Can't enter recovery mode

Hi. When I was installing this rom I couldnt install gapps. So now i'm trying to access recovery mode and can't. It keeps showing the samsung galaxy s3 logo unless when I press the vol up, home and power buttons. If I release the buttons it just boots normally. What can I do? How can I install gapps without using recovery mode? is there something i'm doing wrong?

Thank you all
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mika83AC:
It seems you've corrupted your recovery in any way.

So first you shouldn't worry about the gapps. Your should now try to reflash a recovery via ODIN / MobileODIN. After that you can try to flash your gapps again via the recovery.

Can't install boeffla with version 8.4

Hi, why when i try to install boeffla, i have a bootloop?

Is there any solution?

I have 8.4 version.

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SgtChrischi:
Yes, use another kernel, for example arter97's kernel. Boeffla isn't compatible with 8.4.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ipp33:
DSP

Before, I was using the V8, and I did the dirty update with the V8.4. So now i have some laggy. I'm back V8, because for me is real good, also can use Boeffla.

Arter, when you bring back the DSP manager?, seriously AudioFX sucks.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] M1St3rZ:
Ok, thank you, but can i make overclock or underclock with arter97's kernel? Is there an app like in boeffla?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SgtChrischi:
Sorry, but since I don't use arter97's kernel I don't know. But if you wait for the next update of this ROM u can use Boeffla again.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Stevica Smederevac:
Yes and yes.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] M1St3rZ:
Thanks.. i have another question..

Is arter97 4.0.2 compatible with this rom?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kerelberel:
Where can I find that? Can't find it in the XDA post, his open dir or on this page: http://www.arter97.com/s3_kernel.htm

No mention of a config app anywhere..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Lukijs:
Just flash it..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] glimm3r:
Hey, I wanna just say thanks to devs cuz this rom gave my s3 a new life. Really great ROM.

Also wanna leave some feedback about my experience so far (1 month or so using this rom), since most of this thread's posts are to answer people's lack of search more than to help the rom itself.

So, when in battery saving mode FB messenger has an issue to recognize it has wifi conection, it might never conect or just do it briefly, even though other apps work well. This was an issue since version 7.6 (when I started using this ROM). I do realise FB messenger sux overall, but maybe it's rom related.

Also lately (version 8.0 and 8.4) i noticed, when in battery saving mode below 5%, locking and unlocking phone a few times it tends to change a custom wallpaper to the default one. The locking sound also is delayed a lot (3~5 secs).

Now this is one is a bit silly, but i play a lot Real Racing 3, and every once in a while there is some sort of input lag. The game keeps running as normal, but you lose all control for some time. More like the input you were giving the moment it happened remains locked untill it recovers. Worth mentioning is something changed from 8.0 to 8.4. It appears this input lag happens more often but with less duration.

All these issues were happening on stock rom, with stock and boeffla kernel, and micro-modular gapps. Modem is I9300XXUGMK6. No other system changes, oc or whatever. And yes, it's a clean install everytime.

Hope it's helpful in any way. Cheers :good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Stevica Smederevac:

It comes with kernel in zip file. After you flash the kernel,look in app drawer and you'll see aTweaks app(s)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] evilperro:
Any way to hide the clock from showing on the notification bar? Not the action bar, I found the option to hide that one. The bar that appears when swiping from the action bar.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kerelberel:
Kind of odd to include the kernel this way with 8.5 but without the config app.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Stevica Smederevac:
It's not the same kernel. You need to flash Arter's kernel. What you see in about phone ,under kernel, it is called Arter also but it's not the same kernel.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Nees3:
Arter97 just needs to recompile with latests CM12 sources and you can reeuse boeffla kernel. The change has been undone 2 days after 8.4 was build.

I hope he can do it soon, because I am getting nothing but black screens ALL THE TIME. never had that with boeffla kernel. (but that gave my gfx glitches :s)

Anyone else experiencing black screens? Need to reboot my device 4-5 times a day :( Feels like memory issue.

How can i enable an APP NAME, it seems disappear/hidden. What should i do?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kerelberel:
Yesterday I installed Arter's, made everything really slow. Suddenly it went into a bootloop (Samsung screen only) and I tried reflashing 8.4. Ever since release 8.4 has been a buggy piece of ****. Stay on 8.0 mate.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mnykz:
up. need help. huhu

[Galaxy S III Android Development] hisee:
i am also getting but in chrome
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
In Chrome, go to chrome://flags, find 'GPU Rasterization, and turn it off. Thank me later.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Marsbar:
Although I wouldn't be quite so rude I'm afraid I have to echo the base sentiment. I had found 8.4 to be much more laggy and eventually was becoming unusable (20 second wait to close chrome and go back to launcher), also BBC news app would FC. I did a full wipe and clean-flashed in case it helped but if anything that was worse: I finally gave up last night and went back to my most recent backup which is 7.0, which by comparison is fast, responsive and (afaict) bug-free.

Would love to try to debug the problem but there's nothing obvious in logcat output, is there anything I could do to help the devs figure out what made it suddenly so slow?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] arter97:
Thanks mate.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kerelberel:
Just frustrated. Don't take it personally ;) 8.4 just is unusable for most people, judging by the comments here.

It featured two major bugs which cause boot loops, major because many users here use them: Theme Engine and custom kernels. I think the periodical release of this ROM could be different. We could have bi-weekly builds, the extra time allows test users to check for major bugs:

Have a handful of test users who are the first and only people to get the new build. They report major bugs if there are any (bootloops, severe lag, crashes)

If there are no major bugs the ROM is released in the thread

If there are bugs it gets pushed back. We could have bi-weekly releases instead of weekly. Using an unofficial, but bi-weekly ROM for two weeks shouldn't be a problem because it's more polished than a weekly one. The test users make sure they report major bugs

Arter should include important bug announcements of the new build in one of the first posts. Just the huge bugs, not small ones. Spoilertags for every release so it remains readable. For example, last build caused bootloops for kernel users. At first he just posted "watch out for custom kernels", but later on he editted it in extra info on how it causes bootloops. Regardless, that is a post somewhere on page XXX. That's really important information and before a build is installed by the first downloader, he's the only one who is aware of such a major bug. If we do the bi-weekly thing he'll have more time anyway and feel less pressure.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mnykz:
Have you ever experience yet this kind of issue in v8.0? When i Open an App/Game, it will automatically close, more or less 5 - 10 secs. What should i do? I don't tap any Cancel/Back button in my S3. Thank you!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kerelberel:
Does this happen with all apps? Or a certain one? And if so, is it a cracked one? Because I've had that with a certain app. I installed a different version which did work.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
#sarcasm

Although, the latest build keeps having System UI FCs (pretty sure you're aware of that). This was fixed by the RR team today!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mnykz:
Definitely i tested in my Game which is Clash of Clans and Facebook which is automatically close and sometimes delay/lag especially when i chatting and replying. the keyboard delay to pop out.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] hisee:
enable 'GPU Rasterization' - disabled still same

That's weird. Try another kernel.

Hello!

Currently I'm on stock 4.3 and I'm sick of it. I want to flash this ROM as my first custom ROM. I know how to do it I flashed roms a few times(only stock ones tho). I just want to be sure that everything will go fine, so I have a few questions. I've seen on last few pages that people have some issues with latest V8.4 and and are saying that V8.0 is more stable and smoother, so I wanted to ask which one would you recommand me to flash? V8.0 or V8.4? And flashing from CWM recovery should do the job just as good as recommended Philz touch or TWRP, right? Is camera working fine or do I need to flash some kind of fix? And slow SMS sending is bug in android itself, right?

Thanks im advance and sorry for being noob a little bit :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] andreak:
Try 8.0 before, you can always update later... Use twrp

---------- Post added at 04:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:34 PM ----------

Twrp 2.8.5 Last version, if i'm not wrong... Of course camera stock is better and sometimes il stops (can't connect camera, there is a fix somewhere) i tried v 8.4, i went back to 8.0...

So apparently I get FC only when using themes.

Hi all,

thanks to the quick feedback of the testers, I can finally already release alpha10 for CM12 now.

