flash mclaw cm11 custom rom

flash stock 4.1.1 rom with spt-box

flash stock rom 4.1.2 I8190N with odin

but still not solved.

and this is software problem. because after i flash stock 4.1.2 with odin this problem created

Did you flash a original firmware from : sammobile.com/firmware ?
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paymandragon:
Yes. But Not Worked
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prototype74:
Then try to get a navigation bar (only if you have root) download xposed installer link :http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1574401 and install the framework. Reboot. After that go to download option from xposed installer and download gavitybox [JB]. Install it and activate it in modules of xposed installer. Reboot. Then open gravitybox and go to navigation bar and acrivate master switch and enable nvigation bar. Reboot and you will get a navigation bar :) This also works on stock rom (TouchWiz)

another way to do what [MENTION=5377656]xXPR0T0TYPEXx[/MENTION] wrote is by going to system/build.prop (open it). Then add the following line at the very end of your build.prop file and save it : qemu.hw.mainkeys=0

When you've added the above line and saved your build.prop file reboot phone and you'll have soft-keys like on the Nexus :D

TouchWiz seems to act strangely, because it isn't designed to use soft-keys, but at least you'll be able to use your phone again ;)
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prototype74:
What will happen if he add qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 to build.prop ? Will this not enable the hardware keys?
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koragg97:

but i want original hardware keys

i downloaded official UK firmware from samfirmware and flash with golden pit. but also not worked
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koragg97:

Latest CM11 Not worked for I8190
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I did some googling earlier and came acroos a couple of posts that mentioned this after flashing in odin, and that a factory reset in TWRP/CWM was done which fixed the issue. I don't think it seems to be a ROM built issue, since Marcin/MacLaw own i8190 (the base version I believe) and would have noticed if the hardware buttons weren't working. Something must've gone awry when flashing in odin.

TBH didn't read the OP, but now I just saw you mentioned an odin flash with kies. Backup your data, and do a factory reset in your CWM. See if its working, if not revert back to stock with kies, try earlier files or the emergency service firmware or something like that (haven't used KIES). Ensure that it's working, and after it is working, flash a custom recovery (TWRP by NovaFusion) and then flash CM11, and you should be good.

If that doesn't work, try flashing older firmwares from sammobile until you get one that works, and remember to factory resets after each odin flash, seems a bit redundant and time-consuming, but for you, this particuluar issue is device-specific and not rom-specific (like I wrongly assumed).

When I originally read the post, I wrongly assumed that it was working on stock.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozfriend:
I tried so many different firmwares... stock and customs, (every version from Marcin/MacLaw and all the other customs from the xda forum), from the older to the newest firwares.

I do a factory reset before and after flashing. I flashed with Odin, Kies, TWRP and CWM, but the buttons doesn't works :(

But if I use the stock ROM (every stock ROM!), then the buttons works perfect.

just flash the BEST ROM for s3 mini ... :D

everything works like a charm with it.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexvv:
you probably don't understand the problem.. it's a kernel not a rom problem, any kernel change will deactivate the capacitive buttons until you are back stock! yes carbon is a good rom but it doesn't address the problem, some senior devs should try and fix this.. it's well above my knowledge..
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
what the hell are you talking about?

i think you probably don´t understand the problem...

capacitive buttons WORK on carbon!!! flashing the carbon ROM include the ROM AND THE KERNEL (but not the baseband) ...
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pro100Nikto:
Okay, i`m will try it later ;).Sorry for bad quoting. I mean "Best Rom"
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexvv:
No they don't work on carbon it's that simple i've tested it. Only some s3 minis have this problem. Probably yours is ok.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koragg97:
Well then I think it's a hardware problem knowing that Carbon and CM both have working capacitive buttons.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexvv:
Sure is a hardware problem since there's no solution to this and it's kernel related. Hopefully some experienced developers can fix this by editing the build prop i think... it's really annoying cause the on screen buttons take up a lot of space on the screen.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
capacitve buttons on my device works (thanks god...:D) - but i don´t use them (i flashed a script to disable them always). i love the navigation bar on the screen and they can be resized to minimal on carbon settings ...

Hello, I have had this problem a few times. When I reboot the phone 3 or 4 times it usually sorts the problem. It seems to happen after you install a custom recovery.

