Pac-Rom Kitkat for i9300(12-Oct-16) - Galaxy S III Android Development

This is a compile done for a friend, as he found lp/mm roms to be unbearably laggy,especially when using social media/chatting apps. Just thought it could help some folks hoping to run an updated kitkat in their old(but great) galaxy s3. After some usage, his words were: this phone is part of my hand again .
This is a straight compile from cm11 sources for i9300, with the pac-rom source code(the best kitkat custom rom imo). Battery life, performance and stability are truly superb. Sources merged on 12-Oct-16, therefore having the latest stagefright and other security patches built-in. Wifi-fix for i9300 is also integrated. The rom is working fine with the latest boeffla-kernel(2.14) released for cm11, and thats the tested and recommended configuration. Some useless apps removed(like voicedialer, whisperpush,moviestudio,pacconsole and some more i can not remember) and i also removed pac console from the rom configuration settings framework as well. Have fun using it.

All credits go to cyanogenmod and pac-rom team for both their amazing roms and sources for i9300 and many other phones we use and love!

Thanks you,!!

Not having the phone means no screeshots . You can try it and put some up for everyone to see. You wont be disappointed.

What about gapps?? We have to dwnload it?

This is a clean rom, no gapps,xposed, or other mods included. use opengapps.

Really appreciate your efforts here... Great work on this rom... everything working fine... If possible can you put some time looking into Archidroid 4.4.4... IMO it was the best rom our s3 could ever have.... It has some wakeblock issues that might get resolved if we update the sources. Again thanks for your effort. S3 community owes you!

This problem persist with the latest snapshot of cm 11 also... nly install themes that you like... doesnt affect the functionality of the rom having themes installed.

Thanks for this great ROM. The only issue I have is I cant get 3G to work. Any suggestions? Would be much appreciated...

Its probably an APN problem, try inputting your carrier settings manually. 3g works fine on my friends' phone.

The rom is incredible but I need to restart my system with Wifi turned on so it can connect. If it disconnects (for any reason, disabling wifi, getting out of range etc), it only flashes "Connecting..." when connecting to the router again, but it doesn't connect

Try the fix in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/wifi-fix-cm11-i9300-t2910872 . I already included the needed file in the rom, and it works fine here, but it couldnt hurt to try. Could it also be your router causing this?

Will try! And it isn't the router, it worked with cm12.1 (no issues whatsoever) and cm13 (the issue on cm13 was random disconnects but it was rom related too).

Hey!
Switched to this rom recently and being very impressed, it having all the features one could ever want yet stable and battery friendly. Definitely better than MM roms on S3.
However do we need an kitkat bootloader or do we even have one available? Still on the official 4.3 bootloader and just wondering if could get more stability if upgrading it to kitkat.

Kitkat bootloaders dont exist for the i9300, since it never officially got kitkat. Last semi-stock kitkat rom for the i9300 were ported roms from n7100 and the korean variant of gs3, and they did not include a bootloader, because it would hard-brick the phone. Having installed 4.3 before this was the best you could do. Having this rom installed in 2 phones(my friend's and my sister's) i definitely recommend installing boeffla's last cm11 kernel, no stability,battery, or features problems with it. Actually, apart from the rebooting on uninstalling themes bug, no other bug has been reported to me from them, no even ones in the thread.

Ive seen this many times in rom manager but never flashed it as it wasn't on xda so wasn't sure about it. As far as I can see it's a reliable rom so I wonder why I've never seen it here before????
I installed one rom I found here that was based on it though.
Might give it a shot. OP has given info about it. Anybody else can supply any feedback?

I used the 2.3.3 version and it was very stable and just worked fine as advertised; I'm sure this one is the same. He just focuses on making a very stable, close to stock rom with some improvements here and there. Should be a very smooth rom.

yes.. FFC works. As you know, blandroid has no Google apps pre-installed. There is a gapps package you use (same as with cyanogen). But that gapps package hasn't got the latest Talk.apk
You need to get the new version of Talk.apk yourself. I created a thread and posted a link here.
Blandroid 2.3.5p0
Very stable release! I get at least 20 hours with heavy use (3g on always)
Blandroid.org manually updated changelog
2011-09-10
2.3.5p0 released
2011-09-09
Imported CMScreenshot app from CyanogenMod and added a screenshot function to the global power menu. Now screenshots can be taken natively from anywhere by holding down the power menu and selecting "Take Screenshot". Screenshots show up as PNG files in the DCIM/Screenshots directory on the SD card.
Added a setting to disable showing failed lock patterns. Most useful when the "Use visible pattern" option is disabled.
Been using this myself for the past day, very fast, stable and smooth rom, I will be using this as my daily driver from now. Haven't cross any bugs yet.
I can't seem to get this to install from recovery. I always get installation aborted.
Any reason why? I seem to be stuck with Oxygen...

Way cool, will backup can test what's listed as working and see if i can find more of what's not working.
Thanks
Has changed the default language en_US.Update rom url
Not bad!
So I gave this test ROM a try. It's nice to see KitKat running on an Atrix 4G! I'm so excited to see some progress!
However, there are definitely several issues with it. The problems I found are:
Calls/text doesn't work
Mobile data doesn't work (says AT&T 4G but no connection)
SuperSU doesn't appear to work (crashed when opening and wouldn't let an app have root access)
Bluetooth didn't turn on for me (but I see you seemed to get it working, maybe it was just bad luck)
No WIFI (doesn't scan as you stated in the post)
Couldn't test any apps or camera because I couldn't restore my apps without root, and the camera must be a part of gapps now, which I also didn't install.
I was also gonna post some screenshots but it wouldn't let me snapshot (said storage error?)
Just thought I would sum up my experience so far. Thanks for letting us test out this promising new ROM! :good:

K's kernels are CM9 and CM10.1 based. This is a CM11 based kernel with a build date of 6 Aug 14
Calls - No go
BT (file transfer) - Go
Wifi - same as OP reported
Battery - same as OP reported (There's no way that after 8 hrs it should still be at 100%)
Speakers/Headphones - No go
Apollo/DSP Manager - Crash
Ravilov's Battery Fix app - scripts not able to be executed
Thanks!!!
Mobile data seems to be working, Bluetooth and superuser. ART included, I'll do more testing later.

Don't be harsh to K, as I was fixing audio segfault in CM 4.4.4, the more I realized most of the audio problem (like Skype, Bluetooth error) is more ROM related than Kernal related. Most of them are due to incompatiblity of hardware HAL files in our unfinished Moto's 4.0 rom...... Of course Mobile Data HAL is sill PAIN IN THE AXX... ...

And what about to use - for now - the old kernel like epinter's CM10?, in XOOM kitkat they use and old 2.x kernel too, the hardware acceleration its not really a problem compared to use and unfinished kernel with more issues to solve.
Anyway we agree that Kristianp is doing it's best work to continue developing the 3.1 kernel, so any negative comentary should not be allowed as most of us are only users and some cooperate with minimal things.
I could boot my second atrix, now time to BL Unlock, root, etc and it's ready to test some KK roms.
It's great to see the "4.4.4" in the settings
Mobile internet works fine.
Kitkat feels quite snappy on this "too old, too slow" hardware.
Thank you so much for keeping the Atrix alive.
Will try to install the Play Store and test out some apps!
cannot wait to try this!
Booted up fine and looks slick. had to do some searching around to find how to switch to ART.
Also had to use Z's recovery_4.3.img... ROM won't install with TWRP.
Wish I could do more testing like battery but it's not feasible at the moment.
Looking forward to other releases to test.
Really love the tons of options available in KK.

There's no 2.7 for Atrix and apparently there's also no 4ext Recovery, so the only ways are CWM or Z's recovery (will try Z's on Monday or Tuesday)

[Q] Stable Kitkat vs Unstable Lollipop

Hello there,
I recently moved to cyanogenmod 11 on my xperia ZR, and found it extremely good and stable.
Although we still dont have a stable CM12 for ZR, but ported ones are available, and giving in for the love for lollipop, i did try them too, but there are quite a few bugs.
So, Just wanted to ask, what everyone of you prefers,
A stable CM11 or a buggy but newer CM12.

the latest CM12 build of xenius9 seems stable for me. I prefer CM12. Little bugs don't bother me. The sheer smoothness and fresh-look of the whole user interface make me use CM12.:good:

I am too using that build, and i second ur opinion, CM12 does give a fresh look to the device.
stable cm12 will come soon
I bought this ZR a year or so ago and the phone has been on non-stock ROM's ever since day 1 inc a unlocked boot-loader since the same time. I've tried every ROM posted in the ZR section from the Xperienz onwards inc the CM11..
The CM11 nightlies were also "unstable" depending on the nightly chosen and I often had to flash back to a stable CM11 because of bugs in that particular CM11 nightly.
All the CM builds are constantly evolving and it's kind of the charm about flashing a new CM11 or 12 because we never quite know what we're going to get.
I used to be involved in the Nokia scene, modding etc, for the last few years and i like messing around, trying new things on the phone and im currently on the CM12 02-02-2015 Validus port (have been since it was ported by uncomment because it is stable with good features) and there are some amazing work being done by xenius9, Deadroza, uncomment and others giving us ZR users a choice..
The nice thing about CM12 is the interface but the development within CM12 is awesome and I for one would take a dirty, "unstable" CM12 anytime over a stable anything, inc stock ROM..
Hi
I have the same feeling about new LP ROMs...
We have only some ported LP ROMs with bugs. And the KK ROM are all discontinued.
I tried a LP ROM (don't remember which one) and finally I'm back to KK. The design of LP is very refreshing and it's a great sensation when your ZR seems to have reborn.
There is some problems that bother me like :
- The notification LED don't works in silent mode. On Z, the LED still work when we disable the vibrator.
- The data switch is crappy. We have to press a least 3 times to activate or desactivate the data instead of just 1 time on quick settings of KK. It's the same problem for localisation switch. On KK we can choose the localisation mode quickly by pressing the same button again.
- The bluetooth audio. It works great but after some connections the sound is not play in the peripheral. We have to restart the phone to have a fonctional bluetooth back.
Due to this little but boring things I'm on a MokeeKK ROM since the begin of febuary...
Do you know if some of this things are solved? I don't have the courage to try a LP ROM just to find out if there is some evolutions. And if there is some evolutions, which ROM did you advise me? CM12, CM12.1, Resurrection Remix?
Thanks in advance

Thanks for releasing unofficially CM12.1. I'm using it since yesterday and its working fine so far. However, I get settings fc sometimes and mostly on bootup.
Another issue is with camera focus on micro shots which makes the device force reboot. It was present in cm12 long ago but it was solved or vanished later. Now seems to be back on CM12.1
Of course without a log, we cannot figure out these issues so I will post it asap here.
Btw; thanks for including d2s feature in the kernel. I have been missing it for long on official CM ROMs.

For some reason I wasn't able to receive calls. They said it rang once then went to voicemail. IR also wasn't working through peel but I never really use it. Other than that OMG the ROM! This is the only CM rom that doesn't have issues with my FFC on official CM it has a weird tint to it with every app

Everything works great other than the camera. Same issue as most here, using the camera most of the time results in a reboot of the phone.
Flashing the 2015-6-22 build right now! I'll update after it's been tested.
update: the camera seems to work fine, and doesn't cause reboots now. But I get random reboots just out of the blue. And that was happening before the update. But issues with the camera seem to be fixed. So that's awesome!
I'm gonna transition from official cm12 nightlies to this build. I am also gonna try the 20150602 cm 12.1 gapps build (located on http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps) since this is a newer version..hope it works. will try to post any issues. If you don't hear from me, assume it is working great! Thanks for this build superfes.
OK loaded fine with newest version gapps, so far so good
I too confirm that force reboot in camera focus is now fixed. Thanks a lot.
However, wake features are no longer available. Looks like you have changed the kernel.
Can we use the kernel from the previous build of yours?

I was trying to fork this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-htc-one/development/kernel-elite-kernels-t2961835
But I messed up a merge, I'm trying to get it back to working, as soon as the merge is stable I'll build it back in.
Until then you can just use the AOSP kernel there.

Ok but that kernel isn't updated from January and is a Android 5.0 kernel. Does it still work well on CM12.1?

Lol, good to know that it works.
btw, is it possible for you to update that kernel? adding new upstream changes or it isn't necessary?

That's what I was trying to do when I messed up the merge, I think the trouble is rather minor, just been busy at work.

Oh I see. Anyway, take your own time and if you need any testings from me, just let me know.
Hi
I like this rom so far, but I was hoping to reinstall the Beats sound back. I downloaded the apk, but it says an error when I try to install. The music through the speakers sound rather tinny without it. Has anyone installed Beats or anything similar to improve the sound quality?
Thank you.
So I have been using this rom since the 25th as a daily driver, I actually have had only 1 random reboot (unlike on the cm12 rom I had previously where it would reboot almost every day) Camera seems to work flawless where some have reported that it reboots but is def fixed.
I am having one major issue where I get no service 90% of my day, and I only get an exclamation point next to my service bars. The only way to *sometimes* get it back is by going into my mobile network settings and toggling the preferred network type back and forth from global/CDMA + LTE/EvDo/EvDo only/CDMA w/o EvDo/GSM only (where GSM only was to force it out of the proper net type and back in so I could toggle it back to CDMA base right after) And sometimes that didnt even work. I would also toggle airplane mode on and off with similar results. It is quite frustrating. Does this have anything to do with the fact that I never updated my stock radio/kernel? Does anybody know a fix to this? GPS also isn't working (and hasn't been for over a year)
Other than that everything else is working great, best CM12+ rom out so far! Please, if anyone knows of a solution to my connection issues please share! Thanks!

[ROM][Official] Vanir & Commotio [JFLTESPR][7.1.2]03-07-2018

Vanir and Commotio Nougat 7.1.2 for Sprint Galaxy S4
Not gonna make a fancy thread here or pretend to be a maintainer or developer . Just thought some of you might be interested to know that Nuclear Mistake and DHO of Vanir team have been building Nougat for this device for a few months and are still actively building . I've been running both roms for 5 months and both run superbly . Right now the newest Vanir build is 05-09 and Commotio is 05-28 . The sweet thing about these two roms is you can dirty flash them over each other . In fact I was running Vanir until a few minutes ago and flashed Commotio over it , No issues .
Since no one has mentioned it I decided to make a thread for discussion , to help with any problems or to answer questions . I mean everybody can chip in and help each other . Commotio is more of the cutting edge experimental rom . It's DHO's side rom where new features , rom changes are incorporated first for testing so it could be a little more apt to hiccup from time to time . Very seldom have I had any issue with it but I do log bugs and stuff for DHO and he usually fixes things fairly quickly . Vanir is more of the refined rom . Both currently have the May security patch .
On to the vital info ..

Link to DHO's Commotio builds http://www.emccann.net/dho/3-Vanir-mirror/4-nighties/
Both have substratum , everthing I use in a rom pretty much works flawlessly . Maybe you'll use a feature I don't and find an issue . If so report it here and lets log it . Both roms are gorgeous , substratum and other updates are kept up to date which is very important for substratum theming . I use open gapps and I haven't had a problem with these roms for months . Hope this helps you out there if you happen to be looking for a good current rom that's updated frequently with vital updates and monthly Google security patch for this device.
I've been running Vanir and Commotio for a good 3 years . Both Nuke and DHO are real pro's and usually out with new Android versions as fast as anyone and when you look at the rom link you'll see they build for a ton of devices .
Alrighty ya'll , nuff said for now ...

Future use
Don't everybody talk at once but new Vanir build up http://www.emccann.net/nuclearmistake/VanirAOSPNightlies/jfltespr/

My service is working fine in the USA on Sprint/Ting . Where are you located and are you on the Tri-band or regular S4 ? Your best bet would be to inquire at the Vanir G+ community to see if they can accommodate your specific need . Like I said , it's working perfect for me here .

I'm from Uganda and it still not working with most of custom roms, and also the wizCyan s6 port(a little fair though. just has cell service drop) and I have the sprint s4 I think its unlocked that's how I'm able to use local networks but on stock roms only
Using Commotio with open gapps pico on my FreedomPop S4 and has been working great! Also applied FreedomPop APN patch (by habit) but I don't think I needed it.
I no longer have the data drop outs, nor do I have to reboot to bring data back online.
Hey.

So I downloaded and installed the latest commotio, and it all seems to work except for the phone. I can make and receive calls, but no one can hear my voice on the other end, either using the microphone built into the phone, or a headset. Any suggestions?

I was able to resolve the issue by updating from the 7/8(ish) version to the 7/18
Why have I never heard of this Rom? How well does it work with the SPH-L720T? I'm on lineageOS 7.1.2. Extremely laggy with no lte. I wonder if I can dirty flash over it? Thanks

Its fully shutting off. I have this problem with both vanir and commotio. I has something to do with magisk. I run the magisk uninstall and disable the manager. It temp fixes it but u can't have root or install certain apps. Wish they would release builds without magisk too.
I've tried both versions of this custom ROM and it's still nomas on functional a

I was having a bunch of issues with this and other ROMs when I initially tried installing them from other ROMs. But what got it to finally work perfectly is flashing the stock firmware onto the phone then rerooting it and flashing it clean.
Now I use my phone is with no issues.
