Had to install 3 times

Rough start; had to install 3 times to get to where I am now. Ziggy kernel chosen all times

1st install chose to clean internal SD (non EXT4): ****EFS backup Failed****

kept bootlooping into recovery (4 times)

Pulled battery; powered on and it froze on the Samsung screen for 10 min

Pulled battery, bootlooped into recovery. Installed ROM again

2nd install chose not clean internal SD (see above) No optimization; booted into ROM fine and went through set up

No Gapps or TiBu rebooted and still not Gapps or Tibu

Acore crashing

3rd install – (mainly to get Gapps back)

Gapps back 

Acore crashed once (although after couple of reboots haven’t seen it since)

Minor issues: a

Ink effect is weird: sometimes distorted and other times whole screen goes blue.

Haven’t read about this one: Apps are distributed unevenly in app drawer, Some pages have full amount of apps and other pages have a top row only.

In About Phone; Network is unknown

Running pretty smooth now and no battery heating…great Job Synergy Team!

I'll keep in touch to report any other issues.

Love this rom and the devs and the community in this thread. Viva La Synergy!!!!

Apps is due to the way you have them displayed. Hit settings and choose alphabetically... should fix that

Ink effect is a known issue.

Also make sure if you do a super wipe to have Rom on extsd. :thumbup::D.

Going to have to give this a shot soon.

Ha ha build prop ^^^ have to fix that later also

Everything is fine and dandy on my end. Great job on an awesome rom!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eschelon:
Good question. Yes, if you flash Ziggy kernel then you delete mpdecision et. al., so if you ever want to get back to the stock kernel then you need to dirty flash the ROM and select the stock kernel to get everything back - don't just flash a small flashable zip of the stock kernel that's floating around somewhere

As for the rest of you, glad it's working well for most. We've seen the few bug reports you guys posted this morning and we're already looking into them. Any of you who get stuck on flash or at splash screen for more than several minutes, go ahead and pull the battery and start over. It won't hurt anything

Esch,

Just wanted to let you know that whatever you did with this last build I now have two bars at my house instead of zero constantly! I live in a fringe area and am not sure how this is possible, but is awesome nonetheless.

Also, this may have already been addressed my apologies if so, but my last number of IMEI has fallen off. I think this is a framework thing and not an actual IMEI issue.

Thanks again

Reboots seems to stick on the Galaxy S3 screen for a lot longer than previous builds. One thing I've noticed is that my status bar is blank after a reboot until I swipe down in it, then everything shows up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eschelon:
Yup, go ahead and try again and let me know how it goes

Correct, settings is only asking for 14 numbers to display instead of 15 like it should, which is a framework issue. Your entire IMEI is there (you can flash an older build and see that it's fine). We didn't have a chance to fix that yet but we'll get on it :)

Location Services

So just flashed to r257 from r125. Everything seems to be running fine but I am still having issues where the VZW and Google location services will not work unless I have either wifi turned on (even though it is not connected to a wifi network) or GPS enabled.

Yes I have turned on the extra allow google apps access to location.

I don't use GPS very often nor do I use wifi (i have unlimited data so no big deal) so I prefer to leave these options off and just let the cell service determine my location.

any help would be appreciated.

I smell a troll

The difference is Synergy has way more mods and a lot more hacks under the hood that aren't found anywhere else, which is what I think eschelon was suggesting. Not that he was the first to do multicarrier, but the first to do multicarrier with so many options and hacks.

Either way, puremotive was very upfront about the fact that he used all of eschelon's stuff in his build anyway

That's why you should install or move 257 to your ExtSDcard.

Enter into Recovery:

Hold Power, volume up and menu buttons at the save time.

Flash your Nandroid

Move to ExtSDcard

Try again ;)

Edit:

Just saw you had your Nandroid on your ExtSDcard ;)

Half of these mods aren't even on galaxy mod and half of his aren't even in these, don't exaggerate saying he uses all of his stuff in his build. Esch got MultiWindow working, he already had it implemented with it broken he used Esch to get it working now. Ink effect pure had already. And about the multi carrier, pure already had and yes including his aroma mods and all I don't get why you say Esch is the first to include it with so many hacks and mods? If it's in the aroma installer I'm pretty sure pure didn't make it multi carrier to just leave it stock he included his mods as well. But both respect to Esch and pure they have done a great job these are the my two best roms.

Those of you not seeing your internal storage wiped after a superwipe, you're flashing the ROM from the internal storage, right? Flash the ROM from an external SD card instead.

Very much so. That is something that should have been discussed in a PM, giving for ech and team synergy a chance to figure out the facts and then make their own statement about it, which I'm sure they would.

---------- Post added at 03:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:12 PM ----------

Ech got any idea about the extremely long normal boot time? I got around it but fast booting when I make adjustments to the csc files (inverting email for example)

Also, I still find it really strange that ever since 165, I can't group message more than 10 people at one time. Used to be able to text message 13 in my business group with no problem. Any idears?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Metfanant:
wait...what files are we deleting if we run Ziggy's kernel?...

seems to be running GREAT on my end...few naggy bugs..

1. The ink effect still makes the entire screen flash the color of the ink you have chosen...although on this build it looks more uniform than on r169 and almost looks intentional so i can deal with it

2. saw this mentioned earlier...AOSP messaging: when group messaging responses from an iPhone 4 will not come through...i receive the MMS but its just a blank message...iPhone 5 functions properly...wondering if its MMS messages in general from iPhone 4's...waiting for a response from my friend to test this...

Edit: its NOT MMS messages in general, just group texts...

3. in the AOSP messaging app...the contact picture for my side of the conversation does not show up. I remember in the past that it would show up as me (admittedly on other devices)...and if i click the blank picture it crashes contacts...dont know if this is something that can be fixed or something i have to do on my end

4. Boot times are EXCEPTIONALLY long...easily 2-3 or more times longer than r169
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eschelon:
We'll look into it

Ok, good feedback. Were your apps still there too, or did the ROM wipe them but not internal?

Just kernel related items like mpdecision which aren't used in custom kernels. Dirty flash the ROM to get back to stock.

And we'll look into the messaging

r186-257 Lots of commits summarized as follows: SynergyROM is now multicarrier. Added smart AROMA installer (with Virus' special touches) which detects your S3 carrier (you don’t do anything, we do it for you behind the scenes) and flashes the appropriate files. Some testing still needed for a few carriers. Added mods and options to AROMA.

Trying to keep up on this thread. I flashed 257 md5 matched cleaned all ext4 after I manually wiped (factory reset, wipe all cache, and deleted system) installed Ziggy kernel. Also dalvik optimised. Everything appeared to install great. Aosp MMS working great. Couldn't install any apps from play store stuck on downloading. No go with titanium backup also. Rebooted to recovery cleared cache and dalvik rebooted stuck on optimizing apps.

Battery pull to recovery reflashed everything the same but this time I restored data from nandroid. This time everything worked perfectly except SMS wouldn't even open. Also 3rd party SMS no go.

Decided to full wipe again. Same issue as first install. Rebooted to recovery flashed stock kernel this time now all working perfect. Any idea on how I can install with Ziggy kernel stock is just so meh
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eschelon:
And I hope I don't embarrass PureMotive above by saying this, but you guys should know that I did PM PureMotive and to let him know I was unaware he had already done multicarrier stuff. It was an honest mistake (yes, I make them too :p ) and I apologized if I had offended him in any way. He was very mature about it and said he had no hard feelings. We're straight.

In fact it's too bad we hadn't seen he had, otherwise we could have gotten the ROM out sooner since we were trying to do it all from scratch and it took us more time.

But we have already made some progress for you GSM guys this morning. Hang tight!
