Your method would definitely be easier. On several AOSP Rom threads people say that when you lose GPS lock ability or NFS to flash a TW rom, they usually say odin to stock, but having this issue recently, I just restored a nandroid of CleanRom, got a GPS lock, went into GPS essentials to do it, and check the sat's locked onto, then turned on NFC in settings, and then installed my AOSP rom, in my case liquid, and AOKP 4.2.1 varieties. It's worked just peachy for me and I just checked after a reflash of liquid, and indeed I still was able to get a really fast lock indoors even. I locked onto sever out of eleven here in the appalachian mountains. So, if the above method doesn't work, install a tw rom, get a lock, enable NFC, then install your favorite rom, just like you'd always do by wiping data and installing the appropriate zips.

Good luck in your endeavors.

And thanks to the dev's and the OP for bringing this awesome rom to us. I too have been using since the X. and have always loved AOKP and liquid two of my favorite AOSP type roms.

And if I haven't said it on this forum, happy new year fellers. Hope each and evey person has a stellar one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droid2drummer:
Very good work Toxic. Needless to say I'm yet again amazed. I have been testing Liquids ROMs for years on so many devices its not even funny. Lol But this thing is crazy awesome on s3. Thank them for me. Tell them its d2d..lol Anyway bro thanks. And can you guys believe I came from a quick try of an updated stock based touchwizz to this build and actually had 4g @ boot!!!??? Nice.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dg4prez:
Let me guess, it came from an ios user. iOS doesn't send MMS properly and as a result android won't always read them properly. It sucks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] illyfilly:
Haha no blackberry.

OK something wonky with Bluetooth. When connected to my car the phone freezes. Had this problem before but just narrowed it down to the BT.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dg4prez:
there are still some BT issues on this device for AOSP roms.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JWorth:
i ODIN'd back to stock and still couldn't get a lock. I tried 4.0.4 with the AGPS patch from the bottom half of that post - no lock. Tried 4.1.1 update, still no luck. Then I went back to LS, skipped the activation and went straight to the settings to activate location (both in gnow and system settings) and it still didn't work :/.

i think i might just return to full stock and bring it to a vzw store, maybe my phone is just shot?

edit: but other than my gps not working (clearly not rom related), everything's working awesome. There are so many small improvements in 4.2, it amazing, especially with all the small customizations in LS - i love it!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nocoast:
Hate to be the bearer of bad news but it seems like u answered ur own question....u have a defective unit :/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Sean Hicks:
Love the rom as always. Google Play Music is causing my phone to freeze and reboot...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] montebello13:
all streaming works fine for me... youtube, google music, hbogo, amazon music

beta2 + ktoonz
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lortay78:
I don't know if this is helpful but BT was flawless in beta e.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] soapinmouth:
Anyone know how to get photo sync working

Sent from my liquid smooth gs3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dg4prez:
there's a new audio stack.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] goldsmitht:
Might be why I can't connect my blue ant ear bug. First aosp based ROM I've had problems with. Otherwise working great
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] carpdeeem:
Thanks to both for the info... can you confirm that the audio stack changed in beta f? Have wanted to run the most recent version with working Bluetooth but wasn't sure which it was.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] danstar:
I have the blue ant Q2 and any time I have flashed liquid smooth, I have had to reset the blue ant before it would show up on my phone or even pair.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Stran93r:
How are you restoring the app after you flash your ROM? I have noticed that when users restore app+data from titanium they tend to have more problems.

What kernel is everyone having the most success with? Stock, LK, or KT?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] djj624:
I just use titanium. I don't have any issues restoring my apps. During initial setup I don't allow Google to restore apps for me though. As far as kernels go I'm on the kernel with the rom and have good performance and battery life. I have thought about going to ktoonz but 16-24 hrs of battery life is something I'm afraid of losing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Stran93r:
Do you usually restore data with your apps? I used titanium to restore app+data for plague inc and I haven't had any problems. Have you tried restoring that it from the play store?

---------- Post added at 11:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:58 AM ----------

B2 is working fantastically. I did find one FC in the pull down though. When I touched the time/date in the pull down I got a system UI FC. Any ideas as to why this would happen? It's not a big deal though, it was actually an accident that I had found it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] djj624:
I always restore apps with data. Never a problem. BTW what are most overclocked to and how's battery for you guys ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Trumps:
Has the bluetooth audio quality been fixed in the latest release? (bass/crackling)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Version_3:
Is "Calendar" Installed? It's available from Play store.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Trumps:
To answer my own question, no - bluetooth streaming is still broken in Beta 2.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Stran93r:
Installing calendar fixed it, I receive no more FCs when touching the time/date. Thank you! Why is the calendar app not included in the GApps?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BrUhNiGGs:
Why is this rom always go on a constant bootloop every time I try it. All I did was turn off wifi and turn it back on using the toggles from the statusbar and my phone completely froze and is in an endless bootloop... No one has this problem except me?

And how come flashing this rom it deletes my internal storage so now I lost everything and I have nothing to flash. So I have to odin and do everything because I can't even mount my USB with the computer through TWRP. I'm very frustrated right now as you can see..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cr4ck3r4lif3:
This doesn't happen for me. Toggling wifi on and off its fine. What kernel are you using?

The internal storage is not being deleted, but moved. I noticed this as well. I had to dig in a couple folders to find my stuff. Typically I keep everything on the external
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dbornack:
Just clean flashed the latest, my home button does nothing. Is this expected?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eddie33081:
No I would try a clean install.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JWorth:
does anyone use the titanium zip to restore their apps? i've heard of people having issues with it but never had any significant issues myself
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Stran93r:
I have found that most problems from restoring apps using titanium is from restoring apps+ data. I have always used titanium to restore my apps after flashing a new ROM, what seems to work for me is only restoring apps without data. Yes, you will have to resign in and setup some apps but the headaches you will save yourself from will make up for it. However, I have found that restoring the data of some games does not seem to cause problems
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dmeadows013:
Is anything being done about the weak signal problem? It's killing my battery...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Stran93r:
I have this problem as well. At first I thought it was just because I was home but now that I'm back at school I can really notice the difference in the signal. It seems like my WiFi isn't very strong either even when I'm a couple feet from the router
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] msburr87:
I am such a huge fan of these roms but this is a deal breaker for me as well
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] toxicthunder:
yeah, it seems to be a kernel issue someplace...should be fixed soon...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Stran93r:
Would flashing a different kernel help or fix the problem?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dg4prez:
as far as i know this affects all current AOSP builds.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dg4prez:
I don't want to tell anyone their business but if they download and install the d2vzw beta2 file again, they may find that there are some small differences, like transparent status and nav bars, the new chronus color icons, and some other little bits and pieces that are behind the scenes. I've been running it a few days, and it works great. Enjoy!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dmeadows013:
Sooooooo it's a new release? Lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dg4prez:
basically d2vzw was built earliest - the other betas had stuff it didn't have. now it's a bit more even. call it a bonus update, or whatever. it's newer and better.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dmeadows013:
Getting DirectTrack as a main cause for my wake locks. A quick search shows that it is affiliated with Apollo Music (which I don't use) and was a known problem in some cm10 nightlies. Any idea of the cause/fix?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dg4prez:
I just spoke with liquid0624 about it... we shouldn't have any apollo stuff in there. We use the standard music app. I actually disable the app on mine in favor of play music; maybe try that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] elrichmeister:
Can I dirty flash this over the original beta 2?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dg4prez:
Sure can. It's basically the same thing. Just be sure to re-apply gapps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ricecake2000:
Sweet downloading now! Only left for GPS reasons but I'm gonna try the trick that has worked for some others and we will see how it goes! Hopefully well. I have been enjoying liquid since my DX days!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SuperFly03:
Yeah, this is killing me. I stream music via BT all day at work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dg4prez:
It sucks. Me too. It's a device tree thing. As soon as there's a fix I'll push for new builds, I promise.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rifler26:
So here's something interesting. My BBS log shows that I have over an hour more awake time than screen time on and the main culprit appears to be the messaging app.

