Im likely not going to do any more true public builds. I might drop one here or there if there is something messed up with official or something needs testing.. Will probably just drop it in the official thread when it gets made.

I just dont know how long ill have this phone so dont want to bother starting up just to drop it.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] johnston9234:
Just installed. Everything looks AMAZING.

So glad to have great developers on this forum.

UPDATE: Holy cow. I actually haven't been keeping up with the new Android updates that much, but Google did an awesome job with this UI. Looks so great.

Getting an error when flashing:

mount: failed to mount /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/userdata at /data: Device or resource busy
umount of /data failed (-1): Device or resource busy

Edit: Should note that it is booting and there is no error that I can see.

Also, is it a problem restoring titanium backups when going to ART?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sjpritch25:
I restored fine, but you can't restore with data.

CM12:

Thanks so much!

Noticed a few things though:

1) root zip flash failed, however CWM recovery "noticed" root not enabled, and enabled it for me, so I'm fine there.

2) home button doesn't wake the device, haven't found a workaround yet, after diving into the settings.

3) Question: will we be able to update OTA in About section in settings when new builds are pushed out?

Data showed as being connected right away for me, but I changed from "global" to LTE to be safe.

Again, many thanks mastamoon!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SDQB17:
I have a quick question, I have always only had to do ( so far ) wipe data and cache thru RM, to do a full system wipe and factory reset, is it better to do that and THEN download these 2 files and install them? Only reason I ask is rom manager is having trouble mounting my ext sd card for some reason, and if I do a full wipe I wont have the 2 files accessible via the sd card..( thru recovery).( Im tired and worked 13 hrs today so I hope this makes a lick of sense...lol) Oh and Thanks Masta!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XdrummerXboy:
Do you have an External SD card? I always place them on there, then I can wipe anything and everything I need to

Also, if you do a full wipe, you won't have any access to the operating system to download the files and place them onto your internal SD, unless you ADB them (I think that's possible via ADB).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SDQB17:
edit...I think I got it, I could not move the 2 files onto my ext sd card for some weird reason, but I tried ZA archiver and was able to do it. And looks like I can access the card thru recovery now, couldntt before. Dont know what was going on honestly. Maybe a ghost?

Awesome, thanks masta. Looks beautiful :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ef-civic:
New phone with a new carrier? I did the preorder on this phone but its probably time to start looking for another phone and possibly new carrier. Hate to give up on this phone though, probably one of the betters ones i've had. I would like to keep up with CM12 on this phone too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Id like to not leave VZW because of the coverage, but locked down phones make baby jesus cry. I thought I was a go on the Nexus6, but want to fondle one first. Might wait to see what the next OnePlus One looks like... really not sure.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ef-civic:
I agree. Nexus 6 does look nice. Oneplus looks too too along with the moto x, 2nd gen.

Another question, you used the links and few pages back to work on the cm ROMs correct? So how difficult this to do? I'm able to get around Linux OK, but not like windows.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Its not 64 bit. So Not going to be my next one. Yeah 1+2 is looking good.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Setting up and running builds is very easy. There are tons of how to build guides on xda and on the web. All it takes is time. Syncing the code takes forever.. but after thats done its a few commands and boom, got yourself a build. Then you have to start figuring out how to cherry-pick commits put up for testing and stuff like that. Can get a bit dicey there sometimes but its nothing a little googling cant get you through usually.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Here is another build for you guys..

http://mastamoon.truelinux.net/ROMs/CM12.x/cm-12-20141126-UNOFFICIAL-d2vzw.zip
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] matt_man:
Just mentioning this for other Straight Talk users. I tried this unofficial CM12 build on my SCH-S986-C and have no data or voice signal all I get is a no SIM icon. Everything else besides camera seems real slick though. Thanks for giving us a glimpse of what LP will be like on this phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XdrummerXboy:
Have a change log by chance?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Shakes The AssClown:
Haven't flashed the latest build but the location icon stays on a lot. Charging is slow too. However awesome job!!☺
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jehelmer:
You guys are awesome!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kidhudi:
i will try to dirty the new zip.

i will let you know.

ps. thanks for the tuts i am repo-syncing cm12 right now.. man it takes forever :)

i will let you know how i do
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Shakes The AssClown:
Flashed the new build...camera still borked. Can't connect.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Remove the name of the file from the url and add changelogs to see the changelog. Doesn't show you all the stuff that has changed on CM's side, just my cherrypicks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Location icon is a known issue, it's not actually causing any problems though.

