Hello Everyone,

Quick question: I installed this ROM last night on my Sprint SGS3. It booted up once and all seemed perfect. Then while I was going through the setup process, it rebooted for no apparent reason, then got stuck in an endless boot-loop cycle. Nothing I did worked to get it unstuck out of that boot-loop cycle.

Then as a desperate attempt, I went into Recovery and chose 'Fix Permissions'. Somehow that did something, because afterwards it rebooted perfectly.

I then finished up the setup process and began installing apps. I did a reboot (I forgot why) and then the boot-loop cycle began once again.

Now, even if I do 'Fix Permissions'...nothing will get it out of the boot-loop cycle.

Any ideas/suggestions?

Thanks!

BJ

I can't charge my phone when power off, anyone can help up?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thepiecesfit:
I found a bug with this rom when the battery completely drains. Leave it plugged in for about an hour. (it will charge) Remove the cable, pull the battery. Insert battery and turn phone back on. It will power on now as long as the plug is not in . Then you may resume charging. It's annoying but its the only way ive gotten around it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CyberGmonster:
Just have to say, this freaking ROM is freaking AWESOME!:D It's like going from red lobster to red lobster buffet for free. This amazing ROM have everything and is stable as it can be working flawlessly with LK! one heck of a contribution!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Deliberate:
op updated to v5.6!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] UrbanRunnerX:
Hey, curious, I know its probably graphical, but are you able to fix the position of the lock on Active Display, seems like its down a few pixels
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] aurelio0718:
Bluetooth the only thing not working for me...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Nesiop:
Is the latest 5.6 an update or will it wipe and install?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Dswag:
Is there fast charge enabled on this ROM?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] crs77:
There's a fast charge toggle in the quick settings you can add
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Dswag:
There's a fast charge toggle in the quick settings you can add

Just put it in my quick settings and when I try to click it on, it just remains the same- "fast charge off". Veddy interesting lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CyberGmonster:
After running this ROM for over a week I do notice just one problem. Wireless data seem to have a mind of it's own turning on and off throughout the day especially when I have Pandora running. I'm sure it does this other times too but I'm probably noticing it much more when I'm on Pandora which need constant data. Other than this small quirk everything else seem solid. Anyone else notice this data problem?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Nesiop:
Bump for anyone who installed 5.6.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mbr007:
Me too...lost 3g data after a day of usage.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sigson:
Read post #20 if you have data issues
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] djpabz23:
I tried following the steps but Titanium Backup hangs when converting APN Backup and Restore to a system app on 4.4.2 ROM
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sigson:
Do you have a copy of TB pro by chance?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] djpabz23:
Yes, I do.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sigson:
Strange, mine hung initially but ended up working the second time
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] djpabz23:
I tried several times and it always hangs. I even moved the app from /data/app to /system/app and then to /system/priv-app and no success. I always get the following message:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Nesiop:
Mine hung with tb pro also so i did it with the app '/system/app mover'
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] vestaviajag:
This worked for me! Thanks for the advice!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sigson:
This is the message that you received when you try to convert to system app? Did TB give you an error message when you tried to convert it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] akaTRAP:
I actually got pretty bad battery life with this ROM. It didn't even last me a day. The camera is amazingly clear, though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] djpabz23:
No, that's the message I got when manually converting the app to a system app. Whenever I tried using TB to convert to a system app, it would stay on processing for a very long time. On TW it only took a few seconds.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Nesiop:
Still no fix for bluetooth?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] vestaviajag:
What's the problem with it?

5.7 was just released. Hope it gets here soon! Love this ROM.

Came from CyanFox. Loved it, very stable, very fast, but lacking features. C-RoM has all three! Very surprised and happy!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Nesiop:
Doesnt like to connect much. When connects it force closes.

Is 5.7 an updater or is the zip written to auto wipe then install?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] vestaviajag:
I don't have issues with bluetooth. I use ARLiberator to connect to my AppRadio 2 (head unit in my Jeep), and it works well.

I'm not sure about the 5.7 update.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Nesiop:
Deliberate, does this rom update to 5.7 do a wipe of system and data before applying the rom or does it install as an update? I know some ROM's, typically the nightly's, are set to just update rather then forces a wipe in the install script.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sigson:
It will just update, I dirty flashed and had no problem other than Bluetooth would force close at the end of a call
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Nesiop:
Does bluetooth work though? Do you happen to use it for car audio too?

Thanks for answering.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] billyp707:
Bluetooth works for me for car audio.

And 5.7 is up!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Nesiop:
Thanks,

Although I'm sad it format's system. A ton of my apps get removed because they were system apps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] crs77:
No service on 5.7, APN missing. Dirty and cleaned flashed. Any way to fix this?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mbr007:
Me too...no service.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] vestaviajag:
x3

Looking to add the APN manually, but I din't think that will help with the actual service. Could be wrong, just a guess. Didn't work.

EDIT: Looks like it deleted the modem? my Baseband version: Unknown ...thinking flashing a modem would work? Also didn't work

EDIT 2: had to use an old backup. Hope someone figures this out.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] vestaviajag:
Did anyone get 5.7 to work, specifically the data/radio/modern part?

Could you flash 5.7, losing the modern, but restore only that specific part from an old 5.6 backup in TWRP? Just fishing a radio won't work for some reason. Must be the d2LTE bit.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] UrbanRunnerX:
I figured a LTE fix, made a topic on it here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2709927
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] vestaviajag:
Thanks for the write up!

I don't know how much that will help me though, every time I flash this it essentially removes my radio/modem, resulting in a loss of all connections, not just LTE.

It sounds like others have this issue as well. LTE would be nice, but if the new version of this rom stops all data/calls/texts, it's unusable.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] UrbanRunnerX:
I have no idea how your losing the modem, I have not yet lost it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] vestaviajag:
Maybe a bad download. I'll try again.

Even when I look up the Baseband, it says "Unknown". Very odd. Hopefully it's just me with this issue and it's because I'm an idiot. Fingers crossed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] UrbanRunnerX:
Lol, nah, probably just something small, what recovery are you using, and when was the last time you updated it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] vestaviajag:
TWRP 2.7.0.0
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] crs77:
Fresh download, updated to latest recovery: philz_touch_6.25.0-d2lte.

I think 5.7 doesn't like certain hardware revisions of this phone or something else funky is happening.

Either way, I give up trying..perhaps the next update works for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] vestaviajag:
5.8 has dropped. Hope that our version's radio issue will be resolved. Excited!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] crs77:
Where? OP still 5.7

Edit: nevermind...not out yet. You meant for other devices.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] vestaviajag:
Ya, sorry for the confusion. The OP said he was building for the d2att last night, based on Aways 5.8

Hope the radio issue is looked at.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Deliberate:
op updated to v5.8!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] vestaviajag:
Will test! Hopefully this doesn't fudge up the radio

EDIT: So far so good on the radio. Successful test call and test text. Using wifi like a champ. Will test out 3G and LTE.

EDIT: 3G works as well. I live in a hole, so I'm unsure about LTE at this moment.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] crs77:
LTE works so far
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] vestaviajag:
NICE! Thanks, that was the one thing I can test without leaving the house. Great to hear! Looks like ANOTHER strong ROM!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] aurelio0718:
no lte and bluetooth still jacks up in my car only....granted my cars head unit sucks balls! haha no pun intended.....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] crs77:
LTE works...but switching to 3G drops my data. And can't get LTE back unless I toggle the access point names setting.

Can anyone that has done the apn restore workaround share their Sprint apn so I can restore? I tried doing the backup..followed every step but it won't let me back up my apn's on stock 4.3
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] crs77:
Just when I started liking 5.8.....noticed I have no ext SD access. Dirty flashed...tried clean..still, same. Back to 5.6 until 5.9 bummer

Edit: ..my memory card magically crapped out over night. I popped in a new one and it works just fine.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] vestaviajag:
what do you mean by no ext SD access? your file explorer won't open up the location?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] crs77:
My memory card...it stopped working. Sorry..not the roms fault.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] billyp707:
Anyone having trouble sending mms?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Nesiop:
I had trouble with goSms so i manually set the mms/apn settings in there. If you use that, let me know and i can post the stuff.

---------- Post added at 04:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:24 AM ----------

Deliberate, I'm assuming this last update also wipes system, instead of acting like a nightly?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mbr007:
Beautifully done ROM.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] vestaviajag:
Had minor hiccups with MMS on 5.8

Now rocking 5.9 and everything runs beautifully!

Wish they didn't put back Halo in the notifications area, but oh well. I never use it, but unused icons annoy me. Still, an amazing ROM.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Nesiop:
Did you just flash over or clean wipe?

I have my phone setup perfect, and am hoping it doesn't wipe system since some apps are system and then other odds and ends.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
I said the same thing! Besides, if you have "Contextual notification panel header " under "Misc. Options", it puts a beautiful picture up there depending on the time of day. And at night, a full moon looking through the trees. But, blocked out by the unused Halo icon! Dang!

I've always done dirty flashes and wiped Dalvik/Cache after and most everything stays exactly the same. However, this script does format the System Partition, as most ROMs do, though as someone said, apparently not nightlies. You can look at the script to see exactly what it does.

Here are the lines from the script:

ui_print("Formatting System...");

format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system", "0", "/system");
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] vestaviajag:
I just dirty flash / flash right over. I don't deal with system apps, so I'm unsure on if it undoes your efforts. Listen to Master Cylinder's response, he knows his stuff.

Wait, say whaaaaaat?!? Contextual notification panel header? I want a beautiful picture on my notification bar thingy! Stupid Halo...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
You can still have it, it still works - check it out - it is a really nice hidden surprise! I've got clouds, sky and leaves now, with a Holo icon, but when quick settings are pulled up (love the way you can swipe across the Open drawer and bring up and put away the QS's) the icon disappears.

---------- Post added at 01:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:47 PM ----------

I should also say that I heavily rely on Titanium Backup to restore some data and settings even for system apps. Occasionally it doesn't work and there are some caveats.

Won't be without it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Nesiop:
Agreed, I live by Titanium Backup. a bit addicted to flashing since I've been doing it since the HTC Hero and Samsung Moment. I need to be close to 500 flashes between the different phones up to the S3... And soon the S5.

I just prefer the nigthly's that I can just take the update and not re-setup everything in the settings again, and then system apps. Titanium backup can also mess up a lot of the apps that have push notifications.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] vestaviajag:
I checked it under Misc. Options, where am I looking for it? Pulled down the quick notifications, don't see anything other than a black background.

Nvm, had to reboot, I see it now. Pretty suite! Thanks.

Also found the "On the Go Mode", which makes everything on your screen translucent with the camera, so it's like augmented reality, and you can walk be addicted to your phone without risk of running into/tripping. I'll never use it, still trying to master walking and chewing gum at the same time.

What? That's crazy! I gotta try that!

App Circle is fun. It's more wiz bang than practical but really looks cool. Appbar is cool AND quite convenient, a lot better tool really.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] billyp707:
A little off topic... Here is google's camera app that gives you the ability to shoot photospheres http://goo.gl/a5Wr67 .
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] vestaviajag:
It's in the power menu; long press the power button as if you were going to reboot, or go to recovery. It's neat, not really functional.

LOVE appbar! Didn't even know this existed until this ROM. So convenient, esp with the kill-all ability and favs.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
Can't Receive SMS

Well, I thought I was immune from the SMS/MMS problems people have been reporting on this ROM, (and on other KitKat based ROMs as well!) I just found I haven't been able to receive any SMS since I installed 5.9. I can send and receive MMS but no SMS.

I wiped the app data but no help, so I just restored the MMS.apk from 5.8 using Titanium Backup and, boom, back in business! TB to the rescue again.

HOWEVER, I suddenly find I can't protect that previous backup in TiBi - "operation fails." I'm not sure what's going on with that yet but I'm gonna try to track it down. In the mean time, I exported it to dropbox - can't save it locally either!

UPDATE: TiBi I dont' think can protect backup, or export a backup locally on KitKat. I tried earlier versions of C-RoM and other CM11 ROMs but no workie. Went back to a 4.3 TW ROM and it worked. Still, exporting works and seems to be the only way to protect a backup (without restoring a 4.3 Nandroid you might have around ;)

UPDATE on SMS: The TiBi downgrade didn't hold up - started having FCs when I was getting a text. Installed 8sms and it seems to be working at the moment ...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
SMS Fixed

It seems that a simple fix for the SMS problems people have been having is to just disable the blacklist in settings. That seems to have solved the problem for people and I tried it on stock SMS on mine and it works.:good:

EDIT: You can also install any SMS app and set it as default easily, which will also solve the problem. I found 8sms which is identical to the stock, plus some extra features, plus a dark theme, and you can change the icon to the stock one.

Aways has released his v6.0

Pretty excited, as the changelog indicates a bunch of new upgrades and functions.

One function in particular, I had a question about. Aways has added in OTA updates to 6.0. Since our version seems to be ported, or built by another (THANK YOU BY THE WAY), will the OTA feature not work for us? Just curious.

Love this ROM!

EDIT: 6.1 is out, apparently with a fix for MMS, which FC in 6.0. Hope Deliberate can keep this going. Appreciate his, and Aways, efforts!!! Thank you!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Deliberate:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] vestaviajag:
Nice. THANK YOU Deliberate! Testing 6.0 out now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] joeyddr:
this update broke the new google camera when you try to take a blur pic it crashes... back to 5.9. maybe it was cause i dirty flashed 6 over it.

After some use on 6.1, there is no more sound coming from the device--no ring, notification, nor alarm. I tried adjusting the volume, no joy. I will try to flash 6.2 to see if it helps. If anyone knows why, please chime in. Cheers.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Russ0000:
I had the same issue on 6.1. Its fixed on 6.2.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
Nope! Mine has worked perfectly through updates. However, sometimes I have to go and re-set up the sounds in all the different places, not just adjust volumes, like in messages, phone ring tone, notifications, and in sounds, etc ....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Deliberate:
if u are running c-rom u should see an update coming though the ota... if yout not on c-rom and like to try the newest build with the 3D bootanimation and some other merges ( check them out on c-rom's github if you'd like to see the changes) otherwise download here... http://get.c-rom.org/d2lte/

i still dont understand why it keeps saying md5 mismatch. the files are coming from the same place. but it will say that... just say install anyways, it will boot up recovery and just flash it manually! format system if u want or try dirty... location of rom after downloading will be in sd card under "cromota"!

hope all is well and enjoy!!!! :)

I have been runing C-RoM since 6.1, and now with 6.2 (from 4/26).
