In 1.2 you are no longer able to set chrome as the default browser. Chrome has also been removed from the ROM to save space. Somehow com.android.phone requires that the stock default browser be there and therefore can not be removed from the ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] idelgado782:
But you can download chrome from the market and just set it to default to open all web pages. That's what I did.

How is battery life on rgis rom synergy is eating my battery
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tonyb81:
I'm currently running cm10 nightlies and for the life of me I cant figure out why when I flash this it just gets stuck on a black screen after it shows the gs3 logo. I can flash Beans stock build fine but not this one. Any tips?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tonytownsend:
You bave to flash a stock kernel. You need to install the rom first which u did now install factory kernel
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bigmook:
I can never find the download leaks while using tapatalk so subsequently can't use it. smh
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tonyb81:
Can you flash a kernel in recovery like I could on my nexus?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tonytownsend:
Yes you can
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ErylFlynn:
Yep and I did, thus the error. I read earlier that if you have chrome as the default browser you get the error, but if you set the stock one to default it goes away.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tonytownsend:
Thank you for this Rom it is my favorite out of all of them love the option menu on installation it beautiful.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tombepa:
Now that we don't have to have a kexec kernel, what is a good one to use that is non-kexec?

Nevermind, found your thread on stock unsecure kernel and flashed it. Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Huh?

Is your bootloader unlocked? Do you have a bone stock or my unsecured boot.img installed?

On its way boss. Your gonna like this one! As soon as I hit all these replies... Im gonna post. Added a little extra coolness to ROM ;c)

Not unless its default by Samsung. I have made no modifications so such.

Your welcome!

The problem is the stock browser being missing. you can set Chome as default if stock browser is installed. but yes, thats been finxed by installing stock browser. Not sure how or why but Samsung tied the browser to the phone :silly:

Correct!

Yep! Thats what do!

I once went 7 days without recharging!!!! But the phone was off, lol. I really dont know how battery life is because I am constantly flashing. I have not had an uptime longer 8 hours.

Strange. Do you have stock kernel installed.

I think you might be right.

I never leak my downloads I make them public to all as soon as they are done :p If you cant find the download links... type "www.scottsroms.com" int a web browser and from there you clock on "Downloads" then from there pick the device then the ROM. The link in the op just brings you to the website.

You Should contact the tapatalk developers and tell them to fix there app and stop worrying making ugly ass colored versions. A functional one would be nice. But I digress...

No, thats not correct. On 1.1 you could choose not to install the stock browser. Doing so would cause the error as I explained above...

About to post 1.3... BRB.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidiam:
Does this rom support hdmi out? Just wondering because I bought a “Official" hdmi mhl adaptor off of Amazon and its not working =/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] skiddingus:
+1 to that!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sfobrien:
I was going to do the same but when ahead and flashed the Ultra version. Runs very well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ltbakken:
It didnt run as well as the full versions for me. Maybe i just wanted any reason to come back to 2.5. I was on lite for a few hours. Not long enough to fully get a feel but ill wait for the next clean update.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] travis.bridges10:
Hey guys, running CR 2.5 and just have a few questions for those of you using tasker and/or swiftkey. Im still new to flashing and knowing symptoms of bugs unless they are just obvious.

1. My mobile data toggle in the notification bar will not change colors like its suppose to. I use tasker to toggle data off when connected to my home wifi. I have another data widget toggle that i have up and it lights on and off. But notification bar toggle doesnt. How can i fix this?

2. I also am a big fan of swift key. But my predictions have stopped working. Ive checked the settings but cant get them to come back up. It wasnt working on liquidsmooth either. My free trial did just end, i didnt know if it gets disabled when the trial ends or if these roms effect it. I am not pointing the finger at CR doing this. So far i love this rom, 10x better than LS. I just want to know the source. Suggestions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thrgk:
Why would my app usage be 60%?? That's really high usually 15-20%. Not even doing anything other then browsed tapa talk and did some texting
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] guthrien:
We really need the source to release so Scott can make a kernel. I reviewed all the changelogs today for firmwares since G1 and there's hardly any positives at all unless you had sim issues. There are no battery optimizations etc. All these newer builds are just slight changes to stock without his engine. They benchmark well below 2.1 without any real bonus besides problem radios.

