Awesome ROM...

Now that nightly's are back (with a few bluetooth notes in the changelog) is it better to update or stick with the stability of this ROM ? I think I saw a few pages back that it's doable--just not sure what the current ROM benefits are over the latest nightly.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cLogic:
the changelogs are at http://www.cmxlog.com/12.1/d2tmo

as mentioned by cm themselves, the nightlies are stable

there may be eventual milestone releases (Mx) but those are usually far and few between and are always days, if not weeks, behind the nightly development

altho cmupdater advises Me daily that there is an update, I personally nandroid and then allow cmupdater to update only once every 2-4 days, based on the goodies in the changelog

happy flashing :cool: and remember ... backup, backup, backup :good:

.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] StealthBravo:
Since nightlies have arrived, I have decided the future of this ROM:

I will not be doing pre-release patches unless there are very notable changes, since there really never is anything of much note sitting around.

This topic will remain open, since it seems like a good general d2tmo discussion.

I will release builds once in a while if there are situations where it may be warranted (for example, new nightly, people download, it's broken, and unusable until the next update rolls out). Otherwise, as many of you have realized, the official nightlies are relatively stable, so use those.

BT updates on 5/13:

And there was a fix for something related to Bluetooth in last night's build, maybe it will fix hands free devices in cars:

Is the camera working yet? 720/1080 and stills?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] amealwithlargefries:
I second this...I've tried all of the nighties up to 5-14, Bluetooth and third party camera apps (camera 360 to be specific) has been quite problematic.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] pcaseiro:
I'm on the latest build and I have no problems. Everything is working as it is supposed to
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] menace211:
I've tried Retrica (camera app) on every nightly so far and it freezes and reboots. Just letting you know
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] pcaseiro:
Try camera mx

I really need some help...it looks like I'm getting calls and texts just fine but I'm getting "no service" which results in me not being able to use the internet at all. Anyone have any idea what to do?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Sixonefour:
Check your APN first. It's under System Settings -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names

I'm not sure if that is your issue but it's worth a look. Tmo or ATT?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] moraha1287:
After my post on here, I did find out that my APN settings is the issue. The problem is I can't enter them in. I get a message stating, "Access Point Name settings are not available for this user." I am on the Owner profile and I'm on Tmo.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Sixonefour:
Try turning on airplane mode, removing the sim, reinsert the sim, turn off airplane mode. Also wipe the cache in recovery, reboot. Shot in the dark but it may work. Let us know. I didn't see many with this issue.

Are you on the most recent bootloader and modem?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Jay Rock:
Bluetooth problems are turning my watch into a paperweight lol. I'm on the May 16 nightly. Any problems on the more recent ones?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Garrett 77:
I had the same issue with my Moto 360- ended up rolling back to CM 11. I absolutely love lollipop BUT I need my watch and car to work :(
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Jay Rock:
I think the 17 nightly might fix it. Changelog says "revert recent Bluetooth changes".
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] truxartis:
The 5-15 nightly worked for me, streaming to soundbar was stable, as well as plantronics headset.

Android Wear

Has anyone had luck with this or any other 5.1.1 Rom working with Android Wear and the s3?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] pcaseiro:
Can't wait to flash the upcoming update. There's a lot of work done on this one
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Jay Rock:
I've only used the official nightlies, and so far you'll be able to connect to your watch fine for maybe a couple hours, after which Bluetooth will stop working and you'll have to reboot the phone to get it to work and connect with the watch again. In its current condition, I wouldn't recommend CM right now until this is fixed. My watch has been sitting on my desk since the weekend I flashed CM12.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] guest_2011:
T999L

I cleaned cleared wiped reset everything in recovery. Previously cm11, now 5-18 nightly. Sometimes when screen is off and i press home button to unlock screen my home screen icons and folders disappear. This happens randomly. I have to reboot/soft reboot or keep pressing and holding buttons until icons/folders appear again. Sometimes when i open a folder its blank black and i can't return back to home screen by pressing back button. Press menu button - icons/folders appear in home screen but the shortcut bar disappears. Extremely aggravating and annoying. What am i doing wrong?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cLogic:
is that using the stock cm launcher (trebuchet) ?

try a third party launcher like Nova
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] guest_2011:
Yes stock cm12 trebuchet. CM11 was perfect. I always use stock. Nova fixed everything. But what causes glitching in stock launcher. Am i the only one with this glitch?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cLogic:
I stopped using stock launchers (touchwiz, cm trebuchet, omni launcher3, etc) a long time ago and switched to Nova because:

stock launchers are big and complicated and are the base cause to most ui glitches and therefore affect decision as to whether you like a rom

re-configuring desktop, icons, backgrounds, widgets is a pain after install of each new rom

nova has backup/restore ability so can have same desktop 2seconds after new rom install

they will be working bugs out of the stock launcher (both general and device specific) for the entire life of the rom

the question to ask yourself is ... is there something in the stock launcher that I lose by switching to Nova, or another 3rd party launcher ?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] guest_2011:
I understand now. Thought stock is always simple and better as opposed to third party, like custom themes. That's why i never customize/add anything extra, only keep stock. Nova is perfect. I wasn't sure if trebuchet, touchwiz still run in background or completely disabled by Nova. Now i'm replacing all my devices stock launchers with Nova.

Will i lose Nova settings with the next nightly? Can i restore S3 cm12 5.1 Nova backup in other devices running cm12 5.1 and stock 5.02 or are settings device specific?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cLogic:
if you installed Nova normally via the play store, then it is installed as a user app, not system app .. your user apps should be untouched by rom update .. unless you factory reset (wipe data) for some reason

in Nova settings> backup and import settings> backup .. choose external storage or some other location and it will create a file that can be restored by Nova on any device or rom .. it simply contains Nova settings plus desktop page data

anyone else getting an incorrect md5 for the Cm-12.1-20150523-Nightly-D2Tmo nightly? I've tried downloading via cyanogenmod downloader on phone and pc, same md5 both times, but it doesn't match the one posted on cmxlog :(

Bluetooth isn't working right if you're using recent nightlies. Always turns off until you reboot after a while. Seems that it might take a while before it's fixed.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] YPG70:
Hey all I am thinking off installing official CM12.1 .. are there any bugs still present that I should know? Is the battery drain and camera fixed?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] StealthBravo:
Battery drain is gone, camera works, Bluetooth is iffy, VPN is also iffy.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] plamic:
Is the google play services package required for gesture typing?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] YPG70:
Thanks for the reply! I am gonna go ahead and update! Bluetooth isn't needed for me right now. so will do.

One more question is it safe to restore data from CM11?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] thefanum:
Apps and app data, yes. System data, probably not.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] YPG70:
Thanks !! Can't wait to try it out tomorrow! :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] YPG70:
Is there a specific method to root it?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] thefanum:
Root should be built in on cm12, although you may need to enable it in settings:

by far the best functioning rom. I am having two issues if anyone can offer suggestions. 1. While using skype, mic does not work. 2. GrooveIP Wifi Calling fails to connect.

thanks
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] xx2dxtremexx:
issue

Im having an issue. I installed the new nightly and set everything up. Its not allowing me to mannually set up an apn or recognize that I have a sim card. I tried installing the suggested modem in the op for apn issues however it did nothing to fix the issue. Any suggestions?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] guest_2011:
Grooveip 1.4.8 here connects but then i get constant crackling noise. It's been like this since probably day one i installed 12.1 because now i remember why i stopped using grooveip earlier. Skype i can't test. Nobody to connect with. T999L
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shangsung:
That's exactly what i'm experiencing with GrooveIP. I do recall previous versions of this rom being semi-compatible with GrooveIP and the settings which control this is beyond me.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] guest_2011:
Just tested tab3 8 cm12.1 same thing. What version grooveip do you have? I kept the old version compatible with my google voice number. Everything worked in cm11. Grooveip 2.0.9 works in tab3. S3 can't connect > sign in screen > webpage not available ... because net::ERR_TUNNEL_CONNECTION_FAILED <<< because of adblock proxy. Works in S3.

I cant use my handssfree on this rom...i cant use headset....all sounds will stop and i wont hear anything again untill i reboot
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] serdna75:
I'm seeing 2 issues on the 5/28 nightly.

#1: Gmail notifications not working correctly...I get a vibration and LED flash, but nothing in the Notification Drawer/Bar. Tired clearing data in the Gmail app, clearing cache & Dalvik in recovery, and uninstalling/reboot/reinstalling the app.

#2: I never see the lock screen. Set it to Swipe unlock, and screen goes dark after 30 secs. I normally click the power button to lock it manually. If I hit the Power Button again or the Menu button to wake it, I go directly to my home screen (or whatever app I had open at the time).

Same issues whether I run on the stock kernel or DKP's 5.1 kernel from 5/08.

Anyone else experiencing this?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] pcaseiro:

Bluetooth Fix??

Ok, so this doesn't make sense to me, but I rarely make sense.

I use a Moto 360 with my S3 running CM12.1. nightly from June 2 I googled "CM12.1 Android Wear" and stumbled upon an XDA forum for the LG Optimus G. The poster MPSANTIAGO pulled system/etc/bluetooh off an official LG 5.0.2 rom and created a zip patch. I know the devices aren't the same, but I figured what the heck and flashed it. I have been running it for two days and had one disconnect but it only lasted a few minutes. Could be just the latest nightly fixed it, but it seems to be working. The post is here:

http://xdaforums.com/optimus-g-pro/general/using-android-wear-device-cm12-1s-t3118818

Let me know if you try it and it works for you!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cLogic:
I cant get past how you're running a nightly from the future! :D :silly:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] badbob001:
Installed cm-12.1-20150604-NIGHTLY-d2tmo on my T999. Issues found so far:

The included AOSP keyboard is invisible until you touch it. Solution is to install the Google keyboard from play. Somehow, the aosp and the google keyboard are connected. On the screen to activate/deactivate keyboards, deactivating the google keyboard will also deactivate the aosp keyboard. But I can deactivate the aosp keyboard while leaving the google keyboard activated (this is my current config).

The device doesn't know when the usb connect is removed. For example, when I connect the usb and have it set to connect as a media device, the 'connected as a media device' remains in the notification area even after the cable is removed. And it's not just a notification-level bug. If I go to developer settings and try to change usb-debugging, the option is greyed out because it says I can't change this setting while connected on usb.

Is there a way to uninstall the included Calendar, Browser, and messaging apps? I rather use the new google calendar, chrome, and hangouts instead. Perhaps uninstall it via titanium backup?

I also notice email and exchange services running. I use touchdown for exchange so how can I shutdown the built-in exchange services?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cLogic:
personally, I install Swype .. so no help regarding keyboards

I use this aroma gapps to choose which Google apps to install and which cm stuff to remove http://xdaforums.com/android/general/gapps-lp-gapps-pa-gapps-aroma-installer-t3010798

it is currently not stable while he merges with Open gapps, so I recommend that you take the LP-GAPPS with Slim GApps as base (last update: May, 25 2015)[discontinued]

I'm rooted with stock mod 4.3 ROM. Can I just download the rom and flash in TWRPrecovery?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] StealthBravo:
No. You need to completely wipe and then flash.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] badbob001:
Actually, I've found out that it's super easy to uninstall the rom apps.

Enable root. Install SU app.

Install file browser that supports root access (like ES Explorer).

Browse to /system/app/, look for a subfolder with the app name, and move out the apk file.

Be sure to check if it is safe to remove the app as there may be inter-dependencies. I would move the apk to another folder or sd card and if anything bad happens, just boot to recovery and move the file back.

Here is a wiki page that gives you some idea what apps you can remove, though it's not updated for the latest version:

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Barebones

I didn't have any issues with google apps, though I did notice one time that if I try to use a google app immediately after boot-up, it may not work and I have to wait a bit. I installed the one listed on the first post (gapps-5.1-2015-04-20-15-56-24.zip). When I upgraded my wife's phone, I downloaded a newer gapps from cyanogenmod (gapps-5.1-2015-06-02-15-19.zip): http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps

I've also switched to using the Nova launcher. When you have more than one launcher installed, google will ask you which one to use and you can set one as the default. But if you later update one of them, google will prompt you again. To stop that, I've removed the built-in launcher from /system/priv-app/trebuchet. My mother-in-law's phone auto-updates its apps and it's confusing to her if she tries to go to the launcher and it comes up with a dialog box (she doesn't understand english).

