The issues were lte, that's probably why you didn't notice. But its handled now. Also tethering won't send data. But philz works fine, just some prefer twrp and it won't work on VM.

Under this menu, how do you use the cLock lockscreen widget to display on lockscreen?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
The clock is always displayed on lock screen. Lollipop removed lock screen widgets. But you can turn on weather in lock screen. Then you have clock and weather, thats it.

Thought I should duck in and say how much I'm loving the 0429 build on my VirginMobile d2spr. No FCs, camera(s) working awesomely... WiFi, data and bluetooth seem to be flawless... Peppy and smooth (it seems to me). A real pleasure to use! Kudos to all involved! (Now, where's my NEXT nightly?! ;D )
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Awesome Donkey:
Was able to test 3G today, it works fine. So all that we need is the VM APNs to be added for data to work correctly by default.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wayne-of3:
Just flashed 4/29 nightly and can confirm hotspot is working. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
I'm on 4/29, I got hotspot to connect fine. Just no data flow. None at all.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wayne-of3:
That's strange. I flashed nightly,gapps and APN zip with lrs121 twrp for virgin. Booted and let settle in. Then back to recovery and reflashed just the ROM and data works.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bdportil:
Excited about this ROM

Wow, I've been laying low for awhile waiting for someone to fix the issues for our phones on Lollipop, and here I find all my dreams come true... save one. Before I go wiping and installing and moving to Lollipop, has the WiFi hotspot issue been fixed yet? Because of the unreliability of my current home WiFi network, and because I have unlimited data via Sprint, I use my WiFi hotspot ALL THE TIME. I want to be sure it will work when I need it, due to the unpredictability of when I'll need to fire it up.

[edit:] Does the WiFi tether issue affecting both Sprint and VM/BM versions?

Thanks for the info, and thanks so much for all the work on the camera, data, etc issues that have plagued Lollipop ROMS on the GS3! Once this issue is solved, I'll be on this in a second, and willing to donate if it turns out to be as good as I think it will!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
I have data, just no data being sent through hotspot. I haven't done a clean flash of latest nightly yet though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wayne-of3:
Oh, you can get hotspot to connect to device but not to internet? Worked for me. Hopefully works after clean flash.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wayne-of3:
I'm on 5/3 nightly now. I had that problem on unofficial virgin mobile build but as soon as I clean flashed nightly hotspot worked.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bdportil:
Sweet, thanks. Nandroiding my old setup now and will install and try it out.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] loopytee:
5-3 nightly. I can confirm that the hotspot is working. Just used it for over an hour with my macbook. I'm on Sprint.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] chuckenheimer:
Is the better suggestion to dirty flash the new nightly 5/3?

EDIT: BTW, AICP OTA doesn't d/l the file for me. Need to find another alternative or figure out what's wrong with OTA. Anyone?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
If you started with the VM fix build, you have to clean flash an official nightly to have ota work.

Download it from the aicp downloads page. The builds for d2spr.

http://dwnld.aicp-rom.com/?device=d2spr
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] chuckenheimer:
Sorry, I not familiar with the VM fix build. All I can say is I just clean flashed the 4/29 build only recently. Is this what you are referencing?

Also, I've already d/l'd the new 5/3 build and am currently doing a nandroid backup in preparation.

Since I have your attention :) is it necessary to reflash my GApps package after this new nightly? THANKS AGAIN!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
No you shouldn't have to. They have addon.d support. I think it depends on which gapps you used.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] eurohunter:
Guys I think I need your help! :(

I tried to install this Rom. My phones is the 710T version from Virgin Mobile. The procedure that I used was (with philz recovery): clean wipe, flash rom (i tried most recent nightly, but also 4/26 with eri changes), flash gapps for LP, flash APN fix R2. I see no data. Under phone info, baseband shows as Unknown. I tried to dirty flash just the rom after that, but still the same. After the initial boot it says Activating cellular service - this might take up to 5 minutes, but then it shows a message saying that it failed to do so. I am wondering if I am doing anything wrong or this Rom (or any other lollipop rom here) is simply not compatible with the 710T version.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
Yeah I'm not sure about the t model. Better off sticking to known working Roms for that model. Octos lollipop ROM works, they have a build just for the triband model. And for gapps, make sure you get 5.1 gapps not just 5.0. All these Roms are 5.1.1 now.

