Chrome: if you enter chrome://flags and look for "enable gpu rasterization" and set to disabled, restart chrome, and it behaves much better.

Also, this ROM was OK for me on stock kernel, but clean wipes and installs with Archi, Agni and Boeffla all give just a black screen.

Boeffla wrote a log to the SD as it was trying to boot, the last thing it said was:

"Checking for Rom boot trigger..."

yes F-AOSP but that is a mixture of aosp, cm and caf, my one is PURE AOSP

Pure AOSP

I like CyanogenMod, but I also like the idea of a pure AOSP version, because that should be easiest to do and therefore carries the hope of few defects and a long life, i.e. longer support for newer Android versions. (Of course we always hope.)
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] winxuser:
actually, cyanogenmod is the easiest to do as just about every device can run cm,, aosp is only made for nexus so there is a fair bit more work to be done to get things working
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] hgmichna:
AOSP

I did not know that it is more work. I thought it would be less.

But then the question arises, why do it? If CyanogenMod runs well, it is certainly good enough for everybody. And one perfect solution is better than two imperfect ones.

OK, two perfect solutions are best. :)
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] TimeWalker75a:
Running the ROM for a week now, the following drawbacks identified so far:

- Random soft reboots of unknown nature

- Bluetooth goes out occasionally - lose sync with Fitbit and don't get Caller ID /SMS notifications (requires complete reboot)

- Mobile data goes out occasionally - happened once so far (requires complete reboot)

- Battery drains quickly if pulsing notification light is enabled and you get plenty emails per day (eg. exchange)

- Youtube will say ‘There’s a problem playing this video. Touch to retry’ when playing 720p

- Locking the phone with torch lit will disable the torch, leaving notification and tile active upon phone unlock. Saw an issue on GT-I9300 device tree github saying they have the same problem, but it's because it interacts with libcamera.so and our phone uses sysf to toggle the hardware flash (in an ideal world or prior to CM12 with standalone torch app).
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Antipathy:
I don't know what happened to me and I don't quite know how to recover from it.

Do note that I've flashed before, I'm in no way a beginner and I've recovered from several bootloops and even soft bricks.

Yesterday while cleaning up on my phone using my Windows computer via USB I accidentally somehow removed the folder /sdcard/storage

The same second I did that I got pushed out of the explorer window of my phone and I thought, oh I accidentally closed the window.

Opening up the phone again I see my entire sdcard is empty and so is my external sdcard.

Full data loss, I am sure I cannot recover anything lost, so I've already accepted that.

But I can't accept not being forced to use my phone with KitKat after haven gotten used to Lollipop.

Upon rebooting my phone hoping it'd maybe just have somehow partially un-mounted itself, but it hadn't.

It was stuck in a bootloop now, so I thought, figures.

I went to TWRP recovery (Latest version available directly off of their webpage, v2.8.7.0) to recover from this bootloop by simply doing a complete format, factory resets etc. Upon having done that I proceeded with installing this ROM again as it was the one I previously had but in a slightly older version, can't recall which as I do not longer have that .zip file downloaded anywhere.

And now, after having flashed the version available here in the OP along with several different variations of GApps to make sure that wasn't causing the problem, I even went without installing them to test it further.

To make sure you follow what I did so I can make sure there are no misunderstandings.

I'm doing it as I write this.

1. Reboot into recovery (TWRP)

2. Wipe/Factory reset

3. Install cm-12.1-20150823-UNOFFICIAL-i9305.zip

4. Swipe to confirm flash

It progresses like normal, skipping the MD5 check because there is none.

No errors occur during the installation and it all progresses as it should.

5. Wipe cache/Dalvik

6. Reboot System

It goes to the Samsung logo, then starts the CM12 bootanimation where it doesn't progress further.

I'm at a loss here and I don't know what to do to solve this.

To make sure it wasn't the device in general after my accident I also after having gotten stuck in the bootloop re-tried this in different variations to make sure it wasn't my fault, I also installed the stock ROM to make sure the phone wasn't broken.

The stock ROM can be installed and can be run, I can get into 4.4.4 KitKat provided by Samsung.

I'd love some help in this to make sure this never happens again.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] hgmichna:
The storage folder is some kind of Android defect. Deleting it deletes everything. Has happened to me too.

The other mistake was TWRP 2.8.7.0, which is defective for this phone. Use 2.8.5.0, which is the latest that still works. You can flash the 2.8.5.0 IMG file with TWRP 2.8.7.0.

To recover from this you can flash a particular flashable stock ROM version, followed by CyanogenMod 12.1 and the Google apps. I can point you at the stock rom file tomorrow, if you cannot find it until then. But try flashing CyanogenMod right now; perhaps the stock ROM you tried has already fixed the problem.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Antipathy:
I have tried and I'm trying still.

I've even tried installing the cm11 version for i9305 provided directly from their own website.

I still get stuck in the the bootanimation loop.

That's peculiar, is the 2.8.7.0 version really broken? Because I had it prior to self-destructing my phone.

I'll try downgrading the TWRP version.

As for installing a stock ROM followed by CM I've already tried that.

Tried it in different variations, such as directly on top of, which TWRP told me I can't, so I then had to do a wipe/factory reset, then install CM12.1, even after having done that I still get the boot-loop.

Because installing stock removes the recovery I've already had to re-install recovery four times using ODIN.

What I did then was install I9305NXXUFOD2 for my device and again repeating the steps I mentioned above.

I'll try what you said and hopefully it'll work.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] :
yeah, 2.8.7.0 from twrp.me is broken. The recovery partition for the i9305 is too small for the new recovery, it messes up the whole partitions on the phone. As stated, flash Stock ROM, flash either twrp 2.8.5.0 or another recovery and stick with it as of now
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] ultyrunner:
Interesting, as I've been using 2.8.7.0, without apparent recovery problems ... What are some of the symptoms of the small recovery partition? I had always used Philz in the past but was led to believe that you could only switch partition formats using TWRP 2.8.7.0. Does 2.8.5.0 re-format partitions per different file formats too?

I'd much prefer Philz but obviously I can't move between EXT4 and F2FS if I use it.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] :
but you're using the version from StdBarbarossa who tries to fix the broken build. Totally different build than the one twrp made via jenkins.

The recovery for the i9305 is only approx. 8MB, I think even less. If you flash the faulty one from their site you're not even able to do anything in recovery since the faulty one can't mount /system, /data. You're not even able to install any ROM since you cannot even find the mount point in system.

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] hgmichna:
Fix boot loop after using TWRP >2.8.5.0

TWRP 2.8.7.0 spoils the partitions. Go back to 2.8.5.0.

Stock Samsung Android overwrites the recovery when you boot into it, so don't do that. The partition repair happens already when you flash it.

You can stay in TWRP. Flash stock, then flash CyanogenMod directly afterwards. You can download the stock ROM here:

Stock ROM to repair the partitions

Try the one I mention above instead. That is known to work.

Synced latest CM sources and used your device tree + commons + kernel sources + old blobs in the manifest. Bluetooth does indeed work.. and like you were saying it seems like YouTube doesn't suffer from the 'There was and error..' issue any longer.

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] TimeWalker75a:
I know for a fact that torch works as supposed on a Neo variant of the phone (9300I). But that's based on Qualcomm MSM and has a dedicated flash sysf, opposed to sharing one with the camera flash. Not sure how that works internally.

Now obsolete torch overlay would let you chose to either use camera interface (like now with the qs) or the sysf approach. How they have not retained the ability to fall back to sysf with CM12 qs is a surprise to me...

Not a developer myself in any shape or form, but if you just read through the torch overlay, its crystal clear. Alternatively, echo 10 into /sys/class/camera/flash/rear_flash and 0 to toggle back.

Recovery boot loop after factory reset from Android

Problem

This GT-I9305 had worked perfectly fine with CM 12.1, until today I chose Settings, Backup & reset, Factory data reset.

Since then I have had a persistent recovery boot loop. I see the black and blue "teamwin" screen, then a brief flickering, then "teamwin" again for all eternity.

I remember a similar situation, which at the time I solved with:

heimdall flash --RECOVERY twrp-2.8.5.0-i9305.img

But this time it did not help. The phone is boot-looping in the recovery, no matter how often I reflash the recovery.

Adding --no-reboot to the Heimdall command does not help and is not necessary, as CM 12.1 is already on the phone. No matter which buttons I hold at power-up, the phone boots into the boot-looping recovery (or into download mode).

Workaround

The workaround turned out to be flashing a different recovery. I used Philz and tried to start it, which did not work well (irregular distorted display problems). I flashed TWRP 2.8.5.0 again, and everything was fine.

But it is still a problem. Other people might stumble into this and may not always have the means available to flash recoveries and the like.

Can anybody confirm this defect? I remember once seeing this flicker, as TWRP boot-looped, but it did so only once and then started just fine after that one loop.

I could imagine that CM 12.1 does not hand over the factory reset commands in the proper way.

Have tried and tested your latest builds (after reviving my old i9305):

So far most seems OK – except for the Bluetooth issues already mentioned.

[MENTION=4439705]winxuser[/MENTION] (and others): Thank you for bringing 12.1 to the i9305!

Have tested XPrivacy – and XPosed – with success.

Background:

I like Samsung hardware (AMOLED displays). I am fed up with their software. I want tighter control on app-security – thus XPrivacy…

I have just finished building the official 12.1 ROM for my ks01lte(i9506). Next is the Chagall(T800).

If there is a need – in a few days, when I get the time – I could maybe assist, taking a look at the Bluetooth issue(s)? I am new to Android development, but I am experienced in Linux kernel and embedded development.

Eventually, I would like to build my own ROMs for all my devices…
