A little Info....

On a side note everyone: Last night I decided to reformat everything on my phone, not that I was having any major problems or anything, in fact everything was working really well. But I backed everything up and I do mean everything to my computer and formatted everything, including system,data,sd card,ext sd card, the works. Before i formatted the system I put the ROM file, kernel file, and gapps back on my ext sd, started from scratch and reflashed it all. Now some of the minor issues i hear a lot of you complaining about are gone. The ROM seems perfect and I cant seem to find anything wrong or not working. My gps locks immediately, my screen flicker is completely gone, and everything just seems a bit smoother but I could be fooling myself. It might not be worth it to some but if you have some little issues maybe it will help. Atleast I know a lot of the clutter i had built up is gone and I have nothing on my phone except what I want.

Took me about an hour to do it all and get everyhing restored...well worth it in my opinion:cool:

Nova launcher would only "theme" the launcher - check Google Play or the Themes and Apps forum for CM10 themes to get the OS themed as opposed to the launcher (system menus, notification bar, system apps). As far as overlapping the clock, I'm not sure what you would expect it to do if you have that many icons - that's why by system default it's on the right. If you load enough notification stuff like battery and weather and llama etc. on the left and toggle enough options on the right plus using every other space taker you can find, you can probably get it either full, overlapped, or really unhappy. I'd find a better balance of icons, move the clock back to the right, or accept that there's only so much space...

Screen flicker issue

I recently switched to this rom from CM10. I'm on 10/16 and did a full wipe install but I see screen flickers whenever I use volume rockers and the volume dialog appears on screen. I tried latest Ktoonsez rom too but nothing changed. I read in OP that in latest version flickers are 100% gone, but they are still there. Any suggestions?

I dont get screen flicker in normal operation..except in the xda app..i guess its more app specific..
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] u921333:
Not every persons phone is created same that's why some phones over clock better. A blanket statement that its completely fix doesn't work dealing with this stuff its very device specific.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bg4710:
True...

I couldn't agree more, although my phone does not show the flicker issues anymore and it did on the 10/13 update but I know several people on clean installs of 10/16 that still are, but between all the different kernels and kernel settings its hard to say its ROM specific and personally I don't believe it is but there are too many variables, I don't see how task does it, I would go crazy trying to keep up support on here! Plus as you stated many phones are not made equal! My friends phone won't handle my ktweaker settings particularly the undervolting...

I do the exact same and do every month or two depending on how much flashing I do always have with all my toys . And never had any major issues with any device . I always take the liberty to search for issues to watch/look for and prepare myself and cover all angles before anything .. like imei for example ! Backed it up just In case before I even attempted anything after rooting. Have stock rooted and unrooted backups saved just incase ... you get the picture :D common sense I guess but ? As mentioned maybe not needed but its what I do to insure my device runs as intended on these "personal" shared custom roms !

Great work guys :highfive:

Guys i still can't get any sound from my rear speaker during calls. I re downloaded everything and fully wiped everything and still no fix. Also i was late to work today because i set an alarm and it did trigger but it didn't play any sound.

Is there any fix for this? I really wanna stick with this rom but those are deal breakers for me
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] alacrify:
I would Odin (or nandroid, if you kept one) back to stock and see if it works then. If it does, your phone may just not like the ROM - it's weird, but it happens. If it doesn't work on stock, then your phone is busted and you should replace it. If it works on stock, then you might try copying anything you care about up to a computer, then wipe both internal and external cards and installing this straight from an empty system.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] The Archangel:
Seriously?

Btw, personally I don't find that thread useful. Might as well add turning on your phone drains your battery, leaving your phone off the charger drains battery, using your phone drains battery. Come on... I can go on an on with this.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bg4710:
yo

The alarm sound thing is very common with this ROM but its not broken or anything, try this, go into your alarms like your gonna set one and click on some different tones and while you select another tone hit the volume rockers up and down, you should get sound after that and it should work from there on until you flash an update and then you will have to do it again or at least I have to each time with it and the media volume, I hope this helps bcuz if task sees this post he's gonna tell you to search and read the o.p bcuz this has been covered a bunch if this don't work then you really do have some sort of problem

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] flammingcamel:
Well that would be my solution to but how many people actually read the OP before they flash this amazing ROM. So I simply created a thread to filter out the battery pics and talk from this thread. Obviously everything I posted is pretty much common sense to some but most need guidance. Therefore they have some literature to show the common things that kill battery life and a place to post screenshots of battery life. Its not like I was trying to give headline news on battery problems.

I haven't had any reboots in a while. None with the 10/16 release. Its most likely the kernel. I'm using the kernel the ROM comes packaged with its the most stable. Not even a hiccup. The battery life is just as good as any other kernel and its very stable.

Again, everybody - you NEVER have to remove the battery. Hold the power button down - hold it down some more - keep holding it down (I've had to go over 30 seconds) and it WILL reboot eventually.

Love this ROM, just two problems so far.

1.) My music on my sd card is not being read by the music app??

2.) My Pictures are not coming up in the gallery?

I'm thinking theres an issue reading my sd card, does anyone know how to fix it? It's only happened since I downloaded this ROM.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] geoldr:
Internal or External SD card? Also, for a music player I use poweramp. Prefer it a lot more than google play music.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] alacrify:
If you just switched to AOSP (i.e. this) you'll have to copy everything off and reformat the card to the type it reads - search around, there are links to software to do it and instructions.

Ive rebooted and took the Sd card out and put it back in and nothing.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] geoldr:
Use an app like ES File Explorer and try to see if you still have data on it. Or like the posted before said, you might have to plug it in to your computer to reformat it.

Oh Yeah

Figured it out. Yay me.... I have no idea why but when I popped out the sd card when the phone was on then put it back in ( Which I did numerous times with it off, :rolleyes:) PowerAmp started to read it. The gallery app did not, so I downloaded Quickpic and it automatically found all my pictures. So its just the stock apps that are the problem and not my external sd. Thanks for the replys.

Create a wifi connection strictly between the 2 devices, like as far as I understand, it should. Much like a Bluetooth connection.

My issue with wifi direct is that I can connect to another sgs3, but no apps show wifi direct as a share option, like they did on stock. Not sure if its rom related or not.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] amf66:
Why not, instead of having a snarky response, think about what WiFi direct actually is? It works just like bluetooth. No central connection is needed. That's the whole point. Otherwise it would be nothing more than glorified SMB.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] alacrify:
That wasn't snarky - you started your post by stating that it didn't work if he wasn't connected to wifi. If wifi has nothing to do with it, then that mention would lead me (as it did) down the wrong path. No one I knew had a GS3 until looong after I'd gone from Touchwiz to Task.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] amf66:
No, what I am trying to say is that WiFi direct as a thing is supposed to work without a connection. It's device to device. And yet, on this ROM, and possibly all of AOKP it does not function when not connected to a WiFi network. That's not how WiFi direct works. I wasn't able to find any information on this, so I decided to ask if it's just me.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] alacrify:
I understand now, and I'll post this one more time: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1889145 - if you want to continue the discussion, PM me or search on your own - anything Touchwiz does not work on this ROM, and you might be happier with a TW ROM if you need this.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Holmes108:
Don`t even know about the feature being discussed, and still with the attitude... classic.

It was a reasonable question, as was mine. WIFI direct in itself isn`t a samsung or touchwiz invention. Perhaps the way it was implemented in the stock rom was. My point, for example, was that 3rd party apps, like ES File explorer allowed you to share via wifi direct, and the option was missing in this rom using the same 3rd party app.

It may very well still have to do with touchwiz framework, but there was no reason for me to assume such a thing with a third party app, and the link you supplied doesn`t make that clear to me either. If that`s the case, then so be it, but it was a perfectly reasonable inquiry in this thread.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Jonnyredcorn:
I didn't think Wi-Fi Direct was a TouchWiz feature, it is found on most newer Android devices. Maybe the ability to share .apk's via Wi-Fi direct might be a TouchWiz feature but I've never tried so I don't know.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] amf66:
Exactly. WiFi direct is like Bluetooth. It's a standard, not a proprietary Touchwiz feature like S beam or S voice.

Straight from the Android development pages: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/connectivity/wifip2p.html
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] alacrify:
But no one has offered anything more than I tried to on the subject. Since this is a development thread for this ROM, I'm going to stop responding and I suggest that unless someone (clearly, I don't know the feature and you all do) has something to offer one way or the other, you all do too :)
