Hi,

This is my firt time using CyanogenMod. After a few days using it I decided to come back here a share my thoughts on it. Up to now my closest contact with AOSP had been MIUI back on the HTC Sensation.

The process:

On my GS3 I was using Omega Vx.xx (don't really know what version), so I did a noob-back-to-stock-tutorial, and then flashed CM10 nightly over the stock. Up to now, everything is working ok, except for a few FCs every now and then

The Main Opinion:

Gotta say: THIS IS A GREAT WORK. THANK YOU SO MUCH GUYS. My phone is incredbly faster than it was with the original Samsung ROM or any Samsung-based custom rom.

My questions:

- How can I contribute with the team? How can i donate?

- Do i have to wipe to flash a new version (nightly)?

- Is there any way to sync my Facebook Events with the AOSP Agenda?

- When playing music with Apollo, my Lockscreen loses it's wallpaper (background turns black). Any way to bring it back?

My Suggestions (Please, kindly ignore my suggestions if I am talking outsite the CM Project scope. Just tell me that):

After using it a bit, I miss one or other things about my former ROM / Launcher:

- The AOSP People (Contacts) App seems simply incomplete to me. There is a lot of features (found in several stock roms, from various devices) that are missing, such as: Batch delete, Merge Contacs, Facebook and Twitter sync, A shortcut to the Dialer and others. Is there any chance that the CM team will do it's magic with the app and add some customization to it?

- Likewise, the shortcuts on the AOSP Camera could be more accessible. Any chance that CM Team change that?

- It would by nice the have an option to hide some apps from the App Tray

- MIUI-like features such as double tap on lockscreen to enable Apollo, or Holding the home key to enable Torch would be great.

Again, THANK YOU SO MUCH. This is a GREAT work.

-no, you can use cm updater in settings about device which does everything for you

-i use haxsync, which syncs facebook calendar and facebook contacts

Hi! Thank you for replying.

Just did that, downloaded the package, but the Phone boots into the original stock recovery (WTF? O thought that CWM replaced that) And displays an error saying /sdcard was not found.

I have the same on CM9, only removing the battery and rebooting helps, does not happen often tho.

Issue with Bluetooth

I've had a scan through this thread but on the latest nightly build i have a problem with bluetooth - specifically when syncing with the car (VW Golf) - it connects and the car sees the phone (much faster than before actually) but the audio is just awful. I can barely make out the other person and it sounds like theyre a robot crackling away.

They can't hear me (or hear me as a robot too).

If this is dealt with elsewhere then apologies and fully appreciate its not a complete mod. If I need to record audio etc to assist in identifying bug or give further details of car more than happy to help.

Seriously good job though guys.

New to Android and this is a massive improvement over touchwiz!
[Galaxy S III General] MarcelMAH:
Try holding your phone REALLY close to your car's Bluetooth antenna (probably in your radio). It should work fine now... and yes I know this is not a solution, it's a crappy workaround.
[Galaxy S III General] stephaned:
Yes, seems odd to me also but went back to 4.1.1 gaps and it works perfectly. Tried again with 4.1.2 and issue is back.

Anybody else facing similar issues with this latest GAPPS?
[Galaxy S III General] V3TTOO:
Yes, I have had that issue for a while now. If you leave it, it will eventually just reboot.
[Galaxy S III General] JigsawJay:
wow thats a rubbish work around

seriously that cant be the solution?
[Galaxy S III General] MarcelMAH:
Works for me... CM9.

I have my phone mounted under my rear view mirror and when I want to listen to music I have to lay it in the slot under the radio to be able to enjoy it... It's not always like this, but 99% of the time.
[Galaxy S III General] Lawrencets:
Hello!

I want to install this rom, i'm noob, but with some knowledge :p, so i have some questions:

Can i put a stock rom after installing the CM10?

If yes, is the same way(assuming i will use odin)?

Thank you!
[Galaxy S III General] louca:
Yes, you can! ;)

You have to use Odin.
[Galaxy S III General] JigsawJay:
It was absolutely fine on stock rom which is why I'm confused :(
[Galaxy S III General] stephaned:
Tks for that - it seems to have done the trick - by enabling the sound on lock screen... it now works. For some reasons it seems that some sort of sound module need to be started by another application before I can hear callers.
[Galaxy S III General] brins0:
I've just come back to CM10 from the Samsung 4.1.1 leaks. Boy was that alot of ballache. Had to go all the way back to the old ALF1 4.0.4 rom to get the WiFi and NFC , then use the noob proof edition to get CM10, but everything is working again now!

I'm glad I took a break from CM10, and I suggest anyone who's getting irritated with CM10 goes to a stock Samsung rom for 2-3 weeks. You don't know what you're missing out on till you've not had it for a few weeks.

Couple of quick questions though:

1. When was landscape video finally fixed? Last time I tried CM10 it was still scewed, it's absolutely perfect now!

2. I read the touch-to-focus in the camera was disabled at one point to prevent the flash issue. Is it still possible to use the version of the camera without the touch-to-focus, as personally I don't like it? If so, where would I be able to get the version of the camera with that disabled?

Thanks for all the hard work devs!
[Galaxy S III General] bealtine:
I have the same issue too, I call it the "sleep of death"...
[Galaxy S III General] Brosa:
Hey guys just a quick question done some googling and read so many pages and thought I would ask the question anyways. Is ADB via USB broken on CM10 I have been living with ADB over network but not liking the latency hit so I was wondering if anyone has any idea why ADB isn't working over USB and if there is a solution. Ive been searching and it seems like a common problem with some CM10 builds.
[Galaxy S III General] DvTonder:
Works perfectly since day 1 - I use it every day.
[Galaxy S III General] Vintage76:
updating

Hi guys,

I have had CM10 for about a week now and have been blown away by just how good this is, simply outstanding.

I have gone into settings/about phone and seen that you can check for ROM updates. I am running CM10 ending in 1009 and the update is up to 14.

My question is can I simply download the latest one, delete the one ending in 1009, then reboot into recover and flash the 14 update zip?

Will this update method keep all my system data/photos and apps, in the same way the stock OTA updates work?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S III General] eseregin:
Touch to focus works - just turn off flash...
[Galaxy S III General] Julianocas:
I've just changed from my S2 to S3.

I was using CM10 there.

Is there any issues with CM10 that are not listed at "know issues" from the OP post?

Where is the circle battery? Can't find on last build.

The problem with Picasa is solved here on i9300? Integration with Gallery app?

Regards.
[Galaxy S III General] nucgaek:
Not much, some issues witi connections and for some/many, there seems to be battery issues. Think I'm gonna use samsung roms for now though, even if everything else is better on CM10
[Galaxy S III General] Julianocas:
I really can't stand Touchwiz anymore... :(
[Galaxy S III General] GaryLiao:
Jelly Bean introduced a SMS security warning for when the messaging app sends a lot of messages. For those of us with unlimited texting this sometimes gets in the way and makes the texting frustrating. Is there any way to prevent this from happening? I saw some mentions of it it forums for other devices but it wouldn't be a good idea to flash zips designed for other devices :/
[Galaxy S III General] lawonga:
Go to security, bottom option can raise the limit
[Galaxy S III General] guhvanoh:
Yes, you can do it that way. It should not overwrite any system data and nor will it affect apps you downloaded or non-system data. You can even download the new gapps and flash that while you're at it.

HTH

---------- Post added at 06:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:14 AM ----------

Answer to first question: you tell us. From what I know, circle battery was never part of CM. It has been implemented and may appear in the next nightly. For last two questions, try the new gapps. Rumour has it that it has been fixed.
[Galaxy S III General] GaryLiao:
Thanks! I didn't think that they implemented the option to change it already :)
[Galaxy S III General] rodak69:
Hi, I'm new to GS3. I flashed latest nightly and I have a problem with my 64GB Sandisk card. I have it formatted in fat32 as some of you suggested earlier but I still can't see music stored on it in any of the music players (prefferably Google Music). There's no problem when I put files in my internal sd card though. I tried clearing cache of the Google Music, I tired clearing cache of Media Server system app, reflashing the latest nightly, running a app for media scanning... Nothing seems to work. Can you help me out?
[Galaxy S III General] tshoulihane:
I had a similar problem - FX from NextApp (free version) has a rescan media in the tools section (select the external SD first) and this worked for me.

Not long after, my 64 GB SDXC started returning IO errors though. Seems like there is a fairly high failure rate on these (Mine won't re-format now despite buying a new USB3 micro-sd reader to avoid using an adaptor - returning it today)
[Galaxy S III General] Vintage76:
Thanks heaps, I'll give it a go later on.

Appreciate the help
[Galaxy S III General] JigsawJay:
As mentioned previously I retested the blue tooth. It works absolutely fine playing music over the BT connection but sound quality is utterly awful when trying to make a call.

Anything I can tinker with to try and sort or is this a legitimate issue??

Hi,

I tried to search but cannot find a solution for the problem i have with 'profiles'.

I want to set up a very simple profile for at night. Whatever i try i cannot get it to be silent without vibrating. If the phone vibrates at night it will also wake me up.

the only things i change with this profiles are:

VOLUME:

Alarm 7/7

Media 1/7

ringtone 0/7

notifications 0/7

VIBRATION:

Calls: disable

notifications: disable

still i get the "vibration only" icon in statusbar.

any ideas please?
[Galaxy S III General] Vintage76:
I have found the stock browser in CM10 to be the best one I have ever used. I have tried dolphin, opera, maxthon...
[Galaxy S III General] CloudyPear:
I also had this issue with setting up a profile, couldn't find a way to sort it. Reverted to using Simple Sound Profiles widget from the Play Store.
[Galaxy S III General] chorl:
Yes, rendering speed in stock browser is very good :) But I need (badly) two features with Chrome: tab sync with desktop PC, and fast tab switching. So, I'm stuck with Chrome...So, I'm screwed :)

Re : Sleep of Death

This could be unrelated to CM10. I'm still on stock ROM and it occured to me a few weeks ago.

I had to restore a previous back up to get rid of the problem

[Galaxy S III General] cocotutch:
After umm'ing and ahh'ing over the period of about three weeks I finally flashed the 12/10/2012 Nightly (12 October for you Americans!)

Brilliant! It got super laggy on my SGS3 i9300 after a while though (with nothing open, mind) but apparently flashing the 14 October nightly has fixed that issue. Question, is Trebuchet the best launcher to use? I run Nova (not Pro) at the moment with a custom widget and icon pack I'm rather attached to. Do the nightly builds handle custom launchers OK?

I'm a bit of an Android Newb (jumped from the iPhone! SHOCK HORROR!) so go easy on me if I've uttered the 'Voldemort' of the Android modding community.

Thanks,

cocotutch
[Galaxy S III General] DvTonder:
Nighties work perfectly fine with launcher replacements. I personally use Apex launcher.
[Galaxy S III General] rodak69:
Hell yeah, it worked! Thanks mate! I lost my pictures today which were stored on my internal sd card and it recovered them too! :highfive:

I hope you'll get a working replacement or a moneyback.
[Galaxy S III General] DrGomez:
of course you can use different launchers. I find Apex Launcher to be the best one for me yet.
[Galaxy S III General] Droidphilev:
hello, DvTonder,

first of all thanks for your answer!

Well you are right but when you work in shifts like me this is kinda useless you see. I sleep about half the week in daytime, the other half at night. People like me like to be able to switch profiles quickly :)

and ofcourse: what i wrote seems to be a bug after all, not? Vibration stays enabled while "profiles" is set up to disable it. Or am i wrong?

thx
[Galaxy S III General] thelastwilson:
Maybe something like tasker would be a good work around. There are a few alternatives/competitors to tasker that might be simpler but their names are escaping me just now.
[Galaxy S III General] Codekrypt:
Llama is an alternative to Tasker.
[Galaxy S III General] bealtine:
Yes that's what I did, went back a few nightly to one that didn't seem to have this problem
[Galaxy S III General] chris.daf:
Before I try out CM10, is there any way to check if my SD card is formatted to FAT or exFAT? I haven't done anything to it since I bought it, it hasn't been wiped or re-formatted or anything. I don't particularly fancy corrupting all the data on there :confused:
[Galaxy S III General] Droidphilev:
Hi,

thanks. Apps like tasker etc are indeed doing their jobs. On the other hand... if it's implemented in the rom... much nicer TBH :)

"defualt message" gone

This is pertaining to the "defualt message" on every start up. I recently switched to a stock JB rom called Android Revolution which included a superwipe script. Then after getting tired of that I used ODIN to return to ICS and then reloaded CM. The "defualt message" is now gone although I didn't know what caused it or what took it away. There may be an easier way to get rid of it, but those steps are what worked for me and may work for you if you have the same problem.
[Galaxy S III General] DvTonder:
Please log it as a bug here -> http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/list and I will look at it when I get a chance.

---------- Post added at 11:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:57 AM ----------

Agreed. If its not working as it should it needs to be fixed.

---------- Post added at 12:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:57 AM ----------

I must also admit that my original code scan was not 100% accurate and that someone did in fact find the text "Defualt message" in the strings in the AOSP source. A fix for the spelling was merged yesterday.

