I'm trying to download TWRP 2.8.5.0 d2vzw from the download site but its not downloading, it just keeps cycling through the 10 sec wait time and doesn't start the download, reclicking when it doesn't start isn't changing anything, I can't find any other download links, where else can I get it, I've tried the TWRP app

When the hack does become available, will it be incorporated into this ROM since it's not "pure" CM? The lack of a reliable camera is really the only thing holding me back from running CM12-based ROMs.

As for taking video, I see reports of people saying Viva works. Is that this app? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.quvideo.xiaoying
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
It's 99.9% cm.. Yes it would be included.. Before it ever hit official nightlies.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LLStarks:
Eh?

Why does CM care about what we cherrypick or put in our device branches?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
There is some play there, but in general, they don't allow just anything even into device trees. They put trust into their device maintainers to keep a certain level of conformity.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Stealth111:
Masta, do you know why I wouldn't be able to get the PayPal app to install? It tries, then just says app not installed. As you know I do not run gapps. Are they needed to get this installed, or am I missing something? I used to be able to do it with CM11....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
It just installed ok for me. I'd have to check out a log to see why yours is failing. I can't see why it would require google services, but anything is possible I guess.

Not a flashable zip.. Try pull8bg the apk out and installing just that, or unzip into data/app

Lollipop is weird with apps. IDK if the apk I pulled off my phone would install everything.

If you have es file explorer,you can just select backup, and it will backup the original apk. I will keep trying to mess with this file i guess...

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
The apk in that zip won't install? Did you unzip the folder into data/app? Either or I mean.. Not both lol.

Or see if apkmirror has the original apk.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Stealth111:
Tried extracting the zip and installing apk from there, same deal, "app not installed" already tried pushing 3 diff apks into data/app folder with no luck. It just doesn't like this app, all my 30 other apps all work great...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
You'd need to push the APK to /data/app and then change the permissions to rw-r-r. Given LP, you might be forced to create a folder in that path with "Object Name" of the App. That's Different from what the APK File is named.For Example "Boat Browser.apk" in my case is "com.boatbrowser.free-2".

You can Pick this Zip file, add your apk to the same folder as existing one in the zip. Flash.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Stealth111:
After 5 hours of screwing with it, I have come to the conclusion that you HAVE to have the bull**** GAPPS installed to have the app install....Now it is either keep the gapps so I can have PayPal and end up ultimately hating my phone because I absolutely despise gapps, or just have no PayPal app...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bmeek:
I recently resurrected my old d2vzw by dismantling it and scraping off the broken power button (it's amazing how it's possible to fully operate this device with no power button). I'm using it as a mini tablet with WiFi only, and I've found that the current official cm11 nightly is working well.

When I tried this CM12 build, the only real issue was WiFi connection drops and intermittent-but-immediate failures on connection attempts. My workspace has a steady-but-rather-poor signal from the household hub running "Mixed WPA2/WPA-PSK" authentication.

Any like experiences or suggestions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
It might be a single lib that comes with gapps flashable zip. A log would probably point us to what it's looking for. Using PA Pico gapps might give you just enough without installing anything extra.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
I really haven't noticed any wifi issues. But I don't find myself on fringe wifi much, without LTE jumping in and taking over.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Reznor7:
I've had quite a few WiFi issues with my WPA networks, weak and strong signals alike. I've even had issues with my saved WiFi list getting wiped!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DubleJayJ:
I've never had WiFi issues on CM12. I've had all kinds of data issues and where it doesn't identify what kind of signal(LTE, 3G) I have and it just shows bars, but never WiFi problems.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bmeek:
rumor says it may be WPA2...

Thanks. As I say, the connection is stable on the same device running cm11. No temptation to switch to LTE (or mobile data issues) since this phone doesn't have a SIM in it. I noticed a post over in the official cm11 thread by [MENTION=5238493]Reznor7[/MENTION] complaining of the same symptoms on CM12 when using WPA2. I've just set my hub to plain "WPA-PSK" as a test, I've flashed cm12 and I'll be testing the theory just as soon as this thing finishes booting...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
I use wpa2psk on both my routers at home and both at work.

I do have "avoid bad connections" turned off in advanced wifi settings, maybe something in there is causing your issue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Reznor7:
If I manually turn off WiFi, wait a minute or so, and then turn it on again, the toggle switch turns on and off multiple times in an attempt to turn WiFi back on. Anyone else noticed this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Mine works as expected.

Are you using stock kernel or any other mods? Are you restoring any system data when moving to cm12? Clean install or upgrading?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Reznor7:
Everything is stock. I restore WiFi and SMS. Never considered that as an issue. Might wipe it and see if that resolves the problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Yeah if your having a problem with wifi and your restoring something wifi related, I can almost guarantee it's your issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
I believe also you can just delete /data/misc/wifi and reboot to fix derpy wifi. Probably easier than clean install.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Reznor7:
Just tried that. Still gives me the weird toggle issue when manually turning WiFi off and on. Takes at least 20 seconds or so for WiFi to stick on. I'll see how tomorrow goes as I start adding more networks to the saved list.

I was having issues with the SMS the last time I tried.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bmeek:
OK, I seem to be maintaining solid connectivity now. After I changed the router's authentication from "mixed" WPA/WPA2 to straight WPA, cm12 couldn't connect with router until I chose to "forget" the network pass key and reconnect.

Conclusions? Hell, I don't know. I'm guessing that it's my router's mixed mode that's confusing cm12. Perhaps I'll switch the router back to confirm if this is a reproducible issue. In the meantime I'm glad that cm12 is fully-functional for me [emoji106] .
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
LP seems to be having Improved roaming Sensitivity. So changes need to be on Router and Phone both for that. Phone changes are as in Advanced Wireless Settings as Masta said.

Yep. Plus Choose One WiFi Band. Not keep switching between the two.

My Turn to ask Question. :) Are the Sprint users here, able to Access APNs yet ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bmeek:
I don't want to go too far off topic here in mastamoon's thread, and I agree that GAPPs have gotten way too bloated, but I'm a fan of Google search and a few other Google apps. What's wrong with PA gapps' modular "nano" or "pico" packages? Is it just the presence of the nefarious play services that bug you? Kernel wakelocks attributed to play services?

I believe TWRP 2.8.1.0 possibly has a issue remounting LP Partitions. Or so I heard.

CWM Nandroids can't be Restored by TWRP unless they are in compatible Mode. At least on LP that is.

Note - Remember LP does Store the Blobs Separately.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droidriven:
[MENTION=3639717]Perseus[/MENTION], I'm trying to use 2.8.5.0, I was on stock when I flashed TWRP but I restored back to stock from LP, could that be part of it? Should I do a system format then restore my stock then try TWRP?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
No, not that I know of.. Not entirely sure how to fix mount issues.. maybe somebody has some idea and will speak up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Here's another item I just remembered.

Would you possibly have the Nandroid Stored on External SD Card ? That you tried to restore on top of LP ? Also possibly When LP had booted, it had some interaction with the said Card? If so, here's the issue and Solution.

LP has specific Changes regarding External SD Cards. So what happens is that, TWRP refuses to play ball with LP touched SD Card. What you need to do is format your external SD Card to FAT32 on Windows. You will need to either Insert the Card into your PC's SD Card Slot or via Adapter. Format it, put the data back on the Card, Card in phone, boot to TWRP.

Yeah I know how torturous that is. :( I have learned to put a Postage sized SD Card Adapter in my Wallet from then on. :rolleyes:

I had CWM touch 6.0.4.5 I had a stock CWM created nandriod, I've been through KK to LP, I downloaded the new TWRP, I was on LP, I restored the CWM stock nandroid it restored fine then flashed TWRP so I could make a stock nandriod in TWRP so I could keep a stock backup for TWRP and do away with CWM then reflash LP so I would be back where I was at before with a stock backup but running LP, basically keep what I had just switching out recoveries, I'll try your suggestion and see how it goes.

Ahhhh......Masta, you remember me well!! Yes, because of my work, I CANNOT run ANY Google apps or services on my phone......The dislike of googles claws and love of LP comes all on its own!

I was hoping it was like early builds where gapps didn't stick, and you had to reinstall each flash! I would have been set. Install pico, PayPal, flash new nightly, profit! But alas, it can not be so simple... PayPal insists it needs Google Play Services to run. So I installed pico, killed all the Google crap running and tried to launch PayPal app. It complained about service not running, but after that, app ran fine. Now to find a way go remove 101% of what was installed by that gapps pico install and I would be set... I wonder if TI Backup would do an inline backup of PayPal that would let me drop it back in directly, but not via running installer???

Sounds good. Just format the SD Card to FAT32 before you do this though.
