Problems with Lollipop

Hello! I'm having a problem here, and probably one that I've overlooked the solution to.

I am currently unable to get a keyboard to appear on my S3 with this ROM installed. Whenever I click on a textbox (for example, the WiFi Password box, or the username and password login for Google), nothing happens and no keyboard appears.

I have put an APK file for Google Keyboard on my phone from another device, installed it, and no luck. Still no keyboard. Trying to change some settings in the Input section of the Settings Menu doesn't help either.

Extra Info:

I had the Official CM11 i9300 ROM installed before this, so I believe I am using the 'stock' kernel. I afterwards took a backup, factory resetted, and then installed this ROM. After that, I installed GAPPS 5.0 (the file name: gapps-lp-20141109-signed). I have yet to install the 2G/3G fix.

If you're not sure what's happening, I can try installing your ROM again after a factory reset, without installing GAPPS?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I had the same ROM that u , Official CM11, and i dont had any problem what so ever with this 5.0 upgrade.

Never touch the kernel.

Read up post for my steps, works great!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Jamboozlez:
Solution!

Nevermind! I stumbled upon this really useful thread, full of all the tips and tricks for this ROM! It told me about enabling 'Hardware' in the keyboard settings. I reccomend everyone else having problems gives it a quick read! :)

PS. Sorry for the double post - I couldn't find the edit button.

so as for now battery drain is quite big, once i manage to change few setting as mention in post before it helps a bit, but not too much ,i also notice that google services keep the devices awake and thus helping to drain battery too and drain my mobile data limit, and when it is stopped like putting a restriction via setting ->> data usage ->> restrict app data, it does help to keep my battery a bit better.

BTW i have murata chip, i suffer from the same problem with WiFi. the issues was that wifi never manage to stay on , it was switching on and off few time before it stayed on. and the second and most important issue it didnt connect to router.

i was watching the connection and it said poor connection....i seen few pages ago... that someone said it was a problem like alpha2 build, and i tried again with the device simply on the router and guess what....when i turn wifi on.. it said connecting. and i have wifi working....BUT....still once you get even as 3 inches far from router, the conncetion fails..wifi stays on and signal icon show close to full signal....but still it cannot do anything just like there is a poor connection.

here is a logcat that i manage to produce via terminal on device hope it helps
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kijuz80:
This not work for me. The only action that works is: turn off WiFi and reboot. Then wakelock and WiFi in battery stats disappear.

So, if with this action the problem disappear, i think this is a bug.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] FadeFx:
I think ril is now working, but still far from correct. It takes way too long to ask for a pin after boot, and that the mobile data icon does not disapear when wifi connects looks to me like either ril or modem is somewhat busy.

Wifi works well for me, but that was expected due to semco chip.

What i have issues with currently is osmonitor, it just doesnt work and ocassionally all running services and foreground apps just close silently, i then need to reboot. However, this could be my fault from dirty flashing.

Dude... Wow... You look like a child. Don't you think that if there was a fix for the wifi a beta 1 build already would be out? It's the problem, they are trying to fix the wifi for murata, because semcosh works good. You have to wait not yelling like a child for a fix. They aren't your parents or something like that.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] eskorpiao112:
It's because you have a murata wifi module.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] cliffordd:
You are in the wrong thread then and just confusing people.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Svartsyn333:
He is not only in the wrong thread but also stating false information. WiFi still isn't 100% properly working on Murata MAC addresses!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] superchandan007:
There is option in settings/buttons.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] drky:
I realized I was in the wrong thread that why I deleted it,but the info is not false my WiFi is working perfect without lock screen reboot.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Moster2:
That reboot can either be fixed be disabling the bcmdhd hal or by changing wifi in the kernel from module to built in.

Problem is: disabling bcmdhd - not a good solution, since we actually have a bcmdhd wifi module.

2nd problem is: making wifi built in causes other problem, for example with murata chips...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Svartsyn333:
And others are still stating they got wifi errors with Murata. So just because it is working for you doesn't mean it is working for everyone. I'm glad I don't have Murata MAC address but it's only fixed if it works for everyone.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cliffordd:
I installed the latest built and run into the wifi problem. For me this makes my phone usable, so I reverted back to the Alpha 4 on the original post. I didn't stay long enough on the latest built to notice battery performance, but I am interested to hear how other testers are finding it? From reading, Android 5.0.1 was a fix for some battery performance issues?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] devaraja:
I'm on the 12/18 build my chip is not murata, WiFi is working fine but 2 or 3 times a day all my saved network got deleted. Anyone having this issue?

Yep, my sim was blocked too on nameless. Should be some RIL problems. Went to the phonestore en got a new sim. For free..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] justforreply:
It happens because sim lock is enabled!

You need to deactivate sim lock before install the rom!

[Galaxy S III Android Development] eskorpiao112:
Dude, i saw a video of the rom. Working amazingly well! Our galaxy s3 it's so alive! Loving this ;D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
It barely boots :p. ROM is totally unusable at the moment, definitely not for daily use, and it's more like an alpha preview of lollipop for i9300 rather than a completed project. Nobody said that we'll be able to fix remaining bugs.

It's very important to note that at the moment it's very hard to tell a difference if a bug is caused by a non-working component, CM derp, pre-alpha state of the CM, or otherwise. CM dropped everything they made so far, to start from "clean" AOSP tree, hence, there's nearly nothing "CMish", even if ROM is in fact compiled from CM sources.

IT WILL NEED TIME, and by time I mean LOTS OF IT, because even if CM fixes their stuff, fixing exynos4 derps are hard, and nobody of us is experienced enough to assure you that we eventually do it That's why you should stop asking for fixes, and instead, thank us that we made it that far.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] eskorpiao112:
With all the work of the developers this soon will be a beta rom. Use the help of nameless :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
I asked about the link to the RIL stuff, nobody replied, because it's not available on their github.

And if something is not available, it's closed source. If it's closed source, we can't take it, learn anything from it, and fix our stuff. I won't beg anyone for opening their repo or pointing me at the right commits, working on that is my hobby, not a work. I have better things to do :).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] eskorpiao112:
That's a shame. Samsung made a closed source SoC and look what she and us got... That just an example.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] eatsleep:
And they are having problem with simlock, so this RIL fix is not a proper fix..... We can just wait until this thing gets sorted out :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Giobio:
In your opinion and skill, do you think Lollipop will be ported on I9100 too?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] eskorpiao112:
If the developers of your phone port it.. So yes.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Giobio:
I asked because I read the exynos could be a problem for Lollipop. But if S3 could, I think and hope S2 too.

Someone will port it, I imagine....
[Galaxy S III Android Development] eskorpiao112:
Yea. Samsung it's a bad brand. She doesn't care with the consumers, only with their sales.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xenixas:
things could be more simple is manufactorys provide once source with drivers like :) I imangine that you just take os put there drivers and boot it (like pc) lol but there is more troubles :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Lukijs:
You're asking in wrong place, gtfo to S2 thread
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Zwulf:
Don't mind about that - it's only "half" a fix. Only calls work, no data connection. So it still needs to be fixed, even for Nameless... ;)

But I really find it sad that there is no reaction from them...

Okay....found another problem...the recorded audio seems to be really distorted and unclear...tried it with a lot of other audio recording apps...same result...the sad part is I've experienced this type of mic distortion in every 4.4.x AOSP ROM I used...it doesn't seem to be in Samsung ROMs...only AOSP...it would be a huge letdown if this bug or whatever this is were to be in Lollipop also...Really hope the developers get this fixed as this affects both sound and video recordings... :confused: :(

Some feedback that I've not seen anyone talk about

I had a gallery problem on the last Moster2 build using the stock gallery app, it simply couldn't get my old medias, only the ones obtained with the ROM shows up.

Also, media process causes wakelock, I don't know if it's related.

For those having bad battery life, try force closing or greenifying the "media" process, my phone is lasting for 12h with bad batteries after I've done it, and apart from the known Wifi bug that causes it to turn on and off a couple times before working (I don't have Murata), everything seems fine =)

Thanks guys, this is the best experience I've ever had with my S3. Transitions, opening and closing apps, scrolling, everything seems to be much smoother than my experience with AOSP JB/KK. It feels like a different phone.

And if it's useful for someone wondering, I came from Temasek last build. And was using Temasek roms since last year. Flashed with Philz (Archi's Phillz) after a full wipe. I didn't flash over cm11 like some suggested, worked on the first try and booted in 2~ minutes.

I'm from 4.3 Jellybean. Today i rooted and decided to flash it. Then I flashed latest TWRP, and wipe data, cache, system, dalwik cache, and internal mem also(Full wipe), then I selected the zip and gapps. After installation, I got bootloop. Then finally I flashed also "arter97-kernel-4.0-beta1", then it booted. But no startup screens and no statusbar. How can I install this rom on my S3? Pls anyone give me a detailed guide?

Thanks in advance

which Cm 12 version have you flashed?

cm-12-20141218?

try to flash Cm11 first

then only format system

dirty flash CM12

gapps

wipe chache/davlik/art

reboot wait 2-3 min
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Scorpionea:
For now just to be safe

Full wipe (normal wipe in twrp) then install cm11 nightly after it boots install alpha 4 + gapps without wipe anything :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Lil Geeky:
The current solution if you are talking about alpha 4 Is :

full wipe

flash cm11 "any build no problem"

reboot system and skip all setup

reboot recovery

flash cm12 alpha4 & gapps & root

reboot

Enjoy , Please next time use search in thread feature "Bootloop"
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Vishnu pv:
