PARANOIDANDROID or cm10 for better average battery life?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] unboostedzc:
any luck on fixing 1.9.5 or 1.9.7? definitely looking to get working bluetooth.

i know you said yesterday you had enough testers, but definitely lmk if there's anything i can do. still have this extra s3 around the house until i ship it back to verizon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bsforza70:
is there a way to turn off the bottom statusbar (not sure what to call it lol) sorry if this was already asked i just got it today and it works great :)

EDIT:

nvm i solved it while tinkering around

EDIT AGAIN:

well after i "solved" it the statusbar went away(btw i did expand desktop) so is there a way to just remove that bottom bar :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Rrrracer:
Google "FullScreenToggleV2.apk", download and install.. works like a champ!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] piiman:
No it wasn't force closing. I found the problem and its fixed. It seems it's a pretty common error and related to the PlayStore app and not the ROM.

Thanks for responding though!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bsforza70:
lol can u send me a link or mirror it

i cant seem to find it :)

Well, I did it I I need help. I installed Paranoidandroid and then I decided to go back to my previous ROM (Beans 7). Result: no network.

I have my IMEI no. and I see my phone no. ERI version is not available.

Weird is that there is signal strength (-87 dBm) but the mobile network type shows unknown, network unknown and service state: out of service.

The only thing that I see is that the baseband version (radio) has been changed from vrlg1 to vrlf2.

I installed phone info and tried all the network modes.

Nothing works.

I don't know what to do?

Is it ROM related, is it Radio related?

Please help.

Thank you.

Edit 1:Checked the IMEI with the one underneath the battery. They are the same.

Edit 2: Problem solved. Restored efs and provisioned.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] UWRF:
Look what I found ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] piiman:
do you have any other saves you could go back to just to see if that fixes it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hal0053:
Try dialing *#*#4636#*#* select Phone information, under Set preferred network type choose LTE/CDMA auto (PRL). You may have to Turn off radio then turn it back on which is just below.

Sim Network unlock PIN

.. Just flashed ROM according to directions. I came from Stock Root to this Rom. After installation ..

Upon reboot I receive this popup or message:

"SIM Network unlock PIN"

I will do some more searching via thread but just wanted to post and ask this ...

---------- Post added at 03:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:39 PM ----------

Did you have the " Sim Network unlock PIN"
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] piiman:
Are you using a phone tracking app? I used to get messages like that from them after a flashed new ROMs from time to time. If you are type in the pin you used in the app.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kuntri:
I dont have a phone tracking app. I have a data tracking app Onavo Count / Onavo Extend (VPN Access)

Release 1.9.7 is linked in the OP. Be sure to select the most recent Jellybean GApps as well.

To all the testers: THANK YOU! YOU ROCK!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dpwhitty11:
Any major differences from what we tested?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hero:
Nope. Just remember to fix permissions in CWM if you have problems. If the issues persist then I will flag them.

Which is "Hybrid" GAPPS? I did a search in this thread and Rootzwiki where the GAPPS packages are and I can't figure out which one that is. Is it 4.1.1?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] faehsemc:
So I received a phone call and after I was done my phone rebooted .. I fixed permissions and the same thing happened.. reflashed and the same thing happened. Think it might be a bad download or am I not the only one

anyone else getting the activating screen at boot as well?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Kipland007:
Yeah I'm also wondering which is the right gapps package. Normally I'd just pick a JB one but I figure it's kind of important for this rom....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] faehsemc:
Just download the most recent job gapps

Does everyone flashing this ROM have to fix permissions in CWM? If so, how is that done? Thanks!

After booting into CWM go to Advanced and at the verry bottom of the Advanced Menu select Fix permissions. wait... then reboot. Simple :)

---------- Post added at 08:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:41 PM ----------

So far so good with 1.9.7a. Thank you Pure Motive for all your hard work. A bug I noticed so far is that the notification bar (in tablet mode) sometimes no longer expands. A reboot fixes this problem. Also not sure if it is related, but using Battery Widget Reborn! notification for battery stats and graph updates on a curiously short time frame. Every 30 seconds or so it will pop up on the status bar (again in tablet mode) with an updated read of my battery remaining time. This didn't happen before on previous builds or other android devices I have. The trouble is that it will cover up some of the soft keys and notification bar. oh well a minor inconvience at this time at least until I figure out why it is refreshing so often..

I would still absolutely love enabling the power widgets for the status bar when in tablet mode. Other CM10 builds have it baked in. I'm not sure if it is in our build but disabled or whatnot but I will investigate when I have some time.

I'll post other bugs I may run across after running this build for several more days.

p.s. my IMEI was fine and my carrier shows Verizon instead of Roaming indicator off. However my phone number has gone to unknown again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Zool4nd3r:
Did you back up your IMEI?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JWorth:
just curious, is the base of this up to date with a lot of the cm10 progress? i know the camera's been worked out on cm10 but mms still has to be fixed after reboots and that's pretty much the only issue i've had. I was on PA a few weeks ago and am interested in checking it out again
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] aqhilles:
ROM seems to be working ok for me, except for sms -same issue everyone has with the missing phone number under status.

- Bluetooth works, but media does not work after a reboot. I have to re-pair -no pun intended :)

- The camera worked for a while. After a little while, the gallery crashes and the camera becomes "unavailable." A reboot brings it back, but having to reboot the phone after 2 pics is impractical. Putting camera was more reliable. Is anyone else experiencing the same issues with the camera?

I'm asking because -true story- I was going to restore the data from a ROM Toolbox backup for 1 app (a.i. keyboard.) I was outside and a moth scared the crap out of me and while I was trying to swat it, I must have hit restore all. I don't know if that did it (15% of the old app data was restored.) This backup set was from a prev rom (synergy) and on my first install of this rom, I restored the clock app from it and lost the data. I know it sounds far-fetched, but I did it twice, and same result.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jbzcar:
I did not, got to drag the ol' Celeron-D XP beast from the closet for a little QPST treatment. :eek:

It almost motivated me to reinstall Boot Camp on my MacBook, but not quite, lol. :rolleyes:

Oh, I forgot to mention the strangest part! I did not lose my IMEI upon the initial install, but after several reboots trying to get the density/DPI set how I prefer it. Never did get it perfect, either.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] unboostedzc:
after running for a day or so, the rom itself seems to be pretty stable. data on the other hand, completely shot.

yesterday data was good, a little up and down but strong 4G/3G transitions. last night i seem to have lost 4G at my house, which has very good coverage. toggling GSM only to LTE/GSM/CDMA auto would yield 3G only, then the phone started automatically going to WCDMA only then unknown. numerous reboots and toggles back and forth later and i get signal but no data. i can get 3G if i toggle LTE/CDMA, but going to anything else and data drops completely. LTE/GSM/CDMA goes to roaming triangle.

EDIT: reflashed 1.9.7 and 4G is strong until the first reboot in which the activating screen comes up. it attempts to activate for a few minutes then fails and goes to no data once again. what is supposed to be done at this point? when i go in to settings the network mode is set to LTE/CDMA/EvDo/GSM/WCDMA, system select is automatic and CDMA subscription is set to NV. data roaming is also disabled.

changing CDMA subscription to RUIM/SIM does nothing, enabling data roaming does nothing, i'm stuck back at no data instantly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JLow0214:
Try this it works for me every time. You will need to download the phone info app though.

The first part is to fix MMS but I just do all the steps.

1. Go into system settings->More...-> Mobile Networks -> CDMA Subscription. Change into NV.

2. Put phone into airplane mode. Go out of the menu and take it out of airplane mode.

3. Check about phone->status and you should have a weird number. This step may be unnecessary, but if you did it right you have a weird phone number like 000-000-1234.

4. Go back to system settings->More...-> Mobile Networks -> CDMA Subscription. and change to RUIM.

5. Airplane mode. Exit out of that menu and airplane mode again. check about phone -> status and your number should be restored!

You may have lost data which is where phone info comes in. If you lost data:

1. Go to system settings->More...-> Mobile Networks. Change network mode to LTE/CDMA

2. exit out that menu and 3g should come back but either way go into phone info.

3. In phone info go to phone information then scroll down and change set preferred network type to either LTE/CDMA auto (PROL) or LTE/GSM/CDMA auto (PRL).

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sanjsrik:
Did anyone else COMPLETELY lose all internet connection and couldn't get it back? Everything was fine with the latest nightly, then BAM, out of the blue I had ZERO internet connection, NOTHING worked, 3G, 4G, WiFi, NOTHING. I could make phone calls, but NOTHING solved the issue.

Finally, had to go back to synergy ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] somerandomguy1:
I'm in the same boat with 1.9.7a as unboostedzc (no OTA data after x hours) but this didn't work. Your first part got my number to show up, so thanks for that!

I can reflash 1.9.7 and get data back for a bit of time or restore from a nandroid backup, but eventually the same thing happens. The rest of the functionality of the ROM is fantastic! Thanks for all the hard work :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dpwhitty11:
Wifi tether working for anyone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Zool4nd3r:
Just to give my experience with the new build.

Overall very stable, just a few minor bugs. Like that guy ^ said, I can't get Wifi Tether to work at all, same as previous builds. On initial bootup I had some problems with "acore" stopping, but luckily I already knew that had to do with contacts, so I cleared all that out, restored everything again and it works fine.

Data is working wonderfully, no problems slowing down or being forced into 3g. Luckily I'm in a very good 4g area. Individual setting per app is so nice. Switched Youtube and Netflix over to tablet configuration and I like them much better.

Slight problems with the gallery, I tried playing some videos and it would mostly work, but every once in awhile it would FC. Camera seems to be working fine, I'm just making sure to focus every time before I take a picture.

One thing I noticed, coming from Synergy ROM, is that for some reason, the screen uses a disproportionate amount of battery. I've had the phone on for 8.5 hours, the screen on for 1 hour exactly, and it has used 42% of the battery, while currently sitting at 17% remaining life. While this isn't a huge inconveniece, as I'm getting an extended battery, I'm just unsure why it would take up so much battery life. I don't have auto-brightness on, and it is set just slightly above the dimmest it will go. On Synergy it would end up being around the 30-35% mark, but that would be with multiple hours, not just one.

Also, trouble syncing Facebook pictures with my contacts. It will get the contacts, just not the pictures. Makes my SMS inbox look rather bland, with a whole row of stock pictures, just with different names underneath. I've tried logging out, back in, making sure the account is on my phone. Can't seem to figure it out.

Good things : As fluid as ever. The recent tab UI is so smooth, HUGE difference from stock. I haven't had it hang on anything except one app, Gun Bros, but that is pretty intensive. This thing flies. Hybrid mode is everything I want. I don't know how often everyone else goes into settings, but I'm always in there trying to make everything perfect, and the dual-pane view is gorgeous and so functional. Personally, I really, really enjoy the on-screen keys. I'm not sure why so many people on here were hating on them. So I enabled them, and disabled the backlight for the hard keys, which makes them invisible on the phone, and I couldn't be happier with how it looks.

Honestly, great work. I would recommend it if I knew anybody else with a VZW GS3...but all my friends are iSheep, sadly.

Anyway, thank you for this, brilliant job.

EDIT

Found an app that forces Facebook sync, if any of you are interested in that kind of thing.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kuntri:
So you did not lose any of your phone info; IMEI, MID, Phone Number, etc.? Pretty sure you backed it up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Zool4nd3r:
Yes I backed it up, and no I didn't lose anything. Flashed it without a problem :)

---------- Post added at 02:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:55 PM ----------

Also, I tried the built in Wifi tether and it works for me, I'm watching Futurama on Netflix right now :)

If you are having trouble try it without a password.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] heynicebits:
Any have a guide to update if you are currently running the723 release? Do you just backup and reflash everything? How do you not lose all of your settings?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Zool4nd3r:
Just so y'all know. Bootloader was unlocked. I'm not going to post links because the information is all over the forums, but if you are unlocked, with the proper preparation, you can flash a custom kernel over this ROM and remove the kexec boot sequence. I'm currently running the new imoseyon Leankernel Beta V0.4 and my battery life has skyrocketed and I have OC abilities if I want. Paranoid Android is now complete...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] drbobmd:
And now the real fun begins :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Zool4nd3r:
Seriously this made my night. Booting up in half the time feels like a dream..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] drbobmd:
Truly. Its that little notion of seeing the jelly bean jar immediately that brings a great sense of peacefulness and simplicity to it all. I can't wait to see how your suggestion of imoseyon's Leankernel affects battery consumption over the course of tomorrow as it has previously not been the best (granted with a rom like this, it doesn't have much down time to conserve a charge anyway haha)

Devs: well played, good sirs.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Zool4nd3r:
I have been playing with my phone since I went with the Imo kernel and I'm telling you the difference in battery is huge. I am literally sitting at my desk (graveyard shift...) with the screen timeout on 10 minutes, just moving it every once in awhile, seeing how much screen time I can get out of it. It was atrocious before, but I'm nearing 4 hours right now and have plenty left.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] silkjones:
OK...i'm not a total noob but I still need to be walked thru a few things.

1) When I unlock the bootloader will it wipe my phone to the point I have to reflash my ROM, etc?

2) Can you walk me thru this process you described above. I'm definitely interested in improving my battery life. Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] msnglink:
So follow the instrutions that are in the unlock and you can flash the rom and kernals thru cwm or do you need to use odun? Plqnning on doing this tonight
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] drbobmd:
Search the market for EZ-Unlock. Super simple idiot-proof unlock tool. Install, press unlock. Done.

EZ-Recovery - flash latest CWM (NOT HYBRID - READ DIRECTIONS IN APP). Done.

Go to http://rootzwiki.com/topic/32286-kernel-aosp-jb-leankernel-minimalistic-kernel-v05-beta-81612/ and download the kernel, put it somewhere you'll be able to find it on your sdcard. Reboot recovery. Take the split second to admire how fast you jump into recovery =]. Flash the zip for the kernel just as you would any rom. Reboot system. BAM. Since you're probably still using a kexec rom, it will do the kexec triple boot thing, but that'll be taken care of soon =] Or if you're not completely sure how all this works and not feeling too frisky, just wait till mid next week when development explodes gooey jelly beans everywhere!

For whatever reason wifi hasn't been cooperating today, is this part of leankernel?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] silkjones:
Thanks a lot bro!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kuntri:
4 Concerns ... sorry =/

1. Coming from Syngery I downloaded the EZ Bootloader unlock - Unlock success!! So, from what I understand in general it is suppose to increase boot up time (w/ Paranoid) and not having the device boot 2 times --> recovery ---> reboot from recovery? If so, my device continued booting up as if the bootloader was still locked. What did I do wrong? Should start completely from New In The Box STOCK via ODIN --> Flash Stock Root ROM via ODIN --> EZ Unlock from Stock Root ROM --> then flash custom stock + kernel .... ???

2. In Paranoid settings --> Configurations. I am trying to display my device with the Nexus on-screen keys. I select every option (not including the tablet UI or phablet UI) just the 1st 2 (Hybrid & Stock UI) and nothing. What am i doing wrong here. Im currently on the most recent build btw.

3. Is it normal for my device to go into Acitvation Mode right after boot up?

4. Tried flashing Lean Kernel for OC'n purposes and smooth transitions that I was getting with Synergy. I guess my phone semi-bricked!!? Went blank after rebooting from recovery .. pressed power, nothing. home key, nothing. so did a battery pull, reboot & device booted back in recovery. So, at the time there no custom kernels for JB? I tried flashing the lk_aosp_jb_beta-v0.5 kernel, but no change. any ideas?! or suggestions?!?

sorry for all the questions...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] digitalsynner85:
don't know if anyone else is having an issue of the link for the ROM not working

question: since the bootloader is now unlocked, can we just simply install this as a regular rom instead of kexec and get the non-kexec kernel to go along with it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prototype7:
Yes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kuntri:
1 . which kernel did you download - latest beta kexec kernel? or latest beta non-kexec kernel?

2. im still experiencing the triple boot with this rom + new bootloader.

---------- Post added at 01:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:27 PM ----------

@prototype7,

when you say Yes, can u please explain? We no longer have to go thru EZ Recovery?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prototype7:
You'll get the triple boot as long as you have a kexec kernel installed, unlocking the bootloader just gives you the option to install a normal kernel, then you can flash a normal recovery and boot normally.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] unboostedzc:
you are awesome, super awesome even. :good:

EDIT:

holy ****, and the bootloader has been unlocked since i checked a couple days ago? best friday ever.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] piiman:
You are still flashing a kexec rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xXJay_RXx:
So do are we still in danger of losing our IMEI even with the boot loader unlocked? This is the first device ive owned that I was in danger of losing the IMEI so sorry for the dumb question
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] drbobmd:
I used beta v0.4, which is not kexec. Since paranoid v 1.9.7a is still a kexec rom, it will do its normal triple boot since the rom's coded to work with a kexec boot sequence until PureMotive updates it. For some reason Leankernel killed my wifi (which could be a part of the kernel's power saving feature) so I ended up reflashing v1.9.7a, charged to 100%, wiped battery stats, and it has been better 10 times better.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jspidah:
Other carrier s3's have been experiencing the issue so it has nothing to do with the bootloader being unlocked
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] drbobmd:
It increases boot time by bypassing secure bootloader verification and jumping straight into the boot process. There is a slight lag before the 'Galaxy s3' screen but it's working (catches me off guard sometimes too haha). Parandoid is still written as a kexec rom, and therefor will still do the kexec triple boot before getting up to speed. This will likely be changed in future builds. Flashing to stock isn't necessary.

System Settings > (Interface) System > Navigation Bar > Check Navigation Bar and customize =]

I think this might mean your IMEI was lost. Restore from your backup (of course you backed it up, only a dummy would've forgotten ;])

Are you sure you used the correct kernel? I'd use only SCH-I535 (Not I9300, which is sprint) specific kernels until development has come a little further. However I did read someone was able to flash a sprint kernel, but it's risky at best. The last thing you want is a shiny paperweight

Hope it helps =]

I have flashed a sprint kernal and it was not fully functional but booted and the device ran decent but I would highly suggest waiting for a VZW kernal.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] unboostedzc:
data is still strong after fixing.

anyone else getting reboots with using slacker and/or phone? i've noticed a couple times now when dialing, the phone will connect then the whole screen turns a translucent neon green. the phone app is still visible but is frozen, then the phone will reboot. slacker radio app also seems to produce a (hard) reboot randomly.

i flashed cwm 6.0.1.0 and i tried flashing leankernal v0.5 (non kexec) in recovery but it didn't work, trying kexec v0.3 version now.
