Is there a reason why now my LTE speeds are 10x faster? They used to be about 3mbs and now are in the 30s.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NoCrAppleHere:
Which one of the Dhacker gapps do you recommend? Is this the right place? http://d-h.st/users/dhacker29/?fld_id=27426 Going to start with the OP gapps but want this in case I have an issue with them also. Thanks. :)

Click on the name of the file, not the icon/checkbox on the left.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
The one at the top which is misnamed at 20150503 since the actual date shown on the right is 2015-04-03. I just reached in and grabbed the folders out for apps I don't want without extracting the zip (other wise the won't go away! You can disable them but not uninstall them, even with TiBu. They just keep coming back, like zombies.)

The folder Videos is for Google TV, Music2 for ..., PlayGames, Talkback. Hangouts in priv-apps, etc...

EDIT: It's on dev host so all kinds of crap starts to happen if you access it with yer phone [emoji20]
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NoCrAppleHere:
Cool cool. Thank you.

Sorry to bother you again but only one file and one folder is in the video folder in the dhacker gapps you mentioned. What am I missing? What happens if these apps are installed? I use Hangouts though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dranyam:
Thanks for making me feel like a moron! :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] amf66:
I recommend bank's gapps. http://fitsnugly.euroskank.com/?rom=banks&device=gapps
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
You just delete the whole folder from the apps level. If you install them, they will be there forever (so to speak) You can disable them but not uninstall them. They are zombies that rise from the grave. EDIT: Except I guess you can delete the folders after install, which I did once, and they didn't come back, but I kept getting update confirmations for those apps even though they were gone. I guess that was a ghost.

Our pleasure![emoji12]

Also, [MENTION=2044079]Nardholio[/MENTION] suggested to wipe the system directory when installing both ROM and gapps dirty.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NoCrAppleHere:
Ty for the heads up ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
Ya, I tried those and succumbed to an avalanche of fc's upon boot. (Maybe I didn't wipe /system before installing) Someone else reported the same. I realize he's updating them frequently, which is good.

CORRECTION: I used the 4-8 rather than the 4-7-15.zip Banks gapps which had new Google Play Store app which is what locked up my phone.

I had pretty good results with 5.1 Pico PA-GApps as well I think.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NoCrAppleHere:
Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] merujeffrey:
ques

please, can i flash this rom on a locked bootloader(kk)?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mastamoon:
No no no no no no no. No.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DubleJayJ:
I have state competitions from Wednesday to Saturday, what's the best build in terms of battery life for most of you? Don't wanna have to be constantly going back to the hotel room

EDIT- Also link me to the gapps you used with the build you're on, read the pages and everyone is having issues with the different ones
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
I am running 4/10 and it's just about the best ROM for me since Lolli came out. Best battery life, too. I do use Greenify. As you can see, there have been a few different recommendations regarding gapps. Seems like it's best to follow the OP's advice, then fall back on the others if it doesn't work for you.:good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Samsung.Galaxy.S3:
I'm using 5.1 PA-Micro. Works just fine on 04/09 build.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DubleJayJ:
Camera is working 100% fine? No one and done problem and video is good?

EDIT- Also are you on stock kernel or DKP? I may end up flashing DKP
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droidriven:
OK guys, to save confusion between the two threads for these builds, which has working stock camera and what if any adjustments/tweaks/mods/methods have to be applied for camera to be stable besides using Open/Cyanogen/Viva?

I'm looking for a stable camera build so I can see about applying what [MENTION=2963287]mastamoon[/MENTION] or [MENTION=2385005]invisiblek[/MENTION] has done for camera into some of the other d2vzw lollipop ROMs if its ok with them?

Tapped under ice from my Ice Cold lollipopped S3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
I use "A Better Camera" Many shots and back and forth between video, pause and go... It just works. I got no reason to try anything else, especially since I like it.

On stock for now. May try dkp soon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DubleJayJ:
Only reason I may be trying dkp is because of swipe2wake, it's a super nice feature but is it worth sacrificing the camera for it? Not quite
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
Yes, I've ordered some Dunce caps for all who need one. ;) [MENTION=2044079]Nardholio[/MENTION] suggested it as a last resort because he probably thought anyone who had gotten to this level of custom ROM flashing surely would have already taken care of that. I don't know how many times I saw [MENTION=2963287]mastamoon[/MENTION] tell people that and cocked an eyebrow at those poor schlubs...:cyclops: <== moi
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] brandonb0013:
Running the 4/19 build yet, its flawless except battery life is awful. 49℅ and 1hr 19 min left. Screen used 2%. It sat idle while I was doing homework for roughly an hour and a half and drained 45%. I installed BBS and will check it after it drains and reboots. I also did a calibration, if that can cause bad battery life.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
By the way, us dunces may have a pass to let us out of detention. I am absolutely sure I've been updating my unlocked firmware as time has gone on. Every step of the way, a new ROM claimed such and such firmware/bootloader is required. Or a new modem, etc ... I have all of that software, most of it still on my device! There's no way I could've flashed all the way to Android 5.1 without those things.

