Got a new build coming later today. Full wipe will be necessary. Plan accordingly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mapatton82:
This is the best news I have heard all day!!! This ROM is running great!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kzoak82:
I saved on internal sd instead of external and flashed from there. Should I have not? Have I broken something? Everything seems to be working great.

Thanks for the advanced notice. I will say that although wifi notification was working properly and not popping up i have had it come up once since. The only things i did with wifi related were to connect to my home networks. I left my home this morning and prior to leaving i turned wifi off. when i got to work it prompted me to connect to my office wifi network. Not sure how much this helps but figured i'd post anyway.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eschelon:
Those popups are controlled differently. All we nuked was the ongoing notification you couldn't dismiss and replaced it with a WiFi toggle in the notification bar along with the rest of the toggles.

You can use anycut to prevent the prompt you got this morning.

For some odd reason I'm very happy with my setup but I'm compelled to test it out, it sounds amazing. Here I go and I'll post some results even though you already have plenty

You guys want Google Wallet baked in, or would you rather stick to the flashble zip? Either way, using Google Wallet is going to set your device name to an HTC Jewel since VZW requested it be blocked on our model.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] adclem:
I would rather it be baked in, got to love VZW!!lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jurassitol:
Please make Google Wallet flashable. Thanks again for all the hard work!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] p-slim:
After setting up Google wallet you can change the build.prop back to the s3 one and wallet works fine
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ChadHughes:
A couple of things for you guys...and the synergy team!

The navbar works fine. Go ahead and flash it. Mind yourself, though, as the height is not properly scaled on our devices.

I have been painstakingly going through this beats audio process, and I have modified a flashable zip for the sgs2 to work with our devices. After its tested a little more , (currently makes my sound much better, but then again I have beats pro's ) I'll pass it to esch to see if he wants to use it.

If yiure getting the missing notification bar, black wallpaper disease, flash the ROM, do a full first boot, and then boot into recovery and flash the theme.

MMS.APK will replace the sec app(stock touchwiz messaging) when installing the domination themes, and wonderland. Joshbeach has recently uploaded a flashable zip for those who want stock messaging back. It's not the fault of this ROM.

Great ROM, and I'll be forum jumping to answer various questions and help the noobs out too.

Now it's back to work for me :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] :
I'm ok with either. Any way of getting Play Store auto restore of apps working in the next build? I know we can use TB, but i just like having apps clean install.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tiger505:
I vote NOT to have it baked-in. But that's just me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NotATreoFan:
For anyone having speed issues, try the following:

1) Power off the phone

2) Remove cover and battery

3) Remove SIM (spring-loaded)

4) Replace battery and cover

5) Boot up and ignore warnings

6) Let phone sit with no service for 1 minute (WiFi must be off)

7) Start over from the beginning and reinsert SIM.

As you will see from the screenshot below, my speeds went up dramatically after doing this.

The double tap function is controlled by the S Voice app, so we had to leave it bundled with the ROM. When you double tap the home button you get the "Complete action using..." menu where android displays the various apps you can use to complete the commandn. S Voice and Google Now are both listed there. You can flip back and forth at your pleasure or set one to be the default in which case the default app will open immediately after double tapping home
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] duarian:
I'm just curious, does synergy use another kernal other than stock? I only asked because I flashed the custom kernal but want to revert back. I have the stock VZW kernal so if this is what is normally used i'll just use that. If not i'll flash 1.6 again. Thanks guys!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] codyvance:
Just reflash 1.6 zip
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sensui123:
Stock kernel....so if you flash synergy, you'll have the stock kernel....need to reflash custom kernels if you want to retain it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eschelon:
The ROM does not flash a kernel or a boot.img of any kind at this time

Does flashing back to Stock using ODIN wipe the internal sd card specifically the Titanium Backup folder? I used odin and lost all my backups lol... should have saved it to the external sd card... :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] therobzilla:
Cleanest Flash Possible

Eschelon,

A quick question

I am running 1.5 and want to flash to 1.6, everything seems to be working decent in 1.5, however If I want the cleanest flash possible for 1.6 and don't use ODIN, how would I go about it.

FYI, I've been over on the Infected site for a while, on the Thunderbolt platform. Been through a few revision on that Rom, LOL. Santod convinced me to go to the S3 told me you had it going on over here. I sent him my old Thunderbolt to use as a test platform so he did not have to use his phone to test on...

Thanks again

Rob
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Glasairmell:
Yes you need to tell Titanium to use external. I like to also grab the TB folder and have it on my PC just to cover the basis!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Demiurge7:
Again fantastic work. I have not experienced some of the currently listed issues. I havent browsed the last 100 pages or so, but the only issue I have seen is the lockscreen weather location. I cant manually select my location, and it seems no matter what I do the location is "Maplewood". Am I missing something / user error, or is this a known issue with a workaround? No other location problems. HD widgets and weather pick up location just fine... its just the lockscreen. Not a big deal or deal-breaker. Otherwise this is a fantastic ROM with always improving updates at perfect intervals. You guys rock, keep up the great work!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mapatton82:
I have had a few people ask for this already but here is a flashable zip to remove the brightness slider. Just to make sure wipe cache and dalvik before flashing. I have tried this on my phone and it worked but I am not responsible if something happens, make sure to have a backup.

