Perhaps i may not be understanding the offline cpu subject of Ziggys kernal. After a lot of experimenting with the stock (Ziggy stock) included in r66, the latest Ziggy that someone posted a link to, the Ziggy link in the OP to the stand alone, and even IMO beta 6, I still get an offline cpu reading in System Tuner. (Not always, to answer the maybe your phone is broken response) Can someone explain what where supposed to be expecting as far as cpu activity and if a cpu is ever even supposed to be offline or not.

Going to give lean kernal a go, see if maybe thats the issue, since 66 had a change to it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] x86cpu:
Mine seems to do that when I have it plugged in, but there's no option in the developer setting to disable that, so it sometimes stays on all night while charging. Odd. It still charges all the way, just gets a little hot.

I am running r66 with imo's .6 kernel (with 1.6mhz cpu max since that is still stock voltage) and everything is running beautifully. I can't get over how smooth and fluid the phone is. Many thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Mystikalrush:
So no a single reboot for you yet? If so then its has to be ziggys kernal causing these reboots, i just switched to .6 now but only played 15mins with it, but havn't had a reboot yet.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] aburgthing:
Just a word for anyone new who may be wondering if they should flash this ROM and what they will be getting. I am by no means a "crack flasher" like many in here. I just don't have the time because of work commitments. The extent of my flashing of this ROM has been 1.3 to 1.7 and now r64. Let me just say this ROM has been magnificent; it runs smooth, battery life is astounding and the Synergy team especially Eschelon has been one of the best I've ever seen. He has offered update zips for many mods to appease and cater to individual tastes. For that I'd like to say thank you! Despite some having problems here and there, by and large I believe the greater majority of which I'm a part are running error free, smooth and though it doesn't matter I had my first over 5000 Quadrant score and was at the top of the heap (doing happy dance).

I just wanted to interject this opinion here because so many new people pop in at the end of threads to see how things are going and if this is a ROM for them. I say don't hesitate and you won't be disappointed. As of this date, all I can say is great ROM, great community and excellent support. Don't forget to hit that donate button too because this developer deserves it for real for all the time and effort he has put into this.

Thanks team Synergy!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] d1ez3:
When you guys say you have reboots, do you mean full reboots or 'hot' reboots, where it basically freezes the screen and reloads OS again. I get the hot reboots but not full ones.

Yeah me too. I press the lock button and it doesn't turn on right away. So I press it again. But it turns on right as I press it so then it locks it. So then I'm just unlocking and locking my phone for a few seconds like a dumbass. Lol

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Nnyan:
I have had issues with both but overall fewer with Synergy (although Beans 10 is damn good). Typically ROMS that update daily can be more risky (if you flash often) then those that do not. Make sure to nandroid at every stable rev.

I've been running with the lagfree governor controlled by ROM Toolbox Pro.

Right now I'm using just 2 profiles.

1) Screen On - Lagfree / 1.5 GHz Max / 384 MHz Min

2) Screen Off - Powersave /384 Max / 384 Min

I'm by no means a pro by controlling the governors but r66 has been extremely solid for me. I wonder if the reboots were for those people that are using the Smartass v2 governor. Just a thought. No reboots for me yet. :)

Hi, couple of questions and issues...

1. When I flash Synergy, does it flash a kernel with it as well? If so, have the CPU settings been changed from stock?

2. When I use my WiFi connection at home intensively, it disconnects 10 seconds into the transfer. So far, it's happened when downloading tracks in Rhapsody, transferring files from my PC to the phone via the FTP Server app on the phone and when trying to play movies on my Samsung TV using AllShare/AllPlay. I've tried several different kernels (IMO .5 and .6 as well as the kernel that comes with Synergy) with the same results. I have WiFi powersave mode disabled (via the *#0011# menu) but it happens regardless of that setting. I've cleared cache and dalvik. I did a clean install of r60 and dirty flashed r64 over it. Anyone know what I can do to fix this?

3. On Synergy starting with r55, when I try to use Odin to flash a new kernel, it is unable to connect to the device. It sees it and when I disconnect the phone it indicates "device removed" and when I connect it Odin indicates "device added" but when I start the flash process, it can't find the phone and hangs at that step. What can I do to resolve this?

--another issue--

4. When I try to copy, rename or move a file into system\media\ringtones, it tells me it failed in ES File Explorer. In past revisions of Synergy, I was able to use an app called Mount /System (rw/ro) from the Market to mount in r/w and then ES could do it's thing. However, since r55, I have to use that app to mount r/o then back to r/w three or four times before ES can do the operation.

Thanks in advance.

Running latest build and Ziggys kernel. In system tuner, should CPU1 go offline with No demand?? When the phone settles, both cores are at 384. With a different kernel, second core goes offline when settled. Thanks in advance. Great work team Synergy!!

EDIT: Read Eschelon's post below mine
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eschelon:
He said there might be a prize for the first person who noticed that little Dr Who easter egg ;) Tardis is the name of a buildbox (where the kernels are also built) and Zig's avatar may or may not also be reference: http://xdaforums.com/member.php?u=358759

Also, to those who have asked, yes one of the cpu cores should shut off when idle since it would waste power if they both stayed on 24/7. It's only when it doesn't come back on under load that you have a problem. I'm also interested to know which governor people are using when they see random reboots. Let me know so that we can get it all properly fixed for y'all :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] samscinate:
With the above said.... running the latest from Ziggy, the second core does not go offline. Ondemand and deadline. Using IMO latest, it does the same thing. Phone completely settled and both cores read 384. Flash back to previous versions from either dev and second core goes offline. Hmm. Thanks for the help!!

Volume hack is coming out tonight and there will likely be a new kernel for you guys to test out. Not sure yet if it will be better or the same as last night's as there really hasn't been much time to heavily test on multiple devices.

That being said, if you have issues with the kernel that comes out tonight then you are still free to flash the Ziggy kernel in the OP (which is the stable pre-smartassv2 build)

I was just about to ask if anything was going to happen tonight. Either way ill be downloading first thing tomorrow morning before work, and then ill test it while i'm "working" ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eschelon:
Smartassv2 still acting a bit wonky where one core goes offline, but if you toggle to another governor then back to smartass again both cores go back online and begin scaling properly. Possibly something with mpdecision, but who knows.

Either way, new kernel for you guys to play with. 24 hour turnarounds are fun :)

If you want it gone forever, call Verizon and give them your number and they can disable it on your account. It's takes about 2 minutes if the tech knows what they are doing or you can do it in the store.

Then the Backup Assistant Plus will stop bugging you. Even if you disable, it's pushed from Verizon.

At least that's what I have read on the site.

Every since I had it removed from my account, it's never popped up again.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] anthony92170:
question why is there going to be a volume hack? is there a problem with volume? I only ask because I just got this phone yesterday came from galaxy nexus.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Brian Gove:
Yeah, I kinda don't like that when I'm using my phone... Just FYI it reads "Sent from a strange blue box hurtling through time and space."

It was an attempt to make the volume louder than it is but it borked a few apps that are commonly used.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Old MuckenMire:
Yeah I've never had an issue with volume in any form with this device so not sure why some folks wanted the hack. I saw some complaints about stock ringtone volume but I've never experienced it or any other volume issues with the GS3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] anthony92170:
ty for quick reply I honestly think volume is good on here and I am deaf in left ear and wear a hearing aid on my right now the nexus was bad, so bad Samsung upgraded me to the s3. I also have volume+ which works great if anyone wants its not from market. yes it does work. YouTube is better. I am not rooted as of yet I will root when jelly bean roms come out more. If you guys want volume+ let me know.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eschelon:
We did a hack 4 days ago to boost volume since the phone can handle higher values. It worked for some people while others had issues so I'm reversing the hack and setting everything back to stock.

If anyone sees volume issues after tonight's build then it definitely isn't the ROM since it's all back to stock again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eschelon:
In case you guys missed TrevE's post in the IMEI thread: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=31018027&postcount=82

Run from a computer:

adb shell reboot nvbackup

Then if you ever lose IMEI you can just run:

adb shell reboot nvrestore

You can still use our original method to restore IMEI (it appears two different people have legitimately lost IMEI and got it back just fine with our method), but this is still a good idea.

What we think is happening with IMEI loss is the phone hits a bad reboot code for whatever reason and Samsung automatically triggers a restore function in the phone that restores the modemst1 and modemst2 stuff - only problem is it's restoring a bad backup or one that was never made in the first place, which blows away IMEI. This method will ensure that you have a healthy, proper, working nvbackup which (if our theory is correct) will prevent you from ever seeing IMEI loss in the first place (since even if the phone hits that bad reboot code it will restore your proper nvbackup rather than the blank/bad ones that are causing IMEI loss in others' phones).

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MrBrady:
Do we have to be on Ziggys kernel for these commands to work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bgolden84:
You can do this from Any rom or kernal.

You can also use terminal

Open terminal. Type su hit enter. Grant permissions then type reboot nvbackup

it will reboot and back up then boot into the os.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eschelon:
No, Ziggy just grep'd the original Samsung kernel to find the reboot code that we were looking for. You can do this from any Touchwiz ROM. Not sure about AOSP ROMs as they are running custom kernels that may or may not have nuked the necessary Samsung reboot code.

This adb backup method is a pretty significant find. Assuming you currently have a healthy IMEI and our reasoning is correct, you run that command once from your phone and you'll never have to worry about random, unintentional IMEI loss. Ever.

http://www.ziggy471.com/downloads/z471-I535-ICS-090112-2227.zip

I left the older one in the OP as that is currently the latest "stable" build. The rest since then are experimental builds.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eschelon:
Your phone is comprised of about 2 dozen different partitions, of which the ROM is only 3 or so. The rest are all related to aboot, the bootloader, the recovery partition, and a bunch of radio stuff, among other things.

The phone is supposed to backup your modemst1 and modemst2 (mmcblk0p12 and mmcblk0p13) partitions to the fsg and backup partitions (mmcblk0p20 and mmcblk0p21) by itself. This is not something you see in root explorer and is very low level in scaryville.

All that script does is force the phone to backup modemst1 and 2 to their respective backup locations to ensure that you don't have missing/corrupt backups in the fsg and backup partitions.

TL;DNR version: Run the script once for your phone while you have a healthy IMEI and forget about it. Once it's backed up it's not something you mess with.

Have one issue with Navigation that has existed several nightlies. Everywhere I navigate the text to speech says "in a half mile.." and never actually gives a direction. When will this be fixed? How will this be fixed?

I appreciated to the latest version of Google Maps and play store. The issue still persists.

When I am 0.5 miles away from any turn in Navigation, text to speech engine repeats "In a half mile, in a half mile" like that. Changing the text to speech engine in settings will only change for other applications. Navigation continues to use the same voice after app restart.

Anyone else notice this? Trying to narrow it down to this ROM or anything really.. since I've upgraded the app without luck.
