Pr got a question. My wife's s3 (my old one running this) the GPS keeps floating. I've tried the screw method and everything. Also put the GPS test 3 zip on it. But everytime she switches batteries it takes about 15 minutes to get a lock and it just bounces around.... Didn't know if you might have a solution.

The reason for the battery change is bc the usb port quit working. Don't know how to fix it either. Anyways you can PM me here or hmu on hangouts

Please,cant install Synergy

Hello again, sorry but i got a problem, i try to install Synergy and gives me an error, its says that install was unsuccessfull because i have a non-boooter, i return to stock and do it again and the same, what im doing wrong?

Thanks a lot

Something was not successful during rom install. You will likely have a non-booter if you see this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] maxxxz:
Hey.....wait a minute, i just see this is for Verizon!im not on Verizon,i got an international S3...is that the problem?

Sorry....

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hawke591:
Ok, I'm having an issue when using SynergyROM. I am on the Sprint variant of the S3 and my issue normally doesnt come into play until about a week, maybe two, after installing. I always clean install (wipe dalvick/cache, factory reset) and when installed, everything runs great. Great battery life, great speeds, reliable and fun to use. But after that initial week, the battery will drain at an EXTREMELY alarming rate. My phone will normally get between a day or two (sometimes 3 depending on usage) without having to be charged. I am using the battery extender (bought from sprint) which is why it gets so much life im assuming. Then out of nowhere i will get issues with the phone dropping from a 100% charge to dead within 2 hours with absolutely no use. This has happened with and without the extended battery. Does anyone else have this issue or know what could be causing it? I run the recommended install settings for the rom and the KT747 kernel with the ktoonservative governor at all times.

Note: This issue persists until i go into recovery and perform another clean install of the rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Try just wiping dalvik and cache when you see it. Sounds like the processor is getting locked wide open. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hawke591:
Ive tried that. The phone shows absolutely no wakelock, it still functions properly on all levels. I checked the cpu frequencies and they were normal for my usage(around 768) and looking through battery stats all of the usage ahows that screen on time is less than 25% of the total time on phone battery. I have tried just wiping dalvick and cache amd rebooting the phone after but it doesnt fix until another clean install

Add: I will try to duplicate results and take a screenshot of the stats but it could take a couple of weeks. Long before i get the results this topic would be lost though. Also i cant figure out how to screenshot with synergy so i can post them on here.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Weioo:
Two odd things...first of all this started occuring out of the blue, I hadn't reinstalled anything. My other problem is random reboots. Ill look at my screen and its suddenly reloading the launcher (nova). I mean wtf? I have changed NOTHING on my phone in the last few weeks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Reboots are usually your phone can't handle the kernel undervolt. :cool:

Standard kernel is running under volt? I'm not on ziggy anymore.... too many annoying FCs.

Another question... Is the s3 aging or is it just me? Phone seems like molasses. I'm ALWAYS waiting for the phone to catch up to what I'm typing. This is causing ma's typos and frustration. I'm wondering if I need to do a reinstall/ovehaul of kernel and rom. I can't deal with this crap a whole year before my next upgrade.

Thanks man!

I did that when i first started running it. Like i said, its not the kernel causing it because ive checked the CPU and everything was fine. I just started using BlazerRom and i like it so i think ill stick with this TW rom. I also hate not being able to update PRL and Profile so that awas another reason for me to switch roms. When they update synergy again (if they do) ill be back to see the new features but until then im sticking with blazer.

Check and see how many apps you have running. That might make it sluggish. Also if you have an app with a memory leak that will cause problems to. Is your battery draing fast?

THANK YOU

I know this is not the place to do this but i just want to say thank you to the developers for doing the autobackup feature for the IMEI number and EFS backup.

I dont know what happened to it but some hoe my imei number got wiped and i couldnt make any voice calls. I was beside myself working ot what hte hell went wrong with my phone before i finally looked at the phone status display and i see 00 of imei number. I remember vaugly a while back about the auto back up feature and i looked in my phones directory and there it is... all the backups.

