Also with people getting crazy battery life.....are they on Dalvik or ART? My battery isn't coming close to these others.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jermaine151:
I use Dalvik and get great battery life with the Google keyboard disabled.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Unythios:
Hmmmm so what keyboard are you using then?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sonnykaiboy:
OK having issues with root running art. I know that there is a su zip which I installed. Tried to update it. No good. Oh and amazing work bro. Been running this for a couple days with little to no issues besides the ones already reported
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] lantigua:
let the thread correct me if im wrong........ART takes away root capabilities

---------- Post added at 03:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:08 PM ----------

i have been running build 4 for the past 3 days..here is what i think of it

THIS ROM IS THE SHHHHHHIIIIIIIETTTTTTT !!!!!

since the G1 i have played with probably every rom ever created (i am a recovering flash addict) and this is by far the best rom i have ever used. dont know if its a KitKat thing or jermaine151's touch...but it is amazing

PROS

battery life is mo'fo awesome on Dalvik.

Smooth as ****

GPS is scary fast to lock (google gonna have fun with this)

Bluetooth is legit

and so on

CONS

headset and speaker volume is kinda low ( i could live with that for now)

tried running ART but apps like TiBu, Whatsapp, Cerberus and Greenify were giving some trouble. guess its a ROOT thing

and thats all I have ran into

mind you that Im not the type to run 281094724 apps at a time, or chitchat all day while texting all night....i do my socialnetworking over the actual websites, dont use the apps...and dont really do games

and finally, i dont give a ****...ban me for cursing AND SCREAMING all over this post.....I DONT NEED ANOTHER ROM...THIS IS IT FOR ME !!!!!

thank you jermaine151 !
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jermaine151:
You're welcome Bro! I'm starting to think you like it! :cool:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Unythios:
Definitely need to do a fresh install then. Cause on Dalvik now and fully charged battery, I'm down 27% battery in 52 mins. Made a 3 min phone call and that's saying it's 44% of my battery drain.

Battery life is horrible here
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] netsmagic:
To everyone experiencing great battery life: how on EARTH are you doing it? I'm so lost and confused here.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] lantigua:
personally.... I Greenify the life out of my phone....and i dont run any social media apps

---------- Post added at 03:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:33 PM ----------

dude, i think you need to use some Sulfuric and Hydrocloric acids, some vinegar, clorox and everthing else you can to clean out your phone.......beause, YOU ARE MISSING OUT !!!! :D

JK by the way..just wanted to rub in how good im doing with this rom
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] RedJack117:
Do you guys think I could use 4.3 messaging? I miss the easy selector for group messaging
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Unythios:
Yea something is definitely weird.....now I completely wiped my phone. Factory Reset/Format System. This time I flashed the ROM and gapps at the same time without rebooting and now there's only one Home Screen and no Google Now to the left.......

EDIT:: Yup completely dead now. I tried both ways and Google Now no longer exists and now my wallpapers are all misaligned. Guess I should have just dealt with the poor batter life.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mulletcutter:
Just noticed the dialer is different. But with battery I'm at 44% in 8hrs. Almost 2hr screen time. 4500mAh.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Unythios:
Yea it isn't the same dialer. Battery life is iffy with mine. I will do a whole day tomorrow on Dalvik to see if it's any better.

Also I'm retarded and I didn't turn Google Now on in the settings therefore now swipe left for Google Now HAHAHAHAHA
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Quarmzz:
I've been thinking. Isn't the emoji not displaying a font issue?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sfasu77:
Yea it just has a nice look, none of the new search capabilities :eek:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jermaine151:
Very easily. Get another keyboard (AOSP from market, Swiftkey, Swipe, etc.), disable or freeze the Google keyboard and don't try to switch to ART runtime.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Quarmzz:
Jermaine please my phone is constantly awake. Is it normal?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] doat:
Is there any way I can change the menu button to bring up the actual menu instead of the google search settings menu? It's pretty annoying adjusting to that lol.

I don't have the Google Keyboard issue that some of you seem to have I have been going on for 7hrs now at 40% I have been chatting in google hangouts for awhile, so that kind of drained it quickly. My google keyboard is at 2% usage, so I guess I am lucky I don't have that problem. What scheduler should I use for the best battery life?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ihateu3:
Just posting a few bugs that I have personally experienced.

Many times the wifi will stay connected, but will not allow data in or out until turning wifi off and then back on.

Playing a video through the native browser will allow the screen to time out and turn off while the video is playing (could prolly easily be resolved with a 3rd party player, but its still a bug).

Clean flash, wiped everything.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MrFunEGUY:
Actually, I had like 16 hours while I was running ART. My battery life was fine.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sfasu77:
i can get the GoogleDialer.apk from the Nexus 5 dump to install and run, the listings work fine, but it crashes when i try to make a call. Oh well, hopefully someone can figure it out.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jermaine151:
Y'all ready? :laugh:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jermaine151:
New build is up! RLS1. Come and get it!

Changelog in post #2 and OP updated.

:D

Guys, you're probably going to have to flash another zip after Gapps, to get the camera back. I just noticed this because I was rushing to get this great build out. :( I'll add the zip to the OP and edit the instructions. My bad.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Jay Rock:
Just when I was about to start downloading. Shot clock cheese.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] anil2653:
Even I am also not getting any Google services cresh

I flashed mini PA gapps
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mulletcutter:
To get a camera or the 10.2 camera?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ihateu3:
I think he means to have a camera in general. I just flashed this rom, and there is no camera at all lol. He will have it fixed in no time.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mulletcutter:
I added the gallery from last build to this one. Focal took a picture, but FC when it wants. Waiting for a fix. ?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jermaine151:
Uploading my Gapps now. They're PA 11/14 Gapps with the installer script modified to NOT delete the camera.

YOU MUST FLASH MINE or I'm going to punch you in the neck when you post that you don't have a camera!!!!

:laugh: T-minus 10 minutes and counting...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] RMarkwald:
Whoa, the ol' neck punch... Look out!

- Sent from my Galaxy S3
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jermaine151:
LMAO!!! A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do!

Posting the link for MY modified PA GAPPS 11/14 FULL that won't delete your camera! Come and get it!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tpma4life:
Rom works wonderfully! Thank you! However, I have a brief observation/question: When mounted on my PC, it seems the file structure has changed or something. For instance, on the base of the SD card where I put the CM file to install (it worked, since I flashed it and can STILL see it in CWM), I cannot see this when it's mounted on my PC--period. I don't see all the files I can access from CWM...

I don't know how else to describe it, sorry if this doesn't make much sense.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tinyaznboi:
dude this is sick! Thanks for the update I'm really excited to flash
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jermaine151:
You're welcome! Give me some feedback so I can cook me some dinner! It's late here and I am food deprived, for you guys!!! :silly:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mulletcutter:
Still downloading gapps, watching football and drinking. Best time to flash. I'll lyk
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] RedJack117:
I download both rom and gaaps and dirty flashed and my camera app went missing but I can still use snap chat and Instagram... What should I do?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] extraGuac:
Same issue here.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mulletcutter:
Also here, no camera. And no neck punching
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Jiggs82:
Same here no camera :p
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jermaine151:
LMAO!! Let me make sure that the Gapps match what I meant to upload.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mulletcutter:
Just flashed back to 11/10 build, left the gapps u just posted and didn't flash another. And camera is there and works.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jermaine151:
Thanks! I don't think a dirty flash will work this time. Sorry.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] hatdrc:
I have the same problem on beta 4. Downloaded something into sdcard/download went into that folder on my computer, connect with USB, and I could see some of the things but not all. Looked at it through airdroid and they were all there.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Unythios:
Can anyone else confirm my issue? When downloading an app that has a widget.... The widget doesn't show up under widgets until I do a reboot. This is on Beta 4. Tomorrow I will flash the new one.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] gemstocks:
Great work man. this ROM is so fast, keep up with the good work!!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Jay Rock:
After rebooting and flashing gapps my phone did about 3 reboots before even turning the screen on and now the boot animation is frozen. I'll see what happens.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] anil2653:
already given in Op to go for clean installation for this RLS
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] RedJack117:
Wasn't there before sir but Thank you
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Unythios:
Here's my battery results. Horrible IMO. Not sure what to do differently.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MrFunEGUY:
Honestly, I almost never have 3G on, so I don't know if that may be the issue. The most I leave 3G on for is like 5 minute at a time, and only like 2-3 times a day. If possible, try to not keep 3G on at all times and then see your result.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] beto0216:
Clean Flashing! hell yeah! woohoo!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Unythios:
So you're on Wi-Fi all day long? Mine always stays 3G until I need to use data then it bumps to H+.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] anil2653:
For batter battery results it is advisable to keep wi-fi always On and in google map settings disable location reporting as it is most battery consuming

try and see the results...:good:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Jay Rock:
Running smoother and more stable than I thought it would be, but I'll put it through a full day of my regular smartphone usage tomorrow to better get a feel for how it runs.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] CodyRst:
The new build working great here. Seems very smooth, and my camera is even working.

Thanks for the hard work!:good::good:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] beto0216:
Glitch! when you screenshot the little anime shows a messed up screen then if you look at the gallery (btw why do i have 2 gallerie icons) its there and looks fine.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] hatdrc:
I'm have 2 gallery's has well. I use sliding messenger and when I get a text it shows both sliding and the standard messaging app in the notification. The standard one doesn't go away unless I go into settings and change the default SMS app back
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] beto0216:
did you go into your standard messaging app and uncheck notifications?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

yeah you were right, i downloaded the app and i get the same thing as you. let me play with the apps and see what i can fix, as in regards to the galleries, i have 2 and the first one just shows my pics when in the 2nd gallery i get my pics and google plus pics! im so confused!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Infamous_Cheez:
I can confirm the glitch while taking the screenshot, and like you pointed out, the screenshot turns out fine. As for the two galleries, it may have something to do with using the CM 10.2 camera. I just froze the second gallery with TiBu and have experienced no issues so far.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] beto0216:
also idk if its supposed to do this but when i take a picture with the front facing camera the saved picture is mirrored for example i took a picture pointing to the left, when it saves it shows the picture however im pointing to the right! hahahaha no biggie on that one because idk if it used to do that before or idk will report more stuff as i find them. GREAT JOB THOUGH!!! =D
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] hatdrc:
I just did that, I'll see how it goes
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] beto0216:
Go into your app drawer, and press menu, you get the WALLPAPERS, WIDGETS, AND SETTINGS pop up however its behind the apps i believe, i dont think thats supposed to do that.

---------- Post added at 07:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:09 AM ----------

ok the gallery is under 2 different names

1. com.android.gallery3d

2. com.google.android.gallery3d

thats why we have 2 galleries,
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MrFunEGUY:
No, I'm only on Wi-Fi when at home. From 6am-3pm, I usually don't have Wi-Fi or 3G on. Call me crazy, but I'm one of those people who don't feel it necessary to have my phone connected to the internet all day. It doesn't do much most of the time, for me that is.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] JohnnyGT:
yeah i get them too strange ....
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] lowlife546:
bettery battery stats has been updated to work with kitkat. maybe see if you find something there.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1179809

battery life still really good for me.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] beto0216:
ok so it took a while to figure out why my sync was off, If you go to your Google+ app..... Settings-Auto Backup-Hit the On Button (should be on) so it highlights OFF then if you go to the settings on your phone, Accounts, you will see it has the sync off.

This is a possible fix

go back to your google+ apps, settings, turn on auto backup, go back to phone settings and see if its syncing now, then to fix go back to google plus and click on the auto back up one more time to turn it off, works.... sorry if i just confused yall! hahaha
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mulletcutter:
Clean wipe, I have no camera at all. If I reboot, I'll have to reboot again to get service.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jermaine151:
I have the no service after a reboot bug, with every build but it seems less frequent with this one.

I'm uploading a new gapps that doesn't have the 2 galleries and will remove the 2nd if it's there.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] maelstromm:
Thanks for this. Look forward to the new gapps!!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jermaine151:
NEW GAPPS POSTED IN THE OP AND DATED 11/15. These Gapps will NOT install a 2nd gallery in your app drawer AND will remove the 2nd gallery if it exists. You can flash them over with no problems.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mulletcutter:
Flashed the newest build, with yesterday gapps. Lost menu and back button functions, long press menu unopened Google search tho. Home button worked. Flashed back to the 10thbuild and button's work. They worked when it booted up, then they stopped working.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mike.r.olson:
I'm receiving my new Zer0Lemon battery today. Can't wait to install that beast then flash this beast to go with it. Thanks for all your hard work Jermaine!

I'm using the newest cwm touch, could that be ? It also loops on first boot, then boots fine
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jermaine151:
I'm using the newest CWM touch as well and it works fine. All of my buttons are working.

Was trying to officially quote but my phone wouldn't allow me for some reason. To expand on this as well, after flashing your rom my gallery app doesn't seem to access all of my pictures, only those synced woth g+. An easy fix, I flashed back to touchwiz and just backed all of them up. However, when I was on touchwiz the gallery app once again showed ALL my pictures. So it just seems for some reason like the rom is maybe accessing files differently ?

Other than the whole file issue which is admittedly not TOO big a problem your rom runs buttery smooth. haven't had a chance yet to check battery life but it already looks better than the rom I had before.

After you iron out these issues, I'm definitely gonna run this ROM.

---------- Post added at 12:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:32 PM ----------

I see you uploaded the 11/9 build. Does this have all these problems fixed, and the Ext. SD card mountable?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Quarmzz:
Bookmarking this page. Will definitely try it next week. Hopefully, more bugs would've been squished. Thanks OP!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Jiggs82:
No that's the one from yesterday 11/08
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] :
Oh ok, the build says 11/09 but the uploaded date is 11/08.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Jiggs82:
Yes correct
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ShadowDXS:
This is wonderful dude.

I have been looking for a 4.4 ROM for days now. As soon as the SD card mounting bug is fix'd, i will be installing it for DD testing.

I have plans on making my own 4.4 rom. but getting this ported to the SGH-T999 is a pain the ass.

Thank you for your efforts. Your work is appreciated very much.

:cool:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] xObey:
so then tomorrows build should have those fixed right?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] :
I really hope so. Maybe if we're lucky, possibly later tonight?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] xObey:
Got it, was kind of confused because that was posted today and the build posted also has today's date.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] :
Yeah, I have no idea why he put 11/09 when he uploaded it on 11/08. Just confuses people.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jermaine151:
A treat for you guys coming in a little bit. :D Sorry, couldn't fix the external SD card, yet, but this is a nice build! Leave the ART disabled. I'll update OP and thread title when it's ready.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] :
Dang, I really need that Ext. SD to work. And why leave ART off?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Vigz:
I'm trying to download this rom but it seems as though the download link is invalid. Is there a new build on the way?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] xObey:
Yeah don't bother with the one posted, there's another one coming soon with phone calls and sound working as well as some other things fixed.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jermaine151:
I'll get Ext working soon. ART is not fully implemented yet, breaks root, causes other issues and this thing screams with Dalvik.

New Build is posted.

Enjoy! :good:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] :
Alright man, I'll be waiting for that build! Props! I'll give this build a run and see how it goes.

Thank you.. I dont remember last time i use tethering so its fine.. I just cant wait for my nexus 5 anymore lol
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] liesnomore:
In latest rom the tethering is broke. It was working fine in previous build.The good news is - Angry Birds are playing fine and fast - look like on steroids. In previous build I had less phone reboots and had camera. Will try to download the latest gaaps and see what happen.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jermaine151:
Yes, it seems like one of CM's commits may have broken tethering. I'll look into it.

As far as phone reboots and no camera go, you didn't follow the instructions. I know this because if you had wiped and flashed the gapps in the OP, you'd have a camera. If you didn't wipe, I'm not surprised that you would get phone reboots.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Chronei:
No camera app, even tho flashed

Hi,

Even though I flashed the custom gapps (2nd in order), no camera came with phone .. but there was a gallery (black border). What's going on? I tried to flash it by itself after already installed (even though it was flashed 2nd in order already), and still nada.

Thoughts about how to resolve this? Thanks for your hard work mate!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] arathur:
My battery is at 34% after ~5 hours.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jermaine151:
Per the instructions in the OP, wipe, format system, flash rom, reboot, flash gapps, reboot, camera!

This has been mentioned a ton of times. Install a different keyboard and disable the Google keyboard, if it's killing your battery.
