I like the lean clean "feel" of AOSP over TW even if some verizon apps don't work. CM10 was my DD for awhile but the stability of even the stable builds was lacking which is the only reason I left it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Excessiveidling:
One of the major issues I had with any of the jb roms was photos not saving to the external sd card... Short of that I too like the cleaner feeling of cm10 or the like.... So a happy medium is cleanrom :) gets rid of most of the bs for a nice lean mean clean rom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bobloblaw1:
Kind of crap mods in the theme section can help make things feel even more aosp- like

(Yes this is clean Rom)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bobloblaw1:
I'd go with no since this is flash memory. It's technically harmful since you would be doing a lot of unnecessary writing thereby minimally reducing NAND life for no benefit.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Craigerz:
just curious why was Clean Kernel removed?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BrUhNiGGs:
He is wating till the new source is released as said in the OP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tedescop:
Samsung really needs to get a move on and release source for kernal and JB for the best phone on the Market!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Coderedpl:
If i odin'ed my phone to VRALHD factory stock, then rooted, unlocked, flashed clean rom, do I still need to do the update to get it?

Can anybody tell me what the recommended steps are for odin restore to stock for a fresh clean stock? Can we odin the g7 image? or does it need to be G1 and then update to g7?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] x-y-no:
I haven't actually checked to see what's inside the VRALHD odin package, but I presume it includes all the firmware including the resource and power management partition.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Coderedpl:
That's what i assumed too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] guthrien:
The fact that the Verizon Nexus just got JB doesn't fill me with confidence for our phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kujayhawks77:
Samsung does need to move on the kernel source code. JB is on Verizon. JB has dropped for the international version and we've seen leaks for AT&T and T-Mobile so I have to believe it's on Verizon. (Anyone remember how long it took the fascinate to be updated to GB after all the other carriers had it for their versions of the Galaxy S?)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Oh dont say that.... Please, dont say that....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kujayhawks77:
Trust me I don't want to! Hopefully Verizon is on the ball with this unlike some of my previous phones (fascinate and t-bolt, OG DROID, Inc2 and Rezound weren't too bad...) Could be worse.. My wife got her Inc4 the day after HTC pulled the ability to unlock the bootloader because of big red.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 1Android:
So I should rename the gsiff.daemon? I looked at my gsam and had a long list under my android system.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jonesj8:
Lookout is draining my battery. Does anyone else recccomend any security app to scan off market apps for malware and such that isn't a battery hog. Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kujayhawks77:
I don't personally use one but my wife uses Avast and I don't see too much of a battery drain on her phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] davidnc:
I have been using lookout for a long time.I use other features besides the malware feature the most.

I may turn on the malware scan feature once a week to do a scan and as soon as it's done turn it back off.

I haven't noticed any battery drain at all.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fillyo:
My NFC does not work, can someone provide a link to their working version. Thanks..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tedescop:
This is the only downfall with Verizon, this is why I keep my Verizon Nexus around and haven't sold it yet. It is a great toy that helps me fulfill my crack flash needs with the latest OS always available.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sipple31:
whose court is the ball in with these JB releases? Samsung or Verizon? JB has been out for quite some time... so i'm guessing it's Verizon adding their bloat CRAP and stabilizing the build?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sfobrien:
Yes and that was a joke. Like others I blame Verizon for the delays. It takes time to screw up and lock down a good OS ! When it does come out Scott will fix it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tu3218:
Try uninstalling an reinstall it. Mine doesn't drain the battery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sfobrien:
Been using Lookout for awhile also and no battery drain issues at all. Hopefully new install will fix you up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jonesj8:
I'll try to reinstall lookout later. I'm currently trying trend micros app. And everything is fine. I'll prob switch back to lookout but thanks for the input guys
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Nnyan:
I've had this happen a few times and spoken with the DEVs. It seems like some software (and this can happen to most if not all AV software) can cause a conflict and force LO to eat up battery. In my case it was a task manager type program that I was checking out, remove that and Lookout dropped off the battery use map.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JeepSRT8:
Well that didn't last long. Went over to try the new JB rom for a few days, but battery life was no where near what i was getting/need, so restored back to 2.5 Clean...Its nice not having to worry about the phone and just use the phone...

I did like the galaxy note camera and gallery app..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sebastianraven:
Ok... so two quick issues that have come up since moving to this ROM:

#1. My display dims when watching video and I can't figure out why.

#2. My GPS (*using stock Navigation) says "600 feet" regardless of what its actually supposed to say.

Anyone got any ideas on this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jbdan:
1. The video player has its own independent brightness setting found within the player itself > menu > settings

2. I used the AGPS fix posted in this forum it helped me a lot ymwv
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sebastianraven:
1. Thanks for the find. I can't believe I kept missing it. I think its because I tired to access the menu while in landscape mode.

2. I tried the AGPS but am still getting a problem with the lock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MrBrady:
Regarding #2, are you saying the Nav is actually giving you the same verbal direction over and over? In 600 feet, in 600 feet, etc. When it should be saying in 600 feet turn right on Elm Street. Turn right, etc?

I've noticed Google Nav does that and it's not ROM-specific. The only way I've found to fix it is to clear data for Google Maps. I've been trying to figure out what causes this. So far the only thing I've found that MIGHT cause it is fixing permissions in TWRP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sebastianraven:
Yeah. That's exactly what I'm saying. I decided to clear the data and fix permissions in CWM. That seems to fix the problem. Now I'm happy again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jonesj8:
So anyone using system tuner. What is your favorite CPU profile for balanced speed no lag and battery life. I keep switching from the msm one and on demand. Also what about your memory tweak settings? Those always confuse me how much cache I should make it and what profile. Thanks guys for your opinions
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 1Android:
ANYONE have an answer or fix to why Android OS is so high??? posted earlier with no real solution other than a mention of gsiff.daemon. There is a long list in my Android OS list, I dont know what looks normal and what I can try to rewrite.

Yesterday my android OS was 81%!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pschatz12:
You performed the OTA to G7 then rooted and flashed 2.5?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 1Android:
No I'm still on 2.1 with 3.0.8 -v1.0 kernel. My phone was stable and smooth, I didn't want to mess with it. I was averaging 20+ hours battery life and everything worked great. I haven't changed anything and then all of a sudden ran into this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pschatz12:
Flash the zip from the OTA update that is in the thread a ways back... Or Odin back to stock and take the OTA... Reroot and flash 2.5...you won't regret it the improvements are tremendous
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hank3fan:
Here's the zip. http://db.tt/Z4wIn4Bx
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bby144:
I wouldn't say that they are tremendous at all. Until Samsung released the source for the kernel and 2.5 gets a clean kernel 2.1 is smoother and more responsive
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] antawnm26:
Is there a consensus as to Lhd vs Lg7 which is smoother?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] krbernier:
andriod is updating on every reboot

i odined back to stock, took the OTA, rooted ,unlocked and flashed the hd radio. i also flashed google now which seems to keep poping up the same thing over and over so i shut it off. Every time i reboot i get the "android is updating" message. does anyone else get this? otherwise my phone is running great except for a FC issue with Thechive app and facebook. They FC randomly a few times a day.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Excessiveidling:
Regarding the high system usage....If I were to guess I'd say if you have any sort of virus scanning/anti theft apps installed THAT may be the cause of high system usage (especially if you have root and installed it as a system app). Just a hypothesis though. I've noticed that since I've installed avast I've had higher than usual android system usage (not 80% or anywheres near that by any means but moreso than I had without it). I am running cr2.5 after doing an oden then ota update then flash to cr2.5.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] p-slim:
Android system /Os is destroying my battery also. I took the ota then rooted and applied this rom. I don't have any virus scanners (those are completely useless on an Android phone) so I'm not sure what the problem is
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] springsyeti:
Have you rebooted and the problem persists?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tillithz:
i dont see how this is a problem? it looks like you have had the screen on a majority of the time and been using the os and maps. The screen shot looks just fine with 55% battery remaining.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] guyd:
+1

I don't see a problem with his screenshot. The battery graph has nice flat lines, and normal down curves when he's actively using it. It looks normal to me!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] p-slim:
I haven't been using maps, I may have opened once. I think my phone has a problem locking gps which is causing maps to run in the background
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tillithz:
to be honest it still doesnt look like a problem. Check your location settings and turn it off and see. but 11 hours of moderate use and having 55% battery left is decent. Just think you "could" use the phone again the following day in the same way and get 2 days of use out of that charge.... pretty decent really.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] p-slim:
That would be great but 8 hours of that is deep sleep cause I was sleeping, lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tillithz:
if you were sleeping then the screen wouldnt be on..... not sure what to make of that then sorry
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] p-slim:
Yeah I was just surprised that the 3 hours while I was actually awake using the phone 50% power was gone and it was attributed to maps and android os when I wasn't using maps. Thanks for all the help from everyone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ponyboy82:
I kept having the Maps-battery issue until I turned off the Google location services option. I also tried to go through any apps that use location services and disabled what I could. It seems like any location request is report as "Maps" instead of the app actually requesting the location. I'm not sure of an easy way to see what apps/services are calling it though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tu3218:
Anyone have a working version of Google now. I tried to install v7 an somehow I still have old Google search. Anyone have this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] antawnm26:
May have to manually install if you flashed the zip n it was a no go
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tu3218:
I've flashed it before an it worked. I'm not sure if it got corrupted or what.

Edit: redownloaded an flashed. Worked
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] khanooo:
Text Messages not working

Folks, this is most likely an extremely retarded, noob question. But here it goes.

I flashed this ROM which btw is amazing, however I am unable to receive any text messages. I can send them fine but cannot receive any text or MMS messages. I have cleaned and reflashed 3 - 4 times now and am still coming across this issue.

any ideas?

I tried searching this thread but couldnt find anything relative.

Thanks in advance,

Khan
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cjoc:
Battery life is great for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tee00max:
I think I have to go through a few charge cycles to get the maximum out of my battery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ascssmith:
That's exactly what I had to do with my phone... after 2 charges my phone lasts more then 1 day
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] guyd:
Boot into Recovery, and run Fix Permissions
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] morrichad:
Yeah your battery life looks real good, my concern is that your Android OS seems still aweful high though. What is your total Screen On time like, can you post a screen shot of that by chance. I think anything of 3+ hours really shows your getting decent to excellent battery life of a proper repeated charge.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] josh995:
Are there any special steps I should take going from CM10 to this?

Do I really need to go back to stock before I flash this or can I do the usual wipes and be OK?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] guthrien:
Usual wipes are absolutely fine. You might be sure to format system, though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chill145:
here's a new one. i was connecting a usb drive to my phone today like i've done in the past. i got the message saying mass storage. i opened root explorer to find the directory, couldn't and then noticed i got an error saying blank media or whatever

so i tried a different usb, couldn't locate it either and right after i took the adapter out of the phone, screen turned black and unresponsive. thing now won't turn on at all. won't recognize a charger, different battery, can't even boot into download mode. i went to verizon store and they couldn't figure it out either. so now i have a replacement coming, should be here on tuesday

but anybody experience anything like this? and when i return it to them since it must be fried they shouldn't even be able to tell it's been rooted?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] aypeeootrek:
Deleted
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eersfanpilot:
I was running CM10 before this, switched and never looked back. I would wipe, flash 2.5 then go back a few pages and flash the patch file that updates the power management and stuff.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rotzy:
What is the "Samsung_Service" file? I tried searching for the answer but couldn't really find it.

Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kujayhawks77:
2 part question..

1) Anyone use driving mode?

2) How does one toggle it? Not seeing it on the quick panel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ljbrenes:
I use during mode almost everyday. There's no toggle that I know of. One way to enable it is to get a car mount. When you plug the usb into the car mount the phone goes into car mode.

I also use an app called car home ultra. It has a setting to force the phone into car mode when you launch the app. There's a trial version of the app good for about a month if you want to try it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] m3Jorge:
What app are you using to give you those stats... I like the way it breaks it down?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Nnyan:
GSam i believe
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] liquidraven:
Curious to know if there is a way to have by default apps from the market installed on the ext sd card with this ROM? not using apps2sd as it wont recognize my sd card.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tu3218:
hey xyno or anyone else that knows,

does the flash zip you put out that updates the rest of the modem, does that stay in affect even if I wipe an flash a different rom? I'm going back to scoslers G7 base where my phone got incredible battery life and I'm wondering does your zip effects still work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] davidnc:
Yup It is Gsam Battery Monitor.

I have been using it for a long time, very useful app ,imo ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zakth:
Scott, I've a confession to make. I've been cheating on you with all these jelly bean builds. But I keep coming back, because no matter how sexy the look, yours is still more stable, reliable and has the stamina... the Rom that is... :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BrUhNiGGs:
For those getting good ass battery life, are you using just the stock G7 stock kernel? I've just odin'd back to full stock, took the OTA, and now im flashing back to CleanRom. I wanna see how much it will improve.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jugger naut:
Was having many problems after crack flashing everything under the sun TW & AOSP. Finally found my DD. Thank you Scott incredible job.:thumbup:

I Odined back to bone stock inluding stock .Pit took OTAs over wifi rooted unlocked and flashed Clean Rom 2.5

Check this out

First full run with a Hyperion ext battery

Almost 2 days and just shy of 12hrs of screen time

Sent from my Clean S3 via Taptalk
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] slimc84:
i get pretty close to 2 days between charges with about 3hrs of screen time and 1.5-2hrs of call time...standard battery using HD kernel and HD modems...odin'd to stock and took OTA prior to rooting and flashing CR....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BrUhNiGGs:
Thats crazy good. But then again, it is 4200 mah battery, how do you hold that phone around? lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Divey1130:
Installed this rom last night and it's pretty fast. I like has it retains the stock look but yet optimized to run better. I checked everything and the only thing that didn't work was the hotspot. I could not cennect to the phone with my laptop and another phone. I went to the apps store and got free tethering and now I can connect. I have a unlimted data plan so this will be very useful for me. Installed google now and that works great as well. I love using that over s voice even tho s voice is not to bad. All in all it runs great, looks great, and I like it. Thanks you Scott for this great rom. Coming from a droid x to this was a huge difference.

Terry
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sfobrien:
Take a look at FoxFi if you haven't already, free wireless tethering.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jugger naut:
The fact that I'm 6'4 and can palm a basketball helps. Lol

In all honesty I like it better with the larger case. I hike, run, and mountain bike with it (Runkeeper and Backcountry apps are awesome) The ext case adds a great deal of rigidity to the phone for when I don't quite make it over the log or graze a tree. It gives me a little more side contact with my hand as well. Sausage fingers and wafer thin phone just don't mix. :fingers-crossed:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jdelta9889:
Unable to download nfl mobile app... works on wife's phone which is not rooted. Any ideas??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] x714x:
iirc you can't run the nfl app on any rooted device.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chill145:
this is not true as i was running nfl mobile
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rotzy:
Download "Verizon Login" from the app store. Then you should be able to use NFL Mobile.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MichaelTheCrum:
Think I read disable add blocking as well
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thrgk:
Can I use kt747 kernel with this? The 2.5? Also I don't need to take the ota update by going back to rock correct?

---------- Post added at 04:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:40 AM ----------

OK decided I will go stock and take the update. I'm rooted unlocked and flashed now. Can I just use the stock w/ root version and flash back to stop k w/ root by Odin and take the update? Or do I need to go fully stock un root relock?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] njmeyers83:
This can't be good but the battery life is good seeing being that I flashed this yesterday......any thoughts?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Divey1130:
Does it normally take awhile for the gps to lock on. I find that after launching navigation it takes a good 5 minutes or so. If this is normal do people usually leave gps on all the time or........

Thanks

Terry
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] WizeGuyDezignz:
When I install a new rom it usually takes a few minutes to get an initial lock. After that initial lock, it shouldn't take very long.

I turn gps off when not using it and it doesn't affect lock time after the initial lock.

Good luck!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BrUhNiGGs:
Yeah I guess im going back to KTK kernel. Just tried stock kernel and only got 8 hours and 1 hr on screen time with 30% of battery life... There is no app in the background killing my battery. I wanted to see if this would improve but I guess it didnt.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Nnyan:
Very weird this has been solid for weeks and all of a sudden battery life tanks and i get my first ever screen of death. Going to try to pin oount what is chewing battery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] StrumerJohn:
Switching over to this ROM. Hopefully it's as good as you guys say it is. I need something nice to run on as a backup for when I'm not testing or making MODs and such.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TheBurgh:
Are there any kernels beside stock that would improve battery life?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ljbrenes:
No, there is no other kernel for this other than stock. Not until samsung releases source code for the kernel on g7 or hd bases. I doubt battery life can get much much better than this though, I am getting 24 hours plus with about 3 hours screen time and the regular stock battery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TheBurgh:
Thanks. That's all I needed to hear.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jdelta9889:
Broad Statement...

I doubt this is accurate..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] countryfolk07:
So what is lean kernel and KTK kernel? They are TW kernels. How are they working on G7 bases? Just would like like to know. I'm new to this phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] flash_27:
Glad to be back to this stable rom again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ljbrenes:
You can flash them at your own risk, they work just fine for some people on g7 based roms, but I understand that for the mayority will trigger forcecloses left and right. Also, you probably wont get any support here as Scrooler has stated clearly that for now you should stick with the stock rom that comes with the zip.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thrgk:
I went back to Stock Verizon s3 Rooted, and went to get the update, but just told me to go there when its avalible again. Any idea? Really want g7 update
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ljbrenes:
You have the same SIM card issue I and many many VZ users with a S3 are having, you will never get the update witth the sim card. The moment you put in a new SIM card you will see the update.

You can probably go back to the store and request a new Sim card, just make sure you are back to stock. Or... there is a zip somewhere in here that flashes the OTA files that can not be flashed with the ROM zip. You can probably do a search here on g7 OTA zip something.... If you flash this and CleanRom 2.5 you are pretty much where you would be with the OTA.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thrgk:
can i get ota update on stock ROOTED? or is it turned off?

---------- Post added at 02:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:48 PM ----------

i have a new simcard here from verizon, a month ago, can i use that? or do i need to go to the store because they have to put my IMEI on it or something?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] WizeGuyDezignz:
Yeah it's not accurate. I'm running the NFL app just fine on my rooted device.
