I see.

Well, I could totally recommend updating...

It's stable overall.

The glitch is there but I personally don't think they're a big deal at all.

I use it as my daily driver and I haven't really been bothered by it at all.

I only found a couple of small bugs, not so important.

I'm loving it.

You could make a backup of your current ROM and try the update for a few days, if you don't like it you can go back.

My advice, if you decide to upgrade, is to check the last few pages of this thread if you experience any difficulties, but I doubt you should have them at all.

So yeah, definitely try it.

Is it OK to doa mega wipe before instaling 3.97?? :confused:

I followed your instructions to a tee and upgraded to 3.97 but the problem still persists

1) First Call I made had no sound on either side

2) Second call I made had sound on both sides but had "static sounds" on my side

3) Third call sounds fine

So ... it wasn't consistent. Anyone else have this problem?

Mega wipe before 3.97??

Is it OK to do a mega wipe before instaling 3.97?? :confused:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchpunk:
Mega wipes are so unnecessary

At least on my opinion, seriously.

I've never performed a "mega wipe" or any other kind of wipe other than the regular one as always and I've never experienced any issues with any fresh install.

When I do it's cause I did something wrong but I know what I did and I can solve it.

So my answer is no. You don't need a mega wipe.

Just read some of my past answers on the last pages and proceed with the steps I've provided.

That's all you need.

Make a nandroid backup before.

Hi, I would like to ask if the new HW composer in PA 2.13.2 (for the Galaxy S3 of course) freezes video in full screen like the previous versions of PA. The reason is because I have no idea which HW composer to apply(as in the HW composers in the download links area). :confused:

Hi everyone, today i was installing the Paranoid Android last version, and all it's okay but when i do the first run the animation of the ROM stays like 15 min.

I have Samsung galaxy S3 Spanish version, what i do wrong?

Is there any solution? To fix this or to put the original rom version?

Thanks a lot.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gokussjx:
If the Spanish version is I9300 (same as International), then you're in safe zone.

Walk us through what you did, every step.

But before that, try this:

-> Wipe Data/Dalvik

-> Format System (CWM/Mounts & Storage)

-> Flash ROM

-> Flash GApps

-> Fix Permissions

-> Reboot

See if it works. And this all, considering you've not tried the JB leaks.

If you have, its gonna be a long route for you.. (Check the ROM thread OP on WiFi issues)

Assuming you've rooted your phone, & installed CWM Recovery:

To access Recovery:

Hold POWER + VOLUME UP + HOME buttons together, until the phone goes dark & then displays 'Samsung Galaxy SIII' splash screen.

Release the 3 button combo only after you see the screen.

You'll be taken directly to CWM Recovery.

I suggest you also read some basic guides on Android as well as Galaxy S3. Be very sure of what you're doing & about to do. You wouldn't want something to go wrong, would you? :)

I'm kind of new to android so this might sound stupid but ever since I flashed PA I've noticed that after a while, when I wake up my phone, that the wifi/signal bars are greyed out then take a few seconds to go blue. I checked in BetterBatteryStats under "Other" and it shows that the phone had no data or an unknown signal for a long time. Is it actually turning off the radios or does my phone still have data during these periods? I'm on 2.13.2 with no other modifications and I came from CM9.

How to add my own ringtones ?

In cm10 I used to put my ringtones in sdcard0/media/ringtones

And same for the notifications and alarms.

With paranoid, I don't find them in the list!

Could someone tell me where it's supposed to be?

That was me :) and its Paranoid Preferences thats FCing, not the youtube app.

Still happening =/. The app itself is working fine.. I just cant change its DPI from Paranoid Prefs..

Its not FCing when I select any other App.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gokussjx:
Oh lol! You just made my day :laugh:

Tell me, what happens when you try to Kill the app Task Manager, using the Task Manager?

Port that concept to this context.

You're trying to change the DPI of the app, that changes the DPI! The apps need to be restarted before it can be applied. So what happens to Paprefs when it tries to kill & restart itself? It gets into conflict.

The DPI/Layout do get applied though (if valid values), but ofc you'll get an FC.

Let me know if it doesn't FC... THEN its an issue ;)

Please use low resolution, scaled down images when posting in boards. And use HIDE tags, when posting so many of 'em.

The Grey/Blue change is normal.

Any data connectivity, be it WiFi/Data/Blutooth, go grey when they're connected but not in use; & blue when they're connected & there's a process using it.

Call it hibernation if you want, its a way to save battery when no connection process is on.