Here ya go!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] eurohunter:
Thanks a lot madbat99. Gonna give it a try for sure! :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] biggepac:
does this work for the 4.4.2 boost mobile sph-l710t?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
Doesn't look like it. Eurohunter tried, couple posts back from here, and had trouble. Try the one I linked in my previous post. It works for sure. Its 5.1.1 as well. [MENTION=6526470]biggepac[/MENTION] , [MENTION=4422232]eurohunter[/MENTION]

Use the build linked in post 4 of that thread. It says boost but its for all the triband S3's. Just use the proper APN fix.

This post has the spark (sph-L710t) build.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] upconvert:
Everything is working well for me on the 5/3 build, except for one weird bug. It has to do with live wallpapers. For some reason, on a few different wallpapers, the colors are screwed up. For example if I set it to orange, it shows up as blue. Then, occasionally, it will flash back and forth from the correct color to the incorrect color. I can make this happen reliably by pressing the menu button. When I try to do a screen record, it just records as the correct color, even though that's not what it looked like when I was recording. Same goes for screen shots. I thought maybe some sort of backup restoration could be responsible, so I did a clean install and downloaded the live wallpaper from the play store before I did anything. I still had the problem. I saw the exact same behavior with another live wallpaper.

Anyway, this is a very minor bug, and the rest of the ROM is so very great!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] loopytee:
5/3 nightly. Having a problem with Bluetooth. Once connected the stream of audio pauses and skips and generally sounds like a poor connection. I've tried the same audio files without Bluetooth and they sound clear and good. Anyone else experiencing bluetooth issues?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] upconvert:
I've had those issues since December kk builds. They are 95% gone for me on the last 2 builds. It often happens for me when switching from WiFi to mobile data or vice versa. Most of the time it can be fixed by pausing playback for a few seconds.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] -Kryptic-:
does this work on s3?

I have an I9300 does the rom for the i9305?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] octantcomp:
I have the same bug. Not just wallpaper, but in the game too..

Sent from my SPH-L710
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KGBoston:
Does my phone have to be activated before flashing to get voice service? I flashed the ROM to my old s3 and then activated it and everything is working (LTE/data) except voice calls. I get a message saying "your account could not be validated" sprint reps couldn't figure it out.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] FatalIll:
Yes, you're going to have to go back to TouchWiz and activate/Update PRL and then flash a new ROM.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] upconvert:
A dirty flash of 5/5 fixed it!

Phenominal ROM with a few very minor niggles...

So I've been on this ROM for two days (5/3 nightly on Sprint). I have a list of praise that's too long to heap on here, so I'll just throw out a few highlights:

-Lots of custom options built into ROM, very very clean integration into menus.

-Great stability and speed- my S3 hasn't been this responsive since I bought it 4yrs ago.

-Good battery life. 4yo battery is no doubt winding down, but it's got a new lease on life.

-I LOVE the fact that it has a night-time color temp option built in. Was using Twilight app before. Not sure if this is added or built into Lollipop, but it's rad.

-Somehow WiFi range is increased- same networks, way bigger range and clarity of signal

-Most critically: The important stuff (to me) works! Sprint LTE/3G, WiFi tether, camera, speakers, GPS, reading my micro SD, etc all work great.

So here are my niggles. They are very minor, but I wanted to throw them out there to see if anyone has solutions or the dev can fix:

-Selecting boot animation in theme manager apparently has no effect. I prefer boot animations that are darker, and I am unable to change boot animation from the cool but VERY bright stock boot animation. I could download one separately and change it in the "more ****" menu (awesome, btw), but all other aspects of theme selection appear to be working. If anyone can tell me where to find the boot ani file manually for an installed theme, that would be boss.

-As a lefty, I appreciate the ability to put the "dismiss all" button in recents on the left side. Is there a reason the option for left-side button placement couldn't also be built-in/available in the notification pulldown? While I like having it on the left in recents, it's almost worse for them to be different in different menus.

-I miss my advanced RAM bar in recents.

Anyway, these are very minor. So far I love this ROM, and it makes my old phone feel new. Restoring app backup data from 4.4.x roms using Ti backup seems to have worked fine as well, no FC or glitches yet. Very cool. I'll likely also put it on my old Nexus4 which I use for international travel. If development continues, I'll likely run it on whatever new phone I get next. Thanks for continued development for older devices and keep it up!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bdportil:
Oh, I know where the current one is, I was trying to isolate the one that came with a theme (Dark Materials CM12/12.1) installed from the Play Store. But actually I solved my own problem. I forgot I hadn't done a full reboot after the switch- just soft reboots. I don't know if that was it, but I tried again through the built-in Theme switcher, did a hard reboot and it worked like a champ.

