[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ghost Protocol:
Good Morning.

Now why did you tease us like that? :( You got us all excited without the link to the ROM you speak of. :crying: I am excited and would like to TEST it, if possible, too. :fingers-crossed:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
Hey choadtron11, did you use that new-ish 4.3 OTA "Downgrade" procedure found int he Android Development thread to unlock and root your device?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Stealth111:
UnOfficial CM13 Builds

For anyone interested in some Marshmallow Lovin for your D2VZW S3, come see my thread here: Marshmallow

Enjoy!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] choadtron11:
I don't think so. I used the original unlock and root first developed before all the OTA crap. I have been rooted and unlocked since 2012 when the phone first came out. Never took any of the ota stuff that screwed lots of people over.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AyUaxe:
Anyone know what's up with the 11/17 "snapshot-yog..." Build ref'd on the change log list? 11/14 is going along nicely, except for bad gps-maps works, but navigation doesn't update position on the map. Switching on force hardware acceleration helped a little, but not a complete fix.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] phonetool:
I recently updated maps, but then the phone complained that I had to update Play Services as well in order for maps to work. GPS was updated a week ago or so. See if you have all of the compatible stuff.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AyUaxe:
Thanks, PT. I did all the updates and that's when the play svcs crashes hit like rounds from an m2. http://www.army.mil/mobile/article/?p=150794

Un-fn-relenting. Latest reviews on play store show it's endemic. Ever since the play integration, it's been nothing but trouble.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] toosurreal01:
I'm running the 11/17 snapshot build fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
Well, then I see no reason not to flash an older GApps package that came before the integration. I ain't havin' no problems with mine and I haven't flashed in GApps since before.

The only one's I have around are the one's from 7./17 in the "d2vzw ROM Extras" link in the OP. I just did some housecleaning and dumped some GApps packages from Open GApps that I had used. (I just realized there's another pocket or 3 I ain't looked into yet .... I'll look in that pocket and post something in that folder if I find it.) I might be really wrongheaded but what could it hurt?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] phonetool:
I'm on the latest nightly and all apps updated... No problems here.

Dunno what to say.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AyUaxe:
Have you changed any permissions for play services? In thinking of allowing everything to see what happens. Alternatively, thinking about the no-gapps options I've seen mentioned from time to time. Thanks very much, PT, for responding.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Shakes The AssClown:
Anyone noticing when you delete a thread in the messaging app, it doesn't disappear until you exit and restart the app?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XdrummerXboy:
I haven't noticed that, but I haven't used it in a while. What really bugged me was a lot of threads needed a special trick to be marked as read, it wouldn't mark it automatically.

I switched to Textra, and I don't think I'm looking back any time soon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] phonetool:
No permission changes. I let things run as they like.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AyUaxe:
Updated to 11/17 snapshot which seems very smooth, except for a couple of random reboots. Again tried accepting the play services update, but tsunami of crashes followed. Dis the uninstall/roll back to factory original and everything seems to work OK. Shut off notifications for play services, maps, play store to stop continuing notices demanding the unnecessary update. Not the prettiest, but works. Fingers crossed for 13 before too long.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] brandonb0013:
When I open GPS test it immediately shows 20+ sats in view and within seconds has 10+ in use. But it takes roughly 20 seconds to get a 3d fix and roughly another 15 to get a fix good enough for driving, ie 20-30 ft accuracy. What could make it take so long to actually get a fix when it says there are 10+ in use? Thanks everyone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dltccf:
I'm on the 11/20 nightly and constantly getting 'Unfortunately Clock has stopped' It happens at random times and also every time I try to open clock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
I had this on a previous build. The only solution for me was to restore an older version of the clock from Titanium Backup.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] :
Try formatting system and then flashing a nightly gapps package from opengapps
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] vforaci:
As per the original post, any international users need to flash the d2gsm_rilblobs zip file. My question is will the phone work after the flash when you return to the Verizon network or do I need to do something?

Reason I ask is that I was in Mexico last week and I was getting no data while on gsm or edge networks.n If I had flashed would my phone worked when I returned to the US?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] choadtron11:
Anyone else having call volume issues on nightly 11.12.15? Other wise it has been a solid version.

Talking on the phone, my volume button adjusts the call volume slider but it has no effect on the volume of sound out of the ear piece.

I have tried adjusting a bunch of the different volume sliders all to no effect. Volume up/down works well for every thing else accept calls.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
No, but all the zip does is copy files over your Verizon blobs of /system/lib/libril.so and libsec-ril.so. I just extracted the zip file and examined the contents and the updater-script is as simple as it gets.

So, you could back up those 2 files in the same directory with .bak or .orig or .vzw or something added to the end before flashing and manually undo it when you return. Or, you could easily create a zip file by just taking the zip and copying your original files into that directory in the zip without even extracting it! BAM, an undo-gsm flash zip.

In fact, I couldn't resist and I just created one and pushed it up to the Google Drive link - BAM!:silly:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] vforaci:
I did look at the zip script prior to my original post. My question was more geared if I needed to so anything upon my return. In the past CM ROMS on my phone have worked in the US and MX without doing anything. This past week I had no data (or MMS) on my phone.

I did create a zip as you suggested although I doubt I'll have the same phone the next time I visit but you never know.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
Interesting ....

EDIT [MENTION=4941458]vforaci[/MENTION], I flashed the gsm riblobs zip before my earlier post and did not have access to LTE. Flashed my undo file and back to normal, so I guess with CM12, but I ain't smart enough to know ...

EDIT Again: I think that they have been incorporated in some ROMs in the past and I thought I read they were in CM now, but must not be. Again, ain't got the neural connections to produce an educated opinion.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AyUaxe:
I did this, used open gapps through aroma. Same incessant play services crashes. Also lost LTE. Tried rolling back, as worked before, but GPS actually uninstalled. Reinstalled as apk, but crashes returned. Got mad. Did factory reset and restored backup from last month, so I'm on the 10/14 build and gps 8.1.15(......230), which I think came from tk. I'm going to update everything else from here, be sure it's Smooth, backup, then try some alternatives and post results. Thanks very much for your help. Peace and happy Thanksgiving!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AyUaxe:
Now that the L-tryptophan torpor has lifted a little, I can update the previous apocalyptic post. I did, in fact, wind up doing a factory reset, after backing up a smooth-running install of CM12.1 10/14 and gapps from sometime in the summer. I'd been thinking that since open gapps' aroma installer and TK's installer didn't seem to be able to give me working play services, maybe they were somehow not properly detecting the device's dpi. Sure enough, the build prop line, "ro.sf.lcd_density" value=320 wasn't present. Added that, factory reset, wiped system, and flashed 11/17 "snapshot" rom with TK gapps micro. I was routinely restoring data only from my recent backups, to avoid having to reinstall all apps and stuff OTA. This install was better, but still got repeated play services crashes.

Downloaded 11/26 rom, factory reset, wipe system, flashed 11/26 rom with delta gapps (discovered these should be more up to date; TK went on hiatus around September). Didn't restore anything from backup. All now works extremely well. So don't know how, but there must have been something lurking in my accumulated, old data that gave play services heartburn. Still have the backups, so maybe I'll figure it out over the next holiday. In any event, thanks to all here for support and especially to [MENTION=2044079]Nardholio[/MENTION] for being the excellent maintainer for our wizened, yet still great device.

Also, maybe check out delta gapps http://xdaforums.com/android/software/app-minimal-gapps-gapps-lp-20150107-1-t2997368
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
Awesome! Seems like you chased away the gremlins. It's hard to know where they were hiding. I second your intention to figure it out - maybe next Thanksgiving?

12/02 is doing great! I also second your thanks to [MENTION=2044079]Nardholio[/MENTION]: All glory goes to Nardholio - I mean Hypnotoad!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AyUaxe:
You set a high bar for [MENTION=2044079]Nardholio[/MENTION] (PBUH), relating him to hypnotoad. I trust you know there is an app and live wall paper. The first version of the app was the first nonstock app I installed on my a855. Made it through gingerbread, before the digitizer went south. Good times! D2 looks to rival the lil tank droid.

O F C O U R S E. A L L G L O R Y T O .... (well, you know who)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AyUaxe:
Having two peculiar issues on 12/04. First, I can't set an mp3 ringtone, notification or alarm. Every time I try, I get "wrong file type, please try again." I use esfile explorer. It doesn't matter if I go through settings/sound etc. or browse with the file explorer and select, etc. Always the same error msg.

Second, bluetooth won't connect to any devices. This is all since my wrastlin' match with gapps and update to 12/04.

Anyone with any ideas on how to fix these, would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Update: searched a good bit on the ring g tone issue, but none of the proposed fixes work. Cleared all caches, rebooted, removed a couple of stray .nomedia files, cleared caches and rebooted. Updated the ROM--now 12/09. Still same error: wrong file type... Wouldn't be a big deal, but it's not just an unwanted ringtone, it's no ringtone. Only way to know about a call is visual. Aaaaarrrrrrrgggggghhhhhh!

Just flashed latest delta gapps base, wiped caches, reboot, still getting wrong file type error for mp3 and ogg ringtone/notification files. I mean, dafuq!?!

DaFuq, indeed! Flashed 12/10 nightly (anyone know what's up with the commits/change log page? acts like D2vzw isn't supported) after all the other horrors noted above and after a couple of reboots and uninstalling es file manager, it finally allowed me to select my old ringtone. However, wouldn't ring and/or vibrate for a call. Turns out it was the priority notification thing--no idea how that got effed up, but it was the little white misery/mystery star in the notification bar that got me searching and that was it. If anyone else here is as ignorant as I was, use the volume rocker to bring up the slider, underneath which are the global priority notification selections. Be warned, if you hit "none" even alarms probably won't sound. I so love showing my ignorance and impatience here--at least on the interwebtubes you can't make fun of how I look, too. At least not with any credibility. All hail HypnoToad! Pizza for I. C. Wiener!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jdiamond7:
Looks like the official CM13 Nightly is now available!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] stevet86:
That's what I flashed the other night and it is working well. Will there be another forum set up or should I continue on this one?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Shakes The AssClown:
I checked for newer nightlies using the updater. I didn't take notice it was CM13...it hosed my phone. Phone fc, etc. I just assumed it was a newer 12.1.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] charliepop:
I just updated to it. Had a lot of problems, but then I clean flashed it and its working great right now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] phonetool:
I think I will wait a couple weeks and then clean flash 13.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AyUaxe:
Well that explains the msg on the commits page, but on the nightly download page linked in op, looks like 12.1 nightlies continue to come out. 12/10 build is great. Seems better battery and fastest boot, maybe ever. Would love to hear [MENTION=2044079]Nardholio[/MENTION]'s views about dev for 12.x and 13.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
Uhhh I think you were the last one! :p I think you were under the influence of Hypnotoad. Just don't lean back and fall into that .... NOOOO!!!

On another note, I've been using an unofficial cm13 by [MENTION=2385005]invisiblek[/MENTION]. Gonna flash this new one right over it! Got Xposed (sdk23) and Gravity Box working on it, too, though not with any of the GB versions offered through the installer. It was an initial beta and works good! Other's will hose yer phone bad.

I had heard someone say they had dirty flashed MM over a 12.1 ROM once, but there are some changes in some of the databases that will bork your phone if you don't clear them with a "Nuke-It.zip" script invisiblek wrote. Look in the other forum "Android Development" for that thread and file if you have the guts. I did spend a few hours the last couple of days trying to shove a different Marshmallow ROM over the latest 12.1 without success. Guess I had to admit defeat on that one. (Wait, there are still a couple more things I didn't try ....)

Once those cm13 builds get up and running, and most people move to it, it would probably make sense to create a new thread.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jdiamond7:
Clean flashed earlier today and seems to be running great. Looks like Invisiblek has created a new thread.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XdrummerXboy:
Someone want to link the new thread in the OP?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
Yep. Really effing awesome! My phone's gonna last - and like I said over there, it's got to have 9 lives. Way more considering how many times I've dropped it and I don't use a case! But, I do still have the original ZAGG screen protector I put on there almost 3 years ago.

This thread will probably stay in use, though, for awhile at least. It will take awhile for people to feel comfortable with MM as a daily driver. Still a little buggy but everything works, except selfies. Probably will be some who never think of upgrading, or, ...? Next question will be whether [MENTION=2044079]Nardholio[/MENTION] puts out anymore builds!

We've gotta give it up to [MENTION=2044079]Nardholio[/MENTION] for doing this for us! Bloody awesome! :good::good::good:

Three cheers for Nardholio!

i just realized the smart lock works with CM12.1 :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dvschnk:
does anyone have a mirror to the last cm12.1 release (12/10)? The link to it on the CM repository is dead since CM13, is now official. When I try to click the link for the 12/10 release, all I get is a "404" error.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XdrummerXboy:
I believe I can put it on my drive for you, hang on...