Worked like a charm

Thank you guys you are awesome
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Glad it worked. Should never have to use again. Bet you went to AOSP and old CWM. We never see a lost IMEI anymore. :rolleyes::cool:

I almost always kill apps when I'm not using them. My phone won't last the day with average use. I find myself needing to charge it around 2pm every day, I take it off the charger at 7am...So I'm getting roughly 7 hours, mostly idle usage.

Going to app manager, I really don't have many apps running in the background. By choice: Widget Locker, Nova Launcher (doesn't even show), Tesla Unread for Nova, Driving Mode Widget, A2DP Volume, and A2DP Connect. All other apps are system apps and I figured it was just the super-crap battery life of stock kernel. I can't use Ziggy's anymore...The thing crashed my camera FAR too often and I have a 7 month old so I cant afford to let those awesome moments pass me up due to a crap kernel/camera.

Sorry for the late response. Haven't been frequenting much as the thread is nearly dead. :(

I'm Back

Tried going to other Touchwiz style roms and just don't like them. I left because I wanted 4.2.2 or even 4.3, mainly because my wife ditched her iphone for an S4 :) and she can't have newer software than I.

So I tried a few other roms and even had to reload clockwork for some reason and do an emergency firmware upload through Odin. Not sure what happened there but I was scared for a few moments. This was after one of the AOKP rom installs.

Anyways, a fresh install again and the Foursquare and Youtube apps are working again. Guess i'll stay here until something better comes along or the S5 is released.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BillBauman:
T-Mobile. The ROM is specific to the phone not the carrier.

Anyone give me a hand, My GS3 running rev 484 is unable to set a lock screen background. I can only use the defaults. Any help or tweaks to fix this?

Wish there was a copy of Synergy for my Exynos GS3 too, But I so far like my carbon rom on it :D

EDIT: Another issue, It's probably a bad flash but it randomly reboots every now and then, also when i boot it, the top bar is missing, even after unlock, i have to drag it down a bit then back up to bring the status bar back.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ekklesiaillusion:
It is not a bad flash causing the reboots with the status bar/notification bar missing, mine has been doing it also. I've dirty flashed, fully flashed with every available option to wipe and it still does it randomly

Edit: I just read somewhere that someone else having this problem relayed it to having old firmware which I know I had. I just updated to the latest one but it only rebooted in 1 part of town for some reason so I will see tomorrow
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jlyle:
Guys..... Synergy was the best Rom by far.. But it is older and not really supported anymore.. Most bugs come from mismatch firmware etc.. Why not make the jump and upgrade to a new Rom. There are some good ones out there.. Bones, Beans, Obsessed just to name a few... I think it's time to move on :rolleyes::cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] GeTex:
Well.... I'm not up for reworking everything, but If i'm gonna, How's the Carbon Rom commin along?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jlyle:
I dunno, I haven't personally tried it but has good reviews so... When it doubt make a nand and flash away:cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] GeTex:
May be time to try it out.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
It just a chance you take with AOSP. I prefer that all the options and signal reliability work on my device as designed. Roms should add to the experience and not kill anything you already have working.. I pay $700 per device and want them to work OS doesn't matter to me. It is if the OS works. I can dev and theme the OS options I want from the newer OS. There is a jump from 4.1.2 to 4.2 but nothing noticible that can be seen by owner in jump from 4.2 to 4.3. I just need my phone to work and do everything it supposed to do 24/7. If I just wanted a phone would get a flip feature phone. :laugh::cool:

Still running Synergy, and haven't had too many problems, though it's starting to slow down a bit, and the camera sometimes stutters. Contemplating a new ROM while I wait for an official 4.2/4.3 to drop and Synergy gets updated. As much as I love AOSP I'm not willing to put up with any of the bugs I'm reading about, bluetooth, etc. Synergy is super stable.

