how i can active root permissions on CM file manager. I was activated in developer settings ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mohajer_dindar:
Hi bax can I flash this rom on galaxy sIII neo(I9300I)?????
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Scorpionea:
No ,unless u want to brick your phone :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Flo0fy:
Can someone give me a working gapps ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Andromeda 90:
gapps can be downloaded from here.

If you have problems with your keyboard, you can replace it with that of google if you do not want it to look at the pitcher, you can turn it into a system application
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Flo0fy:
Yeah I already tried those but whenever I finish the flash whole android is crashing and I have to reflash the rom. Gapps causes everything to crash.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Andromeda 90:
You are downloading the right gapps.

If so , flashes again doing a clean install , you can format the internal memory by the recovery Wipe (format ) and writing (yes) should work now
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Scorpionea:
with what recovery u flashing rom and gapps? use latest twrp then u will have less issues

i use this TWRP recovery and dont have any problems

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Flo0fy:
Nope :( same thing happens. BTW I had to dirty flash over a clean CM 12.1 because otherwise I run into Samsung logo bootloop.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Romflasher69:
Well if you still want to clean flash the rom, you can follow these steps:

1- Make a nandroid backup of whichever version of CM you had previously installed

2-Do a full wipe, dalvik, cache,system, data.

3-flash the ROM without any Gapps

4- Reboot your phone

5-after successfully rebooting your phone, fill up the CM setup wizard.

6- Reboot your phone into recovery and flash open gapps (nano)

7-after you had successfully flashed the gapps, go to mount and check system then go to advance and tap on "file manager"

8-go to /system/app-priv and select SetupWizard and delete it (this stops the "setupwizard has stopped" pop-up) then reboot

9-Once you've rebooted your phone, It'll give you the "aosp keyboard has stopped" pop-up but you can bypass it by disabling it!

YOU MUST HAVE HAD TWRP 2.8.7.0 INSTALLED BEFORE DOING THIS!!! that's how it worked for me.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Flo0fy:
Thanks for the advice but the problem is I'm stuck at step 5 it doesn't boot successfully I have to dirty flash over 12.1, I think that's why I have problems with gapps but there is no other way for me to boot in to CM 13
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Romflasher69:
Everyone is having the same gapps problems even if the had clean flashed the rom. The problem is that CM is not optimizing apps well. that's what forkbomb replied me with
[Galaxy S III Android Development] knuckles1978:
my opinion of this ROM so far.

For anyone getting setup wizard crashes, I got the same thing and cured it by wiping /data only then rebooting.

The only problem that I have that is a problem (for me personally at least) is the fact that xbmc (kodi) is unstable and crashes all the time. This is maybe the app itself needing an update and possibly not the roms fault. For the meantime I can use showbox (or torrent if required)... Ahh, the joys of not being limited to what you want to do when you're using an iPhone.

Don't mean to start a flame war, but let's face it, they suck. They're not completely rubbish. To people who are really computer illiterate like yer grandma, then they're probably an alright choice, even though you can get better specced android phones for like 1/3rd the same price as an iPhone. But for anyone who has a bit of a clue as to what they're doing then there's only one choice of mobile OS. Windows phone would be what I used if android didn't exist. I couldn't deal with no torrenting, dodgy 3rd party keyboards, no nfc that you can play with programming tags yourself ( I cloned my mates entry key for his house. Now I can open his door with my phone) So I'm not totally dissing Apple, I think there a simple ( if ridiculously overpriced) solution for people who aren't confident in working with computers. (The kind of people who wouldn't have a clue what a file system or file manager does). And don't even get me started on iTunes. Please don't use these comments for flame war. I've just admired that they aren't total rubbish, and they're actually better suited for some people. Anyways, this had got off topic. Had a few vodkas and beers :)

However, for an alpha build, this ROM is totally amazing. It runs ultra fast and smooth, and I'm loving the granular app permissions, and Google Now On Tap is a totally amazing new feature. When I've been checking out websites with lists of new films etc, I can just use now on tap to get instant imdb review scores and click a YouTube link to watch the trailer.

Or, someone sends you an email asking if you want to go to x restaurant at such and such a time. Got the now on tap key and you get instant reviews and links for the place, along with directions and it asking you if you'd like to set up an appointment time in your calendar without needing to physically go to xbmc for the review, and then into your calendar app to set the reminder. It's a thing of the future. Seriously ****ing cool...

Devs of this ROM are doing a fantastic job so far, your efforts are greatly appreciated. I'm totally amazed at the speeds that this old s3 is running with it installed. Superb work guys/and or girls...

I totally love now on tap though, and our will only get better, even though it is really good right now. :)

Peace all :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Romflasher69:
Did you flash it over CM 12.1?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] knuckles1978:
Forgot to mention, I think...

I did a clean flash though.

Wipe both caches.

Wipe System

Wripe Data.

Then I had to wipe Data again after I installed Gapps because it booted with the message that you couldn't get rid of. "setup manager " continually force closing. Wipe Data cured it.

Fixed the keyboard issue by disabling keyboard from settings> and then manually installing Google keyboard apk from a website with the initials AZ. (By using voice control to search for it seeing as I had no keyboard)

Daily driver for me. Slicker and another than any lollipop (or any other version of android) ROM.

All working super sick now. No way I'll be going back to lollipop. Big thanks to the devs for bringing our old S3 the latest and greatest. The s3 seems to run way better than lollipop, KitKat, or anything else. Looks like there's been a lot of work done on making it able for lesser devices to run. Awesome devs, your work is well appreciated. Beers will be sent once I'm paid. Please point me to your donate link.

Anyone know if cm12 themes will work with it? There are a couple of new options in the settings menu so I'm not sure if they will. I'll probably just end up trying to see. Hope so..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] FaserF:
Google Camera is crashing

And how to open Google now in tap?

The Rest is working awesome and for me ready for daily usage. Awesome work! :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] tokict:
For google now on tap, use (at least) open gaaps mini package.

Activate "google now on tap" on google search apps, then you can use it by long pressing menu button (the hardware button on the left side).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] :
There are cm13 themes. One I just found is freaking awesome:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cm.theme.transparentblack&hl=en_GB
[Galaxy S III Android Development] arifnasirshaikh:
Try this theme.. Designed for Amoled

[Galaxy S III Android Development] knuckles1978:
I like my dark themes. So these are specifically cm13? No 12.1 themes will work?

Thanks for the replies, both of you :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Romflasher69:
I think I've found another bug; when you turn off the device and plug in the charger, the battery status thingy takes long to show up and it doesn't display battery percentage.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] forkbomb444:
Here's another build! The "optimising apps" bug has been fixed.

I merged the screen recording/mirroring fix, but I'm not sure if it works fully - there might be some other frameworks things I have to work out. I don't have a Chromecast, so I can't test screen mirroring..

Build 4 - 2015-12-06
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Romflasher69:
Totally loving these nightly updates!! Keep up the awesome work you've done. :)

Edit: I dirty flashed build 4 over 3 and the "optimising apps" bug is still there :( FYI, I rebooted the phone like 6 times or so but the bug was still there.

Will try clean flashing tomorrow but still nice work!!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sourabh44:
Will surely appreciate your work with donation. These builds are like super fast!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] srv.abhishek:
On the latest build, did anyone face issues connecting the phone as USB storage to laptop
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Romflasher69:
So apparently the only way to move apps onto sd card is by formatting the sd card so that it'll only work on your phone and if you take it out and put it in another phone it won't work , am I wrong? Also has anyone managed to install supersu? If so, tell me how and which version you used, please. ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] srv.abhishek:
i had formatted the SD card but the problem is that on my laptop while I do see my phone connected as an external device, but when I click on it, there is no SDCard or extcard inside to access...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Akatoikitos:
Has anyone tested in build 4,incoming and outgoing calls are working correctly??

Working, but phone process restarts if other caller hangs up first. After that working again.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Akatoikitos:
You mean that you have to reboot so you can have working calls again??

Or its just the process restarting itself?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
So how many people have issues booting?

Some can boot even with a clean flash (like me), some can boot only after dirty flashing over CM12.1 and some can't boot at all (not sure if the last issue needs to be mentioned. I'm assuming it can be fixed by dirty flashing over CM12.1)

Also um [MENTION=5405215]forkbomb444[/MENTION], if it's not too much, could you include Boeffla sound control in the next build? Or let me know if the kernel source on your github is the right one to use, I'll compile it myself if it is :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Renegade1504:
Only the process restarts.

Sent from GT-I9300 running CM13
[Galaxy S III Android Development] forkbomb444:
The kernel source is the CyanogenMod source code with this patch.

I won't do anything non-CM but you're more than welcome to :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] The_Voice_70:

Same here and AOSP keyboard fails when I flash GAPPS any version........
[Galaxy S III Android Development] pelgabri:
I unmounted SD card before reboot. Using aptoide I installed google keyboard and now work, so, you should to have aptoide.apk in tour phone.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] tokict:
For AOSP keybord FC's. Just delete this file system/lib/libjni_latinimegoogle.so

Then... No longer keyboard FC again.

I did it and work, delete it from TWRP file manager. (Dont forget to mount system first before deleting file).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Zen3515:
Does anyone has the same problem like me?

CAN'T INSTALL FACEBOOK APP FROM PLAY STORE ?? - Installation takes forever to finish.

Google Camera app won't work - crash on open.

I guess this happen because android 6.0 not really support on GS3.

Sorry for spamming this but, has anyone managed to install supersu?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] 4rch0:
Go to Developers-Tools and enable root for apps and Adb
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Romflasher69:
I already did that but since the "normal" root is weak, I can't install some apps that require more than just the "normal" root. Like lucky patcher for example.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] FaserF:

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Romflasher69:
Well I actually have flashed the latest super su beta and it's working fine but since the ROM is currently having issues with ART, lucky patcher can't patch Poweramp so I guess no Poweramp for me ATM.

