Put the apk in system/apps using a root explorer. Then change permissions to rw-r--r-- and reboot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] magics.:
I say the same thing its a great rom, i have the hang off issue bad in my area with spotty 4g.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Peaceful7:
yep, did all that. wiped cache and dalvik and still nothing. if it matters im using "samsungcamera.apk" taken from a rooted version of jellybeans system/apps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KBizzle:
From a TW rom? If so, you can't use TW camera with this rom.

Hey KB, so are we going to be able to get PA v2.99 on our phones http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1619582 or do we have to wait for 4.2 to be ported over 1st?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KBizzle:
I'm not sure at this point. Once pa makes the transition, I'll know more. Hopefully should know something by tomorrow if moles releases 2.99.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] robertm2011:
If we do get 4.2 on our phone, the biggest difference will be that, because of the new multiple user accounts addition, there is a fairly radical restructuring of the way files are stored. There's now sdcard0 and another storage called "emulated" (my quotes), and that's for devices without an external SD card, don't know what they've done to devices with external storage...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Peaceful7:
well sir to be perfectly honest im not exactly sure what TW means. :p

Thanks Kbizzle I am eager to see what direction PA takes now. The CM10 base has been very good imo so I hope the transition and final result are just as slick as CM10 has been for us. Cheers Kbizzle, thanks for developing for us!

Well after doing some more investigation, it appears that PA will continue to support the CM based rom. The aosp switch will more or less only apply to aosp based devices.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KingOfThaJungle:
So will we not follow the Galaxy Nexus suite anymore then being that they are on AOSP and moving onto v4.2 in the next PA build, v2.99?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KBizzle:
I wish I could tell you more but I just don't know fully at the moment.

Is the tether working? I can't get it working! No apps as tether work either!

Everything is fine, besides this! USB and wifi tether do not work! Natively, or the root Wifi Tether.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] haoleflip:
I've been through quite a few phones, loading custom ROMs, etc. I'd have to say this is one of the best I've ever worked with.

Thanks KBizzle!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] vestaviajag:
WiFi tether is working. I posted a few pages back my settings and the app I use. Search for it, I promise it works.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Peaceful7:
ah, yeah it was from a touchwiz rom. damn.. in that case im pretty limited in my selection of camera apps then. haha.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Dratini:
I tried your settings and it didn't work for me which was why I posted. It's odd. Idk I'd I need to wipe my cache or something but it Doesnt work!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] vestaviajag:
That is odd. Sorry, wasn't being condescending, with all these pages, it's hard to read through all of them.

A lot of people, with this ROM, seem to think you HAVE/SHOULD wipe everything before you flash. If it's not working regardless of the wifi tether app you use, it most likely is that.

I just had to come back to Clockwork Mod from using TWRP on my Shooter, so I tend to wipe everything a few times with the CWM recovery. Sometimes, I've read, it doesn't wipe everything the first time, or never does?, I'm not sure.

Try those things, and let us know how it goes.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Unibrow:
Built in WiFi tether is working for me, I didn't have to do anything special to get it working either. Have you guys tried that instead of specific apps?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mw86:
I find the same thing. Tried twrp for only a few and when i couldn't get it to actually wipe the old files the proper way for a clean install ive stuck with Touch CWM Recovery since.

I agree and also find it helps to wipe everything more than once. There is a reasoning behind it and it always worked great like this:

Rom on external sd as well as gapps.

-removed external sd

-Boot cwm

-wipe/factory reset

-wipe dalvik cache

-wipe cache

-mounts and storage- mount system, data, sd card (claims it fails), cache

-mounts and storage- format each option available

-advanced-reboot recovery

To be certain every old file is wiped repeat every step above once more just in case.

-once back to recovery pop external sd card back in

-advanced-wipe dalvik

-wipe cache

-mounts and storage - mount cache, system, data, external sd

-install from zip- select external sd card (if did not show up remove sd card reinsert, reboot recovery repeat above steps and make sure again to mount external sd card)

-select rom file install it

-install from zip-external sd-select gapps and install

-wipe dalvik

-wipe cache

-mount system, data, cache, sd card, external sd

-advanced-fix permissions

-reboot phone option

Fill in account info at first boot. Once initial setup is finished reboot to recovery.

-advanced

-wipe battery stats

-wipe dalvik

-wipe cache

-mount system, data, cache, sd card, external sd card

-advanced-fix permissions.

-reboot phone

*this is necessary since sometimes permissions for one or more of those partitions is not correct till the rom settles and you re-fix permissions. Otherwise a few things can happen, apk files may say they can't be installed, setting system options may fail, the phone upon installing stuff may say no free space when you know there is and even apps missing like gapps and other apps that should be there and accecible.

Looking to install a custom Kernel after all that?

-kernel file and kernel cleaner zip on external sd

-reboot to recovery

-Advanced

-wipe dalvik

-wipe battery stats

-wipe cache

-mounts and storage - mount system, data, sd card, external sd card, cache

-install from zip - select external sd card

-from the list install either Kernel cleaner for example two different ones at different times were and are provided in Ktoonsez thread from Kt747 kernel in OP. - the kernel cleaner will wipe the stock or original kernel and fix partitions for install

-select your custom kernel Kt747 in my example and install

-advanced - wipe dalvik

-wipe cache

-mounts and storage - mount each partition system, data, cache, sd card, external sd card

-advanced - fix permissions

-reboot phone option

If all went well you will not have any of the original issues i mentioned above when some of this is not done. All steps may not be necessary but I don't have trouble when I clean install like that. I hope this helps others.

With CWM, don't you end up with several gigabytes worth of data in the blobs folder very quickly?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] vestaviajag:
Oh, I didn't try anything really, just set things to what I had with my Evo 3D, and it worked first try, so I haven't tried/changed anything else. Just told em what I did and that I knew it worked.

But it's good to see that someone else has it working too!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Thmstec:
Ive been having Bluetooth A2DP audio quality issues. I've been having the issues since updating to 2.54. I flashed 2.54 + ktoonz kernel at the same time after a full wipe from 2.53 with included kernel. The issue appears to be (from looking at the speena) a complete lack of the lower frequencies being transmitted over A2DP. Results in music sounding horrible.

I wiped after 2.54 + kernel and then went with jus 2.54 and still have the same issue. Am I the only one having this issue?

I tried to go back to my 2.53 nandroid...but there seems to be something wrong because it doesn't boot... I'll try a fresh 2.53 soonish if no one has any ideas
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KBizzle:
Bluetooth is an issue in the cm base ATM.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Jinded:
Yeah I and a few others are experiencing the same issue on the latest build of AOKP as well. Hope it gets fixed soon since I normally exclusively use several BT speakers and headsets for music throughout the day and this makes them all unusable.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mw86:
For some bluetooth issues have been found using too low a minimum mhz and or too low and undervolt. Most likely your issues are related to what Kbizzle mentioned but to be sure these can also cause those issues.

Well i feel silly saying this after all i typed above. What is the blobs folder? To my knowledge i have not had any issues using cwm recovery. An early version i used that exposed emmc partitiob caused me issue but using latest touch cwm recovery found in sprint toolkit has not had any issues installing or utilizing phone subsequently. No issues of any system or partitions filling up. Can you let me know what the blobs folder is or where to read on it. I cant truly answer you without knowing that.

I absolutely love this rom, but Ever since i have had my SGS3 this rom has NEVER worked properly... I am pretty familiar with android, I work for a cell phone company and a computer science major... so i definitely know what im doing... but it seems after a few days on this rom it seems to start FC's things and when i switch modes like my icons on the home screen with change their DPI on their own and be smaller than some of the other icons on my screen... :/ if anyone knows why these things occur please lemme know what im doing wrong :/ thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] haoleflip:
I would start over with a full wipe and reinstall, as I am not getting any of these problems you're talking about. You could have some conflicting apps on your phone, too (not all apps from the market are "safe"). Also, if you're using an app like Titanium backup to restore previous apps and settings from a different ROM, this could also be your problem. Some older app settings and older apps themselves aren't compatible with new ROM builds. Example: I once tried backing up apps and settings from an old ICS build and then restoring the apps+settings to a new Jellybean build. Of course, they weren't compatible and caused lots of random FCs and crashes.

I've been on PA.2.22 since it came out in Oct and I decided to dirty flash the newest update PA.2.54 and all I have to say is that idk how you devs managed to do it but you guys made my phone run even more smoother with even better battery life which I didn't think was possible. Love this ROM.

Since 2.22 I had this issue with torch were I needed to toggle the light in the app for the toggle button to work. Is anyone else having this? Will a clean wipe fix it?

Other than that and paranoidandroid settings crashing when I try to restore, I am loving this ROM.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] n2mschf:
So sorry if this has been covered people, just arrived from the epic 4g section and read a few pages but not the whole thread yet. Just got my sg3 and rooted it up and went straight for this ROM... first issues are as follows.

1. Bluetooth on stock TW sounded way good, on pa 2.54 it sounds horrible, then if I make a call it sorta kicks into normal but still not as good as stock...

2. Running JustunBean's gapps and on my epic the stock Keyboard was like Swype and on this one it doesn't work.

Again sorry if this has been covered a million times but I just haven't had the time to read a whole thread that I already read on the epic side...not looking to be spoon fed just pointed in the direction of a fix if any or to point it out to the people smarter than myself in hopes of a fix...

Thanks in advance guys...and kbizzle you the snizzle! This phone is impressive for sure, luved my epic and this thing is a beast in comparison!!

Update: so I found the acid sound mod, first impression is it does sound better but I still have to make a call and hang up before it "kicks in" so to speak...all in all a worth while mod tho, does have nice deep base and clear highs. It seems to have cured some distortion on the low end that I was suffering with DSP Manager...fwiw
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mw86:
I have the same issue yes on the flashlight, no fix i know of. Early PA flashlight toggle had an option in settings with the toggles that could set high or stock intensity. High setting never worked but when you would check the regular option then the flashlight toggle worked. After that option was removed from the menus, i have had to do the same steps you outlined to get flashlight toggle in the navigation bar to work. Its no biggy to me. I have a feeling we will just have to see when all the changes take place to PA if it functions again then. Paranoid is at a big transition stage and is growing and going through the required growing pains.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KBizzle:
Bluetooth is an issue atm. I'm not sure of Justin bean gapps and their configuration but the stock swype keyboard is 4.2, so if you want it, I am sure there is an apk available for you to use.