Installing the MAKO 5/3 Nightly on my Nexus4 as well. This ROM is sweet.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ClintE1956:
This is interesting. I copied an installed theme app's .apk file from a different phone to the computer, treated it like a .zip file, and extracted the bootanimation.zip file from <filename>.apk\assets\bootanimation folder. Copied it onto the d2spr phone running aicp, changed the boot animation to new file, restarted, and it was there (albeit in hires, so the animation was larger than on the original phone where the theme is installed).

Came back here to reply and saw your post, so checked the bootanimation.zip file in /system/media folder on themed phone. It's the bootanimation.zip from the rom (cm12.1 for toroplus), not the theme.

Searched /system on themed phone for bootanimation*.* and only came up with the one .zip file in /system/media, but there is also a small 34k file in /system/bin called bootanimation (no extension) that I opened with text viewer and found "/system/bin/linker" near the beginning of the file. Is this file pointing to the theme's boot animation under some other filename?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] semdoc:
Not from themes.. Guys, you can change your bootanimation from AICP Extras -> Various **** -> More **** ;)

Also tap a few more time on the blank area just under Clock settings ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] chuckenheimer:
Is it a known problem with trying to video through the rearward facing camera? I had the phone reboot once I executed the command. FYI.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ClintE1956:
Cute ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] maheboi:
Just wanted to know, does anyone have issues running large games like grand theft auto san Andreas, where the phone lags to the point where the game is unplayable. To help the problem I had to lower the display settings to their lowest possible. However, even with the lowest settings it would still lag. Would anyone have any idea why it is like that, or how it could be fixed?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bmx26:
I can't install the latest system update every time I click on install ROM and hit reboot now it doesn't reboot not sure what the problem is. I had to manually install it through philz recovery
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
It doesn't support philz. Pretty sure you need Twrp for using the ota updater.

FC and crash/reboot using front-facing camera

Just had my first major glitch. Running 5/3 nightly on Sprint S3 (SPH-710). Tried to use front-facing camera using Open Camera and the screen froze, then the phone rebooted. After restart, tried the stock camera and the exact same thing happened. Rear camera seems to be working ok, and Smart Unlock is working, so front hardware is obviously ok. I've also had one FC in Gmail (I used PA GAPPS 5.1). Otherwise this thing has been rock solid and super smooth. Will try updating to 5/5 nightly later today, but has anyone else had issues with the front camera?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Deth4all:
Does unleashed mode do anything besides show whats in "hidden $#!T"? So once there did any of you guys keep tapping dat ass? because if you do something magical happens. Love this ROM!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Jesse garron:
This rom has been flawless for me. The only thing I've experienced is the front camera crashes causing a reboot. Other than that I am very happy with this rom, speed and battery life are excellent so is data. Has anyone tried the official cm build?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
I tried it, its just like this rom but with waaay less features. This is much better.

Just tried front cam. Yep it crashes. If there had to be a bug, I'm glad that's it because I never use my front camera. Not too many grownups taking selfies.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wilberfan:
Heh heh. Yes, the front camera (at least using Open Camera and FV-5 on the 0503 build)--crashes and reboots the phone for me, too. Otherwise I can't think of any other issues? I notice there's a 0505 build available....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] upconvert:
I can't get the camera to work at all on 5/5.

Hey guys, I am looking to flash this rom on a friend's S3, I couldn't find a list of bugs - I was hoping someone could fill me in on that! :D Either way seems like some great work done here! GG guys!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wetbiker7:
Boost user here. This ROM is freaking SWEET! It feels good to be running AICP again. I haven't had a chance to test it 100 % but the 85 % I have tested is working great. 3G, LTE, WIFI, etc. are all working perfect. I'll give it a thorough run through tonight when I get home. I still need to test Bluetooth and the hotshot.

To the development team, AWESOME freaking job! Thanks for all your hard work.

LMAO! Thanks for the heads up on the hidden goodies. I'm surprised the phone didn't start vibrating with all that shaking going on. :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Powered_By_Linux:
Can you clean flash the latest nightly and have data working on virgin mobile? Do you need to do anything to get it to work? I was on the VM fix and dirty flashed the 5/5 nightly, but I want to clean flash to get ota and I need to wipe internal storage.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bmx26:
I noticed screen record doesn't work:confused::eek::eek:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] FatalIll:
Works just fine for me... Can you elaborate on where you're having a problem?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wetbiker7:
Screen record is working here too. To test, press screen record in power menu and it starts recording. Record for a little bit and then press stop in dropdown menu. I use QuickPic and the video was located under screenshots. I pressed play and the playback was perfect.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wetbiker7:
I just wanted to post battery usage after my 1st day of running the latest build. I'm using a 7000 mAh ZeroLemon battery and battery life isn't bad at all. Looks like I have a new daily driver. :thumbup:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] upconvert:
I think it might be because I dirty flashed 5/5 over 5/3 and broke the camera. A clean flash of 5/7 got it working again.

