Can't say if it's better than stock (I use only Boeffla kernel) but it works great.

Dirty flashed weekly 6 over clean flashed weekly 5, and all works OK.

Thank you guys for keeping this great rom updated !!

1.) Install a theme as ithers have suggested

2.) XGEL seems to offer this (and it works on Lollipop) you also need Xposed though: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2647275

camera will never fix cos no open source from samsung. that's excuse from dev as for so many years is really quite impossible they unable to fix it. nowadays company can't earn if u didn't change phone. they want u to change phone every half year or annually. now i'm saving money to buy iphone with great camera, stable & confirm will receive official firmware updates etc..

soon or later they won't be support old device like s3 so no point grumble here, stop using their works on rom, kernel etc. that's the only way

Camera works just fine for me and for allot of other users!

The fact that camera doesn't work for you doesn't mean it's a rom issue.

IPhone? in this thread? Really?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] khanmein:
of course everyone will said camera works but after certain period it hang, fc, unable to use etc but after reboot it works again. mean there's still got some bugs that they tend not to fix it.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Hubik82:
Just install mediaserver killer from playstore and tick an option to kill on screen unlock or make your own schedule. That's temporary solution but helps a lot if u use camera a lot.

Since 2.8.4.0, you can update the recovery via TWRP itself (img file, for ODIN use tar file). Current version is 2.8.5.0. I used philz until mid of last year and switched to TWRP. Never had any issues.

Don't worry too much, difference is about half a minute :D

However, just detected that restart into boot loader doesn't work. Don't remember when I tried it for the last time. It works if I start the phone via home+power+vol_down. Not too bad since TWRP alllows flashing via itself.

Boot into recovery is fine.

FC on media player is still there in Weekly6, I already know the temporary solution is to clear the media storage and reboot the phone.

But whenever i flash some zip file from recovery media storage is getting corrupted and again i have to delete the cache and restart.

You're kind of missing the point though. By using custom firmware in general you have to accept that some things won't work sometimes, camera included. Don't get angry at us for it.

Personally though, I'd say try do a full wipe in TWRP and reflash. Seems like most people without camera issues did that

You are using a CUSTOM ROM !!!, if you use Samsung ROM you will not have any problem with camera !!!, If it's so importan to you, then don't use CM ROMS !!!. Besides, tell me ONE REALLY IMPORTANT THING that you can't do it on a stock 4.3 JB, that you can with CM12...

All of us want the latest an greatest OS in our phones, but if we can't get it, the phone STILL KEEPS FUNCTIONING AND DOING THE SAME THINGS AS WHEN WE BOUGHT IT, NO MORE, NO LESS.

pd.: I've used CM11 and now CM12 and my camera works OK. It seems a matter of bad luck with some S3 hardware, because for the majority of S3 users, the camera WORKS.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Soryuu:
No... you still don't get mine.

If you use stock roms, you wouldn't get this problem. Why? Because it's official firmware with proprietary drivers.

Guess what the iPhone has... proprietary drivers!

What you don't seem to have understood is that CM12 can't and does not use these proprietary drivers. They're closed source and belong to Samsung. Developers don't have access to it. Think about it, if developers could get a hold of Samsung's proprietary camera drivers, do you really think we'd still have isdues with the camera on CM/AOSP roms? There's a good reason why the camera is still hit-or-miss on CM.

Again, this is third-party software we're talking about. [MENTION=4604352]Moster2[/MENTION] isn't a dev for Samsung. He's doing this when he has time and for free. He can't solve every single problem, especially if they're out of his reach like the camera drivers are. If Moster or any other dev working on CM for Samsung devices knew how to make the camera perfect, they would have done so by now.

I'm not saying the camera bug doesn't exist. Of course it exists, we get people like you telling us about them with each weekly, and people have also known of these issues ever since the S2. That's expected. But if you're really going to complain that the devs aren't working hard enough to get the camera working on third-party roms - which went through so much reverse-engineering over time just to get it working in the first place - then I suggest you either go back to stock roms (which use the actual drivers so your camera will be good) or you close your xda account and get that iPhone.

stock also got this issue. i think u too long time didn't use stock rom.. i'm not blaming dev but we all know android is sux. cm10 & cm11 got camera bugs can't be fixed so no need to mentioned bout CM12.. no matter what still got ppl complaining bout the camera FC. another android fanboy..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Hubik82:
The problem is that Samsung produces same smartphones with little hardware differences. In case of S3 it's about WiFi chipset for example but it's also possible that they put also different camera modules... That's why some people are facing problems when many others not... Closed sources doesn't help in this case also...

Bluetooth signal strength

Hi!

This ROM is amazing! Everything is working, WIFI, both Cameras... the battery is lasting a lot. Also the system is faster and better than Stock ROM.

Congratulations to Moster2 and all his team involved in this great work.

For me, I am having only one problem, bluetooth signal is weak. I have a Pebble (smartwacth) and some times when I just cross my arms and the connection with the phone stop, and when I walk away from the phone I notice the distance is shorter than it usually was with stock ROM. A second test is with a bluetooth stereo earphone (Motorola S10HD), if I put the S3 on the front pocket of my jeans the music start to get cuts, I need to use S3 on the back pocket (to be closer with earphone receptor).

I am using Weekly 6 (tested since Weekly 4), the change from Stock to CM12 was full wipe (all but extSDCard) and restored with Titanium only user apps.

Is there a way to increase the signal? (maybe some config file to change).

Thank you!

iPlayer and other streaming

Appreciate this is a little OT but is anyone else finding that BBC iPlayer streaming and downloads don't work. I'm finding the same problem with 4oD but both ITV Player and Youtube work perfectly. Haven't been able to try others yet.

I'm using weekly 6 on stock kernel but this has been a problem on all previous releases and when using other kernels.

I don't know for sure that this might be fix but something easy you could try that's generally improved gps and g3 signal strength for some people - remove the back cover and try tightening all 10 of the screws.

I use bluetooth headphones at the gym on this rom and I find I can walk 10m away without getting breakup.

You have to remember, that Bluetooth is, and has been, a low-powered signal. The frequencies used, do not travel easy trough solids, or, the human body. Also, there are 2 devices here. And only increasing the transmitting power of one side, might not solve your problem. And the problem might even lay in your other device, which maybe is sending even weaker signals....

So, please experiment with another phone and your wrist device? And find out, if it is the phone or the watch?

Thanks for the answer, but I am comparing the behavior of bluetooth in the same S3 with stock ROM and now with CM12 with the same devices that I use every day. So I really think there is something can be done.
