On previous builds restore broke WiFi. Do you know if that's the case for this build?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
Mine is fine

What kernels are everyone using on this? Just curious.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Soooperstar:
I may give it a try. Are you using Philz recovery?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
Yep. 6.57.5
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Soooperstar:
For sprint? Where'd you get that version? The thread ends with 6.48.4
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] BlockOfDynamite:
Last time I tried this ROM (a couple versions ago) I was using the kernel that came with it just fine.

As far as trying it now goes, I still can't get it to boot at all despite wiping everything and having a perfectly good download.

Try flashing ROM only, let it boot, then boot recovery and flash gapps. Worked for me.

I'm a guide over on phandroid, people get me all kinds of things. I saved a zip of it if you want. here it is. Flash in recovery, or extract the recovery.IMG from it and install with flashify. :cool:

Yes it for sprint. All variants.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] BlockOfDynamite:
I've tried literally everything (it's also in my nature to try all of the solutions, which is good).

Although I do have cwm recovery installed. Sounds like I should try philz. I will mention that cwm worked fine on earlier versions of this ROM.

Boost mobile, flashed fine no APN fix needed. Using the latest twrp. Open camera works, battery is much better. Great job! Loving it so far.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] BlockOfDynamite:
Just now tried and failed :/ I'm thinking that because of my horrible luck with this build I'll just wait for the next one. Seems to be that there are some great improvements every time, so I've a lot to look forward to from my last experience!

I've tried nexus camera, Google camera, open camera, amongst others and still no luck... The only ones that don't give me the "camera can't connect" error are nexus and open camera... Nexus takes a picture and force closes and Open Camera takes a picture and then freezes just on button press, no zoom or filters or anything... Neither save a picture...

Any advice...?

Please inform if restore app+data with titanium backup is working for the latest build (20150107). Thank you..

*Edit* : I want to share the way tiback working in this ROM.

1. Go to preference - at bottom there is "App processing mode", change to INTERACTIVE (Classic Android installer).

2. Then pick the app you want to restore, click restore app+data. App installer should show up, click install (if not, you need to restart the phone then click restore again (repeat step 2)).

3. After finish dont click open but click done. Then tiback will restore the data automatically.

FINISH!! the app will restore with its data.

I already try this and its working (i try some games - saved games is back & color note - my saved notes is back), just like in kitkat (or lower ROM).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DuceTheTruth:
Did the latest version tweak any Bluetooth settings or radios?

Because extended Bluetooth speaker/headphone playback is no bueno.

Even with KTweaker settings adjusted Bluetooth is immune.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wetbiker7:
I deleted the post I wrote. I meant I posted in the wrong thread. lol

This ROM doesn't come with the KT 747 kernel. The KTweaker app comes with that kernel. Pretty sure he makes a kernel version for this build though but not 100% positive.

I usually use the Trickerster kernel app when running Decimalman's kernel for this ROM. I use the paid version of Trickerster but there is a free version too. It does a great job and I highly recommend it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Advertize:
I tried a few camera applications and nothing worked until I tried the free version of Snap Camera. I got so excited that I went ahead and bought the paid version as I have seen no other camera work on Lollipop.☺

Just upgrade to 20150107 from setting (dirty flash). superuser working but the icon always at statusbar but no notification (cannot dismiss). There is no 3G icon at statusbar but data is working. Standard camera didnt work but i dont use it anyway (i use a better camera). Oh yeah from the first time i use CM12 i unable to set ringtone to any mp3 songs that i have in my microSD (could select a song but when incoming call, the sound play another tone (standard ringtone from ROM).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mholloway:
Try a clean flash.everything is good on my phone but I didn't try setting a song for a ringtone though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] octantcomp:
So in your phone superuser icon didn't always show up at statusbar? And 3g icon show up too?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Soooperstar:
I did a clean flash and my ring tones set fine. As far as the su icon, you just have to update the su app and it will go away
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] octantcomp:
How to update the su? I couldnt find superuser / supersu app in my phone..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Soooperstar:
Go to the Playstore and update supersu by chainfire
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mholloway:
Yea I don't have superuser icon on the status bar and I do get the 3g icon when on 3g and lte when on lte.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] octantcomp:
There is no update, just "install" button. Should i install supersu?

*Edit i guess i have to reflash clean. Thank you all..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Soooperstar:
Yea then open the app and follow the update prompts
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] octantcomp:
I clean install and superuser icon at statusbar still there. I install superSU and update binary failed..

...almost there.

...backed up, wiped and installed with gapps and the r2 apn for Virgin Mobile.

I gotta say, this Lollipop for the S3 is pretty sweet and it looks and feels great; a near-triumph.

Unfortunately, I adore Vignette as a photo-app and it's kind of a deal-breaker that the rear camera doesn't work. Aside from that, everything is pretty spectacular; i.e., Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Messaging, etc.