This will work on the following:

sorry to ask again. im not getting the option to assign the double tap its auto set to Google voice dialer. and i know this is a personal preff but i cannot stand that woman's voice lmao id rather use svoice. i went all thru the aps menu to try and turn the voice dialer off but canot find how to disable.

this is my only complaint which i cant really complain about solid rom great work bro
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] im_on_fire:
go to manage apps in the settings and clear default for both google search and s voice. then next time you double click home it should ask which you want to use. select s voice

Never a bad idea to sync your TiBu to a dropbox account or backup your SD card to another computer once a month or so :)

Hey Rob, santod did let me know he's be sending you my way ;) If you're on 1.5 and want to do it the cleanest way w/out Odin then go into recovery and wipe data, cache, and system, then flash 1.6 :)

We couldn't get it to work with the voice dialer since S Voice sorta hijacks that functionality. For what it's worth, the voice dialer command still comes up as the default when using bluetooth
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chip594:
I believe the op was referring to how double tapping home will function in 1.7. Right now in the ROMs current build I believe all that you can do is disable the double tap by going into S-Voice settings.

As I said. Have tryed that. Never get the choice to reassign the double click feature. Maybe I'm missing something.

Correct. The double tap to open Google Now hack will be added in v1.7. It does not exist in 1.6

I'm currently on v1.3 with Imoseyon's Lean Kernel. I know I have to do a full wipe and all, but do I need to revert back to the stock kernel before flashing v1.6?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] situman:
Flashed the Imoseyen lite beta v.1 kernal on top of 1.6 and when I reboot, for whatever reason, it first goes into CWM and once I hit reboot system, it boots fine. Is that ok or normal?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bigmook:
maybe you could ask this in the imoseyon thread?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bgolden84:
I think every one is confused. I want to restore svoice as the app that opens when the home button is double tapped just like stock. Is this possible lol if not that's fine just want to make sure that my question was not missunderstood. I don't want Google now or Google voice to open when double tap the home button only svoice
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] clambert11:
eschelon,

It appears as though you're unable to modify the default calendar notification sound in stock & SynergyROM. You can make the change but it doesn't seem to stick. It's driving me batty. Any chance something can be done to change that?

Additionally, the only way I have found to change the color of the exchange account calendar entries is to delete the account and re-add it. It seems to select a different color. Is there an easier way we can change the color of the events on the exchange calendar somehow?

Keep up the great work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eschelon:
In 1.7 when you double tap the home button it will ask you if you want to use S Voice or G Now. I left the choice in there. S Voice on double tap is currently broken on 1.6, that's why I wanted to fix it for those that wanted to use either app :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mpetruzz:
Is there any way to get the ICS blue dialer vs. the stock Samsung dialer?? Wasn't sure if there was a flashable file somewhere, I haven't found one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bgolden84:
Thanks. Seems that I can't read well oops. Again thanks for the great work man
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] im_on_fire:
No, it will be replaced with the stock kernel via the synergy ROM

Sent from my SCH-I535
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Schaweet:
Pretty sure just you are confused.

Answer:

– In 1.6 you either double tap for Google now or you turn that function off

– In 1.7 you will get a pop up to select the app you want to use and can even check the default box so it always uses that app.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chip594:
I've had that happen to me for a couple of the versions, it was just a bit of a pain having to watch your phone and hit that extra button. Once it booted up though everything worked just as it should.

I'm not really sure what causes it, but thankfully it didn't happen to me when I installed 1.6. I usually do a full wipe / install anytime I flash a Rom. So if it bothers you that much you could try to wipe data and reflash, maybe something got garbled.

Sent from a Galaxy far, far away...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] aqhilles:
I think when you flash a new rom, you remove the scripts that load it -remember you are not replacing the kernel; at least that's my understanding. Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

I tried his kernel a while back but it killed my batt (not all phones are made equal.) And if you read imo's thread, he mentions that in order to go back to the original kernel, you'd have to reflash whatever rom you were using or flash the back-to-stock zip included in the op.

If you want to be on the safe side:

make a backup

flash the back-to-stock zip

flash Synergy 1.5

data wipe

dalvik wipe

boot up

[flash new kernel here, but if I were you I'd let it run for a full day with the stock kernel for comparison purposes and...]

let it charge to 100%

wipe batt stats

flash new kernel

Since Imo says flashing a rom would revert to the stock kernel, would flashing a backup revert it as well? I did this when I installed his kernel and under about phone it went from his kernel to the stock... but I don't know if this field is populated with the actual kernel.

