It's not ziggy's kernel for me. I am rinning it and this phone has never had better battery life or performed better.

I personally think it's rouge apps and/user error tbh. No offense, but too many people make crazy tweaks and install mods to the rom and/or restore app or system data and then blame the Rom or Kernel for their mistakes and refuse to admit their tweaking/mods/data restores affect the performance.

I've followed directions and not installed any extra crap or restored data of any kind and I run perfectly with no random reboots or need for a daily reboot.

Maybe I'm just lucky, but I tend to think it's more than luck.

We've just moved to 4.1.2, hence the delay, so all the stuff you guys have been talking about should be addressed shortly

Yes, most of us on the team plan to get the S4. But we're gonna watch and make sure Samsung doesn't do something screwy with SELinux or Knox that locks down the OS somehow (doubtful, but possible since we don't know how it works yet), and I wouldn't be surprised if Verizon locks the BL again. But assuming we can get past those, then yes, you'll see Synergy for the S4

As for porting features, Samsung themselves said they will be moving some features over. But hardware things like the touchless display, remote control (IR blaster), S Health (pedometer), etc all won't ever work since we don't have the needed hardware on the S3.

We had it in the ROM when we were testing on our end and the images were tearing horribly. Probably a lib or something but we just ditched it at that point.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] calaski8123:
I love this ROM but I had better battery life on the stock kernel. Can I boot into recovery and just install again using aroma without a wipe since its the same ROM or should I wipe and install from scratch. I had an older version of this ROM and battery lasted all day. Now its not horrible but I need to charge around 7pm. Not sure if its the newer ROM or kernel but I figured I'd try the kernel since I'm not going to revert to an older ROM.

As for the software from 4.2, can you guys just pick stuff out of touch wiz and add to what we have or do we need to wait for Verizon to actually release the new touch wiz on 4.2?

Great work, thanks!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
You can dirty flash and change kernel. As far as 4.2 it is not even out yet. Will be 2 or 3 months .
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eschelon:
Yes, you can change kernels just by dirty flashing the ROM again and choosing a different kernel.

As for 4.2, we looked through it all and determined we'll probably need a US leak. The international leak contains all the libs for the international hardware which won't work on our model. Theoretically it's possible to reverse engineer the international leak to work with the US variant's hardware, but it would take a lot of time and doesn't really make a lot of sense seeing as SamsungCDMA themselves will probably do it for the US carriers anyway directly from source soon, saving us the work.

When team Synergy moves to the s4, will that mean s3 development will end?

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eschelon:
Fair question. The answer is: I don't know yet. We've already done a lot with the S3. On the one hand, there will likely be some S4 stuff that we could port back to the S3, we just don't know what yet. On the other hand, you guys pretty much have all the features out there (multiwindow, pdroid, stuff from the Note 2, etc) so we're starting to get to a point where there isn't as much to add as there used to be. Plus, as a finance guy, I can't justify spending $700 on a new phone each year so I'm tempted to sell my S3 to subsidize the cost of a new S4.

But before you freak out, again, I haven't decided for sure yet. Would be nice to keep both devices...

Gotta be some Google app you're restoring like Maps or something that is causing your problems. Try clean flashing again and don't restore any apps. See if it continues.

I hope we will have a leak of US Galaxy S4 soon.

Since it will have the new Qualcomm processor, i believe that Synergy team can port it to US Galaxy S3.

Its frameowrk probably should be quite compatible thanks to the similar CPU and GPU.

I use Nova Prime, no problems here. Installed from the Play store.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Weioo:
Good to know. I think it was back when I installed r176ish or something like that, that during install I had a choice of launchers. I thought this later became something built right into Synergy that you could change at any time, but maybe I cam wrong? I thought I read a note somewhere.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bobcaruso:
I use Nova, far superior to what's in most roms
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jpmcnown:
A number of Roms whose developers utilize the Aroma installer allow for the selection of a variety of launchers. Though the options with 373's installer are very slick, there isnt currently a launcher selection. I't been my experience that the most stuff that gets crammed into Aroma, the less likely it's getting installed without issue. Apparently this isn't everyone's experience with other roms, but I always find myself coming back to Synergy.

There is a Synergy Toolbox option that lets you go back into the Aroma installer and make changes after the initial flash.

So, if I took my brother's phone, which had all the same problems, dirty-flashed, and only changed the kernel, and now it works as well as mine.

Did you up the voltages on ziggy's kernel back to stock levels? Not every phone can handle lower volts. I wouldn't blame the kernel for that.

My point is there are tons who use ziggy's kernel with no issues. There are a few that are having issues. Therefore it can not be the kernel that is at fault if it works fine for the majority.

There is no _easy_ way to install pdroid. That stuff is hooked all throughout the framework. OpenPdroid actually broke more things in the background than it helped in last release because of some weird database connection race condition im guessing. If you want to use it somewhere else the connectors are exactly the same as the pdroid ones, just take the framework I released in themes and apps (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2077839) and throw in the android\privacy & privacy\surrogate code from the open pdroid thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2098156 into the framework.