You can clean flash 5/7, I just did. You just need to do a full wipe, flash ROM, GAPPS, and APN fix, boot, Immediately power off and boot to recovery, dirty flash ROM and GAPPS. (Thanks to [MENTION=5752019]madbat99[/MENTION] for posting those instructions a few pages back). It's super kludgy, but it works.

Also front camera shows a preview when I pull it up, but when I try to capture and image, the phone reboots. I have also been getting really good battery life on these latest nightlies.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Powered_By_Linux:
Thanks. Is this method stable? I heard it didn't work reliably on late April nightlies. Does anyone know if we will have a fix for this soon so we don't have to do this alternate method?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] upconvert:
Very stable for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
It works. Not the most elegant solution but when you are flashing main carrier Roms on an mvno there are always going to be hoops to go through.

If any of you have had this phone a long time, you'll remember the early days of d2spr (before d2lte unified builds) you had to unzip the package and edit the updater script just to get it to flash on VM and boost. All Roms back then.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] upconvert:
It seems to me that there is one file in the APN fix that is missing from the ROM, and another file in the fix that breaks the data, so that the first time you flash you get the good file and the bad one, and the second time you flash the ROM, you overwrite the bad file and leave the good file. Beyond that, I have nothing helpful.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bdportil:
Front Camera...

Running 5/5 nightly on Sprint. Still getting reboot on front camera use in Open Camera and stock Camera. Downloaded and tried it with A Better Camera and it seems to work fine. Very strange. Anyone seen a fix for these issues?

Also, coming from the old Google Camera to the new one in 5.1, I'm pretty underwhelmed by the lack of features. Are people cool with A Better Camera as a daily camera app? Not at all impressed with the UI, but seems to be ok for basic features. Just curious. Also, if I use the free version, what important stuff am I missing out on? And why in hell can't you save to SD from either stock Google camera or ABC?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bdportil:
Open Camera is kinda crashing this ROM when front camera is used. That's why I was interested in other options that actually work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Jesse garron:
Hey guys,

I can't save pictures people send me. Is there a setting I haven't activated? I get the picture, and am able to view it however I can't save it. Loving this rom, best I've used.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Kannz2:
Um i flashed this to my sprint s3 and it doesnt get data is there a fix or something im not doing right? :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ClintE1956:
Did you flash at least official Sprint ND8 or NJ2? If so, then full wipe before installing this rom & gapps is required (data, internal sd, system, cache, dalvik).

I always back up user apps with Titanium Backup & only restore data for those apps I'm going to use on new roms (reinstall user apps from play store).

You might want to calibrate compass/gyro/maps while on nd8/nj2 before wipe, just so everything works properly (this has nothing to do with radios etc though).

Also, if you are using sprint airave at home, data (wifi turned off) does not work. Once outside the home & out of range of the airave, data should work (at least 3g, I haven't had decent enough tower strength where I live to receive 4g yet so would not know about that).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
What carrier? Sprint/VM/boost?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] octantcomp:
i use a better camera for daily use and its ok. I havent try the free version but the full version works great.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wetbiker7:
What's up bro? I just flashed the newest nightly and was coming back to point the member to your post outlining the proper procedure to get data working. Looks like you've already started helping him so I'll leave it be and let you do your thing. After all, your the one who helped me with the data issue lol. :D

One question........ I can't get the status bar clock to switch to 12 hour format. It only displays 24 hour format. I've checked in settings and the option to change from 24 to 12 hour format is greyed out. I don't think I've missed anything and was wondering if it's a bug. I was hoping the newest nightly would allow me to change it but after flashing, the option to change it is still greyed out. Really no biggie but I figured I would ask and see if you're experiencing the same issue.

I have to admit, it's nice to be able to run AICP as a daily driver again. Other than a few minor issues which are to be expected with nightlies, this ROM is running like a champ.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
Settings/date and time/24 hour format-->uncheck.

And you're more than welcome to link to the right post, if I type it one more time my head may cave in. Lol. Thanks bro.
