I see lots of kernel changes in the log of today's nightly, but i don't know what they actually do. Any ideas? Sorry if it's already been asked.
[Galaxy S III General] Usexy:
Just flashed the latest nightly (20130113) and my network signal strength is significantly weaker. Anybody else had this issue?
[Galaxy S III General] evcz:
Signal strength has always been random here.

Are you seeing it getting lower based on the numbers of bars showed?
[Galaxy S III General] donalgodon:
Any idea why I lost root when I flashed the latest nightly update? How can I fix it?

Edit:

Solved it by using the built-in updater. Manually, it broke root access, but with the updater, everything went smoothly.

Restoring Original Internal SD Card Directory

Hi all,

Thanks for a great ROM. I tried it out for a few days and then changed roms (currently Omega v37).

I tried searching this thread but could not find an answer.

I see the internal sd card folders were all moved into a folder called "0". How can I restore (go back to) the original directories. Is it as simple as cutting all the folders in folder "0" and pasting it to a internal sd card?

Or can I delete the complete "0" folder if I am not on 10.1 anymore.

Advice would be appreciated.
[Galaxy S III General] GerBBAR14_c:
/0/ is default for Android 4.2.1 and cannot be taken away. Any ROM.

If you get back to 4.1.2 (or any other earlier Android version), I suppose you can just cut and paste everything from the folder to its root location.
[Galaxy S III General] vanhimself:
Thanks for your quick response.

Yes I am back to Android 4.1.2. I will cut and paste as you advise.

Thanks again

Music quality has suddenly improved! Poweramp hasn't updated recently, so I'm assuming it's something in CM itself - or am I imagining things?
[Galaxy S III General] codeworkx:
placebo :D
[Galaxy S III General] lvanderree:
Thanks for the tips!

I tried it all last weekend, eventually restored the entire stock samsung rom to finally conclude the vibrate-hardware has got broken.

I thought it didn't function anymore after the battery got very empty (<2%). so I guessed/hoped it might be some energy saving function in which it got stuck. However Now with the stock ROM I opened the service menu and everything works there, except vibrate so I can safely say it's the hardware now.
[Galaxy S III General] pickandwhammy:
Thought so :P
[Galaxy S III General] pickandwhammy:
Highly doubtful if it's a CM issue. Go to Mobile Networks and Search (change screen timeout to 2 minutes), select automatically. If that doesn't work, select it manually. Also check your APN settings.
[Galaxy S III General] tg.iskandar:
Hi..

Nope, not experiencing any signal issue. I'm running on the latest modem from official Samsung ROM, 4.1.2 for UK version. My signal is consistently 4 bars and calls quality are as usual. Data connection is also more stable than running on stock 4.1.1 and 4.1.2. Running on stock, data connection frequently seems to stop halfway, e.g. stop in the middle of webpage loading.

My modem is XXELL4.

Hope this helps. Cheers.
[Galaxy S III General] DarthGeorge:
Any idea what is all the HID changelog in yesterday's build?

Is been a while without i9300 or SMDK4412 changes and I'm just wondering what it is or if it's important hehe

Will try again cm10.1 later:thumbup:
[Galaxy S III General] lawonga:
Whoa can someone explain the kernel changes in the latest nightly?
[Galaxy S III General] riggnix:
I think it has something to do with "doing vsync the right way". I don't know for sure though. But I remember talks about this a few weeks back, also this commit suggests it: http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/29976/.

Look to me like the rest is just implementing the corresponding syscalls and fixing some related errors.

Would be nice if one of the devs could answer this though, I'm pretty curious ;)
[Galaxy S III General] thegh0sts:
did jenkins bust the build?
[Galaxy S III General] lawonga:
It's amazingly smooth
[Galaxy S III General] codeworkx:
for connecting bluetooth keyboards. mostly needed on tablets. pretty useless on i9300.
[Galaxy S III General] Andy:
I've cleaned this thread up a little.

Please keep all discussion related to CM10.1 for the SGS3.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S III General] kickassdave:
The network signal issue is a known problem actually. You'll find you only ever really see full reception or low/no reception.
[Galaxy S III General] i.amtom:
So far I've had no problems but the keyboard popup bug. Keep it up :)

Is there anyway to get multi-window and the stock gs3 camera on this rom?
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Multi-window? No way in hell :p Stock GS3 camera? Wouldn't benefit us the least. The app isn't really to blame, it's the libs.

