This is a awesome catch thank you very much. This may be a stupid question but can you provide a zip to fix this or do we need to do it through file explorer and if so can you give us a tutorial on how.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freeza:
Sure I can provide a zip, give me a bit.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Naddict:
Does this do anything to the cpusleeper app (eugene)? Not the script, but the actual app for those who have it installed? Will the zip you provide defeat the need for the app? Thanks for any additional info!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freeza:
Nah, the zip will only be adding those files back to /system//bin/ if they were removed, like in order to get support for custom boot animations.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] solehjeff:
Is it "samsungpowersoundplay" ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] RPerry435:
Nice.. waiting for the zip. Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] smccall:
Your the **** freeza I'm so happy to see you in the gs3 threads. You did awesome work on the Evo 3d
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shades333:
Any zip yet?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] smccall:
Hope your not asking for an Eta if you read the five post he said give him some time he is doing this for free. This is the number one rule on xda when you see the zip in the op then you know its done. Not trying to be mean but you will get flamed for asking a question like that just trying to help you out ;)

Does anyone know if their is any negative effect on blazer 1.6 ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tarheelsmj12001:
Havent had any issues so far. Good to go imo.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] smccall:
Just flashed it rom definitively seems alot more responsive I was seeing the lag and just had some plain weird stuff going on glad we have a dev lime you to find stuff like this and squash it. Do we need to flash this after we flash a rom obviously your rom will have the fix so I'm not worried about it but for others who arent using your rom.

Edit: is there any way I can test to insure both cores are doing what they are supposed to be doing like an app per say
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freeza:
Well, it really only will matter if your current ROM includes a different boot animation and/or removes those files. In any other case, it will do nothing.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] smccall:
OK thanks again love the rom I know you get asked this a lot but if you ever need a tester let me know I use to test for mijuah but my son stole my s2 so I'm bored now lol.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gyrra:
Zip applied, and I had to duplicate the process to confirm what I thought I saw:

Been running blazer 1.6 for a few days now and I honestly don't know what (if any) boot animations are built into that rom, but in the spirit of testing (and flash addiction) I used this zip.

This is what I noticed (and duplicated to confirm)--

Chainfire's live dmesg/logcat (I used paid versions) were replaced by this zip file.

When I "reinstalled" the first attempt found no boot animation files. I attempted install again and this time it did indeed "repair" the logcat/dmesg boot screen.

This is my first dual core so I have no experience in these apps working or not on such phones.

If this is wide spread then perhaps chainfire might want to look into an update to his code, if this is specific to the sgs3 then maybe we have deeper issues to delve into.

Sprint...LF9...Blazer1.6...no other customizations
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Jimieo:
freeza, I have to say you are one of my favorite people on here. I get excited when I see your posts. There is always something good inside. Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freeza:
Thanks guys. I will try not to disappoint :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Bizdady:
Sweet no idea cm10 was messing with my cores! Lol

Anyways flashed just in case, will see if anything is different tomorrow.

Thanks!

Edit: well ran now for about ten plus minutes and did notice my phone didn't get as hot as normally it does with cm10.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freeza:
Weird! I would assume being AOSP that this wouldn't apply. I'm guessing somewhere either in the kernel source or the framework that those files are depended on for something.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Bizdady:
Placebo? Lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GatoL0c0:
So if these files exist in the system/bin currently, I don't need to apply the fix?

From My Galaxy SIII - Blaze ROM
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shiftr182:
I currently have the two mentioned files in /system/bin, but I noticed the actual .ogg files in the download. Are the .ogg files necassary, or just the /bin files?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] solehjeff:
Yes all the zip does is add those 2 files.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GatoL0c0:
Nice to keep that in mind. I downloaded the zip in case I ever need it.

From My Galaxy SIII - Blaze ROM
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] solehjeff:
Do you have "poweron.ogg" and "poweroff.ogg" in /system/media/audio/ui/ if so you should be good.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shiftr182:
No, but from the looks of the OP below, I dont need those files, I just need the /bin files.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] solehjeff:
Correct
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freeza:
The PowerOn and PowerOff are silent files, because let's face it, the sprint power on sound sucks lol. It's the exact same one from the EVO 4G. Sounds terrible :P
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] RPerry435:
I cannot believe the ENORMOUS difference this mod changed on my battery life. I've got phantom 1.5 and in one single day battery life doubled. Hope others are experiencing the same.. I even used maps nav for about 30min with screen on. Normally this time of night I'm down less than 15%. Currently 54%. A million thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shinesthru:
Any foreseeable benefit or adverse affects adding those files to /system/bin in AOSP/CM10? From what I understand to be the purpose for removing them and the effect of removing them, it seems doubtful I would see any difference. freeza? What do you think?

Screen Off Issues

I flashed this early today and noticed that my screen doesn't turn off automatically anymore. I checked the settings and have the timeout to turn off after 1 min of inactivity. Just curious if anyone else is having/had the same issue....

EDIT -

Fixed the issue by rebooting the phone - the battery life is amazing....Thanks a million Freeza :victory:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] RPerry435:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] steezc:
if you go through the process like you would flash a rom it should say that it completed your install from the zip file that feeza created in recovery of course:)

hahah! :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] guruhiten:
Hey man, let me know if you do, I'm curious too - I'm thinking of seeing how much I can actually squeeze out of this thing - planning on watching movies non stop till the battery dies, I'm hoping to get at least 6 hours screen time on
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] steezc:
I'll let it run down today and do a fresh start w/ power saver mode on tomorrow morning to see how long i can stretch it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] guruhiten:
Cool, thanks man!!! :good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] eldobeldo:
Can we flash the dual core fix on phantoms rom as well? Freeze you're a genius! :beer:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] XBOHDPuKC:
Not sure if this will do anything on blazer 1.6 since these two files are already there.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Scotlac:
It certainly seems to. People that have already flashed it are reporting remarkable improvements to battery life. :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] eldobeldo:
That was my understanding as well. Going to flash and see. Thanks.

I am on blazer 1.6 and im using system tuner. I have no cpu sleeper installed. Im jealous of other people lasting a whole day lol. I can barely get an hour of screen on time. S97ramscript file is all i have in the init.d folder
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freeza:
If your second core comes on occasionally, then it is working.

You can check this various ways:

adb shell

cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online

OR

root explorer or some cpu controller app.. It should come on when needed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] RPerry435:
I'm on phantom 1.5 as I've said. Instantly saw an improvement yesterday I went 1day and 10hours before I put it on the charger last night. Took it off at 7am it's now 3:40pm and I have 79% left

So I'm back to report and I've run the battery down to 5% and im at 13h 54m with 1h 41m of voice call and 2h 24m screen on time with the powersave mode on. I have gmail auto syncing and my brightness is set to 0 (I know that seems crazy but for some reason that seems bright enough for me). Overall I'm happy with the time but feel like I should be able to squeeze more out of it compared to what I'm seeing from some others who seem to have heavier usage than me. I installed system tuner to see if there are any rogue apps that are eating up my battery somewhere. I'm not sure if the phone needs time to settle in with the powersave mode on or not. I may try to change the cpu governor and cpu scaling tomorrow via system tuner and see how that works out.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] monstaX:
Ok guys im pretty sure it worked. I just got 3 hrs and 40 minutes screen on time! Thanks freeza!! Trying to hit 4 hours. Too hard lol. About an hour of emulator gaming 20 minutes of music. Moderate texting. Chrome all day. I finally got rid of the facebook app and im sure that made a difference. It would eat my battery up. I just use chrome now. Greatly appreciated.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Krazy_Calvin:
I think getting rid of the facebook app is something I need to do too. That thing is always high on the list of battery usage.

I saw a pretty good increase. Just use facebook through the browser. Its much more efficient. And nowbi just installed cpu sleeper. I want to see how much better i can do. Will post back.

Lastnight i charged till green light. Powered off. Charged till green light. Booted it up and unplugged. It was 3 am. I woke up this morning at 9 am and i only lost 1% of battery. Glory. Lol. That is with this fix, power save mode, no facebook, fresh reboot, data off,and cpu sleeper. If my phone keeps doing this. I will jizz.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] guruhiten:
Nope, I just had my regular settings, the results maybe slightly skewed as I was at home connected to WIFI - I would expect 20% - 30% less battery life if I wasn't on my home WIFI and the phone was constantly searching for data signals.

---------- Post added at 03:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:53 PM ----------

So is that a typical day's worth of use? Or did you try to maximize your use for the experiment? I wonder how much you could have squeezed without powersave mode, those results are still pretty good though, at least you know you're phones going to be working when you need it the most :good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thearch1tect:
Yeah the WiFi makes sense. The amount of time on calls was higher than normal. Probably an hour more than usual at least so probably could have gotten a few more hours out of it. I ended up getting a little over 15 hours by the time it shutdown. So all in all great. The power save mode didn't result in any lag so I think I'll stick to it. I noticed you're in the Dallas area like myself what radio are you using or which did you find best for you?

But I recommend you try it, it'll make a huge difference to your battery life.

Freeza.......I had to restore a NAND backup and wasn't sure if I had this dual-core mod flashed or not so I reflashed it. Don't think this would be an issue but ok to flash twice? If not how would I know on a NAND restored ROM that I have this mod installed or not?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] monstaX:
I'm not freeza but to check go into /system/media/audio/ui/ and check if the files PowerOn.ogg and PowerOff.ogg are there. Play them with any player by selecting them and check if they are silent
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freeza:
It's fine to flash twice. :)

If your ROM already appears to have these files, this 'mod' still may make a difference for you. /system/bin/bootanimation may have just been renamed to samsungani, which is just as bad as not having it at all. :) So give it a flash and see what happens.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thomasmatt25:
I can verify that after I flashed this fix two things:

1. My battery life has tremendously improved. My best so far was 29 hours with 20% left. WiFi was on the whole time and mobile data was turned off with moderate usage.

2. My phone does not get hot at all. Before the fix the heat would come at random times. During games, browsing Facebook, or during a phone call while connected to Bluetooth. I can honestly say that I have not had abysmal heat issues since I flashed this fix.

Hope this helps. Keep in mind, I flashed this fix twice. I wiped cache and dalvik then flashed. Repeated it again. Then fixed permissions and rebooted system. Hope this works for you!