Here's the interesting part. If you'll take a look at my battery screen, not only does it show my phone hasn't been awake for nearly as long as BBS says, it's apparently not been awake at times even when the screen was on. As far as I can tell I'm not seeing any extra battery drain but both BBS and the built in battery monitor seem to be off. Thoughts?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Stran93r:
When I was on the phone today I was not able to be transferred to another person. When I was told I was being transferred, the line when silent and I had to hang up. This happened three times today. I don't get transferred that often so it's not a huge problem but it's a real pain when you have to deal with it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dg4prez:
That one could easily have been their phone system. Not saying there might not be a bug, but we'd need some confirmation.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] snael:
EDIT: confirmed this only works temporarily and then it reverts quickly back to cutting in and out and being static-y sooooo nevermind!

I found this browsing another ROM forum and tried it. It fixed my Bluetooth streaming on liquid smooth beta 2. In the build.prop changing the line lpa.decode=true to lpa.decode=false.

No idea what it does in the scheme of things but it seems to be fine. Anyone with knowledge in these areas expand on this possibly? Either way glad I can use my BT headphones again. Might help others too~
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dg4prez:
i assume you mean lpa.decode=false?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] snael:
Yes I did! Thanks I changed it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SuperFly03:
I figured y'all knew about it but I didn't when I flashed the ROM. Oopsy!

Stuff happens, it gets fixed and life moves on. :)

Also: lpa.decode:false did fix my issue temporarily. It works for a bit then reverts back to the borked up bluetooth audio.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rampantandroid:
I'll go ahead and change this, see if it works for me. Oddly enough, phone calls work - just audio doesn't. I assume we're waiting on a change in the CM D2VZW branch?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Deltadood24:
Is it just me or does the weather not display on the lockscreen? Lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dg4prez:
It's just you. Try removing the clock widget and replacing with the chronus widget.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] snael:
You can fix this by changing the lock screen clock to the chronus widget. Just delete your original clock lock screen page.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BrUhNiGGs:
I may be late on this one but who else notices those little blocky artifacts on the grey colors on this rom. Such as the powermenu and its noticeable on a higher brightness

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rampantandroid:
Did you just move to 4.2 for the first time? Or have an old recovery? I had this issue when every ROM install would move the contents of SDCard to SDCard\0, so I ended up with my photos being in sdcard\0\0\0 or something.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ajm2387:
how did you fix it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] billypoke:
I had been on 4.2 but moved back to 4.1 because if stability issues. I moved all the contents of the 0 folder back to the internal SD card bit didn't delete the 0 folder afterwards. So if I go to /data/media/ , that is where what used to be the sd card is but the 4.2 internal SD card is located at /data/media/0/. All is ok now, but I accidentally moved the Android folder too and none of my apps would launch. Thank goodness I have TWRP which has a file manager.

TLDR: everything is fine now

Sent from my SCH-I535
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rampantandroid:
You just copy everything out of the 0 folders and back into the root SDCard folder - I did it in Windows, but you could do it in a file browser on the phone, too.

Nothing too involved or painful, just annoying.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] psufan5:
Anyone else having issue with the phone not activating?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jakereeves31:
Tap top left, top right, bottom right, bottom left of the screen to get past the activation screen. Keep doing it if it doesn't work the first time. Then go to settings, more, mobile networks, and change CDMA subscription to SIM/RUIM
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] psufan5:
Do I have to do that with every reboot?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Neverendingxsin:
Editing my post here, i did some testing and i highly advise not flashing the leaked Jellybean radio through mobile odin, it'll cause bootloops for you. If your going to flash it please do so via recovery :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] marblesmike:
I flashed it and have better speeds and reception....so I guess ymmv.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Neverendingxsin:
You must be lucky then. Did you flash via mobile odin or recovery?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Secretwar1:
That's really weird I just flashed the recovery radio after wiping cache and dalvik and I had no such problems
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] marblesmike:
I flashed via recovery.