Data Isssue

Ok, so I'm having horrible data issues. I'm running 2.54. I've read the post I could find concerning data, but none of them apply to me. I don't have 4g in my area, but I can't get a constant data signal. I put PA on my finace's s3, and she's not having any data loss. I did a clean install with every flash. I wiped my internal storage. I'm not sure what the problem is....any suggestions?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tlahpalli:
Has anyone come up with a camera fix or troubleshoot options? Also, my 4g data works awesome in Kansas City and surrounding areas. It does disconnect periodically when I am at work or in certain areas, but by toggling airplane mode or the app that restarts the signal works well to fix it. I kinda left the data thing alone since it usually loses anyways after resetting it. but at home and most other places, it finds and holds signal strength without issues.

I don't know exactly what in my settings or setup I specifically did or what is making it work, but I can run some tests and let you know so that others can enjoy its glory and speed!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mw86:
Sure what is the current version of your modem in about phone section as well as the PRL and do you have roaming enabled? Since no 4g like me... You have it set to cdma/evdo only right?

I had a lot of issues on my stock modem driver and prl. I think i started on LF9 and updated to latest LJ7. Prl i went from something like stock 25001 to latest 25006 prl and still had trouble on and off. So i followed the thread to update prl again and loaded the latest corporate prl 56009. Not everyone is having the same results but in anycase updated one of those might be able to improve your situation.

Have to say I am in love with this ROM so far (installed it last night). Has my favorite ROM builder for its core and all the modifications I could ask for. Nice work!!!

I have a question though. Do you know where I can get the installer for the live wallpaper that would cascade my pics? I have searched the internet but I just can't fund the name of it.

Any help would be great. Thanks again for this awesome build.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Jamin13:

Great write up, i can attest using latest LJ7 modem and latest prel 25006 or latest corporate prl 56009 has helped me with data problems almost non existing now.

Do we have to use triangle away or anything to get the flash counter to 0?

---------- Post added at 02:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:08 PM ----------

Yes, Triangle Away is the only way to do that.

If you had read the thread he linked to, it clearly states under that it has to be done using ODIN. It flashes both the stock rooted JB ROM with the newest LJ7 modem.

And for 6, all you have to do its reboot the phone to the system. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] devastatorx:
Thanks, still have an occasional data drop on the latest prl, might try switching to the corporate prl. Can't wait for that next release, this is easily one of the best roms I've ran on any device as far as features, smoothness, and battery life go. I'm very impressed and will continue to daily with it.

---------- Post added at 10:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:26 PM ----------

The Rom I linked has to be flashed with Odin. I didn't find one that was flashable from recovery, but if you do odin it, just do a nandroid and hold onto it in case you have to go back..then you won't have to Odin again. Also, the modem is I included when you flash the linked stock rom in Odin.

One more thing...make sure you pick one recovery and stick with it as far as your backups go. TWRP backups are not compatible with CWM and vice versa. Unless something has changed, correct me if I'm wrong.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] SwimDrewid:

It is still advisable to follow these instructions if I'm already on L710?

And where does that flash counter come into play?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Jamin13:
Yeah, follow the instructions and you will be fine.

The flash counter is a safeguard against rooted devices, showing how many times your phone has had something flashed by ODIN.

Right. But under what circumstances is this a problem?

From what I understand, S-Beam doesn't work on this Rom. Is there something that works like it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Gavisann:
Android Beam, but you can't share files as fast since S-Beam uses an adhoc Wifi.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] RussellEstridge25:
How stable is this ROM? My buddy just had a hard crash just checking some messages and it wiped everything.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shaun0207:
So what exactly does Android Beam do then?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mw86:
That is strange. Fully stock and installed with a clean install (you must be sure nothing was leftover on internal sd and system partition etc) this rom is fully stable. Is your friend using an alternare kernel or anything? Most issues are from previous installations that left just a file or two. No reboots or crashing here since extremely early versions of PA. If your friend has a custom kernel make sure its not undervolted too much. I can show mine if need be i dont have issues with my volts or frequencies. I use Kt747 kernel ever since ive been on Paranoid. We would be glad to help if you can provide a few details on your friends setup. I am surr users here can attest to the stability of this rom.

Known issues are small... MMS for some send if a subject is added but for me it still dont. (if i was concerned i could use third party software) also many AOSP/AOKP/CM10 roms have crackling on bluetooth a2dp which is exacerbated by having too low of an undervolt or rarely if you use 96mhz min but mostly the first one.

Android beam is when you tap two NFC devices together and it transfers data over a bluetooth connection, S beam does essentially the same thing but instead of utilizing bluetooth to send information it uses wifi direct. That's my understanding, anyway...so I could very well be incorrect.
