Question just curious could the necessary files be ported to this rom so the USB OTG Cable would be recognized by phone
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XdrummerXboy:
Doesn't this ROM only include the Google keyboard?

Once you go kitkat you can never go back

i tried going back to CM 4.3 for stability but i went back because it looked dull and boring

I use it all the time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Snypercell:
I wouldn't think so. At some point whatever is causing this will get flushed out, and everything will be fine again. I'd say wait for a couple releases, and try again just to see. I'd be willing to bet that the issue lays somewhere within this Gapps package, but i can't be certain. When you were getting this error, were you using a newer version of Gapps, than when you first used 11/24 successfully? Maybe try a couple different Gapps, IF you have the time and patience to play around with it that is, lol. I'm off all weekend, so I may mess with it. If I find out anything, I'll post here. GL :good:

This sounds like the same issue that I've been discussing. Definitely let us know if flashing this new Gapps package works. It might save me some time and hair! Also, when you try this are you doing a clean install, or are you just flashing the new Gapps zip? I'd suggest wiping and flashing everything from scratch, if you want to know if it truly is a fix or not.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] importiconep3:
I decided I wanted to change my rom to this ROM, downloaded the 11/27 release an gapps, wipe davlik cache and wiped data/factory reset, went to install zip from external sd card and clicked on the 11/27 zip file. It did not let me install the Rom and I realized I am not on the updated CWM I am still on V6.0.2.3. My phone will no longer boot up and stays on the cwm screen. How can I update my cwm and get my phone to work again?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tyler.frost92:
Anybody know of a way to display battery percentage on the status bar
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ballisticevo:
Fixed using that gapp package vs the op.

This did resolve my issues and was a 100% clean flash each time. It had tons of FCS using the gaps from the op.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Snypercell:
Great. Thanks for keeping us updated. I know a lot of people will be happy to hear this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ballisticevo:
Also as a side note xposed framework is working perfectly as indicated earlier in this thread.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TokedUp:
DUDE! Thank You so much!!!!! U should make a thread in the Apps and Themes section! I know a ton of ppl that would want this! Im gonna share it in the PA thread after i test it if u dont mind.....

EDIT** Search isnt working in the dialer. Its the right one but search isnt enabled or something.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] WeThePeople13:
I have been running since last night and I have not had any issues yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Snypercell:
Uh oh... I hate to hear that man. You're not dead in the water, though.

First, Do you have a backup? If so, then just restore. Once that is done, you can download ROM Manager from the Play Store, and update CWM with that. If you don't know how, google it, or say so and I'll post a little walk-thru.

If no backup, then tisk tisk *wags finger* Do you still have a previous ROM stored on your sd card? If so, just flash it, and update CWM with ROM Manager, as above.

If neither, and the only ROM that you have on your device is KitKat, then you'll have to update CWM manually. I am searching for an updated guide at the moment, so I don't miss anything, and have you brick your phone, but you're welcome to search, too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] metalcated:
Or you could sideload the ROM from a laptop or PC using Linux, Mac or windblows. Make sure you have an up to date version of the SDK tools, at least 6.x.x.x of CWM and you should be good to go.

You could also go into download mode and manual push the CWM update needed for KitKat.

Hello everyone! Please let me know if this ROM is for me ....

I am currently running an OLDDDDD version of CleanRom, but would like a change. I know back in my dInc days i was in love with the CM Nightlies, so that led me to here.

What is important for me is the Camera, and the GPS. As i have kids so take many many photos, and i rely on my gps quite often. Bluetooth and NFC are useless to me.

Is this ROM in its current condition, a good choice for me to try out?

Thanks everyone ..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jlokos:
Install exposed and gravity box and you will be all set.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Durhammer:
I'm on the other Cm11 build now but they're quite similar. I love it and similarly use the camera all the time, but it is not without its problems. I don't get sudden reboots as I had in older builds but sometimes the camera goes black after a photo and no other camera app can connect to the camera... a reboot fixes that, though. Otherwise, it's a phenomenal rom. All I'm missing so far is lock screen widgets.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jlokos:
Install exposed and gravity box and you'll have lockscreen widgets.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rsarno:
Thank you! Is the camera issue extreme? Meaning, does it happen once in a while, or is it more often than not, and ill need to have another camera with me at all times?

I dont mind an occasional reboot, but if its happening every time i go to use the camera I will find myself hunting for a new ROM pretty quick :(

---------- Post added at 09:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:26 PM ----------

Im so confused. I see within Rom Manager, there is a CM Nightlies section. Is that this ROM? I dont think it is ... is there a reason to try this, versus that?

Im sorry i slipped back into noob mode .. just trying to figure this all out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ballisticevo:
Had some network issues. Network would not work and claimed no sim till I went to network settings. On a previous flash I selected 4g which then broke my SMS support. Just opening and exiting resolved the issue leaving network on global on a clean flash following the issues.

Forget rom manager. I would make sure your recovery and radios are up to date then download the rom/gapps in the of and you should be good to go.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ajrty33:
They're similar because they're the same! They're all CM11. There's nothing custom. It's called a "kang" because it's someone else's work.... It's all CyanogenMod...