So, something happened that required me to "reflash" the bootloader/firmware, or whatever one wants to call it. ADB and TWRP still tell me I have I535VRALE6 "bootloader." These "system info" apps do the same. If you adb reboot-bootloader, you get into 'Download Mode.'

100 Quatloos for someone to tell me how I can verify I have VRBMF1 on my phone. I've been searching and searching and reading articles and all that info leads to the same thing: bootloader just shows I535VRALE6. (Apparently that's the Download Mode software/partition.)

I've looked at the firmware files and see the updater-script and where everything goes. Don't know if there's anyway to see in those mbn files. It ain't enough for me that my phone works again - I must know why! Else I'll always just be a Thrall.

Yeah I've had really the best battery life ever on that ROM - I use Greenify though. Some apps really suck the life out of your fun. Spotify - the worst! You can also stop apps from automatically starting during boot Settings>Privacy>Privacy Guard, then touch 3 dots, choose 'Advanced' and swipe right till you find it. Be choosy, though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Deliquified:
It doesn't tell you "I5350YUDNE1" in Settings > About Phone > Baseband version?

NE1 is the latest Baseband if I'm not mistaken.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droidriven:
You wouldn't happened to have been watching too many of the original Star Trek episodes on Me TV would you, lol. I just watched that episode earlier this week.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
Yes, but I'm talking about the firmware/bootloader/bootchain, which for both of us should be VRBMF1 (which also did come with and flash a modem/baseband, but I flashed NE1 when it came out. (And reflashed it last night.)

:laugh:

It's on my DVR right now waiting for me.... I've always been in love with that Shanha since I was a kid. That outfit doesn't hurt either. (But that hair is a little extreme!)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droidriven:
Lol, yeah, the hair is a bit much, she's a little on the too thin side also, kinda elvish.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
What modem/baseband are you on?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] brandonb0013:
I did some toying around and am getting substantially better battery life today. Also, I realized xposed is not available for LP? Well, there is a special version. Which version is it? I miss the snapchat saving ability. Thanks again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
I tried that Xposed for LP about a month ago and it no-workee. Maybe it's improved?

Your modem version 'Settings>About Phone>Baseband version' might tell if you're in the same boat as some of us were with our firmware, since you were having the same problems. Can also effect other things including battery life.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] brandonb0013:
Hmm, I hope we get Xposed. Also, I'm on VRBLK.

Anyone using the 5/9 nightly? I'm getting a slow slowww sloooow charge. Kernel possibly? I'm using the stock kernel, I never mess with that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ffeingol:
I just installed 5/9 so I have not charged yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NoCrAppleHere:
Keep me posted on your thoughts, ffeingol. Ty
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
That's WAAAY off!!

I'm surprised your phone's working at all with that. If you want to do a very simple procedure to upgrade your phone to what's needed to fit in with LP and also flash any version of cm nightlies you want, you just need 2 zip files and flash them one after another, then your good to go.

1st file: firmware VRBMF1 https://www.dropbox.com/s/ggakew4zarw89p2/d2vzw_VRBMF1_firmware.zip?dl=0

2nd file: modem/baseband NE1 https://www.dropbox.com/s/imm1608c8fjx8uw/d2vzw_NE1_modem.zip?dl=0

You won't have to reflash your ROM or anything, but your phone should run a lot better!

PS - If you are presented with a notice that your phone is not rooted anymore when you try to reboot, it offers to install SuperSU. I just said yes to installing it - it didn't interfere with cm's root mode or anything.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bamaredwingsfan:
I've downloaded it an will try it using a different kernel to see if that works out good.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XdrummerXboy:
I've had this issue since 12.0.

Maybe it's a different issue... But if the battery is near full, I lose charge when it's plugged in (screen off). If the battery is low, it charges some, but reaches equilibrium at around 50% as a guess. I just swap batteries now.

Ive tried different chargers and batteries, no change.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kmoore11:
I'm on the stock kernel and getting decent charging speeds, but I don't remember exactly what I was getting before. 10% in the past 15-20 minutes, estimated 1:58 to go from 38% -> full. Doesn't seem too abnormal.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NoCrAppleHere:
Never had battery issues at all, only when I wasn't rooted. Haha. I had the phone at 15% yesterday and no charge. I unplugged it and just used it. At around 13% it turned off by itself. Today at 23%, plugged in and dressed & showered, came back and still 23%. I went back to 5/8 and charging is fine now, back to normal.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ffeingol:
I just charged mine and it seems normal. Dies way too quickly now days, but charges normally.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NoCrAppleHere:
Gotcha. Well, hopefully the next nightly will be better for me, 5/8 doing the trick for now. ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Deliquified:
To anyone unhappy with their battery life.. Order this now. I can go 2-3 days without a charge and it's worth every penny.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DubleJayJ:
Hopefully cancelling my contract on Monday and switching teams. Won't be on XDA much anymore, but I'll drop in from time to time to update my S3 and Nexus 7. Battery life on this phone has gone down hill very fast, doubt it's ROM and/or kernel related it's probably just reached its life. Just wanna say thank you to all the developers of EVERY ROM, past present and future for their hard work. This phone is how old and it's still kicking this hard? Only possible because of you guys!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ffeingol:
With the amount of Ingress I play I doubt it, but it would be better :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] phonetool:
I have always been a fan of BIG batteries on my phones. I have that 7Ah one on my Gnex daily driver as well as one for my S3 that's waiting for CM 12 to stabilize before I activate it. Good stuff.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NoCrAppleHere:
WTF, phone was sitting on 21% forever while plugged in. I pull my battery and reboot, phones on 8%. Smh. Hoping 5/10 cures this or I'll need to wipe & start fresh.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] brandonb0013:
On the 4.19 build, anyone have issues with the snapchat camera sending green videos?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NoCrAppleHere:
Well, I never had that with Snapchat, but there was an issue with green vids when uploading to social media. I would take the video, no problem, great video, I'd upload it to Fb, Gram, etc and I'd have sound but nothing but a green screen of video. It was fixed shortly after I gave InvisibleK and Mastamoon my logcat. Idr which build, you can search the thread here though. I'm assuming it's the same issue, as it's uploading videos anyway you slice it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XdrummerXboy:
I've had that, don't remember which build though
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
See post #395. :-/ ???????
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NoCrAppleHere:
Yeah, I think I was on 4/15 with this issue. I can't find what build the issue was fixed in still, but have you tried 4/30 nightly or the build amf66 put together a week or so ago? I mean, I'm on 5/8 nightly and sent snapchat video without issue all day today. Good luck
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] brandonb0013:
Hmm, yeah I flashed both of them still with that issue. But since I have them I should be able to upgrade to a newer nightly?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
Now you got it! There should be nuthin' to stop that now...:good: I've got 5/9 on mine. There's a 5/10 now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] brandonb0013:
Which one's gonna be the best daily driver?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SotYPL:
4/19 version is definitely the best choice as of now. I have tried all nightlies and every one of them has the same issue with bluetooth: first try of making a call from car's screen always fails but second one works fine. And ending call from car's screen of steering wheel button doesn't work. 4/19 version that somebody posted before is working perfectly. But for whatever reason I'm getting green thumbnails in gallery for videos recorded by the phone before. Stock video player plays them fine and videos that I still have recorded by my old Samsung Fascinate have correct thumbnails created.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NoCrAppleHere:
Start with the 4/30 cm nightly, download on the cm site. That's what I recommend. Gl?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] brandonb0013:
It seems that some of them aren't available. They say 404 not found when clicked. I did manage to make the 5/06 download. Is that a decent nightly? Either way, it's downloading it and I'm gonna try it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NoCrAppleHere:
Yeah, I never had an issue with 5/6, but that's me. You should be fine though. GL
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Stealth111:
Yeah, somewhere in the last week or so, bluetooth took a dive. It was 100% perfect for me on the first few official nighties. Now I can no longer even get it to work in my car. The bluetooth connects, but sits there going off and on saying no phone...I have totally wiped and forgotten the password and connections on both, still no luck....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ffeingol:
I'm on 5/9 and having the same Bluetooth issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XdrummerXboy:
Same-ish for me. Also my moto 360 vibrates every 30 seconds or so because of the phones BT connection to it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Shakes The AssClown:
I'm on the 12.1 5/10 nightly with no issue with Bluetooth.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Samsung.Galaxy.S3:
Working here as well. :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] brandonb0013:
Is fast charge available on the CM ROMs kernel?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] brandonb0013:
Is there any other issues with 5/10? Currently on 5/6 and BT turns off randomly. Not very effective when you wear a pebble lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Samsung.Galaxy.S3:
Build: 05/10

GApp: PA-Micro

So far, none have come up for me. Bluetooth and all are behaving as expected. Of course, I went with a clean install (as I always do).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LLStarks:
Next build should be LMY47X
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] brandonb0013:
Flashed 5/10 and the PA micro and get Bluetooth issues more often already. Going to go back to 5/06 I think. Any suggestions?