That being said in our next Synergy release most of the pdroid code has been redone. We actually reverted back to the original pdroid2.0 source as they are closer to the code we needed and revamped it for touchwiz from the ground up. Theres so many pdroid versions it makes my head spin, but none of them are meant for touchwiz meaning we kinda had to make our own to get things like verizons network location, carrier text, reading of LTE sim info, imei display and blocking working 100%. The next Synergy release will be awesome with pdroid compatibility, but obviously its a ridiculous amount of work and I have no motivation to keep porting these down to another framework.

I have been on r373 since it came out. In general, everything has worked well but still get weird things every once in awhile. Today, the camera would start up after unlocking even though I did not have it running before I locked. I checked the lock screen settings to make sure the camera shortcut setting was not on.

It is annoying but turned real annoying when I received a phone call but could not answer it because it was stuck on the camera after I unlocked the phone. I tried the home button and the back (soft key) button but couldn't answer the phone.

Anyone else had strange issues like this? This particular issue just started today.

Maybe it was an app I installed?

Yeah I just flashed this rom because I've been looking for a good stable touch wiz ROM and the multi window I really like. However upon using I have to stay it is no where near as stable as I hoped it would be =-( . Some of my main issues are: GPS doesn't lock, the note 2 camera used to work now it FC every time. The SD card will occasionally not be read and then read again (it even wiped everything on it at one point).not sure why im having these issues.. Anyone else have anything like this or know fixes ? Thanks in advanced

I've been unable to run either of the last 2 builds regardless of kernel, tons of freeze ups and FC's for days...

Only issue I'm having with this rom is with cameras. My cameras both suck. They freeze up when loading and become non responsive at times, the flash with delay or not flash at all even with it turned on. Its really annoying because I take a lot of pictures... Makes it hard to capture spontaneity because its taking me too long to get my camera app open and working. Anyone have any kind of issues with their camera and have any idea for fixes?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] stargate125645:
Resetting the APN settings and resetting the phone seems to fix the network data connectivity issues, but I still look forward to a fix in the next Synergy version. Otherwise, this ROM is pretty stable! Great battery life still! Only minor annoyances like the MMS application not linking to phonbook or random freezes others have mentioned that are fixed by screen power off and on.

Don't see how they can write a fix for something that only happens to random devices. I have flashed over a hundred times and have seen none of these problems. :cool:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bobcaruso:
To both of you:

If stargate flashes the stock, rooted 4.1.1 or 4.1.2, and the problem goes away, then flashes 373, and the problem returns, it is the rom, plain and simple. The fact that some phones don't experience this issue speaks nothing as to whether or not the room has a problem
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
We test with 2 different devices. One a 32 gb version and the other a 16. We wipe everything in recovery, sometimes superwipe and sometimes no wipe in Aroma. We restore no data whatsoever only apps. This framework does not like having some data restored. We don't what data it doesn't like so we don't restore any. Run all optimization scripts and Ziggy at lowest voltage. Have never had a problem with either device. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bobcaruso:
You do realize, when any software is modified, testing is performed on hundreds of devices, not one or two. The reason for this rests in the numerous differences with each individual device, as is the nature of electronics & silicon. increasing voltage may account for some of the differences vis-a-vis tolerance levels unique to each device/silicon rev, but don't account for all anomalies. I agree with you in the fact that restoring app data can cause issues in rare cases, but nothing having to do with APN/IMEI issues, that is only manifested in system state not app data.

That said, I do realize that you guys are not Apple/Verizon, and have limited resources, but it still sounds like a rom issue to me.

Are you by chance restoring apps with TiBu? Not the data, just apps? If so, is it asking you to restore your old device ID? The reason I ask is I used to always restore old device ID with no issues. I have tried it the last few builds since aroma was used and restoring it caused me to lose data to the point where I had to Odin to stock to get it back. I just dont restore the old device ID and all is good. Just a thought.

I have this random issue also. Sometimes the APNs just disappear. Could be on WiFi and then no 4g when I need it. Or I could reboot for a reason and then no 4g. Reboots sometimes fix, TWRP nandroid sometimes, or lastly, wipe clean and reinstall rom. At first I thought my EMEI was borked but everthing else works during these "episodes."

Re: ☆ ★ | ROM | SynergyROM VZW S3 | JB 4.1.1 | Multiwindow | PDroid | 2-24-13 r373 |★

That was the same with me. I've actually been flashing and restoring device ID on multiple different phones and never had issues at all. Ever since the aroma installer was implemented here, I would have data working fine after the install. When I'd restore my device ID then bam.....data gone. I have no idea what it does or why it would nuke data, but it happened three times in a row immediately after restoring the ID. Phone would reboot with no data.

I guess it could be a coincidence, but three times? Next time I didn't restore device ID and I'm already good. Data works fine. I'm not claiming to be an expert or that you can't do it without losing data. I'm just saying that it happened to me and I was able to replicate the issue three times.
