I can suggest 2 things.

1. Try another kernel. I know redundant but still... I want to rule out driver problem since 2.8 had kernel change.

2. There are build.Prop tweaks for better speed. They are on this thread. Please try them.

3. Off chance but did art had any changes? I know they throttle after X GB limit is reached.

Which is the last version to use a 3.0 kernel?

Sent from Planet Vegeta
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LuigiBull23:
3.4
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] popimp315:
Every version of this ROM uses the 3.4 kernel?

Sent from Planet Vegeta
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LuigiBull23:
My apologies. I should have been more specific. Each version listed in OP is based off the 3.4 kernel. I believe v2.1-RC2 was the last 3.0 version. I don't quite remember exactly. Maybe someone else can clarify if I'm wrong.

EDIT: Yup.. v2.1-RC2 does appear to be the last 3.0 version. Just had to revert to [MENTION=1960167]mt3g[/MENTION]'s version to confirm my theory lol
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
Ya rc2 was the last one, still MY favorite and most stable (for me) version lol.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LuigiBull23:
It's been sitting on my sd card since you released it for that very reason lol. Out of date yet extremely stable. Most of the current AOSP ROMS still don't stack up to this in my honest opinion.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] taco7712:
Could you upload that for us?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LuigiBull23:
No need to bro. Both mt3g and myself uploaded it around April/May. Just use the search bar.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Me neither. But I know for a fact its there. So is Panorama & HDR. Note its the next gen Photosphere. See this thread for Support & Details.

I agree on stability. I too have it on my NAS. I just checked, Goo doesn't have it but the old download links are fine.

Barcode Scanner Non-Op

The "Barcode Scanner" app will not run under 2.8. When activated, the phone become unresponsive for about 30 secs, then the scanner screen appears, but

all green

and locks up on that screen. Only hard reboot can return phone to operational state.

I cleared the app memory and cache; uninstalled; in recov - cleared dalvik & cache / fix perms; and re-installed...

twice

... No joy.

I flashed back to 2.7 to validate... works fine there.

Would you guys verify for me in 2.8, if you have time? This particular one is needed for GAuthenticator... it's in the Play Store --> Barcode Scanner.

TIA
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sc2ascend:
Just tried it on my Wind S3 running 2.8 and it worked fine for me. Opened the camera scanned a book all was fine.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shenry1307:
Maybe it's my kernel... Which one are you using?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
I had identical symptoms with the Gallery after flashing standard Gapps. I defrosted SCAN and ShopSavy just to test right now. I also installed Barcode Scanner just now. Yes all 3 are working fine.

Back to my point, when I was having the green screen and Freezes, I had to go through a rigorous scrubbing. Factory Reset, Clear Dalvik & Cache > Flash Rom (to remove old kernel & Gapps), factory Reset Clear Dalvik & Cache > Flash rom Again > Test everything working > wipe Dalvik & Cache > Flash KT747 > Clear Dalvik & Cache Plus fix permissions > rebot and test > Flash Gapps > Test again.

I know I did a lot of possibly unneeded steps. But like you, just a simple clear won't cut it. Just to be on safer side, I didn't restore App data from my TiBU. Just apps. Yes I know its a pain. Better that or not have a Camera.

Just so we are clear, the same version KT747 and the same Gapps with 2.7 had no problems of any kind.

After all that, I still have FC Plus Freezes when I try to switch to Front Camera from back.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LuigiBull23:
I know what kernel you're running. You know what kernel I'm running (Who doesn't?). I use this app on a day to day basis and it has always responded flawlessly for me. That has not changed on v2.8. No lock ups whatsoever.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shenry1307:
Thanks, Perseus! Oddly enough, the camera works great... Even smoother than in 2.7. It's just that one app (so far) causing problems. I did restore fro TiBU, but deleted and installed fresh from Play.

I'm proceeding with your recommended steps... Be back soon... :good:

---------- Post added at 09:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:41 AM ----------

Lol! Thanks, Luigi, but that reply was for the new guy [MENTION=4530957]sc2ascend[/MENTION]. Good looking out, tho! :good:;)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LuigiBull23:
No.. That reply was in fact for you lol. Don't be confused by the post I quoted you with. You asked for clarification? Well you most certainly got it my friend! It's like mt3g and I always say... more often than not is it nothing but USER ERROR!

