I was having stuttering issues on all of the animations after the 3.17.2013 build was released. I believe that was when the 3.4 Kernel first made its debut. Reverting back to 3.13.2013 seemed to be the only fix. After literally testing every single build post-3.13.2013, each time factory resetting, formatting /system and wiping cache and dalvik (to try and narrow down the possibilities of it being a specific release) I have found the fix!

Through the magic of the search button and Google, I simply disabled the HW Overlays option in the Developers options and voila! No more stuttering animations, just smooth and silky Task650 goodness. Turning Hardware Overlays back on again immediately causes the stuttering in all the animations.

I also did some research on some governor tweaks for the ondemand governor as this can reduce laggy menus as well. You can read about them here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1369817

Hope this helped you.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that I am using the current build, 4.12.2013b and disabling HW Overlays removed the stuttering/laggy menus. I'm also going to be looking into using other governors as well, see if I can squeeze more battery life from my phone.

Lol, I got that already. Search really is my friend :D

Cool link though.

Yep, this is where I found the answer, lol

The majority of my google searches inevitably lead me back here to Xda, there's so much information/answers here it's insane.

I have the latest 4.12 of tasks installed. Having a few issues.

1. Can't receive picture MMS messages. Text fine.

2. Take pic with camera and screen goes black then I can do anything. Have to do a battery pull.

Thanks in advance,

4.12.2031b latest one

Thanks in advance
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zelendel:
Did you do a full wipe before flashing?

Wayne Tech S-III
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
MMS works just fine. Its 99.9% your carriers fault right now. Especially if you have ATT. You will need to wait that out.

Camera also works great. Fully wipe your device and try again.

There isn't ever any reason to pull your battery. Hold volume up and the power button until the device reboots.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] colemac:
I am with Telus. The last tasks 650 build did have these issues...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
I already answered this. Nothing in terms of Mms has changed in more than 15 releases. So that's how I'm almost positive its your carrier. Be patient and wait it out. Either way. This ROM is built for ATT so its hard to say whether or not its youre carrier if youre not on ATT. ;)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Covenn:
Check your APN settings. I'm with rogers and always have to make a change to mine as there is a port setting that's missing from the MMS section.

At this point, it's not your settings. Get BetterBatteryStats and see what drains your battery.

Upgraded from a 4.2 version (i think it was 1.17.2013) to the latest version (4.12.2013b) last night and I am having a couple of issues.

1) I went through the steps at least 5 times (full reset, etc.) and no matter what I did, I couldn't get the newest version of Gapps (3.4.2013) to install. I ended up rolling back my Gapps to the older version (12.19.2012) I still had on my computer. Is there anything wrong with flashing the older version of Gapps? They installed fine.

2) Titanium backup will not let me batch restore a number of apps + data I had installed. Are there compatibility issues between my old 4.2 ROM and the new 4.2.2 ROM that require manual re-install of some of these apps?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BWolf56:
1) Doesn't matter, just update them through the Play Store.

2) You should always re-install your apps through the Play Store and just restore app data of those that are ''needed'' to keep things clean.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] imcol:
Any good ideas on how I can conserve my battery or get better battery life specifically on this Rom? I get crappy battery life on idle time. My battery just plummets as my phone is in my pocket doing nothing!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
Put phone in pocket. Leave phone in pocket.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] imcol:
I just edited my post to incorporate that it does stay in my phone all day and it's on airplane mode as well because I am in school! This is why my battery life boggles me!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
Turn off phone. Set phone down. Leave phone forever. Lol. :D

P.S- You've really given no information that would help us to help you out at all. You should check with better battery stats to see what's going on. ;)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] imcol:
I know, I know I am sorry but this is difficult because there is barely nothing to good off of. In bbs all I get is deleted wake locks and that's because my wifi is switched off most of the time, so that explains that. Otherwise there is nothing and that's what confusing me. Just thought you could give any information.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
I can't give any information without any information given to me. That's like trying to fix a hole in the wall at my house when I'm out of the country on vacation.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] imcol:
Alright well then let's see if the problem is fixed automatically by the next patch!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ericjackson:
Ok, i really hope this hasnt been beaten into the ground already, but i also hope someone else is experiencing it and its not a problem with my phone. ive been seeing these screen glitches since yesterday. i installed the 4.9 build on 4/9 or 4/10. have not installed any new apps.