So what ROM are you running prdog? You seem to have a good handle on things. Maybe I should just clean flash Synergy and call it good. Any of the newer ROMs out there as stable as Synergy?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Currently on JellyBeans. Also Bonestock is stable. There are several others out there. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] doodlebro:
Liquid smooth is ****ING awesome. Everything just works on it and it's waaay lighter than synergy.

On that note, are the synergy devs still waiting for an official 4.3 build? Just a question! there's more ROMs here than I know what to do with.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jlyle:
I can not speak for Team Synergy but my guess is we will probably not see a 4.3 synergy for the S3..they had other more important things to attend to(not phone related) .. And S5 may be out in February.. That's just my side of things guys

Hi Guys, is your ROM Carrier locked or is it for the GT i9300 international versions? Cause I downloaded the following from the link provided:

Synergy-S3_19Apr13_1622_r484_s.zip (38986 views, 43624 downloads)

For some reason the installations doesn't install correctly and comes up with a log file saying not all Features have been flashed, I saved the log to my sdcard but for some reason its not on there when I browse it on my PC.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
This rom is carrier locked for the US, dual core GSIII ONLY. The first post says it's for Sprint, Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile. Meaning all in one zip for all four carriers. It does not support international GSIII. I sure hope you can still access download mode/recovery because you're in the wrong section.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Aquacile:
Yeah i have CWM and already back up and running on a another ROM, so you guys dont have a ROM for the International GTi9300? if so please provide a link where I can download the international version :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
No, I don't believe they do have a Synergy rom for international devices. I am just a regular user and am not affiliated in any way with Synergy. Happy hunting for something similar in the i9300 threads!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Settings>muti window settings>toggle any option and it will enable float. Only has to be done after initial flash to activate float. :cool:

I love this device and rom but whut these foxes are going on.

AFWall-- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1957231

and actually I just checked that to get a link to share and see there's a new version.. maybe it's fixed :o

But something like afwall or an iptables firewall is essential IMO.

Flashed the rom, tweaked the design, downloaded some apps.

It worked for like a night.. now whenever I try to open up afwall it encounters an error and FCs.

Been using LBE security and that is working fine (although super su had some issues with granting its permission a couple times), but not a long term solution for me.

Also Pdroid, which is supposed to be built in, was also having some FCs and some issues.

Only did a few tweaks on minor programs with it.. and when I install a new program and the status bar pops up saying "Click here to configure pdroid privacy permissions" or what have you, any new program I click that and the phone freezes for maybe 10 seconds, and pdroid never opens.

Also, first time a second ago, was texting and the phone just turned off on me and turned back on out of no where. And it was lagging when I was swyping some texts on the on-board keyboard.

Also the two cameras I have installed don't work, they both FC.

:eek: Actually when I list it out like that it seems quite a bit.

I just simply did a casual root on the phone with the automated program.. was almost too easy but am unlocked, rooted (although supersu can be a pain sometime), TWRP... am I missing something? Anything I can try? Just got the S3 fully updated from the verizon store no more than two weeks ago, so this is new stuff.

Tried another rom before this but the 'torch' app wouldn't work.. that'd FC and didn't like that. Torch worked fine on this rom, just not the camera.

Just want a stable build for this awesome phone! Should I flash something? New Kernel? Re-install the rom? (although I spent a lot of time on design and apps I'd hate to lose it).

Suggestions are much appreciated!

---------- Post added at 11:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:25 PM ----------

Eh.. it's possible I just installed too many launchers trying them all out see which one I liked the best. Probably had 4 or 5 installed going between them all see which one I liked best.

Now, whatever I do, when I try to go back to the main, it tells me to go to system < applications management and restore the defaults.

I do this, but it never stays.

Maybe I just played a little too much with the rom but I love how I have it configured now, despite the issues.

Am thinking about titanium backuping my user and system apps and re-installing the rom.. hope that gets things fresh again with me being able to keep me stuff. Will do a nandroid just in case.

