I still don't understand why the device trees aren't public
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jonny30bass:
Ic. That sucks. TWRP never works for me. After flashing it and booting into recovery, it always says that the internal storage is 0 MB, no files show up, and I can't flash anything. TWRP isn't functional on my SIII for some reason, but PhilZ works perfectly. Any idea why TWRP doesn't work for me?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
My feeling is that in Philz you had Advanced Functions>Sdcard target set to /data/media/0 instead of /data/media. So, you now have another layer of /0 in your file structure. TWRP doesn't seem to have the same setting, so it may be looking for your sdcard to be mounted on /data/media but it's not there. There's an easy fix, if you find this is the problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jonny30bass:
Yes. That is probably the problem. What's the fix?

EDIT: I reflashed PhilZ and changed to data/media, but TWRP still doesn't work. I think it is looking for the wrong mount points. In the TWRP log it says the following:

E: Unable to find partition size for ' /boot'

E: Primary block device ' /dev/block/mmcblk0p15' for mount point ' /data' is not present!

E: Unable to mount ' /data'

E: Unable to recreate /data/media folder

E: Unable to find partition size for ' /recovery'

........and so on.

Dial *228 it'll work after u program it with that

This is for straight talk users only do not dial *228 if u don't use st talk
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] syst3merror:
Does tap to pay work with this? (google wallet)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
Look to see if your sdcard data is mounted on /data/media/0 or /data/media/0/0. Those are the actual mount points for the internal sdcard. If it's the second one, you can just copy and past everything from /0/0 to /0, but don't forget to include the hidden files. However, I'm not an expert. But, I've done this same thing numerous times, including once recently when Philz restored my stuff the same way.

You might research to see if there's another way to do it or another explanation? You might paste what you provided above into Google and see what you get?

---------- Post added at 09:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:18 AM ----------

EDIT: BTW, for changing it in Philz, you would have to restore for it to be right, yes? That might be all you need to do?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lepa71:
I don't think dialing *228 works on smart phones.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kenny1974:
Yes, it does. It has to be done to program your sim card
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ugachris:
Bad bad bad advice. This is from Reddit just this week:

http://www.reddit.com/r/nexus6/comments/2svsmk/psa_for_verizon_users_never_dial_228_it_will_kick/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kenny1974:
I want aware of that. That's great to know for Verizon customers. I'm on straight talk and had to use *228 to get service tho
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] giveerapearlnecklace:
The guys on straight talk so am I we don't have lte* u have to dial *228 to program sim for Straight talk ONLY were not even saposed to use a sim at all so that's our work around

He said a couple of pages ago he has the sch-s968c on st talk and he's trying out this ROM he's in the same boat I'm in we have to use sch-i35 bla bla roms
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ugachris:
You're on a Verizon thread in a Verizon forum. When someone on a Verizon GSIII sees your post, tries this and fries their SIM, they're not gonna be happy. Just saying, throw a disclaimer up there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DubleJayJ:
Pretty sure the text saying "Straight talk ONLY" is a disclaimer.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] giveerapearlnecklace:
Nah he's right he's talking about an earlier post and I added a disclaimer I should of just pm'd the guy
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ugachris:
Thanks and thanks to [MENTION=2133806]kenny1974[/MENTION] for the edits!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XdrummerXboy:
Im a tad confused... I remember activating my phone on my own when I first got it, no need to take it in or make a call to tech support.

I was pretty sure the instructions were for *228, but I guess I could be wrong...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ugachris:
Give it a ring and let us know what happens so we all know for sure.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XdrummerXboy:
I'm not saying I don't believe him..

I'm just confused, haha. Maybe I'm not remembering the activation method properly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kenny1974:
You're right, I just didn't know Verizon users didn't use *228
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Prack:
I can confirm that *228 can cause issues on Verizon. I did it a long time ago and lost LTE and had to use 3g while they shipped me a replacement lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] faehsemc:
Can we focus less on *228 and straight talk sim issues and more on the ROM? I'm using an international Spanish sim card, have been for a while now and never once had any sim issues related to this ROM. If this can work for me on an international, it'll work for you on ST or whatever else. Please post this unrelated ROM garbage somewhere else. No disrespect meant.

Thanks for all your hard work masta!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DubleJayJ:
I saw that the new build had lockscreen customization on Reddit, really curious to see what they meant by that. Shouldn't be too long for it to optimize these last 12 apps...

EDIT - It's nice that I can choose a different app, maybe one day it'll be a widget
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jonny30bass:
I've tried everything. I've put many many hours into solving this problem, but nothing has helped. I've seen other people having the same problem with their devices, but there is no fix. I'm just going to stick with that latest PhilZ recovery provided by Mastamoon until I get a new device.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
Yeah, if you're like me you hate not to conquer it, but sometimes you can't win with these things. Philz does seem to be working without a hitch on 12.:)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jonny30bass:
I found the reason why it doesn't work. This is a quote from someone on the TWRP page: "Newer GS3 devices have an additional security flag in the kernel and require additional modification to function properly. Currently, version 2.6.3.0 works on newer GS3s, but the newest version (2.6.3.1) reverts back to having unrecognized storage partitions."

I do have a newer VZW SIII. So this is almost certainly my issue. I don't know how to get past this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RoundBagel:
Hi! Used this rom as daily driver for about a month and I I've decided that I really missed the camera.

I reverted to 4.4.4 Cyanogenmod & have issues with video recording. I apologize if this has been answered before. If anybody can point me to the right direction, I appreciate it :) thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ghost Protocol:
Hello. I have been using this Rom for over a month and have been using ~ CameraMX. Give it a try and let me know what you think. Just make sure you have the latest and greatest Rom release.

Have fun and enjoy!! :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RoundBagel:
This is excellent! Had to live without a camera for a while until CameraMX! Thank you for your help :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ghost Protocol:
You're very welcome!! :highfive:

Give this Rom a chance. You will not regret it. This is and has been my daily driver. Enjoying every minute, too!!! :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RoundBagel:
I personally had no issues with CM12 Alpha build besides the camera ? (now fixed w/ camMX)

I'm definitely coming back here
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XdrummerXboy:
Does video work?

There are SEVERAL camera apps that work for just pictures, but if it works for video I'll try it out.

---------- Post added at 05:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:19 PM ----------

Not sure, but you may need to flash back to stock first (for drivers or something) before going back to 4.4

I had similar issues when trying to revert, even though it was a clean flash.

If you try this, use scottsroms.com and find galaxy S3 under archived devices.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RoundBagel:
No issues reverting for me. everything works as intended

CameraMX does everything on my end btw
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XdrummerXboy:
On lollipop?

And which developer? There's a few of "camera MX".

Theres one from the developer Appic labs with a blue icon,

Insta camera MX by Siprus with a colorful lens, and one from history creations with black and white icon.

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LLStarks:
Why is the whole camera system still wonky? Driver and firmware issues never stopped us in the past.

It's never been broken for this long in previous nightly cycles for new Android releases.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] toosurreal01:
Camera MX works for me as well, but video doesn't
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DubleJayJ:
IIRC, Samsung and CM stuff got combined and messed everything up and they're working on finding out what's needed and what's not. Also Lollipops Camera2 api might have something to do with it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XdrummerXboy:
I remember hearing that too.

Is the issue specific to our device (galaxy s3 in general) or all/some/few Samsung devices?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DubleJayJ:
AFAIK it's just us. Could be others, just unaware of it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XdrummerXboy:
And CM is trying to fix it even though there's not really much support for us?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DubleJayJ:
Not a clue, that's a question for Mastanoon
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Sadly the camera issues are way above my skill level. And I don't have a team, but there is work going on trying to get it to work.

I'm literally just supplying you guys with builds because official builds won't begin until camera is fixed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Reznor7:
I'm just glad to hear that we MAY eventually be included in the official builds.

[MENTION=2963287]mastamoon[/MENTION], I've been trying to dig this answer out but I'm coming up with nothing so far and I don't want to try it till I can get some kind of verification. Ok, the straight talk s3 is having to use a SIM to run the d2vzw and d2lte ROMs, the d2spr IIRC has this issue fixed, how reasonably possible do you think it would be to try the d2spr ROMs with different rilblobs and build prop edits like the tmobile devices do with the d2att ROMs, would it be possible to bypass SIM dependency if we did this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
I don't want to give you wrong info. If its been fixed somewhere id like to know the fix. Link to the rom?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droidriven:

Wow, I didn't realize that. I thought we just weren't going to get anything official ever again. Glad to hear that's not the case!