Hello all. I have downloaded loaded latest + gapps. Wiped about 5 times then installed rom and gapps zip.

I get an immediate fc for phone, it won't go away, keeps popping up. I had to restore my backup to come online for this post. I also made sure I updated to latest clockwork.

Advice?

Bsplayer works awesome...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Eyalkn:
It works for me. Make sure you are using the google phone app and not the naive phone app that you were using before. Go to the app drawer and you will notice that you have 2 phone apps, choose the google phone one.

I hate being the one to do this, but I must have missed and can't find the original post regarding this. What exactly is the process to get it working using this file?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bitemeoftn:
It doesn't. At least for me it didn't. It put the tap and pay option back, but when I actually tried using it it was totally unresponsive. Made sure I had NFC enabled just in case. It was it just doesn't work for me. I've only seen one person say they've actually gotten it to work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rsarno:
Is it normal to have no WiFi on this ROM?

I just flashed but I'm walking around sears so cannot fully browse the thread.

Thank you. Seems great so far. Just keep a saying dialed to connect to network even tho I know the user and pass.

Also where is USB debugging? I had all apps backed up using TB but now TB can't find my apps. It said some message about turning on USB debugging so I went looking for it but can't find it. Hoping that does the trick and then TB will find my apps to restore :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] newbie4ever:
For developer options go to settings / about phone then tap the build number about 7 times (this will unlock the developer options) but I wouldn't use tibu to restore app and data as it will probably cause issues
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rsarno:
Will another app restore my tibu app backups?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bitemeoftn:
I've been using Nandroid manager to successfully restore texts, calls, and apps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] newbie4ever:
I don't use tibu for backups I use app backup and restore... I think you are fine to restore the apps, just not the data...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rsarno:
But its the data I need lol. Game saves, etc.

Maybe I'll need to restore to old ROM, backup apps using something else and then restore to this app?

Which app backup would you suggest? Tibu has always been my goto app. Even paid for pro.

Also any idea about WiFi issues? Does WiFi not work on this one?

Install Error

I just tried installing this ROM and I'm getting an error. I have never had issues installing a ROM before. My phone is rooted, the boot loader is unlocked, the newest version of CWM touch recovery is installed and I'm wiping everything before I try flashing the new ROM. Any ideas for what might be causing the issue? I will list the error below. Thank you in advance for any help offered.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] newbie4ever:
Give it a try, I could be wrong.. ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rsarno:
Will try But can't get Tibu to see my app backups. Any ideas there?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] newbie4ever:
No... I don't use it for backups, you probably need to use a file manager to move the backup to a place tibu can find it.. Good luck

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rsarno:
Don't think I'm going to make it on this ROM, darn it and I was liking it so far!

- WiFi wouldn't connect at all, says failed to connect

- turned off my WiFi and back on, now it's not showing any available networks and says wps error or something.

TiBu not being able to find my backups, and then expected issues even when it does find it, that's a major issue for me to not have all my current states of each app.

Are any of those known issues, with some form of workaround ?

Otherwise I'm afraid I'm too noobish to handle this. I'm terrible with getting stuff to work :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xraytedjim:
Anyone actually get the front facing camera NOT to reboot the phone on 4.4? I haven't been able to find a version.

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] newbie4ever:

I know people on Spencers builds are having good luck with the camera, but I'm not sure about this one... I can't get the ffc to work
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rsarno:
I'm sure the WiFi is fixable, can't imagine many people using it if the WiFi was so buggy
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kude87:
My fix was going into the themes and mods forum, grabbing the modded 4.3 cam and gallery that TokedUp posted, and pushed it to /system/app like the OP there says. Camera is running awesome. Ffc works, save to SD too. 5 minute fix.

Sspencer's build used a 4.3 cam if I am not mistaken. I used it for a while, but switched to Masta's 11/27 build. Still had a wonky cam until I fixed it. Notice that a lot of 4.4 roms don't actually delete pics or vids through the gallery. You have to with a file explorer.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] CCivale:
Since MX wasn't working for me, I tried BSPlayer, but it isn't working for me. Currently on the 11-24 build.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rsarno:
Ok im home. Got TiBu to locate my backups and install them, but it doesnt look like ANY date or settings carried over. Whats the deal here, is this because its and the data wasnt compatible or something? or is it a TiBu issue, and i should go backup using something else, and then restore again

thanks

PS, i did another wipe and install, wifi works now. Weird!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jlokos:
sspencer's old build used a 4.3 camera. The newer builds use A 4.4 camera and the FFC and rar camera work fine. I don't use cam so I don't know about that.asta's build also uses the fixed 4.4 camera and it works too.

