[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Mrreg:
I have a problem using wifi direct on this rom. My wife and I used to use wifi direct often to exchange files, but when I first installed Synergy in March, I couldn't get it to work. Now, a couple releases (and many full wipes and reinstalls for a variety of reasons) later, I still can't get it to work. If I go to the wifi settings and choose "wifi direct" at the bottom, it takes me to the wifi direct page, but instead of scanning for devices, it says "Enable Wi-Fi Direct to set up peer-to-peer connectivity." Similarly, if I choose a file to share and select share by wifi direct, it takes me to the wifi direct screen, but doesn't scan for devices. In both cases the "scan" and "multi-connect" buttons are greyed out.

I can't find any setting that would seem to toggle whether or not wifi direct is enabled. Is this a kernel problem? The first time I encountered it, I was using ziggy's, but now I am using KT747. I've been considering going back to stock or trying out some other kernels since I only flashed KT747 to fix the camera when I was playing with the recent ill-fated firmware update. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Posted in wrong forum sorry guys

A year with things going great, and then within 24 hours my phone took a dump!

It started with my phone no longer recognizing being connected to a computer. I did some research, and discovered that resetting permissions through Synergy's Aroma Installer might help. Sure enough, it did. But then I somehow lost root access in the process! So, I tried to reroot using the method for JB, and all of the sudden my flash counter is tripped and I cannot boot into my ROM. Clearly the process locked my bootloader again. Sure enough, I now have a flash counter tripped and cannot boot into any OS. Download mode only. I have tried flashing a completely stock image in ODIN (WALF2), only to have my phone stuck at the 4G LTE boot animation. It appears as though I am at a dead end with my experience. Any suggestions for how to fix things?

Edit: Flashing a full wipe, pre-rooted image seems to have fixed my issue. Now I just need to find a way to unlock the bootloader for a 4.1.2 ROM. Does this qualify? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2046439

I have complained about this for months, always falls on deaf ears with no replies.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Mrreg:
Thanks. At least now I know it's not just me. I wasn't sure if I was just missing something. I dearly love Synergy, but I may have to try some other roms. Do you know of others on which wifi direct works?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ylexot:
I used Wi-Fi direct a few weeks ago and it worked fine, but I used s beam to set it up. I'm on the stock kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Aquila76:
I realize this is too late, but after flashing a stock ROM through ODIN, you need to immediately boot into stock recovery (Vol up + Home + Power) and do a cache wipe and factory reset. I'm not completely sure why, but if you don't the phone will just hang on the VZW 4G LTE animation.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Weioo:
Giving stock kernel a try then...I flashed to r484, flashed RIT theme for the first time and realized I didn't want some of the items I chose, so flashed back to r484, reflashed RIT theme for just a few thigns I wanted, and now I'm having a TON of problems with screen freezing up as I'm typing out texts. It's becoming VERY annoying!!!

Going to flash stock kernel...This is becoming most frustrating. There gonna be a new revision out that simplifies things or something, by chance?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] stargate125645:
It's never too late to learn something new! Thanks! So the full wipe image flash negated the need to do a factory reset from recovery?

I used an image that came pre-rooted so I could reset the flash counter immediately and get rid of the annoying custom boot image from Samsung. I then went through the new rooting process with unlocking the bootloader all over again. It worked with the new ROM. Not sure how things got messed up, but it's all fixed now.

Yes, I have to have S-Beam enabled and run through that. Doing Wi-Fi direct only doesn't seem to work with this ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Aquila76:
Was the pre-rooted ROM Jelly Bean (BLK3 or higher)? I know with the ICS images (RLF1 and RLG1) images, the stock recovery wipe & reset is required, haven't tried the newer pre-rooted ones. I got the phone at launch and used the original CASUAL to root and unlock the phone when it was released. Beans has an updated CASUAL now that works with all the ROMs, ICS and JB, for the VZW S3. A lot easier to hit one button to do everything than using Odin and recovery several times with a large possibility of error somewhere in the process.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] speedingcheetah:
I had those issues when I selected the Ziggy kernel...went to stock and no issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] stargate125645:
The preprinted was 4.1.2. The stock factory that didn't work was ICS.

How to restore to stock ROM after Synergy?

I apologize as I am sure this was covered but any combination of restore, stock, rom finds very many posts in this thread. Anyway..

Hey I love Synergy but am selling GS3 (Verizon) and moving to the HTC One (AT&T). I want to flash my SG3 back to stock. I am running a Mac so no ODIN capability. Any suggestions on how best to do this without bricking the phone?