Our Big Brother Verizon is "Looking After" Us

From a New York Times article in today's paper:

Verizon’s Mobile ‘Supercookies’ Seen as Threat to Privacy

"For the last several months, cybersecurity experts have been warning Verizon Wireless that it was putting the privacy of its customers at risk. The computer codes the company uses to tag and follow its mobile subscribers around the web, they said, could make those consumers vulnerable to covert tracking and profiling.

It looks as if there was reason to worry.

...Turn, an advertising software company, was using Verizon’s unique customer codes to regenerate its own tracking tags after consumers had chosen to delete what is called a cookie — a little bit of code that can stick with your web browser after you have visited a site. In effect, Turn found a way to keep tracking visitors even after they tried to delete their digital footprints.

...Verizon is now at the forefront of telecommunications companies selling intelligence about their customers to advertisers. AT&T experimented last year with a similar ad-targeting program, which involved inserting a unique numeric code into a subscriber’s web requests. But after scrutiny in the news media, AT&T said it was halting its program, at least until it came up with a better approach."

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/01/26/t...e-supercookies-seen-as-threat-to-privacy.html
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DubleJayJ:
I remember seeing this a while back. IIRC, Verizon does now what AT&T used to. If you use any of their data services when you visit a site they inject some code and you get zombie cookies.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XdrummerXboy:
I don't like that they do this.

But if they get away with it for much longer, they had BETTER lower the cost of service, because I bet they're making bank with these super cookies...

Also, there's a slight workaround if you're using the chrome (maybe beta?) Browser. I would have thought its if the data compressing is ENABLED since it passes through googles servers which strip it out, but for some reason I think its when the compression is DISABLED.

[MENTION=2963287]mastamoon[/MENTION]

I think the SIM dependency fix has to be in this set of ROMs, they are the ONLY CM12 d2spr that I can find, I'm linking you to the main download page, there are several CM12's there, I don't know exactly which build it is but I'm going to assume they've all had dependency removed since they are CM12 on a natively CDMA non SIM device.

They're trying to get the camera2 api to work with our phone, that's what's stopping them. That's for the old api
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droidriven:
We use a SlimISP_PH.bin.zip to fix our cam on some ROMs.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DubleJayJ:
That's for the old camera api. The new api that Lollipop uses is Camera2. I'm just taking a guess but Cyanogenmod is trying to get it to work on all devices and ours is having some troubles and that's what they're working on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droidriven:
You guys aren't using third party cam?

Yeah it doesn't work in our new ROMs either, hence "some" ROMs. I've never had this much trouble finding a completely working ROM but that comes with the territory since lolly is so new for our devices. Still SUCKS though.

Anybody tried different stock apps instead of trying to fix the present stock.

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droidriven:
It seems a lot of things changed in CM as a whole around Oct/Nov that are causing many issues on all devices using it, its causing many many many headaches, I haven't done a lot of looking but it seems that CM12 isn't stable or doesn't have everything working as would be desirable, nor any based on CM that are ironed out yet. I like CM so I hope this junk gets straightened out soon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dmginc:
It's barely in beta yet. It's still experimental. You should be thankful there are ANY builds of CM12 for you to play around with right now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droidriven:
I am, but my point wasn't about CM12, I was speaking of CM in general, not a particular build or version. I wasn't complaining, just stating facts.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] meskes:
I went ahead and did a factory wipe, anyway. That fixed the audio routing issue. That's weirdest damn bug I've ever seen. So far, this ROM seems to be very stable, and snappy. It also seems that they fixed the GPS driver issue, that was causing the phone to kernel panic, and reboot. So far, I'm petty impressed, and can't wait for them to get the camera issues fixed, so they finally include the device, officially. Thanks [MENTION=2963287]mastamoon[/MENTION]

Yes, cm11 is pretty darn good right now, but TW does have it's advantages.

However, I'm really happy with this ROM, on 1/20.

Every time I use 1/23 I get massive 'Miscellaneous' battery drain. I'm talking like 40%. Something is keeping it awake and I haven't troubleshot it to find out what, but it can come out of the blue and suddenly, BAM, 20% is gone. I haven't had this on 1/20, which has been the best battery performance for me so far. (EDIT: Of course, I could be wrong about this and some app is misbehavin.)
