Is it possible to change the baseband version of the rom in cm or does it come with the rom? Is XELLA the baseband version for the latest nightlie?
[Galaxy S III General] bloot:
Yes, daylight photos are equal to sammy stock now, but I have not found the proper settings for taking photos at night yet, they aren't close at all.
[Galaxy S III General] LenAsh:
No modem provided with CM - it will use whatever you already have (with recent RIL lib files - XXDLIB).

Just use one of the Modem + RIL CWM files to set your own. Which will then remain (the modem) after flash but you should reflash to ensure matching RIL files again (unless your modem of choice is XXDLIB of course!).
[Galaxy S III General] jshashwat93:
So baseband version means which modem we have? What is the difference between RIL and modem ?
[Galaxy S III General] TecQuality:
You can flash whatever you need/want :)

A Radio Interface Layer (RIL) is a layer in an operating system which provides an interface to the hardware's radio and modem on the phone.

They are thought to perform better if the RIL and the modem match, generally, but this not always the case.

I generally prefer to use the latest version, but I've personally never found any difference in connection between various modems I've tried, so YMMV.
[Galaxy S III General] LenAsh:
Baseband ~ modem

RIL (Radio Interface Layer) files are the "links" between the modem and the core system. Although opinions vary, the modem and their RIL lib files (3 files) should "match".

Once you flash the modem you could use GetRIL to match the modem and RIL files or just use the CWM combined modem/ril zip of your choice.
[Galaxy S III General] jshashwat93:
Ok one more stupid question but gotta ask to be sure. The baseband version has nothing to do with whether your phone is protected from SDS or not right?

Is there a way to remove accelerometer delay (lag), for instance when shifting from portrait to landscape and vise versa? The delay is little but I remember there was a way on i9000. Thanks...
[Galaxy S III General] svetloslav:
I used to think like you, but than somebody mentioned the newest XXEMB5 modem was performing good, so I tried it. Boy, what a difference, together with a matching ril this is the best my phone has worked on calls, including since the days I was on stock.

Nowadays I think there is no real importance if the modem was released for a particular network/country. What I believe is that with each new modem version Samsung revises parts. Sometimes the improvement is insignificant, other times it is a bit more, of course miracles are impossible, but improvements similar to the results after updates in kernel, cam firmware and graph drivers are pretty logical to expect.

[Galaxy S III General] donalgodon:
I just find that turning off the backlight entirely is far better for me, something that Samdung does not allow at all, because I know where the touch areas of the buttons are by now, and I don't need the lights, not ever. In fact, I find that they just annoy and distract me.

---------- Post added at 08:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:41 PM ----------

Not saying that the newest modem and RIL is bad, because it's not, but I'm just saying that, on my carrier at least, I switched a few times to the RIL and modem for my region, and got no change in speeds or roll-down after several tests. I just stick with the newer ones because I figure Samdung might have fixed something.
[Galaxy S III General] pickandwhammy:
And I've been on this one forever, never flashed different modems (read "matched RILs" ) and never had any problems or poor connectivity either.

Hi,

What would be the recommended modem before installing cyanogenmod?

I currently have XXEMB1.

People in this thread are having XXEMB5

There is also a JB one: XXUFMB3

Is there a recommended modem for CM 10.1?

I am still having problems with car bluetooth and trying to resolve it...

And can someone tell me about the battery life?

I dont want better thn stock roms but it will be great even if its almost equal to stock roms battey life.
[Galaxy S III General] degiovab:
Modem is unrelated to the rom, so your request is off topic.

You have to try different modems (depending on your operator/geography) and select by yourself.

Touch2Focus Bug in camera..... and FM Radio is not supported .....
[Galaxy S III General] LenAsh:
Camera is now fine particularly in good lighting, lots of recent evidence including some superb photos a few pages back by a guy in Barcelona. Alternatively, use the Huawei AOSP version as others have done. Very good app.

FM Radio works perfectly as always with Spirit FM by Mike Reid - this now includes a digital audio option so you can apply sound tweaks using the CM DSP Manager.

Battery wise, the recent kernel update to 3.0.64 and some other updates have made the battery life pretty damn good, like for like with stock. Overnight deep sleep in airplane mode for me is 2% in 10 hours.

IIRC the only 2 "will never work" aspects are MHL and exFAT. Personally they are of no consequence to me, but may be for others.
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Is the great Mr. Ash back on CM with that note? ^^
[Galaxy S III General] LenAsh:
Aye, for a few days now. MB5 plus JKay is great, but CM10.1, even in the last couple of weeks, has become a vastly better option than it was.

