Lots of issues
I've read plenty of reported issues that I can say I've been having as well (volume sticking at max in calls, mms not working on wifi, etc.) and I'm here to report another issue that REALLY bothers me.
About once or twice a day, the phone decides to restart, I've found that typing quickly in the keyboard can help instigate this. I really want to like this ROM but I really can't when it does this consistently. So far carbon is superior to every other ROM I've tried for various reasons (PAC was too heavy/had glitches, CM was featureless, Slim was just awful) but it's really frustrating to have an issue like this one combined with all the reported issues.
As a side note changing any settings in the camera causes it to crash and the infamous "Cannot connect to camera" message to appear if the app is restarted.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Phone: Sprint SPH-L710 running carbon build: CARBON-KK-NIGHTLY-20141106-0907 with stock kernel.
(I should mention my messaging app is hangouts and if at all possible I'd like to leave it that way. I did read it might be an app/carrier issue but I'm really hoping someone will tell me otherewise)

The link to the new thread from the sprint thread brought me here. Not to mention they are unified now hence d2lte vs d2spr as sprint would've been and d2vzw as I assume verizon would've been. The fact that the link to the "new thread" lead here would lead me to believe this is where they host the unified thread for the new unified ROM that works on all of the unified devices (all s3 devices except the international i9200 I believe)
Edit: I should insert here that I would've posted on the forum had it let me, but xda wanted me to post here instead. Honestly since the unification of ROMs it's often been confusing finding what places apply to your device. I'll be reposting this in the sprint Q&A if it exists, but I do still believe it is relevant to the rom in general.

Sometimes the redirection of threads confuses me especially the Q&A ones that always seem to claim that the OP/developer asked for, when I've noticed most times that isn't even the case

I just installed RandomKing's "ThunderHawk III Final" rom:

I noticed I have a bug with my wireless not working, and wanted to report that, but apparently the forum prevents new users from posting to development threads. Must I really make 10 random posts just so I can do that? (I realize I may be able to PM RandomKing directly, but I figure it'd be good for other users to also be aware of what bugs are out there for these roms ...)
I guess I'm a little annoyed at being prevented from doing something that I considered "good" for the community ...

Did you read threw the thread to see if others had this issue? What did you do to try and fix it? Did you look in the Q&A forums in your device forums?

Yeah, I read through the tread, and as far as I can tell, the bug's been persistent through several versions of the rom. It was claimed that it was fixed with his latest version, but I guess not ...
The only fix I had found was to reboot the phone Today, the "app" to make calls (I think it's called "phone?") crashed several times, meaning I can't call people reliably, so I think I'm going to try a different rom. Thanks again for your help though!
same here. I'm having an issue with another rom myself, and just want to post to the developer a major bug that I am having. I read throug the entire forum post for that rom, and no one else mentioned the issue that I'm having.
its pretty bazaar that I when I answer a call waiting call no one can hear me. If I switch back to the original call, the same problem happens no one can hear me. This is only when i get another incoming phone call.
The rom i installed is for Energy Rom sense 3.5
Haha, well, if we keep posting to places like this, I guess we'll soon hit our 10 post limit
FYI for anyone that cares, I just installed CleanGB v1.1.2 (for the Epic 4G):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22241642
So far it seems pretty good. If I run into any issues, I guess I'll be posting here again xP
As already stated. There are Q&A forums for most devices. Use them.

PREFACE:
Okay, I'm sure like many of you, I'm starting to get a bit tired of development threads being turned into repetitive Q&A threads where questions go unanswered, so I thought I'd start a thread here in the PROPER section and provide a link in the official thread that (hopefully) doesn't get buried. So please, if someone keeps asking a repeat question, direct them here so proper development in that thread doesn't get buried.
SO ANYWAYS,
So far, I'll just leave this here and let it get populated, and update the OP accordingly as common issues come in. Hard to tell when exactly build 2a issues came about, because many issues were fixed (as well as found) when 2/2a was released.
IF YOU HAVE AN ISSUE
Check here first: Google Code Issue Page
This is a collaboration of all major issues that have been presented and have been fixed in major alpha updates. If you have an issue that's listed here, please don't ask about it, as it's already been acknowledged and probably already being worked on.
If you have a potential answer to any of those problems, please, feel free to post what worked for you to fix it. (After all, this is a Q&A thread, right? )
I'll try and keep this OP updated as much as I can with issues that are presented but not on the Google code page. Just thought I'd make this thread to ease a bit off the main thread and also make users' subscriptions to it actually USEFUL and not have them be notified when someone is simply asking how to get Instagram working or when we'll get sources.

Could be just me maybe I should do a fresh install. But I have noticed when I restore cm9 from recovery I miss calls an texts randomly.

I think that may actually be a problem with the rom itself. There is a known issue that cell signal drops every so often, and that may be what is causing you to miss things. One of the big reasons top doesn't recommend this as a daily driver quite yet.
Yeah LOL bit too late figuring that out...after the gf yelling I been texting an calling all day. Maybe I should actually be glad got rid of one head ache CM9 ftw :thumbup:

Hi everyone,
I obviously own a Samsung galaxy s 3. I've been playing around with ROMs recently, and found that I do really like CleanROM. However CleanROM, like most of the other ROMs I have tried to use have god awful GPS support. Typically this wouldn't be a big big downfall, but I'm moving in a few weeks and will need navigation just so I don't get lost haha
Anyway my question is this: does anyone know of a good, lightweight ROM that GPS actually works on? +1 internets to people who help me out
Thanks!

I just jumped onto that page and I will try this ROM tonight and report back
I'm on synergy 169 and my GPS is fine. Not a lot of people actually turn it on. Most people turn on the gos but I'd you go to settings scroll down to accounts then select Google then location settings then make sure box if checked to allow Google as pps to access your location. First time connecting to navigation took about 5 min. Maps located instantly but navigation always takes longer.

Reporting back, I like CleanROM so much I decided to just check and see if there was an updated version. Turns out there is (5.6 ad opposed to 5.5.1 that I had) I'm on the car on the way to work now and GPS is working fine. I'll check out Synergy as well as the person above me said. Thanks everyone!
if youre ever in GPS issues download gpsfix from the market, get a lock and your issue should go away.
Anyone know of a fully working TW ROM that has multi-window enabled?

I did do a search, I've looked through hundreds of posts in the past week. Synergy has multi-window, but cant scroll though 1000 pages to see what the bugs are (OP doesnt list current bugs), easier for me to post in Q&A section. Dam, if you post a question related to the ROM in the development thread you catch crap, if I post in Q&A, I catch crap. Make up your mind.

I recently upgraded from a Nexus 4. I was unlucky when I purchased my S4 because it came with the MF3 firmware. It's really important for me to be able to run custom roms on my phone. I know that using the safestrap method I can install TW based roms but I'd like to have more options available to me. It seems as though this has been the case for a while now. Should I just return my phone and purchase something else or wait for a fix in the future? Also, with the 4.3 update coming soon for the AT&T S4, will this effect my ability to use the safestrap method?

A. You need to search, the question you asked about safestrap has been answered several times as well as it can be answered at this point.
B. Only you can decide if you want to take the phone back or not. How is anyone supposed to make that decision for you? If you need information to help you make the decision, I suggest you read the "pinned" threads in the General and Q&A sections and also read the threads that are on the front couple of pages of those sections. Good luck.

I would say return it if you really care about flashing custom roms, get the nexus 5 if you want pure Android experience. Otherwise, you could keep it and wait for the flashing method to becomes available.
@scott14719
There is nothing wrong asking for a second opinion. move on.
Mod Edit profanity
I say return it. There a plenty of options out there. My girlfriend just bought the lg g2 it's a very good phone. Or like was mentioned above the nexus 5 if you want pure android.

... thanks buddy. the reason i ask is because maybe there is a developer reading this who might be able to give me a clearer timetable on when a fix might be released. it seems as though this has been an ongoing problem with no fix in sight. if the problem were to be fixed within the next month or so i'd be interested in keeping the phone. hence, why i ask the community for advice. it's not as though i'm a little child who doesn't know how to spend his money. and my question about the update/safestrap issue isn't clearly answered on the OP's FAQ... maybe if i sifted through thousands of pages. you go out of your way to write a lengthy MOD EDIT response yet fail to answer the question that could be easily answered much faster.
Anyone who buys an S4 or Note 3 from AT&T right now isMOD EDIT And did not do their homework before buying.
I'm lucky because I got my S4 the first day it was released, so I can run any ROM I want, including AOSP. But as of recently, nobody who buys a new S4 or Note 3 can run REAL custom ROM's, ever (as of today). And I'm talking AOSP of course.
When the first of my two current AT&T contracts is up (June '14), I'm ditching AT&T and going to T-Mobile.
I'll sell my used S4 to cover the cost of prematurely ending my second contract.
MOD EDIT AT&T.
I still love Samsung though. And have no plans to leave Samsung phones as long as they continue to give us removeable battery covers and MicroSD card slots.
Read and make a decision on your own. No one can decide it for you...the end!
Consider the Thread closed.
To the OP the reply to search and read is the best reply. The #1 rule on XDA is search. Your remark to the individual suggesting to search and read is unwarranted.
Also questions go in the Q&A section not in General. Please read the XDA rules here and familiarize yourself with them.
To all others profanity is not permitted on XDA in any style or form. Masked profanity is profanity. Also abusive name calling is not tolerated.
Thank you for your future attention to this.

GPS???
Okay, Love PAC rom and all, but I've flashed days after and the GPS STILL does not work. Can you guys throw out a fix asap? I need my GPS quite a bit, and this rom is my favorite. Don't want to have to switch back and forth between two roms just to use GPS lol
There's quite a few GPS fixes out for Roms in general you might wanna try:
1 tightening screws under the battery cover.
2. An app like GPS status to fix GPS.conf or check the thread in development dedicated to GPS fixes.
3. Go back to a TW rom get a good GPS lock then reflash your rom.
Or it could be an issue with the Tom itself if no one else has reported issues. Most aosp Roms have things like this worked out.
Good luck I hope this helps. I use GPS essentials to check my satellite count and other info GPS status may do this but my personal preference is the former.
My question is about paranoid and pacmans flagship feature of changing dpi of apps without changing it system wide. I dont know what its called but I asked in paranoid a few month's ago and they said it wasn't there just yet. Is it in pac at this time? I've always wanted to try it.I know its in older builds but last I asked it wasn't in 4.4 yet.

Will this ROM work with Galaxy Gear 2?
If not, is there a way to dual boot this with my AOKP ROM?
2 small issues
Love the ROM, but I am having 2 small issues
1. I cannot end a call with the headset button. It works to answer a call and to control music, but I cannot end a call by clicking the button. Is this a bug, or is there a setting somewhere.
2. It randomly reboots while using Waze (GPS App). Any suggestions?
Thanks
