SD Card R/W okay?

Hi Guys

I gave CM 13 a shot a couple months ago on my rooted, unlocked S3 d2vzw and the SD card wouldn't behave properly such as I'd take a picture with the camera and there'd be no thumbnail in the Gallery and no actual picture saved to the SD card.

So I'm curious, is Nougat going to have the same problem? I have all the faith in the world in [MENTION=2385005]invisiblek[/MENTION] and know this was an issue in the upstream code, just curious if I can get prepared for giving CM 14 a go or not.

Thanks for any insights!

N seemed to handle ext SD better than M. Select to have it treated as portable storage in setup, then apps need permission to access. Basically same as M, just seemed smoother and didn't assign a weird numeric name to the ext-sd, like M did. No problem with onboard sound, an issue that had developed for me with recent M builds (though apparently only me). Despite non functional camera, 14's premiere is pretty awesome!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mamarcac:
Thanks for the reply. I've tried CM 10, 11, 12, 13 and ended up going back to CleanROM 8.2 (Jelly Bean 4.3). I can't seem to match the stability, battery life, true unbridled access to the phone/SD card, and consistent camera performance from any of those builds that CleanROM has. Even if the interface is long in the tooth (TouchWiz) and it doesn't really have modern emoji support, the pros still outweigh the cons for me personally.

Looking forward to seeing [MENTION=2385005]invisiblek[/MENTION] work on CM 14 and I'll give it a go at some point I'm sure. Will keep an eye on this thread! :o
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
Yeah baby! 3.7 years and counting! No case for the last year, the same ZAGG screen protector that was put on it the day I bought it, dropped a million times (including a couple of pretty bad ones this week!) and I don't see any reason to dump it yet.

Bring on the Nougat! (What the hell is "Nougat" anyway? Lame name if you ask me, though I don't remember anyone doing so ;) )

I was hoping for Necco and Neco Case providing musical accompaniment.

Good to see you're still with us MC! Get that geriatric D2 a case! The elago perforated leather-look one I've had most of lil D2's life has most of the texture worn off and chips in corners, but still protects & looks decent. Small bucks from amazon.

Link to 8/14 cm13 build-no warranty

https://mega.nz/#!BtgWDJYC

Uploaded on a solid WiFi connection, but nonetheless, can't warrant it will be errorless, so backup your current or last known good build before trying this. 8/14 continues to be my go-to build when anything doesn't work on a newer flash. That said, I think GPS is as broken as ever, but that seems to be primarily a hardware problem.

I'm still having onboard audio fail with newer cm13 builds (I have BT audio only on multiple September and 10/01 builds). Cm14 had audio, but I didn't have time to fool with it much. Hopefully, camera will work soon, so I can be comfortable switching to 14 for good.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] J-Lindo:
Wow, is it that stable already, that all you'd need is the camera working and you'd use it as a DD?

I'm still holding out for a snapshot for CM13, but the thought of a stable-enough CM14 is tempting.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gcounts:
No. It doesn't recognize the sim yet. Some problem with RIL. I've looked around, and found that the cm14 ROM for the i9300 has the same problem. I'm sure its just a matter of time. Other than that, its smooth and fast. But this is an early release and still has parts missing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] canodroid15:
I agree, I'm actually running on it on my old d2vzw test phone & its surprisingly smooth & fast.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gcounts:
Same here... I pulled my old d2vzw out of a drawer and have been using it from time to time while testing roms on my note4. I love this old phone! I can't believe it still feels so quick and responsive. I can't wait for the RIL issues in cm14 to be resolved.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AyUaxe:
I've been running 14 for a few days and it's stable and quick, though with some issues. BT doesn't seem to turn on or isn't working at all. Camera starts, but immediately gives "can't connect to camera" error. Can't find setting to make long press back button kill foreground app. WiFi works fine. GPS and compass are trashed. I used delta gapps Android 7 base and the basic gapps are working well. Cm13 themes I used before work fine. DKP kernel works fine, same settings as 13. Agreed ext SD access remains problematic. I'm not sure how to grant permissions for eg, fbreader and es to access it, but presumably that'll either get fixed son or if it's not broken, I'll figure out how to do it. When I get a sim for the d2 again I'll test phone functions. Gotta say, awesome work, [MENTION=2385005]invisiblek[/MENTION] and cm team!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] canodroid15:
Which CM 14 build are you running? The build I flashed doesn't have the theme chooser. Or I've overlooked a build somehow ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AyUaxe:
You're right. I was thinking about launcher themes--i use kk launcher and suru icons. Just haven't had time to explore this as much as I'd like. Just checked and 9/23 is still the only 14 build.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] canodroid15:
[MENTION=3056030]AyUaxe[/MENTION], cool was just making sure I wasn't missing something. I'm sure it'll be awhile b4 we see themes but man... I can't wait! I really like the N UI & a nice black theme applied is gonna be awesome!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] canodroid15:
I actually have substratum working in legacy mode on the 7.0 build with Domination theme. Woot! Also my good friend [MENTION=6249123]Lonelyskatter12[/MENTION] kernel is working great too!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AyUaxe:
Cool! I haven't been able to get mine to boot after substratum compiled overlays, though it reported no errors on compiling Chummy's Dark Material, go-to from back in unofficial L days (actually, I like Regression better, but not apparently available for substratum). Guess I need to poke around to find the legacy mode.

