Had some spare time today to get some more mods done. Just pushed commits that allow the volume keys work as camera shutter toggles and I added some hacks that resemble Project Butter style animation smoothness and other system speed enhancements.

Also just added a flashable to the OP in the mods section that will get you the on screen nexus style buttons since there were some that wanted it. HOWEVER, I want to advise that you should not just take that flashable, stick it on your SD card, and flash it for the rest of the time you own this phone without regard. It contains a build.prop which changes often and WILL cause you problems if you flash it once it is outdated. I will update that flashable as needed

:)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DangerIsGo:
Ah yes, my mistake. I completely forgot about the 'Optimizing Apps' dialog that comes up. Sorry OP!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] GREGHARKINS:
Reboot

I noticed the same thing and figured out it was the rebuild

The different is with the Synergy animation, you loose the rebuilding progress indicator to let you know something is going on

Maybe you should add in an indicator and make the boot animaiton smaller along the top of the screen or put a progress bar along the top while it rebuilds the indexes etc.

Just a thought

i know i freaked out the first time i flashed a nightly with the boot animation and all i seen was the synergy animation, i thought i was in a boot loop lol

Been noticing that I rarely get above 2-3 bars and had some issues with data turning off and on inside my parents house. I'm running r55 with the ziggy kernel that comes with the rom. Is the signal strength terrible or is this normal levels with this phone/rom? What should I do to raise signal strength? Thanks for the help guys! Everyone is always so helpful.

Wifi Issues

I have noticed alot of talk about the WIFI dropping out etc.

I have not had that problem until R56 and R60

Yes i did the dirty and clean flashes etc

so i did the fix someone else tried and it helped my

that was:

phone dailer

*#0011#

then choose wifi

then turn off the sleep feature

so far i have had 100% non drop on wifi
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Metfanant:
Dock mode activstes fine, except Samsung left out an actual dock app to turn on so you have to go download one...the official Google car home app is around to download...if I remember later I'll post a link...

Would be cool if it could be incorporated into Synergy...

Well...now that you guys know its happening then the indicator doesn't need to be added...just remember that if you wipr cache(particularly dalvik) IRS going to take longer...

I guess I'm just used to it because the Droid X never had such an indicator... but I personally think its completely unnecessary... and would rather just have the Synergy boot animation...

I've noticed a possible bug in the stock browser. When I start typing into the search box on Google I get the list of suggestions that pop up below the box. When I tap one of the suggestions, it doesn't put the text in the box and execute the search like normal. Nothing happens at all except the suggestion box disappears. Tapping the arrow instead will put the suggestion in the search box like it should though.

I've noticed this on r50 and r60, not sure about before that. I've also cleared data on the browser and the problem persisted. Anyone else have this issue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] UT_Smokey:
Seen this myself here on r60. It's been around for a while though, before the nightlies started up (as I recall).

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Sycobob:
Personally, I'm not picky. As long as it works, I'm happy. (Leaning towards ICS+)

That just means it's Samsung's fault. Definitely a bug.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bobby janow:
Absolutely. This browser stinks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HolyGrail:
Thanks....going to wait for tonight's nighty. Fingers crossed :fingers-crossed:.

I also like the stock browser, but a flashable ics browser could be nice.

For me, I've had this issue since stock. I notice it ever since I first got my phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] itzwolf:
The only browser I use is Chrome... See no need for anything else, especially when you use it to sync with your desktop bookmarks and open tabs.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] UT_Smokey:
Never bothered me that much. I'm trying out the ICS Browser + now. I'll try to have an opinion later. :) Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Glasairmell:
Same.

However when you go to JB I am going to sideload Flash and FirefoxBeta to be able to view flash sites. MoDaCo paulobrien did a custom browser to handle flash sites on his ROM for the Nexus 7.

I know that html5 is going to take over from flash however there are still sites that use flash like educational (no not porn lol) sites.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Neverendingxsin:
E, might I suggest since some of us don't use Google voice and enjoy the volume hack either adding a return to normal volume zip in the extras section, or adding a volume hack zip to the extras section. This way whichever you decide to do people would still have the option to have it or not :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eschelon:
Easier said than done. It's a kernel tweak so a flashable would be a bad idea as you would all miss out on all the future kernel additions we make :(

With this mod it's either all in or all out
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wmaudio:
I did a factory reset and flashed r60. I then did the setup, synchronized my contacts and whatnot with Google, then used TB to restore, via XML, my text messages. TB hangs, and all existing texts are gone, all contacts are gone, and I can't connect to anything via WiFi. The only way I can get out of this is to either restore a previous backup or wipe all data again. However, when I do that, TB (from the original flash) is gone. Anyone have any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Sycobob:
Just out of general curiosity, is it possible to have the build perform multiple builds (whether whole ROMs or just specific parts)? Assuming you can set it up off a single code base but add/remove an individual commit for a second build. Could open the door to a fair amount of customizability, at the trade off of uniformity/support.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sydewayz:
Hey guys, on 1.7 here because I cant figure out which nightlie to even go with :p

Anyways, been running 1.1 for a few months now until I upgraded to 1.7 yesterday.

Rom is great as usualy. Heres the thing - SMS (<120) works fine and MMS works fine, but when I send an SMS over 120 characters the message fails with the error code (in the details) of Addr.Trns.

My guess is that stands for Address Translation/Transfer, but what does it mean and has anyone else seen this?

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] blestsol:
Loud mod is great... I'd rather lose out on Google voice.

Not trying to come off entitled but think you could make two kernels? Unless it's not that simple.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gkrules:
Are the Project Butterish hacks on the kernel or the actual ROM?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eschelon:
That's a fair question. It's definitely possible. We actually did that in the past. The problem is that some people start flashing the wrong thing all the time due to lack of research (some of our previous threads are full of comments from people wondering why an updated rom.zip that is only 20 megs in size is a non-booter after they just did a full wipe of /data and /system in recovery). It also forces us to track and update 2 and 3 versions of the same file at a time and it becomes very difficult to maintain. Flashable zips with mods are also difficult as people tend to flash stuff long after it's outdated cuz they just put them on their SD cards and flash them in perpetuity for the rest of the time they own their phone. These reasons discouraged us from doing what you ask. Not saying we won't try again in the future, but it's a very high maintenance model.

I still post flashables for you guys (a quick glance at the OP will confirm this), but the secret is I hate doing it for all the aforementioned reasons :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ruddogg:
Personally I only use Chrome...across all platforms, the sync is great...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eschelon:
Not kernel based
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Sycobob:
I figured this was the case, and was only curious. I certainly wouldn't want/expect you to have to jump through such hoops. Especially for stuff that's mostly minor at the end of the day. Any reader with enough of a vested interest could teach themselves to do it anyway.

Thanks for the info.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eschelon:
And like I stated, your request is certainly not out of the question. We just have to find a balance between customization on your end and maintenance on our end.

What we really need is a "Tweaks" like app that the HTC kids have...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] x86cpu:
:( I like the vol buttons as zoom in/out. If I keep the SamsungCamera.apk from r60 will that be sufficent to keep the vol as zoom in/out? Or do I have to keep some other changes too? (I have a script that I use to make a flashable mod to mute the Camera sounds, and change some icons on the status bar to my liking, also updates the boot animation differently, fairly trivial to keep the SamsunCamera.apk if I need to). Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] M_T_M:
Ewww...he said HTC :eek:

trololololol :silly:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] blestsol:
Well that kinda answers my question.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Cowboys86:
This is definitely still an issue. Just grabbed the newest build as of last night and I still can't get it to remember VPN connections. Otherwise, the ROM works great for me. For now, I'm using VpnRoot instead of the built in functionality, but this isn't ideal at all. I hope this gets resolved soon. It's extremely easy to reproduce:

Go to VPN connections, create a vpn connection with anything in it and save.

