Cyandelta

Cyandelta Updater unable to update the latest nightlies, it does everything from updating the new nightly to adding the new nightly, but when I press Install Zip, it goes to the recovery mode and no file found error is shown. I donno what has happened to the CWM recovery...unable to view any folders as well. I have to install the latest nightlies through the ROM manager again and again.

CWM Version - 6.0.3.1

Nightly - cm-10.1-20130528-NIGHTLY-i9300.zip

In the ROM manager it shows Recovery Already Installed

1. CWM Recovery

2. TWRP

What to do?
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Cyandelta is not officially supported = no help.
[Galaxy S III General] ateam55:
Echoing others, there is likely a guide somewhere on the Forums. What you could do is do a full backup when you first go into Recovery (as per the guide) and then flash CM10.1. That would give you the chance to go back to TouchWiz, should you ever need it.
[Galaxy S III General] pickandwhammy:
This does not pertain to CyanogenMod in any way, but since you're a Junior member, here's your answer: Cyandelta passes a wrong argument in the script to recovery, that is on the lines of

"install /sdcard/Cyandelta/xyz.zip"

Whereas in recovery "/sdcard" points to "data/media", so it should actually be

"install /sdcard/0/Cyandelta/xyz.zip"

That's why you'll never get a successful install via Cyandelta. I'd recommend writing your own ORS and using it every time you want to flash.
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
ORS = open recovery script?
[Galaxy S III General] pickandwhammy:
Yep! :)

Two Recovery Installed

In my ROM Manager it shows two recovery already installed

1. ClockworkMod Recovery

2. Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP)

1. Is this a major problem?

2. How can I uninstall TWRP?
[Galaxy S III General] pickandwhammy:
You can't possibly have two recoveries installed.

Also, I don't think any app running on the Android OS can figure out which recovery you have, because all they'll see is recovery.img or boot.img (an image file, like an ISO).

So what ROM Manager is probably showing you is the options of recovery that it supports, and is asking you to choose between the two, possibly because they don't have a common script between them.

Apps like ROM Manager/Cyandelta don't have any "special" connection to recovery, they just create a script and save it somewhere, for example for ORS, it's:

/cache/recovery/openrecoveryscript

Once this is saved and you ask the ROM to reboot into recovery, the recovery will process the script and execute it until it fails. If it all succeeds, recovery will then reboot to Android. That's how automation is achieved.

So the app needs to know which recovery (CWM-based or TWRP-based) you're using to write the corresponding script.

Also - this is my last response to you on this thread. Take it to the right place, please. Enough of off-topic discussions, mods are going to kill me now :D
[Galaxy S III General] Lucasm93:
Thanks to the people who replied about the issue where my pc would not recognize my phone and the other way around. But I still haven't made it work.

I've seen some posts complaining about battery life and I too experience heavy battery drain. "Android OS" shows up as the big problem in my case, always above 40% of battery drain coming from it. Already tried factory reset and changing kernels, nothing seems to work. With CM10.1 I'm having 5 hours of battery life with light usage and sync on, while connected to the wifi. With Omega ROM last week I was able to have 10 hours of battery life with almost 3 hours of screen on time. Not amazing, but much better, and I think it shows that the problem is not my battery. Does anyone have any idea on how to fix this? Wiping some particular partition and doind a new fresh install? I'm loving the fluidity of this ROM and did not want to get back to touchwiz.

Thanks in advance to those who answer this so frequently asked question.

[Galaxy S III General] slaid480:

Btw I'm a moderate-heavy user and my battery lasts for 24h and I'm getting pretty the same drain as stock.

You have to know how to deal with google services/wakelocks.
[Galaxy S III General] Ciebiada:
People tend to overestimate the "screen on" time score, but don't forget that when you are listening to the music on your phone it wrecks that time pretty badly, and I don't know how about you, but to me one of the main parts of that phone is using it as a mp3 player.
[Galaxy S III General] pickandwhammy:
See, I have days when I'm constantly on the phone, with 3G on, in direct sunlight (high brightness) and my battery drains in 5-6 hours. I've also had days when it goes beyond 30 hours. What matters is whether your battery drains in the background.

Ideally you should use BBS, but if you're not a hardcore techie, try switching off data/WiFi and keeping your phone off-charge at night. Check the drop in percentage the next day, it shouldn't be more than 2-3% max. If that's true, your drain is perfectly normal.

Rest depends entirely on your usage.
[Galaxy S III General] aarriiaann:
First of all my 3G is always off because in my contry we do not have 3G yet.

Last night i had data/WiFi off and for 7 hours during sleep i lost 5%.

