I bet you had a delightful experience. And while we are or on the subject of sharing & exchanging experiences. Here is mine... I am experiencing a deep boor with a mix of anger towards some users who are not complying with the "Development" forum rules &/or OP, and waisting both the developers and users time by posting time consuming shmuks. And by doing so making other users such like me post unneeded, not-usefull spam such as the one you are reading now, did you get the feeling? Good now both of us have the same experience don't you say?

I am fully complying with forum rules and this thread is not marked as developer-only thread. I have nothing with your feelings and dont give a damn about how you feel and I won't be engaged in your emotional responce so you should exclude me for good - just hit ignore button it is easy and it is here if you were annoyed.

Love the pace this development took over time. Great work guys. :good:

Just observed something weird happening. Not a bug, i can say, just a CM quirk. :silly:

I usually use a particular fav song of mine as the ringtone, .mp3 format obviously. :o

Now, for some reason, whenever i reboot my device, the ringtone doesn't change, but gets set to "NONE", which eventually turns the device to silent. :confused::rolleyes:

I missed few calls due to this. :eek:

Just a check for the Devs-Team. ;) :good:

First time root of S3-I9300, That too loollyPop- Thanks :)

I rooted my S3 after more than 2 years of buying it. Because i didn't go through the forums very extensively I did have some hiccups.

Eg:

1. I had done a nandroid backup of type TWRP, then i installed CWM as custom recovery, which did not let me recover by old data (like contacts, watsapp etc..)

But this is fine, it is a learning experience.

Method i have followed to installed CM-12 Lollypop on S3

1. Custom recovery is CWM

2. I flashed the zip which was last updated by 21.01.2015.

3. I flashed the gapps from below link

//s.basketbuild.com/gapps

4. I flashed Super user from the below link

download.chainfire.eu/supersu

Then the ROM was in shape to get started.

Few points to note: (May be issues, I am not sure)

1. Contacts are sometimes erased completely from the memory (Sometimes just the number, sometimes complete).

a. I observed this behaviour when i clear the cache (System cache using custom recovery) or using the app manager on the phone.

May be there is some memory overlap.

b. these contacts are present in Watsapp application.

2. Flash light in notification drawer stays on only for few seconds -

Thanks a lot once again for the contribution. :good::good::)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sravan1802:
I am using the latest build dated to 2015-01-26 and i m facing a weird issue.. when i make a call or receive one, i just see the number only displayed. The contact name doesnt seem to show up. Any one has any help for me here?

Its not a deal breaker for my daily driver but would be a happy owner to see this working :)

Battery energy vaporizing

First of all, thank you guys VERY much for the awesome work in getting Lollipop working on the beloved S3!

Since the latest update though, January 26, the drainage of battery is worrisome. At midday -at best- I have to reconnect my i9300 to a power supply as it's battery will be below 40%.

Could you please look into this.

Thank you very much!

Yes, my S3 device is also subjected to the battery drainage. Yet not only with Wifi; all the time

I didn't observe any battery issues, neither with weekly 1 or 2. I got the impression that it even lasts longer than with CM11 M12 which I had been using before. Did a clean installation of weekly 1 and a dirty flash of weekly 2. My battery is a replacement of the original one, I exchanged it 2 months ago, so it's pretty new. Perhaps I should mention that I'm using the "Greenify" app (for apps where I don't need a push notification). Which apps show on top of your battery statistics?

Hello !

I have installed the weekly 2 last night. First, I wanna say thank you for all this work ! :)

I've experienced my first issue this morning and I dont know if it's a device specific issue or a cm12 issue.

I use the "Timely" app for my alarms, everything work fine, but sometimes, when the alarm repeat, the sound is too loud for the speaker and the sound feel very saturate.

That's not a big issue, but i wanna share it here, just in case it's a device specific issue ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SuperBommel:
Perhaps you might need to update for recovery. Which one are you using? Version? For me it worked with TWRP 2.8.4.0 (http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/i9300)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] pbecks1963:
not bad

I am using the latest build dated to 2015-01-26. (stock kernel) (clean install)

-It's not bad (bit slower than C11, i therefor adjusted CPU governor to Performance, device became a little less laggy. Also changed I/O scheduler to deadline but i saw no improvement)

Perhaps the device is a little laggy because i've got a lot of hungry apps running? (Tasker/Kustom/Zoner/Nova launcher/Whatsapp/Touchdown/Poweramp/Foldersync/Pushbullet)

My music player (poweramp) sometimes lags a bit, i already tweaked it in the settings of poweramp but that didn't help. I frooze google play for good measure (with Titanium Backup) because i don't use that player anyway.

If i look at the free RAM than it's at 100 - 150 Mb most of the time. (not sure if that is a good thing though)

The dev's are doing a great job! I thank them all !

