Ok thanks. I did end up installing xposed after I gave up a couple versions ago. Those were the steps I was taking that I tried with full clean flashes. Latley I just wipe cache and dalvik and flash over. Only thing was xposed is disabled on the first boot and that is when I tried. I knew they weren't compatible. I will fully try again. Thanks. Just checking to see if it was a known issue on the vz s3. Thanks again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] savagebunny:
No problem. I kept trying different versions of the ROM, wiping etc. Then found out I still had xposed on and bam, went to ART
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] invisiblek:
Official cm builds support f2fs on /data and /cache, so yes, mine do as well.

I spose I can...reboots you could grab a /proc/last_kmsg on the subsequent boot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Samsung.Galaxy.S3:
Only items I have left are the random reboots and the ability to add new WiFi connections (instead of getting the "fail to save" message). Other than that, I really like Lollipop.

Thanks for all the good stuff!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] matrixzone:
What about camera?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JumperPunk:
I don't have any issues with the Wi-Fi. What are you seeing?

[MENTION=2385005]invisiblek[/MENTION] - what is the best way to get crash reports to you? If the crash reports contain sensitive data or semi-sensitive data that shouldn't be shipped around in clear text, let me know. I have some keybase.io invites that you can use.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Deliquified:
Might be something kernel related.. I had all kinds of random reboots on the newest build and have only had one or two since flashing dkp kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Use SysLog from the market. It has a "personal info scrubber" built in.. basically this will hide your number, email address, imei..etc. Never seen an actual password or anything in a log. Not sure where he would want you to email the logs though.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] slick_shoes:
Any reason why mastamoons nightly are 50mb+ smaller than invisiblek? Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droidriven:
Maybe because he has added stuff or fixed some stuff, its an ever growing process.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Rushead:
You guys can read, right? Just checking....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] timedroid:
What's the source for these? Just built off the official CM repo or are there other commits?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Stealth111:
FYI, the newer build resolved the funky data issue I was having. Also want to say I have never had issues with reboots on CM12 at all. I also do not run gapps either.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jackyalice:
how about camera? does it work without gapps?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hondais1:
Super unstable

Consistently force reboots. Over 20x a day. Android processes....not responding a lot. It always notifies me. Data bars has an explanation point on it. Sending messages will shut of data signal. Random freezes and eventually reboots. People cant hear me on the phone unless I use the speaker icon is press. Cleaned flashed also.

SCH-968c a.k.a i535 Verizon (Straight Talk)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Reznor7:
Today's build isn't giving me all of the reboots, but the camera is very glitchy. Sometimes I get the cannot connect error, and other times it takes forever to load, but eventually does. I've reverted back to 3/19. Seems to be the most reliable.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ryanstfl:
I haven't tried the camera but thank god the reboots and freezes aren't there. What exactly was the issue? It was traumatic... ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jackyalice:
yes, camera is broken.

no auto reboots now.

any way to fix camera with some zip which can be flashed?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Samsung.Galaxy.S3:
No more reboots! But the flashlight is now broken. :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] matrixzone:
Hey. Will d2 be getting CM 12.1?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Reznor7:
Tried a clean flash, and everything seems good. I'll update once I have things "normal" on my phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jackyalice:
camera works?

IT cannot work in my phone with 3/28 nightly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Reznor7:
Spoke too soon. It inconsistently will take a few pictures, but always eventually ends with a connect error.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] phil0sophic:
Full wipe install

Did a full wipe install had camera issues: can't connect, freezing and hanging phone. WiFi would turn off randomly and system fc. Tried another install same thing. Reverted to 3/19 stable, reliable. ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Samsung.Galaxy.S3:
So it seems the 03/19 build had the last stable camera? I'm on the 03/27 build and have had sporadic camera "can't connect" issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] phil0sophic:
My phone does video OK but the camera stops after a picture is taken and hangs hangs with "unfortunitly camera has stopped", going to home screen and swiping the app off results in the ability to take another picture but it hangs after the shot again. Great thing is I have no other anomalies with this version (3-19).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
Using "A Better Camera" I can do everything with no problems on 3/19. I can't find anything wrong with this build.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] puffingonj:
I'm running 3 28 and it is solid I use open camera. Also was having a wicked battery drain so I went into privacy guard then advanced settings, from there I turned off keep awake and wake up and location for Google play. Battery lasts all day and then some now. Really happy. Thanks masta and invisiblek!!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Samsung.Galaxy.S3:
Anyone able to drop in an custom "host" file into /system/etc ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XdrummerXboy:
I have an ART question for you all.

How long does the "Android is upgrading... Optimizing app ## out of ##" take for you all? And for how many apps?

I was talking to a few people on Google+ who said their phone (one a nexus 4, another Note 3, both on ART) only takes about 3-5 minutes to optimize all their apps (230 apps for the Nexus 4)

It seems to take my GS3 about 30-45 minutes to update/optimize about 225 apps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
How long does it take to install Windows on an old p2 vs a core i7... Old hardware big os.. Slow as ****.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] invisiblek:
Anyone use GPS in recent (3/28 and later) builds? Better? Worse? No difference?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JumperPunk:
Just took a trip on the 28th using the 3/27 build. Barely missed it, sorry. For reference, it worked well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] griz.droidx:
LMAO.. But really 45 minutes for 200 apps? Mine takes a while for about 150 mostly small apps like ad away, firewall, small games like freecell, same game, no agendroid, jooleem frozen bubble, and zen pinball. Zen being the largest app. But it took me about 5-10 min max.

Question. CM generally didn't include all the "features" that other ROMs do. That said it's probably more stable. Is there a list of features somewhere? Their website used to be lacking is the case with most ROMs except Slim's AFAIK.

Also what gapps are you all using with the latest and greatest builds? I'd like to find some blacked out ones but don't want to install them one at a time. But I guess with the new themes most gapps get themed anyway. I did find a new post listing all gapps they're found along with other users. I used to use pa nano or pa pico. I'll look for the link and post it when I find it.

I have been disabling autostart and wake up in Google services too to prevent so many wakes. Damn my phone was continuously awake with the lollipop. On a kit kang at the moment. Itching to get back on the latest pop. This has been the most consistently built ROM for lollipop. Aicp was doing every other nightlies due to server overload but I have seen any of those in a while. Saw a few liquid builds but they've stopped. Slim seems to have died. Is this the end of the great sgs3 builds? I look at android file host every day and search for d2vzw and d2lte 5.0 and 5.1 on Google almost every day.

Also in invisibleks server is a directory called brick or something with a file for the d2 that's about 20Mb. What's that for. I think it may be called unbrick. Just wondering.

Well I'll end now and give someone else some space on here. Ha ha ha

Here's the gapps compilation thread link.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XdrummerXboy:
Yes that was my initial thought. But the Nexus 4 has similar hardware correct?

So does that mean all of you experience the same thing? Taking forever to "optimize" apps?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
I've done that and use Greenify and I never hit the wall during a day! Works great! Thanks to all for keepin this old phone going. Verizon just offered me $15 off a month to keep it, so I ain't in no hurry to upgrade yet. Can you imagine that? Verizon offering a discount for no reason?

Mine goes for about 25 min for about 150 apps. It just takes a looong time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jackyalice:
do you try the newest nightly now?

which gapps would make camera to work?

I flashed back to 3/12 build with slim gapps. Open Camera can work normally.

slim gapps here

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] timedroid:
Was hoping the camera commits would fix things. Got a few pictures in with the latest nightly, but it stopped working. Looks like segfault in the msm camera library accessing memory at 0xd.

Would the tombstone help anyone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bamaredwingsfan:
Are there any backup apps like titanium backup that works with lollipop? Titanium is pretty hit and miss for me
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] griz.droidx:
Wow I swear I don't believe mine takes that long but I'm installing in a few minutes and when I get some apps restored I'll actually time it. Just for ghits and siggles.

And actually I believe lollipop runs just as well as kit Kat. But the battery sucks for reasons already mentioned.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Samsung.Galaxy.S3:
03/27 Build

Camera: hit or miss (no consistency yet)

Optimze Apps: mine is about 100 or so apps. Load time is about 5-10 minutes. I have not gone longer than that.

Titanium Backup: v7.0.0.2 runs just fine in Lollipop for me.

Gapps: running pa-gapps-modular-micro-5.0.1 from TKruzze

Battery Drain: I haven't ran into this issue, yet. It's been good (knock on wood).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Reznor7:
Just went a whole day on vacation with the 3/30 build and had zero problems! Snap Camera performed flawlessly shooting pictures and video. Battery life seemed typical for the amount of work I was requiring of the phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jackyalice:
thanks for your information. I flashed it and it is as good as what u said.

no gapps and I use open camera well.

clean flash.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Reznor7:
I timed mine with today's build. It took me 13 minutes to optimize 129 apps and get to my home screen.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] griz.droidx:
That's sounds about how long it takes mine but I've yet to time it because I've yet to reboot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kyle5077:
Where are you guys getting new builds from? 3/23 is the newest build I see in any of the repos. Am I missing something?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Reznor7:
Invisiblek has been gracious enough to continue supplying nightlies and hosting them on his site: http://www.invisiblek.org/roms/cm-12.0/d2vzw/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
I'll update the OP tomorrow with links to his site. Until that lazy bunghole makes his own thread.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] invisiblek:
FYI: cm-12.0 nightlies are going to come to an end. I've sync'd 12.1 source now (i don't have space on my build box for both trees)

I'll update when those start rolling out
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XdrummerXboy:
What will the latest nightly be for 12.0 so we can download it as backup?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] invisiblek:
The one that's currently out there. But I won't be deleting it, at least not for quite awhile.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MrBrady:
I heard about a month ago that Android 5.1 would fix our camera issues. Is CM12.1 based on Android 5.1?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Samsung.Galaxy.S3:
Can't wait to check out 12.1 builds. Thanks for keeping this alive!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jackyalice:
It's a good news if it is true.

:o
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Reznor7:
I have the first 12.1 build installed from Invisiblek's site. Everything is working smoothly, including the camera (Snap Camera). Looks like Google Play Services is still going to be a battery hog, so I've disabled Wake Up, Keep Awake, and Auto Start.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ef-civic:
Dirty flash or wiped everything?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Reznor7:
Full wipe.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ef-civic:
Thanks. Installing now
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sammymcalaxy:
I've done that, and I also tried the tasker shell command.

I highly recommend the latter. It isolates the issue without disabling everything.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ghost Protocol:
Hello and Good Morning. Quick question... Is the first 12.1 build for the Samsung Galaxy S3 for Verizon? If yes, can you post the link or PM me?

Thank you. :highfive:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Reznor7:
Can you direct me to instructions for said method?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sammymcalaxy:
* Tasker and Root required

** tested and survives reboot

1. Create a profile based on "Event > System > Device Boot"

2. Add a "Run Shell" action with the command "pm enable com.google.android.gms/.update.SystemUpdateService" and tick the "Use Root" option

3. Add a "Run Shell" action with the command "pm disable com.google.android.gms/.update.SystemUpdateService" and tick the "Use Root" option

4. profit
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Bel_P:
Should we be using a different GApps package with the 12.1 build, or will the 5.0 GApps work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Looks like there are PA gapps for 5.1 now.. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=59691711&postcount=5 Id probably grab those. Not sure if there is much of a difference though.

You've been [MENTION=2044079]Nardholio[/MENTION]'d yo! :silly:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
Damn! I wish he'd use lubricant with that - ouch!! :p

How's your new phone? Thanks for keepin' an eye on us.

I dirty flashed and everything worked great! (with the exceptions below.) Stock camera - awesome! Videos, tap to focus, Google camera, too.

Couldn't find any problems, EXCEPT, Google Play Services was borked. I tried every gyration I could think of including TiBi shennanigans and could'nt get it to work. So I dloaded the Pico PA GApps for 5.1,which is basically just that, from Masta's thread (here is direct link to dload https://mega.co.nz/#!ExwSkDLQ!vAeESL13plwHu1Mo3SuSYhNzCLVUGw1H0ThdSz63Ud4 ) and that works.

HOWEVER, my Gmail started havin' kanipshin fits so I reinstalled it through the Play Store. Fine. Now the Google Camera won't play, and it's having the same effect on the other cameras as before - reboot required. It seems that upgrading to the 5.1 Google System Base has been something of a problem for some apps, though Calendar and Chrome seem fine. If I don't touch Google Camera, Stock camera and others work fine.

Just the experience of one [MENTION=2044079]Nardholio[/MENTION]-ed soul. (ouch!)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
New phone is good. Have only flashed a new kernel and unencrypted thus far. Having flash withdrawal but waiting cm12.1 to get some air behind its sails before I make the jump. It's nice having a fully functional phone again!

I was actually waiting to see what happened when d2 went 5.1..if it fixed all the things I was gonna put cm12.1 on the phone I'm giving my son in a few weeks. Put it back to stock so I didn't hear any complaints from him lol. Kids and their cameras ya know.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] azradiohead:
Hi, I'm a dirty flasher, just for grins I flashed 12.1 on top of the previous 12.0, and it was disaster with everything crashing after boot. I wiped and factory reset and everything worked great including stock and nexus camera. I decided what the heck and installed the DKP 3/15 kernel and while everything seemed to run well none of the cameras would work, so without wiping a second time I flashed CM12.1, without the DKP kernel, I wiped Cache/Dalvik and now stock and nexus cameras come up right away and work fine.

Thank you Mastamoon and Invisiblek, you guys have done a awesome job keeping this aging phone in service a little while longer.

Mastamoon, how's that Nexus working out for you? Are you 100% happy with your decision? We've got three S3's on Verizon, all over a year out of contract with Unlimited data on two of them so trying to decide what to do. Decisions decisions...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Yeah some of the camera hacks are kernel related so I wouldn't flash 3rd party kernels.

