before which reboot? and how does power save on/off affect the stability of the kernel/ROM? If i need to change the setting at any point in those steps let me know.

by the way, i restore the device ID through TIBU as i always have with every clean install just FYI.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NeWCuLTKiNG:
Go to system/bin rename qosmgr and gsiff_daemon with a .bak reboot should help

My first initial install of 169 had the governor stuck but playing with usb debugging and changing governors fixer it. I restored a backup of a different ROM and then decided to flash 169 again. I did another full wipe and toggling usb debugging /changing governors did not help, I tried wiping cache /dalvik again...clean install again, dirty flash, fix permissions... you name... the only thing that fixed it was to flash another kernel, it would stick but I could fix it. Early I tried dirty flashing 169 again to try the included kernel and edged up in the same situation. I monitor the CPU with System Tuner Pro.

Nandroid Issue

This is a bit off topic but i'm in the process of trying to go from r77 to a fresh install of r169 and have run into a strange issue. A few weeks back I attempted to install r125 and after flashing via recovery I ended up with the phone booting to the samsung logo and then getting stuck at that point. Fortunately I was able to load my nandroid of r77 via CWM v6.0.1.0 and am back to where I started. Today I thought wtf I might as well give it another shot. First problem is now i'm unable to make a backup with CWM Recover v6.0.1.0. It starts the process of backing up to external card and then hangs on "Freeing space.." This one is new for me as i've never in the half dozen android phones i've owned had any issue making a backup in recovery. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I want to make the move to r169 badly. I do have a working phone so it could be worse.

Cheers!

Power saver enabled might not have enough juice for reboot. I have never used the power saver. I just set device to the side and let cool off before or after the toggle.

I toggle right away now after setting governor to ondemand now that I know it works.

I restore TIBU ID also but only restore apps with no data.

I have never ever used fix permissions in all the years I have been doing this. If have to use, that means you are flashing things with non compatible UIDs and trying to match them up.

:cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NightRogue:
Restoring all aps without data would mean what exactly? I will try one more time. Was wondering if restoring ALL apps + data would cause an issue. If it's possible culprit I will definitely try something different

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
I have had problems with it on these types of builds depending on the apps and how deep they are into framework. If same rom it is no problem. This ain't no ordinary rom. LOL

Few problems

Battery monitor never resets so I have killed and charged the battery twice but it still says I have been on batter for 2 days straight but it show it dying and then full charged.

Random reboots

Battery life is still draining fairly quickly

how can you add new items to the multi window taskbar, which are not in the listing
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DieselNY:
Little off topic but would it be beneficial to go back to factory and lock bootloader and unroot. Download the OTA (jellybean has been release for this phone I assume?) Then unlock bootloader and root phone. Or is there no point in doing this ?

Downloaded the rom, Everything was ok so far but then the GPS didn't work, even with the two known fixes for it, and now im getting FCs for the incoming phone calls, never had any of these issues with Clean rom or Lean Mean JBM v5, gonna have to switch until I get a fix
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
After adding to drawer wipe dalvic and cache and reboot and they should show up. Reboot alone may work but haven't played with multi. Concentrating on getting people up on this rom. It works as advertised although there are some bugs.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ascssmith:
thanks for the quick reply the RoM is working pretty damn good I think , I've used quite a few... what I need to do is to add items from the total applications to the window drawer the slider, Items that I downloaded some the play store

I flashed Synergy.r169 earlier today, and all was great. Loved it. Played around with the multi-window feature, mostly, and just had fun getting to know my new rom. Fastforward 2 hours. I am on the road, driving to my evening plans, when I go to look at my phone to read the next part of the directions that came to me in a text. I see that my phone is in landscape view, but not properly - it was all distorted. None of the hard or soft buttons would work. So, while driving, I pull the battery. Plug the battery back in, and my phone starts up, but goes immediately into a distorted landscape view, and freezes (all I can see is a distorted wallpaper and lockscreen clock). It does not fully load. The soft buttons and hard buttons will not work. So, while driving, mind you, I pull the battery again. I put it back in, and try to hold down the volume keys and the power button to boot into recovery. No such luck. So, now, I have driven back home, and searching for a way to fix my phone. Yes, I have searched, but could not figure out what exactly to do at this point (perhaps that's because I'm completely raging and freaking out). :eek: :crying: So I ask you - would any of you be willing to help me? Please? So we don't clog this thread, I'd be more than happy to give you my gchat info. As I posted on Twitter, I need a knight in shining armor!

