So far the 5/08 build is doing fantastic. I still have to cycle 2G to LTE to get it to stick, but that's a minor issue. 2 hours of consistent YouTube viewing and battery is only down to 61%. That weird pause/hiccup 5 seconds in is still happening with the official YouTube app, but I found an alternative app where that doesn't happen. I downloaded this YouTube app to get screen off playback(sometimes I like to "listen" to news while walking around) and while the app doesn't offer all the functionality of the official app, like thumbnail playback while browsing for other videos, it plays flawlessly with no hiccups. As a plus, you can listen to those 20 minute Ted Talks while vacuuming.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ScOULaris:
I've gotta hand it to you, nardholio. The stock kernel this time around is pretty damn fantastic. In the past I've always gotten better performance/battery life using custom kernels alongside CM10 and CM11, but the stock kernel runs like a dream on CM12.1. Battery life is pretty damn good and performance is smooth. My commendations to you and anyone else who has been contributing to the development of the d2 kernel for CM12.1.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jswclw:
I like the idea, except for the part where cm picks the profile automatically. If I don't get to choose the profile, then I prefer to stock with the standard, whatever I have it set to.

Using the 5/8 nightly, I encountered 3 successive auto-reboots. All three times, I was hanging up the phone using a BT headset, or the other party hung up, after the screen had gone to standby. The screen remained blank and I could not get the screen to come back on. After several tries using both the home button and the power button, the system simply reset itself. I had already noticed that the BT headset would only hang up the phone on 5/7 and 5/8 nightlies if the screen remained on. Unfortunately, I was not in a position to save logs when these reboots happened today.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xDark_:
I'm having choppy/laggy YouTube playback and choppy Bluetooth audio.

Also, since flashing CM12 5.1 from 5.0 by pandasa123, the battery has went from 4 hour SoT to 2 hours SoT. Clsam flashed 4/26, still having terrible battery life even with Ambient Display off.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] outlogic:
Using the 5/6 nightly. The camera bug presents, so I use Open Camera as suggested. The phone reboots frequently while charging from computer. Other than that works fine for me. Much faster than 4.4.2 (used quantum kernel mainly).
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] :
We're not quite there yet but we're trying :)

Ensure you are on nuplayer and not awesome player. You can check the settings in development options.

There are some camera improvements in 5/9 including a partial fix for reboots and a fix for slow flash on the built in camera app.

the 08/05 work good so far.. the only bug i noticed is rondom reboots when the phone is connected to pc via usb .. still decent battery life
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xDark_:
Yep, that worked but when I open videos in reddit is fun, it's still choppy. Haven't tested out the Bluetooth playback yet. Still bad battery life though :(
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ScOULaris:
Yeah. I'm on the 05/08 build and still getting the freezes in YouTube videos 8-10 seconds into every video. This occurs using either AwesomePlayer or NuPlayer, and it has been the case with all of the 12.1 builds thus far. I'm sure it'll be ironed out eventually.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SpiderNhan:
I'm using the 5/10 build although I've noticed this on older builds too starting with 5/5. When using speakerphone, the volume of the speaker is fixed and cannot be changed. The volume meter will still respond to changes via the rocker buttons or by swiping the on screen controls, but it doesn't affect the speaker volume.

Starting with 5/8 Maps will crash or freeze upon initial launch, but works fine afterward Gmail will sometimes crash when launched from the notification bar or from lock screen notifications.

Had one crash yesterday on the 5/9 build that required a hard reboot. I don't remember what I was doing before the crash, I think I was using Maps, but it happened after I turned on the screen and swiped to unlock the device and I was greeted with a black screen and complete unresponsiveness from any of the hardware buttons. I didn't get a log. Sorry.

5/10 has been chugging along nicely today with no LTE signal drops that I've noticed.

Calendar Provider stopped, disabling Google Calendar sync

At points throughout the day, CM 12.1 loses the ability to sync with Google calendar. According to the logs, Google Calendar Provider stops. When that happens, Google Calendar Storage also stops and Google Calendar force closes. Third-party calendars become blank - i.e., no events appear. This often happens shortly after midnight, but also happens during the day. Sometimes choosing a different data connection, e.g., WiFi vs. LTE, will correct the problem after a few minutes. Other times, only a reboot will fix calendar syncing. This has been ongoing ever since I upgraded from CM 11 to 12.1. I also had the problem when I tried another Android 5.0.x build some months ago. I was able to capture two logs - one shortly after Calendar Provider closed and the other after the calendar started syncing again on its own. Both are attached and seem to have the necessary entries to trace the underlying issue.

This issue poses major problems for business users who depend heavily on their calendars. Any and all help in resolving this issue is appreciated.

bluetooth

I'm on the 05/10 build and bluetooth seems to be very random. Once on for the first time, things connect quickly and work. After a disconnect, the reconnect is not always automatic, but also buggy. Two examples, my wrist band (bt 4 low power) connects via bluetooth, it won't sync unless I turn off bluetooth and turn it back on. With my bluetooth speaker, it works the first time after bluetooth is turned on, but then if you dc and reconnect, google music won't play through the bluetooth speaker.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] lullcat:
I, too, have been experiencing the same bluetooth connection/sync issues with my wrist band.

As far as I remember, I first noticed this problem around the 4/26 or 4/28 unofficial CM 12.1 build.

Snooze Alarm Still Crazy!

Running 6/30, Tested snooze 10 times at work throughout the day, was able to snooze 5 times after each alarm with no issue.

