I get balls to the walls on wifi. Only things that affect it is kernel/ wifi module match and router. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pkd600:
I had major Wi-Fi connectivity problems with an old, cheap Netgear router. As soon as I upgraded that to a newer D-Link, all of my problems went away.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] speedingcheetah:
Wifi fix? Nothing wrong with wifi here....I only use 5ghz wifi...but it works fine

(now..my cheap knock of tablet...on the other hand....refuses to leave wifi on while the screen is off...even though it is set correctly.)

depends on your router and what channel u use and how crowded the area is around u...

the 2.4ghz band is useless at my apartment...over 30 networks in 2.4ghz in range..only 1 other 5ghz one...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JoeDat:
Nothing but a terrible signal on 2.4ghz routers. 5ghz is fine. Its consistent and happens across multiple routers in different locations for me.

I'm literally sitting right next to my old wrt54g and I'm only about 25% signal strength. Yeah I need to upgrade it, but that doesn't change the fact that I shouldn't have a problem connecting to it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Phone software not gonna fix it. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JoeDat:
I kinda figured as much... :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] WindowsSucks:
I would cut the phone off for about 10 min. Then turn back on. If the signal improves then goes back down its your phones radio

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sflorey:
So my next question which prolly should have been my first, what would be considered hot for temp and normal operating temp. Im averaging about 90F/34C. It just seems high but I guess ive never really paid attention either. I did the wipes and have battery stats installed monitoring now as recommended aand seems to be fine now just want to know what im looking for. Thanks again. And I dont know about the rest of you but the silence from esch is making me nervous and excited.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JkdJedi:
Long time since I flashed...we still need gapps or is this in the rom now?:D

Ok..flashing this ByyTChhh!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] doodlebro:
It's in the ROM. You choose what to install in Aroma when you flash.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jihoonie:
Only aosp roms needs separate gapp package. This and other touchwiz roms have google apps packaged into the rom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] brennanb:
Guess synergy bit the dust it was fun while it lasted
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Mystikalrush:
What happened here? :crying:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ylexot:
Some people assume that development is dead if nothing happens for a few weeks. This thread is full of statements like that. Unless Esch or Trev come on here and say they are done, I wouldn't listen.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] speedingcheetah:
Many folks reporting that the new firmware update .zip, (which has the new modem, rpm..boot chain....etc) is breaking things, particularly the camera.

Waiting to hear from other users on this rom if this rom is affected.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Aquila76:
Yeah, it looks like this is happening across most ROMs (both TW & AOSP), except rooted stock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
From what I can see you have to update all firmware or none. MD3 and other firmware not compatible. This reinforces my theory that there is more in the full firmware than we know. I always update to the full firmware. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bobcaruso:
100% Agree! I suspect there's a need for a kernel update as well with MD3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Yea. Been laughing since I got up. They crying all over XDA and Rootz. Guess I'll OTA today and reroot to see what we got. I have full MD1 and Mr Robinson has Route66 up for it if there is a problem. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bobcaruso:
Let's see how long it takes samsung to post the kernel source
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] im_on_fire:
What is your whole process to do this?

Flash stock, lock boot loader, ota, root and unlock, reflash synergy?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Yea but wouldn't do yet if want to run Synergy or other custom rom.. Have to use stock MD3 kernel for cameras to work. Will lose wifi and exfat support. Looking for wifi module now. As Bob said we need kernel source or patch. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Addiso:
It will only work if you run note 2 camera right?

Because I have flashed the aio and have had not one problem. :good: I didn't take the ota or anything.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
No camera including new camera worked till I flashed stock MB3 kernel. No exfat and no wifi. Looking for wifi module as we speak. I'm on full MB3 firmware. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Metfanant:
camera works perfectly fine after flashing invisiblek's AIO firmware updater...

im on r484 running the latest KT747 kernel and all is good...no need for stock kernel here...

ive never taken an OTA with this phone...flashed the AIO firmware updater last night and it works just fine...Synergy r484 w/KT747 (5/29 build, but also worked on previous build)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] odmejia:
Where is the speed tweak? I came from Hyperdrive for the tweaked speed for 4G and honestly not a big difference, its actually pretty slow. I am on r484, VRBMB1, Ziggy Kernel. I remember back a while back I used Synergy before and it was hitting over 1M, right now not even close to over a 1M.

NEVERMIND, now thats what I am talking about, almost 3mps down, but up almost 1 mps lol wierd.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Addiso:
I'm starting to think there isn't a problem because Ktoonsez kernel is on sprints base. And that's the md4 that's why our cameras still work
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Very possible. Will flash to verify. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Metfanant:
could be the ticket right there...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Addiso:
Let me know the results :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Thats what it is. KT kernel has all the libs also so can add to stock MB3 kernel and it will fully work except for exFat also. :good::cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dudeSDCA:
Are Esch and TrevE still active? Seems they haven't posted in over a month...

Saw Verizon released a new build... not sure if they were going to dissect it and determine if there was anything worth porting.

Thoughts?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Addiso:
repackaged the mb1 kernel with certain md4 libs is that all that needs to be done?

https://www.dropbox.com/s/ybl1i3ulmv07735/VRBMB1bootanim.zip
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Tried merging libs from KT to MB3 stock. Still no wifi. Guess we stuck with KT till something else comes along. May be others out there based on Sprint that work. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jlmr731:
Just wanted to update with the newest firmware.

Running r484, flashed firmware and rebooted camera didnt work but wifi worked fine, this is on lean kernel from imoseyon

Flashed ktoonsez latest and camera and wifi works

haven't tried ziggys his kernel does not play nice with my phone, so for now flash ktoonsez kernel with the newest firmware and all should be good dont forget to clear cache and dalvik after flashing
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Ziggy's don't work. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jlmr731:
yea in more ways than one for me :(

So looks like ktoonsez has some libs built in to make it work
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] speedingcheetah:
lol...forms full of folks with borked cams...updates arent always a better thing...lol

Guess i am sticking with this current rom as it is....untill the bugs get worked out and if its even anything in the new update that we don't already have...so far...not impressed.

Curious to see how my folks s3 takes the ota update....they hate it when thier phone changes things by itself
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
I'll just use KT with it till something else pops up. I need to be updated while we build MD3 roms. ;):cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] speedingcheetah:
KT?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Kt-747 kernel. Everything works except exFat. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] speedingcheetah:
so confusing....too many versions of this and that...some saying that firmware aio is sprint based, not verizon ....

its still early....MB1 and current version of this rom is rock solid....no problem waiting around for an update to the whole rom and see how tha tgoes for others before I update...

Though, I am quite curious as to what is so different in the new firmware and new features that Synergy rom already did, (and may have done better)....makes me wonder if there is something....more...to this update than meets the eye (big red is watching u...lol)

Edit: I have flashed many a modem/radio to my phones...and not once has it borked anything.....a modem is rom independent....its all the other bundled stuff that is causing issues...but i don't see just the new modem alone anywhere.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Don't know cause I rooted OTA and had kernel already. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
This explains why I haven't had any camera issues since I took the OTA and eventually switched back to Beans rom. Pretty damn fine detective work fellas!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Here is the fix for those that want to update to MD3 Modems and RPM. It is the TZ file that is breaking it. This zip has MD3 modems and RPM with MB1 TZ. Ziggy and camera's back on line. Hoo-rah. ;):cool:

Also...ohai prdog1 :)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Can do at same time but que the firmware first so Aroma don't kick you straight to boot. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] M_T_M:
So...of that some one is on 4.1.1 and wants to flash this ROM....your link first then ROM? :confused:;)

******************

LA CALACA...TILICA Y FLACA!! :eek:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
This is only if you want to update to MD3 modem and RPM and it work with pre MD3 roms and kernels. If on MB1 4.1.1 firmware don't need anything just flash the rom. Only have to flash file once and it will run MB! and MD3 roms until we find something in background that MB1 TZ affects MD3. So far we haven't found anything. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] M_T_M:
So flashing the link you posted whilst on 4.1.1 won't break my....err..that person's phone? :confused:

******************

Nope just give you latest Modems and RPM. If don't like Modems can flash package from MB1 back from link in forums. :cool:

A link to the correct MB1 package would be great...i am so lost among all these forms...

Also, the modified zip file linked to a few posts back...that doesn't flash the new kernal does it?

Edit: I was wondering....are you supposed to wipe anything when flashing these aio modem zips....i never have...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
No. It just MD3 modems and RPM with MB1 TZ. All other stock packages can be linked from here. :cool:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] speedingcheetah:
so i flashed the modded modem zip....ran speed test before and after...i see an improvement...but those speed tests vary due to network conditions etc....

bottom one listed is me on MB1, top one MD3.

everything else seems fine
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bobcaruso:
Simple,

it used to be , these flashes were just radio, then radio and rpm, now multiple firmware components, that's how it should be, but kernels need to be modified for new firmware

call record and memory usage

I was just wondering if there was a way to record call with this rom....i saw such a feature....somewhere.....maybe on another rom..

Also, I am noticing high memory usage....ram stays above 1gb most of the time...is this normal.?,,, I can clear ram and it says closed 78 apps...and used ram go down to around 800mb...but goes back up to above 1gb in a few minutes.

I more thing....anyway to change the default screenshot location...it saves them to the internal memory, not the sd card. I would like to have it set to dumb screenshots in the same folder that the camera stores photos in....so that the screenshots get auto uploaded to my Dropbox and I have them off the phone....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
#1- Skvalex Call Recorder. We had native on S3 when it first came out but Samsung stripped all the framework out due to legal liabilities. $10 but he usually has ongoing test Beta's. Works great on S3. Been using since TBolt when it was $5. lol

#2- I am using 580 ram on Stock with only root explorer. Make sure you back out of apps or use the menu to kill. Do not quit app with home button. It leaves open for Multi task and rapes the battery.

#3- Seen that question before. We used to mod it on HTC but I never saw and answer on S3. Gotta be a way but it is probably deep code because of the way they have buttons and motion tied into framework for multiple screenshot options. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] schneid:
I am MB1 TW stock kernel with Synergy 484. Will flashing the MD3 AIO bork my phone or is that just ones on Ziggy? Specifically, will camera, WiFi and extFAT still work? If not, will flashing a Zip w/o MD3 let everything work? Or, should I take a chill pill and stay with my perfect MB1/484 setup?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
If it works you good. Depends what kernel you use. I posted the modded AIO to make ziggy and any kernel work same way it did before. If want to try new Modems flash it. If everything not what you want flash back the MB1 AIO. It is a couple pages back. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] schneid:
Thanks. I meant to say the AIO w/o TZ. I read yours fixes camera but does it also fix the WiFi extFAT issues some have? I have a 64gb SD Card so extFAT I imagine is a must.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Fixes everything on Ziggy. Don't know if Synergy stock does exFat or not. Real stock kernel only does exFat on stock. Has to sig match. Whatever you were using will work with that zip. Will have same but get to try the new modems. :cool:

I just looked into these. all of the free ones that I looked at offer 3 prints a month or something and require a "KEY" for unlimited. this costs between $1.99 and $12. It would be nice if the stock one that is baked into the rom would work for more than only "Samsung" printers. this is just a request and I don't expect Echelon to anything about it. I am just throwing it out there and hoping.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] baudi11:
Yes. Get an app called A2DP Volume, It's the only one that works with our phone.

If you have Tasker, there's also a plugin available from the same author. You can get that here.

Is there a way to force fast usb charge on this rom? I've done it before on it, but I think that was with Imo's kernel and I don't know if it's a kernel dependant feature.

I can confirm that, that is Imos kernel. I used it a few times at work. Never tried it on stock but I think that is a kernel feature.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] teknomar7:
Love the ROM so far. With all the people on this forum requesting one thing while someone else likes the other, you guys should totally get an Aroma installer going. It would probably cut down the requests on this thread big time.
