It does happen. Whatever revisions they do throughout the day show in the activity and then the latest revision labels the release at midnight. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wmaudio:
The type of cable depends on the input of your TV. I'm not sure about other manufacturers of TVs, but if your TV is a fairly recent Samsung, you can play wirelessly across your WiFi using AllShare Play, which also allows you to control playback of the videos/music/images from the phone itself, and there's no wires needed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
There is also a dongle now available to convert any TV to AllShare capable.

Official "Crack-Flasher" status

ok, i've reached "crack-flasher" status; actually got download #1

and by the way, my phone has had deep sleep on R67 with no problems
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 1ManWolfePack:
Wipe cache/dalvik in recovery before flashing the new one.

Just did it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Stam2000:
That is ****ing crazy
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Mystikalrush:
How is that even possible?!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wmaudio:
I'm not sure this is correct. Doesn't the ROM contain a custom, overclocked kernel? And if so, doesn't that mean in order for me to run a stock kernel, I need to flash something AFTER flashing the ROM?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mrbracht:
I honestly don't know but it's insane. Just had lte now for a few weeks in my area and the speed tests always are around that. But if I go to the Minneapolis area they are maybe half that speed
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] duarian:
As far as I know. You cannot use the stock kernel with this ROM anymore. Since a lot of the modules and stuff are changed to be based on the new kernel. I think your options are imuyo's kernal, ziggys or the kt747 one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wmaudio:
I'm fine with Ziggy's kernel, I just don't want the CPU speeds messed with. I want it to run however it is supposed to run. I don't have SetCPU installed or ROM Toolbox or any of those apps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 1ManWolfePack:
Well, I guess I'm an anomaly :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wmaudio:
So Scott's CleanKernel has no overclocking or messing with factory kernel settings?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] duarian:
Clean kernel OCs it to 1.89. I suggest using KT's 747 kernel. It comes with an app for CPU control and does not touch the stock frequencies. It does however enable you to lower it to 96 mhx minimum if you so choose. Otherwise its Samsung default.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XTRoRDiNAiRE:
just flashed latest nightly and its doing that annoying OC thing again..no cpu app seems to control it right

why the change again??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gowansta:
Represent! Minnesota love!

Last one here is a penis pump!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ali87va:
Is the download for the latest nightly slow for anyone else? 10 minutes and its only at 2%....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Metfanant:
the 747 kernel has TONS of tweaks...its far from "Samsung default" and it also overclocks as well (up to 2.1ghz)...but by default it doesnt...you have to check the box in the settings to enable overclocking
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] duarian:
It is default by frequencies. That is all I meant. It doesn't default to higher than samsungs max. The governor and scheduler are the same as well (though there are a ton to choose from, I'm a fan of on demand). All he may have done is under volt, I'm not exactly sure. I'm using it now and it works fine, I tuned it down to 1.24 as well and 96 minimum.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Metfanant:
yes youre right the frequencies are stock out of the box (i believe its undervolted though)

---------- Post added at 02:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:27 AM ----------

just install system tuner...slide the max cpu frequency to 1512 and change it to set at boot and youre fine...

Correct me if I am wrong :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RCOVA:
When it's really low I can't use it (like 5%) but I would also like to be able to use the flash too. It's dark, phones dying, alien comes to talk to you, can't take a pic, then everyone thinks your crazy. Don't want that to happen to me ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wmaudio:
I'm going to give the KT747 kernel a try. Thanks for the response. I notice that it comes with a custom boot animation, however I like the standard Samsung animation. Do you know where I can get that animation and how I'd implement it? Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] stephenj37826:
Where are you getting thus kt747 kernel?

The one I've found is AOSP jellybean?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wmaudio:
He made a Sammy version. In the thread, you can see someone asked what that was, and it was explained that it was the Samsung version, not AOKP. Just download and flash the Sammy version.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bobby janow:
Please take out maps and titanium or put the latest versions in. Thanks. Everything running flawless.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xXJay_RXx:
Or you can just update them yourself?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Metfanant:
obviously he knows he can update them, but i think all he was saying is that it would be easier to include the latest versions of those apps then having to download the updates every day when you flash the nightly considering those apps are not updated all that much...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bobby janow:
You are correct. I can understand it for an RC release, but these are updated nightlies that aren't updated accordingly. And yes, it's not that big a deal, however, I have a problem with maps update. I'm not sure if anyone else sees this but this is my experience, and you need BBS to see it. When the maps get updated every morning after the flash the wakelock is sky high. Within 30 minutes I have well over 200 wakes due to maps. Then I reboot and it goes away and battery drain resumes normal functioning. So it's a double boot and something perhaps others are not aware of. Anyway, I love the nightlies and if it can't be done so be it. No flame war here it's not that important.

Running r66 after a full wipe and everything is perfect!!! This is the experience I bought the gsiii for. U guys rock. Well worth several drinks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 1ManWolfePack:
Had to switch my governors, but we're sleeping like a baby now....

Good stuff

---------- Post added at 08:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:21 AM ----------

Have you noticed that no matter what version of maps is included in a ROM, it always "updates to latest version" upon first open?

I don't think putting the newer version in will stop that. I've noticed it with every install I've had since my Nex, and that's with different sets of gapps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bobby janow:
I guess that's possible, except the same thing happens with Titanium, which leads me to believe the latest version is not included. Not sure, however.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jurassitol:
I just flashed r68 (dirty from last night's build) and I think this was the first time in a long time that both Google Maps and Titanium Backup did not immediately download updates...problem solved on my end :)

Update: Titanium Backup and MobileODIN did ask for SuperSU permissions on 1st launch of app. No big deal.

my GPS has been giving me wrong directions and nearly got me killed yesterday.

aynone else have problems with this? is there a fix? This is a dealbreaker for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] biff6789:
I believe someone said earlier in the thread that Samsung acknowledged there was a GPS bug on their end and they were going to fix it in a future update.

Which GPS app are you using? If it was maps or some third party app then I do not think E can fix that since apps are really out of his control and need to be fixed by the app developers themselves.

This actually happens often in this thread. It's ok to mention that a particular app isn't working right, but what do you guys expect E to do about it? Do you think it's his job to fix apps in the market now too?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ddurandSGS3:
theres 710 pages of bugs being posted, so i added mine.

i was told to take a right on my GPS, and i did, and i was supposed to be taking a left. I was listening to my GPS, not watching it because i was unfamiliar with the area. I Turned down a one way and nearly got killed. Id think this was a pretty serious bug, you know, since people can die or get injured.

Im using the stock navigation app. it didnt happen stock thats why i posted it here. I use GPS often and need it to be working 100%.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Waldo_:
Vralg1?

I have been flashing these, well nightly but even after a complete wipe I can't get the vralg1 radio. Am I doing something wrong?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jlmr731:
Dont you check your direction before you drive?

Maybe you should pay attention to the road and not your phone, may have a beeter chance of not killing yourself

+1

E has mad a great ROM Hats off to you and the team.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Glasairmell:
Yes take some responsibility here and please stop blaming everything thing that happens to your phone on the ROM. It is an operating system. Also a phone GPS navigation system is an aide not an autopilot.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ddurandSGS3:
im not trolling.

why isnt this a serious issue? I was looking at the road. I was in an unfamiliar city and there was no sign.

The GPS told me where to go, so I went.

Have you never driven with a GPS? Isnt that its purpose? to help you reach your destination? Of course I skim my directions before I drive. but can you remember 15-20 street names required for a 2 hours drive?

Why is listening to my phone, enclosed in my flip case, dangerous? its no different than any other GPS setup ive ever seen.

this didnt happen with stock touchwiz. I use GPS everyday. Its only since installing the ROM.

I love the ROM, im just looking for an answer because its pretty important.

Just looking for answers to my problem. Damn guys.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] biff6789:
Well we certainly don't want you to get hurt. I had the same thing happen to me once when Navigation was new and still in beta. Cars were honking and it took me like 20 seconds before I realized that I was driving the wrong day down a one-way street.

Also, my comment about the apps was more of a generic comment. People are in this thread complaining about third party apps all the time and asking E for fixes so I figured I'd say something as well.

If the area is close then replicate your same route and see if Navigation tells you to turn the wrong way down that same street again. If it does then it is a problem with Google's street database and not the app or the ROM.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Glasairmell:
Ok sorry about that then. Yes I use this ROM in my airplane running AnywhereMap app. A very serious application of this ROM.

However while I am flying every now and then the GPS can drop or show an erroneous reading. This has happened on every single device I have flown with since GPS was available on handhelds.

Now there are some VERY expensive GPS systems that are extremely dependable for IFR approaches, but a telephone turned into a multi-function super machine is NOT one of them.

That is why I keep my head outside the cockpit and use GPS as an aide and have backup instruments that tell me if I am on course or not.

Every now and then your GPS navigation system is going to hick-up and you have to be prepared for it. We call that GPS voice *****ing Betty and she is not perfect on car navigation systems.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] duarian:
It does not have a custom animation. You still keep the synergy animation. IIRC the sprint version has a custom boot animation...not our ICS one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ddurandSGS3:
i understand that, and thank you. Maybe it was a hiccup. Ive been using smartphone GPS for a few years now and never had it happen.

It seemed like a serious bug and thought it should be reported here.

Im only trying to help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ylexot:
It is a serious issue, but it has nothing to do with the ROM.

where can i find KT747 kernel?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mapatton82:
I have had a few instances where google navigation told me my destination was on the right when it was actually on the left.

