Sprint CM9 Nightlies are UP! - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

Go check out the Sprint Original Android Development Forum!
Or for you lazy people: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1765247
Very special thanks to Team Epic for getting it out there!
Flash and enjoy.
Everything is working more or less.
Everytime you restart your phone, you will be asked to activate. Just skip this step. You will also get a FC at start but just ignore this as well. Other than that, it is stable. Everything works but you will obviously lose all TouchWiz perks: S-Voice (can install again), Smart Stay (third party apps), Direct Call (uh....), S-Beam (You have Android Beam still), S-Memo, etc.
3G: Working
Wifi: Working but won't turn on sometimes. Reboot to fix.
GPS: Instant Locks
NFC: Working
Bluetooth: Working
Camera: Working. 1080P Video recording, pictures while recording, and 8PM. Flash works.
LTE: Unknown. I don't have LTE yet in NYC =[

More of a AOKP kinda guy but imma test this out.

Found a bug with WIFI. It won't toggle on sometimes so a reboot fixes.

[NS4G][Q] Nexus S 4G 4.1.2 / 4.2.2 TETHERING [WORKING]

Im making another thread in the Development section since people with the Nexus S dont care to even try to help with the Nexus S 4G people..
Short and simple is there any Jellybean ROM for the NS4G that has 4G Tethering working?
Please Thank "cloud9utk" for finding this! Post #18
Code:
ok, so i have a NS4G running CM 10.1.2-crespo4G. i run the matrix kernel v25-CM and have gapps.20130812 installed.
i was able to get 4G tethering running with Wifi Tether v3.4experimental1
here are my settings:
Profile: Google Nexus S 4G
Method: Netd-Ndc (master)
"Max Client" - unchecked
"No-tether" - checked
No encryption
Default SSID on default channel (set to 01)
wifi reload 1 - unchecked
wifi reload 2 - checked
all other settings default. you can enable access control and just allow your own devices.
works in 4G just fine.
oddities: when i analyze the wifi signals, all other modes go through without errors on the log, but the wifi never shows up in the Wifi Analyzer graph. but with these settings it shows up, but at channel 06. curious, but it works.
i haven't tried to change the ssid, because "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" but i'm confident that won't mess it up.
cheers everyone! thanks for all the help! glad i could finally give something back!
PS: it works best when sprint isn't mucking around with their WIMAX network... also, i am on voyager mobile, not Sprint, but it is a sprint mvno. so $50/month unlimited tethering data. hmm..
In 4.1.2 most if not all rooms should be easy to tether off of with the standard wifi tether app I don't have the link handy but it's the common xda-developers one.
For 4.2.1/2 Google changed how tethering works... The only app I found that works is in the market for $. 99...It's called wifi tether router.. It eats most of the ram while running so one app like a music player or texting can be run at the same time but expect to reboot if you disable the tether and want to re-enable it... Also it bugs sometimes and has to be reinstalled... Wpa2 appears to work the best... I use it with slim bean 4.2.2 and it runs on wimax just fine. It does drain the battery at close to 1 percent per minute and beats out the charger in drain just be aware.

I am using the latest WiFi Tether I grabbed from Google and it has been working great. I have been tethering 2 laptops and my other phone on 4g and it hasn't disconnected once.

I could not get WIFI Tether to work with anything after 4.1.1 and the only way to get it to work was to go back to stock 4.1.1. What custom JB roms work with WIFI Tether?
What settings are you using with WiFi Tether? I too have not had any luck in getting it to work with a Jellybean Rom.

This is the only one that works for me currently wpa2 works fine

You were right. I was on 4.1.1 at the time and tethering 4g with no problems. I am going to try the link posted above and see if it works but WiMax is used so little now that tethering 4g might make me stay on 4.1.1 stock. I can customize the extended power menu and battery icons with Xposed mod so it may be OK if the above link doesn't work. I am trying them all on SlimROM 4.2.2 now
This worked for me...
Running stock, rooted 4.1.1 on Nexus S 4G. I've been running up against a wall trying to get tethering to work until I stumbled across this link...
https://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/issues/detail?id=1661
Of particular interest was post #197 and the link to wifi_tether_v3_4-experimental1.apk
Be sure to change the device profile to Nexus S 4G. Voila! Tethering works!
(you should uninstall any other tethering apps you may have installed.)

Do you mean this works on 4.2.2 or 4.3? I had Wifi Tether working on the last Sprint OTA stock 4.1.1 but not on anything after.

I'm on Sprint OTA stock 4.1.1, rooted and unlocked, and have not been able to get tethering to work at all until Ifound the referenced link. I don't see why you couldnt try it on 4.2 and beyond?

Yeah I've tried to get Wifi Tether working on 4.2 roms but unsuccessful so went back to stock rooted 4.1.1, as it's the only thing that would work with Wifi Tether. This thread is about trying to get tether to work on a 4.2 or 4.3 rom.

Same here. I tried at least six different 4.1.2 or 4.2.2 ROMs and as soon as I activate a tether it errors out. I switched from the odexed stock 4.1.1 to OMJ's deodexed stock 4.1.1 so I can add in inverted gapps and re-odex. I don't know why data is not reconnecting once i turn on any tether app on 4.2.2 but I did get it to work twice which is driving me nuts
Well, on 4.1.1 I can tether on 4g and as soon as I posted my last post, I got the native 3g tether working on one of the newer CM builds... CM10.1.3 RC1 but only 3g as of now
Thanks for all the replies guys, I finally got internet in my house so im going to try and download a couple roms and give it a test for my self.. The only reason i wasnt doing it before was because i was terthering internet from my phone which was my main source of internet and it would have taken 2 hours just to download 1 rom
reviving this to see if anyone has gotten 4G tethering to work on at least 4.2.2

I just finished setting up my HTC One so I will go ahead and try and find a few newer 4.2.2,ROMs and try them. I already downloaded last night's CM nightly so we'll see. I mean it has worked before but I got frustrated toggling it 20 times to get it to lock.
Although I did add all of the 4.2.2 gapps to my 4.1.1 and I am fairly certain that it's all current...but what the hell, I have time today

Awesome, btw i was testing out Hellybean 4.2.2 because someone said they had tethering working in that (Seems to only be 3G Tethering tho)
But after flashing Hellybean 4.2.2, Native 3G Tethering works like a charm
After flashing gApps on top of that native 3G Tethering STOPPED working.(as in i can connect but no data gets sent to my computer)
Ive tried to replicate the problem 3 times so far and each time the same things happens so i believe i just linked the flashing of gApps to our tethering problem, at least the native tethering

slimbean rom 4.3 weekly build 4 issues

Since I have not posted 10 replies to the site, I'm using the Q&A to post some issues with the new Slimbean 4.3 weekly build 4.
The WiFi won't activate whenever the S3 is in range of a signal or site saved into the phone. I have to turn off the WiFi feature for about 10 seconds in order for the signal to be noticed/activated.
There is feedback from the Google Play Music app. I did not run a logcat to determine the time or frequency of the occurrence.
Finally, there appears to be an issue with the latest version of Maps along with location access. I uninstalled Maps 7.1 and placed 6.14 from the Slimroms site. It works better but the location access is still glitchy with other apps that require it.
All in all, this is however great progress on 4.3!

I'm not running slimbean, but I am on pac 4.3 and my wifi works fine. Maybe try either leankernel or kt747, the wifi drivers are contained in the kernel so maybe you'll have some more luck with them.
I've had an issue with the GPS as well, and disabling "use assisted GPS" in the phone settings fixed it 100%.

Thanks I'll give it a try.
The kt747 kernel works great! I also found out that the new privacy feature blocks GPS data coming in or going out. Turn off the privacy feature in the apps that require locator service.

Sense 5 Rom Comments

I've got a low post count but wanted to weigh-in on the current version of the Sense 5 rom.
I'm using T-Mobile, so not sure if my issues are related to my carrier or not...
1) Bluetooth isn't working. Turning it on does not result in anything...it goes fro turning on to off. Assuming it's the HTC One S ril that the rom is based on casuing this problem.
2) HTC Messages (the stock messenger) will not let me click a link in the message. If someone send me a text with an external link, and I go to click it, it causes Messages to force quit. I can use 3rd part apps and it works fine. Just an FYI...
3) HTC Locations doesn't work but I believe that is a Sense 4/ Sense 5 issue.
Everything else seems to be working. I am using this as my daily rom and haven't had any troubles (besides the ones mentioned above).
Thank you to everyone working on this!

when I used it the dailer would freeze and fc and data wouldnt stay on 4g or h
More insights:
Camera works but the facial recognition seems to be wonkey. I've turned it off so as not to see it jumping around like crazy.
Video...not sure if this is working. I do know that it comes on and the camera crashes and I have to restart.
FM radio...not a deal-breaker, but if I stick a pair of headphones in - the tuner never lets go and stations can't be tuned in.
GPS...saw that was one of the 'not working' apps. I don't really use it for navigation...as long as you've got wifi it seems to be able to locate but driving with it is impossible as it doesn't seem to know where you or or lock your position in.
I've been using this since JMZ updated the last version (so 2 weeks?). Haven't had a problem. And none of these, for me, make this rom unusable...it would just be nice to have a fully working one with Sense 5.
I will work on it some more when I get my oc back as my desktop is old and slow.

