OP may also want to make a note to be sure that your sdcard is FAT32. Not really an issue for those with 16 or 32GB, but anyone with a 64GB card that used the phone or windows to format will definitely want to copy everything off and reformat it. AOSP/CM roms corrupt sdcards formatted as exFAT on boot so you could lose everything stored on it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
It will be tagged non kexec or for unlocked only. This thread should not even be here...incubus has this covered i the original dev section. Fyi just make sure you unlock bootloader and you will have no troubles as kexec will work just fine on locked or unlocked bootloaders.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Skyrocketing:
Why is it important to use CWM and not TWRP?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
Cwm 6.0.1 is the only recovery to support kexec...if your unlocked and flash non kexec cm10 then all custom recoveries we have should work...cwm touch,cwm 6.0.1, twrp...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] twentysided:
Thanks for the instructions. I plan to try this later today.

I just want to disagree with the title you're using. Not encountering any bugs yet during your own personal usage and "FULLY STABLE" are two very, very different things.

In my opinion, it seems disrespectful to the CM team and the hard work they do for you to claim their alpha build (which they have clearly defined and prominently stated as such) is actually "FULLY STABLE".

A more appropriate title would have been "WORKS FINE FOR ME".
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thekendog:
Good lord I have missed AOSP. Flashed this and v0.5 lean kernel this morning and so far it is running SWEET. Goodbye Touchwhiz! Only thing I've noticed is my MEID is different than when I was on TW. However, my IMEI is right and I have a backup anyways so it's cool.

Anyone happen to have a working Verizon Visual Voicemail for this build? The APK I used from the stock doesn't install or won't even work once copied to system.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thekendog:
For real dude. The last few days have made me realized why Verizon wanted to lock the bootloader in the first place. Lots of people on here doing things they haven't researched.

same thing working and NOT working as in the kexec version? exampl: mms?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ctheory83:
Have you read anything in this thread? Seriously.

These guys work hard ****ing enough making these ROMs and whatnot work, and they're usually unpaid - few are lucky enough to get a few bucks for lunch or a beer after hours. They're not babysitters.

Enough with the hand-holding on here people. If you can't read, or if you don't feel comfortable with flashing these things because you don't know how you need to do one of two things:

1. Read, read, and read again. Read the instructions. Read posts in the same thread from people who have tried, how they succeeded, and consider replicating that. I don't know how many threads get **** up because you can't read on the VERY FIRST POST that is says "MMS IS WORKING".

2. Don't flash anything. You're already assuming risk in doing so, and there is nobody to blame but yourself when it comes to flashing. Things *should* work, but things don't always go as planned. If you're uncomfortable with what you've seen so far, stay away from it. Nobody is here to sit around and try to sell you on a ROM.

People need to start being big kids here.

I use the Mobile Hotspot to tether. I have a shared plan. Could not tether so I went back to my backup of Synergy. I'll try this again if anybody has any ideas on how to get tether to work. Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jb_alphamale:
Used TWRP 2.2. Worked perfect. Did the wipe (data, cache and system).Went like butter.

Edit:1 h after instalation. Played with everything. Everything works. I'm in roaming and I only have 3g. BT, 3g MMS. No complains. I'm happy.Thanks man.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ctheory83:
What ROM were you coming from? I had TWRP installed with Beans R1 (behind the times, I know) but wanted to play it safe so I went with CWM.

EDIT: Confirmed booting, so far so good. I used CWM Non-touch 6.0.1.0, coming from Beans R1 (did NOT come from a kexec ROM fyi), did my backup/wipes/and flashed the ROM, then apps. Looks beautiful. Just love the pure stock look - so sleek and sharp, great stuff.

Things I can also say for sure: with the way I flashed, I still have my IMEI/MEID/everything in my "About Phone" section working correctly. Data is working smoothly, location services are working nicely and have put a fancy little weather update on my lockscreen. Daddy like.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pyrodex:
Tether worked for me natively, it was under More in Wireless & Networks. There isn't a quick shortcut for it but it worked and no issues.

And... I just found the settings to make it come in the notification toggles. Look around in settings->system and you'll see the quick enable.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jb_alphamale:
It does not matter. I've wiped out everything. Data, cache, dalvik (on the same partition with data) and system. Came from Synergy1.7b23.

I'm thrilled. Absolutely works great.

How can we invite the dev to come over to XDA and share his work with us?

---------- Post added at 04:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:32 PM ----------

MMS working perfectly. Man I don't know what to say. Quadrant 5200.

Great great ROM.

---------- Post added at 04:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:34 PM ----------

I'm in love.Really. This is going to blow up all the existing ROMs. At least it did for me.

Where do I get some themes?

Thanks again.:good:

WOW I did not know this before I flashed. I did read the entire instructions. Now it is saying my EXT SD card can not be found.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pyrodex:
Hold the power button and an option will show to take a screen shot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] theraptscallion:
Probably because your card isn't formatted FAT32. Format the SD card FAT32 and you should have no more problems.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmacko:
FWIW, NFC does not appear to be working in this build. Contact widget works but puts a white box with a red border over the contact photo icon.

Besides those two issues, it appears to be a daily driver for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ka1z0ku:
Shouldn't have to go to stock this will overwrite almost everything anyway. Also another way to take a screenshot in CM10 or stock 4.0/4.1 is power + vol down.

Anyone having any problems with TB? I haven't flashed this yet... just wondering.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] snoshreddax21:
I don't have an explanation for you guys other than that's what worked for me. The other reason is that I don't want to have 20 different variables to ask about when someone makes a post about it not working for them. Considering this guide is meant to be for newer folks here, if everyone uses the same recovery it makes it that much easier for both me and others to diagnose problems since we know for a fact that 6.0.1.0 works. TWRP might also work, but I'm not going to provide any support for people who try it that way because I haven't done it myself.

I don't understand why you both are so genuinely offended by the fact that there are two guides on installing CM10 on the entirety of XDA. I've read incubus's guide (for those unaware, the thread can be found at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1788443) and I think it's excellent. But take a step back for a second and TRY to understand that there ARE users (A lot of them) on this site that are not currently at the comprehension level of yourselves. A simple guide saying "Root, Unlock, Flash." may not be enough for some people. All I was trying to do is lay out a complete step-by-step guide starting from square one for installing the newest version of Cyanogenmod, a guide that I thought would prove useful to a lot of newcomers here since it's such a popular ROM.

Excellent point. I'll update the OP.

My gallery isn't linking to my picasa/google account. It is only showing the pictures that are on my internal sdcard. Anyone else having this problem? Any idea on how to fix?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] je2345:
Volume down and power button
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wrippel82:
Just a couple of observations about the cm10 thus far. (8/16 build) Home button seems to be a little wonky when phone is in deep sleep (takes a few presses to wake it up) LTE toggle doesn't work, and i'm not sure if NFC is working correctly as upon installation, it was completely grayed with no option to check the box to enable. after reboot if can be checked, just not sure if it's actually functioning. Data seems much much improved from earlier builds and mms does work perfectly. I would say that this is more then stable enough to be a daily driver for those still on the fence.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] strung:
I can confirm that. It doesn't seem that Picasa albums shows up under Sync Settings for the Google account, either. And the settings menu in Gallery app is empty.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] snoshreddax21:
I can't speak for that as I don't use Picasa, hopefully we can get a fix in the next build.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jb_alphamale:
Same problem here with the gallery. No settings menu.Also in these two launchers apex and nova when you try to add an app from the app drawer to any screen you cannot pinpoint it.it goes where it wants or in the next folder
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cell128:
I don't know if its a bug but my phone won't connect to my car Bluetooth for audio streaming on this ROM and I had some baaaad battery drain in a half an hour went from 100 to 89 with almost no activity. I think it was due to data drop I had to switch in n out of airplane mode. Just reverted back to stock. Hopefully someone can port over that leaked build of jellybean to us
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zakth:
Installed last night using TWRP, no problems at all. It's perfect :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] snoshreddax21:
That's totally normal. Your battery will drop to about 90 percent or so every time even if you're not using your phone a lot because of the way it reports the level. That will happen in any ROM. But today, pay attention to how fast it drops from 90 to 0, cause that's the part you should be MUCH more worried about :)

That's great. Glad it worked for you man :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tonytownsend:
Is it suppose to say cm9 on boot up?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PJnc284:
yeah, there isn't a CM10 boot screen yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tonytownsend:
How is battery life on this ROM treating everyone synergy was killing me reminded me of my gnex. I just flashed cm 10 also is there anyway to get the touchwiz phone app?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] snoshreddax21:
I can't speak for the battery life yet as I've only been using it since last night, but I would imagine it's fantastic as it's an AOSP ROM without a ton of crap in it. Unfortunately you can't get any touchwiz apps back because they require all the touchwiz framework which isn't included in AOSP ROMs.

