How does the "Enable Persistence" feature work.

What data is meant to persist across installs? How does this work?

I've searched and can't find a real definition. I'm not sure how is supposed to persist if we are supposed to wipe clean every flash for best results. Thank you for time.

My LED wasn't working on the 6/3 version, updated to the latest and it still doesn't work. I'm using the AOKP - LED menu. It was working initially but then it just stopped, for whatever reason. It doesn't work even if I test it too.

I don't have any apps that could be interfering with it, I think.

when I use my data plan and i listen to radio on my phone, when phone goes to sleep the data connection drops,

is there way to have data even if the phone is sleeping?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sspikey:
I feel like a moron for asking but I am on build 5.17.2013

If I update to latest (8.7.2013) including new gapps

Do I need to full wipe?

Thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] EK2:
its preferred to fully wipe before flashing a ROM even if updating,

I always fully wipe just in case.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] F1reEng1neRed:
As it states in the OP of the dev thread, if you are already on 4.2.2, you should only need to wipe cache and dalvik. If you run into any issues, do a full wipe.

I continue with the issue, that the calendar events are not display in the lockscreen. I already check the clock settings / calendar events. But still no calendar in the lock screen.

The lockscreen setings in ROM manager are only show battery % and volume music control on, the other are off.

What more do I need to check.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] arfarf2:
You have to add the cLock lock screen widget. And turn on what you want in cLock options.

ok so the app is this https://play.google.com/store/apps/...developer#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEwMiwiY29tLnJtZiJd

i dont think it has anything to do with it, because I used this app before with previous ROM releases and it worked fine.

Im at home now and its works good on WiFi but i just tried on 4G and it dropped connection after about 5 minutes the screen went to sleep

same thing i noticed when I use my data plan and when i take phone out of my pocket there is no internet connection after 1 or 2 seconds connection is back.

it looks like 4G goes off when i put away my phone

Thanks for the reply, but LED still doesn't work as Pulse is checked. Testing LED doesn't work. Not sure what I can do... maybe it's an issue with the kernel.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
LEDs work fine. Not a kernel issue. It's an issue with you and/or your device.

To those who are wondering, 6/7 fixes the bluetooth handshaking issue. My car once again automatically connects to the phone. Not sure what actually fixed it as the changelog doesn't specifically indicate a fix for this issue, but it is indeed fixed. I was in and out of the car 4 times today and in each case the phone linked up fine.

My thanks to Task for this!

I am having trouble When Im playing any games for a while the screen turns off and I am not able to turn it on until i take the battery out of the phone and put it back on. Is anyone having that issue? sometimes it happens randomly when im not playing any games. I tried reflashing the rom and it still happens. Thanks in advance.

Task by any chance when you unlock your phone do you get a flash from the camera after you unlock the device? I did a FULL wipe twice and I get the same problem :confused:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mikecantreed:
I do. Its an option called glow pad torch. Turn it off in ROM control if you don't want it to do that.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rbedell:
If you swipe your finger to the unlock option fast enough, learn your lock screen shortcuts, it doesn't but if you have any hesitation it will.

Hey Task, can you think of any common problems one might be having to impact screen-on battery life?

Have let 6.3 settle for ~7 days now, full system/cache(s)/data and SD card wipe (was coming from TW), stock kernel settings, no updating widgets, no Facebook... And yesterday after taking off charger I was down to 50% after 44min of screen time.

Just making sure there's nothing I'm missing here, can't figure this out for the life of me...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] paluinfusion:
Thx for the double replies. I tried/followed the same steps. Still it doesnt work.

I downloaded android file transfer and installed on mac

2. using the original s3 usb cable

still. it just charges. and on mac it shows, no device connected.

From the link, it says, Android/mac have issues, in that case, how was it working with no issues with my Samsung Infuse till i had last week?

What's difference between these 2 phones. I was running latest 4.2.2 on Infuse as well. but CM based.

Again, thx for ur time/responses.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] :
I have had trouble with my Google contacts syncing since switching to the newest bootloaders. I completely wiped my phone and started over and it is still doing it. Whenever I add a contact (on my phone or pc), the google contact sync freezes or gets stuck in sync loop. This causes all text messages to just display the number and I can't access individual people in the phone book.

Edit: -facebook sync is off

-the only way to temporarily fix this is to reboot phone

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PatcheZ:
I may have had a similar problem on v.0603 and 0607

All my LED notifications were all blue, even though i had previously set them to different colours per app.

Even in ROM control>LED control> when the colour flashing on the screen was something other than blue, when I used 'Test LED', the LED would only flash blue.

How I was able to 'fix' it was to turn on 'Flash LED while screen is on' and 'Test LED'. This resulted in the correct LED colour configured to flash.

I later toggled off 'Flash LED while screen is on'.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Nic2112:
Good day,

This ROM is the first one I flashed after doing the ODIN root. Everything worked well, CWM installed with no problem, I wiped everything I could, installed this ROM and everything seemed to work. I then wanted to try Vanilla RootKit because I was curious about the pie menu but it turns out I much prefer this ROM so I wiped everything again and flashed everything new (ROM first, then gapps, then kernel).

What I'm noticing now is that my ROM files which were on the root of my SDCard are now in sdcard/0/0/roms. I tried getting rid of that but it comes right back.

I don't think the problem is specific to this ROM but I'm not quite sure so I figured it's probably best to ask.

I tried to search for /0, "/0" but I didn't find anything relevant.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dcipher:
Sorry if this has been asked before (I searched but didn't find anything): I changed my phone's screen settings to 240 dpi, and love it - except for the stock dialer app - the search bar under the call log and contacts gets moved to the top of the screen and covers part of the list(s) (instead of being at the bottom of the screen). Has anyone else noticed this? Any workaround?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
Blame Google. They implement this file structure when jellybean was released.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Nic2112:
I guess that's incentive to flash a ROM and stick with it.

You were right by the way, Installing your ROM answered my question ... somewhat. I'm still not quite sure what is different, but I can see that this Rom is much faster/smoother.

I seem to have a bit more network connectivity issues now that I rooted. I've read about the 4G turning into 3G and H+ because AOSP reports the true network, not the embellished one, but I never had "no network" errors at home or at the office. I doubt that this is Rom/Kernel related though, I might have to try a different modem considering I'm still on the stock one.

The biggest differences are stability, awesomeness, smoother, faster, battery life and off course Task! Still the Boss of AOKP roms and look how many pages he went through just on this thread. 4G will not just turn in to 3G. If you have LTE in your area, you will get 4G icon.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Nic2112:
I have LTE in my area (Ottawa) and I only see either the 3G icon or H+, never 4G.

I am reading the FAQ regarding Canadian LTE and I think I understand now, H+ is the fastest speed I've always been getting, but it was shown as 4G by the stock images probably to make things look better.

Another Edit : I read the FAQ and found the guide regarding H+, went through the things to check and by default it's the 3G access point that is selected. I switched to the right now and a couple minutes later I have 4G!

Thanks.

He's just commenting on the fact that the /0 folder issue has been discussed ad nauseum. You should do some more research. Make sure your recovery is up to date.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Nic2112:
I figured, he needed to inflate his ego by pointing out he knows something I didn't. I used to be like that on the Rezound forums, even had my own ROM theme and instead of helping out, I'd tell people to search.

I followed the guide that was given to me (which has been deleted in the last 2-3 days), installed the recovery from the guide and as you say, it turns out it might have been outdated a bit. I installed the latest Team Win recovery (2.5.0.0 I think) but I haven't flashed yet, I'm really liking this ROM.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
Please stay on topic. This has nothing to do with this ROM. If you feel the need to post these types of things send him a pm and share the colorful words there. Please don;t derail this thread. Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Nic2112:
Okay, so back to my question. Is it a recovery problem that was fixed in later versions or is it as you said a problem we all have to live with?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
Recoveries have nothing to do with this ROM. You will need to go to whatever recoveries thread you are using for support on that one. I do not have and "0" directories. There are tons of posts and a few threads about this around here somewhere. Just do a search.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Nic2112:
Removed...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
Yes I know what I posted. And I decided to fill you in on that info. Not realizing that you would continue on about it for page after page.

Alright man. It seems as though you have not researched anything prior to flashing this ROM or any rom to your device for that matter. If you had done so, you would know about the "0" directories that were introduced with the release of Jellybean and how to avoid the "0" directory.

From here on out please stay on topic. This is not a "Basics of Android" thread nor is it this threads job to accommodate anything other than specific questions about this ROM. This is a support thread specifically for this ROM. Not recoveries, not the directory layout that Google decided to use, ect... Just this ROM. You haven't asked anything specific to this ROM. Please go and search around and find one of the many threads that talk about this topic and they will fill you in on what you are asking. Thanks.

