I'm experiencing some freezing here and there. The one way I found to get it consistently is in Root Explorer, and going into /mnt . The program will freeze. Sometimes it gets in after half a minute or so, and sometimes it just crashes.

It's a clean install.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fluxvalve:
Can't duplicate that here. I've been playing around with Root Explorer in /mnt for the past five minutes, no problems.

I've never had a freeze or crash on any version of this ROM. Currently running r50.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] guthrien:
Running the latest. Still has the little data toggle bug. Still fast as hell. Nice creepy boot animation. Thumbs up, maestros.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] therobzilla:
I'm having the same issue as above and I did a clean wipe. Also having issues with Google voice/mic button on the keypad locks up 80% of the time. Using go SMS pro and. Smart keyboard pro. Never had these issues on r50.

There's no instructions at all in the OP telling anyone to unlock their bootloader. So unless someone has been watching this thread religiously it would be very easy to overlook the fact that they should. A lot of people just check the OP for an update then download and flash away. I personally assumed that since it's a stock ROM that unlocking wouldn't be required, only reason I caught on that it was was because I happened to get lucky and check the thread right as someone posted about it being required.

This thread is too f 'n huge to find the right information sometimes.

So when you get those urges, go relieve yourself in private instead of implying people are stupid.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] slick_shoes:
My boot animation still looks the same on the r52 and everything is working great.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TechSavvy2:
Do cars need instructions to drive? Or are you just assumed don't get behind the wheel without knowing what you're doing? I think you are the reason devs are still required to post the "this could brick your device....." comments.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HolyGrail:
You both made you're points......lets stay on topic please.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XTRoRDiNAiRE:
Love that new bootanimation!

Remember that from my og evo days...

Or was it the 3d - scratches head -

Either way love it

Odin back to root 66. Every time I try out an aosp Rom if I front Odin This happens on every build I've tried.

I do understand what you are saying. But it is indeed listed as the first POI in the Q&A (post #2).

That being said, it could probably be a little more clear. Having something near the download link would be beneficial to others.

Great job on r52. That boat ani is awesome work. Kudos to the creator nice 3d work.:D:thumbup:

The boot-loader unlock is needed for the custom Kernel that is now packaged with this ROM. It is in the Q and A #1.

It's not like the wire trick on the rebound, and damn HTC phones.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Brian Gove:
When learning to drive you take instructions from others, same for the majority of people modding their phones. If the instructions aren't there then people won't follow them. Granted the instructions are here in this thread but as I said, this is a difficult thread to find things in being almost six thousand posts. Even the search this thread function is relatively useless in this instance.

My post wasn't even directed to you yet you seemed to take offense to it. Did I touch a nerve? Why don't you take you're head out of your arse and realize we aren't all as all knowing and perfect like you?

Yes, but a lot of people don't associate unlocking the bootloader with running an update to the ROM they've been using that started out not needing it unlocked. So they wouldn't think to look at the Q & A again each update. This ROM has been running, and from what I could tell, had all intentions of continuing to run with a locked bootloader. See what I mean?

Somehow permissions got f 'd up during the flash because I ran "fix permissions" from recovery after flashing and now it works perfectly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Morphinity:
Because I don't want to unlock for ****s and giggles? Synergy was working for me previously, and I will unlock it now that there's a reason to.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] The5Venomz:
Dirty flashed r52 this morning, running great...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Zacharybinx34:
What is it you are seeing...?

Q: How do I install this ROM?

A: Download the ROM from the "Download Links" section above, place the file on your phone's external SD card, and then flash via your recovery. First boot after flash takes a wee bit longer than usual. You should have an unlocked bootloader if you wish to take full advantage of this ROM.

That is is the first Q&A, it says NOTHING about this.

And clicking the link for the Kernal brings me to this http://git.ziggy471.com/i535.git

Still not sure what I'm supposed to be downloading/flashing with Odin...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] goldsmitht:
i wear glasses, and i couldn't get it to work on stock unrooted or on either of the ROMs that i have tried.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Zacharybinx34:
Also what is the difference between ZIGGY's unlocked bootloader and this?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...GwsMSwyLDEwMiwiY29tLm1tbWVmZi5lei51bmxvY2siXQ..

