Must be my phone or kernel. I tried rebooting and it hanged. Had to re-install everything. I'm going to wait 'til everything's installed and try it again. Google Camera works from the store but my front-camera crashed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] avruma:
Just downloaded and installed front and rear camera works. Thanx. Does anyone know which version of xposed works on this ROM I saw there was more than one android 12.1 version. I want to add the call recording module
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
12.1 is lollipop 5.1 so the xposed for 5.1. Which is super alpha so be careful.many modules have not been updated for 5.1. And if you aren't even sure to use xposed for 5.1 for cm12.1 then perhaps you should rethink using super alpha software. Not trying to be rude really, just passing on a warning. Have you seen the xposed thread? Lots of the same questions over and over from folks who don't quite get what alpha means.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] akaTRAP:
I can also confirm the camera works, along with video. Is this ROM sluggish for anyone else?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wilberfan:
Well, I just clean flashed the 04/22 build. Camera works, but after a reflash of the APN, and half-a-dozen reboots, still no data... It knows it's VirginMobile...but there is no data connection.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] I Brick Phones:
Sluggish at first but now that its settled I'd say its snappier than cm11

Also, I want to send a big thanks to [MENTION=4487349]Lrs121[/MENTION] for working on getting these builds to us! Thanks a million.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Lrs121:
Sorry, that's one of the reasons I dropped MVNO's and went with a mainline carrier. So I don't have to deal with stupid apn issues. I used to go through a small regional carrier and lost mms and sometimes data when I used a custom rom. All I can say is keep trying and hope it's something to do with the rom and not anything else causing data issues. My only other suggestion is to make sure you are running the latest modem firmware and that your profile is up to date using a stock rom. Also as of the 5/22 build the Android version is 5.1.1 so beware mods that rely on 5.1.0. Such as kernels and probably xposed
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wilberfan:
I can remember having no-data issues suddenly during KitKat development. It resolved itself when I upgraded to a newer modem. What's the best way to determine what the "latest" modem is? Is it hardware dependent...? In other words, is the latest modem for Samsung different than the latest modem for HTC, for example...??
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Lrs121:
Very hardware dependant, and usually carrier dependant but I'm not certain if it's different from a sprint phone and one for virgin mobile. You can find out what modem you have by looking for baseband version or something under about phone in the settings. Someone in the Q&A thread is on MK4(the last three digits) and says data was working but they had an overheating issue.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ksmullins88:
Can confirm all camera modes working. Dkp kernel breaks ffc for me so I had to keep stock kernel for it all to work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] akaTRAP:
that's probably what broke mine. That could be what's making my ROM sluggish as all hell..... *sigh* gotta flash yet again.

EDIT: hey ksmullins, try this. It's dkp 4/22 http://www.mediafire.com/download/4uvn67hyyhs5hrv/dkp-aosp51-d2-20150422-001349-dkp-aosp51.zip

Oops. I just noticed this on your OP:

.

I'm on ND8. Rats. Wonder if that's the explanation for my sudden no-data situation...? :( I wonder if I upgrade to NJ2, if that will affect my rock-solid SlimKAT if I need to revert? BTW, thanks for the link to the APN fix--but that's the one I've been using successfully for months and months. (Not helping in this case.)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] iBlowpot:
Could be a bad download. I'm not on NJ2 and I've ran into that problem a few times. Data has been working fine with this build though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
No data on VM either. Even after APN flash. A few things are reading null in APN settings. I'll check more later, at work right now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] FatalIll:
No data here on VM either. I'm using MK5 modem as this was the latest modem that is KNOX-free. I have never had an issue before now, it is almost 100% likely that it's an issue with the ROM. I'm going to wait a few weeks for it to be fixed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wilberfan:
I got a private message that suggested changing "Preferred network type" to "3G" (from LTE) in Mobile network settings. That restored my data connection. (This was after flashing the APN fix.) (Thanks, Luniz2k1!)

On a related note: I'm really chompin' to odin the NJ2 modem (being on ND8 now). I've read reports that it's a better perfoming modem. Any reason I shouldn't...? :eek:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Lrs121:
None that I know of, I haven't heard of anything bad from those how are using it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] FatalIll:
What APN fix did you wind up flashing? Links appreciated.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wilberfan:
Clean-flashed the 04/22 build, and I have no calendar entries, and all of my paid apps in the Play store show no indication that I've paid for them. Used the euroskank gapps-L-4-21-15.

