Not sure just what you're describing here, or where you're trying to go. But from what you said, I gather you have a backup somewhere you want to restore, but can't because you're stuck in a bootloop. Okay so far?

If you have a nandroid backup somewhere, you can access it without having to boot into the ROM. Just power down, do the three-finger salute (volume up, home button, and power button) to get into your recovery. Then just restore the backup, assuming the backup you have is a working copy.

If you don't have a nandroid (why not!!??), power down, remove your external SD card and use your computer to copy the desired ROM onto that. Put it back in the phone, go into recovery as mentioned above, wipe thoroughly and flash the ROM and Gapps. Then you can restore your apps and settings from your Titanium backup, if you have one.

Third option, if you're just trying to dirty-flash over your previous setup to retain your apps, etc., again copy the new ROM onto your external SD card on the computer, boot into recovery, and flash after doing the minimal wipes. I think the OP would tell you that you're on your own with this method, though; a dirty flash over a non-functional ROM would be iffy at best.

Edit: If you choose option 3, I'd suggest that once you're up and operational, you get Titanium Backup, back up all your apps by running the two scheduled backup options, then go back and do a complete, clean flash again, and restore your TiBu backup once that's done. That way you have a nice, clean install. (Some people in the past have said they've experienced problems restoring from a TiBu backup, but I've migrated from Gingerbread to Jelly Bean to KitKat and finally to Lollipop, and I've never had any problems. Of course, I do a selective restore, only my user apps and never restore system apps to avoid any problems)

I'm really eager to hear what you end up doing, and how it worked out for you.

Just to let people know, my phone wouldn't wake up this morning after a night on charge. I had to hold down the power button to force a restart.

Other than that the optimized build runs smooth.

This is on a dirty flash from the previous 5.4.5 version.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kuraigu:
i hadn't had any bootloop yet .. no FC's aswell except for the keyboard.

and somehow it seems to me this happens when i've shut down other apps for good.

it works sometimes for ages .. tthen when i've closed apps .. and going into whatsapp,

it gives keyboard FC's sometimes..

is there any app which logs everything which happens in tthe aos ??

Dirty flashed from previous 5.4.5.

Everything seems fine.

Shutdown and powering up again it still works, no FC so far.

Need more extensive usage cos my S3 is left at home most of the time as back up phone.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] butcher33:
also no problems with a dirty flash of the optimized 5.4.5, apart from some mini glitches when exiting some apps - I recokn it is due to RAM shortage - no biggie.

Today I got too many Google Play services FC error. Slowly the frequency got increased. And presently the situation is that i cannot complete a two - three words short message or a complete sentence.

Also it is happening when my data or wifi is activated. It does not happen when I am not connected to the internet.

The situation got worsened when I was using Google News & Weather app.

I use Slim Gapps. and as suggested by someone, I will try dynamic gapps by Banks.

Thanks... No complaints on the ROM functionality. :good:

Google Play Services FC

To all those, facing Google Play Services FC. it is caused on Slim Gapps as somebody pointed out.

Yes I am also using the same slim gapps.

I just did some research on slim gapps, and found out that if we are using different/custom DPI we need to install the Multi-DPI addon with slim gapps package. (I knew this, and have been using since slim gapps separated multi-dpi addon). Now this addon has not been updated properly alongwith updates in the slim gapps package. Hence using improper DPI causes Google Play Services FC.

Yesterday with optimized 5.4.5 i was on stock 320 DPI (No FC), then I switched to 304 DPI (No FC) and later at night switched to 288 DPI. and today morning I started getting severe googlePS FCs. Then after doing research on slim gapps, when I switched back to 304 DPI, I am not getting Google PS fc anymore....

So concluding: 320 DPI, 304 DPI are ok... and 288 DPI giving FC

Hope I helped all those with Google Playservices FC.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] achkap:
It's not only slim gapps. I'm using pa gapps stock and I have constant fc of play services. I am on 250 DPI but I always am on such DPI but this is the first time I'm having this problem. I use RR since 5.4.0 but this is the first time I have this problem.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Scorpionea:
yep this makes much sense,as i also noticed it was all fine untill i changed DPI to 256 and since then FC started to happen only on google services,atm im using PA gapps and so far i got only one FC
[Galaxy S III Android Development] amitbhatt89:
Using BaNkS-dynamic-gapps-L-5-27-15 and no FC's at all

Using since last hour and everything is working fine , hope to not get any errors ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] myshakugan:
Just clear the cache of gplay services. Solves the issue. You have to clear the cache of gplay services after every time you reboot the phone, or the FCs return. Not a permanent solution, but good enough for now.

And it's not a slim gapps issue, it's a problem on Google's side. People who are unrooted and on stock rom also have these gplay services FCs.

folders apps not displayed in battery saver mode

Hi there,

I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 (international) and I love the Resurrection Remix rom, so far the best one for my old phone.

Is there somebody having issues with the battery saver mode?

When the battery saver mode is active and I tap on a folder, instead of seeing the apps inside of that folder, the screen is emptied and I see just the background picture. I can't do anything in that state, the phone is unusable.

More details about this issue on the resurrection remix forum: i9300 Bug: on Battery Saver mode, app folder contents not displayed

Thx for letting me know. (OR if you are a DEV and can test on a Samsung i9300, to reproduce and in case you can reproduce, to fix this, even better ;) )

[Galaxy S III Android Development] cobras3:
Confirmed! shut off the battery safe mode and then hold the menu button for recent apps> clear and then it should be everything fine
[Galaxy S III Android Development] firepol:
Unluckily it didn't go fine again... I managed to reboot, but now I occasionally get this error message:

I have to tap like 5 times to make this error go away... but then it comes back... it's annoying.

I tried to wipe the cache and dalvik cache, but this error message is the first thing I get when all apps are updated and my home screen is displayed.

I guess I'll flash again the rom and gapps... maybe I'll flash the 5.4.5 version of last week (not optimized). That one was really stable besides the battery saver bug (which I hope will be fixed, I'd like to use the battery saver to save some battery...)

Anyone that has a easy solution to this issue?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] AndroidDeveloperLB:
I have a very weird issue that I'm not sure if it's because of the rom, or because of something in the hardware:

many times, even though the device is connected via USB (PC/Charger), the battery is actually discharging.

Sometimes it shows the spinning animation of being charged yet it's super slow (or discharging).

One day it was connected to the car's charger while navigating, and the battery drained quickly. So quickly that the device has turned off and I couldn't use the device.

Could it be something faulty in the USB port of the device (I don't know what it's called - the place you plug the USB cable into) ?

Sometimes, though, I charge using the same cables, and everything seems to work fine... Maybe even better than ever.

I just can't find the cause for this. Only that it's frustrating that much that I consider to buy a new device.

Thx bmad for the answer.

#Most welcome mate.

Yes I knew the [ROM] [5.1.1] [LOLLIPOP] [i9300] RESURRECTION REMIX 5.4.5[CM12.1-BASED] thread on XDA ;) I followed the intructions there: recovery, nandroid backup, flash rom, flash gapps, wike cache, wipe dalvik cache. No problems so far. The Only thing that doesn'0t work is this specific issue I mentioned about the battery saver mode...

#After nandroid backup. I manually via recovery. Format /System/Cache optionally /Data this = a true Clean install. As i suspect that just flash Rom Over rights /System not cleanly. Hope you see my thinking/method. Know its a pain to re-instal Apks/App/Datas.

Oh about gapps, the link in the XDA forum points to a non existing file.

#Yes you are correct. Can you let Dev/OP know please. Or go backwards in Web link as files are there.

The gapps I used so far are the ones I found in the resurrection remix "downloads" page (which is a thread in this forum, actually)

These ones: gapps-5.1-2015-04-20-15-56-24.zip

Should I use different gapps, if you have some more recent ones, or minimal ones or just better ones, please share the link... under "hottest files" on androidfilehost I also saw something... (e.g. gapps-5.1.x-20150404-minimal-edition-signed.zip)?

# Try Rom without Gapps first as suspect Gapps are volatile with new Lollipop eco/system. Hard to explain my reasoning. Then any LP Gapps of your choice when ready. Note Gapps are now Bigger than Android OS. If thats a clue?

File browser I use: Total Commander. But I'll give ES File Explorer a try. THX.

#You will really enjoy ES File Explore.

I will fill my signature and later post also on XDA.

#Excellent. As Sig/small amount of info Says a lot.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] firepol:
Thx bmad for your advise! Yesterday I don't know what I did, but because of the "Unfortunately Google Services has stopped" I tried to flash the previous version of the rom (Resurrection_Remix_LP_v5.4.5-20150518-i9300.zip - not the optimized version of 20150528.

I got in boot loop. After optimizing my 142 apps the system was appearing with a few errors like (Trebuchet has stopped) (or similar, was disappearing very fast) and then rebooting, and optimizing my 142 apps again... I tried to restore my nandroid backup, flash gapps again etc. but nothing worked.

Today I tried to wipe data/factory reset, then manually format the /system and /cache partition, and flash only the rom, without the gapps. Doing like this I could reboot in the system.

Then I rebooted and restored my nandroid backup of the previous rom: v5.4.5-20150518

Result: my phone just restarts a few times (I see the Samsung logo then it reboots at this point a few times) and after the 3rd time CWM appears.

It seems that it's impossible to restore my nandroid backup, why? Wasn't a nandroid backup supposed to be restorable?

What should I do? Seems I can't install a previous version of the rom. I guess I must stay on v5.4.5-20150525-i9300_optimized ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] exjc1986:
Had the same issue with an older version of RR. I think CWM is the culprit here, update your recovery to latest version of TWRP using the ODIN Method. Then boot into the recovery and wipe everything and flash the ROM. Don't know if your CWM nandroid will be compatible with TWRP, but atleast I think you can get your ROM working.

updated solution to get out of the boot loop

Thx man, I ended doing like this:

Wipe data/factory reset, then manually format the /system and /cache partition, and flash only the rom, without the gapps. Doing like this I could reboot in the system. Then I rebooted and installed my old gapps that worked so far.

Then I had to add my account etc. like if it was a new phone (or new rom). At least I have Titanium Backup but still it's quite a pain to re-install everything like this. Lost a few hours...

I will try TWRP... seems CWM is not popular anymore? I also had trouble (status error 6, installation aborted) flashing the newest tk pico or tk nano gapps and somebody suggested also to update to TWRP.

Question: if I backup say my actual rom v5.4.5 and next week I install v5.4.6, is it possible to restore my 5.4.5 backup?

Or the restore works only with the same rom version? (I read somewhere that cyanogenmod can't be downgraded, so it's not possible to install an older version...)

I'm asking because I have the feeling that the restore works if you don't update a rom to a newer version (or newer kernel or whatever, a component seems can't be downgraded). Can somebody confirm this?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] FantasyFlow:
Yes, nandroid backup is meant for that purpose. Rom/kernel/modem flashing failures can always be solved by restoring from nandroid back up. Nandroid backup can be done through custom recovery like TWRP or CWM or I dont know what else.

Yes, I believe the Development for CWM for I9300 has been discontinued. So there have been no new CWM versions for a while I guess. I was using Philz Touch Recovery earlier however the development was discontinued by the developer. So I had to switch to TWRP after I had issues with multiple ROMs, flashing was fine, however, it used to cause unforeseen FCs and boot loops. Updated to TWRP and haven't had a problem since.

Camera not saving GPS location in photos

Hi forum, hi RR DEVs, I think I found a bug:

The stock Camera app of Resurrection Remix doesn't save the GPS location of the photos.

Of course I have Location turned on. I enabled the save location option in the Camera app.

I installed Google Camera. With Google Camera the location is properly saved in the meta information (EXIF) of the photo.

To verify this I installed GPS Photo Viewer use GoogleMap.

I went outside, took a picture with the stock camera. Then I took another picture with Google Camera.

I checked with GPS Photo Viewer and the 1st picture has no "POI", the second (made with Google Camera) has the location.

Maybe a Lollipop bug, maybe a RR bug? No idea, I just know I need the location in my photos and with the stock camera of RR this feature doesn't work.