Will either work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] voodoomanx:
Ziggy's bootloader that comes with the new rom requires the phone to be boot unlocked. The play store app will unlock the bootloader and allow ziggy's custom kernel to install.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] schmaltzy:
I just did a full wipe of everything and flashed R52. "Media" is still draining my battery like crazy unless I force stop it. Then I have to check it everyone in a while and force stop it again or it will continue to eat the battery. See first picture below. That is soon after a reboot without touching the phone. Is anyone else having this problem and is that a fix anyone knows about for this? I did a search and can't find anything.

Love the battery life Synergy offers, but having to Force Stop "Media" every so often is a pain in the rear! Can anyone help?

Also, I flashed the wallpaper scrolling mod but I still only get to crop the picture to the size of one screen. Am I missing something?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] voodoomanx:
That's how the tw scrolling works sadly and why a lot of us wanted it removed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] schmaltzy:
But it's not removed yet, correct? Like I said, I flashed the mod found in the OP and it's still like that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Zacharybinx34:
Can anyone answer my question on which file I'm suppose to be flashing with ODIN to unlock the bootloader?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ryezen:
Hate to say it brotha, but I dirty flashed and don't even have "Media" listed when I view "All" apps in Application Manager. Must be something installed by an app you're running or a media codec or something. Doesn't appear to be ROM-related.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hapex:
My bootloader is unlocked.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ylexot:
None. Just download VZW GS3 EZ-Unlock from the Play store, click unlock, and profit.

i think the Media might be the Media Scanner ??? just a thought..i know when i flashed the nightlys the gallery might not work for about 2 min after reboot due to media scanning...

also on r52 the notification light for full charge / charging are not working, but all other notifications are working.. so far everything else is working great..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] schmaltzy:
I've switched to different ROM's though and restored all the apps I've got running on this. I've never had this problem with any other ROM's.

---------- Post added at 08:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:36 AM ----------

OK, but how to I fix it then?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ryezen:
Srsly? I mean, I could see it if it there wasn't an app out there with one HUGE A$$ button that let you unlock your bootloader with ONE click... But there is one! Additionally, you can even RE-lock your bootloader, so there isn't even an "I need to be able to return to stock" excuse for not unlocking it.

Really not trying to be a jerko here, but holy fek... It's ONE click in an app. Next you'll be asking E to make the ROM hold your penis for you when you pee... " for ****s and giggles" of course... >.>
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] robpet2:
do you have ringtones running ?? have you gotten any calls ?? but the media scan should only happen 1 time, also depends on how big your memory card is. if there is an error on your memory card that can be an issue
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ryezen:
I see your point, Bro... But here's the deal. If I'm running the same ROM and haven't frozen/deleted any apps, and my phone doesn't have the "Media" app running in the background, then it's probably something you have installed above/beyond the standard ROM's apps. Just saying...

Or, at least, it's something you've got going on that isn't part of the "normal" ROMs operation, like formatted your SD card to something other than FAT32 or whatnot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] guthrien:
I had similar issues after screwing with the Samsung Media Hub / Center last time. I was just curious, will not use again.

Could someone please explain to me what r50, r51, and r52 is? I see everyone talking about it, but I have no clue what anyone means. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Nnyan:
R52 running well (seems to FC less often in specific apps), BT is still not auto-connecting (tried 3 different jawbones, a motorola and a Jabra) BUT it does work much better than R50 was. New animation was very cool.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xicewallx:
I think I started fresh at r46 but the notification lights work fine for me. Although, I will say that I have a had a couple times when plugging in the phone doesn't make a sound and doesn't show the red led unless I wake the phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bobby janow:
Incorrect, the noti light works just fine. At least on mine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Nnyan:
Just means which revision you are on, now that this ROM is on a daily update schedule the rXX will tell you which version you are running. Last nights version is r52.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] voodoomanx:
You crop it for one screen and that one screen stays as your background for all your screens. Hence no scrolling.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] egore93:
Those are ROM versions. This is a nightly ROM build meaning every night the ROM gets updated by the devs. They try to tweek and fix various things in the ROM daily and we report what's working and what's not and they keep making it better off of our reports.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xicewallx:
Team synergy was doing full releases (1.6, 1.7, etc) then they now switched to nightly builds. They submit changes and then every night a computer compiles and uploads the newest changes. Keeps everyone up to date.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Schaweet:
SMH.....lesson learned.

It amazes me how many people flash roms without reading what they are doing. Even the script tells you while it is installing on this rom. You are lucky esch was nice enough to put in a script to check for an unlocked bootloader or you would have had a nice soft brick on your hands.

Read what you are doing people! You could really jack up your device.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] robpet2:
on all other nightlies i have tried when at full charge, i would get the green light.. now phone says 100 percent and their is no light. might be preventing over charge.

r52 = unplugged at 9:30am with 6min screentime and still at 100% ( now 10:45am )..

notification light is not a major issue, but just something i noticed.. benchmark scores are still hovering around 7k on antuntu, all apps running fine, Bluetooth autoconnect in car is working ( 2013 VW CC ) - Media player wouldnt pair automatically, but phone paired fine.

Tried CM10 for a while but I'm back to Synergy for its speed and stability. Love the new kernel BTW.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] teknomar7:
I got a strange thing going on here. I dirty flashed from 50 to 52. When I double tap the home button initially, the voice search comes up as expected. If I open up google now (and it is running the task manager), double tapping the home button reopens google now instead of going to voice search. Is this by design or a bug? Didn't see that on r50.

Also, if I kill google now from the task manager... it goes back to google voice search when double tapping the home button.

Edit. Went back to 50 from a nandroid and it does the same thing, so I guess I just didn't notice it before.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mutelight:
I like the scrolling wallpaper personally. You can use an app like this to size the images properly so they fill the screen while scrolling.

Those of you getting the Wifi Tether errors, just curious: Are you guys fixing permissions in recovery? If so, don't. I already set them properly for you in updater-script
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mikey4226:
This may not be a synergy specific issue, but is it normal to be unable to use the back button to exit out of google now? The only way i can get out of google now is through the physical home button.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PyroXian:
Further playing leads me to think this is actually caused by changes to "wifi tether for root users" from the play store. I flashed to r52 (dirty from r39), re-installed imo's lk 0.3 kernel, booted and tested wifi tether - worked perfectly. Took the playstore update for the app and started getting the permissions error. un-installed wifi tether app, re-flashed r52, and the error went away as did my need to toggle on/off/on to get other devices to see it correctly. For now I'm going to avoid updating the wifi tether app and just use the version included in the ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bgolden84:
That's why there is this neat thing called a search button use it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Schaweet:
You know you can just use the WiFi toggle and native tethering works just fine. Just don't try it from the hot spot switch or it won't work.

While were on the subject of wifi, with the gigantic size of these updates its taking incredibly long to download from pc via es file explorer smba how are you all doing it? Anybody suggest a faster app? I guess i could plugin but the whole mtp workaround is a hassle to. I would just go straight to the phone but you cant specify the ext card so it takes a while to transfer that. Using a class 6 sandisk with an n dual band so nothing slow on the router side. Oh another question i thought i read somewhere people were connecting in the 5ghz band , i cant get that to happen. Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] voodoomanx:
I go direct to the phone and keep it on the internal card and flash from there. I don't see a good reason not to do it that way.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Neverendingxsin:
I like using 4G only because it uses Verizon's precious data ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Sccrluk9:
I just dl it to my computer then transfer it to the phone. Only takes a few min to do the transfer. I do it this way so I have all previous versions backed up to my computer incase I need/want to go back to them. Though writing this made me think that since I have my NANDroids Im not sure why I keep them. Guess Ill be cleaning them out when I get off work today!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Zacharybinx34:
I did not do the permission fix in recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] azbobs:
I dnload the rom to my pc then plug my phone in and transfer the file to my phone's internal card on

root, then used cwmr touch and did a wipe of the cache partition and dalvik cache 3 times each. Then

added the zip downloaded in this case r50 and flashed it along with the killer theme darkhorse 2.1 for Synergry1.7

working good.

No issues so far and getting ready to flash to r52 before crashing!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Brian Gove:
It is easy to do yes but I would have no use nor care to unlock mine if synergy didn't require it. I don't mess that much with my phone development wise. Half because I don't fully understand what I would be doing most of the time and half because I want as stable daily driver on it.