But don't let me fool you, I don't know what I'm doing :P Hope it works, if anyone else can chime in would be great :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Camera FC is need MF1 kernel or downgrade to MB1 firmware. Reboots normally kernel is too undervolted for your device. Can't help on firewall but Pdroid should work. Combining others with Pdroid could be causeing the FC's. Delete Pdroid if using other firewalls. Restoring system app data is almost a guaranteed FC especially on this rom. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] echoedge:
Well I had MF1 and according to my settings I still do.

Reboot makes sense bc of kernel.. only had two choices tho doing the install: stock or ziggy, so I chose ziggy.

Right, I assumed pdroid and afwall might be conflicting, so have been levying between the two see if anything shows any signs of working.

Just made a backup of all my user-data.. honestly I just got this phone the other day, downloaded the apps, got the launcher designed exactly how I want it.. system apps I assume aren't required.

Guess my best shot is to re-install the rom and re-install the user data.. will try in a sec.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Both those kernels are MB1 and not compatible with your firmware. That is wy camera doesn't work and may not have wifi either. Have to use custom MF1 kernel or downgrade firmware to MB1. Synergy is a MB1 rom and the kernel modules don't match your firmware (TZ partition). :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] echoedge:
Yeah.. I was hoping I could get away with ignorance and just get a good solid rom on there -- not very familiar with kernels. I've rooted quite a few devices but never bothered with kernel optimization besides when others included it in their development of course.

So should I wipe system and cache.. or do a superwipe? Latest TWRP here.

Install Synergy again completely fresh (I assume no issues will arrive trying to install the zip, as a kernel has now been included with it)

Then once that's up and running.. clean and fresh install

reboot back into recovery and install this kernel:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2013943 (leankernel lk_s3vzw_tw_jb-v3.2.1.zip)

then restore my titanium backup data?

Is it that easy?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Since phone is that new I wouldn't worry about superwipe. Takes up to like 20 minutes. Just wipe dalvik, cache , data and system. I double or triple wipe. That is debatable and up to you but that is what I do and never have problems. Use stock kernel. Let rom set about 10 minutes so everything boots. That is about how long it takes to boot everything in background. Will see screen turn on and off by itself when boot is complete. Then return to recovery wipe dalvik and cache and and flash MF1 kernel of choice. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] echoedge:
Ok. Well I went back and checked and the original stock s3 I got had the "VRBMF1" kernel on it.

As soon as I unlocked the boot loader and rooted it I made a back-up of it.

So I suppose I could just wipe everything, and revert back to that just rooted state with the VRBMF1 already on it, yes?

And then what, my mistake was to choose to install the ziggy kernel when prompted? If I just would have opted for stock everything would have been good with the camera?

Thanks a huge lot for the quick help btw.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
That would be an option if there is an option in aroma to install no kernel. If only other option is stock kernel it will still change to MB1 and kill cameras. Don't know. Haven't flashed Synergy in like 6 months. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] echoedge:
Oh ok, my bad I read it wrong actually. Thought you said flash back to stock rom and then flash the kernel.. didn't see a place in there for Synergy to come in :P

You're saying do a full wipe,

and then installing Synergy .zip again

booting it up.. give it some time, 10 or so mins, to fully do so

go back into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik cache,

and then just simply install the .zip for the stock kernel

(found here btw http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1788313 -- d2vzw_VRBMF1_firmware.zip)

Then I should be good, eh? :victory:

Sounds easy enough.. assuming no mysterious problems arise.

And this time i'll be sure not to install 20 launchers and 10 different permission management systems at once :P

If that's it, thanks a bunch for your help!

Don't want my phone to be inactive because I am expecting someone so I shall do this tonight and let you know. Thanks again. Easier than I thought it'd be.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
That should be it. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] echoedge:
Oh ok, my original "stock" was MF, so..

Anyways, I flashed back to Synergy, wipe cached and dalvik cache, then went into TWRP and flashed d2vzw_VRBMF1_firmware.zip

Rebooted... and Camera device failed still there :s

What's the trick, anybody? Has to be a way to get it working..
