Dhiru, which fix are you talking about? the one to move files from /system/vendor/firmware to /data/cfw?

this doesnt work for me, camera get stuck on the option to access location.

sorry, cant find any fix posted by you.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] BobderDritte:
thx for the rom. I guess I will use it as a daily driver, only minor one time reboot per day so far.

For everybody with battery drain issue, a user postet the same before:

I wiped cache and dalvik cache ( even if its pointless ) :) and after reboorting the miscel. in battery statistic is gone and my remaining time from 5 hours changed to aprox. 12 hours.

I will post screenshots later ... dont if it does the trick but at least you can try and post results.

Btw: I installed the new googlelauncher.apk and the new google launcher works fine, only thing, I am missing the headsup notification since then ( i guess ) somebody knows how to bring them back ?

cheers

Besides look for a solution by actually reading the thread, this is a common issue with 5.0 roms across many devices, the fix is to be patient or use another rom as your daily driver

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] F@HIM:
Setup wizard fcs and even systemui crashes frequently...anyone having this...srry if anyone has asked...
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] jackq:
where did you see "ART" word... i se ARM only and its normal dalvik-cache folder. So where is ART?

Again i trying to point that this rom is a mix not full 5.0. Even devs dont want to tell anything about and explain a little about their work. I respect and thanks for their work but this is a substitute.

I know that device are different but you cant guys made one working rom for everyone?

i tried many times to flash this with full wipe, forget about it, bootloop... bootloop... again and again

only without wipe with flashed 4.4.4 before. there is really something wrong, and i can't understand why all S3 devs can't work together for fully working android 5.0

we are community or this is a competition to win??

Great Rom Except for Battery Life

Great ROM. I moved from temasek rom to this and i have already used for more than a day now. Except for battery life, everything else seems great.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Erahgon:
As stated previously by someone, there appears to be no libdvm.so (required by the Dalvik Runtime) and only a libart.so (for the ART Runtime) in /system/lib/ .

Android Lollipop, at its core, uses ART and not Dalvik. I don't see why the ROM devs would waste time hacking it into working. No dev is trying to fool anyone really...

Also, I haven't even experienced one bootloop. Maybe your flashing procedure is problematic? Esp after the fixes given to me by the helpful members of this community, I'm happy to say that this ROM is my daily driver!

Regarding the camera fix:

[MENTION=2875964]dhiru1602[/MENTION] : the camera workaround specified by [MENTION=441914]jesus_c[/MENTION] worked for me.

It involved copying the some of contents of /system/firmware to /data/cfw and changing it to the correct permissions. I discovered that /data/cfw was empty before the fix, which was apparently causing "camera not connecting" problem. Any idea as to why it is occurring?

Thanks!

Regarding external SD cards:

ExFAT didn't work, so I migrated to ext4. That didn't natively work either (like back in the early days of CM 10.1 or so - fuse doesn't support mounting, although ext4 is supposed to be natively supported). I found a command and a binary (in a flashable zip) that made this work alright. I made a small permissions modification to make it work without much trouble.

Can't wait till all the features are back in. So far it looks great guys! Thanks for all the contributions all of y'all!
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] andrewwright:
Hmm so that's there and the apps have cached there too....so its dalvik cache and NOT running on art. Finally we know. Its there in the pic. I myself have been busy today so didnt have time to look at this.

So to the development team.. Please comment on this as a few now are wondering why its running dalvik and not art. And Why it won't boot unless you're extremely lucky or coming from nameless 4.4.4?

Somebody pointed out that the presence of "base.apk" was a hint for the usage of ART.

Has it come to your mind that the "dalvik-cache" folder name might have been kept for compatibility reasons? It would not have been the first time I have seen this kind of historic constraints.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] jackq:
base.apk doesn't exist in this rom. checked in system/app and in system/priv-app.

After severel times tying to install the lolipop and getting bootoop all the time, i installed with full wipe the 4.4.4 from nameless, and after that i install lolipop over it with no wipes and after that gapps.

The rom works great.

The only thing that i have to do is to active keyboard.

If there's a problem, i dont know... I havent noticed yet!

Hello

I come from nameless 4.4.4 latest nightly with cwm recovery. Then i flashed this second beta rom followed by gapps. All boots wel except i cannot use a keyboard.

But the keyboard is not the problemen. After 30sec to 1 minuten my phone vibrates One time and then everything freezes.

It only happens after first unlock. It does not happen if phone stays locked.

Any ideas?

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
Hey guys,

sorry for being late!

