PLEASE make sure to thank task650 for his dedication to this body of work

​

Thanks to all the members of XDA and Task's threads, credit goes to everyone as I have just taken info from users input and located it to one place. Thanks to you all for helping us learn everyday

. ​

Please read the OP in dev thread carefully on latest update, it has some very important info in it. ​

BUG REPORTING: Very minimal at least read the thread from the date of the update you are running. If you see a couple posts about a paticular bug then consider it noted by devs. They do read these. Remember if they can't duplicate the problem then they sure as hell can't fix it. IF you are going to report a bug - include the necessary information or it will be ignored.

thanks for understanding that after a few bug reports are made and i acknowledge them, that the unecessary 100 that follow are ridiculous. Task

Always read the OP. If it says full wipe then do a full wipe. If you don't follow the OP please don't post problems. This isn't helping anyone. Full wipe isn't a big deal. You can backup and restore your launcher settings with Nova or Apex, Backup and restore apps with Titanium backup(pro has the batch feature and is worth the money) and you can backup and restore most of your AOKP settings with AOKP backup. ***AOKP BACKUP can cause issues when restoring. If you have errors after restoring with AOKP BACKUP try the process again without using it.*** Using these three methods takes about 10 minutes. This is barebones backup/restore. If you have a lot of tweaks and kernel changes it will take you longer. So as stated in the OP if you have problems do a full wipe before you report any problems.​

Read the change log. This will answer a multitude of questions.

This is for the AT&T version of the Galaxy S3. This rom may work on different variants of the phone, but as for now Task and Ktoon do not have the time to support other versions. If you are on a different version of the Galaxy S3 and report a bug please understand that this ROM is AT&T supported only.

This is just to help Task and Ktoon keep repetitive questions out of there thread. If any information in this post conflicts with Task and Ktoon's OP or ROM thread then ALWAYS follow their information first.

Below is am alphabetized list of FAQ, bugs, known issues and tips.

This is just a collection of answers that have been posted in the thread. Use as a guideline not as a rule of thumb. Always follow the OP.

Gapps has been changed - make sure you flash the newest in OP and update google search through play store.

msm_otg wakelock usually happens while rebooting and plugged into a power source - remove power source and reboot while on battery only should fix this.

Disable touch sounds to avoid sound weirdness while listening to music or on the phone.

Phone freezing/black screen-try raising your minimum speed or just revert to a rom before the new 3.4 kernel was implemented. Try the 3-13 build.

cLock weather not updating - Either yahoo API change or a weather station down.

AOKP BACKUP

AOKP BACKUP is a great app for restoring most of your settings, but may cause some issues.

Third party app not working properly

This ROM has nothing to to with 3rd party apps. You would need to contact the developer of those respective apps to get support for them. You also need to understand that not all apps support the Jellybean 4.2.x OS yet and need to be updated by the developers in order for them to work correctly. task650

Trying clearing data for that app

If you used TIBU to restore app, clear cache and data and delete the app and download it fresh from the Playstore.

Some people are reporting third party camera apps not working correctly and/or causing stock camera problems. This could be true for a number of third party apps that could be conflicting with system apps.

If any given app/process is giving you problems or fc'ing- try clearning data for that app and/or fixing permissions.

Make sure you have the app updated to latest version. The existing version may not be up to date for 4.2.X or whatever version the ROM is.

If your app won't sync or no notifications - try logging out and then back in. Or try deleting the account and add it back.

2g toggle

If you can't get your phone to wake up-

Hold down the power button for up to 30 seconds - it will restart. You should not have to pull the battery after using this step to restart. It does work and may take a few times for you to get it right.

BATTERY LIFE:

We all at some time have been proud or dissapointed in our battery life, but please keep battery stats out of the development thread.There are threads for this and the Development threads are not one of them.

There are way too many variables that influence battery life to be concerned with in a DEVELOPMENT thread. This has been stated daily by the Developers.

Install betterbatterystats and figure out if the problem could be something causing a wake lock keeping your phone from entering deep sleep.

Go here to discuss BBS wakelocks and read the how to in the app. It is very beneficial.

It is a known fact that it may take a couple charge cycles for your battery to calibrate and settle in. Also it should be known that these batteries do not need the data cleared for them. THEY WILL CALIBRATE THEMSELVES.

If you are getting over 3 hours of on screen time on a single charge that is nothing to complain about. IF you do see a post in the development thread about battery life, ignore it. Once again, no one uses their phone the same and their set up is probably not going to influence your phone significantly.

Sometimes an app or process is just sticking and a reboot will help.

You could possibly see battery showing charging when not plugged in or a dramatic change after a reboot. Once again this is just the battery fuel gauge recalibrating itself. This is normal.

Bugs/reporting

Bug reports should contain a logcat or information that would help. saying this doesn't work or this is happening doesn't help us at all and at that point belongs in Q&A. task 650

Some bugs are being reported by a few that Task, Ktoon and others are not seeing. Follow avidmovies notes below on trouble shooting/comprehensive reflash and Task's suggestion above on weird sh!t. Stick to the basics and see if problem is there still - such as stay with kernel that is included with rom, skip restoring anything with titanium back up, other words just try the basics and if a certain app has been giving you problems download it from the market instead of TIBU and see if problem still persists. Some apps have been reported to make ROM features malfunction.

If you had a spontanious reboot, we need the file last_kmsg from the /proc folder.

If you have n FC on an app, thats when we want a logcat

Guide on how to logcat. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1726238

If you do not have the latest update of this rom consider it unsupported. This is why they update- to get rid of the bugs that we may be having on older versions.

BUG REPORTING: Very minimal at least read the thread from the date of the update you are running. If you see a couple posts about a paticular bug then consider it noted by Task. He does read these. Remember if he can't duplicate the problem then they sure as hell can't fix it. Bug reports without a logcat or a random reboots without a last_kmsg will be ignored.

"Thanks for understanding that after a few bug reports are made and I acknowledge them, that the unecessary 100 that follow are ridiculous." Task

Just follow this practice and you will be golden.

If you see a bug reported once - go ahead and report it again with a LOGCAT or proper info.

If you see a bug reported twice and you are seeing it consider it a known bug and the following will probably happen-

Task has the same problem or enough info from LOGCATS provided and will fix it or

Task is not having the problem and can do nothing about it unless a LOGCAT is given

Point here is Task can't fix problems with out the proper information.

"Be patient for the galaxy s3 settings to be fixed." Task --- Some stuff is taken out, left out or temporarily removed for good reason.

If you are going to report a problem, include some details. Kernel, UC/OC, circumstances, etc...

Once again TALKING about a bug without the proper info including either LOGCAT or last_kmsg is nothing but A WASTE OF TIME.

Read THIS posted in the development thread by Task.

HOW_TO_PROPERLY_REPORT_A_BUG

BLUETOOTH

If your phone switches to vibrate when you connect to bluetooth. Check here

Settings>Rom Control > Bluetooth A2DP connected action

No action

Vibrate Mode

Silent Mode

Benchmark Scores

The devs have stated many times that these scores are BS. If you run a benchmark and want to discuss it, there are threads that are purely for discussing these random numbers. The development thread is not one of them.

CAPACITIVE BUTTONS

For instructions to disable capacitive buttons go HERE!

CM10

This is not a CM10 ROM nor is it based off one.

Comparing the two makes no sense. This is based off Google as is CM10. Other than that there is NO comparison. Please understand this. If something works or is in one rom doesn't mean it will work or is in the other.

If you want to compare CM10 and Tasks AOKP take it to the general section. A development thread is not the place for it.

CRT animation

If you put your animation speeds below .75 CRT will not work.

There are now toggles and more options for CRT - familiarize yourself with them.

DATA CONNECTION/SPEED

If you have no data after a flash, dont freak out.

Try rebooting

Make sure you have data toggle turned on.

Try toggling airplane mode

Check APNs.

If you have no APN's make sure your SIM card is in good and reboot.

If SIM card is not detected during a reboot - your APN'S will/could be blank.

DO you have your IMEI intact?

DATA SPEED PROBLEMS

Data speed can vary greatly depending on user traffic and distance from towers.

SpeedTest app is not a reliable source of accurate data speed

The ATT APN is being phased out by ATT. You need to use the ATT LTE APN - task650

Just because your stock ROM said 4G doesn't mean you actually had 4G/LTE. ATT roms report H/H+ as 4G where as this ROM gives you true data connection.

DATA Symbols

I flicker between H and 3g. AOKP shows true connection where as stock roms just show 4G. Also this rom controls data connection and kicks it down to 3G when not using data and kicks to H+ when you need it. This is a feature to save battery.

Blue symbols means you are connected to google servers - gray means you are not

Symbol equals>

G=GPRS

E=EDGE

3G=3G

H=HSDPA/HSPA

H+=HSDPA+/HSPA+

4G=LTE

You must have I337 recovery to flash this ROM or you will get error 7. ;) task650

This is usually caused by a corrupt download, or bad file signature. Re-downloading (or re-signing) the ZIP will usually fix this - check MD5 sum.

Update or try a different recovery.

Remove the build assert in the updater-script.