I set my alarm for the next morning and BAM!, the alarm rings at the set time but after second snooze, it wants to snooze until the next days alarm time!

Settings now are : never silence, snooze time 5 minutes.

Hey Nardholio, thanks for the hard work and sleepless nights I'm sure you put into this.

I really appreciate it, makes an older phone worth keeping around a while longer. No bug reports here, just a lil appreciation.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ScOULaris:
Seconded. This ROM has been fantastic.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] XaveT:
After flashing it quite a few times with more recent nightlies (and older, anything to make this hunk o' junk work), I was about to get the "post a logcat" route, but I recorded one, and looked at it. systemui is dying repeatedly, with some other events thrown in for variety. It's probably my device with Android 5.1.

At this point, thank you all for your help.

At the end of it all, I have "latest" stock (4.4.2) installed with NJ1 bootloader and modem, so I'm going to pretend that's all I need. I'll never be build targeting my apps for Lollipop (with this test device anyway), so stock should work great.

FWIW...same symptoms here. The computer used to see the phone, now it does not. I don't often make use of this feature, so I cannot say for sure when it stopped working. At this time, I'm pure stock CM 12.1, nightly from a couple days ago.

At some time I did run another kernel and had the option in TricksterMod to turn on FastCharge, and I did. Now, with the stock kernel, the option is not present in TricksterMod. Perhaps the setting has lingered, although the option is not present? Will take some testing to be sure, and I don't have time for it at the moment.

Well, I'll reiterate I never got 5.1 to work. I'm running 4.4.2.

I used what I found here:

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3-att/general/ucufne4-to-ucufnj1-update-t2941792

I used the rooted NE4 image from point 1 in OP. (Restore from TWRP 2.8.7.0). Worked fine.

The image wouldn't ever actually load(for me), so don't get discouraged there if it happens to you.

Then I used the update.zip from the 6(Or) in the OP.

I booted recovery (it gets converted back to stock during the restore) using android sideload functions (need the Android SDK, it's in ./platform-tools) to copy the update.zip to it. It then runs (takes like 5-8 min), then reboot. It then loaded in okay for me.

I hope it works for you!

I'm only having one real issue on the Koodo(Canadian) S3. I'm pretty sure mine is a different hardware variant though. TWRP will NOT detect any SD card on my phone, internal or external, have to use ol' CWM revovery.

Anyway, when I get a white system prompt, such as a root request in SuperSU, or an install request for a non-play store app, I can't trigger any touches on the screen. I tap everywhere, but the requests just time out. There was one app where, after spam-tapping for 20s maybe, it finally registered one, but all others have been no-go's. I can, however, scroll while the app install request is open. Obviously, SuperSU prompts are too small for scrolling. However, it seems strange that one kind of touch works and not another.

Has anyone encountered this before, or should I look into logcatting it for the official reports?

Hi guys -- I've been holding back on CM11 for quite a few months now, partially because I had some bad experiences with early CM12 builds. A few questions:

1) For AT&T I747, is there any reason to upgrade bootloader/modem from NE4 to NJ1 before flashing this? If so, can I even go back to CM11 after the upgrade?

2) Is it still necessary to wipe internal storage before moving between CM11 and CM12.1? This is the big one. I may continue waiting for reports of a near-flawless CM12.1 if it won't be possible for me to just swap Nandroid backups between the two versions on the fly without touching /sdcard.

3) Are there still issues with sending/receiving MMS while connected to WiFi?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sjamie:
1. NJ1 seems to provide a stronger signal.

2. Only wipe internal storage if you run into trouble. You should be okay.

3. You should not have any SMS/MMS problems on current builds.

Thanks. Bit the bullet and upgraded to 20150707 (clean flash, of course) without wiping internal storage or upgrading from NE4. So far, so good - a far cry from the CM12 nightlies circa Jan/Feb.

The one snag I hit was Google Search FCing whenever any type of voice command was needed (hitting microphone on search bar, attempting to use voice dictation on the keyboard, etc.). I had flashed the latest gapps recommended by CM, I believe 20150702. Upgrading the Google Search app to the latest version from APKMirror resolved this, FWIW.

For anyone else on the fence, I can confirm all of the following I was concerned about seem to work well so far:

- Consistent LTE

- MMS with WiFi connected

- Bluetooth audio in the car

- WiFi hotspot

Has anyone been able to get smooth playback on 720p or 1080p 60fps videos in any of the nightlies? Not sure if it has to do with the ROM/kernel or just our older hardware, but I figured I'd ask because I've seen somewhat diminished YouTube performance in all of these CM12.1 builds from the beginning.

I don't think it's out our hardware, though. I watch 60fps Source-quality Twitch streams regularly on my phone with no problem.

I'm running on stock everything with Nuplayer enabled.

PS - I've also noticed that my phone will randomly reboot occasionally whenever I'm in an area with no cell reception for more than 5 minutes or so.

I've been trying different builds over the last couple weeks and I have intermittent bluetooth connection issues

between my S3 and my Mitsubishi OEM handsfree. It pairs fine but doesn't connect, but sometimes it does!

I've tried another phone, Moto G 2014 running CM12.1 as well and the same issue, so it looks like it's Android L ...

Things also worked fine in stock 4.4.2 Samsung firmware on my S3.

After more testing it seems that if I manually hit connect multiple times, it will eventually connect,

so I've downloaded Bluetooth Auto Connect and I have more or less working workaround, I think.

Would a reconnect option in CM12 rom be an option, or even fixing this in the first place,

but if the issue relates to L then I guess we're waiting on Google?
