For running smootly the CM12 is still in development.

If compare cm11 rc3 vs leatest cm12 version the kitkat gonna blow lollipop.

But that is not the reasson for using cm12.

Whit cm12 you got beatiful system graphics and theming. The rom look really good. Im using Material Glass Theme. Its the best for cm12.

CM12 use 25-30% more ram then the leatest cm11.

Cm12 got brighter display. In the performance point of view is fast but still need to be optimized.

The rom is great. You got leatest CM12 whit all of cyanogenmod futures.

Battery same like the stock maybe becouse the kernel is base from original Androd 4.4.2.
[Galaxy S3 Neo Original Android Development] friendfriend:
I wanna install CM12 but i dont know is it possible to get warranty back because of Knox?

And is camera quality same as stock camera?

Thank you!
[Galaxy S3 Neo Original Android Development] Laurisss:
ram is the same. CM12 is faster then CM11 and always will be. I underclocked to 1ghz and the phone is still fast. Underclocked GPU to 320Mhz(default 450Mhz) and can still play games without lags with this setup. But Havent tried any hardcore games.

Dude, I overclocked to 1.6 Ghz and got pretty much the same battery life :D
[Galaxy S3 Neo Original Android Development] pepso65:
For me, CM12 is laggy, CM11 is faster, stock ROM with removed bloatware is fastest and has the best picture quality of Samsung camera and the best battery life.
[Galaxy S3 Neo Original Android Development] Rox:
Because overclock is fake

[MENTION=2628909]pepso65[/MENTION]

I wouldnt agree with you. For me cm12 is better than any ROM available for our device, in every aspect
[Galaxy S3 Neo Original Android Development] Sp/\ce:
Really? Well that sucks.

@Rox

Are you going to work on cm 12.1 and if you are, is it going to be a new rom on it's own or an update to this one? I heard they fixed the memory leak on 5.1.

Hi Rox. I'm a Italian developer, I'm really good in java and C and I already build CM for my previous phones (Acer liquid and galaxy nexus).

I will get an s3 neo as my new main phone in a couple of days.

If you want we could work on cm12 for s3 neo together.

Let me know if you're interested and if I can talk with you privately (irc, hangout, Skype, ...)

nah man cm11 and cm12 is way ahead touchwiz. 900mb free ram vs 700mb free ram. See the difference? I dont know whats the problem with cm12 for you. Undercocked TO 1GHZ - And still smooth... the battery atleast for me is not that good. No wakelocks but maybe some app is just draining it. I will have a look at better battery stats.

[Galaxy S3 Neo Original Android Development] davide barbagrigia:
The biggest issue of this rom is the malfunction of the brightness sensor. It takes several seconds to regulate when the ambient's light changes, it cause the flicker of the display when regulating and sometimes when i turn off the screen (with the power button) it turns off very slowly ! The phone goes crazy! maybe because of the malfunction of the brightness sensor whitch is regulating even in the moment i turn off the screen.

Another problem (maybe caused again by the brightness sensor) is that when i turn on the screen it takes several time to switch on (comparing with my friend's moto g) and it illuminates suddenly with a micro flicker. This issue persists even if i turn off the autoregolation of the illumination of display. I used my friend's moto g 2nd gen with the stock motorola lollipop software and when i turn on the screen it turns on very fast and illuminates progressively also with the black and white screen animation. These issues aren't caused by the heaviness of the OS (programms) because they persist even if i format the phone. :crying:

PS: I never had these problems with the samsung's rom and with the stockmod rom of this site.

if you are on stock rom then download google camera and try. CM12 has an outdated google camera version.
[Galaxy S3 Neo Original Android Development] pepso65:
No, it is not. Buy A better camera app in Google Play store, it is better than Samsung camera app. It has HDR and DRO function also. See my 2015 photos done with the app (CM12) on Instagram [MENTION=6305915]ppsota[/MENTION]

2 days ago I wrote that the battery life is great. Now it seems like I have the same problem I had with cm11. "Android system" is using more than 20% of battery life. My battery loses about 12% during night when I'm not using my phone. Any ideas what could be the problem?
[Galaxy S3 Neo Original Android Development] 551790:
Yes, same here. Android System uses most of the Battery life.
[Galaxy S3 Neo Original Android Development] Sectorian:
Dont enable any tweaks. If you doo that you phone will not enter in deep sleep mode and will drain your battery.

A fresh install will be purfect. If the system is not smooth that is becouse the cm12 is under devepment.

I install only Bravia Engine v3 for better video and movie qualitty.

I'm using latest build (20140324). So far everything is working fine. On last build I had problem with SystemUI app crash on horizontal screen.

If I will install CM 11 and flash CWM recovery, after I install CM 11 and want to install CM 12, I must flash TWRP or I can use CWM?

[Galaxy S3 Neo Original Android Development] henk134:
Hallo Rox.

Thank you for this rom, it works very well.

I 've got a question about the changing of the MAC bluetooth-address.

If I do a logcat about it: adb logcat bt-btif:D *:S then I get:

--------- beginning of crash

--------- beginning of system

--------- beginning of main

if I set bluetooth off and on I get (somewhere in the middle):

....

E/bt-btif ( 5731): btif_storage_get_adapter_property service_mask:0x2140040

D/bt-btif ( 5731): AG evt (hdl 0x0001): State 0, Event 0x0500

D/bt-btif ( 5731): AVRC_Open AVRC_Open role: 1, control:3 status:0, handle

W/bt-btif ( 5731): ***********************************************

W/bt-btif ( 5731): BTIF init BDA was 0C:B3:19:E1:EF:11

W/bt-btif ( 5731): Controller BDA is 00:A0:C6:46:22:FC

D/bt-btif ( 5731): btif_hf_upstreams_evt: event=BTA_AG_REGISTER_EVT

..