Does it use more battery to have s-Beam and NFC enabled?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Madness_logic:
can I install this rom in my galaxy i747? and I﻿ need some kernel? and what are the knowing issues of the Rom ? thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] STLRamsFan1k:
When I needed to go back to stock, I used mobile Odin with a stock flash file. Did the trick for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lmendoza23:
When I installed the latest my camera stopped working
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Sounds like you updated your firmware or a bad flash. If firmware is MD3 or MD4 got to firmware thread and flash MB1 Firmware. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lmendoza23:
How do I know my firmware?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Settings/about phone/baseband/last 3 letters and numbers. If phone new or you took latest 2 updates it will break camera on all older roms. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lmendoza23:
So where do I find the firmware that I need
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Biker1:
About device.

Nevermind.

That answer was for the other poster ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Here. Click 2nd link for all firmware. The quote about kernel is wrong. It is actually the TZ file that breaks it on older roms. Kernel breaks wifi. Stay on MB1 till you know what you are doing and can flash any rom. :cool:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=29134924&postcount=1
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lmendoza23:
Thanks! So i just flash it in recovery?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Yes. Can get newer modem later but need to get back to MB1 TZ so stuff don't break. If want newer Modem back flash this after that. Reboot in between. Then can run any rom with newest radio. If see fails in recovery script ignore them. You will end up with new Modem/rpm and old TZ file. :cool:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lmendoza23:
Thanks you were really helpful!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mbonamassa:
Any chance you know where I can get a stock ROM to flash?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] haza12d:
I'm currently on LK3. So if I want newest modem/rpm I can flash MF1 firmware, reboot, then flash MF1 Modem and Bootchain with MB1 TZ (provided in the links above) and I should be ok? Running r484 w/stock kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Just flash the MF1 with MB1. No need to flash both. :cool:

Not sure what causes it but if you access 4square through the widget then go into the app immediately after it will work. This appears to be SOP while on this ROM

So I've installed r484 with stock kernel as I get far fewer problems than with ziggy kernel. Now I'm having issues having ANYTHING connect to EITHER WiFi or 4g data. I cannot connect my radio streaming app, PC remote control app, chrome, etc. Texts send find... So now what's my problem? lol

Is ziggy still around and working on his GS3 kernel or is he done? It seems to have fallen by the wayside and so many people have so many issues lately.

Is esch done with Synergy for GS3? He stated otherwise, but like... 30 pages ago, and I haven't seen him post since.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jihoonie:

so , this rom will work with no problems?, And i need to install the rom in the recovery menu? i don't need to change the kernel or do something else? and the HDMI port will Work? thanks and sorry for the bothers
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Wired0980:
Don't know if it's been asked but, the ink effect on lockscreen is there any way to keep the color from bleeding into whole screen? Would it probably take some framework editing?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
No one has been able to do it. It is a port and don't belong on phone. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jihoonie:
Flash in recovery. Not sure about HDMI i dont use it. Kernel comes in the rom, as it does in every rom but I'm not sure which ones synergy has. Haven't run this rom in a while. If you updated to the latest firmware (MF1) you'll have to flash an mb1 kernel or one of the custom kernels with the latest cm10.1 merges. Otherwise you should be fine to flash in recovery as you normally do
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Bud, you're mistaken. CM10.1 is AOSP and all of the TW kernels get source from Samsung not AOSP. CM merges have no bearing on TW kernels. For example, KT747 pulled source from Sprint's 4.1.2 OTA which is why it has been confirmed to work on our VRBMD3/VRBMF1 OTAs. TW LeanKernel 3.0 was updated with VRBMD3/VRBMF1 source code therefore it works as well.

For Synergy, if you're sticking with the full MF1 firmware you should use any custom TW kernel which has been updated with TW source from 4.1.2 or MD3/MF1.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jihoonie:
What he said. Thanks for clarifying. I read the invisiblek thread and saw the CM github and assumed it had something to do with the rom. I should've known better.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] petch777:
Does it work on international GS3 (i9300)?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Skeeter35:

I just don't get folks that ask in a forum for one specific device (S3 Verizon) if something will work on another device from another carrier...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:

No Deep Sleep

I just flashed the MF1 Modem and Bootchain with MB1 TZ and now my phone won't go into deep sleep. I'm running ZeroLemon extended battery. I used to get an easy 2 days with it, after flashing the package stated above, I was only able to get 17 hours. I haven't installed any new apps or changed any settings. System Battery monitor says Android OS running a CPU total of 1h 40m and Stay Awake for 10h 26m. I installed GSAM Battery Monitor and it displays the same amount of time for Kernel (Android OS). Any thoughts?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Addiso:
Doubt firmware has an effect on your os, it's just signal.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] speedingcheetah:
mmm...i notice in CPU Spy Plus...that governor is "performance"...and the only used states are 1512mhz and deep sleep....is that normal for this rom?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pelo88:
Smart rotation?