EDIT: Just for the record, I've been off the charger for about 6 hours so far today and I'm at 89 percent. So I think it's safe to say you won't have any problems :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tyrnight:
Thank GOD for that! Touchwiz sounds like a dirty porn..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] daavy:

after looking at the OP and reading through this thread... i didnt see any kernel changes... so am i to assume this works just fine with the TW stock kernel or is there one we need to install from somewhere else?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tonytownsend:
Anyone else notice Facebook contact sync isn't available?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PJnc284:
Because it's not a native feature of android. The manufacturer ui's usually tie that in but there are apps in the play store that do it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] snoshreddax21:
Doesn't the official Facebook app have that feature already embedded? Try digging around in the settings and see if you can find anything. Or you may try going into Accounts/Sync and in your facebook account see if there's a check to sync contacts or something like that. Just some ideas.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tonytownsend:
Nevermind logout log back in. Then go to sync settings and check sync contacts. Also why has my phone been warm to touch ever since I rooted its very weird and battery life is dropping every 2 minutes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] snoshreddax21:
If it's both warm and you're having poor battery performance, I would say you've either tried some ROMs with bad power management and resource allocation or you have a bad battery. Let me know how this ROM affects your performance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PJnc284:
The contact sync option seems to disappear from the facebook app anytime I flash an aosp/cm rom. Haven't tried logging out and then back in like tony mentioned though.

How importatnt is it that your SD cad be in Fat32? Reading through the comments I only see mention to do it if you have a 64 gig SD card. I have a 16G. Do I still need to format it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] snoshreddax21:
Very important. If it's not FAT32 you'll have problems both in recovery and in the ROM. If your 16 gig card is already formatted to FAT32 you shouldn't have any problems.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PJnc284:
yeah, 16 should be fine. The issue is with the 64s which the phone and windows format as exFAT. CWM won't recognize it as external storage and any aosp/cm rom is going to corrupt it on boot and give you a card damaged message. I ran into that problem a couple times before I decided to search and figure out what was up. Luckily I was able to stick it in the card reader on my PC the first time, run chkdsk and recovered the files in which I promptly made a backup copy. Next time I tried CM10, the sdcard was completely #%(#%(& and the PC wouldn't even see it and a TouchWiz rom was the only thing that could reformat it. Then I figured out it needed to be FAT32 and haven't had a problem since.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cdd543:
This seems to be running quite well for me. Tested A2DP and bluetooth calling in my Jeep today and it works great.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Arekku:
So I should be fine on a 16 gig SD card without reformatting it? In FX file explorer it says it is in vfat file system type. Is that okay?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] snoshreddax21:
If I were you and I didn't want any problems, I'd copy all your files to your desktop or something, format to FAT32 within Windows, and then copy everything back. I've never even heard of vfat before.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] snoshreddax21:
My guess is you forgot to wipe something. Boot into recovery, wipe system/data/both caches and reflash.

Just prepping everything before I flash.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] snoshreddax21:
This is one of the very few non-kexec custom ROMs that even exist right now, be patient. I expect the development scene to explode within the coming weeks now that we have an unlocked bootloader. As far as updates go, everyone should keep checking get.cm starting later tonight, and I'll try to keep this thread updated as they make progress.

TO EVERYONE THAT IS NEW HERE, PLEASE DO NOT BUG DEVELOPERS WITH STUPID QUESTIONS REGARDING RELEASE DATES OR PROGRESS. I can assure you that they're working hard, we got a full release the day after our bootloader got unlocked. So be patient, nightlies and beta versions of CM and AOKP will come soon enough.

Sorry coderedpl, that above rant was not directed towards you :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Coderedpl:
Oh I'm patient, no issue with that. Just wanted to check that I'm not magically missing a thread with the progress or something. Will keep my eyes open tonight ;)
