Are you cutting and pasting the commands from the original post? I use a Mac and in Terminal you have to add "adb shell" before pasting each command. "adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.samsung.android.app.camera.sticker.facearavatar.preload"

I don't think Heimdall works on High Sierra or even Sierra anymore.

I haven't gotten an update from Sprint on my S7 since December 2016. I am still on some random Nougat beta version. I thought a brand new firmware update to Oreo would reset whatever bug was in there causing this, but it looks like one person in my house got the Oreo update and mine is still...

So about a year ago, I did a factory reset while on the last beta, about a month before the final release was pushed out to everyone. I was properly enrolled in the beta program, so I didn't flash it myself. After the reset, I was still on the beta but once the update was pushed out, I never...

I'm guessing since we have to call for our MSL, it means flashing custom PRLs is also likely not possible the way things are going with Sprint?

Sprint S7. 1:10 SOT at 50% after 10 hours and 39 mins. off of battery. Anyone got any suggestions? I have LTE always on but the connection is rather strong both at home and at work.

Hoping for the best with this. This was as big omission on my part when switching from my CM 12.1 S3 to the S7 today. Really miss that on the go.

Have you been doing a clean wipe? Try flashing just the ROM with no kernel or even GApps. See if at least the ROM boots up on its own like that.

I thought the "fire sale" at Target was an indication that it was discontinued. I guess not but I scooped one up for $24 anyway. With Kodi and streaming site log ins, it's perfect.

Eh those instructions have been giving me a headache all day. It won't let me move the LS file over using ES File Manager. Won't even let me delete the init.d folder content either. For moving the LS file over it says I can't edit a read-only file or something.

Hot damn, it worked! I guess I was supposed to be using the SDK22 after all. Thanks for the help. Anything I can do to make CM faster? I had uninstalled bloatware with Titanium Backup on my TW ROM. Is there something else for CM?

I am on the 12/16 12.1 nightly. So 5.1.1, I believe?

Yeah, it seems LTE reception got worse in my house when switching from TW, but it was fine everywhere else when I went out. I'm having issues with XPosed again. Last time, a few months ago, my issue was using 2.7 on a Lollipop ROM. Now I'm making sure I'm on the latest one which is 3.0 alpha...

Alright, just checking. I know the unofficial CM 13 thread says that some issues may be fixed by updating to NJ2. I think I'll just do the update anyway because I've had similar issues twice in the past and the update fixed them.

Do the latest nightly builds require NJ2? I can't seem to get LTE on my ND8 radio and I know similar symptoms presented themselves when I was on MD4 and trying to use CM 11 or 12. It fluctuates between 1X and 3G and I just came back from a TW ROM where I had LTE, 3G, or no signal, but never 1X.

Looks like the Verizon S3 has Cm 13 up and running. Only a matter of time for us. Can't wait.

Man, I have been having issues with ES Explorer as well. I am using Mac and have been able to connect to the Player via FTP but it will not let me drag and drop APKs into any folder on the Player. It opens up the Player files in Finder but when I drag the files over, it has that circle with a...

It's not showing up on the player and when I try and do it as through the browser on my laptop it's says that the device is not compatible.

I got sick of CM's connection issues so I reverted back to ND8. I have all the files like the Tether fix and kernel still in tact, but I can't seem to find the WiFi fix. I searched this thread but I can't find it. WiFi just won't turn on. Can someone point me in the direction of the download...

I think I may have solved the issue a few days ago. I had installed the latest Xposed but didn't do the softboot from the Xposed menu that is a trivial thing but has solved all my problems in the past. This was no different. It was causing all my Xposed modules to misbehave, including Amplify...

Anyone having poor reception for data with the latest three or four nightlies? I had these issues the last time I was on CM 10 or 11 a year back and a PRL update using TouchWiz ROM seemed to fix things, but I never went back to CM until a month ago. Any chance PRL was reset or changed or...

Been using the second-to-last release of the kernel on Freelunch and the battery life is phenomenal. The thing is, I think it may be doing something to the radio? I get all notifications at a delay. At least ones that use data, as opposed to calls and texts. Those are fine. But my phone will...

Any reason why I can't switch back to a Swipe to unlock for my lock screen after trying out a PIN and Pattern? Swipe is grayed out for me and says something about administrator and credentials. I didn't even mess with those.

Yeah I try to make sense of the changelog but it's all just gibberish. Also, Is 12.1 for the S3 missing any features "normally" found in 5.1? Basically are there any hardware limitations of the S3 don't allow the full implementation of Lollipop's features?

Alright, it was a ride but I got it to work. Turns out Xposed prefers a soft reboot as opposed to just a regular one to get stuff settled. No matter how many regular reboots you do, you need to do a soft reboot after installing it via the apk. Also, I was running 2.7 or something, which was...

Thanks. Worked great. Not sure how I got it to work the first time on CM 12.1 EDIT: Still did not work. Any chance the specific nightly from yesterday broke XPosed again? Setting says the version is 2.7 experimental 1. And that's despite flashing the romracer through recovery. Still the same...

Man, I am just full of problems today. The nightly from 7/20 was my first venture into CM 12.1. After waiting a few days to update, I obviously did using Delta Update. Now XPosed won't work and along with it the big modules I use in BetterBatteryStats and Amplify. Tried flashing the installer...

Issue reappeared again after using CyanDelta to update from 7/20 to 7/23 nightly. Flashed just fine but on boot it said 'Android is starting" and had 152 apps to "optimize." 20 mins for all of it to get done. I must be doing something wrong. But I've been sticking to the books whenever...

No, I did a clean flash. I think I figured it out. Whenever I install a brand new app, it does that. I installed a few new apps, I think 4 to be exact, and on the next boot up it did the progress bar thing for 4 apps. "Optimizing apps" I think is what it said. For the kernel, are you using...

Just installed CM12.1 from TW this morning. Sometimes when I restart the phone, as I have several times throughout the day after updating stuff and troubleshooting, it takes forever for the phone to start up. It always goes to a loading screen counting off apps it has loaded and there are about...

I gotcha. Is it better to just stick with the CM default using Privacy Manager? Any benefits over the others? I was using SuperSU on my TW ROM for nearly a year, but I'm not attached to it. I barely noticed it actually. And I have been using the official ones, I just assumed people still...

Any idea on what to do if I lost root upgrading from TW to 12.1 this morning? Titanium Backup keeps saying root access failed so I can't restore most of my apps with their settings. Actually, I'm not sure I lost root since I probably needed it to flash the ROM, right? EDIT: Nevermind. Turns...

Coming from an ND8 TW ROM, has 12.1 reached a point where at least LTE and camera are consistent enough to use as a daily driver?

Are there any benefits, then? Signal or responsiveness fixes?

Is the NJ2 update the one that has suddenly started prompting me to update recently? Currently on ND8. Is there any harm in updating and rooting again through ODIN?

I've just been chilling using the corporate account PRL (56XXX) for some time. Is it just assumed to be the best one because of its roaming versatility? I've tried some of the 25XXX and 24XXX, one of which is what defaults to when I update my PRL from Sprint and not using the menu hack. Seems...

When it comes to the camera, is it worth using The Samsung TW camera app or switching to the Google Camera app? I don't do much editing but is there a difference in quality or something I should be aware of in the Google version that makes it better to use?

Well that sucks. No way it can be extracted (if it's a program or something)? Because that is what is keeping me from switching back to CM. I didn't have this issue when I was out of my house for most of the time for school, but now that I spend most of my time in my house, I guess the...

Do any of you guys have lower quality signal with custom ROMs than you do on a TW ROM, rooted or not? CM always gave me spotty data in my house, but after being on TW for a few months, I never lose data in my house. Not sure if CM fixed this or not.

Thanks for the info. I never knew that. I thought it was only introduced for newer models and not just refreshes of the S3.

Does the S3 have Spark? I thought it was S4 and later?

Wow, I forgot we had to do that. I had been switching between a few PRLs since last October and never had to do this but now that you mention it, I do remember that some instructions has suggested to do that. However with the PRL's that I have been using the past four months they did for sure...

Is "PRL Write" supposed to be in "View" and not "Edit" in the PRL updater Dialer thingy? I always thought it was in "Edit." It won't flash the 52101 thing for me.

I just bought a new battery from Amazon this past month. It was a Zerolemon that was advertised as just slightly larger in capacity than the OEM battery. So it's not the 7000 mAh or whatever they have. It's basically stock. The battery improved when I shut off Google Now voice recognition, but...

Am I mistaken in thinking there was either kernel or an app that allowed the user to set the clock speed of each of the cores on the CPU? So one could run at 1.5 and the other, maybe, at 800? I'm having a real issue with balancing battery life with performance. After reading the wiki on the...

Is there a noticeable difference between Ktoon and the Cnexus kernels?

I see. This morning I woke up and saw that it was now prompting me to update to the latest radio. I may have to do it anyway, because I don't know how to hide the prompt.

Ah yes. I had to unlock two family member's iPhones by calling Sprint and requesting it. I believe the minimum they they want is six months in to the contract. The rep did it in a blink of an eye when we were traveling overseas. Of course, those iPhones can be used anywhere but in the US (they...

Thanks for the info. I think I made a mistake in haste. The latest radio is NJ2 now? I am on ND8 and was asking about that. If NJ2 is the latest one, is it worth upgrading to? I am sort of forced to use TW because data in my house is terrible on CM. Data goes in and out and kills the battery.

What is the kernel recommended for this ROM? I have been using the KToonsez one, but was wondering if there was one that was either more performance oriented (aggressive) or battery saving. Two polar opposites, I know, but it feels like KToonsez is just kind of stuck in the middle. Either...
