Will there ever be numbered releases of Synergy again? I was on v1.7 for a long time, I never flashed a nightly because there is just too much information for a casual flasher like myself to sort out whether a certain build is better or worse than another. I finally switched to CleanROM. I like Synergy's features (call recording is the main one I miss) and would like to switch back, but are the nightlies intended to culminate in a v2.0 release of the ROM or some other stable version that will be released parallel to the nightly versions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ddurandSGS3:
Youre not required to flash nightly on a nightly ROM, either Jacques. I flashed r60 and i havent had an issue, so I havent flashed any of the newer builds.

I dont think well see a major update until the switch to jellybean
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] t0adman:
Same settings as previous nightlies and this one just started slamming the battery. My usage profile hasn't changed much.

For comparison sake, this was my previous usage on v1.5.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rwc95:
I went back to r68 its runs great on my phone :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] aypeeootrek:
So what are you guys using to tether on this rom? I'm on r55 right now and can't get either the wifi hot spot in the toggle menu to work or wifi tether app. They both connected but my tab wasn't getting online. Both got connected though. The wifi tether app wasn't uploading or downloading and the toggle one didn't show. I have 3g service where I'm at right now

Edit. Also can't get the vibrate and sound toggle in the sound menu to turn on. My phone never vibrates for notifications. I'm sorry if both these issues have been brought up. I've read hundreds of posts in this thread and I either forgot about them or forgot where they were. Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] im_on_fire:
I have this issue on r64 as well. I have to toggle both several times to get wifi-tether working.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] s197:
What settings are you using in the WiFi tether app? I had to mess around with mine. I think what finally worked was setting it to Galaxy Nexus (CDMA/LTE) and setup-method to auto.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dan_joegibbsfan:
E's recommendation for battery is to charge to 100% then reboot the phone.

I have had one app cause an issue while flashing nightlies so when I nailed down what the culprit was I uninstalled it, rebooted, then re-installed it and everything went back to working great!

P.S. Since E's battery recommendation I make it normal practice to flash my nightly, also flash my theme stuff, let everything settle down (media catch up etc.) then charge to 100%, and reboot. Since doing this I haven't had drastic battery issues like you are describing. Right now I'm on r71 with 3 hours on battery and 35% screen time (30 min) and at 87% battery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] aypeeootrek:
Haven't messed with any settings. Didn't cross my mind because the app worked just from clicking it on my Droid x. Will mess with it though. Thanks and I'll give your settings a shot
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Metfanant:
in response to the battery worries....

it seems fine on my end...so it doesn't seem to be r71 in and of itself causing the problem...32 mins of screen on time no auto brightness set to ~75% brightness
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] aypeeootrek:
So switching to galaxy nexus seemed to work. Very slow right now but posting from my tab as we speak. Thanks a lot
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Shibby87:
I've been letting it drain until it powers off, booting into CWM then wiping battery stats under advanced.. still getting 9 hrs of screen time on r71.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] OmidoStyle:
Clean flashed r71 last night, everything has been perfect so far. No force closes, no reboots, battery life is looking good.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
This app does the same thing although clearing the stats actually does nothing anyway.

For those of you looking for a way to check CPU usage I found 2 nd core. Its original purpose does not work on the SGS 3 but it does show core frequency and weather its online or not.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] t0adman:
Guilty. Next time I'll just write out the stats. I'm not a fan of the monster images either. Sorry.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DelFrogo:
Screen Stays On after text, email, etc

Yes, I get the same thing happen to me when I get an email or text in the middle of the night. I also have my phone set to time out in 2 minutes and it just stays on well past that.

I'm running R68 and using Apex Launcher. I was previously running R56 w/o the Apex and it was fine. Maybe its that. I'll try updating to a newer release and see if it clears the problem if not i'll remove Apex and try again. I really want to keep my launcher :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mulsifer:
I use Apex and don't have this issue. --Currently running r64. In previous builds I was having problems with Wifi turning off and I would need to toggle it off and on again to get it back. If I used the *#0011# solution for Wifi sleeping issues, it was preventing my screen from automatically timing out. I had this problem with rooted stock so it's not relevant to Synergy, i think.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RCOVA:
Fine. Then I got 20 hrs of screen time. :P lol jk But you do have a point. It's just some of us like proof :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Stam2000:
I'm pretty sure E said you don't need to wipe battery stats. It is automatically done after charge to 100%
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DelFrogo:
So I updated to r71 from r68 with a clean install and it cleared the screen not turning off problem. I also reinstalled Apex 1.2.5-2 and restored my other apps and I can confirm that the problem is resolved, even after I receive a notification. I can rest at peace knowing my battery won’t drain whilst I’m not looking at the screen.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Pete7ate:
I will just wait for the dev to update the rom.:D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Erickomen27:
Is anyone else with a Mac using this ROM? I can't get my phone to show up on my computer!! If I flash back to stock I'm able to no problem! Anyhelp would be appreciated!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] s197:
There's a program called Android File Transfer. Give that a shot, works for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xXJay_RXx:
That's what I use for my Mac
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Elite49:
Thats what I'm wondering. I'm not new to Android but am Nightlies and I come on here usually every night and will always go "Ok, I will update from 1.2 finally..." then I read the comments. Some say its good, others say issues. Kind of off putting and I love this rom and think those who make it are some of the best when it comes to community.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
I'm still on 64 with Sept1 kernel. I do the same. Watch the changes and the reports and upgrade accordingly. Rom and or kernel will not settle and give you a stable build if you dirty flash every 24 hours. Never has and never will. I'm running 64 with Ziggy Sept1 at 1.7/364. All cores working, no GPS or reboot issues. I will update to Ziggy's newest as that is what I do. If it runs fine with 64 I will move up in Synergy revision level and test from there. That is how it is done. If you change everything every night and have problems there is no way for the devs to know what is causing the problems. Most problems are operator malfunction and not rom or kernel from my experience. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Young War:
So if we are having issues, is the best solution to format and flash the newest nightly? Or should we simply revert to an older version with a simple cache and dalvik wipe?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ddurandSGS3:
ive seen people do both. i havent had one synergy proven hiccup yet. its running flawlessly for me on the r60 build.

i think its important to remember that everyones phone is different and their desires are different. so the results of each build will be different too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
+100000000 :cool:

If you expect to dirty flash nightly you phone will always run like ****. It takes time for rom and or kernel to settle. Has never changed. The kids now say single wipe works. I'm old school. We had same memory but father of recoveries Amon always recommended wipex3. May be overkill but as a professional tester I have had to reflash after 1 wipe but never after 3x wipe to fix bull**** problems.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chetqwerty:
will tonight build have any changes to the kernel or will it just but setting a default max freq?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Brian Gove:
How is doing the same thing three times going to help at all?! If you wipe everything and it erases everything how its wiping again going to do anything different?! You're a weirdo.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] samscinate:
Absolutely false. Dirty flasher here with IMO latest kernel voltage tweaked like crazy and themed to my liking. Not one complaint or issue. And wiping more than once is complete waste of time. I will not cram this thread with 100 links to prove it instead Google a user named adrynaline, yes spelled as is. For speak to him. You speak nothing of old school.I don't think It's fair for you to spread your poor experiences into Synergy. Everyone's equipment could react differently, let them learn. This way they don't continue spreading ur illness and ignorance. There are more dirty flashers than not, those who do, wouldn't continue if such issues you speak of were so true. Enjoy multiple wiping ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
I may be a wierdo but I go by what the recovery developers recommend. You know that there are apps that can pull your info from your wipe. The rom can also pull that info. If data is not totally over written it can end up in your new flash. All I know is if I wipe old school I don't have any of the problems yall report. :cool:

The activity link will describe change. :)

Yeah I have it and I use it but for whatever reason with this ROM I can't pick it up, i've tried everything :confused: thanks for the suggestion though!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cadams122593:
download the one from 8 am am i correct?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] samscinate:
Well if you listen to a dev then what makes you think a wipe is writing over anything?? Nuking something will write over the space. Wiping does not do this. So even after you wipe three times, the information could still be recovered!! There is no need anywhere in here to wipe more than once!! Period.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PetRiLJoe:
I never complained but if this is better thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] goldsmitht:
+1

:confused:

assuming (which is ususaly a bad idea) that the latest is the best one to use? What's the difference?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chetqwerty:
Yes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
I'm gonna leave it here. We test on our devices before anything is released. If there is a problem we report and fix. If works fine on ours it is you, your procedure or your device. That is the bottom line. What other devs including kernel devs from other sites is irrelevant. We have been dealing with that for years. I have not seen any problems from any kernel that has been released for this rom and have never backed up to an earlier version. If you are running different kernels it is not rom related It is your kernel and if you do not fully wipe the script from that kernel will be stuck and corrupt Ziggy's kernel. Been there done that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chetqwerty:
I agree assuming is a bad idea but unless you try to figure out A LOT of things yourself in this thread your definitely going to scratch a hole clean through your head!

Works for me on r50. Sometimes I need to click back and forth between MTP and PTP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
You can run what you want. I don't support running other devs kernels from other sites. If you want to change voltages and clock speeds do it on Ziggy's. You don't know what source code they are using. lol And all revisions since 64 are volume and kernel related so why upgrade. Don't troll for the kernel devs.

R71 issue

Haven't heard this one, or if it has been posted, can't find it;

this occured on R71with ziggy's loaded kernel (one that came with the rom) -- dirty flashed since 1.7 and always with no issues

missed 2 calls last night; wife tried to call me (we sometimes use the phone as a intercom) and said it went straight to voice mail; when i tried to call her back, the phone sat at "dialing" but call never went through. Was on wifi, so turned that off and same outcome. rebooted, and all was well.

first time it has happened, and as there was a new build, i flashed it. but hadn't seen this reported, and thought i would let you know; otherwise, ROM has, as always, been running great! My quadrant scores... uhm, never mind, not going to start that one again! LOL! :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jdella681:
Just got my first reboot with r72. Dirty install coming from r71. Same thing happened on that one but after that one reset everything went fine. Gonna try this for a day and see what happens. Other than that no other issues or lag. Running smartass governor too. Might use on demand if the phone resets again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] klittle81:
I am seeing this as well.. Tried both lagfree and on demand. tried a clean flash too and same thing. I ran a few cpu benchmark apps and my cpu util shows 0 cpu time on CPU1..

EDIT: After rebooting my phone, CPU1 shows activity for about 5 minutes then it goes to sleep again. Running benchmark apps, playing videos or games does nothing to wake it up. I have to reboot to see activity again for another 5 minutes. On my Nexus, it shows CPU activity on both cores most all the time.

Ringtones go in /system/media/audio/ringtones/ if you want them to show up with the system ringtones, /mnt/sdcard/Ringtones/ if you want them on your internal sdcard, or /mnt/extSdCard/media/audio/ringtones/ if you want them on your external sdcard.

Personally, I like putting them on the internal sdcard. If you put them in the system folder, they may get wiped out when flashing ROMs plus access requires root. If you put them on the external sdcard they are easy to move from phone to phone, but if you take out your sdcard any ringtones/notifications set to a file on it get reset to silent.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jcurley:
You can just set up a ringtones or notification folder in the root of the extcard. it will read just fine.

Just installed the rom, everything is working great. one problem though, my stock messaging app freezes up a lot and i'm forced to force close. also some of my messages the loading icon does not go away. i have to delete the text and then resend it. is there a fix for this ? thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xraytedjim:
I've been following the cpu offline on the latest r72 also and have been watching it. I noticed my cpu1 is offline also while just watching it (which I think is the point if nothing is going on) In system tuner, i quickly bring down the notification bar and put it back up to see if anything changes and i DO see that that cpu1 comes online briefly. This seems to be working as intended. I'm using ondemand/deadline.

Question though, I noticed a lot of ppl seem to be running cfq scheduler but I've read that the cfq is the worst? Is there something I'm missing and which one would be the best for our phones? (providing balance of performance and battery)

Q. "Best I/O Scheduler?"

A.There is nothing called "best" i/o scheduler. Depending on your usage environment and tasks/apps been run, use different schedulers. That's the best i can suggest.

However, considering the overall performance, battery, reliability and low latency, it is believed that

SIO > Noop > Deadline > VR > BFQ > CFQ, given all schedulers are tweaked and the storage used is a flash device.

Wifi Power Save Mode (Fix for Wifi dropouts)

For some of you that have been having wifi dropping issues, you can try the following to relieve that. This toggles the Wifi power saver mode. It may increase your battery by a tad, but having a stable wifi connection might be more important to you. My bro-in-law had the same problem and this fixed it for him:

1. Open up the Galaxy S3 phone dialer

2. Then dial *#0011#

3. Look for the “ServiceMode” screen and press the left menu button

4. Select “WiFi”

5. You should see that the “WiFi Power Save Mode” button is “ON” – now put it on “OFF”

6. Done! Just exit the menu, switch off your WiFi, then switch it back on again.

Hey E,

Not trying to be a pain in the ass or anything but it seems like I can't install your Rom. When I go to install it, it says it cant open update package and it also says "(bad)" under it. I've tried downloading it multiple times, using different recoveries and still nothing. Any ideas?

I think it might have to do with the site. Because I remember I tried to install a Synergy theme from that same site and it said the same thing.

I occasionally get that. In your notification bar click on the "connected as a media device - touch for other USB options" and make sure MTP is checked.
