Good to hear... Nice to see familiar faces over here... Kg123 ought to heading this way too. I recall a post about a family member staying with him until next week. Then he'll have more time... Or something like that. BTW... This rom is definitely the one for GS3. Clark44 is a good dev, very responsive and accommodating. And has his & #j@$ together. I think he's a witch too :) But don't tell him I said that... Lol.... :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fgcchevy:
I have a question. I was trying to take a pic, with my battery below 5%, and it would not let me take one. It kept telling me my battery was to low. On my og evo, it would let me take a pic, but would disable flash, when battery got to low. Is this something in the rom or does it do that stock also? I was wondering if that could be hacked?

I know that is not ideal to be taking pics, but I am trying to drain my battery to the point of dying, then recharging, and at that moment I needed to take a quick pic. Tia

how odd to be called THAT !

Yuuup, in the style of Will Ferrell... Forget what movie. :)

There are a couple Mystical Developers that are relying on more than just sole brain capacity.... Some are borne with these mystical traits and powers, and thus, witches. I know of five such rom/dev/theme witches. All with there own unique abilities. Almost like a mmorpg....you set out into an unknown world.... But I digress.... :D

Just Flash It !!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] IRatchett:
Loved the rom but my DATA stopped working, and the only way to fix it was to reboot or turn data off then back on
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Naddict:
Sounds like a ....DIRTY FLASH....did you wipe all three and try again? :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] IRatchett:
yup, the installer is awesome. Gonna try again for sure lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Naddict:
V6 Supercharger

Just curious...anyone install the script on this rom yet? any performance increases or decreases...any comments or observations? Please share.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Skunk Ape1:
I tried the super charger script on my nexus s4g many times, on many different roms, and on every one of them it caused multiple issues that always went away after the scripts were removed. I absolutely came to hate it.

Really not sure if it is even of merit now, two gbs of ram and tweaks already baked in... I am thinking about 85 percent of folks who try it, end up removing it. But I am still curious to hear from the adventurous who do install it. That being said, no slight against the Dev and the poster here.... :D

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jiffy1080:
What issues did you have. I had it on my epic and couldn't live without it. I use it on my transformer prime as well.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hayzooos:
First I wanted to make a comment on battery life. I'm a pretty big golfer, but obviously don't play as much as I would like. I use SkyDroid as a GPS range finder, and I would be able to get 18-20 holes out of it on my OG Epic. If we were to play much more than about 20-22 holes in a day, it wouldn't stand a chance. I have the settings set so the GPS is continually locked on, so it doesn't have to reconnect every time I turn to screen on to see the yardage. Anyway, we played about 22-24 holes today (had to settle a match) and after the round was done, I still had 67% battery left. I was floored! I didn't have the screen on all that much, but still, the phone was awake and running for about 4.5 straight hours. Zero deep sleep time, it was running at 3XXmhz the whole time basically.

I would always need to start the round with 100% battery on the Epic and did so today as well, but just wanted to make a comment as this really impressed me.

I REALLY like what you have here. Is this theme available yet? It's very simplistic, nothing too flashy (sorry naddict) and very subtle. If this isn't available yet, are themes something we'll be able to mess with using UpdateMe? I hope so, because as soon as this is available, it's going on my phone.

Flast - Good to have another familiar face around these parts. You were always a HUGE help with the OG Epic community and I know you'll get along well with the gang in this thread. Good bunch we have here and Clark is a great dev.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Bizdady:
I wasnt planning on releasing but ill drop a link in a little, just need to change back carrier id to normal since I changed it to Bizdady.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Skunk Ape1:
Random reboots, the clock would often stop, taking a reboot to fix it and music played from anywhere (sdcsrd or streamed) sounded like a gouged cd.

my battery life went to crap on this latest update (.8) only got 6 hours.. usually get 10-13. anyway to fix this?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Tewlman252:
Anyone interested in the voltage control script produced by that app? I couldn't get it to stick with this Rom, so I pulled it from my blazer nand and pushed it to sys/etc/initl. I have mine set to 384 min, 1134 max, conservative, on demand. I know it works because I've watched the frequency in the system panel app. It never goes over what iset for. Haven't seen any lag and it should theoretically save even more battery because it's not allowing the cores to max out. I won't post it unless someone wants to try it out.