Edit:

Link deleted

Let me know when you've downloaded it so I can remove it from drive
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dvschnk:
Thanks XdrummerXboy, I just downloaded it, so you can free up your drive now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
I don't think this is a permanent development. Probably something happening on the back end that will get sorted out. I've never seen them make builds so recent obsolete. Also, and still have the links up. MM is definitely still a work in progress.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dvschnk:
I was quite surprised too, and that's why I had to post a general request for the last cm12.1 build. I'm very grateful that XdrummerXboy hooked me up with the download off his personal google drive. I know a ton of progress has been made on CM13 and I'm excited about it, but the remaining work left to be done makes it not a daily driver for me. Has Invisiblek always been the maintainer for the d2vzw CM builds? I know Nardholio was generating the builds (so the rest of the us didn't have to) for CM 12.1....maybe something happened on the back end with this change.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
Nardholio was doing it on 12, as you noted. I'd be very surprised for this to happen just like that. Never the less, they are still not available. I stopped keeping any because I thought that they were doing that for me. I have a couple of other places to look to see if I have any around - do have 11/12. Also, I have nandroids for a few builds back. I always save a couple back just in case.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
Ha! Thanks [MENTION=4652020]XdrummerXboy[/MENTION] for leaving that file up there. The link was in dvschnk's quote of your post!:D I dloaded it for myself, gonna update my last 12.1 nandroid to that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NoCrAppleHere:
Ditto from me. My G4-POS died on me already and needed my old GS3 to hold me over until my fru came via FedEx. Needed the last 12.1 and ty [MENTION=4652020]XdrummerXboy[/MENTION] for leaving the zip on your Google drive. Happy Holiday's all!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
Well well. Slumming, eh?:p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NoCrAppleHere:
Slumming is being polite. I regret ever going with the G4, LG never EVER again. Wasted the upgrade that I held onto so dear for yrs and yrs bc nothing would beat my GS3. I thought LG had a good thing but I went against rule #1, which is DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE! Lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
LOL! Okay, in the spirit of the season, forgiveness is granted and ridicule withdrawn. :angel:

It does seem the nightly builds of LP are extinguished, and the builds that do exist are, at least for the moment, unavailable. As soon as I get a little more time I'll do some snooping around to see what happened.

It could be like what happened with AICP, where someone managing the online database for the builds accidentally deleted the listing file and all nightly builds for all devices going back 10 months were gone in an instant! (Technically, they were all still there but the links were erased. (What, no backup?) Funny story: It so happened that I had a Firefox webpage with all of the links still loaded, and I was perhaps the only person outside the dev and support team that could access all of the builds! I left that page intact for a couple of weeks - but could find no use for it.) At least they announced it on their G+ page as soon as it happened - sort of had to with the feeding frenzy that G+ is.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
Updated OP

Howdy All!

I have updated the OP to reflect the current unfortunate state of affairs regarding the availability of 12.1 builds. N'existe pas! But, I have posted 12/10 in the "d2vzw ROM Extras" folder that [MENTION=4652020]XdrummerXboy[/MENTION] so graciously provided, and attributed it to him - YOUR FAMOUS! (I flashed it over 12/4 and it's giving me fits, but I found these same problems flashing a different ROM, so I'm not sure if it's my phone that loves to torture me sometimes ;) )

So, until further notice, that's all we got, plus anything anybody else might have stashed somewhere. I do have a couple but they're from about 5 weeks ago. I still may find something else somewhere when I get time to look in all of my pockets. EDIT: But if you do find something useful, please share it and I can put it in that link in the OP.

In the mean time: Happy Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Christmas, Vesak, Diwali, Carnival, Yule or whatever gets your jollies on! :silly:

Don't Take That Update!

Aw heck! People are getting tricked into loading the new official CM13 nightlies Marshmallow builds by CMUpdater and it's wreaking havok on many a phone. Go to the thread by [MENTION=2385005]invisiblek[/MENTION] in this same forum and check things out first. Otherwise, you might be in for some unfortunate surprises!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] herbby:
Wait a minute.... I found saved on my drive are the the 12-4, 12-14, 12-15 and the 12-21 nightlies. I don't have a server so anybody that needs them let me know a quick way for you to get these. I have ever stored and shared a zip file to and from Dropbox, but maybe that will work. If push comes to shove I can possibly upload it to a torrent provider site. Happy Holidays everybody.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
I've got 12/4, donated by someone else. These others, are you sure they're cm12.1 and not cm13? I didn't see any builds after 12/10 come out, though I wasn't watching carefully at that time.

By the way, you can get your free 15GB Google Drive storage just for having a Google sign in. Bam! You can access it from your phone or pc. On the PC, you don't even need to install the local app, just select "New" on the website and you can upload anything.

Here is a link that anyone can upload builds to, as long as they're 12.1 and after 11/15 or so. I have 12/4 and 12/10 already. (No. Thank you for your concern. I'm not gonna worry about posting that here. Won't leave it up forever and I'll check the sha1 on each file.)

NOTE: It's a little awkward the way Dropbox sets this up. I can't open it up to view with the link I'm providing to upload, without upgrading, at least that I can figure out. So, here is a link just to view. Look and see if what you have is already in there. If not, go to the second link and then you can upload. Grazie!
