Not trying to give you a hard time. We all experience the same thing. Stock kernel ran better than unsecured stock kernel. Any change in rom can kill benchmarks. Any change in kernel can kill benchmarks. Any change at the same time with rom/kernel can kill benchmarks. The fastest smoothest roms on all devices usually have the worst benchmarks. But bottom line the devs cannot fix if you are running someone elses kernel or an old version of rom. They need to know what is happening with the latest of both.

What did you wipe and what recovery are you using. Wiping dalvic and cache only fixes apps. Has nothing to do with rom. Need to wipe data, dalvic, cache and system. System is the rom. If I have the option with the recovery I also wipe boot. On this device I use TWRP and don't have the boot option.

No use trying to download now, too many people trying at the same time. Real slow speeds. Time for bed anyway.

Got antsy and had to get the nightly immediately. Download number one god I'm becoming a flashaholic lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Metfanant:
as ive explained 100 times...i was running the "latest of both" when the problem happened...the kernel swaps were simply to test the variables...and nothing made a difference until going back to r60...once on r60 changing kernels also has no effect...but the scores remained high...

ive also explained this MULTIPLE times...i wiped EVERYTHING...in particular, on the last flash before reverting to r60...just to make sure everything was clean....

1. boot into recovery

2. wipe data/wipe cache/wipe dalvik/format system

3. flash r64

4. wipe cache

5. wipe dalvik

6. reboot

when this did not cure the issue i then...

1. boot into recovery

2. wipe data/wipe cache/wipe dalvik

3. flash r60

4. reboot

everything back to normal

i use CWM 6.0.1.2 (touch)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] epagib:
If you've been reading the past few pages it may seem synergy is unstable. Lol

Personally I have not had any issues since r52 (except for a minor hiccup for r63 that E fixed almost instantaneously)

Testing 66 now...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] d1ez3:
just try 66 and see if that works, this is getting annoying. No one else seems to have any issues it seems. Mine was perfect on 64, 60, 53 all dirty flashed
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Metfanant:
with all due respect you can shove youre "annoying" i would do everything i could to help you if youre phone had an issue

and actually there were at least 2 other users that reported performance issues on r64 and flashing back to r60 cured them..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Waldo_:
Great rom

Same here, love this rom. The download went pretty fast for me so you may want to try again if you are waiting for faster speeds. The only thing that seems to not be working for me is the vralg1 radio doesn't seem to go on. Anyone else having this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jcurley:
Good God man. Use the ROM that works best for you. They are nightly releases. Flash a new one.

Every Rom works a little different on any phone.

Has anyone gotten a freezing issue when going from the camera app right into the gallery? Happened once, just wanted to see if it in an issue or maybe everyone is right and my sd card is crapping.

When using Swype anyone have it were the cursor jumps around within your text when typing on a website using Chrome?

this is just comical...im not going to bother getting into anymore...but flashing r66 and BAM the exact same benchmark score issues...and its always CPU related...gaming or graphics related scores remain the same as r60...but CPU performance takes a **** again

just for my own sanity...somebody run smartbench 2012 and tell me what they get for scores...and if you have the paid version...im particular interested in the the Mandelbrot test

I've been running your room for a little over a week now, and I'm loving it. No problems at all, runs fast and good battery life. Great work! Loving all the updates, too. Keep deving like a boss!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Nightwind Hawk:
Yeah, you can always go back to stock, but it won't be *as* simple as taking the OTA. You can either ODIN back to the stock ROM and wait for the OTA, or just ODIN to the new ROM once others have made it online (and probably rooted/deodexed!) :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Chase.Barnett:
So how difficult will it be to upgrade to jelly bean once it is released? That's my concern. I feel stupid, but all the processes are different from my razr which is what I am used too. This is my first Samsung smartphone and my first Samsung in at least 5 years.

A little bit of a learning curve here.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bobloblaw1:
Not to be a jerk but this isn't the appropriate place to be asking this. Try to keep it on topic by discussing the rom.

As for your question, you can look in the "original development" forum where aosp based jellybean builds are posted and the steps to install them are listed.

As for touch wiz jelly bean roms, that will be contingent on samsung releasing touch wiz jelly bean. I'd imagine flashing it would be similar to current flashing procedure for ics based roms. But that is reading tea leaves and is pure speculation.

-Hai guise don't feel like looking at 5 pages but I haz problems on the pre-alpha release and I don't know why.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] WizeGuyDezignz:
Like Nightwind said, you can either Odin the stock image and pull the update or just wait for a dev to post the rooted version of it. No sweat either way, you will be fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] m52 power!:
So I'm having some issues with this ROM and its really bugging me.

Haptic feedback doesn't work. I've tried turning it on and off several times in keyboard but it does nothing. Also the system vibrations aren't working at all either.

Wifitether works maybe 2\5 times. It starts up fine but doesn't broadcast ssid. So I have to turn tether off/on until it does and then everything is fine. Sometimes it will never broadcast ssid and I have to restart the phone.

---------- Post added at 05:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:30 PM ----------

It gets even weirder. I am noticing old personal settings from my previous ROM still enabled after installing synergy. How is that possible? I did a full wipe, even including the system partition, and noticed even when flashing synergy that it formatted partitions too. Never seen this issue, can anybody shed some light?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NotATreoFan:
You will just have to wait for a CWM-friendly update to be released by the awesome devs here.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] justinglock40:
Can we get that stock tethering with provisioning removed baked in?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Nightwind Hawk:
For haptic feedback, try this:

Settings --> Sound --> Turn Auto Haptic on. Does that help? You can click on it and make sure any apps that would use any haptic feedback is checked. Also make sure the "haptic feedback" above it is checked. This did the trick for me.

What kind of settings are you noticing?? Within apps? Perhaps the apps are using their old data which was stored on the phone memory in a folder - because the data wipe does NOT delete your entire phone memory, such as camera pictures, titanium backup, etc. - only the system data.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] elude79:
Hi

I did a clean install. Wiped everything in CW. Also no theme install. All from the dev of the Rom.

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] foocankill:
After my phone has been idle form an while WiFi turns itself off which is welcome. But it does not auto turn back on. I have to turn off WiFi and turn if back on.

Anyone else have this issue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Nightwind Hawk:
Sorry for the basic question, but is Motion activated?? and the palm swipe to capture?

Settings > Motion
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MrBrady:
When you first log in with you Google account there's an option for 'Backup my settings' or similar. With that checked I believe it will also restore settings. After installation you can change this in Settings / Backup and Reset.

That's my best guess
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Schaweet:
Yes it is. So many people are having issues with this. Just use the side of your right hand and swipe left to right. It works fine for me.

Trying to flash this via TWRP but, for some reason, TWRP isn't recognizing the zip. I haven't changed the name and the file has .zip at the end but nothing I've tried makes TWRP see the zip.

Anyone else seen this and, if so, how'd you fix it?

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] foocankill:
Try redownloading the zip and putting it back on your phone.

Try downloading zip again... I flashed with TWRP and it it running perfectly. Definitely do full wipe and start clean.

Edit... What does your zip read?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lynneddington:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eschelon:
Got almost everything done. Only kicker is that green bar now. The file I'm modding to fix that is one of the dreaded 9-patch images. I push the apk and reboot and it works fine. I take the exact same apk and pack it up into a full ROM package and flash and it completely kills the interface. We can't figure it out.

Don't wait on me, go enjoy your Saturday nights. Check back late tonight or earlier tomorrow to see if I've got it fixed. In the mean time, it's back to the lab for me...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prenedo:
It's set that way by default. Settings > wifi > advanced : 'keep wifi on during sleep' should be set to always. Hope that helps.

Edit: not sure why it won't reconnect... that 'feature' was working OK for me until I changed it. Make sure you have entered your networks password. I had to do it twice for some reason.

yes....CPU0 pegged CPU1 offline even with no cpu usage
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] epagib:

.....but it came back! For past 5 min or so BOTH cores are stuck at max set frequency.

Anyone knows if this is normal for smartass2?

I will stick with ondemand for now, or use IMO's 0.6 in the meantime which has been working great for me.

hey folks, loving my r60 build. its running with no issues and my battery life has been killer!

So, I added the center clock mod and now I don't see a status bar. I mean, it's there but it's black. Sorry if this has already been addressed. I just can't search from the app, unless I'm blind. :/

Is there a way reverse this besides wiping it? I didn't think to make a backup for something like this. Heh.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MrBrady:
Reflash the ROM. Don't wipe data. Just wipe cache and dalvik.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] epagib:
Thanks. Will give it a shot
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eschelon:
If it returned only a 0 and not a 0-1 then I would suggest not running smartassv2 right now. It won't break your phone by any means, but it would appear Ziggy missed something. That's what happens when you build blind, I guess. Stick to lagfree in the meantime
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xraytedjim:
0 (as in zero)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] epagib:
OK, with smartass, both CPU at 384hz = 0-1

Lag free, both CPU at 384 = 0-1

Smartass with CPU0 stuck at 1.51 = 0

ok thanks, will do. oh lagfree did go offline on my last test but this reboot it seems to be sticking
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Brian Gove:
I think I'm onto a somewhat idea as to why it takes a few tries to get the WiFi tether to work....(setting it on and then off then on again)

I think it has something to do with ROOT permissions... I went to the darkside tonight and flashed CM10 Nightly 8/31 and in the same situation with WiFi tether for Root users far as enabling and then disabling it... Well, first time I enabled it(on multiple boots/occasions) it didn't ask me for root... and it didn't work... disable>re-enable it asked me for Root, I granted and it worked...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chetqwerty:
Nope, cpu 1 went offline on lagfree again and wouldnt restart until i toggled to another governer then back. going to sleep hopefully a fix tomorrow. thanks E and Ziggy for the work

I'm on r64 and everything is working great (thanks Ech!) but when I try to download tracks in Rhapsody, WiFi keeps disconnecting and then reconnecting. I've tried several physical locations in my house, from right in front of the router to 10 feet away to another floor of the house (but still with a full signal) and have the same result. I've cleared cache and dalvik, which didn't resolve the issue. Is there a fix for this? Thanks.

I used ROM toolbox to modify the CPU speed (1900 max and 384 min) and would like to disable any CPU speed modification and just run the CPU at whatever config and speed it's supposed to run. How do I disable the CPU customization/control changes? Do I have to uninstall the app that's controlling it or can I just uncheck "apply on boot" and reboot the phone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] epagib:
I think you're referring to the stock governor? That would be the msm-dcvs option. That's the stock Qualcomm CPU governor.

From what I understand, Android always need a kernel to run, and the governor is a component of the kernel. Just have to choose stock or custom

"Apply on boot" means ROM toolbox will adjust the CPU setting to what you've chosen at every reboot. I believe current Ziggy defaults to 1.91 anyways.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:
I am going to say this once since it has been said a 1000 times throughout XDA

Benchmark tests are bull****! And Quadrant is the worst of them.

If you are interested in comparing benchmarks like penis sizes then check out the benchmark programs PC World uses here

A lot of people can write a routine in the ROM to make the benchmark do whatever they want.

Benchmarks make a single calculation based on a general processor algorithm and time it for any given test.

Lots of things can affect that and in most cases have absolutely no bearing on the actual performance the user sees.

A ROM thread is no place for constantly rehashing and repeating the same statement about a benchmark.

Take it somewhere else. Make a thread in Q&A and discuss benchmark numbers all you want.

If you have a real lag issue then please discuss it.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Yeah if people seem to be "pissed off" about their kernel issues that's a personal problem. As for the other seemingly complaints I'm reading, I can only assume those people are confirming the issues so they may be looked into.

Also I'll take this time to say :

Thanks for all the hard work Synergy team.

R50 working great.

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?

Yesterday at work I experienced my first GPS issue. Starting to believe the issue didn't even exist.. But eventually I got GPS to recognize my position. Never lost GPS before but today at work I turned off my phone instead of restarting.

Turned my phone back on and had to do a back flip and a lot of praying to get a GPS fix (downloaded GPS Status among other little things) . I rely on it at work and I was lost for 10 minutes without it in the city I did not know my way around. I really wish I knew what to blame. Oh well.

Bypass activation attempts?

First off, this rom is fantastic and everything works great. I am trying to setup my phone without activating so I can take my sweet time at it. I have been able to do the 4 corner and volume up trick to get in obviously which is how I was able to root and install synergy. My problem now is as soon as the phone boots up and I try to do anything it starts attempting to activate. The only way I can stop this is to put the phone into airplane mode, but that does me no good since I need wifi to install my apps. Would removing the sim card be a safe way to resolve this while I configure the phone? Any suggestions would be appreciated. The phone is awesome and I'm coming from a rezound.
