Just discovered some may have problems calling with B20 above ie you've got a tablet! Will be fixed in the next build tomorrow .... (this is a development/testing thread you know) ;)

edit. No worry as B19 works really awesome meanwhile :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] jm1973:
Hi. I just installed build 20.

It looks great and is very fast, but I am not getting any service on my phone.

It's the first time I have used this ROM. Should I just roll back to a previous version, or is there a fix?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xeizo:
Yes, it is buggy, thats why I removed it. Use B19 instead! :D

The fix will be B21, probably in ca 10 hours ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] jm1973:
I just rolled back to build 19 and problem solved!

Thanks for all the hard work!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Shiron:
Just tried your Rom for the last 2 days and I have the same Problem. Just flashed B19 and I am still not getting any GPS signal. With other Roms it works just fine.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xeizo:
It works for me, but something may not be 100% right and that is to be expected as it is built from daily nightlies, I can just say wait for the next build! :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] jm1973:
What kind of battery life are you guys getting with this mod?

For some reason cLock seems to account for about 1/3 of the battery usage.

Is this normal?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xeizo:
Certainly not normal, I have great battery, screen is like 40-50% and Android OS is second. Like it should be. Something isn't right with your config!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] jm1973:
Any ideas?

I've got cLock 36%, Google services 33%, then screen 18% and Android system 4%.

I did a fresh install with build 19 and the gapps package supplied in the OP.

You think I should flash again maybe?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xeizo:
Could it be the cLock weather widget is searching for your location? Enable Google places properly, and see to it that cLock finds your location, or set a static location in it's properties ...

edit. also Google play services was updated yesterday from Google, a lot of stuff depends on it, maybe you should see to it that you have a few of the key Google apps installed and upgraded to the latest versions. Remember this is Kit Kat and is more dependent on Google services than ever!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xeizo:
B21 is here, hopefully with the "cannot find a telephone network" issue from the removed B20-build solved. We'll see ;)

**REMOVED - IS BOOT LOOPING!**

Changelog:

[Galaxy S III Android Development] xeizo:
B21 was a no-go, the first one out of 58 builds that have boot looped on me, can't tell right now what the problem is but if it is because of some larger code changes from Cyanogen Mod we may have to wait it out :eek:

Meanwhile, as always - lately - it seems, use B19 since it still works great! :good:

edit. When development goes this way, like a total halt, one can't press enough on the issue on how very important it is to always always have Nandroid backups on the ext sdcard! I always have :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mbalun:
is it just me or the B21 goes to boot up and doesn't boot up actually, just says on CM logo with arrow spinning araund the head :)

edit : missed the two last posts
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xeizo:
LoL it happens! Made me laugh anyway ;):good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] jm1973:
By google places, do you mean google maps? Sorry if that's a stupid question. In any case, I have location turned on, and cLock is finding my location OK. It's set to sync every 60 minutes, but cLock and google services are still eating most of my battery.

I'm going to try downloading some of the main google apps and see if that helps. I'll report back.

---------- Post added at 12:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:03 AM ----------

The google apps seem to be installed and up-to-date.

I'm going to try wiping and reflashing rom. I wont install any apps though (apart from gapps) and see how it works then.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mbalun:
B19 for me has problem with copilot it says no GPS fix. The g.maps works fine and looks my position very fast however
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xeizo:
Could it be that Copilot has problems with Kit Kat in general? Just a guess ...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mbalun:
some users on kitkat report that, when you start a navigation software (or any app making use of the GPS signal),go to the setting and switch the GPS signal off and back on. Afterwards you will have a perfect working signal as long as you do not start another app.

now this doesnt work with me, also the GPS status app reeds the giro and acelerometer going nuts ( i did calibrate the device ) and the compas is also rotating unnormaly and switches up to 180°angle
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DjoeN:
Same problems, also when testing my GPS, the whole trip it turned on and off (mostly off):

Like i have signal, 3 seconds, then no signal for a minute, back signal, then no signal again, keeps going that way

That's in Waze, Maps, TomTom.

So i brought back my phone to Stock Sammy firmware, rooted again and flashed custom recovery again, flashed a clean B19, still same problem;

Placed back my B16 nandroid, that used to work fine, same problem to :/

Reverted back to my Unofficial Elelinux AOKP nandroid everythings work perfect.

(Maybe SmartDroid should consider bringing out a second version of stock KitKat based on AOKP, 2 KitKat versions, CM11 based and AOKP based, like Elelinux does ;) (less frequent updated, but more stable in my opinion))
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mbalun:
GPS issues as I reed are down to google and KITKAT version of android, and also google / carrier issues
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SkywalkerZ:
Within a few days time i will have my self an updated computer(finally!) which means i will be helping [MENTION=5523972]xeizo[/MENTION] with AOSP stuff(as my current 2004 pc with xp just cant control git) and in future v can make our own repo and add commits and stuff along with [MENTION=5105831]ricky310711[/MENTION]!

But yeah if this GPS issue remains (which with updated sources each day i am sure it will be fixed) then v can decide for an alternative source !

