CM + EFSv2?

Hi all,

Does this version of CM work with the new EFS format?

I've had some problems with older ROM's which didn't support the new EFS format.

Thanks in advance :)

i'm running the previous nightly (2013-10-18) with a XXEMG4 modem - no prob.

WiFi Problem !!! Helppp :(

Hello to all,

I have a problem, I bought the S3 I9300 2 weeks ago by MediaWorld,

and had already been on board the EMG4 update (4.1.2 Sammy Stock).

I tried to do all Wipe (including / sdcard) and then I flashed the latest nightly 10.2

and the WiFi does not work for me, I detect the modem at home but does not connect.

Is there a solution? Thanks in advance :)
[Galaxy S III General] zmagas1:
I use latest nightly with XXEMG4. All radios works fine.
[Galaxy S III General] bornlivedie:
that has nothing to do with wifi...
[Galaxy S III General] prabhjots:
Does anybody else have camera issues with the latest nightly?
[Galaxy S III General] andrew259:
my notification led dont blink to nothing on nightly 20131016
[Galaxy S III General] yaniv30:
Yeah...Check page 324.
[Galaxy S III General] donalgodon:
Slightly OT, but what's the standard 16:9 6MP size of shots for the camera in terms of pixels?

Is it 3264X1836?
[Galaxy S III General] yaniv30:
A look into the future.

Hey guys, just a little question about the possible future of cm 10.2-4.3.

I remember in cm 10.1 nightlies the camera had better image-quality than we have in cm 10.2. I know this isn't the cm dev's fault that things goes very slowly with our device. Do you guys think we'll have a better image-quality on cm 10.2? I love this Rom and can live with all the little glitches (I use Nightly by will after all^^) But camera is kinda important to me. So what do you guys think, will it get better?

Ty for your time and good day :)
[Galaxy S III General] flitzjoy:
Yes, just tested. 6MP is producing photos with 3264X1836 pixels.

And preview is fine too...
[Galaxy S III General] donalgodon:
I wonder why so many of the camera commits don't seem to be showing up in our device? I don't see any HDR functions, etc. that the last few nightly updates supposedly contained, according to the changelog for the 9300.
[Galaxy S III General] yaniv30:
I guess that has Something to do with the all sammy - CM thing. Sadly it's getting really Hard to stay with CM while using the i9300 (I don't blame cm).
[Galaxy S III General] Mystical:
Is there any way to change 'double vibration' to 'single vibration' when receiving messages?
[Galaxy S III General] Moster2:
Nope, at least not that I know of
[Galaxy S III General] donalgodon:
Has anyone here downgraded to stable 10.1.3 on the I9300 to compare with the latest nightlies? :confused:

Just wondering what the gains/losses would be in doing so.
[Galaxy S III General] yaniv30:
Would like to know that myself. And if i do downgrade do i have to do to a full wipe? And one Last thing, is 10.1.3 really is Stable for i9300? Thnx.
[Galaxy S III General] execve:
I have been using 10.1.3 for more than a few weeks now and it is very stable for my needs. I have once had a problem with transferring an ongoing call from BT to the headphones, but I read that that is a known problem. I do keep checking how 10.2 is progressing and also sometimes try out other ROMs -- but go back to 10.1.3 since I prefer to be on the stable version.

I feel that the GPS apps drain the battery a lot more than when on stock, but havent tested it thoroughly and so dont haveany data to back it.
[Galaxy S III General] donalgodon:
Yes, if you downgrade to 10.1.3 you absolutely need to do a full wipe.

[Galaxy S III General] stephendt0:
I would personally suggest going for CM10.2 nightlies instead.. they're surprisingly fast and stable. More stable than CM10.1 was for me. Performance is improved with Android 4.3 trim support. Audio output works perfectly for me now too :good: Very very happy, thank's again CM team :victory:. I can see this getting some form of release candidate or stable ROM around about the same time or shortly after the release of kit kat at this rate.

Man thats cool. Will be easy to report bugs/issues/glitches now
[Galaxy S III General] dhiru1602:
Yes. It will. Slowly but surely.

Hardware HDR is currently a no go for our device. Software HDR is possible but its HIGHLY sensitive to motion and requires a tripod. What you are looking at are Camera app patches which are probably for some other device. Not all features are available unless the device (HAL) supports it.
[Galaxy S III General] donalgodon:
With reference to the previous post about the camera quality on CM 10.1 vs. 10.2, how was it better, exactly?

(BTW, has anyone else been having problems editing posts on XDA lately? Every time I try, the browser tab just hangs. On a clean install of Chrome)
[Galaxy S III General] dhiru1602:
I honestly have no idea how it is better or worse. I haven't noticed any difference between both.
[Galaxy S III General] donalgodon:
The only thing I've noticed is that the default browser stutters on scrolling in CM 10.2, but doesn't in CM 10.1.

