Hello. I'm experiencing browser crashes too frequently. I've tried chrome and firefox. Twitter's in-app browser also crashes. Using week 6 ROM. Can this be related with android system webview?
If it happens to chrome and firefox, it is not related to webview, as these have their own browser engines.

I was using team ub builds which is based on cyanogenmod 12.1 too, so in that builds, sync toggle was always present from cm12 till now cm12.1

The reason i have migrated from their roms to justarchi's is that they stopped updating i9300 roms from 22-04-2015

ALERT!!! i'm not saying that their rom is best and this rom isnt, actually i found this rom better, but that toggle is just the only thing that i missed...

P.S actually i found power control widget included in rom, in which they are number of toggles plus sync toggle, but i need that toggle on notification drawer...

BTW big thanks to JustArchi for this great rom.
Sync tile is being worked on. When these get merged, they will be in the build after that date. Best guess will be weekly 7.

Ok guys now i cant get data working, i have i9505 too running android 5.1.1 cm12.1 and both phone use the same operator sim card so i am well aware of apn settings (actually no special settings needed just name and apn) but it does't connect on i9300... anyone have a idea?

P.S i will try to investigate this my self too. I'll update this post if i found something...

Try deleting proxy ip, port, username and password. I remember having to do so every time i flash a new rom (i always full wipe).

Same thing here. It's too hard to use Chrome. It keeps crashing. I think there is no way to use this phone smoothly. Because at the end of the day, Android is nothingbut rubbish IMHO. I'am so tired and frustrated. (Still respect to the devs of course)

Hello Guys,

I've just got an S3 and I switched to CM as soon as I could.
The first thing I noticed is the oversharpened font. Is there any way to adjust this?

Thanks

Only way is to flash Boeffla Kernel and install Boeffla Config. There in tab 'display' u can find Sharpness tweak. Enable it, and screen will looks much better. Remember to download Boeffla Config for your Android version, e.g. version 4.X for Android 5.1.X ;) It is explained on Boeffla Kernel site, boeffla-kernel.de

You've got this options under Settings/Display & Lights/Advanced Display, so no need to flash another kernel.

But on the other hand - you'll may want to flash Boeffla, if you haven't tried it yet :good:

Flashing custom kernels is not recommended, you are free to do so, but you are on your own with any problems you get then.

Any talk about custom kernels is not wanted here, they have their own threads, go chat there.

Out of curiosity, do the maintainers actually make any of their own modifications or do they primarily just compile the CM source with the i9300 device tree?

We work on i9300 device tree only. Which means, we're here to make CM compatible with i9300 device, and nothing more.

This is as pure CM for i9300 as possible.

Thanks for the help, I was just reading more about that as I did not want to jump straight to flashing things since I am not familiar with this phone model.
Can't find anything related in Advanced dispaly menu though.

Under advanced display select 'browser' mode to bring back the sharpness to normal levels.

Althought you're the one of the most intelligent person on this forum (reading it everyday), but I'm not really sure we cannot talk about any other kernel as long as it's not complaining about bugs with them. I'm more than happy user of Boeffla Kernel, and I can't see nothing bad about talking about it here, I can say more - Boeffla Kernel is a miracle that let me play my beloved GTA Chinawars for 5 hours on 3 years old battery. :) Why not to share good (improving) tips here? Do you think that CM Team is the only right and capable to improve things here?
My advice - if something improves the experience with this ROM - share it. If something breaks the beautifulness of this ROM - don't share it. Easy like that.
I'm going crazy sometimes when people report problems with Gapps - what the hell is Gapps?? I'm not using it since 2013 , so I don't have any problems with it. But why people are installing them though they make more problems than gains? I don't know. But there're still complaining abot Gapps here, not on the Google Apps forum. Is this right?

    Background:
    Due to lack of official maintainer for i9300 device for CyanogenMod. I, together with @Moster2 decided that we will work unofficially on i9300 device tree for CM12, to bring Lollipop goodness to our beloved Galaxy S3.
    All builds provided in this thread are UNOFFICIAL, which means that:
    - There is no official support for i9300
    - There are no OTAs available
    - There are no automated "nightglies"

    At some point, we definitely will try to make proper pull requests, and maybe even support CM12 officially, but at the moment this project is in WIP - Work-In-Progress state, and many things are still broken/unusable. Until we finish, all builds are unofficial, and proper device support is not finished yet.

    At the moment, this project is considered: BETA. All core functions should work, ROM shouldn't have any critical issues, but it's still not ready to mark as stable. However, it should work properly as daily driver.

    Please refrain from talking about other kernels than stock. We can't track every kernel and it's problems, hence, you're using other kernels at your own risk. Please don't report bugs while you're using custom kernels.

    Build instructions:
    Follow CM build instructions for i9300. When doing repo init, don't forget to declare CM-12.1 branch (-b cm-12.1) instead of the default one.

    Before "breakfast i9300", you must include our manifest and resync the sources:
    Code:
    croot
    cd .repo
    mkdir -p local_manifests
    cd local_manifests
    wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ArchiDroid/manifest/cm-12.1/roomservice.xml
    croot
    repo sync

    Notice: Our manifest already includes proprietary_vendor_samsung, so don't execute ./extract-files.sh. Just repo sync.

    Then follow "breakfast i9300" and the rest of the commands in original instructions, while keeping in mind above notice.

    Will we ever see Android m on s3?

    I'll use this opportunity to answer this once for a longer while.

    Only because I didn't get new Nexus yet (and probably not going to, disappointed by S810), I do plan at least trying to bring M to i9300.

    HOWEVER, the final effect highly depends on what I'll be able to achieve, how many things will be broken, and if other devs will want to help. There's a high chance that google didn't break that many things compared to LP, but I can't even take a deeper look yet, as CM is not ready yet. There's no point in building AOSP for i9300, too many things will need special treatment and hacks, so I'm patiently waiting till CM will be in buildable state. After that I'll build a first alpha and if at least core functions will work properly (such as display, calls, wi-fi), I'll probably begin releasing alphas until major portion of them will get fixed.

    Again, I'd like to remind you that i9300 is officially DEAD, we have blobs dated at Android 4.3 JB, which are ALREADY NOT COMPATIBLE, which you probably noticed of not working MMSes. This is not going to get any better, this is actually going to get only worse, so the question is how worse it will become, as this will directly affect things and work that need to be done to get things working. I'm not interested in wondering how samsung's black box works as I did in the past, as I lost my patience for crapxynos already. I'm just going to take a look, perhaps do something that will work, try to fix things that did break, if I succeed, cool, if not, sorry, M for i9300 is not going to happen, at least from me.

    Currently I'm still waiting for CM to fix up their things for CM13 before I ever start doing something, as sources are in non-buildable state for now. I'll most likely post updates on twitter regarding this, so if you're not following me yet, it may be wise to consider doing so.

    This is the first and the last post regarding Android M for i9300 from me, as we're in CM12.1 thread and it's simply offtopic. CM13 is unrelated to this, so it's not a right place to post about it. Any updates regarding this will be only on my twitter, if I succeed, new thread will be created.

    That's it folks, hope you enjoyed our CM. As there is nobody from "my" team working on i9300 anymore, eventual hope for M for i9300 should go directly to Dhiru, perhaps also Haxynox guys, if they know what they're doing.
