esch is there anything some of us with smart touch and other motion errors can send you to see what the problem may be?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SirKronan:
Man oh man, I want to update to 1.7. I'm still on 1.3, and it's been a battery nightmare and buggy as hell from the get go, but Google Wallet always works flawlessly, and I hate having to redo that business again, because it was a bit of work to get it going, and I actually use it quite a bit.

But I am getting sick of bugs bugs bugs....

(edit: mods & OP, don't worry, I still love this ROM and appreciate the reduced bloat GREATLY, and the phone is still speedy!!)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bgolden84:
Trust me when I say download the newest nightly. It is worth the mess of setting up wallet again trust me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SirKronan:
Alrighty. I shall try to do it tonight. Newest nightly has the kernel now, right?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Mystikalrush:
Im about to flash this rom, but noticed on there nightly log its up to r50, but the build link is r46. Is this normal, or where can i grab the latest one?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SiXandSeven8ths:
Something like that.

You need to be unlocked now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bgolden84:
The newest nightly is not up yet. And yes it has the new kernal. You need to unlock your bootloader if you have not done so yet. Happy flashing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eschelon:
r50 will be up in 20 mins
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Mystikalrush:
Thanks for the info.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] knifedroid:
Mr. echelon,

Might I ask if you guys are working on a backup method that won't require qpst?

I'm a little confused/concerned about this whole imei situation all the way around, and any insight you have would be greatly appreciated.

Sent from an overpriced Verizon tower.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] voodoomanx:
Nvm
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eschelon:
QPST is actually not the proper way to do it. The Galaxy S2s had this problem as well. We should have some more info for you guys tomorrow regarding some new findings we've discovered with the loss of IMEIs as well as some other things
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jgrimberg1979:
I never have to redo Google wallet after flashing so long as you don't do a full wipe, just flash the wallet. Zip right after you flash the update but do it immediately rather than booting up first a d then flashing it. Works every time for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NorthlandAZ:
Yes thank you for all your work. I'm still on 1.7 and have no problems at all. I'm still a little scarred to flash any thing until IMEL is fix.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Metfanant:
and then what happens when you have issues introduced by dirty flashing?

really shouldn't have a problem on Synergy
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NAU420:
+1 hoping for the same fix. Love the Rom and I'm all so on 1.7 with JB theme. No problems and loving it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] s197:
Anyone else having issues with clockwork backups? I'm on r39 and my backup file size is like 20MB. All my other Synergy backups are close to 2GB. I've tried two different versions of Clockwork (including the newest) but that hasn't helped.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] md4dodge:
I use the CWM touch from EZ Recovery app and back up to ext sd. works like a charm for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Mystikalrush:
I seem to have ran into the same problem, the backup was 20mb but the blob folder was like 1.8gb, is this correct or did cwm not backup my current phone properly?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Neverendingxsin:
I believe that is correct. Do not ever mess with the blob folder.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Alien-dx11:
Running 1.7 here as well. I think I'll wait for eschelon to incorporate the automatic efs backup when flashing roms.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] s197:
Recent change? My old backups used to be close to 2GB but I deleted them because of the confusing date stamps. I didn't touch the blob folder but I did remove all the old backups. Can I delete the entire clockwork folder and start over?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] md4dodge:
the blob folder cleans itself out during backup, at least i think that's what Eschelon said
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Neverendingxsin:
There fine my backups with 6.0.1.2 are about 22mb each. It's because with cmw 6 almost all of the data is stored in the blob folder. This way you don't backup duplicate data and it saves you space. Don't worry 20mb will be fine :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] s197:
Thanks for the confirmation, I guess I'm just used to the old Clockwork method. This must be a version 6+ change as my old Synergy backups were the larger sized files.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] VirtuaPirate:
I am facing this issue too. Have to turn off wifi before i can toggle data. R39 here
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Stam2000:
Hey E is there any way to make SMS only pull up mobile numbers instead of every number?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] s197:
Go and Handcent allow you to do this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] duarian:
Ugh...this mountsd is currently killing me. I got it to work once, then I installed QPST and backed up my IMEI, and now it wont work anymore >.<. It keeps saying 'the device is busy'. The SD card no longer shows up as a drive either >.<. I am getting amazing battery life with r33, would really suck if I have to re-flash back to stock and re flash again :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] voodoomanx:
Did you remember to return usb to mts when you were done in the hidden menu?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] duarian:
I did. I have tried both MTS and MTS+ADB, still get the same 'failed:device or resource is busy'

Have tried uninstalling the drivers, the phone from my computer...everything I can think of and I still get it sadly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] slick_shoes:
I read somewhere here that using system tuner allowed them to set the CPU at 1.5ghz and it would stick after reboot. Are u doing anything different cause mine reverts back to 1.9ghz after reboot. Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] s197:
Esch,

Bluetooth working for me on r50 :good:

Dirty flashed over r39.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] coolguy71261:
Why does auto brightness turn back on after I turn it off?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ghilliek9:
You are correct. I have used SetCPU before (and even the Franco App since I came from the GN) and it would never stick to what I set it to until I used System Tuner. Sticks and stays. I was just wondering, if someone knows, does System Tuner use too much battery or cpu or memory in the background? I liked SetCPU because it wasn't using much of any of that in the background. System Tuner has soo many options that I don't even need.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] slick_shoes:
so I open up System Tuner --> CPU --> turn it down to 1.5ghz --> ?? am I suppose to do something else?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dvaderx:
on nightly 50, in MMS settings the server is set to

http://mmsc.vnet.mobi

google shows that's "china mobile" - is that the correct setting?

edit: i guess it has nothing to do with r50 i just. have never seen it before
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HolyGrail:
Really guys....there are tutorials with Setcpu and System tuner that you can refer to.

Lets not clutter this thread and stay on topic please.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ghilliek9:
He's right...there are awesome threads on this and how to do it. It's very easy adjust btw. DL it, mess with it. The point here is that I've had much better luck with ST than SetCPU. I like SetCPU better as I don't use the other features so once that gets sorted out, i'll be switching back.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SirKronan:
I was planning on doing a full wipe to be safe. Since I'm having stability issues, I figured a clean flash would be better than a dirty flash.

Yep, this is what I was wondering, too. Can you go from 1.3 to the nightly with a dirty flash safely?

I'm probably going to end up biting the bullet and going through the whole wallet mess just to be safe. I really want my S3 to be stable for a change.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] duarian:
No. I think it says in the change log for 1.4 they added a new base so if your coming from anything earlier than 1.4 you need to do a full wipe.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xM Minton Mx:
I figured out the problem. I uninstalled it, re-downloaded it from Google play them only restored data thru titanium.

EDIT... never mind, it's not working again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HolyGrail:
Drop you're cpu speed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] im_on_fire:
I know eschelon updated the sms app to remove the annoying screen on, but I still prefer the stock ICS/JB texting app (not samsung's).

It was posted here before but I'll do it again just so people that want it can grab it.

Just copy it to /system/app/, change permissions to rw-r-r, then rename SecMMS.apk to SecMMS.apk.bak. Then restart and you're done.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] amaury48:
Can you toggle 3g/4g

update: Found the "Phone Info" program in the PlayStore that seems to do the trick........

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dadsterflip:
Yea. I just happened to see 1.9 lol it was butter smooth but 1.5 default is also smooth. I just hate to overclock this new phone lol maybe later on. ATM I don't really need to over clock anything
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zcar.300:
When I searched I found all kinds of stuff about making the NTFS file system work with Android. But I also don't know if it means the same thing in this context.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] baudi11:
NTFS

Eschelon,

You said in this post that Ziggy's kernel includes NTFS. Is that the NTFS file system, or does the acronym refer to something else?

Amazon app market will not install ?

Have not seen anyone else having this problem did the forum search did the google thing & I have from unknown sources checked in security and I rebooted the phone am running R46

I downloaded the apk from amazon 3 times - when I get to the install screen the install button does nothing its not grayed out it just will not install

The cancel button works no problem?

I have not had any problem installing any other apps

Can someone tell me what silly thing Im doing wrong or is this a compatibility issue with the os?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Nckmsn:
So I ended up forwarding my phone to my office line so I could at least receive my calls. For some reason the forward didnt work correctly so I unforwarded and everything went back to normal. I wonder why the forward then unforward fixedmy problem. Did I lose my imei then the forwarding restored it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jb_alphamale:
Same here. I had to reboot either the phone or the computer to get MTP again. There is definetely room for improvement on this topic.

The rest works just fine and smooth.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rfranken:
I have the app installed and working well...BUT I installed it through a Titanium Backup restore.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] GREGHARKINS:
Install issu

If you have a brightness control program running like Juice Defender etc

turn it off and then try the install

it is an issue with 3rd party controlers and when i had the issue that fixed mine

also JD knows its an issue and has included an installer workaround in there software

---------- Post added at 10:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:32 AM ----------

I noticed today after installing r50 this issue

When a new call comes in the answer gui comes up

you then have a green circle with a green phone in it to slide to accept and a red circle with a red phone in it to reject.(this is normal)

now with the new install, same thing happens but the green phone is very dim or almost missing, still functions as it is supposed to, just caught me of guard today when i went to answer teh phone and the phone icon was missing or very faint
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NxtGenCowboy:
in order to gain use of MTP again, you have to run adb shell unmountsd.. you can also do it via term emulator :cowboy:

Quoted for awesome information that should have been included in the tutorial! My own fault for not spending hours researching the entire process, lol.

