AOKP FAQ AND GUIDELINES​

FAQ and guidelines for Task's and Ktoon's AT&T Galaxy S3 AOKP thread.

tomween1's Q&A and of course Task's and Ktoons thread will be monitored and FAQ/bugs updated here as needed. ​

This is for the AT&T version of the Galaxy S3. This rom may work on different variants of the phone, but as for now Task and Ktoon do not have the time to support other versions.​

If you do not have the latest update of this rom consider it unsupported. This is why they update- to get rid of the bugs that we may be having on older versions.​

For any questions and answers not found here or through search or to post question's please visit tomween1's thread [Q&A]_For_AT&T_AOKP_SGH-I747~~ONLY. Thanks to tomween1. Go click his "Thanks".​

Flashing​

How to Update

Download the latest version of the ROM and Google Apps from the OP.

Reboot into recovery.

Make a Nandroid backup

Wipe cache partition

Advanced > Wipe Dalvik Cache

Install zip from sdcard > choose zip from sdcard (wherever you saved the download) > ROM] AOKP Task & Ktoonsez Run a Train (version)(TGFY ONLINE!!!).zip

Install zip from sdcard > choose zip from sdcard (wherever you saved the download) > Flash current gapps in op.zip (Flash *twice* just for giggles, never hurts)

Reboot

PS. Sometimes all that is needed is a reboot again. Doesn't hurt to try it.

Troubleshooting/Comprehensive Re-flash

(Optional, but recommended) Back up any apps you may want restored (Titanium Backup's batch mode (a PRO feature) makes this painless! Set TB batch filters to User type only. DO NOT RESTORE SYSTEM DATA! Hell, don't even back them up.

Re-download the latest version of the ROM and Google Apps (even if it's the same version you have) from the OP. It's possible you may have a corrupted download.

Reboot into recovery. Follow the process below exactly, and there should be no NEED for a "kernel cleaning" script.

Wipe cache partition

Advanced > Wipe Dalvik Cache

(Optional, but recommended) Mounts and Storage > mount /system & /data

Install zip from sdcard > choose zip from sdcard (wherever you saved the download) > Flash [ROM] AOKP Task & Ktoonsez Run a Train (version)(TGFY ONLINE!!!).zip

(Optional, but recommended) Mounts and Storage > mount /system & /data

Install zip from sdcard > choose zip from sdcard (wherever you saved the download) > Flash gapps-ics-(version)-signed.zip ***Jelly bean or sammy gapps will not work!***

Reboot

PS. Sometimes all that is needed is a reboot again. Doesn't hurt to try it.

Test ROM, BEFORE restoring *any data* (if you did a full reset). DON'T RESTORE SYSTEM DATA! You have been told twice! :D

Fixing permissions in CWM helps fix MANY *random* glitches.

If you see a specific app always crashing or force-closing, wipe its data with Titanium Backup or Settings > Applications > Clear Data.

If you still encounter problems, do a FULL reset ( Recovery > Wipe data/factory reset) & follow the steps again. THEN, you can report issues!

Thanks to avidmovies for the above instructions from AOKP FAQ. Go click his "Thanks"

KERNEL: If you are using any kernel other than the one packaged with this ROM please post questions and problems to the appropiate kernel thread.

TOUCHWIZ FEATURES: This is an AOSP rom, touchwiz(sammy) features are not incorporated into this rom. Reason you ask? Framework!!!

REQUESTS AND ETA'S: Pretty early in the stage of developement and many new and incredible features will be coming our way. But, as bad as we may want something let's keep these two questions out of the ROM DEVELOPMENT thread.

BATTERY LIFE: We all at some time have been proud or dissapointed in our battery life, but please keep battery stats out of the development thread. There are way too many variables that influence battery life to be concerned with in a DEVELOPMENT thread. Install betterbatterystats and figure out what your problem is. Chances are there is a thread that is already discussing your problem/s.

BENCHMARK SCORES: The devs have stated many times that these scores are BS. If you run a benchmark and want to discuss it, there are threads that are purely for discussing these random numbers. Task's and Ktoon's thread is not one of them.

ROM CONTROL: This is a very customizable rom, please spend some time and learn the many features it has.

BUG REPORTING: Very minimal at least read the thread from the date of the update you are running. If you see a couple posts about a paticular bug then consider it noted by devs. They do read these. Remember if he can't duplicate the problem then he sure as hell can't fix it. Also it would be beneficial if some logcats were included with bug/problem reporting.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS AND KNOWN BUGS​

Just flashed and my phone is hot. If you just flashed. you should expect the device to get hot. you just used every resource it has.​

My google apps are working correctly. If it was just the play store force closing all you would've needed to do is reflash gapps. gapps is notorious for not taking the first try. but you always have to flash gapps after a rom install and make sure to clear cache and dalvik. no issues should occur if those steps are taken.​

My SD card is not working. Try this. EaseUS​

While playing music through headphones and a notification comes through, music stops. Hit the volume button up. Known bug. ​

Camera FC's if repeatedly hit the focus button. Don't repeatedly hit the focus button.​

I have a question. Questions of ANY KIND, go to Q&A. Quote from Mr.Highway (forum moderator).​

Statistics reporting notification keeps popping up? I enable it and it pops up - I disable it and it still pops up. Turn it off and wipe delvic.​

Anyone able to disable capacitive lights in the latest build? Not fixed yet. Time my friend.​

Just wanted to report a bug that I have found. I have been using the stock messaging app included in this latest build. I was texting just fine last night with a couple of friends and everything was perfect. Today I have sent a couple messages and when I am typing I can see the predictive text firing off, but there is no text in the actual text box and when I hit send after typing anything, it actually does not send. Its a known bug. back out of the mms app and go back in and it will work properly again. it only happens when you are in the mms app and you lock the screen while in the middle of a message.​

My phone doesn't show LTE! This rom displays LTE as 4g, HSDPA+ as H, 3g as 3g.​

I flicker between H and 3g. AOKP shows true connection where as stock roms just show H+. Not an issue you are probably just in an area with out strong H+ connection. ​