Is there any way in the universe to disable the status bar in Chrome? It's the only totally smooth option, but the status bar is super annoying.
[Galaxy S III General] gbyrne2011:
Hello all, I'm wondering if anyone has an update to this issue, space has gotten worse. I've wiped Delvik and Cache and still the same.

Thank you in advance.
[Galaxy S III General] joker2mbr:
It looks like this problem is happening to Google Chrome because of the Daylight Savings Time, which started this weekend in Brazil and it's affecting people who live in this country (Chrome was working without any issues before).

Until Google releases a proper fix, you should try the temporary solution presented here: http://www.inteligenciamovel.com.br/bug-do-horario-de-verao-afeta-chrome-para-os-brasileiros/

It's working fine for me.

cynagon

Hi,

I had already my galaxy s3 international rooted when I tried to update to cynagonmod . I followed this guide by Josh drew on Youtube ( How to install STABLE CyanogenMod 10.1 Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean on the Samsung Galaxy S3)

Everything went fine but I had a problem. I forgot to decrypt my phone and now my phone is saying "Encryption is unsuccesfull". I tried to factory wipe but it failed. What can I do?
[Galaxy S III General] rjames123:
Thats really scary .. I too wanted to do factory reset through recovery , but u really cannot mount /data while encrypted. Why dont you try the old password whe it asks for decryption ..
[Galaxy S III General] abihakim:
Yes the stock browser stutters or "lag" is a bit annoying. The last time i tried was on september nightlies.

How bout battery life in the latest 10.2 nightlies? Im currently on stable 10.1.3, but keen to try 10.2 one.
[Galaxy S III General] dhiru1602:
Have you got any nandroid backups? They are stored on the sdcard but they don't show up under the emulated storage. Go to the recovery and delete nandroid backups which are not required. Also, in the recovery, check if you have got any files under /sdcard/ that might be using up the space. All the files should be under /sdcard/0/. If there are any files in the sdcard root, they probably wouldn't appear in the device, but would eat up space.

Best bet would be to backup your files and format the sdcard from the recovery.

Yes. Hitting save after editing a post does nothing on Firefox. The post is saved though, but wouldn't show up until page is refreshed.
[Galaxy S III General] donalgodon:
I have to say that battery life is beyond anything I could have ever imagined. I had set aside the S3 for a while, since I purchased the S4 (and sold it to prepare for Nexus 5) but wow, the S3 on CM 10.2 gets absolutely terrific battery life.

If it had 2GB of RAM, I'd keep it for as long as possible. The Wolfson DAC absolutely destroys the Qualcomm sound chip, no matter what some reviewers say. They must be stone deaf.

The same usage patterns on CM 10.2 comparing the S3 and the S4, I'd say that, on average, I get 75-100% more on time out of a charge. Where I might get 1 day out of the S4, I'll easily get 1.75 to 2 full days on the S3.
[Galaxy S III General] dhiru1602:
So this is where CM is heading. Apparently one of my patch has been reverted. This fix was for the "Take Photo" option in Contacts and Whatsapp which would fail to show the captured picture, which I have fixed for I9300 on CM10.1. This patch has been reverted by Kondik stating this in the commit meesage ->"doesn't appear to be necessary any longer according to the examples given.". Doesn't appear to be necessary?? The whole point of having a review system in place is to have the community involved and work collaboratively. It makes no sense to revert commits upon personal perception, without having an understanding of how it might effect other devices. Does CM really justify "community rom"?

I could imagine what Xplodwild and codeworkx have been going through.
[Galaxy S III General] donalgodon:
That sucks. Does it work without your patch now?
[Galaxy S III General] scoobyjenkins:
Omni will be where it's at.

[Galaxy S III General] Darkbladecr:
You must have the extended battery because I get maximum 18 hours of modest use on CM10.2
[Galaxy S III General] donalgodon:
No, I don't. I just don't use Google Now, turn off Location Services, Greenify, etc.
[Galaxy S III General] DopeJam:
I have small problem with flashing. Every time I flash new nightly I need to reflash gapps because play services is not installed anymore (and maybe other apps I don't know.

Cynagonmod

After searching the internet. I found out that you wipe the data on recovery and everything works then
[Galaxy S III General] rjames123:
I was not succeeded in doing so . Did u ?
[Galaxy S III General] bolderbasta:
Hi,

This is my first post on the forum, so please be gentle. Just trying to help. :)

I also encountered issues after wiping an encrypted /data from custom recovery (can't remember if it was Philz or TWRP at the time). In my case the phone was previously encrypted from within CM, but after wiping /data the phone would boot only once and was stuck on the Samsung logo on second boot. This how I "fixed" the issue:

WARNING: YOU WILL LOSE ALL YOUR DATA ON THE PHONE

Boot into Download mode

Flash stock (Samsung) firmware using Odin. Beware: flashing a recent version might upgrade your EFS to v2 (as happened to me), which cannot be undone. Only a limited amount of modems support EFS2, so if you later flash an older modem, it might not work anymore. If you do not modify your modem after flashing stock (Samsung) firmware and later CM (CM itself leaves the modem intact), all will be fine though.

Boot into stock (Samsung) recovery. Factory reset and wipe (or format) /data

Boot normally into stock (Samsung) firmware to confirm all is well

Boot into Download mode and flash your favorite custom recovery with Odin

Boot into your custom recovery and do a full wipe

Flash CM and boot it

Encrypt the phone again from within CM

That's wat worked for me. Hope it helps.

Hello!

Anyone else having massive problems with the current nightlys? I'm experiencing random reboots and also phone freezes (permanent) while charing or even while normal using (e.g. Google+). When freezes, phone can only be reactivated with a battery remove or Power+VolDown+Home.

First I was on GoogyMax 1.7.5/6 kernel, but this isn't the reason. Now i'm on stock CM kernel, but the problems are still present.

I've done no over/under-volting/clocking, all settings default.

Any ideas or anyone the same problems?
[Galaxy S III General] Moster2:
1 thing people always suggested, in case you get freezes, is to flash back to stock and then go through the hassle of installing cm again. I personally never experienced any freezes, except when I undervolted too much with custom kernels :D
[Galaxy S III General] simono_pl:
I don't have any freezes or reboots on leatest nightly but I use only stock (from package) kernel.
[Galaxy S III General] erfah:
I'm having trouble with the later builds. Reboots sometimes, but also there is still alot of battery drain from "Android OS". So apparently the kernel is faulty. I also have to reboot my phone to charge it with wireless charging. Some mornings it's only charged half or not at all. A fix would be great.

Yes, unfortunately it is present even today. There were some hopes for a patch to fix it a week or two ago, but although the issue might have been slightly alleviated, there is definitely another bug that causes the drain after a call.

jumping to sim lock screen nightly 2013-10-22

Hi,

After upgrading to the last nightly (2013-10-22) and trying to reboot the phone, It just skiped the screen i used to enter my encryption code and jumped to a screen to enter my simcard pin. It even didn't accept my pin code. I tried to clean the cache and rebooted again but it didn't help. So I returened to the prior nightly and it booted perfectly.

I had some problems in last nightlies as well. Let's say, in more occasions I need to clean the cache after upgrading even though I do it before upgrading as well. I do it because the phone stocks in bootloader loop and I have to clean the cach again to be able to boot.( it needs to be done just the first time after upgrade)

Any one experiencing such issues?

It skips the screen there i used to enter my password to decrypt the phone and shows an "enter your simcard pin" screen. Any solution?
[Galaxy S III General] ptiloubar:
Backup all your apps with Titanium Backup, do a factory reset, restore user apps only. Then it should be good to go. No need to flash Samsung firmware and flash CM again, but if it gives you peace of mind...

On another note, it seems I cannot get to download new nightlies via cmupdater. The issue has shown itself for a couple of days: the downloads always fail. I have currently switched to Cyandelta as a workaround, but this worries me a lot.
[Galaxy S III General] ehsan.moeiny:
factory reset impossible

Hi, I tried to factory reset the phone but the issue is that it doesn't do anything as well. The phone still keeps being the same (even thought it says factory reset completed) and can be booted just by downgrading to 2013-10-21 nightly. By the way I use philz recovery.

I tried updating the firmware but it shows that I have the latest version and yes the camera works on the stock rom..if I change the kernel it stops working..and I tried all the cyanogen kernels but had no luck..
[Galaxy S III General] donalgodon:
Do you mean the stock CM kernel allows your camera to work, but custom kernels don't?

If you flashed back and forth between kernels, you might want to make sure that your init folder is wiped and/or do a clean install with full wipe.

I just flashed back to 10.1.3 to wait for the SMS to be fixed on the nightlies, and it only takes about 10 minutes to do a full wipe and restore if you use Titanium Backup to restore your user apps.
[Galaxy S III General] Usmanmhkhan:
No I mean stock touchwiz rom 4.1.2 or 4.2.2..the camera works fine on both versions..but not on cyanogen mod..and yes I do make sure to clean the cache n do a full wipe and even dalvik cache...before installation..I once even tried flashing official 4.1.2 then rooted and installed CWM and then install CM 10.2...and still faced the same issue..
