What if you tried going to the Facebook (mobile) website and played the video there? Does it do the same thing?

I suspect the stuttering video to be a problem with the app, and not the ROM...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] hatchguy06:
Which one?

I have not been successful in flashing google apps for this and I know its my fault lol.. which one is the correct to have ? I got arm 5.1 stock? I get an error while flashing .
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] whodisname:
You getting those gapps from

Opengapps.org ? Those seem to work well. I use aroma installer version, but I betcha they all work.

What's the error you get? Is is a "status 7" or what?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] MatAccord:
Confirmed; the FB app make that stuttering. Via mobile website through chrome, everything is perfect.

At least, Ive got a workaround for the moment :)

N.B.: Dunno if this stuttering might be coming fron my gapps package..? Im running a 2 months old one.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dragoonmx:
Same stuttering video on faceb, and i have a sound issue with the headphones, i plug in and no sound in the headphones and the phone, i have to reboot to have sound again
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] MatAccord:
As i said, Im only experienced the video stuttering issue on the FB app.

There is nothing wrong with the headphone sound on my side. Music or incall volume works perfectly fine for me.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] hatchguy06:
I used stock version and another.. got status 6... never tried aroma.. tryin out a cm13 build but no mic is a deal breaker..want to get this to work but I have been out of the game since my htc hero. Ive left every new phone stock but since ive had to pick up my old gs3 I figured I would spice it up .. but things have changed in the past five years.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] anil2653:
If you are using other gapps and now coming to open gapps then you have to format system /data and caches

I am also using aroma version of open gapps so I am having full control on what I need that only to be installed
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ssurell:
I've been using tk gapps nano over several pac versions now with no problems. Probably need to format /data/media. I figure the nano build has less chance of going sideways, and install the rest through play store or sideload.

Like riding a bike, but compared to a Hero this is a cake walk.

Flashing from a fresh root and stock rom. going to actually spend some time trying today .

I'm still getting error 6. is there a certain recovery I should be using. I'm on cwm v6.0.4.7

I actually just tried tk apps with same results.. I ve seen this be an issue with a typo in the script or a format issue but I know its not the issue here.

Normally open gapps will create a log into your SD card So just try to read and understand the reason

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] whodisname:
Everything seems great except the one problem with landscape mode. Autorotate having some small issues.

I was thinking of backing up my apps, then Odin back to nj2 (that's where I'm at now.) Doing that then a stock recovery wipe. Then reinstall latest recovery from cyanogen and ng this in the cleanest way I know how. Is that necessary?

I'm here asking questions as i have searched for days looking for answers to a few questions i cannot find answers to.

I'm not a dev but I'm no n00b either, i have recently obtained an s3 and am looking to get rid of the SamWare on it.

im trying to find out:

1) if indeed the boot loader is unlocked and if not how to unlock it.

2) is it safe to flash a rom of my choosing with out the need to flash a modded boot loader and if so

3) what are the rules for flashing "do's and dont's"

ive been to enewman's thread as well as countless others and have found out without a shadow of a doubt i cannot

downgrade but havent gained enough info to comfort me in making the jump to custom goodness. my apologies if this is answered else where, if so a link to this info would be appreciated. things have gotten a ton more complicated since i rebuilt a handfull of s2's and rom'ed them. my device info follows, thank you in advance

device: att america (network unlocked) on straight talk (4gLTE), d2att, i747(no "m")

rom: stock, 4.4.2, i747ucufne4

additional info: twrp 2.8.7.0, super su 2.46 , busybox 2.20.2(stericson), root successful and confirmed many different ways

KNOX nixed and uninstalled with titanium backup

these are the kinds of answers i keep coming up with: http://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/115694-i747-stock-442-to-cm121/
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jason2678:
1) None of the bootloaders on the i747 have been locked. There is no need to unlock them. Any unlocking procedure you find is probably for the Verizon S3, and attempting it will hard brick the AT&T S3. The NE4 bootloader is not the most current available for this phone, but it should work fine with most the kitkat and all the lollipop custom ROMs available. If it works for you I wouldn't mess with it.

Before you start flashing away, while you're still on rooted stock enter this in a terminal or a adb shell:

su
reboot nvbackup

This fixes a Samsung derp and can save you some trouble in the event of a bad flash in the future.

2) Flash any CM/AOSP ROM you want as long as it is for d2att or d2lte. Touchwiz ROMs are a little more picky about bootloader/modem matching the ROM, especially the stock ones, but the worst thing that happens is features like wifi or mobile data not working right. Restore a backup or flash another ROM and you're back to normal.

3) Do always make a backup or at least have a good one on hand before you flash anything.

Do keep your recovery up to date. TWRP is the only one that is being actively maintained, but it doesn't work for every S3 user. Philz is an ok alternative.

Do format the internal storage when switching between Touchwiz and AOSP ROMs. It prevents some freezes during boot and strange behavior.

Don't ever try to downgrade from the NE4 bootloader; you can hard brick that way. Since Samsung introduced Knox you can only move forward, never back.

Don't ever flash a ROM for an i9300. i9300 goes by the name Galaxy S3 too, but it is a totally different phone under the hood. Always use d2att or d2lte ROMs with the i747.

This phone is a flashing beast. I've flashed countless ROMs on it. I've had a few bootloops or freezes, nothing that wasn't fixable by booting into recovery and restoring or flashing something else. A few ROMs or flashes borked the nvram to where GPS wouldn't work two or three times, but that is easily fixable too. Other than that, I've had zero scares or difficulties. Have fun.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jason2678:
What!?! The FM radio can actually be made to work on this phone? I thought it had an FM receiver, but I never got it to do anything. I probably haven't tinkered with it since the jellybean days.

Side note: I have a Sony Ericsson W518a still alive and kicking on my desk. I use it kind of like a wired remote for a set of speakers; using the cord as an antenna it actually pulls a better signal than the little stereo its plugged into and the phone adds a digital tuner. Six years of dedicated service out of that old clamshell. It would be nice if the S3 could slide into that role when/if that little Sony ever dies.

Thanks a bunch for the info and rom, this is awesome. Ive really missed

Currently running Update Dec. 9/15 on FNE4 every thing.

Question:

1)How to try out the fm radio? link to apk? I got a samsung app from here on

xda and it diddnt install. Best i can understand is stock samware fm app is

extremely dependant on a lot of stock twiz stuff.

2)can i use supplied kernel for set cpu o.c.? if not suggestions?

if so, whats a good stable o.c. cap?

My bad for the FM radio confusion. I mis-read the commits. I have never used fm radio on any of my smartphones so at the time I didn't question it. After some research, I found FM radio to be carrier and hardware dependant. International s3 version has it. By the sounds of it N.A. version does not. Take this up with Samsung. Lol. If anyone has researched this with more intensity, please share your experience. Cheers!!!!

Quick question: nothing major, but I was having issues with my GApps and tried flashing Open GApps which failed and gave me a log that listed the ROM as "unofficial", yet I'm using your download file from BasketBuild that says "official" in the file name. How does something like that occur? I'm not having issues because of it or anything, just curious to learn a bit.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] manfromgta:
Not sure why the log would say that. Only official builds are on basketbuild. Would you mind sharing the log if you still have it?

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Mydnytefantasy89:
Couldn't send the actual log through Tapatalk or XDA app, all I have is my phone right now. I took a screenshot of the portion I'm referring to. I didn't have Open GApps, so I had to wipe /system and reflash ROM to install them, so this log is not the failed log but the successful one that saved over. But upon looking again(I must've missed it the first time)its claiming that the cm12.1 build is unofficial, not PAC.

Awsome rom thanks so much. Makes my backup phone worthwhile. The app drawer in GEL is a bit laggy but that's it. Anyone have any idea why Nova launcher constantly force closes? it works sometimes and other times does not. Running latest stable 5.1.1 and clean install.

Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] clearchris:
You know, I used to have problems with nova launcher force closing, but I haven't in a long time. Did you install nova launcher clean or did you take a backup of it and restore via titanium backup or other means?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Joylesstuna:
It was a clean install Chris. I got GEL xposed so its ok I justcouldn't find a fix.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Mydnytefantasy89:
Kinda new here, so I'm looking more for reassurance, but anyway, Clock app keeps FC'ing every time I unlock my phone. I haven't narrowed down the culprit, yet, but that's more than likely a ROM thing right? Something erasing cache and dalvik can fix? Or do I need to reflash? I also have Xposed, I know that's a viable option. Sorry, I just recently lost everything on my laptop, so I'm in an extra careful state right now lol

EDIT: this if what CatLog is saying:

02-05 03:24:14.732 E/AndroidRuntime(27473): java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.android.deskclock/com.android.deskclock.DeskClock}: android.database.sqlite.SQLiteException: Can't downgrade database from version 11 to 8

My apologies on formatting, I'm on the XDA app.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] clearchris:
Hmm, haven't seen that one before. How did you install the ROM?

It sounds like clock is looking for an older version of the database. So, perhaps you installed dirty and there's an old version of Clock kicking around? Did you pull an old version off of a backup?

Once you are on PAC, you can dirty flash minor versions, but your initial flash should include a factory reset and maybe even wipe system to be sure.

Edit: BTW, nice troubleshooting! Thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Mydnytefantasy89:
No, I clean installed, even deleted /data after all the compounding dirty flashes leaving behind directories that weren't even being checked. I did have to delete and reflash after an incident with my gapps. I used Banks initially, but it seemed outdated, so I had to delete /system to flash opengapps. I should have updated here, but I figured it out; it was my using the mini package instead of micro, like I normally use, so I just had to delete data in the clock app. However, thank you for the reply! You'll probably see me here again lol
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] clearchris:
Excellent! I'm glad you figured it out!