I'm running dkp kernel 8/20 build, vmin800 and also flashed Viper DD+ and it's working very well--had been having some stuttering issues on CM13 with hi-bitrate MP3 and FLACs, but not now (Case Lang & Veirs--awesome! But I said before how I thought N shoulda been Necco, so Neko Case could do a theme song--how can you not love a woman who describes her voice as "Not a fine instrument, but damn, it's loud!).

Can't believe I never found Scatter Kernel! I mean I searched and searched--love me some kernel tweaking! Will definitely try Scatter, though dkp has been berry berry good to me!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Roger W:
The changelists for the nightlies have gotten really light lately, which is good - they're just about what you'd want from a snapshot.

I'm on 10/8 to get the monthly security fixes and it's fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] J-Lindo:
I, too, am on 10/8, and besides the still-present (but small) camera issue I've mentioned before, it feels practically gold. Glad to hear the changelists are getting lighter. Woohoo! :victory:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
HA! Hey Axe! Nice tune. I been hangin' with AICP longer than I can believe - it's just got those little goodies I want that I ain't found anywhere else yet.

I got like 4 or 5 different cases around. I just like the feel of this thing naked - one of the reasons I bought it. It's kinda feels like a bar of soap, which is counter intuitive to not have a case, but I guess I've figured out how to keep it sticking to my hands. :cool: If you remember [MENTION=2963287]mastamoon[/MENTION] (he of the Dos Equis beer glass and carried the water for this phone for a hell of a long time!) he said he never used a case.

I was kinda waitin around for another N build to give it a try but I'm anxious to see what it looks like so I might just go ahead and give it a whirl. Been quite awhile since I've done any jumpin out of an airplanes....

(Dang - I wrote this last week?)

My user (phone owner ) didn't have permission to access the phone and I couldn't figure out how to give it to me, so no APNs were available or visible.. However, the next time I boot it I'll switch to 'guest' and see if I can get the phone to work. No Sim is actually also indicated. I'll have to look back in this and invisiblek's 12.x thread to check because this "No SIM" seems familiar.

Updated CM14 Unofficial Build

Here is a newer build for us to try. Hopefully it will be better than the 23rd build from last month, though there have not been too many commits since then!

http://download.invisiblek.org/roms/cm-14.0/d2vzw/cm-14.0-20161011-UNOFFICIAL-d2vzw.zip

UPDATE: Still "No SIM Card Detected" and "Cannot Connect to Camera", otherwise most seems well and fast for the things I have tried. :) VERY promising so far, considering Official Builds are not even here yet.

All the credit goes towards Invisiblek for providing this build to test and try out!! :)

Cheers!

