my phone and my Nexus 7 both show up in Android Device manager - accurate to within 14 meters even...

running masta's latest
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jrc27:
Same for me except i dirty flashed over invisibleks 8/6 build
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PerCompLLC:
Ditto...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] khymbote:
that is a weird issue. I have gone back and forth in 4.2 and didn't see that happen.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BrianAllred:
Might be related to the camera issues with 4.3 or it might be a problem with the app, but when Cerberus tries to take a picture (due to incorrect pass code or something), my phone reboots. This is on Masta's 8/7. I reported the problem to Cerberus, too, just in case.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rmg88888888:
I did the same thing. This was their response:

"Sorry but we still haven't been able to fix the bug, that happens only on CM10.x ROMs. Could you please send me a logcat of when Cerberus tries to take a picture? Check the "Take picture immediately" option, on the web dashboard."

I tried getting a logcat but it reboots before the log can capture anything relating to the take a picture command.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BrianAllred:
Yeah, I noticed there wasn't anything in the log. Makes me think it's a CM problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] goldsmitht:
what recovery are you using? AND what version of the recovery? There were issues when 10.1 came out that caused that based on the "0" folder issue with older recovery versions. IF you haven't, try updating to a new version of your recovery and see if that fixes the continual "0" folder creations. After that, you will have to figure out which folder has the data and then delete the others.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DreadCode:
Using the 8/7 Build and battery life isn't as good as 8/6 , and my phones been heating up ? Other then that is rock solid !
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] joshua5683:
This is pretty good but I don't see any differences in 4.3 to 4.2 and I can't change my lock screen shortcuts (they don't stick) and I can't use Asus day scene live wallpaper. Those both worked on latest official cm10.1 nightly

Sent from my SCH-I535
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] goldsmitht:
can't check the live wallpaper thingy, however, i've not only changed the lock screen shortcuts, i've also changed the icons as well. I'm on Mastamoon's 8/7 and have no problem with any of them.

maybe a new flash? did you dirty flash over 10.1? Maybe a clean flash would work?

:cyclops:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] danstar:
I flashed masta's 8/7 release, and I also was not able to change my lock screen sliders, plus I couldn't be on a phone call for more than 2 or 3 minutes and lost the call. I had to go to a wide open spot outside in order to have a 5 - 10 minute conversation. This was on a clean install.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Eyalkn:
New build in the OP

Thank you Mastamoon for the new build 8/8 :) Downloading and flashing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
8/08 build in the OP

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tom108:
Bootin Now!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PsiPhiDan:
They're mostly under the hood changes and a few minor other ones.

Example: I just found that you can trim your videos without 3rd party app. You go to a video on the gallery and hit menu - > trim.

Speaking of TRIM, that's a huge feature in 4.3 (all caps - Google it for more information).

There's also Bluetooth LE capabilities added, and some smoothness increased in the UI over noticed. Not to mention the Always On Wi-Fi that supposedly doesn't eat battery, and some other changes that make gaming better.

It's hard to find these things quickly, but you'll see. Also noticed the stock phone app displays numbers differently when guy start dialing it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lakingslayer:
I've had no issues with any builds from mastamoon except the 8/1 build which killed the battery. I did a clean flash of the 8/2 build and have dirty flashed all subsequent builds. This ROM is pretty much as stable and useful as any of the TW or ASOP ROM's I've used.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sjpritch25:
mastamoon, I was getting a little lag playing songpop on your 8/7 build. I'm flashing 8/8 and hopefully its a little better. Everytime, i move the zip to my external sdcard (using root explorer) it breaks md5. Anyone else having this issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Setco:
Would mind a link or directing me to mastamoons new build? Thanks in advance. And are there any good kernels that work well with his build?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ausman89:
I am trying to flash TWRP over my current CWM and when I do it through goo manager, it says it works, but everytime I reboot into recovery, I still have CWM. Any thought on if I'm doing something wrong or what else might be going wrong?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] stearic:
Links to his newest builds are in the first post in this thread. Along with a link to the latest firmware and gapps you should be using as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dpaine88:
Flashed latest and signal bars are grey as if I don't have gapps.

Been flashing the past few without gapps and been fine.

Anyone Else?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hybridnoob:
Nope, but it happened to me once before. Reflashing GApps should fix it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Reborn627:
Nope, good here. Hmmmm

Can anyone see if hangouts video calls are working on 8/8? Thank you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zachf714:
[MENTION=2963287]mastamoon[/MENTION] thanks for helping me yesterday, it took me a while to realize I was using the older patch sets in my script
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ausman89:
That was strange. I couldn't make the img file from there work either. I had to flash the tar file using odin. It works now though, so I'm happy.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Restola:
Mastamoon 8/8 (and 8/7) is running way better than invisibleks 8/8 kernel test. Placebo or is there a real difference?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] stang68x:
How are you guys liking signal strength/data reception? I'm on 4.1 still because whenever I went to a 4.3 ROM my 4G signal would become terrible. And it wasn't just the way it displayed, speed tests showed how bad the signal was.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bulldog8712:
I apologize for this noobish question but if I do a full wipe (including the internal sd) will I lose my root and unlocked bootloader (originally done with ez unlock)?

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sivarticus85:
Here's what I'm getting sitting in my house.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] khymbote:
No
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hybridnoob:
Thanks, Masta! Every build is somehow even better than the last. I never expected that I could run pre-nightlies as my daily driver, but have been since the beginning (7/31 Masta). Just wanted to say thanks! Oh, and 8/8 is the smooth.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ericsdeadinside:
OK may have solved some of the audio issues by disabling Apollo and using play music instead. Then DSP manager behaves itself.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] damnyouwaffles:
Just got myself out of a stuck splash screen so after flashing 8/8. Had to wipe because I couldn't even do a restore to my backups. All is good now though and k got my Zerolemon today so I'm excited to see battery life with this beast.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hybridnoob:
Of topic - what recovery were you using by the way? I ask because I had trouble restoring using TWRP (v2.5 - mainly from my external SD). Twice, it failed mid restore and broke the recovery. Not fun. Although I like the design and functionality, I haven't trusted it since. I donated to that project in the past...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sjpritch25:
Download the latest version to your external SD & us easy recovery (in playstore) to flash it

---------- Post added at 08:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:17 PM ----------

I haven't had any issues the latest cwm
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hybridnoob:
Me either. I had the latest TWRP (v2.6) before I switched. CWM works better for some, TWRP for others. Seems people using CWM are having less issues on CM10.2 though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jlokos:
I have no issues with CWM. Masta's 8/08 build is working great, including ADM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ZServ:
My battery life is absolutely abysmal on this-- we're talking if I'm using the phone, 3-5 percent in 5-10 minutes. Is anyone else experiencing this or is it due to a dirty flash?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ericsdeadinside:
Install trickstermod and use the Qualcomm mp decision with ondemand governor
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Div033:
I decided to go ahead and take the plunge. Here are my initial impressions:

- Signal and battery life seems more or less the same. Nothing extravagantly good or bad.

- Graphics performance is worse. I notice more minor hiccups and dropped frames on 4.3 even with hardware overlays disabled (doing this improves performance on our device). Benchmarks also reflect this.

- Occasionally will get wake lag when turning on the device. I believe this applies to Nexus devices as well.

Aside from that everything else seems to be the same as 10.1. I hope KLP will be the major revision it's rumored to be because all these updates have had negative effects on older devices. I guess that's to be expected with the system becoming more bloated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PsiPhiDan:
Don't forget that this is an unofficial build for a device the isn't "supposed to" have it.

It will undoubtedly improve the performance is our device - it's plenty capable spec-wise.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] necropuppy:
I've gotta say the best battery I've had had been on aerovans latest build.

Edit: 8/5 I hadn't flashed the 7th yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Div033:
Yup, am well aware of that but I know there's a bunch of lurkers who want the info.

Plus, I don't think the CM team writes the GPU binaries... This one falls on Qualcomm. We'll see.

Also, on 4.3 disabling hardware overlays actually decreases performance on some apps. I had to re-enable it to get these performing normally. On 4.2 everything was butter smooth with them disabled.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PsiPhiDan:
I think your first few paragraphs are very helpful for lurkers who want reviews. I was just honestly replying to your last part that was seemingly putting down 4.3 due to your experience on this early build. My fault.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] joshua5683:
Awesome I'm gonna flash back to it thanks for the info
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] elreydenj:
Agreed. Everything is surprisingly stable on the 8/08 build. Good battery life. The problem where hangouts video calls do not function is still present on 8/8 though. Thank you Masta.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Div033:
No you're fine I was putting it down but not because of what I've experienced here... I apologize for not making that clear.

I've been reading about people's experiences on the Galaxy Nexus and they're having many of the same issues reported here. Of course, there are greatly varying reports which leads me to believe some people aren't doing something right, but many people are reporting data drops (as we've seen here) which requires them to reboot or toggle airplane mode. I haven't seen anyone complain about general smoothness yet, but the gnex had greatly better performance by keeping hardware overlays enabled anyway so they wouldn't see any differences in UI lag. Games, on the other hand, I think I did read some people stating they were lower performing. I'm not even referring to CM here, but rather straight up AOSP, so any issues on these devices are Google's doing. I just don't want to see people blaming the CM team for these problems.

The thread I was reading was on rootzwiki, VZW Galaxy Nexus section, Shiny rom.

Hangouts video chat works for me
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AdMire:
Any one having issues with the Market saying HBO Go not being compatible with this device now?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jgfan1972:
Did you use Focal? That has been reported previously to cause a huge battery drain. If you re-boot your drain should return to normal.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nmtuna:
Is BT 4.0 working for anyone? I can't get my fitbit to connect.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] elreydenj:
What gapps did you use when you flashed the rom if you do not mind me asking? Someone else a few pages back is having the same problem as me. Did you restore backups when you flashed or did you just download hangouts fresh from the play store? I would really love to video chat with my kids without leaving this 4.3 rom as it is solid! Can I provide a logcat to anyone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hybridnoob:
Hangouts (video) doesn't work here either. I was able to get the camera to work after doing a combination of leaving the app during a video call toggling the front and back cameras and toggling the camera off. I couldn't end the video call without killing the app.

I'm on Masta's 8/8, which is otherwise awesome :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Chris123NT:
This may help with the video performance issues people are seeing (as well as some other things since it's a pretty big driver update)

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...mmit/34b17e2031d98191690e05b883b8bda167967330

I've been seeing the data drops as well, hopefully it gets fixed soon as that seems to be the only really annoying issue for me so far.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] elreydenj:
Yes. That is exactly what happens.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zachf714:
Yup, I have that in my build for today
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ericsdeadinside:
The only thing I did was to take a video with the ffc before using hangouts
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] joshua5683:
Liking this rom so far but I'm having the same two issues I had last time I flashed. When I change and save my lockscreen shortcuts it doesn't stick and resets to default, and I when I choose Asus Day Scene live wallpaper it forces closes. I did a clean install and didn't have these issues on official cm 10.1. Both are not a big deal and I'm still going to stick with this rom but I would be very pleased if they were fixed :D

Also, is there any way to increase the volume of system sounds? Like the screen lock sound?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Argent36:
So how long before we get this working (or does it already?) on this ROM? I love the potential of my Chromecast!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTWHL30gyg4
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sbenson1226:
This is unreleased software. We're waiting for Google to allow developers to release apps for chromecast. Until then all we get are these teases.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Neverender326:
I am having fits over GPS on aosp!! Works fine on TW keeping a lock but not on any CM based ROM. 8-8 is running so well but I need GPS in Maps! I've gone back to TW gotten a lock and restored 4.3 without success. I've tightened the screws. I've used GPS fix apps. Nothing works on aosp. Best I get is a weak lock for a minute than I lose it. So very frustrating. Its got to be a CM commit since its flawless on crappy TW ;(.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bluezr1:
That would be awesome, thanks for posting this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] smurphdogg:
Same with me and the guys on the other side said all they heard was static.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Tarpit_Carnivore:
Did you just flash the one from here, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1742522?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] goldsmitht:
OK, silly question, but when you changed the settings, did you save it twice? You have to save it each time you select a different shortcut, and then click on the little disc at top right to save all of them. Just a thought.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xenokira:
FitBit hasn't updated the app to work with 4.3's Bluetooth 4.0 yet. On the app page in the Play Store, they have a brief note explaining that they're working on it.

Is anyone else missing the Google+ widget after flashing the 8/8 build with 7/29 gapps (wiped clean when flashed)?

I've tried uninstalling Google+ updates, clearing app data, disable/re-enable and I just can't seem to get the G+ widget to show up in my widget drawer.

There is now a Lean Kernel test build available for 4.3. I just flashed it a while ago and it seems to be working nicely.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] khymbote:
I am running the latest nightly from Masta and I have no gps lock on issues at all. I get a faster lock than most people I know on a stock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PerCompLLC:
Same here... No issues at all with AOSP GPS. Definitely not a CM problem IMHO. (and I do use GPS quite a bit)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] stearic:
Its working, fitbit just needs to update their app to use the official aosp Bluetooth library vs what Samsung hacked together.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Neverender326:
Darn. Back to the drawing board. I'm out of ideas though. Network location is fine. GPS just can't keep a lock. Could cross breeder or init.d tweaks somehow affect the aosp lock? No idea.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ausman89:
Running Masta's 8/8 build, A2DP from Google Music sounds horrible. I saw a few others weren't having any issues, but am curious if anyone not having issues with it is using Google Music for streaming?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] odmejia:
I am having a big brain fart!! I just flashed 10.2 but when I go into TB its unable to gain any root access or any app that needs root access like ROM toolbox, I have been rooted for a while now, hence why I am able to flash through TW but what could be causing me this small little problem? thanks in advance

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NegativeOne:
Can anyone say what the differences between the different unofficial builds are ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zcmack:
i'm still on 8/6. wanted to see what the battery was like after settling in for a day. pretty much on par with 10.1 for my phone.

hangouts video chat doesn't work. and i get a few random freezes/reboots still. yesterday once while browsing instagram and another this morning when my alarm app started going off (while i was plugged in/charging). being late to work sucks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] stearic:
How does it sound horrible? Are you using the dsp manager with it at all?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] odmejia:
Duh!! I knew that lol thanks for the help
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] khymbote:
My usual troubleshooting is if you have gps tools installed is to clear data on that app. clear data on maps and then on Google framework services. I believe you said you flashed the gps fix from this forum http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1880411. I use GPS Test 3. I also did the tighten screws and that worked wonders. After clearing all that I go outside for a clear view of the sky. do a gps tools lock and then I open maps and let it lock on. Usually after that I am golden.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Prack:
Today's build is working as well as the last. Same two issues though, focal crash after one picture and voice+ force close on enable.

I'm about to flash leankernel for 4.3 as well located here: https://app.box.com/shared/fprez5sq1kx66fsu8znx
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] airmaxx23:
I posted the lean kernel link a few pages back, it's been running fine for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PsiPhiDan:
Awesome, are you planning to post that? I'd love to try it (not sure if it is in the other builds being posted...)!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Prack:
Leankernel for 4.3 is running well for me as well. Overclocked CPU to 1836MHz and Overclocked GPU to 480MHz and everything is smooth and stable. One catch though if you use lkflash you will be told the 7.2 is the lastest version. Don't flash it or you will install a 4.2 kernel and have to reflash your ROM :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jlokos:
I'm on Masta's 8/8 build, and GPS locked immediately both at home and work and the location was dead on. Also or those of you who use BT voice dialing. it is finally working like it used to on ICS roms. It understands your voice commands and dials the correct person.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ausman89:
**edit

Nevermind.

I just tried again and it took multiple app kills of Google music but it is working now. Idk what was up with it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] khymbote:
Ok I must be blind here as I have seen the kernel tools before but I cant find them now. :(

Thanks, so far running strong!

Also, just noticed they changed the signal bars from saying 4G to LTE. Wonder why, not that it matters.

EDIT: Also, any idea why wifi shows as being on 24/7 in the battery monitor? It shows as on even though I leave it disabled,
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zetsumeikuro:
I think disabling HW overlays does more harm than good now. I've stopped disabling them and there are rarely any stutters during animations anymore if any. Everything is butter
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] odmejia:
Dirty flashing or clean? Has anyone tried dirty? I got the notification and downloaded 8/9.. Just would like to dirty flash instead of wiping everything as I just installed 8/8 this morning haha
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] khymbote:

Anyone having issues using the Android Device Manager, here is what I did to fix it for my GS3 and Nexus 7:

Open Google Settings from your device's apps menu.

Touch Android Device Manager.

Uncheck Allow remote factory reset.

Go to your device's main Settings menu, then touch Apps > All < Google Play services.

Touch Clear Data. Note that this action doesn't remove personal data.

Go back to Google Settings and select Allow remote factory reset.

Restart your device.

Once your device restarts, wait around five minutes and refresh.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
That's how the Google edition phones are done so they changed it. Wouldn't be surprised if nexus follows suit.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Dirty should be fine. No data wipe needed. Caches and system if you feel better doing something.