Another Question

Hey Rob, santod did let me know he's be sending you my way ;) If you're on 1.5 and want to do it the cleanest way w/put Odin then go into recovery and wipe data, cache, and system, then flash 1.6 :)

Santod is the salt of the earth, great guy, liked working with him at Infected.

I have to use the Exchange Server fix, as the phone is a corporate phone and we server, so I know based on what I read, whenever you flash as Rom we need to flash the Server fix, got that.

Here is the other one, I have been using the, "CPU Editor Snapdragon" Mod, and it seems to be working, do you recommend flashing this mod? or leaving it stock and testing battery on it's own w/ 1.6?

I'm using CWM 6.0.1.0, based on everything I've read, this seems to be best recover, I also have TWRP 2.2.0 and CWM Touch 5.8.4.9, I'm running the EZ-Recover 2.0 app. Your opinion on which one will be the cleanest.

I really would like to start from Stock and Re flash, but I'm out of that understanding loop as to how to get back to stock?

Thanks,

I promise I will be useful down the road, but just want to get stable now and get the learning curve under my belt.

Rob ;)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BizzUGA:
I would like to add to the list of people with GPS issues. I ODINed back to stock, then flashed Synergy 1.6. To test my GPS I went on a 30 minute drive to get to work using navigation. For the first 20 minutes it locked on great, but then was "searching for GPS". However, if i turned on GPS Status, it got a lock almost immediately, and when i switched back to navigation it would be back on track. It seems kinda odd that GPS works great unless in navigation. Oh, and I'm in central florida so everybody knows. Just throwing my experience out there
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eschelon:
I'm indifferent on the CPU editor mod. I personally use TWRP, but that's just a personal preference as CWM gets the job done just as well.

Loving the 1.6 build epic battery life. Only 2.5 hours screen on time but still amazing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sensui123:
I'm starting to think the GPS issue varies for so many people because GPS is never a certain thing in the first place....even before I went to this rom on a stock rooted rom (root66) it would take longer to lock @ certain places versus others....it has to do with ambient conditions, satellites, and radio towers yadda yadda....I don't see a difference with 1.6 versus 1.5 in terms of GPS....some places it locks fine, some places takes awhile, some never.

Other than that, the rom runs perfectly, great job Escehelon. But a very real issue that you should look at (I can't believe no one has mentioned this prior....) is that under VPN in settings where you can save VPNs.....it does not stick. You can save any number of VPNs, back out of settings and going back in it's blank. I tried looking through the apps I frozed using titanium backup and don't see anything that would cause this....even unfroze everything as a just in case and didn't fix the issue.....so it's something with the synergy roms for sure (also tried different kernels, different imoseyons and stock). I can verify this happens with 1.5 and 1.6.

I think I'll stop the restoring process for awhile, 1.6 seems to be a great daily driver for now. =)

Yea sometimes I feel like a tard when I go back and read while I'm not running after my 16 month old son. I've been on these forums since I was with T-Mobile and had my first android the mytouch. Man those were the days. Since I have had almost every flagship android phone on all carriers except Verizon. I am coming from sprint this go around. I can tell there is a performance drop on the galaxy s 3 between sprint and vzw. But I had no choice sprint dropped me for excessive roaming after I moved. vzw is the only carrier that gets service here. I am greatly appreciative of all the dev's that are working to un gimp this phone.

Where is this CPU script I have seen mentioned? Does it just kill the CPU when phone not in use to save battery?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ChuckFarley:
I've been using that, but it's not ideal. I've found that off you unplug the headphone jack while audio is playing, the controls are not available in the drop-down from the lock screen. If you outside before they disconnect it remains. I'm just really surprised that lock screen controls aren't integrated by default on tw. Seems crazy to me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Glasairmell:
Hi!

GPS is a very certain thing. Aircraft, boats etc use it for very precise navigation. In fact the FAA are going to close down older navigation aids because of how well GPS is performing for so many pilots. This phone is capable of locations down to 10 feet. On the stock Rom the G3 GPS was super . Right now on my unit with 1.6 it is performing great. I am sure this will get sorted out for those that still are having issues.

sensui123 I sure would like to see a GPS test screen shot when your unit gps is giving you trouble.

If you follow those steps, your phone will not boot. Essentially you flashed a ROM, wiped all your partitions, then attempted a reboot. Data and dalvik wipe need to go before the flash Synergy step.

Works great for the AOSP ICS stuff. Not very sure about JB.

No doubt the technology is very sound. I'm just debating the implementation on the cellphone itself in terms of hardware. My blackberries before would sometimes have GPS trouble as well between the hardware implementation and horrible software syncs when it came to google maps.....so I guess I wasn't expecting any of these mobile devices to have a 100% reliable GPS (I only have experience with older cellphones and tablets). Screenshot when it's giving me trouble? Do you mean when it's trying to lock the location? What would a screenshot tell you? It just says waiting for gps location heh.....I'm not running the apps you guys are to see the number of satellites and other details if that's what you mean.
