cyanogen:
I would leave it alone. This controls whether or not HWUI is used to build views. It's already on by default unless a developer explicitly turns it off for an application, in which case they probably have a good (read: ****ty code) reason for it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Paging Dr B:
Yes. Just wipe and you should be fine.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] nnelson13:
Internal Clock

Has anybody had their internal clock go a little crazy? I apologize that I haven't looked into this too much yet. Either way, since I switched to CM10 when I do a back up, it is convinced that we are back in June of 1970. Any thoughts? Just hadn't seen this before. Thanks!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cyanogen:
Oh, that's an easy fix. Will get it done.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] KevlarTheGreat:
"(read: ****ty code)"

LOL, Nice! :) Now get some sleep. Thanks for the great ROM.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] immunityx:
anyone getting the sim unlock after rebooting sometimes? anyway around it besides hitting dismiss all the time?

Trying the alpha, really smooth too, cyan I really appreciate the work , been here since the mytouch when I use to work at tmo. This is why I love android.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] krazygreen:
I'm going to be doing an in depth video that I'll be uploading to YouTube in a few hours - Just a few observations -

-It's fast, very very fast

-It's responsiveness, more responsiveness then previous builds, and everything is instant, absolutely no stuttering

-I didn't do a complete wipe, I upgraded from the previous 8/8 build and it's running just fine, no "black-out" issues on calls, no mute issue (that I have noticed yet at least)

-After flashing, I waited for the rom to settle in about 5-8 minutes, then rebooted for good measure, it seems to run great

-The keyboard is a beast in terms of immediate responsiveness, as are the icons and pinch zoom. It responds immediate to your touch

-Auto focus still broken, although (as I have mentioned in previous posts) Camera FV-5 is a fantastic third party camera app with great auto focus and stability. I've used plenty of cams with this rom and FV-5 seems to be the most stable.

-Screen "blur" seems to be gone

-Vibration on the haptic keys are a bit less sensitive, which I personally like

-Setting performance to "INTERACTIVE" under Processor has minimized any buggy-ness when exiting apps back to your homescreen (if you have this issue).

I'll post more details in my video.

Thanks again CM team!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] rUsTyRuSs:
Sorry for asking again, but the question got buried with the sod posts. Is the ra ndom muting calls big still around? Where you have to toggle speaker or change the volume to get sound back. Thank you in advance
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] JFigure:
can you test the screen-off song skip?

doesnt seem to be working for me.

(option for it is under sound options)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] yourtravelboy:
Download ROM Manager from the Google Play Store and Flash the Tmobile SG3 recovery from the app. Don't use any other recoveries to flash CM10 until its been stated that the other recoveries are supported.

Everyone needs to follow instructions in the OP
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] aklyrical:
Ima do that and try flashing it..

I didn't have Odin at work so I took t he easy way out!

Same for me. I had loud sound earlier now its completely low to the max. Even for YouTube and regular music in Google play music.

Any ideas?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jnad32:
Just flashed and played around for a while, amazing. Super smooth ROM absolutely flies. Only reason I came back to stock was lack of root, you don't lose it the ROM just isn't rooted no superuser.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] aklyrical:
I had SU in my internal storage of my phone.. so I just rooted it from there. Easy.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jnad32:
Did you just install superuser?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] krazygreen:
Just tested - It's working for me, both volume up and volume down switch the song.

Anybody else having the problem of not being able to set notification lights to always on? It tests fine, and does stay always on, but when a notification actually comes, it is very dim and blinks weakly. Also, is the CRT-off animation going to come back at a later date, or was it removed in JB or cm10? Thanks! The rom is superb performance-wise.

FV5 works. Just stating what I encountered. In the 729 build my stock camera worked... just didn't focus
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] krazygreen:
I was having an issue where if I pushed back a few times to exit an app, the home screen would start flickering.

So I wiped cache (twice) formatted, wiped data, fixed permissions, etc. etc., and I'm getting the same UI glitch. Anyone else have this issue? You can test it out by pressing back out of the browser, market, messages, etc., just keep pushing back and you'll see the glitch.

Otherwise, so far so good! Everything running smooth as butter.

Thanks.
