Yeah, seriously! I have the 06/09 nightly installed and I've got reliable 3G/LTE working beautifully! Before this tricky fix, I just had spotty 3G working...

This nightly seems to have fixed a battery drain issue I had, too. I'm tempted to flash to the latest nightly now, but I'm also kind of wary of it possibly breaking what I've got right now... I'll look at the changelog.

quick query does this rom run on boost s3?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Awesome Donkey:
If you're using the non-T (triband) model, yes. But pay attention to the first page - you need to use the Boost APN fix. Be sure to follow the instructions!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nofroyo:
how do i verify if my phone has tri band or not?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
The model number. Sph-L710 non triband. Sph-L710t is the triband. That little t makes all the difference. If you don't know the difference, I suggest you do a lot of reading before flashing any roms. If you have the triband anyways. If not you're all good to flash any Sprint S3 roms, you just need the proper apn fix for your carrier.

What kernel app do you use with dkp kernel?

can't get camera to work

Hey guys.

First of all thanks to all the developers and testers here! :good: :highfive:

Installed [aicp_d2spr_lp-9.0-NIGHTLY-20150611.zip] + [gapps-5.1.x-20150329-minimal-edition-signed] thanks doc, it works great.

I'm on Freedompop so I can't remember if I just clean flashed the ROM+gapps ONLY or if I flashed the [Universal_Boost_APN_Fix-R2] along with it, however I'm sure the APN Fix R3 didn't seem to work for me. Nevertheless, I got 3g to work somehow but I could not get 4G LTE to work even with the recommended tips found herein but I'm fine with that since I do most web surfing via my wifi.

Anyway, upon further tweaks (ie installed Nova Launcher Prime) the default camera stopped working. It was functioning prior to the best of my knowledge. I'm sure I took a few pics to test it out and it was working; front camera not so much.

So I installed a couple 3rd party cameras: [Camera FV-5 v2.70] didn't work and [A Better Camera v3.33] also didn't work. So I think I'm going to have to uninstall Nova which is a bummer since I really like the extra features.

Also, the battery usage seems to be rock solid.

Just my 2cents thus far.

ps. sorry for the long post, it's my 1st on xda... I just got a OTA upgrade request for the 6/13 build. How does one go about that update so as to be on the safe side? TYIA
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] upconvert:
You flashed a very old build. New nightlies are under d2spr. Backup, wipe, flash new build from recovery. Read thru the last few pages of this thread to get the correct order to flash everything. There's a trick from Madbat99.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] esonder_:
huh? :confused: I'm fairly sure my build is just a few days old [aicp 6/11 NIGHTLY - d2spr]

unless I'm missing something...

Note: I tried uninstalling nova yet the camera is not responding. I'll clean flash then I'll update my results.

S3 D2SPR cannot see option to update PRL, Profile

S3 D2SPR which is CDMA device no SIM I cannot see option to update PRL, Profile, it shows APN settings instead instead of carrier settings. Can you please correct this so I can update PRL , I do get sprint cdma network.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
There is no "update prl or profile" in aosp or cm based roms. It only exists in stock or stock based touchwiz roms.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] esonder_:
I believe you have to flash to your TW (touch wiz ie stock) nandroid backup, update profile and prl from there, then flash back to your aosp rom...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] upconvert:
Sorry, I read the date wrong.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] esonder_:
Update on my issue

So, as I mentioned in my previous post camera stopped working after I installed Nova Launcher Prime.

So I clean flashed the 6/11 build + doc's GAPPS + APN FIX R2 and the camera is working again.

Still no 4gLTE though, I've tried the method mentioned here by madbat99, but it doesn't want to give me 4gLTE, it gives me 3g (on Freedompop). However, without the APN FIX R2 installed with the rom + gapps I get no service at all. So shout out to madbat99 for that :highfive:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Keezie:
been using this as my daily driver for about 2 weeks. love it. i've also been installing the nightly updates about every 3 or 4 days or so. I'm a very heavy user as i rely on my phone for work and i am constantly using it. Here are the only issues i have:

- random reboots are happening 4-5 times a day, usually while navigating with google maps

- taking a front-facing picture with the default camera app will crash the phone and cause a reboot

- while on the 5/25 build (or around that date) the AICP updater started force closing upon boot. just manually installed the 6-15 build. Still happening, even if i go into AICP Extras > AICP OTA

