Mastamoon's 10.2 doesn't; DPI and Halo sounds like either carbon or pac man or hybrid
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hybridnoob:
Or Paranoid Android, of course.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] goldsmitht:
are you able to flash mastamoon's 4.4 with TWRP or do you have to use CWM?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kenbrownstone:
I can't get it to load.....anyway u can send me the zip....I've used every browser..... Or any help would be great
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] khymbote:
I can wait till he officially post the unofficial. :thumbup:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Goose306:
Until we get a new working TWRP you have to use CWM. This isn't a build issue, its that TWRP needs to be updated to work with KitKat and no-one has built a working version yet.

Its open source so I'd assume readily doable but I haven't seen one yet. (That works that is) Until then, its relatively easy to switch recoveries through multiple methods - dd commands in terminal or adb, Flashify, ODIN/Mobile Odin, Goomanager (for TWRP) EZ Recovery.... you get the idea.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Zacharybinx34:
I'm running the latest build, but when going to Android Device Manager in the Google Play Store, from my web browswer on my PC it says, "Location unavailable"

How do I fix this? Any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Bassmas5:
Radio signal

Can anyone tell me if there are any problem with the radio signal on this ROM? I've been running it for a little over a week now and have noticed that in places I would normally have 4 bars I only have 1 bar and can't text or call sometimes with 1 bar. The highest I've see it go up to is 2 bars.

I really like this ROM and don't want to get rid of it.

I have a Fascinate that is running 10.1 and it shows 4 bars here at my home and my GS3 is showing only one. I know they are different phones but its stranger that a much older phone would show a better signal.

Any ideas

Can you verify that GPS works in other apps?

For those who like the OK Google from home screen and new launcher style,with the stability and function of Mastamoon's 10.2 rom.

Check this out,i had nothing to do with this just found it and thought i would share.

Ok Google From Home Screen

Bluetooth audio

Does anyone know or is still having problems with Bluetooth audio streaming and shuttering?

I'm not really sure why CM build have issues with Bluetooth audio. I been using CM rom all the way back to my Samsung Fascinate and the issues has always been there.

I guess I should try different ROM's and see if they have Bluetooth issues with them also.

For those who want to stick with the stability of Mastamoons last 10.2 release and still have the latest Google wallet working on their d2vzw, check here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=47865371&postcount=3499

And you don't need to install the full zip, as that may include NFC stuff for d2att.

1. Force stop, Clear data for wallet, and disable it or uninstall it.

2. Extract the APK from this .zip (I used ES File Explorer)

3. Copy it to /system/app (If you use ES it should maintain the root/root ownership and -rw-r--r-- [644] permissions)

4. Delete the older wallet apk from /system/app (if applicable), and anywhere else it might be (/data/app, maybe, but it wasn't there for me)

5. Reboot

6. Re-enable wallet, if applicable.

7. Profit! Tap to Pay says it's working once you set up wallet again. And it's the latest version and says my physical wallet card is on the way. :D

I am currently experiencing the signal issues where it doesn't jump back to LTE and sometimes even stays at 1x. I am not a new area, I've moved to Lexington KY.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] aj8600:
Is there a camera apk with working photosphere for this rom?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Bassmas5:
Have you tried getting a new SIMs card?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] titanshadow:
I haven't, that is my next step. I'm giving it a few days, there is a bit of snow right now so I'd like to see if it does any better if the weather clears a bit. I've read some things that say snow and rain don't impact the signal at all but I can't imagine that is accurate - PC Mag did an article a while back where they asked the carriers and what would you expect a carrier to say... I can't imagine temperature, pressure, and humidity/precipitation don't impact my cell signal.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kude87:
Anyone tried the 4.4 roms yet that masta has? Most recent build I see is today the 27th. Just wondering how they stack up to the other main 4.4 ones we have so far.

Its 100 bajillion times moar better! Scientifically proven! So much butter!

So just for ****s and giggles I tried the cm 10.2 nightly from the 27th as I noticed there was a new ril patch to v6. Yea it jacked my phone up. Stuck in roaming, couldn't send text. Where is the quality control? Lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] johnwaco:
Been using masta's builds for a week and they have been solid. Camera can be wonky but I have had that issue on all 4.4 Roms. Sometimes camera works great.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HandsomeOne:
Using 11-27 reverts works great, Data hand offs ie: wifi to cdma 1x,3g ,dont work but qcrils have not been merged yet. This is a great rom

I'am sure LTE works ? Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
I haven't had any WiFi/data handoff issues. LTE works fine also.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HandsomeOne:
Will try again, I have not had a 4.4 rom that work yet on wifi 1x or 3g , LTE has worked but i dont have LTE where i'am now just strong 3g ? Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TokedUp:
If ur camera is wonky swap out the 4.4 camera for a 4.3 and it will work 100%. Its just a work around for now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
No WiFi, 1x or 3g at all or only switching between is broke?

I was on 1x for about 10 mins yesterday, am on 3g quite often and am on lte right now. Everything works fine.

Qcril will be the icing on the cake when they drop it.

Did you data wipe when going cm11?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HandsomeOne:
Yes wifi works 3g will come in for a second then drop, qcril has not been merged that i know of ?

Always Triple wipe and sys format :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ef-civic:
I'm using 1126. Everything works great. ROM is very smooth. Great work Masts!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Doesn't sound normal from my experience or others.

I know you triple wipe and system format, but did you actually factory reset/datawipe aka clean flash when coming to 4.4?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HandsomeOne:
Yes always thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
OK just checking. ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HandsomeOne:
No Problem Thanks for all you time and hard work, Have A Great Thanksgiving !!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] johnwaco:
Haven't been on 1x but have had no issues switching between 3g, 4g and Wi-Fi
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HandsomeOne:
Sorry for getting off topic of 10.2 .

Hope we get a 11 thread :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] titanshadow:
10.2 vs 11... I've read a few times on here how solid the 11 build is from Masta but I was wondering about a few things... Some mentions were made of data hand offs and of some new things that were in Masta's builds but not in the main build. I wasn't sure if that was the 11 build of Masta or the 10.2 build.

Which build has better overall stability (as in reboots and such) and data hand offs in low signal environments (going from 1x to 3g to LTE).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] johnwaco:
I haven't spent much time in more signal areas but data handoffs have been good for me on 11. Only issues I have had has been camera is wonky sometimes and not getting voicemail notifications. I do get missed call notifications. Neither is a deal breaker for me and it's been my DD for a while
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] faehsemc:
With the most recent revert I have had no handoff issues. I experienced issues going from 3g to 4g on the 19th build. Otherwise this is outstanding. My only irritation is there is no "hold back to kill" that I can find. Poweramp freezes on me sometimes if I swipe to the next song instead of clicking the arrow. So I constantly have to kill it to be able to start another song. I am assuming its the p-amp dev that needs to find a fix for that though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kude87:
Odd, power amp has been working fine for me, on two different 4.4 builds I've tried. Have you installed xposed with gravity box? I think your long press to kill is in that.

Should we not be talking about 4.4 here? I don't want to clutter up this thread. Latest Netflix version doesn't work. If you get an older version, it does.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] faehsemc:
I didn't know they got xposed working on 4.4 going to try that
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kude87:
Make sure you grab the beta version for kit kat. So far everything I've needed is working well.

Battery on 11/27 build. Dalvik mode. Screen on time of 1 hr 8 mins, 10 mins of calling, and 35 mins of Pandora. Pretty good, I think. Media server drain is less on 4.4, or so I've experienced. Also, I don't know if this is placebo effect or what, but my audio sounds the best it ever has on this device.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fluffman86:
I keep trying the cm11 builds from masta and others. They seem to be working fairly well for me. Biggest thing that's missing for me is voice+. Any way to get that working on KitKat? I'm sticking with 10.2 until either voice+ works or hangouts can natively send texts from my Google voice number.

Also, is there's a way to get a photosphere cam working on 10.2 or 11? The ones I've tried keep crashing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Voice+ has been merged and will be in the next build.

11/27 is crashing after boot. Phone is constantly FCing during the phone setup. This same problem happened a while back on 10.2 but I forgot what the problem or fix was.

Masta, any chance of a 10.3 thread? The OP post is always helpful when I'm having problems. Hopefully the PA gapps I have is correct.

Looking forward to the next build.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kude87:
11/27 build since it dropped. Have yet to find an issue. Haven't used bluetooth yet. No reboots. Battery life is excellent. Just my experience. Honestly, I used to have more issues with roms if I didn't wipe everything enough. Now I wipe everything up to 5x. No issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mikejr83:
11/27 build is working great for me. The only issue I have is trying to get the new launcher setup similar to how I had Apex setup. I actually wish Apex or Nova would basically copy it so I got a little more customization on things like the app drawer.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kude87:
Yeah, I tried the GEL launcher for a few days. Just couldn't like it. I use nova prime and really like it. The Google one is just so barebones, and the lack of left screens is annoying.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cornelious1212:
For me it was not being able to hide apps in the drawer. I've enabled SMS on hangouts, why do I need to swipe past the messaging icon all the time?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kude87:
I guess I don't know what you mean? I don't have to swipe by a messaging icon of any sort.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cornelious1212:
The messaging icon is sitting in the drawer but I don't use that app at all. So when I open the drawer and swipe right, there it is cluttering up the drawer. I use nova and hide all the apps I don't physically access. Like MX Player or adobe reader. I also hide the apps in the drawer for what I have on my home screen, I don't need to see them there, that's why I put them on my home screen
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kude87:
I see. I can successfully hide the messaging icon with nova. Why not just do that to the stock messaging app? I know you said you do that to other apps. Or are you saying it actually doesn't hide even though you've tried?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cornelious1212:
I do, but we were talking about using the GEL, which doesn't support hiding apps. I wish it did because I like the always listening search bar and the swipe from the left Google Now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kude87:
Ahh yes. That another reason I dislike the GEL. Seemed almost iPhone like. Anyways, I you can go into your Google search settings and turn the hot word detection on even while using nova. Keep in mind it is pretty battery intensive.

As for Google now swipe from the left, I just throw the 4x1 Google search widget on my home screen and tap it to give me the same thing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mikejr83:
Anyone switch to ART yet? I tried last night but it sat at the boot animation for over 30 min.

Is when the phone sits did at the boot animation when the ART "cache" is being built? I kind of expected it to be like when you wipe dalvik and get the "Android is upgrading"screen.

According to Titanium I have about 200 user apps (really?!).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] goatman101:
You are correct. You should be seeing the" android is upgrading " or whatever it says screen. If you are stuck on the boot screen, something is wrong.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mikejr83:
OK. Ya not seeing it. Just sitting at the boot animation.

I'm running a custom kernel so maybe that is the issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TwistingSoul:
I have this same problem, too, but it was recommended in one of the other CM11 threads to switch to ART after a clean flash (wiping system/data/cache/etc), and before you install any other apps.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=47921465#post47921465
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
You must enable it before you start adding user apps. It takes a good 5+min to get past the boot animation, then a solid ten minutes just to optimize the system apps. If you restore a ti backup before enabling, you will achieve boot, but I'd guess it would take 2+hrs

Apn would be rom related. Apn config. Xml... Correct? And it's exact same as any other aosp rom I've been on. Checked that too... @ least the VZW part anyway.

The qcril / caf rebased Qualcomm ril will come soon because they have already started working on it.

(i accidentally posted this in the ose thread! To many kitkangs to follow!)

12/2 running great - dirtied from the 27th build. Thanks again mastamoon.

What I've noticed on all the 4.4 builds is that some Google Apps are not storing "cloud" data the same way as 4.3. Gmail for example, when I open the app it syncs right then (emails +3- begin to appear). It seems the initial syne doesn't cache the emails. Could this explain the higher than normal google services battery drain?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jaegermeiste:
I have the same problem with the phone being stuck at the boot animation while switching to ART. I did

not

install/restore a bunch of user apps - I tried switching to ART after a clean flash of both 11/27 and 12/2. Nor do I run a custom kernel or Xposed. I check all my MD5's, and I tried clean flashing stock rooted and triple checking that CWM Recovery and my radios were up to date (stupid ROM Manager wouldn't recognize my Touch in-app purchase, but that's a different issue). After obsessively wiping everything (data, cache, system, dalvik) I went through initial setup without issues (only disabling GPS). I selected Launcher3 when prompted. I enabled developer options/advanced reboot and security/unknown sources. I rebooted to recovery, made a nandroid backup, rebooted, and attempted to enable ART. On a bunch of different attempts I gave it 20 minutes, 50 minutes, 2 hours, and overnight (after which the phone was VERY hot) without success. Unfortunately Chainfire's logcat/dmesg didn't work in CM11, so I couldn't see where the ART boot was hanging.

Other notable issues I ran into were the ROM not recognizing my SIM card (sometimes with no data until reboot) and a bunch of boot loops and crash-reboots. For the time being I've given up on trying ART. :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mikejr83:
Is adaptive backlight working for anyone on 11/27 or 12/2. It seems like my screen is on full blast bright even though I have it at auto and checked that the levels are at the defaults. I have no weird wakelocks and with 45 minutes of screen-on time I'm at 50%. The phone appears to be going into deep sleep.

Side note, BBS never seems to be able to hold on to states. Anyone know if there is an issue with it and KK? I haven't seen an update for it and I have the donate version.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AndroidCrusader:
For those who have hanging boot logo with ART...

Mine hangs every time I switch to ART, but if I let it sit for a couple of minutes it reboots on its own and finishes just fine.

This ROM (sspencer10) with ART is as good as any CM build I have run in the last two years. 200 plus apps with no issues to speak of.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TokedUp:
Art was not made for this phone. At this point there is no reason to use it. Why does everyone have to run Art if it doesn't work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NedDasty:
I think that people were hoping Art would work. In theory it's supposed to help apps boot up faster; it sounds like in practice the difference is negligible. I too was stuck on the boot screen for over an hour, so I gave up, and I'll stick to Dalvik if/until a reliable method of enabling Art pops up.

I flashed the 12/2 last night and everything seems to be working smoothly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AndroidCrusader:
The speed benefit that I am seeing is during reboots. Unless changes are being made to apps, the reboot is extremely fast. I see no significant improvement in speed when starting apps or running them, but 4.4 is already so fast on these phones that it would be hard to tell.
