Awesome ROM

I am using this ROM since Alpha 3 and now its Weekly 2. After updating weekly my phone is supper smooth now and i also like the new boot animation. I would like to thanks the DEV who worked hard for this 3 years old device. Special thanks to [MENTION=5161352]JustArchi[/MENTION] @ Moster2 [MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION] [MENTION=2875964]dhiru1602[/MENTION] and all other Developer to keep our old device keep alive. :cowboy: :o :laugh: :good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] GlenV:
I can't replicate issue 1 in Weekly2 release. Are you using Weekly 2 release and does it still occur?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
We could try and figure where the problem really is and then stop if the problem is really kernel related.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] EP21:
Or we could direct him to the source and make sure it gets fixed for all (as we did but you're refusing).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
I just asked [MENTION=947981]Lord Boeffla[/MENTION] and he says it mightn't be an issue related to the kernel.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] glockaki:
i use boeflla kernel and an app called pimpmyrom to tweak some things.you have to leave the rom to settle and do 3 full recharge cycles before change kernel.thats my advise.

i use 3rd party music app.Music Folder.you can try other apps also.just tryied my bt sound box without probs also.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] tokict:
Actually I didn't report bug sir. I just asking about that issue is that kernel fault or rom fault. If it's kernel fault it's fine. I will use another music player.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] AbhimanyuGarg:
Awsumm ROM. Smooth and stable now

Thanks [MENTION=5161352]JustArchi[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4604352]Moster2[/MENTION] for the superb work you have done for this old device. Have been following this thread since the Lollipop release and I installed this ROM on my Samsung I9300 and must say it is very stable and smooth.

Please keep up the great work and hats off to you guys. :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Scorpionea:
using latest weekly 2

there is still issue with flashlight (if you turn on flashlight) when the screen goes off it will also turn off after few seconds (for about 5 sec)

i know its not moster2 fault,but cm problem..

can give logcat if needed
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Fenomeno-Tony:
The first two links don't work anymore to download the rom and 4shared wants my social media profile. Can somebody upload the rom again :) thnx
[Galaxy S III Android Development] HitFan:
Is CWM in this ROM's kernel?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] thearc77:
Mega and G Drive works flawless here.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Fenomeno-Tony:
I get the mention that the file is downloaded too often. Probably depending on your location?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] tennissand:
You must wipe Cache and Dalvik but none of your data will be gone...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] HitFan:
Installing ROM after choosing 'install zip from sdcard' in CWM i see only two times '

detected filesystem ext4 for /dev/block/mmcblk0p9

And says script

script succeeded: result was [0.200000]

and then install from sdcard completed. But it is too fast for installing ROM. What's wrong?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Scorpionea:
nothing is wrong,this is how it goes with installing lolipop (rom will be installed in abouth 30-40 sec)

don't worry its normal :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] HitFan:
Uff, okay. Is in this ROM CWM?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Scorpionea:
what u mean by that?? this is pure CyanogenMod 12 if u asking that.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] disidisruptor:
First of all thank you very much guys for keeping the S3 alive with your awesome ROM!

I own my device since 2 years now (still not rooted and with TouchWiz) and since Android Lollipop was released I made the decision to switch to your ROM.

My question is:

Will my phone contacts, settings and apps be “reseted” (reset to factory settings) every time I install the newest version of the ROM?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] tennissand:
No, only the first time when you should do a Clean Install (Factory Reset, Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik, Wipe System, [Wipe internal/external SD).. after that you can do a dirty flash to update your ROM (only wipe cache and dalvik) and all your settings, apps and data will be there.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Scorpionea:
Only if u make full wipe,if u install this build for example and new build is released in few days u will only need to wipe cache and dalvink so your data will be safe (apps,music,videos) after u flash new build..(its also called dirty flash) in general we all use dirty flash and only full wipe is recommened and must if u go to different rom by different developer

if u made backup/syinc of your contacts via google it will be restored after u install rom. :fingers-crossed::)

[MENTION=6288410]tennissand[/MENTION] u have been faster then me :P,but we have same view
[Galaxy S III Android Development] straylight23:
Nope currently they don't. G-Drive says "has been downloaded too often - wait 24 hours" and Mega just throws a temporary error of some kind. 4shared is unusable anonymously...

Any mirrors on androidfilehost or similar?

TIA
[Galaxy S III Android Development] thearc77:
Or your ISP.

From my S3
[Galaxy S III Android Development] gamerjim:
Emergency Call Only

I done a full wipe and flash weekly 2, everything was fine in the beginning. But after some time my phone can't read the sim card.. it's stated emergency call only n no service.. I restore my nandroid backup of previous version also to no avail.. lastly resort to flash back stock rom via odin.. anybody experience similar problem?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ilnessuno4691:
Hi, sorry but what do you mean with "and maybe even support CM12 officially"? i don't understood......:confused:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] dkonect:
It's unofficial rom
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Stevica Smederevac:
Does this rom has network speed indicators? Someone mentioned that it doesn't but that was 1 or 2 builds ago.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] HitFan:
How can I update CWM recovery to newer? On it I cannot install gapps ;x
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MORADESSA:

3.flash light off when device go sleep (screen off)

4.cant connect to camera sometimes maybe after flash usage

5.lag when entering dial pad

lulzactiveq was improved battery a bit
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Naveed Abbas:
Flash latest version of twrp 2.8.4.0 instead.....!!!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Scorpionea:
if u get error with gapps u need newer recovery like TWRP or Philz ect,well u can update your recovery by odin or downloading flashable zip and then flash in recovery

I use and only use TWRP cuz its always up to date and recommened by many devs :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] HitFan:
Will backup made by CWM recovery work in Team Win Recovery Project?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] EzerchE:
How can i remove the keys on the bottom
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Naveed Abbas:
No.......
[Galaxy S III Android Development] EzerchE:
Actually i dont know how its came, with the weekly 2 update or did i installed or set something...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] flither:
Good job [MENTION=4604352]Moster2[/MENTION] & [MENTION=5161352]JustArchi[/MENTION]!

And good job CM12 team for new all shiny bootanimation! Unfortunately I'll not be able to see the next great builds from you guys, my eyes got irreversibly burned ;)

Also never had such good battery life (since alphas), got over 4h SOT with 40% battery left playing simple 2D game (battery is 2.5yo) , offline, no Gapps. I think that's hwc is kicking in. Thats' on the awesomest side :good:

I cannot really see any reason for selling/trashing my s3. Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] baaldips:
Root Superuser

Guys can I have root permission in this ROM?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sizzlingtycoon:
Hey mate,

Thanks for the info.

Am an end-user & not any developer.

I think these might help:

1. I had the same problem with the in-built browser. Am now using CHROME and it helps quite a lot and no-more flickering. :victory:

2. You can try any 3rd party msgng app for this, I personally like Evolve Sms. Also, to bring down the memory consumption, i used ES-File Explorer to navigate to the /system/priv-app/ and deleted the original messaging app. ;)

3. The flashlight issue has been persistent for me since the Beta builds, again the Tiny Flashlight App helps. ;)

4. Actually, i dont have the Front Camera option with the built-in Camera app, So, used the CameraNextV5.APK to click pics, but then have to restart the device if i ever turned the Front Camera ON.

(Bonus suggestion: CameraNextV5.apk is a ported/modded Camera app from the mighty OnePlus One device and is optimized for some really impressive Low-Light performance, linking it in the description for anyone wanting it)

:highfive::good:

Credits to the developer of this really cool app :o, don't know who :rolleyes: but, my best wishes for him. :good: :)

5. Never had any such lag, so, no comments on that. :rolleyes:

Plz press that very old "THANKS" button. Quite a vintage one that is, which a very few have the taste of, SO, BE ONE OF THEM. :silly::D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
Check in Settings>Buttons
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sizzlingtycoon:
Really amazed to see this. Actually, never found this option since the first release and the very recent Weekly 1 update. Have been dying for this.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] EzerchE:
I figured out how its came, its because i installed pimpmyrom beta. I removed it and buttons gone.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Scorpionea:
Tap build number in about phone 7 times (to enable DO)

Go to developer options>>root access>>apps

Or flash supersu via recovery
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sizzlingtycoon:
Ohh... Hmmm...

Can u link it here plz, sounds good for me.

Also, any improvements with that mod?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JL94x4:
For some reason this rom is really laggy and things take a long while to open. For example, if someone sends me a message on facebook messenger i receive the notification a while later, once clicking the message it takes about a minute for messenger to open the conversation, same with most apps, chrome/play store/whatsapp/xbox smartglass all suffer this too..

Is it just me??
[Galaxy S III Android Development] adilfarazaky:
Just ask.. Why u named this update "weekly"?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Prasath.B:
Please use the search function, it is already explained in the thread. Please don't ask such questions. Search and if you don't get then please ask.

It will be tougher for people following the thread to go through all the pages to know what is happening when there is an update or some solution proposed for fixes.

