Lollipop Thoughts and other ramblings

$
0
0
Well I haven't seen a general lollipop thread so I wanted to start one. The Pub seems like a nice place but since there's so much talk on there about everything in general, info could become hard to find. I do like the pub and read it every so often.

That said. I may or may not update the op with links posted. But most know where to find things if they look hard enough.

What I've found so far are AICP, Liquid, Mastamoon's CM, and a Slimpop build. I've tried AICP and Liquid. Thus far I've not been impressed with Lollipop, to each their own though. It looks okay, seems to run great, (I didn't do any benches, rather relying on the seat of the pants feel), I realize our device is getting at the age where not a lot of further development may happen. But it's still one of the few newer phones that you don't have to jump though hoops to install a rom.

What I'm asking if anything, is what have you tried, and why do you like or dislike it. Again, I know it's early especially for the d2vzw, but builds are out and are fairly stable, on AICP I never had a single reboot that I can recall. I'm going to try the latest Liquid tonight. I don't understand the new DD layers or whatever it is. I think it's a new way of theming possibly used by slim and maybe now liquid since I think they're using slim as a base now according to their thread in original development.

I'm backing up my favorite KK build now. Don't know if I want to try slim first or liquid. Both have builds dated 02-07 and 02-08 respectively.

If you dislike it I assume you're still running KK, or JB. In this case, I'd like to know if you're running a custom TW JB rom such as alliance or Moar or Wicked or anything else. And why. I am in an area where signal is ****. And although I'd imagine TW should get better signal, I'm not seeing a huge difference here. Maybe if I could get 3-5 DB/m better I'd stay on TW JB, but I'd have to make some measurments first. Signal on Lollipop seemed better but it can't be because I'd assume they're using the exact same RIL as on KK. Again, if I'm wrong on any of this please fill me in.

If there is another thread to follow that has already addressed all this let me know.

NF5 Rooting Progress

I believe this section is dead for the most part...
As many of you should know, those of us who took the OTA update have no way of rooting if towel root does not work... (Futex patched)
However there is hope!
I am not very knowledgable about exploits or reverse engineering...

There are two exploits that may be able to get us root when combined.
CVE-2014-7911(gets us system uid)
Cve-2014-4322(goes from system to root)

There is public poc code to do this...
However we need something...
I am working on getting the kernel symbols

[Q] Unlock Galaxy S3 Verizon

Can someone please give me the step by step on how to unlock my version of the GS3. It is Android version 4.4.2. Model SCH-I535. Kernal version 3.4.0. Hardware version I535.10. I have read some places about downloading ODIN and some other things, but do I download to my phone or to my computer.

Suitable Cameras for S3 running 5.0 / 5.1+? My thoughts on current options

$
0

I have been getting a bit frustrated. I'm not sure if its a CM 12.1 issue, or just a hardware + lollipop issue.

Here is my opinion on cameras that 'work' with the rom, but have issues.

1. Stock CM 12.1 camera. Has known "cannot connect' issue. I believe this ASOP camera is the same as the Google Camera. Each version seems to have small tweaks /settings, but IMHO this camera lacks tons of useful features other stock cameras have. These are useful if all you care about is point and shoot, versus filters, scenes, etc.. I am lumping Google Camera in this, even though the icons are different.

2. OpenCamera. This is the one I am currently using, and seems to be stable for me, and I am running Nightly 12.1 July 15 nightly with DKP kernel (tweaked) and july 13 GAPPS. My only gripe is I still feel like the quality of the pics isn't what you get with stock, but also the delay between pics is annoying, as opposed to Google Camera which gives you pretty instantaneous snaps. Even with the thumbnail animation disabled, there is a 1/2 - 1 sec delay between pics.

3. Someone recommended the HTC Camera. I was able to find a series of APK versions from googling, and this camera had really good promise. You did need the HTC Gallery for it to work, BUT..and this was the deal breaker, the front camera broke for me. The front camera only worked, for a short time, with the most recent HTC Camera version...but would eventually freeze, and couldn't even force close. A reboot was required. Very annoying.

It would be awesome if we could flash another stock camera app in this, like the S4, S5, S6, etc.

Any other recommendations besides apps from the Play Store?

i Need help pleas!

Bluetooth Lag with Lollipop ROMs

I've been attempting to flash lollipop to my Verizon S3 but I've noticed that bluetooth audio lags and becomes distorted during playback as the phone tries to sync to catch up. This is particularly noticeable when using youtube. There's no lag with the external speaker but using bluetooth with headphones and in the car, the audio distortions are significantly noticeable. I've tried flashing all of the available Lollipop roms CM/PACROM/AICP/OctOS and they all share this problem. Is anyone else getting this? I had to flash back to SlimRom kitkat to solve my problem. Is this a bug in the roms or is the S3 lagging due to hardware demands from lollipop?

Is something amiss???

Rooted my S3 running 4.4.2, build #K0T49H.I535VRUDNE1 with Towelroot. Installed SuperSU, Busybox and Titanium BU about 4 days ago then today I get a warning triangle in my notification bar...and in the pull down it says "uninstall harmfull app"- "towelroot" can damage your device.

I have rooted a couple of phones and a few tablets and have never seen this warning before. Is this specific to Samsung or ??

How can I get rid of it without losing root?? Or is this an indication of a larger problem??

Thank you in advance.

I have a new Samsung Galaxy S III (S968C) with StraightTalk and it is my first Android device. Right now it has Android 4.1.2. Can I get a guide to root and install CyanogenMod 13 or Android 5/6 on it? Thanks in advanced.

Missing Volume Button

Other than buying a replacement volume button, does anyone know of a way to push the volume button without the button itself? I want to do a hard reset because I can't remember the PIN to unlock the phone. Afterwards, I'd need to flash a stock ROM & root it again.

Thanks