Mine charges from almost empty to full in less than 2 hours. According to the lockscreen timer anyway.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
I'll post a "it's fixed" when it's fixed so the thread isn't full of "it's broke" posts.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
BTW, I found bluetooth to be derpy on this build.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] matt_man:
I cut down an old sim card and now I have working voice and data. MMS works with hangouts but not the default SMS app. Gesture typing and GPS don't work. I'll try out the newer build tomorrow.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
You can see the things that get merged here. http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/q/status:merged+branch:cm-12.0+-message:translation,n,z

Once cm12 gets released, the changelog website should be updated for easier viewing of changes per device.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Please make sure you add a *straight talk* note to your posts since this is primarily a Verizon based rom. Gps and mms work fine as far as I know on VZW. Don't want anybody getting confused.

Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pastapie:
I'm not getting GPS locating as seen in the attached jpg running GPS Status. Although it does locate where I'm at. When I click on navigation I get "gps signal is lost" I'm just asking is this just me? Thanks for the build [MENTION=2963287]mastamoon[/MENTION]

Works awesome here.

You on ne1 modem? On VZW?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pastapie:
Yep! Should I reflash the modem?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TokedUp:
Thanks for the new build!

On another note I've been making my rounds about a camera fix since cm12 was a thing for us. I was contacted by another XDA user with this:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dmginc:
Can you make an unofficial Masta CM12 thread? People who don't read back far enough might think we're still talking Cm11 here.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TokedUp:
Here's a Chrome fix if anyone has issues:

Open chrome://flags, search for GPU,

find "Enable GPU rasterization", Disable it.

Then chrome will be fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Tybo611:
I know a few people have said they have installed apps. Has anyone run into the issue or not being able to install apps via play store. Getting error "-505". A quick google search shows some permission was left behind and not fully removed when I upgraded. Anyone else seen this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XdrummerXboy:
I got that trying to install JRummy ROM Toolbox

---------- Post added at 02:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:48 PM ----------

What is the issue with chrome?

Seems to be working fine for me, I might be using beta, not sure
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Tybo611:
Same, were you able to find a way around it. I've tried ADB uninstall methods that have worked for other phones and other methods, but nothing has worked.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jehelmer:
Is voice search broke on 1126 for anyone else?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ffeingol:
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but how did you get on the NE1 modem? Everything that I've read (so I'm guessing I'm missing something) says that flackhign back to NE1 will lock the bootloader "forever".

TIA
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SDQB17:
I am very pleased with this! Battery charges fine, also I worked all day ( 11 hrs) and have 68% battery left !! I usually come home with around 40 %. My camera also works, have not tried vid. This is just amazingly smooth. I may not even update this for awhile, also I had no problem getting apps downloaded from play store.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
There is a modem only zip in the OP. This won't lock your boot loader.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Tybo611:
Rom Toolbox pro download error

For the issue with Rom Toolbox pro, uninstall terminal emulator and restart phone. Installing from play store should work now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SDQB17:
One other thing I have noticed is it does not seem to calculate the storage correctly. It shows my internal storage just the same as it was before I did a clean wipe and reset. External is correct...but the other one shows I only have 3 gb free...and I hardly installed any apps after installing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dmginc:
On CM11 or CM12?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kidhudi:
me too. i dirty flashed it though so that was probably what did it. i am back on the first build. i am happy with it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dmginc:
mount: failed to mount /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc. 1 /by-name/userdata at /data: Device or resource busy.
script succeeded: result was [0.200000]
Install from sdcard complete.

Any idea what that means?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jehelmer:
I dirty flashed rom and gapps again and now everything is working. It took a few reboots to get my calendars to sync but this is running incredibly well. Pretty sure my phone likes this better than CM11. :D

---------- Post added at 08:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:01 PM ----------

I was referring to cm12. Fixed now though
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] IaKnightHawke:
I had it too. Do not panic, just wait and the progress bar will continue. Then install the gapps as instructed. Should boot fine afterwords. Gary
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
I heard this was due to trying to mount data twice during the install or something to that effect. No worries.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dmginc:
Ah okay. Booted up just fine. No fix for the home button not waking up the phone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MPTP:
I just wanted to say thank you masta for this early CM 12 build. I've never had any real success with any 4.4+ ROM but this works surprisingly well. I tend to loss data after a reboot, swiping in SwiftKey causes a reboot, issues writing to external SD even with root, and of course the camera issues but everything else is great.

