A third party app like light flow can control it but i dont see why you want it to always be on... It is easy enough to guess where they are at night. Just my 2 cents
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] klin1344:
In settings --> advanced you can change the capacitive keys light up time to whatever you want, which includes always on.

It seems that there is a problem starting google analytics service, that it is not found. I don't know if it has anything to do with CM enabling support for google analytics in their ROM though....
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] klin1344:
Fix has been found; will be merged soon.

Okay, so I have finally got to the bottom of the apps crashing problem. Somehow this commit slipped through and without me knowing and was merged into the PAC repository. It caused apps which used OpenGL to crash on startup on our devices. I just sent a pull request to revert so that apps will stop crashing on our d2's: https://github.com/PAC-man/android_frameworks_base/pull/26.

Once it gets merged PAC-Man will be back up and running stable as ever on the d2's. :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] frosty5689:
Cool thanks. Must've taken a while to look through all the commits merged. I can finally use gmail and not worry about battery drain:)

Edit: Did it not get merged in time for 04/14's nightly? Still seeing crashes

No, it didn't get merged yet. Probably today so it should be in time for the next nightly.

I'm new to the S3, how are you guys liking this rom? I'm running stock CM10, thinking of switching over.

I get a status 7 error when I try and flash in CWM. How can I fix this problem so I can install this rom?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mbc663:
Flash ktoonsez kernel first
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] matrixzone:
Does the latest update fixes the lock screen issue? The last version I have to move back to stock as I was unable to unlock my screen - remains black - only hard reboot works.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KorGuy123:
Isn't status 7 just signifying he needs to update cwm to 6.0.2?

Or does the kernel update that for him?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] klin1344:
I haven't been able to reproduce what you are experiencing. I'm using koonsez's kernel.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mbc663:
no, status 7 is a build prop issue with the device name
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] F9zSlavik:
So will flashing kernel first fix my problem?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] klin1344:
No, you have to open the updater script and delete the first line which checks the build.prop for the right model before flashing. I also suggest using twrp... its much easier to use than cwm.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mbc663:
Give it a try, almost positive it will work
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] F9zSlavik:
Is this something that needs to be done on most roms or just this one because I have had this happen with others. I am knew to the S3, I'm coming from the HTC Amaze ;( Just wish I had 4g on my ATnT S3, I'm on Tmobil
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] klin1344:
No, it is a security check that is implemented into the install process so that people aren't flashing a wrong package that could possibly brick their phone. Chances are you are probably running a T-Mobile ROM, or at least that's what is in the build.prop. The updater script aborts installation if the build.prop doesn't match the device the package was intended for, which in this case is the sgh-i747/d2att. Another reason could be that you manually formatted /system prior to installing the zip, so there is no build.prop to check.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] F9zSlavik:
Isn't that what your suppose to do? Reset/Data Wipe before installing a new rom? I have a I747 but I am using it on TMobiles network.

If the rom is meant for a i747, which I have, then is it because manually formatting?

mbc663

I checked the rom and I am currently running Underwear 3.0.52 lol
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] klin1344:
Do you mean formatting system, or data? There is no need to format system before flashing, because the updater script does that for you before extracting the package.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] matrixzone:
Thanks for your response. Do I need to flash the kernel after the ROM. I thought the kernel is included in the ROM.

I am coming from Stock Rom. The issue that I am facing with this wonderful ROM: When I try to wake-up the mobile by pressing the home button, the mobile does not respond. I have to remove the battery manually and reboot to fix this issue. I have noticed this issue being reported on couple of other custom ROM based on CM10 while this bug seems to be resolved in 10.1 - As read from other post on XDA.

Keep up the great work buddy!!

Hope this Helps!!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KorGuy123:
The Rom comes with a kernel.

If you decide to flash a different kernel than you would flash it after flashing the Rom and gapps package.

I flash the newest Underwear kernel after this Rom, runs great.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jasvncnt1:
You cant even wake your screen by hitting the power button?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] matrixzone:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jamng:
On the latest nightly I'm also seeing an "odd" thing with the cLock screen. Every OTHER power button press gives me the weather, fonts, etc I would expect of cLock widget. The other press gives me the "older" lockscreen.

The metric (uncheck) and invert low/high temps (uncheck) doesn't see to do anything for me either.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Cprager:
Restore to backup?? This sounds like an issue with your recovery and not a ROM issue.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Who Am I?:
Backup is external, no? I can get into recovery but it wont mount the external

Woh just tried recovery for the 5th time and external is mounting. Hang on

Installed the ROM and gapps. Im seeing a tetris game being played on boot. Damn I think it fixed itself...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Cprager:
Depends on TWRP or CWM but i believe for both you have the option of setting the default save location for backups. Additionally I know you can (in CWM) choose to do a single backup to external SD.

*fyi the Q/A forum would be a better place for this discussion as this is reserved for development (I'm willing to say you'd get faster assistance too)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Who Am I?:
Yep Im good to go. Not sure why the ext sd wasnt mounting but I thought I had lost everything for a second there.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Who Am I?:
Couple of random freezes last night plus the screen wouldnt turn on but after getting everything updated and tweaking settings I havent really had any issues until the one below. Music still pops on 4/9 nightly.

Anyone getting the System UI has stopped message when changing the nav bar to 0%? I am using the battery bar along the bottom so maybe thats why but the only way to keep the system UI message from coming up is to change the nav bar to 10%(which I can live with)

Also where can I change fonts or the font settings? I can only find font size
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TheHow7zer:
I am a gs3 noob, I just bought my phone and am wondering what I should expect normal battery life to look like.

This what my battery looked like today. I noticed that the gs3 likes to run hotter than my older phones, usually around 30-35 degrees

Does the screen normally use up that much power? I've had it along the lowest setting all day! I only used the phone as a calculator or between classes today
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] danesusername:
I was getting that message on 4/9 until I cleared data for System UI. I haven't used the nav bar since I started using pie, though, so my error message was probably due to something else. I haven't had any music popping using Spotify.

I personally use ROM Toolbox Pro to change font.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] frosty5689:
So any updates on the OpenGL crashing issue?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] klin1344:
The opengl issue has been fixed, and all code related to it is in line with CM. The problem is with gmail specifically, and some users are reporting issues with it while others have no problems at all. I am trying hard to fix it...there is probably a commit that is causing it, and I am sifting through the past history of our code and comparing it to CyanogenMod to see what is going wrong.

Also, it might be a conflict with Hybrid Settings that is causing the gmail crash, as reported by other users. Please try setting gmail to 360p and phone ui, reboot and see if that fixes your issue.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] klin1344:
Also, the audio popping during playback had been fixed and will be included the next nightly. :)

Big thanks to the guys over at CM!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jordanetodd:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] klin1344:
After talking with other device maintainers, I have found the issue behind the gmail crashes. It is most likely a buildbot problem not pulling in the latest commits for the nightlies, because if I build a personal build after a sync then there are no gmail crashes and everything works as it should.

I'll continue to investigate and see if I can fix it in time for tonights nightly.

Anway, on topic. My s3 went through the roof earlier today. I was recording some video with the stock camera and the phone got crazy hot! Is this something that could be fixed?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] klin1344:
How hot is "crazy hot"? Could you post the battery or CPU temps? Most likely it is just the normal temps of normal device use. ;)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TheHow7zer:
Sorry, I though I attached a screenshot, I'm usually better at forum posting than this :P
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] frosty5689:
That looks like battery temp... Need cpu temp for better comparison
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] klin1344:
Yes, CPU temp is more accurate for reporting purposes. I know that KT747 displays CPU temp in KTweaker.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] klin1344:
IMO, I don't think that the battery temp is very hot. 39.6 C = ~103 F, which is actually alright considering you were using your phone a good amount with video recording and possibly flash. I've gotten 105 F (battery temp) once while charging and playing a game with the brightness set to max on a hot day.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] baconatorXVI:
In Haiti when I had my captivate I overclocked to 1.45ghz(from 1ghz). It was so hot I had my battery temp at 52c :eek:

I've also had the S3 in the freezer for benchmarking and gotten the battery to something like -25c

It's nice to know the range or electronics can survive through.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] klin1344:

Anyone having issues answering the phone while connected to a car dock?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] klin1344:
The gmail issue is finally confirmed fixed starting with the 4/19 nightly.

Just make sure you stick with the included stock kernel for now because there were kernel updates to make it compatible with the userland display driver updates. Flashing a kernel that isn't up to date as of 4/19 will result in a black screen.

I just clean flashed 4/19 and Gmail DOES NOT WORK. I even accidentally formatted Data so I lost all apps and settings and data so there was absolutely nothing left to cause an issue. Chrome in landscape flashes and occasionally on rotate goes blank with all the tabs in the tab switcher blank. No way to fix without restarting Chrome. I am rolling back to 4/9 what I should have done to begin with. Night lies after that have too many issues.