Okay so do we have some beta testers here? It is easy!! all what you have to do is the following, backup your ROM and Apps of current ROM and move them to a safe place on external storage or PC first! Here you are:

1- Get Odin3 (i personally use the v1.85, HERE! you are..)

2- Get the firmware file from HERE! thanks for [MENTION=5812214]Lil Geeky[/MENTION] for digging in and finding the link :highfive:

3- Get the CF-Auto-Root file from HERE!

4- Get the latest Philz Touch.

tar

file from HERE!

5- Backup all your data on the internal storage (and also it is likely to remove the external storage as well)

6- Flash the Firmware file via Odin from your PC

7- Boot it up (If you tun in a bootloop, reboot in recovery mode via the Vol up + Power + Home combination and select "format /data" which will sadly remove the files from internal storage)

8- after setting the phone up, reboot in Download mode and flash the CF-Auto-Root.tar file

9- boot the phone up to ensure that everything is ok

10- reboot into download mode and flash the latest Philz Recovery "6.48.4" via odin

11- Install an EFSv2 modem from HERE!

12- Test if your WiFi works and connects properly

13- reboot recovery and then Wipe data/factory reset (select the "clean to install a new ROM" option)

14- flash the Nameless-5.0.zip

15- flash the gapps

16- flash the SuperSU.zip

17- Wipe cache partition

18- Wipe Dalvik cache

19- Reboot and give it some time (max is 7 minutes, if it bootloops the follow the instructions HERE!

20- Test WiFi (which hopefully should work if my theory is right, if it still doesn't work, then i am sadly a dumb :D )

Hope it works :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] sebtorres82:
I was using TWRP v2.7.1.0. Also I was coming from CyanogenMod 4.4.4 and I did an Advanced Wipe of the System, Data, Dalvik and Cache before flashing the ROM, Gapps and Super SU.

I used the same steps as I did in my S3 with my Note 2 and while in my S3 all was working correctly in my Note 2 the Wi-Fi wasn't working, it showed saved and it couldn't recognize some networks... I think that's weird..
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
Ok concerning the ART/Dalvik debate

there are two ways to check it correctly:

1- run Antutu on a 4.4.4 ROM and on a 5.0 ROM and compare the runtime scores, you will find that the 5.0 ROM is almost double the 4.4.4 score in the runtime section ,NOT in the total benchmarks

2- Since ART was introduced as an optional choice, and when selecting ART in the Developer options, a popup says "are you sure you want to switch from

libdvm.so

to

libart.so

? So logically if the system is running on Dalvik as it is claimed, you will find "libdvm.so" in /system/lib and i am more than 100% sure that you will not find it as Dalvik is completely removed, even it is not available in the developer options as an optional choice....

So this is it!!

And there is a brave way to check it out. Try to install Xposed and see what you will get... Which will not work under any circumstances as there is no Dalvik libraries

EDIT: see the below screenshot from Xposed Installer 2.7exp1

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] scorpienez:
Is there any way to dualboot Nameless 5.0 second alpha release with other 4.4.4 roms? I dont wanna lose Lollipop for WIFI issue. I have tried arter's second beta release kernel with nameless 4.4.4 and got in bootloop. I think not every rom is supported by Arter97's kernel, If somebody already dualbooting kindly let me know the primary rom you are using.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] reist:
No i didnt. Will give tjat a try tomorrow. Got me a link? Saves me a search ;)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] justforreply:
I asked you because that kernel breaks the rom and cause this kind of problem because now it isn't compatible with this rom. Back about your problem try reflah the rom using one of the "correct flash" suggestions on this thread and on the q/a one. Good luck.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Mostafa Wael:

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] drmjp93:
I tried every combo for flashing this rom. 4.4.4 followed by 5.0, clean flash with stock kernel, clean flash with after kernel. So m out? Or any other way to get in.?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Zwulf:
The way it worked for me:

- Flash latest TWRP 2.8.1.0, reboot to recovery

- Wipe everything including internal SD completely (wiping external SD is not needed)

- Install:

ROM

Gapps (try these which worked fine for me, both on m0 and flo)

SuperSU 2.23

...in that order.

Be patient for the first boot... can take up to 10 minutes. Done.

(Don't forget to disable SIM lock prior to flashing and enable hardware keyboard in settings after first boot - no problem to skip setup steps)

Enjoy. :)

Note: Tried to install with only "factory reset" in TWRP before with resulting stuck on boot logo (bubbles). Only a complete wipe did it. Also you should not flash arter kernel for this build.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] nicesoni_ash:
