To be safe for sure - follow the version order.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ronpelayo:
Thanks I'll flash it now

So Firmware first and then TWRP for SGH-i747 even if my version is i747M
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] #000000:
As suppose you have d2can ya?

So you might need https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxys3canada.html
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ronpelayo:
yeah it's d2can and I've successfully flashed d2att version of TWRP. In any case, do you know the issue for flashing the wrong version of TWRP?

All right, kicking in with my report of the 123 build. I've installed it since the 24th 'til now. By the way, [MENTION=5806583]canodroid15[/MENTION], if my posts are annoying as ****, just tell me and ill stop right away. I don't want to look like a spoiled brat...

So, there it goes.

Bluetooth:

2 issues here;

-Music playing on BT headphone or whatever the device is horrible! You have like 2-3 sec of music playing any stuttering and then, it stutter for good 5 sec.

-Impossible to use my BT headset for calling even though it shows and tells me it's connected. Did a double check on the BT setting page and it says "connected (no phone)". After several retries to reconnected/disconnected the BT connection, the phone went in reboot by own.

Display lightning:

need to be stronger on daytime. I got to put my phone face back to the sky to see something (hopefully, Im not the only one facing 'cause Ill be looking like a stupid ****..)

Quick settings mods;

2 issues here:

-Show weather option doesn't work

-Adding tiles is working...for a short while. As soon as i started scrolling through the option, the system UI crash msg popped up in no time.

Data connection: same issue in the 116 build, same work around too. It's less frequent though.

Theming: already been mentioned in a previous post.

Hopefully, this has been helpful and if you need any catlog of thise issues, Id be glad to bring them along.

And again, thanks for the M builds, really happy to see those running in my old S3 ??
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] canodroid15:
You're not annoying, I like to see posts like these. Its the posts that are self entitled like " this don't work fix it now " that anger the MIGHTY KRAKEN! lol. I have this device so most of the bugs you guys report are known about, but sometimes I miss things. I always read the posts from you guys, I may not reply to all of them but I do take them seriously. Thanks for the report. Marshmallow is still in infancy so most of the bugs are also in straight CM builds as well. We still work hard to fix them. We would like to release only stable builds as we did with LP, but at the same time folks thought we didn't release fast enough so weeklies were born. Much more to come guys, enjoy!

Are I747MVLUFOB1 I747MVLUFOB3 available as a flashable zip? I am on I747MVLDMF1 still ... I might just try flashing staying on this bootloader being it is a 4.4.2 bootloader and that is all you need for LP and M Roms, as far as I read anyways

Any ideas ?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Mydnytefantasy89:
I know this is for Oct-M, but I couldn't find the Oct-L thread (idk if its the XDA app or what), but I figure since some of the same devs are here, I should be able to find an answer to this...theoretically lol anyway, I'm having issues playing music over Bluetooth. I keep getting a "Bluetooth share has crashed" message, and Bluetooth stays on according to my status bar, but refuses to turn on in the settings. Is this a ROM issue, or a kernel issue? I'm using dkp kernel and, obviously, the latest Oct-L. Should I collect logs for reference?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] #000000:
Yeah, if your current modem and bootloader are compatible with 4.4.x so it's what you need. Updates of bootloader and modem usually fix some issues. Not more, or add compatibility.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Mydnytefantasy89:
Its been a while since I've had to flash these since I'm as updated as can be, but I remember getting ODIN flashable files. They were "modem" files, I believe .IMG format, and can be flashed without flashing the whole ROM, if that's what you're trying to avoid. Take this with a grain of salt though, like I said, its been a while.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] unibombz:
OK -- So I have been doing some research to understand where I am to where I need to be.

To RE-EXPLAIN ( you can see details in my signature)

I am currently on SlimKat 4.4.4 (CM11) right now ... no issues

I Have also flashed to TWRP twrp-2.8.4.0-d2can

CURRENT MODEM = I747MUMUEND3-April-3-2014 (latest)

CURRENT BOOTLOADER = I747MVLDMF1

So that's that.... What I have noticed on SamMobile Website is all the firmware/bootloader updates... these are listed as follows:

I747MVLDMF1

Version	Android 4.1.2

Build date	Mon, 03 Jun 2013

--------------------------------

I747MVLUEMK5

Version	Android 4.3

Build date	Tue, 19 Nov 2013

I747MVLUFNE6

Version	Android 4.4.2

Build date	Wed, 28 May 2014

I747MVLUFNF2

Version	Android 4.4.2

Build date	Wed, 25 Jun 2014

I747MVLUFOB1

Version	Android 4.4.2

Build date	Wed, 04 Feb 2015

--------------------------------

I747MVLUFOB3

Version	Android 4.4.2

Build date	Thu, 24 Sep 2015

Sorry for the long post.....

So I am 5 revisions/versions BEHIND the current BOOTLOADER that is released. However I am on a 4.4.4 Rom WITH CURRENT MODEM, and no issues.

Question, do I have to update incrementally i.e FLASH 5 different STOCK FIRMWARES to my phone to get up to 0B3 ?

Or can I flash ONCE from

MF1 (4.1.2) JUNE 2013 --- to --- 0B3 (4.4.2) SEPT 2015

OR

Do I even have to mess with flashing a stock firmware/bootloader, then re-rooting, then re-installing recovery... finally to install OctOS-L or -M

Since I am on a 4.4.4 ROM (CMW11) with the CURRENT MODEM, and all is well... I am just trying to make sure I have everything correct in my head, so I give the phone no harm

Thanks guys, didn't realize my firmware was so out of date, but I never had an issue flashing 4.4.4 ROMs

Have never flashed a 5.0+ ROM yet, and I was just going to flash OctOS-L to start

Hope this isn't too much to ask to verify, this bootloader business is sketchy (so to speak) because I read somewhere not to just flash some super old firmwares to current builds.

sigh...

[MENTION=4335664]unibombz[/MENTION] & anyone else who is curious or wants to update bootloader & modem please check out this post & maybe even read thru the last few pages in this thread. There are even a few posts by Mr in this thread. If you are on an i747M its not as dangerous to update. I747U is dangerous if you don't do it exactly correct. Anything that [MENTION=5575315]dawgdoc[/MENTION] says in any bootloader & modem thread or Q&A you can take to the bank! I've known him from the d2att threads for a long time & he really knows his stuff. Not that I don't or don't want to help you guys its just that its been explained in great detail by dawgdoc, myself & others so I'll point you to that direction instead of going thru it all again lol. Check it out here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=64985275

---------- Post added at 12:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:06 AM ----------

Also, if you guys (i747M) are on a 4.4.2 bootloader & modem you're good. No need to update to the latest one. There's no flashable zips made yet anyway so you'd have to Odin the full tar. I747U as long ad you guys are on NJ1 or NJ2 you're good to go on M. LP can even run o NE4.

For ones like [MENTION=4335664]unibombz[/MENTION] on older bootloader & modem, look at that thread I linked above. Especially the last few pages in it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] unibombz:
Yes I was reading that, didn't clear anything up really, that's why I was posting to clearify... I guess I could just keep my current setup, and try flashing Oct-L and see if it works ?? I wanted to be sure, still not sure if I have to update in increments (stock firmwares) or if I can go from 2013 right to 2015, etc etc (last post)

Im GUESSING I may be OK, but I don't feel like fighting with a brick either....

I am on TWRP twrp-2.8.4.0-d2can (v4 base) and I see there is twrp-2.8.7.0-d2can.img (5.1.1 base) and being I am on a 4.4.4 Rom currently, I wasn't sure if that would mess with anything (SDK wise) or any recovery works on any version, doesn't matter what the phone is running, will work ?

EDIT: I am just going to go ahead installing Oct-L + Opengapps on my current bootloader and modem, see what happens... then revert back to my nandroid... see if I get any random reboots / FCs etc.... Let you know how it goes. Thanks

Android Auto needs 5.0+ so I need to find a solution for that, and this OctOS from what I have been reading, is a great ROM, I'd like to try 6.0, however I need something stable for the time being, once 6 gets stable (as I know it is a new released OS) I'll move to that

I hope to god the Galaxy S7 (yet to release) has a removable battery and MicroSD card ... I LOVE this S3, it's been through a lot and a great device. Wouldn't mind new hardware for RAM AND CPU, other then that, the S3 is rock solid for so many years!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] canodroid15:
[MENTION=4335664]unibombz[/MENTION], are you i747M or I747U?

Edit, OK I see you're M had t go back & read again. There's so many people asking questions I get confused. Easiest way for you to update is to Odin the package you want or take the ota's until you get to where you want to be.

If you can find a flashable zip of NF2 or OB1 you'll be fine on that to flash LP or MM. Its not necessary to be on the latest one. I always wait to get feedback from other users b4 jumping to the latest bootloader & modem.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] unibombz:
Well I just installed OctOS-L on my current phone:

I747M (Canadian)

RECOVERY: twrp-2.4.4.0-d2can.img

BOOTLOADER = I747MVLDMF1 -- Version: Android 4.1.2 -- Build date: Mon, 03 Jun 2013

MODEM: I747MUMUEND3

Installed :

OCT-L-M6-FINAL-5.1.1-20151229-d2att

open_gapps-arm-5.1-aroma-20160123

So far no issues to report, did some quick SMS and MMS testing, as well as Mobile Data and Wifi, Camera, etc

OctOS is f**king fast man, feels like a whole new device! Happy to be on 5.0 testing.

I have to revert to my nandroid, because I don't have enough time tonight to setup a fresh phone, but wow. OctOS.... Wow

Thanks everyone, and sorry to waste all that time with previous posts to clearify. It turns out on the I747M (Canadian Variant Anyways) the 4.1.2 bootloader is fine for LP ROMS ... I saved so much time not flashing back to stock, and re-rooting / recovery etc.

Thanks again... A LOT... awesome work, can't wait to continue using the ROM once I get all my launchers and apps installed!!!