P.S- I'm not trying to be mean or rude or anything. But it just seems as though you've skipped doing a little research and have ended up in one of my threads. I'm trying to keep this thread on track and keep the cluttering down so that I don't have to sift through a ton of bs in order to get to real issues with the ROM. ;)

I've been using Task650's AOKP on my AT&T S3 since I came across it in March and haven't looked for anything else since.

I was on the 5.27.2013 release when i ran into some problems with my 64gb SanDisk Ultra external sd card (purchased from NewEgg). I had the phone in my back pocket while driving.

When i pulled my phone out of my pocket I saw the notification that i need to unmount the card before removing it.

I shut the phone down, pulled the card out, reseated it, turned the phone back on and - no card detected.

I did that a couple times then gave up, pulled the card, put the phone back together and didn't get a chance to get back to it.

I updated to the 6.3.2013 and then 6.7.2013 releases. Yesterday, i was having problems with sending MMS (just sitting there sending..., no internet connection when off wifi, and signal bars were white instead of blue).

I reflashed my modem, no joy. I re-downloaded the 6.7.2013 rom and gapps, factory wiped phone, cache, and dalvik - reinstalled, let google (via mobile data, not wifi) restore my phone - and succcess!

After it restored, i shut the phone down and put the card back in. Still nothing.

I got busy doing other things and forgot about it. Last night I plugged the phone in at about 10pm, at 11% battery.

This morning at 6.30, I wake up (battery charged at 100%) and see a notification that the card is empty and needs to be formatted.

I tapped the notification and it asked me to format the card, I tapped yes.

the phone rebooted as soon as I tapped 'yes' and when it came back, the battery was at 0%

I pulled the card and rebooted twice, but the battery was still at 0%, and going on three hours later charging via wall charger it's only at 57% charge (no usage other than whatever the phone is doing)

I've been using that sd card since I got it in Nov/Dec - and if I remember right I formatted it FAT32 as per the guides and it's been working ever since - through the stock ROM, CM10, CM10.1, CM10.1 nightlies, and since March Task650's ROMS.

I use Next Launcher and had only the Next Weather widget and Next Calendar widget running on the home screen, along with the Next Weather widget on the lock screen.

any suggestions on what to do next?

I haven't put my hands on the USB adapter for the SD card to test it out on the PC yet and reformat it FAT32 again, but I'll try today.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] adamantan77:
As for the network, I'd make sure you're using the pta access point for your mobile network, I always have to change this after flashing, but works like a charm.

Does your phone behave "normal" without the card? How did your computer react to the card? Sounds like something is wonky with it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] gixxer_j:
i've never had to change anything with the network before. it's been a one time thing (knock on wood....)

As far as the phone - it behaves normally without the card. Although this morning it's taken a ridiculously long time to charge again.

After the "instant discharge" (going from 100% to 0% in a few seconds) of the battery (it didn't get hot or anything), I started wall charging it at 8am this morning at 0%, at 1pm it was at 80% charge.

I'm charging it via my computer now and it's at 97% (now 3pm).

Other than that issue, the phone seems fine - calls, texts, mms, mobile data all working ok.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] FIESTY2:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] feistygoat10:
You have to change the permissions to match the other files in the ringtone folder and reboot.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] datoneazn:
I have no idea where the other ringtones are located, also by changing permission, you mean the "Read-only/etc." permissions?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
They're located in system/media/audio/notification or ringtones depending on what you are looking for. And yes. You need to set the permissions to rw-r-r and then reboot.

Just search this thread. This has been covered and answered multiple times here.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Dave the Knave:
Just so you know, it is a known issue with SanDisk micro SD cards that there was a manufacturing defect that would cause the cards to fail at random times after being in an Android phone. The S3 was specifically mentioned. You should remove the card ASAP from your phone and backup everything on it, and do an RMA with SanDisk. They are very pleasant to deal with, and I had to go through the process myself with my 32gb card.

Good luck!

fortunately there was nothing super important on the card, mainly music that is duplicated on my computer.

I was able to dig up the card reader and can't access the card at all in Win 7. I had a 2gb card from my Nokia N80 that still works so the card reader works.

I'm going to try the card on my linux box and see if i get any different results.
