Bugs
Known bugs:
smart lock with NFC crashes settings
Mobile network is always half the signal strength
Mute not working in calls
Message while flashing in recovery
I'm getting a message: "mount failed dev/block/mmcblk0p12 at /data: Device or resource busy"
That is because of the new type of flashing. It's still flashing though and takes a while. Be patient.
Bootloop
My device bootloops! What can I do?
Before thinking your device is bootlooping, give it at the very least 5 minutes, art takes a while to optimize during the 1st boot.
If that doesn't work, try philz latetst touch recovery.
Get it here
Download the .tar file if you want to flash using Odin.
Use the .zip file if you already have a custom recovery (CWM, TWRP etc)
If that doesn't work try this:
1- cleanly flash nameless 4.4.4 without gapps
2- then boot it up
3- then flash nameless 5.0 and gapps without wipes
4- then boot it up
5- then flash the cm12 without wipes

Keyboard isn't working
Whaaa, I have no keyboard, whats wrong?
Enable "Hardware" on Keyboard settings
No 3G/data
Isn't working yet. Nameless ROM 2.0 has it working but is still testing it before they release it.
No status bar
I have no status bar and no lock screen, whats wrong?
Did you flash any other kernel? Use stock embedded kernel (reflash ROM to use stock kernel)
Wifi problems
How can I get wifi working on my murata chipped S3?
Try this:

SD-card problems
I'm unable to use my SD card!
EXT4 and a variety of other filesystems are not supported.
Only FAT32 is supported up till now (until CyanogenMod supports the orther filesystems)
Root
I lost root!
Flash SuperSU in recovery.

CM11 features
CM11 feature 'x' isn't working anymore/missing, when is it available again?
Don't ask for features or ETA's.
The devs are doing this in their spare time FOR FREE!
If you can, you can try to help by learning how to build and code the features (see Building your own CM12 build for the i9300 below)
Changelog
Mainly only new CM12 commits.
Best and easiest what you can do is check this site: http://www.cmxlog.com/12
Dual boot
Can I dual boot this ROM?
Yes:
Extended tutorial with screenshots here
well you can only dualboot LolliPop if it is 1st ROM, i.e you can not use multiboot.zip to flash the alpha CM12 to 2nd ROM directly
you have to backup current apps on the ROM,
wipe data/factory reset from Philz Recovery provided by arter97,
install the Alpha CM12 zip,
then flash arter97 kernel (4.0-beta1),
then flash multiboot.zip followed by the ROM you want and restore your apps when booting in the 2nd ROM
BUT...
- You can't do phone calls (IMEI and Baseband was OK)
- You can't pull down the notification bar, I tried, tried, one finger, two, staring it... but don't... T_T
Because of arter97 kernel
Nameless 2.0 commits
I found the commits of Nameless, can we use it to get 3G working?
No, those commits aren't complete yet.

Awesome ROM, where can I donate to help the devs buy some beer?
You can donate on all dev on their profiles, all have option "Donate to me". Also You can see this option below my avatar on ledt this post. But don't forget I'm not developer.

Working: - updater-script (flashing) - kernel (booting) - OpenGL (CPU rendering) - MALI blobs (GPU rendering) - HWComposer and MALI R4P0 drivers - Rotation - Camera (this DOES NOT include stock camera app, use e.g. google camera) - WiFi - Bluetooth - NFC (Android Beam) - Sensors (ALL!) - Internal / External SD Card - Vibration Partially working: - RIL (No 3G, broken sim unlock, make sure you have no simlock before flashing this, or your SIM will be locked!) Not working: - GPS (totally, however location through WiFi is possible) GPS and 3G should be fixed when @dhiru1602 push his NamelessROM updates. Sim unlock - no clue. This is NOT A STABLE BUILD. I STRONGLY suggest to use only stock kernel bundled with the ROM and ArchiKernel V1.6+ for R4P0, unless you want to face other issues |
