What are they trying to keep secret? How to make a fat, ugly, sluggish ROM? Unlikely, considering HTC have already achieved that, only HTCs is a pretty, fat, sluggish ROM.

There are 35,000 users on the S3 now, maybe, but there are millions of CM users and word spreads quickly. The only reason CM10 isn't on my wifes phone, my mother in laws, my brothers etc etc, is because it is too unstable for the average user. I can live with a temperamental camera, but they can't. If CM10 was fixed, I'd be recommending it to everyone and helping them flash it, as it really shows off the ability of the hardware. My wife hated Sense on her Sensation, but lives CM9....and she's the biggest technophobe in the world.

I think Samsung know that CM would have AOSP singing on this device, long before they can get it anything like what Touchwiz JB should be. Maybe I'm wrong, but I just don't buy into this theory that there are huge trade secrets to protect. Look at CM on the US models, working perfectly on legacy hardware that is properly supported for developers. If anyone wanted to glean some trade secret from Samsung, they could get it from the US versions.
[Galaxy S III General] labbe-:
what i can't understand that why it has to be tw / cm10.. if people can't live with the bugs present in cm10, why not use cm9? it smooth enough compared to any TW rom, has every feature working and is in line with peoples love for AOSP

Sorry Codeworkx, I don't get your point. Could you explain a bit more please ?

For those interested, sounds like a quick way to update nightlies :highfive:
[Galaxy S III General] Natural_born_chilla:
This is why I got this phone last week. Could've been buying the HOX or Nexus, but the guys in here and the pure amount of SGSIII sellings plus changeable microSD and battery made me decide. Now I read the Exynos-thing and I am a bit sad... But what I learned from my last phones (Desire & Sensation), there will always be good Devs around any phone :) I am optimistic ;)
[Galaxy S III General] alexalbion:
Interesting

If it works ist a real good method to update :laugh:

Will test it with the next cm10 build
[Galaxy S III General] saintsinner25:
+1 but im definitely gonna get nexus device next time.either the lg nexus or the old galaxy nexus.it wouldnt really matter to me what's the quandart benchmark score as long as my phone is running high on jelly 60 fps ;) I've learned my lesson with exynos devices.done and done.
[Galaxy S III General] :
I agree this is a decent solution to have AOSP and working features. I'm just not happy that I bought this device a month ago and support for CM... AOSP is ending... may be ending. I was hoping for 2+ years of CM and whatever Google desserts would follow.
[Galaxy S III General] davidemo89:
So, I follow the noob proof instruction and... I'm blocked in the boot loop. Waiting 10min now :(

I failed the noob-proof points... what can I do? :crying:
[Galaxy S III General] DvTonder:
did you factory reset ?
[Galaxy S III General] davidemo89:

Nope, I just followed the instructions step by step :crying:
[Galaxy S III General] Kussie:
Reset/Factory Restore in CWM and it should fix it.
[Galaxy S III General] davidemo89:
Working, thank you a lot
[Galaxy S III General] biffsmash:
Dont get all the complaining about SGS3 and MALI and AOSP and CM Roms. CM10 runs fine on this phone and with no bugs barring stupid useless missing features like NFC and Wifi Tethering which to be fair are pretty useless to 99% of users.

There isn't and won't be a phone that can hold a candle to the SGS3 for some time to come, so again, can't see the point of all the complaints.

p.s, CM10 and AOSP Roms are running better than i've seen them on any phone so well done CM team, as i've never seen it run this well on any phone.
[Galaxy S III General] :
I don't know how important tether is to other users, but it's major for me. I would imagine it is also important for people who travel a lot. Other than that, CM does work great and I am thankful for the CM team.

Another reason this is bad is that there may not be a CM11 for this device
[Galaxy S III General] Vintage76:
Its sad to hear that Samsung cannot provide the codes required....

I thought CM10 was the most stable ROM going round, with plenty of mods..

So which ROM holds that mantle now??

I can't say just how dissapointing this is, real shame as this is such a great well rounded ROM...
[Galaxy S III General] sfjuocekr:
NFC works...
[Galaxy S III General] furyau:
Hey I have been looking but I can not find the XXLID RIL.

cm-10-20121008-NIGHTLY-i9300.zip

Hi everybody.

I'm looking for the nightly ROM dated 20121008 : cm-10-

20121008

-NIGHTLY-i9300.zip. It has been deleted from http://get.cm/?device=i9300&type=.

Has anyone kept this rom somewhere, and be so kind to provide it to me ?

Thank you.

Edit : Nevermind, I found it here http://goo.im/devs/cm/i9300/nightly
[Galaxy S III General] Jeddix:
Todays and yesterdays nightly failed to build so there was nothing that could be deleted.

Edit: Damn, should have read better, I thought you ment die 1018 build :D.
[Galaxy S III General] :
Can you be more specific? What did they say? It is very interesting! :p
[Galaxy S III General] leinad:
Thank's.

I'm looking for this build because it is the last one having USB thethering fully working, and I desperatly need tethering !

Since then, my laptop connects to my SGSIII using USB Tethering (i.e. it gets an IP adresse, and all the needed stuff), but it can't access to the web :crying: Seems like SGSIII does not transfer data sent by my laptop to the web :confused:
[Galaxy S III General] alexp999:
Hi, didn't want to start a new thread asking this question and I hope you don't flame me for not reading all 1038 pages of this thread, but I just wondered if anyone knew why all the US variants of the SGS3 are officially supported on stable (or M) releases, but this international i9300 is only on nightlies?

Is it just a question of time?

Cheers.
[Galaxy S III General] :
Because the international version is on Exynos and the US variants not... :mad:

Hi Guys,

just to confirm if u ppl also had this simple bugs like me,

During charging(with charging LED lights on) and there is an incoming call, after the call the charging LED light turns off and nv on back.

[Galaxy S III General] Antony_McLovin:
With cm-10-20121017-NIGHTLY-i9300.zip I had a weird crash yesterday. I was in my car and I was driving with navigon activated on my phone. All of a sudden, the screen turned black and the phone restarted on it's own. The weirds thing was, that I was not asked to type my pin code of my simcard. So my phone made a restart without asking my pin code and i was connected though.
[Galaxy S III General] Jeddix:
Thats because you use the Siyah kernel, that, as stated multiple times in this thread, fixes the wifi bug ;).
[Galaxy S III General] 1r0n1c:
n00b!

Ok, this is stupid. But I genuinely couldn't find this easily.

When updating from one nightly to other, should I wipe anything? Should I update gapps as well?

I'm sorry for the really dumb question, but better safe than sorry. :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S III General] leinad:
Multi-boot ?

Hi boba23.

How do you manage several ROMs on your device ?

Thank you.
[Galaxy S III General] fekle:
Siyah Kernel
[Galaxy S III General] labbe-:
no need for wipe or installing gapps again. just flash the new nightly and you are ready to go. the easiest way is to do so witht the cm ota updater found in settings about phone

Sent from my GT-I9300
[Galaxy S III General] 1r0n1c:
Thanks for clearing this up!

The version I have still doesn't have the OTA updates. Going with ROM manager!
[Galaxy S III General] felek73:
Why don't you just use bluetooth tethering instead? I also use a tethering a lot and BT tethering is perfect replacement...
[Galaxy S III General] benthe:
Quick (noob) question

Just a quick question, which I couldn't really figure out following this topic for the last few weeks - why is the SiyahKernel so "hated" in this thread/in general (I'm not sure which is true)? I understand that using it with CM10 is a workaround for a real issue with the CM10 kernel/ROM for the S3 (I'm talking about the WiFi issue), but why doesn't the devs of the CM10 S3 port just sit down with the Siyah guys and try to get the WiFi issue resolved?

P.S

If someone knows reddit's ELI5 subreddit, I'm asking a question that I would've wanted to post there, but I don't thing it'll go answered.
[Galaxy S III General] Orka82:
That was a "hot boot/reboot". You do not need to enter your pin again when the phone reboots that way.
[Galaxy S III General] XpLoDWilD:
We compared, and we can't pinpoint what is the exact difference making it working properly.
[Galaxy S III General] Vintage76:
Does that fix tethering also??

Thanks.
[Galaxy S III General] Antony_McLovin:
http://www.multiupload.nl/HJYMMRAFVM

here is the newest NEDLI1 modem which includes XXDLJ1 firmwares. I grabbed it from another thread. Here you go...

ps: can someone explain me the difference between branded firmware and unbranded? The XXDLJ1 is branded and I know that XXDLID is the latest unbranded firmware. But whats the difference? My Network is working with XXDLJ1.

Maybe it's too much off topic. I will ask my question somewhere else ;)
[Galaxy S III General] adityaxavier:
Ok guys, please find attached the Zip file which has fixed wifi tethering for me.

Dev's yes this is a dirty hack of using other sources, but would help many people to atleast use CM and not think of TW just for tethering.

As always Backup first !! And also would be looking into what are the code issues.

PS:- I have modified the ramdisk init script a lil to match that of d2.
[Galaxy S III General] benthe:
Thanks for the answer. Could you also answer the second part of my question perhaps? - I get the "vibe" that the Siyah kernel is hated here for some reason, and I didn't find any reason for that. Would appreciate an explanation.

What he said. Think my tablet is next up for replacement... Going to get a Nexus, but going to wait and see what comes from the New announcements at the end of the month. Less grief that way being on pure Android, being able to go into CyanogenMod from there with little fuss.
[Galaxy S III General] luizffgarcia:
Just a thought... Is the 2GB version of S3 running CM10 better than the international ones?

They don't use Exynos, right?
[Galaxy S III General] labbe-:
guess you mean the qualcomm dualcore us variants? the answer is yes, because it uses qualcomm chips that have proper documentation

there are sgs3 models with exynos 4 and 2gb of ram
[Galaxy S III General] benthe:
Do I just install it via recovery (using "install .zip")?

(Sorry for the noob question).
[Galaxy S III General] luizffgarcia:
Maybe that's why some people say CM10 is smoother on their phones than Sammy JB! They must be running Snapdragon's S3...
[Galaxy S III General] labbe-:
actually, S4
[Galaxy S III General] __max__:
Snapdragon S4, but Galaxy S3... seems like a joke :)
[Galaxy S III General] cocotutch:
Will the men (and women?) behind CM10 be working from Samsung's official Jelly Bean release? Or have they been already? Can somebody please point out to me why this is only in "Nightly" compared to the Stable release of CM9? Something about our phones having an Exynos CPU?
[Galaxy S III General] :
CM10 isn't made using Samsung's stock rom, but is built from AOSP (Android Open Source Project). CM10 is Jelly Bean. "Nightly" is like a beta version of software and there is no stable release of CM10 yet.

CM10 = Jelly Bean

CM9 = Ice Cream Sandwich

The processor in the i9300 is an Exynos processor which is made by Samsung. It's not open source which means there isn't documentation about it. The CM devs need that documentation to make CM10 work better. It's possible to get a different model of the Galaxy s3 that doesn't have this Exynos chip and CM10 works better on it.

I'm just a novice but I think all this is correct. Someone please correct me if I am inaccurate in any way.
[Galaxy S III General] JJ Scholtz:
I'm unable to get a GPS lock with latest nightly! Any suggestions?
[Galaxy S III General] -A-P-M-:
Upcoming Nexus is much better choice if you can wait a few weeks. For me CM10 (latest nightly) run perfect on SGS3, but when Nexus will be available, I will trade SGS3 for it.
[Galaxy S III General] :
Does anyone know what our nightly has failed to compile a lot lately? It doesn't seem to be the case with other CM nightlies.
[Galaxy S III General] Pulsu:
Thanks! Just flashed and wifi hotspot works like a charm.
[Galaxy S III General] :
So did and I and it works for me too!
[Galaxy S III General] RorixRebel:
HFS just flashed it as well and it works :)

this is MUST that should be added on the next build IMHO

now CM10 is perfect for me, i have the pure android experience - nfc and tethering working - thank you CM team and everyone involved on this
[Galaxy S III General] leinad:
One simple and obvious reason : My laptop has no bluetooth interface :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III General] mitky82:
With that large screen... the dialer is too ugly. Back button is up... i dont have 2meters finger. .. any mod for that? Rom is great. Only that thing is too hard to work wit one hand.
[Galaxy S III General] felek73:
I see, good reason. You should buy bt USB stick, it cost less than 10 euro
[Galaxy S III General] XDA mark:
Agreed.

CM10 works so smooth on my S3 (GT9300, exynos just to be clear). I'm running the latest nightly, with Siyah 1.7b6. It's so damn smooth and fast. I was in a phonestore yesterday and compared my S3 to a Jelly Bean running Nexus. About the same experience. Also compared it to the Xperia T, Note, other phone's.

Tbh, performance wise the S3 running cm10 is on top with the Gnex on JB.

One problem: battery life. I was looking through some old screenshots made on my S3 with ICS, LFB I believe. 4hours40m screen on time and I had 30% left... good times. Also, my 20mins of using the phone in the morning only took 2% of my battery life, now 8%+.

I'm not going to go back to ICS, but it's really a huge difference (ICS avarage 4.5-5.5hrs of screen on time, CM10 avarage 3-3.5hours of screen on time)

Edit: I was really impressed by the Xperia T btw. Nice design and build quality, I like that it has the onscreen softbuttons. Great camera and nice software skin.

[Galaxy S III General] Cyb3rGlitch:
Instead of locking the development thread over and over, expecting a different result every time (which isn't going to happen), why don't the devs/mods think a little and try an alternative approach? As mentioned before, assign someone to pass on bug reports to the devs, so they don't have to look themselves. That way idiots can be completely ignored and no one will be butt hurt over it.

Clearly the current system is broken. The language and age barrier that exists at XDA cannot be solved by employing bans, and filling the OP with large red text. If this isn't obvious by now, then perhaps it's not the people posting that are a little thick headed.
[Galaxy S III General] tietherope:

[Galaxy S III General] jayharper08:
The Devs are the ones that this site is built off of. If you post in a DEVELOPMENT thread, it needs to be DEVELOPMENT related. The system is not "broken", it just needs to be adhered to. That's what needs to happen. The development thread is usually only closed to clean the thread from these posts. It's not the mods or devs fault that users don't follow rules. At the same time, the report button is there for a reason. When users make comments about it, all it does it cloud it up even more. It's really not hard.

Two minor annoyances with the latest build:

1) No way to disable CRT Off effect other than disabling animations.

2) With no lock screen, unlocking with home key in deep sleep fires up recent apps screen rather than home.

Other than these two and the already known camera bugs, this build is very very good.

Wifi :-

1. Awesome, still any reason why you are not planning on changing over to Samsung D2 Wifi driver (BCM4334 - bcmdhd) ? Thats the one that am using, and its working awesome ! The issue which we faced in regards to wifi is actually already completely open source. Please do correct me if i understood wrong, would be very educational to me and everyone else !!

NFC :-

2. Could you please host the zip file with the updated nfc library, so that its available for all the guys who are having problems.

FM :-

3. Could you please let me know what would be a good starting point for me to understand what all code would be required in order to get FM working. As far as i understood FM is available but only for TI chips. cant we use the same framework just change the way it interacts with the driver ? Sorry for being a noob !

Thanks for the great support and interest !
