op updated to v6.0!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] johnlgalt:
Since I just jumped on this ROM as f 5.9, is it cool to dirty flash the new 6.0 over the current 5.9?

I'm about to find out the hard way lol. After I make a backup of the current install, of course.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
6.0

Awesomeness!

Yeah, man! Flash it dirty! Moi aussi!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Deliberate:
op updated to v6.1!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] johnlgalt:
Damn, I can't keep up! You're giving us crackflashers a run for our money! :P

Oh, and I suppose this is the Earth Day edition, eh? :P
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
I believe 6.1 only fixes the SMS/MMS problem which got missed in 6.0, according to his Google+ site. I already had installed 8sms which is great and identical program with extra features. If one is not using the messaging package that comes with it, may not need to flash this update.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] johnlgalt:
Thanks. When I installed 6.0 last night the changelog said SMS/MMS had been fixed, so I didn't actually test it.

When I first installed 5.9 and read through the forums of the different problems, I tested a few and found the SMS problem - and alleviated that by enabling SMS in Hangouts.

I'm on 6.0 now, and I'd rather not use hangouts for SMS, particularly since it can combine SMS and circle conversations (and yes I know it can be prevented too) so I'll probably go ahead and install the 6.1 update.

Thanks for the info.

---------- Post added at 11:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:58 AM ----------

And, actually, it's kinda funny, when I went to the website, 6.1 was already there, but I left it alone, since the ROM thread still only had 6.0
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
I don't think there are any d2lte downloads on that website. They've only come through the xda forum threads as far as I know. Maybe it's because Deliberate is porting them?

EDIT: I may have misunderstood what website you're talking about. c-rom.org doesn't have any d2lte files on there that I can find.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Deliberate:
YAY!!!! i am not the OFFICial supporter of C-ROM for the D2LTE! If your like me and your really diggin this rom maybe you can help the developer and i out! The developer aways!!!! is trying to get a new server going to better support the roms OTA UPDATE function, and... he needs some donations... so that he can put all officially supported roms on a server that will give u all better download speeds and for aways!!!! to have more space for better/more support! this is totally optional, so dont feel that if u dont we will stop supporting this! CAUSE THAT IS NOT THE CASE!!!!! just hoping the users of the rom will help us out! please please please! :D all help will be GREATLY APPECIATED!!!! and thank u for your time!

if u would like to show support and help us out! please donate here!

Default Keyboard

Is anyone else having issues with the default KB. Every time I try to swipe with the keyboard it closes.

Is there a fix for this?

Thanks in advance....

Tannerj
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
Sorry, don't have that problem. Clear cache and data in Application Manager. You could also flash the keyboard.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Deliberate:
op updated to v6.2! please review install instructions first!

MD5 Mismatch

The ROM file and it's MD5 do not match from that server for the d2lte versions. I dloaded the jflte version just to test and it checks out - matches.

Seems to work, however, except the Gallery for sdcard1. Installed quickpic - works good!

EDIT: Seems to be a size mismatch - 181.4mb vs. 173mb?

---------- Post added at 03:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:18 PM ----------

Start a new message, type in a recipient then another etc, or, by the recipients field at the top is a plus sign "+" Press that and then select whoever you want from your contacts list
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cozmic:
thanks, but no joy. i guess it's really an MMS issue - can't send photos either (tried just to one person). i tried looking at APN issues (tried to change some of the settings, but went back to default), changed the preferred network type to LTE/CMDA/EVDO.

i've read this thread

<><><>

after flashing the rom, i installed

GAPPS-KK-20140105-signed.zip

then today, don't remember how/ where , but my phone said there was an update, so i installed

PA_GAPPS-MODULAR.....4026a-signed.zip

i didn't do anything other than flash the zip file using CWM Touch recovery (no cleaning etc)

Could this have caused an issue? i don't know if MMS was working prior or not.

any other suggestions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
Replace it with 8sms which identical to the stock sms plus some extra feature, plus dark theme, plus you can even change the icon to be the same as stock. Easy to change default messaging app in KitKat - just open the new one and at top will be the directions to change default. This is what I use.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cozmic:
still no joy:crying:

Dev Received Donations for Phone Repair

Hello!

aways has reported that because of generous donations, he has received enough to order a new screen for his phone. He'll need to install it after receiving it, then we'll see when he gets back up and running.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ghost Protocol:
Hello. (@Deliberate & Everyone)

I wanted to try this ROM and followed the instructions given.

Wipe DATA/Factory Reset, Wipe CACHE partition/Format System

Then I Wiped Internal Storage/Memory and the phone restarted on its own and have been stuck at the "Samsung Galaxy S III" screen for the longest.

Am I not suppose to do this if I want a clean install? What can I do to correct this and install this ROM? :crying:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidxxxxx:
What recovery are u running? I've been on it for over 24 hours.. Running great.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
You don't have to wipe internal (depending on what ROM you came from.) Pull yer battery and see if it will boot. Otherwise, go into recovery and re-flash.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ghost Protocol:
Hello and thanks for your reply.

I had to flash a Recovery using Odin to fix the issue. Currently I am on ClockworkMod 6.0.1.2. I reflashed the Alliance ROM to make sure I am in good state.

Now... With that being said... What do you suggest I do, moving forward, to try this ROM? :confused:

---------- Post added at 12:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:53 PM ----------

Now, I am running ClockworkMod 6.0.1.2. What are you running?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidxxxxx:
you need to get the newest recovery I'm pretty sure. You can get it from the Play Store. TWRP app.

---------- Post added at 10:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:55 AM ----------

I haven't tried flashing it with clockworkmod, I've been using TWRP lately

---------- Post added at 11:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:57 AM ----------

Just make sure to enable compression before making a backup if u move to 2.7.0.0 twrp
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
I thought you might have to do that - sounds like you know what to do. The newest ClockworkMod is 6.0.4.5. As droidxxxxx said, that might have been a problem? I had trouble with TWRP 2.7 on Alliance 23 - couldn't boot after restore - same exact problem you described here. Going back to 2.6.3.1 fixed it.(Others did not have this problem. I had a lot of problems with Alliance 23, so ..., probably won't go back until a new version comes out.) I've used 2.7 on this ROM, and all other ROMs, no problem.

You can quickly change recoveries with Rom Toolbox, though in free version I'm not sure.

Just do the Dalvik/Cache/Factory Reset wipe and you'll be good to go. You may also want to flash the update-test.zip after flashing, either after first boot or before, which fixes the OTA update feature. In 6.2a, it was not fixed without the patch. It will take forever on first boot to setup all apps you had on your /data/data folder.:good:

I tell ya, after experiencing TWRP, you may not want to go back.

PS - You're gonna LOVE this ROM!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ghost Protocol:
Hello Again.

Well, I could not locate the latest 'ClockworkMod v6.0.4.5' so I had to Odin the 'Team Win Recovery Project v2.7.0.0' tar file to flash this ROM. I am now officially on this ROM. Haven't gotten the chance to play with the settings as yet. Charging the phone first.

Before charging the phone, though, I did notice a few thinks that I may have to get use to. See the list below.

No 'Favorite Apps' widget and 'Calendar' widget.

No S5 Weather and Clock for the Home screen.

Question ~ What's the default SMS App? I notice the SMS settings status was 'disabled' after restoring my text messages.

Question ~ What and Where can I get 'PA Gapps'?

If you don't mind ~ What do you like about this ROM? I ask, because you sound very excited about this ROM. :confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
Oh, sorry friend, you have to flash GAPPS. Maybe that is causing you a problem. There definitely is a Google Calendar widget just like TW, also a great weather/clock widget for the home screen.

If you restored your messages from a TW app through like TB, that won't work - likely crap out your SMS. Sorry I didn't warn you. If this is your first AOSP ROM then, yeah, there are a couple of other things like that and GAPPS. I didn't realize that when you asked for what to do first.

Look in C-Tools>OTA to find some GAPPS to flash, including PA GAPPS which are up to the minute up to date, and you can choose different packages. Read about them here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2397942 You might want to choose a package that doesn't have the new camera if you want to save your shots to the external SD card - Google don't want you using an external SD card! Some apps won't do it and others have been updated to write to it, but it's a KitKat security measure, amongst other things...

If you used TB to restore, you could go back and backup in Alliance your messages and Call Log using Settings>Migrate system data option which creates a separate backup that is compatible between types of ROMs. Also contacts - you should export from within the contacts app to create a vcard which can be imported into any message app, but if your contacts are okay, then don't worry about that. I had to do that.

It's very easy to change default message app in KitKat - just install one and open it, then at the top it will give you the option to change to that. I use 8sms which is identical to the native KitKat/cyanogenmod app that comes with it, but with a couple of extra features and is free. Of course there are other one's and as I said, it's easy to try other apps and change back and forth.

