Hi all just came on here to say I have swapped to Carbon from Omni. Carbon is that much more feature rich than Omni but not too bloated.

To all those having issues, I did a fresh install and only restored apps and there data via Titanium as well as SMS'. I have had no problems so far and battery life is far superior.

Been scoping out this rom for the past few weeks now and

its officially time for a GO!. I was a fan of this rom back when I

had My Nexus 4.

And to those having issues with video recording and camera, have

you guys tried out the new Google Camera ? Best camera App out there if you ask me

just saw in gerrit that wakelock blocker should be reverted in the next merge but cannot find any reason for this.

[MENTION=5197177]CarbonDev[/MENTION] can you tell us anything why - imo - this extremely helpful feature shall vanish ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] CarbonROM:
That is not merged, it is still an open commit. Some users were complaining that since adding wakelock blocker, there have been many more partial wakelocks that are causing heavy battery drain. We are just doing some tests and seeing if removing wakelock blocker fixes it, but we are not merging into the rom officially until we find some results.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ayoubij:
On betterbatterystats i have a new wakelock that i found recently called SCREEN_FROZEN in partial wakelocks. Any ideas?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Buckycasuals:
Wipe your settings and see what happens. Never believe bat settings. How is the stock cam in carbon working out for you m8?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] metalgearhathaway:
Cam fine as long as you use camfixed kernels :)

Wakelocks though, as per messages above, always something to sort :)

hmm, weird, on my side I am purely happy with wakelock blocker (2014-05-18 nightly - wiped cache+dalvik+system+preload before - with latest slim aio gapps and boeffla kernel without camfix) and have no other than usual wakelocks (with wlb I blocked this f* RILJ wl) leading to no additional batt drain at all - so maybe gui :p

[Galaxy S III Android Development] chrisgtl:
Got this ROM running on my girlfriends I9300 (o2, UK).

She is really very happy with it apart from the Mobile Broadcasts that constantly flood the phone - is there any way of stopping these? I have tried the obvious ways by unticking all the mobile broadcast options.

I have tried looking in Titanium Backup to freeze the mobile broadcast module but I can't find anything that relates to mobile broadcasts.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] XDAMaxe:
simply delete CellBroadcastReceiver.apk in the rom.zip (location: \system\app) before flashing or delete on phone in the resp. folder with root explorer (verify that it was really deleted) and restart. Done.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] chrisgtl:
Where do I find the resp. folder? I think I tried deleting the apk with root explorer before and it said denied. I will try again tonight once she finishes work.

Thanks!!!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] XDAMaxe:
the folder on the phone is also \system\app.

maybe you didn't enable r/w option in root explorer ? (default is r/o = read only)

Been On Carbon newest release for a day now and im starting to have bug issues now..

1. I got my 1st Random Restart This AM

2. got a few FC when using chrome and a few other apps

3. My timezone settings didn't change but, my time was set back 2 hours, WEIRD!

4. the Wi-Fi/ HotSpot turns on and at random times when in use

everything else was working great. Love the options i'm able to control overall for this ROM, Definitely In my TOP 3

Or anyone wanting to freeze apps, help with wakelocks the lazy way or in general improve battery with very little effort :)

If you have not already done and achieved, here is how I deal with things, they are simple and very effective:

1) Root app delete - Use this to disable/freeze any app, works a charm!

Done! Get here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=zsj.android.uninstall

2) Anyone suffering wakelocks who has little time on their hands to investigate, then Battery Doctor can paste over the cracks whilst you wait!

First going to the apps settings changing obvious preferences but also taking the time to omitt any apps that you do not want it to close on your behalf in the Whitelist section:

Now go back to the start screen and tap Smart Settings, configure the way you want it to work making sure that autokill apps when screen off is enabled so it works for you everytime you switch your screen off:

It's really effective! Get here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ijinshan.kbatterydoctor_en

You now have no more mobile broadcasts and your battery life has been extended :)

The button section in carbon fibres was updated, with new long press and double tap commands, you can allocate it there and as a result it was removed from Developer options. :good:

I don't have any issue from the ones you mentioned. did u come from a clean full wipe install?

are you using stock kernel? im using boeffla beta 3 with no issues.