A beautiful and slick ROM, overall.

I'll definitely be back once the camera's fixed.

Congrats on the hard work and I'll see you guys soon.

I honestly can't wait to use this as my primary ROM!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xqme:
I have been updating since the first cm12. I just installed cm-12-20150107-UNOFFICIAL-d2spr.zip and then Electron_V1-1.9.15.zip while in Philz recovery. Wipe cache and dalvik, then unzipped from sdcard1.

Can't tell any difference but everything is working. I appreciate tether and hotspot.

I tried Snap Camera HDR Trial which is supposed to work with lollipop but it doesn't work. I have taken pics with standard cam app, front cam, and that saved images.

I looked into swapping internal and external memory. There are so many layers of aliasing that it might not do any good to know the first level name for devices, which are in some fstab file, not the main plain fstab file but in /etc. When I have time I'll try to swap there with my sdcard formatted ext4, LOL.

LOL, I want to open my web and mail ports on this "router". Have to google that. Sure to be a violation but I love to work on perl in qpsmtpd.

Everytime I get a notification, no matter what app, the screen pops on for a second or two. Is there any way to disable the screen-on without losing lockscreen notifications? I haven't found the setting.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] octantcomp:
Mp3 ringtone from microSD still cannot use (selected but when incoming call the sound became default ringtone). I have to use ringo pro / or similar app to set the notification tone right, but call ringtone still not right.. And.. when I set the mp3 ringtone in ringo (even if its not working, the tone volume will be the media volume (not ringtone volume). And i hope for next nightly the system volume and ringtone/notif volume will separate..

Theme is still early so have some laggy when using a theme. But overall its great i'm using this rom everyday and thank you..

* A better camera works many times at first, but today it stop working.. I restart many times and try again still no luck. I install Camera360 it says camera stop working..

Open Camera from Play Store

Try Open Camera from Play Store, it is for free and it works great for me..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wilberfan:
Open Camera works for me, too, with the exception of video. (Maybe video isn't working with anything yet?)

Gotta say, 24 hours with the 01/21 d2spr build (and the BMS kernel) and everything seems to be working. (Haven't tried EVERYTHING, tho.) Bluetooth, data, wifi, Open Camera (for stills).

The battery seems a little thirsty--but maybe that will settle down?

Nice job, guys!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Droidriven:
I don't know if I'm in the right place or not but I've heard that there is a fix for GPS and/or the SIM dependency somewhere in the d2spr ROMs, I'm trying to find the ROMs that have these fixes so they can be applied for the straight talk devices that are using the d2vzw and d2lte ROMs, it is a 3g CDMA device so not all users have access to a SIM and aren't going to buy a SIM just to get data. If you or anyone knows which ROMs gave these fixes and where I can find them I would appreciate the info. Thanks for any assistance.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xqme:
I have a straighttalk Sim ph, Samsung Captivate Galaxy i927, cm11 Cristiano who took the project for a while then I think it went back to dman. bubor did an fstab zip to switch the internal with external sd card, but that won't work here. My thought today is that camera and sd swap and perhaps other dev files may be botched for us during boot, because this samsung or our rom does one or more layers more obfuscation than the i927 cm11. Just compare output of "mount" command and several different fstab files in etc, and see what I mean. Then when those two or three layers of mounting happen, link fuse etc, perhaps /dev/something /dev/camera /dev/gps whatever get blown away or something mounts over those? Also permissions conflict maybe, at one of the two or three mounting/aliasing stages. Check simple first.

These are /dev files, so where are the other /dev files first, or I guess that's /sys directory first?

sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,seclabel,relatime)

Amazing! Smooth! Experience!

Thank you so much! ROM runs extremely smooth. Camera FX seems to function pretty well for the camera. Battery seems to run a bit fast will see how it goes over time as I just flashed today. Thanks again for all the Hard Work I look forward to updates. GALAXY S3 Brought back to life yet again...

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] NamelessFragger:
Tried the 1/20 build for a bit, and I definitely wouldn't call it stable, plenty of "Unfortunately, *insert process here, usually the phone process* has stopped." messages out of the blue on both my first flash without gapps and third flash with the Electron kernel.

However, the bigger issue for me, even moreso than the nonfunctioning camera (perhaps a lack of camera2 API implementation), was trying out Asphalt 8 for a bit as a graphics benchmark only to find that a lot of the in-game graphics were outright MISSING, and I went back to CM11 just to see if it worked properly there. (It did.)