- Battery sometimes drains extremely quick. Like 10-15% within a few minutes. Rebooting will fix this, and i'm aware that this could be app specific. Battery manager will show that Cell Standby is causing quite a drain though

Other than these minor things, i love this rom. by far the best rom i've ever used on this phone. I've had this phone for almost 3 years and i've had custom roms on it since day one. Thank you for your hard work
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
For the ota crashing, just go into settings/apps/all and tap on the aicp ota app and clear cache and data for it. No more crashes. Front camera is an issue from upstream (cm12.1). All the cm12.1 based roms have the problem. Battery drain is almost certainly an app, however check and see what kind of network signal you have when you start noticing battery drain. Weak signal kills the heck out of battery.

Random reboots don't happen to me at all, so its something with your setup. Sometimes themes can cause that too. Hope this helps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ClintE1956:
You might try wiping /system, then flashing latest nightly and gapps (I always flash latest version of the gapps that I used to set up system initially, not sure if changing to different gapps works or not). I always wipe cache & dalvik after any flash. Backup everything (nandroid, internal storage, and user apps & data with TiB) first!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Awesome Donkey:
This is a known issue that will need to be fixed in CM. The camera works in A Better Camera.

---------- Post added at 02:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:59 AM ----------

When I cleaned flashed the rom+gapps+apn fix r2 I didn't get 4glte or 3g. So I went into settings>mobile network>preferred network type and change it from LTE to 3G and that gave me the 3g signal back.

I tried the trick of dirty flashing the rom+gapps (w/o the apn fix r2) after I cleaned flashed the rom+gapps+apn fix but then I didn't get any signal.

So, for freedompop just clean flash the rom+gapps+apn fix (don't remove it) then go to mobile network, and do what I mentioned above...that should give you 3g..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
That always worked for 3g. The 2nd dirty flash was for getting 4g. Shame it didn't work for you.

Camera problems again

Neither the original camera app or ABC app allows the back-side camera to operate. Taking a picture with either causes a stall of the app, a trap of the operating system and then finally a reboot of the phone. I've seen this pretty much consistently across most of our ROM nightlies but was surprised when I noticed that at one point over my history of use that the original camera did indeed work fine. I know of the problems associated with the CM 12.1 release but was hoping ABC app to perform as you suggested. FYI
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
Stock camera works fine for rear camera for me. It has for quite some time. I'm on the latest nightly. Front camera doesn't work, but I don't use it so I'm fine.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ClintE1956:
Stock camera and ABC working great here (back camera only). ABC recently updated to be able to save to external sdcard on lollipop. Always worked saving to sdcard custom folder setting before that, though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Keezie:
thank you to everyone who responded and gave me tips. i cleared the cache on the AICP OTA app and it fixed the force closing issue. i also froze about 35 apps that i'm not using on a daily basis. no crashes so far, so fingers crossed!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Deth4all:
So anyone notice less battery life with the latest builds? I'm gonna revert back to one from a month ago to see what happens...

Oh ya, and i get the USB debugging connected notification even after I unplug my phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Awesome Donkey:
Just noticed after a clean flash of the latest build that the power menu settings don't apply - settings shortcut, device lockdown and sound panel don't appear even though they're checked. I had to flash an older build first to access and modify these settings then flash the newest build.

Microphones are Reversed (freedompop)

So I read a few post back that someone had issues with the microphones being reversed.

I too have this problem. Has anyone else had this problem, or is it just for us freedompop users?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
Just freedompop, and hangouts.

I installed the nj2 update with Odin and installed the most recent version of twrp my phone is a Sprint s3 on freedompop. I'm not getting data...anyone know if another version would work? Or the right apn? Oh I'm on version 8
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
I think you needed to backup your apn before you flash this for freedompop. Also, why use version 8? Thats android 5.0, and the camera doesn't work, and is missing many features. Just use the latest nightly, 6/24 on 9.0. Everything works and its 5.1.1.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Kannz2:
So there any way to fix it? I feel like bending it in half an throwing it in the trash..also I put version 8 on it because it said its the most stable..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] esonder_:
I use [philz_touch_6.48.4-d2lte.tar] for recovery.