Here is the scoop on Adding apps to sidebar....If you Dirty flash then on boot all your APPS will be in sidebar...If you add an app afterwards then you need to wipe Dalvic only ... BUT this will add it to the "holding area" just push edit and drag APP into the sidebar ..

Don't know if you did clean flash or not but this happened to me after I tried a dirty flash, tried it a few more times same result. Did full wipe/clean flash and fixed that issue. Don't know if u have cwm recovery but the 3 button can be tricky if ur new to the device kind of a timing thing
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
My apprentice Jyle got half a brain. :rolleyes::cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NightRogue:
well, it is a giant pain in the ass, but it looks like that might have done the trick! Have to put all of the info back into every app, but the processor is unstuck, and while i did have one reboot, i was fooling around with some TIBU stuff.

Out of curiosity, what are your TIBU backup settings? what do you schedule to keep all of your backups up to date. I don't think I have mine correct.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Glad you getting closer. I'm at Tibu default. Runs backup at 2am. Will still show anything you have deleted before incase you want it back. Also only restore missing apps so you do not overwrite anything new in rom. Market will update anything needing an update. Once you sign back in they should be safe for data restore on next update. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NightRogue:
no i mean what are the actual processes you run? I don't think the ones I am running keep everything up to date, including deleted aps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
I don't set anything except keep 10 backups. And I save to Dropbox just in case. It will not update for you. Once you restore market will see and update. Each update it will add your deleted apps with a line through them to end of list just like when you disable in ICS/JB it moves apps to bottom of list to re-enable. I run PRO. There are just a few apps you need pro on. That is one. My Backup pro is a secondary if like easy restore of call logs, sms, mms, playlist and home screen. Root Explorer cause no matter what explorer out there it is easy and always works. System tuner cause it does what takes multiple apps to do to control cpu and system. Everything else are pretty much add ons to these. These 4 apps will do anything you see as far as making it run and always work. Anything else get the free addition or the XDA free edition of paid made available to us Members if think you need it. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ryezen:
So far the only problem I've noticed on latest release is my Bluetooth Music occasionally skips. Didn't ever get that on the last release, but then Bluetooth for Phone Calls was borked on that one.

Thanks for a great DD.

Which theme. :confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Kreeker:
Was the notification bar color changed from dark black to a lighter shade of black? Or am I just crazy?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Probably used to mods cause stock is grayish black instead of black. Doesn't clash so much with the beautiful Samsung blue/green. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] natemiller82:
Esch,

Just my opinion, but if that multi window tab was partially transparent, it would be a lot more aesthetically pleasing as well as less intrusive.

My two cents, I don't know if anyone else feels the same way.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Use Kinda crap and for some reason ends up transparent. Not totally. Still gray but transparent. I just need it turned black. :laugh::cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] therobzilla:
For some reason I lost the side bar? Had it, got a hot reboot and it's gone, how do I re-enable it?

Probably wipe dalvic and cache and reboot if didn't flash anything that would break it. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybfmv96:
I cant send long texts anymore? What's going on? My phone will just fail in sending any really long text message. I think its because of the ROM. I'm on the newest realise. Help?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NightRogue:
finally got all that stuff reloaded manually (working fine btw) and now somehow my external sdcard got write-protected. sigh.

So for anyone having problems like I was, here is what I did:

1) wipe cache and dalvik

2) wipe system

3) factory reset

4) wipe system again just for kicks

5) flash ROM

6) boot and immediately fix usb debugging issue

7) leave it alone for 20 minutes

8) in TIBU only restore aps.... do not restore data

Something apparently in the app data, even though it wasn't technically system data, wasn't playing nice with Ziggy's kernel in the new framework. Everything is running just as smooth as I have come to expect from a synergy ROM and Ziggy's kernel.

Needed to clean all that crap up anyway :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Did you read anything before you flashed the rom. If not this is least of your worries. :rolleyes::cool:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DieselNY:
Wipe system - does that whipe sd card? I didnt realize there is anything deper than a factory reset..hmmmm I am confused now, I just started using TWRP and was using CWM and I thought in TWRP we just do factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache and that is it. The wipe system I do not think was in CWM? but I do see it now in TWRP.

I also restore app data when in TIBU. So I guess another no no? that would suck as it installs all my home screen layouts perfectly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NightRogue:
formatting system is really not necessary i don't think because synergy does it for you, but no none of these wipes erase your files, just files related to the ROM.