[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mhearnshaw:
Would just like to say that I also have this issue....

I recently had a replacement S3 Mini, but I asked for the pebble blue version, instead of the standard white, and have tried several ROMs over the past few months, none of which will allow me to use the hardware back and menu keys, although the middle home key works fine, could this issue have arose because Samsung have changed/updated the hardware running the buttons in newer models? I have come to this conclusion as I could flash my old white S3 Mini and everything worked fine. My handset is an N version, i'll get more info if anyone asks / will be of use. Regards, Matt.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paymandragon:
can you explain more?
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mhearnshaw:
Basically I had a white s3, which I lost. I had rooted and changed the ROM to CM 10.2 in December, everything was fine. Then I lost the white handset.

When I went to CPW to order another off my insurance, the gentleman asked which colour I wanted, opted for the blue one. That was back in January. I tried flashing CM 10.1, 10.2 and 11 and Carbon and slimKat, to no avail. I personally believe Samsung have changed something behind the scenes to do with the hardware within newer handsets , though reverting to a stock ROM seems to remedy the problem.

I have tried with the latest ROM today and still have the same issue.

Please denote specifically what other information you may need if so.

And I am just downloading the newest stock ROM now to reflash so replies may be a while!!! :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hammer_Of_The_Gods:
Hi,

I guess you are using Xposed stuff... if yes it's normal, for now Xposed framework is not compatible with ART runtime so to avoid bootloop it goes back to Dalvik runtime automatically.

oh ahaha cheers for that :D I didnt realise that xposed framework would effect it :)

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gent.b:
Hey guys,

I have been having problems with some CyanogenMod roms lately. My I9300 was working perfectly using one of the nightly CM 11 ROM's released in early March, until I installed the latest M Snapshot. From there on in my phone has gone insane.

From time to time, during the day the phone gets blocked without any apparent reason. My first thought was that has something to do with the RAM, maybe its getting low somehow, but no, that wasn't the case. Most of the time I have at least 160-180 free ram, usually more than that.

Anyway, then I thought maybe the problem was the installed ROM, so I did a re-install but still,with no effect. Then I downloaded 17th of march nightly ROM, wiped clean the cache and reset the phone. Still with no effect.

My next solution is: Download the newest nightly, currently 18th of March, install the latest Clockworkmod Recovery, which is 6.0.4.6., reset and wipe the phone again (backing of course) and install the latest ROM. What do you guys think?

Also, does anyone else has this problem after installing the latest M-Snapshot from the CM download page.

I would much appreciate your help. Thanks a lot.

Gent
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] henkkaize:
Yes. You definitely should install the latest CWM. And when you wipe, make sure that you (from the CWM menu ofc):

wipe data/factory reset

mounts and storage -> fromat system

mounts and storage -> format /data and /data/media (/sdcard)

advanced -> wipe dalvik cache

then flash the rom etc

If you didn't do this in the first place when you tried flashing the ROMs the flashes were dirty and that may be the reason why they didn't work.

Doing the above will give you a real fresh start with your ROM and problems should not appear.

So, I don't think the problem is in any of the ROMs you tried.. I'm just guessing, so correct me if you did all the above :confused:

I have been doing just fine with CM 11 M3 and M4 builds and now I'm on the latest nightly and everything is working perfectly! :highfive:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gent.b:
Hey Man,

I did that, but now the problem is that I cannot install the rom because it has wiped all the data that were there. Now I cannot transfer the rom into the phone. I transfered it into the external sd card but it does not let me to install it, it shows an error.

What to do now???
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tallman43:
You should always put roms on ext sd card before you are ready to flash not internal for situations like this! Flash back to stock with odin and start again.;)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andr3y29:
Connect the phone via USB cable, go to recovery, Mounts and Storage, and then click Mount USB Storage. Then, transfer the ROM. Have you thought about having the Cm instaler?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tallman43:
Sorry I think my reply might have confused you..I was suggesting that he should have transferred his rom to ext sd card before he started to flash and wipe system..It looks like he wiped the system in recovery and could not transfer rom to internal sd so he managed to transfer the rom to external sd where it would not let him install please correct me if I am wrong ..;)

I know there are other options he can try but in this situation I recommend flash to stock to give him a clean system and minimize any errors he might have and then he can try again the correct way.:)