But here goes, see below in the pictures. it comes and goes, but it doesnt distort the icons and widgets. its not just the background either, its done it in the stock sms app as well. it doesnt happen when i press on areas of the phone, it just comes and goes randomly. obviously it doesnt show up in a screenshot, so i had to take a photo with another phone to catch it. i thought it may have been the background at first was corrupt or something, but since i changed it, ive seen it happen in sms.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
You're on an outdated and unsupported release. You should expect things like this. ;)

Fully wipe your device and flash the latest to see if it fixes your issue.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ericjackson:
thanks i figured this would be a response, i was a little worried going to the latest update, (esp since you had to add a 'b' 'take two' to it. hah. i thought there may have been problems, especially since this release i was on fixed my random reboots.)

i did do a clean install on this one. are you saying it could be the rom or the kernel? or a corrupt installation? i just hate to wipe again unless i know it will fix it. or if i need to call at&t
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
A "b" release means that things are fixed and ready to go.

You hate to fully wipe? So you mean that you hate to have a clean, fully functional system with less issues than if you don't fully wipe? It could be anything. The first step is to always fully wipe to find out. Otherwise the troubleshooting process is pointless. ;)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ericjackson:
i should rephrase that, i love to fully wipe. i HATE to set everything up again. because i typically dont like to use a restore on all system and app data in case there is some corruption there. i have always felt like it could bring back old problems. i usually restore data for things like tasker, nova, facebook, dropbox, etc. but re setup system settings and accounts manually
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
I like your rephrase. :D To save some time you can always restore apps + data with titanium backup. Makes the rest even easier to do and the setup process doesn't take as long. I hate having to set everything up myself. Especially so because I have to do it almost every day considering I flash every day to test these ROMs for you guys. With Nova Launcher Backup, SMS Backup & Restore, and Titanium Backup up it turns what used to be an hour setup into 15-20 minutes tops. ;)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ericjackson:
yeah i can understand that. you really have to test full wipes every time you do anything. that would get old. hah. but at least you've got arguably the best rom on the s3. And that is probably why. I wish you would pickup a nexus 7 and start making roms for it. lol
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
Yeah I do have to every time. That way I can make sure things work properly for those just coming to this ROM and for those that fully wipe when flashing. It does get old. But its a must for me when I release anything.

No nexus 7 for me. I have a nexus 10 already. ;)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Yze:
yessir! I pretty much do this also. makes flashing new updated goodness so much more effecient.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] thoughtMaze:

I had this issue last night... very strange indeed. Normal usage, everything as usual, took phone out after a few hours and had lost 40% with a sharp slope on the battery line when it is usually almost flat. Checked BBS and NOTHING shows for more than a few seconds or a minute here and there. Sleeping time reported close to 90% and I had used it heavily for a while. Obviously something hung and wasn't reported as hanging. I reflashed and all is good again.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] raylzq.cn:

How many others are experiencing a bunch of crashes on the latest build? Like keyboard, messaging, etc, etc. I'm getting all kinds every few seconds. I've redownloaded 2 times, full wipe and flash 3 separate times just to make sure. For now I've just gone back to a backup from the 4.9 build, I still get crashes on this build too but not as many or as frequently

hmmm......
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AacidusX:
Are you restoring apps after flashing? Maybe try without that.

I remember I would get a lot of force closes and tried manually installing apps one by one. I chose big apps first like SetCPU, Light Manager, etc. After finding the culprit I restored everything else.

I'm all good now.

You did mention messaging and keyboard, are you using stock?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] n023b:
I was on the toilet this morning look at babes on instagram and within 10 mins my battery went from 100 to 89%... 2 hours later with no use its at 49% (wifi,sync on, lte off). I'm downloading BBS now really dont wanna have to go back to stock :(
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] liltitiz:
Why would you need to go back to stock? Just find where the drain is coming from and fix it...

Edit: also, you being on the toilet is not the kind of information we need to help you ;)

Extended Weekend going on today I see.......lol
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] thatsupnow:
yea its the stock keyboard and ****. I did restore from tibu but never any data from the restore. I don't know I'll just hang tuff I guess I can't be the only person out the having problems like this. Oh and I checked out the last_kmsg in root explorer and the file was blank even tho it said it was a 98 byte file

hmmm......
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drock212:
Full wipe, flash, install apps via market instead of TiBu. That would be the sure way of making sure it's not a restored app causing the issue.

Missing GPS Navigation app.

I've had use this rom before. I just come back from ParonoidDroid. I know a lot of people experiencing GPS issues but my problem is I don't have the app. I've been searching to see all day, re-flash, went back to stock and started fresh. Still no navigation app. Maybe it doesn't come with this update? Could someone please point me to the right direction. Thank you.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
Huh? You need to get whatever apps you want from the play store.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Jubei527:
Thank you, Task! That was very simple maybe I was thinking too much. Lol...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] qbnb:
I've tried searching but perhaps I haven't found the right terms:

I was wondering why the SMS notification disappears after I open the Messaging app (but not each individual message) and if there was any way to disable that action so that the notification remains until I've read/responded to every message? Admittedly I'm coming from Gingerbread on the S2, so maybe that functionality was removed since then? Jelly Bean has taken some getting used to. It's just a pain in the arse when I want to defer responding to a message but I forget because there's no notification reminder.

I was also wondering if anyone had a newer/older version of the stock email APK included in the Gapps bundle in the OP, one that has a fit-to-page option or allows me to zoom out (to fit the email to the page), like the latest Gmail app does? It makes viewing large and/or picture intensive emails more difficult as I've got to scroll all over the damned place.

Lastly, for the record, I too occasionally experience some phantom scrolling, or whatever the kids are calling it these days. It's no big deal though and I hardly notice it, it's just curious that only a handful of us are experiencing this issue.

Otherwise, easily the best rom I've used. Stable, fast, great battery life (so far), and plenty of customizability (new word). Thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rbedell:
Sometimes it's good to flash on the toilet because almost every update I sh*t my pants. :thumbup: :rolleyes:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drock212:
Email apk newer or older you'll have to tear out of the gapps package that you can find in the OP of Task's thread.

"phantom scrolling" which is more like the phone showing an image of what was on the screen a second or so back is fixed by disabling He overlay in developer options.

And as far as the texting thing. Don't open the SMS app, if you reply through the quick response feature the notification stays there.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] uzii305:
Task, or anybody who may know, I need the script to launch the camera app. I need it so that I may launch the camera app from LMT launcherml.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] qbnb:
Thanks for the response!

I was wondering if you or anybody else knew if a previous version of Task's GApps package had an email APK with zoom (all the way) out or fit-to-page functionality? If so and if I were able to find such an APK, would I simply install it like any other?

Yup, that's the "phantom scrolling" issue I was referring to. I had seen mention of the hardware overlay fix and I'll definitely try that if it becomes bothersome, I was just more curious as to why it might happen; gotta learn somehow!

Finally, in regards to the text notification issue: for long, multi-line text messages, simply not opening the message isn't sufficient as I can't read the whole thing. So if I only had time or want to respond to one (big one), I'd like to be able to open the messaging app without losing the other notification(s). If it's impossible or simply a feature that was removed in JB then it's all good, just figured I would ask?

Thanks again for the response and to Task for making such a kickd1ck rom!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
Then why wouldn't you start a thread in the Q & A or General section considering it's not related to this ROM in any way? Or it might be a better idea to post this in the LMT thread.

I'm on the latest update, and I'm still having a problem with my music playback having pops between songs when I'm listening through headphones. I'm using high-sensitivity IEMs, so I know it's more prevalent, but even at a very low volume it's really loud. It happens whenever I start a song, go back and forth, or it goes to the next one.

Thoughts?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] alacrify:
You don't mention doing a full wipe per the OP for the ROM, which is the first step. If you full wipe, load just the ROM and Gapps, and don't restore anything (install the music app straight from the play store) and you still have the issue, I believe the solution is revert to a pre-3.4 ROM/kernel and wait for improvements.

Just saw the dev thread. Wow I cannot believe ppl still do that. I didn't see anything in the change log about your AOKP turning the S3 into a super phone lol. Today I dropped my phone from 15 feet into a oil wellhead pit. It hit concrete and oil, screen down. My co worker grabbed it with his oily rubber glove and tossed it out of the hole. I cleaned it up and everything works, no cracks, no scratches. S3 is oil field tested and AOKP Approved. :p

Hi everyone, I've been noticing something weird on the newest build (yes clean wipe, etc) where when someone calls (maybe one in five calls?) I get a quick double ring, screen goes off and my led light turns on and stays on until I reboot or make another call. The other part is that the call that comes in doesn't register in my call log. I just dalvik and cache wiped but doubt that will fix it. Any ideas for all the devs out there?

Thanks!

Battery and HW overlay!

Hi, I had a couple of questions:

1. My battery life on this rom is horrible. My battery drains 5% every hour on Idle. On top of that when I am actually doing simple tasks such as opening my phone for 1 minute, checking the email and such, my battery just goes off at it. In BBS I noticed that even though my screen time is about 15 mins, the time the phone was in working CPU states is around 30 minutes. Anyone know why that is? Furthermore, I checked the wakelocks and they are all normal. Nothing is eating the battery wakelock wise. I just feel like something is always running and keeping my phone's core running. I know that it isnt much to go off of, but does anyone else experience this? Any thoughts?

2. I too have the "phantom scrolling" issue. The fix I came across was to disable the HW overlays. But when you disable the HW, arent you forcing the gpu to do all the basic screen tasks? If so, doesnt this increase battery usage? As it is my battery is sucking, and I wouldnt want anything draining the battery further.

Thanks

One weird thing I found is that my phone never stays at 100% even if its fully charged. It immediately drops down to 99%. A;so the more it overcharges (like in minutes) the more crappy my battery life is.