Wi-Fi goes to sleep in both Stock and Boeffla Kernel for me

Hello Moster2,

I had the issue in stock kernel and I moved to Boeffla kernel to check if the issue gets resolved but still every time the mobile goes to sleep wi-fi gets turned off. I will have to manually re-enable the wi-fi for it to start working.

Since Wi-Fi is getting turned off, notifications for weather updates, news, whatsapp messages etc. are not getting updated. Moreover I sometimes find "Exclamation Marks" on Mobile Network and Wi-Fi.

In last two weeks I've experienced strange behavior. Two or three times when I tried to wake up device with home button, it woke up but it was preceded with short vibration. Then I realized that touch doesn't work. Phone responds when pushing physical keys, system seemd to work normally because notifications arrived and phone was responding to incoming calls.

After rebooting using long press of power button everything worked fine.

I'm running now weekly2 but it happened also on beta 6.

Did any of you guys observed such a bug?

Cannot lock screen

I installed "Weekly 1" last week (clean install) and everything was working great but now for some reason I cannot lock my screen: pressing the power button or double-tapping the status bar turns the screen off but when I turn it back on I immediately get to the Home screen.

Of course I tried to change my security settings and rebooted a few times but this does not have any effect, actually the "Screen lock" option always displays either "none" or "swipe" even after I selected something else (and even if "swipe" is selected I can never lock my screen).

I also tried to update to "Weekly 2" and to reflash gapps but the problem remains. Any idea what could cause that?

In any case, thanks to the devs for their hard work!

Try this:

Use latest TWRP.

Make backup of your current rom, to save your work.

Advanced Wipe -> All except internal storage and sdcard

Install latest CM12, wipe dalvkik

Install pico gapps, wipe dalvik

Reboot

Do not install any of your app, except FB, Whatsapp, Email etc.. very known apps.

Test the wi-fi.

If work, then install boeffla.. nothing else.

Test wi-fi.

This should give you exactly if is really a problem. I dont have it.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] cornelha:
You should stop typing smileys that look like your dog died and actually read through the thread, this has been covered before. Do a clean install, as in factory reset and wipe system to ensure there are no left overs. Flash the rom, flash gapps, flash supersu and let it boot, even if it takes 10 minutes. After this if it still occurs, reboot into recovery, factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik (no idea why, but this worked for me). Also, make sure you don't use some random gapps package, this can also lead to the system being hopelessly unstable.

You do understand that you're talking nonsense and some of the repositories might as well be from the CM team. It's unofficial (these are my beliefts, i don't know if that's how unofficial builds are categorized) , because the CM team hasn't released a build yet and the developers are trying to develop something from what CM has given to the public.

When listening to Pandora or Spotify (maybe all music streaming apps?), occasionally short periods of very garbled and staticky sound. I can't determine root cause (of course could be network congestion but this "sounds" different and never occurred when on CM11). Searching this thread returned no matches for Pandora or Spotify -- anyone else having this issue with any music streaming app?

Hi, I would like to share some results about Camera HAL. Both proprietary and open source camera HAL set by default a "hybrid capture mode".

Long exposure required for night and fireworks scenes doesn't work on a generic camera app both on Samsung firmware and on CM11 (CM12 too!).

Samsung Camera app sends a command code 1508 to own HAL and this seems to

disable

the hybrid capture mode.

If a camera app sends this code to proprietary HAL on CM11 through Camera.sendRawCommand(int arg1, int arg2, int arg3) it

gets long exposure

!

Camera class in CM12 doesn't have sendRawCommand method anymore and open source camera hal can recieve only face detection commands.

Can this help CM12 development for I9300? Makes it sense to send a command like exynos_v4l2_s_ctrl(exynos_camera, 0, V4L2_CID_CAMERA_HYBRID, 0) in camera hal?

I tried to search in xda threads but I am not sure if this is interesting or was already known.

I hope you guys did not get bored with this post.

Thanks again to developers of this rom!

I have a really annoying problem throughout all version I've tested so far (Beta 6, 7, 8 + Weekly 2):

Whenever I select a person from my contact list (in the standard contact-app), it crashes after ~ 1 second. Any ideas? Or is it a bug that has to be fixed?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Prasath.B:
Tried it already

Thank you mate, I tried this already but still it does not help.

I always do a complete wipe before I upgrade/update. Initially I had tested for a day only with Whatsapp, News app and Top Eleven game. Whenever the mobile goes to sleep, the wi-fi gets disconnected. I installed Boeffla kernel to check, the issues were still the same.

I left caring about small things like these since it's couple of seconds job to re-enable wi-fi. Moreover I had raised issues with the respective application developers also to see if there is any problem from their side also.
