Do I Need Kit Kat Bootloader?

I installed this ROM, I wiped cache, dalvik cache, formatted system, wiped the caches again first, ZIP failed installing, said there was a problem with the ZIP. I'm coming from a 4.3 ROM. Do I need to install the Kit Kat bootloader first? Not sure what is wrong. I downloaded the ROM twice as well. :confused:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] slayer8366:
I came from the leaked TW 4.3 to jermaine's 4.4 ROM and the only thing I had to update was my recovery, which used to be TWRP, but is now the latest CWM.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] anil2653:
Are you on latest firmware

It is better to first flash MD 5 firmware so it will update your bootloader / modem

Check your download and match checksum for me it was mismatch in first download so may be bed download

Then reflash hope everything should work
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] anil2653:
My battery stats for second charge is

Total wake time is 7 hrs

With 5 hrs of screen on time

All Google services enabled like location and sync in Google, facebook, whatsapp, exchange mail etc and all these caused 2 hrs extra wake up

But not bad with this settings
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Negativezeroxxxx:
Have you made any phone calls? It seems to be a huge drainer for me, and I'm at 32% now with only 2 hours of screen on. Even tried switching to ktoonservative but didn't seem to help the battery much
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] anil2653:
I have made around 15 minutes of calls in this

I have imported KT Setting from this

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2367975

And using grinify to hibernate unwanted application to wake up

Try this setting and see

Use better battery Stats to monitor your battery drain as it will help you find out the reason for more battery drain

These Files Worked For Me.

:D

I tried the latest CWM and CWM Touch downloads from the CWM official website, flashed them in Terminal Emulator, I'd reboot into recovery and it would be the stock recovery.

I searched around though and found an md5 which can be flashed in Odin, after doing so the ROM flashed fine.

I'll attach the files and the Odin I used to this post if it helps anyone else. Remember you need to boot into download mode to flash with Odin, volume button down and home button when rebooting.

Edit: Had to add the file to a ZIP but the files attached you unzip, not flash in recovery, won't let me upload an md5 file here. :rolleyes:

So, boot into download mode, unzip both files, run Odin from the Odin folder, click on PDA in Odin, browse to the CWM md5 file you unzipped from here, add it, click Start, let it flash and reboot. Then reboot into recovery, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache then format system. Next wipe both caches again, flash ROM, success!! :D
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] rudolf13:
I was so intimidated by reading this post, that i just decided to install this rom.

I am already on cm11 but getting very bad battery life.

I downloaded this rom, went to recovery, wiped data and cache etc,, then selected this rom,,and got this error..

opened this forum again then i came to know its not for my i9300 :(
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] serio22:
You are so lucky you got an error, if it would've flashed you would've ended up with a brick

Anybody else getting these wakelocks? Tried to force stop Google now hoping it'd get rid of the entries refresh one but to no avail.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] anil2653:
I am getting very good battery life on this rom earlier my power manager wakelog was 2 hrs and I converted Google play services to user application and now my power manager wakelog reduced to 1hrs

Now my battery performance is
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Negativezeroxxxx:
Wow lucky you, I can barely get 3 hours of screen time in about 12 hours total on time. Do you also have the entries refresh wakelock? I thought it had to do with either the always listening Google now or the widget but I'm using Nova and it's still there, so I'm not sure if that's what's causing my horrible battery life. Also when I tried to convert Google play services to a user app it got an error and now I can't use Google now or the play store, so probably going to have to reflash gapps. What method did you use to convert it?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] anil2653:
I am using titanium backup pro for this

Once you can reflash gapps and disable location reporting in Google and if you are not using disable Google now and hangout too

Because I observed that some of Google services are continuing to sync up and frequently causing wakelock to device

In titanium I frozen all those I don't use and safe to freeze

Release 6 update :

1. Updated to latest KT Kernel by Ktoonsez

2. Updated to latest CM11 build by Jermaine

3. Updated to latest mini GAPPS (11-26-2013)

download link : http://d-h.st/ByF

download size : 202 MB

OP will be updated soon!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Jiggs82:
So there's no latest commits from as recent as today in this build or this is just built over Jermaine's beta 7 rom? Sorry for the noob question lol
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheLastSidekick:
Never a noob question my buddy, it's exactly the same build Jermaine releases, his latest release will be my latest release. Any bugs you find in the base CM11 ROM will without a doubt be in my kang.

The kang I release is more for better battery, a smidget of better performance, and built-in GAPPS...basically this would been what I would have been using if I didn't have my N5, :P
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Jiggs82:
Lol ok show off :p but thanks for the quick reply and hopefully i will be getting my N5 very soon:D

Are you going to be adding support for the new 4.3 bootloader as i have to edit the updater-script whenever i want to install the new update.

---------- Post added at 01:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:35 AM ----------

wth is the keyboard? this rom is useless if there's no keyboard to sign in to google. can someone make a zip that can be flashed with the stock keyboard.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] anil2653:
Thanks TheLastSidekick

downloading now..
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheLastSidekick:
I've now heard about this twice. Others have said it worked fine...try the latest release should be okay unless I missed something. If there's an actual problem with today's build I'll whip out the S3 and check it out.

And I can't add support for 4.3 because I haven't updated myself so I don't know of the changes I need to make. If someone can show me the edits they made I will gladly implement it for the new bootloader and comment them in OP.

​
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] asj2583:
I looked at all the install apps and didn't see a keyboard installed so maybe you left it out.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheLastSidekick:
thanks I'll take a look. Meanwhile link is down until I can get back on my PC.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] asj2583:
I've attached a picture of the updater-script edit i did. pretty much all i did was delete everything from the top line to where the semi colon is where it says mount.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] asj2583:
Ok guys, what i did to get the keyboard working was i downloaded the base from here --> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2518957, extracted the latinime.apk and copied it to this rom /system/apk folder and reflashed and got it working. Hope this helps.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] anil2653:
I done a dirty installation on previous versions

:thumbup:

Everything is working smoothly without any issues
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Kamau54:
So is there a keyboard in the latest release?

Sent from my Xoom using a Starfleet secured channel
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Quarmzz:
Any special flash-over directions? Awesome ROM BTW
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] anil2653:
As a practice I will format data, both cache then system and install a rom

Special for this is that no need to install gapps

Very stable and smooth for me

No issues

There isn't one till it gets fixed, which in all honesty just needed the keyboard apk added to the rom.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] xx2dxtremexx:
Tried installing through twrp and cwm and both are failing to install the rom
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] gtso:
Installed fine on mine using cwm. However when i try to browse my external sd card using es file explorer, it says invalid path.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheLastSidekick:
^ probably still some problems with SD cards on CM11. Unfortunately Jermaine has moved on..so I will have to stop supporting this thread. Sorry guys. If someone else starts building or I get a bigger HDD for my laptop I'll re support and go at it.

You guys are free to comment, but this base will quickly deteriorate. Once a new CM11 post opens up, I will attempt to collaborate with the build master to bring kangs back. I tried to download CM11 source on Ubuntu before I got my nexus 5 two weeks ago and bam...too much space was needed and I have tons of applications on my laptop.

That being said this is not me giving up on d2tmo..if anyone would like to try and build CM11 with ample disk space and a decent processor I'll help you setup a VM with Ubuntu. I do not yet know about cherry picking from Gerrit...that's on my to do list when I get a bigger HDD.

​
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] neotoky:
Click on the sdcard tab on top and then click on device. There are two folders you can click on to browse your card: external_sd and extSdCard. That's how I browse through my external card using since I also have that invalid path error.

Lol thanks. That one worked.

Anyone else getting a status 7 abortion when trying to install??? I tried cwm touch latest version and twrp latest version and both are giving me a status 7 error. I even redownloaded the zip file 4 times and from different internet explorers and still the same thing?????
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] :
Last time I checked, ROMS do not provide abortions. DEFINTELY not a Status 7 abortion. I don't even know what that would do. But anyway, back to your original question, the Status 7 error you are getting is showing up because you have an outdated bootloader. Go search around on the TMO forum for the update. Hope this helped.

I am in love with the emojis that is on the unofficial 4.4.

I do get these right with this rom?

does it have some items ironed out? so far 4.4 is great on my s3 =) i was just wondering.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Negativezeroxxxx:
less than 5 minutes of screen on time, something seems to be draining my battery very badly as I only get about 2 hours of use even with a ktoonservative profile from ktweaker thread. Also on the uvuemj4 modem instead of uvuemjc to see if that would've gotten rid of rilj wakelock but nothing has really helped. Have very few apps installed and using greenify
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheLastSidekick:
I'm not sure but Google Keyboard gave bad results in the past with battery. But it was only the only free keyboard I could include. Maybe try a new one?

