OK, I decided to take the plunge on this Alpha, but not without going back to stock and updating some PRL's first. All of my apps are loaded and it's back to what I would consider "daily driver" status. The issues I'm going to point out come with the understanding that this is an alpha build and I'll treat them as such, meaning I won't be surprised to run into them. You know what I mean right? K good. Anyway.....

So far I've noticed the boot time is pretty long, but I'm not too concerned with it.

I had an FC that I took a screencap of. I'll upload it once I sign in (read, remember my password XD) to xda on my phone.

I got Poweramp to work well so far. No audio skips as of yet. Viper4Android works. It takes a bit to kick in but I got it working. Can't remember if I have it in compatible mode....lemme check.....yes, I do. So if you're having issues running it, try compatible mode before posting about it. Direct Unlock on Poweramp doesn't work. It'll unlock and take you to the Lollipop unlock screen. Ended up turning it off since I don't care either way.

LTE is spotty (always is in my room), but it worked out the box (d2spr user). Also if I'm on wi-fi, the LTE will pop in and out. Weird but oh well, not worried about that, either. Pretty sure AOSP on S3's will always have worse coverage vs. TW ROMs. But I hate TW with a passion so it's a fair trade for me lol

Stock camera FC'd on me. Expected that (wasn't that in the OP?). Downloaded Open Camera and it works. Never cared for S3 camera anyway but it works so far.

Really loving the ART runtime. Lord why did I wait so long to use it on other ROMs? I really haven't found something that would make me go "f this ROM" so far after about a good half-hour of use, which is usually when I run into my serious issues when I try something new. I'll report in a few days. And when (if :P) I remember my password again I'll upload some screenshots. Gotta admit I'm not a fan of having to use Power to unlock my phone instead of Home, especially since it's really hard to hit the Power button with a worn-down Otterbox case. Would like to know if this is a Lollipop feature or if a "work" is on its way to revert it back to the home button.

EDIT: Yea I still don't remember it -___- *sigh* I'm getting audio skips in Poweramp, but so far only happens when I have Chrome open.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mr. Biggz:
Has anybody had a chance to test USB audio? I have a USB hookup in my car that works in TW 4.4.2 but hasn't with this. I was hoping that since Lollipop included it would work. I want to make sure if it's the ROM or my setup.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
check out my splash screen part 5 with new cm12 splash screen http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=55575531&postcount=94 oh and i just started using the new build and its working far better then the first one for me and now it has the advanced reboot menu which is great and it just needs theme support :/ and the camera fix
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mholloway:
Which new build? The 11/26 one posted here.answered my own question. Now about your splash screen .does it only work using ktoonz kernel?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
It works with the stock AOSP one too I test them before posting them
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] akaTRAP:
Anyone try sending an MMS via the Google Messenger app from the Play store? When I try it it FC's on me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mholloway:
No but when i received one theu didnt load and the messenger app kept force closing.had to uninstall tjen restall it to stop the fc . the messenger app is tied to camera I believe.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wizzdome:
I couldn't get my car to recognize usb connection, though the phone said it was charging. Options for usb connection have expanded in 5.0 and I have no reason to believe it may just be a cable issue. Bluetooth on the car stereo worked good. At first connection I got no meta-data but the next time i disabled and re-enabled bluetooth the meta-data appeared on my receiver. Let me know if your worked as I am thinking like I said that my cable may have a short or possibly just be a charging cable.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] butterball71us:
Has anyone gotten Netflix to work? Mines just stays at the loading screen. Any help is much appreciated
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nimaim:
Is the problem only caused by the new Messenger app? I guess Textra would be the best workaround for this? Unless the default messaging app that ships with 5.0 works? I'm ready to use this as my daily driver since there seem to be workarounds for all the minor issues. How is GPS and LTE?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mattzeller:
Is Hotspot working? Can't get any of my connected devices to see online through it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nimaim:
Hmm yea that would be a big problem for me, I use wifi hotspot/usb tethering rather often. Can anyone else confirm?

