Which screen transition and settings are you using in Nova?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NotATreoFan:
I presume you are trying to remove the VZW Hotspot? Unfortunately VZW integrated it into the framework, so it cannot be easily removed. Best option is to just hide it from the app drawer.

Personally, I always give a ROM 15-20 minutes to settle before even adding a Google account. Then I reboot it a few times and finish my setup from there. If you use Titanium Backup, don't ever restore system data and it shouldn't cause any problems.

you dont need to go stock, but you will have to push the normal cwm recovery instead of the kexec-packed one and dont forget to make a nandroid! ::)

Thanks for everything you guys are doing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Brian Gove:
I'm using Ziggy 's kernel from the ROM and I've had no issues since I originally formatted to fat32. Could your problem be because of the program you used to format? I'll edit my post in a few minutes and put the link to the one I used. Just gotta dig it up.

The svn will show the changes once it refreshes a bit later. Remember, there is a delay.

In the mean time, here's what I added in r53:

1) Removed Superuser, added SuperSU per request

2) Updated WiFi Tether to v3.2 beta2 to help those experiencing issues. Remember, I've already created the proper pre-sets for you

3) Updated some apps

4) Removed redundant files

Bug found on nightly 50, might exist on others:

After a reboot/cold boot, my status bar did not appear for some time. It took a full 2 minutes to appear once, and after a reboot about 5 minutes ago, would not appear altogether. Did a cold boot and it came back around 5 seconds after everything else loaded up.

It's freeware also, but like I said I used it on my card as soon as I pulled it out of the package practically and I've had no issues since;

Eschelon,

Could you please verify that I'm flashing the nightlies correctly or should I say the cleanest way.

* Wipe Data/Factory Reset

* Wipe Dalvik

* Wipe Cache

After all this is completed, stay in Recovery and then flash the nightly.

Reboot, let settle for 10/15 minutes

I use Exchange, so I then boot back to Recover and then flash the "Back to Stock Exchange", then System reboot and let settle.

Do I need to wipe Cache and Dalvik before I flash the, "Back to Stock Exchange" zip?

After all this is done, do I need to fix permissions or leave alone? If so, do I fix permissions through Recovery?

I just want to get it down correctly, done a bunch of reading and can't seem to find any details on the exact way to flash, the nightly "Data Wipe/Factory Reset" is a killer.. ;)

Thanks in advance.

Rob
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eschelon:
You only need to data wipe if you are experiencing issues. You may flash without wiping data as long as problems don't show up :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xraytedjim:
Sllllloooowwwww download of r53 :( (2hrs left)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Brian Gove:
Going nightly to nightly you don't need to do the data wipe/factory reset. And the "settling" isn't necessary I don't believe. You can flash the back to stock exchange right after you flash the nightly. If you don't do the factory reset you do need to wipe cache, so..

1. Wipe Cache

2. Wipe Davlik

3. Flash Nightly

5. Flash Back to Stock Exchange

5. Reboot

You don't need to fix permissions, if you're referring to the post I made, I did that because of an issue I was having.

EDIT: Eschelon beat me to it lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] therobzilla:
Thanks, tonight is going to be my last data wipe, after I flashed to r52, I've experienced two nagging issues, when mounting /mnt through root explorer, it's locking up, and when using Keyboard Pro, the Google function when talking into the phone and then having it covert to text has been locking up. Did not have these issues before r52?

Going to give it another shot tonight.

What about fixing permissions, after flashing the nightly and then stock exchange mod? Should I be messing with this, I read that you had written a script into the nightly that fixes permissions? I also read not to fix permissions through Recovery? How then would permissions be fixed, if not through Recovery?

Thanks Eschelon, you da man, BTW talked with Santod the other day, says he's got some really cool stuff he working on for the Tbolt... Miss my bolt, but love my S3.

Thanks again!

Brian,

Thanks I got it, had to do bunch of permission fixing when was using the Thunderbolt with Infected, was just part of it, I kinda got it fixed into my brain to permission fix after anything new that we flashed.

Sorry to be so repetitive, but I really appreciate the response.

Thanks again,

Ok, I just wanted to make sure what I had posted about the permissions hadnt thrown you off.

Is anybody having problems with settings/lang keyboard, it has force closed for me on the last 2 nightlies. Clean wipe both versions. Redownloaded, both clean wipe. No mods. Rebooted, battery pull. Still fc.

Edit: accessed smart keyboard thru app drawer, now settings/ lang keyboard works.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Metfanant:
sounds like an issue born from the fact that you're flashing a theme based on Synergy 1.7...youve probably got all sorts of conflicting files floating around
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RCOVA:
Nope. Has been happening since 1.7 I really don't care though. Lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Metfanant:
still dont like the idea of flashing mods/themes based off old versions of ROMs...no reason to possibly replace any tweaks the devs might have made with old code...

just my opinion though...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RCOVA:
Eh. You win some you lose some. To each their own I guess.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] racinwarrior:
its part of something that was added to systemUI for better notification support. it is normal. the statusbar will re-appear shortly after a reboot.

Is there a limit on file size you can transfer on fat 32? Thought i read somewhere it was a 4 gb limit. Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jurassitol:
Yup, FAT32 max file size is 4.0Gb.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] psufan5:
4GB, yes. exFAT will allow larger files, but some ROMs (CM10) cant read it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Sycobob:
I'm noticing somewhat high standby drain. I just posted in general about it as I'm not sure whether it's Synergy related or not. I think it might be Google Maps' location services, but the majority of the alarm wakelocks seem to be unaccounted for in BetterBatteryStats, so it may not be. I end up getting about 1.2% drain per hour when sleeping and not touching the phone. I know this phone can get ~.5% per hour under ideal conditions. Kernel Wakelocks are fairly high it seems. mmc2_detect for 11m30s and bam_dmux_wakelock for 10m21s are my top two (above deleted_wake_locks and PowerManagerService). Also, the ROM defaulting to using the 1.9 GHz OC doesn't help :P (but that's only when awake)

Anyone else notice if things are similar for them? Anyone getting that magical .5% per hour?

Thanks a ton for SuperSU. I love being able to disable superuser and watch movies from the market. Much easier than removing superuser.Apk every flash.

BT and Headset Jack

I am pretty sure this worked under my original phone ROM but not 100% sure. Anyways I have a Parrot 3200 BT for the car. This deveice does not have BT streaming. So I have my headset plugged into my stereo in order to stream slacker. However when I go to use my BT I get no audio over the BT and also slacker, of course, stops playing. However when I unplug the headset jack and go to use the BT Audio is fine. I know this is a Jacked up connection for both but that is all I have. Anyone else have something similiar working?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmotyka:
I can't find the answer. But does this require kexec recovery?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Kexec has been discontinued. Unlock your bootloader and flash rom in recovery of your choice. Kernel is included.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ufjay5:
Does this Rom read extFat?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Don't know about the rom although it shows ext4 tweaks in OP. The recoveries don't support extFat on external due to legal concerns.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ufjay5:
I'm not concerned about recovery..i store to internal..i have a64 gb sdxc card and it is not recognized with unlocked Rom (I'm currently on 1.7). I have not formatted to fat32 because of the 4gb file limitation. If someone knows if this Rom supports exFat that would be great. Thanks'coz
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ENDonDESIGN:
Try clearing your cache for Google+ then retry the hangout. I if that doesn't work re install google+.

I have had that happen to me and I had to reinstall my google+ to fix the issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Bert336:
Thanks man, re-installing worked...

my guess is that the Google+ that comes in Gapps is incomplete.

anyways im back online thanks again!:good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] d1ez3:
You're a lot like me obsessing over idle and percentage per hour. I always watch power use age with battery monitor widget. The best idle I've ever had on this phone was 0.8%/hr and that's with WiFi on. Ironically without data on I get worse drain. I did a complete wipe last night to 53 and will report back with my idle Adrian. Usually takes about an hour of idle before you see the good deep sleep numbers IMO.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Kawirider1228:
So I'm on r52 and my phone hasn't gone into deep sleep since flashing it. Something is keeping it awake. I've rebooted it countless times and the battery stats aren't showing any out of control apps. Might have to do with the wakelock from the guy above, perhaps?

Andriod system drain

Wanted to comment on the "Android system" drain. From my research and digging around with BBS it seems the 2 main offenders can be wifi with some routers (my linksys at work causes a HUGE amount of Rx lan/wan blah bla blah or some sort of wakelocks ) and something to do with the GPS/AGPS. If I use my gps on the way to work and don't reboot I have a ton of Kernel partial wakelocks which give me abnormally high Android system usage. Just something to keep in mind if you're seeing this issue.

PS: Both issues aren't rom specific from what i understand...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] therobzilla:
OK,

Confirmed that their is an issue, here is what I have:

I use Smart Keyboard Pro, I also use GoSMS, and the Voice Recognizer button, "Mic" button on the keyboard allows talking into the phone and having voice translated to text, when your driving it's the best way to respond to email and text message without killing someone on the road. However after r50 it started becoming very unstable, sometimes working and others not.

In Voice Input settings, i have Google as the default, every time I try to use this, function, click the mic button and then talk into the phone, the recognition locks up, and crashes the keyboard.....

Now here is the weird part, if I use the jellybean keyboard, it works like a champ, however the Jellybean keyboard for my big ass finger is not something I'm after, I have been using the "Smart Keyboard Pro" for years and know it very well.

Eschelon what am I doing wrong, everything worked really well and super fast before r50 now its extremely unstable at best?

The other confirmed issues, is mounting /mnt, 50% of the time it crashes Root Explorer Pro, it just hangs then crashes.

This was after a complete factory wipe, clean install, and I'm unlocked.

Any suggestions, would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Thanks,

Likely caused by updates to the Google Now TTS engine.

Google Now is a port from Jelly Bean and is not supposed to be working on ICS. It's a hack job. There are like 3 or 4 different versions floating around out there and all of them have varying bugs. For example, on version A features 1,2, and 3 work, but 4 is broken. On version B features 2,3, and 4 work, but 1 is broken. Etc...

What we really need is a Jelly Bean leak so that we can ditch the hacked GNow and use a fully working version.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] therobzilla:
I get it, is there any way to get a zip to flash back to the old Google Now version that was working prior, and keep the rest of the updates on the nightlies, kinda like using the, "Back to stock exchange zip"? I have to have the voice to talk button, with as much driving I do for a living, other wise I'm stuck on the JB keyboard and that's not going to work for me, not with the size of my fingers.....

Thanks for your help!

Rob
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eschelon:
Just added a flashable to the OP in the mods section which will get you back :)

Only flash this if you guys are having issues with Google Now TTS capabilities as you are going backwards by using this apk. But it's there for those having issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] therobzilla:
I know it's going back but the other keyboard is much more user friendly when driving.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Brian Gove:
It did on 1.7 at least. I've had mine formatted to fat32 since before I flashed a nightly.

Why is everyone concerned about the 4gb file size limit? Most of the answers I get are due to Blue Ray rips, but why in the world would you need such a high quality movie rip on a 4.8" phone? It doesn't even have HDMI outputs on it(unless I'm missing something) :confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] WizeGuyDezignz:
Don't worry, I question a lot of things on here. I question why someone would need a 64gb card on this phone, why people need to put over a 4gb file on the phone, why people use Wifi so much over 4G, and the list goes on. I understand the Wifi thing if you don't have unlimited data and it saves some battery, but can't figure it out otherwise.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Brian Gove:
well, having the 64gb card + 32gb internal = almost all my music == no more crapple ipod to carry around too. So I can understand having the space at least :) lol /off topic

Gps accuracy

how acurate is the GPS on this rom or does it even make a differance? I go back and forth between No sympathies and Clean rom each on seems to only be able to get within 20 feet of my actual location on maps. No sympathy does seem to be a we bit closer and each seem to be off in a repeatable location one is southwest the other north east. I like to use my phone to geocache so accuracy is important to me.

or is the bottom line that no phone can really get you within 6 feet? :confused:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Glasairmell:
The accuracy of the GPS on this ROM takes me down to around 10 feet at best. That is super actually. I use the GPS for aviation navigation and off road navigation with Back Country Navigator. If you can not find that geocache within 20 feet you probably need glasses any way!

for most of the past builds i have noticed JB Keyboard in my sytem apps and starting with 50 i started seeing it missing in the system apps

when i go into nobloat and turn off specific items it used to show up but not it is gone but it still shows up as an option under settings language

i use swiftkey and never use JB or any other and i woul dlike to turn it off but it seems that option was removed or moved to a different method

any ideas??

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jacquestrapp:
The phone can output over HDMI using an MHL to HDMI adapter (the phone's micro USB port is an MHL port). Also, although the screen is small, it is 1280 x 720 pixels in landscape, which is 720p HD resolution. So if you watch a 720p movie on it, the picture is small but you're seeing all the pixels
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Glasairmell:
Lol you are correct! But try that Back Country Navigator and you can also use the topo and lat and long the old fashioned way to help find it.

Btw have you checked out GPS Esentials to help with locating the cache?

4G is also very not "shotty" in a LOT of locations. I get 25 down on my phone everywhere in the county I live in. I pay for 40 down through ISP and don't get nearly what my 4g gets. Not to mention all the router cache issues with mobile devices on WiFi. I agree with other guy that IF I still had my unlimited data from big red, I'd probably never ever have ever turned my WiFi on this phone on.

Hey, good for you! But it is shoddy in a lot of places, as in, it doesn't exist. I have yet to get 4G in the area I live in, so I do use WiFi a lot. Why wouldn't I? I also agree, IF I had 4G and still had unlimited data I'd never use WiFi either. But that isn't the case.

EDIT: I should clarify: I'm not talking about the efs backup in our ROM, I'm talking about the whole smash. The IMEI loss issue with this phone, as well as all the QPST methods people are using on this phone with limited success. We think we may have a way to prevent and fix IMEI loss