Maybe try an older modem too like UVULJC (I can't remember its the one before UVDMD5)

Also sometimes you need a few cycles. I can't explain this part. Occasionally I'll get horrible battery drain for a few days and it just stops.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] halr9000:
Looking great so far! The only quirk I see right now is that once I told the hangouts app to take over SMS, the messaging app just won't let go. It has a persistent notification of unread messages that I'm unable to clear. Might be able to fix it through some clear data or ti backup methods, I imagine, but just wanted to note in case anyone else is seeing this. I have used hangouts as SMS on two previous ROMs with the same phone and did not see this occur.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheLastSidekick:
Hmm, considering if you don't use Hangouts, you could uninstall it. And if you do use it, reinstall it from the market and see if that fixes it.

Post 2 of my replies... for anyone with RilJ battery issues, this is a good read.

To my understanding- you can flash the rom, but you will have no data as the modem is not compatible(will brick).

Have been running for about a week or two and just now it started randomly rebooting and the home/lock button don't work very well, and the phone will shut off randomly while using it and when pressing the lock button it will open the power menu sometimes and will shut itself off right after being turned on. Also tried going into recovery and would randomly move through the menus without me doing so then rebooted before I could try wiping caches. Anybody know what's going on?

Nevermind, my lock button was locking upon touching it instead of pressing it down for some reason and randomly fixed itself.

funny bug: mute

Funny story. I joined a work conference call that was poorly timed, had to jump in the car to go pick up the little kids from preschool. I get to school, kids are being loud and getting into their seats and whatever. I'm using a headset and had muted the call. Someone on the call laughing, said "is someone having a party"? Then I say "I thought I had muted the phone, you can hear me now?" "Yes", comes the reply.

Oops. Can anyone else test to see if mute works or not when using this ROM and a corded headset? I've not tried BT.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sipher26:

now if this is 4.4 which it is, mute doesn't work

Love this rom. Just had to downgrade to the last build with built in keyboard as I tried to run art and it wouldn't boot.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheLastSidekick:
Well, sorry but maybe if you're still around you'd like to check this out.

Notes about June 26th, 2014 CM11 4.4.4 Kang :

- ART should be default, but please let me know if it's not in developer options. Thanks.

- D2TMO/D2ATT ONLY!!! Non-GSM blobs have been removed to lower file size.

- Already rooted, but you should install SuperSU 2.00 or later.

- Build.prop re-modified

- Nova Launcher has replaced Trebuchet (Nova supports OK, Google hotword, just enable it in settings)

- As a easy to make decision, I have decided to remove GAPPS entirely, for ROM size and because you should have GAPPS on your internal anyways

- ROM SHOULD BE RUNNING ART BY DEFAULT. DALVIK IS DEPRECIATED, BUT THIS ROM SHOULD STILL FUNCTION FINE EVEN ON DALVIK.

- Debloated, as in the entire system, CyanogenMod Bloat, ringtones, notifications, alarms have been heavily reduced to bare essentials.

- YAY! Swiftkey became free, so I will include it by default in my ROMs from now on. If you don't like it, just install Google Keyboard, or anything else.

- Modified Android Emojis with SoftBank (iOS 7) emojis, for system-wide integration. (Thanks [MENTION=3505630]angelsel[/MENTION])

(Further changes were probably too small for me to remember)

A little more information about this release and what I hope to achieve :

It's been around 7 months since I became an RC, and moved over to the Google Nexus 5. I sold the Galaxy S3 to a friend. And I sincerely miss not only the d2tmo community (@saranhai, [MENTION=4081205]DocHoliday77[/MENTION] who also helped me learn), but the device itself. I love the Nexus 5, and I believe it truly is amazing. I do personal kangs often on my Nexus 5, but don't release them because a lot of it is AOSP and original development work, and not everyone is going to give me permission to use their work. The S3 is old and dying, and I feel like it's still powerful ; so here's why I'm still here and reviving this super ancient thread. I hope you enjoy it!

Lost my 4G

Been on CM for a loooong time, 4G stopped working the other day. Turns out I needed the latest modem and that fixed the problem. Maybe T-mobile phased out the old modem compatibility or something. I made a backup and then flashed root66 and then restored the backup and all was well.

Just wanted to share in case someone else was having the same issue.

Also, Heimdall worked great on fedora linux to flash root66, only had to jump through a couple of hoops but it worked great.

Wonderful rom! Only issue have ran into is the Google play service wake lock that won't go away and dev tools wont open, so I can turn off animations and etc. Tried using spare parts app but the settings just revert. Other than that it's a great rom running Ktoonez kernel.

I may push out another build for Lollipop when CM12 comes out. My time over at the Nexus 5 forums have made me learn a lot. The wakelocks in the ROM were due to the Gapps at the time. Nothing I could really fix back then. But the good news seems to be mostly everything is stable now.