---------- Post added at 05:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:51 PM ----------

There is no lag and if you have installed the ROM newly, just wait for it to settle down. We all had initial lags (can't call it lags since that is the usual time the ROM will take to settle down) but it is going at great guns now.

---------- Post added at 05:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:53 PM ----------

Below is the link from playstore

https://play.google.com/store/search?q=Pimpmyrom

Request to search for an app if specified in playstore or in xda forums.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JL94x4:
Im still on weekly 1, had it for the last week and its always been laggy :good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Prasath.B:
That is strange

As an alternative may be you can do a factory reset or install custom kernel like boeffla to check. Before doing this just try with pimpmyrom, it had options to change settings of RAM, Processor or you may try something similar.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ZeeX:
[MENTION=5161352]JustArchi[/MENTION]

Is this built with your ArchiDroid optimizations? The O3 flag?

If not why?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] xenixas:
LAG

what I hear?!!!leave a rom to setle down? :D is it watter? it's bugs no reason to say it's not buggy. Now it's sounds like I have installed my pc and it's laggy, so I let it settle down for a year, now it's ok runing like a charm ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Thomas Jr:
CM theme app not showing installed themes.

CM theme app is not showing list of installed themes on latest weekly build of 26-01-2015
[Galaxy S III Android Development] RoelD92:
No problems here. Are you sure the theme installed correctly?

The theme manager should give you a notification as well. Not just the play store/packageinstaller
[Galaxy S III Android Development] flykthewiz:
Absolutely you are correct the Rom does not need to settle down, it either works or it doesn't.

The only thing that needs to settle is battery use and that has nothing to do with the Rom it is to do with how much we use the new Rom playing and testing things. After a couple of days we have settled down, not the Rom.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Scorpionea:
I have already reported abouth this issue

It works for some themes..everyone has this issue not just i9300 its cm issue.

Try installing few apk themes and u will see
[Galaxy S III Android Development] RoelD92:
It's actually not buggy. Most, if not all, people complaining about lags or bugs did not perform a full wipe (system, data, cache, dalvik) before flashing the first cm12 build (after that, dirty flashing should work). Or people think they can just go back and forth between this ROM and temsaek/Nameless/resurrection/(insert rom here) without having to wipe a single thing. If you want a true lagfree experience, wipe.

Aditionally, there are a lot of people here complaining about lags or crashes, when they use a custom kernel like Arter97/Boeffla/Archikernel. Guess what: 98% of those crashes are related to kernel.

The setteling however is a real thing, but is doesn't really apply to the ROM per se but it does matter for kernels. (i think).

---------- Post added at 19:08 ---------- Previous post was at 19:06 ----------

Already did. Installed around 8 themes (all from play store) and have had 0 problems with it. I just immediatly removed it because i think Lollipop doesn't really require a theme :D.

Could also be failing because of an incompatible theme of course.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Scorpionea:
I have also installed about 5 themes from play store and they show up,only one didn't I think was rust

Then manually downloaded few themes from XDA as apk and they don't show up..only in subsection of theme manager but not in theme pack
[Galaxy S III Android Development] RoelD92:
Well that could be a bug, or intended behaviour. It is quite possible that a theme needs to have a certain set of resources themed for it to show in the pack section. Anything less will just be distributed over the subsections.

But i could be wrong on that one. Could also very well be a bug in CM indeed.

I haven't tried xda themes yet.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] lorocignetti:

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Fratelloamico:
Little issues

Why did you change drawer grid size from 6x4 to 5x4? Icons are too big.

If I open history browser, it shows bookmarks. Please fix it.

Thanks a lot.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] RoelD92:
The grid size was changed on CM's side. If you use the Trebuchet launcher (Default CM launcher instead of Google Now launcher), you can adjust the grid size.

The browser thing i can confirm (stock browser), however that will have to be fixed by CM. They nuked a lot of features in the lollipop browser. I think that will be added in the long run. along with incognito mode etc.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Fratelloamico:
Now I set a custom grid size (6x4) but it change desktop grid size too. Before there was drawer grid size 6x4 and desktop grid size 5x4. But it isn't a big problem. Thanks for the answer.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Yeti47:
Have you tried my reply to you yet? If a theme only supplies a style, it will not be shown in the main theme packs screen as it used to, you have to select style from the menu. Then it can be seen and selected....
[Galaxy S III Android Development] AbhimanyuGarg:
Gallery albums showing blank thumbnails

Has anyone faced this issue that when you open any album in Gallery, you find many blank thumbnails between photos and when you open them blank image is shown.