I used the 6/11 build: [http://dwnld.aicp-rom.com/?device=d2spr&type=NIGHTLY

I used Doc's gapps here: [http://xdaforums.com/android/software/gapps-consolidated-gapps-thread-t3064693 scroll down on 1st page till you see "Provider: [MENTION=3860593]semdoc[/MENTION]"

And the [Universal_Boost_APN_Fix-R2]

Clean flash the rom+gapps+apn, then go to setting>mobile networks change from LTE to 3G.

If you read my other post here, you'll see what I mean. On freedompop I have not been able to get 4gLTE even with all the tips found here, also, I had to go back to stock firmware since the phone's microphones are reversed, thus rendering the phone almost useless (sucks really) :(

But I had fun playing with aicp, it's a really great rom.

Maybe you'll have better luck with 4glte and the microphones, let us know how it goes.

Im a Freedompop user myself.

Here is a fix found in another forum for all things freedompop.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=60802322&postcount=158

The only changes to that are :

These values are actually

"persist.audio.fluence.mode" false

"persist.audio.handset.mic" analog

Im not sure why this is needed on this rom, and quite a few others. Ive only ran across the one I use as my daily driver that doesn't require any extra setup (You can PM me if you want it, it would be rude of me to plug another ROM in this thread)

Download and install the [Freedompop_APNs_fix_2015.zip] here: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3276659&d=1429735918

I just downloaded on to the internal sd card and booted into recovery, then installed the zip. I didn't do a clean flash (ie rom+gapps+apn). Keep in mind that I already had the [Universal_Boost_APN_Fix-R2] installed before the freedompop apn fix. Then go into settings>mobile network and make sure the 'perferred network type' reads LTE, also make sure that in APNs tab "FreedomPop LTE" is checked

Dialer issues (freedompop)

This weird thing happens when I try to make a call via freedompop messaging app which uses the stock phone dialer, it gives me this message "Unfortunately, dialer has stopped." Yet the call continues like normal, I just press OK and the freedompop messaging app stays open in the background and the call is placed.

I tried using the hangout dialer, and also the contacts+ dialer, they all give me the same message yet the call is placed.

I tried a clean flash and new gapps yet the issue still remains. It's more of an irritant than anything.

Any suggestions? :confused:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
Not sure what's causing it but I know you can stop the notification. In settings/various sh*t, you can select "disable force close notifications". Should work.

My carrier is Freedompop I flashed the most recent with gapps and the freedom pop apn fix. 4glte works fine but 3g doesn't work. It just goes from 4glte to no connection instead of 3g.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] esonder_:
Interesting. I went into mobile networks and changed the perffered network type to 3g and sure enough I didn't get any service. I know with the 'universal boost apn fix r2' I got 3g on freedompop but no lte.

But since I live in an area where I almost always have full lte bars I'm not complaining.

But if you live in an area that has weak lte signal then you might want to stick with the 'universal boost apn fix r2' and get 3g rather than the 'freedompop 2015 apn fix' which it seems only gives you lte....

side note, I tried to manaually add a boost mobile apn but it didn't seem to work...I'll add more manually and report back on any success..

Not sure what the story is or whether after a couple hundred flashes I ran into something I don't understand.... I went in using the latest Philz and prepared for a new ROM which formats the majority of partitions on the phone. I install the ROM (version 9) then the Gapps, reboot the phone and nothing. Noted during installation there was no system files installed? Checked the ROM to find out there is nothing in the System folder within the zip other than build.prop?? Not sure exactly how a ROM functions without system files but figured I would ask for some clarification...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
Sounds like a bad download. During install it should say " patching system image unconditionally". Did you look in the zip file you downloaded to see if it had a system .img?

Also, I would try the latest twrp instead of philz.

I tried TWRP Recovery (the latest one the TWRP Manager downloaded} and had the same result! I get the "patching system image unconditionally" but also get an error later on in the process regarding system but it says scriipt was successful and gives me an 0.200000 (or similar) after successful. I am confused.... The system folder DOES NOT contain a system.img and as noted in the earlier post the only thing in the folder is the build.prop. However, I downloaded the CM 12.1 ROM for the d2spr and the system folder is the same. It appears the only file that is large enough to contain system files is the system.new.dat file which does not seem to be doing anything?

I will try to install the CM12.1 ROM and see how that goes.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] len207:
CM 12.1 installed just fine using TWRP but the issue seems to be more with the boot.img as it never hands ofF to the kernel to load the OS at start up?? Oh well, I'll tinker with CM for a while....