Yes, but after flash make sure to wipe cache and dalvik cache. I did and everything is working fine. Wiping caches as a must though.
mobile data issue
Hello,after flashing this ROM mobile data isn't working. I tried to change APN with "Change APN" from play market, but I have a message "access point name settings are not available for this user" and when I try to add APN it is not save them. How to change APN? In preview port mobile data not worked too, but I repair it with change APN.

CM12.0 Issues on LS970 Sprint
Let me first say I love the ROM... Good Job... I am however having a few serious issues...
1) While making a call, the phone immediately disconnects. When I call back, the other caller is still connected so it goes to voice mail. I will have to reboot the phone. This happens every time and is very difficult to manage since I have to enable airplane mode to end the call.
2) Phone calls will not end, pressing the end icon only makes the end option go away but the phone call is still in progress. I tried using a bluetooth headset and only the device.
3) The bluetooth cuts off, wades out and disconnects very often. I have tried multiple devices and have the same issue.
4) No SIM card- Sprint appears in notification bar on lock screen and can't be removed.
5)Voicemail by long pressing # one doesn't work
If you could please direct me how I can fix this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Dialer
I am a fool in love with this ROM. Everything about it except one major bug that has already been mentioned. I cannot make calls! The first time I make a call, it immediately reports "Call ended" although the person on the other end does get a silent call from me beyond my control. This blew up on me when someone important I was trying to call thought I was pranking them. I have to jump ship until it's fixed. Thanks for this almost perfect ROM.

Bluetooth Audio, Android Wear and Data
Some observations:
Bluetooth audio does not work for me. Tried multiple devices. They connect, but none will play audio. Phone audio does work however.
Android Wear is a little wonky with LG G Watch. Got the common Android Wear repeatedly crashing. Had to uninstall all Wear apps and reset the watch. That seemed to clear it up, but I'm not sure if all of the notifications are coming through.
Sprint data is odd to begin with. It seems when you lose wifi, cell data does not connect on it's own (I see the exclamation point icon). Toggling airplane mode sometimes worked to restore data. Rebooting seemed to work well.
Finally, I have a Google Voice number integrated with my Sprint number. Messenger doesn't work at all and Hangouts only sends texts. Only the Voice app fully works for me.
Great ROM! Can I use nightly updates from within the ROM?
Thanks for a great Lollipop ROM! One question:
In the Settings>About Home>CyanogenMod updates there are "Available Updates" listed, there are nightlies. Are these useful in any way or they unrelated to this unofficial L rom?
Also -- just a status on this ROM for me, it seems very usable and stable. A couple issues I've found:
- the provided Messaging app won't send out for me, it shows "SMS disabled" in the text area under messages. I installed "Google Messenger" and it works fine.
- there is a NO SIM CARD - SPRINT message on the lockscreen, but this phone doesn't use a SIM card (on the Sprint version anyway)
- the camera works but the exposure does not adjust dynamically: what I mean is that the stock camera lets you touch/focus a dark area of the photo and the entire image will brighten up to adjust the exposure for that spot in the image. In the same way touching a bright spot will dim the entire image a bit to expose better for that spot. This is not working in the camera app. I installed the Google Camera from the Play Store and it works the same, so I think an exposure variable is not communicating or something similar. I can manually adjust exposure but that does not solve it everyday usage where touching a spot usually adjusts both focus and exposure.
I hope this all helps improve the ROM. Thanks again!
PS. The earlier post mentioned bluetooth problems. For me, bluetooth is working perfect so far, including Bluetooth LE 4.0 connecting to my Fitbit.
Installing gapps with TWRP vs Phils Touch (Clockwork Mod)
A note on installation -- with TWRP 2.8.3.0 I was able to flash the main ROM but would get an error while trying to flash the 1109 version of gapps for Android 5:
" gapps error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/gapps-lp-20141109-signed.zip ". This leaves things broken and rebooting shows endless error dialogs.
To solve this, in TWRP I wiped and then flashed the main ROM file again, then flashed Phil's Touch version of Clockwork recovery for the LS970 ( philz_touch_6.23.3-ls970.zip ). I rebooted into Clockwork recovery and was able to flash gapps successfully.
Next time I think starting with Phil's Clockwork instead of TWRP would have made things easier for setting up this ROM.
Nightlies: Enabling root access and granting superuser to apps
SuperSU stopped working for me on the nightlies and I found out this is now built into CM12. Here is how I enabled root access and superuser management:
1. go to Settings > About phone > then repeatedly tap Build number to enable Development options menu
2. go to the newly enabled Settings > About phone > Development options
3. set Root access for Apps as needed
A prompt will appear when trying to use an app that needs root and the user can grant superuser access for that app, no SuperSU app needed anymore.
Various permissions can also be managed per app in the Settings > Privacy > Privacy Guard area (double tapp an app in the list there to see settings).
Sprint Visual Voicemail
One thing for Sprint Optimus G users who want this as a daily driver, Sprint Visual Voicemail is the best way to do voicemail (on Sprint, anyway). See instructions and APK here:

I really love how well this runs! I'm coming from Vanir and Commotio which is no longer being updated. The battery life on this is pretty good so far. I do have a question though. I assume the # symbol in the status bar is for root, but I'd really like to get rid of it. Does anyone know of a way to do this? As for the camera, I set the app to manual exposure under advanced settings and made it +2 (which is the highest allowed in the app). This helps but doesn't completely eliminate the need for dynamic on-the-fly exposure. Also, my 5ghz wifi doesn't work. Calls work fine for me. Proximity is good. Auto brightness is good(I think). 2.4ghz wifi is fine. 3g data is fine. Can't tell if 4g works as I haven't been able to get into a 4g area yet. Since the stock app was listed as not working I'm just using 8sms and it works just fine for texts. Overall fantastic job! Hard to believe this is so new and running like a daily driver!
Edit* Also, for me at least, gesture typing doesn't work with stock keyboard. I haven't tried swiftkey, swype, etc. yet, though.

@thejase About the # sign in the status bar, are you using SuperSU or something similar? If so, you don't need that anymore as root functionality is managed within the CM12 ROM now (see my earlier post on the steps to enable root within CM12).
Slowdowns and killing apps
After using various apps (browser, facebook, twitter, youtube, etc) I have experienced things get slow and just stop a couple times, perhaps an out-of-memory situation or some type of accumulation.
I noticed when force-restarting the phone that apps sometimes re-appear in the app switcher/card list even if they were closed previously. This might be an L bug beyond this ROM. Restarting the phone about once a day seems to help.
$G/LTE and also SMS/MMS using Google Messenger

.... Can't tell if 4g works as I haven't been able to get into a 4g area yet. Since the stock app was listed as not working I'm just using 8sms and it works just fine for texts. Overall fantastic job! Hard to believe this is so new and running like a daily driver!
Edit* Also, for me at least, gesture typing doesn't work with stock keyboard. I haven't tried swiftkey, swype, etc. yet, though.

I'm in a 4G/LTE area and it works great! For SMS I've found that installing the official Google Messenger from the Play Store provides a working version of the very smooth Lollipop SMS/MMS experience on this ROM -- for example, when people send me MMS photos it creates a neat photo gallery right within the chat. Here is a link:

Google announced that there is a memory leak, they are fixing or have fixed it and it should be in the next update/release. 5.0.3 I think they said.

A working / stable AOSP or EmotionOS ROM????

I'm looking for a new or Stable Rom to use than TW,...
Has anybody been able to achieve this?
with working Calls, MMS, SMS and even Data?
or even without the GPS, Camera 4K or 60FPS Recording Issues?
I've been running emotion. With no major issues. At first I couldn't get data. Well you can get 3g if you let boot and go into networks and change to 3g.
I finally figured out 4g.
Goto APN and change the n.ispsn to r.ispsn save and reboot for 4g.
Best bet is to copy the LTE apn info from your working daily driver. Then add new APN.
Only issue I have is no 5ghz hotspot. 2.4g works fine though.
And something is not right with something google related. Can't add contacts or google account to android wear 2.0
Thansk for the tip c:
Would you mind sharing me the file? or letting me know what version you are running for Emotion OS? and what I could do to backup my APNS? or any other suggestions will help me out alot.
Thanks for the advice
I will try it out sometime, I will definitely see if i can backup my APNS to use in Emotion and Add this one you described aswell. I Don't use hotspot so that's not a problem either.
for me they were small issues like there was no fast charging, just cable charging but it was enough to charge it within an hour......then 45 minutes for me on Stock TW PK1 and there was no 60FPS recording on Emotion Os either? , the 4k looks better on the S6 then the N4 so I don't care about that at all, but I've also tried using other Camera Apps too, but it doesn't suggest the 60FPS .Nor 4k Feature but 1080P hasn't been a huge problem to me lol...
but the rest was the fact that my GPS wouldn't exactly lock for me , it would detect it but when I was traveling it wasn't grabbin my exact location.
I was also able to get 4G Data but I would then get a text saying to activate even tho, I'm already able to send and receive text messages and calls too.. MMS i wasn't able to test at that time because I had to switch to stock immediately....
my workaround for getting Snapchat was logging into it before rooting it on Stock......but on EmotionOS I'm not entirely sure how I will be able to do that other than making a Titanium Backup and restoring it from there..