This being said it is a Google Maps issue not the rom. I know most GPS manufactures have a way to report issues in navigate since they can never be 100% accurate. I haven't checked but I would assume Google would have something similar.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Metfanant:
completely irrelevant post...its still reasonable to think that it wont tell you to turn the wrong way down a one-way...don't even try to tell me you've never been in an unfamiliar place and made a wrong turn...

it may very well be a Google Maps issue, but he experienced it while running Synergy...and there is no reason to jump on the guy for simply ASKING if more people were experiencing it...ROMs can cause all sorts of wonky issues with incompatibility...not saying Synergy causes many of these problems but its possible that it could...everyone decided to label me a troll for having an issue with the fact that even though it performs better in real-world performance Synergy causes benchmark scores to be significantly lower in some tests...not a real issue, but something is causing it...its reasonable to think that a ROM could cause an issue with one of the sensors or something related to GPS...

---------- Post added at 12:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:24 PM ----------

go into your app drawer...the kernel installs its own app for controlling these things (KTweaker i believe its called)...you have to go into the settings and enable the overclocking steps...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Sccrluk9:
People get annoyed when the issue has nothing to do with the ROM. His issue is 100% a Google Maps issue and to yours benchmarks still dont mean jack. JB in most cases has lower benchmarks than ICS but JB is by far smoother.

Relevant post. When you use the app it tells you that the directions may be wrong/dangerous and to use your eyes and look for signs. The app is only a supplemental one and should not be 100% relied on
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Metfanant:
how do you KNOW that? you don't...i agree that i would say 99% chance its not ROM related...but he EXPERIENCED it while running this ROM...there is NO harm in asking...except for the terribly unhelpful attitude that people on this forum have towards others...its actually rather disgusting...

there is ABSOLUTELY no reason for people to be "annoyed" by the question he asked...if it truly did annoy you...its time you put down your CELL PHONE and go spend some time with your family or friends...or maybe peel yourself off your chair and head outside and have a catch or something and rejoin the real world for a half hour...because there are much bigger issues to get annoyed with than someone asking for help on an internet forum

im not getting into this again...but you're completely missing the god damn point...i even said in my post that there is NO REAL WORLD PERFORMANCE CORRELATION...but something about Synergy is causing the scores to be lower...that is an indisputable FACT...end of story..

smoothness is no more a reflection of pure performance than a benchmark is either...Launcher Pro made my Droid X MUCH MUCH smoother...but it didn't make my hardware any better...or raise the framerate in games...the iPhone 4S is EXTREMELY smooth...but i wouldn't expect it to have the hardware grunt of my SGS3...smoothness is just as irrelevant as benchmarks

yeah and when you get on an airplane it MIGHT not fly right...but you expect it to....

he said himself he was in an unfamiliar place...and did not see a sign...he also said he WAS watching the road INSTEAD of the GPS but the voice told him to turn the wrong way...

youre absolutely right that the app tells you the directions may be wrong...and youre absolutely right that it should not 100% be relied on...but that does not mean you expect it...quite the opposite...that warning is simply a disclaimer so Google can cover their own butts should something terrible happen you cant go back and file a lawsuit saying Google got you in an accident...

I am running this kernel and it's the best I have used so far. I've tried imo, clean kernel and ziggy's. This one is great and has a ton of governors. And the battery life with it is insane! I'm sitting here still with 60% battery life left after 17 hours. 1 and a half hours of on screen time.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eschelon:
Play nice kids :)

ddurrandSGS3, I had the same exact thing happen to me once about a year or so ago and it was a most unfortunate detour to say the least...

Your comment that this is a "deal breaker" for you suggests that you feel that Synergy is the problem, but the ROM includes completely stock GPS files so I'd like to get a little more information from you. Is the area close? If so, would you mind driving back there with nav turned on and see if the same thing replicates itself?

One of two things likely happened: 1) The GPS signal was lost and while re-trilaterating it thought you were heading the opposite direction (which is less likely as the Navigation app's algorithm is designed to avoid this issue), or 2) the more likely issue is that GPS did know exactly where you were (since it told you to drive on a road right where you exactly were) but Google's database is incorrect and is unaware that the road is a one-way street. The latter has been known to happen with Google's street database and they have a function wherein you can report such anomalies. This is why the refuse to move the app out of beta status as it removes liability from them as one-offs are going to occur once in a while.

Let me know if you can replicate it :) If you want to go full on cazy drive the route on Synergy then nandroid back to stock and drive the route again. That'll for sure tell if it was the ROM or not

only random reboot ive EVER had with this phone was on r67...have not had any on r68...but it hasn't been installed all that long either...part of the problem with flashing nightlies is its difficult to track down if its a particular build causing issues

i think i agree on this...747 is AWESOME...ive had zero issues running it...i have not tried Clean Kernel...and only ran imo's while testing out a problem to see if it was kernel or ROM related...but with Ziggy's i seem to have problems where my CPU1 never comes back on line with certain governors...have not had any problems like that with 747...it might be the best out there for us right now

and E's post is exactly what im talking about!...there is no need to get pissed off at someone for asking a question...instead of simply dismissing the problem as irrelevant and the person as a troll people should try to help...i was very happy that E took the time after i first moved to Synergy to help me figure out what was causing an app (Plume) to FC constantly on Synergy...turned out to be the ad blocking...

btw Level Up seems to have fixed that problem with Plume because i no longer have to remove the ad-blocking every time i flash a nightly :good:
