Hey guys, couple of questions

I used this root method: http://www.droid-life.com/2012/07/2...ased-for-verizons-galaxy-s3-no-odin-required/

Superuser and CWM recovery are both working. I can reboot into recovery, I successfully made a backup; all of that jazz. To update to 1.2 I go to recovery, data wipe/factory reset, then flash this rom by selecting from SD?

If anyone wants the ICS Domination theme for this ROM...

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cupertinosucks:
wipe cache and dalvik too
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] foocankill:
OK I did a ton of searching before asking this and found nothing. I did a full wipe before 1.2 and I cannot figure out how to get the WiFi transmit power changed. First I tried adb shell commands from my PC. Then I tried WiFi tx power app all to no avail.

From adb shell I was able to see the current transmit power but it would not allow me to change it.

WiFi tx power app just gives me this error and I tried changing it to eth0 and also checking that box.

Thanks.

Is the cell standby bug fixed in this ROM? I patched it myself but after install this rom I noticed really high cell standby use, so I'm not sure if it's actually true or if it's the bug in the software that was causing wrong reading.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] foocankill:
This ROM overwrites that fix. You can safely reapply the fix after each update of this ROM tho.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cupertinosucks:
I too am curious of this as well.

I'm trying to get it to be

WiFi/ GPS/ BT/ Sound/ Rotation/ the rest

I know the systemui is modded so i don't want to put this one on there.

Would someone be able to make an updated zip?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NxtGenCowboy:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] .ili.music.ili.:
Thanks. Rom worked with data wipe then flash, all in recovery. I still have a lot of bloat, though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eschelon:
Already been patched for v1.3 :)

I meant to do it at initial release, but I set it on the backburner since batt life has still been ok with the glitch. Either way it'll be gone with the next build

This is for i9300 international s3 but I verified the XML replaced is exactly the same as i535 (same power drain values etc). Except for the fix.

Read link for what is changed!

If you check your battery usage, Cell Standby will be ridiculously high. It's a glitch on the SGS3 that followed from the International version, but doesn't affect battery life.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sirebral123:
I did the 1.1 to 1.2 without a full wipe and things seem to work fine, is there something that should be broken? Full wipes are kind of a pain if avoidable.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] haza12d:
I'm not sure why, but S-Voice doesn't seem to be working or searching the same as before. For example, I asked "How old is Kobe Bryant?" and before (stock) it would give me the exact answer. Now, it just asks/gives me the option to browse for it on the web. I asked the same question on another GS3 (Completely Stock) and it came up with the answer... I'm not sure if this is ROM related or maybe there's a setting I need to tweak.

have you formatted your extSD card to fat32 yet? or is it still exFAT?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] slvfox:
No problems here but I use TWRP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sdube3:
I formatted it to fat32. I'm going to do a data wipe/cache/dalvik and install r39 and see if that solves my issue. I'll report back

Edit: FYI, the error I am getting is as follows: "No /sdcard/.android_secure found. Skipping backup of applications on external storage." Seems to be an issue related to the new insecure boot image, but I am not certain.

Yea that's what I thought =( thanks for confirming
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Sycobob:
About to flash from 1.7 to r39 and I have a question about the update script. It looks like it checks to see if you're bootloader is unlocked, unlocks it if it isn't, and skips the unlocking if it already is unlocked. Is this right? I want to make sure the script is not unnecessarily flashing the bootloader if it's already unlocked. A bad bootloader flash is a hardbrick iirc and I have no intention of flashing it more than once.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] voodoomanx:
I'm pretty sure the script is a failsafe against flashing if you have not unloacked your boot loader and aborts the flash.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] trafalger888:
E,

I loved the camera mod and don't shoot video at all with my phone is there anyway I can get the mod even if it will not be included for the time being. If its possible?

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Sycobob:
I'm not familiar with the update-script syntax, but assuming it's ifelse(check, true, false); it actually flashes the bootloader if it's not unlocked. Here's the line in the script:

ifelse((run_program("/sbin/busybox","sha1sum","-c","-s","/tmp/aboot.sha1") == "0"), (assert(package_extract_file("boot.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p7")));, ui_print("***Not Unlocked Skipping Flash***"));

But that would mean the print statement is wrong, as it would print when the bootloader is unlocked.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Neverendingxsin:
Extract Samsung camera.apk from the synergy Rom that does have it and push it to system apps and set the permissions then reboot. That should do it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Drakon911:
It's an issue with CWM. I've had it with another phone. I had the directory ".android-secure" but was still getting the error.

The way I got around it was to delete the .android-secure directory. Obviously, before you do that check and be sure there aren't any files in there you want to keep. Maybe move them out and then back in once the directory gets recreated.

Hope this helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jcurley:
Voltage control does stick on boot. However, I did see, when doing a video chat, the temperature went way up and the cpu settings dropped to 900 and would not set above 1100. Then once cooled it went up to 1900.

Not sure if that is a safety thing or kernel thing.

I'm seeing incredible battery life on r39. I have been using the lagfree governor at 1512/384. Granted I only have about 20 minutes screen on time but it's been great so far!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] slvfox:
The way I understand it from E is that the script checks to see if you are unlocked, If not, then it will not install the custom kernel. Search the thread and you can see E's post explaining the purpose. The script DOES NOT unlock the bootloader.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] parcou:
r39 reboot

Coming from 1.3 (super build no issues) and now in r39 with bootloader unlocked all is sweet (no wifi, gps, etc) issues....(Did a full wipe of everything on before installing) I did see a reboot before church and now another 5pm....

Not sure why but I am loading all my items back my guess the cpu is just running high so I installed AnTuTu CPU Master to bring it down to 1512 max....

Does this could like it could be my issue...other than the out of the blue reboot it is solid....

I overclock my server and desktop PC so when I push the clock speed too high I get reboots so I am hoping that is the issue. 1.3 is good but the r39 is really nice...

Thought?

Will rev40 - add in efs backup on flash(needs testing) - mean that you won't lose your IMEI anymore? And if you do you can just flash back to a previous build and it will restore them?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XTRoRDiNAiRE:
How is the latest nightly with the custom kernel running?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Sycobob:
Yea, I noticed it's unpacking to the wrong block to be the bootloader. So I guess boot.img is the kernel and it's still using the ramdisk method.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] x86cpu:
Yes, this does a sha1 of the /dev/block/mmcblk0p5, it compares it to the sha1 inside the aboot.sha1 file. If they match it will then flash the boot image (not boot unlocker), otherwise it prints a message saying it's not unlocked and skipping Flash (kernel/boot image).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jaben2:
I can't find anything that will stick with the kernel. I have tried setcpu, system tuner, and rom toolbox pro. They will set, then a little while later I go back in and it is back to 1900.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RCOVA:
Hey Esch, Is there anyway you can include a mod to change the brightness when you slide the status bar? And also to take a screen shot with volume down and power? I'd be one happy camper if you could include those or make a flashable zip. :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] parcou:
Possible bug on r39...cannot confirm

If I open the calendar and go to settings and change the calendar default reminder to from 15min to something new....

When I click on it for me it just sits there and then the device reboots... But would like to see if this happens to others. If so can I fix without doing a new flash...this was a clean new flash

Update: On further testing this does not reboot just on this function alone but it just happens on different things. Testing a different kernel and so far no reboot but still testing...

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sdube3:
So here's my update: I did a full wipe..formatted system, wiped data, cache, dalvik..and flashed r39. Once r39 was up and running and settled in, I flashed the newest CWM Touch Recovery 6.0.1.2 via EZ Recovery and booted into recovery. I performed a backup to my external sdcard (which is correctly formatted to fat32)..it backed up boot image, recovery image, system, and data...but then I received the following message: "No /sdcard/.android_secure found. Skipping backup of applications on external storage. It then backed up cache and generated the md5 sum.

So it seems like that one message is my only issue. Is this something that is a problem or should I not worry about it? I haven't tried to restore from the backup, and I'm not sure if I will be able to.

Ya I had that exact error went into external deleted android secure and internal and deleted android secure try both Internal and external because when I got that error the backups never restored so when I saw a post awhile ago about deleting the android secure and then did it resolved my issue
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sdube3:
So you're saying I shouldn't be concerned with that? Does it have any negative impacts or will I be able to restore CWM backups without issue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] voodoomanx:
Correct. It says that every time for every flasher. Flash away worry free.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sdube3:
I'm not sure why, but I don't seem to have .android_secure on either my extSD or internal SD card. Am I just an idiot?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SiXandSeven8ths:
Mine doesn't work, for some reason. Been an issue for me for a few builds now. I haven't seen anyone else report a problem. Anyone have an idea?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eschelon:
That's because before we had to add a script to init.d which just edited the db (which is why it would not work until after one reboot and why a few issues still had it persisting). :)

Now that we can flash kernels we've done it in there, which is actually the proper way to do it. You'll need an app to get this functionality back as we kill it on every reboot, including first boot now :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] GREGHARKINS:
My calendar works fine tried it twice
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] silver04v:
Eschelon, can you answer a few questions for me.

First with kernel flashing, how does restoring backups and getting back to stock kernel work? Like I'm on 1.7 now, I want to upgrade to the newest with kernel. If I want to ever go back to 1.7, can I just restore my backup and I'm back? Is then kernels in the nandroid backups? I'm new to kernels and not sure how they work completely. Do I need to find a stock kernel to flash first?

Second is what app do you recommend to control over clock once on the kernel?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Metfanant:
sounds good...i prefer it...but understand why you remove it...

it makes sense now why it wont stick :highfive:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eschelon:
Yea, sorry bud. I try hard to make the ROM work as a "one size fits all" for everybody, but it's impossible (a small search of the thread for mod requests will prove that :p )

Since I can 100% guarantee that you are in the minority on this one you'll either need to find an app that does what you want, or flash the stock kernel every time then mod the .db

Good luck :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hitman3984:
ok. going on the advice from earlier I clearked all data from the phone then flashed my synergy 1.6 recovery.

Booted the phone and smart alert works fin.

Then dirty flashed release 39 right over that and again smart alert doesn't work. Same errors.

no need to apologize to me at all! love the ROM regardless!...its the best ROM ive tried on this phone so far and i plan on sticking with it for the foreseeable future....

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eschelon:
Your recovery can backup and restore kernels. For example, in TWRP there is a box you can check if you want to backup "boot" or not. That's your kernel

As for CPU, I prefer to set CPU speeds myself in ramdisk ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] duarian:
Well....unless I'm mistaken since I have no idea what that is. The majority of us rely on an app haha. Is there a preference or one that does it better than others? I am kind of hesitant to flash the new kernel because being stuck at 1.9 makes the phone run incredibly hot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] voodoomanx:
There are many discussions of this in the thread already. Some people use setcpu. I use system tuner pro. Try them and see which works for you.

---------- Post added at 02:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:25 AM ----------

I was mistaken as to the vibration feature. Mine crashes on the try now feature as well. Sorry, I thought you were talking about the lock screen notifications.

I also noticed the palm to mute/pause motion feature doesn't function nor does the tilt to zoom on this build either. It appears some of the tw Samsung motion features might be broken.

Sorry for giving out misinformation.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] duarian:
I am aware. There are also many mixed results. Some saying it works and sticks, others saying it doesn't work or stick. I was just trying to get an opinion on the most friendly one with the custom kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jaben2:
I was having problems with settings sticking earlier. I finally got setcpu to work. I setup a profile with the settings I wanted, ang clicked on boot setting too. I am sure they all work but that was the easiest for me.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eschelon:
The popup is not the same thing as the ongoing notification that cannot be dismissed.

We killed the ONGOING NOTIFICATION, not the popup :)

We'll get around to killing the popup later, but for now open WiFi setting and uncheck the reminder box and/or just dial #*6335623# and choose 'Disable WifiOffloading' then hit OK
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jcurley:
looks to me, based on that picture, you have a crap load of things running in your status bar. I see weather and all kinds of notifications and the top thing draining is media. Maybe try and turn some of those push updates back. Those things could be killing your battery, especially if you're in a low signal area.

Esch, I see someone released a crt off any chance that will make it in. I would use it, but I don't want it to change anything in the Rom.

And, what about some voodoo sound, maybe color? Really liked that on the Fascinate. Sound set up was excellent to use and color really gave the screen some fine adjustments.

Does anyone know what the IP Call is?
