There were some wifi differences between the two builds, probably changes upstream that may need kernel and/or device tree changes to match:

bcmdhd_mfg.bin_b2 changed, which, IIRC is the primary wifi firmware.. the nvram files for it changed, and the wpa_supplicant.conf changed.

I also have no wifi after updating from 8/5 to one of the 8/6 builds (I'm assuming the same one everyone has issues with, but I downloaded via my phone, so I had to rename the file myself from the stupid google docs download filename. Build date is 8/6 15:26:04).

Edit: for a quick test, I dropped the contents of that folder from the first 8/6 build into my /system/etc/wifi folder and rebooted, and wifi works for me again.

Edit2: this may be all you need.. https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...mmit/e274047162edfcfd5dea8cc8b9af274fc8f0e322
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DeathKoil:
I rebooted the phone, attempted to turn on wifi a few times, and dumped the dmesg output to the file, which is attached. I have not gotten to look through it yet, as I'm on my mobile right now.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] araemo:
Yep, I think that confirms the change in my post above will fix it.

Small segment of your dmesg:

<7>[ 18.235281] dhd_bus_start: nvram_type = [txt_semcosh]
<7>[ 18.339691] _dhdsdio_download_firmware: dongle nvram file download failed
<7>[ 18.339783] dhd_bus_start: dhdsdio_probe_download failed. firmware or nvram wrong
<7>[ 18.339783] dhdsdio_probe: dhd_bus_start failed

Edit: Yep, confirmed..

With the /system/etc/wifi files from 8.6-d2att.zip, all I have to do is copy the files as detailed in this commit, and wifi works again after a reboot:

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/47192/

Also, I don't know what the difference between the semcosh and murata are, but perhaps those who had working wifi on 8.6-d2att.zip had murata hardware revision, so they had the necessary firmware?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 2new2care:
Yup I just added the two files ending in "semcosh" from my 8/5 zip to my WiFi folder and rebooted, viola WiFi...nice work!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] liebowa:
GREAT job finding this!

So, I'm curious why WI-FI worked for some, and not others.

My WI-FI did not work, and I did a complete WIPE.

I read that others WI-FI did not work, and they did a dirty flash.

And, I think I read that yet others DID work, but they did a complete WIPE.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PwnCakes193:
I'll implement the change after I get out of class today. Weird how it works for certain people. Sorry about the issues guys :(

I live near Stony Brook, going to school there ;)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] x0ne215:
No, thank you for going beyond what move dev's are willing to. You should never have to take off work just to play with the ROM, but it's much appreciated :highfive:

Would throw coin your way, but kinda tight here atm.

Will be flashing shortly, curious as to the WiFi issue. Just wanted to say thank you though, especially for more than 1 build a day :angel:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PwnCakes193:
I enjoy tweaking these builds more than I would ever enjoy going to work, plus one day of work puts me back a decent amount of time on the ROM, and it's just catchup at that point.

I'm sorry for being a noob but can anyone tell me how to install or implement the fix for WiFi? I tried copying it with root explorer but nothing happen. TIA
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] x0ne215:
Just as a quick update

Clean flash newest build (wipe data, cache, system, dalvik)

WiFi worked immediately, coming from Illusion 2.1, ULCK3 (or w/e that one is).
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PwnCakes193:
Tag that's actually the perfect method to do everything! If you have any issues then a clean wipe is in your future.

hello Pawn,

been using 2.12 for couple of days...looks really solid, thanks for that.

i have a question tho, do I have to install the gapps you linked to in your v2.20 post or I can install gapps for 4.3 on goo.im? last time when i installed 2.12 i didnt notice gapps, so just installed the one on goo.im...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Nic2112:
The ROM is great, the hosting site is horrible, I have to download 10 times for it to complete once on the phone.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rob_z11:
You still have other partition I hope. When you do wipe in 4.3.x, you are only wiping your user partition, but previous partition is still there if you store all your files and backup from your 4.1 or 4.2.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SlothlyDX:
The ones on goo will work.

Crack-Flasher
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] chirantan.f:
ok thanks, can you tell me whats the difference between these 2 gapps? there seems to be size difference between them
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] hytran:
Not what we were talking about at all, but thanks...

Latest is running nice and smooth so far, as one would expect!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] MJPollard:
The only difference between the one PwnCakes linked to and the official one on Goo.im is that the first one has the most up-to-date versions of the Google apps, circa 10/10 (the official one is from 8/13). Just personal preference, really. If you're not sure, you can just stick to the official one and you'll still be okay.

Does the 1.60 kernel work for anyone on the latest Slim Rom? I'm getting green screens, distortion, etc...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PwnCakes193:
Was SlimROM built after 10/19?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 850T5m:
I'm using SlimHalo, built on 10/20, based on slim Rom 1.9

I'm not sure if it's after 10/19...

I'll wait for the next Rom update
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CrackerTeg:
It was built late 10/19 but they didn't push the commits cm put out. Basically any kernel built before 10/19 will work on latest slim and slimhalo.

Hmm, for the first time since v1, Dev Host keeps giving me "Download Unsuccessful" when trying to download in Chrome. I cleared cache, make sure it was updated, closed all tabs, to no success. :confused:

Love the ROM speed is beyond all others I've tried and I've done almost all of them.

Only issue I'm having is blue tooth connecting then disconnecting. Phone comes in my Sliver II connects then won't be connected the following call. Weird deal see there's Blue tooth issues listed on 1st page. Any ideas or is this the price for speed?

Just did a full clean install of quantum v2.20 and I'm getting these weird screen flickering.

Does anyone know what's causing this issue or a possible solution? Managed to get a screen shot of it happening...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TheSchatz:
Alright, so according to trickster my gpu never seems to drop below 300. This has been happening to me for at least the last 5 versions of quantum (v1.9 v 2.1 v2.11 v2.12 and now v2.2), maybe more as I never really checked before then. I've troubleshot as far as I know how, with no luck.

Has anyone else seen something similar? I've done both dirty and clean flashes, full system/data/cache/dalvik wipes, with no change. Any help is appreciated, thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PwnCakes193:
You probably can't run these releases. Try the newest cm and see if it still happens.

Same thing here. It's been like this for a long time. I don't know what exactly made it change
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TheSchatz:
Well that's a relief, I thought I would have to sort through every app I've got to find a culprit :D

I´m flash the kernel 1.60 in Quantum 2.12 and my device never boot , constantly reboot, back again to kernel 1.52x , I have doing clean dalvik cache and more :crying:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KorGuy123:
If you read Pwn's changelog you would have seen that the kernel was only compatible with Roms released after 10/19
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] hytran:
Again, reading the OP, Quantum 2.12 is dated 10/18, which according to my calendar is PRE-10/19 ;) Kernel 1.60 is ONLY for ROMs after 10/19!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jasonv31:
What does robs comment have to do with Pwn's kernel compatibility? He's talking about overall compatibility with android 4.3.1 :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PwnCakes193:
He misquoted another user. The issue is that the ROM needs to support the new MDP drivers.

So for the first time, I'm going home for the weekend. You won't see any new releases probably, unless something crazy comes up and then it will probably just be a kernel. I suggest you all download the new Plants vs. Zombies to hold yourselves over :cowboy:

Dirty flashed 2.20 this morning. Smooth as glass. No SODs, only one boot hangup (right after installing, which I expect). No negative effect on battery life that I can see. PwnCakes, you're spoiling us with these trouble-free releases! We need troublesome releases to get our juices boiling!. :D LOL
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] berryman13:
Switching from pac 10/20 and 10/21 nightlies plus Kt back to to quantum + qcore but probably quantum + kt at first because of the proprietary ktweaker app and the deeper level of customization it provides, plus I already have good startup settings that can't be carried to trickster.... But If there are any issues then back to qcore I go.

Quantum is definitely the best (most stable and battery efficient) 4.3.1 Rom out there without the fluff right now and pac really needs to catch up with some cm commits or something cause it, plus the newest kt kernel causes crashes, reboots, massive battery drain when I actually am able to use it and just overall a negative experience that isn't suitable as a daily driver regardless of the features and customization (most of both I do not utilize to their full extent do what's the point anyways, I have no gripes with quantum, nova + icon theme and gem as my cm overall theme...) however PACs wake lock blocker is phenomenal and definitely something you should consider implementing pwn!

See you guys again soon, peace
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] MJPollard:
That's what I love about Quantum: it's a lean, mean CyanogenMod machine. :D
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] MJPollard:
One suggestion I have is to have either the OP or the first few messages include common questions with links to individual messages in the forums that answer them. For example, "What version of gapps do I need?" could be a link to the Google Apps download. "Where can I download Quantum?" could be a link to this thread. Etc., etc. Saves a lot of time typing up a bunch of descriptive answers (which you could still do for various other questions, but links to existing downloads/messages save time). Sound workable to you?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] berryman13:
Absolutely! The more the better. This is gonna span over just the OP, maybe a few posts. I want it to include the bare bones basics all the up to the most minute detail of a bug that may only affect a few users... And everything in between. My dream is to make the one stop shop for everything quantum related for the absolute beginner to veteran.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] :
I know this is probably a given, but also a section for bootloader upgrade, since there's always going to be people clueless on how to do so and wouldn't know they had to do one unless someone told them.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] berryman13:
This all sounds good but I have yet to receive a single PM with any Q: and A: :(
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] czechpunk:
Not sure what all would be involved, but it looks as though our first leaks of an official 4.3 ROM are coming out and some enterprises individuals have already made some flashable versions and also extracted the modem. Could this be the answer to our prayers for proper bluetooth connectivity for 4.3 ROMS (such as our beloved Quantum?)

does it cause major battery drain.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pberge:
The Ondemand gpu governor never seems to drop below 300 for me either. The only way I have been able to get my gpu to drop lower than this is using BMS kernel and the simple gpu governor with a threshold somewhat lower than the default 5500. I find 3500 works really well. As far as I know, the only app that allows you to adjust the threshold is Trickster Mod.

With this setup, gpu consistently drops to 128 under light loads.

Any chance of getting the Simple gpu governor in this kernel?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PwnCakes193:
We'll find out soon.

I installed your ROM and everything works perfect for me besides for the sound playback quality. I was previously running stock and I have a set of jvc ha-fxt90 and they sounded perfect when I played back any type of media. With this ROM, I get some massive static sounds on both the highs and the lows when playing back any type of media (music through poweramp, and YouTube app).
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] :
Have you tried rebooting it? If not try checking DSP Manager to make sure it's something there. If not, there's a chance it could be a hardware issue, so try it out with different headphones but if this persists, do clean install again and if it continues no matter what ROM, then replacement headphone jacks/speakers run about $15 on Amazon.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] boxxyoho:
Yea I originally thought it was a hardware issue so I exchanged the headphones for a new pair. Same sound problem. If I nandroid my phone back to any touchwiz ROM it goes away. I did install this ROM from a clean install as well. The headphones work perfect with any device besides for this ROM.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PwnCakes193:
That seems really weird. I have a pair of Beyerdynamic DT-770's that I've had for years and I've never heard any static or anything (Maybe it's because I've been playing drums for years and my hearing is bad).

It could be a sound driver issue, try out an older release, preferably pre 2.0 or so. Try 1.9 or 1.95.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] berryman13:
Have you tried viper4android? That may fix your problem.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PwnCakes193:
I don't think that'll fix it. AOSP ROMs have worsened sound quality than Touchwiz does. It's the way the drivers get called.

Anyway after a whole day of testing I give 2.22 and the newest modem a good old thumbs up. Everything has been working great and a lot of cherry-picks I've used so far have already been merged!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] czechpunk:
Can we flash the leaked 4.3 modem onto v2.20 ?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] RobertFontaine:
All these new radio/modem update. Those of us with i747m are going to get jealous.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PwnCakes193:
You can, but installing any other 4.3 ROM will not load due to the fact that nobody has the bootloader assert ready yet. Like always I thought ahead and fixed it for 2.22, so all you have to do is just install like normal.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] czechpunk:
Dude, you rule!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PwnCakes193:
Mostly just a clean up release. Fixin' some bugs :D
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] berryman13:
Cool! Is a link to just the modem and bootloader available in the lean thread? I'm not going to use any other rom so I'm not worried. You're saying with 2.22 we can run the leaked modem and bootloader in conjunction with no (known) issues? :)

I don't want to test it until I get confirmation that we can use both, or one (I know the modem is compatible but I dunno about the bootloader which I would want to flash too unless you say not to) cause I know that's a fast track to a brick...

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] berryman13:
Oh cool, I figured they weren't cause the nightly CM build wasn't out but I assume they were already merged with the source and just get built at midnight or something, glad you're ahead of the game :cool:

Quantum has the latest CM features before the CM 10.2 nightly thread does. What do you guys think about THAT? :good:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] czechpunk:
Every time I check the official CM thread, all I read is how something is broken or phone is randomly rebooting or battery life sucks, and I come here and not only has Pwn already worked up the latest and greatest, he's even included commits for the new modem and bootloader. Great work!

BTW, I've been running this ROM since day 1, before it was Quantum and was simply a CM10.2 port before CM would officially release because I wanted 4.3; it has never disappointed, always had great battery life and made me very appreciative for all of Pwn's hard work.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] berryman13:
I agree with EVERYTHING you said...always check the official nightly thread and see people reporting problems, while this thread is usually people saying awesome! great work! flawless! test release has no bugs so far! etc etc...

Also have been using Quantum since (almost) the beginning, however the one thing I still need to work on (it's my thing to deal with, don't think Pwn could do anything about it) is battery life. I have a lot of apps installed, a handful of games, etc, but I can't imagine that it causes much more drain than stock. I use greenify and the works, and with moderate/heavy usage I can ALMOST get a day's worth of battery, but around this time (8pm) I need to plug in cause it's about to die. Working on pulling some tweaks out of the various popular zips like killjoy and fly-on mod and whatever, hopefully some good init.d scripts in there for battery. I use kt's kernel -50 undervolted and my frequencies are 135MHZ-1188MHz, ktoonservative on the first core and pegasusQ on the second. All in all I love the ROM, kernel is great but I still prefer KTweaker, just need to get my settings right so I can squeeze a little more out of the battery.

GREAT freakin' work Pwn!!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PwnCakes193:
Oh man those settings remind me of KT. I stopped using it just because I always noticed a larger battery drain compared to every other kernel. I would stick to just one governor occupying both cores, as too many can cause your phone to overwork a little bit. I would also cut down on the Underclocking and such as well.

PegasusQ was made for quad core devices, I used to love how it made the phone hotplug "correctly", but after a while I noticed the drain was too bad and even switched to interactive and got better battery life. I usually get about 2-3 hours of screen on with about 12 hours of use or more, depends on how much music I listen to. Today I drove for 5 hours, streaming music over bluetooth and it just died about an hour ago, with 2.5 hours of screen on using intellidemand stock settings that I have in place.