I have always restored apps+data before, but as Prdog pointed out, some of those apps may contain data that is configured in such a manner that it will not play nice with the new framework. You can actually pick data for a few apps (i did) like email and banking and such, but i wouldn't go any further than that.

and you really don't need to do any of that unless you are having the problems I was having. I couldn't keep the ROM stable whatsoever without using a different kernel.

Everything running like butter again so I guess it's a good thing to do every now and again anyway if you flash a lot.

I just wish i knew a little more about linux so i could dive deeper into this stuff and troubleshoot. I am sure it was only one or maybe two programs that were causing a problem :(

Oh sorry about that. Didn't see the post. I'll look harder next time
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Weioo:
Not sure if anybody else has reported this, but upon a phone reboot, if you have an animated wallpaper active, the multi-window messes with the wallpaper.

So half my background is an animated wallpaper, half is blacked out. If I open multi-window menu and pull over even just one item, the effect goes away and the full wallpaper comes out. I tried this with a normal wallpaper and had no problems....Just the animated wallpaper. Very small bug, but annoying. :P

P.S. Finally donating...r169 is badass!

Edit: Now I gotta use another technique to get it back. Annoying...just wondering if anybody else has this problem with live wallpapers?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DieselNY:
I don't see an option in TiBu just to restore apps, I see restore all apps +data then apps+ data+ system data and then just system data. I don't see restore just apps alone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Use Kindacrap's mod and only do SystemUI and Framework mods. Do not do Android policy and will get Verizon back if check carrier label.

On TWRP if wipe top 4 will wipe everything. CWM does have System wipe but yall dirty flashers scared of it although Ech wipes it again for you. This rom needs a totally clean wipe till raw install to function properly. No data from ant source including TIBU. Start from scratch. It is little to pay compared to what Ech and the Team had to give up to get it to you. :rolleyes::cool:

Next build you should (not guaranteed) be able to restore your data once saved off this one. :cool:

I spent the time of trying to restore whatever data was available. I broke mine several times. That is how I know what works and don't work. I don't teach or recommend any thing I haven't already done myself. If it takes me a while to respond I am trying to duplicate what yall are doing. :cool:

IMEI

After the talk about the IMEI I checked my after installing the Synergy ROM.

The IMEI in the phone status is 14 characters and completely different than the IMEI that is under the battery (15 characters).

What is the effect and problems associated with not having the correct IMEI in the phone?

--------------------------------

I have a nandroid backup of the stock ROM prior to Synergy. Will this fix the IMEI?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
If you have calls and 4G you are good. Flashing Synergy made you a backup of IEMI. The numbers are there if everything is working it just reporting wrong in the transfer to OS. They are working on it. Synergy not the only rom. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Skubacb:
Thanks for letting me know. Really, really, happy to know it is just the reporting of it and not a problem with the actual number.

I was researching repairing it and did not look forward to that. I did find the backup files made by Synergy. Good on them. Now to copy them over to my PC for safe keeping!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
You good for now. We will let you know if there is a problem. Those problems come from going to AOSP/AOKP/CM and Mui. Then coming back to TW. I been on TW whole time and haven't come close to borking mine. :fingers-crossed::cool:

I notice when using Navigation and plugging a car charger, the phone doesn't charge fast enough in Navigation mode... Kind of a deal breaker for me if I'm making a long road trip and my phone is slowly dying even plugged with a car charger.

Does anyone know any good kernels to run with this rom? Appreciate if someone can PM or post me a link.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eschelon:
You're fine. You still have a 15-digit IMEI. The framework is only asking for the first 14 numbers. Kinda like when you meet a hot chick at the bar and you ask for her number and she only gives you 6 digits. Even though she really has 7 and her phone works fine, she only wants to write 6 down on the napkin for you.

The OS is just not spitting all 15 digits out to display for you. But it's all there, that last digit is just getting cutoff.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Sounds like you haven't done the USB debug fix and CPU is running at 100% and out running the charger. I can USB fast charge and wifi tether at same time and keep up. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NeWCuLTKiNG:

My question is if it is supposed to be a menu bar or what? It does have 3 "Buttons" in it..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Div033:
Explanation win. This is probably one of the best explanations of a bug/feature I've ever seen on XDA. Accurate and relatable (unfortunately).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
HaHaa. That where the trick comes in. They call them what they want but .9 usually the base. Gonna be more than one cause tab runs separate from the main body. It not a regular menu bar but has the same characteristics since it holds the multiple apps. Gonna have to pull the closest name sound and look and start there. Ech or a themer could respond and make it easier. We are gonna look after we get another part fixed. If have time to decompile will actually see them. If they are totally XML will be hard to find. May have to call in markers on my themers. :cool:
