Bottom of his post there's a PA 2.14 changelog along with a cm10 changelog
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] notta:
It's also at the bottom of the OP! I personally do not want to write all that down, if you would like to that would be great! :D

Before I flash this rom again, I am looking to back up my IMEI. I know people keep saying its in a sticky. I have looked and somehow am missing where it is. Could someone point it out too me.

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Clienterror:
Lol no no! :D you win good sir
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Bluerai:
So on PA's page, it says that backup/restore is fixed now.. Any idea on when it would be safe to use it?

I've been putting off updating just so I don't have to set up the sizes of everything again hah

I'll prob get to it tomorrow regardless

Is there a way to attach a file when using Gmail in tablet mode? When creating a new email I don't see a way to do it. It is not in the menu either.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HiWhatsUpNothin:
That's not true.. I use swiftkey and have hw overlays disabled...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PureLife90:
I need some help here... I want to get a custom kernel but I'm absolutely clueless as so which one to use.... I'm running the latest 2.14 and running great... just want to add more to this.

Also how is there a way I can change my camera shutter button to another key like my volume key? Or is there a mod available that I'm missing?

I know in synergey he has the camera mod on his rom so I wasn't sure if it was possible for paranoid or not.

Thank you in advance!

Will this rom allow you to go back to the old style of contact display for favorites? I really hate the tiled contact mode for starred in android.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sdube3:
Change the pixel size in paranoid settings for the gmail app. Its there, you just can't see it because its "off the screen." If you turn your phone sideways you'll see it too
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thrgk:
how can i change the settings, so in settings, it doesnt take up half the screen, i want it to take up the whole screen, same for gmail please.

Apex released an updated launcher today (1.3.0) which force closes on PA 2.13. I hate Trebuchet so always use Apex and the older version ( 1.2.5) has no issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] d1ez3:
yeah seems to be broken on all phones with this update, look at the ratings. I hope they add a quick fix, I had to reset my home screens after I updated using nova
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] inkdaddy66:
Any issues using nova?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Dcox28:
So I'm still having the echo with the 2.14 build and it is very disappointing so what I did was went to Settings and did a Factory Data Reset and then after reboot tested it again and the echo is still there. I then said screw it and Odin'd back to TW stock. I am now on TW stock and tested the echo again and now have NO echo at all when using speaker. Meaning the person i'm talking to does not hear any echo when I have them on speaker and they talk. I really don't want to stay on stock TW but am not sure what I should do now. I know most are saying the echo problem doesn't exist for them in PA 2.14.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xXJay_RXx:
I love this ROM. I wish there was one based off of AOKP but beggers can't be choosers. I always find myself coming back to this ROM. Thanks a lot Notta:)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] inkdaddy66:
I flashed AOKP. It only lasted a day. I came crawling back and I'm proud of it :D

I'm at work and don't really have the opportunity at hand to do a backsearch for answers. I can't get the latest build to download for me. I'm using the regular browser. Status gets to 99% then fails

Can I just do a dirty flash or is it still recommended to do a full wipe
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] theactualchrisbrown:
I dirty flashed from 2.13 this morning and it seems to be working just fine. (Also running the latest KT747 kernel, FWIW.)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Dcox28:
I don't see how me and a couple others can be the only ones complaining of the people we call on speaker hearing themselves echo when they talk. I Odin'd back to Stock TW and no longer have the echo problem. I then made a nandroid of that Stock TW and then flashed PA 2.14 and tested the echo with speaker phone and it is back again. Is everyone else really not having this issue when they talk to someone on speaker phone?

Edit......I just restored my Stock TW Nandroid and the echo is gone again. This has to be something with CM10/ParanoidAndroid
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] elreydenj:
You already know that I am. Definitely frustrated. I hope more users will test this thoroughly and chime in. Also, if they test and do not experience the other person hearing an echo of themselves while on a speakerphone call, then please share what radio and kernel they were using before flashing Paranoid Android, and what their current radio and kernel setup is. Thank you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] notta:
Paranoid settings/Apps/APP_NAME

DPI to 320 and layout to 360px and a reboot might be needed for the settings app to stick.

This was the first and most extensive thing I tested. I tested the top mic, the bottom mic, screen facing up, facing down, on a soft surface and on a hard surface on both a landline and cell! Nothing! :o

Seems like someone will come up with something... :fingers-crossed:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] elreydenj:
Could you share what radio you are on and what rom you first flashed Paranoid android from?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] notta:
Yeah sorry! I was on a modified stock build with LF2, as soon as the bootloader was leaked I built PA from source and haven't looked back! Still on LF2 as well!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] elreydenj:
This was pulled from a post on the cm10 thread. it makes a lot of sense. There must be a way around this. Here it is.