We don't support the n7100 since we do not own the actual device.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ayoubij:
I think he meant if they can be used for i9300 since the two devices are very similar in hardware but the n7100 got official 4.4.2 rom because it has 2gb ram while i9300 dont.

Btw can you remove touchwake from the kernel. I heard it is the reason for wake up lag.

As you can see in gerrit the fixes for i9300 cam were merged 2014-05-19.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] metalgearhathaway:
The cam fix is for i9300, must look at the commit on CyanogenMod web site.

It should be the fix, size of the file is irrelevant, CyanogenMod tried open hal, but it simply did not work on all s3 models, so it looks to me like they have reverted to official source hal.

But for some reason or build did not occur yesterday :(

[Galaxy S III Android Development] metalgearhathaway:
The upgrade system nowadays keeps gapps in place
[Galaxy S III Android Development] XDAMaxe:
nope, you have to install gapps for kk separately (in your case you probably dirty flashed and therefore preinstalled gapps might have survived).

My recommendation is slim gapps

Cm is using propietary blobs since a few months ago

They did not merge it yesterday

And most of the fixes are the same present in rohan 's fix

Besides you seem to be confused as what boeffla kernel fixes. It fixes some memory allocation problems, not quality and features.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] metalgearhathaway:
Well it is a shame, for stability of operation I have rolled back to 15052014 as I know how to cure the issues with that one best :)

I'll be monitoring gerrit :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] bornlivedie:
They pushed a new commit to the CM gerrit fixing those memory allocation problems, so the kernel shouldn't be necessary as of today's nightly.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] metalgearhathaway:
The new nightly is up, I won't have a chance to look at it until tomorrow, but if anyone does try it and notes improvments to camera and video recording bugs then please report back :)

I'm thinking of installing version 1.7 stable android 4.3. Where can i find mini gapps? And boeffla kernel compatible? Is modem included?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Frag1le:
Running 20140522 with Boeffla 2.3 beta 3 and tried beta3 nocamfix and with both i still have the issue that the videorecorder shows a static image as soon as you stop recording a video.

I did some more battery testing and i'm really really liking Zzmoove - Battery Extreme Yank + sio + touchboost (800mhz). Without touchboost Battery Extreme Yank lags a lot because it doesn't scale up the CPU enough for it to be lag free in the first seconds after it idled a few seconds (when like reading a website and slowly scrolling once in a while). But with touchboost this really makes all the difference, it's lag/stutter free and really nice batterydrain (with wifi on) when sleeping.

What about video record issue and camera continous autofocus bug?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Frag1le:
Both issues still present with 20140523.

Meaning: you can't change autofocus mode, it's stuck on continuous and the static image in your videorecorder after you've recorded a video.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ayoubij:
I dont have that static image in videorecorder bug while using boeffla kernel cam fixed kernel
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Frag1le:
Im using the same kernel 2.3 beta 3 for omnirom. And i toggled every camera option there is to see if any option would change this camera behavior.

To clarify this is with the default camera and i simply start videorecorder mode and press record and after few seconds i stop recording and im left with the last frame of the recorded video as a static image instead of the live image.

Mode change to camera and back or swiping right and pressing back fixes this.

So you're really not experiencing this?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] metalgearhathaway:
[MENTION=4604352]Moster2[/MENTION] has made a fix for the camera on the cyanogen thread that resolves the such image issue, the video record issue is still there, but it does mean that one issue since the hal changes were made is resolves and puts me back on latest nightlies:)

fix preview/camera crash after stopping video record (android_device_samsung_i9300)

Looks Carbon build for today ran a little early for us S3 users, therefore we missed the following CM commit:

fix preview/camera crash after stopping video record (android_device_samsung_i9300)

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/64582/

That's what I am after! So I will watch Carbon Gerrit to see if it gets merged for tomorrows build :)

EDIT - I HAVE NOW TESTED, THE FROZEN SCREEN ISSUE IS RESOLVED, THE SPEED BETWEEN RECORDINGS IS ALSO IMPROVED, HOWEVER AFTER ON CM BUILD YOU CAN SELECT ANY FOCUS MODE!. BUT AFTER A FEW VIDEOS THE DEVICE WILL NO LONGER RECORD AS BEFORE, AT LEAST WE ARE GETTING SOMEWHERE THOUGH!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Frag1le:
Yeah me too, now for the stuck Continuous Auto Focus issue...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] metalgearhathaway:
Ah, balls forgot to mention, on CM build today you can manually select any focus mode! So hoping it comes across for us too! :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ayoubij:
Bro what do you mean it will no longer record as before? Does the boeffla kernel camera fix this?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] metalgearhathaway:
An issue for a few is that the video cam records, but after a while it will simply fail to start recording. Not everyone suffers it, but a fair few do. The Boeffla cam fixed and googymax2 kernels resolve that issue for us. Sadly with Boeffla you lose the zRam functionality. It's not a total dealbreaker, but it would be nice to be able a small zRam device to help the limited ram along a touch.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] whatsgood:
I thought you could use Zram in boeffla. Doesn't it have an option in the boeffla config app?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] metalgearhathaway:
It does, if you use the "no-camfix" version it works, but if the regular beta3 zRam is broken due to the implementation of the dirty cam fix.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] whatsgood:
Ohhh OK. My bad, didn't know that. That's a bummer then :(
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Frag1le:
Im not sure, but i don't think we'll need the Boeffla 2.3 beta3 kernel with camfix anymore when 20140526 nightly is uploaded.

The fix is now merged:

Hi all, installed this rom last night and so far it's the most stable KK rom ive tried, no FC issues or UI crashes I've been suffering with other roms, just doing a nandriod backup now then gonna try the boeffla kernel 2.2 with it, fingers crossed :good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] jammychap:
Yep Omni Boeffla works just fine, one question I do have is what settings should I try to give me decent battery life, I run lots of apps and have 3 e-mail addresses set to update every hour plus facebook etc, battery has been needing charging before the end of my 12 hour shift at work on most roms, I have played with greenify and deep sleep battery saver but not really seen much improvement :confused:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] XDAMaxe:
after flashing a new rom and kernel you have to let things settle.

and btw: use latest boeffla beta kernel which is nevertheless as stable as latest socalled but has all latest updates included. if your cam is stable use the no-camfix version (as i do - but I use ultimate stable neatrom camera so you better decide yourself which cam you prefer).

Then - after a day or two - you will be able to evaluate batt life (read governor informations - preferrably regarding batt life is zzmoove w yank extreme batt profile and zen io-scheduler - all in all a daily driver setting - except for gamers ...too laggy)

and last but not least: batt life depends an your personal usage (syncing all the time like you want to might make all efforts kinda useless... so cut off those all-time-sync-batt-drainers like pushmail, facebook etc and reduce google sync - otherwise you won't get that batt life you might admire others for....understand ?)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Frag1le:
I can confirm it fixes the bugged video preview but still the Focus Mode is stuck on 'Continuous picture'.

I never had any 'failed to record' issues.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sanketss84:
Can you elaborate more on neatrom camera ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] XDAMaxe:
it comes from Neatrom for i9300 and has no issues as far as I experience.

[MENTION=4095492]tarzan11[/MENTION] provided flashable zips for cam+lib+audio but they aren't there anymore (maybe because more and more devs use their own fixes, maybe sale included it in his rom so no need for single zips ...)

See attachment ...

Until today I always flashed cam+lib and then camfix but maybe extracting the resp. files from latest neatrom will do too - idk and I don't bother as long as 'my' solution works

remember that i9300 is a diva and not everything works for everyone; another solution for a camfix you may find here
