[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] 5 Liter Fever:
Downloads from the stock browser goes to my external sd card in the downloads folder. There's also a downloads folder on my internal card.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
Back ups are stored in TWRP/BACKUPS
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] crab_colony:
So I did a system wipe and it looks like that's where I went wrong. The directions said to wipe everything but I guess I got carried away as it looks like it cleared everything off. The only thing under the sdcard folder is a TWRP folder. But when I press Install and then go into /sdcard/TWRP, there's nothing in there. Shouldn't the back up I created be in there?

Please tell me I didn't brick my phone my doing the system wipe.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
You didnt brick, you just need to put a rom on the card and flash. If boot fails, you will need to flash kernel through fastboot
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] crab_colony:
I don't have a BACKUPS folder under TWRP. Did the system wipe delete that too?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] crab_colony:
When I tried mounting my phone to my computer from TWRP, it shows up as a drive on my computer, but when I try to click on it, I get the following message:

The Disk in drive F is not formatted.

Do you want to format now?

Is it safe to go ahead and format and will that erase all that's left on my phone?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
card is corrupt, format as fat 32
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] crab_colony:
Great, I'll give that a shot when I get home. One last question, which parts should I mount to format? System, data, or cahce?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
you only need to select mount and then mount as storage, everything else can be wiped in recovery

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ECrispy:
There are a bunch of AOSP rom's for our phone, most of them share the same issues since it's the same code, with slight differences based on which commits they've added. I'm hoping we can list the common issues in one thread as a reference.

1. Data handoffs between 3g/4g - I believe this is now fixed in most of them after the RIL patches, right?

2. Call volume - This CM10 commit (http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#/c/24564/) should fix this. Not in most rom's yet

3. Bluetooth pairing, call connect, streaming - does this work fully in any AOSP rom?

4. Sleep of death

5. Wakelock caused after playing media (DirectTrack)

6. Camera issues, like save to sd. The JB mod camera hasn't been updated yet.

7. Misc battery life issues - are most of these due to #5?

8. Activation issues after a flash

9. Low video recording volume

10. Notification light problems

11. 160 char sms limit, MMS doesn't work

12. Problems waking up with home button

13. Screen redraw issues (these can be fixed by turning off hardware overlays, but that increases cpu consumption)

I think it would be very helpful if we could track which rom's had which fixes merged, since otherwise it's hard to tell without asking in each thread, doing a lot of searches, and trying out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
Slimbean:

-Wake lock issue still seams to be an issue, battery life is bad

-notification light not working when call/text/email etc come in. Will be patched on next release

-data seams stable enough (ril patch is active on most recent build)

-horrible battery life

-call volume will be patched on next release

-home button to wake up phone is hit or miss

-odd screen glitches every now and then (fully live withable)

-mms sending takes forever, needed several reboots to even get it to work

-if usb fast charge is available in your kernel, it has a toggle for it in the notification tray (awesome)

-did I mention the battery life is bad?

-soft key light options do not work

I'll report more as I find them. I like these threads, good call.

Great idea for a thread!

Add low video recording in all AOSP Roms. As far as I know this has not been fixed yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] alquimista:
Sticky?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] l0calh0rst:
- continuous WiFi connectivity issues (none of the AOSP roms worked reliable for me)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dswann:
I am using slimbean 2.5 and I am getting anywhere from 16 to 24 hours of battery life on a single charge (3-4 hours of screen) which is about normal for any AOSP/AOKP based rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Div033:
I actually made a similar list, but deals with comparing TW quirks to AOSP quirks:

Touchwiz VS. AOSP

Touchwiz:

- No Bluetooth and Aux input simultaneously

- Wallpaper Cropping forced to non-scrolling

- No way to disable auto volume reduction upon headset plug-in

- God awful front end interface design (this is more of an opinion)

- Google Music will randomly stop working, requires screen to be turned on for it to start playing the next track

AOSP:

- Volume Quirks (upon reboot, media volume will play quiet regardless of where the slider is, if maxxed you must turn it down and then up again similar to the call volume issue)

- Call Volume at Max every call (wasn't this fixed recently?)

- Wrongly uses noise reduction mic for recording (thus quieter)

- Inferior Camera (features mainly)

- Worse battery life

- Sometimes drops data

- Not as buttery as ICS for some reason (recents excluded)

- Will frequently kill background apps, making 2GB of ram somewhat pointless

- Bluetooth streaming issues (This doesn't personally affect me but I thought I'd throw it in anyway)

Basically, the one with the shorter list wins. So, I'm on TW for now but I yearn for the AOSP list of quirks to shrink.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ryphez:
I've been told this has been fixed, but I still experience it. Is there a workaround for this currently?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bobloblaw1:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ryphez:
This 1? http://tinyw.in/25QW
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Neverendingxsin:
Number 6 is not really a problem. It's all based on personal preference.

Number 1 was fixed. Sleep of death could be kernel and/or clock speed settings. Mms works fine. There is a fix somewhere for direct track. Battery issues? Umm mines been perfect. That could be contributed to people not knowing what's causing wake locks and not fixing it. Not sure how anybody is getting screen redraws I haven't disabled hardware overlay and mine is fine, using apex if that makes a difference.

Most if not all of those issues are non existent in liquid smooth.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bales3795:
Hope this is the right spot to post this question. I tried flashing 2 separate roms today (Slim Rom and Liquid Smooth) which I believe are both AOSP, but I could be wrong. On both occasions, it starts to boot and gets to the google account login screen and the screen on the phone just keeps flickering and goes black.

I am unlocked, obviously rooted, with CWM 6.0.1.1 and have flashed JB TW rom in the past with no problems but went back to TW ICS, which I am currently running now.

Anyone know or direct me to the right thread as to why the screen flickering happens after flashing these AOSP roms? I haven't tried CM10 yet because these other roms actually sound more stable than CM10 right now.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Neverendingxsin:
Disable hardware overlay in developer options
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bales3795:
That might work, but I cannot even get into the OS to disable anything. It is completely unusable when I flash any of these roms.

Would there be something out there that I could flash in CWM to disable this in the rom pre-boot?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Neverendingxsin:
Nothing that I know of sorry.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dingurt:
One of the main reasons I don't use any AOSP roms is because of the bluetooth sync issue. In two of my cars, it will sync for the first time, but any other time I get in the car it won't pair up. I have to manually connect it every single time.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DarthDerron:
I've used PA, CM10 and AOKP, but im on SlimBean for now. Use to use CM10 as DD but its been very buggy lately. Tried PA for a few weeks but hybrid mode is nothing special, and AOKP had bad battery life for me. SlimBean is ok, not the best but good enough to be a DD. Battery Life is decent. Never tried Baked rom yet but it looks interesting...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mbrich:
I don't really feel like I have a DD just yet. I'm still going thru the searching process for one. For a while, I was using Blazer, then I switched to a couple different JB leaks. I ran a couple different versions of Drew Garen's JB Roms: Milestones 2, 3 & 3.5. They weren't stable enough for me to use daily because of too many force closes and random re-boots. Then I switched to Graffixnyc's BlackJelly: Versions 0.6, 0.7 & 0.8.

I like the theming done in BlackJelly. But lately in V0.8, I've been getting random re-boots. I'm going to test drive Serinity next (probably flash it later today).

I'm really just hopping around sampling everyone elses theming until the official JB is released, then I will probably flock to the one I liked best with a stable ROM. By the way, I don't use any touchwiz, I prefer to use Nova Launcher.

I haven't tried any CM10 or AOKP yet. I'll probably do that when it moves away from nightlies (not that the JB leaks are more stable by any means).

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] enomi:
sorry, undervolting capabilities? Hwo can I do this? I have AOKP as well.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dntesinfrno:
Undervolting is just as it sounds, reducing the voltage supplied to the CPU. This however is a function of the kernel, KT747 and the associated Ktweaker app. This kernel is not included with AOKP and must be flashed manually, or atleast placed in the 'Install after ROM' folder if you update using the OTA. There are many discussions around the forums as to what settings work best when you overclock and undervolt, but this is really a personal preference thing. Are you looking for a fast a possible device consequences be damned, or are you looking to suck every ounce of battery you possibly can on a single charge? Most people are probably somewhere inbetween for day to day use but sometimes its interesting to see how far you can push the device one way or the other. I would certainly recommend you atleast take a look at what settings people are using to get an idea of where to start but ultimately this comes down to trial and error.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] enomi:
Alright I will look into it.

So the kernel you are using is kt747. that is compatible with the current AOKP?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dntesinfrno:
As long as you download the version that is compiled for AOSP (assuming jellybean if you are on a newer AOKP build) based roms, yes.