P.S. THANKS A TON FOR OctOS Ink DARK.apk !! Hate LP White :-p

[MENTION=4335664]unibombz[/MENTION] No prob man, it's all good. Welcome to the wonderful world of the Mighty KRAKEN! LOL, when you do get it set up hope you enjoy it bro.

Also, M6 is pretty darn solid. Its our final LP build & has no major issues. If stability is what you want I recommend hanging out on LP until Oct-M & (Marshmallow in general) Gets a bit more stable. ;)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] unibombz:
Oh man, thanks a ton ! Yeah being I have been on SlimKat for close to 2 years, and have been happy, I tend to go with the stable builds, rather then messing around with nightlies (and things) I am looking forward to Oct-M! I love that teams are dev'ing for this S3 (and others)

Still a solid phone! and to know 6.0+ is already available for it, I am looking forward to it, now I can really bide my time for a newer device, I am in no rush for new hardware seeing the speed of OctOS !!!!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] canodroid15:
Thanks for the kind words & your support for our ROM! I'll be honest with ya, as good as d2 handles LP & MM I wouldn't be surprised if the beast that is S3 makes it to see android Skittles lol. Hell maybe even android Zagnut ? this phone is a beast bro! #octos4life ?

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BZJoe:
Hello guys, installed the latest nightly and have to say it feels quite good. I'd say it's almost there. I do have the same issues as other 6.0 ROMS for S3 which are the camera crashing/freezing when switching to front camera, and Bluetooth calls having no volume adjust, and phone resetting when trying to hang up a Bluetooth call. I am facing the same issue on other CM 13 based ROMS so to me it seems to be a CM13 issue. Hopefully this will be resolved soon. Thanks for the work guys!

You can adjust it in settings under display&lights and LCD density. I used Oct L at 280 DPI with no issues.

Thank you!

Hi, I registered just to post this. Thank you so much OctOS devs! I was running Slimkat on my phone for a very long time (which was awesome), but it was starting to get a bit long in the tooth and becoming less stable. Rather than re-install a SlimKat again (no stable releases yet for LP or M from Slimroms), I decided to try OctOS-L... and it's sooooo goood...! Your rom has breathed new life into aging (but clearly still capable) hardware. It's very snappy, looks great, and so far has been rock-solid stable. I haven't found a single bug or sticking point... anywhere. Flawless and gorgeous, thanks again!

Edit: My battery life seems to have improved as well. Is there no end to the orgy of awesome!?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] unibombz:
You're just like me brother, I was using SlimKat too for a good long time, nothing bad to say about the ROM, but when looking for 5.0+ I decided to use this as well, and I have to agree with everything you said... FAST / STABLE etc etc. It's like having a brand new device! Great to hear you're enjoying it man! Once -M gets a final build, I will be moving to that as well! Great to hear!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nuclearguru:
Likewise! I was happy sticking with Slimkat despite it being out of date, mostly because it had been so stable for me in the past, but when it started crapping out, I decided to jump ship and see what was out there. Glad to have found OctOS first; didn't even have to try anything else! Attention all OctOS devs: Careful, I will maul you on sight! (in a good way).

[MENTION=4335664]unibombz[/MENTION]

If somehow, the original method to adjust the DPI doesn't work, here's a workaround for ya (and for anyone who reads this btw).

I used to do it a lot on the SlimLP rom, Perseus told me how to do it.

Go download this app:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.grarak.kerneladiutor

Then, give it a root access as well.

Open the left side menu and search, in the TOOLS section, build.prop.

When you get there, scroll through the list of settings and search for "ro.sf.lcd_density".

Tap on it to edit the line and put the value you would like to have!

N.B.: Original size value is at 320.

Hope this helps! ☺

Loving the OctOS L rom on my d2lteatt. Smooth and fast.

In CM12 there is a feature to create folders on homescreen then protecting them with a swipe pattern. Would you consider implementing this? The advantage of this is that any apps placed in that protected folder are hidden from the app drawer. Personally, I use this as an added layer of protection for apps requiring payment. Just a thought.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] yiazmaty:
Before I dive into Oct-M, is there currently a feature that allows you to update through the OS ROM like with CM? I.e. can you go into settings and search for updates in there?

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] yiazmaty:
So far I've only really tried Oct-M and matrixzone's unofficial CM13. While matrixzone's ROM seems promising, Oct-M so far seems more stable and has more features, such as cloud App backups.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] unibombz:

Also, does anyone know how to get the weather on the notification/settings drawer? I used to have it but maybe that was back in lollipop.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] unibombz:
Quick question. Did CM ever incorporate "eye sensing" "smart stay" (TouchWiz Feature) into their ROMs ?

EDIT: NM answered my own question -- Seems there are apps that provide the same feature (CM can't add it due to legality)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pixbuf:
Light sensor seems to be a perennial problem with CM13. Just have to wait until there are upstream fixes, I guess. Also, weather in the clock widget stopped working about a week or so ago. It will be back some day, I hope.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] huladaddy:
CM 12 had built in support for exFAT formatted external SD cards. So far, it seems CM13 does/will not.

Does Oct-M have any plans for supporting exFAT external SD cards, and not have us forced to format it to FAT32?

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jswclw:
