Putting aside the name calling, accusations about not reading the thread, and unnecessary master of the universe tone, chapsushi is right that we need a first post that is updated and answers these basic questions to avoid repetition. It is far too hard to find answers because the information is spread out in two long threads that contain a lot of conflicting information. I think the post would have been more helpful if it posted the answers to the questions in one place for people who have not been following the development from the beginning, but putting the information up front would really help.

Netflix error (-9)

Any one knows a fix or the cause of this error?? After flashing cm12 can't use Netflix and YouTube also has random lost connection errors..

Stability

How stable is this port? Like, if I wanna use it as my everyday OS, is it stable enough to do so?
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] Koohara947:
Considering that its still in development, its VERY stable well to me at least. Calling sometimes doesnt like to work on my end but my god its a battery saver. I used to get through half a day on full charge on stock but now i go to like 2 in the evening from 6 am at its still like in the low 80's high 70's. I would reccomend putting this on youre phone if you know how to. Also for the GAPPS i use this: http://xdaforums.com/android/software/gapps-google-apps-minimal-edition-t2943330 . Hope i help in any way!:D
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] Harvey02:
Where can I download the latest build of cm12 from? I can't seem to find a download link.. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] Koohara947:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934543823 there you go!:D Don't forget you need a custom recovery which can also be found at that website!
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] Harvey02:
Thanks so much! Do I need to flash this with Odin or I can do it with twrp directly from the phone? Either way how would I flash it?
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] :
Flash with TWRP on the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] Harvey02:
Thanks! I cleared my dalvik and cache and then flashed the ROM and it took a while for my phone to load up. When it finally did I got many errors such as 'settings has crashed and must close' and so on.. What did I do wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] Planterz:
Not sure if this is the cause of your problems, but when you first set up the phone, make sure you're not restoring anything from your Google account. It might try to restore settings and/or apps from Samsung's firmware that aren't appropriate for CM.
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] Harvey02:
Thanks for your help. This is what I did.. I cleared the cache dalvik and system data then installed the ROM then cleared the cache and dalvik then before exiting twrp I installed the latest gapps light version then cleared cache and dalvik once more. I then rebooted the phone and it successfully booted up! I'm not sure if I needed all those steps but it worked. I can confirm that this ROM(C12) is much smoother than the stock ROM and is pretty stable. The only issues I've had so far was Google maps which causes soft reboot and the camera app which doesn't save photos. I installed a 3rd party camera app and disabled the internal one and it now works. Thanks so much dev!
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] chapsushi:
Set GPS to device-only. Navigation and maps works flawlessly for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] Harvey02:
Thanks for the tip but I tried that and it still soft resets the phone.Also I've noticed that some other apps for example Torque soft reset the phone when launched. Is there any log file I can look at after the phone crashes to see what is causing it? Also every time I turn on the phone a screen comes up that says "updating android... Loading apps.." is that normal? I never got that with kitkat.. Thanks!!

Hi guys,

Due to the fact that my phone kept on crashing, i performed a reset to factory settings. Now my phone doesn't even load up.. the phone starts to load and then the twrp menu loading screen comes up and doesn't load.. Also, i tried booting the phone in flash/Odin mode and Odin mode loads properly, however the computer doesn't recognize the phone. i tried re installing the Samsung drivers but nothing works.

pleas help me.. Thanks!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] Planterz:
Development started with 4.4.4/CM11, but when 5.0/CM12 came out, development shifted to the newer version.
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] eliandavidgomez:
: Risa:a good and understand : D anxious to come out and cyanogenmod 12 thanks :)
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] eliandavidgomez:
haha I spend my look is simple you put the phone in recovery and connect to the PC the driver installation process to install expect and when finished there if you get into download mode and enter the Odin and must appear and must admit :) : O
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] kireflow90:
I followed the steps on how to install the recovery via Odin 3.09 and it said pass and everything. So why didnt it install?

UPDATE: I got it working. I had to uncheck the box that said restart when done or whatever it says. Then I booted right into recovery and it worked this time. Hopefully it stays lol. Now just making a nandroid backup and will be trying the new rom :)
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] eliandavidgomez:
as you did so you do not give restarts I just tore me set my T399 restarted the software could help me : D
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] kireflow90:
gapps

Where do I download the latest gapps? Do I need this to install this ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] KageBeast:
Should I install this?

So I've been thinking about installing this but I'm just not sure because of the bugs it still has. Can anyone tell me exactly how stable the latest build is? Like is anybody experiencing random force closes and reboots? I know the main problems are something with gps that causes soft reboots that can be fixed by setting it to device only, and something about calling issues and the default camera not saving pictures? I know cm has always had problem with call sound/volume. I just wanna know all the current bugs and fixes if there are any others.
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] kireflow90:
love it

Now that I got it completely working without any problems I love this ROM. Its amazing! Honestly once those last few kinks are worked out I don't think anyone would even notice that its not native to this phone

UPDATE: my google play movies app won't open and neither will newest Netflix app. I had to roll it back to 8.1.1 I think
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] KageBeast:
I installed this last night and so far no major problems. I set my location setting to battery saving instead of device only and I've gotten no reboots or anything so far.No problems with incoming or outgoing calls. I had a problem with play movies & tv constantly force closing but I don't use that app anyways so I just uninstalled. I'll keep it installed for a week just to see how I really like it, but yeah get those tiny kinks worked out and this rom is good to go!
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] kireflow90:
google play movies and tv

Has anyone found a fix for this? I really want to use it but it crashes everytime
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] Clancyjr29:
reboots

I've tried everything to get this rom to stop rebooting.. No matter what i do every thirty seconds or so it reboots.. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] DMedina559:
Put GPS to battery saver off off completely
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] Clancyjr29:
Thanks for the quick response DMedina. I'll try it out asap.
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] JerryForChrist:
Is there a new build out?
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] kireflow90:
Not yet that I know of. March 19th build is the last one
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] JerryForChrist:
I have a mic issue with that build do you have a fix
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] _PAG_:
Good rom
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] Clancyjr29:
root??

I read a little bit of info about a root method but there wasn't too much discussion on it. Is there a root or am I just asking a really ignorant question
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] kireflow90:
Actually on this ROM under developer options the sixth option down you can enable root access
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] :
Is this being tested on the Metro PCS model of the Galaxy Light?

Just wondering because i am sick and tired of my stock touch wiz rom always being slow and using too much ram and freezing alot. feel free to pm me.
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] kireflow90:
You were just wondering what?
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] KageBeast:
Well they're the same phone just on different networks. Also if you're have freezing problems on the stock rom than something is wrong with your phone. Mine never freezes.
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] :
Well usually mine only freezes because i run out of ram and i use apps that use alot of memory and standard root tweaks only improve it a little.
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] KageBeast:
Well there you go. Knowing the limitations of the phone you should give up some apps that use a lot of memory.
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] :
The main memory user is touchwiz

Sent from my rooted Metro PCS Samsung Galaxy Light (SGH-T399N) on Android 4.4.2 Stock.
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] KageBeast:
If you mean the launcher try converting it to a user app. That apparently frees up some memory.
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] :
I meant to say ram

Sent from my rooted Metro PCS Samsung Galaxy Light (SGH-T399N) on Android 4.4.2 Stock.
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] Clancyjr29:
So exactly what is the best method for installing this ROM.. The process in recovery i should say. Ive made a back up of what i have now and have tried pretty much every way i can think of to correctly install but seems like no matter how i do it after a few minutes of running the thing my phone starts messing up. Freezing. Rebooting. Any ideas would be much appreciated... Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] kireflow90:
Have you changers yours GPS settings to deck only?
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] Clancyjr29:
Yes. Ive tried everything that is mentioned... I figure I'm installing something out of order.. Maybe not clearing the right things first.. I have no ideas. Maybe I'll just throw this phone in the garbage and try something else.. Either that or learn to cook my own ROMS
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] kireflow90:
You should have flashed TWRP via Odin, then boot into recovery, do full wipe, install ROM zip, then install gapps zip. Restart the phone and set GPS and it should work after that. It did take me a few times of doing this before mine decided to work but it does now and very few issues
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] JerryForChrist:
fix??

is there a microphone fix for unjustified 5.0 rom.... and is there another 5.0 custom rom out for the t399 or the t399N?
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] kireflow90:
Microphone fix? Do you have the latest version?
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] DJBoxer:
Please list the way your flashing including what twrp version you have and also what gapp version also did you change GPS to device only and off ?
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] KageBeast:
This is the only lollipop rom for our phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] kireflow90:
Yes only one
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] Clancyjr29:
Yeah I figured it out.. I was flashing the HD graphics driver zip after I flashed the ROM and gaaps.. Works great now that I left it out ..the graphics zip that is.. Thanks guys for the quick responses. Appreciate all the hard work
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] JerryForChrist:
what graphics zip and did flashing it fix the mic problem on the rom?
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] KageBeast:
He said not flashing it fixed it.
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] aka.petteri:
Galaxy Light problem

I have a problem with this phone. I have full signal bars, sometimes it drops by one bar, but it keeps

searching for a carrier. The phone is unlocked, I live in Romania. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] chapsushi:
Sounds like a carrier/network issue. The only issued I've had with network connectivity (happened about 5 times using this build for 3 months) is waking from sleep and I have no tower connection. Toggling airplane mode always fixed it.
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] _PAG_:
Are you still doing developing on this?

Sim Card Not Detected

Hello,

I am using the Metro PCS, unlocked, using T-Mobile. I have flashed the latest version (March 19) and installed Gapps (http://xdaforums.com/android/software/gapps-google-apps-minimal-edition-t2943330)

Everything seems to be working, except the Sim card is not detected.

Any help with this issue would be appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] bdl_401:
If you're using T-Mobile you need to flash the T-Mobile radio. And if you're use MetroPCS service you are going to want to flash the MetroPCS radio.
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] Mustapha21:
I've searched and searched but I am not finding the T-Mobile radio, do you know where I could find it?

EDIT: Nevermind I found the T-Mobile radio, all is well. Thanks!

Lost Network Connection

Hi everyone, after flash cm-12-20150319-UNOFFICIAL-gardalte to my phone I lost the IMEI and dont have network access. I flashed with twrp I follow all steps. I made a backup of EFS and modem.bin folder but when a restore the problems continuos. Someone can help with this problem?
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] michel0303:
We must help Unjust

Hello everyone . A few days ago I asked if Unjust ROM would continue working on this phone, but unfortunately does not have the means to continue working on the ROM.

We are always wondering whether to continue. but we never asked how we can help

I live in Cuba and do not have as a donation that he needs to continue working. but I'm sure many of us can help .

Please if anyone can help do so. Unjust ashamed to ask for the donation and someone would make sure to enjoy this phone as a ROM Unjust

Unjust behavior please forgive me for doing this but I think we should help and not ask much more a more fot stable version .

Regards Mike
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] josh2020glacier:
The question is how much does he need cause im down just to get a fully working cm
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] _PAG_:
There are only like 4 major bugs. The gps, camera ,etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] michel0303:
I agree. this 4 and something came in a way.

I am here CUBA and have sold many mobile model that many of us need a better ROM. Unjust and has the best rom so far. If we live here in Cuba we could help sure would.
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] _PAG_:
Yeah this device should have some more development. The only developers that worked on this were Unjustified Dev, [MENTION=4721083]@root@[/MENTION], and Android Admirer
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] Planterz:
And shabbypenguin. Without his original root, I wouldn't have got this phone and would have had to suffer with something old and without LTE like an old S2 or something. The only LTE T-Mobile phones at that time were flagships that I couldn't afford, and since I need LTE (my phone is my home internet), the rooted Galaxy Light was my only choice.

My Light is on its last legs I think. It seems to prefer HSPA+ a lot over LTE, despite having T-Mobile equipment on top of my apartment building, and occasionally I have to cycle Airplane Mode to refresh my connection because no data is coming in. I can't complain, as I've definitely abused this phone, and it has saved me hundreds of dollars not needing cable internet. I'm waiting for the Avant to go on a deep sale again (a couple weeks ago a brand new one was only $100), at which time I may move on. It's a better phone, has AOKP, and an ever-improving custom kernel. If it comes to that, I might just donate (or at least lend) my old Light to a developer, if that's what's needed to get things going for the rest of you.
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] _PAG_:
Well yes, but I was talking about rom developers. ShabbyPenguin was very jhelpful in getting us TWRP and also root. Without him we would probably be nowhere.
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] michel0303:
We talk to Unjust and try to help. I can not believe that for only $ 30 we can not have a good ROM that serves us all that we have this terminal.

---------- Post added at 04:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:40 PM ----------

I imagine there are many people who are waiting for this phone to come out good for the ROM. The stock rom 4.2.2 and is almost out Android M and still waiting. If I lived in the USA I would kneel before Unjust to finish the ROM
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] josh2020glacier:
So been using this ROM all day. The latest cm build of coarse. Didn't know if anyone was aware of this bug.

Turn screen brightness all the way down then turn on battery saver the screen goes black. Literally black got lucky to get back on.

Just a heads up.

Other than that rim is nice very nice
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] bdl_401:
It's probably now a waist of time to even root this phone. Now there's no hope left for the phone. Cyanogenmod needs to work on this phone directly he would be able to push out more nightlies faster.
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] josh2020glacier:
Data should have worked just cant make call on that cm12 biuld.......and as of right now that is the only cyanogmod we have right now. Give few days and i think the dev will have the cm12 fixed he is persistent. Lol
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] chapsushi:
Yeah, it was a big problem that I didn't have LTE data working. Was there a network provider setting that I needed to add? Anyway, I can be patient, after all is said and done. :p
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] josh2020glacier:
No i just wipe dalvik, cache, system, and data (not sdcard) and all was good just couldnt make calls. Try again boot let settle them reboot recovery wipe dalvik and cache and fix permission. See if that works for you. Always make sure you have back up of current rom
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] chapsushi:
OK, did the flash again with gapps 5.0. Booted into CM12 and setup was pretty flawless. However, no SIM detected, no cellular data.

Rebooted in to TWRP and wiped dalvik, wiped cache and fixed permissions.

Rebooted into boot animation, which pretty much appeared to be stuck (waited almost 10 minutes).

Gave up on that.

Flashed again.

Rebooted into TWRP and just fixed permissions.

Rebooted in to what appears to be a stuck animation again.

Sigh.
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] josh2020glacier:
My bad bro sorry your having such bad luck not a big deal you will love it do much that its a tease might as well wait for a better build. Data works cant make any phone calls anyways. You will only be on it a few minutes then flash back. Try to flash with out gapps. Just to get a taste of it. Sorry again for your luck
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] chapsushi:
Ah, no need to apologize! Yeah, it was honestly pretty close to perfect (I don't make calls anyway). Gapps and wifi and almost everything I need to make it a daily driver was there. So, I definitely got a good taste of what's to come. TWRP worked perfectly o restore my daily driver ROM. . . so, no harm no foul.
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] smac0628:
I flashed this last night. Flashed perfect. Did not flash gapps. As one poster said calls do not work. I too had to manually enable LTE. Data worked but only HSPA as I am using this unlocked on an AT&T mvno. Will use as my daily driver when calls are working.

On a side note does anyone know if there is a twrp flashable rom available? I need something as I broke the stock rom and did not back up. Ooops.
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] chapsushi:
Thanks for the info, and sorry that you don't have a stock TWRP backup. I'd give you mine, but it's kind of personal. :p

So, you mention that you have to manually enable LTE....do you mean manually enable DATA in general, or 3G --> 4G (LTE)?

The reason I ask is because I've tried flashing with and without gapps, neither have data working, off the bat. May I ask you for the exact method of manually enabling data?
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] smac0628:
I used *#*#4636#*#* in the dialer went to phone settings and changed it to lte/gsm(prl) then the three dot menu in the upper right I clicked that and then clicked enable data connection. Once you go back to system settings under networks it will say LTE but if you click it your only options are 2g or 3g. I had to select the apn for att.mvno. I am on h20 using this phone unlocked.
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] chapsushi:
Thank you very much for this information! I'm a bit surprised that one would have to go through such manual steps when it would appear the other testers had data working right off the bat. :( I'm on T-Mobile.
[Samsung Galaxy Light Questions & Answers] smac0628:
I am on an ATT mvno so I expect to jump through hoops. I may have data enabled if I just select the right APN. I didn't try it that way at first. I do know though that in the networks menu I did not have a LTE option only 2g or 3g. That's why I used the dialer to access that other menu.

Hope that sheds some light.