I can't believe we won't even see a stock based JB until likely 2013. That's the biggest problem with this phone despite it being powerful enough to run ICS just fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Thats the recoveyr failing to flash proplery. This is going on with the new twrp. Its been reported on a lot of different devices.

How much battery life are you getting? People sometimes dwell too much on little details like that but you have to look at the big picture... How long can you go on one charge?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
To be honest with you man, I kinda feel the same way. IM really dissapointed with our options right now. If this phone was not fast and smooth out the box with the new updsates and stock kernel I would have revererted back the G1 base and kept developing the kernel to make it more optimized. I almost htink Sammy and Big Red are just screwing with us. They never released G7 code and I really wonder if they will release the HE code. Only thing listed right now is F2 / G1.

I also wonder.... If any of the kernel code from the sprint device can be utilized but if it could.. what base would i use of theres. The ****ty thing is you cant go by build numbers so its all guess work. And to guess yoru way through this is more than I want to do.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
See, thats what I am saying.. You got to look at the big picture before the fine details.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tee00max:
I try JB roms for the smoothness but I still find myself coming right back to this Rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Good stuff!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bby144:
Same here. I just tried liquid smooth for a day but just not feeling them and it really didn't seem to be that smooth. Back on 2.1
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MrBrady:
Anyone have a link (or way) to get Google Now working with CleanROM 2.1? When I flash the zip in the OP, it force closes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rwc95:
On the swiftkey deal you have to buy it and the predictions will come back. When trial runs out keyboard still there but no predictions.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hank3fan:
Did you follow all the instructions in the op? I remember there were 2 or 3 things you had to check to see if they were set properly. Otherwise it wouldn't work. I'll try to post it when I get time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Morkai Almandragon:
is there an intention to update this to the HE version if we want it? Or are we better switching to the lite version? Has anyone just applied the update over 2.5?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jdelta9889:
Brightness

Are they any plans to add tweaks to auto-brightness?? Or maybe add on option for "super high brightness? I wasn't sure if there was any way to do this via code or not.. I personally use manual brightness controls and use 50% 75% or 100% when in direct sunlight, but I thought it would be nice to have a super bright option for those times you are outside. Just a thought :confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] guyd:
I think Scott said that he might update CleanROM to the new HE base this weekend, if he had time. Scott, please forgive me if I'm misquoting you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmorton10:
Same here, I have two G3's & right now the second one has Liquid on it.

I don't find it even a tiny bit faster or smoother so people claiming it it faster/smoother are exoeriencing a placebo effect IMHO.

It also have a few annoying bugs that I have been unable to solve (NFL app doesn't work & a few other things etc).

CleanROM 2.1 with the simple red/black theme is the best setup I have ever run on any phone period (& nothing else is even close IMHO)

I stick with 2.1 for things like the volume music skip track feature etc.etc.etc.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HeyRobi:
What is the recommended kernel for this rom? I noticed that on my car charger I slowly drain while talking on the phone and using it. Is there an app to see what's pulling all the juice. Not using the phone, like over night for example it only drops about 10 or 15% with seems ok for 8 hours.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Morkai Almandragon:
oh I love that too, I hope they do a comprehensive update to this for the HE update!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tu3218:
You can't use anything because source code hasn't come out for G7.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] guyd:
The included kernel is the recommended kernel for this rom. You can try a custom kernel at your own risk.

As for an app to see what's pulling all the juice, I use GSam Battery Monitor
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MrBrady:
There are no instructions in the OP, only a link to the file.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] branshaw09:
I just flashed it in CWR after I flashed the ROM. Worked fine for me. Maybe you got a bad download?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hank3fan:
Double Checking:

- Let the ROM boot all the way, then fire up ES File Explorer (or whichever one you feel like using). We need to make sure a few permissions stuck (just in case).

- If you haven't used ES File Explorer before, open it, then hit menu.

* Tap settings, then scroll all the way down.

* Check the box that says "Up to Root" (pic).

* Then check the box that says "Root Explorer"

* Allow root access when the dialogue box for Superuser pops up.

* After that, check off "Mount file system", then back out of the menu. (pic)

- Navigate to /system/usr/srec/ and find two folders named "config" and "en-US"

- Tap and hold on the "config" folder icon to bring up the options menu, then scroll down to Properties.

- Tap properties, then tap change and see if the check boxes match this picture.

- If it matches, leave it alone and head back to your home screen to enjoy using Google Now! If it doesn't match, change it so it does.

- Do the same thing for the "en-US" folder.

- Go into the settings menu for Google Now and set it up for your Google account and various other settings.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MrBrady:
Not a bad download, but perhaps a bad install (latest TWRP). I re-wiped everything and reinstalled Clean 2.1 and the Google Now Offline V7 and it worked fine. Thanks for the help!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ponyboy82:
I'd actually like for a darker low-brightness. In a totally dark room, the screen seems darker than it needs to be.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
At this time I have no plans to modify the darkness levels.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] evolishesh:
Scott! Are you going to update this rom to the latest update?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tu3218:
He said he may get to it this weekend to get to 3.0. No guarantees obviously.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] burkett375:
you need to rename or delete the two apk's in the system/app folder that correspond to the old search
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ponyboy82:
No worries, didn't expect you to in the rom. Does anybody know of a way to adjust the auto brightness curves though? And is it just a matter of like setting up a different profile?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mrmccain9:
Try Lux. Its an ap for changing auto brightness and such.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HeyRobi:
Thanks for all the replies you guys rock ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Why is this in my thread?

Dont get me wrong, I am jumping to Note II when its out... BUt take this concern to the general forums.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmorton10:
Just realized that I am having problems sending MMS. I select a .jpg file that was taken the camera, click share with messaging, it says resizing the image then it says unsupported image type.

Has anybody seen this happen?? My other G3 with Liquid Smooth sends the exact same image just fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Nnyan:
Being responsible for telecom for our company i get to pick the phones we deploy to employees. I have just over 100 GS3s across Sprint and Verizon. I have 30 of these rooted and I agree that taking any two phones is no where near enough of a sample to determine speed between two ROMs. I can find samples that show close performance with almost any two ROMS.

But dont fool yourself in thinking that overall there isnt a significant difference in performance between the ROMS based on different versions, even if your two phones did not. At least that is what i found across a decent sample size. JB is typically faster as is AOSP. As with anything there is a trade off since these tend to be more unstable.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] guthrien:
Are you going Verizon? Not to crap up the thread but my comment is very much about where your Note development will be.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Shibby87:
Mr Scott this ROM is superb, no lag on wake, amazing battery life and rock solid stability. Between this and Synergy, my phone has gone from premo to unreal. I have to say I'm experiencing more stable hotspoting and teathering than any other ROM I've flashed including Synergy and stock G7, no dips in reception at all. Lovin the fact that all that Verizon crapola is non existent! Keep it up man, I'll be donating as soon as my paycheck clears :thumbup:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jeffk93:
If this gets updated to the HE base does that mean we might get a clean kernel to go with it? :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] guyd:
Only if Samsung releases the HE Kernel source code can Scott can tweak it and recompile it as CleanKernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmorton10:
Actually, I am the head of our corporate cell division & I am responsible for just over 380 phones at last count.

We have probably fifty G3's at last count & I see virtually zero speed difference between JB/AOSP etc & CleanROM (we have multiple copies of each at this point).

If the difference is there it is too small to detect.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ljbrenes:
Request for Scott:

Would you consider adding Google Now as maybe an option in Aroma during the install process? I know you can just flash it, but trust me, I have and it just doesnt work right. Ever since I flashed it, anytime something tries to use the google tts engine it force closes. I have tried everything: redownloading, re flashing, fixing permission, wipes, everything! In all of the roms I have tried that come with G Now baked in it just works perfectly.

Would you please consider this when you are baking your next version of CleanRom whenever that might be? to maybe make it an option in Aroma if not already preinstalled in the rom?

Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Nnyan:
Then our experieces are different as not only user experience but the benchmarks show it too. Weve even seen a difference in how well different ROMS perform after apps are installed. We find just about all ROMS are fast after a fresh install. After you put in a number of apps i noticed significant variance in performance and stability. I personally love Scotts ROMS and they are tops in stability and performance but i have yet to see any ROM that has been stable on ALL of our phones be it an HTC, Moto or Samsung.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Not sure yet... Maybe AT&T maybe Verizon. I am only up $100 and need a hell of a lot more, so I got plenty of time to decide, lol

Thanks for your future donation! I am saving up!

Is this iPhone 5 compatible?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
IM going ot be honest with you guys, I am not rich. Far from it. I will tell you what I said in the One X forum. I may need to sell the device to pay for the term fee. $300.00+ is a lot of money to me. I basically can only afford these deivces if I get donations.

If I dont get donations I may have to sell the device. I cant have it all :(

The One X commuinuity chipped in and basically bought me a One X. They paid for me to get it, and when I got it and switched to the SGS3 they paid my term fee from ATT so I could keep the phone without selling it and let me continue development.

Let me be clear... As this caused some heartache in the One X forums (by some haters). I am not asking ANYONE to donate ANYTHING to me. If you want to donate and help me build my phone collection and possibly contiue develoiping ont his phone then I encourage you to do so. Otherwise, I may have to sell this phone to cover the cost of a new phone.

This is no way me threatenting the community, its just the truth. Nothing more, nothing less.

There is nothing to read into, I stated what is true.

Sopr ofr all the post-ramble but this caused so much bull**** when I asked the One X community to help me pay the term fee so I didint have to sell the phone and could conintue development yet other devs can start "by me a phone thread" and not a word is said.

EDIT: And if somone wanted to start a thread like this for me: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1844738

I would not be opposed!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] guthrien:
I've got zero complaint about developers asking for help. Especially to support several phones. I've donated and if a fraction of your regular users donated the price of a middling app you'd be fine.

Anyhow, I wouldn't be sore at you either way. But I don't pretend your Note plans won't affect my carrier decision as there will likely not be AOSP ROMs on that device due to public statements about the processor.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
You would not be the first person that has left and followed me to another carrier, lol

Sorry if this is a silly question but i have an apk for the AOSP ICS keyboard. I prefer that keyboard but dont want to flash it if it is not compatible.

Am i ok to flash or no?

Loving the ROM. Huhe props!!!

Scott,

Got your ROM and gotta say it is pretty nice, however I had a problem and it seemed to be a rather big one so hopefully you can help. I had lightflow installed while running your ROM and it was absolutely killing my battery life. Any suggestions or is best to just go without lightflow for now?

Try uninstalling then install again. Light flow doesn't kill my battery.

I've been PM'd twice about running CleanROM 2.5 on the new HE firmware, so I though I'd post my experience here.

I realize that not everyone will have the same results as me, but FWIW here's what I did.

1. Odin'd back to stock VRALF2 (which is what my phone originally came with)

2. Took the G7 OTA update (while completely stock)

3. Took the HE OTA update (while completely stock)

4. Rooted using the Debugfs method

5. Unlocked bootloader

6. Flashed TWRP recovery (v2.2.2.0)

7. Wiped phone in TWRP

8. Flashed CleanROM 2.5

9. Flashed VRALHE kernel (CleanROM 2.5 comes with G7 kernel)

Done! Now ALL the core firmware is on the HE build, except the ROM which is on the G7 build.

Works great for me, and I'm completely satisfied with this setup (until scott releases a new build :D)

I've seen no compatibility issues with the G7 ROM base running on the HE firmware/kernel/radio base.

Battery life is superb!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Shibby87:
How's lte, better, worse, same?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] guyd:
When moving to the new HE firmware as I indicated above, my signal strength is the same (compared to the HD radio), but my average download speeds are better.

For example, from my kitchen table (where I get the strongest signal in my home around -100 to -96) I was averaging 22-24 Mbps on the HD radio.

Now in the same location on the full HE firmware/kernel/radio I'm averaging 27-30 Mbps.

The only difference is I tested this scenario a few days apart, rather than on the same day back to back. It could be that one day had a lesser load on the tower than the other.

I dunno, but the full HE setup is certainly as good if not slightly better for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LanRen:
Donation sent. Thanks for your hard work Scott! Love this ROM. Hope to keep getting updates. I dont know about whatever crap you went through on the One X or whatever but supporting developers has been a must for me since my OG Droid days. This is the first time I ever stuck with a ROM based on "stock" but Touchwiz is awesome and you cleaned out all the crap and made it customizeable. Greaty Job! (My 2 cents leave the themeing separate cuz there are way to many opinions on that to make everyone happy)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ltbakken:
It beat the hell out of mine as well.

Do you have a flashable of the VRALHE kernel that you would care to share? Im running a cleanrom that I made from the ultra light edition with all the apps I use added back in from the stock rom running good so far but if I go back to cleanrom 2.5 I would like to try the new kernel.