Been greyed out in display settings for as long as I can remember. Is anyone on r484 with working smart rotation?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] haza12d:
Do you have Auto-Rotation Enabled?

---------- Post added at 01:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:58 AM ----------

By signal, you mean signal strength? Because I have full bars on LTE at work and home.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
That's normal if governor set to performance. :cool:

---------- Post added at 09:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:14 AM ----------

Try wiping Dalvik and cache and reboot. Something is hung up. It is not the firmware. As stated before firmware only affects signal. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pelo88:
Wow I'm an idiot! I turned that on and poof the option was there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] haza12d:
I tried doing that. Also tried flashing Ziggy over stock kernel and still won't go into deep sleep. I finally tried doing a full wipe but still the same thing. I'll try doing a full wipe with stock kernel and see if that helps...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Domoo:
You could give ktoonsez kernel a shot. I'm getting great battery life with his kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] haza12d:
Happen to have a link handy to the latest one? :)

Never mind, found it!

Never mind, link is dead... haha
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Click the link in the KT747 OP that reads "Link to a list of Previous Builds." You'll find what you're looking for there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bobcaruso:
You guys still think we're gonna see an update for this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] speedingcheetah:
so...the default governor in this rom is performance...cause i never changed it since flashing rom....there arnt ant settings to do that...that i know of....

I just used Juice defender to change it.. to ondemand....it also lists a "msm-dcvs" and "userspace" as available governors....never heard of those before...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] speedingcheetah:
mmm...phone been stuck on 3g all day...tried rebooting....stilll on 3g....

I did install ASOP helper from Juice defender the other day....would have have broken 4g?

never-mind...went into settings, more setting. mobile networks, network mode, and nothing was checked...selected LTE/CDMA...and 4g is back...not sure how that got unchecked.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] s197:
On demand is the default.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] speedingcheetah:
wel..it wasn't for me....i never changed it or even installed an app to give me such info until yesterday..and it was set to performance...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Domoo:
Removed
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] speedingcheetah:
I am so confused....one app says performance governor is on...another says its using ondemand...either way...cpu never drops below 1ghz

Had to disable JD ASOP helper...it seemed to be be causing my phone to lock up during sleep...black screen...had to bat pull to wake up.

Trying no frills cpu tuner app to adjust cpu settings
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
System Tuner I know works and is accurate. :cool:

If wiping Dalvik and cache didn't fix you have a rogue app keeping it awake. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] STLRamsFan1k:
If it's staying awake, use wakelock to see what's keeping it from sleeping and use greenify to put it to sleep. Has definitely saved me hours of battery life since installing those.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rlreddy:
+1 on Greenify. I have one of those S3's that doesn't agree with Ziggy's kernel and have been happy with the stability of stock but sad with its battery life. I think I got 50% more battery with Ziggy but couldn't deal with the lockups and other small irregularities. I recently installed Greenify and my battery life is back to Ziggy-level while on stock - love it. Going to buy the updated version (although I don't need it) to show some support for the dev. Great app on a great ROM - killer combo!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 1toadfacedfrump:
Noob help please?

Hello. As stated above, I am basically a noob at this stuff. I have rooted before with OCW, but I have been wanting to do a custom rom for years now, and decided to take the plunge.

Please let me know if what I have done so far is the correct way to go about this please. I have rooted my S3 with the awesome CASUAL method by Adam Outler (thank you!!), have installed clockworkmod (thanks to a great video and text instructions at androidrootz.com) and did a backup of my rooted S3. I downloaded the Synergy rom and placed it on my sd card, along with the kernel z471-ATT-SGS3-JB-011513-0639, both unzipped (the kernel bit is confusing to me for some reason). According to androidrootz, I now need to enter clockwork and do a 'wipe data/factory reset', then 'wipe cache partition', then 'advanced', then 'wipe dalvik cache', then 'go back', then choose 'install zip from sd card', then 'choose zip from sd card', find rom and select and choose yes, then +++++Go Back+++++, then 'reboot system now' and don't touch phone for 15 minutes. Does that sound about right? I trust androidrootz, because without their expertise I would not be this afar along, but I know you guys and gals here are the best of the best, and just want to ease my mind a little.

Thank you for any help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] haza12d:
Wakelock Detector and GSAM Battery Monitor says that it's Android OS (Kernel) keeping it awake. I ended up flashing back to stock and installed Synergy after. Worked like a charm, phone goes into deep sleep again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Domoo:
You don't unzip the files. You flash them in your recovery as zip files.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 1toadfacedfrump:
Thank you, but I see I misspoke. I meant to type zipped. So basically I am right about the process, other than the unzipped bit? Does the flashing of the rom flash the kernel as well, or do I do that after the rom flash please? I have been checking out the noob flash/roms thread as well, and appreciate all the valuable time and advice offered.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] haza12d:
I guess my phone doesn't play well with MF1. I just flashed it again and now my phone won't go into deep sleep. I guess I'll see if I can go back to LK3 and see if that helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 1toadfacedfrump:
Nice!!

I must say, this was not nearly as painful as I thought it would be thanks to all the articles here on xda, androidrootz, and you the experts here on xda. I finished my first rom and everything appears to be working great, plus no att bloatware!!! Do I need to flash the kernel that was mentioned with the Synergy rom on the first page? Also, am I correct in assuming I can flash different kernels instead of just the one mentioned in the beginning? Also, can I try other roms now that I seem to gotten half way capable of doing this? Thank you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 1toadfacedfrump:
I have to say I love this rom!! Not only the extra features and removal of bloatware, but this has made my S3 much faster. I just flashed the kernel and it seems to have fixed a problem I was having with the stock rom as well as this Synergy rom, namely the lock screen not wanting to work consistently. For the time being since the kernel flash, it is working as it should. Strange how such a vital element of a smartphone such as the lock screen does not want to work correctly on this version of the galaxy series. I don't recall that problem with my S2. Great job guys and gals!!

---------- Post added at 06:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:47 PM ----------

Well, I spoke too soon, the lock screen is still not working consistently. Strange. If I didn't bank and pay bills, etc with my phone, I would not worry about this so much, but having a working lock screen is vital IMHO. I prefer the numeric pin, and it refuses to consistently work on this S3. Time to do some research and look for a work around or download a third party lock screen app from the Play store..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pelo88:
I don't think so. Which is a shame cuz they nearly figured out how to get the rom to support encryption. And when 4.2.2 comes out official and some S4 features are back ported in other S3 roms we simply won't have a Synergy version to turn to. I trust these devs with all their amazing work on privacy and skill in optimizing and enhancing multi window more than I do any other. Things like YouTube video pause when not looking at the phone, swipe over the front camera to answer a call and other S4 goodies really would be nice and there's nothing about the S3 that tells me it can't support such features.

All that said, there are always scripters and modders who will find some flushable zip or series of steps to take to enhance this rom to have some of those features. I already replaced the pop up browser with one that is resizable and opens to Chrome instead of the default browser. And I've had my fair share of kernels installed. I love leankernel. I use a script executed at boot by ROM Toolbox to set my preferred keyboard and use some neat apps like phone scheduler, automateit, and usb mass storage enabler to further tweak my experience.

So while I too lament the lack of updates (it's always nice to have official versions fix problems rather than my tweak hacking), I'll probably never install another rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Skeeter35:
Do you have the ripple effect turned off?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 1toadfacedfrump:
Yes, I do. I went ahead and downloaded Go Locker since I already use and know how great Go Launcher is, and Go Locker it is working fine for me, so I'm glad there is normally a work around with android. Thank you for the suggestion and for taking the time to answer. I must say, this Synergy rom was a great choice to get my feet wet with.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Kawirider1228:
Sooo I've had an issue that I have noticed lately and wanted to get a consensus on if it is my phone or Rom related. My battery percent will not go below 23% until it dies. The lowest I have ever seen this past month is 22% before it shuts down. Once I plug it back in and boot up, it has 0% battery. Ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Are you using BetterBatteryStats or any battery monitoring app?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xenster:
Same thing happened to me. Let it die, charge it all the way up. Delete battery stats in recovery then cycle one more time and you should be back in business.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] -Lawless:
I tried searching but is the torch broken? I can't get it to work in the lock screen or by the app itself.

When I activate it in the drop-down toggle, it stops the UI.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mushu13:
Works just fine for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bad355camaro:
Did you try a factory reset? It fixed a lot of issues I was having.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
I am assuming you do since you said the app itself.

but check to make sure you have Torch.apk in system/app
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] -Lawless:
I wiped and re-flashed twice with no results. I then flashed MOAR and everything worked perfectly with torch.

I'll try it again later today.