One other question: where can I get the kernel that comes with PA 2.13.2 as a flashable file? Is there a link or is there any way I can extract it and create a CWM .zip? (I searched for this and came across several methods, which confused me)

Bluetooth headset

Hello :),

first I have to say, that the ROM is really smooth and nearly everything works perfect.

One big issue, for me, is a problem with the bluetooth headset: I have a bluetooth headset from parrot, which ever works on other ROMs.

With this ROM, I recognized the issue, if I call someone or someone call me, an acoustic noise above the voice from the caller is given. So it is impossible, to phone per this bluetooth headset.

The connection and everything else with the headset works fine, also the synchronisation with the phone book.

Does someone know about this issue and does someone know, how to fix it?

Because I really love this ROM and it has everything I want, so I don't want to change to an other ROM and I don't want to give up so much goodies only to solve this issue.

Greetings,

Navbar is linked with Statusbar, & can be made smaller or bigger using Paranoid Settings -> Interface -> Statusbar size

For full screen while using Navbar, use the Expanded Desktop option, from Power Menu.

Hold Power, select Expanded Desktop. Both the Navbar & Statusbar would hide. When you need them back, just repeat the process. ;)

Can I install Paranoid Android using TWRP, instead of CWM?

It seems to have the same functions, but since the thread does not mention TWRP - I'm not sure...

Also, if I do need to have CWM instead of TWRP to install Paranoid Android - can I just use ROM Manager (from the PlayStore) and use it to install CWM, since, it does have options to install ClockWork Recovery, and even ClockWork Recovery Touch!

Final question: My Galaxy SGS3 is on 4.0.4 - if I do flash the Paranoid Android ROM - does that update the firmware to 4.1.2, or at least CyanogenMod's equivalent?

So, is it necessary to first update my SGS3 to 4.1.2, then flash the ROM?

Thanks for your help!

To be honest, I was about to post another thread before I luckily stumbled upon this!

Thanks again!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gokussjx:
Recovery has nothing to do with what you flash, as long as it can allow flashing a zip.

Use TWRP, CWM, CWM Touch, or any custom Recovery, all you need to do is flash from zip, choose the ROM/Mod/Kernel, & it should do the rest.

And yes, ROM Manager would work.

This is all that you need to do: (as already listed in the OP)

Wipe Data/Factory Reset

Wipe Dalvik cache

Format /system

Flash ROM

Flash GApps

Flash Kernel/mods

Reboot

That's it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Striatum_bdr:
Buddy, if you flash a 4.1.2 ROM you'll have a 4.1.2 android system... whatever you had before. So yes you'll have 4.1.2.

If you flash a ROM you erase your previous system right? Why would you update it to erase after.

If you install Win8 on your WinXP computer you'll have Win8. No need to install Win7 first. A ROM is a full and complete operating system, you don't upgrade the phone itself, you upgrade the OS.

Follow the above instruction, don't change your recovery and jump !

Allrigh, this case is more random than a unicorn puking a rainbow at dawn at the north pole without any current rain.

I had PA 3.65 running yesterday and went into TWRP 2.6.0.0 and just flashed the new 3.97 without wiping anything. I also flashed the latest gapps.

It installed without any issues, it was all succesfull.

I booted into 3.97 just fine.

This morning on my way to work i wanted to reboot it, because i had some sporadic flickering after the flash. (the browser's tabed menu went black for a second or so, and then it came back)

The thing is - the phone gets stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy SIII" screen.

I am able to get to recovery and browse the internal SD card. Everything in recovery seems fine.

I just wiped the system partition and reflashed 3.97 and gapps - its still stuck on the S3 boot screen.

I have tried to boot with and without a SD card.

To my surprise i took a look at the phone after a couple of minutes, and then i saw the PA booting screen!

What is going on!! Now everything is OK?!

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchpunk:
Do you currently have a custom kernel? I noticed that I only started having tiny mic issues when I flashed a custom kernel.

Maybe you could try going back to stock kernel and see if your mic works better.

If you have 3.65 nandroid, the easiest way to go back without screwing over would be simply restoring it (:

maybe wipe data/factory reset before restoring it.

In case you don't have a 3.65 nandroid. Just do this:

- Get 3.65 zip in your sdcard, gapps for 4.2 zip as well.

- Make sure your recovery is updated and reboot into recovery

- wipe data/factory reset

- flash 3.65 zip

- flash 4.2 gapps

- wipe cache

- wipe dalvik cache

And you should be good.
