Is anybody else having issues flashing gapps? I have tried flashing the latest and previous ones multiple times, and the only thing I get is the Play Store and Now. No Gmail, maps, or any other ones. Is anybody else having this issue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sdube3:
I didn't get gmail or maps. I've never gotten maps before, but not getting gmail is unusual for me too. I just downloaded from the market.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] somerandomguy1:
I found this to be the case in the latest gapps (no Gmail, didn't check the rest). I flash the 7/26 gapps and then the latest one...but that's probably a roundabout way to solve the problem :)

Ho guys my phone is on its way. Can I just install root/recovery and flash away. I'll be on ICS out the box. I've read some say flash a certain modem or flash a specific OTA?

Can I just unlock boot loader flash a recovery image and come straight here? Thanks community I'm really looking forward to coming here with you guys. I absolutely love this rom. I've been running it on my galaxy nexus and N7.

This was the very first ROM I flashed on my gs3 and I wandered off to try others saw the new update and came back. I'm glad I did this rom running great so far. I have NFL mobile working mega bass beats loaded GPS is almost instant. Camera mod to save to SD loaded all is good in paranoid land. For those that have not use mega bass beats its actual beats audio tech not just a DSP manager with tweaks. It is sooooo fantastic. Try it.

Oh also have pimp my ROM loaded for battery tweaks and camera and video tweaks too. I'll post some links for you all.

I've been noticing that if I'm in an app and press the back soft key a few times to go back to the home screen there is some flickering as the app closes.

Is anyone else having this issue??

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mb02:
I notice a lot of flickering and artifacting throughout the ROM now that was not in last version. Many times its instances of hitting back rapidly, but other instances its simply hitting recents button or appears in repetitive animations in the ROM (sync icon in accounts and others).

Hopefully a patch or quick update fixing this is put out soon.

I'm using latest KT747 kernel BTW.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fastpakr:
I'm noticing a lot of flickering while just sitting at the home screen. Don't have any basis for comparison though, as I just unboxed the S3 a couple of hours ago. Running the latest version, pa_d2vzw-2.50-22OCT2012-211214. For what it's worth, I didn't notice the flickering until after installing the faux kernel but I may have just missed it before.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] iSecks:
I have been able to fix my screen flickering by disabling hardware overlays. You can do that under settings, developer options.

Screen not working

I just flashed the latest build (2.5). I did a full wipe and everything. I was getting it all set up and then I flashed the VRLHE modem and Lean Kernel. Once I flashed those I rebooted and the screen was blank. I tried rebooting several times, blank screen every time. Anyone else have any problems? Is the VRLHE modem not compatible? Or is it lean kernel?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ekklesiaillusion:
Weird. PA 2.5 with LeanKernal 1.6 and VRLHE Modem works fine for me other than screen flicker which is easily fixed

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dag1337:
Ahh.. I accidentally flashed an older LeanKernel. Need to clean up my sdcard. Well now I feel stupid. I'll flash it later. Does the VRLHE modem work any better than the others? Haven't used that one yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Matt1024:
I don't know if it's just me but YouTube won't play videos correctly. It's like the screen gets scrambled with the comments or related videos underneath or the status bar will be across it in several places. Tried clearing data for YouTube and going to the site from chrome and it still does it. Any ideas? Other than that I love this rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] doratheconquistadora:
Running 2.18 and suddenly I'm having a few problems.

Screen flicker and occassional graphical glitches, which I never had before

Data dropping and poorer signal

Navigation says "Your destination is on your left" for every single direction

And my sd card is "damaged" right after doing a full app/data backup with Titanium Backup. (This one is probably unrelated to the ROM, same with the Navigation issue)

Anyways, gonna flash 2.50 and LK 1.6 tonight and hopefully that'll fix stuff. The sd card I'll recover. That's the second time it's crashed on me. Just bought myself a 32GB Sandisk for $20. I think it's the age of my current card that's causing instability. :|
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] notta:
For the screen flickering, if you are on the kernel supplied with the ROM, can someone provide steps to replicate? I have had no screen flashing like it used to do but I have noticed some screen tearing/artifacting in some of the faster animations. The screen flashes were always replicable for me before.

I also have a new 2.51 build that I will most likely post tomorrow! This update the kernel to 3.0.48 and from what I can see has no screen tear and adds docking options but I have no accessories for my phone... :o

I also have an RMA for my new monitor and will be without for close to two weeks. So I am trying to time out the updates here!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] CKyl22:
I'm on the 2.50 build and it's beautiful but on some apps like Messaging, there is this thin white line between the notification bar and the app itself in phablet mode as you're describing, about 1px wide and across the screen that flickers on and off slowly.

EDIT: Seems like the normal flicker fix fixed it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] doratheconquistadora:
Looks like I'm gonna wait just a little longer to update then.

Been looking forward to docking options :D That's the only accessory I have for this phone too. The screen flashing was just recent for me and only happened in the stock browser. Have switched to Chrome and everything's been fine.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] unboostedzc:
haven't had any screen flickering for a while, but the black screens of death seem to have reappeared in 2.50.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shangrila500:
I also had quite a lot of screen flickering when I flashed, and I remembered that that didn't happen to be when I was on 2.18. I finally found a setting that fixed it for me. It settings, under performance, go to the governor setting. I changed mine to ondemand and that fixed all of the problems I was having screen wise, and a few other odd things.

Hopefully this will help someone

Please do not report bugs if your using anything but the stock kernel!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fastpakr:
I'm experiencing very loud call volume. Running 2.5 with the stock kernel. Does not appear to respond to adjustment during the call (the slider moves up and down, but it bottoms out at around 20% and there's no apparent difference in actual volume). Tried a suggestion from earlier in the thread about maxing it out then lowering, but didn't help. Any suggestions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sdube3:
Gotta say 2.5 on a clean wipe (wipe data and format system first, flash newest jb gapps, flash VRLHE modem, skip setup, and restore select non-google apps via TiBu) is running awesome. I'm getting much more solid battery life than 2.23 and the phone overall is running very well. Disable HW overlays in developer options fixes the screen flicker and artifacting. Thanks again Notta.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
This is cayanogen bug not the rom...all aosp roms we currently have use cyanogens base for the hardware. Its part of the issues you run into when things have to be hacked to work...ie meaning we have no true jellybean source from samsung to work with.

Yes I know I can disable hw overlays to stop the flicker on 2.5 but 2.21 has no problems for me so I feel no need to update.

I have 2 questions. I am on 2.21 with lean kernel 1.4. My battery does not like one of these two.

I am going to flash 2.5.

1. When I flash 2.5 will that reset my kernel or do I need to get the original kernel from somewhere? (If I do could you show me where it is thank you)

2. I keep seeing people are using VRLHE modem but I do not see where to get this, if you could point me in the right direction that would be great.

Thanks again
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] snael:
1) flashing 2.5 will reset your kernel. Any time you flash a ROM it will install its own kernel.

2) I have been getting my modems here, this has all the modems for sg3 Verizon. http://rootzwiki.com/index.php?/topic/34053-

Also flashing modems is completely separate from everything else and will remain through ROM flashes and such.;)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sdube3:
I had poor battery life on 2.21. I flashed 2.5 and the vrlhe modem yesterday and have had great battery life and performance. Flashing 2.5 will reset your kernel to the included cm kernel. Take a look at my post a few posts ago and follow my installation process and you should have no problems.

Modems are here: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/34053-of...zon-sgs3-sch-i535-odin-or-recovery-flashable/

I have updated the OP to 2.51! Again this updates the kernel to 3.0.48, adds docking options and fixes in call volume adjustment. PA adds new per-app-color system that covers navbar, navbar buttons, glow and the status bar.

I just bought my phone and unlocked rooted and hopefully ready once again to flash this rom. Do I need to be on a updated radio? Can I just install the latest CWM from rom manager and flash away? Thanks community I just recovered from a soft brick so really paranoid to flash paranoid! I checked out the list of current radios but was curious if anyone knew what the current radio is called?

Edit. One more question before I try. When I flashed CWM yesterday it asked something about confirming with a yes or no if I wanted to over right my current recovery or something close to that. Wasn't sure if I should have chosen yes or no. Sorry I know this is confusing because I'm not clear but maybe someone is also new and came here from stock on the latest CWM and seen this being asked I am CWM? Thanks guys once again

so did you click yes or no on that cwm i had the same thing pop up but don't remember back on stock and want to again
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mike216:
DONT FLASH ANYTHING IF YOU SEE THAT!

After recovering my brick I now tried everything again. Root recovery and unlocked bootloader. I didn't see it this time and recovery stuck. I bought the phone from my buddy and he rooted and unlocked the bootloader? So he says. When I bought it I immediately received an OTA so I went with it. I read many here saying to go back to stock to receive the OTA to fix some sort of issue. I thought I would save time by just going with the OTA and rooting again. I don't know if the OTA locked my bootloader back again? This time after starting all over I unlocked the bootloader myself. Recovery stuck on stock and there was no question asking me if I wanted to keep or over right something, sorry forgot.

The lesson learned is if recovery isn't sticking your bootloader is locked. I will be more then happy to help anyone go through what I just went through. Been up more then 40 hours because after I fixed my phone I had to go to work feeling like crap! This was OK because I was sooooooo happy to have my 8 hours old phone working again

I have flashed almost every version of PA. After flashing last nights version and on first boot I got the Activation screen, i have never got this before with any other version. Its no big deal and it eventually fails and allows me to skip. I still have network, 4g or 3g one but I don't know which and at the top of my screen where my signal bar is, it's just an empty triangle with an R on top of it like i'm in roaming. Is there any way to make that go away and get my signal bar back?

Do a sim reset on a tw rom..preferably beans 14...i tried on clean 3.0 and didnt work so....

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] somerandomguy1:
I got this activation screen about 75% of the time if I flash PA and then Gapps without rebooting in between. If I flash PA, let it boot to the homescreen, reboot into recovery and then flash Gapps, I've never gotten the activation screen.

Just FYI if anyone else runs into this :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Dcox28:
well it let my skip it and i have data. My emails are working fine and coming through. However I can not send SMS messages. i keep getting an error saying Message Not sent.

any suggestions?

thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shangrila500:
I had this exact same problem, down to the SMS showing as not sent and everything. They were actually sending apparently but they weren't shown as sent on my end. I was also getting the activation screen every reboot, mine never failed though. I went completely back to stick via Odin, after I went back to my TW backup it was glitchy as hell and every other ROM I flashed was too. Once I redid my rooting and unlocking I flashed PA and rebooted and let it settle for 30 mins and then flashed gapps. The only thing I did different in flashing it he first time was I flashed PA and the gapps in one session. Whether or not this will fix your problem I don't know, that was just my experience.

Well this did all start this morning because i saw a new version of MIUI that was released so I thought I would flash it and see what MIUI is all about.

On first boot I got this activation screen and can't send sms but can get emails. I am flashing beans 14 tw rom now to try the SIM reset.

Damn you notta i just flashed 2.5 last night lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] notta:
That's why I mentioned awhile back that my preferred flashing method was the ROM, let it boot then flash gapps. Also for a reference if this happens typically you can just reboot the phone or if it's being really picky a simple power down for a minute works wonders!

I came directly from my own personal modified stock build to an AOSP build then CM and finally PA! I have been running PA since and clean flash every update. As said a reboot or power down has always worked for me and I have never need to go back to stock yet thankfully.. :D

Although TW wasn't too bad on this phone, I just felt violated by the root tracking stuff! Had to go...

It seems to be hard coded to about 75% transparency so it's not just you.

As a general update I have my RMA for the monitor but no printer to print the labels.. :laugh: Most likely sending it back on Monday or so. If something happens before hand I will get updated builds...
