Ten days since finding this (joyous) release, here are my observations running on d2can as d2att. I've read through much of this thread but couldn't get through the entire thing so I do know some of these have already been mentioned, and others could have.

Firstly though I'd just like to thank the devs. This is easily the best ROM I've used for my S3 - in fact at all - in pretty much every regard. Lollipop performs effortlessly and is a FAR better experience on this three-year-old phone than my "flagship" Nexus 9. The lag on the N9 has never been so noticable. :( Furthermore, battery life on my S3 has seldom been better, even with stock TW. I've been off-charge for 8-hours with admittedly light usage but phone is still above 70% and reporting 23 hours remaining. That's pipe-dream stuff! Phone has been almost 100% stable with only one System UI crash, and that's it. No reboots.

So, on to a few issues

cLock appears to be entirely broken. Always crashes trying to add as widget, and in settings > CyanideMods > Lock Screen

About 1:10 time, pressing the home button when phone is locked the the menu lights come on but not the screen and is unresponsive. Hit lock button, screen momentarily flashes lock-screen then turns off and locks again. Press home again and all is well

Black text on notifications, which I guess is a theme issue (//s29.postimg.org/ogo0vsyxz/16458943122_1051088941_obscured.png)

Lesser 3D gaming performance (constant stuttering) compared to CM11 and stock. Example played: Pumped BMX 2

Screen turns off but touch is still enabled during calls which causes havoc

Data reception seems to be inconsistent both in terms of speed, and also dropping in and out. When it's in use, causes massive battery consumption. 15-mins of web-browsing will kill 30-50% battery.

Font colour inside charge circle was default black so I didn't think it was working for a while. Set to white fixes it, but just a note for themeing

And some other requests

Lockscreen hard-button customisation from CM. The sliders are nice, but I miss being able to tap Home once to activate screen, then hold Home to enable flashlight which is very quick and easy to do... when it's already dark

Silent hours, not just notifications. It would be nice to have the option of completely silencing the phone between set hours rather than just ignore notifications, so any keyboard/lock/etc sounds are also killed and without having to use another app (was using IFTTT before CM)

Circle charge animation is a bit confusing compared to CM as yours increases from 0 to 100 in laps to indicate charging, whereas CM has the arc set at the %age and rotates entirely around the circle which at a quick glance is much easier to gauge

Only other issue I have is my GPS hasn't worked since CM11M11 update, but I think I've found how to fix that...

I can provide further info or logs on any issues if needed. Thanks again for the awesome ROM, look forward to the next update!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TheGeekyNimrod:
Game performance expect to get better with time. I play MC5 with no issue but they have updated since LP came out which probably helped. Most of the time, it's the game not being fully optimizrd for ART. Keep in mind, LP is not that high on the usage list so some developers are taking their time optimizing things.

Silent hours going away was a Google thing. Expect it to return with 5.1

Data reception, make sure you are on the latest modem. That has fixed it for most people. Never had an issue with mine when I was still using my GS3 as a daily.

Lock and screen responding when off during a call have been addressed and should be fixed in the next update. I will throw my sim in the GS3 to test this before relasing.

Battery drain during calls could be better understood using BBS or something similar. Shouldn't be dropping that bad that quick using data.

I can ask [MENTION=5554845]rogersb11[/MENTION] to look into the hardware key lockscreen stuff. Not sure how easy that is to bring up. He does the backbone work for the ROM so he would be the one to check into it. We have been trying to think of more features so that's definitely a good suggestion.

Hope that covers enough. There will be an update soon (not giving an ETA though) and many new features and fixes coming. Stick around!

You guys are looking for more features??? Euphoria (formerly Mahdi) has a left clock. I tried it, it actually looks good... I also saw a really neat one in Validus (I think). It had a thing where you could set up a greeting to appear in the status bar when the device was unlocked... :D

O.o I like the idea of the greeting that pops up. [MENTION=5554845]rogersb11[/MENTION] looked at left clock but something funky was going on with it. Not sure if he's still pursuing it or not.

KitKat version of Nameless had a great performance app... The app is open source and everything. It make a nice replacement for the crummy one that's included in the ROM. ;)

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.namelessrom.devicecontrol

Hell, even just getting rid of it would be awesome. I honestly think it sucks and would rather see the ROM allow the user to choose the kernel tuner app.

Edit: I was gonna ask about SlimRecents but I'll wait to see if Slim brings that back. Lol

Edit 2: I forgot about Vanir having a RAM bar in the recents... Missed that feature from KK.

You can install any performance control app and it will override whatever is set in settings. I put KernelTweaker on it for my son and it does great. SetCPU works good too, though not as many option s for fine tuning.

One of my favorite features in KK was Halo. Wouldn't mind seeing it in a future update. I'll second another when I say this is the best ROM to date on my GS3. Also I don't get any opportunities to flaunt my favorite ROM on my homescreen like I did with beanstalk and gummy. Some killer Cyanide wallpapers would be cool? TIA

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Hwulex:
After my GPS had been broken for a couple months with CM11M12 I reverted to stock and updated to latest firmware hoping it would fix but has not. I'm currently running baseband FNK2 (sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SGH-I747M/TLS/) but still having no luck with my GPS, but from what I can tell is the latest available. Is there a different recommended modem for my i747M?

I've not fixed it yet, but am planning to attempt steps from this thread to see if it works

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] JeepinxJosh:
I may have just figured out my problem with signal but I want to run it by you masterminds first... Looking in the cyanide about phone exta info I see I am using bootloader T999LUVAMB7 and I flashed the NC1 modem a few days ago and ever since had poor reception... I'm thinking its cuz the bootloader doesn't match the modem... now there is OFW AMB7 , BMK4, BNC1, and BNF4 all in order of release date NF4 being the latest aug 2014. now since my bootloader is the oldest version and my modem is the 3rd update of 4 possible... should I Flash the complete BNF4 OFW and MODEM to update my bootloader and baseband modem to the latest and then flash Custom recovery / root / flash Cyanide L 5.0 (kernals gapps all that) ??? and if so should I backup or store anything on the way so that I can revert back if needed?? what would be the smartest play here?

Thanks for the help.. this rom is awesome but I need the phone signal to work to enjoy it and this is one bug that the dev can't fix for me...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TheGeekyNimrod:
I don't know about d2tmo, but relatively speaking, for d2att, it's better to have matching bootloader/modem combos.

Somome with more knowledge of d2tmo will have to help you out as far as if they can be rolled back or not. Past a certain point on d2att, if you try to flash an older bootloader it will brick.

But again, someone with more d2tmo knowledge will need to chime in on this one.

Are they ever going to come up with a fix for the camera? its been 3 months! can't use it until it works reliable along with video. my phone is too important to me to be without those features. I could live with some of the other issues, but not the camera. hopefully they will focus on this, until this is done, the rom is pretty much a no go.

Thanks! Tried the method documented on the attachment. It worked for me BUT video would lock the app and require app kill and data clear to unlock. Need further research. Please provide the link for this attachment forum.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nirogu325:
Matching the modem with the latest firmware will only do you a favor. Otherwise, do a backup of your most important stuff (full format suggested after using ODIN).Download the latest ODIN firmware for your device which also contains the modem, then flash your custom recovery, then finally your desired ROM. Remember to keep that ODIN firmware stored in your computer for future reference and never download/flash an older ODIN firmware. Why? You will brick your smartphone if you do.

Switching back to Touchwiz

Is it possible to switch back to a Touchwiz ROM after using this? I tried to go back to Likewise S5, but it just stays stuck at the Samsung logo.

Any thoughts on this? Sorry if this was already answered. :good:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TheGeekyNimrod:
From what I've seen, yes. But you may want to clear internal storage when you do so. I've had to do that going back to anything previous to L. AOSP or Touchwiz.

Is it of any value to change selinux?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TheGeekyNimrod:
There's a yes and no to that. The yes part being that having it set to "Enforcing" has the potential to block parts of some apps that require root access. The no part being that a large majority of those root apps have been written to sort of circumvent the enforced settings.

The main reason it's enforcing right now is my bad and should be corrected in the next build to be permissive. But in the grand scheme of things, having it either way doesn't typically have a huge impact on the end user.

I don't think it was in the latest update. But it was also the older Shift kernel due to the config issue this time around. I can also set it in a prop override I believe, but haven't gotten there yet.

***NEW BUILD HAS BEEN POSTED***

Version 6.2 is now live and available for download. OP download link has been updated to point to the newest download. I also uploaded the new standalone Shift kernel and posted a link to it in the OP.

This version brings us an updated Shift kernel that flashes with the ROM so there is no need to flash it separately. Currently the only additional governor is zzmoove. Still working on the others right now and will probably have that updated before the next ROM release. Fast charge is now enabled as well as new TCP controls.

For a changelog of the ROM please visit this link in our G+ community.

Happy Flashing!

Not to be rude but its actually any short notification change so like even long press to skip track and its actually quit dangerous for the ears as it increases it to full volume until you can change the volume and with sound mods like faux and viper it becones ever more dangerous as they tend to push the levels higher already. If a logcat will help I'll try and capture one but I didn't think it would help; it was present it previous Build's too.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TheGeekyNimrod:
Yes a logcat would help. Always give a logcat when you find a bug. Also state if this is a clean flash, dirty flash, what kernel, etc.

I have never experienced this. Few people have or have reported it. Without a log as I cannot reproduce the issue, then I can't do anything to see what's up.

Yes, I was not sure if that was fixed. I didn't have the time to pull a SIM switch and test it. If you can, grab a log for us from right before you make the call until you end the call. Be sure tontap around on your screen so you know it's doing things in the background.

Maybe the log will hold some clues.