However, you probably should first clear data and cache in Application Manager for 'Messages' since it's borked . (You may have to reinstall it.)

As far as what I like? It's so fast and smooth and feature rich! It's elegant. Much less overhead. And, you can easily apply themes for the CM11 theme changer, just find them on Play Store and install them and choose them and everything themes on the fly. You can have 10 themes installed and change them at will (not just 10...) I love Touchwiz, but C-RoM has forced TW off of my phone for a daily driver. Stable, smooth ..., it's a different world if you've never used AOSP before, and this one is filled with great stuff! Some stuff doesn't work like you want, but other stuff works that didn't on TW. Live with it for awhile. Maybe it's for you?

EDIT: Also, Accuweather Widget on Playstore has waaay more cool functions than the TW one, though it costs a dollar or two, but is on sale right now, (there is a free version) with 3 different widgets (though not as cool looking as the TW one I use the stock one AND the Accuweather one.) Besides, that TW widget is probably available somewhere on xda for AOSP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ghost Protocol:
Hello Again Buddy.

I guess I installed the wrong Gapps, because it really did not give me much. At least not anything that stands out or that I am use to. I installed the “OTA_Test” file and installed the latest C-RoM-KK-v6.2-20140427-d2lte.zip, via OTA. Now, I am waiting for the PA_Gapps-Modular-Full to complete the download and installation.

Well, the installation is complete, but I still DO NOT see a Calendar widget like on TW. You also stated that there’s a great Weather/Clock widget for the Home screen. Where?

In reference to the SMS Messages, I restored my SMS Messages, using “SMS Backup & Restore Pro”, fine and using the native Kit Kat/Cyanogenmod App w/o any issues. I may give ‘8sms’ a try though.

Yes… This is my first experience with AOSP. I have been a loyal and dedicated Touchwiz person. I must say, though, that this ROM is very smooth and has features that are “rich” (Like you stated). I have a feeling that I will have fun learning this new ROM.

Thank you very much for your time, feedback, and assistance. I really appreciate it!

I will give you a status update next week. Stay tune. :highfive:

Questions:

1. What is the Kernel for this ROM?

2. When I receive a phone call the screen stays black or 'asleep'. Are you experiencing this too?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
Hey!

Glad you're up and running! The kernel is listed under Settings>About Phone.

I have included some screen shots that show the widgets and stuff - the 2nd one shows the dazzling App Circle! The 3rd one shows the 2 widgets in the widget drawer you were looking for. The 4th one shows what my screen looks like when I get a call and the screen is asleep. I've been looking for a setting - there must be one that is blocking you. I've heard of someone having this.

EDIT: Also, one of the things that makes this ROM work for me is that I recommend replacing the launcher with Apex free version - it has many useful features, including gestures to quickly open often used apps, like file explorer and TiBi. (After going back to T I find I'm used to this and switch to Apex or Nova for this feature, though with Nova you have to pay $4.) Dividing the App drawer and adding infinite scroll and return to same place, etc ..., changing icons on the fly, and many others.

With the stock launcher Trebuchet, the way it's implemented seems to me to be a mistake since you can't access 'Settings' without using an icon, only settings for the launcher, which doesnt have any.. In cm11 where it comes from this is not so. Anyway, my 2 cents.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] itlooksfast:
I have been trying to flash this ROM but during the process I kept getting an ERROR message... (status 7)

Im using CW 6.0.2.3 and the ZIP files are in my SD Card, I even download the files directly from my phone. What am I doing wrong?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ghost Protocol:
Hello.

First... You may have to move the Zip file to the phone storage. Also, I suggest upgrading to the latest Recovery (TWRP or CWM). I upgraded to the latest TWRP and was able to flash the ROM without any issues.

EDIT: I suggest downloading the files, and any files, to a computer and then moving them over to your phone. Only my two cents.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] itlooksfast:
Ok I did both. I downloaded from my computer and transferred it to my phone. Now the files are on my external SD Card not the Phone's SD CARD. Then I downloaded directly to my external SD card on my phone. Now I dont know if the zip files being on my external SD Card or Phone's SD Card makes a difference. But when I factory wipe, everything in my phone SD card is cleaned.

But I will try to upgrade to the latest recovery.

EDIT: I updated the recovery. Did the trick! Thank you!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ghost Protocol:
What I did w/o Issues or Problems...

I downloaded the ROM, 'GAPPs' file, and 'OTA_Test' file to my MacBook Pro (Computer).

Moved them ALL to my external SD Card (32 GB).

Ensure my Recovery (TWRP 2.7.0.0) was the latest.

In Recovery ~ Wiped Data/Cache/Delvik Cache (Three times)

In Recovery ~ Format System and Factory Reset (Three times)

The instructions states and recommended installing the ROM from the Internal SD Card/Storage, but I installed it from my External SD Card do to having to reflash my Recovery. So the choice is yours!

After installing the ROM, I let the phone sit for awhile (About five minutes) at the Home screen.

Then I rebooted back into Recovery and flashed the OTA_Test file.

When the phone loaded fine to the Home screen I went into Settings --> C-Tool --> C-RoM OTA and downloaded/install ALL the updates.

Hope this helps! :highfive:

P.S. ~ Have fun!! :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DroidxRage:
Couple minor issues to report, nothing that will prevent me from keeping/recommending this ROM, using the newest? 0427 build

Disclaimer: May not be this ROM issue, might just be the feature. IDK but might help others -----

Phone gets stuck when turning on screen: softkeys will light up but the screen is black. Seems to be related to the "screen on/off from pocket" feature in lockscreen notifications from what I can see. Turned that off and no issues since (knock on wood). I could get the screen on by tricking the sensors into thinking I was taking it out my pocket, which made me believe that was the issue.

I had a couple of random reboots, snapping pics or playing Family Guy. Nothing major, and I haven't had any since I swapped to KTK kernel.

Other than that, loving the ROM. TONS of customization, snappy, great AOSP experience. I've pressed the button several times, but it's worth saying THANKS for your time and efforts on this ROM kind sirs. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
Maybe you had Active Display turned on, too, which has a pocket mode as well? I use the Lockscreeen>Notification Pocket Mode all of the time and love it, with Active Display turned off. (I really don't know what Active Display is for.)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chiadrum:
Seems to be a very fine ROM very snappy-just 1 issue so far no matter what I do I never see Halo.tried rebooting,wiping cache and dalvik,fix permissions etc.

Running 6.2 0427.Anyone else having this problem?Halo is one of my favorites for some reason.Hate not having it.Everything else seems to be spot on.Is it the 0427 build?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
According to this post on c-rom.org http://www.c-rom.org/thread-c-rom-v6-2-839.html?pid=1300#pid1300 you have to dirty flash from 6.1 for it to work on 6.2 but it will be fixed in the next release. Others have had problems (mine works but I dirty flash one release to the next.) So, yes it's apparently is just the two 6.2 builds.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chiadrum:
Aah good to know thanks.Hopefully the next release will fix it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
You could have it today if you want to flash 6.1. Then flash the ota-test.zip and do 6.2 through the OTA (but will have to flash ota-fix after again.)(or not - nothing wrong with 6.1)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chiadrum:
Woo that's a bit too much work thanks though.This job of mine gets in the way!I'm on call.Gotta have a working phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
Hey Ghost! You should try App Bar and App Circle. App Bar long press produces a floating window of any app on there - and multiple floating windows! Same thing with App Circle (C-Tool>Misc. Apps: This will pop your eyes!) Long press those apps and get a floating window option. Same with Slim Recents.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chiadrum:
Wow tip of the century.I had no idea.Fantastic.I spend so much time flashing that I never learn how to use the features!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
Select the upper left 3 dots of a floating window and you can snap it and have the same thing as multi-window!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chiadrum:
Try that on an IPhone!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DroidxRage:
I didn't have Active Display on, so there wasn't any collision. I did also do a clean flash, since I went dirty going from 6.1 - 6.2, so that I was more confident it wasn't a hangover thing. The problem did happen before I started installing apps after the clean flash, and then subsided after I turned off the pocket feature.

That being said, I had the same issues as before a couple times again today. Press power to unlock the phone and 1 of 2 things happen:

1) Softkeys light up but the screen never comes on. If I wait long enough (sometimes 5-10 minutes) the screen becomes responsive again. I usually pull battery.

2) Screen comes on but it's bypassed the lock screen. I can't interact with the screen however, and then it just flashes back to the lockscreen which I also cannot interact with. Basically the screen comes on (seemingly stuck between lock/unlock) but you can't interact with the device.

I did gather a Bug Report when it happened earlier, I am not sure if that would help or if you need me to logcat next time it happens. I may need some direction to logcat if that would help.

Still love the ROM... :) TY kind sirs!