Edit: could it be a thing where like on some older roms, you had to have a GPS lock when flashing from touchwiz to jellybean to make sure you get a lock post flash?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
A commit for Bluetooth is up for the next nightly. Don't know if it changes anything you guys are struggling with:

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/98101/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] brandonb0013:
and thats the 5/12 nightly correct? or will that be the following one?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kmoore11:
Hopefully the following. I'm still having bluetooth issues on 5/12 with a clean flash. Edit: Yeah, not included in 5/12, should be in 5/13. That's really the last big issue I've been having.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] stevet86:
I just have to connect the bluetooth in settings everytime I turn the device on. The problem I'm having is the phone will reboot, mostly while charging. When it is done booting I will not have a data connection. I then restart and it's fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] brandonb0013:
Ok great, I'll have to give it a go. Yeah idk about other people's issues, but mine will just shut off randomly. Sometimes it'll say Bluetooth share has stopped working. Sometimes it won't say anything and just won't turn back on without rebooting. Never seems to happen at a certain time or event. It stayed on and connected to my Pebble all night, and then I've rebooted 4 times today.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XdrummerXboy:
I've booted and it automatically turned off data, which is weird. Have you checked if data is actually enabled? Might not have to reboot each time that happens.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
Nope, sorry about the confusion. For 5/13. Lot's of commits.

http://www.cmxlog.com/12.1/d2vzw/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] brandonb0013:
Yeah when I boot I don't have a data connection either, I go to settings and mobile networks and change the apn to something then back to vzwinternet or whatever works.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] stevet86:
I'm just throwing this out. Since recent releases, I have not been able to access Netflix on data with the app or browsers. It all works on wireless though. Any ideas?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] brandonb0013:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
What build are you on and what modem are you using?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kmoore11:
I've been wondering this for a while but haven't gotten any answer. This would make sense though, since it's not ROM or version specific.

Noooooooooooooooo. I've been so excited for the last 24 hours to finally get that fixed. The wait continues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] brandonb0013:
I know those feels bro. We'll get it though! And although I'm not too good with this stuff I'll do my best to help the devs.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Tbenson:

Just flashed 5/12 and now MMS works in default app. Was on 4/30.

I flashed BC I saw so many commits for d2 kernel stuff
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NoCrAppleHere:
I seem to always have an issue with cell signal from build to build it seems to come and go. Will flashing the NE1 modem after installing nightlies help or anything else I could do?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
Shouldn't help - it's on an untouched partition regarding flashing ROMs. But, it won't hurt anything.

Looking at the updater-script in any ROM tells you everything that's mounted and written to - 4 partitions. Here is a great list of the partitions on our device. (The key to seeing it right is full screen and reducing font size.)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NoCrAppleHere:
I see. K, thanks for the 411
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
Has anyone been able to successfully use CMUpdater?

I always get an error in red from TWRP saying "E:Zip file is corrupt" and another line after reporting error as well. However, I carefully checked the zip file each time and they're fine and install manually fine.

Build: 05/14

GApp: PA-Micro

Just installed the new build. So far, everything is working well. I'll let it run its course to see if anything comes up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] brandonb0013:
i did the 5/14 right away last night and instantly got the BT fail, then reverted back to 5/13 this morning, had the BT issue 3 times, now its been good for the last 3-4 hours. i really have no clue what causes it and cant seem to find a pattern. i do however have an issue the first time pandora opens where itll say "pandora has stopped" yet itll run and play music until i hit ok, then it restarts and runs fine. not sure if there is a correlation between the BT issue and pandora or not. i havent started pandora since i rebooted and its going well so far. FYI im on a hacked pandora apk for unlimited skips and no ads, but i have no issues on 4.4.2 and also once it has the initial error. dont know if this helps at all or if i rambled, but i would like to help get to the bottom of this because its the only issue i have with cm12.1 at the moment.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
I always dirty flash - no need to flash GApps or wait forever for apps to reinstall. Problems maybe once every 3-5 months? Actually cant remember the last time I had problems :good: on 5/14 now.

I did have a moment today when booting up from the flash everything was wonky, but it turned out to be a Nova update happening at the same time and they're throwing some curve balls out there.

[MENTION=4729183]Samsung.Galaxy.S3[/MENTION]: Keep us updated about how the BT is working. I only use an old earpiece so it always works.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] brandonb0013:
so what could be the reason that only a select few have the BT issue? its baffling, because i am on NE1, and the (latest?) modem that was recommended earlier in a post, and i always clean flash (because i dont wanna wreck my DD). i did not use PA-Gapps on the 5/14 flash though. i used BaNkS-dynamic-gapps-L-5-15
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bamaredwingsfan:
Are you using a different kernel? If I use the stock kernel, my bluetooth volume is low even at max volume. But if I use decimalman's kernel volume is much better. Maybe it's us guys using other than stock kernels that are having the bluetooth issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] brandonb0013:
I am on the stock kernel. I didn't know there were others available. But you guys have troubles with them? That sucks. I'd try them otherwise.
