1. So what is the proper way to edit/create bootanimations for our ROM?

2. what needs to be changed to edit the color of the clock? I don't want the clock in the center...just want it to be Blue to match the icons

I can make a seperate zip just for the pulldown and the toggles. Thats what I started out with and started changing a few other things.

any 1 have another download link for R55 ? it says its gonna take 4hours to download :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Metfanant:
weird issue...has happened twice now so i think i have it narrowed down...

I've been messing around with System Tuner and trying to lock in a governor/clock speed that i like on Synergy...Well i was using the msm-dcvs governor and everything seemed fineno lag...benchmarks were great etc....nothing really noticeable in performance...

then last night for laughs i decided to run some benchmarks...benchmark scores sucked...now i know bench marks don't mean much...but for scores to be significantly lower threw up a red flag for me...reboots, cache wipes, changing governors nothing would help...so i thought since i had dirty flashed the last nightly that it could be an issue there...so i wiped data and gave it a fresh install...

benchmark scores back to normal...

switched the governor back to msm-dcvs...everything seemed fine for awhile...a few hours later i ran more benchmarks...scores significantly lower...tried everything again...nothing will fix it...so i boot back into recovery do a data wipe...benchmarks are back up...

for the past 6 hours or so ive left the governor set to ondemand and things have been FINE since...

anyone have ANY idea what the deal with this might be?...i know ill probably get responses saying "benchmarks don't mean anything...yadda yadda...." and i agree, but the drastic changes and scores, and my ability to seemingly replicate it have to mean something

The skype issue isn't with this specific ROM I think. It's very widespread with the touchwiz rom that the S3 released with and there's already tons of users complaining about reliability and being able to call/login etc. Bottom line, the app needs to be updated for the S3 and with Microsoft at the helm.....it may be awhile......I'm suffering from all sorts of issues with the app as well but I don't think it's synergy related.

This rom has definitely made my experience with this phone better, but I miss my Rezound. I wish Verizon sold the HTC ONE X.

This phone does have better specs than the Rezound and is the really the only reason why I'm using on it until something better comes out.

HTC definitely makes a better set of apps that makes using Android more appealing and user friendly.

Oh well!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] doeboy711:
What steps have you already tried to fix it? I've seen a few people that had problems and they just turn the actual GPS off and then back on and it worked. Maybe try a reboot as well if that doesn't work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] supercell2000:
Here are some methods you can use to try and fix your GPS issues. Be sure to reboot after each of these steps and check to see if your GPS is working.

1) Go to settings/Location services. Uncheck all three boxes. Wait 10 seconds. Check only Standalone GPS services.

2) Go into settings/more settings/mobile networks/Global Data Roaming Access. Make sure "Allow access for all trip" is checked.

3) Go to settings/Application manager/maps. Force stop and clear data. Open maps. Go to settings/Offline and cache and clear all map tiles

4) If none of the above methods work, you can try to revert back to factory reset, although with so many people having working GPS, it's most likely not Synergy causing it.

5) Samsung is aware that some phones are having GPS problems and are working on a patch to address it.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] slanidracula:
Unlock your bootloader with ez unlock in the play store. Reflash ROM. Profit.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eschelon:
Above the download link and also in the Q&A for how to install the ROM it states that you need to unlock your bootloader. This ROM comes with a custom kernel but will skip installing it if your bootloader is still locked. However, the modules (such as those that control WiFi) that come with the ROM are engineered to work with the custom kernel in this ROM only; they will not work with stock.

TL;DNR version: Unlock your bootloader or WiFi will not work

I'm on r53 and having battery drain whenever I turn on gps and have lock.

I read about people having gps issue. It I have no problem at all. If I don't use it.

Reboot doesn't help. Delete cache and delvik doesn't help either.

I tried just re flashing r53 over it again to see if it helps and it does.

Does anyone have any advice?

I don't use gps all that much but would still like to have it working.

Any advice is appreciated!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] flip218:
Try opening Messaging and settings. makes sure Vibrate is selected to Always.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mulsifer:
You need the bootanimation.zip file. Using an app like Root Explorer you have to copy it to /systems/media/ to replace the existing one and then change the security to rw/r/r. Assuming it is one that will work with this phone, you should be fine. When Esch announced this, he also said that the desc.txt in your animation needs to end with this to avoid looping after the OS has loaded:

p 1 0 part0

p 0 0 part1
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Metfanant:
ok, and im assuming we can just backup the existing bootanimation and restore it the same way??

since Synergy flashes the kernel along with the ROM...im assuming if we flash a kernel other than ziggy's that we have to re-flash the other kernel after flashing a new Synergy nightly yes?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] marsonist:
I've been running Synergy since 1.2 or so. Clean wiping when necessary, dirty wiping when not. I've noticed with the last nightly or two that if I get a text message while I'm on a call, that I get an annoying double beep every thirty seconds or so.

I only use the stock messaging app, and even if I read the message I can't get the beeping to stop. Even after I end my call my phone continues to double beep every handful of seconds.

The only way I've gotten the tone to stop is by manually killing the messaging app.

This is repeatable after reboots.

Any thoughts?

2 quick questions

First, is there a theme that will make this rom look like stock? I love all of the features in here, but I prefer the stock theme (no offense).

Also, is it possible to flash this directly over stock, or would I have to wipe data/ do a factory reset first?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Neverendingxsin:
If you mean the stock samsung theme, it basically is the stock theme just with a few different colors.

As for the second question, a full wipe coming from stock is

HIGHLY

recommended, as well as having your bootloader unlocked. If you don't do both of those you are guaranteed to have issues.

You should be just fine running any of my boot animations found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=30187850

Another trick is to put bootanimation.zip in data/local. This way you don't have to set permissions and you won't lose the animation until you do a factory reset/ wipe data.

Is it really that difficult to go "Here I use/found this theme here: link. Also yes go right ahead/no you must do a full wipe.

I already have the bootloader unlocked, I've been switching back and forth between root66 stock and the unofficial CM10. I just don't want to have to go through downloading all of my apps and losing my game data when I switch to synergy. I already have both the CM10 and root 66 nandroid-ed (that's how I've been switching) but that wouldn't stop me from having to start fresh if I were to wipe everything on synergy. That's why I ask if I can just flash over stock is so I can keep all my data. Thanks for the reply!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MG386:
I use my backup pro and go back and forth between aosp and synergy. Apps and app data always restore fine and make a full clean flash and restore quick and easy. I think titanium will do it too. A clean wipe/format/flash ensures you always run top notch and you don't have problems not knowing if it was from a dirty flash or not.

Yea, CWM takes care of everything if I go to reset back to CM10 or if I go back to stock, but I won't have any of my stuff when I'm on synergy. That was my concern. It'd be easy to switch back to what I have now, that's the whole point of nandroid.