Keyboard doesn't work so you need to get a custom keyboard apk to use other than that it's fine with minor choppiness
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sunny1234590:
Now, I have some questions to ask before I flash this ROM!

1. Clean flash works?

2. Which TWRP version to use?

3. Calling works?

4. Optimising app is fixed?

5. Applications like Messenger works?

6. Battery life and Smoothness?

7. Gaming and other such things is Okay?

Sorry, I have so much to ask! Will be very grateful if some one helps me.

[MENTION=5405215]forkbomb444[/MENTION] one question to you! Why don't you use SeLinux as Enforcing? Is it because of cbd errors or what?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] :
Sorry but do you mean it real? God damned. Read the thread! There are not so many pages! Nearly all your questions are answered!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
One more thing, I tend to see a lot of visual artifacts. (Squared instead of curves and stuff).

So once you're done with whatever you've prioritized, could you possibly look into Boeffla's source? In 3.0 alpha6, he committed this source drop from the Note 2 KK source and it worked wonders against those mentioned artifacts.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] fir1996:
Guys I get endless Google play service unfortunately stopped message I have search a lot for this problem but haven't find any .:mad:

Any help.:confused:

Note : I have dirty flash cm13 over cm12.1 this is the only way for me to get it booted.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Scorpionea:
1.its works for me but dont works for others 50:50 chance

2.use latest TWRP avaiable

3.calling works (still a bit buggy but it works)

4.No not yet

5.they work but most features inside app dont,rom si still way in alpha stage so app like that will not run properly

6.lol battery life is always different from member to member,and its smoothier then lp and multitasking is also way better IMO

7.Didint try much games except Temple Run 2 and sound is distorted,same thing on cm12.1 with some games
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ZjemCiKolege:

[Galaxy S III Android Development] hamza touati:

Disable Google location services there are two of them .

[Galaxy S III Android Development] gabimx:
A Re-cap so far with this ROM (build 4, alpha)

well, few things!

first of all-THANKS. i know for a fact that building this is hard. so cheers M8!

for every one else that tries to install it for the first time-My recap on this ROM so far.(ALPHA build 4).

1. download an .apk for a different keyboard-like Google keyboard. you can get this if you install the 'stock gapps'.

2. yes, root is not ON by default-just activate your 'developers tools' and then activate your root for "gapps and ADB".

3. Its an alpha build, so FC is very expected-but so far i had NONE. (eccept ofcours the keyboard until i replaced it).

4. Battery drain is FAST. and we all know our old good S3 is no good on this issue since LP came out, the same here.

5. call works(when you finish a call, you will get 'phone process stoped'-its fine) and allso DATA.

6.Wi-Fi works fine.

7.camera works ok. kindda fast too.

8.when you return to the app drawer-it will give you a fuzzy screen for like two seconds.

The overall feeling is a bit slow and rusty on the edges-but hey its an ALPHA-and you can acctualy use it for every thing.

right its not gonna work out as a daily driver-but its an awesome start.

ill update more when the next builds will come.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] jamesvinz19:

[Galaxy S III Android Development] arminbih:

i tried flashing the newest twrp, but it stays on 2.8.7.0 ....

I tried flashing the 2.8.7.3 with TWRP-App and with twrp recovery itself (which works since a few patches, or at least SHOULD...)

Someone got a idea?

I already tried flashing 2.8.7.1 then 2.8.7.2 and then 2.8.7.3. I did reboots between those to get sure. Still 2.8.7.0...

As this device doesnt got fastboot, I cant even fastboot flash recovery TWRP... this is annoying me so much, i dont want a unfunctional device...

someone help me please, or tell me if it works with 2.8.7.0 too ?

Don't remember why, but despite flashing v2.8.7.3, it will show v2.8.7.0 but you are ok.

Hi,

I'm working with this ROM for 24 hours now.

Overall this is great ROM.

2 major issues (for me)

1. In some cases after phone call ended need to restart in

order to get SIM working and call

2. Battery drain too fast. In the middle of the day no battery

at all. I thought DOZE is working :(

In any case thank you.

Bug report Snapchat fc

=== what you did ===

opened Snapchat, checked the permissions in the settings before but nothing changed

=== what happened (i.e. the bug) ===

it shows the main window wich camera stays black, window is not movable then a force close without the notification, signing in worked

=== what you expected to happen (how it worked on CM 12.1) ===

that snapchat opened normally cause most other apps did

=== link to logcat ===

http://pastebin.com/yUbWPJgq

I think it starts at line 1623

didn't know what the necessary part is, so i pasted a way longer log so you can better understand what was going on :)

a fix would be nice if you don't consider that the problem is on snapchats side. It may also occur to other apps but I haven't testes all common apps yet if I find another one I'll also paste it, thanks for your effort and good luck :D