Other than those quirks, it seems surprisingly stable and usable. I'm definitely looking forward to a stable, fully functional Lollipop for GS3 owners everywhere, since I have my doubts that Samsung will deliver it themselves and they're still viable smartphones for a lot of people.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Droidriven:
Sorry but this is supposed to be telling me what? I was asking if anyone knew where the d2spr ROM or ROMs are/is located, I'm not a Sprint user so I don't know where to find it/them in your thread, you guys are running CM12 with no SIM, I want the sprint CM12 that diesnt require a SIM so I can replicate in our ROMs, I don't need to be told what files to look at, I want the ROM/ROMs so I can take it apart to find my key, I would appreciate a direction to which specific ROM started it, I can't tell by looking at the names and links which ROM it is, I have to get it and take it apart, its an unfeasable idea to download then all and tear them all apart, there will be so many differences that there will be too many variables to find my solution, all I know is its a d2spr IIRC, that tells me nothing about which ROM it is. I hoped someone here would have heard of or read about it so I can narrow it down.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xqme:
Open Camera works, didn't find rear cam though. Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
This is the only cm12 for sprint. What are you looking for? This doesn't require Sim. Link is in the first post in this thread. None of the sprint Roms require a Sim.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Droidriven:
I thought as much but I never assume anything, thank you for the verification. I don't use Sprint so I couldn't tell by looking in from the outside. I already have the link, just needed some confirmation before a got too far into this thing just in case I was chasing my tail, I'm not much into wasting my time. Hopefully I can find what was done in your CM12 to remove the SIM dependency, its killing us on our end. Thanks again now maybe I can get somewhere. Is Sprint still making 4g without using a SIM?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] BlockOfDynamite:
Sprint has never needed and will never need a sim.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Droidriven:
That's the way it was on my E4GT, but I didn't know if they had switched to using a SIM to regulate their 4G data like the rest of the carriers, that's why I asked if Sprint was "STILL" making 4g devices that don't use SIMs, good to know I'm on the right track to my answer. Regardless of 3g or 4g the fix for our SIM dependency has to be in the Sprint ROMs. It won't be long now and those with my device will be free from the SIM curse. I know I and everyone with my device will be glad of that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] NamelessFragger:
Every LTE device has a SIM in it somewhere, even Sprint's offerings. It's an LTE requirement, even if the device has CDMA capability.

It's just that the UICC (the proper term for what everyone calls a SIM card) was embedded and non-removable on the S3 L710. Imagine my surprise when I found that the S5, the Note 4 and the LG G3 all had removable UICCs and could be unlocked for international GSM use...

Domestic UICC unlock's out of the question. It might be possible in rare cases, but this thread suggests it's locked out right in the modem firmware on recent Samsung phones starting with the KitKat updates.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] atomilluminati:
Not everyone knows that but it's good information...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Droidriven:
Yes, I've always known that the Sprint devices had an internal "SIM", I just wasn't sure if they had gone to using removable SIMs as other carriers have for their LTE(4G).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kalala:
So an S5, or Note 4 bought from Sprint can be unlocked and used overseas like in the UK and India?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] NamelessFragger:
It seems like Sprint got their act together on that front starting around the time of the Galaxy S4.

Having a removable UICC doesn't change how weirdly they use it compared to other CDMA carriers like Verizon, though. It's part of the reason they're nigh-impossible to domestically unlock in the first place.

If it supports the right bands for whatever carrier you want to use outside of the US, it should. Not that I can test that first-hand...

Unlocking them would be a pain if not for that utility, however. You'd have to call Sprint customer service otherwise, and they'll be expecting you to have subscribed for a few months.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Droidriven:
I looked into switching carriers to verizon or straight talk with an E4GT, they both say they can't do it but it can be flashed to Page Plus (no thanks). This tells me that if it can go to PP then it very well CAN go to Verizon or ST because PP is on the Verizon network as ST is. I've looked into doing it myself without cloning with it but that turns into a circle I end up chasing to no avail. I see some advertisements about flashing it over for $50, if it can be done myself without cloning I'd rather keep my $50, why pay unnecessarily to put an old phone back in service other than activation costs.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kalala:
Ah yes. I had to unlock two family member's iPhones by calling Sprint and requesting it. I believe the minimum they they want is six months in to the contract. The rep did it in a blink of an eye when we were traveling overseas.

Of course, those iPhones can be used anywhere but in the US (they are iPhone 4Ss) but it sucked that my S3 was useless overseas, save for a camera.

Or you could install go sms pro to backup and restore sms (I'm using it).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
Yeah if you look over in the Note 3 forum they are still having problems unlocking it and it is over a year old. Sprint is keeping a tighter grip on their newer phones. Even the L710T S3 is blacklisted from being used on prepaid.

For the life of me I havent been able to get a build that had celluar capabilities working.

Also, is there an updated status of being able to use camera features in apps, yet? I have open camera for taking pics when I need regular ones, but certain apps crash when they try and access the camera.

Find the camera application listed when you go to apps in settings and then select all applications and scroll down to camera. Tap on it and you will then see a button labeled disable. This will then allow another camera application to be used when necessary instead of the stock camera app.
