Okay so I'm trying to help my girlfriend flash CM11 on her Galaxy S3 i747 (US AT&T). Everything is just fine. I did not use the installer. I rooted, flashed TWRP (latest from the website), downloaded CM11 M12 from official download website and flashed it. Everything is working. Except for Skype. When it's a voice call, it's just fine. But as soon as she turns her camera on to start a video chat, it works for about five seconds, then Skype crashes. Here's the weird (and very irritating) part. This isn't limited to this ROM. I've tried CM11 M3 (yes. I went that low), I've tried AOKP (which got stuck in a bootloop at first boot, gave up), and Paranoid Android, LiquidSmooth, SlimKat. All from XDA, and the latest versions possible. They all have the exact same problem. Stock camera app works fine in all (except for a few times in which case a soft reboot fixed it.) I'm at a loss of ideas here. I've even tried a combination of running a different kernel. I tried running ParanoidAndroid with a Quantum 6 kernel. But still the exact same problem. Nothing I try seems to work.
I would go back to stock, but she likes iPhone emojis. So I wanna flash a 4.4.x+ ROM so I can change the emojis after rooting. Colored emojis aren't possible on Android 4.3 and below. And there is no official 4.4 ROM for this phone. What else should I try? Am I missing something?
Also, if I turn MY camera on, then her Skype shows my video stream just fine. Never crashes. It's only when she turns HER camera on the S3 that it starts to be stupid. All other apps work fine. We've been working on this for two weekends now.
I'm not new to flashing and rooting. Been doing it for a long time now with my phones and other people. But this is driving me nuts.
Bootloader and modem work fine. I flashed the bootloader to I747UCDMG2 and the modem to the same I747UCDMG2 before flashing CM11 for the first time. I don't wanna update the bootloader to I747UCUEMJB because Knox. (I had to deal with that on my phone, so no thank you.) Plus I don't think the bootloader has something to do with this, does it? If it's any help, I run an unofficial CM12 5.0.2 on a GT-i9500. I'll be grateful to anyone who can at least give me an idea of what Skype's deal is.
Have you tried installing a custom ROM with the stock Samsung camera app?

Don't I need a Samsung kernel for that? And do you mean like a port from the stock i747 OS? I think it has something to do with the kernel and not the ROM since this bug is not ROM exclusive. It happens on everything.

The CM camera isn't the most stable ever and all those roms build from the same tree if I'm not mistaken. Also there is an official 4.4 update for the S3.

Yes. TW based ROM works fine. I did an nandroid backup before flashing and when I restore it, it works just fine. But all other custom ROMs have this problem.

What ROMs are okay to flash if you have the Knox bootloader. Im so confused about this Knox thing. Ive read if it doesnt change your bootloader you will be fine and others saying i have to wait for a stok mk3 .tar (i do believe thats the right one) file to be available. one dev posted a rooted 4.3 rom and he said this wont mess with the bootloader. im just nervous dont want to brick my phone. someone please help and shed some light on this confusing situation
This should be Q and A section, and Cnexus posted a FAQ about this in general section....

If you want a simple answer, then here it is: you can flash any rom you want.
Only one catch: do not EVER Odin a full stock tar with version < MK3 to your device or you will instantly brick.

I've been running it with ART and I haven't had it reboot on me yet. I think once I was doing something with the camera gallery and the camera 'broke" and required a restart but I can't remember if that was when I was playing with cm10.2 or cm11.

The original ROM checks for "know" baseband versions to make sure you dont try flashing the ROM on the wrong device. I had to unpack the ROM, add support for the new baseband and then repack the ROM inorder to get it to install. I also change he kernel cmdline to set SELinux to permissive mode by default (like it was in 4.3). I will post the tweaked ROM shortly.

I use AOSPA and don't have any of those problems. Well technically I can't say any since I haven't tried calling yet but none if the other problems. Did you clean flash or dirty flash? Also, did you mean your recovery is CWM? I've never heard if cfw.

You have to expect occasional bugs with any aosp roms.... The devs have done a great job keeping this device current.... Considering official support ended with 4.1.2.
If you want total stability on your phone.... Stock 4.1.2 TouchWiz might suit you best.
Just my 2 cents. ?

You might try using a stable Jelly Bean ROM that's been around for a while, such as the older builds of CyanogenMod (10.1.3), AOKP (JB-MR1), SlimBean 4.2.2, etc. If you still have a bad experience with those, you should probably go back to stock. You can always root and install Xposed on stock for extra tweaks.
Good evening everyone. I recently got this phone from the Black Friday deal at Best Buy for 80$ and rooted and did all of that without much problem. I installed the Wicked ROM without any issues, and tested it out but I prefer AOSP. But when I flash Cyanogen or Bliss, I lose all of the mobile data , the baseband, here I include a screenshot. I have flashed a stock ROM once again, activated it again without any problem, but when I try to flash an AOSP ROM again I lose everything. Is there anything I can do about that? I have searched the forums and Google and found no solutions. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Did you check to make sure that the md5 matched? Anytime I've had that happen either the md5 didn't match, or I needed to use a different kernel. My Goto kernel for AOSP ROMs has been BMS.

Thanks for the tip, tried flashing Cyanogenmod with that kernel and the same thing happens, I lose all of the settings related to the Baseband, Modem and IMEI. I checked the md5 and it matches completely. I have no idea what is happening. For now I settled into the Conquest Singulalirty ROM which provides an ASJOP look but on offical firmware. But still I would like to know how to solve this problem so if anyone has any tips that would be greatly appreciated.
Is your phone the L710T model by any chance? I had the same problem with every rom I tried EXCEPT for Gummy 3.0. For some reason Gummy 3.0 recognizes my baseband/modem but if I try Gummy 4.0 or any other AOSP rom, no baseband.

Flash the file here: http://androidforums.com/threads/mo...apn-fix-wip-cm-aosp-4-4-x.840298/#post6516416
It will modify necessary files in the system to allow you to connect. Also, dial ##72786# to reactivate after flashing. That all worked for me on my Virgin S3 running Carbon. Good luck!
The SPH-L710T is what was on sale at BestBuy for $80 (as I found out after running into a similar problem), and it's a pain in the ass. It seems that TW ROMs are the only ones that don't break the radio... and the M10 snapshot of CM11 apparently (except rotation is backwards). I'm looking for a fix as well.
It seems that all of this can be fixed by a custom kernel, but there's no AOSP/CM kernel (that I know of) that fixes both.
I wish I knew something about kernel development...

That is exactly the one that I have, the 80$ Best Buy from Black Friday. Yeah, I tried what metalhead131 said and it did not work. Hmmm, M10 snapshot worked for you? I will try it out them to see how it goes. In what way did it break the rotation? It does not rotate or is it inaccurate? It is a pain in the ass that we have so many ROMS available but we can't use them. I have been using the Conquest Singularity by Moon Knight. The one that is here in XDA is kinda of outdated but if you Google it you will find his blog with the latest update. He created an AOSP looking ROM but it is TW underneath. That combined with Gravity Box has satisfied me for now, but I hate no being able to flash AOSP ROMS. I know nothing about kernel development, but if someone wants to help with this I can provide anything they need in order to fix this problem with this T version of the phone.
I will try to take the kernel of the M10 and flash it with another ROM to see if the rotation works. I will update as soon as I do that.

Yeah, the radio worked with the M10 snapshot. I was able to get the latest version of ParanoidAndroid to work with the M10 snapshot kernel as well.
When I say rotation is broken I mean when you hold it sideways, it rotates the wrong way, so it's upside down.

Excellent. Thanks for the good news! That doesn't bother me that much, so I will do that with the Bliss ROM that I wanted to install. I will keep investigating and trying things to see if we can fix the rotation issue. I will keep the thread updated.
Semi-Fix for the rotation issue on the M10 kernel.
After checking some apps out, I found one that worked well for the rotation problem using AOSP ROMS on the troublesome SPH-L710T. The app is called Adaptive Rotation Lock and is available for free on the Play Store. What it does is that a little button pops up everytime you rotate your phone, and if you don't click that button the screen will not rotate. So once you put your phone horizontallly, click on the button that pops up to allow the phone to rotate upside-down, then rotate the phone so it is not upside-down anymore, but do not click the button, so it stays in the correct rotation. It is a little cumbersome, but it beats always being upside down while using the phone horizontally! I think this is a good option while we find out how to fix this issue in the kernel.

Greeting kdude63. Thanks to your tips I was able to test many roms and as you settled on Paranoid Android. The only problem I have right now is that intermittently point I lose cell coverage for like 2 minutes, but then I get it back. Does that happen on your phone?
I have also tried many kernels to see if I find another one that works but no go. I am still using the M10 boot.img. Have you found another one that works?
And thanks for helping out with the ODIN tar for this phone! It makes me feel a lot more safe when I am experimenting.

I don't currently use PA or CM as my daily driver, so I don't know. (I don't like dealing with the rotation issues)
I was testing some other kernels earlier, none of them worked before I got careless and accidentally flashed an i9300 kernel, so I can't use my phone for the time being.

The debrick image for the T model was just barely posted last week in Android Forms....and there is a thread in the questions section here on XDA that has it linked

Yep, I flashed it normally. Using Philz I got the Wicked 8 zip file and a couple of the addons that are available without any problems but since I don't like the Touchwiz UI too much I am currently running Conquest. Maybe try the full Wicked 8 zip? I did not try the barebones, but I can confirm that Wicked 8 works on the T model. It has the rotation issue but a couple of post ago I described how to get around that. Let me know if it works!

i was finally able to flash bare-bones i had to flash the updated kernel i used for Conquest beta 10
I'm glad! At least we can use Touchwiz based ROMs while we can find a way to create a kernel that is completely compatible with the T model. Is your rotation working correctly?

Yes rotation is working and with the next few updates on CM side they will be fully working on the T model cause CM already updated a fix for the T model
I got spooked when the baseband disappeared and rotation was not working. Went back to stock. Of course you also seem to need the special 2.7 twrp in order to mount system. But the price was right.

hello. recently updated by my I747 custom recovery NE4 to mj1. since I updated, is giving me problems signal, it overheats and few things more. I feel that this upgrade is giving me problems. my question is? I can go back to the stock rom NE4? and if you can, how serious the procedure?

if your bootloader/modem is nj1 , which i assume you mean by recovery , you cannot downgrade !! it will brick your phone. perhaps using a custom kernel would help.
"all i can really do , is stay out of my own way and let the will of heaven be done"
thx. in that area I can get a custom kernel with support nj1?

One thing to keep in mind is that there are custom TouchWiz kernel and custom AOSP kernels. Don't put a custom AOSP kernel on a TouchWiz ROM, or vice versa. You can sometimes find both kernels in the same post if a dev maintains both. So pay attention to which you download based on the ROM you are running.

Sure you can install a custom kernel.
The stock rom is a TouchWiz based rom, so you would want a TouchWiz (TW) kernel. You can find kernel threads in the dev subforum. I am using the kernel that came with my rom and have not experimented with it or any others. This leaves me with no recommendation as to what would be better for you. All I can say is read the threads and see which ones work with the stock ROM.
Have you check to see what is using the most battery during the times your phone is running hot? This may give you an idea of what is causing the problem.

yes. I was very hot and the battery lasts me neither. thx
I have tried a few roms now, CM10, CM11, CM12, Team UB or something. The magnetic sensor just goes either haywire in circles or is frozen in place and never moves on any app. I just want a nice smooth feeling, good performing, stable rom for my S4 mini LTE I-9195
I would appreciate your recommendations.

A bit off topic though. I am looking for smooth, perfectly functional roms for my S4 mini LTE. I really want to experience a custom rom experience, but one where everything works as it should (or better).
Just try it its the best...

Do you have a link to it?
Also, when a rom says you should flash a stick 4.4.2 and then do a full wipe and install their rom, why does it need a stock 4.4.2 if it's wiped in the very next step?
Because the recovery its diferent stock recovery from a custom recovery... And you need a full wipe for a clean rom (stock recovery) then a custom recovery and a new rom
But if you already have cyanogen or something, you already have a custom recovery. So why install a fresh 4.4.2 and then wipe and install a custom recovery? Maybe I am missing something.
ploiki rom is the best

Im using stock 4.4.2 with xposed. Works great but starting to get bored of it now. Only reason I havent switched again is because I like the fact that stock has no bugs. Small bugs like misspelled words etc irritate me in custom roms
Try the carbon rom, it's amazing...
Spit on ploiki's rom !
Silesh Nair was/is the best dev we had.
Liquid smooth milestone is the one !! :good:

I went through all the folders for S4 mini LTE and it was empty.
After several experiences with CM 12 and CM 12 based, I got stability, great battery life. So far I can say bug free in RR 2.3.8. But I'm convinced that it is a particular case.
I do not use more GAPPS. I think that helped. But not only that.
Inexplicably in my experience only could stability following a certain script for installation. Out of it the results were always unpredictable.
Bur I think CM 12 and CM 12 based are very close to stability. Soon it will occur.

If it is not on the official page, as far as I am concerned it does not exist. I'm not about to go installing roms I get from people on G+. I am giving CM10.2 another try. Sometimes I boot up and the compass works. Most times it does not. But if I have to put up with not having directional awareness when nagivating so that I end up with (hopefully) a more secure, better on battery life phone then I will give it a try.
