Viva Video also didn't work more than once. It causes the camera to completely stop working after using it a few times. Again a reboot required to bring it back. I know it is pointless to continue talking about something that is obviously broken at a lower level (maybe kernel?). I'm just reporting back in case it is useful to someone else.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] homerwasa:
Instead of rebooting just clear app data. Much easier.

Camera will be fussy on all 5.0 d2tmo ROMs and some variants for sometime.

The tap tap snap trick on stock camera is the best I could do. Updates are in the works.

Hang in there :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dimonana:
It works

Just want to thank you for your great work. ROM works and easy to install.

I've had couple funny days of installing I9300 recoveries and ROMs and made phone bricked.:D.

After that, I'm start reading what is on the screen - and realize, that instead of ordinary S3, seller give me t999l.

Thats how I'm here :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] canodroid15:
So in the future only flash ROMs recoveries, kernels etc.. For d2tmo!

Your device is the SGH-T999L codename d2tmo?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] memebot:
This is the best ROM ever!!!!

I've flased a lot of different ROMs over the last few years and this one by far is the best.

With an extended battery of 7000mAh I'm seeing days on one charge.

This ROM has also been really stable, hasn't even crashed once.

Thank you Dev team, you guys are on the right track!!!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] CooLoL1999:
I love this ROM. ? Everything works for me ? IK the camera don't really work but Snapchat works for me, so I use that as a temporary picture taker.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] canodroid15:
Yes it is
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] eduaponce:
Hello Team,

I have found a bug on stock SMS apk. Does it has to do with gapps or with the rom?

The issue is that menu Configurations/Clear Unicode doesn't work. I don't send too much messages but I wouldn't like to waste them because of unicode characters (Limmited to 70). I know there's always a possibility to change the SMS application but I like this one, should I better change it?

Thanks for your awsome job and support.

Has anyone else experience heavy lag whilst playing 60fps videos on YouTube?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] craterface12:
The newest weekly is up everyone!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] lucasjsr:
I also have this problem with YouTube videos with 60fps, however it just hangs the picture and the audio continues. Any solution? This is the best ROM for my S3;)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] canodroid15:
This is a known common issue on CM based ROMs. Unfortunately not much we can do about it. It started back on LP.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] RussellAlan:
Hey have a weird issue with the latest nightly.

Clean flashed and no audio or 4g. This was a friends phone so I haven't diagnosed it in person.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] canodroid15:
You might need to update the firmware. What baseband shows in settings/about phone?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] craterface12:
How is the new weekly everyone? Any issues?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] eduaponce:
Im facing some lag issues on instagram with the last update...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] RussellAlan:

R2 release build is up on site, you can get it here https://www.teamoctos.com/release
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] CarlosBattousai:
Holy crap R2!!!!!

Hows Bluetooth on this?

(I know that's all I ever cry about sorry ; ; )
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] canodroid15:
Still not perfect but better than its been previously.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] CarlosBattousai:
I completely disagree!!! I just flashed R2 /Gapps and everything is flawless. No skipping no lag no cutting up when I turn the display on or off. Perfect! The battery seems to be draining a little faster,but it's a new flash so I can't judge. My S3 is running a little better and it's not getting as hot.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] canodroid15:
Awesome! Thanks for the feedback brother ;) We worked on this release & testers tested for 2 weeks. Glad to hear it, enjoy it guys!!

Is there a way to get just the monthly security patches?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] canodroid15:
If you resurrect the old N7 we've got you covered there too ;)

Unfortunately no, only way to get the patches is to update the build.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] superlex:
I tried numerous time but it won't work on t-mobile samsung S3. I install with twrp 3.02.0 and have wipe everything clean before the installation. Once it reboot, it will keep on reboot. It caught in a reboot loop.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bthorne79:
Make sure your on the latest radios and bootloader available for flashing in recovery off top my head I can't remember but it does work on d2tmo
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] superlex:

Hello everyone,

I'm having some issues with Whatsapp Voice Notes and with some videos on Google Chrome since R2 release. They seem to reproduce very slow as they take around 6 seconds to show 00:01 duration. Is it something with the rom? I have re-installed Whatsapp and Chrome but it seems to not to work.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT:

It seems to be a codec issue. I can reproduce some Voice Notes in Whatsapp and some others not. If I go to Whatsapp folder I can play it with no issues at all. Same for Google Chrome browser when playing videos online.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] eduaponce:
Fixed with last update :D Thanks you so much! Awsome rom!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Reiyer:
Ignore this post I solved my problem
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Reiyer:
Hi, I'm on the latest weekly build. I'm loving the features of this rom so far and I want to test out the latest stable release. How would I do this? Should do a clean install? Or can I just flash the rom and gapps package over my current build? Thanks!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] canodroid15:
You can try to dirty flash just ROM & gapps, wiping only cache & dalvik. If issues arise please clean flash ;)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] eduaponce:
Since some time ago, my PC cannot recognize my phone and I've seen there are some issues with AOSP for this. I would like to access to USB settings in the *#7284# PhoneUtil to set PDA/MTP+ADB but I cannot acces to this menu in the ROM. Any suggestion?

Thanks in advance.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Sxojers:
It works in variant (t999l)?

battery performance has more than cyanogemod?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] canodroid15:
Yes it works on the T-999l. Battery performance is hard to determine. You'll just have to try it & see. I recommend trying the last weekly build 10/01 found here: https://www.teamoctos.com/weekly-builds/
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] CarlosBattousai:
Hmm I can't download any of the builds. When I click the + on the folder nothing pops up.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] canodroid15:
Should be fixed now

?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Liath:
Would this ROM be faster or otherwise better than the ROM I'm currently using from https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=d2tmo ?

I'm asking because first, at times with the current ROM my phone gets pretty hot, and I'm guessing hits a thermal shutdown, as it will freeze for a bit, then reboot itself (happens more often when GPS is on, which this phone has always had heat issues with, but I still have a hunch it is driver or software related). Second, I've found that the phone is getting more and more sluggish each time I update.

I've started looking at getting off of the nightly builds because well, they are nightly builds, and by definition are going to be less stable, but just have to ask if this would be a good step, or if I should perhaps start looking at getting back on a more stock-like, older ROM, and possibly even down-clocking my phone. BUT, I like the idea of being on recent Android builds as well, because of security issues. I actually managed to have my phone jacked by a virus ages ago when I was on a stock-a-like, and have been leery since.

As for the rebooting issue -- If I flash to this, and continue to have issues, is there a log or dump that is kept on a reboot like what I experience, that would be useful to anyone?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Liath:
Well, I took the plunge and flashed the ROM. So far I'm pleasantly surprised. ROM didn't magically cure all that ails this old device, but it is a decent bit faster than the nightlies. And, the GPS actually gets a lock within a reasonably acceptable time which is nice. After rolling around with it for ~30 hours I thought I'd escaped the reboot issue, but as I was driving to a site, had navigation going and phone reboot again. I'd carefully checked and made sure I set thermal throttle to what I'd think is a bit low for a phone -- 60C. Phone felt warm but not *hot* like it used to with old CM ROM, or others for that matter. So Now I'm perplexed about the cause.

I've looked around and everything I find is very old and I'm not sure if it still applies -- is there a way to get a usable log of the reboot cause, and if so, how should I retrieve it and send it to someone that would be able to see what the issue is?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] canodroid15:
So... Its been awhile. Our final Marshmallow release build is now available on our website!

OCT-M R3 final release https://www.teamoctos.com/release-builds/

Going forward we'll be working on Oct-N. I know a lot of you are still on M & curious about N & when your device will see it.With Oct-N we've moved back to an AOSP base. We're working on getting an AOSP-CAF branch so that we can bring our legacy devices up to N. This will take some time & some devices may not make the cut. We appreciate your patience as we work on bringing Oct-N to as many legacy devices as possible. Thank you all for your support, Stay tuned! ??

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] freeridindirtbiker:
I see that your post is a few months old, but figured I'd chime in anyways in case you havent found the cause of your problem. The reboot issue you are experiencing is not a ROM or software issue. It's actually related to a faulty power button and is a very common issue with the S3 over time. An easy method to confirm this is to pop off the plastic power cap/button. Use something thin to get under it and lift upwards to pop it off. It should be fairly easy. Once this is done, clear all of the dust/lint that you see making contact with the physical button that is soldered onto the board. Leave the cap off for a bit to see if the phone still restarts. It likely won't if you cleaned it well. Keep in mind that this is usually only a temporary fix. A more permanent fix is to buy a new button off of eBay for $3-4 if you are comfortable with soldering.

P.S. Google "Power Button Failure/Faulty S3" and you will see just how many S3's end up with this problem after a few years of use.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] craterface12:
Is there a thread for Oct-N for the d2tmo? I was wondering if anyone could help me disable the transparent lockscreen. It really slows down my phone.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] clearchris:
Settings -> Security -> Tap gear next to "screen lock" -> Blur Background is last item in list.

