Hey guys, I've been using v15 because all other versions games and apps were crashing like crazy (even after clean install).

I'm currently updating to the latest version to see if the issue got solved but I've been having 2 issues that bother me a lot first my messages app keeps crashing, and sometimes, when I click on the contacts it just writes their name but doesn't have the number and then says the message doesn't have valid contacts. When I do the exact same process again is works (2nd try always works). The other issue that's bothering me is that the flashlight keeps going out after 2 or 3 minutes on. Does anyone have any idea?, also, does anyone have any kernel recommendations?

Thank you
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Scorpionea:
About flashlight

Don't know if u have this option in v15 but in later version u have this option

In settings~temasek spare parts~screen and animation

Here u can find option *disable torch on screen off*

And u can set delay time when flashlight will close after your screen is off

[Galaxy S III Android Development] WakerPT:
Oh, I just updated to v 17 and tested it and it didn't go off. Now I went on settings and it is indeed unchecked. Maybe that's what was wrong. Thank you.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SteStanich:
I did it and only had 1 FC. cleared settings data (as I've been suggested) and everything is just perfect now.

How to disable the numbers on the keyboard?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] goldbeard:
thanks for the question..im in need of a solution too..as of now, installed Google Keyboard from Playstore which does not have the numbers at the top of the keyboard.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] DaSuperGrover:
Not my experience, did Arter over DS and no problems so far.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] agent0071001:
Builds after V15 are way too slow, Battery drains fast, Apps stop and relaunch.

Each build after the V15 is incomparable.

Installed V16 multiple times, and went back to V15s,

Recently the V17.3, that I Installed, also has the same horrible problems of the V16.

I don't understand the cause of such problems, but I'm quite sure, after many installs, clean and dirty, of Builds v16 and v17.3, that the cause in the build itself, and so, here are the problems which I didn't have in any build before v16 and later:

Phone is way too slow, slow to open apps, slow to multi-task, slow to open recent apps panel, slow to get to the Home Launcher.

With that slowness, phone is getting very noticeably hot like never before, It seems it is doing something extensive, although it's way too slow, nothing is moving fast.

With number 1 & 2, Battery is surely draining faster than before, way faster.

It's a secondary problem in comparison to all others, but Wifi Signal is weaker than in builds V15 and before.

This is the WORST of all. Many Apps keep restarting, when multitasking between a few, and ESPECIALLY, the Home Launcher, which in my case, is the Google Now Launcher; Whenever I open any app, with/without other apps in the background, and then press the home button, the Google Launcher is not ready, and restarts itself, more bad, is that everytime the launcher restarts itself, I see the thumbnails and Icons horrifically FUZZY!, and even after the launcher restarts, when I go to the Apps Drawer, the Icons fuzziness is present, and takes few seconds till icons adjust!.

Such problems are in all Builds after V15, and they don't go away by clean flash either. And so, each time I have to go to v15!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] 2phazt:
Since v16 every version is getting better and better - I would search the reason for the misbehavior of your phone elsewhere - it's not the rom...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] agent0071001:
Weird. I actually did presume that it's not the build itself at first, as I stated that I have clean/dirty flashed it various times, and not only only build, but build V16 and the last one v17.3. But as the problems stay the same after all tries, I can't think of anything but the build itself!.

Other thing, which I don't know, have the builds of v15 and previous ones used different kernels? or such things that might be changing the way the system uses the RAM.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] J.Oblak:
I clean flash 17.3 from arter and DS, then my imei blank and baseband become unknown. Anyone can help me please.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Moopow:
Sorry but I have to disagree with you. I am on v16.7 and the rom is super great, smooth and fast. After flashing boeffla kernel and used one of the intelliactive profiles the experience has gotten even better... It's now Buttery smooth ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Asdain:
Hey all,

Thanks to all involved for these awesome roms!

clean flashed 17.3 (Arter build) today after running on DS 17.0 for a while. I had a few minor issues with the earlier versions that have almost all gone away now.

One problem remains though, my E-Mail app keeps crashing.

I tried the Stock E-Mail app after clean flashing and it crashed every few seconds. I deleted its data and flashed Gmail (from modular GApps) over it, cleaned cache again rebooted. Gmail is almost not entirely unusable, but it too crashes very frequently.

Does anyone else have these issues? is there a fix/workaround ?

Cheers,

Asdain
[Galaxy S III Android Development] agent0071001:
Good for you. It's just not a thing of agreement or disagreement. It's the case I have at moment, and I know that it may be different from what is with others. Which is the always normal thing.

However it's not slow while using an app, it's slow while using multiple apps and moving between them.

What Kernel are you using, and how much RAM is used?

[Galaxy S III Android Development] remizik:
can you describe your process when you dirty flash ? just so i'm sure i'm not a complete retard (because last time i had a lot of FC after dirty flashing ..)

this is what i do :

- do a nandroid backup

- flash the rom over without wipping anything

- reboot without flashing any caches

thanks for your help :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] back2android:
Even if you are dirty flashing, you are suppose to wipe cache partition and Dalvik cache.

before ? after ? both ?

[Galaxy S III Android Development] madcat9000:
problems with bootloops after dirty flash, sometimes appear with another custom kernels before installed, like Boeffla for example. After boot, old boeffla config try rearm old kernel and execute config file. This Problem is solved after reinstalling boeffla kernel with cache\dalvik wipes or install another kernel. I use that new kernel from archi https://github.com/ArchiDroid/ArchiKernel/releases (ArchiKernel_V2.1-AOSP.zip) pretty perfomance, with stock archi pegaususq settings but with 1400mhz and active boost on tap.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Moopow:
The name of the kernel I am using is boeffla-kernel-4.0-alpha12-CM12.1-NG-i9300.recovery.zip

[Galaxy S III Android Development] remizik:
any of you guys using this phone with work email ?

i'm using Exchange for work,

and I have issues with this rom (and yes it IS rom (or cm12) related because no issue on cm10/11)

receiving email is ok.

but almost 50% of the time, when I open an email, and try to press back (or use the back arrow within the mail app), the app freezes.

this is regardless of the app (standard email app from the rom, other apps from the play store that are compatible with exchange (tried 3 different ones)).

same thing with my coworker who is also using this rom on his S3.

thanks for your feedback :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] 2phazt:
Same happens with aquamail while using imap.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MkLim:
Anyone mind to share their lmk or kernel setting here?

Btw, i experience reboot especially listening music to the default music player provided in this ROM.. However, it does not happen when i use VLC
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Asdain:
This exact thing happens to me too when using stock e-mail app or Gmail.

I only just installed Aquamail so I cant tell for sure there yet. ( did not add all my accounts there yet)

I don't use e-mail that much but now that I need it a bit more it does become quite annoying :/

Any ideas for workaround ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] remizik:
happened to me and my coworker on Gmail too indeed ...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sperelli:
How can we roll back to the preceding version?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] 2phazt:
The most stable way would be to restore your backup.

Another option could be to make a clean install of the older version.

Or you could try to just wipe system, cache and dalvik and flash the older version but this could make problems.

I would try the last option at first but as always: make a nandroid before you do anything else.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Furqan Ullah:

with all of this roms encryption does not work. Is it my (device) fault, or does it not work (why ever) and i have to wait?

It would be nice if someone can test it or give me an info about this issue.

And once again a big thx to all of you devs!

Temasek v10.3 with stock kernel

tested with BetterBatteryStats over night: consumption of 0.3% per hour (phone is 3 years old)

Thats what I'd like to know to. Especially while charging the LED is very weak with stock kernel.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Unmercifulity:
okay thanks I'll try it later but kinda hate that word suggestion on swiftkey :p

btw what's the best kernel for this rom i'm using stock kernel right now and i'm thinking about a better battery life :confused:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mendoza101991:
I use unnofficial Temasek CM12, just finished setting up this rom and everything works well!

I would just like to ask which kernel can I use in this rom?

I like the customization boeffla has in his app and kernel. Specially changing pegasusq to use only 2 cores boeffla sound and zram.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kbh9229:
swiftkey fixed crashes on some devices but u can use other alternative keyboard. i personally bias with swiftkey

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Smiecho:
First of all: wonderful job guys! Everything work smooth, camera is working, I have none of the problems described in this topic before.

However there is another problem. I clean installed V10 with mini gapps and stock kernel and then dirty updated V10.3. I get disconnected from WiFi from time to time... I set Titanium Backup to create backup and push it to Dropbox through my home WiFi every night. In the evening WiFi connection works but next morning there is a notification about dropping connection (so TB cannot push backup to network). WiFi gets back after turning it on manually. It happens every 1 or 2 nights. I'm thinking about logcat but it would be very long (at least a few hours)...