If you notice, before you run your mouth, my signatures, up until today, have explicitly said I'm using tapatalk. Which is a great little app but or doesn't have a search this thread option.

And besides, how is one supposed to search for instructions that tell them to unlock the bootloader if they don't know they're supposed tip unlock it in the first place?? Could you explain that one to me oh wise one?

Stupid question, but you are checking the settings to make sure that option for the lights is still enabled right?

Eschelon,

Is it possible to have the alerts/ringtone/etc play out of the earphone when an earphone is connected? I use PowerAmp and whenever I'm listening to a song and an email or message comes in, my phone gets tripped up and doesn't know what to do with the music. It actually plays the music for a split second out of the speakerphone before it gets transferred over to the earphone again.

Also, not sure if this is a PowerAmp problem or the rom, but if you were listening to a song through an earphone with a microphone and you get a call, hang up and it would seem like the phone is playing the song but no music would come out of the earphone. It's the weirdest thing. I would have to pause the song for like 10 seconds and resume to have the music come out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bgolden84:
not to be an ass but up to this point you could not flash a kernel with out k-exec. well if you had read the op you would see that it now includes a kernel other than stock. hence you need to unlock the bootloader. not to mention the fact that this has been brought up like every 3 post's since the kernel was included. i mean you guys act like its hard to read or something

i also wanted to thank you for the laugh with all 10 of your post and 3 thanks in your meter.

it does not matter if the damn thread is 500000 pages if you miss on post it could cost you your phone. so read read read read. then search then read then ask? chances are someone in the thread has already touched on the issue or issues you are having.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chetqwerty:
Interesting you all use internal memory i always thought it was safer to use the external card. Ill try the wifi transfer to internal and see if its quicker. Az you must b one of the lucky ones to have native mtp working then. No matter what i try cannot get it to work, never has from motorolas to htc's and now the samsung mtp has always errored driver not installed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Brian Gove:
There was similar issues that I'm pretty sure were app specific on previous releases. Someone was having their music play through the speaker after a call rather than going back to their headphones. Power Amp just may not party nice with the ROM.

It has been brought up quite often. Because people aren't unlocking their bootloader, and I'm just giving back some if the attitude that that has been given them. People are implying that they're stupid when they are not.

When updates to the ROM that required a full wipe instead of a dirty flash were made it was made very clear in the change log to do just that. With the nightlies the log isn't as clear as when it was posted in the OP(it's got a lot more entries). I honestly haven't even read the change log back that far so I don't know if unlocking the bootloader was mentioned in it. Either way, having to unlock your bootloader wasn't made as clear as it could have been. A lot of the more experienced people took it for granted while those that aren't as experienced didn't even think of it and ran into problems.

I unlocked my bootloader before updating from 1.7 to r50 so I didn't have any of those problems. I just hate ignorant comments like the ones that were made, like use the search function when it would've been completely useless in this instance.( in case you didn't read it the first time go to my previous response to you)

Now it's a "I've got a bigger post count than you" contest?! Lol, I feel like I'm in junior high again. If you want to look at my post/thanks count thirty percent of my posts have been helpful... I'd say thats a pretty good for someone who only started posting in the last couple weeks...especially since I'm not a developer or anything...

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PyroXian:
I'm well aware of the fact that the toggle works, but I choose to use the app instead for a variety of reasons.

WiFi tether for root users is far more configurable (manual channel selection etc) as well as being able to set shutdown timers and idle-time shutdown (if I'm tethering at work it's nice to not have my battery get chewed down to nothing if I forget to turn it off when I leave the office for example).

I also question the legality of bypassing the entitlement check, whether by explicitly applying the hack to bypass it, or by just utilizing the native app through the toggle which appears to do the same thing.

Bottom line: WiFi tether works and works well as long as I don't update from the play store, and offers better controls while also giving me plausible deniability should Verizon ever decide to push the issue of tethering without paying on the grandfathered unlimited plans.

Anyone having issue with Smart Alerts on R52. I came from a fresh install. Tried fixing permissions. It seems all the other motion commands work for me but that one. Even up doing the "Try it" it just force closes.

Tried fixing permissions as well. Anywho just seeing if it's me :)
