so if i don't upgrade and use the download mode as hard as possible it might kill my phone?

this would mean that i can stop maintaining it?

sounds like a plan. *hrhr*

Ok, just kidding.

There are much better ways of doing this.

dd if=/data/media/0/Pictures/awesomeboot.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0boot0

(^^ don't try this at home)
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
A wild guess would be a newer bootloader...

won't NFC be a problem if we don't downgrade to an ICS ROM first?
[Galaxy S III General] bloot:
I didn't downgrade and think nfc is okay, i say think because haven't tested, but can be enabled or disabled.
[Galaxy S III General] AlmightyCushion:
That is only for the quick reply pop up. No idea if it changes anything there though.
[Galaxy S III General] flitzjoy:
NFC is perfect and I come from official sammy 4.2.1.

CM is better than Sammy, in stock notification toggle didnt work for NFC ;)
[Galaxy S III General] Julianocas:
Wich is the best way to install CM?

1

Install latest CWM

Format everything from internal

Flash the latest nightly

Flash gapps

Wipe data/cache

Reboot.

2

Format everything

Install XELLA

Install latest CWM

Flash latest nightly

Flash latest gapps

Wipe data/cache

Reboot.
[Galaxy S III General] erto90:
Enter rexovery

Wipe data/factory reset

Install rom

Install gapps

Reboot..

So easy..
[Galaxy S III General] cameracartwright:
I'm a total noob but I simply downloaded titanium and cwm and backed up everything then downloaded cm10.1 within the cwm app and installed from within the app it self. Make sure you select wipe data/cache if flashing from stock tho.

That's how I did it anyway.

:)

Sv: [ROM][GT-I9300][JB][4.2.2] CyanogenMod 10.1 official nightlies // discussion thre

You should wipe between installing xella and nightly, not just data/cache but format /system etc..that's what I always do anyway..you will still have all your photos left . I do this even when moving between touchwiz based roms.

Edit:I wouldn't install xella first, just format and install right away

Others may have opinions on this

Don't forget to boot after install cm then install gapps then fix permissions then boot.. Should make it clear then
[Galaxy S III General] Julianocas:
I'm asking this because the wifi, nfc, etc. problems...

And I don't care to lose photos, etc. I just want the cleanest installation...

I did the that overwrite but keeping Samsung installation, and I saw lots of Samsung folders as trash all over my internal memory...
[Galaxy S III General] ayoubij:
Hello, do nightlies come out every day? Im not asking for ETA, im just wondering because I remember readin this somewhere.

Even though some bugs here and there, and not the best battery life.. BUT I LOVE CM10.1 and RESPECT all the devs and team working on it :good:

---------- Post added at 01:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:16 AM ----------

Hey buddy, when i installed CM10.1 i was previously on custom 4.1.2 Rom and i downlaoded mega wipe script which formats your whole phone.It will delete everything in your phone and will bring it to bare bones. After it install any ROM for a fresh experience without any conflicts with in the frame work.It deletes the Data, Cache, System and Preload partitions of your internal memory. So Beware!

Just make sure you have your latest CWM recovery installed before. Install this mega wipe and then make sure you have the CM10.1 Rom and gapps on your external sd card :)

Thats the cleanest i believe it can get,,,
[Galaxy S III General] cameracartwright:
I've found they come out most days but occasionally miss a day or two I think there made every day for some devices
[Galaxy S III General] ayoubij:
Btw, why isnt SuperSU the default one on CM Rom, since superuser causes many problems and wasnt updated a very long time ago :confused:
[Galaxy S III General] FlaffyM:
Because supersu is not open source.
[Galaxy S III General] oae08:
I dont know what you mean but i think chainfire wont mind :p supersu is also better for me than superuser and im using it right now.

[Galaxy S III General] cameracartwright:
Weird one here when using the stock web browser 24/2 cm nightly I found random black square on some web browsers with an 'x' ???? Look like pop up ads but they were also on Google homepage so I guess they can't be? Anyone any ideas? Lil

Thanks
[Galaxy S III General] svetloslav:
If you want a rock solid and a simple solution, just get latest Philz touch CWM and get the Megawipe.zip. Go to recovery.

