KT 4.4 is definitely the HOT one with this action!!! Clean flash on the new build w newest KT & it's friggin' tight!!

Lovin' it yo....mooch-ass grassy-ass!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dvaderx:
12-6 build is working great. thanks!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Omega Ra:
Okay, I dirty flashed the 12/5 onto one from Nov. Just wiped the cache and dalvik. But I will do a full wipe for this one. Just have to run Helium again first. Is there something that can quickly re-install all my apps that I currently have installed? Or my hope page setup?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] n3tt3chman:
anyone know why im getting a status 7 while trying to flash the latest?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] beepea206:
Update to the newest version of TWRP (2.3.6.1) and you won't have that issue any more. The older versions of TWRP had a binary conflict with 4.4 roms that wasn't an issue in older roms.

---------- Post added at 10:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:20 AM ----------

Depends on who you ask. Personally, I dirty flash new builds of the same version of a rom first and if there's issues, I'll wipe data.

Generally if you're flashing a newer version of the same rom, dalvik and cache wipes are all that's needed... but if you haven't wiped data/cache/dalvik, don't come back and state you have problems, because devs will ignore any 'issues' that pop up off dirty flashes. :)

BTW, Helium seems to work better for me with restoring apps and data than Rom Toolbox does, but either one will restore apps after a full wipe.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HandsomeOne:
12-6 Rom running very smooth, still get some data handoff issues mostly in 1x area,which is big where i'am :) Thanks Great work !!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rsarno:
Crap, what did i do??

Downloaded latest and installed it. Then installed Nandroid Manager and as always, the stock SU doesnt work. So i had to boot into recovery.

powered off phone

volDown+home+power

now im seeing a screen with something about a custom OS, and it says "Downloading ... do not turn off target!!

what is this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] markdapimp:
Volume up for recovery volume down for Odin download mode
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Azuma73:
Yeah, you're in Download mode bud(by holding volume down instead of volume up).

Just do power+Vol up+home & you'll be a'ight!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Dr3w1127:
Do anyone have issues with BT connectivity? It would connect and disconnect with my car at least 5 times before it will actually stay on bluetooth. I am running 12/6 rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rsarno:
Trying to install the latest. Had a minor hiccup by using VOL-DOWN instead of VOL-UP, but now ive booted, wiped, installed, etc.

Just updated my SuperSU so i can use Nandroid Manager.

But now i open Nandroid Manager and it says "This device needs to be rooted"

Did i lose root somehow? Im so confused, ive done this a million times and im no good at figuring out these things lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] beepea206:
Nope. I use BT on my phone to home stereo and it never disconnects. Funny you should say that, though... in rental cars, I have the hardest time getting my phone to sync and stay synced to BT.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nickjensz:
Flashed the latest build, and like everyone else, it seems to be running great as usual.

Question for everyone though... I've been switching to ART on all of the builds lately and don't seem to have problems, but I'm curious what everyone else is doing? Runnign ART or leaving it on Dalvik? Any reasons for either?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cr4ck3r4lif3:
Running dalvik so I can install and run xposed with all the great modules. No dice with art.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] p2kmafia:
I've got xposed working perfectly with ART fyi
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cr4ck3r4lif3:
No you don't. Check again. You're using dalvik.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] p2kmafia:
I didn't realize turning on xposed switched you back to dalvik. That's unfortunate. Good call
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cr4ck3r4lif3:
The xposed devs did that to prevent a bootloop :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lyricalsoul5:
Does the latest release fix the WiFi/data issue? I lose data when I turn my WiFi on. Ive tried to switch data on and off with no luck.

This might be a special problem seeing that I'm on a flashed phone. Any fixes? Suggestions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] markdapimp:
no problems here

---------- Post added at 01:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:41 AM ----------

Wipe and clean flash again

setup your phone as normal and download SuperSU from Google Play store

When prompted select CWM/TWRP Mode or whatever option is next of Normal

then when in recovery if prompted to 'Fix Root' or Recovery Claiming you lost root Deny it and boot as normal
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HandsomeOne:
I'am also am having wifi data handoff issues as are many others see my post #1299.This is not unique to this rom all 4.4's i have tried i have had issues with . I have 3 sch-i535 and all do the same thing.Others have no problem, i stiil think that qcril merge still needs work.Kitkat s3 work in progress !!! YMMV

For those who don't have problems i get it. no response necessary Thank you all !!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rsarno:
Do you guys have an easy or automated way of setting things up?

I want to keep up with nightlys but just stinks to have to set everything up again. I load my apps+data from backups, but then all the settings, homescreens, etc
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] beepea206:
Lol yea, we dirty flash an updated nightly. You really only need to wipe data if you encounter issues or come from a other rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] markdapimp:
Everything is good I'm not experiencing the handoff issues everyone is talking about I even sick my T-Mobile Sim inside and got edge service
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HandsomeOne:
Thats dandy
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rsarno:
Aw crap, really?? Ive been wiping 5 times and clearing caches prior to every install ... yes im being serious lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] markdapimp:
Oh yeah im blazing with these Edge speeds
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] johnnytraveler:
I vote this for funniest post of the week. Thanks man for giving me a good laugh at the end of the week. It's all good. Since 12/6 had 'major' changes, I opted for a full wipe myself. So you are not alone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] beepea206:
Meh, I dirty flashed and it was just fine. There have to be substantive framework changes, like a version change to give you issues from a dirty flash. Wiping data doesn't wipe framework... It deletes apps and data from those apps. If the rom hasn't changed apps that store/use data, you're just making it harder on yourself. Anyway, wipe, no wipe, doing it more than once is overkill
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] moparfreak426:
Just toggle and reboot
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lyricalsoul5:
Getting my data back isn't the problem. I just want to be able to toggle back and forth without having to reboot. I want my MMS messages while I'm on my Wi-Fi.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] markdapimp:
I'm getting MMS perfectly while on Wifi, by any chance is your S3 recently new?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lyricalsoul5:
Its about a year old
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] markdapimp:
Did you clean flash ie

Factory Wipe

Clear cache and wipe dalvik cache?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] moparfreak426:
I haven't been able to semd mms and sometimes not able to send sms, but haven't been getting best service anywhere. Loving kitkat though
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jhanford:
Here's the latest CM build (let's call it KatKang Sub while dmeadows has a couple of days out)

This one has no cherry picks (a clean nightly):

http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23252070760973718

This one has the following cherry picks:

http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23252070760973719

Not wanting to take over from dmeadows. Just providing a minor service

EDIT: Oh, and btw, Android version is showing 4.4.1!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] markdapimp:
whats better the cherrypicked or the nightly
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jhanford:
The nightly contains code that's been peer-reviewed and merged into the main CM code base.

For the cherry picked version, in addition to the title description, take a look at http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/XXXXX/ where XXXXX is the cherry pick ID. The picks have passed some initial review but have not been merged into the main code base.

If you feel you want those, go with the cherry pick version.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cammykool:
The cherrypicks bring extra features or drivers.

---------- Post added at 11:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:12 PM ----------

Can anyone figure out why Netflix causes a random reboot
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jhanford:
While that is technically true, cherry picks are non-merged changes that have not made it through the review process. A change is either "open" meaning it's being actively developed or in review, "merged" meaning, it's been reviewed and merged into the main code base, or "abandoned" which can mean it was either rejected or, sometimes merged into another open change.

The goal of all changes is to become part of the main code base. Extra features would have to pass review or they will eventually become abandoned and may cause code issues down the line of cherry picked.

All the cherry picks that dmeadows (and myself) are using are likely to be merged in the near future as they are broad enough in scope to warrant being part of the main code base.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lyricalsoul5:
Yes.

I'm able to get them when Wifi is off :( But try Textra and use the manual mms settings
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cuban11182:
My install of the newest nightly didn't have a camera app, and when I tried to install a camera app from the market it couldn't access it. I'm going to try and dirty install.

That didn't work, I'm going to try a fresh install of the without cherry picks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mightybryan:
Do you dirty flash the cherrypicked version from cm over kit kang?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PsiPhiDan:
I don't understand why, but I clean flashed the latest 12/6 and I have lag on the home screen all too often when transitioning between screens. The stock kernel was really bad, then with KT it is better but still there. What gives? The older KK ROM I came from had almost zero lag, and this is much newer so I would anticipate it being much smoother (which everyone is saying it is). What could I have messed up here?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mightybryan:
Try using a different launcher. The GEL launcher was never as smooth as Nova for me. Also, which gapps did you flash? That could be an issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PsiPhiDan:
I'm using the stock launcher, I'll try Nova now and see how it behaves. I flashed the PA 4.4 Full Gapps
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cuban11182:
If you don't use the GEL don't you lose the ability to speak ok Google?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mightybryan:
Yes, but personally, saying ok Google is more of a nuisance than to just press the microphone button on the home screen or just assigning it to a hardware key. And it used slightly more power.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jhanford:
Yeah, the non-cherry pick version works. I added a few extra cherry picks over dmeadows' that might be causing an issue.

Doing a new build now with a last-known good configuration that worked for me early yesterday. If that works, I'll upload that and then work on re-adding the new ones to see what breaks.

UPDATE: Even with a set of cherry picks that worked for me early yesterday, I'm still getting the issue. I wonder if the merge of 4.4.1 code by the CM team has somehow borked one of the previously working cherry picks.

I'll back out camera-related picks and try again. (Not very good for a first outing, eh? :))
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Azuma73:
it'll be a'ight holmes!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LeoRex:
Well... the whole point of the 4.4.1 update was sine nexus camera fixes I believe.... so not all that surprised.

I tried the cherry pick too... no camera.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PwnCakes193:
Drop all your camera picks and all will be right
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jhanford:
Good news and bad news:

The good news (at least from my point of view) is that the cherry picks did not cause the problem.

The bad news is that the camera still fails if there are no cherry picks. There must have been some fundamental camera changes in the 4.4.1 code that was merged yesterday that is causing the camera to fail.

For now, I'd stick with dmeadows' 12/06 build until this is worked out.

On the off chance it's me, I'm going to kill my local repo and start again from scratch.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LeoRex:
All I've read about it is that it was meant to address problems with the nexus 5 camera. They may have not gone back in yet to clean up the camera code for all other devices yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] moparfreak426:

Anyway to download videos on aosp? I've tried but can't get it to with a couple of apps. Tw is simple to download and used to running it instead of aosp. Really like 4.4. Thx in advance
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nickjensz:
ES File Explorer works pretty good for downloading videos. I don't use it much, but every now and then

Only issue I have noticed on the 12/6 build is I can't get the weather to show up on the lockscreen. I have it set in the Lock Screen settings but it never shows up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cr4ck3r4lif3:
Create a new lockscreen widget
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] moparfreak426:
Ok i see cm11 official up and want to flash but I don't want to just stop supporting the developers who have already brought us unofficial cm11.

What is superior about official cm11 over ones we have by hedwig34, dmeadows013, mastamoon, etc.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dvaderx:
I installed it today but went back to my nandroid of 12/6 of this build.

it felt snappier than the official 12/7 (could be placebo but it certainly felt faster when i came back to this 12/6)

The difference is going to be that the official will only have what is merged. where this build will have cherry picks added in that may or may not be better.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jhanford:
Did the camera work?

EDIT: The current official is from last night which is around the same time my good non-cherry version was build. Today's build did not go well, with the camera failing regardless of cherry picks being added.

It'll be interesting to see how tonight's official build goes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dvaderx:
Yes it worked for me. I didn't use the video, but i did take a few pics front and back.

---------- Post added at 09:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:34 PM ----------

@dmeadows013 will the next build be 4.4.1 ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jhanford:
The next build will have to be 4.4.1 as that's what CM have rebased to. They are not branching between 4.4 and 4.4.1 as it appears to be such a minor release.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] moparfreak426:

Can someone help with the camera? Im on 12/6 build

i love it and all is perfect, except the camera glitched out. Nearly tossed my phone against the wall today when my 1yr old was sitting with Santa and i went to snap a pic, but opened my camera and it was a black screen. Had to reboot .... missed the photo and had to pay $30 for the pics they sell :(

So, what do i do to eliminate camera issues completely, but without leaving this rom?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bitemeoftn:
You could try pulling the 4.3 camera and installing it over the system one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Wh1t3Rose:
I'm on the same build and camera works fine I just took 10 pictures back to back. Did u clean flash that build?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rsarno:
I did clean flash, wiped many times, all caches, etc.

Camera did work several times with no issue, except of course the money shot ... i missed because of a glitch. Not upset with ROM, i understand its a work in process. I just want to know if there is a way i can resolve just that issue, since everything else seems fine.

Except i dont get notification of voicemail ... hasnt been a major deal so far.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] johnnytraveler:
I can confirm. I just took multiple pictures with the back & front camera. A video to include pictures while recording the video and a panorama shot. Everything was perfect (except my dogs, so were my subject) Btw, I'm using stock 4.4 camera, 12/6 build, 11/26 gapps (full) and kt747 kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jhanford:
On the latest official nightly, the camera works. I'm going to build from source and should get the same result. If so, I'll try adding some cherry picks in and see if it's still working
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BrUhNiGGs:
Like the other guy said earlier. Pull the gallery.apk from any 4.3.1 ROM (ie. Carbon) and go into system/app, delete camera2.apk and paste the gallery.apk in there and change permission, then reboot. The 4.3 camera has been working completely fine for me since I too hate when the 4.4 camera hangs on a black screen occasionally
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jhanford:
Or choose a different camera app. I'm currently using Camera Awesome as it has some nice features and allows saving to sdcard, turning off shutter sounds and using the 6MP wide photo size. It costs and I'm sure there are others around that are free, but it seems more stable that the 4.4 camera.

My main reason for NOT using the AOSP camera is the lack of the 6MP photo size.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BrUhNiGGs:
Do you think you can send a link to that flashable zip

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zhp pilot:
I was about to ask this. I can connect but it only downloads around 10 emails with the most recent being April 7. :eek: I'm going to try the email from 4.3 and hope that works. I'm craving some kitkat but since I use my s3 as my work phone no email means no go.

I could live with that but unfortunately I don't get that far.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] duarian:
This seemed to work, I disabled the 'beep' as well within poweramp.

For now, poweramp is sort of messed up, it can't find my music folder in my internal storage, but finds it just just fine in sdcard1 (which I assume is my external SD). It wont find it in /0 of /legacy. Very odd.

Edit: Seems like the new directories point to /sdcard/legacy and /sdcard/0 . Poweramp looks at those instead of /sdcard (in touchwiz and 4.3).

Also, sound still pops when skipping tracks, that line of code definitely helped though. My notification tones seem to be silent though..gonna have to see whats going on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Prack:
Dirty flashed this over 11/14 official 4.3 nightly and everything works great, including storage, front facing camera, bluetooth, wifi and good signal etc. I got a few email force closes at first but they went away after a few minutes. Very happy with the build so far :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] podspi:
See this

I have enabled ART, it is ridiculously smooth. Granted, previous to this I was on Touchwiz, so maybe 4.2/4.3 would have been even better (but I can't imagine how). Have you tried running Lagfix? I find that that helps (I run it about once a week or so).

As others have said, yes -- but it doesn't mark messages unread. That might be a feature. I know I will get an email, glance at it on my phone, and then forget about it. Have a much longer attention span in Outlook :laugh:

so far everything seems pretty smooth. Front facing camera gives me a force close but I only use it for snap chat which works perfectly. Wifi connects but its pretty slow. Everything else is good though since I've let it settle in a bit and gotta love the new Kitkat animation! :good:

Oh yeah and music sounds great too!