This is a bug i suppose but no one in this thread has reported as such. Anyone seen the same?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Yeti47:
I often get that when I change ROM. Clean data from MediaStorage and reboot. It will refresh media on reboot and all will be well. Note you will have to set your phone and message tones, but that's it. ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Scorpionea:
OK I just downloaded Rust theme from play store (for testing only) it did install correctly and in upper left corner it shows its been loaded in theme manager,then when I click on that upper left icon it will show like on this screenshot,but if don't select it and press back button and enter theme manager again it will not be shown in manager only in subsection...

Please no more themes talk all day lol..I'm going crazy hehe??

[MENTION=5006097]RoelD92[/MENTION]u are right man,who knows maybe it's not bug but new standard for creating themes..will see in next build
[Galaxy S III Android Development] potkan19:
SD Card

After install weekly 1 or weekly 2 with stock kernel i can't mount SD card. In menu > storage is only internal memory and button mount sd card do nothing :eek: any solution?? Thanx
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Scorpionea:
Lolipop supports or rom actually only fat32 or exfat format.maybe that is why u can't do nothing? ?

Edit:I didn't know that,thanks for additional info [MENTION=4604352]Moster2[/MENTION] ?

Hey, sorry if it is a stupid question, but is there no way to get a .zip of this ROM that I can flash? I looked at this building thing and i'm afraid it's far too complex for me.

Thanks a lot for the job done.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] flykthewiz:
Yes, the links are in the very first post of this thread

Regarding that wifi disconnect while the device sleeps.

This time I allow you to talk about other kernels. Can anyone with Boeffla or ArchiKernel report if it also happens there?

The wifi drivers have different patches/versions there.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ivano949:
Works fine with Boeffla. No disconnection at all...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] fcaronte:
+1 with boeffla too

tapatalked from lollipopped i9300
[Galaxy S III Android Development] AndroidDeveloperLB:
Unless the lock screen itself would change, this is impossible using the normal APIs . Starting with Lollipop, Google has replaced lock screen widgets with notifications only.

Wish I knew how to modify the code of CM (or any other rom), build and run it. I would add a lot of features that people might have wanted.

Using archidroid's Roms for a while I had never really luck with the stock kernel. I got always a better experience with boeffla
[Galaxy S III Android Development] columbo025:
this rom is great thanks for your hard work:cyclops:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] -=|MisterY|=-:
Alright, guys, please stop it with "keeping the device alive" and "device is old". I9300 is still an excellent phone and it would be alive and well with or without Lollipop.

This is not to ignore the work that this awesome group of enthusiastic developers is doing in hacking the kernel and assembling the ROM from various sources out there.

Other than that, I notice the system is really slow to boot. Mostly the part when the taskbar/clock appears. The rest of the screen remains black and non responsive for a minute or two. Besides this, today TWRP took ages to start, stuck on the logo screen, that I flashed it again with Odin. When it happened again, being stuck on the logo screen for a couple of minutes, I began suspecting that the phone is sick and dying.

Anyone had similar experiences? Should I order a coffin?

And, btw, still no progress with the external SD card on my side. I want to try converting the file system on a Windows tablet. If that works, it will be the only thing it's good for.

Hey, [MENTION=4604352]Moster2[/MENTION], can you expand on this a bit?

I have an SD that's not visible but I thought it is because it is (probably) formatted with NTFS.

Reportingt a bug mentioned before:

Playing music to car audio with bluetooth-> sound is ok

- then phone call via bluetooth or audio from google navi over bluetooth sound its OK.

- Afterwards phone switches back to music, loudness increases and get heavily distorted.

- Stop music and start music, sound is good again.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
No, this is not ArchiDroid, this is CM12.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ayoubij:
There is no archidroid based on cm12 yet? or your not planning to do one?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] CyberianIce:
After installing Weekly 2 dirty over Weekly 1, starting Google Camera App caused device to freeze with black screen (reboot required) but deleting Google Camera App data makes this app work flawless again.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Since when reporting issues related to not full wiping is proper?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] CyberianIce:
Weekly 1 installation was performed clean (formatted data, cache, system and preload with all storages). If I spouse to do full wipe for every weekly I wasn't aware of that and doubtfully will continue this beta testing.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JustArchi:
Yes, you're using the ROM and the base that changes more often than you could imagine, not full wiping may, or may not, cause issues.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] CyberianIce:
That is why I am doing this; As the matter of fact I am not reporting a bug but sharing my experience because lot of people here practice dirty installation so they can fix google camera in the way i did. Thanks for your time and keep up good work! Cheers!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mrmarioman:
Just finish installing everything, and so far it works great. Many thanks JustArchi .

Long live the GS3! :D
