It's fine :) I think that's probably what set everybody off on the "is it Synergy's fault or not" debate, but you've probably noticed it's pretty tough to piss ME off :D

Let me know what your buddies say if they get a chance to replicate the route as I'd really like to look into this more if it only occurs on Synergy. Not sure how it would though as we only use stock GPS files, but I'll look into it anyway if need be :good:

Does this ROM have the hotspot active or do you have to use a third party app?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] WizeGuyDezignz:
Esch, I have a couple of questions for you.

1. How hard would it be, or would it be possible to theme the stock SMS app to have different color bubbles? I know in the settings they offer other colors, but most of them stink lol. I hate to bring up another ROM, but Beans has a themed stock SMS app and the colors are great. I guess I can always just drop that file in system apps on your ROM, but I wanted to ask first.

2. Since I am a fan of the stock SMS app, my final question also relates to it. It seems like this app is one of the rare ones on the phone where it's laggy. As in when you are done sending a text and you use the back arrow to back all the way out of it. It often hangs for a second or two and doesn't back out smoothly. Is there anything that can be done to smooth that out, or is it just the way it will always be?

You obviously know a ton more than me about this stuff, so I just wanted to throw those couple of questions out there. If there isn't anything you can do or didn't want to spend the time on it, it's totally fine. I think the work you have done up to this point is nothing short of extraordinary. Keep up the good work!

Hey sorry if this has been answered but I've read and searched and can't find any info. Im trying to send my wife a video but I can only get about 20 (1195 KBS) seconds of recording is there a way to increase the max size or remove its limits completely? Thanks and love the ROM!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Metfanant:
:good: :good:

does it seem to happen when you're in a "conversation" that has a lot of messages??...there is probably a reason why the app defaults to deleting old messages at 200....i always turn that off...and i don't really have very many issues with the app lagging...but i can see that being a problem...

ive also noticed on most of my phones that if you back out while the phone is actually in the process of SENDING the text that you can get some lag...but ive noticed this on all my Android phones and not just this one...it was worse on stock than Synergy...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eschelon:
Well we're glad you're ok :)

1) Shouldn't be too hard to do

2) Samsung SMS apps have unfortunately always suffered from some lag. Just curious, do you have a ton of text messages? Are you restoring them after flashes?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] vaffanculo403:
BOOOO! I don't like WIFI Tether. It seems to restart the connection a lot in my experience. I like using the native tethering apps like the one in CM...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] epagib:
I think E did tweak GPS in the earlier release (before night lies), but some peeps were having problems. Since then GPS has been back to stock - definitely as of the night lies.

E has mentioned in a past most that if you're having GPS issues, then should do a clean install (complete wipe)

Hope this helps.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] WizeGuyDezignz:
1) Awesome! Did you want me to post a screen shot of what it looks like?

2) Oh, interesting to hear. I have that setting where it only allows 200 SMS and 20 MMS per conversation, but I have a lot of conversations lol. I have around 2,300 total messages currently, so maybe that's my problem? And yes, I do restore my texts after a fresh flash. I'm assuming that might be a lot of my problem? Going back to Samsung SMS apps having lag, do you happen to know what the cause is?

Thanks for all of the help!

---------- Post added at 11:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:03 AM ----------

I honestly didn't really compare noop to cfq but I was reading that noop is a pretty good combo with smartass. I will give cfq a shot and see what happens.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eschelon:
Sure, post one :)

And yes, that many messages will definitely slow you down. Get rid of them and watch the app speed up to normal again
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 1ManWolfePack:
Very professional response.

And Google Maps is notorious (at least with me) for being wrong. It's almost comical the end points it gives me sometimes.

Definitely not a ROM issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] s197:
Open up Titanium, hit menu, then hit create update zip. This will create a flashable zip that you flash in recovery after installing the ROM. That will install the most recent TB. Then when your phone boots, don't log into your accounts, just skip all the activation stuff, go to TB and restore all your apps.

I think that should solve your old version issue.

Never tried the WiFi fix, but that still doesn't explain the zero bars vs half full on Beans :(. When I flash Synergy I never change the kernel or any thing, so I can't imagine it would be the kernel? Should I try another? I have no computer ATM so a Modem change is a no go ATM.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Sccrluk9:
Synergy includes a kernel so while you dont manually do one a kernel is getting flashed.

Edit: Read that a little wrong. Are you talking about flashing a kernel other than the one included in Synergy?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Sniper_5:
correct, I've never flashed an alternate kernel. Beans uses lean kernel, synergy uses Ziggy's. I'd try lean on synergy, but wont that drop some features?

Re: Titanium backup and maps. Titanium and maps auto update so there really is no need to create a flashable zip as I see it. I was merely curious if the latest versions can be included rather than having to do the update after each flash. I've been having wakelock issues with maps and was hoping to isolate them to either an update or something else. Titanium is a version old but also not a biggie. That should be the biggest problem with a rom.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jcurley:
Make sure who ever you have testing it, is using the same version of maps and navigation. One version may be different from another. I know we just got an update a couple weeks back. Which could answer why it was fine on stock and not now. Since you went to synergy, the app had an update.

Anytime I read how people are happy with SmartassV2 i give it another try and i always get CPU1 going offline and staying offline. Thought that the 747 kernel might yield results different than Ziggys with Smartass but it doesn't. Those who are saying it's working great are you confirming you have both CPU's active under load? If so what are you using to determine that? I'm using System Tuner to determine activity and times.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Neverendingxsin:
Use EZ Recovery from the market to flash recovery and then you can reboot into recovery within that application.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jurassitol:
If you are on Synergy Rom, it's the bottom of the four restart options. If the phone is off, hold vol+, home button and power button simultaneously and don't let go until the second Samsung screen. It is referred to as recovery and not safe mode.

If you haven't loaded a custom recovery (most use Clockwork Mod - CWM 6.0.1.2 or TWRP 2.2.2.0), use EZ-Recovery as described in the post above. ROM Manager is also available in the Play Store and allows you to load CWM as well as reboot into recovery.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nguyenvn:
Why not make the default to 1.5 Ghz instead? Seems like these random reboots are from the default OC at 1.9, Making the default at 1.5 would be more stable. Anyone who wants to OC can do it afterwards. I've ran into this problem myself and had to bring it back to 1.5. Just my 2 cents...

In System Tuner CPU setting:

- click the button to the right of the governor you've chosen = "Boot setting". The button is small and the word setting is partially covered.

- click "re-apply CPU setting" and choose "on boot complete"

You can reboot to double check. Your settings should stick on boot now.

For everyone with random reboots, would you re-flash after a FULL wipe. And if you use Titanium after flash, just reinstall your apps (and NOT system data).
