thanks man! so awesome to hear that willingness.

now my only stumbling block is softkeys.. does OCT have on screen nav keys? am i able to add a screen off or power or screenshot?

i like to avoid using the physical keys as much as possible. even use the proximity wake under gestures to wake screen . [emoji1]
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droidriven:
See, I told you they were some good guys and that you should give them a try because they are open to input from the community to add feature requests.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] canodroid15:
We have the custom nav bar but its just the norm. We're working on adding smart bar, fling & pulse, but still have a ways to go yet. If you haven't heard of those check out "DUI" from dirty unicorns for info on what it is.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jaws4God:
do u all have nav ring? can it do screen off / ring vibrate / power menu?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jaws4God:
has any releases come out recently? curious on MM status. thanks !
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jaws4God:
well i keep thinking about your support team.. and I remember seeing a post on another forum about how you all design your own kernel as well.. i'm gonna try and use your ROM some more.. going to download today.. I probably have to go with Oct LP since I really would like to have a functioning front camera.

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jaws4God:
I flashed 5.1.1 ... was working on getting things setup.. realized I don't see a way to have access to the power menu .. i know on AICP.. they have an option in the notification bar.. a quick tile.. or from the notification ring... did I miss it on your ROM?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jaws4God:
I was in a dilemma... wanted to go with M (even though FFC is still screwy)... but when I tried Oct M and CM .. both did not have a way to access the power menu from the screen... so was going with AICP.. their download page is down and going to AICP 5.1.1 had an error finding OTA update... UGGG..

so based on the community and hard work.. going to go with OCT M and hope they add a feature to get the power menu from screen.. ( :) )

I did have a glitch.. when adding a tile.. when i scroll to bottom of list.. it will error and close and reboot the launcher... anyone else experience this?

Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droidriven:
The power menu option is in the "tentacles" feature, its in the pulldown menu and in the app drawer.

On LP you gave to go to dev settings and find the build DATE and tap it to enable tentacles, then you'll find power menu options.

If you are asking for a way to activate power menu without pressing the power button, I am not aware of a way, not that it doesn't exist.

Anyone Flash 4-23 Build Yet?

I been running it for a day now and it's solid as a rock. I'm very impressed. I use this ROM on my daily driver all the time with little or no trouble. The new Kraken Kernel rocks, custom mods in Tentacles are cool, and I like weekly builds better than nightly builds. Some of these builds are so stable I have a difficult time convincing myself to flash the next build, then curiosity takes over and here I am. Good work Team OctOS y'all are top notch.:good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jaws4God:
Yep, that was what i was asking.. I love the idea of stability and a great dev team.. but I just need a quick way to access my power menu on a daily basis.. if you all do incorporate this feature, PLEASE let me know! Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] canodroid15:
Looking into it for ya, I'll let you know if we get it!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AyUaxe:
There's an app, "simple reboot," that provides the functions of enhanced power menu via a screen shortcut. Works for me on both phones.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jaws4God:
Thank you. I will be honest, i try to use as few 3rd party apps as possible to avoid conflicting issues.. I typically would much rather use a ROM that has the major features built in. I have used "Quick Reboot" app before.. specifically when i was using MIUI since that has limited functionality and dev support.. but if there are multiple similar ROMS, and some have the features baked in, that seems to be more stable and less likely for issues or storage problems.

Thanks again!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sylgui:
Anyone have a download for this? Checked out the original invisiblek thread and the link is dead. Same issue here, stuck in a bootloop.

EDIT: nevermind, tried the link in the OP for CM13 and it worked. Perhaps I shouldn't be doing this at work :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] canodroid15:
https://www.teamoctos.com/weekly-builds/ scroll down to D2VZW and click it then scroll down and download the latest build should be 4/30 build
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sylgui:
Got the firmware updated, flashed the ROM and gapps and everything is running great. Big thanks to the devs!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] toosurreal01:
Interested in trying this out as soon as the front camera is working!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jaws4God:
yeah, a lot of us on MM6.0 are wishing for this fix... last I read was that someone on the ATT S3 forum has been working on it and pushing updates to the CM team code.. just not heard anyone say that it was fixed yet... hoping it would be soon. Would love to see 6.0.1 become a stable rom like 5.1.1. :D:D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] canodroid15:
New weekly up on site! ENJOY! https://www.teamoctos.com/weekly-builds/

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jaws4God:
any major changes? FFC ? Power Menu on screen button?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] canodroid15:
I'm not sure exactly what you mean, but we've looked everywhere trying to find a way to access the power menu without actually having to hit the power button to no avail. However we do have the options you mentioned in power menu. They've always been there. It's in tentacles settings which you can access 3 ways, QS tile, tentacles app icon in app drawer or settings/about phone/tap build date once. Here's a screenshot of the power menu ...

If you can find the commits for the features that you speak of, we'll be glad to try & get it in for you. Just PM me with the commits & we'll take a look see. ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ScottDB:
I've found a bug in the camera app in 20160416-weekly on my SCH-S968C. For the first time since Xmas, I tried to record a video. It looks like it's running, I see the timer, but the video doesn't get saved. I restored my nandroid of OctOS-L M6 final (from mid-March), and video is working great (and saving).

I have tried a couple of other camera apps from Google Play, but both had issues with video. One wouldn't save the video, and the other would save it, but said the video was broken when I tried playback.

I'm guessing that the camera app from Oct-L M6-final can't be brought forward to Oct-M, right? (That would be too easy, wouldn't it...)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jaws4God:
I sent PM, haven't heard back.

But basically i'm going based on what AICP has done. I am able to get to the power menu either by:

Tile - Screen Off (long press for power menu)

On Screen Navigation (SmartNav) - Allows me to add double tap and long press to the Back / Home / Recents button. So right now i double tap recents to take a screen shot, double tap home button for Power Menu, and double tap back button to force close current app.

And they actually went a step further, where I could still use the physical menu and back buttons.. so i have my menu button long press to turn off screen. :D

Thank You.

Does this Mean a Working FFC Might Be Coming Soon??????

This thread is about a d2att but it seems encouraging. http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3-att/development/unofficial-cyanogenmod-12-t2968854

---------- Post added at 10:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:24 PM ----------

Jaws4God Does the Power Button on your S3 not work??? I'm just trying to clarify with all this talk about accessing the Power Menu without using the Power Button. I think I remember reading one of your posts something about this. I don't really have a solution just trying to be on the same page.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jaws4God:
Yes the power button works. :laugh::good:

I just want to make sure it stays that way.. lol... I just know that clicking the power button / home button on a daily basis will eventually wear it out.. and i'm not sure how long I will keep this phone since we don't have the money to buy new phones... :eek:

And perhaps i'm spoiled now because I know that with some custom roms, they have many options to open the power menu or do other tasks that avoid using the Physical Power and Home Buttons.

I probably will stay with AICP for a while.. it has all of the features i enjoy and seems to be fairly stable. I just know I still love to flash new roms and see what other options are out there in case i do find an even better ROM for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] canodroid15:
[MENTION=1801772]Jaws4God[/MENTION], OK now that you've explained it in more detail I actually understand exactly what you're talking about. We're currently working on getting this added to the ROM, actually we have been for awhile now. I'll be sure to let y'all know when we get it in. Oh & sorry for the late response, just been working long hours lately so I've not been online much ?

Its called Smartbar Navbar with fling & pulse ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jaws4God:
Thats Great! I would love to consider using your rom if its more stable than AICP.. That does sound like the name of the Navbar i've seen on AICP. Thank you!

OH!

I did see that a member on the d2att forums have a fix for the FFC, are you able to find out how to apply that and maybe be the first to have a working FFC for vzw variant?? :) (d2att forum) :good::D

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] canodroid15:
I promise when we get smatbar in you guys will know :) it'll be a big announcement! Camera is always being worked on. Its more stable than its ever been both FFC & rear. Is it perfect? No... but its better than it has been.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jaws4God:
i'm curious, for me, the FFC would not take ANY pictures with a decent amount of light... are you saying this version of OCT OS take some front facing camera pics when brighter light?

Thank you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bigbaluka:
For me the FFC is fickle in a different way. By no means does it work. In the beginning it was just as you've described "no pics in decent light". I've tested it on every build and for the most part I've noticed no change save maybe three times. Once I got like 20 selfies in my car on a sunny day with my sunroof & windows open, so that was weird. Then it was up to it's old tricks again. More recently I was not able to take pics in the dark with FFC and then I turned on the light and it took a few pics. I'm not a dev so I don't even know what goes into fixing this but to me it's easy to see that someone is working on this issue. Currently it's pretty much back to the original issue. I've even wondered if it's possible to fix it at all but the answer to that would have to come from someone with way more knowledge than me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jaws4God:
I just read on the CM13 thread that some of Matrix Code fixes made it to CM 5/30 version.. has this made it to Team Oc ?

We sync with CM before every weekly so yes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jaws4God:
what will be some of the

major changes

on this weekly?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droidriven:
I would say flash it and see but you'll just go back to AICP so its kinda pointless.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jaws4God:
ouch.. that was a little harsh... I would love to use OCT OS actually.. the development team seem to be very friendly and they say their ROM is very stable. It is true that there are a few features that I would really like to have that OCT OS may not have yet, that is why i'm asking.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droidriven:
Just giving you a hard time because of the way you bounce around using it, lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] FReQ Z:
Boot loops. Grrr...

I'm resurrecting my S3 for a specific duty and the app I'm going to be using requires Android 5 or higher. Got rid of CWM, installed the latest version of TWRP, and followed the instructions in OP, using micro GApps. I get the OctOS splash screen, followed by the 4 little circles for approximately a minute. Phone reboots. I saw during the ROM install screen that it could reboot a few times, which is fine... but it's been approximately an hour Made sure to use the ROM md5 file also to ensure a good load. I'll wipe and try again.

Does OctOS require a specific baseband to be installed for the S3?

Edit: Okay, 2nd time for "optimizing Android apps". Weird.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droidriven:
Did you do a clean install? Wipe data and system then flash?

You said resurrecting, what were you on before you flashed Oct?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] FReQ Z:
Definitely did a clean install. Cleaned everything but system\media. The phone was on rooted stock, not sure of the version anymore.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droidriven:
I'm on ST S3 so I don't know the recipe for your model, I think you've got to be on a certain bootloader version and a certain modem version for the ROMs to work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] FReQ Z:
That's what I was thinking. I can't find the info anywhere. If you can get me the version numbers when you get a chance (today, tomorrow, whenever...), it would be greatly appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droidriven:
That info about stock firmware version, bootloader version and modem version was posted in the d2vzw CM12/12.1 thread in this forum at one time.

I think this is what you want.

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3-veri...m-cyanogenmod-12-1-nightlies-verizon-t3113037

The firmware/modem combo in the OP is what you're looking for I believe, ask [MENTION=5519140]Master Cylinder[/MENTION] anything you don't understand and he'll hook you up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] FReQ Z:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] postal302:
Is there a way to boot into safe mode? I'm having boot looping issues, but I'm beginning to suspect hardware failure. Yesterday my S3 randomly rebooted after being up for about 10-12 hours with no problems. Now when trying to boot, I'll get the boot animation, then a short vibe and the screen will dim to the auto-brightness setting. Then after a couple seconds I get random, repeatedly flashing pixels on the screen, then the phone will reboot. I can't get past this. It did this to me a few weeks ago on a previous weekly, but I was able to clear cache and dalvik which seemed to resolve the problem.

I've tried: clear cache and dalvik form TWRP - same result. Reinstall the latest build - same result. Install the previous weekly build - same result. ODIN back to stock, then full wipe and install the current build - for the short period of time I was stock it worked perfect, but I get the same result after I install MM. Finally I've installed another 6.0.1 ROM with the same result.

I can use TWRP just fine, and wiping cache and dalvik will go through the "Optomizing Apps" process, but then just before showing the lockscreen it will crash and reboot. I want to logcat the boot process but won't be able to until I get home tonight. Any suggestions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droidriven:
Just to be certain you aren't having the same issue the last guy had, have you flashed the firmware/modem combo from the CM12 thread I linked a few posts back?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] postal302:
Well I feel sheepish. I didn't think that applied because I wasn't having bootloops like I've experienced before, and the broken image patterns I was seeing was making me believe my graphics hardware was failing.

It turns out that was the fix and coincidentally I tried that before even seeing your post. Earlier today I flashed the firmware/radio combination zip I've been carrying on my sd since reading [MENTION=2385005]invisiblek[/MENTION] 's post. After that it worked but I wasn't convinced that solved it. Since my phone had been sitting on my desk powered off all day I assumed something had reset.