Check my post history to find the Oct-N thread.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] craterface12:
Thank you so much! Also, I just got a notification for an OTA update. Would I just download the zip and the rom itself can install the update?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] canodroid15:
No, the OTA updater just notifies you when a new build goes up. You can click on the build right from the updater & the DL will begin. You still have to flash the update manually in TWRP.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ramon88:
nice rom
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dbzx:
I just flashed my mom's phone with this ROM and its amazing. Everything seems to work so far though I did find one issue. The front facing camera recording does not seem to work with the Viber app. I've tested it with skype and it works. I was wondering if anyone have the same issue? just reporting the info for the devs

Unfortunately, I have to find another rom since my mom uses this app. Great work nonetheless.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] nirvanite:
Not trying to necro or anything, but I tried to download this using the website as the post directed and it said, "No Mirror." Anyone have this ROM and want to share or perhaps know of a way to notify them on Androidfilehost if the link is bad?

Also, if someone can confirm this link is not working for them as well that would be terrific. :)

Edit: Just to confirm, I have this ROM now and found it on basketbuild also as directed. Just wanted to clarify and try to ge tthat file updated since the one I wanted was the latest 4/20/2017 build. ;)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Constantine_97:
Hi I know this thread is not much active for past couple months but I cant resist to ask help in sorting out my problem, Recently I installed your octos M,Open gapps(Micro,mini) and upgraded baseband and booted my s3 d2tmo,everything was fine At first I faced some battery drain problem and little by little it sorted out bt later real problem came that when i installed some apps from playstore(To be specific they are whatsapp,samsung internet browser,shareit) the phone suddenly goes into bootloop and never pass after the "Android starting popup".:confused:

This bootloop occurs right after the app is installed.I even used both micro and mini package as I never helped out by the both,even I tried both R2 and R3 bt the same problem occurred.

I moved from pacman 5.1 which I almost used for more than 2 years and it suddenly went into bootloop when I updated whatsapp. To mention I was so happy with Pacman and even I enjoyed Octos bt for little hours.I cant come up with a fix for this but i definetely think that google play service is the culprit,Hope someone help me

!:)

Ps. Yes i did clean flash and I updated baseband :fingers-crossed:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Constantine_97:
Edit: I found a solution when i did some research and hope it helps someone with this similar problem.I flashed the zip mentioned in that link and cleared dalvik/cache.Till now I didnt face the above mentioned problem.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] horse54a:
Thanks

Thanks for this mod all your work, I dont get people who do not understand free, or hard work for free, dedication for free, the love of something so I am going to invent, develop something out of my love for what I am doing and give up my free time to make sure it works for free!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So if you guys do this then there is something that the user must do too, take responsibility for what you are about to attempt, because if something goes wrong remember no one put a gun to your head and said you must do this or die! If the developer says read something before you attempt to use the object of their love, you should probably read it over and over and then ask someone else to read it to make sure you understand it! I for one appreciate the work that they do, because I can not just jump and buy the next newest thing, so if they take the time create it I am going to use it in the manner that they claim it should be used and be happy using it, if they tell you how to help them to make it better, then lets do it in professional manner!

Place ROM & gapps on your external sd card

Backup everything on your internal sd card

Boot into recovery and wipe as follows

Wipe data/factory reset

Wipe system

Wipe cache

Wipe dalvic

Wipe internal sd

Flash ROM

Flash gapps

Reboot & wait (first boot takes awhile be patient)

Tried it and I still couldn't flash gapps.

I've decided to format the external sdcard from the phone and try it one more time.... then success :D

[MENTION=4590326]bthorne79[/MENTION] First, I'd like to thank for this post, then I'd like to ask you something.

I was on stock android 4.1.2 from SGH-T999, so I decided to install this rom. The installation was fine, but when the phone turned on, I noticed it didn't show me the name of my carreer, then I went to check my imei number using *#06# and found that I had lost my IMEI. I was scared because that happened once with my Gnexus and it was a big mistake because it couldn't be fixed. Hopefully, this wasn't the case with my Galaxy S3 because I just flashed back my stock rom and it fixed the IMEI problem.

Could you tell me how can I install this rom without losing my IMEI?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bthorne79:
Update your firmware to latest that is ONE HUGE issue with everyone reporting no sim no data with the t999 is that everyone has not updated anything since the 4.1.1. 4.1.2 basebands bootloaders hit up the stock threads and get some flashable firmware upgrades or Odin the stock tars and reroot
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] musnyk:
This rom is absolutely great! Would be perfect if there weren't camera/video issues.