It is a pure maintenance update to fix bootloop issues on newer CM12 based roms, i.e. Temasek 8.4, CM12 unofficial nightly by arter97 etc.

Both NG and non-NG kernels are updated with the same change log.

Version 3.0-alpha10

10.03.2015

* Ramdisk updated to inofficial CM12 nightly build of 09.03.15

Enjoy

Andi
[Galaxy S III Android Development] glimm3r:
Even if you're having issues with a specific build, I think it's not too difficult to be polite and respectful. There are people working on this for free, for a community, and some people just make their work feel unappreciated.

State your issues for a possible future improvement or a community workaround, but don't bash their work.

Has anyone tried boeffla alpha 10 on 8.4? I kinda miss that zram...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:

Ye, I figured whatever if i have to reflash everything so be it. And yes it works like a charm. 8.4 + boeffla kernel approved [insert seal of approval], now i have to wait and see how it behaves in low battery situations, cuz it was the only time I had some issues.

Yes... it works, i hoped Zram would fix it but doesn't seem the case. Never had that on 8.0. Might just be CM12 sources that has an issue, but i still get black screens with only status bar. It is like the user interface just quits, without error. I might be in an app and close it, might do a long press to get recent apps and goes black and need to reboot, might when opening an app, any app....

VERY VERY VEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERY annoying to reboot every time...

Camera fix

For everyone tired of rebooting each time the camera "disconnects" (this is actually due to a mediaserver process), this little .apk kills that process and fixes it without the need to reboot.

Be aware that I do not know the source of this .apk so use it at your own risk. It requires root access. I've been using it for a while now and it works great for me.

What's up with the interlacing while shooting video? Both on stock and Google Camera (the latter has some viewfinder issues as well), while 'a better camera' captures a completely glitched video. Any possible fix?

Anyway, it's nice and all, but in my experience it's snappy as long as I don't start switching between apps and doing other stuff. At that point it just starts to freeze up every once in a while. Yeah, I guess I'll just have to go back to KitKat and wait in hopes that CM makes an official version. Or someone releases a finished ROM. That works too.

How did you go back to v4.0? Is it just a simple zip flash on top of everything or do you need to wipe data?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] elhugo3:
It's a simple zip yes. In my case first flash a kernel cleaning and then the v4

4.0 is even slower, literally 10 seconds to get the Power menu to show up so I can reboot in recovery to install Boeffla again. What's the deal with his kernels?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] elhugo3:
That's weird, work fine for me. Maybe you have to do a full wipe, you could have some garbage stuff and that it's the problem
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kerelberel:
I did a full wipe yesterday after 8.4 crapped out. Went back to 8.0 and tried 4.0.2. Boeffla after that, your cleaning script + 4.0.0 after that, and now I'm back to Boeffla. I'll wait for version 5 or something :P Really I'm only interested in the CPU Max speed while-boot setting in Arter's config. I wish Boeffla had something like that.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] VonZigmas:
Well, v4 throws me in a boot loop. Both with and without the cleaner. Gonna go try out boeffla now.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] VonZigmas:
Yep. Restored from backup, flashed boeffla, booted just fine.

It says on http://www.arter97.com/s3_kernel.htm that 4.0.2 was meant to fix bootloop on latest builds, so I'm guessing that's why V4 failed for me.

Yes that's the weird thing. How knows ha

Second bug

With the release of boeffla 10, I tried flashing 8.4 over this working 7 and found on first boot it crashed and lagged repeatedly; however I rebooted it and with no changes everything is now flawless.

Could there be something in the boot sequence that might be failing transiently such that the phone then FC's and lags but after a reboot where that failure doesn't happen everything is fine?

I'm scared to reboot it again to see if it fails a second time, but if someone can come up with something to try to provoke the problem I'll give it a go...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ghostx7:
Ok. Weird issues with v8.4 . I just lost all my app data. I was listening to music and all of a sudden it went into a reboot. And my app data was gone. Now it doesn't even wanna boot up.

One thing i noticed is Whenever i plug in the earphones and listen to music, the phone becomes laggy as hell. And RAM usage goes crazy.

and it results in a reboot. Maybe a memory leak.

Will wait for the next build .
