App2sd issue

I just flashed the Oct L lollipop rom to my s3 and everything is great, except now I cant move my apps to SD, or link them for that matter. Has anyone else ran into this issue?? And does anyone know of a fix? I believe the Rom is based on cm12. Thank you in advance!

Sounds Problems / Lag

Hey. I installed your ROM and ever since then when I play a game on the phone and it has multiple sound effects and music tracks it will start freezing and lagging or stuttering. I'm not quite sure how to fix this. Any suggestions? It's super frustrating. Also, when people are talking updating the kernel, isn't that already included in this ROM? Even still, I just updated it to try and make sure that wasn't the problem. Any help would be great. Thanks.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bthorne79:
You don't need to update kernel you can try an alternative kernel or clear games data and cache to see if that is issue most people restore data from apps which in most cases is the issue even if you are coming from a different android version api issues

game issues

I did a fresh install when I flashed the ROM and didn't restore any game data. I re-installed everything from scratch. I've tried clearing the game data multiple times on a few different games. Sometimes it helps, sometimes it doesn't but the problem always ends up coming back eventually. What kernels would you recommend that I try?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] canodroid15:
Well if you're going to experiment with kernels I'd recommend dkp or BMS for performance dkp is more up to date than bms

Very Nice Work

OP good work on the rom.

I had problems with no data. I flashed the latest modem available in the sticky and it worked.

I had problems with camera not working. I downloaded CameraMX from the play store. IT IS WORKING! but some strange stuff happened with the sd card where it says its full.

Will look into it tonight
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bthorne79:
5.1 builds are starting to work out great we should be posting builds here real soon

Yay!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bthorne79:
Woot finishing up testing
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] nafeasonto:
Is this the one? The one that will have no camera issues?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bthorne79:
Haven't seen a fail yet
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] nafeasonto:
I will cry tears of joy. Awesome job.

Stock camera 10th pic in a row
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ShernDog:
Works perfectly, best running ROM for d2 by far!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bthorne79:
OP updated to 5.1.1
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] flip3601:
Only way camera freezes is while recording w/ flash n taking still pics. Works fine w/o flash.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] nafeasonto:
Where are the Iock screen setting for pin etc.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bthorne79:
Tentacles/lock screen
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] nafeasonto:
The camera works but it's doing the same thing it did in KitKat. You take a picture with the flash, the screen blanks out and is unresponsive until you do a battery pull.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] chalky7880:
Amazing ROM! I'm running the newest build on multiboot. So far I've had zero issues. Camera and video both working flawlessly. So far battery seems to be good as well.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bthorne79:
No camera issue at with me only had one lock up with video screen went black after switching
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] hellseek:
Hey everyone, I just flashed the latest build and it says "Android is starting... Optimizing app 1 of 114. It goes all the way through then reboots and does the same thing again.

Any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong?

I have the T999.

Thanks in advance for any help.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bthorne79:
Make sure your on latest firmware and basebands for your device don't dirty flash use the latest twrp.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bthorne79:
If your getting battery drain from play service follow these steps

Thanks for the help, I saw the file i downloaded from your website is for d2ltetmo...is there a file for d2tmo?

My Baseband: UVUENC2
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bthorne79:
Yes that is the file
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] hellseek:
Ok great. maybe I'm missing some steps in the install...I had been using slimkat before and i can flash back to that with no optimizing apps. I would really like to move forward from slim. I am using TWRP latest as well. What firmware do i need? thanks for your quick reply
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bthorne79:
Go to twrp do a factory reset wipe flash the rom and correct gapps and you should be fine double check md5 and that you have the correct file
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] hellseek:
*Edit: Got it fixed. you gave me the solution a couple post back. I appreciate the help and effort.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] nafeasonto:
I can't do a voice search with Google now, or regular google search. It always says "can't contact google" , and yes my phone is definitely connected to the internet.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] canodroid15:
Its something to do with Google, not the ROM. Its happened & is still happening to a lot of people. I'm not really sure what the solution is, maybe try the previous version of Google search...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] hellseek:
I got it to boot in but it said no sim. Everything seemed to work but i rebooted to see if the error would come back.

