It seems like a lot of people are experiencing this. I did a clean flash going from v3.25 and have also experienced the camera error. School will start in 2 days, so I probably won't need to use my camera all that much, thankfully.

Hopefully Pwn isn't getting stressed out reading about this error, I thank you Pwn for the wonderful ROM. Every update feels like Christmas lol, hoping next update will patch the camera issue, unless it's really something that re-flashing the ROM will fix. If anybody has re-flashed and the issue was resolved, please quote me and let me know. It's a pretty weird glitch.

OH PWN, I don't know if this will help you, but the last 2 times I tried opening up the camera after a reboot, my keyboard popped up for a little bit before giving me the, "Unfortunately, Camera has stopped." message.

EDIT: Just wanted to add this bit. On Reddit I saw a funny post, the image was something screenshotted from the iPhone. I noticed they had this mod for their reception:

I think it would be cool to get this on Android, maybe through Quantum? Maybe not. Or through Xposed. I'm just throwing it out there for you all to see.

What's most stable kernel and ROM?

hi,

I'm new to Quantum.

I've used CM ROMs till I hit issue of absence of MHL driver to get HDMI in CM ROMs.

As result I went back from 4.3 CM to 4.1 Samsung based ROM

I'd like to have stable 4.3 with BT and MHL working.

The best if I can get fast charge as well.

Which ROM / Kernel would you recommend me to start with?

Will I be able to restore my current 4.1 if something will not work for me in 4.3/4.4?

I read that 4.3 comes with another boot loader and there will be no way back to prev boot loader.

Thank you for guidance.

Ok so now I've spent numerous hours trying to figure this out. How do I go about updating modem and bootloader because I can't even get quantum v2 to install. trying to install on a s3 I picked up from a friend. everything is up to date with cwm modem is I747UCLH9. I'm guessing it's something to do with the modem or bootloader , the only rom I can get to load is Slimbean stable. Really want to put Quantum v3 on this phone.

Camera Issue Fix

For everyone having camera issues, this is how I fixed it:

1. Force stop camera app, and clear its data.

2. Boot into recovery and clear cache/dalvik

3. Install Focal from play store

4. Once Focal is up and running, take a picture.

5. Open up default camera app, everything should be working now :)

6. Remove Focal

Hope this helps :D

Well while I was trying to come up with a solution, I wanted to install a 3rd party camera app to see if my device could actually "connect to the camera."

Because Focal is CM based and Quantum is CM based, I thought it was be the best 3rd party camera app to test with.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] :
So first of all, did you do the OTA to the official 4.3 update? That update is the one that won't allow you to go backwards. For MHL, not sure what the situation is, but it is broken in most, if not all stock AOSP based ROMs. As for Bluetooth, it can be inconsistent in stock AOSP based ROMs, since the code Samsung uses in the stock software is closed source and cannot be built upon by others, meaning devs have to do their best for stability, but it can be kinda wonky. :rolleyes: For ROM and kernel, Quantum and its stock kernel are excellent for me, usually around 4 hours of screen on time with my stock battery. You will be able to restore your current 4.1 ROM if you perform a Nandroid backup in your recovery. That way, if something happens, you can restore your rom, its settings, media, etc. These do sound like sacrifices, but for performance, battery life, and stability, I prefer Quantum over TouchWiz any day.

My battery life is so horrible. The phone continues to drain even in idle. My major wakelocks are "wlan_rx_wake", "sec-battery-monitor." I don't know how to stop these wakelocks. On top of this google search is using up the cpu and I never even opened it. Im already at 93 percent with only 14 minutes screen time.

I seeing a bunch of people posting excellent battery lives but with this new update, its been a steady downhill decline for me. Any help?

Camera fix

In an earlier post I said I had no camera issues. I was wrong. After closing out of camera & then trying to use it again I got the "can't connect to camera" deal. I found this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2505973 in the cm nightly forum. I flashed the "fixed camera for cm all aosp roms v3"(3rd download file) & then installed the apk "restart camera" (first download file). Taken several series of pictures, closed camera app completely, restarted camera, took more pics several times, closing out camera app each time. Then I started another app which uses the camera, worked perfectly, closed app. Opened camera app again & took more pics. Seems to work OK. Haven't been able to find where to set save pics to external sd yet...saves pics to internal phone storage...says settings in there somewhere. CM nightly has many threads on camera problems with CM11.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mikek753:
hi,

thanks for the reply.

No, I didn't take OTA 4.3 update, I'm on 4.1.

This is what I read as well about AOSP based ROMs, none supports Samsung closed drivers for MHL - I tried multiple and no luck for MHL. I opened JIRA for CM for this matter as well - no resolution.

So, I'm looking for Samsung based ROM that comes with MHL and BT drivers.

I need those for car integration and it's key for me while for others 99% MHL isn't priority at all.

What should I download to get Samsung based ROM with 4.3 / 4.4 functionality?

I usually just install ROM and later gapps from ROM Manager restore. I never installed Kernel separately from ROM as I think that rOM comes with Kernel - isn't it?

Please, guide me to get 4.3 Samsung based ROM without OTA knox and other crap

thanks.

- Clean installs for me every time.

- Google backup turned off on first startup. Although I see it running once and awhile.l also hibernated.

- Device manager (gps wipe/lock) turned off

- Find a stable undervolt - My lowest step 384000Mhz is at 700mV.. Can't go any lower lol but not stable for everyone.

- I should add these to the start of my guide. Check that out as well. (if your up for reading) :laugh: Xposed, Greenify and Tasker are your best friends!

This is idle with 40min of screen time which when used, always kills battery of course. If my Airplane Mode profile was set every night it would have been a greater % savings but the weekend is off for me.

Idle you should see similar results - Stock battery

I actually use your guide, the only thing I change is keeping mobile data on. I always clean install too. Maybe I should re-wipe and try again. Battery life isn't horrible, but it's not as good as it was on the last build, where I wasn't getting the aforementioned wakelocks.

BT issues

I'm on the latest 3.25 (dirty flash) and continue to have issues with Bluetooth (A2DP).

There are obvious improvements in BT connectivity - the phone part connects right away 80% of the time; however, the A2DP part is still very buggy:

Sometimes, it does not connect at all until I reboot

Often, the phone reboots itself upon successful connection of A2DP

Sometimes, it shows that it is connected and even playing the music (timer); however, it does not send any audio

Sometimes, it does not display any song information (ID3 tags)

I will have to reflash the BMS (12/9) Kernel that has the best BT connectivity record so far...
