Ut o. Long time GNex user now on GSIII. Need some quick help here. Decided to try Synergy today. Downloaded the latest nightly and it installed fine. (I was running NoSympathy ROM). I did have Clockwork Recovery latest version. Phone booted perfect with Synergy. I noticed for some reason the Kernel did not update. I could not turn on WIFI - wierd. I should have asked first but downloaded Kernel from first link on page of thread. Installed. Now phone will not boot - get the yellow triangle and "System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless blah blah blah go to store for help".

What is my next step and why did this happen? I was rooted with NoSympathy with latest CWM. Did I miss a step?

Thanks for your help - sorry to be 'that guy' needing help.

UPDATE: I apparently confused the term "rooted" and "unlocked bootloader". So Ill need to start from scratch. I do have Odin. I need to get rid of that message first.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Need to unlock bootloader. Will need to check threads but believe you need to odin back to stock and start over to clear Verizon message. You can use Adam's casual to root, install CWM and unlock bootloader all in one shot and then use EZ recovery from market if you want to change recovery to different version CWM or TWRP. Casual does work on Windows 7 as long as you have Java installed. Or you can root as you did before and use EZ unlock from the Market. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AdamHLG:
yeah thats what I am doing now back to root66 (remember that?). Then i will start over. Lesson learned to READ the instructions.

Edit - I am unbricked. Thanks.

System Tuner shows the cores separately, so you can see in real time.

Sounds like a rouge app. Maybe try and removing some apps until you see a change. I don't see this problem at all.

It may take a while to nail down what is causing it. I remember in the early Fascinate days, YouMail would cause a SOD. it did not make any sense as to why, but it did. Once I would remove it, the problem stopped. Apps can cause some funky stuff.

EDIT: I am not getting any random reboots on 64 with Ziggy 8/29 build 1.7 GHZ ondemand - cfq or deadline

For those of you having an issue with Quickpic, go into settings>browse>excluded folders - then add CWM folders to excluded on both int and ext SD card. This sped up the load to normal. I wonder if that is where the issues are. The blob file in CWM is HUGE.

QUESTION: Can I delete the files in that Blob file????

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 760hacker:
Flashed 1.3 about an hour ago and so far so good. Need to run it thru It's paces today for real tests but thanks again for the continued development. One small graphical note, the date in the notifcation dropdown is not ICS blue to match the toggles, assume it was just an oversight?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] suzook:
Been using your ROM since day one. Unfortunately I liked the green toggles, there are plenty of themes to make them blue. Any possibility of making a zip to make the toggles green? Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] drbveb88:
Why not try SwiftKey or the Jelly Bean keyboard. I personally use SwiftKey and the predictions are great. They use your text, email or Facebook to get a feel for your writing and style. (if you give them permission) After a little while you can type out frequently used sentences with just the predictions. Best keyboard I have personally used.

I have read that predictions on the Jelly Bean keyboard are fantastic as well. I just like my keyboard to have a little color. That's the great thing about android... so much customization!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] clambert11:
Just my freakin' luck! I downloaded last night to install for the first time this morning. I just finished re-configuring and see that 1.3 is now out but requires a full wipe! Damn it! :)

Oh well, that's life as a ROMmer.

Guess I'll ride this for a week or so before updating it again.

Many thanks to the devs on this. It seems very nice so far.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] drbveb88:
Devolopers like the Synergy Team is why I'm so addicted to this stuff. :D Just when you get one version set up, here comes the next newly improved version. Holy cow Batman, you guys have amazingly quick updates. Thanks for all the great work, this rom is fantastic and the Team is even better!!

I try to give you guys all a heads up when a new build is coming out so that you can plan accordingly, and I'll continue to do so. Also, I know there are some remaining theme element issues (green dots and checkboxes around to OS occasionally, etc)... The ROM has only been out less than a week and I'm working my fastest to get to it all. It's just a lot of work :)

Exrtract SystemUI.apk from v1.2 and drop it in /system/app/ which will overwrite the other one and set permissions to rw-r-r (644) then reboot.

In SecLauncher2 go to res/values/bools.xml and set "<bool name="config_fixedWallpaperOffset">true</bool>" to false. If you want to turn it back off just set it to true again.

EDIT: Ok, it looks like maybe you're not asking how it's done, but rather how to see it in the OS. It's turned on by default in v1.3. You need to use a wallpaper that's properly sized tho. You can see it working with the stock wallpaper though

Clicking 'Thanks' is nice and all for people who help each other, but devs deserve donations. You all spent $300 on this phone, but how many of you have donated to eschelon for making the phone the way you wanted it to be right out of the box?

Based on his thread comments, it appears he has spent his last two weekends working on this for you guys... Send him a little something to say thanks. Devs don't make nearly enough for the work they put into this in their spare time.

It's the price of a lunch to you guys, but I bet it means the world to the devs

Does anyone know how to customize the Custom notification bar toggles? It's cool that WiFi toggle was added but I'd like to get GPS on the first screen.

Is there a way to customize the order?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eschelon:
A race condition is created on the first boot which prevents our script from killing that notification on the first boot only. You need to reboot one time before we kill the ongoing wifi notification and it will be gone every reboot after that (until you wipe data again)

I'll look at that updated framework and see if it causes more harm than good :)

No, I didn't get rid of it yet. I stayed up til the wee hours of the morning to get this release out in time for your lazy Sundays and I was just too tired to do it last night :)

It's on my to-do list

You can change the order by opening up SystemUI.apk and re-arranging the toggles in /res/values/arrays.xml. Be sure your editor uses UNIX formatting instead of Windows or you'll get EOL errors and it won't work.

Alright, here is a feature I've never thought about before, but would it be possible to get the stock Touchwiz launcher to allow editing of homescreen icons? I've always used Nova or ADW ex, so this was never an issue, but I really love this Touchwiz. If only I could make it look cool.

Could somebody define "full wipe" for a n00b, please. I assume its at least the following in CW recovery.

1. wipe data/factory reset

2. wipe cache partition

Anything else?

If this is your first or second day when doing a complete clean wipe and flashing the rom, media will run heavily for a few hours. It is scanning all of your pictures, downloads, songs. Anything media related. I always have very high media usage on my first day with a new rom, but the following days it isn't even on the list.

I'm going to be pushing the stable 8/29 Ziggy kernel today so that it is included in tonight's build. This will give us a chance to look into the random reboots.

I'm pretty sure media scanner will run for a short time after a reboot. If you're seeing a high percentage use and your battery % is still in the high 90's look over this issue as it isn't one. Otherwise it's gotta be a rogue app and the only way to chase it down is with a lot of leg work on your part. BBS (Better Battery Stats) and google can be a ton of help with something like this. Good luck
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Neverendingxsin:
Just so I understand completely cpu1 is supposed to spend most of its time sleeping or offline? System tuner shows mine offline 83% of the time.

Media Scanner runs all the time at boot. See http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1522110&page=2 if you want to disable it (at the downside of your phone not knowing when songs/photos/files were added or removed while the sd card was removed) or download some apps that will allow you to disable the scanner, but be able to scan at will.

From what i have read, CWM uses those as generic files to back-up. And have been told to not delete them if you want to be able to use your back-ups in CWM. TWRP isn't using them, so their back-up files are larger
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chetqwerty:
Yep. Actually bailed on the 747 because i didnt notice anything special over Ziggys but main reason was i couldnt adb in anymore. I saw that CPU1 was never online during phone use for 20 minutes so i figured i would use the adb check that E told us to confirm CPU activity with and I couldnt connect to the phone. Flashed Ziggy and connected right up again. Only combo I'm getting that doesn't yield CPU1 offline 100% of the time is stable Ziggy from OP ondemand cfg. For those thinking everything is working fine with other combo's make sure your monitoring with an app that shows both cores. I get that CPU1 is supposed to sleep a lot more than CPU0 but it's not supposed to never come on. If your using System Tuner make sure to reset the stats on every governer scheduler combo change. For those thinking your getting insane battery life it may be because one of your cores is never even turning on, just sayin.

Edit: Lagfree works too but doesnt sleep as soundly as on demand

GPS Issues

Were the GPS issues ever completely resolved? My phone often takes FOREVER to get a GPS lock, and this has been happening since just after 1.7, IIRC. I recently tried a full wipe, thinking that would solve the problem, but it didn't. Only way I can get a decent lock is to start up GPS Test app, let it find a bunch of satellites, then open maps right afterwards and use the GPS lock that the GPS Test app did all the work to establish.

Is clean wipe not good enough to fix the GPS problem? Would Odining back to stock and then flashing latest Synergy likely fix my issues?

I've seen that some other ROMs have GPS fixes available as patches. Would something like that work with Synergy?

Thanks!

---------- Post added at 12:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:29 PM ----------

I've been getting random reboots ever since the kernels started using 1.9 as default OC setting, so I'm definitely looking forward to this next release.

Go to your account online and under features disable backup assistant. Will have to manually set up email accounts. I also freeze the BUA apps with no problems.

No GPS issues since E reverted back to stock GPS awhile back. And yes, a clean wipe wouldn't hurt
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Sccrluk9:
Did you freeze all of them? There are 3 different files for it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
I just freeze BUA 1.0 and 2.0. One backs up media and other is email related I believe. Other file is a support file and does nothing without the app as far as I can tell.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AdamHLG:
Thanks for this. I do have a question. I have been on this ROM for all of 4 hours as my first true custom ROM having come from NoSympathy (but in my GNex days I was a flashaholic). I am not really up to speed yet on terminology so I do not know what the 747 kernel is... but inasmuch as i am on R68 i assume your reference to Ziggy (inasmuch as I see that name in the 'about kernel' info on my phone) means i am on the Ziggy Kernel included with R68 - and i further assume this is the same Ziggy kernel referenced in your post.

Ok, so I did download System Tuner and with the default Lagfree setting i did not see CPU 1 in use at all. With onDemand I am seeing some limited use of CPU1.

My question is... how would CPU1 get utilized? I mean... how do i really test it? Is there a specific app that is CPU intensive that would trigger the use of both CPUs?

Also is there a general consensus on whether to leave this setting on lagfree or ondemand, both with respect to battery life v. performance?

Thanks.

EDIT: Just FYI - clean install - no problems whatsoever that I can tell yet. Of course its only been 4 hours. Great job on this ROM I love it - my phone is fast as hell so far.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] waynedc:
CPU1 activity...

I can get CPU1 to show activity by observing it in System Tuner and then pulling down on your top status bar. Returning the status bar to the top shows activity with CPU1. I am using r68 and leanKernel-0.7
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chetqwerty:
KT747 is a kernel made by ktoonsez for use on an AOSP Rom, he made a specific version for Samsung Verizon but not for Synergy specificly although some here have tried it so i thought i would give it a spin. Dont have the link for it now just search here though.

How would CPU1 get utilized? Just fire up anything graphic based really, play a few seconds of a movie then go back to System Tuner and see if CPU1 had any activity. My guess is that it wont though. If you dont see any activity its prob offline for good. I use another real time always on top CPU monitor called MicroCpu Monitor, bought the full version because it lets you control the width of the line better for easier viewing. With it you dont have to go back into System Tuner, it's in your view the whole time your trying to raise the CPU activity. If you use an app like Antutu or some other CPU tester it wont accurately portray CPU activity because it pegs the CPU on max for testing purposes.

As far as your last question on general consensus???? Dude, would love to know myself!! I would wager that of the close to 7-800 (prob by now) downloads of the latest nightlie not to many really know that CPU1 is in all probability offline with the default governer-scheduler settings.

Again, would love to know E's personal settings, it's his ROM and he's the expert.

I have a bug to report and did not see a way to report this other than in this thread (if there is a way, forgive me, point me the way, and I will report there).

Clean install R68. The bug involves the call record button while on a call. I was on a call and i saw the call record button (very cool). I then received another call and answered that call while on the first call. When that call was completed, I went to 'swap' to the first call. The 'swap' button and 'record' button appeared in the same spot at the same time and the letters over-wrote each other. I pressed it and it said it started to record... but there was no way to swap the call.

I was able to duplicate this a second time.

Thanks.

Sleep mode on the DX was listed as "a low power state with quick power on". It basically turned on airplane mode and set the CPU to its lowest setting. To wake it up was the same as powering on the device, except it went right to the lock screen. I think a good interpretation for the SGS 3 would be to turn off one of the CPU's, bottom out the others clock speed, enable airplane mode and put it to sleep. I'm sure a youtube video search will show a DX using sleep mode. Its great for at movies and other places you don't plan on using your phone, but don't want to shut it off completely. I've tested my DX up to a week in sleep mode and the battery never died.

You can swap in the menu and keep both but it is a pain. Easier to delete built in call recorder to have swap and use Call Recorder by Skvalex. Although it has doubled in price. $10 is kinda high although it does work much better than it used to on non kernel compatible phones.
