How many numbers are there total in imei? I have 14 right now. I have no issues yet just wondering how many I should have.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Metfanant:
Esch alwahs recommends a clean wipe...but its certainly not required...

What theybdo howeever ask ia that if you you dirty flash and have problems...do a clean install before reporting them

No

Don't restore system data

I am missing the last number. My phone seems fine. Calls and data work so far. Should I bother with the backup?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hobart!:
OK none of my pics and wallpapers on ext SD card are showing up. I switched kernels but no dice..unmounted SD and remounted..no dice..anyone else?

Edit..opened camera and chose to save to SD...after taking pic ext SD gallery came back
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Karl:
i think its 15
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] a65lopez:
apps fc

Just had all my apps fc! Didn't happen with 155. I cleared cache,dalvick and fixed permissions and they're working again.

Whew!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Karl:
a backup? of what you mean a restore?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Anonamoose:
Hey all of you talking about IMEI's I have 15 digits I just rooted Tuesday and am still on stock just FYI .
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Karl:
you should have 15 if your rooted stock the issue arose with the last 3 builds of this rom ( for me anyways)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] blaine07:
Hey man, THANKS! THAT was a quick easy fix.

Keep up the good work guys. Roms super smooth for me and haven't found any other issues. Test of time will be battery life :)

Thanks again!

Hell if I know. I just know it helps sometimes lol :p

Is this cause for alarm if I flash back to build 125 will that bring it back. I am currently happy with this build and plan on staying here unless this is a big problem
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dscblu:
Im sry if this has been covered but has the strange bars that randomly appear on some apps at the top of the multi window windows been fixed in the new release?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] blaine07:
I have had that since r118(earliest build I've tried). Seems to be worse sometimes than others but...I haven't found a fix either.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ChrisNee1988:
With r169, I noticed that google restore isn't working again. Did it work for anyone else? I usually like to have my wifi passwords and apps restored by google because a lot of my apps require me to log in. Restoring those apps by TiBU usually has issues unless i wipe the data on those specific apps and log back in

It worked with r147/155 but it didn't work with the build before that. I think I asked on the forums and people had said that it was disabled on purpose, is that true?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] airmaxx23:
I wonder if this is a widespread issue or isolated to just a few devices.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Gunthermic:
For those keep asking about the use of AOSP Email... Here ya go...

Not my work, i am just the poster of this gentlemans zip file.

This Email Client is Inverted!!!!!

Thank kryten2k35

Install Instructions:

1. Flash in recovery

2. Choose AOSP to get AOSP Email Client and Exchange(with security fix)

3. Reboot

4. Go into Settings->Apps->Email and clear data

5. Reboot

You should be good. If you dont clear data insettings, it will have issues... you been warned

AOSP Email/Exchange For TouchWhiz....

If you dont like the Email or the Invert of it, flash zip again in recovery and select Stock!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dirtfoot:
Either. I have the restore option as well as a backup of a previous ROM. Just curious if it even matters that I am missing the last number. If no issues I assume I should just leave it alone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jaymattt:
I am. It seems that if you want to avoid this, everytime you reboot, you gotta reboot recovery and wipe cache/dalvik. I'm not using the AOSP lockscreen so we know it's not because of which lockscreen is active.

Anyone know what's going on here?

I can confirm that I'm missing the last digit as well. I came from r56 (yeah..56), ODINed back to stock JB, unlocked the bootloader, flashed r147, r155 and then r169.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] blaine07:
15 digit IMEI here...lucky I guess. Doh
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] spierce617:
I am still on r147 and I have 14 showing in my IMEI also.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sk8er88:
Oh, that makes sense, so basically do it before and after right? I never thought of that, I'll have to do that next time. Good advice, thanks.

I just noticed my ink effect doesn't work anymore. I rebooted and it wouldn't work. I tried wiping cache, dalvik, and fixing permissions and it still won't work. The only thing I did was freeze a few apps to get rid of blast. Some of them were Samsung apps but it did work after I did that. Has this happened to anyone else.

In a text editor I deleted those lines you showed in your post. Saved and rebooted.

This rom works great except when I try to take a video and change resolution then stop working.

So, I open camera application again but I can't use camera application anymore.

anybody know about this?

Thank you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bobcaruso:
Sorry, but it really doesn't make sense, when you wipe data (clean install) there is NO cache or Delvik, that is part of what a full wipe does, and installing a rom doesn't add either, only running the rom does
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lennie paz:
I only have 14.

My battery dies really fast I started at 100% and a hour later I'm at 79% should I reflash or is there a fix for this?

I really want to try this ROM out but it seems like there are still a lot of kinks to be worked out, hopefully they will be fixed soon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ronbo85:
I'm on 147 my IMEI has 14 digits. One thing I noticed is my other phones have an IMEI & MEID which were the same number but the MEID dropped the last digit hence one had 14 digits the other 15.

I dont see an MEID on this device.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DieselNY:
What text editor are you using? When i delete the lines and save and reboot I then check it again and those lines are back.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] blestsol:
I searched back a few pages update to the last release I'm on and I don't see anything so..

On the latest build, I have all the location things on and even trusted in pdroid. But once I try and use gps in maps I get an error saying please enable Google location apps on or something.

Completely clean flashed so idk what the problem is. Any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hobart!:
The imei issue is a know issue. It happened in galaxy mod as well...as far as Pure Motive says...its fine. Yes its not there but it is there just not displaying properly. If it was missing a number for real I don't think data or phone calls or anything data wouldn't work...I may be wrong.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xM Minton Mx:
Works for me...

Try going to application manager and find what pops up for instance if svoice pops up then click on it and clear defaults. I cleared defaults for Google search for that pop-up to show up again for me so I could show you
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ziggy471:
Damn, way to many pages to go through this morning..... I'm going to try and answer most of these, I'm sure I missed quoting some though.

2. No, it's a newer build of the kernel, check the dates, I have like 72 commits since I posted that kernel.

4. If you are NOT running an exfat enabled TWRP, then that would be correct. Personally, I'm running an exfat enabled TWRP.

You can, but majority of the kernel /devs/ include an entire boot.img, ie., both a kernel and the ramdisk. Personally when I release a kernel to the wild, I only release the kernel, Koush's AnyKernel style (just an updated way of doing it), since most ROM devs modify their ramdisks. If you flash a different kernel and it has a ramdisk included in it, then you may have other issues later.

Me too. ;)

That has absulotely no modules in it, just a boot.img, so also refer up a couple. Modules reside in /system/lib/modules, and must match the kernel version. If you flash just a boot.img, you over-write the kernel and ramdisk only, however, you are not adding in the appropriate modules, so yes, wifi wouldn't work.

Again, I haven't posted a kernel only build of the latest. Even if I did, unless I included the entire ramdisk, or modify the existing one, things wouldn't work quite the same. Also, the latest posted on my site IS from the LK3 source, here's the commit.

For anyone having issues like this, please go into Developer options, and un-check and re-check the USB Debugging. We are still trying to figure out why the hell init is hanging. Unfortunately, my phone doesn't have the issue, so it's being very difficult to track down. As soon as we get this figured out, we will let you all know.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mikeman45:
Ziggy dio you have a certain io scheduler you like/perfer/recommend. I know the suggested governor judt wondering on the io.

On 155 and I have 14 digits in my IMEI. Works fine though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] airmaxx23:
Yeah, I couldn't wait any longer, flashed it and setting it up now. Search on XDA is down right now, how do I disable the ink effect on the lock screen?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xM Minton Mx:
+1 I never know what to pick lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gts012:
I wonder if the 14 digit IMEI is related to the issue with Tasker not properly reading the cell tower numbers? This all started back on r147 w/ the Tasker issue, and I just now noticed I've also got 14digit IMEI
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xM Minton Mx:
Right here

It doesn't look like you have the option for none so I would just disable ripple effect... or turn on aosp lockscreen. It's very quick and responsive. :thumbup:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] slanidracula:
Solved. Thanks. I reset all app prefs, rebooted, doubletapped home, set search as default, refroze svoice.

