[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] griz.droidx:
I've tried DKP, KT, and BMS. All seems to work, but I still had the issues I described. I tried the build dated the 18th and Newest at the time or maybe it was 19th, straight from sourcefroge to my pc first, then to my phone. Just like always. I then wipe cache and data, and format system. The phone boots and comes to the wizard, once out of that the phone acts quircky. I don't know how to describe it. For example, when I go into an app, any app, and try to do something, it's as if the app resets itself back to the point where I was before or as if it had just opened.

Using playstore to try to find another keyboard and a filemanager, I begin typing after clicking the magnifing glass to search and if I don't type fast or make a mistake and hit back space, then the app goes back to it's main screen as if I'd just opened it. When I try to enter my wifi password I have to do this fast and correct the first time, if I'm too slow the keyboard disappears and I have to start over, same deal if I use the wizard to setup google (which I hate to do but I figured what the hell), I can be typing in my password and all of a sudden it blanks out the password. If I don't catch it fast enough, I'll blank out the username too. I don't know whats up why some people have zero issues and I do. I swear, I install roms all day several times a day, both aosp and tw for testing and comparison. I want to use nameless as my dd because it has the feature set I want in a rom.

Download speed only in the status bar,

Theme with T-mo theme engine

customizable hardware buttons ala slim,

and more but these are the big and main ones.

I just really wish I could use the rom. I'll try it again, this time I'll try to get a log cat if possible. As screwy as it acts I don't know if it'll be possible or not.

Is there anything at all that anyone can think of that could be causeing my issues.

BTW, on my last try I used the latest pa gapps, on the try before that I used the recommended banks gapps minimumal gapps or micro , the smallest one.

Thanks for the rom and continued development anyway, I just hope I can get it working on my phone. Again, I have no issues installing any other AOSP roms, Slim, Beanstalk, Carbon, Liquid, and TW too. MOAR, Alliance, Clean, Wicked. I'm a flashaholic. Done it a zillion times, but this one is throwing me for a loop. Sorry this is sloppy, I'm going outside to enjoy the nice weather and do some yard work.

Thanks again to the devs and the community for your support both to me and everyone else.

I am getting the no APN specified for the device error. It just started after being on this ROM for the last week. Any suggestions on how to fix?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] griz.droidx:
Just got it running, after several tries. Still had the same issues as before where I had to type in my wifi passwords fast to keep them from being blanked out. But at least I finally have another working installation. And I'm using the kt kernel after a dalvik wipe. yay.

Thanks devs.

Edit: Re-installed again because this installation was still acting up. I downloaded 03-20-14, and once again, wiped cache/data formated system, then, after installing the rom, pa gapps, and kt kernel (I've used this kernel on other roms with no issues), I wiped data/cache once again for good measure (no reason to do this really once it's wiped, it should be wiped). Reboot. Go through as little of the wizard as I possibly can, didn't enter google info because I ddin't want it automagically downloading all the apps I've ever installed. I entered my wifi password in a hurry. Then proceded to setup my google account. Here's where I first started to notice the same quirkiness. I entered my username, and just as I was about to enter my password, the keyboard disappeared and my username was gone. So I re-entered my username, as fast as possible, and clicked in the password box and entered my password as fast as possible and clicked the arrow or okay or whatever. Success!.

I continue setting stuff up.. Went to lockscreen settings and when I was selecting a custom lockscreen icon, as I was scrolling through the stock gallery, I would get most of the way over through all my images and what not, then it would take me back to the beginning of the gallery all of a sudden. I hurried this time to the folder of icons I was looking for, then again hurrying to find the icon I was looking for, it again takes me back to the beginning of the folder I was in. These types of issues are what have plagued me from the beginning of every install and version I've tried. I just wanted to let someone know because I love the rom, it has the features I want, and only the features I want. And It's a hard to find such a combination among all the roms out there, I love slim, but it doesn't have T-Mo themeing, Carbon and Liquid have too much options, and their network speed shows upload and download when I only need download, Upload is nice to see, but when they're stacked like that you they're hard to see with my old eyes without my glasses.

Anyway, if anyone has any suggestions please let me know. I also enable debugging in dev options to use TiBu, and set root to apps and adb. I change the speed fo the animations to anywhere from .75 to .50. Besides setting up the rest of the options in the rom, I haven't really done anything else to it.

Thanks again for the rom, I just wish I could figure out what was causing those issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] scott45333:
I have been running this rom for over a week now, and I must say, it is great. Tested with BMS, DKP and Quantum kernels. Getting excellent battery life and it is smooth no matter what I throw at it. I did have a few random reboots, but other than that it has been flawless. Thank you for all your hard work on this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] griz.droidx:
Man, I really love this rom.. I can't say enough about the combination of features I think my issues may have to do with the android keyboard. I'm going to try disabling the android keyboard and using something else for now. Anywho. I never get reboots, or FC's or anything like that. Just the quirkiness I've described in previous posts. Like the deal when I tried to add a picture to a mms, as soon as the picture was added and I started to type a small message, it basically started over with a new message. This happens all the time, but I've noticed that it's mainly when using the android keyboard. Strange. But, if it works fine without it, I can deal without it.

Thanks guys for releaseing your rom for this device.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] griz.droidx:
Okay, Now I'm on a clean install of 03-23, and now I'm thinking my issue may have been caused by the KT kernel. But I swear I think I had the issue without the KT kernel installed because I know I tried installing a prior build using the stock kernel, just to see if KT wasn't playing well with the rom. Anyway, last night's install wen't great, no keyboard issues, or funny stuff.. ha ha ha.. I took a logcat when I was having the issues but I don't know what I'm looking at. I'm going to upload it to my dropbox for the maintainer to take a peek at if he/she wishes.

Thanks for the great rom.

The logcat was about 5.5MB. This doesn't seem right. I didn't know what part the dev's needed so I zipped it up and put it in my dropbox here https://db.tt/BUZgAXFB

The unzipped version is here in case the zipped one is screwed up somehow. https://db.tt/Jy2CI3Jh

I've never been this persistent in trying to get a rom to work before. I used Slim (JB), and Beanstalk and Slim (KK) as my DD roms for ever but they now lack a few "features" I'm looking for and I didn't want to resort to xposed to get them as seamless as it seemed to be.

If I were to request one feature, it would be the ability to shorten the time it takes to kill an app using the back button. MIUI had this a long time ago back on my DX, and Gravitybox has it in Xposed. But again, I don't want to use Xposed I don't know why, because it does work very well, I just don't want to add something else to the equation. If it gets added great if not, I still love the rom and appreciate the builds for the d2lte's.

I just used the updater to install the latest version(4/2) from (3/20) and now have the no apn bug.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mbarry55:
Just flashed this for the first time and am loving it. Using dkp kernel and have great battery so far, and no issues. Lots of features. Gonna be using this for awhile :)

Surprised this ROM is not getting more attention here.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mbarry55:
How do I get rid of the "Roaming Indicator Off" on my notification shade/lockscreen?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] griz.droidx:
I agree. This ROM has the best combination of features without going over the top. I had a few issues on my last run but I'm back to give it another go. It's freaking awesome!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] matalo:
Everything OK? Been real quiet and no updates the past couple days.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thelangosta:
Sometimes a quiet thread is a good thread because it means there are no issues to complain about. Plus it's Easter weekend and I'm guessing people are traveling.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mbarry55:
Still loving it. Though I did notice no new builds since 4/16
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] griz.droidx:
They take a break occasionally from builds for whatever reason. As you might or might not have noticed builds started back on 04-22. This build is stellar. No more random reboots for me. I was getting a few of those on my last run. I don't want to attribute it to the rom, could have been me using voltages that were too low for the rom or my device. I was using kt kernel. Which I usually have no trouble with.

This time I'm going back to dkp, which seemed to give me fits on early builds. I don't know why. But This build coupled with dkp has been nothing short of awesome! I had trouble with wakelocks and battery life on previous builds. Not on this one. I intentionally left it unplugged while sleeping and not using the phone just to see how things would go. Before I plugged back in I was at 23 hours of use, 45min screen time, and not a lot of use otherwise, I ended up with about 55 percent left before I put it back on charge. I was mainly checking deep sleep. Even with my weather app set to one hour updates (I usually use 4 hours or so), and with my news app updating perodically, playing some music with apollo for about two hours with screen off, the battery held up excellent. I was beginning to thing my battery was going bad. But I installed my old DD in the time between nightlies, and battery was good there, so it had to be the rom or something I had done.

Anyway, if you haven't given this rom/team a try I'd highly suggest it. I can't suggest it enough. Has themeing, and everything else I look for in a rom. I'd still be on slim but they removed native theming. So you have to use Xthemer for themes, and another module for network speeds. With this rom, I have those, Download only on network, but at least I can read it. I can hardly read the up/down speeds on roms like carbon and others that have one above the other. If they were side by side like the network speed module for xposed, that would be the icing on the cake, but I haven't seen any rom with that option yet.

All in all, It doesn't have too much crap, and only the stuff I use personally, it may not be for everyone, no halo, no omni switch, or the kitchen sink, but again, has everything I personally want in a KitKat rom. There's not much activity in this thread, but if you have issues with it, I'll try to help, or you can sign up and post in their forums, they're a nice bunch of blokes, and were patient with my extra long intro.

happy flashing!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] griz.droidx:
They've got t the new theme chooser app going on the latest build. Not sure when it was implemented but it's going to be very cool when themes start rolling out and or I figure it out
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dodgem2012:
reboot menu

I can't find a way to get to an advanced reboot menu to enable to reboot to recovery, can anyone point me to it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] griz.droidx:
It should be in developer options. Go to about phone click build number a grew times to enable Dev options. After you enable Dev options advanced reboot should already be checked.

Now an FYI to update those interested in nameless. I'm on the 05-17 build and decided to try the Google camera. Installed and everything works. Panorama, photo sphere, everything worked fine on my phone. I know it works on others but just wanted to let everyone know it's working for me here too. They have the new CM theme engine implemented. But I've only found one theme for it thus far. Fortunately, old t-mo themes work just fine. Also one feature I've been looking for forever and a day....

In Dev options when you enable back to kill, you can adjust the time it takes to kill. Awesome. Haven't seen this option since miui on my old DX. It's in gravity box but I avoid xposed when possible. Nothing wrong with it but I prefer baked in features. Which is why I'm running nameless. I like their philosophy on adding features and what's included in their ROM. I do use KT kernel but other than that I'm stock. When my last build settled I got great battery life. I generally look at sleep or standby time. And after 8 hours I only lost around five or seven percent. Good for me since my phone has to constantly search for signal.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dodgem2012:
Thank you I forgot about the multiple clicks to enable dev options.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dodgem2012:
I gave this ROM a few days and really liked the smoothness of it, battery life was amazing, a full charge lasted two days, altho mostly just getting it set the way I wanted, tweaking a few things and so forth.

The problem that I was having is that no matter what I tried I could not get exchange email set up with out a fc in both the email and exchange service. I also need to bypass the pin, all I want is just to swipe to get into the phone. I tried a couple of no pin email apps and one called exmail that said that the security could be uninstalled, but nothing would work. I wiped and reinstall the ROM and still would get a force close even with the email app that is baked in.

Has anyone else had a problem with an exchange email and do you know of an app that I could use to eliminate the security pin?

I had to go back to a backup of Hyperdrive just so I can get my email.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] griz.droidx:
The exchange issue could be due to the fact that the exchange service or apk is missing or not included for whatever reason. I'd try adding that to the system/apps folder with permissions set to the same as the email app or the same add they are in another aosp rom.

On another note the weekly release gave me a ton of issues so I installed 05-23. 05-25 gave the issues. I see that a newer 05-26 is out and I'm going to try it. After a nandroid this time. LoL. The builds are about 25-30 MB larger too. I personally can't figure out why reading the change log. But the change log is huge this time around compared to others.

Good luck. Nameless is awesome. I hope they didn't screw it up there's a whole lot of something they've added. I'm off to find out.

PS I replied earlier about the exchange issue but it's not here. Stupid tapatalk. Or stupid me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] griz.droidx:
my issues could be related to my phone.. I gotta do some research, I hope it's nothing the all father can't fix.. shew. There's a first time for everything.. I just hope it hasn't kicked the bucket.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thelangosta:
6/1 builds seems to be broken. After flashing both OTA and the full builds I got crazy FC's of all the gapps and system ui. Rebooting/wiping caches/reflashing gapps didn't fix it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] griz.droidx:
No issues here on 06-01-14 build. My previously reported issues were due to my failing power button which I no longer use. I'm using the pa gapps from 05-17a and the latest dkp kernel with default settings.

Not sure why you're having issues on this build. I even flashed dirty this time. I got a few FC's that seem to have stopped. If they continue I'm going to do a full wipe and reinstall. This is the first time I haven't wiped everything in a long time and I wish I had to be honest. A lot of devs recommend it. One, I can remember his name compared a dirty flash to putting on dirty underwear after a shower/bath. LoL. I'll never forget that.

I'd recommend you do a full wipe and of course don't restore ANY system data! I do restore some data on user apps that I know have zero effect on the system. Like my email app or games e-readers and stuff like that. Again I came from 05-22 and went to 06-01 with a cache wipe as well as dalvik. Cache should include dalvik. But just in case I wiped dalvik separately.

Again if I or you are coming from a different rom I'd definitely wipe data, cache, and system although the nameless installer will wipe system for you. Good luck. It's been a great ROM for me and I'm normally a slim guy and have rather high standards. I've been using this almost exclusively for a few months now.

Good luck and have fun more than anything. One more thing to note is that I haven't tested Bluetooth in a vehicle but the ROM connects to my moga pocket without issue or drama.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thelangosta:
Thanks griz, I did clean flash 6/1 after I had tried it via the ota. I used the full 5/24 pa gapps. For now I'm on the 5/29 build which has been great. Nameless is definitely one of my favorites.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dodgem2012:
There hasn't been much said lately on this forum about this ROM, is there another place?

I just have had a great experience with it, great battery life and lots of tweaks, I still haven't got to everything.