[Galaxy S III General] dfarrelly90:
Looking to update to this from 4.0.4. Do I download from the 2 links for nightly builds and google apps?? Put these on the external SD card and do the wipes and flash both to the phone?

PS. I'm in Ireland, if that makes any difference
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Sounds about right, yeah. CM will not recognize your SD card, though, if it's formatted to exFAT.

Are you aware of all the bugs aosp has?
[Galaxy S III General] dfarrelly90:
How do I figure out how my SD card is formatted?

I'm not aware? What is aosp? Sorry now I'm at a basic level :(
[Galaxy S III General] thegh0sts:
pie launcher?? oh?
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
CM is aosp (android open source project)

And for this device there are camera problems etc.
[Galaxy S III General] ballsofsteel:
When you connect your phone to your computer it should tell you what file system it is. (my computer > choose your sd card> properties) if it is FAT32 then you're good to go, otherwise you will have to erase everything and make the card FaT32
[Galaxy S III General] dfarrelly90:
Would it be worth getting? Is it difficult to flash both things to the phone?
[Galaxy S III General] pickandwhammy:
AOSP: Android Open Source Project. Most custom ROMs are AOSP-based whereas stock ROMs aren't - they modify the framework.

Forget external SD - put them on your internal memory. Much faster.

For file system: type "mount" in terminal, look for /storage/sdcard1.

If you can follow instructions exactly, you should have no trouble.
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
In my opinion, no. While CM does look and feel a whole lot better than stock, it's not worth giving stock up for all the bugs CM/aosp has.
[Galaxy S III General] dfarrelly90:
Okay thanks, so you flash both zips BEFORE doing a wipe? Just asking as it's not what I have done before.
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Before or after doesn't really matter so long as you wipe data before the final reboot. (after a successful flash)
[Galaxy S III General] Kapiljhajhria:
I dont use radio...dont care about ex fat bug...also dont care about tv out bug..only two concerns...battery and camera...camera as u pointed out is OK now...and also another app fro camera...so camera area is also fine for me....remaining is battery...which i will see in this week...have installed latest cm10 nightly...any advice or suggestion for battery? Have not installed any mod or kernel...everything is cm. I love cm ROMs. Had it in my galaxy ace. Only thing which made me go back to stock was messaging app and access points. But now i don't use messaging app so much and also have one permanent carrier.

One more question too many icons in app drawer. Any way to make folder?

Also is there any way to enable home screen looping? I couldn't find any option in settings

google play store

i just updated to cm-10.1-20130329-NIGHTLY-i9300 . is there any1 having bug on google play store? it cant be opened. once opened, it would forced closed. ive tried to wipe cache and uninstall google play store and reinstall back. but still the google play store buggy.
[Galaxy S III General] Kapiljhajhria:
No problem on my device.

Maybe you flashed wrong gapps

Or maybe ur play store is getting updated. Whenever my play store updates and i am using it while its updating it crashes. Open it after few seconds. If its still crashing then update is not the problem. Maybe wrong gapps or something else.

---------- Post added at 05:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:05 PM ----------

Mine is working absolutely fine. Reinstall titanium backup maybe it will solve the problem.
[Galaxy S III General] intersel:
Thank you for fast feedback. Is there a way i can uninstall all gapps and reinstalling back? If there is a way can show me how? Or just simply flash gapps(without uninstalling it)?
[Galaxy S III General] ballsofsteel:
Have you tried clearing data yet?
[Galaxy S III General] _delice_doluca_:
Camera was main concern too. Actually I have waited till CM team has fixed the sound recording of the device (it was working distorted and the videos were broken as well as Google Now).

Since then I have been using CM 10.1 as daily driver. The camera app (interface only now the quality) was the only thing I liked about Samsung ROM. Now I can tell the quality is better because of the success rate. In Samsung ROMs, the flash was problematic all the time. If I shot 10 pictures with flash all of them had different levels of lightning due to the unstable flash timing. Now I have flashed Huawei Camera throught CWM and it is super. In day light conditions there is no difference with stock camera of Samsung. Actually CM is even better at image stabilisation and the photos are more trustable. I was taking 5-10 photos of everything when I had Samsung ROM to make sure I get at least one balanced and un-shaky photo but now I just take it on CM. Maybe the size and the quality is %5-10 lower (not %10 definetely) on low light conditions but the reliability is perfect with 3rd party apps and Huawei Cam. Only problem is the original CM cams scenarios(like "night", "sports", etc.) are not working. They used to work, I do not know what broke them.

For the battery time; I have installed SetCPU 3 for setting "offscreen" CPU behaviour to 500 Mhz (700 when there is a call) for saving and also set the bottom limit to 300 Mhz for smoothness. My 3g is on all the time and there are many accounts syncing, with many games, web surfing, music listening on auto brightness and full stock CM I got 11 hours of full charge time, 4:10 of it was screen on. Considering I played games and I was outdoor, pushing the auto brightness to a high level, I believe I would get the same battery time from the stock too. I have seen worse times with stock to be honest.

My next hope is finding an app like "Stamina mod" of Sony to set each apps permissions. CM has very fewer background services compared to "stuffed" Samsung ROMs, but still many things are trying to reach to internet and I would certainly want to prevent my e-mail servise from syncing automatically at nights..

Edit: Sorry I forgot this is S3 topic, I have a Note 2. But everything I said about camera goes here too, even though the battery story may be different.
[Galaxy S III General] blazevxi:
As far as I can tell, the camera works fine for me. If I take a photo without T2F, anything after that works perfectly until I close the camera. So everytime I open it, I just do that and it's all fine. Can't see any difference between stock and cm in regard to quality

no difference
[Galaxy S III General] bortak:
Yup. You're deleting everything off of your phone anyway, so why would it make a difference? :eek:
[Galaxy S III General] ptiloubar:
I believed deleting everything to be impossible. Even with a full wipe, your personal data stays on the internal storage.

Thank you anyway.

Another thing that I noticed this evening. On my wallpaper, some areas have a very bad look (particularly dark areas, some parts seem to litterally be missing), which I do not see on my tablet (both running the latest nightly, same WP). I tried to take a screenshot, but on the screenshot, the areas affected look as smooth as on my tablet once uploaded. This is very strange. I tried to tweak a few things in the settings, without success for the moment.
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
A full wipe as you call it wipes /data but spares /data/media/0. To wipe it, choose to format the internal sd card in the recovery of your choice.
[Galaxy S III General] oae08:
Just use mega wipe script (search on threads). It will delete everything ;)
[Galaxy S III General] ptiloubar:
Thank you, but deleting everything is not my question. I wondered if anything from the previous ROM would be left behind. The answer is no :)

It really seems my phone is unable to display some colors. I tried every color-related setting without success, I will flash back the previous nightly to compare...

EDIT : Not nightly-related. But I think I did something wrong in developers options. Simulated screen is bad.

EDIT2 : What is "Simulate secondary screen" in developer options ? It messed badly with my phone (wild reboots). Solved all issues by booting in safe mode, but it scared the hell out of me :)
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
I never rely on scripts to wipe stuff for me. I'd prefer wiping manually and that's what I'd recommend.
[Galaxy S III General] pickandwhammy:
You can most definitely wipe everything if you have root access. And try Settings > Advanced > Screen > Scenario.
[Galaxy S III General] ptiloubar:
Thank you. It did not work though. It happens only with one of my WPs. It is fine on my PC, fine on my GTab2, crappy on my GS3... I will just change WP as a workaround. Shame, it was my favourite one :(

[Galaxy S III General] ptiloubar:
When you have over 30Gb data, it can be quite hard to determine precisely what is causing havoc in mediaserver. Would a video file that the gallery cannot read (but MX player can) be enough to put mediaserver into orbit ?

I also want to reduce mediaserver consumption, I am trying to put .nomedia files all over my folders on my external storage right now, and see what comes out.
[Galaxy S III General] oae08:
When you have over 30gb of data ofcourse media server will work more. Or you expect it detects your data by magic? However if its abnormally more, you can use media scanner root in playstore
[Galaxy S III General] estpoc:
Newer versions of android scan but don't show with .nomedua so its pointless for media scanner problems.
[Galaxy S III General] ptiloubar:
If i understood correctly, a .nomedia file removes a folder from mediaserver scan.

I have already excluded : 2Gb Titanium Backup, 3Gb CWM backup, 4Gb Comics (pictures/PDF that show into gallery), 15Gb Videos (I was suspecting some gallery-unreadable video files), Downloads folder

I cannot exclude : 5Gb Music (cannot put this out of mediaserver scan :) ), a few Mbs of pictures

I hope this is enough, but mediaserver was still around 14% today.

I applied the nomedia frenzy today evening, so I will check it out tomorrow.

What freaks me out is that there is almost the same contents on my tablet external storage, and mediaserver does not show up in battery consumption, or up to 3% on this device.

EDIT : So it seems I was wrong with nomedia files. Crap. I will figure something out. Tomorrow.