*Flash Philz CWM (and keep it up to date in future because it is the best CWM)

*Flash the Megawipe

*Flash latest Nightly

If you are concerned about your battery life, can go without gapps and don't mind installing your favorite apps manually (after leeching to a PC), just reboot and start using, it will be the cleanest possible CM installation ever and battery would last for ages.

Else if you are dependent on google junk and the play store, go the extra step:

*Flash latest gapps

and than reboot and start using.
[Galaxy S III General] oae08:
I never knew you can flash CM only without gapps. This gives me a thought, can i choose which gapps to flash? What to change if so as there are some gapps i never use.
[Galaxy S III General] SUer:
If you crack open the Gapps package then of course you can. Open the Gapps with Winrar and take out what you don't need. However I think you need to sign it again afterwards, and I don't think that's all that easy.

Sent from my Nexus 7
[Galaxy S III General] oae08:
Hmm, so what should i do? There are some apps that i never use such as "News and weather" or "talk" and some others. If there is a relatively easy way to not install them that would be great !

EDIT: i found in the gapps.zip file i have installed on my phone "photosphere however i cant find it anywhere on the phone itself :S
[Galaxy S III General] :
Just delete unwanted apps after installation (I use roomtoolbox pro)
[Galaxy S III General] respider:
how do I remove a custom kernel I currently use to use CM default instead?

just flash CM zip?
[Galaxy S III General] c_tho:
yeah, or root app delete is good too.
[Galaxy S III General] :
Yep
[Galaxy S III General] ThunderBolt_BR:
Yes, hardmober...
[Galaxy S III General] pickandwhammy:
You'll rarely need to flash Gapps, only when you upgrade to CM11, or wipe /system for some reason. So going through the trouble of modifying the zip isn't very useful, IMHO.

Just use TiBkp and freeze/uninstall the apps you don't use.
[Galaxy S III General] KrewsialNL:
Before I go back to CM, can anybody verify if it's possible to make conference calls on the latest nightly? (Or cm10.1 in general)

I have some this afternoon, so im waiting with flashing :D
[Galaxy S III General] pickandwhammy:
I've seen the options, but never had a chance to try them out. Don't have two scapegoats available right now to test either :D
[Galaxy S III General] oae08:
Hey buddy and for everyone who having adb problems, i think this might be solved in 26th nighty. :D

Then, to be in the safe side...ill wait with flashing until after my meetings :D

Thanks anyway ;)
[Galaxy S III General] DarkSofter:
Am I the only one with a laggy phone after the 24th nightly? Maybe because siyah is not supported or who knows... unusable

Took the plunge anyway.

Conference calling works like a charm :D
[Galaxy S III General] Erahgon:
So... I'm using the stock based Omega ROM and it comes with a few apps from the 4.x file dumps. One thing I noticed while using the 4.x camera is, that it has the touch to focus bug, which seems to be the exact same bug occurring in CM for some people. I have the zd class of camera firmware BTW.

What I'm trying to point out is that, the bug seems to be from the app itself.

I tap to focus, flash comes on, it focuses, I take a picture, picture is taken without the flash, camera hangs, flash occurs randomly, FCs.

I apologize if this has been pointed out already. Just trying to help in any way I can.

---------- Post added at 02:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:38 PM ----------

That's the spirit! :)
[Galaxy S III General] ashramrak:
touch to focus /w flash enabled never been an issue for me

in fact never had any single issue using camera... except for "can't connect to camera" but only when I use say camerazoomFX then quit and immediately launch default CM app; and that makes perfect sense to me

I guess I'm lucky... (ZDFE02 firmware I think)

[Galaxy S III General] LeoViotti:
This SDS affects the "Internal SD" or just the external removable one? I've been using CM on the S3 since it first came out, June last year, and I've never flashed anything other than CM since then, which means I probably have the very first bootloader... Any reason I should worry about this?

Everything works "perfectly" since ever, apart from the laggy graphics and eventual camera crashes, and I'm not massively worried about the phone either (looks like ****, bezel broken, scratched, etc, it's been a hard life hehe), but I wouldn't like it to be the first one to die on my hands... Specially before I can see some really superior replacement around - I hate "sidegrades".

Grazie
[Galaxy S III General] karwankar:

2. INSTALLED 24TH NIGHTLY

3. INSTALLED GAPPS

FORMATED EXTERNAL SD CARD

STILL PHONE HANGS........(:
[Galaxy S III General] cameracartwright:
Why did you change the base band/modem?? This may be the issue but I'm not 100%
[Galaxy S III General] ashramrak:
same here

switching to main cam then to front cam again solves it
[Galaxy S III General] pickandwhammy:
SDS is due to eMMC failure, not a particular partition. As for old bootloader, unless you use Download Mode you're safe.

Your phone might be experiencing SDS symptoms. If you formatted everything as you said you did there's literally nothing left but firmware and hardware that are the cause.
[Galaxy S III General] AaronMichael:
My Galaxy S3 screen just suddenly flashes purple and goes dark! Phone works but the screen is dead. Could this be cm? Scratch that definitely hardware

EDIT: It came back on but I'm scared :'( Advice?

Further details: I didn't do anything to the phone ever since I got back from class today. I then picked up the phone and opened up Instagram. The screen flickered, then distorts, then splits in half and had a dark magenta/pinkish purple tint over it. After that, POOF. dead.

The phone is still awake and I can feel haptic feedback and hear sounds, but the screen is just blank. Did a number of battery pull but still nothing. Finally after awhile of battery pulling and letting it sit for a few seconds off, I powered on the device and I could see some sort of grey tint on the screen where I was met with a very vague but still visible boot animations. After about 3 seconds, it improves and I pushed slightly on the screen and noticed it helped, so I pushed on it further to help it out and it just turned back to normal everything turned out fine. What could be the problem with it?
[Galaxy S III General] karwankar:
Whats solution?

My dear whats solution?
[Galaxy S III General] mdfpido:
What do you mean by that, sir? I'm really clueless here. Why and how does Download Mode be unsafe to use if you're on old bootloader?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S III General] cba1986:
Camera for me has been an issue since day one. First i had to replace the cam firmware every time i flashed new nightly because of the firmware until CM updated the Firmware. Second i could never use touch to focus with flash. (To make it work i had to make a picture with touch to focus without flash first).

My firmware is GDFI02.

But i realize this isn't CM fault. Is it Samsung fault for nit releasing the proper documentation.

Having read a few recent comments about megawipe, I decided to back all my wanted files to external SD, backup user apps with TiBu (to external SD), do a megawipe, flash latest nightly (and gapps) from external sd and restore everything. (I already had latest Philz recovery) I also installed the updated camera firmware zip that someone kindly posted here recently. Then, as some have advised, I took a photo on auto flash without TTF followed by taking a photo with TTF and no issues whatsoever now! I took pictures in very low light as that was causing crashes before and still no issues. Plus everything is smooth as hell! Love it.

Are we still on the Touch to Focus subject? As long as Samsung doesn't come with solid sources..there's nothing we can do I guess.

Did anybody ever notice this happens when using any other camera app, aside from stock one on the Stock Sammy roms as well?

Instagram, Camera360, etc.. they all have the touch to focus bug, on stock samsung (crapwhiz).

Or at least on my phone that is... ;)

Calling anyone who can best interpret this BBS reading.

Does this mean that GTalk is eating much of my battery even if I never touched since forever? Would you suggest a freeze or a complete uninstall?
[Galaxy S III General] KrewsialNL:
Yes.

Use Greenify from the market to disable it when the phone is asleep.
[Galaxy S III General] clamitas:
Yes it really eats a lot of battery, even if you're not logged in. If you doesn't use it, then freeze or uninstall it. I have it frozen and don't have those wakelocks anymore.
[Galaxy S III General] mdfpido:
It says System app is impossible to greenify. I think I may have to use TiBU for this.

[Galaxy S III General] Seraphic:
Many thanks to codeworkx for resolving the audio after bluetooth call bug - that was a major win for me :)

Found what I think might be another bug, though not sure if this is CM10.1 specific:

Within the Google+ instant upload options, if you enable the option to only upload photos when connected to a charger, it smashes the phone with android.content.syncmanager.SYNC_ALARM wakeups and murders battery life (quite ironic I think). Disabling this option returns the phone to normal.

Not a massive problem but still odd :)