EDIT: [MENTION=3639717]Perseus71[/MENTION] before you add with some silly comment, forgive me for I have not had my morning coffee lol
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Well, actually I was going to let it go but since you can't live without my comment, I feel obliged... :laugh:

Unless we have more complaints on the Green screen and Freezes, I'd chalk it up to TiBU app Data Restore. Although it had been ok with previous versions, it does not seem to work this time. That in turn becomes User Error as MT3G and you said.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shenry1307:
:) Actually, my friend... My question, asking "which kernel..." was to (intended for) the new guy. :p But I agree that it's user error... I didn't follow my usual app recovery process.

But please, do

us

a favor & go have that coffee! LOL!

Its Friday for Crying out loud!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LuigiBull23:
Maybe this will help clarify things. I know who your question was directed towards. My response was to this lucid sentence. You should know me well enough by now to know that I will defend my kernel of choice for all intents and purposes :D
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shenry1307:
Yes sir, understood! :) KT is my kernel of choice as well... I was not blaming the kernel for the issue, but suspected that it was not playing nice with the TiBU-recovered app.

Nevertheless, after following Perseus' recommendation, all is well now. I chose to install both GAuth and Barcode Scanner directly from the PlayStore and both mother and child are doing fine! :laugh:

In addition, I have verified that gapps-jb42-20130524-AOSP-dmd151 definitely breaks

both

the Swype-like "gesture" typing and Google Search (but not Google Now). Since I've moved to SwiftKey, gesture doesn't matter, but I have to remove and re-install GSearch.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
The AOSP version is meant to support CM Camera. That's it. If you want the above 2 to play ball, you need the Google version of the same Gapps.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shenry1307:
Ah, gotcha... I kinda like SwiftKey now (plus, I've already bought it). Lol! Thanks, Perseus!

---------- Post added at 11:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:18 AM ----------

Have you heard of a fix for the TiBU issue? EDIT: I ask only because I can see the TiBU backups, but the app reports 0 found.

EDIT2: Nevermind, cleared...remove...re-install...fixed! :/
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] GenericAsianGuy:
Just curious, is anyone here using 2.1 RC2? How's the battery life, and what kernel are you using? :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Not to my knowledge. People on other Roms that did RESTORE ALL from TiBU after upgrade, paid dearly for that mistake. So That's out of question. So you may have to do case by case restore like I do.

At least I do not. I had used LeanKernel back when I was on 2.1. My battery life then was about 24 hours or so. But then I had not done any undervolting.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] wonderbread24:
I can't seem to figure out why the clock and battery icon have disappeared from the notification bar. I've gone through almost every menu I can find and nothing makes the battery icon come back. If I select hidden then show for the clock it comes back but after I restart it goes away again. I've searched through this thread and found nothing.

I did a clean install from TouchWiz to this, formatted data and everything. I also get a FC on location services as well... Should I just do a dirty flash to see if it fixes anything?

any input would be great, Thanks!

EDIT- Also flashed the latest KT747 kernel.

EDIT 2 - when I enable dark liquid the clock shows up...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
When you did a clean install, I assume you did clear Dalvik & Cache.

For the immediate issues, try a factory reset and then reboot to see if the icon comes back. From there set up each thing individually without doing a TiBU restore at all.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] wonderbread24:
IIRC I wiped Dalvik & Cache but it was 1 in the morning and I was running on 3.5 hrs of sleep for the day. I'll do a factory reset and report back.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Prefer you do it in Recovery and follow it up with Dalvik and Cache Clear.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] wonderbread24:
Did exactly like you said. Now it just sits at the Galaxy SIII splash. Been there for 15 min now.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
I hope you didn't format /System did you ? If you didn't flash anything in this process, then I have a feeling you don't have an OS to boot. Proceed with the ROM flash in that case.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] wonderbread24:
Did and still stuck at SIII splash. formatted all but data and tried a nandroid restore to my previous touchwiz rom and still stick at the same spot.

