Thanks. I didn't know that. I flashed it but I like the customization aspect of being able to pick which apps I can access from the lockscreen like a CM Rom. I'll just stick with Holo Locker. Thanks again.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ChaosTime86:
I'd recommend a full wipe, but not necessary. Some have had good luck flashing dirty, but if you come across a problem no 1 would help until you flash clean.

Clark has a modem flasher in the themes, and apps section. I use LI3 because it works better for me where I live at now. LG8 worked the best for me at the last place I lived. It's more of a personal preference. Sprints stock rom will say your on 3G even if your using 1X. Clarks rom has a mod that shows you what your really using on data. Which is why your seeing 1X a lot more now.

I think you are right, the Mayans actually predicted Clark's release of the 3.0 on page 1221 at 12:21 PM on 12-21.;):cool:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] view9234:
Sorry for asking a noob question, but what exactly is included in a 'full wipe?' outside of cache, davlik cache & system?

Also (just so I have a better understanding) is everyone having issues with Sprint's modems? I have to say that this is the only real issue I've encountered with this phone, but I'm baffled that it still exists even though the phone has been released for 6+ months. It takes me 500% longer to reconnect from a lost signal (in subway) than any other Sprint phone I've had before and also randomly loses data connection all the time! Without moving, the phone will cycle from no signal to having almost a perfect signal in about 60 seconds. It's a huge pain, to be honest! (It also has yet to roam on a Verizon tower.) I almost wonder if I need to do a full wipe (once I understand what that includes) to try and fix my phone...?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ChaseBroyles:
Full wipe includes data too.

I personally haven't had any modem issues. I have constant data and perfect switches from Sprint to roaming. You might want to try some older modems to see if they work better for you.

One thing you might want to try is getting Fresh Network from the play store. On my old phone I had problems switching back from roaming so I just ran Fresh Network and it fixed it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] view9234:
Sorry to follow-up with another noob question, but you say a full wipe includes data do you mean the 'format data' option? (I'm assuming so, but want to be sure so I don't brick my phone!) Thanks again!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Shadefactor:
If you wanna lose all your internal storage...full wipe meaning factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] view9234:
Ok, so the recommended way to flash to FreeGS3 from stock root is: wipe cache, davlik cache, system & factory reset (in that order)?

I'm assuming that immediately after the factory reset, you need to flash a ROM, not re-booting after factory reset (as your carrier could push an OTA update which would kill root), right?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hayzooos:
Agreed. I'm just curious where Naddict finds all these??!! Does he have his own secret stash somewhere?

I always do Factory Reset, Cache, Dalvik, then System, but I don't know if the order really matters. And since Factory Reset includes Cache, you can probably take that step out.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ChaseBroyles:
Once you wipe system it won't boot until you install a ROM or flash something with Odin so you don't have to worry about an OTA.

I'm wondering if anyone else is having similar issues? I came to this ROM from sprint stock to hopefully get rid of the bad battery drain. ALAS, to little success as I've only been able to delete the media apps that were causing the media server battery drain to show up when using an Si card. It still shows up just at about 2-5% (why?! Curse you). Could it be the stock kernel? The gps from latitude shouldn't even use that much and I keep seeing in the notification pull down menu : "Ongoing - Searching using GPS " from time to time. I don't think that's what is at fault here. Is it Google now? I'm barely using it. Even at home with wifi and full signal (i have an airave) I still get this idle drain of about 2% per 30mins.

Edit: :x just from being Idle in 20 mins lost 1% already. This is driving me insane

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] raishiro:
great rom. just tried it out. everything works as expected. though, might i suggest a slight cosmetic change? I dislike the branded boot animations and shutdowns most carriers give us. Replacing the startup animation is relatively simple, but as the shutdown animation goes we are still stuck with seeing SPRINT flash with pretty yellow colors. I got sick of it so I ripped the shutdown animation from my Galaxy Player and replaced it with this one and it worked!

http://www.mediafire.com/?c958yie6bc89t2y

This version just shows the samsung logo disappearing in blue dust. You can take the linked file above and toss it into /system/media/video/shutdown, optionally backing up your original qmg in the process. make sure the permissions are the same as your backup otherwise it wont work (and your phone will freeze!)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Forboding Angel:
Clark, if I may make a suggestion... Give those of us who mirror the rom the link first so we can get it and ease the traffic load. I, for example, have 35/35 so I can have the file mirrored in no time, once I actually have the file, but attempting to mirror a file when you're only getting a dl speed of 50 - 100 kbps isn't fun.

Ideally, we could balance the load easily, and you'd only have to delay release by 15 minutes or so.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DevalB:
I wonder if someone can take this and make it into a flashable zip.

What permissions are for the stock file?

I currently have an S3 that i'm evaulating during my trial period. I'm torn between this device and the Evo 4G LTE. I'm so eager to try these roms but I see there is no way to reset the binary flash counter so i don't want to ruin my opportunity to return the phone :(

In any event, is it possible to make a custom rom where the auto brightness levels are tweaked? The default auto brightness level is way too dim. It seems to default to 25% or something. Is it possible to increase the brightness levels beyond the current 100%?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mr Ian B:
I got an evo lte on day one and got my GS 3 on day one from BB and returned the evo. This phone is night and day better and with more features than the evo. The evo was lagy w their sense software but overall it is a good phone but I prefer the GS 3. Try them both and make a choice.

Ian, File Expert in the Play store was updated a day or two ago with Ext SD support. Works perfectly. It's my go-to file manager. Highly recommend it.

@clark44, one of the teamwin devs, eyeballer on rootzwiki, had implemented a diff builds scheme for the touchpad unofficial nightlies and worked with the goo manager people to integrate it into their system. it worked great. it might be more trouble than it's worth, but...pretty neat idea especially if you're releasing often. then again, so much is likely to change so early in gs3 development that it might not make much of a difference in the size of file downloads. anyway, just thought i'd mention it.

By the way this rom is unbelievable. Have been on the phone since 7 am this morning and still have 48% left. That's with surfing, Facebook, streaming music, installing apps, text and email.

Actually SetCPU will only give you an option for changing your voltages if the kernel supports it. I am assuming the kernel in this rom is basically stock with few changes to make it unsecured for adb enablement. Set CPU looks at your kernel and disables functions not compatible. Please read below, which was copied directly off the SetCPU online help .

*The Voltages tab is only available with some custom kernels and devices. If the Voltages tab is available, it will automatically show up between the Governor and Profiles tabs. Otherwise, the Voltages tab is unavailable.*

The AudioOut_1 wake lock seems to be associated with the UI unlock sounds.

Settings > Sound

Uncheck "Touch sounds"

Uncheck "Screen lock sound"

See if that AudioOut_1 wakelock goes away after you do this..... It has accounted for 80 instances of waking your phone.

The second biggest one seems to be Titanium Backup. Did it by chance do a backup during that time? It shows that it accounts for 10% all in one count so I'm assuming that it did a backup during that time. How often to you redo your backups?

Look back a few pages, it's being beta tested by a few testers right now. It was mentioned that there are a few small bugs being worked on before it is released. It's not like he's sitting on it, it will be posted when it's ready.

I personally like quality over quantity. Every release we've seen has been very solid and virtually bug free. Lots of devs make constant releases, and they release an update that breaks a bunch of stuff that was working in previous releases. I'm glad Clark doesn't work that way.

heres the thing :/ i dont know if it was because of the kernel I used back then or the ROM but ive had google now on my HTC Sensation via Cyanogenmod and it never really drained battery at all! especially considering all i had was a silly 1750 mAh battery compared to this 2100mAh which is draining faster.

I keep thinking the only thing unchanged from stock sprint rom and this rom is the kernel and i want to pin it on that just because ive used Google Now previously (on other devices) and the drain was not bad at all. AND i had latitude turned on too.

will try :)

Though i really wanna ask. On Medium-heavy usage how much does everyone's battery tend to last? I used to be able to get about 12-15hours without having to worry about a charger (about 20% left). And ive had it last 25+ Hours (different phone, running 4.1.2) . on This phone with a better battery i maybe get 10-12 heavy usage with the same settings :/

Yes, v2 is compatable with other kernels...specifically ktoonsez I know. You can search other threads for ktoonsez kernel and find some good settings established by galaxyman3 and mh86 (I believe that's his name). Not too sure about the Agat kernal and specific settings.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] TheSocalGuy79:
Yeah I did read back. It was a joke is all.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nkawal:
V3 comes with stock, ktoonsez & Agat kernel. Your choice thru aroma install. I'm testing and still using the stock kernel.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MontyPyFly:
most people would use that term on this ROM to mean "it is the best battery life of any rom!"

Since you are one of the very few with an un corrected battery drain issue, we must assume it is something specific to your set up, and not the rom. :-\

First, you should probably do a fresh install with a complete wipe. (if you did a dirty flash, then you have only yourself to blame :) )

Perhaps something got funky somewhere along the line and a fresh download and install will fix it. (then rename Gsiff-Daemon and qosmgr)

Make sure, if you are restoring data from a backup, that you ONLY install app data and NOT system data. You should also run the rom as long as you can without ANY restored info to make sure its is not some corrupt data you are restoring from some rogue app.

I did notice that Maps was appearing on people's battery usage more lately, but deleting it and reinstalling from the app store seemed to fix that issue. it was conflicting with some other file on the phone, but it was not determined which, or if all the issues were related to dirty flashing.

Now, all that said..... 10-12 hours of heavy usage is great on a phone like this. Maybe on a clam shell style feature phone with a 2" screen you could get better, but on this ROM people are getting awesome battery life compared to stock.

If you do a search in this thread for "battery life" you will find tons of people reporting their life and usage......