Update: s-voice can't be frozen in TB for doubletap home search to work. You all probably knew that...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] x-y-no:
Apologies if this is a known issue - I did read through about the last 50 pages ...

I can't get any wallpaper image selected from gallery to stick on the lock screen. Images selected from the standard wallpapers work fine. Images from gallery work fine on the home screen.

I'm just trying Synergy for the first time - over from CleanRom. Still setting up, looks really great so far. Multi-window is pretty damn slick. Hope y'all will have patience with me if I have any more noob questions.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] airmaxx23:
One last question regarding Multi-Window, when I install a new app it isn't showing up in the multi-window list. Any suggestions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jaymattt:
Use the JB gallery (yellow flowers icon) and that should work. I was able to change my lockscreen wallpaper but in case this makes a difference, I use a PIN to unlock my phone, so it's not the regular 'swipe to unlock' lockscreen.

---------- Post added at 10:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:32 AM ----------

You gotta hit the EDIT button on the multi-window bar and add that app manually.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Schaweet:
I did a dirty flash over the top and it was there. Maybe not the best answer, but it was a simple fix.

Thank you very much, search is not working on XDA or I would have used it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bobcaruso:
Don't know if Ziggy has it in his kernel, but row is the best scheduler for our rom, if not, bfq, if not that then deadline
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mikeman45:
Oh I think cfq is the automatic one. I googled what they were and still not sure what one was best. Looks like I'll be changing it. Thanks!

Edit: row was not an option so I went with deadline.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bobcaruso:
by the way, I meant our phone, not our rom lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] airmaxx23:
Once I do that I see no way of adding apps, my downloaded apps are not there to pick from.

Edit.. A reboot made them show up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JonLido:
I can confirm that this fixed battery drain on my dirty flashed (from 147) phone. Load dropped off dramatically from 100%, and cpu frequency dropped to minimum. In the battery monitor "Android System" was showing up as using all of the battery- not the usual media drain, so I was wondering what was going on. Incidentally, a quick toggle of debugging didn't fix the problem. I had to turn off USB debugging, wait maybe 30 seconds until I saw the CPU load drop, and then I could re-enable it.

Ziggy, will this need to be done on every boot, or just the one time?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jaymattt:
My response to the multi-window query is incorrect -- sorry. I just downloaded a new app and it doesn't show up like you said. The EDIT button serves only to remove apps already present.

EDIT: I was partially correct. If you reboot your phone after downloading an app, you will now see the app in the panel that opens up when you hit the EDIT button. Not sure if this can be accomplished without rebooting.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] x-y-no:
Hmmm ... still no go. I tried both gallery apps. I can change the home screen wallpaper just fine with either, but the lock screen wallpaper won't change.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mikeman45:
Not sure, it works for me.

---------- Post added at 10:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:55 AM ----------

OK so I got android tuner free from play store and set governor to MSc or whatever and io to deadline and I lost the ink effect again. Ripple effect does turn ink ofF but I still have both on. I did change from blue to red. Is this because of adjustments to kernel from tuner app or is our something else. I don't believe I did anything besides that, what's the deal.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jlmr731:
If you use root explorer or i think ES file explorer will work too. You must use an app that has root rights to change any file in /system directories so if using root explorer go to the /system/csc directory and at the top you will see a toggle box that says mount R/W you must tap it so you can edit the file and once its saved you should have a backup copy there, (root explorer does this for you)

If you use another app to do this like ES make sure you have root permisions and mount the directory in read/write

Sorry for asking, but I looked through about 30 pages and the search option is still down. I still can't get a gps lock (since going to r147, on r169 now).

He has stated time and time again that you need to do a factory reset to not have problems. If a dirty worked he would tell us about it.

You can get back quickly by using Titianium backup. Have it make a zip file of your backup. Then after flashing the ROM have it install the TB zip file.