I still have to use a pin to open the phone from the lock screen because I have exchange email, the exchange apk that I used in Hyperdrive will not work in this but it may be that it is not KK ready.

Does anyone know of an inverted theme that would work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] griz.droidx:
Try both email and exchange apks from another aosp Rom like cm or slim. Then move to system/apps. Set permissions to the same as your email app that you overwrite. Try this. I doubt exchange from TW will work because most things don't. I've been using this as my dd for ever and ever now and love it's simplicity and feature set which I can't say enough about. You said your battery life was good. Mine is average. But nothing close to what I got on slim and I can't figure out why. Been checking wakelocks and what not but can't find the culprit. I've tried stock kernel, ktoonez, skip, bms, just haven't tried imoseyon's yet. Anyway. I'm going to check out paranoid for their native dpi per app changes. I know you can do it with xposed but that defeats the purpose imho.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] savagebunny:
Seems like there hasn't been any improvement on these Roms for our phones. Everyone else is moving to other platforms which I don't blame them, but I'm still sitting here in wonderland stuck with Mt GSIII suckimg battery everyday, and it being all laggy. Thought that CM11 builds would do any good, but since I stopped using them in March, its now June and stuff is still broken, FCs and other stuff. I'm running out of options to keep my GSIII running smoothly
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dodgem2012:
I will try to get the apk's from the ROM you suggested, not sure what you mean by setting the permissions the same, can you explain further?

I was using Hyperdrive for a long time, it's battery life was normal, this one is a lot better for me, I have not tried Slim yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] griz.droidx:
The easiest way would be to use a root explorer of your choice to see how they're set on the email app then set them the same way on the email/exchange app you bring in. Can't you just use something like k-9 mail which is free and open source or blue mail or another app for exchange support? Just wondering.

To Savage,

There's not a ton of improvements on our phones but really. For a device this old were very fortunate to have the latest 4.4.3 available to us. And honestly I don't have many or any FC's on this or slim. I can't say much about the others but they've been good in the past. Carbon liquid paranoid and cyanmod all have excellent reputations. My battery life isn't bad considering my signal is ****. I can easily get a day out of it. Many get 14 or more hours on battery with 3+ hours on screen time. These aosp ROMs have been very smooth for me. Even with me using all the crazy visuals that nameless offers. It's still smooth as silk. YMMV. I can't see how you could have that much trouble if you wipe and start fresh if coming from another ROM or if it's been a while and there's been major changes to this one. Really. If this doesn't suit you try slim or one of the dozen others that are updated nightly or weekly.

---------- Post added at 01:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:05 AM ----------

Hey I just saw exchange in my system apps folder. I usually don't pay attention or remove it and any other stock apps that I don't use. Maybe it's the gapps you're using but I doubt it. I think those apps are included in the ROM not gapps. But I'm using pa's because they're updated regularly.

Good luck. And don't give up.

---------- Post added at 01:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:09 AM ----------

Exchange should be there now if it wasn't before. It's in my build from June 12.

Dam I should have hit refresh
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] matalo:
Guys I've noticed in the past week or so of builds a problem occurs when receiving incoming call the phone ui errors out. I went back to 6-19 build. Also getting themes provider errors. Anyone else seeing this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] griz.droidx:
I haven't but then I don't receive many phone calls. At the moment I'm not using a theme. Just stock. I'm on the 06_27 build. Pa gapps from around the middle of June. But I used builds before this and haven't noticed any of the theme errors. Hopefully it'll be fixed in tonight's build if we get one and I believe we will. But it wasn't up as of a few minutes ago. They were updating devices though I watch on sourceforge. Good luck and keep me updated if you don't mind. How's you're battery life? I understand there's a zillion variables in this question but I'm just wondering.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] matalo:
Battery life is good and I do not use any themes either. I will test out latest build.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] griz.droidx:
Mine wouldn't boot the builds from 07-01 through 07-04. I think the one from the fifth worked again with a few quirks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] matalo:
The incallui bug is intermittent. Sometimes it occurs and then sometimes not. Very strange. On 7-5 build.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] matalo:
I notice a new bug with messaging, no matter which app you use. When you delete a message and go back to main screen the deleted thread shows up on the bottom of the list if threads.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] griz.droidx:
Been on 07-15-14 for two weeks with no major issues. Getting ready to test a few builds or just go ahead and flash either slim or nameless. I'll probably be back on nameless though because of the feature set that I adore. Just wanted to let the community know
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] matalo:
I assume the build server is down as there has been no updates the past couple days. Anyone have any news?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] griz.droidx:
Newest one I saw was from 08-18. I'm thinking about trying tw again. But I'm going to flash this one first to see what's changed. I've been on a build from July forever.

---------- Post added at 12:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:14 AM ----------

They'll probably be back soon they usually are.
