Hey Clark,

I came across a thread on the international galaxy s3 side where a developer tweaked the auto brightness levels so that screen is not sooo dim in direct sunlight and there is less flickering of the display due to the auto brightness reading the sensor levels.

His fix is here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1791163 (I used the stock XXBLG1 version)

I tested it on my s3 on your ROM v0.06 and can confirm it works.

Maybe you can include it in next update 0.07?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] phaseL:
Nice, All Share hub support! Now if only those hubs were available for purchase.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] spydc:
WOW thanks so much for this info. Did you use the Bestscreen version or the Galaxy Note version?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rcastel2:
I used the best screen version. He said he prefers it so that's what I used
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] clark44:
I will implement that brightness hack into v0.0.7

I am aware of the LG4 update. I'm in the process of finding the zip containing the update files. I will implement the update and push the release. Sorry for the delay but Sprint messed up my day haha. Latest release date: tomorrow.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] .Bambino:
Sounds good to me bro. Intl version of this phone has some nice things over there I must say. But that's fine I have confidence in my devs that we will be on top eventually. Keep up the good work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mlin:
Great ROM Clark! This is the best battery life I've experienced on this phone so far. Also, for anyone interested, the ics theme for the 15 custom toggles works great!

Did anyone try the brightness mod on the v0.0.6 rom? I see absolutely no difference in auto brightness. It is still extremely dim almost like the screen is set to 0%. :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rcastel2:
Yes I tried the brightness mod on 0.06 and Clark said he will put it in the v0.07 ROM.

But if you want to use the hack yourself, I posted the thread a few posts back. Use the stock XXBLG1 best screen version
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] spydc:
Did you see a difference? I applied the hack "best screen" version and auto brightness is still the same. It is still very dim for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rcastel2:
Yes I did see a difference. The screen doesn't flicker that much anymore and it is definitely more readable in direct sunlight.

Under the power saving on the settings, I only have "Save color in internet" unchecked. On the internet brightness settings, I have default color. No power savings needed there cause then its unreadable in direct sunlight
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rcastel2:
Also under settings-display-unxheck auto adjust screen tone to save power.

You should see a difference after unchecking those 2 items
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] spydc:
I tried it again and it works. Very cool.

i just wish the default level was a tad bit brighter in normal lighting.

Naddict,

Actually, you are incorrect, I've asked Clark about this a while back and never got an answer then. If you select restart from the notification bar it will open the 3 options and it is labeled 'WanamLite Rom'. This has been in this ROM since Clark added the 15 Icon Notification mod.

I hope to get a new build up today with LI3. I just have to find the time.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] byransays:
Yes I have, it works okay...I say that as in the features it offers is amazing....but the CPU seems to get "stuck" on frequencies. Like it will spool up to 700 something and won't go up or down after that so I went back to trinity. A shame because the agat kernel offers 192mhz low frequency where the trinity is 398mhz

Nice... Fyi... Ramon asked for the reboot toggle fix (WanamLite)... And btw... The A22 kernel is really nice.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rustyt22:
I am currently on the Jelly Bean AOKP Rom and am trying to install Sonic-FreeGS3 on my Sprint S3. I need help figuring out what I missed. I installed GooManager and the OpenRecovery Script. I put the zip file on my memory card and then backed up, wiped system, wiped cache, dalvik cache, and then installed zip. It went through complete installation, said successful, and restarted.

Unfortunately, it freezes on the SAMSUNG screen every restart now and I have to take the battery out. I have re installed multiple times with same result so I know its something I am doing wrong, but just cant figure out what it is. Any ideas to assist?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dragon_rckr:
you also need to wipe factory/reset. So it would be wipe System, Factory reset, cache and dalvik and then install the FreeGS3 0.1.1 zip.

Are you able to get back into recovery?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rustyt22:
I get back into recovery just fine. I reinstalled my nandroid backup and can use my phone, but would really like to get on this ROM. Ididnt write it I guess, but I did all of the things you listed. Just forgot to put them down on the post.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dragon_rckr:
What message does it return?

It should install ok if you follow those steps while in TWRP recovery, select what you want to install from Aroma installer.

Try the vid below on how to install the rom, it might help. Haven't seen it yet due to my crappie 3G at work.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4ktxNWosSo&feature=youtube_gdata_player
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rustyt22:
Yeah, that's exactly what I did. I even chose different options in Aroma such as stock, sense theme, and MIUI, then would choose all Nova Launcher once and the TouchWiz launcher next seeing if that was the problem at all. Nothing seemed to work at all for me. How long should it sit at the SAMSUNG screen before it boots up the first time?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ramondel:
I flashed it myself and it was very laggy and unresponsive. It's a shame because it had Naddicts boot animation capabilities. What governor did you try? I tried Adaptive and it froze on me. I then tried Pegasusq, and it would not stick. I flashed Trinity A22 back but qill give Agat some feedback though.

Ramon
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dragon_rckr:
Just edited my post to include a how to install this rom.

It should go past the Samsung screen in seconds. It could be a bad download, download again from the OP and try to install that copy.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ramondel:
I beg to differ, but flashing a new ROM after full wipe will take more than a few seconds to get past the 'Samsung' screen, it it more like a few minutes. I suggest that the rusty22 just reboot and let it sit.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jfin79:
Sometimes upon install it will hang on the galaxy s lll screen if after a couple minutes it doesn't boot and start optimizing apps try pulling the battery or long hold the power button to just reboot the phone and let it try and boot again I have had to do this with this rom almost every time
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] eMi111:

That being said, the last day or two I've had an issue with charging my S3. It will never FULLY charge to 100% It will get to like 93-95% and display lower % while it's on the charger. Is the battery bad? Is there a setting that's off??

Any help is greatly appreciated.
