In response to the guy above me and others with GPS issues. Flashing a different rom or Restoring a backup of a different rom seems to be a great way to fix gps issues with this rom and any rom.

You can come back to this rom...but first get on a different one...make sure gps works. Then flash or even just restore back to this one.

i restored to a 4.1.2 rom. gps worked. restored back to this rom and gps still worked.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] amessina:
Completely agree. It's weird though, you would think doing the "format system" would kill your existing rom, but in my case it didn't. If it wasn't for the "nandroid" like rom, this is the route I would have followed..

ok, so after running 4.2.1 on my G-nex and loving it I know I need to hook my wife up.. so right now I've got her rooted, unlocked, and twrp installed with the latest versions of everything.

any problems going from 4.0.4 ICS to 4.2.1E using the 121212 Gapps found in the OP?

she'd get pretty pissed if I messed up her phone and had to spend hours getting it back to stock.

i've made a nandroid of her stock rom now and im backing up her entire SDcard now just to play it safe...

but my idea is to factory wipe in TWRP, Install 4.2.1E , then install Gapps

is that correct?

Can anyone else confirm a glitch where the home button stops functioning normally and it just jumps between recent apps and the current app? Usually a restart fixes the issue. I'll try getting a log cat but it seems random.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] steeeler:
So glad somebody else has seen this. Thought it was just me since I've never seen anyone post about it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] scarygood536:
I'll have to see if it is a LS problem or a 10.1 problem. Thanks for the reply.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kazuma5401:
Same here....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Version_3:
Same here. The button acts like it's being long pressed with the haptic feedback triggering immediately.

I, and this seems silly, had an issue with 1E for the last 2 days where it would crash at the exact same place while driving. Really odd, but no rhyme or reason other than location. Time of day was different, as was the BT connected state, apps opened/running, charging/not charging status. Yesterday, I had to wipe cache and fix permissions to get it to stop crashing upon boot. Today, I simply restored to a backup of a previous LS 4.2.1 I had. This version did not crash at this location previously.

There might be a better explanation for it, but I have none.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rfranken:
When I do nandroid Restores....that's all I do.

When you start the process if you read the text it mentions how it is formatting system and wiping caches and all that automatically.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] illyfilly:
I had this problem with Beta 1. A reboot would fix it. The major reason I came to 1E was the keyboard kept going schizo. It hasn't been happening on 1E.

Also I can't get a lock on in GPS. Always searching.

Anyone know why this keeps killing the data or sticks in roaming? Second time I have had to reset sim card.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Travisholt92:
Hmm usually when that happens all i have to do is restart the phone. Also on the GPS thing, after flashing back to stock, making my gps radio connect to/detect the satellites, then flashing back to this rom it started working. I had immediately went to this rom as soon as i got the phone (rooted it and installed within 20 minutes, so I didn't even test the GPS at all before flashing this rom, causing me to have that GPS issue) did some research and common sense told me where my issue was... Simply not connecting to GPS in the first place. Had the same issue with my girlfriend's phone that i had gotten a week prior and did the same thing to. To clarify what my issue was it simply wasn't finding any sort of satellite signal.

On another note, can anybody point me in the right direction to getting louder call volumes? both the earpiece and the speakerphone are a bit quieter than expected.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pinhead875:
So I searched and I don't yet see a fix/answer for the gallery issue. I'll keep checking back.

I went straight back to LiquidSmooth after locking GPS in stock.

As for the gallery issue, I have tried to fix it myself using fixes for the CM10.1 bug which is exactly the same as this one, but doesnt work still. I've also tried clearing any cache files on the external sd card. :/ no luck

I flashed back to the latest jelly bean OTA through Odin to see if I could get GPS to work... Still didn't work on stock. Hmm. I'm curious if it works by flashing back to ICS and then back to the greatest ROM ever. (That's this one, IMO)

:Edit:

As mentioned by other users in another forum, flashing AGPS may fix your GPS problem. I've haven't been able to use GPS on 4 or 5 different ROMs, but after flashing it found my location and was able to navigate me to a local bar within a minute. Yahoo for beer. :good:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] toxicthunder:
No.

The system partition is never wiped - the recovery is built that way. Unless you explicitly ask for /system/ do be wiped, you will not brick anything no matter how many times you reboot and wipe.

Please understand that a Full Wipe from recovery is nothing but clearing of your personal data and settings (user apps, user settings etc) You will not lose any of your files (pictures, media files etc)

That is why it is necessary, because depending on how a rom has been built, mount points might be changed or other preferences may have been introduced. Wiping will remove all these preferences (user-preferences they are after all) It will NOT delete any system files.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Flomaster:
FML.... so in attempt to get GPS working my dumbass just restored the 4.0.4 ICS backup before backing up the LS I was currently running.. locked in on GPS then tried to dirty flash LS again LOL... result was not getting past the Liquid Boot Screen after a factory wipe it booted, but lost all settings and customization I made.

oh the life of a crack flasher

I just installed beta E everything is great except battery life is iffy and I'm a big fan of speech to text. But I had to deactivate it today because after hitting the mic key it pops up but immidiattly closes and shuts the keyboard off too. Tried clearing app data and reinstall no go. Just shut it off in settings and now all I have is keyboard. I just started playing in this ROM so I may find more anyone had this issue or know a quick fix?

Installed ktoons kernel, runs stable, from previous driods I've run I always used imosyns stuff but it never seems to load on my s3, boot loops every time.

Love the extra settings, and the photos as video is weird. I gotta go back and fix this GPS problem. That should be fun.

Def gonna hang onto this ROM for a bit. Good times!! Great work!

Was wondering if there was a switch for LTE because I am stuck in 3g...went and took a ride to see if it would change no good :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kazuma5401:
So GPS fixed, Google voice fixed, camera takes pics and I can view them depending on the size but nothing that I had photos of previously befor this ROM are viewable.

But still this battery life is terrible. 8 hrs..... Moderate use, no streaming, couple pics, switched back an forth twice to fix GPS, hit the web for maybe 10 min.....

Any thoughts?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dg4prez:
I find that turning LTE off and on again with the power widget usually wakes it up. Once liquid gets his PC woes straightened out we can hopefully grab some of the newer upstream fixes. I get the sense there are a lot of radio fixes there.

You might have a bad download
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] constituent37:
To move down from 4.2, copy out any downloads you might have under 0 (e.g., Download, goomanager, xda, pix/vids) , flash 4.1 from recovery, then delete 0 (either after boot, or from recovery with aroma file manager if you want to save space and time).* If you delete after flashing, of course, you have another chance to save your downloads.

Thanks to anyone willing to help out! I really want to jump on the 4.2 train but AOKP 4.2 left me camera-less and had other glitches, and that's what I've been on for ages (AOKP, not AOKP 4.2). This seems to be a solid alternative!