Another thing I want to replace is the built-in camera app. The app is basically google's camera app, but I want to replace it with the newer version from the play store. But installing the play store version doesn't upgrade the built-in one but installs the new one separately. I wonder if I can just remove the built-in camera app or maybe rename the new one with the name of the old one:

Built-in camera: /system/app/camera2.apk

Play camera: /data/app/com.google.android.googlecamera-1/base.apk
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] marcmarshall:
Yes, that is what I meant. Looks like the iinstructions in OP only involve going from stock, unrooted and involve ADB loading. Just wanted to make sure there was no reason I could not simply wipe and flash the zipped ROM from recovery since I am already rooted with custom recovery and custom stock ROM.

Looking forward to breathing new life into my S3 while I still have it paid for!

Thanks
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] badbob001:
I think I'll just keep using the built-in camera app. Sometimes the camera will not work and I want to keep things simple so I can isolate the problem.

Another bug is that when I connect to the pc with a usb, I can mount the internal sd card and see it from the pc, but if I try to transfer files to or from, it will not work and the phone may even lose access to the external sd card.

---------- Post added at 10:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:58 AM ----------

I too came from a touch-wiz-based 4.3 rom on my T999 and upgraded just fine. I just booted to recovery (TWRP), wiped everything except for the sd card, installed the latest modem, installed the rom, installed gapps, and rebooted.

---------- Post added at 10:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:03 AM ----------

This appears to be the d2tmo changelog for the nightly builds:

http://www.cmxlog.com/12.1/d2tmo/

If I have a nightly installed, to upgrade to another nightly, can I just flash the new one without wiping?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] marcmarshall:
So this ROM zip does not update the modem? I believe some do. I am running T999UVUENC2. Does that need to be updated?

Thanks
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] badbob001:
From my experience, roms don't usually include the modem update. It is mentioned on the first post that you may want to upgrade the modem firmware if you encounter an issue.

T999UVUENC2 is the latest for the T999 so if you have it already, then you are good on that part. It's not necessarily a requirement to use the latest modem firmware as some people may even get better connectivity on a different version depending on where they are. There is even a thread in this section devoted to different modem versions and people's reports on their performance in the context of where they are. But since I don't have any major issues, I didn't want to get too deep into something that may not result in any meaningful difference.

Some roms do say a specific minimum modem version is required so to be safe, since who knows what modem version someone is coming from, is to go to the latest and dial back a version if any issues comes up.

One bugg I have when I make a call or received a call the screen go's black
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] thefanum:
I believe that's a feature, not a bug. It's to keep your ears from pressing buttons while on the phone.

It's also an indicator that your proximity sensor is working correctly, which I have had issues with on cm11 on this phone.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cLogic:
this is why I recommended the aroma-based gapps

you choose which gapps to install

you choose which cm apps to uninstall

it uninstalls those apps properly

if you choose to uninstall the cm keyboard but don't choose to install Google keyboard, it will override and install it so that you aren't left without a keyboard

you can install Google camera and leave or remove cm camera

aroma-based is graphical menu driven

make a nandroid

flash/update your nightly

flash the aroma gapps .. choose what you want .. it will do it

and remember .. choose the may 25 version

cheers

Blue Tooth Voice Dial

Just flashed

last night. So far things look pretty good and my phone is definetly snappier.

I lost root and did not know about the option in the developer options for root. Did some Google and flashed supersu in recovery to get root access.

The camera is terribly lacking in options. Installed Open Camera. Looks pretty good but no HDR.

I have no blue tooth dialing and have not been able to find a fix for this. Does anyone know how to get BT voice dialing working?

GPS not working either. Might have to abandon this ROM :(
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cLogic:
gps has nothing to do with a rom .. it is the hardware in your phone that has become "loose" or lost calibration

you will most likely have probs with every rom you flash/restore from now on

search for gps fix forums

personally, the prob is usually resolved after using a gps test/calibration app or flashing stock and calibrating

it happens to Me every year or so

remember to nandroid backup
