Hi Guys,

AT&T SGH-i747 (Galaxy S3)
Installed latest release and gapps as instructed. Stuck on bootloop (Swagger Activated) screen for an hour. Reformatted, wiped all, reinstalled ROM and GAPPS brings me to the same page. Checked development and Q&A found nothing.
Any idea to fix this???





I am in same boat as you now. Tried wiping everything flashing ROM/GAPPS 3-4 times.. stuck in swagger page for several minutes. (15-20)
nothing happening.

Did you figure out how to get over. or any one advise ?

Check the Google+ page, D2LTE section.

I had the same issue, but finally got it to boot. You'll see some solutions on G+.

jb bootloader questions

realized i should be posting this question here in the QA

is the first JB bootloader from mid 2013 (lk3 or lk4) the minimum needed to flash all the roms/updates since then? so basically want to know..if that was flashed back then.. it would have worked for all the roms since then and the 4.3 jb bootloader wouldn't have been needed?

For the life of me...can't figure out which one was on there... trying to fix one of my devices that is bricked.. had been using task for long time and had updated all the way to recent...could it have been done on that FIRST JB bootload...ie 4.1 or 4.2..whatever it was.. or would the 4.3 bootloader have had to been flashed at some point?

this is in the QA OP:
Bootloader
The I747UCDLK3 bootloader is needed from rom update 5-17 and on.
Instructions for updating to the LK3 BOOTLOADER are HERE
LK3 is not the latest bootloader but it is that one Task calls for.
Bootloader and modem(baseband) are not the same thing.
Use ROOTCHECKERto check what bootloader you are running.
Task has given instructions to Delete the bootloader assert from the updater-script HERE
Messing with bootloader can be dangerous to your phone - MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE DOING.

so is it possible i've been (successfully) flashing all the roms..right up to 4.4.4....on THAT bootloader or is that impossible and the 4.3 had to have been flashed sometime?

thanks

I don't know what I did, but can't seem to find the answer. Whenever I click the home or power button it does not go to the lock screen. It just goes straight to the home screen or whatever I was doing.

Thanks.

That's normal for this ROM. If you're into Xposed, install Xposed Additions and you can get it to work the way you want.

Just noticed that Auto brightness doesn't work .
Press button in settings but it doesn't turn on.
FW 8.10
Also I wonder - what the best kernel I could use with this, last stable, FW ?

Jump on the OP's Google+ page and read the threads. There's been a lot going on the past two months.

8.10 had auto brightness issues. 7.29 is very stable but I had GPS issues. 9.10 is flawless for me, but difficult to get initially installed and booted.

BTW you can use Lux Lite app to have auto brightness working.

Yes, I know. Im "Trav Erse" in that thread..
And finally I reverted to 8.10 - both 9.10 and 9.12 doesn't work as it expected.

To answer your kernel question, Lean Kernel r14 seems to be stable with no frills. I'm running the DKP kernel that was released a couple days ago. He's got a new Governor included that's super smooth. Tierservative is the name, I believe.

What FW do you use with this kernel ?


I've flashed latest DKP kernel (dkp-aosp44-20141002.zip) on FW 8.10
at first glance, everything is fine - mobile data working, but auto brightness doesn't work anyway (

Auto-brightness is an ROM thing, not kernel. You'll have to get an app (like Lux lite) or use another version of the ROM.

Got the s3 (i747m Rogers Canada) from a friend who had CM running on it.
-Simple task, put new rom on it.
-AOKP installed, boots and hangs at Boot screen (Swagger Activated)

I got it to boot once. I did a combo of wiping which i dont remember, and then let it boot for a whoe afternoon. Came home, and it was booted.

Wipped it so I could hand it off to another friend, wouldn't boot after i wiped it.

I since then:
-Tried TWRP and Phils Recovery
-Tried many wipe combos
-Googled my issue

I have no idea whats going on. I'm going to try CM and see iof that works. Although I'd love to have AOKP working, any advice?

Sounds like you need to ODIN back to Samsung stock, do a factory reset, then reroot and install twrp or cwm recovery.

AOKP Task650 - Slow boot

I just installed AOKP Task650 on my Samsung S3 (Sgh-I747). Everything went fine until trying to boot up. It takes 20-30 minutes to boot up every time I reboot my phone.

Any ideas on how to fix that?

This Rom is dead in the water and there wont be no fix.

I suggest you move on to another ROM since Task will not be able to work on it for a year and a half...

    6. Full wipe per task/Weird ****.
    7. Gapps
    8. Google Now/Google
    9. GPS
    10. Home Screen/Home Button

    12. IRC channel for task - ##Task650_AOKP

    19. OTA Update/Recovery
    20. OLD/OUTDATED versions of this ROM
    21. Performace settings
    22. REQUESTs


    1. SD CARD
    2. Facebook won't sync.
    3. FAST CHARGE
      • Storage options will not work with fast charge on.
    4. FAUX SOUND
    5. Disable HW to stop flickering
      • Disable HW tick will not stick after reboot. This is the way it is suppose to be. This will still help with any type of flickering, usually.
    6. If you are having some weird sh!t going on.
      • Redownload rom and gapps
      • Wipe data factory reset
      • Wipe dalvik and cache
      • In mounts and storage select Format System
      • Then flash rom and gapps
      • Reboot task650
    7. Gapps
      • You must flash Gapps AFTER every flash of the ROM.
      • Use the Gapps in Task's OP or any Gapps package you want. They are just Google apps.
      • Sometimes you may have to flash Gapps twice - they have been notorious for not taking the first time.
      • Read the OP to see if a new version of gapps is required.
      • UPDATING APPS INCLUDED IN GAPPS
        • Delete app you are wanting to update with titanium back up.
        • Reboot
        • Install newer version of app
    8. Google now
      • Phone language has to be set to english for google now to work.
      • My google apps are working correctly. If it was just the play store force closing all you would've needed to do is reflash gapps. gapps is notorious for not taking the first try. but you always have to flash gapps after a rom install and make sure to clear cache and dalvik. no issues should occur if those steps are taken. Task. Make sure you are using the correct gapps!
      • Task and Ktoon do not support google wallet. There are fixes available but don't ask Task or Ktoon to fix it.
      • You can't remove the google search bar with default launcher but you can with nova or apex.
    9. GPS
      • GPS not working correctly isn't always the ROMS fault. Sometimes its the satellites.
      • Make sure you have internel GPS selected.
      • Try flashing original stock and then come back to this rom if you have flashed a TW based rom.
    10. To change your number of home screens
      • You must use Apex or Nova launcher, possibly some other third party launcher. But the default launcher will not allow you to do this.
      • You must use Nova or a third paryt home screen to disable search bar.
    11. If you flash other things like inverted gapps or change things from the original packaging of this rom and something goes wrong or doesnt work. Think about it. We cannot support those issues here. This thread is for this rom and gapps that are posted in the OP. Thanks. task650
      • Inverted gapps are awesome but not supported in Tasks thread.
      • If you are using inverted gapps and having problems - full wipe and reinstall rom and gapps in the OP and see if problem still persists.
      • Go here for support of inverted gapps. > http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2138156
    12. IRC
      • Task has started and IRC channel for his rom. ##Task650_AOKP
    13. KERNEL:
      • If you are using any kernel other than the one packaged with this ROM please post questions and problems to the appropiate kernel thread.
      • you need to understand that all devices are NOT created equally. one kernel might work awesome on my device while at the same time it may work horrible on your device. so to say that Ktoonsez says it works awesome, that means it works awesome for him. It has nothing to do with how it will work for you. If the symptoms that you're talking about are happening with that kernel it's obvious that your device doesn't like that kernel. Easy fix. Use a different one.
      • If you are using Ktoon's awesome kernel and experiencing problems, try reflashing with the kernel included with this ROM and see if the problem still persists. This may help understanding if the problem is kernel or ROM related and will help benefit development of both.You can full wipe and reflash rom and gapps to be back on original kernel.
      • If you wish to run another kernel other than what comes with the rom, Task suggest loading rom with included kernel, set up phone, then flash the kernel you want.
      • Governor/IO scheduler
        • Change these in performace control in settings
        • If you do not tick set on boot they will revert upon reboot.
        • This is a safety check in so you can try settings out before you make them permanent.
        • Last report in Feb is that Task uses row and interactive as his settings.
    14. LED
      • LED charging works exactly as it should.
        • 0%-%10 = Red
        • %10-%90 = Yellow
        • %90-100 = Green
      • You can't change the colors for LED Charging unless you download the source and rewrite that portion of code.
      • You can only change the colors for the Notification LEDs not battery indication color.
      • Make sure you have "pulse notification light" checked - uncheck to turn LED notification off.
      • Some colors will not work. Test LED color before relying on it.
      • Go here for some LED color talk. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1890774
      • DO NOT USE LIGHTFLOW WITH THIS PHONE - DOESN'T WORK WELL. LED CONTROL WORKS FINE ON ITS OWN.
      • To set LED for miss phones calls>>
        • choose Activities>Contacts>Phone/ activities.CallLogActivities
    15. Please do not post links for Task's ROM or gapps. He wants to keep count of downloads. Thanks.
    16. If you don't have LTE in your area it's not draining your battery.
      • AT&T is phasing out the old non LTE apn either way so we will all be using the same "LTE" apn. Network mode has nothing to do with you if your on AT&T service. That's only for the Canadians.
      • Also see 14 and 15 in FAQ post 1.
    17. MD5 sum is located in goo.im via download link.
    18. MODEMS
      • This ROM does not include a modem. You will have whatever you had.
      • Modems are location based. Try this and see which one works best for you.
      • Any modem questions should go HERE.
    19. OTA Updates/RECOVERY
    20. Old/out dated versions
    21. See Kernel for performace control
      • Use TRICKSTER for stable reliable control of these features
      • Last report in Feb is that Task uses row and interactive as his settings.
    22. REQUESTS AND ETA'S:
      • Do not ask for requests, ETA's, features or changes on XDA use G+ request section.
      • Donations are for if you appreciate his work. He will not turn this into a job.
      • DO NOT ASK FOR ETA'S. THIS IS ANNOYING AND ONLY HINDERS DEVELOPMENT.

    Arrow%20right2.gif
    Please read the OP in dev thread carefully on latest update, it has some very important info in it.
    Arrow%20left1.gif




    • BUG REPORTING: Very minimal at least read the thread from the date of the update you are running. If you see a couple posts about a paticular bug then consider it noted by devs. They do read these. Remember if they can't duplicate the problem then they sure as hell can't fix it. IF you are going to report a bug - include the necessary information or it will be ignored.
    • thanks for understanding that after a few bug reports are made and i acknowledge them, that the unecessary 100 that follow are ridiculous. Task
    • Always read the OP. If it says full wipe then do a full wipe. If you don't follow the OP please don't post problems. This isn't helping anyone. Full wipe isn't a big deal. You can backup and restore your launcher settings with Nova or Apex, Backup and restore apps with Titanium backup(pro has the batch feature and is worth the money) and you can backup and restore most of your AOKP settings with AOKP backup. ***AOKP BACKUP can cause issues when restoring. If you have errors after restoring with AOKP BACKUP try the process again without using it.*** Using these three methods takes about 10 minutes. This is barebones backup/restore. If you have a lot of tweaks and kernel changes it will take you longer. So as stated in the OP if you have problems do a full wipe before you report any problems.
    • Read the change log. This will answer a multitude of questions.
    • This is for the AT&T version of the Galaxy S3. This rom may work on different variants of the phone, but as for now Task and Ktoon do not have the time to support other versions. If you are on a different version of the Galaxy S3 and report a bug please understand that this ROM is AT&T supported only.

    • This is just to help Task and Ktoon keep repetitive questions out of there thread. If any information in this post conflicts with Task and Ktoon's OP or ROM thread then ALWAYS follow their information first.

    1. Annoying bugs/glitches reported
      • Make sure you always have the latest recovery if you have problems flashing roms. See 17 of this posting.
      • Not all ROM control settings are back yet. As always this will take Task some time when updating to a new OS. Be patient. If you don't see it just "wait for it". See post 3 #3.
    2. AOKP BACKUP
      • AOKP BACKUP is a great app for restoring most of your settings, but may cause some issues
    3. Third party app not working properly
      • This ROM has nothing to to with 3rd party apps. You would need to contact the developer of those respective apps to get support for them. You also need to understand that not all apps support the Jellybean 4.4.x OS yet and need to be updated by the developers in order for them to work correctly. task650
      • Trying clearing data for that app
      • If you used TIBU to restore app, clear cache and data and delete the app and download it fresh from the Playstore.
      • Some people are reporting third party camera apps not working correctly and/or causing stock camera problems. This could be true for a number of third party apps that could be conflicting with system apps.
      • If any given app/process is giving you problems or fc'ing- try clearning data for that app and/or fixing permissions.
      • Make sure you have the app updated to latest version. The existing version may not be up to date for 4.2.X or whatever version the ROM is.
      • If your app won't sync or no notifications - try logging out and then back in. Or try deleting the account and add it back.
    4. 2g toggle
    5. If you can't get your phone to wake up-
      • Hold down the power button for up to 30 seconds - it will restart. You should not have to pull the battery after using this step to restart. It does work and may take a few times for you to get it right.
    6. BATTERY LIFE:
      • We all at some time have been proud or dissapointed in our battery life, but please keep battery stats out of the development thread.There are threads for this and the Development threads are not one of them.
      • There are way too many variables that influence battery life to be concerned with in a DEVELOPMENT thread. This has been stated daily by the Developers.
      • Install betterbatterystats and figure out if the problem could be something causing a wake lock keeping your phone from entering deep sleep.
      • Go here to discuss BBS wakelocks and read the how to in the app. It is very beneficial.
      • It is a known fact that it may take a couple charge cycles for your battery to calibrate and settle in. Also it should be known that these batteries do not need the data cleared for them. THEY WILL CALIBRATE THEMSELVES.
      • If you are getting over 3 hours of on screen time on a single charge that is nothing to complain about. IF you do see a post in the development thread about battery life, ignore it. Once again, no one uses their phone the same and their set up is probably not going to influence your phone significantly.
      • Sometimes an app or process is just sticking and a reboot will help.
      • You could possibly see battery showing charging when not plugged in or a dramatic change after a reboot. Once again this is just the battery fuel gauge recalibrating itself. This is normal.
      • For some good tips on fixing battery drain go HERE.
    7. Bugs/reporting
      • Bug reports should contain a logcat or information that would help. saying this doesn't work or this is happening doesn't help us at all and at that point belongs in Q&A. task 650
      • Some bugs are being reported by a few that Task, Ktoon and others are not seeing. Follow avidmovies notes below on trouble shooting/comprehensive reflash and Task's suggestion above on weird sh!t. Stick to the basics and see if problem is there still - such as stay with kernel that is included with rom, skip restoring anything with titanium back up, other words just try the basics and if a certain app has been giving you problems download it from the market instead of TIBU and see if problem still persists. Some apps have been reported to make ROM features malfunction.
      • If you had a spontanious reboot, we need the file last_kmsg from the /proc folder.
      • If you have n FC on an app, thats when we want a logcat
      • If you do not have the latest update of this rom consider it unsupported. This is why they update- to get rid of the bugs that we may be having on older versions.
      • BUG REPORTING: Very minimal at least read the thread from the date of the update you are running. If you see a couple posts about a paticular bug then consider it noted by Task. He does read these. Remember if he can't duplicate the problem then they sure as hell can't fix it. Bug reports without a logcat or a random reboots without a last_kmsg will be ignored.
      • "Thanks for understanding that after a few bug reports are made and I acknowledge them, that the unecessary 100 that follow are ridiculous." Task
      • Just follow this practice and you will be golden.
        • If you see a bug reported once - go ahead and report it again with a LOGCAT or proper info.
        • If you see a bug reported twice and you are seeing it consider it a known bug and the following will probably happen-
          • Task has the same problem or enough info from LOGCATS provided and will fix it or
          • Task is not having the problem and can do nothing about it unless a LOGCAT is given
          • Point here is Task can't fix problems with out the proper information.
      • "Be patient for the galaxy s3 settings to be fixed." Task --- Some stuff is taken out, left out or temporarily removed for good reason.
      • If you are going to report a problem, include some details. Kernel, UC/OC, circumstances, etc...
      • Once again TALKING about a bug without the proper info including either LOGCAT or last_kmsg is nothing but A WASTE OF TIME.
      • Read THIS posted in the development thread by Task.
      • HOW_TO_PROPERLY_REPORT_A_BUG
      • Please put logcats in a text file so it doesn't take up a whole page in the thread.
    8. BLUETOOTH
      • If your phone switches to vibrate when you connect to bluetooth. Check here
        • Settings>Rom Control > Bluetooth A2DP connected action
          • No action
          • Vibrate Mode
          • Silent Mode
    9. Bootloader
      • The I747UCDLK3 bootloader is needed from rom update 5-17 and on.
        • Instructions for updating to the LK3 BOOTLOADER are HERE
          • LK3 is not the latest bootloader but it is that one Task calls for.
        • Bootloader and modem(baseband) are not the same thing.
        • Use ROOTCHECKERto check what bootloader you are running.
      • Task has given instructions to Delete the bootloader assert from the updater-script HERE
      • Messing with bootloader can be dangerous to your phone - MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE DOING.
    10. Benchmark Scores
      • The devs have stated many times that these scores are BS. If you run a benchmark and want to discuss it, there are threads that are purely for discussing these random numbers. The development thread is not one of them.
    11. Canadian
      • It has been reported that this rom works with the canadian version phone
      • Please understand that Task does not support canadian users because he does not have that phone.
      • Feel free to use his rom with the understanding that he does not support it.
      • GO HERE for help with LTE/Data problems using this ROM.
      • Reported that you must turn off LTE to tether.
    12. CAPACITIVE BUTTONS
      • For instructions to disable capacitive buttons go HERE!
    13. CM10
      • This is not a CM10 ROM nor is it based off one.
      • Comparing the two makes no sense. This is based off Google as is CM10. Other than that there is NO comparison. Please understand this. If something works or is in one rom doesn't mean it will work or is in the other.
      • If you want to compare CM10 and Tasks AOKP take it to the general section. A development thread is not the place for it.
    14. CRT animation
      • If you put your animation speeds below .75 CRT will not work.
      • There are now toggles and more options for CRT - familiarize yourself with them.
    15. DATA CONNECTION/SPEED
      • If you have no data after a flash, dont freak out.
        • Try rebooting
        • Make sure you have data toggle turned on.
        • Try toggling airplane mode
        • Check APNs.
          • If you have no APN's make sure your SIM card is in good and reboot.
          • If SIM card is not detected during a reboot - your APN'S will/could be blank.
        • DO you have your IMEI intact?
        • GO HERE for help with LTE/Data problems using this ROM.
      • DATA SPEED PROBLEMS
        • Data speed can vary greatly depending on user traffic and distance from towers.
        • SpeedTest app is not a reliable source of accurate data speed
        • The ATT APN is being phased out by ATT. You need to use the ATT LTE APN - task650
        • Network mode is for Canadian users only
        • Just because your stock ROM said 4G doesn't mean you actually had 4G/LTE. ATT roms report H/H+ as 4G where as this ROM gives you true data connection.
    16. DATA Symbols
      • I flicker between H and 3g. AOKP shows true connection where as stock roms just show 4G. Also this rom controls data connection and kicks it down to 3G when not using data and kicks to H+ when you need it. This is a feature to save battery.
      • Blue symbols means you are connected to google servers - gray means you are not
      • Symbol equals>
        • G=GPRS
        • E=EDGE
        • 3G=3G
        • H=HSDPA/HSPA
        • H+=HSDPA+/HSPA+
        • LTE=LTE
    17. You must have d2att recovery to flash Task and Ktoon's JB rom or you will get error 7. ;) task650
      • This is usually caused by a corrupt download, or bad file signature. Re-downloading (or re-signing) the ZIP will usually fix this - check MD5 sum.
      • Update or try a different recovery.
      • Remove the build assert in the updater-script.

    How to Update (Always follow OP directions)

    Make sure you have CWM
    MAKE A NANDROID
    Boot into recovery
    Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik cache, then go into mounts & storage and format system!!!
    (If already on AOKP JB/CM10 you should be able to just wipe cache & dalvik. If you have ANY ISSUES, FULLY WIPE BEFORE POSTING IN THIS_THREAD!!!)
    Flash ROM
    Flash Gapps
    Reboot


    Troubleshooting/Comprehensive Re-flash
    (Optional, but recommended) Back up any apps you may want restored (Titanium Backup's batch mode (a PROfeature) makes this painless! Set TB batch filters to User type only. DO NOT RESTORE SYSTEM DATA! Hell, don't even back them up.
    Re-download the latest version of the ROM and Google Apps (even if it's the same version you have) from the OP. It's possible you may have a corrupted download.
    Reboot into recovery. Follow the process below exactly, and there should be no NEED for a kernel cleaning script.
    Wipe cache partition
    Advanced > Wipe Dalvik Cache
    (Optional, but recommended) Mounts and Storage > mount /system & /data
    Install zip from sdcard > choose zip from sdcard (wherever you saved the download) > Flash [ROM] AOKP Task & Ktoonsez Run a Train (version)(TGFY ONLINE!!!).zip
    (Optional, but recommended) Mounts and Storage > mount /system & /data
    Install zip from sdcard > choose zip from sdcard (wherever you saved the download) > Flash gapps-jb-(version)-signed.zip Jelly bean version only
    Reboot
    PS. Sometimes all that is needed is a reboot again. Doesn't hurt to try it.
    Test ROM, BEFORE restoring *any data* (if you did a full reset). DON'T RESTORE SYSTEM DATA! You have been told twice!
    Fixing permissions in CWM/TWRP helps fix MANY *random* glitches.

    If you still encounter problems, do a FULL reset ( Recovery > Wipe data/factory reset) & follow the steps again. THEN, you can report issues!

    • You may have to redownload ROM and/or Gapps. Sometimes you can get a corrupt download that will cause issues. It happens.
    Thanks to avidmovies for the above instructions from S II AOKP FAQ. (with small modifications)

    Hey man, I am having the EXACT same problem. I wiped/flashed the newest 6.19 rom and still getting the same problem. So severe that after I exit the app, my phone locks up and reboots completely. Moreover, it also corrupted my SD card, forcing me to reformat it. I would also like to know if anyone else is having this issue and what may cause it. Impossible for me to get a log since my phone locks and reboots, even after a fresh install.

    Task...there is no need to be an ass about this, this is clearly not isolated to instagram and may be complications with your ROM or some weird bug. This is an FAQ about stuff related to your rom, when ppl ask questions in your development thread, you flame them, when ppl ask in the FAQ thread, you do the same. No one is asking you to fix it, we just simply want to know what is happening just in case this translates to other instabilities in the rom.

    1.) No. It didn't corrupt your sdcard. That's not how it works. Just read all the articles all over the internet about the s3 corrupting sdcards on all different firmwares, roms, kernels, ect... You were just lucky enough to be on this ROM so you could have something to blame. It can happen on any of them. :D

    2.) If you consider me telling users to read, search, learn, and contribute as flaming then that's fine. You have every right to think that way. But its probably the furthest from what this DEVELOPMENT site was created for. That's not flaming at all. At no point do I make things personal, call names, ect... Kinda like what you just did? I keep things short and to the point, give facts, and fix issues when valid reports are made. This isn't a "Make my phone cool" website dude. Seems like some forget that at times.

    3.) Translates to other instabilities in the ROM? Seems like you're just making things up now. If there are other issues, report them with the proper info. Otherwise, just guessing and thinking that there "could be" issues doesn't really do anything nor does it bring those issues to light. That also wasn't what was asked. The issue was asked about Instagram. Not others.

    4.) Yes this is a Q & A thread. But as you should be able to clearly see, it is obviously labeled for this ROM. Not 3rd party apps. This isn't a free-for-all thread. A lot of users cannot post in the dev thread and that's one of the reasons that this thread is here. So staying on topic is a must in order for me to be able to get to the real issues that those users post here and not have to sift through a ton of bs in order to troubleshoot them. I don't have enough time in my days for that.