Still getting used the size of the Nexus 6 for sure. Other than that it's fine. Everything works. Seeing the m9 get soff so quickly makes me scratch my head for a second but knowing how other non Nexus phones are rarely 100% on CM keeps me happy I got a nexus.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LLStarks:
Dirty flash went fine for me.

I'm using euroskank's 5.1 gapps. No crashes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
I've continued to have various Google app crashes as the day goes on. Definitely flash a 5.1 GApp package, as full of one as you actually use. The pico package fixed some but not others. Or, just re-install them as you go as I've had to do.

Otherwise I don't think the dirty flash was the problem. So ... my laziness bites me in the kuchamba again!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] timedroid:
Is there a writeup or anything on what's been tried with the camera so far?

I'm trying to look at it not knowing much and being very confused.

I'm seeing it somehow trying to execute a string. I don't understand how a string gets there since it should be non-writable (but executable) memory according to the maps.

04/02 Build.

Anyone having issues with WiFi connectivity? I can't connect to my wireless router. I keep getting that failed to save message when trying to add a new connection.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jackyalice:
I got some wifi problem. It cannot find no SSID WiFi.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ghost Protocol:
Good Morning Everyone.

I, too, was having WiFi issues with build 4/02. Just flashed the latest (4/03) update and will keep an eye :eek: out for anything related to.

On another note ~ Is the Lock Screen suppose to rotate even when the option is turned off by default? If not... how can I fix it? Any tricks or simply wait for the next update? :confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ef-civic:
I looked at the Nexus 6 at T-Mobile the other. The size doesn't seem to bad to me. Liked the where the buttons were. Stock ROM is smooth of course but would like to see cm12.1 on it.

Masta, I'm guessing that the bootloader can be unlocked on the Verizon phone like you had mentioned before.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
fastboot oem unlock... Done. All Nexii on all carriers are unlockable.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Samsung.Galaxy.S3:
Trying 04/03 Build. Seeing the same issue. :eek: :crying:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Are you guys all wiping data or something between flashes? Why is there so much talk about adding wifi connections? Are you guys in that many new places that you have connections to add all the time?

Not mocking you guys or anything, just curious.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ghost Protocol:
Before flashing the 4/02 build, I cleaned flash. My issue with the WiFi is when first flashing the Rom. It seems that it takes awhile to 'catch' or 'grab' hold of the connection to the Router. Then at one point I lost connection and had to reconnect.

Any word in reference to the rotating Lock Screen guys? :fingers-crossed:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Bel_P:
This was good to hear. Just ordered my VZW Nexus 6. Shortly after I got your reply about the GApps my S3 decided that its NVRAM was tired. :D

Now I get to play with a new toy. Thanks to [MENTION=2963287]mastamoon[/MENTION] and [MENTION=2385005]invisiblek[/MENTION] for their work on this ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Lockscreen rotation is disabled by an overlay.. Sounds like either the overlay didn't make it through or the code that the overlay enables to disable lockscreen rotation is broke or missing.

Probably just have to give it some time. They tend to take care of the more pressing issues first then start cleaning up the nags.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MrBrady:
Same here. Eventually connected. Says connected via WiFi Assistant or something like that.

---------- Post added at 09:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:52 AM ----------

I'm also getting connectivity issues / no internet errors when using Google Now cards.

Seen this before, even on 4.4.4 ROMs. Anyone know a fix?

4/2 cm12.1 with 3/15 Stock 5.1 Gapps package
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] azradiohead:
I did have the Wifi issue when I first clean installed (04/02) and had to skip it in initial Wifi setup. When I got to main screen I went to Wireless settings and still couldn't get it to save. I turned Wifi off, rebooted and the turned Wifi back on and re-entered my SSID and it finally save it and connected. I turn my phone off at night while it's charging and this morning I noticed awhile ago that I was on LTE not Wifi so I went into Wifi, saw my SSID and clicked Connect and it's been working fine since. Maybe a fluke but try toggling Wifi Off then back On to see if that fixes things.

On a side note, I noticed yesterday that battery was draining pretty fast and it had been Awake with no Deep Sleep (per TricksterMod) so I rebooted and it's been sleeping normally since. I think I hadn't rebooted the second time after installing the rom the last time yesterday.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] :
WiFi assistant looks like its some crap Google is shipping with nexus devices. Use dhacker29's gapps. Don't ask for a link, you can literally Google that and find them

Also make sure you're formatting system in between flashes when changing gapps packages. Also a clean flash from cm 11 or 12 to 12.1 is not required.
