Ok, stop being hard headed, you have been told already that the SIM issue is in the RIL files, NOT the build prop. Many experienced people have played with the build prop and have only ended up with a brick in the end. The SIM issue is already being worked on for the straight talk device, stop trying to go rogue, if you truly think you have the knowledge and ability to solve this issue then go add your skills and knowledge in with the others with experience, you'll make a lot more progress that way. I'm telling you that you are barking up the wrong tree, you are wasting your time and running circles that have already been tried from every possible angle. We have a dev that has worked on CM and Liquidsmooth development, there will be more progress accomplished if you support the efforts of the devs already at work on this. Trying to wing this on your own will most likely just end in failure. I'm not downing you I'm just saying that if you truly wish to solve this issue then you will get a lot further by combining your efforts with the ones already working on it. Build prop mods, flashing modems, editing APNs, and other mods have been tried for months on the straight talk device by users MORE and LESS experienced than you. The CM team THEMSELVES have said that the issue has more to do with the changes that have been done to CM itself at its base, one person with a little bit of knowledge isn't going to come in and change that, I really do suggest that you collaborate with the ones already working in this issue if you expect to really get anywhere.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] giveerapearlnecklace:
Umm ok I didn't know I was goin to piss anyone off lol, I musta missed the ril files part I didn't know that but its good to know I've realized its not the bprop. But I'm just screwing around anyways I just like the challenge of it really umm ya that's it just messin around with my phone is all
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droidriven:
By no means was I putting you down, my point was merely that if you want to find a solution then apply it somewhere that can accomplish forward progress, this place is not just about learning to customize our own devices, its about pooling our knowledge in one place for everyone. You, I and all of us together would gain more benefit by putting our ability and knowledge in the right pool. This thread is about ONE d2vzw/d2lte ROM, our issue is an ALL d2vzw/d2lte ROM issue on ONE device, this is not an issue for other devices on this/these ROMs, so instead of coming to a ROM thread to work on a device based issue, go to the device thread to deal with the device issue, I'm just trying to speak mutually beneficial sense to you, am I making any sense or am I still offending you? If so then I'm sorry, I'm just trying to point you in the right direction because it is in that direction that you are more likely to achieve your goal. It would benefit us all with this device if you take your input and works in progress to the "Straight Talk SCH-S968C info" thread, you'll be looking for a dev named rixter and another experienced programmer/user named heXacode, they are the ones doing the main work on this but there hasn't been much from them lately, go get up with them and put some fire into the work on this device, getting this done will give us the base to start a whole new line of ROMs built specifically for our device instead of using these other ROMs made for other devices.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Reznor7:
Just wanted to post a big thank you to Masta for single handedly keeping our S3s alive and well on Lollipop!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Is nowhere near single handedly ;)

Thanks for the sentiment though
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XdrummerXboy:
AGREED. I'm gonna give the ROM another shot with my Moto 360 here in a couple hours, or... Maybe when I'm done typing this! :)

Thanks again Masta!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Reznor7:
Anyone have issues restoring apps with Titanium? I can do a fresh install of an app and restore the data, and system data restores fine, but it just hangs on restoring an actual app.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Tibu is buggy with stock Su.. Should work OK with SuperSU I believe.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Reznor7:
That did the trick! Thanks again!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DubleJayJ:
Amazing what kind of CM12 themes are already out. Really looking forward to trying this one out http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-3/themes-apps/cm12-dark-material-cm12-theme-engine-wip-t3005868
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Reznor7:
I've seen multiple people mention camera problems. Has anyone found a reliable camera app? I've tried stock, Camera Zoom, Snap, and A Better Camera. No luck with any of them.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kenny1974:
Open camera has worked really good for me
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
Like you, I've struggled. Nexus Camera seems to be reliable for me at the moment - no others.

EDIT: Let me amend that - nothing works for me consistently. They're all hit or miss at any moment [emoji107]
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droidriven:
Have you tried Open Camera? Its running fine with the straight talk S3 on CM12
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LLStarks:
Looks awesome. Dark Holo was always meh.

Next build should have the theme engine
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DubleJayJ:
/r/cm12themes has a list of all the other themes but I'm a sucker for dark apps. Just looks better than the standard white most of the time
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
Yep! Open, A Better Camera, Nexus, Camera 51, Snap Camera, Camera MX, Camera ICS,..., the app just ain't the issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DubleJayJ:
It's already been discussed, Samsung shenanigans and CM foolery got combined and aren't playing well together. They don't know what's needed and what's not and are in the process of figuring it out
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XdrummerXboy:
Happy to report I got CM12 working with my Moto 360, so it will be my daily driver from now on! Still don't know what the issue was the first few tries.

Nexus camera seems to be working well for me. I haven't tested any video though. Can anyone say off the top of their head if it works or not?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DubleJayJ:
I don't think anyone has video working yet
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ugachris:
Clear data and cache in the main (cm) camera app, then reboot and try one of the other apps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kenny1974:
I had forgot until just now, but I had to disable stock camera from app manager before any other camera app would work
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] deesto-xda:
Thanks for this build.

I'm having a recurring problem with both GPS (no lock, no location at all) and USB tethering (charges fine but USB conneciton is never detected). I don't think these are at all related to this ROM, as I have had the same problem with several other ROMs, but was hoping they might come back after a full wipe and flash: no dice. The only thing that gets close to a location is Maps, and no idea how it's doing it, since all other GPS tests and detection show no lock or location, even using aGPS. Have tried the "tighten back screws" fix a few times, but it hasn't helped. Also don't know what's causing the USB tether problem: Storage -> USB connection doesn't even bring up the MTP selection menu. Any other thoughts on what to try to get either working?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droidriven:
There is also a trick that involves using a small piece of aluminum foil when you do the tighten screws trick for GPS, as for your usb issues, make sure you have properly installed your usb drivers, sometimes they don't fully install correctly and your device will show but won't connect properly, it can also do this depending on the OS you are using on your pc. Try uninstalling your drivers then reinstalling them without your device connected. Also make sure you are installing the full driver set, some driver packs don't have all the drivers. You can install Kies and it should install all of your drivers correctly, just make sure Kies is closed and not running in the background if you use any of the other tools on your pc for flashing uour device, kies running in the background can interfere with other tools.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kenny1974:
New build is up and now has themes! I've been waiting for this
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NoCrAppleHere:
CM11 ISSUE:

I am on the 11-10 build and have been forever now it seems. It was rare that the camera wouldn't work, once in a very blue moon, and if it did act up, a reboot would fix it easily, but now I'm getting constant errors and reboots aren't even helping. I use google camera mainly but even when I try the stock camera same issue "cannot connect to camera" error pops up. Any ideas? Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DubleJayJ:
Camera isn't working yet, only on some apps. Just read the past few pages and you'll get the gist.

Anyone able to install CM12 themes though? I tried several and I get "Failed to install theme"
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NoCrAppleHere:
Thanks though, but I'm referring to CM11. This is a dual arena in which we talk of 11 or 12, originally a CM11 arena.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XdrummerXboy:
What is the aluminum foil trick? I have GPS issues, and it would be nice to try something else.

Also, is there any similar fix for data reception similar to GPS?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kenny1974:
I've tried a few themes and all have worked for me
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DubleJayJ:
My mind completely skipped over that part, my mistake. Wouldn't be a normal day if I didn't have a brain fart

Which ones have you tried? Tried dark material and elixium both got error
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kenny1974:
Both of those worked for me
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DubleJayJ:
Tried setting my DPI back to normal(I run 300) and still no install. Maybe it's because I remove some system apps I don't use(browser, cm file manager etc)? Here's a pic BTW showing they don't install but a normal app does. [MENTION=2963287]mastamoon[/MENTION]
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Serious gps lock issues usually require going back to a stock based rom, getting a gps lock, then flashing back to the rom of your choice.

It's a known derp with d2 throughout its history.

My gps works awesome.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
I tried the material dark theme and had force closes here n there. Gonna wait for theme manager and themes to get a little more ironed out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
BTW, clock options are back. I love the center clock mod, just wish nova would bring back it's clock hiding options.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DubleJayJ:
Upon getting the "failed to install" message humbe bundle app would fc
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kenny1974:
I didn't have any fc issues with dark material, but it was too hard to read text messages. I'm using tigers eye now with no issues
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] deesto-xda:
What worked for me so far, was another full wipe, loading an old 4.1 stock backup, which also couldn't get a GPS lock (even though it could before when I tried this trick, which makes all of this make even less sense to me), then another full wipe, and this build again, and now GPS is working perfectly. I honestly don't get it, and it's driving me nuts. Glad it's working, but I feel like I could lose it again at any time. And at least this seems to show that the GPS hardware itself isn't dead, as I was starting to suspect.

Don't think it's the drivers, as I used to be able to plug the phone into any OS (Mac, Linux, Win), and at least there would be a prompt to either mount or install missing drivers. Now the phone doesn't get a mount response, no "USB connected" message on either end, and no "USB connection method" menu in the Storage settings on the phone. But the phone charges fine via AC or USB.

