Hey, i just flashed this rom and the camera doesn't work. What should i do? Thank you in advance.

stuck on samsung boot logo

I Tried to install both version 6 & 7 but the phone stills stuck in the samsung boot logo!!!

I changed the revovery used to flash (philz, twrp, cwm...) but the result is the same. any help please?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Joker87:
First boot takes a bit of time... Did you wait long enough? Did you wiped data, cache, system, dalvik cache before flashing?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] egemet:
Finally I got V8 installed. Learned it the hard way, though. You have to put ROM on Ext-SDCard. All system, data, cache, dalvik AND internal storage (internal SDCard) must be wiped clean. Otherwise, it is not installed. But it is a nice ROM anyway, already thanked the OP.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] marenp:
Well i installed it from internal SD without problem. There must be conflict that you cannot install it before.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] LikssOn:
If I wipe/format System, will it delete recovery?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Tkkg1994:
No, your recovery will stay the same :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] fabiocaruso:
You must install first choosing "QS Kernel" and "S3 Camera". You finish installation, You do some photos (so it will enable camera drivers), and finally You can install Boeffla Kernel (v6.4) from www.boeffla-kernel.de. And all will be fine :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Rene_ajax:
thanks for your advice

so crap a ROM with a camera not working...

developper should put this on the OP....
[Galaxy S III Android Development] fabiocaruso:
This Rom is wonderful. I think it's the best rom ever made for the Galaxy S3, and the last version (v8.0), properly installed, is 100% stable :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] KeTuRr74:
Installed and flashed the S3 menu fix but now when i hold the home button,there are not the task manager.It is normal ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] LikssOn:
Running v7.0 and after instaling Boeffla-kernel 6.3, don't have problem with keyboard, black screen on incoming call and don't have problem with closing app for now. Rom is smoth, good batery life, fast, stabile, ect... Still can't run OTA v8.0 update from update app, but tonight I will try fresh install from TWRP recovery, formating system, data, internal storage ect... This is aversome rom, TY!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] genadata:
Check Camera Firmware:

1) Dial *#34971539#

2) pick up option: "Phone/Cam FW Check"

Find suitable firmware and proceed like me.

For me FW is: BHFJ02.

and binary is : SlimISP_BH.bin

Paste this binary in: root/data/cfw (Phone memory)

"CFW" folder should be empty.

Copy with Total Commander and permissions 775

Enjoy! Camera working!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] urmitnick:
Thank you for your reply, yes I waited for more than a half hour, and yes I did a full wipe: data, system, cache, dalvik cache before flashine and I wiped cache after flashing...

I wil give a try to the v8 version, hoping that it'll work...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Jeik:
Don't wipe cache after flashing the ROM? O.o

I fully wiped(system,dalvik,cache,data) over twrp,flashed the ROM,chose a full wipe in AROMA,and installed and rebooted.

I think V8 should work.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] urmitnick:
The first timei didn't wipe cache after flashing, but when it didn't work I said: why not! hhh
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Jeik:
Well then all I can say is:try flashing the version 8 and if it still won't work, try flashing some other ROMs and then try again.If nothing of that works,try flashing the stock ROM over Odin(last resort).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] LikssOn:
V8.0

Finaly, I just install rom v8.0, tnx to: [MENTION=1993636]egemet[/MENTION] and [MENTION=6021103]fabiocaruso[/MENTION]

I am running lastest TWRP 2.8.4.0. touch recovery

1. First of all, put rom v8.0 on ext.sd card, and wipe all: system, data, cache, dalvik AND internal storage (internal SDCard).

2. Install rom, choosing QS kernel and s3 camera app.

3. After instalation, take two or tree photos with camera.

4. Bot into recovery and flash Boeffla kernel v6.3

Now testing rom, but for now everything looks OK! :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] urmitnick:
That's waht I'm going to do, Thank you for your replies :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SezBulent:
Hey, this method indeed works! I read the previous comments,tried and worked! Thank you very much!

Since i tried the method [MENTION=6021103]fabiocaruso[/MENTION] told, and it worked, i didn't tried yours. But thank you anyway for the reply!

Well basically almost all except for hardware and gpu acceleration(they make your device a lot faster,but it drains the battery a lot faster).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] KeTuRr74:
Just upgrade.

Wipe cache and dalvik cache

Flash the V8

Wipe cache and dalvik cache

Normally it will boot succesfull.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] LikssOn:
Take some photo with camera, and after that, flash boeffla kernel 6.3 or 6.4...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] fabiocaruso:
If You want to repair it, You should take Gmscore.apk from v7.0 of this Rom. First, using "system app uninstaller", You uninstall Google Play Services, after You install the Gmscore.apk above. Reboot the phone, after open Google Play, so it load system files. Then Gmail app and sync will work.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] unstoppable_punk_brainiac:
Well it's been a full day of use with this rom. First, battery is just great. No unusual battery drain or anything.

The camera works just fine with latest boeffla... (don't know about you guys)

But i have some issues

Email app doesn't sync. It syncs all my email , but when i delete or move an email, after a refresh it's back there. As they were never moved/deleted. As if the email app doesn't send the data back to the server....

Second, i would like to use the menu button as a menu button and the home button as a recent app , as in the original S3, but still keep the 3 dots in apps. Can i do that?

It just bungles my mind
[Galaxy S III Android Development] TrashSlash:

V8 is amazing :)

But. How do I change the font to Helvetica?

There is no option in the display or anywhere else in the settings. I tried EVERY option!

Even my 4.1.2 stock boring rom had an option to change the font.

I know i can change the font by large number of playstore apps but there must be an option under the settings tab. Isnt there? :confused:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JL94x4:
-It is possible, but its a rather weird work-around, the only one i could find..

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.monotype.android.font.flipfont.develop.comic

Install above app, and launch directly from the app, once in here it will launch the hidden samsung setting which includes Helvetica. Once you've changed font, you can uninstall app you installed :)

Hope i helped you... :good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] jusin_cartor:
Thanks a lot! :) Going to try that.

Also, the camera quality.. I feel that it worsens to a very high extent when I install this rom, both with the front and rear cam.

The camera quality on the stock JB 4.1.2 was superb. Is there a way I can get the stock app? I tried everything, installed with the default settings checked in Aroma, tried the camera tweaks.. The quality still sucks. :(
[Galaxy S III Android Development] obdan_van_darg:
Easy: just go to SETTINGS, click the 3dot menu in the upper, right corner and choose "edit quick Settings" and find Font. Select it and save. Now you'll find it as you espected under settings.

The latest version of Boeffla Kernel You can install on this Rom is 6.5. You can download it from:

http://www.boeffla-kernel.de/

(under Downloads Samsung phones -->KK 4.4.2 Stable versions)

It is the last version of the best kernel ever made from Samsung Galaxy S3. Setting the right "governor" in the Boeffla Config app, You can obtain a long battery life. For example, You can choose "Pegasusq - boeffla battery saving" :)

---------- Post added at 21:50 ---------- Previous post was at 21:47 ----------

Have You installed Boeffla Kernel? Have You enabled ZRam 600 and swappiness 80? Are You using "Greenify" app for all that progs not needing to stay residents and actives in memory?

Because it seems that all your problems come from low memory available.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] TheKingDragon:

[Galaxy S III Android Development] obdan_van_darg:
Since V7 has been my daily driver for a very long time and the ROM really ran like butter, I've been very sceptical if this already best ROM my GS3 has ever seen could still become better.

What should I say? I'm very happy that I've been proven wrong and V8 manages to be even faster and to deliver an S5 experience like no other ROM (and I've tried almost all S5 wannabes).

The only thing I'd change is to include the right Icons for 3G/HSDPA instead of 4G/LTE. It's one thing to bring the S5 experience to our S3 with working features, but I think it's not that good to include such gimmicks.

But, hey: there's a fix in the first post and if someone likes to have "LTE" we have choice.

Thank you Sunajkram for proving once again that our S3 is definitely not worse than the so called S5 mini but even better.

Edit:

Oops! Looks like the addon isn't to bring back H/H+ but to add the already included 4G/LTE. Is there a path to display the right H/H+?

Email Stops working

Hi,

Great ROM, thanks

The only problem I found is that I can't change Email notification sound. When ever I want to press to choose a sound, I am getting the message "Unfortunately, Email has stopped" and then I can press OK.

I have tried multiple times, with no success. I have multilevel emails and therefore it's useful for me to have different notification sound for every email.

Another thing I have noticed is, when I copy and past a text on the email. It will not let me do it. I am also getting the message "Unfortunately, Email has stopped"

This problem was also occurring the the version 7, and version 8 didn't fix it. I haven't stayed longer on a Rom than this one, so I haven't tried this on any other Roms in the past. I am not sure if the Email app is corrupted or there is a bug in this ROM. Maybe this problem could be solved by changing some permissions.

I hope there is someone who has faced this problem and managed to fix it.

Thanks.

BTW: is it recommended to upgrade to the S5 cam? Does it work right? shooting fast is for me important, I don't want to spend a lot of time adjusting and waiting for the camera to take some pics.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] fabiocaruso:
The first time You must flash this rom choosing "QS Stock Kernel" during installation. Then you have to open Camera app to take some photos. At last, You flash the "Boeffla Kernel" (from www.boeffla-kernel.de) from recovery. So your camera will work.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] fabiocaruso:
On this Rom, all syncronizations work. I think You should format cache, dalvik, system, data and internal storage (placing the Rom .zip file on the external microSD) to be sure that all the things will work without problems. This Rom is beautiful and very stable; it's probably the best porting of Kitkat 4.4.2 for the Samsung S3 Phone.
