dirty flash process

boot into recovery

flash new nightly

** if you use different kernel flash it now. not really recomended with dirty flashing but you can always try and see

flash gapps

reboot

some people will wipe cache and delvik cache but i dont. delvik gets wiped with system partition durring rom install. and regular cache isnt so important that it should cause any real issue.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Heisenberg420:
The cache and dalvik cache should really be wiped. The dalvik cache could cause force closes if new app versions are installed during the flash process. Cache isn't as important it contains mostly recovery logs which aren't relevant anymore and its not rebuilt so makes sense to wipe it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rs3freak:
What's the different between white list and black list in the halo settings?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TRusselo:
yes but 99.999% of roms (including this one) wipe /system partition in the install script before extracting the system folder of the zip.wiping system will wipe delvik. there is no need to manually do it.

when every you flash a rom, boot up and see the " Android is upgrading , ### of ### apps complete" that is the system rebuilding delvik cache becauase it has been wiped.

so wipe it manually, dont wipe it manually, doesnt matter, happens anyway.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Heisenberg420:
Well I just tested it and ur right

But dirty flashers if u clean installed the first halo nightly with broken super user like me, supersu still needs to be flashed in recovery with the nightly until that gets fixed up

Is anyone else getting really abysmal battery life on this ROM? I'll post some stats later today, but yesterday I lost 25% in three hours, with no activity. It could be because I was probably out of service for a good part of the time, but I have a 4200 mAh battery, and even though I barely used my phone, it was hemorrhaging battery life.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] frosty5689:
Try using a different kernel? Or try using cm 10.1 nightly and see if battery life is similar to confirm the kernel is the problem. Since pacman uses cm kernel. Also try the app Greenify and hibernate apps you dont want to run in background.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drinfernoo:
I already am using a different kernel, KT747. I had been running ReVolt, same settings, no apps frozen, and getting stellar battery life. Switched back to this, crap :(

Would someone be so kind as to point me in the direction of the last ATT Stable release and gapps? I used search but keeps bringing me to this thread. Is there a Last Stable Release? Not a big fan of nightlies
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drinfernoo:
Last "stable" release would be RC1, and there is a link to it in the OP, but it is quite old feature-wise. The nightlies have been stable enough, though, and have newer features like Halo. Latest gapps depends on which gapps package you want to use, but the latest official one is also linked in the OP.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] djdoubt03:
Ahh... So it is. Oops overlooked that. I'll give both a try thanks.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mikeeey:
I check back and flash this every couple months, it just keeps getting more and more amazing. The only reason I don't keep the rom is because the mic volume is way too low (cm10 bug right?). This includes facebook voice messages, voice recording, voice to text, Google Now/s-voice. Usually the voice to text doesn't work because it can't hear you.

Is there not an app or setting to manually boost the mic gain?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] frosty5689:
Weird, i never had such issues. You can try kernels with faux sound and increasing the mics analog gain.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] danesusername:
I'm having a weird bug with Play Music, but I have no idea what could be causing it. When music is playing, it plays at max volume, no matter what the volume is actually set at. I made sure I was adjusting the correct volume slider, so that isn't the problem. So far Play Music is the only app that this is happening with. Any ideas?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SgtSausage21:
Bug reports are slowing down, sounds like this rom is just about stable ready for another RC.

Quick question though, is the superuser bug still present, or do we not need to flash superSU anymore?

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SgtSausage21:
Any chance we could get faux sound commits merged, i thought klin1344 did awhile back, but i guess not?

KT kernel had never played nice with my device so that's why I ask. Trinity colors would be awesome too.

Been running 6/21 and its perfect so far, no random reboots. Thanks PapaSmurf
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Papa Smurf151:
If your talking kernel tweaks then I would have to say no. We use the stock cm kernel and unless someone wants to submit it to cm it's likely not to get added

I've been having issues with music players when the screen is off. When skipping to a new song sometimes you have to turn the screen on, if you don't turn screen on it doesn't move on to the next song. It tends to do this every 5 songs or so
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SgtSausage21:
Yeah I'll have to give other kernels a shot just hate risking the stability without knowing.

KT's kernel for whatever reason I couldn't get stable, for now I'm just happy running a fully working phone.

Thanks for the help!

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Fendulon:
I am running the 6/22 nightly with Ktoonesez most recent kernel. I don't really have any issues to speak of. With almost all stock settings I get really nice battery life. Between 24 and 36 hours with 2 hours screen time. (speaking in general as I've been using the nightlies for quite a while) I do use juice defender but only for a couple of the features it isn't full blown controlling the phone by any means.

Some people hate juice defender, but I've just never had a problem and have consistently gotten better battery life while using it.

Love the ROM. HALO is taking a minute to really appreciate but it is definitely nice. I do always have it on.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] x0ne215:
Probably just me, but...

Earlier was getting FC's on the phone app whenever I would try to make a call, then on the lock screen I would see the "RETURN TO CAlL" message, when clicked it would bring me to the emergency dialer..?

Happened on 6/23 nightly, but only this morning, not yesterday. Flashing 6/24 didn't help, so I just restored my older nightly and working fine now. Not sure what caused it, but just in case anyone else may have encountered it or knows a fix.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Papa Smurf151:
Problem with phone fc is fixed on next build. It only happens when pac in black is turned on. The fix has just been merged into our github and will be incorporated into the next nightly.

Bear in mind that the app only works if your kernel supports it.

Hey if I want to update nightlies, I don't need to full wipe right? What are the steps for a dirty flash?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Jason123420:
I just wipe cache and flash.. But I don't even think you need to do that
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] x10user2011:
So dirty flashing this is acceptable right? Wipe cache and flash the ROM? Do I need to flash gapps and my custom kernel too?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] x0ne215:
I've been dirty flashing all my nightlies, no issues other than what's reported.

Correct, wipe cache and flash away.

Shouldn't need to flash gapps, I haven't anyway. Not sure about kernel, but probably.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sgloki77:
hi guys, I'm on the 0619 nighty, everything stock, was shooting some videos with the stock camera, no foreclosures or anything, and now I cant find my videos, is this a bug or something, did I lose the footage, or is there anything I can do to recover it? thanks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] danesusername:
You shouldn't have to flash gapps because you won't be wiping any data or apps. You will have to reflash the kernel, though, because when you flash the nightly it will install the kernel that comes with the ROM.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drinfernoo:
Just flashed the 6/26 nightly. Google Now is broken, and we get the old Search app instead.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Sir_Brizz:
I am not having this issue on 6/26.

Also, you should flash Gapps every dirty flash. That is best practices anyway, it can cause issues to not refresh the file after system gets wiped (which it does ever dirty flash).
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] x0ne215:
Google Now works fine on my end as well. I've never had a reason to flash gapps when dirty flashing nightlies of the same ROM.

flash that one ^
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drinfernoo:
Task650's gapps are always far and away better than the officials, and have never given me problems. His most recent package is from 6/12, a whole three months newer than the official, and contains all updated gapps, optimized for AOKP's Dark UI. I have flashed them with very nearly every ROM I've ever used, and they've never given me problems, including never having given me the old Search app.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] x0ne215:
Well, for the time being flash the one I posted that's in the OP. It's known to work, hence why that one's there. You can always try flashing task's gapps but if it doesn't work and you don't want to use these then idk what to tell you.

Troubleshoot first, then be picky.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Sir_Brizz:
If anyone is interested, the new NExus Camera works delightfully well on this ROM. I grabbed the flashable from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=43005130

and flashed it in recovery. You lose the custom features of the CM camera, but quick snaps with no touch to focus works, Picasa sync, photosphere, etc all work great.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drinfernoo:
My point is, this is a ROM problem. I ran this ROM for about five months with task's gapps, both under klin1344 and PapaSmurf, and didn't have that. I've moved to a different ROM, because I was getting no support with bugs in this thread, and thought I would try again, but the same bugs and more still exist.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] x0ne215:
My point is, don't complain about things not working when you don't want to use the links, apps, and packages in the OP. It's not the dev's responsibility to make sure his ROMs work with your choice of stuff (for lack of a better term, long day at work). It's his choice if he wants to help or not.

Also, you're running nightlies, you shouldn't be surprised that there's bugs....However, I've yet to have a single bug interrupt what I do on my phone daily (texts, facebook, phone, music, etc). If using your gapps package is that important to you, ask the dev nicely, if he doesn't reply, move on :fingers-crossed:

(Sorry if I sound like a douche or went too far OT, again long long LONG day).

-----

On another note, I noticed the OP change, can't view links on this computer but is the old release still the same? (Not the nightlies).
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Papa Smurf151:
There is no new rc yet. We are pushing our rc2 very soon.

Not sure why tasks gapps package gives you the old search apk. If you post it here I'll open up the zip and see what version of search he has in gapps since google search is included in the gapps. I personally use the version in the op and have the correct search apk. I've also flashed the slim bean Toggleble gapps which works with our pac in black toggle. So not really sure why.

I have yet to see anyone else have an issue or even this person even ask in here since I took over. Nor have I received a pm asking for help or has anyone been to the pac forum and reported any bugs either.

Thread changed as I was cleaning up all my threads and made them all cleaner and more links to our sites

Yep :)

Also, it looks like you can still freeze the camera if you auto focus the first picture you take. However, if you tap focus the first picture, you can take as many pictures after that as you want. It's usable (this is on the standard camera).

Panorama and Photosphere work fine, though.
