its been a long time..
after using Temasek CM11 rom series.. i had switched to Temasek CM12 made by
@arter97 and
@temasek and so far no bootloops and weird glitches upon flashing and booting ( i must say the boot animation rocks!! :good
again provided you use Arter97's Kernel OR Devil Kernel ( i don't have any news of devil kernel anymore if it was still in development so correct me if i'm wrong.:good
right now this is my setup and flashing order
Temasek CM12 + Arter97 kernel + F2FS + HWC + ART(well duh its lollipop so ART is integrated already! no more toggling it on, on developer options yay! :victory
(again MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP before getting too excited :good
i use arter recovery since i'm using F2FS
1. Download these 3 recipes first then put in SDcard

Kernel =

2. Then MAKE a FULL WIPE! (i mean wipe everything except the SDcard ofcourse since it contains your NANDROID BACKUP and the rom u just downloaded
or you'll end up having an headache before the new year :laugh
3. then flash ROM (do not reboot yet)
4. then flash gapps (i use the minimal+ x version, DO NOT reboot)
5. then flash kernel
6. wipe cache, and dalvik/art cache
7. then reboot! and wait for 2-3minutes (if your using EXT4 it may take another minutes)
8. if wifi is not working for you, you can use the wifi fix found here. as for the mobile data/ussd well stay tuned coz i asked
@arter97 if he can do something about those 2 problems. but for now u can not use the ussd fix coz it may cause no signal status.
and lastly the only bug inherent for the CM12 roms was the Long SMS bug. it means u cannot send long SMS messages. so... just make your sms short hehehe..
but my only gripe is that as of the moment there hasn't any blackened themes for lollipop..so i guess it will affect battery life of devices using AMOLED panels. and pls DO NOT USE modem KKN3 and KKNI3 it will not work on custom roms other than stock. it is recommended to use NA2 or ND1 modem.
thanks to
@arter97 and
@temasek for letting the S3 family experience Lollipop :good:
P.S. for E210S/K variants only but of course u can experiment and try, but i hope u know what u are doing and the risks associated with it. so don't come whining to me if your beloved devices become a stone brick that u can throw from the river and see how far it gallops.