---------- Post added at 08:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:04 PM ----------

Tibu works fine for me. It retains settings when I restore.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kude87:
I'm on Masta's and I have had reboots with Ffc. I took a pic and it got really laggy, went black, and rebooted. Did that consistently if I kept doing it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rsarno:
So is Nandroid Backup, the way to go with App+Data backup/restore?

or is there another one which is popular choice around these parts? Because apparently Titanium has lost its luster. Makes me feel old... "back in my day..." TiBu was the shiznit lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] newbie4ever:
Installed tokedups 4.3 camera it works for the rear facing camera but not the front.. I have to use a different camera for front facing camera which is fine with me

---------- Post added at 06:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:53 AM ----------

Also I have no issues deleting pictures
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kude87:
Hmm weird. Guess I'm not sure since I'm not on this particular rom. Thought it would be the same since our source is from cm. So your pics stay deleted even after you reboot? Mine delete fine, but are there after I reboot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TokedUp:
Working fine for me. I don't have any other Cameras installed. Maybe the others are interfering with the FFC. Which camera app do u use for FFC?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XdrummerXboy:
I'm at 30% battery right now after a clean install, and I only have 30 minutes of on screen time. Is this because the microphone is always on in the background?

Also, I keep getting an error that com.Google.Gapps (or something involving GApps) keeps force closing, generally twice, a few seconds apart, then again in pairs a while apart. I flashed the GApps full, then the GApps provided by the OP.

Any ideas what may cause this?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Wh1t3Rose:
I don't understand how people are having issues with TIBU. I have no issues. And to the people that are saying not to restore app data, go educate yourselves. Its system data you can't restore. User app data is fine. Even some system data like calls and texts are OK to restore with TIBU
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] newbie4ever:
Thanks for the education, I was under the impression that restoring app data from 4.3 to 4.4 caused lots of errors and f/c I don't use tibu for backups because I don't have anything that I really need to keep
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dpaine88:
I restored all my apps with data using TiBu and everything is working 100%.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dawest:
I'm not sure what's going on, but everything ran extremely smoothly for several days (I'm on 11/23), I traveled to two states with it. Perfect GPS, battery started out ok, but not great. However, in the past two days I'm getting random reboots every other hour or so, and my battery life is absolutely terrible. I've been having the occasional random reboot ever since installing the ROM, but nothing I'm not used to with crackflashing as much as I generally do. Is anybody else having this issue? I'm currently backing everything up to my extSD and Dropbox and I'm gonna do my "super clean install" and try and start over to see if that helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ericsdeadinside:
Try disabling clock.(chronos) That seemed to stop a lot of my rebooting issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TokedUp:
Try this. Same as Chronus just an older version. Im using it now on PA.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kude87:
Netflix works if you grab an older version. Sspencer has one in his op.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShhImSleeping:
Sooo I installed the rom, fully charged my phone, and once I took it off the charger, my battery went from 100% to 55% in about 20 minutes. Ironically, I found nothing in Gsam, battery stats, or cpu info that looked out of the ordinary, it was just devouring my battery for no reason.

I'm new to the 4.4 roms, and have been avoiding flashing anything for awhile to get out of my crack flasher habits lol, is there a trick to resolve this?

I confirmed the md5 on my download, so I know it's not a bad download.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dawest:
It looks like your phone was always "awake" based on that first picture, click through all of the apps in the Settings>Battery and look at the "Keep Awake" times. Even if it has a low percentage, a rogue app may have kept the CPU awake constantly doing something, and destroyed your battery life. I've had a few apps do basically the same thing, but only registered as 1 or 2% battery consumption. Force Close and Clear Data/Cache on any apps that are keeping the phone awake, or uninstall, and you should be ok. That's what's worked for me in those extreme cases.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShhImSleeping:
Phone is showing 1m22s, which is odd because I haven't used the phone, but other than that the highest thing is android system at 29s. I've never had an issue with my apps before, wonder why it would be starting now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dawest:
Also, a note of warning, if you use Cerberus I would suggest against sending the "Take Picture" command. I have it installed as a system app, the disguised version, just to cover bases. I just sent it and got stuck in a 5 minute boot loop. Eventually, after about 8 rounds of the bootloop the phone booted as normal, everything seems ok.

EDIT: I'm a bit slow, multitasking and writing a research paper while playing with it. I just remembered that command uses the FFC by default, which is still broken and causing reboots, therefore that makes sense. Looks like all other Cerberus commands work, just having a bit of a slow moment it seems.

In other news, I deleted every last thing, /system /data /cache /storage, and installed 11/27 after having issues on 11/23 out of the blue, and everythings seems to be running perfectly so far. I'll update after a while, but I think my battery life might be vastly improved.

Hello everyone. I have successfully loaded this ROM. After some tinkering the only thing I can find not working is the FFC. No issue, I rarely use it.

OK guys. I was hoping to have a new build up today with all of the latest changes, but I'm not sure if that's going to be able to happen now. This morning, I tried to turn my computer on, and it would not boot into OSX. After a bit of tinkering, I am pretty sure that my SSD is dead, and that I will need a new one. Unfortunately, I have a lot of stuff to do today, so I probably will not have time to get one and get everything all setup again. I'll try a little more to see if the drive can be fixed, but as of now, there probably will not be a build today :( sorry guys