Just got done formatting everyting but sd card and flashed a fresh touchwiz rom and its now booting... I'll flash liquid after I get through the initial setup...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Please report after done. Remeber what I said when you go from touchwiz to Liquid. Also if your /system is empty, Nandroid restore does not tend to stick (Self experience).
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] wonderbread24:
Whats that?

I haven't really jumped between the two.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sc2ascend:
Stock kernel for me.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
From your previous post, I thought you will be jumping from the Touchwiz to Liquid at some point. I was saying to do a full wipe and Factory reset before you flash Liquid.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] wonderbread24:
Up and running. Is it just TiBu that causes issues when restoring? Can I use a different app like nandroid manager and not have issues restoring my apps?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] VitricTyro:
So I've been using LiquidSmooth for awhile with no issues. Yesterday though, for whatever reason, my phone has been unable to receive SMS. I can send them fine, I can both send and receive MMS, phone calls, data, etc work fine. Everything but SMS. I thought maybe I needed to adjust my number in message center, but lo and behold, I haven't been able to find it. Sorry if this seems like a begginer question, but where exactly is the Message Center number setting?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Yes TiBU has issues restoring. At least with v 2.8. Give a try to Nand Manager. Let me know how that goes.

Are you looking for the APN ? Its under Settings >More> Mobile Networks > Access Point Names.

The rom works!!!!!!!! Im so happy thank you so much!!!!!! Let me ask you if the same will have to be done for kernels also? Im grateful for the rom!!!!!! I love it
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] VitricTyro:
As far as I know, it's called Message Center, but maybe this ROM has different jargon. I'll check it out.

This is along the lines of what I'm searching for. I'm a new user to the site so I'm not allowed to post outside links as it were, but add http and it should be fine.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
You'd have to ask on the kernel thread. The dev will have to tell if your device is supported as the drivers are a bit tricky subject.

As it is, this rom also comes with CM10 Kernel which is custom.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LuigiBull23:
Glad to hear! Now [MENTION=1960167]mt3g[/MENTION] can add it to OP if he chooses to for interested T999L users.

Nothing needs to be done to the kernels. They are compatible so unless stated otherwise they will work just fine.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mychal:
How do I teach myself how to use the bleeping camera?

Terribly sorry if y'all take this for granted, but I have no idea how to use this camera. I'm coming from 4.1.1, and I'm not sure if I should be googling "jelly bean camera tutorial," "4.2 camera tutorial," "4.2.2 camera tutorial," "cyangenmod camera tutorial," "aosp camera tutorial," "liquidsmooth camera tutorial," or something else... and by the way, each of those searches lead to something slightly different than the camera here. Where can I go to learn about this bad boy?

Oh, and I can't figure out what Dark Liquid is, either.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Start with this thread on AOSP Camera. There's some discussions there just to get you started. Next Google for Photosphere and HDR separately. Those are 2 different modes.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
I'll ad it to the op now, and kernels have no assert scripts so no worries on if it will flash, what will happen after I have no clue though, shouldn't be an issue.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] imblessed68:
Thanks for the LTE version you guys rock!!!!!!!!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TrueBlue502:
I tried ktoonsez kernel and have the same issue.

The build.prop tweaks on this thread are for T-Mobile and I have AT&T so I'm not sure if they will work.

Also if I change my APN and then change it back, and take the battery and SIM card out of my phone and then power on I can then connect just fine to 4G for like 3 minutes and then it goes away.

Thanks for your help so far though, I appreciate it.

other mods

The only thing Ive flashed is roms and kernels, can my friends tell me do I flash mods the same way the only difference is I don't have to do full wipe am I correct on that?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shenry1307:
Thanks for the info... I'm working now... It turned out not to be the kernel; just a detour from my normal flashing path. :good:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
Correct, if installing a new kernel or installing a new .zip that is for, let's say a sound mod, do not factory reset or wipe system, just the caches if anything.

apk's

can someone tell me if this is the correct way to install an apk: download apk, go to system/app folder/ put apk there and then...............? lol
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
Depends on the apk, if its a system apk, than yes... If its just a regular apk that you usually get from the play store, then just download it and click on it, than you should get the option to install.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] IXChicharitoXI:
Just open the apk file on your phone and it'll ask to download and then it'll install itself.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] imblessed68:
How do I use the apk camera I downloaded. When I open camera it's not the apk camera I downloaded
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
Remove the old one, you can watch a YouTube video on how to do this, I prefer this thread for actual LiquidSmooth stuff. This is something 100% unrelated and taken up about 2 pages or more, I stopped reading.... Please do some research on your own and take the issues you have further to the tread you pulled these apks from, as again, they don't have anything to do with this ROM in reality. Sorry for being blunt.

EDIT: Resolved. I just needed to restart, damnit. In case anyone is wondering, Google Now Reminders use the default notification sound, NOT the calendar sound apparently, and the custom light notificationa all shows up as a blue background with a white G, simply named "google" in the app names list when.

I think maybe I asked this before a couple weeks ago... Don't think I got resolution.

Google Now reminders make no sounds for me, and also don't usually pop up a notification, and my custom light notification also doesn't work. I read somewhere that it uses the same sound you have set in calendar, but that did nothing. I know before I managed see but not change the tone, can't find that now either. Was thinking I could just paste a new tone and rename it...

Anyone? I really need to use location based reminders...

Hey guys. Can anyone help/advise with the following problem on the new release 2.8:

On a regular basis, my stock keyboard freezes up mid-swipe/closes in the middle of typing. (Then I have to wait like 10 seconds for it to reopen) I tried a non-stock keyboard as well and had the same problem.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LuigiBull23:
Go to settings > apps > Android Keyboard (AOSP) and clear cache, data, then force stop it. If that doesn't help then boot into recovery and wipe Cache/Dalvik then fix permissions.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jon.s.nelson:
Sorry, I should have said that I tried that already... Really weird. I even formatted my internal SD card, data, system, etc when I did my total clean install....
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LuigiBull23:
Yea, you should always read the OP and specify all troubleshooting steps taken as well as any additional mods and such you may have recently installed before the issue occurred, otherwise there's not much anyone can do to help.

I suggest you redownload the ROM and gapps then try the following:

1) FULL wipe (System, Data, Cache, Dalvik Cache)

2) Flash ROM

3) Flash gapps

4) Reboot

5) Boot back into recovery

6) Factory Reset

7) Reboot

8) Test keyboard BEFORE restoring any data

T999L

Hi im on the T999L and so grateful that the team has made this beast of a rom for us. Ive been running this rom since 7/4 with no issues however yesterday I noticed that phone freezes occasionally and when I try to play music only part of the song is played. Ive tried the music player instlalled on the rom and ive also downloaded other players. I full wiped and fixed permissions to see if that would help but no luck. Any help will be appreciated because I love this rom!!

Using the kernel that came with the ROM?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
I dug deeply into the Google Now on Touchwiz as well as one with this one. Here's the problem. The App "Google Search" controls the Now settings. So Open Google Now and hit settings > Notifications > Ringtone. While there, make sure Vibrate is turned on.

Yes I experienced that too. In my case I traced it to the undervolting I was doing with KT747. Not that its an issue with KT747. When I did the same undervolting with the Built in Performance controls app, I had freezes. So I think the rom does not like undervolting somehow. My investigation continues....

Originally I used KT747 but after the freezes, right now I am on the Stock kernel. See rest of my findings above this quote.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] IXChicharitoXI:

When playing music through A2DP, sometimes when I skip a track my google music will freeze and refuse to play, other times the music will start playing through the phone speakers and i'll have to turn off bluetooth and turn it back on to resync with my car.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Is this your first time with LS ? Did you use previous versions of LS ? What kernel do you have ?

I know you will hate me for this. Yes you need to go all the way back to stock Touchwiz (Root66 with Stock Recovery and all). Almost as if from factory. Nothing in between.

Try Lean Kernel or KT747. Please do report your findings. I have no idea of how much HDMI Support these have.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shenry1307:
No, I don't hate you for saying it... And, no, I don't think I will go back to stock TouchWiz either. GPS worked perfectly fine on 2.7... If anything, I'll only go as far back as that. I'll only take Route 66 if I'm returning or selling the phone.