---------- Post added at 10:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:07 AM ----------

Decided to flash anyway. Lollipop is absolutely gorgeous, going to test drive it for a bit now; gotta spend some time reinstalling some apps again. Thanks for the work on this OP.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I couldn't get a GPS lock. I use GPS quite often, several times a week at least, but it's completely normal for the GPS to be broken until the new CyanogenMod matures or at least in some cases, until someone discovers what it takes to get it working on a particular phone model.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nimaim:
Seems to be working just fine for me! Though it could be because I just had wifi on a minute ago and that helped with the lock. I'm sure it would be listed as one of the bugs if it weren't working. I myself use it quite often too, mostly to check traffic on the way to/from work. And of course I always need it for the occasional new place you want to travel to. I've found the best thing to do for GPS locks is to flash a known ROM where GPS works for you, get a very strong lock, leave it on, then wipe/flash new ROM. I just did this by flashing a stock ND8 ROM prior to this to update profile/PRL. I haven't gotten one FC yet from this ROM, very solid (obviously not using things like stock camera app which are not currently known not working). I'm used to flashing something, Google Play Store freaking out about updates, and everything FC'ing on me from the start. I'm surprised how well it runs on the S3. I can't wait til this goes stable; this is a very good start.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nimaim:
Just tested it out for u real quick and seeing the same problem. Devices will connect but cannot access the phones data. However, USB tethering works just fine. Camera is definitely iffy even with third party apps; touch to focus causes some to freeze and crash while others will completely break even switching orientation. About to test the rest of the stuff now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] akaTRAP:
Anyone else experiencing horrid battery life? My phone will completely drain itself in four hours, as if my battery was radioactive.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] losevolution:
GPS takes a while but works eventually. I can't find the silent button without vibration. Other than that smooth ROM
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] russ722:
My battery life was bad also at first but seems to be getting better.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nimaim:
Yea mine sucks too. I'm guessing optimizations will come later as all the bugs are first fixed. But yea I see no project volta in effect here.

EDIT: Hibernating all the battery sucking apps using greenify and battery is doing much better. No more wake locks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] inunishi:
lock screen

how do I change the lock screen pic?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] losevolution:
Great project so far....MMS just stopped working with the current update though
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Nexus11:
I have tests and papers due this coming week so I'll try making a new build next weekend if official isn't out by this time
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Press either volume button and then choose "None".
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Diarrhea Slushie:
Never mind
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mholloway:
You dont need exsposed for greenify.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Diarrhea Slushie:
Yeah I just realized, thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kalala:
Anyone know why my reception seems to be a lot worse despite maintaining my old PRL? It's always been kind of crap on CM, which is why I reluctantly stuck to rooted TW because I needed the data, but why does CM make data so unusable?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
cause you need the sprint/boost/virgin stuff in the settings and the apps from them to make the signal better and some other TW related things unless you some how port those this from another LTE based device in the carrier that gets perfect signal on AOSP/pure Android.....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nimaim:
Gesture typing doesn't work for me despite my attempts to correct it. Is it just me? I always use it for one handed operation.

Never mind, built in AOSP doesn't work but google keyboard from the play store does.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mr. Biggz:
Had a chance to test a Nexus 5 with Lollipop and it works fine with it. I have a Grom unit and it has two modes, one give metadata through their own app but that just does local music, the other just passes all audio through. I had this problem with AOSP KK roms too so it might be some software problem although I thought I remembered someone saying they had a working USB DAC.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wizzdome:
I dont use USB often enough to worry about it, as long as bluetooth works.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wilberfan:
Everything--except data!

Man, this was working brilliantly--until I turned off the wifi. I have no data connection, sadly, on my d2spr (virginmobile). SPH-L710

Rats!

Anyone have a similar issue? Any solutions you can think of...?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Even though you're on Virgin Mobile, are you on the NDC or ND8 bootloader and modem? If NDC, try Odining the stock ND8 tar and then restore a nandroid of this ROM and see if you have data.

Just for the record, I couldn't get it working either. I use TouchPal these days so it didn't matter too much.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wilberfan:
I'm using the MK3 modem, actually. I tried re-applying the APN, and it's working now! :D

---------- Post added at 07:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:09 PM ----------

I'm getting a "Unfortunately, the dialer has stopped" message every time I make a call. Anyone else?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nimaim:
Nop, calls working just fine here. I did not have to flash any APN fix though as I'm on Sprint.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jorv976:
Nice rom. I'm waiting for future updates b4 I can use as a daily.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nimaim:
Never mind, GPS is borked it seems. My accuracy is way off and as a result it does not navigate correctly. It was flawless back in SlimKat stable so I'm assuming there's some work to be done there. Since I use GPS often, this may mean me going back to my nandroided KitKat setup :(

USB tethering doesn't work over 3G/LTE data either, I had tested it over a WiFi connection before and that worked but am at work now and not working over 3G.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] I Brick Phones:
Thanks for making this available to us! It's running great and giving my old S3 new life!

As far as the camera bug, the stock camera works just fine for me with this build. If you're having issues you might want to try removing any custom folders under the DCIM folder. I was having issues with the camera prior to performing that fix.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wilberfan:
I should have clarified that the calls go thru--I just get that error message before they do.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] acoustikamusika:
I've been using this rom for a few days now and it's running pretty smooth. The only issue I have is that I lose data sometimes no 3G or LTE, just wifi. Is anyone else having this problem? It usually happens when I turn the wifi on/off.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Good to know. Thanks!

I didn't have that problem at all. I switched both WIFI and mobile data on and off a bunch. I'm on Sprint with the ND8 bootloader and modem.

What modem are you on,and what carrier? Might also help to, using a stock based ROM, update your PRL and profile, and then restore your backup of Lollipop.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Slackys:
Sadly for the SCH-S960L says that needs to install a sim card. Tried installing the APN and ask for the same sim card.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mattzeller:
This is for the SPH-L710
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Slackys:
I know but since some d2spr roms works here I give it a try... well back to CM11.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] acoustikamusika:
I'm using the ND8 modem on sprint, I think that did the trick LTE and data is working now even when I'm using wifi, thanks a lot
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] BlockOfDynamite:
Error when install

I am getting the following error when I try to install the ROM.

mount: failed to mount /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/userdata at /data: Device or resource busy

script succeeded: result was [0.200000]

It seems to have installed despite this error (but I cannot confirm as it is still in the boot animation, has been for a few minutes). Is there something I should do to try to fix this, or is this normal?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mattzeller:
That's normal, everyone is getting that error with this build.

Just sit back and wait, it can take upwards of 10 to 15 minutes for the initial boot.

For me I had to flash the ROM and then let it boot. Restart and flashed gapps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] BlockOfDynamite:
Whew, I knew I should've waited to post till after it finished booting.

Looks like cellular is working, although I haven't tried it extensively (obviously, given the timestamps on the posts). Seems to keep cellular on and connected even while wifi is on and connected, though.

I love that the OS is finally here! :D Can't wait for more customization (status bar etc).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] BlockOfDynamite:
Ok, so here's what I have so far:

These lists will be updated as more info becomes available to me.

***Info***

My modem is ND8

My APN zip (FreedomPop) flashed successfully, and it shows that as the carrier name.

I installed Viper4Android (have to use Compatible mode instead of Normal) and I must say, man does this program work great! I never knew my knockoff earpods could push bass this clear!

***Working***

- 1X, 3G, and 4G LTE

- Camera within other apps (snapchat etc)

- Taking pictures with default (built-in) camera app using front camera

- Viper4Android (in Compatible mode instead of Normal mode)

***Not working (or suspicious)***

- Taking pictures with default (built-in) camera app using rear camera

- Battery seems to be taking longer than normal to charge

- After a reboot, cellular services take a few minutes to start up

- Home key to wake device (restored keylayout files from my kitkat backup and I lost ALL buttons [fixed with a dirty reflash of ROM, Gapps, and SuperSu])

- Gesture input does not work with either the built-in (AOSP) keyboard OR Google Keyboard

- I've had to reflash SuperSu after some reboots

- There's no way to take screenshots

Does anyone know how to enable voice input for the keyboard?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] droiddekka:
Is this Rom theme able yet?

Are blacked out apps going to run under this new version?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Nexus11:
Google Keyboard

Theme engine hasn't been created yet.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mattzeller:
Going to language and input, tap current keyboard, then choose keyboards, turn on Google Voice typing
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] I Brick Phones:
Thanks, I tried and voice input is disabled. See screenshot. Is it not disabled for you?

Edit: I found out how to turn it on. I couldn't find it in the system settings but if you long press the button to the left of the space bar in the keyboard it pops up a menu that allows you to turn on Google Voice Typing.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mattzeller:
Glad you got it

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] I Brick Phones:
all i see when i go into display settings > advanced settings is "double-tap to sleep" which works when i turn it on.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] roirraW "edor" ehT:
No, it doesn't. Not until (if) anyone makes a more customized kernel for AOSP Lollipop on our phone. It doesn't see my 32GB MicroSD or my 64GB OTG USB drive, both formatted in ExFat.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] LocoRobo:
Oh. Well I can't even get into the advanced display settings for some reason.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Diarrhea Slushie:
OK guys we need to team up and seriously get this camera working, that's all we need for a stable ROM. Most all phones have camera working. If you want to tackle this then pm me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wetbiker7:
Stock based ROMs usually always have better reception. I'm 99% positive the reason CyanogenMod and other AOSP based ROMs have a weaker signal is due to the RIL stack. I live is a low reception area and i noticed the drop is signal immediately after flashing CM7 on 1st Android phone 4 or 5 years ago. It is a fact that I've learned to live with if i choose to run AOSP. I have the occasional dropped call but it is what it is.

Also , I'm sure the fact that this ROM is in the very early stages of development is not helping the radio or data issues. We are gonna just have to give it time and let the devs work their magic. There's no doubt in my mind we'll see some improvement. We're just going to have to be patient.

Since this is the CyanogenMod thread, out of respect to Nexus11, I'm 'm not going to discuss another ROM here. I'll send you a PM in a few minutes. Make sure you check your inbox
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
hey guys i fixed V4A issue if you can only use it in compatibility mode/won't work at all i tested it in Liquid Smooth but should work for CM12 http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=57268036&postcount=30
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Nexus11:
New Build done. Most noticeable is it is running 5.0.1 and has wake from home button working. Sorry for being later then I wanted I was doing school and other things, as mentioned on my Google plus.

Edit: If stuck on splash screen or some junk like that do a clean install.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Diarrhea Slushie:
School is more important than a new build, appreciate all your hard work
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] BlockOfDynamite:
Thanks to you bro.

I can hardly find the time to flash a new rom with all my schoolwork lol. You must be a wizard.

As far as features, what all has been added for this latest rom? (wont have time to flash till later tonight got too much stuff to do)

Thanks again for spending so much time on this!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Diarrhea Slushie:
i havent got any camera to work with 12/05 and the boost apn fix doesn't stick after reboot

Thank you very much!

Definitely. What he said.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] I Brick Phones:
Thanks! Anybody notice anything new in this build other than that? I don't use the home button to wake the phone anyways, just curious if I should update if there's anything else new.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
well if you didn't before now you can double tap the status bar to turn off the screen but now there is no camera working from all that i tried...i downloaded almost all the updated cameras on Google play
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] LocoRobo:
There is a lot new mate. Update and you'll see
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Great news, its recognizing my 32GB MicroSD card now. I think I have it ExFAT. I'll test my 64GB USB OTG drive, I'm sure I have it ExFAT.

Not 100% sure on that, I hear some say its the blobs, others say drivers or kernel. I think if anybody knew for sure they might have made a solution.

For an unofficial build, it's pretty solid, great battery life, buttery smooth, apps and games run and play so much smoother
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Urabewe:
After flashing the 12/05 update as a clean install I can't get any camera to work at all. I was using Camera Zoom FX which was working just fine in the other versions. Now when I try to use it it never connects to my camera and causes my phone to reset.

Still no luck on 4g/LTE. In the settings menu I can't get the setting to change. I can select LTE but it reverts back to 3G every time.

Everything else seems to be working pretty well. Haven't tried the new kernel yet probably will after I post this.

Thanks for all the work. Keep it up!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] akaTRAP:
No Miscellaneous battery drain bug from the last build? I got literally four hours off charge on idle on the past build.

Might have to give this one a try considering the only thing I found wrong with the last one was the battery drain and the camera that I don't care about.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Nexus11:
I have a G3 so camera isn't really a stressed to me personally . The battery thing is ehh , I can get a days with with maybe only an hours + screen time
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
Yep the Camera is completely broke this time around the OP is trying to see if Cyan has anything to update in the code or something on those grounds to try and fix it....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wyelkins:
This build is much better. 64GB card works now. Never reformatted it. Signal is a little more stable. No Camera. Great Job!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nimaim:
Is navigation and hotspot still broken?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Moped_Ryder:
I have found that anytime you use the APN fix its best to install the fix only after the ROMs first boot. Let it boot and settle, then reboot recovery and install. Seems to work better that way. I haven't downloaded CM12 but if you check the APN settings and see:

<apn carrier="Virgin Mobile" mcc="310" mnc="120" apn="n.vmu.ispsn" user="Sprint" password="*" mmsproxy="68.28.31.7" mmsport="80" mmsc="http://mmsc.vmobl.com:8088/mms?" type="default,supl,mms,fota,dun" />

Should be good without it.