Thanks for your your help!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droidriven:
Given that you said you flashed back to stock via Odin and then flashed 6.0 ROM again then that means you would have needed the combo to flash the ROM because the stock flash would have overwritten those parts, thus requiring combo.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] postal302:
I didn't realize those weren't part of the ROM installation. Now I know!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Virus1x:
OK I got everything right including the bootloader and modem however any gapps I flash, Banks or Opengapps leads to bootloop any help?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droidriven:
Clean install? Wipe system and data before flashing?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Virus1x:
Yes to both.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droidriven:
What stock firmware were you on to begin with?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Virus1x:
Started with 4.1.2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droidriven:
Hmm, do you have the i535 or the S968C? Verizon or Straight Talk?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Virus1x:
Verizon, I can post the rom fine Its once gapps is installed it Bootloops.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bigbaluka:
Puzzling... Are you using TWRP? The latest version is working well for me (TWRP 3.0.2-0). How about firmware? This firmware is recommended for d2vzw running CM-13 based ROMs http://www.invisiblek.org/firmware/d2/d2vzw_MF1_firmware_NE1_modem.zip I'm assuming you have an I-535 with an unlocked bootloader. I've had trouble when flashing more than one zip at once in TWRP so I did them separately. I had a similar bootloop problem when I flashed one of the weekly builds from a month ago so this weeks build of Oct-M should be safe. I'd try wiping everything Dalvik/ART Cash, System, Data, Internal Storage, and Cash. Then Flash ROM and GApps separately. Perhaps one of the smaller OpenGApps packages to keep it simple. Be certain GApps is for ARM Platform & Android 6.0. Check md5s on all flashable ZIPs. Apologies if you've done all of this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AyUaxe:
Delta gapps has worked for me when others wouldn't. YMMV.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AyUaxe:
FFC fix in 6/19 cm build per [MENTION=2385005]invisiblek[/MENTION]. It was a selinux issue-i had it set to permissive for an audio mod; that's why it worked for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bigbaluka:
So does that mean next weeks Oct-M might have the fix? I'm not sure how Team OctOS updates the CM-13 code or when they do it. Sounds promising though. This ROM is super cool and super stable so it's almost paradoxical to have something like FFC not working. I suppose that's the nature of developing something this big.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bigbaluka:
FFC Fix Worked for Me!!!

[MENTION=3316305]dvschnk[/MENTION] Posted this on CM-13's d2vzw thread a couple days ago. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=67383319&postcount=677 It worked for me on my d2vzw running Oct-M Weekly 6-18. Tested in bright sunlight and everything. Perhaps a more permanent fix is in the near future. This fix only takes a minute in Terminal Emulator. Just run the command, then test FFC to allow a log file to be built, then restart & test again. It worked beautifully for me. Thanks [MENTION=3316305]dvschnk[/MENTION]!!! Awesome work. :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dvschnk:
Awesome. Glad it's working out. I think for most people, it's been working either straight up since 621 or those that set their selinux permissive themselves.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bigbaluka:
Indeed... I think I might have done it on accident while setting SELinux Permissions for TWRP Manager a few builds ago. I took like 20 pics with FFC one bright day with my sunroof open, but I'm not a coder so I didn't have a clue why my camera was working. I'm not 100% sure it happened the same day I was messing with SELinux but now I'm highly suspicious that the two events were related. I believe the fix will show up in a near future Oct-M build now that it's been merged in CM. Great troubleshooting on your part.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bigbaluka:
FFC is Finally Fixed WooHoo!!!

FFC Seems to be working perfectly on 06-25 build. Sweet!!!:good::good::good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lepa71:
Which opengapps will I need? Is there a space limitation? Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] canodroid15:
No space limitations, however I'd stick to below the stock package for performance reasons. The larger packages always made my device seem sluggish. Just my opinion. Tho if stock is what you want, go for it. I've always used nano or mini. Aroma is a great option too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] postal302:
I'm running into an odd issue. My home button is refusing to go to my home screen. I know it's not hardware because it will wake the phone and it works in TWRP, also I turned on the on screen navigation buttons and that home button wouldn't work properly either.

I'm currently running the 7-1 build, but when I restored to the previous week's build (6-25) the home button worked properly. I am running the correct firmware/radios this time.

I followed the directions in this thread (which posts instructions from another thread) to no avail. Any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ScottDB:
There was a post from one of the developers in the OctOS-grouper forum that stated that this issue will be fixed in the next weekly release.