As to why you kept getting the message, who knows. At least now, if you get the message again it will be spelled correctly :)
[Galaxy S III General] ThunderWolf78:
Well, I ditched bbs and installed gsam battery monitor instead, it has some interesting info to tell that in bbs was bunched up as "powermanagerservice", it can pinpoint which apps more precisely is causing rogue behavior. Right now it tells me that kernel is causing my drain but not which thread under kernel that's misbehaving. Screen shot attached... And no, even though I've been toying with the thought of using Siyah I am still on CM10 kernel. Nightly as of 2012-10-12.

Tapatalked from my GT-I9300 running high on CM10.
[Galaxy S III General] :
I figured that "defualt" was a European spelling or something, but that's good news about the spelling. Do you know what program it's from? Also, do you recommend one modem more than another?
[Galaxy S III General] Jeddix:
According to the changelog it was changed in CatService. The comment in the java class says "Class that implements SIM Toolkit Telephony Service. Interacts with the RIL and application.".

;)
[Galaxy S III General] DvTonder:
Its part of framework - commit is here -> http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#/c/25024/

I use the XXDLI8 modem and associated RIL. Works just fine here in Toronto on the Bell network.
[Galaxy S III General] Droidphilev:
Hi,

Euh.... it seems that if i don't put a log on that buglist that my issue will be immediatelly be closed. I don't have any clue how to do this :(

If i fill everything else in very correctly i cannot add an issue?

I kinda lost track of the progress of this project for a while as I jizzed over the touchwiz version of jellybean. Will someone care to bring me up to date on how the project is going?

-Is CM10 finally as buttery smooth as Stock JB?

-Wifi Problems fixed?

-Battery life?

Thanks for any replies!
[Galaxy S III General] Entropy512:
Yup. Look at their performance with the eMMC brick issue.

Early June: Samsung claims to be "working hard"

Early July: Samsung deploys XXLQ5 to I9100, which endangers a previously safe device. This is after they have been "working hard" on a fix for a month

Late July: Samsung meets with me. We discuss ways to improve dialog between developers and Samsung, and also how to deploy protection to users.

Mid-August: Management shoots down all proposals for improving communications so that **** like this doesn't happen again. Zero progress made.

Mid-October: Sprint Epic 4G Touch FI27 ships. 3 months after our meeting, 4 months after Samsung claimed to be "working hard" on the issue, affected devices still have no protection in stock firmware.

Yeah. Google Now is also a big battery hog due to the location services.

Happened when moving to I9300 JB Update5. However, I9300's wifi driver has always been "special". The method used to fix tethering on all other bcmdhd devices (NL80211_LEGACY_STA_EVENTS) never worked on I9300 and codeworkx was using a hack involving a prebuilt binary of the legacy ICS hostapd. Now even that doesn't work right.

It's probably something that could've been fixed if everyone involved weren't completely exhausted.

Not PPP. P2P - mainly used for wifi direct. So why the heck does a wifi-direct related item break normal operation??????????????

Video issues were fixed around the time I9300 JB Update5 was merged - I was getting tired of Netflix on N8013 needing hax.

github has been derping a lot lately.

I use Apex myself too.
[Galaxy S III General] jaju123:

No.

It's still worse than sammy roms, which are probably also much worse than they should be.

car dock mode

according to this post:

there is a solution for the car dock issue. it seems to be kernel related.

reports of users in that thread show that the solution is working

can this be implemented into cm10?

I will leave the answer to Codeworkx, XpLoDWilD and Entrophy512, they are the kernel guys.

Thanks for all the hard work!

EDIT: already got a mail that this issue is "invalid" bacause it is in a nightly. Problem is that is has been thesame problem in all version i every tried. Also stable.

Bluetooth Problem Clarification

I posted earlier in the thread about BT problems. After further testing today it appears that it only affects outgoing calls.

Music plays fine.

Incoming calls are fine.

The call quality drops to crap only when im making an outgoing call from the handset or using the in-car touchscreen.

I'm not sure if there is a fix for this but know the developers read so hopefully theres something retardedly stupid im doing and its an easy fix?

CM10 was installed over a clean version of ICS stock so everything appears to work fine except the bluetooth outgoing call connectivity in the car.

Any ideas or suggestions greatly received - its really really irritating to have one of the main features not working on only a part basis. I can live with other bugs etc (realise that if there is no fix im going to have to switch).

Ive done various searches and it appears this was an old bug that shouldve been fixed ages ago?

tl;dr - Connect Phone to VW Golf mk6. - everything fine until trying to make an outgoing call where quality drops to crap and I sound like a robot.
[Galaxy S III General] DvTonder:
It is still there - look under Settings, System, Notification drawer.