Does it happen to me only (is it my access point fault) or any of you keeps disconnected too?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cidesphere:
Within system profile, mobile data connection cannot be toggled on/off. I'm on 5.1.1 v10.3 and there was no issue on 5.0.2 v9.4. Using rom with stock kernel and installed with clean flash. And also power toggle application cant toggle on/off mobile data either. Except this, as always great rom and many thanks to [MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION] and [MENTION=2332422]temasek[/MENTION] for great work.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Hazelberg:
Just flashed and it seems great! Good job dev. Everything running smoothly, had major instabilities running another lollipop rom.

Only thing I have noticed so far is that the scrolling is very different from what I am used to, it has very little resistance and it feels quite weird. Is there any option to change this or will I just have to get used to it?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Kimenyi:
I think you get that only if you use the Google Now launcher (it comes automatically with Google Now which is built into the Google app). In Trebuchet launcher , it is only activated when you open Google Now.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] iliassdi:
This ROM is very nice and flawless!!The only 2 things i've noticed is that the exchange suddenly stops (i have sync my mails that's why i am talking about exchange) and the clean master app suddenly stops too.

I don't know if it is something serious or not. If anyone know anything about this i would be greatefull if he/she could answer me.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Kimenyi:
Not sure if you really need that Google Play Service - it's a battery killer. As was suugested to me, I've disabled the Wake up, Keep awake and Auto Start options in Google Play Services to save battery and it has significantly increased my battery life. Btw, mine is still working after the 10.3 update (dirty install, all my settings are therefore restored).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] jamesvinz19:
Okay, I've been using v17.3 for days since t'was released. So far so good. No lags, no memory hogging, and of course, battery's not leaking. :) Been using v17.4 and I think I get a better batt life(just a very small improvement). Thank you for this next to perfect ROM! :) Keep it up!!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Furqan Ullah:
Good. I just took nandroid backup. Will try 17.3 and let u know abt the results.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Furqan Ullah:
Last time when I moved from v15 to v16. I did dirty flash and no issue found. This time I will also dirty flash first. I believe it should support as the ROM is same.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] joberror:
On v17.3 after flashing, I'd discover my VPN apps weren't connecting until I deleted the "data/data/com.android.settings" folder and everything went back to normal except that when Data/Wi-Fi/Hotspot is on then the the battery drains faster than abnormal which I believed it's a issue that can not be corrected on Lollipop.

I'll be flashing v17.4 maybe tonight.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] J.Oblak:
Hi guys, please help me here. I flashed v17.3 (arter and ds version) but my baseband became unknown and imei blank. I am using stock rom 4.1.2 and my baseband is I9300DXEMB1. I've googled this issue and found many solution but nothing work with my device. I've tried flashing modem .zip file after flashing rom, restore efs only from backup, follow this tutorial, but all does not fix the issue.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Cliff_T:
I've the same Problem after upgrading to 17.3. And i have wiped dalvik and cache.

Also re-flashing the gapps doesn't help.

I have the GApps for 5.1.

Has anyone an idea?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] 7dwergen:
you damaged your /efs .

so just restore that important folder.

you did made a twrp or nandroid backup of /efs before flashing, didn't you?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] J.Oblak:
I have twrp backup. I've tried restore the efs backup but my imei and baseband still unknown.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] konohanz:
Try to flash your stock rom hopefully it would bring back your imei and modem, after that you may reflash v17.3 :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] J.Oblak:
That is what I've done. I restore the stock rom from my backup. But when I retry flash the v17.3, same issue happened.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kasperok:
Restore your bkp and be sure your baseband and imei is ok with your old 4.1.2 ROM.

If everything is working fine, you need to update to a newer stock 4.3 samsung rom (in that process samsung will change your efs partition type and will update your baseband, that's your problem so far..)

Once you updated to a stock 4.3, check your imei and test your phone.. if it's all ok.. then you can safely flash any 4.4.4/5.x.x ROM with no problem.

at least that worked for me..

I also have the strange LED behavior, so I assume a ROM issue.

Just trying to install about 20 apps from the play store and have frozen now 8 times requiring power-button reset. Overall its very nice and smooth and no FC errors but if the freezing continues I will have to flash back I suppose.
