Cyanogenmod 10.1

[gmac1990]

I am on CyanogenMod nightly and am loving the ROM except for the flickering. It was said to disable hardware overlays to fix it. As dumb as it nay sound idk how to do that and moreover don't know what else that will effect. Can someone enlighten me?

Go to about phone, click build number a couple times until it says you're now a developer, then go to developer options and disable it there. And it won't affect anything.

CM 10.1 and AOKP Reception Issues (dBm & asu)

I have tried to find information concerning this issue for sometime now, but can't seem to find any information concerning it. There may very well be, but not in a form that I recognize it as the solution or as the source of my issue...

Any time I install a CM 10.1 based rom or AOKP rom onto my GS III I747 (AT&T) they run very smooth for the most part. My only concern is that the signal fluctuates a great deal from nearly a full signal to nothing sometimes. When I go to Settings>about device>status I see a crazy dBm and asu. The dBm is around "2456543" and the asu is always "255." Before and when I return to the stock rom, the signal strength is fine and registers correct numbers. Is this a known issue, or something I am doing wrong and can correct?

Just to get a few questions out of the way, these are the steps I took to install these roms:
1 Used latest cwm;
2 formatted cache;
3 dalvik wipe
4 reset and factory wipe;
5 format system;
6 flash rom from sd card;
7 flash gapps;
8 reboot

I have even tried wiping dalvik and cache again after installing gapps, but I still get the same thing.

Swap your modem. I think LK3 is the one for AT&T but you can try some others too. Just look for the modem thread in the Dev section.

Awesome and thanks. I found the thread that you referenced... Is it just trial and error from here or is there a way to determine which modem a custom rom was build for?

Pretty much. It's quite hard to suggest modems as they act different on every phone and in every area.

I tried every modem out there and still the same issue with "23542568 dbm 255 asu" and the signal randomly drops in and out. There has to be a known cause or something I can do, huh? This is such a shame because I found the perfect cm 10.1 based rom that I want to use but I can't. There has to be a solution... Can anyone help?

I have the same issues on my AT&T S3 when I flash CM10.1 based roms. I can be 5 feet from my wifi router and only have 3/4 signal. On TouchWiz roms, I have a full signal. When I'm 15-20 feet away from the router I have 3/4 signal strength on TW roms, and 1/2 signal on CM roms. The same issue goes for my cell signal. I don't have a very strong cell signal to begin with (typically 2 sometimes 3 bars on TW roms) and it's usually at least 1 bar less on CM roms than TW roms. My bedroom is just about the farthest point in my house from the router so having a weak signal (wifi or data connection) kills my battery life overnight (at least 10%-12%) on CM roms. This happens when connected to wifi OR data and it happens on every CM rom I've flashed.
Instead of flashing a different modem, should we try flashing a different kernel?? Any other suggestions? Or is this a know performance issue in the difference between CM and TW roms?

The flickering is quite likely an issue with auto brightness. I think it's an issue even on the nexus devices. Set it at a usable level and you should be okay.