I did a cache and dalvik cache wipe and then flashed it in recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Neverendingxsin:
trying with recovery then. i edited my post.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmichaels1982:
running it right now

flashed the newest radio via cwm from rootz then to my idiocracy , i flashed the rpm independently form scotts thread. I didnt know it was already included in the radio file, but every thing seems working, my phone still DOES NOT teleport me ... ( yep same speeds and dbm , was hoping for a miracle ).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Neverendingxsin:
Odd question but does anybody know how to make nova launcher play better with 240 dpi? Whenever i change it all the icons become really small and i'd like them to be bigger. Any help would be appreciated
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bigee1212:
Hey now that there is a Verizon leak can the drivers be grabbed from that and incorporated into the aosp roms? Overall rc7 works great bu there are some bugs with data.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] revolt1:
has anyone have a luck installing the new camera on rc7
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nativesmiley:
nothing here, i tried so many times and it just freezes after i take a picture. i dont know how people are getting theirs to work and ive been trying to ask around but no one replies back.

No
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jonhcox:
Mine froze once and then fc but after a reboot it was working again..

How and what file did you use

Can you post the file please thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droopydroors:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/yern0hrmifry85f/camera42_patched_v2.zip

Flashed in recovery.

Wiped cache

Fixed permissions

Reboot

This is the pic. Didn't line up perfect but with this small of a room I think it did pretty well. Can't wait to try it at work tomorrow.

Hahaha.... just noticed if you zoom in you can see my "tobacco pipe". Hahaha

RC5, too. Double tap seems to bring wake it up, not single tap. Must be done on purpose, but not aware of any specific setting.

Had a similar concern. DO a Titanium backup of everything, and after the upgrade, restore DATA ONLY on Liquid Launcher (or just Launcher, forget what it's called). Won't bring back widgets, but icons/positions/folders will come back.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jakereeves31:
Nah, just the initial boot.

How come the camera in this rom doesnt include the 360 panorama? And also the emoji keyboard
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lortay78:
So this is weird: I have been playing ingress for at least a couple of hours a day fir weeks now. I had no issues on the last beta 2 build, but today on the new one I kept hashing the app freeze. I tried two different kernels and a couple of reboots. I then flashed back to beta1e and it was fine. The drag us that I erased the first beta 2 and replaced it with the transparency one. Anyone have a copy of the last one I can test with? Beta 1e is totally stable for me with no Bluetooth issues, but it lacks nav keys.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BrUhNiGGs:
I just found an issue today with this ROM. Any 2D or 3D game I play it noticeably lags and FPS is much lower. And if I exit out of the game the whole phone lags in terms of switching home screens, scrolling, etc. The only way to fix it is to lock/unlock the device. I used both ktk kernel and lean so I'm guessing its a ROM issue. Anyone else got this problem?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] elrichmeister:
Only happens to me with draw something. When you go back to the home screen just turn off the display and turn back on and the lag should be gone on the home screens
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dg4prez:
i get that too. it clears after a few minutes, but when i exit temple run i notice it's a bit laggy.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lortay78:
Worse timing is impossible. I flashed back to beta 2 this morning like usual and I got the problem where the phone won't activate. I tried switching the network settings to ruim and sim, rebooted, and same problem. I restored a backup to beta 1 e, and problem persists.

My girlfriend is in surgery and I really need my phone. It us connecting to sprint with 1x, which I guess is just standard roaming? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

So far I've tried several different backups, and a full wipe and install of beta 2. No luck.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dems86:
If you backed up your imei its as easy as flashing the back up in recovery. I don't know why everyone doesn't do this before going flash crazy. Only need to do it once and you will always have the back up

Synergy has a script or whatever for it, find it in comprehensive imei thread. Also run nvbackup command in that thread once and you will never have to worry about imei again if you do those two things. Ibsuggest reading that thread once you get your settings fixed for next time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lortay78:
Okay thanks. I did back this up, I just need to get back to my pc and find where I put it. Thanks. I've never had this happen, but I'm glad I backed it up.

Edit: Just in case someone is reading this before you are in my situation... After you do the backup if the imei, don't delete your synergy rom folder on your SD. Bonehead move, and now I'm stuck with problems. The imei tool on this forum needs .net 3.5 which windows 7 is supposed to have natively, but I'm having problems. Sure would have been easy if I had kept my backup. I'm an idiot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cadams122593:
I know this isn't a 4.2 question. But is rc9 stable as the last nightly cm10 put out? Let me know please. I hate all this sdcard/0 bullcrap. Is there anyway that we can start getting that taken out? Maybe a rom for normal users and "multi users"... Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jarrid42:
