Does anyone have an APK for AOSP ICS messaging app that'll work with this? I've been looking for one, tried several but they won't install. I know someone posted one in this thread but all the text is blue and it won't send MMS.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sinman02:
Thanks for the excellent rom. This is by far the best phone and rom I've ever had.

Is there a way to make long pressing the back key close the current app? It's the one feature I miss most about running CyanogenMod on my previous phone.

+1 on adding dates to updates. Love this rom. Are all updates gonna require wipe or can we do dirty over the previous version?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NotATreoFan:
I restarted my phone using the power button and then selecting Restart -> Reboot, and my phone locked up after the screen went black. The LED stayed blue, but I had to battery pull to get it booted back up.

Can anyone else verify this on 1.2?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bigee1212:
I was using stock for a week and then I used root66 with ODIN. No wipe. Then I installed recovery and installed synergy1.1 no wipe. I installed 1.2 no wipe.... all seems fine.. are you sure i really needed to wipe? I just wiped cache and dalvik. Installing your .zip formats system so its just data that im not wiping and using an app like titanium backup would just restore whats there anyway right?? let me know if im missing something here.

also if it turns out i do need to wipe, can anyone verify if the internal sd card gets wiped? Obv the external one doesnt but Ive heard different answers and I dont want to lose my download and DCIM folders. Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ChadHughes:
You dont lose download and dcim when wiping with clockwork. and you should really wipe!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cortland1998:
I also had this happen... had to do a battery pull. I was never able to get it running

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bigee1212:
But really... nothing is wrong with my phone right now!! Wiping was such a chore with my old phones. And with the heavy development going on right now, I'm trying to avoid wiping just because we'll have to end up doing it so often..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eschelon:
The wiping requirement was due to the fact that many people were still on v1.0 and we made a lot of framework and system changes between v1.1 and v1.2

We're nice; we won't make you wipe every time, just at times when we think you might get into trouble. v1.2 was one of those times :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jb_alphamale:

Yes, however a lot of devs who do "nightlies" will do them in a way so that dirty flashing is possible usually. Doing clean wipe is one thing but a clean wipe every night is another. But like I say, its up to the dev....

Thread

Maybe is asking to much or maybe i miss the point of this LONG thread but....

Why isnt there a thread for each new build so that we can keep up with the issues

I loaded 1.7 on Sunday and have been reading all 350+ pages and find that most of the things have been fixed as the builds progress.

So i decided to read from the bottom up then that is even more confusing.

Just IMO... what does everyone else think?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] im_on_fire:
Titanium Backup! Restores all your apps and their data.

And with the pro version it restores quicker and you can also back up SMS/MMS, wifi, call logs, and bookmarks. Makes wiping and flashing not painful.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] FormeriPhoney:

Nightly build

It my not bet 100% official yet

it shows up as nightly build after install
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] clambert11:
Keep in mind, these "nightlies" are not the next version. This isn't version 1.8. There isn't a next revision for each release now. These are the daily builds leading up to the next revision. It's good for the dev because the final revision builds will be more stable because us nightly users will be exposed to a lot more bugs. Just be aware if you start using the nightlies, you'll also be using a more beta build.

It would be nice if we had an official place to report bugs though. I'm not sure how the hell he keeps up with this thread and work on the ROM. :D

Hearing people talking about IMEI problems when they flash roms :(

The IMEI issues seem to be limited to the AOSP roms (CM9/CM10).

None. Just back up your imei

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] im_on_fire:
From OP himself:

"""

Before people start freaking out I'm going to jump in here and state that you WILL NOT lose you IMEI by flashing a stock-based ROM (like Synergy). This is only occurring on AOSP-based ROMs like Cyanogen and AOKP.

Still good policy to back it up though

Just wanted to chime in and say I'm also experiencing gsiff_daemon battery drain which is causing my Android System to have significantly higher battery drain. It seems to have popped out of nowhere. I did turn on G Now but have turned it off and rebooted since....thoughts?

**EDIT: Did some more searching and finally found the issue. It is GPS related and is on all versions of S3, regardless of ROM. It lingers after the GPS has been enabled and then disabled, so effectively if you enable your GPS you need to then disable and reboot to kill the GSIFF_DAEMON process. Deleting it causes a less accurate GPS lock - this is all speculation but doing the previous steps killed the process for me but it appears it doesn't work for some. Here is the meat of the thread explaining everything (following page somone explains that it doesn't kill it for them):

I wouldn't take any bets on that. I was on 1.6 and Imoseyon's leanKernel. Something took out my IMEI. I suspect Imoseyon's Kernel or maybe something in CWM v6.0.1.0.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] d1ez3:
that's pretty scary
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chakra:
did you load IMos AOSP kernel an dnot his TW kernel? that could cause such an issue
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cortland1998:
Not true. I lost my IMEI and this was the only ROM I was flashing. It may not have been the ROM specifically, maybe something to do with recovery mode or corrupt files from the download. It IS possible though. I personally had it happen, and just want to make sure people are aware of it happening on TW.

Edit: I was not using any kernels either.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] salas2324:
i must be lucky. ive flashed every rom and kernel available and not once lost imei
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] biff6789:
I too am curious to know if it was caused by a corrupt backup on your end. Or if never versions of CWM recovery are causing problems. Because as far as I know nobody has lost their IMEI by doing nothing more than wiping data and then flashing a stock rom / stock kernel. Only saw issues if people were playing with kernels or restoring backups.

So to hear about your IMEI through buddy. Hope you got it fixed!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eschelon:
SynergyROM for the Verizon Galaxy S3 has moved to nightly status :D

What does this mean to you: Our entire SynergyROM lives on our svn host and we can make changes to it (called commits) any time we want. Each of these commits (whether it be the addition of a new feature, a bug fix, a new theme, etc) will have a revision number. These revisions can basically be though of as our changelog and can be found here:

http://svn.androidfilehost.com/projects/synergy-siii-vzw/activity

We ran v1.7 in parallel with our svn server and so v1.7 included everything up through r13 on the svn changelog. This means that the nightly that I dropped last night includes revisions 14 through 20 so all you need to do is look at r14 through r20 to see what was added since the latest build. Some days there may 15 commits, while other days may see zero.

Each night our buildbox will automatically pack up all the new revisions we made that day and then automatically create a ROM and then optimize it before automatically uploading to our server. The build name will include the date and revision number that it includes, as well as a -s or -u for "signed" or "unsigned". So for example, the latest build you see in there today includes all revisions up through r20. You will not be able to clone our repo at this time.

Nightlies created by the buildbox will be found here each night:

http://www.androidfilehost.com/main/Team_Synergy/Galaxy_S3/Verizon/Buildbox/

Also, starting with r20 we have included a new battery script that you can run to help pin down battery issues. Here are the steps you must follow in order to make the battery stats dump work properly

1) Charge device to 100%. Reboot device while leaving on charger. Once device is in Android and settled down unplug device

2) DO NOT touch your charger throughout the day until the battery is completely dead. Battery stats are reset on unplug of any type of charger (this includes plugging into your computer via USB) so you will muck things up. Once you are at ~5% power continue on to next steps

3) Go to Settings -> Power -> Battery Use and take a screenshot

4) Plug into USB on machine on which you have ADB (careful not to unplug) and run: adb shell su -c synergybatteryreport *OR* without plugging into USB and using ADB - In terminal emulator run: su synergybatteryreport

5) Pull the battery report using root explorer or ADB tools (the file lives in /data/local/tmp/synergybattery.log) and upload to pastebin. Paste pastebin link + screenshot from step 2 here

6) if you used ADB method before you unplug from USB make sure you have a valid report file with text in it, otherwise once you unplug you will need to start over from step 1
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lazarus2405:
Could you elaborate on the difference between those, signed and unsigned builds? Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cdma:
So you have to do this each time you connect? That sucks. Maybe can figure out a way for tasker to do this for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eschelon:
Android uses certificates to identify the author of an APK, rom.zip, flashable zip, etc which is also used to establish a trust relationship between system apps.

Some recoveries allow for flashing of unsigned images, but our buildbox will always automatically sign. I only mentioned it so that you know what the -s stood for :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mapatton82:
I flashed the r20 nightly but when I go into About Device the build number shows "SynergyROM Nightly (rXXX)", if anyone else getting this too?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eschelon:
That's not a problem and will only happen to today's build :)

We're working on a script that will automatically change that each night so match the revision number so that we won't have to manually change it every day. That XXX string is used by our script
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pschatz12:
Just went to the gym and worked out for an hour while listening to pandora and my battery dropped pretty significantly I think. I took a screen shot.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cortland1998:
Thanks man. I have a new phone overnighted, should see it here in a couple hours :)

I agree with what you're saying. I had this happen while using recovery. The actual flash of the ROM didn't cause anything. It was when I went into recovery, to restore a backup. Something happened and when the phone booted up, no signal bars :( After some research I discovered the lost IMEI posts.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jay Evans:
And my problem was that since I'm on WiFi so much between work and home I'm not sure exactly when or what happened to cause the problem. I was able to re-inject my IMEI and get phone/data service back but I'm stuck on Roaming now. :(

Waiting to see if somebody comes up with a roaming fix for Verizon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Lurntospel:
Just to be clear.. to flash the nightlies, we only need to clear cache and dalvik, correct?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] im_on_fire:
Can you put the changelog link in the OP? It will make it easier to find in the future!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] codyvance:
Did you not read the post by eschelon?? Before you complain about battery, do a dump of stats first!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eschelon:
It's there. Look in the 'Changelog' section :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] im_on_fire:
That's a link to the buildbox...?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pschatz12:
Can you post link?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eschelon:
No, it's a link to the changelog "commits" list so that you can track which changes we make to the ROM each day. The svn (the actual ROM files) lives in the cloud. The buildbox itself is an actual linux server that is located in ziggy's basement that is scripted to pack up the repo, optimize it, and then upload it automatically each night.

Every commit you see added in the svn changelog each day will be cooked into that night's nightly
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] im_on_fire:
I guess I'm confused

the changelog section has this:

"Moved to nightly status. Changelog can be found here: http://www.androidfilehost.com/main/Team_Synergy/Galaxy_S3/Verizon/Buildbox/"

but I thought the actual change log was this: http://svn.androidfilehost.com/projects/synergy-siii-vzw/activity