The camera issues (including with Open Camera) are a deal breaker as far as being a dd but it is reassuring to know that this phone is certainly due for a solid lollipop build.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Just hasn't been rolled out yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
I swiped this whole reply with SwiftKey with no reboots.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dmginc:
Ah poopy. But thanks as always! Hopefully I'll see you on the Droid Turbo boards here soon! Wink wink nudge nudge.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] IaKnightHawke:
No fair tampering with our guy! lol CM 12 build working well for me. Thanks Masta! Gary
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dmginc:
Fixing the home button should be pretty straight forward. There's a bunch of key mapping files under /system/usr/keylayout...we just need to figure out what the home buttons key # is and which of those files we need to edit to set it as a key that wakes the phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] EGill42:
Is anyone else having problems mounting their SD Card with CM 12? I can't believe we already have a ROM to play with. Honestly, having ROMs to play with is more to me than newer hardware, which is why I am choosing to stay with my GS3 for the time being.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Chris123NT:
I just ran a build for my s4 and got the same thing, battery stats are boned, and this is on the stock CM kernel, looking into it now to figure out WTF this is happening.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rockingondrums:
Flashing on the previous version (2.6.3.0) will definitely fail. To fastboot!

Edit: Whoops, not fastboot. To Odin!

---------- Post added at 11:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:31 PM ----------

Twatter? Is that a new kind of dating app? :laugh::highfive:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Div033:
No. They really won't help much if at all. Samsung's kernel is way too different from the CM kernel for anything they've done to be of any use. This has been the case every time Samsung has put out a new version for our phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zachf714:
I think maybe we needed the healthd change that just got merged last night.. Freaking tf docks lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Chris123NT:
Yeah, i figured it out, lol I derped :P
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jaegermeiste:
Android Runtime

Just wanted to note that I've been running ART since last night (Mastamoon's 12/18 nightly) with no issues, and it is noticeably faster and gentler on my battery. I had previously tried to switch about a week after the dawn of CM11 and got stuck at the boot animation. Last night I switched with ~160 apps installed, dirty, and it took about 20 minutes to compile the apps (not counting the nandroid I made prior to switching). Caveat: scary developer option, probably don't post bug reports about ART stuff yet, YMMV, make a backup, etc. etc.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AdMire:
Is is me or does the camera seem to take grainy pictures? Before it almost didn't even focus, it just took them and they looked great. Now it has to focus and it's grainy no matter how steady I hold the camera. It's weird.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bmeek:
Hmm... Only the context is stealthy :).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] GatorsUF:
Does anyone know if Bluetooth audio works on this ROM? Seems the only 4.4 ROM I have had success with is hellfire, but the battery life is terrible.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] elreydenj:
I agree, the options to have auto focus or continuous focus and the like are not present. It would be great if they could be added. I prefer that it not continue to focus and only focus itself upon pressing the button.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Ive used both A2DP streaming and Hands Free Calling... both function for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fluffman86:
Playing Ingress, the audio is really sketchy. The voice will start talking normally, then speed up and talk incomprehensibly fast, then other sound effects will glitch. This has been a problem in all of the KK builds I've tested on my GS3, but it works fine on the official CyanogenMod Nexus 7 (grouper) Kit Kat builds.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
try the lpa.decode=false build prop hack and see if it clears up for you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fluffman86:
Much better. Thank you!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xyrcncp:
Planning in taking the KK plunge today from your 10.2 ROM. Have you tried A2DP streaming and then taking a phone call? In 10.2, after the call was done, the audio would resume as normal, but my phone would lock itself in the "end call" screen.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
No I haven't had that happen yet. Rarely get phone calls while in the car.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jalewis:
I'm still running 10.2 and haven't seen that issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AdMire:
Glad I'm not the only one. Is that an option from CM themselves in the ROM or is that something that has to be flashed separately?

Edit: I just flashed this and it seems to be like the old good camera from CM10.2. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=44683620&postcount=1

I also put .bak on the original camera so I didn't have two.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xyrcncp:
Weird. I get it every single time I'm streaming in my car and get a call and I'm on the last 10.2 daily from masta (11/12) stock kernel. Oh well, I'll probably go to KK tonight and check it out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] duarian:
Getting great battery life on this build, maybe not as good as TW but that's to be expected. Everything works great (Even the 4.4 dialer I flashed).

Only issue I have is the camera in low light pictures being messed up, but thats not something we can fix. Thanks for the builds masta!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dmginc:
Also, is swype not working using the AOSP keyboard yet? Or is that just me?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Shakes The AssClown:
Me too
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jehelmer:
I had problems with my 64gb card... But my backup 32gb works fine....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] EGill42:
Nooooooo!!!! But I just bought an amazing awesome super great 64GB card! Hopefully fixes are on the way soon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
Not that simple.. The framework part isn't there. A key mapping would have been done already.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mikejr83:
Anyone having problems with mobile data? The LP build is nice but it lost mobile data and won't come back.

Other things (not nitpicking, I know this is an early unofficial release):

* A lot of the settings from CM10/11.x haven't been migrated.

* No quite hours :(

* No configuration of the pull down buttons.

* Bluetooth/AndroidWear wonkiness (could just be wear, thoughl

* Is it me or does NFC not always want to work?

I was really scraping for some stuff to list! That just shows how awesome things have come in the dev community.

Thanks masta for the fix. I don't know what it's like to be a junky but the closest I can think is waiting for the next major release of CM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thelangosta:
Are you talking about the new Google keyboard? Yeah I noticed that it's not swyping on our nexus 7 on lollipop. Kind of frustrating once you are used doing it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mikejr83:
My N7 swipes fine. I also flashed the whole image from Google so it did act like I took it right out of the box.

The keyboard for the default install of CM12 didn't have swiping and I thought it wasn't enabled through a setting or something but I couldn't find one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thelangosta:
About the quiet hours in your previous post. I think you'll find similar in settings>sound and notifications>interruptions>go to downtime/days. That might work for you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TokedUp:
FWIW my 64gb memory card works fine on CM12.

Anyone else getting the feeling like there's new life in this phone? Everything seems better (except camera obviously), my screen seems more crisp, my music sounds way better using same headphones I always do, battery life has improved, charging time is shorter, apps load quicker, multitasking is way smoother, signal seems stronger (more bars shown at least), WiFi connects faster. Could this be due to using ART? Are we even using ART? I don't see an option for it so I'm guessing we are.

I was just about to upgrade my phone but tbh I might just upgrade phone and sell it and stick with my trusty S3. Thanks masta! If I make any money selling a phone I'll def give u ur share. Maybe I'll buy an iPhone just for giggles.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dmginc:
Damn. It's never as easy as i hope. =(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XdrummerXboy:
I looked into it a bit, and just came across probably the same sites you did. I didn't pursue it any further, haha.

Android Keyboard swipe didn't work for me so I downloaded google keyboard (essentially the same) and it works well!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dmginc:
Why don't notifications just go nicely in the top bar anymore? It's so obnoxious to keep swiping them away.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XdrummerXboy:
What do you mean?

You can still swipe them away or click the clear all button.

My main annoyance with it is that I'm used to having the quick settings swipe on the left since I'm right handed (I don't want to access it on accident), but I couldn't find the setting for it yet to move it to the other side. Now I'm always swiping down to what I think is notifications, but instead is quick settings. Then I have to swipe up, THEN swipe away notifications I don't want.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ffeingol:
First and foremost, thanks for the great ROM. I flashed the latest Lollipop version this afternoon and so far it's working great. I have two small issues:

1) GPS does seem to be working now (I did flash the NE1 modem) but it's really slow to lock. I just used my GPS test program and it took over a minute to lock. I'll be driving tomorrow so I can do more test.

2) I can't get any camera to work. I tried the Google one from the play store, but it says 'can't connect' also.

On the GPS side, I still have an (old) bluetooth GPS 'puck'. Is it still possible to use that as the GPS device instead of the built in GPS? I used it a long (long) time ago with a Blackberry and it just worked better to have the puck way up on the dash so it had better line of sight. Found an app for this.

Thanks again
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] samsgun357:
Yes LP is using ART, dalvik is gone

Watch, as I combine all the juice from my mind...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dmginc:
Yah that's annoying too. I am referring to the popup that comes up now as opposed to the scrolling text that used to be in the top bar.