Speakerphone worked well, but I noticed that the microphone on the top of the phone (near the headphone jack) was being used rather than the correct one on the bottom (near the usb port). Although I didn't experience echo, this may be contributing to the echo others have experienced (the top microphone is much closer to the speaker than the bottom microphone.

When you say modified stock do you mean root 66, or a touchwiz rom, or just stock rooted? I may try to upgrade to Paranoid Android from lf2 radio instead of the newest radio. Can anyone else share what radio they were on when they went to Paranoid Android?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rainabba:
On 2.12 people were constantly reporting echo on their end and I pretty much couldn't use the phone. On 2.13, that seems to have been resolved though I can only speak for ear-piece usage.

As of 2.13, I have been having Bluetooth (BT A2DP) issues where some apps (like Google Play Music) work fine and others are silent (though BT is connected and volumes are correct). Haven't tried with 2.14 yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] elreydenj:
I have never had an issue with ear piece usage. No echo whatsoever unless on speakerphone. Also, the echo is not on my end, it is heard by the other person and it is an echo of their voice. At times it is barely noticeable and at times it is horrible. Do you mind testing the speakerphone without bluetooth and see if the other person hears an echo of themselves? Anyone else have any updates?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Dcox28:
I sent Ktoonz a PM with your posts that you found copied and pasted to him and let him know i have the speaker phone echo issue. He said this could be fixed in a ROM or kernel since they both have access to either mic. However he said he could probably not fix it as he doesn't have the problem with his phone. Seems like we are in the minority here and i'm worried this may never be fixed for us.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] elreydenj:
I believe Droidlife has experience with this, and seems very knowledgable. Maybe he can help.

Compared to other ROMs is this good one for battery life? Was on solid ice 2 ICS before. And trued jelly wiz

I haven't read about a bug like that in a long time. I've never had that issue. Something's messed up on your end.

Does it take a while for 4G to kick in? I've been stuck on 3G since flashing. Flashed the latest rom after factory wiping.

Sweet, lol. Everything else other than that is ok. Think it'd be worth updating to the latest build??

Latest build is working flawless..... No screen of death, no flickering, gps works, data is absolutely flawless, nfc is working as far as I know because I'm able to activate it... As far as I know I don't use it cause I guess I really don't understand what it is for or what it does for my phone. I would recommend everybody update to the latest version and see for yourself that everything is working.... Most importantlyno ECHO
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Dcox28:
Consider yourself lucky if the people u call dont hear themselves echo when they talk and u have them on speaker phone. A few of us in this thread have reported it and several in the CM10 thread have reported it. I am back on stock TW and no echo with it. Any CM10 based rom has speaker phone echo problem on my phone
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eddie33081:
Mine seems to be fine on 2.13. Did a full wipe then flashed the rom. Rebooted and flashed lean kernel. Might want to give it a try.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hockeyplayr:
is anyone using this with ktoonz kernal? I flashed the rom, formula 84 gapps, and ktoonz in one recovery session and I keep getting random hotboots. I'm unsure if it is the kernal or the gapps causing this. Anyone using ktoonz without any problems?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PureLife90:
That's weird because I use my phone every night talking to my fiance and she doesn't ever hear an echo nor do I... I just don't understand how I'm one of the few that doesn't have any issues.... I don't have any echo at all.... Speaker phone or ear piece.... Nothing...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] theactualchrisbrown:
I'm using 2.14 with KT747 kernel and standard goo.im Gapps (7/26). I dirty flashed 2.14 and GApps over my previous 2.13+KT747 install, booted into 2.14 with the stock kernel to make sure everything worked to my liking, then went back to recovery and flashed the 9/23 KT747 kernel, and it's been running just fine all day.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fr8cture:
This is NOT true. I disable and use swiftkey.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mpetruzz:
Where'd ya grab that kernel from??

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] FrostyOrDie:
Its located at rootzwiki. I don't know how to post that link here for you or I would. I tried to use that kernel and right after flashing it I got FC's, reboots, and black screen of death. Went back to 213 and all is well again

It appears to be here on xda as well. In original android development. Thread started by ktoones

On both 2.13 and 2.14, everything is perfect except my Gmail app. It constantly fc's. I've tried clearing data, reinstalling, and factory reset multiple times.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rainabba:
As everyone with this issue has been told (and as you should do anyway before reporting an error, ever), go read and re-read the OP post (post number 1 in the thread). That issue is specifically addressed.

HINT: Paranoid resolution tweak for gmail app
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] elreydenj:
Any updates on a fix for the echo? Can controls for the mic gain or speakers be built into the apps for those who are experiencing the echo?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Dcox28:
Guys over on the Official CM10 thread said that on the 8-18 build it was perfect with no speaker or echo problem but since then it has been broken. I do remember a PA version where I had no echo so I PM'd Notta asking him if he could make the 8-18 build of PA available to me so I could flash it and see.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mpetruzz:
I have a question on what's the best way to flash 2.14 coming from 2.13. Paranoid is the first AOSP ROM i've flashed and don't wanna screw anything up.

Normally I will restore my original, clean stock backup and then flash a ROM. Along with full wipe, etc.

I wasn't sure if I should still do that, wasn't sure if going back to a stock backup after flashing Paranoid would cause any issues.

Or should I just do a wipe while still on 2.13 and then flash 2.14?

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PureLife90:
I always just do a full wipe / format system then flash it. I don't see any reason that you would have to go back to stock just go flash it again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
wipe cache and dalvik then flash away...now if 2.14 was built on a new base, then ofcourse wipe data and dalvik cache. samsung devices are much more forgiving about dirty flashing than other devices such as htc.

*now if you run into any bugs try a data wipe before reporting the issue!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] elreydenj:
Sounds like a plan. If you can confirm no echo on 8/18 then maybe Notta can isolate the issue and fix this echo problem once and for all. please keep me updated.

Where can I find the kernel that is included in Paranoid android to flash in cwm? If I change kernels and want to go back?

---------- Post added at 09:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:04 AM ----------

Could someone please point me in the direction of the flashable zip file for the kernel included in Paranoid android? Thank you!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] stg13:
Just upated to the latest version - I am having some screen flickering only on the home screen tho...anyway to fix? And of course, I apologize if it has been addressed...I didn't see anything in the last few pages (something midway thru but it seemed to be related to YouTube...I have tried different launchers and that didn't matter. I have not flashed any other kernel or adjusted my voltage settings (all are stock from the ROM flash)...thanks in advance for any feedback or assistance!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Dcox28:
You can't i don't believe. But if you want to change kernels and then decide to go back, just dirty flash PA (wipe dalvik and cache) then the ROM will be back with the PA kernel and you won't lose any of your data or settings.

---------- Post added at 08:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:28 AM ----------

I think this answer is in the OP but you have to check Disable HW Overlay in developer options i believe.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] stg13:
Thank you...I admittedly didn't look there *facepalm*...:good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] B-Nice_88:
I love this Rom, but I'm experiencing some issues with it freezing and then I can't turn the screen on or off until someone sends a text or call...85% of the time I have to pull the battery. Also, could someone tell me what is NFC fix for?...I don't know what it stands for nor its usage? Besides that, best AOSP Rom out!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] j0hnnyn:
What does hw overlays actually do? I disabled my hw overlays and I was still able to switch between keyboards (including swiftkey and Swype)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Dcox28:
NFC is Near Field Communication. It allows you to send files or data between phones simply by touching them together and pressing a button. You really don't even have to touch them they just have to be near. It is also used for Google Wallet. I'm sure if you google NFC you will find any info you are looking for.

---------- Post added at 09:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:40 AM ----------

Disabling HW overlays has nothing to do with being able to switch back and forth between keyboards. Google Disable HW Overlays and you will find a wikipedia and several other sites with good info.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tomg09:
Benchmarking!!!

I did some benchmarks for the purposes of comparing PA with stock TW.

TW: I535VRALF2 (4.0.4)

PA: 20120915 Stable

See attached png for scores.

Red highlight means TW has a better score, green means PA won.

PS: I am skeptical of the Speed Test scores...I was on wifi with other devices connected and being used. So take them with a grain of salt.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kei6193:
I'm getting some crazy screen flickers on this build..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Dcox28:
Fortunately for me the months that I was on Paranoid Android I never had any freezing, in fact the only thing keeping it being PERFECT for me was the echo issue on speaker phone. I did have that issue a couple times though when I was on Official CM10. You might try wiping data/cache/dalvik and flashing the Rom and Gapps again. I always make sure I do a clean wipe when flashing roms even if it is going from PA 2.13 to 2.14 i still clean wipe. You may have already done this but if not maybe it will help.

Edit.........Also if you use Titanium Backup to restore apps, just make sure you only restore your apps and your apps data. Never use it to restore System Data, it borks up all kinds of things when you do that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mpetruzz:
I've been running the latest version for half the day with 0 issues!! Everything is working great!!!

Is there a way to change the system fonts? I used to use ROM toolbox with other Roms and wasn't sure if I can use that on this ROM.

sent from my blue police box flying through time!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Dcox28:
Yes this has been addressed a few posts up and is also in the OP. You need to go to settings, Developer Options and check mark Disable HW Overlays and it will fix your screen flicker.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] elreydenj:
Finally some dialogue about the mic and echo issue over on cm10 thread as you have seen. I hope it yields some results.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] d1ez3:
http://cm10log.appspot.com/?device=d2vzw

tomorrow's nightly looks like it has a ton of change commits, hopefully the OP can implement this build with PA soon

I found a graphical glitch where it will show your phone is almost dead and when you plug it in it doesn't show its charging but it is and when you reboot it goes back to normal. Something that should be fixed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bill12690:
Looks like dev host is having issues. I don't suppose anyone has re-upped this anywhere else?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] badbeats:
2.14, standard kernel, default launcher, no other changes.

I have had this error twice today. Someone calls me and the phone rings, the light goes off, but the screen is black and I cant answer the call. I have to pull the battery to reboot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] elrichmeister:
Yea I get the SOD too, but I also get it with aokp I think it may be a cm10 issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] azneon:
I found one cause for the SOD. If you turn the phone off while in an app, (like gmail) you will get the SOD when turning it back on. If you exit the app back to the launcher before turning it off, this will not happen. (I'm using Nova launcher)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] FrostyOrDie:
I shall try this and hope for the best.

Shh! I'm a little paranoid android...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Imatoasta:
No problem here in gmail with nova launcher.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] imveryemo:
don't know if it's been posted, but for anyone who's NFC just greys out when you click to turn it on, flash a TW 4.0.4 ROM, turn it on, then nandroid back to PA and it'll be back on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] X2guy:
Is there a way to use USB Mass Storage on this ROM?

I see postings for this everywhere for the I9300 but nowhere for I535. On that note, did I make a mistake buying the I535 and not the I9300? There is never any info on it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ddurandSGS3:
Ive seen this be suggested for a GPS fix, maybe itll help with NFC too.

For anyone that doenst have this or this doenst work, I am still running the build from 9/6 without any issues. It does everything I need, flawlessly (including NFC).

---------- Post added at 02:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:44 AM ----------

535 is the verizon version. (or are all US variants 535?)

anyways, the 9300 is the international, quadcore version.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] X2guy:
Right, but is there a way to get a standard USB Mass Storage on the verizon version? Only ever find this for the international version.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jay Evans:
Seemed to work just fine for me today. Plugged it in and drug a bunch of photos to my computer desktop.

yep, no problem
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Clienterror:
You need to flash an ics rom where NFC works, turn it on, then flash a cm10 build and it works. I have no idea why it does but it does. You can keep flashing other CM10 builds as long as you can have it on when flash something else.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] manatti:
Thank you all for posting this fix. Is there a way to make it stick after you select it.? Not sure if it is because I changed fonts but after a reboot, the hw disable check box is unchecked after I checked it and there is no save option. Still, rom works great for me otherwise.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] imveryemo:
doesn't stick. same thing with disabling the backlight for the settings/back keys, doesn't stick after restart.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] X2guy:
So what USB mode are you in? Did you just plug it in and it worked, you did nothing else ? I have a mac and I've only every tried it on that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] imveryemo:
works the same for me, but i'm also on a windows 7 PC, says connected as a media device on my S3 and pops up my internal and SD card for clicking and dragging in windows explorer.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] X2guy:
Ok so I connected to my buddies windows 7 and it came up in the left menu just as its shown in that screen shot but there was nothing at all in it. no sd or internal. So I installed the samsung driver. No Luck

Any ideas people? I really want to be able to use my phone like a flash drive just like I used to on my droid X. Looks bleak though
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] aznstormin:
Make sure you unlock the phone when you plug it in...it wouldn't show if the phone was locked out, but once I unlocked it, it would show up in Win7.