Do you have SIM recognition? Or extsd recognition on the latest 10/11 (last one extsd worked)? I got neither, though Live Display works now. If I try to switch users everything goes kaplooie.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gcounts:
Same for me, no SIM, change user and it goes wonky, but I do have SD access.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] canodroid15:
You need to backup the contents on the ext SD & let the OS format it as portable storage. Then move your files back over & it should then recognize the ext SD. Those who aren't seeing the "corrupt SD card" message probably formatted the card once b4 on LP or M. I got lucky I guess, I never had to formst on LP or M nor the first build (9-23) looks like I'll have to on this build. I loaded it up last night but restored due to the ext SD. I'm going to format it this evening when I have more time & I'll let you guys know how it goes. Should be fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
I never had to format mine for any reason since I bought it. The 1st build worked fine in this regard. But, I rebooted the latest and it saw the contents of the /storage/123409u/Android folder, only. In MM on a clean install I'm always asked if I wanted to use the card for external storage, say yes and that's it. (I can verify this since I'm about to clean install the latest CM13 nightly. AICP has just become extremely flaky - I hope it's not the underlying CM base that's the problem on these latest builds. Was also using X though. :o )
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gcounts:
How about Pacrom ? I flashed it for fun, and it's beautifully done. I don't have a sim in, but it's very smooth.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AyUaxe:
10/11 build with latest dkp kernel is pretty great. Can't connect to camera still-tried several cam apps and none worked, so it's not just stock cam issue. Don't have a sim, so can't speak to that. Can use ES to browse to ext SD and open files in e.g. fbreader and ES music player, but can't browse the other way. Some settings and profiles don't save, presumably also bc of storage permissions. Everything else is awesome, including good BT. Also successfully oc'ing to 1836 mhz, without download corruption. Do probably need to +mv above 1512 mhz to get stability--eg, 1207mv/1836mhz. Loving N so far, so mega thanks to [MENTION=2385005]invisiblek[/MENTION] and [MENTION=1782878]Stealth111[/MENTION]!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thelangosta:
Which gapps did you use? The open gapps download for 7.0 says to use a patched ROM in order to get Google webview working properly. Since it's early days I wasn't sure if cm14 was "patched".
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AyUaxe:
I used delta gapps basic. Delta has been consistently good for me for a good while now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gcounts:
I used open gapps 7.0
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thelangosta:
It runs like melted butter. It also says my sdcard is corrupt but the s3 isn't my DD phone anymore so I don't really care.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AyUaxe:
Well rolled back to 13.x for stored data and tried 10/15/16 build, b/c blank change log. But again, no on board audio

I realize I seem to be the only one seeing this glitch, but can anyone I'd a change since 8/14 that could bork audio?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] YabbyYou:
Hey [MENTION=3056030]AyUaxe[/MENTION], did you have audio on those CM14 builds you were playing with? Just to refresh my memory, you have audio on the 8/14 build but not after correct? And by no onboard audio you mean nothing coming out of the speaker on the phone for music? Do you get phone audio out of the speaker? I think you said you get BT audio though right? If you go back to the 8/14 build now does the audio work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AyUaxe:
Yes, had and have onboard audio (phone speaker and wired headphones) on 8/14; had audio on both cm14 builds. Also BT audio on 8/14 and cm14 10/11. No onboard audio on any cm13 build after 8/14, but bt audio works. All with dkp and stock. No error messages. Just silence. I looked through change logs earlier and couldn't Id a cause, but maybe someone with more tech savvy can hit me with the clue bat. Thanks to all!

Update: our indomitable maintainer [MENTION=2385005]invisiblek[/MENTION] (PBUH) suggested reflashing NE1 modem, so I did but sadly no affect on my weird audio glitch. Also tried ML1, also no effect. At this point, thinking cm14 is most important, so I'll happily keep 8/14 as my fall back and move forward to N builds. If there are any log files I can pull that might be helpful in polishing CM13 or CM14, please let me know. Btw, Quark community is good, but this one is still the best!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AyUaxe:
Running cm14 exclusively for a week. Very solid and fast. Tried a camera app and a flashable can "fix" from our i9300 cousins, but no go. Of course torch or flashlight apps don't work with flash led, either. Audio, bt, and WiFi all working fine. I don't even look at gps any more, since it's always been hyper frustrating. I assume it doesn't work to the same extent it didn't with every prior rom. Still no phone service on this device, so can't test those functions. Looking forward to the next build! Thanks a ton, [MENTION=2385005]invisiblek[/MENTION]!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
Obviously you don't use it for a phone. I forget but you probably have mentioned that. Dang! Just looked at previous page. :cyclops:I got a little too excited there until I got near the end of your post - I was about to put it on, though no camera would be a hardship. Technology spoils the hell out of us, doesn't it? "If I can't take pictures with my phone10 times a day, and surf the net, and dictate a novel, and organize my life, and email and text and twit and facebook and ..., oh, and make phone calls, then I don't want to play anymore!"

I do so much with my phone I can't even make an exhaustive list! Maybe my phone can do that for me. :silly:

Darn! Must have zoned the email. Haven't ever tried it. Is it this: pac_d2vzw_MM.Beta.Official_20160920-184706.zip ?

Did you try it without the dkp? Otherwise, I think you got a gremlin.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AyUaxe:
Yes, I did try several October CM13 builds without dkp (i.e., stock kernel) and with, though not with the newest 6.0 dkp. I plan to do a clean install of a new CM13 build, stock and with the new dkp 6.0 build to see how that works. Also want to give the new Scatter Kernel some mileage--dev, [MENTION=6249123]Lonelyskatter12[/MENTION] is obviously a good person, picking up and learning from the greats, like [MENTION=4932679]decimalman[/MENTION] and offering maximal customizations! Check it out, if you dare: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3-verizon/development/kernel-skatter-kernel-t3471221

I'm surprised we haven't seen another CM14 build; but then I'm not building it, so can't complain in the slightest--continued kudos, curtsey's and kowtows to [MENTION=2385005]invisiblek[/MENTION]. Overall, the 10/11 build has been great for my ds2 media device. Been running it long enough to comment on battery life, though I don't have hard stats--I think it's marginally better than CM13, but again, that's without phone, camera or 4G functions.

I've been on samsung started with s3, note2, and now note4. All Verizon, but I'm sick of them. I was just looking at straight talk not more than an hour ago, I guess you bringing it up means it's time for me to jump! I pulled my s3 out of a drawer a few weeks ago just out of curiosity to flash cm14. I then flashed cm13 popped a SIM in and all worked fine for a few days then I started having some call issues. So I put the sim back in my note4. After finding the link to pacrom I flashed that but haven't put a SIM in to check calls, sms, mms, etc., but the Rom is very smooth and fast. Just give it a try! I have been looking at nexus for awhile now, and now pixel, although pixel just looks like and iPhone to me...... I hate that. I've also looked at the motor x pure 2015 used on swappa. Great phone expandable storage, and tons of development. They're around $200-300 used. Good deals on n6 and 6p as well all under $400 and t t t tons of development! So back to the s3, mine has been through me, my wife, and my son all dropping, tossing, spilling, scratching, and it runs like new! Very impressive. Cracking on the back cover, no cracks on the screen. I'm just hoping [MENTION=2385005]invisiblek[/MENTION] works out the ril issues with cm14... that'd be awesome on this old thing.

Full wiped and flashed 10/29 w/ current Delta gapps basic. Onboard audio works again! Restored data only from last cm13 backup and after @12 play store updates etc, was off and running. Flashed 10/13 dkp, but that produced poor responsiveness and instability. Re- flashed ROM and 8/20 dkp and it's back to the smooth, fast performance I've come to know and love. BTW, also updated TWRP to 3.0.2-0. No TWRP problems.

It's not recognizing the SIM but it's another great Rom to flash and mess with. I think the first two cm14 builds were actually more stable than this 14.1. But awesome still, to think we could actually have a running 7.0 or 7.1 Rom on this device one day....is unbelievable!

Anybody seeing LTE staying on even with wifi connected? I've seen others complaining about this somewhere. My data got blown out in the last 4 weeks - 3x normal. It started a month or more ago. I just put on an AICP build from 9/26 that doesn't have it. I don't think the 10/6-sh build on that had it either, but that build was hella flaky. I've tried various solutions with no success, other than manually turning it on and off. Can't hack these later builds with that issue.
