Is there a way to hide the clock in the status bar but have it show when I pull down on the status bar? The **** randomly disappearing was beginning to irritate me...

If there isn't a way does anyone know which file I'd have to edit to make it show the pull down time all the time?

Thanks

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Speedin07si:
In aroma there is a no clock option , but idk if that gets rid of the status bar clock also or not.

3.0 here with ktoonsez, use roomtoolbox lite to make the settings stick, undervolted and overclocked, getting around 16 hours down to 40% with a few hours of screen time. I'm LOVING this rom

THANK YOU!!

when i open the app updateme and i click on any of the threads (boot animations, kernels, mods, theme's etc) it is just blank there. is there a reason why?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Evo_Shift:
It doesn't work. If you want those mods you are supposed to use the morphology customization
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jordan23945bulls:
Not any made for 3.0 there.

I am not having this issue, it's safe to say you should wipe and reinstall again.

This is a wonderful ROM! I used it on my Sprint S3 and it works wonderfully.

I recently bought a used S3 from Craigslist and "reflashed it" for Virgin Mobile for a friend. Everything (voice/data/sms) works great. Unfortunately, mms doesn't work. I tried to follow several different threads to set the VM apn / mms settings but no luck including using the Apn Backup and Restore app on an xml file saved from another Virgin Mobile phone (Optimus V). I did some more googling and found out that since this is a Sprint ROM and I reflashed the S3 for VM, mms doesn't work due to it having a framework.jar (and mms.apk) that's not compatible with VM.

I tried GO SMS and was able to get it to send MMS successfully; it's able to receive MMS too but the data is all garbled binary and comes from a 999-999-9999 number. I did a google search and found the garbled and 999-999-9999 issue is due to the a phone running on a VM network while using a Sprint ROM, which my VM-flashed S3 is.

Virgin Mobile doesn't have the S3 on it yet but it does have the S2. If I get the stock ROM from the VM S2, can I dissect it and grab the mms.apk and framework to be used on this ROM?

It looks like the following links can be used to get MMS working on a CM10-based ROM:

Just a quick question. I recently flashed this ROM and something happened where I changed the launcher from the original one I chose during the first time install. Which launcher is it that has like 10 different transition effects for the scrolling of the drawer? (Examples: Cross, accordion, etc.) I really liked that launcher but Can't find it lol.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Gio2178:
Should be Nova launcher or Apex launcher. You can DL an app called Home switcher to go from one to the other with out missing a beat.

Do you still have the audio mod included where sound volumes are increased? Thanks man, loving the rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bytes2bits:
I asked a while back if anyone gets data while roaming. Every time my phone drops into roaming I get the annoying message and absolutely no data. Can anyone else confirm or dispute this? On my Evo I would have data while roaming, albeit 1X.

Thanks guys.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] clark44:
Yes it still has the volume MOD :)

Strange. Try updating your PRL. If that doesn't work try updating your profile as well. If it still won't work attempt to change the radio. The ROM in no way tampers with your data.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] labunjef:
I've had the problem since i moved to version 3.0 I usually just do a battery pull but someone on here suggestion to just plug it in and it will turn on without a battery pull.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] geolemon:
I've been through 1.0 and 2.0, before, on this device. This resulting behavior is different, hence- I posted the observation. There's some inherent validity in that.

My cell signal is the same as it's always been. If it's showing weaker, that's not because the towers and Sprint coverage has changed, it's because something in the software changed - hence the post with the screenshot.

I cleared Cache and Dalvik before the upgrade from 2.0 to 3.0. I didn't experience these symptoms following the upgrade from 1.0 to 2.0 (or the initial 1.0 install). Same procedure was followed. If it wasn't, I'd be suspecting the difference in procedure would be the most likely cause.

Not sure about the "dead baby animals" comment, but if it's sarcasm, I think your original reply was full of enough misconcluded assumption that it's simply not funny.

I decided to use the stock kernel, since searching this thread at install time for the other two kernel options caused me to have greater concern about those two. What I am seeking is the most stable experience. I haven't had any unexpected reboots (on any version), just the aforementioned dramatic reduction in battery life going from 2.0 to 3.0.

- I was getting 18-20+ hours of battery live with typical usage. To be reaching 40% in 5 hours is effectively 1/3 the battery life of the previous version, with no significant changes (in fact, used Titanium Backup to restore all apps/settings to the same state).

I'm all for turning a lemon into lemonade - given where I am currently, if applying a different kernel or other component resolves the battery scenario, I'm fine with that. I also believe in posting information into threads like these, so that others can avoid the same issues.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MontyPyFly:
Your post original post mention nothing about how you upgraded, what you tried to fix it, or showed any indication you knew the battery questions had been asked many, many times before. Hence the suggestion to Search.

Your screen shot showed weak signal, so I mentioned weak signal causes massive battery drain. This is a known fact, and not ROM related.

Changing roms has absolutely NO effect on signal strength. You would need to change the modem separately. It is NOT software related.

A CLEAN install is always recommended. Clean install is more than just wiping caches. You also have wipe System and a factory reset and follow that up with resetting permissions. You may have done that, but didn't mention it, and there seems to be a lot of folks unclear of the meaning of Clean Install, so I mention it here again for everyones benefit.

Without you stating any facts or previous history, etc with your issue, how is ANYONE supposed to help without some assumption? The only thing in my post that was assumption was that you did not search/read. I still stand by that statement.

Dead baby animals are never funny, but anyone who has been reading this thread would find the comment funny :)

This ROM has been downloaded over 20,000 times. Even if there are a hundred folks with battery issues, that is such a small percentage it seems illogical to blame it on the rom. I would guess that of those 100 people, at least 75% did not do a clean install, or restored system data from a backup.

If you, or anyone with issues, try the previously mentioned fixes and still have problems, lots of people here are willing to help further.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] NonCorp:
I upgraded to 3.0 and was having constant reboots. I used the Ktoonsez kernel, and was thinking it might be an issue with that. Didnt have time to mess with it so I just did a nandroid.

This was a dirty install, wiping only cache and dalvik, so not sure if it was the kernel or not, but I was getting horrible lag opening apps, switching screens, etc. Leads me to believe it was the kernel. I will flash tonight and flash the newest KT747 and see what's up.

*Edit*

Re-flashed 3.0 with stock kernel (dirty flash from my 2.0 nandroid) then used the newest KT747 and all seems well so far. No lag, no random reboots. And can I just say, yay Morphology?! Loving this ROM btw, been stuck on it for months, good stuff!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Naddict:
Also, try stock kernel too. I would bet most performance problems go away with stock...plus, it's a good baseline to determine "real" issues with your phone vs having to separate out kernel stuff...:)

Check both your mail notification settings and your System Sound settings. Make sure volume is up on notifications (it's different from ringer, system and Media)

Then make sure the sound file you are trying to use actually works :) try another if in doubt.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] coosawatchie:
It just turns off. Black screen. Pressing power or home button won't wake the phone. I'm on stock kernel. It happens very randomly. Not too frequently. When I installed this ROM I used TWRC and this was my first ROM after buying the phone. Did all the cache. Dalvik catch. Factory reset and system wipe before installing. Its not a reboot. Just a shut down.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] apexone4697:
I dont care about the sounds, i dont like sounds for texts and emails, im talking about the mail icon in the taskbar that usually shows when there is an unread email.

Happened to me too. It's not off. It's a black screen. If you go somewhere dark you can tell.(screen is black but with some light). It's a hard wake lock and I couldn't find a fix. All I did was a full wipe and problem gone

You are going to assume what I did or didn't search for, or what I did or didn't post, without bothering to search this thread for any of MY previous posts?

While having a bit "search first" banner in your signature?

lol

And then come back with a whole quoted post not at all contributing to anything but your ego, blaming what I didn't explicitly type out?

Hypocrite.

And so, so sad.

(excluding the part of course where you blamed my phone's hardware or Sprint's network for having changed apparently spontaneously and coincidentally when I applied the update, since the change in signal strength couldn't have been caused by the ROM application - that's just silly)

I've included all the detail that I have.

You might at minimum look at a poster's join date before making ROM 101 comments while simultaneously making accusations of THAT person of not being observant. :good:

Regardless, let's not respond to the thread unless you can contribute to it, mmkay? Otherwise that's called "trolling". How about ending it.

troubleshooting 101 would be full wipe 2x each, stock kernel, stock double home, stock install with apps you want from aroma. nothing restored, only installed. delete the init.d script, rename with .bak the files that have been mentioned. update PRL and Profile. reboot to recovery, wipe caches and reboot. and test that out. you'll have a good nandroid backup of working base to build from.

I can't replicate any issues that have been mentioned in here.

I'd be interested in knowing what they are supposed to be for too. For instance I would sacrifice a little battery if deleting these files leads to lag or stuttering.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ray012874:
First time post. I want to thank Clark for his hard work and service. I literally read each post on this thread 'cause I like to know the beginning and get familiarized with each version of the Rom and their glitches or instabilities. I have to say that this Rom is probably the best Rom from the three Roms I have flashed recently. It is a very stable Rom and is my daily driver. Of course there's room for improvement but overall I'm very satisfied.

With that said, I have one issue...the settings for the weather on the lockscreen keep force closing. Any ideas? I have done a clean install but I've read some others also have this issue.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] lowetax:

That's a kernel issue.. flip to on, and it flips right back? I have experienced that before. Try to reflash the kernel, a kernel, or the ROM.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] geolemon:
Still seeing very poor battery life with minimal phone use, and noting that unlike with 1.0 and 2.0, the majority of battery use is not "screen", but "android system".

Stock kernel.

8 hours battery life even with significant charge time in there (reference images- similar to the one I posted earlier)

Thoughts?

Anyone else with these symptoms?

Additional pics showing earlier and a couple days ago:

Very interested in that "android system" being so high. Being several days removed from install, I'm sure it's not still updating...?

Edit: Also, notice how poor my network signal now appears. That also begun with the update. Is the phone falling to see towers (or similar) due to the update?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bloodhawk:
I am trying to come back to FREEGS3 from AOKP. Before i switched to AOKP i was on V2.0

Now the problem is that if i try and boot after selecting the stock kernel, everything works just fine and i am able to boot into the ROM. But if i select kt747 (ktoonsez's kernel) i am stuck on the Galaxy S3 logo.

Now i tried flashing the kernel separately as well, still the same issue.

This is how i am flashing :

1. Factory reset.

2. Wipe System.

3. Wipe dalvik cache

4. Flash ROM zip.

I tried searching, really couldn't find anyone else with the exact same problem.

The ROM works just fine with the stock kernel.

I double checked if i am downloading the correct kernel (TW) as well, the just isnt booting with any other kernel other than stock.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bso44:
Make sure you downloaded the right kernel. There are 3 different kernels in that thread. One for AOSP, one for TouchWiz-based ROMs and one for 4.2-based ROMs.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bloodhawk:
Yeap, double and triple checked that.

Problem is that the ROM isnt even booting with the KT747 version that is already included.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bso44:
Strange. Maybe try running the kernel cleaner before flashing the kernel? It's in the OP of the kernel thread:

is there any way to get a flashable zip of the stock samsung quick settings ? pretty please :))))
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bloodhawk:
Will going back to stock and rerooting help?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bso44:
Can't think of anything else it could be. Strange issue.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xblackvalorx:
Try a full wipe, flash the rom, then flash the kernel cleaner before booting. Make sure to wipe fully
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bloodhawk:
And should i select KT747 as the kernel in Aroma? Because when i select stock kernel, everything works fine.

UPDATE :

Still didn't work. I dont know what i am doing wrong.

Restored the phone to a stock LJ7. Re rooted, flashed custom recovery. And then flashed FreeSGS3 V3.0. With stock kernel everything works fine.

How long does the phone take to boot after flashing ktoonsez's kernel for the first time?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xblackvalorx:
Wait so it only doesn't work with the kt kernel?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bloodhawk:
Yeap, works fine with stock.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xblackvalorx:
Have you tried the newer kernel, the 1/9 kt747 tw version?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bloodhawk:
yeap, same result.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bso44:
This is baffling. Have you tried any other kernel besides stock or Ktoonsez?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bloodhawk:
Actually nope, KT was the first custom kernel i wanted to try on my GS3.

Tried AGAT, the phone just shuts down after the bootanimation.
