LogCat thanks to sublimejosh2000:
Open your terminal on your phone and type:
su
logcat > /sdcard/log.txt
It will continue to write to the file as long as terminal is open and when you experience the bug, it will catch it. When you reboot you should have a nice text file for uploading to the thread
*** If you are getting errors playing Media Files or are seeing multiples of the same image or Grey items. This is "Ghosting", for some reason(what/why this is is unknown to me). The Fix:
Go to Settings/Apps/All/scroll down to Media Storage, and Clear Data. Reboot, and Scan your media again. Depending how much you have will determine how long it takes. This will happen again when rebooting, maybe not the first or second reboot, but it'll happen again

Great bit of info put together by unit_vector
unit_vector said:
I have consolidated some information regarding frequent issues with the most recent nightly releases. Hopefully someone finds this useful, since I've dealt with most of them myself and I see someone ask about these things daily. If any of the info here is wrong or misleading please don't hesitate to correct me (just kidding, I know you won't)
GPS
-When the option was added to use an external GPS it broke the default source to be undefined. Go to "System Settings-> Location Services-> GPS Source" and make sure "Use Internal GPS" is selected.
-Some other update changed something with the permissions of the location services settings. Uncheck and recheck all the options on the above screen to force it to ask for the proper permissions again.
4G LTE/Wireless Data
-Currently you need to reboot after installing for the first time or upgrading to a new nightly in order to get any data signal.
-Make sure you are aware of the difference between the service providers' terminology and the "real"/CM terminology (AT&T 4G is actually HSPA+, AT&T 4G LTE is actually 4G).
-Go to "System Settings->More->Mobile networks" and make sure LTE is selected under Network Mode.
-Go to "System Settings->More->Mobile networks->Access Point Names" and verify versus known good LTE APN settings.
-You may have lost your IMEI. "Check System Settings->About Phone->Status". If your IMEI shows 0 you may have to follow the instructions in the IMEI recovery thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1801997. After restoring your IMEI you may still need to do additional steps to restore LTE. To avoid this headache back up your IMEI before you lose it using the above thread. Make sure you try just rebooting first to see if that fixes the missing IMEI.
Wi-Fi
-Some people report problems with Wi-Fi signal or connection. Try going to "System Settings->Wi-Fi->Menu/Advanced" and un-check "Avoid Poor Connections".
Volume/Sound Problems
-Audio drivers are currently a work-in-progress. Updates are still coming all the time.
-If you have no sound try turning the volume all the way down then up again for alarms, calls, notification, etc.
-Try re-selecting your ring tones in the app or clearing cache and/or data for that app.
-Call volume is known to be a bit loud now.
-There seems to be an issue with Google Now voice recognition mic volume. Try talking in to the noise cancellation mic (top).
-If your phone is not speaking Google Now results or street names in Navigation properly make sure you are using English (US) in the language settings (other languages/nationalities are currently not supported).
Camera/Gallery
-Swipe to gallery feature was "broken" by the addition of pinch to zoom. To get it to work swipe outside of image and buttons (in the grey area). **Reverted and reportedly fixed in 9/10**
-There is currently no option to store to external SD (yet).
-The built in gallery does not sync to Picasa. This is a known bug.
Battery Life
-Battery calibration is wiped after first installing or upgrading. Wait a full cycle before trusting percent reported.
-Install BBS http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1179809 to track alarms and wake locks.
-Battery use after clearing caches after upgrading is high. Wait til it is finished rebuilding before gauging drain.
-Other kernels give more control over battery and performance. You can try those but don't report any other bugs here if you do.
Screen Flicker
-Has improved recently but can be seen occasionally, particularly with 3rd party keyboards or graphics intensive apps.
-Going to "System Settings->Developer Options" and choosing "Disable HW Overlays" fixes the flicker at the expense of performance.
USB Storage
-There is no UMS (Generic USB Mass Storage) mode by default on our phones. You may need to install MTP drivers or a different OS that supports it. There are apps http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1711009 that allow UMS access but there are drawbacks.
-If you followed any of the procedures in the IMEI thread and did not properly revert to MTP mode you may need to do so before being able to access your storage via USB.
Home button wake
-Going to System "Settings->Performance->Processor" and increasing the minimum CPU frequency from 384 to 486 is reported to fix it.
64GB+ SD Cards
-CM will not directly support the exFAT format due to licensing restrictions
-You can format as FAT32 (with the restriction of not being able to have files over 4GB each)
-Not sure if it is supported at the moment, but in the future you should be able to format as ext (fixes the 4GB file problem, but makes the card unreadable by Windows without special tools)
Anything gapps related involving non-recommended gapps
-For example problems with text messaging when using inverted gapps
-Use recommended gapps.
Anything system related involving non-CM kernels
-Use the default kernel.
Installing/Upgrading
When updating from Nightlies MAKE SURE you are downloading the CM10 zip file. The CM9 weekly files show up in the same list.
The M flagged zip files are the same as every other nightly, except care is taken in the days/week before releasing the M edition to not introduce any new features into Nightlies that might break the system. This means that if you flash only the M files you are less likely to run into "show-stopping" bugs. After the M edition is released developers will continue adding new features to the Nightlies that may or may not result in instability.
The recommended nightly upgrade procedure should be:
-Backup/Nandroid
-Format /system (under Mounts and Storage)
-Wipe cache
-Wipe Dalvik cache (under Advanced)
-Install Nightly ROM zip
-Install gapps zip
-Reboot System
You may be able to get away with only:
-Backup/Nandroid (not technically required, but you're a crazy-pants if you don't)
-Wipe cache (It looks like dalvik-cache is included in the /cache partition on our phones - it isn't for all phones - so a /cache wipe should cover Dalvik as well. I'm no expert though, so don't take my word for it if you have problems NOT wiping Dalvik cache specifically)
-Install Nightly Rom zip
-Reboot System
Apps Force Closing/Other Strange Behaviour That Other People Are Not Reporting
-Try running Fix Permissions from recovery
-After backing up, try a Factory Reset combined with the above flashing steps to see if the error occurs on a clean system (Factory Reset does not wipe/format your SD card(s), only erases all apps and app/system data
Anything system related involving non-CM kernels
-Use the default kernel.

First of all, thank you for trying to do this! I don't think that the herd will care and they will continue to clog up the development thread, but you're trying and that definitely counts for something.
Do we have a current bug list that isn't just a bunch of "me too!" and random one off bugs? I'm talking about things that are consistent across all users who have properly installed? I think a well maintained list would be beneficial to the CM team (read Steve) rather than having them cull through the steaming 100 page pile of pure fetid "awesome".
I've read that entire thread up to this point but I've been trying not to engage too much due to the state of things over there. But here is my small and likely incomplete list of verified bugs at this point. Please help add to it with valid citations. I don't want to put things onto the list until they are verified by at least two users who can state the issue clearly in a post. I will try to keep this updated but please feel free to rip it away from me and keep it in tip-top shape.
Tethering does not work in either WPA or WPA2 modes (but it does work in insecure mode) [1, 2, 3, 4]
A2DP isn't working [1]
Camera focusing bug (that is known and is going to be fixed upon next build) [1]
LTE in Canada seems to be a common complaint. [1,2]
MTP not working for Mac users. [1,2]
Picasa sync doesn't work [1]
So since this is the Q&A thread, I have two questions:
What bugs have I missed? (please provide a single post link as a citation)
Whats the best way to find out when/where to find the latest gapps builds? I always find them from fellow forum users posts but it seems to me that they have to originate somewhere and I'm less than clear on that process.

Is there anyway we can improve the gps? It's gotten worst after every update. I just wanted to know if there's anything we can do to fix it.

Can you help quantify this? Its been working just fine for me. Can you run GPS Test to determine how many satellites are in view, in use, and your accuracy? Beyond that, can you elaborate what symptoms you are referring to by it "worse"?

Well for some reason. It takes a while to get a signal after a reboot. I know on stock or aokp it wasn't like that. I'd get a lock in 3-5 seconds. Any ways. once it gets a lock. Like 10 seconds later it loses signal and it comes back almost instantly.
Also, Even when I use the navigation app it freezes for a couple of seconds and the it goes back to normal. It's weird. I tried using gps fix but it doesn't fix the problem.
Edit: just ran gps test. I have 17 satellites in view and only using 9-10.

Well I don't want to sound too callous here, but 10 seconds is plenty fine for a lock. I guess I'm more patient than some folks, but at this point, it seems like a very minor issue. I do wonder if it was even "locking" in AOKP or if they just institute a lower threshold of accuracy to be designated as "locked". (Pure conjecture on my part, I could be wrong).
Using 9-10 is absolutely normal. Seeing as how you have a 12 channel receiver in your device, using 10 is great. You should be accurate to within 10 feet within a few seconds of starting up. Also, taking longer after a reboot is normal. There are a lot of different start-up "states" for GPS based on how long since the last lock and things like the phone being power cycled.

I've noticed on the 7/20 build, the play store link in the top right corner of the app drawer doesn't work. You have to actually select the shortcut from the app list.
EDIT: Seems to be an intermittent thing.
Are there plans to return universal search?
Has anyone found a way to transfer data (contacts, call log, mms log, data usage, etc.) from stock rom to CM10? Whenever I try (through TB) to restore data, i get an error saying "android.process.acore has stopped working". I did a search and made sure the "restore system data" option was selected in preferences both when i backed up and when I restored. I've also tried AppExtractor but that has done nothing. I've tried turning off auto sync and removing google account prior to restoring, all to no avail.

The link in the top right of the app drawer works just fine for me. On the 7/20 build. Which gapps did you install? I'm using the 7/16 build of them.

All I can say is that the GPS, for me at least, is AMAZING, actually even better than stock

Well that's why I compared it to aokp and stock. Even after a cold boot the gps still came on and locked within 4 seconds. On cm10 its much longer. And like I said alot of times it can't keep a lock. It loses the signal and gets it back 10-15s later. It's nothing serious. Just annoying since I use it very often (taxi driver)

1) auto focus and camera itself works perfect for me, after applying the flashable fix though, however it force closes if you try to change the picture size now and then
2) phone app force closed a couple of times, once on MTP connection and once with speaker on.
3) tethering work for me.
4) lockscreen custom background dosent work if you have a different homescreen wallpaper
5) soft key lights turn off if you try to change the screen brightness(changing the brightness to auto will fix it though)
6) volume rocker work perfect
I am om CM10_20120720 build, Gapps_20120720, flashed with CWM 5.8.4.5. I had quite good number of unsuccessful attempts when tried to flash with CWM 5.8.4.7 (ext sd dosent show up in CWM recovery)
Also restored to stock rom with a nandroid on all CM10 builds

Good overall with a few issues
Just flashed my ATT S3 with the preview build, awesome overall, so much faster than TouchWiz.
Having a few issues tho:
1) camera is borked (app was erroring then disappeared?)
2) gmail doesnt sync properly (worked fine with stock rom)
3) exchange activesync doesnt work (worked fine with stock rom)
4) notifications for gmail dont work (worked fine with stock rom)
5) menus show Galaxy S2, not S3 (minor)