I am trying to get this rom working on a Straight talk SCH-S968C But I am having trouble getting any functionality out of the rom on my phone. I am getting the "no sim" icon in the notifications but at the moment I don't have any verizon sim (or any sim for that matter) laying around to pop in to see if I can circumvent the requirment. Any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kenny1974:
I'm using a straight talk SCH-S968C with mastamoon cm12 on it right now. Its been my daily driver for over a month now. You MUST use a SIM to make it work
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Omegapsy:
Any particular SIM you recomend? DOes the SIM have to be active or can it be dead and just a place holder?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Rushead:
Reboot to recovery, wipe cache & Dalvik. That should solve it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DubleJayJ:
New build today, can someone confirm it fixes themes?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kenny1974:
My themes were already working on yesterdays builds, but I'll be flashing a different phone later. If nobody posts by then I'll let you know
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DubleJayJ:
Thanks. I'd love to try but only got 300MB of data and won't be home til tonight
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Reznor7:
Here's an odd one. I did a fresh install of today's release. I've tried installing some games from the Amazon app store and the Humble Bundle app. They are all failing to install. Anyone else experience this?

Edit: It appears to be only some games that won't install. No idea why.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DubleJayJ:
So still gives me an error on latest build. Still willing to wait though for dark lollipop, won't be that bad.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kenny1974:
Looks like I'm not flashing the other phone. The guy didn't show
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sjpritch25:
I'm able to install themes with no problem. I did have one that blacked out my texts. Which one are you having trouble with?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DubleJayJ:
Elixium, TigersEye, Dark Material just to name a few
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] savagebunny:
I'm using my ZeroLemon 7000mAH. On that run I had a lot of heavy load considering 8hrs of screen on time so I think I did pretty good

Probably a zerolemon battery.

Has anyone tried video calling in hangouts? My sis in law just did and my FFC is upside down. Rear is just fine...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fsiddique:
My FFC is upside down as well on CM 11 on both my S3 and my G2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Atamagaokashii:
It works fine in snapchat and camera. I only just noticed it in hangouts so far...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Reborn627:
The good news is that the ffc doesn't crash the phone ;)

Peace,

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Atamagaokashii:
So true lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] savagebunny:
For testing purposes will this ROM allow us to use ART? I tried I'm developer settings, it reboots but it boots up really quick, from what I've been reading it takes quite a bit at first boot after switching to ART. Any idea?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jaegermeiste:
I've been running ART for over a week now without any issues. As far as booting after switching runtimes, it did take a while and bootlooped at least once...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TwistingSoul:
And you don't have any errors with the "unfortunately the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped" message?

That's my only issue when I switch to ART after any type of flash (clean or dirty) and with any GApps package I have installed, though as Mastamoon said:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dmginc:
Can we flash it with the latest regular CWM touch?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] savagebunny:
Gotcha. Fixed it last night. Xposed was preventing switching to ART but I tried to do it at 3am last night, woke up at 447am and my phone was still stuck at the CM loading screen. Not sure if I should try again but I did update to the 12-27 build from 12-14
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jaegermeiste:
The only issue I had with GApps crashing was related to Sound Search. I originally used the recommended GApps in the OP. I've now switched to the 123013 PA GApps, which seems to have resolved the Sound Search issue. All PA Gapps have been ART compatible for a few weeks. Since PA Gapps aren't the recommended ones for this ROM, use at your own risk and YMMV.

EDIT: This new GApps also seems to have fixed an issue I was having with voice commands/TTS navigation guidance not working in Maps, but I haven't yet tried it while in a car dock.

Also general FYI TiBu works with ART, it was updated a while ago. Don't know about WhatsApp, because I don't use that. Various threads/websites talking about ART have highlighted those two incompatibilities.

Also remember when flashing GApps to wipe cache/Dalvik.

[Insert standard disclaimer here about scary developer options bricking phones, experimental, et cetera.]

---------- Post added at 07:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:19 AM ----------

I've seen comments elsewhere about issues with ART and XPosed - I've never needed to use it.

The newer builds seem to be much less flaky in relation to ART. I'm currently running Masta's 12/27.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] anacree:
I'm on an old Masta build from 2+ months ago and am still using twrp recovery. Do I need to switch to cw recovery? Can I glass that from within twrp? Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] savagebunny:
Re: [ROM][CM11.x]mastamoon's unofficial cm11.x

Ya I agree they are much less flaky the newer builds. I'm on 12-27 as you and its running good. Just one game doesn't work with ART and it's Temple Run 2 but not like I care. Everything else I use daily runs great. I'm trying to pinpoint what is eating my battery more. Lost a lot overnight last night.

Also my data either when I'm connected to my extender or out in town on 4G it says I'm connected but won't send data or receive at all.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] joedajoester:
How does this compare to cyanogenmod? Has a few more cherrypicks? Im looking for a completely vanilla aosp experience(nexus experience) but i guess it doesnt exist for our phones.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Happy New Year everyone. Just wanted to say thanks for using my builds and being helpful and positive through the ups and downs. :)

Sorry for the lack of updates lately, vacation is a ***** ^_^

CHEERS!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Atamagaokashii:
Happy new years masta.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] goatman101:
Same to you mastamoon. Thanks for doing the builds for us.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zachf714:
Happy new year ago =)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Are you on this stock rom or have you switched kernels or have any other mods installed?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DubleJayJ:
Besides custom font, nope. Didn't think that would create a problem but I'll flash back stock font. Also, someone said they were having issues with Humble bundle installing so I uninstalled and reinstalled and got this. I can install anything fine from play store though

EDIT- Apparently having that custom font was breaking themes. Worked fine for the CM11 theme manager, guess I was expecting a tad bit too much from an alpha theme manager
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kenny1974:
The dark material that everyone is wanting made my texts unreadable
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Glad you figured that part out. Not sure about the low space problem. I think that was an initial lollipop issue with apps, maybe it's just a bum app.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DubleJayJ:
Are you using Google messenger? I am and mine is fine. Also, I was stupid and set my lockscreen wallpaper to the theme and then back to normal CM theme and now my lockscreen wallpaper isn't transparent anymore. Anyone know how to make it back to transparent?

After I installed stock font I went back to install and it went through fine
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kenny1974:
I'm using dark wallpapers, elixium font, and tigers eye style. Its the perfect match. Lmao
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dbt816:
Did a clean install per the op with the 1/21 package. It booted, but sat at the animated "balls" for 30 minutes before I did a battery pull. Going to try the 1/15 build to see what happens.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kenny1974:
Its normal for lollipop to take a long time to boot from a clean install. You should've let it run its course

---------- Post added at 08:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:35 PM ----------

I use the stock SMS app
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dbt816:
I looked through the thread and saw that others reported long boot times, but not 30 minutes. Judgement call to pull the battery :) I've got 1/15 booting now...and it's behaving the same way... so I'll just let it go.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kenny1974:
Yeah, mine took about 30 minutes once from a clean install. I usually make something to eat, have a beer, and take a nap when its booting up. Lol. Its well worth the wait
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jonny30bass:
Why are you recommending TWRP instead of PhilZ now?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Twrp is still actively being supported for our device. Philz is no longer active.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Omegapsy:
Not trying to sound like a squeaky wheel, but I am still curious if using this rom on a SCH-S968C (Straight Talk S3 Variant) requires a functional SIM card or if the SIM can be deactivated and just a place holder. As well as if it needs to be a verizon or if it can be any SIM card.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] giveerapearlnecklace:
I have the same phone. Yes u need a sim and I use a old verzion sim so I can't speak for the any sim thing from experiance but from what I've read on these forums any sim will do. Camera won't work you'll have to use open camera from play store. Video record doesn't work on anything that I know of. I'm workin on moddin a few things to get rid of the sim thing but its gonna be a long road as I'm pretty new to messin with andriod & linux but ill pm ya if I ever figure it out (u probly won't even have an s3 by then lol)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Omegapsy:
Okay. So I just need any old verizon sim that will fit into the phone then. Active or not. Correct? Cause I can get a verizon sim from someone that is easy.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kenny1974:
Right, it doesn't need to be active
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Omegapsy:
Thanks. I have a sim now I will pop it in and see what I get. Thanks for the help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] deesto-xda:
Is the camera still a known problem? Doesn't work for me after full wipe and flash of the 1/15 build, not even disabling the 'camera' app and using something else helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DubleJayJ:
Still a problem, yes. I use snapchat just because I get the best quality and it has built in text editing and filters. Go through the past few pages and you'll find others that work
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] deesto-xda:
Thanks. Only recent mentions I see are to disable the 'camera' app and install something else (didn't work for me), and one to use Open Camera (for straight talk though, not for this model; however it does seem to work but not the best features or quality). But Open Camera does open without crashing, which is a plus!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Omegapsy:
Okay so I have gotten this rom to work with my phone however I cannot send text or media messages using the default messaging app is this a known bug in the rom? Or is this something I can fix?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DubleJayJ:
Which messaging app are you using? Default doesn't exactly help, that's either the one CM gives you or Google Messenger. I've been using Google messenger fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LLStarks:
Do you know when you or invisiblek will start building our own TWRP with an updated kernel and F2FS?

Nothing pains me more to see CM12 flashes format back to ext4 after using Philz or Multi Boot TWRP

I heard Dees-Troy would update our device tree, but that wouldn't be reflected until the next auto-build for a new TWRP release
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
I think invisidan was in talks with him already.