During nights i usually lose 5-9%.
[Galaxy S III General] pickandwhammy:
Ah, so you have a significant drain! Unfortunately, to identify it, you will have to use BBS, so I recommend going through their thread to understand what will seem like weird-as-sh*t Greek output.
[Galaxy S III General] Proday:
This is my first time that Im using cyanogen (and asop at all) and im totally in love with it!! Now im thinking to switch s3 for lg nexus.

I put cm 10.1 on my galaxy s3 and i got tottaly another phone. Only problem that have with cm is quiet sound (especially media; u can hear sound when slider is on more than half position), and not so gr8 camera performance, but I can live with that!!

Tnx for this build cm team and keep goin :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S III General] ayoubij:
True. I wish if they can only fix or tweak the sound, this rom will definitely become perfect. Camera is working flawlessly and im shooting awesome pictures. Only problem is the low sound.
[Galaxy S III General] Moster2:
What do you need that loud sound for? Usually my phone isnt that far away that I would not hear it and especially Im using vibration most of the time :D (that is what could be fixed in my eyes. vibration isnt that strong, although set to 100%)
[Galaxy S III General] ayoubij:
Man sometimes the phone is in my pocket but im in a crowded place and I cant even hear it when it rings.
[Galaxy S III General] tontiv:
wow that's really a small drain for you! do you have gapps? what apps do you have that sync in the background?
[Galaxy S III General] pickandwhammy:
None. As I said, data/WiFi off.

Even otherwise, most of my background apps utilise push rather than poll (the ones that poll, like Facebook, have been Greenified).
[Galaxy S III General] dyval:
I was able to resolve the low volume on CM10.1. I used Siyah kernel and on Stweaks I increased the volume output for speakers and headset. Believe it or not I'm very well satisfied with the increase in the volume/output.

Problems with music in external SD

So...After searching,trying and failing too much for my taste,I decided to post here as I can't think of a better place to ask.Short version of the problem is,I keep all my music in my external SD (It's a total of a little over 9GB) but ever since I fed up with stock-based ROMs and switched to CM-based ROMs music players can't find my music anymore,unless I copy it to the internal SD.What's (too) strange is that pictures and videos show up normally everywhere,so it's just music.

Long version:

I started off with CarbonROM (Some nightly) and its built-in kernel and had this problem.I'm primarily using PowerAmp,but have Apollo and PlayerPro installed just to have variety.The microSD I use is a Samsung 32gb class 10 formatted to exFAT (Yeah,I know exFAT doesn't work on CM and stuff,but I use this and it does).At first I was sure that exFAT was to blame,so I tried with another card (Couldn't be bothered to copy over 25gb of data 2 times) that I formatted to FAT32 and put only my music in there.Sadly,the problem persisted.SInce then I have tried other ROMs(A couple of CM nightlies,PACMan ROM nightlies,you name it,plus stable versions of some of these ROMs),other kernels (CM stock kernel,Devil Kernel,Temasek's kernel and MAYBE Googy kernel,I'm not sure),binding my music folder with FolderMount from the Play Store to a folder in my internal SD and some other stuff.NOTHING worked.Nothing.If I use a file browser to open the songs by hand they play fine everywhere.Songs I copy over to the internal SD show up fine,but there aren't even close to 9gb of space in there.Deleting enough songs so that they'll fit in the internal storage isn't an option sadly.

So...Any help is really appreciated guys,before I decide to throw the S3 out of the window.Thanks in advance and sorry for the long post. :)
[Galaxy S III General] Moster2:
Most likely the camera does not support them. This is a general CM update(some devices might support those resolutions). At least this is what Im thinking
[Galaxy S III General] scoobyjenkins:
Sounds like you've tried lots of things! I won't pretend to know the cause of the issue, or a definite solution but what I can say is that I keep all music, photos, videos on my external SD and have no issues. I did have an issue with my card unmounting/ remounting everytime my phone was woken but got a replacement SD and so far so good. My set up is just cyanogenmod with no tweaks at all. My SD card came in fat32 and I didn't format it, just put all my files on there. I was using Google Play Music but it kept playing tracks out of order and stopping so I switched to Apollo and it's great.

I would suggest backing up whatever, wiping everything and starting from scratch (leaving your ext SD alone as long as it's fat32 of course). If you format system, data, etc, you'll want a cm nightly ready on the ext SD and gapps if you want them. I hope you get it sorted!