Mine started out GREAT. then today It sucked. but I added things, so I'm guessing it's something I added and not the ROM..... Just have to figure out what is causing the "Android system" to eat so much battery, even when deep sleep id 78%
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] datruth_bates:
Did you come from a clean install? If so, did you do a Titanium Backup Restore. I had the same issue after I restored by Titanium Backup. I wiped and started fresh again, currently great battery.

I must say I am getting crazy battery life out of this rom... Everything seems so smooth and fast... the innovations of twrp and aroma are amazing as well... especially aroma. just crazy innovative! I was skeptical about these things because I dont like change because everything gets confusing.... but just simple and awesome!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Lolanerd:
It's best to wipe cache, dalvik, and factory reset (data)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jdogg836:
Wipe Data too.

Our first ROM has been added to the UpdateMe application :) Screenshots and download link included.

Whats the "V6 super charger" MOD thats in the MOD section??
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Trev186:
So looking at the steps to install this rom it does not mention wiping anything.

If I am coming from stock do I need to wipe cache/data ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bigant262:
If your coming from any other rom that is not LG8, I'd suggest wiping everything. Even if you are coming from .7 I would still suggest wiping everything, I rarely "dirty" flash, its always just better to do a clean install in my opinion.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] datruth_bates:
I would wipe clean to be sure
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] platniumrover:
Is it ok to use the DATA restore from a TWRP backup of .8 after I wipe everything? Im having the same battery issue. And should I install the v8.zip on the internal or external when I install it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bauer2:
Anyone else not able to download the uninstall v6 from update me? Also I would take a screen shot but it won't let me now. The theme took away the notifications bar, the wallpaper and the buttons. Tried reinstalling it a couple of times just to be sure but no luck.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] clark44:
Fixed v6 link. About the theme, i will remove it until Bizdady fixes
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bauer2:
Right on top of things as usual thanks bro.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Skunk Ape1:
That's the same thing as a dirty flash. If you want to install this Rom, do it right.

The external is fine.

Is there a way to move an app such as titanium backup or rom toolbox so that it isn't wiped with a full wipe? If so, where would I move it from and where should I move it to?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Trev186:
Really could use some help here...

I have now redownloaded the v8 2 times and v7 1 times.

I have tried flashing each after doing a wipe data/cache/dalvink in TWRP.

The phone will not get past the samsung galaxy s3 logo....

I even tried flashing while only wiping dalvink/cache and unsuprisingly I got a boot loop to recovery...

I am no stranger to flashing but this had got me beat...

I am using the 32 GB pebble blue version
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] clark44:
Hmm. Did you try flashing a different just to see if it's working?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Trev186:
Do u mean a different rom or different version ?

I tried two different versions just in case but had not tried another Rom yet

Battery life

OK folks...for all of those past, present, and future ..who "complain" about battery life on this rom. Make sure you have good, strong signal. the basic FACT is this, your radio is straining to get good signal so that your phone has both good data and voice. That is what the hardware's job is, to seek out the best signal for the phone. That means that the hardware is using battery to do this. see below chart, print out and share with everyone....:D

Bad signal/area for signal = Battery drain at a higher rate than usual/normal (whatever that is for you)

Sit in room with wifi/airave = days at a time without alot of battery drain.

I have had my phone on for three hours and am at 99% still...but I am also sitting in the same room with wifi and airave on...When at work, I am in a bad area and use about 7% per hour cuz that phone is hunting down a signal constantly. Just the way it is.

Enjoy your weekend all. This ROM is a rocking rom...:laugh:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] _Burst_:
Morning all.

I too have had my battery life sucked dry by Android OS.

Normally, during the night, I would only loose 3% or so.

Last night on v.8 I lost 28%.

I was watching a movie last night having left my phone on the desk, as normal, and right before bed I realized I had lost 8% over 3 and a half hours.

I thought to myself, "hmmm that is weird. I usually have great battery with Free."

Mind you, I never ever dirty install or restore data. On top of that, I'm still testing the Rom so nothing else had been flashed over it.

So, right before I went to bed I turned my sync off. Why? Idk. But as I woke up I found that my phone was still awake all night due to Android OS. And this is with sync off. ???

Naddict, your cool man. You may not know me personally but I really don't appreciate you jumping too conclusions and insulting me or anyone else's intelligence giving feedback because of battery life. Signal is not the end all be all to all battery life problems. Yes, we all love the Rom and don't want to admit problems. But if there are, we don't need some guy being cute and trying to sweep these issues under the rug.

Clark, any info you need to maybe track this down? Logcat?

Again, I'm on clean install. Second battery cycle. No themes. Same apps as always. And even de-synced, phone still draining like a mug.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Bizdady:
Theme fixed!!

Note to self to double check on clean flash :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Skunk Ape1:
Absolutely. By default titanium backup saves too the internal storage.

Make a backup of what you want. Go to the internal sdcard and find the folder " TitaniumBackup". Copy or move it to external sdcard. Now open titanium backup, tap on menu/preferences/backup folder location. Tap on detect then on whole device. If you moved it, it will find the on location on mnt/extSdCardb/titaniumbackup if you copied it, it will find the folder in both places. Tap on the mnt/extSdCardb/titaniumbackup option. It will now show all of the backups in that folder. Now tap on choose current folder.

If you choose copy you have your backups in 2 locations. I normal move the folder. Or delete all the files inside of the folder on the internal sdcard. I also keep a copy of the titanium backups on my computer.

You are right about that... I am cool...:cool: seriously, my post is a generalization, certainly not specific to you. Clearly you have more experience than others and if you can't solve the problem, know how to get answers. But generally, battery IS tied to poor signal, that is, if there are no other conflicts with apps and other tweaks that "rub against" the rom and it's apps too. So, in that sense you are right. But, again, you are experienced enough to know that.

Now, please, will you get to work on that neon green theme? :D :good:

I have not been able to get any photos to instant upload to Google + since installing this rom. On version .7. I've uninstalled and reinstalled G+ updates and wiped G+ data. Any other ideas???
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Skunk Ape1:
Tomorrow night try this. Turn off data and Wi-Fi. Your sleeping and won't need it. Turning off sync doesn't tell too much. This will tell you how much is lost due to signal. Last night over 7 hours, I lost 3%.

anyway to move the Call/SMS block to the phone menu?

I think the Android System use lots of battery...so I don't know...there could be a problem, but I can feel that the battery run fast due to the Android System...try to check in the battery and see what element used the battery the most...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jordan23945bulls:
Anyone notice that if you flash the get the sprint carrier label on status bar zip the am or pm appears on the clock again? That just happened to me, I flashed the get rid of the am/pm zip and I have freegs3 as my carrier back. It doesn't bother me but just saying.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MontyPyFly:
not yet. I deleted some apps, and today it still seems to be draining faster than before.

Tonight I'll reflas and slowly add things back in. Will take a half day or so per installed app, so it will be a long process.

My concerns are the Android "Tests" (Slate test,Wlan, Factory, NFC ,Bluetooth, LTE testmode, etc) I can't seem to narrow them down.

I'm hoping it's just an app from the store.

The searching for signal usually kills battery VERY fast, and it might be with LG8 I'm getting worse signal strength and therefore much more background searching. So, one more thing I will be checking out.

I'll keep everyone updated if I find anything out. Maybe there will be some correlation between my setup and others with bad battery life.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] platniumrover:
I also did a clean install last night to no avail. The battery life is nothing like .7. Im thinking about going back to .7 and just loading the Nova launcher and calling it a day.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] lnchbx13:
I believe that both of those mods require modding the same. Apk so if you go to the place that has the carrier name string and that mod doesn't also have the ampm hack it replaces the Apk and wipes out the other hack. I may be wrong but that is my guess.

To the guys asking about TiBu, you can create an update.zip from within the menu. You would be able to flash it from TWRP whenever you wiped your device and put it back.

It's not keeping it like you asked, but it gives the ability to put it back without an Internet connection.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] datruth_bates:
It looks like it is running okay from that screenshot. You are at 86% with 2 hours 16 minutes of usage. You have talked on it a little and had the screen on. So you are at a great rate of battery usage.

I don't debate much about the Android Os and Android usage because it's a percentage of total usage of the battery that has been used already. With that being said, interacting with the phone will kick in usage of the system itself(games, surfing, web, Bluetooth, Samsung account sync, and so on).

It's when you start seeing 86% with no usage or sync in less than thirty minutes when you should start stressing a little. .just my opinion..