The reboot seems to be forever. Is there any way to have a faster reboot?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] nafeasonto:
The new file system with Lollipop for some reason is super slow, especially with installing things, and optimizing apps. At least from what I have experienced.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] hellseek:
OK, its been rebooting for more than 30 minutes. Should I still wait?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] nafeasonto:
No something is wrong, it's not THAT slow. What caused the reboot?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] hellseek:
I reboot myself cause it had said 'no sim detected'
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] nafeasonto:
I had a no SIM issue as well, but it went away after like 5 minutes.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] hellseek:
oh ok, How long does it normally take to boot?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bthorne79:
Update your baseband and firmware if you get No sim
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] hellseek:
I update my firmware because i was getting problems as you suggested. The system booted up after a while. Then I rebooted the device and its been booting for more than 30 minutes.

I used root666 firmware.

Do you have a suggestion as to what firmware to use?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bthorne79:
Data connection could be 1-5 min depending on location I've always suggested to install rom and walk away for 10min while radios connected
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LarsonJayz:
Is the network traffic monitor in the status bar not present or will it be added in future updates? Great ROM by the way. No problems encountered until now.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mc00:
hello, thank you for octos and good job on it.

phone

t999l, modem & loader NF4 and dkp 5.1 kernel latest released

but I ran into two issue so far. I always use two batteries when I swap them, I get samsung logo and blank screen, I have to boot into recovery TW(2.8.6) and reboot within the menu back to system boots normal, what can this be? and other minor issue under "tentacles" and setting called "buttons under "home buttons" I always disable this but in the octos 5.1 doesn't work I have to manually go into system/usr/keylayout and sec_keys and disable it.

again, thank you for awesome rom.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bthorne79:
Well with boot could be the alternative kernel I have the t999l with NF4 also and I do the two battery when I'm not near a charger and no issue with boot. disable home button had not been pushed in tjr build the 5.1.1. I don't think there is a setting for it
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] hellseek:
How can I disable the Proximity sensor? My wife's screen is cracked over the sensor, when i try to make a call the screen goes blank and i can't turn it on for the duration of the call. Same goes for receiving a call except i can't answer at all.

Searched but could not find a solution that would work.

Thanks for any help provided.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bthorne79:
Are you able to use home button or power button to turn screen on that's what I do
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] :
I'm happy to say that I'm actually grateful that not only OP is continuing development on the S3 that Samsung no longer supports, but after follwing this thread for quite awhile sure looks very promising. I haven't seen many would continue this debelopment but rather move on to a more powerful phone even when the S3 still has much potential. Someday when I get a chance, I'm going to knock the dust off my S3 and then give this ROM a try. Kudos to OP.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] hellseek:
No, anything i press does not do anything. I check the sensor and it reads as "near" because of the crack.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] azethoth:
I just want to confirm that this will boot fine on a T999 non LTE S3. I remember reading a while back that flashing an LTE rom on a non LTE S3 could result in a brick.

Thanks
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bthorne79:
Flash away that info is outdated I have the t999l and we also have 2 t999 testers
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] azethoth:
Thanks bunch I'll give it a shot.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] musnyk:
Great ROM! It's good to see the s3 still being used and developed on. No major issues on my T999, camera and video work well although the flash is on for an extended period of time when taking a flick at night. Other than that the rom works very well, fast, and smooth.

Thanks to the developer
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ganiman:
Does this ROM suffer from the same bluetooth issues as the current CM 12.1 nightlies?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bthorne79:
None of our testers said they had Bluetooth issues I've been able to transfer files between devices and connected to my work vehicle with no issue
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ganiman:
How about connecting the phone to a car for bluetooth hands free? It is confirmed in the CM 12.1 nightlies. This ROM says it is based off of CM 12.1, so unless you have done specific work to rectify this issue, I would assume it exists in this ROM as well. If you can even manage to get it connected, which you can, you still have issues dialing out and answering with hands free devices. If I can find some time, I will flash this ROM and test it out.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] hellseek:
I have been using this rom a couple or weeks now, have had no problems with any Bluetooth access in the car for both music and phone.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] :
Alright, so after updating my recovery and everything else I am currently trying this out now. So far what I noticed, everything in it is just perfect even the stock camera in which I'm quite shocked how powerful the app is in responding. And I noticed the RAM isn't at all whatsoever near taking up 1/4 of its capacity considering I did remove some apps my own. The only thing left I have yet to try with is connecting to my bluetooth speaker. So happy with this OS.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] azethoth:
Is the volume rocker seek to track functionality working? I found it under buttons in tentacles and it is enabled, but it does not seek tracks when the screen is off it only increases the volume when I long press it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tdotdot:
Try turning off ambient display if you're using it. Should work then.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] azethoth:
That did it thanks.

Really no replies the d2tmo is in the top three of downloads get the word out there and enjoy the rom
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] plamic:
Hey bthorne, been using the latest nightly. There's an issue or seemingly random reboots which has occurred with this as well as CM 12.1, wondering if you have any info on it or have faced the same problem. It will happen when the phone is locked in my pocket, or even (rarely) when in use. When this happens the screen will lock up and then proceed to reboot. Any idea what may be causing this? Other than this rather minor annoyance, I've found your ROM to be near-perfect. Thank you for your work!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bthorne79:
Since the release I did have only 2 reboots and that was first day after that it never happed again. I was doing some heavy usage and just counted it as a kernel panic(hot reboot)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] plamic:
I had sorta assumed the same, could be Fennec on my end. I'm sure it'll subside. Thanks again
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] anil2653:
Presently using LS 5.1 and downloading this rom now
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MorbidMonk:
All in all a very good ROM. Running smooth. My only complaint is it won't go above 3g or hspa... I'm on T-Mobile. Tried the settings. Also this is the non LTE version.. But I do get 4g on stock. Please help.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bthorne79:
If your a t999 you won't get LTE just won't happen your phone doesn't have the LTE radio. The hspa+ is your 4g on stock.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MorbidMonk:
Correct. But using speedtest hspa is way slower capped at 10mbs. When stock showed 4g it would cap at 17... Tested this morning on my g2... Hspa slower than 4g with late disabled.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bthorne79:
The rom does not affect your data speeds it can't throttle your data. If your doing speed test please check on same phone same area do multiple checks to see if you get constant speeds also check your apns to make sure your on the correct one for your data plan. Me I use the fast.tmobile. bla bla bla because I'm on the unlimited no throttle plan lots of plans they CAP the max download speeds in the screen shots I'm showing that data speeds are not issue on rom side also showing that I'm on the M2 build
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MorbidMonk:
On unlimited.. Also tried same area...all you said.. Those are what I get when on stock.. This one I've tried everything.. Also notice your screenie shows LTE in status.. Mine is always 3g or full bar hspa. Yes I'm on fast.. Tried ip6 but ildidnt change either
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Grommish:
There are areas where TMobile hasn't migrated to IPv6 yet. In these areas, IPv4 is still in place. MMS also uses IPv4 and not IPv6 it looks like.

While the APNs currently cover the majority of TMO users, some areas are still behind. Next update, assuming the widespread test is OK, will have new APNs for TMo that split IPv4 vs IPv6 and that seems to correct the issue.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bthorne79:
If you don't have the LTE version phone you don't want to be on the LTE APN you will want to be on the 3g that will be your settings the H+ on aosp based roms is the "4G" that touchwiz will say is "4g"

Sweet Rom

I switched from another 5.1.1 rom to this one and i have to say this one runs better on my phone. Both great ROMS but this one is just a little smoother and I get better battery life.

Mad Props to the devs! Thanks for keeping our old device up to date with modern ROMS! You guys rock!

Question

Having some issues with WiFi connecting. Especially at home, when I come home the wifi will have an exclamation point on it and it doesn't connect unless I manually tell it to connect. Happens with some other hot spots that I visit regularly. This also happened on the last 5.1.1 rom (LS) I was on but never happened with 4.4.x

Any recommendations or suggestions?

The other interesting thing I have noticed with 5.1.1 roms is that in order for ringtones to show up in the UI when manually coping the file into the appropriate directory the permissions and group have to match the other files. Otherwise the sound does not appear in the UI. Took me a while to figure that one out.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bthorne79:
On some s3 the screws on the back plate need tightened and it fixed WiFi issues me and the testers run this rom non stop and never have that issue with the ! On wifi. As for ringtones there should be a folder in the internal storage named Ringtones If placed in that folder it will pick them up I have a few my self that I use and they show right up with out permission changes needed if you place in the system/media/ yes it will need to be changed
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bthorne79:
OK octopi m3 gearing up for release. Our testers are checking it out.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bthorne79:
M3 builds are up on the web site
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Alex9090:
After running it 3 days I can safely say it's running very smooth. My s3 feels better than my s4.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Grommish:
Doesn't that mean you should be running OctOs on the S4? :D Or are you BL-locked
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Alex9090:
I did actually but aosp roms on s4 are plagued with Bluetooth issues.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MorbidMonk:
Im running M2.. I downloaded M3. How do I flash to M3 without losing all my apps and data and stuff. Or do I have to start from scratch like a factory restore does?

I went and just flashed the rom only... No wipe dalvk/cache or anything. It works but now I get Google service FC's..
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] memebot:
You will need to install the Google apps again.

http://xdaforums.com/android/software/tk-gapps-t3116347

Pick one.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] canodroid15:
In the future, make a nandroid backup, then just wipe system, dalvik & cache only. Flash the ROM, gapps & any other mods or zips that reside in system partition. After install is finished you can wipe caches again (not needed) & reboot. You'll be updated & still have all your apps & data. If you have issues flash clean.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MorbidMonk:
Got it. Thanks....new question though. I want to change the boot animation. Is there someway I can make my own. ROM Toolbox Pro...when u use that to get boots it bricks phone. I know Octos wants TWRP but is based off of CM. Or are boot animations universal? The animation from Material Glass has a bunch of particles like stars floating. I want the whole screen to have 1 pixel stars floating all over.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MrTallboy:
I think you can modify boot animation.zip in the system/media folder?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bthorne79:
Yes you can modify boot ani zips but you will have to do every single frame of it to get what you want than you drop it in the system media folder once it is saved in that folder your golden
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] akaleshnikov:
Has anyone tried this on the T999V variant? I'm looking for a stable 5.0+
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] canodroid15:
I'm pretty sure it'll work just fine. I believe one of the testers has T999V. If you're looking for a stable LP ROM you've found it bud. M3 is rock solid.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] akaleshnikov:
Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, the call quality on this ROM (and on PacMan) is terrible on the T999V that I have. I guess it might be a 5.1.x problem. I can't afford that trade off though as I do need to make calls with my phone, so it looks like 4.4 TouchWiz I go (shoot me)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bthorne79:
You can install and run this rom with out a glitch is your baseband updated to the latest for your device
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] akaleshnikov:
I actually got my call quality to work, first I had to flash FNF1 firmware image, and then I installed OctOS. Everything works great, I'm glad this ROM exists!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mc00:
So i have been using this rom for months now and im happy with it, so recently i have been noticing when i record video with snapchat if there music playing gets distorted i have turn down music really low, so i was wondering is this kernel issue or mic volume is too high? I didnt have this issue when i was using stock rom. I have been askig around but nothjng yet. I know about hangout issue cause i use hangout too and people cant hear me
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bthorne79:
Not sure about snapchat that app has always had issues with custom ROMs since kitkat that I remember with camera sound or just not working with a lot of people as for hangouts I use it all day with no issue I use it for normal conversion and also to call and video chat with my kid it works flawless
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mc00:
Yea i use hangout makes call over wifi and the people i talk to

Say i sound very distance.

Has anyone tested M4? Are there any regressions? Does the camera work better?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] canodroid15:
I recommend flashing the weekly build. Most of the issues reported on M4 have been resolved. I'm currently running the weekly build on both of my d2's (d2att & d2vzw) & they're running flawlessly.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] iVeras:
Do i have to do a clean flash for the weekly build or can i just flash it on top of M4?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] canodroid15:
Clean flash this one for sure, a lot has changed since M4. I always clean flash & recommend it, however after flashing this weekly, you could likely dirty flash updates but eventually you'll have to wipe & clean flash. Always backup to be safe!