Go back to home, then go back through settings to VPN connections and it's gone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eschelon:
Just take the SamsungCamera.apk from /system/app/ of an older build and drop it into /system/app/ of future builds and set perms to 644 (rw-r--r--) and reboot. If you need I can create a flashable :)

EDIT: I'll just make a flashable to get back the zoom functionality. Everyone be advised that it will kill the "vol key as a shutter toggle" functionality. Should be available in like 5 mins
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] x86cpu:
:good:Thanks!! Just an idea, anyway to make the power button or home button the shutter? (Is there a method to attempting this, I'd try if I knew more of what I was looking for).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eschelon:

Did a dirty install coming from clean rom. Day one going smoothly and hopefully the next ones coming up!

This might be a weird request but any way of double clicking the home button to activate the application switcher? I currently use the long menu press for Google now and prefer to have the button for app switching
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Weioo:
I'm still newer to Android and today realized the permissions that apps request. Before I was quick to just accept & go. I was about to install an app that is requesting a LOT of permissions. Phone calls, hardware controls (pics/vids at any time), and network communication (SMS I believe). My questions are simple.

1. Do certain custom mods, like Synergy here (I LOVE THIS MOD BTW!!!), already implement certain things into the mod to disable some of these features? I understand this is a mod-by-mod basis if so. Does Synergy do anything to disable this crap?

2. How worried do I have to be about this? Will the app literally take pics and send them out without my knowledge? Or is it only the pics I take it can send out? How does this work?

3. Which of the permissions that apps request do I really need to keep an eye on and watch out for? AKA, what could take info/pics that I dont want it to?

4. Is Anti-Virus software REALLY necessary since I'm all rooted and such? I read articles saying it's useful and others saying it doesn't even provide much protection, and the chance to get something is quite rare if you only use google play/android market?

I understand some may feel I am asking these questions in the wrong forum. I figured it was related because question #1. I'm sure many people can answer the others and figured I'd keep them together.

Thanks in advance for any and all help. I ditched Apple and AT&T for this thing, and with it being rooted, I am unbelievably happy I made the switch to both VZW and the S3! AWESOME phone, screen size, and customization!

Ziggy's kernel has been updated with a fix for the cpu1 offline bug that some were seeing. It will be included in tonight's nightly.

Also, as promised, I have updated the OP with a direct link to a flashable version of the Ziggy kernel. This is only needed by those who flash alternate kernels and want to get back to Ziggy's without the need to flash a full 700 meg rom.zip :good:

Link is here. Please no mirrors per Ziggy's request: http://www.ziggy471.com/downloads/z471-I535-ICS-082912-0542.zip

BBS XDA edition working fine for me on r60 w/ imo's 0.5 kernel. I recall having to launch it manually from app drawer once after updating to the nightly which has SuperSU so that it could ask for root permissions again. After that it's been smooth.

You know that's like asking for support on Windows95 these days ;) There's been 60 versions SINCE 1.7 lol.

There was a flashable fix(not sure if it's been kept in the old releases or not) or you can just update to the nightlies. r50 - 55 seem to have the fewest people running into problems. If you do upgrade beyond 1.7 DO NOT FORGET TO UNLOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER FIRST... :victory:

I'm experiencing a bit of a problem...well two actually and am not sure if they are related to each other: Bluetooth and mobile data.

First off, when I connect to bluetooth in my car and use my cars headset to talk, its choppy..hearing every other word and very broken speech. I'll switch it over to the earpiece and i'll be just fine. I never had this issue on my 3GS with the same equipment in the car so its definitely the phone.

Secondly, mobile reception. I've noticed that when I am outside, I'll be 4 bars or so on LTE with no issues. When I'm inside, it struggles with 3G and 3G is slow! the speeds remind of AT&Ts 2G with the iPhone 3GS I had prior. 3G should not be like that. Sometimes, I'll show I have signal, but no signal quality. This irks me a lot as it'll say 3 bars on 3G, but trying to access the internet or navigate the play store is a dog (and sometimes doesn't even go, it times out). Voice will be the same thing. Incoming speech is choppy unless I'm completely under 4G LTE.

Any ideas? Should I odin back to stock and see if it still does it? Possibly bad hardware? Or could it *potentially* be an issue with the ROM/kernel?