Thanks for the info though, seriously.

I'm still going to re-format that machine. Ghosts.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] loonyone:
Good morning, Eschelon!

Thank you for the MMS fix for the screen on problem. That's been bugging me the most of any out-of-the-box issue with the SGS3... That one might just make me switch from 1.6 to the nightlies. The only hang-up I have is that I despise ICS blue and so far I haven't seen any themers doing any other colors that can keep up with your new nightly builds.

Does your team have any plans to bake in some themes? (Or at least some color variants to get away from everything being ICS blue.) There are a few of us watching for a black and white theme, and the only one I've seen for Synergy was built on 1.3. It does work on 1.6, but undoes some of your changes.

Thanks!

Default Calendar Alert "On Time"

This is not a rom issue I have seen this back on root66...

Does anyone use the Samsung default calendar and the alert is set to "On Time" I can select a different alert but it does not stick it goes back to "On Time"

Any solutions if anyone has this same experience?

Think the original OP list a script we can run to go back & forth on the newer roms (I am on r50)...but I still use the gscript lite method....it is all done from the phone for UMS or MTP...no PC needed to switch between the two

I like this because if I am over a friend house and need to drop files on his PC or get files I can go UMS from gscript lite (since I am away from my PC) and put it in USB mode to read the SD card as the devices did prior...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] duarian:
Just curious how you accomplished this with gscript? Anytime I use the command it just says 'device not found'.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] voodoomanx:
From other posts it appears to be related to Google sync and contacts. Not sure what the fix was however.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TelloMan:
Found it, thanks.

The solution:

Settings –> Applications –> Manage Applications –> All (button on the top that lets you see all applications) –> scroll down to “Contacts Storage” –> Click on “Clear Data”.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] schmaltzy:
I saw someone ask about this a while back but there wasn't much response to it. My battery was fine yesterday, but today is draining quick. Looks like "media" is the culprit but I haven't done anything with any type of media today. I forced stored the "media" usage but that's only a temporary fix. Any suggestions?

Anyone have opinions on the synergy kernel vs imoseyon's lean?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] slick_shoes:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] md4dodge:
This was yesterday with no power saver. As u can tell, that was with a lot of use. Screen was on most of the day.

Boot Animation

Are there any plans to put a boot animation for this Rom?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Stam2000:
Are you guys all using cpu editor with ziggys kernel?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DangerIsGo:
I did notice a bug. I'm not sure if its a ROM bug or an android OS bug but when you get a notification (lets say an IM via AIM) on the lock screen and the red notification light is illuminated, it seems as if the proximity sensor is activated so when you were to put lets say your finger over the sensor, the screen with turn off. I don't think this should happen. Anyone else experience this too?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] H2O Rip:
Not yet. While both custom boot and crt animation would be nice - I think those fall into the 'cosmetic change' category and aren't quite as important as features. I suspect down the road they'll get in (hopefully!). Also, I think they might require a change in the kernel so might be a bit trickier.

Flashing to r50 now.

Btw, noticed the file hosting issues from the other day (sluggish download speeds) are gone. Pulled down r50 in a minute or two :)

unlock your bootloader and reflash the rom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] slick_shoes:
Not using anything, I just flashed the kernel and kept the default settings
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Neverendingxsin:
If his bootloader is locked then the rom shouldn't even boot up all the way.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] azbobs:
Yes I'm using the build 46, and is working good. Only thing I noticed more so the first day I flashed 46 the phone seemed to run hotter than normal.

Today everything seems to be running smooth. Was going to flash to 49 holding off, some people are saying the WI-FI is not working.

So with JB just around the corner, almost took JB for a drive will waiting for synergy to release JB once it,s release Aug 29th. before moving forward.

Seems JB is having issues with bt & mm along with losing their ieim, so back it up.

I think this rom is so nice, gr8 work look forward to the future upgrades. Running the darkhorse 1.2 theme

Cheers,

p.s

if you are offened by my spelling

was lack of sleep due to flashing

up 30+ hours - so simmer down....... lol!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zcar.300:
It will if he's using the latest release. It auto magically continues without flashing the kernel if its not unlocked.

I've always enabled force 2D rendering to GPU. Yesterday, I disabled it. My quads went up about 500 points. 2D scores went way up. This is with r50.