[Galaxy S III General] pickandwhammy:
Why don't you just use Poweramp? Or any other player that manages its own library. I've been a hard core Poweramp fan and I've never had any issues with music on external card, in fact I'VE put a .nomedia file in there to prevent cover JPEGs from flooding the gallery.
[Galaxy S III General] tolis626:
I don't think there is a point in starting from scratch as I don't see how these things can be related to each other,but if there is no other solution I'll try.I got nothing to lose (But time!).Thanks man! :)

Seems you didn't read my post entirely.I mainly use PowerAmp,as I have for the past 2 years.I just keep a couple of other musis players installed just for the heck of it.

Now that you mentioned it though,in PowerAmp's music folder selection it shows that a storage device has been unmounted,so I guess it has something to do with the problem...
[Galaxy S III General] donalgodon:
The strange thing is that our camera does support six megapixels.

I think it's best you go back to stock and save yourself all these hassles at least on stock everything works camera, sd card etc.
[Galaxy S III General] tolis626:
You really think you should suggest that as a solution in this thread?I don't think so.Anyway,I'm not an inexperienced user,the problem is just too persistent.But even if I don't solve it,I'm not going back to stock ROMs.The speed difference is night and day.Plus,AOSP ROMs work pretty much ok for me and stock ROMs aren't without issues.
[Galaxy S III General] zelendel:
Have you tried setting the music folder manually in apps like power amp?
[Galaxy S III General] tolis626:
Yep.It only shows the internal sd twice (/storage/emulated/0 and /storage/emulated/legacy).It also shows a warning that some storage(s) were unmounted.What's strangest of all is that if I,say,bind (Using FolderMount) my /storage/sdcard1/Music folder to /storage/emulated/0/Music the songs do show up in the internal sd folder using a file explorer but music players still fail to find them,even if I point them (When possible,as is the case with PowerAmp) to /storage/emulated/0/Music and/or /storage/emulated/legacy/Music.
[Galaxy S III General] zelendel:
When I had the S3 I had to point it to to the external sd but it was one directory down and not in storage. If you use something like root explorer and look in the base folder you should see storage, system, and ExtSD.
[Galaxy S III General] tolis626:
You are right,but that's just a symlink to /storage/sdcard1,so no difference.Thanks though :)
[Galaxy S III General] zelendel:
It was the only way I could get power amp to see my external.
[Galaxy S III General] tolis626:
Just to make it clear,what did you do?In PowerAmp you probably went to Settings->Folders->Music folders and it was there,I suppose?That's not the case here,sadly.
[Galaxy S III General] zelendel:
Yeah pretty much. Not sure why it is not working for you though. You dont have the sd card partitioned or anything right? Not using the folder mount for anything else?
[Galaxy S III General] tolis626:
No,nothing like that.And it's happening with 2 microSDs,so it's not my particular card...
[Galaxy S III General] zelendel:
Ok last ditch effort. Have you tried putting the SD card in the device, formatting it in the device and them coping the music over?

Wayne Tech Nexus
[Galaxy S III General] tolis626:
Not the particular card,but I did try with another,freshly formatted card.
[Galaxy S III General] pickandwhammy:
So we have the following possibile suspects:

Device

ROM (also kernel)

SDCARD

Try different combinations? Like same card in another device with the same ROM, same card in same device with stock ROM, etc.

Then this night: went to bed with 2 percent battery and after 6 hours charging I wake up with 1 percent.. After a restart I could load the battery up again..

I'm always trying to be on the latest nightly..
[Galaxy S III General] ptiloubar:
It is likely your plug or your data cable is dead, or almost dead.

Connect your phone to a computer with your data cable. Is the computer able to detect your device? Is your device charging at a normal rate (15% to 100% in about 3.5 hours for a USB charge)? this way you can check your data cable.

If your data cable is OK, check the plug by trying another plug. If the phone charges normally (15% to 100% in about 2.5 hours), it is very likely your plug is dead.

You may also want to charge another device with your plug to sort it out.

If your plug seems okay (charging another device), if your data cable is okay too, then your phone has an internal problem. It may be the battery or the USB connector. But I think your plug and/or data cable is faulty. My cable caused problems 5 months after buying my phone, and I replaced it (charge was slow). Now everything is fine.

About my battery problems:

I installed BBS and it was showing a deleted stats wakelock as the big player in my battery drain. My phone had an almost 70% awake time even when the screen on time was only 10% due to that issue. In the BBS github that wakelock was explained as wakelocks that had their stats deleted (obviously), and thus they could not say for sure what caused them. They explained though that bad wifi behavior due to some drivers and suff like that was usually the causer of that problem. Since I got home the battery seems to be back to normal, so I'll wait to see if it's magically fixed or if I can give more details. I thought it could be because I moved straight from Sammy 4.1 (omega) to CM10.1 even though it's stated that I should revert to ICS first.