How do you disable selinux?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Lrs121:
Why do you want to?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] avruma:
I installed xposed for 5.1 and the module pictures2sd and it works perfectly on this Rom
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Slimegod:
Just asking just to ask. I did a build and I can't find the app I used to disable it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Lrs121:
There are probably several apps and xposed modules that will set it to permissive, but there's no real way to disable it completely. Which setting it to permissive isn't entirely a good idea. Some things may rely on selinux being enabled and should only be set to permissive if you absolutely need to. With out it you're phone is inherently insecure and will allow any kernel module, kernel commands, and shell commands to go anywhere and do just about anything without your knowledge.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Slimegod:
I understand, thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] akaTRAP:
Maybe it's just my phone but this ROM is (slightly) less laggy than the unofficial 12.1 ROM, but still pretty laggy, especially when scrolling through the apps menu. Other than that, the camera works fine.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] vdude8:
Oddly enough, my 3G (and 1x) isn't working either. However, my setting was already set to 3G as preferred - changing to LTE allowed 4G to work, but 3G was still unavailable (noticeable when I left a 4G zone). Any ideas?

Also, I recently switched to NJ2. I haven't noticed any major changes, but my battery life seems to be a little better :victory:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] lvpre:
Pretty good rom! I finally got around to testing it today for a few hours. Calls were fine, texting worked, internet was great, GPS Test had no trouble finding a GPS fix. Stock camera app worked great with stills and video. I didn't have any lag in the few hours I used it.

Has anyone figured out the phantom voicemail icon? I use google voice, but still got it for some reason. It is related to the com.android.phone apk. If you force close it, the icon notification disappears. I'm sure there is a line of code somewhere to change from true to false would fix it.

Anyway, great job and start!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] FatalIll:
May I ask how you got the GPS working?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] avruma:
For me I installed ROM set it all up then created a backup on external SD card. I then did a complete wipe installed a touchwiz rom updated prl,profile,turned on gps and opened waze to see that it was working. I then rebooted to recovery and reinstalled my backup and everything works well
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] lvpre:
Thanks to Saafir for the link. If the phantom voicemail issue is frustrating you...do this:

1. Make sure you have root access. Settings > About Phone > Tap on Build Number a few times

2. Enable Root Access in Developer Options Apps and ABD

3. Open File Manager

4. Settings > General Settings

5. Scroll down to advanced

6. Access mode...change it to Root Access Mode

7. Download the TeleService1.apk below

8. Go to the file and click on the box to in its download directory

9. The bottom of the app should say 1 file selected

10. Go to /system/priv-app/TeleService

11. Inside that folder, hit the three dots and hit move selection here

12. You should now have TeleService.apk and TeleService1.apk in the folder

13. Change the permission of TeleService1.apk to rw -r -r Long press on the app, hit properties, and then permissions. Basically, the first column should be all checked with R, and the Owner W should be checked. Nothing else.

14. Long click on TeleService.apk and click delete. It will probably give you an error, but just go up a directory and come back.

15. TeleService1.apk should be the only file left.

16. Rename it to TeleService.apk

17. Reboot

18. Success

I've rebooted several times, made a few calls, and even received a voicemail...but I also use google voice...and no phantom voicemail icon. If you are still using Sprint Voicemail. the apk is below..but you will probably get the 9106 message.

I'm using the April 22nd build, but I imagine that this fix will probably work for a while. Even better if someone can make a flashable zip or better directions.

If you are wondering, the edit was in the CallNotifier$2.smali
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ksmullins88:
Thanks, I'll have to check it out. The battery life on the stock kernel has been pretty good to me.

You're a gentleman and a scholar. :svetius:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dubsides:
After flopping back and forth between cm11 and this one realized I'd probably lost my page plus APN settings somewhere in the mix(not even coming back on restore). Now I know what the settings are supposed to be but I can not make anything stick (have tried APNbackup&restore in priv-system, APN changer, etc...). Does anyone have a working way to update the APN on this ROM, or is that still something being worked on?

/great job on this, great to have on an old phone!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] iBlowpot:
I've been looking for the solution I came across some time ago, but I came across this:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dubsides:
Tried it but that setting was already set that way oh well will keep looking
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Lrs121:
I'll look into doing a cherry pick of it and making a build with it. However, it's under going code review so it could break other eri/ril code and cause a form of code regression and break usage for other users or telephony stuff including calling, messaging, and mms.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] lvpre:
NFC and google wallet. Just an educated guess, but I believe the NFC hec drivers may be closed source and that's why CM or aosp roms haven't had Google Wallet access. For us, touchwiz has the drivers since it is distributed by Samsung. HEC gives us the ability to do secure transactions. That's why we can send files, but can't make payments. I'm sure it is similar to a camera driver, but the demand is higher for that than getting Google Wallet to work properly. Hope this helps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dubsides:
Finally got page plus APNs working, just had to use APN Backup & Restore in /system/priv-app/ to restore a page plus backup that I found. doesn't show up in APN settings but going to whoismyisp showed i was coming from verizonmvno with 3g.

Thanks everyone!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] BlockOfDynamite:
Hi all!

First of all, I want to thank you for an apparently mostly working CM 12.1 ROM!

Second of all, for whatever reason, I have not been able to boot a CM 12+ ROM on my phone for quite awhile now. I've tried lots of different CM 12 ROMs, but none of them ever get past the boot animation. The only one that worked for me was Nexus11's early builds, but I don't remember which one that was, nor do I wish to try. Anyway, after I decided that his builds were too buggy and yet featureless for me, I decided to go back home to a CM 11 ROM. I have since not been able to flash a CM 12 ROM, and I've no idea why. I've tried all sorts of formatting everything, all to no avail. Do any of you have any idea what's going on? I am on the very latest modem, which I believe is NJ2 (but it only updated after I flashed stock a few weeks ago, so the problem manifested itself before the update)

Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Lrs121:
What recovery and which version are you using?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] BlockOfDynamite:
I'm using the latest Philz recovery (a CWM variant I think). I believe I've tried using TWRP before but either I couldn't find it or it wouldn't work :( I'm really excited if this would work because it seems like a very nice ROM but for some reason it just won't take.

Edit: I just found your TWRP link in the op (I wonder why i've never seen that list of TWRP images anywhere else before) so I'll try that.

Edit: yeah. seems like TWRP doesn't want to wipe anything. it throws a bunch of errors about not being able to mount anything.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Lrs121:
I put it up a couple days ago. it may work if youve had issues with official twrp in the past. there may be an issue with the 8.6.0.0 may have issues with encryption, i dont recomend using it if youve encrypted your internal or external sdcard
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] BlockOfDynamite:
Hm. I tried both the latest official TWRP and your fixed-fstab TWRP and both threw mount errors. Suggestions? Nothing was ever encrypted on my phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Lrs121:
Try the 8.4.0.0 version that one is known good, unless thats what you mean by latest. if that doesnt work Send me the text file from this command

cat /proc/emmc > /sdcard/partition_mounts.txt

you should be able to post it here as an attachment and also a copy of the recovery log from my recovery if you can get ahold of it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] BlockOfDynamite:
I've got the partition_mounts.txt file saved, but no way to access it given that the TWRP recovery still can't mount anything (so I am not able to write it to microsd, only internal storage), even for USB storage.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Lrs121:
you can run it from a terminal emulator in android
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] BlockOfDynamite:
So, if I'm understanding correctly, I should flash a working ROM and run the command to save the file? That shouldn't take long.

Also, I can talk in PM if I'm taking up too much of this thread.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Lrs121:
Yes, and its fine. some other people may run into a similar issue and this may help them if they read.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
Yeah twrp doesn't mount anything, not even system, on the VM and boost s3.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] BlockOfDynamite:
That doesn't make any sense in my mind since my phone is the L710. It's originally just the Sprint version with a VM ROM. The L710T is the one that has all of the issues, I believe.

Edit: it's not there on either my CM 11 rom i'm running temporarily OR the latest (4/25) CM 12 rom that I tried
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
Whether or not it makes sense to you, it is so, and also sucks lol. Twrp does not mount anything on the VM and boost s3. There is 1 subtle difference in the mvno versions. I can't remember right now but its more than just a different ROM on a sprint s3. I'll find the info for you. And I'm not referring to the triband model. Those of us on VM have never been able to use official builds of twrp. The build octos made seems to work. Its for the triband but but it works. They fixed something else in it besides the changes for the triband. I used it for a while.

Update: the boost and VM have an extra partition called "carrier" that seems to be the culprit.

To blockofdynamite When you're on working cm11 and go to settings/about phone, what does baseband version say?

2nd you say you have a sprint phone with a VM ROM, so in settings/about phone, what does cyanogenmod version and build number say?

As far as I'm aware a Verizon ROM should not run well if at all on a sprint phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Awesome Donkey:
Yep. I wish we had a developer that'll post 'fixed' Virgin/Boost builds of the latest TWRP for us.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
Me? I'm on nj2 now (sprint) but mine is virgin. I Odin flashed nj2 a while back because there is no nj3 .tar. I updated my previous post.

N/m, I see who you were talking to. Oops
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] BlockOfDynamite:
Baseband is NJ2

And it's a VM phone (exact same as Sprint phone) with Sprint ROM.

And why did you mention a Verizon ROM?

Oh sorry I have been out of the loop for a while and did not know there were other phones that could run sprint ROMs, I guess VM is not Verizon ha ha, best wishes finding a solution!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Lrs121:
I can do it I just need the a copy of the fstab for it... I Do have a generic fstab of sorts but it so happens that my 8.6.0.0 build doesn't it. If someone one on boost/vm could try the 8.4.0.0 of my builds and let me know if it does or doesn't work I might be able to remake an 8.6.0.0 build. Also a new cm build is up with the supposed apn fix.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] BlockOfDynamite:
I believe I also tried the 8.4.0.0 build with no success :( For some reason, neither official TWRP or CWM like to play nice with my phone. What's so special about it? It's just the same as every other Sprint S3. What really frustrates me is that there is no difference between this and the other phones, yet so much trouble is being caused by something so trivial. Grr.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Lrs121:
yah i have no idea why the boost/vm phones wont mount on the 8.4.0.0. the way the fstab is set up should work as it uses generic paths instead of the emmc block numbers.

this

/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system

instead of this

/dev/block/mmcblk0p14
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
Philz is really the best choice for us on VM. Its really not exactly the same as the sprint one. I have a IMG file of a twrp that works, its 2.8.1.0 I think.

twrp
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Lrs121:
if you get me the image i might beable to tear the fstab out of it and make a newer build. though 2.8.1.0. should work just fine with cm 12.1

Well since the official builds are out I'm just gonna say this last thing. I made a twrp build for boost/vm using the fstab from the recovery you linked but it is untested. Version 2.8.6.0 can be found under the link in the op, it's labeled boost and virgin. also if anyone wants me to make a thread for the twrp builds(if they work) let me know and Ill make one as soon as I get arround to it.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Awesome Donkey:
Yup, it sure was. :p

Thanks Lrs121 for being willing to compile a working TWRP for us. :) Maybe you should start a new topic for it? A LOT of people would be happy to know about it and it might call enough attention for the devs to officially fix it. Speaking of which, is the carrier partition the cause?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] BlockOfDynamite:
Ha! You think I'm not waiting long enough. I flashed it before I went to bed last night, woke up and it was still on the boot animation. Tried reflashing again with the Cyanogen recovery provided by OP about an hour ago, still with no luck. :eek:

The steps I used to flash the new CM 12.1 Nightly:

1. Flash the cyanogen recovery image

2. Wipe Data/Factory Reset and Clear Cache

3. Install Update and point it to the CM 12.1 Nightly zip

4. Wipe Data/Factory Reset and Clear Cache

I left out the install of the gapps package just to make sure it wasn't that causing the problem.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] iBlowpot:
you actually go through with number 4? That's the issue. Leave that part out. ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] BlockOfDynamite:
Thaaaat's not the issue. I've done it with and without that step.

PS sorry if I sound rude, but I've tried almost everything to get CM 12 to work aside from throwing the phone out the window.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] iBlowpot:
All in all going through with another factory reset wipes the device again, whereas it's ready for you to flash a ROM. Not sure why you're experiencing this problem if you; Factory Reset/Wipe Data, Install CM, Install GApps, then Reboot.

PS: no apologies were warranted. I understand the frustration.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] FatalIll:
I had a long boot time when I first flashed this ROM, after about 15min I got ansy and pulled the battery, when I powered back on boot time was normal and it went to "Android is updating apps..." etc etc. Try that, see if it helps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Slimegod:
Yeah recently I've had bad luck with recoveries out of nowhere. Both TWRP and cwm. Was running the latest version of TWRP, did a backup; restored it and it got hung on the Samsung screen. So I odined and I did the same thing. Had to take it to Sprint and they got it to boot. Did a backup and I booted fine. Now I did another one and it took 234 seconds which is way short for a backup to be done from what I've noticed. But I have no idea. Been dealing with TWRP for who knows how many years. I know at times it gets buggy but I've never had a this issue.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] BlockOfDynamite:
Still a no go :( If someone did a nandroid backup of a clean flash, would it be possible for my phone to restore that? That would be interesting to know.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mattzeller:
If those are the steps you followed, you did not wipe internal SD as I suggested earlier. In philz recovery 6.48.4

1. Wipe Data/Factory Reset and Clear Cache

2. Go to mounts and storage > format /data and /data/media (/sdcard)

3. Flash ROM

4. Boot into ROM