..

if I give in shell the command:

cat efs/bluetooth/bt_addr

0c:b3:19:e1:ef:11

So that gives me my factory bluetooth MAC address.

Is there some way to set the bluetooth MAC address to the factory one instead of the randomized one?

In that case I don't have to pair my headphones every time bluetooth went off.

thanks in advance.

That is a great news. Rox finally gonna make a CM 12 whitout bugs thanks to the new lollipop kernel.

And hope we see a battery improvments (for me battery now is great on cm12), maybe dual sim working and finaly a nfs services.

Cyanogen delay CM12 Stable version. Perhaps around in one mount we will have a stable cm12 not nightly whit lollipop source kernel.

I tried this option (rename keystore.msm8226.so to .org) , It seems to do SOMETHING, still doesn't ask me for a password, reboots after a few minutes, but then is stuck at "Android is Upgrading - Starting Apps" for hours. Have to pull the battery and Format /data (wiping Dalvik, Data and Cache) does not work.

Recovery Mode does says "cannot open storage", ask for a password (my 8-char PIN works), then says storage succesfully decrypted, after which I can browse it.

Will run it with ADB active soon (tomorrow probably). Need to find a Windows PC somewhere first...

[Galaxy S3 Neo Original Android Development] SpaceDye:
Developing a rom takes a lot of time and effort, and there are bound to be issues here and there that will eventually be ironed out. You accept that as a tester. Dismissing a rom as "trash" when it's only been in development for a few months is an insult to the developer. You shouldn't be testing roms on your daily driver anyway.

I tried it like 4 times, still nothing. Look guys, there is something I don't understand. Why would my phone continuously scan for available wifi when I'm already connected to my stable home wifi?

Ohh, and also if I turn of the wifi on the phone the wakeups stop. So that saves some battery life. But still...it is painful to not be able to use wifi :(
[Galaxy S3 Neo Original Android Development] Laurisss:
so its something with your router then i guess? Try restarting it.

No man, I mean I'm connected to wifi but the BetterBatteryStats keep showing me that my phone is scanning,

I got a ton of wakeup alarms every minute from this: com.android.server.WifiManager.action.START_SCAN

And my router is not an issue here. I tested it on 4 routers in the past few days. The issue is that scanning won't stop even if I'm already connected to wifi.

Camera problem

Greetings guy's. I have the same bug with the camera also like on the stock ROM. The camera works perfect, but sometimes I can't use it bcs "camera is not able" one restart fix it until the next time. So the camera fix it's supposed for this case or its only for fully not working camera ?
[Galaxy S3 Neo Original Android Development] wetito:
with camerafix my camera works fine
[Galaxy S3 Neo Original Android Development] 551790:
Make a backup and test the fix.
[Galaxy S3 Neo Original Android Development] sev3n1985:
Because the default true permission of bt_addr is 755, when you install a CM rom it's changed in 640 and mac address is only readable and changes every time, isn't static.

This causes problem when pairing with a device like a car bluetooth & co.

I've already tied with a complete stock rom (new S3 Neo) and i see permission set to 755

After CM it's changed in 640 (only readable) and mac address changes every time

When you come back to stock rom it remains to 640 so you need to set the correct permission.

You can see also in source code, file init.qcom.rc the wifi mac address is set to 0755, like IMEI & co.

https://github.com/Rox-/android_device_samsung_s3ve3g/blob/d7adda01919904737ddcf6621ea14cfc0198a196/rootdir/init.qcom.rc
[Galaxy S3 Neo Original Android Development] 551790:
Ah. Ok thanks for the explanation. I did change the permissions to 755 now.

EDIT: After a reboot it's back to 0640 :confused:
[Galaxy S3 Neo Original Android Development] sev3n1985:
Because the init rom script put to 640 value. Change manually without reboot and you have a static mac address

[MENTION=4947931]Rox[/MENTION] please fix the init script with the correct permission.

[Galaxy S3 Neo Original Android Development] sev3n1985:
Yes,0755 [MENTION=4947931]Rox[/MENTION]: about the second sim problem seems that need a config to recall second imei from efs folder, i see the source and find only a first call from efs partition.

To Neo dual sim user: could you see in EFS folder with root browser folder imei how many files do you have? Maybe I'm wrong but dual sim have two different imei and to work needs a double recall from EFS folder
[Galaxy S3 Neo Original Android Development] ZyXELis:
Rox, can we get a fix (the init, I believe, should be changed also?) for CM11? I will move to this (CM12) ROM eventually when it's stable enough for everyday use so my wife won't complain about something not working :) Great work on the ROM, btw :good:
[Galaxy S3 Neo Original Android Development] Mike20017:

[Galaxy S3 Neo Original Android Development] Rox:
[MENTION=5678810]henk134[/MENTION]

Sure it will be fixed, jsut wait new release. for now you can make init.d script that sets permission to 755

Write this inside:

setenforce 1

Change permission of that file to rwxr-xr-w and reboot to see if it takes effect :)
[Galaxy S3 Neo Original Android Development] henk134:
The /system/etc/init.d map is read-only. There is a script that points to /data/local/userinit.sh .

I've wrote it there and executing it manually it works. But afther a reboot it seems this script is executed before the init.qcom.rc script, so the file rights are set back to 640. :crying:. maybe putin a sleep command?