By the way, this commit looks interesting: https://github.com/cyanogenmod/andr...mmit/35b625ae35c0cd62ac2a581049454c494406de20 which will come in tomorrow's build.

Would love to see USB Mass Storage merged into CM10.1 again miss connecting my phone to my car deck to play some music.
[Galaxy S III General] redcore2k:
just install another 4.2 Latin IME and see the popup glitch gone ;)
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
USB Mass Storage is impossible to use with the internal memory while android is accessing the data as all is stored in one big chunk a.k.a. /data.

Maybe SGS3 Easy UMS would work if you have an external sdcard although no guarantees and no one takes responsibility if anything happens.
[Galaxy S III General] Le_Matriciel:
USB Mass storage work great with CM10 ... why not in CM10.1 ?
[Galaxy S III General] McIringer:
Sorry if this is irrelevant question, but I want to know if I can try CM10.1 without risk... SDS hype... :) so cm kernel is safe, what about recovery? Or is it not that bad to flash philz recovery over cm's recovery? As far as far as I know flashing cm brings its own recovery over whatever I have at the moment?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III General] blazevxi:
CM 10.1 has the kernel update I believe. IIRC you're still at risk with an un patched recovery though
[Galaxy S III General] LenAsh:
That commit is bad news for me. I need a headphone amp gain of about 54-55 for optimum with the 'phones I use (stock is 57). This will give me too little control granularity and degrade the SNR when listening to quiet pieces. Back to stock then...
[Galaxy S III General] labbe-:
it doesnt on i9300

[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
I was forced back to stock when I realized I needed a better camera that's always reliable. I've just been too lazy to actually update my signature. I thought why bother since I flash a new rom like every two days :p

Aah, the constant woes of being a flashaholic. :p
[Galaxy S III General] Darkbladecr:
I like it has been labelled, 'blow the headphones away', will be interesting how big the increase is.
[Galaxy S III General] labbe-:
you can change it back with alsamixer

Sent from my GT-I9300
[Galaxy S III General] McIringer:
So cm10.1 kernel is SDS safe and if I already have Philz recovery CM10.1 won't override it, because unlike on GT-i9100, flash zip does not contain recovery? Correct?

Thanks again!
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
On the i9300, the recovery is separated from the kernel. The recovery is in its own partition and is unaffected by whatever kernel you flash, unless the flash zip contains a script to write a recovery to the recovery partition.
[Galaxy S III General] :
Here is another flashaholic! :D

Really annoyed by the camera too (switched to stock couple of times) but still in love with cm10.1, its awesome.

I recommend you to give it a try to null_ rom. It's stock with aosp theme, zero bloatware and interesting tweaks. Enjoy it until you come back to cyanogenmod! :p

Is it possible to swap the external SD to internal SD ?
[Galaxy S III General] AaronMichael:
Hey guys, the camera has the tendency to save to internal SD, I get that. But I just realize last night that the browser does the same too! Any news on saving stuff to ext SD?

[Galaxy S III General] padraigdoran:
I'm just after getting what looks like the out of memory bug/issue from way back on CM10. Was doing lots of browsing, had lots of apps running simultaneously, etc. The apps with notification icons kept restarting, like Tasker and Avast. Anyone experience this?

Edit: on 20130114 nightly
[Galaxy S III General] labbe-:
i doubt that the same issue that in early CM10. in early CM10 the mali drivers were the cause of the memory leak. you could cause your device run out of memory by only pulling the notification bar up & down. i think in your case there is a badly coded app somewhere that is hogging up memory and not releasing it
[Galaxy S III General] i.amtom:
Directory bind stopped working after updating the ROM, the app says everything is working as it should but when i open an app it asks to download additional data. Any workarounds?
[Galaxy S III General] labbe-:
based on you signature, sure ur on the right thread?
[Galaxy S III General] padraigdoran:
Ya, was thinking it wasn't the original OOM error. Must have a look at the apps. Thanks.
[Galaxy S III General] pickandwhammy:
Please read this.
[Galaxy S III General] hteles:
You mean pretty useless without HDMI because the lack of sources

Even multicast seems far away, right?

Regards,

Your work is really appreciated.
[Galaxy S III General] fenstre:
I'd like to know about this as well. I can add that manually performing a bind mount yields some very weird results:

mount --bind /extSdCard/DCIM /sdcard/DCIM

The above command will result in all the external DCIM files showing up in the internal DCIM directory (as they should), but the file size is 0 bytes. Something fishy is going on (maybe with fuse), but it's beyond me to debug the cause.
[Galaxy S III General] jfi2ee:
no sound when calling

Like title suggests I've updated to the newest cm10 nightly but for some reason when I try call someone there is no ringing tone nor can I hear the person on the other end, I've been told by the person on the other end they can hear me

Any ideas...I've tried reflashing but still no luck

[Galaxy S III General] poldie:
Makes a lot of sense on any device where you want to prevent people from accessing your data, changing your config settings etc.
[Galaxy S III General] Darkbladecr:
And putting a pin password cannot prevent that? Unless you are giving an unlocked phone to people?!
[Galaxy S III General] grzybiarz91:
I think it's disable or not ported into cm10.1. Typing in terminal pm create-user test also doesn't have any effect.
[Galaxy S III General] Zatta:
Actually, there is an instruction in this thread somewhere, I use it to allow my kids to play games on my phone without being able to go to the play store, use RootExplorer, delete pics from the gallery etc (eldest one is 5 and likes to press every button he can find :eek: )

This is 10.1, not 10.

Btw look at the faq: you need to mandatory reproduce a system sound at boot or audio won't work.
[Galaxy S III General] pickandwhammy:
Agreed, but you can always lock these apps with some kind of locking app (obviously lock the locking app too :p). I'd meant that a phone is a much more personal device than a tablet. Even personal laptops are less "personal" than phones, IMO.

No lag at all. Even without working hwcomposer. Do not have the time to read the last 50 pages if it is correctly implemented now. IMHO this is the the most stable firmware now and by far better than stock firmware.

If you want to edit this further you can do it by using a root explorer, edit the file m0 in /etc/sound.

Just be careful with what you do there.

[Galaxy S III General] ThunderBolt_BR:
According to Entropy512's last google+ update, hardware composer on exynos 4 devices can be described as "Vsyncplacebocomposer": It just synconise the frames without composing them.

I recommend reading his post (search for Andrew Dodd on G+ - sorry, I can't paste G+ links here). Entropy512's explainations are awesome: Even noobs like myself are able to understand most of the technical stuff -> A BIG thanks to him and all CM Mainteiners!
[Galaxy S III General] pickandwhammy:
Above mentioned G+ post.
[Galaxy S III General] poldie:
"some sort of locking app.." LOL! This is exactly why I'd rather do it using the OS. Personal? I'm not interested in descriptions of devices as `personal` or whatever - it adds nothing to the discussion. It's a turing machine, as the end of the day - look at it that way. I'm talking about lending my daughter/brother my phone to play with for a few minutes - not exposing it to the internet - and in a way that I can be comfortable that `little fingers` won't press the wrong button or accidentally mark an email/text as read so that I miss it later on. I can do this on a nexus 10, and a nexus 4, but on the S3 I need `some sort of app`... This sort of thing is exactly what projects like CM allows for - trivially making available functionality which is built in but hidden from end users. I know that this is possible because it was described earlier in this thread; I'm just explaining why someone would want to do so. Whether anyone else personally wants to do so isn't very relevant.
[Galaxy S III General] pickandwhammy:
Haha, I get your point. And yes, if it's natively supported, it shouldn't be "hidden". Hate these manufacturers for doing this to multiple functionalities and then adding their **** bloatware on top of that.

i'm on newest nightly and that "issue" was already present for me since the first build. if i press the home when i'm in an app, why do i get that fly in-out-animation which is normally shown when switching between apps?
[Galaxy S III General] Haloalkane:
I've recently been having some noticeable differences in battery life, and I'm not entirely sure if something change rather drastically recently - or if I've screwed this one up myself (which seems strange, as I haven't actually changed anything).

I'm running the nightly build from the 14th at the moment, but according to Android's battery information Google Services is the culprit. However, that doesn't really make sense - none of my background sync settings has changed, and I haven't installed Currents either (in the event that one would blame Currents).

The plot then thickens when I look at GSam's battery usage information per app and supposedly the kernel is taking the cake.

I'd like to note that in the small process of taking these 4 images in less than two minutes, my battery declined from 31 to 29. (I had to try various combos to get the screenshots working, haven't done it in a while - and then to take another one not included.)

:confused:

If wanted, I'll be glad to post the almighty log - but so far nothing's "failed" - except for my battery expectations (of the last days).

Relevant screenshots are attached.
[Galaxy S III General] pickandwhammy:
3G?
[Galaxy S III General] Haloalkane:
That's a reasonable assumption, but that's been activated (almost) all the time since the first nightly build came out.

I haven't had the battery drain as excessively as it does now, not even close.

I did try having 2G on yesterday, but that didn't aid the situation much - the kernel still took up a huge chunk of battery compared to everything, and Google Services.

Thanks for the help though!

CM 10.1 loveliness - apart from green power...

Hey Guys,

I've been lurking here for a few weeks since I started using CM10.1 and thought it was time to surface and say Hi.

Great, great ROM, everything works just fine for me, so a BIG thanks to the Devs for all the hard work :good:

Are there any other Green Power users here? If so could someone point me in the direction of what I'm doing wrong as it won't disable WiFi as per it's schedule and I could swear that it used to on an earlier nightly (unfortunately I can't remember which one..)

Thanks in advance

[Galaxy S III General] thesebastian:
As an S3 and Nexus 4 user. I wanted to say that the S3 camera ( in touchwiz stock firmware ) is extremly MUCH better than nexus 4 camera ( in Google stock firmware aosp ).

Also, I need to use "camera zoom fx" app in order to have a better manual focus on nearly objects.

So all the quality problems with the S3 camera on cyanogenmod are not so bad after all. In fact....if my memory doesn't fail me.... You can take better photos with S3 on cm10.1 than on N4 with cm10.1 or Google stock 4.2.1.

Or....in a worse scenario....you can take similar quality photos

Of course you don't have camera switch delays...crash etc im just talking about image and video quality
[Galaxy S III General] Wade0:
As a new user to CyanogenMod. I installed 10.1 and so far loving it. Only a few flaws. I've had to disable Apollo as it kept coming up saying "Apollo has stopped working" and for a while now when I boot the camera up it takes ages to take a picture, whether it be front or rear cam and when switching from front to rear cam it also takes a while.

Anyone help out?
[Galaxy S III General] xcly:
Having the same problem. Everything was working fine until apollo just decided to crash one day + updates don' t resolve it and moved to a different rom. I'll just wait it out and see if thr next update sorts it out.
[Galaxy S III General] Ginosius:
Well thanks for pointing it out bro :)

I was going to order a Nexus 4 on the play store when they'd be available again, but now I won't.

CM10.1 on the S3 was the best thing that happened for me in a long while, and in my opinion the cam crashes became less with the latest nighties.

Even though all the devs are frustrated for the lack of reference code and broken hwcomposer, CM10.1 works really really good.

Also I think the picture quality on the S3 is really good on CM10.1, even if it crashes (happens very rarely for me).

So if the camera on the N4 is worse compared to CM10.1 on the S3 then I'll wait for another compatible CM10.1 phone.

So with the N4 having a working composer, libs, hw-support etc... is it really faster than CM10.1 on the S3?

Because I find my phone not slow at all to be honest :)
[Galaxy S III General] kamalmawa:
This is probably due to camera hardware quality difference between the two devices... I'm pretty sure lot of people who reviewed Nexus 4 wasn't that happy about the camera quality, then again its cost only half of what S3 costed when it was released ;).... cordworkx mentioned few times that they are getting so much positive responses & support from Sony. So I might well get the Xperia Z when it comes out...

Sorry for going out of the topic

Doubt it.

As the reason, I believe it is more of 'not caring' rather than fear.

When you have the sales and the huge amounts that Samsung is moving, there's little to be afraid.

The Android ecosystem is dominated by Samsung in most tiers despite what your favorite brand wants you to believe.

The recipe is made of: corporate trade secrets, intellectual property and not giving a damn.

Community barks, they throw a bone, we chew it and then we find out it's made of rubber or rubbish.

That is the best analogy that comes to my mind about what happened.

[Galaxy S III General] Mikulec:

[Galaxy S III General] Zatta:
That is how it is.

No, you are wrong. That "fix" uses a addon.d script to trick the upgrade process while downgrading through odin actually downgrades the firmware of the chip.

And that is what cm is written for so don't expect help here because you use an aletered cm version, like when you are using a custom kernel.
