I have the T mobile LTE (t999l) GS 3, willth above method work for that?
Yes the above method will work
I love the room so far, however I do not have any bars. My wife works, but why would I not be able to receive text messages?
THanks!!
Autocorrect! WiFi works.
Hey Max,
I installed this ROM on my S3 and it was cool I guess, the camera was the best part. I did end up switching back to my daily driver C-ROM v. 7.1. Is there any way to pull the camera apk out of the One Plus One ROM and flash it onto my C-ROM?
Thanks,
Nate
Nevermind I got it. Tried to pull out screencast as well but it wouldn’t work. Is it just not compatible with my S3 maybe?
pull out camera from zip file, store it on sd card, install, and then, using TB, convert it to sys app. works 4 me that way.
I got the data working, it must have been a bad install. However, I tried to enable the V flashlight but do not have the ‘Interface’ option. Is there a way to get this?
I was wondering if I can flash this to any other rom that use cyanogen base
yes you can, if it’s version is above 01.08.2014 🙂
1. CM11VolumeBoost – does it workss on all i9300 or just on SPRINT SAMSUNG GALAXY S3?
2. Can I install HighOnAndroid One Plus One Conversion Kit on my liquid room – LS-KK-v3.2-2014-08-07-i9300?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Yes works for all. Not sure on Liquid though, I haven’t tried.
Anyone having poor battery life with this? I came from slimkat which was great apart from didn’t seem bright enough, and I love the cm11 but it seems to run out of juice very quickly.
Yea It’s A Battery Hog Even With Having All Apps Hibernated It Still Dies Pretty Quick
I really like this rom, but i cannot figure out how to get 4g with the newer ROMs. The older ROMs i can enter my information manually with access through the phone dialer ##3282#. How doi enter my Boost Mobile info on the new rooms?
OK so I found the apn settings in hangouts and changed them to boost Mobile manually. I will update if that corrects my 4g problems tomorrow when I go into a 4g area.
Doesn’t fix 4g issues with boost. I eventually had to use Odin and flash several fixes to get 4g back on my boost mobile phone…… customs roms are not for boost or Virgin……. sigh! I do love this website and what you guys do for everyone
Can you help me w. The 4g lte.. Cant figure it out..thanx..
Has anyone tried installing on S3 i535 Verizon model?
I have, it was fantastic. The only thing that made me go back to Liquids month as my daily rom was the fact that I couldn’t get cell service inside my apartment (concrete walls) everywhere else it was fine. It was a smooth too. I have a backup through rom manager that I restore at times so I can use the rom when I’m not home
Everything working great… Except for hangouts not sending my SMSs. I can receive them but the keep saying ‘failed’ when I try to send. Anyone having this issue or have any suggestions??
Downloaded a third party SMS app and that’s not working either.. Receiving texts but not able to send..
Reflashed and wiped everything.. All good.. Great ROM!
Hey Max what’s up? Why haven’t you uploaded any new custom rooms recently? Just asking cause I really like your rooms and I want to try out more :D. Keep doing the great work!
Hye max, help me out – “Unfortunately, AudioFx has stopped” i cant seem to OK it, it keeps on poping up. I cant even pass the welcome page. International s3.
Pls ignore. I’ve manage to fix it.