PLEASE make sure to thank task650 for his dedication to this body of work​
Thanks to all the members of XDA and Task's threads, credit goes to everyone as I have just taken info from users input and located it to one place. Thanks to you all for helping us learn everyday
.
Please read the OP in dev thread carefully on latest update, it has some very important info in it.
​
BUG REPORTING: Very minimal at least read the thread from the date of the update you are running. If you see a couple posts about a paticular bug then consider it noted by devs. They do read these. Remember if they can't duplicate the problem then they sure as hell can't fix it. IF you are going to report a bug - include the necessary information or it will be ignored.
thanks for understanding that after a few bug reports are made and i acknowledge them, that the unecessary 100 that follow are ridiculous. Task
Always read the OP. If it says full wipe then do a full wipe. If you don't follow the OP please don't post problems. This isn't helping anyone. Full wipe isn't a big deal. You can backup and restore your launcher settings with Nova or Apex, Backup and restore apps with Titanium backup(pro has the batch feature and is worth the money) and you can backup and restore most of your AOKP settings with AOKP backup. ***AOKP BACKUP can cause issues when restoring. If you have errors after restoring with AOKP BACKUP try the process again without using it.*** Using these three methods takes about 10 minutes. This is barebones backup/restore. If you have a lot of tweaks and kernel changes it will take you longer. So as stated in the OP if you have problems do a full wipe before you report any problems.​
Read the change log. This will answer a multitude of questions.
This is for the AT&T version of the Galaxy S3. This rom may work on different variants of the phone, but as for now Task and Ktoon do not have the time to support other versions. If you are on a different version of the Galaxy S3 and report a bug please understand that this ROM is AT&T supported only.
This is just to help Task and Ktoon keep repetitive questions out of there thread. If any information in this post conflicts with Task and Ktoon's OP or ROM thread then ALWAYS follow their information first.
Below is am alphabetized list of FAQ, bugs, known issues and tips.
This is just a collection of answers that have been posted in the thread. Use as a guideline not as a rule of thumb. Always follow the OP.

Gapps has been changed - make sure you flash the newest in OP and update google search through play store.
msm_otg wakelock usually happens while rebooting and plugged into a power source - remove power source and reboot while on battery only should fix this.
Disable touch sounds to avoid sound weirdness while listening to music or on the phone.
Phone freezing/black screen-try raising your minimum speed or just revert to a rom before the new 3.4 kernel was implemented. Try the 3-13 build.
cLock weather not updating - Either yahoo API change or a weather station down.
AOKP BACKUP
AOKP BACKUP is a great app for restoring most of your settings, but may cause some issues.
Third party app not working properly
This ROM has nothing to to with 3rd party apps. You would need to contact the developer of those respective apps to get support for them. You also need to understand that not all apps support the Jellybean 4.2.x OS yet and need to be updated by the developers in order for them to work correctly. task650
Trying clearing data for that app
If you used TIBU to restore app, clear cache and data and delete the app and download it fresh from the Playstore.
Some people are reporting third party camera apps not working correctly and/or causing stock camera problems. This could be true for a number of third party apps that could be conflicting with system apps.
If any given app/process is giving you problems or fc'ing- try clearning data for that app and/or fixing permissions.
Make sure you have the app updated to latest version. The existing version may not be up to date for 4.2.X or whatever version the ROM is.
If your app won't sync or no notifications - try logging out and then back in. Or try deleting the account and add it back.
2g toggle
If you can't get your phone to wake up-
Hold down the power button for up to 30 seconds - it will restart. You should not have to pull the battery after using this step to restart. It does work and may take a few times for you to get it right.
BATTERY LIFE:
We all at some time have been proud or dissapointed in our battery life, but please keep battery stats out of the development thread.There are threads for this and the Development threads are not one of them.
There are way too many variables that influence battery life to be concerned with in a DEVELOPMENT thread. This has been stated daily by the Developers.
Install betterbatterystats and figure out if the problem could be something causing a wake lock keeping your phone from entering deep sleep.
Go here to discuss BBS wakelocks and read the how to in the app. It is very beneficial.
It is a known fact that it may take a couple charge cycles for your battery to calibrate and settle in. Also it should be known that these batteries do not need the data cleared for them. THEY WILL CALIBRATE THEMSELVES.
If you are getting over 3 hours of on screen time on a single charge that is nothing to complain about. IF you do see a post in the development thread about battery life, ignore it. Once again, no one uses their phone the same and their set up is probably not going to influence your phone significantly.
Sometimes an app or process is just sticking and a reboot will help.
You could possibly see battery showing charging when not plugged in or a dramatic change after a reboot. Once again this is just the battery fuel gauge recalibrating itself. This is normal.

Bugs/reporting
Bug reports should contain a logcat or information that would help. saying this doesn't work or this is happening doesn't help us at all and at that point belongs in Q&A. task 650
Some bugs are being reported by a few that Task, Ktoon and others are not seeing. Follow avidmovies notes below on trouble shooting/comprehensive reflash and Task's suggestion above on weird sh!t. Stick to the basics and see if problem is there still - such as stay with kernel that is included with rom, skip restoring anything with titanium back up, other words just try the basics and if a certain app has been giving you problems download it from the market instead of TIBU and see if problem still persists. Some apps have been reported to make ROM features malfunction.
If you had a spontanious reboot, we need the file last_kmsg from the /proc folder.
If you have n FC on an app, thats when we want a logcat
Guide on how to logcat. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1726238
All In One Android Logger > AIOlog
Catlog - https://play.google.com/store/apps/detailsid=com.nolanlawson.logcat&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5ub2xhbmxhd3Nvbi5sb2djYXQiXQ..
If you do not have the latest update of this rom consider it unsupported. This is why they update- to get rid of the bugs that we may be having on older versions.
BUG REPORTING: Very minimal at least read the thread from the date of the update you are running. If you see a couple posts about a paticular bug then consider it noted by Task. He does read these. Remember if he can't duplicate the problem then they sure as hell can't fix it. Bug reports without a logcat or a random reboots without a last_kmsg will be ignored.
"Thanks for understanding that after a few bug reports are made and I acknowledge them, that the unecessary 100 that follow are ridiculous." Task
Just follow this practice and you will be golden.
If you see a bug reported once - go ahead and report it again with a LOGCAT or proper info.
If you see a bug reported twice and you are seeing it consider it a known bug and the following will probably happen-
Task has the same problem or enough info from LOGCATS provided and will fix it or
Task is not having the problem and can do nothing about it unless a LOGCAT is given
Point here is Task can't fix problems with out the proper information.
"Be patient for the galaxy s3 settings to be fixed." Task --- Some stuff is taken out, left out or temporarily removed for good reason.
If you are going to report a problem, include some details. Kernel, UC/OC, circumstances, etc...
Once again TALKING about a bug without the proper info including either LOGCAT or last_kmsg is nothing but A WASTE OF TIME.
Read THIS posted in the development thread by Task.
HOW_TO_PROPERLY_REPORT_A_BUG
BLUETOOTH
If your phone switches to vibrate when you connect to bluetooth. Check here
Settings>Rom Control > Bluetooth A2DP connected action
No action
Vibrate Mode
Silent Mode
Benchmark Scores
The devs have stated many times that these scores are BS. If you run a benchmark and want to discuss it, there are threads that are purely for discussing these random numbers. The development thread is not one of them.
CAPACITIVE BUTTONS
For instructions to disable capacitive buttons go HERE!
CM10
This is not a CM10 ROM nor is it based off one.
Comparing the two makes no sense. This is based off Google as is CM10. Other than that there is NO comparison. Please understand this. If something works or is in one rom doesn't mean it will work or is in the other.
If you want to compare CM10 and Tasks AOKP take it to the general section. A development thread is not the place for it.
CRT animation
If you put your animation speeds below .75 CRT will not work.
There are now toggles and more options for CRT - familiarize yourself with them.
DATA CONNECTION/SPEED
If you have no data after a flash, dont freak out.
Try rebooting
Make sure you have data toggle turned on.
Try toggling airplane mode
Check APNs.
If you have no APN's make sure your SIM card is in good and reboot.
If SIM card is not detected during a reboot - your APN'S will/could be blank.
DO you have your IMEI intact?
DATA SPEED PROBLEMS
Data speed can vary greatly depending on user traffic and distance from towers.
SpeedTest app is not a reliable source of accurate data speed
The ATT APN is being phased out by ATT. You need to use the ATT LTE APN - task650
Just because your stock ROM said 4G doesn't mean you actually had 4G/LTE. ATT roms report H/H+ as 4G where as this ROM gives you true data connection.
DATA Symbols
I flicker between H and 3g. AOKP shows true connection where as stock roms just show 4G. Also this rom controls data connection and kicks it down to 3G when not using data and kicks to H+ when you need it. This is a feature to save battery.
Blue symbols means you are connected to google servers - gray means you are not
Symbol equals>
G=GPRS
E=EDGE
3G=3G
H=HSDPA/HSPA
H+=HSDPA+/HSPA+
4G=LTE
You must have I337 recovery to flash this ROM or you will get error 7. task650
This is usually caused by a corrupt download, or bad file signature. Re-downloading (or re-signing) the ZIP will usually fix this - check MD5 sum.
Update or try a different recovery.
Remove the build assert in the updater-script.

SD CARD
there is a known issue with apps being unable to write to the external card. Symptoms: you may be able to copy files to the external card or create folders using a file explorer, but apps (TiBu, Dolphin browser, camera, others can't use the external card as a save location, and you can't change properties or delete files/folders. You can still read files (i.e. restore existing backups from TiBu, play music) without problems. This is an issue with the JB build and they're working on fixing it. This does NOT affect CWM - you can still nandroid to the external card alacrify
Here is a guide for formatting external SD card without reader are here.

Will my 64 gb sd card work? Except it works fine with a 64GB card. http://rootzwiki.com/topic/28124-doe...card-standard/ The SGSIII is the first phone to support exfatl, but the support is Kernel based, some people are having trouble with the replacement kernels and exfat support. The solution is to force it to format in FAT32. http://www.online-tech-tips.com/comp...ive-to-fat-32/ I know, because I've done it. --- Don't respond without actually doing research. I have no problem spoon feeding information, especially when the information you put out there can increase misinformation. The SGSII also supports a 64GB card as well. http://androidforums.com/samsung-gal...ing-sgsii.html