---------- Post added at 10:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:44 PM ----------

Have you got camera fc?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xeizo:
I only took a few pictures, no fc, dirty install over B22. However they have problems with the Camera in the official nightly too, so it is just to wait for better code ...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] taran2l:
I installed dirty on b22. Camera fc is there.. Restored backup and wait for new version
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mbalun:

it is essential for me as I do lot of driving to unknown places.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] DjoeN:
For me, GPS still bogus (clean b23 install) :/
[Galaxy S III Android Development] taran2l:

[Galaxy S III Android Development] PacketJ:
Stock camera is not working in version B23 but you can install different camera app. I'm using the Lenovo one and it works great.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xeizo:
Just wondering how many of you is using ART? Why I am asking is reports suggests its still rather buggy with several apps, for myself I've only been running Dalvik the last couple of weeks and I can't really say it's any slower ... what I mean is it may be a little too early to really start using ART :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] PacketJ:
Still sticking with dalvik because of xposed framework.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xeizo:
Thanks, btw I just saw CM have made some fixes to the Camera(again) hopefully it will work alright in the next build! :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DjoeN:
Tried ART, but returned to Dalvik, i see no benefit for ART yet; Also Xposed still not ART compatible, so Dalvik is the way to go now

[Galaxy S III Android Development] xeizo:
No, the camcorder is pretty stone dead, but the still Camera looks to be working just fine. Just wait for another build! :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DjoeN:
- Camera, taking pictures works fine, sometimes it just freezes, then you need to close and start again

- Camera, taking panoramic picture works fine, so far no lock-ups or fc

- Camera, recording fc the app

- Battery life is still great

- Rom is fast

- GPS, still issues, not finding any sats in navigation/maps and GPS Status can't find any sats to :/

For my daily use, i still use AOKP unofficial by Elelinux, SmartDroid is a great rom, just the GPS issues keeps me from using it daily, cause i'm very often in need of it.

Keep up the great work on improving CM11!

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kalda01:
GPS also works fine with AD 2.3.9
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xeizo:
A temporary solution for the Camera is to use Camera KK from Playstore, it records video without any problems! :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xeizo:
I kept todays build as internal because the camcorder while not crashing instead doesn't start to record, at all, I tried three different cameras and cleared app config/cache etc but no camrecording :silly:

All else seem to work ok, but I will wait for next build being built to see if it's worthy of a release ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xeizo:
A new build today, Camcorder is still gimped, but normal Camera works pretty good as does everything else afaik!

There is an easy way to solve the Camcorder issue, just install Banks GApps Standard which includes the Google Camera. It replaces the CM Camera as default and it's Camcorder works pretty flawless. Get if from here

Another way to get a fully working Camcorder, and some nice extras as well, is to install BSDgeek_Jake:s modded Lenovo Super Camera;

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2655322

A ready made zip for installing from recovery is here

Both options above are great alternatives for your Camera-needs :good: Eventually the CM Camera will start working again ...

Returned to stock Samsung firmware (reset counter, flash stock kernel, full wipe, reinstall latest Samsung ROM with Odin, rebooted andere configured, rooted again with Odin, etc... ) after that i did a clean installatie, stille no GPS signal.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xeizo:
I think it's somehow related to GApps, I always install a good portion of the Google software stack and I've never had any problem with the GPS. I guess that in 4.4.2 GPS is dependent on the GApps, and there's also several agreement dialogues you have to go through and accept for the Google "places" aka "GPS" services to work correct.

Try to install Banks GApps Standard, which includes all necessary GApps, and accept all the Google "tracking" dialogoues to see if it helps!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xeizo:
I did a new build, V31, and tested it with a clean install("factory reset"). Only thing installed from recovery before rebooting was the latest Banks GApps Minimal from 20140320.

Btw, a little tip, a few days ago Google Play Music was activated in my country. I like it, lots of good music ie in the progressive rock subgenre :good: BUT, usually I listen to Spotify when I want to relax and listen to music and Spotify keeps the phone alive which means I get no stutter in the sound when the lockscreen is activated and the screen is off.

But during using Google Play Music for the same type of listening deep sleep kicks in and the sound stutters, very annoying, but there was an easy solution: just use Trickster Mod for setting min frequency to 400MHz and the sound becomes rock solid! I listened to the whole Pink Floyd The Wall album yesterday, the sound was really awesome using my Sony MDR-ZX700 cans with the bass/extreme setting in DSP Manager, and no stutter! :cool:

[Galaxy S III Android Development] xeizo:
I haven't tested his latest kernels but from browssing other threads I could do a qualified guess that Boefflas latest non-Omni beta-kernel should work excellent! Also, Boeffla-Config is a very good kernel tool, so Boeffla is what I say :D

Personally I need not to do any more config than what can be done in Trickster and V4A FX so I skip the custom kernel stuff, enough work keeping up with my own versions :p

Sorry i think you mentioned in the known bugs section.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xeizo:
Yes, Devils recovery is getting too old since he doesnt update it anymore. A way around it is to install each in Philz Touch and do nandroid backups, and then back to Devil and restore each from backup to respective filesystem. But then another problem is Devils kernel is getting old too, so it may not work ...

Strange problem

Hi. First thanks for a great ROM. I've been using build 19 for maybe a month or so with no issues.

However a couple of weeks ago I stopped being able to send or receive texts or calls. When people ring me they would hear a ring tone and eventually get my voicemail, but my phone didn't ring. Also if I tried to ring someone it would not connect and when I tried to hang up it would stay frozen at the 'hanging up' screen until I rebooted.

At the time EE were having metwork problems so I assumed it was that, and after a couple of days normal functionality returned.

However, the same thing has been happening intermittently for the last week or so.

I have swapped my SIM into another S3 and I can send/receive texts and calls OK. I have also put a friends SIM into my S3 and I can dial/text OK from there to, which seemed to rule out the handset, the SIM, the network and the ROM. However when I put my SIM card back in my phone, although I can make calls again I still cannot send or receive texts.

I have rolled back to stock ROM and now I can send texts again.

I am totally confused by what is going on as all the components (SIM, handset, network) seem to work when swapped out.

IS this an issue any of you guys have come across before?

Sorry for long rant and thanks in advance for any help.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xeizo:
Thanks! Sorry for your issues, but as this is nightlies some things are sure to be broken, on the flip side so does most things get fixed in later builds :D

I do this mostly for the thrill of running the latest software available for my device, if this is a good or a bad thing is a personal decision ;)