Facebook won't sync. Try Friendcaster or facebook_contact_sync.
FAST CHARGE
Storage options will not work with fast charge on.
FAUX SOUND
Faux_sound_in_Playstore
Task has added patches to be able to use this. It is worth the money.
Disable HW to stop flickering
Disable HW tick will not stick after reboot. This is the way it is suppose to be. This will still help with any type of flickering, usually.
If you are having some weird sh!t going on.
Redownload rom and gapps
Wipe data factory reset
Wipe dalvik and cache
In mounts and storage select Format System
Then flash rom and gapps
Reboot task650
Gapps
You must flash Gapps AFTER every flash of the ROM.
Use the Gapps in Task's OP or don't bring any problems caused from other gapps to his ROM thread.
Sometimes you may have to flash Gapps twice - they have been notorious for not taking the first time.
Read the OP to see if a new version of gapps is required.
Google now
Phone language has to be set to english for google now to work.
My google apps are working correctly. If it was just the play store force closing all you would've needed to do is reflash gapps. gapps is notorious for not taking the first try. but you always have to flash gapps after a rom install and make sure to clear cache and dalvik. no issues should occur if those steps are taken. Task. Make sure you are using the correct gapps!
Task and Ktoon do not support google wallet. There are fixes available but don't ask Task or Ktoon to fix it.
You can't remove the google search bar with default launcher but you can with nova or apex.
GPS
GPS not working correctly isn't always the ROMS fault. Sometimes its the satellites.
Make sure you have internel GPS selected.
Try flashing original stock and then come back to this rom if you have flashed a TW based rom.
To change your number of home screens
You must use Apex or Nova launcher, possibly some other third party launcher. But the default launcher will not allow you to do this.
You must use Nova or a third paryt home screen to disable search bar.
If you flash other things like inverted gapps or change things from the original packaging of this rom and something goes wrong or doesnt work. Think about it. We cannot support those issues here. This thread is for this rom and gapps that are posted in the OP. Thanks. task650
Inverted gapps are awesome but not supported in Tasks thread.
If you are using inverted gapps and having problems - full wipe and reinstall rom and gapps in the OP and see if problem still persists.
Go here for support of inverted gapps. > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2138156
IRC
Task has started and IRC channel for his rom. ##Task650_AOKP
KERNEL:
If you are using any kernel other than the one packaged with this ROM please post questions and problems to the appropiate kernel thread.
you need to understand that all devices are NOT created equally. one kernel might work awesome on my device while at the same time it may work horrible on your device. so to say that Ktoonsez says it works awesome, that means it works awesome for him. It has nothing to do with how it will work for you. If the symptoms that you're talking about are happening with that kernel it's obvious that your device doesn't like that kernel. Easy fix. Use a different one.
If you are using Ktoon's awesome kernel and experiencing problems, try reflashing with the kernel included with this ROM and see if the problem still persists. This may help understanding if the problem is kernel or ROM related and will help benefit development of both.You can full wipe and reflash rom and gapps to be back on original kernel.
If you wish to run another kernel other than what comes with the rom, Task suggest loading rom with included kernel, set up phone, then flash the kernel you want.
Governor/IO scheduler
Change these in performace control in settings
If you do not tick set on boot they will revert upon reboot.
This is a safety check in so you can try settings out before you make them permanent.
Last report in Feb is that Task uses row and interactive as his settings.
LED
LED charging works exactly as it should.
0%-%10 = Red
%10-%90 = Yellow
%90-100 = Green
You can't change the colors for LED Charging unless you download the source and rewrite that portion of code.
You can only change the colors for the Notification LEDs not battery indication color.
Make sure you have "pulse notification light" checked - uncheck to turn LED notification off.
Some colors will not work. Test LED color before relying on it.
Go here for some LED color talk. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1890774
DO NOT USE LIGHTFLOW WITH THIS PHONE - DOESN'T WORK WELL. LED CONTROL WORKS FINE ON ITS OWN.
To set LED for miss phones calls>>
choose Activities>Contacts>Phone/ activities.CallLogActivities
Please do not post links for Task's ROM or gapps. He wants to keep count of downloads. Thanks.
If you don't have LTE in your area it's not draining your battery.
AT&T is phasing out the old non LTE apn either way so we will all be using the same "LTE" apn. Network mode has nothing to do with you if your on AT&T service. That's only for the Canadians.
Also see 14 and 15 in FAQ post 1.
MD5 sum is located in goo.im via download link.
MODEMS
This ROM does not include a modem. You will have whatever you had.
Modems are location based. Try this and see which one works best for you.
Any modem questions should go HERE.
OTA Updates
OTA updater is a convienence. If you have problems using the OTA update just flash manually through CWM or TWRP.

RIBBONS
If you can't delete the icons in ribbons just use the menu and reset them.
Ringtones​
There is not a repeating ringtone on this rom(AOKP). Get a longer ringtone if you want more notification.
More RomControl Settings added
It will take some time to get all the rom control settings back in, be patient.
If you see a major update as in a new kernel, some items will take some time to be added back.
ROM CONTROL: This is a very customizable rom, please spend some time and learn the many features it has.
ROM MANAGER APP
It is advised not to use ROM MANAGER APP. Notorious for causing problems.
SCREEN SHOT
To take a screen shot hold volume down and power button at the same time.
You can add screenshot option to the power menu.
Changing the color of Signal and wifi only changes the color in text mode.
SMS/MMS
MMS not downloading
Some suggestions offered that have helped people with MMS.
Add "hipri" in your APN type and save. This has been reported by several people to help.
This is being seen on several phones with different roms and even iphones. Call ATT.
Try auto retrieve on.
Set Authentication type to "none"
In text client make sure "auto retrieve" is checked in all boxes.
This ROM does not having a problems sending MMS. It is most likely an ATT problem. But you can double check your APN to make sure it is not on your end.
If you are using a third party app to SMS/MMS it is not supported by Task.
If you want to use the quick reply option make sure you have it checked in settings.
SOUND/VOLUME
If you are not getting sounds on something check your quite hours.
Make sure you have not accidentally toggled silent/vibrate.
Take a look at THIS in the play store. It's awesome.
Swag Pink hat - It's a joke. Either you have it or you don't. As cool as Task makes this phone he can't actually help you in this area.
Themes
If you are having graphical glitches and using a theme, try removing any theme and see if it still persists.
CM10 themes should work on this rom but if you encounter problems do not bring it to the thread.
Go HERE for themes.
Toggles
Are located in ROM control
The toggle for DATA is called SIGNAL
TOUCHWIZ FEATURES:
This is an AOSP rom, touchwiz(sammy) features are not incorporated into this rom. Reason you ask? Framework!!!
Chances are something you want from TW is probably in the app store.
Voicemail number missing. Use your call forwarding number.
Try this for ATT visual voicemail.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1641981
If your wifi won't stay on while phone goes to sleep check settings to keep on during sleep.
If your phone sometimes drops wifi check settings and uncheck avoid poor connections.
These are found under advanced settings in WIFI.
If you are having problems connecting or using tethering try changing your SSID and try unsecured.
Most of the time lack of WIFI connectivity is usually cause by router settings or router itself.
ROGERS WIFI TETHER
Tether will not work on 4G/LTE unless you use a third party app.
Task can not test/fix since he obviously doesn't have a rogers phone.
Changing the color of WIFI/signal colors only changes the color in text mode.

Troubleshooting/Comprehensive Re-flash
(Optional, but recommended) Back up any apps you may want restored (Titanium Backup's batch mode (a PROfeature) makes this painless! Set TB batch filters to User type only. DO NOT RESTORE SYSTEM DATA! Hell, don't even back them up.
Re-download the latest version of the ROM and Google Apps (even if it's the same version you have) from the OP. It's possible you may have a corrupted download.
Reboot into recovery. Follow the process below exactly, and there should be no NEED for a kernel cleaning script.
Wipe cache partition
Advanced > Wipe Dalvik Cache
(Optional, but recommended) Mounts and Storage > mount /system & /data
Install zip from sdcard > choose zip from sdcard (wherever you saved the download) > Flash [ROM] AOKP Task & Ktoonsez Run a Train (version)(TGFY ONLINE!!!).zip
(Optional, but recommended) Mounts and Storage > mount /system & /data
Install zip from sdcard > choose zip from sdcard (wherever you saved the download) > Flash gapps-jb-(version)-signed.zip Jelly bean version only
Reboot
PS. Sometimes all that is needed is a reboot again. Doesn't hurt to try it.
Test ROM, BEFORE restoring *any data* (if you did a full reset). DON'T RESTORE SYSTEM DATA! You have been told twice!
Fixing permissions in CWM/TWRP helps fix MANY *random* glitches.
If you still encounter problems, do a FULL reset ( Recovery > Wipe data/factory reset) & follow the steps again. THEN, you can report issues!
You may have to redownload ROM and/or Gapps. Sometimes you can get a corrupt download that will cause issues. It happens.

You could pull the stock boot animation from a stock rom and replace the boot animation Task includes. Not sure why anyone would want to do that, but hey, to each their own.

Tried it, didn't work not sure why....get black screen after the samsung galaxy, which is the reason I posted here because I am not familiar with AOKP/AOSP..first one I have actually stick to for more than an hour. And Lol, because I actually like it? Why I want to do that.
Thx for the help though, will figure it out after work.

Expanded Notification
I will ask the question here, I have been looking but my google-fu is not serving me well, I really enjoy this ROM and I have tried many others(read ALL) and Task always brings me back. I also know Task doesn't do request, so I wont go down that road. I am wondering if any of you are aware of a way to have the notification behavior as always expanded. A few ROMS (AOSP based) have the option
"Notifications Behavior (Always Expand, Never Expand, Normal, Old Style" but its not found in AOKP. Anyone aware of a way or ran across a way \ to implement it? Thanks, I will continue looking.

Problem: no data connectivity, only voice, in one area of my town. By that I mean, I have 4 full signal bars, but they're gray. No data connection indicator of any kind.
Scenario: my wife and I both have the 6/18 build on our tmo gs4's. When I enter a particular area of town, the central part, that normally has 4g+, both of our data dies and I only have voice and sms. The weird part is, when I'm running another rom like something stock based or CM10, this doesn't happen. I have not changed my modem, still on MDB.
I called tmo and they aren't seeing any service problems in that area. I'm wondering if maybe there's some type of tweak or data setting that might be causing this. Has anyone experienced a similar issue? I'm willing to change some settings or test something.

Tmo called me back today and said there's a problem with the tower. There we have it.

Anyone else not able to get past SGS4 boot screen on 6/24 build? Checked my MD5's, redownloaded, redownloaded, reinstalled, per Task's directions.
Nothing. Help.
Update: Fresh install 6/18 build with no problems.

Anyone know how to go about getting watch on to work with the new update since he added the ir blaster in the new build.

Tell Samsung to either make the app open source (they won't) or tell them to add AOSP support (they wont). In other words, it an app solely made for touchwhiz based ROMs.

Absolutely should work, however, you have some homework to do in order to ensure success. You will need a new recovery, new radio and might need to jump to ICS first, not sure. One other thing I would recommend is turning on your GPS and getting a GPS lock before rebooting to flash a new radio, recovery and ROM if coming from GingerBread as you are...
Head on over to Vincom's 1-Stop Sticky Thread, which contains information all about the SGH-i727 Skyrocket, and the T-Mobile Dev Thread. The Hercules is almost identical and hardware, and most Skyrocket ROMs should work on both, with maybe one issue of screen orientation (turned 90 degrees).
There are radio links in the OP of my SlimKat Hercules thread.
Read up in those threads, and then find a newer recovery and radio that you need need to proceed.

Thank to Slimrom
I'm very happy to keep my old pal (T989) on working everyday with Slimrom.
I change from CM11 to Slimkat build 7 serveral months agos.
I flashed by zip with CWM, it was working but couldn't reboot by default, dark screen and no response anything. I think it was my fault.
Then I restored and flashed it again with Rom Manager, it's successful.
With mini gapps pack, Rom (build 7) works like a charm. Then I disabled some google services for better RAM and speed (for example Hangout is kinda heavy)
Herein is some point that I think could make it better:
There is no option to change launcher ( Nova launcher by default)
There is no option to change/customize clock widget on LockScreen (DashClock Widget by default)
Recent Apps function: didn't show the latest using app on the list (when my current screen is homescreen).
Recent Apps function: Couldn't access to previous app (Close App error)
Step to reproduce: If you're using App A, then App B, you try to access App A via Recent Apps function. Then error message "Close App" will be display. But luckily I've found my own way to resolve, just change to random App C, then back to App A as usual (a little bit unconvenience but it was not a problem)
Notification couldn't updated by user behavior. For example, I have notification for new message on Viber, then i access Viber to check a new message ( do not touch on Notification ), so this notification will be remained for a long time ( until I touch on it for re-read)
I couln't tested with build 8 due to camera error ( couldn't handle camcorder function, couldn't focus) but I'm really happy with the build 7.
Thank you.

Stable version 8? No such issues have been reported. Bugreport?
One Skyrocket user has reported the inability to receive casks in WEEKLY version 8.12.1. He went back to weekly version 8.10 and incoming calls are working. These phones share a lot of source code.
It must be caused by something merged since the 8.12.1 WEEKLY.

Yes. 8.0 stable release from the site slim-hercules-4-4-4-build-8-0-official-6919
as for the bug report I panicked since I needed the phone in working state withing an hour so I flashed the stock firmware back so not much help from me now . But yeah I called a phone in the household and phone was making a call its just I couldn't hear the dialing tone and when the second person picked up it was dead silence on my side.
This is not he first time I had this issue previously I tried cyanogenmod 10.2.0 stable and had the same issue out of nowhere after month of working just fine

Thanks for the feedback. Full wipe, including /data wipe or factory reset?

You have to allow lock screen widgets, then drag it off the screen and add what you want.

No problem. Sounds like a radio issue though or dirty flash.

I'm using the build by Dan that fixed calling, and I'm getting a huge memory leak problem. The Base System process would start using 100 MB to 200 MB of my RAM, while hogging a part of my CPU at all times. I was watching a video earlier and noticed my CPU usage jumped to 100% and the available RAM started going around 200 MB before the system killed my on-screen system stats display (Cool Tool). I didn't have any other apps running and nothing was being updated at that moment. The video started getting choppy and my phone froze soon after. If you need a log from me, I'll be happy to provide one.

Have you tried the 8.16 weekly from the Slim site, or the test build I posted? Either way, there shouldn't have been any changes (that I made, at least) which would cause such a memory leak...
Clean flash? What GApps version? What app were you using to watch video? YouTube has had some intermittent issues, and I have also heard of recent Google Play Services issues...
If you can start a new thread in the Slim Hercules forum and post a good description with a Slim bugreport, it may be helpful. See Post 2 of the main thread for more details on helping to squash any bugs.

After I installed the rom, the slim gapps, and supersu, my phone did not boot up and did not even show a bootanimation. I tried going into recovery to restore a backup but it would not enter recovery mode. There would just be gentle vibrations and then a black screen. I was using TWRP v2.8.4.0. I would prefer to avoid the hassle of flashing through odin. Please help, thank you.

Can you get to download mode? With phone off, hold both Vol Up & Vol Dn while plugging a computer USB cable in.
Sounds like a bad flash, bad download, recovery issue, or possible h/w problem. The fact that you can't get to recovery suggests a recovery or h/w issue to me.
Does the below work for Recovery mode?
Press and hold Vol Up, Vol Dn and Power for 2 seconds, then release Power but continue holding Vol Up & Vol Dn until recovery loads.

I've been using this rom for 2 days now and everything works. I've found that swipe on the Android keyboard doesn't work. Other than that great rom and great job!

Charging notification on home screen?
It's not a big deal at all, love the rom, but just today I noticed after I took it off the charger the lock screen still says charging. I don't know if it's just me but I figured I'd mention it.

When I use "quick reply" to respond to a text from the stock texting app, it'll reply fine but it leaves the message that I replied to as unread.
Is anyone else experiencing this?

Video Playback
Is there any known issue with playback of videos from Facebook? Both in app and on Chrome I get a message saying "sorry an unknown error occurred while trying to play this video." Anything that tries to use the native video player I would think.

sorry, im new, so i do not understand " Flash SuperSU " ????my phone was rooted!!! and i updated this rom, i skipped the step "Flash SuperSU ". and my phone seem to be not rooted completely. so anyone please show me how to Flash SuperSU ??? and i could try again!!

Has anyone reported the "Stay Awake" doesn't seem to... well... work. I mean technically Im not chargging as I'm at 100% but still. Dims, turns off, then I have to unlock.
Sorry if this was already reported.

Battery Style
I know there are lots of other things to work on, but is there any way we can get dotted circle battery or other custom battery icons. Would LOVE it. Hell I'm no sure if CM has this. Also so far so good on the "always on" behavior. Seems to be working as it should! Kudos keep up the good work. Love this rom!

rooting and flashing custom roms is a serious business. When a step is listed it makes no sense to skip. Do you have a recovery loaded and functional? If you do, download a flashable superuser zip and flash in recovery. If not, better sharpen your search skills and find how to proceed.
again, devs list steps for a reason

Google account?
Hey, I'm new around here although not new to rooting phones, and flashing Rom's. However when it came to flashing a CM mod or a euphoria mod, I had no idea as to how to sign in with my Google account to get my contacts and everything into my phone. Must I have GApps downloaded? If so, how do I flash it? Just do a dirty flash? Any and all help is greatly appreciated! Really really love the euphoria mod for the g3 but I MUST be able to sign into Google.

I believe the devs list having to flash a gapps program as a part of the steps of installing a CM rom.

Is anyone else having an issue with NFC? I didn't see anything mentioned in the threads, my apologies if this is a known bug.
Everything else seems to be running pretty great.

baked-in density change issue
Hello graig79,
First all thank you for such a great rom.
Small issue i noticed seems baked-in density changer no longer works. It certainly worked on your previous version. I noticed if you set the number then leave the settings menu altogether and come back it doesn't even same what number you set to.
Not sure If this is due to a custom change you applied or a change from cm.
Thought i mention it.
Thanks again.

Downloads?
Loving the ROM! However ive encountered something that might just be a problem on my side but whenever i try to download something from the internet browser, it tells me that it cannot be downloaded. The directory it tries to save files too i believe it doesnt exist. Is there a way i can change where files are being saved? Thanks again.

Great job guys. Going to wait till a more stable build but you guys should be very proud of yourselfs. None the less this is great work. Made my day knowing there are people like you guys.

Build you just posted
Just downloaded it and tested, the issues with the navbar/status bar etc. are still there.
Can' t wait for this to be finished, thanks for the hard work.

I just got to flashing this
I don't get navbars, status bar, or notifications shade either.
Volume buttons do nothing, trying to change brightness crashes Settings, there is no power menu.
The default CM12.1 wallpaper is also missing (black screen) and there is an icon missing from the dock.
Strange.
I couldn't test the camera (because I can't navigate anything without back or home buttons), so I can't say much about that.
Keep up the good work though, I'm more than willing to test any new builds!
Keep us posted!

Camera m9 sense port
Has anyone tried using the sense port for all aosp roms from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/themes-apps/mod-htc-one-m9-camera-port-t3056305
To see if that makes the camera work?

After flashing the 2 June build and then the current build, all seems to be working.

Interested....however need 2.8 firmware as base and everything working good battery life before I make the transition which I'm guessing could be awhile. Dolby audio also very important.. will keep checking thread for updates thanks for your efforts
Sent from my HTC One M9 using XDA Free mobile app

In safe mode :/
I installed it and everything but it boots into safe mode, problem is when i try to turn it off using power button it just restarts phone into safe mode without asking to power off or anything! Anyone got anything?

Not sure if OP or any of the devs are reading the Q&A section,
but I've been using the latest build (with the 2 June flash before, of course) on 1.32.* as my daily ROM since the statusbar/softkeys fix was posted.
Some interesting negatives/bugs I've noticed:
No double tap to wake
Battery usage data never shows up
Cannot search for service providers (Get an error, but selecting auto works and finds the correct carrier)
Possibly unrelated but the quick settings tiles for the notifications shade are extremely limited (No volume or independent brightness tiles, et cetera. I think these need to be implemented by the rom developer, as they exist for other CM12.1 devices on official roms)
Otherwise, I think all is working fine. (Well, minus what was marked "broken" (camera, USB OTG, ...) but it looks like there were recent commits on github for the SoC, so maybe this or a fix for newer frameworks is coming!)
Battery life is better than sense, and everything is much snappier. Xposed works (using v65 for now), as do most lollipop modules. (Except Amplify which blocks no wakelocks, but I think this is an arm64 issue because many M9 users are reporting this in the Amplify thread, even on Sense/"stock" roms.)
If anyone sees this (with more than 10 posts lol) please direct OP to the Q&A section so he can see these issues.
I'll continue to use this for now, I haven't had the reboot problem other people are experiencing.
If there's anything someone would like me to test, I'm more than willing, just let me know.

I think the actual rom implementation (drivers/firmware) is the problem with the camera.|
It turns out that mods removed the download link in that thread anyway.
Sorry!

Unofficial cm 12.1 hima
I have flashed the ROM as instructed ... And all works well until the phone goes to "sleep". I an unable to wake the device. I have to power off and reboot phone. Is there a fix for this?

Downgrading Firmware
I've frankly had quite enough of the Sense UI, however, after flashing this ROM, I experienced the sporadic reboots and navbar issues which many other users have posted about. Some say that flashing back to the 1.32 firmware (in my case from 2.7) will fix the issue, but won't this bring back overheating issues and terrible performance?

@BananaMasamune and @rickymartel01,
Did you both flash the 2 June build before the 5 July build? That seems to have fixed navbar issues for most people.
Downgrading firmware fixed sleep and reboot problems for most of us as well.
I was never on 2.x so I'm not sure about performance problems, but it definitely feels faster and more fluid than Sense on 1.32.x

European
Is it working for European device?

Is it working for Eruropean devices?

@dreznik82,
My device isn't from the United States, and it works for me.
Check to see if your phone is GSM or CDMA.
There is a list on HTC's website somewhere that lists carriers, and tells what version of the phone they have. Many of the GSM phones are WWE (world-wide edition, international) and can be used with this.

Nice work
Good work guys. How long you reckon it would take to get this as a stable nightly build once broken items have been resolved?

Also no status bar and navigation bar on mine as well

Does anyone know if xposed works ?

fix for downgrade
could you try to fix the ''downgrade'' problem in the next update?
because I am not able to downgrade (don't know why)
thanks

@Galaxysm , Xposed works.
@Rogi1997 , Are you S-Off?
